The trip of the kill .players from Sydney was seemingly bat a brief interruption to the generous and unstinted hospitality -which they have re ceived at the hands of Australia. The last hour of their stay in Sydney was passed at a reception at the Grosvenor Hotel, where theAJI-Americas made their headquarters. The ubiquitous and flowery member of Parliament, the "Bon. Dan O'Connor, pre sided, and again soared aloft with the American eagle in expressing his admira tion for Americans. The manager of the hotel paid the players a great compliment by stating, in an address, that their gentlemanly deport ment had never been equaled by any of the numerous football or cricket teams that bad patronized his house. Our journey from Sydney to Melbourne was Interesting, but New South Wales in the way of railroad traveling is about 100 years behind the age. We had a special train, and we had to travel 600 miles. The monotony of the travel soon had its ef fects on the players, and they began to ex change visits with each other despite the warning in the car not to lean against the car door, or tbe law inflicting a fine of $2 for open ing It. They would climb from one window to anotner, and after passing a pleasant interval with their neighbors would return to their own bunk again. At one time nine people were squeezed into one of the small compartments, and entertained themselves with speechniaking, recitations and singing. The guards were doubtless horrified, but did not interfere, and gave the players every opportunity of getting out wlien the train made short stops. The people on the sleeper were somewhat more comfortable. There were five ladies in tbe party, and thee with their husbands and a few others nearly filled np the car. IT WAS DULL AND DINGY but palatial compared with the car occupied by the players. It had none of the conven iences of the modern sleeping car when made np for retirement. The lower berth was not over a few Inches from tbe floor, which made the upper berth reasonably comfortable. The mattresses were hard and thin and the pillows were scarce larger than what a self-respecting little grl would demand for a respectably sized doll carriage. There were no curtains in front to give privacy to the sleepers, and the ladies were put by themselves In the forward end of the car. a curtain separating the two sections. Everything was cheap and uncomfortable and but little better than the compartment car, where tour people slept on two lounges, blan kets and pillows being furnished by the guards. The supper station was at a place called Matta cong. Twenty-five minutes was the time al lowed, but most of it was spent in having a poor meal served slowlv, and the party returned to the cars, as the bell sounded almost as hungry as when they entered tbe saloon. Everybody was awakened at 6 o'clock in the morning when a place called Albery was reached. This is on the dividing line between the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria. A change of cars is made and baggage is in spected by the custom house officers. Victoria is a strong protection colony, while New South Wales believes in free trade. So Intense is the enmity between the colonies that the gauge of the road Is changed, that of the Victorians be ing much widerabout 5 feet 3 Inches. The cars are also much more comfortable. They are roofed like American cars and have wide seats, that give more comfort to six people than four obtained in the cats from Sydney. They made splendid time, and the distance to Sydney was made at an average speed of 4S miles per hour, going at times as nigh as a mile per minute. THE BOYS AT SIELBOUENE. We arrived in Melbourne and were enter tained like lords. The boys, however, took care of themselves. As representative base ballplayers they are not only reflecting credit on themselves but on the American national game itself. One of the most noteworthy events of the week was a banauet tendered them last night by Charles Warner, an able En glish actor, who has made a great success in tbe colonies. It was a delightful affair. Melbourne is considered the great sporting center of the colonies, and a big crowd was expected at tbe opening game on Saturday afternoon at tbe Melbourne cricket ground. Much interest was felt In the game, and a somewhat general feeling was expressed that the game would probably take a firm hold. The favorite sport here is f ontliall, but that Is re served for winter, when 25,000 and 80,000 people turn out to see a game. Cricket is not esteem. ed as highly as in other years, though it is still called the national game. So much has the Interest in it lessened that scarcely 100 people attended the matches when the All-England eleven were here last year. The two ball teams played a great game .in the afternoon ; they played with vim and spirit. The contest ended in an hour and a quarter, and as this short performance didn't suffice an other game as played between tbe Chicagos and seven cricketers and two of the All Amer icas. - Howeve:, the good points that aroused the Sydney people, such as fielding and base running, aroused the Melbourne people. BASEBALL PKOSPECTS It maybe somewhat premature to predict the possibility of its having made a lasting impres sion, hut tbe chances are favorable for such a result. Tbe cricketers who played said they liked it sufficiently well to try again. While passing out of the gate I overheard a conversation between two of tbe spectators that comes near expressing what I think was the popular verdict on the game. The speaker had the appearance of a workingman, and he said: "Those Yankees are smart fielders. There 's more sport and fun in one of their games than there is in six games of cricket; but it will never supplant cricket." The native papers think that baseball clubs will be organized here. Some papers claim and argue that cricket will be the favorite game for a long time. It is admitted, how ever, that cricket, professionally, is on tbe wane, and that tbe elements of excitement and dash, as well as skill, are superior in baseball. Tbe visit of tbe baseball clubs is gladly commented upon, and It is not unlikely that the game will ulti mately find firm ground here, especially as the betting people appear to be interested.

