SEVERAL RUNS SCORED.
The Game in Which Tallies Came
Like Snow Flakes.

The greatest run-getting game in base
ball annals was played at Buffalo, n.
Y, June 5, 1869, between the Niagara
and Columbia clubs. Inquiries about
this game led the Buffalo Express to un-
earth the score few days ago, and as it
presents a curious contrast to modern
scores it is presented herewith:

Waddell & Burt's Louisville books on
the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky
handicap have attracted such heavy
speculation during the past two weeks
that quite extensive changes have been
brought about in the odds since they
the rates are not attractive because they
are not fair in the case of the favOrites.
The Lyon is established as firm favor
ite for the Derby because his owner took
$4,000 to 5000 about his chances. The
Kentucky handicap presents the rather
ridiculous feature of three favorites,
each at the low price of ten to one. The
odds on the leading favorites in each
event are as follows:

TURNED TEMPERANCE ADVOCATES.
But his Democratic friends and their
allies, the distillers and bre Wers and saloon
Keepers, had recently developed wonderful
regard for temperance, and had become
great temperance champions, protesting
against whisky being made cheaper. But
he told them that the temperance sentiment
OF the country was rapidly crystalizing
into the opinion that the sooner the tax
ON whisky was repealed the better and
quicker the principles of temperance would
be subserved He could see, however, one
or two objections to its repeal, and one Of
them was that so much revenue could not
be spared. He (Nir. Frye favored abolish
ing the duty on sugar and paying American
sugar producers a bounty equal to the tax
taken of. But if the purpose of the Demo-
cratic party was to destroy the tariff and to
cripple many and absolutely destroy some
OF the industries of the country, the Presi-
dents method could, of course do that.

BROOKS MUST HANG.
The Supreme Court Refuses to Inter-
fere in His Behalf

The Supreme Court Refuses to Inter-
fere in His Behalf
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Ten or twelve
decisions were rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States to-day, but none
of them were of general interest except that
in the case of Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias w. H.
Maxwell against the State of Missouri.
This is the famous Maxwell-Preller murder
case. Brooks or Maxwell, the plaintiff in
error, is now in prison in st. Louis under
sentence of death for the murder of c..
Arthur Preller in April, 1885. The
case was brought to this court
upon a writ of error from the Supreme
Court Of Missouri, and the decision here is
upon a motion made by the Attorney
General of that State to dismiss it for want
Of jurisdiction. This court is unable, after
q careful examination Of the record, to find
that the plaintiff in error has been deprived
of any right, privilege or immunities guar
anteed to him by the constitution Of the
United States, aud the motion to dismiss
for want of Jurisdiction is therefore granted.
The decision was announced by Chief
Justice Waite, and its effect is to affirm
the sentence of death pronounced by the
State court.

A WHYO STRETCHES HEMP
HIS NECK BROKEN AND HIS DEATH
FREE FROM PAIN.

The Tombs Surrounded by Policene en-
to Cverawe Hard-Looking Crowd
OF the Prisoners Companions-The
Killing OF Cir the Crime Which Led
to the Execution.
New York, Jan. 23.-Driscon was
hanged at TBS o'clock this morning. The
Tombs was surrounded by $50 police, under
command of Inspector Williams, and they
had plenty to do in keeping order among
the groups of young men, whose hard faces
told that they were remnants of the once
famous Whyo gang. Among them were
brazen-faced young women of the class to
which the Beezy Garity woman, for taking
whose life Driscoll was to pay the forfeit,
belonged. Driscoll went to sleep about
midnight, but awoke at $50 o'clock this
morning, and from that time until he w as
taken to the gallows was engaged with a
priest. He walked to the scaffold
with firm step, and before
the trap was sprung cried out
IN loud voice. Jesus have mercy on me ="
His neck was broken, and the end cams
without a struggle. Commodore Eldridgs
Guerry, chairman of the legislative cont
mlttee appointed 10 recommend the most
humene method of executing criminals. was
a member of the Sheriff's jury at the hang
ing. He expressed himself as much pleased
With the quickness of death, but said that in
view of the numerous bungling hangings n
recommendation of the use of electricity
would be presented.
PROFESSIONAL CRIMINAL.
Driscoll was a professional criminal, and
his proficiency in his trade had made him
the leader of one of the toughest gangs that
ever cursed the metropolis. They called
themselves the "Whyos" from their peculiar
cry of exultation, recognition or warning
The woman he killed was his companion
and the bullet which killed her was intended
for man against whom Driscol had n
grudge Drlscoll was sent to the peniten-
tiary at the age of II for pocket
picking and had served several
terms aggregating seven years. His
trial was stubbornly contested. His
companions in crime raised all the money
necessary TO employ slxillful lawyers, and
exhausted all the means known to defeat or
delay the ends of justice. In prison he was
one of the most difficult and dangerous to
manage Of whom there is any record. Az
one time he obtained knife with which he
intended to kill the warden, but he failed
to carry out his purpose.

