BASE BALL.
PoRTLANDs VS.. LAwRENcEs TODAY.

PoRTLANDs VS.. LAwRENcEs TODAY.
The Portlands will play the Lawrences
again this afternoon, on the home grounds,
and a good game is expected, for if the
weather is warm enough Hickman will
pitch. Game will be called at o'clock.
PoRTLANDs, 10; LAwRENCEs, 9.
AT the opening of yesterdays game things
looked very bad for the home club. The
Lawrenees were first at bat, and they
''caught on" to Mckinley at once, and bat
ted him hard; four hits, wild throw by
Kearns to Caysnagh, and McKinley's wild
pitch yielded the visitors four runs, one Of
which was earned The Portlands then
went to the bat, two men were given first on
balls, Cox fumbled Kearns' hit, and errors of
others resulted in the home club scoring
three runs they retiring without a hit to
their credit. And thus it was through most
of the game. The Portlands hit German
hard, but unfortunately a fielder was around
and captured the ball in most cases. Had it
not been for the brilliant base running of the
Portlands they would have been badly left; !;
they gave one of the finest exhibitions of
base running, however, ever seen on the
grounds, ''Our Bob and Kearns excelling
The visitors were far ahead Of the home
club in their batting of safe hits, till the lat
ter part of the game, when our boys eraWled
up on them, but errors were made at crltlca |
times which lost them the game. The UNI
piring in yesterdays game was the worst
ever witnessed on the grounds, and we have
had some mighty hard umpiring before. The
name of the person is Bannon, and If the
New England League doesn't put a ban on
him soon, very soon, we think he will be
stolen by some of mis- admirers (?(; His
chief decision Of the game was when Kearns
was attempting to field hit. The Lawrence
man who was running from second to third
base, deliberately pushed Kearns and caused
him to lose the ball, for which-he should
have been instantly declared out, but Ban

did not like this, and actually. thought that
more weight than the judgment Of the pig
headed umpire. Other glaring errors were
distributed by him to the PortlandS during
the rest of the game The official score fol

GEN. JOHN A. LOGAN.
Banquet in His Honor in Provi-
dence, r. !.
His Remarks Concerning the Recent
Labor Troubles.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., May N.-Gen. John
A. Logan was the guest of the Young Mems
Republican Club tonight and 500 gentlemen
sat down to a banquet in his honor at
o'clock Adjournment was had to Music
Hall at s o'clock, where Gen. Logan adj
dressed $500 people for over an hour. In the
course Of his remarks he said: We have
lately been having what are known as labor
troubles do not say we have never had
them before but we never have had the
anarchy, confusion and desperation tnat
have been shown recently since this admin
istration has come into office. Ii l had the
power l should say, and the Republlcan
party would say, if scapital became tyrant
it should be checked in its tyranny and the
Republican party would be willing to do it.
But if by violation of the law men do not
observe the rights of life, liberty or property
in the vindlcatiOn of some real or fancied
wrong and shall by the destruction of prop
erty or life injure the interests of the coun-
try, let the letter of the law be enforced
against the rioters or murderers, Capital
and labor cannot be enemies, and the men
who do such deeds are the enemies, not
friends, of labor"
Later the Grand Army of the Republic
veterans held a campfire in Infantry Hall,
in Gen. Logan's honor, and he was given a
fattering ovation from a crowded house.
Lieut.. A. w. Greedy, the Arctic explorer,
was also a guest and was given cordial re-
ception when introduced. When the eXer-
ciSes were declared ended the war veterans
present made rush for the stage en- masse
to grasp the distinguished comrades hand
They we're wild with excitement and enthu-
slasm and Gen. Logan had to be rescued
and conducted from the hall.

SHOCKING p
The wife Of
Killed by Jumping from Carriage.

The telegraph, Thursday, briefly reported
the accident in Central Park, New York, in
which the wife of the Hon. George II. Pen
dleton. our minister to Germany, lost her
life. Mrs. PendletOn and her daughter left
Berlin two months ago and came to New
York and nursed the wife OF Mr.. Pendle-
toms son Frank, till her death. They were
intending to return to Germany very soon.
Thursday they hired a livery team and with
driver started for drive in Central Park.
The party entered the Park at the Fifth ave-
nue. entrance, then turned mp the centre
drive and went north to within about 800
feet of the Webster statue Here the horse
took fright at something behind. which the
driver thinks was vehicle making I9lh- iL-
herring noise. The horse started running
away. The driver was pulled over the dash
board. He held on to the reins, and was
dragged to within about $50 feet OF the Web
ster statue. At that point both the ladies'
screamed and jumped out on the east side
toward the grass plot.
Miss Pendleton, who sat on the right, was
first. She fell on the grass border. Mrs.
Pendleton fell on the road upon her head.
The horse ran furiously four or five rods
farther and brought up with its head in
lilac bush near the watering trough on the
circle and was secured. Meanwhile Mrs.
Pendleton has been taken up quite dead on
the gravel and laid on the grass by the road
side. Policeman Hall got some water, and
with that and the practice of artificial respi-
ration he restored Miss Pendleton to con-
seiousness. She was suffering from the shock
and from severe bruises of the face and
scalp.
Mrs. Pendleton was 81 years old and was
married in 1876. She was Miss Alice Key,
daughter of Francis Scott Key, author of
'The Star Spangled Banner" and sister of
Philip Barton Key, who was killed by Gen
era Sickles. She was the niece Of Chief
Justice Roger B. Taney.

