THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1889. sad mm. Religious Meetings in the Open Air, and Sermons That TOUCH EVERY HEART. Few Faithful Christians Gather to Praise and Pray, STILL TRUSTING IN GOD. rrBOM ocn STArr cobhesposbextb. Johxstowx, June 9. ''The groves were God's first temples," and never under snch sad circumstances were religious services held in open air than the numerous outdoor gatherings of to-day. Realizing the awful calamity which has befallen this community, every degree of society communed together to-day regardless of sect or person. Theservices were attended by many people whose ears had never listened to the teach ings of God; whose hearts had neverevolved a secret prayer, or whose thoughts had never drifted to things divine; they were there, and realizing the vast destruction of precious lives and properly, as expatiated upon by the preacher, with the connecting sad cir cumstances, hearts of adamant were softened and tears flowed from the stricken sufferers at the thought of their lost ones who had been chosen by the relentless hand of fate. It Was u Tonchlnc Slsbt to study tbe faces of the hearers, some of whom probably had attended the religious services in the hope of receiving a word of succor and an assurance of safety of loved ones on another shore. Upon a rude store box in front of the temporary postoffice, Be v. D. J. Beal, of the Presbyterian Church, addressed the remaining members of his congregation in a most affectionate manner. He said in substance: Jly Dear Friends and Follower!: I find that words are inadequate to express my sorrow resultinc from the awful visitation of God's Almighty band in our midst, but we are only admonished to prepare for tne Maker's call. He has seen fit to take away thousands of our people, and the calamity has shocked the whole civilized world. To extend my sym pathy would avail nothing, but we can live In the assurance that our loving Iriends who were carried away are safe upon another shore where floods cannot penetrate. Oh, this is the happy ultimatum of the sad story. I received a cablegram from a gentleman in Scotland inquiries for the safety of Mr. and Mrs. Cbilds. I looked upon tbe list of the ilead and found that they were among tbe missi ng. I immediately answered their foreign friends, "They are lost, but both gone to heaven." I knew of a Christian man who, when the flood was creeping down on him and his family, grasped a Bible and opened it to rend. His eyes first fell on the forty-sixth pslam and at the passage, "Put vour trust in Him. and you shall be saved." He was saved, and those who fear God fear nothing. rcarful Tots of Faith. Mr. J. Hatch followed Kev. Mr. Beal. He was fortunate in saving his life after a thrilling experience, but his wife was .washed away. He said he trusted in the heavenly father and His infinite lore for his safety. There is salvation in prayer, he thought, and he hoped that they all might be prepared to meet the ones who had gone whin the time came. "William H. Tumble- jstrme also addressed the gathering and was followed by a fervent prayer bv Mr. Hatch and the sincine of the doxology. Another meeting was held this afternoon, which was attended by a large concourse of people, who were touched bv the thrilling and tearful experiences of those who were rescued. There were instances where many who were lost shov?ed the virtue of Chris tianity, and with the happy hope of meet ing again the unfortunate ones, went down to death, to meet again in heaven. The Eev. Father Tahaney, of the parish of St. Mary's, whose church was destroyed by fire immediately after the flood, held a short service this morning, and after mass Eave his parishioners a "practical talk," as he expressed it He said: Must Endeavor to Forcer. A little over a week has passed since the waters of the South Fork dam, bursting through their prison walls, swept through the valley of tbe Uonemaugb like an avalanche, and in a moment destroyed the work of years of human labor. Thousands of your dearly loved relatives and friends perished in the seething torrent before our very eyes; scarcely one among you but iho has to mourn the loss of father, mother, brother or sister. Many of you are homeless and dependent upon tbe charity of friends or Derhaps strangers, and yet I say to you "Hope."" Great as has been our affliction, heavy as our burden seems, we must endeavor to forget God our Father, who. in His infinite wi-dom, has seen fit to tbns afflict us knows all things and acts for the best Although we can't appreciate it now, perhaps the destruction of our loved Johnstown may be the means adopted by God to bestow some great lesson and consequent benefit to tbe human race. A public meeting for religious worship was held in Jlorrellville last night, at the headquarters of the Americus Club Relief Committee, under the auspices ol that so ciety. Kev. E. G. Iionghrey, of Leechburg, was the officiating clergyman. The Ameri cus choir, Messrs. Jsoble, "Voigt, McCord and Reese, opened the service by singing the verv appropriate hvmn, "Nearer, My God to "Thee." The tex't was from. Psalm xix., 7. "The law of the Iiord is perfect converting the soul." The speaker advo cated the theory that there is Nothing New Under the Son. and staredt that he considered "originality was an impossibility;" that everything we do or .say finds its origin in the law of Al mighty God. Mr. Laughrey claims that tbe law of God is perfect,inasmuch as where