NOTES FROM BOSTON.
Comments of Papers on the WASH
1nSfOn Club and PIayers

1nStOn Club and PIayers
The Senators are playing good ball.
Captain Mcclure Will land all right.
Mercer handles himself like a winner.
Charley Farrell always helps out with
his headwork
Mercer pitched with splendid Judgment
when hit meant runs, and never failed
to work his man for the limit In three
cases at least he got the best of the um-
piring, and this helped him out immensely.
for no one understands how to play for
points with more grace than the same Mr.
Mercer.
Myers had more chances to show his
speed than in the previous game, and ac-
quilted himself very creditably. Wrigley
played a very good game at short, as did
Reitz at second. Selbachs outfielding was
brilliant in the extreme, and Gettman made
two good catches in right.
FarrelPs work behind the bat was strong
and steady.
Anderson, who played a part in winning
two games from the Baltimores this week.
tried that sort of thing on the Bostons,
making a home run in the first inning
driving in before him Farrell, who had
reached his base on balls. The same play
er drove in what proved the winning run
in the eighth inning with a fine single.
The Washngtons and Bostons participat-
ed in a great struggle on the South End
grounds Friday, the former managing to
finish one run ahead. 1t was game re-
plete with the beauties of base ball. There
were the finest of pitching, phenomenal
fielding and some very pretty hitting. 1t
was a pitching and not a batting game,
the deliveries of Mercer and Willis being
so deceptive that the batsmen could do
little against them.
Take the game as whole, 1T was a
first-class contest, as both teams were in
a scrapping mood and were interfered with
by the umpire. In fact, the Washington
men gathered around Umpire Lynch at the
home plate and bluffed away for five min
utes, led by Captain Mcclure. over one of
their own blunders. while the umpire stood
offering explanations. The point was that
Myers and Wrigley batted out of turn, put
ting the latter out. 1t was simple every
day occurrence. and some of the Washing
ton men fumed to think they must play
according to the rules.
MCGUIRE was full of fight and brought
out a game with more bad blood than has
been seen at the grounds this season. He
pushed Tenney and tried to put Long out,
and acted like boy carrying wheels under
his cap. When oid-timers like Mack 90
looking for trouble they generally get 1t
all right, and no doubt the Senator's will
land all right some of these days.

CHANGES IT'S MIND.
State Board of Canvassers Decides a
Tie in Favor of A. E. Scott and
Then Declares His oppo-
nent Elected.

The state canvassing board met yester-
day afternoon to decide the tie on repre-
Jefferson county. Both candidates, A u.
Scott, the Republican. and DR.. M F.
discussing various ways of deciding the
tie, it was finally decided to allow the
candidates themselves to draw lots.
Secretary of State Bush took p blank
cards and on one of them wrote the word
Representative These cards he shuf-
fed and then placed in hat, where they
were all shaken up together A dollar
first draw, and Mr.. Scott secured it. 1t
was decided that they shouid draw until
one of them got the card with the writ
Attorney General BOYLE climbed on
table and, holding the hat high over the
heads of the candidates allowed Mr. Scott
10 draw while the rest of the state of
ficers. several attorneys and half a dozen
silence. Mr. Scott turned his card up and
it proved to be the lucky one.

of some Of the state officers

he sOrrOwfully remembered the election

boy could have shook that hat with better
results than you did

clare Mr.. Scott elected"
The motion was put and carried, and
Governor Leedy declared Mr.. Scott duly
elected. and everyone supposed that ended
the matter. As he started to go, Mr..
Scott said:
I suppose there is no use of my waiting
for my certificate of election at present
oh, no., said one of the board. that
will be sent to you tomorrow
The fact that Mr. Scott dbl not demand
his certificate then and there may cost
him his seat. The board adjourned into
another room and went into secret ses-
sion. The returns from Ed Little's bat
talon in the Twentieth regiment had just
been received and they were opened to
see what results they would show. An in
VeStigatiOn showed that there was just
one vote cast in the Fifth legislative dis
trict and that was cast for Mr.. Marks, the
fusion candidate. 1t had been given out

standing this the board decided that az
long as they had not adjourned sine die
it was their duty to consider the vote
Just received. The action declaring Mr..
Scott elected was resCinded and Mr.. Marks
was declared elected by majority of one.
The board claims that this was in line
with their decision made Monday, that
small technicalities did not disfranchise
decision was made in accordance with the
argument of a Republican attorney
Mr.. TrOutman says that the decision will
not hold water in the case of Mr.. Scott.
and that the election of DR.. Marks will be
contested in the legislature.

SECRET WILL DIE,
With Him Who Discovered How to
Preserve Flesh in a Wonderful
Manner.

Phillippi, w. Va. Dec 15.-"Old Man
Hamrick,'' who resides three miles from
here in a little story and a half house of
the poorest type, is lying at deaths door
and cannot possibly live long. The old
man has become famous by his great
knowledge of the emba Inning methods,
known only to the Egyptians. The old
house is a CHASTITY appearing place to Wis
itors. Everywhere about the place are
to be seen mummieS of all kinds, human
beings. animals and reptiles, but with all
this the home is devoid of any offensive
Odor.
With the old man will probably die his
wonderful method of preserving flesh. He
has said that he gained his knowledge
from the Bible and he therefore considers
it no secret to those who wish to know
Quire the knowledge of the art as he did.
The women mummieS in the house, which
were secured from the insane asylum of
this state by the old man 10 years ago ana
put through his wonderful process, al
though a little shriveled. are still in a per
feet state of preservation and are to be
seen al the home in a glass case. besides
the negro s head. which he secured from
a Cincinnati medical college in 1890. and
which is also in a glass case, the beard
and flesh being as soft and pllabIe as that
of living person.
About the house, on tWigs EXTENDING
from the wall and limbs of trees, are to
be seen squirrels. birds and all manner of
animals. here and there a large snake,
,Oiled as if ready to attack, and hundreds
of other curiOSitieS.
In an old cigar box. which Hamrick' s
wife who takes great pleasure in explain
iosity, showed the correspondent, are some
reddish cOlOred pieces of something which
after the shoemaker had placed it in the
water before putting on the sole in order
to make it pliable.
what this is? It is the blood of human
being prepared by father years ago, and
which has remained in this condition ever
since

TURNS HIGGINS OUT.
tence of a Burglar Because
His Family is Needy.

Governor Leedy has cOmmuted to one
year and three months the sentence of
c. a. Higgins, who is in the peniten-
tiary for stealing wheat in Saline coun-
". He was sent to the penitentiary in
the summer of 1897 for a term of six
years. The Communication let's him out
Immediately.
This is not the first time Higgins has
been in jail He was tried in the dis
trict court of Saline county three or
four years ago for assault with intent to
Kill, but was let off with a Jail sentence
for simple assault. He was kept in Jail
for several months and finally released
by the county commissioners. After his
release he got into several minor
scrapes, and was finally arrested for
stealing three loads of wheat which he
sold under an assumed name.
About the time of his arrest he mar
ried a woman several years his senior,
who had been but recently divorced
from a former husband, and had not
waited the time required by law before
she had married Higgins. It was
through her efforts that Higgins was
released from the penitentiary. The
beard of pardons told Governor Leedy
that his family was in needy circum-
stances and on those grounds he ought
TO be pardOned, and Governor Leedy
acted on the recommendation of the
