best known as the author of several ed
vocational works which were extensively
adopted as text books in the principal
schools of England. In 1S49 he was
appointed sgent of the Red River col

AN EXCITING WAR.

city will enjoy something of rush OF

STILL ANOTHER DEFEAT.
The Fort Wayne Climb Once More Victorious
by Score of to blooming Games.

The Fort Wayne ball club again defeated the
Indianapolis club yesterday by score of 5 to 2
The game was very pretty contest and was
lost to the home club by errors al critical mo-
ments, and by stupid field management in not
playing the fielders far enough out. The visitors
scored at least two two-base hits and three
base hit by knocking balls over the heads of
O'Leary and Petz, who throughout the game
played entirely too close IN and caught but one
fly between them. Callahan and Peoples distin-
guished themselves by brilliant fielding, the for
mer making a phenomenal one-hand stop of a
hard hit. The visitors infielders played a re-
markable game-not making a single error, and
not an Indianapolis man got to first errors.
Such an exhibition is not often seen on a ball
ground. Packard was more effective than on
Monday, although he was hit freely, but with
proper support, at least three hits on which more
than one base earned, should have been but
single. Followingis

The Telerranh Strike.

The only noticeable thing IN connection with
the telegraph strike in this city, yesterday, was
that the l., B. & W. Railway Company's
operators peremptorly refused to transmit
messages for the Western Union. The trouble
ia on the Peoria division. Superin-
tendent Wallick stated yesterday that
the operators would not themselves
transmit Western Union messages, and
when the company attempted to, their circuit
would be interrupted The superintendent is
very much annoyed over the difficulty which is
encountered over the l., B. d w. wires, but
claims that otherwise everything Is working
satisfactorily IN the office here. The strikers,
however show no signs of being disheartened.
The railway company cannot afford to discharge
the operators vino are causing the trouble over
their routes for the Western Union, as their
places could not be readily supplied, and it might
result in serious difficulty in the matter OF run
ming their trains.
