How Six southern Soldiers Treated a Phiia-
deIphia wife-Beater.
A Philadelphia special Of July 5th
says: AS four Of the Montgomery
Greys and two Of the Houston Light
Guards were returning to camp from
Belmont Mansion late last night their
attention was attracted by screams
and cries of "Help =" and "Mur-
der :" The hot southern blood, which
had been additionally heated at the
mansion, mounted to their heads, and
with grim determination and southern
chivalry flashing in their eyes the gal
liant six charged for the spot whence
the cries came. There they discoy-
cred big brute Of a man beating his
wife with the butt-end of a pistol.
Hold up" yelled one Of the Greys.
- You touch that woman again and I'll
fill you full of holes "
Then the wife-beater discovered that
he was the focus for the barrels Of four
pistols in the hands Of the excited Ala
bama boys. The Texans were un-
armed.
"She's my wife and ! can do as
l."
Shut up" interrupted a Texan.
"Boys, can't you give him just one
for luck? Don't kill him exactly.
Just take an ear off. Please do. It'll
do him good"
The man saw that the southerners
meant business, and he whined and
begged so piteously that he was per-
mitted to depart, minus his pistol and
plus six hearty kicks. The woman
stole off after him.

sTuesdny and Saturday MOOnlights.'

In response to very general desire
the Virginia Steamboat Company has
decided to have their steamer ariel :"
make a moonlight excursion to Dutch

every Tuesday, as heretofore. The first
one will take place next Saturday, and
the management assure the public that
the " Saturday Moonlights" shall be
maintained at the same high and unex-
ceptionable standard of responsibility
and order as the "Tuoaday Moon

to be enjoyed by everybody.

The Temperance Meetings.

Last night another large audience as
sembled at Pine-Street Baptist church.
The choir rendered some excellent
music previous to the formal opening Of
the meeting. Prayer was offered by
Rev. C. p. Scott, Of the Valley Baptist
church.
Major Holden was again introduced
and spoke for an hour in his earnest,
impressive manner, completely cap
turing his audience.
His address was replete with words
Of wisdom and truth, and was inter-
spersed with telling illustrations. His
addresses are entirely different each
night, and no one need fear hearing the
same thing over again. The meetings
so far have been great success.
At the conclusion of Major Holden's
address Rev. w. Il. Wright, or tiIc
Laurel-Street Methodist church, made
few remarks heartily endorsing it.
The meeting tonight will be at Den
ney-Street Methodist church, and to-
morrow night at Trinity Methodist
church, on which occasion Captain W.
c. Dutton, G.. W. G. I. of the State,
will be present and also speak.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In the Dispatch Of the lst instant
you refer not only to the work Of the
special committee in the investigation
Of the affairs Of the "Auditor's office"
but specially-and l have no doubt
very properly--to Mr.. Moon, chairman
Of the committee, and to the lowest
probable amount to be realized by the
State lone hundred thousand dollars).
Now, sir, it seems to me there ought
to be suitable recognition Of what
DR.. Hume has done in this matter.
The probabilities are but for him
Smith would have remained in office to
this day. l think it would be but an
act Of simple justice for the Legislature
to pass an act presenting DIR. Hume
with s5 900 as testimonial and appre-
citation of his care and attention to the
business in the department in which he
is acting for the Commonwealth. |
hope, sir, that this will not be per-
mitted to pass unnoticed by the Legis-
lature. A COUNTRYMAN..
TT is claimed that it was through DR..
Hume, who is clerk in the Treasurer S
Office, and also clerk of the Madison
courts, that suspicion was first directed
towards Smith.

A FORFEITED GAME.
Inc Irenions Kick Agsinst the Umpire's
Decisien and Refuse 70 Finish Playing.

