4 MERCER'S TEAM NEEDS STRENGTH The Orioles Made Monkeys of the Tigers Yesterday AQernoon. VUI Al THE BAT And Loose Playing in the Field Per mitted a Big Score bv Han lon's Sluggers. In th. up-10-dat* expression the Balti- | . i .Lt tMi r<-*-r I moi*- it .iin iiwk monkey* oi in* > boy* ycst.rday afternoon in the game of : ball. It was a om-slucd affair all the way through, t hough of course no one *x pet tt.l to *<•• M r ■ r Jut. r- a the Oriole* v i fy much. One ;.n-on of Uu lax gam* put up by ■ •the M< rcer miin wa* that fact that sev . ral of tiie players bad to stay al lav col lege on some examinations and could not play, though those th.it were there did very Irttl- to make the game interesting. The Baltimore’s playid a listless game" with a big lead in the -on. Garrett was jMiun-hd all over tin field, and Mansfield i was put in with a *or* arm and held the Heavy hitlers down a little better. He struck two of them out in sticctsslon. In the field some of the men stood with . one foot on their kin-e in school boy sash- i ion, ami when a ball w.’s batted in their j direction it took them several seconds to i unlimber for action, - | Though the Mercer boys only went into i the game to get the benefit of playing a I t< am so much stronger than they are, they j clearly demonstrated that they are sadly in n-« I of practice, both in the field and at the bat. There is med of some leading spirit on the team to keep up some noise and infuse a little ginger into the game. The score, 'M to 4 was made while the crowd looked on and groaned at the large number of errors that, the Mercer boys piled up. A change of umpires did not li< Ip. the play of tiie tigers. If Mer-* cer expects to beat Athens this year she wants lo get some one on the team with b-iter batting ability than some of those she has got now, tor in the game with John Knox's North Georgia team a few days ago the Athens boys demonstrated that they were heavy hitters, ami knew What lo do with themselves in the field. A GENEROUS OFFER Mrde to the Hospital Association by M. & B. Railway. tine of the most liberal oilers that have ye; be-n made to the Ladies' Auxiliary of th-' Macon Hospital Association, is the one tiiai Iras just been made by the Macon and Birmingham road, through General Freight Agent R. G. Stone. The road has oft-red to the Ladies Aux iliary through its chairman, Mrs. L. O. Stevens, ;■ per cent, of all gross through freight earnings handled into Macon from April 1 to April 15 inclusive. This- is a generous otter, and will no doubt be accepted by the ladies, as it will net ihem several hundred dollars, and will be very little work. I he Ladies’ Auxiliary will hold a meet ing sometime soon to accept the otter and arrange plans for making the receipts of the road during the period which they will get the 5 per cent, as large as possible. 1 his is the first time that any railroad in the country has ever offered a per cent, of its earnings to any cause, and the gen erosity ol tin Maeon and Birmingham and its officials is greatly appreciated. Thu ladies ->t the hospital will act as soliciting freight agents, and a laree part of freight ■that will he hauled into Macon during that time will come over tiie Macon and Birm ingham. Following is the letter which has been received by Mrs. L. O. Stevens, chairman of the Ladies Auxiliary: Macon, Ga.. March 19th, 1898. Mrs. Ixiuis O. Stevens, President Ladies Auxiliary, Maeon City Hospital Associa tion, Macon, Ga. My Dear Madam: Recognizing the good work done by our Hospital since its organ ization ami equipment, also appreciating its present financial difficulties, and de siring to aid in the further advancement of this institution in a substantial way, our management has authorized me to make you the following proposition: We propose to give to the Ladies Aux iliary of the Macon Hospital Association 5 per cent, of the gross Macon and Birm ingham railway earnings of all through freight t ratlie handled by the Macon and Birmingham railway company into Macon from \pril Ist to \.pnl 15th. 1898, inclu sive. Kindly advise me if our proposition is accepted hi order that we may discuss in detail the arrangement for carrying out our proposition. If we can further assist you in the mat ter of getting as large amount as possible for the Hospital, we will be pleased to do iso. I remain, yours with respect,, , R. G. STONE, . General Freight Agent. BLANTON WINSHIP Will be Elected Captain of the Floyd Rifles Monday. The I- loyd Rifles held a company meet ing last night. As a result of ahat meet ing Lieut. S. R. Wiley, who is at present in command of the company, will :vk Col. M iley to appoint next ‘Monday night as a -lay for the holding of the election of a captain of the company. Mr. Blanton Winship has already been selected as the next captain of the com pany, and he will be elected, of course, at that time if the colonel sets that day. It has been stated on several occasions in The News that Mr. Herring Winship had been selected as the captain of the Floyd Rifles, bitt this is a mistake, as Mr. Herring W inship has not been a candidate Jn fact it is doubtful if he is a member of ■the company.

