OF BLUFFTOII SOIL

Manager Jessup and His Tribe Of Braves Will Play Three Games There.

CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.

FISHER, CONNER AND FLEMING WILL EACH GET A TURN MEREDITH IS TO JOIN THE TEAM TO AID JESSUP.

(By Tort.) At lO o'clock the Quakers, headed by Manager Jessup, who Fays that he Is one big sore from head to foot, left Tor an Invasion of Bluffton. The outfit will play at Blrfton Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and as all of the boys are In splendid shape with the exception of Jessup, they are confident of taking at least two out of the three games. If they do It will be a splendid record, as it is no dream of an Ideal life to take the Wells county warriors on their own battle field. Fisher will be In the box in the first game, according to the dope, and the southpaw should turn the trick. Conner will work Wednesday and Fleming will work Thursday. Manager Jessup has ordered Pitcher Wentz to report, but the elongated rube has not yet put In an appearance. Probably he is engaged In signing contracts and accepting terms. Billy Meredith will probably join the team at Bluffton to work behind the bat In case Jessup is

unable to do the receiving. The little manager Is unable to turn his head as a result of the jolt Wolfe gave him Sunday, and to add to his troubles, the charley horse In his leg still bothers him considerably. Jessup also has a finger minus a nail. "Rags" Comingore Canned. "Rags" Comingore, erstwhile captain of the Kokomo outfit and the worst rowdy in the league, has been given the tinkling sleighbells by the Kokomo management. Had Comingore been able to play the game as well as he could bait umpires he would crowd Husk Chance off the initial sack for the Chicago Nationals. People In Kokomo, when the league started, , thought that they had a sure pennant winner. Now they are disgusted with the team. As a result there will be a wholesale shakeup. A Kokomo exchange says: F. C. Morris met with the Sharpsvllle management and after a lengthy conference three men were released. Catcher Orr and the two Comingores, and three new men were signed. Catcher Hardy, the hard hitting catcher of the Dunkirk team, Campbell, another good sticker from Muncie, and Walter Quisser, a Western league pitcher, who only Sunday made the record at Indianapolis of striking out eleven men and getting three, clean hits, are the new men. Clash of Claims. There is a prospect of another row over a player. Fortunately this time Richmond is not an rnterested party but Van Wert Is. Kokomo announces that Campbell, the fast outfielder on the defunct Dunkirk team, has been signed by them. Van Wert comes along with a claim to the same player. More work for Mr. Kling. An Offer to Horn. Monday evening Manager Jessup offered Will Horn a place on the pitching staff of the local team. Horn turned down the offer thinking he was worth more money than Manager Jessup offered him. Manager Jessup states that he offered Horn $10 more than he was drawing when a member of the Richmond team in the spring, and that he cannot afford to go above the figures offered. No Place for Hicks. Monday afternoon Manager Jessup received a telegram from Hicks, big first baseman on the Lebanon team, stating that that outfit had disbanded and that he would like a place with the locals. Hicks is a magnificent fielding first baseman, but a poor hitter. He is not in Cameron's class, so Manager Jessup informed him that there I, no place here for him. Kick From Van Wert. The stories brought home from RichBond by both players and spectators prove that the locals won two of the three games of the series there and that would have been the result had the umpire not been influenced by Jessup and the other . rowdies of his team. Manager France Is highly incensed over the treatment accorded Van Wert team in the series of games at Richmond. It has been the policy of the

locals to play clean, gentlemanly ball and this fact has become known to all the rowdies in the league, with the result that Van Wert has suffered the

loss of many runs because the opposi

tion kept the umpire intimidated. The order has been given to the Van Wert players that hereafter they are to

meet the opposition with the kind of ball they desire to play. Van Wert prefers to win its games on merit alone, but it does not propose to be brazenly robbed In the future without at least putting up a little more opposi

tion than might be expected of a dead horse. Van Wert Bulletin. Shakeup at Bluffton.

