pcrched upon the banner Of our base ball
club in the contest on Monday at Waldorf
between it and the Prince Georges club The
game was begun at o'clock and lasted
about an hour, being cut short after the
fourth inning by the rain, but even in that
short space of time our home club proved
greatly too mnch for their Waiting friends
defeated them by a score Of 90 to s. Consd
cradle interest was manifested in the match,
ana much larger crowd witnessed the con
test than was present in Bryantown at the
N 'tch here two weeks previous Many Of the

The Pensioners Raiders Turned

The Pensioners Raiders Turned
Back With the of Mr. Sherman and
half dozen Eastern Republican Senators the
Democrats Monday voted down the scanda-
lous arrears of pension amendments to the
Mexican Pension bill, by which it was pro.
posed in view of the approaching election to
add at once S24s 600 600 to the government 5
liabilities, and open the way to a vastly larg-
err waste OF the public money in the same
way in the neAr future. It Is noticeable that
at least three Senators-Shermt Eimands
and Hawey-who were Baine's rivals at
Chicago, voted against this reckless campaign
expenditure. There Is significance in the
fact that the breach between the East and
West is still further widened by hills which,
ke this srrear bill, art too strongly parti-
san and unwise for the Eastern Republican -
Is the schism to be permanent

isiana to reduce the wages of the hands EN-
ployed on their plantations A general re-
duction OF IS per cent. is contemplated, and

ENGLANDs ACCOUNT CURRENT.
The Debt in Better Condition than in
Many Years.

LONDON, April 26.-Hugh c. Childers,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced
the budget in the House of Commons last
night. The revenue for 1888 amounted to
EST ,209, lS4 and the expenditures to fs6,-
100000. The beer duty alone exceeded
the estimate by e2OO, 900, whilst the spirit
duty fell off. The income tax produced
t453, 900 beyond the estimate. The national
debt up to the present time has been re-
duced by f12, 900, 900. Cheers 1t is now
lower than since 1911. while the
interest is lower than since 1905.
Cheers. The national debt was
reduced during 1888 by 9S,500,000.
The estimated expenditure for the cur
rent financial year is fS5, ,292, 900, against
tS5, 1854, 900 during the previous year.
Mr.. ChilderS said that it was difficult to
forecast the revenue for 1884. Trade and
agriculture were unsatisfactory, but the
working classes were pretty comfortably
OF. Pauperism was declining. The reye-
nue. was estimated at fS5, 100000. against
Ell, ,S66, 900 last year. In connection with
the post Office estimates, he was sorry to say
that after eight months experience the par
GELS post had produced only 915J,0 900,
against an estimate of 9340,000. 1t was,
therefore, proposed to defer the system Of

duce the tax on carriage, which would
absorb 100000. The remaining f243. 600
was not too much to keep on hand. Ii is
proposed to coin new half sOvereigns con-
tanning ten per cent. less gold, thus effect

put out at interest will suffice to main

HENRY CURRY HANGED.
He Dies Fearlessly-StOry of the Grim
which Cost HIM His Life

AAN Dlba J-GiOIX Oh InG NflIne
which Cost HIM His Life
ATLANTA, GA, April 25.-Henry Curry
(colOred) was hung at Monroe, Walton
county, to-day at noon, by Sheriff John
AmmOns, for murder. The execution
took place in an enclosure, put up for the
occasion, about half mile from Monroe,
and was conducted quietly. Five hundred
people from the surrounding county
witnessed the affair. His neck was not
broken by the fall, and death was caused
by strangulatiOn. Since sentence was
passed upon him he has been confined in
Fulton prison, where he remained until
yesterday morning, when he was taken
to Monroe. This afternoon the remains
were brought to Atlanta and given to his
sister, who resides on Fort street. Curry
acted boldly and indifferently while going
to the gallOWs, mounting it with a cigar
in his mouth, and throwing it away while
the Sheriff adjusted the black cap. lie
said nothing of note, but stated that he
was ready to die, and had no fears Offuture
punishment. The crime was committed
in October, 1882, and the victim was
negro man. The murderer and mur-
dered man both lived in Walton county,
near Monroe, and up to few days pre-
vious to the killing were warm frieisds.
The deed was committed at night, and,
though not premeditated, was done in
cold blood. Caroline Harris, a negro
woman, lived near Monroe, and her home
was pleasant place for Curry, who spent
the greater part of his idle time i'm the
woman's company. One night, in the
early part Of October, Curry ascertained
that the woman and the man were play
ing him false. He confronted them, but
met with a strong denial. TheneXt night
he watched the place closely and, about
IL O'Clock, went into the house, where he
found the man, and seiZing an ak crept to
the bedside, where he let the sharp blade
fall upon the head of his sleeping victim,
cutting the head nearly off. The
next day the news of the crime
went abroad, but no clue to
the perpetrators could be secured,
as the woman was nearly dead from
wound which Curry gave her at the same
time. Curry left Walton and came to At
lanta, where he remained a short while.
He then went to South Carolina. Several
months after the killing Caroline Harris
moved to Atlanta. Captain Couch soon
ascertained that she was in the city and
believed that he could find the man by
watching the woman. The Captain soon
ascertained that she was receiving letters
regularly. In October last, Just one wear
after the crime, PatrOlman Reid ar
rested Ella Overton, a negro girl who
was living in the same house with Caro-
line Harris. From her Couch learned that
letter had been received by Caroline
from Curry that morning. The Captain
secured the letter and ascertained that
Curry was travelling through South Caro-
lima with Sells Circus. A telegraphic
message resulted in Curry's arrest. His
trial resulted in conviction. This is the
second negro hung in Walton county by
Sheriff Ammons in the past six months.

Redress to be Secured, No Matter What
Obstacles may be Presented.
TORONTO, April 25.-The GLOBE, in an
editorial on the discomfort in the North
west, says: ''There is still danger Ofserious
trouble in Manitoba and the Northwest.
The oppression of the tariff, the oppression
of railroad monopoly and the great in
justice done by the disallOwance of pro-
vincial railway charters and the injury
done to all interests by the mismanage-
ment t0f the lands, have produced feel
ing of irritation and determination to
obtain redress, of which the resolution
passed by the Manitoba Legislature is the
first serious outcome. If redress be
refused at Ottawa, or if the terms offered
be unsatisfactory, they are resolved to
carry their complaints and demands to
the foot Of the throne. The Colonial office
will no doubt be unwilling to interfere,
except as a mediator, but the Imperial
Government will not like to learn that a
community growing upon the United
States frontier, and so far even from the
Canadian centre Of the government, has
serious geievances and is unable to obtain
redress
