Yesterdays Game.

The New York World. says Of yester-
days ball game at Staten Island. Up to
the fourth inning the game was base ball;
after that it was razzle-dazzle. The visi-
tiers put their young pitcher, Keefe, in The
box and the result was extraordinary. He
is a red-faced young man with delivery like
that of dynamite gun, except that it is vastly
more erratic. He had plenty of curve and good
speed but in command of the ball he was not
deuce high. Crane and Brown were in the
shuttle for the champions and did their work
to the queens taste.

which overlook the visitors. Sweeney was in the
front rank. 1t was an off day for the kid, and
he promptly muffed and fumbled almost every
thing that came his way.
The San says Upright was just as weak be-
hind the bat as he was on the day before. but
the runs that he let in came at a time when it
didn't matter how many runs the New Yorks
scored, for the game had been hopelessly lost

THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT.
1t Is Prorogucd by the Governor-Gene
raj In an Effective Speech.

OTTAWA, ONT, May 2.-This afternoon, at
O'Clock, his excellency, the governor-general,
proceeded in state to the parliament buildings,
and the members of the house Of commons
having been summoned to the chamber of the
senate his excellency was pleased to prorogue
the third session of the fifth parlia-
ment Of the dominion of Canada in the
following speech: In relieving you Of the ar
duous labors which the present session of par
Lament has imposed on you L rejoice that
am able to congratulate you on a number OF
important and useful measures which resulted
from your elaboration. have reason to hope
that the authority which you have conferred on
my government will enable them to conclude
arrangements for effective steamship commu-
nlcatlon with Europe and Asia, whereby the
trade and commerce of Canada will be widely
extended and the traffic passing over her lines
OF communication greatly developed. You have
again made liberal provision for extending the
railway facilities Of the dominion, and for
INCREASING THEIR EFFICIENCY.
The act relating to the electoral franchise
will, ] believe, be found an important improve
ment, tending to economy, and certainly in the
administration of that branch Of the law. The
measure by which the system of speedy trials
for criminals has been extended to the mari
time provinces is likely to prove a valuable
addition to our criminal procedure.
1t is gratifying to know that your address
referring to the boundaries of Ontario will lead
TO the early settlement of the principal ques-
ton, which has remained unsettled up to the
present time, between that province and the
Dominion in a manner entirely satisfactory to
all concerned.
The amendment of the laws relating to copy
right will, it is hoped, remove some of the
embarrassments under which the printers and
publishers of Canada have labored for some
years past, without doing injustice to the
authors of this or other countries
You have provided for greater efficiency and
ECONOMY IN THE POSTAL SERVICE,
for giving greater facilities for the settlement
of our lands in the northwest and for increas-
ing the safeguards of life and property on our
ships. Many of the other measures, although
Of minor character, will be found of great
usefulness in conducting the affairs Of the adj
minstration.
In taking leave of you'll congratulate you on
the indications of prosperity which appear in
all parts of Canada, and on the increasing rev.
enue which promises amply to meet the appro-
priations for the year. I sincerely hope that
In the season which is now opening the labors
OF our people may be blessed by Divine Provi-
dence, and that when it shall be my duty to
summon you again shall be able to renew the
congratulations which have already expressed
on the marked welfare and progress OF the
Dominion.

THE CITY POsT-OFFICE.
A Proposed Commission to Select q
Suitable Building.

The Postmaster-General will shortly issue an
order designating commission, with instruc-
tions to examine the hall of the Pension build
ing to ascertain whether it can be lifted up for
the use of the city post-office. The commission
will also probably be instructed to extend their
investigation to other buildings which may be
offered for the purpose. The Treasury and
Interior departments, as well as the Post Office
department will be represented in the COM
mission. Corporal Tanner, the commissioner
of pensions, has consented to represent the In
terror department. The representation from
the Treasury department has not been ap-
pointed as yet, but the supervising architect
will probably be asked to serve. Gen. Clark
son. the first assistant postmaster-general, and
Gen. Whitfield, the second assistant, will repre-
sent the Post-Offce department, while Mr..
Ross, the city postmaster, will represent the
city post-office,'

THE CARTER DIVORCE TRIAL.
An Unusually Large Crowd Present To-
Day-A Hotel Clerks Evidence.

