Copyright John Ward left London at 9 o'clock this morn ing, and by this evening is on the high seas on board the 2forth German Lloyd steamer Saale. He leaves the All-America team somewhat crippled, and it is neces sary to bring Fogarty in from the outfield to play short and to play Healy or Crane in Fogarty's place. In spite of these dis advantages, however, the All-America added another victory to its list to-day. The game was played on the beautiful grounds of the Crystal Palace cricket club, be fore an audience which numbered not less than 6,000, and which, to all appearances at least, was composed of the very best sort of people, though there were no titled or other celebrities present. CBAXE VTAS LETT. Crane, through an unfortunate misunder standing, missed the train by which the others went out to the ground, and was unable to ar rive until the third inning, up to which time Pettit and Tener alternately played in the field for their opponents. Once the teams were completed the game went forward to the satis faction of everybody. The hitting was not very free, as Healyand Baldwin both had their pitching clothes on and were able to fool their opponents without much trouble. All America led off with a run in the first and another in the second innings, but the Chi capos scored two runs in the third inning, tying the-game. In the seventh inning Chicago led by one run. The game was decided in the eighth and ninth innings, when the AH Ameri cas, by a happy succession of kits, knocked out two and one runs respectively. The char acter of the game may be judged from the fact that the All Americas had but one error and the Chicagos but tnro. A DIKSTEB AT BRISTOL.

All the pedestrians named are training daily for the event. Day has requested George Smith, the local sprinter, to be his attendant during the race, and as they are old friends it is likely that Smith will oblige Sammy. Manager Davis left the city for Philadelphia last evening on business in connection with the proposed race. He is anxious that all who have forwarded their entries start in the race, lie does not want to advertise the names of per sons who will not start. SULLIVAN WON.

The amateur ball players, that is, the repre sentatives of the Allegheny County Baseball League, had quite a lively time of it last even ing trying to arrange a schedule of games for the season. They didn't get one finished, but that wasn't for lack of energy. It was rather because each of the ten representatives wanted his own way. Some even threatened to leave the meeting if their notions of schedule mak ing were not adopted. The meeting was held at the store of AL Pratt and everv club in the league was repre sented. The Etna Stars did not want the sea son to be opened until May and this caused considerable delay. The Duquesnes also wanted something they couldn't get, and so did many others. This kept business so far back that tho representatives adiourned to meet on Monday evenine next when they expect to com plete the schedule. It may, however, not be out of place to re mark that It might have been better for every body bad a committee of three been appointed to formulate a schedule of games. The representatives stated that their respect ive clubs are all in good shape. SALES OF TROTTERS. Good Ones Sold nt Lexlnston Liberty Polls Up Lame. If PICIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!

A well-known local sporting man stated last night that be is prepared to match Ed. Guck ert, of Allegheny, to play any man a match on the guitar for $500 or $1,000 a side. Guckcrt can also be matched to play Charley Stinson on the same instrument for the same stake. The backer of Guckert also stated that his man will play Stinson the best of three selections, as fol lows: One on the guitar, one on the banjo and one on the mandolin. The Guckert party will meet Stinson. or anybody else, at any time, at Kleber's music store. Wood street. It is likely that a contest will be arranged be tween Guckert and Stinson, as the latter is a first-class artist on any of the instruments named. A contest between the two would, un doubtedly, be novel here, but it would certainly be attractive. If they are matched it is likely that three qualified musicians will be selected as judges.

