How the Senators Lost Another Game Yesterday. THEY MADE ERRORS AT THE WRONG TIME AND COULDN'T BAT AT THE RIGHT TIME—OTHER GAMES — THE CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD — THE BROTHERHOOD AND ITS PLANS, About five hundred Pitisburgers witnessed their team take a game from the Statesmen yesterday by the score of 6 to 3, At the end of the eighth inning the darkness closed round about the eighteen struggling players and Um- pire Knight called the game. As a matter of fact the Senators had no show in the game at all, being headed from the start. The batteries were Keefe and Riddle and Staley and Carroll. The story is told in the fact that Wash- ington made 10 hits and 6 errors and Pittsburg 11 hits and2errors, The Burgers had the good fortune to get in their hits along- side of the misplays of their opponents, while the latter were unable to bat when men were on bases, the entire side striking out on two oceasons when the bags were occupied. Pitts- burg made a run in the first inning and Wash- ington one in the second, herag | nearer toa lead than they ever did again, for the home elub pounded out two more runs in the third and the visitors one in their half. The Burgers Won the game in the seventh, making three runs. while the Statesmen made a feeble effort in their turn and managed to squeeze out an- other run, but one was not enough, The game lasted an hour and three-quarters. John Irwin led the batting for both sides, making four singles out of four times at bat. Mack and Kiddie made two singles each and Hoy and Beecher secured a hit apiece. Wilmot went to pieces for a great wonder and made a couple oferrors. Mack was the only thief, stealing two bases, OTHER GAMES. New York hada rather ho-d time with the Hoosiers and almost lost the grip on the pen- Rant staff, but some yellow work by their op- ponents in the sixth inning gave the Giants a couple of unearned runs and the game, the seore of which was li to % Conner’s two- bagger in the uinth ended the contest. The batteries were Keefe and Ewing and Boyle and Daily. New York made 12 hits and 3 errors and Indianapolis 10 hits and $ errors. The Bostons had a very easy time with An- son's men, downing them by the score of 3 to 3 The batteries were Clarkson, Bennett and Kelly and Gumbert and Farrell.

The championship season closes October 5 ia the league and October 14 in the association. Wood and Casey have been released by Phil- adelphia. The end of the playing is not going to stop the interest in the game by long odds, for there will be lots of talk this winter. There is no Australian tour in contemplation and Mesers. Ward, Anson and company will have a chance to talk at home. It is interesting to watch the operation of the diffusion of knowledge. The news con- tained in an original article printed in Tux Sra of Monday, September 16, is now being telegraphed all over the country from New York es news. The odd part of the business is hot so much that the facts spread forth in this way are over a week old—that is permissible— but that the able editor who clipped the story from Tux Stan, being built on the labor ng did not take the trouble to change the guage, but, recognizing its clearness aud force, left it as it was when, a week after it was rinted here, he R it iton the wire and beguiled is innocent brothers. It is quite odd. The directors of the Americ met yesterday afternoon at Cincinnati to talk oT the troubles between the St. Louis and Brooklyn teams. They talked, and when they had duished talking there was promulgated one of the queerest decisions in base ball ever known. It was «direct application of sweet stuff to the sulky president of the St. Louis club and one black eye for Mr. Byrne. The decision of Umpire Goldsmith in not calling the first came in favor of St. Louis ‘on account association of darkness” was declared erroneous and reversed, the game being given to St. Louis. fine of $1,500 imposed on the ex-champions for refusing to 2.08 with the game was remitted. ‘That was you der Ahe’s inning. Byrne had his when the board declared the action of the St. Louis team in refusing to go to the grounds the next day to play to be reprehensible and therefore fined Vou der Abe $1,500 for that breach and gave the game to Brooklyn. It was a virtual love feast, in which law and justice were disre- garded for the sake of pacifying a recalcitrant member, whose presence in such an organiza- tion is an element of danger. Then the board, feeling that somebody ought to suffer, turned on Umpire Goldsmith and recommended his decapitation. ‘Thus is Von der Abe patted on the back and made to feel that the association cannot get along without him. His threat to enter the Teague if the association should tread on his corns, printed in yesterday's Star, was a very timely hint to the board, and doubtless had its effect on the result, ‘The Washington Light Infantry base ball team will play against the Hiawathas at Cap- itol park next Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The entire proceeds of the game are to be given to genial “Pat” Fitzgerald, the keeper of the Washington's grounds, These teams are be- lieved