Want Nash AID Dexter.

The local cranks think that Chicago
could secure Dexter and Nash with a
little trading and some money. Louis
vile might take Decker for Dexter. as
Decker would make the best first-base-
man and the headiest captain the
Louisville nine has ever had. George
would have a good job, chance to
show his real ability, and Chicago
would get a star catcher and an out
fielder who could face the sun in left
without blinking. Nash would proba-
bly, have to be bought, as Philadelphia
would want too much in a trade.

fall, but as he was not considered fast
enough for the major league he was
released. In 1898 he participated in
ninety-two championship contests with
the Louisvilles. In 1894, which was his
last season with that club, he took part
In one hundred aud seven champion
ship games, this being the greatest
number of any year in his professional
career. AT the close of that season his
release was obtained by the Brooklyn
club, of the same league, and during

a remarkably clever showing as

were excellent. His good work with

Return To New Orleans.

Negotiations Pending Looking To His
Return To New Orleans.
BY Special Wire to the Sunday Light.
New Orleans, La, Aug. 29.-Nine
years ago Major Z. A. Burke, then
treasurer of Louisiana, skipped, with
100000 of the states money unac-
counted for. He had come into ma
tional prominence as manager of the
Cotton States Exposition, and the
news of his fall was a shock TO thou
sands who knew and loved him, for his
popularity was great. He headed for
the haven chosen by the famous Mem
phis fOrger, A. X. Ward, Honduras,
and has been there ever since. Re-
Gently he has been making money
there, and now it is believed that he
wants to come home, as his health is
very bad. At any rate, the arrival
in New Orleans of Mrs. Sue l.. Burke,
the wife of the former treasurer and
boss politician of the state, would pre-
sage such desire on his part.
Mrs. Burke reached the city on the
Royal Mail Line steamship Break
water She left Maj. Burke at Puerto
Cortez. He came aboard the ship
with her and saw her comfortably
fixed. The officers and crew Of the
ship say that the parting between the
man without country and his wife
was very affectionate. Both of them
wept bitterly as the ship steamed out
of the harbor. Mrs. Burke was given
every attention on the way over, and
stood the trip well. She was, during
her residence in New Orleans. a beau
tiful woman, but exptirpation, which
was dictatedsby love for her husband,
has told on her heavily, and her face
and form bear the imprint of time and
sorrow.
In general way. it is understood
that Mrs. Burke will seek to so ar
range matters as to make il possible
for her husband to come back to the
city, and is thought that she has some
instructions from Major Burke as TO
what she will do concerning arrange
ments for the bond he will have to
give, etc. 1t Is intimated that Major
Burke is in need of surgical treatment
and to get it here he will be willing
to facS|anything that may be in store
FOR him in this state. He has done
well financially of late, and feels that
his life is to be prolonged he must
fAeye the necessary surgical and media
cal treatment, from which it would
seam that Major Burke may soon be
expected back.

An entertainment was given by the

and was quite success,and very
generally attended, as it was free for
all. The success of the affair was
mainly due to Misses May Burgess

it was gotten up and carried out, as

of the League. These two young la

Mr.. Potter, living at no Cactus
street, has a curiosity in the form of
a newspaper. 1t is a copy of one of
the last issues ever printed of
the Vicksburg Daily Citizen, publish
ed at Vicksburg, Miss, Thursday, Jul,
ly =, 1863. 1t is made up in 6-col-
umn length, but is only four columns
wide, printed on one side of gaudily
colored sheet of wall paper. The ORR
ginal date was July 2, and contains an
account of Grants maneuvers outside
of the city, but the forms were locked
up again without the changing of the
date and reprinted on July 4, with a
small item at the bottom of the last
column, giving the intelligence that
Grant had entered Yicksburg and pro-
nouncing it's own valedictory. The
following is the Heading article in the
first issue, July .:
Grants forces did little firing on
Tuesday afternoon, but the balance of
the day was comparatively quiet. Yes
terday morning they were very still,
and continued so until early ip the af-
ternoon, when they sprung a. mine on
the left of our centre, and opened fire
along the line for some distance. We
have not been able to ascertain any
thing definite as to our loss, but as our
officers were on the outlook for this
move by the enemy, the expectations
of the Yankees were not realized by a
greatdeal T" g - The great Ulysses
the Yankee Generalissimo, surnam-
ed Grant, has expressed his intention
of dining in yicksburg on Sunday
next, and celebrating the fourth of Ju-
ly by a grand dinner and so forth.
Ulysses must get into the city before
he dimes in it. The way to cook rab-
bit is first to catch it. etc"
The valedictory. published July 4,
has heavy black rule turned above
it and reads as follows:

ITALIAN TAX ON SULPHUR.

Washington, August 29.-The State
department has received a cable dis
patch from Consul Caughy. at Mes
sina, Italy, stating that the Italian gov
eminent. beginning last Thursday, ex-
acts one Ira $4,000 tax, per ton on
sulphur beside the present export
duty of IL liras per ton. The impor-
lance of this change to American drug
interests is explained in a recent re-
port to Consul Ritter, at Catania, It
ally. He says the AnglO-Sicilian sui
phur trust has been formed to con-
troll the sulphur market, having its
centre in Italy. The capital stock is
$50,0O0,OOO. By arrangement with the
government additional duties were
provided. The United States consum-
es 10000 tons of the Sicilian sulphur
annually and Consul Ritter says the
higher rate of the crude birthstone
will therefore cause great injury to the
acid makers and other manufacturers
of the United States.
