that there was lady present who he pre-.

proper time, as he had ordered q subpoena
Served on her on her arrival. The witness
was put under rule TO be conferred with by
both sides of the case, being in the position of

sumed with the examination Of DIR. Ford, of
Shreveport whose testimony as to the sign of
insanity and Hypothetical case was put by

TO those surrounding Currie. Witness replied
that u man so conducting himself was insane.
Tho state promises TO produce unmvorable tes-
timony regarding the character of tho witness.
Lieutenant Moore has arrived. Tho arrival
of Miss Cummings caused such mOmontary
confusion that a recess was taken.
Miss Cummings was called to the stand and

FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH
TWENTY-NINE TO THREE.
The Nationals Astonlsh tho Visitors from
Quaker City.

Those lovers OF base ball that attended No
tho National grounds yesterday afternoon TO
witness the second game between the Phila-
dclphia Athletics and the Nationals saw some
of tho heaviest batting ever done in this city.
The Nationals seemed TO be IN their hitting
clothes, and tho work done with the bat by
them was tremendous. IL demoraliaed the
visitors, aud IL was not strange that such
should be the case. Very few clubs could
stand five throc.base hits in ono innings fol-
lowing in close succession upon each other,
and it generally breaks mp any nino. Tho
Athletics changed the pitchers and heldcrs in
their positions, but It availed nothing and
tho error column continued 10 swell At tho
bat they failed to accomplish much, and tho
game was very ono.sdcd. Derby's pitching
proved effective, aud Snyder caught for him
in frst.class style. The fielding game Of tho
home nine was almost laultless Gcrhardt on
account of sicknoss. was laid or at the sixth
innings. Lynch took second base and Wise
was substituted. Ho was put in the right
field and did not havc much to perform, but
was found ready when called upon, and has
tho material in him for a inc player.
Appended is the score:
