That the attempted assassination Of Ed.

early yesterday morning, was the direct
outcome of the discord which for so long
has been dividing the late lamented Repub-

which can be drawn, and the comment
among Republicans about town yesterday
was of the most mournful nature, the Incl.

the deliberations of some enthusiastic but
injudicious psrtizsn over the lamentsble

The Interesting Evidence Adduced In
Yesterdays Police Court.
A case was settled by His Honor Judge
LETTERS yesterday morning which resulted in
bringing to light some very In
ttresting particulars. The prison
ers interested were J. Hsb
erfeld and Foreman Heller, of the Yigilant
engine house. and the facts as elected in
an investigation made BY the Judge at the
instance Of Chief banning, of the Fire De-
psrtment, we're as follows
Monday evening Haber6eld, who
is q young man, while Ell
route to bis home in North
Wheeling, stopped at the engine house and
endeavored to pick quarrel with the fore
man. Mr.. Heller endesvored to avoid 3
row, and to this end requested Officers Dun
lap and Desmond, who were present, to re-
quire Haber6eld to move on. Desmond,
It was said, ordered him to 60 away but
Haberfeld did not obey, and finally applied
an ePithet 10 heller aud struck at him, which
action caused the latter to administer a
drubbing to assailant.
At this stage of the proceedings the off
GERS arrested both men, and the case was
called in police court the following morning,
His Honor, however, Withholding his deci-
sion. Yesterday, as stated, the Chief called

THE LILIES LEFT.
Exciting Game Of Ball at Echo
Point.
Over Two Hundred Young Society People
in Attendance as Spectators---The ;
Game and the Score.

The DAYS Of the old Baltic and Standards
seems TO have come again, if one may
Judge of the general interest taken IN yes.
terday's base ball game at Echo Point, and
the really large attendance OF spectators
who watched with interest the hotly con:
tested, and at times exciting game played
between the Lilies of the Valley and the
Films. From the skill with which the mem
bers of the rival teams handled themselves,
and the enthusiasm of tie on-lookers, 1t Is
fair to predict that the two clubs will not
now rest on the result of the game, and
seri,s of like encounters may be comb
deLtly expected.
THE PARTY,
which, including the players and spectators,
numbered over one hundred and nifty,
boarded the two o'clock train on the Elm
Grove road and proceeded out to Edging-
toms, where they alighted and set out on
foot for the elegant grounds, laid of BY MIR.
Dewey near his residence. Here the city
folks were Joined by q large party OF subur.
ban people, and when the preliminaries had
been completed the umpire, Col. H. b.
Bowie. of Bellaire, called time and the Films
went to the bat, it being then 3 o'clock.
Three runs were scored, and then the Liies
came to the front, and succeeded in pihng
M four scores before the third man out eel
them to the field. The second inning was
HOT ONE,
the Elms failing to make q mark, while
their opponents barely escaped white
wash. The third inning was better one
for runs, the Films making two safe hits,
while their opponents added four to their
list. The fourth inning resulted in credit
of one to each nine while in the fifth the
Elms settled down to work in earnest, and
while scoring four runs themselves forced
their opponents to be content with cypher.
The sixth inning was repetition OF the
fourth, and as each club now had eleven
runs entered up, honors were easy and the
result charmingly uncertain. The seventh
inning, however, put different phase on
the situation, and blasted
THE FOND HOPES
of the Lilies. No less than nine runs were
piled up by the Films in this inning while
the flowers of the field got never a one. In
The eighth inning the Lilies braced up and
scored three to the Fins one but in the
last struggle they were downed hopelessly
to the tune of three to two, with total Of
sixteen for the Lilies to twentyfour for their
opponents.
Following is the score:
