She Forgave Him.

George Robertson appeared in
justice court Tuesday morning
as defendant in a case wherein
the State was plaintiff. The
charge was wife beating. But
ere the cause underwent the
preliminary process of prepara-
ton for trial the stony heart of
his wife melted at her husbands
predicament. She relented and
refused to testify against him.
The charge of wife beating was
dismissed and one of disturbing
the peace substituted. To the
latter the defendant plead guilty
and was fined 81 and costs.

TAMPA's SENSATION.
Row On over the Gambling Houses
and BarrOOms.

Tampa, Fla, May 22-The row over the
conduct of the administration Of the Grim
inal court of record has developed into a
sensational one. A meeting was held
Thursday night, at which some pretty
strong charges were made against the
officials.
The meeting was addressed by H. c.
Macfarlane, who said: Il know of my
own personal knowledge that public gam
bling in Tampa was not put down until
NJ. E. Gillett was elected mayor of the
city. To-day I remembered that shortly
after he was installed in Office 1 had a
private conversation with him, in which
he related a certain conversation which
had occurred between him and a gambler
doing business in Tampa. Shortly after
he became mayor of Tampa a leading
gambler of the city called upon him, and
informed him that he didn't know what
MS (Gillett's) means were or what value
ne placed on money but 1t would be
worth to him S1000 a month for the priv
llege OF running. Mr.. Gillett informed the
gambler that there was no use in talking
In that strain to him, that he intended
10 enforce the law, and that money could
10 state that he was given to understand
that 1t would be worth 500 a week to him
to let the bar rooms Of the city stay open
during Illegal hours. He also informed
these people that he intended to enforce
the law. You know that gambling and
the illegal selling of liquor has been TAX
ing place in Tampa for three or four
years prior to that time, and that within
thirty days from the time Mr.. Gillett be-
came mayor of Tampa there was no pub
lie gambling and very little liquor selling
after illegal hours. You can perhaps de-
termine who closed up the gambling
houses, whether 1t was the criminal court
OF the present mayor Of Tampa
The fight on the criminal court RACES,
ana there is no end to it yet, but the
law and order people claim that they are
not going to stop until the fines placed
there are more than 81 and costs, for they
say that looks to much like making a
bargain counter of the court at the ex-
pense of the people of the county, and
making a cheap license.

State University.

The Score II to in Favor of the
State University.
Macon, Ca. May 22.-The laurel wreath
Of victory is worn by the state univer-
sity and MERGERS plucky team has at
last met a Waterloo.
Two thousand persons crowded the
grand stand and bleachers to-day to wit
ness the most exciting game Of ball ever
played between college teams on Macon
grounds. The college girls were out in
large numbers to cheer the boys on to
victory, and under their stimulus grand
game was played. At the end Of the
game the score stood 16 to in favor or
the State university. The batteries were:
For Mercer-Mansfield and Jones.
State niversity-Richardson, Sanford
and Moore.
The score by innings follows:
Mercer .............0 0 0 0 0 2 0 27
Athens .............0 0 L x-16
Mansfeld's work in the box was ex-
cellent, but the fielding of the Athens
team brought them the victory. The
game had additional interest on account
of the bitter contest last year. in which
Mercer was victorious, and which almost
precipitated a serious row. The victory
to-day was fairly won, and no discord
marred the pleasure of the occasion.

BRUNsWICK'S BAR
Spanish vice Consul Plans a Death
Dealing Gun.


Brunswick. Ca, May 22.-The American
schooner James G. Beecher, Dunn, master.
now at the Southern docks unloading
cargo Of coal, sailed across the bar yes
terday drawing 70 feet of water.
This Is considered a splendid test of re-
cent improvements in the bar deepening
The Beecher is a four-masted vessel, 1900
tons register, and brought in lab tons OF
coal for interior points.
Mr.. Rosenda Torras. the well known
Spanish vice consul at this port, has sub
mitted to army officers of his acquaint-
ance, plans and Specifications for death
dealing gun Of the most terrible type.
Should their verdict be favorable patents
will be applied for. The gun is modelled
after the shape of an ordinary double
barrelied breach-loader. Near the breach
an opening Is left large enough for a
shell carrying two balls. These balls are
connected by a wire chain. When the gun
is fired the balls take separate barrels
and the chain, which Is wound on wheels
on the inside of the balls, unwinds and
widens out according to the length. The
idea is 20 NOV down everything In front
of the gun. Cannon built on this model
would prove tremendous instruments of
destruction. Those to whom Mr.. Torras
has submitted his plans have written him
that It is doubtful If the rules of civilized
warfare would permit Of such guns being
used. They have requested him, however,
to allow the plans to remain in their hands
for some time longer for reference to the
board of army officers stationed in Wash
ington- The proposed invention seems to
have aroused considerable interest
amongst those officers who have already
seen them, Judging from the tone of the
letters Mr.. Torras has received.
