A lucky bunching of hits by the New Yorks and wretched fielding by the Boston men at critical points enabled the local club to win rather handily.

IHTERESTIKG GOSSIP ABOUT THE TRIP Staley Shows Up Well The Brotherhood to Defend Sam Thompson's Case Umpire Kelly Makes a Statement To-Day's Game. SrOETIXG ETYS OF THE DAT. Manager Phillips and his team of ball players known to the world as the Pitts-burghs returned home yesterday afternoon after slaughtering tha Iloosiers and being slightly disfigured by the big men of Detroit. The manager and the hoys were smiling, however, and were not slow in saying that they had wou four of the six games played since they left home.

They all seeoied satisfied that a record like that Is a good one. Manager Phillips said: "If we could keep our ratio up we would soon step toward the top. Why, the Chicago has met the same two clubs that we have during our absence, and theybave won two games out of seven, and we have won four out of six. I am very well satisfied, although I would have liked to have captured another game at Detroit." Speaking of the trip generally, Manager Thillips said "Our boys have played great ball. There were no flukes at Indianapolis.

'We won three games there by downright good playing. The Uoosiers are playing like demons, but our players simply outplayed them, particularly in fielding and base running. Our two defeat at Detroit were simply due to the fact that the champions, hit the ball harder and oftener than we did. I cannot say tco much in favor of Staley. He is a brave young fellow.

At Detroit when the big sluggers lighted on to him he was as brave as a lion. He smiled and kept as cool as a cucumber. The big fellows simply took one of their batting streaks in tbe secoud inning of the sucond game after they had made one or two of the luckiest kind of scratch hits. Of course Staley got a drubbing hut he kept his head level and for the next lour innings the big men could not touch him. He pitched a great game at Indianapolis on Saturday.

Staley is all right, and that is all I can say about him. Tue entire team has been doing well." The manager went on to say that while in Detroit he heard rumors to tha eriecc that the Detroit management intends to suspend Sam Thompson without pay. The players of the Detroit ream, and, in fact, ail the members of the Brotherhood, mean to object to this and fight the matter. It is, therefore, likely that the Brotherhood will make a test case of it. The facts are few and simple.

A short time ago Thompson was laid off oa account of an injury to his right shoulder. The injury prevented him from throwing. He claims that his shoulder has been injured since he joined the Detroit team. Manager Watkins ami the club directors claim that he received the injury before he was sigqed to play with Detroit and that he kapt the fact secret. As a result, however, the Detroit management will not release him, but want to keep him a s.gned player without pay.

The Brotherhood does not mean to tolerate this piece of gross injustice. Manager Phillips further said that the attendance at Detroit was very poor. On Tuesday, notwithstanding there were two games, there were only 1,100 persons present. At Indianapolis, he said the crowds were also very por. Referring to a report that Manager Phillips, while at Detroit, had threatened to protest Umpire Ke.ly's decisions, Mr.

Phillips said: "Why, the thing is ridiculous. The only charge I had against Kelly was for 4 which I paid for his railroad ticket. He paid me that this evening, and we are on the best of business and friendly terms." The Hoosier will be here to-dav to tackle the local team at liecreafion Patk. After knocking out Anson and his men, thrice in succession they are sura to be full of confidence. They will also be eager to have revenge for the three straight defeats which the Pittsburgh administered to them last week.

Umpire Kelly, whose genial face is always welcome in Pittsburgh, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon with the team. He came Irom Detroit and will umpire the present series of games at Kecreation Park.

Speaking of base ball matter, he said: "Pittsburgh has a great player in Miller. I have a very high opinion of him, and he ia every Inch a ball player. Oh, but he's a tough little customer. Buckley is the best first baseman that I have seen since poor Al. McKinnon played.

Beck-ley, however, will improve, bat he is a first-class article now and a rattling hitler. Most certainly the Pittsburgh team ia much stronger to-day than it ever was when in the Association. It is stronger all around. Gaivin is pitching just as good as he ever did. On Monday at Detroit he pitched a remarkable game and he looked as younz as he did 12 years ago.

