A BELATEDJfIGTORY. St. Paul Beats Duluth in the Eighth and Ninth Innings of the Game. A Pretty Fight Between the Ball Tossers of Eau Claire and Minneapolis. After Many Victories Dcs Moines Finally Loses a Game at Home. ■ Detroit, Pittsburg, Chicago and Boston the National League Winners. St. Paul and Duluth yesterday after noon fought another great battle in the presence of about 1,000 people. The visitors had matters all their own way for the first seven innings, St. Paul go ing out in almost one, two, three order, and only two men being left on bases. In the eighth and ninth innings, how ever, six runs were piled up in rapid succession to the intense delight of the crowd, and the game won. The feature of the game was the action of Umpire Sullivan, In the first four innings he made several close decisions,npon which numerous enthusiasts "guyed" him un til he got angry. His decisions, however, •were all correct, and much the larger proportion of the crowd was with him. In the fifth inning Pickett was on first base, Crooks at bat and Wilmot on the coacher's line, off third base. Sullivan called time to discuss some matter with Earle. the Duluth catcher, but Brynan was not in the pitcher's box according to rule. Wilmot noticed this and asked Brvnan to give him a catch. The latter threw the ball, but Wilmot purposely got out of the way of it and it went skipping over to the left field fence. Before the ball could be returned Pickett had run home from first, Sulli van ordered him back, but Pickett re fused to go and said he had made the run according to rule and proposed to have it count. At this Sullivan threw his mask into the diamond and hastily left the grounds. A parley then en sued between the managers of the teams, and, after a half hour's talk, George Nettleton was chosen as um pire, Pickett was sent back to first base and THE GAME PROCEEDED. Duluth got a run in the second inning on hits by Quinn, Foulkrod and McMil lan, another in the third on Earle's double and Quinn's single and the last in the fifth on hits by Jones and Quinn and a fumble by Cleveland. St. Paul did not begin scoring until the eighth, when Pickett touched the ball down in front of the plate for a base, went to second on Brynan's wild throw, to third on a passed ball and was run down be tween third and the plate on McCauley's grounder, the latter going to third on the play. Viau then performed the wonder of his life by hitting the ball to risrht center for two bases and was him self brought home by Murphy's line drive to left. This excited the crowd very perceptibly, as there was a Chance to tie the score. Wilmot, however, hit a little one to the pitcher and the side was out. In the next inning Burch trot ted to first on balls and Cleveland struck out. It still looked like a victory for Duluth. Stockwell then drove the ball against Brynan's legs with such force that it bounded over the right foul line towards the players' bench. Pickett's single to center enabled Burch to score, and crooks double to right emptied the bases. At this the crowd went wild and there was no hearing or doing anything for some minutes. McCauley's grounder to first sent Crooks to third and a wild pitch brought him home. Duluth went out in one, two, three order in the last half of the inning, and thus ended a re markable contest. Quinn made several pretty stops and catches, Jones and Wilmot each took a difficult fly and Pickett's short-stop work was extra good. Viau was in poor condition,being almost too ill to pitch at all.

Minneapolis and Eau Claire yesterday played one of the prettiest games of the season. For close play .and skillful handling of the ball it has not been ex ceeded in the home grounds. Crothers was on his mettle and held the sluggers down well, in which he was well sup ported. Klopf pitched his usual steady game and it was impossible to bunch hits against him, while the support given was splendid. One error each- was recorded and it is doubtful whether Patton's error should have been charged. Eau Claire hit the ball more frequently, but Minneapolis hit it harder, and hunched its hits and won the game handily. Kreig got in his usual home tun drive and Willis had a narrow escape from one. Poster hit the ball hard, but hit into fielder's hands. Lowe and Reilly led the Eau Claire work with the stick.

Washington, Sept. I.—The Pitts burg team defeated Washington to-day in an interesting game. In the first inning through Gilmore's wild pitching and a few timely hits the visitors scored runs which virtually settled the con test. Donnelly played a great game at third. Farrell made some brilliant stops, but he also made the only errors of the home team. At critical points Galvin proved himself too much for the home team, who sacrificed several runs through their inability* to hit safely. Coleman was struck by a pitched ball in the fifth inning and was so seriously injured that he retired from the game in favor of Fields.

