THROUGH MISUNDERSTANDING
The Ball Game Was Stopped
Mayer Amos Interviewed.

The game of ball between Minneapolis
and st. Paul yesterday afternoon was
stopped by the police, as noted elsewhere.
1t was announced in the GLOBE yesterday
morning that no interference would occur,
Mayor Ames having decided upon the course
he would pursue. The interference was
the result of misunderstanding by Mai.
Landberg OF the mayors order, as was ex-
planned afterward. At the close of the
sixth inning Maj. Landberg appeared on
the ground and informed Manager Whit
comb he was under arrest, and the game
must be stopped before its close. The play
ended, and Whitcomb was released on his
own recognizance to appear at police court
this morning. Mayor AmeS said last night
The ordinance against Sunday ball playing
will stand until its validity is passed upon by
the courts, and of course it is my duty to en-
during the game but he said to wait until the
end of the game, as his arrest might effect
the players of the team. This / agreed to,
and instructed Maj. Landberg to carry out.
He knows nothing of base ball and, supposing
the game about over, arrested Whitcomb
Some persons. when the game was
stopped. ran about shouting, 1.-THE mayor
was standing in with the Minneapolis
team. and the game was only stopped be-
cause it was ahead" This is. of course,
ridiculous. as Maj. Landberg knows moth
ing of base ball, and Mayor Ames had
given orders not to interrupt the game. 1t
is quite probable a warrant for Manager
Barnes will be issued this morning and his
case and Whitcomb's heard together.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. PEARSON W. W.
Downs made the first of his Iong-p promised
sensational disclosures to-day in defense of
his character, and the affair is likely to
prove ten days wonder. At his regular
meeting in Bumstead hall long series OF
resolutions was read, reviewing the call of
Mr.. Downs to the church, the revival he
lnaugurated, the efforts of Deacon Joseph
Story to secure his removal, prosecutions OF
the pastor, and the long-suffering of the
latter in his efforts to secure reconcilia.
ton. The resolutions then eXpel Deacon
Story on the ground of adultery and hii
failure to protest his innocence of thai
charge, as he promised he would
do by the testimony of a
physician as to his impotency.
In connection with the resolution an affi-
davlt was read from a sister of the church,
confessing to the act of adultery with
Deacon Story and to have committed and
submitted to other acts of unlawful
familiarity with him. The affidavit asserts
that death would have been preferable to
this confession and the publicity and trouble
that will follow, but it is made because
Deacon Story is at the bottom of the prose-
cutions which Mr.. Downs has endured.
The sister appeared before meeting of
the church two weeks ago, and made heI
confessions. Addresses were made i'm her
behalf, numberless prayers were Offered

conferrees upon the deficiency bill will meet
at III o'clock tomorrow morning. with
prospect that their work will be completed
during the day. The measure has great
many amendments which fact entails con-
siderable labor upon the cenferrees, but it
involves no important question of principle.

look for an agreement upon either is not

however it is believed quorum cannot be
held together after the sundry civil and de-
ticiency bills are disposed Of. The surplus
resolution, the Northern Pacific forfeiture
bill. the bill to repeal the presumption and
the timber culture law. the interstate COM
merce bill and the naval establishment bill
are the most important measures of general
legislation now in conference, and the i'm
preston prevails that all but the last named
will fail to become law at this session. 1t
is the general belief tonight that the ses-
sion will end not later than next Thursday.
possibly on Wednesday. The 6rst business
IN each house will be to listen to and dis
pose of the conference reports, whenever
they are ready. The senate will probably
devote one day to executive business, and
the remaining time, if there should be any,
to the vetoed pension bills and the miscel-
laneous calendar. 1t is possible that the
house may tomorrow reach and act upon
the senate amendments to the Mexican
pension bill and the Brooklyn public build
ing under suspension of the rules. If the
oleomargarlne bill is signed tomorrow it
is doubtful if quorum of the house will
remain after the final announcement is
made,

