BALTIMORE, Mn., Sept. '_7.— Outside of a
I little contingent oi laituiul Boston ••rooters,"
who are making merry at ihe Eutaw House,
there is no Joy in Baltimore to-night. Boston
'.as taken trie rubber In the crucial series, is
ahead in the ii *ht for the pennant, and there j
stems in be but little probability thai the j
champions can save it. Hoffer, the "Wizard,"
Nops, the "Southpaw" and "Brother Joe" Cor
bett, all vent down kike ripe grain in a hurri
cane before the terrific onslaught of Boston's
) batters, until what seemed, at first to be a vic
tory for the home team was finally turned into
y rout, the like of which has been seldom wit
nessed on a bill field.
More than 25,000 people saw it done, and
hat they wiiniss-d the downfall of their
avorites wiih perfect c* oi humor, gathering
about the victors and cheering ihem heartily
lal the finish, gives the lie direct to the two
stories that have been current regarding the
Baltimore baseball public, via.: that it does
not patrcnize the fame, and that "rowdyism"
is the rule upon its grounds. There have been
few-, if any, crowds as large in the history of
the came.
The story of what happened to-day mn? be
briefly told. First came the awful struggle at
the pates for tickets, then the straining, push
ing and lighting lor admission, then the
scramble for a place ironi which the diamond
was visible, until every seat nad an occupant,
every inch of standing-room was pre-empted,
rind men and boys clung, piderlike, to fences,
flagstaff?, telegraph poles or any other point
ot vantage. The Boston '*rooi?rs' with their
brass band lormed so small a part ol the great
throne; ihat they sank into comparative m
sicniticance. hut the band played on and the
rooters rooted and shouted jusi the siiue.
Finally the learns came <>n for practice, and
then in due time play began Mid the multi
tude settled iib*lf down to watch the batt-e.
First Boston mad* a run, then Baltimore made
two, then each mad*.* .iiree. and the :*core was
tied wheu Boston added another to its string.
Thus far ail was well. ii mo re, it is true,
had lost th c lend, but not hopelessly. Then
the visitors lorgeJ to toe irom with three
more tallies. This was bad, indeed, but hope
still lived in Baltimore.
And so it ran until the dreadful seventh in
ning. Corbett had been crippled by a hot
l:ner early in the play, Nops had been batted
out of the box a little later, and Hoffer had
been hit lor tour runs, but still the crowd
hoped on. No one looked for a deluge, as
Hoffer had apparently s'e-.diea himself and
no runs nan been made off him in two succes
sive innings. All at ouce it came, Single fol- j
lowed double, double fallowed single, player ;
a fie: player crossed the p ate, antl thn crowd
crew tired and wondered ii it would ever cad. !
Tne ollicial scorers almost 10-t their count.
H' Set became disconra; e<l -. ad wanted to go
cit nd sit down, but Captain Robinson kept
ni m in the box.
i Finally the nisilifld*-* of hits was ended,
I IHoffer came down ir..-*n the air, everybody
look a long brtaih. and the scorer flgure'd out
that Bostcv Ban made nine runs, nil ol *.*. hicb
voro earned. Tliai settled it, ami although
tne Cham] made a ti.ial rally in their lia.f
and batted out three runs, fol. owing it up
with two more in iheeighth, : ni i: efforts v era
of no more ccnsc-fiU'-nce than arc tho.e of men
who strive to whistle up the wind.
During the vo ley 01 base hits in the seventh
the crowd was a study. As the tirst two or
three hits were made the vast throng looked
serious, then as hits began to pour out like
v, a:er Irom a trough, a smile and men a
hearty laugh broke lortli, and none could
bave enjoyed the discomliture of the Cham
pions more than did theiruumirers in the vast
audience.