e.s s&Ns.rt " hntsh atSStoss
Only about 500 persons witnessed
the second Of the games between the
Trentons and the Virginias at the lat
ter's park yesterday afternoon. When
the bell sounded for play to begin the
visitors took the field. They present
ed Mattimore and McCloskey as their
battery instead Of Warner and Horner,
as was announced in yesterdays Dis
patch. Something was the matter with
Warner's hand or arm, so he could not
pitch.
Very little batting was done in the
first part Of the contest, and both clubs
were blanked for the first four innings.
Up to this time both mines had played
remarkably well both pitchers were
puzzling, and they were well supported
in the field. In the fifth inning, how
ever, the home team began to catch on
to Mattimore, and, with the assistance
of a few errors by the Trentons, scored
three runs, which the visitors were un-
able 10 overcome. They also added
one run in the eighth and two in the
ninth, which made their score six at the
close Of the struggle.
The visitors, on the other hand, were
unable to handle Pyle, and got off him
altogether only three hits. In fact,
Fyfe has not pitched in better trim this
season than he did in this game. The
visitors were unable to advance man
further than second base until their last
chance at the bat, when Murphy led off
for them. He was put out on a fly
to Glenn. Brouthers made a safe
hit. Mclaughlin got his base on
seven called balls. They were each
advanced one base on a passed ball by
Householder, and came in on a safe hit
by Reccius. Reccius tried to make
second while the ball which he batted
was being fielded in. He and the ball
got to second base about the same
time-to all appearances he having
reached there first-but Kimber, who
was acting as umpire (by the mutual
consent of both clubs in the absence
of League umpire, called the man out.
The visitors kicked against this de-
cision and refused to finish the game.
The umpire called play several times,
and had Pyle pitch several balls over
the home plate, when the game was de-
clared forfeited.
Shibe's Official Eastern League Base
Ball Guide, Rule 40, section 2, reads
If, after the game has begun, one
side refuses or fails to continue play
ing, unless such game has been sus-
pended or terminated by the umpire,
the game is forfeited, and shall be de-
clared by the umpire in favor of the
club not in fault
The umpire declared the game Q to 0
in favor of the Virginias. The Trentons
will protest against this decision. With
the exception of one error by Higgins
and two by Tiernan, the playing of both
clubs in the field was perfect, and
Shetzline, Higgins, and Greenwood did
exceptionally fine work in their re-
spectiye positions. The double play
recorded in the score and some Of
Shetzline's fine catches were the most
brilliant plays of the evening.
Mr.. A. L. Davis, who has for several
weeks been the official scorer here, has,
on account OF a change in his business,
resigned that position. Appended is
the detailed score of yesterdays game,
as Tar as played:

s,snss 0ae 70 seven Inches IN DAaHessr
Create Terrible Havoc.

A Poughkeepsie IN. " telegram
says: A gentleman who arrived from
Chatham, Columbia county, to-day tells
Of an extraordinary hail-storm there
last night. II was at an hour when
most Of the villagers were ct supper.
Shortly after 9 P. NJ. mass Of dark
clouds was seen approaching from the
southwest, and at $50 1t burst, and for
ten minutes hail-stones rained down
upon the village in large size and force.
They measured all the way from one to
seven inches in diameter, and banked
up along fences like q snow-drift.
The roar Of the storm and the
crash Of breaking glass were fright
full. People were knocked down
in the streets and horses ran away
with fright from the pelting stones.
Large hailstones crashed upon and
through tin roofs, and were found
wedged in the tin. They smashed
through closed blinds and windows, and
where blinds were not closed and peo-
pie started to close them men, women,
and children were hit by the hail and
cut and bruised about the face and
hands, blood flowing freely. One hun
dred and thirty-six panes Of glass in
the windows Of the Methodist church
were destroyed, one hundred in the vii
lage school-house, aud photographers
skylights were demolished. The win
dows Of railway cars at the station were
also destroyed. Big trees were fairly
stripped Of their foliage, and young
fruit-trees were wiped out. All the
street lamps Of the village were smash
ed, corn was cut away entirely, leaving
only the stalks standing, and the
ground was so thickly covered with hail
stones that it could not be seen, every
thing being covered with a coat Of ice.
Robins, sparrows, and other birds were
found either dead at the foot Of trees
or with broken wings and legs. Lambs
in the fields were moved down by the
hail and killed. Hot-houses in every
direction were destroyed, and hailstones
were taken out of buildings in large
quantities. Turkeys and chickens
within the limits of the storm were
killed, and dogs ran yelping through
the streets with pain from the falling
hail. The storm was apparently about
four miles in width, and did not last
over ten minutes. Hardly any wind
accompanied it, and but little thunder
and lightning. The damage to roofs
and windows is estimated at $4,000
total damage, $4,000.

The Immigrstioa OF Chinese.
lBY telegra oh TO the Dispatch.l

SAN FRANCISCO, July The
Bulletin prints the statement that 6, 700
Chinese have landed here from August
/, 1882, when the restriction law went
into effect, to July 6, 1884, when the
amended restriction act was passed.
From the latter date to July 6, 1885,
over S,l00 Chinese landed, or l,400
more in one year under the amended
restriction act than during twenty
three months under the original act.
This is attributed by the Bulletin to
the increase Of fraudulently-obtained
certificates.