Bluffton is making another shake-

up .in Its base ball team. Spicer has been selected as captain. Tanglin, the shortstop, has been canned and second baseman Eichler has gone to Piqua, O. The payroll is to be cut down to $200 a month. Hare to Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Aug. 6. "Bunny" Hare, manager of the Lebanon team, held a conference with President Watkins, of the Indianapolis team and it is probable that he will sign an Indianapolis contract and join the Indians at once. Hare's work as a member of the Lebanon team ha3 attracted wide attention and several league managers have endeavored to sign him. He prefers to play in Indianapolis for the reason that it is near his home at Noblesvllle, in addition to the fact that he wishes to vindicate himself before Indianapolis followers of the game. He was tried out with the Indians last spring and was released because his contract specified that he was not to be farmed. It is also probable that Watkins will sign outfielder Collins of the Lebanon team, who has been a sensation in Independent base ball this season. Lebanon Team Disbands. Lebanon, Ind., Aug. 6. Through the inability to secure daces with first-

class teams the Lebanon team has disbanded. This action was taken by the management yesterday after a meeting of the directors of the ball association, to which the members of the team were invited. After going over the situation thoroughly it waa decided to disband. The members will on their own accord play several games this week that were scheduled. The formation of the Indiana-Ohio league is responsible for the disbandment of the team. It is doubtful if any other Indiana city ever had the team that Lebanon had this year playing independent ball. Practically every member of the team will be In much faster company next year. Lebanon's percentage Is .714. The team has won the last fourteen games played.

WILL ATTEND CONVENTION HERE. Mrs. Jennie Scantland, president of the W. C. T. U. society at Economy and Miss Vlrgia Stanley, secretary of the County W. C. T. U. will attend the convention Thursday afternoon to be held in Rhoda temple.

MOLDERS MAKING CLAIMS. Hoosler Team Looks for More Worlds To Conquer. Since their recent victory over the Robinson molders, the Hoosler molders' base ball team has taken it upon itself to claim the championship of the amateur ball teams of the city and has issued a challenge to any of the same for a game to be played at the public school diamonds on any Saturday morning. The challenge is backed by the signature of Manager Jack Bertrand. The line-up Is as follows: J. Helmich, C; Bertrand, P; Lane, S S; Rothart, 1st B; G. Helmich, 2nd B; White, 3rd B; Hodapp, R F; Chestnut, C F; Busson, L F.

People Failing to Cut Them May Get Into Trouble. GROWTH IS PHENOMENAL.

Contrary people, refusing to keep their alleys clean, troubles in repairing the streets, and many other things with which Street Commissioner Dye has to deal, and which are trouble brewers, fade In comparison to the hard work he is doing at the present time to make property owners and property holders cut the weeds around their places. The heavy rains of the summer have given the weeds an impetus in growth, rivalling California's giant trees. In some sections of the city the weeds are particularly bad. The property owners have been warned and some have cut them. Commissioner Dye saw the weeds must go, and unless tne property owners Immediately take steps to cut them he will file cases in the city court.

DUELS THAT FAILED Flash In the Pan Affairs That - Originated In Washington.

