kD order was issued today by the lost
I road’s in accordance with the de-
toa 0 f the court, putting into effect the
*ott against the Seaboard Insofar os
* h rates are concerned. The Soirth-
, Railway and Steamship Association
■ms a great victory In this, just as
f aboard claimed a victory in the in-
3ciion against the boycott on local traf.
The associatton declared a boycott
the on the charge of
^ ra tes against the associated fines.
Stuboard attempted to thwart the
Ott by enjoining t2i- Western and
nt fc, which is leased by the Nash-
C'hattanoo^a and St. Louis, the
a being advanced that by a private
tract between these companies and
Sc-xboard the same advantages in
should be always allowed the Sea-
jrd as any other road enjoying the use
the Western and Atlantic’s termUnaoi
Atlanta.
'udse Lumpkin leaglixed the action of
Southern Railway and Steamship As-
iation according to the claims of the
elation when he ruled that the West-
and Atlantic could only be enjoined
m boycotting insofar as the local bus-
originating on the road was oon-
I. On business originating beyond
ittanooga, the Western and Atlantic
apply the boycott rules and refuse
ttlng arrangements with the Sea-
lard.

tommlssloner Stahlnmn of the South-

of £10,000. Ton skilled workmen were
brought from Ohio and l'e.unryivunta to
operate the machinery. Tilc old em
ploye* objected to the employment of
these men. and bad feeCtng aroee. This
rooming three of the old employes, with
one Hendricks as their leader met three
of the new men at the company's store
by chance. Some hot word* were spoken
mien Headricks drew a revolver and
ahot one of the otiher party named Mor

ting Hendricks and fatally wounding hint.
He lived but a short time. Morgan and
the other two left, and «oen afterward
were pursued by a party of thirty-live
nrtoers, Who were sweortng vengeance
against them If co-ught. At 6 o'clock this
evening nothing had been hoard of them

AJl the miners went out of the mines,
quitting work. There are about 309 of
rhem. Further trouble Is feared and the
supsrMt araderrf ot the mine# was In
Knoxville this afternoon to make ar

Philadelphia—Attendance
Figures Were High#
Washington, April W.—Tie formal
o/pening of the champioilehlp ot the na
tional league and American Aseoo.alton
of Baseball Clubs yesterday was one
of surprises. Some of those surprises
■were gratifying la their effects while
others were sad disappointment*. The
one of tihese which tilled the hearts of
the baseball magnates with Joy w«t
when they learsnd from the five league
cities In which games were play'd, the
atteudanoe figures, it seems scarcely
possible yet R Is none the less true, that
more than 70,000 persons pall admission
to live baseball games yesterday. The
smallest crowd was at Lou.sville. who
played Pttl«burg at wh’ch gnie there
were very clore to 8 000 admissions, and
to the other four cities the figures reach
ed upivurils until they found their cli
max It the attend tvee at New iork,
where 25,004 people thronged the Polo
grounds to witness the first struggle
of She season between those old-time
rivals the Giants and the so-culled
Bt'ldegroo.ru irom Brooklyn. That
these figjios are a certain sign of the
mortt successful season 111 the history
of tlhe national game, none will deny.
Therefore are the club owners happy,
and smml wonder Is It. It seems loo
bad that the Boston* could not have
opened thell' season 0.0 tho eatnc -lay, ao
aa to swell the number. However, to
day beln a holiday In the old Bay
state, and «s tne senators always put
up a stiff game against the bton eaters,
there wdl be a crowd at the opening
game lu that cRv today which will add
to the gratification which all true
friends of the game feel.
The cMsatppolnttng feature* of the sea
son’s opening are confined to the cities
Mf New York, Baltimore, Pdttstourg,
Cleveland and 6t. Louis, the teams of
which lost dhe games they played. Thl*
dlsappetlnlumcnt will meet surely be
short-lived, however, for these teams

In playtng strength and as soon as they
win a game or two, their friends will
readily forgive and forget all about
their first "fall down." In the aev.-n

Abandoned.
Waiihlng'ton, Apri 18.—Secretary CarlluN
has decided that the prosecution against*
the Western Hunk Note Company of C*i4*
ca*o for printing Mississippi state war
rants be discontinued. This action is
taken upon the recommendation of United
State* Dtfttrtnt Attorney John C. Black,

os the company has discontinued ths
printing of tlhe warrants. The bank note
company, it Is stipulated,will have to pay
the costs.
Borne six months ago the state of Mis
sissippi undertook to Issue paper money.
The money was seised by Secret Service
Chief Hnsen and Governor fttone and
other stats officials were arreerted for vlo*
tatlm? the law which restricts to tha
United States the authority to Issue
money or to eanotion its use. The stata
authorities resented, this contention and
then the government turned Its attention
toward chose who were printing the war*
rants. There are several suits now pend,
lng In St. Louis, Cincinnati and Jackson,
Mtss., arising out of the case, both
atrnflnfft the state officials snd those who
printed the warrants an# pa*»c<] them.
Ail theee cases will now probably be
dropped.
