THE DARKTOwN BAsE-BALLLsTs
Have Some Trouble Over an Umpire.

nave SOm6 ONct ~"
A large crowd was present at BOschen's 9
Baseball Park yesterday afternoon to
witness a game between the Cuban Giants
and the Red Stockings, two Colored clubs
of Richmond. The reporter # the TINES
had hard time keeping an account OF
the game. Scarcely had it commenced
when a vigorous kick was made against
the umpire by the Red Stockings After
much discussion new umpire was
elected, but he proved as bad as the first
and was also elected. Finally a gentle
man in the audience by the name Of
Eaton volunteered to umpire the game,
and for while things went on very
smoothly until the fifth inning, when
trouble commenced in earnest
One young lady Of dusky hue, in blue
dress and Eyeglasses, was so overcome
with emotion that she tainted. And a
very black man who said he could lick
any man In the crowd, had all of his
clothes torn off The last the reporter
saw of him, he had on half collar and
the crown OF a straw hat Things began
to look so serious that the few white peo-
pie who were present made tracks for
home. Your reporter would like to give
you full account Of the game, but he
valued his life too much to see the game
out. However, we learn from good au-
thority that the Red Stockings won by a
score of IL to2.

Blaine's Self-Abnegation.

Mr. Blaines last letter declining the
presidential nomination, the Tribune to-
day says I'VE print elsewhere a letter
from Mr.. Blaine, fatty making an end Of

Immediate necessity of making another
choice. Unlike the party in power, il

HARRISBURG, May 30 For five weeks
three children of the Rev s. c Brinser
of Round Top, have been dangerously III
with rather peculiar type of typhoii
fever. The cause of the sickness cannot
be accounted for, since the children had
been always in good health There has
been q black cat in the family for years,
which was named Topsy, for no other
reason, perhaps, than that she vas black.
About eight weeks ago the cat became
very sick, and, as she was great pet,
the children constantly nursed her. The
attending physician is of the opinion that
the children contracted the disease from
the cat.

CURIOUS CASE.
A Man CuItivates II Watermelon Patch In
His Throat.


LANCASTER. PA, May 30-For more
than sixteen years Abram B. Shiffer of
New Holland, this county, has not par
taken of solid food. He has lived on
milk and other liquid substances. But,
nevertheless, he is an active and seem
ingly healthy man. Besides taking the
toll on the New Holland pike he deals in
horses. He has wife and two pretty
daughters TO care for, and he does 1t in
good style, too. In 1872 Mr.. Shitfer was
eating watermelon; seed OF which
stuck in his throat, and it has remained
there ever since, although many efforts
have been made TO remove IT, The first
treatment was mustard internally. but it
stuck in the throat, and, producing in
flammation, structure of the Gsopha-
gus was the result Four years later the
structure was reduced, but Mr.. Shffer's
ambition TO do farm work caused reac-
ton, and the structure became worse than
ever. For ten years the man has had an
instrument inserted in his throat to en-
large the opening, otherwise he would
be unable to take liquid nourishment
The man is generally in a happy frame
of mind, and he hardly ever troubles
himself about his unfortunate condition.
He takes the toll just the same.

Reduction of Fare on the Richmond and
Danyille Railroad.

Early next month the Richmond and
Danyille Railroad will reduce its local
passenger tariffs within the States OF Vir-
ginia and North Carolina to a basis of
three and-a. half cents per mile for first
class. and three cents for second class
fares. This action will make consider.
able reduction in the fares for short dis
tances, at the same time the rates for
longer distances, which are now about
three cents per mile, will not beinoreased.
The saving, therefore, in the cost of travel
will be considerable in the short trips
which make up the bulk of the local pas
senger business of the roads in this State.
This voluntary reduction of its tolls by
the above corporation furnishes an evil
dence of the desire of its management TO
act literally with the people, and being
done as it is without compulsion, is an
earnest of broad and enl ghtened policy
of which its ever growing interests and
largely increasing traffic are the best
proofs of successful results

The American Way.

