DIAMOND RECORDS.
How the Clubs stand at the End Of
the Last Week in August.


The interest of the people of ST. Paul in
the Northwestern league is not half so great
to-day as two weeks ago. Then st. Paul
was firmly fixed in second place and push
ing Duluth very hard for the pennant Now
the home team has surrendered second place
to Eau Claire and has both Oshkosh and
Milwaukee at its heels. 1t is therefore by
no means certain that st. Paul will not
finish the season in fifth place. While in
terest is falling away in st. Paul, however.
it is increasing in all the Badger cities.
The games played the past week have been
the closest and most exciting of the season,
several of them having been decided by
single score. st. Paul lost three out of
four games contested, but three of the four
games were nevertheless fine exhibitions of
the national sport and were decided by
chance. Five games have been postponed
on account of rain. Some of these games
will doubtless be played off the early part
of this week, as no league games are sched-
uled for any day before Saturday. st. Paul
has an engagement to play at Sioux City on
Tuesday and may not stay at Eau Claire to
play off the Saturday game. 1t is probable
that the schedule will be rearranged before
the Minnesota clubs again go to Wisconsin.
The only regular games scheduled for this
week are Milwaukee at ST. Paul. Oshkosh
at Minneapolis and Eau Claire at Duluth on
Saturday. The record to date is given be-

Moth CouIdn,tDoI

The handicap wrestling match between
Charles Moth and Tom Shields occurred at
the South Side park, Minneapolis. last
night. Moth was to have thrown Shields
five times in one hour for purse of 5000,
but he failed. Owing to the weather the
attendance was light. Moth won the first
fall Grece-Roman style. in ten minutes and
the second fall, catch-as- catch-can, in
seven and one-half minutes. He then
seemed weak and struggled at Greco
Roman until only eight minutes was left
him, when he gave up the contest. Shields,
exuberant and filled with confidence, then
wagered 800 that Moth cannot throw him
three times in an hour and half, and the
match will come off in two weeks. The Jap
seconded Shields.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Prince Alexander
started at 2 o'clock this afternoon from
Lemberg by a special train for Lompalanka
by way of Bucharest and Guirgevo. From
Lompalanka he will go to Sofia. 1t IS not
settled what route he will take to reach that
city. Before leaving Lemberg the prince
consulted an eminent physician.
Public interest at Berlin is centered in
Prince Alexander. He has become faE-
orite. and the news that he has been llber-
Rted caused a storm of popular delight.
The princes portrait is displayed in many
of the shop windows. Some OF the news
papers denounce his deposition as the
AUDACIoUs ACT OF sCoUNDRELs,
who had been bought with Russian gold.
One journal warns the car that Alexander
is a German, and that the indignity put
upon him is an insult which will never be
forgotten. Emperor William received the

Chicago 10, PhiIadeIphia 8.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-The Chicagos won
by sheer luck and hard base running, and
by kick made by Arson over Mcclure be-
ing relieved by Clements. The umpire
held Mcclure not hurt, but Irwin ordered
him to stay back and Chicago scored
four runs by this foolishness
Spalding ordered the game to go on
and will protest before the league
Irwin was clearly insubordinate, as he re-
fused to obey Harry Wright. Arson,
however, showed his hoggishness by OBJ
jecting to the change of catchers; especially
as he frequently changes catchers. 1t was
a clear tease Of bullhead on the part of
both captains. The Phillies outplayed the
Chicagos and nearly won the game, which

CHARIEsTowN. W. Va, Aug, u.s.
Yesterday while James Kiser was conduct
ing school in Jackson county, he had oc-
casion to reprimand scholar one John
Griffith, youth of some Is years of age.
The boy went home and together with his
brother, was heard to threaten Kisers life.
The next morning he sharpened his knife,
filled his pockets with rocks, and returned
to the school. A pupil who saw him get
ting ready to hit the teacher with rock,
informed on him and Kiser tried to take
the rocks away from him. During the
struggle that ensued, the boy stabbed his
teacher in several different places, one
thrust penetrating the lung. The teacher
is lying at the point of death, and young
Griffith's whereabouts is unknown, but as
he has relatives in this county, it is sup
pos ed he is near here.

