Polo admirers to the number OF apou'
$50 witnessed an exciting game friu"S
evening in City hall between Roek'ah"
and Augusta, the former winning by
score of 5 to 4.
II was battle of the wielders OF the
stick. a typical biff bang polo game
with one little scrap on the side that
brought people to their feet with lhdie-
nation that, could it have been 1et ny
Mr. OMalley, would have taken MS
ha.d c,aan off his shoulders-pro tenn at
least.
IT came about, this way. Little
Molumpy of the Augusta team was
playing a great old game, and was all
around.
AS ne was flying past the cage on his
winged rollers. Goal Keeper OMalley
deliberately showed his stick between
his legs and tripped him up, or rather
down whereat the crowd howled with
diseust. Then did Molumpy rise from
the floor and with his 100 odd pounds OF
bone. muscle, grit and dignity
smite Mr.. OMalley with his polo stick.
The latter grabbed him and there was
a fight on. OMalley is heavy man,
and soon little Molumpy bent back over
the cage Then that crowd which had
simply howled at first with disgust
arose to it's feet and yelled. long ana
,oud,v in the deepest anger and indig-
nation.
The ball had meanwhile been knocked
70 the other end. The players gathered
around, and the poor abused Rock
land goal tender, was torn away out or
danger of Mr.. Molumpy's little fists
and escorted to safety by City Marshal
Morse.
Both men were put out of the game
by the referee 1t was clearly seen by
everyone in the hall that OMalley was
the cause of the whole business. and it
is even limited that he wanted to be

The week past has been a good one
for the theatre, a triumphant one for
the opera house, and a mediocre one
for the Lyceum. Mr. Burton had a
very lively set-to with Frederick Warde

Victims,
PITTsBuRG, Aug. 1O.-A land swindle,
by which residents of Pittsburg lost
S1o0, 600 and perhaps more, has come to
light. Requisition papers for the ar
rest of j. f. Van Smith, one of the
principals in the fraudulent transac-
tion, were issued by Judge Porter and
Van Smith was arrested Saturday in
Alexandria, Va.
Not only has the 100000 been lost,
but over 100 people who bought land
from Van Smith and built homes for
themselves are without title TO their
property and are liable to be dispos-
sessed The swindle was bold in con-
ception and in execution. Forged and
fraudulent deeds for western land, it
is charged, were exchanged for good
Allegheny county land, and the latter
was either sold or mortgaged for cash.
James w. and Joseph Breen, who
traded land in this county worth $29,-
600 for worthless deeds, have made in
formation against the men concerned
on the other side of the deal. Two of
them are supposed to be myths, and
the other two, it is expected, will be
arrested soon.

Arrest Of Three Men Who Made Fraud

CHICAGO, Aug. 1O.-One of the worst
combinations of swindlers that has
ever preyed on the American public
and whose operations have extended
over many years and involved many
states, has, it is believed, been broken
up by the arrest Saturday night of
James r, Mcclure, William Thomas
and j. |. Tallman, on the charge of
using the United States mails for
fraudulent purposes. Their New York
confederates are William Mcclure and
DR.. John Craig. For years these men
have conducted fraudulent schemes of
various kinds, under different firm
names, seldom remaining long in any
one locality, and have flched, it rs be-
lieved, fully $3.50, 900 from their dupes.
The earlier operations Of the gang
were in connection with fake lottery
scheme in Kansas City, Mo-, and later
in pretended connection with the Lou
isiana lottery, in which enterprises
they reaped rich harvests Lately they
have been engaged in so-called bucket
shop business in this city, using vari-
GUS aliases, among them being Pat
terson & Co.," Craig & Co., ,"'Thomas &

of bogus mining stocks to large ex-
tent. The three men arrested here

Fuller Details OF the Motor Car Wreck
Near Columbia, Pa, Add Greatly to Its
Horrtr.
LANCASTER. Pa, Aug. 1.-THE dis
aster on the Columbia & Donegal elec-
trio railway north of Columbia Sunday
night, is the worst that has occurred
in this county in many years Six per-
sons are dead and 90 injured, some of
whom are expected to die. The acci-
dent occurred at curve just north of
the borough limits of Columbia. The
exact cause will probably never be
known, the motorman being dead, and
the statements of passengers widely
differ.
A large crowd gathered at Chickies
park in the evening to enjoy a sacred
concert and escape the great heat.
The ill-fated car, closed one, was the
first to leave the park after the con-
cert and was packed in every part,
both platforms and aisle being crowd
ed. The trip was without incident
until the heavy grade just north of
Columbia was reached The car here
attained great velocity which the
motorman was unable to check. The
brake refused to work and the supposi-
tion is that the brake rigging broke.
Passengers were thrown from their
seats and as the lights went out they
were thrown into a panic. Several
jumped from the flying car and others
tried to do so as the last curve was
reached. Here the car left the track,
shot across the turnpike, a distance of
nearly 100 yards, crashed into train
and then tumbled into ditch 20 feet
deep.
The car was turned upside down,
and as the night was intensely dark
the situation was a frightful one. The
passengers who escaped severe injuries
received the less fortunate ones and
assistance was soon procured from
Columbia, the injured beng removed
to the hospital in the town, where
they received every attention.
Motorman Foehlinger, Henry Smith
and Willie Pinkerton were instantly
killed and Burgess Heise, of Columbia,
had his neck broken by jumping from
the flying car w. j. Ludlow, of Sea
Girt, n. j., died a short time after
being received at the hospital, where
Mr. Metzger also died.

Mr.. Bryan made a short speech.
Mr.. Bryan left Chicago for Pittsburg

o'clock last night Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
