From the Baltimore SUM- today
Base ball is immensely uncertain. but to
all appearances the champions will have an
easier time of it this week than last After
today's game with the Reds come four
games with the st. Louis, and the week
will end with the opening game of the
Pittsburg series.
1t is thought to be an easy week but it
is the easy clubs that beat the Balti-
mores. Beware of overconfidence, Orioles.
Overconidence has lost many a game for
Baltimore.
Manager Hanlon said yesterday that he
felt very sanguine that his boys would get
that fourth flag.
We have been playing the strong west
ern clubs, Cleveland, Chicago and Cincin-
having four games each with Louisville
and 81. Louis and three with Pittsburg,
while Boston s playing Cincinnati Chi
cago and st. Louis.
We have steadily gained on Boston
lately, although playing the strongest west
ern teams. Our pitching force is just now
as good as any in the league and certainly
he last week or more, and I think it will
improve. The middle and latter part of
the batting list has been doing all the bat
tirg lately.

Wheelmen, representing President Pot
ter, of the League of American Wheel
men, and John w. Kelly, jr., represent

The signing of this alliance silences
the reports of i'll feeling and probable
war between these two powerful ath-

the old one and many points that caus-

DECISION In THE
COLEMAN CASE
Registers Report Is Sustained by Judge
Ashman.
BERTRAM COLEMAN IS LEFT OUT
Judge Ashman Rules That Evidence
Did Not Sustain the Point of Undue
Influence and, Furthermore, That
the Young Man Was Privileged to
will Property 10 whom lie Pleased.

Philadelphia, Aug. 13.--Judge Ash
man filed an opinion today in the Or
phans court dismissing the appeal of
Bertram Dawson Coleman from the
decision of the register. of wills, under
which there was admitted to probate
the will of the appellants cousin,
George Dawson Coleman, deceased.
Robert Coleman, deceased the faith
er of George Dawson Coleman, had an
interest in the Cornwall mines at Leb-
anon. Pa, estimated at from S3,OOO,-
900 to S5,OOO,000. The son, George Daw-
son Coleman, under his fathers VIII,
had the appointment or right to Will
agreed to portion of this. Under the
sons will everything was left to his
mother, Mrs. Rosalie Parent Coleman.
A large amount of litigation followed.
The appellant contended that the son
was unduly influenced by his mother
in the making of the will.
The family always lived in Paris.
The hearing in the matter took place
before Judge Ashman last May ana
vast amount of evidence was presented.
The court i'm it's opinion today reviewed
this evidence at great length and held
that the only issue presented by the
pleadngs was that of undue influence,
and that the evidence in support there
of would not be sufficient to sustain a
verdict against the will. The action or
the register in admitting the will to
probate was affirmed. Young Coleman
lived rather a fast life and had the hab-
it's of a spendthrft. In 1889 he married
Louise Ybanez after an acquaintance
of three months and he separated from
her four months after the marriage
Divorce proceedings were pending at
the time Of his death in 1891. He made
no mention of his widow in his will and
she joined as a party in contesting the
document, but her suit was dismissed.
The only other contestants were col
lateral relatives.
1t was shown in the evidence that in
consequence of a dislike for business
detail and to having dealings with law
yers ne conveyed his entire estate to his
mother in consideration of 100000 a
year during his life and an additional
100000 a year after marriage. Another
reason for conveying the property to
her as presented in evidence by the
mother was that he wanted to exclude
his cousin whom he disliked
The court, as stated, ruled that the
evidence did not sustain the point of
undue influence and furthermore that
the young man was privileged to will
the property to whom he pleased.

PROBABLY MURDERED.
Numerous Wounds Found on the Person
Of Peter Tyrpet, Who Was Supposed
TO Have Been Drowned.

Coroner S. p. Lonsstreet discovered
when he went to hold inquest on the
body Of Peter Tyrpet at Olyphant that
the man who was supposed to have
been drowned in the Lackawanna river
was probably the victim of foul play.
The Tribune yesterday told of the
body laying half submerged in the riv-
er under the old Hollenback railroad
bridge north of Simpson, in Fell town
ship. 1t was generally supposed that
Tyrpet had jumped from a train and
into the river.
Coroner Longstreet when he exam
ined the body yesterday found on the
back of the mans head near the top
centre q deep three cornered cash,
and the bridge of his nose, directly OPP
poste the first wound, was fractured
and the flesh cut. There was a big
brulse also on the right hip, a cut on
the forehead, and one over the left eye
The upper lip is also cut The several
wounds and their location decided
Coroner Longstreet that Tyrpet had
not sustained them by a fall into the
river. The autopsy also disclosed the
fact that the lungs We're free from wa,
ter and consequently that death was
not due to drowning. There was nc
evidence to show that Tyrpet had
boarded a train Wednesday night OF
that he had been struck while walk,
ing on the bridge.
Coroner Longstreet to a Tribune
reporter last night expressed his be-
lief that the man had been murdered
and the body thrown into the river 10y
persons unknown. The last man to SEE
Tyrpet alive at present is a store
keeper in Simpson who sold him good!
early Wednesday evening. His move
ments afterward are not known. Tyr
pet was unmarried and was % years o

been notified of the case.
