ONLY THE FAITHFUL FEW
Witnessed the Montgomery-Lit-
 tie Rock Game.
SOMETHING BOUND TO DROP
Unless the Attendance Increases Rock Snaps Up Mcfarland National League
 6ames-The Races,

Montgomery, July 1S.-(Special)- )-There was a decided falling off in the attend ance at the ball park this afternoon, scarcely 400 people witnessing the ex- cellent game between Montgomery and Little Rock. Unless the weather moder- ates and the attendance increase Mont gomery's team will go the way of Chat tanooga's before many weeks. It takes money to keep baseball going. s
 Neil, one of Hayes pitchers, is laid up with a sore arm, and Clausen was forced to pitch again today. He was not in his usual good form, but pitched well, however and won his game. Fifeld for the visitors was very speedy, and for that reason was taken out of the game in the eight inning. the manager fearing that he would break his arm, as West of the Atlanta's did yesterday.
 Today was ladies' day at the park, and quite number of the fair faces were out to cheer on the home team to victory.
 Mcfarland, the cracker-jack fielder, who was released by Montgomery some weeks ago because of his inability to use the stick to good advantage, has been signed by Little Rock and played in the game today. I is said that he will cap tain that team in future. He is one of the few professional fielders' in the league, and many wise acres here think Hayes made mistake in releasing him.
 The official score of todays game is as follows.

 Drunk

Montgomery, July 1S.-(Special.)-J Glass, the pugilist-blacksmith of Pensa- cola, who has been in jail here for sev- eral days, charged with the larceny of $200 from young druggist, T. V. Steph- ems, of Selma, was released from custody today. It has been shown that Stephens was drunk and gave his money to Glass to keep for him. Glass was drunk, too, and gave the money to member of the Memphis baseball club to keep for him. Neither of them remembered the next morning the disposition of the money.
 Chief Gerald of the Montgomery police department says that this city is the dumping ground of the south for vaga- bonds, beggars and street fakirs.
 This morning there arrived in the city a stout, healthy young man and woman claiming to be his wife. They were in a destitute condition aond claimed to have walked all the way from Nicksburg, Miss. They are on their way to Atlanta, where the mother of the young woman resides. They say they feel confident of obtaining employment in Atlanta, and no doubt they will, as it will be about the time of the opening of the exposition when they arrive there.
 The Second regiment band of this city returned from Birmingham this morning. whither they went to attend the funeral of Dr. William R. Luckie, the beloved captain-surgeon of their regiment.

"GOD SAVE BULGARIA !"
Said Stambuloff as He Expired-lntense Feel
 ing in Sofia.

Sofia, July 1S.--Stefen M. Stambuloff, ex-prime minister of Bulgaria, died at 3:30 o'clock this morning from the wounds inflicted upon him Monday even ing when he was returning to his home from the Union club. Only 40 years old he had earned for himself the title of the. Bismarck of Bulgaria" and his last words were, God protect Bulgaria." His death has intensified the bitter feeling that exists between his partisans and the supporters of the political govern ment, and it has been freely charged that Prince Ferdinand and his ministers were directly responsible for his assassination.
 M. Petkoff, M. Stambuloffs personal friend and editor of his newspaper or gan, who was with him at the time he was set upon by the assassins and who was himself wounded. has been sitting beside the body ever since death oc- cured. He refuses to leave the dining room of the Stambuloff residence, where the remains are now lying. His wounds are in the head.
 The funeral of M Stambuloff has been fixed for Saturday afternoon Rumors are current that the poignards used by the assassins had poison on their blades, but these reports are not generally be- lieyed.

/ New Orleans, July 1S.-Memphis opened it's series with New Orleans to- day and lost by a score of to 2. The game was a regular heart disease pro- ducing one, and it was anybodys game up to the very last inning, when New Orleans got two men on bases by balls and Powell swated the hog hide for a three bagger, scoring both men. The game was replete with a number of bril- liant plays, and was beyond doubt one of the best exhibitions of the national sport put up on any grounds. Base hits were killed for any good by double plays on the following batsmen. Score:
