AIchSDufS look 1nGee StFalSntS,
The DISCOVERIES concluded their
long stay at home with a series of
three games against Vicksburg on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and
viii take the road today, returning
with Blackburn's bunch to the Hill
City, where they open a series of
three games today. The Hill Billies
outclass the DISCOVERIES, and about
the only amusement local fans de-
rived from the engagement was fur
nished by Umpire Mackey Friday af-
ternoon. A treatment of oil of mus
tard puts the pigskin in such a CON
dition that no pitcher can throw the
celebrated ''spit' ball, and somebody
gave one of the balls in play Friday
afternoon a mustard bath. After
having handled the ball a few times
Mackey happened to put his fingers
to his mouth, and the smile which
usually bedecks his countenance gave
place to a look of pain. He said some
things which only those acquainted
with baseball parlance understood,
and requested Scorer B1uhm to bring
into play the muscles of his good
right arm in an effort to "cIoud" the
ball. The name Of the unscrupulous
gentleman who was so inconsiderate
of Umpire Mackey's feelings, or rath-
er his taste, as to subject the ball to
a treatment of oil of mustard has
not been learned. Many umpires

Contract Not Awarded.

The building committee of the
First Baptist church met yesterday
for the purpose of awarding the CON
tract for the new edifice which is
to be erected on North Seventh
street. Architect Hunt, who was ex-
pected to attend the meeting, was
unable to reach Columbus in time for
the meeting, so it was decided to
postpone the awarding of the con
tract until he can be here to advise
the committee in its action.

TELEGRAPH STRIKE
GROWS SERIOUS
OPERATORS. ARE STILL OUT AND
THERE SEEMS LITTLE HOPE
OF AN EARLY SETTLE
ATFET or STRIKE.


The telegraph operators strike IS
no nearer to a settlement than when
it began several weeks ago. The
strikers remain firm, and declare that
the only condition under which they
Will return to work is an uncondi-
uonaI surrender to their demands on
The part OF the Western Union and
Postal telegraph companies. These
demands include an increased wage
scale and an eight hour day, and stip-
uIate that all tyepwriters used in the
various Offices must be furnished by
the telegraph companies. Heretofore
the operators have been required 10
furnish their own typewriters, and
those who did not possess machines
were compelled to rent them, paying
five dollars per month rental for
each machine.
The newspapers have not been as
greatly disconnected by the strike as
the general public. The service of
the Associated Press has been greatly
crippled, but many of the leading
daiIies of the country have gone over
TO the Hearst syndicate, and are re-
ceiving full telegraphic reports each
day. Mr.. Hearst signed the union
scale more than year ago, and none
of the operators employed by him
have as yet gone out.
AS far as telegraphic eommunica-
tion with the outside world is con-
cerned, Columbus might as well be
off the map. The local Offices of both
the Western Union and Postal have
been closed ever since the strike be-
gan, and the only kilograms received
here are those that come by mail.
The principal wires in the local Of
fees run to Memphis, New Orleans
and Birmingham, and the operators
in these Offices are too busy to send
messages out TO the smaller cities,
even if there were any one here to
receive them. In the larger cities the
only men at work are the superin-
tendents, managers and chief opera
tors, and they are devoting all of
their time to the lines between relay
points.
The strike has come at most in
opportune time for the people in this
section, as the primary election oc-
Cured last Thursday, and the lack
of telegraphic communication be-
tween the different towns and cities
made it impossible to secure returns
with any degree of promptness. Then
too, the cotton season will soon open
up, and the inconvenience will be
greater then than ever before. Cot
ton brokers make liberal use of the
telegraph wires both in buying and
in obtaining quotations, and while
the brokers' wires, over which quo
tatfons are received, are still in oper-
alton. the inefficient service of the
commercial telegraph companies viii
be serious hamper to business
transactions.

NJ. NJ. Johnson. charging him with
having defrauded them of 5000 in a
mining deal involving the Manila
group of claims near Ely They de-
clare that they will not only sue him
for the money he got from them, but
that they will prosecute him on the
charge of fraud.
1t is claimed that Johnson, by false
representations, sold Richard and My.

claims he showed them other claims

to other parties, and then gave them a
title to the other property.
