InJfana polls and Milwaukee will wind up tl.e season here to-day, after which baseball will be a thing of the past for six months at least. Baker will likely pitch again for the visitors, while Pepper will probably be in the box for the home team. The game will be called at 3:30 and ladies will be admitted free. The Indianapolis team's chances for passing Grand Rapids are now very slim, yesterday's defeat at Milwaukee practically Fettling the matter. 13y winning to-day Indianapolis will take the series from Cushman's men. having won nine of the seventeen games played. Minneapolis, Grand Rapids and Indianapolis finish the race In a, bunch, there belnsr but a few points difference in their percentages. CITY NEWS NOTES. Mrs. C. C. Hull, of Louisville.

Half Blile of Pacific Coast Company's Docks with Elevator, Vessel and Merchandise Destroyed. PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 23. The most disastrous fire in the history of this city broke out at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon in the dock of the Taclfic Coast Elevator Company and raged for three hours, destroying property valued at nearly $1,500,000. All day long a heavy wind has been blowing, and nine alarms have been turned in. The fire department was scattered about the city, looking after the small fires, when the alarm from the elevator came. The scene of the fire Is across the river from the main part of the city, and it was at least fifteen minutes before more than one engine could respond to the general alarm. When the engines arrived the fire was beyond control, and in a half hour from the time It started the docks for a half mile were on fire. Nothing could be done but let the fire burn itself out. The fire started In the dock below the Taciflc Coast Elevator Company's main building, and the wind soon drove the flames to the elevator itself. The flames shot Into the air two hundred feet. The coal bunkers of the North Pacific Terminal Company were next attacked, and soon were a seething mass of flames. On the east was the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company's wharf, 400 feet in length, and this, too, was soon on fire. There was no means of getting water on the fire except from the river, and the fire-boat is an improvised old scow and of very little service. The elevator contained nearly half a million bushels of wheat. The new plant ot the , Portland General Electric Company, which had Just arrived from Lynn, Mass., was standing in the yards of the Terminal Company, on the cars, not having been unloaded. The plant occupied an entire train and the machinery was of the most expensive kind. Most of It was destroyed and the remainder badly damaged. Two hundred freight cars, edghty of which were loaded, were destroyed. The Oregon Railway and Navigation docks held 1,500 tons of freight, consisting of wool, saimon, general merchandise and cement, all of which was destroyed with the dock. There were stored on the dock about 12,000 cases of salmon from the lower Columbia river and Puget sound, awaiting shipment for the East. It was valued at about $40,000 and was partly Insured. . Every available locomotive at the terminal works was set to work moving freight care out of danger, but the fire burned so rapidly that all could not be moved away. Sparks from the fire went across the river and set fire to the boneyard, but It was extinguished before any serious damage to the yard was done. The largo steamboat, the Willamette Chief, moored at the yard, took fire and was burned. She wo$ used as a tow boat and was valued at about $43,000. Three men are supposed to have perished in the elevator, Charles Anderson, a man named Brown and one named Murray, were seen at an upper story window of the elevator and it 13 thought they were all burned. The looses, as near as can be ascertained, at this time, are as follows: North Pacific Elevator Company, $500,000; Portliind General Electric Company, machinery, $30,000; coal bunkers of the North Pacific Terminal Company, $40,000; Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, on dock, . freight cars and steamer Willamette Chief. $230,000; merchandise on docks, $200,000. The insurance carried will reach more than $300,000. The Liverpool nnd London and Globe Insurance Company lias a large share or this. . 