GENERAL SPORTING SEWS OP THE DAT
There was another exciting time at the
Grand Central Kink yesterday by the fe
male bicyclists. During the day between
3,000 and 4,000 entered the building, nearly
one-half being ladies. The way in which
the high-priced seats were patronized
showed that, hundreds of citizens who are
not usually seen at sporting events are en
thusiastic about the fair bicycle contestants.
"Without doubt there is much to interestand
excite in the contest, and it is only
fair to say that the three lo
cal contestants are riding with a grace and
speed that is remarkable as well as surprising.
Certainly the two professionals hare so far
struck a "snag," and probably they were never
more disappointed than they were this week.
Hattie Lewis, who wasn't considered even "in
the race" before it started, is doing wonderful
work, and if she is beaten by either of the visi
tors the struggle will be a desperate one, in
deed, providing all goes well.
MISS OAKES BECOMES ILL.
An unexpected and unfortunate circum
stance occurredjestcrdayaftcrnoon, which has
Increased the chances of Miss Lewis' victory
greatly. Miss Oakes became ill after she had
been on the track an hour. She was com
pelled to retire to her room much against bcr
will, and a physician was sent for. He advised
her to retire from the race, and she sent for
another physician. He also advised her to take
a day's rest at least, but she persisted in riding
a short time late last evening. As a result of
her long enforced rest Miss Lewis increased
her lead to over 40 miles.
When Miss Oakes became sick Miss Von
Blumen set out to try and catch Miss Lewis
as-soon as possible, but tne litter was not so
easy to overhaul as some people imagine. Von
Blumen certainly sent her machine around the
track at a terrific rate, and sustained her effort
for two or three hours. She was cheered lustily,
but when 8 o'clock had been reached she was
still ten miles behind Miss Lewis, and the latter
looked considerably more vigorous than Miss
Von Blumen.
The contest between the pair was a pretty
one. Their styles of ruling were quite dissim
milar. Miss Lewis, who only commenced rid
ing a few months ago, sat upright on her ma
chine. She worked as if without effort, and as
her wheel is larger than that of Miss Lewis',
she produced extraordinary speed at times.
On the other hand,
MISS VOST BLirjIEX'S STYLE
is to a great extent very laborious, but when
she leans forward for a spurt her bicycle seems
to fly around the track. When both contest
ants were on the track and going their best.
Miss Lewis comfortably held her own, ana it
was only when the latter was off the track that
Miss Von Blumen reduced tno gap between
them.
Ladies who admire bicycle riding and have a
desire to indulge in it as an exercise will find
excellent styles to copy at the rink. MiS3 Allen
has a pretty and speedy style, hut she is not a
"stayer" as the term goes. Miss Suallor, al
though to some extent crippled bran injured
arm, does exceedingly ell, but Miss Oakes is
undoubtedly the prettiest and speediest rider
of the lot Her chance for first place seems to
be extinguished now, but last night she stated
that if she is all right to-day she will finish first
or second. If she docs she will perform a task
that at present looks impossible.
Had Miss Oakes not been overtaken by sick
ness yesterday she would probably have been
first to-day, as she resumed her journey yester
day in a way that -gave spectators to under
stand that she meant business. She rapidly
lEained on Miss Lewis. The latter reached her
two hundred and twentieth mile at 2:15. and
Miss Oakes reached that point onlv 24 minutes
later. Shor.iy after that Miss Oakes became
sick. Miss Von Blumen reached the 220 mark
at 3:40 and Miss Lewis tallied 250 niiles'at 5:23.
Miss Von Blumen scoring a similar number of
miles at 7:20. From 8 o'clock until the finish
for the dy the contest was really exciting to a
high degree. The large crowd of spectators
cheered the cool going Pittsburger almost at
ever- turn. It was evident that the sympa
thies ate for the local representative, and if
she is victorious her victory will be a very popu
lar one.
Following was the score last night at 11
o'clock, when the race stopped until to-day:

follows: Kilrain desires to meet Sullivan first.
ana mat auer tne conclusion or tins engage

all overtures fail with. Sullivan, he will meet
Jackson on the terms as above. Charles Mitch

negotiating for a fight between Kilrain and
Jackson.
Kilrain says he is a fighter, and will meet the
winner of any fight in his heavy-weight class,

