Notes.

Inc Twin-City team dropped another
game to Terre Haute yesterday which
closed the series there, and our boys will
meet Evansville for the first time tomor-
row on the latter's grounds. The feature
OF yesterdays game was errorless playing
and is said to have been one of the pref
TEST games ever witnessed in Terre
Haute. A large crowd was present and
the work of both pitchers was of the best.
Only one error was made in the game,
the Twin-CitYs being credited with it.
Bartson and Sage constituted the battery
for Rock Island Moline and Mars and
Terrien for Terre Haute. The fielding
of both clubs was exceptionally fine, OF
withstanding that many chances were &C
cepted.
Rock Island has just cause to feel proud
OF the record made by the boys in the two
last games and good reason to believe
that they will gradually push their way
to place an ong the leaders. The fol-
Lowing is the summary of yesterdays
game:

stitution, proposed at previous meeting,

report, which brought the old topic which
for many years has formed the principal
theme for discussion in all the institute s
meetings, iagain up for debate.
The committee sent in June circular
letter to all the members of the association,
asking their opinion in writing as TO which
OF three proposed building plans they in
diyidually favored.
According to last nights report 1889 re-
plies have been received, out of which 761
express a preference for plan i, which
advises the remodsling of the present Post
street building, by adding another story
and by putting in an elevator and other
modern Improvements.

recommended the adoption of plan 2, which
proposes to erect a building on the portion
of the present Pavilion lot bounded by
Larkin, Polk, Hayes and Grove streets.
Plan was the choice Of 301 letter. writer's,
who were in favor of purchasing a lot on
Powell. Post and Market streets for build
ing purposes.

tioh was referred back to the board OF
trustees with instructions that they call a
special meeting OF the Institute in the near
future for the purpose of further discus
sion of this important subject.
After confirming the recently made ap-
pointment of Henry 7. Bush to fill va
cancy on the board of trustees the meeting
adjourned.

A CLOSE CALL.
Murderer Patti Arouses the Indignation Of
DANGEROUS Men

Murderer Patti Arouses the Indignation Of
Dangerous Men,
STOCKTON, Sept. TO- Constable Master
son Of San Andreas arrived here shortly
before 3 o'clock this morning with the
Italian assassin. Anton Patti, who shot
Miss Mabel Wheeler at Copper0polis on
Wednesday night. Patti was locked in the
court Jail here. When arrested there
were fears that mob would take him from
Jail at San Andreas and hang him, and when
the critical condition of the girl was learned
the officers thought il necessary 10 remove
Patti to place of safety. Last night Con-
stable Masterson learned than an attempt
would probably be made to hang the Italian,
and as Sheriff Thorn was away be was adj
yIsed to take the prisoner TO Stockton. The
officer left San Andreas in the evening and
drove to this city. Patti was glad to get
away, for the ruffian feared he would be
killed.
At last accounts Miss Wheeler was alive,
but her condition was said to be very criti-
cal. 1t was believed that il the young lady
dies the enraged people of Copperopolis
would go TO the county seat and make short
work of the murderer. The fear Of an at
tack from the miners at Copperopolis led
the officers TO hurry the prisoner to this
city.
Constable Masterson says crowds of men
came into San Andreas at about o'clock
last evening TO hang the prisoner. Patti
was hurried out of Jail without hat, coat r
shoes, and Constable Halves hid him down
the creek while Masterson got his team for
the drive to Stockton

Good Words.
We have read how the coffin of Mohammed
was poised without support in the mosque
Of the faithful. from which all unbelievers
were so rigidly excluded; no material sup
port was necessary to sustain the remains
OF the prophet; the body itself seemed ever
on the point of following the departed spirit
to the realms Of bliss. A perennial miracle
indeed was necessary TO sustain the reyered
saTcophagus In space.
Tbenfdelno doubt is somewhat skeptical
about this marvellous phenomenon, and now,
as ever, the truth Is stranger than fiction.
Far over our heads there IS a vast globe,
larger and heavier than millions OF sarc0-
phagi: no material support Is rendered to
that globe, yet there 1t is sustained from day
to day, from year to year, from century to
century.
What is 1t that prevents the moon fall
ing? That 10 the question which now lies
before us. 1t Is assuredly the case that the
earth continually attracts the moon. The
effect of the attraction Is not, however,
shown in actually drawing the moon closer
to the earth, for this, as we have seen. does
not happen. but the attraction Of the earth
keeps the moon from going further away
from the earth than 1t would otherwise do
Suppose. for instance, that the attraction of
the earth were suspended, the moon would
no longer follow its orbit, but would start
of In straight line in continuation OF the
direction in which 1t was moving at the mo-
ment when the earth's action was inter.
cepted.
WHAT Newton did was to show, from the
circumstances Of the moons distance and
movement, that 1t was attracted by the
earth with force Of the same description as
that by which the same globe attracted the
apple, the difference being that the inten-
sity of the force becomes weaker the greater
the distance Of the attracted body to the
earth. In fact, the attraction OF the earth
on ton of matter at the distance of the
moon would be withstood by an exertion
not greater than that which would suffice to
sustain about three-Quarters OF pound TO
the surface Of the earth.

| From time to time we have given the In
defatigable street musician credit for his
! efforts in these pages, but our worthy
| friends are by no means behind the times
| in keeping up to date with novelties"
The latest of these appears to be a gentle
| man who frequents the neighborhood Of
| Fuiham and Chelsea. and makes a good
| thing out of it on Saturday nights. He
| plays a one-stringed fiddle of distinctly
| original make and design. 1t is simply an
| empty tin, which once contained a certain
| deicacy known as corned beef. Through
| this he has run a stick and stretched over it
a string. out Of which he got some really
| capital tunes. A near musical brother Of
| his is o worthy who has constructed a
| gigantic and somewhat bulky tin-whistle
| out of eoffee-pot- He has made holes down
| the body of the pot. and uses the spout as a
| mouthpiece. We hasten to credit another
gentleman with makinga similar instrument
out of an ordinary teakettie.
A party of the burntcOrk persuasion
must not be forgotten. He plays on a
couple of tin whistles at the same time.
| with very harmonious effect.
Children seem just now to be much in
| demand. There is an admirable little quar-
tet party going round. composed of girls
Two of them play violas, while the second
| pair finger violins. Lads, too, are at the
present moment making living as street
| choristers.
They are engaged by piano-organ grind
| ers. A selection Of the very latest popular
tunes OF the day are put into the organ
and the lads sing these. Some Of the BOYS
| have very good voices. and it seems pity
that they should thus early ruin their vocal
| powers by constant use in the open air.
1t was the opinion Of one of these youths
| that pathetic ballads suited the public and
touched their pockets best.
Perhaps the last of all additions to the
piano-organ business Is the employment of
| little girls of ii, II or IS years OF age, who,
on the pavement, OF in the middle OF the
| road, dance to the tunes played. They APP
pear just as in school, with their aprons on,
and usually 60 in fours. They trip capitally
| together, and we have seen them step the
famous ''pas-de-quatre," introduced into
one of the burlesques at the Gaiety Theater
| some time ago, in a manner to compare
favorably with many dancers supposed TO
| noSSaSs a training.