THE WISDOW GLASS TEADE.x It Is Not as Dnll as Was at First Re ported. The report from Findlay, O., published yesterday, to the effect that there is a stag nation in the window glass trade is not credited here Ex-President Isaac Cline, of the Window Glass Workers Association, in his official report for 'the Budget this week says there are 491 pots in the Western district, and of this number 399 are in operation. In the Pittsburg district there are 391 pots and only 30 are idle. The report yesterday stated that there' are 1,200 pots in the Western district and 250 are idle. Mr. Cline says there are 1,107 pots operating in the country and 202 are idle, showing a decrease of 22, compared with last week's report. It is-stated that the stock of window glass is smaller now than a year ago, and although prices are not what is desired it is the manu facturers' fault, as they are cutting rates and selling at almost any price. TALK OP SHUTTING' DOWN. Free Gas Men TJnablo to Knock Out Pitts burg Glass. William Loefner, Secretary of the Win dow Glass Manufacturers' Association, went to Chicago last night on business connected with the organization. Mr. Locffler said lie did not think that the glass men in Ohio and Indiana, who get gas for nothing, have any advantages over Pittsburg, and they have not injured the business. The majority of them have poor facilities, are in out-of-the-way places, and employ green hands. The experienced men prefer to stay with the old makers. A Defeat for the Amalgamated. Wheeling, W. Va., March 14. The strike at the Wheeling steel plant, which has been in progress since January 1, was settled yesterday, the employes signing the agreement as individuals. This is a defeat for the Amalgamated Association. Labor Notes. Adam Tbatjtmah is now the manager at the Windsor Glass Works at Homestead. He took the place of Emanuel Bird, who died recently.

