THE cOLONELs' RECORD.
A Wish to Forget the Past and Hope for
the Future.

N WISH ~ RoTkct tuo EuBt anu nope IOF
the Future.
LOUISVILLE, October l8-So far as Louis
vile is concerned the season is over, and the
sooner it passes into utter oblivion the better.
1t is useless and would be painful to retell the
story of the year. Louisville has broken the
record, as everybody knows, SO with the mere
statement that Louisville won q games and
lost ILL., and closes the season with percentage
of .l95. let the curtain be drawn and pleasanter
subjects taken up.
The pleasantest of pleasant subjects is the
prospect for next year. No one doubts that
with proper backing Manager Chapman will
give the city good club and it is now assured
that the management will give him liberal sup
port. Some objection was made to the plan
suggested by the most liberal of the magnates
that each member should put up in lump
sum S,oOO, so compromise was made by
which the money should be advanced as needed
and not deposited beforehand. When needed
1t will be forthcoming, according to the agree
ment. and SO the financial question is settled.
As to the personnel of the club, next season
will see many changes. Nothing has been Off
cially given out as yet. but the makeup of the
team, as at present determined upon will be as
follows: Browning and Raymond will be ex-
changed for Latham, who will play third base
and captain the team; Ewing and Ehret will be
reinforced in the box by young Keefe, of Syra-
New Yorks; McQueery and Childs, who also
played under Manager Chapman during the
past season, will be on first and second bases;
shortstop and an outfielder will also be secured
and altogether the club will bear an entirely
different appearance next April

SOARING WOMEN.
Indignant Citizens Looking for an Alleged
Insurance Agent.

Indignant Citizens Looking for an Alleged
Insurance Agent.
A gray-haired man, who represents him
self to be the agent OF life insurance COM
pany, is going about the city insulting and
frightening women, and quite number Of
men are anxious to get their hands on the
fellow. During the past week he has been
operating in the Second and Third wards
He is described as man of medium
height, of rather slender build, with hair
and beard nearly white. He dresses in sober
black, wears spectacles and possesses rather
a clerical appearance. 1t Is his custom to
visit houses during the daytime, at the hours
when men are at their work aud the women
are alone. Under the pretense that he is
considering her eligibility to be insured,
he asks a woman all sorts of impudent and
insulting questions. Several ladies in the
Second ward have complained that he has
laid hands on them, frightening them almost
out OF their wits. From the stories told of
his conduct it seems likely that the man is
fraud, as far as his insurance business is con-
cerned. No instance has been found where
he gave the name of the company which he
pretended to represent. If any insurance
house in the city has an agent answering this
description, it would be to their interest to
give him an eternal vacation.

SAID TO BE A BUGABOO.
The Thomson- Houston. Brush Consolidation
Leaving the City Dark Laughed at
Whnt Mr.. Duncan Said.

The Thomson Houston. Brush Cons olidntion
Leaving the City Dark Laughed at
What Mr.. Duncan Said.
It has been reported that the absorption of
three-fourths of the Brush Electric Light
Company's stock by the Thomson Houston
Company, of Boston, may leave the streets
of Pittsburg in total darkness some Of these
moonless nights.
The Thomson-Houston Company paid
So, ,250. 900 for the controlling interest in the
Brush Company. 1t has also secured con-
troll of the Jenny Electric Light Company,
of Indianapolis and of Ft. Wayne, and the
American interest in the Swan system, and
is claimed to practically control the arc
electric light systems in the United States
G. W. Stockley and John E. Ridall are
authority for the statement that while some
stockholders of the Brush Company have
agreed to sell part of their stock, vet the
purchase has not been fully consummated.
1t is said the Brush Company is not to be
absorbed and that the arrangement, if per-
fected, will be of great advantage to both
corporations.
Mr.. Duncan. of the Allegheny County
Electric Light Company, stated last night
that the dire prediction of total darkness
was unfounded. He stated that not only
had they the Waterhouse machines in sue
cessful operation, but that their contract
with the Brush Company could not be
lightly set aside.