Rainey, It can he said, lost the game. The four errors he made were the only ones made by the; team. Keefe seemed to be a little off, and was hit freely. The feature of the game was the playing of Richardson, and Ward, of the New Yorks. Twice i they doubled on the Detrolts, but Rainey miserable plays spoiled the en- : tire game. Getzein pitched a great game, although wild at first, and he was ably supported by Bennett." In the sev enth Brouthers and Howe got on bases by tho errors of Rainey.

The Bean Eaters are Able to Beat the Hoosiers. Boston, Sept. The game to-day was a tame affair, marked by spiritless playing. Umpire Powers again dis played poor judgment in calling balls and strikes? and was shaky in close de cisions on bases. Conway.pitched a pretty game, holding the Hoosiers down to four actual hits. Shreve was pounded with freedom and seemed hardly up to the caliber of a league twirler, The Indianapolis in-field had seventeen chances for assists and ac cepted sixteen, and Shomberg put out the unusual number of nineteen. Sam Wise electrified the spectators by one of his marvelous one handed catches of a line hit from Brown's bat in the first inning.

A FATAL. FUMBLE. McLaughlin Loses a Game for the Phillies. Philadelphia, Sept. I.—A fumble by McLaughlin lost to-day's game for the Phillies. The calamity occurred in the eighth inning. Two men were out and Darling and Ryan were on third and second respectively. Anson hit a ball directly to McLaughlin, who first failed to hold it on the bounce and then fumbled it three or four times, permit ting both Ryan and Darling to score and enabling Anson to reach first. The winning run in the ninth was made by Burns' double and Day's hit ' to left, which would have netted three bases if necessary.

The lirst quarter was made in 30 seconds, halt mile in ItOOJ/, three-quarters in 1:49, and the mile in 2:1*%. The weather was cool and a strong northwester blew down the back stretch directly in the face of the horse, and it is thought 2:15 would have been made with favorable circumstances.

J ! } Saratoga, N. V., Sept. I.—The .final heat in the singles was rowed to-day, i; the second day of the regatta on Sara toga lake. It was thought to-day that i the regatta would have to close, as: hot enough money had been collected to fill the * purses for the rest of the week, i Owing to this fact the winners of the trial heats gave the others the" privilege of competing for the final. Ross and Plaisted did not care to exert them selves, so the race was left with the others. Teenier was the first away, fol lowed hy Hamm, Bubear and " Lee. After a few lengths Lee passed to third . place. All the way to the turn Teemer kept crawling away from 1 Hamm and the interest was - centered in these two. Teenier turned the buoy in 4:40, Hamm in 4:48 and Lee in . 5:21. On straightening away- for the return Teenier led by six lengths which he gradually increased, and the second turn he made in 9:41, Hamm 9:47 and Lee 10:25. This was the position during the remainder of the race,Teemer keep ing a lead of about fifteen lengths over: Hamm, who was an eighth of a mile in : advance of Lee.: :. ■ Cricket Matches. .-,-■ - a-^ A meeting of the members of the St. Paul Cricket club was he Id at the Wind sor hotel ; last evening, when the que.-i -tion of playing the Winnipeg and Mars clubs was 'up'.'for-.discussion.

