FALLING BY THE WAY. The Quincy Team Suddenly Discovers That It Wants to be a Union Club. lhe Most Peculiar Play of the Season In the Chicago-Buffalo Game. Shooting: at Fort Snelllng — Events on tlie Turf anil Elsewhere. North western League. The more sanguine friends of the North western league believed that the meeting of Saturday in Chicago had at least removed from the pale of doubt the existence of the organization to the end of the season, but a brief telegram scarcely forty-eight hours later announces the resignation of one of there maining six clubs, and it is easy to imagine that at the end of this week the league will be a thing of the past. The telegram comes | from Quincy, HI., and is as follows: '"\V. j D. Whitmore resigned the presidency of the N irthwestern league to-day, aud the Quincy cub sent in its resignation as a member of the league. The club has made application for admission to the Union association." "W ■ speak without authority, but it is pre sumed the St. Paul team will play four games with Milwaukee this week, come home and play a series with Minneapolis and then dis band. Practical!;/ DisbandeS. Guano Rapids, Mich., Aug. 11. — The Grand Rapids base ball club practically dis banded to-day. At this date the club is four games in the lead for the championship in the Northwestern league, having won forty eight games and lost fifteen. Five players join the Detroit club, as follows: Getzein, Gastfield, Reams, Cox and Jones. They have been released. The rest are not yet re leased, but probably will lie soon. The club is out of debt aud quits with a loss of about $2,500. AT EAST SAOINAW.

The Chieagos were first at bat. Dalrymple went out; Gore made a base hit; Kelly bit to second baseman, who chased Gore on a line between first and second. Gore threw his arms around the fielder and prevented him from throwing to first base to put out Kelly. The umpire declared both men out. The captain of the Chieagos de slared the decision contrary to the rules, molding that Kelly could not be put out for store's wrong doing, and refused to play.

[Special Telegram to tha Ldobe. i Washington', Aug. 11. —Politicians here are speculating as to the probable course of Grant aud Conkling in the coming cam paign, and in this connection it may be in teresting to make public tlie fact that during the general's last visit to Washington he called upon Mr. Blame and the two gentle men were closeted together for over two hours. Of course the results of that interview can ouly be authoritatively announced by a statement from either of the parties present. This has not been done, yet intimate friends of each say that an amicable understanding was ar rived at so far as Grant was concerned and that he will take part when the campaign fairly opens in New York. Mr. Conkllng lias absolutely refused to have anything to do with Blame or his can vass. He is reported to have said some kind things of Logan, who is one of his old aud warm friends, but for Blame he has only the bitterest and most biting sarcasm. Men of Conkling's temperament are apt to allow their enmities to more than counterbalance their friendship and in the present instance Lord Roscoc has evidently given Logan to understand that his love for him will not affect his knifing Blame. Coukling is rather inclined to favor Butler's candidacy. They are men who thin' dike on many questions and tiic bonds ol personal friendship have been cemented even stronger than ever since Conkllng made bis inglorious retreat from the senate to his law practice. It is not among the impossibilities, therefore before the campaign is over Conkllng wiß give utter ance to Lis feelings, which will be beyond the pale of misconstruction.

