THE HOOSIEKS' GOOD WORK

A Game That in the Beginning Promised Only Defeat for the Home Players. Sullivan Changes the Condition Bovlc Does Tine Pitching and, with Excellent Support, the Contest Is Won Games in Other Cities. The Iloosier ball team in great form defeated the Pittsburg players in the closing contest at the League Park yesterday afternoon. It was by far the strongest up-hill game that the local nine has ever played on the home grounds, and the 1,000 spectators manifested their appreciation by the wildcat enthusiasm in the latter half of the contest. Boyle was in the box, and the crowd was at first disposed to bo unfriendly, but from the fifth inning until tho end, although entertaining a fear that the game would be lost, was in sympathy with hirc, and gave the big pitcher encouragement byfrequent applause. The playing began in a manner that looked very bad for the Glasscock combination, and not until the fifth inning . did a ray of hope appear. When it did come, however, it was with a rush, and from that time on the visitors were held in check. The lloosiers played n stunid game in tho first two innings, at .the end of which Pittsburg had made six rnns,while the local team had not been able to get a man across the plate. Boylo bad not been hit hard, but everything seemed to go wrong, and it looked like a euro defeat for the home nine. It is a well established fact, however, that a game is never lost or won until tho last man is out in the ninth inning, and yesterday's contest had j decided tendency to strengbten that claim. The visitors had Manl in the box, with Miller behind the plate, and when, at tho conclusion of tho third inning, tho lloosiers had not been able To hit his delivery for but threo wellpcattered hits the indications were that weakness at the bat would again bring defeat. The crowd really expected nothing lse. and seemed resigne'd to what appeared to be the inevitable. Sullivan, the new outfielder, who reported for duty night before last, was in right field, in place of McGeachy, the latter being unable to play. The new man was kindly received when he first came to the plate, and after waiting for a good ball, wnich never came, he took first base. A baso on balls to Myers Rent xzitn to second, and on IJas&ett's oat he overran third and was caught. The crowd was disappointed, but in tho next inning he fully redeemed himself and what ho had previously done was forgotten. As will be en later on, he did better the next chance given him, his stick-work in the nftu reilly wining the game. The visitors, by sheer luck, and indifferent work of the home team, made three runs in tho opening inning. Sunday, the first batter, got his base on balls; lianlon ilew out to tsullivan. Then Sunday stole third and scored on Beckley's scratch hit. Ulie latter went to second on an out and came home on another lucky siugle. Carroll made a hit. reached the next base by a clever steal, and crossed the plate on a single by MauL Kuehne went out at first from Meyers to Schceneck, retiring the side. In the next inning three more men came home, and it looked like a forlorn hope for theHoosiers. Miller led oil' with u home-run. Smith was given his base on balls,- but was forced out by Sunday, who scored on Uanlonrs three-bagger. Beckley tlewout to Denny, lifter which Dunlap went to first on balls. The latter stole second. Meyers threw the ball to Bassett who returned it, but over the catcher's head, and lianlon tallied. After that Boyle settled down and pitched a brilliant game. The whole team braced tip, too. and played splendidly. A single 'by Beckley and a double by Dunlap scored the former in the seventh and that ended the run getting for Pittsburg. When Sullivan came to the bat in the fourth, after Hines had been retired, he was kindly received by the crowd, and as an evidence of appreciation he picked out a good one and knocked it over the fence, scoring the first ran for the Hoosiers. Boyle led otT with a doubio in the fifth, and went to third on Seery's out at first. Glasscock got his base on bails and stole second. Denny's grounder was handled by Smith, and Boyle was caught at the plate. Hines's double scored Glasscock. ThenMr. Sullivan knocked the ball over the fence again. When he reached the plate the crowd was wild with excitement, and the new man was greeted with showers of silver. Manl was weakening, and the homo nine kept up the good work in the next inning. Bassett and Schceneck ilew out to Sunday and lianlon, respectively. Boyle made a hit and went to second, when t'eery was given his base on balls. Then Captain Glasscock put the ball against left-field fence, and two runs came home. The batter was left, however, by Denny's out. The next two innings were blanks. In the meantime the visitors had tied the ncore, and that was the situation when the ninth opened, with Seery at the bat. The little left fielder waited and was rewarded by a base on balls. Captain Glasscock thought the scheme a good one and did likewise, though Dnnlap had called Miller up under the bat to steady MauL Denny flew out to Sunday, but Hines followed with a splendid two-bagger and two men came home. Glasscock making a fine slido at the plate, Sullivan went out on Maul's assist to Beckley. Meyers made a single, scoring Hines and stealing second himself, but he was left when Bassett was retired at first. The visitors went out in order. The score:

It is understood that the latter was instructed to practice daily at first base, and it is prceumtd that he is to be given a trial there when the club returns. He is very anxious to play on tho in field and. no doubt, will malce an effort to get himself in shape to cover the first bag. Other League Games. PHILADELPHIA, 6; NEW YORK. 4. Philadelphia, May 7. Bnffinton's effective pitching and gilt-edged fielding enabled the Philadelphias to again down New York this afternoon. Crane was also ffectiye. but the local players' hits were more timelv than those ot the visitors. "Ward's fielding was the conspicuous feature. Both Richardson and Clements hit the ball hard. Score:

The ball glanced from his hand and shot far into tho field, and two Chicago players scored. Thus it is alleged by local cranks that Chicago won by an accident. The game was not interesting, and the only experts who could bat the ball were Strieker and Van Haltren. The weather was like that of July. Score:

Boyle pitched a fine game, and deserved to win it. McGcachy will be able to play in the game to-day. "Wo will make ten runs in the first inning to-morrow,'' wero Glasscock's parting words last night. Had the Hoosiers won Monday's game from Pittsburg they would now be tied for fourth place with that team. Sullivan seems to know how to hit the ball, and it is evident that he will add great strength to the Hoosier team. Denny's ankle is still very lame, aud it is impossible for him to do his usual brilliant work. Ho will be all right in a few days, however. Pittsburg does not seem to be as strong in the box as every one thought. Conway has been hit hard this season, and Galvin and Morris have not done anything very brilliant. Staley is their winning pitcher. HaclnR at Nashville. Nashville. Tenn., May 7. The fifth day's racing at West-side Park was devoid of special interest.

