Before the end of the game came,
the wrangling became disgusting and
the pitchers of the visiting team, Hous-
ton and Hersche, threw good balls
away out of the park and over the
grandstand. Shoemaker permitted
players to stall him for further de-

the spectators, at that. The trick of

encountered every day in any league.

Denver papers vary on the destina-
ton of Ray Scanlon. Some say Towne
will make a Packer of him and others
say Rourke will turn him into an
Omahog. Scanlon caught but one for
Denver and that was the one wherein
Topeka knocked daylight out of the
Grizzlies, s to o.
Sioux City Journal: Leo Sage, Sioux
City's new pitcher, arrived yesterday
morning. A telegram from Manager
Towne orders him to report at Lincoln
Friday. In all probability he will be
called upon to work against the An
telopes. Sage comes from the Mime
apolis club, of the American associa-
ton. Last year he worked in fourteen
games and won half of them. He was
considered among the best twirlers of
the association. His wildness is re-
sponsible for his return to slower COM
pany. He should make valuable ad
dition to the Packer staff. At present
only three men have shown much
ability with the Champs. They are
Wilson, Walter Miller and Barber.
Fred Miller looked like the goods. but
Manager Towne wishes to dispose of
him.
Denver News: The great work of
the Denver pitchers in the past few
of the big league clubs have asked
about Casey Hagerman and yesterday
a letter received by Manager Hen
bricks from Clarke Griffith of Cincin-
natl asked for full details about Ben
Harris and Billy Kenworthy and re-
Quested first chance at buying them
at the close of the present season.
Manager Griffith pays Hendricks a
high compliment in the letter as he
virtually asks him to act as his repre-
sentative in securing these men, stat
ing that he considers his (HendricksD
judgment as fully competent in fixing
the value of young pitchers.
Cincinnati made two efforts to buy
Kenworthy from Boston last year be-
fore Manager Jack got him, as the
work of the Central Lacquer has at
tracted favorable comment through
out the baseball world. Ben Harris
however, may be regarded as strictly
one of Manager Hendricks finds, as he
was the .one who, first seeing Harris
ability, recommended his purchase to
President McGill of the Denver club.
In speaking of Schneider, Gr1fhth
leaves the impression that he will prob
ably let him go a little later on when
he gets his club running more smooth
ly. Denver's chances of getting Schrei-
Der back, by the way, are made lOV
per cent better by the fact that Grit

Mother Gives Child Away.

Hampton, July 3.-Curiosity and
excitement ran high on the excursion
train at Yemassee last night just be
fore it left for Augusta. The train
men from the excursion train run
ming from Savannah to Charleston
boarded the Augusta train in search
of woman who had purposeiy left
her little baby on the Charleston
train. The woman was found and
proclaimed her innocence, but after
being confronted with witnesses con-
fessed. A man from Augusta, hear
ing of the affair, asked that she give
him the child, as he was married and
had no children. The child, he said,
would fare well. He gave his name as
w. H. Emanuel, employed in cotton
mill. The woman, after giving away
the child, gave her name as Mamie
Maine from Fechtig, this county. She
claimed she could not support it. The
the babe, she said, was a girl named
Thelma, 10 months old. Her hus-
band had forsaken her some time
ago, she declared.

Governor Calls for Economy.

Nashville, Tenn, July 3.-ln a
special message to the Tennessee leg
islature this afternoon Gov. Hooper
told the two houses that unless the
appropriations in the general bill
passed Saturday were cut down he
would veto the bill and other pend
ing appropriations. The extravagant
appropriations, he declared, were
without precedent in the State and
he charged that there was DISPOSE
ton on the part of some of the legis-
lators to heap them up for political
effect. According to the governors
estimates the appropriations for the
next two years exceed by nearly a
million and a quarter dollars what
the revenues will be. One of the
severely condemned provisions of the
general appropriation bill is the $500
expense money for each legislator
and a total of s65,500. A storm is
being raised over the State about
this.
It was announced by comptroller's
Office to-day that Saturday, July l.,
being half holiday in New York,
the State would be safe in meeting
the interest on the State debt there
to-day, though the interest was due
on July 1.

Officer Killed Negro.

Charleston, July 2.-Police Officer
Mcdonald shot and killed John Ham
mond, negro, tonight as the latter
was violently resisting arrest on the
corner of Reid and Mary streets. The
officer shot only after the negro had
Officer Kellar on the ground, feeling
that it was necessary for the preser-
vation of the life of himself and Kel-
lar to use his weapon. 1t appears
the negro cut Officer Mcdonald last
September and made his escape.
Learning this afternoon that the
negro was in the city with a number
of excursionists, Mcdonald, accom-
panied by Kellar, hunted the negro,
and as Kellar laid hands on him the
negro who was of powerful build,
put up a vigorous resistance. He was
getting the better of the two police
men when Mcdonald used his pistol
with fatal effect. Mcdonald is in Gus
tody of the police department to-
night, awaiting the action of the
coroner's inquest.

She's q Bird.

From just a plain Bird, through
succession of cognomens Of the
feathered tribe, Mrs. Elizabeth Mar
tin, of Paris, KY, wha has been
visiting Warren county, has feather
ed her nest we'll, and holds probably
the most singular distinction of sur
names of any one on record.
She began as Elizabeth Bird in
Harrison, KY, and first ventured
from the home nest when she mar
ried Bob Martin. When Mr.. Martin
died she married Edward Crow, q
farmer. When the time came to
change nests she allied herself with
William Robin, and lived happy un-
til the matrimonial season of Mrs.
Robin again rolled along. Then
David Buzzard, widower, more at
tractive personally and socially than
his name would indicate, appeared
and Mrs. Robin became Mrs. BuzZard.
Into the Buzzard roost Mrs. Buz-
zard carried one little Martin, two
little Crows and spne little Robin.
One little Buzzard was already there
to welcome the other birds.-Ex-

Congressman Starts Marriage License
Business in Lexington.

Lexington, July 1.-The first per-,
son to secure a marriage license un-
der the act of the last legislature, in
Lexington county, was Congressman
A. F. Lever, who is to wed Miss
Lucille Scurry Butler, on next
Wednesday evening at o'clock: The
happy young congressman-for he
has been wearing a smile as broad as
it is long for the past few days-ap-
peared early at the office of Judge OF
Probate Drafts, but the veteran Of
ficer had gone to his farm, and it was
not until II o'clock that the first
license was issued. In the meantime
there were others who wanted to Sc
cure licenses, among them a negro
couple.
In the first announcement of the
coming marriage of Mr.. Lever and
Miss Butler, which appeared in this
correspondence yesterday it was stat
ed that the marriage would be sol
emnized at the home of the brides
father. This has since been changed
and the marriage will take place in
St. Stephens Lutheran church, and
while no formal invitations have been
issued, everybody IS invited.

SON FATALLY SHOOTS FATHER.
McCrae Kirkland Victim of Family
Quarrel in Kershaw County.

Camden, July 3.-McCrae Kirk
land, white, of the West Wateree sec
ton of this county, was killed by his
son, Willie Kirkland, early this morn
ing.
From what can be gathered it
seems that there was some family
trouble and Willie Kirkland was pro-
tecting his mother. 1t seems that
McCrae Kirkland attacked his wife
last night and forced her to leave
the house and stay outdoors all night.
She sought refuge at the house of a
neighbor, it is stated, and early this
morning, just after daybreak, Kirk
land drove over to the neighbor's and
called them all out, grabbed his wife
and threw her into the buggy, drew
a big knife and defied anybody to
hinder him in his actions. About
this time, it is said, Willie kirkland
came up and asked his father to re-
lease his mother; when his father re-
fused and threatened him, he sent
for his. pistol and again demanded
that his father release her, but again
his father refused; then Willie shot
him one time in the head, killing
him instantly.
It seems that the first time he pull
ed the trigger the pistol snapped:
cooking it again, he took careful
aim and fired the fatal shot. McCrae
kirkland bore a bad reputation and
was considered a dangerous man,
while his son is a very quiet young
man and is well thought of in this
section of the county. It does. not
appear that McCrae kirkland was in
toxicated, but was almost insane from
anger.

Convicted After Seventy Hours.

Columbus, Ohio, July 3.-Pending
motion for a new trial, Rodney j.
Diegle, sergeant-at-arms of the State
senate, convicted by jury to-day OF
having abetted the alleged bribery OF
State Senator L. R. Andrews, was ad-
mitted to bail in the sum of $4,000
this afternoon.
The verdict in the Diegle case, af-
ter the jury had been out since 4:30
o'clock Friday afternoon, came just
before noon to-day somewhat in the
nature of surprise as it was gener-
ally believed that the jurors were
hopelessly deadlocked.
The penalty for conviction under
the indictment is Imprisonment in
the penitentiary from one to five
years or fine of $500 or both. Die
gle's only comment on the verdict
was, "Well, I am glad the strain is
over.''

a period OF more than 200 years,
both counties are to-day dry and will
remain so for at least sone year.
Jefferson county was swung into
the dry column by the refusal of the
county court to grant license to any
one. At present there is not a "wet"
spot in West Virginia east of Graf

The saloons closed last night and
it is estimated that several thousand
gallons of whiskey, brandy, etc., were

WANT REVISION OF TARIFF
INSURGENT SENATORS Will ASH
FOR MORE.
Bristow Says He Will Fight to Re-

trOlled Products.

Washington, July 3.-That the in
surgent Republican senators will not
be satisfied with the passage of only
the wool REVISION and free list bills,
after the disposition of the Canadian
reciprocity bill, but will demand 9TH
er tariff legislation, was indicated to-
day in a statement by Senator Bris-
tow, of Kansas. Mr.. Bristow has had
a number of conferences with the
other Insurgents of the party regard
ing their programme.
He said he would never consent
to the adjournment Of congress Until
duties are reduced on trust con-
trolled products, naming cottons,
woolens, steel, sugar, lead, leather
rubber manufactures, etc. Amend.
ments making such reductions, he
would attach to the reciprocity bill.
Failing in that, he served notice that
"some of us will insist that bill or
bills be passed reducing the duties
on these articles before the adjourn
ment of the present session"
"Bills making these reductions,
he added, will pass if the Democrats
will vote for them. The amendments
we propose would not endanger the
reciprocity, while to refuse to amend
it probably would result in passing
the reciprocity measure and then the
failure of. the tariff bills that follow.
"The reciprocity bill, which l do
not consider effective as revision OF
the tariff, will pass probably by Au-
