AFTER THE WRECKERS.
Five Negroes Under Arrest Charged
With the Crime.
The Detectives Say They Have a Clew
as to Who Turned the Switch Near
Millen—Engineer Starr’s Murderers
May Yet Bo Brought to Justice.
Other Arrests to Be Made.
Detectives have been on the lookout for
the malicious parties who broke the lock
and threw the switch at Perkins’ junc
tion near Millen, causing the accident
which resulted in the death of Engineer
\V. C. Starr.
The result of their searches has been
the arrest of several parties to wfiom the
crime S3 charged, and those by whom the
arrests have been made, while they feel
confident they have the right parties, and
have evidence to establish this charge,
will say nothing about it. it being their de
termination to fully work up the case be
fore any disclosures are made.
Detective Abe Chance, of Augusta, has
arrested Martin Jones and Will Gridin,
two colored boys aged 12 and 14 years.
Jones claims he is from Savannah. The
boys were carried to Augusta, where
they were put in jail. Two other negroes,
whose names were not learned, were ar
rested near the same place and sent to
Augusta, while two others are said to be
beating their way toward Savannah, and
the police have been warned to be on the
lookout for them.
One negro was captured in this way
and has been sent back to Millen. He
was J. H. Williams, who broke a seal on a
freight car near there and got inside.
He was caught at this trick and the door
locked on him. When the train reached
Savannah he was turned over to the
authorities here and sent back to Millen.
The authorities who made the arrests,
think these parties know a great deal
about the wreck, but there are more ar
rests to be made yet before the matter
will be cleared up. This is one of the
few attempts to wreck a train on the
Central railroad that has proved success
ful. The detectives say these attempts
are made often, and disasters would bo
far more frequent were it not for the
vigilance of the employes. In many cases,
arrests are made through the agency of
the detectives in the employ of the roads,
and the culprits are sent to the chain
gang and very little is heard of it.
A LIVELY FAMILY SET-TO.
Andrew Haupt Locked Up for Beating:
His Wife.
Considerable excitement was created in
the southern section of the city, In the
neighborhood of Lincoln and Daffy streets,
s'estorday afternoon, by the report that
Mrs. Andrew J. Haupt was in a dying
condition as a result of a brutal beating
she had received from her husband. The
report was brought to the ixjlice barracks
just as the 6 o’clock relief was going out.
The detail was notified to look ont for
Haupt. and to secure him at all hazards.
It was reported that Haupt was still in
the neighborhood and Sergeant Baughn
and a couple of mounted polioemen went
out to the scene with the patrol wagon in
the expectation of finding Haupt there.
They were disappointed in this, bnt their
appearance with the wagon did not tend
to allay the excitement. A considerable
crowd gathered which listened eagerly to
the reports of the woman's condition
which were magnified as they traveled. At
7 o’clock Haupt was arrested at Bull and
Broughton streets by Policeman Orltn
mins and sent to the barracks. About
the same time a report was circulated
throughout the city that his wife was
(lead.
Dr. S. J. Lanier was summoned to Mrs.
Haupt immediately after the difficulty
between herself and her husband. He
was informed that Mrs. Haupt had been
kicked in the stomach and that she was
in a dying condition as a result of internal
injuries. An examination, however,
failed to confirm the report and Dr. Lu-
Lanier concluded that in her excited con
dition the woman had imagined herself
to be more seriously hurt than she really
was. He found no bruises or marks of
blows.
Haupt was formerly connected with
the fire department as the driver of the
hose reel at headquarters. He was con
sidered one of the best firemen in the
service, but was discharged several
months ago on account of drunkenness,
since which time he has been out of em
ployment. To a Moit ning News reporter
who saw him at the barracks Haupt said
that there was no truth whatever in the
reports of his attack upon his wife. He
said that they had had a quarrel over
some clothing of his which his wife re
fused to do up, and which he carried
over to his sister s house. When he came
back, he said, his wife tried to
lock him out, and refused to even
give him his necktie which he had left on
the bureau. He then broke in the
door, when his wife began to abuse him
in the vilest manner. She made some
statements which he could not stand,
and he struck her a blow across the
shoulder. His wife shen seized a small
chair which she broke across his back.
