HEWITT DID 1T.
The Athletics Missed Connection With
the Sphere and stuck In the Mud.

The game of ball Saturday be-
tween the newly organized Morgan
town club and the Uniontown, Pa,
Athletic club was one of the best and
cleanest games ever played on the
Morgantown grounds. The game
was called at 2:10 and the first three
innings were rattlcrs. Hewitt the
home twirler struck out all Q men
in these innings, but the visitors got
runs in the second on what nine
tenths of the people who witnessed
the game considered foul ball At
the end of the 3rd inning fearful
rain set in and general stampede
was caused. After the rain was over
the game was resumed but it was
tough on the players who had to dive
around in the mud after the ball.
The home players played good ball
and several of them knocked the
calf skin out of sight. There was
little or no kicking on decisions of
the umpires, Mcclure and Dawson,
and the guying of players that has
heretofore been disgraceful feature
of too many games was conspicuous
for its absence. The Uniontown boys
are good players and gentlemen who
will be heartily welcomed the next
time they come up for another dose
of the same medicine. Following is
the score

Conceding that the labor troubles
ere at an end, at least for time, it
would be the part of wisdom for ev-
erybody, after duly thanking Proyi-
dence that the country was not call
ed upon to face revolution, as many
predicted, to throw aside all thought
OF further trouble, buckle down to
business, cease talking about hard
times and thus start again on the
road to material prosperity That
road was left to one side some months
ago. Now is a good time to get
back to 1t, to take our bearings anew
and to push on straight for legiti-
mate business. Let all take this
course. Let us all forget that "times
are not what they used TO be-" and
do what we can individually and
collectively to get back to first prin-
ciples. This is too big and too grand
country, its possibilities for deyel-
opment too great, to allow a furry
like we have been passing through
for some time to have any permanent
effect upon its destiny. A long pull,
a strong pull and pull all together
is all that is needed to make this
good old nation blossom as the rose

Riot Damages.

The law making Chicago and 9th
er counties and municipalities re-
sponsible for the destruction of prop
erty by mobs is sufficiently sweeping
to leave little doubt of the legal and
financial responsibility of the Windy
City for big, round sum. 1t was
passed in 1887, and the first section
ton reads as follows:
Whenever any building, or real or
personal property, except property
in transit, shall be destroyed or in
jured in consequence of any mob or
riot composed of II or more persons,
the city, or if not in city then the
county, in which such property was
destroyed shall be liable to an ac-
tion by or in behalf of the party
whose property was thus destroyed
or injured for three. fourths of the
damages sustained by reason there
of.
1t is said by the railroad attorneys
that suits will be entered under this
and other laws in both the federal
and state courts as soon as the skies
clear. In all discussion of the SUBJ
ject of recovering damages the Allie
gheny county cases for damages by
the riots of 1877 are relied on. s.The
total loss by these riots was officially
reported at $4,10O,OO0. OF this
amount the county was held liable
by the courts and paid $2,700,O0O.
There were over 1000 claims. The
Pullman car company put in claim
for $77, 900, but settled it for $55, 900.
Persons who agreed to compromise
their claims were generally paid two
thirds of the proven value of the
property destroyed. On change
of venue, the claimants not relishing
an Allegheny county jury, the suits
were tried in Beaver county. This
county issued bonds to pay the judy
ment, and to meet the bonds impos-
ed special tax. Although it
sounds like a big sum, the payment
of 100000 stretched over period
of years was not at all oppressive on
the taxpayers of a rich county like
Allegheny, nor will it be onerous on
Chicago in meeting its bill for dam
ages.
The Chicago lawyers representing
the city are talking of defense bas-
ed on the contributory negligence, or
rather lapses, of the railroad COM
panies, and express great confidence
that the city will win on such
grounds. Allegheny county tried
defense of that kind, but it was of
no avail.-Post,

