BEATEN AGAIN ON EEROES

Seery and Glasscock Responsible for Philadelphia's Second Victory. Hines Again Distinguishes Himself at the Bat Kesnlt of the Other Base-Ball GamesClosing Day of the Louisville Eaccs. TOE EALL FIEIA. Hard Lack and Errors Contribute to the Defeat of Indianapolis. Bjecll to tli IndUnspoIU Journal Philadelphia, May 13. Seery's two fumbles in to-day's game proved very costly to the Indianapolis club, as they gave the Philadelphia team runs and the game. Still, it was not alone Seery's fault that his side wa. beaten, as the score would have been a tie in the ninth if Glasscock had used a little judgment in the fifth inning. The latter was on lirst base in this inning, when Hines;made a beautiful drive for two bases. Just as Glasscock turned second base Halhnan stuck out his foot and tripped the Iloosier Captain. Instead of getting up and running to third, which he had plenty of time to do, Glasscock stood still and began an argument with the umpire. The latter had not seen what had occurred, and therefore lid not call IlalLraan down. Meantime Thompson threw the ball into Mnlvey, -who touched Glasscock, and McQuaid decided him out. It was an unjust decision, to be sure, but inasmuch as Glasscock had all to lose and nothing to gam by standing still, instead of walking to third, which he could have done if he had gotten up, it was very stupid to stand and argue the point and give Mnlvey the chance to tonch him. Denny followed by a long fly, on which Glasscock could have scored. The Philadelphia scored another run to which they were not entitled. In the third inning Delhanty made a single to right, and reached second on McUeachy's poor throw of the ball. A good throw would easily have nipped the runner. After stealing third, Delhanty scoredon a tiy to short left field, which should have been caught by Seery. As it was, Denny and Seery both went after the ball, and in order to avoid a collision the latter stopped running. Denny could not get to the ball, and when too late he called on Seery to take it. From the outset it was plain to all the spectators that Denly could not get. to the balL Glasscock stood in his position, but never opened his mouth. He should have called on Seery from the start, as it must have been apparent to him that Denny could not make the play. These misplays, or any one of them, cost the visitors the game; In addition they were playing in what is termed in baseball parlance "hard luck." One of Fogarty's catches of a liner hit by Sullivan was of the phenomenal order, aud robbed the latter of a three-bagger and his club of three runs. Halhnan jumped, high in the air. and pulled down a ball hit by McGeachy, which would have gone to the terrace, yielding three bases, and this play cut off one run for the Hoosiers. Delnantv made a wonderful left-hand pickup while on a full run which spoiled a singlo for Hines, and if the ball bad gone saf? Indianapolis would have scored tivo instead of three in the third inning, and in the fifth Glasscock hit a terrific liner in the direction of right held, which stuck fast in Farrar's glove, holding out his right hand with no idea of getting it. As limes followed with a single Glasscock would have scored had his hit got past The Fhiladelphias scored one run in the third on Delbanty's single, McGeachy's wild throw, a steal, and rogarty's pop ily, which fell between Seery and Denny; ono in the fourth on Farrar s single,' fcecry's fumble and llalltuan's safe bit; two in the fifth on two bases on balls, Clements's single and eery's fumble, , and one in the eighth on two doubles by Iluflinton and Wood. , Indianapolis made three runs in the third on singles by Hoy le, Glasscock, Hines's force hit, and doubles by Bassctt and Denny, and one in the eighth on Hines's two-bagger and Sullivan's single. The features were the brilliant work of Sullivan and- Fogarty in center field, great catches and throws by Glasscock, Basset t, Delhanty, Hallman and Farrar, and Clements's catching. Boyle pitched a tine game, but Myers threw poorly to bases. Hines and Basett did terrific batting. Score:

The Giants were beaten by Pittsburg to-day after a lively and sharplyplayed game. Poor base-running by O'Rourke and Whitney, and a bungllug play by Ward, did much to lose the game. A dense fog prevailed. In -which the Plttsburgers seemed to revel, remembering, perhaps the smoky skies at home, liore made two remarkable one-banded catches, and huiiday won the honors for Pittsburg. Attendance, 4,482.

