lEOWE AND WHITE BOB TJP" AGAIN.
BEnmors That They Will bo Here This
Week.
St JOHN ACCEPTS TEEMEB'S TKRHS
Manager Tom Loftus and bis aggregation
(f .League babies arrived in the city last
evening from Indianapolis. -They will,
weather permitting, tackle the home play
ers to-day at Recreation Pirk, and if the
home talent can prevent it, Cleveland -will
receive a very small share of the glory. The
Cleveland team, however, does not come
here entirelv devoid of prestige. Whatever
'"there may be in store for it this season, the-
'players have so far held their own against
the Hoosiers, and expect to do considerably
better before the summer comes to an end.
The Clerelands are in charge of a really ge
nial gentleman Tom Lottos. He alwaTS has
many kind words to say about anybody and
everybody. He enjoys a good talk about base
ball. During a conversation last evening be
said: "We hope to do well in the
League. Of course we do not expect to
carry everything before us this season, but I
feel certain our team will improve. We held
our own at Indianapolis, although we did not
play in onr best form. The Hoosiers are pretty
strong. I think the League prospects are ex
cellent." BOWB AUT WHITE AGAIN'.
The Buffalo correspondent of the Sporting
Life makes the following statement in this
week's issue of that paper: t
"It is now settled that Rowe and "White will
go to Pittsburg in consideration of $1,000. being
part of the purchase money offered by Stearns,
of Detroit. They will leave for Pittsburg the
present week, and will play regularly. Of
course, some one on the Pittsburg pay roll will
have to bo dropped. It is just possible that
Will White will manage the Buffalo team."
President Nimick was shown the above state
ment and after reading it said: "Well, that is
news to me, because I have not heard a word
about it Or course there is no trouble between
the two players and our club. The trouble is
between ex-President Steam and the players.
If he agrees to give them a sufficient share of
their purchase money then they will come here.
The Buffalo correspondent above referred to
seems to know all about it; at least he makes a
very plain and simple statement. If Rowe and
White come here I'm sure I cannot say who
will be sold. Maul is playing magnificently
and Nichols is also doing well. None of us can
cay what players will be sold orreleased,"
A NEW SCHEME PBOPOSED.
Manager Phillips expressed a similar opinion,
and added definitely that no more players will
be released for at least two months. He said:
"Now that Allen and Coleman have been re
leased, we will take all of our players on the
road with us. Were we to leave the extra men
at home they would not be able to get the
requisite kind of practice. I have bit upon a
plan which I think will give the extra men all
the daily practice they need, and at verv little
expense. I think that when we are on our trip
we can drive the extra men to the ground be
fore dinner and let them have all the nractice
they want. To do this will only need the price'
01 tne carnage, xne extra men cannot get
practice in the afternoon because they are on
the gate then."
Regarding ttie Rowe-WTiite matter, Mr.
Phillips stated he knew nothing definite about
it, but he thought the players would be here.
Doubtless, the statement sent out from Buffalo
is more definite than any previous statement
from there regarding the case. It is a fact, as
slated in The Dispatch sometime ago, that
. both Uowe and White have been negotiating
with ex-President Steam on the question. If
the latter decides to give the players what
they want they will be here if the local officials
stick to their promises.

A SLIGHT OBJECTION OVERCOME.
Teemer'a Backers Secure a Little Change In
SU John's Articles.
John Teemer, the sculler, stated yesterday
that his backers desire a slight change in the
articles of agreement for the series of races be
tween him and Gandanr. While Teemer is
fairly well satisfied with them, his backers ob
ject to three races being rowed if one man
wins the first two.
A change is desired so as the articles will
read: "And if a third race is necessary to toss a
coin for choice of course." The chance desired
is not of mnch importance, and it is likely that
Mr. St. John will agree to it If he does,
Teemer will have his $750 in the bands of the
stakeholder this week.
At a late hour the following telegram was re
ceived .from St. Louis:
To the Sporting Editor of The Dispatch:
St. John agrees to two races if one man wins the
two.

MOUNTAIN DWABFS.
The Ancient Cliff Dwellers Still Exist
in Kew Mexico.
AN OLD HUNTER'S STRANGE' STORY,
The Diminutive Family Discovered in a
Mountain Cave.
OTHERS WHO HATE SEEN THE PIGMIES
an Endeavor to lie Hade at Once to Capture allr
Cliff Dweller.
