OF course, this is not true.
Third Baseman Charley Breath, of
the Merchants, did not hit home run
in the game, but says wait for the re-
turn game, as he has been practicing
with his two-year old son.
Third Baseman Gardebled, OF the
Bankers, has also been practicirg bat
ting them out in the city court, while
Bob Murtagh was pitching the victims.
Another feature of the game was Out
fielder Fricke's forgetting that he should
be out in the field when his side was out,
he claiming that all he wanted was TO
slug, and send peerless Gex to drinking.
The run for fly by Outfielder Muir
tagh of i10 yards was beautiful to be-
hold, but, by mistake, Murtagh ran in
instead of out. II he had run out, the
batter would not have gotten to first.
The last game was 8 to 2, won by the
Bankers in the ninth inning. Two
years ago the Bankers defeated the
same team, with the same pitchers, by
the score of 13 to IL. The game was
won in the ninth inning.

OF the Congressional Record fixed up
for campaign use. Mr.. Barber also in
cidentally referred to J. r. Talley, of
Hattiesburg, as second assistant Con-
gressman, ]. H. Neville being clas.ed as
first assistant to Congressman Bowers.
This brought the first discussion of the
day, when Mr.. Talley arose to say that
if Mr.. Barber wanted to draw him into
the debate he was ready to meet him at
any time he might fix. When Mr.. Bow
ers arose for his rejoinder he proceeded
calmly enough until he said: 81 want
to denounce the covert suggestion that
l have brought here doctored copies OF
the Congressional Record as malicious
ly false" Immediately Mr.. Barber
leaped for large courthouse cuspidor
and had about got it poised to throw
when he was seized by Sheriff Magruder,
District Attorney McLaurin and others
in the vicinity. Mr.. Bowers proceeded
to shout at the top Of his voice, so as to
be heard above the prevailing pande-
monium: 81 want to denounce any
copies of the Congressional Record pur-
porting to show different state of facts
from those have presented as malicious
ly false" By this time Mr.. Barber had
broken away from bis captors and rushed
at the speakers stand. He was reached
by outstretched hands just as he got to
| Bowers, who left the stand after finally
declaring: "I want to denounce as will
fully and maliciously false the assertion
| that there is in existence any document
that will show that have not been true
to my duty as a congressman"
Later Mr.. Barber got the stand and
said the end was not yet, for he would
week hence produce the document re-
ferred to by MIR. Bowers and which
would squelch his prospects for re-elec-
ton. The document referred to is one
| which Mr.. Barber threatened to use
earlier in the campaign, and which Mr..
Bowers challenged him to produce. In
the course of today's speaking Mr.. Bar
ber said he would produce the document
one week hence at Gulfport, land that if he
did not show that Mr.. Bowers had been
unfaithful to his trust as congressman,
| he (Barber) would withdraw from the
race.

CLASH IN CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Hattiesburg, Miss, June 15.-The
joint debate in the court room in this
city this afternoon between Eaton j.
Bowers, of Bay st. Louis, and E. M.
Barber, of Biloxi, rival candidates for
Congress, wound up in sensational dis
turbance, with Mr.. Bowers in the judges
bench denouncing his opponents state
ments as wilfully and maliciously false,
with Mr.. Barber making desperate efforts
to hurl cuspidor at his rival, and with
the sheriff and other bystanders exerting
themselves to prevent physical violence.
The debate was listened to by an audi
ence that could scarcely find standing
room in the court room, for the gentle
men had been canvassing the district to-
gether and brought the campaign to a
stage of considerable heat. The division
of time was an hour and half for each
speaker, with twenty minutes each for
rejoinder, Mr.. Barber opening the dis
cussion. The main speeches of both
WCiO SOIoUOtOo WILL tIOuUtcs Nuis Odl-
Der devoted most of his time to discus
sion of the Gulf and Ship Island railroad
and its activities in politics, saying in
effect that Mr.. Bowers was still identi-
fed with the road in sentiment, if not in
fact. Mr.. Barber also presented copies
of the Congressional Record purporting
to show that on certain measures passing
in Congress Mr.. Bowers had been pres
ent in the house and failed to vote.
In his reply Mr.. Bowers presented
other copies OF the Congressional Rec
ord showing that on these measures he
had voted with his Democratic coll
leagues. Mr.. Bowers also recalled to
Mr.. Barber and to the audience that he
promised to produce at an early date a
document which Mr.. Barber had said
would show Mr.. Bowers had been untrue
to his duties as congressman. Mr..
Bowers demanded that Mr.. Barber pro-
duce his evidence. In his rejoinder Mr..
Barber said he could not understand how
it was that his copies of the Congress
sional Record differed from those carried
by Mr.. Bowers unless there was some
way the Congressman had to get copies

ssFoR FEEDING MERRY co ROUND HORSES.
L. & N. Railroad Agent at New Orleans Makes
Usual Charge, Though Animals Are of Wood
and Know Not Oats From Breakfast Fsod.

When Michael Murphy received bill
from the Louisville 8; Nashville Rail-
road for So for one meal for carload OF
flying horses used in merry-go-rounds,
consigned from Jennings, La, to Mo-
bile, Ala, his Irish blood went hot.
James F. Murdy, agent at New Orleans
for the railroad, sent Murphy the bill
along with statement for cost of trans.
portation. Wired Murphy to Murdy:
"Food for flying horses, is itP Was
it ice cream or hay? I'll have the in
terstate commerce commission down
on vel"
Wired Murdy to Murphy, in all seri-
BUSINESS:
"Horses is horses, be they flying OF
running. Louisiana laws protect AMI
mails from cruelty and provide SO for
one square meal to carload. Your
animals were in New Orleans one day.
Please remit"
Murphy's reply indicated his opinion
of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
in particular and all lines in general,
and limited of eternal punishment here
after.
Murdy, in the course of time, after he
had collected his So, began an investi-
cation. The Southern Pacific brought
the car to Algiers, La, from Jennings,
and the clerk at Algiers, in transferring
the shipment to the Louisville &: Nash
vile, changed the character of the
horses in the bill of lading, so that when
Murdy saw the document it was plain
"horses", with no wings. Naturally,
Murdy, obeying the laws of humanity,
ordered the horses around to the rail-
road feed pens. There the crew saw the
mistake, smiled, resealed the car and
sent it on to Mobile.
Murphy got back his So, but Murdy
says the Irishman has less sense of hu-
NOR than any shipper he has encoun-
tered in his thirty years of railroad ex-
nerienca

FANS FOOD.

The features of the game were the
drive of Outfielder Gordon, in the ninth
inning, which, by the way, decided the
game. and the slide by outfielder be-
tween first and second base.
Blank Turner pitched good game,
but his curves without support could
not win the game.
w. J. Gex pitched good game, be-
cause two hours before the game he was
seen having his arm rubbed with anti
ss,ptic. Moral:-Have your arm rubbed

A conversation was overheard over
