ON ONE HOME RUN
How Tom Power Won the
Game for Uncle.
POLICE AND THE SMALL BOY.
ALarge Crowd and Close and Very
Exciting Game at Piedmont
Yesterday.

Ono of the very best games OF ball that
tba second half IF the season has thus far
developed took place ar Piedmont yester-
day afternoon. So close was 1t that home
run. contributed by Tom Power In the last
half of the eighth inning, won the game for
San Francisco.
It was not until the first OF the eighth
that Oakland managed to get in the lead.
Before that the score had stood to in
in favor of Uncle Henry's men. A passed
hall on three strikes of Earle by Spies let
in those two runs practically. and made
the aspect seem dismal for Henry for the
time being.
But Henry's men are batters. That is
where they excel at playing the national
game.
Power waited until he got aman ahead OF
him on the base line and then he picked out
one that just suited his eye and slammed
1t over the left field fence.
Griffith and Balsz both pitched fine
game. and the support th a Griffith got was
really shade better than Uncle's men
gave Balsz but BalsZ didn't mind that.
He struck out six men and kept the total
of hits down to six, and not one OF them
was over a single.
II was ladies' day at Piedmont and the
grand stand was crowded. while the drive

of inspiring subjects. The agriculture,
wine producing and mining industries
may be treated sym bolically in panel or
fresco. Then there is snow-capped Shasta
in the north and the olive and orange
groves in the south that can be treated
effectively. While perhaps the artists
here have not had the ripe experience OF
Kenyon Cox, Carroll Beckwith or Walter

WORLDS WHEAT CROP.
Farmers Advised to Hold for Better
Prices.

ST. LOUIS. July 19.-The Journal of
Agriculture Of this city, treating editorial
ly on the condition Of the present wheat
crop and the probable advance in prices.
says: The best American and European
authorities agree that thel'world's deh-
cheney will be at least 100. 900. 600 bushels
The most reliable figures now place the
total American crop of 1893 at about $685.
000,00 bushels. which. added to the sur
plus carried over, will make less than
100000 bushels. England will want
probably 250, 600, 600 bushels, and the home
trade needs $40. 100000 bushels"
The Journal believes. in view OF the
fact that the American crop is 10000. 900
bushels short, as compared with last year,
and as Europe, with q short crop, is now
grabbing up American wheat as fast as it
can without attracting much attention, the
time has come when American farmers
should not sell a bushel of wheat at the
present prices.

THE HOWELL CASE.
At Midnight the Jury Had Not

The Howell case went to the jury in the

Immediately retired for dinner. returning
about an hour later. The whole afternoon
was spent in deliberation, and at 7:3O a

At midnight no verdict had been

District Attorney Garter finished his ar

A COMSTOCK CUT.
EXPENSES at the Mines to
Be Reduced.
Unless There Be q Reduction of
Twenty-Five Per Cent Mines
Will Have to Shut Down.

The flush days OF the Comstock have
gone. Expenses must be cut down or the
mines will be closed. James L. Flood,
Robert Morrow and other mine managers
held a consultation a few days ago and
agreed that the only way to keep the mines
going was TO shave expanses. The secre-
taries, superintendents and accountants in
this city signed an agreement to accept a
reduction of 25 per cent in their salaries.
and like reduction is proposed for all the
employees in Nevada. The agreement was
forwarded to Virginia City yesterday and
will be laid before the Miners Union and
the Mechanics Union.
Wages are but one item that the man
ayers Of the mines want 20 have cut down.
The charges for transportation and for
wood, lumber, water and other supplies
must be less than now. The general feel
ing Is that more reason exists for the re-
duction Of rates charged by the railroad,
water and lumber companies than for
cut in wages.
These companies are mouopolies and
have grown rich on extortiOnate prices.
The Virginia and Truckee Railroad. which
does the carrying for the mines. is owned
by d. o. Mills and the Sharon estate. The
Sharon estate iS also a large StocKnuffcr
In the Virginia and Gold Hill Water Com
pany. 1t controls several of the principal
mines and may be willing to reduce rates
to keep the mines in operation. Without
them the railroads and the water COM
pany's business would be lOsteto great
extent.
The lowest wages paid on the Comstock
is S4 q day. Even boy who goes under
ground 10 handle a pick must receive that.
in accordance with the scale adopted by the
Miners Union. Carpenters receive S5 a
day and mechanics Sc. These wages may
seem large to men elsewhere who have TO
work for less, but. as mining man yester-
day said, it should be remembered that
there are many miners out OF employment
| at Virginia City. they having been laid of
from time to time as work slackened. and
every man ut work supports one or two
others out of his wages.
The miners are large-hearted and BROTH
erly. 1t is said that they will accede to
reduction, seeing the condition OF the
| mines.
The decrease In the value Of the silver
has tended to still further depress busi-
ness at the mines, as large percentage OF
silver is included in the yield.
stock yet, and il the exrense of mining
and milling it is reduced it can be taken
out with svme profit. At present the mines
can be run only at loss. and as nobody
wants the stock when only assessments
are in prospect, very few shares are sold
at the exchange, and those few change
hands at constantly descending prices.
There are about sixty mines on the
C0mstock and the expenSes OF each run
