And the World’s Championship is Again in Doubt. ‘The winners of the league pennant braced up Just in time yesterday and by defeating their brethren who won the association flag, made the ovtcome of the world’s championship series @ little more doubtful. The score was 11 to 3, now the Bridegrooms have won 3 games to by the Giants. Crane and Brown,and Caruth- @rs, Clark and Bushong were the batteries, the first two innings, during which side scored, the Giants had the game all their own way, making enough rans in the third inning to win the game. Four more in the fifth made the case absolutely hopeless for Brooklyn, who could earn but one run, while New York earned 7. The Giant's made 12 hits and two errors and the Bridegrooms 8 hits and @ errors, The game, which was played in Brooklyn, was witnessed by about 2,000 RULING WASHINGTON OUT. The Pittsburg players deny that the brother- hood does not intend to locate a club there. They say that Washington and Indianapolis, not being base ball cities, will be discarded for Buffalo and Brooklyn, and that White and Rowe will play in the former place and Glass- cock in Pittsburg.

The wagon is brilliantly painted. Jimmie’s name ia big letters illuminates the sides. He says that several of his friends have not had any laundering done for months, wait- for him to start into the business. lohn Morrill reports that he has met with itifying success in working up the brother- food business in the Hub. Ho has been offered several first-class positions, but has declined them all to give his entire time to the brother- hood’s interests. It wes an easy matter to get the old dissatistied stockholders interested, for it would give them a chance to get even with the three men who forced them out of the elub. Morrill had full charge of the business atthat end, even to finding grounds, and selected two sites, one in south Boston, not far from the New England depot, and the other not far from the present ground on Huntington avenue.— Philadelphia Press. ‘The Scorer’s association will this fall urge the league and association to so amend their constitutions as to require each club to sign its official scorer to a contract and have the same approved like player's contracts by the secre- of the two organizations. This is aimed at the Chicago club, whose official scorer is a myth, so to speak, and the scorers elsewhere think he is showing too much favoritism to the players of that team. Some one has even hinted that this position is filled by Mrs. Adrian C. Anson. ————— ROCKVILLE MATTERS. ‘New Enterprises—Court News—Death of a Well-Known Lady. Correspondence of Tux EVENING STAR.

