GOOD DAY FOR THE GIANTS. But it Leaves the Senators Still Further in the Hole. MOW ITWAS DONE—THE RECORD CHANGED—AND SOME PEOPLE KNOW NO BETTER THAN TO SUP- POSE THE GAME WAS SOLD TO THE GOTHAMITES— GAMES ELSEWHERE. “We are the people!” said Manager Mutrie Yesterday afternoon, as he saw his men pack Up their bats after defeating the Senatorial ball team by the score of 12 to 4 And Happy James smiled, for this victory, added to the defeat of Boston, gave the Giants their long- coveted lead in the pennant race. Hank O'Day also wore « broad grin, for it had mainly been his good right arm that had slain the enemy. Brown caught him, while Ferson and Daly were the Senatorial battery. The Gothamites won by bunching their hits in two innings, with the aid of a few errors by the home team. Arthur Irwin played an uneven game at short, ae The game was featureless save for Ward's great catch of « hot line ball from Hoy’s bat in the fourth that cut off a run or two and Tieruan’s home run hit in the fifth that cleared the right field fence at the ex- ) ey beng thus excelling Wilmot’s hit in o game, Washington took the field last and began the scoring in the second. Wise’s single, John Irwin's sacrifice. Mack's hit and John Ward's error. This gave the home men a lead, which they kept until the fourth, when a base on balls Mack's wild throw, Brown’s two bagger into left and Arthur Irwin's fumble gave the Giants three runs and a slight margin.

Then New York won the game by making five runs. Tiernan led off with his four bagger. Ward bunted safely and Rich- ardson hit for two bases. Connor waited for four bad balls and filled the only re- bag, and then O'Rourke made two men touch the rubber by hitting safely into left, after which Arthur Irwin's fumble and Daly's wild throw to third let in two more runs. The Senators made their last tally in the seventh on a hit by Beecher, a base on balls, a bali and an out. New York made four more in the eighth on two bases on balls, two hits and abad error by Beecher, who let the ball go between his feet. Washington made 9 hits and 5 errors and New York 11 hitsand3 errors. GAMES ELSEWHERE. Philadelphia beat Boston 3to2. Buffinton and Clements and Clarkson and Bennett were the batteries. Boston made 11 hits and 4 errors and Philadelphia 8 hits and 2 errors. The Hoosiers took a game from the Anson- fans 4to3. Boyle and Buckley and Hutchin- son and Farrell were in the points. Chicago made 6 hits and 9 errors and Indianapolis 5 hite and 7 errors. The game in Pittsburg was prevented by rain. No association games were scheduled for yes- terday. THE LEAGUE RECORD.

