Wheeling is now but 70 points behind
Lima and her old position at the head
Of the Tri-state League column. This
week is likely to see her get still closer
to that coveted. place. The fact that
Sandusky was able to defeat Columbus
yesterday, together with the further fact
that Lima is putting up a weak game,
leads to the hope that Sandusky will be
able to pull Lima's percentage down in
the Fourth OF July series they are to
play.
Wheeling will have to work hard to
keep her place this week. GAINESVILLE is
but a few points behind and is playinga
very strong game. The Kickapoos were
Wheeling's meat on the last Fourth,
and it is hoped that they may
be again taken in this year.
They make their first appearance
here to-day. Tomorrow the two clubs
will go to Steubenville to play game.
Wednesday they will play two games
here. Special attention is called to the
advertisement Of these games. Both
teams will play for all that is in them
and the sport should draw large crowds.
Sandusky will follow GAINESVILLE.

Enthusiasm for Harrison.
Special Correspondence Of he EatetIi0aer.
RIrcHIE G. H., W. Va, June 20.-The
Republican County Convention which
met here to select delegates to the State,
Congressional, Senatorial and Judicial
conventions was largely attended and
was one OF the most representative
bodies Of Republicans ever seen here.
The convention was called TO order by
Il. II. Frier, OF the county committee,
who reported G. +. Haddox for tempo
rary chairman and Hon. J. NJ. McKin-
ney for secretary.
1t was moved to make the temporary
organization permanent, but the men
favoring Davis for Judge OF the Fourth
Circuit, which was the bone OF conten-
ton, moved to substitute Jacob Clam
mer. After much elimination and re-
elimination vote was taken by tellers
and resulted in victory for the Morris
men, Haddox being elected by vote OF
1853 to 92.
Committees were then appointed and
selected the necessary number of dele
gates to each convention.
The delegation for Governor will like
ly be divided between Duval and Nc
Lean, while Morris has the call for judi
ciai honors.
The resolutions were stirring and
patriotic and were adopted aInid'great
enthusiasm.
]. S. Archbold, who served in Gen.
Harrison's brigade during the late un-
pleasantness, addressed the convention
briefly and his remarks were received
with great applause.
Richie county is well pleased with
the admirable ticket named at Chicago
and may be put down for her usual large
Republican majority, only little larger
than usual.

THE WHEELING BALL TEAM
still Moving Forward to First Plaos---Gen
oral hall News.


Saturday afternoon an alleged game OF
ball was played at Island Park between
the Wheelings and that promising
amateur organization, the Cyclones. Six
innings were played during which
Wheeling scored 27 times and allowed
the Cyclones to make 5 scores. It was
really nothing more than practice game
for the Wheeling team preparatory to
the game played with Canton at Canton
yesterday, which the Wheeling team
won handsomely.
In Saturdays game, keenan,, the Pitts
burgher who was to be given trial by
Wheeling, pitched for the Cyclones. In
the first two innings he was touched up
for u hits, which netted Is runs. W.
l. Addy, the Bethany boy, pitched for
Wheeling in the first two innings and
the Cyclones were blanked. The pitch
ers were then exchanged, and the Cy-
clones succeeded in making few runs.
The Wheelings also made twelve more
runs in the succeeding four innings, but
they were mostly unearned. Addy
pitched good game, but his support
was miserable. Nearly all the runs were
made when the side should have been
retired. Addy has in him the making
Of good twirler, his delivery being
speedy and his curves good.
After this game the Wheeling boysle left
for Canton over the O., L. & W. road.
The following special dispatch tells Of
their victory yesterday:

an easy victory. Kimber pitched an

PIrrsDURGH, Pa, July 1.-The inter-
view with S. Il. Ibeck, Of Worcester
shire, England, which was printed We'd
nesday, has attracted widespread atten-
ton. The gcntleman's radical views on
economic questions, and particularly in
favor OF protection, rs affecting England,
were somewhat surprising to many. To
one Pittsburgher, however, they were
not. He is F. z. S. Peregrino, OF 246
Fifth avenue. AS Mr.. Peregrino was
said to have personal knowledge OF the
facts, reporter interviewed him yester-
day. He said:
"Having had from youth up unusual
opportunities for the study OF this Ques-
ton in that country, having sat, as it
were, Mt the feet Of the Gamaliels OF the
respective political parties and heard
the best arguments pro and con on the
question, having watched and carefully
noted the fatal effects upon the working
people OF the principles OF free trade, |
thoroughly concur in Mr.. s. Rllbeck's
remarks. To-day there is noticeable
absence Of that energy and fire that char
aCterized the utterrances OF the free
trader OF few years ago. Whereas for
merly the free trader held out that Eng
lands greatness and commercial pros
perity could only be maintained by free
ing her ports to all, to-day he approaches
the question apologetiCaIly, and were it
not for the attendant indignity he would
beat nm ignominious retreat"
"Why not adopt protection, then"
asked the reporter.
"The English people are essentially
conservative-slow OF action. 1t is COM
ing, however, slowly but surely. The
wOrkingman, realizing the blessings OF
free trade in scanty cupboards and scan
tier wardrobes, is beginning to think F;
and from my knowledge OF him, can
assure you that he, having arrived at an
opinion, expresses it. AS member OF
the largest workingmen's political socie-
ties in the county of Worcester, may
claim to know him."
"Isn't this a pointer for free trade ad-
vocates in the United States ?"
"Let the free trade party appoint q
n commission OF investigation and send
over to that country. Your humble ser.
want will offer his services to such COM
mission, and II, after couple Of months
tour, the most rabid OF them is not con-
verted from his suicidal views, then
there is no hope Of that man."

