Base Ball at Mayesville.

The game q. Mayesyllle yesterday was a
very pretty one and exhibited some 6ne play
ing on both sides. The first part of the
game was close, and up to the Sd or 4th
inning the score was to /. Mayesville
gradually worked ahead until at the seventh
inning the score was to 3. Soon after
Mayesville made home run and scored 4,
aud also added one or two more while Man
ming was changing her score from to 5, so
that the score stood about to IA until Man
ming also made q home run on ball that
vas landed in almost the same spot as the
one on which Mayesville had made their home
run. The only wraugle that occurred was
about the close of the last inning when some
of the Manning boys kicked vigorously
against the umpires ruling on ball that the
kickers claimed was blocked ball, and it
looked as if the game was of, but good
nature and reason prevailed. The game was
continued to the end and closed just before
twilight. 10 for Manning and IS for Mayes-
yille.
While there was an absence Of kicking in
general and the entire game was conducted
very orderly, there were of course { few CON-

Daily Item, Aug. 5.

Yesterday vas general holiday at Mayes-
vile. Business was suspended and every
body united With the veterans of Company

the happy thought of having a gala-day for
every body in conjunction With the annual
meeting of survivors.
The Survivors meeting aad pic Lie was
held in the grove adjoining the Masonic Hall,
which was thrown open for the accommoda'
ton of those who desired to avail themselves
of the shade and seats within the building.
The meeting was called to order on the
platform arranged under the shade Of the
grove abou. II o'clock, and was presided
over by Mr.. ". J. DuRant.
After prayer by Rev. Jas. Mcdowell, Mr.
Isaac G.. Strauss was introduced and made a
short address of welcome on behalf Of the
Mayesville town couucil.
Owiog to the absence of the Secretary and
the roll OF Co. E., the calling of the roll was
dispensed with and the chairman made a
statement as to tie number of survivors,
about 26, and how they are scattered, one
being now in Mexico.
The regular orator of the day not being on
hand, Chairman DuRant introduced Mr.. w.
n. Bel!:nger, of Charleston, who was also a
veteran, having entered the Confederate SER
vice at l5s years old, and had consented to
address the meeting.
At the close of Mr.. Beliuger's remarks
dinner was announced, and everybody was
invited to the tables, which were provided
with an abundance for all preseat--estimated
at about 800.
After dinner all were iovited to
the tobacco warehouse, where Mr..
Be!iinger presided and io,oduced Capt.
D. E. Keels aud Mr. T. C. Strauss who
addressed those present in behalf of the
Pudding Swamp Tobacco Warehouse Com
psny.
A very good performance by Mayesvile
amateur minstrel company entertained the
audience after the close of the speaking for
an hour or more until the base ball game was
ready to begin on the ground just outside the
warehouse.
There was an overhowiug abundance of ice
cool lemonade all day and everything was
done to make the visitors comfortable.
Harrison Witherspoons band of musicians
was also on hand to add to the other pleas
nres Of the day.
The Pudding Swamp tobacco warehouse Is

At the fire Sunday morning last
we had another occasion to judge
Of the utility OF the hand pumps,
we believe that the little pump
handled by our colored firemen
saved the other buildings. Sup
pose the other hand engine was
put in good order, and had been
at the fire, how much sooner the
danger of a conhsgration would be
dispelled2 We believe that the
other hand pump should be put
In order and an engine house near
the old house where the Hooks
and Ladder Co., have their truck
should be built for that engine,
on the property of the tiremen.
Our fire department is not in the
condition it should be, and out

A Sad Death

John Bowers, son Of Amos Bow
ers, died of typhoid fever in Hunt
ineton, W. Va. Mr.. Bowers was 6
graduate Of Dunsmore's Bushes;
College and had only recently NOV
ed to Huntington, where he had
secured a position. He was a fine
specimen of physical manhood,
standing 6 feet 2 inches and weigh
ing 206 pounds. His remains were
taken to his home in Sugar Grove,
W. Va, this morning, where the
interment will take place. The
scene at the depot between the
father and his son George was very
pathetic, and will not soon be for
gotten by those who witnessed it.

