THE BASEBALL CASE.

Judge Green Decides That the Bron-
chos Can Play at San Pedro Park.
Quite a number of baseball rOoters
assembled in the Thirty-seventh Dis
trict court room this morning to see
the outcome of the baseball injunc-
ton suit brought by the San Antonio
Edison company against Peter ]. Bro
phey and Mike Lawrence to restrain
the latter from playing games any
where but at Riverside park. An ef-
fort was made to have the case con-
tinued until next Monday, during
which time the plaintiff was to make
some arrangement to pay the clubs
debts and carry it through, but no
satisfactory understanding could be
had on that point and the case went
to trial. After hearing plaintiffs petit
ton and defendants answer and ex-
ceptions, Judge Green ordered that
the injunction be dissolved as to Law
renee and perpetuated as to Brophey,
meaning that they can play ball at
San Pedro park without legal inter-
ruption. Plaintiff excepted to the
ruling of the court and gave notice of
appeal.

HEAVY ROBBERY,

New York, July 9.-Advices from
Savanilla, United States of Colombia,
tells of large robbery perpetrated at
Barranguilla by two young men of
high social position, one nephew of
one of the highest officials in authori-
ty in the republic. The amount stolen
was S25O,000 in national bank bills
that was in course of transmission
via Savanilla through the mail and
was being held at the postotfice in the
capital awaiting delivery. A large
part of the stolen money was found in
the possession of the young men.
Strenuous efforts were made to keep
the affair hushed up. The balance of
the stolen money uncovered will
probably be reimbursed by relatives of
the young men to save them from the
of their crime.

STORM BY THE SEA.
TERRIFIC GALE BLOWING AT
PENSACOLA, FLA, TODAY.
Three Banks Lying Ashore, Houses IN
rooted, Wires Down and General
Wreckage Everywhere.

MOBILE, Ala, July "a terrific
storm Is blowing at Pensacola
today, and has caused great dam
age to property, and IL is feared
some lives are lost, as houses were
unroofed, trees blown down, boats
blown ashore and other serious
damage done.
The wind came up early this
morning from the northeast at 1.-THE
rate OF two miles an hour, and then
changed to northwest and blew one
hundred miles an hour, Pensacola
being the centre Of the storm.
AS result Of the storm the Ital-
ian brig Diadem, the Swedish
barque Sva and the Norwegian
barque Johann Ludwig were blown
ashore at Pensacola and the Mer-
chants hotel on Palafox street, the
Methodist church and nearly every
business house in the city were un-
rooted. The streets were made i'm
passable by fallen trees. No street
cars are running and all telegraph,
telephone and electric wires are
down. The Pensacola and Allan
tic division of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad was washed out
in several places. The damage is
fully $250,000.

MURDERED FOR HIS GOLD
Footpads Kill Long Island
Business Man in Front of
His Dwelling.
Crush His Skull With Blows From
Bludgeons as He Lies Senseless
on the Ground.

HEMPS TEAD, NY, March 7.-Stephen
Powell, one of the wealthiest and most
prominent men on Long Island, was MUIR
dered in most brutal manner at about II
o'clock last night, as he was returning
from his place of business on Main street
to his home on Fulton street. Mr.. Powell
was in the habit of carrying large sums of
money upon his person. 1t is supposed
that his murderer or murderers learned of
this fact and awaited an opportunity to
waylay him..
The murder occurred in front of Mr.
Powells home. Directly opposite the gate
an electric light was brightly shining. His
assailants are supposed to have been hiding
behind the electric-light pole, and as Mr..
Powell passed he was struck over the right
eye. the blow cutting long cash. There
is also a cut on the left wrist, but this
wound was probably received while endea-
voring to defend his face.
The blow evidently knocked Mr.. Powell
senseless and his assallants then struck
him terrific blows on the back of his head +,
which crushed in. the skull. He was
found at Ills o'clock by neighbor, who
carried him into the house and then sum-
moned medical aid. Mr.. Powell died q
few minutes later, however, without hav-
ing regained consciousness.
Three negroes were arrested to-day on
suspicion of being implicated in the MUIR
der. They are Van Rensselaer, Simpson,
John A. Wayne and Arthur Mayhem.
They were held to await the action of the
Coroner's jury. Several other men, both
white and colored, are under suspicion.
Mr.. Powell had 5000 in an inside pocket,
which was unnoticed by his assailants, and
they obtained only about 60 in change.
The Trustees OF Hampstead village to-day
offered reward of $1,000 for the conviction
of the murderer or murderers.

cheering for Spain and shouting of death
to the Yankees!"
1t was evident from the conversations
everywhere heard that war with the
United States would meet with popular
approval, but the Government is not pay
ing much attention to the populace beyond
preventing it, SO far as possible, from act
ing In disorderly manner.
1t being Sunday the authorities feared
that the demonstrations might become
rlotous and extra precautions were taken
to quell disorders in their incipiency. AS
the day wore on the crowds in the streets
rapidly increased in numbers. The gem
darmes were in force to prevent any too
large an mblage. When large crowd
would gather in the main streets the
mounted gendarmes would charge into it
and drive the people into the side streets.
Many persons gathered about the French
consulate and enthusiastically cheered for
France, which country, according to popu-
lar belief, would surely be an ally of Spain
in the event of a war with the United
States.
The strong guard that was placed some
days ago about the American consulate
was strengthened to-day and it was well
that this was done, as the crowd attempted
several times to approach it with the un-
doubted intention of again attacking it.
The guards were very vigilant in repelI-
ing the mob, and finally the latter, seeing
that more determined attempt to attack
the consulate would result in bloodshed,
sullenly withdrew to give vent to their
patriotism in other directions.
