Speaker popped up a high foul, Mey? ers. Merkel and Mathewson went af? ter it. but it fell safe among them. New York's last chance to stop the Bostons had passed with the failure to get that foul ball. Mathewson start? ed a high fast one and Speaker met It fairly. On a line ever I>oyle'? head the ball was driven ana Engle rushed over the plate with the tying run. On the throw-in Yerkes went to third and Speaker dashed on to second. The New York infield drew in and Lewis was purposely passed so that a runner could be forced at the plate on an infield grounder. Then came the finish. Gardner, with three balls and one strike on him. smashed a long fly to Devon?. Yerkes set himself at third and dashed for home when the ball dropped into Devore's hands Th?- Jndlan Meyer crouched at the plate to take the throw he expected from ivvore. The instant he had ? night it Devore whipped the ball homeward. On came the flying Yerkes; on came the ball. Mathew? son. who saw the throw would be wide, threw up his hands and Meyers turned away without trying for the ball, Yerkes did not kn?>w the throw was wMd, however, and he plunged headforemost and slid over the plate In a cloud of dust with the run that won the championship for the Rod Sox.

Oct. 17.?<?n the face of the unotlicial returns from the pri? mary laat Tuesday Thomas H. Peeples of Blaekvllle is nominated for attor? ney general of South Carolina, de ? eating the incumbent, J. Fraser Lyon. The vote as reported last night stcod: Peeples 2:1,983; Lyon 20,990. About 10,000 or more votes remain to be heard from, but the in? dications are that Peeples' present lead will be Increased. Complete returns were available last night from only six counties: Charleston, Clarendon, Jasper, Ma? rion, Marlboro and Hichland. Two '?ountUo, Horry and Saluda, have not been heard from. In the latter, there aeems to have been considrable con? fusion ov?r the election. Returns are especially slow in coming from the heavy voting counties of the Pied? mont. With the exception of Horry and Qeor,<etown, the returns from the Pee Dee section are practically com? plete. The vote In the primary for at? torney gc neral will not be definitely known until after the State Demo? cratic executive committee holds its meeting in Columbia Friday at noon. All over the State today the county Democratic committees will meet to dclare the returns and report them to the Stat? committee. The election machinery has worked very slowly ao far in reportlng'returns to the county seats. There are reports from sev? eral countiea of managers neglecting to come for boxes, and no election be? ing held at many precincts. The complete returns from Char? leston county give Peoples a major? ity of nearly 1,900 over Lyon. Rich land county went for Peeples by over 300 votes. His majority in Spartan burg will probably execeed 700 votes. Lyons lead in Greenville ha* been decreased by the last returns.

ED ITH RIB, X-RAY shows. ? - Surgeons -Mnk*' Statement Concern* mg Colonel's Condition After Thorough Examination und First tocneseful x -Ray Picture?Bullet Apparently Imbedded in Hroken Rib ? Path of Missile Somewhat Lacerated, Say Doctors. Chicago, Oct. 17.?Col. Roosevelt slept soundly as midnight passed. The rooms of his suite were dark and silent. Night Nurse Margaret Fitz? gerald was exiled from the room, which she had turned over to Mrs. Roosevelt, and sat outside with the police sergeant, who was on guard. She said that she had nothing to do for the Colonel and would not go to him unless he rings. Chicago, Oct. 16.?The bullet wound inflicted in Col. Rosevelt's chest at Milwaukee Monday night, it otncially was announced today for the first time, Is healing normally with? out Infection. The statement that no complications have shown themselves was'made after a day during which the first successful X-ray picture of the wound in the Colonel's chest was examined by the surgeons. The fact developed that the would be assassin's bullet fractured the Col ! onel's fourth rib. The missile remains imbedded, apparently, in the bone. The fracture, however, It is stated, will not affect the treatment in any way, but will be allowed to heal un? treated, as will the wound. A description of the wound given tonight by Dr. W. B. McCauley is the first to be given to the public by the surgeons. He said that the bullet's path through the muscles of the cheat is lacerated to some extent by the battened lead, but that there was little contusion and no extensive area of bruiaed and extravasted surrounding tissueg. "The bullet did not 'mushroom,' as might have been expected," said Dr. McCa?iley. "For that reason it cut a comparatively small hole In the skin and did not reduce a largo portion of the nearby tissues to pulp, as is the case in a soft bullet that 'mushrooms' in animal tissues after it hits a bone. I think the bundle of papers in Col. Roosevelt's pocket checked it and the spectacle case, for some reason, failed to spread the bullet much. "The wound is about big enough to put your finger in at the surface and it doesn't appear to get very much bigger. I would call it a very clean wound. The skin is torn at the sur? face in a ragged way, but not badly, and there is little bruising." WOOBROW WILSON CAMPAIGN Fund.