As a rule the American never wants to re-
tire. Ea has an idea that it is his duty ito die
with the harness on" Accordingly he keeps
himself in the traces, he works day and night,
his hours of recreation are reduced to mimi
mum, he doesn't even give himself sufficient
time to eat his meals in such a way that his
food can be the most easily digested, the ten
sion Of his nervous system is rarely if ever
entirely relaxed He has his wish, he dies
with the harness on" but his death takes
place eight or ten years earlier than it would
if he had known how to do his work without
excitement, and to give himself the repose
that there is another alternative to which
death would be preferable, for, with enfeebed
mind he exists during the latter part of his
life in mental condition requiring the
watchful care of his friends or his incarcera-
ton within the wall of a lunatic asylum.
l have said that this is the fault of the
average American, not by any means in
tending to imply that there are not many
who are wise enough to act differently and
also many who, Notwithstanding their sins
against the laws of their being manage to
escape in this world, at least, the full punish
nent for their offenses. But I do mean to
say that such cases are infinitely more COM
mon among us than among any other nation
on the face of the earth and that Americans,
more than any other people, are so consti-
tuted. either from birth education, that
undue mental excitement is a necessary fac
tor to their existence. A Ham

Up in a Balloon.

Our ship goes softly on its way-higher and
higher, the earth seems bigger and bigger, as
the circular line it makes with the sky grows
larger and larger. With two and q quarter
tons weight, still our bird mounts rapidly
upward-now two miles, now two and half.
We sail far above the fields of yellow wheat
and dark green corn of Illinois. Rivers are
mere white threads, and lakes are patches of
silver set into a carpet of many hues. The.
forest trees are bushes that look as if a small
scythe might easily NOW them down. The
thin air and our rapid upward flight makes
my head roar, as if with the sounds of noisy
drums; feel dizzy-ike one about to faint
away.
Now we are 5000 feet high-nearly three
miles.
Our ship has not yet come to the extreme
top of her flight. We are far above the
clouds Over the edges of the thick white
yapor we gaze at the earth spread out below
like map, with green and gray and brown
and yellow spots thereon. From the dis
comfort of 96 degrees of heat in the shade
hen VIC left the earth we have come to the
chilly comfort of 37-a drop of nearly 60 de-
grees il less than a hour. This is a quick
turn-oIe that never comes to man or beast
below. Yet up here, where we are sailing
softly, the air is 50 dry that the cold affects
u3 much less than would the same tempera-
ture the earSh'5 surface.-St. Nicholas.

TO DRY DEAD BODIES.

A Young Inventors Scheme for "KnOck-
ing OUT Cemeteries and CrematOries.
Another answer to the question of how best
to dispose of the dead has been given by j.
q. Levers, of Washington. He has invented
q plan which he believes to be superior to
cremation, burial or any other ancient or
modern method of treating dead bodies. The
new Mausoleum and Safe Deposit for the
Dead is the name of this new contrivance.
Mr.. Meyers plan may be regarded
compromise between the two extremes of
interment and cremation. In fireproof
building spaces will be provided just large
enough to hold a single coffin. When coffin
with a dead body is placed in one of these the
door of the apartment is Theoretically sealed.
Running from these apartments are tubes
which bring air into the deadrooms and also
carry it downward by a forced draft to
central furnace below, where are consumed
all gases and fluids escaping from the bodies.
Dead bodies treated in this manner WILL in a
short time, it is claimed, become naturally
preserved or dried, and SO remain.
Ample provision will be made to prevent
the cntombing of persons really dead A re-
ceivinG room will be provided with an cleo
trlcal apparatus So arranged that the slight
est movement i'll the coffin will set off an
alarm. This viii continue for hours, if need
be, and will also prove an indicator which
VII draw attention to the place where the
movement occurred. If, again, for any rea-
son the removal of the dead should be de-
sired, tie bodies in the mausoleum, unlike
those il gloomy pyramids of Gizeh, are al
ways accessible and in such state of preser-
walton as to make a transfer practicable and
comparatively easy. Arrangements will
also be made for embalming bodies and for
entombing those treated in this way that
they may be seen at any time by friends.
By the adoption of this system, Mr.. Meyers
maintains, body snatching gill be made i'm
possible. There will be but a single entrance
TO the building, guarded day and night. Yet
Notwithstanding all these appointments the
cost of entombing i'll the mausoleum will not
exceed that of respectable interment in any
well known cemetery. Families could be ac-
cOLcmOdated with sections, including as
many single apartments desired. The
fronts Of these apartments can be adorned
as e-aborately as a tombstone, and
VITA fully as great variety of ornamen
tation. An ordinary mausoleum could be
paced within the limits of city as well as
on the cemetery grounds, and be far less OBJ
iectioCable if built and managed as proposed,
than the average brewery or sugar refinery