to be evenly matched anda first-rate ex- hibition is expected. The W. L. L team has vanquished the strongest of its antagonists this season and the Hiawathas have done likewise with the best nines against which they have Played, including the strong team at Rock- ¥ Some folks are just now calling attention to section 18 of the base ball players’ contracts, which provides for releases for the next season, as a bulwark against encroachment by the brotherbood upon the league's preserves. That will not stand in the way of the players one minute if they really mean business, and it seems they do. In the first place they have al- ways claimed, and their claims have received the supporting belief of many people in author. ity, that this clause would not hold water in the courts. In fact it is almost a foregone will make no effort whatever to enforce this rule in order to check the Brotherhood’s plan, for some of the bigh- est officers are decidedly of the opinion that it is but o frail armament at best, No, the bat- tle is to be fought and finished solely on the fieid of compromise. If the league people can make large enough concessions there wil! be no co-operative base ball next year. If the league bluffs too long and the brotherhood stands out for too much money after which it will be The Never Sweat at park the concern may start, a for the wealthiest. an whole matter in a nutshell. The brotherhood and league will hold a joint meeting some time in November. The matter willthen be brought up.’ "president Day of the brotherhood says ina Chicago interview: ‘It’s the worst fake I ever saw. I don't know anything about such a scheme.

I will aot.” sad sethe The International Marine Conference. ‘The Department of State is officially informed that Vice Admiral Kaznakoff, chief inspector of marine artillery, has been appointed by the Russian government its representative at the approaching international marine conference. ‘The department has been officially notified that the following persons have been appointed to represent the imperial German government at the Washington international maratine confer- ence, viz: Dr. Silver King, president of the supreme court of Hamburg; Capt. Wensing of the German navy; Mr. Nagent Hegel, consul general of Germany at New York city; Privy Councillor Donner of the German navy, a cap- tain on the retired list; also that Baron Her- mann de Spaun, imperial and royal rear ad- miral, will represent Austria-Hungary in the conference. Arrested for Pension Frauds. At Youngstown, Ohio, a sensation was caused last night by the arrest of George S. Swanston, a leading and well-known attorney. The arrest was made at the instance of United States De- tective F. H. Pipes of this city, who charged Swanston with fraudulently collecting pension money by impersonating a dead man. It ap- pears Swanston secured « pension of @30 per quarter for Henry Pope in December, 158. One year later Pope died. Swanston continued to get bis mail at a country post office, and by forging the names of witnesses and’ Pope's, aaa notary acknowledging the same, con- tinued to draw the money for one year after Pope's death. The pension department learned of the transactions through a once friend of Swanston, who swore vengeance for a certain legal transaction, and an officer was sent on with the above result, Swanston was taken to Cleveland.

One of Chicago's largest publishing houses went under yesterday when the firm of Belford, Clark & Co. Suspended business, T. C, Ham- mond was appointed receiver in bond of $100,000, and was directed to carry on the busi- ness, The assets are estimated at $300,000 and the liabilities at least $400,000. The New York store of the firm and also its branch in Brook- lyn were seized by the sheriff. One reason assigned tor the failure is the fact that competition between eastern and western publishers, particularly standard works, has been so brisk that the market has been wholly destroyed—so much so that books which two years ago sold for from $1 to $1.50 now bring from 25 to 50 cents. A lawyer familiar with the affairs of the firm states that Andrew McNally, of Hand, McNally & Co,, who is Mr. Belford's father-in-law, had been backing the firm for some time, and that his refusal to indorse the firm's paper prompted the First national bank to enter oe gment, ‘The attorney thought that if Mr. McNally had not discontinued his support the firm might have pulled through. ————-e-—___ An Ex-Priest Indicted for Rape. At Raleigh, N.C., yesterday, in the Wake superior court, criminal term, the grand jury returned 4 true bill against ex-Priest John J. Boyle for committing rape upon Geneva Whit- aker, a young girl of that city. Boyle will be arraigued for trial today aud the case will be set for hearing October 1. He has been in jail since Inst May. He has able counsel. One of the latter said that the defense will be consent, Public feeling is very high against Boyle, who so narrowly escaped lynching at the time he was arrested. The case attracts profound at- tention, as it is said that Boyle is the first Roman Catholic priest ever tried in America for this capital offense.

At Jacksonville, Fla., rain began to fall before dawn yesterday and continued without cessation all day, the air at times being almost white with sheets of rain, much resembling a snow squall. During the afternoon the storm was accompanied with sharp electrical shocks ofan intensity never before experienced in this part of the state, A few minutes befored o'clock a small black cloud was seen rolling rapidly toward the city from the southwest, through which lightning played at intervals, givmg it a decidedly greenish color, Its velocity increased as it approached the zenith and the wind became almost a hurricane. Suddenly the cloud burst and perfect deluge of water descended upon the city. The cloud was then partially dis- pelled ‘and disappeared toward the north- east. In less than ten minutes the streets were flooded with water, the sewers and surface drains being wholly inadequate to the task of carrying it off. The pavoment is of circular cypress blocks, and the water, forcing its way beneath them, made the surface of the streets undulate like the waves of the ocean. Teams and pedestrians broke through and the water spurted up into the air with great force Sur- face streams ran down Pine, Ocean and Hegan streets like a mill race, washing the paving blocks up into piles and, im some instances, carrying them down nearly to the wharves. Many stores were flooded and unpaved and the thoroughfares have been gullied out in many laces, so as to be temporarily impassable. The Sage will reach severul thousand dollars, Sergeant Townsend of the United State: nal station reports the rainfall the greatest on record here for a like duration. Up to noon it had reached only one-half inch, but at 5:30 it had increased ‘to four anda quarter inches, ‘The only record approaching it is that of Sep- tember 26, 1585, when, from the previous mid- night to 11 o'clock p.m.—twenty-three hours— the rainfall amounted to six and one-fifth inches on a level, Yesterday's average, however, is much in excess of that. A violent tornado passed over Pablo beach, sixteen miles from Jacksonville, on the Atlan- tic coast, at 6 o'clock last night. It shattered Beerer hall, an immense beach hotel. Prince O'Neill, thirteen years old, was carried, with a horse and buggy he was watching, 200 feet and killed. Ten minutes before the tornado swept over the place the operator in the office at Mur- ray hall was warned by wire trom Jacksonville of a cloudburst in that city, and at that very moment an electric charge on the wire burned @ gash in the operator’s hand, THE CITADEL IN PERIL. A Crack Five Feet Wide Extends Un- der Dufferin Terrace, Quebec. Dennis Berrigan, son of Michael Berrigan, who succumbed to wounds received in the re- cent land slide at Quebec, died yesterday, The remains of several of the victims recovered Sunday were buried yesterday. The funeral of Thomas Nolan,who was a member of the eighth battalion, was conducted with military honora, Photographers are busy taking views of the cliff sides in different places at the orders of Gen, Cameron and Maj. Mayne of the royal en- gimeers. These gentlemen, in company with several engineers and scientific men, have sur- veyed the terrace and adjoining rocks. They examined the newly-discovered crack, which runs 200 feet under the southeast end of Dufferin terrace, That fissure was three days ago hut a few inches wide and is now about 5 feet wide and some 50 feet deep. Gen. Cam- eroa expressed his opinion very clearly on the subject. Not only the houses on Champlain street ad- joining the heap of ruins, but all the houses on oth sides and on the whols length of the street, numbering about 900,should be deserted, not on account of immediate danger, but be- cause rocks are daily loosening and tumbling down, thus constituting permanent danger to passers-by. Miss Blaine’s Betrothal. Augusta Dispatch in the New York Herald, Thére is every reason to believe that the rumor of Miss Margaret Blaine’s betrothal to the famous musical composer, Mr. Walter J. Damrosch of New York, is genuine, aud that after the marriage of Emmons Blaine with Miss McCormick, and when the Blaines have re- turned to Washington the engagement will be formally announced. The report of the engage- ment was a surprise in Augusta, where little or nothing is known of the affairs of the Blaine family now that they are away, even among the few relatives of Mrs. Blaine, Secretary and Mrs, Blaine made a flying visit here one day the past week, but during their brief stay, so far ascan be ascertained, nothing