Van Wert 4; Richmond 0. Muncie 2; Huntington 1. Van Wert, O., May 27. Yesterday, on a soggy field, caused by a heavy rain storm an hour before the game -was called. Van Wert defeated Richmond by a score of 4 to 0. Louie Hunt was In the box for the locals and he had the Quakers baffled at all stages, only one of them penetrating the local defense as far as second base. The game was not. very interesting and the one spectacular feature, was a stop of a hard hit ball by Hauman, who recovered his poise in time to catch the runner at first. Mason worked well but was not accorded the best of support. The big fellow was only touched up for seven hits. All of Mason s good work was of no avail, however, against the sensational pitching of Hunt. The five hits the local manager allowed wtle widely scattered. Van Wert scored all of its runs in the first and third innings. In the first Conklin flied out to Hurst. Stewart was safe on first by an error of Cameron's, then Campbell singled. Grey hit to left and both Stewart and Campbell scored. Shinn threw home in an effort to catch Campbell but failed, .lessup, however, by ;i beautiful throw to Parker caught Cray going to second. Mason hit Hardin.. Durham tapped to Bambaugh who caught Hardin at second, Parker taking the assist. In the third Campbell led off with a single an dwent. to second on Cray's sacrifice. Hardin skied to Pierce then the mighty Thill Durham smote the ball over the fence. Campbell scoring ahend of him. Gregory singled but Carmony ended the inning by flying to Hurst. Two games will be played today, one this morning and one this afternoon. Summary:

Huntington, Ind.. May 27. Four hits, two of them doubles in three innings off Valenti, aided by two cosOy errors gave Muncie five runs and sufficient to win from the locals in Tuesday's game here. After Valenti had been chased to the bench, Romaine went in and held the visitors to but two additional hits, netting naught. Huntington started a hit and run rally in the sixth, securing five bingles netting three counts. Litteral was tight at all stages and in seven innings but twenty-one men faced him. Summary:

Please Mr. ; Manager Smith, bring your Miamisj here for the three games Saturday and Sunday and have that pitcher work in all three contests. Fleming and Brown are the two twirlers Manager Jessup is working in the two games being played today at Van Wert. Aresmiih will pitch the game tomorrow. The president of the local "Root Society." stated this morning in an interview, that the members of the organization were disheartened but not discouraged.

order seems to have had the effect of improving the little fellow's batting ability. Yesterday he secured two more hits and made his second to-bag-ger of the trip. A. Duncan, of the Salford Harriers, who won the English Marathon trial, weighs 14 pounds Duncan finished in L'h. 15m. 4."c, distance "22 miles, 1.4JO yards. The race was run in a heavy rainstorm. Appleby, the fifteen-mile record holder, started, but whs beaten on accrunt of the heavy going, as he weighs only 11 pounds. His running shirt and tights weighed five and one-half pounds after the race which indicates the conditions under which the contest was decided. A longer time, pro rata, must be stipulated when calculating Duncan's time over a course nearly three miles further, as was Morrissey's Boston Marat hon. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Ja-k Blackburn will meet in the ring at Philadelphia on June ;. They were to have boxed last week, but owing to some hitch in the arrangements the bout was iKistponed to the date mentioned. PLAINTIVE WAILS ARE HEARKENED BY STATE TAX BOARD (Continued From Page One.) any effect on his action in the matter of reducing assessments, but assessments were reduced, just the same, and the state is the loser thereby. The reductions are called "specific cases," but. the record shows that they were fairly general, and it is difficult to understand why there should be a decrease in valuations of fixed properties simply because of unsatisfactory business conditions. The condemnation of the Phillips theater at Richmond is but the first step of the state factory inspector in a crusade against fire traps over the state. He does not consider the rhillips theater a fire trap as a building, but. does consider it as such for the purpose for which it is being used. He has his eye. on several other theaters over the state and will take summary action in their cases as soon as the full information is brought to hand by his deputies. There are some sixty theaters in the state that will come in for a close inspection, and it. is safe to say that in practically every case alterations will be ordered. Felix T. MeWhirter, the Indianapolis banker and the man who stands as the most prominent in the ranks of Indiana prohibitionists, in a talk with your correspondent regarding the position of the two old parties in the liquor question, expresses the opinion thafr neither was sincere and that the unit system of local option would never prove a success. "So long as the government is in any sense a party to this traffic, there can be no abolishment of it." said he. "It is true that the state platforms of the republican and democratic parties affect to stifle the liquor traffic, but what good is prohibition in spots. The federal government stands with its interstate commerce law prepared to legalize the shipment of liquor from one state to another, and there is no hope of driving the saloon and its allied interests out of existence while such. pro tection is afforded. We aim higher than local option absolute abolition by the aid of the national government. Xo, the sop thrown out by the old parties, will in no way take the wind out of the prohibition sails. We will go right ahead and triumph in the end. Our vote in the coming national election will prove, I am sure, that the prohibitionists understand thoroughly the position of the old parties." The announcement that the Marion club, which is probably the most influential working organization in the republican ranks of the state, will send a big delegation to the Chicago convention, has caused a lot of stir among the membership, which extends all over Indiana. It is in this organization, more than all others put together that the fate of the Fairbanks boom rests as regards the lining up of every possible delegate, and if the Marion club schemehs and screechers do not perform some surprising political stunts at Chicago, all to the good for Chas. W. Fairbanks, it will be the first time that they have failed along that line of activity. In this connection the nomination of Benjamin Harrison i recalled. Some of the men who were prominent in the battle for Harrison are enrolled in the active membership of the Marion club, with their sons and their sons' sons. The old fire is there, and the Marion club, some three or four hundred strong, will go to Chicago to fight with their last giasp for Fairbanks and Indiana. The special trains that will carry them are. a reminder of the famous special that carried Indiana's best fighting blood to Chicago for Harrison. In fact, the elaborate preparations now being made are simply a case of history repeating itself, with the one important chapter yet to be written. Some comment has been caused by the slowness with which the candidates before the recent joint primaries in this county have filed their lists of expenses, as required by law. That there was a bitter fight for some of the offices, with the brewery influence working hard for certain favorites and spending money freely, has left the impression that a lot of good money was spent that will never be included in the filed statements. In fact, it is positively known that some of the candidates went the limit and that they i do not care to let the facto be known.