The trip around the world has been decided upon. Much of the arrangements depends on the willingness of the League magnates to ex tend the date of the openi.ig of the baseball season to May L Mr. Spalding does not expect to make the trip pay, but hopes to be able to recoup somewhat by a series of games in the principal baseball centers on his way from New York to Chicago. The two teams will play their second game here this afternoon. On Christmas morning they leave for Adelaide, where they will play two games. They will play a game at Ballarat and return to Melbourne next Saturday night. S. GOODFRIEND. WORE LOCAL TROTTERS. Mr. Robitzer Resolves to Bare a First Class Stable. Something like a, bona fide effort is being made by a Pittsburger to establish a stable of trotters. Mr. John T. Z. Robitzer, the Liberty street liquor dealer, has made a resolve to fully enter tbe ranks in the first-class degree or not at alh He has started in tbe right way, and already has a stock of nine horses, the oldest being only 4 years. Mr. Robitzer has been accumulating on the quiet for some time past. Now that he has resolved to enter his 4-year-old in races this year inquiries were made yes terday regarding his new stable. Mr. Robitzer has, among his nine horses, two promising youngsters. The best looking, prob ably, is a 3-vear old stallion named Nat Good win, dam "Lilly Swartz, by Vermont Black Hawk. Nat has alreadv attracted the eye of all the best local judges. He is a well-built colt, and has remarkable speed. Ho will be tried In races this ear, and may be used a lit tle in the stud next fall. Probably Mr. Robitzer's most popular horse will be John Davis. He is 4 years old. and is by Oberlin, who is by Harold, sire of Maud S. John Davis last fall showed a 2:40 gait, and Mr. Robitzer is confident he will win a purse or two this year. Ho certainly will be tried. He will be entered in local races in the way of making a debut. Among tbe remaining seven are two Blue Bull mares. They will be bred to Nat Good win, and In this way Mr. Robitzer expects to rear some good stock of his own. The balance are yearlings, and all by well known horses. The stable is under the care of Mr. Martin Wing. He broke Nutwood and Duquesne, and both of these stallions have earned a national reputation. Mr. Wing is confident that Nat Goodwin and John Davis will very soon get into the 0 class. He says that Davis is just as promising a goer as Nutwood was. CAREFUL ABOUT THE CASH. Anxious Prepnrntions for the McAuIifle and Meyers Bnttle. Stkkatob, 111., February 8. To guard against taking so large an amount of money to tbe ring side at the coming contest between Billy Myers and Jack McAuliffe, the backers of the pugilists have decided on the Chicago Jnter-Ocean as the final stakeholder. A private dispatch to Alf Kennedy states that J.N.Taylor.of Boston, the temporary stake holder, will arrive in the city on Saturday and turn over the $3,000 now in his possession. Tbe remaining $2,000 will be deposited on the day of tbe fight. A report from Danville, I1L, says the fight will come off at that place to-morrow night. But such is not tbe case. Tbe fignt will undoubt edly take place before the loth Inst, probably about the 12th, within 70 or 80 miles of Chi cago. Tbe greatest secrecy is maintained in order to escape the officers of the law. Both men are trained to weight, and are ready at any moment to step Into the ring. Interference is not wanted, as each man is desirous of having the question ot supremacy settled. It is thought the fight will be a long one. Will Go to Hot Springs. There was a meeting of the directors of the Cleveland club yesterday afternoon. At it tbe plan of early spring conditioning of the team at Hot Springs, Ark., was approved, and the men will gather therebetween March 10 and 15. Manager Lof tus was notified to that effect by wire, and will so order the men to report. General plans for the season were also dis cussed, but nothing of public interest was done. Sheffler, tbe fielder who came in with the Detroit deal, was released. He cost $700 and brings in nothing. Some days ago J. F. C. B act hurst, attorney for the Brotherhood of Ball Players, wrote on Sbeffler's behalf to the Cleveland club, and on his plea the player was set free. He claims to have offers from several clubs, is not salable property, and isn't fast enough for the National League. Plain Dealer. Mohicnn Dead. Tekre Haute, Ind., February 8. Mohican, the most valuable stallion of W. R. McKeen's Edgewood Stock Farm, and one of tbe best known horses of the Western country, died at 1 o'clock this afternoon of congestion and kid key trouble. President McKeen is reputed to have paid $17,000 for the stalliou in 1S87 to J. D. Yeomans. of Buffalo, N. Y. This is the second severe loss suffered by President McKeen's stock farm. Keina Victoria, his $7,000 brood mare, and a half sister to Mohican, dying last Fridaj. President-elect Harrison visited Edgewood Stock Farm three weeks ago for a day of recre ation and inspected the valuable stallion. Mo hican's sickness began last Monday. A Fight This Morning. If FECIAL TXLEGBAM TO THE DISFAf CH.1 PHILADELPHIA, February 8. The fight between Bob