BASE BALL YESTERDAY.
A CLOSE SHAVE FOR THE
CLEVELANDS.
A VERY EXCITING CONTEST
Yesterday a Day for One-sided Scores
The Athletic Play With the PhiIadeIphia
and Make Score of I3 to 8.

The Cleveland League club met with
surprise party yesterday afternoon and came
near suffering defeat at the hands OF the
lowest team in the Interstate. The only
reason they can offer for wiuning the game
is that Sawyer, their left hand pitcher, who
acted as umpire, gave them the game by his
"oliness" on Pyle's balls and strikes, and
his decision of a foul ball In the ninth in
ming won the game for the Cleveland. The
home team played q splendid game, and the
Clevelands did some magnificent playing
and did all there was in them. The game
opened with the Clevelands at the bat, and
hotaling led off with hit and Glasscock
and York followed him. By the
sharp fielding of the home team but one
was enabled to score. In the fourth and
fifth innings the Cleveland scored three runs
by the aid of hits and an error. The Quick
| step in their half of the fifth led off with q
two base hit by Pyle and Kienzel advanced
him base by another hit and Benners
brought both home by a three base hit
which fairly sent the audience wild with ex-
citement. The crowd yelled and screamed
with delight and when Benners scored on a
passed ball the excitement knews no bounds.
The score wos now 5 to In the home teams
favor and both sides played a magnificent
fielding game until the ninth inning. Daley
came to the bat and drove a ball
right inside the right field foul line, about
two feet outside, Snyder caught 1t on q
bound and thinking sure that his man was
out did not hurry back to his base. The
umpire declared the ball stair" and DAILY
took two bases. Hotaling their next batter
went out on fly and Gasscock sent Daily
to third on hit. Phillips, the next batter,
was clearly out on strikes but he was
allowed to stay until he hit the ball and
brought both men home. Sharp fielding
| then put the next two men out. For the
home mines half of the inning, Kienzal
reached first on seven balls, and the crowd
was all excited when Benners came
| TO the bat and drove one
away out to left field corner, but York had
been laying for him, and after long run
| captured it. The home team failed to score
after this, as both Hoover and Albert went
out. The pitching of Pyle and the catching
| of Cusick was splendid, and they worked
excellently together. Rckley made some
beautiful third-base plays and several won-
derful stops. Albert played an excellent
game at short Kienzel made three good
catches at centre field and Snyder took
| everything that came his way. York at
| left made some marvellous catches and
Glasscock's covering of short was superb.
| The Clevelands are wonderful thrOwers and
beautiful fielders. The crowd Of about 400
people was wild with enthusiasm during the
enti game and left convinced that the
home team can play ball almost as we'll as
some Of the League teams. The score fol-

THE LOST CHARLIE ROSS.
Ex- Councilman Logan Declares That He
Can Produce the Missing Boy.

philadelphia Times.]
Fifty or sixty curious people gathered last
evening in the hall of the Assembly Build
ing, Tenth and Chestnut, to hear Ex-Coun
Gilman James Logan explode the "Great
Ross Bubble" After some preliminary
practicing on the piano by young lady in a
bright red basque, who apparently labored
under the delusion that the "Maidcn' s
Prayer" had never before been heard by any
of the audience, Mr.. Logan appeared in
evening costume and announced himself as
man who never asked any fayors OF
anybody, but always was ready to grant
them to everybody. Therefore, he would
not be disappointed IL his lecture did not
produce the desired effect upon the minds ol
his hearers, because for nine years he had
been laughed at and called crank. He
did not care about such trifiing matter, for
he had sworn to unravel the Charlie Rosf
mystery and he would do so, crank or nc
crank, ii it took him his lifetime.
Mr.. Logan then proceeded TO unfold the
results OF his researches In q rambling dis
course, which lasted over two hours and In
which he repeatedly charged that Charlie
Ross had been stolen by his father, Christian
X. Ross. At the close Of his address Mr.
Logan asked his audience and infuentia
men OF Philadelphia TO back him up will
their influence, SO that he could obtain
requisition from Governor Pattison to brint
Charlie Ross and his present captor from st
Louis, where they are now living, to thi
city. This he declared he could do within
| 80 days.

Tuesday in Middletown by Deputy United
States Marshal on the charge of selling
liquor without having paid the United
States tex, was given a preliminary hearing
yesterday before Commissioner Smith.
The only witness examined was Deputy
Collector OF Internal Revenue I. J.. Adkins.
lie testified to hearing the complaint about
the prisoner selling liquor Illegally and he
at once took steps toward capturing him.
lie went down to the ncighborhood last
July, and, while hunting around for the
bin, he came across man by the name OF
Willis or Chears, who was acquainted with
the road to the cabin. The witness asked
the man to show him the way to the cabin,
as he wanted to trade horses with the pris-
oner. The man finally consented to go with
the witness. Upon arriving at the cabin,
Wood was not home. After some parlcy,
he purchased a pint of whisky from the
woman who passes as the prisoners wife.
After some persuasion he induced the
man Willis to take a drink from
the bottle. Tho witness then disclosed
who he was, when Willis threw up his hands
and exclaimed that he was dono for, as ii
Wood ever found out that he had piiotcd
the witness there, that he would shoot him
some night, and 1t would never be found
out who did it. The Deputy Collector
waited around the hovel for some time, and
was finally rewarded by seeing Wood. He
Immediately charged him with selling
liquor contrary TO law. Wood de-
MED the charge at first but at last ad-
mitted It, and inquired how much was the
penalty, aud was told $3.50. OF this
amount he paid 81 promising to pay the re-
mainder, which he has not done. This con-
| cluded the testimony and the prisoner was
held for a further hearing until Marshal
McMullin, who is down in the forest hunt
ing witnesses, returns with them.

is advised.
GEO. D. CLELAND.
In Mems Shoes much can
be said. The present genteel
style is the wide toe, of which
we're selling large numbers, is
particularly neat. Strange that
it should be so hard to get the
young men out of the habit of
wearing the narrow toed shoes
when they are virtually out OF
style. Bannister's shoes are
all made on the wide toe last.
They are the finest ready-made
shoe in the market and give
entire satisfaction. Stacy,

much sought after on account
of their cheapness combined
with their really good quality.

