A SPLENDID DISPLAY.

One Of the notable exhibits in yester-
days Business Parade was the display
made by the wholesale firm of Zarnitz
& Co. of No. 1910 Main street.
They had two handsomely decorated
floats, one devoted to an exhibit of Ben
IHur Flour, which will give all other
fiours a race" for their lives, as it has
jumped into great popularity. and the
other was allotted to Blanke's Coffee,
one of the best brands on the market
and deservedly popular. This latter
float had for a conspicuous feature a
life-sized figure of Faust, attired in the
traditional red, with a waving plume in
his cap, and the display attracted the
marked attention of the thousands of
people upon the streets along the
route. This enterprise Of Zarnitz Bros.
& Co. was only undertaken late yes
terday morning. but the success achiev-
ed was equal t that of any others in
the procession, and demonstrated the
ability of the firm to meet any emery
ency upon short notice.

Remarkable Presence of Mind.

The crowds of people on Market
street between Eleventh and Twelfth,
at $50 last evening, were witnesses of
a remarkable exhibition of presence of
mind and skill in holding a frightened
horse. Mrs. A. Friebertzhauser and
daughter were out driving in a buggy,
when as they were coming down by the
Ferris wheel, near the Grand Central
Hotel, the horse-a very high spirited
animal-took fright and dashed down
the street, smashing a bicycle and bring
ing total ruin to a hokey-pokey cart.
This added to the terror OF the already
frantic horse, and caused 1t to dash
forward at even greater speed. Every
one expected a frightful accident, but
the lady did not for a moment lose her
presence of mind. With marvellous
skill she maintained control of the
crazed animal, kept him in the street,
and had him subdued by the time Thir-
teenth street was reached. 1t was a
winning against tremendous odds and
called forth shouts of applause from the
frightened spectators. Neither Mrs.
Friebertzhauser nor her daughter were
injured, thanks to her skill and presence
of mind.

STANDING OLE CL.uRs.

The Fort Wayne aggregation headed
by the two Millers-"Doggie' and "Dus-
ty"-with the fleet footed Mattress, and
Babb, the nasty sticker, swooped down
on the Nailers yesterday. and pulled out
a victory after a stubborn eleven inning
argument. Umpire Mclaughlin played
a difficult position and made himself ex-
tremely unpopular with the crowd.
When he started to leave the grounds a
crowd of small boys threw sticks and
mud after him, and a man who was big
enough to know better gave him a push.
With a little encouragement SOME OF
the boys In the crowd might have used
him roughly.
II was a battle between the pitches
STREET and Daniels. and the latter had a
shade the better of 1t. The mild
weather had a re~juvenating effect on
old Pete, and he sent them across the
plate like he did in his palmy days,
After the second inning the Nallers
could not touch him. For nine long In
nings they failed to secure a safe hit.
Pete mixed EN- up in very effective
fashion, and sent thirteen batsmen to
the bench or strike-outs.
STREET started off like a two-tlme win
ner. For seven innings the only safe
hit was an infeld scratch which Nat
tress beat to the bag. Oscar was a
trife wild, however, and to that cause
is due Wheeling's defeat.
The game opened nicely for Wheel
ing. With one down, Hannivan raped
out a nice two Dagger, and scored on
Herbert's double to right field. In the
next inning. another score was added
on Fox's single and Gallagher's long
triple over "Doggie" Miller's head In
right garden.
The visitors tied In the seventh with
out a safe hit. Mclaughlin had been
burning up STREET. on balls and strikes
although 1t Is hardly likely that he was
Intentionally unfair. G. Miller and Full
Ter were the first two batsmen. and they

"Doggie" scored on the throw-in. Be
vans hit to STREET., who stopped the ball,
and it rolled to Hannivan, who threw
| to first too late to catch Bevans, Fuller
scoring from third base.
No more scores were made until the
eleventh inning, although the situation
was decidedly ticklish at times, the visi-
tors having men on bases in the ninth
and tenth. In Fort Wayne's half of
the eleventh. Fuller led off with a short
high fly to left field, which Gallagher
could not reach. He decided to take
two bases on 1t, and the Wheeling play
ers claimed that Kane touched him with
the ball at second, but Mclaughlin
ruled otherwise. Then Daniels hit to
STREET, who threw to Thoney to retire
Fuller. 1t was another close decision
and Mclaughlin again favored the WIS.,
itors. Some people in the ball park
were developing an aggravated case Of
"the rattles" by this time. The ball
was fielded back to first base in time to
retire Daniels, however. Mattress sent
a long fly to Knoll, upon which Fuller
would have scored, but Knoll was
anxious to make the throw to the plate
and dropped the ball, making both run
ners safe, Fuller crossing the plate with
the winning score.

Bishop Potter Heads Plan for Organ
iznq Committee Of 5000.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.--If the present
plans Of Bishop Potter are carried TO
a successful elimination he will have
established in few days a vigilance
committee numbering 5000 persons,
pledged and sworn to learn of and cor
rect existing evils in this city.
Speaking to a remarkable assem-
blage of men in all walks of life at St.
Pauls chapel last November. Bishop
Potter advocated the formation of
such a committee, each member of
which would labor individually for
the good of the city and the stamping
out of places of iniquity that have
grown and been fostered by police pro-
lection.
1t is well known that Bishop Potter
has personally felt that too little. at
tention has been given to the fact that
the labor ORGANIZATIONS as united bod
les and workingmen as individuals
have enlisted 10 assist in the reforma-
ton of the city's evils In the vigil
ance committee now organizing there
will be hundreds of laboring men. who.
better than anyone else. know of the
overrunning of immortality in the far
east and west SIDE tenements, where
the homes of honest workingmen are
found
Bishop Potter said last night: NO
man is better qualified 10 take up the
work of publication than he who tolls
to support his wife and children. 1t
was in realization of the value of
the man representing labor that when
| was asked for my advice about the
formation Of the committee of fifteen
| said: AT all events let there be at
least two Representatives of labor on
the committee