Caffey, the game and clever horseshoer of Trenton, and Mike Boden, the famous Canadian, will take place at daybreak to-morrow in Delaware. The battle will be strictly private, and to a finish. Several New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Camden and Atlantic City sporting men will go to see the fight. Ed Bradford and Jimmy Ryan will second Boden, and Caffey will be seconded by Mike Cleary and Jim Murray. The referee will be selected on the ground. . Mr. Booth's Pacer. William Booth, of Allegheny, has purchased a promising young pacer from tbe Jewett farm, Ohio. He is 5 years old, is named Billy P, and is by Billy Green. JoeHeldeger has him now in charge, and Joe says that he has gone a mile in 229. Whether this be true or not, he is a good-looking fellow, and will be tried in races at Wheeling, Washington and this city this year. Another Big Race. Ne.w York, February 8. In addition to tbe two stake races ot 5,000 each, one for the 3-minute and tbe other for the 236 class, to be trotted over the track of the driving club of New York next fall, tne Executive Committee of that club have decided to give a 4-year-old stake race for foals ot 1SS5, $100 entrance, and the club will add S500 to the stake. The Female Runners. Manager Davis received six entries yester day for his three-day female pedestrian con test, which takes place at the London Theater on the 21st iust. Aggie Harvey, tbe well known No. 2, has written from New York, stat ing that she will certainly start in the race. About five or six of the contestants will com mence training in tbe theater on Monday. The Baldwin Shooter. The Baldwin Gun Club held an interesting shoot at the Point View Hotel yesterday. The chief event was the match between Messrs. Slicker, Reilly and Hopper, which was won bv the first named. Mr. Slicker broke 20 out of 23 blue rocks; Hopper broke 14 and Reilly 10. Tbe next shoot will take place February 23, at which there will be two matches. The Bir Sale. LExrjfGTOir, February 8. Many prominent horsemen have already arrived jn the city to attend tbe great breeders' sale of trotting stock which begins here next Monday. Dnrlng this" and the sale of tbe succeeding week, over 1.200 horses will be sold, the largest number ever offered at one time. Wants Them Ready. Mr. E. W. Hagan will bring his two young trotters. Garnet H and Queen Wilkes, to the city to-day from Washington, Pa. They have been on tbe grass for some timeand Mr. Hagan proposes to commence and give them plenty of road exercise. Spurting Notes. Dunlap and Conway are now at Hot Springs. H. Ellis. Dempsey and McCaffrey boxed ten rounds for points and tbe former won. New York City authorities have com menced to pull down the fences of tbe Polo grounds. The entries for tbe spring meeting of the Memphis Jockey Club closed Thursday with 294 nominations. Mr. Sheridan has been engaged as starter. The meeting will begin April 22 and end May L TBE DeSoto Club, of Minneapolis, will offer a purse of 31.000 for a finish fight between Domlnick McCaffrey and Jack Dempsey, if their terms are not accepted by the California Athletic Club. Manager PniLLirs emphatically denies that anybody connected with the local club ever thought of not giving Chuck Lauer every Eosslble chance to make a name for himself, tatements to the contrary are neither true nor fair. IT IS FINISHED. Continued from Firit Page. the current can be mado from mild to painful. Now couldn't that in the hands of a malicious person be a mild form of torture, of extreme punishment? A Yes, it could be made an instrument of torture. It would not necessarily draw blood. I never knew it to, but in a case of a powerful shock 1 don't know what it might do. I never heard the doctor swear. I always thought Maharneke was very kind, so far as I saw. I remember Dutch Henry having a straight jacket on, and he told Maharneke he wouldn't behave if he had it taken off. He swore he wouldn't, as evoryone, including tho authori ties, had imposed upon him. Slagle Is Henry still in the hospital? Maharneke Yes, sir. Mrs. Mair Did I understand you to say you could stand the full force of the battery! Holman I think I could. Mrs. Holden-Wouldn't it be more painful If it were put on the tongue? A Not necessarily so. He was then excused, and Chaplain Milligan took the stand. He had been chaplain since 1SC9, and his duties wore to hold service in the female department Sunday morning; also two more services. He also had charge of the mail and moneys sent to friends; also supervision of the library. He goes around the blocks every day. He had access to all prisoners ana tne hospital. Kelly How often do you visit the hospital? Milligan Sometimes frequently, and some times not for two or three days, unless I am sent for. Every prisoner going out to work Is atlowed to drop a note in the box if he wishes without let or hindrance. Don't Like the Stralghtjackct. Q. Have you ever noticed any forms of cruelty? A 1 have never seen anything except the straightjacket. Q. Do you consider that cruel? A Well, candidly and honestly, I don't like the straightjacket, but I never heard any com plaints of cruelty. I understand jackets were medical treatment. I heard them complain they were on so long they wished they were off, and that a man could never get well with them on. Q. Did you ever hear complaints? A I heard not very long ago; No. 8658 com plained to me that the influence of the battery had been very painful, and affected his ears. I don't know why it was used on him. I never heard of the doctor extorting money in any way. Maharneke What was tbe tendency of the language of prisoners to me? ' Milligan I never heard any remarks about you, either kind or unkind. Wright Can you remember of