ton may enjoy Uncle Adrian's antics upon
the ballneld. Between Anson's perennial
youth and his success in developing star
ball players he seems to have some grounds
for his prOnered wager, but scarcely at that
margin. Possibly there is a general re-
1uctance to tempt the old man by a desire
to save him $500 to remain on the diamond
another quarter of a century.
Anson is not losing any of his spiritual
fire If he is getting a bit stiff In the joints.
That he proved before 10. 600 Chicago spec
tators recently, when he went up against
Peitz during a game in regular upper cut
give and take order. In his long career as
a ball player it was Arson first fight with
fists upon the diamond.
Burkett scored his one hundredth base
lit on June "a, being the first player in
America to accomplish the feat for 1896.
This indicates that his title of champion
batsman last season was not a fuke, as
many skeptical people pretended to believe.
Batting is to a great degree science, and
Burkett has reduced his stick work to
principle He never swings at the ball with
a vicious sweep, but nearly always just
meets it with the bat. 1t is a notable fact
that most of the champion left handed bats
men secure majority of their hits in left
field. This is true of Burlzett Hamilton,
Keller and ChiIds. The reason they bat Sc
often to left field is because they play for
that spot by meeting the ball a triAe Late
and not swinging so hard-just meeting it.
The left handed batsmen who swing with
all their force and try to pull the ball
around to right are sure to get the worst
of it. The field can "lay' for them, and
they bat more fly balls. Herman and Van
Haltren this year have changed their style
of hitting to the Burl1ett- Keller plan and
are greatly profted thereby.
Speaking of Keller reminds me that on
the day when the Louisville club gave to
Treadway his unconditional release Keller
made a single, triple and a home run.
Yet three years ago the president of the
Brooklyn club traded Keller for Treadway
and chuckled because he believed he had
got the best of Ned HanlOn. Baseball is a
queer business. 0. P. CATLoR.

How "soorohers" Spoil Club Runs.

In recent issue of The Wheel an old
clubnan makes a vigorous protest against
"scorching" What makes me sore on
those scorchers, said he, ''is the fact they
are responsible for robbing me of a feature
of cycling used tosenjoy very much-club
runs know people say the riders of to-
day no longer care to go of in a body and
proceed at a steady, easy going gait, but
the riders Of today would be no different
from those Of five or ten years ago if it
wasn't for those scorching nuisances.
When two or three begin to scorch on a
run, the second raters, or the nonscorch-
ers, as they would call themselves, begin
to scorch as well No man likes to be left
while he has any go left in him You
know it, and Sc do L
"And yet you hear people wonder why
there are not more club runs. Well, the
scorcher is the reason just as sure as you
and are here. 1t is shame, but that does
not keep it from being a fact, just the

to fattiness ever made good ball players.
Childs is probably the best example of the
exceptions, though Cartwright Clements,
Griffin and Lyons may be classed with him

a few other old timers made regulations on
the diamond in spite of their fat.
Those players who are inclined to &C

MOBBED AND ARRESTED,
Herr Ahlwardt Gets a Rather
Lively Reception at

Locked Up on Charge Of Carrying a
Concealed Weapon and Disor-

HOBOKEN, N. j., April 6-Herr Ahl-
wardt, the anti-Semitic member of the
German Keichstag, who has been lectur-
ing in the United States for some months,
and who was handled rather roughly in
New York some time ago at meeting he
was addressing, was mobbed tonight by
Hebrs ws in this city while on his way TO
Germania Hail.
Ernest Freido OF Brooklyn, editor of a
paper, said to be published by Ahlwardt,
was in the party and had his Jaw smashed
by the crowd.
Ah1wardt and Freido were arrested ana
locked up together with several others.
Detective Quinn picked up pistol which
he says was in the hands of Ahlwardt dur
ing the scrimmage. Ahlwardt was not in
jured beyond few bruises. Ahlwardt
was released on $100 bail. The technical
charges against the 'Jew-b batter" are car
rying concealed weapons and dsorderly
conduct

mis- SHAPS ON A MOUNTAIN,
Thrilling Accidents Attend the
Opening of a Railroad
in Wales.
An Engine Goes Over Precipice and
Cars Are Smashed, but Life
Is Not Lost.

LONDON, ENG, April 6.-What might
have proved a more serious ccident ee-
Cured to-day on the railway from Liam
berris at the foot of Mount Snowdon, the
highest mountain in Wales, to the top Of
the mountain. The railway was inaugur-
ated to-day.
The first train reached the summit with
out mishap, but when returning the engine
jumped the track on part of the line
where the grade was the steepest. The
engine went over a precipice and was
broken to pieces. As it left the rails the
coupling broke, and it was that alone that
prevented frightful accident.
The engineer and stoker jumped and es-
capped. The cars ran down the grade at a
tremendous speed. but as fortunately they
were supplied with the most powerful
brakes they were checked in their speed
and brought to standstill.
In the meantime some of the persons
aboard the train lost their heads, and
without needing the warnings to them,
jumped from the cars. They were all Sc
verely injured.
From some cause not yet made clear a
second train that was descending the
mountain crashed into the rear OF the
runaway train and smashed car into
kindling wood. Just prior to the crash
the occupants of the car had quilted it.

