One of the Worst.

An Auburn lady who has been living in
lonely place in Texas, tells the Lewis
ton, Me-, Journal that one evening at
dusk, her son and husband being away for
the night, a rough looking man on horse
back came up to her door and asked if
he could be put up for the night. She
looked at him with disguised fear. There
was money enough in the house to tempt
cutthroat and robber, ard she was
frightened, but she looked him in the
face and said
"My husband and my boy are away.
am all alone in the house. If you won't
rob me or cut my throat you may come in
and stay"
new chord was seemingly touched in
the fellows being. He Strengthened up
and said;
Madam, L won't cut your throat, and
nobody else can so long as I'm here"
He came IN she gave him some supper
and place to sleep, and he was as polite
as he knew how to be. The next day af-
ter he was gone, she was informed that
her guest was one of the worst despera-
does of lawless Texas.

Kelley and Mccormick.
o. nLl.

The following queer story about the
Jersey Battery" appears as q special
from New York:
Kelley and Mccormick, the famous bat
terry of the Chicago club, are residents of
Peterson, n. j., when not playing ball.
Mccormick is in partnership with David
Treado, an old baseball player. 1t has
been given out that both men have refus-
ed to sign with the Chicago Club. The
reason given for the refusal of Kelley to
sign is that he contemplates going into
the horse business with brother.
Kelley's friends laugh at the statement.
Is it one of ''Mik's gags?"
It is we'll understood in Peterson by the
friends of both parties that they felt sore
ly hurt at the action of Manager Spalding
in fning them 1875 each. 1t is claimed
by Kelley's friends that he need not play
ball next season, and that he can get a
salary Of $4,000 doing nothing. Two
clubs have strong desire to weaken the
Chicagos, and are willing to keep him
from signing with the Chicago club. Nc
Cormick received $4,000 for pitching for
the Chicagos, and it is said that when he
signed last season he was promised that
different amounts would be paid him if
the club won the championship. The
promises were made to evade the rule of
the league prohibiting the payment of
salaries over $4,000.
