RACE RIOT.
One Hungarian Shot Through the Heartburn
Der of Irishmen and Poles Seriously In

One Hungarian Shot Through the Heartburn
Der of Irishmen and Poles Seriously In
jured.
WILMINGTON, DEL, Sept. 8.-Last
night a race riot broke out in the lower
part of Newcastle, locally known as
Dobbinsville, between gangs of Irish
men, Poles and Slavacs employed in the
Tasker iron works, in the course of which
an Hungarian named Francis r. Jan
kOvsky was shot in the heart and in
stantIy killed by some one Of the
Irish rioters, and an Irishman named
0. W. z. KaYanagh was stabbed in ten
or eleven places by an unknown
hungarian. Kavanagh will recover.
The rioting was the outcome of bad feel
ing that had existed between the differ
ent nGEtionalities ever since the entrance
of the Poles and Slavacs in the mills
nearly two years ago. Thirty-thTee Of
the Slavacs have been arrested and war
rants will be Issued for the Irish
participants, who, in the pre-
urinary hearing before Mayor
Hanson this afternoon it was shown were
the aggressors. The evidence thus far
indicates that Jankovsky was trying TO
escape from several intoxicated Irish
rioters when one of the latter fired
shotgun, the load passing through
Jankovsky' heart. Five Irishmen, two
Hungarian men and hungarian woman
also received wounds from gunshOts and
missiles in the melee.

saturdays Game.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The Tribune
says in relation TO the Brooklyn-St.
Louis game yesterday: The Brooklyn
and st. Louis game at Washington Park
Yesterday ended in almost q riot. In the
ninth inning the st. LOUIS meu left the
Held, asserting Il was too dark to play
longer. and the greatest excitement fol-
lowed among the Is 1876 persons present.
Umpire Goldsmith promptly gave
the game to Brooklyn by 9 TO 0.
The score at the time was t to
III favor OF st. LOUIS. The St. Louis
club VIII be fined $500 for leaving the
field. One or two of the St. Louis play
ers were roughly handled by the crowd.
The St Louis players deserve to lose the
game and the association should take
prompt action in the matter at once.
The game had gone on nicely up to the
the sixth inning and from that time was
nightmare. The visiting men
delayed the game by every de-
vice known to base ball. Umpire Gold
smith fined the players repeatedly, but
this action had no effect upon the hard
eued WeSterners. a friend OF the st.
Louis club procured candles in the eighth
inning, and after lighting them, placed
them around the players bench. This
sarcastic action seemed humorous on
the part Of the st. Louis players. The
st. Louis club made no demand for its
share of the gate receipts for the good
reason that the money would have been
withheld until the association takes
action

AFRAID OF STONES.
Why st. Louis Refused to Play Brooklyn
Yesterday-Saturday's Trouble.
The Game Presented to the Home Team

tween the Managers.
r1nornidn,t Play BalI.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Between fifteen
thousand and twenty thousand people
went to Ridgewood park, Long Island
TODAY to witness the game between the
St. Louis and Brooklyn teams. The st.
Louis team refused to play. In fact, the
PLAYERS did not even go to the grounds.
When the time for the game to begin ar
rived Umpire Goldsmith formally pre-
scented the game to the Brooklyn CLUB by
2 score of 9 to O. The crowds had
been admitted to the grounds free,
admission to the grand stand only being
charged. To amuse the crowd an eXhi-
bition game was arranged. After five
inning game Foutz's nine defeated
O'Brien 5 nine Z to 8. G. II. Byrne,
manager of the Brooklyn team, was
highly indignant at the action Of the st.
Louis club and viii DO everything IN his
. power to make the Western champions
suffer dearly.

self up as judge and jury in this case, -
said MI. Byrne tonight. His team IS
liable to expulsion. \ special meeting
Of the ASSOCIATION viii be held in day or
two, and then the matter will be
settled.
AtII p. IL. on Saturday Mr.. ByTne
received the following telegram.
c II. Byrne, President Brooklyn Base Ball Club:
refuse TO allow my club to play any
more games in Brooklyn.
TSigned7 CHRIsVoN DER AHE.
On receipt of this telegram Mr.. ByTne
Immediately wired to President Wykof
at Columbus as follows:
''Von der Abe refuses to allow his
club to play ia Brooklyn. Please notify
him that if he fails to play the games as
scheduled he subjects himself to eXpul-
sion. We have q tribunal to which he
can appeal if any injustice has been done
him. Telegraph him to the Grand Cen
tral hotel, New York city.
Mr.. Won Der Abe, president Of the st.
Louis club, was seen tonight and said he
had good reasons for not taking his team
to Ridgewood park. He said he under
stood the rulings IN the case perfectly
and was willing to abide by the decision
Of the association. He seems to think he
has been uniustiy treated, not only in
Brooklyn, bat IN other cities, and he
proposes to make test case of It.
s'lf with their police arrangements at
Washington Park on Saturday they
could not protect US, how would they do
it at Ridgewood without police? I was
stoned at RidgewoOd last year and 1
don t want any more of IT. Ny players

Euowledged to our men he knew it was
too dark to play that game on Saturday.

