BASE BALL.

Shaffer and his Houston Mud
Cats left for home last night and
took with them sad tale. The
Houston cranks will be anxious
for an explanation from their base
ball leader, but the best thing for
Mr.. Shaffer to do is to tell the
truth and say that the Mud Cats
were simply outplayed.
While Houston was always con.
sidered one Of the strongest teams
in the league and defeated the
other teams with ease, the Mud
Cats have had more trouble with
the Bronchos than with any tea m
this season. Every time the Bron.
chos went to Houston the people
looked for good ball, for. it seemed
that they played better ball than
at home or in any other city in the
state.
The four clubs in the league are
now closely punched, the margin of
percentage between the leaders
and tailenders being but 40 points.
The result of one game is likely to
change the positions Of the teams.
The Bronchos left for Austin this
morning for series Of three
games, after which they return to
San Antonio for four games with
the Senators, which closes the sea-
son.
San Antonio defeated Houston
yesterday by score Of IA to 2,
making it seven straight games
that San Antonio won from Hous-
ton,

at Clayton, st. Louis county. The
receiver, G.. A. Wurdeman,
Immediately qualified, filing a
$4,000 bond with the Lincoln
Trust company, OF st. Louis, as
surety. Then he went over to the
company's power house at Brent

But he found the doors locked.
Mr.. Wurdeman was somewhat
chagrined by the inhospitality
shown him. He returned to Clay

Hirzel. The latter heard the mat

The company had appealed from
the courts judgment overruling
the motion to vacate the receiver
ship order, and its counsel urged
that the receiver could not legally
take possession pending this ap.
peal. The company filed a super

pretty legal problem was thus pre-
sented. But Judge Hirzel granted
Receiver Wurdeman a writ OF as

The receiver then returned to
Brentwood accompanied by Sheriff
G. G. Garrett, after having been
told by the company's counsel that
his efforts to obtain possession of
the power house would not again
be blocked.

VBNGEFUL BLACKS
Combine to Pay off an Old Score on a

Faithful officer.
New Orleans, Sept. l.-Patrol
man Mike Brown, attached to thu
Seventh precinct, was very rough
ly handled by a crowd OF foul
negroes in front of John ONiePt
barroom, at the corner OF Bor'
deaux and Magazine streets
there have been many complaints
lodged with the police relative to
The crowd Of negroes who congre'
gate at this corner and use filthy
language aid also insult passers-
by and obstruct the sidewalk.
When Brown saw the quartette
of negroes standing at the corner
at midnight, he walked up and
told them that they would have to
move on. One OF them replied
that she guessed not" and Brown
told them he would arrest them If
they did not go. One Of the
negroes struck the officer from be-
hind on the head with a blunt in
strument. The blow was a hard
one, and as Brown turned he was
again struck in the face and was
knocked down. He attempted to
get his pistol out, but it was
knocked out of his hand and one Of
the negroes fired an Intellectual
shot at the policeman, after which
they made their escape. The
police at the Seventh Precinct
station were notified and Corporal
Rawlings, Dooman Friedman and
several other policemen went to
the scene. Brown was taken to
the police station and the ambu-
lance summoned. His wound was
dressed by the students and pro-
nounced painful, after which he
was taken to his home, on Con-
stance street, near Delachaise.
A negro named Paul Bsptiste,
who was in the crowd at the time
of the assault on the policeman,
was arrested after hot chase by
Porter Friedman and locked up
charged with being an accessory to
the assault.
1t seems that about three weeks
ago Officer Brown had occasion to
arrest an Italian who refused to
move away from the corner. O'Niel
interfered and he also was arrested
and the next day fine Of S. was
imposed on him. The police con-
meet this incident with the assault
and say that apparently the
negroes were waiting for chance
to do the policeman up.

treat on Vandeventer avenue for
dispensing libstions was enlivened
by a short but decisive fistic
battle between Tom Wand, the
liyeryman and Democratic politi.
clan, and Joseph Flsnnery, n

Mr.. Wand got off with black eye,
and Mr.. Flannery sustained a Sc
very cut in the face, which re-
quired the services OF a surgeon,
and will result in Mr.. Flannery's
retirement for a few days to re-
cuperate. Both gentlemen have
for years been fast friends, and it
Is said that this condition was re-
sumed Immediately at the close OF
hostilities.
The principals, with two or
three other gentlemen, were in the
throes of vigorous discussion,
when Mr.. Flannery entered a pro-
test against a remark made by
Mr.. Wand, which action he EN-.
phasized by striking Mr.. Wand in
the face. Mr.. Wand retaliated by
striking Mr.. Flannery. The com
batants were then separated. Elan.
merry had a serious cut in the face,
from which blood was flowing free.
ly. DR.. Taylor was called to dress
the wound, and the injured man
was then accompanied home by 8

Bl(: GAS SHOW.
IL Will BE Held in Gotham After the
HOLIDAYS.

The artificial gas interest Of this
country Is an exceedingly important
and extensive one. There are in the
neighborhood of loo cities and towns
Of the United States lighted in large
part by manufactured gas. In addition
there are thousands of homes in which
gas is being largely, If not wholly, em-
ployed for cooking and heating pur-
poses. About $500, 200 is invested in
gas works property in this country, and
the gas interest Is perhaps second in
Importance only to the investment in
railroad properties.
The gas Industries propose to hold an
exposition at Madison Square Garden,
New York city, opening on January 81,
1897. and holding for two weeks. At
this exposition will be shown every
practical apparatus and appliance
which enters into the manufacture or
distribution of gas as an Illuminating
or heating agent.
One of the features Of the exposition
will be cooking demonstrations both af-
ternoon and evening, two competent
demonstrators having been secured for
this work. A gas tower of large dimen-
sions has been arranged for and will
be one Of the great curiosities at the
fair: consisting Of an extremely Orna-
mental and most brilliantly Illuminated
spectacular piece, the dimensions of
which will be twenty feet at the base.
and running to q height of IS feet on
which will be artistically arranged
about $500 gas jets.
Evidently the gas people propose to
demonstrate to the public that their
product Is capable of producing equally,
If not superior. lighting effects to those
| claimed for the electric light.

New York. Nov. 9.-Stocks were ir-

regularity of prices was the result OF
realizations by professional operators

market was the buying OF the low
