Nashville, July 2.—The Nashvilles cele brated their return home by an overwhelm ing defeat at the hands of Memphis to-day. The audience was small, the game uninter esting, and ttio result unsatisfactory to everybody hut the Memphians. Umpire Suck gave ono very tough decision that gave the visitors two mint, but the locals were beaten away out of sight anyway. Smith carried oft' the honors of the day, being hit safely but four times, and he was well supported. The visitors worked as one man and played to win from the start, while the locals seemed to lose heart at the loginning. Defeat was not so astonishing, but to be shut out disgusted everybody. There will be an attempt to play two games Monday. Tfife innings were: Nashville 000000000—0 Memphis. .03102010 *—7 Batteries -Nashville : Gibson and Hayes; Memphis: Smith and Grotty.

They Deny That They Were Engaged in an Assault—The Lumbermens’ As sociation Repudiated by the Well known Organizations—The Strikers Not Wanted Back at Work-New Men in their Places. The striking longshoremen were quiet yes terday, spending most of their time at home or in meeting. They are still standing out for their demands, and are determined not to go to work until they get what they ask for. They have < -arried the matter so far, how ever, that they will probably not go back to work at all. The merchants do not svant them, and are doing so well without them that it is doubtful if they would permit them to go back even if they should so desire. THE POLICE ON DUTY. Yesterday morning two jxilicemen made a trip to the wharves, but finding that everything was quiet, they reported that the squad which was on duty the day before need not be called out. The men were on hand attending to their labors without in terruption. The vessels were in no wise in convenienced, for there were more men asking for work than could be employed, and had the strikers been there seeking to return they would only have been in the way. The}* have given up their positions and quit, and now they will have to seek occupations elsewhere. The new men are not as familiar with the loading of vessels as were the old ones, of course, but they learn their duties readily and work much harder than do the negroes who constitute the association. THE STRIKERS NOT RECOGNIZED. The members of the old and known as sociations of longshoremen have notified the lumber merchants that they do not recognize, nor are they backing the new organization. They say that it is composed of the class of negroes that drift from one point to another and never settle down to steady work anywhere. The association was formed about three months ago and has done nothing since but breed disturb ance. One of the merchants said yesterday that if the men had asked for an advance of 10 or 15 per cent, they might have received it, but when it came to 100 per cent, it was more than they could stand, and more than they intended "to stand. The wharves will lie kept under the eye of the police until the strikers have given up the fight, but no further trouble is anticipated, as they understand now that the merchants will take no chances, but will call on the law for protection whenever it is needed. The strikers claim that none of the members of the Lumbermen’s Association were in tlie crowd that assembled to attack the work men on Bilbo canal bridge, but the state ment is received as similar averments which are invariably made by strikers whenever disorderly crowds assemble. Local Personal. Prof, and Mrs. Leo. W. Mehrtens will leave this afternoon on the steamer Chatta hoochee for New York, whence they will sail for Europe next week. Mrs. Mehrtens will visit the principal musical conservato ries on the continent, and, with her hus band, will spend several months in studying under German masters. Mr. Thomas F. McCabe, who was with Robert Downing in the “Gladiator” last sea son, has received a very flattering offer for a renewal of his engagement for the coming season. Mr. McCabe is a talented actor, and Manager Mack will secure a good man if Mr. McCabe engages with him. Mr. Mc- Cabe has made many friends in Savannah during the short time he has been with the Fords. William Kehoe, Esq., and Patrick O’Con nor, Esq., will leave for Ireland this after noon, via New York, on the steamship Chattahoochee, and will be absent about two months. Mr. Kehoe has spent thirty seven summers in Savannah, and Mr. O’Connor thirty-three. Both gentlemen having been hard workers, and having been successful in business they feel that they are entitled to a recreation. They will take with them the best wishes of the commu nity of which they are honored citizens for a pleasant voyage and a safe return. Among the arrivals at the Pulaski House yesterday were W. R.