Eleven innings were necessary to decide the Washington-Chicago game to-day, and the latter club won on Ryan's imric, a base on nails, and sacrifice hits by Dufly and Aniou. The interest was at fever heat all through the game, and the two clubs lonced ahead of one another four times. Ryan and fiweeney were badly off in their work, hut the latter player somewhat atoned for hi looo tteldinjr by timely batting. Van Haltren's work, in all respects, was the feature. t?coru:

The Browns took the lead in the second, and held it until the ninth, when the score was tied on timely hits by Burns, Collins and Foutz. Ylsner brought in the winning run In the eleventh. The feature of the game was the marvelous fielding and base running of Captain Co mister, who was deprived of a home run in the first inning by the umpire declaring a fair-Hit ball foul. Score: fit.

The ball game between the Easterns and Daltons at the League Park, yesterday afternoon, attracted only a small crowd. Both teams played well, and as the score will show the contest was close and brought out several good points. The Easterns were weak at the bat, and their fielding was inferior to that of their apponents. Oray, who pitched for the defeated team, made quite a record, striking out thirteen men. His pitching, the work of Stokes at short, and the batting of Simons and Carson were the features of the game. The score:

Anson talks of signing George Weidman. It is said that Schorneck wants his release. Five or six runs are not a safe lead this year. Tom Brown is playing fine ball with the Boston team. The weak spot in the Iloosier team appears to be in the box. Over 40.000 people saw the first seven games in Brooklyn. McGeachy has fallen off in his stick work since the team left home. Hairy Spenee's New Haven team las not won a game this Keason. Titchers Morris and Conway have been laid off by tho Pittsburg club. Third-baseman Donnelly, of the Washington clnb, has been released. Wheeling and Canton are fighting for first honors in the Trl-State League. Mnlvey Is pleasing the Philadelphians by his correct playing at third base. An.Hon has written Bastian. urging him to sign wltu Chicago and Join a good team. Virtue, of the Detroits. is pronounced to be the coining ftrst-bacuian of the country. Base-ball is booming in Melbourne. The more the people see it the more they like it. Cuptaln Beard, of the Cincinnati, says Oon Uurxy, cr tho ebaoptea fiyrtcuso tctOi la tht