IO: the many hearty and f-Doiitineouu bursts
of applause none were more ringing than tiiat
which greeted Hamilton wueti, in the fourth
inning, after being trampled upon and severe
ly stunned by Jennings nt second, be mud*.* a
pr-md run lor horn** on Lowe's single, collided
with Baltimore's fleshy backstop and falling
ieayily piuciii'ly crawie-i toward the base, a -
most ia-nii'iga^ he ached it. Again, at ihe
end ol h.* p-Hine 10,000 people gathered about
the visitors, shook them by the hand, shouted
ctieeriul yiiecs -niries at tnem, *"i 1 them what
good fellows end line players ihey were and
finally sent them away wi h a shout of appro
bation, a fitting climax for the -.reatcst base
bull spectacle Baltimore has ever seen. Score:

SENOR NAVARRO-REVERTER, SPANISH MINISTER OF FINANCE
The Minister recently incurred the displeasure of the Bishop
of Majorca by taking possession, it is alleged, of the treasury of
a church in his diocese, and to punish him the Bishop excommuni
cated the Minister. The Spanish Government has now decided,
according to recent dispatches, to appeal to the Pope on the subject.

DEATH AMONG
RIOTING POLES.
Foreign Miners Fight
Each Other Like
Demons.
Nine Cannot Live and Many
More Were Seriously
Injured.
Two Separate Battles, In Which
They Fought With Knives,
Axas and Clubs.
GIRARDVILLE, Pa., Sept. 27.— At
least nine men received fatal injuries and
possibly two score others were more or
Jess seriously wounded in a bloody riot
here late last night and early this morn
ing. The battle was the outcome of a
quarrel over the Hazleton troubles.
Thirty-six men are known to have been
wounded and ab-uit lifty more are being
secreted by their friends, who fear that
they will be sent to jail.
Twelve of th*-> ringleaders were brought
before Justice Elias Kissinger and ten be
fore Jiistics Johnson. All were charged
with assault with intent to kill, house
breaking and rioting, and were held in
heavy hail for court. Many more war
rants have been issued, but have not been
served as yet.
Dr. Charles Scblessman attended to
twenty-two of the wounded, nine of whom
he says will die. Drs. William Mona
ghau and James Donohue attended to
fourteen otners, and how many the other
physicians cared for is not fcnowe. Three
other men hav<> been reported dead, but
ihiscannol. be verified yet on account of
the uncommunicative nature of the par
ticipants.
The story of tho riot is as follows : Sev
eral hundred Polanders board at William
Cullacabbage's hotel on Second street.
Joseph Cavendish is proprietor of the
hotel at the east end of town, where sev
eral hundred more Polanders make their
headquarters. Bad blood has existed be
tween them for a long time, and the re
cent strike troubles at Hazleton embit
tered them still more.
List night matters came to a crisis.
Cullacabbaee, it is charged, and his fol
lowers, to the number of several hundred,
arming themselves with guns, revolvers,
knives, axes and clubs marched to Caven
dish's Hotel, where several hundred of
their enemies were celebratine pay day.
The Cavendish men ascertained that
their foe; were m srehing upon them, and,
aiming themselves hurriedly, awaits I
their arrival. After a demonstrative
march the Cullanabbase contingent ar
rived and immediately stormed the sa
loon.
Then a bloody battle ensued. The men
fought like demons, the shooting was fast
and furious and axes, knives, clubs and
other weapons w*»re used with deadly
effect. The battle lasted almost an hour,
■mm the Cullacabbage gang were routed,
leaving their wounded behind.
Everything in the house was smashed,
and the doors were strewn with wounded
men. Tha walls were bespattered with
biooa and shreds of human flesh.
After the rioters had returned to their
headquarters the Cavendish «_*ang armed
themselves to the teeth and marched to
their enemies rendezvous, where a bat
tle, stiil bloodier than the first, ensued.
The nolice force and the constables of the
surrounding region were called to the
scene, but were unable to cope with the
rioting horde, who continued hostilities
until morning.
The townspeople did not sleep a wink
a I night, and while they watched the
ogress of the light during the night
the*.* made no attempt to interfere.
