Strict, Field and Collins spent yesterday
in this city, returning to Charleston last
night.
The report of the game at the Fords'
Opera House will begin at 3 O'Clock this
afternoon.
Moran, who umpired the to | game at
Charleston, is said to have given Shreve
much the worst OF 1t on his down shoots,
which Moran was not familiar with and
invariably called balls.
To-day's game at Charleston will be
called much earlier than usual to allow
Savannah to catch tram en- route to
Memphis, where she plays next. The
game will be taken in detail at Fords'
Opera House.
Pitcher Getzein, of Detroit, complained
Of being sick in a recent game with the
WashingtOns when he was being batted
all over the field. A physician examined
him, and said that ne was as well as a

For the past ten days negotiations nave
been pending between the management
OF the Detroit and ST. LOuls clubs for the
sale and anster OF Fred Dunlap, the bril-
liant second Dasemau OF the Maroons, TO
the Detrolts. Friday Managers Schmelz
aud Watkins, J. b. Maloney, one of the
directors of the Detroit CLUB, and MI
Dunlap met at the Girard House, where
the necessary documents We're signed and
sealed. Dunlap left for New York Satur-
dav where he Joins his new-found COM
rades. The acquisition Of this PLAYER by
the Detroit team makes it the strongest
batting combination ever got together.
Their only weak spot was at second, and
now that they have secured the services
Of this valuable player they certainly
stand a good show for the pennant. 1t is
we'll known fact that Dunlap has en-
deavored to get away from st. Louis for
the past two seasons. He has always
favored Detroit, and been anxious to play
in that team on account of his lifelong
friendship for Ned Hanlon, the centre
fielder and Captain OF the team. The
price paid Tor the release was "a, 700, the
highest figure ever paid for one player.
Two contracts were executed, private
one and the league contract. In the
league contract tue limit rule is not ig-
nored, but the private contract informs
Mr.. Dunlap that he Is to receive 81, 500 a
season for two seasons, and an advance of
81, 900 on the first day OF November, 1886
and 1887, respectively.

The assistant freight agent at New

saying: "The outlook for fall trade is

We start on Monday next with a paying
rate to Southern points. There has been
good deal of cutting on Georgia and

gay chat interspersed with singing

TWO GOOD II -.AsONS
why improvements Are Being
Pushed in the Southwest.

Ex-Gov. John c. Brown, OF Tennessee,
Receiver of the Texas and Pacific rail-
road, was in Pittsburg Sunday. Imam in
terYiew he said railroad building was be-
ing actively prosecuted in the southwest
this year for two reasons: One is the busI-
ness OF the road demands extensions and
improvements, and the other is steel rails
and material tor road building and better
ments are so cheap that it will pay better
TO attend to it now tAau a year hence.
Mr.. Brown says he is buying the steel
rails for his extensions from England.
He pays SIT a ton duty. and in 400 ton lots
gets his rails from 90 cents to 81 a ton
cheaper than he can get them in this
country. Mr.. Brown says the tariff
should be lowered on steel rails, for the
reason that 'it ia not right to ask the
great roads of the country to pay such
fancy prices TOR an article that only few
men are interested in producing"

A medical book by DR.. Brunton says:
"All the vital functions are more or less
processes of combustion and they are sub
ject to laws similar to those which regu-
late the burning OF coal in our fireplaces.
The reason why we allow our fires to burn
low or go out altogether either is that we
put on too much coal or that we allow
them to be smothered in ashes. 1t is the
child who pokes the fire from the top to
break the GOAL and make 1t burn faster;
the wise man pOkes it from below, so as
TO rake out the ashes and allow tree ac-
cess of oxygen. And so 1t is with the
functions OF life, only that these being less
understood many a man acts in regard to
them as a child does to the fire. The
man thinks that his brain is not acting
because he has not supplied
it with sufficient food. He takes meat
three times day, and beet tea, to supply
its wants, as he thinks, aud puts in pO-
ker to stir it UP in the shape of glass of
sherry or nip from the brandy boJtle.
And yet, all the time, what his brain Is
suffering from Is not lack of fuel, but ac-
cumulaJion OF ash, and the more he con-
tlnues to cram himself with food, and to
supply himself with stimulants. although
they may help him for the moment, he
worse he ultimately becomes, just as the
childPs breaking the coal may cause a
temporary blaze, but allows the fire all
the more quickly to become smOthered in
ashes. 1t would seem that vital processes
are much more readily arrested by the
accumulation of waste products within
the organs of the body than by the want
of nutriment of the organs themselves"

that other names such as "McHenry" and
