Fined for Drunkenness.

Milwaukee Sentinel, July %: At the close
of the game yesterday President lVersen
made brief address to the local players, land
warned them against the evils of intemper-
ance. The boys seemed very much affected,
SO much so that Straub wiped his eyes with
Morrlssey's stocking by mistake, while Hogan,
who was engaged in his usual pastime of
tossing up pebbles, paused to listen. Presi-
dent Iversen's remarks referred to spree
which occurred Sunday night last, and by
way of fixing his counsel in the minds OF
his listeners, he imposed fine of $50 each
upon Straub, Morrissey, Behel, Sexton,
Hogan and Arundel. The amount of Moy-
nahan's fine for exceeding his leave of alb
sence had not been determined on, but it is
thought that it will be 500. Each man
fined was warned that in case he offended in
a similar manner again he would be sus-
pended without pay for the rest of the sea-
son.
Murphy and Roberts have been released.
Too many players the cause.
Manager Lotus, of Milwaukee, is now in
Peoria trying to make arrangements with
Porter, the remaining pitcher of the Bay
Citys. Porter, although not such good bat
ter and general player as Foutz, is a better
pitcher, and is regarded as the best curver in
the Northwestern league.
A dispatch from Peoria was received Tues
day evening stating that the Bay City club
had disbanded. The Evansville club will
probably take the place of the Bay Citys, and
will also take its rank in the championship
race, but it is doubtful if the Evansvilles can
maintain it. The Bay Citys should have
played at Milwaukee for four days, beginning
on Friday next.

The Cieyeland Passenger Var.


Notice has been sent out to all the roads
interested, to the effect that the passenger
war that ragged so fiercely few days ago from
Cleveland and Buffalo east, had come to an
END, and that consequently the regular rates
had been restored. At one time the strug-
gle became so fierce that it was evident that
if hostilities continued the war would extend
to all western points, and it became neces-
sary to the general managers to recognize
the condition of affairs, and put an end to it
by restoring rates. All the roads involved
have restored the rates without doubt, yet, in
some way the scalpers are selling tickets for
less than the regular rates. This seems strange
and not at all in accordance with the an
nouucement of the restoration of the rates.
AS the roads claim they are paying no com
missions on tickets to differential fare points
It's difficult to see how the scalpers can make
a reduction without the aid of some of the
roads. While a passenger war has been
stopped for the present, yet the indications
are that unless the east-bound passenger
pool is soon recognized new and more seri-
Gus troubles will arise. The temporary agree
ment to continue the old pool expires July
81. Owingto the backwardness OF the Grand
Trunk in preparing statistics and submitting
the conditions upon which it will join the
pool, it is not possible to enter into new
agreement BY that time. 1t is quite probable
that the old agreement will be extended I'M
til the end Of August, and if by that time the
Grand Trunk is not ready to join the pool
war on east-bound passenger rates is sure to
ensue, as without pool it will not be pos
sibe TO main tain regular rates.

A PROMIsCUOUS CROWD.
Including Women and Babies as Well
as DrunkardS and YagS.

1t was a muggy morning in the police
court, and everybody was in meeting mood,
but the calm figure of justice which balanced
the scales just as evenly as If the mercury
was not soaring in the pineties and occupy
ing the upper story of the thermometer. The
crowd was very promiscuous one; there
were bummers, Migrants, thieves, tramps,
DRINKS, knaves, and men, women and
babies There was blessed lot of the latter
and they were in arms, as were their mothers
who were on deck as principals or witnesses
in neighborhood quarrels.
Mrs, Kate Breslin was in court, and she
carried dainty lump of humanity several
months old. She had Kate Farrell arrested
for disorderly and she claims that the latter
hammered her door in and put her baby into
spasms. The csse was continued until to-day.
The other woman case was that of Mrs.
Mcmahon. She was arraigned on complaint
of Vim. Stewart, the charge being disorderly
and the row occurred over division fence.
She claimed that Stewart charged her with
burning her child and it was a bad kettle OF
fish throughout. She gave bonds to keep
the peace.
Thomas johnson is one of those peculiar
kind of cranks who see everything through q
jaundiced eye. He resides in the Polander
settlement, and he shot into shanty because
he was not feeling well and some children
were making noise. He was fined S25 or
thirty days.
John Carroll and James Kennedy were on
a tear Tuesday night, and they bombarded a
castle in Syede Hollow just for the fun OF
the thing. They were fined $40 or ten days
each.
John Carter looked like an old soldier. He
wore shutdown hat and his pants were
tucked into his boots. He had tackeled the
red eye and it had Knocked him out in the
first round. He paid five bills.
Sam Cohen, one of the children of Israel
runs hand-me-down stand on West Third
street, which the police fear is used as
fence. Be secreted a suit of stolen clothing
which got him into trouble. The case was
called yesterday and continued until the
Dist.
James Broderick, an old thief, was before
the court on the charge of highway robbery
On Tuesday evening he attacked an intoxt-
Gated Swede on the levee and robbed him OF
his coat and vest and some change. He was
arrested by Roundsman Murphy, and the
hearing was postponed until Saturday.

