The deciding game of the series of three, between the Randallites and the Quidnuncs, was played yesterday afternoon on the old base ball grounds, and resulted in a crushing deteat for the former by thirty-tive runs, and had it not been for a most glaringly absurd decision, in the case of Mr. G. L. Roberts (one of the best bats in the country), who seemed thoroughly set, on this occasion, the defeat would have been more ‘“crushing” still. It seemed to be a “red letter day” for the Quidnuncs. Magnificently as the ball was ‘‘trundled” (to use a Pickwlickian term) by the brothers Vaughan and Mr, McPher- 800, the Quidnuncs, to a man, resisted their attacks with marked success. For the win- ning side, the grand play of Messrs, Pur- don and W. Roberts, who tied each other with a score of fourteen apiece; as also the cautious aggregation, by Mr. Taaffe, of eleven, are specially worthy of notice, while the bowling of Mr. R, Shakeshaft (who atill kueps up to his usual form) proved much for the Randallites, The marked improve- ment of the play, on both sides, has decided tlio Omaha Cricket club in challenging some crack western teams, among whom Lincoin will be given the proference.

NEw York, August 13.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bex.|—The World’s Washing- ton special says: A statement in detail of the affairs of the Pacific railroads is being prevared by Major Reddington, with a view of prosecution, both criminal and civil, of the directors of these companies, It is a well known fact that the government and the Central and Union Pacitic roads have been outrageously plundered by the direc- tors of these roads out of about $75,000,000, It is also a fact that all this money could be recovered provided the government took proper action, and it Is now 1ntimated that it intends doing so, and when the prover time arrives Major Reddington will produce the name of the man who acted as paymaster for Huntington, and his agent, Sherrell, for ser- vices performed in ‘Washington, or, in other words, in ‘%ex- plaining -~ ¢ members their duty regarding the Pacl raods.” The testimony of Collss Huntington before the Pacitic railroad cominission in New York last April, in the opinion of officials ot the department of justice, was sufficient to war- rant the indictiment of Huntington and his associates for bribery, by the grand jury ot this district, It 13 legrned on good authority that steps were taken by the department early in May to indict lhm!nuimn. but that the inatter was postponed at ths request of the Pacific railroad eommission.kx-governor Patteson, chairman of the commission, wrote to the attorney general asking that noaction should be taken by the government looking to the indictment of any of the officials of the Central and Unlon Paeific rallroad syndi- cate until the commissionhas completed their Iaborsand submitted tHeir report. Governor Patteson tlloufht, it js sald, that the indict- ment of Huntl nfimn or any of his associates pending their Investigation would com- licate the matter and prevent he commission from obtaining much valuable information. Upon the receipt of Governor Patteson’s request the department suspended operations looking to the indict- ment of Huntington and itis said no fur- ther steps \ill be taken in the matter until the commission have made thelr report. From the course adopted by Stanford and Crocker {n their recent examination by the commission 1n San Francisco, it s thought they have dropped to Governor Patteson’s scneme, as they refused to answer nearly every leading ‘question. 'The law under which Huntington and his partners could be Indicted by the grand iury of the district is based on the act of congress passed February 26, 1863, relating to bribery of members of congress and other public oficials. Three yoars imprisonment and a fine not exceed- ng three iimes the amountof the bribe Is the limit of punishment for each offense, The indlications are that the administration will push the prosecution. ———— Something About the Siamese. WasniGToy, August 13.—|Special to the BiE.|—The royal party of Siamese that re- cently visited this city has made an unusu- ally favorable impression upon those who have met its members, the Intelligence and polite bearing of whom have caused the 1n- ference that progress in the land of the white elephant Is keeping pace with that of lands supposed to be more enlightened. An offi- cial of the state department, commentingz on this view of the subject, sald: ‘It 19 by tri- fles that we can often infer matters of im- portance, and in eomparing the representa- tives of Siam that have just left us with those who were here three years ago, and eonsider- Ing them both as _representative Siamese, of which 1 have no doubt, I should say that that country has advanced at least thirty years in this short time in the substitution of European manners in place of those they re- ceived from their fathers. Perhaps every one would not call this ‘advancement,” but that 18 a matter of opinion, [ had the pleasure, in an ofticial way, of dining with the em- bassy here three years ago and also with the visitors who left us last week. The first din- ner, I remember, was rather a stitf aifair for me. Most of the company were attired in the native costume of Siam and spoke in their own tongue. On the table were dishes of rice and other food especially ordered, with which the visitors were ac- quainted home. There were a good many little incidents at the table which. to one whose ideas or pollteness are formed by the etiquette of any civilized coun- try, would have appeared decidedly crude, to say the least, Fineers, for instance, played a part usually taken by knives and forks. My dinner with the representatives of Siam showed that these things had pi a Ever{ one spoke English, and most of th fluently. ‘The conduotot all showed a scru- pulous regard for the miceties of etiquette, I should have thought I dined with the most fastidions Frenchni _from their man- ners. The dinner ' wi the ordinary one served by thas Arlington, with no ‘speclal dishes’ to remind me of my for- nlin hosts, in this eanneetion there is one thing that will be interesting 0 those who bewall the tendency of some spoiled and shallow sons of Amerlca tg ape Enclish man- ners. Though I sald juy Nosts were as fas- tidious as Frenchmen, vet they are as ‘Eng- lish’ as a Pennsylvania avenue dude.

DEAD AND WOUNDED Evidence Adduced to Show That Fel- low-Passengers Robbed the Vie- *ims---Inquest Resumed and Adjournment Taken. THE Removing the Dead and Wounded, Crarsworti, 1ll, August 13.—(Special Telegram to the Beg. |—Of the seven victims of the terrible tragedy of Wednesday now remaining {n the town hall here four were reported as progressing favorably this morn- ing. Mrs. 8. M. Clatk of Rushtown, 0., and Mr. Walter of Cottage, N. Y., wero the only ones that appear to be making no progress. There are some few wounded, however, who are scattered about through private resi- dences in the neighborhood, about whom it is tmpossible to obtaln any information, Some of the physiclans enjoyed a well-earned repose last night, while others went on to Peoria with the wounded, who wero con- veyed there from this town and Piper City last evening, The patients at the town hall were therefore left almost entirely in charge of relatives and volunteer nurses. The visi- ble results of the fearful catastrophe of the 10th have now to a great extent passed away, but to the people of Chatsworth, Peoria, Bloomington and many of the neighboring towns and cities it 1s des- tined to be associated with mournful memo- ries. Although up to the present the dead, Including the body recovered late last night, number not more than seventy-seven, thero 13 reasonable room for the belief that there have been deaths resuiting from the tragedy that may never come to light. Neither can the full list of the wounded be presented to the public, for scores whose injuries were slight enough to permit of it took trains at Chatsworth or Piper City at their first oppor- tunity and went home at once. The official ist of wounded who have been cared for here and in Piper City does not at present num- ber one huhdred victims, WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. For years to come the stories and Incidents connected with the terrible disaster which has made the names of Chatsworth and Piper City forever historical will form a sub- ject for fireside zossip among the citizens of this rural district. ‘There is hardly a man or woman in Chatsworth who cannot tell strange tales of sights witnessed in connee- tion with this awful catastrophe. As stated yesterday, one of the worst attending cir- cumstances of the accident was the plunder- ing of the dead and wounded. Just how far this was carrled on no one will ever know. And shere were other horrible features of the awful calamity which will probably never be known. CONDITION OF THE WOUNDED. Many of the wounded victims are being carried to Peoria for hospital treatment. Later in the day the condition of the wounded in the town hall here had changed considerably for the worse. Mortification had set in in most of the cases, and the phy- sicians fear that of the seven only two can recover. These are Mrs. Hazen and her sis- ter, Miss Alter, both of Iowa. Adam Schaumber, of Peoria, and Young Walters, of Cottage, N. Y., are not expected to live over a week. H, P. Bond’s state s equally precarious, while for Miss Clark, of Ohio, there is absolutely no hope. ROBBED BY FELLOW-PASSENGERS, In regard to the robberies, Mr. Cook, who is on the coroner’s jury, says he saw several men taking valuables and money from the victims, but he declares it was the work of feilow-passengers and not of the residents of the neighborhood. In every instance where they were interfered with in their nefarious work they protested they were relatives of the dead or wounded, as the case might be. But if there are dark sides to the story there are mapy bright ones, and the brightest of all was the charity of the citizens of Chats- worth and Piper City. Between the two peoples there was a generous rivalry as to who could do most for the relief of suffering humanity. Fromthefollowing summary the grand total of victims of the wreck will be seen: Total number of deaths up to to-day, according to official returns, 76; wounded seriously and treated for wounds, 120% wounded slightly and gone home, 150: grand total of killed, wounded and injured, 355. THE INQUEST RESUMED, At 9 o’clock this morning the inquest was resumed, Counsel J. A. Stevens, of Feoria, being present to wateh proceedings in behalt of the railroad company. Only one witness was examined when Coroner Long was noti- fied that his presence was required at Pon- tiac, and an adjournment was taken uutil 1:30 o’clock Tuesday. The evidence of the single witness, W. T. Messter, a grain dealer of this place, was contined to the facts al- ready published containing the manner n which the news of the wreck reached Chats- worth and the prompt action of the citizens in responding to the call for relief. Next week the jury will probably take evidence regarding the condition uf the roads, and the railroad ofticials will be asked to enlighten the body as to why the train could not have been run in two sections. It is conceded that it this had been done the catastrophe would have probably been avoided, or at least been far less fatal'in its results. THE BECTION BOS8 CONTRADICTED, CnicAGo, August 13.—The Inter Ocean’s Forest, 111, special says: Your correspond- ent has found A number of men at Piper City who voi!th'«li‘ contradict the testimony of Timothy Coughlin, the section boss, that he and his gang put vut all the fires along the track before they left their work Wednes- day evening. These men were of a part; which went from Piper City to the wrecl on a hand-car. They say as thev passed along the track east of the wreck they saw a fire burning in the hedges and grassall tne way along.” The best evidence obtainable Is that the tire built by the section hands was within 100 rods of the burned bridge when it was left. Thereisa general sentimentamong the residents here that the section men wera largely to blame, Very few people, except the officials of the road, give any credence to the incendiary theory., There was not nearly as much robbing at the wreck as at first sup- posed. Things thought to have been stolen are being found among the debris as itis cleared away. SUSIE BALL IS SAFF. & SpRINGFIELD, LIL, August 13.—Miss Susie Ball, reported among those killed at the Chatsworth wreck, was in this city to day, aitending the funeral of Mrs. W, 1. Ball, of Peoria, and Miss Mamie Powers, of this city. The two are sisters and both were killed. Miss Ball, a sister of Mrs, Bail's husband, was with them, but escaped. Miss Powers is the probably person alluded toin the re- ports as Miss Hall. Another Death. CHICAGO, August 13.—Mrs. Peter Valen- tine, of Peoria, died at Piper City at noon. She was the mother of five children. Fell 1000 Feet Without Injury.

Things to Remember—A Saummer Poem Disposed of. Detroit Free Press: “‘Dar’ am sartin things I should like you to remember," said DBrother Gardner as State Rights Smnth finally got over his fit of coughing and the hall became quiet, ‘‘In de fust place de man who lies will knock a man down far callin’ him a har jist as soon as a man who tells de troof. In de nex' place, if a man says you lie, an' you doan’ lie, how do you prove you doan' by hitting him? “‘What men lack in argyment dey will try to make up in ridicule or bulldozin’. “When you h'ar of a pusson wid a confidenshul friend you ‘'hev found somebody to be sorry fur. “A man may hev your respect an’ ad- miration for half a century on_ general principles, an’ yit lose all in half a day y refusin’ to indorse your bank note, ‘‘Moas’ ebery man has his weak side, an’ moas’ of us, except de drunkard ar’ hypocrites.

