IBERIA JUNIORS vs.. ABBENlLLE
JUNIORS.

We reproduce the following from
the Republican Idea relative to the
base ball game between the Iberia
Juniors aud the Abbeville Juniors
last Sunday III their city;
The boys from the Queen City Of
the Tcche-the Iberia Juniors
captured the game from the local
Juniors last Sunday afternoon III
the ninth inning, the score at the
conclusion of the game being i to
10 in the Iberia Juniors favor.
While errors were plentiful on
,both sides, those Of the locals We're
more costly. and undoubtedly were
the real cause Of their defeat
Fully five hundred persons wit
messed the game, which was played
on the grounds across the bayou,
aud they ''got their moneys worth
by witnessing a fast, snappy game.
The game opened with the locals
at the bat. .Iennaro was i'll the
box for the visitors, aud In less
time than it takes to tell half
dozen scattered hits were secured
off his delivery. which netted two
runs for the locals in their half of
the first inning, This was good
opening.
The visitors failed to gel further
than second in their half of the
first inning, though they secured
two or three scattered hits off
Broussard s delivery. In fact after
the first inning the Queen City boys
batted Broussard quite freely, but
these hits We're with but few en-
ceptious either singles or flies that
were easily gathered by the intield-
erS
Broussard pitched an excellent
game. and Patout did likewise
Honors We're about equally divided
between the two, and to state that
either one Of them was best Ill the
box would be an injustice to the
other. Broussard did mot have as
good support, however, as Patout,
Everything considered, these two
named box artists did splendid
work, aud each did their very best
for their respective teams, as all
those who were on the grounds can
testify.
Guidry did not pitch in his usual
effective way, nor did Jennaro.
The former did the twirling act for
two innings. while the latter walked
out of the box after throwing seve
raj balls across the home plate in
the second inning, being replaced
by Patout.
Duhe. the crack right fielder of
the visitors, played only in the
first inning, when he was replaced
by Perry. He was not feeling we'll,
The Abbeville Juniors were four
runs in the lead at one time and
should have captured the game.
However carelessness and errors on
the part of several players was re-
sponsible fer their defeat.
Mr.. Frank Godchaux made an
ideal umpire and none of his de-
cisions were disputed, Frank is
o, X. as an umpire and ball player,
and has but few equals rs such in
this section
Captain Jennaro, of the visitors
played star game. He was at the
bat five times, making single
each time, stole more bases than
any one OF the other seventeen
players, was not put out during the
entire game, no errors was charge
against him, besides making three
of the eleven runs, and scoring the
winning run.
Cordova, the backstop for the
visitors done considerable well, he
held down Patout's terrible curves
during the entire game, also send
the ball out with the willow.

PENITENTIARY MATTER
The Last Two Sittings of Commit
tee Have Developed Nothing
of Fresh Interest.

jackson, Miss, Feb. 6.-The last
two sittings Of the penitentiary inyes-
tigating committee have developed
nothing of fresh interest or import
ance concerning the muddlo in which
the prison board OF control and its off,
cesr have found themselves unexpect-
edly involved Submitted to a careful
analysis, the testimony of Mr Solo-
mon, the expert accountant, and Capt.
Jenkins, the former warden, did not
show anything detrimental to the
present prison management, except
that the former reiterated his state
ments regarding technical errors and
carelessness IN bookkeeping. Capt.
jenkins was the warden from 1887 to
1897 and he showed a clean record for
the period Of over nine years. There
was no disposition on The part of any
members of the committee to cross
question him closely regarding the de-
tails of the the management during
that period, Chairman Moore states
that the investigation will probably he
concluded this week, although it
will be several days before the COM
mittee is ready to issue q summarized
report of its additional findings

RIGHTS OF A JURY.
Question Involved in a Murder
Case ApDeaI.

jackson, Miss, Feb. 5--The Su-
preme Court of Mississippi has been
allied upon to decide the unusual
point Of law as to whether a petit jury
has the right to investigate the law
on it's own account after Instructions
hfd been given by the presiding
judge. The point is brought up in the
case of Tom Lotion, q Yazoo county
negro now under death sentence for
murder. After the testimony had
been finished and the instructions
given, the jury retired to its quarters.
Not being sure as to the statutes on
the subject of murder, they obtained
a law book and looked up the infor-
nation. The defense claims that this
is reversible error, as the jury should
have returned to the Court for instruc-
tions. On the other hand the prosecu-
tion sets forth that the defense has no
right TO know what is going ON in the
jury room after case has been sub
mitted

