Good Flaying Generally Displayed by ISoth Clubs—Results of Yesterday's Games-Latest Gossip. 'Three times yesterday was victory within the grasp of the Quickstep, but fatal errors by Albert in both instances robbed them of the game. The game was a good one and interesting throughout. The game opened auspiciously, for the home team scoring three runs in the first inning. The Harrisburg tied the score on the fourth. Both dubs scored rubs in the eighth, and In the ninth inning the Quick step were retiied without scoring, for the Harrisburg, knocked a II Benners, which, had he been playing as he , could have retired him at Miller, ittle fly to should and first, instead t that he allowed the ball to go between his legs and the runner to reach second base. Schappeit was retired i ext and Cline reached first on a hit. Shetzllne then hit an easy ball to Albert who allowed the ball to pass him and Miller scored the winning run. In all other points the home team out fielded und out-batted the Harrisburg. The boy pitcher bolding them down to light hits aud the Quickstep scoring nine off Schap pert, who for once iu his life hit but one man. For the home team Fox led the batting with a three hits and five bases. Waltt got In two hits. Kleuzel aud Waltt both played good game in the field, aud Henry's field ing game was excellent, St. Lawrence held him good, having but one passed ball. For the Harrisburg Re ce i us at left field caught four difficult fly ball* which would have been two or three base bits. Burns at third played a splendid game aud Miller is a great little catcher.

A good tale, that has never been published is told oi Pete Browning of the Eclipse. At the time of Garfield's death some one told Pete that they would not play on the day of his funeral. Pete blurted out what for; what nine did he play in. The error column In the base ball average is spoiling a number of good players. Too many are playing for a good record and will n«)t make an great effort for a ball if they think they will make an error by It. The error column should be abolished and the players standing fixed on the put outs aud assists taken. THE SURF AT ATLANTIC CITY. Highest Ever Known—The Hoard Walk and Hath Houses Washed Away. Atlantic Cit y, August 29.— For à week the high seas which have been running steadily, despite the absence of heavy winds, have puzzled the old coast men. Owing to the position of the moon the evening tide runs the highest. The height obtained on Tuesday evening was sufficient to alarm a great many about the safety of the piers, board-walk and even the bathing establish ments. At high tide, at 5 o'clock this morning, It was raining, but hundreds were on the beach to see the great waves. It was warning of what might be expected when the evening tide came in, with its 18 inches more of water than the morning flow, and workmen were kept busy all day strength ening In every possible way the walks, pa vilions and bath houses. High water was due at 5 o'clock and 49 minutes, and although thousands of people went down earlier in the afternoon the crowd comprised nearly everybody in town. They were rewarded by the most raagnifl cent spectacle ever witnessed upon the coast. There have been higher tides than tbit fre quently, but never anything like so heavy a surf. The best view was had from the ocean pier, which stood'as firm as a rock through It all. From the elevation of the pier, as far as the eye could reach, the surf was roll-, lug house-top high, the sea was lashed into a fury and Its aspect was changed from blue to almost white, so solid was its covering of foam. A steady wind was blowing from the northeast. As the waters came in the breakers be gan creeping nearer and nearer to the board walk, until at last they broke beneath it. At point after point the w-ater began to climb up to the underside of the walk and the people upon it reluctantly fled to higher ground in the rear of the bath houses. From Pennsylvania to South Carolina enues, two blocks in distance, the walk was built nearer the water than at others and here the work of destruction began. The surf would come rolling under the walk and break there, lifting the walk from its piles and dashing it against the underpinning upon which the bath houses rested. Then ii would be carried out to sea until it would be broken to nieces or carried back aud dashed against the piliug supporting the bath houses. These repeated attack* against the bath »V houses began to tell. The first to succumb to them was the large bathing establishment of Lions Brothers, at the foot of South Carolina avenue. It was two stories and a-half iu height, the upper portion being occupied as a residence. When the walk had battered down the piles which held the house up it dropped into the sea and would be c. rried out, lifted up and then dropped suddenly into t.he trough ot the sea and broken; then the waves would grind the pieces into frag ments Others rapidly followed It, and in au hour's time nearly all the bathing estab lishments, photograph galleries, cigar and fruit stands, stores aud booths were carried out to sea aud fairly pulverized. Iu many instances the beach end of long bathing tablishments would be ground to piece*, leaving the remainder of the buildings standing with their ragged ends. Before the work of destruction was com pleted It had grown dark and places, if standing, would be surrounded by water. This rendered it impossible to obtain thing like & list of the proper les damaged, but from' Wiedemer's establishment, next adjoining the ocean pier entrance, north ward to the United States Hotel establish ments the destruction is widespread, in the first few blocks above the pier Apple rate 's photograph gallery is the only estab ishment not carried away, but everything U) front of it is gone. Below the pier, which stands in about the centre of the beach, the damage has not been so universal, but still it is great. The pavilion of the Park Parlors was carried away. *At about 8 o'clock the West Jersey excursion pier was carried away in a moment's time. By actual measurement the water ad vanced up Kentucky avenue 730 feet. The ocean pier has received a terrible strain, but it didn't give way. Twenty five sections, 16 feet in length, of board walk, three bath houses aud a large number ot electric light poles were dashed against, the pier at one time. Two thousand feet of board-walk above the pier are gone. All the railroad tracks across the meadows are under a few Inches water. The contents of the build ings destroyed are nearly all lost. The loss on the buildings themselves is not less than $200,000, with no Insurance whatever. The wind is increasing in velocity and rain has set in. It is feared that if the wind continues through the night the high water iu the morning will more than double the damage already Gone by making a clean sweep of the beach. The wonder is that no lives, so far as knbwn, have been lost. The people had ample warning from the board walk to escape through the rear ends of the buildings. The owners of the buildings stood upon the beach and saw -their houses floating away, some of them ridiu sea upon the roofs, to be dashe again a moment later. Pieces of furniture, trunks and other articles would be grouud to pieces within sight, and men, women and children were weeping and crying aloud at the destruction of their property. out to ashore HQUItiK O'NEIL'» COURT. A Would-be Murderer Held tor Court Other Cases.

