the AMEKICDS DAILY TDIES-RECOltPER: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST •">, iSOl. GREAT GAME OF BALL. THE LEGAL LUMINARIES WIPED OUT OF SIGHT. The Score *0 to 13 In Favor of tho "Cft.il Shouter*—Qreftt Bejoleln* A .none the Citizen*—All Court* to Be CIo*ed for a Week tor Obvlou* Beaton*. From the time when Columbus first started In to do business with the gentle savage on these shores, some 400 years ago, until the present day, there is at ways great rejoicing among the masses of the people when lawyers are “downed” In any undertaking they set out to accomplish. The reason of this is plain. Columbus was the first bar rister that ever struck these shores, and he started in at once by reading law to Ur. Lo, and charging him an entire con tinent for one speech, of which the un tutored savage didn't understand a word. And so it has continued until the present day. Tho example of Colnmbhs is followed as closely as possible by this < glaae of gverjr community, and they never fall to “scoop i“” anything within reach that they fancy. But yesterday proved a IVatctloo for these owners of the earth. They met the citizens on a fair field, where “May it please your honor” didn’t count for a cent, and the result is they wore out- batted, outfielded, outrun, and generally discounted by the emphatic score of 30 to 13. It is Impossible to give a detailed report of the great game. From start to finish the earth was dug up, the air fanned, spectators struck with the ball, and horses and cattle in tho vicinity frightened by the clamor of the contest ants. The prominent feature of the first In ning was the performance of Lawyer Bass. He seized the bat with his left duke as If he intended to bang the stuf fin’ out of the ball at the first whack. His first strike in the air turned his body half way round, and he nearly lost his balance. Recovering himself, he waited for the next ball, almost bending down to his work, and let her drive again—the second time into the air. Hit third effort was stupendous; and when be banged the air a third time, and the umpire called “three strikes,” Ur. Bass dropped the bat and made for the first base with the velocity of a scared mule. And he got them, too. But imagine Mr. Bass’disgust when he was told that that sort of “ball” might do in Kalamazoo or Timbuctoo, but it didn’t count here. Mr. Boss took a seat on the grass amid tremendous applause. This inning ended In favor of the law yers—3 t > 2. After which thoy wero ■ not in it. Tho second inning was noticeable for a wild throw of Citizen Pitcher Cain, Lawyer Maynard fanning the air, and' Lawyer Bass making a run. This feat on the part of Lawyer Bass so astonlshod the players and spectators that the gamo was stopped to congratulate him. Ho was about to start in to make a speech, thanking the multitude, when the um pire choked him off with “Play ball!” This innings resulted—-Citizens, 2; Lawyers, 1. The third Inning brought out Citizen Haynes as a batter from wayback, when he shot the leather jsky ward for a three- bagger. Brother Bass got in his usual work on the air in this inning, and re tired rather erestfallen. The crowd that made the welkin ring In his honor only a few minutes before were now shouting “Crucify him 1 Crucify him 1" This Inning was a stand off—2 runs each. The fourth inning was a hummer. The inning had progressed peaceably until the tbird Citizen claimed that he had touched first base before the ball got there. This was denied by the Law yers. Then there was a bowl and a gen eral rush for the umpire. Lawyers, Citizens, Africans, dogs and umpire got all mixed up, and a game of “ehln- chinee" ensned, in wbioh the lawyers, of course, got the best of it, and squeezed a decision in their favor out of the umpire. The Citizens were declared out At this juncture several ladles got frightened and moved off the field out of danger. Score—Citizens, 3; Lawyers, 2. The fifth was a lively inning, and en tlrely in favor of the Citizens. Nothing of special note occurred until TanRlper faced the pitcher. After having one ball called on him, he oaught the second ono that came his way a side-swipe whieh landed it kerchunk In the African reserved seat section, knocking a color ed brother clean off his pins. This was the first knock out of the gamo, and VanBIper received an ovation. This was soon followed by Citizen Cain and Lawyer Kimbrough rushing into each other's arms with such energy and dash that tho umpire could hear their teeth rattle. After digging up the earth all around second base, the umpire decided that Citizen Cain could stay there. In the lawyers’ half of this inning the legal gentlemen went all to pieces; and a spectator, Lawyer Wheatley, who came op the field at this critical juncture to in struct the players how to play ball, was mobbed. He neaped with his life by the aid of the police. Score—Citizens, 4; lawyers, 1. The sixth Inning developed nothing except a general squeal on the part of the Lawyers, and a heartfelt prayer that the threatening rain would pour down quick and heavy. Score—Citizens. 5; Lawyers, 1. The seventh Inning was a beauty for the Cltizens,McGarrah at the bat opening with a sky scraper for a home i un. This drove nearly every darkey on the grouud wild with delight, and the ladies on the reserved grass waved their handker chiefs and stopped talking to their best young men for three seconds. Score—Citizens,5; Lawyers, goose egg. The shades of nlght-were now falling fast, as through tho agony of the two last innings tho lawyers passed; and, like the Corsican at Waterloo, they sighed in vain for night, that they too—but why linger longer on tills defeated crew. They mot the enemy, and got scooped, by tho total score of 30 against 13. P. S.—By special request, tho courts will be closed for a short time, to enable tho survivors to gather up what is loft of the “Lawyers’ Niue.” THE SAME GAME. A LITTLE ONE ON THE STEVE RYAN ORDER. Gen.