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Boston, January 3. The committee who
have the regulation of athletic sports at Har
vard College voted last night to repeal that
section of their regulation which forbade any
college athletic organization to play or com
pete with professionals. In its place a regula
tion was adopted making tho assent of the com
mittee necessary to all contests by any college
athletic organization.
It is generally understood by the repeal of
the old regulation that no objection will now
be made to a contest with any team on the
mere-ground that it is professional, so the
students are now practically free to play with
any professional teams.
President Dny'a Terms.
KewYobk. January a When Mr. John B.
Day was spoken to yesterday on the subject of
a series of games in the spring between New
York and Brooklyn he said the only condition
on which he would consent to play the games
was that the winning club should take either
the total receipts for the series or the receipts
of each game it won. That was a pretty sweep
ing "deli." as it were, and when Air. Byrne,
President of the Brooklyn club. was asked what
he had to say about it, be replied, that he had
nothing to say, inasmuch as Mr. Day had not
communicated with him personally touching
the proposed games. Mr. Byrne will probably ac
cept Mr. Days challenge, as it is well known
Brooklyn wants to cross bats with New York
again.

A LIVELY BANTAM FIGHT,
Frank Murphy Sustains Ills Reparation as
Champion Feather Weight Declared the
Tictor in a Ten-Round Go With Jimmy
Hagno, of Philadelphia.
PiniiADKLpniA, January 3. The long-
taiKeu-ol meeting between Frank Murphy, of
England, who claims tho feather-weight cham
pionship of the world, who now has a forfeit of
S500 posted as an earnest of his willing
ness to defend that title, and Jimmy Hagan, of
this city, who is regarded as the cleverest of the
local bantams, came off at the Stockt m range,
to-night, under the auspices of the West Jersey
Athletic Association, and Murphy was declared
the winner. James Watson, of the Press, had
been previously agreed upon as rcf eree.and Ar
thur Chambers and Ed Cole, of the Call, were se
lected as timekeepers. Dominick McCaffrey,the
well-known heavy-weight, and Ed Bradford,
seconded Murphy, and Jim Ryan and Lou Erb
performed similar service for Hagan. As the
men squared it was apparent that ilurphv was
the heavier, and that he was "fit,'- while Hagan
looked a trifle drawn.
First round Hagan made the pace at the
onset, driving Murphy to the ropes, without,
however, doing any serious damace. On regain
ing the middle Murphy caught Hagan lightly
on the face, and the latter retaliated in the
Britisher's wind. While the men were spar
ring for an opening time was called.
necona round Murpny opened in a Dusmess
llke way, driving Hagan to the ropes, and land
ing lightly on his face. The Quaker pulled
himself together in good shape, and went at
Murphy hammer and tongs, rapping him with
a straight lelt-handcr in the nose, getting first
blood. This evidently rattled Murphy, who
fought rather shy until Chambers sent the men
to their corners.
Third round Hagan again took tho initia
tive, finding Murphy's bellows several times,
and making the latter crunt. The Englishman
countered on Hagan's jaw. Hagan caught
Muipby under the eye, swelling that useful
organ and driving him to the ropes. Before
Hagan could follow up his advantage, time was
called.
Fourth round This round ww rather hot,
and all in Hagan's favor. Murphy planted his
left in Hagan's stomach, and James responded
on Frank's neck. It was give and take, with
the local man doing the most action. Murphy
was scored against the wall just as time was
called.
Fifth round Up to this point the exercises
had been in favor of Hagan. but Murphy soon
evened things. After considerable fiddling he
got in a stinger on Hagan's nose and drew the
claret. Considerable short-arm fighting en
sued, but the Englishman had the advantage,
his blows seemingly having the most steam be
hind them.
Sixth round This ronnd was all in favor of
Hagan, who after feeling the weight of
Murphy's left, rushed bis opponent, land.ng in
discriminately on his head and body, conclud
ing with a straight left-hander on the jaw,
which made his supporters jubilant.
Seventh round Both men got down to busi