The Former Will Keep Up the Fight, but the Latter Is Willing to Stop. Washington, May 7. General Butler was interviewed again to-day about Admiral Porter and the battlo of New Orleans. , Says I was drunk, does hef " growled the General, referring to tho Admiral's remarks of yesterday. "Well, suppose he does: his statement to that effect will bo satisfactory testimony to the contrary to thoso who know him. 4That speech was written four or five days before tho day on which it was delivered, and copies of it were sent to the various morning newspapers in Boston. Tho statements made by ai. were neither new nor unsupported, as Porter will find out beforo he gets through with this matter. Parton, who is credited with being a careful historian, says, on page 247 of his book 'General Butler in New Orleans:' 'Captain Porter's lleet of steainera were coming rapidly down the river, propelled by a report that tho celebrated ram Manasses was after them.' Why, Porter himself has never denied that, llo admits it. Porter can't tell the truth anyhow. He has attacked me like a blackguard, but I do not propose to make any such fight. This matter is going to be settled once for all, and I'm going to settle it." , Admiral Porter said this evening in reply to the remarks of General Butler, sent out by the United Press last night: T see Butler is going for me on the question of prize money, and if he confines himself to that subject 1 will probably not iuterfero with him. But he must not accuse me of running away when there was any fighting going on. I do not come from that kind of stock. So far as any further statements from me are concerned I shall not probably make any more, sinco I consider that I have pretty well refuted the allegations of General Butler." Talk of a Man Who Was with FarraguL Philadelphia Press. General Butler's charge that Admiral Porter ran away from the gTeat naval battle which resulted in the taking of New Orleans has caused considerable talk among the veterans of tho war in this city. Harbor Master Charles Lawrence, who was with Farragut when he ran by the forts and captured New Orleans, is very much interested in the controversy. 'Of course," said he last night, when asked by a Press reporter to tell what ho knew of tho Butler-Porter episode, "I was so far up tho river that 1 could not 6ee Captain Porter's fleet. I cannot say, from my own knowledge, that he got frightened and ran away. You see, it was this way. Porter was in command of tho mortar flotilla, which was composed of one or two small gunboats and a number of sailing-vessels. Ho had beein bombarding Forts Jackson and St. Philip for two or three days before Farragut started to pss the forts. Farragnt's squadron was divided into threa divisons when it started tin tho river. I was on the Pensacola, which was in the second division, and that division headed the squadron. We left Porter down behiud a bend in the river when we started for the forts. After we got into action I didn't see or think anything more about Porter. It was a very hot fight. We had to contend not only against the land forces, but a number of rebel rams, and every now and then a burning raft. I remember wo ran one of the rebel rams, the Louisiana, ashore just below Fort St. Philip. She was abandoned by the crew immediately. The next morning, while we were anchored up above the forts, the ram Louisiana, got afloat and drifted down the river." "And is that what frightened Admiral Porter!'' "Well. I recollect hearing at the time that the ram caused great consternation down the river when she was seen coming around the bend. To be sure, this ram could have sunk every boat Porter had, and as he had no means of knowing that she had been deserted it was quite natural that he should be alarmed. As to this running away. General Butler is a more competent witness than 1 am. He was down there with Porter and could see everythiug he did. Butler talks very plainly, and he certainly knows what ho is talking about. There's one thing I would like to say about Porter at this time. He led everybody to believe in the article he wrote for the Century about the battle of New Orleans, that he was entitled to all the credit for winning that tight. I was very much incensed when I read that. He said he had conceived the plan of running past the forts, had persuaded the department to adopt his plans, and had recommended that Admiral 1 arragnt be placed in command. Now, mind you, he says this after Admiral Farragut, Edwin M. Stanton. General McClellau and President Lincoln are dead. They are the only people who could refute his claim to credit. Yett in the face of this article of his, I see he said the other day in an interview that Admiral Farragut was entitled to all the credit for capturing Now Orleans." Southern Flea for a Grand Army Fost. Charlkstox, S.C.,May7. Therearequite a number of Union veterans in Charleston who have applied for a charter for the organization ot a post of tho Grand Army of tho Republic here. One of the veterans said to-day: "We do not want carpet-baggers. We are South Carolinians now. having earned the title by living here lor twenty years. We simply desire, as all true Cai-olinians do, to keep up pleasant menories of the past, and our devotion to the Union The war is over in fact, has been over for nearly a quarter of a century, and there is no animosity in anv true soldier's heart, confederate or federal. The flag of our country is the flag of all of us, and we all proposo to 6tand by it federals aud confederates." Tretty Girl Convicted of norse-SteaIln. Kansas City. Mo., May 7. Clara Graham, a beautiful girl of eighteen years, was convicted in tho Criminal Court here yesterday of horse-stealing. When placed on the stand she confessed that, on reb. 13. while out of work, she hired a horse and buggy, and started out for a drive. While

out, she met Frank McCov on horseback, and he joined and proposed an elopement, she to go to St. Joseph. 'She went, and when he did not come, drove to Horton, Kan., and. being out of money, she sold the horse and buggy. The jury found her guilty, and gave her two years. She is the ouiy woman ever convicted in Missouri of horse-stealing. DR. CROXLVS DISAPPEARANCE.

Mr. and Mrs.Conklin Make Sensational Statements, and Bint that He Was Murdered. Chicago, May 7. Thero is nothing particularly new in tho Dr. Cronin mystery. The Doctor is still unaccounted for. Mr. and Mrs. Conklin, with whom the Doctor lived, are still very much disturbed about the aft'air. A reporter found them to-day to be more excited than yesterday. When he entered the room, Mrs Conklin was talking incoherently. At last she stopped in front of the reporter and said rather fiercely, and with compressed lips: "Wo know that Dr. Cronin was murdered." "That is a pretty broad statement," said the reporter. 1 know it is, and I comprehend the gravity of it. but when I say it, I mean all the words Imply. We know that Dr. Croniu was murdered, for we have received positive information to that eflect." Mr. Conklin then said: "All my wife has said is true. We have the information, and have it from a reliable source. If you know as much as I do about the inside workings of the plots of the gang against the Doctor's life vou would bo bewildered and astounded. We are on the track of the villains, and I have hired detectives to hunt down the clews I am in possession of. There is going to be a big surprise ." He was cut short at this point by his wife, by an admonition to the effect that too much had already been said, and efforts to secure further statements about tho matter were fruitless. To-night, after denying the truth of the abovo interview, Mr.'Conklin proceeded to make a statement hardly less sensational than the assertions just denied. Said ho: "Dr. Cronin had papers by means of which, at the coming convention of the IrishLeague in Philadelphia, he proposed to vindicate himself from, and implicate others, in frauds. I do not know the exact contents f these papers. Ho intrusted them to my care with instructions that they be turned over to certain of his friends in the event of his being murdered or made away with. I have turned over the papers as he directed." Conklin refused to say who the papers were given to. THE FIRE RECORD. Fifteen Valuable Homes Burned, Entailing a Lom of Over Fifty Thousand Dollars.

