THOSE cherubic journals, the Times
and Tribune, continue to have good
many pleasing passages at arms. Fair.
ness compels US TO note the fact that the
Tribune has reproduced some sewer rem.
iniscences concerning its contemporary
that would be rather embarrassing to an
institution without gizzard. But if il
supposed that any such trifie as an in.
consistency would "iaze" the Fort-street
affair it reckons without it's host. Jim
Crow himself was not more protean than
that organ of wbims, and it meets the
arraignment by comparing itself to the
Savior of Man. A little trifle like a
change of opinion has no more effec,
upon the Fort-street radiator of intelli.
gence and views that happen to suit il
for the time being than would keg oi
nails upon the digestion of an ostrich.

THE wires leading flom the East are
largely devoted to the chronicling OF
business failures and to the absconding
of bank officials. The millennium, we
were told, was to put in an immediate
appearance ON the election of Harrison.
Business was to be revived, halting
enterprises quickened into life, every
thing was to be lovely and the goose was
to hang uncommonly high. On the con-
trary, labor riots, lock-outs and general
commercial dilspidstion are the order of
the day, notwithstanding that the war
tariff still maintains its beneficen. sway
which illustrates for the thousandth

An Exciting Game Between Oak.
land and Stockton.

SAN Francisco, August 11.-About
5000 people were treated to an exciting
and well-played, ten-inning game of ball
today between the Stocktons ana Oak
lands. Coughlin occupied the box for
the Oaklands, and in the second inning
had the nail of his second finger torn off.
He did not retire, however, and would
have won but for Wilson, who let fly
ball go through his hands in the eighth
inning, which let the StoC ktons score
three runs. Two more were added be-
fore the ninth was retired, which
tied the Oaklands, who, at the
opening of the inning, had six
runs to one for the Stocktons. The
Stocktons in the field were sadly amiss
in their work, having eight errors. AS
Selma was absent, his place was filled by
Hunolt. Notwithstanding their errors,
the Stocktons did some great playing,
and by good stick work at critical times,
managed to win the game. In the ninth
Long gained first on single, but was
forced out at second on Hardie's
easy grounder to Fudger. Daily
followed with hit. Smarley
hit to Whitehead, who ran to second,
and turning, threw to first in time to
complete double for Stockton. Hunolt
got to first on little pop fly, which fell
just out OF the reach of any of the ielders.
Dudger hit to Coughlin, and was doubled
up. O'Neill was the first man out in the
tenth inning, being assisted by
Whitehead. Dooley was retired by
Fudger, who ran to first in time
to receive it from Dooley. Mcdonald
was hit by pitched ball and was
doubled up at second by Coughlin.
Sweeney led eff with a single for Stock
ton. Stickney followed with double,
and won the game for his team by send
ing Sweeney home. Score: Stocktons,
Z; Oaklands, 6.

HUNGARIAN HORDES.
Another Outbreak In the Coke Re-
2tOns Expected.

GREENsBURa, Pa, August 11.-An-
other outbreak is expected to occur at the
Hecla coke works in the morning. The
Huns held secret meeting last night,
and decided to renew the fight on Mon
day, and prevent the men at the Hecla,
United and other works from going to
work. The Sheriff has armed posse of
forty men with Winchester repeating
rifles and sent them to the Hecla works.
Engineer Green, who was beaten by a
desperate mob yesterday, will probably
die. Another of the injured, who had a
rusty pick sunk into his shoulder, will
also die. The Huns say they will not
allow work to proceed at the Hecla until
an advance is given. At Mammoth there
were not more than half dozen Ameri-
cans in the mob.

CHICAGO, August 1.-THE $4,000 peo-

Chicago, were for the first time in a long
period treated today to open saloons on
Sunday. The State law closing saloons
on Sunday is dead letter in Chicago,
and the Hyd de Park saloon-keepers have
succeeded, after much maneuvering, in
reaching an understanding with the
authorities whereby the statute will
hereafter be nullified in HYDE Park.
Every saloon in the big district

opening having been an official order
that all bar-rooms should. in accordance

TACOMA, w. T., August 11.-A singu-
lar case was tried in Judge Patrick q
court yesterday. Santos Cordova, an
Italian, was the guardian of pretty
Italian girl, whom he hoped some day
to make his wife. In April, Martin
Petreck, another Italian, appeared in the
field and proposed marriage, but the
Young lady said she was engaged to
Santos. Petreck thereupon asked San.
tos what he would take for his claim on
her affections. He named $3.50 as his
price. and the bargain was speedily
made. Cordova relinquished his claim
on his fair country-womsn to Martin
Petreck, who soon found that the sale
did not sell, as the maiden did not Law
ish her affections upon him. He then
proposed to trade back, but the cash was
refused. He brought suit, but the Court
decided that the contract was illegal, and
Petreck lost his money.
