determined to meet at 10 o'clock to-morrow at the Court-house These men appeared to be in dead earnest and trouble probably blocdshed is looked for to-morrow Despite the Mayor's proclamation however to-night the squares about the Jail Are densely packed with men The police have been unable to clear the street for about a half square east and west of the prison but beyond those limits the people are jammed as close together as sardines and no effort so far has been made to disperse them Two companies of militia wait in readiness for the order to march at any moment from the armory some five or six squares away On Market street a crowd of about ICO men are marching up and down each with about a foot of white cotton HOPS VIM TO TIM ARK In a prominent place on the court-house is the illuminated design: "Wanted 600 men to join this mob" Up to this writing good order has prevailed The mob appears to have no leader and appears to be watching out of curiosity for something to turn up

Geneva' Assembly of the State of Tenants that from and after the pomp of this act any person who shall engage in playing base ball cricket or any other game that is played with ball bat or club on the Sabbath day or 'toy person who shall assist encoorage or afid in playing said game on the Sabbath shall be made guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than and not more

exhibition of ball players the only weak spot Whig the pitching of Kirby for the home club In all other respects the Detmits were outplayed with the exception of bass running in which the Detrolters exhibited'a slight superiority The playing of Haalon of the Detroits was especially brilliant his base running was daring and successful and his catch of a long and apparently late hit from Denny's bat was one of the features of the game The batting of Denny Glasscock and Seery of the Indianapolip Club was strong and effective and the gime was lost by reason of Kirby's pitching bleb was so poor

the Matter I Business Suspended in Honor of a Pulpit Orator The locals again defeated the Bluff City pets in an interesting contest yesterday They outplayed the Memphians at every point Mountjoy made hisfirst appearance In the box and pitched a remarkably good game He Demonises wondefful control over the bait Several times after tour balls had been called on him and not a single strike had been called did be retire the m6 at the bat: His strong point is his change of pace which he used very effectively He is also credited with three hits two bases on balls and one bardilue bit to right Taken all in all he promises to be a strong acquisition to the Blues and the management is to be congtatulated on signing so valnable a man Jack Hayes took Mathias' place at second to the satisfaction of all He surprised every one by his activity which was hardly to be expected of so bulky a man He also led in the batting making a bit every time be came to the bat one of which was a long drive in the first for two bags upon which Clinton scored the first run He made his second double-baser later in the game The Jonah' gave the best exhibition of team worl they have yet shown this season Their fielding was sharp and accurate and hit Gorman hard at the opportune momenta Sneed's boys did not play with their accustomed dash and spirit Mountjoy's work and the magnificent support accorded him foamed to discourage them Burks showed great itnprevenient over his previous work at short playing without an error and picking up quite a number of hot grounders one or two of which appeared to be hits Diestel was somewbst off in several of his decisions In the fifth be declared Andrews safe at second when be was clearly out Hayes touching him when several feet from the base This dicision allowed Sneed tit score His Judgment on balls and strikes could not be Improved His firmness and evident intention of umpiring the game without the assistance of either side has effectually put a stop to the kickingand back talk of Sneed and his assistanta The game opened very auspiciously for the home team Clinton led off with a'sharp bit for two bags over third base and Hayes followed with another toleft-center Clinton scoring Hays wgnt to ttird en Maul's grounder to short and out at first and scored on Doyle's error or Reeder's grounder Memphis failed to score until the third inning when Doyle got his base on balls stole second and came home on Andrews' single Nashville made three in the fifth Clinton and Hayes made hits Maul brought them both in on his triple which was one of the longest bits ever made on the grounds Maul came home on the thrown-in of Reader's sky-scraper to Robbie Black's territory which was neatly taken in by the chunky little fielder Memphis also made two runs in this inning on Doyle's base on balls Sneed's bit and Burks' slow handling of Andrews' grounder The locals forced two men across the plate in the sixth Memphis tried bard to tie the score

the south-bound exprees train was stoned one mile and quarter north of town and Mr'Sam Cook a young man of Columbia received a severe scalp wound caused by a stone which knocked him off his seat Deputy United States Marshal Well Vaughan stated that the train was running rapidly and he was sitting by the open windows or the smoking car on the east side and looking out he saw in the moonlight two men one large and the other small just in the act of throwing and one of the rocks crashed threugh the glass window behind him and struck Mr Cook 4- Vaughan quickly drew his pistol and leaned out of the window and fired three shots back at the men and believes he hit one as he fell or squatted down The train Just then entered a deep rocky cut and in two minutes was here at the depot Dr William Turner happened to be on the train and bound up Cook's head who went home to Columbia Sneaker Ewing of Pulaski Capt Fusee of Columbia State Treasurer Thomas and others were passengers and there was considerable excitement in the ears when it became known No cause can be assigned for such a malicious act and no one 18 yet discovered or suspected Superintendent Geddes offers 50 reward for the

