Iccnsed of Making False Statements Re garding the Telegraph Serrice. No Interference With Minister Mizner's Com munications—President Barillas' Flight Predicted. Special Dispatches to Thk Morning Call. El Paso, Aug. 7.— New York papers reached here to-day containing interviews with Minister Cruz and Consul-General Baiz in regard to the interrupted communi cation between Secretary Blame and Min ister Mizuer at Guatemala. The New York officials of that Government charge that the only wires now existing are monopo lized by the Bonilla family, who have a news agency, with one member of the fam ily at El Paso, Tex. The Times here pub lished this morning an Interview in the New York Star, and in its issue to-morrow will appear the followius answer from Bo nilla: -•:. El Paso (Tex.) August 7, 1800. To the Editor of ihe Times— Much ESTEEMED Fr.ii.Ni': 1 was surprised to find io sour issue to-day a clipping Irom the .New York Star, where in the Guatemalan Minister. Cruz, ami Consul- Geneial B.iiz attack my tamily and the tele graphic agency conuueted by myself aud brothers, who reside at tbe capital of Guate mala. In auswer, I begin by sayiug that as our telegraphic business Is not participated in by ray father nothing should he said of Dim. In regard to the representations ano complaints made by Minister Cruz and Consul Baiz, 1 am in a posi tion to say that they tell an antrum, and shall have the pleasure of h .Ting this fact come before the world as soon as Mr. Blame, the Mexican • Minister aod Mr. Mizuer terminate their Investi gation*. All ihey have said to the Star is a tissue ol falsehoods, and would lug the blush to the lace of a gentleman. Mr. Ciuz says he was Indignant at learning of a syndicate tha; monopolize.* telegraphic com munication with the seat of war. a i mat lite syndicate consisted of the Bon ilia family. Mr. Ciuz tells an unlrulh when he says my father Is connected with our business. He also falsities when lie says that one of mv brothers is sta tion ed at l.a Lileitad, a pott of isa v.dor, aud the only Instance whereiu he does not lie Is In locating on of Ihe brothers here Willi unices in I'aso del Norte and El Paso, Tex. The iter of this hereby denounces hiiu as a falsifier as he de serves. -s.'s-i The statement that the Bonilla agency had monopolized tne Mexican Central wires has pro voked laughter hereabouts. The Bonilla Agency has never sent out a line of uews to any news paper, and Ciuz lies when lie so slate-, lv regard to tlie last charge of intercepting telegrams 1 will say that a tew days aeo the New Yoik Slat ■aid thai it was strange that Mr. Blame could 00l communicate by cable with Guatemala aud that it was unusually stranze that Mr. Blame bad heard from Mr.' Mlzner at Guatemala by cable and that It was equally strange thai Mr. Blame bad not heard from Mr. .Mizuer at Guate mala by another line— the Bonilla agency. Tills proves that Cruz has lied, for .Mizner's messages through the Bonilla agency always reached Blame, while the latlei's messages to Mizuer by cable tailed to reach their destination. The leaser for this Is plain. l.a Libertad, through which the cable reaches Guatemala. Is in Salvador, and since June 22tl communication through that point has been stopped. The cable company knowing tins has failed lo refuse mes sages for Guatemala, while our agency ha! promt dispatched ail telegiams. Even yesterday the Bonilla ag ney transmitted over two hundred wolds from Mlzner to Blame. If we had' even Intercepted their telegrams wo would not be lurther liusled with them. We -have no monopoly. Any person or pei sons can engage in Ibe business we cany on. Iv fact there is now here In £1 Paso, Juda Kodrlgnes Castl Dejon, the Secietary of the Guatemalan Legation at the City of Mexico, who has been transmitting the official messages of bis Government for two years over our ageucy and has handled lelegiams for both Cruz and Baiz and their Governments, lv tact, not over eight years ago 1 had In my bauds a message for both of them, yet ihey tell the Star "that it was new to tliem." The fact Is they pave patronized our service because it Is effi cient, prompt and cheap. We have but two con necting offices lo leach the Culled Stales, while the cable nas six belore teaching Galveston. In leitaid to the charite that we have refused tbe Associated press our news, it is ausweted by the simple statement that we have uot dealt In news, hut we would be happy to serve them as soon as peace is resioied iv Central America. Your obedieut servant, Jose Diez de Bonilla. San* Salvador, Aug. President Ba rillas of Guatemala has 3000 soldiers on the road to Port San Jose, ready to "protect his flight from the couutry.

