Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1894-06-19
CLOSE GAME.
Rock Island and Peoria Played One Yes
terday Afternoon.

Those who went to Twin-City park
to see a good game Of ball yesterday
were far from disappointed, for it
was close, exciting contest, and a
pitchers battle. 1t opened by
Sweeney fouling out to third; Cam
tillon got base hit, and Katz base
on balls, Hill flew out in right, and
William Walker Zeis lobbed out a
base hit, and Cantillon came home,
katz going to third, O'Connor went
out at first on a hit to third. Peoria
ciphered in its half, and Rock ISL
and dittocd in the second, third,
fourth and fifth. Peoria did net get
run until the seventh, and then it
should not have gotten that: For
the home aggregation in the sixth,
Zcis hit down the first base line and
was out, Michael Horatio O'Connor
stepped up to the plate and slammed
one down to Mangan, but that Indian
made an error, and Mike was safe.
A moment later he stole second, but
Harry Sage put one out in left.
Things looked rather penurious at
this stage of the game, but a young
man. whose home is across the creek,
and who, by the way, played an ele-
CANT game in right field yesterday,
strobe up to the rubber and hinged
out a base hit. Michael Horatio
plodded in home on that hit.
and about minute later Connors
stole second. doc" Andrews struck
out, leaving MIR. Connors on second.
Peoria Scores.
The score was to 0 when Rock
Island went to bat in the seventh,
and when the inning was half over,
II was the same. Not so when it was
all over, for the distillers rolled up
one. How? Well, listen. 1t wasn't
Jay Andrews fault, for he pitched a
shut-out game, but the blame NAV rest
on the head of Hill. Mangan struck
out. and Terrein, a man that ordi-
narily couldn't hit foot ball with a
bass fiddle. made base hit, and
''swiped" second. johnson popped
out to Andrews, and Shaffer, the
Peoria monkey, hit to Hill. Bell
played all right up to this stage of
the game, but he made bad throw
w " SohuOI- anu 1cTIcIu CdIllS IN.
A minute later George Mutton fouled
out to first. In the eighth we didn't
score, but through the excellent
coaching of Shaffer, Peoria scored
two. The how of it was this: Seis-
Ter hit to right field, and Jimmie
Connors got the ball and threw to
O'Connor. but Mike made his only
error of the game right there, and
Seisler was safe. Flynn got base
on balls, Purvis hit to third, and
forced Seisler. Delahanty and Man
gan followed with base hits, and Pur
Wis and Flynn scored. With the
score 3 to in favor of Peoria at the
beginning of the ninth inning, the
crowd became terribly agitated, es-
pecially j. II. Cox from Davenport.
There is no use talking, Cox is q
beaut, and we want him on the trip
to do nothing but coach the team.
As has been said. he became greatly
interested, and going down to his
nest in the grand stand. he pumped
away at johnson until the golden
haired youth was wild. Rock Isl
and ran in two in the ninth, and
made Peoria roll up a goose egg,
so that the score is as appended:

ment being in charge of Mrs. Charles
E. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis secured letters
on the wheat situation from prominent
men in the trade in the United States
and Canada and they are printed in
The Journal, making it perhaps the
most complete symposium on wheat
ever printed in the United States. A
striking feature Of the presentation is
the very general agreement OF promi-
nent men of the trade in Milwaukee,
Baltimore, Toledo, Chicago, San Fran
cisco and St. Louis, that the outlook
for an advance Of wheat prices is dis
couraging. Many speak slightingly Of
wheat feeding, and the general char
acter Of the interviews presented is
very frank in the discussion of the
market situation.

HEIRS WANT 1T.

Thousands of Acres of Iowa Land Involved
in Tax Title Suits.
SIOUX City, Ia, Dec. 27.-Suit has
been begun i'll the Iowa supreme court
involving the title to thousands of acres
Of land in Northwestern Iowa. In the
early sos John Irwin owned large
number of military land warrants upon
some of the choicest lands in North
west Iowa. Duling the war Irwin be-
came financially embarrassed, and
failing to pay taxes upon his Iowa
lands, they were sold at tax sale. The
tax titles thus acquired were purchased
by parties who improved the lands and
have for many years resided upon
them. In October, 1898, Irwin died in
Nebraska, and now his heirs have
brought suit to redeem from the tax
sales, claiming Irwin was insane at the
time the lands were sold for taxes and
SO continued up to the time of his
death. In Clay county alone over 70
different farms are involved

Some Interesting Facts Recorded by Our
Consul at Bamberg.

