structive wreck occurred on the Western
North Carolina Railroad, at Melrose station,

capped by jumping; two colored brakemen,
named Foster and Greenlee, painful, but
not dangerous, wounds.
From the apex Of Ssluda Mountain to
Melrose, the scene OF the accident, dis
tance of more than three miles, there is a
fall of 600 feet, and an engine is kept con-
stantly to help all the trains up and down
the mountain. the track was very wet
last night when coal train started down,
and soon after beginning the descent it be-
came evident that the IL loaded cars
were too much for both engines to hold
with all brakes down, and the speed grad
ually quickened under the heavy pressure
until a speed of IS miles an hour was
reached, when the tracks spread and the
entire outfit plunged headlong down the
mountain with a terrible crash, burying be-
meath the broken cars, crossties and earth the
brave fellows who had stood to their posts.

LIVERPOOL, June 18.-The board Of in
quiry into the City OF Paris disaster met
again this morning. Chief Engineer Walls
was recalled and testified as to his efforts to
prevent the water rushing in until the
vessel reached Queenstown, and to keep the
engine room from being submerged. These
efforts, be said, failed because the large
pipes and condenser were broken. He,
however, succeeded in reducing the amount of
water in the cargo holds, all the men in his de-
partment remaining at their posts until the
water drove them out. After seeing the vessel
in the dry docks he had no doubt that after the
bearing had worn out the shaft broke and then
the engine. The bearing was worn out because
the brass liner burst the bulkhead between the
engine room, and the after boiler room kept
quite sound and no holes were made in the
skin of the ship anywhere. A hole was broken
in the inner bottom by a heavy piece of ma
chinery failing In the crank pit, but the ship
being double bottomed no water was admit ed
Captain Watkins said in his evidence that
the ship had fore and aft sails spreading ll.OO0
square feet of canvass. but there was no WIND
to make her sails available. He added that IN
his opinion it was not desirable to have sreas
spread of canvas in large steamships, especially
in those having twin screws. The reason ne
did not send off a boat at first was that tney
were in the track OF vessels. Dut as soon az ne
found that the ship was getting wide OF the
track he sent out Immediately. There were
plenty of life boats to carry all on board, and,
although he felt no doubt of the ships safety,
he had the boats made ready in case of need:
Peter Sampson, assistant engineer to the
Board of Trade, being examined, stated that he
had examined the ship after the accident and
that he approved the construction throughout.
and thought the trouble was due to the burst.
ing of the brass liner, through the expansion OF
the lignum Vita after immersion. Sir Edward
Reed, late Chief Conductor Of the Navy, said
that he had thoroughly examined the ship and
found her specially adapted to the service re-
Quired from her, and her structure beneath the
bed fat of the machinery was admirably
adapted to give strength and security. Sir
Edward praised very highly the various novel
features introduced into the City of Paris. es-
pecially the use of cast steel, as is the custom
In Her Majesty's navy. He considered that the
shaft was amply supported and thought that
such an accident as split liner was not un-
common and the City of Paris was fully up to
admiralty designs and requirements for swift
cruisers. The inquiry will be resumed to-mor-
row,

Deacon Whites Buffalo boys labored long
and hard yesterday, but the Goddess of
Fortune smiled sweetly upon the nome ag-
gregatiou, and the people from the lake
we're never able to cross the home plate,
while Hanlon's hustlers Tailed SIX times
without any particular trouble. The teat-
ure Of the game was the clean home run hit
of Gray, the East Ender, who is covering
Robiuson's position at second base. The
ball was lined out between left and center
nearly to the fence, and by the time it was
returned the runner was making for his seat
in the shade of the grand stand. Kuehne
also distinguished himself by a three-oagger,
but the balance of the hits on either side were
only singles and some of them rather scratchy.
Staley pitched great game OF ball, really
only giving the opposition three hits, although
two more are technically added. Lady
Baldwin although less fortunate and at times
a trihe wild, really did first-class work, and
fooled the boys considerably. The only error
made by the Bisons was an e1cusable muf of
Roy's For the home club Hanlon, Carroll
and Beckley carried of the fielding honOrs,
and Gray displayed considerable qulckness
and aptitude. He made one wild throw TO
first, but Carroll by great run, backed up
and stopped the ball, sverting an error.
The first inning was without result. but In
the second the locals started the enthusiasm of
the l,45O spectators by counting three runs
upon base on balls, Hoy's tumble in center,
and Gray's hit to the fence. In the fifth two
taIlies were added a single and a base on
balls aided by sacrifice and some lively run
ming. The final score was earned In the
seventh by two hits and sacrifice. The
Deacon's sdherents got several men on bases
at various times, but none of them ever got be-
yond third. At least twice they looked little
like counting, but Staley and his supporters
braced up and dispelled the faint ray of hope.
The score.

