Where They Play To-Bay.
San Antonio at Galveston.
Austin at Houston.
Fort Worth at Dallas.
Denison at Sherman.
The clubs stand the same as they did
yesterday, only the averages of the tirst di-
vision have gone up and those of the sec-
ond have, as a consequence, decreased.
To-morrow new series are opened all
over the state, Galveston going to Denison.
It will be thirteen days before she returns.
In the meantime she meets the Indians,
the Professors, the Navigators and the
Panthers. When she returns the same
tof.ms come to these grounds.
To-day San Antonio w ill play here again,
and the game will be called at 4 o'clock in
order to allow the teams to catch the train.
Galveston 10, San Antonio 2.
There was another walk-over at Beach
park yesterday afternoon, and the Sand
Crabs again did the walking. The poor
Bronchos! They seem to have lost all spir-
its, and toward the end of the game the
locals had them * standing on their hind
legs.
The gam9 was a listless one, it being
simply a case of better all around work by
the Sand Crabs. While San Antonio had
but two hits less than the Wonders, still
Fhe did not bunch them together at oppor-
tune times. Again, several costly errors
cost them some runs.
Page was in the box for the locals and
pitched a splendid game
'Manager Brophy says the Bronchos will
be strengthened soon, and then look out!
To-day's game is the last played before
the northern tour. Time will be called at
4 o'clock in order to allow the men to
make .in connections.

A CELESTIAL STOKM
^Occasioned by Manager Brophey At-
tirntt a .\e«ro in a Chinese Suit.
Soo Lee is a heathen Chinee.
He is 11 years old and occupies the posi-
tion of mascot for the Galveston baseball
club. Common folk have no idea what
weight the position of a mascot brings
with it. Everyone can't be a mascot. Billy
Work has a Chinaman and, as above said,
his name is Soo Lee.
Soo hails from Austin-by-the-dam and
his parents thank the Lord for their daily
bread as a result of being able to take in
washing. , . , ,
Soo is a nice little boy and he's the apple t
of llillv Work's eye. The Galveston mag-
nate had great trouble in engaging Soo,
but finally managed to make a deal with
his celestial parents and now Soo isn't
writing Myographies any more which rep-
resent shirts, socks and other apparel
usually left in a laundry.
Taylor, captain; S. Weinstein. mascot.
Napoleon McCIoskey Released.
Louisville, Ky., May 4.—The directors of
the Louisville baseball club to-night de-
cided to release Manager McCloskey. The
team's poor showing has been attributed
to MeCioskey's bad management, and a
new man will be secured. Captain O'Brien
will have charge of the team until a new
manager is selected.
Hropliy's Kick.
Manager Brophy last night called at The
News office and registered a kick. He
claims that when Garson of Houston was
down here Sunday he tried to induce his
shortstop. Griffin, to go with Houston. Mr.
Brophy is very angry ami says he wants
to have nothing more to do with Mr. Gar-
son.
Hammered Them to Pieces.
The game of ball played Sunday between
the carpenters and plumbers was won by
the carpenters by a score of 15 to 2. Bat-
tery fur the carpenters Vordenbaum and
Helfensteln ami for- the plumbers Luitich
and Dimney.
Austin's Threat.
Austin, Tex., May 4.—The baseball cranks
here are so disgusted with the Austin ball

Drawing: on Chicago.
Houston. Tex., May 4.—It is reliably re-
ported to-night that Blackburn of the Aus-

FENSE—WHAT W. A TRUSTY'
TESTIFIED.
AN ENTIRELY NEW STORY.
condition of Jesus a lance was thrust In
I his side, but no signs of life appeared.
Cicero says the very name of the cross
, should be removed afar, "not only from
I the body, but from the thoughts, the eyes,
j the ears of Roman citizens, for of all these
! things, not only the actual occurrence ami
j endurance, but the very contingency and
expectation, nay. the mention itself, are
unworthy of a Roman citizen and a free
man." Hence the force of St. Paul's fre-
quent allusions to the humiliation which
Christ endured when he suffered death
upon the cross.
It was precisely this idea which made the
early Christians seize upon the cross as the
emblem of their faith. That which had
been the sytubol of shame now became
their glory* The instrument of Christ's
passion, by hi.s death upon It, became hal-
lowed for all time.
Cross Examination of the Witness

