EXCITING BALL PLAYING. ‘The Local Team Takes Another Game by Good Work. } If thissortof ball playing keeps on much longer every one will have to get a new cardinc apparatus.

In fact tie fat, wily old Spiders were band- somely walloped, and if they go weaving any and bere ibes’re likely to get caught in them themselves, Contrary to enstom the visitors started off in the lead and gained three runs before the home team scoréd. Then a pretty stern chase ensued. Step by step the local colts overhauled the selling platers from the buckere state, and in the stretch :irew away and won by a nose. The Clevelands secured one of their three runs by a triple, followed by asingle. But the other two they had no business with. Both | reached drst on balls, were helped along by a | sacrifice and scored by Ewing's single past | Sullivan. The locals bunched two hits in the sixth, | which, with a base on bails and Hoy’s long fly | to center, gave them the only run they didn't get oncrrors.

It's not often Hoy has au off day. the game again. Hor brought in two rans by hits. O'Rourke's hard hit to McKea, which the latter fumbled | long enovgh to let the captain reach first, won | the game. | Ewing made a great catch of Farrell's fly to | right center, which seemed good for a triple at ‘Jeast. When Buck came in the crowd cheered him and yelled, “Don’t do that again.” Umpire McQuade gave the visitors generally the worst of it on close decisions, which is right. Virtue, however, was safe inthe seventh | when declared out. O'Rourke wus safe in the eighth. Cincinnati won yesterday's game by one of | the greatest batting streaks ever witnessed in Boston. When the smoke cleared away in the Cincinnati's eighth inning nine runs had been earned on eleven hits, with a total of fifteen bases. Heavy batting won the game for Brooklyn at Eastern Park Yesterday afternoon. Stein was in excellent form and the St. Louis batsmen ouly hit bim at intervals, McNabb of Baltimore met his Waterloo yes- terday. Eleven hits, of which five were doubles, was the score against McNabb in the first three innings. This fusillade, along with a base on bails aud a couple of errors, resulted in nine runs. ‘The New Yorks feil down before Pittsburg yesterday because they played bad ball. They | made many errors, ran bases with poor judg- ment and could not hit Killen with any effect after the first inning.

A member of the Stock Comedy Company at the National Theater told a very characteristic story of Mr. Booth as indicative of his tender and helping nature. A young man had joined the company of Mr. Booth without the knowledge of his parents who were known to the eminent tragedian. He was playing subordinate parts aud the salary that he received was only sufficient to pay his necessary expenses. After a rather disastrous season—it was the winter of 1879— the company disbanded. The young aspirant for stage honors was in an uncom- fortable predicament as he was without funds and was too proud to fall back on the aid of his parents, While he was pondering over his position and wondering what on earth he woul Air.

Mr. Booth stepped to the cashier's desk and bad a check cashed. Asx they left Mr. Booth slipped something into the young man’s band and patting him on thé shoulder said: “Cheer up, my boy, better times are coming, and perhaps this will help you until you find comething to do. Don’t sa¥ anything to your parents about this.” When the money was examined it was found to contain $250. This is only one of many similar cases in which Mr. Booth is known to have put his hand in bis own pocket to aid a young member of his company who was in hard luck. “I have just ROBERT LINCOL: es "S$ PERIL.

Presently the gentleman stepped from the platform to a track and began walking upon it, entirely oblivious of his surroundings, Just at this moment an engine which had been getting water from a tank near at and began backing up the track. Mr. Booth, turning around, naw it only when it was within a few feet of his absent-minded companion, On the im- pulse of the moment, without attempting to rouse the man to a sense of his dauger— there was not time for this—Mr, Booth stepped forward and, clutching him by the arm, lifted him almost’ bodily upon the plat- form. So near was the engine that it struck the man’s heels as they left the track. The rescued gentleman was so overcome when he danger that he could only bow his thanks and give his hand to his preserver. It happened that Mr. Ford, in whose theater at Washington Prosident Lincoln was assassinated by Mr. Booth’s brother, witnessed the scene de- above.

A Colored Man's Strange Suspicions About ia Brother's Death. A portion of the colored population of that part of Hillsdale in the shadow of tho insine asylum are greatly agitated over the circum- stances attending the death of the husband of iazie Brace, who was buriel day before | terday.

How Mr. Quick Put a Robber to Flight— Other Notes of Interest. Correspondence of The Evenins Star. Faris Cuvncu, Va., June 7, 1893.

A Majority of the Next Congress Favors Sach Action. RESULT OF THE TELEGRAPHIC INTERVIEWS WITH, CONGRESSMEN ON THREE IMPORTANT SUB- JECTS—DIVIDED OPINIONS ON IXCOME TAX AND STATE BANK TAX—THE SHERMAN LAW DENOUNCED. The New York World has interviewed nearly all the members of Congress by telegraph on the following questions: 1. Do you, with present information, favor the repeal of the Sherman silver law? 2. Do you favor an income tax? 3 Do you favor the repeal of the state bank tax? The World in reporting their answers says: “Many of the answers deviate so far from the plain ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and involve so many qualif- | cations that no tabular statement would fairly represeut the opinions they express. The im- | portant facts shown are that, to the first ques- tion, ‘Do you, with your present information, | | favor the repeul of ‘the Snerman silver saw? ‘There are eighty-six Representatives who say, practically. ‘yes,’ while only 18 say ‘no.’ Of the rest many, who qualify their answer so | strongly that they cannot fairly be placed in the | afirmative column, show plainly that their in- ns are iu favor of a repeal. The senti- ment of the lower house on that question seems to be overwhelming. “The World had already polled the Senate on the silver bill and on March 6 last printed a table showing that that body stood for repeal, ; against repeal, 28; non-committal, 16. It will be noticed ‘that several who were non- committal then are now in favor of repeal. ‘There seems to be no doubt that nearly two- thirds of the Senate will vote that way. The newer question of the income tax develops an interesting situation. Many who speak frecly as to the Sherman bill evade or ignore this question, but forty-five say squarely that they favor it and forty-two that they donot. South- ern and western Congressmen are the most numerous advocates of such a tax. ~-On the state bank tax question opinion is almost as onesided asin regard to the Sherman bill. Many dodge it entirely, but sixty say positively that they are against repealing the tax, while only thirty favor the repeal.” sae as EDWIN BOOTH’S WILL.

Senator Sherman Sends a Letter to the Con- vention Bidding Them to Stick to the Old Lines. After Tue Sran's report of the Ohio repub- lican convention ciosed yesterday g letter was read from Senator Sherman, now in this city. Senator Sherman discussed the Ohio situation, enlogized the republican party and asserted that the democratic party relies upon tempo- rary discontent, the slumbering apimosities of the rebeilion and the corrupt agencies of the city of New York for its success. He concluded: “Under these circumstances it should be the pride and glory of the republican party in Ohio to tuke the lead in our coming election to revive the latent energy and enthusiasm of the olden | times, to bury out of sight all the petty divis- ions and dissensions insepafable from political strife, an‘l, with courage and hope, to advance our national honor, as in 1863, with our princi- ples emblazoned on every fold, with pride in the past and with confidence that the patriotic people of the United States will rally to our support wherever a free ballot and a fair count is permitted by the ruling powers of the demo- cratic party.

A large mber of resolutions on the pension, tariff | end currency questions were handed in for con- | sideration. | Judge Lawrence, in his own bebalf, submitted | the following plank: | r of gold and silver coin on a parity as legal tender money. To this end we favor a law which shall Sx a just ratio between gold and silver for coinage and that shall im- pose larger duties on commodities imported from countries in which such coinage shall not | be received on a parity than on those im; from countries where it shall be so received.” The convention then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. * | In ————— APPRAISER COOPEK’S DENIAL, He Contradicts the Testimony of Corbett and Bassett. ‘The commission to investigate the New York custom house reassembled yesterday afternoon when Appraiser Cooper was examined.

He told me later that he would answer the question if the ‘present time’ was substituted.” ‘The statements of Mr. Corbett about the let- ters getting into the hands of the Goods Chronicle reporter by his having furnished a copy of one were read. Witness said that they were not true, Witness denied that he had instructed Mr. Bassett, his private secretary, to let Mr. Cor- bett see any of the letters.
