THE NATIONAL GAME. Detroit Still Leads in the Race for the League Base-Ball Championship. Interesting News and Gossip About the Uanie The Record of the Tarlous Clubs. CHICAGO COKBERPONDENCE.l Two weeks ago Detroit bad tho call as a permanent w inning club so completely that mnny predicted ft clear walk-away lor me AN olverincs, and a consequently flat and uninteresting race for the League pennant. TMs opinion was entertained by De troit ere not only, but ' by admir ers of (he game everywhere, and per haps such an opinion was warranted to a considerable extent. Detroit has played a magnificent game from the outset, and if heavy batting will win, which is not improbable nnder the new rules, the belief th it the Wolverine will fly the flag over their own beant'fully located park next season may not be far out of the way. But the seasou is still voting. J here is a diirk-hoiBe element in the ranks which reudcrs nlniost any condition of things possible before the League clubs shall nave made their last spurt in the race. Boston, New York and l'hiladelphia are following Detroit s lead determinedly, and a little streak of bad luck upon the part of the Wolverines would be apt to give Mike Kelly's men a lead that would change the complexion of thincs materially, lie- ports of the two Decoration Day games stow two splendidly contested games at ronton between these two leaders, and De troit wou one by a score of '2 to 1, while Boston captured the other by 4 to 3. The thnractcr of the games indicates the Btrength of the Boston Club to be dan gerously near that of Detroit, notwith standing the great biting pow er of tho lat ter organization. Pittsburg and Chicago are neither of them out of the race as yet, while the Indianapolis club, with Jack Glasscock at its bead and Denny as its lieutenant. may prove a stumbling block in the way of Borne ambitious would-be pen nant winner that will rnin its chances in the end. During the past week Detroit fell back a trifle in its lead, having drop tied a game to Washington and one to New iork. but it Btill has an advance or. three games won and four less lost than lioston, its nearest competitor. isew lort managed to win a couple of games, but nearly offset its gain by dropping a game to both Detroit and Pittsburgh, while the only stump the l'hillies have run against has been AnBon s men. Y lth its warnings during tho past Beven days, Chicago has crowded ahead, nnlil now it stands tied with the Smoky City lads for fifth place, both of these clubs being but three games each behind Philadelphia.

A IiAWIf TENNIS CRAZE. The meeting of the Western Lawn Ten nis Association, held at the Tremont House in this city, was one of the most largely attended and enthusiastically conducted meetings ever held in the interests of this rapidly gtowing and popular outdoor sport.

The second prizes will be gold mednN, and the third prizes will be fancy inlaid tennis rackols. During the past two years the interest in lawn-tennis has increased wonderfully, and tennis clubs are now forming in all parts of the Western country. In Cbicngo, last year, there were at least twenty tennis clubs, with from a dozen to a hundred members eaeh and already this season there are nearly fifty more added to the list. Many of the social, boat and cricket clubs are taking it tip, and local dealers in these goods say that business In this line is far ahead of any previous year. J t is ex pected that at the tomnament to be held in Angnst there will be at least a hundred entries, and that tome of the noted players of tho East will be among tho contestants. fi ll !. 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 .. .. 1 GRAYLING, LABOR AND INDUSTRY.

The great lock-out in the building trades continues nt Chicago, lloth sides are Klubborn, and unseit th ir determination to prolong the fight through the entiro build ing reason rather than yield. There are 1?,IK)0 unskilled laborers, 10,000 brick m tkera, 5,(MK hod-cariieis, and .10,000 bricklayers involved in the lock-out. The KiiltfliU of Labor. TtiFitr. are now nearly 10,700 local as semblies of Knights that is, that number of charters Lave been issued. Tho Iowa farmer are coming into the order sttadily. 1 h-) 'J ittiHvillo Knights aro building a hall. New assemblies aie bvin organized in Virginin. Catholics ate joining the Knights in large numbers in Canada since the issue cf the notico that Knights might receive the Bacrarocnt. Another national district is being formed of painters, wall-paper hangers, brushmakers and kindred trades in New York and some other Eastern cities. The Knights of Labor lecturers are greatly encoaraged in the WcBt with tho development of a more intelligent compre hension of the purposes of the order. The Western Knights take more interest in lec tures, libraries, Looks, papers, etc, than do those of the Eastern Btates. Mrs. Emma Smith is Master Workman of an assembly of female stitchers in Chicago. District Assembly No. 24, of Chicago, will have an excursion aud picnic on Juno 27. The Chicago ship-carpenters expect soon to have an assembly of their own. The Maryland Knights meet in State Convention on J une 27 at Baltimore.