A Salvador dispatch says: General Mi randa, the accomplice of the traitor Rivas, who aspires to the Presidency of Salvador, has been routed, and Salvador is now free Irom marauding bands. A cipher dispatch from Guatemala says : The revolution is Increasing. General lr ungary, the revolutionist who captured Chiquimula, has increased bis forces by large numbers of deserters from the Guate malan ranks. Dissatisfaction reigns su preme, and the flight of President Barillas ls looked for at any moment. CELMAN'S RESIGNATION. Its Acceptance Opposed in the Chamber of Deputies— The New Cabinet. Buenos Aybeb, Aug. After the read ing in the Chamber of Deputies ol Presi dent Celman's message, tendering bis resig nation of the Presidency, General Roca invited the members to express their opin ions as to the advisability of accepting it. General Mansella opposed Its acceptance, on the ground that such action by the Cham ber would be an admission ol the triumph of the revolution and Buenos Ayres over tbe other provinces of the republic. He declared the action ol President Celman in tendering his resignation culpable cow ardice. Roca explained that, he had sacrificed himself in order to show how utterly im possible It was for Celman to continue in the Presidency after the mistakes made by tlie members of the President's party. Nobody, lie declared, could serve a man who had shown such complete Incapacity. He had gravely compromised the country. It was not Buenos Ayres alone which op posed President Celman. butevery province ol the republic and every honest man was against him. Roca's remarks were greeted with applause.

London, Aug. 7.— ln the Commons to night Sir James Fergusson, replying to Mr. Schwann's strong criticism on Turkey's dealing with Armenia, said he regretted that member's unfortunate language, which was almost enough to incite the Armenians to rebel.

Professor Bryee com plained that the Government was keeping the House in ignorance of events in Ar menia and neglecting to make a proper in quiry. Deaths From ( h->ra.

RIOTOUS CONVICTS. Desperate Conflict in the Charles town State Prison, Fifty of tbe Inmates Make a Sodden Break for Liberty. Pistols and Clubs Freely Used by the Guards— Many of the Prisoners ' Badly Wounded. Special Dispatches to The 3_o-t_.-i_.-a Call. Boston, Aug. 7.— For some time . past trouble has been brewing at the Charles town State Prison, having its origin in the objection of the inmates to submit to the enforcement of the Bertilion system of measurements. This afternoon the convicts in the shoe-shop refused to obey orders and, as if by some prearranged signal, all set up a terrific yell, and missiles of every descrip tion were sent flying In all directions, and the windows on the north and west side were entirely demolished. They made a dash for the yard and a niob_,of over fifty infuriated convicts rushed for the various walls. Instantly the sentries began firing. Other ofiicers of tiio Institution were quickly at band and with drawn revolvers massed the gang iv groups after a bard fight, ln which clubs were freely used and many convicts' heads were badly crushed. Word was quickly sent to police headquarters, and iv a short time 200 policemen reached the prison in patrol-wagons. It is not thought any of the prisoners are seriously wounded, but as the excitement has not fully sub sided, it is impossible to say what the re sult of the shooting was. The guards on the walls have been trebled and a large number of police are massed in the yard and corridors. DEAL DECI.ARED OFF. Failure of an Alleged ilepub'.ican Syndicate to Obtain Control of a Denver Pacer. Denver, Aug. 7.— For soma time there have been various rumors in circulation in regard to a Republican syndicate of this city, composed of Senator Wolcott, his brother, Henry Wolcott, Governor Cooper, W. H. Griffith and the son of J. S. Clarkson of lowa. The syndicate paid $10,000 on the option, which expired at midnight last night, and as the remaining $390,000 was not forthcoming. Colonel John Atkins. President of the News Company, called the deal off, and this morning published the following editorial: Thomas M. Patterson has purchased the whole of James .M. l'.iuiieM's stock In the Kocky Mount ain News Printing Company, which was lull one half, and also enough of the stock owned by John Arkius lo glvo linn a majority of the stock and the control of this paper. Mr. Patterson has deteimlued to retire from tbe practice of rhe law after llie closing up of all ot ins present business 111 Ihe couits by tii.il or otherwise, and then to assume editorial management of the News. Al though because of bis pressing engagements be cannot now give his p-r'onal attention to lue paper, he will hold himself responsible for its ediioil.il utterances henceforth. Mr. Atkins will continue as heretofore the President and Manager of me company. Mr. Patterson is well known as the lead ing Democratic politician aud criminal law yer of Colorado. He was a candidate for Governor two years ago aud was defeated by Job A. Cooper. He was Territorial Delegate to Congress in the sessions of 1875 and 1676, and won a national reputation for himself in his speech seconding the nom ination of Mr. Cleveland at the St. Louis convention. PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION. The Atchison Negotiating to Obtain Control ci th. Missouri Pacific. New York, Aug. 7.