A remarkable story comes from Los An
geles. It is told by an old prospector. He
says he has seen living descendants of the
ancient cliff-dwellers in a mountain cave in
New Mexico. His statement is corroborated
by others who have seen one of these links
between the present and the prehistoric past
A party will shortly start ont for the pur
pose, of further investigating the matter,
and if they capture one of these pygmies it
will afford the chance of a lifetime for
some enterprising musenm manager.
Los Angeles, April 28. James Blair,
an old-time prospector ajid a great hunter,
arrived here to-day from New Mexico, and
told a remarkable account of his adventures
with descendants of the ancient Cliff
Dw ellers, the truthfulness of which he is
willing to swear to. He says:
"During the recent great snow storm,
which Blacc Bangers will remember for
many years to come, I was ont hunting on
the headwaters of the Gila river. The
evening was dark and gloomy, with that
peculiar feeling that prevails when snow is
falling. I had stopped, being uncertain of
my way, near an overhanging cliff which
seemed to be hundreds of feet high, when,
chancing to cast my eyes downward, I was
literally paralyzed by seeing a tiny foot
print in the snow. Knowing there were no
inhabitants within many miles of the
place, I almost doubted the evidence of my
own eyes, and a vague and superstitions,
fear began to creep over me.
"But curiosity got the better of my fears
and I resolved to follow the trail of the un
known being, which led by a circuitous and
toilsome route up the bntting face of the
cliff. It seemed I climbed lor hours, pass
ing over narrow ledges that would have puz
zled an experienced hunter to maintain his
foothold, but in my excitement I scarcely
noticed it. All fear had now left me. and
my desire to see the little being which I had'
been following had completely driven ont
all other thoughts from my mind.
A HTSTEEIOUS MELODY.
"I arrived at last on a broad ledge of rock
completely sheltered from the storm, and as
smooth as if it had been polished. Its en
tire surface was carved with the most beau
tiful hieroglyphics. Pictures and charac
ters of all kinds covered the face of the
cliff,, done in the most artistic manner, but
differing greatly from our style of drawing.
It deemed to be cut in the rock and then
filled in with some brilliant coloring mat
ter. In the cliff, about 12 feet from where
I came on to the ledge, was an almost
round hole about large enough to admit a
water bucket, which from constant use had
been worn perfectly smooth, and in this
hole I had no doubt my mysterious friend
had vanished.
"My interest was so great I had not no
ticed the flight of time, but now with dismay
I found the night closing aronnd me, and a
night on that barren rock without blankets
or fire meant almost certain death. But
there I was, and there I must remain until
the coming day would lend its friendly light
to guide me back to Mother Earth, provided
I had not perished with cold. The snow was
still falling, and.the pine trees far down be
neath me had ceased their sighing and their
boughs were bending under their glistening
coat of mail. A silence as profound as death
wrapped all nature in a close embrace,
when suddenly there broke upon my ear the
sweetest sound that it has ever heard alow,
sweet, plaintive melody such as a loving
mother would sing to soothe a fretting
child.
"The sound came from the opening pre
viously mentioned, and falling on my hands
and knees, I crawled as noiselessly as possi
ble toward the hole. Raising my face I
looked in, and the sight that met my gaze
will be forever stamped on my memory.
The room was hewn from the solid rock,
and there, seated on the rough stone floor,
was a group of 'what I will call Clifftons,
for they were undoubtedly the relics of the
ancient cliff dwellers of which you and I
have seen so much sign.
A DIMINUTIVE FAMILY.
J'ln height I would judge them to be about
2U to 3 feet, dressed warm and snugly in
skins, with the hair inside, fitting skin
tight, so as to give iree use to all the limbs.
I formed the idea that they were father,
mother and daughter. Their color wa a
dark bronze something like our Indians,
but more bright and clean. The smallest
one, which I took to be the daughter, was
leaning affectionately on her mother's
shoulder, and humming a soft, low melody
that filled the little room with mnsic with
out breaking into any definite sound, and it
was undoubtedly she that I had first heard
singing.
"In form and features they were the ex
act counterpart of ourselves, though very
diminutive, and their eyes were clear and
bright without that scared, wild look that
characterizes most wild nations. The cold
had now become extreme, and I was forced
to seek exercise to keep my sluggish blood
from congealing in my veins.so I abandoned
my vigil at the aperture and sought the
other end of the rock, where, pacing up and
down, I spent that long, dreadful night,
with no sound to relieve the terror of the
night,, except the occasional scream of a
wild cat, as he prowled his way through
the drifting snow. At the first streak of
dawnl hastened to leave my unwelcome
perch, and after a long and perilions jour
ney I reached the place where I had first
seen the footprints. After carefully mark
ing the place, I set out to try and find camp,
and alter traveling all day, stumbling
through snowdrifts and falling over hidden
logs, I staggered into Cartwright's ranch,
where I told my story.
"They looked at each other and said,
'That's all right, of course you saw them.
You have been lost in the snow; you are
sick. Go to bed, old fellow, and you will
feel better in the morning.'
"Bnt it was no delusion. I know what I
saw, and I want you to come up and go
with me to find these strange people. I
give you my word of honor it is no myth."
COKEOBOKATIVE TESTIMONY.
A letter has been received from Don Ar
mado, of San Mateo, N. M., a Mexican
gentleman oi irreproachable integrity, in
which he says: "Por a number ot years
past I have been told by very old residents
of this neighborhood, especially by Don
Bafael Baca, now deceased, who died at the
age of 101 years, a man of intelligence and
integrity, that there were a few cliff dwell
ers still living in the caves in the San
Mateo Mountains and mesas, and that ha
himself and others, while in pursuit of In
dians, had seen some of them in the mesas,
near the pla"ce where the town of San Mateo
now is.
"He said the children or dwarfs he saw
were about three feet in height, and were
vetV fleet, as they could run with the deer
up he sides of the mesas and into the caves,
wneXe there were houses which at one time
mnstyhave been occupied by the cliff
dwell ws."
Thefplace spoKen of by Don Bafael 'Baca
was visited and the houses were found just
as hq described them little houses with
small doors, not more than fifteen .inches
'widfeT aadi two feet high. There were also
foutodmany beautiful small-but eesaplete
i hwpw oi pnmj, neae hxh aaa mbt anew-
heads. They must have been used by a
diminutive race. The houses had apparent
ly been untenanted for a thousand years at
least.
Don Leonor, a bright and intelligent
young man, while acting as major domo for
the flocks of Don Roman, saw a dwarf
under the following circumstances: One
evening, just about sunset, he made camp
at the foot hills, -about five miles
from San Mateo. "While he was
gathering wood to build a fire where
he expected to pass the night, he noticed
the sheep got frightened at one end of the
flock and ran with a rush toward him.
Thinking it might be a coyote, he grabbed
his rifle and went to see if he could shoot
him, well knowing that if it was a coyote
he would have but little sleep that night.
To his astonishment, instead of the prowing
wolf, he saw a naked boy about vthree feet
tall. He went toward him, up to Within a
few yards, when with a "yip" the youngster
started for the woods and was lost in a mo
ment The arrow heads of which DonAmado
writes are beautiful specimens of a trans
lucent stone, exceedingly hard and capable
of taking a high polish. As soon as pos
sible search will be begun, both in the Black
Range and the San Mateo -Mountains, for
these eldritch fairies who every generation
or so appear to wandering shepherds and
hunters.
AS HE CREMATED?
A aiyatery nt Braddock A Lad Who Had to
Walk Over a Gas Farnneo Disap
pears An Awful Death
Hinted at.
ISr-ECIAI. TELIOEAK TO Till DISPATCB.1
Beaddock, April 28. The mysterious
disappearance of 18-year-old Johu Turney
at the Carnegie blast furnaces last "Wednes
day night is a matter that furnishes consid
able gossip among the workmen there. At
nearly midnight he was at his post of duty
wheeling brick froma cat to some bricklay
ers who were repairing a break in a smoke
flue near the stack of furnace A. Bis route
was over the top of one of these flues, and at
the hour stated it caved in and young
Turney has never been heard of since.
There are many conjectures offered as to
what became of him. Some think he left
his work and ran awav, while others say be
was swallowed up in the flue and cremated.
