DOUBLE HEADER
DAY
All the Teams But Two Of
Eastern League Played
Twice Yesterday.
SHELTERS WON TWO GAM ES
Baltimore Split Even With
Montreal and Nswark With
Buffalo-Clubs' Standing.


1t was almost a double day in the
Eastern League contest for the pennant
yesterday. With the exception of ProYi-
dence and Rochester the league teams
played double headers. The Skeeters
profted, winning both games from To-
ronto. Baltimore split even with Mon
treal, and Newark and Buffalo divided
honors. The Skeetels barely won the
first game with Toronto; the score being
3 to 2. While there was an alleged ques-
tionable decision by Umpire Conway in
favor of the Skeeters, the fact that the
Toronto men failed to hit at opportune
times had more to do with their defeat
bases at almost all stages of the game,
but the necessary hit was not forthcom-
ing and the Skeeters INDUCED in sharp
field work. loft disputed one of the
umpire's decisions and attempted to
strike him. He was ordered from the
field and replaced by Sullivan O'Brien's
batting for Toronto was the feature of
the game, and he carried it into the sec
ond, knocking out home run in the
first inning and sending Soffel ahead of
him. The Skeeters made all three runs
of the first game in the first inning.
Clement singled and Bean dropped a
fly in short left. Clement was thrown
out at third. Keister sent out roller
that was fumbled by Soffel. A double
steal was pulled off and Beams reach of
the home plate was close, but the UNI
pire called him safe. 1t was the dispute
over this that led to Toft's being ordered
to the bench.S Merritt's hit advanced
Keister to third, but he was forced at
the plate by Halligan. Merritt got home
on Sullivan's wild throw and Halligan
followed on a hit by Pattee. In the sec
ond game the Canadians returned the
compliment by scoring trio of runs in
the first inning. 1t was done on a hit
by Harley, steal a wild pitch and
o'Brien's homer. Toronto scored another
run in the third. After that the Skeet-
ers woke up and settled down to bust
ness. Pfanmiller allowed but one hit
during the balance of the game, while
the Skeeters rolled up score of s runs.
Falkenberg went to pieces in the sixth.

SOME RELIEF
Showers Yesterday Made
the Temperature Bear
able If Not
Agreeable

The city awoke this morning with
feeling of vast relief from the killing heat
that has prevailed for ten days past.
People were able to breathe again with
out gasping, and a brisk breeze that
seemed to grow cooler and fresher as the
morning wore on famed the feyerish
cheeks of the multitude of citizens, who
went to their daily tasks to-day cheer
fully instead Of grudgingly, as during
the past week. The prospect held out by
the Weather Bureau was for continued
cooler weather, as it was said that
cold wave was rapidly bearing down
upon the city from the west.
The temperature at 8 o'clock this
morning was 76 deg This was only 4
deg. cooler than yesterday at the same
hour. but the quality of the air seemed
altogether of a different brand than THAT
of the past week. and discomfort was re-
duced to minimum
The break in the force of the baking,
sweltering heat that was made by the
rain yesterday afternoon and was pleas
antly in evidence all night was even more
pronounced to-day. The effect of this
was apparent everywhere. That the
change came none too soon was realized
in all quarters. The measure of the heat
yesterday was such that in Greater New
York there were forty-two deaths due to
it and 15S prostrations, and in this city
the number was proportionate With the
enervated condition of thousands of per-
sons "dene up by the hot wave few
more days of the weather would have

