WADSWORTH AND
 DAVENPORT LEAD

New York. Sept. 30--With the receipt of about two-thirds of the upstate vote and virtually all of the New ork city returns. 1t appears that James W. Wadsworth. IT., had won the Re publican nomination for United States senator over William M. Calder, and Frederick M. Davenport had defeated former Governor William Su1zer for the progressive gubernatorial nonlina- ton. Predictions of both victories are based on the constantly increasing leads of Wadsworth and Davenport in the upstate returns. Wadsworth still is slightly behind Calder, but he is gaining rapidly and with 700 districts still to be heard from he is believed to stand an excellent show of winning. An error of about 1000 votes in the Greater New York tabulation last night threw Wadsworth into the lead temporarily on the face of the returns but he really is about 2,000 behind With ,000 districts still to report Dav- enport was 1000 ahead of sulzer.
 Gov. Gfynn, District Attorney Whit man and Ambassador Gerard continued to add to their pluralities upstate for the Democratic gubernatoria1, RepubIi- can gubernatorial and Democratic sen atorial nominations, respectively. With @ majority of almost 100000 already es- tablished over John A Hennessy, it appeared that the governor would fn- ish probably 125. 900 votes ahead of his opponent Whftman's plurality probably will be between 50, 900 and 75,o00. It is believed that Gerard s plurality will exceed 75,o0o
 A persistent report is current that John A. Hennessy will make an inde- pendent race for governor, despite his defeat by Gov. GIynn. Hennessy has not committed himself on this rumor but his friends declare that 1t is not unlikely he, will follow this course.

swords That snsppsd.

4 great many swords were brought home ufter the war between the states welded in the middle. because the young officers who owned them had bragged about their elasticity and had broken them in trying to demonstrate 1t. The tragedy happened in thia way
 The young officer in setting out for the war had been given a fine sword by his admiring friends at home. He was told and made to believe that his sword was of tried Damascus or Toledo steel and that 1t would bend double without breaking. In camp somewhere the, young captains and neutenants would fail to vaunting their trusty blades, and on a bet one of them would stick the point of his sword into a tree and begin to bend the hilt around to meet the point. And just as the hiIt came around the blade snapped in two in the middle. Very few of these pres entation swords were as Damascus or as Toledo as they were supposed to bel
 After that the two parts Of the sword had to be welded. and the weapon shows the welding to this day.--EeFv York Mail

G. H. WlCKS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
 PORT NOS DEATH
Coroner PheIan Files Finding In Which Wealthy River side Artist Is Blamed.

Court1and H. Wicks, prominent painting and decorating contractor Of Riverside and Sound Beach is held criminal1y responsible for the death of Antonio Portino, 30 years of age, by Coroner John J. Phelan in a finding handed down today Portino and An-l tonic Sigero Of Portchester, were walk ing along Putnam avenue, a short dis tance outside Of Greenwich, at 6:15 o'clock on the morning of June l, when Wtcks' automobile. coming up in the rear, struck Portino to the ground.
 AS a result of his injuries, Portino contracted pneumonia, from which he died on September 13. Witnesses tes7; tiled that Wicks gave no warning of his approach, and that the two men were taken unawares, one jumping to the right and one to the left when they heard the whirr of the motor. Portino was caught by the right side of the machine, the front wheel passing over him, and fracturing several ribs, and was then pinioned to the ground by the rear wheel, while Wicks, it was testified, made no effort to assist in Of Greenwich testified that he was un- der the Influence Of liquor when brought to the station, and could only stand by grasping something to sup port him.
 The coronerss finding is, in part:
 Witnesses testified that no warn ing soand of any Kind was given by the said vvicls or any sound heard by them as his moderately travelling. machine approached the deceased and said companion from behind except such sound as was made by the mo- ton Of the auto.
 The apparently indifferent conduct of Wicks after the injury in failing to aIight from his auto, to assist in pulling the injured man from under his car as shown by Sigero and Spa taro and by one Joe Bertino, along with the testimony of pr. John A. Clarks. Chief Of Police Talbot and GiI- bert ". Finch, showing intoxicatIon on the part of Wicks at the police sta- ton shortly after the deceased was removed to the hospital. leads me to conclude that WIcks at the time was unable to properly manage his auto without jeopardy to the traveling pul1- lie, and that he failed to give such lawful warning of his approach to the deceased as to allow the latter to es- cape from danger.
 s.Wieks by advise of counsel refused to testify as to all matters relating to his condition at the time of Injury and to the cause of injury or to mat ters relating to such injury
 ssI. therefore. find the deceased came to his death as the result of injuries sustained by him at the time place and from the causes shown through the criminal act of Courtland H. Wfcks.s

