FAITHFUL IN DEATH.

Lovers Took Poison and Died In Each
Others Arms.
FRESNO, CAL, August 19.-Yesterday
morning the wife of Attorney w. A. Tup.
psr, of this city, knocked at the door OF
her servant girl, Elizabeth Werner, to ask
her to bring in breakfast. Receiving no
response, she opened the door, and saw
the glrl and her lover, Andrus Olsen, lying
c.asped in each others arms. The girl
was dead, and Olsen died few minutes
later. On the table near by was found an
empty bottle that had contained poison.
The most plausible reason for the suicide
seems to be that the couple desired to be
married, bat their love affairs were inter
fered with by another party, who WAS a
constant visitor to the house.

Notes From the Diamond.

The accident which happened Manager
Buckenberger at Kansas City, whereby his
nose was broken by foul pitched
by Gastright, is deeply deplored here; for
while causing the genial manager intense
paiu, no doubt, and marTipg his good
looks, it will have a tendency TO disgust
him with base ball, and take him from us.
He is all right as manager, and all this
stuff about Gus Schmeltz being looked upon
as his successor is mere talk. Buck suits
the directors, the players and the public,
and what more could be asked. d.-Ooium-

Talk About the Tri-state League-News
From the Diamond.


Speaking of the Tri-State League, the
Canton correspondent of Sporting Times
says: "The Columbus correspondent OF
a New York paper makes it point to let
the readers know that the Tri-State Lesgue
this year has been but fairly successful.
Considering the fact that the League has
never finished the season. with all the clubs il
started with, it has done very we'll this year
a. all the clubs are in good shape inanci-
silly and the season lasts but six weeks Ion
ger. OF course Wheeling is not drawing the
crowds it would with winning team. but
then there is no danger the club disbanding.
Hamilton made call for more money sew
eral weeks ago which was soon raised and
they will finish the season. The other
clubs are well fixed. This can be at
tributed to the salary limit, which has
been strictly lived up to by all the clubs.
How many other minor leagues can say the
same?
This same correspondent, speaking Of the
large number Of players turned out by the
League last year, also says that there
will bat a small graduating class this
year" Take into consideration that last
years organization was composed of ten
clubs, and this one has but elk, and, judg-
ing by the present available timber in the
League, it will be found that it will turn
out as large percentage of players as it
did last year.
While on this subject it may be we'll to
say something regarding the prospects for
next year, when an eight-club league will
be formed. All the present cities will be
in it, with the possible exception CT Ham
ilton. Akron has the fever bad and will
ba admitted. McKeesport, Pa, and Ft
Wayne, Ind, are also good cities, and one
of them can surely be induced to eoter,
while Sandusky might try it again. With
a salary limit about the same as this sea-
sons, and all the clubs living up to it, the
Tri.State Lesgue would be more successful
than it ever WAS before.
