BEN SAYLOR
IN CHICAGO.

Ben Savior, the champion biIliardist of
California, is playing some excellent
games in Chicago. Speaking of recent
tournament, played in Chicago, an ex-
change says:
Sutton was the victim IN Clarence GREEN'S
three-cushion carom handicap tourney, being
defeated by both Saylor and Cation. Saylor
took the eX- X-Canadian into camp in the after
noon by score OF 16 10 IA, but Cation was
the winner i'll the evening, scoring 20 10 SUIT
toms 10, including his handicap OF one. The
afternoon game was, account of cons slider
bic safety play by both contestants, dragged
out TO forty-two innings.
Sutton had the evening game well in hand
at the end of the twenty-fifth inning, with
thirteen points on his string TO Cations eight t.
The latter picked up five beauties in his
twenty-slxth essay, licked off one in his thirty
first, and finished with two runs of three in
mis- thlrty-fourtn and thirty-hfth innings.
Some wonderful averages were made in the
short games after the tolrney. The most note
worthy of these was Gallsgher's phenomenal
run OF eight at three CUSHIONS He and Cat
ton engaged IN a game consisting OF that num-
ber of points. Cation won the bank, missed,
and Gallagher, after picking off q marvellous
slx-cusnion shot, followed 1t up with seven
more beauties and finished the game, thereby
making an average of eight

The selection of men for the training
table at Berkeley indicates who, in the
judgment of Coach Mott and Captain
Hall, are the most promising candidates
der. Craig Edwards, Greisberg, Guiber-
son. Hall, Hopper, Haskell. Kaarsberg.
McDermott, Pringle. Spence, Thane,
Whippie, Mayer, Simpson and Fowler
fourteen in all.
The past week has been one of much
shifting among the Berkeley players. The
work has been lighter than usual and
devoted largely to signal practice, as many
of the men are now in first-class con0ition,
and Trainer Lean does not want to run
any risk of having them ''go stale"
There have been fewer accidents on the
Berkeley gridlron than ever before at this
stage of the football season. Haskell and
Premo are the only men who are laid up
at present, and tney will probably be all
right again in few weeks.

CRICKET GAMES
AT PENRYN.

The Placer County cricket festival,
which started last Sunday and is still in
progress, has so far been a brilliant sue
cess, and the home team has satisfied
their friends by carrying all before them
so far.
The ball was opened by a match with
the Pacifcs, who, being unable to secure a
full team from their own club, this being
their second visit this year, had enlisted
the services of r. B. Hogue and }. J. r.
Peel of the Alamedas. The team played
under the name of the San Francis co
Wanderers. The home club batted first
and scored 125, thanks chiefly to very
correct inning OF 50 by Simmonds, who
went in first and carried his bat, also 10 a
brilliant A contributed by Godfrey
Jackson.
For the visitors J. J. Theobad did the
best work with a well-played 81, but they
were all out for 76, Dickinson being finely
caught at long-on by Jackson and Hogue
snapped at point before those two
dangerous batsmen could get set. In
their second essay Placer put up 124 for 3
wickets-Simmonds Is, A. Jackson As
and G. Jackson 81, both Jacksons being
not out.
The second match was a two days fix
ture with Santa Clara County, who were
five men short and were easily beaten.
The scores were: Placers 175 (Turner 81
Butt Al, Roam 30; Santa Caras 45 and 70
(Bowley "a. Coles 22).
Lake County were the third visiting
team. They made a very poor start,
scoring only 20 runs in their first inning.
Turner took wickeis for 13 runs and
Paul for 3-the latter commencing his
analysis with consecutive maidens.
Placer replied with 1876 (Turner 30, G.
Jackson 40 and four other scores over 10l
In their second inning Lake County
Jared much better and put up II runs, but
the match went to the Placer men by an
inning and 90 runs.
The final match OF the carnival will be
played to-day and tomorrow, when the
hitherto conquering Pacerites will meet
the powerful Alameda team. UMPIRE

Important TRANSACTION Reported from
Sioux City.
A deal of great import to Sioux City
and that section of the northwest was
closed by signing of contracts between
the Sioux City Stock Yards company
and the Cudahy Packing company,
which means that the Cudahys are to be
identified with Sioux City for all time.
Final signing of the papers occurred
in Chicago. The Cudahys will double
the killing capacity of their present
plant, greatly increase the storage ia
cilities by the erection of new build
ing and equip with new and modern
machinery the plant of the old Sioux
City Dressed Beef e. Canning company,
for which they have just contracted.
The beef-killing capacity will be in
creased to 1000 per day, the sheep-kill-
ing capacity will be the same, while the
hog-slaughtering capacity will be
1000. These improvements, together
with the glue and soap works, will cost
in the neighborhood of $500, 900 and will
be begun at once. Employment will be
given to 200 men.

