Writing from this place Dec.
10th Il correspondent Of the Pitts
burg (Pa) Chr01ic1e- Ie1cgr"Ph
states:
There is much speculation and comment
here in mining and business circles over the
coming accession of Charles f. Mayer to the
presidency of the b. S O. Il. X. This gentle
man has been the presiding officer of the
Consolidation coal company here for a num-
Der of years, and managed the affairs Of this
great coal corporation to the satisfaction of
all his business associates. 1t was through
his efforts that the miners of this and other
neishboring regions received their last vol
untary advance in wages. He laborcd inCes-
sanity in the fall of 1856 to induce the coal
companies Of other regions tShipping to the
Eastern seaboardD to cooperate with him in
an effort to advance the miners wages. His
efforts were crowned with success. In the
event of his successor being appointed, the
miners and business people here need not
fear, as he will advance to Il position which
will perhaps afford him better opportunity
Of fostering the mining and business interests
here in the future than he has had in tho
past,
People who remember the facts
stated by this correspondent have
feared and still fear that the vast
augmentation Of business brought to
Mr., Mayer by his promotion will, in
time, divorce him from interest in
the region. The trend seems un
doubtedly that way.
Nevertheless, the JOURNAL takes
comfort from the assurance Of the
correspondent that in the higher po-
sition he is invested with better op.
portunity to do more for and better
by the region than in the halcyon
years just gone by.

THE advent Of 1889 tins week Sug
gests the desire hat its exit will leave
us all better off than it found us.
The JOURNAL hopes to witness
l, The complete emancipation of
labor in this region from the thral-
dom of the master workman and the
wiles of the walking delegate.
2, Between the gas and electric
companies so much light that ''the
city on IL hill' shall shine far bright
err than a candle ON top Of a bUshel.
3. The convention system Of the
county remodeIed so as to represent
the peoples nominations instead Of
the politicians.
4. \ genuine observance Of Ale
gany county's centennial next Christ
mas day.
5, The associate judges Of the cir
cult court Overturn the current man
agement of the public school system
Of the county. 1t is not too early
for them to look for new men.
6, The number Of buildings erect
ed in Frostburg exceed that Of last
year.
Z, Our merItorious miners grow
and tatten on 80 cents per ton, and
that none of them will be misied by
the igniS tatuU$ Of il mongrcl mining
law, designed, like Il patent medl-
cine, to cure all ills from lunacy to
ringbone, but good for none.
s, The Cumberland and Pcnnsvl
vauia railway brought to the middle
bench and the enterprise capped
with Il depot which shall be an edi
flee to point at with pride.
9, Our merchants, tradesmcn and
mechanics share largely in the pros
perity now so auspiciousIy opening.
10, The uprising of good men Of
both parties against bad nominations,
if any.
II, A president Of the ConsoIida-
tion coal company worthy to step in
to and able to fill Mr., Mayors place :;
i. e., if the latter must resign.
II, The JOURNAL continue to be
the independent advocate and in
vlncible defender of the peoples
rights to the end that the power of
the press may be equal to the virtue
Of the press.
Here are twelves hopes for 1855
one for each month. May they be
realized Amen,

. GREAT GAME OF BALI
Played at the Island Park Yes
terday Afternoon by the
WHEELING AND CANToNCLUBS
Wheeling Defeated-AIausfield wins
Again : Something About Sam
NIchOIs-some Fine Games
this week-Base Ball Notes.

