The good effect of Mayor McDonough's
stringent enforcement Of the Sunday law

yesterday, Not a single arrest was made
by the police during the day. This record

day OF comparative rest.

THE BASE BALL SaASON.

1t viii Open In Savannah on Memorial
Day.
The base ball season will be formally
opened in Savannah Memorial Day, in a
game between the Warrens of Savannah
and the Macons Of Macon. The Warrens
are composed of some of the best local
talent. The Macons are strong club and
are in good practice, and aim to give the
Warrens a good game. The Macon club
has joined the state league and expects to
bring the same team here that will represent
them in the league
There is considerable talk about revival
of the old southern league circuit, but SO far
there has been little accomplished. The
places recommended for the league wore:
Atlanta, Chattanooga, Macon, Columbus,
Augusta, Savannah and Charleston. 1t is
doubtful if Savannah will undertake to put
team in big league again.

Neither the pig nor the man apparently

some of them.

KNOCKED OUT WITH a BOARD.
The Result of Sunday Fight Between
Boys.

Boys.
A disturbance occurred yesterday after
noon at the Pompeiian park between two
small boys. one of whom was a lad named
Nilkie Brown, who undertook to thrash a
boy about his own age. The Brown boy
was getting the best of the fight when an
other boy named John Brittle, much larger
and apparently about II years of age, took
a hand in the fray and administered TO
Nilkie Brown a severe pounding. Brittle's
aunt next appeared on the scene and was
apparently unsatified with the termination
Of the affair. Brown was too small TO fight
Brittle, and having had, as he thought,
enough, drew his knife to protect himself,
but did not use it. Brittle's aunt and Brown
engaged in a dialogue, and encouraged by
the aunt and the abuse she heaped on Brown
Brittle stole to his side and struck him a
cowardly blow over the head with piece of
board, knocking him insensible, after which
he Immediately ran to his home.
Brittle's aunt remarked after the occur
renee that Brown should have had more
than was given him, and walked away
without even the slightest pretense of ascer-
tanning whether or not the boy had been
killed.
The wound on Browns head is about two
or two and a half inches long, and while ap-
parently not dangerous is very painful.
He was taken to DR.. Sheftall's office for
treatment.
Browns people will swear out warrant
this morning for Brittle's arrest

PICKED UP NEAR DoBoY.

The Corpses of Three Men Drowned
From the Steamer Farmer
The bodies of three of the colored men
who jumped overheard from the steamer
Farmer and were drowned on the night of
March %, were picked up last week near
Doboy. The coroner Of Mcintosh county
went down to hold an inquest, but it was
found unnecessary. The bodies of the coll
pred men. the Darien Gazette says, were
found to be pretty badly scalded. They
had been in the water SO long that it was
impossible to tell one from another. The
fourth man, or it was thought it was his
body, was last seen near Sapelo beach.

a nuralo E.press Fish YARN.

There is an in intelligent fiah inhabit-
ing the waters of Lake Erie in the vi
cinity of Buffalo. A couple of men who
were out in a tug the other day had an
experience with him. There was rope
several feet long dragging through the
water from the stern of the tug. While
the vessel was going ahead at a good
rate of speed, the engineer saw large
fish grab the end of this rope in his
mouth and allow it to tow. him along.
. Thinking the fish had been caught bv
the rope, the engineer attempted to pull
it aboard. But as soon as the rope. was
pulled out of the water the fish let 90.
The rope was dropped again and again
the fish caught hold. There was no mis-
taking his purpose. Hewas clearly try
ing to steal ride. And he was success
full. After being towed for a couple of
miles, the fish let go and disappeared.
When the tug was returning by the
same route the finned tramp caught on
again and allowed himself to be towed
back to near the place where he was first
observed.
Who will now say that catfish have
not brains, when they show such readi-
ness to take advantage of mechanical
improvements in navigation?

EDITOR CHRONICLE: AS a citizen of
The Dalles and one who is interested in
the protection of the city from destruction
by fire, l think it proper to call the
attention of the public to the
negligence of the man in charge
of the fire bell who fails to ring it
when repeatedly warned by the contin-
uous whistling of the company's engine
that a fire was devastating the city.
Such was the case when the planning mill
burned, the whistle blew very long
time before the alarm was sounded by
the ringing of the bell. 1t was the same
way this morning when Mr. Marden's
barn was burned together with a large
number of carriages. Is it not impera-
lively necessary to remove the present
engineer and place competent man in
charge there who will attend to his
duties? This is something that every
citizen is interested in and ought to be
attended to at once
