James Z. Murdoch an Old Time Actor
Dead - An Excellent Actor and an
Ardent Patriot.
James z. Murdoch, the famous actor who
died at Cincinnati yesterday at the ad-
vaneed aged of eighty three, was many
years ago well known In this city, and Will
be especially remembered on account of
his readings. He had fine elooutionary
attachments and during the war raised con-
siderable money for the United States
sanitary commission by giving readings
and lectures throughout the various parts
of the country. The ardor of his recita-
ton of such poems As ''Sheridsn's Ride"
hndled the enthusiasm of the compstriots.
At one time he acted as q volunteer aide
on the staf Of General Rosecrans, and In
many other ways gave proof of his patriot
ism.
After the war he retired to his farm,
where for many years he followed the
peaceful vocation of grsps-raising. He
emerged from his seclusion in 1879 to give
a course of readings and lectures before
the School of Oratory In Philadelphia, and
since then he has been heard from time to
time on the platform in Cincinnati and
other cities. A few years ago he meditated
q return to the stage, but that project was
although his bodily and mental
vigor were preserved in an uncommon de-
gree almost to the last hours of his life
During his active career he was associated
with many famous men in military and
civil life, and stored up q rich fund of per-
sonsl anecdote which made him q most en-
Pertaining companion. His intellectual
scquirsments, moreover, were of no com
mon order, and his life was in every way
useful and honorable. Although his name
La scarcely entitled to place In the list of
really great actors, 1t Will always be num-
bered among those which confer dignity
and value upon the theater,

AN EXCITING GAME,

IL Took Twelve Innings to Settle the
Supremacy In the Game Between
Boston and Brooklyn.
BOSTON, May 19.-One of the most eI-
citing games of several seasons was placed
between Boston aud Brooklyn at the South
End to-day. 1t required twelve innings
to settle the supremacy, and all the en-
thusiasm was crowded into the last three.
Stein and Stivetts were in great fettle.
Not hit was made off the Boetoniap until
the ninth, and scratch hit by Stvetts
was the only blot on STEMS record.
In the ninth Brooklyn made q great bid
for the game by scoring three runs on Q
single by Tom DAILY, as Q sacrifice by
Richardson, q double by Con Daley and
errors by Stivetts and CAMEL, the latter
letting In two runs by an excusable muf
at the plate. The crowd began giving the
game up as lost, but many were quickly
brought back by the enthusiasm of those
who remained.
Mccarthy got his base on balls and Nash
drove the ball over the left field fence. he
stsid on third to bother Stein and Tucker
kept up the fun by knocking out q double.
A bunt by Low and q wild throw by Tom
DAILY tied the score. The crowd was wild
but their courage fell q little when Burns
led off with q hit In the tenth. A couple
of bases on balls and q hit brought In q
run.
Billy Nash tied the score in Boston's
half of the tenth with a home run.
Neither side scored in the eleventh, but in
the twelfth a muff by Carroll, . sacrifice
by Burns and q hit by Tom DAILY gave
Brooklyn the winning run. The best
Boston could do was to get q man on sec.

JUMPED INTO A RIVER.

Believed That q wealthy Reside mt OF
st. Paul aud President OF the North
western Cordage Works Has Conn
mitted Suicide.
ST. PAUL, May 19.-It is believed that
Charles 8. Rogers, president of the North
western Cordsgs works, has committed
suicide. kr. Rogers left home early this
morning and has not returned, and has not
appeared at bis Office.
This afternoon as boy was crossing the
high bridge a man drove up and said to
him, "I want you to take this horse and
buggy home for me-" The man handed
the boy q paper on which was written &C.
8. Rogers, 419 Grove street" He also
handed him Q letter addressed to Charles
8. Rogers, president of the North Western
Cordage company. The boy says the man
told him his name was O. s. Rogers.
The man then got out of the buggy and
without a moments warning stepped to
the railing and jumped into the air, des-
cending to the river, $50 feet below. Thus
far no trace of the remains have been
found, though q large number are now on
the river in boats, searching for them. 1t
Is not thought that Mr.. Rogers was in
volved in any financial difficulties, and 1t
II believed . ft of temporary insanity
caused him to commit suicide.
Mr.. Rogers was one of the leading busi-
ness men of the city and was well-to-do.
He was Q son-inlaw of z. F. Drake, one of
the wealthiest men in the city.

More Evidence in Favor OF the War
den.
HARTFORD, May 19.-Ths only witness
before the prison investigating committee
this afternoon at its session In the prison
chapel was Ernest G. Trudeau, an employe
of the prison, who has been Waterman and
acting hsllkeeper. BE was called by War
don Chamberlain, and his testimony Was
decidedly in favor of the warden. He re-
viewed tho cases of Andrews, Collou,
Wales Doolittle, Patrick Fox, Jones,
Hutohins, and nearly all of the convicts of
whom Martin and Mullen have testified.
He thought the stories of these witnesses
were greatly exaggerated, and said the
prisoners were always treated as they
should be, and never received more severe
punishment than they deserved. He said he
was member of the club composed Of
oH6c ers of the prison. It was organised
for purely social purposes, but there were
books there touching on prison matters
and the affairs of tho prison were often
| discussed by the club. On one occasion
the management of the prison was dis
| cussed, Chamberlain, Chsplsin Atwood,
! Martin, Mullen, B81eQen AuQ OtQors LAklue
| part in the debate. Martin and Mullen
believed that more humane methods should
be used in dealing with the prisoners, but
they did not support this side of the CUES
ton much nore than the. other officers
The witness thought that the clubbing o.
Wales Doolittle and putting twisters OF
Andrews were justifsble under the cir
oumstanees, as both men were violent and
could not be handled.
Truaeau did not expect to be called as
witness and had never been told that
would be we'll for him to keep his eye
open sharp and his mouth closed. BE had
never told anyone % to what he could tes
hfy. Yesterday he sent letter to Cham
bsrlain telling him that he would like t
be called as q. witness. Warden Chamber
lain saowed the letter to Senator Jones AM
he In turn to Senator Root. The witnes
had heard the threats of Martin that b
would get even with Chamberlain by fai
means OF foul and had also heard him 80
that the deputies were OF no more as
about the prison than babies. he wa
closely cross examined, but his testimon
was not shaken. The hearing was adjourne
about O'Clock until next Tuesday. a
of the members Of the Investigating CON
mittee were present this afternoon, includ
Ing Judge Beardsley.

A Committee Appointed to Formulate

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The second days
session of the Presbyterian general assem-
bly, was opened to day by devotional e1er-
cises conducted by the Rev. DIR. Smith of
Baltimore, Md. The Rev. Mr.. McCsuley
of Dayton, O., moved a reconsideration of

fused by an almost unanimous vote, and
Mr.. McCsuley then moved to add the sub
stitute to the resolution of yesterday, but
the assembly refused to adopt 1t or consid-
| or 1t.

The annual reports of the various church
boards made public to-day and to be taken
up by the Presbyterian general assembly
from time to time, show encouraging re-
suits in every branch of the work.
Rev. DR.. Smith, chairman of the COM
mittee on church unity, reported four
meetings of the committee held in the past
year, the result of which had been that It
had been deemed best to dropfor the pres
emit discussion Of the differences between
the two churches and leave to the future
the work of securing the organic external
union desired. The correspondence be-
tween the committee and the Episcopal
commission in the past year was read, to
the great interest of the assembly. From
this 1t appeared that the Episoopslians Of
fered to make such changes in the methods
of selecting members of the episcopate
as might be deemed essential If
only thereby the union of American
Christians could be secured and, further,
