Ilia Trilmno Tlilnkn tlio Mugwumps Arc Getting Keady to Desert the Cleveland Ship Facts Frankly Admitted , Lenders on Curtii. Nr.w YOKK , August I. [ Spec I al Tele gram to the UKK.J In concluding Its edi torial on tlio address of Mr. George William Curtis before the National Civil Service league , the Times savs : "When all allow ance has been made for the president on ac count of the dlllicultlcs of his task aud the tiemendous pressure of pollticaiis' activity and party Ineitla , It would bo well If ho could bo Induced to rolled upon the sources of his strength. What carried him to his present position was nut yielding to party pressure , but resisting It ; not seeking to ad vance his own Interest , tlio expedients of practical politicians , but relying confident ially for support on an honest , courageous and faithful performance of public duty. This made him stronger than his party and advanced him to his present place. So far as ho has continued to display the same quail- tles , ho has maintained and Increased his strength with the people , and wherever he has lapsed from liimnoss and energetic self- assertion , IIP has suffered a loss In that popu lar esteem which makes him necessary to his party and tlie politicians ot his party neces- hary to him. If anything should destiny his hplondid chances for further service to the nation It would bo the yielding of his per sonal sense of right and his staunch adher ence to principle to the derelict demands of party expediency. TliuTrlbuiiesays : "Aro mugwumps getting ready to desert the Cleveland ship ? It cer tainly looks so , and judglng'from the speech which George William Curtis delivered at Now pott yesterday ho will bo the lirst man of the contingent to retreatover the can ; : plank. Such U the verdict of the head and trout of tlio mugwumps upon Mr. Cleveland , now that he has been president two years and live months. Tills interesting band ot reformers will hang their heads ami array themselves In penitential sackcloth as they reflect upon what sort of man It Is , on their own confes sion , that they helped to place In the white house. In supporting Cleveland in 1SS4 they were not to bo understood as suppottlng the democratic paity. That was tlio remarkable unction which they laid to their souls. They have at length discovered Mr. Curtis cer- UUnly has that the whole U greater than ono of Its parts that the dog wags tlio tail , not the tail the dog ; that tlio democratic party colitrols Cleveland , not Cleveland the demo cratic party. " The Sun says : "As between George Will- lam Curtis , mugwumps , and a lareo number of democrats , It must bo said that Mr. Curtis hews a greater disposition to toll the truth. " The Woiid says : "Tlio trank admission of facts long Ignored by the mugwump support ers of tlie president Is dliectly in line with what tlio World has been saving for a long time past. The president lias been a re former in words chiefly. Tlio very general partisan reconstruction of Its service has con tained the precedent under which tlie repub licans would again sel/u the ollices upon a change In the administration. If the reform- era had been earlier with their criticism , and moro prompt with their regrets , It is possible that they would have less ground now for disappointment.

Pathetic Appeals Hy Colonel SIttnn and Lawyer Hardy The Jury Auks For A Hccess Uoucral Stiles' Argument. Drawing to n Close. CHICAGO , August 4. [ Special Telegram to the BKE. I It was intended that Chicago's great boodle case should go to the jury this afternoon , and with that end In view Judge Jamleson opened to-day's proceedings at 8 o'clock. But scarcely had Mr. Hardy got fairly launched Into his smooth and plausible two-hour argument for the defense when the prospect of tlio extra work became too much for the jury. Shortly before 10 o'clock Juror Meserve sent In an appeal to Judge Jamleson asking that it recess bo taken at the close of Mr. Hardy's argument until I o'clock this afternoon. The jury feared that they would bo talked to death by the four lawyers. Sev eral jurymen were feeling Indisposed and did not wish to be hurtled to the and of the case. They wanted another day of It. After due deliberation Judge Jamloaon minted the request. Mr. Alexander Sullivan who was to speak this afternoon was also feeling unwell and he joined the request for an easy session to-day. At 10oO : o'clock when Mr Hardy had finished the court took a recess till 1 p. in. At the afternoon session General Stiles