pastor of Elm Park church. lie was on
the Inflated City of Chicago. which was
dashed to pieces on the Irish coast one
awful night In a fog. The cliff was three
hundred feet high, and death seemed
certain. The doctor escaped by means of
a rope ladder suspended from the rocks
and was scarcely in time to see the vcs-
sci part and disappear beneath the
waves. Oddly enough the engineer, who
was a former parishioner and who d.
rectod him to the boat and probably was
the means of saving his life. now oCcu-

pleasure to renewing the acquaintance.
The doctor will remain abroad until Sep
tember Much of the time will be spent
in London and vicinity. including the Isle
of Wight. while a study of Winchester

Up in Rochester, N. Y, they are getting
heartily sick of the remnant of the band
of ball players who last year gave the ma
tional game a fatal blow in this city. Not
many members of the old Scranton
club remain most of them having been re-
leased since the club was transferred to
Rochester. Others are slated to go. Here
is what the Herald of that city said yes
terday:
There is going to be considerable
change in the personnel of the Rochester
team and that before any great length
of time The first indication of that came
last night when Manager Finn farmed
| Pitcher Yerkes to Cortland. There are
| also other changes contemplated 1t
would not be advisable TO state who the
| players are concerned. but anyone who
| saw the game played here yesterday
| ought to be pretty near able to pick out
| two or three that should get the mitten
without any further ado. 1t is likely
that Donnely may be put in the game
| soon to play at third, but that does not
| mean the displacement of Keister. The
| trouble arising over the liens which have
| been filed on Culver Field will probably
he disposed of shortly. A meeting of the
magnates will take place soon in this
| city and they are likely to stay here un-
| til things are Strengthened out and every
| thing running smoothly"
| The Democrat and Chronicle OF
Rochester comments on the situation as
| follows:
1.-THE general opinion is that there
| should be another change in the team
| The men, as a rule cannot bat. Bean is
picking up in hitting apparently. lie and
| McHale got six of the seven hits made
| Bonner was useless at critical points
and the impression is fixed that his big
average of last year was the result OF
| a partial scorer. Everyone else was ais.
weak at the bat, Boyd. who had not beer
in the game up to that point. scoring 6
single in the ninth. The cranks are now
| anxi0nS nonncllV ~ third baSp
with Keister at second where he is sup
posed to be, and other changes made
Any ball critic knows where the veal
men on the team are. Bean is general,
considered to be the only man whos'
fielding is of such n nature as to excus
weak batting. and he is steadily imrrov
