Eleven errors marred the beauty of the
last game of the year, between the Cham
pions and the second place team here, to-
day. McMahon's pitching was, however,
worth going miles to see. But one hit
was made off his delivery, a single by Nc
Kean over second base. Cleveland's only
tallies were made IN McGraw's error in
the first, and Kelley's muff of George
Tebeau's fly in the four0b. The othe,
errors by the home team were inexpen-
five, but caused the 500 persons on the
grounds to give evidence of their feelings.
When the Champions secured Il good lead
ia the seventh, the crowd ohcered itself
~hoaIse, and with one voice yelled: "The
pennant is ours!' Daring base running
distinguished the home teams work.
Cuppy pitched a good game with the ex-
ception of the third, seventh and eighth.
in which the only hits were made. His
support, however, WAS very yellow and a.
the finish he seemed to let up in his work
owing to the disouraging errors of the
fielders. Capt. Tebeau was put out of the
game in the sixth for using obscene
language toward Umpire Emslie. The
game was called in the eighth ON account
Of darkness, after Baltimore had scored
one rim. :

MURDER OF A MISER.
Henry BOnncka's Head Is Smas shed 10 n
jelly by Unknown Thugs Who Were in
Search of plnndcr.

Altoona, Pa, April 7.-Henry Bon
heka, aged 10 years, an eccentric Ger
man and reputed miser, was found
murdered this afternoon in q room he
occupied at 1902 Sixteenth street. Some
friends called upon Bonneka this after
noon, and receiving no response to their
knockings, looked through the window
of the room in which Bonneka lived.
They saw him stretched upon the floor
with his head battered almost to jelly.
and lying in pool of blood. The police
were notified and they broke in the
room door. On the floor was found n
bloody hatchet and club clotted with
blood and brains.
Bonneka had been employed for the
past twenty-five years in the shops of
the Pennsylvania railroad here. He
was almost recluse and lived alone
In one room. He was reputed to have
considerable money hidden in his room
and, as he was very abstemious in his
habits, and spent but little, the report
of hidden wealth was generally credit
ed here. That to possess the supposed
wealth of the aged German was the mo-
tive. for the crime Is evident from the
condition of the room. The pockets of
all Bonneka's wearing apparel were cut
out. the lining ripped open, the carpet
torn from the floor, and the mattress of
the bed cut to pieces.
1t is not known whether the murder
ers obtained any money, and there is
no clue to their identity. The coroner's
jury this afternoon rendered verdict
of murder by parties unknown.

GOVERNOR HAD A GUN.
As the Result of Disgusting Insults liz

Little Rock, Ark, April 7.-Governor
James p. Clarke and Representative w.
r. Jones, of Marion county, had an
alteration in the lobby of Gleason's s
hotel this afternoon, which came near
resulting in very serious affair. Yes
terday when the charges of bribery
were made in the house of representa-
tives against certain members in con-
nection with the railroad commission
bill, Mr.. Jones rose to a question of
privilege, and stated that Governor
Clarke was responsible for the charges
that he had gone about in the dark, like
an assassin with knife up his sleeve,
stabbing in the back men who were his
peers in every respect.
About o'clock this afternoon Gov
ernor Clarke called at Gleason's hotel,
where he met Jones in the lobby. He
requested a private interview with
Jones in order that he might have an
understanding with him. Jones replied
that he would go nowhere with him.
and that If he had any business with
him he could transact it where they
were. This angered the governor, and
he spat in Jones face. Jones spat
back at the governor, who drew a large
pistol, but was prevented from shoot
ing by several bystanders. Clarke was
arrested by constable, but was re-
leased on his own recogniZance. The
governor will plead guilty tomorrow in
a Justice court to assault

into the Wyoming National bank on
Friday last and asked the cashier IL ne

being informed that the bank was open

that he had $1,000 on deposit in the
Central National bank, of New York,
and would like to make draft for
that amount The draft was made and
Shaw subscribed the name of Ralph f..