It is stated that the new steel rail mill at Duquesne will beat the record' in the matterof turning out rails. At the Edgar Thomson works they make a rail a minute, but Jt is claimed the Duquesne can make one every 40 seconds. THEI WERE ACQUITTED. Allegheny's Crack Ball Plnyers Found Inno cent of Violation the Law. Ed. Morris, the celebrated pitcher, and William Kuehne, the third baseman of the Allegheny club, who are the proprietors of a billiard room on Federal street, Alle gheny, were before Mayor Pearson last evening. They were charged, as has been stated, with operating a poker room in the rear of the billiard parlor. Last week when Chief of Police Kirsch ler and several officers entered the room they found several men playing cards. All were arrested and Messrs. Morris and Kuehne put under hail for a hearing. A number of witnesses were examined, but it could not be proven that any gam bling had been done and the defendants were discharged. The Mayor stated that he had ordered the raid becausa, he had re ceived an anonymous communication which informed him that a poker game was in operation every night at that place. Mr. Kuehne made a statement under oath that he never played poker, did not under stand the game and derived no benefit from the room occupied by some of his friends for card playing. It was brought out that some professional gamblers who had been refused the privilege of plaving with the private party had caused the anonymous letter to be written. A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. A Precocious Allegheny Youth Wants to Sue a Driver for Damages. Audley De Costo Holman, a bright 5-year-old son of Dr. James A. Holman, of Allegheny, had a miraculous escape from a horrible death about 6 o'clock last even ing. He was crossing Samson street when one of Heinz's heavy wagons rolled around the corner, and the little fellow was knocked down and run over. The wheels of the wagon, which weighs 4.000 pounds, passed over his legs above the knees, but the bones were not broken. He was also injured in ternally, and, when picked up and carried into his father's office, was unconscious. He revived soon after and began to shriek with pain, but was placed under the influ ence of morphine and his injuries were at tended to. When he recovered' from the effect of the drug he was very cheerful and said: "Say, don't yon think I can sue that driver for damages?" The boy, although only 6 years of age, evidently has an eye to business. The driver stopped his wagon at once and remained in the doctor's office until told by the father of the boy that he could retire, as he was not altogether at fault. AFTER OPIUM SMUGGLERS. The Action of the United States Conrt In Dakota Territory. BlSMABCK, DAK.',March 14. The opium smuggling case was continued in the United States Court here last evening. In the case of Curran, the old man arrested for. trans porting the opium from Canada to Dakota, the jury disagreed,standing eight for acquit tal and four for conviction. Curran then changed his pleading of not gnilty and pleaded gnilty to the charge of facilitating in the transportation of the opiuni but not to intentional wrongdoing. After a conference with the attorneys- the case against Curran was dismissed and sen tence on the charge to which he pleaded guilty was suspended. Leonard, the Den ver man, to whom the opium was consigned, was sentenced to seven months in the peni tentiary. It is believed that the action in the case of Curran means that he will fur nish evidence which will lead to the arrest of the entire gang, which has been engaged in smuggling opium for years. A GLASSHOUSE BURNED. Tho Plant of Stewart, Estep & Co., In Marlon, Destroyed by Fire. Telegrams from Marion, Ind., and In dianapolis, received at The Dispatch office last night, brought the information that the glasshouse ot Stewart, Estep & Co. burned down yesterday, and all the em ployes are of course thrown out of work. The firm was formerly located on tho Southside. Abont a year ago they removed to Marion, Ind., where they erected a plant worth $50,000. ,Most of the employes who were occupied at the place on the South side went with their employeis to Marion. The plant is completely destroyed and the loss is partially covered by-insurance. Captured tho Man. At an early hour this morning Officer Meyers arrested John Lewis for attempting to rob a drunken man at the corner of Sixth and Liberty streets. Lewis is supposed to be the man who robbed two men in Boley's hotel, in the Diamond, on last Wednesday evening. Both Lee Broken. J. B. Keedy, a Gastonyille miner, had both legs broken yesterday by a fall of coal. The unfortunate man was brought into the "West'Penn Hospital.- ' ONE FIGHT IS SIGHT. The Inter-State Agreement Between the Miners and Operators. NOW NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE. Eyery Effort to Effect a Compromise Meets With Failure. OPERATORS DECLINE TO ARBITRATE. The Situation as Viewed by the Delegation From Fennsylranla. The inter-State agreement of the miners and operators is one of the things that were, but are no more. The joint convention at Columbus utterly failed to reach an agree ment and adjourned after protracted wrang ling. The difference on the scale could not be harmonized, and the operators refused to arbitrate. Much of the blame rests ou the Indiana contingent. Pittsburg's delegates hope to avoid trouble. lariCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE EISFATCrt.l Coltjmbus, March 14. The inter-State agreement which has existed between the coal operators and miners for the past three years was dissolved to-day by the joint con vention, which, after failing to fix the price of mining for the ensuing year, adjourned sine die. The convention did not act hast ily, but made repeated efforts through com mittees to adjust the differences between the miners and operators, and it was with re luctance on the part of both that the agree ment was broken. After making concessions beyond the in structions of their constituents, the dele gate miners offered to submit the difference " between the propositions of the miners and operators, which was a matter of 5 cents, to arbitration. This the operators refused to do, claiming that they could not get a fair decision. It was-in view of this fact that the final action of the miners was taken. What the result will be is only a matter of conjecture. Both operators and miners regret that the inter-State agreement has been dissolved. It has been from its inception a measure of peace, and has given to the miners satisfac tion and contentment It originated a lit tle more than three years ago, and was first' proposed by the miners. INDIANA TO BLAME. At the meeting of the convention in In dianapolis a month ago, the Indiana opera tors, by representing that there were certain vicious measures pending before the Legis lature which they wished to defeat before fixing the scale fbr the year, secured an ad journment for 30 days. In the meantime, however, the President of one of the Indiana coal roads agreed that if the miners would re duce the rate of mining 20 cents per ton, the railroad company would reduce freight rates 25 cents, and they would go into the market and secure the trade of the Ohio and Penn sylvania operators. This was their position when they withdrew from the convention here. There is every probability, according to the statements of Mr. Penna, President of the Indiana district of the Miners' Union, of a strike in that State, though he does not expect the miners to win. He is confident that notices of reductions have already been posted in some of the districts of the State, and that he regards the same as a strike. Mr. Dempster, of the Pittsburg district, said he did not anticipate any trouble there over the failure to agree upon prices for mining. The rate for the spring and sum mer fixed by last year's scale was 74 cents per ton, and this would probably be paid by operators the year round. THE EFFECT HERE. Their principle trade is the lake trade, which is supplied in the summer, and a strike in the winter would not affect them. If they conld not hold their trade, they would let their mines stand idle. If the re duction proposed in Indiana was made, it would greatly interfere with the Pittsburg operators. Mr. Bend regrets the dissolution of the agreement more than any other oper ator. He is for peace fcr all time and has no desire to return to the old condition of strikes, disagreements, discontent and hos tility. He fears that if the miners strike it will be general, affecting not only Indiana, but Ohio and Pennsylvania. Mr. Schlenderberg, one of the Pittsburg coal operators, was in favor of conceding the demands of the miners to maintain peace. He attributed the dissolution of the agreement to the actions of the Ohio oper ators, wno reiuseu iu cuueeue auyimng. The miners will have a conference for mutual understanding to-morrow morning, before they return to their Homes. They do not anticipate a strike in either Ohio or Pennsylvania until after May 1, when their contract with the operators expires, unless an attempt to make a reduction comes sooner. They still desire to avoid trouble, and it is probable that within the next two weeks they will concede one-halt the difference between their propositions and those of the operators, and ask the operators to do the same. A LAST EFFOET. At the afternoon session of the conven tion the miners made another effort to force the differences to arbitration, and insisted that the operators had failed to show good reason why for asking a rednction. Mr. Patterson, a Pennsylvania operator, said he was in favor of continuing the inter- State agreement, but if the miners were to demand an advance at each meeting, he did not want to remain in it. He charged the miners with failing to live up to the agree ment, and asserted thata the operators had kept it to the letter. Mr. McBride asked Mr. Patterson if he did not know that there were operators iril the Pittsburg district wno signed the scale last year who compelled the miners to accept prices below the scale rate. Mr. Patterson could not answer the question, and Mr. Mc Bride said he knew it was a fact Repre sentative Hysell, of Ohio, thought the con vention was too intelligent a body to ad journ without coming to some definite con clusion. He thought the convention should submit to arbitration rather than break up the agreement. It was getting late, however, and a great deal of ill-feeling was rampant, and the convention adjourned sine die. A STRIKE AT SALINEYILLE. The New Progressive Union Will Commence ' Operations at Once. Columbus, March ,14. The Executive Committee of the Ohio District of the Pro gressive Union of Miners held a meeting to-night to consider the question of screens at Salineville, in the Hocking "Valley dis trict, where they are not regular .in size. The operators at that place appeared before the committee and stated they would not re move the screens, as requested and in accor dance with instrnctions given by the dis trict meeting, the executive committee will, it is stated, declare a strike there at once. There are about 400 miners employed at Salineville. The impression is that this will be the beginning of a series of strikes in the Vallev. Deserted by Its Mother.