Modern Geology.
PoDular Science MONTHLY,


Within recent years there seems to
have been infused into almost every
domain of physical science fresh life.
Through gradually acquired generaliza-
tions higher points Of view have been
reached; old notions have been discarded
for newer and broader ones. Professor
Langley tells us of the "new as
tIonomy; the doctrine Of the converse
ton of energy has given US new physics;
evolution, new biology; and the study
Of carbon compounds, new chemistry.
So, too, the application Of the microscope
st63the study of rocks has given US new
geology.
The recent development in the science
of the earth consists of the return to the
work begun by its earliest pioneers. The
old photographers were right. If we
would know the life history of our planet
we must learn the origin, structural re-
latious and composition Of our rocks.
We must discover the forees-chemical
and physical-which work in and upon
them and we must see how they work.
As have already said, the early geol-
oglsts had full faith in the Importance of
their labors, but they were forced to
abandon them by lack of methods and
appliances suitable to- cope with the
difficulties presented. To-day this i'm
poTtance is not diminished but rather in
creased by what has been accomplished
along other lines. If we can renew the
attack upon the. old questions with i'm
proved weapons, the rewards OF victory
are as promising as ever. 1t Is beIeVed.
that such weapons are now in our hands,
and the hope Of success is almost daily
attracting fresh and earnest workers to
the ranks from every land.

BLACKFEET SIOUX.
A recent dispatch from Fort Yates, N.
D. says that John Grass, chief of the
BIackfeet Sioux, is seriously i'll and not
expected to live. He is one of the no.
blest of red men; man of ability and
great character Of all the eminent In.
dams who fought against the United
States troops in the war which ended HSth
the surrender of Sitting Bull at FGgt
Buford, John Grass is the most notables.
He has worn the white man S dress since
that event and accommodated himself as
far as the ability has been within his
reach to civilized usages. The govern
ment appointed him judge of native
court at Standing Rock. He was SCI
lected by the tribes having their head
quarters at that place to speak for them
recently when the Sioux commission pro-
posed to buy their lands. When he saw
that the whites would take the lands he
used his influence in favor of the gov
eminent treaty. Grass Is about forty
seven years old, nearly six feet tall and
a handsome, courtly man. He is
friend of education and Christian. As
supreme Judge of his nation he has gwen
decisions which are described as uni
formIy just Whether in peace or war
he has proved himself a great man.

THE AUTOMATIC OPTICIAN.
Put Penny in the Slot and Get Measured for
Eyeglasses.

Eyeglasses.
Medical Journal.
That we live in an age of me chanical
ingenuity is no doubt matter of con-
graduation. To be able to get box of
matches by putting penny into slot is
sometimes Convenient, and it affords the
same kind of pleasureable excitement to
the young man from the country as the
never failing g confidence trick, - while
the risk is insignificant. But oman
wants but little here below, nor wants
that little long - He is apparently
tired of chocolates, pencils and dabs OF
scent. Even the weighing machine pals;
trials of strength against an iron antag-
ouist who, with an immOvable face, re-
CORDS the result in pounds, are apt to
prove humiliating, and it is difficult to
hit an unoffending cushion with NAL
evidence which does the hitter Justice.
An automatic machine has now been
invented which undertakes TO test the
sight. The trustful one deposits the
necessary penny in the usual way, and
then stares through two holes with bOtn
ewes at once, while he revolveS a handle
until he can read the test types with
ease. He then reads off the number
WnlCD
by the word convex or ''oOncave, -
opens the magic drawer, and amid the
ieers of the spectators, draws out-not
the spectacIes, but a blank card. Most
persons will glide this surreptitiously
into pocket and walk away with
an expression of satisfaction. But
the instructions are that the number,
with the word convex or 'concave
are to be written on the card, with. the
name and address of the sender, and the
card is to be posted in slit provided for
that purpose. a pair Of spectacIes will
fiisa. Ia, sept, on receipt of a prieeS which
is somewhat higher than is charged by
many spectacle makers.
We fail to see what the loiteTer gets
for his penny. Any jeweier would give
him glasses that are at least not likely to
be more wrong than those prescribed by
the machine, and although these persons
seldom take the trouble TO see that spec
tacles fit properly, few purchasers would
leave the shop without seeing that they
could get them onto the face.
The machine makes no provis-
ion for even this modest require
ment. Moreover, the human ma
chine is amenable to various means OF
persuasion and can generally be induced
BY some of these TO take back pair OF
5 glasses that prove 20 be. useless, 4or in
sjhrious, but the aOtomatic machine ap-
pSarS to afford no facility for returning
E;speetacles. 1t may, however, be doubted
whether this apparatus VIII do much
harm; the "penny- wise and pound-tool-
SSH folk viii not incur the preliminary
Expense, and few of the much larger
stass of penny win go further

NEW YORK, Sept. After many

almost impossible for the driver to bring

ous. The audience in the academy was
not nearly rs large as had been eX-

ably, was the high price charged for adj
mission. The programme was COM
paraUveIy tame one, tie only
really good contest being a wrest-
ling match between MuldOOn and
Greek George. Sullivan appeared
late in the evening. His appearance on
the stage was the signal for tumultuous
applause. which lasted fully ten minutes.
The big fellow stepped TO the footlights
and made one of his characteristic
speeches. He said:
''Geutlemeu, or, rather, Ladies and
Gentlemen, for notice there are several
ladies present. do not have to say to
you I am at present suffering from the
sad afiictiou Of the loss of my mother,