The latter appears to be most probable, -as
the circumstances surrounding the case in
dicate. Your correspondent visited the
father of the missing lad at Port Perry to
day. In speaking ot the sad mystery, that
gentleman said:
lam satisfied that my boy was burned to
death in that flue. It is a terrible thing for me
to think that such was the case, but 1 am more
fully convinced now than ever, since strips of
his clothing that were picked up abont the fur
nace have been brought borne and shown to
me. They blew ont of the top of the stack. It
was pay day and my bov brought home his
wages in the evening. This satisfies me that
he did not go away. He was wheeling
brick across a smoke-flne, which, in my
opinion was not safe for anybody to tread upon.
Underneath them is a roaring flame of gas con
tinuously, which leaps out from the top of the
stack with a pressure that is amazing. When
the explosion occurred the men workinir near
it ran away. When they returned there was a
twheplharrow standing nn nnn eirln nf a hnln
'where the cave-in had occurred. The handles
of the wheelbarrow were partially burned,
and my son has never been seen since that hour.
When he did not return home In the
morning I went over to the works and discov
ered that tho blast was still in the flue, and no
attempt had been made to find ont whether he
had fell in or not. When I complained of this
I was told that It would not save his life any
how. I replied that his bones could be. They
finally concluded to investigate, but it was too
late. Hemnsthave had an awful death, and
when I think of it it almost staggers me. Bnt
had I only gotten a portion of the poor boy's
remains I would not feel so badly as I now do.

DECOEATED IN SPOTS.
The Rain Retards the Work One Grand
Arch Completed A Glance nt the
Principal Places Whcro
Banting Is Profnse.
ISFXCLUj TELEOKAM TO THE DISPATCn.l
New Yoek, April 28. There are decora
tions all over town, but it can't be said yet
that the town is all handsomely and elabor
ately dressed in honor of the great Centen
nial show. In spots here and there some
thing may be seen which is worth looking
at, and undoubtedly to-morrow there will
be lots more bunting put up and m6re flags
floated. But up to date there are almost as
many signs on Fifth avenue on the line of
parade, reading "Seats Here for the Parade,"
as there are flags.
That the decorators are not yet through
with their work was plainly seen to-day.
There was the sound of hammers all along
the line of the march of thegreat Centennial
parades, for the heavy rain of the past two
days had put a stop to all work of prepara
tion and decoration, and when the clouds
began to break away to-day, the work was
resumed without a moment's loss of time.
The chief interest seemed to center at the
"Washington square and at Fifth avenue,
where
THE FIBST GEEAT ABCH
stretches from curb to curb between the
Bhinelander residence and that of ex-Mayor
Cooper. The arch is built entirely of wood,
and is ornamented with a'frieze ot garlands
and laurel wreaths in papier mache. It is
painted ivory white, and is surmounted by
a carved wood statue of "Washington, ten
feet high. This is the statue that is said to
have been first erected on the Battery in
1792. At the foot of the statue is a large
trophy of national flags, and from the four
corners of the arch streamers an extended
to the cornices of the neighboring resi
dences. Four large -trophies of fiag3
are on each side, and upon either keystone
is perched a'fine specimen of the American
eagle. The arch has also been fitted with
colored electric lights, and at night will
present a most beautiful appearance. This
arch has been erected by the private enter
prise of the residents in the immediate
neighborhood, and that, in a measure, may
acconnt for the fact that there are very few
decorations noticeable on the buildings
within a few blocks of the arcb. There are
stands in front of almost every house, how
ever, as far up as Clinton Place.
CHTJBCHES AND CLUBS.
The First Presbyterian Church yard, be
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets, has
been utilized tor one immense stand. The
Presbyterian building, on the other side of
the way, presents a very brilliant front.
Shields and trophies are made use of to
catch up streamers of red, white and blue
bunting, and flags are placed in divers shapes
in the windows. At the corner of Twenty
first street the South Beformed Church yard
is filled' with stands. The Union Club is
beautifully decorated. The window ledges
are covered with hanging flags, the cornices
are bright with bunting and long streamers
extend from the top of the building down to
the balcony where the stands are. The Lo
tus Club, over the way, had not yet deco
rated, nor had the Fifth Avenue Hotel at 3
P.M.
Nothing was done to-day toward the com-
?letion of the decoration of the arch at
wenty-third street, but it is said that four
hours will suffice to transform it from its
present heavy rain-soaked appearance into
a veritable picture of lightness and lite.
Looking through the arch, one first sees the
four golden eagles in the midst of trophies
of flags that surmount each window on the
corner of the Albemarle Hotel. The same
idea has been carried out in the ornamenta
tion of the Broadway and Twenty-fourth
street sides of the hotel, and the effect is
very pretty.
