A WILD GOOSE CHASE.
The Pine Bluff Battery Goes to sher- Till, But the Adverse Team
 Doesn't Show Up.

The fame of our illustrious base ball team has spread abroad it seems. At any rate the diamond diggers of England having heard of the prowess of our men, asked aid; but doubtless said nothing of mat ter to the Sherrill men whom they had selected as their victims. Messrs. Vowell and Baldwin were the early birds that started after those SherriIl worms, and after walk ing around in the cotton fields for several hours and enjoying the beauties of the scenery, they boarded the incoming train for home. It's a very good thing that the Sherrill men didn't show up. It would have proved fatal. Probably they have received instructions ftom the Dickinson Arms Club ss to the best method of playing the crawfsh act.

HON. s. M. TAYLOR.
His Speech Before the Chicago Con-
 Vention.

During the second days proceed ings of the National Democratic Con yention at Chicago. the Hon, s. NJ. Taylor, of this city and delegate from the Second Congressional Dis triet, delivered the following brief speech in support of the majority re- port of the Committee on Creden- tials, of which he was member. in the Michigan contest. The report of his speech is from the Chicago Chron- icle. Mir. Taylor spoke as follows:
 Mir Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con vention:-According to my judgment, as a member of the Committee on Credentials of this great National Democratic Convention, sitting on the trial of this controversy as a iuror intending to do and vote, as l see it, for the right, derived from the tes timony in this case that in the State of Michigan one of the greatest wrongs was perpetrated by the seating of the delegation as recognized by the National Committee as ever l saw Great applausel
 Gentlemen and fellow citizens. the defense interposed to the prosecution set on foot by the contestants. if it amounted to anything according to the evidence, was nothing more than a plea of confession and avoidance. (Applause9
 Fellow citizens, the gentleman who has just taken his seat on the minority report said that what you wanted was ft cts. This case was left in the hands of the committee and
 we have been in earnest, solemn session over this question: and we have been battling all night long with the testimony. Statement after statement that was made by the con testees was deliberately denounced as being untrue by the contestants present and sup ported by solemn aftidavits.
 1 Fellow citizens, it is a question for you to decide whether Democrats in the great State | of Michigan who are honestly and fairly here representing the majority or tne Democracy of that State shall be stihed and throttled and driven from this convention, 1 or whether you will recognize them as the legal and lawful representatives of that constituency. (Applause) Now, gentlemen of the convention, we want 10 wrong donei we want that done here which will be Just and which will be right. As representa- tive of one view of the financial question rep
 resenting the majority report, we have voted 1 to seat only two contestants from the Fourth
 District: two from the Ninth and the others to remain seated as they are recommend to the National Convention. That shows gem tlemen of the convention, that we intend to be fair and intend to do what is right and
 what is just and what was necessary for the democracy of the State. Now, gentlemen ol the convention, I have not desired to take I'D your time. but I would say that if you had heard the sworn testimony as we had il the undisputed facts on many points q we had it-you would come to the same con clusion that the majority has come to, ane that is that the majority report should ot aaonted by this convention. l thank yoh

TWO LITTLE GIRLS KILLED.
Sad Accident Which Happened Near
 Marshall. In Minnesota.

MARSHALL, Minn., July 16.-A terri. ble accident occurred short distance east of Marshall in which two little girls were killed and another seriously in- jured. The little son of MT.
