there being 13 earned runs, there was not

NOTES.
The amateur league will bold a meeting
this evening at 2d and Tatnall Sts. At
this meeting the question of the admission
ot the Smyrna club will be considered.
There is another matter that should be
brought before the league, and that Is the
tampering with players. At present there
is a disposition of one or two of the clubs
to resort to means hardly creditable
to secure th* service* of good player*
from one ot the other clubs. Now, it is
manifestly to the interest of the league and
essential to its existence that all ot the
clubs bs nearly ot the same strength. It U
charged that one or two of the players
have been solicited to leave one of the
clubs and join a presumably stronger
team. The league's plain duty is to place
the seal of condamnation upon this. A rale
shodld be adopted blacklisting any
member who listens with willing ears to
the solicitations of a rival cinb.andtbe club
ot which the manager or any player
belongs who attempts to tamper with a
player should be heavily fined or suspended

The Emperor and Empress of Germany

evening They cam* from Potsdam to
Cbariottenburg by steamer. They were i
then driven to the Berlin palace, escorted
by s squadron of cavalry. Unter den j
Linden was crowded and the royal conple
had a hearty reception. Prince Bismarck
on Friday to the Bundesrnth said;
Emperor bolds that his first duty is to
maintain the imperial constitution and pro

A week ago there was a dispute ss to the
relative heights ot the St. Mary's and St.
Michael's Catholic churches at Buffalo,
N. T. One of the parties to the discussion
was Charles Sullivan, and be volunteered
to decide it. He was a carpenter, sad
considered bimseif an expert in the build
ing ot spires. Yesterday afternoon be pro
cared a couple ot pools of wire, and at 3 10
o'clock went with friends to the man in
charge ot the bells in tbs tower ot Sc.
Michael's Church on Washington St . and
assured him that be bad an order from
one of the church authorities to go into the
belfry. The bellman refused to let him go
without an order from tha priest. While
the party were arguing Sullivan slipped
past and clambered out ot the tower to the
roof, aod seizing the lightning rod began to
ascend the steeple. He went up rapidly
and without obstacle until he nearly
reached the foot ot the cross at the apex
ot the tower, when the rod broke and he
fell headlong a di-tsnee ot 100 feet, making
one complete revolution in bis descent. He
struck toe root with a sound like the re
port of a gun, breaking through the tin
with which the roof is covered His body
lay upon the roof without motion. His
death was in-itantaneous, both bis neck
and back being broken.

received a letter from Senator Ingalls in
which the writer says: "It does not make
muon difference who is nominated in my
judgment. The candidates will cat but a
small figure in the fight. We ran elect any

man will be the beat—somebody like Hayes
