SUNDAY PASTIMES.
California Cricketers Score Their
First Defeat.
En- Interesting Game at the Golden Gate
Grounds-The Canoe Club Postpones
the Holiday Medal-Race.

TIE visitors 10 the Golden Gate Cricket
Grounds were treated to surprise yester-
dav. They went over expecting to see the
California Club. as usual, defeated by their
cppoUents bv a handsome margin. But The
Alameda club made a break in the m0noio-
mons succession Of one-Sided games, and not
only led their opponents by u runs IN the
first innings, but in going in to bat the sec
crd time seemed tn find little trouble IN ne
cotjatfng the hitherto effective bowling Of
their opponents, and put together lj9 runs
for the loss of half their wirkets.
TIE main credit FOR this unlocked for per-
Torrance is due to Lawrence, whose big
leg break" caused the downfall of seven
of the California batsmen. lie was even
more successful with the bat, and put to
pefber IS. mot out" in the second innings
without giving a single chance which
really came to hand. lie obtained the runs
10y good hitting all round the wicket and
played all the bowling with the same con-
fdence.
Lawrence is q recent addition to the club.
Another new member. Hogae, materially
strengthens the eleven, and it is plain from
Yesterdays game that the Alamedas will
have a e0od deal to say as to the ultimate
destination of the pennant
The Alamedas went first to the bat and
ran up a score Of 81, Spiro Low and Me
Lareu contributing the greater part Of the
runs. The CALIFORNIA; were expected to
pass this total easily, but the fates aud Law
renee ruled otherwise. Robertson opened
the innings with " ebster, and was b0Wled
after making a single. Webster was caught
at short leg with tile total unchanged, and
Blacfaye easily stumped before another run
was booked. This was bad enough start,
but two runs later Shepard got his leg In
front OF a straight delivery OF Low Sour
Wicktts for i've
GaCcsdeB, who seems to have faculty for
playing an uphill game, and Sloman, made
an effort to save the game, but the squirt was
short-hved. The other batSmen. with the
exception of Duggan and keaue, who ADDED
Is for tie last wicket, did little and lie side
was cut for 45-43 10 the bat

nents in short order and knocking up the
requisite runs, Three Of the Alameda
wickets fell IA 2idly. but MacLaren and
Lawrence made prolonged stand aud put
all chance Of victory for the California Club
out Of ire question. After MaCLaren had
been disposed of for a freely hit ~ Hogue

The California fielding was keen all
through the innings, and they played to The
last as If the game depended on It. ILe

sentative (for whom | voted), the Hon
Judge Terrell, delivered himself in
his usual oratorical fashion, not about
the act and it's effects, but upon Irish
landIordism and tenantry, ETC., etc.
Now let us briug this down to bras s
tacks. 4 politician has recently said
30 friend of mine that no one ought
to own homestead until he is able
to pay for it. That, | presume, is
also Judge Terrell's idea, since he
wants to drive mortgages out of the
state. And seeing that a large part
of our business is taking up and Civ
ing time on homestead purchase
money the idea bids fair to be realized
rs our time contracts run
out. But the foreclosed owner, / sup
pose must live somewhere. He was
an owner before with absolute control
ct th0 place and was gradually freeing
his nome from debt. Now he must
become q tenant On one of Judge Ter
reli's farms or of sOmebody else. Can
absurdity go nuther? How in the
name Of wonder IRE our young men to
become owners Unless they get time
on the price?

ants the position If Irish tenants then
we shall listen To- him with more re-
spe1t. Is he aware that an Irish ten
ant on the ground can at nominal
cost get fifteen years. lease from the
court at a rent fixed by the court, and
can At once sell his tenant right to
some one else, which in thousands of
Instances he has lone, getting bonus
from the new tenant of from five
to twenty times ne annual rent? The
English people are making great sac
ritices to convert Irish tenants into
owners; Judge Terrell is doing his
best To prevent Il Texas tenants ever
ecOming owners.
Our respected friend is very far

his eloquence and talent more than I
do Let him now COME square ont
and explain himself Stimulating
the feeling which bring men nearer to
the brutes is not craftsmanship. Mr..
Cleveland asks, Who is the neigh

tectionist's cry, America for Ameri-
cans Which is the nobler spirit ?

PEOPLES PARTY STATE CONVENTION
Call for the Independent Voters to Meet
in Dallas.

