The game Of ball between the Lake

with how much truth we do not know,
but the story is at least plausible and on
a par with similar practices with which
We are all familiar--that the Abbeyille
club expected to employ battery from
New Orleans to come over and take the
starch out Of the Lake City boys, but
when they counted their "mun" they
lacked several dollars Of having the nee

they failed to put in an appearance. we

We would suggest to 2ur school board
that in view of lack of funds that will
allow only FIVE months school this
year, that they employ less expensive
teachers. We know whereof we speak
when we say that good aud competent
teachers can be employed for a far less
sum than now paid, OF aboutsO be paid
to the teachers of the Lake Charles
school. In view of the fact that the
funds are SO limited it is an opinion that
prevails to a large extent that less ex-
pensive teachers be employed. The 500
teacher per month is too expensive lux
ury at the present time. Four-ffths Of all
the scholars will be taught by teachers
who receive less than One-half that sum-

THE PREACHER INDICATED
Trial of the Rev. Mr.. Hirst
Results in Acquittal.
PROF. ROGERS CHARGES FALSE
Their Origin Said to Be Due
to a Conspiracy.


SAN Francisco, CAL, Aug. 23.-The
Rev. A. @. Hirst, president Of the Uni
versity Of the Pacific and pastor Of the
Simpson Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church in this city, has been cleared by
the ecclesiastical court Of the charges OF
gross immortality preferred against him
by Professor Rogers. The verdict says
1--WE find the charges malciously and
absolutely false. After most careful
examination of the testimony, it is our
Judgment that the charges have their
origin in wicked conspiracy to defame
the character Of the accused, and there
is no evidence in the cast that even re-
motely compromises or reflects on DIR.
Hirst as Christian gentleman or min.
lister of the gospel"
The charges against DR.. Hirst, who is
one of the leading ministers of the Pa
citic coast, were of most scandalous
character and created great sensation.
Rogers, who claims to be minister, insS
duced several boys to make the charges.
One of them, a boy named Bidwell, is
said to have been implicated in the
Cleveland street scandal in London a
few years ago.
Yesterday Rogers was denounced be.
fore the committee by his counsel, who
gave up his case.

MILLER KILLED HIMSELF
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the Case
of Bank Examiner Miller.

ALTOONA, Pa, Aug 23.-To-day the
coroner's jury completed its inquest
into the death of Bank Examiner Miller.
Assistant Attorney General James A.
Stranahan, representing the family and
friends of the deceased, was present and
said he had no further information to
offer. He came from the friends of the
deceased to say to Mr.. Levan, the
president of the Second National Bank,
that they appreciated his delicate posi-
ton in having been the only person in
the bank when the unfortunate occur.
renee took place, and to assure him that
they believed in his high personal
character and integrity and entertained
no suspicion connecting him with Mr..
Miller's death.
They and Mr.. Stranahan were still
10th to believe that Mr.. Miller committed
suicide and hoped that the jury would
find that the evidence did not sustain
that theory, but that his death resulted
from an accident or from cause un-
known.
Mr.. Stranahan spoke feelingly of his
dead friend.
The verdict rendered was that the
death of Examiner Miller "resulted
from pistol shot fired by the deceased,
but whether accidentally done or other
wise, is to the jury unknown"

FIGHTING BREcKINRIDGE.


Twenty Thousand People Attend n
Barbecue in Honor of His Opponent,
w. q. Owens.
LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 22.-Twenty
thousand people, the flower of Ashland
Congressional district, attended the
Owens barbecue here to-day. Prepara-
tions had been made to entertain
$4,000 and the provisions fell far short
of supplying all.
The speakers were Hon. w. G..
Owens, Hon. G. c. Lockhart of Bourbon
county, Judge George B. Kinkead,
Judge Jere X. Morton, and Prof. 9. NJ.
Albert of Lexington. There were 5000
ladies present and the affair was mag
nitlcent upheaval OF the time-honored
Ashland district against being longer
represented in Congress by ". g. p.
Breckenridge. The speeches all teemed
with the most scathing denunciations of
Breckenridge, and were the most sensa
tlonai yet spoken against him.
Judge kinkead, for years Il neighbor
OF breckenridge, was exceptionally
severe in appealing for Mrs. Blackburn's
defence and Breckinridge's retirement.
He said; "Breckiuridge declares his
opponents are throwing stones at him
made of lies, yet he does not tell what
lies are being told. He has been charged
with the most hideous offences in public
but he has not denied them. How alb
surd for Colonel Breckenridge to charge
that his opponents are living about him.
Review the long list of crimes, admitted
and proved, which during his life made
up his character. Think for moment
of Colonel Breckenridge inflamed with
yirtuous indignation at the utterance Of
o lie.

