suectators in a continual state of excite
ment and expectancy. Among those who
watched the game were nearly fifty chill
dren. each of whom was wondering If
father would reach home plate safely, and
thus make himself and them famous.

managed to score IL runs as against 3 for
their opponent.

SERIOUS FLOODS RAGING IN SEC
TloNS OF KENTUCKY AND

Mount Sterling, KY, March 11.-oyer
one and one-quarter inches Of rain has
fallen in eastern Kentucky mountains
in the past As hours and a flood is inn
minent. The Kentucky, Licking and
Red rivers are raging torrents, the
Licking having a 24-foot rise Friday.
Over 100000 logs have passed into the
booms along the rivers and more
are running in the streams. The Lick
ing River railroad and the Lexington
& Eastern railway have both been dam
aged. The fbrmer lost a large trestle by
a rush of water in Caney creek. Wyom-
ing and Salt Lick on the Licking and
Beattyviile on the Kentucky are in dan
ger of being inundated and residents
along the lower courses are moving out.
Morgantown, w. Va, March 11.-No
flood since 1888 has wrought the dam
age done by high waters here Friday.
The Monongahela river reached a stage

Decker and Dunkard creeks were high

MINOR COUNTS DISMISSED
COURT HOLDS NoNEsSENTIAL A
PART OF CHADWICK CHARGES.
Arguments in the Famous Case Begun
Accused Woman in Fear
of Result.

Cleveland, o., March l1.--Judge Tay-
Ter Friday freed Mrs. Chadwick on two
of the 16 counts in the Indictment.
These two counts were based on a check
that was made payable not at the time
it was drawn, but OF a date in the fu-
ture. The defense claimed this and the
judge agreed with them that because it
was made payable in the future the So
called check was no check at all. So
he threw it out. There still remained
on the indictment IA counts based on
sever checks.
To-day will see the close of the pres
ent trial of Mrs. Chadwick, and the case
will probably be given to the jury some
time during the afternoon. Just before
adjourning court for the day, Judge Tay-
Ter announced that it was his intention
to keep at the present case until it is fin
ished, and he directed that all other
court business be passed until MONDAY
morning.
Friday was given over to arguments,
half of the total number having been
disposed of. Assistant District Attorney
Thomas H. Garry spoke in the morning
and Judge Wing, for Mrs. Chadwick,
took up all of the afternoon, with the ex-
ception of one-half hour Just before the
adjournment Of court. This time was
taken by j. P. Dawley, senior counsel
for the defense, who is to deliver the
main argument for Mrs. Chadwick.
1t was a trying day for Mrs. Chadwick,
and her pale face and nervous manner
showed that the strain of the trails tell
ing on her. During the greater part of
the afternoon she sat back in her chair
as IL greatly exhausted. The attack
made by Mr.. Garry upon her financial
methods disturbed her greatly. When
he showed the jury by her own checks
that, without having any money in the
bank, she had secured loans amounting
to $751;, 900, and $104,0 0 Of it in one day,
when the total amount which the bank
could legally loan one person was but
$4,000, the prisoner sank back in her
chair as If she believed that the state
ment of the attorney must have great
effect on the minds of the jurymen. She
was greatly discouraged at the time OF
the midday adjournment, and said: II
have about given up all hope. I haven't
any chance in this court" During the
afternoon, when her own attorneys
were making arguments, she frightened
up very much. Her troubles will not
be over, however, even If acquitted in
the present case. District Attorney
Sullivan said Friday afternoon that he
would probably bring about a second
trial on another indictment Immediately
following her acquittal in the present
case.

Prof. Madison, the elocutionist and

day evening at Phillips hall for the
entertainment of his Buxton friends
who were here attending the trial.

Some Of the songs that go to malse
up the program at some OF the
church entertainments could with
much propriety be left out. We refer
to coon" songs in particular. Most
of them contain a touch of vulgarity
and the best OF them are coarse ano
irritating to the finer sensibilities OF
a refined taste. They are neither
moral nor entertaining, and have no
place on the program of church en-
tertainments and we hope that in the
future those who have charge OF
such entertainments will try to keep
such songs out OF the program.

SIGNS ARE VERY GRATIFYING
CONFIDENCE IN BUSINESS OUT
LOOK rs MORE GENERAL.
Weather Conditions Favorable and In.
dustrial Situation Causes Little
Interruption to Trade.

