The gambling fraternity should

replete with evidence that wherever
gambling in any form is tolerated.
bribery and corruption protect it,
while the rights of law abiding cite
zens are subyerted, industrious habits
are destroyed, common honesty un-
dermined, and henest business enter
prises are honey combed, through
employees rendered dishonest by these
glittering alluremeats to crime. Dur
ing the year 1890, one hundred and
twenty EIGHT persons were either shot
or stabbed over gambling games; six
attempted suicide and twenty-four
persons committed suicide, while
sixty were murdered in cold blood
and others were driven insane. Six
ty-eight youths and persons were
ruined by pool gambling and betting
upon horse races. Among the crimes
committed to get money to gamble
with were two burglaries, eighteen

Yesterdays game was entirely too one sided to be interesting, and .n conse- quenee a sig of relief was heard on all sides when the last fnan was out.
 Owing to the wretched field work of the locals Wednesday the crowd yesterday was far below the average, there being less than 300 people present.
 Fricken was in he box for the locals, and, although wilder than usual, pitched good ball, allowing only seven hits, two of them being scratches, and only one a two-bagger. His support was gilt-edged, and had the boys played Wednesday for Mcdonald and Sparks as on yesterday for Frlcken Birmingham would today be in third place. F'ricken aided ma terially in yesterdays victory by clever stick work, lining out two clean doubles and a single and leading in batting, having gone to the bat only four times. His
 two doubles brought .n three of the earn
 ed runs and aided in getting another
 Beecher played far beyond himself yes-
 terday, having ten chances and getting
 two put outs and eight assists without errors.
 In only two innings did the locals fail to score, and in only two innings did the vis- itors succeed 1n scoring, and only then on two bases on balls, weak single and nelders choice, and a hit and Adams
 huff of fly in deep righ., which fell squarely in his hands.
 In the eighth inning the locals got in a fine double play and would have made it triple but for Trainor getting the in- dex finger of his right hand stove up. He will hardly be in the game again for a week or ten days and with him and Fuller laid off on account of injuries the team will be in a poor condition for championship work. It is hoped, how ever, that Fuller will be able to get in the game in a day or two.
 Sechrist, the visiting pitcher, was in gilt edged shape in the first inning and indications pointed to a hard fought game, but he let down in the second in- ming, and, with Van Dykes error to start off, he hit Adams and gave Rappold, F'ricken and Gorton bases on balls, fore ing in two runs. After that the locals found him at easy stages and scored in every inning save the third and sixth. Following is the work of both teams:

A DELEGATE AssASSINATED. Florida Has to Blush for Another Cowardly
 Crime,

Brooksville Fla, June 11.-John w. Crum was shot and instantly killed by some unknown assassin about 10:30 o'clock last night. He was delegate to the democratic convention, which met today, and came to town last night to meet his delegation, and on his return within the corporate limits was killed There were two guns fired within about five seconds of each other, but it seems that but one took effect, which broke the left arm and twelve buckshot entered the side. Crum was raised by Capt. Will liam Hope of this county. He leaves a widow and eight helpless children.
 The county convention today passed resolutions of condolence for his family and asked the governor to offer a reward and to assist in bringing the perpetrators of this foul deed to justice. There has been no arrest made. The coroner's jury has not rendered it's verdict The friends of MT. Crum suspect that this is another result of a feud in which persons of Hills borough, Pasco and Herando counties are interested.
 All the good people of the county ex- press their condemnation of such con- duct in their midst and offer any assist ance to the officers of the law. Owing to heavy rain from early morning the sher- if has been unable to get any satisfac- tory tracks, but will continue the search with a posse tomorrow

the opening up of hostilities the team was lined up in front of the grand stand and each player was presented with a mag nifcent bouquet of flowers. MT. H. c. Chaplain delivered a cheerful address on behalf of the clubs admirers and the players were heartily cheered by the spectators. The game was a close and ex- Pelicans started the fireworks the visi- tors lost heart and the coming champions had no trouble in winning, by both out batting and outfielding their opponents.
 Tonight the team was the guests of the celebrated RooterS' club at a sumptuorx banquet at Paul Leeourts cosy hotel, ai West End, where they were taken on | special train decorated with bunting at the conclusion of the game. It was one of the finest affairs of the kind ever given here, and proved very enjoyable to all present. Chief Rooter Frank Bishop acted as master of ceremonies and Depu- ty Coroner Dr. A. G. Maylie as toasJ- master and right royalty did they per form the tasks allotted them. Among the guests were Chief of Police D. $. Caster and J. Leonard Mueller, vice president of the Southern league, who made splendid speeches, commenting the work of the team. President Powers and Manager Abner Powell also said a few words to help stimulate the boys in their actions. The affair was an unequalled success in every particular, and was so pronounced by Manager Dick German. Kid Peoples and Umpire Mcfarland, who were among the guests. Score:

BLASPHEMY AT TIE CRAVE
Christians of Montgomery Were
 Shocked Yesterday AGED JESSE HOOKER'S PAPER Teemng With Assertions Which lngersoIl Would Hardly Father Is Read in Lieu
 of a Burial Service

Montgomery, June 11.-(Special.)-Mr Jesse Hooker, a capitalist, said to be worth S1 ,0OO, died here yesterday in the s4th year of his age. On his deathbed he handed a manuscript to friend, with the request that it be read over his grave in lieu of burial service
 This afternoon Rockers remains were buried His manifesto proved to be one of the most sensa ational and blasphemous attacks on ,the Christian religion that was ever read here. He positively for bade any religious observance at his grave, for the reason, as he insisted that religion was a gross superstition, orig mating in ignorance and foStered by crafty and designing priests, whose live lthood depended upon the propagation among the minimizing of degrading fa- bles, which the intelligence of the world has long since outgrown. He insisted that the theory of evolution that mat ter and motion never had a beginning was inherently self-sustaining. He does not deny the existence of God, or Gods, although he insists he has had no evil dence of them; but he believed if a God existed possessing power and intelligence to create the universe he could not have been the author of the crude and con-
 
 Bible, he insists. depicts God as cruel, revengeful, passionate, vindictive and jealous, and he could not believe that the maker of the universe possessed these qualities
 The Bible casts o slur on labor by im- posing it as a punishment. and fosters profiigacy by enjoining one to take no thought of the morrow; that Jesus, who gave this advice, practiced 1t, and so does the modern tramp. He insisted that in spite of the Bible labor and industry have been mans savior. He said the Bible teaches the world is flat and has no corners, and sun, moon and stars pass around it, whereas astronomers have clearly demonstrated that it is round and revolves around the sun. He insists it is remarkable that the intelligence of this century should receive as absolute truth the superstitious conclusions of perhaps the most ignorant age the world has ever known. He insists the Bible makes God monster and claims that since skepticism has spread, justice. hu- manity and benevolence have kept pace with 1t.
 Publication of the manifesto in an af- ternoon paper has shocked the Chris tiaps of the city greatly. Hooker divided his time between this place and Chicago.

 l.. Iuly to IL.

The object of this notice is to call your attention to the fact that a special rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip has been named from all points for the above mentioned meeting.
 After consultation with several parties who are in position to know the geogra- phy of the country in such a way as to select a delightful trip, the Louisville and Nashville railroad has been decided upon as the initial route for those wish ing to attend from Alabama. On account of it's numerous connections at Cincin- natl for Buffalo and Chautauqua Lake 1t is without a peer for those wishing to avail themselves of delightful summer outing.
 Another reason for the adoption of the Louisville and Nashville for the use of the visitors from Alabama is the fact of it's cutting the state in half and being lo- cated so as to be the most convenient of any line for the greatest number of peo- pie.

Plans Being Prepared and Work Will Be
 gin on Their CompletIon.


 Anniston, June (Special.)-Plans are being prepared for the new mill which will be erected by the American Net and Twine company of Boston just north of the city, and as soon as they are com pleted the contract will be let and the work of construction begun. The written agreement of the company with the citi- zens of this city requires that the plant be completed within six months. The site is one of the best that could have been selected. It consists of forty acres of land just outside the northern city limits, between the main lines of the Southern and the Alabama Mineral rail- roads, which are only 200 yards apart at the point where the mill will be To- cated. The product of the plant at first will be cotton twine and cotton netting.

The plant here will give employment to $50 or 400 people.

 No action was taken towards appre- hending Michellon, as he has expressed a willingness to face any charges that might be brought against him.

J. Pierpont Morgan Declares for the Gold
 Standard.
 New York, June 11.-J. P. Morgan who has just returned from Europe, was at his office this morning. MT. Morgan, when asked for his view of the business situation, said that everything now de- pended on the money standard the presi- dent will support this fall. If a gold platform is adopted at St. Louis and it appears that the republican party will succeed in the election business will re- 'vive and foreign capital will pour into this country. If, on the other hand, the present standard is not upheld, our busi- ness relations abroad will cease. Foreign CTS will not touch our securities.
 When asked what effect McKinley's nomination would have, he said:
 , Tt is not question of personalities, but of platform, and the success of the party standing upon 1t will settle the question. The money plank should be a clear declaration for gold, with no alter native or evasive reference. It should be as plain as possible"
