THE SECRET SOCIETIES.
KNIGHTS TEMPLARs.

On Monday night the trusty Warden

his Understanding horn for the assem-
bling Of gallant knights and noble war
riors to prepare themselves for warfare,
as news had been spread about our en-
trenchments that an enemy was about
to surprise and attack It's battlements.
The war alarm brought forth fine bat
talon of warriors, not only from Com
pany No. l, but also from No. Z, for all
were alike interested and attended the
battle cry and came to their strong
hold fully equipped with a good
trusty sword unsheathed ready to
meet the intruders who dared to invade
the Knights solemn retreat. The Red
Cross Knichts fought the first battle
with the enemy and they came out
more than conquerors, and 1t proved
for them a complete victory. They
captured every one, yea two, of the
enemy, who, after being in durance
vile for time, were, by the kind favors
Of the noble Captain Of the Guard, given

CHICAGO, October 3.-Anson and his

the work OF the Eastern clubs, claiming
the race to be simply a hippOdrome.

Pittshnrc In the Dumps.

The ball season of 1881, the most dis
amounting one ever encountered ey
Pittsburg, closed yesterday. Ihere Is
very marked contrast between the open
ING and closing Of the season in this 10
calitv. When the club started out II
carried with 10 the brightest hopes OF
ira Datrops. who watched it with honest
pride and with an ardor aud In sucn
numbers that made this city the most
enthusiastic and paying In the League
circuit. The turn-stileS spun around IN
cessantly, and had very little time 70
freak. or IL they did complain their
growIs were drowned by the Joyous
laughter OF the eager crowds. But from
the ODening day 10 the closing the CLUB
insisted on plodding along over rocky
and barren road, dragging the puollc's
bright hopes in the dust. This dis
qDsted the majority Of It's followers VINO
-,-rned back disguised, and let the club
90 on to destruction, which 1t speedily
did.
Before the end Of May the Pittsburgs
had gone up and down the ladder with
tsntalizing jumps. On the 2lSt OF tnat
month they were in the second place,
with a percentage OF Of 500 the highest
nnint and position Of the season. Then
rame the disastrous first Eastern trlS,
n, which they won but three games and
lost 13. They returned home In seventh
tloce, with a percentage OF 200. Inc
irons were inclined 10 excuse the BAD
.ord because the infeld, weak from
..e start. was made weaker by the so-
800 .s piarbauer, who -SgaGspot Wltp
left q hole in tho Outielj, which was not
filed for weeks. Shugart's acquisition
9 little later, although IL strengthened
the infeld, did not stop the downward
march Of the team, and by August l il
had dropped to the bottom OF the pile In
eighth place, with a percentage Of .407.
Ed. HanlOn was now depOsei from the
managership. The attempt TO make a
scrapegoat Of him did not succeed with
the public. He had been hampered by
the president of the club, who insisted
on interfering in the management Of the
Team, remitting fines that had been i'm
posed and even ordering the manage
ment 10 take a back seat. Such conduct
of course was not conductive to good
discipline, and this in addition TO the
crippled condition OF the team was the
cause Of its poor work Under Hanlon's
management the club won Al games and
lost AZ.
McGunnigle was engaged and at once
set to work in his own way TO bring the
team up. COrkhlll add Lally were sec
ured tor the outfeld, Carroll was
dumped and Miller placed behind the
bat. Stronger than ever at every point,
with the pitchers in fine form, the team
could not leave eighth place until Au-
gust 26, when, after winning FIVE out OF
six games, defeating the Cincinnatls
three times in succession, IL captured
seventh place and has not gone lower
since. Balwin now began his record OF
II straight victories the team made a
gallant fight In the East and swung it.
self into fifth position. Then IL again
fell back most disastrously. Its down
fall was as sudden and unexpected as
its brilliant squirt I'm the East After
winning nine out OF II games itstOpped
short and won but two out Of It, drop
ping to within few points Of last
place.

AMONG THE MILLS.
HAPPENINGS OF fHE wIKK IN INDUSTRIAL
EIELDS
Condition Of the General Glass Trads-Ninor Notes
Cleaned in the Busy Workshops in
Wheeling and Vicinity.

The local industrial situation may be
said to be unchanged since last week.
Everything is moving along satisfac-
torily in the various lines, and the gen.
eral prospect for the fall trade is very
fair. The hot weather has interfered
somewhat with workmen in the various
factories, causing a smaller output Of
tonnage in consequence.
~
Speaking of the general glass situa-
ton, the Budget this week says:
1.-THE glass situation Is rather more
hopeful than last week, although in
euiries and movements Of window glass
is rather slow. Plate glass, like win
dow glass has been dull, but with build
ing operations, retarded by early spring
strikes the outlook is that both plate
and window glass will, inside of thirty
days be in active demand. There will
not be window glass enough on the mar
ket sufficient to cut any figure before
November 1st. Several manufacturers
will resume this week, but assortments
of stocks are so badly broken that it
will take thirty days to have sufficient
accumulated to ill the demand FOR pop
ular sizes needed. Stocks OF window
glass are not near so great as at this
period last year."