Joe Harmony has not created much of a sensation in the American Association as yet. Townsendhas leen sijmed by. tho Columbus club, and Peoples will probably be released. Thomas Esterbrook seems to have dropped out of sight since his release by the Louisville club. Visner Is playing a good right field for Brooklyn and is establishing a reputation as a home-run -hitter. The No-names yesterday defeated the Young Americans by a score of 27 to 1G, on the Clipper grounds. The Kansas City Club released McGarr. but recalled it, and his fine playing subsequently insures him a season's Job. The Birmingham base-ball club has been expelled from the Southern League, and its franchise given to the Mobile club. Tho real estate agents defeated tho insurance agents, in a game on the Woodruff Place grounds, yesterday, by a score of 9 to 7. Radbourn and Hines are now enirased very successfully, alongjwith Gore and O'Bourke, In proving that they are not back numbers. The New York club appears to have a good enough pitcher in Hatfield. He has proved his worth iu the tnree games be has pitched so far. The release of Ed Andrews, the outfielder of the Philadelphia club, has been sold to the Boston club, and he will probably join the latter club next week. Pitcher Sanders is a genuine puzzle to patrons of the game in Philadelphia. Sometimes he twins in great lonn, and a few days later goes to pieces before a weak clnb. Philadelphia Ledirer: Since Irwin Is off the team the Phillies are winning only when BulHnMill lUl.Uf. illO laiHT Can IIU nrttl, whether there Is a captain on the team or not. If the Inplana polls club had him, say the friends of Jack Kowe. the old Detroit short stop, now manager of the Buffalo team, the Iloosier intield would be greatly strengthened, at least at tno oat. The Northwestern League onranied Friday right, with the followincr-named clubs: Mon archy, Blake-street, 6elects, Southern Stars, Ma roons, Athletics, Fayette-street, and western Stars. Before the season opened Pittsburg was ap parently the strongest club in the Leajrue so far as pitchers were concerned, but now the team seems to be weaker than any of them in that par ticular. President Brush, who has been suffering with a severe attack of rheumatism in his left knee, has cone to Hot Sprtnrs for a two weeks stay. with the hope that he can get rid of tho aggra vating lameness. Von der Ahe savs: "I'm not a shumn: I'm still der boss of der clnb, and I ain't sroiug to let no newspapers run It for xne. If I had my way some of der ne frcpapera in St. Louis would give up tneir passes." Al Bauer, the umpire, was formerly a pitcher or tne nt. lotus Maroons, and was in mat ciud in In 1886, when the Detroits made seven home runs In one gams off Sweeney. Bauer's arm gave out ana ne took to umpiring. At the Exposition grounds, yesterday, the passenger agents defeated the freight agents, the score being 16 to 15. The batteries were iiiiott ana Alexander ror tne victors ana r.cn.man and Schwabacker for the freight agents. The St. Louis team is nlavinar its usual'brilliant game, and, while It is rather early in the season to predict the final outcome of the Association race, It looks now as if the Comlskey combination would win the championship for the nrtn time in succession. Information is wanted of Charles H. Conway, who left his home six years ago and has not since been heard from. He was about five feet eight inches in height, welcht 185 pounds, and is thirty-three years of aire. He began his base ball career in Philadelphia. His mother is now very siok and continually calls for him, so that it would be a boon to hLs family were this to meet his eyes or those of his friends. A city association of base-ball clubs was organ ized here yetterday. It is composed of six clubs oi piayers, unaer twenty years of age. Tne fol lowing clubs entered the organization: The Young Hustlers. Southerns. Eclipse. AU-Amer-lcans, the Northeasterns, and Eastern- Stars. National League nlavmg rules were adopted. The opening tames are Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, as follows: The Young Hustlers vs. the Lcnpse, on tne Telephone grounds; the southerns vs. the All-Americans, on the German Or phans' Home grounds; and the Northeasterns vs. the Eastern fitars, on the Clifford-avenue grounds.

Ciscinnati, May 18.-Judge Ermsten, of the Police Court, to-day dismissed the TOO caes of arrests made last year for violation of the Owen Sunday-closing law, but 6aid he would not have done so if he had not reliable information that prominent citizens would cause arrests to-morrow, in caso there were violations. The Mayor, upon being notified of the action of the Judge, expressed surprise, and spoke of it as a reflection on bis otlicers. He declared that he would not now order the police to make arrests, and added that if citizens asked to have arrests made they would have to accompany the police Into saloons and also go to court and make the charges. The Mayor has received written notice from the attorney of the Law and Order League that that body will expect him to enforce the law. There is likely to be a conflict In oase arrests are made on the question of the right of prisoners to release on bail on Sunday. Three Men Killed and Others Injured. Nashville, Tenn., May 18.

Ottawa, Ont, May 18. Lieutenant Gordon, It N, commander of the fisheries protection fleet, is in town, and had a long conference with Hon. C. 11. Tuoprr. relative to the coming weapon's work. 'ihi fleet for the present will consist of the Areada and Stanley, the Critic, Vigilant and La Candle nne. Tho Instructions to the officers of the ll-jet vary little from those of last year, the liroum stances belnr the same. It has been reported to tho department that a great many of the bank fishermen have failed to secure catches this spring, and that the fish aro within the three-mile limit of Newfoundland. Tho consequence is that the United States bankfishing txHte are returning in considerable numbers with few fares or no faxes at all.

