BEATEN BY BULLY HE KNEW.

Assaults Him.

Because an old acquaintance and former
townsman was employed at the Newmarket
theater, at Fourth and Walnut streets,
Elijah Russell. a saloonkeeper of Rich
mond. Mo-, who was in the city last night.
visited that dive and got drunk. His old
acquaintance is locked up at police head
quarters for assault with intent to KILL
Russell went to sleep on the floor Of the
theater. Bill Word, notorious bully. who
about two years ago nearly killed the city
marshal of Richmond, essayed to awaken
Russell about 1 o'clock this morning by
beating him over the feet with a stove
poker. Russell, in drunken stupor, began
to curse him. when Word called for a beer
bottle. Receiving it. he struck Russell on
the head. the bottle breaking with the first
blow. He continued to beat him with the
broken bottle, cutting the left side of his
head in six places. fracturing the skull
back of the left ear and severely cutting his
left hand which Russell raised in an effort
to ward off the blows. Officers O'Brien.
Dougherty, Young and McHale went to the
place and sent Russell to police headquar-
ters. He tainted in the street, but revived
at the station. Small particles of glass
were found imbedded in the skull where it
had been fractured. He was sent to the
city hospital. Word hid in the cellar of the
theater. and was not caught for nearly an
hour when Officer OBrien found him on
the cellar stairs endeavOring to escape.

Pitcher Bert Cunningham has adopted a
somewhat different style of training from
that generally used to get his pitching arm
in shape. Every day he rides out on the
boulevard on his bicycle. accompanied by
a small but lively dog. Then he will throw
the ball until his arm is tired. the dog be-
ing an invaluable assistant by virtue of
retrieving the ball.
Pitcher Meekin, New York's twirler, is
indignant at what he considers the work
of .knockers." Reports have been started
that his pitching arm is dead and that he
has been undergoing massage treatment to
restore it to service. Meekin denies all
these reports vehemently. He says that
he has not had the slightest trouble with
his arm. and that when the call is made to
play ball he will be able to put them over

In the event that the new limited train

it is probable that it will pass through

in store for the admirers OF The faithful
dog will not be confined to the bark of the
nervous and impetuous little fellows who
imagine, no doubt. that bench shows were
inaugurated and are carried on to furnish
them an opportunity to display their abil-
ity to make a noise. The st. Bernards.
the mastiffs. the Great Danes and the
Newfoundlands will look wisely at the
visitors and show themselves to be steady

ances every afternoon and evening, dis
playing their intelligence and their devo-
tion to their masters.
Al of these dogs of high degree that
are coming to visit us are valuable beasts.
Scme of them cost their owners fabulous
prices, and many of them could not be
purchased at any price. Take for instance
the champion prize winner of the world.
the great English setter "Rodfield." who
has won, the first prize at every bench
has contested. and he has been in the
show and field trial business long enough
to meet the best dogs of both the Old
and the New World. He is in all proba-
bility the most perfect specimen of the

d How Can Lynching BE Suppressed.


. Not to mention the special legislation that
may be needed in some of the states to Sc
cure Il better enforcement of the laws in
existence, these six things ought to be done
for the prevention of lynch law epidepl:cs:
First-Executive officials should be chosen
with regard for their personal courage. 1t
Is not enough to know how the candidate
stands on the law; the question is whether
he can be depended upon to stand by the
law.
Second-The intelligent citizens of the
South should individually undertake to
awaken in their neighbors higher regard
for law.
Third-The papers of the two sections
should exchange texts. and the Northern
press should preach against negro crime
and the Southern press should preach
against lawlessnesS and race prejudice. The
good that has already been accomplished
by the few papers ought to encourage the
rest to follow their example.
Fourth-Southern papers should omit
from their news columns the suggestive
details of lynchings. as well as the infiam-
matory details of assaults.
Fifth-The higher education of negroes
should be pushed with 4 view to supply
ing the demand for capable teachers of
righteousness for the race.
Sixth-The South should take the worthy
young negro by the hand as earnestly as
the mob has taken the unworthy negro by
the neck. and encourage him in all high
endeavor, that the race may not be with
out salt to save it.