What the Figures for August Will Show. From the Baltimore Sun. The finance and executive committees of the day prepared reports for submissi i Tectors’ meeting tomorrow. The directors have not assembled since July, when a special meet- ing was held to approve the reorganization of the road. The statement for August will show an unusually heavy business in both passenger and freight transportation and it is stated that the gross earnings will be in advance of those for the same month last year. Eight of the eleven new locomotives ordered by the Baltimore and Ohio from the Baldwin works in Philadelphia have been received at Camden station. They are numbered from 838 to 843, which gives an idea of the enormous engine equipment of the road. The new loco- motives are built to pope and site = for passenger trains on ip! ranc! and first division. They will be given short end slow runs over the rails at first until their capacity and stability are thoroughly tested. Second Vice President King of the Baltimore and Ohio has returned from Harper's Ferry, where ho went to look after the proposed re- movalof the main-line track from the river bank. Rights of way for the new route have been adjusted and Chief Engineer Doug- las is examining the locality with a view to selecting the most feasible and permanent roadway. A new bridge over the Potomac, which will be better able to withstand the ef- fects of freshets and floods than the present structure, will be built in time. so Dramatic Stars from Washington. From the New York World. Not many years ago in Washington there flourished a dramatic association, There may be many such little ambitious amateur circles there now, but the one in question became a memory when it gradually dissolved under the mature responsibilities which grew upon its members, Three of its members are in Uncle Sam's service abroad, and no doubt many more are drawing greenbacks fram the same avuncular source for service in the different hx aime But what was once only a social relaxation developed for others # financial value of cardinal importance in the question of livelihood. Wilton Lackaye, one of the highest-priced and most artistic’ of stage vil- lains, was one of those Washington amateurs. He pronounced his name “lackey” then. Tim lurphy, oae of Hoyt & Thomas’ favorite comedians—who, by the way, looks like an elongated edition of Lawrence Barrett—was another ‘member. Murphy is an inimitable mimic and made his first hit at a benefit = formance in this city several ago, when he imitated John MeCullough. Miss Jessie Wheeler, the daughter of Gen. Wheeler of Washington, some time after the circle dis- banded was Rhea’s leading lady. She was a girl full of promise and a striking likeness of Mary Anderson. She has left th e, but is not exactly out of the dramatic world yet, for she is the wife of Manager James Morrissey. -2oe— The President’s Primeval Neighbors. Deer Park Letter to Philadelphia News, President Harrison has had some interesting neighbors at Deer Park. They are the moun- taineers from the Backbone mountain, who come over to the village twice a year driving a pair of stolid, heavy-eyed oxen attached toa primitive sled, for the aboriginal of the Back- bone can make a sled of logs, although he can- not turn a wheel. Other noted neighbors are the mighty hunters of Meadow and Orange mountains bee d who have lived in their log cabins for nearly one hundred years, trapping, hunting and fishing. Seen in the village rarely are these mountain Nimrods, for they have no need of money and rarely barter, Once in a while one of them will come to the village, a woman often, astride an old mare, carrying home-made paniers, with a firkin of butter or | a bucket of eggs. If the chief magistrate of the United States should walk three miles to the west of his danghter’s cottage he would find a way of living as primitive as that among the Indians when white men first touched these shores, He would see a plough which is a crude triangle of wood, a sled made of the untrimmed boughs of trees, and he might have cracked a whip as simple as those used in the biblical days, for the native’s ox goad isa tree branch with the pith taken out half way down and the bark twisted into a lash. — yon Be In a Trance With Her Shroud On, A Bnffalo special says Mrs. William Diemens of Wilson, in Niagara county, apparently died Thursday night of a low fever.

Itis said that the Chicago police are in possession of evidence to show that the had made arrange- ments to have found in the Thames river a mu- tilated and disfigured corpse, arrayed in the clothes which Dr. Cronin wore on the night he disappeared, together with his watch and other trinkets.

The bor, it is claimed, was entrusted to a porter on an Inman line steamer, who in due time turned it over to a conspirator stationed at Liverpool. This ‘man, it is said, was to look after the rest of the plot. He rented a cottage several miles from mdon on the Thames river and made ar- rangements to secure from Gray's hospital a corpse resembling in general features ap- pearance of Dr, Cronin, The idea was to array this in Dr. Cronin’s habiliments, throw it into the Thames and allow it to be found a day or two later, thus shifting from Chicago to London the scene of the crime. The discovery of Dr. Cronin’s body in the catch basin in Lakeview upset the lans of the plotters, and this man fied from she cottage on the night of May 23. The stew- ard whose services were secured is not an Irish- man, but he did the job at the uest of an ish physician, a uate of ‘Trinity college, Dublin, who has traveled on the vessel for years as the ship’s doctor, The Chicago Journal last evening published the above story, and connected the names of John F.

Schuettler and De- tective John Collins, to whose efforts the identification of both Cooney and Burke is due, called at the state attorney's office about 6 o’clock and had # long conference with the at- torneys for the prosecution, They declined to state the object of their business, but it was said on authority that they had called to talk about Cooney. ————+er-—____ MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED. Sad Result of a Railroad Wreck at Tioga Junction. Last evening a train carrying seven coaches ran into an engine at Tioga Junction, Pa., causing a fearful wreck, killing and injuring about twenty-five persons, The train was coming down a heavy grade, and, owing to the slippery track and the refusal of the air-brakes to work, the engineer was unable to stop the train at the station and it rushed by, crashing into one of the Fall Brook heavy jumbo engines, completely demolishing both. The engineer and fireman jumped and escaped with slight injuries, The smoker and three Passenger cars were smashed into kindling wood. The wreck caught fire and it was with difficulty that some of the passengers were rescued from the burning wreck. The flames lit up the heavens for miles around and people rushed in from all parts to render what aid they could. A message was sent to Elmira asking for medical aid and a train was made up in a very short tim In the meantime doctors from Lawrenceville and Tioga had arrived and given all possible assistance. Stretchers were quickly provided and the wounded were car- ried to neighboring houses, FOREIGN NOTES. Frascuelo, the Spanish torero, has retired with a fortune estimated at $600,000.