Bulgaria and Servia Seem Curiously Indisposed to Take Final stop. London. I ?ct. IG.?The Balkan light? ing remains limited to the Monte? negrin border and although the rela? tions of Turkey and the other allied States are virtually broken, there is a curious indisposition on the part of Bulgaria and Servia to take a final place in the hostilities. This hesita? tion is regarded in diplomatic circles as a good omen, pointing to the pos?? blllty that the powers ???" ? \ able to prevent it, m lessening the duration < - uie war. It is understood that most of the powers have accepted in principle the suggestion of the French premier for a European conference but nothing has been decided as to when the con? ference will meet or what its pro? gramme will be. The fact that Italy is now free to enter the conference will greatly strengthen the European concert and is calculated to make the Balkan States more amenable to European pressure. The future status of Crete under the new conditions, which it is re? ported will be virtual annexation by Greece, Is now engaging the attention of the powers. The rumors that Bulgaria has ac? tually declared war has not been confirmed. The Montenegrins after hard fight? ing have captured Berna, but it is reported that there will be a pause in the operations around Tushi. Un? doubtedly this is due to the Montene? grins realizing that they have paid too dearly for their successes In heavy losses of life. King Nicholas accord? ingly has Issued a proclamation urg? ing his soldiers to restrain their im? petuosity. The Montenegrin Princes Danielo and Peter have been active in the en? gagement, personally leading their forces. Prince Peter has been proe moted to major for gallantry. Gen. Martlno\ Itch's division has worked its way closer to Scutari and it Is staed that an Austrain vessel has been.ordered up the Boyana river to bring the Austrian eounsul and col? ony from Scutari. The conclusion of peace beween It? aly and Turkey has greatly relieved the shipping trade owing to the heavy insurance premiums imposed during the activity of the Italian lleet in Turkish waters. Set of Harness Returned. The set of harness which wai lost by the racing squad of the fire de? partment on their trip to Fayette ville Thursday morning turned up in the city, seht by whom or from where no one seemed to know. The loss of the set of harness came before coun? cil several times and this bod:, de? cided that the boys must make good the loss. Afterwards the racing squad purchased a collar, valued at more than the entire set of harness and the matter was dropped by coun? cil. Now the members of the racing squad can return the harness to the City and wll- have a good extra col la i < ?f their own.

EX TO Circaa Tents Are Pitched on Vacant Lot Between Depot and <?a* I'lant off Ifanncr Street?Lai-. C rowd in Town for Show?Some of the At? tractions of the Chrcus. Howe's Great London Shows, one of the largest independent circuses in America, arrived in town Thurs? day morning early in their special train an?' now have their big tents - the vacant lot between the . , ?>A>ev ISsw? station and the gas plant? off Hauser and Silver streets. There was quite a big crowd pres? ent when the train was in sight and the unloading of circus paraphernalia and the pitching of the tents and get? ting things in readiness for the big I arade and two performances were watched with the greatest amount of interest by those present, both qld and young. The parade of the morning came through the streets shortly before 11 o'clock and the streets- and sidewalks were crowded with interested spec? tators, many of whom had come from the farthest corners of the county and from other counties to see the parade and circus. The pa? rade came up Main street, turned up Liberty street then came back down Main street and turned up Bartlette to Washington and down Liberty to Harvin and on back down to the grounds. Early in the day the people from the surrounding country commenced pouring in on every road entering town and every train which came in during the morning brought full car? loads of persons living near the sta? tions along the lines. As th:s is the first circus in a couple of years, no doubt this was the occasion for a ! larger attendance than it would have I received had there been a circus here lust year. The circus grounds were crowded early and a big,crowd was gathered around the tents all day watching everything to be seen, anxious that nothing should escape their sight which was worth seeing. The doors of the big circus tent opened at 1 o'clock and crowds poured in until long after time for the circus to com? mence. The doors were opened early so that visitors might get an oppor? tunity of seeing the animals and might enjoy the band concert which was given preparatory to the com? mencement of the circus perform? ance. This event was watched with the greatest interest, many of the 200 odd features holding the crowd spell? bound while they were in process of execution. Tonight the doors will be opened again for the second performance of the day. which will commence at 8 o'clock, the doors being opened.one hour earlier. The circus performar.ee this afternoon was in every way clean and was one well worth seeing and one it will do no one harm to sec, but will be the means <?f teaching much to a great many among the audience. One of the features of the menag? erie which Suntter people will have the pleasure of seeing is a baby lion cub, two weeks old. This is on eg." htbttlon here for the Ii ret time and will no doubt attract a great deal of attention. It is an addition to the menagerie of which the management is extremely proud and every effort is being made to make the cub into a bouncing baby of its kind. IN THE CRIMINAL COURT.