how McPhil lamy got into the hospital August 30? Milligan I can't remember that date. I was at an encampment at Conneaut Lake about that time. Scott Do you recall the circumstance? Milligan 1 remember seeing McPhillamy in bed all doubled up. He said he was very sick indeed, and I spoke to the doctor about' him, as I do frequently. I visit the cells in the morn ing to deliver letters, and sometimes it takes me from 1030 until 1 in the afternoon. It is then I can talk to tbe men in regard to relig ious or maybe family matters. Any prisoner has perfect liberty to speak to me. Some of the prisoners say the doctor flies off too easily. I never heard a word with regard to money transactions. McPhillamy Do you know what occurred after speaking forne,in my cell? Tho Chaplain Heard No Oaths. A No, sir. When I went over to the hos pital to stay an hour or so it might be that I would not see the doctor at all. Of course I saw him frequently, as far as meeting and pass ing him goes. McCutchcon What would you judge as to these charges of profanity? Milligan I can only say 1 never heard him swear. They wouldn't know when I was going to the hospital. The next person sworn was Rev. E. E. Done, hoo In reply to questions from Maharneke he said he was a member of the Allegheny Connty Ptison Society, and bad been connected with it for 20 years. He had free access to the prison, and goes wherever he wishes. He had heard no talk whatever of Maharneke's conduct, and never any complaint as to profanity. Maharneke What about tbe patients' treat ment? Donehoo I never yet received any com plaint, and I think I enjoyed their confidence. Kelly And corruption? Donehoo Not until tbe publication of the testimony taken here. I heard a little com plaint about men being kept in their cells be cause there was no work for them. Ordinarily I would mention it to the warden, or maybe to Inspector Reed, as we frequently dined to gether. Nothing of cruelty, bnt prisoners here have their compliints as well as in any prison. I met Maharneke frequently. Another officer of the prison was called for the defense, John Eisley. He had been here since 1SS1 in various positions, finally landing in the hall with duties to examine all cells for contraband articles. Money In the Prison. Kelly Are you ever in the hospital? Eisley No, never, unless Imlght bring a man over to get a tooth pulled. piaharneke Did I ever come to the prison Intoxicated? A No. sir, I never knew of it I was in the rotnnda IS months. I beard general talk about the doctor's receiving money, but I never knew of it personally. There was a time when there was money in tbe prison. Kelly-What did you do with it? A Confiscated it, tj. How is that? A. I gave it to the warden or to his clerk. They can bring money into tbe prison without an officer knowing anything about it The men who come in under the contract system to instruct the prisoners how to make shoes prob ably brought tne money in. Since the system has been abandoned it is harder to get money in. I know nothing of the money transactions mentioned in regard to the Doctor. Kelly What about betting? A During tbe time of the shoeshop I knew of betting on horse races. Kelly Did you ever have a talk with Robi son? A Yes, he told me personally the other day he had no doubt Maharneke got the money from McPhillamy. I heard no amount men tioned, some saying $200 and some $300. I never knew of it myself, however. A Flash In the Pan. This seemed to make things interesting once more, and another keeper, Stewart, was sworn. He Is a steward and looks after supplies, and has been here 29 years, and was prison steward 14 years. Maharneke Hate you ever heard I received money for delicacies? Stewart I never did. Q. Did you not see these men get delicacies? A. I was never upstairs and had no talkwth patients after they left the hospital. They never complained to me. I do not come in con tact with the prisoners much. I never heard complaint of money, butl heard prisoners refer to them. Tbey would say the doctor used to keep their eggs or'somethlng. Kelly How many times? A I suppose three or four. Slagle Evidently likes eggs. Q. What abont oaths? A. It may be strange or startling, but Inever heard him utter an oath. In case of extreme sickness I take extraordinary pains to fill an order. Sometimes I pay to get them down here from tbe town. I keep a memorandum and make out a bill at tbe end of tbe month. We fenerally send a messenger boy for the food rom town and it is cooked here. Slagle 'Spose I were in the cell, how conld I get extras? Stewart Yon couldn't get it from the cell. I never beard the Doctor use profane language, and I said it might be remarkable, because the evidence seems to be the other way. I hear others speak of it, bnt I will not allow profanity in my presence. Mm. Mair What is the average for delicacies for tbe hospital for, say, six months? A Weil, some patients require a good deal. Used tbe Battery on a Babe. Robert Casky, an officer, was sworn. He has a long gray beard, and entered the institution on tbe 19th of August, 1833. He had been deputy warden for years when there was no pay attached. He now bad a sort of general position, especially a guard at the female de partment v Maharneke When I was In prison what did you use to bring me? Everything I wanted? Cask'y Yes. sir, and l often go among the patients. I never, noticed any cruelty or heard of any complaints nor ever did I hear one oath from him. Don't know anything about his re ceiving money.' Never heard of his being in toxicated. I used the battery myself Isold times. Maharneke Wasn't the battery used within the year in the female department? A I did not see it used, but I heard of it I know he used tbe battery on a