The attendance at the EmeTyville grounds
yesterday morning was below the average,
as the Colonels were not billed to appear,
and there was a noticeable absence of the
fsirer sex in the grand stand. The bleach
ers were comfortably filled, however, by a

had risen somewhat earlier than is Gus

SACRAMENTO, May 3.-About 1900 spec
tatoIs witnessed tO-day's game between the
Oaklands and the home club. There were
two large picnies in town, which doubtless
accounts for the small attendance. Each
team had won one game of the series, and
both were anxious to win the deciding
game. Reliable Frank Hoffman pitched for
the home club, and pitched unusually well
at that, but four scratch hits being made of
his delivery, and they were too scattered to
Go much good. He struck out four men
aud gave three bases on balls. Hoover
caught good game, stopping several widely
pitched balls and making a great catch OF
foul fly against the fence.
Mars did fairly well, but was generally
hit when hits were needed. His support
was very poor, Tip 0Neil especially dlStin-
gushing himself. Tip could not throw the
ball anywhere near first base, and made
four disastrous errors. Hardie caught a
rather poor game, his throwing being very
wild. Hutchinson made phenomenal one

In the first inning Ward went to first on

last half Long went TO first on balls, stole
second and third, and scored on HardIe's

OBITU AIRY.
REV. nR. RorHwEI.I


Rev. DR.. B0thwell died at Brooklyn last
evening. On Saturday, April 18th, deceased,
who went from Oakland recently and be-
came pastor of the Congregational Church
of the Covenant in Brooklyn, n. Y. took a
cork from a bottle to give some medicine
to one of his children. He held it in his
teeth and in laughing at the pranks Of
another child, the cork slipped into his
throat and was drawn into the windpipe
and on into one of the bronchial tubes.
1t nearly suffocated him and violent fit of
coughing failed to release it. His ply stefan
and two other doctors failed to reach the
cork. They managed, however, to relieve
his suffering so that Boutwell, preached
twice on Sunday, April 18TH, but it caused
him renewed difficulty on Monday, and the
following day another consultation of physi
clans was held and it was decided that the
cork was in the left bronchus Mechanical
means were TesOrted to to release H. and
Boutwell, was placed over a support and
pounded on the back and he coughed until
he was nearly black in the face, but could
not remove the obstacle.
The following Thursday DR.. Boutwell, was
taken to the Brooklyn Hospital and the
operation of tracheotOmy performed. The
wind pipe was opened and probed with all
the available instruments known to the sur
geons, Tut the cork could not be reached.
The operation was prolonged for two honrs,
but the physicians present, including many
" sP''"t swans "OiO CVihPSA'OA " a.
nit that the case was beyond their skill and
that the cork could not be reached without
laying open the lungs, which would prove
fatal.
DR.. Boutwell, came out from The etheriza-
ton all right, and expressed himself as
resigned to Gods will He had since re-
manned at the hospital suffering from vo
lent paroxysms of coughing at intervals.
DIR. Biggam, the family physician of Both
well, said April oath that the patient was
doing we'll and he did not apprehend fatal
result, even if the cork was not removed.
Another physician said the cork might
encyst itself and prove harmless. save in
Subsequently other operations were per-
formed, with the only effect of weakening
the patient. Within the past few days,
however, symptoms of pneumonia were
manifested, which developed fully, and last
night death came to his relief.

SACRED EVIDENCE.
Bible Found in a Grave Proves the
Heirship to Millions.


Heirship to Millions.
A curious story of the preservation Of
records in q tomb has been developed here
In connection with the discovery of the in
heritance of fortune. Mrs. Sidney Hen
bricks of this city has been notified that
she has fallen heir to 100000 from the
estate of an uncle long since deceased, says
a Chicago dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
quirer. Isaac Phillips. from whom the
estate descends, was born May 2, 1766, at
Easton, Mass. He went South in 1918 and
engaged in the slave trade, and accumulated
an enormous fortune. OF this he deposited
the cash in the Manhattan Bank OF New
York City, and invested the remainder in
land at Long Branch, in H0lest0n, S. c.,
and in houses and lots in Baltimore. The
cash now in the Manhattan Bank aggre-
gates S5000,000.
He died in 1884, his wife and only child
having previously died In 1871 the heirs
began to search for facts to prove their
right to the property. On an application to
the courts to compel the Manhattan Bank
to disclose all OF the facts relative to the de-
posit with that institution, the court held
that the heirs must first furnish exact in
formation as TO the time and place Of Isaac
Phillips death. This they were unable to
do. and the matter dropped.
The next thing was TO get an authentic
record of his birth. 1t was finally discovered
that the family Bible of good old Baptist
Deacon Phillips, Isaac's father had de-
scended to Isaac's brother Jacob, and that it
had been buried in the coffin with jacobs
daughter, Susanna, on June 4, 1866. in the
Washington-stree Cemetery at Easton. Per-
mission was obtained from the Selectmen a
few days ago to open the grave

cayed, but with the record still perfectly

Tie California League Directors held AN

The California League Directors held an
executive meeting Saturday night at Presi-
dent Mone's Office to consider the question
of returning or retaining the players claimed
by the Pacific Northwest League. What
transpired at the meeting could not be
learned. The Directors had evidently ar
rived at an understanding beforehand, as the
meeting did not last longer than half an
hour. Henry Harris was very close-mouthed
about the matter yesterday, and declined TO
say anything In connection with the meet
ing. He was asked IL the league had de.
cided 10 remain under the national agree
ment, and said he could not answer the
query at the present time.

in Chicago, advertised in a matrimonial
paper of that city for wife who could keep

his letters in the style and with the ex-

of his ambitions, of his hopes and his fail
ures in way that inspired the tender SYM

began to dawn in the heart of the Hawkeye
maiden, and she came to long for the letters
from Chicago. In due time came pro-