THE CRAIG DISASTER.
Bodies of the Victims Brought t.
Philadelphia,

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 1.-All the men,
bers of the pleasure party which left this
city on the Inflated yacht Sarah Craig, with
the single exception of Miss Bessie Merritt,
whose body has not yet reached this city,
will sleep beneath their home-roofs to-
night, but six of them are cold in death.
The bodies of Mrs. Stevens, her two
daughters, Miss Matte and Mrs Askin,
Miss Emma Merritt, Miss Maude E. Rettew
and Mr.. Chester Clark, arrived from Long
Branch this afternoon accompanied by
MessrS Potter, Buckley and Jordan, three
of the saved, and the sad party were met at
the depot by the remaining survivor, Mr..
+. w. Hall, who came here last night to
make preparations for the transfer of the
bodies to their homes. A humber of friends
of the victims were also at the station. The
survivors bore many marks of their dread
full experience, and Mr.. Buckley, who was
nearly lost after the others had been taken
off the yacht, was quite badly bruised. The
body OF Chester Clark was considerably dis
figured and told plainly of his frantic fight
for life while Ill the cabin below. The
funeral services of Mrs. Stevens and her
two daughters will take place Tuesday
afternoon. No final arrangements have
yet been made for the funerals of the other
victims, although they will in all prob
ability take place on the same day. Chester
Clark, the telegraph operator, was engaged
to be married to Miss Rettow and Miss
Matte Stevens was engaged to Mr.. Potter,

WILL THEY HANG!
Gossip Regarding the Probable Out
come of the Anarchist Trial


come of the Anarchist Trial.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The gossip of Chi
cago to-day was chiefly in respect to the
possible outcome of the anarchist trial now
in progress in the criminal court. A great
many expressed fears that the weakness of
the law and the tactics of the defense
would together furnish the means of escape
for the eight criminals who are held to be
at least morally responsible for the Hay
market riot and its result. Others seemed
to hold the opinion that some of them at
least would be convicted of murder. There
is widespread difference of opinion re-
gardng Gilmer'S evidence, which affirms
that Spies applied the torch to the fatal
bomb. 1t seems to be the conviction of
many police officials that Engel could have
been secured as witness for the state
His wife, at least. has intimated as much
on several occasions, and it is believed that
Engel could have told tale which would
have enabled the state to procure all neces-
Sary evidence for the conviction of the
prisoners, and even others not now in the
dock. 1t is believed in well-informed
circles that States Attorney Grinnell has
still in partly matured shape
SURPRISE
for the defense and the country, which he
will divulge in rebuttal. That he is hold
ing back something very important there
can scarcely be doubt, but just why he
is doing so is a complete puzzle. 1t may
be that his plans and actions have not vet
come to head and that he was compelled
to rest his case. The defense will COM
mence the production of testimony to-lnor-
row morning to attempt to prove that the
prisoners are not murderers nor accessories
to murder. and that they are not all that
Attorney Solomon claimed for them in his
opening speech of yesterday. It is ex-
pected that Mayor Harrison will be the
first witness. He will be called upon to
state what his knowledge was previous to
May concerning the conduct of number
of the prisoners as to their connection with
socialistic organizations. public and private
meetings. etc.; also whether or not thai
knowledge was such as to lead him to take
any action to enforce the laws against
them. The defense expects to get through
during the present week, or within eight
days at the furthest. A number of the
prisoners will be put upon the stand in
their own defense. Among them will be
Spies, Fischer, Schwab and Neebe.

AN ILLINOIS FaEND,
With a Devilish Purpose. Assaults a
Young Girl.

Special to the Globe.
MARSHALL, ILL.,, Aug. Last evening
Frank Tingley. tough character. drove
to the city in buggy, having made ar
rangements to take Miss Kate Lowrey to
her home near Auburn. The young woman
has been working for several months as a
servant girl for the family of Aaron Cole
Tingley drove around with his buggy, Miss
Lowrey got in, and they started for home.
Two miles west of the city the road crosses
Mill creek by means Of a covered bridge.
Just as the buggy entered the bridge, Ting
ley made infamous proposals to Miss Low
rey, which she Indignantly rejected. He
had offered her candy twice on the way
out, but she had refused it both times,
fearing something was wrong. On her re-
fuSal to yield to his lust. he threw his arm
around her and attempted to tear her
clothing from her. He is of small
stature, but very strong. She is very large,
and also possesses considerable strength.
For more than quarter of a mile he
struggled with her. until she finally fell or
jumped from the buggy. He at once
sprang after her and chased her some dis
lance, finally overtaking her. The struggle
was renewed and she would probably soon
have been overpowered had not help came
in answer to her screams. Robert Hus-
tons family heard her voice, and several
of them went to her aid. Tingley was
frightened away, but was captured this
morning. He was brought to Marshall this
evening for examination on a change of
venue from Squire Towel OF Auburn, and
was bound over. While an endeavor was
being made by his friends to secure bail for
him, he escaped from the officers who had
him in charge. He is still at large, but
men are on his track.