-Aileged Base Ball.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Referring to the base ball game at the West
Seventh Street park on Tuesday last between
the st. Paul and Fort Wayne clubs, it seemed
for professional players who were paid to play
ball, the men who composed the infield of the
local team were, with the exception of Hen
gle and O'Brien, the most unconcerned and
Indifferent individuals we ever saw in regu-
lar match game of ball. Brown is out of place
in first-class nine and is not possessed of
the right disposition for a good player. Foley
seems lost at short and should be rein stated
at third base, which he guarded in first
class style. He is too slow at
short, and it is quite noticeable that
he usually waits for the ball to
reach him instead of running up and ''meet-
ing it half way" By making change in
this direction he will avoid Coming in con-
tact with the base runner. It is wonder
when extraordinary material cannot be had
that Mr. Nettleton is ignored and Brown re-
tanned Nettleton can play short in accept
able style, and is fair batter. To be sure
he was unfortunate in one game at short
this season. but his playing last season is
sufficient to warrant him trial, since it is
season of ''trials'' for our nine. If the
management has neglected its duty to the
public, whose patronage has been unstinted
and generous, by losing IA glorious opportu-
nifty to secure few first-class men from
the Bay City team, it is open to
severe criticism. We have waited
patiently to hear from them and paid our
quarters and half dollars without complaint.
Tuesdays exhibition was sickening. The
Grand Stand'' accorded the loss of the
game to Hunters pitching. We beg to
differ with them and will wager that if he
had been supported by a catcher the result of
the afternoons play would have been diff
ferent. Another reason we did not win
our batting was miserable and the base run
ming worse. 1t is laughable to see a man
caught mapping at first base.
One noticeable feature of the usual game
in ST. Paul is the quietness which prevails
about the diamond when the home nine are
batting and the yelling of visiting
team when they have their turn at
| the stick. Mr.. Carroll seems to
be the only real enthusiastic and lively
player outside Of the battery. We admired
him coaching the base runners on Satur-
day last and it must be admitted that he was
host in himself in that game. 1t is gem
orally conceded that our nine cannot win a
game unless Foster and Camel constitute
the battery. The boys should not weaken in
this manner, and it is to be hoped that the
management will ere long give them en-
couragement by presenting another pitcher
and catcher.
Before closing we beg to ask if the st.
Paul Street Railway company cannot be in
duced to improve the outfeld by scraping
and rolling. PLAYER AND OBSERVER.

PLYMOUTH SPIRE SpLINIERED.
Lightning's Curious Freaks On Tues
day Evening.

