The seats were pretty well filled yesterday
at the game at the West Seventh street park
between st. Paul and Terre Haute. The
game was loosely played throughout by both
teams, Terre Haute winning by score of 5
to 2. st. Paul's battery was made up of
Calvin and Graves. The former went into
the box yesterday for the. first time, and the
impression created was favorable. His de-
livery, although extremely erratic at times,
seemed rather difficult to gauge, and only
five safe hits were made off him. Five flies
were also sent to the outfield by the visitors.
Calvin has good speed, made good appear
ance in the box aud with practice may
develop into good pitcher 10y another sea
son. We doubt the cxpedicncy, however,
of allowing him to pitch in league games
this year, as his wldness would probably tell
against the team at critical points. Graves
was lame and therefore unable to cover his
position well. The ,wo passed balls charged
against him resulted from his crippled under
pinuing. Camel played first base, and two
or three of his moves showed he was
not used to the position. Once
he ran into the diamond to take grounder
which should have been allowed to pass to
the second baseman, and thereby allowed the
gunner to reach first. O'Bren played third
He picks up a ball in that field well, but is
liable 10 put in more ammunition than is
necessary to get it to first. we believe that
Foley should go back to third, and some
good short stop be secured. The one great
objection to Werricll was that he was poor
batter, and not that he was a poor short stop.
The team was always stronger with Werrick
at short, and Foley at third, than it has ever
been since in those positions. Barnes, Hen
gle and Camel led at the bat yesterday, each
making two safe hits. Tlley had his hands
full at left, taking five difficult flies The
one he muired was tough one to handle,
and it was not much wonder that he dropped
It. Carroll accepted the two opportunities
offered and made fine throw to the plate.
For the visitors, Moore bore off the houors at

scored on errors, only two hits having been
made up to the fourth inning. Following is
the score:

Northeastern League.

The disbandment of the Bay City team
on Tuesday night last, did not demoralize
the Northwestern league as much as had
been predicted. The Evansville team bobbed
up serenely and took the place made vacant
by the defunct Michigan organization, and
everything moves on as though nothing par
ticular had happened. The Indiana team
starts off with third position in the league.
taking not only the place of Bay City but its
rank as well. Evansville will begin playing
championship games to-day at Milwaukee.
The Saginaw nine is doing the best playing
OF any team in the league, and present indi-
cations point to Clarkson's putting the team
ahead of Grand Rapids before the end of the
week, and we are prepared not TO
be surprised if Saginaw takes
the pennant. Quincy continues to play
very weak game, and unless there is imme-
d1ate bracing in the team, the championship
will not go to Quincy. Grand Rapids is hay-
ing very serious time in trouncing the
Minnesota teams, having lost four of eight
games played. Next to Saginaw, the st.
Paul and Saltwater teams have won the most
games during the week, each taking four out
OF five. They still retain tenth and eleventh
positions, however, as the teams just ahead
have won just enough to hold their places in
line. But five games now separate Minneap-
oils, in seventh place, and st. Paul in elev-
enth. Milwaukee is sixth, five games ahead
of Minneapolis. The record of the season is

Another to the Long List.

New YORK, July 27.-B. F. Estes, aged
thirty years, partner in the firm of E. B.
Estes s. Son, dealers in candles, Pearl street,
attempted to kill himself to-day. He came
to the Grand Central hotel Saturday and reg
stered as B. F. Estes, Brooklyn, and was
assigned room. He was not seen after
wards. To-day chambermaid found him
on the floor of the room, and an examina-
ton showed, though apparently dead, there
was still some life. A ragged hole was found
behind his ear where the skin and hair were
burned and blackened by powder, and 32-
calibre revolver lying under the bed ex-
planned the cause of his condition. Upon
the table were two notes in one envelope,
which was left unsealed. The first was as
follows:
''Dear father and brother: Forgive me
for committing this rash deed. l have suf-
fered terribly, l can neither eat nor sleep,
Have been to see DR.. Hammond but he gives
me no encouragement. / have lost all hope.
You may think this cowardly, but 1 can bear
this suffering no longer. l desire that my
property shall be equally divided among my
own sisters and brothers. Goodbye.
[Signedl FRANK"
The second was:
"Dear Minnie-Forgive me for bringing
so much trouble upon you. l know you
would, if you knew what l have suffered.
God only knows how much. l have been
growing worse daily and am completely dis
couraged. Had it not been for your love
and encouragement, / could not have kept
up as long as l have, cannot endure this
suffering any longer. Goodbye.

