Yesterday— Fait Running; on the Turf.
Macon, Ga., June 4.—Willis sparks,
President of the Macon Base Ball Asso
ciation. and G. R. Bibley. President of the
Augusta association, the com hi it tee ap
pointed to investigate the charges made
by Columbus against Memphis, met this
morning. Much voluminous and con
vincing testimony in the shape of affida
vits were submitted, and the committee
telegraphed a recommendation to Presi
dent Grady that the Memphis
club should be immediately expelled
from the Southern League and Savannah
given the vacant place. The gist of the
charges against Memphis by Columbus
nr* -unbodied in an affidavit by Fitzgerald
. ( Savannah, before-Justice of the Peace
Molina, alleging that on the recent visit
of the Columbus Club to Mem
uhis beer and whisky was sold
in the grand stand, that people >*e
earae drunk, that lewd women were al
lowed In tb‘- grand stand,and that the vis
itors were cursed and booted by the audi
ence. The complaints against the deliv
cry of the Memphis pitcher, together with
the arranzernent of the pitcher's box, and
other defects, were disregarded, and every
rule adopted by the Southern League di
rectors grossly violated. A dldavits simi
lar to the above were also received from
Atlanta and other places. There is no
doubt that Memphis wiil be immediately
expelled.
The score by innings of the game to-day
was as follows:

Atlanta, .Tune 4.—To-day Willis
Sparks, President of the Macon Base Ball
( lull, and George H. Sibley. President of
the Augusta club, two of the committee
appointed to Investigate the charges
against the Memphis club, met in Macon.
A great deal of testimony was introduced.
Fitzgerald, of Savannah, was the most
damaging witness.
Messrs. Sibley and Sparks agreed to re
port in favor of the expulsion of Memphis
and the selection of Savannah to fill the
vacancy. They forwarded the evidence
to 'Valter Brown, of Atlanta, the other
member of the committee, who will con
aider it to-morrow. There ia little doubt
ot a unanimous report against Memphis
and in favor o: Savannah.
Anew schedule will be arranged (his
week, and Savannah will probably play
her first series of games at home. There
is not the slightest doubt that the season
will oj*n in Savan-ah on Monday next,
w hen Nashville will jday there, Tbenew
arrangement will probably he con
summated to-day at a meeting in this city.
BLAMING THE UMPIRE.
Chattanooga, Tenn., -June 4. To
day’s came between Atlanta and CUatta
no'.ga was won by the former by a score
of to 6. The game was lost by the Cbat
tanoogas by the palpably anfair decisions
of Umpire McOue. He gave three de
cisions, whica were clearly unfair,
and gave the game to ’ Atlanta.
On the sixth inning the score stood Chat
tanooga 6 and Atlanta 2, and Mct.'ue then
got in his work and every opportunity
that offered he gave the Atlantas the
advantage. He was hissed and at times
in danger of assault, the crowd being so
worked up by his unfairness.
Burned runs—Chattanooga AtlantaO.
Eight base hits were made off Bauer and 10
off Hart.
Chattanooga had 6 errors and Atlanta 4.
Struck out—Hurt 2, Bauer 13.
MEMPHIS TERRIBLY BEATEN.
Memphis, Tk.nn., June 4. A large
crowd was at the park to-day tA see the
•eeond game between Memphis and Nash
ville. Corrigan anil Nash occupied the
points for Memphis, while Voss and Marr
acted for Nashville. The game was a
very floor me, Nash being knocked almost
out of his box, while Voss struck many
out. Both wen were well supported be
hind the bat. Corrigan, Memphis’ catcher,
was twice hurt, the last time having bis
finger broken. The errors were many ou
Memphis’part and very glaring. Many
sporting men say that the Memphis club
will not survive another trip, but this is
not authoritative. The score by innings
was us follows:

Sporting Votes.
Johnson, who pitched for Columbus last
year, has just been signed for the present
season. Kubl and he divided tbe honors
last year.
Macon has released N'eagle. It is said
that the release was given him on account
of a difficulty with one ot tbe members of
tbe club. He had not proved particularly
effective.
Nichols, Savannah’s pitcher, left the
city last night for Bridgeport, Conn.,
where he will play for the balance of the
season. An advance in salary and tbe
uncertainty which existed up to last
night concerning Savannah’s ent.rv into
the league are said to have induced his
departure.
Pendleton, tbe Macon manager, was re
leased Wednesday night, and Bryan, for
merly manager of the Nashvilles. was
employed in his stead. Bryan at once en
tered upon tbe discharge of his duties.
Cavanaugh, formerly of tbe Omahas, has

Midland Railway Company asking that
the Council exchange tne city’s stock in
tbe Mobile and Girard Railroad lor stock
in the Georgia Midland to an amount
eqtial to the market value ot the Mobile
and Girard stock on the day of the trans
ler. This omnmunieatlon was backed up
by one from a committee of the Board ot
Trade urging the Council to accept the
proposition and thereby encourage the
building of the Georgia Midland, which
would prove a valuable outlet for Colum
bus. There seems to be but little doubt
iu Columbus that the resolution will le

A high official of tho Plant system is
quoted us saying in regard to the issuing
ot new first mortgage bonds of the Charles
tou Hiid Havunutib Railway on Wednes
day that the issue was needed in order to
give the road a credit. The t rack, he said,
wns in splendid condition, with steel rails
all tnrough from Charleston to Savannah,
with a short lueak or two along the line-.
The outs'.anilitig first mortgage bonds,
amounting to ftwo.ooo, will be retired
and replaced with the new bonds,
and the company will have a bal
ance nt its disposal to pay off its floating
debt and funds or credit enough to pro
cure a thorough equipment. The present
equipment of the road Is leased—provided
by the other roads in the system. No
1 change of management Is contemplated
and the road will remain, as st present, in

road are good. It is true that the railroad

very much depressed, but in spite
of this road uid a fair buSIOOM

The Residents of Panama Anxious for
American Occupation and Neutraliza

Junett Declares the Present State of
Affairs the Rest in Years.
Washington, June 4.—Naval officers
woo were on the recent Panama expedi
tion say that the people of Panama were
anxious that the United States should
make its temporary possession of Panama
permanent. They said that under exist
ing circumstances it would be impossible
for tbe country to remain in a peaceful
condition for any length of time.
BETTER OFF THAN IN YEARS.
In an official report to the Navy De
partment Admiral Jouett says in regard
to the political condition on the isthmus :
••I am happy to state that matters seem
to be entirely settled, and the isthmus
now has a better and stronger govern
ment than it has had for many years, and
this promises to be permanent. While
martial law is still maintained, the civil
authorities have reorganized their govern
ment and have appointed officers in ail
the important positions.”
STRENGTH OF THE COLOMBIANS.
The Colombians, he further says, now
have garrisons along the line of transit,
and they have an ample force to protect
it and foreigners. They have relieved
tbe American forces of all dutieson shore
except guarding trains, and thev were to
assume that duty on May 26. ’ The Co
lombian authorities, the Admiral con
cludes, seem very anxious to assume all
the duties of protecting transit and lor
eigners’ property.

