Interest Grows in the Ohio-west virginia
League as the Season Approaches.
The lovers of the National game in
Marietta are looking forward eagerly
to the opening of the season of 1897 in
May and are impatentto get sight of
the home team. Manager James Nc
Keever will arrive from Pittsburg the
first of next week and push the final
arrangements rapidly.
The team will be collected together
in April for practice and probably u
trip through the Interstate League.
The season will open with Parkers-
burg in Marietta on Monday and the
two clubs will play the entire week in
the two cities on alternate days. The
games will be for blood from the start.
| Danny Dolan, of st. Louis who will
be on the pitching force of the Mariet-
tas, will go on the practice trip with
the st. Louis League team, pitching
for and against that aggregation of
heavy hitters, and he may be expected
| to arrive for the seasons work in first
class condition.
The fence on the West side of the
ball park will be torn down at once to
accommodate the fill for the Fourth
street paving, but the Council has
agreed that the fill there shall be made
without delay and the fence will be re-
built long before the opening of the
season.
Although not officially announced
the two salaried umpires have been
agreed upon unanimously by the man.
ayers of the several clubs. One is
from Chicopee Falls, Mass, and the
other from Richmond, Ind. The terms
of the organization of the League were
that neither umpire should come from
any of the cities in the circuit. Zanes
vile people wanted Mercer badly, bu
he could not be given place on &C
count of this rule.
1t is possible that A. L. Moore, o
GAINESVILLE, will be made the permanen
president of the League, as he is no
financially interested in the GAINESVILLE
management and is well qualified TO
the position.

telegram from the Chief of Police of

cove. nothing of Miss German, sup
posed TO have been with him.
Constable J. H. Dye idforms us that
on Thursday he received letter from
Mr.. Bickert in which he stated that the
missing girl was in Los Angeles but
gave no particulars. In the light OF
Bickert's telegram saying he knew
nothing whatever of her whereabouts,
the letter does not carry conviction.
Mr.. John German, the father of the
missing girl, and her brother William
left Thursday for California, firmly re-
solved to clear up the mystery.

The County Court Has Granted No Elcr-
tric Road Franchise.
The Marietta papers, commenting on
the application of u. Il. Darrow made
Monday to the county court for a fran
chise for an electric road from this city
to Williamstown, say the franchise was
granted.
The county court has not granted
any such frahchise and has not even
considered it. An order granting the
franchise was submitted to the court
for their approval, but was pigeon
holed and will not be acted on for some
time. The court feels that the grant
ing of such franchise is an important
matter and it proposes to be careful
and go slow. There are now on file
with the court two or three other ap-
plications for such franchise, none of
which haye been acted on. The Dar-
row petition will be taken up in it's
turn. Journal

END OF A MONSTER SUIT.
Justice Beach of the New York
 Supreme Court
HANDS DOWN HIS DECISION
In the Suit of Heirs of Robert Edwards Against the Trinity Church Corporation 10
 Regain Valuable Property.

New York, Sept. 3.-The suit brough. against Trinity Church corporation by Isaac Edwards, Joel B. Edwards and s-v era1 others, hdrs of Robert Edwards, to establish their title to sixty-.wo acres of land in the residential and business districts of New York City, was today dismissed by Justice Beach, of the su preme court. The plaintiffs, residents of Southern California, assert that they are heirs and lineal descendants of the two brothers and the sister of Rob- ert Edwards. who prior to May 26, 17S0, was lawfully possessed in fee simple of a cer.ain tract of land beginning at the southeast corner of Broadway and Canal streets, thence to the lire of Chattam Square, thence soufheas, to the line of Chatham Square to the eastern terminus of New Chambers street theme west along New Chambers and Chambers street co its intersection with Broadway.
 The plaintiffs all sge that on May 26, 17So, Robert Edwards, ln consideration of 1000 pounds sterling leased this tract of land to the Trinity Church corporation for term of ninety-nins years. Rober. Ed wards died in 1795 tntestate. and never. having been married, left as heirs his brothers and sister.
 The suit was to recover possession of the land and for decision compelling the Trinity Church corporate to account for tthe rents and profits arising shere- from since the expiration of the lease.
 The suit referred to above created con- siderable interest in this section, there being number of direct descendants of the Edwards brothers and sis.er in Blr- mingham and north Alabama. LAt the time of the announcems mt of the intention of some of the heirs to bring the suit the heirs in Alabama went to work securing evidence to prove their rights to portions of the estate in the event of successful issue to the contestants. The ruling of Justice Beach will prove damper to 'aheir expected good fortune.

COLLECTOR BRADY'S ACTION
And the Outcome of It Being Watched by the
 Civil Service Commission.

Washington, S=pt. 3-The refusal of Col James D. Brady, collector of internal revenue for the Richmond, Va, district, to reappont the deputies of his prede- cessor has been formally called to ths attention of Secretary Gage. It appears that while civil service examinations have been held in that district the pres service commission from certifying an eligible list so that Col. Brady, in ap- pointing outsiders, was acting within the emergency of the law. This appears however, temporarily. There is no in- formation at the treasury department as to the report that Collector Brady has discharged the clerks in the office who wd,e under the protection of the civil service. The civil ssrvice commission. at the request of Secretary Gage, is pre- pairing an eligible list of deputy collec- tors which will be forwarded to the ccl- lector at once and probably will reach him tomorrow morning
 The civil service commissioners are watching the progress of the affair with interest as a test of the issue as to wheth- CT internal revenue deputies can be clas- slfied. Col Lamb, representing the dsp- uties, has been here consulting with the officials and has advised the commis- sion that on Section 1763 of the revised statutes he would rs st the case and will bring quo warranto proceedings in Rich- mond today.
