The series of three games I ctween Tarboro and Union, played Mondiy, Tuesday and Wednesday was finished with a defeat for Union. Tarboro won the first game with a score of 5 to 2. Union played a good game and it is said that Newman pitched a winning game, the score stood 2 to 1 in favor of Union up to the nineth inning. Then Tarboro made four runs, by getting the bases full of men on safe hits, and a fir al 3-bag^cr. M-l. .. 1 1 j. lit; Bctuu u gaiiiu ?iia wuu uy Union. At the nineth inning the game stoo l 7 to 3 in fivor of Tarboro. We understand that in the nineth inning the beses got full of Union boys and Ben Townscnd came to the bat and slugged one of his famous home runs, scoring four men and tieiDg the- game. Two more innnings had to be #played to decide the game. In the 11th Newman sent a homing pigeon lrom the bat?the longest hit ever seen in Charlotte, and let Crockett in from the 1st base, and won the game by 3 to 7. Wednesday's game was very close and exciting and was witnessel by i very large audience. Tarboro won y a score of 0 to 4. From the telegraphic reports received by The* rimes, it seems that in the mattor of hits, errors, e?c, Union played lie best ball, although she lost the teries. The Times m ide every effort :o get reports during the progress of :hc gimcs but we were unable to get hem until after the games were over in hour <r so. Wc don't know where the fault lies and will say nothing about it f ?r the present. The games ontinue in Charlotte. i series of three games are now playing between Chatlotte and Union. It is said that as soon astbcTatboro mil Union games were over the players (or a number of them) of the Tarboro'nine pulled off ibe Tarboro uniform and donned the Charlotte uniform. So Union is practically playing the same nine, and though we are deprived of frequent reports of the games we wish the hoys abundant success. 6th Inning Scared Vs. We got two reports from Tuesday's game nt Charlotte. The first came after (5lh inning and said Tarborro 7 Union !J. There was a wave of sadness, ami a lot of somber countenances round about the city*. They were like the little boy the calf ran over, they had little or nothing to say. Tiny looked like they had lost something, or would like to get a whack at the Union nine with a bat or something. They didn't seem to have enough energy left to ask if any more innings were played. But whin an hour later the instrument began again to tell the news, to a faithful few who had not entirely willed, hut still had hope, and these words -came "Union S Tarborro 7." A regular war whoop went up and the news Mew on joyful tyings oyer the Tone, and otherwise Utid soon the whole town knew that our Mack and the champion sluggeri Nownian had once more saved us, and the long faces broadened into smiles on every nana. e leitso goou over this grand victory that we had to send a telegram to the hoys congratulating the whole gang on their victory.

(^uito a sensational trial was held in ihe Mayor's court Monday. The court room was packed until standing room was at a premium. The castwas of an unusual nature, being a case of a knock down tight between three good looking whi t- women, viz : Mrs. Lamb, Mrs. Hughes a?d Miss Dody Courtney. This tight is the same one mentioned in last week's Times. Mrs. Lamb was the prosecutor in the case und Mrs. Hughes and Miss Courtney were the defendants. The defense was represented by V.E. I)e Pass Esq. The particulars of the case as adduced by the evidence are about as follows: On Wednesday morning, a he Oth instant, witnesses heard loud talking und some rough language in the rear of the house occupied by the Hughes' and the Lambs, It is a double house, Mr. Hughes, his wife and Miss Dody board with Mr. Ivev, who occupied one end of tlie house, while Mr. Lamb's family occupy tlm other end. Mrs. Lnmb was said to have been speaking loudest. Mrs. Hughes could n >t be heard. Both ladies went through their respective houses to the front, the next seen of them was Mrs. Hughes approaching Mrs. Latnh saving she wanted to tell her something. Mrs. I,umb seized a piece of plank about six feet long with nails in it and drew it on Mrs. Hughes. Mrs. Hughes grabbed it and twisting it out of her hand, throw It on the ground, then they clinched and a woolpulling a-nd punching match begun. About this time Mr. Hughes eaine up and took his wifo away. Miss Courtney had been standing near in the meantime. It seems that Mrs. Lamb, having no good feeling'toward this young lady, used some abusive language to her and again picked up the plank threatening to strike Miss Courtney with it, who thereupon picked up' an empty k gallon jelly bucket and threw it at Mrs. Lamli who had the plank drawn on her. The bucket struck Mrs. Lamb, who dropped the plank and sank to the ground us Mr. Jack Williford came up, who told them to stop the row as they would have it to pay for. The jury took the ease at 11 o'clock, p. in, and at about 11 returnod a verdict of not guilty. ADVERTISED LETTERS. Remaining in the Post Oflice at I uiou, ri.
