Baseball Notes.
Anson, captain of the Chicago league
nine, has always had a theory that it is
very advantageous to tho side at bat to
have runner at third base, believing that
1t makes the pitcher more anxious and
insures the batsman better balls.
In the closing game Of Chicago with
Philadelphia, when in the beginning Of the
ninth inning tho scoro stood six to one in
favor of Philadelphia. Anson put his
theory into practice. On reaching third
base he was given two opportunities to
score which he rel I'D, dscming that tho
chances for batting streak were greatly
improved by having runner on third.
This plan of action, of course, wouid not
be pursued in close game, but only
when the chances are desperate.

Hunt 1t Down.

Indee Bir6salI, of Connecticut, an
old and very reputable and active Dem
ocrat. declares anew that General Han
cocks defeat for the presidency was due
TO the direction given by Mr.. Tilden to
his friends to secure that end. Hancock
was beaten by the loss Of the vote of New
York by a narrow majority, and Judge
Birdsall names eleven counties controlled
by eight friends Of Mr.. Tilden where the
Democratic loss was 1874. He also
saws that one of Mr.. Tilden's friends
told him at the national Democratic
committee rooms on the morning OF
October q, 1880, the substance OF direc-
tions he had received the day before
from Mr.. Tilden to strive for the defeat
of Hancock, and that he further told
him where the nefarious work would he
done.
These charges are not new, but they
are entitled to attention afresh as now
made by responsible and disinteresteu
Democrat, who may be mistaken, but
who honestly believes what he says
There are great many people who Will
incline to believe that there is substan-
tial truth in Judge Birdsall's allega'
tions, if they are not fully met and con
tradicted by Mr.. Tilden. They are
brought forward now in shape which
requires that astute politician to meet
them. Mr.. Tilden has during his life
been the object of great many charges
of one kind or another, which have been
disposed of in such way as to leave
large portion of the community in con-
siderable doubt as TO what kind OF
a fellow he is anyway. The Dem.
ocratlc party naturally inclines to
think very well Of him, since he
was once their candidate and the
rank and file are not very ready to admit
that he can he anything but a very good
man to have occupied that exalted posi-
ton among them. They will be disposed
to consider that he could by no meals
he SO mean as to seek to compass the de-
feat of Hancock, Il Democratic candl-
date who was nominated over him, ard
whose election would deprive Mr.. Tilden
of all hope of ever being again presi
Dental candidate. He had that sub
stantial aim to accomplish by Hancock !
defeat, it is true, but the Democracy
generally, who Grce voted for Tilden sc
solidly, will be very far indeed from
an inclination to believe that he could dc
80 very despicable Z thing. Yet there
are many Democrats who have been
taught by observation of Mr.. Til
den's character and career to doubt
whether he is really above tine meanness
ascribed to him and if Mr.. Tilden de
slres anything like unanimous Demo
cratic accord in a continued singing ol
his virtues it will behOove him to he ul
and striving, to show that he was thu
friend and by no means the assassin o
Hancock in 1880 We have an idea thai
Mr.. Tilden considers that he is in condi
tion to enter himself for the next presi
Dental race but even though he il
without this ambition he will want t.
enjoy the unanimous esteem of the part.
which once elected him to the presi
dency and to do that he will need t.
bring Judge Birdsall to book on his
charges.

delphia hospital. Although none Of the
party would or could speak English. it
finally transpired that on Friday at mid
night awful shrieks had been heard from
the small frame cabin occupied BY the wife
and children of Ivan Wiotowski. The
husband had either deserted his family or
wandered away to search for work. The
cabin was found in flames, the six year old
boy burned to an armless, legless trunk,
the mother rolling in agony in the sand
and tho eight year old daughter crisped to
unconsciousness.
The mother was beautiful young Jew.
ess of twenty. eight years of age, her long
black hair was singed over her shoulders,
her eyes fixed in q mad delirium. She
would say nothing of the cause Of the
fire. Tho neighbors can or will give no
explanation. There are Russian Jews
from this colony now begging through the
vicinity. One of these hints that the
woman sacrificed herself, another init
mates that the neighbors were unfriendly.
1t seems that these people are many of
them given over to degrading superstitions.
Their belief in witches closely resembles
the vOudOoism of the African blacks. Mrs.
Wiotowski was driven to desperation by
hunger and she did not make her wants
known to the outside inhabitants of Estell
vile, many of whom are humane and intel
ligent people, that being a very old Jer-
sey settlement.
The same terrible silence was preserved
by the mother. After lying on the hard
bench in the railway station for seven
hours, Sunday morning the little girls
tortured life went out. Tho mother was
removed to the house of q man named
Smith Spence, where she lies at the point
of death. All efforts to draw from her
any solution of tho shadow overhanging
the midnight burning seem unavailing.
Gen. Burbridge is said to be the one whose
refusal of southerner's challenge in
Washington about year ago excited such
favorable newspaper comment. The colo
nists seem shiftless and densely stupid.

A special dispatch this afternoon to tho
INTELLIGENCER from York says: Chas.
Davis and Edward Wilson, who were con-
fined in the York Jail since last March,
awaiting trial on three indictments for
larceny, broke Jail this morning between
two and three O'Clock. They sawed the
bolt off the door of their cell, then got
into the kitchen, when they sawed of bar
over a window, and got on the roof.
They lowered themselves to the ground
by means of q rope made of their

discovered until six o'clock this morning.

hunting them up no clue to their whero-

in religious worship is towards ritualisn

sects and that the tendency to-day is strong

pare in number with the Baptists or the
Methodists, but its influence on non.
commandments, who prefer its worship, is
asserted to be much greater.
How mighty results from little causes
grow is we'll illustrated in a few bits of
unwritten history concerning the annexa-
ton of Texas to the United States. The
republic had twice applied in 1s43 for
admission to the Union, and been twice
rejected. England and France for obvious
reasons were anxious that the Lone Star
state should remain independent, and
when the United States rejected her pro-
posals these powers interviewed to forever
prevent annexation. A treaty embracing
Texas, England, France and the United
States was soo1 projected in which the
independence of Texas was the essential.
feature. Both foreign powers also prom.
ised not to interfere with slavery in the
new republic. The president of Texas,
Samuel Houston. on receipt of the terms
of the treaty. promptly signified to his
secretary of state, Anson Jones, his assent
thereto. and instructed him to forward to
Ashbel Smith, the Texas charge d'afairs in
France, his orders to conclude the diplo.
matte act on the terms proposed. Instead
of so doing tho secretary sent Smith a
leave Of absence to return to Texas. These
facts are related by Smith himself in an
address before the historical society of
Galveston in 1875. There is little doubt
that if the presidents order had been
obsyed, the psople would have ratified the
treaty. involving as it did, foreign recog
