RAn RI-NA1wAN

About $50 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, horse. hitched TO an open buggy.
and tied in front Of Gundling's clothing
store, on Twelfth street, took fright at
a piece Of paper which blew in front OF
him. and, breaking his fastenings. tore
up Twelfth TO Chapline street, striking
a telephone post en- route, and breaking
the buggy almost to kindling wood.
The owner Of the horse is Contractor
POgue.
This runaway is evidence that the or
dinance forbidding the throwing of
paper in the streets should be strictly
enforced. Nothing is more liable to
brighten a horse than blowing paper.
and runaway, such as the above. en-
dangers the lives OF people walking in
the streets.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Boston. April 20.-The largest audi
euce that ever ass mbled on the Boston
base ball grounds witnessed poor eX-
hibition of ball playing between the
home team and the champion Balti-
mores. The crowd in the ou,tield was
so great that a rule was made that a
hit in the crowd was only good Cor one
base. This undoubtedly added to the
tame nature Of the game and also to the
large number Of runs that the Bostons
made. The game was called at the end

Mr.. Albert Townsend seconded Mr.

Mr.. Albert Burlcson spoke against Mr.
Browns amendment saving that two
years ago his suggestion had been fol

men on this committee. and that after
two and onc-half hours wrangle they
were unable to select even the first five
men. and in view of this fact he moved
to table Mr.. Browns amendment.
Pending vote on this. Mr.. Brown
served notice that he would introduce u

! ing certain delegates to the various con-
ventions in the interest of certain can
ddatcs.
This brought Mr.. Burleson to his feet
with the assertion that this ''cut and
dried cry was an old chestnut.
Mr.. Brown withdrew his amendment,
and the previous question was ordered
on the entire resolution by Mr.. j. w.
Brady.
Mr.. Brown asked for a division of the
question into three parts, saying he had
right to make such motion. He was
called down on point of order about
the previous question having been or
dcred. The chair sustained the point of
order and Mr. Brown appealed from the
ruling of the chair
Pending Il vote on this appeal from the
chair, Dr. Swcaringen arose and stated
that i'll the interest of harmony he would
withdraw all of his resolutions with the
exception of the first section, which APP
