Brooklyn was again the great feature
of the day The buying of the stock was
at all times heavy and at some periods
wild. The opening was at ia TO ia IL,
a point above the close yesterday and from
that figure the advance was steady TO 115
and better. When the bank statement ap
peared the rush came and the price was
sent up in two minutes to 11S 3-S or .
points gain from yesterdays close. This
advance, it must be remembered, was on
top of a steady advance of 20 points in a
few days. The stock has no recessons
except for fractions and the people who
closed out their stock at the opening with
the expectation of buying it back at a
lower figure were disappointed and in most
cases bought later in the day at considera-
bly, advanced prices instead. The close
was at the top and immense buying orders
were still untitled which suggests very
strongly that the opening on Monday will
be somewhat volcanic. Many predict that
it will be above l20.

ANDERSON ARRESTED
And Will Have to Answer to Charge
 Of Assault and Battery

James Anderson, the negro who was severely cut in fight in this city a few days ago by William Jack son, V hile he was beating Jackson s wife, has recovered and was imme- distely arrested or the charge of as- sault and battery. He gave bond to appear in Justice Niyen's court in this city this morning, and did so. The case was continued, however, until next Monday morning, owing to the absence of witnesses.
 As was related in our columns re- gently, Anderson attempted to pre- vent Jackson's wife from securing water from a well to which she had right and when she refused Ander- derson began to beat her, when her husband used a knife with good re- suits. Jackson was later acquitted and declared iustifiabie in his ac- tions.
 The case is an interesting one and Is being watched with much antici- patton by the friends Of the parties interested.

 Eighteen American and seventy six Spanish and Mexican rulers have successtyely= occupied The palace. IL has survived all those strange modu- lations by which B Spanish province has become 8 territory of the Union, bordering on statehood.

DARKNESS STOPS AN EXCiT- ING GAME OF BASE
 BALL.
WAS FULL OF GINGER.
Hodge, tEutt, Campbell and Murphy Were Hit With
 Ease.

4 large crowd of baseball enthn siasts witnessed a most exciting and interesting game of ball be- tween the Clerks and Bookkeepers at Jones Park in this city Wednes day afternoon The best talent tbat Pine Bluff afforded was equal ly divided and the teams were anx- ious aud fought hard for victory,
 Hodge began pitching for the Bookies but did not let himself out. He seemed free and easy for the Clerks who hit him hard and often, but their base hits were few. Hodge received excellent support and for SIX steady innings the clerks tailed to score. Keck, the new catcher held down his respective position with general satisfaction. Campbell, the young but smooth twirler was in the box for the Clerks. He held his opponents down to a very few hits. In the third inning the Penholders succeeded in getting three runs. In the fourth shey went out ia the one, two, three order. Ia the fifth they gained two runs In the sixth they registered a goose-egg, hence at the end of the sixth the score stood: Bookkeepers 5, Clerks O
 Murphy went into the box for the BookkeeDersl He IS Q good pitcher, but temporarily went to pieces, as did his support. and the Clerks slaughtered them They smashed the ball-in every direction, not base hits, but his bad support for the lime being caused five rups to fall to the Clerks credit and Murphy saw there was % use of his trying to stop them when the support continued to go to pieces. At the end of the seventh inning the score was 5 5
 Finn Butf succeeded Campbell aud pitched good steady ball. The bcokkeepers took to in the eighth as leader The Clerks went to the bat at the last half of the eighth and again Murphy's support we1t wild and he followed suit. The re- suit was four valuable runs for for Clerks. Score at the end of tEe eighth inning was 9 to 7 in the favor of the Clerks
 Darkness was approaching and the Bookkeepers in order to gain their lest laurels, went to the bat and what they done to the pigskin was a plenty. They batted the ball savagely, and by punching their