Senor Becerra, the Colombian Minister,
says that tbe presence in New York of

he says, is on bis way to Europe, and has
no business whatever with this govern

THE DEATH OF BAUM.
Dallas’ Cotton Swindler’s Sudden De
mise Causes Relief in High Circles.
Dallas, Tex., June 4. —Last Saturday
the attorneys for F. Baum, tbe Dallas
cotton swindler, who bad been incarcer
ated for several months at Chatham,
Canada, pending the result of extradition
proceedings, gave it out In this city that
Baum was dead. At first the news was
believed, but later County Attorney Clint
received two telegrams from Chief Detec
tive Furlong, of tbe Gould System
Secret Service at St. Louis, positively
denying the statement and as
suring Clint that Baum was alive.
Then the general opinion pre
vailed that tbe first report was erroneous,
and as the press dispatches failed to make
any mention of Baum, the idea that a ca
nard bail been circulated was generally
accepted. But to-day all doubt was put
at rest, and Baum’s' death was fully es
tablished by tbe receipt of a telegram by
County Attorney Clint from Canada di
rect, stating that Baum expired suddenly
at lp.m. on Saturday last of heart dis
ease. The demise, of this particular one
of th# chief conspirators in the great cot
ton swindle has rather disconcerted mat
ters in connection with the coming trial
at Dallas.
RELIEF IN HIGH CIRCLES.
Certain parties high up in business and
social circles dreaded bis return far more
than tbose already in the hands of the
law. and hud he been extradited their
positions would have been extremely
critical, as it is a positive fact tbe State
would have allowed him to turn State’s
evidence and receive a two-years sentence
on the only case that they would have
tried him on, out ot thirty odd against him.
SAVE CS FROM OCR FRIENDS.
Some weeks ago Baum requested to be
allowed to return to Dallas and take what
ever was in store for him, but certain
“friends” in tbe straits of desperation
most emphatically warned him that it
“was the rashness of suicide for him to
return to Dallas until he should bo com
pelled to do so, as the last resort,” and he
was forced to remain and tight tbe legal
proceedings until death took him off.
NO HOPE OF CONVICTION NOW.
There is now little hope of a single con
viction ever lining made in the great Texas
cotton swindle, as none but the minor
members of tbe gang are subject to
prosecution under positive evidence in
the state’s possession, and Baum was
possessed of the only weapons that could
lie used to bring down the chief conspira
tors that planned, plotted and profited
with him by the stupendous swindle.
The whole prosecution has been, from be
ginning to end, a gigantic legal farce.
Baum had bis life insuri and for upwards of
$20,1X8), ami leaves, besides that, clear
money and property for his family esti
mated to le worth at least ss‘>,oou. The
expense of fighting the law to keep out of
the penitentiary on these cotton case*
caused him to spend at least $."si,(XX) to
$60,000 actukl cash.
GOULD GOES TO LAW.
Suing a Wall Street Pr.per for Attack
log the Western Union.
New Y'okk, June 4.—A god deal of in
terest was shown to-day iu the criminal
lilK-l suit, in which Messrs. Gould, Sage
and Field nre concerned, against Charles
D. Keep, tbe editor of the IFu/l Street
Mews. The ease derives special interest

Mr. Keep, who publishes a little daily
paper devoted to Wall street uflairs, is
accused of having published false rumors
with the intcut of affecting the market

davits on which the arrest was made were

AIR SOUNDING FOR ICEBERGS.
An Apparatus* by Which An Echo Can
hi© Heard in Time to Avoid Colli
sion.
From the York Herald .
Washington, June 2.—The presence
of an unprecedented number of icebergs
in the Northern Atlantic this spring and
the importance of furnishing a means by
winch a vessel at sea can avoid objects of
any kind in its path led Prof. Alexander
Graham Bell to bring the recent discov
eries of Mr. Frank Della Torre, of Balti
more, before the Nat loti al Academy of
sciences at its last meeting. The follow
ing letter from his pen, w-hicb will ap
pear in tbe Science on Friday, gives a de
tailed account of the experiments made
on the river Patapseo'a few weeks ago:
The recent accident to the steamer City
of Berlin emphasizes the importance of
devising practical methods of ascertain
ing the proximity of icebergs in a fog. Tbe
precautions taken by the Captain, though
thev saved the lives' of more than 1,400
passengers and prevented serious danger
to the vessel, did not preveutcontact with
the berg. Even the outlooks were unaware
of the proximity o; tne iceberg until it
was actually upon them.
Under these circumstances the method
Proposed by Mr. Frank Della Torre, of
Baltimore, deserves consideration. Hi*
experiments indicate that it may be pos
sible to obtain an echo from an iceberg
when in dangerous proximity to a snip.
Mr. Della Torre believes that even an
object offering so small a surface
as a floating wreck may be detected
this way during a fog in time to
prevent collision. However this may
be, it is certain that his method is worthy
of trial at sea. and that preliminary ex
periments recently made in the presence
of Prof. Rowland, of the Johns Hopkins
University, and the writer, have demon
strated the feasibility of producing well
marked echoes from schooners and river
steamboats at considerable distances
away.
The experiments were made on the
river Patapsco, near the head of Chesa
peake bay, at a point a'*ont seven miles
from the city of Baltimore. The party
proceeded down the river In a steam
launch to the selected place, where the
distance from shore to shore appeared to
be about three miles. The launch was
kept so tar from land as to prevent the
possibility of mistaking a shore echo lor
that obtained from a passing vessel. The
apparatus employed consisted of a
musket, to the muzzle ot which a speak
ing trumpet had been attached. This gun
was aimed at passing vessels and blank
cartridges were fired. Alter a longer or
shorter time distant echoes were re
turned. The river steamboats and pass
ing schooners returned perfectly distinct
echoes about a mile distant. At shorter
distances the effects were, of course, still
more striking.
In order to test tho minimum size of
object that would produce a sensible echo,
a number of shots were fired in the direc
tion of an approaching tugboat which ap
proached bow on. Even in this ease a
feeble echo could be perceived when the
tugboat was estimated to be a quarter of
a mile distant. In this ease the sound
was heard only by tbe closest attention,
but in the case of larger vessels the effects
were very distinct.
Experiments were made which demon
strated the fact that the speaking trumpet
attached to the glin materially assisted in
giving direction to the sound impulse and
in intensifying the effect. Mr. Della
Torre claims that a steam w histle or siren
apparatus for projecting the sound im
pulse directly ahead of a moving vessel
w ilt prove as efficacious as the firing of a
gun.
In some of the experiments a prolonged
rumbling sound resembling thunder was
heard when the gun was tired. The sur
face of the water was at the time covered
with ripples, only the effect was less
marked than when the water was smooth.
The sound may therefore have been caused
by the wavelets in the water, In which
case it is probable that this kind of sound
may prove a disturbing element of im
portance wnen the experiment is tried
upon a rough sea.
Alexander Graham Bell.
Mr. Della Torre states that his experi
ments have been tried in deep sea and
have been perfectly satisfactory. He has
already succeeded in getting a percepti
ble echo lrorn an iceberg. lie has in
vented an apparatus for the intensifica
tion ot the sound of the echo as it re
turns to its starting point. It thus ap
pears that by a very simple apparatus
collisions at sea can be avoided.
GEN. BUTLER IN A 11AGE.
He Has a YVorffjr F'as-age at Arms YYith
Senator K’vaiTs.
From the New York Journal.
Dr. Seldon H. Talcott,Superintendent of
the Middletown (N. Y r .) Insane Asylum,
tilted his chair back in Surrogate Rol
lins’Court Tuesday morning, fixed him
self comfortably and for three hours an
swered Gen. Butler’s fast-flowing ques
tions:
The doctor had Miss Mary Irene Hoyt,
who is making such a stout tight for halt
her dead father’s under his
charge for awhile, tie was s.J(-contained
and careful yesterday, and Gen. Butler
could make nothing outoi his cross-ex
amination.
The doctor toward the last testified that
iu 1880 Miss iioyt was suffering from
chronic mnniu. Gen. Butler’s putlence
was about worn out. liis face was red
as the J aequo rose in his coat lapel. Down
his shiny head and broad face little rivu
lets of perspiration ran. He caught them
in a huge handkerchief. YVhen the doctor
said that Miss Mary had chronic mania
in 1880, the Massachusetts statesman
waved his handkerchief triumphantly,
lie thought ho had caught the physician.
“A!i!” lie cried, “you signed a certifi
cate in 1882 swearing that the lniiy ‘is
now passing into curonic mania,’ llow,
then, could she have chronic uiauia in
1880 J”
Mr. Evarts sat near with the certificate
in his hand. “There’s no word ‘now’ in
it,” said be.
Gen. Butler grew furious.
-Y'ou have no right,” he exclaimed,
stumping his foot, “to interrupt me. it
Is alt wrong for you to instruct the
witness, to put words into his mouth.”
It was now the turn of the Senator trom
New York to grow angry.
“i am putting no words into his mouth,”
he retorted, rising as he spoke, “but 1 am
taking words onto! yours.”
“You can’t do it, sir,” cried the Bald
Kugle lrorn the Bay State; “you can’t put
words in my mouth.”
“i’ll try at all events,” returned Mr.
Evarts,
Both counsellors talked to t|*> Surrogate
ut once until tie pounded u tattoo on nis

