The idea of paying a syndicate to

BASE BALL.
The Champions Win the Pennalt
and Will Retain their Title
Other Games.

About 5000 people, the largest
crowd that ever witnessed a game
on Hagerstown grounds, journeyed
out to see the Champions win the
pennant on Tuesday. Their oppo-
nents were the Chambersburg Ma
rooms. The game started with
Schoenhut in the box for Chambers
burg, and he was knocked out in the
fourth inning and Dickson took his
place. Pond and Bowerman were
the battery for Hagerstown. At the
conclusion of the game Mayor Kee-
dy, of Hagerstown, stepped for
ward, and in an interesting adj
dress, presented to the Champions
the Globes pennant,afte which PAN
demonium reigned. A more formal
celebration took place later in the
evening, in the form of a street
parade, with the players and the
officers Of the Association and 9th
ers prominent in base ball matters,
were driven about the citysin open
carriages, with the First Hose Drum
Corps leading. A number of private
vehicles and cabs, containing enthu-
siasts, were in the procession, and
one young man, with blackened face
and covered with Maryland colors,
made the trip afoot. Colored lights
were burned from the carriages along
the route of the procession.
Martinsburg defeated the pennant
winners of Hagerstown, at Morgan's
Grove, Wednesday, in the presence
of a large crowd of people. The
score was % to IL, and was a regu-
lar smuggling match from beginning
to end. The grounds were not in
good condition for playing, the in
field being very rough, and when
ball was hit on the ground, the run
ner was sure to reach first. Osbourne
started to pitch for the Champions,
but he was batted so hard that he
gave way to Eustace, who Jared lit
tic better, although he held the Gu
ban Giants down TO six hits about a
week ago. Keller and Baker did the
twirling for Martlnsburg.
The second game of base ball at
Morgans Grove, between Hagers-
town and Martinsburg, on Thurs
day, was q dull and tame one. No
one seemed to have any vim, and
when Hagerstown got six runs off
Hines in the first inning, Martins
burg didn't seem to care to play at
all. The score was II to 2.
Carlisle did not play the postponed
game with Martinsburg, defrauding
the Association in that place out of
the receipts it would bring. The
game cannot now be played nor can
Martinsburg be recouped the loss
inflicted.-Repository.
Today, at Hagerstown, the last
game of the season will be played be-
tween any of the clubs, and Martins.
burg and Hagerstown will play off
the tie for the silver cup.
Baltimore is certainly fighting
hard for the National League pen
nant, and Cleveland is determined
to play for the Temple Cup, if they
don't get the pennant.
Hagerstown defeated Carlisle on
the latter's grounds Saturday, by a
score of I to 2. Cain pitched for
Hagerstown and Fertch for Carlisle.
The league is over for 1895, but
we hope ct the Champions,
Maroons aA0 oults next year as pen.

The Union Pacific Is Making a
Hard Fight.
MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED
An Appeal From Judge Gilbert's Order
Concerning the Issue of Re-
ceivers' Certificates.

Portland. Or. June 15.-As the Ore
gon Short Line receivership case pro-
crosses it becomes more entwined with
legal technicalities. Yesterday Mr..
Snow, who is one Of the attorneys of
the Union Pacific receivers, secured an
order from Judge Bellinger permitting
an appeal from the decision of Judge
Gilbert concerning the issue of certifi-
Gates to the amount of s764.335 by the
consolidated mortgage bondholders OF
the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern company. This would have
sent the case to the court of appeals at
San Francisco, but after Judge Bellin-
gen had given the order yesterday he
revoked 1t, remembering that he had
promised to permit the attorneys for
the separation to argue the question
Mr.. Snow came into court this morning
to again move for an appeal. Senator
Dolph was on hand for the American
Loan and Trust Company. and the two
came together in a very spirited argu-
ment. Judge Bellinger took the matter
of appeal under advisement.
The Union Pacific did not desire to
appeal to the circuit court of appeals
from Judge Gilberts order appointing
Egan receiver. for this would be an adj
mission that the American Loan and
Trust Company could appeal from
Judge Merritt's order appointing Mr..
Bancroft, so the Union Pacific is en-
deavoring to get the case into the cir
cult court of appeals on the question Of
receivers certificates.

BLACK FLAGS THREATEN MURDER
Foreigners on the Island OF Formosa
Fear for Their Lives.

Fear for Their Lives.
Hong Kong. June LIT is stated
that the Black Flags are threatening
to cause serious trouble in Formosa,
and foreigners on the island are in
critical condition. In view of these
facts the commander of the British
cruiser Spartan has landed a detach-
ment of marines and the British cruiser
Rainbow has left here for the scene of
the trouble. The japanese cruiser ap-
preaching An Ping was fired upon
without effect.
A DIFFERENT STORY.
Washington, June 1.-THE Japanese le-
cation today received an official dispatch
from the foreign office summarizing the
status of affairs in the island of Formosa
as follows:
"At Tai Phu Flu and Tamsui, the two
large cities in the north, all disorder is
at an end and peace established. The Jap
anese have put into operation civil
system of administration. German ma
rines were landed at the cities mentioned,
but have now been withdrawn. The for
eign settlers are now under the entire
protectnon of the Japanese army and CT
vii officials"
The mention of the establishment of a
civil system shows that martial law,
which was in operation when the Japanese
fleet and army first arrived. has given
place quickly to an orderly municipal
system. No mention is made of the re-
ported uprising of the Black Flags.

Among those who arrived today was r.

he said Minnesota has a candidate in
the person of Senator Gushing X. Da-
Wis, and while he was net a leader in
the race Minnesota republicans hope
matters will so shape themselves before
next year as to mako his nomination
possible.
In regard to the question whom he
considered the strongest candidate in
the race at present, Evans said: NC
Kinley is by all odds the strongest can

longest His character and record are
such that he will stand the test, no mat

LAWSON WAS CONVICTED OF MURDER
viii Probably Hang for the Brutal Stay
ing of George Watson.

Boise, June 15.-Paul p. Lawson has
been convicted OF murder in the first de-
gree at Challis for the murder of George
w. Watson and sentenced to hang en-
July &C. The tragedy occurred at Hous-
ton May 10 and was peculiarly brutal
The victim was shot In the back with
buckshot and the murderer stood over the
corpse for fourteen hours, refusing to per-
NIT anyone to come near. Then an inquest
was held by friendly justice and it was
found that the deed was done in self-de-
Tense. This was quickly overturned when
the authorities got at the matter. Tie
trial OF Lawson began last Saturday and
was concluded Thursday evening, the
jury returning verdict at / o'clock yes
terday morning after being out less than
an hour. Lawson was a member of the
legislature two years ago.
An interesting feature of reporting the
result of the trial was the utilization of a
bicycle to carry the news. Special dis
patches to the Statesman were carried
over the mountain range from Challis to
Ketchum on a wheel, a distance of 30
miles, in less than IL hours.
