is THIS STRAIGHT?
1t Is Declared That Morton Has
Been Given the Franchise.

Sam Morton-he of the rosy cheeks
and the fondness for inserting his fore
finger between the ribs of his most init
mate friends and then calling it joke
will have the base ball franchise in
Minneapolis this season. That is the
tip, and 1t looks like sure winner this
time. more than ever before. The tele-
graph wires have brought the message
that Dave Rowe will manage the Omaha
team in the Western association this
year. Dave is friend of the Morton
faction in Minneapolis, and while he
has been In Omaha fixing base ball
business in that town, he has been feel
ing the pulse of the committee on or
ganiZation, with relation to the changes
of the Morton party in Minneapolis. 1t
is said that Rowe has telegraphed
from Omaha to Minneapolis parties
that Morton will have the franchise.
He gives out this information, so it is
of the committee appointed to look into
the claims of the rival Minneapolis
base ball managers. 1t is under
stood that the decision of the committee
will not be formally announced until
some time next week, but that the de-
cision will be the same then as is out
lined here. The Minneapolis men who
are behind Morton in the fight, and who
have been hoping in the face of what
has been said by Hach of his cinch on
the franchise bill. will not commit
themselves at this time. But they smile
confidently and say that it is all right
that 1.-The rosy-cheeked boy will be the
winner'-as Horace Libby put it last
night.

Matters in st. Paul are still quiet. 1t
had been hoped that Dave Rowe would
manage the SANITY City aggregation,
but it seems he has concluded to handle
the Omaha team. During the past week
it has been settled that Columbus, Toll
edo and Omaha shall have clubs in the
field If Morton has the, Minneapolis
franchise, as outlined above. only ST.

ready for the fray.

GARDENERS SURPRISE.
Maj. Overman's Counsel Assumes
Bold Position.

Bold Position.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 6.-Although it
had been expected that the Overman
courtmartial would meet this morning
only to adjourn until Monday, such
proved not to be the case. Surprise was
created when Col. Gardiner, for the ac-
cused, waived the absence of Mr.. Car
KIN. of the firm of Carkin, Stickney d
Cram, of Saginaw, Mich, who was
to produce a letter written by
Maj. Overman, and admitted that
Mai. Overman had received 1884 so from
the firm as an engineering officer and
failed to account to the government for
it. 1t was also admitted by Col. Gar
diner that the major had received Ger
tain sums said to have been received by
him, and that he had wholly failed to
account therefor. but the fact that such
retention of funds was unlawful or
that the money was intended for
the military service was denied. Sew
eral witnesses were examined, and
after court had adjourned until Monday.
Col. Gardiner was asked how far the
admission as to the receipt of the mon
eys charged in the specifications pref u-
diced Maj. Overman's case. ut doesn't
prejudice it at ALL" he answered. I'VE
expect to show that the money was eX-
pended for the governments benefit,
and not one cent OF it was misappropri-
ated by Maj. Overman."

UNIQUE KITE TRACK.
Down-Grade Record-Breaker
to Be Built.

u SEDALIA, Mo-, Feb. 6.-Work will
soon begin on the construction of mile
kite-shaped track in this city. The track
will be built on different plan from
any. track in America. Instead of the
track crossing itself at the starting and
finishing points, the starting and finish
ing stretches will run parallel and about
ten or fifteen feet apart, or just space
enough between them for commodious
judges stand. By this arrangement an
easy down-grade will be established
from the wire to the finishing point,
making the finish at the wire FIVE feet
lower than the grade of the starting
point. The track will be built under
the. direction of Seth Griffin, of Brook
Ign, who says such track wilt be rec
ord-breaker without an equal in the
world.

Dead Electric Light Wire Touched One
and Killed . Linemsn.
The power was turned OF the electric street
lamp wires in Boston yesterday morning at
O'Clock, and half an hour later Lineman James
Hayes started out to change the lamp carbons
Of his regular route. He ascended the electric
lightpolein front Of 81 Dover street. strapped
himself on and proceeded to his work. He
changed the carbons and took Of his rubber
gloves to clean the globe. He took - the glass
and was about 70 replace II, when he put his hand
on tho exposed wire for support, as he had done
moment before. That instant there was a
scream and he fell back, his hand still on the
wire his body hanging backward - far as the
strap permitted. When the Assh touched the
wire there was white flame, accompanied by
aspiuttering. frying sound, and the air was full
OF the odor of burnt flesh.
Inside Of ten minutes the street was full OF
people on their way to work. II took half an
hour TO get the body down and then employees
tested the wire and found tremendous cur
rent on OF immense amperage. Five minutes
later the wire was dead.
Hayes was dead when taken down and his
hand was literally burned Oh. He leaves a
large family.
An investigation showed that temporarily
the wire had come in contact with an electric
car trolley wire, which had been fixed by the
railroad people before its exact location could
be discovered by the police officials.
The West End Company have always denied
that their trolley current could kill.

THE OLDEST MASON.
Robert b. Jump Has a Record Of Sixty. SIX
Years.

Robert b. Jump Has a Record Of Sixty. SIX
Years.
Robert D. Jump Of Dover, Del, makes the
claim, in which he is supported by his fellow
members of Union Lodge, No. 7, F. and A. NJ,
of that town, Of having been Mason longer
than any other other man in the United States.
Mr.. Jump was born on the banks Of the Chop
tank river, in Caroline county, Md. September
8, 1903 In 1926 he became member OF How
ard Lodge, No. IS, of Greensborough, Nd,
and has therefore been Master Mason in good
| standing for period Of sixty-six years.
Mr.. Jump says that during the anti Masonic
crusade growing out of the famous Morgan
episode Howard Lodge was compelled to sus-
pend and consigned its records and parapher-
MALTA to the care of the Grand Lodge at BaltI-
more. So intense was the feeling in the neigh
| borhood that for while it was positively dan
gerous to be known a Mason, and business
| men were compelled to abandon the order or
| forfeit their best custom.
| About this time Mr.. Jump journeyed afoot to
| Wheeling. W. Va, distance Of ZIG miles, with
a view to testing his fortunes in a locality then
considered the west. but finding business dull
and no opportunity for profitable employment
| he footed it back to his eastern shore home.
| Soon after his return he removed to Dover.
| where he has resided ever since.
In 1857 Union Lodge of Dover, which, though
| instituted in lS09 had been In a moribund con.
dltition since the Morgan excitement, was reor-
ganized, and Mr.. Jump became member un-
| der its revised charter. Since then he has been
| a regular attendant upon all the communica-
tions of his lodge, and served as treasurer until
the entertainments of age rendered him unable
| to perform the active duties of the Office.
Uncle Robert" as he is affectionately
| termed by the residents of Dover. is still a
splendid specimen of well-preserved manhood,
a striking instance Of strict adherence to all the
principles inculcated by the order with which
he has been SO long and honorably connected.
He stands six feet, with broad, massive frame,
and is still sturdy. though not active.
His sight is failing, but otherwise his phys.
ical condition is very good for his years. lie
is proud Of his standing as a Mason and is de-
sirous Of knowing whether there are any now
| living who can dispute his claim of having
| enjoyed the rights. lights and benefits OF
Masonry longer than any other person in the
United States.
