A BEALLY D18GEA0EFUL DEFEAT.

Heavily Batted.
Riadinq, Pa., July 38.— Seven hundred
people Mw the Qulekstep-Ai tlve game In
thin city, this afternoon*w ben the Wilming
ton club received almost the wont defeat of
the season, end waa atlll more firmly died
I» the position at the tail end of the race lor
the Inter-State championship pennant, which
gloriously earned last week.
The principal causes of the overwhelming
defeat were toe heavy batting of the Actives
and the miserable fielding, ol the visitors.
The Actives bit for a total of 24 bases, while
the Quicksteps had 12 errers, six of which
wer mad. by Fox at third base. His bad
playiDg wasamatterofmuch surprise,Iu view
of the isultless work he has heretofore been
doing In this position. Pyle and Geary were
the Quickstep battery, and the Reading
players batted Pyle more freely than they
ever did before. In the seventh inu.ng they
rattled him for ten base hits. The Actives'
battery was composed ol Morris and Cat
roll, and Morris, who la left-handed, puz
zled the visitors with his peculiar delivery.
When they hit him they hit hard, hut be
struck out nine of them. For the Quick
steps, Albert, Kelnsle and Higgins made
two-baae hits. The only double play ot the
it
game was made by the Actives,
weather was threatening, but the game was
not interfered with. Following is the score
by Innings.

A £ood story Is told on the president of
the Harrisburg club. When he heard that
the Merritts were about to disband he
posted in hot haste to Reading, where the
Merritts were playing. He interviewed the
nine and got their prices. For the moment,
he was staggered. Glimpses of thousand
dollar notes running along telegraph wires
came before his vision and then turned into
gold pieces before
Id: "Gentlemen,
we have two banks In Harrisburg, but the
people have only deputized me to oder you
one of tbeîn." He bowed himself out md
then traveled slowly home a sadder but a
wiser man.

NOTES OF THE STRIKE.
The Philadelphia Commercial Exchange

that tbe difficulties between the telegraph
companies and their employes should have
been avoided, and that the action ol both
parties to the controversy Is equally repre
hensible.
A committee appointed by the various
commercial bodies of New Orleaus adopted
a resolution declaring that the imperfect
telegraph service has served to prostrate
business, and urging the Western Union
Company to take auch immediate action
will prevent a coutiuuauce of the heavy
losses aud serious InnrnTrwtMum nftMTii Injl
sustained by the whole commercial com
munity.
At a meeting of the striking telegraphers
iu New York laat night Mr Mitchell, editor
of the Telegraphers' Advocate , said: "It is
apparent that the Western Union intends to
fight. Well, they will have to fight to the
bitrer end. I can teil you that tbe Brother
hood will wage war until the Western Union
gives in or becomes bankrupt." The officers
of the Western Union say everything is
nlng smoothly, and that iittle trouble from
the strike is now perceptible.
The Western Union check boys at Pitts
burg struck ou Saturday for an advace of 15

SAVED FROM THE SEA.
A Drowning Bather Bravely Rescued at
Atlautio City.
Atlantic Cite, July 29.—A thrilling in
cident varied the bustle of life along the
beach this afternoou. Shortly after 12
o'clock a Philadelphia merchant named
Gleason and his brother were in bathing iu
the vicinity of the graud pier, among hun
dreds of others at that point. The board
walk swarmed with thousands of pedes
trians, and fully two thousand persons
watched the bathers from the pier. Sud
denly there was a cry for help and the spec
tators 6 aw the two Gleasons struggling in
the surf »bout 100 yards from the beach.
One finally broke away from the other and
struck out for the shore. The spectators
were thrilled to see the other wave bis arms
his head and then sink from sight,
buried uuder an enormous breaker.
Mike Bradford, who
at his store near
by, heard tbe crits of the excited multitude
and dashing down the board-walk ran into
the pier. The broad passageway was blocked
<vit fa people, but, striking right and left
tud yelllmr to clear the way, he wormed him
self through the packed mass of humanity
mtil he wa« three hundred feet or more out
on the pier. The victim 1 f tbe waves mean
vhile had uttered oue last cry for help and
had disappeared, only to rise again an inert
form tossed by the waves.
Bradford reached the pier railing, sprang
upon it, and, with a tremendous leap,
plunged headlong into the waves. 300 feet
below. He reached the drowning than,
grasped him with one hand aud endeavored
u> drag him toward the beach. The victim
seemed to be suddenly endowed with re
newed life, and turning upon his rescuer,
sauk his teeth iu Brad lord's left thumb to
the bone, dragging him beneath the
waves. Then a struggle for life began, wit
nessed by thousands of anxious watchers
shore and pier. Finally Gleason ceased his
struggles aud Bradford dragged the uncon
scious man through the breakers to the
shore, where the brave act was greeted with
cheers. Gleason was, after hard work, re
suscitated and taken t » his home, corner of
Vine and Second streets, Philadelphia.
