Eieclal to tlie Indianapolis J JurnaL Washington. Sept. 0. The Indianapolis club fell an easy victim to the Washingtons to-day. -who. much improved by their recent practice ith Chicago, were in good form, aud played, perhans. their best gamo -with the visitors. Boyle, who has dono each good work lately, had no terror for the local elaggers, while Krock, the dis-' carded pitcher of Chicago, and later of the Hoosier teams, was fairly effective. The game, however, was not a pitcher's battle. and was won by safe hitting at the right time. At the start the exhibition promised to be a repetition of what nearly all games between the two clubs havo been, and after the second inning, when the visitors scored, the gloom which settled over the spectators became noticeable. But this state of affairs did not last long, becanso the game was practically won in the next inning, in this manner: Krock, the first batter, placed the ball over Glasscock's head, and moved a point when John Irwin was given a base on balls. Hoy's sacrifice - to Denny placed the runners a peg nearer home, and both scored on Wilmot's single to center. Beecher hit to left, andWilmot was safe at third. The former stole a base and scored on Wise's home-run hit over tho right-field fence. Irwin was out, from Glasscock to Hines, and although Mack and Daly hit safely, the side was retired without more runs on Krock's fly to Dnny. As a clincher, the Senators added two inoro to their score in the second. J.Irwin led oil with a single to center. Hoy batted a very difficult low liy to Glasscock, which the latter could not handle cleanly, and both scored on Wilmot's single. Beecher went out to Denny, and Wilmot was caught in attempting to steal second. Wise hit safely, but was left on A. Irwin's out at first. Very little interest was taken in tho game during the next two innings, althonsrh the Hoosiers added one to their meager score in the fifth on Bassett's two-bagger and two sacrifice hits, but in the seventh considerable excitement was caused by the almost successful efforts of the ludiauians to tie the score. Buckley placed the ball in center field for a has, and on J. Irwin's error of McGeachy's hit. moved to second base. B&ssett cleared the bases on a two-bagger to right, and scored on Andrews's single. Washington added one in both the eighth and ninth. Indian. ipolis also secured a run in the last inning on McGeachy's hit to short, which that player turned into a hit by beating the ball to first. Ho scored on Bassett'a fourth hit of the game and Seery's double, liassett in the meantime having been forced out at second by Boyle. The only feature of the visitors' playing was the batting of liassett, who is credited with two doubles and two singles out of four times at the bat. Score: WASHING'!. IXVl'S'P'L.lS o J.

They can probably give you the information you desire. Probably the most ardent devotees of base-ball in Wilmington are the daughters of ex-Secretary Bayard. They attend nearly every game and freely applaud the good plays on both sides. Philadelphia paper: It is hard to explain" the Indianapolis club's low standing. No team in the League has a better infield than Denny, Glasscock, Bassett and Hines, and Seery. Andrews and McGeachy are as fast outfielders as can be found. All of the lot are extremely good hitters. Toronto has a player who is a crack longdistance thrower, and his name is Vickery. In a trial for a medal for long throwing, recently, after Brodie. of the Toronto team, had thrown tho ball 123 yards (3S4 feet). Vickery, without any practice, picked up the ball and on his first trial threw it feet. With practice he would soon, reach Hatfield's record. W. L. Thornton.

Opening of the Daltlmore Exposition Races at the Fimllco Track. Baltimore, Sept. 9. The first day's races at Pimlico did not draw nearly so large a crowd as had been anticipated. This was perhaps due to the fact that the parade in the city completely blocked all the public routes to the grounds. The principal race on to-day's programme was the 2:27 class, for which Geo. A. Singorly's Katherine S. had been entered. The Philadelphia mare did not start, however, and in her absence the honors as favorite fell to Budd Doble'a Reina. The track was in prime condition, and every heat was trotted in remarkably fast time.