ness at the start, and the early part was in favor
of Hagan. But the fast pace Mas beginning to
show on him, while Murphy was comparatively
fresh. The latter then began to force mat
ters, and sent his man flying toward
tho ropes by a solid shot on
the neck, just as time was called.
Eighth round Murphy paid his attention to
Hagan's stomach, and landed heavily several
times. Hagan began to show signs of distress,
and it loo .ed as though he was about done for:
but Murphy, for some reason or other, did not
follow bim up.
Ninth round Both men fought shy, and it
was not until the last half that they came to
gether, when Murphv again made play with
excellent effect upon Hagan's body.
Last round Murphy immediately assumed
the aggressive, hitting Hagan ou the face and
chasing him to the ropes. Hagan rallied, and
short-arm fighting, with Murphy doing the
most telling work, when time wgs called.
Tho referee awarded the fight to Murphy, but
the spectators seem to bo evenly divided in
their opinions.
BASEBALL MATTERS.
Interesting Knmors Abont Rome. White and
Pop Smith.
Once more interesting baseball rumors are in
the air. One is to the effect that Roweand
White are trying to buy their releases from
Detroit. If this is done they will play at Buffalo
and claim that they cannot then legally be put
on the blacklist. If they fail to secure their re
leases it is understood that Rowe will come
here and White will go to Boston.
There is certainly good grounds for a report
of this kind. At the meeting of the directors
of the Buffalo club Rowe definitely stated that
two extra players would be secured by Buf
fala to fill the places of White and himself,
providing the two last named could not get
their releases. This seems to indicate that
Howe and White have still some common sense
left. Tbey know that they cannot play outside
the League except with permission.
Another rumor is that there is a very warm
exchange of opinion going on between "Pop"
Smith and President Nimick. The former will
not sign except under certain conditions. The
club will not grant him these conditions, and
there is a hitch. The club officials refuse to
say what the trouble is, but it is understood
that hmith refuses to sign unless the club guar
antees to keep him the season or transfer him
in a way that will cause him no decrease in
salary for the season.
A BASE BALL TREAT.
.Tim Ilnrt Arranges for the Australian
Trams to Play Here.
Jim Hart, the traveling agent of AL Spal
ding's ball teams, arrived in the city yesterday
to try and make arrangements for a visit of
the teams to this city when they return to this
country. Mr. Hart had a long consultation
with President Isimick on the matter, but
nothing absolutely definite was done.
Mr. If imick was perfectly willing to have the
teams play a game here, but as Mr. Hart could
give no guarantee as to when the teams would
return no dates could be fixed. Matters were
so adjusted, however, as to make certain that
the teams will play here during the early part
of April. It was understood that satisfactory
terms were arrived at between Messrs. Hart
and Ximiclc
During a conversation Mr. Hart said that the
Australian trip is a great financial snecess, and
that probably another trip will be made to that
country next year. He also thinks that Rowe
will finally sign to play in Pittsburg.
STRATTON LOOMS UP.
The Saratoga Runner Offers to Rnn Mc
Clelland n Five-Mile Race.
Miles Stratton is once more to the front
Stratton will be remembered here as the
plucky half-mile runner who won a race from
Peter Priddy and also lost one to tho same
man. Stratton is now at Saratoga, and be
forwards the following challenge to this paper:
"I will run E. C. McClelland, of Pittsburg, a
five-mile race for J250 a side I am willing to
run at Pittsburg and take $50 expenses, tho
race to take place five or six weeks from sign
ing articles. An answer to this challenge
through The Pittsburg Dispatch will re
ceive attention. Miles Stratton."
It looks like a surprise Stratton coming out
as a five-mile runner. He was a first-class man
in half-mile races, but ho has done little or
nothing in public in five-mile contests. It is
likely that the Pittsburger will accommodate
Stratton. McClelland has certainly proven
that he can go five miles without a hitch. He
also displayed excellent speed in the recent
London Theater race.
LOOKS LIKE A GO.

