ON THE RAMPAGE.
Jeff. Lever Makes Vinegar Bottom g
Place of Terror to Women and
Children.

jeff. Lever was on one of his howl
ing DRINKS yesterday, and the way
he stirred up Vinegar Bottom was a
caution. He scared women and chill
dren almost to death, ran them away
from home at the point of pistol
and fought like a tiger. The first
place he visited was the residence of
Polk Ritter. Mrs. Ritter and several
small children were in the house
alone. JEFF. ordered them Out, and
when Mrs. Ritter refused to go he
jerked a pistol from his pocket and
began firing ii in the house in his
drunken rage. The lady and her
children ran from home screaming
for help, but it seems that no one
was in sight who could kill the brute.
Mrs. Ritter and children took shelter
in neighbours house and the drunk
en- sot went on in his devilment.
The next house he visited was that
of Ihos. Keel. Mr. Keel was sitting
on his porch when JEFF. arrived and
ordered him to 60 into the house and
stay there, Keel had no thought of
allowing man to come in his house
and ordering him around ard began
demonstrating with his visitor. Lever
in second drew a pistol and
snapped it in Keels face. The
weapon failed to fire, whereupon
Keel swung a chair high over his
head and knocked his assailant clear
from the porch. He came back,
however, but by this time Mr.. Keel
had out his knife and charged on
JEFF, who beat hasty retreat, firing
three shots at Keel as he ran.
From this place he went to the res
idence of VIM. Wayne and wanted
to borrow shot gun. Mr.. Wayne
refused to let him have it, but jeff
had come for gun and have it he
must. Without any further parley
he deliberately took the gun, and
walked off with it.
BY this time the whole
country was aroused and run
ners were despatched for officers.
G. w. Station and Policeman Robin
son went out and tried to find the
belIigerent but could not do so.
Later in the night another search
was made for him by Pat Ginley and
Sheriff Station, but without effect,
The officers are still after him with a
States warrant and will likely jug
him to-day. The South GAINESVILLE
people are very indignant over the
matter, and some of them say openly
that he must be squelched.

Attention, street COMMITTEES.

The attention of the Street COM
mittee is calel TO the pavement in
front of the property of G. G. Carlisle
and Il. Click, on Main street. When
a rain comes the water from CLIPS
livery stable and also that which falls
in the alley leading from Strawberry
to Main street runs out in front of
Mr.. Carlisle's house and then down
the pavement, instead Of going on in
to the gutter. The water was several
inches on the pavement during the
rain to day. This not only makes it
hard on the pedestrians, but it will
gradually ruin the ement. A
little work would give the water an
outlet to the street gutter.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Sept .-Eras-
tus Wimau, having recently been in
yited by the chamber of commences Of
this city TO address that body in rela-
ton TO the Canadian question, has writ
ten to the president. j. =. Dewell, a
letter, from which the following is an
extract:
wish had tongue of flame that
might impress the people Of the United
sta cs with the enormous cJnse luences
that may flow rom Senator Sherman's
resolution regarding Canada and the
immense Importance of pa ;sing it dur
ing this congress. No greater move Of
craftsmanship was ever made than that
which would on the continent of North
America ouble the area Of trade of such
country rs the United States, and
that, too, without the drawing of a
sword, the shedding of a drop of blood
or the expenditure of single dollar.
In all the hk t ry Of the world no single
act of legislation equals the proposal of
the Ohio senator in its immediate prom
Use OF enlarged opportunities for 80
great number Of people, or that may
have conseque ices SO beneficial to man
kind at large. Certainly the
potato patches in Maine and YER
mont, the meager Profits of a
few ilsning smdcks and tho coal
interests of score of mine owners,
should not stand in the way of move
ment so vast in its results. as will bring
within the control of this country the
product of regions OF arabic soil far ex-
Gee ling those of the United States, coal
territories 81 600 square miles in extent,
"a coast-line of fisheries 5000 miles long,
mineral wealth even in Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick within sight of New
England testified by Governor Andrew
to be greater tnan that of New York
and Pennsylvania combined. If this
proposal is acted upon at this session
reciprocity offered simultaneously with
the enforcement of the Mckinley hill,
the issue will be a square one at the i'm
pending general election i'll the Domin-
ion of Canada, which will be the only
constitutional means offered for many
years hy which it can be either accepted
or rejected. Hence the vast Importance
not only Of the proposal itself butyo the
immediate passage by congress.

BALL AT LAST.
TWO GOOD MINES TO PLAY THURS
DAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
Two Enthusiasts Secure the San Fran
cisco Visitors for Three Games-The
Makeup of the Mines.

The article in yesterdays HERALD
stirred up the baseball enthusiasts in
this city, and the result will be series
of games. Yesterday the San Francisco
team arrived here from San Diego, and
intended going north on the evening
train. Two Los Angeles enthusiasts
came to the rescue, and guaranteed the
visitors their expenses if they would
stay over until next Monday.
The necessary arrangements were
completed without delay. The open
ing game will be played on
Thursday at the Temple-street grounds,
between the San Francisco and Los
Angeles clubs. The same clubs will
also play again on Saturday and Sun
day. The visiting club is very formid-
able one. Phil. Knell, the celebrated
south-paw of the Philadelphia club, will
do the twirling for the San Francisco
team. Stevens will be at the receiving
end of the battery. "Buck" Ebright
and Charley Dooley, of the visiting
team, are old favorites here. They
played with the strong club that repre-
sented this city over two years ago.
Both have won fame on the diamond
field since leaving Los Angeles. Knell
needs no introduction here. He is al
most an Angelefo. Rube Levy, Jim
Mcdonald and O'Day, the boy wonder,
have all played in Los Angeles before.
Dan Sweeny, the sensational midget, is
with the team. He is the player
who has captured the northern part of
the state with his wonderful ball toss
ing. Roscoe Coughlin, pitcher Of rep
utation, also accompanies the team and
will be in the box on Saturday.
Jim Fogarty, the champion out fielder
of the Philadelphia club, will play with
the Los Angeles club. Carsey, the ris-
ing young twirler, will pitch for Los An
geles, and Pete Lohman will catch.
Carsey pitched for Oakland on the day
they defeated the All California team.
Included in the Los Angeles team will be
such old favorites as Goldie, Holiday,
Isaacson, Young, Jack Fogarty and
others. These series of three games will
in all probability be the only games
played in this city this winter, and a
large attendance is confidently expected,
as itsis not often that so many star play
ers can be seen at one game.
