Pottsvillb, August 8.—The Anthracite»
jumped on the Quickstep in the first inning
to-day and secured a lead which the visitors
could not wrest from them. Fox was hit
hard and sent four men to bases on balls.
His pitching was wild and Cusi k caught
with difficulty. Reynolds, on the other
hand, worked with Graay like clock-work.
The game was well played, A unis, McLaugh

plays, tbe latter accepting nineteen out ol
twenty chances. Tbe score follows :

Harkisburo, August 8.—The Harrisburg
club gained a very creditable championship
victory over the Brooklyn to-day, defeating
them by a score of 5 to 1. The Brooklyn
could not hit Schappert, making but three,
while the Harrisburg pounded Kimber for
10 hits, with a total of 14. The feature of
the game was a catch by Scbenck, of Brook
lyn, at third of a ball that went like a flash
of lightning. It was the finest catch ever
made on the grounds. McCatferty, the um
pire, who came near bei.:g mobbed
day, was very fair to-day. The following

nine
a v-ry elose and Interesting game
with the Eclipse of Louisville, this after
noon. The batting of both clubs was weak
and the fielding at times rather loose, yet
the extreme closeness of the contest was
sufficient to make it one of the most exciting
games of tbe season. The following is the
summary :

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 3.—A great game
was expected between the Cincinnati and
St. Louis to-day, aud the hopes oi the 3,300
spectators were fully realized. The home
team crawled out of a very small hole in the
ninth inning, but the score counts all the
same. The pitchers had most of the work
to do. as the batting was light on both sides.
The score was as follows:

A GAME THROWN AWAY.
Philadelphia, August 3.—The Balti
mores made 16 errors In their game with
the Athle'ics this alteruoon and thereby
suffered
wildly, an 1 such bard hitters as Blrchall,
dtovey and Moyuah^u he would teud to their
bases without placing a ball withtng strik
ing distance. It is very probable that if the
bitching had been more regui
etics would have suffered a defeat,
aud O'Brien, of the Baltimore, batted in
graud style, and Corey carried off all the
honors in the field. Striker had an off day,
aud Say, while making some brilliant plays,
also must be credited with several very
damaging errors.
The Athletic obtained a run in the first
inning by errors, and were then whitewashed
Iu the meantime the
Baltimore secured four runs on four base
hits, Clinton clearing the page with a two
baser in the second inning, after the side
Iu the fourth iuuing
the Athletic made a couple of runs although
neither were earned. Moy nahan hit heavily ior
two bases in this inning. In the filth inning
the Athletic got five runs
the fielding ol the Baltimore being execra
ble, and Henderson sending three men to
bases. Another run was also made in the
uext tuning, completing a total of nine. In
the meantime tto visitors, while hitting hea
vily, failed to bunch their hits until the
eighth inning, when two earned ruus were
scored by a single by Rowe, a three-base by
Leary and a good single by McCormack.

at Weÿinouth station, «bout 19 miles « est

is supposed to be conclusive proof that the
man killed was Charles Neher, as tbe des

At the junction Charles
got off with the
intention of going Imefc »o Atlantic City in
seaich of his brother Jose h, who hal been
left. Intelligence from May'sLaudiug,where
the body was taken after the accident hap
pened, is to the effect that tbe man was
struck by the limited express which leaves
Atlantic City at about 11 o'clock. The
body was bully mangled, the top of the
head being torn off and both arms and legs
being severed from the trunk.
Inquiry ab- -ut this city tailed to reveal
any definite proof, and oven thf young uneu
who arrived from Atlantic Ciéy last evening
were unable to give any facts and appeared
surprised when Qld of the accident.
Should the mau killed tarn out to be

since 1876, the loss

since that dute, taking the average toy

possibly new hollers for pumping works;
some euch items are expected troai yeaf to
year, aid are provided for the average yearly
expense estimates. The loss referred to of
$16,000 yearly, has been made good, as
needed, from the contingent fund,
fund was created in 186* as a protection to
the mortgage loan of the company, In case
of any serious disaster to the canal or its
works. The surplus revenues of the com
pany have been invested in other securities
than said Mortgage Loan until 1876, as will
be seen from the annual reports, at which
time the fund had to its credit $151,000, to
be applied to payments on account of any
damage to the canal, thus avoiding the bor
rowing of money for sueh purpose outside
the company's own treasury. From the
company's reports, it will be seen that the
financial condition of the company was
satisfactory, although the revenue bad
been falling off for several years
previous. 8till the Company enjoyed
a fair share of the trade moving north and
south.
In 1877, it was deemed advisable by the
managers, that the Canal Company Bhould
obtain the right to transport passengers and
freight, which included that of owning
steamers, wharves, &c., necessary for that
kind of business. This right was obtained
by the proper legislation, and became apart
of tbe original charter of the company, but,
or some reason better known to a few of the
members of the management, this valuable
franchise has not been made profitable, at
least oot for the benefit of tbe stock and
loanholders of the Canal Company.
The loanholders are auxlous about the
present condition of things, and the feeling
is that of fear that another cyclonic wave
will certainly come, but only to the utter
ruin of the prospects of the stockholders.
Is there no remedy? Yes, beint a loanholder
myself and hving some knowledge of the
company's affairs, a few suggestions or ideas
are thrown out and offered to the man
agers who have the welfare of the
company at heart The canal prop, r it>
only 14 miles in length; is in the best con
dition, and has a lock capacity tor passing
steamers of 510 tons freight room. The
revenue of the Canal Company is derived
from various permanent sources, among
them, that received from the Erricsson
Steam Lines, the most valuable. The ton
nage of these lines in past years has been
very heavy, and, as a source of revenue for
the Canal Company very valuable, so much
so, that it was considered a paramount im
portance to foster and encourage an increase
of It by all the protection within its then
power. Siuce 1872, there has been no in
crease of tonnage by these lines, but other
wise, a falling off; especially is this notice
able in the traffic between New York and
Baltimore, via canals. It would be sup
posed that the natural growth of the large
cities and the adjacent country, from which
the steam lines dertve their business, would
show a corresponding Increase of tonhage
and freight revenue to these companies,
but it is not apparent to those
most interested in the welfare of
tbe canal company. If the truth must
be made known, these lines of steamers are
and have been fbr long years enjoying a
monopoly of the freight«between Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York via the canals,
the printed public "Circular" of certain of
the directors of the G. & D. C. Co. to the
coutrary notwithstanding. This is believed
by the business community at large, and is
well known to a few favored ones. As a
consequence of this monopoly, the profits of
these steam lines in the past have been very
large, and now for the suggestion: Let the
canal company transact Its own legitimate
businees—the transportation of freight and
passengers between the cities mentioned;
put the profits, wbat there may be of such,
much or little, in its ovro pocket, and adopt
the modern improvements in the transaction
of such business. Then the result will follow
—no shortage account of revenue at the end
■of each year; the loan of the company goiug
back again to par or néar that desirable end;
and last, not least, the loan maturing in
1886 oan without a dlsoount be extended

Cotton Crop In th*« Memphis District
Memphis, August 3.— The cotton crop re
port of the Memphis district., which embraces
North Mississippi, West Tennessee, North
Arkansas and North Alabama, as compl ed
by Hill,Fontaine «& Co.,for the month of July
says: The cotton plant, which was stunted
by the cold spell of May 21 to 24, has utyer
fully recovered from the damage then
sustained, and the draught which has
prevailed since early fn July has prevented
a heavy growth of the plant, and the
injury has proved permanent. Uu
' most
of the weather during the ne*t
weeks there will be a decreased yield iu the
Memphis district of at least per cent.as
compared with last year. The rains during
the past few days have doubtless afforded
partial relief, but the growing cotton crop
continues iu a critical state, and is subject
sfill further injury by unfavorable
weather, while the smallness of
the plant warrants feare of great
damage in the event of an- early
frost. Reports from Georgia repre
sent the condition of the crops as less favor
