Minehan's Horse Proves to be a Close Match
for Carrolls "Blaze Face"

Minehan's Horse Proves to be Close Match
for Carrolls "Blaze Face"
The second heat of the Carroll Mine
han trotting race yesterday afternoon
was the prettiest brush ever seen on
the E street track. With L. V. Car
roll urging his "Blaze Face" to the
utmost, and Jake Lissner getting the
best possible movement out of Nine
hams PAGER, there was scarcely dis
cernable distance between the two,
and the finish was Carroll's only by a
neck.
This proved the advantage of a
good whip. In the first heat, only a
few minutes before, Minehan's horse,
with negro driver, showed up seven
ty-five feet in the rear at the finish.
1t was evident that the trotter was
capable OF better work, and Lissner's s
skillful handling of the ribbons
brought it out in the second heat.
Carroll drove "Blaze Face" in both
heats.
The purse was $50. with a number
of side bets. Messrs. F. McC. Brown,
Fl. S. Lee and Charles Morris judged
the race.
The crowd was a large one, and bet
ting was lively. A special permit was
obtained from Mayor Mason for the
drive.
The discovery that these two
horses are so evenly matched will un-
doubtedly result in other races be-
tween them In the future.

SAVES HIS LICENSE.
The Supreme Court Gave Direction in the
Newman Case.

/ @'N"@A0A S0oOs
Under the decision of the supreme
court Capt. I. Newman will have to
pay the fine of $50, which was assessed
against him for keeping his saloon
open on election night. He will not,
however, lose his license.
The supreme court gave direction
that that part of the sentence relating
to the revocal of tue license be over
ruled. This was all that the defend
ant, through his attorneys, contended
for. The case was argued before the
supreme court, on this ground, by
Judge Whitfield, and the decision ee-
incides with Judge Whitfield's claims.
The following is what the supreme
court has to say, in its decision,
touching the revOcal of license:
"a sentence imposed upon one con-
victed of violating law of this state
controlling or regulating the liquor
traffic. cannot lawfully include re-
vocation of license or a judgment dis
qualifying the accused from selling
any form of intoxicating liquors for
term of one year from the date of the
license, when there was no charge IN
the indictment, or presentment, that
he was licensed dealer in such
liquors.
"The verdict in the present case was
warranted by the evidence, but for the
reason above stated the judgment was
erroneous in so far as it directed that
the license of the defendant to sell
whiskey, and all other Intoxicating or
malt liquors in the county of Glynn,
be and the same is hereby forfeited,
and the defendant is hereby disquali-
fed from selling any form of intoxi-
eating liquors for the term of twelve
months from the date of this SENTENCE
Direction is given that this part of the
judgment be stricken"

CHIPLEY CRAWLS
AHEAD OF CALL.
The Pensacola Candidate Now
Leads the Florida Senator
ial Handicap.
BREAK OF DEADLOCK PROBABLE.
Claimed That Call Has Lost All His Chances
and Chipley or Compromise Man
Will Win.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 6.-The'l 'long
expected has come at last and Chipley
has gone ahead of Call, and the dlsIn-
tegration of the Raney column has
begun. The result of today's ballot
was as follows:
Chipley, So; Call, So; Raney. 10;
Hooker, 3; Burford, l.
It seems to be generally understood
that the senatorial situation has as
sumed new phase, and that the dead
lock will soon be broken, and in a way
that will prove highly satisfactory to
the friends of conservative democracy.
In the event of a deadlock, which
now seems less probable than it did
twenty-four hours ago, it has been
suggested that Raney and Chipley
might be induced to withdraw, unite
their forces and elect a compromise
man.

FORTY THOUSAND ARE REPULSED.
The Greek General the Hero of the Hour.
Has the Tide Of Battle
Turned?

Headquarters Greek army in Thes-
sally, Pharsalos, May 6.-The Greeks
cETm decisive victory In the fighting
which has taken place here and at We
lestino today.
The Greek line was attacked by a
strong Turkish force of 10000 infan-
try, In addition to large force of ar
tlllery and cavalry. The Greeks right
wing was in command of Colonel Nav
romichaels and the left wing was COM
manded by Colonel Makris.
Both of the Greek commanders re-
pulsed the Turks with great slaugh-
ter. The railroad station was de-
stroyed by the Turks shells, and rail-
way communication between this
p)int and Volo was interrupted.
The enemy also abandoned large
number of guns.
Preparations are being made with
the utmost activity for a decisive bat
tie, which seems inevitable for tomor-
row. The cheering from the Greek
camp can be clearly heard from here.
The morale of the Greek forces is now
all that could be desired.

