MIRACULOUS HOLD ON LIFE.
Boy Lives IS Days With His Skull
fractured in Several Places.

Rome. Ca, April Son Wednesday,
March %, at noon, Jimmy Phillips, lad
10 wears of age, the son of a poor but
respectable family, was run down by To-
connective. The boy was playing near the
tracks in a lot where there was loose
horse. The animal became frightened at
the approach of a wild engine, which was
hacking down the track at a rapid speed.
The lad ran out of the lot to escape the
horse, and being almost on the tracks, be-
came bewildered by the engine, which he
first observed then. Instead of waiting for
IL to pass, he ran directly across the track.
The engineer did not see the little fellow
and did not slack up. A corner of the ten
der struck him on the head, hurting him %
feet away. AS soon as assistance reached
the lad he was picked up as dead, but the
physicians summoned, found faint spark
of life. and the unconscious child was car
ried to the emergency hospital and placed
in charge Of skilled nurses and physicians
The skull was fearfully fractured One
fracture extended from just back Of the
right ear around the edge of the brow al
most to the other ear. Besides this there
were five other dangerous fractures, any
one serious enough to produce instant
death The physicians marvelled that he
had not been instantly killed. Then began
a most marvellous battle between death
and the tiny spark of life remaining in the
boy. Hours emerged into days, and days
into weeks, yet the lad lived on, but utter
ly unconscious, until eighteen days had
passed The most talented physicians here
| became deeply interested ln the case. They
all agree that 1t was marvellous that he
should live so long with the character OF
his injury so serious Food in liquid form
was given the boy every few hours through
a tube introduced into the stomach Phil
| ips never gave any other signs Of lifS
| save the faint breathing, so faint some
| times it could scarcely be detected. To-day
about noon, he died suddenly and without
| anv warning. There was no struggle OF
movement, just sigh and the end was at
| hand.

1t took ten innings to decide the game
between Savannah and Augusta yesterday
and Huston's men won in the tenth inning,
scoring the winning runs after two men
were out
II was a superbly played game up to the
last inning. Both teams played gingery
ball and they were both out for blood. The
Savannah team put up great game at
the bat and in the field, and the boys all
played sharp ball.
Both pitchers were hit freely, but the
hits were scattered Herbert was In fair

lantyne caught an excellent game, but he
failed to connect with the ball and did not
get a safe hit. Jim seems to hnd the pig
league pitchers easier than he does Angus
ta's twirlers. Deveney, Meaney, Huston
and Stultz all had their batting clothes ON.
The fielding of Huston's men was hne.
Huston had five chances without an err
ror. and Beecher handled seven. Deveney
played a good second, but made one FUN

Augusta has a strong team ana Leon
ards players put up a fast game until the
tenth inning, when costly errors and time
ly hits won Savannah the game.
Savannah got a score in the first inning.
Deveney got his base on balls and sue
ceeded in getting around on sacrifice hits
and scoring on an error. Wiekert got his
| base by being hit by the pitcher, but was
left on base. O'Brien scored for Augusta
in the first, getting his base on an error,
and being assisted home by Smiths hit.
Augusta got one more in the third,
which put Leonard's team in the lead,
but Savannah got in two TALES in the
fourth and Illusions team took the front.
One more for Augusta in the fourth tied
the score and IL remained tied until the
seventh, when Augusta got in two runs.
Kelly reached frs on an error and went
to second when O'Brien reached his base
on an error. Hits by Boyle and Mains
got the runs in. Augusta held it's lead
until the ninth inning, when Huston 5
men pulled themselves together and by
two timely hits and an erro, scored two
runs, which tied the score.
Ballantyne and Beecher both went out
for Savannah in the tenth, and it looked
as if there would be no scoring, but the

Graves Bought ON the Installmcnt
plan.

There are In the village of Old Fitzpatrick
some canny Scots who, judging from APP
pearances, coslld give points to certain no
torious money lenders. At a meeting or
the Parish Council there an extraordinary
discussion arose out of a proposal by one
of the member with regard to the sale Of
"lairs' in the Kilbowie cemetery. This
gentleman moved that persons DESTROYS Of
purchasing 'lairs," who might be in
straitened circumstances, should have fl
or f1 los. "lairs" allotted to them on pay
ment at the time of first interment of one
fourth of the purchase price, the remain
der to be paid within six months by stat
ed installments But the question natur-
ally arose, suppose the installments We're
not paid? This contingency, however had
not been overlooked, and to provide against
it the proposer of the scheme suggested
Ga la the hire purchase system'D that
failure in payment should Involve forfeit
ure of the sums paid to account and any
rights acquired, and that the Parish Coun-
Gil should take possession of the forfeited
'lairs" Further, 1t would be competent
for the Parish Council to exhume the bod
les in such case, and re-inter them in
common ground! After discussion, how
ever, this proposed ingenious application of
the installment system was rejected, the
chairman protesting against the threat of
elimination as simply barbarous. 1t was
agreed ultimately to sell lalrs to necessi-
tous persons for a small cash payment

Savannah and Augusta will play again
tomorrow. Nolan will probably pitch for
Savannah. Dowie is expected to arrive
some time to-day, and he will take his
place on third, which will allow Huston
TO take his regular position in center.
Dowie has been working all winter in New
Orleans, but has been putting In his spare
time practicing and is said to be in good
shape. He is man who takes good care
of himself however, and will not take
long to round into condition.
Spencer is expected to be here In time
to go with the team to Charleston to play
the opening game. President Nick Young
of the National League has informed the
Savannah club that Spencer will have to
come to Savannah, and he has so in
formed the presidents of the Southern and
Texas Leagues AS soon as these papers
| are received the manager of the Houston
team will be notified that Spencer can no
| longer play with Houston and Spencer will
| come on to Savannah Spencer has ex-
pressed his willingness 10 come here.
The Mobile correspondent of the Sport
ing News, who saw Spencer play in that
city last week, has this 10 say of him:
THE bright particular star of the team is
/ undoubtedly Spencer, who is slated to play
with Savannah. If he does not prove this
year to be the fastest man at third base
| of any minor Lacquer in the country out
side of the class A leagues more than one
| fairly good judge of a ball player viii be
| surprised. His interiors can easily be
found in every minor league. A man who
| played against him last year says he is
only about 20 years old, consequently he
has had very little experience as yet. The
party in question recommended him to a
| Western League team, one badly in need
of his services, but the manager failed to
see the wisdom Of securing what he doubt
| less considered merely a raw recruit.
Spencer played short field for Austin In
1897. Savannah fans will see the third
corner played as they never have since the
days of Jimmy McGarr's triumphs. They
are to be congratulated"

and If he covers that difficult position well
he will be a popular idol in Savannah for
the cranks dote on shortstopmen.
The league will open Thursday, and Sa-
vannah will go to Charleston for three
games with the Sea Gulls. Savannah's
first game at home will be with Charleston
the following Monday.
The next game of Indoor base ball will

to Brander Matthews in Scribners. In
the early DAYS of this century, before the
introduction of gas, the footlights consist
ed of half a dozen or more Oil lamps, ana
the point where their rays converged was
very properly known as the focus. Here
all important passages of the piece had to
be delivered since elsewhere the accom-
panying play of feature was not assuredly
visible. 1t is told that when one of Kean's
admirers complimented him at supper az
fer a performance of "Othello," saying
that in the great scene with Iago he almost
thought the tragedan would strangle the
villain Kean answered: "Confound the
fellow! He was trying to get me out of
the focus!" Under the electric light the
face of the actor can now be seen clearly
in the most remote corner of the stage.
