"Snap" Lang of the New Ravens was placed on the reserve list at the end of last season, and now he cannot play ball i because he refuses to go to New Haven for a great deal less than his salary last year. The New Ravens will not accede to his terms, neither will they release him.
 ! Capt Anson has made a bet with Fielder Wilmot that he will make at least one hit in every game he play S. So far Anson has decidedly the worst of it. as he hasn't made so many hits as he expected, and every game that goes by without a hit costs the captain B. This $2 goes into Wilmott's pocket and he is not encouraging his captain ir his use of the willow to any great ex tent. Wilmot is of the opinion that he
 will get the greater part of Anson's salary this season.

 stand Little Condofrs Curves.
 The Waterburys are fairly in it.
 Yesterday they entertained a crowd of nearly 1,200 and gave the Cuban Giants the worst defeat they have re- ceived this year. The trouble began at 4 o'clock and from the first it was easy to pick a winner. Waterbury took kindly to Stovev's curves, Lachance es- pecially distinguishing himself In the sixth inning Frye was given base on balls, and in running to first went six feet out of the line, for some reason best known to himself. He was promptly declared out by Umpire Messer. A general kick followed and the Giants made so much noise that a couple of policemen appeared upon the scene ready to take a hand in the fight if the argument reached that stage. The Chants finally concluded to finish the game under protest, an old trick of theirs. The Waterburys won the game in the fifth inning by hard hitting. Condoff moved down the heavy sluggers of the Giants at will. He is without doubt the best pitcher in the league At second base Lachance played phe- nomenal game, accepting twelve out of thirteen chances. The score follows:

HAMPTON,S SOCIAL SIDE.

A Very Pleasant Occasion Long to be
Remembered One Might Last
Week.
HAMPTON, Oct. 10.-Members of the
Methodist church at Hampton held q
basket sociable at their public hall on
the evening of Tuesday the 9Th, to which
every body was inyiled. The many who
attended. old, middle aged and young, had
q very pleasant and enjoyable evening.
Music, taoleau and converse ion caused
the hours to fly rapidly away. The en-
tertainment added $40 to the church
finances. Henry Wendell acted efficient-
ly as master of ceremonies. The pro-
grsmme of exercises opened with a choir
of voices, most happily rendering. BE.

followed with prayer by Rev Q Adj

Misses Verne and E la Tyler from Com,

characters shown in this piece, the chief
character of the Bride" personated by
Miss Nellie Corrin, was acted in a most
charming and effective manner. Follow

music was on the organ and violin by the
sisters, Misses Eta and Minnie Schafer, of

received and applauded. The playing
ended with q psntomime of Saturday

Weather whistles

The ARGUS has spoken OF the POSSIBLE
ity of the Inauguration of system of
weather whistles. 1t will be a novel sys
tenn to say the least. Already the prin-
cipal railroads of the country have adop,
ted the plan of disseminating predictions
by displaying signal flags on trains, and
the bureau hopes to extend this system
by having locomotives give the signals by
means of their signals. Prof Harring.
ton. the chief Of the weather bureau, has
arranged system of whistle combina.
tons by means of which persons living
at distance from the railroads can re-
ceive the forecasts. By repeating each
combination few times, with an inter-
val of 10 seconds between, possibilities of
error in reading the forecasts will be
avoided, such as may arise from variable
winds or failure to hear the warning.

The Theatre.

Tonight at Hsrper's theatre will be
presented that highly. entertaining and
successful comedy, THE Devils E iitor."
1t is springhtly musical farce, which
serves to introduce the specialties of some
clever people. The pilot" hinges upon
the Irritation of country ediior-the
Office devils" editor. whence the namo-
and a prohibition advocate, with breezy
soubrette and society bud. Around
this qusrtette, reinforced by tie "devil"
and watering place landlord of Mile
sian type moves all the action.
Joseph Flynn and his partner, Frank
B. Sheridan, are the leading comedians,
the former in dual character of police
man and the Irish landlord, and the latter
as the printing Office devil. Alice Harri-
son. as Miss Cushman, the soubrette, is
vivacious and sparkling as ever. Frank
Dosne, as the Devils Editor, displays
abundant energy and voice. with out
horse plays. The piece is replete with
songs, dances and ludicrous situations.
Jsrbesu, famous Jarbeau. is to be seen
at the Burtis at Davenport this evening.
The mere announcement of the appear
ance of this popular queen of comedy
ought to be sufficient to attract q large
audience.
The engagement of the original New
York company in Bronson Towards play
of Shenandoah" will be at the Burtis
next Thursday. II half Of the words of
praise that have been bestowed upon this
piece are true, it is one of the greatest of
modern dramas put upon the stage in
many years. The performances have
created something of sensation in other
cities and the press has teemed with lsud-
atory notices. It is Bronson Towards
best work, it is said, ard that means that
it is sterling production. 'Shensn-
doah" will be given at the Burtis. Daven-
port, with every attention to detail, and
the performances will be just as they
were in New York.
