The BrOoklyns i'm All Probability to
 open the Grounds Next Week-The
 Last Polo Game T0-NIght - Other
 News.
 Manager McGunniQle of the Brooklyns tel- egraphed Manager Spence yesterday that he would like to play here on the 4th and 5th of April. which dates come on Thursday and Friday of next week. An answer was sent saying that the games would be played provided the team could be gotten together here so as to have two or three days practice. Manager Spence then telegraphed to every player asking each one if he could be here on April 1. Those who will be here are Brady, Walsh and Gslligan, out6elders; Corcoran, Spence, Sullivan and Sheehan, infelders; Lally, Carsey and Morgan, pitchers; Ernest Smith, catcher. Dillon and Fitzgerald will not be here until the third, but this will give them no practice. If Horner and Warner can be here by Monday so that there will be two catchers, the Brooklyns will be sure of opening the grounds and playing two games.

Storm Stories.

The heavy rain that drenched this
section and extended to all portions of
the state west of US was accompanied
by the most powerful electrical display
known in years. Several persons in
the city, among them J. B. Case.
Sherm Ellison, w. Thayer and others,
received severe shocks but no serious
injuries occurred. The electric light
service was entirely demoralized for a
time and many were badly frightened.
1t was rumOred this afternoon that a
house had been burned and a man
killed in the southeast part of the
county but diligent inquiry failed to
secure details.

She was born Jan. Is, 1S43, at Hamil-

father and mother MI. and Mrs. Beaver,
who were keeping hotel at Hamilton

A SUMNER MEETING.
Fourth of July to See Another Race
Meeting at the Driving Park.

Meeting at the OflVInS <arK.
AS will be seen by another column
the Abilene Driving Park & Fair asso-
citation has a directors meeting to-
night. The REFLECTOR representa-
tive called upon MIR. w. G.. Cowles, the
president of the ASSOCIATION, this morn
ing and inquired the plans of the COM
pany for the coming season. "We
have intended all the time" said Mr..
Cowles, affably, "to have a meeting
this summer and two if possible. The
town lot complications have prevented
our being able to announce specific
dates, owing to the condition of the
real estate titles, etc. Now,
however, everything. is clear and
our meeting tonight is to make ar
rangements for racing season this
summer. The probability is that an
early date will be chosen, perhaps as
early as the first of July. A meeting
on the glorious Fourth would attract
more people probably than any other
time. Everybody wants vacation
then and some place to go to; and if
the city should at the same time have
q celebration Abilene would be assured
of having an immense crowd in the
city.
THE track is in first-class shape and
will, of course, be made much better as
the season advances and more training
is done on it. The fame of the course
has gone abroad in the land and we
have been inundated with letters max
ing inquiries and requesting training
privileges. The remarkably fast time
made last season has caused every
horseman in the West to want
to bring his flyers to Abilene.
So much difficulty have the horsemen
had in understanding the unparalleled
qualities of our track that they cannot,
some of them, believe that the course
is full mile long. To satisfy them it
has been measured six or seven times,
by ourselves and by outsiders, always
with the same result. 1t is in fact
slightly over length, being one mile and
six feet long"
The park will be an attractive place
for all lovers of fast horses this season |
and if the Fourth of July meeting is
arranged for we may expect large at
tendance and some good sport.

here except their own family. their
nearest neigLbor being on Turkey
Creek, some six miles distant. The
family settled on the well-known farm
of our esteemed citizen, Mr.. G.. r.
Lamb, which the family now occupies
and where the diseased breathed heI

although much sickness and many
trials fell to the lot of the family.
Mrs. Lamb was a christian; she loved
her Lord and Savior. During her last
sickness her physician took occasion at
times of special relief to call her atten.
tion to the fact not to forget giving
thanks to God. She would say, 81
always thank my Lord for all his help"
She joined the associate Reformed
church in Nov. 1852 and was taken into
the Congregational church at Enter
prise by letter in 1882. She led an ex-
emplary christian life and had special
love for the Sunday school.
Her last sickness, phthisis, was of
long duration, beginning in the earlier
part of October, 1888 and continuin 9
to date of daath, and gave ample time
to ripen christian graces. She never
murmered nor complained of her sore
affection but patiently suffered to her
last. Being asked on the last day of
her staying with us if she had peace
with God, she answered, Yes, have"
She was willing to abide by the will of

TIE ABsoRBrHe QUESTION.
Dicklnson's Share in the Oklahoma
Foolishness Likely to be Consid-
cradle One.

