FOR RUNNING THEIR HOUSES.
PREACHERS SAY OTHERS ARE
STILL AT WORK.

Ministerial Agitation Against the
Gamblers Responsible for Their
Appearance in COurt--Ministers
Say They Are Not Satished-Fines
but a Sop to Public OpiniOn-Oth-
eFs Allowed to Proceed with
Their Nefarious Business.
Augusta, Oct. 3.-All the gamblers
recently reported for running houses
pleaded guilty in the City Court and
were fined an aggregate of $4,000.
Thomas Alsworth. w. j. Croak, w.
M. K. Martin. Martin w. Kelly and
]. H. Goldstein. formerly of Savannah,
were fined $500 each; Richard Cham
bers,- Euphrates Rooney, Matt Sheron,
$500 each: and Jacob Dorsey, colored,
500. All the fines were paid.
The cases were the result of min
isterial agitation against gambling that
has stirred up things to a lively pitch.
The preachers have not abandoned the
crusade. Sunday night Rev. o. P.
Gilbert, i'm his sermon, stated that
these cases were simply sop to public

going on as freely as ever. He stated
that Goldstein and Nat Evans were
running a place in conjunction with
a barroom. and that the authorities
knew of it.
He charged that the police were to
blame, and that the prime RESPONSE
bility rested with the chairman of the
Police Commission.
Between the gambling and the anti
liquor agitation the ministerial alli-
ance, as the organization of the Bap-
fist and Methodist preachers is called,
keeps the city worked up. The police
department is mad clear through. and
the city officials generally are agitated
The ministers declare they will push
matters to a conclusion satisfactory to
them. There is a belief that the end

TIE Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous
GEORGIA AND TECH GAME
YET AN UNSETTLED MATTER
Capt. KiIIorin Heartily Favors Playing Game
on Thanksgiving.

Athens, Ga. Oct. 3.-The question
of whether there will be a game of
football between the University and
Tech this year is the all absorbing topic
right at present in college circles in
Athens.
According to Prof. Patterson, ath-
letic director Of the university, there
will be no game between the two in
situations this year, but other strong
influences are at work to have the two
teams meet.
Prof. Patterson said that the mat
ter might be settled right at once, and
for ali this year, and that the game
positively would not be played. He
said that the chancellor would not con-
sent to have the game played this
year, on account of the feelings exist
ing between the two institutions from
an athletic point of view, and that he
and Assistant Coach Dickinson felt
the same about the matter.
Prof. Patterson stated that every
thing possible had been done to put an
end to the bad feeling with the ath-
letic branch of the Atlanta college, but
that they had refused all offers of set
Element and would listen to no kind of
a proposition but that the Thanksgiv-
ing game must be played between the
university and themselves on the aft
ernoon of Thanksgiving day. Several
splendid propositions were made to
them, which would mean a good return
of money. which the Tech needs this
year to pay the high salary of Coach
Heisman, bat they still adhere to the
original idea that it must be the
Thanksgiving game or nothing.
1t is understood that the chancellor
will not allow the game this year.
Let Schedule Alone.
Assistant Coach Dickinson is also
in favor of letting the present sched-
ule alone this year. He was present
at all the conferences between the rep
resentatives of the two institutions.
and stated that the Tech men would
listen to no fair proposition.
But there are other influences at
work to have the game played.
Capt. Killorin is heartily in favor of
the game. He believes that the bad
feeling has come about through a mis-
understanding in business arrange
ments between the athletic instruc-
tors of the two colleges and mot
through any game or action of the
athleteS or elther college and game
will smooth out the differences be-
tween the athletic instructors. That
the differences now existing originated
between the two professors in charge
of athletics at the two colleges Capt
Killorin is certain and says the thing
has been from the beginning an ar
gument of dollars and not one of
sportsmanlike conduct, and ought to
be stopped Immediately.
He believes that the majority of the
people Of Georgia who are interested

That something must be done to aid
the batsman and render the pitcher
less effective, is the contention of base
ball officials all over the National
League circuit at this season of the
year, when discussion of new rules for
next season is general.
That things have been too nicely ar
ranged for the twirler, and the bats
men have been hampered7 by the new
est rules in force this year, has been
indisputably demonstrated, and among
most of the big men of baseball the
opinion obtains that the changes are
wrong and detract from the sport
The foul-strike rule has been blamed
and defended, and seems to be destin-
ed to remain in force, if the National
League advocates have their way
Every little detail that boosts up the
pitchers showing has been discussed
and though condemned by some, there
seems to be enough in favor of the OBJ
jectionable things to support them.
The latest thing to be given thought
is the manufacture of the ball itself,
and discussion has brought out the

DROUGHT CAUSING DAMAGE
IN BULLOCK COUNTY.

Statesboro, Ca, Oct. 3.-WhiIe con-
ditions are fine for picking cotton and
there is a great portion of the large
crop still in the fields, there has never
been more suffering in this county
from the dry season, and especially is
this true in Statesboro, where the
streets are being torn up by a large
force of hands, putting in the new
waterworks and the electric light
plant, besides the heavy traffic in
cotton, keeping up continually cloud
Of dust.
Reports are coming in from all over
the county of the difficulties experienced
by mills and gins in getting sufficient
water to run their engines. The man
agement of the Bulloch Oil Mill is run
ming their gins at full force and are
thinking of getting water from the
city waterworks by means Of a pipe.
Live stock of all kinds is suffering
and In several cases hogs are dying,
though attributed to cholera by some
of our farmers.

