BROOKLYN, August 1.-The Brooklyns played
two games with the Pittsburg team at Wash

semblance of an error did the Brooklyns make,
and while the record of base hits shows 10 to
against them, then made Hecker's hair stand
fairly on end in the two innings that they
scored their runs. Every run was earned, and
Pinkney, Burns and DAILY each cracked out
home runs The fielding of the local team was
elegant. The general display of the Pitts
burgers was an agreeable surprise. Their field
ing was of a very high order. they ran bases
well, but in only one inning were they success
full in punching their hits. The visitors have
an excellent man IN Wilson at first, and Sales
play at short was very prominent feature.
The outfielders had to hustle, and hustle they
did. The score:

STEADY, BOYS!

But while the Pittsburg men made fine spurts
the Brooklyns were playing steady game,
and though they did not outplay the local
team, they earned their game. 1t was hard
fight all through, and about the only man who
didn't do his duty was Shortstop Ward. But
Corcoran, IN the same territory. made several
beautiful plays. His stop of Van Haltren's
liner in the sixth inning was as pretty piece
of work as has been seen on the grounds.
Pittsburg took the stick end at the begin
ming of the controversy. Visner was hit by
pitched ball. and Maui took his place. He got
second on a passed ball. and scored on Wards
wild throw of Fields grounder. The Brooklyns
went them one better in their half. After two
men were out Andrews got base on balls, and
scored on Orr's corking triple. Bauer's single
scored Orr. and SeerY flew out.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH1
CHARLESTON, W. VA, August IA
romantic story of daring attempt to steal
bride, and the recapture of the young lady
by her irate father, has reached here. Jennie
Barker is pretty country lass of about IA
summers, lived with her parents in the
wilds Of Boone county. Peter Kinder was
stalwart youth of 49, living in the same
neighborhood. Notwithstanding their tender
years, strong affection for each other had
sprung up in their fresh young hearts, and
the usual consequences followed. Peter was
a frequent caller at the Barker home. He was
often seen at meetings with Jennie, and the
Barker front gate began to sag.
After this sort of thing had been going on for
some time, it became evident to each that life
without the other was not worth the living.
and they agreed to marry. Here, however, the
paternal Barker took a hand. 1t had come to
the ears Of the unsuspectiDg old man that his
girl was about to take this important step, and
he sternly forbade it.
FOOLED THE OLD MAN.
Not only did he do that. but he told Peter
that he had better not set foot on his farm
again. Peter left, but with settled deter
week ago old man Barker went away from
home, leaving his daughter there alone. Peter.
ever watchful, saw his opportunity, took
couple of friends and some horses to the home
of his fancee and. finding Jennie ready, put
her on horseback and the party set out for this
city on dead gallop. Barker here returned
unexpectedly, grasped the situation and was
soon in hot pursuit. ..-
Then occurred most exciting race. Peter,
Jennie aud the two "best men" were speeding
their horses as fast as possible in the belief
they would be pursued Behind was the de-
termined father and a friend intent on max
ing a capture. At last the lovers reached
Brownstown. In a few minutes the train
which was to carry them to Charleston would
be due and they would be safe. Here with
safety almost within their grasp they found the
train was an hour late. The depot was filled
with waiting passengers, Peter and Jennie
among them and the two "Dest men" were pac-
ing up and down the platform, when suddenly,
amid cloud of dust,
OLD MAN BARKER APPEARED
with his horse at full speed and a shotgun on
his shoulder. His demand for his daughter
was refused and admission to the waiting room
was denied by the three young men who drew
their revolvers. The old man drew both ham,
mers of his shotgun back and was about to en-
force his demand, when bystanders interferred,
preventing bloodshed and Peter was forced to
give up the bride he had so nearly won: The
old man and his daughter started in one direc-
tion while Peter and his friends went in an
other. The young men procured guns and lay
in wait for Barker till late the next morning,
only to find he had gone safely home by an
other road. Peter says the affair is not over
yet, and that Jennie will yet be his wife.