50,000 Cusen of Oil Burning. BROOKLYN, N. Y. S?pt. 23. -Shortly before midnight to-night the Iron ship Glenesslln, lying at Watson's stores, Brooklyn, with 50,000 cases of kerosene oil on board. was discovered on fire. The watchman saw smoke issuing from the hatchway and aroused Mate Bernard Henson. An in vestigation showed that the oil in the hold was on lire, and within a short time the entire inside of the vessel was In llames. It is thought that it will be a total loss. The GUnesslin is commanded by Capt. P. T. Pritchard, who Is new in Philadelphia. She is owned by J. R. De Wolf & Co., of Liverpool. She arrived from Calcutta Auir. 19, and is consigned by W. R. Grace Ac Co., of New York, to Hong Kong. Fifty thou sand cases of kerosene of the 73,000 which was to constitut? her cargo has been already put on board. Erie Opera House Burned. ERIE, Pa., Sept. 23. The Park Opera House was destroyed by fire this afternoon. Shortly after the flames were discovered the rear wall of the stage collapsed, threat ening two hundred people in that viclnltv. Fortunately they: escaped with the excep tion or a lew truise3 in a number of In stances. The opera house was valued at $75,000, insurance. $28,500. The fire is at tributed to Incendiaries. ANOTHER KENTUCKY COLONEL. Otis S. Gaire Sued for $100,000 by an Abased Ilusbaud. NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The World will to-morrow say: Otis S. Gage, formerly of Louisville, Ky., but now living In this city, Is defendant In a suit to recover $100,000 damages for alienating the affections of Mrs. Cecil Flora McNeill. The plaintiff is George E. McNeill, who is a conductor on the New York & New Haven railroad. Mr. McNeill Is also a railroad evangelist and is studying for the ministry. McNeill married Cecil Flora Courtwrlght, of Os wego, Tioga county, eleven years ago. She was pretty, a uraduate of Cornell Uni versity and her parents were wealthy. Mr. McNeill afterwords settled In New York, where he met Colonel Gag, and a strong. inendsnip grew up Deiween me iveniucKian and Mr. McNeill, with the result that the Colonel finally became a member of the McNeill household. Out of these relations crew a suit begun six weeks ago in the Court of Common Pleus by McNeill against Colonel Gage for Jluo.WO ior alienating his wife's affections. At tne same time .McNeill sued his wife for absolute divorce, naminir Colonel Gage as corespondent. Col.

TAMMANY IS AT SEA

IMMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHO WILL I1C X03HXATED IX SEW YORK. Hill Says He Will Not Be a Candidate and It Is Pretty Certain that He Sloans What He Says. SARATOGA. N. Y., Sept. 23.-A situa tion more strange than any that has yet confronted the Democratic party, and the like of which has never been seen ty any of the assembled party leaders, h. presented here to-night within thirty-six hours of the time set for the nomination of a candidate for the office of Governor of the State of New York. No selection of a candidate has yet been made, and, while one name Is prominently mentioned here to night, no one person can be said to have any thing like a mortgage on the nomination. One week ago to-day the ticket nominated by the Republican party was printed with a show of confidence that later was verified. To-night nothing can be indulged but spec ulation. It is true that Judge Gaynor's name Is on every lip, but when it Is known that the delegates here numoer les9 than twenty-five it Is easy to see that events of to-morrow may change the whole current. . So far there are four candidates mentioned for Governor: Judge Gaynor, of Brooklyn; John Boyd Thatcher, of Albany; Frederick F. Cook, of Rochester, and Senator David B. Hill. Daniel S. Lockwood, of Buffalo, was mentioned, but it is said by those who know to-day that he is practically out of the race and that Mr. Sheehan'a support, which may dominate Erie, will be thrown towards Frederick Cook. Every effort will be made, however, to induce Mr. Coo to accept the second place on the ticket In case either Judge Gaynor or Senator Hill be the nominee. As to Mr. Hill as a candi date Lieutenant Governor Sheehan said to day: "I conversed with Senator Hill on the matter, Saturday afternoon before leaving Albany for Saratoga. He not only said that he would not be a candidate, but insisted that I. should not broach the subject to him any more, and hoped that no further mention of it would be made." Notwithstanding the assertion of Mr. Shee han there are some people here to-night who profess to believe that feenator Hill may yet be Induced to accept. With this feeling prevailing Tammany, at its meeting to-morrow, will, at the suggestion of Sen ator Canter, send a committee to wait on the Senator and try to prevail on him to be a candidate. "Would Mr. Hill make a cood candidate?" was asked of Charles S. Fairchild this aft ernoon. T must decline to answer that Question," fud Mr. Fairchild. "I am not here In the interest of any candidate, but simply to see that all Democrats have a representation in the convention." Mr. Shepard. who represents the same faction In Kings county as Mr. Fairchild represents In New York, was asked if there were anything new in their contest. He said: "Nothing except what the press had last night. We ahall appear before the committee on credentials and asic that our whole delegation be seated. So far as nom inations are concerned we are for Judge Giyncr." For Lieutenant Governor there are three names mentioned to-night, Frederick Cook, Df Rochester: John J.

