PHrLADEIpHIA, July 81. Early this
morning a party of young men boarded q
vessel lying at Pine street wharf. Delaware,
with the intention of going in to swim in

on board, and retaliated by throwing stones
at the vessel. One Of the missiles struck
colored man who stood on the deck,
knocking him into the stream, and he was
drowned before assistance could reach him.
Five boys-John, Timothy and Richard
Mclaughlin; George Flynn and Thomas
Manning -were subsequently arrested and
held to await the action of the Coroner.
The colored mans body was recovered and
held to await the disposition of the Coro-

A vast crowd of people, those who are
competent judges, say three thousand,
greeted the Newaiks and the Jersey Citys,
when they entered the Held at the Grand
Street ball grounds yesterday, for another
trial of skill. Mr.. Harvey of the World acted
as umpire. The boys give him credit of hav-
ing ruled honestly, but complain that his
Judgment was very bad at some points.
His decisions were net potent in scoring
rnother defeat for the Jersey Citys, though.
Their failing to conquer their opponents
was due to the poor base running Of the
home club. In the first inning Herman
made a three base hit, and got home on
FriePs strike. Friel made second run on
hits by Corcoran and Say, and with two
earned runs to their credit the chance of
success was promising. When Newark
took the bat, she COINED two runs, singles
by Greenwood and Coogan, and a wild
throw of Says to first. In The next inning
both sides went out in one, two, three
order. In the next inning, the Jerseys.
through hitting by Say and a two Dagger
by Hiland. earned another run. The New
arks went to the bat, Casey made three
Dagger and Burns two Dagger, enabling
two men. who were on bases, to get home,
Wild throws by Say and Hiland and an
error by Pitcher Stovsy gave them three
more, making score of 5 in all.
In the next inning the Jersey City's sue
ceeded in getting Frsil, Corcoran and
Herman on bases. But sturid base
running on the part of Freil es-
peoially, cost them their advantage and
they scored goose egg.
The Jersey City's did not have another
chance. The Newark's were also sut out
up to the seventh inning, when poor field
ing on the part of Smith, who should have
got the bali safe through to him, through,
Saw was in error, gave them two runs
They were closed out in /, 2, order after
that. The score at the end stood 9 for the
Newarks to for the home club.

New Railroad i'm Siberia.

From the Railroad Gazette.
August last was celebrated the
opening OF railroad in Siberia from
Jekaterinenburg eastward to Tjumen,
2O1 miles, about in latitude SO. This
forms an extension of the railroad
built 8 few years ago from Perm on
the Kama River, southeast ward
over the Ural Mountains to Je-
katerinenburg, only a small part OF
which is in Asia. This line is not as
yet connected with the railroad sys-
tenn OF European Russia. Perm being
IN an airline more than 800 miles
northwest OF kasan, the Kama River,
a branch OF the Volga, being navigable
between those points part of the year;
but 1T is intended to build a railroad
connection between Kasan and Perm
hereafter, and westward from Kasan
to Murom, the present eastern termi-
nus OF railroad from Moscow, next
year. The new re ilroad was built by
the government for the purpose OF Civ
ing work to the starving population
east OF the Ural Mountains, but it is
likely TO have considerable CONNER
claI Importance, being the sole line OF
railroad communication between Sibe-
ria and Europe. Tjumen, the eastern
