Joined the Reading Actives and will play

At meeting of the directors of the Active
base ball club of Reading, Monday, Samuel
j, Fields resigned as manager of the club,
and Boyle, first baseman, was elec6ed
manager. Larkins was e.ected captain TO

Boyle, and Lands, pitcher, was elected
assistant captain.

Three men were inju in the Philadel-
phia- Detroit game yesterday, two by col
liding, and John Manning by being struck
by ball from the pitcher.
The unexpected defeat of the Athletics by
the Brooklyn team is thus excused by dis
patch to the Philadelphia Times: "The
Athletics came on the field confident of sue
cess. Near the end Of the fifth inning the
score stood at to 2 against them, the
Brooklyns playing a strong batting and
fielding game. In the sixth iunning Doyle's
knee gave out and then the VISITORS began
to score. In the seventh, seeing
defeat inevitable, the captain of the Athle-
tics, kicked against the umpire and was
about to withdraw bis men, when informed
that unless they finished the game they
would have no money. He then went on
with the contest. Stovey's errors In the
later part Of the contest proved costly.
In the Merritt Columbus game, at Cam
den, yesterday, Emslie pitched and the home
club hit freely and tielded finely and won
clearly on their merits. After the third In
ming the deaf and dumb pitcher was taken
out of the box and Brown placed in that
position. Fennelly at short, Warner at
third and Householder at first made some
brilliant plays. The visitors played q mis-
cradle fielding game and were very weak at
the bat.

QUEEN VICTORiA's HEALTH
Severe DrOpsicaI symptoms Setting in and
Her Condition Unsafe


BosToN, June 5.-A cable dispatch from
the Herald's London bureau gives the state
ment of a correspondent who made it his
business to interview "well-known and in-
fuential member OF the inner court circle" in
relation to the Queens health He was iu-
formed that severe dropsicsl symptoms had
set in and that the Queens condition was
considered so unsafe that the doctors all
protested against her present journey to
Scotland. Tic only thing that caused them
to assent to her going was the fact that the
inability of her Majesty to get about since
the hurt of her leg has minimized her out
door exercises. This has been most sadly
missed, but il is thought the fresh
air of Balmoral will to a great de-
gree make up for it. The immediate
result of this cessation of outdoor
life has been fit aitertit of serious depression.
The melancholia has frightened the doctors,
and, added to the morbidity of the system,
is causing all who know to anticipate at no
very distant date at least the fear of the
Queen being confined confirmed invalid to
her own bed.

THE BRIDGE DISASTER.
The Trustees Found Reprehensible In Not
Having the Bridge Properly POliced,


New YORK, June 5.-The BROOKLYN
bridge disaster inquest was continued this at
ternoon. William G, Kingsley, acting pres
ident of the bridge trustees, was witness.
He testified that there were so per cent. peo-
pie less on the bridge at the time
of the accident than on previous
days. There were more police Off
GERS there on that day than had
ever been contemplated by any one of
the committee. All the policemen In the
city could not have stemmed the tide of hu-
manity that rushed over the stairway The
people would not obey the officers but were
absolutely crazed with fear. If the bridge
were to be built over again it
might be made more eommodious
in view of recent experience
After further testimony the coroner's jury
found that "the death of the victims re-
suited from suffocation, by being trampled
upon," and they found the "officers and
trustees reprehensible in not having the
bridge properly policed." 1t was recon.
mended that the accommodations for foot
passengers be improved.
