BALTIMORE, July 25.-The Orioles and
Broncos played a tie game yesterday, the
umpire calling the game on account of
darkness. although 1t was light enough to
play several innings more. The game was
characteristic for poor work by the pitch
ers of both clubs. the locals using three
and the visitors two twirlers. The contest,
however. was interesting from start to
finish. First one team would take the
lead. but, only for an inning, when the
other would tie the score or forge ahead.
Both clubs lost several opportunities to
score by poor work on the bases. The

TRYING the Wronu Man.

An unusual verdict was rendered by
the jury In a case tried in a California
town a good many years ago. The
question was as to the ownership of
several head of cattle which the de.
PENDANT was accused of having stolen
from the plaintiff. AS the case pro
ceeded and different witnesses gave
their evidence, it became apparent to
all listeners that the defendant was an
innocent man. When it came time
for the jury to retire to consider their
verdict, they did so, but returned to
the courtroom in few moments.
The foreman looked the judge straight
in the eye and said with drawl and
twang which betrayed his New Eng.
land origin:
"Jcdge, we find the plaintiff guilty"
''The court is not trying the plain.
tiff, but the defendant" said his honor
hastily, and the matter being explain
ed, the foreman was at length induced
to express the jury's opinion that the
defendant was not guilty.
"Howsomever," added the foreman
solemnly, "'pears to me we're con-
sidering the wrong man, your honor"
