1T DIDN'T COME OFF.
The Bridgeport Bali Players Confronted
with an Injunction.

With an Injunction.
The authorities prevented the Cleve-
land ball team playing the local nine
Yesterday afternoon, on The new
grounds at Bridgeport, and crowd OF
over g, 900 persons were disappointed as
the result. The Cleveland team arrived
in Bridgeport Saturday night, and
every arrangement was made for the
game. Long before the time the game
was be called the street cars running TO
the new park were filled with base ball
enthusiasts. About o'clock Ia the az
ternooB, all was in readiness for the
game. Both clubs were thera In full
uniform, among them the battery from
PittSburg. They were, Knell, recently
released from the Pittsburg team, and
Stetzel, another of the Smoky City
PLAYERS. BY this time the base ball
crankS we're swarming in at the gates.
Already over twenty-five hundred
were inside tue enclosure, and
still they came. Just as the ball was to
be twirled out by the umpire Constable
Thomas Thompson advanced and said
the game must not go on. Mr.. Thomp-
son had his authority in an Injunction
brought by the Bridgeport people, who
have been kicking so vigorously on the
game. An effort was made TO get bond
that the game might go on, but under
these conditions the Cleveland team re-
fused To play. This ended it, as far as
the hope of having the game brought
of was concerned. Some OF those in
the Enclosure had dead-headed TO see
the game, but still there was about 1000
Of them who had paid their quarter to
see the contest. They then wanted their
money back. The proceeds were in a
satchel, and some Of il was refunded
but most OF it was not, owing TO the i'm
possibility of telling who had bought
tickets. 1t is proposed to arrange for
a game the latter part OF this week at
the new park, when those holding tick
cts will be admitted, so that they can
get their money out OF ii. Arrange
ments will be made TO have a hrst-class
game, aud an attempt will be made TO
get some OF the best players in Pitts
burg to take a part Mr.. Glssscock
called at the REGISTER Office last night
and said he felt confident that crowd
OF :, 200 people would have been there il
something had not turned up. He
stated that be never saw such gang of
base ball cranks in his life. Mr.. Glass
cock wished it said that he had not in
tended 10 have taken part in the game,
as Manager Buckenoerger, OF the Pitts
burgs, would not'grant him the privi-
iege under any consideration. The
Cleveland bows got their 500 promised
and they left the grounds in the best OF
moods, far different from the disap-
pointed crowd.

One more week OF tariff bill debate
has nov begun. and one more week Of
uncertainty will be forced upon the
country by the Republican obstruction
lists, who are using every effort TO post
pone prosperity. Every business man
knows that nothing now is keeping
business back SO much as the uncer-
tainty which necessarily accompanies a
tariff bill debate. No one can be abso-
lutely sure until a measure Is passed
just what its provisions are to be, and
no one knows until a tariff bill is passed
in what way his business may be affect
ed by il. Just as long as the bill
is pending just so long will the business
depression last. What is needed to re-
vivs the business Of the country, the
depression 10 which is felt by Demo-
Gratis aud Republicans alike, is action.
The speedy passage of a revenue re-
form bill is demanded. The Democrats
want the measure passed; the Republi-
cans want the uncertainty settled and
II the bill is going to pass at all they
want it passed as soon as possible.
The Democrats are ready at any time,
and have been for several weeks, to vote
upon the bill, but the Republican SenA-
tors. under the leadership and guidance
Of N. S. QUAY, persist in their obstruc-
ton. They want TO talk on every SUBJ
ject connected with the entire tariff and
still having nothing new to say. Their
speeches are delivered to empty seats
and galleries and no one reads them but
the prooi-readers In the government
printing Office.
Their policy is simply cue OF delay.
Regardless OF the business welfare Of
the country for which they have al
ways proiessed so great an interest,
and OF the laborer for whom they make
so many professions of esteem and sym
patty, they are pursuing a policy now
which is doing more than any other
thing to disturb business, prevent a
restoration OF normal conditions and
keep the laborers out Of work.
The country needs new tariff law;
it needs it now; and all delay in It's en-
actment Is causing business losses and
a general depression Of industrial &C
tivity. The Democrats are ready, and
lsng have been, to vote upon it and all
the results of the delay should be placed
where they belong-on the Republican
obstructionists.

tions were issued, and almost everyone
receiving one was present and enjoyed

TIE rARRRNAoLE BURNED.

Some strange fatality seems to hover
over the Brooklyn Tabernacle, the Rev.
DR.. TALMAGE, or perhaps both. For
the third time since his pastOraJe began,
the Tabernacle has been destroyed by
FIRE. Within the week just past the
reverend gentleman celebrated the com
pletion Of the twenty-fith year
OF his pastorate. And now for
the fourth time he will have
to undertake again the erection Of
another house OF worship. All the dif
fculties he has overcome have now TO
pe encountered once again and the
hardest work OF his life is probably be-
fore him just as be enters on his second
quarter century as pastor of this
church. The twenty-five million people,
in all parts Of the globe, whom DR..
TALNAGE's sermons are said to reach
each week, will sympathize with him
and with his congregation in their mis-
fortune.
A new Tabernacle will doubtless rise
above the ashes OF the last one and
after life Of arduous labor, crowned
with the greatest earthly success, the
eminent divine will close his services on
earth in the handsomest building Of all
that he has preached in.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.

