BASE BALL.

What Manager Buckenberger Says.
The Wheeling base ball team arrived
home yesterday morning at five o'clock
and were at practice On the Island park
yesterday morning. Manager Bucken'
berger and every member Of the club are
indignant at the way they were treated on
the trip by some Of the umpires, especially
by Stellberger on Thursday.
"why," said Manager Buckenbsrger,
it was nothing more than highway rob
berry. The game should have ended 3 to /
in our favor if Stellberger had given US
any show at all, but he seemed determined
that we should lose and he succeeded in
having it that way. The crisis came in
the ninth when Brodie was called out at
second and Van SAINT was declared out on
foul tip when the ball was at least six
inches from his bat. Icouldn't stand such
rank robbery as that and told Stellberger
50. Yak also kicked, but Knauss said moth
ing, We three were sitting on the play
ers bench and he ordered MS off. We re-
fused to 90. He then told us il we did
not 10 in Eve minutes he would give the
game to GAINESVILLE. Billy 0tterson was
in the box ready to bat, but Stellberger
waited five minutes and as we did not
move from our position he awarded the
game to GAINESVILLE 8 too There is no
rule in any book which gives the umpire
the right to give game TO club because
players not in uniform refuse to leave the
players bsnch, and will protest the game
The only thing he could have done when
We refused to leave on his order was to
have rs put off by an officer, but he
wanted to give ZAnesviHe the game and
30 overstepped his rights.
"Why several Zinesville people-lesd-
ing business men and travelling men told
me afterwards that they never
saw such robbery on ball
ground before, and even Mr.. /. A. Moore
came to me and asked us not to hlsme the
club, because they could not helpit. Some
of the GAINESVILLE players also acknowl-
edged that We had been outrageously
treated. In fact, we got rough treatment
from umpires every place we played, but
/ did not kick much until that Sunday
game at Columbus, of which We were
robbed. But Thursdays game was the
worst ever saw.
"The umpires of the Tri-State League
are all home umpres, undoubtedly, and
Frank 0'Brien, who is q square man,
handed in his resignation on that account.
He positively refused TO give any home
club the best of il, and as all the rest OF
them are of that kind, he declined 70
travel in their class. / understand that
Stellbereer sent in his resignation TO Pres
indent McDermith after Thursdays game,
which shows the true side of the affair.
Stellberger, while sitting in the hotel after
the game, acknowledged that be had de-
cided unfairly against wheeling"

DROWNED AT SQUIRREL ISLAND.
His Friends Heroic Efforts to Save
the Lost Mans Life.

Frank E. Upham, of Dorchester, Mass, a
guest at the Chase House, Squirrel Island,
was drowned Saturday afternoon of Pump
kin Island. The circumstances of the acci-
dent, which are thrilling, are as follows:
Frank j. Thrasher, of Boston, and Mr.. +. E.
Upham, Of Dorchester, who were cousins
and intimate friends, were spending their
vacation on Squirrel Island. They left there
Saturday noon for pleasure sailing and q
cruise among the islands. When about a
mile from Pumpkin Island they attempted to
relieve the boat Of unnecessary ballast by
throwing large rock overheard. The boat
was capsized and the occupants were thrown
into the water. This was about O'Clock.
Thrasher was an excellent swimmer the
other was not, and fright made him absolute
ly helpless. With Thrasher's assistance he
was placed on the bottom Of me upturned
boat and was towed, Thrasher swimming
alongside. into the breakers OF Pumpkin ISL
and. Here Thrasher got ashore on the rocks
dragging the boat with him. More than once
he got his exhausted companion through the
enormous breakers to the rocks. Each time
the sea carried his friend away. At last,
after almost superhuman efforts, he got the
body beyond the breakers, but found that
life was extinct. Alone upon the barren ISL
and with his dead companion, the boat hav-
ing broken up or disappeared, Thrasher re-
mained until daylight the next morning,
when he swan to the next island, Heron Isl
and, for assistance. Boats were secured and
the body was carried to Boothbay, arriving
there about o'clock Sunday afternoon. I'm
dertaker Carlisle took charge of the remains,
which were sent to Boston yesterday morn
ing. Thrasher exhibited wonderful courage
and devotion in his endeavors TO save his
friends life in the terrible sea which was

