About the Recent Horse Meet Held
at Jacksonville.
The recent horse meet held at Jack
sonville has afforded a great deal of
kicking and discussion, both by visit
ing and local horsemen, bookmakers
and spectators, and the meet has prob
ably been discussed more than any
other ever held in the South. A Flor
ida horseman expresses his opinion as
follows: Between the Gala Week AS
sociation and the Racing Committee we
home horsemen got the rankest kind Of
a throwdown. The Gala Week people
got us a-comin' and the Racing Com
mittee skinned us a-goin'-we were
whip-sawed. We could overlook the
Gala Week 'frisking'-that seemed to
be part of the play-but we hoped
for at least an even break from the
racing promoters. Did we have our
horses in shape Why, some of us fell

alton of Baseball Clubs to-day made a
practically complete surrender to the
new organization put on foot by
Charles Frank. This ends the turmoil
which has kept the baseball world of
the South engrossed for nearly year.
The terms, as far as known, are:
Chattanooga and Shreveport win be
dropped from the circuit; Savannah
and Montgomery will be added;
Charles Frank retains the Memphis
franchise; Memphis club and Frank
restored to good standing; Memphis to
be paid for all losses sustained during
last season on account of unplayed
games, legal costs, etc., and for money
spent in booming the new organiza-
ton. The amount to be paid to the
Memphis club is said to be about S.
900.
New league franchises in Atlanta,
Birmingham and New Orleans are to
be withdrawn, the holders of the fran
chses to be reimbursed by the local
clubs for expenses.
The conference was secret and moth
ing more than the statement that the
fight was over would be given out of
ficially.

thoroughly aroused. a young woman
created quite stir between z and s
o'clock yesterday morning on the
northern end of West Broad street.

article in the shape of cowhiding. The
lash was applied in earnest while the
step-mother stood by and saw that
the job was well done.
Blow after blow was struck, and the
man who was said to have rendered
the insult suffered considerable pain.
He stood the punishment as long as he
could and then snatched the whip
from the woman and destroyed 1t. By
this time, however, he had been Sc

WOULD SAVE CLOTHING.

Health officer Recommends Pur-
chase of Sterilizing Machine.
A plan to prevent the destruction of
clothing by fumigatiH in cases of con-
tagious or infectious diseases has been
suggested by the Board of Sanitary
Commissioners and may be acted upon
favorably by Council. Considerable
property is now destroyed by fumiga-
ton, and often the city pays for the
loss sustained.
The health officer recommends the
purchase of a steam chamber for the
sterilization of textile fabrics, when
disinfection is necessary. The appara-
tus is a necessary appliance, both for
scientific sanitary work and for pres
ervation of material for citizens who
are unable to lose their property. The
recommendation of the Sanitary Com
missioners was read at last night
meeting of Council. and las referred
to the Committee of the Whole.

ty Sheriff.

Though He Did Travel with a Depu-
ty Sheriff.
Because he associated with a deputy
sheriff, j. F. Fraley, of Key West, Fla,
says he is being taken for law break
er and is believed to be at liberty on
bail.
Fraley says he came down from Bal
timore on the steamship Itasca a few
days ago with Deputy Sheriff OConnor
They got to be good friends on the trip
and when the vessel had landed at her
dock in this port he disembarked With
the officer. Quite crowd of pepole
We're on the dock and Fraley and
O'Connor walked up to the street car
with several men following behind.
1--WE will take this car" said Deputy
O'Connor. Two men boarded the car
and after they had been seated one of
them remarked: well, Ed, see you
have got yer man."
Both O'Connor and Fraley humored
the joke and later in the day they
went about the street together and
CHANGED to meet the two men again.
Then il was that they began to whis-
per to others that there was O'Connor
and prisoner, and the story went I'M
til Fraley says it has ceased to be a
joke. and he is pointed out on every
hand as criminal out on bail.
He is tired of the misrepresentation
and wants it understood that he is not
criminal; never has been, and never
expects to be.
Mr.. Fraley is prominent secret society
man, belonging to the Key West lodge
of Ellxs and other organizations. He
also has the distinction of having
served the government in the war with
Spain at Dry Tortugas and was the
first postmaster ever commissioned
there. He is en- route south from Nor
folk, and win be in the city several
days.