Newport. Ky., May 4.—A surprise was
sprung in the Scott Jackson trial to-day,
that of W. A. Trusty, who testified that on
January 31 he drove an old man, whom he
supposed was a doctor, out to the Fort
Thomas region, where the beheaded girl
was found. This witness only knew one
person in this connection, and that was a ! merits may be made for him accept the

Affairs of the 'Frisco.
The sale of the St. Louis and San Fran-
cisco line will take place at the Chouteau
avenue crossing in this city on Saturday,
June 27, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
It is rumored that the president of the St.
Louis.and San Francisco after the company
is reorganized will be General E. F. Wins-
low, its former president, who has been In
Paris since he resigned the presidency some
time ago. Tt is understood that he refused
some good offers since he resigned from

GALVESTON'S MASCOT.
No. the little heathen is now a full-
Hedged mascot and his position is second
in importance only to that of Grover
Cleveland's. Like that of Grover's, great
importance is attached to his work and
on him depends not the fate of a nation,
but what is more, the fate of a ball team.
Ever since he has mascoted the Wonders
they have won every game. Yesterday his
charm came near being broken and a.s a
result a little celestial storm was brewing
at Beach park. Soo threatened to do The
News reporter bodily harm if he stated the
facts in the public prints, but the public
is always inquisitive as to the doings and
comings of great people.
Work, when lie signed Soo, found him
attired in the garb of an American citizen.
Billy is a shrewd man ana )»'■ argued un-
less he decHed the Chinaman in an oriental
costume hii worth wouldn't be felt. The
Chinaman didn't agree and finally a com-
promise was effected by which Billy was
to buy him a suit, which he was to wear
during the games only.
Forthwith Work went to the best liaba-
daslu-r of pigtail clothing in the city of
Austin and had the little fellow a pair of
pants made of blue goods and a loosely
fitting regulation Chinee coat of variegated
colors, with lea leaf decorations.
Soo wore the suit at every game and
yesterday when after the sixth inning Gal-
veston had ten runs to San Antonio's nix,
lie thought he hail done his duty and took
his eelestial costume off and layed it on
the players' bench.
Soo hail scarcely left the bench with his
attire on it when an inspiration came to
Manager Pete Brophy. Pete is Irish and
com ■•piently Soo ought to excuse what fol-
lowed on this score. Brophy argued with
him Ii if a Chinaman wears this suit and
wins why can't a nigger?
Straight way he hunted up a little coon
a.s black as the ace of spades. Giving
Rastus a. rusty 5 cent piece he quickly got
him to slide into the clothes and. mirable
dictu, the ( harm was broken and San An-
tonio touched the rubber down twice.
In an instant the cry echoed ami re-
echoed around the Held: "San Antonio
scored twice. A coon has got on Chink's
suit." No sooner did the cry reach Soo's
ears than he rushed out to the bench and,
coming up to the black little Imp, nrnde
him aetually pale by crying in a threaten-
ing maniii r: "Hi! fIi! iiik< off Them
clothes." And it was wonderful how quick-
ly tin negro disrobed.
But Soo was not
the vendetta was i ^
t" Manager Brophy, he shook his linger
In that gentleman's face and cried: "lou
mean man. 1 no wear that suit any more.
You pay me five tollar or I lick you." But
Mr. Brophy was too stunned 'to speak.
Then, Soo seeing that abuse went for
naught, because he did become abusive, be-
gan to cry. First he orled in Chinese.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS.
Freshmen Won the llace.
Cambridge. Mass.. May 4.—The annual
Harvard class rat es on the Charles river
to-night resulted in one of the biggest sur-
prises in years. The freshmen, for the sec-
ond time in the annals of Harvard aquatics,
won quite handily, rowing with a high
stroke and excellent water managership.
The senior crew, with Its six ex-varsity
oarsmen, was the prime feature. The fresh-
men were not even expected to finish third.
The crews got away at 6 o'clock, the fresh-
men and ihe senior crews taking the lead.
The course was down the river one mile
and seven-eighths t<> Union boat house.
The fiesnmen immediately hit up a fast
stroke, ranging from 3D to 39 per minute,
and they kept it up in gallant form, finish-
ing strong and fresh, winning the race
with ease in the very fast time of 9 min-
utes. 28 seconds, which beats the record by
ten seconds. The juniors led the Sopho-
mores at the start, but were overhauled
and passed, with the freshmen an easy
winner. It was a pretty finish between
tlie other crews. The sophomores were just
a length behind the seniors, and the junior
shell was overlapped by the sophomore
boats. The winning crew was made up
in this order: Stroke, E. A. Bordman; No.
7. C. H. McDuflie; No. 6. C. H. Thompson;
No. 5. M. Donald, captain; No. 4, J. E.
Perkins; No. 3. B. H. White; No. 2, F. R.
Swift: bow, H. 11. Biddies; cockswain, F.

Damage in Tyler.
Colmesneil, Tyler Co., Tex., May 3.—A
heavy rain storm, accompanied by wind
and hail, fell here, beginning about 6 p.
m. yesterday and lasting nearly two hours.
The hall came in three installments, at
intervals of about twenty minutes, each
fall being thicker and heavier than the
preceding one. Great damage was done
to tender vegetation. Cotton crops are
said to be ruined on some of the farms.
Where cotton had not been reduced to a
stand the damage was not so great. Re-
ports from Mobile and Chester are to the
effect that hailstones fell as large as goose
eggs, and completely covered the ground,
ruining advanced cotton crops and great-
ly damaging all vegetation. The combined
fall of rain and hail here was 2.34 inched.
Struck by Lightning'.
Ivilleen, Bell Co., Tex., May 4.—For an
hour or more Saturday night the elements
were almost a solid sheet of fire, amTHora
time it seemed that the artillery of heaveS
was turned loose In this direction. The
home of Postmaster French was struck by
lightning, tearing off the shingles along
the comb, tracing valleys and gutters and
melting them at different points, until it
came to the end. where it made a leap for
the wooden cistern, melting the hoops in
places and splitting the staves on all sides.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
Damage in Goliad.
Berelair, Goliad Co., Tex., May 3.—A most
destructive rain, wind and hail storm vis-
ited this section last night, demolishing
windmills, uprooting trees, blowing down
corn and outhouses. The wind came from
the north and blew a perfect gale for some
thirty minutes. No fatalities have been
reported as yet. Early corn was ready to
tassel, and fears are expressed that It will
not straighten. Much cotton will have to
be replanted.
High Wind and llain.
Beeville, Tex., May 3.—A glorious rain,
accompanied by a severe wind and electric
storm, prevailed here Saturday night for
about half an hour. Citizens were consid-
erably alarmed. No damage in town other
than the loss of a few shade trees and
breaking of some telephone poles. The
rain was welcomed, especially by the stock-
men. It is reported general and heavy.
Corn will probably be Injured some by the
high wind.
Wind and llaii.
Garrison, Nacogdoches Co., Tex., May 3.
—A very heavy wind and hail storm passed
through the northern portion of this coun-
ty late yesterday evening, doing considera-
ble damage to growing crops. The wind
blew down a great deal of timber and
fencing. No fatalities are reported. A slow,
steady rain has been falling to-day. The
farmers were beginning to need it in some
places.
Hail at Mobile.
Mobile, Tyler Co., Tex., May 2.—This
evening about 5 o'clock a heavy rain fell
here, followed by the most severe hail
storm known to the old settlers. Some of
the stones were an inch In diameter. Con-
siderable damage was done to gardens and
truck patches, and forward corn Is liter-
ally shreded. No reports have arrived
from the surrounding country.
Damaged Crops.
Granger. Williamson Co., Tex.. May 2.—
The wind, rain and hail storm of yesterday
did considerable damage to the volunteer

