THEIR FIRST VICTORY.
The Local Ball Club Defeats the Port Hurons
Baseball Elsewhere, and Notes.

The Indianapolis baseball club achieved their
first victory on Saturday, in a very interesting
game with the professional club from Port HUI
ron. The visitors played very loosely, and made
many bad errors while the home club did much
better. In fact the boys made very creditable
exhibit, and at several points in the game they
were enthusiastically applauded for brilliant
plays. Dorgan did spendidly behind
the bat, and Donnelly's pitching
was very effective. The so-caled
"official score" which is given below, credits
O'Leary with but one error, but he made at least
three, and finally went to left field, Peoples
coming in to short stop, which he played for all
there was in it. Andrews at first base also did
good work, and the batting of the entire team
was good. They will play with the Port Hurons
again this afternoon, and an inter ing contest
~ expected. The following was the score of

A New Art of Acting.

An electrical discovery has been made
which promises to revOiutionize the
whole art of acting and to make the
stage perfect picture of life. 1t has
been found that the electrode, when
brought in contact with various nerves
of the human system, produces facial
contortions, in one case stimulating fear,
in another disgust, and so on through
the entire range of expression. Photo
graphs illustrating this wonderful dis
covery were exhibited at the recent Mu-
mich ExhibI ioD
The application of this to the stage is
manifest. The stage manager or prompt
er will sit within sight of the actors and
with insight into their facial necessities.
Electrodes carefully fitted to the ner-
vous systems of each actor will be con-
nected by wires to key board in front
of the manager, who will press the little
knobs as he may wish to illustrate the
various passions of the human heart.
1t will require some judgment and
knowledge, but the expense of hiring
ten competent tragedians or comedi-
ans might be saved by substituting nine
g sticks to be vivifed by one we'll paid
prompter.
Li7eliness of action might be intro
duced by carrying the system still fur
ther and applying the electrodes to
the arms and legs of the actors. The
irate father could then kick his daugh-
ter's sutton down stairs with appalling
realism, and fight among the supes
could be made lively and interesting.
Nay more, electrodes could be fas-
tened to the arms of the chairs In the
auditorium in such way as to commun.
icate to the average s. funny bone" in
each spectators elbow, and when an
actor made joke, the audience could
thus be made not only to see it, but to
explode in simultaneous cacchination.
The invention is to be earnestly COM
mend9d, not only for certain actresses
and actors whom we will not be so I'M
kind as to mention, but also to the man
agement of certain negro minstrels and
spectacular dramas whose Jokes have
become threadbare and need galvanizing.
Like the dead frog. The world is pro-
crossing.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 25.-
The little village of Branchdale, Pa, for
some time past has been excited over
the conduct of the Rev. 81. w. Meyers,
a minister of the Methodist denomina-
ton, who, though a married man,
showed a decidedly open affection for
Mrs. Ralph Price, "a young woman aged
%, the mother of two children, and whose
husband was in Chicago. The scandal
finally became so pronounced that
the matter was brought before congre-
gationaI meeting and the attention of the
presiding elder called to che fact. Mrs.
Prices relatives also sept for her hus-
band, and he came east. The family
breach seems to have been healed, and
Price and his wife lived happily together
for several months. Last week, with
her husbands consent, she prepared to
pay visit to her mother at Phila-
delphia. She first sent her two children
away under the care of nurse, and the
next day departed herself. The chill
dren arrived safely at their destination,
bat the mother did not. A note which
she had left behind was soon found. In
it she said that she had gone away with
bu0 mau sue lONSu USot, anu SAOuAu
never return. The Rev. Mr.. Meyers
had gone with her, and the couple were
traced to Pottsville, and there lost sight
of. The elopement has been kept quiet,
but these meager details escaped to day
when Price publicly announced that
he would no longer be respon-
sible for debts contracted by his wife.
The families are highly respected, and
are plunged in grief by tie affair. The
Rev. Mr.. Meyers was formerly stationed
at Point Carbon and Minersville, and is
a preacher of some ability. He left be-
hind him a wife and six children. 1t is
believed the guilty pair have gone to
Chicago where Mrs. Price made num-
Der of acquaintance during her resi-
dence there with her husband prior to
her meeting with Meyers.

Accidents 10 a Royal Family.
tFron the London Truth,


A whole series of unlucky accidents
have lately befallen the Austrian i'm
perial FIRMLY. Just as the Empress
Elizabeth was passing on horseback over
small bridge which spans q torrent in
the Syrian. Alps, near Murzsteg,
plank gave way under her horses hoof.
The animal stumbled and threw his rider
over his head. On the very same day,
at the same hour, Archduke William,
brother of Archduke Albert, while sup
erintending the cavalry exercises at the
Camp of Bruck, was taken Ill. and fell in
dead faint off lis horse; and at the
same moment the Archduchess Clotilda,
wife of Archduke Joseph, who had been
to visit a girls school near Buda-Pesth,
having just stepped out of the house,
accompanied by the young girls, heard
a frightful noise behindher. She turned,
and found that the roof of the school
room had just fallen In. What inter
probation will superstitious people place
upon these condolences? Mine would
be that the Archduchess Clotilda is
luckier that her relations.
