THE KNIGHTS OF THE DIAMOND,

WHO THE MEMBERS OF THE HOME CLUB SAG AND MOH WHENCE THEY HAIL. Terre Haute lias a first-class ball team, a team which has made a remarkably successful season so far, aod«rit will doubtless be inloraiation to many readers of the NEWS to know where the members of the clnb hail from and who they are.

Edward Eiteljorg, the twirler who held Columbus down to six hits yesterday, was born in Indiana. He is a native Hoosier, this is his first season out and and he gives brilliant promise of being the coming pitcher of thk section of the conntry.

James Dougan is another good pitcher and is also a native of the Hoosier State. This is his first season on the diamond, anil he undoubtedly lias a promising future before him as a good roan in the box.

AL. Dorsey first saw light at Crawfordaville. In his early boyhood days he was a lover of ball games and last year he began his career as a player with a club in his native city, finishing up the season with Logansport. He is Terre Haute's able center fielder.

Jack Donavan was born in New York state, and raised in Massachusetts. He is anew man with the home team, having been here only two weeks. He played with Elkhart last season, and alsotnis up to the time he was secured by the home management. He is a fine catcher.

Win. Nelson is a Terre Haute boy. He has been playing several seasons. He began his career in Muskegon, in 1884. He is the great all-round player of the team.

George O'Brien was born at Katford, 111. He first played professionally in Evansville, in 1880. He played at Roxford, III., last season, leading the InterState league as short stop. He plays short stop with the home club.

Jim Cantillon was horn in Wisconsin and began his career as a ball player at Minneaixdis in '80. He played at Crawfordsville, Terre Haute and Peoria last year. He was injured last May and did not play any this season until the game with Evansville at this pl^ce. He does his duty well on third base.

Alphonso (Jonley was born at Decatur, III., ami started as a ball player in his native city. He is several seasons out and is a fine fielder, besides being a first grade man at the hat. lie has the power of infusing the team with energy and life.

Ben Lotz was bom in Madison, Ind., and legan playing ball at Springfield, Ills., Northwestern League, in 1883, as pitcher. He pitched in Terre Haute in 1884 and led the Inter-State League at Danville," last vear, as first baseman. He joined the Terre Hautes last spring and has played exceedingly well at first base.

Billy .Schneider, the manager of the home team, was born in IndianapoliB and started out at Lincoln, Neb., in the Western Association, in 1887. He was with Dubuque last year as catcher. Terre Haute is his home at present, and in the ball games he iB good in the field, at the bat or behind it. He deserves great credit for bringing such an excellent winning team together with the amount of money at his command, and after all the other clubs had selected their men. Vive la Schneider as our worthy manager.

It would be unjust to close this article without mentioning H. F. Schmidt, to whose nerve and prompt advance of money Terre Haute owes her excellent hall team. He backed the team when no one else had the courage to do so. Furthermore, he deserves to be eulogized for securing the great clubs from all around ^dubs which demand large guarantees —to play on the Terre Haute Diamond.

OF FATALITIES.

THK SHERIFF AND HIS DEPUTY KIIXEO—THE GOVERNOR CALL# OUT THE STATE MILITIA TO QUELL THE DISTURBANCE.

AtrsTix, Tex., August 17.—[Special.]— Governor Roes received a dispatch last night from Richmond saying that a feud between the "Jay Birds" and "Woodpecks," rival political factions, had reached a bloody contest in which Sheriff Garvey and Deputy Blackney were killed and four others wounded. The "Jay Birds" are white Democrats of Fort Bend and number about four hundred. The "Wood-pecks" ^are principally negroes and are largely in the ascendent. The present trouble is a renewal of the race quarrel. A dispatch also received by the Governor from Captain Reichardt, of the Houston light guards, said Richmond was in the hands of a mob. The guards were therefore dispatched to the scene about midnight last night. Persons who have arrived at Houston from Richmond reported that the "Woodpecks" were in the court house surrounded by the other faction, and confirmed the killing of Garvey and Blackney. The town was wild with excitement and but one light was burning in the whole place, and that was at the hotel. The riot was precipitated by the "Jaybirds" walking through the streets witfi rifles. In the fighting that followed a young rnnllato girl was killed by a chance shot. Governor Ross will go to Richmond this afternoon.

TOLD BY A PHOTOGRAPH.

THE ENGINEER DIO NOT REVERSE HIS ENGINE BEFORE THE WRECK OCCURRED. ROCHESTER, August 17.—[Special.]—A photograph of the locomotive of the Rome, NVatertown & Ogdenburg express train that met with a fatal accident last week at Forest Lawn, taken before the wreckage was distorted and while the engine was still in the position itassumed when the collision occurred, was exhibited at the coroner's inquest yesterday and showed one remarkable feature. The picture indicates the startling fac* that the lever was not reversed at the moment of the collision. The lever by which the link motion is controlled is not vifsible in the photograph, but the ml running from it to the shaft on which the links are suspended is plainly in view and the position j&iows that the steam was operating to move the engine forward instead of the reverse, when the collision took place. Several witnesses testified that the engineer reversed his engine before thcrtrain htt the obstacle.