New York, August 29.—Hundreds of persons thronged the riverside in the neigh borhood of the Klverdale disaster early this morning. The wreck lav off Fifteenth street, about a sixth of a mile from shore, and at high tide but a small pait of her port Bide was visible Attached to the sunken steamer by a hawser was the steamboat company's tug Reindeer, which was stationed there throughout the night to warn approaching vessels. At sunrise a large n urn lier of row boats surrounded the wreck in search of more bodies, and in two of the small crai t were men with oyster rakes. General surprise was expressed by many in t.he throng that, as hour after hour passed by, no signs were shown of any at tempt to raise the sunken vessel, and the company was referred to asheartless in not at once prosecuting the work. Those who have missing friends that are supposed to have been lost in the disaster were very in dignant, and expressed their feelings forci bly. Â6 soon as the wreck can be suffi ciently buoyed it will be dragged out of the channel, where it lies in the strong tide, a source of great danger to boats going up and down the river. A thorough examina tioti cf Its condition and a search for more bodies will then be made, and the truth will be known, both as to the condition of the boiler and the number of victims of the ex plosion. Steamboat men express the opinion from a look at the capsized vessel that it may break when an attempt is made to raise it. They believe that it is split into three or four pieces. In addition to the victims reported yester day are Thomas Joseph Saul, a pump-fltler, living at 292 Sumter street, Brooklyn, who died this morning in the hospital, and Charles Sisson, of Tarry town, aged 72, the husband of Mrs. 8issou, whose death has been reported. He is supposed to have been instantly killed, and his body has not been recovered. The three injured men in the New York Hospital are doing as well as can be expected Two of them, William H. Henry, the oiler on the steamer, and John Solair, the mate, are out of all danger. Rev. Howell Gardner Is Injured more ser iously, having been dreadfully scalded. As he is between 60 and 70 years old, he may succumb to the shock. The hospital physi cians have stroug hopes of his recovery. It is believed by th*-se best informed that the full extent of the calamity has been 6tated. A special policeman has been stationed alone the river walk, Hoboken, and along the "cove" to look out for any bodies that, may be washed iu from the Riverdale wreck The current of the North river sets in with a strong eddy at the "cove," and persons drowned on this side are generally carried by the flood tide over to the Jersey shore. Coroner Marri n this afternoon began mak ing preparations for the performance of his duties in connection with the explosion by viewing the bodies of the victims aud visi - ing the scene of the disaster. 4e has signi fied his determination to make a rigid ex amination into the matter, so as to enable him to ascertain exactly where the fault lies. The inquest in the case will be begti on Saturday and will probably continue lor* 1 two or three days. CLKANLMl THE RACE. Very D rty From Orange Mi-oet to the City Mills. weae put to work by Chief Engineer Coyle of the Water Department, yesterday morning, at cleaning out the South long race, beginning at the third da»u and worked toward the City Mill. Nothing but grass and stones were reached exoept at foot About 40 mud and filth was found. From Orange street to the end of the race the bottom was one mass of soft mud, filth, stones, etc. As the city now owns the entire race one of the wires which di vided the water rights of the previous owner was removed. No carrion was found, neither were any valuable. The race was flushed last evening and the loose dirt left behind washed out. The turbine wheel in the City Mill was necessarily stopped,aud the Worth ington pump, which has been taking the water from the Brandywine, was also stopped and thoioughly cleansed. The pump started last evening again, pumping from the Brandywine, and the mills farther up the stream were notified not to allow any dye to enter the stream until this after noon, by which time the race will be in proper condition to supply the water again. Passengers in Danger. Boston, August 29.—The steamer John Römer left thl6 morning on her regular trip to Pemberton and Nautasket, cairying about 700 passengers. The trip was a very rough one, a strong northeasterly wind blowing at the time. When off Long Island the Homer began to roll heavily on the rough sea, which rapidly increased as the steamer proceeded on her course. Just be fore crossing the sand bar between Nix's Mate and Long Island, a tremendous struck her on the port side, and directlv under the wheel, tearing away with a crash the after part of the port paddle box and the entire state-room adjoining. A panic ensued among the passengers, and a rush was made for life pre servers, while others sought the boats. The officers of the- Römer headed Gallops Island, In the meantime blowing a signal of distress, which