woman with whom he had been acquainted
six years, whose name was Georgie Baker,
alias Emma Evans. He knew nothing of
the old "doctor" and the young cab driver;
he did not even know the number of the
house from which the corpse was taken;
he only knew the house was on the south
side of George street near Elm street. All
other testimony was insignificant compared
with this.
Wm. R. Trusty of Urbana, 111., was a
brakeman on the Southern railroad within
six years before the time of Pearl Bryan's
murder, lie testified to meeting Emma
Evans at 10 o'clock on the night of the
murder. They were joined by an old doc-
tor. wbo was a friend of the woman.
Through these parties Trusty was employed
to drive a cab. They stopped at a house
on George street, in the Tenderloin district,
where the doctor carried the body of a
woman from the house to the cab. Then he
drove across the Newport bridge and
stopped near the place where Pearl Bryan's
body was found the next morning. The
old man carried the body across the fence
and afterward they drove back to Cincin-
nati. Trusty testified that they drove a
gray horse and a rig similar to the one
that Jackson described. The old doctor,
whose name Trusty never learned, gave
him *1" for the Job. Trusty afterward re-
turned to his home In Urbana. 111., where
he told the story about this drive.
The witness identified certain letters. One
was to Pearl Bryan's father from W. T.
Trusty, the father of the witness, stating
that Trusty and his son were related to a
detective, ami that they could solve the
mvstery of Pearl Bryan's murder. Mr.
Bryan referred the letters to Mr. Hayes, his
attorney. Mr. Hayes afterward received
letters from Trusty, soliciting employment
for himself, telling him that the defense
would prove that Pearl Bryan died in Cin-
cinnati, and that he and his son and their
cousin, who is a detective, could thwart
this evidence
presidency of the reorganized company, as
hi* is thoroughly conversant with the prop-
erty and also with the Atchison. If Gen-
eral Winslow takes the presidency it is
confidently said that he will be acceptable
to all bondholders.
A Boston special says that the Boston
representatives In the Atchison reorganiza-
tion committee and directory all protested
against the giving up of the 'Frisco prop-
erty and are on record in such protests.
The foreign representatives of the Atchison
were the objectors to the 'Frisco property,
not especially, however, to the 'Frisco as a
property, but they believed in the policy of
restricting the Atchison operations. The
main argument was that It would take
$4,000,000 to reorganize the property, and
that the Atchison had not that amount of
money and could not raise it.
Verdict for Breach of Contract.
New York. May 4.-William M. Welghtley
has been awarded a verdict of $54,000 in his
suit in the supreme court against Sylvester
H. Kneeland for breach of contract. The
plaintiff alleged that the defendant pur-
chased from him an agreement of sale of
the Texas Trunk railway company for the
consideration of $r>0.'MK). He received $25,000
in cash, the contract being that the balance
should be paid in the stock of the railway
when reorganized. He also claimed $15,000,
which he said was paid to the defendant on
an agreement that he was to be allotted
one-twentieth part of the capital,stock. The
defendant averred that these agreements
were conditional uuon the title to the rail-
way being perfected, which was never done.
Cotton Belt Cluifiges.
An Associated Press dispatch from St.

that the Cotton Belt has abolished the of-
fice of general traffic manager since A. S.

tion of the Southwestern traffic association.

