DISAPPOINTED CRANKS.

Rain Prevents the Opening Of tho Baseball
Season Here-A Great Gathering OF
Enthuslasts-An the Hotels Crowded
Recollections Of Calvin.
There was any quantity of weather yes
terday, but no ball game and the actions
of Dame Nature was an awful COM
mentary on her opinion of the national
game. It was all tears until nearly 6 o'clock
when it was too late to commence and then
she smiled until dark. In spite Of
this the city was crowded yesterday
with baseball cranks from all
over Western Pennsylvania and Eastern
Ohio. They were cranks especially on the
opening game, and would sooner miss
church for whole year than miss an open
ing game. In hotel corridors the ever
present drummer was crowded out while
the lovers of the sphere told "reminiscences
of how Calvin "slugged her over the fence
ond TO third. The local cranks were wild
IS usual, and if 1t had not rained at least
10, 600 people would have witnessed the
opening game.
R. P. Kennedy, of Uniontown, was one
of the prominent baseball visitors. He is
at the Schlosser. Fifteen years ago he
stopped here on his way from college and
had seen Pittsburg's own Jimmy lift the
ball over the fence. As he watched the
ball the fever struck him, and it has never
left him. With him Christmas is Sunday
school picnic compared with the opening
game, and he has not missed one since then.
He said yesterday he would stay here for a
week but what he would see the opening.
During the early part of the day there were
showers every few minutes, and messages
as to the condition of the field at Exposition
Park were watched as anxiously as bulletins
from national convention, and the hearers
were as nervous as though the fate of the
country hung on the result. At
noon the parade that was to form
the triumphal march toward the pen
nant began to form on Seventh avenue.
There were number of open carriages for
the clubs and officials, followed by 700
newsboys dressed in tin horns and healthy
voices. Then came pouring rain and the
opening had to be POSTPONED until to-day.
Chief of Police Robert McNichols, Of
Wheeling, and his lieutenant, George W.
Gaus, were also among the disappointed
sports

PAINTING THE TOWN.
Two Young Men Whose Career Was Sud-
denly Cut Short.

Two Young Men Whose Career Was Sud-
denly Cut Short.
Charles A. Crow and George Simmons,
we'll dressed and rather good-looking young
men, were arrested last night and locked up
in the Central station, charged with being
suspicious characters, by Detectives Fitz-
gerald and McT1ghe. 1t is alleged that the
prisoners are in the city for the purpose of
working a confidence game. Their scheme
is in the china painting or ivory type line,
and they were on their way to good bust
ness when the officers landed them.
The men were located at the Fourth Avenue
Hotel and had advertised for people desir-
GUS of making from s. to IS per day in their
own homes. This bait was easily taken by
women who called on tho prisoners and
were first charged 81 for an outfit, So for the
lessons and then the firm guaranteed to get
them enough work so that S. per day could
easily be made. Just how many victims
were secured is hard matter to say; the
hotel people state their place was fairly be-
sieged all day.
Both men gave their homes at Cleveland,
o. Crow said he mad no regular occupa
tion and Simmons registered as butcher.

Goes Throuyh-Giving tho Auditors .
Chance. j-.. -s.---. -. -.--
Councilman O'Donnell's resolution for
expert auditors was turned down by the
Finance Committee yesterday and Presi-
dent Holidays ordinance, creating joint
standing auditing committee was favorably
acted upon. The Finance Committee met
to organize and W. A. Magee was for the
fourth time reelected Chairman. He was
not present and President Ford presided
The audit bills were taken up first Mr..
Holidays ordinance was given the right of
way, but was amended by Mr.. MacGonigle's
motion by striking out the words limiting
the audit to 1888. ...5
In support of his amendment Mr.. Mac
Gonigle said: "The only defect l see in
Is passed in that form it will look as if
Councils desired to cover up something that
might have transpired prior to 1888 I
don't believe there is any such disposition.
Leave the committee unrestricted as to the
time they may 60 back, and if they find
necessary to run back to 1880, or for that
matter to 1870, there will be nothing to pre-
vent it."
Mr.. King seconded the motion, saying:
"The auditors may find an Item in the
accounts which they will have to trace back
several years earlier than 1888. If this
amendment is not adopted they will not
feel it incumbent upon them to do so and
the audit therefore may be worthless when
done" 49,.
There was no dissent and the amendment
prevailed Mr. O'Donnell's resolution
was negatived without discussion. '

