 Cordova, May -5. The active life of Cordova was transferred yesterday to Mile 15, where a question was settled, for the time being, that was of far greater import than even the loca- tion of the government railroads the superior abilities on the ball diamond of the playing qualities of "Corser's hids" or "Michaelson's Kids" For a week past the ques- tion was argued pro and con and it was decided to hie themselves to field of battle and fight out the vexed question. Accordingly the two teams, accompanied by 150 town people, repaired to the railway station yesterday afternoon and boarded waiting train, determined to be eye witnesses to the culmina- tion of very momentous affair. A drizzling rain soon set in and when Mile 9 was reached it was found that the ball ground was not in proper condition to test the abih- ties of these professionals, past and future. So Superintendent Corser gave the order to move on, deter mined to go to Chitina, if necessary to find a suitable debating ground. l But when Mile 15 was reached a field of dry gravel soil appealed to the old socks, so the coaches were unloaded and soon the merry war was on, after selecting the proper referees. Curley Hickman, Harry Kerr and M. A. Redfield were the umpires and Clark Byers the official scorer. An impatient throng cried 1 play ball." and for the next two hours there was something doing every minute.

Passengers, frieght and mail will go out. Re- pairs have been made to the bridge at Flag Point and the trestle at Mile 94, and everything will be in readiness tonight for the train to pass over on Tuesday. It is ex- pected to complete the repairs to the bridge at Chitina by the end of the week, so that train for Kennecott can pass over on Sunday morning. Some Cordova citizens have re- tained Attorney Thos. Donohoe to secure. ruling on the legality of employing members of the city coun- cil to perform service for the city. It 1 is said that test case will be made against Councilman Goodall, who was employed to superintend the construction of bulkhead on First street. Certified copies of the council records concerning this par ticular work were sent to Valdez on the steamer last night and Attorney Donohe will now prepare his papers ! to secure from the court a temporary restraining order to prevent the council from making payment to MT. Goodall for services performed. If l this be granted a date would be fixed when both sides would be repre- sented and the question heard on it's merits, when Judge Brown would either dismiss the temporary order or make it permanent.