CAMP EDWARD G. STOKES, SEA
GIRT. July 20. 1905.--"Poor Libbie Gar
rabrandt; this news will surely kill her."
was the unanimous sentiment of a score
of newspaper correspondents when it was
announced at the close of the Court of
Pardons meeting that consideration of
her case had been postponed until the
next meeting of the Court, owing to the
absence of Judge William H. Vreden-
burgh, of Freehold, who is critically i'll.
Lying on cot in the hospital ward
of the prison at Trenton was Libbie Gar
rabrandt, anxiously awaiting news from
Sea Girt that would mean freedom to
her or three months longer in conine
ment before her case could again be
brought before the Court of Pardons.
She had been led to believe by friends
who are working like Trojans to secure
her release, that there was a good chance
that the Court of Pardons would grant
her her liberty at yesterdays session,
and during the entire day she eagerly
awaited the result.
Warden Osborne was not so hopeful
that the Court of Pardons would liber
ate the unfortunate woman, and he tried
by every means within his power to di-
vert her mind from the case. He had
been told by the prison physician that
she was afflicted with heart disease and
that to excite her unduly would probably
cause an attack which would result in
her death. For this reason he refused
to allow any of her friends to visit her
and took extra precautions that no mes
sages should be conveyed to her until
he had. first closely scrutinized them. By
ignorance of what action had been taken
by the Court until it was definitely de
cided that she had been granted her free
dom.
At four o'clock yesterday afternoon,
Libbie having received no news from
Sea Girt became extremely nervous and
sent an appealing note to Warden Os-
| bornevask ng if he could not telephone to
Sea Girt and find out the result of her
appeal for clemency. The Warden sent
back word that he would be pleased to
grant her request if such was possible
but that telephone communication with
Sea Girt was impossible as the Court
was still in session.
This message seemed to ease the wo-
man and she soon fell into a quiet sleep
from which she did not awaken until
o'clock last evening. BY that time War
den Osborne had received the news that
the Board Of Pardons had postponed con-
sideration Of her case owing to the abb
sence of Judge Vredenburgh, who was
one q those members q the court VINO
favored her freedom
The warden then broke the news to
Libbie as gently as he could. He told
her that when Judge Vredefburgh re-
covered there was a good chance that she
would be pardoned and advised her not
70 fret or worry over the matter any
longer.
Libbie expressed regret that Judge
Vredenburgh was absent and said that
she felt confident that if he had attend
ed the session the majority vote would

Board Of City Hospital Trustees to fill
the vacancies caused by DR.. Lampson's

Now that he has obtained control Of. the

it is expected that in a few days some
action regarding the building Of the new
hospital will be taken. The Mayor con-
trolls the situation and at last he will
have his way. There are some people

putting up the new hospital was pur-
posely delayed until the eve Of the May

of the association. At the grove he was
introduced to the few members who had
not had the pleasure of his acquaintance,
and when he entered the dining room
while dinner was being served he was ac-
corded an ovation that convinced him
he was among friends. He was forced
to make a speech and the 800 members
Of the association and friends of the

MERELY
MENTIONED

Colonel Dickinson's friends feel
that the Republican organization
won victory when Gov. Stokes
at Sea Girt yesterday vetoed the
Duff Water Bin making the bonds to
be issued for the purchase of the new
water plant a first lien on the property.
This measure was prepared by Corpora
ton Counsel Record and it was through
his efforts that it passed the Legislature.
Col. Dickinson was against the bill from
the start and he did not give up the fight
when it reached the Governors hands.
He urged a veto. while Mayor Pagan
and the other administration forces used
all the influence at their command to
have it approved. Only the other day
the Mayor and Finance Commissioner
Rlngle Went to Sea Girt and pleaded
with the Governor to allow the bill to
become a law. Mr.. Ringle was tickled
TO death over the nice way the Governor
talked to the Jersey City Representatives
and he was fully convinced that the bill
would be signed. He forgot that even
though Col. Dickinson was in Europe,
the Governor remembered promise he
made him before his departure. The
visit Of Mayor Pagan and Mr.. Ringle to
Sea Girt had the effect of having the
matter disposed OF earlier than was in
tended. Col. Dickinson's friends are
saying they knew that when it came to a
show down the Governor would stand by
him instead Of the Pagan administra-
tion.

,iaD-Nearly every newspaper tells
Of some wonderful cure Of some form
Of Kidney Disease by the Great Amer.

and this part Of Arkansas is not with.
out its share Of evidence that no case

WELDING COPPER.
It is 4 Matter Of Personal Skill and
Cannot Be TauQht.

A Los Angeles mechanic has redls-
covered the lost art, said to have been
possessed by the ancients, of welding
copper. But from his own description
it would seem that the recovery is
not permanent, and that the secret
vii die with him, as his efforts to i'm
part 1t to others are not attended with
success. When asked to explain the
manner In which he made the discov-
cry, says the Los Angeles Herald, he
said:
81 began five years ago to weld cop
per just as l weld iron. Copper weld
ing Is an art, not a science, and ev-
erything lies in the eye, in the ability
to take the metal from the fire at just
the proper moment.
Il have been experimenting in weld
ing processes for over twenty-five
years, and since l discovered the weld
ing color, have tried to teach it to my
men, but without success.
"They are unable to distinguish color
variations under fire, which is the one
essential, and which is perfectly sim.
pie and easy for me. In this lies the
great trouble in teaching the process,
and this trouble is increased by the
fact that copper Is dead metal and
contains no carbon"
1t is very likely that the art among
the ancients was not general, and that
specimens which have been found in
the ruins of ancient cities were the
product of individual craftsmen, who
discovered and used it, and it died with
them, for the very reason set forth by
Mr.. Thos. A. Mcneil, the Los Angeles
man using it, in his statement to the
Herald.-Nogales (Ariz.) Oasis.