The woman has made a statement that Frauenfelder is her second husbjand.*atid that he has used her brutally and often beaten her, btv sides being guilty of infidelity. She says the money referred to belonged to her, and not to* her husband, and she has not given it to Crane. She alieges Frauenfelder ill used her Children by a former husband, and by his cruelty foreed her to leave him.

A PLEA RON THK DIQNITY OF OLD MISS'SIPP—AN OFFICCR ARRIVESTO TAKE «IAKE KILRAIN »N .OHARQE.

PUHVIS, Miss., August 17.—John L. Sullivan was sentenced to-day to 12 months imprisonment. Fitepatrick pleaded guilty and was sentenced to $200 fine.

Arguments in the Sullivan case were made yesterday. District attorney Neville opened and closed for the state, while ex-Attorney General Ford, Judge Calhoun and Mr. Green appeared for defendant. The district attorney in closing his argument said: "From the evidence the accused has been proven guiltv If your verdict betbatof "not guilty"—Mississippi it disgraced and despised,'ana if the verdict is 'guilty' then you will show to the world that in Mississippi, our beloved state, the law is supreme. At half past 3 o'clock the ease was given to the jury and at 5 o'clock it returned its verdict finding Sullivan guilty as clififged in the first count—prize fighting.

Sullivan's face, as the verdict was rendered, was a study his look was not of disappointment or grief, but more of worry and annoyance. He showed no feeling in the presence of the crowd, and as soon as he could get away from the courthouse he went by the back way, accompanied by several of his faithful friends. He tried hard to keep up his spirits, singing a snatch of song and forcing a laugh, but he was evidenty a little (Town-hearted. He stopped at the depot to see the north-bound train pass, and later on recovered his usual merry mood and was sociable and unconcerned as ever.

CHILD8 AFTER JAKE.

BALTIMORE, August 17.—[Special.]—L. G. Childs, the detective who took John L. Sullivan south, arrived here this morning for Jake Kilraiu. He had an interview with State's Attorney Kerr and Marshal Frey. Kiirain's counsel, Joseph White, being out of town, it was decided to do nothing until next Monday.

Richard Moore, of Moore & Langen, in a discussion of the snbject of oil in Terre Haute, made the very pointed remark: "The firet oil well discovered at Findlay Ohio, produced 1,400 barrels of oil the first year and the next four wells, were complete failures."

Jonn O'Neil, superintendent Phoenix oil well: "I have no sympathy with the Terre Haute capitalists and business men who have become discouraged over the failure of the different wells here. In my opinion we not only have oil but we can get natural gas in quantities sufficient to supply any demand of the city, I have already taken stock in anew comnany and if we miss a good location I'll invest again irt another drilling in anew directioin"

MRS. HARRISON AND THE WHTTE HOUEK. There seems to be a desire on the part of certain newspapers to comment on the manner in which Mrs. Harrison manages the White House kitchen. This is sot only the height of impertinence but it shows a laughable verdancy. One would suppose that the mistress of the executive mansion arose early, tied on an apron, skimmed the trnlk. got the breakfast and bossed the hi?ed girl. Mis. Harrison is competent and doubtless has done these things as the wife of a private citiEen, but the duties of her present position and the domestic arrangements of tlte White House are of rather too complicated ami arduous a nature to permit inch personal supervision. As to the charge that the Harrwonslive on ham and emm. they would not be typical Hoosiers if they were not fond of their "hog and hominy" and if ttufi^ is anything better what is it?

OF ACCIDENTS.

There was a time when an accident resulting in the loss of several lives would create a universal sadness but so common have such occurrences become, that our sensibilities have grown dull. Every day brings its list of casualties and horrors seemed to culminate in the Johnstown flood. After that noth ug appears dreadful. To-day's dispatches report a frightful railroad wreck near Butler. Penn., with a long list of killed and wounded and a serious gas explosion and fire in New York causing much loss of life. People haw come to look upon these fatalities as the inevitable result of modem ways of living. Our rapid transit is bound to cause collisions, and our adaptation of the various forces ofnature to our use is like the- attempt to bridle a wild and unmanageable horse. In our mad rush to get on in the world and outstrip all competitors, many must fall by the wayside and lie left by the hurrying multitude. We are still ten-der-liearted and sympathetic, but we haw not time to stop and give expression to oar feelings.