DASGEEODS ALTERATION.
Skillful Klanner In Which a Two Dollar
BUI Was Doctored.
Chicago, January 3. Commissioner
Hoyne was consulted yesterday in regard to
a piece of money, which, from the clever
ness with which the work has been done, is
considered very dangerous and liable to de
ceive even an expert. A tobacco dealer re
ported that a well-dressed and gentlemanly
appearing man came into his store to-day,
and in payment of a small purchase tendered
a $5 bill, which was accepted without ques
tion. "When offered at the bank, however, it was
thrown out, and Connors, the tobacco dealer,
was told that it was a $2 which had been
changed into a $5. The large figure 2 in the
upper right-hand corner had evidently been
cut with a stamp made for the purpose, and
a figure 5 inserted so nicely that the naked
eye, even when aware of the character of
the bill, could detect no line of juncture.
The figure was held in place by a piece of
pink paper attached to the back, which at
the same time joined a tear which was made
of course, to account for the use of the pink
paper. To further increase the appearance
of age, other pieces of the same colored
paper were stuck to the back of the bill.
The numerous figures 2 on the margin of
the note were not altered, but so blurred as
to make their denomination uncertain.
A DILATORY DEPARTMENT.
No Christmas nt Ilonic Allowed for a Par
doned Prisoner.
'Washington', January 3. Representa
tive O'Ferrall, of Virginia, has prepared a
resolution which he expects to offer in the
House, asking the reason for the delay of
the State Department in issuing warrants
for the release of offenders against the law
who have been pardoned by the President.
On December 21 the President, at Mr.
O'Ferrall's request, pardoned D. H. Mar
tin, of Patrick county, Virginia, convicted
of violation of the internal revenue laws.
Martin is a cripple, in bad health, and with
a family sufi'crinc during his confinement.
Mr. O'Feirall, in order that Martin might
be with his family during Christmas, imme
diately on the granting of the pardon had
the Attorney General call on the State
Department for Martin's release. He then.
left for home, feeling assurred that Martin
would be released before Christmas, but
yesterday he learned to his indignation that
the warrant had not yet been issued, and
that the man was still in fail.
"The President," Mr. O'Ferrall says,
"acted with promptness; the Attorney Gen
eral did not delay lor a minute, and yet the
Department of Btate has held and still holds
the necessary warrant for the release of a
man pardoned two weeks ago."

DEPEW'S GLASS LEG.

Chauncey Talks About the Excruciating
.Agony He Endured.
A GLASS LEG AN INCENTIVE TO WORK.

