Smith, late freight agent of the Peru division of the Wabash, has been appointed general freight agent of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago And now the Wabash is clawing for the "horns" again, with every prospect of* getting and holding the same, and all over a little fast time on freight, as ungal. The case of McClure vs. Wabach railway company, suit for damages oceasioned by killing a freight brakeman, was tried at Danville, Ill., on Saturday. and resulted in a verdict for defendant after a more than usually exciting legal contest. Car 17,059 (Red Line) left Thirtythird street, New York, for Decatur, Ill., via East Buffalo and the Wabash on the 20th inst.. "Train No. 89, of which car 17,059 was a part, arrived Decatur at 5:30 p. m. on' May 23, making three days from New York to Decatur. Vice President Hoxie, of the Wabash system, says that it was untortunate for the Wabash people that they did not lease or purchase the Indianapolis and Vincennes road of the Peuneylvania company, rather than the Danville and South western, to connect the Cairo and Vincennes road with their system via Indianapolis, as the Wabash would then have had the short-out reute to the southwest. Some time ago a Grundy county, Ill., farmer had a bull calf that bucked the cannen-ball train of the Wabash, with such resuls that the owner sued the railway company for $1,000 damages. A jury assed the damage at $500, and the railway people were to have the calf. On the strength of this the legal lights of the Wabash sa'w large dividends accruing from the premiums gained by the exhibition of fancy stock at country fairs, and they cheerfully paid the judgment and costa. Unfortunately the bull died the day after settlement, and the railroad lawyers are, as usual, lamenting their "hard luck. UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN. The Game of Base Ball Last Night by the Electrie Light a Novel If Not a Spectacle- An Immense Audience -The Historie Nines. Last night was the occurrence of the long looked-for event that was to make Fort Wayne historic and cause her name to be mentioned wherever civilization extended. Base ball is the American National game, but it was reserved for this city to be the first the world to play it at night, and by the rays of an artificial sun. The Jenney electrio) light company had surrounded League park with seventeen lights of 4 000 candle power each, an amount of light equal to 4,857 ordinary gas burners. Reflectors were arranged, behind portion of the lights so as to throw their rays up in the air, that the sky-scraping fles might •be seen, while the rest Illuminated the diamond. The degree of illumination was such that the game was played well, although an alarming number of strikes were called by Umpire Morrisey. It also noticed that when playors looked directly toward one of the lamps they often had to shade their eyes with their hats. The audience in attendance was a very large one and although the turnstile registered 1,676 admissions there were at least 2,000 people present, dead-heads and those who crawled over the fence filly 400 more. The scene when the game was in progress was a brilliant. and • novel one. The grandst and crowded to overflowing was as light as midday and the elegant toilettes of of the ladies showed to as good advantage as if in the full glare of the ball room, and in faot better for the electrio light shows colors the same as sunlight. All around the park was the thick outer darkness but within was apparently a charmed enclosure where the sun had focused its rays while the restof the world lay in darkness. In brilliancy and splendor the spectsole was a great success but as a specimen of ball playing it was a very poor one. A club of boys known as the M. E. college nine, were pitted against the Quincy professionals. The club was, Stemen, 8. 8.; Doucollege gal, Long. lat b.; Bittinger, o. 1. f.; Mgok, p.; r. f.; Allen, f.; Wood, 20. Bleekman, 8d b.; Bender, c. Only b.; seven innings were played and the score is as follows: 12 8 4 5 6 7 College : 0 01 8 4 5 1.0 2 0 5-11 Quincey 2 1 8-19 Struck out Collage, 8; Quincy, 6. Runs earned - College, 8; Quinoy, 11. Base hits- -College, 11; Quincy, -19. Errors -College, 12; Quincy, 6, Passed balls--College, 5; Quincy, 4. The result of the game last night, and which had more special tele-* grams sent from here about it than any other affair that ever ocourred, proves that base ball can' be played by electricity, but there must be more lights. With double the number of lamps the game could be played with success. NOTES. The game will be repeated soon. Only a plain white ball was used. It was trying to the eyes to watch the ball. Chief Diehl had a big police force present. Many of the spectators left before it' was over. The correspondents generally spoke favorably of the exhibition. There was much growling that the Fort Wayne professionals did not play. The audience overflowed into the enclosure and was packed all around the fleld. The Electric Light company received all proceeds after the sale of 400 tickets and netted over $300. All the operators at Western Union telegraph office were kept busy sending the lengthy specials to metropolitan telegraph office were kept busy sending the lengthy specials to metropolitan papers.