In the examination of Confidential Clerk Woodruff in the Ives case in New York yester- day after the report of Tue Stan had closed witness was asked when he resigned his posi- tion with Ives & Co., and replied August 11, 1887. Afters few more queries by the district at- torney the fact was brought out of the burning of the stock ledger in the cellar of Ives’ house in Brooklyn. Ives had said: ‘This book must be destroyed, If it falls into their hands it will show the fact of the over-issue of stock.” Woodruff proceeded to explain the contents of the stock ledger in detail and how the false and genuine stock was recorded, When he first to make entries Ives came up to him said: “Why, you d—n fool, what are you doing that for?” Woodruff d that he conld easily scratch them out, but his cautious employer was not to be tht that way, and the ent stood until the volume was consigned to the consuming Lawyer Brooke here scored his first of the day. Witness was asked what Ives said when he (W: asked him when he was pers, Bed redeem the old stock.

Wit- ness pointed out, at the request of the L here cution, the entry of those shares he had desij nated to his grasping employers which would be —— to offset the issue of fraudulent stoc! After recess Woodruff resumed his testimony. He caid Ives was invariably promising to have stocks in ‘‘a few days,” but it never came. One day Woodruff went to the cashier's cage and was handed twenty or thirty shares. This was about March 1, and the certificates were for cancellation. A few of the number were of the fraudulent issue destroyed by witness at Ives’ request, Witness explained that the stock had been signed by Mr. Eugene Zimmer- man, who 3 emeaasy his initials over Ives’ signa- nature. This was done for the purpose of identification. When Ives heard of this he cut out the initials with a punch, but a flourish or two of the letters were still left on the paper. Ives remarked: “We must not let Burns learn of this.” Burns is cashier of the American na- tional bank, which was the registrar of Cincin- nati, Hamilton and Dayton stock. The registration of Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton stock be; on August 26, 1880, and in December, 1886, Ives took old certificates to the bank. In the following April Burns called on Ives and demanded to see the cancelled cer- tificates, Ives promised to get them. Wood- ruff and Ives Ly bagesd marked upon the back of the old certificates the number of registered stock issued. When they were returned they bore the cancellation mark of the bank. There | was an excess of cancelled certificates, mostly of the issue of June 19, 1896, and these were de- stroyed by Ives. The certificate book was de- stroyed in March, but the unused certificates were saved and produced in court. When ex- amined by the witness he said they bore can- cellation marks he had never seen before. The court then adjourned until today. -oe—____ TANNED BY ELECTRICITY. American Tanners Surprised at the European Process, From the New York Mail and Express. The process of converting hides into leather, as now followed, consumes a space of time varying from six to twelve months. It also de- mands close attention and good management, 48 well as experience. Great care has to be ex- exercised in the selection of material, else a lot of choice hides are found at the expiration of the tanning season to have deteriorated into second or even third quality leather. {PWhen it was reported from France that leather was being tanned by electricity Ameri- can tanners regarded the statement asa news- paper sensation. Twenty-four hours was con- sidered pretty quick work for even electricity, It was not until the doubting Thomases had seen and felt that they believed. But now since tanning if this process seems an assured fact it is no longer regarded as a sort of trans- atlantic offset to our electric sugar refining. Every item that can be gleaned is thoroughly discussed and every source of information eagerly sought. ‘The process, as described by those who have seen it, isavery simple one. The hides are pert in large cylinders, which revolve upon orizontal axles. The drum is filled with a decoction of tannin and closed, Provision is made for the passing of a current of electricity through the drum. The drum is kept slowly revolving until the process of tanning is com- pleted. The length of time required varies with the nature of the hide. For the lighter skins, such as sheep and goat, which used to require from three to six months, by the elec- ric process are tanned in twenty-four hours, The heavier hides, such as calf, ox, cow or horse, require from seventy-two to ninety-six hours, y the old-fashioned bark process twelve months, or even more would have been en. AN INGENIO TRICK, How Reading Through an Envelope is Done. From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. One of the puzzling tricks performed by so- called public mind readers or clairvoyants is anextremely simple deception, The performer standing on the stage asks several persons in the audience to write each a sentence on a slip of paper and seal it in an envelope. Of course the stationery Is furnished and afterward col- lected. One of the audience is a confederate and writes a sentence agreed upon beforehand. When the assistant goes through the house gathering up the envelopes the confederate’s contribution is esrefully put where it will be the last one of the lot to be taken up. ‘The performer picks out an envelope and, after feeling of it, with much ceremony pronounces the sentence agreed upon and the confederate in the audience ac- knowledges that he wrote To confirm this the performer tears open nvelope and re- ts the sentence as tho found it on 1¢ enclosed paper, which is in reality another man's sentence, which hb reads and then, pick- ing up another envelope and fumbling it over, he calls out the sentence he has just read. The one who wrote it says itis right, the performer tears open the envelope, reads what is in it and proceeds in that way through the lot, ——_+ee___—__ The Remaining Territories.