— Not much has been beard lately of the negotiations which it is known were under way a couple ol months ago between the Missouri Pacific and the Atchison roads, looking to the practical consolidation of their southwestern inter ests. It has, in fact, says the Times this morning, been stated in Wall street, with more or less circumstantial evidence to sup port the report, that negotiations between the Atchison people and Gould were at an end, and that Gould was in bad humor and Intent on keeping up the war which so hurt the income ot both roads last year. It la probable, however, il will not be very long before it is discovered these rumors are far from the truth. Gould is still in conference with the financial magnates controlling the Atchison property, and it is staled upou what is very close to official authority, that very material progress bus been made to ward harmonizing the conflicting interests that have hitherto kept the roads apart. It is intimated that the arrangement in pros pect is to be a cast-iron traffic agreement by which the territory is to be divided, traffic allotted, and the rates put up and kept up. There are people of consequence who declare the Atchison's ambition to gain control of the Missouri Pacific and its allied properties have not been by any means abandoned. THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. Lively Discussion in the Convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union. Pittsburg, Aug. 7.— There was an up roar in the National' Convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union to-day. Delegate Feunossy of Boston introduced a resolution recommending the teaching of prohibition of the liquor traffic in the Cath olic parochial schools and the injection of prohibition matter in the text-books. Father James J. McTighe of Pittsburg opposed the resolution bitterly and was hissed by the lay delegates. McTighe said such a course was Impossible, because the church never taught total abstinence. He said: "I say that a glass of wine, beer or ale is not injurious to anybody." Hisses and groans followed. Some of the interested spectators were a delegation of members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, who occupied a private box and, although of opposite religious faith, applauded vigor ously all prohibition sentiments. CAPITAL AND LABOR. Union Men Ordered to Quit work— Ths New York Cloak-Makers. Chicago, Aug. 7.— Most of the union op erators have left the contractors' shops, but the latter are employing non-union help, and will hereafter educate American girls to the trade.

Central American and other coffees are admitted to trading In addition to Bra zill.in coffees, has caused . a big split In the exchange. .This has been threatened for some days. The break came to-day, when Crossman & Bros, and S. Ginner & Co. an nounced that they had decided to withdraw from trading In options.

New York, Aug. 7.— General Daniel E. Sickles. Sheriff of New York, In an Inter view expressed the opinion that the exhi bition in the death chamber at Auburn Prison would not have the slightest influ ence in securing the repeal of the law. "Why should the law be repealed?" be asked. "Simply because this man suffered? Nonsense. He deserved to suffer, and the greater the suffering the greater the deter ring effect on murderous creatures of his ilk." "But, General," suggested a reporter, "the ostensible reason why the law was substituted for the old law was that it was supposed to provide a more civilized wav of putting criminals to death. Their suffer ings were to be decreased as much as pos sible." "Yes, I understand that. And let me say right hero, the maudlin sentiment of sym pathy for these wife-butchers and other brutes, stimulated by alleged conversion, is altogether wrong. Men like this Kemmler should be punished, and if their punishment is enhanced by the latest method of execu tion it is not cause for sorrow, by any means. But aside from that, granting that the new law was intended to make death as painless as possible. it has' by no . means been demonstrated that the execution was a failure. It was the first attempt, remem ber, and as successful, 1 imagine, as was the first attempt at hanging a murderer or crucifying him. Electrocution is an art that has to be acquired by practice, and after three or lour scoundrels have been put out ot the way by this method then things will gradually move more easily." Auburn, Aim. 7. — The subject which continues to excite the greatest interest in connection wiih the execution of Kemmler is the record of the voltage of the shock which killed him. It has been generally supposed the first shock wis 1300 volts and the second between 1300 and 2000. Elec trician Barnes, who was in the dynamo room, said to one of tho physicians In at tendance yesterday that at no time was the voltage more than 1100, and it frequently fell to 800. Warden Durston stated tbls afternoon that the remains of Kemmler still lie in the room in the prison where the autopsy was held. He had not decided where the re mains will be buried. Buffalo, Aug. 7.