facturer enlarge his market or raise the
wages Of his employees under the terms ~
the Mills bill? IL lumber is 10 cost as much
with the tariff on as when IL Is of, why not
let 1t remain unless we wish to give the
Canadian manufacturers the benefit Of the
American market without bearing any Of Its
expenses2
II the tariff Is tax as the free trader
claims let the Canadian pay the $500 duty
on lumber, or In other words let him sell 1t
In this market and pay the $500 per thous-
and to the government for the privilege, for
ii is an injustice TO the Maine lumberman 10
tax him on the capital he invests in the man
ufactuTe OF lumber and allow the Canadian
manufacturer all the advantages Of the
Maine iumberman's market while the Maine
lumberman pays all the taxes.
Mr.. Walker also calls attention to the
treaty Of 1854 which allowed the products Of
Canada and the provinces TO come Into the
United States and vice versa. This treaty
put lumber Of eyery kind, the products OF the
farm, potatoes, hay. cattle, and horses on the
free list, practically, for the Provinces pro-
duce Just what Maine does and both seek the
same market, to wit, our market. That
treaty must have been good one for Cana
ua-peIIeet free trade in Ike kinds and only
one market as Mr.. Walker says, and that
one tne American there being no sale In
canada Tor Maine lumber OF farm products
put safe In Maine for Canadian lumber and
the products OF Canadian farms.
Mr.. walker further says the Mills bill Is 10
prevent tue collection Of any more taxes than
the public wants demand. So he believes In
taking the tariff of lumber and thus relieve
the Canadian lumbermen OF a tax Of $500
per thousand and at the expense Of the
Maine lumbefmen. Now this extra profit Of
500 TO the Canadian manufacturer would
undoubtedly relieve him Of his burden but
where the Maine manufacturers would be re-
lieyed Of theirs by such transaction only
| free trader can answer.
In alluding tOthe Mills bill Mr. Walker
says with AZ per cent. protection they say we
are for free trade. They dare not
meet the question Of tariff reform, but at
tempt to make Issue In general free trade, a
question not before the people OF the United
States" The majority Of these now In Con-
gress are for free trade 10 lumber and many
othei products Of Maine, which Is certainly
not revenue reform for Maine but actual free
trade and that Is the real issue to-day before
the American people even though Mr..
Walker says 10 the contrary. And Il Is an
issue that Is Of vital Importance 10 every one
who Is interested in the progress Of this
nation, and especially TO the great manufae-
turing department which It seeks TO ruin
whether Intentionally or otherwise.

The "ManIIest MAN.

[Alice Stone Blackwell in Christian Union.l
Mrs. Corbin says that men are "born to
physical and intellectual mastery over
women" and that the more manly they are
the more strongly they are convinced of their
prerogative in this respect If it were true
that the manifest men were opposed TO wom-
an suffrage, the fact would certainly be pre-
sumptive evidence against it. But the con-
trary is the case. OF the men now recognized
as the noblest who have lived within the
last forty years. remarkably lalge proper
ticn have been outspoken in favor of equal
rights for women. Lincoln declared for
woman suffrage in the early days of the
movement; Garfield voted for it in Congress :;
Seward said, Justice is on the side of wom-
an suffrage;" Charles Sumner said, ''In the
progress of civilization woman suffrage is
sure to Gomez" Chief Justice Chase said, 81
think there will be no end to the good that
will come by woman suffrage, on the elected,
herself" Longfellow said, "Woman suffrage
is undoubtedly coming, and ], for one, expect
a great deal of good to result from it," Whit
tier says, For over forty years l have not
hesitated to declare my conviction that JUS
tice and fair dealing, and the democratic
principles of our government, demand equal
rights and privileges of citizenship, irrespect-
i've of sex," Emerson said, s'It is very cheap
wit that finds 1t so droll that woman should
VOTE. If the wants, the passions. the vices,
are dll0Weu Iull vote, bnr0ugn the nandS OF
a half-brutal, Incorporate population, Think
it but fair that the virtues, the aspirations,
should be allowed full voice, as an offset,
through the purest of the people, Henry
Ward Eeecher, In reply to the pre- else obiee-
tion urged by Mrs. Corbin. ''Why not remain
at home and exert an influence upon public
affairs through husband, father, br other? ?"
answered, Because, while woman is ex-
cluded with contempt from political duties,
her advice and influence at home must al
ways be at the minimum. If once she began
to accept public patriotic duties she then
would exert tenfold indirect influence at
home. But now men take it for granted that
women know nothing of public affairs, and
that all their suggestions must, of course, be
the result of an Ignorant simplicity. A wom-
an is not made safe adviser by being kept
at home in ignorance Of all public affairs and
If she informs herself intelligently, then why
should she mot act Just as much as a man ?"
Among those who have expressed themselves
in favor of equal rights for women may be
mentioned Charles Kingsley and F. ID. Mau-
rice, Garrison and Phillips, Heber Newton,
James Freeman Clarke, Phillips Brooks,
Huxley, Spencer, Robert Browning and
George w. Cable. The list of names might
easily be mentioned; but perhaps enough
have been given to show that the manifest
men are not always the most strongly con-
vinced that they are entitled to mastery
over women"