He then struck her a second blow across
the knee. This, he swore most positively,
was the extent of the difficulty. His
wife, he said, was a woman of very un
governable temper, and not being in good
health, her tits of temper usually threw
her into a hysterical condition. Haupt
said that he and his wife had not gotten
along very well together for some time.
TO BE BACK TO-MORROW.
The Cruisers Will Spend To-day on
the Waters.
The yachts which went on the annual
cruise of the Savannah Yacht Club were
between Warsaw and Ossabaw yesterday.
With them is a pleasure party of about
thirty prominent Savannahians, who are
enjoying a few days on the salts. Commo
dore Lathrop brought a small party up to
the city yesterday in his naphtha launch,

party yesterday afternoon. Ho reports
good fishing and excellent weather. The
cruisers will remain out until Monday
morning, when they will return to the
city.

POLITICS STIRRING AGAIN.
The Leaders to Roll Up Their Sleeves
for Work This Week.
East week was a quiet one in politics
after the exciting times of the preceding
week. The battle will warm up again
this week, however, as there is only a
little over two weeks left in which to pre
pare for the gTeat fight at the primary on
July 10.
All the clubs will hold meetings this
week, and the plan of campaign will be
mapped out. The most important work,
and the one to which this week will be
especially devoted, is the preparing of the
tickets for the piimary. This will be
done with a great deal of care by both
sides, and the tickets will hardly be an
nounced before the end of the week. The
preparation of the tickets will be jjo easy
matter. There are to be forty-six names
on each ticket, and how to put the best
men forward without slighting anyof the
workers is the puzzle which will confront
thejleaders.
legislative candidates must also be
selected. The Democratic and Tammany
Clubs have plenty of material, but it is
slow in coming forward. Among those
suggested for legislative honors are: Maj.
G. M. Ityals, P. 11. Gearon, G. T. Cann,
Esq., George W. Owens, Esq., S. B.
Adams, Esq., W. G. Cann, M. A. O’Byrne,
W. C. Partridge, P. J. O’Connor and oth
ers. For the senatorial race Maj. Mel
drim Is the favorite. Mr. Adams and
Maj. Kyals are also spoken of.
ilr. W. W. Osborne is generally con
ceded to be the candidate of the Citizens
Club lor the Senate. T. I). Rockwell and
J. J. Doolan are expected to be candidates
for the legislature, with Col. John
Screven, Mr. E. A. Weil, Henry McAlpin,
Esq., and W. P. Ealioche, Esq., as possi
bilities.
The retirement of Gen. Evans from the
gubernatorial race was the talk of the
politicians yesterday. The announce
ment of his retirement had been expected
for several days and created no surprise.
Everyone acknowledged that it was
gracefully done. The necessity for his
retirement was greatly regretted by Gen.
Evans' friends, but they saw it was use
less to continue the fight further.
Congressman Tester's friends are be
ginning to inquire when he is coming
home to look after his fences. If he at
tempts to stay the present session of con
gress out the election may be over before
he gets back. Apparently Col. Tester’s
fences do not need looking after, as no
opposition has developed anywhere yet.
Hon. Alfred Herrington, of Emanuel
county, has announced that he will
not make the race. Maj. W. A.
Wilkins has been spoken of by his
friends in Burke, but there has been no
announcement of his candidacy. Col. W.
W. Gordon was also said to have an eye
upon Col. lister's scat, but whether he
will make any effort to secure it is not
known. It is well known that whoever
undertakes the task will find Col. Tester
a mighty hard man to heat, ajtd no wise
man is going to undertake it until he has
carefully surveyed the field and counted
the cost.
THE PINEORA OHUROH.
The Corner-stone of the Structure to
Be Laid To-day.
The laying of the corner-stone of the
new Episcopal church at Pineora, now in
course of construction, will be celebrated
to-day at that place. The services will
be in charge of Kev. W. R. McConnell.
Ground has been broken for this church
and the foundation laid.
The ladies of this little town met about
two years ago and formed an association
under the name of “The Ladies’ Church
Aid Society,” with Mrs. T. B. Floyd as
treasurer. They have worked incess
antly since in raising means to carry out
their cherished purpose of erecting a
house of worship and right well they
have succeeded through entertainments,
ice cream festivals and other means, in
raising an amount almost sufficient to
complete their building. Too mnch praise
cannot be bestowed on these ladies, par
ticularly the Misses Seabrook, Mrs. B.
W. Seabrook. Mrs. W. B. Seabrook. Mrs.
T. D. He.yward, Mrs. T. S.JHeyward.iMiss
Gignilliat, Mrs. Belger, Mrs T. F. Stubbs
and othors. The present officers are Mrs.
T. N. Belger president, who is a very
zealous church worker, and Mrs. J. S.
Seabrook, treasurer.
Mr. ii. II Gignilliat, of this city, drew
the church plans and William Abbott, of
Guyton, is the contractor. The building
committee are Messrs. T. 'B. Floyd, T.
Daniel Hoy wood and George S. Parnum.
Many Savannahians take a deep interest
in Pineora affairs and all wish the project
may meet with a full measure of success.
The buildwig committee has chartered
the elegant now steambr Vigilant for an
excursion to Beaufort and Port Royal in
the first week of July for the benefit of
this church fund. The steamer has just
been built and is now in Newburg, where
Capt. Gibson has gone to bring her to
this port. She is built on the latest im
proved patterns and will carry 700 pas
sengers. This will be the first excursion
party the new steamer will carry.
WANT TH K FARE REDUCED.
The 1 yb is Road Not Likely to Make
Any Change in Rates.
The patrons of the Tybee railroad are
considering a petition to the Central rail
road officials for a return to the 35-cent
excursion fare, if not every day, for two
days a week at least. The 50-cent fare
has not been a popular move for the
island. It waaput on at the beginning of
the season, instead of the 35-cent fare, in
view of the expense of rebuilding the
road.
“The increased fare has been a bad
thing for Tybee,” said a patron of the
road, yesterday. “More than enough peo
ple would have visited the island at 35
cents to have made up the difference in
the increase. We have not much hope
for any change this season though, as the
Central officials have announced that
there will be no reduction, and we will
have to pay our 50 cents or stay away.
The rebuilding of the road was an enter
prise that the people appreciate, and their
appreciation will be shown when tho fare
it put where it was—at 35 cents, or even
40 cents, which would pay street car fare
in the city to and from the depot.”
The Electric lines aro satisfied with the
50-cent fare, as it has popularized the su
burban trips to Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope, and the patronage of the city lines
for pleasure rides among people who do
not feel able to visit Tybee.
THE CHORAL SOCIETY.
The Closing Rehearsal for the Season
To-morrow Night.
The Festival Choral Society will close
its season’s work with the next rehearsal
to-morrow night at the Young Men’s
Christain Association hall. A full attend
ance of its members is expected, aud some
pleasing music will be presented.
This will not be a public rehearsal, but
all who are interested in the work of the
society, or who enjoy music will be heart
ily welcomed.
Tho society expects to resume its work
in the fall with double its present mem
bership, and to take up the study of much
greater works than it has yet attempted.

TO COAL THE BIG SHIPS,
Another Move on Foot tor the Benefit
of the Port.
Steamships That Gome to Savannah
for Cotton This Fall May Get Their
Goal Here Also—lt Is Claimed That
They Will Save Over SSOO Each by
Doing So—A Reduced Rate of Insur
ance a Probable Result, Should the
Steamers Save the Trip to Norfolk
or Newport News.
There is a movement on foot which de
serves the hearty encouragement of the
business men of the city because it prom
ises to add to the commerce of the port in
a very material way.
