A FAR REACHING CALAMITY,
Full Mvtunt of tlie Properly Lokm Can
Not Be AxcertJiineti for Weeks.
Different Points \ isited.
St. Louis, Mo.. May 31.—Additional reports
received at Carlisle, 111., of the havoc-
wrought in that vicinity by the tornado
Wednesday evening continue to swell the
list of dead and injured.
A rumor was afloat here that Richville,
a small place situated on the Illinois Cen-
tral, had been entirely demolished and
twenty persons had been killed, but it es-
caped wonderfully in comparison with
neighboring' towns northwest. The tnil ex-
tent of the loss ol property can not be as-
certained for weeks to come. Many or-
chards have been destroyed, thus entailing
a loss of thousands of dollars.
The tornado was also a visitor in the
vicinity of Ashley, three miles south of
Rlchville, and demolished houses, barns
and orchards. It seems that the storm
parted before reaching this place, one-half
going north of it and the other south.
Oakville, eighteen miles south of Car-
lisle, was visited. Rain fell in torrents,
swelling the small streams to rivers. Shade
trees are strewn in profusion over the
town. Emma Kratise, aged 19, died to-day.
Her parents were killed. This makes the
total number of dead 19.
The storin came from the northwest at
New Baden and went southeast toward
Mascoutah. The territory between the two
places was untouched.
At Minden it assumed a southeasterly
course and destroyed that place, but
skipped Hoylton, which is situated between
there and Rlchville. There was a differ-
ence in the direction.
In Baden trees were twisted, while in
other localities it was a direct blow. The
storm disappeared a few miles from Ash-
ley. The value of property destroyed in
New Baden, New Minden, Richville, Ashley
and Oakville and vicinity is said to exceed
$200,000.
Those killed in this vicinity are:
Robert Foster
Mrs. Connell and infant.
Farm hand, name unknown.
Samuel Oliver.
Although four days have come and gone
since the tornado here, the labor of the
city officials in clearing away the debris
is scarcely perceptible. The city at night
goes without street lamps, either gas or
electric. The only light afforded is that
furnished by private electric, plants, and
the principal streets are in darkness. The
street railway companies have had hun-
dreds of men at work repairing the dam-
age to their power houses and trolley
wires and to-day nearly all the principal
lines were in operation. But the work that
has been done is so meager when com-
pared with that which remains to lie done
that there is scarcely any perceptible im-
provement.
The telephone service is practically para-
lyzed. Although the telephone company
has had hundreds of men at work repair-
ing the damage to its wires, hundreds of
demolished buildings have not been touch* d.
No one can tell it' the ruins conceal the
bodies of other victims of the storm.
In many localities a foul stench arises
from the ruins. Whether this is due to
the fact that the ruins conceal human
bodies or dead animals time alone can tell.
The work of searching in the ruins of the
old city hospital for victims of the storm
began to-day with a force of laborers. Su-
perintendent of the workhouse, Mr. Carr,
with a gang of fifty negro prisoners,
handled the search. Besides the force of
workhouse laborers thirty laborers from
the sewer department were also placed at
work in the ruins.
Guards armed with double-barreled guns
keep watch over the workhouse prison-
ers. The whole of the surgical ward, the
consumptive and other wards were gone
over without discovering a trace of a
human body. The authorities at Jefferson
barracks have notified the central relief
committee that a force of troopers will
bring up to the wrecked districts a large
number of tents to-morrow and establish
a commissary for the purpose of furnishing
cooked food for the needy. The cavalry
cooks, stewards and camp men will do the
work.
The number of persons and families who
are still without homes and without the
means of getting them is great. Many
wagons were in use to-day distributing food
to the hungry. Over a hundred teams
were kept busy moving furniture from
wrecked buildings for those who did not
have the means to pay for a van.
There are hundreds of people who need
clothing and need it badly, and the supply
on hand is meager.
THE ST. LOUIS STORM.
Tli oil .mi lids View the Devnstntion
Wrought on Wednesday.
St. Louis, |Mo., May 31.—Every railroad
entering this storm-stricken city ran ex-
cursions to-day. They brought scores of
thousands of people to view the devasta-
tion and ruin wrought by the awful storm
of Wednesday. The streets of the ruined
districts were thronged with visitors all
day. They came from almost every town
and city within a radius of 3o0 miles, and
nearly all day a cold, drizzling rain fell,
lowering, threatening clouds covered the
sky and a more dismal scene than the
