OMETIIISG like a "scrnp" between a couple of boys was tbe game at Allan dale yesterday alter noon for n while one of the hoys, a parently outclass ing the other jircat ly,was decidedly on top, but the smaller oy rallied, sparred lor wind, nnaliy, nutapliorically speaking Rot his nppo ncnt's toe m his mouth and the battle as liis'n. The contest was bctwLc'n the We 'I ns Kcds ) and You Tns ( Illucs I, teams made up of the business and professional men f the city, who played for the benefit of that excellent institution, tbe Asheville Library. There was a larjjc attendance in the grounds and the j-rand stand was bouquet of handsomeness, to such an xtcnt hud the ladies taken an interest n the "co," The colors of the teams were to lie seen in prolusion, while bugles and bicycle alarms kept up an incessant noise as the ) tilers applauded a play. It was iitst 4:.il) when l-mpire Kov Williams put the ball in plav, with the lllti's, including oe Uickerson and liuzz in the field. Nichols was the first batter for the Kcds, and he took his base on ills. Gordon was the first victim, toss- i it a II v where KuniDotiKhs basket scooped it. Reynolds drove down to second bv ("fa"-' ' error by lireer, nil Ionian wasn't satisfied till he roosted on third alter llickerson (and Buzz) had erred henutilully. Ituird started off on I'urmau's error and made the fourth tally, Randolph and Fletcher making the side out. When the Illucs went to nnt it was a snort shritt. Pur- man wus the solitary scorer, Mcl.oud dying on a skate home and Uagan and Urcvard dying on Hies that were big enough to pluck. 1 he second inning was a regular 1 exns Democratic procession for the Kcds, nothing pacilving them except 11 runs. Stikclcather anil Kaysor were of such iniiKiisc size that Mcl.oud couldn't keen Irotn hitting tliein and it meant a base for each. Nichols knocked a win to Urevanl, hut bclore the ball came in was found the batter had scored Reynolds paddled down to second when rccr waited to catch the Mjliere on the Kiiince, and Ilaird knocked a soil skim mcr past 1'iirinan, Brevard and Lipinsky, tnu the latter could nt even stop it In lying down on it. Randolph got in two bagger and rletcher took a single to left and with a true conception of the l'hvsician, heel thyself injunction ran over and nearly knocked out McLoud who was at the plate to keep nun oil. West, Stikeleather and Kaysor struck out. The lilucs did not belie their color as they marched into their half, Cosby was first out by a plav between second and tirst. Collins made a hit and by dint of good running and sliding came in before Rogers and Greer sent the team to grass. bvcrything now seemed lavorahle to something like fO to 10 in favor of the Reds, but the lilucs put Collins in the box, and the uphill climb began right there. Davis caught the new twirler's first ball on his willow, but was unlucky enough to knock it to the pitcher, who recognized it as Ins owucst own and cabbaged it. West was the otic scorer lor the side. Reagan slued his bat alter 1 ball, but finally got to first on a wild throw from Rogers to Hagan. Ile never came round, However, ns .vermis anil Reynolds were mowed down by the Ice landic curves. It did the Illucs no good to come in tor their half. Kumbougli and I hrash were played out by the pitcher and the third baseman and first. 1 here was a great shout us Diekersoii caught up his hat and trundled Ins pon derous frame to the plate. Wondering where the shout came in, he looked down and there stood Buzz, apparently utterly nonplussed over this Ireak ol his mas ter. Hut, although Dickerson hit the ball.it was only to sec it caughtat third. Ionian made twice one in the fourth because of Greer's error, but it didn't avail, as he died on third. Ran dolph got a clean hit, but expired on the home stretch. Mctcher struck out. Ilaird was the only Kcd to score, nnd would not have got that but for a wild throw Irotn Rogers to first. The Illucs strode to the bat with the air ol men determined to do or die, and they lid four.

