TOO ACTIVE IN LIQUOR CASES.
Policeman Murphy's Friends Say
That's why He Was DfsmOuDted.

The friends of Policeman II. G. Nfurnhv
are very much exercised because he has
been dismounted, after having been a
mounted officer for several years. and as
signed to patrol duty on River street
They claim that the change was made by
Chief McDermott because Murphy has
been too active in putting violators of the
Sunday liquor law on the docket
The incident alluded to by Rev. Mr..
Williams in his sermon at Wesley NIonu-
mental church Sunday night, is said to
nave been responsible for the change Mr..
Williams stated that policeman had re-
ported two saloon keepers for violation
or the law on the same day under SINH
lar circumstances, that one was placed
on the docket and fined, and the case
against the other was hushed up. The in
cldent mas since been talked about on the
streets. The saloon keeper who was placed
on the docket and fined is w F. Thee
me other saloonkeeper who was reported,
but VINO was not placed on the docket is
Henry Garwes, who conducts a bar and
grocery on Henry street
The circumstances, as told to a Morning
News reporter, are as follows: Murphy
was on duty in the southeastern section
OF the city, when he became convinced
that business was going on in Garwes'
place. He watched and saw two white
men start out of the door, when Garwes,
who had seen the officer, ran to the door
and pushed them back. The case was re-
ported to Chief McDermott at the same
time with that of Thee. The Morning
News informant stated that policemen are
required to report Sunday violations to
the chief, who investigates the reports
and exercises his discretion in placing
them on the docket.
This is the statement made from an ap-
parenty authoritative source The in
ference drawn by Murphy's friends is that
when Chief McDermott found the matter
was being talked on the street he hauled
Officer Murphy up for violation of the rule
forbidding officers to discuss police mat
tiers with outsiders, and punished him by
dismounting him.
Chief McDermott. when spoken to about
the matter, declined to discuss it. Il ex.

ROEBER AND INcENDIARY, TOO.
The Attempt to Burn Dixon, Mitchell
& Wells ONCE an Ugly One.

The fire in Dixon, Mitchell & Wells Of
nee, at the foot Of Liberty street, early yes
terday morning, an account of which was
given in the Morning News, was undoubt-
edly of incendiary origin. The fire was dis
covered by parties passing on the street
It was IN the attic of the building and
some of the weather boarding had to be
torn away for the fremen to get at the
hre. 1t was easily extinguished when once
gotten at.
1t was discovered after the fire was ex-
tinguished that one of the safes in the
once mad been opened and a drawer con-
tanning about $50 taken out Traces of
kerosene were also discovered on the floor
around the safe and in the attic. The pa
pers IN the drawer which had contained
and so also were those in the waste bas-
ket. Some time was spent by Chief Ma
guire in Investigating the fire.
Mr.. NJ. W. Dixon. the senior member of
the firm, was out of the city, but return
ed in the morning, and was at his Office
when seen by a Morning News reporter.
He had no doubt of the incendiary origin
of the fire. and was further satisfied that
one of his employees was the guilty party.
The work could not have been done by any
one unfamiliar with the building The old
papers and letters of the firm are stored
away in the attic, the only approach to
which by a ladder and the approach to
the foot of the ladder is by a door which
has the appearance of a closet door.
The safe which was robbed was not
locked, being only used for keeping books
and papers, but one drawer was used
by Mr. James Blain chief yard clerk. in
which to keep his own money. These facts
were well known to the employees and
the employee under his suspicion had es-
pecial reason to know this. No attempt
was made to rob the other safes, nor
even to open the cash box of the safe
entered.
The doors were locked and all the win
dows closed when the firemen arrived,
showing that the incendiary must have
entered with a key and locked the door
on his departure. The appearance of
things in the office would go to show
that the incendiary intended to set the
fire in two places, but that the fire in
not stop to set the fire by the safe, as
he evidently intended doing. The object
was evidently to cover the theft.
The damage is small, about S1O0, but
some inconvenience may be caused by the
loss of records. There was no insurance
on the property.

c. L. AS LOSE IN CHARLESTON.
The CarOIinians Win by a Score of
II to %.


