Iiast Tues day a laree number of the most wealthy sporting men in this city, envious of the condition of the Buffalo Athletic Club, or ganized the Erie County Athletic Clnb, on the same basis, but with a larger member ship and more wealth as backing. At their first meeting, affter electing James C. Fullerton, Esq., President, John G. Floss, Treasurer, and a number of others to offices of minor importance, the duh decided to inaug urate its official life by an APPEAL TO THE MIGHTIEST, in the fistic arena. Accordingly ex-Assemblyman O'Brien was authorized to confer with John L. Sullivan, and "Parson" Davies, Peter Jackson's manager, asking those worthies to come to Buffalo on or before the last day of next February tor the pitiful sum or (30,000. There are about 300 members, and by assess ing them $100 apiece this seemingly large sum could be raised without any trouble.

In conversation with a reporter 'ogarty said: "1 have come over to New York to try and arrange a fight with some high flyer in my class.- I would mnch prefer that man to be Mike Donovan, who has attracted so mnch at tention by claiming to have bested Dempsey in six rounds in a public exhibition in Brook lyn. I feel fully confident that Donovan would have no soft snap with me in the same number of rounds, or to a finish. There is no reason why he shonld refuse to meet me. especially as he thinks himself abetter man than Dempsey or myself. If I cannot fix a go with the Pro fessor I shall be willing to meet all comers for a stake, puree or gate money. Most anything will be agreeable to me.

JUST THREE SOUNDS. All It Took to Show Jim HcCormlck, Pittsburg, That Jim Lyddy la the Better Man A Fierce Fight While It Lasted. ISPECLSl TKLZOlLaK TO thz DISPATCH. 1 of New York, December 8. Early this morn ing Jim Lyddy, the well-known lightweight pueilist of Elizabeth, knocked out Jim Mccor mick, a middleweight of Pittsburg, in a des perate fieht with knuckles, near Brooklyn. For the past six months the friends ot Mccormick have been trying to force Lyddy to fight. After a ereat deal of provocation Lyddy consented to settle the grudge at a road house not tar from the city limits of Brooklyn. About 150 sports were In waiting when the principals arrived. The manager, Jerry Brennan. had& purse of $200 for the men, and about $75 more was added to that amount before the im promptu ring that had been pitched in a sum mer pavilion adjacent to the hotel. McCormick was the first to enter the ring, followed hv his seconds. The Pittsbnre man looked big enough to weigh 175 pounds, but his weight was 158. He Is 24 years 'of ace. and stands 5 feet 8 inches. He looked stronc but untrained. Billy 11c- Gnire and Billy Kooney were his seconds. Lvddv was over the roDes directly after bis adversary. He is 5 feet 10 inches high, is 24 years of age, and weighs 131 pounds. His ap pearance denoted careful training. His sec onds were D. McVeie-h and Hilly McCrearv. A referee was quickly selected, in the person of Wash Bemman. a local middle-weight puguist, and Robert Molitor held the watch. Jl'COBMICK LEADS OFF. When time was called, McCormick was the first to lead, landing his left on the body, with out a return. Lyddy forced the fighting and got home right and left on his adversary's jaw and nose. McCormick returned the compli ment with a good jab on the stomach, and fol lowed it up with right and left-hand body blows that Lyddy tried to avoid by clinching, twice missing his adversary's face in breaking away. McCormick landed right and left on the body just as time was called. Advancing for the second round, McCormick showed the effects of the punch be had re ceived on the nose, and first blood was claimed and allowed for Lyddy. McCormick rushed his man, and a clinch ensued in which be landed a bard one on Lyddy's jaw, in breaking away. A fonl was claimed, -but the men were ordered to fight on. Sev eral sharp rallies then took place, and Lyddy had to keep moving to avoid McCormick's wicked rushes and lunges. Twice he ducked beneath hard, swinging right-handers that would have put him out had they reached the mark. Onoe both men came together with their heads, the Pittsburg man receiving an ugly gash that bled copiously. CAUGHT OFF HIS GUAED. Lyddy caught his man off guard near the close of the round, on the eye, and that im portant organ began to bulge and blacken, and act as a marker. Whenever he tried to rush Lyddy, the latter stuck to bim so closely that his blows had no