Ruled Out Of the Game-Quarles Put
in His Place but the Game was
Already Lost-Savanna2 Got Eight
Hits and New Orleans Twelve.
New Orleans, June 4-The Pelicaus
fell on Jimmy Manning's tribe Of Savan-
nah players and slaughtered them Ono
thousand five hundred people saw Man
ming turn pale under the gills when
Langsford got the ball in the bleachers
for home run and helped three men on
bases to go home. Connaughton had to
quit the game on account of injuring
finger while trying to pull a foul of Roots
bat. Meakim thought that by kicking
his team could make a better showing,
but he kicked too much and was ruled
out of the game. Quarles
took his place and pitched a
splendid game, but the locals were on the
stretch. Luby pitched a fine game and
rather than allow the Savannah boys to
go home with a shut out he let down on
them. Hurley ana Baldwin supported
the pitchers well. In the last inning
Hurley managed to score home run on a
long hit in the bleachers.

was obtained The daring prospectors
took possession Of the mine and worked it
for few weeks, taking out several dol
lars worth of ore with pick and shovel.
The Indians one day made raid on their
camp and killed one OF the brothers and
took the other brother and the father
prisoners The two survivors were re-
leased upon promise to leave the reserva-
tion immediately. The father OF the La
nier boys drew diagram of the location
of the mine, which he kept in his posses
sion until a few weeks ago, when he died.
His son Immediately fitted out an expedi-
tion in Texas TO search for the lost mine

American Convention.

American medical congress will assemble
in this city on Sept next, and continue
in session four days, 1t will probably be
the largest gathering of physicians ever
held in the history of the medical pro-
fession The American Medical Associ-
alton, at its session in this city in June,
1891, passed a resolution extending an in
vitation to the medical profession of the
western hemisphere to assemble in the
United States in an intercOntinental
American medical congress, and it was
arranged to have the government send
out invitations to the sister republics of
the south. The object in calling
in convention representatives of all the
medical societies of the new world was to
bring about more thorough familiarity be-
tween the physicians practicing from
Alaska to Patagonia, to lay the ground
for quarantine restrictions among the
various countries, to demonstrate the
facilities for studying medicine in the
United States and to open fields for work
for American graduates in the south.
Papers will be read on a wide range of
medical topics. 1t is thought that 1000
physicians will be in attendance, of
whom fully one-half will come from
Spanish America.

from business has had the effect of re
reshing him both mentally and physi-
cally. He has had good sport and is much
pleased with his trip.

A POOR DAY AT THE FAIR.

Oppressive Heat and a Big Rain
Storm Kept the Crowds Away.
Chicago, June 4.-There was no great
outpour from the wageworking class or
any other class at the exposition to-day.
The oppressive heat and heavy storm of
lightning, thunder and rain which came
in the afternoon accounts in part for the
decreased attendance, but compared with
the mighty multitude of visitors last Sun
day, to-day can hardly be called success.
The official reports of the department of
admissions showed that IS, 600 tickets had
been sold at 8 o'clock, 5000 being chill
drens at half price. After that hour the
gate keepers and ticket sellers had an easy
time, as not more than $4,000 had passed
the turnstiles to see the electric illumina
tionS in the evening.