Where two or three are gathered to.
gether a conversation cannot be long
continued before the question will
arise, "Goin' ter Oklahomy?" Ninety
nine out of every hundred to whom
the question is put reply that they
would like to, just to see the fun if for
| no other reason. That seems to be
about the status of the public's feeling
on the question, all would like to go
but only a few have really made up
their mind to take the step.
In the gray light of yesterday morn
ing ]. S. Rambo with two or three as
sistants packed up the belongings of
his small livery on North Third and
started for the promised land. He has
an idea that he can make some, money
transferring passengers from the depots
to their claims and the land offices.
Perhaps he can. Mr.. P. VanDyke
fitted out several ''schOoners" which
were started yesterday. Mr.. Van
Dyke will follow by railroad. Us.
Lyons and VIM. Sickle started this
morning in wagon of their own.
A party of Flora township citizens,
A. L. Vickers, Ex-Postmaster Hanks
and several others were in town Satur-
day purchasing stores for an excursion
southwark. They started yesterday.
Mr.. Vickers informed the REFLECTOR
that the party would join a ''colony"
at Wichita and go straight to some
choice land already located by the lead
ers of the colony" While this
scheme is very pretty one it is en-
tirely fairy-like in it's character and the
cOlOny's exclusive little heaven may
prove to be also desired by some one
else. With 10000 homesteads for
1OO, 900 people it is not likely that much
favoritism will be allowed and it is a
patent fact that these colony schemes
which just now are flourishing so glori-
ously are in most cases barefaced
frauds.
The rumOr was current on the street
today that j. Fl. Brady would join the
throng and open land office in the
new territory. Being questioned re-
garding the report, he said:
"Yes, am going to Oklahoma if
nothing prevents. Just now my family
is unwell and may not be able to get
away, but if 1 can L am going. AS to
the land Office part of it, that will be
determined when get there. L want
to look the ground over and if the pros
pect seems favorable 1 shall probably
open branch office there"
Besides these there are a number Of
prominent citizens who will go, as we
said before, 'just to see the fun
They do not now intend to make any
purchases or settlements but are curious
to see the country and while they are
about it propose to take IN the most re-
markable movement of modern times
which will be on exhibition next Mon
day. Among these are A. s. Sher-
wood, Geo. F. Livingston, Henry
Lifts, Geo. Hoisington, j. D. McMas.

The Tramp Nuisance.

SAVANNAH, GA, Feb. 25.-Editor Morn
ing Netos: On Sunday morning last the
attention of the police was called to the
fact that the city is infested by tramps.
The tramps know when to call at resi-
dences and ask for warm meal, and that
is when all the men folks of the house have
gone to their places of business. They
also watch the police and
know how to avoid them.
The tramps knock at the back gates. if
locked, or walk into the back yard without
an invitation if they can find an entrance,
and impudently ask for warm breakfast
or dinner. These people are nuisance and
are dangerous to our homes and to the com
munity.
The police should be instructed to make a
vigorous effort to suppress the traups, and
every citizen should assist the police. If a
few # the tramps were put on the chain
gang the tramp Paternity would give Sa-
vaunah a wide berth. Will not the mayor
lend helping hand to get rid of the tramp
nuisancel j. A. MOORE.

leaving the temperate zone to penetrate
into the frozen waters of the far south,

knowledge of navigation among ice as his
chief equipment, and in order to make any
length of stay there he would need a vessel

the battering rams of the dangerous foes.
What is the life history of these floating
ice islands and icebergs? They are allShed
from the parent icecap that surrounds the
pole Extremes of frost and the gradual
projection of the icecap in to the sea are the
| causes of their disruption. Here, for cen
turtles perhaps, the great icecsp grows and
moves like a living thing. Eacn season
fresh layer of snow is added to its thickness,
" hich the rays of the sun convert into ice
more or less solid. Slowly the huge cum
brous mass moves over the lower-lving
lands and through the valleys toward the
sea, grinding under its enormous weight
rocks and boulders, which, from the CO.
hesive nature or ice, it sometimes gathers
up and conveys along with 1t; and this de-
bris Is eventually deposited on the sea bot
tom.
The coloring Of the bergs is magnificent.
The general mass closely resembles loaf
sugar; the caves and crevices are Of the
deepest and purest azure blue; at night they
emit luminous glow, and there are reasons
to believe that many are to some extent
pho, phorescent Like the bergs of the arc
tic seas, they are bounded by perpendicular
cliffs on all sides. Some Of them are more
than two miles and some as many as four
miles in circumference, while bergs four
miles in diane er have also been seen. They
have a uniform hight of about IT'S feet, 80
per cent of their volume being submerged.
