Bankers Leave on Special Car for Richmond
to Play Battle Axe Club.

the team wiV leave on the special car
al l2:01 p. m.
Chris. Feinle is slated to twirl against
the Battle Axe team, and he should win
his game with ease. -Boehling, the crack
southpaw. of the Richmond champs,
more than likely will work against the
Maryland Athletic Cub, which plays the
first game of the double-header. and that
will send Strain, a right handler, to the
mound in the second fray. The re-
mainder of the team will line up the
same as usual The boys have had
good rest the past week, and are in the
best of shape.
The Baltimore team VIII present prac-
tically the same lineup, although should
Tai Pendleton. the crack Princeton
shortstop and football star. be able to
play. he will take Dooley's place in
short. That is the only change in either
lineup that is contemplated at the pres
ent time.
From the games played here Labor
Day the Maryland A. c. will be the
team that the Bankers will have 20 beat
for the intercIty title. and not the Bat
tie Axe club. The Baltimore lads can
hit. run the bases, and field. The Rich
mond team put up a good game in the
field. but they were weak with the
stick So the game in Baltimore next
Saturday between the Bankers and the
Maryland A. c. will just about decide
the championship. Should there be a
tie, the deciding game for the title will
be played on neutral territory.
There is great deal of interest in
the game to-day at Capital City League
Park between the Cornell Tigers and
the Lynchburg club of the Virginia
League. Manager Cornell will have Cur
ley Brown, the former sandlot star OF
Washington. in short field for him. while
the rest OF the team will be about the
same. Al Handiboe will not be able to
play. as he will hold down right field
for the Yankees against the Nationals.

taking away from the Germans the right
to maintain their parochial schools with
reference to scholars over L years of age
and which was prevented by reason OF the
fact that subOFgapizatlon of the Ma
tional German alliance was on the ground

OF an argument why the Germans of all
dialects and provinces should be organized
into a bund as well as retaining their own
distinct organizations.

of nativsm, was not the only or the thing

James R, Porter,
Nebraska Pioneer,
Dead at Haigler
He Was Democratic andidate for
Governor in 1858 Against David
Butler-Lived at Plattsmouth.

BENKLEMAN, Neb., March 6-(Spe-
cial.)--James r. Porter Of Haigler, died
Sunday morning. March 8. Of old age.
He was SO years of age last February,
was a pioneer Of Nebraska and had been
in the mercantile business at Haigler
since 1852. He leaves a widow and sew
eral children. The funeral will be held
at Haigler Tuesday afternoon and inter-
ment made in the family plot there.
Mr.. Porter came to Nebraska in April,
1856, landing at Plattsmouth after crossing
the river in flatboat. He attended the
first democrats convention held I'm the
state. II was held in Plattsmouth in 1859
and was composed for the most part OF
Buchanan appointees. Mr.. Porter was
a Douglas democrat The Buchanan men
wanted to endorse all Of the acts of
Buchanan, but Mr.. Porter. aided by few
others. strongly opposed this and put
up hard fight, and as a compromise the
convention only endorsed the Buchanan
administration. Even this was more than
Mr.. Porter favored, but it was the best
that could be done. In 1868 Mr.. Porter was
the democratic candidate for governor
against David Butler, and he was defeated
by about $500 votes.
IN the carry uugH ElhNNHANouNu was
quite an important place, especially for
those engaged, as was Mr.. Porter, in the
freightlng business. Mr.. Porter had
freighting outfit and transported supplies
from the river to Plattsmouth along the
river to Fort Laramie, Denver and Salt
Lake. In 1867 at the point where Fort
Fetterman was afterwards located, he
was made a prisoner by the Indians for
twenty-three days and lost two men
an da hundred head Of cattle. little
later he lost So 900 worth OF property
near the same place. the Indians burn
ing his wagons stock and cattle. At that
time he had a contract to furnish large
supply Of wood, $50 he came back to the
river and borrowed enough money to get
a new outfit and went back and filled
his contract. He put in a claim with the
government for the property that was de-
stroyed, but It had never received any
attention.
About all of the old frelghters that Mr..
Porter knew, and all of the men who
were active with him are now gone.
George w. Doane and Judge Wakeley Of
Omaha and DR.. George L. Miller, who
were prominent in the early days, were
friends Of his early life in Nebraska. All
Of these are living, but they are about
the last.

MASCAGNI AND S0NZOGNA
WIN FROM LIEBLER & co.
Decision Generally FRvOrs Plaintiff,
But Court Says Composer Was
Too ExactinE.

MILAN Italy, March 6.-The decision OF
the civil tribunal which heard the case Of
Mascagni the composer, and SOnzogna
the publisher OF "Ysobel" against Liebler
& Co. OF New York, was announced today

Liebler & Co. are convicted OF contempt
OF court and judged to be at fault in the
breaking Of a contract with Mascagni. The
New Workers are condemned to pay dam
ages in the sum OF 5000 10 sonzogna and
the costs OF the trial. Mascagni is def
nitely assigned the $4,000 already received
from the defendants, but the court refuses
his application for an additional 5000.