MORE RUBBER IN BASEBALLS TO
OVERCOME BATSMEN'S TROUBLES
Batters Are Protesting Against Rules That Cut
Down Averages.

question: Is the ball in use to-day not
so greatly inferior to that of several
years ago that it is trucking the bats
man and shrinking his batting aver
age to the delight of various pitchers?
That is the truth" says Bob Ems
lie, the dean of President Pulliam's
Empirical staff, who has observed
the conditions closely. THE ball now
used needs a little more rubber in it, )"
declared Emslie, land until its defect
is remedied. the batsmen will have a
kick coming. The best hitters are
still swatting the sphere as of yore,
but it refuses to travel as far.
"A good whack in the right place is
bound to be as effective as it ever
was, if the ball is the same.
Though the pitcher has been helped
a great deal by the existing rules, he
has been aided still more by the differ
ence in the make of balls, to my mind
and that's thing that should be rem
edied, if it is desired to increase the
batting.
And the people seem to want Just
bit more of that feature of base
ball. They all hail the coming of a
heavy hitter with delight, and the club
owners are falling over themselves to
sign the best stickers. A little more
hammering of the leather would be re-
freshing to the FANS

Secretary Hays Address of Welcome
at the Conference.
Boston, Oct. 3.-Secretary OF State
John Hay, representing the United
States of America, spoke the words
of welcome this afternoon to the dele
gates of the International Peace Con-
gress, who assembled here for the first
formal meeting of the thirteenth an
nual convention.
Secretary Hay promised the admin
istration's support, so far as practi-
able, TO the principle of the arbitra-
ton of such questions as may not be
settled through diplomatic negotia-
tions, and expressed confidence that
at no distant day the attention of the
nations might be brought to a pro-
ject looking toward the return of peace
in the Far East.
Mayor Collins said that no word Of
his was necessary to welcome peace
delegates to Boston, for Boston was
the home of peace. He said If he were
to paraphrase a Bible text to suit the
occasion 1t would be this:
Blessed are the peacemakers. for
they shall see God; damned be the
warmakers, for they shall see the

Seven Negroes Awaiting a Hearing
for Murder.
Swainsboro. Ca. Oct. 3.-The COM
mitment trial of the seven negroes
charged with the murder of Bascomb
Mulling, near Williamson swamp, has
been postponed until tomorrow. The
case is still shrouded in mystery and
there are practically no new develop
ments. There is only one feature in
the case. besides general reputation,
which looks particularly dark for the
negroes. This is the fact that Mr..
Mulling has been traced to the house
of Lizzie Cross, one of the parties now
in Jail, and no one has ever been able
to get any trace of him since.
The woman admits that he was at
her house and ordered supper. He had
shot bag full Of money The woman
says he drove away in his road cart,
but there is no proof that he has ever
been seen since. There is considerable
excitement over the affair, and lynch
ing is talked of If there is sufficient
evidence to erase all doubt that Null
ling has been murdered. The negroes
charged with the crime are all rea-
sonably we'll to do, but their reputa-
ton is bad.

New York. Oct. 3.-The players of
the New York National League team
have fresh grievance against Presi-

to their wishes an open revolt is
threatened. The climax of such re-

have only one result and that is a

winners of the American League pen

Highlanders or any other team.

in college athletics would naturally
prefer to see Georgia and Tech meet
ing annually on the gridlron. He is
not in favor of Georgia going back
upon any existing contract with Au-
burn, but favors the game being play
ed with Tech on Thanksgiving as soon
as it can be arranged, and a game
being played at sometime during the
season with Tech until the expiration
of the Auburn contract will make the
Thanksgiving game possible-providing
Tech maintains the proper standard of
merit in athletics.
Anxious for the Game.
The student body is anxious for the
game, according to statements made
and if any kind of a reconciliation
can be made would great deal rather
be on friendly terms with the Tech
than otherwise. q
Manager Hull too is in favor of pull
ing off the game, either in Athens or
in Atlanta.
1t is now certain that no games can
be arranged with either Vanderbilt or
Sewanee, as that matter has been fl
nally settled, and if the Tech game is
not pulled off at Athens, the David
son match will be the only one to be
seen this fall by Athenians.
Just what will come of the matter
will be awaited with interest by all
lovers of the sport, and friends Of the
two institutions who would like to see
the breach healed.

In July, 1883, began to break out with
Eczema on my head, legs and arms, and

did not get much relief. They said the dis.
ease had become chronic. l then quit them

finally decided to- let medicine alone, and
for twelve or thirteen years did nothing

ters in their own hands and surrender
to the popular demand for post-sea-
son series. The players are completely
downcast at the accusation that they
are "quitters" and these charges are
having a noticeable effect on their
playing, which is extremely bad and
which has been mistaken for indif-
ference because the pennant is cinch-
ed. One of the most prominent players
on the team said to-day:
mo persons are more disappointed
than we are over Brushs statement.
We want to play the American League
champions, because we are confident
that we can beat them. And another
thing, it means a couple of thousand
of dollars to each of us. We are out
for the money, and we are at present
reconsidering the proposition to tour
the country after the present season
ends. Brush must act differently to-
ward the public and ourselves, or we
will play a post-season series and
Brush cannot stop us. And he knows
