BOSTON WILL FLY TWO BALL PEN-
NANTS THIS SEASON.
Joe McAuliffe Will Have Another Chance to
Regain Hia Lost Reputation—Raoes and
Baseball—General Sporting.
The lengue season closes next Saturday, and
thu yesterday practically decided the
contest for the pennant. Boston will win it.
Br .ton won two games from Now York on
Tuesday, while Chicago lost to Cleveland. As it
now stands each have lost fifty games and Bos-
ton is three ahead in frames won. It is not
probable that the remaining throe games which
each team has to play will change the result.
This will enable Boston to fly two pennants
thin season, the tirst time in the history of tho
national game that a city has had such dis-
tinction. The Boston association team has a
cinch. The following shows the standing of

Will Swim in Kngland.
W. 0. Johnson of the Manhattan athletic
club, familiarly known as "Burt" Johnson,
the amateur champion 100-yard swimmer of
the United States and Canada, has sailed for
Europe, and his main object in going abroad
is to compete in the 100-yard swimming cham-
pionship of England, to be held ()ctobor 10 at
the St. Goorge Baths, London. He will bo
absent about two months and will compete in
nil short distance races during his stay.
Among experts in New York there is a feeling
that Johnson will meet his match on the other
Bide. Englishmen are notoriously fast swim-
mers, American records makiiig a ridiculous
comparison with those of England. The
Britishers are also adepts at bath swimming,
which is practiced little in this country, al-
though Johnson has shown himself very clover
at the turns. But the difference in the record
»it 100 yards, which is Johnson's distance, is
ho great that even the champion's best friends
do not feel very hopeful. The swimmer him*
self is not sanguine of success, though with
true American grit lie says: "I'll give'em a
good shake for it."
Johnson is 23 years of age, 5 feet 8^ inches
• tall and weighs in condition 186 pounds. Ho
swims the trudgeon, or, as it is best known,
the overhand stroke, which is very fast but
also very exhausting. Johnson first competed
in the 100-yard swimming ehatiinionhhip in
1888, when he finished fourth; he won iu
1889, 1890and 1891 and also won tho 181»1
Canadian 100-yard championship. He holds
tho American amateur 100-yard record made
in still v^ter, 1 minute 15 2-.r> seconds, but this
plays no .igure with the English amateur rec-
ord, which is 1 minute Ul4 seconds.
Another Chance for McA uiiflV.
The Pacific athletic club of San Francisco
lms a match in view for Joe McAuliffe, tho
Mission Boy, next month with Peter Maher,
the Irish champion, who is daily expected in
Now York. If this can not be arranged there
is r likelihood of Billy Woods of Denver or
Bill Keogh, the Nevada giant, being sent
airninst McAuliffe. Joe's many friends in
Frisco are not yet satisfied that the good.
naturod blonde giant is a back number and
want to see him given a chance to redeem
himself. There never was such a ring idol on
the coast as .Toe McAuliffe up to the time ho
was defeated by Peter Jackson, and it will al-
* ways be believed that Joe was not in shape
when ho met the dusky antii>odean.

l)o Witt County.
Ci'kro, Tex., Oct. 1.—Good rains have fallen
here for several days past, doing much good
to the soil, and from appearances more is
coming. However, it will not do much harm,
and as the new moon will make its appearance
to-morrow evening it is moro than probablo
there will be a let up of gentle showers.
It is astonishing to note the great difference
in the looks of things from that of a few weeks
ago. Now everything is sprouting out, tho
trees putting out now leaves and the grass
growing luxuriantly. In some parts the cot-
ton still in the field has been injured by tho
rains, but in the great majority of tho fields
it has been benefited, and a good top crop will
be gathered before this month closes.
Bishop Nerez of San Antonio diocese held
services at the Catholic church Sunday. Some
sixty children received the rites of confirma-
tion, a majority of whom were Mexican born.
Large shipments of cotton take place al-
most daily on the Southern Pacific and Aran-
sas Pass roads. Considerable cotton is held
back as yet by many growers of tho staple,
and as the shipments are large throughout
southwestern lexas it is impossible to make a
correct estimate of tho amount of cotton that
will yet be marketed.
Business is beginning to loom up iu town,
and the rains having encouraged the farmers
they are trading more freely than a few weeks
ago.
Montgomery Count .
Montgomery, Tex., Oct. 1.—A very heavy
rain began falling yesterday evening about 4
o'clock and continued for nearly un hour, re-
sulting in much good to ribbon cane, peas and
potatoes, as well as replenishing tiie cisterns
and supplying an abundance of stock water,
which was growing quite scarce, but resulting
in great injury to tho cotton vet in tho field
ungathered, as much of it had fallen out and
was on the ground and is now past redemi>-
tion. With favorable weather the crop will be
gathered by October 15, though at present
every indication points to more rain.

