NATIONALS S WIN SECOND
GAMEBY SCORE OF 7TO1
Decisive Defeat the Champion American
Played During Bitterly Cold Weather-Perfect
Ball Playing ImpossibiIty

Chicago, October 10.-In the second
game of the worlds championship Sc
ries today, the Chicago National league
team took decisive revenge for yester-
days defeat when they vanquished the
American league team in the latter's
grounds, to 1.
White, and Owen, who replaced
White in the fourth inning were batted
freely and the American teams err
ror's also helped to increase the Ma
uonal's score. Reulbach, ON the con-
trary, was in fine form and allowed
the opposing batsmen only two hits.
The weather was bitterly cold, the
mercury lowering at or below the
freezing point all afternoon AS was
the case yesterday, a few flakes of
snow fell, but they were not needed to
add to the genral discomfort.
Between nine and ten thousand en-
thusiasts bundled from head to foot,
hraved the rigors of the weather but
they by no means filled all seats.
With frost nipping fingers and toes,
perfect baseball was an impossibility,
The practice of both teams was ex-
ceedingly ragged, the cold hands Of
the infielders refusing to cling to the
ball, while the outfelders missed many
flies which were blown out of reach
by the wind. In actual play the form
was better
The Nationals started the run-get-
ting. Captain Chance received an
ovation as he stepped to the plate,
but failed to hit three good ones. Then
Steinfeldt sent a scorching single to
left. Tinker laid down a perfect bunt,
and beat it to first, Steinfeldt reaching
second. Evers rolled an easy one
down to Isbell who in his haste to
make a double play, tossed the ball to
left field. Steinfeldt scored, Tinker
took third and Evers perched securely
on second. White deliberately allow
ed King to walk, but Reulbach sacri-
ficer Tinker home and Evers scored a
moment later on Hoffman's sacrifice
drive. King, however, was out at
the plate The half closed with three
runs over the plate and the enthusiasm
of the National league teams support
ers, somewhat modest, after yester-
days defeat, broke loose with a vigor
which took no thought of sore throats.
The next run for the Nationals came
when Chance was safe on a fielders
error. He stole second and went to
third when Isbell failed to hold Sulli-
vans bad throw. He scored when
Steinfeldt raped out his second clean
single.
The Americans lone tally in the
fifth when Dough "rty was safe on a
felder's error. He took second on a

wild pitch and scored when Tannehilrs
grounder went past Tinker, who was
confused by the base runner. The
Americans never even threatened
again, except when Jones reached
second on his own hit and reached
third On an out. Donohue, however
flew out TO left field and Jones was
caught yards from the plate by
Sheckard's perfect throw.
In the sixth two singles, a double
steal by Tinker and Evers and Sulli-
vans wild throw to third the ball
rolling into the crowd, let Tinker
across the plate.
In the eighth two more tallies re-
suited from Chances single, Stein
feldt's sacrifice, Chances pretty steal
to third and Tinker's single, which
brought IN Chance. Tinker stole
second, went to third on Evers out and
came home o ma wild pitch
Steinfeldt's batting and Reulbach's S
pitching were easily the features of
the game, always excepting the blue
fingers and vapory breath Of the
players.

Our national government" Gov

legislated for the Indians, placing
around them restrictions entirely diff
ferent from those applied to white
men. But for the fourteenth amend
meat to the constitution, we should
follow the same plan in Georgia with
reference to the negroes. The white
man must accept full responsibility
and control of the situation. This is
the white mans country and it is the
white mans burden. The negro should
be encouraged to help. Kindly but
firmly the large majority of negroes
must be supervised and directed, by
the white man The facts should be
kept In mind that very large number
of negroes are irresponsible and when
left to idleness are prone to crime. We
must exhaust all legal means to save
negroes from idleness,"