The Way to Help Your Stom-
ach Out of a Difficulty.
When you are taken sick with pain in
your stomach or chest, nausea, vomiting,
headache, dizziness, nervousness, neuralgia,
flatulence, constipation, mental depression,
weakness, languor, loss of appetite and
other similar symptoms, you are infected
with the poisons of undigested food.
Your s.omach needs help.
A dime sperit for a sample bottle of the
Shaker Digestive Cordial will show you
whether or not to expect help from that
source.
If you really are a dyspeptic, it will re-
lieve you after a few doses, if it does, keep
on till you're cured. If not, don't take any
more, you're no dyspeptic.
Indigestion or dyspepsia is a dreadful dis-
order, all the more that so few people be-
lieve in its dnngerousness.
That is because they don't die of Indiges-
tion. but of rheumatism, consumption,
pneumonia and other diseases which they
would never have "caught" if their bodies
hadn't been starved and weakened with in-
digestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial acts on the food
in your stomach and helps the digestive
Juices to dissolve it. In this way it aids
your stomach to do Its work without effort
and creates new strength and life for your
whole body.

timony. The prosecution presented evidence
that Wm. Trusty had been under sentence
ami sensational evidence was produced
about the father and son and Seward, espe-
cially in this case.
Trusty was kept on the stand much of
the afternoon under a severe cross-examin-
ation. He saitl his father was a third cou-
sin to John Seward, or Svard, as he some-
times spells his name. He identified a
photograph of John Seward as the same
person as an engraving on the outside of a
pamphlet in the hands of the prosecution,
which pamphlet was entitled "The Confes-
sion of John Svard of His Complicity in a
Murder."
It developed in the testimony of this wit-
ness tiiat John Seward had served one term
in the Kentucky penitentiary. Further-
more. it transpired that John Seward had
resided at Urbana ip February and talked
with witness, Wm. R. Trusty, and his
father, Wm. Trusty, about this murder.
Furthermore, letters were shown from Wm.
Trusty, sr.. to Mr. A. S. Bryan and to
Bryan's attorney, Mr. Hayes, in February,
offering for a sure consideration to thwart
the defense in its purpose to procure evi-
dence to prove Pearl Bryan died in Cincin-
nati and was taken to Kentucky and be-
headed. It was also shown that John Sew-
ard had coached the witness, George Day-
ton, who made a complete flunk on the
stand this afternoon. They reproduced
written directions prepared by Seward and
given to Dayton to testify to. He failed to
deliver the goods when the time came.
The prosecution anticipated this testimony
and witnesses produced by Seward, and
have counteracted witnesses' testimony.
To-morrow and Wednesday will be field
days.
DEATH OS THE CROSS.
How It \\ us Intlicted In the Time of
the Hoiiiiiiih.
New York Herald.
It was only natural that in the early and
mediaeval Christians, finding the cross a
symbol of life among the nations of an-
tiquity, should look curiously Into the Old
Testament to see whether there were not
foreshadowlngs In It of "the wood where-
by righteousness cometh." Nor was their
search unrewarded. In Isaac leaving the
wood of the sacrifice they saw prefigured
both Christ and the eroSs. They saw the
cross in Moses with arms expanded on the
mount, in the pole, with transverse bars,
upon which was wreathed the brazen ser-
pent. in the two sticks gathered by the
widow of Sarpeta. But plainest of all they
read it in Ezeklel, ix. 4-H, "Go through the
midst of the city, through the midst of

