SHREWSBURY, England, June 27.-(New
York World Cablegram-Spe Telegram) y
The Hayerford College cricket team opened
its tournament here today with a match
against Shrewsbury School cricket team. The
American boys gave their opponents a great
surprise by the display they made. and
the game though drawn on account of time,
was decidedly in favor of Haverford, The
weather was good and large crowd came
out to see the Yankee boys make their
debut in the noble game of cricket. Haver-
ford went to bat first and Captain Lester
sent in d. H. Adams and A. b. MifIiin to
face the Shrewsbury bowling. Miflln was
given out, leg before wicket. after making
10, and Captain Lester joined Adams. The
latter soon mastered the Shrewsbury bowl
ing and lovely run getting followed. Adams
was caught by Corser off Bowring, after
making a very useful 90 c. II. Howson and
T. Wistar STAYED with their captain while
he hit up the runs. Howson had just reached
double figures when he was beaten by
Humphreys. Lester seemed good for his
century, but when he lacked but four runs
of the coveted hundred he was caught by
Luther off Moser's bowling. He was liber-
ally cheered on his return to the pavilion
and his innings of SO was a display for any
cricketer to be proud of. Captain Lester
declared the innings closed when 1S1 runs
had been compiled for only four wickets.
Wistar and Hinchman were not out.
The Shrewsbury team went to bat with
but little prospect of beating the Haverford
score. They played carefully to make a
draw of the match, and with the assistance
of Lloyd's careful innings of 3S and 16 by
Druce, managed to play out time. The
score at the call Of time was 70 runs for
three wickets thus leaving the game drawn
very much in favor Of Haverford. The full
score is as follows:

The second game between the Omaha
and Gate City Cricket clubs was played
on Fort Omaha parade grounds resulting
for the second time in the defeat of the
Gate City club by fourteen runs on the
first innings. The wicket was hard, fast
and very bumpy. Probably this was to

THE TWO LEPERS RE TAKEN
Bindt Brothers Seen on Market
Street aud Placed Under
Arrest.
They Declare That on No Account
Will They Be Removed to the
City and County Hospital.

Ernest Bindt and Frank Bindt, the two
lepers who escaped from the Pesthouse
last Thursday night, were captured yes
terday afternoon and are now back in
their old quarters.
Since their escape the police have been
keeping q careful lookout for them, and
accurate descriptions of them had been
read to the watches at the different police
stations.
Yesterday afternoon, between 3 and 4
O'Clock, Watchman Pepper of the Pest
house was walking along the south side OF
Market street, between Fifth and Sixth.
when he saw the two brothers leaving the
building, 927 Market street.
Pepper followed behind them till he
met Policemen Morrissey and Murphy.
He pointed out the two lepers to the Off
GERS, and theyw were promptly placed under
arrest and taken to the Receiving Hos
pital. When searched a revolver was
found on each. The Pesthouse was at
once notified, and the brothers were taken
out in the van.
After escaping from the Pesthouse they
made their way downtown and engaged
a room at 455 Tehama street. The occu-
pants of the house did not know that they
were harboring lepers, and as they paid a
weeks rent in advance, were well dressed
and appeared to have plenty of money no
particular inquiries were made about
them.
Both brothers are intelligent men.
When dressed they do not have much the
appearance of Iepers, except in their
hands which are contracted and cannot
be closed.
I'VE have been in the Pesthouse for ten
years" said Ernest, land were perfectly
happy and contented there. We had a
brother there, also, but some years ago he
was discharged as cured.
I'VE have our separate rooms there,
have good food and plenty OF space for
recreation, and are perfectly willing to re-
main there. We are practically consigned
to a living death, and common humanity
should plead for US to make our lives as
pleasant as possible, which is done at the
Pes;house.
I'VE will not go to the City and County
Hospital upon any consideration. The
food is bad there and we would all be con.
fined i'll one ward without the opportunity
of exercising ourselves. 1t is bad enough
Al the Pesthonse with some of the Chinese
there, but it would be a thousand times
worse at the City and County Hospital,
where we would be in one ward. All the
lepers are just as much opposed as we are
to being removed 10 the hospital, and
those who are able will make their escape
if our removal is insisted upon. Another
leper was to go with US last Thursday
evening, but he drank too much wine and
was unable to leave.
THE revolvers we had with ms were
these we used in amusing ourselves at the
Pesthouse by firing at a target, and we
took them with US, not for any deadly
purpose, but just to have them.
The Goto remedy has done US gooo,
but if we are cooped up in ward at the
hospital it will be of no benefit"

JOY IN SAN JOSE.
Contractors OF That City Glad to
See Charles w. Fay Move
Out

SAN JOSE. CAL, Oct. 26.-The report
that Charley Fay, rhe well-known street
contractor, is likely to move from this city
to San Francisco has caused unfeigned
satisfaction among the contractors of San
Jose. For several years Mr.. Fay has been
able to control municipal contracts in q
r,ost remarkable manner. By some kind
of mind-reading or hypnotic influence
known only to himself and his confiden-
tial associates, he looks into the minds of
those who have control of street-paving
contracts and figures 10 q fraction just how
much they will grant in the way OF extra
allowances and rebates, after the awarding
of contracts. and he can also guess just
how low to put the figures i'll his bid In
order to obtain the contract.
Mr.. Fay has been assoc ated with some
of the largest bituminous rock corpora
tions of the country, and his acquaintance
with their methods of doing business has
undoubtedly been of practical service to
him III the business of securing and carry
ing out street-paving contracts.
The departure of Mr.. Fay would cause
no unhappiness among other contractors
here, for they consider his system of oper-
ations to be so well developed that rivals
are mot in it, when he enters the lists as
a competitor.

.an accompliee in the person of horrid
man. The Pasadenan lost $50. but he is
=. wiser if less moneyed man.
The foodpadery occurred at the corner
of Boyd and Omar streets. Thompson
says he was standing on the sidewalk
when handsome. well-dressed woman
stepped up and engaged him in conversa-
ton. Suddenly she threw her arms around
him, pinioning his arms to his sides. At
this her companion appeared, and while
Thompson struggled with the woman he
searched the Pasadena mans pockets.
The female crook seemed possessed of pro-
.digious strength, and Thompson could not
free himself.
After the robbery Thompson says the
couple backed off and lodged behind
some casfor-bean bushes near the walk
The victim then went to friends
house, reported the hold-up and a party
was organized 10 hunt for the footpads,
but after an hours search the chase as
abandoned. The affair was then reported
TO the police. During this time the two
had ample opportunity to escape.

MIDWAY IN RICHMOND
Yesterdays Rain Had the Effect
of Testing the Sewer
Capacity.
First Avenue and Point Lobos Thor.
oughfare Made Uninviting
to Drivers.

The Richmond district has been made
to take cognizance of the fact that it
rained yesterday. Evidence to the fact
was produced in the form of choked cul-
verts on the street corners, which caused
the impeded waters to overflow the streets
and occasioned numerous Inconvenience
to pedestrians, who had to wade through
the muddy overflow on the crossings or
get out on the center of the streets, where
the mud and slush were inches in depth.
First avenue, that much-neg elected thor
ougnfare which leads from the Golden
Gate Park to the Presidio reservation, was
in such deplorable condition that two
teams got stuck in the mud and wet sand
and required the joint efforts of both men
and horses to relieve each other by first
uniting in removing one of the stranded
wagons TO place of safety and then ap-
plying the same remedy to the other.
The blind sewer which has been partly
put down on Sixth avenue. bnt which re-
mains closed by reason of the objections of
the authorities of the French Hospital,
has been filled by the heavy rain until the
water backed out on the low levels along
its course. This sewer would have good
outlet if connected with the Point Lobos
main sewer, one block from where it re-
mains closed.
The neglected condition of Point Lobos
avenue was made more than apparent by
the storm of yesterday, which had the
effect of turning the accumulation of dust
and dirt which has been permitted to re-
main there for the past year into a mass
OF red, sticky mud. uninviting to those
whose business compelled them to drive
through it.
The filing in of old Bay District race
course has had the effect of making the
bald sandhills that were so perceptible 10
the vision disappear from view. The con-
tinuous sand-eater which has been at work
there for the past two months has re-
moved thousands of tons of this material,
which has been carted into the racecourse
and there dumped to fill IN the large hol-
low which stood in the center.
This plain will, when filled in, be
offered for sale in building lots, which will
have the effect of increasing the popula-
tion and adding more wealth 10 the Rich
mond district.

At THE CITY THEATERS,
Julia Marlowe Taber Makes a
Success as Juliet at the
Baldwin.
Second Edition of "Babss In the
Wood'-Programms of the Press
c ub Benefit.

large audience brayed the weather
last night and showed its appreciation for
the Tabers and for William Shakespeare,
by attending the performance of Romeo
and Juliet" at the Baldwin Theater. En-
thusiasm met its reward, for in many
respects the performance was as ideal a
nighter could wish to see.
1t is hard to speak in calm terms OF
Julia Marlowe Taher's Juliet. She seemed
TO enter into the very core of the lovesick
Capuiet girls personality. The intense
youthful passion, the honesty, the win
someness, the agony and the despair of
Juliet were all portrayed with fidelity to
life which was almost startling.
So few actresses arrive at the maturity
OF powers necessary for acting Juliet
part; but Julia Marlowe Taber slim,
girlish figure, IN her loose, flowing roles,
showed the full maturity OF finished
artist in her acting.
Another point where she scored heavily
was that she showed herself caba BILE of
touching every phase of Juliet's emotion
with equal ease and nicely. So often
actresses who succeed in the tenderness
of the balcony scene fail in the tragedy of
the potion scene.
Ellen Terry, for instance, altogether
fascinating as she is in the earlier
portions of the play. invariably falls
short of her previous efforts when it comes
to the potion scene. This was where } ulia
Marlowe Taber, in her alterations be-
tween girlish courage ana horror, was
strongest. At tne end of this scene she
Was called again and again before the cur
tain.
Robert Taber's Romeo deserves much
more than q passing notice. He was the
ardent, youthful lover to the life, and he
looked as well as acted his part. Mrs Sol
Smith was excellent as the nurse and
Bassett Rae was good Mercutio. For
some reason best known to himself
II. A. Langdon chose to play Friar
Lawrence ss a toothless, senile
old fellow, who was almost in
audible. Dodson L. Mitchell came out
strong as the heavy Capulet father. He
rated his daughter In the vigorous fashion
which characterizes nineteenth century
family rows in rhe lower ranks of society.
If juliet mad s.anged him back he would
probably have given her black eye; but
although his brutal style was scarcely con-
sistent with the majesty of the
head of the house OF Capulet, it
was effective and telling and brought