New York, October 10.-The assign
ment OF J. NJ Ceballos and Company
bankers and merchants. with liabili-
ties between 100000 and $4,000 900,
was announced today in a statement
which declared that the failure was
due TO the defalcation and abscondinc
OF Manuel Silveira of Silveia and
Company, Havana, agents for the
legged to amount to about s1,000,000.
He sailed from Havana on October .
ostensibly for New York city to con-
suit with the members Of J. NJ. Cebal-
los and Company, but has not reached
this city. Counsel for the assignee
said today that Silveira has left on mis-
steamer, the Carmelina, for parts un-
known, accompanied by his wife and
children and that every effort was be-
ing made to locate him.
The members Of the firm of ]. NJ.
Ceballos and Company are: j. NJ.
Ceballos, John S. Fiske and Anderson
c. Wilson.
The assignee is William H Rowe OF
the law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell,
of this city
Mr.. Rowe said today that the assets
Of the firm are of q very substantial
character, but from a hasty examina-
ton it was manifest that they would
require careful outstanding. Account
ants are now at work on the books of
the company. 1t was stated unOf-
ficially that there was ground to hope
that the assets would be sufficient to
cover the losses of the firm and thai
it would be enabled to resume bus
mess
J. NJ. Ceballos and Company was es-
tablished about fifty years ago and
has large interests in Cuba, chiefly
in the development of railroads and
sugar plantations. 1t operates line
of steamers between New York and
Spanish ports and has connections in
SIain, European centers and Spanish
Amerisan cities.
Silveira and Company were one OF
the largest and best known firms in
Havana, were the largest importers
of cattle in Cuba and were reputed es-
pecially to have made large for
tune Immediately after the war.
Mr.. Rowe, the assignee, Immediate
ly took charge of the business. Will
liam Nelson Cromwell, counsel for the
assignee, stated:
''Messrs. Ceballos and Company
having no premonition of this conduct
of their agent and confronted with this
large loss and the deprivation of thei"
current resources, | have, in this emer-
gency, deemed it just to all having re
lations with them, that they should
make a general assignment, without
preference in order to insure equality
to all and opportunity for examination
of their affairs in connection with the
UNEXPECTED and amazing develop
ments. Under the extraordinary con-
ditions mentioned and the suddenness
of the disaster which has fallen upon
the firm of Ceballos and Company,
it IS impracticable at the moment to
make an intelligent statement OF their
assets and liabilities. In a general way
the liabilities are between three ana
four million dollars. The accountants
are at work and will be able with
few days to make fuller statement.

Cleveland, O., October 10.-In the
presence Of sixty pupils, in the South
Euclid school, Harry Smith, 25 years
old shot to death Miss Mary Shepard,
q teacher. 22 years old this afternoon.
Going behind the barn in the rear Of
his home in Warrensville. two hours
later, Smith shot himself through
the head, dying instantly.
Disappo ntment in love is said to
have been the motive for the cold
bloOded murder. Smith. was fourth
cousin to Miss Shepard. had woCed her
for some time and recently was re-
jected. He brooded over the unhappy
ending of his courtship, and this after
noon, first quitting his position,
bought a revolver and went to the
South Euclid shcoOl. Miss Shepard
responded to his knock at the dooc.
walked in and for few moments
talked to her in the hall. Suddenly
he whipped out his revolver, showed
it against her head and fired twice in
rapid succession, both bullets crash
among the pupils, who rushed out of
the building screaming. Some of the
girls tainted.
Smith leisurely walked out and board
ed car for Warrensville. The news
of the crime went like wild-fire, and in
less than half an hour an armed pos
Sc was in pursuit. The identity of
the murderer was quickly established.
Chief of Police Kohler was notified,
and he dispatched four policemen to
Smiths home in Warrenville, a short
distance from the school. On the su-
burban car Smith confessed to the con-
ductor that he had killed Miss Shep-
ard and remarked that they will
have to kill me to get me-.
Reaching home but a few minutes
before the arrival of the posse and
police, Smith told his father Of the
crime When his pursuers hove into
sight the young man became highly
nervous and ran from the house to the
rear of the barn. His father remained
in the house A loaded oonble-barrel-
ed shot gun was leaning against cne
side of the house. but wss passed by
Smith who evidently had determined
not to put up fight but to end mis-
life as soon as surrounded. When the
rosse got within a few feet Of him,
calling for his surrender, as the four
officers were rushing to eject his cap
ture. he placed the revolver against
his head and blew his brains out.