TIID ATMOSPHERE OF MARS. Evidence of Its Existence Questions as to Its Depths. New York Tribune. The announcement by Professor Campbell,of the Lick observatory, that hl3 spectroscope iq studies of Mars Indicate that the planet has scarcely any atmosphere naturally raises the Question, what evidence has been found heretofore that there is any air there at all? In the first place, after it became certain that some of the configurations of Mars were not mere shifting cloud-forms, but were permanent, and hence geographical, it was perceived that these features were more distinctly perceptible near the- center of the disc than at its edge. A slleht crravish or bluish obscuration seemed to haunt the iorJers much of the time. Secondly. faint local areas of cloudiness are seen at times, which temporarily impair the sharpness with which continental outlines are perceived. Thirdly, while no slgns of violent storms have been noticed, the extension of the polar caps (supposed to be of Ice) which melt away to almost nothing in- summer, suggest tne probability that evaporation, transportation, of water vapor from place to place, and precipitation in tne rorm or snow are common occurrences. All of these phenomena have been taken to mean that Mars has an atmosphere of some sort, behaving much like that of ithe earth. It was not until 1SC2 that Rutherfurd. Huggins and others began, to examine the various planets with a spectroscope. It was then discovered that Mars did not shine by any light of Its own, -but merely refiected solar rays. But tha appearance of "absorption bands" in the spectrum of the planet which did not appear in the solar spectrum indicates that the light passed through some medium around that ort which abstracted certain rays. Some of these absorption lines were identified as corresponding to those produced by our own atmosphere in the solar spectrum, but others were peculiar to Mars, for If the instrument were directed to the moon at the same time, the lines last mentioned would be missing. In. 1867 Secchi. the em inent Italian astronomer, reported on the result of his spectroscopic researches, that the characteristic atmosphere lines in the spectrum of Mars came out more strongly wnen the edge or tne planet was exam ined than from the center. He believed. however, that the air there was limited and rarefied, ogel, in Germany, In 1872, made observations confirming those of Hug. gins and Seechl, especially as to the pres ence or water vapor in tne Martian atmos phere. Professor Campbell's observations are somewhat at variance with those of Hutrglns and Secclri: for he does not find anv lines in the spectrum of Mars that cannot be seen also in that or the moon, which is supposed to be devoid of air, and he per ceives no greater intensity when examining the edre than at the center of the disc of Mars But astronomical spectroscopy was only in its infancy thirty years ago. and the latest spectroscope secured by the Lick Observatory is a magnmcent instrument. much superior to those used by Hugeins and Secchi in 1517. Moreover, Professor Campbell Is a skillful worker In this particular field. His verdict, therefore. If not con-" elusive. Is entitled to great confidence. Another set of facts have a bearing on the question. Mars Is a smaller body than the earth, and. according to the nebular hypothesis, was formed earlier. Hence it ought to have radiated out into space much more of its original neat than the earth. Again, it Is further from the sun than we are. in about the proportion of 132 to 100. and derives warmth from the central orb of our system in the ration of 1(X to 231, as compared with he earth. Yet the growth and diminution of its polar caps betrays a climate very much like that on the earth, possibly milder. Almost the only explanation of this surprising fact that has been received with favor Is that the atmospheric cloak of the planet is warmer than ours, and checks radiation more effectually. To be sure, the material which forms tho?e caps may not be ice. but some substance which passes from the liquid to the solid state at a much lower temperature. We have reason to believe, however, that there Is water vapor in the atmosphere Of Mars; and find it hard to reject the notion that it

is this, condensed into Ice, which makes

