Wc are Inlorined by the Secretary of
the Ccutrulia base ball club, that up to
the present time no answer to the chal
lenge of the Centralla boys luis been re
ceived from the Idewild club, ol I'adu
call. Tho I'aducah boys are doubtless
holding off for tho purpose of learning
us much as possible In regard to the abil
ity of the Centralla club, us five hundred
dollars Is a "big pile" In these days.
From what wo are told of tho ability or
the latter club nour having seen them
in the field and our knowledge of the
l'uducnli club, we are of the opinion that
there I; but very little difference in them,
and believe that the game, should a
match bu brought about between tliem,
would be one of much Interest nnd hotly
conte-ted.

Quite n little ejil-ode occurred In the
upper end of town ye.-terdny morning,
between two negro men and a wo lan,
nr.med William Green, Henry Jones and
Mr. Green. It seems that William is
the poesor ol a small house, In which
.lames has been living lor some time,
but has failed to pay his rent. Green ha.s
become tired ol waiting, and ordered
dames to "pick up hN bed nnd walk,"
which command thtf latter Individual re
lii'eil to obey, whereupon u light took
place. William wa being worsted in
the fray, and would In all probability
have been the recipient of an unhealthy
beating, had It not been that his wife
reached out and handed Mr. Jones one
square on the iiaal organ, that com
pletely bewildered the gentleman and
unfitted him for further action. He sul
niltted quietly to his defeat, and promised
to vacate the hon'c, whereupon the
whole matter subsided.
"Nile Itnn't I.llte lo In- l.leil Ou "
No little excitement was created ut the
L'lanters' Hoii'e on Wednesday night
about ten o'clock, by the appearance of a
lady who looked as it she was ready to
swallow some one, and w ho hi author!
tatlve tone, Inquired : "Is Mr. In V
meaning a gentleman hailing from Cin
cinnati, who is here in the Interests of
a cii-ar manufacturing hoti-c of that city.
The gentleman, who chained to be stand

he was being so rudely treated, but took
to his heels ami ruhed from tho side

and back Into the dining room, Ids only

reach. Hut he had mistaken hi enemy.
Instead of abandoning the fray and al
lowing the unhappy man to find some
haven of rest, the woman, who seemed to
have her dander up, pursued hhn, laying
on her cow-hide at every step, until she
had fully vented her rage, when she re
tired with the remark, "I'll learn you
who you're lylug on." It seems the
drummer hud at some time sold the wo
man, w ho keeps a little stand ou the
levee, a bill of cigars, w hich he claimed
she had never paid hhn for, and the wo
man, upon hearing the story ns told by
the cigar man, became enraged, and de
termined to seek satisfaction through thu
use of a cow-hide.