With the Germans, Prohibitionists, Work ingmen ami Irishmen Doubtful Things are Mixed. [Special Telegram to the Globe. | Ns-:w Yonic, Aug. 11. — A special to the Sun from Washington says: Blame is causing those who arc managing his canvass no lit tle anxiety. He is no longer the dashing and audacious Plumed Knight of 1876. He is a changed man. Though always the most cautious and secretive of men, he used to conceal these traits by au assumption of dash and pluck that was a most artistic as well as long sustained piece, of acting. Now, however, his friends find that his brilliant aggressiveness is gone. He seems to be not only timid but almost indifferent. If he has any great interest in the approaching canvass he does not reveal it. He simply urges his friends to go on with the canvass in their own way and let him be at peace so far as possible. That was not at all what the ener getic Elkins aud the diplomatic Phelps expected when they procured his nomination. They looked forau abundance of brilliant suggestions and the proposition of some audacious and overwhelming line of policy for carrying on the canvass from the candidate, but Blame has, so far, seriously disappointed them. The Piumed Knight has already received a great deal of information touchiugthe political situation and he thinks it justifies his despondency. He claims, at all events, that his political forecasts last winter were correct, and that the country has entered upon a canvass that will be unique, and will show some un expected results, which the wisest men can not now predict. ; I While Bluine has no such organized force of clerks, letter openers and assistants as were at Mentor iv ISSO, yet he has a bright aud energetic son, a diligent secretary, and through them a great deal of correspondence is conducted. The news that has already come to Augusta agrees in the main with that re ceived by the National committee. It is far from cheering, though it is not thought by Blame's friends to justify his own gloom, and, while they do not share it, they are very anxious about some of the states that have been counted surely Republican. Unless there be a change of sentiment in these states before November the party is iv very serious danger of losing some of them, and it 's certain to lose others. The committees have not failed to take notice that the western Germans, prohibitionists, labor and Irish-American voters, indepen dent Republicans and Gen. Butler are to elect the next president, unless, in fact, the bouse of representatives does, a contingency which some regard as far from impossible. There is not such a fiery and overwhelm ing desire that Blame shall go to the White House as there was in 1876. This is precisely what Blame saw to be the case last winter. lie knew bis heyday was in 1870, and that since then his popularity lias moved like that of all politicians who have passed their day. All the flattery of the men who sought him last winter could not dissuade him from that belief. Blame last winter said tbe rank and file of the two parties would not decide the battle, but the deserters would, and lie kaew his candidacy would result in a large number of deser tions. Bluine,, himself, regards the choice of Cleveland as an unwise one for the Demo cratic party, yet he thinks that in spite of the bad nomination that desertions are going to be great enough in some states now re garded as surely Republican, to cost the party those states. The Republican man agers, both tho national congressional com mittee are in despair. Reports confirm tbe suspicion of some shrewd politicians who were at the Chicago convention that the Blame enthusiasm was not genuine, but was man ufactured to a great degree, if not to some extent bought. LOGAN'S RECEPTION, At Herkimer Last Eveninsr- His Re marks on the Occasion. Utica, August 11. — (Jen. Logan had a pub lic reception upon arriving in Herkimer to day. Gen.

Aug. 11. — A noted crimi nal came very near training his liberty here this afternoon, if not entirely escaping the clutches of the law. The friends of Geo. Vincent, the notorious English forger, who has been in jail since last February when he attempted to swindle a bank here, appar ently taking advantage of the fact that a tem porary judge was presiding over the criminal court, presented bail for #6,000 aud asked Vincent's release. The judge, believing the security to be ail right accepted the bond and ordered the release of the prisoner. But the suspicion of the chief of police being raised he made a hasty examination of the matter and discovered the man offered as security was irresponsible, therefore the bond was worthless, and just as Vincent was walking down the steps of the court on his way to freedom he was nabbed and returned to prison. A Texas Duel. Tkurell, Tex., Aug. 11.— Bill Dougherty and Zack Gray, youug ranchers, were the principals in a desperately fought duel yes terday evening, in which both men were wouudcd, Gray fatally.

