DETAILS OF THE LAY OUT. J. L. Sullivan's Latest Escapado Anions His Boston Friends. lEEHER'S IMPORTANT STATEMENT. He Will Eott Anybody a Series of Three Ilaces. GENERAL SPOETIXG SETVS OF THE DAI A movement has been inaugurated in this city to give the Australian baseball players one of the grandest receptions ever seen in "Western Pennsylvania when they come to play here. Al. Pratt is at the head of the movement, and he has mapped out a pro gramme that will surprise the baseball cranks of the neighborhood. Yesterday after noon Mr. Fratt explained the plans as follows: "So far matters liave been conducted in t'.io quietest manner possible. We de-iredtliat the greeting to the travelers when they visit us should be as spontaneous as possible. How ever, our plans have become known, and our plans may as well be made public now as later. Of course the great object is to give the two teams a reception that ill be worthy of their great work of popularizing the American national game throughout the civilized i orld. It will take money to do this, but we can raise every cent necessary without trouble. a gigantic procession. "Now, the first thing we'll decide on is to have a gigantic carriage procession, in which we will invite the Mayor, Chief fJronn and all the city officials to participate. There will be scores of other public representatives invited, and altogether the procession will be an impos ing one, and will be headed by the best band we can secure The procession will meet the clubs at Union depot, and will escort them to some hotel, where a banquet will be given. At the banquet there will be speeches by promi nent people regarding baseball and the players who are now playing In foreign lands. Ifeel confident that our effort will be indorsed by all influential citizens, and I'm just as certain that thereception will bea -very bigaffair. "Pittsburg will not be alone in this respect, that is in the way of organizing a big reception. 'cw York is to pivc a reception, even on a much larger scale than we can think of doinp. Alieady J. 11. Dav, Piesidentof the New York club, in maMni arrangements. He intends to have a p: ocessiou or steamboats meet the players at Sandy Hook. When thej leave the steamer a grand procession of carriages will lead them to one of the best hotels where a banquet of the first-clas kind will bosh en in honor of the returned travelers. Some of the most eloquent orators of New York will deliver speeches at the banquet, and depend upon it the event will create a sensation in baseball circles, and re ception committees arc being organized in various other places, and doubtless the players will be worthily honored wherever they go." ALL IN KEGAL, STYLE. The above glowing picture as painted by Mr. Pratt does not seem in the least overdrawn. That the two teams will travel through the conntrv on their return in regal style, there can be no doubt. So far their journey has been a remarkable one, certainly more remarkable than that of any p.xrty of athletes ever known. Foreign kings, princes and other potentates promoted dinneis. banquets, processions and fetes m their honor. Their efforts in ball playing have commanded the admiration of many thousands of people, and doubtles at this hour, thousands of for eigners are talking of the exciting features of America's national game who never even thought of it before. When all these features arc considered it is no wonder that American citizens are disposed to do something in the way of showing that the great efforts of their players are hcartilv appreciated. The date on which the teams will arrive here is not known yet, nor can it be until they ar rive in this conntrv. The date, however, will be in the early part of April, so that their game will be the first of the season here. This is an important feature w hen taken into consider ation with the factof the reception. The latter will tend to create an enthusiasm in the na tional came here that will give a great boom to baseball. There is still another pleasing and worthy feature in connection with the proposed recep tion. The lricnds of Fred Carroll are talking of making him a handsome present on the oc casion, as a memento ot his trip. He is the only Pittsburgcr abroad, and be has contributed his share toward making the trip successful. OX ANOTHER DKEXK. J. Xj. Snllivnn Onco More the Victim of Ills Enemy .Boston, January 17. It is a fact that Sullivan was on a wild drunk yesterday. He com menced drinking in Mike Clark's saloon, but why he starteo. to drink nobody knows. He proceeded to Patsey Shepard's. He was then in an excited state, and had the same old swagger and bravado that used to characterize him in his previous sprees. In shoit, he was the same old Sullivan. Wannop, the English wrestler, happened to be in the place, and John challenged him to a match. John said he could "lick any man liv ing," and he also knew a thing or two about wrestling. The men locked arms, but the En glishman got an under hold, and before Sul livan knew it he fell on the floor. One down for John Bull was scored and then another trial was made, but this time Sullivan did even worse. There were drinks all around and finally Sullivan departed, more excited than when he entered. Returning to Clark's, he berated the barkeeper for givine him the first drink. Joe Lannon finally dropped in and induced Sullivan to leave and go home. There be passed the evening with a bad attack of re morse until the always faithful Sylvie Goolxin, having heard of John's escapade, came over from South Boston and escorted the champion back to his house, where he remained last mgnt find to-day. A Great Programme. Jim Connors, instructor at the East End Gymnasium, in conjunction with James Dunkerly, is arranging a grand athletic enter tainment for the benefit of the Wood street wreck sufferers.

