gan. 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

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

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.

NKW ' YORK. Oct. 11. Three men were
Rilled and a dozen others rendered un
oonHcious by an explosion nnd fire In the
Pennsylvania railroad tunnel under Long
Island- City today.
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. It took place
under the Long Islnnd railroad station In
a lock at the end of one of the four tubes
which ore being dug to connect with tubes
running under the F..ist river to Manhattan
Island which will connect with subways
lending to the proposed Pennsylvania, rail
road station. 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.

LOb ANGELES. Cal.. 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

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.

Mr. Knapp continued by saying that wheu
tills act came to the notice of the Inter

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.
Chairman Charlton states in his letter
that the Union Pacific now has withdrawn

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. The second arrest proving a
mistake, the police are left to take an en
tirely new Murt.
Capture Looks Unvd.
Detectives Mitchell and Shepherd Thurs

Interesting for a time, but Is not now con
sidered very Important. They found a
negro who answered reasonably well to the
description given by Mrs. Lynch of the
man who frightened her Saturday noon at
her home at Forty-third and Dodge streets.
He wore no ahirt. but In a laundry package j

Spots of blood were found on his under
shirt. A close examination failed to reveal
i and .blood stains on shirt or vest and a
a quart of milk Suturday noon not far from
the scene of the murder. The detectives
found that he worked for a sidewalk con
tractor, had gone to work Saturday morn

down thu PoncK rosd through the hills,
their team became frightened at an auto

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

party was more or less under the influence

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

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