Victory for Republicans in the
Municipal Elections of

Mckinley and Bradley Running a
Close Race for Delegates
in Kentucky.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, April 6.-Township
and municipal elections were held through
out Ohio to-day in nearly all the cities and
townships of the State. The election seems
to have been quiet, with a light vote ex-
cept in smaller municipalities, where local
issues made the contests close and hard
fought. Returns indicate a general Re.
publican victory.
DETROIT. MICH, April Collections
were held throughout Michigan to-day.
Unusual interest was manifested in the
elections, and very large vote was polled.
While the issues as rule were purely
local the Democrats generally developed
unlocked for strength, and in many coun-
ties that have gone Republican their ticket
had been elected in part.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, April 6.-Mayor Oil

in the city.
LEXINGTON, KY, April 6.-The lar
gest Republican County convention ever

one for Mckinley.

This contest was between the Bradley

counties. with 81 votes, and Mckinley five
counties, with 70 votes. Hart County (15)
was uninstructed.

demands a More Liberal appropriation
for San Pedro.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 6.-During
the debate on the river and harbor bill
representative McLachlan of California
managed to crowd the following into his
hali-mlnute speech:
Mr.. Speaker: I am opposed to the
motion of the gentleman from New York
to suspend the rules and pass this bill, for
the reason that if this course is pursued it
Will give no opportunity for any one to
oner any amendments to this important
measure making appropriations aggregat-
ing over $6O, 900, 900 Of the peoples money,
including continuous contracts provided
Tor therein. assume that the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors has faith in the
justice and merits of the bill that it has
presented here to-day, and, if l am right
IN thls assumption, that committee can
surely have no valid objection to submit
ting their Iabors and conclusions to the
deliberate judgment of this House and
give US reasonable opportunity to investi-
gate them for ourselves.
The members of this committee will
not claim to be infallible, or assume that
thelr judgment upon many features of
thls Dill is superior to that Of the whole
House. This bill is far from being satis-
factory to me or the people whom I repre-
sent. San Pedro harbor, the point in my
district where two great transcontinental
railroads touch the tidewater on the Pa
citc Coast, has received most miserly con-
sideration at the hands Of the committee,
Notwithstanding the most reasonable de-
hat 10 & 4 +
you to defeat this resolution to suspend
the rules and pass this bill SO that 1 may
have opportunity to present to the House
the merits Of our claim for San Pedro and
Southern California. Having had an op-
portunlty to do that, l must be satisfied
with the result. But if this resolution
prevails [ will have no opportunity to
present our case to the House, and must
submit to the wrong perpetrated by the
committee against an improvement that
deserves far better consideration than it
has received at the hands of the River and
Harbor Committee. There are other To-
calities that have similar grievances
against the provisions of this bill, and we
simply demand an opportunity to be
heard"
The fate Of Santa Monica and San Pedro
harbors in the Senate is now a matter of
speculation. Both California Senators will
try to have the 1892, 900 continuous con-
tracD appropriation made for San Pedro,
but if Huntington, through his man Frye,
chairman OF the committee, manages to
get Santa Monica into the bill again it is
considered doubtful whether Senators
White ab Perkins will fight the latter
provision if such action would endanger
the San Pedro appropriation. as it did in
the House. Boards of Trade. Chambers of
Commerce and labor organizations are
now wiring McLachlan to work for both
harbors.

certainly he has led the hosts of mug
wumps in the country for the last ten or
fifteen years. And Mr.. Roosevelt, that
New York mugwump, is second only to
Cleveland himself"
Allen commented on the dismissal OF
George D. Johnson from his office as civil
Service Commissioner and denounced
Cleveland's course in the matter. saving
that the President had wanted to "dicker'
with Mr.. Johnson by offering him the con-
sulate at Victoria. The spirit of civil SER
vice reform, he said, had run wild. 1t had
gone to the very verge of idiocy. Ihere
was no difference between Cleveland De-
mocracy and goldbug Repuplicanism.
Allen revived some of the election stories
of 1892, how Wall-street men raised
$500 900 towards the nomination OF Mr..
Cleveland and afterward raised like sum
for the election of Mr.. Harrison.
Gray (D.) of Delaware asked how much
had been raised for the election OF Nc
Kinley.
Allen replied that he had not read the
latest evidence about Mckinley. He men
toned the case of Mr.. Van Allen, who, he
snid, had contributed $4,000 toward the
election of Mr.. Cleveland and had been re-
warded by an appointment as Minister to
Italy. He also spoke of 1.-THE great and
good Wanamaker, superintendent OF Sun
day-schools," who had given $4,000 for
the election of Mr.. Harrison and had been
rewarded with the postma ster-general-
ship.
The Presidential Office was set upon the
auction block and sold to the men who
Rut Whpn If
came to a fourth.class postoffice civil
service reform had to be insisted upon.
Hawley (R. of Connecticut said he took
it for granted that neither the Senator
from Nebraska nor any other man in the
world supposed that John Wanamaker
gave $40O, 900 to make Mr.. Harrison Presi-
dent, and he did not believe that any
Democratic Senator supposed that Mr..
Harrison had gone into any such contract.
White (D.) of California opposed the
postoffice consolidating as ga great post
office trust, which would lead to great
deal of trouble"
After further debate it was arranged
that the vote should be had at o'clock
tomorrow.
The House bill granting pension of
500 a month to John M. Thayer was
passed; also giving pension OF $50 a
month to the widow of Charles A. Hick-
man; also bill to provide for the contin-
uance in office of customs officers and as
sistant treasurers until their successors
shall have been qualified.

announcing the passing by that body of
the concurrent resolutions on Cuba. and
~ !, y ,e n1,,
ported that the conference committee had