— Dr. A. P. South wick, the father of the Electrical Execution law, said to-day in an interview: "I feel just as I always have felt on this matter. There is noihing against the system at all, and the fact is. there has been a great deal of sense less sensational talk about the execution. For instance, the big story in regard to froth, saliva, etc., coming from Kemmler's mouth is ridiculous. It was a perfectly natural thing and was caused by muscular contraction of the stomach.. If the mistake of ordering off the current so quickly had not been mode, there would have In en none of this talk. The burning of flesh Is also exaggerated, and was caused simply by the fact that the spongo under the electrode was too small, . a light current passing through and the sponge having dried out. The electrode just touched the skin. Kemmler never knew what happened to him and died absolutely without pain." London, Aug. 7.— Mr. Preece, chief elec trician of the postoffice, in an interview to day, recalled his denouncing electricity' as a means of execution before the British association in I ■-.-!•, bis experience proving the difficulty and uncertainty of killing even a rabbit with the most powerful induction coil ever made. The great difficulty lay In the absence of any accuiate knowledge as to what amount of electricity would be certain to produce death without torture. From a scientific view Kemmler's execution was a failure. Beyond a doubt, he suffered intense torture. WOULDN'T BE INTERVIEWED. Blame Refuses to Talk Abont His Visit to President Harrison. Boston, Aug. 7.— Mr. Blame was inter viewed last night on the eve of departing for his home in Augusta. He declined to speak of his recent visit to the President, but said he wanted to say this: "I have been so misrepresented by the Democratic papers that I want to say that the Presi dent and I are the best of friends, and agree perfectly upon all matters of national good, Instead of being a rival of Mr. Reed's, he and I are the warmest personal friends. . I have watched his career with pride, -and consider him a most able and audacious man. As 'a ■ Republican' I am with him heart and soul. If be is nomi nated in 1692, as many expect, I shall eagerly support him. He, like me. Is for the protection of American labor, knowing full well that any party is lost which deserts the cause of tho working people." New York, Aug. 7.— Nearly all the even ing papers have special Washington dis patches confirmatory of the rumor that the President has been won over to Blame scheme of reciprocity. The Mall and Express says that the Pres ident has hit on a compromise. m Th 6 Post's special says the President will encourage Republicans to make the Aldrich amendment the basis ola compromise. The Commercial Advertiser says if a com promise is effected a treaty will probably be negotiated first with Brazil. Such a treaty with Brazil had already . progressed almost to completion 'when, the free-sugar clause was adopted in the McKinley bill. The negotiations ■ were then _ broken _ off. The negotiations will be resumed soon after tho reciprocity amendment is : adopted. Blame has defeated his enemies.

Where election officers refuse to administer oaths to voters applying therefor it is pro vided in the bill that the supervisors shall administer the oath, but no effort will be made to have the vote thus refused cast, the object being merely to preserve the tes timony of application and refusal. ■*- — THE POSTOFFICE SITE. General Clarkson's Beport on Hit luvestiga- tions Not Y. t Made. Washington, Aug. 7.— Secretary Wiu doni stated to-day that us yet he had not been able to secure the attendance of his colleagues on the San Francisco site Com mission in order to receive General Clark son's report on the various sites and their advantages. ' He had telegraphed to the At- torney-General, who was out of the city, and as soon as be returned be would call a meeting. No action will be taken ou Clark son's report until Colonel Low, who repre sents the Treasury Department, shall have sent in his. Then, if Low's report follows that of C larkson and the local San Frau cisco Commission in recommending the site ou Second and Howard streets, lacing New Montgomery, that site will undoubtedly be selected, But if Low dissonts, the question may remain open, although it is believed that Clarkson's judgment would be consid ered better than Low's. In response to an inquiry, the Secretary stated that he had received no protests since the California Associated Press had sent out the substance of Clarkson's report. The Secretary seemed somewhat surprised when told of Low's presence In San Fran cisco, and that it was known. He said that he had expected that Low had gone to San Jose first. It appears that it was intended that Low's visit to San Francisco should be kept secret, In order that he might not be embarrassed during his investigation by owners of the various sites. The San Jose site was to be the known object of bis trip, while the San Fraucisco site was really the ulterior and main object. WON ITS POINT. Decision in the Case of the Saa Bernardino Board of Trade Against th . Atchison. Washington, Aug. 7.