LAST GAME.
Spiritless Contest Winds Up the Ball
League Schedule.

The ball game Saturday afternoon
was one of the very slowest on record.
There were not over fifty people pres
emit. w. II. Cornwell, Jr., was in the
box for the Honolulus and pitched a
very fine game. j, o. Carter, Jr., of
the Star Club and Pat Gleason of the
Regiments played with the Honolulus
to fill up the team. Duke McNichol
umpired the game. Carter devoted
himself chiefly to encouraging his
men.
The low score was due more to in
different batting rather than to good
playing. \ few fine plays were made,
however, and the fielding was perhaps
up to the average. No runs were re-
corded i'm the first four innings. Then
the Kams loosened up with one. and
were followed with another by the
Honolulus. After that runs were pretty
much the result of bad luck. Features
of the game were the catching of Corn
well i'm the box and the batting of
Meek and others. The score by innings
was as follows:
Rams ...........O 0 o 1 2 0 3 O-G
IIonolulus ........0 900 001 Ia

HIS EAlRY ROARDsRS.
In Trying to Save the House He Drove
Them All Away.

According to his story, the whole trouble
arose from the fact that he failed to make
any stipulation. as to weight when he nd
vertised for summer boarders. OF course
no one else ever does anything of that sort,
but that has nothing to do with this par
ticular case. The letter said that gentle
man and his wife and four young ladies
wished to secure board on the shores of the
lake for the month of August, and visions
of sylphlike beauties with small appetites
floated through the mind of the proprietor
of the place.
at is so much more pleasant to have
young ladies than young men around, he
said young men are inclined to be
rough and smash things just in the exubcr-
ance of their spirits Young ladies are
much more satisfactory boarders at a quiet
little place like this, and I've cut the rate
little to get this party"
They came and an hour later the pro-
prletor was seen out behind the kitchen
trying to kick himself. The head of the
family weighed $50 pounds his wife weigh
ed trifle more and the most sylphlike of
the daughters wasn't an ounce under $50.
Just to show what she could do the fairy
of the party had thrown herself into ham
mock belonging to one of the other board
ers, and the proprietor realized at once that
the fastenings would have to be replaced
at his expense. Between breakfast and
dinner three hammocks came down, and
the rest were only saved by prompt action
on the part of their owners.
After dinner a rustic bench went down
under the weight of the four girls, and a
little later one of them tried to sit down
on pretty little railing that had been
put around "A flower bed. She landed
among the flowers, and there was some
talk of a lawsuit growing out Of damage
to her clothing.
Sentiment overcame the four as dusk
came on, and they tried the dreamy waltz
on little observation stand, ending with
something in the line of fancy dance.
Fortunately they all landed on their feet
when the stand came down, but they were
angry nevertheless, and they promptly
started on the warpath after the proprietor.
They found him laboriously dragging a
big piece of scantling in the direction o.
! the house.
Don't bother me now,' he cried. "I've
got to get the house propped up before bed
time if I'm going to save it. -
That was why they left Chicago Post

A Trio Of Dusty Denizens Who Tried to
Paint the Town Red.

A few days ago three country cubs
from Cumberland and Harnett came
to Raleigh. They came here with the
intention OF painting the town
lurid crimson They be-
gan the job by going to the
locality known as the 'Bowery."
1t seems that they had a pistol apiece,
and they alarmed the whole neighbor-
hood with their shooting.
After awhile the edge Of their BRAY
ado vas dulled. The inhabitants OF the
locality sent for the police, but when
the guardians Of the peace arrived
the three birds had flown.
They left town at pretty rapid gait
and went to Garner. The authorities
learned the destination Of the trio, and
telegraphed to the deputy sheriff there
to arrest them.
Deputy Sheriff Nash Smith, of Gar
nar, immediately went on the war
path.
He found they were stopping at a
Negroes house near Garner. He had
the house surrounded, and the three
seemed to be caught il q bag. But the
fellows were sharp and slick, and
when the house was raided the sheriff
found only one man. The floor Of the
cabin had been taken up, and the other
two had escaped.
The officer brought Henry Moore to
Raleigh and placed him in the county
jail
The other two, after Moore's capture,
became frightened, returned TO Rail
elgh, and gave themselves up to the
police.
Mayor Russ tried them for assault
with deadly weapons, and bound all
three of them over to the Superior
court Of Wake county Moore and
James Mclean fg1led TO give bond,
and were committed to Jail to await
trial at the next term Of the Superior
court. The third man gave bond, and
was released
All three are negroes.