The senatorial dressed-beef committee began" its inquiry here this morning.' Ex-Governor Glick, of Kansas, and Charles Barst, an Atchison butcher, were the only witnesses examined in the morning. Both testified to their belief that a combination of packers controlled the live-stock market at Kansas City as well as at Chicago, and that both worked in harmony. They brought forth no positive facts, however, and merely gave that as their impression. In the afternoon, John J. Hoe, J. Matthew Spann, J. Eichard Thomas, Abiel Leonard and W. L. Leonard, all stock-feeders, of Saline county, Missouri, who sell their cattle in Chicago, testified that the prices of cattle had fallen so low that there was no longer any profit in the business. This, they claimed, was due to tho "Big Four" combination of packers at Chicago, who controlled the market. There was no competition whatever among buyers at Chicago, and more than one or two bidders con la never be found on the mar ket. Ihe Kansas City market was praci.ii v 11.. .!. .u..u .nVLti.SV; James Ha a p. of Kansas City, was the next witness. "I am a scalper," he said; "dagos, the packers call ua." He operated on the Kansas City market. He knew that Armonr, Swift and the others had formed a combination to control the prices of cattle. He told how he had been used by them. They had warned him not to bar too many cattle. He had not heeded the warning. The next bunch of cattle he had bought ho had been forced to sell at a loss of $300. The combine wanted to know if he had had enough. He told them that be thought he had. Since then he bad done business on a small scale, and had not been Interfered with by the packers. A. J. Morris, of the packing firm of Morris, Butts & Co., was next sworn. His testimonv was ziven very reluctantly, and his answers were given only after deep and long consideration. Several times Senator Vest was obliged to nut on the thumb screw to call forth any response to eome of his questions. He asserted that the dressed-beef business was going to the dogs quite as fast as the cattle business. I here was too much competition in it, None of the packers were making money. Senator Vest contradicted this statement with a clipping from a Chicago paper in which the reporter showed that the profit on each head of cattle handled by a packer netted him a profit of $12. Mr. Morris sneered at the statement. There was nothing like that amount of profit in the packing busi ness now. 1 he reporter did not know what lie was talking about. "We're losing money." he said. "What makes you stay in the business then!" asked Mr. Vest, "Pride and the hope of better times." "Are not the packers attempting to drive slaughtering butchers out 01 tho businesi" inquired Mr. Plumb. ine witness replied reluctantly, but was at last forced to admit tnat his customers had received threatening letters from one of tho packersn the "combine." The wit ness had seeff tho letters, but he did not have them with him at the time. 1 he wit ness's firm was not in the combination. They themselves had received threatening letters, but they aid not frighten them at all. The witness had personal knowledge of a combination between Armour, Switt,' Morris and Hammond, by which the territory east of the Mississippi was divided between them in such a manner that neither would encroach on the territory of the others. The prices of dressed meats were fixed, he thought, by the individual firms, each in his own territory. The committee was then adjourned until to-morrow. The investigation will continue hero until the end of the week. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Local Forecasts. For Indianapolis and Vicinity For the twenty-four hours ending at 8 p.

LAI CLAIM TO LOGANSPORT.