AHesbeny Councils Wind Up Affairs of the Year The Appropriation Ordinance Passed Slay Not Use Coal. The last regular meeting of Allegheny Councils for this year was held last evening, nnd -an unusual amount of routine business was transacted. A fight was expected in the Select branch over the report of the Water Committee awarding the contract for fuel to Charles Jutfe & Sons, the coal oper ators, instead of the Allegheny Heating Company, a natural gas concern, but it did not occur. The contract, however, was not awarded to the coa! company. Mr. Cochran, when he presented the re port, stated that he had a communication from Mrl Jn,tte, in which he said he would furnish all the coal needed at $20,000 per year, instead of $3 49 per ton. according to his previous bid. The Allegheny Heating Company's bid was $22,000. A motion was made and carried to refer the matter back to the Water Committee, with instructions to readvertise for bids. The resolutions awarding all other con tracts recommended by the different com mittees were approved. The appropriation ordinance, which was published recently, was presented by Chair man Watson, of the Finance Committee, and caused a lively discussion. Mr. Henricks moved to refer the ordi nance back to the Finance Committee to give the standing committees a chance to be heard. Mr. Henricks said that some of the committees had not been given enough ' money. One committee had been allowed $13,000: it now had a debt of $2,000, and wouldn't have enough money. Mr. Cochrane opposed sending it back; to add to the appropriations meant, to increase the millage; let the committee economize. Mr. Henricks claimed that there had not been a proper adjustment. The Boads Com mittee had been cut and Parks hadn't His motion to send back was defeated and the ordinance was passed by a vote of 15 ayes to 2 noes. Mr. Henricks presented a resolution ask ing the Allegheny members of the Legisla ture to oppose any grade crossing bill for railroads that will curtail the city's powers, impose any costs on the city for changing existing grades or that will give any jail road power to determine when a crossing shall be changed. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Watson presented a resolution in structing the superintendent of the water works to discontinue furnishing water to persons outside of the city on the east side of East street. The resolution was referred to the Water Committee. Very little outside of business of minor importance was dono in the Common branch. The ordinance fixing a license on all peddlers and hucksters, except cripples and soldiers, was passed. The ordinance changing the hours for opening and closing the market house was voted down.

