Three Persons Dead and Several In.
iured In the South.

Memphis, Tenn. May 7.-Three per
sons dead, several others injured, con-
siderable property loss and democrat
ization of traffic resulted from the
storm Of wind and rain which swept
over southern Arkansas, western Ten
nessee and Mississippi. The wind,
which attained almost the proportions
OF tornado, RACED number of small
buildings and tangled telegraph and
telephone wires, while the rain, which
was the heaviest reported in years,
caused numerous wash-outs along the
lines of the different railroads, delay
ing traffic besides causing other
damage. The greatest damage and
the loss of life occurred in Arkansas.
At Marche, the Polish settlement was
badly damaged and John Lukasse-
wicz and an unidentified man were
killed, Venceslaus Sczczepaiank sus-
tanned injuries which will probably re-

Night Clerks Prompt Action Saves
Hosiery and Town.

Flaxton, N. D., May 9.-About ~
o'clock at night some person saturat-
ed the walls and floor of the kitchen
at the Stevens house with kerosene
and set fire to the oil. The night
clerk discovered the blaze and extin-
kuished it before much damage was
done to the building. The rooms in
the upper part of the building were all
occupied and one woman was made
unconscious by the fumes from the
burning oil. A high wind prevailed
at the time and but for the prompt
action of the clerk the whole business
portion of Flaxton might have been
burned. No arrests have been made,
although two persons are under sur
Vigilance. A reward of $3.50 is offered
for evidence leading to conviction.

sands of Pittsburg business men and

released ON a $4,000 bond.
Montgomery admitted he had taken
. large sum of money from the bank,
and declared he did not have penny
of it left. All, he said, with his own
fortune, estimated at 100000, is
gone. Montgomery claims he advanced
large sums to spectators without the
knowledge Of the other officials of the
bank
When he demanded the return of
the money, he said, the spectators,
caught by hard times, were unable to
return it. Who the spectators are
Montgomery would not say.
Montgomery had been with the Al

boy. For almost 20 years he has been
cashier For q quarter of a century

La Porte, Ind, May 1.-The con-
INES of the Guinness farm, still laden
with the gruesome evidence of one
of the greatest. murder mysteries OF
modern times, yesterday rang with
tho laughter of little children, the
quips and jests of country SWANS and
swesthearts, the jargon of postcard
''street men" and tho loud disputa-
tions of souvenir hunters.
It 10 estimated that ut least 1000
people poured into La Porte on special
excursion trains, interurban cars, auto
mobiles and all sorts of smaller vehi-
oles to attend an organised feast Of
the morbid and curious, beloved to be
without parallel in the United States.
Had an admission fee of SO cents q

might easily have been raised to de-
fray the expenses of employing an
additional corps of detectives to work
on the case. To have done 20 would
not materially have increased the

THE DIAMOND
CLOSE RUB FOR
 THE BIG CHAPS
Independents Give Waterbury , Good Scare Results of All
 the Games.

Waterbury can thank Herman Schincel ill the first place and some bad misplays in the second place for the victory over the Independents yesterday afternoon out at Reidville. Johnny Moran was on the firing line for the Independents and he had the professionals tied to the back stop i'll all but one inning. Waterbury scored in just that one inning too, the fourth when five runs were nhalked up. most ly through errors by the Independents and a bad decision of Schincel's at the plate, when he allowed Cooney Rice to score, after the latter had taken all the territory around the home plate to get away from the catcher. On balls and strikes, too,
 Moran got bit the worst of it and you can't blame Herman any either, for it would not look just right to have his comrades beaten by a team of amateurs. Fast double plays by
 Moran, Mulligan and F. Henebry
 and by Henebry, Campion and Null ligan and again by Henebry and
 Campion were features of the game. Waterbury scored all her runs in
 the fourth inning in this way. Single ton knocked fly out to left field,
 which Lawlor let get away from him and Danny took third on the misplay. Rice scored Singleton with a single. Lein beat the bunt and Mike Slavin's bad throw to first let Rice score, | after he had taken a circle around the catcher. Len went to second but
 was caught between the bases. when
 Bastian hit to the pitcher. Bastian
 went to second on the out and came home on Captain Fitzpatricks single. FitZy swiped the second station and
 Swander took three strikes for an out.
 Lachance hit to Henebry, who threw over Mulligan's head and FitZy
 scored Big George went down to second on Henebry's error and came | home when Kelly hit to center and l..
 Henebry fell all over it. Kelly died at third on Noonan's throw to Hene- bry. After that inning Moran held the professionals well in hand and there was nothing doing in the SCOT | ing line.
 Two runs made by the Indepen- dents came in the seventh inning. I Slavin drove a safe one by short and
 Moran went out to Lucia. Lawlor
 drove out two sacker and Slavin
 rested on third. l.. Henebry hit to Bastlan. who fumbled and Slavin
 scored but Henebry was nailed at
 first Campion banged one at Single
 ton, who made mess of it and Law
 Tor scored. F. Henebry ended the in-
 ming by flying out to Singleton. That was all in the scoring line. The

 Louis Lepine. dropped by Holy oke has been signed by Waterbury. A change of climate may do him a world of good.
 Report has it that discharge pa- pers are already signed for several of the locals. The plank has been nicely oiled for an easy exit.
 Manager Paige of the New Brit ain baseball nine has announced that he has signed Harry Long, pitcher, secured from the New Haven team and formerly with New London.
 The Independents need not feel ashamed of the showing that was made at Rockville yesterday. Things broke badly just one inning, which was lucky for Captain Fitzy and his bunch.
 The schedule of games for the Washington Hills and Hamilton Parks in the first game and the Brooklyns and St Josephs in the sec- ond. There will be two hot games that ought to attract the attention of the fans.
 My but the New Haven sporting writers are a sore lot to-day. The management forgot 10 tell them that the game scheduled for yester- day at Savin Rock was played here one week ago Sunday and they were there with their books and pencils ready to record another defeat but they were sadly disappointed.
 The managers of the City league were agreeably surprised last even ing when they were informed by their president that John R. Clay ton, the Bank street ieweler had pre- sented them with a beautiful cup to be battled for this season. The managers gave Mir Clayton unani- nous vote of thanks.
 Umpire Rorty yesterday received permission from Chief Kennedy to umpire a game for Amherst college at Amherst on Friday. Merrick. the league substitute will take Rorty's place. Amherst wants Rorty for four games but 1t Is not known If the chief will allow him to be away for such a long time.
 The game scheduled in New Haven yesterday with Waterbury was play ed a week ago last Sunday in Water bury. Notwithstanding this one of the New Haven papers last evening said the game would be played yes terday and even told who was going to pitch for the White Wings Tn fact. it had everything except the batting order.