those transitory white patches near tne termini of the planet's axis. If this supposition be correct. It is not necessary that the depth of that atmosphere be great. Its con stitution may be different. It can hardly contain more moisture than ours; for Mars exhibits much less cloudiness than the earth. But vapor3 of an entirely different kind may, perhaps, perform the ofiice of a blanket still more effectually. Professor Campbell Infers from tre scan tiness of the Martian atmosphere that human life cannot exist on the planet in question. The probabilites certainly do seem to point that way. The utter lack of real evi dence forbids reasoning people to believe that Mars is Inhabited by intelligent creatures. Nevertheless, one may honestly doubt whether a rarified atmosphere entirels precludes the existence of animal life. If there be more oxygen proportion ately, or if some other animating element enter into the composition of the air. the difficulty might be removed. The latter loophole is an exceedingly small one, but logically, it must be recognized. TROLLEY PARTIES. How Younff Philadelphians Find Enter tainment for Their Best Girls. New York World. The trolley party is the latest fad In Philadelphia. It came to be the fad almost immediately after the Introduction of the trolley on the uptown streets, and it has grown to be so general a craze that the railway companies are pushed to supply the demands. The trolley party was ex clusive when It started, but now it has been taken up all over the town and the fashionable set in Philadelphia have largely surrendered their amusement to the bigger and more democratic crowd, which Imitates whatever the fashionable set Initiates. The trolley party is cheap and noisy and gives plenty of opportunity for fun. It needs no preparation. The only require ments is a trolley car, a lot of c igenlal young people, a brass band, barrel organ or mouth organ and a general disposition to see fun in everything. The Philadelphia young men and women have gradually de veloped the trolley party until to-day a properly conducted one calls for a sapper at the end of the ride and a collection of fireworks, more or less brilliant, as the resources of the party permit. The expenses of such a party seldom exceeds a dollar a head. Fifty cents a head Is more common, and for this amount a great deal of en joyment Is had. Germantown, which lies about seven miles from the city's center, is a pretty place in which many of Philadelphia's rich men have houses. It was there the trolley party originated. When the People's Traction Company completed its line out Fourth street and Germantown avenue there was a great rush to try the new form of transportation. The cars were crowded for several nights so that stand ing room was at a premium. Some of those who rode on the cars found It such a novelty that they made up par ties to take the ride from one end or the line to the other and return. Then, to make more of a lark of it, they chartered cars for their exclusive use. In two days the trolley party was a well-established in stitution, irt another It became a fad. To-day, though there are eighty open cars running continuously on this system, it is with difficulty that the trolley parties are supplied with, cars without regular traffic having to suffer. A few evenings ago fifty parties were out at once. Thursday night seventy-five par ties, occupying a total or thirty-two cars, were made up and spent ihe eveninar rid ing from Germantown to the southern ter minus of the lino and back again. A number of those who applied for cars hud to be refused for lack of accommodation. The trolley party always occurs at nigat. Then the cars are brilliantly lighted with electricity and may be run at a faster rate than, in the daytime, as travel cf other kinds is practically at a standstill after 6 o'clock. The cars are charrer3d for J10 apiece for the round trip. Tha contiact reacts: car chartered to arty patiHigtrs and no one allowed io stand on the boards or to blow horns." This enables every one to have a seat and does away with tte danger which arises from passengers wtio. rainer tnan miss tns ride, at first stood on the footboards which run alonjr either side of ths car, and were in, risk of being brushed off. Big tin horns were originally an accompaniment of these parties, but they mode such a racket and so disturbed tne rest of trie auiet citizens who retire at sundown or a little after that complaints to the authoritk brought out an order that norns were to be left at home or the parUcs aoanaonea. r orty is the customary number of rvirtlcipants. The start is made about 8 o'clock. The girl3 come in white dresses and without hats, the men in duck breech es, livery one has a string of sleigh bells now, since the horns were abolished. The band is put aboard, usually forward. Thn the girls and young men lind places, paired off, too, so that particular friends are next to each other. The conductor rlnes the crone-, th rar starts, and a shout goes up from the party as the car files down the street. Mnnv of the men are smoking. On a trolley party "everytmng goes." i when the band plays such popular airs as "Sweet Marie," "Washington Post" and "Molly and I and the Baby" the party Joins in, punctuating its choral effects with chorusses of congratulation to every other party it meets spinning by in the opposite direction. At the end of the line there is a supper waiting. The swell parties have a caterer serve Na hot supper at sxme convenient place. Mostly, though, the parties content themselves with a lunch brought along in the car and helped down with hot coffee. Stag parties have a stock of beer made ready for them, but these are few In number. The