BERGEN POINT BksTS BAYONNE.

The New Jersey Athletics Lessen the
Bayonne Athletics' Conceit.
Although vanquished without much
difficulty the team of the Bayonne Row
ing and Athletic Association made a
fairly good showing yesterday afternoon
in trying conclusions with bat and bali on
the Avenue B Bayonne, grounds against
the nine of the New Jersey Athletic Club
AS the contest was between local organ
izations it attracted an audience of be-
tween six and seven hundred Bayonnese
and Bergen Pointers.
The Bayonne team was strengthened by
Jones, the backstop of the Railway Ath-
letic Clubs nine, and Simondfnger and
Hull. former members of the same aggre-
CATION. Walter Currie, the WinthrOps'
twirler, pitched for the New Jerseys.
During the first three innings the game
was so closely played that the Bayonnese
imagined their team would emerge victo-
rious, and they worked themselves up to
such an intense pitch of enthusiasm that
when their favorites went to pieces in the
fourth inning and the visitors took the
lead they had hard work to recover from
the collapse.
The New Jerseys went first to the bat
and were shut out with Joe Reilly
stranded on first, having got the bag by a
clean hit. When the home team came in
Jones surprised everybody by hustlng
the first ball Currie delivered over the
left field fence. The hit was good for a
home run, but poor coaching caused
Jones to stop at third base. A single by
Holland let him score. The Bergen
Pointers did not tally until the third
heat, when two wild throws by Squier let
Joe Reilly make the circuit.
In the fourth inning Mabie banged the
ball over the left field fence and scored a
home run. Umpire Fass at first had
called him out on the home plate, the
ball having been returned by outsiders

THE NEGRO RIOT.
A Dastardly Outrage at Greenwood,
Miss.-Chasing the Culprits.

4At5ct-NA@SAA6 thO SuAPNAtSs
NEW ORLEANS, September 5, 1sS9.-The
Times Democrats Greenwood, Miss,
special says:-The most dastardly out
rage since the beginning of the trouble in
the upper part of this county was per-
petrated by George Allen and his squad
of about fifteen negroes Tuesday night
by the burning of Mr.. Jamieson's store, at
for powder and shot. Jameson re-
fused to let them have any, and
they told him they would either burn his
house or kill him. They caught him, set
fire to his house, firing off guns in the
meantime and making other demonstra-
tions. Jameson got away and went to
Sunnyside, informing the people of what
had happened.
About the same time a negro deserter
from Aliens band came up and offered
to pilot the whites to Aliens camp at Lone
Star Bend, if they would spare him and
his two brothers, who were among
Aliens men. About two hundred men at
once started for the camp, but it has not
been learned whether they succeeded in
capturing Allen yet. 1t now transpires
that the negro whom Allen killed last
Monday night for refusing to take up
arms against the whites, was his own
brother.
Yesterday evening the Sheriff's posse
got sight of the two negroes, who had
gone to Cleveland for ammunition, when
the negroes jumped from their mules and
fled into the canebrake. The posse cap
tured the mules and 1900 Winchester rifle
cartridges, ten pounds of buckshot and
five pounds of powder.
Further particulars from up the river
confirm the statement that the four negro
leaders, who were killed yesterday were
killed by a sheriff's posse while resisting
arrest There have been a great many
arrests made, but, as they all proved in
nocent, they were released.
The number of hostile negroes is now
estimated to be from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty, and they are in large
squads, one of which is led by George
Allen and the other by Lew Backett. The
leaders declare that they will not be
taken alive

A DANGEROUS WALL.

1t Stands with Difficulty on the Astor
Place Side of No. 12 school.
The residents in the vicinity of No. 12
school, at Astor place and Crescent ave-
nue., are complaining OF the unsightly
condition of the brick wall enclosing the
school yard on Astor place. Some time
ago the wall was declared by the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners to be
unsafe, and an order to tear 1t down was
issued
The capstone and a small portion Of
the wall were removed, when it was sud-
denly discovered that there was no money
available to pay for the work, and opera
tons upon the wall were suspended.
The attempt which was made to take
the wall down, so loosened the bricks
that everyone who walks near the wall
does SO at the risk of q broken head.
