THE PLAYERS.
The groups about the table made an interest

tons on the table by his card, and transferred one
quickly to the card wheh a number was called
which he found On his card Their eager intent
faces got ghastly hue from the dim fiickering
light. Along the table one could see as the
game progressed three or four who had made
rows OF four buttons, and who could hardly re-

piles on the table. new collection would be
made, and soon the eager faces would be again
bent over their cards. There were men whose

BLAINE'S BIG BOOM.
Blaine, the Historian, More Successful
Than Blaine, the Politician.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The develop
ments of the past few days have shown what
has been suspected all along that Mr.. Blaine
is really the most active and perhaps the
most formidable candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination in the field. A good many
people believe him stronger now than
ever before. His course in retiring
apparently from the political field and omit
ting all visible efforts to secure nomination
has really strengthened him. 1t was new
game, but one at which Mr.. Blaine seems to
have been more successful than in the old
one of running bureau and making an
open fight for the nomination Instead of
telegraph wires in his house, and strikers in
every state and at every convention, he
lives quietly, seeing few people, is
seldom seen on the streets and working with
such secrecy that few people can realize the
attention he is giving to the subject, and the
fact that this uprising for him in Pennsyl-
vania, New York and other parts of the
country is apparently spontaneous and with
no effort on his part is having marked eff
feet in influencing others in his behalf:
Really JAS G. Blaine, the historian, seems
to be more formidable candidate for the
presidency than was Jas. G. Blaine, the poll
tician.

Park and Boulera,.d Projects.

A regular meeting of the park commits
sioners was held yesterday afternoon. DR..
Chute was elected to succeed j. r. Everard,
who rendered his resignation.
III. w. s. Cleveland, the landscape archi-
tect, favored the meeting with an interesting
address in reference to the various park
projects in contemplation, especially the
Lake street boulevard.
Commissioners Austin, Bracket and Rob-
erts were appointed a special committee to
further consider this parkway as well as the
Powder Horn improvement.
Messrs. Bracket, Austin & Chute were
appointed committee to consider the COM
plants of property owners in the sixth ward.
Messrs. Roberts and Bassett were APP
pointed to consider and report on the pro-
priety of the board employing surgeon to
attend to the special work of the commission.
The Security bank made an offer of 9915
per cent and accrued interest for SOS, 900
worth of bonds, but as the commissioners
are in no present need of funds, the propo-
sition was not accepted.
A committee was appointed to confer with
Mr. Cleveland in view of securing his serv-
ices for the ensuing year, and to fix his sala-
~. The secretary and Messrs. Comstock
and Nimocks were instructed to report the
cost of printing the proceedings of the board
during the past year. Adjourned.

SPRING FLOODS.
In Louisiana, Arkansas, Maine and
Massachusetts.


ST. LOUIS, April 19-Gen. Beckwith, who
is in charge of the distribution of government
supplies to the flood sufferers on the lower
Mississippi river, received dispatches from
St. Joseph, Waterproof, Delta, Hard Times,
Wolf Island, and other points, that there is
great suffering among the people at those
places, and food is needed at once. Gen.
Beckwth has ordered supplies
purchased, and will also send
additional rations from here. Gen Mag
mum, of Helena, Ark, also telegraphs, that
there is great suffering in the Sank canal re
gion of the st. Francis river, and he has
been directed to purchase food, and charter
a steam boat to distribute it, The govern
ment steamer Humphreys, has also been or
dered to that section to distribute supplies
LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 19.-Heavy rains
in the state the past two days have done
much damage to railroad and other property
Nearly all the small streams are again very
high and overlooking the low lands. Owing
to washouts no trains on the Iron Mountain
railroad 90 farther south than Arkadelphia,
and the bridge over Brier creek, fourteen
miles south of Pine Bluff, on the Texas mar
row gauge railroad is washed away. Many
portions of the prairie country north of Du-
Wallis Bluff, on the Memphis road, present
the appearance of lakes, vast sheets of water
covering the surface for miles.
New YORK, April 19.-Reports from New
England state the floods are about stationary
although rain is still falling at intervals in
some portions. Much anxiety is felt at Aims
worth Me. A dam gave way, letting 10000
feet of lumber through, which lodged against
bridges below, and great anxiety is felt for
their safety. The Connecticut river, at Hart
ford is nineteen feet above low water mark.

M1NNEApoL1s ADJUSTMENTS.
The Grand.

