AFTER THE BATTLE
Slavin's Excuse for Being Beaten and His
Future Intentions Declared.

slavin's Excuse for B~ing Beaten and His
Future Intentions Declared.
NEW YORK, June 1.-Invariably after big
pugilistic contest the 81 told you SO" sports
are always around in great numbers. Not
withstanding the fact that Slavin was red
hot favorite over jackson, it is difficult TO
find any followers of ring affairs who dld
not predict Peters victory, or did not nave
a vivid dream Of the white man Deing de-
feated by a negro. The fact remains, never
theless, that the talent was badly dumped,
1t is very easy now, that the fight is over,
for sporting men to figure out just why
jackson should have won and exactly why
Slavin had no chance for the money. But
these calculations are a trif1e late Slay1n's
excuse for his defeat is a poor one, for be-
fore the fight lie was described as being in
magnificent shape
A cable from London to O sporting paper
says: Slavfn attributes his defeat to a lack
of condition. He intends challenging jack
son again: denies his jaw was broken, and
states he was very weak after fighting hve
minutes. 1t will not be an easy matter for
the white Australian to get another match
with jackson, for it is doubtful if any club
such a contest. 1t is generally conceded
that the result of the big fight will have q
marked effect on the betting in the next big
battle. Jim Corbett's stock has naturally
taken big boom, and men who smiled at
the young Californian before now admit
that he IS mighty good man. 1t is claimed
by Jim Wakely and other Sullivan men that
CorDett'S followers assert that this KIND OF
an argument counts for nothing.

for Pudd !ers to Work.
MCKEEsPoRT, June L-[Speciai.! !-Court to-
day increased the bond of the Crescent Pipe
Line Company from $500 to 50, 900, and work
will now go on without any trouble. The 26
men arrested yesterday were arranged be-
fore Alderman Skelly to-day, and each were
fined s25 and costs. They were charged by
Theodore Wood, agent of the Brown Coal
Works, with trespass in laying the gas mains
o. the Crescent Pipe Line Company through
the Brown property at Salisbury, and the
entire gang of men were arrested. The pipe
line company, after the case was heard this
morning, agreed to pay the fines, but will
try to offect an agreement with the Browns
and try to run their lines through the prop
erty. Some time ago there was some trouble
similar to this, when they filed a bond in
court to the amount of $500 to secure the own
erS of property for any damage that might
be done. Harry Brown filed exceptions to
the bond, but the court did not approve OF
them and in the meantime the men proceeded
with the work. The matter will be settled
in the courts and meanwhile work will be
suspended.
1t was found to-day that the County AS
SCISSORS valuation of the city, on which the
school district tax is levied. will amount to
but $12, 756 SS5. 1t is thought that the valua-
tion would reach from $l8 0O0, 900 to $40 O00 co.,
At the assessors figures the taxation for
school purposes can be reduced from 81 to
mills.

The small storm Wednesday morning over
Southwestern Missouri has moved to the
northeast part of that State. 1t is within q
trough-like depression that extends from
the ST. Lawrence to the Lower Mississippi
valley. This trough and storm are between
two moderate high pressure waves, one over
the Atlantic, the other extending from Lake
Superior to Texas. The high temperature
that has continued east of the line joining
Toledo and New Orleans has resulted from
the strong soutnerly winds between the At
lantic high wave ana the Valley trough.
The most marked increase of warmth has
been in New England. The cooler air west
of this line is conditioned by the northerly
winds blowing into the low barometric
trough. These last mentioned conditions
will move eastward and reach portions of
the Atlantic States to-day.
The temperature will be nearly low enough
for frosts in the Upper Mississippi valley.
Thunder storms, high winds and notably
heavy rains are scattered from Louisiana to
the Lower Lakes. and in Illinois and Mis-
souri,. A barometric depression is moving
eastward from Montana, into which will
blow southerly winds and gradual return
of warm weather in the Rocky Mountain
slope. Signals are displayed on the Gulf
from Brownsville to New Orleans and on
Lakes Erie, st. Clair, Huron ana Michigan.
The rivers will rise.

THE STATE LEASUE.
Pittsburg's Representatives Put Up Great
Game and Defeat the Harrisbur.A

There was really a splendid ball game yes
terday afternoon at Exposition Park be-
tween the Pittsburg and Harrisburg teams.
The contest was remarkably close right up
to the finish and only two unfortunate
errors in the ninth inning by Goodhart, the
Harrisburg catcher, allowed the home play
ers to win. The two errors were RESPONSE
BILE for three runs. One mistake
was mufTed throw ut the home plate to
head off Il run and the other a wild throw to
third. The second error enabled two men to
score.
There was some brilliant fielding during
the game and the pitching was thoroughly
good on both sides. In the eighth inning
Drauby made a home run which looked like
the winning run.
The Pittsburgers fielded without an error
and their fine playing gained the victory.
Altogether the contest was one that all
patrons of the national game would enjoy;
indeed, very seldom is there any finer play
ing seeu than that of yesterday by the two
teams in question. Tie attendance yester-
day was good. The same teams will play
again to-day. The score:
