Ancient history of base ball: We read great deal at present upon the first base man, second base man and third base man, and also the short stop man, and 1t occurs to us that Cain was prob ably the original first base man, Judas Iseariot second and Nero third, while the Wandering Jew may be regarded as the original short stop. for he never made anything but short stop wherever he went.

A Mothers Crime.

Horrible Stories.

SAN Francisco, October 4.-Let-
tiers now being received from Guany-
mas ana other points in Mexico show
that not hall the truth has been told
OF the ravages of yellow fever in those
unfortunate cities. One received
to-day from George Treat, a we'll
known pioneer Of California, better
known as the owner of the famous
race horse Thad Stevens, dated Mo-
ryatiau, saws: In order to give some
idea of the violence of the scourge

died, including prima donna, Per

in two weeks more only five of the
original were left living. Medical
men were all sick and two OF them
died. The victims were buried has
tily and unconffined. Three hours
is the usual interval between death
and burial. For the last week the
deaths have not averaged more than
twenty II day. The disease is, how
ever, sweeping the interior towns
like wildfire. The courts are al!
closeed and the judges have fled
beyond the jurisdiction of yellow
jack. The spread of the disease is
believed TO be largely due to the ig-
norance displayed by the physicians
as to the character of the fever"
Fireman Johnson, one of the five
yellow fever patients aboard the
steamer Newbern, died to-day. The
quarantine officer took off to the
vessel metallic coffin filled with
charcoal The body will be placed
IN it, hermetically sealed and buried
in an untrequented part outside the
city limits. The second officer has
also taken bad turn, and doubts of
his recovery are entertained. The
remaining three are still doing well.
No new cases have developed ON the
steamer, nor has the disease made
It's appearance on land. The quar-
antine officers have taken every pre-
caution. If the weather continues
as cool as at present there is no dan
ger of 1t ever getting foothold in

An Urban Hermit.

New York, October 4.-Dr. Philip
/. Jones, wealthy miser OF eccentric
habits, was found dead in the bath
room OF his house in Brooklyn, yes
terday. He was at one time ply
sieian of considerable prominence,
but, some say, no human being has
been allowed to go inside his resi-
dence for years.
He was seventy years of age and
is reported to have been worth over
100000. He lived a life of utter
seclusion from the time his wife died,
his closest companion never crossing
his door step. Rumor always had
it that the place was fitted up with
spring guns and explosives, so that
it was dread to all who knew him.
In the hall way after his death was
found a large number of wires and
cords mysteriously arranged, so that
in any room of the house DR.. Jones
could either open or close the doors
by the use of these wires. He had
also on electric apparatus connected
with every door knob, by which a
thief or an intruder could, at his
will. be paralyzed, so to speak. 1t
was found that he died of rheuma-
tism of the heart. His effects were
taken in charge by the authorities.

Major Nickcrson's Whereabouts.

WASHINGTON, October 6.-The
whereabouts of the notorious Major
Nickerson have been ascertained.
He is residing in Thorold Canada
Upon this information being receiv-
ed the Secretary of War ordered him
te proceed at once to Washington
and report in peron. An answer
was received from him yesterday in
which he declined to obey the order.
He defies the authorities feeling
sure he cannot be extradited. No
further action has been taken in the
matter but in all probability he will
be dropped from the army as ade-
serter. He has reported a false ad-
dress to the department disobeyed
General Sherman's orders not to
leave Washington and now refuses
to obey the Secretary's order.

\ Ihfe for u Life.

PITrsBURG, October flames Nc
Steen was hanged this morning in
the yard of the county Jail. The ex-
ecution was conducted quietly, and
was witnessed by two hundred per
sons. The doomed man retired ear
ly and slept all night. At . O'Clock
this morning he rose and after maxi
ing 4 careful toilet partooll ofa near
tv breakfast, He was visited later by
two Sisters of Mercy and his spirit
ual adviser, Father Ward. None of
his relatives put in an appearance.
At eleven o'clock he left his cell for
the scaffold, attended by Father
Ward and the Sheriff. He walked
erect, and ascended the scaffold with
firm step When asked if he had
anything to say, he replied No.
The cap was then placed over his
head and his hands were tied. AT
12:05 the trap was sprung and in the
fall his neck was broken. In eight
minutes he was pronounced dead.
The crime for which he suffered the
highest penalty of the law was uxor-
eide. On the evening of June 8,
1882, he sent his little boy out of the
house under some pretense, and
when the little fellow returned he
found his mother dying on the floor,
with her skull crushed in and a
bloody AK lying beside her. His faith
er had fled, but was arrested the
same night. When the trial came
up, it was clearly shown that he had
committed the deed, and he was
convicted

Horrible Tragedy.

