lady at the piano put forth her best
efforts and the strains of sweet music
were wasted on the balmy breeze, while
the snake looked steadily at the piano
and did not bat an eye.
at this juncture Mr.. Steadman ar
rived, bringing with him a brawny son
of the Emerald Isle, to assist in the
snake killing. The first proposition of
Mr.. Steadman was to shoot the snake,
but other counsel prevailed, and the
Irishman, armed with long "suake
pole - fastened the reptile to the bureau
by pressing and rolling him until there
was no chance for life to remain. Then,
to make sure of the job, Pat took hold
just behind the snakes head and
squeezed until he was satisfied the
"nake was broken,'' and with dull
thud cast it on the hearth, and went his
way with Mr.. Steadman, receiving the
thanks of the ladies before going.
After a time Mr.. Clip Greer, who is
Mrs Hatheon's brother, returned from
the Spring Palace and was informed of
the snake-killing and all the Incidents
He was shown the dead snake, as evil
dence of good faith, when Clip ex-
claimed, "You people ought to be
ashamed to beat up my rubber snake in
this way.

quired.

Hard Hitting-Tha Score-Notes.

Fort Worth's ball team won game yesterday
The victims were the Wacos. There was but q
meager attendance, but the playing was spirited
and interesting, and the result was in doubt
until the third man in the Waco team was
elected in the ninth inning. Eight to fEeAs;s
the final score, in favor of Fort Worths Smith
was in the box for Fort Worth, Kittle
for the visitors. The latter was
rather wild, but his curves were eff
fective and hard to reach, while
Smith was at his speediest, particularly in the
first four innings, during which only one man
got to first base, and that one got no farther.
George Maurer was in the right garden again
after long lay off. He mufted the first dy that
that was to be expected from want of practice,
and his general playing was vigorous and
business-like. Rourke's error was on
an overthrow. His general playing was
He made a two dagger every time he was at bat,
but as he was at bat only once, being given his
his record is not so marvellous.
Duane carried off the batting honors
hitting for seven bases, two triples and sim
gle, with four times at bat. Rodemaker comes
next with two three-base hits Roddy's fielding
was also frst-class. Swift did the best fielding
he has yet done in Fort Worth; in fact this man
is improving with every game he plays. 1t will
be observed, too, that he hits the ball with
liable frequency, and now occupies fifth position
in the batting order instead OF eighth as few
days ago.
Land carried off the batting honors of the
Wacos, but they were not heavy, and he had no
difficulty Juggling them ont of the grounds. He
got a triple and single with three times at the
bat.
Fogarty took day of yesterday, and the first
bag was covered with the distinguished grace
and dignity that usually characterizes the work
of the only Mike o. Conner.
The same teams will contest again with good
chances for the success of the Panthers, for
Wehrle will be in the box and the field will be
covered with the best talent of the team.

ham, Ala, for Next Meeting.

SARATOGA, N. Y, May l9.-In
the Presbyterian general assembly this
morning DR.. Kempshill moved that the
report of the committee on methods of
altering the constitution be referred
back to the committee enlarged by
seven new members fairly representing
both sides with instructions to report as
early as possible TO this assembly. This
was seconded by DR.. Patton and opposed
by Dr.. Roberts, chairman of the COM
mittee, who thought that the matter had
not been sufficiently debated. After
debate DR.. johnson of ChicaSo
moved to lay the motion to refer
on the table, which was lost.
The question of recommital was then
deferred and the matter dropped for the
present.
The board of missions for freedmen
made its twenty fifth annual report 1t

are now reached by their good influence.
The receipts of the board during
the year were Sol 200, gain over last
year of Sal 900. The freedmen them
selves have given toward the support of
their own churches and schools $40 900.
Nine new churches have been organized.
In the Carolinas, immigration
of negroes to the West has
depleted many Of our churches.
In Georgia the colored population is in
creasing rapidly, and is now about 900,
600, and in no state, except perhaps
Texas, are the negroes getting property
so fast. There is q similar progress
in Arkansas, where many of those who
have left the seaboard are settling the
country. Negroes as whole are multi

eating them, but in regions where our