JEM LOCKETT Is Suing the Central Railroad for the Loss of His Leg. I j Jim -Lockett is suing the Central rail j road for SIO,OOO in the city court today. Jim lost his leg while in the einploy of | the Central railroad, and later he lost his liberty at the hands of a jury and a judge in the superior court. It will ne remembered that Jim Lockett j is the same one-legged negro who killed old man Paul Freeman in South Macon some months ago, and who was tried in the superior court some time ago, and would in all probability have been hung if he had had two legs, and the jury had not hesitated to urge a man into eternity who was so badly maimed. i And now Jim Lockett, who had filed suit ! some time ibefore his other mishap, which ■ included a mishap to old man Freeman, is I in the city court trying to get a judgment - against the Central railroad, and of course . the fact that he has to spend his life in •i the penitentiary will not affect- the verdict I of the jury, because Jim had not fallen I from grace when he lost life leg. He will probably get a good verdict, and ' his family will be benefited. THE TRACK MEET. Mercer Expects to Be Heard From in the Corning Events.

THE CHALLENGE WEPTED Pardon Board Takes Attorney Harris at His Word and Visits Mrs. Nobles. MESSRS. TH 110 BEACH Are Here Today to Visit the Old Wo man and Judge of Her Insanity for Themselves, The state pardon board has accepted the . ti.ilhuge oi Mr. Marion Harris, attorney ipr M,.~. ..obits, and ill uase >Uieir Ue- Ci.-ion upon tn t videi.ee oi a personal in v*..-. igatioi. ot wcetuer oi not the old wo man is responsible lor her acts. i - sterday Gen. Clement A. Evans, of the pardon board, came to -Macon and went to U.e jail, where he had a long conference with -Mrs. Nobles. All during, his stay here ae succeeded in eluding report er.-, u.-d hence no expression of what he thought or the case ot the old woman could be- procure-d. He did not stop at any ot the aotels, but went to a private residenoe in Mineville. .Today Chairm.an Turner and Mr. Jake Beach, the other two memoers of the par -ion board, came to the city to investigate the case, ana from this evidence it is cer tain mat the board has very grave doubts as to the .sanity of iMrs. Naoles, and there is very little uoubt in -the minds- of those who are intimately acquainted with the old woman nut ,wnat tneir decision will be that she -was not morally responsible lor tiie crime which she denies now that see had anything whaee-ver to do with. Until several months ago Mrs. Nobles never denied mat she assisted in the kill ing oi her husband, and a well known saying at' hers was that she would not have killed him had she -known that she was going to make so much trouble. A lew months ago a News reporter called oh her at her cell, and asked her about the eri-me, iwhen she was sentenced to be hung a few days later. -She emphat ically denied that she ever had anything to ao with the killing, and that she did nut know anything about it. Ever since ■ that time she has stroutly denied any knowli dge of the crime. Up to 2 o’clock the members of the par don board had not made their appearance at the jail, and cannot be found at any of the hotels, but they are in Macon, and will probably go to the jail some time this afternoon, when no newspaper men are on watch. Dr. Worsham was called in this morn ing to see Mrs. Nobles, as she is complain ing, and vzent to bed about 10 o’clock. Her condition is not serious. She is suffering more from fright than anything else, and her whole system seems to -be breaking down. In the .past few weeks she has los tra.pidly in flesh, and is look ing unusually pale and sallow. It is‘evi dent that she could not live much longer in the confinement to which she has been subjected for the past few years. No one denies that she is a cunning old woman, but hers is the cunning Os an ani mal, who, even in its ignorance, regards the first law of nature of self-preservation. Her penetration in matters with which A.e has ha-d dealings is very acute, and she has a remarkable memory for all in juries done her, and does not soon forget a kindness.- -But the ordinary things of life she cannot recollect, and they come to her only as they do the animal. Her insanity is more from ignorance than from any other reason, and she hasn’t -the least con ception of moral responsibility. Were she shamming insanity she could give more decided evidence that she were insane than she does at present. iShe is totally unconscious in everything she does and says, and there is not the least affec tation. •Mentally Gus Fambles is no better than Mrs. Noibles, as he, too, is densely -igno rant. He has but one fear since he was put in jail, and that is that he would be lynched. He did not seem to dread being executed by law', but when there was a threatened attack on the jail when Wil liams, the rapist, was confined there, he was in mortal terror, and 'begged that the lynchers not be permitted to find him. The decision of the board will be made tomorrow, and submitted to the governor, and it is a settled fact now that Mrs. No bles will not be allowed to hang Friday, for there are other procee-dures that can be taken if the pardon board should re commend that she be executed as the law prescribes. MISS DAVIS’ FUNERAL, Interment Took Plack at Rose Hill Ceme tery. The funeral of Miss Gussie -Davis took place this morning from the residence of her -father, Mr. W. A.
