Several Important Cases Attracted
 Attention,


 Columbiana, Oct. 11.-(Special.) )-Circuit Court adjourned today sine die. This week has been devoted exclusively to the trial of criminal cases. There were sev- en convictions for felonies and sentences to the penitentiary. There was great in- terest manifested in the most of the cases tried, and a great number of citizens present all the while. the court house be- ing crowded to overflowing the greater portion of the time.
 Notable among the cases that attracted large crowds were the cases of Charles and Pell Martin for the murder of John Pilgreen, and Mrs. Lou Monvell for the murder of her husband Levi Monvell.

REPUBLICANS IN aREENvILLE
Judge Stratton and MT. Armbrech'
 Spoke There.

Greenville. Oct. 11.-(Special. )-Judge Asa E. Stratton and the candidate for Attor- ney General on the Republican ticket. Hon. w. II. Armbrech. spoke here this morning to a small audience. There was no time during the speaking more than sixty persons present. and many of those were Democrats, who were attracted out of curiosity. Both of the speeches were conservative.
 There is some dissatisfaction felt by some of the defeated candidates. and some charge of fraud at some of the bal lot boxes at the recent primary are made, and the Republicans, believing the time propitious, are consulting with a view of putting ticket ir the field. It is thought an opposition ticket will be voted for in November.
 The heaviest rain fell here yesterday af- ternoon and last night that has visited this section in more than six months fortunately most of the farmers were up with their picking, and but little damage is reported to the cotton.

President Eliot of Harvard May Be
 Candidate for Mayor


 Cambridge special to Washington Post. There Is a possibility that President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard College. will be induced to run for mayor this fall on an independent or citizens ticket. There arc already prospective Republican and Democratic candidates. and the appear ance of President Eliot's name upon a committee of one hundred, which has been formed to purify the politics of the city is the first sign of the plans of the university set.
 A rumor has been current for several days that Mr. Eliot would follow the ex- ample of Seth Low, but it has been im- possible to confirm it. Mir. Eliot is on a vacation In the wilds of Maine. Some of President Eliots friends say it is doubtful If he will accept the nomination, while others believe that he would If he could thereby purify the city's politics.

STRAY BITS OF SPORT

Vlgoro is the name of a new ball
game invented in England and iudg-
ing from it's initial impression at
Lords it will become as popular as
tennis or cricket. It is an outdoor
pastime and is played after the man
ner of cricket but all the players are
armed with racquets and the ball is
much the same as tennis bail,
though somewhat heavier. The ball
is served and the field. men use their
racquets in catching and returning to
the Wickets. One of the teams which
played the Introductory games was
captained by Abel, the crack Surrey
cricketer, and the other by e. Miles,

team won and with him were the

after three exciting heats. In the
first heat Freeman won by half q
length. In the second Krebs cut
across freeman and the latter, believ-
ing himself fouled, sat up. The final
heat was exciting from the start The
riders jockeyed for position, and en-

Atherton clairms that he has not been

John j. Little, who is to get into the

challenge M. J. 4DWyer to match in

handicap settos, and if he challenges
the professor will be an after an even
up go.
When Little gets. to going again on
the mat he will probably issue an invi-
tatiOn to Wiley to meet him. John j.
has few equals as a defensive worker.
Whether he can thr rso9lWv Wiley is an in
teresting question that would attract
a lot of attention to the contest if il
was arranged.

thrown by young Canadian in some.
thing like nine minutes. Wiley then

and correct and no favoritism has been
shown to any of the players. Their
averages have not been boosted, but
the players have received only what
they deserved. Captain .. Cronin
has the fine batting average of 400 for
10 games Kelly follows with an aver
of 1868 for the same number of games.
Loughlin leads the team in fielding,
having an average of 937. Cunning

averages being 1913. The averages as
a whole are very good and show why

August in the name Of the sultan by
Izzet Bey, his majesty's secretary, to
grant Mr.. Banks, an American citizen,
frmin authorizing him to make
archaeological researches at Tel-Abra-

unable to grant the authorization in
question to Mr.. Banks, as the place
where the American desires to carry
on his researches is sacred ground and
is supposed to contain the tomb of
Abraham. The porte expresses its will
ingness to indemnify Mr.. Banks. Mr..
Eddy has forwarded this communities
ton to Washington.
