From Cornelia Crashaw's house, Mr.
Hall Twas going up to London to see
about some farm business. Hewas to
be gone . week-and during all that
time his heart ached whenever he
thought Of the empty little BEDS. the
desolate hearthstone at home.
II was sultry afternoon when he
drove up once moro to the old farm
house. To his amazement, Fanny,
Johnny. and Little Joe, with the
faithful dog, Tiger, at their heels, all
rushed, shouting and laughing, out to
meet him. And there was not single
uprising "Hush-s h-s h!" from Mrs.
Hall, whose face was visible in the
hall between them.
"Hallo!" said Mr.. Hall. Eth? What?
How's this? l thought I left you all

Fanny. "She said she loved us, and
wanted us back againl She really
did,"
"And we love her!" piped up little
Joe. "And she has bought me Hans
Anderson's beautiful fairy book, and
says needn't bother about the cate
chism until I am old enough to under
stand it,"
''And she let's us make nests in the
hay, and play in the grass meadow as
much as we please" said Johnny.
"And she saves bones for Tiger. Oh,
grandma is so NIGEL"
"Wife," said old Ebenezer Hall,
"what is this the children are telling
me?"
Mrs. Hall stood smiling in the door
way.
otis all true, every word OF it, Eb-
enezer," said she. "You'll be calling
me an old fool, p'r'aps; but the fact is
that l never knew how much / missed

Fanny.
"And I've learned her to say, Sing

"almost as nice as I can say it my

'And she let's me look at the pict-
ures in the big Bible," said Johnny,
joyfully.
Old Mr.. Hall took both his wife's
hands and kissed her, as he had not
kissed her for years.
"God bless you, Mary!" said he.

You see, when we are married we shall
live in the city, we must dress and be-
have as city people do. Cecile will

II thought you liked me just as 1
am, Philip. What is wrong in the
city that is proper and pretty in the
country, will you tell me?"
Certainly, Mona. Your loose,
flowing hair and short dresses, and
your frank, familiar ways, all SO per-
tectly charming just here, would oc-

cisms in the city. / want my little girl
to be as fashionable and as stylish

"Ah! she is your ideal, is she?"
Much more to the same purpose,
mingled with kisses and compliments,
but nothing in it deceived the wounded
woman's heart. For Mona, though
not a fashionable woman. was a true
woman, nevertheless, and understood
not only what had been said, but also
all that had been left to be inferred.

his business entirely, but it had been

Mrs. Hall bit her lips. Indifferent
as she had protested herself to the
children, there was a drop of bitter
ness in their willingness to leave her.
Ebenezer was fond OF his grand
children, and it seemed hard to separ-
ate them. Had they expressed a
single objection to going away her
heart might have melted But as it
was, she only compressed her lips, and
frowned the gloomy frown which John
and Fanny and little Joe knew so
we'll.
The boxes were packed that night,
and early in the morning Ebenezer
and the children drove away.
Goodbye, Children" she said,
standing on the doorstep, and shading
her eyes with one hand from the sun
shine. And they answered in shrill,
sweet voices, Goodbye, grandma
But there were no tears, no loving
words Of farewell, no last clinging ca
resses. Mrs. Hall had not supposed
that she cared for such things but it
chagrined her q little now!
''Oughtn't we to have kissed grand
mar" said Fanny, in whisper, as the
wheels ratified on.

CHATTANOOGA. June 19.-The Chatta-

to-day by hard hitting, earning five OF
their six runs. The ''Nikado" was simp-

was put in to relieve him, The Chatta-
noogas new pitcher, Shenkle, arrived to-
day and occupied the box for the locals.
He was very effective, though little
wild. Nashville could do nothing with
him. The enthusiasm is high here. Ar

There is good deal Of dissatisfaction
among the stockholders of the Charleston
Association over the release OF Holland.
The sporting men in Charleston reaped
harvest Friday. They offered $50 to $40
on Savannah and found plenty of takers.
Tim Brosnan, second baseman for the
CharlestOns, was elected Captain of the
team in place of Gardner Just before the
club left home.
What a Boston umpire said in one in
ming last week, according to the Globe:
''YumOuth. fiboul. COmptegar, asastri.
Yahoe. Whowaah. Fwolog rahrurah
bolsh."
Cyclone Miller has been reinssated on
trial by Macon. The directors took him
back on the written request of very many
of the base ball patrons and of every
member of the club. He will probably
pitch Monday.
Barr, the pitcher for the Washingtons,
the Philadelphia North American says,
steps into the box parrot-tOed, and, as he
unwiDds himself to deliver the ball, he
looks not unlike the dissolving view in
''The Black Crook"
President Proudft will call a meeting

