gas Harry Firstbrook, manager of the
Bessemer Gas company, states that an ex-
plosion with the city gas was impossible.

called in before the matter is settled

Ressemer Defeated

Bessemer played the Avondale Cotton
mill team this afternoon and lost by the
score of to l. The defeat was due to
the lack of ginger of the local boys and
their inability to connect with the Cotton
mill twirler. Fancher pitched the game
for Bessemer, but could not find the
plate. This is his first game this season
and he was a little stiff. The defeat came
as a surprise to the local fans, as they
expected to win hands down. The fea-
ture of the game was the catching of
Keeling. The opposing players were I'M
able to pilfer single bag. although num-
erous attempts were made.

 He pointed out that every club nad agreed to uphold the limit, and that .ef- forts to prevent the president from car rying out the drastic legislation were CT forts to evade certain provisions.
 He urged a holy regard for salary and all other limits, and the wiley Pehcan, all during the session, pointed out plans that might be resorted to in case or the adoption of certain legislation in an at-

Huge gates had been erected at the entrances to Broad street station and no person was allowed to reach the train floor who did not have railroad ticket. Not to be outdone by this piece of strategy, hundreds of ardent ad- mirers lined up at the winows and pur- chased tickets to nearby stations, thereby crowding the big station to overiowing.
 A hurry call was sent to nearby police stations and about 300 police were soon on the scene and kept the crowd back from the entrances.
