BASEBALL NOTES.

All Philadelphia is now talking of a
new baseball manager, and would like
to make big deal for Ned Hanlon, OF
Baltimore.
Newark mobbed Umpire Brady yes
terday, givig him the second taste of
violence of the week.
Washington has relased Pitcher
King, Second Baseman O'Brien, Third
Baseman Reilly and Right Fielder Abb
hey. Gedtman and Fox, new men,
have been placed in right field and at
short, respectfully. De Montreville is
playing second base and Wrigley third.
ester German was released recently.
Wagner evidently has given up hope
of making any sort of a showing and is
cutting down xpenses to the lowest
point
With the score 80 to 33 in their favor
the Park baseball team walked off the
| field in the eighth inning Saturday on
account of an unfair decision of the
umpire. The umpire gave the game to
the Fairview by a 9 to 0 score.
Horace Mcdaniel, of this city, is now
playing first base for the Cape Charles
team. Radcliffe is also playing with
the same team.
! Jack" Newell is swinging the circuit
pretty thoroughly this season. He
started in with Reading, was released
to indianapolis, then went to Mime
apolis and Grand Rapids, of the West
ern League, later to Hartford, and is
now playing with Paterson.
John I. Rogers says he will try to
discover where the trouble lies in the
Philadelphia team and rectify it. He
says Manager Stallings tells him every
thing is all right at present.
The Record says that Billy ShettslinC
may not know all the fine points of the
game, but he knows how to handle bal
players, and would not make a bad
| manager

Agitators at Work.

Dubois, Pa, Aug. 2S.-Vigorous efforts
have been made during the past week
by agitators TO induce the miners Of
this place to join the strikers. The al
legged labor leaders have been unable 70
get a meeting of the miners and have
met with little announcement through
personal solicitation. Saturday after
noon a printed notice without a sig
nature, was conspicuously posted about
town calling a meeting of the Rochester
and London miners at Electric park
this morning.
The notices were no sooner posted
than the pit committee of those mines
issued notices that the call was unau-
thorized and that there would be no
such meeting. The agitators sent to
this region have been unable to get pit
committees to call a meeting and the
mines are working steadily.
During the strike in 1894 many inn
portant contracts were lost by opera
tors of this region, and work has since
been poor up to the outbreak Of the
present strike In the Pittsburg region
since which time the mines here have
been working on practically full time
and contracts that were lost are being
regained
Should the miners here conclude &c
strike, these contracts and others would
be lost to them. and less work than evei
would result for a long time.
The Heynoldsville miners are still out
but all others in this region are work

of their contents.
The Italians, who are employed on
the P., w G. b. railroad cutoff this
side of Elkton, gave chase, but the rob
bers made their escape. Information of

iewelry stolen was sent to Detective
Jones, and last night the detective lo-
Gated the watch. He got a description
of the man, which he gave TO Officer
Shields and William Pondexter's ar
rest followed. Several of Pondexters
lady friends aver that they will lay

CARBAGE MEN NEGLIGENT.

That the Board OF Health is negli-
gent in the collection of garbage is
prevalent by the numerous kicks which
are coming from the citizens Of the East
Side. Said a prominent citizen last
night:
"The Board of Health is not attend
ing to its business It's officers must be
asleep. The garbage men have not been
in our neighborhood for the past three
weeks. The refuse is allowed TO lay
there and the stencil arising from the
uncollected garbage is sitting" The
Board of Health has been deaf to the
wants of the public for some time. Pro
tests are being made by citizens all over
Wilmington over the negligence shown
by the Board Of Health and the garbage
men in the collection OF the offal.

Better Known In England.

It is said that the late Daniel Green leaf Thompson of this city had his books published in England not from any lack of patriotism, but because the serious works that he produced found a much better market i'll England Like General Walker, he was much better known as an author in England than he was in his own country. lie belonged to the individualigt school, and it is perhaps a curious fact that, while Americans are instinctively as individ- ualistic as any eDple in the world, their controversial literature affords few good examples of the expression of individualistie social or economic theo- ries.
