CHAMPIONS OF TIE LEAGUE,
The Centrals Have the Honor of Bein
tho Best Ball Players.

The Centrals Have the Honor of Being
tho Best Ball Players.
The Centrals practically wiped up the
base ball diamond with the C. L. A. team
yesterday afternoon, winning the deciding
game by score OF 10 to 4. This gives the
Centrals the championship for the
season Of 1891.
The G. L. Association team was hands
capped by reason of the sickness of
three Of its best players, Morrissey, Rossiter
and Sullivan. There was a big crowd to
witness the game, and both teams were &C
corded proper share of applause when
ever the plays warranted it.
The batteries were Gross and Bouchard
for the Centrals and Harrlgan aud White
for the e. L. A. Michael Seaman and
John Ennis were umplres, and there was
no kicking because the game was one-sided
from the start.
The Y. NJ. C. A. has the honor of being
the tail-end Of the league, its team not hav-
ing won a game during the entire season.
The Savannah Base Ball Club questions
the claim that the championship of the city
belongs to the G. r. RS. The Cen
trails claim the honor by the reason of the
defeat of the c. L. A. but the Savanna hs
are not willing to concede the glory to the
Centrals, and to test IL would like to play
one or a series of games to decide which Is
entitled to the distinction of champions
In case game, or games, will be acceded
to by the Centrals. the battery of the Savan-
nahs will be Butler and Schreck Atlanta
will be here next week to play the Ssvan-

trip of the Electric railway yesterday.
Crowds of small boys hailed the cars with
enthusiasm and delight. while the ladies
who live along the line took occasion to
ride to the market.

facts about the piano trade, and rsa aI
perhaps, some Of the difficulties In the +,.l
OF selecting q really good instrument Ia, a
tell you something Of the history of ~
pianos we have been identified with az ~ VIZ

IN England; ''Beckstein" is equally IraI
known on the continent but it is no erao-
geration to say that the name of "Chictas

reflection will convince any one that ~
must be solid reason for this. No n 1;,ol'
could make itself name In the crIt-,-lI
centers OF Europe unless it had merits IS
most decided and peculiar order. Nov -
fact Is that the Chickering piano. abovs ~

Mr.. Chickering received from the emnero'
the cross of the Legion of Honor. she mo-.

EMBHzzLER OF THOUSANDS.

Herman Keher Slips Through the De-
tectives Fingers and Escapes.
Savannah detectives recently had an OPP
portunity to make themselves distinguished
by ca oturing a st. Louis embezzler Of over
$50 600, but they missed the chance, and, 10
doubt, handsome reward as we'll.
Last month Herman Keher, who had
been for sixteen years confidential book
keeper of the large furniture establishment
Of Hellar IL Hoffman, of St. Louis, skipped
outwith S20,000of the FIRMS money. he was
thought to be heading toward Savannah, as
his wife was supposed to have moved here
some time before the defalcatiou.
The MORNING News received a telegram
announcing this fact, and notified the police
department. An officer took hold OF the
case. and the MORNING NEWS to aid the
ends Of justice withheld the publication of
the facts IN its possession in order that the
officers might work secretly and capture the
embezzler.
Keher was located two miles from Eden
on the Central railroad, where he pur-
chased farm, paying S., 200 in cash for it.
Requisition papers we're at once sent for,
and when they arrived the officer visited
the farm, but the prize was gone
The embezzler had friend in Savannah
who, by some means, secured information
that the officers were after him. He went
up to Eden one night on the II 80 o'clock
Augusta train, got off at the station and
walked two miles through the country to
Keher's farm. aud notified Heller of what
be had learned. Long before daylight the
two men were in a buggy behind a
fast horse far on the road
to Savannah, and just as day was breaking
they drove through the streets of the city
In short while the embezzler was concealed
In safe place. and 1t is thought he was
struggled out Of the city in a day or two
thereafter, as no trace Of him has since been
found, and the officers have gwen up the
idea OF capturing him.
Keber left his wife with baby but few
days old at the recently purchased farm at
Eden, but as it is eaid that he separated
from his wife for over a wear at one time,
this probably gives him but little concern.
He is supposed to have gotten north, and
the chances for his capture are now OF the
slimmeSt character.
Mr.. Helisr was in the city for Several
days, awaiting what was supposed was G
sure capture OF the man who betrayed hi
confidence, but he has returned home disap
pointed. The mistake was seemingly mad,
In not arresting the embeZzler as soon as hi
was located, instead Of waiting for the requi
sition papers.
keher Is man over SIX feet in hight, o.
spare build, with light hair and mustach,
and bright blue eyes. He is soldierly il
appearance, one who would be called fine
looking man, and impresses a person as
man of more than ordinary intelligence
which his employers say he possesses. H
is well-heeled, having taken the $50, 900 il
hard cash.
While at Eden Keher dressed in westerl
style. with broad fels hat, high boot.
carried two large revolvers, affected Texa
cowboy manners, and spoke of numerou
western ranches whore he claimed he ha
ridden the mustang and swung the lasso.

