THREW HIMSELF FROM A WINDOW
A COnsumptive Kills Himself in n
Horrible Manner.

A Consumptive Kills Himself in a
Horrible Manner.
Atlanta, Ga. March S1.-Frank ODon-
nelly made wild leap from the window
of house at 10 Magnolia street last night
about o'clock and drove the sharp edge
of a plank fence into his skull.
O'Donnelly was dead before help could
reach him. His skun was badly frac-
tured and large portion of it was stick
ing to the fence where he struck. He was
in the last stages of consumption, and il
is supposed that the rash deed was
prompted by a general dependency. He
was not only dying with this dreadful
disease. but was totally blind and liter
ally covered with some kind of cancerous
sores. His condition has been such thai
he has not been able TO work or even
take care of himself in over six years.
O'Donnelly came to Atlanta some six
weeks ago in search of place where the
ravages of his disease would be lessened,
if not entirely abated. He was about IS
years old, and claimed Ann Arbor, Mich,
as his home.

Jacksonville, Fla, March a.-With a
large Cuban flag flying from the peak and
the United States flag from the gaff. the
tug Dauntless backed out into the ST.
Johns river at noon to-day and caused
considerable excitement along the river
front, for nearly every one who saw her
thought that she would attempt to run
the blockade established by Uncle Sam.
The object was soon apparent, for a
photographer was seen on a lighter with a
camera ready to take a shot at the noted
little flibuster. On board the Dauntless
was the owner, W. A. Bisbee, and an Off
Ger of the cutter Boutwell,. After the pho
tograph had been taken the Dauntless ran
up the river nearly 20 the drawbrldge and
then returned to her dock.
on board the cutter could be seen OIL
GERS and men intently watching the
Dauntless. The owner win not attempt
TO go out until he can secure legal clear
ance.
AS the Vesuvius was absent and only
the cutter Boutwell, in view the latter
officers thought sure that the Dauntless
was up to some trick and considerable ex-
element ensued for an hour or so. lieu
tenant was sent off to take charge and
keen her at her dock. Cubans and others
laughed heartily over the scare given the
government officers.

C. L. AS WON BY CRACK PLAYING
Defeated the Y. NJ. II. A.'s-AII the
Teams Now Tied.

IenmH NOW AheO.
The Catholic Library Association defeat
ed the Young Mems Hebrew Association
last night In one of the prettiest played
games of indoor base ball ever seen in Sa-
vannah. Fully 500 people saw the game
and many were turned away for want of
Every available seat was taken and sew
eral rows Of people stood.
There never was a more enthusiastic
crowd at a base ball game be It indoor or
outdoor. A large sign requested the spec
tators TO applaud with the hands only.
but about as much attention was paid to
II as a small boy pays to a command to
be good" At times the spectators rose in
their seats and simply shouted them
selves hoarse. The game was full of
brilliant plays on both sides and those
who made them were literally applauded.
Horrigan pitched a good game for the
Library team, and his support was excel
lent. The only error made on that side
was charged up against the pitcher him
self. To the splendid fielding OF the c.
l.. A. boys can be credited the failure of
their opponents to score more than once.
Several times the Y. M. II. A. men reach
ed third, with good chances to score, but
the Library boys played close up and put
them out in good shape.
SulliVan's catching for the G. l.. A. was
fautless, notwithstanding the fact that
he had a sprained wrist, and got an acct
dental whaek on the head from one of
the batsmen. He was lightning on foul
tips and got the ball to the bases in great
shape.
The Y. M. II. A. team could not touch
Horrigan, only getting one hit Their
fielding was good, but their errors were
costly, and made at critical times. The
boys played hard, though, and were game
to the last.
Herman Long, the dapper shortstop Of
the Boston team, called the ball and
strikes and umpired the bases, and Charlie
Camel gave the decisions on foul tips
and the home plate. The entire Boston
team was seated on the floor and watched
the game with interest.
The three associations are now tie, each
having won two and lost the same num-
Der of games Each team plays two more
games. and 1t is safe to say that they
will be played for all that Is In them.
The next game will be played next We'd