ruined portion of this city presented could
scarcely be imagined, and through the
crowded streets all day long came funeral
processions. Nearly one hundred burial
permits were issued by the health depart-
ment yesterday, and every hearse in the
city was kept in constant use. At early
dawn people began to crowd into the city
morgue. Many came in search of friends,
but for the most part people who visited
them were drawn by a morbid desire to see
the mangled corpses of the unfortunate vic-
time of the tornado.
All day long the officers on duty were
kept busy keeping the people moving in
line, and out of the viewing room of the
morgue. _ Every few minutes some one
would think they had discovered Homo one
whom they knew among the bodies ex-
posed to view.
Superintendent Mack of the morgue had
a trying time in answering questions in re-
gard to the bodies and taking names and
descriptions of persons who have not been
eeen by their friends since the storm. There
were people there from points in all direc-
tions, far and near. Chicago, Cincinnati,
Louisville, Indianapolis, Kansas Citv and
scores of smaller places were represented.
From such towns came anxious people in-
quiring for lost friends.
THE LESSON TAUGHT.
Dr. Tipples of (>011111111 Preaches 011
the St. L011 in Horror.
New York, May 31.—-The lesson taught by
the recent terrible storm at St. Louis was
the theme of a sermon delivered to-day by
the Rev. E. S. Tipples at the Grace Meth-
odist Episcopal church. He took his text
from Jeremiah xxiii, 10: "Behold a whirl-
wind of the Lord is gone forth in furv
even a grievous whirlwind."
fr'®ev^Jea,r1 ag? to-day, about 225 miles
from hero, lying in a narrow valley be-
tween ridges of mountains, was a happy
cityof 2000 homes Ten thousand people
lived and worked there. Just above it in
the valley was an immense reservoir of
J? J Without any warning, the dam
f 41 ! vwater broke away and
swept the town before ft.
','T^e chief city of the country west of the
Mississippi—St. Louis—to-day sets in the
gloom of a great calamity and the world
weeps Willi her. Why is the sackcloth of
the nation worn to-day? 'Behold a whirl-
wind of the Lord has gone forth in fury,
even a grievous whirlwind.'
One can not consider such a catastro-
phe without asking who is resoonsible.
The dam at Johnstown was not strong
enough; but man has 110 control over tor-
nadoes. Has God anything to do with these
overt timings and destruction? These are
the bewildering questions which come into
our minds, and we feel that it is hard to
understand them,"
The speaker went on to explain that as
one of the results of the disaster men
would be taught lo look away from the
minor details of life and to think more ant'
m< r< of God and the future life. Another
blessing would be found in the increased
sympathy among men. Already offerings
of assistance had betn received from all
sections of this country, from European
cities, and even China and the people of the
orient were offering aid to unfortunate St.
Louis.
A Picture of Desolation.
Seneca. Mo., May 31.—The district of
Seneca's flood disaster of yesterday pre-
sented a picture of desolation to-day.
Cherokee avenue, the principal business
street, is divided in two sections by the
loss of the iron bridge which spanned Lost
creek. Searching parties are constantly
beating either side of the stn .1111 in search
of missing citizens, who are evidently
drowned. Of the eight -en drowned, four-
teen have been taken from the water. One
hundred homes are inundated, and two of
these, those of Messrs. Andreas and
Schmidt, were carried down the stream,
and every member of the families drowned.
A number of families have lost all and are
destitute. Many farmers along the course
of Lost creek lost their crops. The total
loss is above $50,000.
The dead whose bodies have been recov-
ered are:
Henry Andreas, ag'd (JO.
Ida Andreas, ag d W.
Lou AndiVas, aged 70.
Henry Andreas', aged p).
Mary Andreas, agtd 11
Mrs. White, wife of I lev. Harry White.
\\ ilHe Doeblcn, aged 5.
A re hi,-? Williams, aged 9.
Mrs. Robinson and baby.
Carl Smith, wife and live children.
Floyd, a child.
At Dayton, nineteen miles east, a man
named Reynolds was drowned.
Weather at Sliormau.
Sherman, Tex., May SI.—At 9 p. m. the
barometer registered 2!).07. very forbidding.
At 10 p. m. it had risen to 29.14, and every-
thing indicates that the storms predicted
by the weather bureau will prove to be
heavy rains. The western sky is filled with
clouds, indicating electrical displays, but
with no indication of the tornado or hurri-
cane order.
Fifty-Ninth Death at Sherman.
Sherman. Tex., May 31.—Mrs. N. E. t At-
kins died to-day of lockjaw, superinduced
by injuries received in the tornado. Her
residence, 1102 West Center street, was to-
tally destroyed. Her death makes the num-
ber of fatalities in the city 59, and the total
number of deaths in the cyclone's path in
this county 66.