Boston Transcript. .Suicide is a malady of cultivation a characteristic, it may be said, of an advanced and even prosperous state of society. In the United States, where, in the live years between land 1SS7 8,220 persons took their own lives, only 271' of these deaths were attributable to destitution. It is to "end the heartache," and not to escape unbearable material conditions, that people take their lives; and this heartacho or world-weariness is quite as distinctly traceable to the increased sensitiveness of organization on the. part of a cultivated generation as is tho delight in progress, in society, in music, and in literature, that is also characteristic of this epoch of the world. The prevalence of tmicide is in many ways lamentable; but there is no rea

eon why tho world snonld alarm itself unduly about it, or, treating it as if it were due to some preventable cause, like an epidemic of diphtheria, should call out

What is to be doner Nothing is to be done, at least by society as a whole, fcuici de is an inevitable ailment of a time, which, on the whole, is the best time that the world has ever had. HE INVENTED THE COWCATCHER, ls ut, Though It Is Worth Millions to Rail roads, lie Never Got a Cent for It. New York Sun. "I don't believe that there are a dozen railroad engineers in the country that know uuw ur wnen xne cowcaicner nrst came to be a part of the almost human machine thev handle, or who it was that .first attached that important and indispensable fixture to a locomotive," said a railroad man with a predilection for looking things up. "There are engineers living to-day, and now and then one is still in the service. who remember when the locomotive had no cab, no headlight, no sandpipe, nothing to keep the pumps from freezing in the win ter while the eneino was standing still. and there oueht to be manv a, one in active dutv who remembers when -there was no pilot or cowcatcher. such as we have to-day; but 1 asked scores of engineers, who to know better, if thev know how have ought the cowcatcher in its present shape came to oe put on locomotives, and thev have re plied that it was always there, they supposed. Well, locomotives have been made m this country since 1831, or pretty near tdxty years, but it wasn't until 1860 or thereabout that the present pilot became a part of one. t It you 6hould go to Columbus, O., any time within the next few vears, and should drop into the little model-littered office of the Novelty iron-works in that city, you would see the sharp-eyed, white-headed old gentleman who would either be poring over some abstruse work on mechanics or sketching a quaint design for a pattern to be used in fabricating some niece of ornamontal iron-work. That old gentleman is L. B. Davies. who ran tho first locomotive in active service on the first railroad built in Ohio; who was for years a locomotive engineer in that State, and who is the man that invented the cowcatcher nsed on every locomotive in this country to-dav. and in other countries, too, I suppose. That mveuiiuu, or conception, uas savea millions of dollars to railroad companies, and un doubtedly hundreds of lives: but Davies has never received a penny's benefit from it not even a free ride on the road I made the first cowcatcher for,' the old gentleman says. 'Davies'8 story of how he came to invent the locomotive pilot, and his reminiscences of the crude way they railroaded half a century ago, aro most interesting. He was born in 'Kennebec county. Maine, in 1817. worked on his father's farm until he was seventeen, when he served two vears at tho millwright's trade, and then became assist ant engineer on a Penobscot river steamboat. In 1836 1 went to New York citv to get a job said the old engineer. 'I saw an advertisement in a newspaper that Cornelius Yanderbilt wanted an assistant engineer on his steamboat Cleopatra. I went im mediately to tho Commodore and applied for the place. He asked me a lot of questions and kept smiling a queer smile ail the time. 1 hen ho told me to meet him on the boat the next day. I did. He called his chief engineer, whose name was Hurdsall, and told him about me wanting to bo assistant engineer, and they both laughed heartily. I couldn't make out what it meant. But I was engaged for the post. and the first trip we pulled out of tho dock I found out what caused Vanderbilt and Birdsall so much merriment. I found that tho engine of the boat had to be worked by hand until the boat was got into the channel of the river, and it was the assistant enmneer'a duty to do that. I did it successfully, and it required much time and hard work and a great deal of maneuvering to keep the boat clear of other craft. When wo got back to the dock from our first trio Commodore Vanderbilt came aboard and asked Birdsall how the new assistant engineer got along. and Birdsall replied that 1 did first rate, as I could work the engine by hand as well as he could "Davies says he worked one season for Vanderbilt and then went out West. Ho went to work for Michigan's pioneer railroad company, the old Detroit & Ypsilanti, as machinist, and finally went to running a locomotive. The Little Miami railroad was being built, about 1840, between Xeniaand Springfield, O., and Davies went to that work, and ran a construction train until the road was built, when ho ran the first regular train on the road. 