baseball club is not in sympathy with
the league. This crusade against
coaching is entirely unnecessary" said
he recently. "Without coaching the
game would be so dead that there
would be plenty of empty ben hes in a

ers should use foul language or indulge
in senseless kicking to delay the game,
but [ see no reason wny base runners
should not be encouraged by men on

Base ball umpires receive too much
sympathy. They are generally to
blame for all the troub es on the field.
There are rules to protect them, but
unless they are enforced they are of no
use. An umpire who is courageous,
and there are .one or two here about
will enforce order and discipline with
out much trouble. But man who gets
ratified and is afraid of the players
should re ,eive no defense for his fail
ure to succeed.

OCALA BANK CASE.
The Note of An Insurance Company
Causes Comment

Tampa. Fla, Feb. 22.-In connection
with the case of r. B. Mcconnell presi-
dent of the defunct Merchants National
Bank of Ocala, a very queer thing has
been developed, not heretofore made
public.
The grand jury of the United States cir
cult court has brought in two indictments
against Mcconnell, as has already been
told in the Morning News. One of the spe-
citic charges made by the grand jury
against Mcconnell is that they found
among the banks papers note of the
New York Equitable Life Insurance Com
pany for $1,000, signed by r.. b. Mcconnell
as state agent. He was for some time the
state agent for this company, and it is
own bank without the knowledge or con-
sent of the insurance company, for the
company is not borrower but lender
of money. This is one of the most inter
esting things that has come TO light so far
in this remarkable case.
The indictments show that on April 10,
1891, he signed note of $780, which was re-
Moved. as agent of the New York Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society of New York
and on two other occasions he made notes
for the same concern. in all aggregating
$4,000. lie also made note for 5000 for
the BrooksVille State Bank, of which he
was president also. These acts were done
without warrant or authority and the Jury
says to deceive the agents of the con-
troller. The Indictment charges him
with other Irregularities and the emhez-
cement of a total amount of %, 500 The
sensation in financial circles.
The steamship Olivette returned Satur-
day afternoon from her first trip of the
season to Jamaica. The boat brought
back large cargo of fine fruits, mainly
bananas, and a large number of trees and
tropical plants selected by President

will be planted in the beautiful grounds
around the Tampa Bay hotel.
