A Great Chess PLAYER.

Extraordinary skill as a chess player
brought fame, wealth and a title to the
late Baron Rolisch of Vienna. While YET
a boy he left his humble Austrian home
with but a few thalers in his pocket to
seek his fortune. He drifted to Paris,
where, after suffering great privation
and poverty, he finally won reputation
among chess players and his prosperity
began. Rich and influential men became
his pupils and he stood high in their
favor. Baron Rothschild helped him es-
tablish bank IN Vienna, but his aceu-
mutation of wealth there was not as
rapid as 1t was later on in the Paris stock
exchange. He played chess with Presi-
dent Grevy in the evening and dabbled in
stocks during the day. Political infor-
nation received from the statesman
helped him, it was believed, in making
successful ventures. A few years ago
he returned to Vienna and devoted much
of his time to collecting paintings and
altar cloths, while he also tried editing
and publishing paper, but with indiffer-
ent success. He was raised to the no.
bility by the grand duke of Weimar.

Retrieve third. This order was not
changed afterward. An the three-duar-
tiers Proctor Knott was four lengths ahead
and KileY was visibly urging Spokane.
Soon after turning into the stretch
grand shout of exultation went up from
Proctor Knott's army of hackers as it
was seen that both Spokane and Re-
trieve were catching the whip hard,
while Knott was still striding along at
his ease. The shout changed to ire
mendous roar as Proctor Knott passed by
the judges three lengths before Spokane,
followed by Retrieve, two lengths away.

An Allegheny City Sunday School Picnic Has
Tragic Ending.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July A sad acct
dent happened at picnic of the Arch
street Methodist Episcopal church of Al
legheny City at Forest Grove, on the
Pittsburg and Western railroad, this af
ternoon, by which five young people were
drowned. Their names are:
NELLIE BUTTON, aged eighteen years.
MAY ROYAL, aged sixteen years.
IDA Cassidy aged twenty-five years.
FANNIE MCCoMB, aged eighteen years,
and
BERT FREEMAN, aged twenty years.
The five named together with Edward
Spaffer took an old barge and started for
a ride on Connaquessing creek. The
stream was very turbulent and the barge
capsized, throwing the occupants into
the water. Young Spaffer succeeded in
reaching shore, but the others went down
before assistance could reach them. The
victims were all members of the Sunday
school and lived in Allegheny City.
Their bodies have not been recovered.
