One Of the latest baseball novelties is the
hollow bat. 1t looks like the ordinary bat
but in ii are placed two or three heavy iron
balls, which Slide back and forth in the
stick. When man goes to bat, he holds
the stick vertically, and the balls rest near
his hands, but when he strikes at the bail
the weights fly toward the end of the stick
and meet the sphere ut the right place. Ii
he hits the horsehidc squarely, the ball new
er stops inside the fence. 1t is claimed that
the new bat is only about half as heavy as
the old style and that lightweight batters
can handle it as we'll rs heavy hitters.

STONED A POLICEMAN.
Telegraph Hill Toughs Try to Res
cue a Thief.

Patrolman Clarke had very trying ex-
perience on Telegraph Hill yesterday. He
was sent by his superior to capture rob-
Der who was hiding under an old and
rickety building. which has long been a
gathering place for hoodlums.
f. P. .Murtil. alias Sweeney, the man
for whom he was seeking, is an ex-convict
who had stolen So from the pocket of j.
A. Ralston, carpenter. while they were
drinking IN a saloon on the hill.
Clarke, accompanied by Ralston. went
to the old house and captured Murtil.
They handcuffed him and started down
the eastern slope of the hill on what is
known as ThorDton's trail.
They had gone down about fifty feet
when five of Murtil's gang appeared on
the bluff above them and called upon him
to escape. The thief lay down and the
roughs descended the hill until they were
within few feet of the officer.
Clarke drew his revolver and faced the
courageous quintet. who quickly retraced
their steps and pelted him with rocks
until he had reached the base OF the hill.
They will be arrested, as their names and
haunts are known to Ralston.
Murtl was booked for ROBBERY at the
old City Prison.

NOW THE OLD MEN
Fresh Cause for Talk in
Police Circles.
Who Will Be Retired on the PEN
sion List ?-Aged Officers Be.
coming Anxious.

The announcement made by President
Tobin of the Board of Police Commits
sioners. which appeared in yesterdays
CALL, that at the next meeting the Ques-
ton of retiring the old-service men on the
force would be taken up has created con-
siderable excitement among those who are
entitled to retire on the pension list.
There were earnest consultations among
those who feel that they will be on the list.
and their usual listless attitude had given
place to a chirpiness that was surprising.
The desire of the Commissioners, as ex-
pressed by the president, is to have young
men of forceful character and possessed OF
energy and activity. There has been a
feeling prevalent for some years that the
force would be the better for shaking up
in the way now proposed, looking 20 its
better efficiency, and the board means to
strike while the iron is hot. Ii it had not
been that more time was consumed at
Monday nights meeting than was expected
some action would have been taken then.
President Tobin obtained two months
leave of absence at the meeting of the
Board Of Supervisors on Monday, but his
absence will, it is understood, not inter-
fere with the carrying out o. the pro-
gramme mapped out
Among the names that have been freely
discussed are those of Captain Short of
the Southern district, Captain Douglass of
the Central district and Captain Stone, the
prison-keeper. There are also q few SER
geants and number OF patrolmen.
The subject was preached to Chief Crow
ley yesterday, but the Chief said that it
was a matter entirely Tor the board 10 deal
d. f,,1l w hut lxv Iaa
TO discuss whether or not the board in
tended to take the action as foreshadowed
by the president.
1t was common talk yesterday that some
of the old officers had already commenced
the operation Of bringing considerable
pressure to bear upon the Commissioners
TO keep them off the list. Whether it will
have any effect or not will soon be seen.
The Grand Jury will not meet till Fri
day. There is a feeling now that the mat
ter Of indcting the dismissed officers will
not be pushed from the fact that the board
will not disclose the source Of information
upon which the dismissais were made.
That no lapse Of duty will now 60 un-
punished was exemplfied yesterday. On
Monday night the poolrooms, % Stockton
street, were raided by Sergeant Christian
sen and Policeman Tanning, the latter
being specially on the gambling detail.
Pools we're being sold on the races at the
Bay District Track, n direct violation of an
ordinance passed by the Board OF SuDervl-
sors in March, 1891, and three arrests were
made.
The policemen on the beat were Clarence
CoOgan and Timothy J. Dugan. For shut
ting their eyes to the fact that po0l-selling
on the races was going on or not knowing.
as they should have known, that it was
going on they were last night transferred
to what is known as the "fog" district,
and two other men put on their old beat
on Stockton street.

SHOT HIS SLAVE.
Toy Yem Refused to Obey
Her Owner.
He Had Sold Her to New Master
and She Would Not Go-She
Will Probably Die.

One of the most cowardly crimes In the
annals of Chinatown was committed yes
terday afternoo in Church alley.
The little street has long been notorious
for its houses of i'll repute. which are
patronized by Mongolians and the most
depraved whites. The women are with
out an exception slaves purchased in China
and kept under guard in the dens of China
town until their earnings have enriched
their owners. They are generally landed
as merchants wives. and. after day or
two in the society of their owners, are
sent to disreputable houses, there to re-
main until the term OF their servitude has
expired.
Tow YEN was one of the finest of the
slaves in Church alley. She was LANDED
as a merchants wife about six months
ago, and passed through the babeas cor
pus mill. She was regarded as very
valuable chattel, but her owner, owing TO
the prevailing scarcity of cash, decided to
sell her, and opened negotiations for the
purpose with Chinese in Sacramento.
who came to this city and inspected the
property.
BE was satisfied with the girls appear
ance and agreed 10 pay the price asked for
her.
Then a wholly unexpected obstacle OBJ
truded between the dealer and the pur-
chaser. Toy YEN was sold but she refused
to go.
The old and new masters went to her
room yesterday afternoon and ordered her
TO pack up her clothes and prepare for her
departure on the next train. She fatty re-
fused to do anything of the kind.
Her old master craved, eX oStulated and
threatened, but she was obdurate.
Finally. losing his temper, he drew re-
vulver and shot five times at her. One
bullet entered her breast, another struck
her hip and third cut off the lobe of her
left ear. She screamed and blew police
whistle until she tainted from loss of
blood.
The police responded. but the cowardly
brute had fed. The girl was taken TO the
Receiving Hospital, where one. of her
wounds was pronounced fatal. All efforts
to find the men were futile.

FLOODS NEW TRIAL.
The Order Granting 1t Affirmed by
the Supreme Court.

The Order Granting 1t Affirmed by
the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the or
der of Judge Seawell granting new trial
to ex-Cashier John d. Flood.
Flood was convicted last year by jury
in Judge Seawell's court of the crime of
embezzlement. He was charged with mis-
appropriating S164.700, moneys belonging
to the Danohoe-Kelly Banking Company,
of which he was cashier. The story of the
case created great sensation at the time.
and when Judge Seawell granted Carroll
Cooks motion for new trial on the
ground of errors of the court during the
progress OF the trial. the decision caused
no little surprise.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court on behalf of the people from this
order, but the court has decided that the
trial Judge must be supposed to have re-
viewed the facts carefully before making
such order, and that he is most competent
to Judge of the value of argument or facts
presented to him.
