RAILROAD POLITICS.
Gould Lines DIckerine for an Outlet to
 Atlantic Seaboard.

New York, June 1.-The Mail and Ex- press has the following:
 It was stated today on semi-ofiicial au- thority that the two matters which will be taken up by the Missouri Pacific di- rectors at the special meeting next Mon day are the declaration of dividend and the final settlement of the terms on which the Texas Pacific Is to be absorbed by the Missouri Pacific.
 Another question of importance to the Gould lines a whole is expected to be settled within a few days. It concerns the proposed Wabash and Wheeling ex tension into Pittsburg and an outlet to tide water. MT. Gould has had further conferences with the Pennsylvania Rail road officials.
 MT. Gould's ultimatum will proba bly, be that he will build the Pittsburg line, thereby getting an entrance into the val uable mining regions. but he will agree to enter into a traffic arrangement with the Pennsylvania Railroad for his southern outlets to the seaboard, instead of building tn Baltimore. as he intend- ed to do Mir Gould will insist on re- ceiving from tho Pennsylvania Railroad large share of the Pennsylvania west bound tonnage. The latter, it Is thought, F is disposed to turn over much of it's traf- flo inasmuch as the Burlington, with WHicn IL 1Or1nerly eNcnanBeu great ueal of business. has become Morgan-Hi road. and will send much traffic by other routes
 ''The Missouri Pacific system, including the Wabash. can give the Pennsylvania all the facilities it needs for western and southwestern business, and beyond the points touched by the Gould lines traffic will be turned over to the Union and Southern Pacific, in which Mir. Gould is influential" "

Birmingham presented a crippled team yesterday afternoon and lost the first, game of the series to New Orleans by the score of 4 to 1.
 Tom Gettinger the great sun fielder of the locals. has typhoid fever and for that reason was out of the game. He has been sick the past two weeks, but continued to play until last Tuesday, since which time he has been confined to his room at the Thompson House. He will be taken to a hospital this morning where 1t Is hoped he will soon recover under the care full treatment he will receive there
 The absence of Gettinger materially weakens the team both in fielding and batting.
 Manager Mills ptesented Brandt and Sullivan as his battery combination yes terua and barring his will1nss in first two or three innings the former pitched a magnificent game. Sullivan, however, was weak and allowed the visitors to steal bases at will.
 Had Brandt received the support ac- corded From he would have won his game as every Pelican that scored crossed the plate after a chance had been offered to retire the side. The records of the two pitchers Is as follows; Brandt gave six men bases on balls, hit one man with pitched ball, struck out seven men and yielded up but five hits. From gave eight men bases on balls. struck out six men and yielded up six hits. Brandt had one wild pitch and From three.
 During the first two or three innings the locals played listless game and 1t was here that the visitors got the runs that eventually gave them the victory. After New Orleans had taken a com manding lead, however, they braced up and played beautiful game.
 Umpire Ebright came in for a share of the roasting on his bad decisions, all though the defeat of the locals cannot be charged up to him this time as 1t was on Wednesday. MT. Ebright has been mis- erable failure as an umpire the last four or five games and the fans are anxious for change.
 The locals made their only run in the | first inning on a base on balls and two 1 wild pitches by From. After that they were never able to get man across the home plate, although they had the bases 1 filled in two innings and two men on bases in two or three innings. l After Moss had retired on a fly to cen l ter in the first, Veitch walked. was ad- vanced to second on, Leidy's single to short and scored on two wild pitches, Leidy going to third. Gillen struck out, | LaRocque retired on a foul fly to Abbott. l After that From settled down and l pitched great game. his work being es- | peciaily fine when the bases were oc- | cupied
 l The visitors made two runs in the I first inning Gilligan, first up, walked Rlaloney fouled out and Abbott retired | from second to first Gilligan going to | second. Herbert was given his base, stole second, and Hoffmeister brought both home with two-bagger to center. Dowie retired the side with fly to center.
 In the second Meyer scored on his base 1 on balls, McDivitts out at first, wild 1 throw by Sullivan. and From's single.
 The visitors made their last run in the fourth on McDivitts' base on balls
 stolen base and Mills error. The score.

Diamond Notes.

Of the delegates present to attend the quarterly meeting of the Southern League at the Hotel Morris this forenoon Mana ger Frank is here from Memphis, Direct or Hardin from Chattanooga, Secretary Perry comes over in Little Rocks inter- est and Director Shannon is here from Nashville. Powell and Mills appear for their own clubs and Frank of Memphis votes as Selmas proxy. Manager Reed of Shreveport got in late last night.
 All the visiting magnates occupied seats in the grandstand behind the home play CTS bench and as a matter of courtesy rooted for them, but Powelrs adjutant, Nolan, was "agin' them and had the best of the argument.
 A Chattanooga business man is here trying to persuade Hardin and the league to sell that franchise to himself and other moneyed parties.
 The Western Union has offered to fur nish scores by innings of all other games to clubs at home on their grounds for the sum of 80 day each, but the propo- sition Is not favorably taken.
 Big sham Meyers. first baseman of the Pelicans, began his professional ca reer here as a catcher in 1892, but his en- gagement was too limited for even the old-timers to remember him. Meyers, telling of the experience here, yesterday, says the first chance he had behind the bat someone knocked up a foul ball that he staggered around and tried to catch and 1t went through his uplifted paws and nearly knocked his brains out. Then the club 'canned" him.
 Freeland, who goes in the box for New Orleans this afternoon. Is said to be an even harder proposition than From.
 No matter how good an umpire may be he sometimes wears his welcome out MT. Ebright is no exception to the rule
 Powell expects star twirler to join him at Selma.
 The handicap of Gettingers absence has a decidedly weakening effect on Mills men. His hitting and value as a sun fielder Is missed.
 Such pitching as Brandt did yesterday will seldom lose with the team in shape Mills has two out fielders and another catcher coming. He is forced to get an- other man in the place of Gettinger. who, if he really has typhoid fever will be out of the game for the balance of the sea- son.