The programme w ill consist of singinc, clnb swinging, clog dancing, horizon tal bar performance, the whole to conclude with a catcb-as-catch-can wrestling match be tween Connors and Dunkcrlv. These gentle men want to hear from the Carpenters' Union at once. Fought to n Draw. ISrECTAt TELEGRAX TO THE DIRIMTCn.l Erie, January IT.

Y., won the Ladies' Gold Cup yesterday in the international skating con test. The distance was five miles, and he cov ered it in 16m. 45s., the fastest on record. TEEJ1ER TALKS BUSINESS. Ho Says. Ho U Encer to Row O'Connor or Any ainn Intho World n Scries of Tureo Rncci Australian Scullcr-i Overrated. John Tccracr, the cx-champion scalier of Ameiica, accompanied bv Barney Morris, was in the city yesterday on a visit toJackDemp sey, tho champion middle-weight pugilist. Tccmer was looking stout and strong, and ex pressed himself as enjoying the very best of health. Tho c x-chauipion talked frankly about matters aquatic, and during a long conversa tion with the writer made a few interesting statements. He said: 'Regarding my desire to rowO'Connoragain, I can add but little to what The DisrATCU published on Wednesday. I now make the definite statement that I am eager to row tho Canadian again, and I expect that ho will be ready to row me. The difficulty, however, will be in agreeing on a date and placo for the race. I now weigh 193 pounds, and that means that I will need considerable time to get into condition. I will not row him outsido this country, so that if he is determined to be in Australia during March, he will not row me for a long time to come. I don't know whether or not I will go to San Francisco when O'Connor and Gaudaur row. If I go, I will be prepared to row somebody there, and if I feel all right I will procceo. to Australia. I want it understood that I am in no wav connected with Gaudaur and St. John, andif"Igo to Australia I will go only in the interest of mvself and my backers. I am of the opinion that the Australian scullers are somewhat overrated. Taking Kemp as a basis it seems to me that the rowing form in Australia is behind that of this coun ts. Kemp made a great race with Searle as long as he lasted, and tho probability is that if Kemp had held out a lew hundred yards further Searle would have shot his bolt. Bubear beat Kemp, and goodness knows that Bubear is very far behind the best scullers in America. A very inferior man like Jack Largan almost defeated Kemp on the Thames and this con vinces mc that the best scullers in the country aiB much superior to the best in Australia. However. I nave not definitely made up my mind as to what I will do between now and spring. Had I defeated O'Connor at Washing ton I might have been in Australia now. That defeat knocked us out a little financially. As things are now I state positively that I will visit no foreign country except I know that I am in the best possible condition. It seems to me that I will not be able to get into that con dition until about July." "Would you undertake to row arybodv a. scries of three races, say of three, four or five miles, respectively:'' "Well, now that a question like that is asked, I will state frc nkly that I will row any man m the world a series of races such as you name. I will row for a big stake and the winner of two out of the three to take all the money. I will be prepared shortly to issue a definite chal lenge on this point and I'll request that one of the races take place at Pittsburg. I am stating exactlj what I mean without any blowing m tbe least. I have an idea that O'Connor will net go to Australia, and if Ire does not I lmpe he will accommodate me with the three races named." SrRIXTER SMITH RETURNS. Ho Explains How He Was Defeated nt Sbcfllcld. George Smith, the sprinter, returned from England yesterday. During a conversation re garding his defeat in the late Sheffield handi cap, he said: "I'm confident that-1 beat Wheeler in my second heat, and almost everybody who saw us finish thought the same as I did. Loomis, the bandicappcr, told Referee Ted Ellen, that he had made a mistake and so did Ford, tho promoter of the handicap. I think Ellen was watching the race instead of the tape, for I was a heavy favorite. Of course I had my suspic ions. The growl over the unfair decision was so strong that the committee representing the handicap company, which has the