What promised 10 be one OF the pref

HandibOe yesterday when with the
score 1 TO against him he attempted
10 delay matters in the game between
the Atlantics and St Stephens Insti-

Both teams were struggling hard and
the sky became overcast and II looked
as II II would rain St. Stephens was
in the last half OF the fourth inning
HandibOe began his dilatory tactics and
threw the ball twice over the backstop
and once over third base. The umpire
pulled his watch out several times and
warned him to desIst. but the captain
refused TO do So
The St Stephens players were doing
their best to get out so the FIVE in

awarded the game to St Stephens IN

three more innings could easily have

GREAT LEADER DEAD.
Susan B. Anthony Succumbs Aftel
Long Struggle With Attack of
Pneumonia.

Rochester, N. Y, March 13.--Miss
Susan B. Anthony died early this
morning after long illness of pneu
monia. Arrangements for the funeral
probably will be made today.
DR.. M. S. Kicker, her attending
physician, said Miss Anthony died OF
heart failure induced by double pneu
monia.
Miss Anthony's last public appear
ance, which was at the National Wom
ans Suffrage convention In Balti,
more few weeks ago, was really the
beginning of the end of the great suf.
fragist's career. Under the weight OF
her sc years and worn by the almost
constant pains of neuralgia, she was
i'll when she left her home in Roch.
ester for the convention city.
At Baltimore her health was little
better, but it was with tae greatest
difficulty that her friends kept her
away from the daily sessions ct the
Baltimore convention. She chafed un.
der the enforced retirement OF her
room, and was only half content with
the minute reports which reached her
from the convention hall.
But even in her absence it was her
mind which dominated the conven.
ton. Every piece of business trans
acted there was considered ty her be-
fore action was taken and it was her
advice which cleared away many
tangles.
Up until her last illness overcame
her Miss Anthony looked to be scarce
ly 70 and except on days when she
was tormented with neuralgia, from
which she suffered intensely during
her later years, she possessed the en-
ergy of woman of so. In hcr latter
years, too, her liking for dai1ly raj
ment increased to a remarkable de-
gree. She wore soft black gowns of
modish cut and had a fondness for
plable satins and soft silk fabrics.
Funeral Of Miss Anthony.
Rochester, N Y, March 13.--The
funeral of Susan B. Anthony has been
set for Thursday at 2 o'clock. Rev.

disaster of Saturday resulted in loss
of over a thousand lives. Snow has

Sad Fate of Rescuers.
Paris. Mar. 13.-Following upon the
heels of the terrible catastrophe in the
Courrieres Coal mine, seventeen men
who went into the shafts to bring out
dead bodies at the fearful beseechings
Of widows, were caught by the deadly
gases and died before they could es-
cape. This last sad event has deep
ened the gloom already prevalent in
the scourged district.
Horrible Scenes.
Paris, March l3.-Women with chill,
dren in their arms attempt to break
through the Gordon of troops which
forms lane through which the body
bearers proceed to the mortuary cham
Der at the mine. Sometimes the bur-
den consists of merely heap of burnt
flesh and in nearly every case the body
is terribly lacerated. Only one-half
of the bodies recovered have been
identified
Despite the danger incurred volun-
teers, who include number of those
who were successful in escaping at
the time of the explosion, do not hes
itate to descend the shaft. Some of
them have been down rDre than Il
dozen times. One of them, after hav-
ing brought up fourteen bodies, was
suffocated in his fifteenth attempt and
it is feared other fatalities among the
volunteers will follow, as the air in
the mine is still impregnated with
noXious gas. A number of men en-
gagged in rescue work have already
been brought to the surface uncon-
scious, and as they were driven to
their homes in closed carriages, wom-
en- followed and broke the windows,
suspecting that bodies were being
hurried away.

to call upon neighbors at the time of
the suicide. Her husband stood in the

pulled the trigger by striking it with
stove poker. He had been despond-
