BOARDERS IN JAIL ARE
REDUCED TO SEVEN
New Trials in Several
Gases Asked.

There are not more than half
dozen dodgers at Castle Sumter, a
minimum number for the holiday sea-
son, and some of these will remain
with Host Fuller for some time
yet pending motions for new trials.
L. G. Joiner, the convicted forger,
sentenced to five years in the peni-
Tertiary, is still there, as his attor-
neys will probably institute other
proceedings in his behalf Sophia
Catchings, the negress sentenced to
life imprisonment for murder, is also
in Jail yet, as her counsel will file
motion for new trial. Bill Clements
twice convicted of burglary and SEN
fenced last week to five years in the
penitentiary, is out on bond, Mr.. j.
W. SILVER being his surety for
$500 pending motion for still another
trial Two negroes who received
changing sentences last week will
be sent out to the gang, if they are
not there already.

PUTTING On THE LID

Putting the Sunday lid on in wide
open towns is getting very popular.
Chicago led the way, then came New
York. Next Sunday Omaha is going
to try a closed Sunday The effort of
the officials seems to be to enforce
the law so strictly against all classes
of business that the people will re-
peal them. What is more probable is
that the Sunday laws will be slightly
modified, and when the officers claim
inability to enforce they they will
be referred to their good work be-
fore the laws were amended The
enforcement scheme is liable to be a
boomerang for the officers who seek
to have the law repealed by giving a
sample of tight Sunday It's bad
time just now to try such tricks.

ARE GAGGED BY FUMES
OF GAS IN Jill
Prisoners Are Almost As
phyxidted.

Aroused by gas pouring from a
broken pipe, prisoner on the sec
ond floor of the county Jail gave the
alarm at an early hour yesterday
morning and thereby probably saved
himself and other inmates from as
phyxiation. 1t is said that the break
was located in the cell occupied by
L. G. Joiner, and some time was re-
quired in opening windows and
freeing the building from escaping
gas. In Joiner's cage is small gas
stove, connected with the pipes by a
long rubber tube, which, in some way,
became disconnected and thus al
lowed the poisonous fluid to flood the
upper corridar. Had not the acct
dent been discovered in time some of
the prisoners might have succurlbed
to the deadly fumes.

Christmas Goods Swiped
by Dogs.

When Mr. W. B. Heys went out yes
terday morning to admire as usual his
drove of fat Christmas gobblers his
feathers fell, as had those of the
turks during the preceding night.
Dead gobblers, big fellows weighing
20 pounds and more, lay about the
barnyard, while among the feathered
wreck lay a fat but mutilated piglet
as well. The destruction of hog and
turkeys was laid to dogs which got
into the barnyard during the night,
killing five fine, fat Christmas tur-
keys and a pig as well.

Moving South.
CAtlan-a Journal. 29th)

Owing to the unusual wide-awake-
ness that is being displayed by
''Eeggmen" in other portions of the
country, the Pinkerton Detective
agency has warned the banks in this
section to keep their eyes skinned for
suspicious characters and to exercise
uncommon altertness.
Dark, stormy nights are especially
cited as times for care, and it is point
ed out that harmless looking ped
dlers, who shove greasy bills at the
paying teller to be changed into
dimes and nickels, are really the ad-
vance agents of ''yeggmen" bands and
all the while using their eyes to good
advantage in finding out the position
of the bank vault, of what make it
is, and other information that might
come in handy.
Following is a portion of the circu-
lar that the PjnkertOn agency is send
ing throughout the South:

THE CALIFORNIA
TEAM TO COME

The coming of the baseball team
from the Coast may be looked upon
as decided. Yesterday morning the
trustees of the Honolulu Baseball
League held a meeting and decided
that the proposition as agreed on
between the directors of the League
and Jess Woods of the Hotel Baths
was satisfactory. They proceeded to
ratify the latter sent to Woods by
Secretary Frank Thompson and WOODS
was at once notified of their action.
He agreed to conform to the PROPOSE
tion which had been made to him by
the League and after this had been
done wrote to ''Mique" Fisher stating
that everything on this end had been
arranged.
1t has been announced that the
seats will be placed on sale for the
regular games at % cents for the
bleachers, 80 cents for the regular seats
in the grandstand, IS cents for the
reserved seats, in the center of the
grandstand, and 81 TOR JAe boxes. There
will be season tickets placed on sale
before the team comes down here In
Drder that part of the expense money
may be paid. that is the steamer fares,
etc, when the team arrives here. There
is little doubt of the fact that these
season tickets viii be rapidly taken
up by the baseball lovers in the city,
who will be able in this way to get
regular seats and the best that can
be had in advance.
The matter of picking the players
who will form the All-Hawaii team has
been left to Woods entirely. 1t is pos
sible that some of the players, think
ing that they will be needed, may try
to hold out for money for the games.
That matter viii be up to Woods en-
tirely but unless it is found that he
is going to make a barrel of money on
the series, which does not seem likely
at present, it is doubtful if he will
be able to give much if any.
The players from the Coast are COM
ing down here to play simply for the
trip, as it is understood here, and it
would seem strange if professional ball
players should play for nothing while
amateurs should demand pay. The ex-
penses of the trip will be so heavy
that there will probably not be very
much left for anyone outside of the
hotels and steamship companies.

BREAK RECORD
FOR LONG GAME

Chronicle.-The worlds record for
the number of innings played in a
baseball game was made at Columbus,
Ohio, between the Heinz Victors and
the Columbus Selects, two amateur
teams. They played for three hours
and fifty minutes, thirty-six innings,
and only because the players were ex-
hausted was the game called, the score
standing TO 2.
The Victors made one tally in the
fifth inning and were tied in the sew
enth by the Selects. For twenty-four
straight innings there was not score.
when each made one. For the re-
mainder of the game there was not a
run, and it was necessary to put an
end to the interesting contest. Decker,
one of the Victors, famed twenty men,
and Robbins of the Selects nineteen.
Only eight hits were made by each
side, while the Selects had seven err
rors and the victors five. Each pitch
er worked the entire game through
and when 1t was ended it was almost
necessary TO carry them from the field
because of their fatigued condition.
On July 4th, at Cleveland, two ANA
teur clubs played a thirty-inning
game.
