CAPTAIN POWER.

The Californian Receives Great Praise
IN the East.
The following account of Tom Powers
appearance in the East is taken from the
Baltimore Sun:
Power wore a gray Baltimore uniform
for the first time in his natural life, and shed
halo of credit around the name on his
breast and the whole team. Judging from
the one game in which he has appeared, he
is the one man Manager Barnie has been
looking for with dark lantern
for years. Just before the game the
manager gathered his men together
in the hotel and informed them that
although Power had begged to be ex-
cused from the honor he had decided to APP
point him captain of the club. "OrganiZa-
ten goes a great way toward success" Mr..
Barnie went on to say, and he expressed
the hope that the players would yield to
the new leaders rule with proper discip-
line. Then his audience went out to the
grounds and Power took command OF the
club like born general. and worked very
much upon the principles LAID down by
| Comiskey. He kept his eye constantly

kicker. however, Powers talents shine
with a conspicuous luster, which is not dim
in comparison with those of the great King
Kelly or anybody else. He keeps con-
tinual battery of eloquence on hand ready
TO fire at the umpire. and although he made
the arbiter of to-day's contest feel that half
life's charms had flown before he was
through with him, he did it in quiet,
shrewd manner devoid of loud or rufianly
noise, which was in striking contrast to the
ways of other great coaches. The new

SUSPICIOUS DEATHS.
Another Victim of a Supposed
Criminal Operation.

Mrs. Hattie McElheran. handsome
widow of % years, who lived at 200 Nine
teenth street, died late on Wednesday night
from the effects of criminal operation al
legged to have been committed by midwife
named Mrs. NJ. L. Rogers. living on Folsom
street, near Sixth.
The latter was arrested yesterday after
noon by Detective Hutton, but no charge
was placed against her, as she denied the
accusation streDuously, and it was alto
getber matter of one womaD's word
against another's.
Mrs. McElheran had been a widow for
two years, and lived in her fathers house
with her two children. Before she died
she made a confession to DR.. Z. Donnely
of 103 Van Ness avenue, who had been
called in to attend her. The Board of
Health was notified of her death, and in
turn the Coroner.
DR.. Donnelly found her in very critical
condition owing to the criminal operation
which had been performed n short time
previously. and refused to sign her death
certificate subsequently. She suffered in
tense agony for TOUR days previous to her
death, and at times became delirious.
She had always borne a good name, and
when about 10 become mother took ex-
IRENE measures to preserve her character
in the eyes of friends. The man who is
accountable for her disgrace and sad end is
not known.
Mrs Rogers at first admitted to the de-
tective that she had attended the deceased,
and would give further advice in similar
cases. The detective then revealed his
identity, and she denied any knowledge of
the case. She was taken to the City Prison
and detained pending an Investigation. She
would not say anything about the matter,
thinking best to keep silent.
The deceased's sister told Detective Hut
ton and Deputy Coroner Magner that she
(Alrs. MeElheran) bad made confession to
her relatives, blaming the midwife for her
condition.
An autopsy was held OF the body last
night, and 1t was found that death had been
caused by hemorrhage and shock. Mrs
Rogers was released from custody by order
OF the Chief of Police.