was answered by the steamer Rose Standish, which was on her course to Boston from Strawberry Hill and Pemberton. Alter receiving about 200 passengers, the Standish proceeded for Pem berton, where they landed safely, while the Römer being relieved of a part of her pas sengers continued on her course to Naptas ket.. The accident is said to have been the result of the steamer listing to the port side and shutting in a heavy sea which had no chance of escape except by breaking through the timbers. her for The Case Dismissed. A case which embodied all sorts of in teresting ptiintsof law written and unwritten was tried by 'Squire Vandegnft last eveniug but was flually dismissed for reasons of the best kind. The case in question was that of William T. Best agaiuBt Can Shurtz. Best charged Shurtz with disorderly con duct and deiainatlon of character. At the hearing last evening. Best had about 20 witnesses, including the managing editor and city editor of the Morning News, all of whom testified as to the disorderly conduct and other matters eutirely irreleveut. The disorderly conduct consisted of Shurtz talking to a man named Anderson, In which Shurtz 6ald he didn't think Best was a very worthy mau. Best made a long speech in his own behalf, which was listened to with marked atten tion by the Squire and the numerous wit nw » 69 > [t »mounted to naught, as the case was dismissed without hearing a wit ness for the defeuce. L. L. Vandegrifl rep resented Shurtz. — - — - Trouble lu Abysunla. Paris, August 20.—It is reported that the Emperor of Abyssinia, having heard that King Meneh*k, of 8hoa, intended to send an embassy to Frauce to solicit a French pro tectorate over Shoa,has declared war against j King Menelek, and an Abysluian army has ! already invaded Shoa. 1 THE FEAST OF DEATH. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LOST IN J^PAN. DESTBOYEE BY EIBE AND FLOOD. Towns and Villages Covered by Molten Lava —Terrible Loss of Life and Property. Swept Away by immense Waves London, August 29.—Further particulars of the great volcanic eruption In Java, which have just reached London from Ba tavia, show the disaster to have been even more widespread than reported in yester day's advices. At noon on Sunday the eruptions and shocks were supposed to have reached their greatest height, but late in the afternoon and evening the violence of the disturbances suddenly increased and the Is land of Java seemed about to be pletely buried In a and sulphurous ashes, time the enormous waves began to dash with greater force upon the shores, coming in some places far up Into the interior, and great chasms opened in the earth and threatened to engulf a large proportion of the Island's people and buildings. About midnight the most frightful scene of the whole disturbance took place. Suddenly enormous luminous club, similar tr that which was seen over the Gunuug Gunter, but much greater in extent, formed over the Kandang range of mountains, which skirt the southeast coast of the island. The cloud gradually increased in size until It formed a canopy of lurid red and whitish gray over a wide extent of territory. During thi6 time the eruptions increased and streams of lava poured incessantly down the sides of the mountains into the valleys, sweeping everything b< lore them. One of the most singular freaks of the eruption was the carrying in the mldt-t of the molten lava of a bed of solid ice of mous size, which had been emitted from one of the craters, carried along by the current and landed ou the extremity of Point St. Nicholas, on the northeast . orner of the island. This bed of ice was surrounded by a thick envelope af sand and scoriae, which such non-conductors of heat that a red hot stream of lava running over them will not melt snow. It is supposed that this ice had formed the crust of some vast subter ranean lake. A GREAT TRACK corn mass of Are At the same ■ LAND SWALLOWED UP.

ThMtown ot Tauerautr, withiu 35 miles of city of Batavia, was awept away by the lava streams aud lully hall the population, mostly Javanese, numbering about 1,600, perished.

In Batavia the loss has been largely in creased since the former rep« «rts. The roof of the Governor's house was crushed in by a mass of heavy mud. ami three of the re tainers were killed. The town brhlge was destroyed, the Diamond and Pearl Bastions were badly damaged and the Burrau re doubt was destroyed. Ou Caymans, Mala bar and Lyons streets, the principal avenues of the city, the damage is very great. Aatyoi is entirely destroyed. Faggal was severely shaken and few build ings were left standing. The aggregate loss of life from the various elements of the terrible disturbances must be fully 75,000, but the numtwr of those who perislmd can never, of course, be accurately approximated. London, August 29.— Batavia, Java, to the Lloyds, says that the towns of Anjier, Tjtrtngine and Telokb.-long have been destroyed by the volcanic erup tions. It also says that all the light houses In the Sunda Straits have disappeared) and that where the Mountain ot Kramatan form erly stood the sea now flows.