TRIPLE PLAY-MARKS

RICHMOND VICTORY

Locals in Ninth Inning Pull Off Sensational Play, Saving the Game. MANY ERRORS WERE MADE. THESE HOWEVER DID NOT COUNT MATERIALLY IN THE FINAL SCORE BAUMAN GETS A HOME RUN AS DOES DURHAM. Van Wert, O. May 27. Richmond ! defeated Van Wert this morning in the most sensational, hair-raising game ever seen in this city. Each team is charged with several errors, but they I did not cut any figure in the result of the game. The feature of the contest was a brilliant triple play executed by j Bambaugh, Jessep and Cameron in the ; last half of the ninth inning, which 1 This was the first triple play of the season in the I.-O. league and it was a most unusual one. Durham started the Van Wert rally with a single and was advanced to second on Gregor's safe bent. Carmony then singled, sending Durham home. Kiel went to bat for Moore and hit to Bambaugh. who made a perfect assist to first, but Cameron dropped the throw. This left three men on bases. Conklin came to bat and drove one to Bambaugh, who immediately threw to Jessup, catching Gregory at the plate. By a quick throw to first Jessup caught Conklin at first. On. this play Carmony attempted to score, but Cameron, by a quick return to Jessup, caught Carmony at the plate, thus completing the triple play. Bauman and Durham hit like fiends in this contest. Each one of them secured a home runn. Little Johnny Bambaugh had ten chances at third and ho took everyone of them without a wobble. Tomorrow afternoon the two teams play a double header. Summary:

Why Should He Be Selected as Sand Bearer to Satan? It Is said and believed by many that all the blue jays disappear every Friday, and not one can be seen until the next-day, and this disappearance is accounted for by the statement that the birds are under a compact with Satan and that they devote each Friday t delivering him a supply of Band to heat his caldron at the point of torture. But why should the blue jay be selected as sand bearer to Satan when there are so many birds of stronger and fleeter wing? There are-many superstitions that have a reasoning basis, but this particular one has nothing whatever to go-on. The origin of it lies in the fact that the blue jay Is a most particular horn builder. He knows how to build his house, and be takes a great pride In It. He doesn't hang his nest to a limb not glue It to a tree. Instead he selects a substantial fork or crotch of a limb, lays down a few twigs of goodly size and strength, and on these he superimposes a strong foundation of clay, with layers of papers between, and when his nest is finished it ts as substantial In proportion as one of our modern steel structures. Thus fitted and finished, it Is admirably adapted to the rearing of a strong and healthy brood, and the blue jay goes about his business with the earnest energy that characterizes all hLs movements. He raises his young and leads them about from tree to tree and from bush to bush until they have tried and found their wings, and then, his responsibilities being over, be proceeds with his career of gnyety, a veritable practitioner of rough fun and stage humor.

TIMING THEOVATI0N A Custom Born In the Political Conventions of 1892. THE OUTBURST FOR BLAINE. It Lasted For Nearly Twenty-five Minutes and Almost Swept the Convention Off Its Feet The Cleveland Demonstration Was a Trifle Longer. Timing the ovations at political conventions for favorite candidates was born iu the national conveution of 1S02. Notwithstanding the fact that It was pretty generally understood who would head the tickets in that year, there were interesting and even excit ing incidents in both conventions. At Minneapolis the Blaine men fought nobly, but to no purpose. The galleries were with him, but a majority of the delegates, contemptuously referred to by Senator Edward Wolcott of Colorado as the "bread and butter brigade." were for IIarrisn. and they could not be swayed by oratory, emotion or cash. For a brief half hour, however, the Harrison men were plainly troubled.

