THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1895. BONDS TO BE ISSUED. Drain Upon the Gold Reserve Causes the Action. OFFICIALS ARE SILENT. President Cleveland Loth to Call an Extra Session of Congress. AN EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES. Recent Withdrawals of Gold Are the Largest Since Last February. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 12.—The drain upon the gold reserve of the treasury of the United States, foreshadowed in these dispatches for some time past, seemed to have begun in earnest to-day when the officials were advised of the withdrawal of $1,650,000 from the sub- treasury at New York for export. The condition of affairs has occasioned much speculation of the means that the adminis- tration will employ to maintain the gold reserve or replenish it, should the proba- ble withdrawals reduce it below the amount which it is deemed necessary for the Government to hold. Itmay be stated almost authoritatively as between another issue of bonds and the calling of an extra session of Congress that the former will be resorted to. To-day’s withdrawals were the largest on any one day since the contract with the Belmont-Morgan syndicate went into effect last February. They reduce the gold in the United States treasury to $101,302,363, or a loss of more than $6,000,000 from the highest point it reached after the syndi- cate had made its final payments last month. On July 9 the gold reserve reached $107,- 541,375, being higher than on any day ac- cording to the treasury’s official “‘ten- days” statement since February 20, 1893, Between the two dates named $162,400,000 United States bonds were sold for gold, at prices aggregating $182,000,000, and the gold reserve which was something over $65,000,000 in January, 1893, replenished as has been done by these bonds sales, amounts to-day to a little more than $101,000,000 or a net loss of $146,000,000. Department officials are loth to discuss the effect on the treasury of renewed gold shipments or to express an opinion as to their probable extent or when the ship- ments will cease, or whether the bond syndicate will feel itself bound to place the gold as it did after the first large with- drawal after its purchase of bonds. With exchange at $4 9014, an exceedingly high figure, the opinion is generally ex- pressed that gold exports to the extent of $20,000,000 or $30,000,000 are likely to occur before October 1. The only thing ihat is likely to reduce the sale of exchange is heavy shipments of American cereals. Aside from the decline in the gold re- serve, the treasury situation is regarded as éncouraging, as the receipts are gradually approximating to the expenditures. The excess of expenditures over receipts for the past two years amounted to $170,000,- 000, and for the month and a third which has elapsed of the current fiscal year $15, 000,000. But the receipts are increasing, and officials express the hope that before January 1 next they will equal the expen- ditures, or nearly so. CONGRESS MAY BE CALLED. Members to Be Given an Opportunity to Consider Currency Reform. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 12.—It was said to-day by prominent officials who are in very close friendship with President Cleveland that there will be another bond issue as soon as the public credit is menaced. An evening paper has a long article to the effect that an extra session is very probable, not only on account of the state of the finances, but because a new Asso- ciate Justice of the Supreme Court must be confirmed in time for the October meet- ing of the court, and that it is considered as well from an ¢conomical standpoint to bave the lower house in session as well as the Senate. There are few officials, how- ever, who believe that President Cleveland will call Congress together this summer, but it is almost a foregone conclusion that there will be another bond issue withont legislative sanction if it shall be deemed necessary. At the last issue President Cleveland did not feel gustified in taking action until he had given Congress an opportunity to con- sider the subject of currency reform, re- tirement of greenbacks and substitution of gold bonds for bonds redeemable simply in gold coin, It was the original intention of the Treasury Department to let the reserve drift a little below $60,000,000 before taking action, but tremendous exports and re- demptions of paper money, which occurred during the closing days of January, took the situation for a moment out of the con- trol of the Treasury Department and car- ried the reserve down with a jump in twelve days, from $70,763,117 to $44,705,967. This will not be allowed to occus again. If there are symptoms of a real panic which threatens to arrest an expansion of industry and restoration of business confi- dence, an opportunity will be offered the syndicate to take a new issue of bonds at a fair price, and if the offer is refused, terms will be quickly made with other takers. Action can be taken under section 3700 of Revised Statutes, as was the case with the last contract, or under general author- ity to issue certain classes of bonds to se- cure redemption funds. It is said that the treasury officials do not believe another issue of bonds will be made soon, but they wish it understood that the Government is ready to do so whenever it shall become necessary to maintain the Government's credit. COMPTROLLER BOWLER FIRM. He Will Refuse to Samction the Sugar Bounty Payments. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 12.—No de- cision is expected from Comptroller Bowler in regard to the payment of the sugar bounty claims for some time—probably not before the return to the city of Secretary Carlisle, which will be about September, The general impression is that the Comp- troller will take the position that hisaction has already indicated, viz.: He will decline to approve the warrant for the bounty to the anard Beet Sugar Company, and the case will have to go to the courts for deter- mination, A lengthy communication is Eublished in the Times this morning from on. William Lawrence of Bellefontaine, for e number of years Comptroller of the Treasury, in which he approves_the atti- tude_assumed by Mr. Bowler. In doing this Mr. Lawrence antagonizes the position of Messrs. Teller, Lamar and Hoke Smith, Secretaries of the Interior, which was quoted by Judge Semmes in his argument beiore Mr. Bowler Saturday. — - LIKE THE HOLMES MURDER. Camphell Hall, @ Young Colored Boy, Dies Under Peculiar Circumstances. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 12.—The police of this city have under investigation a case which resembles in a small way the celebrated Holmes atrocities. This after- noon Charles Hammond, 27 years old, and Rose Hammond, azed 28, both colored, were arrested on suspicion of having mur- dered Campbell Hall, a ten-year-old step- brother of the Hammonds. The boy was insured in the Metropolitan Insurance Company for $60, and was listed in two other insurance associations for lmn_ll sums. An autopsy made on the body this evening developed the fact that death was not due to natural causes. Scars to the number of fifteen were discovered on the boy’s back and breast, and some of them were an inch and a half in length. The examinatious also showed that no food had been eaten by the deceased for some time. An inquest will be held to-morrow morning, and several persons havealready stated that they have seen the boy brutally whipped by the Hammonds. It is said by the police that some months since another boy who lived with the couple died suddenly and under mysterious cir- cumstances. It is believed his life was in- sured for $200. WORK OF THE WHITE CAPS They Cause a Reign of Terror Among Negroes in Delta County, Tex. One Farmer Who Failed to Leave Was Murdered in the Presence of His Mother. PARIS, Tex., Aug. 12—The White Caps were not satisfied with causing a reign of terror among the negroes of Delta County and their operations were extended to this county. The negroes were driven from Delta County almost to a man, and were notified to leave their homes and crops. The negroes from this county had commenced to flee when one of their churches was burned a few nights ago. Negroes residing in the city have re- ceived notice to leave on peril of their lives. Au aged negress reached here to-day and stated that her son, residing near Pacic, in Delta County, was called to his door at4 o’clock Saturday morning and shot down by the White Caps. His ten days’ notice had just expired. He did not comply with the demand, for had he done so his crop would have been lost and the lives of the members of his family placed in jeopardy. His name was William Stephen and he was murdered in the presence of his wife, mother and children. He tried to sell out his crop, but could find no purchaser. The notice ordering him to leave was posted on his door. His brother is in hiding here. Indignation is at red heat and more murders by these outlaws are expected. The negroes to-day issned an appeal through the press for protection. This lawlessness is not countenanced by the whites generally and every effort is being made to subdue it both by officials and citizens. Three arrests have been made to date. An evening paper says editorially: “The officers of these two counties should make every effort to bring every one of these lawless gangs to speedy and severe justice. The penitentiary or the gallows is tne place for all such char- acters. Not only the officers but the the pecple of. the sections where White Cappers have broken out should arm them- selves and pump lead into every White Cap found posting notices or doing other un- lawful acts. Such outlawing must be sup- pressed, and if necessary the people should meet and use force. The end is not yet. More trouble is imminent and bloodshed may become general.” et NEW AND OLD POLICE BOARD. One Side Holds the (:{lloel, the Other the Awthority. OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. 12.