Brannon, of Mpntpelier, O., and J. Rose, of Bay City, Mich., owner and driver of the bay mare Forman Girl, alias Belle Stail, who were suspended for performing out of classes under an assumed name. In December, 1888. R. E. Crist, of Hamilton, Mo., was expelled for fraudulent entry of his bay gelding, John L., alias Deacon Morrill, for running the same out of class. He made application for reinstatement. Perry Johnson, cf Colorado Springs, Col., made a similiar request. He is the owner of the bay gelding, McFadden, which horse ho entered and paced out of class in the Iowa circuit, for which he was expelled. The last case of the day was a protest on record made by the association in the matter of W. P. Path, of Bucklin, Kan., and his black horse, Gen. Garfield. About twenty xhjuox case will be taken up by the board to-morrow. - An Ohio Town Almost Destroyed. Ij'iNDilAY, O., May 7. At midnight last night fife broke out in A. Phillips's meatshop in Beaver Dam, a small village twenty milea west of this city, and before tho flames could be subdued almost the entire business portion of the town was reduced to ashes. The late hour found the inhabitants all abed, and the scene following the discovery of the fire was (indescribable. Women and children, who only had time to escape in their night clothes, and for whom no snelter could be found, presented a pitiable sight. Lima, nine miles west, was called on for assistance, and a portion of the fire department immediately responded by a special train on the Lake j3rie tfc Western railroad. While they arrived in time to do effective work, the scarcity of water preclnded any possibility of savin g anything.' The losses will aggregate $S0,000; insurance, $14,000. Other Fires. HUDSON. Mich., May 7. Thirty stores and dwellings in the little village of Waldron, ten miles southwest . of this place, on the Mackinaw railroad, were destroyed by lire yesterday. The entire business portion of the village was swept away. The fire originated in a stable, and a valuable stallion was burned to death. The losses aggregated over $60,000; partially insured. Cleveland, O., May 7. Miller Hall, ono of the buildings of Kenyon Military Academy, at Gambier, O., burned this morning. Loss, $.lX),0U0; insurance, 12,000. Greenfield. 111., May 7. An incendiary fire here, yesterday, destroyed six business buildings and contents, entailing a loss of $50,000; partially insured. Fatal Klevator Test. PnoviDKXCE, R. I., May 7. A large crowd assembled in the new Schwartz building to witness tho test of a passenger elevator built by S. S. Grover & Co., of Rochester. The superintendent of construction, A. C. Cornell, was to cut the elevator loose and let it fall the whole five stories, a distance of sixty-five feet, to an air-tight brick vault at the bottom. To show the entire safety of such a fall, a basket of eggs and a glass of water were to go down, too. Mr. Cornell, with Mr. Jones, were accompanied by Jacob Kosenfeldt, a reporter. The elevator went down with awful velocity. When tho door was opened the three men were found lying on the bottom of the car, insensible, with their heads badly cut. Their injuries may prove fatal, as all su tiered severe spinal shocks, the seriousness of which is not yet determined. Mr. Jones was tho most severely hurt, and will probably die. The reporter seems to have Buttered the least. Jones died at 4 P. M.. of a broken back. The others will survive. m Shower of Fros In Dakota Jamestown, D. T., May 7. About C o'clock last night a peculiar circumstance was noticed by a number of people. A small black cloud, hanging rather low, was noticed to move rather queerly, when suddenly the cloud was lost eight of and a precipitation of frogs was seen. There were several hundred of them, and they could be seen hopping upon the street a block away. A number of dogs were promptly on hand and made it lively for the hoppers. It is claimed that a funnel-shaped cloud, indicating a cyclone, was seen in the west shortly before, and the theory of some is that the frogs were caught up from so?iie slough on this whirlwind, and carried in the air until it spent itself, which hapEened to be over the center of tho principal usiness streets. Terrible Itunawaj Accident. Jacksonville, Fla., May 7. At Lawley, Fin., to-day. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Churchill, of Iowa, and Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