HED SIOEE3 NOT BEHIND.
The Hoffman House people have been
lavish in the expenditure of money and tal
ent. The entire front of the house is cov
ered. A portrait of "Washington and one of
Harrison occupy prominent positions in the
display, and there are shields nnd banners
all over the house.
Crossing between the two grand stands
on the west side of Madison Square one has
a clear field up Fifth avenue again. At 2:10
Bedfern has set a picturesque example that
has not been followed by Delmomco next
door, though perhaps the distinguished
caterer fears to detract from the beauty of
the arch that spans the avenue at the corner
of Twenty-sixth street. Yesterday this
structure stood sad and gloomy, bereft of
the decorations that had been partially
fixed before the rain began, but retaining
still the necessary proportions for its trans
formation to-morrow into a thing of beauty.
The Union League had not yet hung out
their banners, but the Bepublican Club,
No. 450, .was resplendent with bunting.
THE PIER IS BEADY.

New York, April 28. To-night the fin
ishing touches are being put on the pier at
the foot of "Wall street, where the President
will land to-morrow. It is pier No. 16, East
river. It is said that $12,000 is being spent
in this work. The pier is 450 feet long, and
is divided into two apartments by means of
two large curtains suspended from the
beams. The part facing the river
will be decorated only with a
large American flag on the roof. The, part
of the pier facing South street is covered
with decorations. Over 100 large Ameri
can flags are draped over it, supported by
the coats of arms of the various States, and
numberless streamers hang from every
point. A float is arranged for the Presi
dental party to land. It is covered with
carpet and concealed at the side with bunt
inff. Extending from Piers 16 to 17 are
strung two lines of streamers. Sixty flags
and many streamers decorate the root ot the
pier.
The sub-Treasury building and the Custom
House are covered with thousands of dol
lars' worth of decorations. The tardv
decorations of the City Sail have, also been
finished to-night. Flags in the form of halt
rosettes, suspended by the coats of arms of
the State, decorate the sides, while on the
roof are the Stars and Stripes and the col
ored flags.

CAUGHT THE CENTENNIAL PETER.
The City of Elizabeth Seized With an Attack
of the Prevalent Complaint.
Elizabeth, N. J., April 28. Elizabeth
has had the Centennial fever to-day, and
never in the history ot the city was there
witnessed a Sunday like it. The decora
tions had scarcely been begun when Fri
day's rainstorm came, and to-day the work
was again taken up. The streets have been
thronged with people watching what was
being done, and this evening the city is
brilliant with color. All the public build
ings and Governor Green's residence are
elaborately decorated. In the churches his
toric sermons were preaohed.
Vice President Morton and Mrs. Morton
arrived here from New York at 520 o'clock
this afternoon. Several thousand people
had gathered at the station, and the police
had to force a passage way to the carriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Morton were driven to the
home of Congressman Kean, whose guests
they will be until they join the Presidental
party at Governor Green's to-morrow morn
ing. The city is filling up with people from
the country all around. Department Com
mander Miller telegraphed late last night
that there would be 5,000 Grand Army men
in the procession whicn escorts President
Harrison to the place of embarkation. Mili
tary and civic societies will also parade.

LACK OF LIFE. '
"When the pulse beats feebly: when the ener.
gy is gone; when the appetite Is weak and
sleep uncertain, then the body is in a condition
of actual "low life." No matter what the causes
may have been Nature has given way. and un
less her strength is restored, disease is certain
to take possession ot the body, lhe first thing
any doctor does in such a case is to assist Na
ture. Here are some instances:
Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevne (New York)
College, savs: "The judicious use of alcoholic
stimulants is one 01 the striking character
istics of progress in the practice of medicine
during the last half century."
The celebrated Dr. J. M. Carnwall says: "I
am most happy to say, after a very thorough
test, that for persons suffering with nervous
and general debility or any wasting disease, or
tor delicate persons or Invalids, Duffy's Pure
malt Whiskey is the best tonic and purest stim
ulant with which I am acquainted."
There are no higher scientific authorities
than these, and tbey speak volumes. Beware
of all bottled whiskies which, may be offered
yon. except Duffy's. It bas stood the test of.
time and is absolutely pure.