There is a great amount of grumbling going on amongthe employes of the Citizens' traction road over the new rules which go into effect to-day. A number of gripmen threatened to quit last night, as they claimed the new hours of duty'are worse than they were before. Beginning to-day there will be but seven "swing" runs. The first car out will leave at 5 o'clock, and each one will make five trips. The regular men will then take pos session ot the seven cars and the crews of the latter will be laid off until 5:30 or 6 P. M. They will then go on and work until mid night when they will finish their day's work. Thirteen "swing" crews were taken off and added to the list of 10 extra conductors and 8 gripmen, making 23 extra conductors for 20 cars. The non-unionists claim that when they follow a union crew the latter drop behind on their time and pick up their passengers. By doing this the non-union conductors' receipts are not as large as those of the others and the impression is given out that he is dishonest. NEW THINGS , On Wood Street.

Tho House Committee Rcfases to .Repeal tho Grease Butter Law. FllOM X STAFF COERESrONDENT.l Habrisbubg, March 14. The Commit tee on Health and Sanitation this evening negatived Bepresentative Marland's bill for the repeal of the oleomargarine law, and also his bill to create the office of Dairy Commissioner, with a necessary staff, to go on salaries and power to regulate the dairy and oleomargarine business of the State in the interest of purity and public health. Prof. Hugo Blanc, of Pittsburg; Prof. Williams, of the Natrona Salt Works, and Dr. Mott, of New York, appeared before the committee and gave it some very inter esting facts about the purity of oleomar garine. The. committee's vote on the question is reported to have been very close, and one member raid that if the question had been on the enacting of a law for the prohibition of the sale of oleomargarine it would have been negatived, but as it was for the repeal of a law which had only been in active operation since the decision of the Supreme Conrt on the 'subject six months ago, the committee did not feel justified in acting: as it would have liked to. In fact, the question was considered by the committee as mnch from a political as from a chemical or busi ness standpoint. HUSTLING IN A HURRY. The Judicial General Committee Acts on Quite a Lot of Bills. I FROM A STAFF COBHESPONOENT. 1 Habrisbubg, March 14.

Now that all the liquor bills are out of the Ways and Means Committee, their especial champions feel much easier, in spite of the fact that all the bills but one were negatived. It was the uncertainty that worried them. The one bill reported favorably is that of Rep resentative McDonald, of Lackawanna. The intent ot it is to make the license fees in cities which thought they were in the fourth class and below, just what they would have been had not the Supreme Court declared that classification unconstitutional. Mr. Graham,-the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, docs not think the bill likely to be reached in time for passage. Consequently, the liquor dealers in the cities mentioned may prepare themselves to pay a $500 fee until the next session of the .Legislature, provided the adoption of pro hibition in June docs not bring liquor li censes to a full stop anyhow.

The committee will make a favorable re port on the bill to extend the charter of State banks. County Seat Removnls. 'FROM A STAFF COBBESPOXDEJTT. Habbisbubg, March 14.

