UNIoNrowN, Sept. l6 - [Spectal.l - The
Wilkesbarre State League team defeated
the home team this morning by q score of IL
to 5. Leamon pitched for the locals and
gave the visitors only four hits, but his sup
port was very rocky. Both sides played a
very loose fielding game, especially the
Uniontown boys, and it was their poor field

visitors. that lost the game. Batteries

in irving at times to make them too enig-
matical that he failed to get them over the
plate, and bases on balls followed. This
eventually cost the visitors the game, for in
ninth inning, with two out, Terry gave two
bases on balls, and these, with a hit, filed
the bases O'Rourke was the only player
who had effectually sized up Terry's curves,
having made a single and double. This
time after having two balls called on him he
caught an outcurve, and sent it sailing to
LEFT field.
Elmer Smith Made a Game Effort.
Smith made a great squirt for the sphere,
but could not quite reach it, and before the
ball was fielded in the three runners had
crossed the plate and the game was won.
It was a hard game to lose, especially when
it had been pulled out of the fire after
Baltimore had it we'll in hand, q measly
little error by Beckley cost the only run
that resulted from poor fielding, the others
unearned being due to bases Oh balls.
In the eighth inning Terry had almost a
similar experience as in the ninth, but he
pulled out by great pitching, retiring the
side with The bases full, but he was not
equal TO the occasion in the ninth. The
best fielding was done by O'Rourke,
Stricken, Shindle and Van Haltren for
Baltimore, while Shugart and Farrell
carried off the honors for Pittsburg
Neither side scored until the third inning
when lucky punching of three singles,
with two sacrifices yielded two runs for
Baltimore. Mcmahon started off with hit,
went to second on Stricker's sacrifice and
went to third on Shindle's single. The lat
ter reached second on Van Haltren's sacri-
fee and beth scored on Sutcliffe's single.
Where the Sluppers Scored
In each of the first three innings the WIS.,
itors mad men left on bases, bat in the
fourth they pulled out run, Beckley leading
off by sending the ball to the left field fence
for three bases. Farrell, who followed,
went out Bierbauer made a single that
brought Beckley home. Terry went out to
second, but Kelly singled and Miller hit
hard one to third which ShindIe managed
to stop, but not in time to field. With the
bases full Donovan sent fly to Stovey.
Baltimore added another to the score in
the sixth when Beckley's tumble gave Van
Haltren lie. Shugart's error of Stovey's
hit. helped him to second and O'Rourke's
double scored him.
There was no more run getting until the
eighth when Pittsburg tied the score on
Shugart's and Beckley's singles and Far
relPs triple. The visitors went ahead in the
ninth, Kelly made 2 single and Miller flied
out to center, then Donovan and Smith fol-
lowed with singles and while Stricken was
irving to make double on Shugarts force
Kelly and Donovan sprinted across the
plate. The score:

HEADQUARTERS TO GO.

The HERALD got 1t from responsible
source yesterday that the military head
quarters of the department of Arizona
were to be moved from this city imme-
diately after election, to Santa Fe, New
Mexico. This, it will be remembered,
was announced come time ago, but
when protests began to pour into Wash
ington from Southern California the
matter was allowed to drop. This was
done at the instance of the president,
who did not wish his supposed majority
here to be imperiled by any such move
at present.
But there is no room for doubt, ac-
cording to the information the HERALD
has, that it is the determination of the
authorities to make the move as soon as
the election is over. The reason for
this is not obvious, but it is mentioned
in this connection that Secretary of War
Elkins has very large property interests
at Santa Fe. These would naturally be
much benefited by the location of head
quarters at that place.
The whole thing is pitiful affair, en-
tirely in keeping, however, with the low
standard of decency in all public matters
which characterizes the present admin
istratiOn,

THE SALT LAKE ROAD.

