Base Ball.

To pass over base ball now without mention
would be to ignore the theme-the dGSOr6-
tag theme-ay, almost the only theme there Is
to talk or write about The present fever over
this game is of a most malignant type, and has
seized upon this community, it not the whole
county and State, with hold that, like yellow
fever, can only be broken by frost aud cold
weather. Snyrna has the fever badly because
the Smyrna club has "wrxed" every Other
club it has played with so far, and has there
fore gained a comfortable prestige that tickics
its friends and spurs the interest in the game.
1t has always been the challenged pIrty, and
prefers to still await challenges, lest, IN look
ing tor O'her clubs to conquer it find one that
may conquer it. This is modest, at all events
The second game with the Dover club was
played last Thursday, at Dover, and resulted
in defeat Of the Dovers by score OF l. to
81 We publish the score below. We also
pu lish a statement prepared by the Smyrnas,
who We're not altogether pleased with the man
ner in which the game was conducted. We
give them space to say what they think in their
own words.
The best game ever played in the town, if
not in the county, was that of Saturday, be-
tween the SmyrnaS and picked nine called
the " MI1dletown Club" The game was well
conducted, and the Smyrnls found fOemen
worthy of their steel indeed at one stage OF
the game it was feared they had come acros.
one with too much mette, but the score pub
lished below shows them the victors by foul
runs-22 to l8 The Middletown nine was
made up of players from Philadelphia, Galena
Warwick, McDonough, Odessa, &c, and were

A LIVELY TINE AT TOWNSEND Last Fri
day. at Townsend, negro was before Esquire
Collins for stealing coat, and while the
hearing was going on the negro made his
escape from the office. About fifty people ran
after him. The Every EVening says that while
the chase was in progress, young negro was
standing n the platform at the depot but he
made no attempt to stop the flgitive Rather
than be cheated out of victim the crowd took
tins unoffending negro into custody. A gen
teman in the employ Of the railroad then
took the Squire to task for his proceedings in
the case of this latter arrest In an instant the
sleeves of the Squire and the railroad man were
rolled up, and rough nd tumble fight was
imminent, when Samuel Townsend put stop
to hO>tilities, and the matter wound up with
sending the thief, who had been caught after
running more than mile, to Jail and letting
the other negro go. 1t was thought that the
Squire would have insisted upon convicting
the wrong negro if the right one had not been
caught in time.

IT'S INTENTION There are predictions in
Sussex of hiL results from the purchase of the
junction & Bre ,kwAter Railroad by the Old
Dominion Steamship Company. The Old Do
mini0n is represented to be rich corporation,
and it is said it may consolidate number of
railroads down the Peninsula and thus draw
all the pro .uce trade Of that region to LeweS
to be shipped to New York hy its steamships
The New York Times talks thus
The Old DomniOn's plan is supposed, by
those most Interested in its operation in Mary
land, to be the opening up Of the already
built railroads of the lower Peninsula by close
connection with steamers from Lrwes with
New York To do this requires only that
seven mile, more of railroad Shall be built in
Worcester County, Md, being the seven miles
between st Martins, on the WIcOmico and
PokOmoke Railroad, and the Delaware State
line When these seven miles shall have been
built, the entire Eastern Shore Railroad, sixty
miles in ength the Wicomco and Pokomoke,
twenty five miles in length and the Berlin and
Snow Hill, twenty miles in length. and forty
miles OF railroad passing through Delaware
! (frOm Lewes to harrington will be brought
into direct connection with lIewes. Thus the
| Old Dominion Company will have secured by
this purchase one hundred and fifty miles o
railroad which permeates every section OF
large and easily cultivated and fertilized coun
try, and country capable of being made t.
produce enough fruit and vegetables to feet

WELL Mon FATAL-Lrst Thursday night,
Francis Murray, an Irshman living in : Whap-
pin," this town, was feled 10 front of his
dwelling by murderous blow dealt by Og.
Oscar johnson, young negro man. 1t was
at first thought that Murray would die but he
is recovering. 1t was alleged that the blow
was dealt whilst Murray was demanding pay
for two segars which johnson aud another
negro had bought, but on Monday johnson
delivered himself to Esquire Mariner and stat
ed that he knocked Murray down to prevent
an assault upon himself from corn knife in
the hands of Murray. He had his witnesses to
prove that Murray had struck him with the
knife and had threatened to . fix him." He
further stated that he had paid for the segars,
but that Murray, being intoxicated, was de-
manding FIVE cents more. This caused the
fuss. Unless Murray enters suit, which has
not been done so far, the case will rest here.
The Squire thinks it clearly case of selfdc
fence, but the defence was SO vigorous as tC
we'll nigh terminate life. johnson further
stated that he has purchased whisky from
Murray at different times DR.. Hirons wa,
called in to attenl Murray and he is slowly re
covering.