much more was lost a little while later by
the heating of a large quantity of corn.

the boys for another month, and leaves
Sunday for San Antonio.
Dallas, Tex., May SO.—1The honest money
convention to-day was one of the liveliest
assemblages that has assembled in this
city for many a day. W. H, Clark, Judge
M. L. Morris, A. P. Woaencraft and other
Culberson honest money men attempted to
capture the convention and adopted resolu-
tions recognizing the Dudley primaries.
This proposition was fought vigorously by
W. J. Moroney, W. L. Crawford, J. T.
Trezevant, C. F. Carter and others.
The Hardy democrats organized on one
side of the hall. Delegates were selected
to attend the honest money state conven-
tion# at Austin. President Cleveland and
his administration was indorsed and a new
county executive committee, with A. T.
Watts as chairman, was selected.
The other section selected A. P. Wozen-
craft chairman and Henry Crawford sec-
retary. Delegates were selected and in-
structed .against the nomination of C. A.
Culberson for governor.
Victoria lliiuctallistN.
Victoria, Tex., May 31.—A mass meeting
was held here yesterday to organize in the
interest of bimetallism. C. L. Thurman
was chairman and J. D. Jamieson secretary.
A motion was adopted naming J. S. Hogg,
J. W. Blake, J. H. Reagan and J. C. Beas-
ley as the candidates to be voted for in
this county as delegate® at large from the
state to the national democratic convention.
Moved and carried that the chairman
have tickets printed and distributed to be
used at the primaries on June 6.
The following resolutions were read and
unanimously adopted:
1. Because the constitution of the United
States expressly declares that it is not with-
in the power of the general government to
make anything but gold and silver a legal
tender in payment of debts; be it
2. That in the opinion of this meet-
ing the framers of that instrument de-
clared and determined thereby that gold
and silver should be the money fcf this
country and that discrimination by legisla-
tion in favor of one or against the other
would never become a question of serious
import among the people of this country.
3. We believe that the ratio of 10 to 1 is
the true* ratio, because this has ever been
the contention of the democratic party, and
that this contention has its support in the
fact that this ratio has been found by those
skilled in matters of finance to be the true
ratio between the two metals.
4. That we, the democrats of Vic-
toria county, will on the 6th day of June
next, hold primary elections as instructed
by the democratic executive committee of
the state of Texas.
Captain O'llrien's Candidacy.
Beaumont, Tex., May 31.—1The populist
representative convention for this, the
Thirty-sixth, district has been called for
June 23 at Kountze. There seems to be
hardly any contention for the two nomina-
tions, though of course candidates will be
pllt out.
Captain George \V. O'Brien, who has been
indorsed and requested to run for con-
gress as the sound money candidate by
the Jefferson county democracy, has the
distinction of having lived in and voted the
good old democratic ticket of southeast
Texas for forty years. For sterling integ-
rity and sound intellect the captain ranks
high. He is the only sound money man out
and will receive the unanimous support of
that contingent where they have not al-
ready taken action. The United Confeder-
ate Veterans will stand by the captain as
they did back in the sixties, and, taking-
it all in all, his chances are fair.
Primary Meeting, Held.
Kinney, Tex., May 30.—To The News: In
accordance with the call of the democratic
executive committee of Austin county, a
primary meeting was held here this evening.
Delegates were appointed to a county con-
vention to meet at BellviUe June 13 and to
act in said convention in so far as it relates
to appointing delegates to the congressional,
judicial and senatorial conventions, but to
take no part in said convention in sending
delegates to the state convention. The dele-
gates go uninstrueted as to the nominations.
After the convention adjourned a meeting
was held and resolutions passed to meet
next Saturday, June 6, and hold a primary
election in accordance with the call of the
state democratic committee.