All you hev to dois to be a cheerful leader. Your enemies will npfiear when you stop lendin’ an’ begin to borrow. Let us now take up de reg’'lar purdeedin’s an’ purceed to bizness.”” “NEBBER DONE IT.” A communication from the Hon. Stephen Clingstone, of Coffeeville, Miss., stated that the colored people of that neighborhood had been given to under- stand that Brother Gardner had referred to them in a general way as: *A horde of coous whose chiefaim in life was to steal bacon, whose honesty couid be bought with a chicken, and whose mor- ality could not be found with a spy- glass.”” An indignation meeting had cen called, and unless the Lime Kiln club repudiated the sentiment, some- thing would bo heard to drop with the thuddiest kind of a thud. “De ole sayin’ dat nobodyshould shoot till lus gun goes off applies'to dis case,” said the president. “Not a word agin de cull’d popushun of Coffeeville has eber bin uttered in dis hall, an’ de people has excited derselves widout reason.” REFERRED. The secretary then announced the fol- lowing, from Rock Lane, Ind.: BroTuer GARpNER—Having been a close observer of the modus operandi and the goodus producus of ‘the Lime Kiln club, [ thought I would write and ask the president if he would bestow a favor on stained hu- manity by establishing a branch club at this place at the next legal meeting. We have many dark characters heve and a club could be used to an advantage in this vicinity. Should yon condescend to favor us by es- tablishing a club here, would like it to be known as theCorn Cob elub, and to receive $7 from you to pay advance rent ona stable to be used as oursanctuin, and get some can- dies, ete., ete., ele. Rock Lane is a pretty town for a club to spend vacatlon in, and after wo become established you Detroiters are cordlally Invited to pickic at this place. @ Hoping that you will pay marked attention to this, and that we be allowed to make our own by-laws, 1 remain yours truly, R. M. STOKES. The communication was referred to the committe on applications, with instruc- tions to use great care in investigating, as it hus been reported in Indianapolis papers that no persen for six miles around ock Lane cun raise a watermelon or a chicken. GIVEN A HINT, The secretary announcod that he was in receipt of u handbill trom Towanda, N. Y., showing that Charles Stewart, Sam Smith, Douglas Wilson, Nate Young, Jerry Jeeda and other honorary members of the Lime Kiln club were holding public debates on the time-worn chestnut: ~*Which is the mother of the chicken, the hen that lays the egg or the hen which hatches it?"” & “De seckretary will compose an’ for’d a letter of caushun to de pussons named, smd the president. ‘‘When a member of dis club permits his giant intelleck to grapple wid such problems as dat he am on de road leadin' either to the poo’ house or de fool asyium.’’ HE OBJECTED. i Elder Fenstock arose to object. Time was when the colored man of this coun- try might be connected with the chicken, but that day had long since goneby. He looked upon the poem as an insult leveled at the colored race, Why should a colored man be represented as stealing up an alley any more than a white man? And, above all, what member of the Lime-Kiln club could sit still under the title of “coon?” He would move that the poem be scosnfully rejected. Samuel Shinn supported the motion. It made his blood boil to be thus openly nsulted in his own house, as it were. OVERRULED. “I shall rule de moshun as outer order,” calmly announced the president. ‘‘So fur as my observashun extends, de cull’d man ar’ just as tightlv connected wid chicken at de present time as eber befo’. Ican't 'arn dat anybody has changed his taste from chickyn to codfishf he could help it. Asto de title of ‘coon,’ dar am no need of gittin’ up on our high horse about it. We can call de white folks foxes or rabbits if we want to. It doan’ make us any blacher, nor shorten up our feet onec bi As I said, T shall oberrule de moshun NOT SUSTAINED, 3 “1 appeal from dat decishun,” promptly announced Penstock. “Werry well, sah. 1 will put de moshum’fur an appeal.” It was put, and received only two yotes. [ will now put our moshun to frow de poem out.” It was put, and Penstock alone voted for it. i “Elder Penstock,” said the president, as the proceedings were finished, “dis meetin’ am now gwine to adjourn. | want you to walk part way home wid me. 1 want to convince you of de error of your ways,”" Penstock didn't do it. _As soon as the meeting broke up he seized his hat and slid down stairs aad mto Blossom alley like a man who had secn a ghost. e Many good sportsmen shoot with both eyes open, and now the British volunte: ure advised to do the same. THE INDICTMENT DEFERRED Proceedings Aguinst Huntington Postponed By the Department of Juatics. REASONS GOOD AND SUFFICIENT A DPlundering Private Secretary Causes Strained Relations Be- tween Randall and Whitneyeee Other National Capital News, A Halt Ordered, WasHiNGTON, August 13.