SOMETHING NEW IX TYPE.
The Novel Case Exhibited at the Print
ers* Convention.
From the Ne\c York Timet.
A case of ‘-self-spacing type” was yes
terday placed on exhibition at the con
vention of the International Typographi
cal Union, and attracted the attention of
nearly every printer present. Tbebasison
which the type is constructed is that of 13
eras pica to a line, and for nonpareil the
smallest spaces are of such a widtn that
152 of them will exactly fill a line. The
width of every character is regulated with
reference to this division as a unit, so
that, for instance, the lower case “a” is
four units wide, the letter “e” three units,
and so on throughout the alphabet. It is
evident that it would be impossible to
combine characters and spaces of the type
based on this division that would not
fill a line of 13 eins pica either exactly or
with a certain number of exact units too
little, which could be remedied ty a space
or two of the required numlier of units in
width, leaving every line of a true uni
formity in width." Where nonpareil is
divided into 152 units minion is divided
into 136, brevier into 1.8. bourgeois into
120, long primer into 112, small pica into
104. and pica into 06. All these numbers
have a common divisor with 152. and
hence may be set to the same measure.
Aside lrom the evenness in work gained
by the self-spacing tvpe, it is asserted
that it can be set up 33' per cent, quicker
than common type, and as 28 of the most
common lower case characters are of the
same size they can be substituted for one
another iu correcting proofs without
changing a space. There are but eight
widths of type in the case, whereas in or
dinary fonts there are about 190.
A Duelist Pardoned in Austria.
Vienna, June 3.—Emperor Francis
Joseph has issued a pardon liberating Dr.
Julius Rosenberg from the remainder of
tbe two years’ term of imprisonment to
which he was sentenced at Tamsvar,
Hungary, on Jan. 22, 1884, for killing
Count Stephen Batthyany in a duel. The
Count had married a ladv to whom the
doctor had been affianced] and the duel
was the result of a dispute between the
men as to her relations to her first suitor.
Three shots were exchanged. The doctor’s
third fire drove a bullet through Count
Batthyany’s head at the temple, and kill
ed him instantly. Dr. Rosenberg’s trial
was long and sensational, and attracted
general attention throughout Europe.
The present Imperial intercession is said
to have been inspired by genuine sympa
thy with the prisoner.
It was Not a Box of Dynamite.
From tho New York Sun.
Soon after the Canada, the British war
vessel, arrived in tbe harbor her com
mander requested the manager of the
telegraph office in Tompkiusville to send
all dispatches for him off to the vessel by
boat as soon as they were received. One
day a message came that the operator
deemed important, and he told a mes
senger to run with it to the wharf and
send it off to the Canada. The messenger,
a bright-haired lad of unmistakably Irish
leatures, put the messaze into a cigar box
because the day was rainy, and started
off. It happened that, as he approached
the wharf, he saw the Canada’s steam
launch just putting off. Arriving out ot
breath at the edge ot the wharf he,hurled
the cigar box into the launch, which was
then ten or fifteen feet away.
‘-Djnumite!” shouted one of the British
tars, who had caught sight of the excited
j Irish face of the thrower.
In an instant the box was in the water,
and several revolvers were pointed at the
i messenger, who, appreciating the situa
i tion, dodged behind a pile of timber.
'V hen he dared to peek out he screamed to
the boatswain:
i “There’s a dispatch in the box. I’m a
| messenger!”
The launch returned and picked up the
box, and carried the drenched message to
the Canada.