Speaking of the various clubs, the umpire said: "I think New York is playing better than any other team. There are many great players in the New York club, and I think they can beat any other team if everybody is playiu on his merits. Oh, yes, 1 like my new position excedlngly well. I have not gotten into any difficulties yet, although Anson questioned one of my decisions at Detroit. Anson kicks at very little thin is.

However, I thought that I was right, and that he was wrong and I had my way. 1 have noticed tbe discussion going on regarding tha pitchers having too much advantage over the batters this season. The pitchers have certainly none the worat of it, but I am not in favor of returning to the h'gh and low ball rule as it increases the faculties of the umpire and causes endless trouble."

Three Illegal Liquor Sellers Arrested at Greenville Grocers Big Picnic at East Liverpool Bad Freight Wreck at Wooster. Special to The Pittsbumh Post.

July 25. A very interesting event took place here this aiternoon in the laying of the corner stone of the Holy Inn.ents' Protestant Episcopal Church. In the absence of Bishop Whitehead, Rev. William White Wilson, of Kittauning, conducted the ceremonies, assisted by Revs. Bragtlon, Cametou, Dias, Dimmick and Suavely.

A number of people from Kittauning were iu attendance, while the choir oi St. Paul's Episcopal Church, of the same place, furnished the music. A procrs-don, consisting of the visitors aud local church members, was formed in the old Lutheran Church and marched to a platform adjoining the corner stone. Near this a very lair representation of the Citizens of the town had gathered to witness the ceremonies, which were all conducted in the open air. A history of the church up to the present time was read by Rev.

Charlos Bragdon, and appropriate addresses were made by Rev. William White Wilson and Rev. Mr. Bragdon. The church will be a small strncture, the dimeusious being only 20 by 6i feet, but its xistence takes especial interest from the fact that it was maiuly due to the labors aud prayers of a zealous few whose ardent longings for a local church edifice wre generously recognized by outside bonevo'ence, and a sufficient amount of money realized and promised to almost insure its complete erection and equipment without further financial ad-d tious.

Two ladies of this place, Mrs. M.try (now deceased) and Mis 1. zzie Eckuiau, are the lion's shard of credit for the acoomplishmeut of this work. THE DRUGGISTS ALL BIGHT. Thre OreeviHe Vio a'ors of the Liquor Law Arrested Yesterday.

Before ballot inn for a congressional candidate the convention unanimously nominated Judge Bob Brown, the Democratic Blackhawk of Jackson county, lor presidential elector for the Fourth district.

Alter which Governor Jackson, Major Gibson, Judge Monroe Jackson, Colouel Wilkinson and otburs made savage attacks on each other, creating a scene of turbulence and disorder never before seen. At cne time things looked serious, aud trouble was prevented only by the timely action of the friends of all parties. On the first ballot Hogg had 68 votes, Gibson and Jackson 80; on the second, Gibson had 20, Hogg 65 and Jackson 85. Between the second and third ballots the trouble again commenced by Gibson accusing Jacksou of using federal interference to secure the nomination. Ex-Marshall Wilkinson denied the charges and serious troubles was looked for, but was finally settled by friends.

On the third ballot Jackson was nominated by 91 and a fraction votes; 91 being recessary to a choice. Jackson, Hogg and the fiery Gibson all made speeches, tbe two latter burying the hatchet and promising to support the candidate.

They Declare the Republicans Must Adopt Prohibition t3 Suooeed.

St. Paul, Minw, Julv 25. The first business before the Prohibition State Convention this morning was the platform, which was adopted substantially as read. It declares high license a bar to prohibition and asserts that It has not appreciably decreased the evils of intemperance in Minnesota. Tbe Democratic aud Republican parties are held jointly responsible for the liquor crime.