THE MIRACULOUS FISH POND. It was a couple of months or so before the beginning of an exceedinglgdull season that Mr. Julius B. Korner first made his appear ance in London, and he speedily became both an interesting and a popular member of society. He was universally supposed to be of fabulous wealth — a fact all the better established because Mr. Korner never di rectly alluded to it. He lived in a small, but perfectly appointed house in Mayfair, gave admirable dinners, drove first-rate horses, and did all that could reasonably be expected of an unostentatious millionaire. Mr. Kor ner was a widower, with two very attractive daughters, Stella and Sophie, and it was commonly reported that these young ladies would receive very handsome marriage por tions from their indulgent father. It was uot, perhaps, surprising, that so at tractive a family should be much sought after, and within a very few weeks of their arrival tbe Korners found themselves over whelmed with invitations. Among the most intimate of their friends was a certain Lady Rubicon, a bustling, lively matron with a somewhat impecunious husband aud a large family. Lord and Lady Rubicon were in tbe habit of making fre quent trips to America, where his lordship owned a cattle ran eh aud several drinking saloons; and it was on the return voyage from one of these excursions that they had made the acquaintance of the Korners. On board an Atlantic steamer friendship ripens quickly, and it was in great measure owing to Lady Rubicon's good offices that the American family had been so well re ceived in London. The Korners were grate ful, and Lady Rubicon was fully disposed to take advantage of her position. She had al most given up the idea of securing Korner himself for her eldest daughter, but she was determined that her scapegrace son should marry one of the girls. As the Hon. Humph rey Pique was on the point of leaving the Guards, owing to hopeless impecuniosity, there was not much time to be lost, so ho danced attendance ou Mis 3 Stella with unre mitting diligence, while his mother lost no chance of aiding in his suit. One day Lady Rubicon came around to the house in May fair, and with an air of great importance asked to see Mr. Korner alone. '•You shall know all about it pretty soon, my dears," she remarked to the girls, "but your father and I must have a talk first." Mr. Korner knew that Lady Rubicon had a favorite weakness of making mysteries out of nothing, so he rose and courteously led the way to the library. "My dear Mr. Korner," said the matron, "we have such a delightful scheme on hand, and you must help in it!" "I shall be only too pleased," answered the imperturbable Koruer. "But may I ask what is the scheme, aud who are 'we J' " "Oh, 'we' are everybody — everybody that is, who is anybody; and we are going to have a fancy fair for the benefit of the Hospital for the diseases of the eyebrow." Mr. Korner looked a little mystified. "A fancy fair?" he repeated. "Oh, I forgot you had been so short a time iv England! There will be stalls, you know and people dressed iv fancy costumes will sell things, and we are going to have au old English street and a Turkish bazaar, and all sorts of things, including the Mahdl's camp. lam sure you would look delighful as the Malidi, with a black beard aud a blanket." Mr. Korner passed his hand meditatively arrpss-hls chin. "If ever I dressed myself forshow I am afraid I should have to choose something a little less attractive," he said. "By no means. You shall choose your own costume ; but you really must help us, you and the girls. You will, won't you!" "I eau deny you nothing," said Mr. Kor ner, with an air of old-fashioned courtesy he was rather fond of assuming. "And I have no doubt that my daughters will be charm ed." Lady Rubicon expressed her thanks in fer vent terms, and so the matter was settled. Stella and Sophie were delighted with the idea, and the Korner family were duly en rolled upon the aristocratic staff of assistants at tbe fancy fair for the benefit of the Hospi tal for diseases of tbe eyebrow. Mr. Korner himself consented to become a member of the managing committee. The Albert Hall was, of course, engaged for the occasion ; the patronage of royalty was asked for and graciously accorded; the prime minister, the home secretary, and other distinguished personages promised to attend, and the Hon. Humphrey Pique, with great good uature, volunteered to become honorary secretary and look after the funds. Tbe committee devoted long and anxious thought to the allotmentof the various duties of the assistants, male and female. There were all sorts of prejudices to soothe, and litt le jealousies to mollify. All the best-look ing women bad to be selected to serve as re freshment stall-keepers and venders of but ton holes and cigars, and the choice was the cause of terrible bickerings and heartburn ings. The Duchess of Colpos. a fine woman, but somewhat overburdened with superfluous flesh, insisted upon being allowed U> peram bulate the hall arrayed as a flower girl, while Lady Victoria Vespa threatened to withdraw her name unless she were permitted to de vote her undeniably fine teeth to the con genial tflek of biting off the ends of cigars. But Lady Rubicon and her colleagues tri um phantiy overcame every difficulty, and the fair promised to be a huge success. Of course, the Korners were consulted at an early period as to the precise p»rt they wished to take in the proceediucs. Mr. Koruer said he was profoundly indifferent; he left all these things in the bands of his daughters; Stella was a clever girl and was certain to suggest something. She soon decided, for the next