was said by either about Miss Margaret beiug engaged. At Bar Harbor the fashionable world seems to have better knowledge of the matter, The attachment between the two is said to have been formed at least a year ago, when Miss Margaret was in New York on a visit. Mrs. Blaine knew of their regard for each other, and both she and her husband were not displeased, as the story runs, When they got settled in their Bar Harbor cottage last June Mr. Damroseb became their guest, at their in- vitation. Mrs, Blaine gave a charming luncheon in his honor, at which were present among the notable guests Baron and Baroness Rosen, Herr you Mumm of the German legation, Marryern Bey, the Turkish minister; Mr. Hansen of the Russian legation, besides the leading society people. Mr. Damrosch remained at the Blaine cottage two weeks or more, and during his stay ‘ing was done to make his visit an en- le one. Mr. Damrosch returned on the 4th instant, and this time he was accompanied by Mr, An- drew Carnegie, the Pennsylvania iron king. The two gentlemen took rooms at the Louis- burg and Mr. Damrosch became again a wel- come guest at the Blaine cottage. ‘The gossips have it that during this visit Mr. Damrosch offered his hand in marriage and it was ac- cepted, with the approval of Mr. and Mrs. rine, Miss Margaret Blaine is a most estimable and highly accomplished young lady of twenty-four summers. She received the most of her edu- cation in Paris. Like her younger sister, Miss Hattie, she was baptized in the Congregational church in this city, of which her parents are members, and is # constant attendant when here. She bears a striking resemblance to her father. She made her debut in Washington so- ciety in the winter of 1833 and since then has had many suitors, but it was not until she saw Mr. Damrosch that the kingdom of her heart was captured, se Hon. 8. 8.

Victory of the Republicans—Opinions of English and German Papers. Returns received in Paris from 560 electoral divisions show that 224 republicans have been elected and 159 members of the opposition. Among the republicans elected there are 16 moderates and 57 radicals, The opposition members elected include 86 royalists, 51 Bon- apartists and 22 Boulangists. Reballots will be necessary in 177 divisions. It is expected that 185 of these will return republicans, The re- publicans will probably also win the seate for the colonies. The new chamber will probably consist of 369 republicans and 201 members of the opposition. In official circles s govern- ment majority is considered assured. Although the majority will not be large, it will be more compact and more homogeneous than that in the last chamber. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. The Temps says that the political shades of the new chamber will be much the same as those of the old, although the many new men elected will add a fresh element to parlia- ment life, The republicans, it says, ought to use their victory to give a consistence to haaneeh iia election, which has hitherto been wanting. The Liberte says that tho chamber will not undergo a change of the balance of parties sufficient to have a serious influence upon the future of the republic. The oposition journals expect that the minor- ity will number 225, while the government papers claim that it will not exceed 200. BOULANGIST STRENGTH. Counting the destroyed voting papers the Boulangisté polled 300,000 votes in the Seine district, against their opponents’ 226,000; but the republican yote shows an increase of 97,066 compared with the vote in January. ‘The revisory eommittee will sit on Thursday next to decide whether Gen. Boulanger shail be declared elected or whether another ballot is necessary in Montmartre. The Boulangists polled 192,800 votes in Paris, against 244,070 recorded for Boulanger in Jan- wary. ‘The Temps says that the voting papers for Boulanger and Rochefort were burned. The matter will be inquired into upon the opening of the chamber of deputies, AN ENGLISH ESTIMATE. The Paris correspondent of the London Times says the elections in France yesterday resulted in a crushing defeat to the Boulang- ists, who returned only twenty-one members and whose entire representation in the new chamber after the reballoting will not exceed thirty-six members, The conservatives elected 131 members, and will get 30 more. The re- publicans returned 218, and will secure over 100 ‘more, making their total strength in the chamber between $25 and 360 against 220 or 280 representing the whole reactionary - Boulangist