— The Interstate Commerce Commission announced its de cision in the case of the San Bernardino Board of Trade against the Atchison, To peka and Santa Fo and others in favor of the complainant. The complainant alleged that tho railroad company charged more on certain specified commodities from Missouri River points, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincin nati, Detroit aud New York to San Bernar dino, than lor a longer distance over the same line to Los Angeles. The points de elded are briefly stated as follows:' Where the complaint alleges that a greater charge In the aggregate for the transportation of a like kind of property is made for a shorter than for a longer distance over the same line in the same direction, the shorter being included lv the longer, and that unlawful preference is thereby given one locality ' over another, it is held that the complaint is sufficient to put the I carriers on proof that the services were performed under such dissimilar circum stances as to justify the greater charge. Water competition which will justify tiie greater charge for the shorter distance by railroads must be actual. Possible compe tition will not justify such greater charge under tho provisions of the fourth section of the act to regulate commerce. The fil ing of schedule' rates with tho commission, as required by the . statute, raises no pre sumption as "to , the legality of such rates, and no omission or failure to challenge or disapprove the schedules of rates so filed can have the effect of making rates lawful which are unreasonable. CONGKESS. THE SENATE. Several Sections of the Tariff Bill Disposed Of— Conference Reports. Washington, Aug. 7.— After some pre liminary morning business the Tariff Bill was taken up by the Senate, the pending Question being on Vance's amendment to ; reduce the duly on pig-iron from three tenths of a cent per pouud to $5 per ton. Vance's amendment was . rejected— ayes 17, noes 21. There was no deviation from party lines on the vote. The next paragraph (129) taxes bar iron, round iron, flat and square iron, Irom eight-tenths of a cent to 1 cent per pound/ according to classification. ~^g_B_B_____K_HS"**» McPherxon stated that the average duly in the paragraph was nine-tenths of a cent per pound ; that the duty on one ton of such iron, in equal quantities, would be $20 10 per ton. The Iron referred to was of the lowest quality, not charcoal iron, and the duty proposed was altogether too high. He moved to amend by striking out the rate per pound and inserting a uniform rate of 50 per cent ad valorem. He said : that the duty proposed in the bill was equal to 80 percent. - Sherman questioned McPherson's facts and figures. . After further debate McPherson's amend ment was rejected— ayes 18, noes 28—an other strict party vote. • The next paragraph (130) taxes round iroti In coils or rods, of certain shapes and sizes, 1 1-10 cents per pound, with the pro vision that all charcoal Iron shall be subject to a duty of less than $22 per ton.

The bill, said Allison, as it passed the House, had carried $28,000,000, and was then increased by the Senate $5,000,000. j The net reductions agreed to in the . Conference Committee amounted to $3,706,000, so that the bill carried under the conference report $29,852,000. The amendment as to the Latin-Ameri can Memorial Library had been struck out; also the provision for the expenses of two additional land offices. The appropriation of 81150,000 for military posts had been re duced to 840,000.

Mitchell expressed his regrets at the post ponement of the River and Harbor Bill. Important works are now stopped in Oregon and he would give preference to the Kiver and Harbor Bill rather thau to the Tariff Bill.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. A Young Girl Found Unconscious in (be Park. Charles Siskron and James York, young men employed In a livery-stable at the cor ner of Tenth and Bryant streets, last night were driving through Golden Gate Park -• about halt-past 8 o'clock, when about ball a mile beyond the con servatory tbelr horse shied nt some object on the side of the road and almost threw the occupants of the buggy from their seats. The young men, upon looking at the caused the animal's fright, saw something white on the road, and on closer Investiga tion discovered an unconscious girl. She was bleeding from the. right ear, and all efforts to arouse her proved futile. Her apparel was in a disordered condition and badly soiled. * York and his companion placed the girl in their vehicle aud drove back to the city. The unconscious young woman was driven to GO Third street, where fri nds of York reside, and there she became partially conscious. -- In her partly sensible moments she said . her name was Rosie Mulligan and that she resided at 94. Howard street. When : asked if she had parents she muttered in the negative and then relapsed' into a comatose state. - :. Dr. R. ■L. Rigdon was summoned and mado a superficial examination of the in jured girl. He found a large swelling on the back of her head, and gave it as his opinion that the skull had been fractured. The patient had also complained of pain in one of her arms but the physician did ; not make an examination of the member, and was unable to state whether or not the arm was fractured.*; '*__ About 10 o'clock the girl was driven to 940 Howard street,' but the people living there did not know her. The young men called at several other houses In the neighborhood with like results. York finally concluded to drive the girl to the Receiving : Hospital.' when she awoke from her stupor and appeared to partially realize her situa tiun.ie"«-M_"<-w "WW* iMht'j yoy__ap«_grt| She begged to be allowed to go home,* but - * refused ... to '.state . where she resided. •' She • said she did f not . wish her _ parents to know of her mishap, and insisted so strongly on being allowed to depart alone ' that York j reluctantly, removed her I from the buggy on -Howard street,', between Fifth ; and • Sixth, aud . she slowly walked aw»y.T<a»^BHp*^e_BllW^iWH«yiaßMßM :-;; She is about ' 17 years ; of age and respec tably attired.