It holds it to be the immediate duty of congress, under its power to regulate commerce, both foreign aud interstate, to prohibit the importation of intoxicating beverages into any State where the saloon traffic is made a statutory crime. The ninth clause is as follows: Hetohed, That the announced intention of the Republican party to remove from tobacco aud intoxicating beverages the internal revenue taxes without abolishing the saloons, and for the purpose of maintaining a high protective tariff upou articles of necessity in ordinary use, will result in cheap whisky aud tobacco and high-priced clothing, and is opposed to the best interests of the people. Hugh Harrison, of Hennepin county, was nominated for governor by acclamation. During his speech he said: "Are we going to tbe Democrats for aid? Not by any means, we goto the Republicans? They might well come to us and indorse our ticket aud platform. I don't see how else they are going to keep Ames out."

"A wave of wife-beating has struck this city," was the more alliterative than elegant remark dropped by an alderman yesterday. "I never saw anything like it," he continued. "Out of 23 cases tried by me in the last two weeks, nine grew out of wire abuse.

Seven were case, of downright wife-beating. When you stop to thiuk how much of this sort o' thing goes on, without anybody finding il out, the situation becomes spading." "But you don't hr of mauy such cases in court," suggested the reporter. "That's just it," replied the magistrate. "In nine cases out of ten ih poor woman eives in before the suil has gone that far. A sudden change kind treatment at home, or maybe iu creased abuse, swerves them from their purpose.

I have often heard it said thai the worse some women are treated by men the more loving and faithful they he come. My experience as an alderman has borne that theory out. It is gener. ally tbe first beating a woman guts that brings ber to tbe alderman's ofliee. Slit, may repent after action, withdraw this suit she has entered aud meekly take two more beatings.

Once she has Jet her woman's uature overcome her indlgua. tion, she Is like a broken-spirited horse." "I had a case last week that set me to thinking. A sad-faoed little worn, an came to me and said sbs wanted to sua her husband for Now, I don't see how a man oould be brutal enough to beat such a sweet little woman as she was," aud a queer look stole over the face which had otteu made criminals cower. "She was one of these wilt-ed little women; nothing there to strike at; all mad to squeeze. Well, I got her to talking, and she told me her husband had been abusing ber ainoe the first year they wera married.

She had borne it without a word until her little daughter became old enough to notice it. 'I can't bear to have her see him strike me, she said, I have decided to fore him to quit, if She was detenu i tied, and I told her to go ahead. 1 think it will require very li'tlo testimony from her to show that man up In court." "There are hundreds of women Just that way," continued the magistrate. "They ill endure any amount of abuse so long as liobodv knows It; but let their su tiering be discovered aud remarked upou and they are as brave as lions, ready to do anything from sueing down to pulling hair. There is nothing so humiliating to a mother as to receive abuse from ber husband in the presence of her children." "But don't the tables turn sometimes?" queried the reporter.

"Dou't tha women get hauled up for using the broom too promiscuously "Well, very seldom compared to tbe husbands. The mauling mania dou't seem to run that way." Tbe question presents itself, as it did once upon a time to Mark Twain, "why is this tbusness?" But there's reason in all things, even in wife-beating. theories have stood up on their hind legs and asked for recognition. One is the warm weather. After a Turkish bath, some scientists say, the best thing is a little freehand practice with any convenient weapon on one's wile.

Tbe exhilaration of the chase and tbe satisfactiou of a sura conquest are in no other way so perfectly blended. Another theory is the recent shyness of Miss Luna. There is some subtle fleet of this sneaking behind tbe cloud-covers perfectly irresistible to married men of certain temperaments. They might' as well try to pass by the punch bowl at a Knights Templar bauquet as keep violent hands oil' their wives while under this spell. Tbe poor traction roads have to corns in for their share of the blame.

Are not they responsible for everything uuholy? Certainly rhey are, aud wife-beating comes under that head. What man is so well poised that he can traverse one of these chaotic thorough, fares without hauling his wife around by the hair when be gets home.
