Herewith are presented the work of

The big surprise Of the intersectional

them an average Of ia away from home
and boosted them from fourth to second

and losing seven. Still, with the good
start il got against the other Western
teams. Detroit was able 20 offset the
tremendous advances made by st. Louis,
and the Athletics and retain its present
position on the top round, where it is
three games ahead Of the Athletics.
Boston and New York.
Boston's youngsters did not give as
many indications of blowing Up as were
counted upon, and they came home with
a majority of their games, winning
seven and losing six. They dropped
from third TO fourth. but did mighty
well. all other things considered. and
are stin pest 10 the critics and the
other teams.
The New York papers have gone crazy
about the New York American team
since the Giants have been faring so
badly. but the Yankees only turned of
an even $50 in the West, landing six
and dropping six. That forced them
from second TO third. but they deserve
a lot of credit at that. for It is prac-
ticallv new team.

Killed BY a Splinter.

Atlanta.-George Clark, an employee
of the Willingham-Tift Lumber Com
pany, was killed by a large splinter
flying from beneath large rip saw
and penetrating his abdomen. Clark
was operating large circular saw
when a large splinter was torn from
the lumber which he was saving and
thrown toward him with great veloc-
ity, striking him in the abdomen.
Although the splinter did not pene-
trate the flesh more than two inches,
it severed a large artery from which
the blood flowed at a rate that caused
his death in less than half hour

BoLDEsT BANDIT YET.
Single Handed He HclGs Up Crowded
Express Train


Express Train.
Harrisburg, PA lone bandit
masked and armed, held up the
Pittsburg express on the Pennsylva
MIA railroad in Lewistown Narrows
So miles west of here, wounding Con
ductor A. A. Poffenberger.
Although there was $4,000 in bul
lion in the express car, it is believed
that the robber secured only a small
sum.
The hold-up was carried out in the
most dramatic manner by the desper
ado, the spot selected being a wilo
cut in the mountains.
The explosion of a dynamite car
placed on the rail caused the engineer
of the long express, crowded with pas
sengers, to apply the emergency
brakes. When the train came to
standstill the bandit, masked and heav
lily armed, stepped from a clump OF
bushes and proceeded to terrorize the
train crew and passengers by firing
his weapons.
The bandit then worked his own
sweet will, it seems. The express safe
was even tumbled out, but the bandit
disappeared before dynamiting it, as
officers were notified and were press
ing close upon his heels.
The easy manner of the hold-up Is
believed to have been due to the fact
that everyone believed that the ROB
Der was backed up by several com
radeS.

Sensational Developments In Murder
Case at Newport, Tenn.
Knoxville, Tenn.-That John H.
Spencer, accused of completely in the
murder of A. J. Slagle, the lumber
man, at Bridgeport. recently, did not
commit suicide, but was lynched, is
the theory advanced by some persons.
The body, buried at Jonesboro, will
be exhumed. The investigation start
ed from an examination of Spencer's
body, which shows marks of violence
on the neck. 1t is believed that
Spencer was taken by a number of
Jonesboro men from the home of his
victim, Slagle, where he spent the
night, who strung him up, in the hope
of exhorting a confession from him;
that they allowed him to hang too
long, and that they had a dead man
on their hands when he was cut
down. Newport is even more excited
over the latest development than it
was over the Slagle murder.

NO PARDON FOR PHARR.

Governor Brown Turns Down Prison
Commissions Finding.
Atlanta-GovernOr Brown has re-
fused to pardon or commute the SEN
tence of Olin Pharr, former cashier
of the Citizens bank, of McRae, Ga,
who is serving a four years sentence
for embezzlement of $4,000, although
the clemency has been recommended
by the prison commission.
Strong personal appeals by the
friends of Pharr have also been made
to the governor in behalf of the con-
victed man, but the governor believes
it would not be the part of wisdom
to interfere in the sentence, and so
Pharr very likely will have to serve
out the full term for which he was
sentenced to the penitentiary.

Chattanooga, Tenn.-Judge T. M.
Mcconnell, chancellor, has decided
that the liquor sales act passed by
the last legislature is valid, with the
exception of the clause preventing the
shipment of liquor by dealers to
points outside the state, which would
be an interference with the regula-
ton of interstate commerce.
In other respects, the application
for an injunction brought by J. M.

held to have been the intention Of
the legislature to prohibit both whole
sale and retail sales in the state.

Under a decision rendered by AT

PELLAGRA SPREADING.
Several Cases of the Disease Reported
From North Carolina.

Durham, N. C.-Alarmed by the
number of cases of pellagra which
have developed in this city, local ply
sicians have begun experiments to To-
cate the origin of the disease. Six
deaths from pellagra have occurred in
this section.
An examination of the blood of a
powerful negro, who has the disease
in most aggravated form, revealed a
distinct organism.
If a germ is found, as physicians
here are inclined to believe, some
animal will be inoculated and cam
paign against pellagra upon the germ
theory will be waged The theory that
the disease has it's origin in corn
practically has been abandoned by To-
cal medical men. but a fierce war
against the importation of western
corn is being conducted.