baby troubled with paralysis. It didn't halloo. The witness was then excused. Prisoner Wheeler was carried In a poor, crippled, paralyzed man, whose testimony was Bometblng dramatic, He had been here since September, 'Si. He often- had the battery tried, every day. In fact Maharneke Does it benefit you? Wheeler Yes, in a certain way. My legs have an aching sensation, and it knocks the pain out of tbem, but it comes back. Q. Did I ever treat you cruelly? A Not the last time, bnt tbe first time. I understood it was by Dr. Holman's orders. I took your word for it I had the rheumatism back of tbe neck. They said they thought I wasn't sick. They said I was able to work, and I must work. While walking in the line I be gan to stagger, and Warden Wright ordered them to put the battery to my feet Created a Sensation. They just put it to mo a little, hut not as he said. Tbe doctor came to me and examined me, and in the evening they strapped me down and put It to me so I couldn't stand It. I said it wasn't fair, as I was sick. Me said I mutt work. Then to get them to take the battery off I lied. I said 1 was playing off. Sensation. Then I was sent hack to the block, and Wright said 1 was tbe greatest player he ever saw, Rankin came back and examined me and said something was wrong with me, and I have been treated well ever since. Maharneke Ton wouldn't work, yon said. Wheeler I said that, but I said to the deputy, "I am not playing off," and in the condition 1 was I would die In a dungeon. Somebody deceived him. Iknow.forftanklnlsal.lnd man and Wrirht 1 would not have Ill-treated me. 1 had enough to ao to taxe care ui myseii ana aon't Know ox others. fccott-How long d(d they keep' the battery on yon? Wheeler I dunno, I was so "skeercd." They tried to hold me, and they had to tie me. They could hold me easily enough till they put the bat tery to me. I had heard electricity would kill a man. It felt as if a man grabbed me and tried to blow me apart. I couldn't say If It was kept on me an hour or not. When I lied to him 1 said 1 would walk without limping,. bat when I got out I gut string halted again, and they took me back. I couldn't help it. McPhillamy Where was the battery applied? Wheeler Well, all over. Frank made two or three passes at my mouth, bathe missed it and I got It in the head. Then In answer to qnestions as to swearing witness caused everybody to laugh by pointing a thumb to Mcl'hlllamy as tbe one who swore. All through his testimony the poor fellow showed a keen Idea of humor that was really all the lunnler on ac count of the fearful contrast offered by a sight of his paralyzed, helpless form. McPhillamy was all smiles at the c ncluslon, and thought he had secured a good witness. An Obliging Witness. Keeper Fox was brought in and sworn. Kelly Arc you willing to testify? Fox Cheerfully anything at all to please you folks. In answer to qnestions he said he was a pris oner, but Is known as a bead nurse in tbe hospi tal, lie tended to everything inside and reported dally to Maharneke. Maharneke Do you remember the attempted escape? Didn't you tell me you wanted some bedsheets? Fox Yes. sir. Maharneke Did you get them? Fox N o, sir. 1 have the key to the-cupboard. I gave Mel hlllamy tbe key occasionally, but there was always somebody down there with him. Q. Did yon ever see me cruel? A. Well, I saw two very Blck patients handled rough In order to control them. Yes, I saw chicken and eggs there. I never saw yon taking money or heard of It while 1 was there, but some time before Q. Did you ever hear me swear? A. Yes; yon used profane language and I did also. I heard d n frequently. 1 couldn't swear to other words. Q. Did you c er see McPhillamy with a dic tionary? A. Yes; It was about rheumatism. He showed me a plate showing bones. 1 beard, or rather read In the papers, you bad received money. As far as 1 know Sammy was pretty far gone, but by injec tion, etc., we brought him too. Scott What about the cruelty? Fox Well, I hit a man once, but outside of that and the battery, there was nothing else. I loaned no sheets to anybody. I loaned the key to Mc Phillamy. The Mysterious Sheets. Wright Would you detect McPhillamy taking the sheets? Fox McPhillamy never took the sheets, I say. Wright-What dla McPhillamy give you two silver dollars for? Fox lie never did. I only learned of the escape that night when 1 was wakened and rang the bell. Wrlght-Where did they get thehooks? Didn't you get them? Fox-I don't know; I didn't get them. Maharneke Didn't I tell you not to let that man go to sleep In that room? Fox Yes. you did. Wright For tbe sake of getting at the truth of this, I promise no punishment. Were you In any manner or form connected with that escape? Fox-I was not. I believe Fanning took' those sheets on that Sunday night. I believe he took them when be bad charge of them, taking tbem to the laundry. Maharneke How do you account for the saying they were new sheets? A. I didn't say so. I often saw the doctor and McPhillamy talking, but not in a suspicious way, I don't know of the peddling of whisky. I bear it Is done, but I don't know. The most 1 had access to was four onnces. The doctor always kept tbe alcohol In his room under lock and key. McPhlllamv You remember when 1 was In the hospital the first time and what was wrong with me? Fox Yon took the regular fever treatment, hut what was your disease 1 never heard. O. Do you remember any trouble I had? A. Yes. 1 believe with the head nurse. Then you and the doctor had some words. It was some thing about an ankle being burnt. Q. You sav I got the regular fever treatment? A. Yes, Ido. I can repeat the lormula. 