|. 1t is fact that the management of
the Santa Fe company is considering the
INSTABILITY of at once building from a
point on the Atlantic and Pacific road,
in this state, to Salt Lake City. Mr.. Dan
Freeman, whose interest in matters con-
nected with the progress of Southern
California is tireless, leaves tomorrow, to
confer with President Marvel and GEN
eral Manager Wade in Chicago. While
Mr.. Freeman will not admit that the OBJ
ject OF his trip is the subject above
spoken of, information derived from
another source leaves no doubt that
President Marvel has about decided to
60 ahead with the work, and the meet
ing is for consultation on the project
He has always favored it, but the here
tofore depleted condition of the treas
ury of his company has prevented it's
being undertaken. 1t is suggested that
now a plan has been devised by which
the Santa Fe can build the line at very
little actual outlay. The immense value
of this road to Los Angeles and other
localities, particularly to Salt Lake City,
is go evident that it is more than proba-
BILE that the company can secure very
substantial assistant e. 1t is pleasant to
feel that an undertaking fraught with
go much importance to this city and vi
cinity is likely to be carried out by as
strong and friendly a company as the

BR'RR MILLER IN TROUBLE.

The attorney general of the United
States is engaged in endeavoring to
upset the Michigan election law now
being tested in the Supreme court at
Washington. This is the law which
was passed last year to divide the state
into districts for the election of presi-
dental electors in like manner to that
prescribed for the election of congress-
men. The electoral vote of Michigan
ever since 1860 has gone for the Repub-
lican party, giving eleven solid votes for
that nominee. Last year the Democracy
made move which cuts into that very
badly and threatens to throw five cleo
toral votes for the Democratic nominees.
This is matter of the greatest i'm
portance to the Republican party, and
the anxiety of law-partner Miller is
easily explained. Our idea is that. as
the court is largely Republican in it's
complexion, majority will decide to
upset the Michigan law. We used to
think that the supreme court was
above all partisan considerations, but
the idea of March, 1877, revealed diff
ferent condition of things; and when
Justice Bradley decided that it was law
full to go behind the returns in Florida
and not in Oregon, then we began to
realize that judges were but men, after
all, and no more exempt from human
frailty than editors or schoolmasters.
Mr.. Miller's speech about infringe
ments upon the rights of the people are
just so much Taify-who was Welsh
man, and notoriously dishonest per-

"BY THEIR FRUITS SHALL YR KNOW
THRM"

The address of w. H. Mills, the rail-
road land agent, before the state board
of trade, yesterday, was paper full Of
significance, and one that will find
earnest readers and command deep re-
spect from all classes of readers south of
the Tehachepi loop. The people Of
Southern California long ago saw that
there was no money in the production
OF cereals. Fruits. both citrus and de.
ciduous, were found to pay 30 much bet
ter than anything else, that they found
it was cheaper to import their bread
stuffs from Oregon. and their lumber
from the great northern inland sea of
Washington than to cultivate anything
but fruit.
So it is that lands which could not be
made to pay $40 per acre in cereals,
yield from $3.50 to 1915 per acre in fruit.
Nor are we dependent upon any one
kind of fruit. Dire misfortune to
Orange and Los Angeles counties was
predicted. last winter, when big
"norther" scattered the half-ripe or
anges in every direction, but with July
along came the apricots and peaches
and our fruit-growers once more were
happy. The interests of this section are
SO numerous and so widely diversified
that no one misfortune, like ''the big
blow" of last winter, can hurt us in the
least.
Mr.. Mills talks we'll and writes we'll.
His articles are strong, because their
component sentences are terse and cpl
grammatic; and when he says that
Catalonia can better afford to adver-
tise herself abroad by the gratuitous
distribution of million dollars worth
of her fruit, than to give five dollars to
the worlds fair" he sounds keynote.
The railway systems of handling fruit
have been detrimental to the producer,
on all lines; and the practice OF ship
ping to Chicago for distribution, and
then sending the same fruit
back into Missouri again, stale by
twenty to forty hours, has long
since become an abuse. What the
fruit-growers want is a system of rail-
way transportation that will admit of
cars being unloaded at way stations
between here and Chicago, in lots to suit
purchasers and "a freight tariff that
contemplates the payment of go much
per ton per mile, for each and every
mile go travelled. When that system
and that freight tariff are inaugurated,
then eastern consumers can get our
fruits at rates which include purchasers
other than millionaires; and for the
dawn of the day when that system is
devised and that tariff goes into effect,
your petitioners will ever pray.