—{Special Tele gram to the H ]=The New York World has a dispateh to-day to the effect that steps had been taken In the interior departinent to indict under the laws of this district, Mr, G P. Huntington, on the basis of his testimony given in Now York City to the Pacilic rail- road commission. The special stated that such steps were taken last May, but that ex-Governor Pattison, chairman of the Pacitic commission, wrote to the attorney general, asking that no action should be taken by the government looking to the Indictment of any of the ofticials of the Central and Union Pacific railroad syn- dieate until the commission had completed their labors and submisted their revort, and that Governor Pattison thought that the indictment of Huntington or any of his associates pending their Investigation would complicate matters and prevent the commis- sion from obtaining valuabtle testimony. It is further stated In the special that upon the receipt of Governor Pattison’s request the department suspended operations. Acting Attorney General Jenks, after reading the World’s speclal, said that he had no knowledge of any such plan or pro- Ject having been contemplated by the de- partment. He added: “I cannot say that the statement is not true, as I have only been In charge since the attorney eeneral’s de- parture, but nothing of the kind has coma to my knowledge, officially or —un- officlally,” General = Jenks, ° though not prepared to deny the truth of the special, in- timated quite clearly that he did not credit it, In the first place he scemed to think that it the inquiry developed a basis for criminal proceedings the latter would be deferred until the commission should complete its in- vestigation ; that any step before that would be premature. As the commission was an- thorized to report to congress he did not believe that Governor Pattison would write any such lettor as that deseribed to the department of justice. With regard to the question of law and the power to indict under it, General Jenks said he could not say anything, as it weuld not be proper for him to give unofliclally an interpretation or con- struction of the law. A Private Becretary’'s Blunder. W ASHINGTON, August 13.—[Special to the BEE.]—A good story has just come to t| surface involving Secretary Whitney and t| family of Congressman Randall. 1t seems that when Miss Randall was married last winter to Mr. C. C. Lancaster, the president of the Maryland Democratic club, of Wash- iogton, and a gentleman well known throughout Maryland, Secretary and Mrs. Whituey raceived invitations to the wed- ding. The secretary was unableto attend, and Mrs. Whitney was not visiting at that time. The secretary, however, thought he could best discharge his duty by sending Miss Randall a handsome present. Her father and the seeretary had always been good friends, althoukh the former, as chair« man of the appropriation committee, had blocked many scheimes for the increase of our belittled and infantile navy. This op- position, however, waa not sufficiently strong to break down the barriers of friendship between the two men, and Mr. Randall had received good-sized slices of govern- ment pie in the way of appointments of his friends or political henchmen to positions in the civjl establishments of the naval service. Matters went along swimmingly until the Lancaster-Randall wedding, when an incl- dent occurred greatly straining the relations of Mr. Wn\lm? and Mr, Randall, Mr. Whit. ney received his invitation to the Weildlm{. and, as is his usual custom in personal mat. ters, called in his private secretary, Mr. Hanna, and asked him to attend to the mat. ter of selecting a wedding present. He gave Hanna a good sized check and left the selecs tion in his hands. The latter visited every jewelry store in town, and although he isa married man and has the reputation of belnz au fait in matters of this kind he was at his wit's end to know what to select for the fair young bride. After cogitating over the mat. ter for four days he thought it would be an excellent idea to call on Miss Randall, ex- rlnln his predicament in which the secretary had placed him and offer her the check asa wedding gift. He could not possibly have adopted a worse plan, and he found himself thoroughly decelved. Miss Randall was not at home, and he asked for her mothor, who rosently appeared, wonderlng who Mr. ,Xlunnn was. Stating his errand before many moments had elapsed, he found who Mrs. Randall was. Hanna was toru in a thousand shreds. ‘To think of his daring to thus insult a Randall. And secretary Whitney, how could he dare to offer money to her daughter? “No, sir; it Secretary and Mrs. Whitney could not find time to select a preseut, they could keep their money,” quoth Mrs. Ran- dall, *The invitation was uot sent, sir, with the expectation of receiving a present, and we don’t want a presentselected by filtration through his secretary. You can tell Whitney he has got hold of the wrong fa) ily, sir, and we spurn his check.” With th she was about to leave, when Mr. Randal hearing the conversation, came down stairs, The matter was axrlmnml by Habna, who bezzed Mrs. Randall not to place the blame on Mr. Whitney, and assuming itall himself. He further asked, as a matter of alr-‘:mlectlun. that Mrs. Randall should not “give him away" to the secretary, as 1t would go hard with him (Hanna), and a great public sen- sation would ensue, After much tribulation abject apologies and persuasive coaxing, Mr, Randall finally consented to accept a pres- ent for his daughter selected by Mr. Hanna, and thus avoid the publicity of a political estrangeinent with the secretary of the navy. Hanna was rejoiced, selected an appropriate gift and returned to his auties a sadder and & wiser man. 1t was a close call all around, but the present, over which there was so much contention, now adorns the parlor of Yreuy house on Q street, whero Mr. and Mrs.a Lancaster reside.
