Center of the Famous Battle Ground.
vICKsBURG, MISS, May 29.-The
veterans of the blue and gray were ban
gu, tied at Champion Hill, East Point,
to-day, returning from East Point
in the evening. Two trains con-
tanning 500 persons left Vicksburg
for Champion Hill. Two others from
Jackson also brought an immense
crowd and the people of that neighbour
hood were al so assembled there, making
an audience of 1900 persons. Capt.
johnson of J ackson delivered the adj
dress of welcome and Col. e. T. Lee
responded for the Federal veterans.
A beautiful poem written by
Mrs. W. A. Davy of Bolton was read by
her daughter, Miss Celia Davy, and
greatly affected the audience. Hon. C.
e. Hooker followed with an imprisoned
Grafton of the most pathetic tenor. Din
ner was announced and the multitude
then adjourned to another por-
ton of the grove where there
were tables aggregating 700 feet in
length loaded with all manner of delica-
Cles. AiIer dinner lne people again as
sembled at the speakers stand and were
addressed by Governor Stone,
Gen. s. D. Lee and Maj.
Ethel Barksdale, whose remarks
breathed the highest spirit of patriotism
and received enthusiastic applause. AT
$3.50 D. m. the ceremonies of the day
were over and soon afteryards the crowd
began TO disperse. During the day the
battlefield had been thoroughly explored
by the veterans and many relics
OF the field were secured. The bar
becue was held on the hill that was
the center of the fight. Sears of the bat
tie are still to be seen on the trees in
places where the conflict was the hottest.
At p. m. the trains moved of to their
respective destination, but double trips
were necessary, as during the day the
road carried 5000 passengers to the
grounds. The day passed off
without an unusual accident, and could
not have been better conducted.
The visitors 20 Port Gibson report an
attendance of 5000 persons. and that

1t is 8 weI-known fact that capital attracts
capital, and for this reason it is always wise to
invest ones money where there is most wealth.
Even crazy man would admit that great i'm
provements are bound TO follow the investment
of the millions of dollars that have recently been
placed in North Dallas land by the Philadelphia,
Boston and Dallas capitalists. They didn't buy
the property to raise corn on. They bought il
because they knew it to be valuable, and knew
that with the expenditure of money they are now
beginning to use in the establishment of facto-
ries. the construction Of an electric railroad and
magnificent drives, the property would be ten
fold more valuable.
The following extracts from recent issues of
the News are az indication of what is going on
in this part Of the city:

by him in the same place last
night. He finally struck Bradfield in
the face, at the same time applying to
him an opprobious epithet. The latter
who is a much smaller man than Null
len, drew knife and slashed Mullen
along the side of the neck. The dullness
of the knife prevented a fatal wound !,

cred. 1t was some moments before Null
len discovered that he had been cut, but
even after that he wanted to go on with
the quarrel. Bradield was arrested,
and Mullen was taken to the
son sewed up his wounds. He
was very abusive and boisterous at the
station, and applied to the officers who
were trying to serve HIM the same epithet
that caused Bradford to cut him. His
wound is not dangerous. The officers
know little or nothing of the history of
either of the men.

League and brotherhood schedules.


Erecisl to the Gazette.
New YORK, May 29.-That meeting of the Ball
Players league leaders Will be held in this city
tomorrow is admitted by gentleman intimate
ly connected with the organization of the league.
That the schedule and dates conflicting with
those of the National league will be prominent
topic OF the meeting is beyond doubt. An In
dianapolis correspondent makes the statement
that soma of the stockholders are unwilling that
eastern clubs should depart upon the comirg
western series to continue conflicting schedule
in the face OF the greatly decreased attendance
compared with that of last season until an eff
fort has been made to correspondingly decrease
the club expenses or increase attendance by re-
arrangement of schedule. The same correspond
ent also hears tn At the league is anticipating q
change in the brotherhood schedule, and that if
such move is made the league will begin to
change its schedule series from one city to an
other in such way that the Encouragement of
the brotherhood schedule will not afford the lat
ter organization any relief from conflicting dates
On the other hand, it is alleged that the propo-
sition to change dates has been quietly submit
ted by the National league to the Players league.
Both sides are reticent, but important develop
ments are expected from to-morrow's meeting

fighter on the Pacific slope, while Brown has
won four battles in Texas. this being his first
defeat