United States District Attorney Edward
Guthridge is the next victim marked for

yet been murdered can only be attributed to
the fact That he does not live in the town, and
has kept out of the way. AS soon as the ere

AsRURY UNIVERSITY.

In the various Methodist churches in this
city, tomorrow, a collection will be taken
up and subscriptions solicited to aid in secur-
ing the generous endowment rendered Asbury
University by w. C. De PAW, of New Albany.
The conditions, already familiar to the read
ing public, are briefly as follows: Mr.. De
PAW is to give $500, 900 in cash on condition
that $4,000 be raised by the general public
and friends of the university. This latter
sum is necessary to place the institution on
a paying foundation, which, owing to the
decreased rate of interest realized on its pres
ent endowment, is not now the case. In
other words, the current expenses of
the university have been greater than
its income The 100000 to be
given by Mr.. De PAW will be APP
piled at once to the erection of new and
needed buildings which will afford accom-
modations to the greatly increased number
of students that are certain to attend under
of $500, 900 would of itself be sufficient in
ducement to secure the half of that amount
from people throughout the State, but in
addition to this the liberal 1onor pledges the
half of his handsome fortune to the same
object on the event of his death. 1t cannot
be doubted that the conditions will be met,
and it is to be hoped that the Methodists of
this district will promptly assume the
portion allotted to them, which
is but $4,000 OF the whole sum-$150, 900
about 100000 have already been pledged,
leaving but $50, 900 more 10 secure. This
must be realized by the first of August at
which time Mr.. De Pauw will be ready to
comply with his portion of the agreement
The importance of this movement is too
plain to need argument, and anything like a
failure to raise the amount promptly would
be discreditable to the generosity of Indian
ians and to their friendlness toward educa-

CHURCH ATTENDANCE.

1t has become fashionable to disparage re-
ligion by asserting that the attendance upon
church services is constantly decreasing, and
sometimes even ministerial associations are
discussing the cause of this Some of them re-
member the times and places in which near
ly everybody of their immediate acquaint-
ance went to church. AS their field of vision
has enlarged, and they have become ac-
qaainted more with the ways of the world,
they imagine that this non-church-going is a
new thing, and they sound the alarm and in
quire with great solcitude why it is; while
non-church-goers imagine that because they
do not go to church there is no church worth
naming, and that, in few years, possibly be-
fore they die, and certainly soon after, there
will be no church at all. They lecture about
the church, and print about it with as much
were brand new. No better answer to all
this stuff whether found in ministerial asso-
Citations or in iconoclastlc papers or lectures,
or In the religious twaddle of grogshops,
need qbe presented than the figures
which statistics show In 1900 there
were but 100000 church communicates in
the United States, which was but per cent.
on population of $685. 4S3. In 1850 there
were but 1929, $685. which was only Is per
cent on apopulation of 81, 191, $40, the church.
going population having more than doubled
relatively. In 1870 there were 6,674, 1896
church COMMITMENTS, or II per cent. of the
population of 3s, 5SS371 In 1880 there were
10,065, 963; or nearly 81 per cent. of the popu-
lation of so, 152, 1866. In other words, the
church-going has increased three times as
fast as the population, Notwithstanding SO
large per cent. of the increase from immi-
grafton has been from the countries which
furnish so large per cent. of paupers and
criminals and infdels, with their avowed
hostility to churches and the Christian Sab
bath, These figures are worth studying by
saint and sinner.

OPENING THE CAMPAIGN.

Additional particulars of the assassination
of Judge Haughn, at Jefferson, Tex, men
ton of which has already been made IN the
Journal give an Importance to the occur
renee that it did not have as first stated.
Judge Haughn was assassinated not only
further reason that he was an important
witness against perpetrators of election
frauds. A credible witness, who withholds
his name for obvious reasons declares that
he is morally certain that the MUIR
der of the Judge was for the sole
purpose of depriving the government of the
the trial in the United States Court of the
Marion county election cases, and that the
men who committed the murder were some
OF the most respectable" citizens of
Marion county. now under criminal ac-
cusations for violating the election laws
OF the United States. But while many
are fully cognizant of these facts,
"those who know about the matter have too
much regard for their own lives to tell what
they know" The witness is of the opinion
that the enormties practiced in Mississippi,
the Carolinas, Louisiana, and other homes of
the ballot-box stuffer and the kuklux do not
compare with those now practiced in Marion
county, Texas. The county is given over to
condition of legalized lawlessness, the
sheriff, clerks OF courts, and the deputy sher-
formed themselves into a so called citizens
committee, who meet at stated intervals and
decide who is to be sacrificed. At their last
meeting Haughn's death, as a political ne
