A colorod man drove coal cart up Ninth
street northwest this morning, and dumped
about ton OF coal In front Of promises 506.
He was received by a little man, with very
large whiskers, and q very ragged colored
individual, with shovel. who had secured
tho contract TO put the coal away for twenty
hve cents. Tho little man with tho jumbo
hirsute attachments, seizing hatchet that
lay conveniently near at hand, started to pry
open tho cellar door OF the house, when
Mrs. Heller, who occupies tho lower part OF
the house as fancy store (for this advertise
ment We do not get cent, came out and
entered protest. She positively refused to
allow the small gentleman attached to the big
whiskers to have the coal transferred TO the
cellar. The issue raised was to this effect:
The diminutive parsonage coupled with the
Jumbo beard was tenant In the upper part of
the house. Mrs. Heller admitted that fact, but
claimed that she rented the lower part of the
house, which included the cellar, and that the
occupant of the second floor back should not
lay up his treasure for the winter In the cellar
below. When this was stated, the little man
and his mammoth whisker waxed angry. A
crowd collected, and, strange TO say, among
them was policeman. war of words on
sued. Tho colored contractor looked on sadly.
Result: At a late hour coal still lay In n heap
in front OF 506 policeman and colored con-
tractor on guard; Mrs. Heller holding fort In
front OF house, and little man and big whsk.
ers absent In quest OF law on subject.
Sequel 10 the Above.
A sequel adorns the above pathetic tale.
Later In the day, when Heller peFe returned to
his store, he explained things. ao was the
lessee OF tho cellar, and the big-whiskered
little man know 1t, but wanted TO move his
coal TO rear cellar, located Just back of the cell
lar of Hellor. (This might be taken for poetry,
but 1t Is not intended as such) Mrs. Heller
supposing that the small sized gentleman
with whiskers OF largo Dimensions wanted to
take In the whole business refused hence tho
invaders efforts to get In. Mr.. Heller proceeded
this afternoon TO procure two warrants for the
arrest OF the enemy, whose name It appears is
Wilmer. One charges assault on Mrs. Heller
and the other q forcible entry TO the cellar
More alleged poetry. The coal is still piled
In tho gutter.

A CALL.
ing teams

A congregational meeting of the mem
bers of the Central Presbyterian church
will be held on Sunday evening, Septem-
Der 18th, when vote will be taken on ex-
tending a call to the Rev. S. S. Cryer as
permanent pastor of that congregation.
The meeting will be held at the conclusion
of the evening service, and it is desired
that all the members of the congregation
shall be in attendance to take part in the
proceedings. Mr.. Cryer has been in the
city for several months in charge of the
church and during his stay has proved
himself eminently qualified to assume the
pastoral direction of that congregation.
Since his arrival the membership of the
church has been largely increased, and the
congregation generally has also improved.
He is preacher of acknowledged ability
and originality, and there is little doubt
but that he will receive the unanimous vote
of the church members to become the per-
manent minister, and also that he will ac-
cept the call when rendered.

RASE BALL.

Yesterday afternoon the Coal Valley Red
Stockings and the Stars of this city played
game of base ball at Sylvan Island,
which attracted fair attendance. The game
was not fine exhibition of proficiency
with a the ball and bat, and the large score
made by both mines would indicate that
the players were demoralized. The visitors
proved too many for their competi-
tors, and out played them at every point.
The home team were especially weak in
the field as they neglected every opportuni-
ty to distinguish themselves, and allowed
their opponents to run up score that was
in no way creditable to their reputa-
tion as ball players. The Red Stockings
did not play a remarkable game, but gained
their victory on the misplays of the Rock
Island nine. The score at the end of the
game was Red Stockings 36, Stars 16.
The first game of the series was won by the
Stars, and third game will soon be played
to determine the superiority of the compet-
ing teams.

INTIMIDATION.

Foreman

The republican ward bummers and
strikers are becoming alarmed over the
prospect of the defeat of several candi-
dates on their county ticket and the cleo
ton of the democratic nominee, and are
working hard to whip the voters into the
traces. An instance of what is being done
to accomplish that result is given below.
L. Y. Eckhardt, constable, and candi-
date for sheriff on the republican ticket,
but who was defeated, IS working hard for
the election of Morris, the republican
nominee for that position. 1t is given out
that Eckhardt will be made deputy under
Morris if the latter is elected, although
discharged from that position by the pres
ent republican sheriff for incompetency.
Eckhardt visited the cigar store of Al
Bowen, and asked if it was true that Bowen
had decided to vote for Reticker, the dem
Ocratic candidate for sheriff. Bowen s
father who happened to be in charge,
stated that he could not answer the ques-
tion, as he did not know what ticket his son
would vote for at the coming election
Eckhardt thereupon informed Mr.. Bowen
that if Al Bowen voted the democratic
ticket, it would injure his business, as the
republicans would fail to patronize him.
The sensible men of both parties are inds-
nant over the attempt to ''bulldoze'
voters, and mixing business with politics.
The republicans generally state that if
Morris has many such friends as Eckhardt
they will defeat him, without doubt at
the coming election.