League at an early date to take into con-
sideratiOn the recent rules adopted by the
American Association in regard to coach

umpIres. The last meeting was held in
Macon. and President PrOudft will order
this one to be held in Augusta or Atlanta
The Charleston News and Courier heads

that WeyhIng "The Kid" was "hors de

everything is perfect harmony among the
Charlestonians.
There is no reason why Savannah
should not maintain the best club in the
league. 1t has equally as good a chance
to win the pennant as any other club.
All that is required is money. The
management is in debt. Ii the public will
go TO its rescue the club will be main
tanned. If not, the management will not
maintain II at its own expense, and Sa-
vannah will be the first to withdraw from
the league. The directors ask the public

spends the club, they say, will be dis
banded.

OF games actually played.)
Tne Savannahs have an equally as good
chance as any club in the league to win
the pennant. They are but .04 per cent.
behind the leaders. With a firm grip on
second place they are likely to 20 to the
front any day. The Atlantas are in t1e
lead but are not likely to stay there.
They are not doing as we'll as they did at
the beginning Ofthe season. The manage
ment of the club is not satisfactory. The
Nashvilles are weakened by the loss of
several players. Memphis is now the only
club to be feared.
With the prospect OF winning the PEN
nant before it there is danger that the hOm @
club will go to pieces. The management
is in debt. The players salaries are be-
hind. The directors cannot see their
way and unless something is done
at once they say the club will have
to disband. The directors will ap-
peal to the public this week for
subscriptions. They ask for enough
money to pay off the Indebtedness and TO
carry the club through the rest of the sea-
son. Itremains to be seen whether Savan-
nah will withdraw from the club and allow
the club to succumb for want OF patron
age or whether it will give it a liberal
support.
The Augusta club came near going to

lifted it out. Macon had to be helped out
in the same way. The Savannah direc-
tors say that they have done their best to
put good club in the field and to give the
public good sport. How well they have
succeeded the public can judge for itself
Savannah has the reputation abroad of
having the best playing team in the league.
The directors placed ON sale two weeks
ago tickets good for the rest OF the season
tor $40. But very few Of them, however,
have been sold. The purchase Of these
tickets is, in a measure, equivalent to a
subscription. They are still on sale. The
directors ask the patrons of the games to
buy them. They will canvass the city
this week, and if they do not meet with a
| favorable response the players will be re-
leased at once and the club will dsband.
ltremains for Savannah to decide whether
it will have base ball or not.

THE ROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Eighty-one of Them Before the Su
perioF Court.

Yesterday was Road Commissioners
day in the Superior Court. Eighty-one of
them dropped into the court room about
the time for court to open. The trouble
was that the grand jury of the December
term in its general presentment had pre-
sented all the Road Commissioners in the
county for not having the roads in good
order. The rule against them came up
Yesterday.
" hen the case was called Gen. G. P.
Harrison arose and stated that he had
been selected to speak for the commission
ers. He declared that the grand jury of
the December term had committed great
injustice, and he asked permission to read
a paper. I he paper set forth that the
general presentment did not specify any
| particular road as being in bad order and
did not present any particular commits
| sioners, but with one swOop presented
| them all. That was too vague and indefi-
nte, Gen. Harrison held, and he doubted
whether the grand jurors had gone over
all the roads in the county.
The county's roads are about $50 miles
| long, and the county ia divided into 20 dis
| tricts, with three commissioners to a dis
trict. II was also stated in the paper that
the grand jury of the March term COM
mended the Road Commissioners for the
| condition OF the road, and 1t was asserted
| that no work of importance had been done
on the roads between the final discharge
Of the December term jury and the find.