FACTS FROM THE FORT.
A UNITED AND VIGOROUS KICK TO
BE MADE.
Sad Death of a Well Digger—Arrested on
tho Charge of Robbing a
Dead Woman.
Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 1.—There is con-
siderable excitement in tho city over a call
for an indignation mooting to bo held at the
courthouse to-morrow night to consider city
affairs. The call is signed by a large number
of the largest property owners and taxpayers in
Fort Worth, and there is every prospect that
there will be a general rospouso to it. A re-
porter interviewed one of the gentlemen, Judge
J. F. Cooper, who was circulating the call and
asked what questions would be considered at
the mooting and was told that
all questions involving the expenditure
of money would be taken up. He
said that at its present gait tho city council
would soon bankrupt tho city, and that it was
time to call a halt before it was too late. Tho
proposed scheme to expend from $500,000 to
$1,000,000 for waterworks, he said, was an
outrage, when all the water tho city needed
could be secured by an expenditure of not
more than $125,000. The action of
tho city board of equalization in assessing city
property at double what it would bring or
was worth was a scheme, and the heavy in-
crease of expenses in all departments of the
city was more than tho people woro willing
to stand.
An anonymous dodger was also circulated
upon the streets to-day intimating that job-
bery was running rampant and calling on the
mayor to veto the act of the council in se-
lecting
which will cost the city $20,000.
A well digger named Martin McCarthy was
engaged in building a stone wall in a well
when a stone weighing eight or ten pounds fell
from the top, a distance of thirty feet, striking
him on the head, fracturing the skull. He was
taken from the well in an unconscious con-
dition, remaining so up to tho time of his
death which occurred this morning. The de-
ceased left a wife and children who were do-
pendent on him for support.
Some timo ago the retail grocery merchants

mutual protection and agreed to print a
list of non-paying creditors, a copy of
which would bo forwarded each mem-
ber of tho association, and all pledging
themselves not to credit any man whose name
ap|>eared on tho black list. To-day D. T.
Copperfield filed a $10,000 damage suit against
nary Bros., members of tho association,
charging that they had placed him on the
black list, and by so doing had destroyed his
credit to such an extent that his grocery sup-
plies were shut off unless he paid cash down,
and which damaged him to the sum men-
tioned.
Mrs. Ella Cooper and Mrs. Sullivan, two
white women, were arrested and placed

J. K. Colbert, the negro school teacher, was
on trial to-day. Tho indictment for forgery
was quashed and a motion was made to quash
the indictment for passing as true a forged in-
strument, but it was overruled. A motion to
continue was also overruled and defendant
went to trial. The evidence introduced was
substantially the same as that offered on tho
examining trial, which has already been de-
tailed in The News. A night session was held
aud tho case went to the jury at 10 o'clock.
After being out half an hour they returned a
verdict of not guilty.

Negro Mass Meeting Held—A Big Suit in
Court.
Paris, Tex., Oct. 1.—Thero was a mass
meeting of negroes two nights ago to hear tho
report of the delegates to tho convention of
negroes recently held in Houston. Among other
things discussed was tho bad service of the
mails. They claim that no attention is paid
to colored people, especially to tho colored
women, when they ask for mail and that there
is a dispostion on tho part of tho clerks to ig-
nore them, consequently they have deemed it
expedient to protest against such treatment
aud have framed a resolution, in which the
post in aster is requested to investigate tho mat-
ter and seo that the negroes are treated as
citizens when they ask for mail.

Hard to Locate.
Paris, Tex., Oct. l.—A few nights ago a
peoplo's party man was making a speech at a
schoolhouse a few miles from tho city. There
was a good crowd out and the shaker was in
good form, so to speak, no spoke pathetic-
ally of tho condition of the country and
of his deep interest iu the welfare of the peo-
ple. There was no collar on him, he said. Ho
had always been independent, and voted as he
pleased. After a timo ho called tho nntne of a
prominent citizen in tho audience and asked
him to testify as to who and what ho was.
The citizen did not respond at first, but tho
speaker pressed him and ho arose and said:
"Well, if you must have an answer I will give
it. I have known you twenty-five years and
have never been able to locate you either po-
litically, religiously or morally."

