THE LUMP CITY MINER: LUMP CITY, MONTANA. BASE BALL GOSSIP. SKETCHES OF TWO RISING PRO- FESSIONAL PLAYERS. Benxi:tit Collins of the W.tattIngtotta at' Clever 'abort ‚atop M I littgab. ditanapolia• lia- aly Huge Itttnorr rattles of the National Game. eRMAN Collins, of the Washington Club,of the Nation- al League and Amer- ican AssoeltIon, was born April 16, 1$73, at Columbus, O., and learned- to play ball in his na- tive city. His pro- fessional career be- gan in 1894, with the New Orleans Club, of the Southern Association. His excellent work at- tracted the attention of Manager Schmelz, of the Washington Club, and at the close of that seaadn he engaged him for the Washington team. A trial was given to Collins during the early exhibition season, while the Washingtcns were sojourning in the South, and he played very acceptably. HERMAN COLLINS. After the regular championship sea« son began Collins was loaned to the Nashua Club, of the New England Asso- ciation. He played short stop and cap- tained the team until the New Eng- land AssociatIon disbanded, about the Fourth of July. Collins has been cred- ited with several batting and fielding performances. The most noteworthy of his batting feats occurred during the season of 1894, while he was connected alth the New Orleans team. He was credited with five safe hits, including a home run, three double baggers and a single out of six times at the bat. He is young and ambitious and should do well yet. Martin F. Hogan, the speedy base runner and fine fielder of the Indian- apolle Club, of the Western League, was born Oct. 25, 1871, at Wensbury, Eng., and came to this country at an early age. He Idened to play ball at Akron, O., and if 'was with the profes- sional team that represented that city in the Tri-State League during the sea- son of 1893 that he accepted his first engagement. He remained with the Akrons until July 2, of that year, when he joined the Scranton Club, of the Pennsylvania State League. His fine fielding and speedy base running at- tracted the attention of the officials of the Cfncinnati Club, of the National League and American Association, and on Aug. 1,1893, his release was obtained by the Cincinnatis. Later on he was released to the St. Louis Club, of the MARTIN F. HOGAN- same league. He finished the Beason with the latter club, and was re-en- gaged for the season of 1894. After taking part in twenty-nine champion- ship games with the St. Louis team he was released to the Indianapolis Club, of the Western League, where he has since remained. He has shown vast impro‘eieent since 'pining the latter club. anal he will certainly soon be found in the major league ranks again. Manager Sebe says that be is as much under contract to manage the Boston Club next year as he ever has been. \I've never had a written con- tract with them since I've been In Bos- ton. My word and their wool ,vere enough. I have given my word to stay with thcal in 1896, and I'll atay teileas they release me.\ Looking at the whole minor league field, the situation , is wonderful to Con- template. Never since base ball was played were there so many profession- al Ohba In the field at thig season of the year as there are now. It shows the healthy state into which the national game has settled after many years of tribulations and trials. Ed O'Meara, the Memphis man, all the catching for Cleveland in ex hibition games around the country. H( is as .good a backstop as any in tilt country, a splendid hitter, a fair run ner, but rather weak in his throwing His method of using his arm wai wrong and he is learning a great dea in the art of throwing to second. Jesse Burkett, whose batting has ma- terially aided In placing the Clevelane Club where it is, was brought out by Sam Crane in 1888, when the present New York base ball writer was man- ager of the Scranton Club in the East- ern League. Burkett was then a left- handed pitcher, but on July 4 of that year he broke his arm while pitching a ball, and his twirling days ended then and there. The Cleveland3 have not lost a se- ries to any Eastern or Western club this season, and it will be an impossi- bility for them to lose the Eastern series, as they have already won them from Philadelphia, New York, Wash- ington, Brooklyn and hatte tied Boston and won six out of eleven from Balti- more. In th ie Western series they have won from St. Louis and Louisville, but the best they can yet do with Pitts- burg and Cincinnati is to tie.