DOZEN SPORTS HAVE SETTLED.
Entered Pleas of Guilty to Charge Of
Gaming.

The ''mourners bench" in the tenn
pie did not hold its accustomed throng
when the City Court convened yester-
day morning. This refers more par
ticuIarly to the score of young men,
and elder ones, indicted for gaming
and whose cases were assigned for
trial yesterday. Rather than face the
music and tell Judge Crisp all about
"ten cent ante and dollar limit" q
dozen of the penitents quietly entered
pleas of guilty and swallowed the lit
tie fifty dollar capsule without gulp.
But there are others still, and these
will either stand trial today or "open
the jack pot" to the tune sung by the
court.

Yesterday,

That fact that some $4,000 was
shelled out in Americas by the Sea-
board Railway yesterday brought 8
ray of brightness to an otherwise dull
and gloomy day. Just now quite a
large force is employed at the railroad
shops here, and the checks for all of
these toilers, with those of engineers
and conductors stopping here, made a
goodly amount in the aggregate.

STARTED BLAZE IN PINKsTON's

Match CarelesslY Dropped Started a
Fire There.
What might have been serious fire
was promptly extingulshed in it's in
cipiency at Pinkston's Store yesterday
morning, Someone dropped lighted
match upon the floor, and a pile of
blankets nearby was quickly ignited.
The blaze ran rapidly over the wooden
goods, but Mr.. Pinkston and his corps
of clerks came quickly to the rescue
and extinguished the fire without cal
ling out the department. Their
prompt and very effective work pre-
vented costly blaze. The damage to
stock was not very considerable, the
fire having gained little Roadway.