SASJ AH' OAAAhS'
An electric bolt at $3.50 Tuesday evening
descended upon the spre of Plymouth church,
corner of Summit avenue and Wabashaw
street, during sharp shower, which caused
quite lively commotion among the inhabi-
tants in that section for few moments, who
evidently thought they were called for.
The lightning seems to have been attracted
to the spire by small iron ornament at its
summit evidently inviting the visit, but from
which leading to the earth there was
no conducting lightning rod. AS it was, the
bolt followed one of the large steeple timbers
some sixty feet In length to the bell tower,
which timber It literally hacked up into fine
chips, which strewcd the bell tower floor, and
of which no trace was left bigger than a
mans hand In the bolts passage to the
bell tower the covering of the spire on the
west side was entirely ripped out, with its
braces, and strewed on the roof, in the
yard front of the church, and for some dis
lance in the road bed on Summit avenue.
The covering on the north aud east sides of
the tower was also badly shaken up, and in
some places was left tapping In the breeze
like so many herding lath stalks, and the
whole tower will have to be generally over
hauled, and that portion on the west side re-
built.
The bolt, on reaching the bell without
touching the latter, appeared to have sepa-
rated into two parts, one of which punched a
big cannon ball hole foot square through
the east side of the bell tower and fled the
premises, while the other ripped down the
west eud of the tower, tearing off the cor
nices, and just as 1t reached the caves of the
main structure of the building, it took jump
of thirty feet to the earth at the west end and
entered the same, leaving quite hole TO
show the point of its departure.
There were no marks in the bell to show
that the bolt touched it, or upon a gas pipe
within foot of which it left
its ravagng works, and there were
no signs of any fire being
llndled by it. On the new part of the bull
ding on which the workmen had been
placing cave cutters the latter were removed
without leaving any trace of violence and in
places on the roof where workmen had been
soldering tin that day the solder was melted
and the tin left in place. The track of the
lightning shows that had there been a rod
leading to the earth from the little iron orna-
ment at the peak of the steeple that the bolt
would have taken that route to the earth and
have saved the church from 5000 to $500 ex-
penses for repairs. AS it was it was a
miraculous escape for the structure as the
splitting in two of the bolt in the bell tower
and its peculiar track of exit therefrom, in
stead of following the tower to the ground,
was curious freak and lucky one for Ply
mouth.

after His Hat.

zone day last week. said an Albany
shoe dealer. ''when was alone in my store,
a well-dressed stranger entered. He wore
white sdicer,' as the boys call it, which he
laid carefully upon counter near the door.
Then he asked me for pair of my very best
custom made lace shoes. A pair was soon
placed at his disposal. Seating himself, he
tried on the right shoe. This is a splendid
fit, he said, but my feet are each of another
size Let me see if the left one sets as we'll
The left shoe was pulled on his foot and he
stood up and gazed proudly down at his ex-
tremities. Those are about right he said,
but suppose you give me pair leetle
smaller. There is no need OF man making
his feet Look larger than necessary mount
ed the steps after another pair, when heard
a noise in the front Of the store and looked
up just in time 70 see small boy making
way with the strangers hat. Look your
haiti shouted: after him quick!' The
stranger seemed paraIyzed for moment,
hut then galloped out Of the store in pursuit.
'sThst's all,i' said the shoe dealer finally.
'sThe new shoes went out with the man, and
/ have seen neither since. When he tried
on the shoes he stamped his feet very natur-
ally, and suppose that was a signal for his

people to yell Justify. The attendance was
the largest of the week. and the game was
the best of the series. Aside from wild
throw which Murray made in the seventh
inning, the home team played faultless
fielding game. Caruthers and Walker
made brilliant battery, and the few base
hits to the credit of the visitors indicate that
they were effective. Nichols made clever
three base hit in the eighth inning, and
Andrus led the batting for both sides hitting
safely every time. For Grand Rapids wild
throw to second by Gastfield and tumble
by Eden were the only errors. The umpire
seemingly tried hard to give the game to the
visitors, and in number of instances
showed the judgment of boy ten years old,
rather than the matured judgment of an as
sociation judge of play. AS an umpire Dun
levy is decided failure and his games this
week rank him with the obnoxious Tun-
nison. 1t is not pleasant to criticise gen
tleman placed in such trying position, but
II any umpire ever deserved censure the
man who occupied the position yesterday
does. In one decision he favored the home
team, but this was the most absurd one of
all. Taken all in all we shall not see his
like again on the diamond. Only three more
games will be played before the Minneapoi
tans go east Friday, Saturday and Monday
Fort Wayne will close the first series Of the
season. Following is the score:

HORRIBLY MANGLED BODY.
N. B. Florer, Stranger Veteran,
Killed by the Cars.
Run Over by Two Engines. land Long Pas
senger Train.