—T. E. S. JUMPED FROM THE BRIDGE. The New Woman Is Rapidly Tatting Man's Place In Life. 1 Woman has encroached upon poth- er field heretofore men's own. One of the sex jumped from the New York and Brooklyn bridge last week. She le Clara McArthur, the woman who had Planned to make the leap two weeks before, but was prevented by the ex- posure of the scheme to the police. This time she accomptished the feat of folly, and though taken unconscious to the Hudson street Hospital, she • revived, and will live to rope in, through some dime museum, as she hopes, the profits which tempted her, At least this was her declared object at the time of the previous alleged attempt. Bridge Po- liceman Gleason is the sole disinterest- ed and official witness, and his testi- mony is only circumstantial evidence. He saw \a man\ on the bridge about half past 4 o'clock in the morning. The figure climbed deer the rail near the New York tower and disappeared. Call- ing on Sergeant Hay for assistance, he made an investigation, but no one was found near where the supposed man was lost sight of, so the bridge police gave it up. About that time Patrol- man Edwards, on post between Piers 16 and 17, East River, was asked to send for an ambulance wagon to take to the hospital a woman picked up un- conscious in the river. Edwards went with the man, who said he was William Hartman, No. '137 Lexington avenue, and in a boat saw an unconscious wo- man. She was dressed in a man's clothes, as women say they must be if they are to compete with men. Around her waist was an American flag, as the museums require. In her stock - CLARA ' , l'ARTHUR. Trigs were weights of sand, as the law of gravitation calls for, to keep a falling body straight, and under her anus were two bladders, which were necessary to keep her afloat.The bladders had burst. The ambulance was called, and the sur- geon, unable to revive the woman, took her a prisoner to the Hudson Street Hospital. and there succeeded in bring- ing her to consciousness. Meanwhile the two men who declared they had picked her up on the bridge, were ar- rested. The second man said he was John McNally, No. 2374 Third avenue. When questioned they were in a queer predicament. They wanted to answer so as to avoid punishment and yet not to deny that the woman had jumped from the bridge. The result was a tharge of attempted, suicide was record- ed against the woman, and of aiding and abetting that offense against her companions. Hartman is Supposed to be McArthur, the husband of the jump- er. , 3TORY OF AY 14 1 ,S11 A. — BY ItIAUBICE WOLFF. Y.. - .;SF1A was the clitid of an ell couple named Ati and Feline W . 30 II‘ed near the viilage of Abassah. She was a lovely girl with eyes of the deepest black and limbs that W3111i1 not have shamed a Venus. yith all her beauty, Ayesha had to toll n the fields to help her parents to eke ut a modest living, as they were very boor. She was well satisfied and -ihought herself sufficiently rewarded when, from time to time, her father be - towed a few plasters upon her, which he hoarded up until she had sufficient o purchase a silver bangle or two with ihich to adorn her person on holidays. :umerous suitors, attracted by her illigence as well as by her beauty, pre - tented themselves, but none was looked loon with favor; Ayésha preferred— he was only in her sixteenth year—to .inain with her aged parents. \It is time, daughter mine,\ said her 'other, \that you were thinking of get- ng Married; you have rejected many rood offers without any reason. Your ether and I are getting old. Were we .0 die, you would be left alone in the world with none to care for or to pro- tect you! I was married when I was but twelve years of age.\ \Time enough, mothee dear,\ would 'eply the young girl. \I am not in any burry to leave you; besides, if I have .0 work, I prefer that my labor should .enefit, my parents instead of a man who may, as likely as not, make me a drudge and a slave. You know that 'early all my suitors have been men n our condition, whose only reason for taking à wife is that they may have temeone to help them in tilling their fields, besides preparing their meals %er them.\ This reply generally closed the dis- 'ussion, and the mother sighed to think 'lbw different Egypt's daughters were, to what they had been in her time. • With her father, it was different! Ayesha was his only child and of too nuch help to him that he should in lily way attempt to influence a decis - ,on which wiluld deprive, him of. her valuable assistance. So matters went on, and by degrees lhe suitors, perceiving that the girl's mind to remain single, at least for the present, was not to be changed, fell ‚ft. Yes, all except one named Nasser. He was the bailiff id a wealthy land- Sevner who lived in Cairo, visiting his estates at 'rare intervals. anil then for as short a time as possible. Few of the tenants had ever seen him, but all agreed that he was a harsh landlord, and that his riches had been amassed by usury and by grinding down the poor peasantry for miles and miles around. It was not to be wondered at then, that he was cordially hated by all, and that Nassar too came in for a full share of the odium cast upon his Master. Yet his love for Ayesha was sincere, and might perhaps make a better man of him. He pressed his Suit Tery earnestly, pointing out to Ayesha bow much bet- ter would be her lot as his wife, than her present position. \As my wife,\ said he, \there will no longer be need for you to toil in the fields, carry heavy jars of water and help to prepare meals. On the contrary, it is you who will be waited upon, have servants at your bed; and call and be C.ecked in silks YOU WILL BF.

