AND THEY PLAYED BALL
Kelley'S Army Meets the Des Moiues stars

Kelley's Army Meets the Des MOiues Stars
and the General Plays First Base.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, May 2.-Kelley's
Industrial army made no visible pro-
gress toward the National capital to-
day, indulRlng instead in the national
game, Kelley's Industrial nine making
its first appearance on the diamond,
crossing bats with the Des Moines Stars.
Twenty-Five cents admission was
charged, and q good sized crowd attend
ed. Kelley stripped OF his coat and
shoulder straps and played frss
base. The General showed himself q
very fair player and shouted, perspired,
and sprinted with all the energy Of a
professional. The gate receipts were
turned over to the Industrials Kelly
was still indignant to-day over COxey's
clash with the Washington authorities
and placed all the blame with the Com
monwealers. He said Carl Browne was
an ass, declared that Coxey showed no
Generalship p and asserted that the In
dustrial army should have no such
trouble when ii arrives in Washington.
The offer OF the Great Northwestern
railroad TO carry the men TO Van Vert
for So per head was formally withdrawn
to-day, and the action has further in
censed the laboring organizations. They
claim that the refusal is another evil
dence that the railroads have combined
against Kelly and are forcing the minor
lines 10 follow their example.
The outlook for Kelly's army was de-
cidedly unpromising tonight. All hope
OF securing a train was abandoned.
Offers from forty to eighty dollars car
were made TO the various roads and
were firmly refused. The army is
threatened with an empty larder. The
indications are that Kelly will have to
walk out of town Friday or starve
Kelly reasserted that be would never
walk.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-08-08

Not long ago traveller, sauntering
through the demesne of Scottish mag
mite, whereof the old fashioned mansion
has been lately replaced by an cdifice OF
immense size and profuse ornament, came
upon gang of workmen employed by
London contractor in constructing an ar
tificial rockwork and cascade.
Something struck him as comical in the
contrast between the puny operations OF
the landscape gardener and the surround
ing scenery. On one side lay the ocean,
on the other range Of the most fantastic
peaks In tho western isles Of Scotland
climbed the sky. Between them on this
little angle Of tormcntcd soil man was
worrying himself with the problem how,
by dint of leaden piping, cement and
broken stones, he should mimic the end
less profusion of cliff and torrent, whence
what Scotsmen call this policy" OF pri-
vate park, had been redeemed.
The absurdity OF the whole thing was
enhanced by the difficulty of bringing q
water supply to that particular spot. The
fluid which dripped from a thousand cra2s
and thundercd through hundred Inns
within few miles of the scene Of opera
tions was here provokingly deficient, ard
the visitor made somc observation ON this
fact to a dsppcr little clerk of works, who
was superinteding the operation.
"Yes, replied he, tits true we have n
very poor water supply, but you'd be sur
priscd, sir, what wonderful effect our
firm can produce with an inch pipe. -

RIFLES IN PAWNSHOP.
Where Part Of the Equipment Of Co.
e, I'd Regiment, Was Found.

Apropos to the discovery by the inves-
tigating commissioner which inquired
into the condition OF the arms, equip
ments and other State property in
the possession OF Company Il, I'd
Regiment of Infantry, whereby its
disbandment has been recommended by
the military authorities, . discovery was
made recently which has something OF q
unique flavor. Quartermaster-G General
Dennis has transferred the prop
erty from the temporary quarters
in the Aldrich building to tho Howar
block on Westminster street, the damage
to the armory having been repaired. In
making an inventory of the property, two
muskets were missing, one Of which be-
longed to Company r. and the other to
one of the other companies occupying the
armory. An investigation was made
and the weapons were traced to
a pawnshop where they had
been disposed OF presumably by the de-
tenders of the lives and property of the
citizens of the commonwealth. 1t is un-
derstood that the rifles have been
recovered. Had they remained overtime
in "Uncle's" custody he might possibly
announce the possession of q deadly
weapon capable of wicked execution with
three ball projectile.