power of overruling the referej and ordering another heat if his decision be so manifestly unfair, talked of ordering mother heat, but before it could be done the next heat was called. However, the bookmakers bet 20 to 1 that I would start in the final. I was in the stand, and couldn't be found in time. When found and told of the committee's de cision I couldn't get stripped in time." "Can an American win in England now?" "Well, if he would open up a street between himselt and the next man, he might. Yes, I would hac liked to had the chance to run against Ransom for the final." MTJTRIE'S MISTAKE. He Signed Wnconburst Contrary to the New IicaEiio Rules. Regarding the signing of Wagonhnrst a Sun reporter asked Manager Mutrio if be has not ( violated the new rules by not allowing Presi dent Young to sign the player. Mutrie re plied: "I don't know anything about the rules. I have not received any official notice regarding thcs.gningof players from Mr. Young. Mr. Day toldane to sign this man. and I signed him. I do not know how President Young can grade him, for he does not know as much about him as I do. The lowest salary is only SL500, anyway, and I guess there will bo no trouble about it." As soon as Manager Mutrie found that he might have made a break, he telegraphed to President Young, stating that he had in view a promising young player whom the New York Club desired to engage at once, and requested permission to make a contract with him. Under the new rules contracts are required to be made bv the President or the League, so the latter promptly designated Manager Mutrie to act as his agent in this particular. Rcsnlts nt New Orleans. New Orleans, January 17. To-day's races were run over a very heavy track, but the weather was pleasant, although the sky was partly cloudy. Following is a summary of the events: Kirt race, nine-sixteenths of a mile Benton won in 1:01. Dot second, I'orter Ashe third. Second race, three-quarter of a mile Frobus wonlnl:S.

Mutrie says he may give Wagonhnrst a try in Ward's place. Lew Brows, the once famous League catch er, died at Boston on Wednesday. Sullivan's friends decline to believe that be has resumed his drinking habits. W. H. Beazkll, the local amateur pedestri an, says he has retired from the cinder path. JackDemfsev will leave this.city for New York to-morrow night after his appearance at the Academy. Wharton, the English sprinter, offers to run Harrv Bethune. of this country, 120 yards for $2,500 and allow 1125 expenses to run in En gland. Mr. P. Talhert, of the Inwood Stnd, has sold to-Messrs.

Manager Mutrie, of the Giants, has signed Allwood O. Wagonhnrst. former captain of both the Princeton baseball and football teams. He stands 5 feet 10 inches in height and weighs 1B5 pounds, and is an exceptionally clever base runner. Last season he was en gaged by the Philadelphia club and played with them a short time, but was released in order to curtail expenses. BUD RUN'S DISASTER. The Defendants Win the First Round of tho Trial for csllgcncc. Matjcii Chunk, January 17. The trial of the employes of the Lehigh Valley Bail road, who were the cause of the accident at Mud Bun on October 10 of last year, by which Gl persons lost their lives, was com menced at Mauch Chunk to-day. The first case called was that of Joseph Cook, en gineer ot the first engine that crashed into the train which was standing at Mud Bun station. The District Attorney then read the indictment charging Cook "with neglect or failure to obey orders and willful mis conduct. Counsel at once moved to quash the in dictment, claiming that there were three charges mentioned in as many counts, but not one ofthem was specific or to tbe point. The District Attorney sought to amend the indictment, but Judge Dreher sustained the objection, and the indictment was quashed. The prosecution then drew up another docu ment and presented it to the grand jury, which was still in session. HEADINGOFF CEAIG. The National Transit Company Will RehtfortlieWlulo Sand Oil. ANOTHER BIG DEAL CONSUMMATED By Leading Officials Connected With the Standard Pipe Line. THE ACTIYITT OP THE NEW COMPANY And Extent of Its Operations tho Cause of an Important Purchase. rSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCIt.1 Butler, January 17. The largest deal made in oil property in Butler county since the Thorn Creek excitement