presence of the girls eeems essential to the enjoyment of the trip. The cars are customarily decorated with bunVng. fastened in festoons along the sides and draped in front and rear. Up to this time the fad shows signs of becoming almost a craze, and the railway companies are thinking of raising their rates. "Trolleyosi3M may be said to be Increasing its victims at the rate of hundreds a day. THE ISLE OF MAX. Its Ancient Customs, Its Government, nnd Its Tall less Cut's. Richmond Dispatch. DOUGLAS, Isle of Man. Aug. 23.Th Isle of Man is only thirty-three miles long and twelve wide, so that it is not great labor to get over it, and as two railroads run one north to south, and the other east to westyou can ses how convenient it is to the visitor. Douglas, Port Erin, Peel and Ramsey are the chief towns. The Isle of Man, wftile belonging to the British crown, is neither English, Scotch, Irish nor Welsh, but is a separate country, with a home-rule government and a language of its own; but yet with great loyalty to the imperial government and devotion to Queen Victoria, for everywhere you go you see pictures of the royal family. The government Is- known as the "House of Keys," and consists of twentyfour membersv elected every seven years; but no person has a vote unless he Is possessed of real estate of the valuo of 40, or occupation of the value of G0 per year, and women are also entitled to vote. The Court of Tynwald. presided over by the Lieutenant Governor, is composed of the Council, which embraces the bishop, Attorney-general, two judges, the clerk of the rolls, water bailiff and the vicar general. This council and the House of Keys are the active government of the great Isle of Man. There is one feature of special interest in reference to the laws, and that is that all laws passed by the House of Keys are eent for the royal asaent, and when that has been secured then the law must be formally read In the English and Manx languages on Tymrald hill in the open air, where the council and the Keys united form a Tynwald court, before they beoom laws. Tliis form of reading the law at Tynwald is the oldest style on record; was old In 1417, and has been continued ever since. The 5th day of July in ach year Is the day of publio proclamation of the laws passed in, the House of Keys. The coat of arms of this isle is ihree legs of a man in a circle. The motto, trans shall stand." The Manxmen aDDarenflv rather enjoy the three-legged crest, for everywhere you urn your face, whether at a steamboat, a railroad, a coach, a fiag. or . i i m ii . . on me wmuows ot me stores, mere you see the three leg3. I had real of the Manx cats without tails, and thought It a Joke; but, sure enough, tne cats nere are without tails, and I saw several without that graceful member. Some ladles of our party, who had not seen the Manx cats, were rather doubtful of the truth of our report, and we had to accompany them to the house, where the cat lived, and after a close examination came away believers In the tailless cat. I don't think pussy is Improved by the absence of the tail. Some people say this strange act of nature extends to the doj? also. The Manx language, like the ancient language of Ireland. Is fast passing away, and in a generation it will be one of the dead languages, enjoyed only by scholars.

Y I met an old woman on the side of a mountain selling milk, cakes and ginger ale, and, after asking her some questions about the locality, I learned from her that the children were not learning the Manx language, and that only the middle-aged and old people spoke it. She said her children only spoke the KnRlish. I was anxious to get a book In Manx, but could not find one in the stores. The old woman referred to showed me an old Bible in Manx, which I tried to buy, but she said: "So money coull buy her Bible." It had belonged to her father. I was sorry, but I also admired the old woman's love for her old Bible, and I was glad to see that money could not tempt her, thought she was quite poor, and a few Fhillinprs would have been a large sum for her purse. lilOT IN A CHUIiCII. Result of a Congressional Contest Between Two Republicans. MEMPHIS, Tenn.. Sept. 25. -A riot occurred at Gatlingburg. Tenn., last night between the partisans of John C. Houk and Henry Gibson, rival Republican candidates for Congress. While Congressman Houk was addressing a large audience In the Baptist Church several of Gibson's supporters attempted to howl him down and great excitement followed. During the confusion Deputy Sheriff L. T. Seaton entered the church with a warrant for one of the Gibson leaders for carrying a plstoL As he grabbed his prisoner some of (libson's followers jumped on the deputy and a light began. The deputy summoned aid and great confusion followed. Pistols were flourished, stones thrown and fifteen men fought like tigers for several minute.. When the law conquered it was found that Avery Codlll. leader of the Gibson men, had his kull crushed by blows from a butt end