CANTOSs CRACK BATTERY
Is Beautifully Exploded by wheelIng's
sluggers-other bali Games.

sluggers-other ball Games.
The Wheeling ball team won its ninth
consecutive victory yesterday afternoon
by again defeating the Canton team at
Island park, by a score of 10 to o. One
OF the principal features Of the game
was the miserable work OF Bause-
wine and Hoenemann, afectionately
termed by their Canton admirers the
"pretzel battery" the German Irwin
cibles" and other pet names. They
formed battery as full OF conCeit MS an
egg is of meat and the manner in which
Inc conceit was knocked out of them,
was very gratifying to those who had
heard OF their boasts rs to how they
would make Wheeling seek the COM
pany OF old Hollow-eyed Defeat.
The audience OF 500 amused itself ap-
plauding the heavy hitting OF the home
team, laughing at the evident discom-
future Of that crack Canton battery and
venting its indignation in vigorous hiss
ing over some OF the bad decisions Um-
pire McDermott was guilty OF. The
principal one OF these, and which reused
the audience to boiling pitch, was his
Judgment on n ball hit by Otterson.
McDermott, who umpires after the
Gaflney plan, was standing behind the
pitcher at tile time, in order to be en-
abled to see Nichol get from first to Sec
ond. Standing there he is in no
position to accurately Judge Il
ball that hits near the foul
lines, q fact that Mr.. Gatfney acknowl-
edges is the one great drawback to UNI
piring from behind the pitcher. Otter
son knocked out n lively hit to right.
Virtue and Delaney both ran for II, but
failed to reach the spot.where it fell in
time. 1t struck about two feet inside
the foul line and then took q big bound
over the line. 0tterson reached second
on it and Nichol could have easily made
home. McDermott called it u foul and
then there was storm OF indignation in
which even the ladies' took hand.
Doubt was freely expressed MS to whether
McDermott saw where the ball fell.
There were two balls knocked over
that famous right field fence; one was a
two baser by 0tterson, the other home
run home hit that went over that part
Of the fence where the prize bulls eye
is painted. 1t was in the eighth inning
that Wheeling did her heavy batting,
There were eight men at bat and home
run, two triples, double and two sin
giles were raped out. That was the
final straw that broke Bausewine's
heart he lost his temper then, also, andin
the succeeding half when Canton was al
the bat and Yak had his thumb knock,
ed out OF joint, spitefully shouted
"Now he's broke his finger, let's go fol
EN-" The stand Kissed this remark in
no gentle manner. Flanagan, while hi
gave four men on bases and made
three expensive wild pitches, made NJ
for this by effective work the balance o
the time. Yak was in u general!
broken-up condition and was weak; hi'
passed balls accounted for two run
made by the opposition.
The official score is us follows:

AT nARRISON'S HOME,


How He Received the News--He Is Tender
ed an Ovation.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 25.-When
General Harrison left his office this
afternoon his carriage was waiting to
take him home. AS he descended the
steps, he looked somewhat pale from
momentary excitement, but his man
ner was cool and collected.
The crowd was anxious to
haul his carriage. Thousands shout
ed, "Take the horses outl" and a
movement was made to do this, but
friends interfered. The colored driver
touched the horses with his whip, and
in q few minutes the General was whirl-
ingo on his way home. He hardly reached
his handsome residence in the northern
part OF the city before the people began
to flock thither in great numbers and
the house and the front yard soon filled
with crowded mass of men, women
and children, all anxious to congratulate
the candidate. In u few moments con.
gratulatory kilograms began to reach
the General from prominent men in all
parts OF the country, including some Of
the late candidates before the Conven,
ton, many delegates, Senators and Rep
resentatives, leading Republican repre-
sentatives and personal friends.
While hundreds OF people were con
stantly leaving the Generals residence
other hundreds continued to arrive
and the house and grounds were crowded
all the afternoon. Among tie delega-
tons that called was one o.
two hundred voters from Hendricks
county, headed by State Senator
Campbell and Mr.. Hogan, who came in
on special train to congratulate the
Genera! and urge him to attend a meet
ing OF Republicans who voted for Ere

DISASTROUS BURNING
In EtnayiIIe, across the River,
Yesterday Forenoon.
SIX HOUSES ARE DESTROYED
Involving Loss of About $4,000.
The Flames Originate in Saloon
Cellar and Sweep n Whole
BIock-Narrow Escape.

