THE Bostons are making runaway race
of it.
The twelve city circuit has already proven
Q success
VAN HALTREN, of Baltimore, leads the
League batsmen.
THE Louisvilles are only shadow of their
former greatness.
CoRKHnL, of Pittsburg, never played az
well as this season.
HALLIGAN, released by Cincinnati, has
been signed by Baltimore.
CHAMBERLAIN, of Cincinnati, is the cool
est pitcher in the profession.
RUsIE, of New York. is not pitching the
same kind OF ball as last season.
THE Bostons have won more games by one
run this season than any other team in this
country.
KEEFE's work, SO far, for the Philadel.
phlas shows him to be anything but a played
out pitcher.
THE Chicagos miss Pfeffer, of Louisville,
very much. Caravan does not fill his shoes
by several sizes.
MORE trouble with umpires has occurred
in Cincinnati than in any other city in the
League circuits.
Boston and Brooklyn are the only
teams which have not up to date released
one or more players.
THE Mayor of Toledo. Ohio, has come out
in favor of Sunday baseball, on the ground
that it will tend to keep men away from the
saloons.
WARD, of Brooklyn, is playing as well,
if not better, than when he was with the
New Yorks. His base running in particular
is very fast.
LEFT-HANDED pitchers are no more of
terror to Brouthers of Brooklyn, than
right-handed ones He slugs them all with
delightful consistency
EVERY city is supporting it's local team
admirably, and financially the returns ex-
coed any previous year in the history of
professional ball playing.
~ The young women at the Bryn Mawr
(Penn.) College have organized two baseball
mines. but have decided to play only with
the Vassar nine and against each other.
IT will be noticed that fully eighty per
cent. of the games this season are won and
lost by a single run. The batting is small
ridiculously SO, and a home run is rare.
Have the pitchers, knowing that releases
mean retirement, braced up and improved
wonderfully, or have the heavy hitters lost
the cunning of their eagle eyes?
SHOULD the Bostons win She first cham
plonshlp they'll have warm season in the
second half. Every one of the other eleven
clubs will ''lay for Them" will save up their
best batteries and take most desperate
chances to win from them. Such has always
been the fate of a champion team. There is
a long, weary, trying summer before the
Boston team.
THE game of baseball which was played
at Eastern Park, Brooklyn. for the benefit
of the widow of the late Hub" Collins was
a success in every way. Over $4,000 was re-
allied. The competing teams were the
Brooklyns and the st. Louis the latter nine
being made up of those who had at one time
played under Won der Ahe's banner. The
Bridegrooms were defeated by score of six
to one.

signal for storm of cheers The most skill
ful bit was his allusion to the great names
of the party-Lincoln, Seward, Grant, Sher-

paused after each name, and gave the con-

pause a little longer than the rest he rap
idly calculated, Harrison and Biaine," and
raising his finger as signal, the entire con-
vention rose in one grand, swelling chorus Of
cheers for the rival candidates.
Almost equal to the ovation to Harrison

They Killed Three Guards and Tried
to Batter Down the Gates.

In the Valencia SPAIN prison 274 con-
victs revolted as they were being marched
to dinner. They overpowered the guards,
killed three of them, and put the rest to

been warned by the fleeing guards, how
ever, and had left the prison.
The convicts got two beams aud were
pounding at the outer gates of the prison
when the military arrived. General Salcedo.
commander of the garrison, shouted to the
convicts to desist, at the same time threat
ening to cannonade the gates in case they
refused. During the parleying General Sal
cedo mounted the wall Of the prison and
explained to the convicts the imposSibiiity
of escape. The convicts eventually con-
sented to submit. The military was marched
into the prison and the convicts were taken
back te their quarters. The ringIeaders

space rallied off for the delegates are sec
tons of seats for spectators stretching back
to the entrance, ami above are tiers of gal

About the pillars which uphold the root, half

Directly opposite the Chairman's platform,

DlPHTnERlA IN HARRISON.
Six Malignant Cases in a Single Tene
ment House.

Six Malignant Cases in a Single Tene-
ment House.
Diphtheria has broken out in Harrison
and already six cases of the disease of the
malignant type have been discovered in
the tenement houses at Nos. 2l2 and 2l4
Warren street.
A few days ago a child was taken sick
in the house. Nothing was done further
than to apply some simple remedies. The
child grew worse and other children were
seized with the same symptoms. ALI the
children continued to grow worse until
yesterday, when DR.. Crane, of Newark,
was summoned. AS soon as he saw the
patients he pronounced the disease to be
d%iptheria, and did what he could.
Dr.. Cruue Immediately notified the
Hudson County Board of Health and
Health Inspector C~allaghau, of Harri-
son that diphthtria had appeared in the
town and added that unless prompt
measures were taken an epidemic might
be the re-ult.
The Health Inspector visited the house
and posted notices to prevent persons
from entefing the house ard ordered the
q to keep isolated.
The childred living in the house have
gone about with other children, and
.neighbors have been in and out oil the
sick rooms to see the patients. and it is
In. possible to tell how far the germs of
the disease may have spread.
Another bad feature is the fact that the
houses are near made ground in the dis
trict populated 10y The Italians. Little or
tary condition of that portion of the
town, and garbage and refuse of all
kinds have been dumped all about the
vacant lots in the vicinity.

forE., should absent himself when

clared vacant, were being Immediately
filled. He repeated the statement of Mr..
Ellis that there was 40 money to pay
Maxwell, and insisted upon knowing
from what source money was to be OBJ
I. ined to pay Corcoran.
