Louis James in "othel1o."

LOUIS James III .OCAcAAOs
 Louis James and Miss Marie Wainwright will appear at the opera house tomorrow evening in "Othello," MT James personat- ing the Moor, and Miss Wainwright sup porting him in Desdemona. It will be the first presentation of this piece in this city, and judging from the sale of seats the house will be packed. The New York Evening Post says: "Louis James has in contestably proved himself the only worthy successor of the older school of tragedians. His performance of the Moor of Venice last night was declared triumph by the packed audience, and at each curtain he had an enthusiastic call. He was very ex- cellently supported by Marie Wainwright, whose Desdemona is, without question, the most graceful and perfect representation that our stage has ever known"

 Death.


 Death.
 Miss Hannah Sullivan, young Hartford woman, had an experience yesterday morn ing which she will not care to repeat. She was on her way to the steamboat wharf to meet relative and had just stepped on to the track of the Valley road at the foot of State street when she was startled by the shrill whistle of locomotive. Looking around she saw an engine rapidly ap- preaching, but before she had time to leave the track it was upon her, and she went flying over the trestle to the ground. Sev- eral men who saw the girl cut parabolic curve through the air rushed to the spot ex- pecting to find the girl dead and horribly mangled. To their great surprise, how ever, Miss Sullivan had already regained her feet and save for a cut on the side of her head, was uninjured. She was taken to her home where physician dressed the wound It was a miraculous escape and one that occurs only about in century.

Little John Sowders was easily the
feature Of the second game between
st. Paul and Omaha. He neglected to
out eight men. made fine
drive over the left field fence for
home run, beat man to first with a
grounder hit TO him in the box, assisted
twelve times, and made an error, a wild
throw to second base, for which
Umpire Brennan is partly to blame, as
he was directly in the way. The rest
of the locals, however, were doing some
pretty fine ball playing themselves.
The only fielding error, outside the one
mentioned above, was a low throw by
Pickett. Carroll made a fine running
catch, Earle caught in excellent shape,
Ringo covered his base well
and Shafer and Reilly picked every
thing that came their way. Reilly was
also pounding the ball around in most
reckless fashion, each Of his hits being
for two bases. Murphy's hits were for
two sacks each, as was also that
of Carroll. The fielding of the
Omaha men was brilliant and
bad by turns. For instance, their field
ing in the first and ninth innings was
wretched, while in the fifth, sixth and
seventh they did some superb work.
They could not hit the ball, however,
and scored but once in the nine
innings. Their run was made in the
fifth inning. Maggie making a hit. going
to second on a sacrifice, to third on
wild pitch and scoring on Clarke'S hit.
st. Paul, on the other hand. scored
seven times. Murphy opened the game
with a double to the right field
and scored on Carroll'S hit to
the same territory for two sacks. The
latter took third on passed ball and
scored on Nagle's tumble. Earle taking
first. Ringo took base Oh Cooney'S
error and Earle was run down between
second and third. Ringo got two bases
on wild pitches and scored
while Veach was being put out at
first. Reilly opened the next inning
with double to left, and Pickett's sin
gle brought him in. The latter was
nipped trying to steal second, and
Sowders drove the ball over the left
field fence. The game ran along
without special incident until the
sixth inning. when Wilson had
a finger injured by wild
pitch and had to go to right field, Nagle
going behind the bat and Lovett to first
base. Reilly sent the ball to right in
the ninth for two bases, went to third
on Pikett's sacrifice and scored on
Sowder,S out. Murphy followed with
pretty double and tailed on errors by
short and pitcher The score follows:

the visitors. All of them were clear
drives over the fences, and those made
by Tebeau, Kreig and Manning cleared
the timber high and wide. The total
bases on hits were even, but Mlnneapo-
lis lost the game through inability to
empty the bases over the plate after
filling them. Only one Kansas City
man was left, while six of the locals
were anchored on the bags when the
side was retired. Still, Minneapolis
was fortunate in twice having a runner
ahead of home, while Kansas Cty's
fOur-baggerS were made on empty
bases. McCarty was paralyZed when
Jevne led off with clean hit, and after
Patton was thrown out Walsh lifted the
ball over the fence. Tebeau made long
home-run hit in the second, land BrOSnan
duplicated it in the third after Johnson'S
tumble had given Kreig life. In the
sixth Kreig drove the ball far out over
the right center fence, and then Mime
apoliS quit scoring. Kansas City began
in the second, Campau's hit, steal,
Bradley's sacrifice and McCarty'S hit,
netting an earned run. Cartwright hit

men on bases, with none out.
Jevne hit fly back of second, which

base, but Johnson caught WalSh's hot
grounder and ended the game by poor
throw which Cartwright got.
The work of Manning and Walsh at