The place was in an uproar, but all is
quiet now* and no more trouble is antici
pate-. It is thou tilt that after the ex
citement subsides most of the guilty par
ti*? will be arre'ted. The residences of
many citizens were damaged and several
outsiders were wounded.

ments of the East and of the Missouri be

SAYS HER SON
WAS TORTURED
Mrs. Russell's Charges
Against lone School
Officials.
Declares an Innocent Lad Was
Whipped Into Confessing
a Theft.
Articles He Was Said to Have
Stolen Afterward Found in Their
Owner's Trunk
STOCKTON. Cal., Sept. 27.— Dora Rus
fell of this city is alter the scalp of Super
intendent O'Brien of 'he Preston Reform
School at lone. To-day Attorney McGee
of San Francisco had a conference with
her relative to the recent whipping of her
adopted son, Frank Russall, who, she al
leges, was twice beaten with a strap be
cause he refused to acknowledge that he
had committed a theft that was charged
to him. The boy has since said that be
was forced into telling what was untrue
in order to avoid further beatings.
Frank Russell was sent to the reform
atory from Stockton and during the
month of August was accused by the
Preston officials of the thefc of some valu
ables from one of the officers of the insti
tution. Together with a lad named Car
rington he was placed under arrest and
taken to Jackson. His adopted mother
did not learn until some lime after thi*
that her son was in jail charged with
crime. When she did she at once has
tened to the school and asked to see him,
but was told that be was at Jackson and
in jail. She hastened to Jack-on and had
an interview with the boy, wno told her
the story of his beatings and of the efforts
that had been made to send him to the
I penitentiary.
While the stories of lads like Russell are
always taken with a grain of salt McGee
says that of Russell was verified by the
investigation he conducted as the legal
representative of Carring'on. wlio was
charged jointly with Russell with the theft
of the valuables.
When the loss was discovered and Rus
sell was accused of it he denied the
charge. Then, according to his siory, lie
was told that if he did not confess the
, theft he would be whipped. On refusing
I he was given eighty lashes, and under
them he almo-t fainted. He still refined,
he declares, nnn was taken out and given
fiity lashes more. The last whipping was
too much, and as he dropped fainting to
the ground the man who administered it
remarked, as water was dashed in his face
to bring him to consciousness, that he was
sorry that he had been obliged to perform
the task when there was no occasion for
it. According to McGee and Mrs. Russell
the attendant was subsequently dis
charged for these remarks.
While the boys were in Jackson the
trunk of the man who was robbed was
searched, and they claim ths valuables
wero found in it. Ti is, they say, is
proof that neither Carrington nor Russell
committed tho thefts charged to them.
Alter the second beating Russell said that
Carrington had taken the valuables, but
later he admitted that he had told an un
truth throiifh fear of his life and to avoid
another beating. _****. -.;."_ ■>"- j~_|__j
The officials of Preston School say
that there was no doubt of Russell's
guilt. It is their opinion that ***?h_n he
saw he was about to be sent io the peni
tentiary he contrived to pet word to a
companion at the school, who restored
the stolen articles to the trunk fron*.
which they had been taken.
NO WELL IS ENTHUSIASTIC.
Says There is Enough Gold In
Alaska to Imperil the Monetary
Standard of tha Word,
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 27.— "Only 'the
inaccessibility of the region, its inhos
pitable winters and the utter lack of
transportation facilities prevent the pro
duction of gold in Alaska in quantities
thai would certainly imperil the monetary
standard of civilized nations of the world,
and so cheapen gold that its worth and
stability as a universal standard of com
merce would be destroyed. I look for
such a development of the gold regions of
Alaska and the Northwest territory such
as has never been equaled in the history
of tbis country."
These are ihe well-weighed words of
Thomas S. Noweli of Boston, Mass., presi
dent of the Noweli Gold Mining Com
pany and the Berners Bay Goid Mining
and Milling Company of Alaska. Mr.
