at Pittsburg Mercer was In the box for
the Washingtons in the first game, and held
the Pirates down to eleven scattered hits,
the Senators winning by IL to 4. Who was
responsible for his going into the second
game the telegraphic reports do not indi-
-cats. But 1t is nothing unusual 1t Ia the
way many a game has been thrown away
by the local club mot this season only.
Many time a pitcher has been kept in the
box who was being hit hard, when a man
ager OF good judgment would have promptly
substituted some one else. Saturday Mer-
Ger went In to pitch the second game. and.
as q matter OF course, was knocked out of
the box. Only one man has ever been
known to pitch two games in one day and
win them. and that was SO long ago that

the time was ripe for the reorganization Of

transferring games from the west, Mr.
Nimick agreed with Mr.. Won der Abe, and
said that such a step would detract from

LOCAL CORPORATION CHARTERS.
The President Did Not Sign the Bill
That Passed Congress-.


A great deal Of annoyance and embar-
rassment will be caused a number of local
interpretations on account Of the failure
Of the President to sign the bill pro-
viding a simple method for corporations
renewing their charter. The bill was
passed in the closing days of Con-
gress and went to the President. 1t
was sent to the Commissioners and
returned with favorable Endorsement
and request for his signature. In
some manner the bill was overlooked and
did not receive the official sanction neces-
sary TO make 1t law.
Between this time and the assembling Of
Congress in December the charters of
number of prominent corporations will ex-
pire. There Is a method for the renewal
of charters, but it involves some expensive
and annoying features. 1t will be neces-
sary for each corporation to effect a COM
plete reorganization and the transfer of
its property to a trustee. together with
transfer Of stock. No corporation will
lose its charter, but all Of the expense and
annoyance could have been saved by q
stroke of the Presidents pen, as It is I'M
derstood there is no objection I'd the amend
ments which the bill proposes to the gen.
eral Incorporation law.

The GeOrgetOwn-COlum Foot Ball
Contest to Take Place.
The report that the Georgetown College
foot ball team would not play the Thanks
giving day game with the Columbia Ath-
letic Club. owing to the fact that they
had entered a college league which forbade
a contest with other than college teams,
is pronounced without foundation as the
Columbia's manager has received definite
word relative to the game from Manager
Horsey Of the college eleven. The rival
teams will meet as usual. The names Of
those to play on each side will be sub
mitted long before the game comes off, SO
that neither side will have the chance Mt
the last moment Of running in profession

TAYLOR DISCHARGED.
Inside History of the Infamous
 Prosecution.
The SuspiciouS Activity ot Coterie of Church Members Against
 an UnbelieYer.

The preliminary hearing of z. H. Taylor, charged with 8 criminal assault upon a little, underszed l0-year-old girl, the daughter of a family named Fowler, living in the eastern part of the city, was held before Justice Johnstone yesterday and the defendant was honor ably discharged. There was abso- lutely no evidence in support of the charge, not even circu ms tance related upon which the accusation could have been based. At the conclusion of the hearing there were cries of "hang the prosecuting witness," sentiment which, no doubt. found an echo in the hearts of District Attorney Williams and his assistant, MT. McDougal. who were the maddest men lately seen in a Phoenix court of justice.
 The hearing attracted large crowd, drawn by the infamous character of the charge and the respecta bllity and good name of the defendant. The parties to the case are all connected more or less directly with the Free Methodist church. The Fowlers are members of the church, the Rev. Mir. Christy, who displayed unusual activity in securing the arrest of Taylor, is the pastor, and the wife of Taylor is well-known street evangelist of that denomination. Taylor himself is not a mem Der or a sympathizer and it is hinted that the church people took this opportunity and means to prove to him that the way of the transgressor is rocky. But the story told by Mrs. Fowler was quite different from that told by her and the preacher to the district attorney and amounted to only this: Taylor was playing with the little girl in the pres ence of her father and mother and his manner was precisely that which any gentleman, however pure minded, might exercise toward romplng child. The defendant was ably represented by Messrs. Crenshaw & Damron and when the district attorney had recov- cred from his indignation at this at- tempt to blacken the character of Tavlor, moved to dismiss. Mir. Damron begged that the case be heard at length that the attack might be exposed in all it's infamy,
 The court, however. was unwilling to proceed with it, but did the next best thing and honorablv discharged the de- fendant with strong emphasis on the word 'honorably" He took occasion to score the prosecuting witness and her aiders and abettors in the outrage.

Mrs. J. w. Evans Essay on the Sub- fact of SCbOoI SInariptapdanoo

Mrs. J. w. Evans Essay on the Sub
 ject of School Superintendence.
 Those who attended the Territorial institute at Tucson speak in the high est terms of paper by Mrs. J. W. Evans on "Superintendence." and which is regarded as the ablest read be- fore the institute. The writer was un- able to be present, and perhaps the pa- per lost something thereby in it's de- livery, but any rate there was no more valuable contribution to the work of the institute. Mrs. Evans is heart and soul in the school system and is regard ed not only at home, but abroad, as a high authority on the subject.
 Of the paper mentioned lady pres ent at the reading thus acknowledges by letter the impression she derived from it.
 II had the great pleasure of hearing your essay; it was read to large house and Prof. Martin certainly did ample justice to it and everyone listened with marked attention. I asked the opinion of several able teachers, and they said it was the best essay that had been read at the institute. send you a copy of the Enterprise, which makes mention of it."
