MURPHY's wonderful catching has much

Cincinnati pitchers.
PERHAPS the cause Of Rusie, OF New YORK,
losing SO many games may be attributed to
the loss of Buckley. He misses his old
catcher.

WARD may make errors, but the fact Is
the Brooklyn Captain is playing star
game. He goes after everything in sight
and wins many games by his great head,
work.
THE impossibility of getting new men is
bringing gray hairs to the heads OF some OF

KILLED AT THE MONUMENT.
Lightnlng's Work at the Big Grant
Statue "a Chicago.

Three persons wers killed, two seriously
injured and the Grant Monu nent in Lincoln
Park slightly damaged in a short but fierce
thunderstorm which visited Chicago, ILL.,, a
few nights since The killed were Lewis
Myer, Mrs. Shelby, of Chicago, and an I'M
known man. The injured were Harry
Philips and Mrs. Matte Olsen, also OF
Chicago.
The catastrophe was the result of a bolt of
lightning which struck the monument in the
corridors of which nearly fifty persons
sought shelter. At the first signs of the ap-
preaching storm, Lincoln Park. in which the
monument stands was covered with people
who had prepared to enjoy the cool of the
evening. The storm began with a
slight shower which rapidly de-
yeIoped into a small hurricane, accom-
panied by downpour Of rain, vivid flashes
Of lightning and terrific pea!s of thunder.
When its fury was at its height, binding
fash struck the statue taking its course
directly through the little crowd which had
sought safety in its enclosures. Everybody,
with the exception OF three men, was thrown
to the ground but ali were unniurad except
those named. The bolt did not strike the
bronze figure OF Grant and the damage to
the monument viii be covered by a few
dollars.