Rho as a last re- source threatened to appeal to her fath- er for protection. This threat hail the desired effect; the old man had a heavy hua ail and Nan - ear /lid not care to ter I Its weight. Henceforth, he annoyed Ayesha nit more, even seeming le tuners her pres• enee when chance threw 1.1rn into her %Vfl y. But it he avoided the girl. It was not ?JO same with old Ali, her father, whose .

At last tht old man earn(' t. belBive that Massa; was a m Csh-wronged man, who wou:s, I/ It were only possible, repair mach ot the misery erought by hie master. Meanwhile, ›aetiar laughed in his sleeve at the old man's credulity, and anxiously waited for an opportunity to get him into his power. Fortune, which one seems to favor the designs o: the wicked, at last did so in this case. A heavy full of rain flooded the country and washed away the greater part of the young crops, The season not being too advanced, it was still possible to sow the lande which had suffered over again; but many ot the peasantry were reduced to utter poverty, and had not the where- withal to buy themselves a fresh lot of seeds. Among these there was none worse off than Ayesha's father, whose lands being low and near the river, were still under water. In an evil moment he confided his difficulties to his now made friend, Nasser. \But what am 1 to do?\ said the old man. \how shall I get fresh seed when all my savings of the past year are gone? They went to till and plant those fields that are now under water.\ \Well Nassar,\I see no other way for you but to borrow the money you require. Luckily my master is com- ing down here in a few days and I will put your case before him and get him to lend you what you require. It is true that he is a liard man, but I will feel sure he will make favorable terms for you when I request him to do so out of consideration for me.\ He then left. A couple of days ,iater he returned to say that after a long and stemy discussion with his master, dur- ing which he had threatened to leave him and take service elsewhere, the lat- ter had consented to lend the money re- quired without any interest, only stip- ulating that if the loan were not repaid by a certain date, he should have the right to sell All's property in order to repay himself. This condition was gladly accepted, as by the date named the new crops would have been gathered and sold. An agreement was drawn up and signed by both parties, Nasser signing for his master, who he said had returned te Cairo. Taking advantage of his Intended victim's Inability to read. Nasser con- trived to change the date at which re- payment wou141,,ebeve.. torrbe made; ilk : , stead of its behig six months hence, kif he had told Ali, the loan would he. to be repaid in: as many weeks. Five weeks had already gone by, when one day Nasser, holding an open letter, came to Ali to say that his mas- ter had written to him that he wanted all the ready money he could send him, and that he had to collect every loan made to the peasantry as soon as I% became due. \But mine does not fall due for some time to corne,\ said Ali. \I have us fear but that when the time comes, I shall be quite able to repay it.\ \How Is it,\ asked Nasser, \that my master speaks of your loan as shortly due? Is it possible that he is mistaken as to the date? He writes that your loan has to be repaid by Friday next; you had better let me see the copy you hold of the agreement between you.\ This was brought and sure enough It stated that the loon had to be repaid in six weeks, or the property would have to be sold. To be sold at a time like this, after the disastrous floods of the spring! Why It would barely fetch one-third of its value, and that third would be swal- lowed in - repaying the Sum that had been borrowed. All their neighbors when they came to hear ot it, were loud In their expres- sions of sympathy with the old people, but were too poor to help them out of their difficulties. Nasser, who was a daily visitor, be- wailed his inability to help them. He had, he said, begged his master to con- tent himself with a part payment only, but this had been refused. Had it been accepted he could have advanced the amount himeele It wanted but two days till the time when Ali had to repay the loan, when one evening. Nasser, who now was al- ways with him, as if struck by a sudden thought, exclaimed: \I can only see one way for you out of your difficulty, You have a daughter.; give her to me for a wife. I will then claim your property as her dowry, and not even my master will be able to touch It.\ \I must consult my daughter first,\ replied All, \and if she be willing to have you for her hueband. T see no oh jertion to your plan: but, hark you, 1 love my daughter as the apple of my eye, and would sooner die of hunger than attempt to for , her Inclination.\ Thst evening Ayettha was told of Nasser's proposal and that she could gave her pa rents from beggary in th r i r Old age by .'onsent log to marry him. The girl burst. Into tears; chocking them by en effort, she replied that she would do all thnt b4r 'quty and love for her parente cornandeirf her to do.
