BUCKET SHOPS REOPENING.
Cleveland Firm Making a Strong Bid for
Pittsburg Patronage.

CieVeiand FIRM MAKING strong Bid for
Pittsburg Patronage.
The recent failures in the bucket shou
here has not had the effect of wiping out
the business, as was first supposed. Several
OF the old firms have reopened up and they
are leasing telegraph lines through
out this State and Ohio, where
branch Offices are being established
every day. A firm in Cleveland has en-
tered into competition with the local firms
for the trade in this State, and they are
making great efforts to outdo each other in
furnishing market reports to the smaller
towns.
The successful operation of this business
requires an outlay of considerable wealth to
run it on a 6rst-class basis. Many miles of
telegraph wires have to be leased at prices
that the telegraph companies see fit to de-
mand.
In talk with large bucket shop keeper
before the late crash, which carried his firm
to the wall, he said, in speaking of the large
sums paid the telegraph com panies in the
way of rentals: 1T is simply enormous the
amount of money the Western Union has
made from stock brokers. II it were figured
out how much they received from brokers
in nearly every city, who lease wires at an
average rate of S25 per mile yearly, it
would go far into the millions. They have
lost considerable by the failures, which was
caused by the continued boom in railway
shares"

Serious Race War.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
CHARLESTON, W. VA, July l0.-There are
grave fears that serious race war will break
out in the Pocahontas and Bramwell mining re-
gion, arising out of a terrible riot occurring on
a train on the Norfolk and Western Railroad,
on the evening of July 4. Two or three hun
dred colored miners from Pocahontas had been
on an excursion on the Bluestone branch of the
railroad. and on returning many were under
, the influence of liquor While in the cars
some of the negroes got into row with an un-
known white man, and were proceeding to cut
his throat when Detective W. T. Baidwell and
three of his detectives, who were on the train.
interfered. The detectives were at once at
tackled and a terrible riot eDsued IN the cars
the seats being broken to pieces and used as
clubs.
Baldwin was terribly beaten about the head
and is in precarious condition. Campbell
another detective, was badly wounded in the
side. Detective Robertson had his right arm
broken. r. NJ. Baldwin, the fourth detective
escaped. Nine negroes were knocked down,
and one was shot in the shoulder and in the left
arm. The train was stopped at Bramwell,
where the citizens came to the aid of the detec-
tives and probably saved their lives, Six
negroes are in jail.

RPKcIAL TELEoRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
BOSTON, July 1L-Captain Hanlon's
braves struck Beantown to-day adorned
with war paint and scalps and expected to
show Kelly's vets thing or two about base
ball. But they were neatly taken captives
and were marched into camp to the tune of
II to 6. The only excuse they could give
was their inability to bat and the almost
perfect fielding of the Bean-eaters. Daley
pitched for Boston. and he was so wild that
the PittsbuIgers did not dare to stand up to
the plate. He presented eight of them
with bases and tried to slaughter Visner,
because he had the temerity to stand
up to his work In addition to these eccen-
tricities he had two wild pitches. Tener was
too accommodating, and the Bean Eaters sized
him up for six singles, three doubles, three
bagger and two home runs. This did not serve
TO steady his nerves, and occasionally he gave
man his base on balls to relieve the monotony
and gave the fielders rest Hatfield, formerly
of the New y Yorks, made his first appearance
and as a Bean Eater. and accepted every
chance offered but he did not have much to do.
Corcoran had some hustlIng to do for his side
and made several fine stops. but he also made
some costly errors, which gave the Bostons five
runs. Attendance. $685. The score:

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
SCoTTDALE, July N.-Messrs Kerfoot and
Parker, the officials of the Knights of Labor,
and Superintendent Courtney. of the Waverly
Coal Company, operators of the Smithton Coke
Works, held a conference to-day for the pur-
pose of settling the strike there which has been
on for three months. The conference went on
with very few bitches until this afternoon, when
Superintendent Courtney drew up scale and
presented it to the officials for their considera-
ton and signature. The latter refused to con-
slider the proposed agreement unless Courtney
would strike out the clause which. in substance
was to the effect that the company would not
recognize labor organizations. This was not
done, however, and IN fact nothing was accom-
plished.
1t is quite probable that settlement will be
effected soon, as the representative OF the CON-
pany has agreed to consider the miners SCALE
The so Italians who were shipped there from
Punxsutawney TO break the strike refused to
work rO-daV.

Pittsburg Capitalists Interested in Short
Line TO McKeesport.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
MoKEEsPoRT, July l0.-There is a scheme
in the air to connect this city and Pittsburg by
an electric passenger railway. President Cal
lery, of the Second avenue line in Pittsburg,
and also of the Pittsburg and Western Rail-
road, is the alleged protector of the scheme.
The route proposed is from the end of the pres
ent line at Glenwood TO Homestead by bridge
and from the latter place the line proceeds
through the back country to Dravosburg. From
Dravosburg it crosses the bridges through
Reynoldton to this city, along Fifth avenue TO
Riverton, across the new Duquesne bridge to
Duquesne and from there back over the hill
connecting with the above described line.
The idea seems to be TO absorb the McKees-
port Passenger Railway at least to make
a traffic arrangement with it. The route, it is
claimed, is fully surveyed and right of way Sc
cured to Dravosburg. The distance to Pitts
burg by this route is claimed to be between
eight and nine miles.

The East and West VIII be Separated,
According 10 President Hewitt.
WASHINGTON, July 1l-"My impression,
based upon reliable and recent information"
said President Hewitt to-day, "is that next
season will witness an Eastern and Western
baseball circuit. Already the East is
tired of losing money. paying for long and ex-
pensive trips to the West. and the proposition
is receiving earnest consideration by the mag
mates of putting stop to such q
waste. No one for az instant believes that
the Brotherhood will last another season, and
the best players Of the organizations will be
found next year in the Eastern and Western
teams. Already suggestion has been made
looking to the formation of one Eastern
League in which Washington will be rep
resented, and the best paying cities in this
section will be enrolled under the new banner.
When the new league is organized Washing
ton will be represented. and money can be made
if good team is secured and admission is hxed
at so cents"

with Mace.and in 1871 brought him to Canada to
meet Coburn. Later on he trained Aaron
Jones, an Englishman for a successful battle
with Mike McCool for large

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHl
CORY, July 10.-This city was the scene of a
terrible panic last night created by fire in the
Opera House, which is located in the third
story of the City Hall. There were probably
200 people present at the entertainment.
Early in the evening the ticket Office was dis
covered on fire. Almost Immediately the gas
meter which was in the ticket Office gave way,
throwing the whole Opera House in total dark
ness The widest excitement prevailed. Men,
women and children screamed and screeched
and an awful rush was made for the fire
escapes and the main hall, which fortunately is
Is feet wide. Two short flights of stairs had to
be descended before the hall was reached, At
the farther end, on the left hand side, stood the
burning ticket office, and just beyond sharp
turn in the hall, and then another long, wide
flight of stairs leading to the ground floor.
Everybody made their exit. No one fell and
not person received more than an awful
fright and slight jury.
The fire department soon extinguished the
fire with but slight loss. A kerosene lamp
which had been used in the Office was after
ward found among the bbish with part of the
top of the chimney broken and the inside of
the chimney full of soou showing beyond all
doubt that it had been left burning and ex-
ploded. The lamp was also badly broken.