Meals and Appeared Indifferent to

CHICAGO, July 13.-Patrick Eu
gene Predergast, the assassin of May
or Harrison, was hanged at HAS
o'clock.
Within the gloomy white walls of
Cook county jail all was hustle, con-
fusion and suppressed excitement
as the time rapidly drew near when
the condemned murderer would ex-
plate his crime, paying the forfeit
with his life. The gallows had been
placed in position in the east end of
the north corridor, and at 1885
Jailor Morris and his assistants
made the final test of the rope, trap
and trigger.
At 1880 all the prisoners in the
three tiers of cells Immediately in
front of and to the left of the scat
fold, were marched out and taken
over to the South wing, in order
that there might be no demonstra-
ton during the final scenes.
As is the custom the assassin was
closely guarded by bailiffs during
the night. Between six and seven
o'clock he partook heartily of a
breakfast, and about 8 o'clock he
said to Tailor Morris that he was
again hungry. The jailor had his
prisoner served with another hearty
meal This Prendergast disposed
of quickly. The assassin talked
freely with his spiritual advisers,
and several times, apparently fear
ing that they would desert him, re-
marked: "You must stay with me
to the end"
AS the hour for the execution
came nearer Prendergast showed
some signs of slightly increased
nervousness, but on the whole he
was remarkably calm and well col
lected. The jury of physicians at
lilo filed in and inspected the
scaffold and appurtenances. Fifty
deputy sherifis were ranged around
the sides of the corridor, until the
final march should be taken up.
Sheriff Gilbert and Tailor Morris
appeared at the right of the scaffold.
The prisoner, pale and unsteady,
walked behind them. He stood with
out apparent nervousness, though a
trifie weak and unsteady, as his arms
were being pinioned. Tailor Morris
placed the rope about his neck, the
white cap over his head and Prem
dergast, an instant later. shot down
ward, the head twisted to one side
the neck having apparently been
broken, Nine minutes after the trig-
ger was sprung he was pronounced
dead. At 11:5S Jailor Morris I'M
loosened the anchored end of the
rope, and the shrouded corpse was
slowly lowered and put into coffin.

TRAINS RUNNING.
Everything Moving in Old-Time Style
Mt Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 16.-At the Union
depot yesterday, every train on all
the roads using that terminal was
reported on time and there was not
so much as rumor of trouble, in
any of the yards, nor along the line.
At the Grand Central station the
same encouraging reports were re-
ceived. There were no soldiers on
guard and trains we're arriving and
departing with such regularity that
there were no announcements to
mark upon the bulletin board. At
the Dearborn station all trains were
running on time with the exception
of one train on the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, suburban trains
had also been resumed. The West
ern Indiana which had trouble with
misplaced switches Saturday, had
overcome ell difficulty and trains
were running as usual.

Our National Finances

The United States Treasury quit
business at the close of the fiscal
year, June 30, with total cash bal
ance of $l17, 1884, 436. OF this amount
$64, 1878, 024 formed what is known as
the gold reserve, leaving a net bal
ance of $52,711,412. At the close of
business on the 31st day of January
last the gold in the Treasury amount
ed to $65,650,175 and this was in.
creased by the sale Of bonds by $685.
100000. Thus it will be seen that
there is little difference in the situa-
tion Of affairs from that existing at
the time the loan was made.
The receipts from all sources were
$3l3,59S,O00, and the expenditures
were $377,522,O00.
The receipts for the previous fiscal
year were 8S,75S,000, and the ex-
penditures $392,516,oO0. 1t will be
seen that there was falling off both
in receipts and expenditures. The
chief falling off in the revenue was
from customs duties, and the de-
crease in expenditures in the matter
Of pensions. The amount gathered
from customs was 1892, 900, 900,
against 5000, 10000 for the preced-
ing year, difference of $71 900, 900
or about million and half more
than the deficiency of the present
year which amounts to $69,633,013.
With the passage of the tariff bill
and the resumption of trade in all
branches it is anticipated that the
deficiency will soon be made good
and the reserve brought up to it's
proper standard and with it will
come a return of Hoood timas -

The b. IL o. Railroad.

