to make them to their entire satisfaction,
and in this pursuit visited the firm of Bay

their order for the required jewels
They are all made of FURNISHED gold, and
are made in the most improved and satistac-
tory manner. Each jewel is made on a sepa-

Failed to Como OH.

About 1900 people assembled along the
banks of the Brandywine, at the Eleventh
street bridge. about 5 o'clock Saturday
evening, to witness the swimming match
between William Grantlin and George
Little, the amateur champion. Little was
on hand at the hour appointed, g. sc, ,all ready
for the swim of 100 yards, and waited pa
tiently until 6 o'clock for Grantlin, who
failed to put in an appearance, Al 6 O'Clock
Little jumped overheard, but as the water
was too cold for a swim for the fun of 1t
soon came out of the water and left. Little
started that the only way he could account
for Grantlin's absence was that he was
afraid to swim. The match was for gold
medal, for which neither was to contribute.
From that it was reasonable to infer that
Grantlin was afraid to swim, being fearful
that Little would beat him easily.

FOND HOPES REALIZED
THE AcTIvEs WIN A GAME in
WILMINGTON.
THE INTERSTATE SCHEDULE
The Brooklyn Club Ahead Saturdays
Game In This Clty-Other Scores and
Notes.

For the frat time during the entire season,
Saturday afternoon, the Active base bali
club of Reading ucceeded in defeating the
Quicksteps ON the latter's grounds. The
game was close and exciting throughout
Morris, the phenomenal left-handed pitcher,
tossed the ball for the Actives, and Henry
officiated in this capacity for the Quieksteps.
Both pitchers were very effective, and the
hits were few, though the Quicksteps did
not ''fan the air" as helplessly as they did
the last time they faced Morris.
Up to the sixth inning the score was even
Il to land then the Actives took slight
lead by putting another man across the
home plate. When the Quicksteps came to
the bat In the eighth inning Benners made a
magnificent drive to LETT field for three
bases-the longest clean hit ever seen on the
fleld-and came home on Hoover's hit. No
more runs were made this inning and the
Actives refused to play their half OF the
inning, on the plea that It was too dark to
see the ball. This, Of course, would have to
put the score back TO the end of the seventh
inning, when 1t stood 2 to l in favor of the
visitors. Umpire Holland, under the i'm
preston that the innings were even, called
game, and the Reading players left the
field. The indignant audience crowded
around them and demanded that the game
be finished. They we're obstinate, however,
and 1t was not until they received gentle
intimation that their share of the gate
money would be retained that they relented
and returned to the field.
The next inning the Actives again took
the lead by scoring one run. The Quick
step almost made another tie In their half of
the ninth inning, when Rickley made fine
two-baaser to centre field. Cusck advanced
him base by short hit, and was declared
out first by the umpire, although the base
man dropped the ball that was fielded to
him. This palpably unjust decision was
loudly hooted. Pyle ended the inning and
the game by striking out, leaving Rickley
on third.
The game was an exhibition contest, and
not one of the championship series. 1t was
well played throughout, ami altogether was
one of the most interesting, exciting and
closely contested games ever seen in this
city. The full score is as follows:

A MIDNIGHT FIGHT.
A Saloon Keeper AssauIted-TwO of His
AasailRnta ArrNafed.

n
AssailAnts Arrested.
About 1890 Sunday morning six young
men, all of whom were slightly under the
influence of liquor, raped at the door of
the saloon at Second and French streets and
demanded something to drink Joseph
Austin, who was In charge, opened the door
ond told them that hr could not accommo-
date them as it was after IL o'clock. After
talking in quiet manner for few minutes
and finding that Austin would not sell them
anything, one of the crowd without the
slightest warning, hit Austin a singing
blow in the face with his fist.
Without moments hesitation Austin
charged upon his assailant, and was getting
the best of him when they fell. The FIVE
associates Immediately began kicking and
beating Austin in a brutal manner when
Officers Cannon and Vickers appeared upon
the scene and attempted to arrest the six
rowdies.
A general fight was the result end de-
spite the efforts of the officers all escaped
with the exception oftwo, who were marched
OIL to the hall, fighting all the way up and
making the officers exert every effort posi-.
ble to get them to the hall.
When they arrived there they drew the
officers into the cell and attempted to beat
them and were only subdued after being
given the severe treatment which they SO
richly deserved.
During the melee Austin sustained a num-
Der of bruises about the body besides an
ugly cut in the head which bled profusely.
Officer Cannon had his coat almost COM
pletely torn of of him.