says he was Sitting at the car window and saw two men a large and small man near the track He saw their purpose before the stones were thrown and dodged one of the stones struck just above his head He immediately drew his pistol and opened fire The email man threw himself to the ground as the pistol was drawn but the large one ran for the fence Vaughan fired Just as he reached the fence and fired again lust as the man got on top in the act of climbing over At the shot the man fell back to the ground on the side nearest the train Vaughan thinks the man Dennis who was brought into Franklin wounded is one of the men who threw the stones Hie size re says corresponds with that of the man he shot at Vaughan also thinks that the stones were aimed at himself and says that he knows that Dennis the wounded man bears him The location of Dennis' wound in the left side is also corroborative of the theory that he was one of the stone-throwers ail the man he fired at had his left side turned to him elected Dr Strickland was called on to pray for divine guidance in the deliberations Dr Fitzgerald said that it Whig so well understood what the object ot the gathering was It wea not necessary to go Into details The clergymen of whom he was glad to see so many present be hoped would not be con- spicuous on the wallop bat would let the laity 'peak He himself as gratified to see such a repreeentative garheriug preeent to put up a protest against the repetition of such a flagrant violation oTthe law as took place last tkaday in the playing of base ball at the park On the couclusion of his remarks on motion of Judge Whitworth the members of the press a e're chosen secretaries Judge East then introduced the following resolutions: 4 RESOLUTIONS Whereas the Christian Sabbath is a cherished institution of our American civilization recognised in the forms and usages of our national State and municipal governments inwrought into the very texture of our social organization and Whereas it is a truth affirmed by the law of God and confirmed by the Jiniversal ex patience of mankind that cue day in seven is needed for rest to all wo kers whether of brain or muscle and Whereas it is evident that in proportion as the sanctify and quiet of the Christian Sabbath are destroyed the most valuable features of our Christian civiniation are imperiled and Whereas In recognition of these truths the Legislatum of Tennessee representing its people ha enacted Jaws guarding the Sabbath day- by prohibiting base ball cricket and games played with bat or club thereon and Whereas good citizens of all shades of 'political and religious opinion yield a ready and cheerful obedience to these statutes enacted for the general welfais and Whereas so strong was public opinion in Support of thee wholesome laws that all efforts to effect their repeal have signally failed and Whereas in the face of all thus fade 'certain parties did on Sunday April 24 1887 openly and flagrantly violate the statutes referred to by playing base ball under circumstances peculiarly shameless and defiant and Whereas no arepts were made and so far as we are informed no effort was made by the officers of the law to prevent this offense against law and order and against the good name of our city therefore Resolved that we the citizens of Nash-title in mass meeting assembled hereby express our hearty condemnation of this violation of law acid defiance of public opinion Resolved that we approve the action taken by our City Councilt in condemning this law-breaking Resolved that we pledge ourselves as law-abiding citizens to co-operate in all proper and practical measures to secure obedience to the law and to visit offenders With its penalties THE DISCUSSION Judge East said very little could be said outside of the resolutions That if violation of the law on Sunday base ball playing were tolerated the gamblers would defy the law regarding them and so with all other classes of violators The way to put a stop to the violation wu to suppress it in the beginning He alluded to the boldness of the playing last Sunday and condemned the officers for not taking action to stop it and expressed a feeling of certainty that the grand jury Monday would have a say in regard to the matter Judge East then spoke of the commandment in the Bible on which the law was of keeping Sunday a day of rest He concluded by saying that If a violation of the statutes in one respect was permitted it would be impossible to keep it from being trampled on in all DR roars being on the committee of speakers Was called 'on He said be agreed with Judge East and then dwelt feelingly on the keep lug of the Sabbath and its violation lard Sunday He said that it was one of the most serious questions that had presented itself for many years He asked how long Nashville could maintain its reputation as an educational center things were tolerated and said that parents would not send their children to a city officers of the law were seemingly so unmindful of duty JUDGE JoHN rarmau was next asked to speak He took up the argument that had been presented that Sulday base ball would keep people out of something worse and said that this was absurd If this base ball playing on Sunday was permitted this country would Cease to be tree America He said in the second place that the law of the State ought to be observed because it was a law and that he did not believe that the charge against the city and county officials of non-attention to duty was true but if it were true he was willing to join himself to a league to see that the law was carried out There is no telling what might become of the community it the officers and citizens winked at violations of any sort JUDGE JANES WRITWORM said he thought there were few persons who were acquainted with the act passed by the Legislature in regard to the playing of games like base ball and read the act and also read the provision in the city code which renders all players liable to a fine of $10 The resolution Introduced by Mr Rhea in the City Council was commented on by the Judge saying that its deference to the grand jury in the matter of base ball playing was not in accord with what the city officials were required to do in other When a fight occurs the police arrest the parties and do not wait for the grand jury to come along and indict them He said if be were Attorney General he would have not only all the players but those who were spectators indicted If this thing occurred again the City Connell aid the eBig Three" and the Chief of Police were responsible and if thou officers couldn't have the law carried Out a new organization which could do so ought to be RotociAqt PRESIDENT CEAvArat of Pet University was called for
