GEIST WAS EASIER THAN EVER Fifteen of His Cholcest Carves Were Straightened Out by the Y. M. C. A. WVatters—Connor's Work Was Nice and Very Well Supported. PRINGFIELD is out of sight—so far out that the wick telescope could hardly locate her this morning. She came up yes- terday afternoon, nine men strong, to show the ()m{\hn Young Men's Chris- tian associations how to_play ball— that is, how it is played down in Springfield— and sho wont back in the evening with the suprome stuffing knocked out of her. It 1s probablo horeafter sho will confine her instructive propensities to the clod- hoppors of Sarny county. The lads of the metropolis aro entirely too swift for hor. Great Caesar! How Captain Abbott's cherubims did swibe the porcine cuticle. It was biff; smash; bang! from 4 o'clock until 6, and when 1t wns all over the sturdy agriculturists looked as if they had just emerged from a hard dayin the harvest fleld So hang the banners ou the outer wall and loudly toot the gay bazoo. The circus opened up right m the first inning, and from the jump the boys from the woods were kept as busy as so many blue- nosed monkeys in fly time. Coal Oil Jolifiny, Stoney returned to the bench on an altitudinous punch out to Farmer Bates, but 8eist caved in Professor Rustin's occiput with the globular and he took first: General Winfield Scott, following on four more as wide as a barn door. Farmer Geist was as wild as a steer. ‘With these two cherubs on bases Captain Abbott straightened out one of the bucolic's curves until it looked like : rope stretched from the plate to Jeff *Bedford's! sign. It was a three bagger, and started the old slo- gan in tho stands. Then Russell McKelvey bit the sphere with much asperity, and Captain £ Abbott, his curls flaunt- —~// ing in the breeze hike the mane of a wild horse, =555 galloped home, whilo RUS- Guret stéats second, sell made second. Then the Cyclopean Mr. Jeffries—tho new first baseman d his club against a ¢hoice one, and McKeivey added another run to the credit of the cherubs. After a while Springtield took her turn, It lasted only a minute. Russell slammed Jim Hall out, and Coal Oil Johnny did a like favor for Gelst and Harlan. In the third the cherubs chopped out an- other tally, in the fourth two more and three in the sixth—just as easy as the itch. In their half of the latter inning the hay- makers succeeded in_copping out their ouly run, a lttie, hollow-chested, sore-oyed, con- ~gumptive tally thet was too wesk and emaciated to get away. ‘This is how it happened. Farmer Hall, in swinging his plow handle around his neck, happened to run it against one of Conner's chrysanthemums- ana it' rolled far enough out among the watermelon, vines to allow him to reach first. Farmeor Geist also made-a vicious stab at the ball with his hoe, and before Mrs. Wilkins’ little boy could pull it up out of the goosoberry bushes, | -Farmer Hall was on third and Farmer Giost on first. He stood there u moment as is wondering how it all happened, when suddenly an idea worked through the 'moss covering his ~skull, and giving his over- alls an extra hitch he ac- tunlly started to steal S'second, ! The audacious pumpkin- husker! Aunlo Low Seo him fly! Abbott was 50 startled ut this bold coup de grace thut in attempting to get the ball down to Prof. Rustin he plugged Jackson Haskell, tho umpire, in the middlo of the vertibrao with a sound that sounded like a Council Bluffs belle pulling her teeth out of a hunk of gum, ‘L'he sohere caromed off out into tho pam- pas, and Farmer Hull poured in over the vlate. That was all they did in the game. But the cheruts kept right on sawing wood, and when the twenty-soventh man had folded his hands and said his prayers they had s0 many ruus thut it was all Annie Liowry could do to Lift thepi in u busket.

Socond Racoe of the Cup Defenders Won by the Vigilant. New Yonk, Sept. 9.—The socond race in the series to decide what Ameri- can yacht shall defend the American cup against tho English yacht Valkyrie was sailed today over a triangular gourse, ten miles to each leg. The con- testants were the Vigilant, the Jubilee, the Pilgrim and the Colonia. The wind was light and tho race consumed almost six hours. It was more a test of steamship than of the speed of the yachts. The Pilerim crossed the starting line first, Colonin second, the Jubi- lee third and the Vigilant fourth, “T'he first stake was the Scotland lightship, It was a slow race to that goal. The Pilgrim rounded the ship first, six lengths ahead of the Jubi- which was followed closely by the ilant. The Colonia was last. The Vigilant then went to the frout and steadily creased her lead. On turning the second mark about a quar- ter of a mile separated each of the racers. First came the Vigilant, then the Jubilee, Pilgrim and Colonia in the order named. ‘The run home was a long, monotonous and nearly windless procession. All four cast loose their spinnakers and started on the home stretch, It appeared to overybodv that the Vigilant was the winner and that the Colonia was not in the race. The Colonia tried to pass the Pilgrim, but failed, 'The Vigilant never relaxed her lead a yard. There was a great deal of noise at the finish. All the stoam craft blew whistles and everybody who had @ gun fired it. ‘The correct time of the race was as fol- lows: Vigilant, 4:4:31; Jubilee, 4:9:3; Pil- grim, 4:12:40; Colonia, '4:16 Charley May Not Come After All. LoNnoy, Sept. 9.—Charles Mitchell, the pugilist who is upon the point of starting for the United States to meot James Corbett, may be prevented from doing so. A woman named Sophin Watson made an application this morning fora warrant charging Charles Mitchell with perjury. Over a year ago, it appears, the woman obtained a summons agatust Mitchell, claim- ing that he was the father of her child.. This- stmmons was - dismissed. The * magistrate today, after listening to a1l the woman had to say, informed her that she must fngert proof in her afdavit before the“warrant could” bo issued. This the woman said she could and would do, and will renew her application for a warrant, It 1s Mitchell's intention to sail for New York Wednesday next.

As Mr. Drager sots up to be some pumpkins himself in this line it is quite probable that he will interpose an objection quite as often as his head before Danny's punches.

ELLA WOODLINE'S FINE SHOWING She Forees Director's Flower to Take Lower Record in Order to Win— Ataline Lands the Yearling At Mason Cit, WasHINGTON PaRk, Cmicco, Sot. 9 [Special Telegram to Tne Bre]—The largest attendance of the meeting was at the park this afternoon. Kxcoptional racing was the order of the day. In_ the Surprise stake, for 3-year-olds, open to tho world, Director's Flower, the greatest win- ning 2-year-old of the year, was compailed to beat her record of 2114 t defeat tho reat Nebraska filly, Ella Woodline:- In oach of the two heats thelatter drove her out, and a mistake anywhere would have cost the California filly the heat. Elia Woouline's time for the two heats was 2:211{ and 2:21. Tho last quarter of the second mile was trotted in 33 seconds. Image, Budd Doblo's entry, was made favorite in the 8-year-old stake, but the filly was not good today, and, though she finished second 1n the first heat, was drawn. Cytheria, the winner, is an Indiana produc- tion. Tho Calumet stake for 2:20 pacors was a rattling contest from wire to wire and the finish of each hoat was remarkably exciting and close enough to require a good eye to decide. Vassar,a roan 4-year-old by Vat- ican, won the first heat in2:13, with tho Chicago gelding, Rocker, dangerously close up. Barney, the crack Kentucky pacer, won the next two heats. with Rocker 8o close as to make those not at the wire guess which won. Fenture Not Provided For. The exciting race of tho day, however, was the 2:20 class trot, Chicago stake, for o purse of $2,500. Answor, by Ansel, owned by the Prospect Hill farm, Frank- lin, Pa., won the first heat, with Ellard, owned by Budd Doble right on his neck. In the second heat a collision occurred on the back stretch and Brignoli Wilkes got loose, and, turning around, came running back the wrong way of the track. As tho drivers saw the runaway horse com- g around the lower turn directly toward them, they quit driving and hunted a place of safety. They all jogged home, Ellard in front, and expected a decision of no heat, but it was given to Ellard and the horses all vlaced as they came in. Katie Earl, an out- sider, won the third heat in a wonderful finish, Answer winning the fourth from the mare by narrowest kind of a margin. The fifth went to Katie Barl, with Ellard uncom- fortably close, and the sixth was a dead heat between Answer and Katie Earl. ~ After tais heat the race was carried over until Monday, when the chances are that Ellard or Answer will win, Summaries: Winners of the Day.

More Trouble in Nioaragun ‘WasniNGToN, Sept. 9.—Although without any,information on the subject, officials of the government are inclined to the belief that trouble of some kind has broken out in Nicaragua. They baso this belief on the fact that telugraphic communication with that country has been broken off and all at- tempts at reaching the representative of the United States there have been without avail. With a view to being prepared for a trouble that might develop,sthe Navy de- artment has decided to send the cruiser troit, now otthe Norfolk navy yard, to Nicaragua as soon as she can be prepared for the cruise. KANSAS CILY TRAGEDY. Horrible Murder of & Woman In & Promi- nent Ofice Buliding. Kjxsas Crry, Sept. 9.—A shocking murder was committed today in an office building at “The Junction,” the most prominent loca- tion in the business district of the city. Mrs. Jane Wright, better known as Mme. Wright, a well known employ- ment . agent, was found dead in her offico. at 8 o'clock this evening by the janitor of the building. The body was found on the floor, face downward. The face had been cruelly beaten, and was scarcely. recognizable ‘through the cuts and bruises upon it. The hands and feet were securcly tied with stout wrapping cord. Deep, red imprints of human fingers in the throat, tho discolored, face and protruding tongue and eyés told how the murder had been done. The murder is an altogether mysterious one, and there is no clew to its verpetrators. The motive evidently was not robbery, ualess the murdercrs over- looked the money that was found on the body. In a pocket of the victim’s dress skirt was found $1.41 in silver. An examination by the corover showed that the woman wore besides the usual female garments a pair of men’s trousers cut off at the kneces. In the trousers pocke was found $171 in gold ana an equal amount in paper money. r1The only possible motive for the crime, so the police say, is revenge, and that suggests the theory that the crime was committed by several Italians whom' Mme. »Wright swindled some time ago. She told the Ital- ians that she had work for them on a grading contract at a station on the Kan- sas City, Wygndotte & Northwestern rail- way. She collected from twenty Italians 84 each and sent them qut. The Italians fpund that there was nothing at the “station” ex- cepting the tool house of a section of the railway. They werecompelled wo walk back to town and when they arrived here thoy reported the case to the police and threat- ened vengeance. Mrs. Wright has been twice married, but both husbands are now dead. She has a son, John Wright, who was taken into custody on suspicion, but was released. e S AN AMERICAN Ci1IZEN. And He Was Haviag No French Kulos Played on Him, A man with that variety of whiskers &nown technically as “loose chewing” was playing billiards in an uptown room on Saturday afternoon, says the Buffalo Express. Ho hud for an antagonist a little man with a broad-brimmed straw hat. The man with the whiskers made a shot. ‘*‘Here,” shouted the man with the straw hat, “‘that was a push shot and push shots don't go.” “What's thut?” inquired the man with the whiskers. “Push shots are barred, T said.” “Barred, hey? Well who in blazes barred them?” *“Why, they are barred in the rules.” The man with the whiskers thumped his‘cue down on the floor and leaned over the table. ‘“Who made the rules for this game?” he asked. The straw-hatted player hesitated. ‘I ain't exactly sure,” he finally said, ‘but I suppoge it was the French,” “Supppse it was the Fronch, hey? Well, I suppose so0, too. Now, where is the land where the French live?” The straw-hatted man looked embar- rassed. ‘*Across the water, ain't it?” *Itis. And the French are foreigners, ain't they?” T suppose 80.” “Well, young feller,” sail the man with the whiskers, *‘I want you to under- stand that I'm an American citizen. I'm a dweller on freedom’s soil. I'm a be- liever in home industries and I don't recognize no rules made by any durn foreigners. American rules i1 good enough for me, and if they aw't no American rules I'll make a few myself, Therefore, [ am decidedly of the opinion that push shots go. Play billiards now, before I smack you,” And the straw-hatted player was so rattled that he missed the easiest kind of a carom. ——— Fine boating, Courtland beach today. el A Now, York Character.