Admission free. Atlanta, August 4.—Mr. S’ephen A. Ryau may have a chance to sell his bed and waststand in the county jail. J. W. Martin is a possible purchaser. The hearing of a petition in his case was finished this morning. Judge il. II. Clark appointed Fulton Colville permanent receiver for Martin July 27 last J. W. Martin sold his stock of goods to J. K. CYegg A- Co., at con siderably below cost, and as his (Mar tin's) creditors allege, with the intention of defrauding his creditors, and putting his stock beyond their reach. Martin claimed that he transferred the proceeds of his salo to Cregg & Co., amounting to $3,090 cash, together with ids books and accounts, to his sister, Mrs. M. A. Nnlly, to whom he was in debted to the oxtent of about $3,300. Glenn and Maddox, attorneys for Ber- gwin Bros., petitioners for a receiver, produced affidavit showing that Mrs. Nally had never paid tax on any notes or claim, hence Judge Clark held that none existed, and he was of the opinion that this was a case of collusion between Martin and his sister to defraud credit ors. Ho therefore ordered that J. W. Mar tin turn over his books, his notes and claims and the $3,090 received from J, R. Gregg & Co., to receiver Colville, and failing in this that Martin be held in contempt and go to jail until the order is obeyed. The judge'gave Martin until Thursday morning to meet the conditions of the order. Mason Sc Hill, respondent’s at torneys, gave notice that thoy would prepare a bill of exceptions in the case, and requested Judge Clark to name what size bond would bo accepted. The judge named $0,000. So if he fails to oboy tho court’s order by Thurs day morning the bond will probably bo ready and the prisoner immediately re leased. Judge Clark, in speaking of this case, said it was very similar to the Ryan cose, only on a much smaller scale, and it must be governed by the same condi tions. “I think there ought to ho a law enacted,” continued Judge Clark, “pro viding that whoever bought goods from a man in trade at less than cost, should be made responsible to that man’s cred itors, if he has any, for the difference.” There is over $5,000 involved in this caso, and Glenn Sc Maddox have con ducted tholr side of it most ably. Business Chances. Tho Americus correspondent of tho Columbus Enquirer-Sun has this to say of our city’s progress: “There will be a large number of changes among our business houses this season. The stores underneath the new hotel are eagerly sought after, and Jack- son street promises to become tho street of Americus. Among the most impor tant of these changes may be mentioned the now firm of French Sc Mayo, who will open with an entirely new stock of family groceries in the store room at the corner of Forsyth street and Cotton avenuo. Both are young men of ability and energy, and it would be a difficult matter to find a more popular man than Ben Mayo." A Public XnUance. Complaints aro frequently heard in re gard to the everlasting nuisance of ped dlers shouting out their wares and mak ing unnecessary and hideous noises. The latest freak of some of these colored peddlers appears to be the ringing of bells at each other when rival wagons pass. Last evening two ice peddlers in dulged in this distracting noise, on Cot ton avenue, to the disgust of every one in their neighborhood. The attention of the police is called to the matter, in the hope that it will bo stopped at once.

The London Lancet hns just recorded a remarkable case, which adds one mort- to the list of those which have beer placed on record to show what a mar will eat in order to satisfy the craving: of his stomach and the pain he suffer, when he is starving. The body of an Arab, who nvis a stow away on a ship which had just arrived, was found in the hold, an-.l was con veyed to the Seaman's hospital at Green wich, where a post mortem was made. The physicians noticed that the body was greatly emaciated, and on aliening seyerai hard bodies were obstrved in the Liicsiines The alimentary canal was thereupon opened, and in it they found the following objects, which prac tically turned the man's intestines into a sort of museum. The article* were: Twenty trousen buttons, three cog wheels, apparently portions of a watch: a 2-iueh screw, which was bent double; a 1-inch screw, six pieces of a lock, the largest being balf an inch long ami half an inch broad; a circular piece of hrdss, several pieces of iron ware, some bits of brass and lead and two key tallies on a ring an inch long. The weight of these vari ous articles iu iuikss amounted to exactly half a pound, Persevering Sparrow*. Tlie time of one housekeeper lias been pretty well occupied this season trying to break up the business of a of sparrows who have determined that they are going to raise a family in a particu lar spot under the roof of her side piazza. The first nest was removed and some wire screen drawn across the opening, but the birds picked and pulled u'jtiv enough of it to wriggle their littlq bodies through sideways^ tujd built again. She Bwashed them out turn time with the garden hose, but In a little while another nest was located and four eggs deposited in iL The drowning ont scheme wus tried once more, but the birds didn’t seem to mind, anil investigation showed that they had roofed the nest over so that it shed rain like an umbrella, and only a little hole was left under one side for them to crawl into. With the persever ance of her sex the lady pulled the nest down for the third time, and this week the birds began cheerfully on nest No. 4 It is pretty hard work to disconrage an English sparrow.—Springfield Home stead. A Beal Summer Danger. To talk of guarding against cold in summer seems absurd, and yet it is os necessary a9 in winter. Where the cli mate is changeable a hot day is often followed by a coql evening, or a sadden rain storm chills the air, or a cold wind springs up, grateful after the beat, but dangerous to those who are thinly clad unless they are protected from it by proper covering. Cotton is a good con ductor of heat and allows it to escape rapidly from the surface of the body. As soon os the surrounding air becomes cooler than the skin it steals tint heat which the body requires for its own needs. A fresh enpply of heat must be produced, aud thus tbe system is over taxed to supply the demands of the rob ber. Flannel is a bad conductor and guards the tender body more faithfully, retaining the heat.—Elizabeth R.