Cruz, to bo discontinued. Orders to take ef-

From recent developments in tho James
Lawrence horse theft and pasture cases now
on trial in tho district court, it appears that
the stealing of horses was dono by a regularly
organized band, who would raid the different
sections aud drive the stolen stock into Law-
rence's pasture. Those thefts woro not con-
fined to tho ordinary scrub stock, but the best
on the range. Several parties of tho gang have
been convicted aud more will follow.
A Bad Death.
San anoelo, Tex., Oct. 1.—This morning at
Talpa, a small station on the Santa Fe, while

Trikityi Tex., Oct. 1.—-On Snnday morn-
ing Perry Collier arrived horo from Corpus
Christi, from which placo tho citizens got a
ticket and shipped him to this place. He was
Mick and hadAo be carxiod*>ut to lus brother's.
yesterday for assault with intent to murder.
He was convicted and given five years in the
penitentiary. Ho is the man who stabbed a
woman in Chanpell Hill recently.
Mr. J. P. Wilson, contractor, who hss been
getting out rock for the mouth of the Brazos
jetties, was in town to-day circulating a peti-
tion addressed to tho railroad commission, re-
questing a reduction on freight rates for rock

him are larger in proportion than from the
Ledbetter quarries, and that he will be unable
to compete unless a reduction in freight can
be obtained.
Sheriff D. E. Teacue returned from Halletts-

Referring to the recent statement in The
News' Bionham correspondence to the effect
that ladies iu attendance upon n theatrical per-
formance in this city had complained of
smoke and soot from tho adjacent smoke
stack of Messrs. A. II. Harrison, that firm
writes to The News to say that "the troublo
was caused by the burning of eight kerosene
torches belonging to tho theater, which were
kept lighted on the east side of the building
and directly in front of the wiudow in tlui face
of an east wind."
Yesterday's Brenham dispatches chronicled
the fact that suit has lieon filed by tho proprie-
tor of the theater against A. A H. Harrison for
$1000 damages and a i>eri>etual injunction to
restrain them from using the machinery and
smoke stack in quc?>tion. The News is in
possession of statements from several citizens
to the effect that tho soot complained of by
the ladies emanated from the smoke stack of
Messrs. Harrison.
This publication is made here in fairness to
both parties at issue aud in order to show that
neither The News nor its Brenham corre-
spondent desires to do aught else than to pub-
lish the news. _

Lovelady Locals.
Lovelady, Tex., Oct. l.—This fall day has
been fine for tho cotton pickers, but death to
anything in the shape of gardens. Tho

few years.
Cotton continues to come in lively. Farmers
liavo no disposition to hold their cotton this
year, and as fast as they get it ready sell it,
and the crop is likely to be nearly all mar-
keted by tho end of this month.