CHICAGO, May 2--The sensational nature OF
the testimony adduced at the Carter trial yes
terday drew an unusually large crowd to the
court room to-day. Had il been proper
to have charged an admission to . court
room, the baiIiffs could have realized several
thousand dollars for some charity BY collecting
a small sum from those who wanted to hear
parts of the testimony which editors decided
as unfit for publication" When court opened
the cross-exsmination of Harry p. Nash, the
ex-night clerk Of the Cooper house, was re-
sumed by Mr.. Hines. Mr.. Nash was not at the
Cooper house in 1882, so he knew nothing of
the scene described by Mrs. Morrissey nor of
the condition of the grounds at that time. Mr..
Hines questioned the witness about his having
seen Mr.. Pearce standing at Mrs. Carter's room
door at II o'clock at night. Pearce came into
the hotel Office and talked to Mr.. Critenden
about the beauties Of Cooperstown. Witness
could not recall any other conversation of any
other guest during his stay at the hotel. Wit
ness did not know whether Mrs. Dudley or Mrs.
Carter's maid was in the room when he saw
Pearce outside the door in which she stood.
MIR. Carter called on witness in Troy, N. Y,
and asked him about the case some time in the
winter of 1887.

Bold Robbery at the Police Court.

Mr.. Liyingtone Browning, the attorney, left
his overcoat locked in the wardrobe at the
Office of Assistant District Attorney Armes, in
the Police Court this NOR ming, and when he
went 10 get it about noon it was not there. Mr.
Browning at first thought a joke had been
played on him, but no one about the court was
able to give any information concerning the
whereabouts of the missing garment, and con-
Guiding that it had been stolen the police were
asked to investigate the matter. The robbery,
if it was such. was committed by daring thief,
because the coat was left under lock and key,
and was taken almost under the eyes Of the
judge, who deals with criminals so offending.
This is not the first time in the history OF the
court that such thefts have occurred. During
the past few years a number of hats have been
stolen from the building, and in some instances
they were taken from the court room. 1t has
only been a few weeks since two bottles of
whisky, which were held as evidence in a case,
were stolen.

BISHOP POTTER's SERMON.
He Says He Intended No Insult to the
President.

New YORK, May 2.-Bishop Potter was called
upon at his residence on 59th street by United
Press reporter. this morning, with view to
learning what the reverend gentleman had to
say about the fierce criticisms on the following
passage in his sermon ut st. Paul's church on
Tuesday had brought forth:
I'VE have exchanged Washington's dignity
for Jeffersonian simplicity, which is only an
other term for Jacksonian vulgarty." The
bishop said Il have heard of the criticisms,
bat have read none Of them as yet"
1T is claimed in some quarters that you in
suited the President and attacked the republi-
can party?"
Il certainly did not intend to insult or at
tack any one. l cannot make any explanation
just now, but if, on reading the criticisms, 1
think it is necessary will do SO over my own
signature"
The bishop pooh-poohed the idea that he OBJ
jected to Archbishop Corrigan being slated
to pronounce the benediction at the SUBJ
treasury.
'The archbishop and myself" said Bishop
Potter, care on the most amiable terms and 1
esteem him highly"
The bishop refused to further discuss the
matter.

ONE MAN KILLED.
Excitement Among Students at a Cath
Ollie College Because Of a Fire.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-The four-story stone
building attached to the Catholic college on
East Chelten avenue, east of Magdalen street,
Germantown, was burned at an early hour this
morning. The building was used for storage
and cooking purposes, and it is supposed that the
fire originated from the cook range on the first
floor and in few minutes the entire building
was in flames
The widest excitement prevailed among the
students in the college adjoining, for it was
known that Ignatius and Michael lillian were
in the third story of the burning building
Presently the two men appeared at a window
and Michael jumped to the ground. His
brother was about to follow him, when the
flooring gave way under him and he sank into
the burning mass of debris.
Micheal was badly injured by his jump, and
it Is thought he will die.
The loss on the burned building has not yet
been ascertained, but it is understood to be
fully covered by insurance.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION,
Continuation of Me-. Parnell's Cross
Examination To-day.

LONDON, May 2.-The cross-examination of
Mr.. Parnell was continued before the Parnell
commission to-day. Mr.. Parnell admitted that
Condor was connected with the Manchester
murders. He was chairman of the reception
committee at Washington. Witness had al
ways repudiated the dynamite and physical
force party in America and denounced them
In the house of commons. He was not aware
that the Cincinnati Commercial CARTE reported
verbatim the speech he made at Cincinnati, in
which he Is sand to have referred to the sever
ance of the last link between Great Britain and
Ireland, or that its report was like that in the
Irish World. Mr.. Parnell admitted that he had
not found fault with the past action of the In
vincibles. he quoted from his speech and his
manifesto of 1881, denouncing outrages and
unconstitutional action by 1rishmen. Mr.. Par
nell said he advocated buying out the landlords
in Ireland and making the tenants owners Of
tue land.

THE RIOTERS.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, May 2-The following de-
scription Of the mob and riot which occurred
at La Luz, near Guanajusta, Mexico, few
days ago, over the incarceration of five
priests, who were stirring up the ig.
norant people against the government il
given by prominent citizen of Guanajuato
who reached Texas yesterday. It was nearly
dark when the priests were imprisoned. but
by the time the streets lamps were lighted
1900 men reared and surged against the walls
of the Jail.
They attacked its heavy doors with pick.
axes, stones, crow-bars, and heavy beams Of
wood, and some of them in a wild frenzy
dashed their bleeding hands and heads against
the massive walls.
MANY OF THEM WERE ARMED
and in a short while heavy fire was pouring
into the windows. The mayor of Guanajuatc
who was inside, was one of the first to
fall. Policemen, who rushed up in squads OF
two and three, were remorselessly butchered,
and in short time more than twenty of them
were lying dead on the pavement. few
scattered soldiers who were in town
were treated in like manner. The mob, which
by this time was utterly manageable, either
by the government or the priests who had in
cited it, now
SET FIRE TO THE JAIL DOORS,
but just as the inmates were about to surrender
zoo regular soldiers arrived on a double
qrick and formed across the street.
The crowd answered the order to disperse
with yell and a discharge of firearms. The
command to fire was at once given. The bull
lets, at fearfully short range, swept through
the mass of men, women and chill
dren like scythe, moving them down in
rows. Still they came on, and volley after vol
ley crashed into them. only to cause those be-
hind to spurn the dead bodies with their feet
as they pressed forward.
THE STREETS WERE STICKY WITH BLOOD
and the shallow cutters ran with it. In
the meantime number of insur-
surgents, armed with pistols and rifles,
had climbed upon the adjoining houses
After half hours continuous fl ghting charge
with the bayonet was ordered When
the front RANK Of the mob felt the steel
the entire concourse broke and disappeared
through the alleys and by-ways. Altogether
more than two numbered and fifty persons
had been slain, by far the greater part
OF which were miners and other Mexican
laborers. The soldiers lost sixteen killed and
wounded. Among the slain was lieutenant.
The fire in the jail was quenched, and the five
BADLY FRIGHTENED, But DETERMINED PRIESTS
were taken to Guanapiorto for safe keeping.
They are now confined in tine
CASTILLO de Grandetas, an immense
pile in which the great Mexican revo-
luton had its birthday, and in which
the patriot Hidalgo was subsequently hanged.
1t is thought that had the recent
riot proven successful, had the priests been
rescued and the local authority broken, Sc
rious uprising might have developed. AS it is,
the incipient resolution is nipped in the bud.

Another Rebellion Threatened.

WINNIPEG, MAN, May 2.-Recent news from
Batowche, the spot of the half-breed rebellion
few years ago, creates considerable anxiety
here. and the people now regret having al
lowed the rebel leader, Gabriel Dumont, to re-
enter the country. He threatens to cause more
serious trouble and the authorities are being
urged to summariiy suppress him. The other
night large deputatiOn Of prominent half
breeds waited on him and presented him with
an address thanking him for the gallant fight
he had made for his countrymen and congratu.
lating him on his escape They urged him to
again become their leader, and promised to re-
main firm and keep up the agitation until all
their wrongs were righted by the government.
Dumont replied in vigorous speech, urging
his eompatriots to demand compensation for
damage done their property by Canadian
troops. He believed their cause would yet be
successful