For several days the representatives of
the coal companies and railroads have
been quietly working among the cotton
and shipping men and the marine insur
ance men on the Bay in the interest of a
move to have all steamships leaving this
port take their coal here.
As probably 150 steamships, each re
quiring from 400 to 500 tons of coal, will
visit the port this season it will be seen
that this is no small item. At present,
and for a number of years past, nearly
all the steamships leaving Savannah with
cotton or phosphate have secured their
coal at Norfolk. There are several
reasons for Jhis, the chief being
the splendid coaling facilities provided at
Norfolk. With the development of the
Alabama coal mines which are reached
direct from Savannah by the Central rail
road efforts were made for the establish
ment of a coaling station here. Theprojoct
was not favored by the shipping men, how
ever, on the ground that the depth of the
river was not sufficient to allow of a
steamship securing her full cargo of cot
ton and at the same time taking on a full
supply of coal for the trip across without
stopping at any intermediate port. The
increased depth of the river has now ob
viated this objection. With vessels leav
ing the port drawing 22 feet of water, there
is no reason why the largest steamships
whidh come here cannot take on a full
cargo of cotton and a coal as
well, and get down the river with safety
and ease. Sufficient coaling facilities
have also been provided to furnish all
steamers with coal leaving this port.
VOR SAVANNAH TO SAT.
It is now merely a question whether
Savannah shall take advantage of her op
portunities or whether she shall continue
to allow this profitable business to go to
Norfolk. It is not merely to the interest
of the coal companies, that the business
should'be done at Savannah. It is esti
mated that the extra cost to a steamship
leaving Savannah to coal at Norfolk or
Newport News is not less than SSOO more
than if the steamship had coaled at Sa
vannah.
A most important item in this extra
cost is the marine insurance, nn extra
charge being made by the marine under
writers upon vessels touching at any
other port after leaving the loading port
before reaching her destination. This
extra charge is estimated to be not less
than one-eighth of 1 per cent. As the
values of the cotton cargoes leaving
Savannah average from {250,000 to
♦300,000, this extra cost for insur
ance amounts to something over
S3OO for the average vessel, and in the
case of extra large steamers to fully twice
that amount. If this exra cost can be
saved it is an important item to the busi
ness of the port, and one well worth look
ing after just now, while com)>etition be
tween the ports is so sharp and the ques
tion of the reduction of port charges is
being so prominently brought forward.
WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
To secure the consession, however. It is
necessary to get the consent of the ma
rine insurance companies to the reduction
and also the consent of the ship owners
to having their vessels coal at this port.
It is the custom in chartering ships now
to provide in the charter that the vessel
shall coal north of Hatteras. It is thought
that when the subject is properly pre
sented to the ship owners and the marine
insurance companies that they will make
no objections to the desired changes in
the rates and charte rs, and it is upon
these lines that work is now being done.
There are other important items to the
vessel leaving Savannah to coal at Nor
folk. The pilotage into Norfolk for a ves
sel drawing over sixteen feet is {9O. To
go out of her way into Norfolk and secure
her coal a vessel loses on an average of
two days' time. Time is valuable to a
vessel with a cargo valued at from a quar
ter to half a million dollars and {IOO a
day is a low estimate of the cost, includ
ing the expenses of the vessel and
the extra amount of coal consumed.
These figures have been carefully made
up, and It is safe to say are not far from
the truth, even if they are not under the
truth.
A 810 SAVINO TO SHIPS.
From this it will be seen that by coal
ing at Savannah, a steamship would save
over SSOO on the trip. It is estimated
that if this trade can be secured for Sa
vannah. it will mean the handling of
over {200,000 worth of coal through Sa
vannah every season for steamships alone.
Of this amount the Central railroad
would secure over {IOO,OOO for freights, as
the cost of freight is one half the cost of
coal at the port. Receiver Comer would
no doubt find such an addition to the rev
enues of the road very welcome, indeed.
