cause an observant person to wonder
how a business that it growing and

RAIL PLAYER KILLED.
His Brain Ruptured by a Blow from a
Pitched Ball.

GRASS VALLEY.-Charles Dial, one
of the best known base bali players in
Northern California, died here this
morning of brain fever. Last Sunday
he was struck just above the right ear
by a pitched ball, which knocked him
senseless. His injury was not regard
ed as serious at the time, but Tuesday
night the attending physicians decided
that an operation was necessary. They
found the skull badly indented and
the brain at that point badly bruised
and infiamed, blood clots being present.
Dial failed to rally from the opera
ton. He was shortstop for the Pho
neers last season and was an especial
ly clever al-around player and base
runner.

MORTGAGES IN CUBA.
Date for Payment Put Off One Year by
the Administration.

the Administration.
Mortgage obligations in Cuba Will
be further extended for another year.
The extension, however, will be lin
tied to debts secured by mortgage or
ground rents. The representatives OF
the Cuban cabinet council who have
been here for some days have had sew
eral conferences with the officials on
the subject of general credit extern
sions, during which they have argued
the adoption of a plan which has re-
ceived the sanction OF the council, ex-
tending mortgage obligations for per-
iods ranging up to six years. They
also desired that debtors be relieved
entirely from the payment of interest
pending final liquidation.
This proposition received the dis
approval of the officials, who promptly
stated that they could not apply prfn-
ciple which was distinctly contrary to
common justice, and it was suggested
to the Cubans that their course would
speedily and permanently injure the
credit of the island