The programme will prob- f ably he as follows: . . Wednesday, Winnipeg vs. Minneapolis, and St. Paul vs. Le Mars. Thursday, Winnipeg vs. Le Mars. • Friday, Minneapolis vs. Le Mars. Saturday/Winnipeg vs. St. Paul. The club has received a jgood deal of" encouragement; and is * confident: the: tournament will be a success; Citizens who take an interest in-athletic sports and are anxious that cricket should be-". come a more popular j game will render I material aid by forwarding their sub-7 scriptions to D. Crowther, the secretary; . of the club, St. Paul. 'Scraps of Sport. Tommy Warren left Minneapolis yesterday for La Crosse, where he will devote - three weeks to training for his match with Havelin. — •*. — • CHARGED WITH ARSON. A Boy Suspected of a Very Se- : rious Crime. Special to the Globe. Maxkato, Sept. Frank Lobdell, the nine-year-old son of Pliny Lobdell, was arrested yesterday on* a warrant sworn out by John Duffy, charging him with arson in the third degree. On the Oth of August last the barns of Mr. Duffy and Mr. Lobdell, who live upon adjoining lots, were burned in a suspic ious manner. The fire was at first sup posed to have been the | work of some tramps, but as the Lobdells were not in the best standing in this neighborhood, vague rumors soon began to circulate, charging the boy, who has since been arrested, with having set the fire out of malice. This the boy has always stoutly denied except upon one occasion and thac was when he was under the influence of self-constituted detectives, who ob tained from him an admission that he lit a match in the barn anil stamped it out with his feet. This, the boy in court asserted he had said, - because one of the men had led him to think it was his only means of escaping impris onment. The case of the state rests en tirely upon this confession, while strong and undisputed evidence has been in troduced to show that the fire originated in the loft, and not on the ground floor, where the boy confessed' he set it. At the preliminary examination to-day be fore Judge Porter the boy was bound over to appear before the grand jury in December, and his bail placed at $100. The boy has a frank and honest ap pearance, and tells a straight story. There is a strong feeling among the peo ple here that the boy is innocent. mm i • • • U. S. District Conrt. Special to the Globe. Winoxa, Sept. The United States district court opened its September term here at 10 o'clock this morning, Judge Nelson, presiding; Owing to the absence of Marshal Campbell, who had important papers in his possession, the grand jury did not transact any busi ness, being ordered to be present at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. ; Among the cases already on the calendar are in dictments against George Hoffman,. John Oleson, Frank Thoniwall, Reuben Gray, Charles E. Gray, William Bank eney, James Brown, William Taylor, Joseph Ilande, Jesse -Lome, A. O. .Nar row and Aaron Moses for sell ing liquor to Indians; Jacob Ham mer, William Griffin, K. J. Dramond, •N. Michaud, V. S. Britt, E. Dumas, M.

Pieha, for violation of postal laws. Marshal Campbell arrived here by boat with a nuuiber of prisoners this afternoon. .-■ ■ .- ■ . mt . , ...■■ "Wrecked at Sea. ; New York, Sept. The steamer City of Alexandria, which arrived here this morning from Mexican ports via Havana, brought the captain and seven teen sailors of the abandoned ship Lina. The Lina was a German vessel and left Pensacola with a cargo of lumber three weeks ago, bound for Dortrecht. In the terrific hurricane of the 25th of August, which wrought so much destruction,she labored badly and sprung a leak. Sev eral times during the next few days the crew thought they would be obliged to take to the life boats, but on the 27th the American brig Mercury, from Cuba to Boston, rescued them. The Mercury hailed the City of Alexandria later in the day and transferred the Lina's crew to the steamer. ,The Lina" was not in sured, but the cargo was fully covered. — i A Horr.ble Pall. St. Louis, Sept. I.—A special from Prince, Mo., says: At Mercer county fair, yesterday afternoon Randall Blakeslee, a half-breed Indian, made a balloon ascension, hanging to a trapeze. In the ascent the balloon shot up sud denly, giving Blakeslee a severe wrench and he was unable to pull himself on the bar, but managed to hold himself up by a loop which he: had drawn around his wrist. After traveling about a mile and a half, reaching the altitude of 2,000 feet, the balloon began to de scend, but the poor fellow's strength gave out, and when within 500 feet of the earth his grip relaxed and he fell to the earth, lighting on his feet in a corn field.his thighs being broken and driven into the trunk of his body. -mi~- . A Deserter. *. Special to the Globe. Sioux City, 10., Sept. I—R. A. Wil lard, a printer who has been here for something over a year, was arrested this morning and taken to Omaha where he was turned over to the proper officers as a deserter from the regular army. Wil lard got on occasional sprees, and at such times boasted of the fact, and this morning went to the sheriff's office and gave himself up. Willard has been sick for several months and friends think the matter preyed on his conscience. m Made Good Scores. Special to the Globe. ." 7. .7^ Omaha, Neb., Sept.