was consum mated to-day. Lcidicker Brothers sold all their oil interests in this county to C. A. Hite and G. T. Braden for a cash consider ation of from $53,000 to 560,000. The prop erty consists of 15 wells and leases in the Glade Bun district and two wells and a 50- aore lease at Saxonburg. The gross produc tion of the 17 wells is 170 barrels per day. Though C. A. Hite is a prosperous pro ducer and a prominent opera'tor, his connec tion as Division Superintendent of the National Transit Company has been made the basis of many conjectures, one of which is that the property was purchased for the National Transit Company. This idea seems to be a fact, inasmuch asG. T. Braden is General Field Superintendent of the Na tional Transit Company. The fact that the Western and Atlantic pipe line is boldly pushing its way into the Butler field in spires producers to believe that white sand oil territory will increase in value. FIERCE COMPETITION. The pirje lines are determined competitors for this oil. It is but about two months ago that Joseph Craig & Co. paid over $100,000 for a half interest in the Bakers town field, thereby securing a large produc tion to be transported through the Western and Atlantic lines to their refineries. This new line, unlike the former competitors of the National Transit, is erecting pump sta tions equal to those of the National Transit. There is a station at Bakerstown, one at Valencia, one at Saxonburg, and one under construction at Glade Bun. In the latter district Phillips Bros, and Leideckcrs produce the bulk of the oil, and it would appear that since this sale, the new line would not receive much patronage, and yet there are a goodly number of small in terests in the districts touched by the new line. The Western and Atlantic have fitted up an office in this place, in which to buy oil. There is a buyer also at Millerstown for the accommodation! of producers living there and who operate in districts in the southern part of the country. norrs of troducers. Naturally producers believe that with the present competition for white sand oil that the present premium of 20 cents per barrel may be increased to 40 cents. Without this white sand oil the high grade of refined oil cannot be made. How long Joseph Craig and the syndicate backing him can measure swords with the National Transit-remains to be seen, but there are interesting days near at hand. SENOR PABLO ITASENMI, A Chill Government Oulclnl, Inspecting Our Rnilronds. Senor Pablo Masenlli, Superintendent of Bailroads of Chili, South America, is stop ping at the Hotel Duquesne. The gentle man has been to Europe, and is returning home by way of the States and Mexico.

One thousand miles are now in operation, and COO miles of road are uow being built by a New lone syndicate, ot which Ueneral Field is the head. The cost will be between 518,000,000 and 520,000,000. Senor Masenlli is in favor of the United States supporting lines of steamers to the principal "South American ports, as En gland and Germany now control the trade. Chili is at peace with all her neighbors, and is enjoying a time of high prosperity. Senor Masenlli will spend a day in the city, and will then leave for Chicago. From thence he will go to San Ftancisco. He is accompanied by Mr. C. Dawson, of Phila delphia. ALL OYER THE WORLD. Flttsbnrc Electricity In Used on Jfcnrly All the Continents. Yesterday the Westinghouse Electric Light Company obtained the contract to" furnish a plant of 3,000 lights to the city of Portland, Oregon. The Pittsburg company has now about 140 plants distributed nearly all over the globe. They are erecting the largest plant in the world at London, England. Two plants they furnished to the city of Havana, in the West Indies; another plant is being erected now on the Westinghouse plan in Iniz De Fora, Brazil. Then they have gone to the north as far as Duluth, Minn. Some time ago a large plant was established by Canada capitalists in Toronto, which is to open up tbe way for an extensive concern in the British colonies. Negotiations are also pending regarding a plant to be erected in the Sandwich Islands. E. & P. MEETING. Directors and Officer Elected for Another Year. At the annual meeting held in Erie yes terday the stockholders of the Erie and Pittsburg and Erie Bailway Company elected Directors as follows: William L. Scott, M. H.