Nearly Killing His Child.

| Nearly Killing His Child.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Thele was large
attendance of the female neighbOrS of
Michael Vellek at the Twelfth street police
court this morning. when the case against
him for inhuman cruelty to his ten-year-old
boy, Charles, was taken up. Annie Eyer
myer one of the neighbors, said she saw
the boy tied to a post and looking like a
dead child. She did not notice how he was
tied. Mrs. Antonio Prepichal was the one
who first saw the lad. She ran and got a
Ratchet which she gave to Mrs. Dorrak,
who burst open the shed and cut the boys
bands. Mrs. Dorrak carried the boy in her
arms to Mrs. Prepichal, who half carried
| the fainting boy to her house when the
doctor wa called. She swore there was
red welt ON his body where the rope had
CUT INTO HIS FLESH.
'How long did the boy remain unconscious?"
asked Justice White.
But a little while. The doctor gave him
| teaspoonful of medicine and that revived
him, but then he went into COMMISSIONS"
i "How many commissions did he have?"
| HE went out of one into another and con-
| tinued in that state for about an hour. and
up till noon he could not walk. He was found
| about o'clock"
'Was the boy tied up so that his feet
| touched the grOund?''
His toes touched"
| VelleF said that the boy ran away the
night before with a peddler, and that he
had found him that morning in an alley off
| Eighteenth street. He took him home and
put him in a room. but the boy threatened
to break out so he tied him up in the wood
shed till he could consult lawyer about
sending the boy to an institution. He in
tended to be back at noon. Vellek claimed
ne did not mean to hurt the child, but to
keep him from running away. Justice
White read the statute against cruelty, and
| said:
This offense is something more than disor-
derby conduct. A punishment severe enough
| to throw tender boy into commissions must
| be of nature to injure his health. 1t would
| be heroic treatment TO tie child fast to the
bed post. intending to leave him there for
four hours, but to string him up in an out.
house where there are rats, is enough to
drive him into Mysteries. That is fiendish
cruelty. I'll bind Vellek to the grand jury in
| $500 bonds.'
Bail was procured, and Vellek was re-
leased. He was followed to his home by
crowd of women who hooted and groaned
after him.

Et Causes Destruction of Life and
Poverty III Greece and Italy.
LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Greece has again
been visited by an earthquake which has
been most disastrous in the MOrea, and in
which the loss of life, according to the best
information, reaches the enormous figure
of 800. The village of I'yrgo, and the town
of Phliatra, both situated on the western
coast of the Morea, were the chief sufferers,
and these furnish, it is believed, all that
have suffered In Pyrgo not house is left
standing, while Philiatra is almost swept
from the face of the globe swallowed up
in the commissions of the earth. The shocks
were experienced throughout Greece in a
greater or less degree. In the town
of Zante every house was damaged and the
inhabitants fled in terror TO the open cOun-
try. Several towns in Italy were also Wis
tied by the earthquake, but not to any Sc
rious extent, Naples. BriDdiS, Foggia,
Caserta and Sorrento being of the number.
A dispatch from Naples says that
A SECOND SHOCK
has occurred there The population was
crowding the streets, and many families
are fleeing from the city. There have been
two eruptions of VeSuvius, and the volcano
is still very active. An earthquake shock
was experienced at Athens at midnight.
Advices from Zante say that excessive heat,
dead Gains and unusually high tides fore
warned the inhabitants. The earthquake
appears to be in the sea at point thirty
miles south of Zante. The cables and tel
egraph wires are broken, and 10 news has
been received from the interior. The
cathedral at Pyrgo was destroyed. Violent
shocks of earthquakes have been expert
enced at Alexandria and in other parts OF
Egypt, causing terror among the natives,
but so far as is known, doing no serious
damage.
