MINOR GATHERINGS In THREE STATES

SHENANDOAH, Pa, May 23.-An at
tempt at arson was made at this place last
evening, when plans were laid to burn the
property of J. NJ Robbins, West Center
and Jordan streets. The buildings in this
vicinity are all frame, three stories high,
and had the plotter succeeded in his nefa-
rious work it might have resulted in repe-
tition of the awful calamity of 1883, when
half the town of Shenandoah was burned to
the ground.
Harry 7. Hall, photographer, occupied
the third floor of one of these buildings and
it was here the plot was to be put into
effect. Hall is said to be hard character
and to assist him in the scheme it is said he
had hired William Richter, of Syracuse, N.
Y, a photographer in his employ to do the
job, his object being to burn out the gallery
and secure the insurance. Hall purchased
some turpentine, excelsior and candle, and
arranged them SO that after burning an hour
the flame from the candle would, COM
municate to the turpentine, making blaze
enough to clean out the whole place before
the fire department could respond.
After giving instructions to Richter to
light the candle at 6 o'clock, Hall left for
parts unknown. When the hour arrived,
however, Richter's courage forsook him and
he Informed Mr.. Robbins, the landlord, of
the plot, who Immediately had Richter
placed under 81, 600 bail and then sent de-
tectives on the track of Hall. HI was finally
traced to Frackville, where he was captured
while calling on lady friend. He showed
fight but was secured. To-day he was COM
mitted to the county Jail without bail to
await trial,

runs PLAYED mischief with the colts. One
tied the game and the other won it. Both
misplavs were made on hard hits that be-
came easy grounders, and in each instance
the ball bounded from the hands of the
fielder, and while it was all going on two OF
the visitors touched the plate.
1t Was Greek against Greek
1t was Pittsburg against P:ttsburg in the
box. Both pitchers are Smoky Cityites.
Baldwin IN addition to being touched up
lively was wild in giving five men bases on
balls. The Burns crew did not hit the ball
often, but when they landed on it they
damned out its stuffing. Three of their
seven hits were phosphoresent doubles and
still another was a star-swirling triple.
Five of the slugs came in pretty punches
tied with ribbons. Yet only four of their
five runs were earned. The hits were i'm
partially divided between seven men.
Marcus Antony Baldwin came to the
post with slow, indolent ball that loitered
about the plate like boy on his way to
school. After Wilmot's out in the first
Dahlen Swiped q double into right and
Ryan hit safely into center, Dahlen scoring
and RYAN reaching second on the throw in.
Baldwin shot a wild one to Bierbauer and
RYAN trotted to third. RAYMOND threw
A8son's grounder high to Miller, and Ryan,
who had started for home, returned 10 the
sack in safety, scoring later on.
Mark Was TT 1s Wild.
DUNCAN singled into right, RYAN was hit
by BALDWIN in the third and made the cir
cult on sacrifices by Ansou and DUNCAN
and Canayan's base crack. Gumbert hit in
the fourth, stole second, went to third on a
wild throw by Miller and tailed on Rvan's
single. That ended the run-making tor
the Chicagos
Miller was the first Pittsburger to make
hit 1t was two-master, but he perished
on second. Gumbert could not find the
plate in the fourth and Miller went to first
Then Bierbauer jumped on Gumbert Tor the
second hit of the game. Nothing less than
a double satisfied him. Shugart flew out to
C2navan. There was a crash like boiler
exploding Immediately after that, and be-
tore the din ceased Miller had lugged in the
blue and reds first run and Beckley was
blowing off steam on third having made q
three-bagger.
Old Dad FumbIed the Ball.
Next Elmer Smith caused the hearts of
the craEks to palpitate. He touched off a
wicked bounder that Anson ought to have
strangled, but Dad lost the ball, which
bounded ten feet in front of him, aud Beck
ley made the third goal OF the inning
Anson had reason to regret this muff in
the eighth, wnen Shugart singled and Beck
ley flew out to Canavan. Then that drea.i-
ful man Smith swooped upon the ball and
sent it waiing like banshee into right for
pair of sacks, on which Shugart tied the
score. Then TO the horror of local svmpa-
thizerS that youngster Dahlen gave a rene

and when he finally got the ball Smithy was
grinning on the visitors bench and the
