When Brown-Seguard. the eminent
French scientist, announced to the world
his discovery that life could be prolonged
and old age made as vigorous as youth by
means of certain elixir. there was tre-
mendouS sensation. Old men and old
women rushed to their physicians and asked
to be made young again, and thousands of
doctors who went into the elixir business
gathered in the shckels.
But DR. George f. Shrady, of this city,
prIcked the bubble by carefully prepared
editorial for the Medical Record, of which he
is editor. His views were printed in nearly
every newspaper in the country and in
many foreign papers. Brown-Sequard's
elixir dropped ont of sight even more sud
denly than ii appeared.
The next great medical sensation was DIR.
Koch's lymph. Consumptives and persons
afflicted with phthisis and lupus crowded the
hospitals begging for treatment Pilgrims
from all over the world focked to Berlin.
Again did DR.. Shrady come out in no mis-
taken terms and declared the lymph not

YESTERDAYS ASSOCIATION GAMES.
| Columbus. .......... ST. Louis. .......... g
The heroes of Cincinnati arrived in the
city yesterday, and they are in good trim to
| tackle the troublesome fellows from Boston
| this afternoon. 1t is needless to say that
the local players came home, after their three
good victories, in very high spirits and
! they felt extremely hopeful of doing even
greater things before the season is out.
They have some very dangerous people to
tackle to-da ', in fact the most dangerous
they have met this season judging from the
records so far this season. No matter how
strong the desire of the Bostons may have
| been in the past to win ga mes they will be
more anxious to win now, as they are as
piring for the pennant, and the race is
nearly at an end. From now on each de-
feat will have considerable effect on their
winning chances and not an effort will be
spared by the Bostons to down everybody
they meet.
Last evening during a conversation re.
garding the local team Manager McGunnigle
said: "The boys are playing in very good
form now and I'll be surprised if we don't
beat Boston two out of the three games this
week. Our three victories at Cincinnati
have checred the team up considerably, but
it is only fair to say that luck was to some
extent on our side. We were favored just
as other teams have been favored against us
during almost the entire season. There
were many stages in the Cincinnati games
where il luck had not favored us we would
have been beaten. But every member of
| the team played extremely well and all that
/ desire is for them to continue playing the
same kind of ball from now on. One thing
l wish to state, is this: "They told me yester-
day that they don't mean to allow any
dssensions to be created among them and
that they are going to play in harmony.
This is very satisfactory and it is a true
statement.
"Our new man, Wards, is here, and hear
good accounts of him. l may play him to-
| morrow and may not. The team are play
| ing winning ball at present, and it might be
unwtse to make any changes 1 am well sat
istied with Ially so far, and l think he will
improve eacn game. Our pitchers are in fine
fettle and know of no players in the coun-
try more anxious to win than they are. De-
pend upon it, we have a good team in Pitts
burg, and will be sadly mistaken If that
fact is not admitted by all before this season
is out
The Bostons are also here, and it is likely
that "Kid" will be in the box for them to-
day, with Bennett as his catcher. Baldwin
and Miller will be the homo battery.

1t Was Caused by the Crew of One Train
Forgetting It Was Sunday.
WEST NEWTON, Aug. 23.-The Sunday ex-
press on the Pittsburg, Mckeesport and
foughioghney Railroad consisting of an
engine, mail car and three day coaches, col
lided with heavy coke train on Layton's
curve ID miles above here, this morning at
1880. Harry Stern. brakeman on the passen-
ger train, had his right arm crushed. Mrs.
Redden, wife of Foreman Redden, of Char
tiers roundhouse, had lip badly cut and teeth
Knocked out. Conductor Gildroy and Bag
ga; en1ster McGreggor were slightly bruised
by Ju nping over the embankment. 1t is al
most miraculous that anyone of the crew
escaped al1ve.a as the passenger train was
running 40 miles an hour.
When Engineer Skeen discovered the coke
train dash1ng into view, around the bluff 100
yards away he applied the air, reversed his
engine and followed his fireman in jumping
down the steep embankment. The two
monster engines came together with a crash
that was heard five miles away, completely
demolishing both engines. The tank of the
express engine telescoped the combination
baggage ana mailer. Baggagemaster Nc
Greggor heard the air applied and jumped
out the door of the car over the embank-
ment just as the tank came crashing through
his car. One moments hesitation on his
part and he would have met horrible fate.
The 800 passengers were more or less shaken
up by the collision, and after they had all
gathered on the hillside and ascertained no

Is run on Sunday two hours in advance of
the regular week day schedule and the coke
crew forgot it was Sunday.