MAGNIFICENT BALL.
The Cleveland Nationals Shut Out at
Recreation Park.
ONLY TWO HITS MADE OFF BAKER.
The Pittsburgs Hit Hard and Played an
Errorless Game.
SCORES OF THE OTHER LEAGUE GAMES

A greater game than that played at Rec
reation Park yesterday afternoon has not
been seen in this city for many day. 1t
was magnificent game from every stand
point. The members OF both teams played
as though hearts were in the game
and their work was away above par.
The local men passed through without an
error or bad play of any sort, and while
the Clevelands have three errors credited to
them, they did not enter into the result OF
the game and all of Pittsburgs runs were
earned. ,.-
Beatin was hit often, but not especially
hard except in the eighth inning, when four
hits, one a double, was secured off him
and two runs were earned.
On the other hand, Bakers work
was as much of mystery to the Cleveland bat
ters at the close Of the game as at the start. He
had them completely at his mercy, and only
two hits were made during the game. and one
was really not a hit. In the last inning Mexican
hit to La Roque and be threw the Clevelander
out at first, but Catcher Zimmer blufed Um-
pire Dowse into giving the base.
Baker was well supported by Decker, and to
9m b sh0qS oa atessa Fl his
port there is no reason why Baker should not
become one of the foremost pitchers Of the
country.
Yesterday was the first game In which Pitcher
Baker received the proper support, and to say
that the boys were with him in that game
would be putting It mild. In the ontfield, Sun
day made two great running catches of high
flies that looked like safe hits. Kelly followed
it up with another great running catch, and
Miller cut of one base on DAVIS hit, which
would surely have been triple but for Mlllers
great work.
In the infeld, Roat, Crane and La Rogue We'd
with each other to see who would do the best
work, and Hecker made great capture OF
line hit from Gilks' bat.
The Clevelands also did great field work, and
hard running catches of fly balls were numer-

the victory was clinched NO more runs were
scored. r. -
Umpire McDermott did not appear on the
grounds, SO Wilson, Of the local team, and
Dowse, of the Clevelands, oficiated. Both
men were off on balls and strikes. but were
honest in their decisions. The decision of
Dowse st first was the only bad break and Zim-
mer was really the umpire IN that case. At

THAT AFRICAN AGREEMENT.
Various Views Expressed EdItorinlly By the
Europe1n Newspapers.


BERLIN, June 1S.-The Deutseh TdgebIdn,
commenting on the East African agreement.
says it could not have believed that Germany
would relinquish its claim to such a vast ter
ritory.
The Berlin Post thinks the Government has
only renounceh claims of doubtful nature.
1t says: The principal point of the agreement
is that the respective possessions of England
and Germany are now clearly defined"
The Fretstnnt0e Zettung regards the Anglo
German agreement as recognition of En-
glands preponderance in Africa, to the detri-
ment of German interests.
The FremndeblGtt and other Austrian papers,
and the Riformd, of Rome, comment upon the
fairness of the agreement and upon its re-
moving the causes of friction between England
and Germany and therefore tending to peace.
The Paris Temps says: Lord Salisbury has
carried his desire to please Germany to the
utmost limits. When we think of all the glor-
ious memories connecting equatorial africa
with the history of English explorers, and
when we consider how recent are Germany's
claims there and the danger of cutting in two
English possessions, we can only conclude that
Lord Salisbury has very powerful reasons for
making such large concessions. We vainly
seek to discover what secret concessions Ger
many has made which could explain Lord
Salisbury's generosity.

deck for inspection. Marvin gave the illy an
easy mile about o'clock and an hour later
brought her out again. She was logged the re-
verse way of the track, taken back Of the half
mile post and headed home.
The first quarter was an easy one, but at the
three-Quarter pole Marvin gave Sunol her head.
She came SO smooth. close down to the ground
like greyhound, and with such frictionless
gait that few supposed it would be very fast
quarter. Faster and faster she came around
the turn, and in a breath almost she had done
the quarter in 81 l-5 seconds, or at the rate Of
2:04 As for the mile. Nine watches caught the
time, and all agreed precisely. There was sup
pressed excitement the small group Of spec
tators, but there was a CLEAN of joy in Mr..
Bonner's face that could not well be hidden.