STATE LEGISLATURE.
Coles insurance Bills will Prob
ably Reach Consideration in
Senate This Week.

jackson, Miss, Feb. 5.-The bank
ing and insurance bills prepared by
Auditor CoAe, and which are among
the most important measures pending
before the legislature, will probably
reach consideration in the senate this
week, and the principal measures are
practically sure of passage with but
slight amendment. The fight launched
by the banking institutions on the pro-
posed reform and system of inspection
has not assumed dangerous strength,
and it seems that much OF this oppo-
sition was inspired through Ignorance
of the vital principles of the Cole
bill. The fire insurance concerns an
nounce that they are willing TO ac-
oept the pan proposed by the Auditor
as satisfactory solution of the guam
Diary in Mississippi, as the bill is a
compilation of the best insurance laws
of the country.
Only one lie insurance company is
fighting the proposed reform OF that
business

P PENITENTIARY MATTER
None of the Witnesses Have Tes-
titled In q Manner DetriInent-

Jackson, Miss, Feb. SIN spite
of the heroic efforts of the committee
to convict him of corruption and mis-
management in office, Warden Parch-
man is still seourelv cr ton in the pen
itentiary Investigation anu the pro-
ceedings have now reached point
where they closely border on the farrell
cal. None of the witnesses thus far
examined this week have testified to
any matters detrimental to the warden
Or his method of management, and
evidence that when first submitted
tends TO show the prison management
in a rather compromising light is
afterwards revealed in cross -examina-
tion in the light of legitimate and
business-like transactions. Up to the
present time the committee has not
drawn blood from its opposition.
The personal character Of ex-Ser-
goant Battle, Of the Edwards place,
was under discussion yesterday and
the prosecution offered several wit
nesses to show that Battle has hither-
to been man Of good repute Last
week Warden Parchman showed by
unimpeachable testimony that the ex-
Sergeant had been guilty of obtaining
money under false pretenses and was
discharged for the reason that his SER
vices were worthless.

Public Execution DeciEed Upcn. !

Oxford, Miss, Feb. o.--At tkis ses-
sion of the board of supervisors Of this
county a public execution Of Will
Mathis, Whit Owens and Orlando Les
ter was ordered fot Friday, February
IA. There has been great deal of
talk lately to the effect that the ia
nous cases would be app pealed, but Will
Mathis today stated that he realized
that the only good to be' accomplished
by an appeal would be to delay his
execution and that it wo'Id cost his
wife all she possessed to make the ap-
peal For these reasons he mad decid-
ed not to have the case go to the Su-
preme Court
A committee from the faculty Of the
university argued before the board for
private hanging, but the supervisors
were Of the opinion that better les
son would be taught by a public exc
oution. The place selected for the ex-
ecution is about mile southeast of
town and crowd of any size can get
in sight of the gallows. V Whit Owens
case has been appealed and this will
necessarily delay his hanging until
April. Much interest is manifested in
the coming execution and crowds will
attend from surrounding counties.
Inquiries to see the hanging are com
ing in from all sections, and probably
ten thousand people will witness the
execution.

jackson, Miss, Feb. 6. Jim Frye,
murderer Of Officer Redmond, was
sentenced today to hang on March :.
The trial of Frye was speedy, and
at the same time he was given all the
chance allowed by law to defend his
life. Two of the best criminal attor-
neys in the city, Messrs. c. NJ. Will
Hanson and r. B. Ricketts,, conduc-
ted the defense, and they made the
best of a poor case. Frye could have
been easily convicted, however, on
his own testimony, in which he ad-
mitted with cold-blooded frankness
that he fred the fatal shot, and the
only excuse he offered was that he
thought Mr.. Redmond was trying to
draw his own pistol. He claimed to
be only i6 years Of age and acknowl
edged that he was drunk when he
made the attack on the officer.
