the Charge Of Grand Larceny.

NEw YoRK, Sept. 7.
Mrs Swinton and Josh" Mann were ar
raigned before Justice Hogan at the Tombs
at IL 80 o'clock this morning for his decision
on yesterdays proceedings. The magistrate
announced that he had decided to hold them
on the charge of grand larceny. As specified
in the complaint. Lawyer Ross made = long
argument in favor Of light bail, claiming that
there was no evidence against the accused,
and pledging himself to be responsible for
their appearance whenever wanted. While
he did not question the propriety of the JUS
tice in holding them, he suggested that any
thing more than $500 bail would be exces-
sive. They should be released under merely
nominal bail. Justice Hogan, after some
deliberstion decided TO fix the bail at $500
in each case, and committed the prisoners to
the Tombs.

LEWISTON, Sept. 7.
The game here today was won fairly by the
Augustus, the score up to the ninth inning
standing 8 to in their favor. 1t was gen.
orally conceded that the Lewistons were
badly beaten, and SO they would have been
had not their umpire, McManus-a brother
to their catcher-come to their assistance and
given them the game by calling twenty eight
balls-twenty-seven of them being in sue
cession. :. Sullivan never pitched with greater
precision or command of the bail in his life
Again and again he cut the plate, bu. it was
no use, the umpire had sta ed in to sell out
the Augustus and he kept on with his work
until he accomplished it, This man will be
whosstarted, in to umpire in that'city when the
Lewistons last played there. Manager Scan
nell insisted that he should officiate and re-
fused to play unless he was permitted to do 50.
The reason for this insistence was manifested
early in the game when his work became so
bald that the Augustus, though strongly in
the lead, refused to 60 farther with him, and
another game vas started with two umpires
The people who saw this game entertained
no doubt of the deliberate purpose of this
fellow TO "throw" the game. They were
convinced that he was introduced into the
game for that very purpose. His work at
Lewiston was undoubtedly the most "yellow =
exhibition ever given in this State. II was 50
palpably dishonest that even the Lewiston

men in the city told the writer that they had
rather never see their nine win at all than to
see them win in any such disreputsble man.

nine were themselves disguised and two OF