Nowell's two companies have patents
from the Government of the United States
for six miles of heavily mineralized terri
tory in which six mines are located that
produce in excess of $100,000 in gold every
month. The late discoveries of extremely
rich quartz in the Berners Bay district, in
which assays have been received running
as nigh as $1300 to the ton, is included in
the territory controlled by Mr. Noweli
and his associates.
For the past twelve years Mr. Noweli
lias devoted himself to the active manage
ment of companies. He is a recognized
authority in Alaska. The companies have
employed hundreds o prospectors in Alas
ka, many ol whom are now in the Yukon,
consequently he is in a position io receive
iniormation such as could not well be
gathered by a dozen men.
Mr. Noweli returned Sunday on tin
steamship Topeka Irom a two month's stay
in Ala-ka. He is thoroughly conversant
with the affa rs of the territory upon which
is now focused the attention of ihe min
ing and financial world. He believes that
England, in pursuance of her policy of
attempting to control or acq lire all th
large gold-producing areas ot the world,
is engaged in an effort to secure to herseil
he cream of the product of the fabulously
rich placer mines of tae Yukon. He points
out the fact that the Dominion Govern
ment is attempting to restrict the outtlov.
of gold to American soil and that I>riti-<h
capital, employed in transportation com
panies, is working with the single aim o;
controlling the luture development of
what is believed to he the richest gokl
producint. district discovered in modern
limes.
■ "England's plain purpose in thus seek
in X to control tue newly discovered gold
regions/ says Noweli, "is that she tuny
he able when it should become a necessity
to restrict tho production of cold without
a concert of nations. She foresees that
the time will come for the necessity to so
restrict the gold production, reco-_*iuzin:*
the fact that it is ihe only precious metal
that can be produced to the extent that i_
required to meet the wants of the com
mercial nations as a standard of vaiue."

head to her feet, was horribly burned.
STYLES BANKtR KING A FORGER.
Mrs. Kruse Adds to Her Sensational
Charges Against the San
Josean.
SAN JOSE, Cat. Sept. 27.— Charges of
embezzlement and forgery were preferred
to-day against Ban Her Abram Kin.;, who
was formerly guardian of the person and
estate of Stephen Hobson, an incompe
tent. Mrs. Louise J. Kruse, now admin
istratrix of the estate of her deceased
father, Stephen Hobson, is the complain
ant. The accusations are incorporated in
an amended complaint to a bill of excep
tions to the final accounting and dis
charge of King as guardian of Hobson.
The charges are a reiteration of those in
the original complaint, which charged
King with appropi-iating about 15,000 of
bis ward's money to his own us?.
For over twenty years King was Hob
son's guardian, and it is alleged in the
complaint that his. peculations extended
over that entire time. The amounts were
not large, but in the aggregate reached
thousands of dollar-*.
The Hobson estate is worth About $10,
--009, and consists of business and residence
property in this city. Hobson died two
years ago, and his daughter, Mrs. Kruse,
applied for and was granted letters of ad
mini.-tration. In going over the accounts
of the estate the alleged discrepancies
were discovered and a demand was made
on King lor an accounting. Ho refused
to comply, ana exceptions were filed to
his accounting and application tor dis
charge. The charges were stoutly denied
and contested by K'ng. Testimony was
taken before the Court Commissioner and
filled f**>l page* of typewritten matter.
In the amended complaint filed to-day
Mrs. Kruse contests item 23, where King
credits himself with $8 70 alleged to have
been paid to L. G. W. Otto. If is alleged
"that said item was and is false, and that
the voucher supporting the same was
forged by King in this, that the sum of
$1 50 of said amount was so forged and
embezzled by King, and was never paid
out by him."
The amended exceptions also contest
an item in which the sum of $23 is alleged
to have been paid to the ban Jose Water
Company. This charge is denounced as
false, and "that the voucher supporting
the same was forged and charged by King
so as to represent and show that it was a
charge against the property of said ward,
whereas the same was in fact a ciiarge for
and was for water actually furnished to
said King personally and for the use of his
private property."