—The situation in the fire and police board case remains the same as before. The old board still holds possession of the offices and claims to have a right to it nunder the decision of Judge Hopewell. They are waiting, itis said, for the action of the Supreme Court on the matter. The new members of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners were kept busy yesterday receiving applications and listen- ing to applications for positions on the police force. No action was taken or will be taken for a day or two until it is learned how many of the old force are to be retained. This of course depends largely on the number that promptly recognize the authority of the new board. Should Chief White rec- ognize the new board it is said to be prob- agle that the subject of a new chief will not be considered at this time. Shonld he fail to do so one of the first acts will be to select a new chief. As to the possibility of retaining Chief White members are reticent, but there is known to be some sentiment favorable to that idea, or at least in favor of giving him a trial. 1f Chief White fails to report to the new board by 10 o’clock to-morrow his position will be filled. As far as the pay of policemen is concerned the plan so far stated is that all will be credited with pay u)) to and including to-merrow. There- after every man who fails to recognize the new board will be dropped from the {ny- roll and the council will refuse to pay him for any further service. . i WILL NOT PAY THE POLICY. An Insurance Company Refuses on the Ground of Suicide. AUGUSTA, Ga., Aug. 12—A $5000 in- surance policy taken out by H. T. Philips of Twigg County on the life of his grand- daughter, Willie Ilena Pugh, will figure in »lawsuit and, the authorities think, will develop a sensation. The girl was 18 years old and in robust health, A small cash payment was made by the grandfather and his note was given for the balance of the first premium. The agents later announced that the policy was all flfht, and it had just been sent to the grandfather when the news came that the girl had died. lnvesti?tion shows that she was morbid and had frequently said she was going to kill herself. At noon she cooke(f dinner and ate heartily. Two hours later a ser- vant found her lying dead in the hall. The insurance people contend that the policy never was in force and that the girl com- mitted suicide. They do not make any strong charge against the girl’s relatives, but they hint strongly at sensational de- velopments. RS E 3 A Boy Driven to Suicide. ‘WARSAW, Ixp., Aug. 12.—Leroy Cardiff, aged only 9 years, committed suicide last night by taking “Rough on Rats.” His mother recently obtained a divorce upon very sensational grounds, and the little boy left a note saying that he could no longer stand the taunts of his playmates. Ex-Mayor Cardiff, the h&y'l ther, is a very prominent attorney this city. He has served three the Sta i frrite years in the State Legis- MURDERED HIS AUNT. Terrible Crime of a Lad on a Farm in Iowa. KILLED HIMSELF ALSO. An Old Army Musket gnd a Razor Were the Weapons of Death. INGRATITUDE FOR KINDNESS. The Youth Had Recently Been Brought From Germany by His Uncle. SHELBY, Iowa, Aug. 12.—This town was thrown into intense excitement this morning over the discovery of a horrible murder and suicide, the victim being the wife of William Kruger, and her slayera young German who worked for her hus- band, named Herman Kohaup. After killing the woman Kohaup cut his own throat and was dead when discovered. About 8 o'clock last night Withelm Kruger, on returning home from the house of one’of his neighbors, where he had gone after supper, found his wife missing and also his nephew, Herman Kohaup. After inquiring of the children as to where their mother was, he was informed that she had gone to the truck patch, and he started for the garden himself. She was not there, and the fact that she and his nephew had bad several quarrels made him suspicious. He immediately aroused the neighbors and went in search of her. About 11 o'clock, after three hours of searching, her body was found in a stubble field, about eighty rods southwest of the house. Squire Ennis was called and also Dr. N. J. Jones, a medical expert. Upon examination it was found that Mrs. Kruger bad been shot through the temple, several bullets entering the brain, There was no indication of a struggle in the field. After she had been killed her slayer had pounded her on the head with the gun, which wasan old army musket borrowed from a neighbor. . The gun was broken in two pieces and her head was buried about four inches in the hard ground, the back of her skull being badly fractured. She was taken to the house and put in charge of the under- taker. Herman Kohaup, who came to this country from Germany last spring, was a lad about 18 years of age, and entered the | employ of his uncle as a farmhand. After he had committed the murder he walked about thirty yards into the cornfield, sat down on the ground and cut his throat with a razor. His body was found at day- light this morning and has not yet been touched, as the Coroner has not yet ar- rived, The suicide’s victim leaves four little children, the eldest being 9 years of age. Kruger says that Kohaup was a morose, surly fellow, and that for some reason be never liked Mrs, Kruger. His peculiar ac- tions at times caused Mrs. Kruger to fear him, and several times she had informed her husband of this and declared that she did not want to be alone with him. AN EX-CONVICT BRINGS SUIT. Charges the Officers of the Georgia Peni- tentiary With Brutality. ATLANTA, GA., Aug. 12.