TEMPLE CUP GAMES.
Tebeau Suggests Playing Two At

Manager Tebeau Of the Cleveland base
ball club has been sent the following letter
by Manager 'Hanlon of the Baltimores:
ut looks now as though your team will
again be our opponent in the Temple cup
series. 1t being the privilege of the club
finishing first to designate the place for
opening games, I would suggest that the
first three games be played in Baltimore.
as follows. viz: October I. 2, 3. Thursday,
Friday and Saturday; the 5th and 9Th. Mon

in case of rain on either Of the first-named
days we can play ths postponed games on
the days left open. Should we be obliged to
play six games. you could arrange yours
for Thursday and Friday in Cleveland, the
sixth to be played in Pittsburg. I would
suggest that the conditions under which
we will L;|y to be the same as last year. In
my opinion, we do not need more than two
umpires. Waiting your opinion on the mat
NED HANLON."
Upon talking the matter over with Presi-
dent Robson, Capt Tebeau dispatched the
following message:
Mr.. Robson suggests that two games
be played in Baltimore. beginning Thurs
day, October 1. and two in Cleveland, be-
ginning Tuesday, October 6. Balance of the
games be played In Pittsburg. beginning
Saturday. October 10. in honor Of Mr.. Tenn
pie. donor Of the cup. In case Of rain at
Baltimore. games could be played later at
Cleveland and Pittsburg. This meets with
the unanimous consent of the Cleveland
club"
In speaking of the matter. Mr.. Robson
said: 1T certainly shows ill-taste and nerve
on the part Of the Baltimore captain to
make proposition like the one he made to
US. Their little scheme will not work. how
ever. II protests on our part will do any
good. l think our plan Is very good. as it
pays a compliment to Mr.. Temple. and. at

DECORATION DAY AT GRAFTON

Five Thousand Strangers Help TO Swell the
Crowd-A Good Address by Mr.. Blue.
Special to the Register.
Grafton, w. Va, May 30.-Grafton
was beautifully decorated in national
colors to-day and as early as noon yes
terday people began to arrive in the
city from different parts of the State.
There was probably five thousand peo-
pie attended the decoration exercises
here. The B. & o. ran special trains
over all its branches, and they all
brought large crowds of people Con-
gresham Blue, Of Kansas, was the ora
tor of the day. The exercises were
opened at the cemetery with prayer by
Rev. C. E. Shaw, of the M. E. Church,
after which Hon. John w. Mason intro
duced Mr.. Blue, who spoke for an hour.
His speech, which was the best ever
made here on an occasion like this, was
very fair and without the usual sec
tionalism which speakers indulge in
on these. occasions. He left his SUBJ
ject, however, long enough to state the
Republican party's position on the
money and tariff question.
About all there was of the decoration
was Mr.. Blues speech, music by the
Grafton and Fetterman bands, and
large crowd OF people, which was very
orderly and we'll behaved. Among
those on the stand were Hon. John w.
Mason, Senator Thomas e. Davis, Sena-
tor S. H. Gramm, Mr.. Allen, from
Pennington, who, by the way, is LOG
years old; and Attorney S. H. Sommer-
vile.

AT MARTINS FERRY.
A Very Successful Observance of the Day,
Despite the Threatening Weather.

A Very Successful Observance of the Day,
Despite the Threatening Weather.
Decoration day was observed yester-
day in a fitting and appropriate man
ner at Martins Ferry and was quite a
success considering the threatening APP
pearance of the weather.
All morning the sky had every APP
pearance of rain and in the afternoon
just az the parade began to form the
rain began to fall. 1t did seem to
dampen the ardor of the paraders, but
only for short time
The parade formed at 1 80 o'clock at
the corner Of Hanover and Fifth streets
and marched over the route headed by
the city police force in their new uni
forms: 1t was made up as follows:
CITY police force: Chief Marshal Geo.
w. Tweedy and his aides; Bellaire lady
drum corps; Spangler Post G. A. R. Of
Bellaire: Thoburn Post G. A. r. OF Mar
tins Ferry; school children; Jr 0. u.

Liberty, Alert and Vigilant hose COM
panies.
After the line of march had been
gone over. they proceeded to the Opera
House. where Rev J. w. Robins, pas
tor of the First NJ. E. Church, deliv-
cred the address of the day.
Services were opened by the lady
drum corps of Bellaire, consisting of
twelve misses ranging between twelve
and sixteen years.
A choir consisting Of Misses Ida Hoyle,
Carrie Crossley. Laura Hopkins, Mrs. j.
Robertshaw, Jesse Hipkins and Albert
Specht. under the leadership of ]. c. Gray,
followed with a song entitled -. Starry
Flag" Rev. w. II. Heston. Of the Sec
ond NJ. +. Church, lead the audience in
PRAYER. after whichh the choir sang beau
tiful song entitled Dropping from the
Ranks One by One"
Rev. Robins then opened with his ad-
dress by stating that it gave him great
pleasure and delight to see such large
audience present and on such day
thought that 1t showed great deal of pa
triotism and respect for those which this
day is set apart In commemoration OF.
Standing here in your presence, with
head uncovered and face upturned, en-
gagged in honoring the sleeping dead. You
honor yourselves when you thus honor
them. The scattering of flowers on
the graves of the dead does
not add anything to their glory.
The most II can do is TO instil the flames
of patriotism into the hearts of the people
It is exceedingly becoming that we on
this day should pass through every GEM
etery in the land and drop on the mounds
of the honored dead flowers in comment
grafton Of the past. The banner which at
tracted the most attention among the final
review of the army at Washington at the
close of the war was. "There is no national
debt we owe which we cannot pay except
that which we owe the soldier"
1t is infinitely important that the United
States not only honor but provide for the
surviving veterans of the war. and should
they fail to do so l believe as nation they
will suffer in the sight of God. 1t Is import

The programme arranged for the
local observance of Memorial Day was
fully carried out yesterday, although
the threatening skies in the morning
kept many persons at home who would
have otherwise gone to the parks or
taken a part in some Of the picnics or
other events, while a sharp shower
which began soon after one o'clock,
and lasted until about .half-past two,
prevented the attendance at the ceme-
teries, except at Mt. Zion, from being
anything like as large as it would have
been with good weather. There was
little in the way Of general decoration,
outside of the City Hail. and the really
artistic work upon the soldiers monu-
ment, citizens generally contenting
themselves with raising flag here and
there. Business was largely suspend
ed, but the suspension was not general
in some of the retail lines owing to the
impossibility of getting all the mer-
chants to sign agreements. Some
closed up regardless of agreements dur
ing the afternoon, while there was
practically a total suspension of bust
ness in the wholesale and jobbing
trade, the fact that the day was holt
day and the going into effect of the
Saturday half-holiday movement,
combining to produce this effect. The
banks were closed, as a matter OF
course, and 50 were the Federal and
city Offices and some of those connected
with the county government.
Just before the rain of the afternoon,
the G. A. Z. details, except Stephens
Post left their hall laden with flowers
and proceeded by the various routes to
the cemeteries assigned them, where
the formal programmes were fully car
RED out Stephens Post marched TO
Mt Zion cemetery at half-past eight in
the morning. They were accompanied
by many members Of the Junior o. U.
A. NJ and about seven or eight hum
dred children OF the public school of
the ward. The address of the day there
was delivered by Mr.. T. NJ. Garvin, and
was listened to by the large number Of
people present with the greatest inter-
est. At the other cemeteries in the af-
ternoon, the services were limited to
those laid down in the G. A. r. rituals,
after which the graves of Union and
Confederates alike were covered with
flowers.
