Magnificent Contest Between the Attain
tics and Athletics.
From 400 TO 500 spectators Witnessed one OF the
most brilliant games OF base ball on the Union
Grounds, Brooklyn, 4. D., yesterday afternoon
that has been played In this vicinity for number
OF years. The contestants were the Athletics OF
Philadelphia, and the Atlantics, OF Brooklyn. The
first tour innings resulted In blanks for both Sides
the pitching being remarkably enecttve. while the
fielding was Of the very highest order. In the
nth inning Pearce led on with pretty
base hit TO left field. and was followed
By Kessler with short high ball in the same
direction. Booth and Ferguson struck out, after
which Hodes made corking hit over Gedney,s
head, bringing in both Pearce and Kessler and
earning the only the Atlantics got in the entire
game. For the same inning the Athletics took two
runs, both OF which were earned, Notwithstanding
but two base hits were made. 1t was done In this
way :-Fisler started with clean line hit to centre
field for one bag. Sutton hit pretty ball to right
ned near the foul line, and 80 far from the fielder

clear around to third base. although Sutton did
not get past first. Battan followed with very
hard ball to Pearce, who could not get 1t In time
to cut FISHER on at the home plate, but he cap

handsomely ana threw It to nrSt, while Sutton,

the inning, which had yielded two hard earned
runs on a. many base hits, was brought to close.
wide throw from FarrOw to Hall and o. close de-
cision at the home plate gave the Athletics an
other run IN the next inning, and a dropped NY by
Kessler in the eighth inning gave them two more.

EXPLOSION OF LOCOMOTIVE BoILER-HoRRI-
BILE DEArHs.-Last Saturday afternoon about
3 o'clock, whilst freight engine No. 70, on the
Northern Central Railroad, was standing on the
track just beneath a bridge near Mount Wolf,
some two or three miles above York, Pa, the
boiler exploded with terrific force and shock
ingly fatal effect. The boiler or greater por-
ton of it was blown to a distance of some 300
yards, completely demolishing the bridge un
der which the engine had been standing. Jno.
Platz, the brakeman, who was on the engine at
the time, was blown up to great height, and
his mangled body descended with such force
upon the roof of freight car, as to crush COM
pletely through it in an almost undstinguish-
able mass of quivering flesh. At the moment
of the explosion. Nicholas Treadway, the en-
gineer of the locomotive, who was standing up
on the track engaged in oiling the machinery,
was struck and scalded and so terribly injured
that he lived but q short time. A fireman,
whose name was not ascertained, who was also
standing near the engine, was very seriously
scalded. All these poor men lived in York.

The MENNoNITEs OF RUsslA.-The Mennonites
of Russia, who, to the number of about sixty
thousand, propose to settle in this country, ask
OF Congress that land on the public domains
equal to twenty or twenty-five miles square be
withdrawn from market and set apart for them
to purchase. They do not ask that single acre
be given to them but they desire to escape from
the tricks of land spectators, and propose to pay
whatever the government may charge for the
land. Should Congress grant this request they
will divide the tract into sections and quarter
sections, and distribute it among members of the
sect, and will pay ten per cent. of the purchase
money and begin settling Immediately. About
ten thousand will come to this country this year.
leaving the others to wind up their affairs in
Russia. The Canadian government has offered
to present the Mennonites with more than four
times as much land as they seek to buy of our
government, and TO pay them thirty dollars per
person, if they will settle in that country, but
they nave already been driven from their own
country by monarchical institutions they prefer
to make their new settlement in land where
their religious freedom is assured.
