olic Benevolent Union Of the United

Gated, by formal resolution, the attempt
to make the Hon. A NJ. Kelley religious

Is, perhaps, naturally, considerable
heat among the members of the I. G..
B. o., OF which Mr.. Kelley is an ex-presi-
dent st the manner OF his rejection as min
zster by Italy and Austria, and this has
been intensified since the publication of
the indiscreet letter of Bishop Keane OF
Richmond to Mr.. Kelley, in which the
ground is taSen that his successive r. C.
tions by two foreign powers were fliugs at
the Pope and the whole Catholic popula-
ton of the L aited States. But this is a
matter for President Cleveland and Sscre
tsry Bayard te deal with, and to them il
can be safely !nirusted.

ATLANTA, GA, September I.-To-dav's
game between Columbus and Atlanta was
the most interesting yet played between
these clubs, and was witnessed by 5000
persore. Sullivan and Clark was the bat
t.ory Tor Atlanta and Clark and Krehmeyer
fsr Columbus. Doyle, the new shortstop,
played with Atlanta, Cahill going to right
field. Doyle's playing was great disap-
polntment. There Tas some heavy kick
ing by the visitors in the eighth inning
over the following: Lyons was on second,
and started to run to third as ball was
batted to Doyle at short; Lyons ran in
front of Doyle, and, Doyle says, knocked
the ball out of lis hand. Lyons denies
that he touched him, but Umpire Green
called him out on the rule that runner
cannot run between the fielder and the
ball, but must run behind the fielder. The
Columbus team kicked long snd loud at
this, and Green fined two or three of
them. They went on The field to play
their last inning, when Cline called them
of, and they started to leave the grounds.
| After some squabblipg, however, they
vent back and played the game out.