When the wires announced last night
that the Catholic Library Association base
bali team had been defeated by the
Charleston c. L. A. in that city yester-
day afternoon, there was regret expressed
on all sides by the friends of the home
team.
The score was II to g. and from an ac-
count of the game in a special to the
contested exhibition. 1t was one of the
prettiest games played on the Charleston
grounds in a long time, and until the
ninth inning was finished neither side
could lay any claim to the game.
In fact, when the ninth inning opened
up the savannah boys were one run in the
lead, and IL looked very much as if they
would defeat the Carolinians on their own
field, but fate willed it otherwise, and
by a combination of circumstances which
occur so often in a base ball game the
Charleston boys whooped 'em up in their
half of the last inning and won the game.
Smith and Ballantyne were the battery
for the Savannah team, and they held
the Charleston boys down very well,
though both teams batted'heavily A large
crowd witnessed the game. Colcolough,
the National League pitcher, whose home
is in Charleston, umpired the game, ana
save satisfaction to both sides.
This is the first game the c. L. A. IS
have played this season, and considering
that the team has had very little practice
and the additional disadvantage of play
ing away from home, it made a splendid
showing
The G. L. AS next game will be with a
emi-professional team from Atlanta and
will be played at the Thunderbolt driving
park Memorial day, and will doubtless be
well worth seeing
The Atlanta team which is touring the
state is a strong one, and is beating every
thing it meets, but when it runs up against
the Library boys it will think it mas struck
a snag.
The c. l.. A. team, which will play Mon
day, will be a strong one, and the boys are
going to win back the laurels lost in
Charleston.

FOUGHT FIVE HOURS.
Two Desperate Engagements Take Place
on the Unhappy Isle.

on the Unhappy Isle.
Havana, Oct 6.-News has been receiv-
ed here of an engagement which took
place on Monday near Guanmo, in the
western part of the province of Pinar del
Rio, between'the Spanish troops under
Gen. Bernal and Col. Gromados and the
insurgents under Antonio Maceo. The
latter is reported to have lost eighty men
killed and to have retired with many
wounded. The troops lost over 1OO men.
No further details of the fight have been
received. In second engagement be-
tween the troops under Gen. Bernai and
Maceo's forces the latter lost 100 killed
and had 200 men wounded. The Spanish
loss was "a killed. These are all the de-
tails obtainable at present.
Later in the day some details were re-
ceived of the two engagements fought by
the troops under General Bernal and Col
insurgents under Antonio Maceo, ut
Guamo, in the western part of the
province of Pinar del Rio, on Monday
last.
Colonel Granados, it appears, was in
formed that the Cantabria battalion was
surrounded by force of 5000 insurgent
infantry and 800 cavalry--at Guamo. The
insurgent force had been sent to Guamo
by Antonio Maceo from Iona Blanca
Colonel Granados' troops charged the en-
envy after his artillery had fired twelve
shots at the insurgents position. The
insurgents soon commenced to fly, and
the Cantabria battalion, thus relieved
from its dangerous position, was enabled
to join the troops under Colonel Grana-
dos, and the entire iorce pushed forward
to attack the positions which the insur-
gents had taken up after having been
driven away from the immediate vicinity
of Goamo. The latter we've stubbOrnly
defended, but the insurgents were dis
lodged after five hours fighting and were
driven back beyond Iona Blanca, leaving
eighty killed on the field The troops
wounded, among the latter being four
officers.
While this fighting was in progress.
General Bernal was finishing a second
engagement with the insurgents at La
mas de la Teja. General Bernal only
had about 700 troops Mt his disposal,
while the froces of Antonio Maceo occu-
pied long lines of battle. The fighting
commenced at D:30 a. M, and the enemy
made very stubborn defense But the
insurgents were finally dislodged from
the positions they had taken up, leaving
100 killed on the field, and the prisoners
captured by the Spaniards say that the
insurgents carried away over 200 wound
ed. On the side of the troops Lieutenant
Colonel Romero, of the San Marcial
battalion, one of General Bernal's aide de
camps, anC eighteen privates were killed.
In addition Lieutenant Colonel Chacel,
OF the engineer corps, eighteen officers
and siXty-five privates were wounded

Ceu PreSS.
New York, Oct. 6-The New York
Mail and Express to-day joined the Asso-
ciated Press, at the same time severinp
all relations with the United Press The
Mail and Express was one of the original
seven New York city papers to join in col

represents to-day the only possible prin
ciple under which the news of the world