effect. The smaller man threw him heavily just as time ended the round. Altbongh Lyddy appeared the pluckiest and coolest of the two, very few were willing to risk anv money on bis chances, and it was the general impression that the Penn syivaman wouia win in me ena. Everybody was intensely Interested when the Erincipals opened the third, and that proved to e the final round. McCormick got home two-left-handed jabs about the neck and head, and swung bis right but Lyddy went under it very pretty, and in return, clinched and again threw his man. As he was falling, Lyddy caught him with an upper cut under the jaw, and he was slow in getting np, but when he did he rushed at his opponent like an infuri ated bull, and the attempt proved his doom, as, with head lowered, he ran right on to Lyddy's right-hand swing. The blow could be beard all over the place, and McCormick fell all in a heap. He was unconscious for 15 seconds. The winner received the entire purse, and his friends will back him against any of the 130 pound fighters, or the winner of the Cashing Gibbons fight. " WANTS A GREAT H0ESE. W. L. Scott on the Lookout for British Stock. We understand Hon. W. L. Scott is casting about for another imported stallion. As is well known, Mr. Bcott has in Rayon d'Ora horse still quite young, but his stud Is also filling up with daughters of that horse, and he Is de sirous of securing one with which they will cross. It Is said be was disappointed in not getting Galore, and he is very much disposed toward a son of Galopin. seeing the success of that sire through St. Simon, Galliard. Dono van, etc. That he has priced some of them would appear from the fact that he complains "at the high price they ask" for a good horse. As upon the retirement of Donovan the Dnke of Portland will have two Galopin stallions ho might be willing to sell either Donovan or St. Simon, while his other horse, Ayrshire, although a son of Hampton, is from a Galopin mare. Probably the price of any of them would be so high as to cause Mr. Scott to decline. If there was any choice at this distance from the horses we shonld prefer St. Simon. He is from .St. Angela, by King Tom, and we have an idea he was a better horse than 'Donovan. This we are aware is flying in the face of popular feel ing, as Donovan is by many regarded as a won der. That he is an exceptionally good horse is of course true, but, as we follow English rac ing, we think he has been what is called a lucky horse. The 3-year-olds of last season were" a very bad lot. We doubt if Donovan could have won the Derby and Leger in Or monde's. Melton's, Bend Ors or Petrarch's years. To win those races does not always prove a horse a good one. Kingcraft and Sir Bevys won the Derby, Ossian won the St. Leger, but they were not great horses. The running of the English 3-year-olds this year all goes to show them bad. St. Simon, on the other hand, met some good horses, he was never beaten, he could coyer all distances, and he is a success at the stud already. Spirit of the Timet. ALL WASTED WILMOT. How the Washington Fielder Came to Sign With tbe Chicago Club. rSPICtAI. -TJ-XtCKAIC TO TBXSISrATCB.I Washu-gton, December 8. The baseball portions of Washington are much cut np over the announcement that neither Wilmot nor Hoy will be members of the Senatorial team next season. The fact that Wilmot is to play with the Chicago League Club in 1890 is substantiated by the official pro mulgation of his contract from League headquarters. The 'circumstances which led to tbe transfer of Wilmot to the Spalding con tingent are these: Wilmot's first season here was not a brilliant success, because he was un well for a long time and did not do himself or his clnb justice on tbe field. Last year, how ever, he returned to the Capital City in ex cellent condition and soon demonstrated that he was one of the star outfielders of the League. When be appeared bis work in the flelt, at bat and on the base lines was one of the. principal features of tbe tail enders' game. When the season closed several of the lead ing clubs expressed a desire for his services, and his head may have become slightly in flated by tbe scramble for him. By some means Spalding beard that Wilmot, bad expressed a willingness to play with tbe Chicago club, so the necessary permission was obtained and he at once opened negotiations with him and terms were agreed upon, providing they were acceptable to Mr. Hewitt. Umpire Lynch has written to President