About five o'clock yesterday morning
the people Of Etnaville were aroused
by an alarm Of fire, caused by blaze
which was discovered in the cellar Of
Kyne's saloon, just opposite the Etna
mill. The fire spread rapidly, as there
was no means Of preventing it, and
soon five frame buildings, one owned by
Mr.. Gus Breidenstein and four by Mr..
John Ulrich, were burned to the
ground.
The Breidenstein property was occu-
pied by Mr.. John Kyne, the down
stairs used us saloon and the upstairs
as residence.
About five o'clock, as John Smith,
Kyne's bartender, was about to enter
the saloon 10 begin business, he noticed
smoke issuing from the cellar, and ut
once gave the alarm OF fire.
Nearly all the hands at the Etna and
Standard mills were soon on the scene,
and the saloon doors were broken open,
but it was then too late to save anything
in the bar, US the flames were burning
fercely underneath. Mr.. Smith hurried
up stairs and wakened Mrs. Kyne, who
was alone in the house. She had barely
time to dress and hurry down stairs, so
rapidly did the fire spread.
The Atlantic engine and reel were tel
ephoned for, but arrived too late TO save
the burning building aud those adjoin.
ing. The kyne residence was soon q
mass OF ruins, together with everything
in it, a few boxes OF cigars and small
articles only being carried out.
The adjoining tenement house OF six
rooms, occupied by Phil Thomas and
Thomas Johns, was soon in u blaze, and
next a one-story house occupied by Mrs.
Young, and one adjurning that which
was empty.
The flames then communicated to a
two.story tenement house occupied by
Mr.. Job to the south OF Kyne's, and
that was burned to the ground excepting
one corner that was left standing.
The fire engine did much good work
toward saving the Etna mill office and
Ulrich's hall across the street. The
windows in those buildings were broken
by Jus AeAI hHu tHS SoAHASSS O"uAy
scorched.
Mr.. Ulrich's loss is placed by him at
$1,000, and he has over 5000 insurance
on his four buildings. The Breiden
stein property was insured for 81, S0(
through r. ?. Howell, Of Bridgeport
and Mr.. Kyne had insurance OF abou
the same amount on his household
goods, liquors and bar fixtures. Mr.
Kyne was in st. Clairsville at the time
OF the fire and was sent for.
The fire was of incendiary origin, NJ
one having any idea as to how the con
flagration started. Mr.. Job, Mrs
Young, Mr., Johns and Mr.. Thomas al
succeeded in saving everything OF Valu'
in their houses, by the diligent work o
their neighbors and Chief Dunning, o

THE CRUCIAL TEST.

The severe analytical tests to which the various baking
powders have from time to time been placed have demon
strated clearly to the public the relative merits of the
different brands from scientific point of view. The Gov
eminent chemists for instance have found in their official
tests that the Royal Baking Powder gave off the largest
amount of leavening gas, and therefore the most
economical for general They also found the Royal to
be absolutely pure, and the only baking powder that did
not contain either lime alum bone rock phosphate
For these reasons they recommended it for Government
uses, and it is now used in the War; Navy and Indian
departments.
But the crucial test of the kitchen is, after ALL the
most satisfactory to the housekeeper baking powder
that never fails to make light sweet wholesome and pal
able bread biscuit, cake etc., is the one that will be
selected by the practical housekper and received into her
kitchen for continuous use This test the Royal Baking
Powder has stood for twenty years without failure
and hence its reputation the best baking powder made
has spread from house to house. until its has become
as universal as its merits are unrivaled.