A discount from tho above figures
should be made for the difference in the
price of coal between Savannah and Nor
folk, which is about 15 cents a ton. This
would amount to less than SIOO for each
vessel coaled, however, leaving something
over S4OO still in favor of coaliug at Sa
vannah. The reduoed rate of insurance
alone means {50.000 a year saved to the
business men of Savannah.

NEW PATENT FLOUR.
The Noel Mills “Undine” Water
Ground Speeialty.
The Noel Mill Company, located at
Estill Springs, Tcnn., is making a patent
crushed middlings flour, under the brand
of "Undine,” which they claim to be su
perior to any flour in the country. The
system used is entirely new and is the
sole property of the company. The
wheat,instead of being ground, is shreded,
the rolls running ut a very great differen
tial. Tho result is an article of flour with
more nutriment, and sweeter than any
other manufactured. This new system,
by which the crushed middlings flour
is made does not injure the life of the
berry, but leaves every health giving
quality of the wheat unimpaired.
The “Undine” flour is made from se
lected winter wheat, and is water ground.
Its superiority over other flour is recog
nized at once upon trial. It is sold by
grocers everywhere, and is recognized as
au excellent breadstuff.—ad.

THE COLORED MASONS.
Their Grand Lodge to Meet in Macon
This Week.
The Union Grand Lodge of Freemasons,
colored, will assemble in Macon Tuesday
for its twenty-fourth annual session. It
is expected to be the largest meeting ever
held by that body, and w ill doubtless be
exceedingly lively, as it is understood

SOME REASONS
Why the Housekeepers of Savannah
Should Patronize the City Market.
There are many reasons why the people
of the city of Savannah should patronize
the regular market.
There is a greater attraction and a
larger variety of products to select from.
The fact that the market is presided
over by the health officers, inspectors and
market clerks is a guarantee that nothing
is offered for sale but that which is pure
and healthy.
Another reason is that the street cars
center there, and it is so convenient for
housekeepers to go direct to the market
and make their purchases in the early
morning before the sun gets high and the
weather oppressive.
It is a satisfaction, too, that every one
can rely upon getting anything they want
from the leading enterprising butcher,
who oaters to the wants of the entire
city.
He is the same, summer or winter; he
gets the best the market affords always.
The length of time he has been in the
trade, and his successful endeavors to
supply the choicest meats to his custom
ers, are reasons why he understands his
business.
He furnishes the finest roasts, steaks
and other cuts of choice meats because
he will have nonp but the best in his
stalls.
He makes a specialty of fresh fish,
crabs, shrimps and country produce,
which he purchases from first hands and
delivers to his customers.
He has a reputation for the excellency
of his specially selected and prepared
corned beef.
He has only first-class goods in every
department, has only first-class men to
handle his goods, employs only a first
class delivery, and in fact is only first
class in every respect.
Housekeepers should get up early, go to
him and buy their dinners aud return
home happy and in good humor to enjoy
what they nave purchased from H. Lo
gan, the leading butcher of Savannah.—
ad.
Okarma’i Success
Is due to the fact that he uses only the
finest imported leather, employs tho best
workmen, makes his own uppers and
sells his shoes as cheap as can be bought
ready made.—ad.

ATLANTA WILL PLAY HERE
A Report That Sullivan Hart Dropped
Out an Error.
President Nicklin Seems to Have Re
ceived Some Unreliable Information.
Teddy Wires McOloskey He Is in the
League to Stay, and Will Be In
Savannah To-day—McOloakey Sur
prised and Anxious When the Report
Wae First Received.
Teddy'Sullivan’s men will be in Savan
nah to-day and will play three games
with Savannah this week.
