J. Browne of Spokane Goods League in l Earnest. 1 The J. J. O'Brien Team Have Set Their Hearts on Winning. But the Newman & Levinsons Have Scores of Pretty Girls Work- ing for Them. The employes of J. J. O'Brien & Co. and those of Newman & Levinson have en- tered upon a spiritea tickei-selling con- | respective baseball teams on the 20th, when they will play a game to aid the | families of the heroic firemen who lost their lives in the Folsom-street fire. The young ladies at Newman & Levinson's | have been especially active. FEach is try- | inz to outdo her competitor in selling | tickets, and one would think thata prize | had been offered to the person disposing | of the greatest number. They have | pressed into the good service their broth- | ers, sisters, uncies, aunts, cousins and cousins’ cousins, and their unhappy sweet- hearts are vending tickets frantically, as the only condition upon which the fair charity workers will smile upon them. “Four thousand tickets have been | printed,” said Manager Lowenthal of the | Newman & Levin:ons yesterday, “and we | They 'are going | like hot-cakes. We will surely have a good sum to turn over to the families of | the dead firemen. We are all heart and | soul in the movement and will make a big | success of it.”” The J. J. O’Briens are none less active, although they are handicapped by not | naving such a large proportion of lady workers as the Newman & Levinsons. They have set their hearts on piling upa | bigger score than their Kearny - street rivals on the 20th. If the ball-twirlers from Jones and Market don't come out on the top of the heap, their enthusiastic ’ but the boys downtown deciare they are only talking through their hats. However that may be, the J.J. O'Briens certainly have a crackerjack team in train- ing for the game a week irom to-morrow. the best known of their *‘trump cards” is Ed Mitchell, their pitcher, who is looked on to do big things. He has | long been recognized as one of the fore- | most amateur pitchers on the cosst, and | weekly be bears out the reputation when | the poor inoff:nsive batsman makes dar- | ing swipes at the ball only to find he has veen' d-luded once again. It has been claimed for Ei that he can toss a ball in the direction of the ferries down Market | street, and by a slight pressure of the thumb and foretinger at a critical moment | cause the ball to deliberately turn irom its | course and strike terra-firma in the direc- | | | | tion of the Presidio. Of course, this seems incredible, but in view of the fact that he can cause at will the ball to encircle tho batsman’s collar, his admirers are ready to believe almost anything of this “phe- nom.” | Another player whose photograph is re- | produced this morning is Emmett Tomalty, the catcher of the J. J. O’ Briens. Possibly his many friends will not recog- nize the name of Emmett in connection with this now famous backstop, for on account of his propensity for gobbling up every ball that comes his way he has been | nicknamed *“Chicken,”” which, havinz been shortened by the small boy from the | musical appellation of *Chick.”” Those EToMALTY CATCHER JAMES MANAGHAN SHORT SToP PITCHER. afternoon, immediate!y at the conclusion | of the consecration services which are to | be held on the ship and dock.

H There are some interesting leeal prob- lems arising apropos of the Durrant and Worden cases, which have attracted pub- lic attention to the defects in the habeas | corpus law. On January 12, 1891, Senator Vest of Missouri introduced a bill in the United States Senate to amend the law so as to cut skort the right of appeal in habeas corpus cases. He said in a speech on the subject that he introduced the bill at the request of a New York friend, though in- chued to believe it useless. Speaking of the matter yesterday At- | torney Charles A. Garter said: *The only way by which this law can ever be chanced is to amend the constitution of the Unitea States so as to give the Stales least, to stop appeals with the United That s | studied the problem.

WOULD SLAY FOR A NICKEL. J. H. Freese Arrested for Shooting at a Barkoepe J. H. Freese, a grocer, is of the opinion that 10 cents is a trifle too high a price for a glass of liquor. So firmly is he con- vinced that he is correct in Lis belief Le at Barkeeper Charles Halander, who dared to differ with him in the Holger Danske saloon, at the co-ner of Kearny and Pacific streets early yes- terday morning. Freese entered the saloon about 2 o’clock in the morning, and inyited a female fro- quenter of the resort to join him ina | drink. She accepted and ordered liguor. Freese took beer, and tossed the barkeeper a dime in payment for the “duet of | howlis.”’ as he cailed the drinks. Halan- der demanded another nickel, and when it was not forthcoming started around the bar after the offending grocer. Freese then drew a revolver and fired two shots at the barkeeper. Bot: suots missed and before the grocer could again manipulate his revolver he was seized by Officers Cavanaugh and McMahon and Svecial Buge. He was booked at the California-street ation on a charge of assault 10 murder. Yesterday afternoon be was released on bonds, | receptions on Howard Presbrterian, 3 St Jnhn’s Prash -terian Ky.

The Miaes of Trail Creek, Slo- can and Ceir d’Alene Very Rich. Over 6oo Houses Built im Spokane Since August—Mr. Browne's Remarkable Career. J. J. Browne, one of the three founders of Spokane and for many years ranking as one of the wealthiest men in that part of the country, arrived here yesterday, ac- companied by Mrs. Browne, and is at the Palace. Mr. Browne is owner of the Spo- kane Evening Chronicle and of much other property in that enterprising city. He says though Spokane overbuilt for | two or thres years, beginning with 1890, after which there was a reaction for as | long a period, that since August last be- | tween 630 and 700 new houses have been built. These are mainly residences. he activity is attributable to two causes,”” said Mr. Browne. *First to the development of the silver mines in the | Slocan country and goid mines on Trail Creek, and next to the settlement of the miners’ strike difficulties in Coeur a’Alene, just over the line from Spokane in Iaaho. The latter troubles were long standing and very perplexing, but were finally ad- justed, and now 3000 men are at work there. *‘Both the Slocan and Trail countries are in British Columbia, north of Spokane, but tributary to it. The mines there are the outgrowth of two years. The most important gold mine in the Trail Creek | district is the Lo Roi. It has declared in div dends during ihe last eighteen months $400,000, and is now paving a regular divi- dend of $25,000 a month. “In the Slocan district one mine in fif- teen months paid $350,000 in dividends. Another mine, the Payne, has paid from | $150,000 to $200,000 in less time. | “The Kaslo-Siocan Railroad, a line but twenty miles long, has fifty-two shippins | mines on its route. The Ruth mine, which | was discovered by three young men work- ing for wages for a long time in Spokane, paid dividends ot $60.000 in ten months. Two-third< of tve mine was afierward sold for §166.000, and the other interest | tas since been sold practically on the same basis”. | Mr. Browne says the ponulation of Spo- | kane is now between 40,000 and 45,000 During the era of high real estate values and extensive banking interests in that city he was quoted as being worth about STATE REPUBLICAN CLUBS.

Attorney Meotaon in Vain Pleaded for an Early Trial of the Blair Case. When the case of Attorney Dimond against Miss Blair was called 1n Judge Hunt's court yesierday morning Attor- ney Crittenden Thornton made an appli- cation for delay, sayine that he would be soon calied to New York on business and that his asgociate would also be absent from the City. Attorney W. H. Metson, representing Miss Blair, announced that he and his clients would strenuously oppose any de- lay; they were ready for trial and in- sisted on an early hearing of the case. Mr. Metson was inclined to be sarcastic. He said that when the suit was filed the p.ainttff bad informed the public tnat that course was made necessary in order that he might be vindicated; now the defendants offered him an opportunity for an early vindication if he proved him- self entitled to it, and they were met with appeals for postponement. He insistea on a speedy trial. Judge Hunt indicated that he would be willing to accommodate counsel if they could agree on the date of trial, but he was not able to hear any long arzument in regard to the proposition toset the case for trial. The matter finally went over until next ¥riday, when a motion to set the case for trial will be argued. s cwa U School Board Wants Too Much Money. At the meeting of the Finance Committee yesterday morning the estimate of the Board of Education of the amount of money re- quired for the running of the schools for the | uext fiscal year was taken up and discussed at no very g.eat lergih, for the total was of such an awouut as to place it out of the question. The amount asked for is.$2,022,158 59. The inscription on the back uf the communica- tion, which will form the reportof :he com- mittee, reads: “The amount specified will take about half the amount allowed under the pledge for the support and maintenance of the municipal government and is such an amount as under no circumstances can bo al- lowed.’ The communication from the Superintend- ent of Schools reporting the returns made by the census marshals engaged to teke the school ceusus for the present year was also cousidered aud the commitiec reporied its approval of the Superinteadent in his deter- mination to enforce compulsory education. ————— Girl Graduares’ Reunion.