The Baltimore d Ohio is one of
the great railway systems of the
country, and the increase of its bus
mess calls for the steady augm enta-
tion of it's carrying facilities. Those
who are most familiar with it's pro-
gress perceive most clearly it's ne
cessities. They have faith in it's fu-
ture because they understand the
opportunities which lie in it's way
and which only need the requisite
capital to turn them to profitable ac-
count. There are many fields of en-
terprise all along the main line and
branches which are lying fallow for
want of being worked, and some of
these will be placed under cultiva.
ton, so to speak, in the near future
The company has recently effected
loan of $15,000,000 to pay for i'm
provements and the acquisition of
additional terminal facilities. The
sum of $4,000 in bonds was plac-
ed in London, and an additional So
100000 has also been issued, the
whole having been covered by a
mortgage recorded in Baltimore a
few days ago. No detailed statement
of the proposed expenditures has
been made, but the entire sum will
be devoted to improvements in the
road bed, in the construction of de-
pots, stations, tracks, shops and
warehouses, and in the purchase of
additional terminal property.
To many the present time may
seem inauspicious for increasing in
debtedness, but it is essential to the
life of a great trunk line that it be
kept in the best possible condition
and supplied with all the modern
facilities for handling its traffic. t
must not be forgotten that, notwith-
standing the prevailing depression,
there could be no more favorable
time for entering upon the work of
rehabilitation and extension than
the present. Both labor and mater
ials are abundant and cheap and will
probably continue so for few years.
When the revival comes the road
will be fully equipped at all points
and in a position to handle its hush
ness cheaply and expeditiously.-

Mr.. Pullman must be aware by
this time that bis quarrel With his
car builders has mas tremendous
consequences. 1t is true that as
soon as the disturbance began he
fed from the scenes and sequestered
himself first at Lorg Branch and
then in his castle ON the remote
northern border Even there, how
ever, he is not so far away that he
cannot dictate by telegraph the ar
rogant course OF his Vice President,
Wickes, end he is voiuble in declar-
Ing to reporter that be 'swill abso-
lutely refuse to arbitrate any point
whatever" with his employees.
As ell the facts come to light it is
made plain that Mr.. Pullman could
have prevented this strike, with its
attendant consequences, without the
sacrifice of either dignity or dollars.
He claims that his books would show
that even at the reduced wages he
was manufacturing cars at loss.
If this be true, arbitrator would
unquestionably have decided in his
favor. SO he at least had nothing
to lose by the arbitration proposed
by the men.
Since this first refusal the entire
country has become involved in bis
quarrel. First the City Government,
then the State Government and fin.
ally the Federal Government have
been drawn into the contest. MANY
thousand dollars worth of property
has been destroyed The trade of
half the continent has been paraly-
zed and human life has been sacri-
feed. while the menace of bloody riot
hangs like pail over the second
city of the country,
Aud still from his secure retreat
Mr.. Pullman refuses to make even a
formal concession. On Monday a
committee of his workingmen, ac-
companied by members of the City
Council and with the approval of
Mayor Hopkins, waited upon his rep
resentative and offered to submit
the question of whether or not there
was anything to arbitrate to a com
mittee composed to two members
chosen by himself (Mr. Pullman, J
two selected by the Circuit Judges
of Cook County and one to be chosen
by these four. Laboring men were
to have no representative on the
committee, yet they pledged them
selves to abide by its decision.
This offer, which was practically a
surrender by the men, was peremp-
torily rejected by Mr.. Pullman's tel
egraphic order on the ground that
she will not permit outsiders to run
his business"
Alderman McGillen's criticism
upon this arrogant and unpatriotic
attitude is perfectly sound. He re-
minds Mr.. Pullman that 'sthe Pull
man Company and other corpora
tions of the land are quasi public
corporations which have enjoyed
public benefits from the community"
He points out that 1.-THE principal
asset of the Pullman Company is
its list of patents" and that asset
has been conferred by the nation.
He argues logically that a corpora
tion enjoying millions as the fruit of
such public benefits owes something
to the public, especially where the
preservation of peace is involved.
To all these arguments and APP
peals Mr.. Pullman turns deaf ear.
But he will find it difficult to justify
his conduct when the excitement is
over and the people begin in calm
ness to ask who is responsible for
the appalling loss and the still more
appalling risky. Y. World.

The strike is practically over and
is acknowledged to be a failure. The
workmen who have suffered and will
continue to suffer from it have our
sympathy. They are mostly honest,
well meaning men who have been de-
ceived by their leaders. There was
nothing to justify the action of the
A. r. u in the matter. While the
Pullman men no doubt had griev-
ance, they are worse off than ever
and will be glad to return TO work
at reduced wages The railroads now
have their innings and have begun
to boycott members Of the A. r U,
by placing them on the black list.