—Harry Mer- ritt, an ex-convict, Saturday entered suit against the Georgia Penitentiary Company for $5000 damages. Merritt was sentenced to twelve years in the penitentiary for burglary, and after serving nine years was pardoned by the Governor. He accused the prison officers of the greatest brutal- ity. He recites in his petition that while working for the brick company and the penitentiary company on one ocsasion he was struck 175 blows, the blood gushing at every stroke, and when caFtured after try- ing to escape immediately after that was beaten. He says he was held by six men while Captain Woodrutf, the whipping boss at the Chattahoochie Brick Com- pany’s yards, beat him over the head and in the face with the heavy end of a strap, splitting the strap and putting out one of the prisoner’s eyes. On _another occasion he was sick and unable to work, he writes, his legs and feet being swollen 8o that he could hardly stand, and he was dragged to the scene of the work from a quarter to half a mile, head first, over the ground until the skin was rubbed from his body. He says he was forced to work in winter without shoes, and as a result his feet were frost- bitten and he is now a physical wreck. R R DISCOVERY OF A SKELETON. The Ghastly Find Brought From a Lake Bottom by Fishermen. ‘WEST POINT, N, Y., Aug. 12—A num- ber of men have been camping on the shore of Binnipink Lake for ‘several weeks past. They caught black bass and pick- erel by the boatload, and went out as usual Saturday to make a big haul. As- semblyman Louis F. Goodsell and Jim Taggert of Newberg were in one boat, while Ebenezer Likely, Joe Miller, George Flood and half a dozen lesser lights had three boats a little further away. Likely’s hook became fastened to sorue object on the bottom of the lake and he could not get it loose. With his friend’s help he succeeded in pulling to the surface what was atteched to the hook and found it to be the skeleton of a man. Whea it came in_contact with the air it went to pieces. The bones were gathered up and placed in a corner of the boat. The bottom was dragged and a pair of big Hessian cavalry boots were brought up from their century resting-place. The spurs had become imbedded in the leather, but were otherwise in condition. An enormous saber was aleo fished up. At the time Fort Montgomery was cap- tured during the Revolution the heaviest part of the fighting occurred on the banks of the lake, and into its quiet waters were flung the Hessians who were slain, Since that time it has been known as Bloody or Hessian Lake. The Indians call it Sinni- pink and the native mountaineers have named it Highland Lake. g RAVAGES OF A TORNADO. Many Buildings Badly Wrecked by the Falling Trees. RENSSELAER, Ixp., Aug 12.—-A tor- nado struck this town yesterday at 2 ». M. and lasted three minutes. The storm ap- peared to be only about a mile wide. It came from the northwest and attained a fearful velocity. Over $20,000 damage was done to property here. Fully fifty dwellings- were badly wrecked by being crushed by trees that were blown down upon them. panic occurred at a colored camp meeting on the outskirts of the town. The storm, without warning, picked up the tent bodily and left the people in a drenching rain at the mercy of the gale. They protected themselves by clinging to trees and fence posts. It is almost miracu- lous that no o‘;". was injured. In the immediate vicinity many trees were torn up by their roots and hurled yards away. One man had hold of s large tree, Whicl was finally uprooted, aad man and tree were carried away together. —————— LABORERS FLED FKOM ITALIANS. They Stood Their Ground Until the As- sailants Began Firing. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 12.—A body of 100 armed Italians, carrying a red fiag at their head. marched to the corner of Shady street and Forbes avenue, in this city, for off the laborers em- the purpose of drivin, ? ploed by Booth & Fiynn in rrading streets. The laborers stood their groun x‘inéfl the Italians began firing, and then led. A police alarm was sent in and a force of reserves hurried to the place in patrol wagons. The Italians fled when they saw the police coming, but twenty-one were captured and will be held for trial on a charge of rioting. e e FUNERAL OF JUSTICE JACKSON. His Remains Laid to Rest in the Private Family Cemetery. NASHVILLE, Texx., Aug. IZ.f-Ths re- mains of Justice Jackson were laid to rest in the private family cemetery at Balle Meade Stock Farm, six miles west of this city, this morning. The funeral cortege moved from West Meade, the home 9( the deceased Justice, shortly after 9 o’clock. The ceremonies at the grave were simple. Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer were the only members of the Supreme, Court present. A large number of promi- nent men from this city and other States were among the attendants. DRY SUNDAY IN NEW YORK, Mayor Pingee Is Interested in the Excise Law En- forcement. Says That He Would Revolutlonize the Whole System of Selling Liquor. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 12.