ISPZCIAI. TELIORAJt TO THE DISrATCH.t Helena, March 14. The most disastrou s fire in the history of the Territory occurred at 6 o'clock this morning at Anaconda. The lower works of the Anaconda Smelting Company were entirely destroyed. The concentrator and stamp mill alone were saved. The works were nearing comple tion, and were filled with costly machinery, thought to be the most expensive iu the world. The loss will reach 51,000,000. The fire is thought to be a well-laid plot, as an excellent fire patrol is constantly on duty, but when the fire was discovered it had such a start that nothingcould be done. The Anaconda Company is a member of the copper syndicate, and its output is over 8,000,000 pounds of copper a month. The fire will reduce the output one-third. What is known as the upper works are running full force, and, upon the completion of the plant destroyed to-day. the company estimated it would be able to turn out about 17,000,000 pounds of copper each month. THE ATTICA SLEEPER. Her Remarknblo Case Puzzling Her Physi cians nnd Friends. rSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Attica, March 14. The case of Mrs. Emma Althouse, the sleeping wonder, be comes more puzzling as time passes, for she is still alive and hardly a3 feeble as she was two weeks ago. Then she was given up as dead, to all intents and purposes, and a re port was circulated that she was dead. Last evening wh en the correspondent of The Dis patch called at the little two-and-a-half-story cottage at the top of the Bennington Hill, a few rods from the postoffice, he was met by the sleeper's sister, Miss Katie Toms, who was rather reluctant to talk about her sister. "Emma is very feeble," she said, "but is able to whisper to her attendants, and the rigor has relapsed so that she can move her head and hands, although it is not possible for her to sit up yet Indeed, she has not risen from a reenmbent posture in over a year." Her present condition is almost that of in animate life. NOT TO BE BEATEN THAT WAY. A Forcer and Real , Estate Speculator Easily Elades Justice. CHiCAGO.March 14. William H. Davis, a well-known builder and real estate dealer, was arrested to-day at the door of the Chi cago Trust and Savings Bank, charged with victimizing the President of the institution, D. H. Tolman. Forgery was the specifica tion, but the purpose was to hold Davis for an extensive series of offenses, such as sell ing to each of a number of people the same piece of property. The prisoner quickly gave hail for tHe forgery and disappeared. The arrest was weil planned. Davis had an appointment with Mr. Tolman at the bank, and before the hourarrived'the Presi dent had sworn out a warrant and given the document to an officer, who was stationed in the bank entrance to await the real estate man. Davis' arrival was prompt; his arrest was equally so. Both events were surpassed in celerity, h6wever, by his" rplease, he scheduling the required s'eenrity of 51,000, and walking out before it was realized that additional warrants were necessary. M'DOW IS FOUND GUILTY By the Coroner's Jury Which Investigated the Murder of Dawson. Chablestoit, S. C., March 14. The inquest in Captain Dawson's case was con cluded to-day. The proceedings, notwith standing a drenching rain, attracted a great crowd of spectators. Four witnesses were examined. Policeman Gordon, to whom Dr.'McDow, the prisoner, surrenderedtes tified to that fact and related a conversation with the prisoner en route to the station house. The only material statement is that the prisoner admitted killing Dawson. The testimony practically developed nothing new. Dr. McDow having declined to make a statement before the jury. The verdict was as follows: "That the deceased, Captain F. W. Dawson, came to his death from a gunshot wound inflicted by a gnn in the hands of Dr. T. B. McDow, and that Moses Johnson (colored) was an accessory before the fact." GLAD HE DID NOT GET IT. Thurston Thinks a Cabinet Portfolio Is Sour Grapes, Anyhow. Chicago, March 14. Judge John M. Thurston, of Omaha, who was temporary Chairman of the National Convention which nominated General Harrison, said to-night: "I am not disappointed in not being made a member of the Cabinet For a while I was inclined to think that I could be of service to the Northwest as Secretary of ihe Inte rior, and if I had been made anything that is what I would have liked, hut I suppose, if for no other reason, my connection with railway interests was sufficient to prevent my selection." Judge Thurston added that there is no office which General Harrison can now offer him that would be any intiucementor him to leave his present business, and that, after all, he is rather glad he was not made a member of the Cabinet. The Judge is re turning from Washington. He leaves here to-morrow for his home in Nebraska. YOUNG SIGEL PLEADS GUILTY. He Is Remanded for Sentence, Which Slay be 20 Tears. UewXobk, March 14.
