The Maroons made a mighty effort to

closed with the home team two runs short,
as the visitors made three runs In the last
half of the eighth on IN error, single and
Crisham's second home run.
The Newports played . snappy game
after the first inning and are clever lot Of
ball players. Although Hawley was touched
up in rather lively fashion at times he did
not lose his head, and taken altogether
played good ball. Crisham behind the bat
and Kelley on first played an excellent
game. In the third inning Dinsmore made
a sensational catch of q hot liner from
Whiting, completing pretty double play.

Or1ne shall bo retired from stud service
for this season at any rate. About Or1ne
himself there was great excitement during
his turf career. Shortly before the Derby
all England rang with the report that
Orme had been poisoned, and the rumor
wns not only confirmed but fercely and
persistently asserted by the Duke Of West
minister. The absolute facts were never
positively ascertained but eminent veter-
inarians contended that the trouble was
not due to poison, but diseased teeth.
Or,ne Is the son Of the still moro famous
O-monde, also victim of insanity.

A CLOSE FINISH.

Providence Defeated by Syracuse by One
Run for the Second T,me.
Providence and Syracuse had another
close struggle yesterday afternoon which
resulted in well-earned victory for Syra-
cuse. The game was contest worth wit
Messing. The Grays led the game for seven
innings, having made two runs In the first
inning, and Syracuse one Until the eight n
inning neither side could score. The
Stars took batting streak, and Lezotte
wound up the performance by a home run
which added four runs to the Syracuse
score.
In the ninth inning Providence made a
great effort TO win the game and Il looked
for time as though they would. Lampe
gave the first three Providence ba ters
their bases on balls. Smiths error at third
let In one run, and long fly to left field

Married 20 Three Women
Boston, May S.--A Globe special from
Rutland. VT. says that Stephen Pack
ard. aged 81, has been arrested at Poult-
ney on bigamy charge. II is alleged
that ne married Emily Benson at Fair
haven Nov. .. 1862 and at the same time
had q wife living at Whitehall, N. Y,
only six miles from wife No. 2. A third
woman. Margery l.. Rose, who lives at
Tfnmouth, few miles away, claims to
be wife No. 8. All three of the women
were acquainted with each other.
Temptation to Jockeys.
Trainer MoCafferty tells how easy IL
would be for heavy bcttor to influence
jockeys through the medium of gift to
ono jockey. "A man does not have TO con-
troll boy OF ask him to commit fraudu-
lont act," said McCaffcrty. "All no
would have TO do would bc to say to boy
riding horse, II you win, 1 will give
you $1,000 The boy accepts. There are
probably only two apparent contendcrs In
the race. The boy who has accepted the
offer will mt once interview the jockeys
who ride tho two contcnding horses, and
IL Is possible for them to link their chances
together to win the %, 900 offered. 1 don't
say that the jockeys would pull their
mounts to allow the named horse to win,
but IL is Just among the possibilities that
they would pull out from the fence and
give the boy who had been offered the
money "A chance TO win, which would be
nine times out of ten"

respective teams and were evenly matched

excellent, and but one OF the four errors
made was costly. This was made by New

The game was won In the 18th inning by
hit by Davis over the leftfield fence with
two men out. In the tenth inning the
same player missed home run by about
foot. The ball was caught of the fence

WOULD BUY CUBA.

Insurgents willing to Pay 100000, 900
for Their Freedom-want Uncle Sans
Z Assistance.
WASHINGTON, March 22.--The plan
of President Cisneros and Gen. Maxine
Gomez to purchase the freedom of the
island Of Cuba is being followed up by
the Cuban representatives in this coun-
try. 1t lis learned on good authority
that the recent visit to this city Of
Estrada Palma, the Cuban delegate to
the United States, was for the purpose
of pressing the purchase idea. His
plan is said to be to obtain
the introduction and passage
through congress of a joint reso-
luton setting forth the willing
ness of the Cuban patriots to buy their
Independence by assuming the present
war debt and the deficit existing since
the termination of the ten years war,
and urging the executive department
of this government to use its good
offices to secure from Spain the accept
ance of this offer, 50 favorable to this
country. The suggestion is that II the
congress Of the United States should
adopt such q resolution it would be q
sufficient incentive to induce the prssi-
dent TO bring the proposition before
Spain as that favored by the people of
the United States. The amount of the
debt which the Cubans should assume
is about 800, 000, 900.

FITZ is CHAMPION.
He Gives Corbett q Heart Blow In
the Fourteenth Round.
The Contest Was Great One and the Best
Man Won-Corbett Had the Best
of the Fight Until the
Last Round.

CARSON, New, March 1s.-Robert
Fitzsimmons is the champion pugilist
OF the world. He has claimed the title
for over a year, but yesterday he
demonstrated his right to it in
fair fight. He met his one great rival,
James J. Corbett, in the squared cir
Gle, and in the 18th round he knocked
him out" 1t was a gallant battle,
and the best man won. The VIC
tory was not gained without strug-
gle. In fact, victory did not seem
possible for Fitzsimmons until the last
moment Of the battle. Many had
thought he was slowly going to pieces,
but when the opportunity came he had
been watching for the end of the fight
came almost in single blow.
When Corbett finally arose with the
assistance of his attendants and recov-
cred sufficiently from his dazed condi-
ton to realize the calamity that had
