MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF LITTLE ROCK.
Little Rock, Ark, April 20, 1861.
At a meeting of the city council
held this morning. the following reso-
lutions were adopted
Resolved, That the council are
gratined b. the marks Of confidence
and reliance manifested toward them
by his excellency the governor.
That the council recommend to
the governor to comply with the re-
quest of the committee from the city
authorities of Memphis, Messrs. Mar.
tin. Moon and Edmonson, to furnish
Memphis with four pieces of medium
ordinance. upon their pledge that the
same shall be returned in good order
and at the expense of Memphis, when
ever the governor may, in his dis
erection, request it to be done.
That in the opinion of this council
the existing state of affairs in our
country manifests the long-settled
policy of the leaders at the North in
the abandonment of the navy yard at
Memphis, to keep the people of the
South, as far as possible, deprived Of
arms and munitions Of war; and
proves the wise forecast OF Leuten-
ant Maury. who predicted the i'm
portance OF Memphis as an inland
depot for naval stores, the manufac-
ture of arms, and the construction OF
iron vessels of war; and that the
state of Tennessee owes it to herself
and her sister states of the South to
do all in her power 10 restore tho
navy yard and arsenal to the uses
for which it was originally intended

BASEBALL ANECDOTES
By Billy Evans.

No pitcher ever gave umpires
less trouble than Bill Dinee1,
when he was star of the Boston
team. Occasionally Bill thought
the umpire missed a decision, but
madesknown his belief in a gentle
manly manner. Bills favorite, in
fact only expression, used to ex-
press his belief that the umpire
erred was:
'Why was if striker "Why
was it ball?" "Why was the
runner out9', "Why was the run
ner safer" The umpire always
gave Bill his reasons for so decid-
ing, and ended the discussion.
Dlneen broke in as an umpire as
my partner. He had really never
done any umpiring, to speak of,
and l was interested to see how
he would act when some player
took him to task.
Bill started near the close OF
1909, when the race was over.
Always popular, the veterans
were pulling for him to succeed,
and not protest was made by
them. 1t was a recruit, fresh
from the bushes, who gave Bill
his taste of argument between
player and umpire.
The youngster had been a
pitching sensation in the minors,
and success had turned his head
bit. Early in the game he be-
gan to take exceptions to Di-
mems ruling. To express his
disapproval he remarked.
SO you were pitcher once?"
: eyes, and all l did was pitch.

persisted the youngster.
Il had more when I quit than
you have now," answered Dineen.
Good umpires realize that
there are corners on the plate"
fired back the youngster, after
Dineen had walked two men in
succession. The recruit did not
relish being worsted for he had
the goat of all the umpires in the
league he hailed from. I was en-
joying the affair immensely.
Good pitchers never look for.
the corners" was Dineen's come
back. During the remainder of
the game the kid let Dineen alone.
Bill was prouder of winning that
argument than over any victory
he ever pitched.

DIAZ TROOPS SLAY FAMILY
,5oo,ooo-Forty Federals Killed
In Battle.

Galveston, Tex.-Reports of the
massacre of an entire family of in
surrectos in Pueblo, State of Pueblo,
Mexico, and seizure of $1,500,000 gold,
were brought here Monday on a
steamer from Frontera, Mexico.
Passengers said that recently the
government, upon information that
Aguiles Salano, a prominent Pueblo
merchant, was acting as a treasurer
for insurrectos, sent troops with a
machine gun to his house. They took
possession. but found the place ap-
parently deserted.
Finally a secret cellar Is said to
have been discovered where Salano
and his family were hiding. All sur
rendered, whereupon, 1t is alleged,
the troops Immediately shot the en-
tire family to death. Search of the
premises is said to have revealed
more than $I,500,0O0 in gold and ne
gotiable securities.
Delayed advices received here Mon
day clear up suspense over results of
the fighting between insurrectos and
federals around Mulata. Word re-
ceived the middle of last week told
of federal reverses in an assault up
on rebel lines at Mulata. News r.
ceived here says the tide of b. q
remained the same, with the result
that the federals retreated to Ojinaga,
their base of supplies. The insurrec-
tos were unable to check General
Luque's retreat Their supply of am
munition was exhausted. The federal
loss was 40 killed and wounded.