1 re member you being ordered to bed. Q. Don't you remember I wanted liankln to examine me before Maharneke put the soda poul tice on? Marriage Civilized Him. A. Yes, Ido. I don't know who ordered you out of the hospital. Yes, you were ordered to bed the same day you were taken back to the block. Maharneke used to swear frequently, but has be come sort of civilized since he was married. McPhillamy Did you ever see the doctor strike a man? Fox Yes, I have. I don't know how often. Q. Did anyone go after the doctor the night the man 8737 nearly died? A. Yesiandhe cameafterwaid. I remember I went after the doctor to trv and get him loosen the sick man and take off the straightjacket. It was at your suggestion. I don't know how long be remained in bed, I only saw the battery used once. His lips were bleeding, caused, as near as I could understand, by his trying to get away. Yes, he was a little roueher used than I wonld wish. . McPhillamy Do you remember Keck ? A. Yes I remember him. He was taken downstairs very early. He fainted, bnt who put the battery on him I don't know. He had some kind of sickness after, quinsy for one thing, and a fever, I believe, snortly alter this. Kelly Let us adjourn for dinner now. Mcl'hlllamy I want to be with this man In the Interval. . A little discussion arose, but the fiery examina tion continued. Bismarck Struck Him. McPhillamy And about this dictionary? Fox You were the first man I ever "saw. Yes, S.TC had the fever, but I don't know if it was caused by the battery. Q.-Did you not see him bleeding at the mouth? A. -Yes, I remember now. He was unruly that day. I believe .Bismarck struck blm. Q. Maharneke thought I had too much to say, eh? A. I heard him reprimand yon. Q. You know of Maharneke getting money? A. -I do not. He may have got $10,000 and I wouldn't hear It. Q. Did you ever see milk taken and water poured back? A. Mow, I wonldn't say, but a colored man was accused for It. Q. And the medicine? A. Yes. I saw them put water in the medicine. Here an adjournment was made until after dlu- I ner, while Mcrnmamy kept a careless but watch ful eye on the young man. THE LAST BOUND. McPhillamy Calls One Witness a Perjurer Some Queer Evidence by Mnhor- neke'a Witnesses Remarkable Close of the Sensa tlbnal Investigation. . Directly after dinner witness Pox was re called and McPhillamy again began: "Do you remember of chicken coming in since January 1?" Fox There has been no chicken or butter brought into the hospital since January 1. Oh, yes, Charley Leisenberger got some butter. 8493 got eggs this year but no one else. This settled Fox's testimony, and it looked as if McPhillamy wefo well pleased indeed with Maharneke's witness, and Mrs. Mair, the only one of tbe ladies who had stayed, and was stay ing the whole thing out, seemed equally pleased. Frank Auckenbaugh was called and sworn. He had been in tbe penitentiary over' three years, and over a year in tbe hospital. He first went as a patient, bnt is there now as Assistant Hospital Steward. Kelly-What are your duties? Anckcnbaugh-I am under the Doctor's (Ma harneke) orders, and assist In putting up the medicine. Maharneke Frank, do you remember the day you gave me a note for McPhillamy? A. Yes, he (Maharneke) told me about my ow ing McPhillamy. I showed him the note, and he told me to give It to tbe warden. I never heard you got money from him. I did not know anything about the attempted escape. Maharneke What about my abusoof patients? A. Well, never severely so. 1 don't recollect anv bad case. Q. Did you ever see anybody In a Jacketin the hospital? A. Yes, in my opinion It was necessary, as they were supposed to be Insane. I saw the battery used. I don't think anybody, was ever hurt. 1 saw the battery on Dutch Henry. I think hell a dangerous man. Q. Did he ever attempt to bite you? A Patient in a Straightjacket. A. Yes, he bit me once. In tbe case of little Sammy, the first time he had typhoid fever and pulled through all right though the doctor had given him up. The second time I was called up to his cell. He said be was sick and wanted to write to his mother. He said he wasn't used right and could not live till morning. He went to the hos pital where be is now. Q. Where Is he now? A. He is now in the hospital in the straight Jacket. Q. Do you know of any acts of cruelty? A. Ido not. I don't know just whether it is for punishment or medical treatment. Mo, I never knew of you receiving money for chicken or eggs or butter. Q. What about my profanity? A. I never heard any with the patients, but I have when you were handling cranks. Kelly Do you know of any whisky or alcohol being sold? Auckenbaugh No. I never did. I never sold any whisky myself. The only time I had any use of tbe alcohol was when you prepared a mixture. Kelly You know of the attempted escape. Did you see Maharneke In conversation with JlePhli lamy In a way that aroused your suspicions? A. No sir. I have seen them together. Nor did 1 ever know of any money being borrowed. The first 1 knew of the escape was when the night nurse told me McPhillamy, Fanning and Shay were out of the ward. Q. Did you notice anything suspicious or bow the sheets were obtained? A. 1 don't know this for sure, butl heard the nurses say the next day that when the beds were changed Sunday morning instead of the sheets be ing taken downstairs they were put In tbe middle room. This is only my Idea. Wright When did you hand me that note? A. -Sometime In January. No, I did not owe him any money. McPhillamv-1 don't think it's right to make this man liable this way. Auckenbaugh 1 only owed him J2 and I paid htm back the same day. Wright What happened when you were talking to him at the cell. A. He wanted something to eat. Yes, be spoke to me again about the note. I told him Wright had the note. Q. What else afterward? A. 1 