combination far more frequent than /:

regiment in Go. burdenad with wife
and war debt. A capital trooper, he
had won honors with the saber in the
Shenandoah; had risen to the command
of his battalion, and was urged to take
a commission in the regular army.
Famous names backed his application,
but he had been held to duty in Texas
while earlier-discharged volunteers
were picking up the plums in the
newly-authorized regiments. He got

rank and pay of low-down subaltern
of regulars when he and his wife and
little daughter joined the regiment
in the south. When he came to the
frontier after five years Of reconstruc-
ton duty her health was impaired as
much as his prospects. Morgan was
supporting an invalid wife, three chill

folly of female nurse and a scattered
indebtedness of no one knew just how

him; she had some who might, but
didn't. He wore old clothes, stinted

chance to end it all but for the
thought Of those helpless little ones,
when at last the wife, not he, was

showed his gait in 15 seconds.
Fifty yards were run in 6b seconds,
Lyon touched the tape first followed by
Dixon, Rogers and Sullivan. The others
were punched behind.
Sullivan was the champion in the accu-
rate throwing contest. All hands except
Egan and McCauley took a shy at the

Throwing being done from second base.
Rudderham spoiled Sully's record by
mailing the board on the first trial. He
hadn't thrown before. Dixon's throwing
was nearest in line.
Lyons was victorious i'm the elong throw

Rev. John j. Mcguire, pastor OF the
Immaculate Conception Church, died at
the parochial residence at II 80 last night,
after an illness OF two weeks duration.
The deceased was born in the county Ca
van, Ireland the Goth day of January, 1Si0
and came to this country when a young
man. He received his education for the
priesthood at st. Mary's College, Mary
land, and was made priest of the Roman
Catholic church, 20 years ago last Jan
uary. Father Mcguire was pastor of the
Immaculate Conception Church for the
past 13 years During his brief illness he
was attended by DR.. j. N. Barley.
who treated him for liver complaint.
Many OF the parishioners did not know
ne was ILL., and his sudden demise was a
matter OF great surprise to them this
morning when they heard the news.
Father Mcguire during his pastorate made
many friends by his kindly demeanor and
generosity. His familiar form could be
seen every morning going around among
the poor, dispensing charity to the needy,
and he was ever ready TO lend helping
hand to those in distress, no matter
whether Jew or Gentle. He was very
kind to the poor people during the dis
tress OF last winter, and complimented

enterprise. The reverend gentlemen
stood over six feet high and weighed
nearly $50 pounds. He will be buried
Saturday morning from the church over
