of them I've given him two chances, and
had very narrow escapes both times. and
that lets me out" continued the Australian

there is not the same profit to the players in

Of the three games at Baltimore were $4,000,
which is less than the average paid in at

Although President 9ouns,s oticial aver

Jesse Burkett again leads the batsmen of
the National league. His unofficial standing
is SO good that 1t is hard to, see how he can

forth last fall that he won his proud rank In
1895 by a fiuke. Luck and lightning do not

Burkett is a great batsnan. Opposing pitch

doubling public must do as much now. Burk-
cit takes his place with Arson and Brouthers
as champion batsmen for more than a single
year. o. p. Caylor.

THE PARIS REACHES PORT.
Crossed the Ocean In Ten Days With
a Broken Shaft

u m
a Broken Shaft.
SOUTHAMPTON. Oct. lS.-trhe Amer
lean line steamship Paris. Capt. Wat
kins, from New York, Oct.y7. reached
her dock in this city at o'clock this
morning. She reports that at o'clock
a. m. on Oct. s, IN latitude 40 degrees.
As minutes north and in longitude 81
degrees west, while going at a mod
crate rate Of speed and in calm wealth
er. her starboard tail shaft broke. The
engines were Immediately stopped and
a boat lowered and an examina tion
made from which it was aseertained
that the propeller had been damned and
broken. The shaft was secured and the
ship proceeded with one engine There
was not the slightest uneasinesss
amongst the passengers over the turn
Of affairs and the officers were all per-
fectly cool. The North German LLOYD
steamship Fuerst Bismarck (Which ar
rived in New York on Oct. O. bringing
the first news that the Paris was dis
abled) was sighted two hours after the
ship had got under way again. The
Paris kept in the track of west hound
steamers during the voyange in order
to be reported and to be able to re-
quest aid if it were needed The wealth
er was moderate and fine throughout
the voyage, except on two occasions
when there were gales No cause is
assigned for the accident, but it is
thought to have been due to a flaw in
the shaft The passengers stated that
they had a pleasant trip and some ex-
pressed themselves as being sorry that
the voyage was ended. d All speak in
the highest terms of the GOODNESS and
seamanship displayed by the officers, in
whom they had the most complete con-
fdence. The daily runs made by the
ship were as follows: Oct. 8, 275 knots;
Oct. 9, 301; Oct. TO- 296; Oct II, 2e6; Oct.
u, 233; Oct. 13, 23e; Oct. IA, 25S; Oct.

Needless.
Crowds witnessed the arrival of the
Paris 1t was found that her shaft
broke about fifty feet from the screw.
The Fuerst Bismarck offered to tow
her back to New York, but Capt. Wat
kins declined the offer. =
During. the voyage efforts for the
temporary repair of. the shaft were
futile On Oct. Is thereuwas a terrific
gale which somewhat alarmed the pas
sengers, but Capt. Watkins easily re-
assured them. From the time of the
accident, the average speed Of the ship
was twelve and a half knots an hour.
The Paris was placed in the dry dock
tonight to undergo repairs

FOUND. RIFLED POUCHES
Detectives Think They Are Oh, the
Track of Train Robbers.

OMAHA, Neb.. Oct 1S-It is be-
lleyed that the scouts who are looking
for the robbers who held up the Union
Pacific fast mail train near Ogden
Wednesday are close upon their trail.
Chief Canada. Of the special service
bureau, received a telegram from one
Of the searching party saying he had
good reason to believe something good
would develop within a very short
time. The dispatch was sent from
that country last night. Another teIe-
gram was also received saving s79t
worth of checks and drafts had been
found IN q place where the registered
mail pouches had evidently been on
ened. The robbers must have opened
the pouches soon after leaving the
train, for the drafts and other letters
of no value to them were found in a
ccrnfield not far from Uintah. Some
OF the railroad officials are inclined TO
believe that the robbers after opening
the mail pouches. worked their way
back to Ogden. and are now in hiding
there or IN Salt Lake City.
