Edgewoods Win.

The Edgewoods won we'll played
baseball game Saturday afternoon from
the Mt. Peasants on the Edgewood
grounds. The star fielding of Cottrell
was the prominent feature of the game
although Bronson and Platt did fine
work, Platt's hitting being very oppor-
tune. The Mt. Peasants fielded well,
with the exception of Lines, but were
unable to bat Sedgewick. Chadwick
made several fine stops, and Mooney
caught a great game, saving Fessem-
den four wild pitches. The umpiring
was adverse to the Mt Peasants.
The Edgewoods would probably have
won, but the score would have been
much closer had the Mt. Peasants
been given their deserts. The fielding
of the Edgewoods was marred by only
a single error.

in Chicago.


in Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. S-A local paper SAYS
A gigantic deal is on foot, which IL car
ried out will revolutionize street traffic
in the heart of Chicago Within sixt,
days at the farthest, it is said, an ordi-
nance will be introduced in the city
council providing for complete system
of subways on the arcade plan, travers.
ing streets and alleys on the south side
between Twelfth street and the river
and between Clinton on the west side
and Lake Michigan.
This is a heavily backed project, in
which Boston and Philadelphia capital
is said to have joined hands with lead
ing Chicago financiers 1t is asserted
that $500,000 in cash will be deposited
with a Chicago trust company by Oc-
tober l for the preliminary expenses of
the company. This project is supple
mentary to the Union Elevated loop,
and according to it's promoters, some of
the same capitalists interested in the
loop have agreed to join in making the
subway PROJECT a success.
The Union loop will take care of the
elevated traffic only. The subways are
for the use of the surface roads, and
if the plans of the promoters are car
ried out there will not be cable, cleo
tric or horse car line on the streets be-
tween Twelfth street and the river
within five years.
The plan is to provide subways for
the use of all surface lines entering the
business portion of the city.
The ordinance of the company will
provide that the motive power in the
subways shall be electricity or some
other clean, noiseless system, and that
the lighting, ventilation and other ac-
cessories shall be perfect
Some Boston capitalists, who left the
city yesterday after studying the sit
uation in Chicago for several days, are
quoted as saying that the subway pro-
ject is already financed and that the
bulk of the capital would come from
Boston and Philadelphia. The ordi-
nance for the subway company will
provide that construction shall be be-
gun within one year from the passage
Of the ordinance, and that the whole
system shall be completed within FIVE
years. The city will be given the right

The Cotton Crop viii Fall and Prices
Likely to Rise.


New Orleans, Sept. S.-Hector D.
Lane, president of the Cotton Growers
Protective association, has issued a
circular to southern cotton growers, in
which he says that the cotton crop is
below the average. All possible causes
except frost are combined to produce
this result. Mr.. Lane ventures the opin-
ion that this crop cannot in any event
exceed 100000 bales, while 6,500OO0
bales is by no means improbable. He
declares that belief on the part of the
consumers that the crop is likely to fall
below 100000 bales would result in a
material advance i'm the price of cotton.
He advises the growers not to rush
their cotton to market, but to husband
it and sell it only when the spinners
need it. In this way, Mr.. Lane says,
the growers will get what their cotton
is worth.