Arms Against Russia-Swcdcn and Nor
way to Fight

way to Fight.
Berlin, April THE maturing con-
flict between Norway and Sweden has
given rise to strange reports in Berlin.
Since Tuesday it has been a common
statement that, should the two king
doms resort to force, Emperor William
would take UP arms rather than permit
the threatened Interference of Russia.
He is said to have promised King Oscar
as much. Although the official circle
discredits this report, the mere thought
of 1t has sufficed to fasten general at
tention upon the swift course of events
in the Scandinavian peninsula.
Yesterdays dispatches from Stock
holm, while not confirming the predic-
tions of war, describe the situation as
very serious. Russia's attitude Is in
doubt, but as usual she Is suspected of
designs upon Norway.
With the alarmist rumors of the EN-
peror's promise to King Oscar has
come batch of gossip as to the rela-
tions between St Petersburg and Ber-
lin. The two courts are supposed to be
less friendly now than few years ago.
The statement that the cZar and czar-
ina will not come to Berlin this year Is
regarded as additional proof of the es-
arrangement, although, as the czarina's
accouchment is expected to take place
early in September, it Is difficult to see
how the visit could be made even If
Russia and Germany were on the verge
of an alliance.

Results of Democratic Economy in

GRASPING INCOME TAX STRAWS
Sanguinc Democrats Hope the Tax VIII
Tide Over Affairs Until Congress
Again Assemblies - Decision
Auxiously Awaited.

washington. April From the last
daily statement issued by the treasury
Department it appears that the eXpen-
ditures for the current fiscal year 10
date. of $50 days, have exceeded the re-
ceipts by s42 o99, 400, the totals standing:
Expenditures, S2Si,S92 6S6: receipts,
$2a2. .O93, 1886.
These figures, which embody more
than three-fourths of the fiscal year,
show that the receipts are running at
the rate of SS65,oOO day and the ex-
penditures at the rate of Sl,0l5,0O0 a
day. If the same ratio obtains for the
balance of the fiscal year, the ac-
counts would stand: Expenditures.
$50. 475, 900; receipts. 1915, 900.
This would leave an excess of eNpen-
ditures over receipts of $55.O0O,O0O. The
expenditures are pared down to the
lowest limit of economy consistent with
fixed appropriations made by law and
are likely to be increased rather than
diminished. The increases in this fiscal
year have arisen from two principal
sources. viz. appropriations by the last
congress made Immediately available
and the quarterly interest payments on
the s165,000, 900 of United States bonds
issued within fourteen months to pro-
tect and strengthen the treasury gold
reserve. So far this month the eX-
penditures on the civil and miscel-
lareous" account. the account that car
ries the principal items mate immedi-
ately available by congress. are $500, 900
in excess of the corresponding period
last month.
1t is, therefore to increase receipts
that the treasury must turn to bring the
treasury receipts and expenditures
closer together and bear out the es-
innate laid before congress which
claimed that at the end of the fiscal
year the deficiency will then only be
$20,000,0O0.
Cause for Hope.
Important statistics yesterday made
public by the bureau of statistics hold
out hope that the increased revenues
from sugar duties may come up to the
estimates. Indications of a general re-
vival In commercial prosperity are also
pointed to as promising equally salts
factory results from other sources of
revenue. The question as to what
amount of money will or will not be de-
rived from the income tax seems to be
the only important doubtful factor left
In the treasury calculation, and this can
only be solved when the supreme court
makes public its decision in an au-
thoritative way. This will probably be
done tomorrow, but it is by no means
an absolute certainty that the decision
will be then rendered.
The treasury has now a total working
capital of s157OOOOOO, with S1S 1000, 900
still owing from the bond syndicate
Treasury officials therefore think that
the treasury will not become en-
barassed even if no revenue from the
income tax is derived, and that it will
not be necessary to issue any more
bonds before congress will assemble in
next December and provide revenue
from other sources.