Weighmasters Being Sworn in by the Mayor
and Filing Bonds.
Several city weighmasters called at Con-
troller Morrow's Office yesterday, and fled
their bonds as Mayor Gourley ordered the
day before. Many more are expected to-
day. 1t is not known how many persons
are deputized as weighmasters in the city.
Every coal dealer has commission, but
how many other than coal dealers is ques-
tion. The Ordinance Officer says there
must be several hundred, but the accurate
number will not be known until the bonds
are all filed.
In addition to fling bonds weighmasters
must be sworn in by the Mayor. In his an
nouncement calling attention to the law on
this subject Wednesday, the Mayor mad
vertently neglected to say anything about
this feature of it, but he says he will insist
on the enforcement Of it, and all who act as
weighmasters must not only file bonds
but must swear to faithfully perform their
duties.

&C. o. d. I expect he will be compelled

is what I shipped him. One barrel of new
potatoes, one half bushel OF sweet peas, a
box of oranges, four turkeys, four pairs of
snipe, eight ducks, box of lettuce, pack
age of new onions and bushel of nuts I
concluded that anything else he may need
for the dinner he can buy at home OF

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
Ts the Argument OF tho Opponents Of the
Garbage Ordinance

Il the Argument OF the Opponents OF the
Garbage Ordinance.
The ordinance authorizing R. B. Brown,
w. A. Hoevler and c. Trautman to gather
all the garbage in the city and convey it to
Brunot's Island in fatboats seems to have
opposition Chief Brown objects to it be-
cause, in return for all the privileges it
grants, no provision for any return to the
city is made. He thinks i. should require
the company to place sufficient wagons in
service to haul all the garbage in the city
to its own boats, and it should guarantee to
haul the municipal garbage, street clean
ings, etc, free of cost.
The Chief conferred with Mayor Gourley
on the matter yesterday, and the Mayor
has asked for the ordinance to give it his
consideration to-day.

Chief Bigelow viii Take Action.

Chief Bigelow was asked last evening
what he proposed to do with the list pre-
sented to him, and replied:
will look the matter ND tomorrow. and,
II the ordinance is still in force, as believe
it Is, Will lend my assistance to stopping
the smoke nuisance on the railroads. 1t will
be easy to do under that ordinance, for
every violation will cost $50. which the city
will get if it is levied. There is no doubt of
the city's right to enforce such a law, for the
Supreme Court has several times decided
that the regulation of the running of rail-
road trains within city's limits is matter
of police regulation which any city can
govern. l will look the matter up to-
morrow.
Mrs. John NJ. Oakley, Secretary of the
Ladies' Health Protective Association, saws
the ladies are sanguine of having the smoke
nuisance stopped on all the railroads in the
two cities. A list similar to that presented
to Chief Bigelow is being prepared for the
lines going through Allegheny, and will be
presented to the proper official in that city
as soon as it is completed. She continued:
We do not desire to be arbitrary, but the
smoke is nuisance, and the city lawmakers
recognizing it as such, years ago passed
laws to suppress it. The laws never have
been obcyed as they should be. Several
times the Allegheny officials have been
forced by popular clamor to compel their
enforcement, but only for n few months ut a
time. However, the proof furnished by the
tne Alle@neEy lines anu the junction kali
road shows that 1t is not unreasonable to
expect the railroad companies to obey this
law. Our attorney has looked up the law
carefully and assures us that the ordinance
we are proceeding under will hold.
A fragrant Tiolator of the Law.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is one of the
most fragrant violators of the law, yet every
day they illustrate, by running smoke
less locomotives on Liberty street, that
It is possible to obey the law. If you
observe YOU will see that the engines mov-
ing on Liberty street below Union station
always burn coke, and in consequence never
make any smoke.
The smoke caused by the railroads is
something wonderful. One locomotive
burning bituIuinous coal will make AS much
smoke almost as a blast furnace. We don't

city yesterday on business trip. Upon
arriving at his hotel he was very much sur
prised to find awaiting him telegram from
friend to the effect that he was on GER

meet him here.
''What mystifes me-" said Mr.. Fedder,
''is that was on the same train, and did
not see my friend either en- route or at the
station. He must have missed the train
when he got off to send me the message.
However, guess he will turn up, and we
will investigate as to which one is TO blame
for not discovering the others presence on
the train
