an exhibition OF umpiring that was
weird and startling. The gentleman
who of1ciated probably meant well
enough, but was easily confused and
exercised absolutely no judgment in
calling balls and strikes. The Maei-
clans were the chief sufferers from the
cratic decisions. In the second inning
three Tobacconists were sent to frat IN
balls and in each instance the base was
the gifs OF the umpire pure and simple.
Dunn was pitching speedy ball and
had fair control, but Mr.. Gaudipg could
see nothing but balls that inning and
the visitors were the bene6ciaries. Then
when the locals came to bat in the
third the strike" idea began working
in his mind and McKenna could have
thrown nothing but strikes If he had
tried. Two men had already been
called out when rain brought the trav..

Supposed to BE the Man Who Shst De-
tective Powers.
MCBAIN, Mich, Aug. 27.-George A.
Smalley, supposed to be one of the Chi
cago and West Michigan train robbers
and the man who shot Detective Powers
near Grand Rapids Thursday night, was
shot and instantly killed here. Smalley,
who is said to answer perfectly the de-
scription of one Of Powers murderers,
turned up here during the afternoon,
having dropped off Toledo and Ann
Arbor train. He acted rather suspic-
iously, and after some discussion the
marshal formed small armed party and
followed him to the outskirts of the
town, where, when he saw that he was
pursued, he broke into run. They
finally surrounded him in a small cabin.
Here Smalley turned and made a move
to pull pistol from his pocket. Before
he could do so, however, the marshal
fired, hitting Smalley in the breast and
killing him instantly. Smalley was
found to be heavily armed, and had con-
siderable money on his person.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Vice Com
mercial Agent Murphy, located at Lux
emburg, has sent to the state depart
ment a translation Of labor law which
has recently gone into effect in the
Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. The law
requires the payment of wages in cur
rent money. All other payments are
prohibited except that deductions are al,
lowed for rent Of land, lodgings and
food and for tools at cost
prices No deductions can be
made for alcoholic drinks furnished EN-.
ployes and no wages can be paid i'll
saloons, bar-rooms, stores or shops
Wages are required to be paid at least
twice month. Employers are for
hidden to impose upon employees condi
tions calculated to deprive them of the
right to dispose freely Of their wages
The law also limits the portion Of wages
which can be ceded to others or seized
1t does not apply to farm labOrers Or tt
servants remaining constantly i'll the
house of employers.

WORK OF BANDITS.
Chinese Version of the Massacre of Mis-

Chinese Version of the Massacre of Mis-
sionaries In the Orient.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Sam Moy, a
prominent Chinese merchant Of this
city, has received Il copy of Chinese
newspaper published at Foo Chow, tell
ing in four columns of the attacks upon
the missionaries in June. The paper Of
course, contains the Chinese version of
the affair, including the reasons given
for the beginning of the attacks which
hitherto We're supposed to have been
purely the results of religious fanati-
cism. A translation Of the principal
points of the Chinese review shows that
the attack Oh the mission houses arose
from motives of robbery.
According to this paper the mission
aries had built houses with easements,
something new in China. There is a
large camp of banditti near Ku Cheng,
composed of the wild tribes and fugi-
tives from justice from the civilized
parts Of Foo Kien. These banditti
heard of the peculiarities of the con-
struction Of the missionary houses, and,
conceiving that the easements Were in
tended to store treasures, the banditti
planned and executed the first raid fol
the purpose of robbery

He Need Not Return to Mexico, How

New YORK, Aug. 27.-A special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Matt w. Ransom of North Carolina will
be reappointed United States minister
to Mexico, and the president will thus
rectify the blunder made in the first ap-
pointment of Mr.. Ransom while he was
still member Of the senate. Whether
Mr.. Ransom will return to Mexico OF
not will depend entirely upon his own
wishes.
In deciding what to do in the matter,
Mr.. Ransom will be governed very
largely, if not entirely, by consideration
as to his health. If Mr.. Ransom finds
it advisable to decline the Mexican mis-,
sion, he will probably be offered some
other place, though none is now vacant
or likely TO become vacant in the neal
future that will compare favorably with
the mission to Mexica.
