STOCKTON, August 9th.-Fourteen innings
of great baseball were played today be-
tween the San Franciscos and Stocktons.
Il was game replete with heavy hitting
and pretty feelings. and. although three
pitchers were called into service, outside OF

Young was touched up for three singles
and triple in TIE fourth inning, which
gave the home team their first runs. In
the fourth, on three singles, as many errors
and a sacrifice, five more we've scored.
San Francisco got one run in the second
inning on . base on balls, an out-steal and
single. IN the fifth inning, with one sin
gle, Everett getting hit by pitched ball,
and passed ball by Duane, another run
was scored.

sAs FRANCISCO STOCK SALES.
SAN FRANCISCO. August 9, 1890

The latest invention in door locks is one
which cannot be opened from the outside
by plier or skeleton key if it is locked on
the inside, and for this reason is especially
valuable for hotel rooms and inside doors
of buildings generally. 1t has double
bolts, one above the other. The lower
one is used to lock the door from the out
side. Its keyhole does not go clear
through the lock, neither does the keyhole
of the bolt that locks the door from the
inside. When the door is locked on the
inside there is no means of reaching the
key or the keyhole of the inner bolt from
the outside of the door. This lock is being
extensively used on the Pacific coast in all
new hotels.

HORRORS IN DAHOMEY.
shocking Things Dr. Bayoi saw -Fiendish
Amaxons.

Aha<On>.
A letter from Paris giving details of the
adventures of DIR. Bayol, the governor of
kotonou, who was imprisoned by the king
of DaIomey, appears in the Vossiche Zei-
tung. DIR. Bayol himself was not ILL
treated, but was forced to witness the
most horrible executions, and was closely
watched night and day by three of the
most important chiefs. He was forced to
be present at the execution of his secre-
tary and his interpreter. and was "A spec
tator of the sacrifice at one time Of. ~
human beings, and AT another of A.. The
victims were bound. mutilated in "A horri-
BILE manner, and then, still alive. hung up
by the heels. Then their bodies were
opened with large round knives and the
intestines taken out, after which the
corpses were thrown into a "place of
skulls" )" where in Az hours they were re-
duced by birds OF prey To skeletons.
DIR. Bayol was every time compellcd to
view each corpse, while the executioners
carefully turned the heads of their victims
toward him. Upon one occasion he de-
sired to buy oil some negroes. whom he
recognized as proteges from Porto Novo,
but the king angrily refused to allow IL.
Every day his dusky majesty danced be-
fore the doctor, executing steps and
jumps which would have been highly en-
pertaining under other circumstances. At
these times the king wore sandals and a
sort of Grccian cap on his head. and six
Amazons danced with him.
The Amazons DIR. Bayol describes as
very fiends. One day the doctor wit
messed spectacle which he will never
forget. AT a sign from the king
100 Amazons rushed upon "a
living OK and tore II To
pieces in few seconds: then
each, with a piece of raw flesh in her
mouth, marched oil singing. while five of
their number held the skin aud head of
their victim aloft in triumph. In fcstal
garments they Witnessed from the roofs
of the neighboring huts the human sacri-
fees of the next day and laughed hear
tily. They always appear perfectly re-
signed and go quietly To death when their
turn comes. The king is very suspicious
and would not sign the letter written Ia
the president of the French republic. Dr.
Bayofs return To the coast was extremely
dangerous. for he had no passport, and
was, therefore, obliged, in spite of illness.
to march more than fifty miles i'm one day
through country with which he was quite
unacquainted. On arriving AT Kotonou

One Detection.

The Marion Star is the only newspaper
in the State that endorses Judge HaskelPs
manifesto and indicates purpose to sup.
port the State ticket announced last week
as one to be nominated by the Republi-
cans, headed by Judge Haskell. We are
sorry to see the Star, which has been long
and consistently an aggressive and deter.
mined exponent of straight Democracy,
straying from the fold; particularly as it
has during many years fought along the
same lines with the Greenville Neaus.
The press of the State-and especially
the country press-has made a record
this year of which its members and the
State may we'll be proud. With three
or four exceptions the newspapers have
stood firmly by what they believed to be
the real interests of the people against
an overwhelming popular rush. They
have stood to their guns gallantly in the
face of prescription, threats and evident
defeat. Beaten, they have with one ac-
cord, with this solitary exception, wheel
ed into line and given the party and State
loyal support.
The temptation on both sides have been
great for men who work as hard and for
as little return as any class in the State.
Many newspapers could have profted
heavily by "fopping" at a convenient
time. We believe several could have
gained largely in circulation and income
BY supporting Judge Haskell's position.
The men who occupy that position-the
irreconci]ahles-are generally men Of
means, and few as they are compared
with the masses on the other side, they
would in the aggregate form constitu-
ency which would be handsome support
for several newspapers.
The newspaper men, however, have
been true as steel to their convictions
and they have won the thanks and honor
of the State.- Gree'sville Ne,ys.

Suicide on o Train.

CHARLESTON, Oct. GA peculiar
tragedy occurred on the down Columbia
train Of the South Carolina Railroad, due
here 9:15 tonight. Soon after the train
left Branchville one of the passengers
entered the toilet room of the coach. He
locked himself in and remained there so
long that some of the passengers called
the conductors attention 10 the fact.
The conductor forced the door open and
found the man swinging by his neck
dead. He had used one of his suspen-
derB, which he made fast to the venti-
tlating tube near the ceiling. The body
was cut down and brought to the city.
On his person was found card bearing
the address of J. Schuch, 1884 Hartford
avenue, Baltimore, and about s115 in
money. The suicide is about 30 years
old and weighs about 200 pounds. No
one could identify him. The conductor
says he boarded the train between Co.

A Valuable Recipe,

The liquid in which the State board of
trade has 80 successfully preserved fruit
for exhibition purposes is as follows /:
'Thirty gallons of filtered water are
placed in barrel, and on the water is
placed q tin can containing 25 cents worth
of sulphur. The sulphur is set on fire
and the top of the barrel is covered with
q piece of oilskin, so as to retain the
fumes. When the sulphur ceases to burn
the covering is removed, allowing the
supply of oxygen in the barrel to be re-
newed, and after stirring the water, the
sulphur is again set on fire and the top of
the barrel is again covered. This opera
ton is repeated until the sulphur will no
longer burn, when the water is ready for
use. Not only are fresh fruits preserved
in this way, but where decay has set in it
is completely checked and withered fruits
have their plumpness and color restored.
Ali of the fruit in the California on
wheels has been treated in this manner,
and there are jars of fruit in the rooms of
the board that we're prepared over year
ago, the fruit still appearing as if but just
but plucked from the trees" Indiana