The Unknown Stan Killed nt Findlay on the Railrond is Dnn Ilnner. A telegram from Findlay last night stated that the unknown man killed on the Nickel Plate road there a few nights ago has been identified as Daniel Haney, of this city. His mother is said to be wealthy and owns the Haney block, Southside. When found he looked like a tramp, and had a nickel in his pocket. Allegheny Sneak Thieves. Six o'clock last evening the house of T. C. Greggs, 171 Arch street, Allegheny, was entered by thieves and two overcoats stolen. About the same time the house of Mr. Shenklc," on Washington avenue, was visited and two bats and a gold-headed umbrella taken. The police have the matter in hand. About the Gymnasium. In the faculty of the Western University there is some difference of opinion as to whether a gymasium should be established in the new building. The probabilities are that it will be, as most of the professors, not to speak of the students, are in favor of one. Another Stamp Window. The business at- the Pittsburg postoffice has increased to such an extent that the officials have decided to put in another stamp window on the Fifth avenue side, adjoining the present one. THE SECOND CLASS. Allegheny City People Decided to Pat on Metropolitan Airs TUo Change to Mndo In October. Allegheny City has decided to enter the second class. At the joint meeting of Councils last night the vote was as follows: Select Council For second class, Messrs. Brown. Huesken, Henricks, Hartman, Lacock, Lare, Lahugh, L.nghurst, Mulvey, McAfee, Pannier, Renwick, Snaman, Watson and Presi dent Lindsay; tptal, 15. For third class, none. Common Council For second class : Messrs. Badcr. Cruikshank. Drum. Dahllnger, Lbbert, Gerwig, Gill, Gerber. Harbison. Huckestem, Huuter, Ingham, Jones, Kennedy, Kalmeyer, T.nnrlio Tiniifhiii ii.mnr Mil oMlirnnnfT. Mor gan, McKirdy. McGeary, McCarthy, Nceb, O'Brien, Parke, Patterson, Staving. Stockman, Stauffer, Stiffen, Steinhrcnner, Schad, Sproat, J. B. Smith, Watson. Wertheimer and Presi dent Hunter: total, 30. For third class: Messrs. Bittner and McDonald; total, 2. When the citizens of the city were invited into the meeting, John Francis, Jr.,spoke in favor of the" second class. He said tlm Mayor would hare the appointment of 202 officeholders who would expend 5500,000 an nually. In reply to the statement that the citizens' committee, of which he was Secre tary, had been influenced in favor of 'the second class, he said: "The gentleman who says so tells a delib erate, premeditated and thoroughly accom plished lie, and he is no gentleman." Captain W. W. Martin also spoke in favor of the second class, and said the com mittee had been free from political influence. He was followed by J. H. Stevenson, who said the committee had changed their views after hearing Messrs. Watson, Shiras, Elphinstone and Bodgers. Messrs. Henrichs, Wertheimer and Mc Donald got into a wrangle over the former changing his opinion from third to second class. Mr. Watson offered the resolution declaring that Allegheny elected to become a city of the second class Mr. Stefien wanted a provision made that there should be no departments until the city had 123.000 people. City Solicitor Elphinstone claimed this could not be done, but changes could be made in the Council representation according to the population. It was suggested that the Citizens' Com mittee be sent to Harrisburg to secure the necessary legislation on aecount ot their services "in the matter. This was greeted with cries of "Yes, give them a free trip." The suggestion was adopted. As explained by the City Solicitor there would be but two" police magistrates under the new legislation, and there would be no change in Councils. On the discussion of salaries Mr. Gerwig said the salaries could be regulated by Councils, and they could also dispense with the services of any offi cers. It was charged by some of the members present that Mr. McDonald's report was deceptive in the cost of operating a second class city. Mr. Watson said the mistake was in the published report and not the one on file. When the vote was taken Mr. Hnnter moved that it be made unanimous, but Mr. McDonald's quiet "No," on the motion, gave the former a jarring set-back. It was then agreed that the departments should not be organized until October 1, 1SS9. TERRIBLY SCALDED. A Little Son of Butcher Werley Will Probably Die. Testerday morning a 6-year-old son of George Werley, a butcher residing at the corner of Forty-third and North streets, re ceived burns which will result fatally.