Bs. **? Y5? above and along ,- 5;;,..... "Ss«H^'- ' Nicollet avenue, j The spacious avenue never looked love lier, and the assertion was freely made j last night that never was a single street in the country more beautifully and ar tistically decorated and illuminated. It is the feature of the Exposition. For eight blocks the dazzling array of bright; globes bewilders the eye and dissipates; the darkness, and for , the rest of the; way to the Exposition a glittering ag gregation of electric lights marks the route to the "greatest show on earth." \ Last year the illumination was held to be magnificent, but that which first dazzled the public last night is in every way superior. To those who viewed its beauties a description is unnecessary, and for those who did not it is impossi ble. To last year's arches and circles and pyramids are added other arches and circles and pyramids, and are, added, above, all, the stately corner pieces, which crown the work. Forty thousand people turned out to see the inauguration of the illumination. The rest of the city stayed at home to' avoid the crush and afterwark view the scene at their leisure. From the river to Eighth street the avenue was one dense mass of moving humanity from 7 o'clock to 10, and was well filled at 11, when the illumination was over. The rush and crush were inconceivable. Each sidewalk had two rows, some in opposite directions, while double rows of carriages filled the street. The mounted patrolmen were all on duty and were kept busy sorting, separating and disentangling the ways of equipages, and when the breadth of Nicollet avenue is taken into considera tion in connection with this some idea of the crowd may be obtained. Foot patrolmen, with scoured white hats and new red cord and tassels to their batons, were strung out over the crossings, to stem the tide at regular intervals and protect pedestrians. Everybody was out. In the noonday glare of the mul titudinous lights any one might have counted his list of acquaintances, all bedizened in their finest feath ers and all on dress parade. The equipages were gotten up in their best style, with shining harness, > sleek horses and liveried footmen, and with tops back to give full view of the brightly dressed occupants. For the ladies there was not only the pleasure of seeing, but the more exquisite de light of being seen. The whole scene could only be compared to that of Mardi Gras night in Rome—the last night of the festival—when the glare and excite ment reach their height before being extinguished. . -^ ■-T A striking addition to last year's dis play is the electric illumination from bridge square across the river. Arc lights have been placed at intervals on the sidewalks and hung in colored arches at the bridge entrance. A dou ble row of the same lights sparkle on the bridge and give it the appearance, from below, of a gorgeous necklace of gleaming brilliants. The lights con tinue across the island and Eastern bridge and out Central avenue to end and the Exposition building itself, which is a blazing mass of pure white light. The effect is wonderful and beautiful and drew out admiring exclamations from the crowds. The illumination is a grand success and the biggest advertisement the city ever had. *7-~7 r: At the Exposition. The second day of the Exposition has come and gone, and it was marked by an immense attendance of evidently highly interested and happy people. In the afternoon the Cadet baud, of Mil waukee, under the baton of their organ izer, Prof. Hensler, discoursed i sweet music in their own charming way. Too much praise cannot be given'this or chestra the instruments they use are of the best, and their handling of them is the finest; further, it should be re membered, no one performer is older than eighteen, and so the novelty of this aggregation can be imagined. The place that attracted the largest crowds yesterday was THE ART GALLERY and it was Well that it should be so, for it is a magnificent treat and the manage ment are worthy of all the praises that can be showered upon them for afford ing it to the Twin Cities and the whole Northwest. -In'conversation a very pleasant and artistic lady from Chicago remarked that that city had never had a collection of paintings to be compared to this. The first thing that strikes the eye is the brightness and charm of the toutensemble. There is noth ing that worries the sight and this is also due to the good judgment used is hanging. Another noticeable feature in the great number of marine subjects and this was a first rate idea of the collectors, as the views of the ocean are novel and pleasing to eyes accus tomed to land scenery all the time. It will be impossible to do justice to this gallery of art in one sketch, but re views of the principal and striking pictures will be given from time to time. THE HUNT BALL. . The first picture on