Testimony Taken Yesterday Showing the Motive of the Assassins. State's Attorney Longenecker spoke for two hours in his opening address at the Cronin trial yesterday. There was no attempt at oratory. He confined himself to a plain, succinct state- ment of the evidence he had collected and would present to the jury. He showed how the Clan-na-Gael had been diverted from its clean-handed purpose to aid Ireland to the adoption of the dynamite policy, and how Dr, Cronin had by opposing enraged the advocates of violence. The whole conspiracy was out- lined, showing how the inner circle voted Cronin’s death, how Coughlin drove off with the doctor, how he entered the Carlson cottage, how Burke and Kunze were seen there, and how the bloody foot prints, the bloody key and the abandoned trunk were found. ¢ When Judge Longenecker sat down the law- yers for the defense arose and announced that they would postpone their replies until the end of the trial. The work of examining witnesses was then begun, the examination for the state being conducted by Mr. Tugham and that of the de- fense by Mr. Forrest. The prosecution at once set out to prove the us delicti, it havi been asserted that the defense would conten that the body dragged from the catch basin had not been satisfactorily identified as that of Dr. Cronin. Ex-Capt. Francisco Villiers, Jos. C. O'Keefe. Cronin’s tailor, and Reporter James. P. Holland were positive that the body was that of Dr. Cronin. Stephen Connoly identified the body by the front teeth, Maurice Morris by the Ag- nus Die and Joseph O'Byrne by the broken finger of the right hand. James E. Roland, cashier in a coal dealer's office and an associate of Dr. Cronin in various secret societies, also gave testimony as to the identity of the body. Lawyer Forrest for the defense elicited from Boland, on cross exami- nation, the fact that, contrary to general be- lief, Cronin’s office was so situated that a view into its window could not be obtamed trom the Clark street flat supposed to have been hired by the accused, Cronin’s office not front- ing on Clark street but being in the rear of the building and facing on an alley. During Judge Longenecker’s attack on the Clan-na-Gael triangle Mr. Forrest objecteda second time to his statements as inadmissible in advance of proof, whereupon Judge Mc- Conneli said that he did not know what would be proved, but warned the state's attorney that he was making these statements at his peril. Judge Longenecker rephed that he would prove what he had said, and he accepted the respon- sibility. ——_—_-+ee_______ UNDER THE NORTH STAR. The International Tourists Are in the Twin Cities. The international American excursion train rolled into the St. Paul railroad station at 10:30 yesterday morning. At Red Wing, about forty miles from St. Paul, the local reception com- mittee boarded the train. The excursionists showed the liveliest interest in the character of the country through which their train was run- ning. For miles they skirted the clear waters of the upper Mississippi, and noted with sur- prise how complete was the change in a few short hours from the prairie country of Illinois to the stern but picturesque beauty of the upper Mississippi valley. At ashort distance fromP®t. Paul the Father of Waters was crossed for the irst time, and in a few minutes the party alighted at the station. They were placed in carriages and cenveyed to the site for the Young Men's Christian association building. It was ex- pected that Delegate Studebaker would lay the corner-stone of this structure, but a letter from him was read regretting his inability to attend the ceremony. Ex-Senator 8. J. R. McMillan delivered an address. Signor Paraza of Venezuela spoke for the South and Central American delegates present, The delegates were next driven to the city hall, where they were formally welcomed to the city and state. A welcome address was made by the chairman of the reception committee, who called attention to the presence of the last ter- ritorial, the first state and the present govern- ors, state officials and United States Senators; of pioneers in the history of civilization in the northwest, and inthe name of all welcomed the visitors. After luncheon at the residence of Gov. W. R. Merriam the delegates were driven around the city, visiting Summit avenue, one of the fintst drives in the country, and the residence parts of the city, as well as taking a look at the in- dustries, In the evening a big reception was held at the Ryan hotel, the banquet having been abandoned at the request of the State depart- ment, A dispatch from the City of Mexico says: Delegate Flint’s speech at the Pan-American banquet in Chicago made a very favorable im- pression there. he deliberations of the Pan- American congress are looked forward to with great interest. ae Effect of a Single Vote. From the Indianapolis Sentinel. “Forty years ago Col. Seaton, then mayor of the city of Washington, as was his custom, gave alarge dinner party, at which I was present. In the course of the entertainment the import- ance of one vote and its consequences and good results was, among other things, the subject of conversation. and Gov. Corwin (then United States Senator) narrated in his inimitable man- ner the following, to show, as he said, the bad results as weil as the importance of one vote, and how a pig, from whom the devil had not been cast out, nearly in his estimation ruined the country, to wit: ‘In the spring of 1811, at the annual election in Rhode Island, in one of the towns or precincts the voting between the federal and republican (or democratic, peace or war) parties had been for years very close. not more than a majority of one or two votes. The polls closed at 6 o'clock, and a federal farmer living a mile or so distant from the vot- ing place, having been busy all day, allowed him- self just barely time to reach the polls im the evening. He hurriedly crossed his fields on foot and reaching his last or division fence found oue of his valuable pigs fast between the planks and stopped to get it out, which he found more difficult than he expected, but he worked with all his strength to pull the pig out and fail- ing in that tried to pry off a plank from the fence, which, after some time, he succeeded in doing, and then started on a run for the voting place. Just as he got within 100 feet of it the town clock struck 6 and the polls closed with- out his vote. The result was that a democrat or war representative from that town was elected by one vote, When the general as- sembly met a few weeks afterward a democratic or war United States Senator was chosen on joint ballot by one majority. In 1812 the dec- aration of war with England was carried in the United States Senate by one vote. Gen. Jack- son was nominated as a major general and con- firmed by one vote January 8, 1815. He co manded the army at the battle of New Orleans, gained a great victory, became a popular mili- tary hero, and as his reward was elected and re-elected President of the United States, turned all the whigs out of office, removed the deposits. vetoed the national bank bil), and played the devil generally; and all because that walt away up in Rh Island got fast in a fence.” She Will Comply. By a lucky stroke of fortune William For- noff, a painter employed in the Buffalo fire department, is likely to become one of Buffalo's millionaires. About two months Mrs. Sarah Harvey Wilbour of Orange, Xo. died and left a fortune of 3,000,000 to her niece, Miss Sarah Harvey of Newport, R.L, believing that young lady to be her only surviving relative. Fornoff saw the itch announcing these facts and began a correspondence with Miss Harvey, stating that he was her cousin.

Sold on Easy Terms, THE EVENING STAR ts a PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WEEK. It prints ALL THK NEWS, Local, Domestic and LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classce of news, but especially so in regard te Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. itis therefore able to print each day a full report of every transaction of public ine terest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. —oe:—— By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL Dis- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. . —0:—_ Equally does THE STAR lead all ite contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print at once a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa» cific Oceans. —0:— @ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 —:0:— THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRILERS and MORE THAN HIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It ts de- lvered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE AY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSU- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPESS IN THE CITY. —:o: — In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORS TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —0:—— > The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cire culation of the paper was: In 1885. Equally significant is the showing tn regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication efits acknowledged value as a medium of publicity. Thenumber of NEW AD- VERTISEMENTS printed ip the col- umns of The Star during the Gret six months of the years named was as fel- lows: Em 188B.......00000-20e000+--19, 828 1886........cc0ereeeeee--- 22,590 secesccesceseses BF, 516 ereeseree nese 87 BOS
