BASE BALL.
The Ridge Spring Team Defeats
Batesburg Boys.

While Friday afternoon was not an
high wind that prevailed, fairly good
game was pulled off on the s~hoo
grounds at this place between Ridge
Spring and Batesburg. Both teams
were made up of sprightly youngsters
who played good ball, considering the
fact that neither team hac received
much practice. Both teams had its
fair share of "rooters," but to all APP
pearances the maidrnS from the Ridge
were the best educated along. this 'i:Se.
The girls took possession Of the line
towards first base and the mn the line
to third-and they were all from the
Ridge, too. The Batesburjers Were
rc!eSa' ID to the rear rank tut W. al

sand, continually blown in ones

Another delay occurred in the Ep-
pinger trial yesterday. owing to the i'll
ness of the defendant. The prosecu-
tion is inclined to the opinion that this
illness is only feigned, as the attacks
come at most convenient periods for
the defense. From time to. time dur
ing the trial the attorneys for Ep-
pinger have been protesting against
the long hours in the courtroom, argu-
ing that they had not sufficient time
to read over the transcripts and pre-
pare their case Meanwhile the prose-
cution was busily engaged in forging
link after link in the chain of evidence
with which ii expects to convict the
head of the once prosperous grain firm.
Last week, when the note. book of
the firm was introduced in court, a
new line Of inquiry was opened, which
it was thought, might occupy several
days, but, much to the surprise of all.

i'll and suggested that an adjournment
that he was averse to a further con-
tinuance and would like the opinion of
DR.. GaIlwey as to the physical condi-
tion of the defendant. The jury was
excused and a message sent to Dr.
Gallwey, but he was attending a pa
tient in San Mateo and could not re-
spond. AS it was represented that Ep-
pinger was in a serious condition.
Judge Lawlor advised that his own
physician be summoned making the
proviso that no extended continuance
of the case would be granted until a
doctor summoned by the court had
given an opinion.
DIR. L. D. Whitney, Eppinger's physi-
clan, was called in and after a brief
examination said the patient was suf-
fering from spasm of the heart which
was dangerous to keep him longer in
the close air and under the nerve-try-
ing conditions of the courtroom. An
adjournment was accordingly allowed
until 10 O'Clock this morning and the
aged defendant, supported by his two
sons, left the courtroom
Eppinger's attorneys declare that he
is very feeble but that in their anxiety
to finish the trial he stayed up with
them until midnight on Sunday aiding
them in preparing the defense This,
they believe, partially accounts for the
collapse of yesterday.

member of the Sixtieth Coast Artillery

on deposit in the Market-street Bank
at Seventh and Market streets. Last
Friday he missed his bank book Yes
terday when he went to the bank to

book had probably been stolen and
he was told not to worry, as the thief
would be at once recognized if an at

Rutherford had left the bank not

Bratton, member of the same COM

the bank with a check for S25, which
he asked to be cashed. The check
purported to be signed by Rutherford.
The bank officials told Bratton to

Disapproye Appointments.

The Civil Service Commissioners
at a meeting held last night disap-
proved the action of the Election
Commissioners in appointing twenty
five non-civil service deputy registrars
on the ground that the positions
should have been filed from the
eligible list of clerks. The Election
Commission has taken the stand that
inasmuch as the list Of those qualified
to fill the positions Of deputy regis
trars has been exhausted the appoint
ments were made pending the holding
of another examination of applicants
for the positions. Until a decision by
Judge Sloss, before whom the matter
was taken on injunction proceedings.
no further action will be taken. The
commission approved the temporary
appointments made by the Board of
Health to several new positions pend
ing examinations.
