The second local football match of the
season took place at Exposition Park yester-
day, and though oue-sided was exceedingly
interesting. The match was between the
Allegheny Athletic Club team and the
Shadyside eleven. The latter were greatly
overpowered in strength and that fact was
the chief reason of their easy defeat
The weather was fine; the grounds in good
condition, and the attendance large and
fashionable. There was an unusual num-
Der of ladies present and they enjoyed the
contest heartily The manner in which the
match was appreciated generally showed be-
yond doubt that football is destined to be-
come quite popular here. As to the merits
and dement's of yesterdays contest little
need be said. The youngsters from Shady
side were not strong enough to cope with
the big fellows of the Athletic Club. The
Shadyside team fielded well and showed very
good Judgment, but they could not successfully
tackle the big fellows nor withstand their
rushes. The teams were made up as follows:

John Funkhouser, the old gentleman who was
found dead in his lonely shanty in this place
last week, the body being in an advanced state
OF decomposition, were well aware that their
father had died possessed of considerable
money. and since his funeral a vigorous search
has been kept up for it. The deceased, being a
man of eccentric habits, kept the knowledge
of his wealth to himself The search has been
quite successful SO far. In the house in which
he died was found $50 in cash and three bank
books showing deposits in different banks
amounting to S4,2OO also small amounts of
money in gold and silver hidden near the
premises. ~ e. t-'.

the son learned that his father was the owner
of 40 acres of splendid farm land in that town.

Isaiah 7. Montgomery's speech in the Mis-

gratulate myself and my countrymen upon the
illustration which this speech affords of what
any of our citizens can do by proper improve

all. And 1 am sure every colored citizen
should be proud OF a representative of his race
who can make such speech, even if it is re-
garded simply as an intellectual effort and ire
spective of the opinions set forth.
1t seems to me there are many indica-
tions that our coored people are fast reaching
a condition when they will think and act polit-
ically citizens of a country in which they
have the same interest and duty as other citi-
zens. instead of thinking and acting in man

e. j. Baldwin States That Monmouth Park
Track Will be Used for Trotters.
CHICAGO, October 1S-E. J. Baldwin, the
welI-known California horseman, In an inter-
view last evening, said:
You can tell horsemen generally that, be-
ginning with next season, we're going to inau-
gurate straight-mlle trotting races at Mon
mouth Park. and then we'll see some record
breakers. Maud and ] L c will not be in it.
You'll see two-minute mile record as sure as
you're born. We're going to offer big srakes
and get the hest horses of the country there"
Can better time be made over a straight
than a curved track?'
"Why, there's no doubt about it. The out
horse is always at disadvantage and the pole
horse always has the best of it. In mile race
I'll venture TO say the out-horse has to run so
to so yards more in curve mile track. There
being such disadvantages then at the start, it
is not remarkable that frequently it is not
always the best horse that wins the race, run
ming or trotting."

JULIAN HARTS OPINION.
He Returns to Boston and Thinks the Base
ball Trouble Will Soon End.

ball Trouble Will Soon End.
BOSTON, October 1S.-Secretary Julian B.
Hart, of the Boston Ball Club, of the Players
National League, returned from New York
this morning. He says that there will undoubt-
edly be a compromise reached between the two
baseball organizations, but not on lines at all
unfavorable to the Players League. The ac-
count OF what had been said in New York had
been greatly exaggerated. John Ward had not
said that he would play with the men who had
been false to their agreements, but he ex-
pressed himself that there could not be any
settlement on such a basis. The players on the
Boston and New York mines had expressed
themselves in a similar manner.
1t is not true that the players would not have
anything to say about the settlement, as they
had equal say. and at the meeting of the Play
ers' League in New York, on Monday, the
players will have equal representation with
the capitalists. The Conference Committee of
the Players League has no power beyond that
of reporting to the Central Board OF Directors
and this will be done on Monday.
Mr.. Hart said that he had no fears at all
about the future as far as the Players League
and his club are concerned.