'Railroading was a little different then from what it is now,' says the veteran engineer. The rails were of wood, strapped with iron. These straps were constantly flying loose, and curling up through tho floors of the cars, breaking tne passengers' legs and playing havoc with travelers generally. There was no telegraph, ana we ran by a card on which our time was marked. When we stopped at a station where a train was due to pass us from the other direction, we had to lie there until that train came along, no matter if it was a day behind time. Sometimes we would run ahead of time for a few miles in tho proper season, so that we could stop along and give the passengers time to get out and pick Demos or paw-paws. That was years before locomotives burned coal, and tho wood we used for getting up steam was ranked up at various points along the line, where we would stop and wood up, which gave passengers another opportunity to gather berries or flowers, or to fish a little if there happened to be water handy where there were fish, and there generally was. 'There were only two railroad conducttors in the State of Ohio, for that was all our road required, and there was no other railroad running yet. These two conductors were George Smith and William llazen. They aro living yet, one in Yellow Springs and one in Cincinnati. The engines had no cabs and no thaw pipes to keep the pumps from freezing. When our pumps froze, which was at nearly every stop if the weather was very cold, we put a bunch of cotton waste on the 'end of a stick, saturated it with oil, set it on fire and held tho blaze under tho pump until it was thawed. Many and many a time we would run out of water between stations, and then we would stop the locomotive over a creek and dip water from it with buckets until wo filled the tank. This was a very pleasant iob when the thermometer was dancing below zero. " 'After I left the Little Miami I went to the Columbus & Xenia railroad, which had just been opened, and Sylvester Medberry, the superintendent, made me master of the Columbus 6hops. Strange as it may seem nowadays, part of my duties were to run a locomotive whenever occasion required it, and occasions required it very often. It was on one of these trips that I struck the idea of the locomotive pilot or cow-catcher. At that time this was forty years ago the only cow-catcher we had was a row of sharp 6pikes, four feet long, and driven into tho bumper of the locomotive, a foot above the track. It was a cowcatcher, and no mistake. I never liked this thing; in fact, was always afraid of it, for I had many dangerous and disagreeable experiences with it. It was especially dangerous at night. The locomotives had no headlights, and cattle of all kinds had the free run of the country, fences being unknown along the line of railroad. Scarcely a night passed that we didn't run into a drove, and impale one or two cows on the spikes, their dragging bodies frequently obstructing the wheels and throwing us from the track, causing many serious and fatal accidents. The pilot was calculated to pin all obstructions to us, instead of throwing them from the track, and I never made a trip that I was not studying some way that I could improve the cow-catcher so that it would not only cease to be a constant menace to life and property, but would becomo a safety guard. "'One day, as I was running one of my trips, thinking, as usual, about the cow caicner, l noticea a xarmer piowmsr in a field near the railroad. The manner in which the mold board of the plow threw the soil to one side instantly cave me the idea I had so long sought. That was the very action I wanted for a cow-catcher. but it was one-sided. Then it struck mo that a device that would be virtually a piow wiin a aouoie moiu-noaru wouia givo the action on both sides, and the modern locomotive pilot was invented, there and then, as I sped through that valley. I did not rest until I had constmcted a pilot after my plan. I attached it to the locomotive Patterson, and on my very first trip with it its success was more tnan demonstrated. bupennt?dent Medberry was with me on the trip. Whie we were going at a stiff rate of speed we round ed a curve and came suddenly on a drove of cattle on the track. I couldn't have stopped if 1 had wanted to, but I wouldn't have stopped if I could, fori determined to test the value of my new pilot, let the consequences be what they might. We cut through that drove like a plough coistf

