Washington. sixty thousand excursion pas
sengers, in addition 10 Its regular local and
through travel. From three O'Clock, after
noon of the 4th until midnight Of the 9th,
an equal number was carried from Wash

gers 20 the car. including Sleeping and Par
ior Cars. il required 1900 Cars to acc0mmO-
date the muliitudes Adding 70 this the
necessary number of Baggage Cars to take
care of the baggage Of passengers and the
supplies and paraphernalia Of military com
panies. bands and marching clubs, It viii be
seen that the B & o. hauled train OF 3
cars into Washington every fifteen minutes

4ih. and out Of Washington every fifteen
minutes from 800 p ". Of the 4th until
midnight Of the 9th.
Ia hauling this immense volume OF ousl'
ness. in 80 short a time, not a single acci-

ed : not a car was derailed and not an en-
gine failed 10 perform lis allotted task
During all this time there was an ilcessaut
fall OF rain and all out door work was IN
vested with very depressing conditions.
The satisfactory manner III which this
great movement was conducted reflects the
highest credit upon the operating depart
ment Of the B. x O. Company and indicates
the pr0mptness and intelligence with which
each member Of the entire rank and file of
the force performed his assigned share Of
the labor involved.

STILL ST. PAUL WINS.

Pretty Contest.

st. Joseph Beaten Again in a
Pretty Contest.
Special to the Globe.
ST. JOSEPH, May 5.-SOWders and
Crowell made pitchers battle of the
game to-day, and Carroll's three-bagger
and Ardner's home run were the only
long hits made. The support of Sow
ders. barring 'Tredway, was excellent.
while at times the support of CrOwell
was wretched. st. Joseph was first at
bat and sent but three men to the plate
in the first inning. Kreig got first on balls
in the second, but Werrick's work at
short right field cut off prospective hits
by Smith and Mahoney. and no runs
resulted. In the third Whitney's first
on balls, Arkwright's hit by pitcher and
Curtis four bad balls filled the bases,
with two men out. Ardner made des-
perate effort, but flew out TO Tredway.
II. the sixth, after Shellhasse had been
retired at first on Plckett's assist of his
hard-hit grounder, Curtis reached second
on Tredway's mutf of his high fly, and
Ardner hit over the left-feld fence for
A HOME RUN,
and the first and last runs for st. Joe
were scored, though Kreig got in two
good singles the next two times at bat.
For st. Paul Hawes began by an out at
first on CrowelPs assist of his slow
grounder. Murphy had better luck,
and on slow throw by Whitney and
very close decision saved his life at
first. He went to second ON a passed
ball, was advanced to third by Smiths
tumble of Pickett's easy grounder,
and scored when Ardner dropped
the ball on Schellhasse's assist
to cut off Pickett's attempted steal.
Pickett started for third Immediately
after, but was too slow, and TredWay
wound up the run-getting by striking
out. Three blanks followed, and,
though Carroll opened the second with
a triple to center, nobody could hit hard
enough to get him home. In the fifth
Carroll opened by striking out. but the
third strike was too hot for Schellhasse,
and when he gathered the ball up back
by the grand stand
CARROLL'S FAST RUNNING
had carried him to second. Reilly's hit
and Curtis error took him across the
plate and Reilly to second. Reilly went
Ito third on Werrick's sacrifice fly to
Mahoney and scored on Schellhasse's er-
ror on the throw-in. Broughton' double
i'm the seventh and Murphy's single in
the eighth, the former scratch hit
down the left foul line, were the only
hits made by st. Paul after this inning.
The fielding of the visitors, with the
Exception of Tredway, who made two
errors, was fine. The second base play
of Ardner and the throwing of Schell-
hasse to second were the fielding feat
ures. 1t is the opinion of the local pub
lie that the St. Paul team is by far the
strongest of the Western association
seen here this season, including Omaha.

ERLANGER PROTESTS
Against the American Style of
Handling Railroads.

Handling hallrOaoS.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Baron Erlan-
ger, the great European fnancieI and
capitalist, is at Wormleys, accompanied
by his son Frederic and Alfred Slidell,
of New Orleans. The baron is
cosmopolitan, and proves it by
registering from London and Paris.
The baron has about SIS, 600, ,CO0invested
in American roads, notably the Cincln-
natl Southern, Cincinnati & New
Orleans and Texas & Pacific. Some of
these are very permanent investments,
if the market value of the stock is any
indication. The difference between the
cost and selling value of the stock is
one of the principal reasons which
brought the baron on this his first
visit to America. .Erlanger iSunable to un-
derstand, however, several peculiarities
about the management of American
roads. cover here" he says, "the op-
Grating expenses eat up 20 per cent of
of the revenues, while in Europe they
are only so per cent, yet freight rates
here are much higher. If the managers
of the American railroads want foreign
capital to further support their lines
they must reform their methods. There
is no good reason for bankruptcy to be
staring them in the face when times are
good" The baron processes strong
admiration for Jay Gould, while holding
in reserve his opinion of Mr.. Gould's
methods. He expresses his surprise at
the fine equipment of American rail-
roads and believes that the South now
presents fine field for railroad devel-
Opment.

PATRIOTIC AMERICANS
Form an Organization Called the

New YORK, May 5.-A new national
patriotic club was organized at 719 East
Ninth street Saturday night. 1t is to
be known as 1.-THE George Washington
Club" and its constitution provides that
"Every man, woman and child who sub
scribes to the doctrine of patriotism

encouragement were received from eX-
President Cleveland. Senator Evarts,
Senator Blair, John q. Whittier, George
William Curtis and others. EX-Presi-
dent Cleveland's letter advised the club
to elect young men as its officers. The
officers elected were these: President,
Arthur ID. Cochrane; vice presidents,
Senator Blair, Admiral Porter, Gen.
Clinton B. Fisk, Hon. Amos j. Cum
mings, Albert Griffen, of Kansas;
George of Scott. of Brooklyn; Samuel

All the officers chosen have accepted

him for few minutes. Had the ball
hit him squarely it probably would
have killed him. On recovering
he went to work with renewed
vigor, and pitched an almost fault
less game for the remaining innings,
permitting the Denver's to make but
few hits. Jantzen did not appear at
his best at the beginning of the game,
but improved as it came to close.
Hanrahan and DAILY played an excellent
game at short stop and left field. The
home team did better work to-day than
yesterday, and the only error charged
to them was by Klusman, who made
bad mutf, but redeemed himself later
on. Healy started the game well, but
could not keep it up, and almost gave
out before it concluded, and sent an un
usual number to first ON balls. Forces
umpiring continues to draw Kisses from
the crowd. The score:

New YORK, May 5.-The largest as
semblage of people who have ever wit
messed game of base ball at Ridge
wood park, l.. l., went to the grounds
to-day to witness the battle between the
Brooklyn and Athletic teams. Before
A O'Clock every seat in the inclOsure was
occupied, and wall of humanity began
to form around the field. The crowd in
center field was so dense that many of
the spectators could not even see the
players. The game was started and the
crowd behaved well in spite of the alb
sence of uniformed police. The Brook
lyn team scored run in the opening
inning, and the Athletics scored one
in the third. The score remained
tied until the sixth inning, when
the visiting players scored four
runs. The Brooklyn players then
began their half of the inning. AS
Foutz went to the bat the crowd in the
center field began to close in. Several
persons, including President Byrne. of
the Brooklyn club, tried to keep the
crowd back, but without avail. In a
few minutes the whole field was sea
of humanity, and the players of both
teams went to their dressing-rooms. No
further effort was made to clear the field
or continue the game. Some of the on
lockers claimed that Welch, the center
fielder of the Athletics, called to them
to close in and they did so. 1t is doubt
full if there would have been any trouble
if the home team had had the lead. Um-
pire Holland called the game draw
and left the field. Mr.. Byrne, the presi-
dent of the Brooklyn club, entered the
press stand atterward and said that he
would bring the whole matter up before
the next meeting of the American asso-
citation. He claimed that the Athletic
fielders melted the trouble. The at
tendance was 1854. Score:

WHERE IS CRONIN?
A Well-Known Chicago Doctor
Mysteriously Disappears.

CHICAGO, May 5.--Dr. P. 81. Cronin,
a local physician somewhat widely
known among members of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians and other Irish So
cieties, disappeared last night in mys-
terious manner. His friends express
the belief that he has been foully dealt
with. A stranger took the doctor off
last night, it is related, ostensibly to at
tend an injured man in Lakeview.
Since then Cronln has not been seen,
and inquiry fails to bring to light any
injured man as such described.
To-day trunk was found on
the prairie near Lakeview con-
tanning mass of bloody cotton similar
to that DR.. Cronin carried in his sur
geon's case, and some hair, said to re-
semble in color the DOCTORS locks. A
two-column interview with DR.. Cronin,
in printed form, prepared by himself,
was given to the newspapers tonight
by his friends. 1t relates various cir
cumstances purporting to show that
conspiracy ofsome sort existed to injure
CrOnin in reputation or person.

ChicaSOan.

CHICAGO, May 5.-William Tansor. of
this city. machinist by trade, 26 years

six months old baby, became suddenly
insane while in bed, at o'clock this
morning, and. after desperate strug-
gle with his wife, seized the baby from
the crib in which it was sleeping, and
dashed its brains out against the

fled to the street, meanwhile arousing
the neighbors by her piercing screams.
Tansor then Slashed his own throat
with the knife, and when the police
arrived, he was walking to and fro in