coalition. The success of the re- publicans and the defeat of the monarchy and Cwsarism is a happy fact. The result of the elections puts an end to the Boulangist-mon- archist conspiracy. GERMAN NEWSPAPERS ON THE ELECTION, The National Zeitung, commenting upon the French election, says: ‘It is fortunate for the republic that the exposition has been such a success. Combined with the wise policy of President Carnot and the energy of Premier ‘Tirard it has sharply combatted, Boulangism. Even if the left loses a number of seats it will not aed a serious danger to the republic, which, however, would be still better secured if the republican groups, in view of the danger from a monarchist-revisionist coalition, should forget their petty guabbles.” The Vossische Zeitung ‘congratulates the French republic upon an “undoubted victory within modest limits.” ‘The Tagblatt says: “The results do not make the situation clear. The position of the re public, notwithstanding the numerical advan- tage of the republican party, is as precarious ‘a8 it was before the election.” ITALIAN JOURNALS ON THE OUTCOME. At Rome the Tribuna and Capitale regard the result of the French elections as a victory for the republic. The Diritto remarks upon the number of citi- zens who abstained from voting, and says it considers the result indecisive. The Fanfulla and the Opinione hold that the elections show an increase of strength on the art of the Boulangists, aud the Osservatore omano says the result belies all hope of the abolition of ultiple candidature. STRANGE STORY FROM VIRGINIA, Alleged Intimidation of a Young Man, Who is Forced to Marry. A West Point(Va. )special to the Baltimore Sun says that there has been considerable talk there for some days about a very peculiar case. The indictment yesterday of Mr. Walter Ball and his son by the grand jury of King William county brings the whole matter before the pub- hie, It is alleged that last Wednesday morn- ing Mr. Ball and his son came over from their home in New Kent county, and as soon as they reached town went to the room of Mr. B, T. Barham, who is also from New Kent; that the men entered Barham’s room with drawn pis- tols; that Barham was still in bed; that the Balls told Barham that he must go with them and warned him that they would shoot him if he offered resistance; that they told him that he should marry Miss Ball, the daughter of Mr. Ball. This is alleged to have happened about 6 o'clock. Report says that Barham offered no resistance and did not remonstrate with them; that he accompanied them down to the train, and one guarded him while the other got tickets; that the party left on the 8 o'clock train without any one having any idea that Barham was under arrest; that the party proceeded to Washington, being joined in Richmond, some say, by the young lady. Upon reaching Wash- ington the couple were married, Itiseaid that Barham spoke not a word in answer to the questions put by the minister, and that he did not speak after the ceremony was over to the woman, and that he had been forced to marry, Barham returned to New Kent and reported the case to his father and then returned to West Point. Lavaare 4 Constable Spencer went over to New Kent with warrants for the Balls. He succeeded in bringing the father back. Mr. Bail appeared before the magistrate’s court and was bound over to keep the peace for six months in the sum of $200 and to appear ‘Thuraday. Yesterday both of the Balls were indicted. There is stot deal of talk gbout the case and it is hard to gather the truth. It is said that Barham promised to marry Miss Ball last spring, and then again in July, and that the marriage was postponed indefinitely, Miss Ball finally told her father all that had happened, Her father and brother started at once to find Barham. Mr. Ball and Mr, Bar- ham’s father live near each other and have long been very intimate friends. Young Barham is favorably/kuown and is said to ha m en- gaged to a young lady of West Point, 0+ He Preached About Mrs. Hamilton. ‘The first clergyman to utilize the Ray Hamil- ton scandal as a pulpit theme is Rev.

On one hand the gentleman high in the esteem of his associates, possessed of much of this world’s goods ar.d honored in counsel, On the other a young girl born in a western logging camp, with no education to speak of, who finds herself by fortuitous circumstances eeertng oe influence over this man by appeal- ing to the low part of bls nature, “Adwe deco. ging bim down she commits a crime and is now in the hands of the law.