of a pistol, and Redmond Maples, who had been summoned by the deputy, also had his skull crushed. Both of them are fatally Injured. Several othcra were seriously injured. C03IMOX POISONOUS PLANTS. Deadly Roots That Are PIcusant to Hie Tnstr. Harper's Young People. The recent death of five schoolboys at Tarrytown, N. Y., from eating a root which they supposed to be sweet fiag, calls attention in a very tragic and painful way to the presence of poisonous plants in our woods and fields. Just what tne root really was I have not definitely learned. A medical journal, commenting ?n the case, supposes that It was the very common plant known as poison ivy or poison oak irhus toxicodendron.) My own opinion would be that it was more probably either the water hemlock (clrcuta maculata) or the American hellebore (veratrum iride), both of wnich are joisonous plants that grow, like the harmles-s sweet fiag, in moist localities. But perhaps it is not so important to learn wnat piant killed the unfortunate lads as to remember that the fatal root was so palatable that the boys ate it eagerly. That a root or other vegetable prouuet may be pleasant to the taste and yet contain a deadly poison is a very important , thing to know. Fortunately, not many of our native plants possess this very dangerous combination of qualities. Of those that do, perhaps the most dangerous is ihe waiei hemlock, already mentioned. This is a rank weed, growing commonly in molt localities. Its fleshy roots have a pleasant, aromatic taste, but are virulently poisonous. To add to the danger there it a closely-related plant, called the sweet cicely, that grows in simar localities, and much resembles the water hemlock, bul which has a root that Is both palatable and wholesome; Many persons have lost their lives through mistaking one of these plants for the other. Another related plant that now grows commonly here, naving been introduced from Kurope, is the poison hemlock (oonium macuiata), the plant that furnished the poison with which the ancient Greeks killed their capital criminals, and sometimes, as in the case of Socrates nd Phoclon, their philosophers. These deadly hemlocks belong to the same family with the parsnip, carrot and celery, all three of which vegetables are poisonous In their native scare, and have only become wholesome through cultivation. Kven now the parsnip sometimes develops the poisonous principles if allowed to become too old before being . pulled.7 , . Tne hellebore Is also a common plant, growing in boggy places. It is a lily tthough no one not a botanist would suspect the relationship), with broad-plaited leaves that clasp the stem at their base. The poisonous properties of this plant were well known to the Indians, who were said to have sometimes used it in selecting their chiefs the man who could take most of the poison with impunity being regarded as strongest and best qualified to lead. On account of this tradition, the hellebore Is often called "Indian poke." It is also sometimes called "crow plant," because the early settlers scattered corn steeped in a decoction of hellebore over the fields. to poison crows. The aconites are another tribe of common and very dangerous plants. A few weeks ago a family on Long Island suffered from eating the roots of one of these plants. We have several native species, but none of these is as well known as the "monk's hood," which has come to us from Europe. This plant has a historical Interest, as its poison was used on arrowheads in primitive warfaie, and in the execution of criminals in more civilized communities. In some countries it was used to poison wolves, and hence it is often called "wolfs bane." We are also Indebted to Europe for several other common plants that are very poisonous; in particular, the foxglove (digitalis pupurea), the deadly nightshade (atrepa belladonna), the henbane (hyoscyamus niger), and the stramonium (datura stramonium.) The last named is a very common roadside weed, having a large tubular white flower. It is commonly called Jamestown weed, often corrupted into "Jimsen weed," this name having 113 origin In an incident of the early history of Virginia. Some soldiers who had b-en sent t3 Jamestown to quell the rebellion of Bacon were, poisoned by eating a salad made of young shoots of the stramonium. The deadly nightshades must not be confounded with our charming lilies called drooping nightshades (trilliums), which are plants of far better repute. I have mentioned only the commoner flants whose poisons are most virulent. A ong list might be added of plants in some degree poisonous, but the effects of which are seldom fatal. Perhaps the most common of all, and certainly the most generally known, is the pol.on Ivy, already referred to. which really Is not an Ivy at U. but a climbing sumac (rhus.) This plant has the unenviable distinction of being poisonous to the touch. Fortunately, It does rot affect al persons, however, some being able to handle It with impunity. Loud. Detroit Tribune.