LAREDO, TEXA:, October 4.-De-
tails of horrible tragedy at Lam
pasas, Mexico, have been received
here. Antonio Valdez, wife, and
five children, the eldest ten and the
youngest two years, lived on a
rancho near that point. The wife
was subject to fits of mental abera-
ton. During the absence of her hus-
band she was attacked with fit of
unusual severity and grabbed a huge
butcher knife and massacred her
children, killing them in rapid sue
cession. Suddenly taking parting
look at the dead before her, she
plunged the knife into Der own
heart, reeled to the corner of the
room and fell dead.

HoN. JEROME B. NILES, in his
speech before the House last week,
gave proof that his selection as one
of the standard bearers of the Repub-
lican party was most judicious. His
presentation of the apportionment
case was most able and without a
show of passion or prejudice. His
mass of facts and figures, are an ar
gument for the immediate adjourn
ment of the Legislature, which will
be found unanswerable. In nothing,
however, is he more forcible than in
his showing of the rank inequality
of the Democratic apportionment
bill. After showing that both par
ties are essentially agreed as to the
Senatorial apportionment in forty
five counties, he turns to the remain
ing twenty-five counties. Their pop
ulation is .34,3S2. Ten of these
counties give Democratic majorities
and twelve are Republican. The
population of the ten Democratic
counties is 331,132; that of the
twelve Republican counties, 393, $50,
a Republican majority Of G2, ,11S. Yet
under the Democratic scheme of ap-
portionment, the Democrats would
be given seven Senators and the Re
publicans but three. Under the Re-
publican bill, these twenty-five
counties would give the Republicans
six Senators and the Democrats four.
There has been no truer, no strong
er presentation of the case with
which TO go before the people Of the
State. 1t sweeps away the special
pleadings of the Gordon's of the ad-
ministration and shows the voters
the plain cold facts in all their eX-
pensive unsightliness. 1t proves as
clearly as facts and figures may the
narrow partisanship ofthe Governor
and the selfshness of his admins
tration, which has burdened the
people with the costs of this worse
than worthless extra session. The
people now know why the Legisla-
ture does not adjourn. The Demo
Gratis dare not go to the people on
their record.

NEXT Tuesday evening, October
10th, the campaign will be opened
in this county with mass meeting
at the Court House. Let every Re-
publican turn out and hear the is
sues of the day discussed. Nothing
but apathy on the part of the Repub-
hcans can prevent the overwhelming
success of the State ticket at the
coming election. The meeting will
be addressed by our candidate fer
Auditor General, Jerome B. Niles,
and every effort should be made by
the Republicans to make the first
gun of the campaign a big one.

As there has been much inquiry
and no little misunderstanding upon
the subject, it may be as well to ex-
plain that the United States Gov
eminent has made no arrangements
for redeeming the three cent stamps.
They will be recognized when used,
but they will not be bought back.
This may seem a little unreasonable
at first, but it is nothing more than
fair. The public has had ample
notice of the reduction of postage,
and people who bought more three
cent stamps than they aould use be-
fore October /, cannot blame any
one else than themselves. 1t is not
as though the Government were un-
der any obligation, moral or other
wise, TO redeem these stamps. they

service they will still command.

The only danger to the Republi-
can ticket this year, lies not in a de-
ficiency in numbers but in a possi-
bility of voters not going to the polls.
There is a large class of Republicans
who are willing to 90 forth to vote
on great occasions-when President
is to be made or a Governor elected
but allow smaller political issues
TO take care of themselves. The
Democrats, who are always on the
alert for snaps, never fail to improve
an opportunity to catch the Republi-
can party mapping. Every Republi-
can vote in the county should be
polled in order to swell the aggre-
gate on the State ticket.

THE burning of the building of
the Pittsburg Exposition Society,
with all its valuable contents, is a
very unfortunate affair. The expo
sition, from small beginnings, had
grown TO be one of the great attrac-
tons of the Smoky City to people
for hundreds of miles from that busy
place; and its destruction will be a
real loss to the many who have en-
joyed its rare sights and profited by
Its marvellous commercial and me.
chanical displays. Already, before
the ashes of the building and its con-
tents are fairly cold, the Pittsburg
people are taking measures looking
to the erection of larger and better
buildings. In this they are display
ing a pluck and energy that will
certainly command success. This.
however. is only what was to be ex-
pected from clear headed business
men, who fully appreciate the COM
mercial and industrial importance
of such exhibitions. They under
stand how powerfully they promote
the advancement Of the industries
and the exchange of products, end
they believe that in rebuilding the
Exposition they are making good
business investment.