Now that Ex-Governor WILSON has
fully determined TO enter the race for
the United States Senatorship to sue
coed Senator CAMDEN, as indicated by
the REeIsTER's special telegram from
Charleston, spirited contest may be
expected. The ex- Governor never goes
intoa race unless he goes in to win,
and no more vigorous campaigner was
ever known in West Virginia politics
than he. He is we'll known all over the
State as splendid stumper and good
organizer, and has a very large follow
ing, so that his candidacy will give TO
Senator CAMDEN a very formidable OPP
ponent. Governor WILSON will open
his campaign in few days, and ere he
closes it the hills and valleys OF every
county in the State will have echoed
and re-echoed the words OF eloquence
and political wisdom always heard when
Governor WILSON talks. The Governor
is thoroughly posted upon the political
topics OF the day, and no one can do
more to arouse enthusiasm among the
party In this State than he, aud whether
he is nominated for the Senate or not,
his candidacy will result in strengthen
ing the party's ranks and giving it en-
enlargement.

The Belmont county officials had
hard day Of IL yesterday. Their usually
peacefuI and quiet county was threat
ened on the same day with prize
fight and game Of Sunday base ball.
Either one OF these Was enough to dis
turb the equanimIty Of the good peopls
Of the county, but both together set the
county into quite a furors Of excite
ment Early in the morning, before the
break OF day, force Of deputy sheriffs
and police officials started out to guard
the eastern border of the county and
prevent the prize fight scheduled, as
they thought to occur in Belmont
county. Securing hand car they pa
troled a dozen miles or more Of the
county's river front and kept the pugil-
lists out, but il was hard work aud kept
the officers on duty most Of the day.
The Bridgeport bail game was pre-
vented by officials after three thousand
persons had collected TO witness il, and
every one Of them was sent home dis
appointed. The crowd insisted on see
ing the game and declared it should be
played. The officials said it should not
be, and 10 wasn't,
Whatever may be thought Of Sunday
base ball or the prize ring, the Belmont
officers are to be commended for the
faithful manner in which their duty
was performed and the violation OF the
laws prevented These sports were
prohibited by the laws Il was their
duty to see the law enforced and they
did right to do II

BRADFoRD, PA, May 13.-The bar
rel house at Emery's Refinery, in this
city, took fire this afternoon, presum-
ably by spontaneous combustion, and
was destroyed. The loading racks and
five oil tank cars standing on side
track OF the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg road, were also burned. The
fire was fierce one and attracted i'm
mense crowds of people from all over
this locality.
While the firemen were making final
stand, and thousands OF people were
watching them, there was tremendous
explosion. A tank-car holding 400
gallons OF benzine, had let go with a
mighty roar. Fortunately the burning
benzine, which was flung into the air
in sheets OF liquid fire, had consumed
itself before settling down over the
crowd.
The explosion was followed by a panic
that cannot oe described in words.
Blind, unreasoning, pitiless instinct OF
self-preservation showed itself, and
THE WEAK WENT DOWN
before the strong in multiples OF cases
10 tho frantic rush TO escape what
seemed to threaten horrible death. In
the stampede, men as well as women
and children, were thrown down aud
troddeR over by the flying masses that
snrged up from behind.
Thirty-fve Of the fremen were burned
so that the skin peeled off their faces
and hands and the hair was singed off
their heads and faces OF the many
others who are slightly burned there is
no record, and the total number OF
those burned and injured in the STAN
pede will probably reach hundred
persons. With all the suffering this
FIRE will cause, the property loss will
not exceed 1000.
Matt Behsn, refinery employe, with
oil soaked clothing, was standing close
behind the car when the big tank let
20. The conclusion felled him as If he
had been struck with sledge, and in a
fash his clothing was
ABLAzE FROM HEAD TO FOOT.
He coolly rolled in the grass until the
fire was put out, although he was badly
burned. Then he sprang to the assist
ance of companion who was also pill
lar Of fire, but who had less presence OF
mind.
Mrs. Emma Wheaton and Mrs. P.
Smith were carried down in the rush,
trampled under foot, and have sustain
ed dangerous injuries. John j. Crosby's
ears are burned to charred crisp and
his hands were roasted. He is fore
man of the Whitney Hose Company. c.
A. Coleman is very badly burned about
the face, neck and hands, and bis lungs
are affected from breathing the fire.
The following named fremen were
badly burned and are under the care OF
physicians: John Meeker, Edward Nc
Graw, James DoughertY, VIM. Stewart,
Edward Gardiner, Robt. French, John
Carr, Charles Coleman, Bert Coleman,

a critical condition resulting from their
burns.
