ally reduced, until to-day but ono man

lenders Society who is able to leave his
home is JAS. Morford, aged 90 years,

Five of the veterans are still alive, but
Mort0rd ate his sumptuous dinner with a
few younger friends, and in view Of The
fact that he was one of the seven who

but be ielt that this is probably the last

rate the battle Of North Point.

COLLAPSE OF THELEAGUE
THE SEASON TO BE ENDED ON
SEPT. ~.

Atlanta So Fixed that She Can Claim the
Pennant-NAshville Declines TO Piays
Three Games for = 900 and the Of1erl
Open to ANY of the other Clubs.
ATLANTA, Sept. 12.-The directors of
the Southern league held a meeting az
the kimbalI house this morning TO deeidg
when and whera the Southern league
should end. Every club IN the league
was represented and every club, excepe
Nashville and Memphis, cast its vote to.
end the league on Sept. II instead of ini
October. The motion to this effect was
made by MIR. Lewis, Of Chattanooga. Mr..
Mayberry, Of Nashville, amended that the
season should be heightened 60 allow anw
clubs that so desire to play out their
games, and Mr.. sullivan, OF Memphis, secs
0nded the amendment.
AUGUSTA PROTESTS.
Mr.. Foster, OF Augusta, entered vehes
ment protest To the amendment. and Mr..
Collier followed, saying that he protested
against any two or three clubs that
chose to do 80 going around the country
bushwhacking under the name Of the
Southern league. The amendment was
voted down as follows: Chattanooga, At
lauta, Macon, and Augusta. no; Memphis
and Nashville, yes. The original motioni
was then put and carried with two OPP
posing votes, those OF Nashville and
Memphis. Mr.. Brown, OF Macon, mOve6
TO pay the umpire Sl05 back pay, saying
that Mr.. Young was the only um Oire nows
In the league that had been in the whole
season, carried out his contract, and
given general satisfaction. MIR. Gradyl
favored the action, and after some oppo-l
sition on account Of the depleted state OF
the treasury, the motion was carried.
ATLANTA SCOOPS IN THE PENNANT. /
The action of the directors virtually sets
ties the ownership Of the pennant At
lanta has finished all schedule games ands
has sixty games TO her credit, with thirty-
one lost, and percentage of 659. Should
Augusta win every game she plays be-
tween now and the close OF the schedule
she VIII have percentage OF 1858, and
should Nashville do the same thing her
percentage will be COZ. This gives thel
peunant 10 Atlanta. The report that the
Atlanta club has disbanded il withouta
foundation. She will not disband for al
mouth yet, and has never even consid-
cred the question OF dlsbanding sooner.
She VIII soon make a Northern tour
playing with Evansville next week.
scHMELTz's BLUFF.
MANAGER Schmeltz has offered to plays
any club IN the league rs 10 now stands
Nashville preferred) a series Of five
games on neutral grounds for 81, GOO each
game. Manager Mayberry refused TO ac-,
cept the offer. 1t is probable, however,
that series OF games viii soon be-
arranged between these two clubs. All OF
the clubs represented to-day favored a
continuance OF the league next year. This
will unquestiOnably be done. and a
stronger and better organization will be
effected. IL is probable that room will bel
made for Savannah and Charleston next
year. Two OF the clubs OF the present
league Will be dropped.

FRANCES POLITICAL APATHY.
None of the Parties Making a Particu-
lArIy Spirited Canvass.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-In France the elec-
toral contest has become tame. The ardor
with which the campaign was opened has
disappeared. The country is singularly
quiet, and the political committees are
inactive. The various candidates appear
to have already tired OF the struggle, and
their speeches are delivered listlessly
and are received without enthusiasm.
This surprising dullness following the
opening of what was calculated TO be one
of the most exciting political campaigns
ever had In France is attributed
to the enervation produced by the pro-
lOnged preparations for the contest. II is
understood that NJ. Grevy has changed
his mind about the presidency, and that
he has now prOfessed a willingness to
continue in office. Among the eminent
men named as his probable successor are
Leon Say, Nj. de Freycinet, the present
Minister Of Foreign Affairs; Nj. Foquet,
President of the Chamber OF Deputies; NJ.
Ferry, ex-Premier; and NJ. Brisson, the
present President OF the Cabinet. 1t is
generally thought that il M. Grevy be not
his own successor M. Brisson Will have
the best chance OF securing the Office.