dld't hear an thing else after that except. Well, shortly after that he called the Doctor to his cell, so the Doctor said, and wanted me to sot tie that matter up. I never saw much money in MePhlllamy's possession. I don't know what be came of it. No. I never knew of his betting. I heard them talking abont the election. I can't say Just how much they were going to bet. I never saw McPhillamy gettlnga S20 notechanged. Well, hearsay can't go, you know. Habitual Profanity Severely Cruelly. Slagle What about Kobinson's statement? Mc Phillamy gave him his money because he was afraid Frank would beat him? A. Mo; I don't know anything about it. Mrs. Mair Have you heard habitual profanity In the hospital? A. Well, sometimes; but not very often. Scott What do you mean by saying patients were not "severely cruelly" treated? A. I saw the battery used on a man. Yes, I meant treatment by the battery. Scott Were these two men injured by the bat tery? A. Not that I know of. Scott-Who ordered it? A. It was ordered by Maharneke. Scott Did you ever see Maharneke take the bat tery to nse as a punishment? A. Well, I have seen him use it on some noisy men who were in a lackec Scott Did you notice any bodily injury? A. I don't know. I never saw any. He was not in the habit of using protane language. There has been a big change In him for several months hack. Mrs. Mair Mr. President. Is It customary to apply the battery to thelnsane, either here or else where? Dr. Itankln We don't nse It on the insane, but only when we think they are playing oft. Mrs. Mair-I thought there was no doubt about Dutch Henry's insanity? Mcl'hlllamy What was wrong with me when I first went to the hospital? Aukenbaugh Yes, I went to your cell and found your head very hot. Mcl'hlllamy You say you never knew of me having money. Didn't you carry 120 to 77Ji? A.-Ao, sir. Q.--You never gambled? A. There was no gambling between us. When you said we should throw for money I threw the dice In the stove. Yes, I did bet ou baseball. I bet once with you. Q.-Dld you not bet r50with me. Dldyoa not bet 10 a day with several men. Did you not come to the block every day? A. No, no (to everything). Captain (to Wright) ilow long did yoa have that note before you came to me? Wright A short time but half an hour, I guesc Denounced as a Perjurer. McPhillamy Yet you swear I asked yon the next morning not to give the note to the war den? Kelly-What has that to do with it? McPhlllamy-What has that to do with it! (ex citedly). That man has perjured himself since he sat there. He hasn't answered one single question with the truth. Scott (quJetly)-McPhillamy, let that go now. Mcl'hlllamy Don't you know I always had money ? You asked me for (10 one night and I had no change, bnt showed you a ,100 bill. I loaned you $2, though. A. Yes, and I returned It, didn't I? jjiciniiamy ies, yon aia. Hereanother little tilt occurred between the two that showed Frank didn't have tbe memory of McPhllllamy. Aukenbaugh in answer to a question said: The battery had no efTecton a man, and they tried to scare him. They kept blm on the bed quite a while and said they would chloroform and cut blm up. Mcl'nllamy You remember Keck Slagle We have allowed a very wide latitude, but 1 don't think we have time. Kellv-I feel disposed to grant all privileges pos sible, out I think you are taking up unnecessary time. McPhillamy The warden brought in this bet ting and money matter, and the witness has proved he just told the warden a lie. Aukenbaugh (In answer to the previous qucs-tIon)-Yes, Keck had a sick spell after the battery was used. Q. Don't you remember when he came In to the supper table very angry? A. Ido not. McPhillamy (wearily, to Kelly)-I give him up. And the witness was excused, a relief, proba bly, for be and McPhillamy were uncomfortably close for the little fellow. He Conldn't Soe It. Deane was sworn, who said he was an officer of the prison, and used to be in the hospital. Maharneke Did you ever hear me use profane language? Desne-Never in the hearing of the prisoners, Q. Did you ever see me intoxicated? A. No. sir. I used to be in the hospital regular. I never saw any acts of cruelty. I never heard any complaints. I never saw anything suspicious. I never knew of Maharneke getting money from prisoners. I never knew of any whisky being sold. At one time 1 thought I found alcohol in a cell, but 1 think It turned out to be benzine. Crone was then sworn. He had been an officer here for four years, and was in a state of general ignorance In regard to the charges against Mahar neke. He told nls story of the attempted escape. Wright Did you receive instructions the night of the attempted escape? Were you persuaded, hired or coaxed to stay at a certain side of the house at a certain hour? Crone No, 1 was at my regular post. Kelly Was there anything In Maharneke's be havior to lead you to think he had anything to do with the escape? A.-No, sir. Inspector Heed being sworn, said, in reply to Maharneke: "I went Into the hospital once, and you said you had McPhillamy here, and 'I am going to watch him. He Is a dangerons man.' " Slagle It Is said you were spoken to of cruelty to -Gyp?" Reed Yes. I asked Miller how his face was scratched, and he said it occurred in bathing, and 1 said he should not complain. blagle As I understand It, etc. Iteed You are wrong. That was another case entirely. I remember how Miller laughed, and said he could get anything he wanted, and showed ine a Wateruury watch as evidence. I never dreamed be meant Maharneke. Again the Cnptala. Warden Wright then took the seat again, and, in answer to Maharneke, said; "Yes, sir; I had heard complaints of cruelty at your hands In the hospital. 