A Tramp Defends Ladies.

Information is given of sensation.
al occurrence near Wadesboro, n. c..
on Tuesday evening. An Irish tramp
called at house occupied by two la
dies and asked for lodging They al
first refused his request, but finally
agreed to lock him in q closet, where
he was to remain all night. About Ia
o'clock the ladies were walked by a
negro who had come into the room.
He threatened to kill them if they
made an outcry and demanded money,
which one OF the ladies said she would
get. She then went to the closet and
unlocked the door, when the tramp,
who had heard the whole conversa-
ton, sprang out, pistol in hand. The
negro started to run, but the tramp
fired, killing him instantly. Shortly
after it was discovered that the sup
posed negro was white man, who
had blackened himself and invaded the
house. He was recognized as near
neighbor of the ladies.

Explosive Seeds and Trees.
A. Story Told by a Traveller In the
West Indies that May be True
ana May Not.

Speaking about dynamiters,' said
naturalist, Il have brought few
specimens to illustrate that feature in
low life-as there are dynamiters in
the lower animal kingdom a. well as
in the higher, and curious enough,
we might say the same of the vegeta-
BILE kingdom. / remember q few
years ago / was travelling on small
vessel between some of the West India
Islands, and at one place had purchas-
ed number of curious seeds, placing
them under my berth for safe keeping.
/ was sitting at small table, hang
ing on with both hands, in company
with q negro passenger, when there
came an explosion that sounded as if
a barrel of powder had gone Off Some
thing whizzed by my face so close
that | felt the wind, and another pro-
jectile struck me full in the breast.
The negro was not so fortunate. He
uttered loud yell as the sound came,
threw up his hands, and with the
blood squirting from his face, went o.
yer backward with q crash that
brought the skipper and crew. down
the hatch in hurry. We picked him
up, and first he swore / had shot him,
and then that had hit him with a
club, but in a moment he recovered
from his fright and be began to inves-
tigate.
The man. had been struck fairly on
the nose-a blow so powerful that it
was several hours before the hemor-
rhage could be stopped. When rose
from my seat something dropped upon
the cabin floor and | afterward picked
it up, and what do you suppose it
was Nothing but section of one
of the seeds, and they were the explos-
ives. The heat of the cabin had in
some way affected them so that they
went off like cartridges, and as each
was made up of several pieces, it had
somewhat the effect of grape-shot.
One struck the negro as related ,anoth-
er missed my head and shattered q
looking-glass. behind me, another
struck me in the chest, while still "a
mother, curiously enough, took off the
handle of pitcher, or monkey cooler,
that stood on the table. Four Of the
seeds didn't go off and you may be
sure put them in strong box. A
number of Seeds continued the speak
er, have a similar habit of exploding
and it is generally a provision con-
nected with the dispersal of seeds.
In the West have seen trees explode
with a report that could be heard
nearly mile; in this case the frost
was the cause. There certain insects
bore great holes in the bark of trees,
rain finds its way in and freezes and
away goes the tree as if you had plac-
ed torpedo in it, showing what the
expansive power of water will do

BASE BALL.
The Battle Between the Giants.

