Our New Catcher.

Augusta base ball enthusiasts will be glad TO
learn that Webster. the late catcher of the
Portlands. and more recently the back-stop
of the Nashua arrived in Augusta
on this mornings Pullman and will probably
be member of the Augusta club for the re-
mainder of the season. Webster is rather
below the medium size but very wiry and
quick. swift delivery has no terrors for
him and he has had no difficulty
this season in holding such pitch
ers as McAuliffe, Lyons and House
holder with great ease. At the time the
Portland club was sold to Nashua he stood
third on the batting list with an average of
.375. He was great favsrite at Nashua
and when that club was disbanded left host
of warm friends and admirers in that place.
DIR. Vose, formerly president Of the Port
lands, pronounces Webster the "biggest little
man that ever stood behind a bat"
While with the Portlands Webster played
several magnificent games at third base. In
Nashna he did large part of the catching
and also played several beautiful
games at short stops position, in one
of which he took nine chances
without an error. Webster is an earnest
worker, and we predict that he will "ill the
bill' on the home team.

A FRIGHTFUL CRASH
Steamer Fulda Runs Down Schooner
on the Banks.
Npw YoRK .Tuly lS

NEW I DIRK, July IS.
The steamship Fulda, which arrived on
Tuesday, from Bremen, ran down an un-
known fishing schooner on the banks of New
foundland Saturday morning, during dense
fog. The air was filled with frantic shouts,
which caused all the passengers of the Fulda
to leave the breakfast table and rush to the
deck. The scene that followed beggars de-
scription.
As soon as the Fulda could be brought to
a stand still, Capt Ringk turned around and
for over an hour searched for the wreck and
its victims. The fog refused to disclose
them and the Fulda resumed her voyage.
The wrecked fishing smack was a large two
masted schooner of regulation style.
The agent of the North German LLOYD
line in this city says that the report publish
ed in the World of the collision was greatly
exaggerated. The captain made a report of
the accident stating that the vessel struck a
schooner in a dense fog. carrying away the
bowsprit The captain alleges that this was

was not touched. The passengers on the
steamer grew excited and threw life pre-
servers overheard. but this, he says. was
unnecessary. The cause of the accident,
the captain says, was the neglect of the fish
ermen to sound their bell in the fog

w HATS IN A NAME ?"
Powderly Gives Sound Reasons for not
Changing the Name, Knights of Labor.

NEW YORK, July Is.
Mr.. Powderly has received many letters in
reference to changing the name of the
knights of Labor. The followed from an
officer is a sample:
The odium which the order has gained is
damaging to us. We have to cut loose from
the Knights of Labor before the employers
will meet us or respect us in any way.
Mr.. Powderly will reply as follows in the
next issue of the Journal of Tented Labor
What has gained the order the odium of
which the officer writes? 1t is true that
many actions of many of your members
would cause the blush to come to the cheek
of the friend of labor.
But men of better education than the work
irgmen have made mistakes before and will
again. If organized labor allows the en-
plsver to select its name il will be the slave
Those who talk of odium being attached to
the Knights of Labor, have doHe their share
to heap that odium upon the order. The of
ficers of the National Trades assembly,
which desires the change. have never
done their duty by the assemblies that are
attached to it They write to the assemblies
all about sociology and theoretical things,
but do not take the pains to write to them of
the every day affairs of life Yes, change
the name aud then ask for grace at the hands
of organized capital Change your name
and divide your forces after you have taught
the employer how to organize, and after he
has thoroughly massed his forces. Get a
new high sounding name after you have
reached your present knowledge of affairs
through the order. Play the migrate and
burn the bridges that carried you to the
place where you could see your danger in
common with other men.