Overlooking Santa Fe from the northwest. is the old Chapel Rosario. The chapel is a low. small adob5 structure and would be entirely un- noticed but for the historical event that itcommemorates. On this spot on the side of bill, Diego de Vargas. marching up from the south. stood with a little band of 200 men in 1692. He looked over into the city N here his countrymen had been slaughter ed twelve years before. Then he knelt and vowed to build upon that spot chapel to Our Lady of the Rosary if she would fight on his side that day and give him the victory. After a fight of eleven hours dura' ton the battle was won by the ex- plOrer and his men. and, true to his promise, the chapel was erected. Services are held in the chapel only once a year, at which time statue of the Virgin Mary is carried by priests from the cathedral to the chapel, followed by a procession of 1eVOtees.
 On this hillside is also located a National cemetery in which are buried the Federal dead of the battle of Gloriettn, fought between Texas COnfederates and Federal troops from Colorado and New Mexico dur- ing the civil ar. Here are 773 graves, Al unknown. Here also rest the remains of Gov. Charles Bent, the first American governor of the territory.

A Witness Who Didn't Testify

Akron, o., May 9.--It is claimed here
that the prosecution in bhe George
murder trial at Canton missed the
most important witness which could
have been secured. pmiss Kate Clark
has unconsciously let SIP statement
which, II repeated upon the witness
stand, would no doubt have had great
weight with the jury.
Miss Clark is book agent, whose
home is in Akron, and boarded with
the family Of James Sterling, Mrs.
Georges attorney, in Canton, at he
time of the murder OF George Saxton.
On the evening of the murder Mrs.
George came to the door and excitedly
asked for Sterling. When he appeared
she exclaimed: II have done 1t at last;
shot Saxton." Sterling calmed her,
gave her water with which to wash and
to drink and sent her away again, af-
ter having glveR her advice in private.
Knowing that Miss Clark had heard
what Mrs. George had said the willy at
torney frightened the woman with the
statement that il she told what Mrs.
George had said she would be locked
up in Jail as nonresident witness.
Accordingly Miss Clark closed up her
business and left Canton the next day.
When seen today Miss Clark refused
to make any statement whatever, eth
er in affirmation or denial of the story,
and Attorneys Welting and Sterling in
Canton also refused to talk.

Work on the Precise Levels of the
Ohio River Will Be Commenced
at Once.


The last river and harbor act ap-
propriated sum of money to be used
in making a detailed survey of the
Ohio river from Marietta to the mouth
of the Big Miami river, with a view
to improving the river with a series of
locks and dams. "A detailed survey of
the river from Pittsburg to Marietta
has already been made. Major w. II.
Bixby, United States Engineer in
charge of the improvement of the Ohio
river, is now getting ready to send out
surveying party on the new work.
The first thing that will be done will
be to run 1.-The precise levels" This
work will he rushed through as quick
ly as possible in order to locate prop
erly the proposed lock and dam below
Cincinnati In all probability the levels
can be ascertained before the end of
the season; but the detail work of the
survey will be much slower, and will
probably take two seasons to complete.
Major Bixby thinks he can start out
the first surveying party before the end
of this month.--Cincinant CONNER

New Jail For WaYne County,

The plans for the new Wayne county
Jail and sheriff's residence have again
been submitted to the state board OF
charities and, with some very slight al
terations, have been accepted.
The Jail will be a model one. Separ-
ate provision is made for boys and
women and for such of the prisoners
as may be sick. The arrangements
made for light, air and exercise are
perfect.
The whole number of cells Is 22, each
7x7 feet. Each cell is provided with
a sliding door and the system of lock-
ing is excellent Ghe prisoners will not
sleep on Dunks, but in hammocks,
which will be removed during the day
time In this way the cells will be
kept clean and free from vermin. Two
prisoners may be accommodated in one
cell, II necessity requires. The system
was devised 80 years ago by the board
OF state charities.
The architect of the Jail, which will
be situated at Wooster, is j. r. Webs
ter, and the entire cost is estimated at
about $4,000.