The news of rnv pilot soon unread, and it wasn't lone be fore every road in the country had it on its locomotives, and it is in use to-day. with no deviation whatever from my original plan. That idea that the Buckeye fanner's plow gave me should have made me more than a millionaire, but it never brought me a single penny not even a free ride over the road for which I made tho first cow catcher.' " ASSUME OTIIKKS' CAKES. No More Bother About Getting MarriedWomen Who Will Man age Affairs. Philadelphia Record. One of the developments of nineteenth century civilization which has recently come into vogue in Philadelvhia, is a managerial personage designated as a "wedding superintendent." The personago is, of course, of the feminine gender, and her function is to remove from the shoulders of the prospective mother-in-law and her daughter every burden and responsibility. She not only contracts to furnish the bride's trousseau, providing every detail of it from traveling bonnet to orange blossoms, but she undertakes entire charge of the culinary arrangements, furnishes silver, glass and table linen, superintends the 11 oral decoration of the house and church, provides the carriages, and, in fact, holds us thoroughly important relation to tho festive occasion as does an undertaker to a funeral. The superintendent is not of necessity a dressmaker, a caterer, alloriculnirist nor a hackdriver, but is supposed to be a woman of tact and business, who will detail the management of the various accompaniments of a marriage festival to responsible persons, 6he herself having the general supervision of everything. This plan of wedding superintendence is not yet widely recognized", but a number of Urge partieo?ieu in Philadelphia during last winter were conducted upon a similar principle. The idea is merely an expansion of the functions of thtf so-called commissionaires who have recently been plying such a thriving business. "Professional shoppers'' is their more comprehensible title. Their prime end is to lend their taste, time and experience to supplying tho wants of ladies wno are, by reason of distance from the city or other causes, incapacitated for making their own purchases, put the commissionaire is no longer confining herself to the purchase of purple and tine linen for domestic use. She now holds herself in readiness for any task. With eo,ual alacrity she will accept the commission to buy a carriage or an elephant, a barrel of hour or a directoiie dress, a diamond necklace or a ton of coal. "I am engaged in the selection of a span of horses for a country gentleman just now," said one of these business women yesterday. "I bought a carriage yesterday for auother one, and expect to go househunting next week. An order for the purchase of a ship would not in tho least appall me. I would set about it immediate y as I would the purchase of a yard of. cashmere. I havo the contract for keeping several families supplied with clothes lrom year's end to year's end, and a number of college students depend entirely on my judgment for the replenishment of their wardrobes." Not Afraid of the Hereafter, San Francisco Chronicle. The traveling missionary had had a somewhat varied experience. He had been through a very rough country, and his meek spirit had been sorely tried. He had found the spirit of irreverence and disbelief all over the land, and the ground .was very stony. Iiut he left iu despair when be struck an old man at a railway station in Texas. They were both waiting for the train. He got into conversation with the grizzled veteran of frontier life. They discussed various things, and finally tho missionary asked: "Are you prepared to die?'' "I guess you vo always got to be prepared in this country. Yrs; Pru prepared to die, Or get the drop on the other fellow." 'T don't mean that. Are you prepared for a hereafter?" "Why, certainly. A hereafter! I-ook here, stranger.

