In 1837 she became engaged to the great composer Schumann, and was married to him in 1840. Under his influence her plano forte playing became even more cffcetive, and passing on from Bectho- ven, to whoso works she at first almost entively confined herself, she studied Chopin under composers of the most methods. At the death of her husband In 1856, she moved with her children to Berlin and has since resided at Wies- baden and Frankfort on Main. Madam Schumann, besides teaching at the Conservatoire of Frankfort; has frequently played in most of the chief cities of Rurope, the works of her hus- band belng the favorites in her reper- toire.

THE BOXS FROM NIAGARA FALLS CERTAINLY DID ESTABLISH A REPUTATION AS KICKERS-A CHANGE OF UMPIRES WAS MADE - CHE VISITORS RE- TURNED TO THEIR COLLEGE OX THE LATE TRAIN. From the Union-Sun of May 21. One of the most exciting ball games which was ever played on the Fair Grounds in this city occurred yesterday. 'The contesting teams were the Re- serves of Niagara University and the Idlers of this city, The game was called at 4 p. m., with the Reserves at the bat. 'The visitors knocked out two runs dur- ing the first half of the first innings. 'The Idlers then took their turn at the bat and tied the score. The second in- nings was a blank for both teams. During the third innings both of the teams scored one run. 'The fourth in- ning resulted in two scores for the visitors and two for the home team. During the fourth inning the visiting team began to kick. 'The trouble arose over a decision of Wade Lillibridge, the umpire. For some time a crowd of ex- cited ball players and the managers of the two teams shot hot words at Wade. He would not reverse his decision, how- ever, and after losing some time the game went on. 'The trouble arose over the umpire calling a base runner out on second base. 'The runner touched the base before he was touched by the ball then he slid away froni the base and the baseman touched him with the ball and the umpire decided that the runner was out,. During the the fifth innings the visit- ors did not score and the home team tooka lead of one. 'The first part of the sixth inning the umpire made another decision which did not meet the appro- bation of the kickers from the Falls. They at cnee rose in a body and said they would not play any longer unless the umpire was changed. Some valua- ble time was taken up in settling the matter and finally it was decided to give the University team their way and Ed- win Graham of Royalton was chosen to act as uminpire in the place of Lillibridge. All went well for three innings during which not a score was made by either of the teams. During the first of the ninth in- ning the visitors made two runs and the Idlers made one score making the score a tic. When the base runner of the Idlers touched the home plate the crowd went wild cheering. The score was tie at the end of the ninth inning. The tenth inning resulted in two scores for each time so the score was still a tic. The interest taken in the game by the spectators was intense. When the 11th inning was opened the Reserves made one score after which the Idlers took the bat. For some time it looked as though the home team could tie the score once more. The batsmen - were unfortunate enough to knock fly balls, which were cusily caught by the Reserves fielders, and the side was declared out when three men had failed to score, and the game was won by the Reserves by a score of 10 to 9. 'The weak point of the ldlers was that they did not have any substitute players. 'When the center fielder Ford had to leave the filed there was no one to tike his place. 'The home team should have several players on hand at every game to take the palcees of any , of the team who should have to leave the diamond. The visitors certainly gnined the reputation of being chronic kickers. They embraced every oppor- tunity which would afford them the least possible ground for an argument. The game was a close one and will long be remembered by those who wit- nessed it as an occasion when the vice- tory seemed to change from one team to the other several times during every inning.

Brown, a resident of Ash- ford, met with a very unfortunate ac- cident on Main Street, Springville, Wednesday morning. He came from Ashford to get Dr. W. H. Jackson to visit his father-in-law, who was dan- gerously i, and while driving with the doctor'at a. very rapid gait, the thills broke and both occupants were thrown out. Mr. Brown's foot was caught in the wheel and nearly torn off. 'The doc- tor was only slightly bruised. William Carpenter of North J ava, 61 years of age, was taken to the Erie County Penitenitary 'Puesday under three months' sentence for stealing a gun from Irving Blackmer's house in Orangeville. He confessed also to hav- ing stolen the bicycle from Montgom- ery & Son, which was found in posses- sion of the tramps sentenced on Fri- day to the Penintentiary. Martin O'Brien and Frank Coffey, the two Central brakemen whose homes are in Albion, and who were in- jured in the Sanborn wreck, are re- ported doing as well as could be ex- pected.

Hines, rector of the Church of the Sacret Heart, Naiag- ara Falls, who was stricken with par- alysis Tuesday night, has been uncon- scious all Wednesday and after 10 o'clock it was stated that he was grad- ually sinking and probably would not last longer than 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. | 'Two years ago he was dan- gerously il, and not expected to live, but recovered. ! At a late hour Wednesday night John Gavin, a young man employed at the Niagara Falls Paper Compuny's mill, caught the thumb of his left hand in moving machinery and in struggling to prevent his arm from being drawn in the member was torn off. It was a very painful wound. Dr. \V. H- Hodge and Dr. W. C. Cross dressed the in- juries. ( Yesterday Walter Jones of the firm of Porter & Jones, the engineers who are making the stirveys for the new ceme- tery on the Colt farm near Niagara Falls, left the office of the firm in the Gluck Block, and put a notice on the door inscribed: \Gone to the new cemetery.\ A person who happened along observed the notice and posted another near it, reading: \Thank God.\ This morning Clarence Schreuse, an employee of C. E. Cobb's mill and grape basket factory at Sherman, met with a serious mishap by accidently stepping in a vat of hot water and steim in which vencerings logs are placed. Schreuse was precipitated into the scalding flued with both feet and as a result both legs were badly burned to the knees, one leg above the knee. He was in mortal agony and moaned and cried pitifully when rescued. Medical aid was hastily summoned and the un- fortunate man rendered as comfortable as possible. It will tike some time for him to recover from the effects of the accident. Mrs. Francis Dennison, widow of E. H. Dennison of Oleon, who committed suicide in Buffalo a year ago last fall, died last Sunday at Providence Retreat in Buffalo, where she had been under treatment for nervous prostration dur- ing the past two months.

FRANK LARNE, A NATURALIZED AMERICAN CITIZEN, ARRESTED BX THE SPANISH--IHEY LAUGHMED AT OUR CONSUI'S PROTEST. New York, May 21.-A special to the Herald from Havana, via Key West, says: 'The press censor, neting under special instructions from General Wey- ler last night forbade me to cable di- rect from Havana news of the arrest and imprisonment of Frank Larue, a naturalized American citizen, a wealthy merchant of Cardenas and a prominent sugar planter in Matanzas province, by the Spanish military au- thorities in the district on a charge of political conspiracy. to . Larue's partner, Ernesto Decasto, whose arrest was also ordered, is in hiding. Larue refused to make any statement unless United States Consul Hanse should be present. 'The consul has protested at the summary proceed- ings, demanding a civil tral and the right of legal defense. The Spanish military officers laughed at the protest. Captain Laborde of the Competitor, who was interviewed in the Cabanas castle said yesterday he was put to the torture by one Setion, an officer of the Pinar Del Rio volunteers at La Palma, just after he was captured. 'Thumb- scews and sharp steel wrist links, he says, were used. j It appears that the real truth as re- gards the reported refusal of the Ha- vaua volunteers, to go to the field to reinforce the trocha, is that they made it a condition that the sentences of death against the Competitor prisoners, recently convicted, be first carried into effect. B Xt is agnin rumored that Captain-Gen- eral Weyler will soon be succeeded by Blaneo, Polavieja or Pando. It is a fact that General Weyler has received an important dispatch from the minis- try insisting upon a radical change in his military policy and the immediate inauguration of more humane meas- ures. _; f Indications point to a steady increase of the influence of Martinez Campos at Madrid.: A letter from him to a per- sonal friend liere says he hopes to re- tum to Cuba in Qctober with full pow- ers to inaugurate the long promised au- toromist measures. i , Gen. Pando, who recently embarked for Spain to represent Santiago De Cuba in the Cortes, though a strong conservative, left Havana fully con- vineed, he said, that only radical po- litical reforms, coupled with an in- crease of military activity, could save the island to Spain. ° Personally, he thought the bulk of the Spanish residents in the. island, should Spain fall, would favor annexa- tion to the United States as a last re- sort and to avert the natural conse- quences of Cuban independence under AMaceo's regime. ien. Pando laughs at the idea that Spain could make war on the United States. He asserts that no combina- tion of European powers could ever hope to crush the latter, or even humi- liate her for a long time. 'The correspondents of the Madrid and foreign newspapers are forbidden by the press censors to wire any details of the alarming increase of smallpox and yellow fever. cases in the army; Not alone in the army fand nayy are these dreaded diseases now epidemic, but many cities -and towns are suffer- ing fgrom the scourges,. while Havana is terribly stricken by typhoid which vies with smallpox and yellow. fever in the number of victims it claims.

Frankfort, Ky., May 21.-County Judge Williams has rendered a decision in a habeas corpus case, the effect of which will be to release 250 convicts now confined in the penitenitiaries of this state, M. M. Britton, a Pulaski County convict, brought suit for his re- lease and ask for a construction of the penitentiaries \good time\ law. Under the new law Britton's term would have ended May 17, but the sink- ing fund commissioners held that the law mmder which he was received, viz.; the five day Jaw, applied to him, and that he was not entitled to the benefits of the new law.
