A Warmly Contested Baseball Mat ch
at the Presidio.
Something like 500 people graced the
grand stand and bleachers at the Presidio
yesterday afternoon to witness the base
ball game between the Calliopeans and the
Barkers. A mum mber of ladies were pres
ent, and the keenest interest was displayed
in the game.
At the call of time considerable talk was
occasioned by the Introduction OF German
into the game, whom the Calliopeans
claimed was professional.
The Calliopean Club being an undefeated
team feared their first Waterloo at the
hands of the Barkers, but were finally
talked into letting the game go on with
German behind the bat. After the first
in ming the Cailiopeans had things pretty
much their own way. Golinsky In the box
succeeded in footing the Barkers from the
first.
The score by innings was as follows:
Calliopeans. 2 o 3 8 4 8 2-22

INCREASED TAXES.
The Merchants Association VIII Prob
ably Enter a Protest Against
the Raise.

At its quarterly meeting tonight the
Merchants Association will probably take
some action in relation to the recent raise
in the City assessment rate. The right OF
the State Board of Equalization to raise
the assessment 90 per cent is seriously
questioned. One of the officers said yes
terday:
"There does not seem to be any doubt
that the action of the equalizers is a
proper subject for review by the Supreme
Court. That the courts may take cogni-
zance of the action of the board seems to
be settled by the fact that the action of
the Railway missioners was made the
subject of legal investigation. The equal
izers seem TO stand in much the same
position. We believe that there can be no
official act without some redress. The
equallZers may possibly be right, and in
that case decision by the court would
settle the question, as it would should it
be found that rank injustice has been
done.'

SHOT At THE CONDUCTOR
A Chinaman Who Objected to
the Southern Pacific Com.
pany'S Methods.
He Drew His Revolver and Fired
Three Shots at Harry
Rnwick.

Harry Enwick, the rly-morning-tr
conductor from San Jose to this City, is
contentedly nursing a few bruises and
abrasions, while offering up thanks that
nothing more serious has happened to
him.
Monday morning Enwlck signaled his
train out OF San Jose to arrive here at $50.
Among his passengers was Chinaman
who had barely caught it, not having time
to stop for his ticket at the Office.
The heather was not aware of the arbi-
trary assessment imposed by the railroad
company under the name of train rates. -
which imposes fine OF 10 per cent on pas
sengers who do not purchase their trans
portation in advance, ard he raised vocif-
erous objections to the tax. They were of
no avail, however, and he brooded over
the supposed discrimination to such an
extent that he was at real highbinder
fighting heat when Lawrence station was
reached.
Enwick had stepped on the platform. in
the regular course of his DUTY, and he
gracefully waved his hand to the engineer
to make another start.
Bang bangl bangi was heard, and
the smoking revolver of the Chinaman
poured out three leaden pellets calcu-
lated 20 take the last breath out of any
man if properly directed.
Enwick is athletic, and above all he is
sprightly. The first shot and the whiz of
the bullet warned him of his danger. He
did everything but try to throw the race
in his run for cover, and the last two bull
lets never caught him. The Chinaman
has not been captured either.

A Historic MULE.-"Old Mack" a
mule owned by the Misses Smith, who
reside near the Bull Run battlefield,
died suddenly on the night OF January
81, at the age of about 81 years, al
though his exact age is not known.
The young ladies heard their faithful
old friend, to which they were greatly
attached, bray about 10 o'clock, the
night on which he died. and although
they remarked upon the unusual oc-
curence of the animal braying at that
time OF the night, they paid no atten-
ton to the matter until next morning
when they found the mule dead in the
stable.
Soon after Lees surrender Mr.. Robt
Mitchell, of this county, rode MACK
home from Appomattox, and in 1866
Mr.. II. G. Smith, father of the young
ladies referred to, purchased the mule
from DR.. Mitchell.
1t is said that "Mack" was never
known to be sick day while in the
possession of the Smiths. He was Mr.
Smiths constant riding nag during the
time he owned him and is doubtless
we'll known by most people in this sec
ton of the county.-Manossas Journal

Joy HAsTENs THE ENDs.-A dispatch

Joy HAsTENs THE ENDs.-A dispatch
from Pittsburg says Robert Chandler
died Friday from excessive Joy. He
came to Pittsburg several years ago
and in short while consumption dis
abled him. His wife then took up the
task of supporting him and herself. As
Chandler grew worse he wanted to go
back to his southern home, in Roanoke,
Va, to die. His wife toiled every day
but her earning were hardly enough to
keep herself and her husband. She
tried for two or three years to save
enough money to take him back, but
the demands Of different periods of mis-
fortune took her little savings more
than once. She told her story to Ex-
aminer George Booth, and he provided
her with the railroad tickets. A car
riage was sent to take Chandler from
his home to the Baltimore and Ohio de-
pot. He was as happy as child when
ne was helped into it. He bsde his
friends goodbye, and told them
thst he felt as if he was good for
couple of more years yet, anyhow.
When the carriage drove away he lean
ed out of the widow, waved his neigh.
bors last adieu and then settled back in
the cushions.
At the depot the driver jumped down
from his seat, opened the door and said
cheerfully "Here we are, old man."
Chandler made no reply. He was sit
ting upright as if asleep. Then the
driver caught him by the shoulder and
shook him gently to arouse him.
Chandler's head and body dropped for
ward and corpse fell into the drivers
arms. His happiness at having the
means to fulfil mis- last wish was too
much for his exhausted vitality. Dis
ease had nearly ended his lite and joy
finished the woe. His wife went to the
office OF the Department of Charities.
Examiner Hoffman gave her an order
for coffin in exchange for the railroad
tickets. Her husband dead, she had
no desire to go to Roanoke. She will
bury him here and make Philadelphia
her home Chandler was about thirty
years DID,
