He was publicly complimented for his gallantry.

 Nicholson, the second baseman for whose release the Washingtons paid $500. was dropped by the Senators last week. Detroit signed him.
 Last year it was charged that the unusual number of home runs made on the Buffa- To krounds was due to the shortness of the fed. it rot taking an extra long drive to put the ball over the fence. Eight home runs in the opening game last week would indicate that the fence has not been moved.
 The Boston Herald says that the pitch, ing of Klobedanz was the feature of yes. terday's Fall River-New Bedford game. The New Bsdfords only secured three sin gles and were shut out.

aged thirty.six years, and Mr..
William Peebler on his farm near
Lebanon in 1889, aged fifty-seven.
Grandma Peebler leaves more living
descendants than any woman who ever
ded In Oregon. She and her aged
husband, Mr.. David Peebler, who at
the ripe old age of ninety-three, is ell
joying reasonably good health, have
seven living sons and daughters as
above stated, fity.tive grand children,
about eighty great grand children, and
enough great great grand children to
make the number of their living de-
scendants something over $50, those of
maturity among them ranking among
our best citizens.
Grandma Peebler, az she was aftec-
tionaly called by every one, was
most kindly, lnotherly lovable chris
tian lady, whose long life, up to the
time she became an invalid, some
years before her death, might
bthfully be said to consist in doing
eds of kindness, in that quite unob-
lsive way so characteristic of the

FITZGERALD IN HOG.
THE ERsTWHILe PuolLlsT IN JAIL.
Arrested Last Night On the Charge of RObbegy On 8 Warrant sworn
 Out by John Portis, Esq.

George Fitzgerald, the erstwhile prize fighter, who was to have fought a "mill" of twenty rounds with John Wilkes in the arena of the Pine Bluff Athletic Association Mon- day night, was arrested last night on the charge of robbery on a war rant sworn out by John Portis, esquire.
 It will be remembered that the glove contest arranged between Fitzgerald and Wilkes for last Mon day night was not pulled" off be cause of an inadequacy of gate re ceipts, but it is now asserted hY the knowing ones that the fight did not come off because of F'itzeerald's re- fusal to appear in the arena after Holland & Portis had agreed to put up the deficiency.
 However that may be Fitzgerald was arrested early last night on the charge of robbery on a warrant sworn out as above stated, and spent the night in the county jail. He is charged with stealing prop erty that belongs to the Pine Bluff Athletic Association.
 Fitzgerald's examining trial was set for this morning, and in defanlt of $500 bond he was recommitted to jail. In the meantime his friends are endeavoring to make bond for him which may be done during the day.
 The public will await developments with interest.