the catalogue is Stewart's Hunt Ball (Seney Collection) valued at $10,000. It would be almost rediculous to criticise this painting; suffice it then to draw attention to the fact of its being there in all its beauty of design and coloring. It represents the interior of an old English country manor, and one could imagine Brace bridge hall, while looking at it. A hunt ball is in progress, the ladies are all in ball costume, the gentlemen wear the red jackets of the hunt and the whole is full of life and touched with a gentle humor. Among - examples of modern painting (English school), this is by far one of the most valuable. No. 102, old violin valued at $3,300 and the work of W. M. Harriett attracts by far the most atten tion and a large crowd lingered admir ingly around it all the afternoon. It represents an old door on which is hung a sheet of music and a violin. An en velope is fastenrd to a nail and a scrap of a newspaper is apparently glued on the door. Words are inadequate to describe the wonderful perspective power achieved in this still life and to be appreciated it needs to be looked at. All one can say about it is the remark of Dominie Sampson, "it is prodigious, prodigious." James H. Beard, whose genius runs to satire, - Is represented by three pieces: No. 2. "It's Very Queer, Isn't It;" 94, "On Guard," and his famous "Bulls and Bears,", valued at $0,000, wherein is rep resented Wall street, New York, pande monium raging near the stock ex change, an invasion haying occurred of an infuriated lot of bulls and bears. The satire that can be seen between the lines is delicate, but cutting as steel. AMONG LOCAL AKTISTS " that are well represented are C. Adele Fassett, who has had a varied and inter esting career in art. Living ' for many years in the art centers of Europe, her experience is rich in art - knowledge. She is well known In Chicago and quite famous at Washington, D. C. While there her husband lost a large fortune, and, though how no longer young, she has come out here to. Minneapolis, and already has attracted a good deal of at tention among' the art people. Manager Palmer's picture is from her studio, and N0.'304, portrait of Mrs. Justice Miller," is a striking likeness of that lady, sitting in an easy chair with ricli draperies in the background and holding in her hand a light colored fan. No. 315, a Greek head, also Adele Tassett's work, is fine example in the classical style, and ' is good both in ; coloring and arrange ment. '. Among the maritime paintings, No. 144, "A Fresh Breeze," M\ F. H, de Haas, is about the best. The water is treated In a mar velous manner, the waves seem to topple over one another as the breeze gains in force, and the schooner in the foreground bends to the gale and dance's o'er the waves; and there, as natural as can be, is seen the green 'color in the under current q£ rr.s' water, and it mingles and h'/ends in a beautiful man nerwith tfie blue and white tints on the surfftet. This picture merits all praise. in odd 7 effort is No. 3, Violet. It represents a girl's face more clever looking than pretty across her forehead and in her hair twined sweet violets and for a hack ground the color ing work is odd in the extreme. This picture is sure to attract attention from artistic people. It was done by J. Car-, roll Beckworth, a rising j young Amer ican artist of great promise who has had considerable European experience. There are 340 pictures in the main collection. Besides this there is an Italian collection that is very beautiful and extensive. The water-color department and an ex tremely fine exhibit from the industrial art for women from New York city. Notices of these departments will be all given due time. The Scandinavian collection has ar rived, and was hung last night, but not quite finished. This is sure to attract wide attention. F. L. DARROW A CO. 7-7* With their usual amount of push and enterprise as exhibiting a fair sample of their immense stock of carriages and harness, fur robes and all kinds of horse sundries, their display this season will be found near the southeast corner on the second floor, and attracts universal attention. -Around their entire exhibit is a pretty little driveway, or race track, where a smart team of ponies will trot against time at regular intervals, and those who have not seen one of these races lit tle realize how great a portion of the entire Exposition they have missed. To give a fair showing of their entire stock would require a quarter, section of the entire floor, but anything on earth that belongs to their line of business can be found at their large stores, 623 and 625 Nicollet avenue. Visitors in their trip around town will not fail to visit this one of the most important and best houses in the city. Exposition Notes. On the register of the press department were the following names: Louis E. Fisher. St. Paul. This gentleman is the fattier of journalism in the state, and was warmly welcomed by the management on his appear ance. G. S. Pease, Union, Dak.; Charles Foswell, Trade Review; C. E. Sherin, St. Paul; and T. K. Long, Star City. The breakage in the water pipes which caused so much annoyance to the public and the management yesterday and the day be fore, will be entirely remedied to-day, and a full supply of water may be looked for on every floor. Plumbers have been working steadily on the disfigured Dipes for the past fifty hours. 