WEhave a blood curdling story from
New Jersey of schooner flying black
flag, and filled with men, that was chased
by steamer towards the shore, but
which sank suddenly just outside the
breakers. The weather is hot and news
is scarce but it is not a sufficient rea
son for introducing us to pirate story
on SO shallow foundation. If it should
be explained that the schooner had
sprung leak and was being run ashore;
and that the steamer was standing by
her, since the sea was too high to rescue
her crew in boats, the mystery would
not be great, barring the black flag but
then some people are color blind, and the
good gentleman who discovered the
black flag may have in fact been looking
et . red one.

son witnessed the third game of ball
between the Ironsides and the Mantuas, of
on Saturday and the home
team won for the second time this season.
The game was not brilliant one by any
means, nor was it very we'll played, as
both sides had too many errors. The
two new men, Jones, q catcher, and Ham,
was tho first time that Jones ever caught
for HofioId and taking that into consider
alton he showed up we'll behind the bat,
scored on passed balls. He is q big
muscular looking man, a good thrower to
second and with practice will no doubt fill
the position we'll. He did good work at
the bat. Hammitt had but little to do,
enough to be taken, Foster was suffering

at the bat and scored three runs of the
whole number. There were number of
changes in the Mantua nine since their
last appearance here and were probably
somewhat weaker. The man who was to
have caught for them did not come along
and Omstead, fielder and good general
player, consented to 60 behind the bat,
where he played very we'll for man
unused to the position. His passed balls,
however, were disastrous to the clubs
success. In the sixth inning he was
severely injured he was running to second
base and, knocking Sixsmith down, one
knee of the latter struck him in the
stomach, injuring him severely. He was
assisted from the field and after lying off
for one inning resumed his position behind
the bat. Latta pitched for the visitors in
his usual effective style and his balls were
found very hard to hit. Bradley played we'll
at third as did Deveney at short and Miller
at first. There was some bad throwing
and fumbling of balls by both mines, and,
the visitors were allowed to get two men
to first who finally scored the two first
runs on balls which should have been
fielded in better style, by the homo team.
AS the game progressed the IrOnsides
seemed to improve in their fielding and
played much better in the latter part of
the contest. The batting was good. The

terson delivered his charge, instructing
them in their duties in and out of their
rooms. He stated that there arc now 10
persons in Jail awaiting trial. As the
smallpox has been raging in that institu.
tion, the court last week asked the physi-
clan to make thorough examination Of the
prisoners and ascertain if any of those
down for trial were suffering from con-
tagious diseases. On Saturday he received
word from the physicicn that none of the
Prisoners had any such disease. His honor
further spoke Of the smallpox and the
privilege the grand jury had in recon-
mending the construction of hospital for
patients with such diseases. He told how
the disease had developed in this city the
city and county authorities had done all in
their power to prevent the spread of the
disease. The directors of the poor are in
favor of the construction of hospital, but
they await tho recommendation or disap-
proval of the grand jury. The court has
learned that within the past few
days two new cases of this disease
have made their appearance in this
city. One of the patients is very poor

commissioner, who is a physician, ap-
pointed by the city, on Saturday attended

asked them to furnish transportation for

Mr.. John Malone was umpire of the
game and made his decisions with his
usual promptness. Only one of them
was questioned, and that was when q
runner of the visiting club was declared
out at second base, while it was claimed
that he had not been touched by the base
man. If the decision was wrong it was of
course an unintentional error. 1t, however,
did not affect the game of any account.
Mr.. Malone has shown by his work in
three games to be the best umpire who has
yet been on the ground, and be should be
kept in tho position if possible.
1t seems that the crowds at the last few
games played with Philadelphia clubs have
been much noisier than ever before. On
Saturday good many of the hoodlum
element were present and insisted upon
yelling at and guying the visiting nine.
This conduct was altogether uncalled for,
as the members of the Mantua club be
haved themselves like gentlemen and
should have been treated as such. The
small boy who comes in on foul ball, or
in some other manner succeeds in witness
ing the game for nothing, is generally tho
worst One fault that is common often
with the older people is that of yelling at
the members OF the mines and telling them
how to make their plays. If they will
only keep their mouths shut the captain of
the club and the members will see that the
work is done as we'll as it can be.

slight addition to the records Of the times in
which he was an actor A simpler and per-
haps sufficient reason may be found in the
cast of his mind and his earlier career. His
genius was logical rather than original He
was lawyer rather than q statesman. His
views were such as resulted from bis con-
struction of the compact between the States,
and his nature would not permit him to
change or modify his course to accommodate
his associates. Ia December, 1850, he sue
ceeded Gen. Cass as Secretary of State. This
was virtually the end of his official late. The
Republican Senate did not act upon his nom-
ination as Justice of the Supreme Court. and
he did not serve out his term a member of
the Constitutional Convention OF Penn
sylvabia of 1873 Subsequent to his
membership in the cabinet, however. he
was most distinguished advocate in cases,
some Of which involved immense properties,
and others which will ALWAYS be conspicuous.
In the New Almedon Quicksilver Mining
Company's case his opponents were Charles
O'Conor and Judah p. Benjamin, ard his fee
is said TO have been one of the largest ever
earned in America. Ia the Reconstruction
act litigation he was leading figure, and was
an associate Of President Garfield in the case
which protects q citizen against trial for
treason.
His best friends could not call Mr.. Black
handsome, but he had a sturdy frame. erect
carriage, expressive eyes, and a ruddv,
healthy complexion. He was a great social
favorite. In 1865 his right arm was perma-
nently disabled in railway accident Thus
his earlier autographs are different from those
of after years. He had two sons and two
daughters, Mrs. Skunk (afterward Hornsby)
and Mrs. Clsyton.-N Y. Times.

FOREIGN NEWS.
HOUSE or conaoss.


LONDON, Aug. 81.
A lively discussion was caused in the Com
mons this afternoon in regard to the case OF
Shaw. the British missionary in Madagascar
who is held in custody by the French. Glad
stone warmly declared that he had no reason
to believe that there had been an excess OF
jurisdiction exercised by the French in the
arrest of Shaw, and said it was certainly a
serious matter, and it would be the absolute
duty of the government to carefully watch
esents in Madagascar.
He was unable to say when or where the
court martial of Shaw would be held! The
discussion of the affair, he said, was calcu-
lated to impair the good will and amity ex-
listing between England and France.
This remark was received with cheers.
Continuing, Gladstone said there was no
reason to presume that friendly or civilize d
governments would hack elementary princ1-
Piles of justice towards imprisoned foreign
subjects. He was not aware that Admiral
Pierre had thrice refused to allow Mrs. Shaw
to see her husband, Notwithstanding the fact
that she had been absent from him two years
He would inquire further into the matter.
Notice was given of several questions to
be submitted tomorrow in connection with
the case of Shaw.
