Big Thing. Sr,re.

A CITY ALIVE TO A MEMORABLE OCCASION.
AND DETERMINED TO REACH UNPRECE-
DENTED RESULTS.
The arrangements for the coming Oriole
celebration in Baltimore are certainly upon
scale which aust impress even the most
enthusiastic advocate Of big events. That
the Monumental City is looking up and has
caught the spirit OF enterprise character
istic OF the West is beyond question. What
she does Is no longer by halves, but believ-
iny that which is worth doing at all is
worth doing well, now proposes to outdo
even New Orleans in carnivals, and in
addition present attractions never before
dreamed OF. II Louisville and Cincinnati
have their great expostions, st. Louis her
grand fairs, and Chicago her Sangerfests,
Baltimore has her summer-nights' carn,-
val; and that, too, after fashion which all
Europe could not excel.
II would not be surprise IL Baltimore
soon INDUCED in an Exposition herself,
and when she does it will be business, and
no mistake. Having demonstrated her
ability to surpass everything in the mystic
pageant line ever before attempted, and
educated her thorough-gong, energetic
businessmen in public enterprises, the
chances are that they will naturally seek
new channels for their experience. and
what more likely than a big novelty in the
way OF an Exposition, with features never
before presented?
Already Baltimore is periecting for the
Oriole festivities IN electric programme
which will astonish the natives, and the
Tuesday night OF carnival week promises
remarkable series OF attractions in which
electricity will play most prominent part.
Baltimore was the first city in the Union to
demonstrate the practicability OF the tele-
graph, the first to construct a passenger
railway, and the first to illume her streets
with gas. Now she proposes to lead by a
long way the display OF electric-light ef-
fects--tO be the first to prove its wide
field OF possible operations. The different
electric companies in the country are be-
coming greatly interested I'm the eXhibi-
ton, and will vie with each other in
lending experienced and practical aid
1t will be memorable night, and one
which it will well repay long journey to
enjoy. The Baltimore and Ohio, the city's
great road, is doing everything within the
scope OF its enormous resources to make
the celebration an unprecedented success.
Rates from all stations on its most eXten-
sive system have been put way down, to
half the ordinary fare in fact, and the de
tails perfected for carrying with perfect
satisfaction all who may come, no matter
what the rumber.
The Oriole in Baltimore this year is in
deed to be big thing, and those who en-
JOY the prOverbia hospitality OF the Mon
umental City upon the memorable occasion
will never regret it.

TON.

NIRG1NIAS VERSUS NATIONALS, OF WASHING
ton.
The first game OF the two to take place
between the Nationals, OF Washington
and the Nirginias Was played yesterday
afternoon in the presence Of a large crowd.
Up to the sixth inning the game was hotly
contested by both sides, and each club did
some excellent playing. When the sixth
had been comTleted the score stood to
in favor OF the visitors. The tide turned
in favor OF the Virginias in the seventh in
ming. in which by hard batting they
scored eight runs. Powell took the bat
when there were three men on bases, and
by long bit to left field brought in the
three, at the same time securing q home
run for himself. The visitors were blank
ed in this inning. In the eighth both sides
scored n run, and were blanked in the
ninth. leaving the game 10 to in favor Of
the NirginiaS.
The Nirginias presented an entirely new
battery-Latouche pitcher and Peyt0n
catcher-bOth OF whom acquitted them
selves handsomely.
The Nationals put in a good battery, but
the Virginias were in fine batting trim, and
did some OF the most effective work Of the
season.
The following Is the score by innings:
Inulngs..........1 3 5 6 8 Total.
Nationals.......I o / 0 0 o 0 / 3
The second game will be played this AZ

RICHMONDs VS.. HUNTER, OF PITTSBURGH.
A very pretty game of ball was played
yesterday afternoon at the park at the head
of Clay street between the Richmonds and
the Hunter Club, OF Pittsburgh, Pa. The
PLAYING OF the home nine was remarkably
good, their batting being greatly improved
under the regular practice they have had
Of late. Barefoot and Stratton did the
best work with the bat. The visitors also
did some good playing, and showed that
they were no weak antagonists, notwith-
standing the fact that they only scored
one run while the Richmonds made
ten. 4 larger crowd to witness
their performance might have had the
effect OF stirring them to extra eXertions,
and so produced a different result. They
promise, however, better game this after
noon, now that they are more used to the
grounds. 4 better attendance is expected.
The following is the score by innings:

Destructive storm at Greenville, Texas.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo, June 4-Latest accounts
direct from Greenville, Texas, rega rding the
tornado which struck that town on Saturday
evening are that the residences OF T. Strong,
X. L. Lowenstein, and VIM. Wolfingberger
were torn to pieces but none of the inmates
seriously injured. A large number of houses
resting on blocks and posts were blown
down or twisted off their supports and more
or less damaged, but very few occupants
hurt. A large amount of goods were dam
aged by water being blown into stores, and
awnin gs, fences, ETC., were swept away. All
the churches in the town were badly dam
aged, and in fact but few buildings In the
place entirely escaped injury. Meager ac-
counts from surrounding places say the
storm was severe, and several houses in the
track were blown down and two or three
persons injured. The losses aggregate $50, 900
to 100000, but no individual loss of any
magnitude.
At Bonham the lightning struck a hack
returning from picnic, killing the colored
driver and team and tearing to pieces
the conveyance which six negroes had just
vacated to escape the storm. At Palestine
Samuel Howard, on fishing excursion with
another prominent citizen and two little
boys, were caught in terrible rain and
storm and started for shelter. In the dark
ness Howard walked into the creek, and the
others were unable to save him,
