l
 Cabinet Mantels for Negro Shacks Howard Streeter, a negro in the employ of the Byrum & Butcher Hardware store, was arrested and placed in the city jail on a charge of grand larceny. The negro had access to the warehouse of the firm where the fine mantles and doors were stored.
 | MT. Byrum in looking over the stock missed a number of mantles and glass doors. The police were notified and Off, cers Granger and Wiggans were detailed on the case.
 The officers succeeded in locating three mantles and one door In some negro houses and traced the sale of the mantles to Streeter.
 He had helped himself to the goods in the warehouse and had disposed of them at ridiculously low figures. One negro house worth about $25O was embellished with S35 mantle and a s22 50 glass door. The exact amount of property stolen has not been ascertained but will amount to several hundred dollars.
 The negroes who had purchased the fixtures were also arrested for receiving stolen property The negroes will be given a hearing this morning before Judge Low I cry.
 A Tie After Ten Innings One Of the most interesting and enthu- siastic games of ball since the inaugura- } tion of the Steel Plant league was played 4 yesterday afternoon between the blast furnaces and the mechanical department of the Tennessee company. The game went 10 innings and resulted in a tie, each i team scoring six runs. The extra inning was most sensational for after the furnace boys united the score, putting two runs across, the mechanicans tied 1t up again by annexing two runs themselves
 The features of the games so far as the players were concerned was home runs by Roberts and Inman, each bringing in
 an extra run.
 The real feature, however, was the --ting of the blast furnace cohorts, led
 by Superintendent Landgrebe, and that of the mechanical forces with General
 Master Mechanic Johos in the star role.

 posses the ehaste and choice vocabulary
 of the gentlemen aforesaid, or the Beau
 Brummel manner of exchanging com
 piments each to the other; they kept
 up a running fire of pointed remarks of
 the hot tamale' variety, and handed
 each other packages of viterperation
 that were not wrapped up all during g
 the game

 contest and rooted terrifically for their respective teams and favorites.
