lie Was tie ero of Wednesdays Came At
New Orl'an

NEW ORLEANS, LA, March &.-Ihe
local team gave the Orioles something OF
a scare wednesday afternoon when they
rolled up four runs in the second inninS'
after banking the Champions. Not one
of these was earned, as Bonner VINO WAS
nIaving third base in McGraw's place
was struck on the right hand 10y the iIISl
hall batted to him, injuring tAat mem

The New Orleans players, with an eye
to business. managed TO hammer the
sphere toward him, and though he stop
ned il. he could not get IL 10 irst rms
accounts for the errors charged against
him. After this he was at his own re-
ouest. transferred to left field, carey
coming i'm 10 third base. With this change
the run-getting ceased. Jennings mauc
two poor throws, and Brouthers dropped
a thrown ball but neither Of these proved
expensive. kisinger carried oil all the
honors. He not only batted like iiend,
but felded his position superbly. 1t is
something unusual for a pitcher TO be
credited with three hits ont of fonr times
at the bat, two of which were doubles,
and at the same time having two put
outs and nine assists. playing the game
without an erro.. Up TO the NTH inning
the Orioles could do very little with carl,
but then the fun began. IT was slam
bang until the close OF the game. The
locals went to pieces in the face OF this
cannonading, and allowed the Orioles TO
roll up runs at will. Kisirgers work was
the only feature of the game. Indeed, he
and Gleason appear 10 be the only pitch
ers who show any inclination 10 work.
'rhe others claim that they iare not yet
in condition. and are taking things rather
easy. Mcmahon is moving very slowly.
He continues to toss a few balls at prac
uce in the morning, but does not exert
himself. Hemming unhinged a tendon
while at Macon, but says he is getting
all right again. The locals only made
six hits of kisinger's delivery. kisinger
played with the Norfolk club OF the Vir-
ginia State League last season.

son OR ADOPTED son?

II is a fixed principle with The Times
never to interfere with cases pending in
a court, but we are compelled to ask,
through the tears that Mr.. Wendenburg's
pathetic appeal i'm behalf of the mother
of the "gold-brick" swindler floods our
eyes with. whether the question to be
tried i'm this case is one. the gravamen of
which is the feelings and sensibilities Of
Mrs. Parker alias Smith. alias, etc; or
one, the gravamen of which is the OUT
rage of the dignity of this Commonwealth
by such proceeding as took place here
when Withers was swindled? We think
the issue whichever il is, should be de-
fined and kept clearly before the mind.
If the question TO be tried is whether the
tender sensibilities Of a distressed moth
er shall engage the whole attention of
a court, that is one thing. If the question
to be tried is whether a man charged
with swindling, with the evidence against
him that has been produced against
Parker. is to be held in Jail a few days
longer for his trial. that is quite another
thing. The issue, however, whichever it
is, should be kept distinctly before the
mind, and not confused with the other.
Another question in which The Times
takes d deep interest is this: Is Parker,
alias Smith, alias etc, the son OF the
distressed lady. or her adopted son?

will run regularly this winter, leaving New
Orleans every Monday and Thursday. The
splendid train consists of one composite
car, two double drawing ten section

lor and compartment car. The latter car
is the latest creation of the Pullmans. In
the forward end of this car is an apartment
luxuriously fitted as parlor. Here for
the first time the ladies may enjoy the
same relaxation as do the men in the COM
poslte car. There are seven drawing
rooms following this room, capable of &C.
cupancy, single or en- suite, and equipped
with every luxury and convenience. The
distance between New Orleans, Los Angeles
and San Francisco will be covered at an
average speed of 3413 miles per hour. This
makes the train the fastest long-distance
train in the world.

TAMMANY TALKS BACK.
Dick Croker ErpEGi1is the System of Com
trfbsttions.


NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 31.-The Trib-
une this morning prints an interview with
Richard Croker in regard to the testimony
Of George S. Green, for many years the
Chief Engineer of the Department of
Docks, at the investigation which the
Commissioners are making in the admin
istration of the Dock Department. Mr..
Green testified yesterday that he was prac-
tically compelled to contribute two checks
of $125 each to Tammany Hall in order to
retain his position.
Croker emphatically denied that any
money Green might have paid to Tam
many was for the purpose of retaining
his position, and said that it was an ordi-
nary contribution to the campaign funds,
as many other contributions were received.
The names of some of these contributors to
Tammany would cause sensation if they
were made public.
Mayor Strong and the combination he
represents are using the Commissioners
accounts and $4,000 for campaign pur-
poses," said Croker. THE taxpayers will
have to pay for the Mayors amusement
later"
He bitterly denounced Pulitzer for the
stand the World had taken against Tam
many.

Allen Shepperd, general manager of the

twenty or more cities where he had
branch offices are mourning the loss of
various sums of money. Shepperd estab-
ished branch offices of his exchange-the

Kingston. Middletown, Yonkers, n orfolk,
Washington, Philadelphia, Buffalo, At

1t is alleged that he secured a local man
ager for each Office and required each one
to give a cash bond of from 500 to 5000.
Sheppard gave IN return his note at six
months for the amount. He secured in
this way, it is said about $1,000.
Last Friday he disappeared from this
locality. J. J. Van Auken and j. n. Clark,
managers of the Poughkeepsie and New
burg offices, have been in New York look