The Reward Paid to Cline.

The standing reward OF 500, offer
ed by the County Commissioners for
the arrest and conviction OF the parties
who were holding up people in the east
end OF the county about two years ago,
and which crimes have since been fast
ened onto Scotty Meyers, who was cap
tured by Sheriff McAllister in Pennsyl-
yania, was as is known to most people,
refused by the Sheriff; but for assist
ance rendered by Andrew Cline it was
seen fit to turn the amount of the re-
ward over to him.
1t will be remembered that Cline
played the role OF aceomplice on the
occasion of the attempt to break into
August Heighle's store at Archer's
Forks.
The reward raised and offered by the
citizens of the neighborhood in which
the crimes were committed was declln-
ed with thanks by Sherlff McAlllster,
and the subscriptions were returned
to the subscribers shortly after Meyers
arrest.

State House Addition,

The new part of the state house,
when completed, will by comparison,
represent the different perioda in
which they were constructed The
old part is the stone age, for it is not
ed for its sohdity, the walls being
more than three feet thick in some
places. The new part is the steel age,
the steel being surrounded by brick
and stone. 1t may be that the latter
Will be the stronger, but there will be
NO one OF the present age living to note
the difference between the structures.
After fifty years the old part to all ap-
pearances is as strong now as on the
day it was completed and to outward
appearance the two buildings are to
be alike. Inwardly there will be a
striking difference in the way of ele-
yatOr accommodations, there being
none in the old building.

The 4sers.

just so years ago the Sth of this
month number of young men OF Ma
rietta made all their plansand arrange
ments and after bidding goodby to
friends and relatives, started on long
and perllous journey to the land OF
gold. 1t was to be an overland Journey
and was fraught with almost unparal-
elled hardships douglas Perkins, Sam
Cross, Zeb Cheseboro and Quincy Cum
ningham we're four OF the members
who banded together to help and en-
courage each other on the way. They
Joined with party Of gold hunters at
st. Louis, and after Journey full of
trlals and many vlcissitudes, through
then almost unknown country, and
four months of lncessant and wearying
travel, they reacAed Sacramento, their
Eldorado, and pitched their tents and
began their search for gold. But dis
appointment and daily unaccustomed
labor proved too much for them. Sam
Cross and Zeb Cheseboro died that
wlnter-Cross, 1t was said, Of nothing
but homesickness and Cheseboro Of
dysentery. Douglas Perkins died
about year after reaching California,
utterly discouraged and disheartened,
Not one of these ever had glimmer of
success In finding gold.
John Quincy Cunningham was more
fortunate, though he did not prosper in
the digglngs, but with a lighter heart
secured situation on Sacramento
river boat, kept his place and by dill
gence soon became mate Of larger
boat and died not many years ago
popular and prosperous man.
MIR. Harlow Chaplin went Uhe over
land route this same year with party
of 20 men, mostly from Marietta and
vicinity. A Mr.. Dabold, one of the
number with Mr.. Chaplin, after reach
ing California, left the company, went
north towards Oregon and was never
heard of afterwards. Mr.. Chaplin was
shrewd business man and made mon
ey in this as he did in every venture.
DR. Geo. o. Hildreth was in New
York City during part of the summer
of '49, and urged with the love OF ad-
venture and the pleasure of a sea voy-
age, he and Dwight Hollister, who ac-
companied him, took a vessel and went
around Cape Horn to the Golden Gate.
There were 25O passengers on the ship,
all bound for California. The vessel
stopped ten days at Rio Janeiro and
ten days at Valparaiso. They were six
months on the voyage and when they
arrived at Sacramento they found the
party of Marietta boys in camp. Alon-
20 Green was there and also the two
Whitneys, sons of James Whitney, of
Harmar
DR.. Hildreth returned the next year,
but Dwight Hollister bought a large
tract of land below Stockton and be-
gan farming, prospered, came back
and married sister of Mrs. DR.. B. F.
