BASE BALL ITEM.

The following bombastic epistle
from the captain of the Albuquerque
Stars speaks for itself:
TO the Captain of the Las Vegas
Kids.
DEAR SIR would like to ask you
if you would come down and play
with us for S25 Oh the last day of
the fair, and that will be on the 9th
of September, 1892. If you do,
please let us know as soon as you
can, because we can "git" game
with the Gallups. We beat the San
ia Fes so bad that they didn't know
how to get home, so please let us
know as soon as possible.
Very Respectfully, (?)
BEN Z. HELwEG,
Captain Albuquerque Stars.
If the captain of the Stars knew
as much about grammar as he pre-
tends to know about base ball, the
above epistle would never have been
written by him. The boys have not
forgotten the umpire that was APP.
pointed to decide the game at the
last match they played with you, and
the above caps the climax.

Pawtucket's Plan of Dlsposlng OF
Sewerage.
IF NOT EVAPORATION, WHAT 2
n the sewage should He Turned Into
the seskonk We would Be Likely to
Hear some Tall Talking From People
Over That Way.

Where is the sewer which the city OF
Pawtucket Is now building going to lind
an outlet Will it flow into the Seekonk
and afterwards into our own river? These
are two questions which naturally arise
when one thinks OF the project. That
PROVIDENCE does not want the sewage OF
Pawtucket passing into our river is GER
tainty and that Pawtucket has made no
such arrangement with this city is an-
other certain fact. Where then will 1t
IA 60 this question Commissioner OF
Public Works X. +. Smith says he does
not know but that it will not pass into
our river il the city can prevent it. FOR
Pawtucket IL would be grand thing 10
cit rid of its sewerage in such manner
ss it would greatly help the health OF the
city but it would be done at the expense
of the health of our own citizens ana u
can be expected that If any such project Is
ON foot the PROVIDENCE authorities ana
people will oppose with all their strength.
IL Is reported from Pawtucket that the
plan is to acquire 200 acres OF land on the
Seekonk fats and get rid OF the sewerage
by evaporation or some such way.
Such plan would probably solve the
question provided it worked, but the
building of a sewer from Pawtucket to
the river isn't absolutely essential to an
EVAPORATION scheme.

How TO Hold q Pen.

The cramping Of the hand from con-

men prefer TO wrap string around the

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
An Ex-Mayor Says Republicans
Should Name a Young Man.
He SHOULD Be REELECTED.
The City Is Likely TO Have Period OF
Prosperity and Growth and Needs an
Experienced Head-Mayor Potter Is
Said to be Satisfied.

A prominent PROVIDENCE gentleman
who has filled the Office of mayor in
very acceptable manner, and who still
takes lively interest in city affairs, said
yesterday that the Republicans OF the
city would do well to select some one OF
the able young men OF the party, and
nominate him for mayor this fall. There
is, he said, scarcely a doubt of his elec-
tion, and he should be reelected for sew
eral years in succession. The city Is In a
fair way to start on apermanent period Oh
growth and activity. Everyone remem-
Mayor Doyle, which would not now be
famous II he had been put aside after one
term. The gentleman said that among
the men he had heard mentioned were
Gen. Ames and John f. kendrick, A.
though the latter would perhaps not be
willing to give up the U: >. marshalship.
1t is understood that Mayor Potter has
no desire to try for another term, but that
an attempt will be made by at least some
of the Democrats to induce him to do So
The Mayor has had a rather hard row TO
hoe" between trying to satisfy the SUB
stantial citizens and placate the element
TO which he feels he owes great deal ior
his election.
1t is asserted that ex-Mayor Smith Is
very much pleased with the ultimate re-
suit of the city legislation OF the present
year, because he believes that practically
all that he favored in his administration
has been adopted and approved.
There is some talk of Democrats trying
to induce Alderman Ii. Is. Winship to run
for mayor on their ticket Although he
is Republican he has always had good
deal of Democratic support, but Is hardly
likely to agree to such an arrangement.
The Democrats will no doubt try hard to
keep down the factional fight OF the Nc
Nally and anti Mentally elements this
year, but that is problem which they
never know how to anticipate. There Is
still very strong element which insists
that McNally ought to be nominated for
mayor, but what that element will do
this year Is not yet to be surmised.

A Trial but no Conviction.

The grand jury at this term of court
found a true bill against John w.
Pierce, James 2. Pierce, John Pierce.
Jr., and William Fuller, of Franklin
county, charged with the murder of
Rufus z. Reavis. in Henderson. on
the night of the Oath of February last.
The defendants were arrested and
brought here for trial. They were
arraigned upon the charge OF murder
and the trial was proceeded with. II
the absence Of Solicitor Woodland. who
had gone Off on important business.
by request of Judge Brown Mr.. 7. 7.
Hicks represented the State. The
Solicitor was notified and returned,
however, and was here to discharge
his duty Tuesday.
All the witnesses for the State were
examined and after short consultation
with the Judge it was decided that the
State had failed to sustain itself and
the case was dropped. The Judge said
he would instruct the jury to enter
verdict Of not guilty and the prisoners
were discharged. While there were
some suspicious circumstances con-
Meeting these persons with the death
of the deceased, Judge Brown said the
State Of North Carolina would not be
justified in taking their lives upon the
evidence submitted and this opinion
was concurred in by the Solicitor and
A. G. Zolicoffer, Esq, who was aiding
in the prosecution st the instance Of
D. II. Reavis a brother of the deceased.
The Solicitor explained that while
there was no new evidence and he
was not fully satisfied that the State
could make out its case, the grand jury
had thought there was "probable
cause" Of the guilt Of these men and
that the matter required the fullest in
vestigation. After the finding of the
grand jury the case Of course could not
be ignored and the course pursued
was the only right and proper one.
The defendants were represented by
G. NJ. Cooke and F. S. Spruill, ofLouis-
burg and, Pittman & Shaw.
