memory of any tampering with the grave
stone though we know how the monument was
colored and recolorcd. This, though but negative
evidence tends to show that the gravestone now

Bringing Irish Paupers.

The steamship Furnessia, of the Anchor
line. which arrived in New York yesterday
from Liverpool, brought about 800 poor
Irish whose passage to this country had
been paid by tho British government.
These immigrants were subjected to a
rigid examination at Castle Garden, and
it was ascertained that five heads of
families had been inmates of the Harry
county workhouse, while others were
without money, and the majority of those
who had friends here had not been sent
for by them. The assisted immigrants on
the Furnessia contrasted very unfavorably
with those who came on the same vessel
but had paid ::their own passage. The
former were all warmly clad, but their
clothing was, as a rule, not as good as
that usually worn by Irish immigrants.
There were few able.bodied young men.
There were no persons who admitted being
over 70 years Ofage. but many of the men
and women looked inirm. The majority
of the assisted immigrants were women
and children. There were some single
women, but the great majority of tho adult
females had children with them. Some of
the people who were comparatively well
dressed stated that their clothing had been
given them by the poor guardians just
before they left home. The people stated
that they had been supplied with tickets
and drafts by the clerk of the board of
poor guardians at Che1siveen, county
Kerry. They were sent from there to
Valencia, where the steamship Furnessia
callesl aud received them on board.

The enthusiasm during the game was
very great and both clubs We're loudly ap
plauded for their fine playing. The score
would do credit to any professional club
and better playing is seldom seen. The au
dience was composed largely of prominent
citizens who were delighted with the play
ing as we'll as the excellent order, and
Saturdays sport has given tho Ironsides \
rise in the estimation Of the ctizons of
the town. The Fishers were sadly dis
appointed at the result of the game, but
were highly pleased with their treatment
by tho players and the audience. The
umpiring of Mr.. Speecs was fair and i'm
partial.

A Large Audisnce and Excellent 0ams-
Good Playing Thsoushout-The
Lancaster Boys Winners.
Probably the finest game of baseball
ever witnessed in this city took place on
Saturday, between the Harvey Fisher club
of Duucannon and the Ironsides of this
city, on the new grounds of the latter
club. The weather was quite warm, but
it did not prevent large audience from
being present. Between 500 and 600 peO-
pie paid at the gates besides the very largo
number of ladies who were present, having
been admitted free, and the persons who
are holders Of season tickets. The visit
ing club were offered the choice of um
pires, but as they had no one with them
to serve they agreed that Alfred Specie,
who is ono of the managers of the Iron
sides, should fill the position. The game
was called at hall. past three, the visitors
going to the bat and it was played very
rapidly. Both mines played remarkably
we'll and in the first six innings none of the
players got farther than third base. Appel,
Of the college club, played left field for the
strangers and fly catch which he made
after run and fall in the second inning
was one of the best plays Of the game.
Schiller, who formerly played with tho
Millersvilles club, is tho pitcher of the
Harvey Fishers he played a fine game,
delivering ball very difficult to nit. Iu
the early part Of the game he took . hot
liner and shortly afterwards picked up
grass cutter near first base putting the
runner OUT. He was we'll supported by
Foster, the catcher. Zecher, the Iron
sides catcher, covered himself with glory
by his fine playing and the balls that
20 l.:
pitcher, delivers strong ball
which the visitors found it difficult
to hit. In two innings six of that
team were put out on strikes, Zscher TAX
ing every ball. In the seventh inning,
Winters of tho Fishers, made a heavy hit
and managed to reach home on errors Of
the Ironsides, and good batting of his own
club. This was the first run scored in the
game, and the only one made by the visitors.
The Ironsides failed to score in this inning.
In the eighth inning, Appel of tho Fishers.
made a strong hit. and reached third base
on an error. He was left there, however,
as the next three men went out on strikcs
The IrOnsides then took the bat and. after
two hands were out, Miles made
q tremendous hit to right field on
which he made second base. Hardy
knocked a pretty fly which was muffed by
Barnett, the short stop OF the visiting
club. Miles got home with tho first run,
Sweitze- made heavy hit to right field
and reached second base bringing Hardy
homo. He got in himself by bat Of
Zecher. That was the last run made. as
the next striker was put out. In tho next
inning the visitors were retired in one, two,
three order and the Ironsides, who were
| ahead did not take their last bat. The
score, giving the outs and runs of each man,
was as follows

AIT EMPTED RAPE.

"A Man vioIeatIy Assaults IL LIttIo Girl
Lewis Kershbom, mildIe-aged Ger
man, who is said to reside somewhere in
the vicinity of Mountvilie, has been
arrested upon serious charge. 1t is
alleged that Oh Saturday evening he VIC
lenty assaulted, with the intention of COM
mitting rape, Celia Spangler, an eight year
old daughter of John Spanaler, who re-
sides on Columbia avenue. The man was
seen several times in tho vicinity Of Mr..
Spangler's house on Saturday. He spoke
to several little girls ard asked them to 60
into yards with him. In the evening he
again appeared at the house of Mr.. Span
gler, whose wife and the children were
sitting out front. The man asked where
Conrad MOser (whose house is on the
other side of the avenue) lived, and said
he would like Mrs. Spangler's little girl
to show him where tho housc was. Not
noticing that the man had been drinking
nor suspecting that anything was wrong,
Mrs s. told the little girl to accompany
him. AS the little child did not return
Immediately tho mother went in search
of her. At Moser's she found no one at
home, and knowing that the family were
relations of Gotleib Metzgar, 4 few doors
farther up, she went there. When near
the house she called for her little girl, who
ran out of the yard, crying loudly, and
she could scarcely speak. She said that
the man had induced her to 60 into Metz
gar's yard, none of tho family being at
home, and after throwing her upon the
ground attempted to outrage her. The
noise made by her mother in calling
frightened the man, who jumped over a
fence as soon as liberated the girl ran to
her mother. She had been badly choked
by the man.
Complaint was made against Kershbom
before Alderman McGlinn and officers
for him for several hours. He
was finally caught at the depot and
locked up for hearing to morrow after
noon. Tho prisoner is over six feet tail
and has sandy whiskers. He is unmarried.
The girl is weak and delicate looking and
she is greatly affected by tho fright