SOME FAMOUS MEN INVOLVED

The Challenge That Cutting of New York Sent to Breckinridge of Ken tucky The Brooks-Sumner Quarrel and the Pry or-Potter Trouble. Could the details of the causes of numerous Invitations to the field of honor in order to settle differences by a resort to the code duello and the nonmaterialization of these expected hostile meetings be brought to light they would most assuredly prove to be interesting reading matter. Many of these flashes in the pan affairs .originated in Washington in the antebellum days. In the early part of 1854 a big sensation was caused because of a difficulty between John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky and F. B. Cutting of New York, both members of the national house of representatives. It was at the time when the Kansas-Nebraska bill was under discussion. Cutting intimated in a speech that Mr. Breckinridj was partly resposible for an article that was published in the Wash ington Union, the Democratic organ in the capital, which was offensive to him, and the two gentlemen indulged in a colloquy that was very near a bitter personal quarrel. In the course of it Mr. Cutting made a remark, when the Kentuckian arose and in a quiet but very firm manner asked the New York man to withdraw the statement. The house had been listening to the remarks of these gentlemen very earnestly all the while, and when Cutting said, in answer to Breckinridge's request that he withdraw a specified portion of his remarks (they were assertions that Mr. Breckinridge had been skulking), that he would withdraw nothing there came a sensation, which developed into great excitement when Breckinridge said Cutting had spoken falsely and that he knew he had lied. Now, when a gentleman called another gentleman a liar in that period of our history it generally meant a fight of some kind, and so it proved in this case, for before the day was over Mr. Cutting, through his friend, a Mr. Maurice, sent a note to Mr. Breckinridge calling upon him to retract "or to make the explanation due from one gentleman to another." Early next morning Mr. Breckinridge, through his friend. Colonel Hawkins, accepted the challenge. Both men were up to full measurement In the quality of pluck required for a sanguinary battle. An arrangement was made to meet at Silver Spring, In the state of Maryland, which was the residence of Hon. Francis P. Blair. They were going to fight with the ordinary rifle, but they didn't get together. Mutual friends were grieved at the idea of a prospective tragedy which might end the lives of both of these eminent men. Full details of this transaction in the interests of peace were not known, but the reconciliation was effected, though not without urgent reasonings, and the two became as friendly as ever. Every one knows of the assault upon Senator Sumner of Massachusetts by Preston S. Brooks of South Carolina. No one seemed to think that a challenge to the South Carolina man would come out of this lamentable affair. Brooks, it Is very well known, was Intensely angered at remarks made by Mr. Sumner concerning Senator Butler of South Carolina, who was an uncle of Brooks. This was in May, 1856. The Massachusetts senator had said in a speech the day before that Senator Butler 6bowed an Incapacity for accuracy, whether in stating the constitution or in stating the law. He also said, "He cannot open his mouth but out there flies a blunder." The excitement over this affair was not confined to Massachusetts and this country, but extended across the sea, particularly to England. Massachusetts was stunned with horror. Even Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison were aroused to anger. In the meantime Mr. Brooks was awaiting n challenge from some one. Senator. Wilson, Sumner's colleague and later vice president of the United States, made' a speech in which he said the attack upon Mr. Sumner was "barbarous and ruffianly." Mr. Brooks was prompt to send him a challenge for using these words. Senator Wilson was opposed to "the code" and consequently declined the challenge. He sent word to his challenger, however, that he was ready to defend himself whenever assailed. But some one had to come to the front for the sake of the state that honored Sumner. Anson Burllngame was the man. He was afterward, as nearly every one knows, the American minister to China and the author of the agreement known as the Burllngame treaty. He was at the time of the attack upon Sumner a representative in congress from Massachusetts, lie made a speech in which he said that Brooks entered the senate chamber and smote Sumner as Cain smote his brother Abel. Mr. Brooks sought Fouie explanation concerning parrs of Burlingame's speech, but the Massachusetts man said he would allow his remarks to interpret themselves, and Mr. Brooks sent him a note a very polite note which read as follows: Sir You will do me the kindness to Indicate sone place outside of this District where It will be convenient for you to negotiate in reference to the differences between us. On the same day Mr. Burlingame answered as follows: Sir Tour note of this 5ate was placed hi rny hands by General Lane thle afternoon. In reply I have to say I will be at the Clifton House. Canada side of Niagara falls, Saturday next at 13 a. m. to "negotiate" In reference to any "difference between us" which. In your judgment, may require settlement outside of this District. This expected duel was another that did not materialize. It was preveutc-.l by some means. The minions of the law got in their work, and the gentlemen were put under heavy bonds not to violate the statutes. During the discussions upon the Lecompton caeasare the Kansas-Nebraska-i&trf)6b isjttt&ftl-tfee Missouri

A BIG FORCEJS AT WORK Thirty-eight Men Engaged on The Streets.

Thirty-eight men, the largest force that has been employed in many months, are now at work on the streets of Richmond, under the charge of Street Commissioner Dye. There is an unusually large amount of street work being done at the present time, necessitating the employment of an extraordinarily large number of men. One man is used exclusively to repair all "chuck" holes in the macadam streets.

compromise measure there was more acrimony m congress than in any other era in its existence that is, when folks began to call the house a bear garden. It was almost as bad in the senate. It was during a debate on the Kansas-Nebraska act in the senate Senator Douglaa of Illinois and Senator Green of Missouri (poor old Jim Green, who is never spoken of by those who knew him but with pity for' the unfortunate drinking habit that occa sioned his downfall) had trouble. Green in his speech said that Dong las did not dare to controvert him. It was a debate In which Jefferson Davis got mixed up, and there were personalities all around. There was some movement toward a duel at that time between Douglas and Green. Notes had passed, and everybody expected there would be something going on at Bladensburg, but friends intervened and prevented a hostile meeting. Then there comes to mind that famous Pryor-Potter trouble, which grew out of a charge that Totter, who was a Wisconsin man, had Interpolated the manuscript of the house reporter. The quarrel that began over that re suited in Mr. Pryor, who represented the Richmond (Va.) district, seuding Potter a challenge. Potter, while disclaiming allegiance to the code, said he would fight Pryor Indoors or out in the District with bowie knives. Pryor declined to fight in this way on the ground that the weapons were barbarous. Inhuman and not used among gentlemen. Then General Lander, who was Potter's friend, offered to fight Pryor in any way, but his offer was declined on the ground that he (Pryor) had had no quarrel with Lander. There were other duels expected it Washington In the dueling days thai never took place, but those cited here are about the most Important of the episodes. vt' '-n Post
