BASE BALL.
New England League.


The Portlands will play the LowellS here
this afternoon. McAuliffe and Rooms will
probably be the battery for the Portlands.
The management extend an invitation to the
ladies' to attend the game this afternoon, and
hereafter one day Of each week will be ladies'
day.
MANcHEsTERs, o; PoRTLANDs, /.
The glory gained Memorial Day appeared
to be enough for the Portlands, for yesterday
they played a lazy game, being especially
weak at the bat Once they had man on
third with no ene out, but strike out, pop
fly and an easy grounder to second base were
all that could be accomplished. Irwin, the
new pitcher, proved himself capable of balk-
ing the hard hitters of the Manchesters
Half Of the hits off him were mere scratches.
The Portlands scored their only run in the
second inning Brady was hit by pitc he'd
ball, stole second and third and scored on a
tumble by Coughlin. The Manchesters got
two runs in the second on base on balls and
single hit. K0ons and Sutter then allowed
fly ball to fall between them and both men
scored. In the six Scheffler hit safe, stole
second and third and Klusman batted him in.
Fusselbach's poor throw and base on balls,
with a hit by Scheffier gave two more runs in
the seventh innings. The Portlands showed
the lack of lively coaching all through the
game. They had lots OF opportunities to
score, but they quietly struck out or hit lit
tie fles to the in-felders. The score.follows

ATLANTA, Ga, May 31.-Last Friday, in
the lower part of Dawson county, one of the
most unique distilleries ever run was cap
tured, and with it an aged colored man
named Abe Strickland. Deputy Marshal
Boice had wind of the fact that an illicit dis
tillery was in operation in that county, and
on Friday set out to locate it. But SO in
geniously was it constructed that it was with
the greatest difficulty the establishment was
found. About dark he came across an open
field in cultivation, and to his surprise a
small stream of smoke was issuing from a
spot seemingly as If it was an interior fire.
Accordingly the place where the smoke was
belching up he found a small stovepipe pro-
truding about two feet from the surface, and
and near by small hole in the earth, from

gone home. DR.. Kynett moved that the

greeted with cries of "Go hire halP' and
similar remarks.
The convention then adjourned sine die.

Do you know all liquid sarsaparillas and blood
purifiers are unsafe TO use? They contain a large
proportion OF alcohol which not only neutraizes

but Is liable 10 create an appetite for alcoholic
stimulants. To the young they are particularly
dangerous, and parents cannot be too careful to
avoid them. The danger of arousing any latent

The Senate committee On Judiciary today

that the committee would report favorably

accused of haste and want of the roughness

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The following

WASHINGTON, May 3i.-The following
was issued at o'clock this morning:
Since the alarming occurrence noted in the buI-
letin issued late last night General Sheridan has
slowly recovered from his prostration. he has
grown easier and his pulse is stronger. He has
slept pretty well during the last three hours.
At II o'clock General Sheridan was re-
ported to be resting quietly. Colonel Kellogg
said at that time there had been no material
change in his condition since early in the
morning.
AT 11.S0 Colonel Kellogg, who has been in
constant attendance upon Gen. Sheridan
since his first attack, reported the General as
resting quietly, without artificial aid. There
had been no recurrence Of the severe cough
ing since the last bulletin and the situation
at this hour was rather more encouraging.
AT 1.30 I. m. there had been no marked
change in Gen. Sheridan's condition since
noon except possibly a shade of improve
ment. He had rested quietly without pain
and expressed himself as feeling we'll.

ALL HOPE PRACTICALLY ABANDONED.
Recurrences of the Heart Trouble
Exhausting General Sheridan.
He Rallies From the Attacks with
Increasing Difficulty.
Prominent Physicians Summoned to
His Bedside.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-General Sheri-
dams condition is growing worse and worse.
Tonight hope is well nigh abandoned. There
have been several occurrences Of the heart
trouble, and each attack apparently left him
weaker than the previous. 1t is becoming
more and more difficult to rally him. His
breathing is labored and heavy, and his lungs
are gradually getting more and more oedema-
tous. Oedema has been again noticed In his
legs which indicates that the circulation is
growing more feeble. One Of the physicians
summarizing the case, said; 1.-THE General
is extremely i'll. He is in very dangerous
and critical condition, and has been getting
better and worse for the last week or ten
days. Tonight he Is very bad"
General Sheridan is perfectly conscious
and rational, and suffers no pain. except
from the difficulty in breathing. The action
acting with vigor and the next moment
fiuttering and weak. The circulation
through the lungs is slow and embarrassed.
General Sheridan shows great vitality and
composure and keeps up his spirits remark
ably. DR.. N. 3. Lincoln, one Of the most
was called in consultation this eve
ming and spent some time in the sick room.
He said that the treatment was very success
ful, and thinks the physicians managed the
case admirably. But for the promptness Of
action of those who have attended the Cen
eral, he would have died at various times
during the illness. 1t is difficult to say how
much longer he can be kept up. 1t is becom-
ing more and more difficult all the time.
At the request of DIR. O'Reilly, DR.. Pepper,
professor of clinical medicine and provost of
the University OF Pennsylvania, has been
telegraphed for, and will arrive at about 4
a. m.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-1.30 a. m.-So far
as learned there is no change in General
Sheridan's condition since the last bulletid.
Drs. Byrne and Yarrow are in immediate
charge. Everything is quiet and no more
bulletins will be issued until 3 a. m. An
unofficial report says the General is slowly
sinking
rs 90 a. m. Gen. Sheridan has had slight
attack of coughing, but otherwise there does
not appear to be any change. He dozes at
times, and when he awakens lies back fa-
tlgued and exhausted. 1t Is not believed
that there Is any reason to apprehend any
immediate danger Another bulletin will be
issued at o'clock. DR.. O'Reilly received a
telegram short time ago, and told an at
tendant not TO waken anyone until 4.30. 1t
Is believed the telegram was from DIR. Pep
per, and the bulletin is delayed in order that
he may be present at the consultation.