Clay County $01111 il Money Men.
Henrietta, Tex., May 31.—The sound
money men of Clay county held a mass
meeting at the court house yesterday and
decided that unless they are permitted to
go into the primaries on June ii and vote
the county ticket only they will not take
any part in said election. A committee was
appointed to interview the county chairman
of the free sllverites, and unless lie offi-
cially makes an announcement, to that ef-
fect the sound money men will take no part
whatever.
CuiididatCM Speak.
Nacogdoches, Tex., May 30.—Judge Ha-
zelwood of Panola county, candidate for
congress, had an appointment to speak
here last night, but was prevented by
there being a Baptist protracted meeting
goin on. besides an Ice. cream festival given
by the Stone Fort rilles. The judge attend-
ed the festival and was invited to make a
short speech, which he did.

to make a speech here.
A Smitll Vote.
Beaumont, Tex., May 31.—The total vote
in the only primaries held in this county,
which was 011 May 23, was 151. In 1894 the
same primaries cast 233 votes. In the pri-
maries this time a largo number of both
factions remained away, presumably on ac-
count of the Dudley action. The sound
money men, however, captured the pri-
maries and refused to bind themselves to
Dudley-Culberson unless they stand upon
the national platform.

Extensive Preparations .Made—The
progruin 111 c Mapped Out.
Nashville, Tenn., May 31.—A hard rain
storm this afternoon played havoc with
the expensive ornamental decorations that
had transformed the business streets and
public square into masses of color, and
now limp flags, discolored bunting and
disordered adornments bedeck house fronts,
where before noon all were bright and
glowing with color. To-night rain still
threatens and lowering skies are ill omens
for to-morrow's parade. The city shows
the influx of many visitors. Hotels and
tempQrary quarters are rapidly tilling up,
and unless the rain prevents, one of the
largest crowds fever seen in Nashville will
be here to-morrow.
The parade is expected to be the most
extensive ever witnessed in this city, and
will start at 9 o'clock, with the United
States marine band at the head.
Brigadier General Guy F. Henry, U. S.
A., in command, with a battalion of the
Fifth United States infantry., a battalion
of Sixth infantry and a squadron of four
troops of the Third cavalry, will be in the
first division. Five divisions form the pro-
cession. When the centennial grounds are
reached President J. W. Thomas of the
centennial association will proclaim the of-
ficial inauguration of the centennial and
an immense Hag will be raised, and Hon.
J. M. Dickinson, assistant United States
attorney general, will deliver an address,
and the centennial will be ready.
In the afternoon the woman's building
will be turned over to the woman's board,
and addresses, will be made. Fireworks at
night close thje first day's programme. The
exercises will be concluded on Tuesday,
when Hon. Alf A. Taylor and Hon. E. W.
Carmack will deliver addresses.
Ma 11 Nil eld Not n Diplomat.
San Francisco Examiner.
Richard Mansfield, as is well known, has
not always conciliated the liking of those
with whom he has come in professional
contact. Two stories of his experience at
Spokane, Wash., a few years ago are told
as follows:
There (in Spokane) he came in contact
with Jack Quinn, the scene manager, who
had been familiar in olden days with Booth
and McCullough and who was a prince at
his work. Jack always sought to avoid
cause for complaint, and especially did
he so act in the case, of Manstield. But a
kick was inevitable. A couple of scene-
shifters, after some laborious work In the
Hies, came down to the rear of the stage
breathing rather heavily as a result of
their exertions. Manstield chanced to walk
near them. He nearly froze them with a
look. Then he summoned Quinn.
"The breathing of these men annoys me,"
said Richard.
"I'd answer to the law if I stopped it,"
replied Jack, with ready wit.
A stage hand slipped and danced about a
little in the effort to regain his balance.
"Your men make too much noise with
their feet," exclaimed the actor.
"Hereafter they'll walk 011 their hands,"
was the response.
Mansfield had no more use for Quinn and
during the remainder of the engagement
they spoke to each other only when it was
absolutely necessary.
Will Redeem Their Pledge.
Chicago, 111., May 31.—Chicagoans will re-
deem their pledge to the democratic com-
mittee to-morrow. Mr. Harrity and his col-
leagues of the committee will meet in joint
conference with the local committee who
have charge of the arrangements in con-
nection with the convention hall and the
balance of $11,000 of the $40,000 pledged will
be turned over to Mr. Harrity. I'M rial in-
spection of the Colliseum will be made by
both committees to-morrow, every original
feature agreed upon originally being now
practically completed. Committeeman Shee-
rin. who has been charged with that duty,
will distribute the press privileges ami
tinallv pass 011 the telegraphic facilities to
be provided.
The Way It Will Stand.
Cincinnati, O., May 31.—'The Enquirer to-
night has a complete return from 115 of the
119 counties in Kentucky and claims that