The week was opened at the Grand by the
Madison Square company in the great sue
cess "Esmeralda," The play failed to draw
over average audiences, although the compa-
ny was exceptionally strong, and the play is
one of the prettiest on the stage. Those who
attended any of the four performances were
highly pleased, and speak in enthusiastic
terms of both the beauties of the drama and
the neat, smooth and effective style in which
it was produced
Wanted, Partner" followed, filing the
week. 1t is musical play, without an es-
pecial plot, but is neat, and in fact unique.
Robert Graham gave decidedly clever imper
sonations of Lawrence Barrett and Henry
Irving. The whole is travesty, and is en-
joyabIe, especially as it is in the hands OF
genuine artists. The attendance has not
been large, although profitable.
Tomorrow night Willie Edouin's company
will appear at the Grand in the new
play, "a Bunch of Keys from the
pen of that celebrated Boston
humorist, Charles H. Hoyt. The play is re-
puted one of the foremost productions ever
put upon the boards, and the company,
which needs no introduction, it being the
we'll known Sparks combination, is ex-
cellent.
On Thursday evening the irrepressible
Irish comedian, Pat Rooney, will introduce
his specialties, filing the dates of the week.

GEN. SWAIM'S DEFENSE.
He Lies or the Bateman Charges were
All False.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 19.-The let
ter of A. E. Bateman to the secretary Of
war, preferring charges against Gen.
Swain, having been referred to Gen. Swain
by the secretary of war for remark and for
such application as he might desire to make,
was returned to the secretary of war by Gen.
Swain with the following statement:
Respectfully returned to the secretary of
war. 1 had bank account with Bateman 81
Co., and besides, l loaned them So, 900 at
six per cent. interest, for which they gave
me an instrument reading, due D. G.
Swain or order five thousand dollars, value
received. Bateman IL Co., Washin gton, D. C.,
July Is, 1882" This is negotiable
prOmissory note according to all the author
tiles on the subject, and was transferred in
due course of business and payment de-
manded but refused. Bateman Il Co. claim
ed set offs to the note, the correctness of
which denied. L endeavored to effect a
settlement with them or refer the matter to
an arbitrator, but without effect. The note
was put in suit, but they now agree to refer
the whole subject to an arbitrator, and, with
that view, the suit has been withdrawn.
The note, or due bill, as it is incorrectly
termed, is now in possession of
Bright, Humphrey 81 Co., endorsers
thereof. In regard to fraudulent pay
vouchers the facts are as follows; Lieut.. Col.
A. 2. Morrow, at one time q member Of
General Sherman's staff, and a comparative
stranger to me, came to my office in COM
pany with another officer, and requested me
to advance him several months pay on his
pay accounts. l told him | did not do that
kind of business, but in a friendly way re-
ferred him to brokers in the city doing such
business, and named Bateman q Co. with
others. / may have given him Il note of in
PRODUCTION to that firm. / did not know for
some time afterwards that Bateman " Co.
had advanced money to Col. Morrow on his
pay accounts. 1t will be seen that | had no
concern or interest in these pay accounts
whatever, and all did was a friendly act of
introducing Il brother officer to those who
were in the habit of doing what | could not
do for him. l have no knowledge of any
other pay account transaction with Bateman
IL Co. The only request l have to make is,
that this statement may receive the same
prompt publicity that the within false ac-
cusations received.

Suit for Damages.

An action for s4,95O was begun in the
United States circuit court yesterday by
Rogers & Crosby, the attorneys in behalf of
James j. Hogan against the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul RAILROAD company. 1t is
alleged in the complaint that the plaintiff
was in the employ of said corporation as a
section hand; that on January %, 1880, at a
point near Hastings, he was instructed to
propel a hand car, and
that while so employed the car
came in contact with a dog which
INSTRUCTED the track, the result being
that the car was thrown from the track
while crossing a bridge and the plaintiff was
precipated down an embankment. 1t is
further alleged that before reaching the dog
the plaintiff warned his foreman of the OBJ
strucGon but that the latter paid no attention
to his remark and refused to stop the car;
also that the accident was the result of sheer
negligence, and that plaintiff thereby sus-
tanned serious and permanent injuries. His
damages are laid at the sum named.

the sDorts-A !soft-G1o,e Contest

Yesterday afternoon pugilistic encounter
with soft gloves took place in Schaefer's hall
South Minneapolis, between two brawny
coopers, named Voegel, alias "Jumbo,'' and
Rauler, in the presence of about one hun
dred coopers, who assembled to see the fight
Itappears that for sometime past the respective
friends of the contestants were Boosting of
the physical prowess and scientific superori-
ty of their favorite man, and yesterday their
heroes met in the arena and slashed each
other in excellent style. Prof. Donaldson
acted as referee, and the boxers were attend
ed to by two coopers, their seconds. They
fought thirteen rounds in fifty-eight minutes,
according to the Marquis of Queensbnry
rules. Vogel was the smaller man, and had
the worst of it from the start, but being en-
dowed with physical endurance and ''grit"
he held out until his friends prevailed upon
him to give the contest after the thirteenth
round. Rauler drew the claret from the
nasal or jaw of his antagonist in the first
round, and sent him to grass several times
during the fight. The coopers were quiet
and orderly during tho fray, and are now all
satisfied that Rauler is the ''better man." A
prize of 500 was given to the victor

For the first week under the present man

has been extensive. The attraction has been
in the entertainment furnished by the

confined almost exclusively to men, as ladies
evidently mistook the burlesque for broad
and vulgar trayestie. The eomely faces and
