For the Bossief Banner
That Night In May.

A flashing light, the dancers bright
Like meteors floating thro' the air,
The tender hue, of eyes so blue,
The golden CLEAN of sunny hair,
The melting beams, like half known dreams,
From liquid wells of wine-brown eyes,
And in and out they roamed about,
While red lights flashed in midnight skies,
The dreamy glide, while side by side,
True hearts beat in union sweet,
The music deep. The echoes keep
Sounding thro' my heart cen now,
We sat and gazed on all the maze, :
OF beauty and each cleaning brow,
Each graceful form, each sunny arm,
We saw while in the shade.
Yes, in the shade the dancers made,
Standing t'wix us and the light,
We spoke of things too deep. 1t brings
saddened memory of that night,
One we saw with brow of snow,
And crimson roses on her breast,
gliding dream to me did seem,
Oh lovely girl so richly blest. ~
Another too with eyes so blue,
/ love them better far than all,
Yet half in dream, 1t does now seem,
The light, the dancers, and the ball,
Outside the roar came DER and DER,
The storm was full and deep,
/ trembled too while flashing thro',
The lightning on each face did leap
In livid hue, while dancing too
In stormy skies did radiant keep,
Inside all light, oh! dancers bright,
oh eyes that gazed on me,
| turned aside my fears to hide,
And thought, Eternity
Seemed all too near--a strange thought too
Coming in the ballroom bright.
All! Cara mia thou vert fair,
Thine eyes were full of melting light,
And sweetheart too, with eyes so true,
We watched them all with glee,
I'll n er forget, nor even yet
That night in lovely May.
Farewell we said, and half in dread
Lest ever more to part,
And thro and thro' the echoes go
Like lingering chords deep in my heart,
And down lifes stream, like some gold dream
The memory of that night,
viii ever be, and / can see,
The dancers and the light.

u On last Friday evening be-
tween 7 and 8 o'clock the Clubhouse
on Capt. B. r. Nash's place, near
Rocky Mount, was destroyed by fire.
Capt. Nash thinks the burning of
his Clubhouse was the work of an
inccndiary. He had been in the lint
room, where the fire originated,
about 8 o'clock, and everything was
as usual, and about dark one of his
hands passed near it and there was
no sign of fire. The Clubhouse and
cotton press were insured. He lost
about $50 in lint cotton, seed cotton
and cotton seed on which there was
no insurance. His press caught on
IRE, but he succeeded in saving it.

The Results of Yesterdays Games at White
Bear and Elsewhere.
Sc. Paul Us. Bon Cftu.

About 400 people gathered at Barnes
park, White Bear, yesterday afternoon, to see
the exhibition game of base ball between the
st. Paul and Bay City clubs. The crowd
would ordinarily have been much larger, but
the Fourth had so recently passed, and the
weather was so comfortable in the city, that
people were not much on a stir. st. Paul
put its weakest team in the field, Aber being
in the box and Graves catching his delivery.
Camel played at right field, Barnes at center
and Calvin at left. The infield was as usual.
Hunter, Foster and both of the Nettletons
were Off In the last few innings Barnes
caught in Graves place, though for what
reason we cannot fathom. The game was
loosely played by both teams, Bay City get
ting six errors and st. Paul ten. The batting
was terrific. Aber was hit for fifteen
hits, with total of twenty-five, which, con-
sidering that Bay City welded the willow in
but eight innings, is remarkable Watkins
was hit hard, but nearly all the balls dropped
into the hands of the outield. Every man
in the Bay City team put out somebody, and
more were retired on flies than otherwise. 1t
is safe to say that neither Aber nor Watkins
will pitch in the championship games begin
ming on Tuesday. AS we limited above, the
marked feature of the game was the number
of errors scored by each team. The next
most notable feature was the hit of Foutz
over the left field fence for home run
Crotty went to bat four times and made three
two-base hits. For the home team Foley per-
formed an unusual feat for him, hitting safe
three times out of four at the bat, one of the
hits being two-bagger. Calvin and Aber
each pounded the ball for a single, and sur
prised both themselves and the audience, for
if there was anything that everybody felt
reasonably certain of it was that neither of
these would make base hit. Werrick did
better than usual too. He struck out but
once, and popped up three flies. Following
is the score:

Crushed by Freight Car Wheels.