vention at Lexington. Ky., next Wednes-
day, with the exception of Witen. Knott
and Spencer and Casey counties, not heard

Shiner, Tex., May 31.—At the congres-
sional convention yesterday afternoon Hon.

know that there would be a convention
that day. as the call for the same was
only issued late on Thursday last.

Houston (I, Galveston 5.
The greatest crowd ever gathered to wit-
ness a baseball game in Texas was pres-
ent in Beach park yesterday. They began
to gather long before the gate's were open,
and an hour before the time for the game
to start, every seat in the two big stands
was occupied, and the bleachers were one
mass of animated humanity. The crowd
then began to spread over the field. There
was a row five or six deep from the right
field fence down to the beach side of the
grounds, and from back of the catcher to
away beyond third base. Hundreds sat on
the ground between the stands and the
diamond. At least 4000 people were in the
grounds when the game opened. And such
an assemblage it was. Every other man
had on the colors of his favorite club;
some had the colors fastened to their canes,
while others had improvised Hags and ban-
ners. Every known instrument that could
be utilized as a noise maker was brought
into play, and these, with two bands of
music, made at times a perfect bedlam.
And then the yells of the rooters that were
hurled back and forth from stand lo stand,
only to be re-echoed by the crowd around
the Held. There was plenty of chance for
the adherents of both teams to exercise
their lung power, as several brilliant plays
were made by members of both teams.
Those present will long remember the
sight.
immediately after the game the crowd
overran the Held and a battle of cushions
ensued. Cushions came from every con-
ceivable point. It was a glorious day, a
glorious crowd, a glorious game, but—Gal-
veston lost. Of the game itself, the de-
scription below will tell.
Single won the game for Houston in the
fifth inning, when with two out and Gal-
veston players on second and third, he
made a beautiful running catch from deep
center field, In, almost, to the inlield. He
just managed to reach the ball, but held it,
and saved two runs. Galveston really lost
the game by not hitting the ball to the
ground. Eighteen ily balls caught by the
Houston team tell the tale. Outside of
Slagle's remarkable catch, the field work
of Hoover and Kemmer and the batting
of the latter were the features.
THE GAME.
Mr. Roach doubtless during his early
youth heard somewhere the old motto,
"Look before you leap," and transposed it
to "Think before you act," because ho held
the ball for several minutes before he de-
livered it. *
Brott opened the inning by fouling out to
Shaffer 011 first. Suearingen hit the ball in
front of the plate ami got to first. Week-
booker flew out to Rankin at short. Kem-
mer Hew out to left. Slagle for Houston
flew out to Hoover. Shaffer went out from
Brott to Kemmer. Hoover, after making a
hard attempt to get Cote's hard foul ily,
threw him out at first.

kin and Badger nut a high one up in the
air which Shaffer caught. Page started
the enthusiasm of tho Galveston rooters
by hitting to left for two bases. Watkins
Hew out to Becker. Reed beat out an in-
field hit. and he and Jacobs scored on the
latter's long hit to left, which was poorly
handled. Becker went out from Hoover to
Kemmer, McGov.an hit to Kemmer and
Hardy, covering first, got the put-out. Ran-
kin went out from Suearingen to Kemmer.
Third inning: Hardy struck out. Brott
Hew out to McGowan in right and Suearin-
gen sent Galveston to the field by tiring

going out from short to first. Single'sin-
gled to center and stole second on Weck-
becker's bad throw. Shaffer rlew out to
Kemmer. Cote went out from Hoover to
Kemmer.
Fourth inning: Weekbecker Hew out to
Rankin and Kemmer .stirred the crowd bv
bitting for a home run over the left field
fence. Hoover's hard drive to center was
cleverly caught by Slagle, liadger went
out from Reed to Shaffer. Reed was hit
by pitcher and took first. Jacobs went out
from Hoover to Kemmer, but Herd went
to third, no one covering the bag there.
I'.ejcker's single scored Reed. McGowan hit
down the first base line and Kemmer put
him out. Rankin went out on a tiy to
Hoover, leaving Becker on base.

vanced Page to third. Hardy's out at first

ond. Brott went out from Ueed to Shaf-
fer, Watkins going to third. Suearingen
went to first 011 balls. Weckbecker's short
fly to right center was captured by Slagle
after a desperate run. Roach llevv out to

but was caupfit napping by Hardy, and
Becker put a high foul in the air, which
Weekbecker took care of.
Seventh Inning: Page got first on Ran-
kin's wild throw, Watkins Hew out to Ueed
and Hardy to McGowan, and Brott fouled
out tD Cote. Tho first ball to McGowan hit
his but, but Sinclair was bluffed into giv-
ing him his base. Rankin's sacrifice 'ad-
vanced McGowan to s&cond and I10
scored on Roach's single to right.
Slagle singled to center, advancing Roach
to third. On Shaff'-r's hit to third Roach
was thrown out at the plate, but Slagle
Scored by reason of Shaffer interfering
with Huearingen's fielding of Weckbecker's

some manner closed. Cote went out from
Hoover to Kemmer.

er, who was going to third.

Game to-day at 5 o'clock.
Galveston outbatted and outflelded Hous-
ton, yet lost.
• A ball hit in the bald head stand took a
man's hat off.
Houston had flags flying in the stands to
mark their section.
A man only had to get out to awaken
all sorts of enthusiasm.
Roach hit the ball luckily among the
right bleachers and got two bags.
That was a vicious slug Page gave the
ball in the second. It was good for two
bags.
W hen Kemmer hit his home run it made
a subject for the small boys to harp 011 for
ten years.
Weekbecker was prevented from making
two easy foul fly catches on account of the
great crowd.
When Roach got. out in the third, Ho-us-
tontans said their twirlers were paid to
pitch the ball, not hit it.
Benches and chairs were brought on the
field from neighboring buildings by some
enterprising Houstonians.
Shaffer made an awful error in the
eighth when he played off his base, think-
ing to make a double play.
Cote made an awful muff of a foul in the
ninth. It was as bad as Weckbecker's muff
of Isaac's foul in Friday's game.
Hardy, in the third, was the first man to
strike out. In the first two innings all
Galveston's men went out on flies.
Watkins will be crowned duke at noon
to-day. His hit in the eighth was one of
the timeliest made here in many a moon.
When Kemmer came up in the first, ad-
mirers presented him with a two-loot
square pretzel, decorated with pink rib-
bons.
The Buffaloes certainly have nothing to
brag about on their base running. They're
as slow as the cold storage delivery ve-
hicles.
Houston went clean wild when Jacobs hit
that three-bagger in the second, scoring
Heed and coming in himself 011 a wild
throw of Watkins.
Sinclair has a way of calling balls and
strikes which would make one think he
was playing leading part in one of
Shakepeare's heavy tragedies.
Editor W. H. Bailey of the Houston Her-
ald made himself useful in taking tickets
at the gate during the Galveston rush that
poured through it for over an hour.
Jacobs was 011 first in the sixth and was
playing for a steal to second. Hardy caught
him easily to Kemmer but Sinclair called
it safe. On the next ball, though, Hardy
caught him beyond a doubt, and justice
had sway.
Jacobs bunted in the fourth and IlooT-er
fielded the. ball. He threw it to first and
there, was 110 one to guard his base, and
Reed, who was running from first, took
advantage of tjie opening and came around
to third. On the next hit he scored.
Fort Worth K, Italian Ii.
Fort Worth, Tex., May 31.—The Panthers
celebrated their return home by downing
tho Navigators handily. Isaacs pitched
great ball and was superbly supported by
his in and outfield. Three lightning double
plays were made by the Panthers.

