BASE BALL.

Games between the Principal Clubs OF tho
Country 60 Amateur Playing in This
city.
The game Of base ball between whisky"
and tobacco" or rather the restaurant
keepers and tobacco merchants, at Capital
rark, Tuesday afternoon, was largely at-
tended. Tho game was played for the ben
eft of the cx-confedcratcs homo ut Rich
mond, and nearly 5000 was realized. Tho
audience was probably the largest that ever
attended base ball match here, and was COM
posed largely of business men. Mr.. f. h.
Ward was selected umpire, and his decisions
were the cause of u great deal of trouble.
When man struck out he was given run,
and when he made u run he was counted out
One of the PLAYERS made u "kick' in tho
third inning and Mr.. Wards friends, fearing
for his safety, supplied him with a mu2zlc, u
shield an armor, and two duoling pistols.
After this there was no appeal from MIR.
Wards decision.
Although the regular game consists Of only
nine inninGs,the game OF Tuesday lived fifteen
innings, and ended in a draw each club having
one run to its credit. In the twelfth inning
dispute arose as to the umpire's decision,
which led to tho substitution of another
umpire. No blood was shed.

A HORSE THIEF HoRsEwHIppED.
How Arkansas Farmers Deal With Pco-
pie Who McddIo with Their Property.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, June 11.-Late infor-
nation from Newport tells that the special
court at Jacksonport is still engaged in tho
trial of the parties implicated in tho whipping
near that city. From particulars given it
appears that farmer named Mack Oakes had
recently moved in from North Carolina and
was living with farmer named Dale, not far
from Jaoksonport. Both these men were a
triile mysterious, and a number of horses
having been stolen, suspicion fell upon Oakes
There appears to have been little or no
proof against him, but five of the neighbor-
ing farmers getting together, gathered him
in, and taking him into the woods, triced
him up and proceeded to show him what was
what, as effectively as they could, with the
busness-end of knotted and twisted rope.
He was thrashed until it was thought he
world die. Suffering terrible agonies, he
was found by friends and carried to Jackson
port for treatment. The case was deemed of
such Importance that special grand jury
was empaneled and the whippers were
indicted. The case was brought before Judge
Il. Ii. Powell, and is still pending.

In his serenade speech General
Logan said 'The Republican party
must not go to the wall till every
State gives its citizens full political
rights, and the country guarantees
protection to every American al
home and abroad till our monetary
system is established beyond ques-
ton till the laborer gets his rights,
till education is universal, and, in
general, till self-government has
solved all the questions of humani-
ty." Such programme carried out
would tuck away in their graves

In 1882 when the alleged Inde-
pendents of the country were deter
mined to defeat the election Of the
gallant Beaver there was no journal
went more heartily into the work
than Harper's Weekly, and its editor,
George w. Curtis, was favorite and
leading spirit with the conspirators.
Then the New York Tribune and
Philadelphia Press were preaching
the very doctrine that Curtis is now
engaged in disseminating but now
they can scarcely find language suf-
ficiently strong to dencunce his
course. Their conduct is not as con-
sistent as his, though they are now
right and he is wrong. The truth is
these journals joined in the move
ment to defeat Beaver from personal
reasons alone ard advocated doctrine
they did not believe in order to COM
pass the end they desired. On the
other hand Curtis is honest, though
mistaken. and it looks little cheeky
for the newspapers who used him
for their selfish purposes two years
ago to denounce him for doing now
what they so heartily approved
then.-LancdSter Inquirer.

The "KIckers" Kicked.

Political "bolters" and "kickers
are falling into disrepute. Their ac-
tions show them to be persons OF
weak convictions, with narrow
outlook, who are generally influen-
ced by selfish considerations. 1t
has come to be that the 'kickers" OF
one year condemn and despite those
who initiate them in the next. We
now see in Pennsylvania the kick
ers" who defeated the gallant Beaver
filled with disgust towards the kick
ers" Of New York and Boston who
are trying to pave the way for the
defeat OF Blaine. The men with
records that will bear investigation
and the trials of time are those who
are consistently faithful to their prin-
ciples and to the organization which
represents them, while those whose
unfaithfulness makes it doubtful
where they will be found can never
win influence, respect or success.