CASE ADJouKNED.
Judge CumnIns AdJourns the Case OF
Short vs.. Moore After Hearing the Evi.
dence of the Prosecution.

Judge CuulnIns AdJourna the Case Of
Short VS.. Moore After Hearing the Evi.
dence of the Prosecution.
Owing to the late arrival of several wit
nesses for the prosecution the case of
Thomas Short VS.. Officer Andrew Moore,
charged with assault and battery was not
called at the Municipal Court until 80
O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
The testimony OF Charles Retter, Samuel
Keenan, and Mrs Parker, who saw the whole
affair was to the effect that Short was assist
ing TO arrest the colored man Brown, with
whom officer Hbbett had considerable trou-
BILE, when officer Moore come into the room
where they were scuffiing on Locust street
and withour saying word drew hia black
jack and hit Short severe blow on the head
laying the bone bare for the space of an
Inch and. a-balf.
The defendant made substantially the
same statement as published In the daily
papers at the time of the disturbance and
stated on oath that he was trying to assist
the officer when Moore hit him with black
Jack. Short stated that he lives at S12
Locust street and that Brown ran into the
house next door and was closely followed
by Tibbett, and seeing that the officer was
outnumbered and would possibly be ill-used
had made his way into the neighbours house
and was assisting in putting Brown out
when assaulted by Moore.
Several other witnesses are heard as to
unimPortant facts, and the defense was
abou TO be heard when Judge Cummins
suddenly adjourned the court, with the
statement that he was compelled to make a
train aud had but few minutes to do so in.
He announced that the case would be heard
on Monday morning at Q O'Clock, until
which time The case would be adjourned
Chief Hawkins acte In the capacity of
attorney for the officer, and severely cross
questioned each witness for the prosecution
and several times questioned the Judge IN
matters relating TO the case.
THE CASE DISMISSED.
Immediately after the Municipal Court
c nvened this morning the case of Short VS..
Moore, was taken up. The witnesses for
the defence all testified that the officers at
tempting to arrest Brown would have sue
ceeded with considerable less trouble had
Short kept away. 1t was also shown that
Officer Moore had warned Short to keep his
hands off Brown, three times before hitting
him with black jack. The testimony for
the defence being all in, Officer Moore made
a statement after which Judge Cummins re-
viewed the testimony, saying In conclusion
that from the evidence there was no assault
and battery, as the blow was not struck
with malice and only to drive from the pris.
oner those who were interfering in the ar
rest of one who properly belonged in the
hall, and dismissed the case.

Private Confirmation OF the RumOr of His
Elevation.

Elevation.
Especial to Sunday Star1
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.-The story first
published In The Star to the effect that
Bishop Becker, of your city, was likely to
succeed the late Bishop Wood as head of the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia, appears to
have been confirmed by private information,
recently received here from Europe. A high
Catholic dignitary, who is In constant com
munication with well-informed sources In
Rome, at first refused to credit the
statement of Bishop Becker's probable
elevation, but he has, within the
past few days, quietly informed few per-
soDal friends that he has had reason TO
charge his mind, and that while he does
not regaad the appointment of Bishop
Becker as absolutely settled, yet he has
good reason to believe that the Pope has
almost determined upon his appointment,
and 1t will be officially announced in a
short time. Bishop Becker's scholastic at
tainments, and his conservative character,
and firmness of mind, were the qualities
which gained him favorable consideration
at Rome.
