Record of the Clubs

The disorganiZed, demoralized and disa-
abled Senators returned today from the
most disastrous trip that has marked their
history of a ball team. Yesterday afternoon
at National Park they tackled the Quakers,
and, as a matter of course, took their usual
drubbing. For their victory however, the
Philles are largely indebted to Frank Kill
len, who gave them the game after having
1t we'll in hand by lead of four runs. 1t
looked gloomy for the visitors after the
third inning, when a comedy of errors and
a bit of unsteadiness on Piatt's part allow
ed the locals to harvest five runs. But that
squirt pumped the Senators all out and was
their final for the afternoon.
The comedy of errors was participated in
by Mcfarland, Lauder and Delahanty. and
Platt helped matters along, from Wash
inston standpoint. by issuing three free
passes to first base. He allowed KilIen a
base on balls and smote Reitz and Mcclure
with 1nShootS. But after this bit of Span
Ism shooting, Piatt took better aim, and
four hits we're all the home folks could
gather in the game. The Senator's outtield
Is such a piece of patchwork at present
that fly balls go through it like water
through funnel. Gettman linped to right
but could cover no ground and Selbach's
absence was obvious. For the above rea-
sons many of the visitors long flies that
would have been easy for the regulars
mad to go as two, three and four baggers
But for all this support, Killen should
nave stuck to his job as Piatt did when his
team was In the rear. But in the sixth
FRANK could not get EN- over and sent
mcfarland, Cross and Piatt to first in sue

TO nettle MIN, and he grew fretful and
careless. As a consequence he was laced
all over the lot He tried to take il out on
carney, who put him out of the game and
sent him to the dressing room. Mercer sue
ceeded killen, but lacking warming up
was net effective.
Cross and Piatt found the Adonis for
hit apiece, which resulted in Cross scoring
the ninth and last run of the game Dineen

sharp double play between Wrgley and

The game was long drawn out, and had to

brighter.

chose Senator Teller as permanent chair
man. Mr. Teller made an address of two
hours length, in which he traced the his

nounced President Mckinley and mis- sup
pcrters as enemies of silver He spoke on
some of the phases of the late war claim
ing that 1t would not have been necessary
had the President listened to the plea of
Congress when it asked for the recogni-
ton of Cuban bellIgerency. He created
great enthusiasm by a vigorous advocacy
OF the annexation of the Philippines.
After this National Chairman Charles A
Towne addressed the convention. He de-
Tended his action in deposing State Chair
man Broad, who, he claimed, had arranged
TO turn the machinery of the party in the
state over to the Mckinley republicans
The anti-Teller faction met at Coburn
Hall and elected Judge Dixon permanent
chairman. Former Congressman Bedford

VOIDS A STATE LAW
\ Decision of Importance to Wiseon-
sin Cities Rendered

A decision of considerable import
ance to every city in the state has
been handed down by Judge Seaman
in United States court, in that it de-
clares that portion OF chapter 236 OF
the laws Of 1897, requiring persons
who receive injuries chargeabe to the
neglect of cities to file notice within
fifteen days as unreasonable and con-
sequently void.
This is the first test that has been
had of the measure, which has made
attorneys who make a speciality of
personal injury suits stand aghast.
The purpose Of the law, it was stated,
was to enable municipalities to look
into and ascertain the causes of ac-
cidents, in order to enable them to
more readily determine the merits of
the different claims. Where the in
jury caused is a severe one, however. it
does not give the injured party suf-
ilcient time ia which to make known
the intention to demand damages.
The decision comes down in the suit
Of Mrs. Adelaide Webster against the

city of Beaver Dam. Mrs. Webster
was Injured on May 10, 1897. Her
notice TO the city was not fled for
more than two months afterward. Mrs
Webster alleges in her complaint that
one OF her toes was broken and her
knee sprained in addition to other in
juries, and she demands $4,000 dam
ages During the fifteen days fol-
lowing the accident Mrs. Webster,
whose home is in Michigan. asserts
that she was unable to realize or as
sert her rights She did not know OF
the provisions OF chapter 2S6 OF the
laws of 1897 until she consulted her
attorney. and as soon as she became
aware OF the provision, filed notice
OF suit and claim for damages, o0
July 6, 1897.
The city of Beaver Dam made the
failure to file notice within the statu-
tory limit of fifteen days, the main
contention. IL presents, the court
says, "a question which has never
been passed upon by the supreme
court of Wisconsin. Numerous de-
cisiCus are cited, having reference to
the previous general statute, which
preScribes a notice to be given within
ninety days of the injury, and in some
Instances to charter provisions having
less than that time limit, but | have
found 80 Wisconsin case In which the
direct inquiry arose of the applica-
ton of the reasonableness or I'M
reasonableness of the limitation where
the injured party was disabled or
otherwise so that notice could not be
given within the time limited, as
alleged in this complaint
After discussing portions of the
complaint the court continues: The
application of the literal terms of the
statute must bar any recovery Cor the
injury suffered and solely because the
severity of nature OF the injury de-
layed the giving OF notice beyond the
fifteen days, although a right of ac-
ton is distinctly recognized and pre-
served by the same statute in favor
of one who, by reason Of The modera-
tioa OF his injury, is not SO disabled
and is not prevented by other inter
yening cause from serving the notice
So construed, there is manifest in
justice in the strict application of
the provision to the case at bar and
If 1t is open to the test Of reasonable
ness in that view there Is no room
for doubt that ii must be held to be
imperative