—Mayor H. 8. Pingee of Detroit returned from Philadelphia yesterday and left there at 5 o'clock for Boston. He was greatly in- terested in the enforcement of the excise law. Referring to the ‘‘dry” S\mdny'he said, reflectively: ‘T have been thinking this matter over since the other day, and I have come to the conclusion that this en- forcement of the law will be a detriment to the party that is enforcing it. It is all right to say that a Democratic Legislature passed the law and that they should be blamed. The people don’t look that far back. They ask the question as to who is enforcing the law, and the answer is, Com- missioner Roosevelt. They don’t want any further advice, They simply wait until they get a chance at him and they will do all in their power to worst him. “The question of liquor-drinking is as much a science as the study of astronomy is, and the man who solves the question and secures for the country a satisfactory excise law deserves to have a monument erected to him. In a city where we have a mixed population, many of whom are Germans who are great beer-drinkers, the Sunday-closing clause cannot help breed- ing discontent. We have notable exam- ples over the country where the party in power with a great majority back of it has at- tempted to put an end to drinking on Sun- day by closing the saloon. The result has been a signal defeat of this party at the polls on the following election day. “Now I am not counseling the evasion of the law. The law is here, and Commis- sioner Roosevelt is an honest official, and by enforcing it he is only doing what the Police Commissioners before him should have done. The thing to do when a law becomes obnoxious is to repeal it. But be- fore that is done I am afraid it will seri- ously hurt the party in the State. “If I were asked what I would do about the question, 1 should say that I would revolutionize the whole system of selling liquor. In the first place, I would do away with the screen door and the stained glass. Let the sale of liquor be madeas honorable an occupation as the sale of groceries. Let a man walk into a saloon to get a drink as he would walk in to buy a pound of coffee. Let the man who gets drunk be treated as a criminal and offender against the publie. Let the man who sold him the intoxicant when he already had enough also be held responsible. Let street tables be arranged for as they are in Paris and Germany, and drinking 'be made as public as possible. Then the secrecy and air of exclusiveness would be taken away from it. There isan old saying that ‘stolen sweets are the sweetest.” That is largely the reason that a man drinks. He thinks it isbig. Again, many a man would be ashamed to go right out into the open air and take a drink. That is about the best method that I can suggest.” RNy AR WAS GIVEN SHORT SHRIFT. A Young Negro Assailant Said to Have Been Tortured to Death. SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 12.—A special from Albany, Ga., says that last Friday af- ternoon John Harris, 18 years old, a negro boy, went to the house of Mrs. John Mon- roe, a white woman, aged 66 years, living at Hurbfield Mill, and choked her into in- sensibility. Mrs. Monroe died a few hours afterward, but before dying regained con- sciousness long enough to tell who her as- sailant was. Harris was captured near Camilla Snurdncf and taken back to Col- quit County, and on the route he was dis- posed of. ports are conflicting as to the method amdploved, one being that he was burned to death, and another that he was cut and shot into giblets and then hanged. Whether either report is true, it is true that the assailant met with short shrift after he was captured, ———— : “CHEROKEE BILL” TO HANG. Throe Weeks Later, Upon the Same Scaf- fold, Six Will Die. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 12.—A special to the Chronicle from Fort Smith, Ark., says that “Cherokee Bill” was sentenced this morning by Judge Parker to be hanged September 10, The prisoner paid no atten- tion to the sentence and spent the time z:}zini out of the window. ‘Cherokee Bill” is now under two sentences of death. The Supreme Court has stayed the former sentence for investigation, and may or may not affirm the lower court. Three weeks later, from the same scaf- fold, at a ain§|a drop, Mrs. Kittenring, George Wash Richard Calhoun, ngton, John Allison, EIE Lucas and Frank Carver are to be hanged, all for murder, ket Gy Fears for a Sloop Yacht.

THEN HIS HONOR WAS DEFIED, Finally the Balliff Took a Hand and a Most Disgraceful Fight Followed. OMAHA, Nppr., Aug. 12 — Attorney William D. Beckett wasto-day cited to ap- pear before Judge Scott on the charge of contempt. This morning Beckett ap- peared before Judge Scott in chambers and applied to have an injunction case transferred to Judge Duffie’sdocket. Scott declined to give such an order. This angered Beckett, who spoke rather warmly and charged that the Judge had stated at the time the petition was given him that he would allow Beckett a chunce to argue his contention. Scott to-day de- nied this, “You did say it,” declared Beckett. “I did not say it,” retorted Scott, his face flushing with anger. Beckett advanced toward Scott and, striking the desk before which the Judge was seated, cried out, “I tell you you did say it.”” His attitude was threatening. Scott arose, pointed to the door and roared, ‘“You get out