Special to St. Lotus Globe-Demo craL Oscar F. Chappell, a well-to-do and highly respected planter, of Richmond county, was an eye-witness of Gen. Roger A. Fryer's chance of base from the confederate to the federal lines before Petersburg, and in a communication, which will appear in a local newspaper to-morrow morning, he expresses belief, and gives reasons therefor, that Gen. Pryor deliberately deserted, and was not, as the General himself claims, taken ott his guard and made a prisoner. Mr. Chappell says: I occupied the rifle pit that Gen. Pryor rode up to and left from, and will give you the way in which he deserted. I was on duty as a skirmisher on the line of rifle nits around Petersburg, some time in the tail of the year 1864. An officer rode up to my pit and stopped, took out his spy-glass and looked toward the Yankee pits, which were close and in full view. I will here state that desertion was very frequent from our line, and all exchange of tobacco and other things was stopped. The officer dismounted in a minute or two and said o me: " 'I am anxious to get a Yankee paper will go out half way and exchange.' "I told him he could not go nnless he got permission from the officer in command of the skirmish line. "'Oh,' he said, I am General Pryor; it'i all right. Hold my glasses a few minutes.1 throwing me olf my guard. . "He walked past and in the direction of the Yankee pit, directly in front of me, which was in full view with the naked eye. I used the glasses that Pryor gave mo to iiold, and watched him, saw a Yankee officer with two soldiers standing at the side of their rifle-pit, watching l'ryor coming toward them. After Pryor had got fully half way, the Yankee officer started to meet him slowly, while Pryor was walking fast. They met a short distance from the Yankee pit and shook hands. Prvor never brofee his gait. Taking the Yankee officer's arm. he walked through the skirmish line, without stopping, to the breastworks, which also were in fall view with tho naked eye, 1 watching them with Pryor's spy-glass. After getting inside the breastworks the nsual huzzah that accompanied the arrival of a deserter was distinctly heard. I was, and am yet, familiar with the movement of well-meant soldiers meeting to exchange coflec and tobacco; there was always some caution used, and always a half-way ground. There was no force used to get Pryor into the Yankee lines. He was in a bigger hurry to cet there than the Yankee officer was. Pryor had a haversack full of newspapers. 1 turned the horse over to the officer in command of Wilcox's skirmishers and told him about Pryor deliberately deserting in broad, open daylight. He said it could not have been General Pryor, but it was. I now live in Richmond county, South Carolina, and went to the army with Company F, Twelfth South Carolina Reciment. Afterward my officers sentme toMcGowan's sharpshooters, where I served till tho end of the war." Mr. Chappell's postoffice address is Hookman, . C. He has made oath to the truth of the foregoing statement. Living Abroad. Paris letter. 13ut after all, the chief economy of living abroad is the 'doing without," which one learns with amazing rapidit3', if not ea9e. There is much to help one in the fact that Mrs. Grundy fades out of existence for people amongunthinking, uncriticising strangers no one feels obliged to do as Lis neighbor does. Then there is ko much to see, to hear, to enjoy and enliven the dairy routine that one grasps with vigor the beauty of the Kmersoniau plain living and high thinking and becomes more and more inditlerent to the mere comforts of life. The luxuries are all around one; the bric-a-brac, the draperies, the artistic nothings which make up the impedimenta of civilization, but which the modern woman craves, are just within reach. A little saviug here, a tiny pinch there, will enable oue to get them, and this knowledge helps one to do without the minor luxuries of butter and
