in the second inning; the Reds suffered
the same defeat as in the first The third
inning scored another cipher for the Reds,
In the fourth inning the Reds were
again whitewashed, and the fifth
registered another blank; while
the Stars made one tally at this time
Hudson was at the bat; he waited for a
safe ball and knocked it sailing to the
west gate Burch, centre field for the
Reds, gave chase, and when within a
short distance from it, made leap,
jumping some three feet from the ground,
and caught it with his left hand. 1t was
considered the finest play of the day, and
Burch was loudly applauded. In tho
sixth inning the Reds were whitewashed
again. In the seventh inning the Reds
were more fortunate and succeeded in
making a run, scoring their first tally in
this inning. The Stars were returned
without score, In the eighth inning each
side scored tally. In the r'nth the
Reds scored another tally. The Stars did
not play their last he'f of ne last iaring

DROWNED.
Death of Captain Coleman by
Falling Over board from His
Steam Tug, Tilda.

While on the passage from this city
to the0bion river after a tow of slaves,
on board of the steam tug Tilda, Cap
tain Gus Coleman, of this city, fell
overheard and was lost yesterday
morning about halt past two o'clock.
The accident happened at Bsr6sld
Point, l05 miles above here.
The particulars Of the unfortunate
mishap, as far as ascertained, are to
the effect that the Captain had retired
TO his bunk, the top one, about one
o'clock. An hour and half later he
undertook to rise, but in so doing
stumbled and fell against q small
table with such force that one corner
of it was broken. Captain George
Winters, in command Of the tug at
the time, and occupying the same
room, was aroused by the noise. One
Of the crew asked of Coleman if he
was hurt. He replied that he was
right badly hurt, and thereupon
stepped out of the room on tbs boat S
guard, fell backward into the river,
throwing his hands over his head as
he went into the water. A skiff was
manned at once and sent in search of
the lost man, but he had
sunk and nothing could be seen of
him. His brother, Charles Coleman,
on board at the time, and Captain
George Winters arrived in the city
during the evening by the steamer
Mark Twain, and they Immediately
arranged to send out circulars Offering
reward of 5000 for the recovery of
the remains. 1t is stated that the
lost Captain had about $500 on his
person at the time of his death, and
this will also be added to the reward
offered.
Captain Coleman was a native of
Sweden, and aged thirty one years.
He leaves a wife and child, the latter
but fourteen months of age, together
with his wife's mother, at the family
residence, No. 273 Poplar street. The
Captain was known as an energetic,
industrious citizen, and he had an ex>
tended acquaintance among raft, stave
and river men generally. Until
recently he managed a saloon and
clearinghouse in the upper
portion of the city which place was a
tavorite resort with boatmen. but some
time ago the house was sold and the
Captain had determined on devoting
his attention exclusively to the stave
trade. He had engaged the Tilda,
which he owned, to tow a feet of
some seven or more of barges loaded
with slaves through to New Orleans,
and another tow was expected to be
ready for him as soon as the vessel
could return from the voyage south.