of here. I do not propose to be insulted by any attorney.” Beckett then advanced upon Scott and was apparently about to spring upon him when Bailiff Savage wedged himself in be- tween the belligerents. Begkett clinched with Bavage and a struggle ensued. Savage made another rush ut Mr. Beckett and was pushed to one side, while Mr. Beckett insisted that Savage had no right to put him out. Savage made a second rush, yelling “Let me at the —. He gotat him and got a punch 1n the face that sent him to the wall. Charles Keller then took hold of Mr. Beckptt and asked him to leave the room. Mr. Beckett started out and was then assaulted from behind and pushed out 1 nto the main courtroom by Savage, who thre w his hat out after him. With Mr. Beckett removed from the courtroom Scott’s ire increased. He called for the criminal docket and said that he would see that Beckett could not practice in his court again, and that he would have him fined for contempt. He was simply wild and swore all sorts of vengeance upon the attorney, who had dared to talk back to him. He issued a capias for Beckett, who could not be found. It was made re- turnable in the morning. ON THE EASTERN TRACKS. Winners Were Yery Hard o Pick at the Kansas City Meeting.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURITEX. Five High-Class Horses Wil Race for the Ameritan Turf Prize. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 12.—All lovers of the thoroughbred are looking forward to the Futurity, which will be run a week from Saturday, with growing impatience. Beyond all question it will be the greatest two-year-old race ever run in America, In the high class of the horses and in the general uncertainty of the issue, it will be the most notable in the struggle for the two-year-old prize en the American turf, ar- The race this year is different from all that have gone before in that at least five of the probable starters are of the highest class, and they are all known to Eastern racegoers, who have watched tbem in all their contests. Each one of these horses v has his band of partisans. There are Applegate men and Hastings men and Handspring men and Hazlet men and Axiom men. horse will more than 125 pounds, so that the high weights will not be severely handicapped. Hastings will probably be the favorite, although he has displayed so much temper in his work at Saratoga that the shrewdest observers there are not particularly impressed with him. In addition, Hastings will have to be ridden by some second-class jockey. Handspring is expected at Gravesend Monday. Simms is coming over from England to ride him in the Futurity, Simms is said to weigh 115 pounds and to be entirely out of practice, havine rid- den very little on the other side. _Hazlet and Axiom are in superb condi- tion, as their Saratoga races show. Haz- let is very much improved. Two weeks ago his owner timed him at Saratoga—a quarter of a mile in 223 seconds. Applegate has had ‘a long rest, and is i:l;m a special preparation for the race. cCafferty has made no secret of the fact that he thinks his colt can beat Hand- spring. In his last two or three races Applegate gave unmistakable evidence of hnvmg had too much racing. Hisrest has probably benefited him immensely. STATE FAIE RACES.

J., Aug. 12.—The tie which resulted between Wrenn and Larned in the Norwood tennis tournament last Saturday was played off here to-day before a large and iashionable gathering of %ectators. The result was a surprise. renn was defeated in three straight sets, 6—3, 6—1, 12—10. Wrenn bas now been defeated thisseason by four leaders, Hovey, Foote, Chace and Larned. ‘Wrenn played very poorly to-day, allow- ing Larned to pass him continuously at the net and missing a number of easy shots. His back-hand strokes were par- ticularly weak, and Larned had only to hammer at them to win his points. Larned, on the other hand, played a mag- nificent game. The summary of points gives Larned 127 and Wrenn 105, Jim Corbett Played Ball. SCRANTON, Pa., Ang. 12.—Fully 4000 people gathered at the ball grounds in this city to see the champion, James J. Corbett, and his brother Joe Corbett play ball with the Scranton team against Buffalos of the Eastern League. The champion put upa great game on first and made two hits, one of which sent in two runs that virtually won the game for Scrantons. Joe Corbett played fast batl at short. The spectators were quick to applaud the work of the cham- pion, and when he made the hit that scored the runs the cheering was tre- mendous. The final score was: Scrantons 6, Buffalos 3. Falkyrie ILI Sighted. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Aug. 12.—A sailing yacht, supposed to be the new racer, Ynl- kyrie III, passed Cape Race last evening, bound west. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 12.—TIt takes ocean steamers from three to four days to run to New York from Cape Race. It is bardly probable that the Valkyrie could cover the distance in less than six days with fair weather, and as she is due on the morning of Aungust 14, 1n order to equal the time made by the Vigilant, on the occa- sion of the latter’s trip from the other side she cannot come within abeut four days’ of the Vigilant's time.