The Wheeling and Canton base ball
clubs met for the first time this season
at Island park yesterday afternoon, and
in the presence Of an audience Of about
$50 people played one OF the best and
most exciting games that has been
played in the Tri.State League this
season, resulting In a victory for the
visitors by a score OF ! to 0. II doubt
full, In fact, il better game has been
played in any league this season than
the one between these two clubs yester,
day. The conditions were not iayora.
BILE for good ball playing, as there was a
very strong wind blowing from the west
that made the work OF calculating the
force and range Of balls hatted into the
air twice as difficult as on a still day,
but that II anything seemed TO put the
players on both sides on their mettle,
and the result was some really brilliant
plays that aroused several Old'tims out
bursts OF enthusiasm, The visitors ex-
celled both ip the field and at the bat
and II Is to the credit Of the audience
that the exCelleppe al the vlsitoTl' work
was ~ generously acknowledged as the
good plays made by the home team.
While Canton won II was more by a
hair than anything else; indeed 1t was
remarkable how hard the leaders in the
league race had.to battle for the victory
that was finally presented to them by
Kennedy aud 0'Rourko,
That fatal one run was made In the
last halt al the ninth inning. Ryn, the
first man at bat, got his base on balls
SHARP came next, and he was also given
hls base on balls, forcing Ryn to second,
Kennedy then continued his gift enter
tainment by letting loose a wild pitch
that advanced the two men on bases
one base each, Hecher then stepped 10
tle plate and tapped q grouRder "a
Q'Rourke, who iumbled 1t and thereby
allowed Ryn to reach home and end thf
game,
The only time Wheeling man got Al
!!:s.ss Us third was in the eighth inning
when Hahrepht knocked out a long ~
thatwould hRTebeen good for q home ruiz
had 1t not been for the wind, which al
that time was blowing a gale, and &c
curved and twisted the sphere about II
the air that 1t fell outside the right llel(
fence inside the two base hit line
Hobrecht was advanced to third BY
Zlmmer's sacrifice and then he died a

first on an assist Of Ryn's. In tn,
seventh Dunn met with a simila
streak Of bad luck. He hit out a howl
ing line fly TO deep left center that woult
have been good for q hame run, had /
not been iot the wind which held It bacl

How Dunn did klckl He expressed bill
belief that should he knock ball to thu

A PRECOCIOus THIEF.
a OolOrsd Boy Steals Nine Watches ii
Three Days.


Yesterday Charles Neulnan, the Mar
ket street dyer, informed Officer Shorts
that a large watch which hung in his
dye house, had been stolen by somebody
who entered from the alley in the rear
in the night. He suspected a colored
boot black named Thomas Patterson,
who had been seen about the place.
Shorts arrested the boy and also O smaller
white boy named Murphy, his constant
companion, One watch was found on
Patterson, but 1t was not Neuman's
watch, BY inquiry and patience Shorts
and Officer Carney got out Of the boys
the hiding places Of eight other watches,
including Neuman's, Ofthe nine, seven
were silver and two gold. The other
seven were stolen at two different times
from Franks pawn shop, on Market
street, the boy getting them out Of q
cigar box where they were kept on
workbench against q rear window, being
left there for repair. They h'eTe taken
by means OF a wire with a hook on the
end, which had been inserted through a
paper pasted oyer broken pane Of glass,
The people In the shop did not know the
watches had been stolen until they were
brought back.
He and the other boy tartedyesterday
to leave tor Nashville, Tenn, and got as
far as Bridgeport, when they changed
their minds,

The Canton and Wheeling clubs will
play at Island park again this afternoon
II yesterdays game Is a fair sample 0
the excellent quality Of ball these two
clubs can DO expected'to put up, II i
fair 10 suppose that there will be q BIZ
crowd in attendance. Few better game
than that Of yesterday will be witnessed
anywhere this season. England will
probably pitch this afternoon. Thu
same clubs will also play together 10
morrow afternoon. Thursday (Decora
ton Day. the two teams will play two
games at Canton.
Friday the Wheeling team will return
home and play an exhibition game tha
afternoon with the indianapolis club o.
the National League. There Is every
reason to believe that there will be !
large turnout for that event, az every
lover OF the game will want To sec the
Well.known Wheeling boy, Jack Glass
cock, the King OF the Shortstops. The
Boston Herald, speaking Of 0 recent visit
OF the Indianapolis club TO that city,
says: ut can DO safely said that OF all
the teams that have been here thus far,
none have approached the indianapolis
in brilliant work. Denny and GlRsScoCk
performed marvels, and saved bases, and
even runs, by their astounding stops and
finished work."
Next Sunday the Wheeling club will
play In Canton again, and then visit
Mansfield for the first time.