ELIAS HATFIELD INTERVIEWED.
All Reports of the Mccoy Feuds for Two
Years Past Pure Fakes,

Years Past Pure Fakes.
MoUNDsvnLE, W. Va, Aug. 23.-The motor
ious Elias Hatfield, whose name has been
connected time and again with the famous
Hatfield Mccoy feud, was in this city yester-
day on a pacific errand. He had boon
sworn in by Sheriff Chaplin, of Logan county,
to assist him in bringing James Brewer to
the pcnitentiary here. The prisoner had
murdered his cousin and was considered O
desperate character.
Hatfield was interviewed regarding his
numerous fights with the McCoys, and
laughed ut the first question. He said to his
certain knowledge the Hatfields and Nc
Coys had not seen each other for the past
two years, and during that time had not
been within % miles of each other. He said
they had some trouble several years ago,
when some shooting had been done, but they
had decided to stop fighting. They drew
apart for the sake or harmony, Elias leaving
his little farm on the border and moving to
Logan c. H., where he now resides. Hat
field said, however, he expected to hear
every day of either Phillips or Woodford
shooting each other. He said over in Pike
county, Ky, Phillips had raised n row with
Elijah Woodford, and the latter killed
French, OF the Phillips crowd, and badly
used up Phillips himself This fight is
still on, and if they have not killed each
other, they are likely to do so at any time
Hatfield is a tall, handsome fellow, with q
clear bright eye and the reverse of what ne
has been pictured. In conclusion, he said
he had been obliged to do some killing in
his life, but hoped that it was all over with.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS.
Some Great Games to Take Place Here in
the Fall.

So"o 1Tcnt VdInes 10 lake flaCe here III
the Fall.
The football season is rapidly approaching
and there is every prospect of busy time,
If present intentions are carried out Pitts
burgers will see more football contests this
fall and winter than during any previous
season. Both styles of football playing, viz.
the Association and Rugby, will be well
represented, and it is almost certain that
league of Association clubs will be organized.
The patrons of the Association rules are
extremely enthusiastic, and they can muster
a large number of teams in Western Penn
sylvania and Eastern Ohio. Plttsburg, Allie
gheDg, East Liberty, McKeesport, Braddock,
Mcdonald Station, Shaher, Youngstown,
New Castle and East Liverpool each want to
have n team in the proposed league. 1t is
not likely that all can be represented in a
league, but a meeting will be held shortly to
determine the matter. At any rate, playing
will be commenced much sooner this year
than it was last year.
The followers of the Rugby rules intend to
be just as active as anybody else, and it is
likely that the English team who intend to
visit this city in the fall will play a game
here against the team of the Allegheny
Athletic Association. The latter orguniza-
tion means to have some great contests here,
and as result some of the best amateur
teams in the country will visit the city.

Club vacating the Bean City.
NEW YORK, Aug. e3-It can now be an
nounced positively that the war between the
National League and the American Associa-
tion is thing of the past. The new order
of things will be a great benefit to baseball
all over the country. The evacuation of
Cincinnati by the Association was only the
beginning of the concessions for peace The
next move will be the disposal of the Asso-
citation Club of Boston. The rival club in
that city will either be bought out by the
League or the team will be moved to some
other town.
The fine Italian hand Of A. G. Spalding is
shown conspicuously in the new deal for
peace. John T. Brush and Won der Abe, of
st. Louis, to whom the success of the Asso-
citation means so much. are interested Each
faction has appointed a committee and they
will meet in Washington on Tuesday next.
A. G. Sralding or his agent. John T. Brush
and C. Fl. Byrne, will represent the League,
and G. Won der Abe, President Louis Kramer
and Zach" Phelps the American Associa-
tion. 1t is highly probable, however, that
general meeting may be held at which about
all the club owners of the League and the
Association will be present.

THE Bachelor is tied up at the wharf. A new
shaft has been ordered and will he fitted on as

there being no work for them at any point.

A BURGLARS WARM RECEPTION.
He Had Terrific Fight With the Occupants
of a Wheeling House!


WHEELING, Aug 23.-One of the most des-
perate encounters with n burglar known
here for years, occurred at the residence of
Charles Craddock, at $50 this morning Mr.
Craddock's son was awakened by noise in
the hall, and on going out was confronted by
a man with leveled revolver in his hand
Young Craddock grappled with the robber
and the two struggling men fell over the
banister and down the stairs.
During the struggle the senior Mr.. Grad
dock was awakened and came to the rescue
of his son, and the three men fought indis-
criminately in the dark, smuggling each 9th er
right and left, and the robber firing two
shots, without any serious damage being
done. When the burglar got loose he
knocked down Mrs. Craddock, snapped his
revolver three times and then made his es-
cape through window amid the pistol
shots of some of the neighbors who had
been attracted to the scene.