CHICAGO DEFEATS NEW YORK IN THE OPENING
GAME-1O,00 PEOPLE PRESENT.
Ten thousand people witnessed the opening
game in Chicago yesterday between the New
York and Chicago ball clubs for the possession of
the national pennant. The crowd was evenly
balanced as the visitors had hosts of admirers
present, many of whom had journeyed to Chicago
solely to see the game, and many of the leading
Eastern and Western newspapers had representa-
tives present. The crowd cheered the New
Workers whenever they made a good play, but
became frantic in the first and ninth innings, when
the Chicagos began their run getting, and when
the last man of the opposing club went out. The
New York club appeared on the field preceded by
the First Regiment Band, and Immediately there
after the Chicagos appeared under similar escort.
Both were rapturously eheered. The New York
giants presented their strongest playing front
with Welch and Ewing as their battery, while
Chicago presented Mccormick and Kelly, their
reserve battery. The crowd was so large that it
reached around the sides of the. field, and rules
were adopted at the request of the New York
nine to the effect that any hit which reached into
the crowd would be counted as three-baser
only. The ChicagoS opened the game in vigor-
GUS fashion Dalrymple flew out to frSt base,
and Gore took first base on balls; Kelly made a
base hit, advancing Gore to second, and both were
advanced another base on passed balls; Anson
flied out TO right field; Pfeffer made a three-base
terrific cheering; Williamson made another base
hit, bringing Pfeffer home; Burns followed with
another baSer, Williamson coming home Burns
was thrown out while trying to steal second.
New York began her run-gettng in the third in
ming, Welch making base hit, but being forced
out at second on Gerhardts hit; Gerhardt was
forced out at second on Wards strike, who
stole second, and scored run on ORourke's base
hit. COnnOr and Ewing both followed with base
hits, bringing in 0Rourke, but Connor was put
out in trying to steal third
The Chieagos added two runs in the fifth, on
Kelly's three-base hit AnsOn's base hit and Pfef-
fer'S base hit.
The New YOrk'S made two runs in the eight, on
Welch's base hit, Wards single, Ewing's base hit
apassed ball and wild throw by Kelly.
Kelley made a three-bagger in the ninth inning
and came home on AnsOn's long fly to centre.
The game abOunded in very remarkable plays
and was played ''for blood" on both sides. There
was only one fielding error, that of Gerhardt, and
it did not affect the result The score:

FERDINAND WARD.
His Brother Gives an outline Of His
Defence.

WASHINGTON Sept pa letter received in
this city from w. S. Ward of Denver, Colorado, a
brother of Ferdinand Ward, contains some curl
Gus and Interesting points, evidently outlining the
defence that Will be attempted in New York. Mr..
Ward says that when the facts in the case come
out they will reliev- his brother of much that is
cruel and unjust. He says he believes that the
Grant family drew out more from the firm than
they put in; that F; d; Grant was in the same
contract business and in the same way as Ward !;
that the Grant family lost by outside speculations
on advice of outside friends, amounts, which if
now theirs would do away with all the cry of pow
erty: that numbers OF prominent men, bank pres
idents, ETC., were exacting exorbitant interest on
loans to Grant & Ward; that the expenses of his
brother have been paid, and are being paid by his
family and that he has not really dollar; that
the apparent loans of Gen. Grant and other mem.
berS of the firm represent eXorbitant gains upon
these So-called contracts; that the Grants were
urged few days after the failure to join his
brother in his attempt to get back from others
these extravagant profits, but did not do so; that
although his brother had ample opportunity to se-
cure himself, he not only never attempted to do
so, but that everything, including his personal
papers, bank books, ETC., were placed in the
of the firms affairs, with their losses and gains
were kept in open books, and monthly statement
OF this was rendered to each member of the firm.
Ferdinand Ward left an unsigned statement at
the warden's office at the Ludlow street jail to-
nighc, the same to be given to the press, and of
which remarkable paper verbatim reproduction
is here given:
81 have prepared schedules and gave them to
Nh. Davies and Mr.. JohnStone, which show what
disposition was made of the mOUey of Grant &
Ward, the names of the parties who received it,
and the amounts received by each. One of these
statements shows that l paid out from 1880 to
1884, S633, 900 for my personal account. 1t also
shews that of this amount invested $573, 900 in
real estate and personal property, all of which
conveyed to Mr.. Warner the morning after our
failure, and which property the assignee is seek
ing to recover back from Mr.. Warner for the ben
eft of my creditors, This leaves balance of
during the four years, but included in the sum is
$I20000 received by me as profits on my individ-
ual investments This proves that none of the
money of Grant g. Ward has been appropriated by
me for my personal use in any way.