About half-past eight O'Clock last night a
man was killed on the railroad track short
distance above the Seventh street fill by be-
ing run over by the cars, but no word was
sent to the city hall till about half-past 10
O'Clock. On going to the scene OF the acct
dent, about half-past II, it was found that
DR.. Horst, the deputy coroner, had been
there and gathered up the mutilated re-
mains, placing them on an old
mattrass preparatory to taking them to the
undertakers rooms The man was really
ground to pieces. His head was split open
and mashed, one arm was cut off, both legs
were broken, and his body cut open so that
his heart and liver were separated and lying
on the ground, while other parts OF his body
were scattered around. All these different
pieces were gathered together on the mat
trass, and covered over with the
old rags and clothing that be-
longed to the deceased. In this condition
the remains of the man were found little
before midnight by the writer, lying in a
deep ravine, near some bushes, and around
the bloody pile were three or four men with
iohOOi Ho hCCpluS 1lii ohS SOAOdNA ~
turned with wagon to remove them to the
undertakes establishment. On examining
the clothing of the deceased DR.. Horst found
a number of papers. One of them was ap-
parently prepared for him for the purpose
of enabling him to beg for assistance. 1t
set fort thath the deceased was soldier in
the Union army; that he was
almost or quite deaf; that he
was wounded in the breast in the service of
the country; that he had no relatives to aid
him, and that he was endeayoring to get
pension. This paper gave the mans name
as N. B.-Florer. He had an old overcoat on
his arm and carried pack.
The way in which he was killed is stated to
be as follows While he was walking along
on the track an engine belonging to the
Omaha road was backed up, knocking the
deceased down and running over him. This
was followed by the Northern Pacific train
coming down Immediately after the Omaha
engine had passed over the
man, and the train, not knowing
what had happened also passed over the man
gled body and helped to grind it up still
more. The man was apparently about forty
five or fifty years of age. The remains were
removed to the undertaking rooms of Guth-
unz & Rockstroh, on the corner of Wacouta
and Eight streets, where the inquest will
probably be held to-day about 1 O'Clock.

MILWAUKEE, July 23.-The Musl1egons
were again beaten by the Nliwaukees this
afternoon. The game was interesting and
well played throughout. Baldwin pitched
for the home club, and only six hits were
made by the Muskegons. who are considered
the heaviest hitters in the Northwestern
league, Falch did the backstopping, and
with the exception of his customary wild
throw to third base, played perfect game.
This player shows improvement every time
he appears, and now rarely drops the ball.
The team supported Baldwin in good style.
Sexton distinguished himself by two wonder
full stops. Bethel captured several difficult
balls that sailed into his territory The
fielding of the visitors was also good, the
special features being fine running catches
by Wright, Donahue and Brewer, and
splendid stop by Rainey. Meyers on sec
ond base improved all of the eleven chances
offered him. Knights pitching was hit
hard, and the general opinion was that the
Milwaukees suffered nothing by failing to
secure him for the club. The score follows:

GOV. ORDWAY.
To Retire From Office, Cleared of the
Accusations of his Enemies,


Gov. Ordway. of Dakota, was in St. Paul
yesterday for few hours, on his way to
Bismark, after a soioutn of several weeks in
the south part of the territory. He goes to
Bismark to prepare for surreudering his
Office of Governor of the Territory to Col.
Pierce, his successor. who, he supposes, viii
soon take the oath of Office before the chief
justice at Yankton, and then come to Bis
mark to enter uoon his duties as governor.
Gov Ordway, as heretofore, says he will re-
main citizen of Dakota, and 1t may be
inferred that he does not intend to
retire permanently from public life.
In conversation Yesterday with aequaint-
ances here he expressed personal gratifea-
ton at having secured an inquiry into his
official conduct by commission from the
department of justice. 1t viii be remem-
bered that some time ago Gov. Ordway pub
lished letter in which he challenged or in
vited Z. s. Marshal Campbell to join him in
an official inquiry into their acts as marshal
and governor, respectively, with a pledge
from each that he would instantly resign il
it was discovered that he had misused his
official powers. Campbell, who has led the
bitter denunciation OF 0rdway, which has
been the prominent feature of South Dakota
politics for q year or more, declined
this proposition. But. nevertheless. the
double inquiry has been hsd and the COM
mission has gone to Washington to submit
its reports. Gov ordway appears confident
that the report viii acquit him of every charge
which bas been brought against him by the
Yankton faction, and. though he did not SO
express himself, is thought to be equally con-
fdeHt that Campbell has not cleared himself.
Several OF the editors who have most de-
nounced Gov. ordEay were called as wit
