WESTMORLANO,
 THE MIGHTY. ,
  HE PITCHED WEDNESDAYS GAME LIKE A WIZARD.
Pine Bluff Defeats Little Rock by
 Score IA to 5.

It often happens in base ball. as in other things, that when one expects the most he realizes the least.
 With Westmorland ant Freeman. the opposing pitchers, yesterday afternoon in the first battle of the series between the Y. NJ. C. As of this city and the Dickinson-Arms team of Little Rock, there was every reason to expect hard, stubborn battle, but it was nothing of the kind. 1t was easy money for our boys from the start. Westmorland out-pitched Freeman, both in effee- tiveness and steadiness. Whenever Y. NJ. c. 4. man would get u good crack at the ball, his fellows were iIi- oculated with the power to do like wise, and some of the prettiest bat ting of the season was the result.
 Both teams made errors that were so costly, and so seemingly easy to avoid that they took d great deal Of life out of the contest for the specta- tors, who had been fed, as rule on fine ball-playing all this season.
 The short stop work of both Murphy and Evans, the catching of Hartman and the holding down of the initial bag by Beaurie Hut, all deserve special mention.
 Freeman pitched in his usual good form, but proved no puzzle for the home boys. s.who had on their ting clothes, especially Jimmy Allen. who knocked out home run and 3-bag ger, and Franklin who also knocked the ball through the race track and made 8 tshomef. .
 Westmorland held the visitors down to 10 hits while 13 hits were made off of Freeman.
 The attendance was small, but the game today promises 10 tc good one and q large crowd should turn out.
 In the sixth inning the score stood 6 to 6. The Pine Bluffs went to bat and made four runs; the Little Rocks none. In the eighth the Pine Bluffs scored three and the Little Rocks one. In the ninth the Pine Bluffs scored one, and the Little Rocks were unable to score more than one, and this is what tells the tale:

ST. MARYS STREET DENS,
The Case of Charles Alias Attracts
Much Attention.

The Case of Charles Alias Attracts
Much Attention.
The interest in the case of Charles
Allars, before Judge Campbell charged
with leasing houses on st. Marys street
for immoral purposes, is increasing, as
was shown by the crowded courtroom
yesterday afternoon.
Attorney Morganstern for the defend
ant made formal demand upoa Prose-
cutting Attorney Spinetti to issue a war
rant for the arrest of l.. ?. Kerner, the
real estate agent, who testified Wedne day
that he knew the houses were used for I'M
moral purposes, but the Prosecuting At
torney refused.
NJ. A. Sloane. partner of Friedman &
Co., was the first witness called. He pro
duced an account with AlIais and his
partner Bodin for furniture, carpets an Il
other effects sold TO them in May, 1896.
to be sent TO the houses in ST. Marys street.
J. J. Griff, Deputy Assessor, testified as
20 the assessment on the property in
Allais d Bodin's name. James Fitz-
gerald, Deputy Recorder, testified as TO
the leases Of the property to Atlas & Bo-
din, and Phillip J. Foy, deputy license
inspector, testified as to the application
for q license for the saloon in their name
Several of the women who occupied
"cTibs on the street testified that tney
were used for immoral purposes, but not
without long string OF objections from
he defendants attorney.
When the case was resumed last night a
number OF witnesses ware examined TO
show the character of the houses on the

The gallows stands ready to take away
the lie OF the double murderer. 1t was
tested yesterday bv Hangman Lunt and
put IN order for the closing chapter of
Allender's career.

der was brought up in the PRESBYTERIAN
faith, but he received the priest cordially.
The crime for which Harvey Allender is
TO die was committed on AUGUST in San
Jose. Miss Valley Feilner was the MUIR
derer's sweetheart. On the day OF the
murder she was walking on Third street
with Nenanz Crosetti when AIlender was
n ct.
Allender drew a revolver and fired two
shots at Miss Feilner, both taking effect
and causing almost instant death.
third shot took effect in Crosettis body,
and death resulted in few hours. 1t is
thought jealousy caused Allender to COM
NIT the deed.

a thorough inspection of all the properly,
two OF them employing an arcnitect for
the purpose, with view OF bidding on it,
but after they had concluded their exa mi
nation they decline! to bid.
They found that none of the tenants
would consent to the slightest increase in
their rent, while some were clamoring for
a reduction from at they are now pay
ing, and with good reason, too. Taking
the highest bid presented last night with
the insurance and inc!dentaIs, it means
an outlay of not less than $4,000 month,
Where the lessee Is to get his money back
is more than / can see."
One OF the mem bers of the firm of A. J.
Prayer & Son, one of the principal tenants,
said yesterday that be had heard many
rumors OF n Job in the leasing o! thr
property, and ne had talked with othe-
tenants on the subject.
1t was suggested that the tenants come
bine and put in a blanket bid, but the
movement had fallen through. If the
intending lessees hoped TO raise the rent
Mr.. Prayer thought they would have
sorry time of it, for he said the bull dings
were all in wretched condition and not
one of he tenants would pay increased
rent He said be had put in bid for
ten years lease of the premises occupied
by his firm at as high rental as they
could afford to pay and if his bid were re-
jeCted and a anket lease authorized
they would move rather than pay any
more than the amount or their bid
Taking into consideration the condition
of the property, II would appear that the
hig hest BIDS are exc ssive and that the
Board of Education would do well to close
the deal at once, but il does not seem pos
sibie that any business man would rush
into such a transaction blindly despite
Mr.. Martins statement so for that reason
The whole affair has a most peculiar
aspect.
The board meets in committee of the
whole al 10 clock this morning to con-
slider the bids on the Lincoln School prop
erty and viii make recommendations re-
gardIng the least that will be accepted.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 9-The execution OF
Harvey Allender at San Quentin to-mor-
row for the murder OF Walburga Feilner

John Crosetti, brother of Venanz
Crosetti, has taken great interest in the
prosecution of Allender, and it has been
his greatest wish TO witness the hanging
OF his brothers murderer. Twice before
he obtained invitations to the hanging of
Allender, but each time the law inter-
vened and prevented his revenCeiuI wish
being fulfilled. Crosetti and another rela-

from Warden Hale Wednesday, but late
TINS AFTERNOON Sheriff Lyndon received

A PLEASANT LAXATIVE.

While sick-spell is one of the easiest things
in the world to accumulate it is equally easy to
remain well by the exercise of little care, and
is the great first cause -" of sickness The clog
ged and inactive digestive organs poison the
blood with all manner of noxious impurities,
which III turn are deposited in all the tissues and
organs of the body IF this condition is neg
lected, sick-spell is the consequence. It is
easy to avoid this. DR. PierCe's Pleasant Pellets
are sure and permanent cure for constipation.
They also cure headaches, heartburn, bilious
ness, sour stomach, fatulence, and the multitude
of all ills that result from constipation. One
