Is the Opening of Zanesville's New Indus
try, tho Tiling Works.
EVANSVILLE, o., April 19-[SpeciaL 1.-The
speech of Governor Mckinley at the open
ing of the tile works dealt with the pride
of the citizens of the county and of the State
in'the plant of the American Encausttc Thing
Works, which was opened to-day. The only
reference to politics or to protection was the
following:
This enterprise is only visible demonstration Of
what the American people can do. with pluck and
perseverance. II has come up through discourage
ments in its earlier history In made heavy dra fits
on the confidence and courage and coin Of its
founders. 1 can remember when it was thought
which would be marketable and merchantable. It
was said that neither the clay nor the climate
was suitable, that we must continue to 20 abroad
to supply our wants. These apostles Of discourage
ment have been forced to change their minds. and
the whole world knows that we can manufacture
this article in quantity and strength, equal in art
and beauty to that from any part OF the globe.
while through tine efforts of the domestic manufac-
turerers the price has been reduced to the domestic
consumer. and what few years ago was ex.
ceptional luxury has been placed within reach Of
the multitude.
The Mckinley Club, composed OF young
men who took an active part in the cam
paign last fall, called on the Governor and
presented him with a paper congratulating
him on his election. He thanked the young
men for the honor and for their aid. Their
spokesman expressed the hope that they
might aid him in the Presidential canvass
this fall, but the Governor only smiled and
shook his head in the negative.

undulating surface of the field and made it
as smooth and level as billiard table.
There will be q grand stand erected at

Two Refinery Stills Th.re Blown Up Within
rs Many Weeks.
FRANKLIN, April 19-[SpeciaL ]-To-day the
new still put up at Fasset refinery was
blown up by dynamite. Two weeks ago a
large still at the refinery Of Colonel L. H.
Fassett, In this city, was blown up, sup
posedly by the explosion of gas. A new
still was at once put up, and to-day was fired
for the first time.
Shortly after the fires were started the ex.
plosfon occurred; the still and much other
property was destroyed, and several work.
men narrowly escaped with their lives. An
Investigation shows that the explosion was
cahsed by dynamite, and was the result OF a
well-laid plan to destroy the refinery. The
refinery is in thicklv-settled part of the
city, and it is believed that some property
owners have taken the above method TO get
rid of what they consider q nuisance.

championship season, but Captain Pfeffel
would not take the chance. To-day, how
ever, it was decided to give him an oppor-
tunity and the Smoky City team know the
result. Jones is left-hander and he had
the visitors at his mercy from the first inn
ing. Two of the four hits were scratches.
Captain Pfeffer played a superb game at
second and his double play in the second
practically saved the game for Louisville.
A hard rain fell this morning, and then the
mercury took drop until it almost reached
the freezing point. 1t began raining in the
fifth inning, but the game proceeded.
Browns Big Hit for Two Bases.
Brown opened the contest by driving the
ball to left for two bases Pfeffer landed a
single in the same territory and Brown
went to third. While Pfeffer was stealing
second Brown left for home, but was caught
Seery was sent to his base on four bad balls
and Weaver sent each a base nearer home
on a sacrifice from second to first. Jen-
nings ended this inning on grounder to
short After Miller retired in Pittsburg's
half, Bierbauer hit to short and Jennings
threw wild to first. Bierbauer got second
and reached third on Corkhill's sacrifice.
Farrell, however, went out from home to
first. With one out in the subsequent inn
ing, kuehne hit to center for two bases and
went to third on Baldwin S tumble of Jones'
ball Jones begun Pittsburg's half by hit
ting Beckley. Then he threw Shugart's
grounder wild to first and Beckley contin-
ued around to third. 1t looked rather un-
favorable for Louisville at this point.
Shugart attempted to steal second and was
retired Smith struck out and Mack flied
to Tavlor. Louisville scored its first run in
the third. Pfeffer sent a long fly to right,
which Corkhill mis- Judged and it netted him
two bases.
And They Scored a Run.
Seerv sacrificed him to third. Weaver
was given his base on balls and Jennings
sent a hot one down the third base line
which Farrell could not reach and Pfeffer
scored The next two men were retired
In Pittsburg's half, after two men had been
disposed of, Bierbauer made the first hit of
the game and was forced to second on Cork
hills base on balls. Farrell hit fly just
back of second and Bierbauer scored from
second. There were two men on bases when
Beckley struck out. Captain Pfefer opened
the fifth with double to center, but the
three next batsmen were retired. There
was one out in the sixth when Beckley
made a scratch double to right and took
third on Jennings tumble of Shugart's
grounder. Smith hit to Pfeffer, and the
latter touched Shugart and threw to first in
time to retire Smith. Two men had been
retired in the last inning when Pfeffer hit
over second for single Seery then drove
the sphere down the right field foul line for
two bases and Pfeffer brought in what
proved to be the winning run. Seery
was run down between second and third.
Pittsburg retired in order in its half The
