place, 20 or 90 "Peach Plucks." The
majority of them are boys from 10 to

EXCITING GAME AT ScHUKTzEN PARK
A HARD-EARNED VICTORY FOR THE
DUICHcnrno

ExClTINQ OAmE AT SCHUETZEN PARK
A HARD-EARNED VICTORY FOR THE
QUICKsTEPs.
Only about five hundred persons wit
messed the game at the Schuetzen Park
yesterday, between the the Quicksteps
and Dauntless clubs, many supposing
that the game would be one-sided af-
fair, and shat the Quicksteps would walk
away from their opponents without trou-
BILE.
This opinion, however, was entirely
wrong, as tho result proved. The visi-
tors had strong team, picked from Del
aware county and Philadelphia, and they
played with such vigor that the Quick
steps had to work hard 10 earn victory.
They were supported by Toner, pitcher
OF tho Collins club last year, and whose
swift pitching the home club found it
very hard to bat. =
The Quicksteps were short the Seryices
OF Chnch, and Talley, tenth man, played
in the field, while Kelley took second
The game commenced at o'clock, with
the Quicksteps at the bat, and by; sharp
playing both clubs were whitewashed.
made three runs and the Dauntless one,
and then, by sharp fielding, both clubs
were whitewashed. the next Four innings.
The Quicksteps made one run in the sew
enth and one in the ninth. five in all, and
the Dauntiess, BY. getting in two runs in
the last two innings, run up total Of
three. 1. =. -.
The game was interesting from the
first, and showed fine playing on both
sides. The pitchers worked effectively
and were ably supported in the field,
and in consequence the errors were
fCw.
In the fifth inning the Dauntless
catcher hurt his fingers and retired,
and was succeeded by"a player from
the party which accompanied the
Dauntless. The change, however, was
beneficial to the visitors, as the new
catcher played like professional.
OF course, with such small score,
much sharp playing was INDUCED in.
In the ninth inning, Talley of tho
Quicksteps, reached his third, and
Stock gained first. Two men were out
but Stock, by starting to run for sec
ond before the pitcher delivered the
ball, drew the ball in his direction, and
denied between first and second until
Talley got home, when he made his
second amid applause.
The batting, in the main, was light,
Talley, of the QuickstepJ, taking the
lead.

A Terrible Death.
ANOTHER BURNING CASE.
A TERRIBLE SIGHT ON EAST SEVENTH
sTREET-A WOMAN IN A MASS
OF FLAMES.


Last evening, about 8 o'clock, an
other fatal burning CA SC occurred near
Seventh and King streets, the parti-
culars of which. are as s-follows:
Shortly before eight o'clock, Mrs. e.
T. Fighter, living at No. 8 East Seventh
street went down to the basement
kitchen to light coal oil lamp. Be-
ing in q hurry to wait on a customer
up stairs, she hurriedly lighted tho
lamp with q piece Of paper, carelessly
threw the paper down, and started up
the stairs with the lamp in her hand.
When she reached the yard'she noticed
HER DRESS WAS ON FIRE,
it having caught from the paper which
she threw down after lighting the
lamp. She then placed the lamp upon
the table, and cried loudly for help.
In the yard adjoining, one of the
bakers in the employ of Jacob Stuck
was at work, and looking through a
crack in the fence, when attracted by
the cries for help he saw the woman
with her dress all on fire. The gate
between the yards was locked, but he
quickly broke it open, and instantly
tried to extinguish the flames.
When the gate was open the unfor-
tunate woman, crying
SAVE Me, SAVE ME-" .r-
rushed into Stuck's yard, and would
have run into the dining room or up
stairs had she not been prevented. Mr..
and Mrs. Stuck aided the man in his
efforts to extinguish the fire, but be-
fore they could succeeded the woman
ran out the gate to Seventh street, with
her clothing clinging to her person in
fiery shreds. She was then
COVERED WITH FLAMES,
from head to foot, and presented a
terrible sight. A small crowd by this
time had collected, and several of the
gentlemen removed their coats and
threw them around tile burning wom-
an after placing her on the pavement
This had the effect of smothering the
flames, and the woman was taken into
her house and wrapped in blankets
Drs. Meloney and Maull were quickly
sent for, and ON their arrival did all in
their power to alleviate the sufferings
of the woman, but she was burned so
badly, externally and internally that
she was beyond the power of medical
assistance. She fingered through the
night
AT TIMES IN GREAT AGONY,
and expired about half past six o'clock
this morning.
Mr.. Stuck had his hands burned and
eyebrows singed, while trying to ex-
tinguish the flames, and of the gentle
men who rendered assistance on the
pavement, DIR. J. ]. Gallagher, Sam'l
Hawkins, Thos. Hawkins, and VIM.
H. Grebe were slightly burned on the
hands. Two or three of them also had
their coats burned
The victim of this unfortunate oc-
currence, was hair dresser, and bet
ter known as Mrs. chamberlain, hav-
ing married MIR. Fighter within a year
or two. She was about 35 years of
ago, and leaves one child, a girl about
10 years old.
The affair created great excitement
and numbers of persons were quickly
drawn to the.scene of the accident.
