A Slight Breeze.

The man who lived in Canada,
says Judge, opened the store door,
and gust of wind almost blew
out the LAMPS.
"Shat it, quick!" yelled the
storekeeper, making a grab for
the wrapping paper.
The man pushed the door
half open and surveyed the crowd
in disgusted surprise. Then he
carefully shut the door and took
seat as Var from the crack in
the wall as possible.
"Sho' it's windyp' said the
town marshal. "Don't reckon

citation is now being held in this
city. All of yesterday morning
and part of last evening was
consumed in addresses, organiza.
tion and the formulation of suita
BILE resolutions to submit to the
general assembly. Remarks on
the work being done in many of
the counties were made ut the
evening session by the supervisors
present.
An address of welcome was
made by Hon. Francis H. Wes-
ton and Governor Hayward then
spoke for few minutes in an en-
thuslastic manner upon the pur-
poses of the convention and the
subject with which it was dealing.
Governor Hayward believes that
the success of the movement can
be accomplished through taxation
and by the bond system. He as
sured the members that he would
heartily render them any aid in
his power.
Mr.. F. H. Hyatt, the president
of the association, then addressed
the meeting chiefly upon the
Brownlow bill recently introduced
in congress providing for nation
al appropriation for the good
roads movement.
A committee of five was ap-
pointed for the purpose of draw
ing up suitable resolutions and
memorials to be submitted to the
legislature.
The convention then took q re-
cess until 1880 O'Clock last even
ing when the resolutions prepared
by the committee were submitted
and discussed. The resolutions
as adopted read as follows:
Whereas the development of
the resources and industries and
the advancement of the highest
civilization of this State largely
depend upon the facilities for in
tercourse and transportation, and
Whereas the constantly increas-
ing service imposed upon the
highways renders them extremel y
difficult Of travel, the improve
mont OF these highways becomes
an imperative necessity for which
the present statutory provisions
are lamentably inadequate, there.

WILL HAVE RAILROAD
LINE TO CONNECT BIRMINGHAM
 AND HUNTSVILLE.
Men Behind the Enterprise Have Ample Capital, It is Said, and Will Not Wait on
 the L. & N.

Huntsville, May H.-(Special )-More details concerning the movement to build a railroad from this city to Birmingham have been given to the public. The pur- pose of the men back of the enterprise is to procure a charter in New Jersey, organize and incorporate d company to build and operate a road from here to Birmingham regardless of any Oneonta or other connection.
 For a year or more it has been thought the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Railroad would complete that branch from Oneonta to Huntsville or be con- nected with any movement for that pur- pose, but that idea is abandoned, and while no particulars can be obtained, it is believed that one of the other great systems not as yet mentioned in connec- ton with a railroad to Birmingham is backing the men undertaking this pres ent movement for 1t is evident that ample capital is assured for the con- struction and operation of the road. Connections north and south of Hunts vile in the railroad line is evidently in the air and will be made apparent in the future though now unseen and not at all believed.

Strike Threatened in Plants of Edi-

Newark. N. J.. May 25.-A strike which @ likely to affect thousands of employees zn the plants of the Edison General Elec- trio Company throughout the country is on at the Harrison factory of that con,i cern. About 24OO hands are employed there
 There are only forty of the strikers, but they are machinists and their absence from their posts has crippled the work of the factory. Because of the strike about 500 girl employees have become idle and others may be forced to quit because they have nothing to do It is thought the strike may extend to khe company's Fort Wayne factory. where there are about 800 employees; the hynn plant, which employs 5000 hands,
 the main works at Schenectady,
 Ire the total number of employees is
 It 12000, and the machinists number

 By the decidedly uncomfortable score of 2 and I. the Black 5ox took the last game rom shreveport. making it two out of a series of three games
 Louis Polchow pitched a splendid game Of ball, only five scattered hits being made of him. He struck out seven men one of his five bases on balls was respon- sible for the only score made by the visitors.
 At every stage of the game Polchow was cool and steady. pulling himself out of several ugly looking holes. He fielded his position in great style getting four assists, one Of them probably saving the with the exception of an unfortunate throw of Kid Busch-which Polchow say ca for him-would have been perfect.
 Snreveport playei championship tsll ana the fans realized that they had been 10 sure enough baseball game.
 Chflds lined out a safe one, got around to second on Kanxlfer's neat sacrifice started to steal third and was called out on what loked like questionable decision or Umpire Carpenter. Molesworth walked and scored on Whistler's drive for two bags.
 spratt drove one at Smith in the second and was safe on the wild throw, going to second on Ciark's sacrifice and scoring on Polchow's safe hit.
 The usual fast double of the Black Sox came in the last half, Polchow starting 1t this time. With one down Weikhart hit safe and Bobby Gfllks drove a hot one to Polchow, the pitcher scooped 1t up, threw 1t to Kid Busch who had covered second and nailed Weikhart, Busch firing it to Whistler in time to get Gilks.
 Nothing more was. done until the last half of the sixth when Smith walked, ad- vanccd on Hennessey's sacrifice and tal- lied on Norcum's two-bagger.
 The fans had a severe case of heart disease in the last of the ninth and it will take a good long time for several of them to recover from the fright With only one run needed to tie the score and two to win out Kid Busch made a wild throw of Bick's hit the runner going to second. Polchow saved the day and won his own game by getting WeIkhart's hit and throwing Bck out at third. Then Bobby Gflks surprised everybody by lin- ing out a safe hit, numbers of hearts get ting into their owners throats. Stickney got Keenan's fly and with two down things loked decidedly brighter. The agony was intensified, however when Graffius walked With Weikhart, on second 6 safe hit would have tied the score. Swaun, the poorest hitter in the bunch, was up but just as was expected Gilks sent the heavy hitting Fisher to bat in his place.
 '..All over now came the half cry, half sob from all parts of the grounds. There was a crash, the ball went straight into the air, Whistler pulled 1t down, the side was out, the Black Sox had the game and the fans were happy once more.
