Various Stories.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 20.
The prosecution in the case of
Durrant announced today that its
witnesses would be through with the
direct examination next Wednes-
day. The crowd at the trial today
exceeded in size that of any pre-
Vious day since the case opened.
George King, the organist, was re-
called for further cross-examina-
ton. After a few unimportant ques-
tions from the opposing attorneys,
King was excused, to the general
surprise, it having been expected
that the prosecution would interro-
gate closely upon the alleged varia-
ton in his statements concerning
Durrant made at different times
Frank @. Sidemann, formerly jan
itor of the church, testified that on
April 3, the day that Blanche La
mont disappeared, the gas fixtures
were in perfect order. During the
last few days of March the gas COM
pany had finished some work in the
church, and gas escaped at no place
thereafter, except a trace which was
hardly perceptible from a loose kew
in one chandelier. The witness said
that in the latter part of March
Durrant and King had put in a new
lock ON one of the doors, to which
they only had keys. They had stat
ed their object was to keep out of
the library persons who had no busi-
ness there. The ex-janitor testified
that several times he had found
doors in the church unlocked. These
doors opened into interior rooms or
closets, and he had attached no i'm
portance to their being left unlocked.
BLANCHE'S RINGS.
Adolph Oppenheim, pawnbroker,
testified that on the 4th or 10th of
April Durrant came to his store and
offered for sale ring with a small
chip diamond. The witness selected
ring from those identified as be-
longing to Blanche Lamont, and
SAID that was the ring offered him
by Durrant. He had declined to
purchase it and Durrant had taken
1t away with him. The witness stat
ed that since testifying at the pre-
llmlnary examination he had re-
celved two letters, offering him
pr1bes to modify his testimony. One
OF the letters offered him $500 on
condition that he stated on the stand
that he could not positively identify
Durrant. He was not to see any
one IN connection with the bribe un-
I'll after he had given his testimony.
when the money would be paid to
MN. The second letter was of a
similar character. The witness said
ne mad turned both letters over to
the police.

Americans Safe to Make the Great
est Number Of Pofjnfa.

est Number of Points.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2O-The New
York Athletic club will measure
strength on Manhattan field tomorrow
with their British cousins from OK
ford and Cambridge. Much specula-
tion has been excited by the interna-
t.onal meet and all rumors that have
escaped from the reticent management
have anxiously been discussed. Com
petent judges have conceded the ma
jority of the events to the American
contestants, although every event Will
be hotly contested and surprises are
looked for by those best Informed. The
London men are handicapped by the
change Of climate and their lack OF
facilities for training. The warm
weather of the past few days will have
beneficial effect in getting the men
back to the pink of condition and loos-
ening their muscles. The records OF
the men entered in the 1OO-yards dash
are evenly good, all being fraction
below the ten second mark. Wefers,
of the New York Athletic club, is run
ming In the best form, and with a de-
gree OF certainty can be counted on to
breast the tape first. A. r. Downer,
upon to win the 220-yards run, broke
down yesterday and is virtually out of
the contest. Burke, of the New York
Athletic club, is the favorite in the
quarter-mile run, having covered the
distance in 4919 seconds last week, in
good form. Sands, also of the local
team, has been running well and it is
thought should make fight for second
place.
Fitzpatrick may be counted upon to a
certainty to win the half mile run.
He will, however, probably fail in his
attempt to lower Dohms record Of
l: "a 1-5. Tommy Connect is in the best
of form and will, it Is believed, again
lower his record in the mile run. Both
teams are well represented in the
hurdles, with the odds slightly in
favor of Stephen Chase, of the Lon
don men. The London men have SUI
perior talent in the three-mile run and
will probably win by a good margin.
The broad jump will doubtless go to
the visitors, while Sweeney is the
favorite in the high jump. The ham,
mer-throwing and shot-put are re-
garded as certainties for the New York
Athletic club.
Barring accident, it is thought that
the American team will win eight Of
the thirteen events. Surprises have
proven to be the order of events in
such contests, and the Englishmen
may have any number of them re-
served for the last minute.

