wHEBLTYGY FIRST DEFEAT.
Kalamazoo Takes Game staplstOn Is
BADLY Hurt.

Badly Hurt.
Wheeling's ball team yesterday suffer
editsfrst defeat in the Tri-state Leagues
championship series. The zuloos from
Kalamazoo, the on's who weret he most
anxious to take scalp from Manager
Buckenberger, their former second base
man, secured the game by score OF Z to
and were Correspondingly happy.
There were several apparent causes OF
defeat. The first and most glaring, was
Umpire Sullivan; the manner in which
he roasted Wheeling ut the very outset
was enough to upset the nerve and con-
fidence OF any team Of ball players; his
work was simply awful and created al
most enough warmth among the Wheel
ings and spectators to Counteract the
chilling effects Of the bitter cold wind
that swept down from the north and
made even those wrapped up in heavy
overcoats, shiver. 1t was anything but
a pleasant day for base ball or any
other outdoor sport; like Sui
livan's umpiring, it was awful,
and the two taken in connection with
the defeat, made the handful that wit
messed the game thoroughly disguised.
In the very first inning Wheeling was
forced by Sullivan to put out five men
fairly and clearly, before they could re-
tire the side. This imposition gave
Wheeling the rattles and the errors COM
menced to pile up in manner that
could mean nothing less than, defeat.
That the home team was not shut out
entirely is to be considered wonder.
To add to the other drawbacks and
discouraging state Of affairs, in the fourth
inning Stapleton, the efficient first base
man OF the home team, was knocked out
and seriously hurt by a pitched ball.
There were two men on bases, and
Sweeney, who was pitching for Kalama-
zoo, was sending the balls in hot in the
hope OF striking Stapleton out. His
fourth ball was wild and swift and be-
fore Stapleton could dodge he wasstruck
on the left temple and fell like log.
When he recovered his senses he was
deathly sick, and had to be taken to his
home in carriage. Lemons was called
in to take his place. Sullivan's partisan
work in favor OF Kalamazoo ratified the
home team, but this accident or some
thing else, threw them clear off their
feet, and they could neither bat, run
bases or field us they should. 1t was a
cold, very cold day, for the Wheeling
team.
The one run Wheeling made in the
eighth was made after two men were
out. NichOl made n base hit and was
A.. ..l l,,,,, l. "a n,1-
ahanty. Riley in fielding the ball back
made an error, and NichOl scored. Del
ahanty attempted to do likewise but
was caught out at the plate. Morrison
did not pitch the game he is capable Of
and us before referred to, his support in
the field was lame. The Kalamazoos on
the contrary were spry and watchful de-
spite the disagreeable weather, and play
ed good fielding game.
The official score is as follows:

LIFTS ITS HEAD AGAIN.
The South Penn Company to Meet in New
York for Reorganization.

The South Penn Company to Meet In New
York for Reorganization.
PIrrsBURGH, Pa, May 1.-This morn
ing the Pittsburgh stockholders received
notice that a meeting of the stock and
bondholders of the South Pennsylvania
Company has been called for May 0, at
the office of f. l.. Stetson, room y,
seventh floor OF the London, Liverpool
and Globe Insurance Company's build
ing, No. 40 William street, New York.
The meeting will be held at II o'clock,
"for such business as may come up, in
Guiding business OF special Importance"
The call is signed by S. NJ. Stevenson,
Secretary OF the Reorganization Com
mittec.
The significance of this call isapparent.
This shows that all differences are at an
end between the stockholders and that
the men who form the South Penn pool
propose to build the road.
The meeting is called to consider the
compromise agreement drawn up by
Andrew Carnegie and signed by Carne-
gle, the Vanderbilts, Hostetter, Bagaley
and others. Mr.. Carnegie objected to
the arrangement us drawn up by the
Vanderbilts and he asked to prepare
scheme which would be agreeable to
him. He did this and the others signed
it at once. This agreement was to the
effect that the stockholders should re-
organize the company, should at once
pay in 20 per cent assessment and that
Sl0,0OO,OOO OF bonds should be issued.
The sale OF bonds and the assessment
would bring in $l3,0OO,0 900, which would
easily finish the road. No water was to
be put into the securities and they were
to be gilt edge in every way.
This agreement was put into the hands
OF Bangs & Stetson, the attorneys forthe
company, and signatures for SIS, 100000
ofstock out OF $l5, 900, 600 were obtained,
the signers pledging themselves to fur
nish the cash required. About two
thirds Of the proposed issue OF bonds
were subscribed for by the Vanderbilts,
Hostetter, Carnegie and Bagaley.
At the meeting on Wednesday Of next
week, it is expected that the outlines OF
the plans OF reorganization will be pre-
pared, and that arrangements will be
made to put the road in the hands OF
contractors rs soon rs the legal prelimi-
naries have been arranged.

NATURAI GAS CHARGEs,
A Great Deal of Kicking over Very Slight
Increase.


Increase.
For several days past there have been
expressions of indignation, growing
louder and more general each day, over
an increase in the price of natural gas.
Statements have been made that rates
were higher by 60 to rs per cent. A re-
porter inquired at the Wheeling Com
pany's office yesterday as to the founda-
ton for this report. and was informed
that that company had made no in
crease in the rates to manufactures in
this city, though contracts are now made
for but 80 days, and il there should be
an increase the company could realize
on it in short time. At the West Vir-
ginia Company's office Secretary Hurd
refused at first to say anything about
the increase. When the reporter asked /:
"If l make contract to-day for gas,
what will you furnish it for?" Mr..
Hurd responded:
"Do you want to make a contract"
"No, SIR"
"Then decline to tell you"
subsequently, uOWcNcT, Ho b1Iu tllhe
there had been some changes by way Of
equalizing charges where figures had
been made too low through erroneous
information, and that general increase
on new contracts had been ordered, but
it would not average 10 per cent. The
manner OF paying has been changed also
Heretofore the aggregate charge for q
year was paid in seven instruments in
the seven colder months. Now equal
payments are made each month, so that
while charges are in the aggregate little
higher, the payments are smaller.
Last evenings Bellaire Independent
says: "The Wheeling Natural Gas Com
pany notified some OF the flint factories
this morning that they would have t.
make new arrangement with them be
fore they resumed Operations, and wert
answered that an arrangement had al
ready been made and signed, the term
of which did not expire for more than
year."
There is also great deal OF feeling a
Martins Ferry, but just how just it il
time alone can show.

concealed weapons. Ed Elliott was also
arraigned for assault on Gardner, but
the evidence showed that though he did
beat Gardner up pretty badly, it was in
trying to keep him from entering the
saloon with his pistol. He was dis
missed. The trouble is blamed on Nei-
hause, who insulted Gardner grossly.
Gardner expects to give bail in day or