occupied two hours aud another ad journment was taken till to-morrow morn- Ing. To-morrow Mr. Sullivan aud Mr. Grin- ncll will make the closing arguments for their respective sides and the case will go to the jury early In the afternoon. It was Inti mated to-day that after a verdict has been reached In the omnibus case Mr. Grlnnell will make a statement In regard to the con spiracy to get Tale , Varnoll's friend , on the jury. Mr. Furth > iiann Is authority for the statement that the lirst Intimation of the at tempt to pick the jury came from one ot the defendants who gave the prosecution a "tin. " Mr. Furthmann positively refuses to toll which one ot the twelve boodlers had thus tried to curry tavor with the state. It is be lieved , however , that it was Van Pelt , as It Is not likely that Khelm who was known to his co-defeudanta to be weak kneed , was in the confidence of Varnell. Whether or not Mr. Grinnell intends to reward Van Pelt for his opportune and mobt important squeal cannot be known until the boodlers are called up tor sentence , or perhaps not until a recommendation tor pardon for little Van Pelt is forwarded to the governor. In the first two speeches for the defense not a word was said about van Pelt or Varnell. Both Colonel Munn aud Mr. Hardy apologi/cd and begged lor Dan Wicii and tlio former painted "Buck" McCarthy as a noble , gener ous fellow who never \on thoughtof wrongIng - Ing the people of Cook county , although ho did accept a "present" ot S150 from Tom Kvers , the horse dealer. Oohs Wasserman and Oliver have been pleaded for and an ac quittal has been urged fcr Cas elman. Cells and McClaughrey , because there is so little evidence against them that there Is giound for a reasonable doubt , but no excuses or pa thetic pleas have been oll'ered lor Van Pelt or Varuell. Fully an hour before the time appointed for General btiles to begin his talk to the jury this afternoon the crowd com menced to arrUo at the court hon = o and formed a double Hue in the coriidor leading to the court room and many ot them never got any further than the barrleis placed to keep out tntiuders. In his speech General Stiles said : "There is a fact which a good many men knew , a good many more suspected aud a good uunv " more be lieved , namely , that a combination" con spiracy has existed In this county for a great number of years , having its headquarters In the county commissioners' room , embiacing from seven to twelve county commissioners each year , with membi'is scattered about in different places , boodle employes , boodle contractors , boodle meichants , boodle doctors and boodle lawyers , and jou have not heard the whole story and you probably never will : but you have heard enough. 1 think , to sat isfy your minds that a conspiracy existed to defraud the people ot Cook county and to rob the county treasury. " General Stiles further said that they knew that a conspi racy existed among the board ot aldermen. THE FIHE KECOKD. Destructive and Fatal Flames at Baltimore. BAi.TiMoitn , August 4.

THE TREAT OF THE SEASON , Such Wa8 the Giuno Yesterday Between Kansas Oity and Omaha , HEALEY'S BRILLIANT WORK , Fine Playing and Much Enthusiasm All Around The Cowlioyn Hail to Flfht Hard Sport In Other Fields. Ilriltlant. The audience at the ball park yesterday nfteinoou to MH > the gtmo between the Dmaliasnnd the Kansas Cltys , was only fair in size , but tlio gamu was ono of the lluust , he most brilliant Interesting played on tha ocal grounds this seoson. Both teams were on their mettle and tha stnuulo abounded with gllttoilng plays from the opening to the close. Healy pitched a meat game , using extra ordinary judgment , the Kansas Cltys retiring- ? n ono Inning , the tiftli , on the lirst four balls' ' pitched. They made but four actually hltsf Jlf of film In the entire game. His line work/ ' .n . the points , however , was maiiod to acer- lain extent , to two wild throws to lii t , botll of which woio very damaduir. Mosslll , Uwyer , Walsh , Handle , Bader , Tussolbaolo Mid Jant/en also handled themselves in an admirable way , especially Messltt and Jaut/on , the former making ona ot the most phcuommtal one-hand cathes. InJ the llfth Inning , ol a hit trum Howe's ba ( ever scon upon a ball Held. He nuulo onq stop , too , that wap of a circus order , andj elicited a perfect bedlam ol applause. Jaiit- zen , the six-foot back-stop , caught one of tha prettiest games aver seen In Omartn. He wita a perfect stonu wall , catching throughout