WINNIE vs. FORREST CirY.
A Most Exciting Game of Baseball Be- tween she Respective Teams--Wynne
 Not In It.

The south-bound I. M., passenger train yesterday morning was loaded to the guards with the populace of Nynne, who had came hither to witness a match game of ball between the club of that city, and the Forrest City boys. Long before the hour everybody was astir, making preparations to attend what proved to be one of most exciting games of ball that has taken place Ill this city for years.
 At l 80 o'clock people began to gather in the vicinity of the grounds. and by the time the game was called, at least 300 persons were assembled. The youth and beauty of Wynne and Forrest City mingled together. and everyone seemed prepared to enjoy the game to it's full lest extent.
 Promptly at 2 o'clock the stentorious voice of our popular Umpire, Chas. Lewis, rang out clear and musical, "Play Ball,n and the game began, with the visiting team in the field. The first three innings it appeared to be regular "cake walk" for Forrest City, in which they scored eight runs, Wynne not making tally. the home battery being inyincible. In the fourth inning there was slight change in favor or Wynne. and for next three innings the contestants played ball about alike, each side scoring eight runs, winch made the board indicate at the end of the sixth inning a score of l6 to 5, III favor of Forrest City. The next and last three innings of the game our boys proved to tough for the visitors, making nine runs JO their five. which when added up. made d total score of 9 to l3. in favor of the home team.
 The evening passed quietly. nothing occurring in anyway to interfere with the progress of the game. We don't remember of there ever having been a visiting club with US composed of more perfect gentlemen than that of Wynne. They were perfectly reconciled to their fate, and bore up under their defeat good-naturedly, being just as happy and cheerful at the finish as at the start.
 It is always pleasure to entertain such people, and we sincerely hope the opportunity will be afforded us to have them with us again ill the near future. We will endeavor on every occasion to give them pleasant time. and also to interest the boys playing ball. Following were among those present from Wynne:
 Misses Lou Montgomery, Sue Kelly, Addye Baker, Jimmie Hunter, Tabbie Oliver, Dollie Hambleton, Willette High. Miss Yantiss and Mrs. Lee. Messrs. Lee Block, Ellie Hotchkiss,
 Will Block. Troope Evans, Joe Snow den. Chas Morton, E. c, Patterson, Ashley Murphy, Will Snowden and l Frank Yantiss.
 They departed on the evening train in the best of spirits, bouyant with the hope that the time would not be far distant when the opportunity would be given them to play even."

An EconomieaI Steam Enrine.

A few years ago an old beam cngipA
built by James Watt which had beeN DE-
ing regular daily work for 1O2 years, was
taken down and replaced by a modern tn
CINE. The engine was originally 35
horsepowerengine and was erected in f7S5.
In 1875 some alterations were made 10 In
able it to work to 20 horsepower. 1t bad
"a inch cylinder, foot stroke and En
and planet motion. 1t worked at 2eeS
revolutions or 270 feet Of piston speed per
minute. In 1875 1t was tested by Mr. NJ.
Longbridge, when. with steam pressuEe
of five pounds per square inch. it indicated
4S.72 horsepower. with an expenditures of
coal of 4.59 pounds per indicated hnnse-
power per hour. Only the best modern 3D.
gines with the same condition Of loAfng
would work with two pounds of coal per
indicated horsepower per hour. One rs m
doubt whether to be surprised that, after
a century of endoavor to improve the esan-
omy of steam engine working, the proe11ss
is so small, or to DO proud that SO nifGh
has been achieved. -Professor W. c. -UA.

The Dreamy Eighdar.

Not Surprising.

A young woman, lately returned from
Europe, was talking with friend about
her experiences. If she is correctly repdH-
ed by the Boston Transcript, it must be
admitted that a foreign tour is not of ne
cessity liberal education.
She was telling about the wonderful
smoothness and pieasantness of the home
ward voyage.
1T lisa little surprising that you shond
have had clear weather and nothing elee,9'
remarked her friend, who felt Obliged b
say something.
Not at all, " answered the young lady.