FALL RIVER MILLS To CLOSE
Twenty-Five Thousand Hands
viii be Idle.
THE EMPLOYEES ARE SATISFIED
They Think it Will Prevent
Reduction of Wages.
Length of the Shutdown Dependent
Upon the Conditions of tho Market and
the Attitude of the Employees business
Men Look Upon the Situation with
Regret.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 23.-The
publication Of the agreement to shut
down the mills was surprise to many
manufacturers when they picked up
theirpapers this morning Notices Of the
shut down were mailed last night, but
it was the Intention to keep the whole
thing secret to-day.
The executive committee is unwilling
to give out the text of the notices sent,
but they say that it was agreed that
when three.fourths of the spinners rep
resented by the signers to the agree
ment should conclude to order the pur.
suit of certain course the others would
stand by the order that was issued.
Tonight, therefore, it is confidently ex-
pected that every mill in town will
close, except the Conanticut, the Bar
naby bingham, which has been shut
down, and the Fall River iron works
mills and the Seaconnet, which are not
in the Manufacturers Association.
The Seaconnet mill is running on the
reduced schedule and may be compelled
to shut down by the help who may stay
out.
The King Philip, American Linen,
Matacomet, Pocasset and other mills
that are wholly or partially idle are
expected to close with the rest. There
will be %, 600 operatives out of work,
exclusive of $500 who are known as
sick help.
Secretary O'Donnell of the Spinners'
Union, is well pleased at the decision
arrived at by the manufacturers. 1t
relieves him and the Union from very
trying position, in which the funds were
seriously threatened.
The weavers, of course, are in high
glee, as they have obtained the curtail-
ment for which they were seeking. The
length of the shut down has not been
agreed upon, but it will depend ON the
attitude of the operatives and the coDdi-
tions of the market. Four weeks is the
longest time mentioned, but there is no
guarantee that it will not last longer
period.
The committee of the Manufacturers
Association has demonstrated that there
is a greater unanimity of feeling than
the members supposed existed, for at
noon to-day it was confidently believed
that every slgner would stick to the last.
Even Agent Sanford, of whom the
manufacturers are talking very harshly,
has concluded to close the Globe yarn
mills, and the Sanford Spinning Co.
will also remain closed.
Among the business men and others,
the big lockout is regarded with much
regret. Nearly $150,000 weekly will be
taken out of circulation and there is al
ways great risk in trading among
operatives when shutdown takes
place. Some will pay their old bills,
but others will not if they can avert it
by removing to other places.

gardens,
Which no man planted, and no man

Their strong seeds drifted, their brave
bloom lifted,
Near and far DER the wales and hills;
Sip the bees from their cups of sweetness,
Posies above them the wild free wing,
And night and morn from their doors arc
borne
The dreams of the tunes that blithe
hearts sing.
The waving gardens, the fragrant gardens
That toss III the sun BY the broad high
way,
Growing together, gorsc and heather,
Aster and golden-rod all the day.
Poppies dark with the wine Of slumber,
Daisies bright with the look OF dawn,
The gentian blue, and the long year
through
The flowers that carry the seasons on.
And the dear old gardens, the pleasant
gardens
Where mother used to potter about,
Tying and pulling and sparingly culing,
And Watching each bud us its flower

Sweet were the dear old-fashioncd gardens
Where we kissed the mother, ana said,

ARBITRATION.

The question of compulsory arbitra.
ton was very fully considered, the
Judge holding that, while it was not
would prove remedy in every case,
the very study and agitation of the sub
1ect will be of benefit in impressing
upon NIL classes the thought that if dis
agreements arise peaceable measures,
founded on u review Of all the facts, are
to settle them. He said in conclusion !:
TX tho lawyer cannot be of service
here | shall venture to ask whether his
Importance as paciticator in society
through the aid he gives in the appli-
cation Of principles OF law and equity
to troublesome controversies is not
somewhat operrated. Perhaps some
attention may be given to the question
whether the administration of discre-
tlonary pGnishments to strikers, as for
contempt of court, when the acts
punished We're but trespasses upon the
possession Of receiver, is not being
pushed to an extreme that is a little
startling. And, on the other hand,
may put TO those who believe In com.
pusory arbitration the question, when
that is secured to what relation shall
the principle be applied next? And
then to what next?
The reading of Judge Cooley's I'D
dress consumed over two hours. 1t was
listened to very closely by the members
of the association. The election Of new
members, the election Of the general
council and reports of the secretary and
treasurer occupied the remainder of the

accident occurred at Kansas and Texas
mine, southwest of here, yesterday.
Hall Mccarthy, miner, was instantly
killed and three others so badly injured
that their recovery is very doubtful.
The accident was caused by the fall of

that the insecure condition of rock had
been noticed several days ago, aud the

MALABoCH VAS SMOKED OUT
Fire Used to subdue the RebelIious Chief
in South Africa,


CAPETowN, SOUTH AFRICA, Aug. "a.
-Aduces received here from Pretoria,
dated August 9TH, say that the un-
expected submission of Chief Malaboch
has been joyfully received throughout
the Transvaal.
The details of the chiefs surrender
show that Malaboch, under cover of a
white flag, accompanied by his brother,
his two young sons, and four Indunas,
emerged from the caves in which they
had sought refuge and surrendered to
the Beers. But the chief did not sur.
render until his enemies had employed
every means, including the smoke of
large fires, to drive him from his place
of refuge.
The chief was very downcast after
his surrender and twice attempted to
commit suicide by plunging into the
campfire. Upon both occasions he was
rescued with difficulty. He was badly
burned.
AS Chief Malaboch and his party
were being escorted to the Lager of the
Beers, one of the Indunas was shot for
attempting to escape.

The nomination of Beekman settles
quite spirited contest for that position,
in which Senator Mcpherson appears to
have been successful. While he was
absent, the President sent in the name of
Charles Parker, based upon letter
from Senator Mcpherson which spoke
very highly of Parker but did not
specify any particular office to which
the New Jersey Senator desired that he
be appointed.
Upon his return Senator Mcpherson
asked that Parker's nomination be with
drawn, as he had intended to recon-
mend another man The President COM
piled and Mr.. Mcpherson recommended
Mr.. Beekman, who has now been APP
pointed.
