8 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, the Flash,' and went back to join the 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. MEETING OF ORDINARIES. They Meet in Atlanta July 14 to Dis cuss Various Matters. Judge Hampton L. Ferrill received notice yesterday morning of a convention of the ordinaries of all the Georgia coun ties to be held in Atlanta July 14. Judge Ferrill will probably attend its sessions. The notice states that important busi ness matters are to be brought up for dis cussion. Among other things on foot it is believed that the question of a now fee hill will be discussed. Many of the ordi naries want changes in the present fees and no donbt the legislature will be asked to make some amendments to the present bill or pass anew one. James Shields-Dead. Mr. James Shields died at his residence. No. 33 Broughton street, yesterday, after a lingering illnes. Mr. Shields was a young man of sterling qualities, and liked by all who knew him. He leaves a mother and brother to mourn his loss. His funeral will take pluce this after uooa. 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. The Ladles.

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. Send your boy during the summer vaca tion to Georgia Business College.

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 that the state has been canvassed by some of the deputies for the purpose of securing proxies in order to control the election. There is understood to be some dissatisfaction among the lodges throughout the state over the administration cof the grand lodge affairs. Members of the lodge are disposed to be reticent as to the condition of their affairs, however. There are eleven lodges in Savannah, the delegates of which, with the grand lodge officers, will leave for Macon to-day and to-morrow. Grand Master John D. Campbell has made arrangements with the railroads of the state for reduced rates for the repre sentatives.

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.

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.

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. Umpire- Hogan. ON NORTHERN DIAMONDS.
