BASE BALL, RACING

the ball ahead of them to Beckley in yards.
There were such howls for Crawford. an
old Houston favorite. that McCloskey re-
placed Holly with him in the second.
Ganley got long fly from Crawfords bat
that he had to chase to deep right.
Ladies formed one-fOurth of the specta-

Half the Nationals went to church in the
forenoon and the others took sightseeing
buzz wagons for rides around the city.
Burch beat out a slow deliberate bunt
that Falkenberg couldn't reach in time.
Burch was the first man on either side to
reach first and then he did not make it until
the last half of the third inning.
Perrine whizzed one by Karger and Craw-
ford that neither tried to reach.
The Nationals safeties in the fourth were
all clean.
Anderson went out on a fly to left in the
fourth that was so far that Ganley logged
in from third.

Blankenshp's throwing was fine. The one

NOTED PHILADELPHIA DEAD.
Apoplexy Ended Life of Lawyer Ca.
ven, Once a Potential Figure.

PHILADELPHIA, March IS.-Joseph l..
Caven, one time leader of the greatest of
Philadelpha's political reform movements
later a potential figure in the city's finan-
cial circles, a lawyer and for q quarter of
a century member of the board of city
trusts, died of apoplexy yesterday at his
home in Haverford. Although Mr. Caven
was seventy-two years OF age he had been
enjoying excellent health, and the attack
came without warning. About $50 o'clock
in the morning his daughter. Mrs. Ellen
Caven Hensel, heard him groaning. When
she reached his side he was fast losing
consciousness and was gasping for breath.
doctor was summoned. but Mr. Caven
died a few minutes after his arrival.
Mr.. Caven, who was president of the
Real Estate Title Insurance and Trust
Company. the first corporation of its kind
organized in America was seemingly in
the best Of health when he retired on
Saturday night. In the afternoon he and
Mrs. Hansel had walked over the estate
at Haverford. and he had given instruc-
lions relative to the setting out Of some
shrubbery. 1t is said that Mr.. Caven suf
fered a slight apoplectic stroke while In
Jacksonville, Fla. about six weeks ago
He fell on the stairway of the hotel at
which he was staying and sprained his
ankle. He returned to this city Febru-
airy Is, and went to the Aldne. About
week ago he moved to his Haverford home.
1t was more than thirty years ago that
Mr.. Caven entered actively into politics in
this city, and in short time he became
a leader in the reform movements of that
period. Perhaps his greatest personal VIC
tory was his election as president of the
common council. succeeding A. Wilson
Henszey. his most bitter political opponent.
This victory also settled for the time be-
ing the ambition of John Bardsley then
chairman of the finance committee, to be-
come city treasurer. Later Bardsley
gained the goal only to be caught in al
legged crooked deals in this Office by the
then mayor now Gov. Stuart.

Indiana Man Offers His Ur-

Hammond, Ind, Sept. H.-By Of
fering his unborn infant for adoption
because he declares he would not be
able to provide for the little one
when 1t arrives, Lucas Campbell,
earning 800 month, has stirred
such a storm of indignation among
the mothers of this city that he and
his wife are preparing to seek a
home elsewhere
When Campbell realized that his
wife was to become a mother, he
inserted this advertisement in a local
paper:
FOR ADOPTION--Anyone desiring
to adopt a pure baby can do so by
paying all expenses. Al, arrange
ments must be made at once. Call at
631 South Holman street.
South Holman street being in the
fashionable part of Hammond, sew
eral women anxious to adopt baby
called at the Campbell residence and
were told they must wait ten days.
Finally Campbell disclosed the secret
by saying the baby was not born. The
news of this remarkable case spread
from home TO home. So many
threats have been made against the
Campbells that they have decided to
move.

A CHILD
Woman May Have Sacrificed
Her Life For the
Little One.

Camp Perry, o., Sept. A.-Saving
a child from death may cost the life
of Mrs. Charles X. Zimmerman, wife
|of Col Zimmerman of the Filth

a runaway horse dashed into crowd
at guard mount yesterday Mrs. Zim-
norman, in attempting to drag the
child from the animals path, was
knocked down. rib was frac-
tured and she suffered serious inter-
nal injuries.
A large crowd of men, women and
children had gathered to witness the
guard mount on the principal COM
pany street. The playing of the
band prevented either soldiers or cit
liens from hearing the frightened
cries of two children of Captain
Benjamin Duperow, Cleveland, regi-
mental quartermaster, who were be-
ing bumped along in buggy behind
the runaway, as 1t tore down the
street in the rear of the tents. The
hores had started at the end of the
company street anu turned lnJO Lne
depopulated thoroughfare
AS the animal swerved into an in
tersecting street, the buggy hit a
tent stake and one of the children
was thrown out. Before the crowd in
the company street could scatter, the
horse was upon it. In terror the
spectators ran in every direction.
At Mrs. Zimmerman's side stood
little girl. When the officers wife
saw the runaway, she quickly turned
grabbed the child and pushed her out
of the naimal's path. Before she
herself could jump aside, the horse
was upon her.
Bleeding and unconscious, Mrs.
zimmerman was picked up and car
ried into the officers tent. She re-
yiyed soon afterward under medical
treatment.
AS soon as she was able to be
moved the injured woman was con-
veyed by her husband to her home in
Cleveland.

AVERTED
Engineers Faith in a Dream
Prevented a Great
Disaster.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. Ia. =
Confidence in dream averted u
wreck on the Northern Central
railroad. Previous to- reporting for
duty at the roundhouse, Engineer
James b. Burd, who pulls the Buff
falo Flyer leaving Harrisburg at
1l:10 p. m. dreamed that his train
had run into landslide at point
between Dauphin and Halifax, 10
miles from here. He told his dream
TO several rundhouse attaches, but
they laughed at him.
Engineer Burd to ease his mind
determined to run slowly after pass
ing Dauphin. SO speeding his train
up to the limit till Dauphin was
passed, Burd slowed up. And it
was well he did, for at a point some
distance north of Dauphin identical
with the place he had seen in his
dream, the engine ploughed into a
landslide.
Going slowly, the engineer was
able to bring his train TO, a stop
with little or no damage.