Some disingenuous Atlanta crank, with
a dislike for Sullivan perhaps, seems to
have informed President Nicklin that
Atlanta had dropped out of the league,
and the information has had somewhat
o' a depressing effect, which will proba
bly be counteracted by the information
that comes from Sullivan that he is in
the league to stay. The following tele
gram from Chattanooga explains the situ
ation as President Nicklin views it:
Chattanooga, Tenn., June 23.—The blue
ness of the outlook for the Southern
League was reflected in the features of
President Nicklin to-day, when seen by
the Morning News correspondent. He
had just received a wire from Atlanta
that the Gate City’s club was out. “I
don’t know what to say as to the future
hardly,” he said. ‘‘At present every
thing is in confusion by the sudden with
drawal of Atlanta. I shall call a meeting
of the directors and officers at Montgom
ery for Tuesday next. We will then de
cide what to do. Just now I can’t say
what the outcome will be. I
chose Montgomery for the meet
ing place because it is the most central
to all the club cities.
DIDN’T KNOW WHT.
I have no idea why Atlanta dropped
out and, therefore, caauot. express
an opinion on her action, but when
I saw the shore this morning of 30
to 0, I thought something was going to
happen. With Macon and Atlanta out,
two clubs, Savannah and Charleston, will
be at home Monday with no one to play
them. Macon should be in Charleston,
and Atlanta in Savannah. The situation
of the other clubs is Nashville in New
Orleans, and Memphis in Mobile. In the
latter two cities games will be played,
I suppose, according to programme,
but Charleston and Savannah will
have to lay up until we can make some
arrangements at Montgomery Tuesday.
The Macon club may be takeu up by
Columbus or Little Rock. Both cities are
negotiating for the team. What will be
done with Atlanta’s club, if Sullivan per
sists in staying out, I can't say.”
"How has the season paid’” was asked.
‘‘Splendidly,” was the reply. “New
Orleans has been the banner town. The
Picayune was preparing for a special
base ball edition. I believe, but instead of
being what it was intended to be, it Ynay
be the funeral edition of the league.
Nasliville also has paid well. Memphis
has been a good town. Charleston and
Savannah have been all right, and At
lanta would have been, but the people
didn’t seem to take to Ted Sullivan. If
the league continues with only six clubs
it will necessitate long leaps, but maybe
we could make it.”
M’CLOSKEY DIDN’T BELIEVE IT.
Manager McCloskey was much sur
prised when informed of the report re
ceived from President Nicklin, and said:
“I have just received a telegram from
President Nicklin,' he said, "informing
me of the meeting of the league officials
in Montgomery next Tuesday, which he
says will be an important one, but he
gave me no notice whatever of any such
condition of the Atlanta team, and more
over I had a telegram from Sullivan at 3
o’clock this alternoon from Charleston,
stating he would be here sure.
In that telegram Sullivan not only
assured me that he is coming, but urged
me not.to disappoint him, which of course
was unnecessary.
"I am inclined to think Sullivan will be
on hand. Certainly he would not have
sent me that telegram if he had decided
to disband, and, if anything had hap
pened later I believe he would have noti
fied me.
“1 shall wire to Charleston at once,
however, so that I can prepare for any
emergency. In the event Atlanta has
gone under. I will arrange to have Charles
ton come over Monday and play four
games.
LOOKS FOB AN ARRANGEMENT.
“I am inclined to think the league will
easily come to some agreement at next
Tuesday’s meeting, as there are five
towns that want to come In, and should it
prove true that Atlanta has withdrawn,
which I am inclined to doubt, perhhps the
two withdrawing teams could be placed
in other towns. There's Augusta, Colum
bus, Montgomery, Little Rock and Chat
tanooga, all of which would like
to come in the league, and I
don’t think there would be much
difficulty in straightening matters out
with this basis to work on.
SAVANNAH TO STICK IT OCT.
“With Atlrnta and Macon both out,
Savannah would have long jumps, but if
Charleston sticks it out there is no reason
why we should not. and it would be done.
With Augusta in the league things would
work very nicely for us. Nashville, New
Orleans and Memphis have always been
good paying towns, and their clubs aro
playing right along. No doubt therei is
much that is discouraging in the situa
tion, but I look at it hopefully, and ex
pect to see an arrangement made at
the meeting next Thursday whereby
the season caD be carried to a successful
conclusion.”
