Richmond took another long step toward
pennant to-day by defeating Shar
alg*s colts. Leever was almost invinci
ble. Three hits, so well scattered tii.it
th.y did no harm, was the beat the
locals could do, and the way 1 IB
down lut in? n in one, two. three order
caused the local rooters to weep and
?Heneo pervaded the grandstand thlok
enough to be cut with a knife.
Only flvy Allentown men got on I
one got as Car a.*? third, one to aocon?T
while others died a natural death at tho
Initial ha?- Then* is ho question that
Leever's exhibition of pitching was the

Shannon and Lutenberg got bases on

(New York Herald.)
Aboard the hospital ship Relief, lying
oit Thirty-eighth street, North river, there
was a sadness among tho wounded, the
physlclana, and tho nurses, over the death
?i ?'.iporal George J. Reardon, of Com
pany 10 Sixteenth Infantry, which occur
red shortly after midnight yesterday.
R irdoa'S case was desperate from the
tart, the gallant fellow having been
struck In tho spine by a MAUKCr bullet In
the charge against the Spanish works at
El Caney. He suffered terribly, and from
being ono of tho tallest and most power
ful men in th?> regiment, ho rapidly wasted
iv. ay until, when the Relief reached port
tin Sunday, he was a mere skeleton.
Ii.- knew from tho first that ho had to
lie, but his undaunted courage and hi3 de
lire to see his sister sustained him to the
?ery last, when his wish was gratified,
md he passed a? ay In his slst. r's arms.
Btl constant prayer on the way up from
Siboney wa*j that he should survive to
nach New York, and ho pitiousiy be
?ought the physicians to do all that a is
n their power to prolong his life. In this
eqtx St ho was joined by many of his
'omrades, who pleaded with the doctors I
0 leave then alerto and devote all their
mention to the dying corporal.
A?, soon as the ship had come to her
?nchorage word was sent to Beardon's ]
datar, Miss Annio Iteardon. w??oa borne
s in New London, Conn. She arrived In
tho city on Monday night, and at lance
tvent aboard the Relief. Reardon had
:.et n sinking rapidly all day, and the doe
red that the end might come at
my moment, bat SS his sister reached the
dde of his cot he rallied and recovered
OBSClOtiboesa. His lips moved and a
?mile of recognition lit up his wasted
(eatnrOS as his sister bent over and
listed him. She tried to cheer him up,
?m be murmured:
"No hope, Annie, dear; no hope!"
She remained holdtng the dying man's
>and for several hours, until the surgeon
ranted her that the end was at hand,
vit.?a she exclaimed:
"Thank God, dear George, that you
ought for America: that you fought fot
ha liberty of Cuba!"
With his last breath the bravo fellow
nui mured: "Thank Ood."
Reardon was a famous all 'round ath
, te, and excelled particularly in running
ml Jumping. He was a member of Colo
r's, regiment of Irish volunteers.
ut when he found that tho regiment had
io chance of going to the front he en

pose of making arrangements for the

organizing of the excursion, the appoint
ment of committees, the raising of ne

MB. WIUVH MANIFESTO.
Tbe Second District Conaressman*
Address to Hi? Friend?.
Congressman Richard A. Wise has Jfifl
issued an address to the Republicans ol
the Second District.
It is quite a unique document, in many
respect?, and wa? widely discussed her?
yesterday Uy members of that party. It
contain? a scathing denunciation of the
present organisation, but counsda the
Wickhamltes to drop oll contr?nes?,
participate it? th? meetings called xy the
Republican chairmen of the cities and
counties, who have lately been recognized
as such by Mark Hanua, and endeavor
to wrest the authority from thes? "self
constituted guardians."
MB. WISES MANIFESTO.
The text of.the address is as follow?:
T.< My Republican Friends In the Second
C'onaresslonal District:
The situation of our party In this dis
trict demands that I say a few word?
to roe concerning the approaching nom>
i! it! >n of u. Republican candidat? for
Congress.
First of all, let me thank you for your
peat support of me, end ? ongratulate you
that we were able to thwart thu attempt
of our opponents to falsify the retorna
There Is no reason why, with loyal co
operation among Republicans in this dis
til t, wo cannot continue to have a Re
publican representative.
A nominating convention has been call
ed, it is called by a number of chair
men wh.ise authority has not heretofore
been recognized or admitted by eaeiiy of
my Blends. Still, the qu.-stion Who are
th- Republican chairmen of the* cities and
counties composing this district has gone
before .Mr. Harina, chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, and he has
recogrizL-d the parties who have made
this call.
A PITIFUL MI.VDRITY.
Knowing the pitiful minority of Repub
licans In this district represented by these
chairmen, th.-ir recognition is naturally
provoking to us. Put It would be un
profitable to discuss tha methods by which
they haVS Ingratiated themselves with
th.- National Committee It is reasonably
certain that In any c?onflict challenging
their authority, they would have the sup
port of ?he national chairman, and he in
turn would bo sustained by the National
Committee,
it s.cii,s folly, therefore, to ignore their
call, or to persist in any call through the
nal chairmen. All we could accomplish
by such a course would be the division
of the party and Inevitable defeat.
As a loyal Republican, I am unwilling
to pursue such a course. In its re?ults it
would aid Democracy and put us In th? at
tltudeof derying tho highest party authority
arid committing the same treason which
wo hfivu so severely denounced In others.
To give su. h a movement strength suf

THE PLAN <)F ACTION.
I am opposed to this. For one, I favor
?ubmlttlng to wrong and outrage within
mv party rather than helping my political
adversaries. The Bepubllcan party is In
the majority in this district, and we are
a majority of the Republican party. With
anything short of outrage, we can estab
lish the fact In any meeting of Repub
licans, by whomsoever called; and the
period during which self-constituted
liuardlari? can maintain BUpraSBSOy here
is necessarily brief, whatever bolstering
th.-y may temporarily secure from out
siders. I.'-t us not, then, ba driven Into
the altitude of bolters.
My advice to all Republicans is to drop
all controversy about the authority of
tbeee chairmen; to participate in tho
in.-.tines they have celled; to attend their
conventions, and there to demand their
rights. It will be time ?notigh to dis?
. or futuro course if further out?
ragas are attempted. 1'ntll they are, let
us hope that there will le- none. If, with
elf-respect, we can aecure a united Be*
publican party, lei us make every effort
to do so. and to that end let us treat what
is past
il 1 am the nominee of a united party,
[ will run again, and make another con
test f.?r our rights, if we are cheated.
I leave It to you to ?ay whether I BU

NEW YORK, July ?".-Lieutenant Hob

offices of the Merrltt-Chnpman Wrecking
Company, In Wall street, where he was
in clo^e consultation with the officers of
tho company for two hours. At the end
of the conference he said that the con
tracts for the raising of the wreck of the
Cristobal Colon were about conyluded.
"Tho contracts, of course, must be ap
proved by the Judge-advocate-general of
the Naval Construction Board," he said.
"Th?>y are not fully completed. I go to
\\ i 'lington to-night, and will know more
about my future plans after I have seen
th? officials there.
"The air-bags with which It Is pro
posed to ralso tho ship will probably be
constructed by a rubber company in New
York. They will measure about 6 by 13
pOSta and will have a capacity of about
thirteen tons each. Pontoons of the sis?

probably be constructed at once."

he smiled Hnd said: "I really don't know

Several visitors came to the office of
the wrecking company to see Lieutenant

moments. He said he might make a
short visit to his Alabama home If ho
returned to the fleet via Key West, but
he was afraid it would be Impossible on
this trip, as It would be necessary to get

There was no demonstration as he
walked up Wall street, accompanied by
