PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE most
disgraceful scene ever witnessed on the
baseball grounds in this city, and which
which finally terminated in a riot, occurred
in to-days game between Philadelphia and
Boston. Tucker had his cheek bone broken
by a blow and several other Boston play
ers were roughly handled. AT the end of
the seventh inning the score stood 2 TO l
in Boston's favor. At this juncture the
weather became threatening and it looked
as though there might be a downpour of
rain at any moment. The home team went

had been scored the Boston players began
throwing the ball about the field and jump

would interrupt the game and give them
the victory. Umpire Campbell, who offici-
ated i'm Stages place, warned Captain Nash
to play ball. Nash and his men paid no
attention to Campbells warning, refusing
to put the home players out. they having to
run out of line and bat foul before they
were declared out by the umpire. Thomp-
son. the third man out, had TO cut across
the diamond from first to third before the
side could be put out. Nash and his team

The Boston men. who were sitting on the
players bench. began packing their bats
and started TO leave the grounds. Tucker
started to go to the dressing room. when
he remembered that he left his big glove
on the base line. He started across the
field toward first base. The crowd, which
had surged upon the field. gathered around
him. One of the crowd jostled Tucker with
his elbow. This was the signal for riot.
Some one in the mob struck Tucker in the
left cheek, breaking the bone. Grady,
Boyle, weighing and many of the Phila-

but he was roughly handled before he was
conducted to the dressing room by officers.
The crowd then turned its attention TO

AGAINST THE WABASH.
Decision i'm Case That Has Been
Through Many Courts.

TOLEDO. o.. July 17.-Judge Pugsley'
of the Common Pleas Court, to-day rem
dered a decision for the plaintiffs in the
case Of the trustees Of Adelbert College,
William Redmond and others against the
Wabash Railroad Company, entering de-
cree for S2A,J00, with interest from May
l, 1879. The suit is the outcome OF an
issue of 100000 equipment bonds, which
was put on the market by the Wabash
company in 1862. The company defaulted
in interest in 1915, and the suit decided to-
day has been pending since 1889. 1t was
removed to the United States Court by the
defendant company and was only remand
ed TO the Common Pleas after years OF
litigation, finally eliminating in an order
from the United States Supreme Court:
According TO Judge Pugsley's opinion all
interest coupons maturing between the
years 1875 and 1879 are barred by the
statute of limitation The principal of the
bonds became due on May /, 1893. The case
will be carried up. The Supreme Court of
Ohio ruled against the railroad on SIM
liar suit instituted by James Compton.

MUST NOT THREATEN.
Strikers Warned by Judge Phillips,
of the Federal Court.

KANSAS CITY. July 17.-Judge John F.
Phillips, of the United States District Court,
has addressed the following letter TO United
States Marshal Joe Shelby in regard to the
strike:
that strikers, so-called, on the railways in
this district and their sympathZers and
abettors since the withdrawal OF deputy
marshals, are beginning to congregate and
switchyards, shops and locomotives of the
railway companies seeking by their talk,
threats and conduct to exert an influence
upon the employees of the railway to induce
and compel them TO quit the service of the
road and again to obstruct the United
States mails. interstate commerce and in
terfere with the operation OF roads in the
hands of receivers. If. as the misguided
not yet over they and their followers must
understand that neither are the orders nor
injunctions heretofore issued by the United
States court of this district recalled. AS
the men voluntarily quit the service of
companies, in common decency, they ought
not TO congregate and hang about the prop
erty of the roads for purposes of mischief.
They should behave and betake themselves
TO some other honest employment, having
voluntarily decided upon a retirement from
the service of these roads. AS good citizens
they owe some duty to the public.
IF necessary, you should keep on guard
ing and station deputy marshals at needful
points to guard against unlawful Interior
ence with the railway companies, within
the purview of the order heretofore issued
by the court, and arrest violators of said or
der and take them before the competent
tribunal within Jurisdiction, to be dealt
with according to law. Let the eye of JUS

vigilance as that of the turbulent agitator
and disturber of the national peace. These
men must be made to know that this is

TO me this was the greatest hope he had
to tie up the freight traffic. The general
strike of the trades in Chicago has been

that when Mr.. Debs read the statement
to us which he intended TO submit to the

1t is an unanswerable and convincing ar
ship of all railroads. 1t has done

have so long remained isolated to come in

has worked as a tremendous and far

of such strikes the coal miners and that
of the railroad men will be the federation
of the entire working class. This federation
will move tremendously social, educa-
tional, economical and political lines

LEXINGTON. KY, July II. - Fayette
county held the two chief Ashland dis
trict congressional opponents to-day, Col.
Breckenridge speaking at Donerail and Mr..
Owens at Muir. There were many ladies
present at both meetings. The women at
Donerail threw boquets at Breckenridge by
the score. and the pious element was
shocked when he compared them to the
women of old who sympathzed with
Stephen when stones were being cast at
him. Breckenridge left for Washington to-
night after kissing his son Desha good
bye in the presence of the audience
Mr.. Owens handled Breckinridge's con-
gressional record without gloves. He said
the reason the Colonel had done nothing
for the Kentucky-river appropriation was
because he WAS attorney for the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad. If the voters
thought Settle a better man than himself
they should send him, since he (Owens)
would rather see anybody go to Congress
from the Ashland district than to have
Breckenridge further disgrace it,

PLY resulted in no injury TO either the
crew or the passengers. The train was
well filled. and left the mole about fifteen
minutes late. When ii reached Kirham
street there was a loud explosion, then a
flash of flame, followed by a dense smoke.
SO strong was the shock that the train
was brought to sudden standstill. There
was much excitement among the passen-
gers and rush TO escape through the win
dows or over the gates. The conclusion
shattered the windows of the cars and of
residences along the line of track. The
engine was twisted and broken by the
shock. No one was injured