"It is remarkable how quickly horse adapt themselves to the military service.' said Capt. Cox to a reporter. "Every artilleryman knows that they learn the bugle calls and the evolutions quicker than the men, as a rule. For one thing they soon acquire a uniform gait, which is about the same as the 'route step or the usual marching step. If tho horses did not acquire tho fcaino gait as the infantry there wonld bo varying distances between the different arms of the service that is. between tho , infantry and the cavalry, artillery and tho commanders and their escorts. "In the drills in the artillery service tho horses will themselves preserve their alignment as well as the infantry. I shall always remember one illustration of thfs trait which 1 noticed at an exciting and critical period of a battle. In order to save Home of our infantry from being surrounded and captured 1 quickly mounted tho cannoneers on tho guns and put the whole battery at a dead gallop across a 6tretch of meadow about half a mile wide. 1 was qnite accustomed to such sights, but when we wero half way across the field I noticed the array, and for a moment I was lost in admiration of the magnificent picture. Every driver was plying whip and spur, and the great guns were rocking and thundering over tho ground, and every horse, reeking with foam and full of animation and excitement, was straining every muscle as he galloped forward; yet it seemed to me that a straight line drawn along in front would havo touched tliQ heads of the lead horses in front of the six guns. That was an artillery charge, one of tho mobt thrilling eights in the evolutions of war. "It is surprising how quickly they learn tho bugle calls. Afterwe had been in service some time my first sergeant once asked mo what call that was, as tho bugle blew some command. 'That's a prett v question for you to ask, I said. 'How in thunder do you know how to march?' I don't know,' he said, 'but my horse knows.' Let the first note of the feed or water call be blown and there will be a terrible stamping, kicking, and neighing. Once, in a terrible fdonn, our horses and those of several other batteries broke loose, and there was a wild rush among the artillerymen to get horse in tho morning. All was excitement, and the horses were hard to get, but when 1 ordered tho bugler to mount a stump and blow the feed call, the horses all mnda such a mad rush for our battery that tho men could hardly get out of tho way quickly rnongh. "When it comes to a battle a horse seems to know everything that is going on, but he does his dutv nobly and scorn to be iu his element, lie enters into the spirit of the battle like a human being. He bhows no fear of death, and it is singular that if nis mate is shot down he will turn to look at him and eccm pleased. A horse in my battery was once struck by a piece of hell, which split his skull M)tbat one fide was boc. T he driver turned him loose, but he walked up by the side of the gun and watched tho firing, and when a shot was fired wonld look away in the direction of tho em-my as if to nee tho effect of the hhot. When a hell would hurst near by he would calmly turn and look at it. When be saw his own to.-iin Rointr back for ammunition, ho ran to bis own place and galloped back to the caisson with the rest. When the lieutenaut pushed him aside to put in another bori be looked at the otheronesorrowf nl1 while ho was beiug harnessed ud, and when he seemed to realize that then was no f.urtheruse for him he lay down and died The lieutenant strongly asserted that he died of a broken heart. "At tho time that Adams's, Jackson's and Preston's brigades charged me at Murfreo..ooro some ollicer was killed and the brigades were driven back. But the fallen officer's horse had not lecn taught to retreat, and he did not. Ho just came at full speed through the battery, and 1 tell you ho looked siniply grand. He was a large, iiue animal, his nostrils were extended wilc. hi eves fairly blazed, and he clutched the bit with his teeth as he came on. Ho came like the wind, and with his saddleflaps living he looked as if he were flying himself, instead of running. Everybody gave him a wide berth, and I called to tho infantry that I would give $100 to the man who would catch him, but no one tried it. and he is running yet for all 1 know or him."

Mlnd-Keadcr UUhop's Habits. New York World. Washington Irving Pishop, who died th9 other day, seemed always to belong to tho darkness and the night. It was very unusual to 800 him ahont in the daytime. At tho (iedney House, where he stoujMHl before his hist trip to California, he usually occupied his room until 4 or 5 o'clock in tho afternoon, when ho got up and took breakfast. Then he was to be found around town all the evening, aud until A or 5, or even 0 o'clock tho next morning. It was the most common thing in the world to go into anv of the cafes along Proadway at 3 o'clock and find Hishon the center of an admiring crowd which he had been eutertaining for perhaps an hour or two previously. When ho got into tho exhilarated condi tfon resulting from frequent potations he was in the habit of making the most extraordinary statement concerning himself. I remember him one night in Milligan's announcing as an important secret that Sadie Martinot was his bister. However this may be. it is true that T.PrighamPUhop. the talented !lc ..t"bhop Tnian- and xh composer of "Pretty as a Picture," i his brother, and ia some respects quite as remarkable a hurxa being as tho late xnind-rcadex.
