Pfoter. the left-handed pitcher, went into the box .for the Nationals. Hie control at first was good, but by no means perfect. He quickly steadied, however, and pitched superbly until the sixth Inning. It was here he went to pieces and the gamo was lost. Tannehill, reputed to be a wurti batter, singled down tho third base line. Somewhat disconcerted Pfelster al lowed Walsh to walk and a moment later hit Hahn In tha nose, breaking It. A doc tor waa called and O'Neill went to first for Hahn and finished the game for him. Rone Wins the Game. The bases were now full with nobody out. A pande nonlum of cheers from American league sympattlsera broke loose. Pfelster pulled himself together and there was a sigh of relief 'from National league aup portero whou Captain Jones ftailed out to Kllng. Isboll. one of the team's best bats men, ordlnsrily. struck out for the third time during the game. Then came Rohe. the substitute, to bat. It was this light haired young' man, whose accidental pres ence by reason of Darts' Illness In Tues days game brought victory to the Americans. Again the fate of the game de pended on him and again he did not fall. Ho waited patiently for a ball that suited him and swung with all his strength. The ball bounded like a Jack rabbit down tba - third baae line and under the benches In left fleld. Tnnnehllt. Walsh and ONalll .crofted, tM pl.te amidst wild cheers and . xhe noise of niawy-' rnegaphonea, wnila the, author of the scores stood on third base ' reearvlng 'the congratulations of his team mates. .Donohue sent a weak fly to Errs and the agony wn over. '' Nationals strike Oat. On their part the Nationals started but- like winners. In the first Hoffman sent a clean single to center. Bheckard struck out and than Hoffman killed alt chances to score by trying to steal second, where lie waa thrown out. The next moment Bchulte doubled to left, but it did no good, for Chance went out, Isbell to Donohue. Thereafter till the ninth the Nationals never gave a hint of designs on the home plate. Walsh held them completely at his mercy, apparently growing stronger and steadier every inning. When the game opened the Nationals swung viciously at his offerings, but before the contest was half over they war fishing for the ball, seemingly trying merely to touch It. Any kind of e hit would bar looked good, but mostly when they did not strike out they rolled puny gTouuders to second or short and ware out easily. In the ninth Gwasler went to bat for Pfelster and reached first because Isbell fumbled hi grounder for a moment. Hoff man went out via Isbell and Geesler reached second. ' Bheckard for the second rime missed three good ones. Gessler beat Sullivan's throw to third because the catcher juggled the baft for a moment. A bit ; meant a run, but Bchulte became a victim of Walsh's curves and the third game of the world's championship series was over. - It took a large force of policemen to pre tevt Watob and Rohe from their frenilod admirers, who thronged onto the Held, but - tliey finally reached their carriages wit.h- out being hoisted on anybody's shoulders. -Even.

Thn dod men were said to be a super- Intun-lent named George Chapman, a lock turner named Michael Daly and u fore- man named Joseph Pearce. The caue of the explosion Is unknown.

There were twenty men at work In tho lock and three of them were rendered Insensible either by the concus sion or the biuoke of a fire which followed it. Elsewheio In the tunnel there were more than thirty men at work. Woodwork supporting the tunnel caught fire Instantly and great clouds of choking smoke poured Into all ports of the tunnel. A wild rush for the shaft, a thouaand feet away and which waa the- only means of exit, followed the explosion. The bucket by which the men were taken from the ahaft to the street above could carry not more than six men and shere waa a desperate struggle among tho fright ened workmen to be the first to be Uken out. When the last conscious man waa brought to the surface, he declared that several men were lying unconscious at the bottom of the shaft. There wa a call for reinforcements and a dozen or more of the tunnel workers promptly responded. Two of them were lowered Into the shaft and those at the bottom were quickly brought up to the street. Three of the men employed In the tunnel were missed and one after another sev eral parties of tunnel workers easnyed to reach the men. but were unable to pene trate the long distance through the thick amok end wera themselves removed from the tunnel half unconscious. At one.-!ro fifteen "of the rescuers were stretr'Jied out on the sidewalka under treatment to re suscitate them after vainly 'attempting the rescue. Finally the smoke thinned out eufncieutly to permit approach to the mouth of the lock, where one man was found uncon scious and It was believed dead. The other mltalng were supposed to be still In the lock where the explosion occurred. Engineer Killed In St. Lanls. ' ST. LOUIS, Oct. 11.