Last evening freight train No. II, on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, due
in the lower yard in this city at 9:55, came
in on time, and the yard and train hands
were engaged in switching out the St. Paul
freight and coupling the Minneapolis cars
for immediate departure to that city, when
Clarence. Hinkley, brakeman of the train,
while signaling the engineer and running
backward to close up the cars, hit his heel
upon the end of bit of rail lying alongside
the track, which caused him to
fall with his left leg over
the rail, which was fearfully crushed
between the knee and the ankle. He was
taken up and carried to the union depot by
the other train hands, they first having tied
a handkerchief compress above the knee to
stop the flow of blood, and from thence was
taken in a hack to st. Joseph Hospital where
Drs. Quinn and Murphy Immediately ampu-
tated the limb. Huxley is native of
Massachusetts, about 90 years of age, of
robust temperament and it is thought he will
survive the amputation. His run was from
Lacrosse to Minneapolis on freight train II
and he has no wife or family.

northeastern League.

The contest in the Northwestern league is
growing daily more interesting at both ends
of the list. Grand Rapids still retains the
position Of honor, but only by hairs
breadth, Quincy having won five games
during the week, stepped in between Bay
City and victory, and is within one game of
equality with Grand Rapids Probabilities
point strongly to an interesting fight between
these clubs for leadership during the week.
Quincy seems now to have the advantage,
having to meet Fort Wayne on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, whereas Grand
RAPIDS tries conclusions with the stronger
Peoria team. On Saturday the leaders meet,
and it is reasonably certain that the teams
win be on even terms on that date. Sagi-
nav is on an equal footing with Bay City,
but viewing the matter from recent deve lop-
mepts, the latter will be ahead at the end of
the week. Saginaw plays in Saltwater and
Bay City in st. Paul, However, few days
NAV bring about surprising results. St.
Paul will have some new players, and these
NAV put a new face on coming events. The
Terre Haute nine has had its strongest week
since the opening of the season, taking four
of the six games played and giving st. Paul
undisputed possession of the small end of
the list. The contest for this position, how
ever, is by no means closed, and will con-
tinue to furnish entertainment to sporting
readers throughout the season. Although
Minneapolis retains ninth place it is suspect
ed of being jealous of st. Paul's position,
and fortnight's play may bring our neigh
Dor at the Falls the prize. The result to date
ia tabulated below:

The Columbus team met the arch enc
my, the Metropolitans, last week, and Won
two games, the third of the series being
postponed on account of rain. This result
places Columbus in the van, Metropolitan
being only one game behind, and Louisville
third, but two games away from the leader.
st. Louis, which was expected to be leading
at the end of the week, has fallen away. win
ming but one game of four, and is tied with
Cincinnati for fourth place. Baltimore is
sixth, with Athletic on its heels. The clubs
at the other end OF the list are in exactly the
positions of week ago. Toledo has done
the best work and Washington the worst,
having lost all Of its five games. Following
is the tabulated result:

The MississipDi Floater.

On Saturday afternoon at half past three
o'clock, Martin Goldfish discovered the body
of man floating in the river above the rail-
road bridge in a very discolored and swollen
condition, and 30 much so as to be difficult
of recognition. He had on q good coat, pants
and boots and paste diamond shirt stud.
In his pockets were found spike such as
lumbermen sometimes use to attach to their
boots, as also a bunch of keys to which was
attached tag lettered ''Wm. keenan,, Water
town, Wis. Coroner Quinn was summoned
and had the body carried to the miserable
old morgue on Cedar street in
the rear of the county jail,
which be it said for the credit
of the city is soon to be replaced with a
suitable Institution of the kind. The coroner
at once telegraphed to Minneapolis and to
Watertown, Wis, and up to l O'Clock this
morning had received no reply. He think ks
the body that of a lumberman or saw-mill
hand who accidently lost his footing while
floating logs. He has not decided when to
hold an inquest hoping TO hear from some
one who may identify the remains.

He knows further that the only thing which
stands between him and his vindication is
the opinion of a New York politician named
Arthur, that the acts of
congress by which he was
indicated are unconstitutional This judic-
ial opinion on the part of lately discharged
employe Of the New York custom house
ought not to cause the General any unpleas-
ant feelings. He can afford to
wait another year or two
until the situation has changed, so that the
belief of the people and the action of con-
gress will not be likely to be vitiated by the
unfavorable opinion of their legal validity
entertained by a fourth rate Republican poll
tician.
