have been designed to drive the cruiser at
an average speed of seventeen knots per
hour.
In order to exhibit the engines in motion
to the many who would be unable to see them
at work aboard ship, the builders sent out
number OF invitations to leading ship and
engine builders to be present.
The engines stood in the position where
they were originally erected in the main
shop. By means of the compound-pump
engines both main engines were kept run
ming from 10 o'clock in the morning to /
o'clock in the afternoon.
Commodore George w. Melville, Chief Of
the Bureau of Steam Engineering and the
designer Of the new engines, was early on
the scene, and remained till late in the day.
Navy officers doing duty in and about New
York were present in large numbers, and
there was hardly marine engine-shOp,
foundry or ship establishment on the At
lantic Coast but what was represented by
one or more people.
In length each set Of engines took up
about twenty feet of flooring, and in height
reached up to at least fifteen feet. Between
each set, as they stood side by side, was a
space representing the engine-rOum aboard
ship, though in reality much smaller. Here,
under the low pressure cylinder of each en-

What has been said of the engines as to
excellence applies equally TO the boilers.
AS the engines stand they are success.

Sommers Pitched Phenomenal Ball and
Won the Game.
In the morning Pete Sommers showed
his employer and the few people who had
nerve enough to go 10 Emeryville how to
mitch baseball. His work was of the
phenomenal order, aud for seven long and
weary innings the Dukes got neither run
nor hit and but few foul tips. SOmmers
used slow lazy curve. which Glided grace
fully across the plate, where it was per-
fectly safe from harm. He gave but one
base on balls, and by his good work and
clever fielding the Oaklands won the game
by score Of to 3.
WHY Oakland does not play this kind OF
ball in the presence of large-sIZed, tamlne-
stricken audience is doubtless because tney
are afraid they will injure their reputation
as tail-endPrs.
The first thing that looked like business
for the Dukes was in the eighth inning,
when Dooley hit a single to left. Hines
stumbled in fielding the ball and the runner
reached third, where he remained until the
side was retired.
In the ninth McGucken singled, but was
forced at second by HanIey on grounder
to Rritz. Sweeney passed the ball to first
to quiet Hanlpy, but it went wide OF the
mark, and "Blockers" took third on the
play. He scored on Everetts single, and
Ehrlghts triple Drought big blil NOME n
single by McVey scored EbrigEt with the
third and last run.
Oakland got but five hits off Harper, who
struck out eight batsmen. These five hits
were evenly scattered, one occurring in each
alternate inning. San Jose played poor
fielding game, piliug up seven errors, which
helped the Colonies to collect eight runs
with their five hits. Sweeney played good
second, accepting four chances out OF hYe,
and lining out a three-baGger. Tree Phil
lips was also in the game, and made won
derTul one-handed stop of a hot ball. Both
Stallings and Hurley did good work behind
the bat. The score Is as follows:

The Names machinery representa- the
most improved ideas in marine engineer
ing. Tie designs even, though originally
gotten up by the best men doing duty with
Commodore Melville, have from time to time
been improved upon as more recent devel-
opmentS prompted. The engines are COM
pact and spIid. In the opinion of an Amer
lean naval engineer who for the past two
years has been studying marine engine de-
Names engines are superior to anything he
has seen turned out from British shops.
The excellence of the engines is due to the
care exercised in their construction and to
the many improved and recent appliances
in detail, of which the water-spray system
for use in the event of overheating of bear
ings is no exception.
The steel columns of the Maine are
stronger than the ordinary columns one is
accustomed to see in general use. Tie
Maine was originally designed to have cast
steel columns. When they were delivered
it was found that nineteen out of twenty
columns were defective Cast columns
were then discarded and resort had to
forged steel columns. 1t is doubtful if there
is marine engine In existence to-day better
braced and supported than the engines in
the Maine.

Hanging in Chains.

One of the last instances of an order being
made for hanging in chains is that of a
chimney sweep, who, in 1927, murdered a
man on the highway on the east side of
Brigg. The cuprit was tried by Justice
Best at Lincoln AssZes. At this time what
used TO be called the new law courts were
building, so the Dean and CHAPTER lent their
chspter-house for the purpose of an Assze
Court. The trial lasted all day. The poor
wretchs body never underwent the pro-
posed indignity. The inhabitants Of Brigg

that the gibbet standing so near the high
way would terrify people and binder them
from coming to market; they petitloned
against the Judges order being carried out
and the authorities RENTED the horror.
Mr.. Hartshorne believes. and we have no
doubt correctly, that the last person hung
in chains was a man named Cook, who suf-
fered for the murder of a Mr. Paas. This
occurred al Leicester in 1884, the very year
that the custom was put an end to by stat
ute.-The Athen8um.

NIPPED IN THE BUD.
Criminals at San Quentin Con-
spire to Escape.
Murderers, Robbers and Burglars Combine
for Freedom - Their Plot Known for
Days-In Solitary Confinement.