LYNcHBURG, June 29.-On account
of the failure of the air brakes to
work the Virginia Midland morning
express ran at an uncomfortable
speed on to the bridge over the
James River near the city. The
corner of the smoking car struck the
upright girders, throwing it from the
track. The truck o: the car dragged
the sleepers away for a distance of
100 feet and the Washington and
New York sleeping cars fell through
the opening into ten feet of water
and gradually sank. Conductor
King was thrown into the river, and,
although he had two ribs broken,
swan to the cars and helped the pas
sengers through the windows. Most
of the passengers were taken out
through holes cut in the ventilators
in the top of the cars. to which the
water finally reached. There were
about forty passengers in the sleep
ers, all saved. After the water had
covered the top of the windows,
Mrs. J. S. Farden pushed her two
months old child through the win
dow aid held it above water until
rescued, and then she came out the
same way. The passengers are be-
ing cared for at the hotels. Trains
will be delayed two DAYS.

BALTIMORE, Nd, June 2S.-At
Deals Island yesterday Captain
Prettyman White, with his little A.
year-old son, drove to the landing
and out to the end of the wharf,
which extends for a quarter of a
mile into the sound. Leaving his
child in the buggy he unhitched his
horse and tied it to a post. Turn
ing around he was Mortified to see
the wind blowing the carriage with
the child in it over the edge of the
pier. He sprang toward it, but too
late. 1t had turned over as it fell
and, it is thought, stunned the child,
as he did not come to the surface
after sinking. Later in the day the
body was recovered.

New YORK, June pa derrick
on the tower of Grace Church, used in
hoisting stone and building material
for the building of the new steeple
fell to-day, carrying with it a mass
of timber and rigging, Joseph Nc
Kee, the derrick rigger, and Robert
Simpson, a mason, were caught in
the ropes and terribly mangled
Mckee was rescued and sent to the
hospital, where his wounds, it was
said, though severe, would not prove
fatal. Simpson was caught in the
rigging some distance below the
edge of the tower and remained sus-
pended 165 feet over the street. All
efforts to extricate him from his terri
bic position were for long time
unavailing. He was finally extrcat-
ed from the ENHANCEMENT of ropes
and timbers which pinned him to
the wall and it was found that he
had been conscious throughout the
whole period. His right leg and
arm were broken and his chest was
badly crushed and his body was
covered with contusions and bleed
ing wounds. He was lowered to the
ground and sent to the hospital,
where it was said his recovery was
doubtful.
Several large stones crashed
through the roof of the church and
did damage amounting to $4,000
The accident was caused by the
foot of the derrick slipping from its
suppor as it was being raised.

A Nest of Counterfeiters.

SCRANTON, June 24.-Hugh Mills
and his wife were arrested here to-
dav by United States Commissioner
Barring, of Wilkesbarre, for compile.
ity in counterfei;ing. The informa-
ton on which they were taken was
furnished by two young men named
Bunnell and Lawler, who were ar
rested in Wilkesbarre yesterday
At the residence of Mills a number
of counterfeit dollars ard five-ceni
pieces were found, in addition to a
pail of sand used for moulding and
some white metal and zinc of the
sort used in making spurious mon
ey. They denied all knowledge Of
the Doodle. Mills was remanded
for trial to Wilkesbarre and his wife
was admitted to bail before Conn.,
missioner Wilson, of this city, for
her appearance next Friday, Cashier
Linen. of the First National Bank,
becoming her security.
The arrest of Mills caused a SEN
satien. as he had been for many
wears moulder at the Dickson
Works and was regarded as a steady
workman. The gang of counterfeit
ers have operated in this city for
more than three gears, and the prin-
cipal, man named Given, who is
Mills brother-in-law, is still at large.
Other arrests are expected to follow
shortly. No less than six who were
implicated in the business left town
to-day, after hearing of the arrest at
Wilkesbarre yesterday, and have not
been heard of since.

AT the head of our columns will
be found the ticket selected by a
plurality of the voters at the Repub-
lican primary election on Saturday
last. 1t would be gross hypocrisy
to assert that in its entirety it is ac-
ceptable to US, but it was chosen
from an array of forty-two candi-
dates, in accordance with the usages
ofthe party, by a plurality of Repub-
licans out OF an unusually large vote,
and it is therefore entitled to and
should have the amplest support,
from every man who cast his ballot
at the election by which it was nom-
mated. No true and stalwart Re-
publican ever plays fast and loose
with the fairly nominated candi-
dates of his party. 1t is only by al
legiance to honestly selected candi-
dates, that party supremacy can. be
maintained. This doctrine we have
always tried to impress upon the
Republicans of Somerset county and
we reiterate newsstand by the
ticket.
