[ Special to TUB BBS.J This morning wns the tlmo sot fortho hearing of tno case against the twenty boll players , mrmbcrs of the Lincoln nnd St. Paul teams , chnrgcd with playing ball on Sunday. The case came up before Judge Stewart In county court. To each of the counts in the Indictment , which charged the defendants with engaging in sporting nnd nt common inbor , demurrers wcro filed , mid It was upon the demurrer that argument was had. Gen eral Webster appeared for the state mid Messsrs. Magoon nnd Whedoti for the do- funso. The whole question nppeared to turn upon the definition of the word "sporting , " which the statute prohibits. The defense nrgucd that the statute was made teforo baseball was created and tbcrctoro did not evidently refer to that game. Whedon pulled out n bible to provo that sporting meant quite another thing , whllo the other fellows run In nn encyclopedia to prove different. Mr. Mngoou contended that If this law was strictly enforced it would close the doors of nearly every church in the city , which had n Janitor at work Sunday , had n paid ortran- 1st and a paid choir , pcoplo engaged in their usual.vocation. He nlso stated that this park was far removed from nny residence , and the only dnmixco ho could conceive of was illus trated by n story told him. A woman had entered complaint against n patty of boys who wcra bathing In the liver twomlles from her , nnd when asked why she had done so , as they were too far away to annoy her by their yells nnd by any unseemly exhibition , she replied , "U'oll , I don't think it is right to nllow them to disport themselves In broad dayllghLiu such n manner , nnd besides , I can see them from my place with n toloscono. " Judge Stewart sustained the demurrer , holdingtbatas baseball was not played for nny wager br stake , but was merely an exhi bition of skill and agility it could not como Under the head of sporting , which meant , In his opinion , gamine. It was played to amuse n public gathering , was not common labor , mid came under tbo same class ns n balloon nsccnston. Ho therefore held that It was not a violation of the statute. On request of General Webster Judgment will not bo entered up until noon tomorrow , ns ho wishes to consult his clients us to what thev Intend to do. If they appeal the district court will tncklo It next , und then the supreme premo court , as a decision is desired. The case Is a test ono. Hound to Stop Sunday Games CINCINNATI , O. , April 2U.

It Is supposed that the lire caught from sparks from n passing freight train. The tire was conIInod to the ted cedar ynrd nt the north end nnd the cast side of the Union Pik- clllc tracks. Largo piles of heavy timber , 0.000,000 shingles , cedar posts and lath were stacked up In this yan' . At llrst the Uro department was handi capped by the low pressure of water nnd tljo distance of hydrants from the lire. Chluf Gnlllgan telephoned to the water company and the pressure was soon Increased. Two * lines ot hose were attached to the three hy drants In thu vicinity.

Mr. Jowctt said that most of the stock of shin gles on that siilo of the track had boon sold nnd that It would bo n hard matter to roplnco the stock , as the supply In the country nt this time wns limited. Gangs of men were put to work nt once to remove what lumberwns In danger , nnd they worked until the lire was under control. Along the railroad tracks the heat was In- tcnso nnd drove thn gre.it crowd * , of pcoplo back to the lumber piles on the wast Ditto. Five sections of hose burst during the Uro , scattering the crowds of people in all direc tions. Thu hose which burst wns all from thooutsldo districts of the city and wad con sidered ns old hose. As a precaution nir.iinst Uro Manager Jow- oil had Instructed that nil the weeds nnd grass on the banks nnd arcuna the piles of lumber bo cut down. This was done n day or so ago. Two hoys who had managed to got lusldo the flro lines wei-o slightly hurt by the piloa of falling shingles. Fireman Mcslck of Truck ! i , was also struck by a bundle ot shingle : . , but was able to lOiunio work In a sh'ort tlmo. Manager Jowctt places his loss ut about $20,000. It was impossible nt llrst to muko an estimate of the loss ax thn lira kept spreading and great fears were ontcitalncu that the whole yard would go up in smoke. Trains on the Union Patlllc were dulayod. The overland ( Iyer arranged to get In over the B. it M. tracks from South Oiniiln after about an hour's delay. After that there were four east-bound froicht trains laid out , wait ing an opportunity to pass. Chief Gnlligan lofusod to out off the water presssure , but . salt ! that If the railroad company would dig i ditches under the main tracks he would rui C the hose through the ditches in order to lot the waiting trams go by. Arrangements were made for this \\ork ut n Into hour , as it would bo necessary for the hose companies to remain on duty all night. Great Hashes of flume illuminated the sky , followed by dense clouds of smoke. The budding trees around Shccly looked In thn llrollght us if they had been touched by frost.
