i iijm Pittsburg and Wheeling Will Not Play as Scheduled At the Island Park This Afternoon. Tho Ramblers Defeated—National L.uifue Results—News From the Race Tracks, Prize Ring-, and O’, her Sporting flutters. It was expected that Pittsburg would close the season at the Islaud Park this aft- moon, ia an exhibition game with the home club, but. as will be gleaned from a telegram published in this column, the Pirates have decided not to come. This is very disappoint ing to the local faus, and more so to Manager Barrows, w'ho h.is been at considerable expense in advertising the game, and also in holding the play ers together. The local management hi., been extremely unfortunate dic ing the past two w eks. Warren did not druw as expected, Franklin fluked, then came the small pox scare which at *eted the attendance at the CU v land game. But the must crushing blow was the telegram ol.lasi hi ! - which destroyed the hopes of Ma Barrows til t he would come out whi ■ on the aer-son. W ith anything like ordinary luck the club should Imie tin ished at least <1.500 aheud on he sea son. As it is. the owners will prob able have to go down into their pock et.-’ Ixmt I t )'r. Barrows wired N’ w Castle, <uiu that team may play instead of Pitt sburg Third-baseman Shaw, of the homo rlub. left rath r unceremoniously yes terday afternoon for his home in Uhrichsvilte. it is likely that Shaw bivauie homesick, although his reasons for taking part of his uniform with him are not so easily explained. His con duct in deserting the club just before Ps final eur.t eanr.ot be too severely condemned. Shaw ; desertion will necessitate some changes in the team this afternoon. Glasscock will likely y third and Harry Pritchard tlrst. The team will be more distinctly rep i entatlve of the playing ability of Whaling than ever before. Kane, pr'.t hard. Gics-cock, Hobrecht, are all Wheeling players. WIIUUM. GETS THE PENS 'NT. Her C lalw Sustained by President Power and VI Pratt. Special to the Register. Pittsburg.

Two new cases of small-pox were re ported in this city yesterday. One was Jack Crogan, the ex-ball player and a fireman a: the Niagara engine house, a:ul the other was a member of the Carenbauer family, at No. 8 Twenty third street. Two new cases were also reported at Martin’s Ferry, members of the family of George McCarty, of Walnut street. The usual precautions were taken with the new cases in this city, and as both the patients belong in what may be termed the infected district on the South Side, no especial uneasiness was felt by either health authorities or cit izens at the report. All the old cases, with possibly one except ion, are making satisfactory progress, and convalescent reports may be expected from some of them in u few days, as several of the cases were origiuully very light Yesterday morning Mayor Brooks, Health Officer Steele and Dr. McCul loch, of Moundsville. canto up to the city to see just what the situation was here. They called upon Dr. Jepson, but that officer being engaged in the dis charge of his duties, they sought Mayor Caldwell, who showed every courtesy and explained the situation. Later they met one or two members of the Health Committee and Health Officer jepsuu. who snowed me visitors nis nsi of cases, corresponding with what has been published in the local papers, aud offered to escort the party about the city, and demonstrate conclusively that f i>.- condition of affairs was not being misrepresented either by the local au thorities or the city* press. The visitors were entirely satisfied as to the facts. During the morning Mayor Caldwell received a letter front Burgess Curran, of Little Washington, saying that the Washington authorities had no idea of quarantining, aud expressed sympathy. His letter was in marked contrast to the actions of some of the authorities in towns about Wheeling. Yesterday the Martin’s Ferry au thorities and other over-the-river in fluences at last succeeded in forcing the adoption of quarantine regulations in Bridgeport, against the hotter judg ment of the majority of the people of that town. The effort to bring Bridge port into the quarantine ring has been going on all week, and yesterday the pressure became too strong, and the regulations went into effect at mid night last night. The situation over there is funny. Bridgeport has a great deal more reason to quarantine I against Martin's Ferry than she has against Wheeling, because the mill workmen of the two towns afiiliate closely, there arc two railroads and an electric car line connecting the towns, and Martin’s Ferry, in proportion to population and territory, has more small-pox than has Wheeling. There have been three new cases over there this week, with several convalescents on hand, if we are not in error, and yet Martin’s Ferry has forced Bridge port to quarantine against this city, and has thrown open communication between the two Belmont coun t towns. If Bridgeport had kept up hei judicious inspection of people from this side of the river, and in addition had added a like precaution against Mar tin's Ferry, they would have been in much better shape. The Martin’s Ferry quarantine, by the way, is rather a lame institution. Martin’s Ferry people come to Wheeling and re turn home every day. Yesterday af ternoon four men from the Ohio town were seen on Main street in one group, and after running about the city to their h< a t’s q ntent, they, went back home. Bellaire still maintins her regula tions against this cit, and yesterday Parkersburg joined tue list of towns quarantining. There was a marked change in the tone of the local papers on the Ohio side of the river, yesterday, apd it is to be hoped that they will not hence forth publish the sort of stuff they in flicted upon their readers the first part of the week. None of the editors apol ogized in terms for their misstate ments. luit two or tjiree of them came pretty close to doing so, and with one exception—the Martin’s Ferry Times —all seem disposed to talk reasonably and cease to fen their readers into a fever of apprehension not warranted by the facts. That will meet with approval over here. The people of Wheeling don't object to the truth, for that is recog nized to be bad enough, but they do ob ject, and most seriously, to publica tions by out of town papers which double, quadruple and quintuple the situation. That this has been done, and done deliberately, by more than one editor, even after his attention was called to the fact, has been pointed out in the Register, and it has created much feeling in Wheeling, which may possibly manifest itself at some time in the future, to the great regret of surrounding towns. The Martin s Ferry Times has been particularly rabid and sensational. Martins Forr\ people should note this. One other thing was noticeable in the out-of-town papers yesterday which is to be commended, and that is the recognition that the Wheeling au thorities are now combatting the dis intelligently, whereas for months they trifled with the situation. It is because of this dilly-dallying, extend ing through the months of February, March. April. May. June and July, and a great part of August as well, that the situation is what we find it to-day. While that sort of work was being done at the City Hall was the time for out of-town communities to have quaran tined; not :H present, when the most exacting care is being taked here, as was verified Wednesday by Dr. Probst. of the Ohio State Boarch^ FINDING THE BODIES.

Last Evening. by Sonic Exceed ingly Queer Weather. Yesterday was one of the warmest days cf the summer, the mercury at Sehnepf’s mounting to ninety-six in the shade. Even a3 late as eight o’clock last evening, the thermometer marked eighty-eight, although it had been try ing to scare up a thunder storm for several hours. Following upon three days of exceedingly warm weather, when the mercury ranged between nine ty and ninety-three, the slight increase yesterday partook somewhat of the na ture of a last straw, and there was much popular complaint About four o’clock in the afternoon there were Indications of a storm up the river, and the barometer fell until it indicated nearly a quarter of an inch lower than in the morning., but it was uc until about 8 o’clock last night that a few drops cf rain were squeezed out. Between half-past six and eight o’clock in the evening the sky looked very threatening at times, and many would not have been surprised if u violent storm had followed. The lightning at times was very vivid. The indications for to-day are that we will have much cooler weather, and yesterday probably marks the end of extremely hot weather for the present season. • SHOT BY A LUNATIC.
