WiLLISGFORD.

The baseball excitement was at its height on Saturday, when the second, and as 1t proved, deciding contest for the purse of s200 and the local cham pionship between Managers Heineman's and Taylor's teams. The first game of the series was won by Heineman's team and the betting was in their favor at odds with but few takers on the second game. In the first game Casey and Gardner was the battery for the winners and the "Colts" were unable to get but two safe hits on his delivery. In Sat urday's game De Mills was put in the box for Heineman's nine, and ill the first three innings Taylor's ball players got on to De Mills delivery and pounded his curves all over the field for ten hits and ten runs, securing seven in the third. Casey went in to pitch in the fourth in- ming and only two safe hits were made in the last six innings. At the end of the first half of the ninth inning the score was IA to 13 in favor of Heineman's team, although by some mistake the scorer of Taylor's nine had credited his team with IA runs, and in consequence there was kick, and the claim made that the score was tie, there was con- siderable excitement, and it looked at one time as if there would be Q general row, but it was settled by Heineman's team playing out the inning to which they were entitled. The first batter was little "Cod" Taylor, who lined the ball down into the right field, almost into the door of house outside of the grounds. The ball was quickly fielded, but when he stopped running Taylor was safe on third base. George Gard ner came next and made safe hit and Taylor scored and the game was over, and there was Q wild cheer from the crowd, which numbered over 1,20O and in five minutes the ground was cleared. The features of the game was the batting of George Gardner, who made four two base hits, Taylor with two three base hits and single, and Downey with four singles. The winning team and it's friends had quite a celebra- tion in the evening over their victory, consisting of a street parade and re- treatments near the lake later. "Cod" Taylor's banner with "The $100 Hit" was much admired. The. umpiring was first-class, and gave the best of satisfac- tion. The full score is as follows:

AN EXPLOSION
At the L. Candee & Co.'s Factory-A Fine

At the L. Candee & Co.'s Factory-A Fine
 Equipment Against Fire.
 The employees of the l.. Candee & Co.'s big rubber factory were pretty well scared Saturday morning, about Il o'clock, by an explosion caused from pouring benzine in some hot varnish. An Italian named Vittorio Del Savio, who resides at No. fl Foote street, is employed in the cement and varnish department and was pouring benzine into pail of hot varnish when it ex- ploded and he was enveloped in flames and scorched from his head to his feet. Dr.. Fitch was sent for and ordered him sent to the hospital.
 He was resting comfortably last night. When the alarm from the private box No. AT was sounded everyone that heard it thought that third big fire had started. As soon as the fire broke out the private lines of hose belonging to the company were run out of the hose houses and manned by men of the fac tory, and the fire was put out before the fire department arrived.
 The acting chief of the department knowing that Chief Kennedy, who is in the hospital suffering from injuries re- oeived in Thursday nights fire, would be greatly worried on hearing an alarm from box 47, hurried to the telephone and rang in the recall just as soon as it was found that the fire was under con- trol.
 The Candee company's apparatus for extinguishing fire is very fine. It consists of two large hydrants with two lines of hose attached to each, and con- nected with large Knowles steam pump, which will send stream over any of our highest buildings. It is also equipped with axes, crow bars and other implements for fire use.

THE CURTIS CASE.
Judge Catlin is Hearing Arguments
On the Demurrer.

Judge Catlin is Hearing Arguments
On the Demurrer.
In the matter of the accusation made
by D. !. McGowan against Supervisor
William Curtis, arguments were yester-
day heard in Judge Catlin's court on the
motion to strike out the demurrer. Peti-
toner McGowan was represented by S. S.
Holl, and the defendant by Grove l..
Johnson and Clinton l.. White.
The latter contended that the action
was improperly brought; that the section
of the code on which it was based re-
ferred to the neglect OF public officer to
do his duty as such, while the complaint
itself embraced charges that should be
heard only under the provisions of the
Penal Code providing for indictment by
the Grand Jury for malfeasance in Office.
1t was not claimed, said the defendants
counsel, that the Supervisor refused to
act as such officer, or to perform the du-
ties of his office, but that he did act and
that his action was corrupt. This, it was
held, required that the action should be
brought under an Indictment, if at all.
The arguments were not concluded,
and will be resumed this morning.

FROM WHAT MOTIVE2
Why Do Populist Organs Print Sue
Rank FaIsehoods.

Why Do POpulist Organs Print Such
Rank Falsehoods.
The following is a specimen paragraph
taken from a recent Peoples party organ
published in San Francisco:
Poverty IS SO prevalent in California
cities that men cannot buy cherries; tons
of choice Black Tartarians and Rockports
rot on the trees. as it don't pay to pick
them"
This is barefaced falsehood. Every
pound Of such fruit has commanded from
five to seven cents in the market. People
living right in this city, who have from
one to half-dozen cherry trees in their
yards, bearing more fruit than they could
use, have had no difficulty in disposing
of the surplus at profit of from S. to $40
per tree. The cherry crop netted the or
chardists handsome sums this year.
