THE LEAGUES VACANCY.
AUGUSTUS DROP OUT BREAKS
INTO THE SCHEDULE.

Macon Likely to Take the Defunct
Clubs Place-Atlanta Jubilsnt Over
Augustus Failure and Hopes to Gain
by 1.-THE Southern League Race
In the Big Leagues.
Savannah will have lay off in base ball
for part of this week anyway. Augusta
was scheduled to. play here to-day, to-
morrow and Wednesday, and the Savannah
club was scheduled for Augusta the last
three days in the week. The Augusta
games viii be of unless Macon or some
other club takesup the defunct clubs sched-
ule. The Chronicle, speaking of Augustus
drop out, says:
1.-THE Augusta base ball club is no more.
No longer will the ubiquitous omnipresent
small boy shout with derision at the blue
coated guardian of the peace, who strives
to keep him off the fence around the
diamond field. No longer will the little
kids hustle to gel the fouls that go over the
fence No longer win the Augusta club
strive for the winrjng run that never
came No longer will G1e festive amateur
umpire essay or make close decisions against
the Augustus, for the Augusta base ball
club is thing of the past. Requiescat in
pace. The Augustus died hard. They
stayed In as long as they could make ex-
penses at home, but when the expenses
failed to come they necessarily had to go.n
Atlanta is happy because of Augustus
failure. The Constitution says: THE news
Of the demise OF the Augusta club will be
received with genuine delight in the other
league cities. Augusta has been the ''pud-
ding, and her presence in the league has
been a mystery almost from the start. 1t
Is with a sigh of relief that the news of the
collapse of that team will be received.
Harry Grigg's Macon team will take Au-
gusta's place The Macon club has demon
strated its ability to play ball by defeating
both Atlanta and Columbus. Everybody
will wish Macon every success. May sne
beat Savannah three games this week"
While Savannah would like to see a bet
ter club than Augusta in the league 1t is
sorry that the Augustus players arJ out.
The Augustus were pudding" for every
club they met. 1t is expected that Macon
will come in in Augustus place and will
probably take up its schedule Tomorrow or
Wednesday.

Death of Charles Rossignol in Calves
ton, Tex, Last Week.

Death of Charles Rossignol in Calves
ton, Tex, Last Week.
Mr.. Charles Rossignol, a native Of this
city, died in Galveston, Tex, on June 10,
in his s0th year. Mr.. Rossignol was sent
to Europe at an early age, and was educated
in Paris. On his return to this country he
began business life, but shortly after in
an unfortunate personal rencontre in St
Mary's, Ca, he killed Mr.. Hardee, which
caused him to remove to Texas.
The Galveston NetCs, speaking of the de-
ceased, says: HE was man of fine
scholarly attachments, and whom quite
young he came to Texas as private secre-
tary to Col. Flood, the second minister of
the United States government to the repub-
lie of Texas. With Col Flood the deceased
came to Galveston in 1882 and has resided
here ever since Before the late war he
was appointed deputy clerk Of the supreme
court OF Texas under Gen. Tom Green, who
was killed in the war when Mr.. Rossignol sue
ceeded him as clerk, which position no held
till the close Of the war. Later he was APP
pointed clerk Of the criminal district court
at Galveston under Judge Love, from
which position he was removed during the
days Of reconstruction. In 1873 he was
elected clerk Of the district court of Calves
ton county, which position he held till No
vembsr, 1882, since which time he has been
in retirement. He was never married,
hence leaves no family, but after Col Floods
death he became as one of that family, by
whom he was ever tenderly regarded"

Base Ball Bat and Pistol.

Cox's boarding house, at State and Mont
gomery streets, was the scene of lively
row about II o'clock last night. The fracas
began between F. NJ Cox, proprietor of the
house, and some of the boarders whom he
claimed were too noisy. According to the
story of witnesses of the ARRAY Cox seized
Evans, Jr., one of the boarders, without
any provocation, beating him over the
head and in the face. Evans
grabbed pistol that was lying on
a bureau and fired it, and then threw it
away. In the affray he was badly beaten,
and was bitten several times by Cox. The
pistol shot attracted quite a crowd in the
street Mr.. Evans said last night that he
will have a warrant out for Cox's arrest
this morning.

ON RAIL AND OhossTIn.
Local and General Gossip In Railway
CircleS

There is a movement on foot to put in a
through line of Pullman sleeping cars from
Atlanta to Louisville, by way of Chatta-
nooga and Nashville.
1t is reported that on his recent trip from
Chattanooga to Knoxville, Jay Gould's
train made the run over the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad between the
two cities, distance of 112 miles, in 100
minutes.
1t is thought by unrefecting people that
the cost of keeping passenger cars clean is a
mere trife, but the Pennsylvania railroad
company employs 100 men and women to
wash its cars which run into Pittsburg
The wages paid for this work amount to
$780, annually.
The Sumterville Times says that move
ment is on foot to build a railroad from
Sumterville, by the way of that place to
some point on the Orange Belt road. Con-
nections with the Florida railway and
navigation system at Sumterville, the
Florida Southern at Central Hill and
farther on with the Orange Belt road, it
will give the people along the route three
important outlets, and enable them
through these competing lines TO secure
reasonable rates Of freight for their vegeta-
bleS and fruits.

THE GEORGIA STATE GAZETTEER
The Rapid Growth of Cities and Towns
Necessitates a New Volume.

The rapid growth of the cities and towns
of Georgia. have necessitated the publica-
ton Of volume five Of the Georgia State
Gazetteer, which will be issued in October
next. A. E. Sholes is having a canvass
made of the principal cities Of Georgia, and
is in the city with the Rev. Mr.. Barclay of
Augusta, with view to a canvass of Sa-
vannah by Mr.. Barclay. Since the publi-
cation of volume four, the last state gaz-
etteer, there have been 160 postoffices es-
tablished in the state. The growth of the
larger cities has been rapid, towns
have become cities, and thriving
towns have sprung up where there
was nothing but woods two years
ago. At Tate's and Nelson, where large
marble quarries have been opened and
mills established in the past two years, the
population of the former is now about 600,
and Of the latter 500. Tallapoosa, that was
set down two years ago as having tribu-
tary population of 500, now contains 500
people. Such rapid strides have been
made by the towns and cities of the state
that the old gazetteer no longer does justice
to the empire state of the south, and it is to
be laid on the shelf to give place to the
new.