Blew the Bottle Around the Ley.
That
"With the fate of the wealthy Rotterdam
gentleman, who wore a mechanical leg,
which has been enshrined in verse, before
him, Chauncey M. Depew decided to rid
himself of the glass leg he has been wear
ing for some weeks. The fact that poets
had already chosen the crystal limb for a
subject doubtless confirmed Mr. Depew in
his resolve. He did not know when his leg
would start to walk away with him. The
experiment has been interesting from a
medical standpoint, and seems to have
proven fairly successful.
tsrSCLLI. TKLEORAilTO THE DISPATCH.!
New Yobk, January 3. The Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew was taken from his of
fice in the Grand Central station at 2 o'clock
this afternoon to his home in East Forty
fifth street, where the surgeons sawed his
leg off. It was the glass leg. Mr. Depew
had had it on three weeks. The glass
was almost an inch thick and
encircled his flesh, and blood from
just below the knee to the instep. "With
the finest saws it took the surgeons an hour
to saw it ap' t and another hour was taken
in bandagin the tender member. The leg
and foot had shrunk under the pressure of
the glass so that the glass was loose. Al
though Mr. Depew's tendon achilles is en
tirely healed it will be several days before
the final bandages are removed and Mr. De
pew resumes a shoe that doesn't look like a
railroad frog on a bender.
DEPEW WANTED TO nOWL.
In preparing the leg and foot for the glass
leg, bandages very broad and strong and
thickly wound werejused, and on them was
daubed the liquid glass. The glass was
thick, like mucilage, and the daubing pro
cess was continued until there was a mass
nearly an inch thick. Then the orator's
agony began. He had wanted to howl be
fore, but when that glass cooled and con
tracted he had not any breath left to howl
with. He never suffered such excruciating
agony, hesays, and he wants to be cremated
before he is required to put up with a simi
lar dose of mental and physical torture.
At that time you couldn't get a razor
blade between the glass casing and the
bandages. Yesterday the handle of a jack
knife could have been thrust between them,
so greatly had tbe leg and foot shrunk.
"Poetry in all sorts of meters has been
written to that leg," Mr. Depew said, ''but
outside of that it has not been without its
advantages to me. It has kept me away
from dinners. It has been all of the Carls
bad Springs to me.
AN INCENTIVE TO WORK.
"I have been ready to howl sometimes,
bnt for all that on an average I have
worked 18 hours a day in the last six weeks.
There was nothing else to do. and I am
gratified when I think that the accumula
tions of several years are now cleared up.
They never would have been in the world
had it not been for this glass leg. It has
also demonstrated the wonderful quirks of
tne mina. x naa always been accus
tomed to walkinj up and down the
room dictating my correspondence and
other documents of interest to me. I found I
could not walk, and, therefore, I could not
dictate. Even when I could hobble about
on a cane I could not dictate. You see it
was not the Deoew gait, as I had to drag
three pounds of glass alter me, and I had to
buckle down and do the best I could sitting.
But one can get used to almost anything,
and I finally came around to the new way."
A chap way off in Dakota has written to
know the name of the enterprising glass
foundry that blew the glass bottle around
the leg.

has been locked up for several days, and
the arrest has been kept qniet until the po
lice investigation reaches a satisfactory
conclusion. This notorious confidence
man's latest escapade was to obtain $60 of
Thomas Kobinson, Treasnrerof the McAvoy
Brewing Company, to whom he went in the
garb of a Catholic priest.
He has been wanted here for this job, and
others here and elsewhere. A few days ago
Inspector Bonfield heard that he was in
Milwaukee, and telegraphed to the inspector
theie to find him. A man who resembles
Gustav de Rohan in every way was found
by the Milwaukee police at 876 Windlake
avenue, living with his wife and two chil
dren under the name of Emil H. Kitzer. He
was masquerading inthe priestly garments,
and had already victimized Father Decker.
of St. Anthony's parish, Milwaukee, and
had also collected considerable sums of
money by claiming to be a collector for the
Little Sisters of the Poor.
Officer Crane was sent to Milwaukee, and
he brought Kitzer back on a requisition.
Kitzer denies that he is Gustav de Bohan,
but the police are not inclined to believe
him. The spectacles which he wore have
been identified as the property of Father
Dunn, of Joliet. In Father Dunn's parish
he collected money for an imaginary blind
man, having first obtained the permission
of the unsuspecting father, and then re
warded the good old man by stealing his
spectacles.

rSFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.:
Baltimoke, Ms., January 3. William
Lorman Boberts, the stock broker, whose
escapades cost him, his mother and his
bondsmen about a quarter of a million
dollars, died last night of typhoid fever.
Boberts was only 39 years of age,, but he
had a checkered career. He was the son ot
Edward Boberts, one of the wealthiest citi
zens of Baltimore, and was edncated
at the Polytechnic Institute, Troy,
N. Y. At his father's death
he was made executor of the
Lorman property, a trust estate, an.d soon
engaged in the brokerage business. His
prodigal habits brought to him a number of
friends who helped him to spend a fortune.
It was nothing unusual for him to challenge
a stranger to throw dice for from $25 to $ 100
a throw.
His office was fitted up magnificently,
therebeing none other so elaborate in its
appointments in the city. His investments
were in keeping with his habits,
and the result was a sudden collapse.
His seat in the New York Stock Exchange
was sold out to meet obligations, and other
property here was attached. Suddenly he
disappeared, and then it developed that he
had used funds of the estate of which he was
trustee.
From here he went to Canada, and with a
New York broker opened a bucket shop.
His partner soon left him, and the business
went to smash. "Without a dollar he ap
pliedto his mother for relief, and she, by
drawing heavily on her estate, succeeded in
effecting a settlement. Then Boberts re
turned to Baltimore and started a laundry.
He was getting along fairly Veil when
taken sick. He leaves a wife and two
children. His mother still occupies the
palatial Boberts mansion on Eutaw Place.

DEMANDS EXONERATION.
British Minister Morier Asks Prince Her
bert Bismarck to Do Him Justice.
London, January 4. Hon. R. D.Morier,
British Minister to Bussia, publishes the
correspondence which passed between him
and Count Herbert Bismarck regarding the
charges made against Morier by the Cologne
Gazette.
Among the letters is one from Marshal
Bazainc, in which Morier is exonerated
from the charge. The Embassador asked
Count Herbert Bismarck, as an
honorable gentleman, to make public
this letter, which Count Her
bert did not do. Mr. Morier
then wrote that as Count Herbert would not
do bim justice, he would be compelled to
publish the correspondence in his own de
fense. He says the contributor to the Ga
zette derived his information from official
sources, which is an additional reason for
appeal.
The Tehgraph says: If there is no way
of repudiating calumnies against our
Ambassadors, which pretend to be official,
a way ought be found to defend them.
The Times' Berlin correspondent says he
thinks it probable that a third person in
London imparted the news to Marshal Ba
zaine without Morier's authority. There is
some excuse for Morier, but next to none for
Count Herbert. Impartial judges, both
English and German, will believe that
Count Herbert made the manner of Moriers
demand a pretext for declining to make
amends.

