The Press Club Loses Two Games to the
Leaders

There was an awful slaughter at
Fette's Harvest Home last night, and
the Press Club was the slaughtered.
The tail-enders distinguished them
selves by putting up the two poorest
games of the season. The leaders had
the advantage Of considerable practice
on the alleys, which were 70 all intents
and purposes entirely new. The pencil
pushers looked 10 vain for the grooves
which led 10 the king pin. They bad
been removed BY the carpenters.
The work OF the Press Club
team was indeed humillatiDg, and
caused tears Of sympathy 70 well up to
the eyes Of the spectators. The news
paper men started with visions of
''1496" tefore their eyes, while their
pponents, with good reason, concealed
large-sized grins up their sleeves The
new alleys are exceedingly difficult, as
will be seen by the South Side score,
Notwithstanding the familiarity OF that
team with the alleys.
Following we're the scores in the two
games:

Fell Inrn the Run.

Saturday night, about - o'clock, Acy
Pretyman, of South Mccullough street,
suffered a painful accident. The man
was nearly scared to death besides, and
the way he yelled will be long remem-
bered by many people Of that locality.
About that time a man named William
Dudley was going home, and he heard
some one in Caldwell's Run, at Twenty
eighth street, give a yell which sounded
something like Comanche Indian. Mr..
Dudley went over the stone embank-
ment a distance of ten feet and there
found Mr.. Pretyman in the water. II
was afterwards learned that Mr.. Pretty
man. while coming down Twenty-ninth
street, had fallen over the embankment
into the water, where Mr.. Dudley found
him. 1t was a lucky thing the water
was not at high stage, or the man
would have been drowned. Mr.. Dudley
went for Officer Fitzgerald, aud the two
got Mr.. Pretyman from the run and
carried him home on plank. AT very
short intervals the man on the plank
would let out the most dismal yells, and
by the time they reached his home, a
distance of four squares from where
the accident occurred, they thought
they ought 10 have dOctar quick. DR..
j. r. Manley was there in very short
time, and found the man only slightly
bruised. Mr. Pretyman was much i'm
proved yesterday.

COLORED WOMENS LEGION.
Decides to Come Ont Vigorously for the
Rights of the Race.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The Woman's
Loyal Legion, an Afro-American associa-
ton league, which has as its aim the edu-
cation and general betterment of the wom-
en- of color, held its first meeting tonight
in the A. Nj. f. Church on Sullivan street
Speakers outlined the educational cam
paign. which will at once be started by
tie formation in every Afro-American COM
munity in the East of chapters of the le-
gion; Mrs. Victoria Matthews, president
OF the legion. said that while ii had been
organized for three years, ii had been
working quietly until now, when the time
had arrived to come to the front.
She said The most horrible indgnities
were heaped on the negro, and he had
himself TO blame for 1t, as he was too
tame. He needed TO be stirred up, and.
when he awakened to the false position the
white race had placed him in, he would rise
in his might and quickly bring his white
brethren to their senses. The rights as an
American citizen were too sacred to be
violated without protest. Mrs. Josephine
s. Ruffin, editress of the woman's Era,
published in Boston, followed Mrs. Mat
thews. She refuted the idea that loose
morality has prevailed among cOlored

DEED OF BENTON HARBOR ELECTRIC
STREET-RAILWAY MAGNATE.
City Marshal with a Number of Men
Had Started in to Tear Up the Tracks
When They Were Fired On.

BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Aug 12-Al-
derman Charles Shrver was shot in the leg
by w. W. Bean, owner of the ST. Joseph &
Benton Harbor electric street railway, early
this morning. Several months ago Beams
franchise expired and two weeks ago he
was notified to remove a certain part Of the
track TO permit street paving Last night
the paving work was stopped on account of
the tracks not having been moved. The
city marshal. with some aldermen and forty
laborers, went to the scene at 430 o'clock
this morning To remove the tracks. Bean was
there with several employees and a deputy
sheriff. When the marshals men began to
move the tracks Bean fired a gun at
Shriver, wounding him badly in the leg and
hand. Others of the marshars party were
covered by the guns of some of the ST Joseph
men. Deputy sheriffs from Benton Harbor
arrested Bean. AT IL o'clock work was re-
sumed by the marshals party under guard
of fourteen officers, and this afternoon the
track was piled up on the side OF the street
While there is considerable feeling against
Bean, some believe the shooting was acci-
dental.

WELL DEFINED HOPE.
On That Senator'S PrOphesy that This
Is the Last Week of Congress-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The hope is
general about the Senate that the present
will be the last week of the session. This
is based on the belief that the tariff bill will
be disposed of in some way early in the
week and with the tariff out of the way
final adjournment can be brought about at
almost any time. None of the appropriation
bills, with the exception of the sundry civil
and the general deficiency, are yet 10 be
acted on to any extent by either house, and
these two are in such an advanced stage
in conference that a day of jealous work
would probably suffice 10 put them both in
shape to be sent TO the President. The Chi
nese treaty is the only other business that
would hold Congress for a day. and this
is also in condition TO be taken up and voted
on at to-morrow's session. When the Sem
ate adjourned on Friday. after giving the
greater part of the day TO the treaty there
was an understanding that the Senate
should go into executive session on Monday
Immediately after the reading OF the journal
for the purpose OF taking the vote on the
treaty. 1t was also agreed that this should
be done without further debate. The order
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1894-08-13

of business for tomorrow, presuma-
bly,, after the treaty shall have been passed
on will be Senator Chambers resolution for
the investigation of the Alabama elections.
After that all is uncertain and there IS no
prearranged programme for the entire week
Almost everything will depend on the ac-
ton of the House on the tariff bill, but
whatever that action may be, il can be
counted on as quite certain that the Two
remaining appropriation bills will receive
final attention some time during the week;
The conference report on the sundry civil
bill has already been largely disposed OF,
and ii is not probable that much more time
will be spent on ii. The conference COM
mittee on the general deficiency bill has
been in session all day, notwithstanding IL is
Sunday, and it will be in shape for early
presentation TO both houses. If, therefore,
the House should decide 10 accept the SEN
ate amendments the Senate could be pre-
pared to suspend proceedings on almost any
day after Tuesday If the House should de-
eide on the opposite course there is no say
ing what might happen in the Senate Ihe
tariff is engrossing the attention or the
House, and il has so far no programme
whatever for the week.

''Second-That in the name of the DEM

of our Senators from Maryland in Con-

stituency at the behest of the Sugar Trust
and other combines.
'Third-That Senator Germans aspersion
of President Cleveland and his patriotic
course merits and receives our unqualified
condemnation.
''Fourth-That it is only consistent with
the action of a Senator who has published
TO the world his peregrinations though
the filth and mre of politics that he should
longer consent to occupy the position
he has sought to prostitute by his renegade
course, conscious he may be that he
has betrayed the party which elevated