NatchaTj cas has closed down all the coal mines around Johndown, Pa., and haa caused a sudden collapse of values in such coal properties, who:o owners have for years been marking up the nominal values. The Cambria Company has extensive coal leases which aro now comparatively value less. The Chinese Government has ordered from a Birmingham (England) firm ninety noiseless automatic presses, wh'ch Lave a capacity of coining 2,700,000 pieces per day of ten hours. They aro to be ready in one year. 1 no itoyai Mini or ixmuon nas six teen of tbo same kind. The development of rich coal-bods in the f .ir Northwot threatens to revolutionize the mining industry. One vein Bit feet thick has been found. Ihero is a great boom in mining operations, and milling machinery makers aro in receipt of largo orders for quick delivery. Eveky la-go manufacturing center in France has a technical educational estab lishment. Five hundred scholarships have been established at an annual Government expense of $15t),0d0. Germany is far ahead of France in the matter of technical education. TifE two creat copper-producing com panies in the Northwest are greatly increas ing their capacity, lhc capital or me Ana conda has been increased to $ 20,000,000, and the Calumet and Hecla has increased its output capacity thirty per cent. Silver and gold mining is attracting moro capital. 'Ibe silver production has increased in the ratio of $3'J in 1BH0 to $51 in 18S(. Silver production has increased throughout tho world from $G2,000,00J in 1872 to $124,000,000 in 18HG. Tn it f.e Ontario weavers have invented a process for weaving cloths of mixed ma terials bo that they shall be inseparably woven, showing one surface of hemp or jute, and tho other of cotton or wool. At a meeting of the United Labor party of Denver a renolutton was passed to. buy tents and camp out altogether on accouut of tho 20 per cent, advance in rents without n corresponding advnnco in waes. Steelmakers are busy in foreign conn- tries and iron makers are finding less and less to do. The discharged workmen aro seeking for work, and see no remedy but in otLor and unfamiliar employment. Great interest is shown by the wage- workers of Indiana in the United Labor party. Eighty counties in Ohio have been organized, and Gen. Weaver is making a tour of the State. Contracts havo been placed for two steamboats for Lako Chautauqua. They aro to have a guaranteed speed of twenty- two miles an hour. The work will bo done at the Cleveland Rolling-Mills. A iicildino and loan association estab lished in Milwaukee, with a capital of $5, 000.000. to bnild power for mechanics and laborers. Capital is being attracted in that direction. The people of Buffalo evpeet soon to Lave a supply or gas for domestic- pur poses. The sncceBS of the Western building and loan associations has led to much moro building of small houses than would havo been possible without that system of mut nal banking. A party of Fnglish capitalists have made extensive mineral Investments near Cum berland Gap, Ky., with a view to coal de velopment and the building of iron works. All manufacturing firms and corpora tions nsing scrip in Pennsylvania must hereafter file returns showing the amount of scrip issued, and pay a 10 per cent, tax on it. The New England house-builders are making no effort to advance wages. Em plovers are putting up a great many small houses, which they will sell on easy terms The Western miners expect to re-estab lish satisfactory rates of wages, although the temporary dullness in tho markets makes employers less willing and anxious. Oct of the 95,000 strikers during May 40,000 were In the building trades, 13,000 coke makers, and 8,700 stove molders. A ore at many new enterprises will be heard of during tho summer if favorable trs''" and industrial conditions shall con tinue. Tool works and foundries and machine shops are springing np rapidly in tho South, and Northern skilled labor is in de mand. .As many new silk-manufacturing films are springing np in Paterson as are going out of it. SortTHERX cotton mills are paying from 10 to 20 per cent, dividends. The German bartenders talk of forming a national union. JUSTICE AND RIQHT-: MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, WILLIAM A, WHEELER."

A Three Days' International Conten tlon of Sunday-school Promoters and Teachers. nterosting Eeports Thorough and Ef ficient Organization Discussed by the Delegate?. Tho .Fifth International Sunday-school Convention was held nt Chicago on the 1st, 2d and 3d days of June. There was a targe attendance of delegates, every sectlvm Df the country being represented. I'eports an Sunday-school work, essays, speeches, and lectures on the various branches of work to be done ia Sunday-schools, occu- ied tho time of the delegates during the Ihree days' session. Tho Statistical Secre tary, Mr. E. PayBon Porter, presented an entertaining paper on the purposes of Sunday-School work during the past your, from w.iich we make the following extract : During tho laxt term the State ot Delaware the province of llrltixh Columbia, and tho Ter ritories of Idaho, Utah, and Washington have been orvani-red ; Iho IjouUiana nd Vtiscomdn, reHirtd at the last convention an lapsed, have been reorganized, l'eunsyivama nas noon added to the list of banner htates, every county having organized for Kunday-school work. One hundred ami ninetv-ioiT banner counties nave been reiioi tod a gain of eighty over the lust reiKirt, anil 1,411 counties are reported com pletely organlzod by township or districts, each county l-eing a banner county. Tho States of Arkansas, Noith Carolina, and South Carolina, tho prov nco of l'riueo Edward's Island, and the Territories of Arizona and Now Mexico, retorted organized at the last In- teruHtional convention, are now rciwrtod as lapHed. It has been tbo purpose of the inter national Sunday-School Association to stimu late, through its statistical work, tho work of interdenominational organization. While it is dewirablo that accurate statistics be secured fro:n any reliable source, it Is inoro important that each State, Province and Territory Mhould know from actual canvass the exact condition of the work in iti rcapective territory. This can only be accomplished by thorough Interdenominational organization. Each coun ty in the Unit a States is sub divided polit cally into cities, 'townships, pre cincU, parishes, loroughs, or districts.