Remembrance.

On the green banks of the river,
Where the limpid waters flow,
Where the sunbeams dance anC
culver,
And the little howerets blow.
With my pretty, blue-eyed darling
In the sunny days of yore,
There we WANDERED, none more
happy,
Dreamed Of sorrow neyermore.
Now beside the selfsame river,
Where the willows bending low,
Kiss and kiss the ripping waters,
In their ceaseless, onward flow;
There | wander, sad and lonely,
Thinking Of the loved and lost
Of my pretty. fragile darling
Sweetly sleeping in the dust.
But there flows another river.
Clear as crystal from the throne.
On whose banks I hope to wander.
When ife's toilsome' work is done
With my bright, angelic darling,
In that land OF living light,
There in bliss to gladly wander,
Clad in robes of spotless white.

Arrested by the Sheriff.

Sheriff E. NJ. Arbogast on last
Sunday evening receiyed phone
message from Hightown to the eff
feet that bloody fight had occur
red on Saturday evening among
some road hands on the Little Back
Creek road, and it was necessary
that arrests be made.
The sheriff acted promptly, He
deputised Mr.. Ed. Wilson to aid
him, and they Immediately started
on their errand. They found
that a warrant had been issued by
Justice Woods for the arrest of w.
D. Snyder and his brother, }. T.
Snyder, charged with assaulting ST.
las W. Halterman, who lives near
the State line on the West Virgin
ia side. After a long, dangerous
and tiresome ride, Messrs. Arbogast
and Wilson reached the home of
Snyder brothers at late hour in
the night. They live a considera
BILE distance from the road, far up
in the Allegheny mountains. Thew
were both found at home, and with
out resistance accompanied the
sheriff to Monterey, where they ar
rived Monday morning about 1OI
o'clock.
Witnesses having been summon
ed, the case came up for trial be-
fore Justice Wilson in the court
house, Monday evening. Common
wealth's attorney J. NJ. Colaw took
part in the case in his official ca
pacity, and Mr.. S. B. Sieg appear
ed for the Snyder brothers. Mr..
Halterman was present, and from
the variegated appearance of his
face he was easily singled out as
the sOrely aggrieved party.
From the evidence it appeared
that W. D, Snyder was rather anx-
.ous to settle an old grudge with
Halterman, and made it convenient
10 call around where Halterman
was sledging rocks, some distance
rom the balance Of the hands. He
evidently considered the hammer a
formidable weapon, for he took the
orec%ntion Of partially disabling
he wielder with couple of ground {
biscuits before advancing. The
cratcheS and bruises on Halter
mans face showed that consider
bly, one-sided fsticuff took place
fter the throwing Of the rocks.
For the over anxious spirit of
ght shown by ". D, Snyder, and
he zeal with which he carried it j,
ut. Justice Wilson thought it =
ught to be worth to the State 500 !
nd costs. j. F. Snyder, who came II
n late in the action, it appeared
cted in the capacity of peace MAX

this action on the part of Mr.. Bird

Such men as Senators Brice and
German, men who meyer allow
their hopes and wishes to warp their
judgment, are satisfied that the
nomination Of Mckinley by the
republicans will give the democrats
more than fighting chance to
elect the next President, and Nc
Kinley's nomination is now regard
ed as certain as anything not yet
absolutely accomplished can be.
Consequently there is lively
sprucing up among democrats, and
Q quiet but strong movement look
ing towards party unity at the Chi
cago convention has been started.
Upon the success Of this movement
largely depends party success next
November, as it is only by unity !
that the party can possibly win. |
This movement hasn't got down to |
Metals yet. It only seeks to i'm
press upon the mind Of every dem
'ocrat the necessity for the minori-
ty of the National Convention to

ed that every delegate to the con-

port to the candidate and platform |
before he takes his seat. That is