To the Independent voters of Texas and all
others who wish so cast their votes with the
Peoples party in 1892, or at any other time:
Realizing the fact that more effect
i've and efficient work of organization
can be done in one state meeting of
one day than can be done in year
without such meeting, and the ne
cessity for prompt action on the part
of the Poop les party committee o
Texas, hereby call state mass con-
vention of the Peoples party Of the
State Of Texas to convene in the
city of Dallas, Dallas county, Tex
as, on the third Monday, the same
being the 18th day of August, A. d.
1891, at 10 O'Clock a. m, in such hall
as shall be provided and announced
by the local club of the peoples party
of the city of Dallas. 1t is important
that all parts of the state be repre-
sented and that all earnest workers in
reform in Texas attend the meeting.
If you are lover of free institutions,
home and country be present:
If you are opposed to monopoly rule
in this country you should be on hand
to raise your voice for freedom and
equal rights for all.
If you want more money to do bust
ness with it is your duty to work for
it, and there is no better place to
work than in the Peoples party.
Therefore you should attend this meet
ing.
Ifyou love justice before charity,
and do not wish to beg aims for your
family, be there.
If you love home, country, family,
and good government better than you
do the ties that have bound you to
the old parties, and enslaved your
self and dear ones, attend the Peo-
ple's party convention at Dallas,
August II, 1891, and work for a change
of venue from the courts Of monopoly
to that of liberty and equal rights to
all and special privileges to none.
The object of this meeting is to per-
feet permanent organization of the
Peoples party in every county, in Tex
as, and be ready for the great battle
to begin Feb. %, 1892. 1t is now a
known fact that the old parties are
bound soul and body to the money
power of Wall street, New York, and
Hubbard street, London, and will not
help the people.

has been secured for this occasion.

TO RELEASE DICK DUNCAN.
Desperadoes Plan to Slaughter the Sheriff
and Release the Condemned.

Special to The Statesman.
EAGLE PASS, Tex, Aug. 7.-Sheriff
Cooke has received a letter penned in
the most evident good faith. 1t warns
him that an attempt will be made to
rescue the notorious condemned muir
derer, Dick Duncan, and is written by
man who accidently overheard the
plotters. The rendezvous of the gang
is lonely ranch whose name is given.
The plot includes the slaughter of the
sheriff and his deputies. Duncan
formerly cOnsorted with desperadoes
and horse thieves and the proposed
rescuers are his eX-companions.
1t will be impossible to prevent
their assembly and it is probable that
the attempt will be made, especially
as Eagle Pass is contiguous to a
thinly settled portion of Mexico
with whose wilds and fast
nesses the desperadoes are thoroughly
familiar Sheriff Cooke has taken ev
cry precautiOn and if the conspirators
carry out their intentions there will
be large killing in the neighborhood
of the Jail. Duncan is the criminal in
whose behalf an attempt was made
to oyerturn the entire criminal code
of Texas.

MAT THE DAN MEETS AN AWFUL
DEATH.
His Feet, Hips, Shoulders and Head Crushed
TO a Pulp-His Death Purely Acct
dental-No Blame Attached
to Anyone.

\ bout o'clock Thursday afternoon
word was received at THE STATESMAN
office that man had met his death al
the dam. No particulars were learned
so reporter was at once dispatched
TO learn the exact STATUS
of affairs, little dreaming OF
the awful and sickening sight that
was soon to meet his eyes.
On reaching the dam and making
inquiry as to where the man had been
carried he was directed to the frame
building at the end of the immense eX-
cavatlon which is used for storing
away cement. There lying on an old
door was
THE BODY,
surroudded by a crowd Of morbidly
curious laborers listening to the tes-
timony of eye-witnesses which was
being taken down by Judge Stuart,
and which was, in substance, about as
follows:
The dead man, Charles Carr, was
assisting in moving, by means of a
large derrick, one of the immense
granite blocks that have been piled
up by the side of the railroad track
previous to their being laid in the ex-
cavation. One of the big blocks had
just been started on its upward course,
when it swung against another block
and inc whole mass began to roll down
ward. A cry of alarm was given and
the men sprang back, seeking places
Of safety. All were successful with
the exception of the unfortunate Carr,
who was caught and pinned down
by three of the immense rocks
each one weighing anywhere
from three 70 five tons. Steps were
Immediately taken to release him but
long before he was reached his spirit
had tlken its flight into the great I'M
known.
When the body was finally reached
and carried to the shed and Invested
OF It's clothing the following
AWFUL WOUNDS
were noted The right foot had been
mashed off about the instep; the left
leg, h1tween the knee and ankle, was
cut aid hanging by the skin on one
side; hips and stomach were mashed,
the iatestines being exposed; the
head and shoulders were considerably
bruised and mangled.
Charles Carr, the dead man, was a
native of Kansas City and has been at
work ut the dam for about six weeks.
His brother, James Carr, is likewise
employed in a similar capacity, that
Of derrick hand. He was q years of
age, but it could not be learned
whether or not he left family.
The handling ofthe immense blocks
of granite used in the foundation Of
the dam is necessarily fraught with
great danger, but the fact that tn,
tragedy of yesterday was the first O
the kind to happen is evidence of the
fact that Contractor Corrigan exer.

BARRED THE BLACKS.
The Colored Militia snubbed by San Antonio's
City Council

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. The
colored people applied to the city
council for San Pedro park for use as
the site of the state encampment of
colored militia, which runs from the
9th to the 30th of this month. The
council granted the request, barring
the negroes out of the pavilion and
the grounds Immediately around the
pavilion. The negroes refused and
have secured ample grounds in an
other portion of the city. Companies
from Galveston, Austin and other
cities are expected. There seems to
have been no ground for the action
of the council save racial prejudice.