Even the Mere Mention of Tes Ever ett's Name for Cabinet Honors MAKES OHIO'S GOVERNOR MAD. Southern Republicans Have Still Another Possibility to Push. A PLEA FOR PROTECTION DEMOCRATS. One Caller on Harrison Who Actually Doesn't TVant Something. rSPECIAL TELEGnAM TO TUB DISPATCn.l Indianapolis, January 17. The Ohio muddle came up before the President-elect to-day, in a fashion that illustrates the funny franticness of Foraker's methods in that State. On Monday, with the Ohio electors, S. T. Everett, of Cleveland, called upon General Harrison, and some news papers next day made a solemn political event out of this incidental call, and even intimated that Mr. Everett himself was being pushed ior the Cabinet by the Sher man people. The basis for this story was that Mark Hanna, of Cleveland, Sherman's best friend, nextio Foster, is at the head of a bank in which Everett is also interested. The only people who seem to have paid any attention to the story were the Eoraker politicians, and they were scared to death. They decided that prompt action was neces sary", and thev sent here to-day George Short and O. P McElrath, of Cleveland, armed with formidable protests against Ev erett's elevation. They told General Harri son that Mr. Everett wouldn't suit Ohio at all, and that he ran away behind his ticket this year. General Harrison heard them through impassively, and showed them out of the door with his usual assurance that what they had said should be considered, just as though there really had been some idea of appointing Everett. moke southeenees coming. B. D. Locke, of Macon, Ga., arrived in Indianapolis to-night, in advance of Colonel A. E. Buck, the Cabinet possibility of Savannah, and Dr. C. W.Arnold, of Albany, Ga., who will be here to-morrow. Mr. Locke says that, white Colonel Buck has been ex tensively mentioned and warmly indorsed for a Cabinet place, his visit here now has nothing to do with that. He and his com panions came, Mr. Locke says, simply to pay a friendly visit to General Harrison, and to talk over the Southern question with him. All three are Bepublicans. Mr. Locke served through the war in the Con federate army, but has been a Re publican ever since the party was organ izes in Georgia. He says that all the people of the South ask is that the Fed eral offices under the next Administration shall be chosen from among the better class of the communities. Where there are no Bepublicans of this class available, Mr. Locke wants the offices to be given to pro tection Democrats. In 1890, when the Con gressional elections come, he thinks the Bepublicans should indorse protection Dem ocrats wherever such are nominated. A protection Democrat is pretty sure to turn into a Bepublican before long, he thinks. THE LEAST OF TWO EV1L3, Mr. Locke doesn't take any stook in inde pendent Democrats, ana says he wouldn't vote for one for anything, but he wants it understood, he says, that while a protection Democrat may be indorsed for Congress, the patronage is to remain in the control of the Bepublicans, right along, wherever any such can be found fit to fill the offices. Captain E. W. Ward, of South Carolina, was another Southern visitor to the President-elect to-day. He is an anti-Mahone man, and represents the element in old North State Republicanism that secured the rescinding, by the legislative caucus last week, of the resolution indorsing Mahone for the Cabinet. William Henry Harrison Webster, who owes his long name to the fact that he was born in the great Tippecanoe year, when the grandfather of the present General Har rison was sweeping the country and stand ing namesake for babies by the dozen, called upon the President-elect to-day and had a most agreeable visit. Mr. Webster has been for 30 years a conductor on the New York Central Bailroad, and as he didn't want any office and didn't care a continental who went into the Cabinet, General Har rison seemed to take a good deal of pleasure in his conversation. J. W. Dwieht, of Dreyden, K. Y., who was a delegate to the last Chicago conven sion, and who is said to be a Piatt man, called upon General Harrison to-day. He is the owner of a ranch in Dakota and was on his way home from a visit there when he stopped over here. STBINGENT 3IAERIAGE LAW. Pecnlinr Reasons for Which a Canndlan Union Is Sought to be Annulled. tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Quebec, January 17. The sensation of the hour is the action by Emma J. Murphy to annul her marriage with John A. Flan agan, after a honeymoon of three days. They are both Boman Catholics, and the ceremony was performed by the Bev. Mr. Love, a Presbyterian clergyman, January 2. The bride now asserts that she is the victim of a clandestine marriage, and that neither the law which prevails in this province, nor yet the Boman Catholic Church, can recognize as valid a marriage between two Boman Catholics celebrated by a Protestant clergyman. Immediately alter the ceremony the bride and eroom repaired to their home near the city." On Saturday, the 5th inst., the bride came to town to see her friends, and failed to return. It is said that she is now an in mate of a convent, though the disconsolate bridegroom cannot be persuaded , that she would not return to him if he could only obtain a brief interview with her. Her friends wish to separate the couple, and they told the wife she had been induced to live as a wife without being a wife at all in the eyes of the law, or yet in the eyes of the church. A priest was sent for by her friends, who assured her that the " pre tended marriase had no valid or legal ef fect, and that it was her duty to separate from him at once.