President Abrahamovics. When he sus-
pended Herr Wolff for three days and
had him dragged, shrieking and swear
ing, from the chamber, the German ma

made fierce onslaught on the presi-
dents dais, and but for the protection
afforded him by police and officials
Ab1hamovics would have been torn in

San Francisco, Nov. 29.-One of the
most important movements originating
with the new Chinese minister, WI
Ting Fang, to bring into closer rela-
tions the whole people and the people
of his own race, is shortly to be con-
summated in this city. This project
contemplates the erection of a school
building, the bringing of corps of
teachers from China and the education
of the Chinese youth of this city and
coast in both English and Chinese
branches. The Chinese government is
preparing to expend not less than $4O,-
900 in carrying out this project and pro-
viding for the permanent maintenance
of the school. Tuition will be strictly
free, but small charge may be made
for instruction in special branches. If
the experiment proves a success, SIM
liar schools will be established by the
government in other sections of the
United States.

pared the constant opposition of Sheri,

usual promptness, replied that one i'm

NOT GUILTY.
Lewis Hyde Cleared of the Charge
of Obstructing a Train.

OF oDstructinS Train.
The jury in the Lewis Hyde case at
Charles City returned verdict of not
guilty. On the morning of May o, as
the regular freight No. 452 from the
north was within two miles of Charles
City it ran into pile of ties on the
track which broke the pilot off the loco
motive. When the train got down far
Their, between the coal shed and juno
ton, there was another pile of ties on
the track which the engineer discov-
cred in time to stop the train before
doing further damage. Two ties were
placed on the track, crossing one an
other in the center, with one end of
each resting on each rail. The obstruc-
ton was placed just around the curve,
where it was hidden from the sight of
the trainmen until too late to stop.
When the engine struck the ties the
men in the coboose thought something
had broken down, though the engine
men were cognizant of what the trouble
was. A big splinter from one of the
ties was carried under the train and
was lodged between the brake beam
and brace rod on one Of the cars.
Where one end of the ties was forced
into the ground a great hole was made.
The second obstruction was about one
half mile south of the first.

covered ut Des MOines.
1t has been discovered that there are
$1,000 more of general fund warrants
Of Des Moines in circulation than are
evidenced by the books of the city audi
tor. The matter was laid before the
council in a secret session as committee
of the whole by the city treasurer, A. b.
Elliott. He stated that his books
showed $1,000 more of warrants out
than are indicated by the records of the
auditor, and that the discrepancy is of
long standing. According to the treas
urer's books there are $4,000 of gem
cral fund warrants out; the accounts of
the auditor indicate there ought to be
only $4,000 out. 1t is known also that
there are discrepancies in other funds,
but their amount is not yet ascertained.
Treasurer Elliott asked the council
to have an expert examine all the ac-
counts. Both he and City Auditor Han
ger explained that the discrepancies
date back of their terms of Office. The
council discussed the matter, and made
every effort to keep it secret. 1t is
stated that the total discrepancies viii
reach $4,000, and that they represent
steals made several years ago. An ex-
pert will be employed.

evidence in the case was sufficient for
the other jurors to convict Mckenzie of
murder in the first degree, but Bear
claimed that his conscience could not
allow him to give his consent DO a
verdict of death in the case. He said
the evidence was strong, but not
enough to inhict the death penalty.

Mr.. and Mrs. Beckwith have made
their home in Mount Pleasant. Part of

and master the details of his fathers
affairs.

about our elopement." remarked Mr.. Beck
with. I'VE regret that the elopement was
necessary, and we feel chagrined at the
publicity given the affair We gre now
just Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Beckwlth. We
are going to act, live and work just as
other young married folks do. There will
be no reception in honor of the bride. We
object to it. We are perfectly happy and
contented, and want Mount Pleasant peo-
pie to treat us cordially and kindly and
make our little home just as pleasant as
that of other happy young married
couples"
