The game of ball at the Portland grounds
yesterday afternoon was very interesting
and exciting contest and was witnessed by a
large crowd of spectators. Both Madden
and Conley pitched very effectively, as will
be seen by the few base hits made. Madden,
the boy twirler of the Portlands, is doing
very excellent work in his position. The
fielding of both teams yesterday was good,
and the game was among the best played on
the home grounds this seasons. The score
follows:

The Anarchists Trial.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-There was the usual
crowd in the criminal court room this fore
noon, when the trial of the eight anarchists
was resumed.
August Krumon, a woodworker, testified
that he attended the Haymarket meeting
with friend named Albright They went
into Cranes alley to light their pipes, owing
to the fact that the wind was blowing on the
and head much resembles Spies.
This testimony the defence expect will off
set Gillmere's evidence. They will contend
that Gillmere mistook Krumon for Spies, and
that the former instead of lighting bomb
was engaged in lighting nothing more harm
fnI than pipe Of tobacco.

Wants to Turn States Evidence.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4.-The directors Of
the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Company
today considered letter received by Presi-
dent Gillingham yesterday afternoon, from
the defaulting secretary and treasurer,
James A. l.. Wilson, wuo helped to steal
the fraudulent issue of six per cent
bonds to that amount. The letter was dated
New York and the writer in it offered to
surrender himself and Henry V. Les
ley, his predecessor in office and his
thorities here, providing all prosecu-
tions against the writer are withdrawn
The offer did not ask the immunity for Lesley
and the inference drawn from the proposition
is that Wilson means to turn States evidence
against his cousin, who began stealing more
than 10 years ago.