BABY RUTH'S LITTLE SISTER Anothor Oherab Oomes to Gladden the Hoarts of the Olevelands. HER HANDSOME MOTHER IN MINIATURE At Noon, Kxactly, the Angels Brought the Little Strangor from the Realms of Love ~Mrs. Cloveland's Condition—Con- gratulations Pouring ln. WasHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Mrs. Cloveland Rave birth to a baby girl at noon. Mother and child are doing woll, Dr. Bryant, Mr. Cleveland’s family physi- clan, and Dr. O'Reilly of tho army, who has often been called into consultation by the president’s family, wero at the white house on duty all last night in an®acipation of the important ovent, The news was suppressed for somo time, but once out spread with groat rapidity and was soon tho subject of conversation everywhere, and the president was over- whelmed with congratulations. The baby is healthy and sound, and Mrs. Cloveland came through the oideal surprisingly well. Tt is understood that the little stranger weighs about ten pounds. Mr. Cleveland's Ansiety, With tho courage that has always charac- tovized Mr. Cloveland in times of groat trial and anxioty, he did not betray to his numer- ous callers the strain under which ho was laboring. F'rom time to time during the morning tho president was quietly advised as to the con- dition of affuirs in the sick room, and at exactly 12 o'clock Dr. Bryant summoced him from the reception room into the private hallway leading to Mrs. Cleveland's bed chamber. ~ When tho prosident hastily ovened the door he realizod from tho beam- ing countenance of Dr. Bryant that the crisis had boen safoly passed. Without word, but with a suspiclous moisture about the eyes, the president and his family physi- cian warmly clasped hands. ““She is safe?” inquired the president hur- riedly. The smile on the doctor's face and the re- assuring pressure of the hand told him that his wiro was safe and, without pausing, he added: “Is 1t boy or girl?" Something like a_shadow of disappoint- ment_swept across Mr. Cloveland’s faco as the physician told bim thut the uew-born babo was a girl. While ho was talking with Dr. Bryant little Ruth was brought into tho hailway by hor nurse. When she espied her father sho stretched forth hor arms to him. The presi- dent took her lovingly in his cmbrace, stroked hey halr and kissed her tenderly, saying, with a note of tremr:lous endearment in"hus tone: “Ruth, my dear, you havea little sister.” Reliovod ‘of the load of aaxiety which had been bearing down so heavily upon him duriog the morning, the vresident returncd to his desk and began digging away at tho stack of documents and papers befora him. He could not restrain the joy which ho felt, however, and after working a few moments he walked into the ofiice of Private Secre- tary Thurber and with a broad smilo on his face nformed his faithful companion of the event. They shoolk hands cordially and Mr. Thurber congratulated Mr. Clevelind. Gavo the Nows to the Fabllo. Mr. Cleveland went back to his desk and a few moments aftorwards went down stairs into the blue parlor to receive the Jupanese prince who had called to pay his respects. “Mr. Cleveland did this as though nothing unusual had bappened, About 2 o'clock ha sumioned his privite secretaty and' tola him that the news could be given to the press. At 2 o'clock a representative of the Asso- clated press called upon Secretary Thurber to inquire if the whispers which had begun to spread were true, but before he could ask tho direct question, the sccretary antici- pated his inquiry and said: “You can tell The news was bulletined at the offico, the eapitol, the dounmnm prominent hotels and was almost the sole theme of conversation during the romainase of the afternoon.

This is illus- trated in one particular at loast by the following incident related by the New York Herald: Not many months ago a cortain New York newspaper had on its staff a young Briton, a university graduato and a man who took honors in the dead languages at his college. Some time before the death of ex- President Hayes the youngz man was sent to the Fifth Avenue hotel to obtain an interview with that gentleman, who was then stopping temporarily in the city. Arriving at the hotel, the young man sent up his name and shortly afterward was ushered into the presence of Mr, Hayes. ‘“‘Aro you ex-President Hayes? " quer- ied the Englishman, not wishing to be mistaken in his man. ‘Yes,” replied tho ““What can I do for you? " *‘Oh, 1 was sent to interview you,” re- turned the reporter, and he at onco seb out to obtain Mr. Hayes' impressions of New York and the country. The ex- president conversed entertainingly for a few moments and the Englishman took his leave. - No sooner had he got outside the door, however, than a thought struck him. He must know move about the man with whom he had talked. Opening tho door again, therefore, he thrust his' head in and said: “I beg your pardon, Mr. Hayes, but would you mind, telling me of what you were president?
