Huntington, lnd., May 23 Aided by the hot decisions handed to the Quakers by Umpire Arundel. Huntington had but little difficulty in winning the opening game of the series yesterday afternoon. Mason worked for the visitors and he was batted all over the lot. thirteen hits being made off his delivery. Valanti started in to pitch for the locals but owing to the enthusiastic volley of base hits with which the Quakers greeted him the big fellow was promptly stabled and Wentz chased to the mound. Wentz held the scrappy visitors well in hand the remainder of the game. Tomorrow the largest crowd of the season ia expected to be out. A band concert will enliven the festivities. Richmond Is a great drawing card here. Monday is an open date and It is probable that one of the postponed games of the last Richmond series will be played off. Summary: Huntington An. R. H. O.

EARLHAM AND DEPAUW CLASH THIS AFTERNOON Pennant Hinges on Result of Contest. Earlham will play the first game with De Fauw university at Greencastle today, and a hot contest is looked forward to. De Pauw has been playing a good, steady came all of this season, but the Quakers hone to make the Methodists take the small end of the score. Of the four games which Earlham has played this year, the Quakers have taken off the honors ! in two of them, and by winning the game with Depauw today, Earlham will have a good chance at the pennant for this season. In case De Pauw wins the uakers will not only lost their chance for the pennant, but PePauw will have everything her own- wry the rest of the season. Coach Vail has had the men cut to hard practice every evening, and if White is accorded any ; support whatever in the way of good batting or stealing bases the game is already won for Earlham.
Affairs of the
(By Tort.) Wherever the Quakers go they seem to have the luck of running afoul the worst umpire that the league has on its payroll. Richmond players state that Arundal was so rank in his work yesterday, that Moon-, in comparison, was a second Jack Sheridan. After a long layoff the Richmond high school baseball team went to New Cast If this morning for a game this afternoon with the New CaMlo high school team. The g;ime between the Beailviews and the Nationals at Athletic park tomorrow afternoon should attract a l good sizoa crowd. jjotn teams pm up a fast article of ball. There was a sad looking Lunch of fans about the score boards last night. They were confident that Richmond would win from Huntington because of the splendid showing-made by Rich-' mond against Muncie. You never can tell in baseball. Brown will work aeaintt Huntingiton this afternoon and if the big fellow is feeling right the Miamis have a good heating in score for them. Fleming is billed to pitch the Sunday game at. Huntington. Rube Waddell has" jumped the St. Loiib; Browns for the Philadelphia Union League club. This is an outlaw organization. The same day the ec WEALTH IS USELESS i Father's Money Will Not Secure the Release of Shurley Grimes. NOW CONFINED IN JAIL. Although his father has sent money to pay his hotel bill, the amount of his fine and the expenses of his return tO his home at Portsmouth, Ohio, Shur- j ley Grimes will have to serve his son-j tence in the county jail upon conviction of the charge of beating a board! bill. It. has developed since the arrest j of the voting man that his father is j wealthy and the son could have obtained money upon request. Judge Converse bus refused to release Grimes from jail. The jail sentence was imposed in addition to a fine. In speaking of the case this morn ing, Judge Converse said the fine and I sentence were imposed as punishment There was a deliberate attempt made by Grimes to leave the hotel at 2 o'clock in the morning. The police are authority for the statement. Grimes was given $50 by his father before he left Portsmouth for this city and the money was squandered. Grimes came here as a cvnival promoter. When released from jail he will be given the money sent for his return home. ANOTHER CHANGE OF VENUE FOR CASE Maxwell Briscoe Case Sent to Randolph County. Another change of venue has been asked for and granted in the case of Gibbins vs. the Maxwell, Briscoe Company of Now Castle. The case was filed originally in the Henry circuit court and was sent to the Wayne circuit court upon application of the plaintiff for a change of venue. The defendant, filed a motion for a change thi morning and the case was sent to the Randolph circuit court by Judge Fox. BANKRUPTCY REFEREE PRESIDES IN COURT Rost & Marshall Case Occupies Attention.

Peter Wise, living near Omega, had the surprise of his life when he pulled a sitting hen off the nest that she had made in the edge of a strawstack. He had noticed the fowl sitting there for some time and began to suspect that she was sitting on a doorknob or a nest of spoiled eegs. When he lifted her up. instead of a brood of chickens or a batch of spoiled esgs. there was a bunch of snakts, little sleek black fellows, each about seven inches long and wriggling furiously. Mr. Wise promptly dispatched the snakes, eleven in number, and the hen was disposed of by having her neck wrung and buried. Mr. Wise said that he had no use for a fool hen tiiat could not tell the difference between a snake's ess and her own product.

The red top gets mixed up in as many of these stunts as some Infielders in th's league. The attempt of the allege, ' purity" element in Muncie to stop Sunday base ball, will, in all probability, meet with no success. Its a safe bet that the MuncK-Yan Wert game will be pulled off tomorrow. Cincinnati won another game yesterday and sti'.l President Hermann wants to break up this winning combination by trading I-obert for a couple of St. Louis pitchers.

Owens stated in circuit court this morning her husband, Walter Owens, deserted her about three years ago and never since has made any provision for her.

