BASE BAL

The game of ball beiweaH the Lam
caster Greys and the Babies an an
pe!lAtiOn bestowed on them by the en-
thusiastic spectators. was as prettilv
played snd undoubtedly as void of
errors as amateur games usually are
Great interest was manifested in the
games from the very first, when the
Babies took their outs, md retired the
big fellows in the one, two. three order
until Captain Bill Spaight made the
last hit for the Grey's, in the first half
OF the ninth in-.Sg and was caught at
first. which settled the game in favor
of the Babies by a score of 81 10 Is.
The Babies played a winning game
from the very start, giving their OPP
ponents five ciphers in a consecutive
order, after the second inning. The
effective playing of Roy rockingham,
TOR the Babies was the feature of the
game. Pitcher Frank Turner. was also
very effective, striking out nine men dur
ing the game. rne Grey' playing was
a featureless game up to the last of the
seventh. when they rallied and pounded
out nine runs in the eighth and ninth.
But the Babies were too far in the lead
to be overcome, at so late a stage in
the game and the big fellows had to
accept the inevitable, which they did in
a very graceful manner. purse of
$40 SO made up by the spectators was
given to the winners. The score:

The Senate and House IN Brief.

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-Yesterday in
the senate was occupied in discussing the
relations of the Pacific railroads to the
United States. The house provision that
no part of the appropriation for the-trans-
portation of troops or supplies in the army
bill should be paid for services rendered
over any of the nonbonded lines owned,
controlled or operated by the Union Pa
cific Railway company, or by the Southern
Pacific company, was stricken out and the
bill as thus amended passed.
The diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bill was further considered in the
house. After two hours general debate
the bill was considered by sections, but
little progress being made, and roll call
disclosing no quorum present, the COM
mittee arose and the house adjourned.
Absentees were all said to be at the base

Time the rear oI 1ea1ft Nt.t. Il
seething flames which shot high into the
air.
Destruction of The Times Building.
Directly in the rear of the Central
theatre and fronting on Sansom street was
the eight-story Times annex, separated
from the theatre only by few feet of
space. As the flames shot up they licked
the wall and burst through the windows,
and that, too, was doomed. When the
alarm was given the whole force of The
Time, was at work. The compositors were
at work on the top floor and the editorial
and city staff on the seventh floor. Ample
time was afforded for escape, and the em-
ployes had no trouble in leaving the build
ing in safety. The Times editorial rooms
were elegantly fitted up and a valuable
library occupied q section of the floor Ev-
erything was eaten up by the fire, which,
while 1t made very slow progress in The
Times builping, was no less effective.
Wanamaker's Store Scorched.
The flames spread to Poulson's restau-
rant, which adjoined the theatre, and the
roofs of the stores on Eighth street also
caught. For time it looked as if the
whole square would go. Sansom street is
narrow and from the burning Times office
the flames swept across and set fire TO the
store of S. NJ. Wanamaker & Co., which
fronts on Chestnut street The flames in
Wanamaker's were, however, kept from
spreading and were finally extinguished,
but not until considerable damage had
been done. The Times annex, however,
could not be saved, and by IL o'clock was a
mass of ruins, the front wall having tum-
bled into SAMSON street. The stores and
dwellings across from the annex, of which
there are a number, were also badly
damaged by smoke and water and in some
instances by fire.
Looking for Friends and Relatives.
At the hospital where the injured were
taken crowds hung around the gates and
sought for information of friends or rela-
tiveswho were supposed to have been in
the theatre when the fire broke out, while
the streets in the vicinity of the burning
buildings were crowded with people, the
excitement being intense until long after
midnight,

PANIC IN THE AUDIENCE,

Frantic Struggle of the People in Front
for Their Lives.
@Firep resounded on every side. and
there was a rush for the doors. Men,
women and boys were borne down and
crushed to the floor in the fight to reach
safety. In the top gallery the rush was
the worst, as the staircase leading to the
street was narrow and tortuous. At the
Walnut street front were improved fire
escapes and hundreds reached the street
by them. Hundreds more were, however.
trampled under foot, crushed and bruised
into insensibility and left lying in the
burning theatre. The force Of officers on
the spot worked like beavers, and an
alarm had been quickly followed by a sec
ond. The police and firemen began work
at once and brought out those who had
been injured and left to perish.
Rush Down the Fire Escapes.
In the @Devi's Auction" company were
forty people, eighteen men and twenty
two women. The manager of the company
reports that all are accounted for, some
are, however, badly bruised. and all lost
their street clothing and valuables. The
rush down the fire escapes was thrilling.
Like rats the men and boys of the gal
leries rolled and tumbled down, with an
occasional clutch at rod or support to
stay their flight. Many fell with few
pauses in their journey and landed on the
sidewalk with broken limbs and other in
juries. 1t is miraculous that no one was
killed.
About $50 Severely Injured.
Many were found to be but slightly in
jured and took care of themselves as best
they could, for there were too many who
needed medical aid at once to be provided
for. Ambulances from the jefferson.