THE HOME CLUB WINS.
The Charlestons Defeated by Score
10 tO1

The Charlestons Defeated by a Score
10 to1.
The CharlestOns got but three hits of
O'Dav yesterday. The home club batted
Warner for ten singles and four doubles,
and won the game by a score OF 10 70 1.
Gilman made the only run for the visit
ors on a wild throw TO third base by Field
in the fourth inning. McVey, Gilman
and Richmond were the only visitors that
found the ball.
1t was an easy victory for the home
club. ODay pitched a magnificent game.
Up TO the seventh inning not a hit had
been made OFF his delivery. He struck
out five men and made eight assists, and
led the batting with three singles ard two
double base hits. An unfortunate throw
10 third base, letting a runner score, and
two bad stops by Fields were the only er-
rOrs that the home club made.
The fielding was superb. Moriarity's
running catch Of long fly to right field
by Brosnan, Miller's short stop work,
Collins work at second and Gillen's work
behind the bat were the features Of the
game.
Warner pitches what at first is very
deceptive curve, but the locals had little
difficulty In finding it, and he was batted
hard from the start.
The team held together we'll and did
good work in the field. Gardner, for some
reason, did not play, and McNey was put
in mis- place. The visitors did the best
they could, but were outplayed at every
point. The following is the score OF the
game:

MANY SITES TALKED OF.
Gossip About the Location of the
New Public Building.

NGH
The site for Savannah's new public
building is already the subject of much
talk. When Congress adjourns the ap-
preparation of 100000 will be available.
About the first move will be the appoint
ment OF the building commissioners, two
of whom are usually selected from the
city in which the building is to be erect
ed. The third may be a Washington
man. They get location,
In the present case the government
may have to pay pretty good price for
site. AS early as February last the
supervising architect Of the Treasury
Department, Mr.. Bell, wrote to POstmas-
ter Wilson about a site. The latter
replied that suitable lot on which to erect
a post office and court house would cost
from 100000 to $4,000. An effort will
probably be made to obtain trust lot, as
there is a strong desire to have the new
building front on square. The Bay is
too noisy for the court rooms, and the
building will certainly go to some quieter
street.
There are number of sites on Bull
street that can be had, but big price
will be asked as soon as it is known that
the government wants the lot. In the
past nine years tue money order and the
registry business of the Savannah post
Office have increased from 1870 per cent. to
$50 per cent, and the mail matter handled
has more than doubled. With cheap post
age and a growing population the busi-
ness is likely to increase steadily.
In erecting post office allowance will
have to be made for the growing business.
The plan Will probably give the first floor
to the post office and the upper floors to a
court room, judges, attorneys and other
Offices

Directors ASK for Assistance.
The ninth week OF the Southern League
season ended Yesterday. All OF the clubs,
with one or two exceptions, are having a
very successful campaign. The Atlantas
are In the lead, but their chances for the
penuant are by no means an assured
thing. The Savannahs are a close second.
The Nasnvilles nave dropped down to
third, and If they are not careful
they will not hold that posi-
tion long. The Macons and Memphians
are making a sharp fight. The Macons
have a clear lead of the Memphians for
fourth place. The Augustus maintain
the same position they have occupied for
three weeks. The Chattanooga are now
seventh, but they are making gallant
fight. The CharlestOns are last, but are
playing in better form than at the start.
ard will stand well before the race is
lin shed.
The leading clubs are closely punched,
and changes are likely TO take place any
day. The SaYannans, under HOtaling's
management, have been doing excellent
work during the past week. The victories
won over Charleston and Augusta have
shown what the club can do. They are
second In the race, with fair chance OF
going to the front this week.

a serious and apparently unprovoked
stabbing ARRAY occurred last night in the

him with cane which bad lead on the

met a crowd of five young men and boys
near Jones street. lie did not recognize
any OF them as they came up, but some
one in the crowd asked: ''ls that yOuV
sullivan said ''yes," and Immediately he
was assaulted again by two young men,
one of whom be recognized as Turner.
This time Sullivan was dangerously
cut. He got one deep wound in the neck
that came near being fatal. Another deep
wound was made on his shoulder and a
long rent was made in his coat. Break
ing away from his assallants, Sullivan ran
down the street to q grocery, and rushing
ia begged the people 10 protect him, and
declared that a crowd was trying to mur-
der him. Two or three young men who
were in the store accompanied him to the
barracks. When sullivan got there his
face, chest aud hands were covered with
blood. II had a cut over his right eve,
one on the lett temple, one on his
upper lip and one on cheek,
besides the wounds IN the neck and back.
He said that one of his assailants was
named Turner, and Turner mad been heard
to call his companion Lee. With these
clues the case was started.
Gen. Anderson detailed Policeman Fl.

companion. At 1890 officer Morgan
