Crookedness Discovered Among the st.
Louis Browns.

Crookedness Discovered Among the st.
Louis Browns.
ST. LOUIS, July I7th.-If, all the rumors
which are rife in baseball circles just now
are true the day is rapidly approaching
when the crookedness and hippodroming
tendencies of baseball players will bring
the national game into such fragrant dis
repute as to make it stencil to the nostrlls
of all lovers of the manly sport. A Post
dispatch says that for some time there have
been stories ahoat to the effect that certain
members of the Brown Stocking Baseball
Team were not playing ball. Stories OF
crookedness in the Browns were first
started when they made that disastrous
trip to Kansas City.
1t was then and is still generally be-
lieved here that the team purposely lost
these games to force Won der Abe to remit
the fine be had imposed on Robinson, who
haG refused to play unless it was RENTED.
Still, at that time, no one thought the club
was losing for a monetary consideration,
although there were stories ahoat that they
had Robinson against them in pool rooms.
Those who made these charges, however,
did not claim that the players were moved
to plav off by any other motive than to
force Won der Abe to Robinson's terms.
The men against whom the charges are
made are pitcher King and third baseman
Latham. Instances are cited where King
and Latham have been responsible for the
loss of games, and one game is cited where
the circumstances were, to say the least,
suspicious between the Browns and Ath-
letics. King was in the box in the first
two innings, and a well-known sport was
backing the Athletics heavily. King s
pitching was so execrable that he was
taken out and Stivetts substituted.
At that point, although the Athletics
were ahead, the sport commenced hedging,
and gave odds to get his money protected.
The Browns won by score of Is TO y.

ROMANCE oUTDoNE.
The Horrible Death of a Continental just
Brought to Light.

READING (Pa), July 17th.-Recently w.
w. Potts, of Warwick, Superintendent of
extensive granite quarries near the falls of
French creek, ordered newquarry opened
in a wild section of country near the creek.
when the workmen opened up O cave in
which they found the skeleton of man
who had evidently been soldier in the
Continental army, as the remnants of uni
form and rusty gun showed. Along side
the remains was a green bottle, in which
was manuscript, faded and discolored,
but still legible.
1t was very lengthy. and addressed to
Miss Virginia Randolph, of Richmond, Va.
who, from the tenor of the manuscript was
engaged to the writer.
He stated that he was with Washington
at Valley Forge, and was sent out on
foraging expedition III the vicinity of French
creek, when be discovered that the British
had sent out a considerable force to cut
him off. His men scattered in various
directions, by his orders, and he, when
closely pressed, finally headed for cave in
which he had frequently hidden before.
The eutranced was closed by a rock so
nicely balanced that it could be moved by
the pressure of hand, and fitted the aper-
ture in such way that it would simply be
regarded as portion Of the disintegrated
rock wedged in.
As he retreated to the cave the enemy
fired three shots, and from some cause,
either his great haste or the conclusion of
the shots. the perfect poise of the rock was
disturbed, and after falling in place it re-
sisted all efforts to remove it.
The writer was prisoner in the cave,
where he was in total darkness, except
about half an hour in the afternoon, when
small rsy of sunshine penetrated the
murky depths of the cavern. He had writ
ing materials in his knapsack, and using
the knapssck for desk wrote full his
tory of his terrible fate, in the hope that it
would some day be given to the world.
The recital of his sufferings is realistic and
awful and he closes the account by saving
that he expects to die a raving maniac.
The close OF the story is dated MAY 20.
l77S. Mr.. Potts, whose workman found
the manuscript, wrote TO lady in Rich
mond, Va, who was related to the Ran
dolphs. The lady replied that her grand
mothers maiden name had been Randolph

CLEVELAND sHELvED.
Belief that Whitney VIII Head the Ne
Democratic Ticket.

Belief that Whitney VIII Head the Next
Democratic Ticket.
New YORK, July 17th.-There is some
entertaining gossip current concerning
Democratic politics. The rumor is that
deal has been made which shelves EXPIRES
ident Cleveland permanently and places
ex Secretary William G. Whitney in the
lead as the Democratic Presidential candi-
date in 1892.
Last week there was an influx of Demo-
cratic leaders from Ohio to see Colonel
Brice Chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, and their presence here
is considered by shrewd Cleveland Demo
Gratis as another link in the chain of evil
dence TO prove that deal has been made.
A prominent Cleveland Democrat said
to-day he had every reasonIto believe that
the machine Democrats had dropped Mr.
Cleveland. His story of why the ex-Presi-
Gent was dropped is the same as that given
by rumor. Senator German of Maryland
was at first opposed to the election of Col
onel Brice as Chairman OF the Democratic
National Committee. He felt that the
Colonel represented the free-trade ideas of
Cleveland, and he did not wish to have an
other campaign on the same issue as that
of 1888.
His opposition to Brice was assuming
definite shape when the leaders "got to-
gether" and mapped cut course that pla-
Gated the Maryland Senator aud made him
an enthusiastic supporter of Brice.
The deal was that Whitney should have
the support of the COMMITTEES for the Presi-
dency in 1892 and Colonel Brice should be
elected Chairman, and then should make a
strong fight for the Senate from Ohio. If
he failed to succeed Senator Payne then he
was TO be supported by the committee for
the Vice-Presidency.
Matters have worked well since the al
legged deal. Brice was elected Chairman,
and Senator German was hearty in his sup
port. The Randall-Gorman ring has won
over prominent Cleveland Democrats by
promising To see that they are well taken
care of if the national ticket wins in 1892.
Ex-President Cleveland still thinks his
most influential friends are for him, and
they permit him to indulge in this fatter-
ing delusion.