The wounded man was taken to the hos
pital. The surgeons say the chances of his
recovery are slight.

Labor Troubles in New York.

New YORK, July 27.-The strike of the
bricklayers seems likely to lead to de-
fections in other trades. The plasteresr'
union has ordered out all plas-
terers who are at work on jobs where the
bosses refuse to adopt the nine hour rule for
bricklayers. This order is to take effect ON
Monday morning. The bricklayers commit
tee reports that several bosses belonging to
the master builders association, whose
names are for the present withheld, have
offered to compromise with their workmen
by giving them IS per day of ten hours.
and $3.50. This offer was
refused by the executive committee upon
the ground that their fight was not wages,
but for decrease of working time. The
joiners and trainers have declared their in
tention of sustaining the bricklayers unless
the strike is brought to speedy close. The
blue-stone and brown-stone cutters are being
affected by the strike, which, if it is pro-
longed, will throw many of them out of en-
ployment. The granite and iron moulders,
trainers and carpenters, and every branch
of the building trade will in time be seri-
ously affected. 1t is estimated by a mem
Der of the master builders
association that the building interests
Of the city have already lost $3.50, 900.
The executive committee of the Bricklayer's
union say that the Bicklayers' international
union has Endorsed their strike, which enti-
ties them to the support of all unions
throughout the United States and Canada.
They say that not dollar of their funds has
been touched yet and that they are fnan-
cially able to carry on their strike alone for
some time before calling for aid. The exec
! utive committee received an order yesterday
from contractor of Wilkesbarre, whose men
work nine hours day, for $50 bricklayers.
The men will be sent to him Monday if that
number can be found who are willing to go.

National LeaOtte.

The Boston team lost three of five games
played last week, and Providence won two of
three. Boston now has lead of but one
game, aud Providence stands a fighting
chance of getting to the front again. New
York moves forward in fine form when play
ing with any club other than Boston or Provi
dence, having lost twenty-six games to these
two clubs and but ten to all the rest
together. Buffalo won four of the six games
played and is within three games of New
York. Chicago seems not to be able to get
any better position than fifth, and is further
behind Buffalo now than last week. Phila~
delphia seems to have serious intentions Of
forcing Cleveland down to seventh place.
Detroit takes about one game week and is
good deal surer of retaining eighth posi-
ton than Boston is first. The summary is

Games Lost.
.American Association.

The Metropolitan team showed its fine
Italian band the past week, and put sus-
picious looking gap between itself and the
next highest club. The Nets. played six
games, taking every one of them. Colum-
bus is bad second, three games behind, and
Louisville third, one game behind Column
bus. Cincinnati has slipped into fourth
place, st. Louis is fifth and Athletic, last
years champion team, sixth, eleven games
behind the leader. The clubs are begin
ming to manifest disposition to string out,
and light may now be seen between them.
The pennant will be taken by one of the five
leaders, and, although Metropolitan now has
a good lead, it is not improbable that ST.
Louis, the lowest of the five, may yet take
the front rank. Baltimore continues weak,
and Brooklyn seems determined to push the
Maryland team down notch. The Wash
ington team brought matters to climax bv
demanding their salaries before going to
Baltimore on their trip. The manager pro-
duced the ducats and the team will now play
out the season. Following is the result to
date:

HONEST UNCLE JAKE.

Fcesested With a Plug of Tobacco by a
Highly Virtuons Grocer.
''Speakin' of honesty, sah,n said an old
darky in Third avenue grocery store, "I'se

homes, am eberybody will tole yer so."
Yes, Uncle Jake. I guess you are honest

says it's credit to man to be honest"
''Deed tits, deed tits, sab. Dar's mighty

dkase, dey is.''
Here the grocer turned to throw scoopful
ct sand into the sugar barrel, and Uncle
Jake snatched a plug of tobacco from the
counter and put it in his pocket.
The old saying that honesty is the best
policy" went on the grocer, mixing the sand
and sugar carefully. 81 don't believe in.
1t is not the proper way to put it, With me
honesty is not a matter of policy, it is mat
ter o. honor, and-Where is that plug of
tobacco that was on the counter moment

Yes, sab, as l was sayin' ''continued

''Deed l hasn't, sab. Is yer sho' da' wuz
er plug of terbaker on de countah? P'raps
it failed off to the fio."
While the grocer was looking on the floor,
the old darkey adroitly slipped the tobacco be-
hind soap box on the counter.
''Did yer find it on de flo. sah2"
mo, did not, Uncle Jake. You stole
that plug of tobacco, and you've got to show

ina heartbroken tone of voice, "an' has been

Just then the grocer discovered the tobac-

right, just put the tobaccoin your pocket, and

NEW NORTHERN PACIFIC LEASE
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
Lines Leased in Perpetuity.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

CHICAGO, July 27.-It is announced that
q lease of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
companies.li to the Northern Pacific has
been ratified by the directors of the compa-
nies. The lease is in perpetuity and the
rental is to be per cent. on the stock for
two years, per cent for the next three
years and per cent thereafter. The amount
of stock upon which these dividends are to
be paid is S24, 600, 900. The Northern Pacific
main line ends at Wallula, S14 miles
Portland, and from that point
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company
system is used. Although the Northern
Pacific is completing its Cascade division
between Wallula and Tacoma, the leased
lines between Wallula and Portland must
always be its chief dependence for an
entrance into the Oregon metropolis. Here
tofore traffic arrangement has existed
between the two companies, but that was an
unsatisfactory condition of affairs to be per-
manently relied upon.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation COM
pany, in addition to it's steamship lines, oper-
ate Gil miles of railway, and has 243 more
under construction, the mail line extending
east from Portland along the Columbia river
and branch OF this main line reaching
down to Baker City. where it will connect
with the Oregon short line of the Northern
Pacific.
The latter company has been anxious to
lease the Oregon system, with which it con-
meets, and although the property was con-
trolled by capitalists largely interested in the
Northern Pacific, it was for some time un-
certain which bidder would be successful.
Valuable as the control of the Oregon system
would be to the Union Pacific as furnishing
connection for Portland, it would be much
more important to the Northern Pacific.
Probably favor had much to do with the final
decision, and the Northern Pacific receives
large addition of mileage, part
OF which will be used as its main line and
make sure that no future disturbance can
arise. A portion of the Oregon aggregation
is narrow guage and heretofore has not paid
its way, but steps are being taken to get rid
of this improbable branch. 1t may be re-
marked that this lease is completion of the
work outlined by ex-President Willard, whose
plans always contemplated this practical
merging of the Northern Pacific and the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation company.

STAGNATI0N IN CINCINNATI.
The Jobbers of That City Complain of
Dull Times.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.j

CINCINNATI, July 27.-There is good
stagnation, more 80, perhaps, than the situa-
ton really warrants. The clearing house
exchanges for the week ending to night
show an increase of about 1s per cent over
those for the corresponding week of last year.
The railroads all show an increased business
for the week, some of them as high as 20
per cent, due principally to the
marketing of new wheat, but the jobbing
trade and some lines of manufacturing have
done decreased business. There have been
no bad failures here and there are none ex-
pected. The mercantile agencies report a
careful and conservative policy on the part
OF capitalists and business men of the city,
which has prevented serious losses, and has
placed business upon a basis from which
handsome profits may be expected as soon as
the turn comes. For the presenB a fair
interest on the money invested is all that is
expected and that much is likely to be real
lied. 1t is coming to be realized that the job
bing trade has reached its fullest development
here and may suffer some decline. The
perfecting of railway systems has made it
possible for wholesale merchants. in New
York to ship goods to jobberss in a dozen
small cities within the territory Cincinnati
has claimed, for freight charges must be in
Cured in bringing the goods to Cincinnati.
The jobbers in a city of 1000 or 100, 900 in
habitants can therefore supply the country
merchants in the vicinity with goods to bet
ter advantage than can be done by the job
bers in Cincinnati. Realizing this, business
men are turning in increasing numbers to
manufacturers, and it is the belief that it is
upon its manufacturing interests that the
growth and prosperity of the city largely de-
pends.
