tho Verdict ASIDE.
Some time ago the case OF Miss Mary
Hldebrand against the Richmond Trac-
ton Company for $4,000. for injuries sus-
tained by being run over by car at
Oakwood, was concluded I'm the Circuit
Court by a verdict Of sl2.2jO In favor OF
the plaintiff.
After the verdict was rendered motion
was made 10 set IT aside on the usual
ground OF being contrary to the law and
the evidence and that the amount named

the plea was entered that IL should be set
aside because of er-discovered evil
dence.
on this latter motion witnesses have
been examined in the office of Judge

LOSES GEORGE, TOO.
The Hard-Hittfns Right Fielder
Goes to ST. Louis

Charley Comiskey, the Browns former lead
sr, spent yesterday in st. Louis, accompanied
by his wife, says the st. Louis GlObe-Demo-
crat. "Commy" visited SpOrtsmans park
during the afternoon while the horse racing
was at its height, and must have brushed
away a tear as he saw the surroundings.
True the base ball diamond is there but
one believe that the park was the home Of Il
league base ball team.
COmiskey and Won der Abe spent several
hours together, and talked of old times.
Since Comiskey left here he has become iden-
titled with the st. Paul club, Of the West
ern league as owner, and is now worth be-
tween $4,000 and $50, 000 He looks bigger and
better than ever, though grayer. "Commy''
takes delight in his gray nalrs, and declares
that he got them in keeping awake nights in
the old days to devise ways and means to
build the team up.
1t was different then than it Is now" he
declared. when l was here the city had a
popu alton of probably from 200 900 to 300 900
less than it has now. Then Won der Abe
with a salary list at least One-third larger
than he had the past season aud paving his
players for seven months work instead of
only six, as is now the case, made barrels of
money. His team was a great one but since
| left him he seems to have had hard luck
No matter what move he made it turned out
for the worst"
Comiskey completed a deal with Won der
re whereby BILLY George, his heavy-hit-
ting 0utfe.der, comes to st. Louis. Charley
is dead stuck on his new lot as a magnate
but still has a Eankering after St Louis
city in the country. 1t is not known whether
Won der Abe is after Comskey to manage
his club again, but for the good of the game
il is to be hoped that such Is the case.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 1.-THE

succession for the first time in its his
tory. and if the Orioles take it again.
il is theirs absolutely. The former
champions also take so per cent of the
money paid in at the gates during the
three games in Boston and the two
played here, while the winners of the
pennant will get but 40 per cent, I'M
less. as is generally believed, the play
ers have agreed among themselves to
divide the spOils equally. Today's
game like all the others of the series,
save the first one, was an easy prOpO-
sition for the Baltimoreans, who won
much as they pleased, while the visit
Crs never appeared to think they had
any chance whatever. An audience so
small that the management refused to
give the exact number and so utterly
devoid of enthusiasm that scarcely a
ripple Of applause occurred, saw it
done and appeared to be glad that the
game, which, by the way, was one of
the shortest on record, was over and
that the season was over with it.
There may have been a thousand peo-
pie on the grounds, but a better esti-
mate would place the attendance at
$50. This fact, in view of the pleasant
weather which prevailed, indicates
that Baltimore base ball enthusiasts
have had surfeit of the sport for the
time being and that they do not look
upon a Temple cup game as being any
thing out of the ordinary. At its con-
Clusion both teams disbanded, and
many of the players left for their
homes, two of them, Jennings and
Kelly, to prepare for the early assump-
ton Of marital responsibilities. The

CONsUELO IS AMBITIOUS.
Wants to yyrest Marlborough House
From, the Prince of HN.Jas

Consuelo, duchess of Marlborough. has a
new ambition. She desires not only to restore
Blenheim to its former splendcr but also to
obtain for her husband and his heirs the Lon
don home which was in the family for gener-
atoms. She has conceived with true Ameri-
can daring the project of winning back Marl-
borough house from royal control and placing
it once more in the hands of the Spencer
Churchills. The magnitude Of the task to
which she has set herself may be estimated
when it is remembered that Marlborough
house has become the town residence of the
Prince of Wales and that the heir apparent
ard his family have conceived for it a great
affection. But wealth, tact and social in
fuenCe can accomplish wonders, and stran-
ger things have happened than for the prince
to abandon his town house in favor of a sub
ject with reasonable claims to its possession.
Marlborough house was built by Sarah, the
first and greatest Duches of Marlborough,
on the gardens OF the old Friary. stipu-
laton in the original lease was to the effect
that the Friary gardens should not be built
over. For this reason the gardens, although
in the heart of London, remain TO this day
ough quarreled bitterly with her architect
when the mansion was under way, and she
completed the pans herself and personally
directed their carrying out Marlborough
house is considered one of the best con-
structed houses in London.
The Marlboroughs lived in Marlborough
house from the days OF the great duchess
down to the first decade of the present CEN
fury. when the heavy debts of the then duke
and his son, Lord BiandfoId caused the fam
lily to part with it in order that Blenheim
might be saved. Royalty at once leased the
house for Prince Leopold husband of the i'll
fated heiress Of George ". In 1881 the Queen
Dowager Adelaide went to live there, and in
1868 the present queen assigned it to the
newly married Prince and Princess of Wales
The mansion was enlarged and improved, SO
that if Duchess Consuelo succeeds in regain
ing Marlborough house she will find it much
improved since it passed from the hands of
the Spencer Churchills. The chief authority
for the rumor of the Duchess Of Marlbor-
ough's intentions in regard to the house is a
well-known London lawyer, whose name has
long been a household word for his skill in
managing such delicate affairs.

RACE WAR RENEWED.
New Trouble at Alton Over the
school Question

ALTON, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-THE race war in the
public schools broke out afresh this morning.
List week the colored people stopped sending
their children to the schools for the whites,
supposedly awaiting a decision from the
courts. The police guards accordingly were
withdrawn. This morning the coIored chill
dren appeared and with rush overpowered
the janitor, struck the lady principal down
and ee e them and school was be!d f6a
rest Of the day with the police guarding the
doors. The board of education will this week
appoint a truant officer who will attempt to
especially set apart for them. Serious trou-
be seems imminent as the colored parents
are persistent in sending their children to
the white schools.
