Milwaukee was especially anxious to
open the season at home, with st. Paul
aslan opponent, for the teams are an
cient enemies and their diamond con-
tests have invariably been for blood.
just now the Sanity City athletes seem
far and away in advance Of the
Cream Cityites, but io-day's game will
be hot one, nevertheless. ''Uncle
Ezra'' Sutton's boys got into the city
last night, profusely decorated with the
Maltese crosses of court plaster left as
tokens of Sioux City's esteem. They
got square meal at the Clarendon, and,
after rubbing down with liniment, re-
tired early to be in condition for to-day.

President Stern was passing down Vine
street he saw Viau in drug store.
He called him out to explain some
differences in the accounts be-
tween the club and Viau. He
never for an instant suspected the
pitcher Of being other than duly sober.
What was his surprise, then. to find the
unmistakable Odor of a brewery issuing
from the respiratory organs of his Puri.
tanical pitcher. He could hardly be.
lieve it, but second Whit, stronger
than the first, lifted him from his feet.
''YOu have been drinking. Viau, and
it will cost you $100,'' said the presi.
dert.

IL don't care whether it was two or
200; you know your contract, and it
will cost you 800 cold"
Viau tried to argue the case, but the
president would not stop. He is the
only man on the Cincinnati team who
has tasted intoxicating liquor this sea-
son, and the severe penalty will have a
good effect !

of Stanford, in Fergus county, some
highwaymen held up the stage of the
Great Falls and Billings line, which left

KALAMAZOO, Mich, May S.-A
blocking accident occurred about 6:3O
o'clock this evening at the West Main
street crossing of the Michigan Central
railroad. A street car. containg seven
ladies' and two gentlemen was crossing
:he track when switch engine dashed
upon it from the East at a high
rate of speed, and the driver being
unable to get the car out of the way
the helpless passengers were hurled to,
q terrible death. 1t was but the work
of a moment and the fearful catas-
trophe was over. The street car was
carried almost to Academy street, the
pieces flying in all directions and the
human freight being mangled in a
fr;gbtful manner. Those in the car
we're:
MRS. ALEXANDER HADDOCK,
MRS NJ E. WATTLES,
MISS GERTRUDE TILLOTSON,
MRS. GEORGE SMILEY,
MRS. MIDDLETON,
MRS. VAN ANTWERP,
MRS. s. \. GIBSON,
MRS. JONATHAN BARNES,
L. c. LULL,
DIR. SUTTON.
The first six were killed, two being
found dead in the cattle guard, one in
the creek near by, two on the track and
Mrs. Middleton died an hour later. She
was thrown in the roadway. Mrs. Glib
son was injured in the head and side,
and Mrs. Barnes was bruised badly.
The male passengers both escaped. The
driver of the car escaped by jumping.
The switch engine was running at a
high rate of speed. The gates at the
crossing where the accident occurred
are not used between $50 and 6;5S
p. M, the gatekeeper going home at
that time. This custom probably de-
ceived the driver of the street car, who
was a new man, and probably supposed
that the gates would OF course be down