DEATH WAS F NATURAL CAUSES Coroner Says Scherer Died of Paralysis of the Heart. By the finding of Dr. J. M. Wampler, acting county coroner, August Scherer is declared to have met oeath as the result, of natural causes. The coroner's verdict has been placed on file in the office of the county clerk. It was reported after the death of Mr. Scherer that he had committed suicide. The coroner places the. causes of death to paralysis of the heart. The testimony of Mrs. Helen Scherer, widow of the deceased, is embodied in the report of the inquest. Mrs. Scherer said her husband had seemed ! depressed and melancholy for some ! time. She said she found no bottle of any kind of .poison any place about ! the room in which Mr. Scherer was ' found dead, nor any place about the house. QUEER SITUATION E CASE Complaint Not Signed Properly State Shows. The case of William H. Wilson, vs. Emma Wilson was celled for trial in the Wayne circuit court this morning but not heard. The plaintiff is seeking divorce. The prosecuting attorney as representative of the state and the defendant moved to suppress the publication and the court sustained the motion. Medsker and Medsker of Cambridge City are attorneys for the plaintiff. The complaint was drawn by one member of the firm and the other signed the affidavit as to the ; non residence of the defendant. To i sign such an affidavit a disinterested 1 person is required by law. The prose- : cutor held that as a member of the i legal firm representing the plaintiff ' Bert Medsker, who signed the affida- ! vit. is an interested nerson. CAMPBELL TO SPEAK. Rev. J. '0.

TRADE IS SHOWING BIG IMPROVEMENT All Departments Present an Increase at Present Time, Says Dun.
ORDERS ARE NUMEROUS. RETAIL TRADE HAS SHOWN DIMINISH M ENT IN SOME LOCALI TIES OWING TO WEATHER, BUT IS GENERALLY SATISFACTORY. New York. May 23. R. G. Dun & Co's weekly review of trade today says: Encouraging reports predominate, and for the first time in six months the indications of improvement are veil distributed throughout all departments. Gains are small in many cases and variable weather has retarded retail trade at some points, while com parisons with last year still show i decreases, but as compared with pre- j ceding months, satisfaction is found : in all the lines. Orders are increased, j Ixi wer prices for pig iron brought out j a large tonnage of new business, and : furnace operators did not find it nee- j essary to make further concessions, al- j tnough several prominent consumers i are waiting for still better terms. Buying was most liberal in foundry iron and several contracts covered deliveries far into the future. As accumulated stocks are reduced, there iz a disposition to enlarge output, making it probable that the active capacity on June 1, will show a substantial increase over the low point touched on May 1. CAPTURED BY A TIGER. The Fearful Experience of an English Sportsman. It is not often that a person who has been in the claws of a tiger can tell later how the experience seemed to him. John Bradley, an English sportsman, had the good luck to escape with his life from such a predicament and in his "Narrative of Travel and Sport" tells what the sensation was like. He was hunting tigers la the eustern part of Burma when he met with the adventure. Two other Englishmen were with him at the time: We marched along carelessly, without observing order or caution, and were not prepared to take advantage of Akbar'a warning when he excla'med, "Beware, sahib:" and a full grown tiger weut past us at a gallop. A straggling volley was fired after It, and, althougti evidently not struck, the beast stopped and, rearing up on its hind legs, clawed the bark of a tree just as a cat scratches the leg of a chair or a table. Mr. Grant and I fired simultaneously, but without effect, and before a Min,ln,f r,t .on,ra'a tntonHAn sA time to flash through my mind I was down under its paws. Seizing me by the left thigh, the tiger shook me as a dog shakes a rat and then, growling horribly, dragged me at a tremendous rate through the thick undergrowth of the forest. 1 heard the frightened shouts of my companions and the report of several shots, and then a dizziness came over me, but I did not lose consciousness. As 1 was jolted through the forest 1 several times caught hold of the trees, but the tiger, growling fiercely, shook me free in an instant. All this time, although quite calm and collected, 1 felt a strong desire to preserve my existence and never for a moment experienced thnt apathy with regard to the danger that some persons have described under similar circumstances. How long I was In the Jaws of this brute 1 cannot tell. It seemed to me an age before the creature stopped. My companions afterward declared that I had been dragged at least half a mile from the spot where I was first seized. They followed as fast as they could run and, although 1 was unaware of It at the time, never lost sight of the beast. To this circumstance I undoubtedly owe my life, for had there been any delay in rendering me assistance it must have been fatal to me. The moment the tiger halted It released my thigh and seemed to be attracted bv the anoroach of my companions. although as yet I did not see them myself. Taking advantage of
this release, I tried to escape to the , frequently and was looked upon as one shelter of some tall bushes near at ; f the city's most accomplished muslhand. ' cians. She stood high in the social In an instant and with a terrible roar rank The plaintiff did not ask the the creature pounced upon me, seizing : CUbtody of ORe child, a daughter, Mar-
me this time oy ine suouiuer ana at the same time lacerating my chest with its claws. A shot was fired, and I heard the bullet whistle overhead. Fear of hitting me had caused them to aim too high. A second and third shot were equally unsuccessful, and the tiger, na::im releasing me. began to lick up the blood which oozed through my jacket. I began to feel very faint and could not suppress a groan. Several times the tiger dabbed his paws, apparently in play, about my face, but did not use its claws, fortunately for me. Presently the beast seemed to be seized with a sudden rage and began to spit like an angry cat at some one approaching, whose footsteps I could hear, but whom I could not see owing to my position, for I was lying Cat on my back. There was the sharp bang of a ri2e close to my bead, a beary -weight fell across me. and then I comprehended that my friend was pulling me from undT th r' " -v-r nf the tiger chased two bronze busts exhibited in this year's salon by Andrew O'Connor of Massachusetts.

The court ruled in favor of the plaintiff in the case of Harry C. Downing vs. Lulu J.