IS HE AFTER STANLEY OR FAME? Mr.Chanler and His Party Journeying in the Msai Country. The Zanzibar correspondent of the New York Herald's London edition, ina letter dated August 6, gives the following news of John Armstrong Chanler of this city, the husband of the talented young authoress, Amelie Riyes Chanler, now hunting in Africa: “I renewed acquaintance with four delegates from Kilima Njaro, who were on their home- ward journey from Europe, and with whom I had some conversation, through an interpreter, on board the steamer. The prolonged absence of those men from their homes had caused some anxiety among their friends and rela- tions, and it appears that their king, Mendara, had threatened that if they did not return soon he would seize the first European who ven- tured into his country and hold him hostage. He will ‘not, however, any need to act thus, for his subjects were all dispatched to Kilima Njaro a few days after their arrival at Mombasa in the company of some men who had brought letters down from Mr. Chanler of the Knickerbocker club of New York, and were guaeeS with stores. This gentleman came out from the states some mon’ ago, and accompanied by about 140 men went up country from Mombasa on a shoot- ing excursion, At the date of his last letter— Taveta, July 11—brought down by the men re- ferred to above, he had had no sport, but he sent news that Dr. Abbot of the Washington museum, who is collecting birds and insects, had moved into the Masai country; also that Sina of Kiboso and Mendara had been having a set-to, and the latter had got the best of it. Mr. Chanler—who, apart from being on a sport- ing trip, has, I believe, also some idea of fall- ing in with Mr, Stanley—proposed going from Taveta to Jipe, then to Arusha and afterward N’giri, where the Hon. Guy Dawnay was killed bya buffalo while shooting two or three months ago.” ———— - +00 --___ A FLYING MACHINE. Some Good Reasons Why One is Im- possible. From the Popular Science Morthly, ‘We must admit that a bird is an incomparable model of as fiying machine, No machine that we may hope to devise, for the same weight of machine, fuel and directing brain, is half so effective. And yet this machine, tfus per- fected through infinite ages by a ruthless pro- cess of natural selection, reaches its limit of weight bout fifty pounds. I said “weight of machine, fuel and directing brain.” Here is another prodigious advantage of the natural over the artificial machine. The flying animal is ite own engineer, the flying machine must —y its engineer. The directing engineer in the former (the brain) is perhaps an ounce, in the latter it is 150 pounds. The limit of the flying animal is 60 pounds, The smallest possible weight of a flying ma- chine, with its necessary fuel and engineer, even without freight or passengers, could not be less than three or four hundred pounds, Now, to complete the argument, put these three indisputable facts together: 1, There is a low limit of weight, certainly not much be- ‘ond fifty pounds, beyond which it is imposs1- le for an animal to Nature has reached this limit, and with h fort has failed to pass it. 2, The animal machine is far more effective than any we may hope to make; therefore, the limit of the weight of a success- ful flying machine cannot be more than fifty pounds. 3, The weight of any machine con- structed for flying, including fuel and engineer, cannot be less than three or four hundre pounds, a Is it not demonstrated that a true flying ma- chine, self. self-sustaining, self-pro- pelling, is ph; le?

Arehearsal was proceeding placidly in the gloomy interior of the Casino during the storm yesterday, when the second comedian threw up his head, gave « wild, untamed snort, rushed across the stage, jumped into a box and began to kick number of plush-colored and highly ornamented chairs into a bewildering collec- tion of splinters.