TOBACCONISTS ASSIGN.
Their Assets $125,ooo Less than Their
Liabilities.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-M. e E. Solomon,
tobacco dealers, at No. S. Maiden Lane,
made an assignment to-day, with prefer
ences aggregating SCI ,319. The assignment
was forced by the coming due to-day of
large drafts which the assignors could not
meet. Dull trade and slow collections are
given as the principal cause of the failure.
Another cause is an investment
in Western tobacco of 1894,
which turned out badly. The
liabilities are roughly estimated at $3.50, 000
The assets consist of a large consignment
of Havana and Sumatra tobacco and out
standing accounts, which the attorney for
the firm thinks will realize at moderate
estimate $250,0OO. The firm was established
in 1852, and always stood high in CONNER
cial rating

a REPLY TO CORBIN.
The Joint Committee Of the Miners
Issues an Address.

l6Su0S I'LL AQuTGSS.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Jan 23.--The miners
joint committee has issued long address
in reply to President Corbins manifesto
yesterday. They go over his statements
and arguments in detail, and say
that whatever Mr.. Corbins information
may be as to the reason why the miners re-
fused to continue work after Jan. /, 1--WE
have only to say that the miners quit work
because the company refused the advance
asked for and would not agree TO
arrange a meeting with the committee for
the purpose of agreeing to arbitrate the
question as was done in September last
The miners had no desire to drive the
company out of the competitive market,
nor compel them to resort to any business
policy to its patrons or consumers,
or interfere with its right to manage its
own property or its Fright to employ
in The mining of its coal 80 that 1t will have
an equal chance with its neighbors in the
long competing market into which anthra-
cite coal goes, or in anything else, only
where the miners rights are entitled to
consideration. Whether "the 81 80 basis
established by this company in
1875 is liberal one to the
miners" and other workingmen, or whether
''under that basis they received as much
wages as miners received in other locali-
ties" are open questions. The fact that the
50 80 basis imposed upon the miners after
the six months lockout of 1875 was then
and has ever since been considered
unfair is the reason why the
miners organized this committee,
and instructed them to make the demand
for an advance based upon the ew schedule
of wages and contract prices. 1t remains
to be seen, having not yet been proven, that
the Schuylkill miners receive as much
money for their labor as miners in other
localities, and what is true Of the miners in
this case is also true of the laborers and
mechanics, who are as much interested, and
who are included in the consideration.

The Government Wants the Canal

LONDON, Jan. 23-The Times CORES
pondent at Paris telegraphs portion of the
report made by M. Rousseau, who was sent
to Panama in 1886 in behalf of the French
government, which, the correspondent al
leges, the government has hitherto kept Sc
cret The report says the Panama canal
enterprise is feasible but it is problematical
whether the work will be finished unless the
project is simplihed In any case the work
has reached such a point that it
ought not to be abandoned, and
therefore France. rather than offer obstruc-
tiOn, ought to assist as far as possible in its
completion. NJ. Rousseau says, however,
that before deciding to assent to loan, the
government shonld require guarantees that
the project will he simplified. The Times
correspondent claims that Count DeLesseps
has shown distinct willingness to adopt the
necessaey modification and has siackened
work on the canal within the past fifteen
months with that very object. In view of
this, he fails to understand Premier tt
rard's opposition TO the canal.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.
Senator Chandler Introduces a Bill to
Regulate Them.

Senator Chandler Introduces a Bill to
Regulate Them.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Chan
dler introduced a bill to-day to regulate
national elections of members of Congress.
1t grants the Circuit and District Courts
power by writs of mandamus and prohibi-
tion, which may be directed when necessary
to any officers of the State, to compel an en-
forcement of the laws with reference to the
election of Congressman, to prevent
the issuance of any certificate
OF election where an election has been con
Quoted illegally, or the apparent result pro
cured by fraud. Whenever the laws of the
State require any person to appoint suit
able persons to hold Congressional elections
and the persons so appointed can
not read nor write, or have
at any election, State or national,
been guilty of any illegal practices it is
made the duty of the court, on the sworn
petition of any person setting out these
facts, to hear the case, and if the allega-
tions are found to be true to issue prohlbi-
ton to prevent the appointment of an un-
suitable person or persons. 1t also directs
that If after any election for Representa-
tive In Congress a petition shall be
filed in the Circuit or District Court alleging
that it is done under State election laws, or
that the result was procured by fraud or in
timidation, it shall be the duty of the court
to issue a restraining order to prevent the
State authorities from issuing any certificate
of election, and the Clerk of the House from
placing the name of the person claimed to
be elected upon the rolls of the House. The
case shall then be heard, and, if the allega-
tions against the validity of the election are
found TO be true, the restraining order shall
continue in force until the case is decided
by the House of Representatives.