without an 01 ror , and doing the work with ) but llttlo fuss or feathers. In fact the whole nine plajcd with a vim and dash and perfect tlon that was uxhlleratlng to behold. Thq cowboys , too , as the score and the rosulf probably signifies , plavcd a magnificent came , but three errors being recoided against them. The umpiring of Mr. Henglo was cxcojx tlonally good , but one deeisiou inciting any thing that resembled a kick , and that was fn > tliu ninth , when he proclaimed Hualcy sata on a fly knocked to left Held and scooped up along with a handful of hay by the agllo Mr } ' Lillle. As is customary on the homo grounds , the Omalias wont lirst to the bat , and despite tliu , tact that Walsh opened up the music bv rt' ' corker to renter , and Messctt got his base enl ono of Nichols , they were retired without' scoring. The cowboys woio presented with goosa eggs In tlio llr > , t and .second , although they succeeded In getting men on bases In both/ Innings. In the second thoOmahas mndetwo tallies' . FusMjlback took his seat on a throw ot pltebj to first Jant/en hit safe to right , and stele second and thin ! to the Immense delight ot\ \ the audience. Jant/on reminds ono of a irlratl'o as ho uutold himselt between the bases. Walsh was on hand with his second ? sate hit , Jant/eu ciosslng tlio piato. Walsh ] stole second In line t > tylo kept right ou tit third and homo on a wild thro wet Loggta second , which also got bv center Held. Mos- sitt made the th'td ' out on a high flv to left. In the third Dick Dwycr hit the ball tor clean three-sacker , but was loft , llaudloi was put out from pitch to titst. Bailer goft his base on live balls , and Dwyer was run ] down between thiid and home. Gcnuls got out on a fly to short. i For the cowboys , Tllllo's altltudlnous fly. was Inglorious- ! muffed bv Glnuen. Ho was ] forced , however , by McKeon's Int. llassa- ' maor's dilllcnlt foul was nlcelv cared for by ; Fnssolback. .Sunset Mansell was presented with lirst by Healiiy , who followed this up with a wild throw of Klncos' short tnliolip hit , and McKcon reached home. Lccg , how-1 ever , dashed the Missouriaus' hoped by a long fly to Badi-r. In the toiirth Fusselbach hit safely to center - % tor unit stole second , hut .lent/en and Hoaleyi wore quickly disposed of and tliu cowboys nuain came in , but to go right out again , lor , notwithstanding Nichols safe hit , they were prevented from scoring by the Miarp holding ot the Omalias. In the litth , sixth , seventh and eighth the local gladiator drew elegant blanks , but the visitors , in the .same iuiiingf , , added two tallies to their scoie. In the llfth McKeon fanned out , Uassamaer hit clean to center , Mansell followed witli his second base on bills. Kiugo then brought HasMiiimer in by a line dilvo to loft , Maiibclll taking third on tlm siiue , ami scoring on ] Logg's out at first Howe's fly to confer wai1 capitired by Messitt with one haudaftnrat hard run. This was the feature of the game , and for fifteen minutes the uproar was talrly deafening. In tlio seventh McKeon drove the ball safolv to left , went to third on Healy's second end wild throw to Dwyer , and tallied after Ilassamaer's long fly had settled In Bailer's baskets. This was their last .score , as In the eighth they were sent to the bench In one , two , three order. In the ninth inning the Omalias came In to do or die they died , but not until after a' most heroic effort to tetrlevo their ebbing fortunes. Ih-alcy's lack of judgment was the straw that broke the dromcdaiy's back. And this is the way tlio jig went up. Tuss lback was extinguished on a hit to McKein. Big Jant/en made his second t > afe hit. and went all the way loiind to thiid on n wild throw by llassamaor. Healey hit fj high fly to left , which Liliio scooped up from the' giound , aud Jaut/en was prevented from coming in. The umpire , however , de cided Healey sato. Heio the only Inhar mony nt the game occurred , the cowboys , making a gentle kick , but It didn't uo , and after lining Mauscll 910 , tlie strife went on. Walsh ster * ned up to the bat ana there was gore In botll optics. The first ball pitched he lilt how , so hard In fact , that it went tliiougli Howe , anil Jaitt7cn scored. Healey , too , injudiciously osiavedtocomo In on the htiokc , but was caught at the phto , Walsh In tint mcintlmo gaining second. .Mes&ett then Knocked a hi-autitul long llv to center which Hcddy Mansell unluckily got his clarupu upon , anil the Omalias name was Dennis.
