REN MILFORD, JR.

Scrappy Bill and his band didn't win yes
terday: they didn't have n chance. Rain,
as usual. interfered with their arrange>
ments and allowed Buck Ewings Astonish-
ing Braves to escape a throw down.
Buck was lucky: the Senators are loaded
for him and his red-legged crew, and are es-
pecially hungry for victory after the faux
pas at Pittsburg Wednesday.
1t goes terribly against scrappy's grain TO
take beating on a close score, but to suf-
fer shut out at 10 to 0 Omusthaveput him
on the verge of a frenzy, and Woe be untothe
umpire who next crosses his path. A"dou-
bic header" that is two games, will be
played at Cincinnati this afternoon.
The good pla ying OF Jack Crooks and
Jimmy Rogers is manifest in the last pair
OF games put up by Louisville both of
which the Colonels have cinched in easy
style They licked the Quakers in good
style yesterday and had runs to burn at
the close of the contest.
That there are others in the shut-out
class one has only to consult the Cleve-
land Baltimore score. Patsey's Spiders
didn't do thing to the champions but
lay nine great big goose eggs in their path
while they piled up seven runs.
doctor PonI was the victim and honest
old Cy Young bore off the palm of Con-
quest. 1t was certainly a bitter pill for
Baltimore But the result was not such
a surprise after all, as Hanlon's men al
ways quit before the Clevelands.
A funny thing was st. Louis defeat OF
the Btstonians. 1t was coming pretty
tough for the Beaneaters when Louisville
beats them one day and the Done Browns
repeat the dose the next. 1t was the first
game ST. Louis has won out of the last
fifteen played. 1t was about time for
them to do som ething

the game.
Chicago had cherry pie in Arthur 1rw'n's
.shit and run" Giants. The Colts all hut
shu. out the FreedmaDites with AdOnis
Terry on the slab.
Cleyeland's defeat of baltimore gave the
scrapping Westerners frrper hold on first
place and Philadelphia's loss to Louisville
allowed the Senators to slip very Snugly into
seventh position. The good fortune of the
Senators was also shared by Bucks Braves
wboclimbed over Baitimoreintosecondp
bv one point in percentage. The standing
of the other clubs remains the same. A
number of the leaders are neck and neck
with one another and today's results VIII
witness a change all around.
Louisville is right on the heels Of st
Louis and should the latter lose and the
Colonels win this afternoon the plucky Ken
tuckians will push the Done Browns to the
bottom. Let us hope SO.

From the Chicago Convention.

Canton, o., July 9.-The proceedings of
the Chicago convention, which came by
special wire to Major Mckinley's resi-
dence, seemed TO be viewed with much
compiacency by the Republican candidate.

the disturbing effect they might have upon
the business of the country.
A committee OF Cleveland gentlemen
called on Major Mckinley today to inform
him that the Foraker Club OF that clty,
several hundred in number, would come TO
Canton Oh Saturday to tender their con-
examinations Several other delegations
are expected next week.
There were a large number OF callers at
the Mckinley residence today ana among
them francesca Guardabassi, the ltaIlan
PAINTER, who also has an excellent voice
and who sang some campaign songs for
Major Mckinley.
When Major Mckinley was shown the
press dispatches from Chicago this evening
announcing that the Washington CORE

their way East, his face lighted up pleas

A SOUTHERN MARVEL.

Immense crowds are visiting the late
residence of Jeff Wallis. a prominent
planter. in the Killingsworth neighbor-
hood, in Bib county, twelve miles south
of Randolph, who died short while ago.
Mr.. Wallis had dropsy, and before he
died strange black spots appeared on his
body. After the funeral, when the room
in which was secured out black spots
were found on the floor under the bed ex.
actly corresponding to the spots on the
dead mans body, and no amount OF
securing would bring them out The
strangest thing is that the spots come
and go, and move from place to place
about the floor, and no matter where the
spots step they cannot be secured out. If
a plank is put down in the track of the
shadow as it moves across the floor, the
shadow does not show on the plank, but
jumps to the other side, apparently. This
phenomenon is causing n great deal Of
excitement, and people from three coun-
ties have visited the house and viewed
it. There is no denying the facts, and no
explanation has been found for the
strange spots.-Luzerne Journal.

The night was stormy; a wan moon rode
through masses Of black and gold swift
sailing clouds, through lakes of clear blue
space and threads of opal and silver flm
thus producing a wildly beautiful and i'm
pressive series OF sky pictures
Now and again the dim wet streets were
swept empty and dark by driving scud OF
rain and hail. then as suddenly flooded by
the clear, pale moonlight when the wet
hags and streaming runnels became a daz-

from houses and shops appear duller and

Few people were abroad, so that the stroll

an inverness cape, made echoes to accentu-

shout, or tlpsy song. or hoarse alteration

Nothing escaped this mans observation

chapels and the few private houses, all ap-
peared to interest him, while the splendid
pageant Of the moving temptestuous sky
scarcely attracted glance from his pierre

postoffice attracted his gaze and drew from
him an expression of disfavor shared by
the brand-new red brick Corn Exchange
in the depreciating syllable-new