Heirs of a Eunaway Slave Alleged to Be the Rightful Owners of an Indiana Gitj. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. An event has just come to light which verifies the old adage, that "Truth is stranger than fiction." Though the story may seem almost incredible, yet there are facts to substantiate its truthfulness. A colored family in Indiana have fallen heir to an estate, the value of which is estimated to be several million dollars. The property for which they have a clear title, is situated right in the center of the city of Logansport, Ind., and is said to cover an area of over a square mile. Some fifty-three years ago Benjamin Talbott, a colored man, left Yellow Springs, Ky., with 'Squire McBane and his family, as they had planned to make a settlement at some point in Indiana. The country at that time was a wild wilderness, and the entire journey was made in a covered wagon. It took them &eyeral weeks to reach the place, where they finally bought land at a government sale and built their log cabins on the identical spot where the flourishing citv of Logansport is now situated. Talbott was "bound out" by his master nntil he was of age, and during that period he learned the trade of a blacksmith. VVhen the time of his service expired he de cided to embrace the opportunity ana emigrate to some Northern State where he would be free from the shackles of slavery. 'Squire McBane aided him in his flight, and when Indiana was reached he lent him assistance in providing for himself a home. In the coarse of a few years Talbott had secured possession of some six hundred acres of land, which at that time was covered with dense woods. He reared a family of seven children and occupied the land for more than twenty years. In 1857 the fugitive slave law was passed, and, fearing that he might be taken back again into bondage, he left his worldly possessions and fled with his family into Canada, as did many other colored people who were at the time in Northern States. He remained across the border nntil thelEmaucipation Proclamation afforded him an opportunity to return unmolested to the States. He was still afraid to venture back to his home in Indiana, and for several years he was located at Detroit, but later removed to Toledo, where he died some seventeen years ago. His family, which hail been reduced to six children (four boys and two girls), soon became separated, out two of the sons located at Rochester, Ind. The children knew that their father had owned property in Indiana, as he had often told them of his experience and the manner in which he had secured possession of the land, but still they never dreamed that it could be recovered in any way. David Talbott was one of the family who made his home at Rochester, and his wife frequently made visits to this city, where she had reitives and friends. While returning to her home from one of her trips to Cincinnati, she by the merest accident met a colored minister who had known her father-in-law intimately when he lived at Logansport He couveyed to her the information that the land which Talbott had purchased more than a half century ago was now in the center of a flourishing town, and also intersected by various lines of railroads. She was advised by her newly-found friend to notify her husband of this astonishing fact, and it was further suggested by him that they institute proceedings to establish their claim to that which was undoubtedly their own. Mrs. Talbott acted promptly on this advice, and the result was the employment of Congressman Hill, of Defiance, O., and Mr. Holland, an attorney of Paulding, O., to take charge of the matter. These gentlemen went quietly to Logansport aud instituted a thorough examination of the records. The resnlt exceeded their most sanguine expectation. The fact was readily developed that the Talbott heirs were tho legal owners of the property. The Wa bash . and the Eel liiver Tailroads cross the property, which is also occupied by their buildings and numerous side-tracks. These compa nies were the first to bo informed of the de velopments that had been made by the 1 a. ! a? a i m li x , ; mi investigation oi tub laioon claims, xue legal advisers for the two companies went over the records with the attorneys for thj Talbott estate, and proofs of the claim were Xouna to be indisputable, ibis resulted in a compromise, by which the Talbott heira were to receive $5,000,000 from the two railroad companies alone, exclusive of other property, the total value of which has not been determined. This settlement is to be made on Sept. 15, by mutual agreement. The whereabouts of all the members of the scattered family have been discovered with the exception of one, Henry, the oldest son, and for whom a diligent search has been instituted. For a number of years it is known that he- was located in Cincinnati, and on last Thursday one of the daughters, Mrs. Lncinda Lanthan, came to this city, accompanied by her husband, to learn, if possible, something of hi whereabouts. She has been stopping with a Mr. Howard Black, at No. 245 Plum street. A Commercial Gazette reporter called npon her last night. She was neatly dressed and is a colored woman of nnusual intelligence. At first she manifested some reluctance in sneaking of the matter, but was finally induced to detail the story of the hunt for the missing brother, and also related the incidents relative to the history of the property and its recovery. She said that they nad Jbeen making a long hunt for her brother, but that she was afraid that he was dead. On Saturday she learned that there was a colored man at the city infirmary by the name of Talbott, but an investigation yesterday proved that he was not the one sought for. Last night she received information that he had gone to Danville, Ky three or four years ago. It lias been more than fourteen years since she has seen the missiufr brother.- "It is very important that we. should find him," she said, ''for if he is not on hand when the settlement is made he may experience some trouble in securing hisshare of the money." "How much do you expect to realize from the claim!" "The attorneys have told us that we would each get about 6700.000. Uo Baidwe couldnH spend the interest on the money in a year, no matter how extravagant we might be." "How does it come that the matter has never been made publicfi "Onr lawyers wanted the matter to be kept a secret until everything had been properly adjusted." "You have been furnished money to hunt yonr brother, have youT" "I haven't experienced any trouble on that score. All concerned in the case are anxious that he shonld be found. My brother Henry is forty-seven years of age, and is tho second oldest child in the family, luy sister being his senior by some three years. He is the only one of the children who has never been married." The Story "Without Foundation. Special to the Indnapolls Journal. Logansport, Ind., Sept, 9.