The POSTAL CAR CONTROVERSY between
the p. W. & B. Railroad and the Postoffice
Department seems to be in hard knot. We
give the substance of tbe correspondence in
another column. Mr. Hinckley positively re-
fused to haul the postal cars after the lst inst
without increased pay, and the p. o. authori-
ties as positively refused to increase the pay be-
cause they have no authority in law for doing
so. So, with each party refusing to accede to
the demands of the other, the mail service is
continued as heretofore. 1t is understood that
this is to be a test case to settle the question
whether or not the Government can compel
railroad companies to haul the postal cars car
rying the mails at rate of compensation fixed
by Government ITSELF The New York Tribune
says that the opinion of the Department
officials is, that in case of the refusal of any
road to carry the mails, the Government may
take the road and administer it by its own off
GERS" This will be one of the first oustion:
for Gov Jewell to attend to upon his entering
on the duties of his new Office.

ACCIDENT BY RUNAwAY.-Whilst riding
Surgen, of this town, and their niece Miss
Ida Senior, OF Philadelphia, were upset by the
horse becoming frightened and Mr.. and Mrs
s. were both badly hurt The horse Ia colt
was frightened by fDck of ducks running
under his feet whilst entering town, on the
Landing road. He turned on a short lock,
which caused the upset. and the upset caused
him to break loose and run. The carriage was
badly broken. 1t was at first feared that Mr..
and Mrs. s. had sustained permanent if not
fatal injuries, but they are slowly recovering.
Miss Senior escaped with very slight bruises.
DIR. Swinney was called in.

RUSHING FOR A VACANT SEAT-The pres
ent Eastern Shore Representative in Congress,
Hon. L. K. Wilson, of Snow Hill, is receiving
the highest ecomiums that some of his Demo
cratic friends can shower upon him. He has
declined denomination. We notice, however,
that the loudest praise comes from those most
anxious for the vacant chair" 1t may be
that it's Mr.. Wilson's resignation rather than
his services that is most admirable in their eyes,
but they express their admiration exclusively
for the service. Yet only those who are seek
ing to fill his vacancy take the trouble to write
letters praising his usefulness. He filled his
seat acceptably, we believe, but he finds quite
as much profit in good legal practice at home
as he does in the pay of Congressman, after
taking out his election expenses and the cost
OF high life in Washington. There is also
some difference between being ruling spirit
at home and being in an isolated position il
Congress. 1t is therefore understood tina
these things have influenced Mr.. w. to decline
denomination.
There will be no trouble, however, to fine
candidates for the nomination. Hon. Jame
7. Earle, of Centreville, is out in card ask
ing for the candidacy, and has issued calls 70
public meo'i"-- ~ Queen Annes county, whicl
he proposes to address and convince the Demo
Gratis that be is the best man for the place an
the party. This is a new method for securin
the nomination, yet it may win if it does nc
disgust.
jas U. Dennis, Esq, of Princess Anne,
more modist but quite as eager. 10 advanC
of being asked to accept the nomination
publishes letter declining it, but he pu
forth strong argument in favor of all goo
citizens accepting positions in their country
service when called upon to do so. He hole
to this position with great tenacity, and sa!
that If the Convention shortly to convene
Cambridge should nominate him his countr
men will find him too much of patriot to
cline, however much his personal preference
may be for staying at home He holds patric
ism, when it comes to Congressional nomin
tion on the Eastern Shore, as above eve

for county and town officers in Utah where
held on Monday. No returns have been re-
coived, but the success of the Mormons, ex-
cept in few mining towns, is conceded.
notwithstanding the declaration OF Con-
wress that hereafter no polygamist will be
allowed seat, George @. Cannon, the present
Delegate, was renominated by the Mormons.
H. N. Baskin is the Liberal nominee for Dele

majority of them Monday voted for the Nor

THE POSTAL CAR CONTROVERSY After
considerable correspondence between President
Hinckley, the acting Postmaster General and
Special Agent Bangs, yesterday, the postal
cars on the New York and Washington line
came over the p. w. Il B. r. r. and the con-
troversy is now settled, at least for the present
Yesterday morning, Mr. Bangs dispatched a
messenger to Mr. Hincklcy with his final state.
ment, saying that the mails would be rendered
to the p W. Il B. Co. upon their arrival, but
in no case would the Department agree to pay
greater compensation than that fixed by Con-
gress and now paid to the p. w. 4 b. Co. In
reply, Mr.. Hinckley informed Mr.. Bangs that
if the agents put the mails into the p. w. 4
b. cars such action would be construed into an
order to carry the mails at the rates demanded,
and they would be dispatched through. eff"
continued Mr.. Hinckly," you cannot pay those
rates do not let your agents put any mail into
any of our cars, and then plead ignorance of
the obligations the Post Office Department is
under in consequence.
Further kilograms were then sent from the
acting Postmaster General, still adhearing to
his former proposition; and when the mails
were rendered to the p. w. & b. r. X. Co.,
yesterday at the usual hour, they were accept.
ed and sent on through as formerly. 1t would
therefore seem that MIR. Hinckley consents to
transport the mails over his own road, under
protest, at the old rate of compensation.