Young stating that he is prepared to sign a League contract for next season. AN INTERESTING QUESTION. Lending Authorities Support an Answer Given In This Paper. Invariably there is considerable interest in answers to questions asked through tbe columns of this paper, but one answer recently given hat more than ordinary interest attached to it. ft Some time ago a subscriber, signing himself H. u., asked the following question: We have been reading your valuable paper for & number of years, and have noticed the correct ness of many decisions yon have made. We have no authorized pool rooms In the city, but we haTe a man here who makes a book on the street. He takes his entries from the daily newspapers. You are aware these dally papers often get a name spelled wrong. We played a horse the paper bav lngprinted Easter, but It should have been Faster. This horse won the race, paying good odds. Mow this bookmaker refuses to pay tbe bets because be says Easter didn't start. We claim we won our moner, as we played tbe horse that won the race, as we are not accountable for the errors of the dally papers. Now we wish you to decide this for us In tbe nextlssne of your paper, and greatly oblige several parties Interested. The answer given In this paper was to the ef fect that all that could be claimed was H. C.'s own money back. This answer was not accepted as correct, and the question.' was submitted to an Eastern sporting paper, who submitted It to Cridge fc Co., the famous bookmakers. It was also submitted to other leading authorities, and In every instance tbe decision originally given in this paper has been sustained. The question is an interesting one, as there is no written rule on the matter. Declared It OST. The proposed battle between J. Jennings and W. Ryan bat been declared off. The former is unable to get into condition and has forfeited. Ryan is now anxious to meet any local heavy weight. Searle k Drier, IONDOir, Deceaber8.

Details concerning the Brazilian revolu tion confirm the statement that the move ment originated with the military. The Imperialists are mnch pleased iy Dom Pedro's action in refusing to accept the money offered him by the new republic The Emperor stated that he merely yielded to the force of circumstances. IiiSBOX, December 8. The steamer At rato has arrived with advices from Bio Janeiro to November 22. The dispatches she brings confirna the statement that the revolution in Brazil was precipitated by the attempt of the Government to remove disaffected troops stationed at Bio Janeiro to the provinces. The revolt was confined to the military and students. The populace were passive. The only act of bloodshed was the attack upon Minister of JIariue Ladrio, who was shot inihree places. He is recovering from the effects of his wounds. In Bahia and Per uambneo business proceeds as if nothing had happened. The Bank of Brazil-addressed p letter to the Chief of Police, advis ing him that a guard lor the bank was no longer requisite. THE OFFICIAL NOTICE. General De Fonseca, the head of the pro visional Government, in tbe message by him to Dom Pedro on November 16, said: "The democratic sentiments of the nation com bined with resentment at the systematio rev pressive measures of the Government against the army and navy, and the spolia tion of their rights, have brought about the revolution. In the face of this situation, the presence of the Imperial family in the country is impossible. Yielding, therefore, to the exigencies of the national voice,' the provisional Government is compelled to re quest yon to leave Brazilian territory with your family within 24 hours. "The Government will provide at its own expense the proper means for transport, and will afford protection for the Imperial family during their embarkation. The Govern ment will also continue the Imperial dowry fixed bylaw until the constituted assembly decides thereon. The country expects that you will know how to imitate the example set by the first Emperor of Brazil on April 7, 183L" NOTHTNQ ELSE TO DO. Dom Pedro's answer, which was sent on the same day, was as follows: "Yielding to the imperiousness of circumstances, I have resolved to start with my family to-morrow for Europe, leaving this country so dear to us all, and which I have endeavored to give constant proofs of deep love during the nearly half a century in which I have dis charged the office of Chief of State. While thus leaving with my whole family, I shall ever retaih for Brazil the most heartfelt af fection and ardent good wishes for her pros perity." The Comtesse d' Eu issued the following declaration: "Wjth a broken heart I part from my friends, from the whole people of Brazil and from my country, which I have so loved and still do love, toward whose happiness I have done my best to contribute, and for which I shall ever entertain the most ardent good will." The passage in the Comte d'JSu's letter to the provisional Government in which he offered to serve, no matter what form of government, produced a painful impression among the Monarchists in Bio Janeiro. Others defend his course on the ground that a military man in active service could not do otherwise. OTHEB PERSONS EtCFELLED. The order of expulsion extends to Admi ral Prince Augustus of Goburg, tbe com mander of a Brazilian iron clad, which is expected to reach European waters shortly via the Suez Canal. The action ot Dom Pedro in sending a dispatch to his major domo refusing the money offered him by the provisional Government and accepting only that which the laws allow has gratified the Imperialists. On quitting the Alagoas, Dom Pedro thanked the Captain for his unremitting at tention and kindness throughout the voyage and presented him with the portraits and autographs of himself and lamily. The Alagoas hauled down the old Brazilian flag on the Emperor's departure. She flies no colors now. BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. Emln Pacha Is Still Lying- In a Very Dan. gerous Condition.

' P'EOBABLI A FATAL BLOW. James Lane Struck With a Beer Bottle In a 6penk-Easy Dr. Golden Says That J Death May Reanlt. Between 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday morn ing a fight occurred on Soho street, between Fifth and Center avennes, that may result fatally to James Lane, one oi the partici pants. Lane, with about a half dozen com panions, was in a speak-easy near his home on Soho street, when Hugh Doyle, with several other men, came along and desired to gain entrance. ' The proprietress refused them admittance, and Doyle kicked the door open. Lane and several others ran out when this happened, and when they found out what occurred Lane remonstrated with Doyle, saying: "That's not right, Doyle, a man wouldn't kick in tbe door of a woman's honse'that way." Doyle replied that if Lane did not shut up he would kick him in also, to which Lane answered that he dare not try. Doyle had a bottle of beer in each of his overcoat' pockets, and as Lane finished speaking he pulled one of the bottles ont and struck him over the head. Lane fell to the ground with a groan and soon became unconscious, a condition from which he has no( re covered. As soon as it was learned that Lane was hurt, Doyle and his friends went home anJ Lane's friends carried bim to his home, a few doors above. Dr. Golden was called, but could do but little for the injured man. He says the skull is not fractured and the akin is not broken, but he thinks there is congestion of the brain, and death may re sult. Inspector McAleese and Detective Fitz gerald arrested Doyle jnsUs he was about to make his escape, at his home last night. They also arrested Albert Neville, a young man who was iu the crowd, but- afterward released bim. He and the balance of tbe crowd will be subpoenaed as witnesses in the case, Doyle and Lane are both young married men, live near each other and work iu the same Bill, Tbe Bolice authorities will enter suit against ike speak-easy proprietors. , Atajateaour-iaK .nlMXafl.was still auTc, tu tumMHw, Jj?tgz7 ' THE PITTSBURG- TISPATDCCH. LODGE OP SQfiEaW. First Event of That Kind Held by the Pittsburg Elks Tender Tributea to the Dead Members. Last evening Pittsburg Lodge, No. 11, of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, held its, first "Lodge of Sorrow," ia the hall at No. 67 Fourth avenue. It was an open session in commemoration of the dead members of tbe lodge. There were a number ot visitors, among whom were sev eral female relatives and friends of the de parted Elks. Around the charter on the wall and the portrait of the late William Chalet, and over the great set of elk antlers on the desk or the presiding officer, heavy JnnriM nf M not cloth hung, and aver the black and in festoons from the ceiljng there were bountiful garlands oi mignt green smilax. Just in Iront of tbe exalted ruler depended from tbe ceiling a black bordered shield, on which were the names of the dead, nine in number. The services were touching and suggest ive, from the ritual of the order appropriate for such an occasion. Sacred music was sung by a quartet The Chaplain, Stephen Hornett, read a brief prayer. The eulogy of "William 7. Clark was pronounced by John N. Hazlett, a school mate and for many years associated with the deceased on the Pittsburg Leader. Mr. Hazlett's address was the only one of the evening which had a biographical character. He spoke of their early days at the old Birmingham School, now the Bedford School, on the, Southside. One day, about 15 years ago, there came to the newspaper office a humorous articlesigned only "'W'." It was printed and others followed. "Uncle" Bobert Nevin saw genius in the work and advertised for the writer to call or send his address. When the writer did call Mr. Hazlett discovered bis friend of school days. .From that time until his death Mr. Clark was connected with the Leader. His letters signed "Gilhoolv" were widely admired, and his "Frisbie""' contributions, describing his rambles through the Centennial, gave him a fame in many States. They were recognized for their fidelity, although Mr. Hazlett said that he knew well that Mr. Clark had not been near Philadelphia. Bartley Campbell, when in the height of fame and worldlv success, had urged Mr. Clark to go with him toNewYorkand under Campbell's patronage take np the literary work there. Mr. Hazlett said he believed that bad Mr. Clark eone, he would have made a national reputation as a humorist and would have held a place beside Bill Nye. His domestic natnre led him not to go, and in his latest years he seemed to feel that he had made a mistake. He was the first exalted ruler of the Pittsburg' Lodge, and was loved by all its members. Exalted Buler W. W. McClelland pro nounced a brief memorial on Henry Vicr heller, who had also been an exalted ruler of the Pittsburg Lodge. In memory of P. W. P. O'Brien a beauti ful but short eulogy was pronounced by Mr. W. H. Wallace. John P. McCord then spoke on behalf of William Chalet, who died nearly two years ago, being at tbe time of his death the man ager of -the Opera House. Mr. McCord's tribute was a feeling one, his praise was high and his memories fond. He would write, he said, above, before, under and be hind the name of William Chalet, the Latin word "vir." a man. Mr. Chalet had like wise been, at one time, the chief-officer of the local lodge. The Exalted Buler read a brief enlogy of James w. Davis. Qumcy A. Kobison was to have spoken of William Bissor, but was kept away by illness. His duty was well performed by C. S. Freeman, who spoke a few tender and appropriate words. The memory of James Kelly was pre sented in fitting words by William G. Lee, who bad evidently known and highly ad mired tbe deceased. Mr. Kelly had been born poor. He was a child of tbe Point Br his own efforts he had raised himself to a position of comfort, but was carried away in the earlier flower of his manhood. While Mr. Lee spoke a lady in the audience, who wore black, sobbed bitterly. C. V. Lewis, who was to haTe spoken fo? Charles S. Brown, did not appear, and Dr. Frank McDonald was called out to say something of his dead friend. . ' John Johnson had also failed to appear to speak, of George Learscb, but that tribute was well paid by George Elphinstone, the attorney, who was called upon to deliver the general eulogy on the dead. His ad dress, though brief, was eloquent and moving, abounding in beautiful imagery, and lull of hope and comfort He was listened to, as he uttered his short words of pathos, with breathless attention. The lodge was dismissed after the singing of the long meter doxology, with a benedic tion by Chaplain Hornett BACK IN NINTH PLACE. New Orleann and Baltimore Take a Sudden Jump Above PIttabarg.

The race is to take place In a rink, and Mc Clelland Is to receive 818 for expenses. Be will leave for the Quaker City this week and tram in Philadelphia. It is not definitely settled yet who his trainer will be, but it is likely that Chris Rosellp will continue to look after him. The stake Is not a big one. but McClelland's backer Is prepared to bet 81,000 or 82,000 on the outside. The McClelland party has made strong efforts to have the race for a big stake, but have filled to succeed. However, the race is sure to be of ereat interest, as Miller is known to be a good 10-mile- pedestrian, ana McClelland claims that a 10-mile race is his favorite distance. May Indorse Hosrr.

Many churches held memorial services in honor of Jefferson Davis to-day, principally the Protestant Episcopal, Catholic, Methodist and Presbyterian. Bishop Keener, of the Methodist Churchy related anecdotes of the deceased, especially as a visitor to the an nual seashore campmeeting. Bishop Gal leher, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, who will be in charge of the funeral, did npt preach any sermon. Besides those al ready mentioned as assistants, he will be specially aided by Dr. M&rkham, Presbyte rian; Father Hubert, Catholic, and Drs. Bakewell and Martin, Protestant Episco pal. FITirEUAIi AEBA1TGEMENT. They were all Confederate chaplains. Dr. Bakewell was sergeant of a company, and Bishop Galleher himself carried a musket. It is "the Bishop's intention to have the services take place on the broad portico of the City Hall. Lafayette Square stretches out in front, and many people could then witness the rites. A surpliced choir will sing the anthem "Though I Walk Throneh the Valley f the Shadow of Death," by Sir Arthur Sullivan. At the tomb the same choir will chant "Bock of Ages." The body will be taken to the cemetery, a distance of about three miles on a caisson and the vast procession will walk all the way. The parade will be of immense propor tions. Even the benevolent societies are commencing to announce that they will turn out. The somber drapery of mourning is spreading over the city. To-day the ship ping dipped its flags, the British steam ships especially pulling their flags at half mast All day long there was a ceaseless stream of people viewing the remainsof Jefferson Davis. " ' PLENTY OP FLOWEES. Floral offerings have been pouring in, and tbe coffin now looks as if placed at the base of a bank of flowers. The Army of Ten nessee leads with a design ten feet high, one of the handsomest floral offerings ever made here. When the doors opened at 10 o'clock fully 3,000 people were waiting to enter. The crowd was so great that the people were allowed to pass the bier in double instead of single colnmh, and over 3,300 people passed every hour. The total to-day was fully 40, 000." The body will remain exposed until the last minute. The full programme of the parade will not be decided upon by General John Glynn, the Grand Marshal, nntil'to morrow night. The selection of pallbearers will be left to Mrs. Davis. Mr. J. TJ. Payne, a promi nent cotton factor and a life-long friend of Mr. Davis, will be one of the Grand Army Confederate vetrans, and Governors of other States will be represented beside the casket. The Army of Northern Virginia and Army of' Tennessee veterans will march side by side just behind the caisson bearing the remains of their lamented chief. EULOGY IN GOTHAM.

Hardy spoke for .that State with great feeling'at some length. He said: COLONEL HAEDT'S EULOGY. If we view him in the early davs of his vigor ous manhood, at his hospitable home at Brier field, where the great Father of Waters flows, ire see him as tbe genial neighbor, the devoted husband, loving father, kind master, successful planter, polished gentleman, student and scholar. If wefollowhlm to the lower House of Congress, we behold him iu bis relation to bis co-members, a courtly knight, whose word was the symbol of truth itself, whose conduct was the soul of honor, and whose lofty patriot ism and fidelity were above the faintest whis pers of criticism. And when called by his coun try to defend her flag npon foreign soil, we firiU bim at tbe bead of his regiment on the en sanguined fields of Mexico, and especially at Bnena Vista, the very impersonation of sol dierly hearing and dauntless courage, his regiment standing like an Im penetrable wall of flaming fire that hurled back In defeat the attacking legions of tbe enemy. If we follow him to the Henato cham bers of the United States we find him not only the same courtly gentleman and polished orator, but the peer In statesmanship, as v e ; as in debate of Clay, Webster1. Cushlng ai.d other statesmen and patriots, whose names and characters constitute one of the pages of American history, and when wa behold him at that last scene in the Senate chambers of the United States when his great patriotic heart throbbed with emotions of love for the old flag and the whole country, yet, impelled by a sense of duty to his own people, he bade fare- ofotncxs WolffsftCMEeiacking BEATS tho World.