RIGHTS OF THE PRESS.
JUDGE HARDEN TACKLES TIE
MORNING NEWS FOR CONTEMPT

He Takes Exception to a Paragraph
in It's Report of the VIM Damage
SUIT, and Summons J. ]. Doolan to
Answer for 1.-THE Case to be Heard
Next saturday-A Variety of Views
on the Proceeding.
The VIM damage suit against the City
and Suburban railway developed an inter
esting feature yesterday as to the right of
newspapers TO write up a case during the
progress Of the trial.
In the account Of the suit published in
yesterdays MORNING NEWS it was stated
1.-THE plaintiff put up good case, and so
far the defendants have not shaken the
testimony on the important questions of
fact involved in the issue"
As soon as court opened Judge Harden
took occasion to severely criticize the
MORNING NEWS for the publication of the
paragraph. He classified it as an outrage,
and stated that newspapers should not ex
press any opinion upon the evidence in any
case, as 1t was obstructing the administra-
ton OF law and justice. Judge Harden was
quite positive in his remarks, and intimated
that he would exclude the author of the
article from the court room in the future,
found guilty of contempt.
SUMMONED TO SHOW CAUSE.
He summoned Mr.. ]. J. Dooan of the
MORNING News local department who wrote
the article, to show cause at o'clock why
he should not be held in contempt of court.
k. X. Richards. Esq, one of the attorneys
for the plaintiff, at once announced that he
would represent Mr.. Doolan in the contempt
proceedings. At o'clock MIR. Doolan was
ready to show cause,n but the court for
some reason postponed the hearing until
next Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
just before giving his charge to the jury
Judge Harden again spoke Of the publica-
ton, remarking. that it is serious matter,
and that the court was in duty bound to
give it serious consideration. He dwelt
upon the subject in an animated manner.
He added thai IL newspapers are allowed to
express an opinion on any case which has
not been concluded, in which event it is the
property of the court, 1--WE had better go
back to olden times when juries were re.
quired TO be locked up during the trial of a
case and until litigation was ended"
AN UNIQUE POSITION.
Judge Harden's position is rather unique,
in view of the general practice of news
papers. It was the general topic among
lawyers, and it was the general verdict
0nat tue PhteBIa pn ia no way Substitutes
contempt, because it is simply an individual
opinion of evidence publicly given on the
witness stand and In no way men
toned or complicated the court.
Many of the attorneys smiled
over the matter, and hardly thought Judge
Harden could be in earnest, ia view of the
fact that the constitution of the United
States permits the expression OF any opinion
so long as it is not Of an incendiary or
reasonable character.
The question as TO the right of a judge
TO exclude any person from court room
was matter of considerable debate.

SENATOR GEORGES LETTER.

It will be remembered that in his
hasty note to the alliance of Carroll
county some months since as to his
views on the sub-treasury, Senator
George briefly stated his objections, and
promised to elaborate and emphasize
his opposition to the measure in fu-
ture communication.
The Mississippian has on file, and
will publish next week, said letter,
which will be read in the homes and
around the tiresides Of people Of the
State, and carry conviction, where
doubt fingers as to this grotesque, i'm
practical and unconstitutional heresy,
which Is abroad in the land.
Jim George is one OF the people. He
sprang from their ranks, and now that
he is as great in ability and learning as
the greatest in the land, he is still one
Of the people-plain, honest, unassum-
ing-but a giant in intellect. The
great commoner-for that's what he
is-can not be defeated unless the dem
agogue can steal the people from him,
an intimation at once an insult to the
yeomanry Of the commonwealth, whom
he has served with signal ability and
sublime devotion. jackson MISSISSIPPI