SAVANNAH GETS THEM.
The three games that were to haye been
played between Savannah and Macon
have all been given to Savannah by Um
pire McLaughlin, by a score of 9too in
each. The last game which was
to have been played yesterday
went to Savannah In a manner
similar to the other two. Man
ager McCloskey had his men on the field,
nine balls were pitched over the plate,
and tho game was declared in Savannah’s
favor. President Nieklin has stated that
these games will count in Savannah's
standing. ~
ATLANTA IB COMING.
Teddie Wires He’s in the League to
Stay.
Manager McCloskey was somewhat
anxious when informed last night of the
report thift Atlanta's team had gone
under. Naturally, having heard from
Sullivan during the afternoon, he did not
give it much credence, though announce
ments of the president are supposed to be
authoritative.
He wired Sullivan last night to know
if there was any truth in the report, and
about 11:30 o’clock received the following
telegram:
Charleston June 23.—J. J McCloskey.
Manager Base Hall Club Savannah: By no
means have we dropped out. Wc aro In to
stay and will be In Savannah to morow.
T*u Sullivan.
This settles the matteV, aud the games
with Atlanta will be played in aue order.
This will be a relief to the base ball fans,
who have been disappointed on the
failure of Macon to appear on tho Savan
nah diamond.
A GAME FORFEITED.
A Team Picked. Up Nevertheless and
Defeated by the Hercules Nine.
The Bay Street Base Ball club forfeited
a game to the Hercules nine yesterday by
a score of 9to 0. As the Bay Streets did
not show up a team was gathered, com
posed of a few members of the Bay
Streets and some other good players.
This team, however, was not able to
handle the Hercules nine, which defeated
it by a score of 12 to 4. The score Is as
follows:
Hercules 6 0 1 0 2 0 2 0 I—l*' *3
Picked team 000002 00 2 4 2 6
Batteries—Readlck and Schreck for Her
cules; Krenson and Connor for picked teem.
The Young Heros won two games from
the Young Savannahs yesterday morn
ing and evening. The batteries were
Ballard and Hayard, and Bail.v and
Bobenson. Evening score—2s to 18.
Morning score—3o to 24.
MEMPHIJ BEATS NEW ORLEANS.
The Pelicans Unable to Hit Safely at
Critical Junctures.
New Orleans, La., June 23.—The locals
lost to-day’s game to the leaders through
their inability to hit at critical junctures.
On the other hand, the visitors batted
Baker hard in the seventh and eighth
innings, and earned their victory. The
fielding of both clubs w’as, at times, sharp
and brilliant. Neal started out to
pitch for the visitors, but he became so
wild in the fourth inning that he was re
placed by Mason. Mason is a New Or
leans boy and tne spectators gave him an
ovation when he toed the rubber. He
pitched a first-class game and was ably
supported. His terrific speed was very
mystifying to the local batsmen. Sandy
McDermott’s decisions were the cause
of several disputes during the game.
He gave the locals a shade the worst of
it, but had he been perfectly correct in
his decisions, the result would, in all
probability, have been the same. The
attendance was fair, the inclement
weather considered.
The score follows:
Memphis 1 0000230 —6 12 2
New Orleans 0003 0000 I—4 8
Batteries—Mason, Neal and Bolau; Peeples
and Baker.
A TIE AT CHARLESTON.
The Home Club Surprised to Find At
lanta in the Game.
Charleston, S. C., June 28.—T0-day's
game was a tie. The Charleston team
started to monkey with the boys from the
windy city and found to their cost that
they were in the game. The feature was
Blackburn’s playing—four times at the
bat, four hits, one a home run and two
two-base hits. Ten innings were played.
The score follows:
Charleston 00021 1010 o—ft l 7
Atlanta 120010100 o—ft 87 8
Batteries—McFarland, Hoover and Fields;
Chard and Boland.
