Of the denial by Senator Stephen B..

condition is critical, the belief is grow
ing that it is. At Hall-Cnurst, the

he is still unable to see members Of the

secretary, Col. Fred Snyder, conyinces
the senator's anxious friends over the
state that he has nothing encouraging

is no reply except tnat his condition Is

doors indefinitely. They belong to the
Garner estate, members ofwhich are in

0Verrules Demurrer.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 20.-Federal
Judge has oyerruled demurrer going
to the root OF the general action now
pending in the jamestown Exposition
litigation by which the exposition re-
ceivers are suing to recover on many
delinquent stock subscriptions. The
demurrer was to the effect that the bill
could not stand as against defendants,
because it did dot recite that before the
jamestown Exposition Company ever
became a corporation under the law OF
Virginia it was necessary that it have
before January 1, 1904, as much as
100000 in stock subscriptions,
"collectible in law" and that il the
bill did recite this, it was incumbent
upon the plaintiffs to prove that the
company did not have before January
1, 1904, as much as $1,000, 900 in
stock subscriptions, "collectible in
law. -

THERE is at least one member OF the
Manufacturers Club in Philadelphia
who has observed the fat-frylng process
campaign after campaign to some pur-
pose. When the club created a com
mittee to "hold up" all the protected
interests in that city for money to use
in efforts to elect republicans to Con-
gress, Herman Loeb said: 1T seems to
me that the tariff is entirely too often
used rs a club held over the manuiactur-
ers and the business mans head to force
money from him." The Record Of
that city says: There are other and
still baser uses to which the tariff has
been put, and Mr.. Loeb referred to
them when he shocked his fellow-club-
men by asking whether the existence OF
the party was more important than the
character OF the men composing the
party. A good many rascals have been
trading on the party name.

Reward for John Moore.

Livingston, Va, Oct % Failing
TO receive news Of the lynching of
John Moore, convicted slayer of Frank
Howell, and sentenced to the electric
chair. who was taken from the Jail
here Friday morning, Sheriff Bates
admitted that he was convinced that
the mob OF rs mountaineers who
overpowered the guards and got pos
session OF the murderers, were friend
instead of enraged mobbers. With Gov.
Mann styling the delivery Of the CON
victed prisoner as an out rage against
the dignity of the commonwealth and
an act of anarchy which shall never
be condoned by me-" Infatuated citi-
Gems and country folk for miles around
excoriating him for permitting the
delivery, and reiterated statements
that Moore has been spirited out OF
the state by the mountaineers, Sheriff
Estes is making every efforts to follow
the trial left by the rescuers. be has
deputized several score citizens, all
mounted and armed, to assist in try
ing to capture the murderer and his
deliverers.
A pitched battle between the sheriff's
pose and the mountaineers will un-
doubtedIy result il the two parties meet.
Sheriff Estes said today his party had
penetrated the woods and underbush,
and searched many mountain cabins,
but found no trace Of the fleeing party.
He is confident, however, that the
party will be located and expects blood
shed, because all the mountaineers
we're armed when they rescued Moore.
Governor Mann has offered reward Of
$500 for the capture OF Moore, and
Nelson county has offered 500. The
chief executive said he would not call
out the militia, unless he found it
necessary.

GIANTS WIN POST SEASON SERIES

Christopher Mathewson occupied the
box for the Giants at the Polo Grounds
in New York yesterday, and because
of his steady pitching McGraw's men
not only defeated the Highlanders by 6
to 3, but also captured the deciding
game in the last post-season series.
Mathewson, therefore. scored his fourth
victory. He pitched and won three
whole games, and saved his team from
possible defeat when he came TO the
rescue of young Drucke in another
contest. A home run by Capt. Doyle,
with two runners on the bags in the
third inning, helped to defeat the
American Leaguers, while errors by
Chase, Knight, and Hemphill were re-
sponsible for the other runs scored by
the Giants. As the series resulted. the
teams played seven games, one a draw,
four of which were at the Polo Grounds
and three at the Hilltop.

TODAY'S BASEBALL GAME.

Chicago. Oct. 22.-At $50 this morn
ing the umpires who will serve in to-
days game made an. inspection OF the
diamond and found that the wind OF
the early morning Had dried it out in
splendid style. They then issued a
formal announcement that the fourth
game of the worlds championship
series would be called at 2 p. m. today.
The weather made good today and
the game which will either give the
Athletics the worlds baseball cham
pionship or will restore Chicago to the
baseball map will be played at the
West Side park at 2 O'Clock this after
noon. The opposing batteries will in
all probability be Bender and Thomas
for the Mackmen, and Cole and King
for the Cubs. There is no denying
that yesterdays rain was shower OF
blessing for the Cubs and Cub rooters.
1t served to revive the badly blighted
and fast whitening hopes OF Chicago
fandom and with the appearance OF the
sun this morning things took on much
more rosy hue from the viewpoint Of
the few remaining Loyalty hopeful Chi
cago fans. The announcement in the
morning papers that Manager Chance
had abandoned his intention to try
Brown again and would trot out old
King" Cole, struck popular note.
The player is a dead one, long hive
the PLAYER, us very good in tanning cir
Giles. Brown, the idol of former years,
was smashed at Philadelphia. Now he
is reIegated and the bugs are willing to
bestow their huzzahs on any new idol
(uncracked) that may be set up. The
prospects are that by tonight King
Cole will be getting a very royal recep-
ton, or he will be doing Portuguese
duck a la Manuel.
Bender's selection for the job oil
making it four straights for the Athletics
is not certainty, though, it is very
probable. Manager Mack, is however,
dangling Coombs before the eyes OF the
Cubs as a boyle, and it will take the
warming up before the game TO deter
mine which OF the pair will mount the
mound. II Bender is right, he will
get the job, but should his scalpine
arm fail him it will be up to Coombs
TO 90 TO the relief.
