THE return game of base ball between
the Centennials, of Two Rivers, and the
Nonpareils, of this city, was played on
the grounds of the home club on Satur-
day last. A large number of spectators
were present. Owing to the great diff
ference in the score of the contestants,
the game was not so interesting as it
would have been had it been closer, and
at the end of the sixth inning the game
was closed, the score then standing
Nonpareils, 60 Centennials IL. Our
boys showed the effects of constant
practice in their fine fielding and accur-
ate throwing, and the impression is in
dnlged in by those who saw them play,
that but few, if any, clubs in the State
can make them stake water."

A FLAG WITH AN EVENTFUL HIS
TORY.

Hon. John M. Read contributes the
following to the Chronicle this week
"Many of the readers of the Chronicle
will remember the presentation to Com
pany "a" Fifth Wisconsin Infactry-
the first company sent to the war by
Manitowoc county-of beautiful gold
embroidered silk flag, by the patriotic
ladies of Manitowoc. at the time of tho
organization of the company IN the spring
OF 1861. The immense gathering on the
occasion was presided over by Gideon
Collins, then President OF the village,
and the presentation was made on behalf
of the ladies by Mrs. Collins, both since
dead. The Company "a" boys received
The beautiful emblem with enthusiastic
and earnest pledges 10 cherish and de-
fend it. Companies not being permitted
to carry colors, the boys were compelled
to fdrl their flag when they were absorb
ed in The regiment, but they kept it
with them through all the earlier stages
of the war. In the first days fighting
at Cold Harbor the Confederates captur-
ed portion Of the Federal baggage
train, and with it the effects of Captain
Horace Walker, among which were Co.
GAS" colors. This was the last the boys
heard of their flag until last Saturday,
when w. W. Waldo returned from
visit to Philadelphia, bringing it with
him. 1t was recaptnred, it appears, by
tho Eighth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and
passed into the possession of member
of that regiment, who kept it until re-
Gently, when he forwarded it to tie
Wisconsin Headquarters at the Centen-
NAL, to be returned to Manitowoc Co.
Judge Waldo being at Philadelphia last
week, Col. Starr confided the flag and
accompanying letter to his keeping, and
he brought them safely home. Thus,
fifteen years after this once beautiful
standard was carried forth, it is returned
to the home of the survivors of that
| brave company. 1t should and doubt
less will be carefully preserved, as the
property of the county, for its eveltful
history and it's associations make it an
invaluable heritage for our children and
our childrens' children.

THAT SHOOTING AFFAIR.

~ogE - --- Ss- - 49,
Anthony McNulty, who attempted
suicide by shooting in the bar room of
Martin Schmidt, near Silver Lake, last
Thursday morning, did not kill himself
instantly as was reported to us at the
time, but is still alive and there is
bare possibility Of his recovery. The
circumstances connected with this at
tempt of self-destrlction are peculiar,
and the truth in regard to the affair can-
not be arrived at. One statement is to
the effect that McNulty went to Schmidt'a
with the Intention of first killing him
and then himself another, that the pis-
toll was accidentally discharged by some
one in the room striking his elbow while
he was handling it-this being, we be-
lieve, McNulty's version of it. Schmidt
and al the members of his family agree
that the would-be suicide was alone in
tho room at the time of the shooting,
and that, hearing tho report of the pis
toll, went in and found him lying on the
floor. The ball entered the right side
of the head just in front of the ear, and
passing forward and in, lodged in his
brain, where it still remains. The fact
that it is there is sufficient reason for
taking his statements with n grain of al
lowance. 1t is said that there was some
misunderstanding between Scmidt and
NrI@ 10
and the latter, becoming Respondent by
reason of the difficulty in. collecting
what Schmidt owed him, thought to end
his troubles with pistol. This looks
reasonable, although we are not respon-
sible for the statement i'll regard to the
trouble between the two men-giving it
as it was told to US. No one seems to
doubt that it was deliberate attempt at
suicide. McNulty is an old resident and
well known to hundreds of our citizens.
He has always been considered q man of
msans, and although Incorporate at
times was not an habitual drunkard as
has been reported. For the present the
case must rest where it is, and whether
it will ever be clearly explained is a
question. We have interviewed several
gentlemen supposed to know rs much as
any one about it, but the above is all
the satisfaction received as to the cause,
manner, etc., of the attempt McNulty,
after the shooting, was removed to the
nunnery near by, whore he is receiving
all necessary attention and care at the
hands of the sisters. ~.

Mr.. A. MAILER, Captain of the Pu-
laski Guards, of Nordheim, sends us
description of Fourth of July celebra-
ton in honor of American independence
which took place in Lemberg, Galicia,
one Of the Polish provinces of Austria,
which he found in the Galicia National
Gazette. Thus it seems that notwith-
standing Austrian oppression, the spirit
of liberty has not yet left the people of
Poland, for they celebrate the indepen-
dence of another nation, even if they
cannot celebrate that of their own.
