Youngstown. Ohio. June 14.—Youngs
town won its third successive victory
to-day. taking the Nailers into camp
by a score-of 8 to 5. It was a very one
sided contess . up to the eighth inning,
the visitors being shut out until that
time, in thx* eighth Youngstown went
to pieces and Wheeling scored three
runs. The yellow exhibition on the
part of the Giants oentinued In the
ninth, when two more runs were bag
ged by the Niailers. Wheeling put up
much the best fielding game but the
home team batted Garvey hard when
hit3 were needed. Kimball was an
enigma until the last two innings,
keeping the hits well scattered. Riok
ert's magnificent fielding and batting
and brililant stops by Lyons and Tay
lor were the features of the contest.

this afternon because they were lucky
enough to hit the ball when men were

Colts also made errors at times, when
men were on bases. The Australian
base bailers witnessed the game from
the grand stand. In the morning the

BASE BALL BRIEFS.
The Youngstown Vindicator thows
up the sponge, and gives the Yanegans
the Intersate pennant. They have
troubles of their own up in Youngs
town.
There is trouble out in Springfield,
too. Rhinehart anti Martin, the re
leased pitcher, could not come to
terms, and other players nibbed in.
making a general row. Now three of
the team threaten to resign unless
Rhinehart is removed from the man
agement.
And there is trouble in Wheeling, a
fact which has been apparent to ail the
••fans'' for several weeks. Saturday
the petition against Claud Coyle was
forwarded with one hundred signa
tures. to the President of the club in
Pittsburg.
It is whispered about that the loca
tion of the base ball park next season
may be changed, and that another deal
may be made which will greatly please
the lccal ‘•fans."
Youngstown is clamoring for the re
moval of Manager Scheible. Spring
field asks for a new man to fill Man
ager Rhinehart's shoes. There are
others, and all is not smooth sailing
in thb Interstate. Harmony is what is
| needed—harmony with a big II.
About two players on the local team
want to so to bed earlier this week and
tin n they'll b able to play better. If they
don't they may expect to hear something;
drop. We shouldn't have lost that same
yesterday. Pay attention to the manager.

was called. As the game progressed his

Claudle has a temper that needs temper
ing. About every inning he would lose
his head, and before it could be replaced
on his shoulders by "Pop" O Bri-n, the fat
first baseman, the ball would be sent to
the fence In divers directions. With the

MAS IT A FAKE?
I
Lots of Talk About the Maher.Shark«y
Affair.
New York. June 14.—Was the Shar
key and Maher bout last Wednesday
evening before the Palace Athletic Club
a fake? This is the query among the
sports. Whatever it was it looks queer
just at this stage. If it was prearranged
it will probably be aired shortly, as the
enemies of William Brady, the club’s
promoter, are on the qui vive to turn
him down. Two principal things that
make some people believe it was a job
are Maher's diffidence in getting down
to work on the call of time and the
manner in which they held on and
raised a rumpus after the gong called
them to corners. It seems as if they
worked in with the police on purpose.
They knew it would be stopped, and
that a squad of police were on hand to
guard against just what they did.
The story that Maher was in on bets
that Sharkey would last six rounds is
believed by many people, who yell that
this supports the fake story.

Terrible Results of a Thunder Storm
at Jacobsburg.
Misses Emma White, Alpha Taylor
and Nettie McGuire Met Instant
Death While on Their Way Home
from Church—Miss Rosa Eorum
and Simon White Seriously
Wounded.
The series cf thunder storms which
passed over this region of country
Sunday afternoon, as narrated in yes
terday’s Register, fell with particular
severity upon the territory embraced
in Washington, Monroe and the lower
portion of Belmont counties, extend
ing as far east as the Ohio river. Hail
fell in large quantities at many points
and much of it was as large as hen’s
eggs, notwithstanding the skepticism
of the Intelligencer of yesterday, and
much damage was done to crops.
Jacobsburg was the scene of a terri
ble accident, caused by a storm which
swept over the little town about four
o’clock in the afternoon, and as a result
three young ladies were instantly
killed, while the father of one of them
and a fourth young lady were very seri
iously injured. The dead girls were:
Emma White, aged 19; Minnie Mc
Guire. aged 18, and Alpha Taylor, aged
19. Tiie wounded were: Rcsa Bc^im,
aged 12 yars, and Simon White, father
cf Miss Emma White, aged 50. A
flash cf lightning, after the storm was
apparently over, caused the disaster
in a twinkling, and the three young
ladies first above mentioned died in
stantly, while Miss Borum was ren
dered unconscious and Mr. White near
ly so, he barely retaining enough vital
ity to know that the little group of
girls he was with had been stricken
down. At first it was believed all four
girls had been instantly killed, and it
was only after Miss Borum had been
carried to a residence that it was seen
she was still alive. Her escape was a
very narrow one. A fifth girl, a Miss
Phillips, had been at the church, but
on the way home she left the party
to ride in a buck-board with a brother
of Miss Taylor. The couple had only
just driven away when the lightning
flash came.
The five girls, with two or tnree
young men. had gone to the Methodist
Church during the afternoon to practice
some music for the evening, and were
in the building-when the storm broke.
They remained under shelter until the
rain appeared to be over, when they
were joined by Mr. White, who brought
an umbrella to escort his daughter on
her way home. Mr. White left the
church building with the five girls
while it was still raining a little. Miss
White being in front with the umbrella
raised, and ?.Iisses McGuire and laylor
upon either side of her. while Miss
Borum and Miss Phillips were a little
behind with Mr. White. When a short
distance from the church and
just after Miss Phillips left the
party, a bolt of lightning struck
the umbrella carried by Miss White,
and the entire party of five fell to the
ground, the three foremost girls dead.
The blinding flash startled every
inhabitant of the town, and several
persons who had seen the awful result
at once ran to the assistance of the
prostrate people. A hasty glance
showed that at least three and prob
ably four of them were dead. Mr.
White being the only one who showed
visible signs of life. The girls were at
once removed to a residence close by,
and then it was discovered that Miss
Borum was tetill alive. Medical aid
was summoned and although the con
dition of the two injured persons was
very critical all nigfet. K was stated
yesterday that both would recover.
From an examination of the bodies
and all the circumstances it appears
that the lightning struck the umbrella
carried by Miss White, it having a
steel rod in it. From this it passed to
the bodies of the three girls, all of
whom were badly burned about the
bodies, and particularly in the region
of the breast and waist, where the
corset steels appeared to have largely
attracted the electric fluid.
The dead girls were very prominent
in the social life of Jacobsburg and
vicinity, and their families being wide
ly known, the whole surrounding com
munity was filled with sorrow yes
terday and Sunday night. The funerals
will take place this morning at 11
o’clock from the church, and the at
tendance will be very large.