Tho New Emperor. Malndy.

BERLIN, July l.-various rumors are
being circulated concerning the malady
OF the new Emperor OF Germany. 1t is
stated, for instance, that he is suffering
from cancer in the ear, and the possibil-
ity OF his early death is already being
discussed by premature writers. The i'll.
ness the Emperor is suffering from is not
cancer, but an aAliction Of which the ma
ture is not generally known. He has
been affected by it for long time, and
during the mortal illness OF the late En-
peror William he paid regular visits to
certain well known specialist in Under
den Linden. 1t is not trouble which
threatens-for the present, at least-to
cause the German throne to again be-
come vacant.

IGErTYsBuRG, Pa, July Wisconsin
dkdicated her seven monuments yester-
day on the Gettysburg battlefield. The
exercises were held at Reynolds Grove,
and within few feet Of where that
General was killed during the first days
engagement. Capt. Levi Long, Presi-
dent OF the Commission, called the
gathering to order and transferred the
monuments to the representative Of the
Governor OF Wisconsin. The level space
before the stand was crowded with the
veterans Of the Wisconsin regiments.
Governor Ruek was not present, and
the State Treasurer, Colonel II. R. Har-
shaw, accepted the monuments on be-
half OF the State. United States Sena-
tor Spooner then delivered an eloquent
orltiOn. The monuments were form
erly presented to the Gettysburg Battle
field Memorial Association by General
Lucius Fairchild. General Fairchild
spoke with great feeling, and many OF
nGAG " NSAAo+ NV
ernor Beaver as ex.0Gicio President Of
the Memorial Association, received the
memorial in the name OF the association,
promising to guard and protect them.
This closed the formal dedicatory ex-

other large and important meeting Of
the citizens OF Morgantown was held at
the Court House Saturday afternoon, to
hear the report Of the committee sent by
them to Pittsburgh to confer with the
gentlemen who are at the head OF new
glass enterprise, concerning the location
OF their plant at MOrgantOwn. Hon:
George G. Sturgiss was spokesman. OF
the committee, and made some very IN
teFesting statements. He said that tue
Pittsburgh people do not ask the people
OF Morgantown to take stock in their
enterprise, but simply want plot Of
ground furnished them sufficiently large
enough for their plant, and located
some where near the river and in close
proximity to the Baltimore < Ohio rail-
road. It was learned that Findlay, Ohio,
had made similar inducements, but that
they exhibited preference for Morgan
town.
The greatest obstacle in the way Of
our people is the uncompleted state OF
the Black Bottle Railroad. 1t is along
this line that the vast beds OF white sand
and clay are deposited, and, as i is, no
facilities for transportation are afforded.
II this one plant could be induced to
locate here the piping OF the natural gas
to Morgantown would be an assured
fact. No immediate action was taken
as regards the new enterprise, but, that
the Opening of the Monongahela river
for transportation by the Government
may be accelerated, the following reso-
lutions were adopted:
ResOfred, That the committee hereto
fore appointed be increased by the ad-
dition Of Hon. John J. Brown and Dr..
George B. Morris, and that it by suita-
BILE means request our Representatives
in the Congress OF the United States to
insist upon the appropriation in the
River and Harbor bill now before 1t for
the purchase OF the locks and dams on
the Monongahela river.

IxD1AxApoLIs, 1XD., July l.-Stephen
B. Elkins has been in this city several
days, and is the guest Of Gen. Harrison.
In speaking of the Chicago nominations,
Mr.. Elkins said they had been well re-
ceiyed all over the country, and with
even more enthusiasm than WAS ex.
pected.
"The ticket" said Mr.. Elkins, "is a
growing one, and will grow. 1t has all
the elements of strength. Apart from
General Harrison coming from doubt
ful State, his life and character and pub
lie service furnish an excellent platform
for the contest. His life forces contest
against him to be one OF principle.
Personalities, so far rs he is concerned,
are to be eliminated from the cam
paign."
NEW YORK UNITED.
Mr.. Elkins commented on the fact
that New York continuously supported
Mr.. Harrison in the convention, and
said this action was noticeable to the
whole country; that he was the only
man upon whom the different factions in
New York could be united. This OF
itself augurs well forzthe ticket and Of
fers personal hope for success. -,
ain my opinion Gen. Harrison will
largely increase the Republican vote in
the country districts in that State, and
he will get the full party vote in New
York city and Kings county"
Mr.. Eikins alluded to the ratification
meeting in New York Friday night
saying:
on tho platform were Patrick Ford,
editor ofthe Irish World, and many
leading representatives Of the various
local labor organizations. The
presence OF Mr.. Ford indicates
that the Irish and laboring peo-
pie OF the east understand the issue
Of protection. There is no more ardent
advocate OF that principle in the country
than he, and his presence there has IN
spired and encouraged leading Irishmen
throughout the country. This | have
found to be true, especially in Nebraska,
Missouri and Illinois. Mr.. Ford is a
great man, and is power in politics"
