Four straight Victories from the Chicago
IL. L. Club have made Ward and his Brooklyn
team q very popular aggregation in the. City OF
Churches. Yesterdays game. which was
played on the Eastern Park grounds. attracted
400 spectators This small gathering was
treated to a good exhibition OF ball playing. In
which tho home team excelled In every respect.
The Chcagos were whitewsshed simply
because they could not fathom WeyhinRs de-
livery. The litter had splendid command OF
the sharp Kind. Four hits are all that tho
Chicagos made and these were scattered. Not
one Of the visiting hatters reached third or
second base smelly during the game, and only
eight men saw first base. The remarkable
team work Displayed by tho Brooklyn Club
hslped them wonderfully on to victory and pre-
vented the visitors from scoring.
Joyce and Bauer's fielding was beautiful,
and with the assistance of Orr the fret two
named participated In two. very pretty double
for the Chicago team. and his curves were easily
solved when mon were on the bases Owing to
q lame leg. Ward was prevented from playing.
His services were not greatly missed. however,
for Van flatren filled the bill to perfection.

beyond recognition and in the left side
was a great. gaping hole. The mans
shoes had been wrenehed from
his feet and his garments reduced
to shreds. The legs and arms were ap-
parently fractured. The bodies were
placed on a fat car and taken to the
Exchange street station and removed to
the mOrgue, preparatory to taking them
to the homes of the dead men. The
cause OF the explosion it is not
likely will ever be definitely
known. Supt Broadhead said to-
day: at is one of those mySter-
ious affairs which no one has ever yet
been able to satisfactorily explain" Its
immense force fist suggested what IS
called dry expl osion. but this theory
was disslpated by the fact that a build
ing several hundred feet from the track
was struck by volume of muddy water
that it is believed came from the
exploded boiler. The tank Of the
tender was not quite full, from
which it was concluded that water
had been pumped into the boiler short
time before it exploded. The engine
was q sixty-ton consolidated Baldwin.
and had been in service about ten years.
1t was 0verhauled in the shops about
three or four months ago. 4 coroner,
with Master Mechanic Hickman. OF the
Lehigh Valley, and other experts. will
tomorrow make an examination OF the
fragments of the boiler, and later the
coroner will hold an inquest.

WANTS a FAIR COUNT.
Supt. Porter Doesn't Care for
Padded Returns.

WASHINGTON, May I1.-Supt. Porter
has sent the following important order
to all supervisors of census: 1t has
been brought TO the attention of the SUI
perinteHdent of census that the city
councils and boards of trade OF certain
Western cities have appropriated sums
of money to aid their census supervisors
in the enumeration of the population.
While it may be urged by some that
such a proceeding is legitimate, and
merely intended to help the government
to obtain a fair and full enumeration, I
am compelled to look upOn it as al al
most irresistible temptation 10 fraud, and
as consequently endangering All honest
count Of the people. If tolerated by
this office it would have a tendency 10
bring the whole census into direpute.
You are, therefore, positively instructed
not to receive any snch compensation
yourself, not to cOuntenance for one i'll
stant the payment OF any sum of money
whatever by municipalities, corpora
tiOnS, associations or persons to
enumeratOrs. Any supervisor of
census who is not content with the re-
muneratiOn allowed by law (Which is
double the amount paid in 1SS0) should
at once resign. The eleventh census
must and shall be above suspicion. To
tolerate any action on the part of muni-
cipalIties, associations, organizations or
individuals, no matter how powerful
they may be. which has for
its purpose the debauching, or
which would even throw the
slightest taint upon the truthfuIness
of the return, would, in my opinion, be
nothing short of crime against the
people of the United States. This whole
matter. together with the facts in the
possession of this Office, has been laid
before the honorable secretary of the
interior, and the action OF the suDerin-
tendent of census in placing every
legitimate obstacle at his command in
the way of the distribution Of local
funds for this purpose meets with the
secretary's approval"

SILVER AND TARIFF.

pairing for Talk.

Both Branches of Congress Pre-
pairing for Talk.
WASHINGTON, May II. = The pro-
gramme for the week in congress may
be briefly stated, silver in the senate
and tariff in the house. Under the ar
rangement that was effected last Thurs
day Senator Jones (Nevada) will open
the debate on the silver bill at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. When that de-
bate will end is uncertain. but it is ex-
pected to last at least a week and prob
ably longer. Senator Cameron has
given notice that he will introduce reso-
lutions in memory of the late Repre-
sentative W. D. Kelly, Of Pennsylvania,
Friday afternoon, and Saturday will be
devoted to the calendar. In the house
the tariff debate is to continue all OF
this week. 1t will be under what Is
known as the five-minute rule, and
every member who desires to talk and
who was not able to participate III the
general debate will be given the Oppor-
tunity to state his views briefly. Prob
ably it will be necessary to adopt rule
to fix the length Of the debate, and the
attempt to do this may arouse some re-
sistance, but it is a foregone conclusion
that the original programme-to close
the debate and vote upon the bill May
I8-WilI be strictly carried out.