time Lady Rubicon called she an nounced that tbey were going to keep a fish pond. "Charming," cried Lady Rubicon, "I know what you mean. You put a lot of par cels in a sort of inclosed place, aud people have little fishing-rods and angle for the par cels with hooks. lam sure that will be de lightful." "Yes, that Is exactly what I mean," re plied Stella. "I think it really ought to be great fun. - ' "I am sure it will: and what are you go ring to put inside the parcels, dear?" "Ob. sweets, or toys, or scent, or pome thing. But yon must not be too inquisitive, Laly Rubicon : papa is going to take thd fish pond in hand, and he is sure to contrive something interesting and original.'' At that moment the millionaire himself entered the room. "We were talking of the fish pond, Mr. Korner,"' said Lady Rubicon. "I hear that you arc going to invent some wonderful novelty for It." "Scarcely that, Lady Rubicon'" answered Mr. Korner, with his usual quiet smile and a deprecatory wave of the band: "but I dare say that I shall be able to find out something to amuse those who fish. I have hardly thought of lt, however, myself yet." "I am certain that is a wonderfully clever man." mused Lady Rubicon, as she drove homewards. "He will make a great noise in the world some day. So handsome and distinguished, too. His daughters are a diff erent style of beauty ; I suppose tbey take after their mother. ' ' About a week before the opening day of the fair, Mr. Korner ran over to Paris. It was noticed that be had been very busy and preoccupied of late : he bad been seen but little in tbe park, and seemed to spend most of bis time in a sort of studio at tbe back of his house. His daughters explained that be had a good deal of business on hand just then, and that he was, moreover, deeply ab sorbed in scheming some really surprising novelties for the fish pond. "It is so good of your father to take so much trouble when be bas other matters to attend to!" said Lady Rubicon to Stella. "Papa likes being busy," answered that yonng lady. "He left for Paris last night, where he has gone about the things for the pond." "Really! And when do you expect him back?" "To-morrow or the day after. I think he will bring tbem with bim." "Do you know, dear. I am perfectly dying of curiosity about that fl»h nond. TWm't -an think you could tell me what Is going to be put in "it?" "My dear lady Rubicon," laughed Stella, "to tell the truth, I don't even know my self." "What a mysterious man your father must be," sighed her ladyship. Mr. Korner returned to London a couple of days later, aud lost no time in acquainting Lady Rubicon with the fact. He told her that he had been eminently successful in his mission; that, after much anxious cogi tation, he had arranged something alto gether marvelous aud sensational for the fish pond; and that, with the aid of an astute shopman from the Palais Royal, he had car ried out his idea In a very perfect manner indeed. In fact he authorized her to add a couple of lines to the latest edition of posters and circulars, announcing that the flsh pond would be the greatest attraction of the entire fair, and guaranteeing no oue who spent ten shillings for the U9e of a rod would ever re gret bis or her labor or money. Of course, Lady Rubicon would not con fess that she knew as little about Mr. Kor nea'c real Intentions as the rest of the world. She informed all her acquaintances that she and the Hon. Humphrey had been initiated into the mystery under inviolable vows of secrecy, and hinted that Mr. Korner had carried out his design in accordance with a suggestion of her own. One condition only Mr. Korner insisted upon, which Lady Rubicon and the commit tee considered on reflection to be extremely reasonable and proper, and that was that each person who secured one of the mysteri ous parcels should solemnly promise not to open and examine his or her prize before reaching home. "You will at once see, Lady Rubicon," said Mr. Korner, smiling, "that this is abso lutely necessary. If peoplo are allowed to open the parcels in the hall there will be an end at once to the mystery." Her ladyship of course saw the necessity, and was more than ever impressed with the astuteness of the millionaire. Tho evening before the fair was opened, Mr. Korner him self drove down to the Albert Hall, and was shortly followed by a very large van which contained the parcels for the Miraculous flsh pond. Lady Rubicon and he had fixed an hour when every one except a few workmen bad left the building, and the operation of ar ranging the packages in their "pond" was performed in the absence of all responsible individuals except her ladyship and the Hon. Humphrey. Mr. Korner was very careful about his parcels. He explained that many of them contained glass, and required cau tious handling, and he superintended the entire operation in person. "You and the .girls will be here early to morrow morning won't you'?" she said, as she bade goodnight to the American. "Certainly, we are always punctual." And he left her charmed with his cou rtesy. The next morning was bright and fine. Lady Rubicon was early astir, and eagerly opened her letters to see if any of her friends were going to desert her at the fair. Much to her disgust she read the following: My Deah Lady Rubicok — I am truly sorry to be obliged