PARISH PRISON OUTD0NE
TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER OF ITALIANS
ON THE WEST sHOKE ROAD.
Another Appalling Wreck-Eleven Dead,
More Dying and Many Injured-Ran
Into Freight Train Wreck-List
of the Killed and Wounded.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 6.-The st.
Louis express on the West Shore,
which leaves here at 1:5S a. M, met
with terrible accident three miles
west of Port Byron this morning near
what is known as Duchess Cut. The
train was running at high rate of
speed, and at that point ran into a
freight train. The wreck was an
awful one, and up to 8 o'clock
the deaths numbered eleven.
Those killed outright and those
who died from the results of their in
juries were all Italians with one ex-
ception, the fireman of the passenger
train. Eleven Italians were badly
hurt and four will probably die.
Twelve cars of the freight train were
wrecked and piled up on the tracks,
completely blocking the tracks. The
Italians were in the smoking car
which was completely wrecked.
Hardly whole piece of timber was
left of the car. The wreck took fire
and the passenger train was burned
with the exception of three sleeping
cars.
The train was made up of two ex-
press cars, baggage car, smoking car,
day car and three sleeping cars. Fol-
lowing is list of the killed and
wounded. Killed: Michael Bergen,
fireman on the passenger train, lived
at Macedon; the body was taken to
the morgue. Alphonse Carilla, Coco
Rocco, Thomas Merlino, John ROsio,
Veanzo Dilauri, Dominica Sautillo,
Antonio Sorzzaffava and John Gram

HISTORY AT FAULT.
Robert Morris Did Not Die in n Dobtore'
Prison.

ASODcxt IuOrriS DiQ NOT Ote IN y O6DSokE'
Prison.
1t Is probable that American history,
SO far us it relates to Robert Morris, a
signcr of tho declaration of indepen-
dence, the companion 6nancier of Ham
ilton and Gallatin, whose management
of the finances of the country made the
success of tho revolution possible and
enabled the young nation to get on its
feet and live, will have to be remodeled.
Every schoolboy knows, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, that the cele-
brated Philadelphia patriot was born in
England, became q wealthy man In
Philadelphia by his business ability,
sacrificed his wealth to his country,
died in debtors prison on account Of
unfortunate land speculations, and was
buried in Christ church-yard. 1t is
known that he furnished tho one mil
lion five hundred thousand dollars
which enabled Washington to carry out
his successful campaign against Corn
wallis Several years ago congress ap-
propriated money to reimburse the
heirs of Mr.. Morris for this one million
five hundred thousand dollars with in
terest, the whole amounting to nearly
eight million dollars
The search for heirs and their ere
dentials has brought to light the i'm
portant fact that Mr.. Morris did not die
In 1900 in Philadelphia's debtors
prison, but lived in 1926 on n farm
near Farmingdale, N. j., where he was
attended by Mary Hurley, his grand
daughter, who is herself alive ut tho
age of ninety-four and lives with her
granddaughter at Toms River, N. J..
Mrs. Hurley, despite her advanced age,
is in full possession of her faculties.
She remembers her grandfather per,
fcctly. lie was blind during the last
part of his life. He often spoke to her
of George Washington, of the great
struggle for liberty, and the part he
(A1orris) took in it. He was, it is
thought, allowed to escape from debt
ors' prison by some sympathetic keeper
who remembered his great service to
his country and took this way of show
Ing his appreciation.
Mrs. Hurley had u Bible which was
printed in Hartford, Conn, in 1910, in
which her grandfather wrote his name.
1t is almost an exact fac smile of that
attached to the declaration of indie
pendence. Experts who have examined
the two signatures say they were I'M
doubleday written by the same person.
He was buried in Leedsville, n. J. Mr..
Morris has many descendants in this
vicinity.

THE TRAFFIC IN TITLES.
Addie-Pntcd Americans Who Apo Englisl

Addle-pntcd Americans Who Ape English
Aristocrats.
Thousands of American young men,
of fair education and excellent posi-
bilities, captivatcd by the pictures of
English ariStocratic life drawn in Eng
hsh novels, are learning to despisc the
simple, rational, useful life of the
worthy American citizen, and to court
consideration and vulgar popularity by
adopting the habits, and leading the
useless lives of English lords. As is
usual in such cases." writes Thomas Da-
wilson, in the Forum, ''thc copy is a car
feature of the original. The untitled
American lord proves usually to be
vulgar creature, having to assert his
self-conferred lordship by nil that is
most unattractive, most inhunanc, and
most un-Amcrican-and it is good
deal-in the English aristocrat In
England nristocracy has no need to
display or to obtrudc itself; in America
it can exist only by display and obtr1-
sion. For this reason tho American
would-be noblcman must necessarily
court attention and try to strike the
vulgar imagination by the mere acct
dcntals of aristocracy, such as any
boorish Dives can commandments,
horses, turnouts, yachts, opera boxes,
md the like. And the vulgar arc i'm.
pressed by such things, bow down in
scrvilc reverence before them, and do
their best to make similar display"

ate American fathers and mothers have
made to buy titled husbands for their

form II revelation SO ignominious that
it would not be believed; and. after
such revelation, patriotic Americans
would hardly dare to look foreigners in
tho face. But oven without such a
revelation the conduct of many OF our
countrywomcn abroad, and especially in
I England. is enough to make every self
