FARcIcAL AFFAIR.

fAhClSAL All alhs
The match game Of tase ball be-
tween the Mexico and the Louisiana
boys at Red Stocking paEk, Tuesday,
was Q farcical affair. Ii was claimed
by the Louisianas that the rulings Of
the umpire were unfair towards
them. When the difficulty arose the
score stood 8 to 8 in favor Of Mexi-
co. From interviews with our clti-
zens who were present the general
expression appears to be that the
Mexicos were hardly treated just as
guests ought to have been. This
farcical ending Of the game was
greeted with much disappointment,
by the large crowd who had paid
their admission fee and carriage fare
to the grounds with tlle expectation
Of being amused, and they viii no,
likely be caught again. When the
people pay their money Ut such exhi.
billions it is due them that they shall

A MAS1Ao,s FREAK.
Ladies' Knocked Down and frightened by
an Unknown Man.

New York Dial.
Last evening the New York manager of a
Massachusetts life insurance company was leis-
urely walking up the east side of Sixth avenue,
near Twenty-thir street, arm in arm with a
friend from South Africa. A few yards in
front Of them were walking a lady of apparently
forty years of age, and clinging afectionately to
her arm was an extraordinarily beautiful girl of
sixteen years. They were chatting and laugh
ing merrily. They carried two or three little
parcels, and from time to time stopped for a
brief examination of the Observation-Disclosures
shop windows.
Suddenly a man of about thirty years rushed
rudely past the two gentlemen, and, catching up
with the two ladies near Twenty-fourth
street, he went right between them,
and. placing his right hand on the throat of the
elder and his left on the throat of the younger.
he flung them apart with a terrible display of
muscular force. The elder lady fell prone on
the pavement, with a scream of alright that
startled everybody on the street for two blocks.
The girl also shrieked, but kept her feet, al
though she had staggered nearly to the car track.
The man turned and stood for an instant with
his arms akimbo, glazing ferociously down at
the PROSTATE woman and laughing harshly. The
two gentlemen were mystifed and perplexed for
an instant, and then they rushed to assist the
lady. They lifted her to her feet, and, without
waiting to do anything more, started for her as
sailant. He started off like a Splinter, and dis
appearing in the gloom of West Twenty fifth
street, got clear away.
Ihe Two gentlemen returned TO the ladleS ana
found them nervous and very much frightened.
The large crowd which had gathered gradually
dispersed as the inner circle recognized the gen
tlemen as the ones who had first gone to the
assistance of the ladies. The gentlemenescorte
the ladies to the elevated railway station, where
they started for their home on West Eighteenth
street. They were mother and daughter.
Did you ever see that man before9' asked the
gentleman from the Cape.
Yes" eagerly said the girl. "We saw him
about half an hour ago. 1t was very strange.
Mamma and I had just got through talking
about it. We saw him at Nineteenth street and
Sixth avenue. A welldressed lady was
walking down the avenue when he came running
along and put out his foot and tripped her. She
fell awful hard, ri light on her face, and could not
get up until she was helped by a gentleman. |
think it hurt her very much. The man stopped
and laughed at her. When the crowd came he
ran away
we concluded he was crazy, said the mother.
when I saw his terrible face and knew what
had thrown me down, l was terribly frightened
| thought he was going to kill me-
The mans height was about five feet eight
inches. He had a tawny, curling mustache,
rather ful-faced, regular features, white, even
teeth, and would have been rather handsome if
it had not been for the cruelty of his facial ex-
preston. He wore a sack suit Of mixed goods,
and was without a collar.

HE SHOOTS WELLS.
A Trade Which Is Not Very HealthfuI, but
the Profits Are Large.

New York Sun.
He was a medium-sized, slender man, about
forty years old, and he had listened to the CON
v~ersation for some time in silence. Business is
very good with me, he said at last. sMy ex-
penses are about $50 a week and my receipts at
least $500. / am a wellshooter."
Whats thatpr asked a bystander.
sYou see, all over the country there are GER
tain wells that supply so many gallons per day.
When the demand exceeds the supply they send
for me. | examine the rock to see whether it's
limestone, sandstone or gneiss, and then lower
what we call a SCATTERING cartridge of dynamite
or nitro-glycerine to the bottom of the well, and
there explode it with the electric spark. The
explosion skaters the rock for yards, and opens
creyices in every direction, so that the flow of
water is doubled, and sometimes quadrupled. /
have just shot a well for a brewery on Ninth
avenue, near Manhattanville. They formerly
had to pump the water. Now the water over
flows, and for the $500 they gave me for the job
they are saving over $4,000 a year"
Why haven't you competitionP
'sThe5 trade isn't healthy. When / started,
four years ago, / had two partners. At Pitts
burg we shot an a~rtesian, but one Of my part
ners happened to drop a cartridge. 1t was
nitro-glycerine, and the building and my part
ner were blown to pieces. My second partner
was a very careful man, but last August he left
me in Philadelphia TO shoot a we'll in German
town. He had two cartridges in his coat peck
cts, and they must have been manufactured
improperly, because just outside the latter place
there was an explosion which broke every pane
of glass for 500 yards. / Unidentified my partner
by the pieces of his watch, but there wasn't
enoughof him leftfor a funeral. / want a part
ner very much, and have advertised for one; but
the moment they learn about the trade, they get
out. Yet it's a perfectly safe trade. Here is a
nitro-glycerine cartridge made after my own
ideas. IF
But at this point the crowd found the air too
oppressive, and left.
