A CARD

To The IIoters of Alexandria City:
The executive committee of the republican par
ty of Alexandria city having in charge the mall
agement of the campaign here set forth to you
that they have conducted this canvass with NAL
ice towards none" and in the spirit of an enlig
ened conservatism whose full duty Is accomplish
ed in presenting to your consideration the true
issues of the campaign as expounded by the re-
publican candidates. The republican party nor
its candidates are to be held responsible either di
rectly or Indirectly for the Objectionable bloody
shirt utterances at last nights meeting. That
meeting was not held under the auspices Of the
committee or Central club, but was arranged, or
ganzed and concocted by individuals discon-
nected with the party organization, who are re-
sponsible only to themselves and the public for
their action or statements. Let no citizen who
believe, that the true interests of our country
would be best promoted by the election of Blaine
and Logan be severed from his duty by statements
unsanctioned by the party but made over its
most solemn objection and protest.

CHICAGO, April 26.-The statements tele-
graphed from New York to the effect that the
t%ripartite pool had dissolved, is without any
foundation. The roads in the alliance re-
main on amicable terms, and the statement
is made authoritively, that no differences
have yet arisen in any way threatening the
pool. The differences between the Union
Pacific and the Chicago, Burlington 81 Quin-
cy, it has since been learned, came very
near resulting in an open declaration of war
after the general conference yes
terday. 1t was left to these two
roads to decide upon the division of local
competitive business in Nebraska. pending
the signing of the general compact between
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and all
the roads in the western Trunk line a~ssocia-

certain special rates on Nebraska business.

but discovered it was unable to carry out the
agreement without the concurrence of its
allies east Of Omaha. For its apparent lack
of faith the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
officials quit the conference, and
negotiations appeared at an
end. The western trunk roads held a meet
NO at II O'Clock this forenoon, and agreed
20 abolish the special rates in question, and
lake care of all outstanding contracts. Upon
this announcement the Chicago, Burlington

Michael Lalier.

During the past week a man in humble
life but a very worthy and honorable citizen
was called hence after an illness of many
months duration. His name was Michael
Lalier, and for twenty-one years he has been
a resident of the city. Honest, faithful and
industrious he filled a niche in the sphere
wherein he moved which was as valuable
and important as that occupied in more
prominent fields of life. He was a most
faithful member of the st. Louis church,
and the attendance and genuine grief at
his funeral showed how greatly he was be-
loved. His pastor paid a feeling and fitting
tribute to his memory, which made a deep
impression upon those present.
TIL family have met with such marked
regard that they request the publication of
the following:
To the Editor of the Globe.
The family of Michael Lalier, deceased,

ONE FOR SALTWATER.
The st. Paul and Saltwater Base Ball
Clubs First Meeting.
st. Paul Defeated by Fairly Good Play on
the Other Side and Bad Play
On Ours.

Saltwater won the game yesterday and she
has well deserved her victory. Her plucky
citizens, at the close of last season, deter
mined that their city should be well repre-
sented in the Northwestern league, and they
at once went to work to secure a nine to win
for her Iaurels on the ball field. Her lead
ing men supplied abundant funds and have
given their time and attention to the
matter with the usual result
of such efforts-success. The Saltwater
nine is a really good one, and while in our
opinion inferior to the st. Paul club still it
win play good ball and furnish lots Of sport
to its hackers during the season now near at
hand
The game yesterday was won by lucky
hits on the part of Saltwater, and three cost
ly errors on the part of the home nine,
an overthrow by Foster from
center field yielding three runs
to the winning team and another overthrow
by Aber yielded two runs more. Olin's err
rors at second, while inexcusable, were not
very costly. Those Of Foster and ODER were
fatal. On the part of the home nine the
playing of Hunter at right was only passable.
He gave a base hit to Pickett by standing
with his arms folded while a ball fell within
thirty feet Of him, which Foster had
raced half way across the field
for and nearly reached. Olin, at second,
was unfortunate, two actual errors and two
errors of judgment marking his play. At
the bat he did nothing. O'Brien at third let
a daisy cutter through his legs, but otherwise
did well, both at the bat and in the field.
Foster took a fly nicely in the field, but
ruined the game by his overthrow and by let
ting a ball race between his legs. Barnes
played a ~faultless game both in the field and
at the bat. Clapp played well at
first but gave two base hits to Saltwater by
falling to field two balls which he clearly
should have attempted to do, as they were
out of Olin's reach. CAMEL was the ''baby''
he caught an elegant game without an er-
ror, save one passed ball which did not affec
the result. He has the stuff In him for a
fine catcher. ODER was hit for thirteen
bases in eight innings. If he had been bet
ter supported there ought not to have been
scored against him more than ten hits; too
many for a first-class man. Merrick at short
scored an error, but did some nice work and
made a pretty base hit.
On the part of the Saltwater nine Horan's
catching was only medium. Pickett at first
played a good game, and Fries and Fowler
played the fields nicely. The balance of the
nine did average work.
The lesson of the game is that the st. Paul
nine, while individually strong, does not
play well together and is very weak in pitch
ers. If Manager Hunter expects to win
games he must work himself a little more
than he seems inclined to do, and handle
the leather himself in hard games.

GARDEN LOTS.
A Profitable Business in Supplying
the City Market.

One of the most profitable branches of
business for those who are adapted to its pro-
s%ecution is that Of gardening for a great city.
A few acres intelligently and industriously
cultivated will produce garden truck, ex-
ceeding in profit and value a large
farm. One great difficulty in
making this garden farming profitable lies in
the distance gardeners are obliged togo from
the city to secure land. To meet just such
a demand, Mr.. j. A. Sabin, who OWNS a 200
acre farm within three-quarters of an hour
drive from the city, has decided to plat it
into five acre garden lots and put
them in the market, He will have from 30
to 40 Of these lots for sale, which he will
offer for 81, 200 each on very liberal time and
terms. The land is of a sandy loan, and
located near lake Phalen, and admirably
adapted for the purpose named. 1t will be a
fine opportunity for gardeners.

Seriously Cut.

About one O'Clock this morning a man was
found on Leach street, just off west Seventh,
who had been set upon by three or four fell
lows, knocked down and cut int very seri-
Gus manner. When he was found he was
so weak from the loss Of blood that he could
not stand up, and he grew continually
weaker, He was placed on a stretcher and
taken to the city hospital. 1t is very doubt
full if he can recover There was no oppor-
tunity to examine him to see how and where
he was cut. The sidewalk was all covered
with blood. The man was so weak that he
could give no account of the matter.