San Antonio 10, Aiintlii 7.
San Antonio, Tex., May 31.—Tho Bronchos
repeated the trick on the Senators to-day
that they perpetrated 011 the Students yes-
terday by batting out a victory in the last
inning. Up to the ninth the score stood 5
to 7 and tho local rooters were leaving in
dismay when the fireworks opened up and
four clean hits w ere made off Well nor and
the score made 10 to 7 in favor of the Bron-
chos. To do this, however, the Bronchos
found it necessary to relieve Dwyer in the
box with Pan-in in order to hold the visit-
ors down. It was an exciting game, many
Austin rooters being present to heighten
the rivalry.

ing the baseball team elected Mr. J. L.
Wilbarger manager, vice Mr. John Erhard,
resigned, and Mr. J. L. Slater captain, vice
Mr. C. D. El tor, resigned. By the way,
"the boys" request The News to correct a
recent report of the match game between
Bastrop uud Webberville, which gave tho
score as 17 to 4, whereas it should have
been 7 to 4, in favor of Webberville. They
protest against being recorded so badly
beaten as the erroneous report would show.
A series of three games is to bo played
between Austin and Bastrop teums next
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday at Eire-
man's park.
Tho ltooierH* Special.
Houston, Tex., May 31.—The rooters'
special on the International and Great
Northern pulled out from here at 1.45 with
eight coaches crowded to their capacity
with rooters, tin horns, voices, a brass
band and other paraphernalia indicative of
tho rooter's profession.
That train, though, carried but a fraction
of the excursionists that went to-day to
tho Island city, the crowd going on all
trains being estimated at 2000.
The result of the rooters' visit is told in
the score.

Lawn Tenn In.
Austin, Tex., May 30.—To The News: Im-
mediately after the banquet given the ten-
nis players on the night of vMay 20; tho
company adjourned to the parlors of the
Avenue hotel to organize tho Texas lawn
tennis association. The association was or-
ganized with the following officers: Presi-
dent. James D. Collett of Fort Worth, vice
president, Paul Kelly of Dallas; secretary-
treasurer, Leslie Waggoner, jr., of Austin.
These three officers are to compose tho
executive committee. A committee was then
appointed to dratt a constitution and draw
up by-laws. This committee was as fol-
lows: Collett, Gray and Messer of Fort
Worth. These gentlemen were instructed
to report as soon as possible. On receiving
their report the secretary is to mail a copy
to each club In order to receive sugges-
tions in regard to amendments, etc.
At present live clubs have expressed their
willingness to join the association—Dallas,
Waco, Fort Worth, Krenham and Austin.
We wish to raise the number to ten at
least, and feel confident we can do so with
very little trouble.
This organization enables us to join tho
National lawn tennis association, which wo
will do next January. It also gives us tho
