entertainment in the spacious dance hall
connected with the hotel consisting of
choice selection of twelve numbers of finely
executed vocal and instrumental music and
recitations. Fireworks and ball followed.

been grand sight as seen from the city.
The ball programme of twelve dances was
executed with pleasurable satisfaction by
the participants and much enjoyed by the
spectators. The Highland Fling and Sword
Dance, by Mr. Fred Cushing, gave much sat
isfaction. Mr. NJ. S. Gibson was untiring in
his efforts to have the affair pass off success
fully, and his brother, Benjamin c., ably as
sisted in making every one enjoy the occa-
sion to the full AT eleven o'clock the whole
party were invited into the spacious dining

A Baptist Minister Runs Away From
a Prosecution for BioamY.

John w. Washburn, Baptist minister Of
Lowell has just fled to Canada to escape
prosecution. He was sent from Lowell by
the Home Missionary Society to be educated
for the ministry at Waterville, Maine. There
he was detected in the robbery of Catholic

lady and was subsequently married in Yer
mont. He was sent to prison for bigamy,
duped the prison officials by pretending pie
ty and secured a pardon. He then went
West, married third wife, induced her to
transfer her bank account to him, brought
her to Lowell and deserted her, taking all
back to her western home by her friends.
With his crimes known, the bigamist had
the presumption to apply for the pastorate

The Portlands play the Broektons again today,
and they will play for another victory. Game
will be called at o'clock. Rittenhouse is ex-
pected to pitch for the home team.

1t is very rare sight to see the fine Broekton
team ratified as they were yesterday They gen
orally play strong and steady game throughout,
but yesterday they evidently had an off day, much
to the delight of the 900 spectators of their game
with the Portlands. Willis and Bignell were the
visitors battery. The former pitched very wild
and the latter was suffering from broken finger,
and these two things combined with the very poor
fielding of the Brocktons and heavy batting of the
home team, soon placed the visitors hOpelessly in
the rear Dugan and Thayer were the home
teams battery, and they gave another splendid
exhibition OF their work. The features of the
game were the batting and base running Of
Munee, Thayer, Fulmer Patton and Howard. The
way the Portlands were batting was too much
for Willis and lie left the box in the fourth inning
CudwOrth going in and doing good work for the
rest of the game. Bignen also injured his sore
finger in the seventh inning and had to exchange
positions with Hawes.
A play by Shaw in the fifth inning caused quite
an uproar for a time; Cudw0rth hit the bah for
what appeared base hit, but Shaw got it after a
hard run across the diamond, and as he was about
to throw to Hartnett both feet slipped from under
him and down he sat plump in the mud. Without
while sitting down, and caught his man.
Mr.. Thomas Bond of Boston, an ex-National
League umpire, and formerly pitcher on the Bos-
tons, umpired the game. 1t is the unanimous
ing ever witnessed here. We hope to see him
here often. The score:

THE CATTLE KINGS.
The Presidents Order to be Resisted
and Contested in the Courts,


New YORK, Aug 31.-The Heralds Long
Branch correspondent telegraphs that Gen.
Buffers recent visit to Block Island which
was alleged to have political significance,
was made in connection with the President S
order regarding the removal of cattle from
Indian lands. The correspondent interview
ed Col. Corkhill, formerly District Attorney
of the District of Columbia, and son-in-laW
of Justice Miller Of the Supreme Court of
the United States Col. Corkhill is credited
with saying: fYou have seen, of course,
the order of President Cleveland directing
the West to yacate their grazing grounds.
Gen. Butler is himself one of the proprietors
of a large ranch. and his clients and per-
sonal friends represent many millions of
dollars of capital thus invested. The order
is therefore of very great consequence and
Importance to them, and he was preparing
to sue the President of the United States,
and the object of his visit was to ask a
preliminary order restraining the execution
of the proclamation of the President until
the questions involved could be determined
by the courts. Gen. Buffers object was to
present the matter to Judge Miller, Judge
Blatchford being absent from his circuit and
not easy of access. Gen. Butler, as | have
said, represents many millions of dollars in
vested by his clients, and presented very
c0gent reasons for some order that would
protect them. The order was not issued,
and did not hear any Of the conversation
with Judge Miller about it. If the cattle are
not moved | suppose the President will
direct the Secretary of War to direct Gen.
Sheridan to direct Mai. Gen. Pope to direct
Col. Blank to order Capt. Blank to detail
Lieut. Blank to remove the cattle from a
certain locality, and | think Lieut.. Blank
Will be the man against whom will issue the
mandate of the court, and who will be the
nominal defendant in all these proceedings .
Then there will be fght?" asked the
correspondent
"Yes; | know from what Gen. Butler said
there VIII be a long and bitter fight"
will the cattle be moved?"
"Of course not You couldn't move a
colored picnic, let alone 100000 head of cat
tie, by. any mere proclamation, let it issue
from the President or any one else. Yes,
the fight will be made. 1t involves i'm
portant questionable rights of property,
the power of the Indians to make contracts,
and the power and authority of the govern
ment to interfere. OF one thing rest assured
the cattle will stay, the fight will go on"
