BROOKLYN, August 22.-Through rank
errors the Pittsburg team were given an
excellent opportunity to win to-day's game
from the Brooklyn team on the Eastern
Park grounds. but after securing what
looked like winning lead they were seized
with case eff rattles and before they could
settle down the Brooklyns had stolen a
silent march on them and by scoring five
runs took the lead and eventually the
victory.
The home team held the lead for the first
five innings, but threw it away only to recov-
er it again in the eighth inning. when their
chances seemed very small. Robinson's
work at second base was what killed the Wis
itors' chances of winning. There was no
end to errors on both sides. All the excite
ment seemed to come from the players bench;
they hooted and yelled and neither of the
two umpires seemed to have any control over
the men. The batting on both sides vas
even, but the home teams hits were little
more punched. The score:

ing Barnet Remer, a merchant In Springhill
township, GreeRe county. was awakened by an
explosion and looking from a window in his
room, found that the store. which stood near
his dwelling. was in flames. The noise he heard
was caused by the explosion of a can of powder,
and as this added to the flames, it was impos-
sible to save any of the goods. He then turned
his attention to the furniture and valuables in
his dwelling much of which he saved without
assistance, as the nearest neighbor lived quar-
ter of mile away.
The fire soon spread from the store to the
house, and both were totally destroyed. The
dwelling had only been erected within the past
year. The total loss Is about 81 900, which is
partially insured. The origin of the fire is not
known, as there had been no fire about the
store for some time.

MCKEEsPoRT, August 22.-The McKeesport
electric passenger railway has failed to secure
the right Of way over the streets, which has
been given to the old company, and now the
new company has made similar failure at
Reynoldton. When the old company applied
to Harrisburg for the right to increase its capi-
tai stock from $50 600 to s1OO, 900 it was met by
objections by the ambitious new company,
When the Governor examined the charter and
the rights of way yesterday, which granted
privileges through Reynoldton in addition to
this city, the clerk was directed to issue no
charter to any other company, as the present
charter owned by the old company is good at
both places. They thus have the right of way
all through and have had their capital stock in
creased SO as to build electric lines. This leaves
the new company completely knocked out in
both McKeesport and Reynoldton.