IRISH IH CONVENTION.
FIVE HUNDRED DELEGATES READY
FOR ORGANIZATION.
Possibly the Most Important Gathering
the Irish Race Ever Held This
Side of the Atlantic.
of
Chicago, 111., Oct. 1.—Possibly tho most
important public gathering of the Irish race
ever held this aide of tho Atlantic began horo
to-day. It was tho convention of tho Irish
national league ot America and of tho societies
and individuals throughout the United States
and Canada in sympathy with that organiza-
tion.
Secretary John 1\ Sutton caused a sensa-
tion at tho very outset. Ho had called the
convention to order and when tho cheering
greeting his appearance had subsided he pro-
ceeded to read the call, expressing regret at
the absence through illness of President John
Fitzgerald and Vice i'resident Patrick Martin
of Baltimore. Secretary Sutton said tho dele-
gates had come at their own expense, in spite
of the hostile public opinion created by men
he was sorry from his heart to say wore
Irishmen, but ho urged them to think only of
their holy cause and put it at once as it should
be—on a business basis.
After appointing tho committee on creden-
tials the convention made John Flannery of
Pittsburg secretary and then adjourned until
2 p. in., pending u report from the credentials
committee.
Five hundred delegates in round numbers
were announced to bo ready to roorganizo,
Moriarty of Nebraska set tho ball rolling
with a motion to substituto M. V. Gannon as
permanent chairman, instead of Temporary
Chairman Ryan, whose continuance seemed
imminent. Tho vote showed, however, that
Chairman Ryan had captured the convention
with the sentiments I10 hud expressed, and, to
make matters moro binding, Gannon with-
drew from the contest.
Landoii of New York now unwittingly threw
a fresh bone of contention among the dole-
gates. lie moved that the chair appoint com-
mittees, of nine each, on resolutions, finance,
rules and order of business and constitution.
McGuirk of Iowa was tho first of a series of
amendment makers. He, in stentorian tones
from tho platform, demanded that the com-
mitteeseach contain a representative front
every state.
Sharon of Iowa warmly supported tho pro-
posed change, declaring that while tho com-
mittees 111.glit perhaps oe as proj>erly mado
up by ottteers of tho convention, they were
there to suit the expression of tho delegates
as a whole, and the method must not only be
right but above suspicion. The committors
should, he urged, represent tho convention
beyond all peradventure. Upon that ques-
tion, ho warmly stated, might hinge the con-
tinued existence of their organization.
With much discussion aud an extraordinary
parliamentary tangle the struggle ended in
tho acquiescence of the convention, by a good
majority, iu the plan of having a complete
recognition of all states in the makeup of tho
committees and a recess was taken to,afford
the various delegations an opportunity to
select their uien.
The committee on resolutions was ono in
which the greatest interest was taken and the
list disclosed a number of well-known names,
ineluding Paniel Corkery, Chicago: J. T.
Morris, Baltimore; M. V. Gannon, Omaha;
I)r. O'Reilly, St. Louis, and Hugh J. Carroll,
Providence, it. I.
Daniel Corkery of Chicago secured from the
chair a ruling that all resolutions should, un-
der the by-laws of the last convention, which
were still in force, be referred to the com-
mittee on resolutions before being passed
upon by the convention.
The various committees wero instructed to
hold their meetings to-night and bo ready to •
rei>ort to-inorrow at 10o'clock sharp, to which
time tho convention adjourned.
The resolution committee, it is said, would
have an nil night sitting.
Ctovernor Campbell Talks.
Cleveland, ()., Oct. 1.—A special from
Steubonville, 0., to the Plain Dealer says that
Governor Campbell and party arrived there
at 2.30 o'clock from Pittsburg. In Pittsburg
he was called upon by a number of the lead-
ing democrats of that plaoo.
When the train arrived at Steubenville there
wore fully 16,000 people on hand. The gover-
nor was given a most noisy reception, after
which he was driven to tho opera house, whore
a magnificent audience was awaiting hun.
Hon. J. S. Trainor was chosen chairman of
the meeting. Governor Campbell was in flno
condition and a most happy mood. When he
stepped to the front of tno platform he held
in nis hand a handsome largo peach, which
had been presented to him by a Pittsburg ad-
mirer.
The governor exhibited the peach to tho
audience aud said:
"Here is ono of tho fruits of protection in
the state of Pennsylvania. When I was a boy,
during the days of tho democratic low tariff,
tho peachos wero small and hard. Now we
have a high tariff and big i>eachcs."
Tho governor's bit of sarcasm nut the au-
dience in a good humor, and as no jumped
from one comparison to another, showing the
inconsistency of tho claims of high tariff
orators and newspapers, ho carried tho au-
dience in the closest attention.
"I am tired of hearing these high sounding
platitudes about America for Americans. I
am in favor of America for Americans, but I
am also in favor of the American voters doing
a little for themselves. This cheap style of
gush no longer obscures thu real issues,"
said he.

A NEW SCHEDULE OF BATES ON
GRAIN
From Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska-
Seaboard Brought Nearer the
Western Farmers.
■Tlie
Chicago, 111., Oct. 1.—[Special]—Chairman
Fait horn of tho Southwestern railway and
steamship association has issued a circular an-
nouncing a new schedule of rates on grain
from Missouri, Kansas ami Nebraska to Gal-
veston for export shipments.
From tho territory south and east of a direct
lino drawn from St. Joseph to Atchison, and
thenco via the Valley Falls to Coifeyville, tho
rates are to bo tho same as from Kansas City
to Now Orleans, which at present are 81 cents
on wheat, 20 cents on oats and 27 cents on
corn.
From points west of that territory tho New
Orleans rates aro also to apply, except that
from stations on the line of tho Atchison road
between Topeka and Arkansas City, via New-
ton, tho rates authorized are 34 cents on
wheat, 30 cents on oats nnd 29 cents on corn.
The now tariff becomes effective October 1.
Naturally it is uoi liked by the Chicago roads
that tap the same territory in K usas and
Nebraska, as it means a still greater diversion
of business from their lines.
The rates to Galveston aro only a fow conts
higher than those to Chicago, and so far as tho
cost of transportation is concerned the sea-
board is brought 500 or 000 miles nearer to tho
western farmer than it is by the Chicago
route.
A short timo ago tho commissioners ordered
the Atchison road to take out its low rates to
Galveston. Tho new tariff does not conform
with that order, and it seems to emphasize tho
determination of the Southwestern railway
and stenmship association to control its own
affairs independently of tho Western traffic
association.