The States prison at San Quentin is a
hive of busy tongues, both within and with
out the walls.
This is occasioned by the discovery Of a
plot on the part of seven desperate criminals
to break through the guard, scale the walls
and make their escape.
OF these seven, three are murderers, two
robbers and two burglars. Their plot has
been known some time to Warden Hale and
Captains Edgar and Birlem, who have been
keeping sharp lockout over their actions,
close guard over the 1900 prisoners and do
ing as much detective work as possible in
the mean while.
at last it became imperative that per-
emptory steps should be taken to forestall
any effort they might have in mind. and
they were ordered into solitary confinement,
there to subsist on bread and water and
ponder over the fragiliIy of hopes forlorn
with chain and ball attached to each leg.
The names Of the criminals thus secluded
are: Mickey Delaney, safe burglar, In
for twenty years; Charles Thorn. alias Dor
sey, murder, life; William Hanlon and
Harry Manning, stage robbers, seventeen
years each; Abraham TurcOtt, murderer,
life; George Ross, burglar, fifteen years,
and James Sullivan. murderer. forty-fve
years.
These are said to be the most hardened
criminals in the prison and nearly every one
Of them have made one or more attempts to
escape. If they are proceeded against on
the evidence in the hands CT the prison au-
thorities it can avail but little, for two are
life prisoners who are never given credits
that can be taken from them, and the other
SIX have not years credits among them.
The plot has been followed since its in
cipiency, when there were but two impli-
Gated, until seven prisoners were directly
known and many suspected, when It became
necessary that some measure be taken to
stop the conspiracy as one had been heard
to remark that "the time for freedom is
near"

1884 under Judge Ames as Deputy Warden
and two terms as Sheriff of San Mateo
County, and Captain Birlem had charge Of

both inside and outside Of tlie walls, watch
was kept over persons communicating with
the prisoners and over the prisoners in their
intercourse with each other.
at present the seven are in solitary con-
fnement and the detective work still goes
on. Director Sonntag was at the prison
yesterday, but nothing he cared to make
public was discovered. 1t is at the best

discovered and fortunately nipped in the

OBITU AIRY,
MRS. NJ. NJ. SAIS.


Manuella NJ. Sais, one of the oldest resi-

Her husband, Domingo Sais, was a soldier
stationed at the Preside at San Francisco,
and in 1886 was granted by the Mexican
Government tract of land one and a half
leagues square situated in the beauti-
full San Geronimo Valley. Soon after
the grant Mrs. Sais and her chill
dren crossed the hay on raft
improvised for the purpose of landing at
San Quentin, where they we're received by
old Chief Quentin, the ruling spirit of the
Indians at that point. The party remained
at San Quentin for some days and then
started across the hills 10 their destination,
what is now known as Fairfax. Mrs. SaiS

it. In 1853 her husband died. and she has

SACRAMENTO Sept. 6.-San Francisco
and the home team closed their series here
to-day with splendid exhibition of ball
playing. From the beginning the audience.
about $3.50, were kept interested and not
person left until the last man was put out.
There were four lightning double plays,
three being by the locals and the other by
the visitors. There was plenty of good hard
hitting, and a noticeable scarcity of bases
on balls and errors. All the errors were on
easy chances and inexcusable. Cobb
pitched for the visitors, and, as he had been
resting for two days. he had fine speed. He
was touched up for eight hits, Hoffman's
being good for four bags. The ball was hit
into the farthest corner and Hoff walked
home from second. 1t was undoubtedly the
longest ever made on tie grounds.
Hoffman twirled for the locals and was
hit freely, three Of the five runs being
earned. He was hit for eleven singles and
a double, five of them coming in the third
inning. Bowman rendered him magnif-
cent support and threw like a shot
to the bases, retiring three run
ners at second. SWEET also caught a
fine game, his error being poor
throw to catch McGuirk between bases.
Reynolds did great work at second, some Of
his plays being OF the phenomenal order.
McHale made beautiful catch of fly-ball,
and then made splendid line throw from
deep right field ard caught Clark at the
plate. Sheridan kept up his fine work.
His work during the series was by long odds
the best he has done up here this season.
In the third inning GoOdenough got first on
balls and second on McGuiIk's single. Both
advanced base on Bowman's base or balls.
Goodenough scored on Reynolds single, and

a single and scored on singles by Cartwright
and Smith. The latter two scored on stu
giles by Levy and Clark. In the fourth
Hoffman scored on his four-base hit. and
SWEET also scored for the visitors on his
single, Spies error and Sweeney's single.
No more runs we're scored until the seventh,
when Sweeney scored the last run on his
double and Smiths single. The score is as

JUDGE BENJAMIN HALL.

Hon. Benjamin Hall died>at Auburn, N
Y, yesterday morning, after a lingering
illness. He was born in 1914. In 1850 by
appointment of President Fillmore, he made
a compilation and revision of the accumu-
lated official decisions of the Attorney Gen.
dent Lincoln appointed him Chief Jus
tice of Colorado. a position of great
peril in the days of the break
ing out of the rebellion. A con-
spiracy was formed to kill him and other
Federal officers. and to secure the Territory
for the secessionists. The scheme failed,
and nothing went farther to defeat the
plans of the rebels than the ruling of Judge
Hall-oIiginatiug with him-to the effect
that in cases of armed rebellion against the
Government the courts could suspend the
issue Of writs of habeas corpus.
