Sammy Lever and Chick" Fra.
ser, two old pitchers, started the sea-
son with a shut out each.
Pitcher Mathewson, of the New
York Nationals, looks to be as good as
he ever was in his career as a pitcher.
McQuillin, of the PHILADELPHIA Ma
tionals, is a right-handed pitcher. but
is developing a very puzzling cross
fire.
Williams, who was traded by New
York to st. Louis, has batted in more
runs for the st. Louis American Club
than any player of the team.
Seymour and Shannon are not hit
ting for the New York Nationals as
they should and will.
The Boston Nationals wear red
caps this year, and it is impossible to
tell whether Beaumont has one on or
is bareheaded.
1t would be hard to convince
Brooklynites and New Workers that
McCloskey, of st. Louis, did not make
a tremendous managerial bluuder
when he let Burch go.

the Brooklyns. has q find to ali

HARRY THAW OUT OF ASYLUM
Justice Will Hear SIayer's Side in
Poughkeepsie.
Meantime Whites Murderer Rests in
Very Snug Quarters in the
Duchess County Jail.

Poughkepsie, N. Y.-The hearing
on the writ of habeas corpus sued out
for the purpose of getting Harry X.
Thaw out of the Asylum for Criminal
Insane at Matteawan was begun here,
and almost as soon as begun was ad-
iourned for a week in order to give
District Attorney Jerome a chance to
get into the case in person. Assistant
District Attorney Garvan represented
Mr.. Jerome and stated that he was on
hand for the purpose, if possible, OF
getting the hearing switched to New
York County. District Attorney
Mack, of Dutchess County, helped Mr..
Garvan argue for a r~elegation to New
York, and James G. Graham, Thaws
new counsel, opposed their motion
with vehemence on the frank ground
that he didn't want any more Centre
street justice for his client.
Ultimately the bone of contention
was divided by Justice Morschauser
agreeing to go down to New York and
hear the witnesses on Mr.. ~Jerome's
side of the case and in the meantime
sit in Poughkeeepsie and hear Thaw's
witnesses.
Thaw, in a neat new suit and look
ing as fit as an athlete, sat in the
court room and chatted cheerfully
with his counsel and friends. None
of his immediate relatives was in
court.
Mr.. Caravan said the hearing on the
writ would take a month and cost
$4,000, if not more. Not only, he
said, would that be a stiff figure for
Duchess County which, he under
stood, only had about $4,000 a year
to disburse on court and jury charges,
but moreover if the court let this pro-
ceeding get before it there would be
established a bad and expensive prece-
dent.
I'VE expect to send commissions
to Pittsburg, Paris, Rome, Monte
Carlo and London. 1t will cost a lot
of money" said Mr.. Caravan.
"Mr. Graham" said the Justice,
"how about hearing Mr.. Jerome's wit
nesses in New York? 1 have to have
your consent. I'll hear all your side
up here, and go down to New York
afterward. Do you agree?"
Mr.. Graham agreed, and Mr.. Gar
a asked an adjournment, so that
Mr.. Jerome could be on hand. He got
it and the days proceedings closed.
Thaw was taken upstairs to Sheriff
Robert w. Chambers official apart
ments in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Townsend. The apartments have all
the comforts of home, including twin
beds for Thaw and Townsend, a por-
celain bath and a punching bag. Thaw
grinned when he saw the place and
said it would do nicely for the short
time that he believes he will have to
remain a prisoner.

Another lady, who had been trou-

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on cur Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muf, of SIS NC. st,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women 1 am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what 1 suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
1 followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muf,
it will do for other suffering women.

NMAN 8 CO. FAIL
OWING sl,250,000
Inability to Sell Spot Cotton
Causes Bankruptcy.
INMAKs WIDOW WITHDREW
J. r. Gray, Owner of Atlanta Jour-
nal, One of the Partners in This
Well Known Firm of Augusta
(Ga.) Brokers-May Resume.

Atlanta, Ga.-The firm of Inman
s. Co., cotton brokers of Augusta,
with wide connections, went into the
hands of a receiver. The liabilities
are said to be about ~$1,250,000, and
the assets in excess of that amount.
The long-continued depression in the
cotton market and consequent failure
of the firm to dispose of its spot cot
ton, Is given as the cause of the fail
ure.
Walker P. Inman was formerly
head of the firm. After his death
last November his widow withdrew
present firm are James F. MCGOWAN,
of Augusta, and James r. Gray, own
er and editor of the Atlanta Journal.
Mr.. Gray is a son-in-law of the late
Mr.. Inman.
The petition in involuntary bank
ruptcy was filed in the United States
Court by attorneys for the Atlantic
Compress Company, the Gulf Com
press Company, J. c. Evans and G.
r. Sims, creditors for sums ranging
from $500 to $1,000. T. w. Bar
rett, Jr., of Augusta, was made re-
ceiver.
Mr.. Gray explained that the firm
had prevailed upon the creditors to
hold off until every possible means
was exhausted. The firm was ready
to cooperate for an economical ad-
ministration of its affairs.
Mr.. Inman always Endorsed 1iber-
oI1xy g. &hs- G~-1 o-I 1o,k - &hO ELL
strength of his great credit. His
death last November has rendered it
impossible for the firm to have the
benefit of this powerful assistance.
There has been no speculation on the
part of the firm or either member,
and the embarrassment grows solely
out of the depression in the cotton
market and cotton contracts for act
ual delivery to the mills and consum-
ers. The mills have practically quit
buying cotton, and have left the firm
In a position where they have been
unable to dispose of their enormous
holdings at anything like a fair figure.
1t is believed that with economical
handling of the assets the creditors
will be paid in full. 1t is difficult to
say just how the firm stands, as the
fluctuations in the market affect the
assets.
F. A. Toole is the manager of the
New York office of Inman & Co. in
the Cotton Exchange Building. He
said that he knew nothing regarding
the bringing of bankruptcy proceed
ings, and that he had had no advices
on the subject up to the time he left
the office for the day. Being told
that the advices from the South gave
the inability of the firm to realize on
its spot cotton as the chief reason for
the firms embarrassment, Mr.. Toole
said that from what he knew of the
situation he would regard that as the
only reason for the failure.
The name of Inman has been prom
inently identified with the spot cotton
market for nearly half a century.

Surplus Reaches Greatest Total in

Chicago.-A startling decline in
railroad traffic in April is shown in
the bi-weekly statement of car sur
pluses and shortages issued by the
the Car Efficiency Committee of the
American Railway Association. The
statement, which is regarded as an ex-
cellent business barometer, portrays
conditions up to April Is on 153 rail-
roads of the United States and Can
ada.
During the fortnight following
April 1 the number of idle cars sud-
denly mounted from 307,507 to 1885,
ITO, the greatest total in the history
of American railroads. The figures
bear out the statements of railroad
men that during the month of April
business conditions have been at a
lower ebb than at any time during
the panic. The highest previous sur
plus figure was on February 5, when
it reached what was then considered
the immense total of 343,92S.