A Rumpus at e Tournament Results in A Westminster special to the Baltimore American says that Deputy Sheriff Tyler went to Baltimore yesterday and brought back Wm. H. Green, who, with John and Wm. Marsh, assaulted Tyler and Police Officer Matthews of Westminster Saturday night. Saturday afternoon there was s tournament st West- minster, followed at night by a ball at the City hotel. Wm. Marsh, who was very drunk, asked Mrs. George Roop, « Dunkard, to dance with him. As Dunkards are opposed to danc- ing Mrs. Roop refused and Marsh became so abusive to her that Deputy Sheriff Tyler, who was present to preserve order, was obliged to remonstrate with him and ordered him to stop. Marsh then turned his abuse on Tyler and was ut out. He afterward renewed abuse of ler in the bar room, and struck at him, but Tyler warded off the blow. They hada tussle, in which Tyler came out best, and Marsh was in ejected. About 12 o'clock Tyler was on way home and Officer Mat- thews was with him. Marsh and Green sud- denly sprang from a dark place and confronted them, the former telling Tyler, with an oath, thathe would kill him. Another set-to fol- lowed, in which both officers were pretty roughly handled, but Matthews suffered most. Marsh was finally arrested and on the way to the magistrate’s office, tched Green for his father, John Marsh, to come to his assivt- ance. Green returned with the elder Marsh, but Officer Matthews fired his pistol, and they ran off. Green went to Baltimore and was ar- rested by Detective Mitchell. John Marsh was arrested at Westminister yesterday morning and taken before Justice G. W. Crapster, who released him in the sum of $500 bail for as- saulting and resisting Oficer Matthews in the discharge of his duty. Marsh is proprietor of the Marsh house at Westminister. The son, Wm, Marsh, was released in the same amount by Justice Crapster, the charge against him being assaulting Deputy Sheriff ‘Tyler, with intent to murder. The ‘ties will all be tried at the November term. ‘tthews is in a pretty bad way, FORE! iT Manicures are onthe increase in London. Since the princess of Wales set the fashion of having her manicure wait upon her at Marl- borough house the habit has been taken up by all who have any pretensions to being leaders of London high life.

The Augus- tinian order in America is represented by Kev. Fathers Locke, Stanton and TicEvoy. The pope has written to Cardinal Manning congratulating him upon the successful out- come of his efforts to effect a settlement cf the dock troubles in London.

From the New York Tribune, The sensation which was created abont four years agoin Jersey City by the elopement of the Rev. Father Butler of St. Bridget's Roman Catholic church with a Miss Brady was revived yesterday. A letter from Father Butler was read atall the masses in St, Mary's church. ‘The letter was addressed to Bishop Wigger, and in it Father Butler expresses his deep re- pentance for his transgression, and asks to be allowed to do penance. He asks to be sent to some monastery or other retreat where he can devote the rest of his life to doing penance. He does not expect to have his priestly func- tions restored, When the couple eloped they went to Read- ing, Pa., and were married there by a minister. From Reading they went to Chicago, where they lived for some time and a child was born. Butler was unable to earn a living, but his wife’s income from her father's estate sup- ported them in moderate comfort, About a year ago they returned to this part of the country, and ving grown repentant of the foolish ‘step they had taken they agreed to separate. Father Butler has been living for some months at a priest's house in Brooklya, His wife and child are living with some friends in New Jersey. According to the rules of the church the marriage cannot be recognized by the church authorities as valid, as a priest's vows probibit him from marrying and he can- not be released from his vows, Father Corrigan said yesterday that Mr. Butler had left the country and would remain away for a long time in en ylum in Europe. Fleas Shut the School. Public school No, 9, in Troy, N.Y., is near the river, and in the past{few days the building has been overrun with fleas. Where they came from no one knows and the appearance of myriads of the insects in other places in the city seems to indicate that Troy is being visited by a plague, When the school was {closed for the summer vacation, none of the lively little in- sects were in the building. About two weeks before scaool opened for the fall term the janitor found tho floors and walls covered with eas. There were millions of them and he declares he swept them up by pailfuls. There were fleas in the basement, fleas in the primary department, fleas everywhere. The school board had the school opened early in Sep- tember and then there was trouble, The scholars were in sore distress. They carried fleas home in their clothing and were repri- manded by their parents, Complaints were made to the board of education and efforts were made to exterminate the fleas, One bun- dred pounds of sulphur were burned. This did not drive away the fleas, but it did many of the pupils, Next, large quantities of carbolic acid were sprinkled through the building, and this made three of the teachers and a number ef the scholars sick, and they left. A few days ago the board of education ordered the school closed. ‘Twenty women were employed to scrub the building from top to bottom with soap and water. The school was opened again, and the school commissioners say that the fleas have been exterminated. Some of the scholars deny this. In the surrounding residences and shops thousands of insects are to be found. Many private dwellings in portions of the city far re- moved from the school rey } are infested an are A OX seinen e cay BG tas 44 mM “Worth aguinea.a box.