THE M'KEEsPoRTs' DOSE.
They Get Shut Out by the Pitsburgers by
IN

They Get Shut Out by the Pittsburgers by
to O.
The McKeesports and Pittsburgs played a
wonderfully interesting game at McKeesport
yesterday, and had it not been for the last
inning it would have been very close score.
In that inning the McKeesport club appeared
to go to pieces and allowed the Pittsburgs to
score four runs without base hit being made
the score then standing 8 too.
Henry Jones' for the home club, pitched q
wonderful game, only allowing the big hitters
from Pittsburg to make three base hits. and
also only allowing them one earned run, which
was made by Sowders hitting for two
bases and stealing third and scoring
on Beckleys sacrifice to Gray, whose quick
throw to Quinn was mufed, which also
ball, but was hit hard at times His support
was excellent White making brilliant catch
of a high liner of Llston's bat which was good
for two bases had it not been caught Gray
played great game at second base and Tor
reyson did well at third and at short Mar
burger covered himself with glory, excepting
his muffed fly in the eighth inning.
Jones and Liston as battery are very fine,
and the great pitching of the former is receiv-
ing praise from every one Liston caught and
threw well outside of one bad throw
to third. Quinn put up very poor game
at hrst, and Hartman and Smink in middle
and right did excellent work but had not much
to do. White Rowe, Dunlap and Beckley did
excellent work in their positions.
McKeesport surprised the Pittsburgs with
their good playing and Jones' pitching. and
they were kept hustling all through the game,
as they only had two runs to their credit up to
the sixth inning, when Sunday got first on
Gray's error and stole second and third, and
scored on bad throw. Jones' who pitched,
was a member of the Pittsburg in 1885, and
showed them to-day that he could pitch some.
He is quite good one.
The clubs will play here again tomorrow
when Calvin and Miller will be the Pittsburg
battery, and Patterson and Mallery will be in
the points for the home team. Following is the
score:

A CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
The Chnrred Remains of Thomas Dougherfy
Found in a Furnace ventiIatinR SHAFT nj
Chartiers-R -Rumors Disposed or

| The Chnrred Remains of Thomas Dourherty
Found in Furnace ventilating SHAFT M
Chartiers- Rumors Disposed OF.
The mortuary room at the morgus has
rarely held more horrible evidences of q
lingering and agonizing death than were
brought in the dead wagon from CHARTERS
about 8 P. NJ. yesterday james P. Tallow,
an employe OF Longs Mills, at CHARTERS,
while examining his furnace thought he
saw man lying in the ventilating shaft
underneath. He made several Intellectual
efforts to getat the body, which be soon dis
covered it to be. and finally about eight
feet of the brickwork were removed, reveal
ing most CHASTITY sight.
: 1t was the body of man, apparently
about five feet eight inches in height when
whcle, but dried up,and what flesh remained
mummifed by the hot air blast which
had evidently been playing upon it for
many days. The skull was perfectly bare
and tine eyes evaporated from the sockets.
while the jaws were covered with a parch-
ment-iike integument which still preserved
a black mustache and chin beard The
flesh was gone from the lower portions of
the legs and the bones, dried and Drowned
by the heat, were lying in the position rela-
tive to the upper portion of the body to
which they belonged.
The widest excitement prevailed about
the mill for some time, all sorts of rumors
of foul play and murder gaining credence,
while no one could be found who recognized
either the clothing or the remains. A mes
sage was telephoned to the Coroner and the
baked fragments of humanity taken to the
morgue. In the pockets were found pair
of insoles for shoes. a paper of tobacco, the
paper showing evidences of having been
subjected to slow heat.
Shortly after the arrival of the remains at
the morgue they were identified by Thomas
Grogan and two other employees of the
Eagle Mills, as those of Thomas Dougherty,
pipe line worker, who was formerly mill
man but recently had worked for Pat
Foley, the contractor. They said Dougherty
had been missing since Thursday, 10th inst,
on which day he had left for CHARTERS and
had started out with 90 cents given him by
his brother. 1t is supposed ON reaching
CHARTERS, Dougherty, feeling tired and
cold, crept into the shaft for warmth and
the gas was turned on before he awoke. As
no fame passes into the shaft the man must
have been slowly roasted to death unless an
escape OF gas first mercifully asphyxiated
him.
The remains will be removed to his
brothers. residence in the Thirty-sixth ward,
to-day. and an inquest will be held this
morning. The deceased was 40 years of
age and unmarried.

Il Starts on One Line and Ends ON Another,
but is Not Uncertain.
A very queerly constructed will was filed
in the County Registers Office yesterday. 1t
starts off in nuncupative style, but winds up
with the signature of the testatrix duly wit
messed. The material parts are as follows:
On the 18th day OF April, A. d. 1882 Sarah
Ann McGee, being in the extremity of her last
sickness. in the city of Fittsburg in the pres
ence of the subscribers did declare her last will
and testament in the following words, or to that
effective: She mentioned that she owns So
acres more or less of farm land in Clearfeld
township, Butler county, Iwant my
brother, Wm McGee, to have the same. and to
have undlsputed possession to use for his own
benefit as he may see fit, first paying my just
debts and funeral expenses.
At the time the said Sarah Ann McGee pro-
nounced the foregoing will she was of sound
mind and understanding, and bid us who were
present to bear witness that such was her will.