A RAILROAD REYIEW.
Condensed Resume of the Operations
of the Past Year and
imPfiOSP'ECT FOR THE FUTURE.
A Marked Improvement in Some Eespects,
Eat on the Whole the
OUTLOOK IS NOT YEEY ENCOURAGING.
That is the Presentation of the Corporation View of
the Subject.
The Railway Age does not regard the past
year as a favorable one for railroads. It,
however, was better than some of its prede
cessors. The number of forclosure sales has
decreased. The number of receivers ap
pointed has increased. The ontlook for the
future is not thought to be cheerful.
Chicago, January 3. The -Railway Age
in its issue of to-morrow will say: "While
the past year was not a favorable one for
yie railways generally in respect to earnings
or maintenance of rates, it makes a much
less discouraging showing than many of its
predecessors in the number of roads sold
under foreclosure and also in the mileage
and capital involved in such sales. This
fact, however, does not prove that the roads
are now prospering, because foreclosure
sales are the harvesting of seeds sown long
before, sometimes several years."
A table giving the names of the lines sold,
their length, and the amounts of their
funded debt and capital stocks is given, and
the article continues: "Although 19 roads,
with almost 1,600 miles of lines and nearly
$65,000,000 of bonds and stock, have thus
been closed out for the creditors during the
year, these figures are much less than those
of any previous year since our record was
begun, with the exceptions of the years 1882,
1883 and 1884.
EEMARKABLE IMPEOVEMENT
Compared with the next three years the
improvement is remarkably great, indicat
ing that the roads whose insolvency occurred
in late years have mostly gone through the
process of reorganization. It is gratifying
alsoto observe that only 2 of the 19 com
panies in the list are among the really im
portant railways in the country, these two
being the Florida Bailway and Navigation
Company, with 533 miles of road and over
521,000,000 of securities, and the Houston
and Texas Central, with 522 miles of road
and representing nearly $25,600,0000. Most
of the other roads are finite small and scat
tered through various parts of the country
and their failures resulted chiefly from lack
of business."'
The essential features of another tabular
showing a resumraarized as follows: During
the past 13 years 423 railway companies
with 43,770 miles of lines more than one
third of the entire mileage of country
to-dav and representing in securities
almost 2,545,000,000, over 30 per cent of the
present railway capital have been seized
by the courts for the benefit of their cred
itors, and sold at auction, a fact that does
not indicate that railways iu this cosntrr
are a profitable form of investment. It fs
true that in several cases the same road has
been sold twice or even three times, but this
indicates still more strongly the precarious
nature of the business, when repeated in
vestments of capital in a road fail to make
ii ten-sustaining.
KOT VERT ENCOURAGING.
The number of railway receiverships con
stituted during a year gives a better indica
tion of the present condition of the railway
system than do the foreclosure sales, and
in this nspect the evidence of 1883 is not
encouraging. "We find that during the
year 22 companies, with 3,270 miles of lines,
and nearly 5187,000,000 of securities, have
become insolvent and passed from the con
trol ot their owners into that of the courts.
Compared with either 1887 or 1886 these
figures indicate a very large increase in re
spect to number of roads, mileage and capi
tal, but on the other hand the totals are
very much smaller than for the years 1885
and 1884, the latter being memorable from
the fact that the 37 roads for which receiv
ers were appointed represented over 11,000
miles of Jine and nearly 715,000,000.
The most important failures of the year
are those of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, 1,611 miles and 593,000,000; Minne
apolis and St. Louis, 1,345 miles and 5119,-
zw.uuu; uayton, nt. Wayne and Chicago,
250 milesand nominally about 510,000,000,
and Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore,
with 281 miles and 541,240,000 of securities.
The last named company confessed its fail
ure on the last day of the year.
At the present time the outlook for 1889,
in respect to railway insolvency, is not alto
gether cheerful. The heavy losses of 1887
have seriously affected the financial stand
ing of many companies, and unless rate
wars are prevented and legislation and
public sentiment become less unjust toward
railway interests, there is reason to fear that
the list of receiverships for 1889 will be very
much larger than for the year that has just
closed.

other.
The duel continued until both were

Both came to town to-day and each swore

with intent to kill.

