Projection of Umnires.

The country has been agitated from time
to time by demands on the government
for the protection of the negroes, the In
dams, the Cinnamon, and various special
classes or communities. 1t is claimed
that even criminals are entitled to a GER
tain amount OF protection from the law
full authorities, and no man dare modest
the person or property of an alien who is
the citizen or subject of any country that
is able to extend Its protection over such
citizen or subject, abroad as we'll as at
home.
1t seems that the only class in this
country that has been effectually out
lawed consists of base ball umpires.
There is scarcely city in the Union in
which umpires have not been subjected
to personal abuse, if not actual assault,
and 1t seems that In some instances the
law has been pOwerless to protect them.
Probably umpires are not always per-
feet gentlemen or impartial judges. 1t
seems that while the salaries are fair the
position is not such as to command the
best judicial or special talent the country
affords. Umpires, being but human, are
prone to err, but whether the errors are
those of the head or the heart, they are
not often the recipient of the divine bless
ing of forgiveness.
Some umpires are certainly pretty
tough citizens. If they were not they
would probably not remain umpires long.
One in St. Louis has taken $3.50 worth of
''lOw personal abuse" from the captain of
. hn oIn nd knn
fines to that amount to balance the ac-
count. Indeed in some parts OF the West
an umpire has to have the cheek of
Chicago drummer and the gall of a road
agent to command any degree of respect
whatever.
The fact is, umpires have been treated
so badly out West that President Wikotf,
of the American Association, has had to
issue proclamation asserting his inten-
ton TO see that they are protected, and it
is said that the proclamation is likely to
raise a row in the association. The
Eastern clubs, 1t seems, are in favor of
giving the umpires a chance, and it is
thought special meeting of the Ameri-
can Association will be held soon
to take action on the subject.
1t is not likely that umpires will
be treated with much respect as long as
gambling on base ball is as common as it
is. Umpires can buy pools as we'll as
players and spectators can, although they
may have to do so by proxy. If the UNI
pires, as well as the players and specta-
tors, are gambling on the games il is per-
haps too much to expect fair umpiring
uniform good playing, or unbiased judg-
ment on the part of spectators; and 1T is
perhaps, also, too much to expect the
game to be respected and admired by the
better people of the country.
Let gambling on base ball be prohibited
and clean games, orderly spectators, and
straight umpiring Will be in order.

BETRAYED AND MURDERED.
An Indiana Girl Follows Her False Lover to
Georgia, Where She Is Decoyed to Death.

Chattanooga tTenn.) Special
The foul murder of the unknown woman in
Whitfield county, Georgia, few miles from
Dalton, has thrown that section into the wild
est excitement, which is being intensified as
new discoveries are made. Two men passing
through the woods had occasion to cross Mill
creek, and saw the dead body of woman
lying in the creek. When it was removed, to
their horror. they found two ugly holes in her
skull from which the brains were oozng The
womans body was clad in an old wrapper tied
on with Irvine, and her feet we're bare. The
chestnut brown hair of the murdered girl was
in disheveled locks over her shoulders. A great
mystery surrounded the affair for WHILE as no
one could identify the girl and she had never
been in that section. About the time
it had been decided to bury her body, Robert
Springfield liveryman, made startling
discovery. He had started out driving in
buggy, when. to his horror, he
found one side Of the seat covered with fresh
clos of blood and hair He remembered having
hired the buggy the night previous to young
man named Charles Patton The suspicion
dawned on his mind, quick as thought, that he
had obtained clew to the horrible murder, and
he notified the officers. They went to Patton
room during his absence. and found a vase
filed with woman's clothing covered with blood
Within ten minutes Patton was arrested, and a
little later he and his chum, Will Mailman, were
in JAIL charged with the awful murder. The
web of evidence began to draw closer and closer
around the men the mystery unraveled, and
an angry crowd gathered in the streets. The
two men begged Sheriff Poorch not to allow
them to be lynched, protesting that they were
innocent of the crime Patton came to Dalton
recently from Indiana, and being young man
of good address secured employment.
1t appears that before he left
Indiana he seduced his sweetheart under prom
Use of marriage, and then fed The girl, when
she found that she had been betrayed, followed
Patton to Dalton. hoping that she might induce
him TO carry out his promise and marry her.
When she met him in Dalton he professed the
greatest love for the girl and took her out rid
ing in the buggy on which was found the blood.
When they reached a secluded spot, Patton took
a Ratchet and deliberately split her head open.
The murderer then stripped his victim, placed
the old wrapper on her body and threw it into
the creek The name OF the murdered girl has
not yet been learned. An autopsy was held,
which revealed the fact that she was enceinte

TIE TELEPHONE SUITS.
Judge Sage Delivers Ruling Which FayOrs
the Claims of the Bell Company.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 1.-THE opinion of the
United States Circuit Court in the case of the
government against the American Bell Tele-
phone Company was delivered this morning by
Judge Sage. 1t is very voluminous, and is in
favor of the American Bell Telephone Com
pany. Taking up first the defendants mo tion
to quash the return, the court granted the mo-
ton on the ground that the service, according
to the marshals return. had been made upon
local corporations in Ohio designated in the re-
turn as agents and partners of the defendant.
The court found that the local corporations
were not such agents as are contemplated by
the Ohio statute defining the method of obtain
ing service upon foreign corporations in Ohio
Taking up, them the plea In abatement, which,
by the election of the government, had been set
down for4nrgument instead of being put in
issue, and thereby became entitled to treat
mert by the court as if its statements had ali
been established by proof. the court found
that the proper elements for giving this court
jurisdiction; first, carrying on business in Ohio:
second, carrying on business il Ohio through a
general agent and third a local statute provid-
ing that service should be made on such general
or managing agent, did not exist. The telephone
business IN Ohio is done by local companies, who
lease instruments from the parent company.
There is no general or managing agent of the
parent company in Ohio AS to the claim OF the
government that the dealing in a patsnt made the
company domestic in the entire territory OF the
United States coexistent with the patent, the
court held that it could not be sustained. The
grant to patentee is the right to exclude others
from making or selling his patent His right to
sell is only the common law right, and is not a
franchise from the government The bill was
dismissed for want of jurisdiction and without
prejudice to instituting suit elsewhere.

The hall at the corner OF Sixth and Q

who paid 10 cents to see Salvation Army

Ing. This consisted chiefly Of a large num-
Der Of experiences by the soldiers and con-

TO heaven Just as he was. Enoch went to
his celestial home in chariot Of fire and
he wanted 10 do the same. A sounding
"hallelujah" seemed to indicate that they
all thought his expectations would be real

OF small boys, the "captain Of the bare

One man was experiencing his fist sober
Thanksgiving Day IN thirty years, and
another explained his presence by saying
his wife Gied two months ago and as he
wanted to meet her In heaven Of course he
had to be converted.
When the time for the halleluiah marriage
was announced, Maj. Inman read the Bible
and told story Of the evils Of an ungodly
marriage, and said that converted man
who had married an unconverted soul had
backslided, gone hellward, and there shook
his fiery finger at his better half, who was
scorching, and blamed II all on her. The
marriage service, as read by Capt. Wright,