Chauncey M. Depew was on the plat- rupted in his speech at Minneapolis, xnit to an operation such as is providform seconding the nomination of Har- vino iiv ih mnmnt camp, "fi rover ed for by law.

rison. lie naa spoKen hdouc ten minutes when he mentlened the name of Blaine. The effect was simillar to that produced by touching a lighted match to a powder magazine. The convention "blew up." Then and there be gan what was destined in the future to become a regular convention feature the timed ovation. The Blaine men, aided lustily by the galleries, took up the rhythmic cry of "Blaine. Blaine. James G. Blaine!" The chairman of the convention was absolutely powerless to check the wildly enthusiastic crowd. Mr. Depew's face was a study. lie stood disconcerted and helpless, smiling nevertheless. The first outbreak was of perhaps ten minutes' duration. At the end of that time the crowd was nearly exhausted. The chairman rapped vigorously for order, and the convention was about to give Its attention to Mr. Depew when some leather lunged delegate again started the "Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine!" slogan. At the same moment Mrs. Carson Lake, the wife of a well known newspaper man, who was seatedonthe platform. Jumped to her feet and began to lead the cheering, keeping the crowd iQ' perfect unison by using a white parasol as a baton. No similar scene has ever been wit nessed In a national convention. The first Blaine outburst was more than inspiring. This one was 6imply overwhelming. Even many of the Harrison men were caught In the wave of enthusiasm, and the next fifteen minutes were anxious ones for his political managers. Mrs. Lake did her part well. Assuredly hers was the greatest parasol flirtation ever carried on in the United States. She dominated the 12,000 men who stood before her for a quarter of an hour. In the opinion of many persons she came very close to upsetting the convention programme. Had a less adroit speaker than Mr. Depew been before the assemblage she might have done so. However, the Blaine cheering lasted between twenty-two and twenty-five minutes. Then the convention nominated Harrison and Reid. Ten days later the Democrats assembled in Chicago. The late William C. Whitney was In charge of the Cleve land forces. Notwithstanding the well understood fact that he had the situa tlon under perfect control several ad herents of David B. Hill, notably Ed ward Murphy. Jr., of Troy, insisted upon having. Mr. EliU's name presented to the convention. The day of the nomination was un pleasant enouga'outslde of the convention hall. Inside it was almost unbearable. Hardly had the delegates seated themselves when a heavy thunder and lightning storm broke out. Parts of the roof'were leaky, and some of the delegates raised umbrellas. While the storm was raging one of the arc lights became loosed from its position and came swinging down over the heads of the New York delegation, barely missing Roswell P. Flower. Some time was required to restore order, but the storm abated, and the convention proceeded to business in the most humid spot on the North American continent. The morning session was unimportant. When the convention reassembled in the afternoon it was generally understood that It would not adjourn mtH a nomination had been made. Mr. Cleveland's name was presented and was seconded nearly all the way down the alphabetical list of states until New York was reached. Daring the eaTJy'jwTt-of-the session there were a rreaf deal of cheering and entlrosl-

Meantime Mr. Cockran stood on the platform, the least erturbed person in the hall apparently.

START OF AN ARTIST. John Opie'a First Portrait and What It Cost Him. John Opie. the English painter, 13 described in "Coke of Norfolk und Ills Friends." by Mrs. A. M. W. Stirling, as a man of humble origin who achieved success wholly by his own genius and perseverance. The story of his first effort in that line of art which afterward brought him fame he related to Coke, first Earl of Leicester of Ilolkhatn. as follows: When a small boy of ten or twelve er went to church. The father established himself in the parlor with his Bible and told the boy to be quiet aud amuse himself. Young Opie. who had procured some paints, took up his position unobserved in the kitchen directly opposite tb parlor door. Very quietly he drew a portrait of the old man bending ovei his Bible until he bad finished everything except the head, when he begas running backward and forward t Btudy his father's lace. The old gentleman grew Tery angrj. at these apparently senseless Interruptions and threatened to punish bis sod if they continued. This was exactly what the boy want ed, as he wished to paint bis fatber'i eyes lit up and sparkling with anger. So he continued his irritating behavloi until it met with tbe desired result and his father. Justly wrathful, administered a sound thrashing. This achieved, the boy resumed hi task eagerly and transferred to hli picture the expression which he had just seen upon the face of bis lndlg riant parent. When bis mother returned from church he placed the picture triumphantly before her; bat. although aston ished and delighted w ith It. she tbonghl it her duty to scold her son severely for painting on a Sunday. Young Opie. however, cared no mor for the scolding than for the beatlni he had received In accomplishing hli work and only hugged bU mother d l'ghtedly in his excitement at its euo cess. His father, coming Into the room at that Juncture and spyrng the portral: of himself, was so surprised and pleas ed at it that be told the mother not tc scold the boy any more. Subsequently, whenever the plcttirt was shown, fce nsed to tell with great relish the story of young Opie's plnckj acceptance of a beating in order to ia sure its success.
