A VERDICT RENDERED

Buffalo, N. ', March 31-Judge Mur- phy handed down his findings in the Burdick inquest today.
 He declared that the identity of the murderer has not been proved. His statement is an exhaustive review of the evidence brought cut during the inquest.
 In reciting the connection of Pen nell, with Mrs Burdick, the findings say that the facts deduced would con- stitute just ground for suspicion on which warrant could be issued were Penneu alive.
 Judge Murphy comments on the at titude of Mrs. Hull and asserts his opinion that her action remains unex- plained.

BASE BALL GAME.
A Good Attendance and a Lively
 Game-The Scrub Team Wins.

The first ball game of the season was played at the ball grounds yesterday and large crowd was in attendance. The boys were all fresh at the game this year but a rattling good game was put up till the sixth inning when the boys were all so tired that the game went all to pieces and the score ran up like the mercury in a Phenix thermometer. Up to the sixth inning the score was three to five and during the next three innings it ran up to fifteen to eighteen in favor of the "scrubr nine that had been gathered up to give the boys practice game.
 Another game will be played next Sunday and the boys hope by that time to be able to provide benches for the lady spectators at least.
 The line up of the two teams was as follows:
 Regular nine-Tabor, catcher; Lit Ter, pitcher; Freeman, first base; Monrette, second base; Miller, third base; Martin, short stop; Everts, right; Johnson, center, and Herndon left field.
 Scrub nine-Flammer, catcher; Brown, pitcher; Smith, first; Mans field, second and Hartin, third base; Pulliam, short stop; Cotton, right; Coon, center, and Halleran, left field.

MORE MEN
 AND HONEY

New Orleans, La, March a.-More men and money is the cry that comes from the Hymelia crevasse today. The force employed there has been work ing day and night and is exhausted.
 Eight hundred feet of cribbing at one end, and two hundred at the other was holding firmly at daylight. The prospect of closing the break is frightened considerably. The Texas and Pacific is running daily trains carrying laborers. The main levee pro- tecting the state convict farm near Baton Rouge gave way at four o'clock. The entire place was covered with water for few hours.
 The loss will be heavy there.

A telegram was received at the sher. ifs office last evening announcing the arrest of the Goddard murderers at NacO. The arrest was made by Billy BlankenshIp who sent the tele- gram. While Billy is generally cor rect and is one of the best officers in the territory there is possibility of his being mistaken in the matter.

Baltimore and Ohio Earnings.

The very comfortable advance in the
July earnings OF the Baltimore and
Ohio would indicate that the commercial
prosperity OF the country was not being
materially affected by the stock market
conditions. The Baltimore and Ohio has
been showing steady increases for
months and the July statement was
somewhat remarkable in several re-
spects.
The gross earnings OF 1885,, $50 were
the largest ever earned by the lines in
clGded in the statement and the per-
eentage of expenses to earnings reached
the low point of SO per cent.
Much of the Baltimore and Ohio's
business is handled over grades OF 100
feet to the mile. but many of the lighte~
grades have been eliminated, and heavy
trains. large cars. and intelligent opera
tion have served TO minimize the cost
of handling business on divisions where
the grades are comparatively few, thus
reducing the average cost.
With a gross increase OF $685.. $50 in
the July statement there is a net in
crease of 1881, 625, despite heavy advances
for fuel. wages, and supplies over last
yea.
The fuel will cost the road this year
about $500. 900 more than last year, and
wages have been increased over s.. O00-
600 year.

Little Restriction on Number.
Working under this order it will be
possible for Captain Marion to send be-