The Sheriff of Buncombe county is in charge of The Citien, its plant and its fixtures, its good will and its bad will if it has any ; its subscription list and its books and papers in possession of every thing but its brains. The facts leading up to this extraordi nary state of affairs have already ob tained some circulation in one form and another on the street, and, if they are not to do us serious harm in their report from one person to another, they must be explained at some length. In any use it is probable that considerable harm has already been done, for no kind of property that is built up by the hand ind brain of man is more susceptible to njtiry from the attack of the envious or the assaults of the malicious. Let but u newspaper lose the respect of the com munity, and not only is its influence gone, but so also is its b-isincss and its profits. We do not believe Tub Citizen has lost the respect of the people of Asheville whose respect is worth retain ing, but it has been marked out for an attack that is calculated and meant to destroy it utterly if that attack be suc cessful. . Two years ago last February Thomas W. I'atton was a part owner of The Citizen, bis share being one-fourth in the newspaper and one-half in tbe job business conducted bv the Randolph- Kerr Printing company. Some weeks previous T. W. Putton conceived that The Citizen had done him some wrong in the publication of an item clipped from the Asheville Baptist, and he began, or, perhaps it is proper to say, only started to begin a suit for the appoint ment of a receiver of the paper. In the bill of complaint which got as far as the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court, and no farther, several assertions were made that were totally incorrect one being to the effect that the plaintiff, to-wit, the nloresaid i'atton, had been refused access to the books of the con cern, the fact being that not only was he welcome to examine the books, but also several statements were prepared almost solely for him and given to him, show ing the exact condition of tbe affairs of the newspaper and job office. Moreover, there having been some profits in the meantime something that had never been known under the I'atton manage mentthe aforesaid i'atton received ol his share of them more than the other members of the concern did. l-'enring that the purpose of Thomas W. I'atton was to wreck The Citizen the present owners endeavored to save what they had built up without his aid or advice for he was totally without knowledge of how to conduct the busi ncss of a newspaper, having made a con 8picuous failure in an attempt to eon duet Tun Citizen and took up the heavy burden of buying out T. W. Patton. It was difficult to t fleet this, for T. W. Pat ton, knowing that Tin: Citizen had ac- luired a value and n reputation in this community that be had been unable to give it, stood out for an extortionate sum for his interest in the newspaper. Negotiations were finally concluded, and the present owners of The Citizen became the sole owners of the paper and job ofTu-s', we agreeing to pay T. W. Pat ton $.1,31)0 for all his interest in both branches of the business. Wc gave T. W. I'atton six notes, with the paper nnd job ollicc ns security (Sec book of mort gages No. !.".), page o.'i, in the office of the Register of Deeds of Buncombe county I. Business wus then encourng ing, and by taking out no profits and by drawing only insignificant salaries wc were not only able to meet the first note, but also to pay small amounts on the second before it became due. Soon, how ever, came the depression in business that was shared in by everybody, nnd the advertising of The Citizen and the piofits of the job ollicc fell oil' materially. Wc continued, nevertheless, to meet all bills promptly and to pay out in cash every Saturday in the neighborhood of $200 to employes of the newspoier and the job office. Later the business situa tion became woise, and when the second note became ilue, on the 20th of Pcb ruary, lH'.ll , wcwerc unublc to meet it in lull. However on March 5 wc paid $500 ou the note interest and all this note amounted to about $1,100 not for the moment believing that we should be troubled if we did all that was possible under the circumstances. At the time of this payment T. W. Patton gave no inti mation that he was dissatisfied with what had been or was being done. Then TRIED TO BUY SENATORS DESPERATION OF THE OPPO NENTS TO WILSON BILL. An Attempt Made to Buy Two I'ultcd states Senators' Vote Against the Tariff Blll-Naiurs of Bribers Not Made Public. Washington, May 10. Senator Hun ton of Virginia and Senator Kyle of South Dakota I the latter through bis clerk) this morning admitted the truth' of a published statement that they had been approached and offered money for their votes against tbe tariff bill, al though both gentlemen declined to name the men who made the offer. The story was published in full in a New York paper this morning and, with the exception of matters of detail, was substantially correct. Yes," said llunton, "the story is ror- rcct, although I am sorry that it has been made public. It happened more than a month ago and I immediately notified the managers of the bill on the floor of the Senate, and it is in their hands for such action as they may see fit to make. The offer was not made to me personally, but through my son, the sum to be paid being fixed nt $25,000 by tfie man who attempted the bribe. .no, 1 cannot gi re the name of tbe man who sought to get my vote." cienator Kyle is out ol theuty. THE REVIVAL. Or. Brouicbtou's Sermon on Wliat shall I Do With Jesus?" Dr. Broughton's text last evening at tbe First Baptist church was, "What shall I do with esus ?" The preacher said in the course of the sermon : "This is the greatest question before you. Sum up all questions of vital interest, still this is the most important. You must deciic now. Jesus is on trial; your soul is on trial. The verdict must here and now be given. You may admire csus, Most ol you esteem the matchless ex ample ot llis hie. homcol you desire Him and expect to accent Him some day still He is not your Savior. The wise course for you is to make a complete sur render to Him, 1 bis means salvation. "Accept Him for what He promises to do for you. He promises to fill your heart with His love and joy. He prom ises to take you to heaven. You may think of heaven as a long wav off. It is not; it is nigh you. There is a heaven the Christian feels its attractions. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. The meetings are growing in power, There were 10 professions of faith and several backsliders were reclaimed. Dr. Broughton is an earnest and fluent speaker. Services this evening nt 8 o'clock, and tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock; subject, "The Dead Church." All Christians arc invited to join in the services. A WINNING PHYSICIAN.
