ne was not yet able to support them both.
 He drew revolver and fired.
 Three shots entered the cheek of the young girl, and 8 fourth pierced the temple of James Gaffney, and caused him to sink unconscious against the girls shoulder.
 With wondrous nerve and heroic resolve, she reached for lines and whip, and, commanding the horse to his utmost speed, drove frantically on and on over the country road.
 She knew not where she was going, except in a general way she knew where the city lay.
 Her religious faith, firm and un- swerving, told her to save her sweet hearts soul. Her former playmate must not die until the church's holy offices had given peace and forgive ness to his departing soul.
 The girl was utterly unmindful of her own critical condition. She scarcely realized that the blood was pouring from her wounds and soaking her dress.
 She was conscious only of one wild desire. and of a great dread.
 When she reached the city limits she passed pedestrians. who turned to gaze in dismay at the panting horse, tearing by, and the voice of girl form within the buggy sobbing and crying out inarticulately.
 It was nearly three o'clock in the morning then. and but few people were on the streets, but those few stopped short, and then hastened after the buggy in an attempt to stop what they supposed was runaway. But the gil eluded her pursuers, and, contin- uing the mad pace, she reached the parish house of the priest of the Im- maculate Conception church, which both young people had attended when in town.
 The girl, when help was at hand, sank unconscious on the doorstep, and as the policeman and priest carried her in the body of James Gaffney, with the life spark nearly extinct. was found in the buggy at the curb
 Death came that morning to the young man, and the girl, so wonderfully heroic under the most trying ordeal, lies at the city's hospital unconscious and her death expected. But she won her race.

MEETING OF THE
 BASEBALL MACNATES

New York, Oct 25.--Delegates rep resenting twentyfour minor leagues, comprising the National association of Professional Baseball clubs, of which +. T. Powers is president, will begin Il three days session to-day at the Hotel Victoria.
 Every part of the Union will be rep resented at the, meeting, for which an elaborate program has been laid out by committee of Eastern league magnates, including automobile rides q trip in the subway and President Powers's annual banquet.
 The delegates have important busi- ness to transact and their delibera- tions may end in parting of the ways between the National and Amer fcan leagues on one side and the minor leagues on the other The National Baseball commission, of which Garry Hermann of Cincinnati is chairman and president: Ban Johnson Of the American league and President Harry c. Pulliam of the National league. are associate members, recently made a decision which is considered arbitrary and illegal by the minor leaguers and they have refused to submit to 1t.
 To this the national commission an swered that unless all of the findings of the commission are respected by all parties to the national agreement it would not only be useless for us to continue further in our work, but ab- solute folly to attempt to do so."
 The National association claims to be half the agreement and calls atten- ton to the article which creates the National commission. It reads: A commission of three, to be known as the National commission, is hereby created with power to construe and carry out the terms and provisions of this agreement, excepting when it pertains to the internal affairs of the National associatio
 The minors claim the National com mission has interfered in their inter- nal affairs. They resent the idea of three men being the dictators of twenty-four strong organizations con- trolling nearly 5000 ball players.
 Following leagues are members of the National association:
 The Eastern league, the Western league, the American association, the New York State league, the Indiana, Iowa and Illinois league, the Southern league. the Pacific National league, the Connecticut State league. the Gen. tral league, the South Texas league, the Cotton States league, the Missouri Valley league, the Texas league, the Iowa-South Dakota league, the North ern league, the Kentucky Illinois Ten nessee league, Hudson River league, the South Atlantic league, the Iowa State league, the Pacific Coast league, the Oregon State league, the Delta league, the southwestern league.

REGISTER OF WILLS ACCOUNTS.
Mr.. Dent Tells How They Were Sub
mitted Under His Administration.

In commenting today on a statement
printed In The Star of yesterday that he
had made settlements of his accounts with
the Treasury Department but once a year,
Mr.. Louis A. Dent, former register of wills
for the District of Columbia, said to a re-
porter for The Star: "Since the act Of June
IA, 1892, making the Office of the register OF
wills a salaried Office and requiring the
registers to turn the surplus fees into the
treasury, every register of wills, including
myself, has followed the uniform practice
of settling his accounts with the treasury
semi-annually and paying over at the end
of the fiscal year, in accordance with the
law and the universal government practice
as sanctioned by the accounting officers, the
balance remaining In their hands. There
has been no varying or different constrnc-
ton Of the executive order by the different
registers. The accounting officers Of the
treasury are the ones who construe such
orders and who compel disbursing officers
to comply with their construction. The
statement, therefore, that the different
registers have construed the order to suit
themselves and that had settled my ac-
counts but once a year are both absolute
misstatements Of fact