New York, March lit. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Confidence has become more general
through resumption of outdoor work,
opening of spring trade and expecta.
ton that the war will soon terminate.
Weather conditions are favorable in
most sections of the country, and there
is little interruption because of labor
controversies. Some inconvenience
was caused by the local strike, and re.
tail trade suffered Temporarily, but in
the aggregate, the commercial loss was
not extensive. The most gratifying
news of the week emanates from the
iron and steel industry, where unpre-
cedented output of pig iron is not pro-
ductiYe of accumulated stocks, Other
leading manufacturing operations are
making steady progress, although
larger orders would be welcomed by
cotton mills and shoe shops. In those
lines the buyers are exhibiting great
caution, limiting purchases to imme-
date needs.
Failures this week numbered 244
in the United States against 259 last
year, and 20 in Canada compared with
rs a year ago."
Bradstreet's says: The merchandise
movement in practically all sections
save a portion Of the south has ex-
banded considerably, the railways have
begun to win out of their ~car-conges-
ton troubles and are handling a very
large traffic, preparations for an active
building are reflected in the mar
ket for material and the iron and steel
and allied industries report keen de-
mand unprecedented consumption for
this season, the only complaint being
that deliveries of crude and finished
products are not up to consumers
needs. Retail trade shows little expan-
sion as yet and the late Easter season
fayors some continued quietness, but
no complaint comes from this source
except in the metropolis, where the
transportation strike affects sales. Col
lections lag, except at a few western
points, which report Improvement.
Money is phenomenally easy"

RESUMES work.
DISAGREEMENT OVER MULE
DRIVERS, PAY WILL BE
ARBITRATED.

Des Moines, March 11.-Seventeen
drivers at the Saylor coal mines went
out on a strike Wednesday morning
because they claimed a half hour
more credit on working time on
Tuesday than the management con
coded to them and the mines have
been closed down since. Despite the
fact that the officers of the local UNI
ion and also the state officials order
ed the belligerents to go back to
work, the strikers defied authority
and refused to obey orders over
200 miners are consequently idle.
On Wednesday afternoon the mines
closed down at about 1880 for some
repairs. The following morning the
drivers inquired of the management
If they were to be credited with six
and a half hours of work the preced
ing day, or seven. The management
informed them that they would be
given credit for six and a half hours
but the drivers claimed seven. When
they found that this would not be
conceded they determined to strike.
thus tying up the entire mine.
The officers of the union were ap
pealed to and after learning Of the
situation ordered the men to go back
to work. The men refused. Then
John White, state president, was com
municated with over the long dis
lance telephone and he ordered the
men to go back to work pending fur
Their settlement. This order they
also refused. Yesterday Secretary
Edwin Perry, of Oskaloosa, reached
the city and went directly to the
mines where a meeting was held last
night.
Later.-Teh men all returned to
work today and the mine is in full op
GRAFTON again with no likelihood OF
further trouble. The men returned
to work upon the order of Secretary
Edwin Perry.

MODERN PAINTERS.
Were the Most Popular at the Art
Exhibit Last Week.

Modern painters were far more
popular with the young folks who at
tended the Art Exhibit at Winters
hall last week, than were the old
masters, and of the votes cast by the
school children for their favorite OF
the prints, E. Munier's 1.-TWO Lovers"
a portrait of a little maiden and her
cat, received the majority. Eggles
tons Golden Hours" was second
choice of the young folks, and the
warrior spirit was manifested by the
small boys who voted for "Sherman's
March to the Sea-" by barley, giving
that third place.
Murillo's Children of the She'll
was the only masterpiece to receive
many votes, and was fifth in the bal.
loting.
The portrait Of Washington receiv'
ed several ballots, and two little col.
ored girls cast their votes for the
print of the Lincoln statue by st
Gaudens. Amusing instances among
the children were several. One
sturdy ~youngster, aged nine, careful
ly examined every battle picture in
the room, and never so much as
glanced at the more peaceful present
ations of life.
The showing Of prints was unfor
tunate in a much smaller patronage
than the excellent quality Of the ex
hibit deserved. The ladies' Melted q

ceeds will be used in purchasing 9
