BASKET BALL. PINE RLHRF DEFEATS I,r,nI. IF. ?
 ROCK An Interesting Game With a Score of l9 to 8. in Favor of the
 Local Team.
DINE pIuRF np1rAre rrrr p
ROCK

The exhibition of skill, endurance and scientific athletic work at the Merrill Institute last Tuesday night waswell worth abuay mm's evening and q poor man's quarter.
 The game was called at SIS and until 10 o'clock the audience ia the gallery was kept thoroughly inter- ested in the work OH the floor, and delighted by the figures un the score board.
 The Pine Bluff team played all around their opponents and scored 19 points Mhic Little Rock succeed- cd in getting s.
 Tho purple and white eolors worn by the Little Rock boys made a nice appearance before the game. nobody knows how they looked after that
 Little Rock scored the first goal soon after the game began, in neat play by Hutton and Bilhiemer, and the audience did the graceful thing by giving them an encouraging cheer when Bilheimcr dropped the bali in the basket.
 Soon after this Hut and Fomasz- wski began to get in their work. and the ball kept dropping in the basket Tn way that kept the audience noisy, and made Little Rock sorry they came
 MeGregor played a splendid game at Center and kept his opponent well out of the game while he himself scored points.
 Hut and Dixon who played Back for Pine Bluff, kept the ball well out of their territory, and Mir. Bilheimer, who is a physical director, and an experienced athlete, found Hut an opponent who was with him at every turn, and seldom allowed him to win cheer.
 The entire local team were stlmu- lated to their best efforts by the memory of the last contest, at Little Rock, when their colors were drag ged in he dust and their 13 scores looked small, because Little Rock counted l6.
 The first half of the contest was umpired by Mir. Johnson, of Little Rock, and there was no kicking by any player, although the audience howeled at some of his decisions which seemed to favor the Little Rock team.
 The second half was umpired by NJ. S Fall, and Bilheimer immediate. ly proceeded to kick on every decis- ion, although Mir. Johnson, their own Secretary, declared that Mir, Falls decisions were fair.
 The visiting team were undoubted- ly treated "white' and the Pine Bluff boys are to be commended for conducting themselves like gentle men, under trying circumstances. If was evidently the intention of Mir. l5ilhiemer and his men to win, by fair means if possible; but to win.
 The members of the local team show unusual athletic ability and the Association here will no doubt be able to put a very desirable track team in the field this issummer, as well as n base ball team and foot ball team in season.
 This is the first event of a series of interesting athletic entertain ments, to be furnished to the public, by the local Association, this sum- mer, and fl the following events prove equally interesting, there can be no doubt of the success of the undertaking.
 The next event will be gym nasium exhibition which promises to be equally as interesting as the Basket Ball game of last evening.
 The teams lined Up as follows:

THEIR PLAN OF ACTION.
Democratic Members OF Common Coun.
Gil Decide Not TO Attend Mondays
Special Meeting.

Not a man of the twelve Democrats
in common council will respond to the
call issued for a special meeting Mon
day morning before the annual reor-
ganization. At least such was decided
at their caucus last evening at the
Globe hotel whose proprietor Is one of
their number Mr.. Flanagan.
JIX-President 7. j. Nealis. of the
Fourteenth ward, was the unanimous
choice of the caucus to be the Dem
ocratic candidate for president, which
is equivalent to an election, as the
new councils will contain but nine Re
publicans out of total of twenty-one
members. Whatever else was done at
the meeting could not be learned, as
the. members pledged themselves to
secrecy. MIR. Noone was the only alb
sentee, but from the Moses Taylor hos
pital. where he is convalescing from
recent injury. he sent his approval
of Mr.. Nealis' candidacy and pledged
himself not TO attend the early morn
ing meeting on Monday.
Mr.. Lotus, the independence Dem
ocratic representative of the First
ward, was present. as was Richard
Sheridan DemocraD who will succeed
the Nineteenth ward. The Democratic
gain by Mr.. Sheridan's election is OFF,
set by the election of a Republican,
David Reese. to succeed Mr.. Lotus
from the First ward.
There are several views as to how
the situation will be in consequence of
common councils sine die adjourn
ment Thursday night. Some contend
a;
illegal, common council is bound to
meet as requested by law Monday
morning and reject or approve the
amendments made to the 1897 ordin-
ance by select council: failing in this
the ordinance should be acted upon by
the Republican members. as they will
then constitute the whole body, the
Democrats having legislated them
selves out of office. Others say tina {.
no business can be considered unless
at least eleven out of twenty-one men,
bers are present. In that case, the
city would be without any authorized
expenditure of money.
1t is held by some that no appropria-
tlons can be made for 1897 except by a
separate ordinance for each of the
more than 200 items necessary. That
view, however, is only of extremists.
Correctly, no 1897 appropriations can
be made by the current ordinance.
which was amended in the upper
branch. If common council fails to
meet. a new ordinance will have to be
created by the reorganized councils
by the same process as was the one
which has caused so much trouble. BY
meeting frequently the ordinance could
be passed within a month if the two
branches would agree upon each 9TH
er's amendments. There is now no in
dication of any agreement, and it
looks to be a case of indefinite dead
lock-
Meanwhile, the city must do without
finances, excepting as provided by, spe-
cial ordinances for current necessary
expenses
