viii Kick the Pigskin This After
noon at bolton street Park.
The hospital team of the First Division
will line up this afternoon at the Bolton
street park to play the team of the Fourth
Illinois Regiment. 1t is said the hospital
fellows have a jam up team. 1t is known
there are good players on the Fourth's
eleven, and it is figured that a splendid ex-
hibition of foot bah may be seen by those
who attend.
The hospital team will make its maiden
appearance. The majority of the men. it
is said, are old college players, and those
who should know say they will be able
to put up pretty game. The
Fourth played the First Texas.
and, though beaten by the Texas fellows
who had an exceptionally strong eleven
it showed of what stuff it was made and
that il understands the science of manip-
ulating the pigskin and that the members
of the team have the strength and nerve
to play.
Civilians and officers will not be charged
any more to see the game this afternoon
than enlisted men. The general price will
be put down to % cents for everybody. The
band of the Fourth is expected TO be on
hand, together with a big gang of root
crs. The line up for the game has been
announced as follows:

FRANCIS u. IxELLER pARDoNED.
Citizenship Rights Restored tn
.JOsenh HnIIinan.

Francis Barlow Keller, who was SEN
fenced TO five years in the penitenuary for
seduction by the Superior Court in 1894
has been pardoned by the Governor. Clerk
Carr Of the Superior Court received COM
munlcatlon TO this effect yesterday. Keller
has probably been released by this time.
The onense for which Keller was sent
up was committed IN 1891 and when ar
raigned for Trial had given a chance to
either marry the girl he seduced or stand
trial, ne preferred to be tried. He refused
10 accept the proposition that the prosecu-
tion would be withdrawn on condition that
he married the girl and the hearing pro-
ceeded. The jury found Keller guilty. The
court fixed his Imprisonment at five years.
He has served three Of the five.
The prison board has recommended that
the term already served by Keller is a
Sufficient vindlcation OF the Faw, that the
Solicitor General and citizens Of Chatham

as a reason for the pardon that the young

Kellers case was fully written up in the
newspapers. both at the time he was ar
rested and during the trial. He will be re-

CAR AND AMBULANCE MIX Up.
Police Wagon Pole Smashed by a
Whitaker street Car.

Whitaker street Car.
A street car and the police ambulance
colTided yesterday afternoon shortly after
1 O'Clock at Whitaker street and Oglo-
thorpe avenue. Both were going at a rapid
rate of speed when they came in sight of
each other. Gongs then ratified and efforts
were made to bring both the team and the
car to a stop but this could not be done
until too late to avoid the set-to.
The car struck the horses on the right
SIDE throwing both of them down and
broke the pole Of the ambulance. The ami
mails struggled to their feet and started to
run. Driver Kelly was equal to the emer-
gency, however, and prevented their get
ting away, Notwithstanding he had the loss
of a pole to hamper him.
The driver turned the horses heads
across Oglethorpe avenue TO the left side
Several people ran up and aided in bring
ing them to a stop When they finally came
to a halt they We're standing on the sloDe
of the embankment upon which the side
walk runs. and the ambulance was also
half way up. Nothing more than the pole
was broken, and the horses, driver and
Policeman Mock, who was in the ambu-
lance as call officer, escaped without in
jury.
Witnesses to the accident disagree in
fixing the blame. Some of them said Motor
man Banks was to blame and others that
it was the fault of Driver Kelly. The af-
fair win probably be settled in Police
Court, as Policeman Mock secured the
number of the car and the name of the
motorman, and said he intended making
a case against him for recklessly running
his car

engineer work on two or three of the ward
buildings will have been completed. The
workmen will begin putting in the interior
partitions to-day. Many of the buildings
are under way. though work has not start
ed on all.
The stretch. of Isle of Hope car track.

been the inability of the company 10 Sc

fore the ground across which the cars run

DEBORAH WINDMILL SOLD.
The Challenge Windmill Company Be
come Owners Of the Decorah
Plant.

For several days it has been pretty
well known in Decorah that the Decor
ah Windmill Company had sold its
plant with the patents, etc., to the
Challenge Windmill Co., of Batavia,
Ill. The transfer was made o week
ago Saturday, and the machinery,
stock, etc., will be removed to Geneva,
ILL.,, and will be operated under the
name of the Snow Windmill Co. The
name "Decorah" will be retained, to-
gether with all the features of the mill.
H. c. Goddard will continue the man.
agement of the factory, and the me-
chanics employed here will be given q
chance to go to Geneva with the plant.
The plant will probably not be moved
until November. We deeply regret to
record the departure of this plant for it
has been a prominent feature in De-
corah's business interests.