AMENITIES OF A BEER HALL.
Laura Wants Kirk Punished for Dis
figuring Her Charms.


Laura Whitaker is fair, fat and about n
years old. Her natural beauty is at pres
ent spoiled by series of marks on her
nose. eye and neck. Yesterday afternoon
she told Judge Glasgow how il happened.
while Charles Kirk, who used 20 be her in
innate friend, listened and tried 20 con-
vince himself il was not 30.
Laura was well dressed and looked better
than when she is selling beer on commits
sion at the Mint beer hall. Her hat was
really pretty-one of those big white straw
ones with big red bow in front and little
white flowers peeping out of the center.
She was not prejudiced witness and ad-
mitted freely that she and Kirk took several
drinks OF beer at the New Zealand dance
house and also a few more at the Mint.
When they were at the upstairs bar at the
former place Kirk changed s. gold piece.
and Laura asked for a dollar She got il,
and Kirk was willing if she needed it.
When they were in the Mint, Laura left
Kirk. She said she did not think 1t was
necessary TO ask him TO excuse her. She
wanted to 60 her room in the Boston
house, and so she went.
After q while Kirk followed her, and
met her in the hall near her door. She re-
fused 10 60 back to the Mint, and was
entering her room when Kirk commenced
beating her. He followed her into the
room and choked her. Here Laura showed
big red mark on her plump neck and
sighed as Ii 10 was terrible thing to be so
dishgured. In the room was Otto Ander-
son. Laura's friend. He took her part and
csinched with Kirk. Manager Brown then
appeared on the scene and stopped
the fight. Kirk went out to the
spout to wash some blood off his face.
Laura said the blood was little streak
about as big as straw, but Kirk insisted
later that il was a torrent After Kirk
came back he met Anderson in front of
Laura's room and commenced calling him
names. OF course Mr.. Kirk was not
jealous, because II is several months since
he has known Laura. But right in the
midst of the discussion Laura came in her
self and Kirk hit her again. William
Dougherty, Kinks only witness. said
Laura tried to use big beer mug on Mr..
Kirk, but the statement was corroborated
only by Kirk himself. Then Anderson
took a hand and Laura tried to help him.
Dougherty held Laura so she could not
punch Kirk. Laura said she wanted TO
hit him but conldn't. At this point the
iandisdy insisted on calling in police
man.
Kirk was found guilty but sentence was
suspended until Monday morning, pend
ing hearing of Laura and Anderson for
disorderly conduct. Anderson was ar
rested last night.

PERHAPS A BABy SEA SERPENT.


Peculiar Horned Reptile Captured ON
the Tide Rists.
John Harvey, an engineer who lives in
the southern part of the city, called at the
Posr-INrKLIiaKScKR Office last evening and
exhibited mysterious-looking object
which his wife had pulled up from the
bottom of the bay while fishing for tom
cod. Mrs. Harvey and her little boy
Willie were fishing near Myers cannery.
and she had about fifty feet Of line out.
Pulling the line in, she was Mortified TO
find thereon an immense horned worm. or
SERPENT. about eight and half inches long
and three inches thick.
The serpent was covered with red horns
OF a gristly, sensitive character, almost
TRANSPARENT, and about quarter of an
inch long. The head was surmounted by
two horns, each about half an inch
long. There were no eyes. but in
stead several long. yellow feeIers.
When the object Was pulled up on
the dock it scrambled about, evidently in
search of some way of escape and seemed
thoroughly capable of living out OF the
water. The woman carried the thing home
and last evening Mr.. Harvey exhibited IL
about the city in a bucket of salt water.
For time the fish. or worm. or snake,
or whatever 10 was. displayed considerable
vitality. bat within an hour or two after
its capture 1t went into state OF coma,
from which IL could only be aroused with
difficulty.
I'm TO date no one had been found who
oould tell what the thing really was. and
no one. not even fishermen. could be
found who had ever seen anything like 1t.