TSpecial to the Press

RICHMOND May 21.-Work in the shoe
factory is at low ebb. The shop was put
on half time the first of this week, and
number of the operatives have been dis
charged, several of whom have accepted
situations in other places, and others will
soon follow. A few months ago the shop
was put on a scale of prices, adopted by the
firm and the Knights of Labor, since which
time the work has been steadily decreasing,
much of the work formerly done here being
now sent to the Pittsfeld, N. H., shop, run
by the same firm, but at non-union prices.
The change is much felt here, the pay roll
having decreased about 70 per cent. 1t is
hoped some arrangement can be made to
bring about a better state of affairs, though
it is probable not much improvement will be
felt during the present run, which is too far
along to make any considerable change at
present.
The saw mill here has not yet started.
Between 70 and so men are usually employed,
but the firm say they will not start until
they are assured of no interference in work
ing hours or the management Of the business
by their men or outside parties.
Martin Irons Fugitive.
ST. LOUIS, May 21.-It is said that Martin
Irons had a narrow escape from mob of
strikers last night or early this morning The
men are very bitter towards him, and it is
asserted that they visited his residence for
the purpose of warning him to leave the
city. He must have received an inkling that
he would be called upon, as he passed the
night at the house of a friend, and boarded a
train this morning for parts unknown.
The grand jury has indicted 50 of the late
strikers on the railroads. Many of them
escaped before the warrants could be served
on them, and only four have been arrested.
Chicago Anarchists Indicted for
Murder.
CHICAGO, May 21.-Indictments for con-
spiracy to murder were formally returned
this evening by the grand jury against Aug
Spies, Sam Fielding and A. K. Parsons, the
Anarchists. These three were the speakers
at the Haymarket meeting which preceded
the bomb throwing and the riot on May 4th.
The investigation as to the others accused of
completely in the crime has not yet been
completed.
Labor Notes,
Owing to concessions on the part of the
jOurneymen carpenters, work was resumed
yesterday in Boston on large number of
buildings, though many of the strikers did
not succeed in securing their old positions.

THE TELEPHONE.
A story that is Likely to Create SEN
sation.
Patent Examiner WILDER Says Elisha
Gray was Deprived of His Rights.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-In the Bell tele-
phone case to-day certain affidayits were
offered by Mr. Van Benthuysen in support
of the testimony heretofore introduced by
him, and tomorrow in secret session the com
mittee will decide whether to go into this
branch of the case. One of the affidayits was
by Zenas Fiske WILDER, who was principal
examiner in the United States patent Office
in charge of the division embracing all the
applications for patents relating to the years
1875 and 1876 and till May /, 1877. The APP
plication of Alex Graham Bell was made and
dated March 7, 1876, for multiple tele-
graph" This patent, Wilber swears, was
referred to him and passed to issue, In re-
gard to other affdavits made by the deponent
and used in the telephone controversy, he
sWearS that the exact facts were not given
therein in relation to the manner in which
this and other patents to Bell We're issued.
These previous affidavits were made by him
under circumstances which he now proposes
to relate and were obtained from him to
serve the purpose and ends of the parties
who influenced him. In this connection he,
in order that the parties may be yindicated
and an injustice reetihed, says:
II have concluded to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. 1t will be i'm
possible for the courts of the country to
mete out exact justice without knowledge OF
the influence brought TO pear on me Wnlle
examiner in the Patent office in 1875, 1876
and 1877, which caused me to show Prof.
Bell Elisha Grays cayeat, then under my
charge and control as by law provided, and
which caused me to favor in various ways in
acting on the several applications for patents
by him made. | have concluded to follow
my present course regardless Of conse
quences without hope or promise of reward
or favor on one hand, and without fear of
the results on the other hand The affidavits
before referred to were given at the request
of the Bell Company by Swan, OF its counsel,
and one was given when was afflicted with
and suffering from alcoholism and asthma
Under such conditions my faculties were not
in their normal condition. and was in ef-
feet duped to sign it, not fully realizing then
as | do now the statements therein con-
tanned / had been drinking, and was men
tally depressed, nervous and not in a fit con-
dition for so important matter. As stated
did not realize then and could not in my then
condition, the effect or scope of the affidavit~
the data for which were supplied by Swan,
who paidm 800 therefor for the Bell Com
pany. In this instance and at this time am
entirely and absolutely free from any alcO-
holic taint whatever. am convinced that
by my action while examiner of patents
Elisha Gray was deprived of the proper op-
portunity to establish his right to the inven-
tion of the telephone.