Oct. ll.-Whatever may have, been the plans of the llairlman lines for Interpreting the railroad rate bill, their first endeavor did not meet with the approval of the Interstate Commerce com mission, as shown by letters received from J. Charlton, chairman of ' the Transconti nental Passenger association at Los Ange les. Mr. Charlton quotes a letter from Chair man Knapp of the Interstate Commerce commission to Eben E. McLeod, chairman of the Western Passenger association, ask ing what road sent out a certain letter, through the association, announcing that It did not regard 'he new law us prohibit ing the half rates allowed to army officers, their families and servants, the United States reclamation service employee, teachers and pupils of Indian schools and employes of the United States geological survey. This letter, Mr. Knapp recalled, had bfld the exceptions In section f of the rate bill to be "Illustrative and not erf- elusive" and refetred to the supreme court as authority fur so regarding It; also that it would continue granting the half rates. at least until tne question or legality can be passed upon by the proper tribunals. r. Mr. Knapp continued by saying that wheu tills act came to the notice of the Inter state Commerce comniiaaion lie telegraphed Mr. McLeod that the commission would not stand for being placed lu such position and that half rates positively must not be granted to any of the persona mentioned unless the government required such rates. Mr. McLeod Informed the Interstate Com merce eommlss'on then that the road In question was the Union Pacific.

Chief among tha developments In the Rummt-lhart murder cape Thursday was the fruitless termination of the clue which the South Omaha police, assisted by twa detectives from Omahs, followed Wednes day and Wednesday night. The man they trailed aas finally located and arrested, but he proved not to be the man they j tliought they were following. The negro they searched for wus sus pected of being the one who terrorized the women in the vicinity of Rlvervlew park, i and anlde from the fact that he was wanted i for the acts committed there the police ! held the theory that he might know some thing of the murder. Ernest Wilson was arrested In this connection Tuesday night by Omaha officers, but he was not Identi fied as the Rlvervlew park (lend. Then the South Omaha police got a clue they thought a good one.

For a time yesterany It was thought offi cers were on tlie road to detecting tne mur derers of yottng Hurke In two men who applied to Dr. Adams of Florence auuiU. evening to have their Injuries dressed. Another clue has been picked up which may lead to something. A party of young toughs who have frequented Florence all summer and were there Saturday night have disappeared from their usual haunts since then. The two young meu who were Injured csme to the residence of Dr. A. B. Adams between t and 0 o'clock Sunday night l Florence to be treated for Injuries, , and while- tholr actions were In all respects very eusplf toua' ft bf the utyttetus death of Herbert C. Burke, it Is now clear that tho young- men were not Implicated In Jhe Burke affair. Tho two young men who i came to Dr. Adams' residence wero of a i ea mw nr m l r va' ni nun rssn nniii iliac a a i - - - I "- Kelly's lake? and on their way home down thu PoncK rosd through the hills, their team became frightened at an auto mobile and in the lunging of the horses th ve.hlclo was upset, the tongue broken and the four young men were thrown out and all more or less Injured. The team got away from them and was finally caught at the home of Charles Meyers, about thre miles north of Florence. This was about g o'clock In the evening. The accident happened near tho Meyors' home snd Mr. Meyers helped repulr the tongue of the vehicle by wrapping It with wire. The party then proceeded on to Florence, reach ing there about 6 o'clock. The entire party was more or less under the influence of liquor ond all of them were scratched snd bruised and their clothing torn. Doctor Called la. Arriving at Steuben's saloon. It wus dl covered that one of the young men as badly hurt about the shoulders and arm, and Dr. Adams was telephoned for at his residence, and two of the young men w.nt there to have the worst Injured of them treated. Dr. Adams treated but tha one with the Injured shoulder, which was found to be badly sprained, but not broken. No treatment was administered to the other Irty. In the meanwhile the other two H , ....,, .i .nrt ia went down to Anderson's saloon and waited there until ttie first two came from Dr. Adams house, and then the whole party came to Omaha in their 'wrecked vehicle. The young men were accounted for all the time they rcmsined in Florence, having visited and drank at both saloons. Charles Meyers waa seen at Florence Thursday evening and confirms the state ment that tho young nwti wera In a bad buggy wreck and all were brulred more or less and their clothing considerably torn. He stated that they came from tlie vicinity of Fort Calhoun and were at his house about o'clock, and that he caught the team and repaired the buggy ' tongue for them.

Hays Sticks to Accident. i Captain Hase, deputy sherllf. who.' is j forking on the Burke murder case- at Florence, was on the ground and in -the vicinity of Florence most all of Thursday, and found no clues that were of any Im portance. He made some measurements ! at the cinder dump and found that the head of young Burke lay Just flftoen feei from the clnaer car ana nis leei uurieea feet from the car, which gives some plausibility to the thuory that tturke may have fallen from the car and broke his neck. This theory Is not concurred In by other who were on the ground Thursday after noon. Including Dr. Adams snd ex-County Attorney J. P. Engllsli. The people of Florence, with hardly an exception, sttll adhere to the murder theory and bellev ! he bod" of r(un Burke wu" carTlo1 10 tne piace itnere 11 wus louuu, uy nis murderers. The theory of accidental kill ing as s result of a scuffle is being gradu ally dissipated at Florence, and it is now thought that there is no woman In the case at all, but that young Burke waa assaultod within a few moments after leaving the car with ths intent of robbery and that two or threo persons were xon- cerned In tl.v uffulr, snd that in their gairutlng hlm broke his neck and did not have time to complete the robbery, but carried the body down with ths Intsntloi of throwing it into the river and. reaching tu dump pUttorutt thinking it wag UkS 1 t 4 V