Ianllcs worked in their surprise par ty, for then it was they began to pun ish Creighton's pitching and the result was that when the inning ended the score stood at Is to 12 in favor of the Atlantics Russell was then sent in to pitch in place of Creighton and that ended the Atlantic's scoring. The ExceIsfors got in two more runs in the next two innings, but the game ended with the ,Atlantics in the van by 15 to IA. There was great rejoicing at the Atlantic's headquarters that night in consequence of the exception al victory.
 The two clubs were now even, game and game, and, as under the rules the third contest had to take place on a neutral field, the new grounds of the Putnam club, located at Putnam and Howard avenues, near Broadway, were selected for the test game, and on August 23 it took place there, but. the result was anything but satisfac- tory to either side. Unfortunate1y the rough element prevailed in the large crowd of spectators gathered on the occasion and a lot of betting was en- gagged in and partisan feeling ran high. Moreover, that nuisance of pro- fessional baseball of the existing pe- riod, kicking, was exhibited on this occasion for the first time in amateur baseball history, and the result was that the game ended in a row.
 The contest began in favor of the Excelsiors by to 4, and at the end of the fourth inning the score stood to in their favor. From this time on the s'rough-necks'' in the crowd, who had bet on the Atlantics, began a crusade of b1ackguardfs1n against the ExceIsiors and to such an extent had it proceeded that Captain James Leg. gett in the sixth inning, indignant at the insults his team had been slb- jected to, called his mem off the field and left the ground in a large omni- bus. Before leaving Leggett said to Matty O'Brfen: e

 Matte replied: sswill you call it a draw. Joe?'
 Joe replied: sAn right, Matte. let it be so," and this ended the last game the two clubs ever played to- gether. When the sixth inning had ended the score stood to in favor of the Excelsiors, so the series did not. settle the cha ampionship question

The most important series of matches played in the metropolis in 1860. was that between the Atlantic and Excelsior mines forsthe champion ship of the metropolitan district nom inalIy, but in reality for the champion ship of the baseball world of that pc riod. The first game was played-as previously recorded-on July 8, with the result of a one-sfded victory for the Excelsiors by the score of 13 to 4. This game took place on the old Ex- ce1sior grounds. foot of Court street, South Brooklyn and it attracted a crowd Of over 2, 900 people. very large assemblage for those days. The following were the contesting teams on the occasion:
 Rxcelsdors-Jim Creighton, D., Leg get e. PearsaII h., John Holder, 2b., John Whiting 3b., Tom Reynolds, s.. Ed. Russell lf., George F1an1y, cf., and Asa Brainard, If.

 The Atlantics changed the position of their players several times during the game, Price pitching at one time and Dick Pearce catching. Of the play CTS who have since died there are Key holds Creighton, Holder, Russell and Brainard of the Exce1sIons and the two O'Briens, McMahon,g Smith and the two Divers of the Athletics.
 It was not until the 10th of Aug ust that the return game was played, and that took place on the old AtIan- tic grounds at Putnam and Marcy ave nues, Brooklyn, fronting Johnny Wild's hotel and here another group Of spectators was gathered-not so large as before, who were entirely un- suspicious of what a surprise was in store for them.
 Like the first game, the contest opened with a one-sided score, the third innings ending with a total of 8 to in favor of the Excelsiors At the end of the eighth inning the figures had been changed to 12 to 6, with the E1xcelsiors still leading. It was in the seventh inning. however, that the Att