He denied that the protective system is responsible forthede struction of the American merchant marine, but declared that, even if this assertion is true, he would say that our present general prosperity is quite satisfactory, and, to pre serve that, he was quite willing the merchant marine go. subsidize steamships. Bat he held the war responsible for the destruction of the merchantmarinend saw" in the future the evidence of progress in this direction, and he urged that the snbsidy of steamship lines, which is the policy of En gland, is a policy which may well be fol lowed by this Government. He said that if the United States is to succeed in establish ing supremacy on the seas, she must adopt the same policy which has proved so suc cessful with foreign nations. Upon the suggestion of Colonel Joseph E. Thropp, of Philadelphia, the-meeting sent to President-elect Harrison the follow ing dispatch: Accept from the American protective tariff defenders, assembled at their first annnal ban quet, their hearty congratulations upon your election and the promise of the restora tion of the Government to tbo control of the party which preserved It from enemies within, and will now protect it from hurtful competition from abroad. In you, in fact, wo have a leader worthy to fill the seat honored by Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Arthur. We felicitate ourselves upon having in no small degree aided in bringing about this result: but without such candidates and such principles it could not have hoped to win. Other speeches and responseswere these: "Southern Industrial Growth the Strongest Bond of Union and Peace," Colonel J. F. Hanson, of Georgia, and "The Pacific Coast Its Developmjnt Under Protective Tariff," the Hon. H. W. Morrow. A MIDNIGHT WEDDING. Tho Almost Successful Attempt of nn Alleged Widow to Secure a Fortune Her Sister's Marriage Sworn to as Her Oivn A Bold Scheme. Chicago, January 17. There was a strange disclosure to-day in the case of old Mrs. Nemori Fairchild, who claimed to be the widow of the wealthy supposed bachelor lumberman, Colonel Walter S. Babcock, mysteriously murdered recently in the house of his fiancee at Gardener, 111. Mrs. Fairchild has been trying through the Probate Court here to secure a share of Babcock's estate, though previous to his death none of his relatives or friends had even heard of her. She has almost conclusively shown that Babcock actually did secretly sustain marital relations with her, and has attempt ed to prove that when she was in an ap parently dying condition Babcock called in Bev. W. H. Burns, a Methodist minis ter, who performed a marriage ceremony shortly before midnight The motive hinted at is that Babcock had borrowed consider able money from the woman, and thought to extinguish the debt by marriage, believing her speedy death certain. The testimony of the clergyman left no doubt that a wedding under the circumstances described had taken place. To-day Mrs. Julia Brattan, a sister of Mrs. Fairchild, was on the stand, and the fact croDped out that the minister at Mrs. Brattan's marriage was the same Ber. Mr. Burns. Cross-questioning developed that in every detail of time, place and manner the Brattan wedding was identical with the alleged marriage of Mrs. Fairchild to Colonel Babcock. The trial was at once ad journed, the general opinion being that the queer claim of the ostensible widow had fallen to the ground. OUTRAGES IN MISSISSIPPI. The Governor of the State Appealed to for Needed Protection. Jackson, Miss., January 17. A letter was received here to-night from S. D. Cham berlain, Shagulak, giving a description of the recent alleged outrages in that vicinity. Among other things he says: Crimes have been committed that the out sido world have not dreamed of. Brutes feel ing no restraints of law or honor have en deavored to see how deep they could steep themselves in infamy. Over 40 families have been driven from their homes. Many of these families by years of industry and economy have paid for their lands. These people have committed no crime, unless indeed it is a crime to be born black. No charge has ever been made against them. Threo Jamilies who sent tome yesterday for protection have been noti fied to leave within five days. One woman has a child 11 days old and another a child about 3 weeks old. Their limit will expire to-morrow. We have been criminally negligent in permit ting these outrages to go on almost at our doors without giving any notico to the outside world. It seems to me that tbe Governor of the State ought to place these people back on their farms, and protect them there in the enjoy ment of the fruits of their labor and tbe com forts of their homes if it should take tbe mili tia of the State to do it. Governor Lowry is making diligent in quiry into the facts, and will take all neces sary measures to suppress lawlessness. STARVED THEIR SAILORS. The First Cnptalns of Oyster Vessels Ever Convlctyl of Crnelty. rSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Baltimore, January 17. Captains Bobert Mills, of the oyster schooner Chicora, and Gabriel B. Johnson, of the schooner Minnie Estelle, were convicted to day of cruelly treating their seamen, and also of not giving them sufficient food. Their cases have been on trial for several days, and the witnesses told some harrow ing experiences while down the bay dredg ing for oysters. Those on the Chicora were regularly beaten by order of the Cap tain, the mate having been detailed to per form that duty. Two of the men had been sent to Philadelphia to prevent them giving testimony, but they returned unexpectedly, and it was their evidence that led to the conviction. Captain Johnson, of the Minnie Estelle, is a colored man who treated his crew but little better than did his white prototype. They were found guilty by the jury on all counts in the indictment, and Captain Mills was sentenced to one year in jail and to pay a fine of $500. Captain Johnson was sent to jail for three months. This is tbe first time a captain of an oyster vessel has been con victed on these charges. They generally manage to get away with the witnesses. CDRT CABLEGRAMS.