7-77-,.--: .".. The youngest member of Hensler's band is the drum major, aged seven; the oldest is eighteen; Joe Moohr, aged ten, is the finest singer; Charley Simandl, clarionet player, is the best instrumentalist; Prof. Hensler is well Known as a composer. .' %. The attendants are all courteous and po lite. The ladies tending the different stands through the great building are—well— are pretty, ye know. The pond looks great at night. A large boat floats on its surface and the many col ered lights just above the water are very pretty. The newspaper men from abroad have not begun to arrive in force as yet. but they will probably catch on within a few days. The Cadet Band of Milwaukee's concert was highly appreciated, especially the vocal portion. :■ There will be a large excursion from Min netonka next week. The government exhibit was crowded all day. The picture gallery looms up well at night. Attendance for the second day was 8,140. The diorama catches the crowd. Everybody seems satisfied. PROPERTY OAVNERS MEET But Fail to Come to a Definite Understanding. About seventy-five property owners from the Fifth, Sixth and Eleventh wards, composing what is known as the Franklin Avenue Improvement associa tion, met last night at Tolefson's hall to discuss the advisability of further pro ceeding in the matter of widening Frank lin avenue. 'Conspicuous among those present were Aid. Muldoon, Johnson and Swenson, from the Eleventh, and Stoft from the Sixth ward. It seems That about two months ago Alderman Muldoon, at the earnest solicitation of the residents interested, secured the passage of a resolution in the city council to widen Franklin avenue from Cedar avenue to Twelfth avenue south to a uniform width of eighty feet from ;building to building, with the one notable exception of the Jones block, and a commission was appointed for the purpose of appraising the property affected. This commission, after, in a measure, having completed its labors, finds an error in the original survey, and that the Jones block will he left five feet in the street instead of two feet, as was supposed. This has resulted in developing a decided opposition from some of the property owners, and at the meeting last night this disposi tion was manifested by a motion from R. B. Thompson "to request the council to widen Franklin avenue, from Cedar avenue to Lake of the Isles,to a uniform width of eighty feet, cutting off all the buildings to the street line." This mo tion finally prevailed, only to be fol lowed, after much discussion, by another to reconsider, which was I also carried, but, in the absence of any ' definite attempt to do any reconsider ing, an adjournment was" taken. Dur ing the evening an election of officers for the next six months was perfected, which resulted in reinstating the old ones, which are as follows: D. M. Un derwood, president; R. B. Thompson, vice president; Aid. Muldoon, secretary. Conncil Committees, j, 7 The council committee on streets, grades and additions yesterday passed the following plats: Hobart's subdi vision of lot 1, block 2, Ridgewood's ad dition, D. Bassett's addition, Minnehaha Park addition, and again wrestled with the proposed change of grade on Second street, from Central avenue to the ex position building, but finally postponed action for one week. The committees on roads and bridges and ways and means met jointly to de cide what should be done toward ac cepting a bid for the construction of the Franklin avenue bridge. While Aid. Stoft's resolution, pledging the faith of the city has provided for the. §30,000 de ficit, still it was thought that this must be accepted by a contractor before the committee can act, hence nothing was done. The special committee cm city hospital meets this afternoon at 2:30. The committee on roads and bridges and the aldermen from the First ward meet this afternoon at 2 o'clock to con sider the Nicollet Island bridge question. Rev. Mr. Shutter Home. Rev. M. D. Shutter, of the Church of the Redeemer, arrived home from his European trip yesterday, and is now at the Hotel Ardmore. In speaking of his trip he said: "1 mingled mainly with the middle classes and the clergy while in -England, as 1 did not go for the pur- Sose studying the social side of the English people and their attitude toward Gladstone and his Irish policy.