but incidentally he intimated, it is said,
that if the General was anxious to try any
Southern timber in his Cabinet, Tennessee
could furnish a fine variety in the person
of ex-Governor Alvin Hawkins, who was
Governor of the State in 1880. The cx
Goyernor is a cousin of the man who ran
for Governor this year.
CONSIDERED THEMSELVES SNUBBED.
Admittance to General Harrison has al
ways been so free that there are some comi
cal scenes when it is for any reason refused
to a few callers. To-day one of the large
number who called while the uenerai was in
conference with Senator HiscocK was Dr. J.
L. Barrett, of Clarinda, Iowa. Dr. Bar
rett is a veteran of the campaign of 1810,
and was an original Harrison man, coming
out for him, he claims, some time before the
convention met During the campaign he
took a very active part in working for the
Bepnblican ticket, and once was nearly
drowned in crossing a stream on his way to
keep an appointment to speak at some
meeting. He was thunderstruck when even
the mention of his name and residence
failed to seenre him an immediate audience
with the President-elect to-day, and camo
away in high dudgeon, and declares that
he has been shamefully abused, and just to
spite General Harrison will leave town
without calling to see him at all.
Another caller at the same time was a
young man lrom Eichmond, Ind., who ex
claimed, when told that the General was
engaged and could not see him: "Well, I
had no idea that it was the house of a Czar
I was coming to."
MBS. J. ELLEN TOSTEB A CALLEB.
A woman varied the monotony of the
callers upon the President-elect to-day. She
was Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, and she "claims
that she said nothing to bim about the ad
visability of giving BelvaLoekwood a place
in the Cabinet, bnt went simply to congrat
ulate him upon his election. She is making
a lecture tour through Indiana, and stopped
over here for a couple of days in the course
of it. -
Ex-Governor Porter is in a state of mind
over the officiousness of some friends of his
who have established a sort of literary
bureau to boom him for the Cabinet. One
of the type-written circulars that these
friends have prepared to send to the local
press throughout the State has got into the
hands of the correspondents here, and the
General was informed this afternoon that a
Cincinnati paper would print it to-morrow
morning. The circular is ridiculous in many
of its features, and the whole affair is par
ticularly embarrassing for a man as sensi
tive and cultured as the ex-Governor. He
declares that he is entirely ignorant of the
bnreau established in his behalf, and doesn't
even know who is running it. Th efforts
of the bureau will have little effect so far as
General Harrison is concerned, for he has
no intention of appointing the ex-Governor
to the Cabinet and never has had.
A VERT SERIOUS MATTER.
The complication forced upon General
Harrison by the action of the 77 out of a
total of 93 chairmen of Republican County
Committees who yesterday notified him in
writing that tbey thought Huston onght to
be appointed to the Cabinet, is a more seri
ous matter. The letters were handed to the
General in his parlor late in the afternoon,
and he immediately afterward set out forthe
Journal office, where the whole batch was
laid before John C. New. and the letters
considered behind locked doors for an hour.
It is understood that the President-elect and
Mr. New arrived at a conclusion as to what
was the best action to take in the matter,
but there is no certainty as to what that con
clusion was.
A few ardent friends of Chairman Huston
are sure that he will be appointed to the
Cabinet, but politicians generally refuse to
credit any such idea, and say that if Indiana
is to be represented at all the man is more
likely to be Lew Wallace, or even Partner
Miller, than Huston.
It seems to be generally agreed that all
signs go to show the Cabinet is already
made up in General Harrison's mind.
These fruitless errands all corroborate this
impression, and the President-elect practi
cally admitted as much when pressed pretty
closely by a correspondent this evening.
A MUCH-MARRIED PRINCESS.
Romance of the Beautiful Daughter of tbe
King of the Damps.
rSriCTAL TELEORAU TO Till DISPATCH.
Newt York, January 3. The daughter
of the king of the Williamsburg dumps,
John Krouse, first attracted public notice
by her marriage to John Dooley, a lucky
prospector in the garbage and ash heaps
over which her father held sway. Her de,
sertion of Dooley, a few months after her
marriage, was followed by her espousal of
Jakey Klinch, the dog catcher. She re
mained Jakey's consort until a month ago
when she met Joe McAlister.
"We got married," Joe said to the police
to-day, when seeking information and aid in
Jersey City, "and we went to live at 90
North Fifth street. She told me on the way
to the minister that she was married, but.
as her husband had a couple of wives on the
dump, it would be no harm for her to
marry. I had some money and a little
furniture, and we got along well. I liked
the girl Louise was her name for she is a
little beauty. "Well, about a week ago, her
mother got coming around my house, and
then two young fellows, William and Louis
Kraft, began to visit us.
"I knew their visits meant no good to me,
and sure enough, I was right. To-day,
while I was out tramping about the docks,
looking for work, the mother and the Kraft
boys came to the house and moved all my
furniture away. Louise went with them
helping them to move the furniture. They
have gone to North Tenth street. I suppose
Louise will marry both of the fellows."
The police directed Mr. McAlister to Jus
tice Kaeher.
