Asa news item the paragraph stating
that Judge Browning had attended the
masonic meeting Monday night was super
ior to any of its fellows. 1t was news, not
only to the masons, but to Judge Browning
also who are convinced now that they were
in trance during the meeting. The judge
was to have been here, that is, all the mem
bers ofthe lodge expected him to be here,
but for some reason or another he hadn't
been invited and was in Benton when he
ought to have been Juggling the trowels, etc,
with the boys here. But Capt, Jno. K.
Thomas, who is assistant grand master of
the state, was present.
The umpire of the match game of base
ball between the Cairo and Paducah clubs
has decided that the score stood nine to
four in favor Of the Paducah club He did
This by going back to "even innings the
Cairo's having made three in the ninth in
ming, which he Topped off. The umpire Is
certainly mistaken in his understanding of
the rules bearing on this point. Had the
Cairo club been ahead at the eighth inning
then it would have been very proper to
ignore the TALES in the ninth; but as the
Cairo's were away behind at the conclusion
of the eighth, the ninth must be admitted.
The TALES of the 9th inning are Topped off
only when the side that made them is
ahead without counting them. This, we
understand, is the rule.
The Paducah News gives very fair
report OF the match game played there be-
tween the Cairo club and the Eckfords Sun
day. In the course of the account it pays
the following compliments to individual
members OF the Cairo Club "Mr. Spen
Ger, who caught for the Cairo boys, is a
good one. He catches well and played
altogether very fine. Owing to his size
Che weighs about two hundred pounds) the
kids dubbed him Jumbo. The Cairo boys
are about the best non professionals who
have visited Paducah for number OF years.
They allowed themselves to get ratified
and suffered a too easy defeat.-Mr. Will
son, of the Cairo club. made the only home
run secured on his side. He lifted two men
off the bases and awoke his club to renewed
action. The Cairo club changed pitchers
on the two last innings with benefit to them
selves. Mr.. Hesly is better pitcher than
the gentleman who pitched before him"
The Argus has been chrome opponent
to every formidable effort to rid the city OF
its constitutional evil, sipewater, 1t was
opposed to pudding when this was attemp'
ted, though when stopped there was every
reason to believe that it was practicable
snd the Argus has since expressed itself in
favor OF it; it was opposed to "Dutch Gap
as a means Of temporary relief, though it
served the purpose for which it was made
thoroughly aud even demonstrated that
water would run up hill" of its own wolf
ton, if only in order to spite the Argus;
and now 1t opposes the high grade, which,
it has not yet dared to deny, will, if &C
compished, remedy every evil Of which
Cairo has had to suffer 1t is just prob
able that, rs in the past, 50 in the future,