As an aid to completeness, it is rcc oinimndod that maps of the Meld should bo made, locating the Sunday-schools by a system of wafers, colors represoutinj tno denomina tion m. llev. H. C. Woodruff made an interest- inst report on the Foreign Sunday-School Association, lie gave a lucid insight into the methods adopted for the introduction of the international svstem in foreign countries. In Franco and Central Europe the work is most active. In Bohemia alono there are 2,C83 scholars in the association, and in the province of Moravia 1,400 scbol ars. In Italv, Spain, and Portugal en conraging progress has been made. Dr. Woodrutt's address was followed by an ap propriate missionary hymn. Mr. Edward Towers, honorary Secretary of tLe London Sunday-School Union, was introduced, and the delegates and vis tors all arose to give tho Enulish delegate -n cordial welcome. Mr Towers read resolutions of greeting nd sympathy from the London society. "In England," said he, "we do many things as you do here, but in some details we l ave different methods. Wo believe in mak ng the Hchools pleasant for young people, especially for young men. Wo find it necesBaiy to compete with tho attractions of the worlJ. In Scotland a novel plan has been adopted to interest the rough lads who are difficult to control. A number of bonds of militia have been organized, in which the bos have been kept in strict discipline at' drill, and the discipline is carried into the Bchool-room. Wo have also organized a Bible-Heading Society which has 150,000 members, nil of whom havo promised to read from the Bible every day." "Better Organization" was the subject of an interesting discussion, and a number of speakers presented their views as to tho lcBt methods for extending the usefulness of Snnday-Bchool work. Ilev. Julius Grammar, D.D., rector of St. Peter's Epis copal Church, Baltimore, said that the first 'essential of a teacher was perHonal piety. Without it, there could bo no permanent success achieved in the Sunday school. The Billo should be tie text-l ook of the school; it was the chaiter and compass of tho church, and tho infallible standard of faith aud morals. Organization was in operative, for without it an army becamo a mob. W. H. Hall, of Connecticut; E. G. Wheelor, Oregon; D. P. Ward, Dakota; llev. H. W. Bailey, Kentucky; and B. A. Mo't, Minncoia, also spoko on the subject, and .avo illustrations of tho work being done. Bev. J. A. Worden, D. D., of New Jer sey, spoke on missionary Sunday-school work. The necessity for I borough mission ary labor was Bhowu by the fact that over nine million of children in the States were yet outside tho schools. '1 he European na tions wore sending over hosts of people who had not received tho advantages of ed ucation, and, indeed, many of them were imbr.ed with sentiments of hate and antipa thy to govemmont of all kinds. Their chil dien were not likely to grow up much bet ter if tho Sunday-school did not gather them in.' Mr. W. A. Duncan, Now York, spoko on the subject of couutry Sunday-school evan gelization and home classes. He advo cated the organization of Slate, county, and town as the only way in which to reach tho masses. Iho civil and political organiza tion of Ihe country was the guide lor the Sunday schools, and by that means only could the fullest success bo attained. The wants of distant districts could only be as c rtainod by such assemblages as State conventions, town and couniy meetings, and isiting committe. s. Tho bulk of the work of evangelization was yet east of Ch:e.to. Gen. Cl'nton B. Fiske was called upon to apeak on temt rmee, and in responding to the invitation tho General said that he bardly d.ired to advocate his ideas regard ing that sul j ct beforo so mixed au assem blage, for they werj too pronounced for iuod people. Ho looked upon the church and Sunday scho ) os the most potent fac tor! iu SiCnring prohibition, and every pulpit ovtg t to bo tho placo of all others where the principles of tempernnco should bo thundered into the enrs of the peorle. J here wns no such obstacle in tho way of Ihe progre of tho church and Christianity as the saloon, and it must bo removed by the elTorts of t: oie within tho church, not by laws. Two papers on "College Boat-Baclng,' tiarticulirrly timelr in view of the New udon races, will appear in the Juno Crnturv. One, with i lustrations, is by Julian Hawthorne, famous on tho Harvard crew of his day. The other is by a Yale man. . It is very singular how death seems to give people a tinor id it of a man's char acter, whether for good or evil, than they ever posses cd while I e lived among them. "Is Ihe man dead?" n"ked n rcpotter of a policeman niter au accident. "Not yet." replied tho clTlcer. ' Tho doctors haven't pome." Publisher and Proprietor, NUMBER 7. MICHIGAN LKMbXATURE.

Tho second train struck a cow belonging to Thomas White, at the crossing next to tho old depot, kill ing tho cow and throwing one car from the track which ran on the ties for a quarter of a mile before any ot the balance of the train followed suit. Ten cars left the track then, piling np the logs, cars, etc., in one big $8,000 pile on top and on either side of the track. Fortunately no one was hurt, although the whole crew on the train nar rowly escaped, one brakeman being on the last car that went off.
