BIRDS WIN IN TWELFTH.
Weber's Homer Starts Batting Rally that
Gives Pelicans Best of Long Game.
NapoIeonvilies Drub Parker
Blakes-Reliances Lose
to Burton.

With a badly crippled team the Pei
leans iourneyed to Whitecastle last
Sunday and put up the best game they
have played this season, defeating the
lumber town club in the twelfth inning
of most interesting and hard-fought
contest. There were errors on both
sides, but these did not materially af-
feet the score and the two mines strug-
/ gled through the allotted number OF
innings and two more without either
gaining a perceptible advantage. Then
came the twelfth and victory for the
birds. Weber was first up and really
won the game by knocking the sphere
over a tree outside the ball lot. Hits
by six OF his team-m ates followed, CIV
ing the Pelicans lead of five runs,
which the Whitecastles failed to lessen
in their half.
Each team scored in the frst period,
the birds securing one on tumble by
Sanchez of Weber's grounder, a hit
by Variant and a wild pitch, and the
lumbermen theirs on free pass issued
to Postell, sacrifice by Smith, and
errors by Delatse and Werner.
Postell crossed the plate again in
the third as result of Weber's error,
which allowed the center. fielder to
reach first, a stolen base and an error
by Rybiski.
Whitecastle scored the third and last
run in the fourth, when Miller hit to
right and went to the third corner on
Vegas inability to field the ball,
tallying on Delatte's tumble OF Rami-
res grounder.
After the first, the PeIicans did not
reach home again until the sixth, when
Variant hit for two sacks and com.
pleted the circuit on a sacrifice by
Rybiski. They tied the score in the
nine and would have won right there
but for poor base running. It hap
pened like this: Vegas singled and
stole second; Delatte duplicated the
stunt, Vegas going to third; Werner
famed; L. Acosta laid one down
to the pitcher in an attempt to squeeze
in a run, but Vegas was slow in the
get away and was trapped between the
bases, Delatte taking third during the
play; Weber hit a nice one to center,
scoring the short-stop and advancing
the pitcher to third, while he took sec.
ond on the throw-in; Variant ended
the inning by fouling out.
The tenth and eleventh were almost
repetitions, the batters on each side
going out in short order. In the
twelfth, with one down, Weber soaked
one of Belts benders for four bags
and the clout seemed to take the starch
out of the twirler, for Variant. Ry-
biski, Creoli, Delatte and Werner each
got single, while W. Acosta secured
a two-sacker.
Lucien Acosta pitched nice, heady
game, holding his opponents safe at
all times and keeping the hits we'll
scattered. Belts also did good work
up to the last inning, but the support
accorded him was poor.
The whole story is told in the fol-
lowing tabulated score:

FORMER HEAD OF CHRISTIAN
CATHOLIC CHURCH DIES AFT
Err LONG ILLNESS,
TOUCH OF FORMER DISPLAY
FUNERAL EXERCISES WILL BE
MARKED BY REVIVAL OF OLD
TIME POMP.

Chicago, March 12.-John Alexander
Dowie died at 7:40 Saturday morning
at Shiloh house, Zion City. There
were present with him when he died
only Judge D. N. Barnes and two per
sonal attendants.
1t had been Dowie's custom all sum-
mer and winter to hold religious serv-
ices every Sunday afternoon in the
parlor of Shiloh house. About $50 of
his original followers remained faith
full and attended these services. Dowie
always wore his apostolic robes and
made a characteristic address. Five
weeks ago these meetings ceased, and
Dowie appeared no longer in public.
The Sunday meetings, however, were
still held by his adherents. Since that
time Dowie had gradually been failing.
Grows D%elirious.
Friday afternoon, however, there
He received a few followers, and pray
ed for some people. His condition
seemed to be about the same as for
the last two OF three weeks. One of
the attendants remained with him un-
til midnight and was relieved by the
other attendant.
Shortly before l o'clock Saturday
morning Dowie became delirious and
his talk was the same as at a religious
meeting in the days of his prime. He
denounced the people with the old-time
vigor, ordered the guards to throw out
d~isturbers, and acted just as he had
on so many previous occasions. Grad
ually he became weaker and weaker,
and the attendant telephoned for
Judge Barnes, who reached Shiloh
house at Z a. m. Forty minutes later
Dowie died.

SONG PREVENTS
PANIC AT FIRE
FIRE STARTS UNDER PLATFORM
WHILE BIG REVIVAL is IN
PROGRESS.
PREACHER STARTS A HYMN

Aberdeen, S. D., March 10. - While
big revival services were in progress
in the Auditorium last night, fire start
ed below the platform. where about
300 of the choir and preachers were
sitting. The place was packed with
people, fully 1000 being present.
When the smoke was noticed sew
eral walked out and Rev. r. E. John
son, the leader of the revival, at once
began singing. The choir took up the
song n ministers went among the
congregation, advising them to leave
quietly.
Some of the more excitable people
jumped through the windows, but in
en- minutes the large hall was empty.
Not a Single Accident.
Before the choir and the evangelist
left the platform the rearFwas in
flames. The firemen fought the fire
for an hour, subduing it after most OF
the platform had been burned.
Through the presence of mind of the
evangelist, aided by the work of the
ministers, not a single accident &C.
cured. Before the last of the congre-
cation were out the fremen were
fighting the flames. Several children
became separated from their parents,
but they were soon restored, neigh
boring stores being opened to assist in
this work.

NEW YORK STORM SWEPT.
Thirteenth Blizzard Dashes Hope That
Winter Mas Over.

winter was Over.
New York, March 12.-Leaden skies
and the ominous east wind to which
New Workers awoke yesterday dashed
any hopes they may have entertained
that the backbone Of winter, locally
speaking, had been broken. For sew
eral days the sun had shone promis-
ingly, but the city's thirteenth big
snow storm came yesterday.
Six Inches of Snow.
In eight hours nearly six inches of
snow had fallen, bringing the total
snowfall of the winter up to forty-four
inches.
This is double the fall Of last win
ter, and, according to the local wealth
er bureau the end is not yet. The
cost Of removing the snow from the
streets is estimated at 5000 the fat
inch.
1t being Sunday there was no great
tie-up of street trafic. A trolley car
conductor, blinded by the snow. sent
his car across the tracks of the Long
Island railroad, near Hampstead,
ahead of a train. The locomotive
struck the rear Of the car, but no one
was seriously injured.
Liners in Trouble.
On the North and East rivers the
ferryboats experienced troublous
times. Three Atlantic liners were due
to reach their docks yesterday, but the
La Savoie was the only one to dock.
No liner, other than the Savoie and
the Panama boat Colon, entered or left
port during the day.