Consul at Bamberg.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Our consul at
Balnberg, Louis Stern, has submittefS
some statistics to the department. of
state showing the remarkable stimula-
ton of trade between Germany and
Russia, consequent upon the negotia.
tion of the new commercial treaty.
The imports Of Russian grain into
Germany in particular have reached
such proportions that the consul be.
lieves it proper to call the attention of
the American trade. The expectation
Of Russian grain into Germany during
the first 10 months Of the current year
has increased 1862 per cent, and Of
barley 1893. l per cent as compared with
the previous year. On the other hand,
Germany's demand for Russian petro.
leum is falling off, being 54.2 per cent
less than last year. This indicates that
American petroleum has gained almost
full control of the German market.
Exports from Germany to Russia are
likewise steadily increasing.

not regarded the case as serious, but
that a sudden complication had arisen,
and before she could summon assis.
tance the young lady had died.
After securing the necessary papers
the girl was buried without any public
funeral, and all that was known of the
occurrence by the neighbors was that a
hearse was seen to drive from the house
with casket inside and that the party
had been buried in very quiet way.
After learning these circumstances the
authorities telegraphed to Mr.. Steward
to come at once to Park River, whittier
he was on his way.

AT REPUBLICAN MERCY
Admitted That the Minority in the
House Can Defeat the Carlisle
Currency Bill.
SITUATION SUMMED UP.
The Democrats Will Be About Evenly
Divided For and Against
the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-Among the
few members of the house who were at
the capitol looking after their mail the
prevailing opinion seemed to be that
the Republicans had it in their power
to pass or defeat the currency bill. The
Democratic vote, it is said by ono who
has fully canvassed the situation, will
be about evenly divided for and against
the measure. The Republicans are gen.
orally expected to vote against the
measure. While the bill is far from
satisfactory to many of the Democratic
members who will support it, they
say, vote for it, because it will improve,
in their opinion, the present situation.
Judge Culberson put it in this way:
"We are Ike tramp. said he, ''who
has been ordered out Of town. 1t doesn't
matter much whether he goes to New
York, Baltimore or Richmond, but
move we must. The situation in the
treatury is Identical. Something mast
be done to relieve it. If this bill does
not accomplish all it should, it will at
least accomplish something.
Blands Substitute.
Representative Bland, who has free
coinage substitute pending, is very
doubtful Of his ability to secure even
record making vote on it. Chairman
Springer has already. given notice that
he will make a point of order against the
substitute on the ground that it is not
germane, and Mr.. Bland believes it
will be the programme of the advocates
of the currency bill to rule this &lbsti-
tute out on this point. Although he
insists that the substitute dealing as it
does not only with coinage, but with
currency, is germane, he seems in.
clined to the opinion that the point of
order will be sustained. In the event
it is not sustained, however, he says
that inasmuch as the substitute will be
defeated in committee Of the whole
that fact will preclude the possibility
of securing a record making vote on
his proposition in the house.

scending to the lower floor, charred
timber and ashes are all that remain
Of the Cliff House, owned by Mayor.
elect Sutro The remainder is remi-
niscent, for the Cliff House is a thing
OF the past.
A million dollar structure of steel
and stone will be erected in it's stead.
Fire destroyed everything except few
souvenirs, the mirrors and easily move
able furniture, the silverware, choice
vintages and liquors and part of the
bar fixtures.
The fire was hidden one between
ceilings and walls. It started from a
defective hue, and when the flames
found vent, there was rush and
roar Of fire that could not be controlled.
Seals Sought Refuge.
A sharp steady breeze from the
northeast drove the flames and smoke
directly across the seal rocks. AS the
wind increased, the flames spread
oceanward in a horizontal direction,
and sparks fell continuously on the
breakers. The seals hastily betook
themselves from the rocks and sought
refuge in the sea.
Sutro's magnificent baths, the finest
in the world, adjoin the Cliff House,
and it was feared they too would be
demolished. Fortunately the wind
was in the opposite direction, and the
baths were saved.
IL am sorry, Of course, that the
building is burned" said Adolph Sutro
cit had become one Of the landmarks
OF the Pacific coast and many prom
inent people have been entertained
there"
Presidents Liked the Place.
'Three of Americas presidents have
watched the seals sport on the rocks,
and each OF them spent many hours on
the balconies that have disappeared
with the flames.
Grant was the first of the trio, and
after him came Hayes, who thought his
visit not complete without watching
the moods of the Pacific from the
house. The next was Harrison, and he
became so enamored with the place
that he spent many hours on the bal
comics.
Besides these celebrities, there have
been a number Of titled people from
Europe, among them the Marquis of
Lorne, who, when he visited San Fran.
cisco, was governor general of Canada.
Each carried away many mementoes of
the place, and they have frequently re.
ferred to it in their letters and public
utterances.
''Now that it IS gone and it's de.
struction will probably hasten the
erection of the proposed hotel on Point

''lt had been my intention to build
the hotel further out on the point, and
few hundred feet nearer the Golden
Gate, but now it may go on the site OF
the old Cliff House. It will depend
upon the size of the building.