1 received anonymous notes; talked with discharged prisoners and with you; but In no Instance did 1 find It true." Maharneke -Did you hear whisky was sold? right Not connected with you. Those contra band articles do get In. Q. Did you give orders for me to look up moneys? A. Yes: we made a big raid, but It was a fiasco; but since theu you told me of some curious things that were valuable to me. In regard todellcacles. you simply used what you were entitled to. I heard nothing of bribes to you until the 13'.u or 20th of January. (J.-Dld you think I did my duty? A. I think, except for your excitable temper, and the fact your zeal overrun your discretion, you were a model steward. I satisfied myself there was no injury to anyone. Q. Did you ever hear or cases where I did treat them kindly? A. Hundreds of cases; some where lives were actually saved. I never saw him under the Influ ence or liquor. 1 think he swears when be don't know it, and 1 have reprimanded him several times. 1 don't believe any man has seen acts of cruelty In this prison. Maharneke Did you tell me your opinion of McPhlllamyr Wright 1 don't remember; but 1 asked yoa to bring the hospital list over when, no doubt, Mc Fhilfamy's name came up many times. At least three times you asked me to hare McPhillamy sent to the block.- The last time was only the Friday or Saturday before the attempted escape. 1 call attention to the fact that no one asks me abont my conversation with ltoblnson. iteed-What is It? Those Contraband Foods. Wright ltoblnson gave me a pointer, and I sent several officers and satisfied myself a good deal of money had been floating around, when, on the SCth of January, 1 heard of the bribery. I did not find out who did and do take contraband letters from the place. I know no more about bribery and corruption than Kelly does; but the battery has been used three times more than 1 knew about. This was entirely at Dr. ltankin's discretion, and 1 was not expected to know Tbe witness was then excused. Deputy Warden McKean was recalled, and re peated his former testimony with very little of In terest produced. Judging from what he had seen in other prisons, this man was more free from pro fanltv than any. Mjharneke I wish Mrs. Mair to go on thestand. (The lady had already been sworn.)--Previous to this Investigation had yoa talked to Miller? Mrs. Mair No, sir. Miharneke Did you carry news or letters out? Wright-That Is Irrelevant. Scott Mrs. Mair, you have a right to answer, if you wish. Mrs. Malr-I wlsn you would allow me to aa- ifTEW ADVERTlKkSlkSTS The PEOPLE'S STORE 531 and 533 Wood Street, Pittsburg.

A WORD OF WARNING. -There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the ' Ivory' ; " they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for " Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it. Convrteht ISSfi. bv P-nrir h Gamble. swer that. Scott Mo need to: you can go where yoa please and do what yoa please. "I have nothing more," said Maharnele, and the defense then rested, and Mcrblllamy was asked if he bad any witnesses In rebuttal. He bad one: but C. tt. Christy, Esq., asked a moment's conversation with him before he called his wit ness. This was granted, and he advised him not to caU witnesses In rebuttal. Mr. Christy 1 have advised the witness to close bis ease at this point and he has agreed. The orosecutor and accused then each declined to make a statement, and the case was given to the board as It stood to And a verdict for or against the defendant. It Cansed Surprise. A lively bnzz then ensned, as every man tnrned to his neighbor and asked wby Christy bad so sud denly and effectually closed the ca6e, when it was expected It might run away Into the morning, and It was then but 10 o'clock. Mr. Christy, however, was extremely non-committal In regard to his un expected advice. "I have a reason hack or an this, and a good reason, too, "said he; "and the reason will be known In good time." McPhillamy. the careless but most certainly clever prosecutor, leaned comfortably back in his chair, and seemed to be the least concerned as to the anticipated result. "On the whole, " said he, "1 am satisfied with the way affairs have been bandied, though I do complain about how I was treated in a fewpolnts." Maharneke was also asked in regard to his opin ion. He felt satisfied, and said he was as Innocent nf the chareea as a babe. He referred in a tender 'way to tho anxiety of his young wife at his trouuies. fie cxpreseeu liie uuuc iu.t uenvum be cleared, and said he could actually dance for Joy ir he knew the decision would be in his favor. Mrs. -Mair was very sorry be had not been al lowed to answer the doctor's question, and say that she had never taken out of the prison any correspondence relating to the case. However, the consistent, sincere lady said she would be satisfied ir the public knew this, and would not trouble her mind as to Maharneke's opinion. One View of It. A conversation was overheard between Messrs. Christy and Wright that was decidedly Interest ing. The warden asked Mr. Christy ir he (the warden) bad acquitted himself well in his last testimony, and Christy replied: "Warden, it was the most foolish thing yoa coafd have done, to put yourself on the stand ami say what you did, without any questions being asked." Mr. Christy refused to explain why it was a mistake, and refused to give an opinion upon tbe whole trial at all, from a legal standpoint. Thus the case was closed: It is in the hands of the Hoard of Inspectors alone, and, attersome delay, tbe public will know the fate of the man who certainly made a most remarkable right for a small salaried position some t-V) a month. Thus Is the matter ended for the present. Ev- THE OLDEST DRUGHOUSE IN THE CTTT ESTABLISHED IN 1S35.
