= The striking employees of the coal
mines OF the Wheeling Steel and Iron
Company's plant at penwood Eeld d
we'll attended meeting at Curran'S hall,
in that city, yesterday morning, tor
the purpose OF hearing the opinions OF
the various members of the union
concerning the existing difficulties.
The meeting was called to order IL
IL o'clock, and was in session for about
an hour. 1t was presided over by VIM.
Davis, president of the union. The
following new corps of officers was
elected for the ensuing year President,
William Davis; vice president, Harry
Patterson; secretary, Robert Cochran;
bank committee, J. A. Ruckman and
John Bohill.
The subject of their strike, which
was inaugurated on Thursday last, was
brought up and was very freely dis
cussed, dinerent suggestions beng OF
fered by many of the members OF the
organization. This discussion, how
ever, failed to bring about any sort OF
a change in their decision TO strike,
and at the conclusion of the meeting
u the men remained together, firm in
their intentions to remain out until
an adjustment had been effected The
miners have decided to interview the
puddlers at the Wheeling steel works
IN order to learn their views on the
matter.
The pudding department and the
plate mill, which were thrown idle by
the strike, will resume operations to-
morrow, the coal for which will be
shipped from another point. Notices
to this effect were posted yesterday at
the works. 1t is the general opinion
that the end of the difficulty is far from
being in sight, but an early settlement
is hoped for by all interested in the
matter.
In answer to the statement of Man
ager Harry Riddle, of the mines at the
Wheeling steel works, concerning the
strike now on, the striking miners
made the following statement yester-
day: THAT man who carried the re-
port of the conversation between two
of the miners regarding the impure at
mosphere in the mines to Manager
Riddle was present at the meeting of
the miners held at the bank on Thurs
day at noon and contradicted the state
I1ent which Manager Riddle represent,
ed him to the miners committee as
having made, and also said that he was
willing to face Mr.. Riddle concerning
the matter"
1t is very likely that the men will
hold another meeting during the week,
after they have held interviews with
the puddlers, in which event more in
teresting facts may be developed.

WHITMAN WON.
Retains the Tennis Championship
by Defeating Paret.

NEWPORT, R. L, Aug. 22.-MalcoIm D.
Whitman, of BrookIine, Mass, success
fully defended the national lawn tennis
championship today, defeating J. Parmily
Paret, of New York, in four sets on the
Casino courts here. Whitman had an
easy time in the first and second sets
but his opponent took the third The
fourth proved a deuce set, Paret pulling
up after the champion had taken lead
Whitman was too strong, however, and
closed the tournament of 1889 by a IS
score in his favor.
Before the match had progressed far it
was apparent that Paret was not up to
his pace of yesterday. In the opening
games he was very cratic, and although
he steadfed himself after the first set, he
was outplayed at every point by Whit
man. The champion was accurate and
steady in his play in marked contrast to
his opponent.
Whitman took the first set 6-1 Paret's
playing improved in the second set, but
still he was outclassed and Whitman
won 81. The New York player came out
at his best in the third set and he held
the champion at love UP to within one
game of winning. With the score 90, in
making which Paret mad played most
beautifully, Whitman had rallied and
pulled out the games by close margins
So close were they in fact that several
times Paret was within one stroke of win
ming. The ninth game went to the New
Yorker giving him the set, 6-S. Whit
man opened the fourth set by a lead Of
80, but Paret broke. through his service
and caught him at 4 ALL Then each
scored a game by hard, fast play at the
net. From 5 all, Whitman proved the
most aggressive, and won the set and
match, rs. Summary:

DUST FROM THE DIAMOND.

The second game Of the series between
St Paul and Grand Rapids will be played
a Lexington this afternoon and will be
called at 3:45 o'clock. Fisher or Denzer
will be in the box for the locals and Reu-
ben Waddell will probably do the twirling
for the visitors Reuben had to retire
from the field the last time he essayed to
pitch against the Saints.
Haskell gave a perfect imitation yes
terday of man who umpiTes with no
Judgment no common sense and but little
knowledge of the game. His decisions at
times were fearfully rank. But then
Magnate Thomas Lotus was on the
Grand Rapids bench.
Katon is developing into a wonderful
sticker for a pitcher. In the last four
games that he has pitched he has been
at bat seventeen times and has made
eight safe hits, almost an average Of
500. His two-base drive yesterday won
the game and Geiers three-base hit be-
hind it clinched the proposition.
Sullivan. the Grand Rapids catcher,
styles Hart Young Glenalvin." A few
of the Grand Rapids heavy hitters put
their punts into Harris territory during
the first part Of the game. Then they
switched.
The Saints put up a splendid game in
the field yesterday, while the visitors
played some very yellow ball and at crit
lcal stages in the game, where errors
made runs.
Heine Spies was in fine form, accent
ing nine chances without so much as a
tumble.
Capt. Tebeau struck out twice, and the

AMERICAN BOAT WON.
Genesee Defeated Beaver In Race
for Canada's Cup.

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 22.-The Genesee
won the first race of the series. which
Is to determine the possession of the
Canada's cup, or Lake Ontario There
was fairly strong northwest wind at the
start, and considerable sea outside, but
the weather was not nearly so much to
the taste of the Canadians as it was yes
terday.
Skipper Jarvis, sailing the Beaver.
gained the coveted weather position in
going. over the line, and led Genesee by
IL seconds. The first leg of the twenty
one mile triangle was to the southeast
ward, giving the yachts a spinnaker run.
Skipper Davis, of the Genesee, beat his
opponent by nearly half a minute in set
ting his balloon canvas and drew ahead
although Genesee's big mainsail was still
single-reefed.
Genesee had a good lead when the first
buoy was rounded. The yachts hauled
to the wind to be at the western buoy
The breeze, instead of freshening, light
ened somewhat, and the Canadian boat
was unable to catch her opponent.
The Genesee's lead at the western buoy
was less than a minute, but in the broad
reach back she again pulled ahead. She
was down to leeward, and in order to
avoid being blanketed had to take in
her balloon jib. This gave her competitor
slight advantage, but before Genesee
could be overhauled she had edged up to
windward and her balloon jib was set
again. She finished one minute and %
seconds ahead of the Beaver.
Challenger and Defender received an
equally generous greeting from the fleet
of steam and sailing craft that crowded
around the finishing buoy. Tee time of
the racers was as follows:
Start-Genesee, IL :30:58; Beaver, II :3O:47
FIRST buOy-GeneSee, 12:24:35; Beaver,

practically straight heats in the grand
circuit races today, an extra heat being
required in only one unfinished race Of
yesterday. The track was fast.
The big stake eventtofs the day, the
Blue Hill, for 2:3G trotters was easy for
Kingmond, the Portsmouth horse being
scarcely pushed in any of the three
heats. The other events. passed off
smoothly, with Letah S taking the I'M
finished 2:20 trot, and Billy Andrews the
Fps pace.
It took two heats to finish the 2:2O trot,
which came over from yesterday, the IA
vorite, Letah S, breaking in the third
heat and coming in well behind. In the
fourth and deciding heat, however, she
took the lead at the start and was never
headed.
The 2:25 trot was soon over, for the
favorite, Billy Andrews, led in every
heat, his driver pulling him up IN the
last to give the other horses rating.
In both heats Of the PIG trot Tessie s

she finished neck behind, but in the
second she broke just before the finish.

this year.

out to Genins. Geier drove the ball
through the short field for a bag, and