Peek-a-800 Yeacn, Ebright and Everett Play Pennant Ball ". The Senators Could Not Bunch Their Hits, While The; Batted Hard at the Right Time— Leij's Long Shots. Dr. Finn, by a judicious course of ginger, treatment, has entirely rejuvenated his cripples and without boast or brag last niglit he quietly remarked, "I've held my tongue and bided my time for tbe past two months, but now I can say in a spirit of confidence that San Francisco will win the pennant this year." The way the members of the reorganized home team played ball yesterday afternoon was enough to make their manager feel more than proud, and. ll the men keep up their lick Finn's prediction will undoubt edly come true. With one exception the infield 13 now as strong, 11 not stronger, than any in the league and Is in fine condition. Not a lew of their plays yesterday were really of a phenomenal character, and the two errors made at shortstop may be ex cused on account of the accompanying cir cumstances. -V X Yeach was at first for the home team and was never seen to better advantage on this Coast. He put up perfect ball and that is saying a great deal, for many of his chances were far from easy. One of bis put-outs was a neat piece of scooping, but was so quickly performed that few of the specta tors realized the beauty of the play. A hot grounder was sent to Ebright, who blocked it with one hand and threw it with all his force to the initial. The throw was low and the ball would have gone to the grand stand had not Peek-a-boo deftly gathered it up. Ebright was so astonished that he could not refrain from clapping bis bands and yelling "Good boy, Peek." Both Ebright and Everett covered a great deal of territory and made numerous pretty stops and lightning tluows. The third baseman was in a mood for taking every thing und shut out several seemingly sure hits. Ills one-hand catch of a line drive above his head was the feature of the game. Shea fielded his position in good shape and batted out a pair of singles. Keub Levy came within an ace of duplicating his borne run hit of last year over the right-held fence. He knocked the ball to within a foot of the tp of the fence and made two bases on the hit. lie secured a triple and single later in the game. Young pitched a strong game, keeping the hits scattered and displaying fair control of bis curves. In the latter part ol the con test Speer accidentally hit Young over the right eye with the bull, inflicting a painful bruise, but the pitcher stuck to his work. Otto broke his long string of ciphers in the base-hit column by making two safe shot". The Senators played their usual spirited : game, but were out of luck. They could uot hit when safe bits would prove valu able, and their four errors made on difficult chances were all costly, Stapleton, Reitz and Hoffman led in bat ting, the first baseman making more safe hits on the local grounds than he has done for two months. Hoffman was as speedy as ever, and received splendid support from Bowman, but the swifter he pitched - the , harder* he was hit, and the Friscos earned bait of their runs. - The game was a very pretty one to look at, the fielders being full ol dasb, and the batting lively enough to keep the interest up to an exciting pitch. There were six double plays and all ol them were ap plauded. In the first inning Shea hit an infield single to Daley, went to secoud on Han ley's sacrifice and scored on Levy's double. In the second for the visitors Stapleton hit safely to left field and Roberts was given first base on balls. Stapleton scored on Keitz's single and Roberts went home on Hoffman's safe hit past short. ln the third for Frisco Shea and Hanley batted siugles aud scored on Levy's triple to right field. For Sacramento in the third Qodur was bit by a pitched ball and took third when Everett erred on Stapleton's grounder. Stapleton attempted to steal secoud and Godttr scored on Everett's muff ol Speer's throw. In the sixth Stevens was hit by a pitched ball, advanced to third on Young's single and scored when Otto stole second. ln the seventh Levy hit safely to right, went to third on Mcllale's error and scored when the little right fielder dropped Veach's high int. In the eighth Everett was given first on balls, went to second on Speer's sacrifice, took third on Young's single and scored when the pitcher tried to steal second.