AT FISHERS MERCY.
Mi11ers Couldn't Score Until
Scores Were Of No Use.

indianapolis, 20; Minneapolis, g.
For five innings Mr.. Fisher held the
locals down to three hits in the game
at Athletic park, Minneapolis Frank
popped up a fly to left, which Mccarthy
misjudged in the high wind, so that
was a sort of scratch. Blackburn sent
nice one sailing over Mcfarland s
head, and Lally sent one to the same
quarter. But no one was able to score
In the sixth inning, however the To-
Gals managed to connect with Fisher
little, Frank opening the ball with a
safe one. Straus and Fraser followed
suit, and Wilson did as well. Two
runs resulted.
Again in the eighth the locals
punched three hits and made one more
In the ninth Blackburn went out on
a grounder to Canavan, and Hulen
struck out the second time. Then
Lally hit grounder to Hogriever, who
was playing short, and George gave
Mcfarland bad throw That was a.
starter, and the crowd began to strag-
gle back. Werden followed 1t with a.
two-bagger, and Frank had to have
another single. Then Straus put the
ball over the fence, and the home
nine closed with the reasonably fair
allotment of eight runs.
But with Indianapolis it was differ
ent. They went at George Blackburn
early. The first inning two-base hits
escaped the sticks of Hogriever, Cana
van and Mcfarland, while home runs
were pounded out by Mccarthy and
Newell. Two other ordinary safe hits
were made in the inning, but the side
was finally retired, Phillips over-con-
ffdent base running helping some. Five
to nothing.
In the second there was a base on
balls and home runs by Canavan and
Mccarthy. That made 8 to 0.
In the third the visitors did not get
to first base, and every one was cor
! respondingly happy.
In the fourth Canavan made a two
! bagger after two were out, and two
timely singles scored him. Nine.
In the fifth Werden muffed a ball at
first and Mcfarland was safe. A base
on balls, two singles and another error
by Straus gave the visitors two to
which they had no right
Two singles in the sixth, followed by
two-baggers by Hogriever and Phil

An Accident Saved the Drug Clerk

From the Consequences of a
BIunder.
Atlanta Constitution.
This is tragedy or comedy, according
to the light in which you view it.
One of the proprietors of a drug
store in Atlanta was not long ago a
drug clerk in a small otsy. There were
two drug clerks in the store at the
time. They divided the time, one an
swering the calls at night and getting
shorter hours in the day, and the
other doing long hours.
"One night" said the Atlanta man,
i was in my room over the drug store.
1 couldn't sleep, somehow, and I
tossed about on my bed until 1 heard
some one come in the drug store

and wait on the customer In a few
minutes 1 heard the customer go out
and everything was quiet again. But
quiet only for a SHIRT time
p esently l heard my colleague be-
low walking about uueasily, and I
could tell by the nervous way in which
he walked about that something was
the matter. 1 went down and found
the ycI-1g man walking UP and down
the floor, great beads of perspiration
standing out on his brow and agony
written all over his face.

STOLEN IN TRANSIT.
Robbery of $4,000 Worth of RaiI-

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 2O.-Prob-
ably the most extensive and for years
the most successful scheme for steal
ing, has just been unearthed by secret
service officers of the big railroads
centering here. Fully $4,000 worth of
goods have been stolen and the cul-
prfts concerned are under arrest. The
railroad companies have known for
several months that a systematic rob-
berry of freight in transit was going
on, and they have spent thousands
of dollars in an endeavor to arrest the
thieves. Last Monday Thomas Nolan,
foreman of the Railroad Transfer COM

stealing case of goods, but escaped.

BARBER HAD REVENGE.
Learned That His Customer Could
Not Pay and He Quit Work.

The head of James Leneran, of Jack
sonville, Fla, is now in a condition
that excites universal attention. The
right half of it is as bare of hair as
the palm of his hand. while the left
Is adorned by flowing locks. Leneran
entered the barber shop of Charles
Wilson and asked for a shave. His
request was complied with, and then
he asked for hair cut, saying that he
wanted the hair taken off to the scalp.
Wilson began work, practically shaw
ing one side of Leneran's head. When
half through, Leneran said he had
only 10 cents, and that Wilson would
have to give him credit for the re-
mainder.
1t was not one of Wilson's credit
days, and he Immediately ceased work
on Leneran's head and ordered him
out of the shop. Leneran called
policeman and had Wilson arrested on
a charge of malicious mischief The
case was heard and Wilson discharged,
the court holding that he was justified
in ceasing work when he learned that
the customer had no money.