Troops In the Transvaal Holding Themselves
In Readiness.
London, May GA special dispatch
from Cape Town says that the army
reserve of the colony of Natal has been
notified to hold itself in readiness for
active service. 1t is further announced
that the authorities of the Transvaal
have instructed their field cornets to
thoroughly patrol the Natal border
and report instantly any suspicious
movements.
Finally, the special says that cir
cular from the Transvaal has been dis
tributed IN Cape Colony and in the
Orange Free State, calling upon the

Greece Not Ready.

London, May 5.-A dispatch to the
Chronicle from Athens says that the
diplomats have offered to intervene
between Greece and Turkey. Greece
has reserved her reply. 1t is not un-
likely that the end of the hostllities
wilt take the form of brief armlstice.
This gained, nobody believes that
fighting will ever be resumed. In
stead of hoping for Turkish success
official Europe is now earnestly desir-
Gus that the Greeks should gain some
advantage in the field.

Episcopal Convention.
Macon, May 6.-The second day of
the convention of the Episcopal do
cese of Georgia was taken up mainly
in attending to matters of routine.
During this morning addresses were
delivered by Revs. W. M. Walton, of
Americus; John S. MiIbank, of Way
cross, and J. W. Turner, of Fitzgerald,
on the subject of mission work. These
addresses, with reports of committees
on claims to seats, took up most of the
day. The real work of the convention
has not yet commenced.
The custom of leaving the church
during the celebration of the holy
communion was severely comm ented
on by the bishop. He said that he
would not tolerate it longer, as it was
both disrespectful and improper, and
that the clergy should use every legit-
innate means in their power to prevent

MOnths-GeOrge, the Rocking Chair
HObO-0ther Cases.

There is vim and push about the
proceedings of Judge Sam Atkinson's
city court that impresses those who
visit 1t. No delays are countenanced
by Judge Atkinson, except in extra
ordinary instances, and hence it is
that, with an unusually large docket,
the court has finished its business in
a session of one week.
Yesterday, except in two cases, was
devoted to criminal business.
The bonds of Isabelle Floyd, charged
with larceny frog the house, and Liz
zie Hood, charged with assault and
battery, were forfeited for their nom
appearance in court.

ceny from the house, had his bond also
forfeited.

chicken thief, who made continued
depredations on the backyards of the
suburban citizens, getting comfort
able livelihood out of the work, and
who was captured by officer Tom Cor
don, was found guilty. Judge Atkin-
son gave him the limit of the law
twelve months on the chaingang,
without the privilege of paying a fine.
Frank George, the white "hobo,"
who made a practice of sitting COM
fortably on front verandas of fashion
able houses, was put on trial for va
grancy. George presented pictur-
esque figure. He wore his pants in
side out and coat about five sizes too
large, decorated with cigarette but
tons, and was the typical Weary
Wraggles of the comic papers. He
was sentenced to six months on the
chaingang.
Robert Charlton, charged Ei+h 'aat-
ing his wife, was found guilty and
sentenced to twelve months.
W. G. Ludlow, white, was tried for
pointing a pistol at j. Lyles, at Sterl-
ing. Ludlow was acquitted by the
jury.
John Williams, the little negro who
stole jugs from the boat of Jake Hop
kins, the ferryman. allowed the judge
to hear his case. He was convicted
and will be sentenced today.
Col. James CaInan conducted the
defense in the two preceding cases.
The case of S. r. Lang, colored,
charged with adultery, gave the jury
which tried it considerable trouble.
They retired to find verdict at IL a.
m. and did not agree until 6 p. m.
Their verdict was not guilty. john
son g. Krauss defended Lang.
Judge Atkinson then discharged the
jury for the term. Court will, how

Greek Victory.
Athens, May 6.-Full credit is given
to General SmOlenski for the victory
at Velestlno, and in some quarters it is
claimed that the Turks have been fin
ally repulsed in that direction. This
belief, however, is not general. Gen.
eral Smolenskl's victory was the occa =
sion of great rejoicing here.
Prince Constantine telegraphed his
congratulations to General Smolenski
and received reply from the Greek
commander saying:
"Our success has been very brilliant,
thanks to the courage of the men, but
it is by Gods help that we have re-
PEELED the enemy"

The Scale of Prices Demanded By the
LongShOremen.
The Longshoremen's Union will de-

present scale of wages to 30, 20 and 10
cents per hour for the respective class
es of hands.
This was the scale in force several
years ago, but 1t was subsequentlyere-
duced by the stevedOres. The steve
dores do not express themselves on the
subject, but it is not believed they will
grant the increase. A strike, if ordered
by the longshoremen, would affect be-
tween 200 and 300 dock laborers, and
necessitate their abandonment of
work, In this event, the stevedores
would undoubtedly import labor from