Tue credit of $57 25, alleged to have
been paid M. Lenzen, is attacked, and it
is held that In truth there was but $;'-' 25
and no more; "that said King in that be
half knowingly falsified the vouchor rep
senting said item, and .'orced therein an
item of $25 In his own handwriting over
the signature of said M. Lenzen to said re
ceipt."
There are numerous other charges of a
damaging nature.
Abram King is an old resident and one
of the most prominent business men in
this city. Fora number ot years he was
vice-president of the First National Bank,
and at present he is a director o! the be
curity Savings Bank. He is worth about
a half-million dollars.
SULLIVAN TO BE FREED AT LAST.
Pardon for a Seemingly Innocent Man
Who Served Six Years in
San Quentin.
SACRAMENTO. Cal., Sept. 27.— 0n the j
first day of October the prison gates of '■
San Quentin will open and restore to
liberty Thomas Sullivan, a man who, !
with every presumption of inno- i
cence in his favor, has served six
long years for a crime he has always ;
protested he was innocent of. The inves
tigation he has so repeatedly demanded :
has convinced the prison directors, the I
warden and the Governor that there is I
grave doubt of his complicity, and Gov
ernor Budd has concluded to give him the
benefit of the doubt.
Sullivan was sentenced for a term of
fourteen years for complicity in an at
tempt to rob ' the County Treasurer of
Kern County op the night of the 19:h of
December, 1891. As that official was
returning to his home he was as
saulted by two men. One of them,
who was under the influence
of liquor, threw himself bodily upon the
treasurer and attempted to pinion his
arms. He failed, and the official suc
ceeded in drawing his revolver and shot
his assailant dead. The other man ran
away at the crack of the pistol.
Some time before this Sullivan was seen
in the company of and had an altercation
witb the man who was killed. When
he heard the report of the pistol,
so he claimed, he ran to the scene
of the shooting to investigate and
while coming away from he spot, was
placed under arrest by the Sheriff. It is
now believed that Sullivan told the truth
in regard to the reason of his being
seen after the hold up. The man
man is ab-olutely friendless and as
far as can be learned the only
person who has interested himself in ob
taining his release is the official who was
assaulted and Warden Hale, wno bas
staled that Sullivan is becoming mentally
deranged because of brooding over his in
carceration in prison for a crime he swears
he is innocent o*.

Paso Robles Girl Chlor
oformed and Carried
Away.
Awakens to Find Herself in the
Arms of a Strange
Pedestrian.
Her Screams Bring. Assistance
After He Has Almost Choked
Har Into Silence.
PASO ROBLES, Cal., Sept. 27.— Miss
Hortense Gibbons, a girl about 15 years
of age, had an experience yesterday
morning that she will remember for some
time to come. Miss Gibbons, who is a
I student in the Paso Robles high school
and resides at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
!H. Hibbard, awoke at about 2:ls o'clock in
; the morning to find herself in the arms cf
j a man 150 yards Iront her room. The
fellow, who was tall of stature and strong,
' was carrying her as lie strode hastily from
; the place. The girl screamed and was
j heard by residents near, who hastened to
I her aid, and the man fled.
Upon examination it was found that
footprints surrouiidrd the house of Mr.
HibbarJ, and that the man had effected
l an entrance through the girl's window.
'■ Then he chloroformed Miss Gibbons and
i carried her out by way of the door. Tha
- lresh air revived her, and, realizing her
; situation, she fcreamed. To still her
cries the man choked and scratched her.
William Erdman, who lives near by,
heard the commotion, looked out of his
; window and saw the man and girl strug
\ gling. He took a gun that was in his
I room with the intention of shooting, but,
' fearing that, the girl would be injured, he
j lowered the weapon and hastened from
i the house to the girl's assistance. When
| the man saw that Erdman was armed he
! thought it was time to leave, and van
i ished in the darkness.
The girl, when taken to the house, bore
the marks of the stranger's fingers on her
throat. Her lace was badly scratched.
The girl's shoes aud stockings were taken,
but were found later near the place. The
officers think they have their mac lo
cated. '■