to be absent from the fair to-morrow. Important business de mands my presence in Paris, and I am start ing by the night boat. Wishing you every success, to whi2h I trust the flsh pond will contribute, with profound regret, believe me to be, Yours, very sincerely, J. B. Korner. "How very annoying," ejaculated Lady Rubicon; "but the girls will be there. I really must make Humphrey come to the point with Stella." Misfortunes never come singly, as Lady Rubicon discovered, for when she got to the hall a couple of hours later she found a tele gram from Miss Korner saying that she and her sister had been summoned to Devon shire to the bedside of a dying aunt. "Was there ever anything quite so annoy ing?" exclaimed Lady Rubicon. I never even knew they had au aunt in Devonshire. It is really most provoking." However, there wits no help for it, and as soon as the Hon. Humphrey made his ap pearance his mother explained to him that lie must act as showman of the fish pond, describe its manifold attractions to the crowd, and descant eloquently upou tho treasures which the generous millionaire bad scattered broadcast among the paper parcels. "You must talk as if you knew all about it, you know, Humphrey. Everybody thinks we are in the secret, so it will never do to confess our ignorance," added his mother, judiciously. Like a dutiful son, Mr. Pique consented, and wis soon busily engaged in his arduous duties. Among his earliest customers hap pened to be Lady Harcourt herself. She angled successfully, and landed a small but substantial parcel. "You mustn't open it here, you know," said the Hou. Humphrey, laughing. "Dear me, what a pity," said her lady ship. "Well, I will take it home and show it to Sir William ; he likes mysteries." Her ladyship's example was followed by hun dreds of other visitors; in fact, as had been expected, the fish pond was the great attrac tion. Four o'clock came and the fair was in full swing; the stalls were doing a roaring trade; the duchess had sold innumerable button holes; Lady Victoria's teeth positively ached from biting cigars :all the prettiest women in London were perambulating the ball, dress ed in more or less outrageous costumbe nnd flirting impartially with peers and shopboys in the sacred cause of charity. The Hon. Humphrey, gorgeously arrayed in green plush and silk stockings, had shouted him self hoarse at the fish pond, half-sovrcigns were pouring in upon him, and a regular queue of people were waiting for their turn to angle for one of the milllonair's wonder ful presents. Just when the fun was at Its height a couple of footmen in livery elbowed their way unceremoniously through the crowd and seized the Hon. Humphrey by each arm. "What's the matter?" ejaculated that young gentleman, dropping his eye-glasses and staring in astonishment at bis assail ants. One man leaned forward and whispered a word in the Hon. Humphrey's ear. The ef fect upon that scion of nobility was electri cal. His face turned ghastly pale, his jaw fell, he cast a terrified glance toward the lish pond, and then made a violent plunge for ward. '•Gently, sir, gently," said the man, sternly. "Let me get out! good heavens, let me get out!" screamed the Hon. Humphrey. "Not just yet, sir," replied bis tormentor. "Tell 'em the ball must be cleared at once," be added to bis companion in a low voice, and then came to pasa a most remarkable phenomenon. Policemen seemed to spring up in every direction. In two minutes a line was formed around the fish pond, and tbe crowd was politely but firmly told that must at once disperse. At first there was a certain amount of angry remonstrance, and even of forcible opposition ; but somehow or other a mysterious word began to be whis pered about which bad a miraculous effect in disarming all resistance. With one consent everybody turned tail and fled. Flower girls, peasants, Watteau shepherdesses, Spanish gypsies, eighteenth century courtiers, actors and actresses, singers, musicians, perform ers of every description, joined with the struggling mob of ordinary humanity in a mad rush for the doors. Even when safe outside uo one thought of stopping. En tirely regardless of their eccentric costumes, tbey bolted wildly in every direction, and several stout old ladies and gouty old gen tlemen ran at least a half a mile or more without pausing to recover their breath or to ask for further particulars. In Kensington Gore thoae persons who were not senseless from terror beard leather, lunged newsboys bellowing, "Spechul edee shun," ''"Orrible attempt to assaseioate the 'Orae Secretary," "Discovery of infernal machines!" and on buying s paper read the following startling announcement: "This morning Lady Harcourt attended tbe fancy fair at the Albert Hall, and upon returning home .«hc- brought with her a small sealed parcel, which it seems she bad pur i-based there. It was opened in the presence of Sir William Harcourt, and turned out to be an infernal machine, constructed with diabolical ingenuity, which bad only failed to explode by a miracle. Four private de tectives, who are always in attendance on tbe Home Secretary, disguised as footmen, at once proceeded to tbe Albert Hal! to in vestigate tbe occurrence, while tbe infernal machine, which is said to resemble a travel in gelock.wa* dispatched to Scotland Yard.