Overton. Rusk Co.—A line rain here,
which will be of great benefit to crops of
all kinds. The dry weather was beginning
to be injurious to cotton and corn. The
"^ain may be too late to be of much benefit
to the oat crop.
New Birmingham, Cherokee Co.—Satur-
day night an excellent rain fell, which was
badly needed, but It was accompanied with
considerable wind, which blew down many
fences. Farmers are progressing finely
with their crops, and they are looking well
for the season. Cotton Is up and there Is
generally a fine stand, and It Is now being
chopped out
Syrians, and later among the Romans. It
was punishment inflicted on slaves, rob-
bers, assassins and rebels, among which
last Jesus was reckoned, on account of his
proclaiming himself king, or Messiah. The
person sentenced to this punishment was
stripped of his clothes, except a covering
around the loins. In a state of nudity he
was beaten with whips. Such was the
severity of thin flagellation that numbers
died of it. Jesus was crowned with thorns,
and was made the subject of mockery; but
insults of this kind were not common. In
tiiis instance they were owing to the petu-
lance of the Roman soldiers.
The criminal, having been beaten, was
condemned to the further suffering of car-
rying the cross to the place of punishment,
which was commonly a hill near the public
highway and out of the city. The place of
ciTculixlon at Jerusalem was a hill to the
northwest of the city. The cross, other-
wise t ailed the "post —the unnropltious or
ominous tree—consisted of a piece of wood
reeled perpendicularly and Intersected by
..nothcr one at right angles, near the top.
The crime for which the culprit suffered
was inscribed on the transverse piece near
the top of the perpendicular one. There is
no mention made by the ancient writers of
anything on which the feet of the crucified
person rested. It is known, however, that
near the base of the perpendicular beam
there projected a piece oi wood, on which
he sat, and which answered as a support
to the body since the weight of the latter
might have otherwise torn the hands by
the nails driven through them.
The cross, when driven firmly in the
ground, rarely exceeded ten feet in height.
The victim was elevated ami his hands
were bound by a rope around the trans-
verse beam ami nailed through the palm.
Ills feet were also nailed. He thus re-
mained fastened until death ended his suf-
ferings. While he exhibited any signs of
life he was watched by guards; but they
left him when it appeared that he was
dead. If there was no prospect that the
victim would die on the day of execution
the executioners hastened the end by kind-
ling a fire at the foot of the cross so as to
suffocate him with smoke, or by letting
loose upon him wild beasts, or occasional-
ly. wheti ill particular haste, by breaking
his bones upon the cross with a mallet, as
upon an anvil. It was at one time custom-
ary to offer the criminal, before the com-
mencement of his sufferings, a medicated
drink, compounded of wine ami myrrh.
The object of this was to produce intoxica-
tion and thereby lessen the suffering.
Crucifixion was not only the most igno-
minious, but by fur the most cruel, mode
of punishment. The victim sometimes lived
until the seventh day. The thieves who
were executed at the same time with our
Saviour were broken with mallets on the
same day. and in order to ascertain tna

Harper's Round Table.
One of the great advantages of the game
Is that you can play and have good sport
even if there is no one to go around with
you. You can try to beat your own best
previous record, and, If possible, to lower
the best score ever made by anybody over
the course. If you succeed In this you
will have gained the proud distinction of
holding the "record for the course." An-
other good modification of the game is the
"foursome." where there are two partners
on each side, striking alternately at the
same ball. 'But the ordinary match is
against one adversary, ami there is no rea-
son why a girl may not play an interesting
game against her brother. She may not be
able to hit the ball quite so far, but once
near the hole, where accuracy and not
strength Is required, she should be able
to hold her own, and It Is an old saying
that many a game is won on the putting-
green. Or again, she may be hanaicappi'd
by an allowance of so many strokes, for
In golf, as in billiards, handicapping does
not detract from the interest as it does
In tennis. There Is no fun playing tennis
against a very much weaker Opponent, for
you win rather on your adversary's mis-
takes than by your own skill, and this is
fatal to true sport.
Some nitu arc af raid
of death, some are
not. Most of us
would rather not meet
the grim destroyer to-
day. We would'rather
put it off until to-mor-
row, or until next
year. Mere wishes do
not count for much in
the matter. A man
may not want to die.
He may not want to
be sick. He may wish
and hope and pray
that he will not be
sick nor meet death,
but wishing and hoping won't help him.
It is what lie does, and not wnat he
wishes that serve his purpose. If a man
is losing flesh, and is nervous, irritable,
sleepless and debilitated, he may wish he
would get well, but one bottle of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
do more than an ocean of wishes. If a
man is on the way to consumption, he
should make a stop as quickIv as pos-
sible. He should put on brakes. He
needn't be afraid he has consumption if
he will do the right thing—if he will
just take the ri^ht medicine The "Gold*