Almost Unparalleled Torture
Of Children by Their
Parents.
The Mother Pulls Hair From
the Head of Her Daugh-
ter in HandfulS
And Repeatedly Sinks Her
Teeth Into the Arms Of
Her Victim.
A Mob Surrounds the House
Only to Find the Fiends
Had Fled.

BANGOR, Me-, May IA shocking
case of child-torture is reported from
Old Town, a dozen miles up the river.
Fred Sawyer and wife, with two little
daughters. eight and ten years, live IN
little white frame house on the out
skirts of Old Town village. Sawyer
himself is not regarded as particularly
vicious man, but his wife is veritable
fiend. 1t has long been known by the
neighbors that the little girls were not
we'll treated. but last week it was
learned that they were subjected almost
daily to shocking abuse, the eldest.
Myrtle, being especially maltreated.
Several persons declared that they
had seen the stepmother take Myrtle by
the hair, pull it from the head in hand
fuIs and then throw her violently to the
ground. while others have seen the un-
natural woman strike the child across
the face with club with such force as
to make her unconscious. Saturday
night mob surrounded the Sawyers'
house, with the expectation OF captur-
ing him and his wife. They were too
late. The couple, having got wind OF
what was going on. skipped from Ban
gor, leaving the children behind. The
oldest child presented pitiful appear
ance, her frail little body being covered
with cuts, sores and bruises from head
to foot. Her left wrist was broken and
her arm fractured, while the bridge OF
her nose was smashed in as though by q
blow from club. 1t was found that
her wrist and arm had been broken six
weeks before by the step-mother throw
ing the child heavily to the ground and
then kicking her. No attention was
paid to the child's sufferings, the saw
age step-mother threatening her with
instant death if she did not stop crying;
and, moreover, the helpless victim was
told that she would certainly be killed
if she complained to any one of her
treatment. Not content with this, the
tigresS actually sank her teeth repeat
edly into the arms and body OF the vic
tim. The girls clothing became glued
to her flesh with cl0ts Of blood. and the
physician VINO called was obliged to use
warm water TO remove her garments.

THE SAMOAN TREATY.
1t Is Signed by MaIietoa and the
COnsuls.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE steam
er Zealandia, which arrived last night,
brings from Samoa particulars of ths
signing of the treaty by King Malietoa
and the American. BriuSh and German
cOnSulS, Oh the 18th of last month.
Great interest was manifested in the
event, and large number of the
natives, and nearly all the white
population of ADia, assembled around
the house where the treaty was ratified,
The king and the three conSuls gathered
around the table in the kings house on
which a copy of the treaty was placed.
A certificate was read and translated,
and then handed to MalietOa, vino
signed it. The three cOnSuiS then at
taehed their signatures. Several days
before the treaty was ratified, the three
cOnSuls sent a letter to MalietOa, inelOs-
ing a copy of the treaty as adopted by
the Berlin conference. and giving the
following explanation: ''ThIS treaty will
allow the people of Samoa to form
government under their own native
king strong enough to prevent further
civil war and to keep peace and good
order in Samoa. tins Offering every Sc
curity for the future welfare of its peO-
pie. The-earrying ont of the provisions
will, it is true, cause considerable eX-
pense, but it is not on the shoulders OF
the people of Samoa, but it is on those
of the foreign residents of the Islands
that the part Of the new charges is laid.
1t Will. therefore, be for the best inter
est of the Samoan people that this gen-
eral act be, as whole, assented 10 and
accepted by the government Of Samoa"

WASHINGTON. May 11.-Assistant Sec
retarv Tichenor mas written letter to
the house committee on appropriations
in regard to the immigration laws and
the Chinese exclusion act. He calls at
tention to the fact that while the I'M
migrant law prohibits the landing in
this country of convicts, lunatics, Idiots
and paupers who come by water in yes

the case of immigrants of this character

has received reports that large mum
Der OF those undesirable people have re-
Gently drifted into this country from
Mexico and Canada. Mr.. Tichenor
therefore suggests an amendment to the
law to prevent a continuance of this
immigration. He recommends that the
appropriation for the enforcement of
the alien contract labor law be increased
from $4,000 to $4,000, and that the ap-
preparation fol the enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion act be increased from
$50, 600 to $50, 900, and also that the sec
retary be authorized to return to China
