The convention of the American party
which broke up its deliberations in Washing
ton day before yesterday with bolt which
took off good part Of the delegates, seems to
have been queer collection. There were,
to begin with, several foreigners in the
crowd. one of whom, an Irishman with a
very pronounced brogue, made himself very
conspicuous. There were said to be six Gov
ernors among the delegates, but the repre-
sentation was not so important as this fact
might indicate. There were twenty-five
States represented, but large part of the
representation was by proxies picked up in
Washington. 1t seems to be the general
opinion in Washington that the American
party would be fitting mate for the Belva
Lockwood party. Perhaps the founders of
the party would do better to await more
favorable moment for their debut. This is
bad season for side issues.

THEY Prosecuted HIM.
A West Broad Street Infelicity Aired
in Court.

Everlin Patterson (colored) and her
adopted daughter Frances Rivers, were ar
raigned in Justice Sheftal's court yester-
day on a warrant for assault and battery
on Nathan Bryan, an old colored man. The
three sat in the Magistrates office casting
slurs at one another until the woman was
given hearing. After an examination she
was released on bond. Her daughter gave
bond to keep the peace.
The difficulty occurred yesterday after
noon at Gwinnett and West Broad streets
The old man claims that thetwo women are
nuisances. He is unable to remain whore
he is. unless there is a stop put to their at
tacks on him. He accused them Of crock
ing" him at night As soon as
he reached his home at night he
said the women would pelt his head with
brick bats. He could not account for their
conduct unless they wanted TO run him out
of the neghborhood The women stated
that Bryan was putting up job on them to
get them out of the way, and they disowned
having pelted him with rocks
IF dars inybody wuts noosins it's dat
old man wuts or settiu' DER said the
woman. HE tends lack he's mighty puse-
cuted by me an my gal, but he's not Wut,

old mig in dis country, an dis is one err his
tricks ter git rid er me an my gal. He
aunts somebody else ter be his nabur, dat's

In the girs statement She alluded to tho
shrewdneSs Of the old man, and that his aim
in bringing them to court was to brighten
them away from home. When she hal
concluded, the old man Strengthened him
self in his chair, and said: 'Jedge, amt yo'
gwine GIN de ole man ur chans ter speak is
mine All wit dem niggers is sed is muffin
tall ter de subjac' l kin wool EN- bof' IL

The magistrate informed Bryan that the
court wanted nothing more from any of
them. The examination was held and the
women had been bound over, and nothing
he could say would alter the case. The
parties marched back to their homes TO-
gether, satisfied with the course the case
had taken.

No; we go to each one of the newspapers

PLAYED AGAINST ODDS.
SAVANNAH GIVES THE CHARLES
TONIANS A HARD PULL.


One Thousand Enthusiastic Spectators
Cheer the Babies in Their Fight
Against the Big Leaguers-An Even
Game for Six Innings-Bunched Hits
Gives the Visitors the Lead on the
Seventh-Strief Given an Ovation
The Locals to Play in Charleston
To-Day.
Between 1000 and 200 people saw the
Sayannah-Charleston game at the ball
grounds yesterday afternoon. The grand
stand was crowded.
The game, except in one inning, was very
prettily played. The seventh inning was
fatal to both sides. Charleston got in ten
runs and Savannah seven. In the first inning
the visitors led off with four runs, and it
looked as If the game was gong to be too one
sided to be interesting. The locals picked up
in the second inning and kept on scoring
until they got the lead In the fatal seventh
inning the visitors by punched hits, piled
up ten runs. The locals got back seven of
them in the same inning, but they were I'M
able to hold up their end and in the last
inning the visitors scored four more. The
score at the finish was 20 to IA in Charles
TONS favor
The features of the game were the heavy
batting and brilliant base running of both
clubs. Demers distinguished himself by a
long throw from center field to first base,
making a double play. Monahan made a
difficult running catch of fly close to the
left field fence, and Brown, as usual, held
the coaching line in fine style In fact, all
OF the local players showed up well against
the big leaguers
The Charlestonians are strong team
Powell, Carl, Mann, and George Strict,
are old southern league players, and their
faces were familiar to many of the grand
stand spectators. Strict, who played two
years with the Savannah southern league
team, was given quite an ovation.
The visitors returned to Charleston last
night, and the Savannahs will go over this
morning, and will play there to-day. The
locals will put up their new pitcher,
Papillion. with Green as his backstop. The
team win be as follows:
