OhiO..Omcial.

The following is reported as the off,
cial returns of the late Ohio election:
Hayes, 235,972
Pendleton, 22S,332
Hayes majority 7,64O
Last year, on secretary Of State, it
stood thus:
Sherwood (Rep.) 267,o65
Hubbard (Dem. 1862
Republican majority, 1883
In 1867, for Governor the following
vote was polled:
Hayes Rep.) 243,0O5
Thurman Dem. 24O,O22
Republican majority, 1888
1t will be seen that the vote this year
was $1,000 less than it was last year, and
10000 less than it was in 1857 Either
the Democratic vote of 1857 or 1868,
cast in 1869, would have carried the
State triumphantly.

LONDON, November 2.-The Times to.
day comments on the rapid increase OF
importatlons of wheat from the United
States, A most interesting question, it
says, is the extent to which it can be
kept up in competition with Russia and
Central Europe when railways over that
section are fully developed. The great
questions for us to consider are reduc-
ton in freights and other charges and
the enlargement of communications with
the Mississippi Valley.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Mutual vs.. Eckford.

The first grand match aiming towards the cham
pionship, was commenced yesterday at the Union
Grounds Brooklyn, Il. D., between the Mutuals the
present propretors OF the whip-and the Eckfords OF
Williamsburg. II was generally expected that the
game would be a remarkably fine one and would be
hotly contested and there was IN attendance there
fore, fully 5000 or 1000 spectators. The game pro-
gressed as far the commencement OF the sixth
inning, when J. Pluvius pulled the string OF his
celestial shower bath and let the water come down
In lively STYLE Mr.. Walker, OF the Active Club who
was officiating as umpire, "called" the game
and Gil hands got under shelter until
the severity OF the shower mad passed.
There was, as might be expected from the state OF
the game as shown In the score given below, great
on tho part OF the Mutuas TO go on with the game
The spectators were desrols OF seeing such an in
terestng contest carried on and the Mutuals were

the matter was being talked over Mr. j. Puyius

Five innings had been played aud Il must rank

remarkably hne game on the Eckford side and rather

much OF both Is saving great deal The nelders and
basemen attended to their business. allowed
no opportunity to escape and caught everything
that was TO be caught The Mutuais on the other
hand, did not get hold OF Martins pitching and
batted up for the nelders The figures given below
will give good Idea OF the facts OF the batting and
OF the work done In the field. The MutuaIs lost
chances for double plays twice. and several of them

CouNciL DtscaAsesD.-At two o'clock to
day the City Council appeared in Osurt un
der arrest, aud answered to the charge Of
eontenpt Of Court. THE City Attorney read
the answer Of the Aldermen they had al
ways been willing to obey the mandates OF
the court that the order had been issued.
and that the treasurer Vas absent without
their coguizancs. They were Of the epin.
ion that they had been unjustly dealt With
their fair fame tarnishsd. their reputation
sullisd, and undue notoriety given to them.
The City Treasurer answered that he was
not absent for the causes alleged in the o..
der fer arrest that he WAS not absent
BY order or knowledge Of the Council, but
was on p,ivare business, not knowing that
an order VAS issued, and they therefore
asked to Be released without costs.
The attorney for COiian made personal
explanation, stating that it had not been
his purpose to put them to any iaconvsni>
ence, to inAics any indignity Or disgrace,
aud was surprised that they should %
consider it. In view Of their action ia
running away from the several meetings