the works of God are not tampered with by human interference, there is no danger to be apprehended. He deplored the readiness with which people consider every accident a visitation of Providence, and not the nat ural result of their own folly or careless ness. Said he: Why, to illustrate, if men had not tampered with God's work by attempting to dam and force a stream out of its natural bed there would have been no accident, and the valley of the uonemaugn wouianx now oe in tears. Tbe Scrvlcci nt the Camp of the Fourteenth Begiment were conducted by Kev. L. Macuire, an old Methodist minister, and chaplain of the regiment. The audience sang "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing." Chaplain Maguire announced bis text, "Trust in tbe Lord and do good, so shalt thou dwell in the land." Before delivering his sermon tbe congregation sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," and while it was being sung Mr. George "W. Moses went up to the pastor and said: "Cora, my wife, sang that while we were floating down the river, and we were both saved." Dr. .Maguire said that there were 1,074 members of the Stone Church in Johnstown and only 37 were lost Kev. Mr. Colliven then made a few remarks. He was followed by John Fulton, General Manager of the Cambria Iron "Works, who told a tragic tale of the flood and otthe evidence of the power of God in saving some who wept this morn ing instead of being grate !ul. KAINE, MOETON, IiUTT. BEAYER TALKS. Continued from First Page. briskly into Superintendent Pit cairn's, pri vate car on their return trip to Pittsburg, and Mr. Pitcairn and Vice President; King, of the Baltimore and Ohio, appeared per fectly satisfied. All expressed themselves so in hearty terms, but, with one exception, declined to talk about the meet'.ng. They referred the anxious correspondents, who had been kept out by a guard c onsisting of a lieutenant colonel, a lieutenai it and a sen try, to Governor Beaver, who, grasping sev eral he knew by the hand, sts jted for Vice President King's private car j accompanied by a staff officer, an orderly and a represent ative from each of the cress rtssociations. To a stenographer in the car he dictated a statement which was given, to each of the latter. J. B. Scott dictator of Johnstown and vicinity. told the correspondents that the Governor would relieve the present director ate and management of its responsibilities on "Wednesday of the present week. He said a commission was to be appointed which would take chrirge of the work of clearing Johnstown. The commission will be appointed under the provisions of a law that authorizes the State to provide for the purity and purificfition of streams. As to how the money is to be raised, he was unable to state. The com mission, when appointed, would have to de-side that matter for itself. Contributions would undoubtedly continue to be needed. T'aey certainly would be for relief, and possibly for the sanitary work as well. No Special Session nt All. "No," Mr. Scott said, with some em phasis, "there will be no special session of the Legislatfire." So said every one ap proached on the subject General Hastings later stated to The Dispatch (correspondent that after "Wednesday he would have complete charge of Johnstown. "Whatever commission may or may not be appointed, he will be in active command. "There will be no martial law," he said, "as nothing of the kind is provided for in the laws of Pennsylvania. The military will continue to do guard duty, aided by civil guards, merely as a police measure. "I cannot say whether or not more troops will be ordered here. That is for future consideration. My first work will begin to morrow at the dam at the bridge, and I will gradually work in from that to full control of not only the cleaning of the town, but of the, distribution of relief. The commissary and quartermaster's departments of the National Guard will be used for this pur pose. They have been here since last week, and are by this time familiar with the ground and the conditions. "There are 350 men at work on the dam to-day. I will soon have a force equivalent to 2,000 men at work on it, and will have it ail cleared away within a week. The force will be principally in the shape of hoisting engines. The additional men will not num ber more than 20, and will probably not ex ceed 175. The work, I think, will progress rapidly. I will do everything in my power." A Survey of the Dam. General Hastings went on horseback this evening, with Mr. Flinn, and took a survey of tbe dam. The latter gentleman will with draw all his men on "Wednesday, except those who may choose to remain here, and General Hastings will make his own ar rangements for the necessary labor. Captain Jones, Mr. Hartman and others will remove their own employes also. The camp, as at present arranged for the laborers, will be used by General Hastings for the men he employs. The tents are, for the most part, the property of Ohio. Such as are private property will be taken away with the withdrawal of the men. The dining sheds, commissary sheds and stables will stand as at present Cooking camps will also have to be supplied, but General Hastings may be able to make ar rangements to keep those now here. "With the arrangement that will be made to sub stitute steam for muscle, the work will pro gress much more rapidly, and it will not be necessary to make such extensive camp pro vision. Two steam hoisters are now at work on the dam, and to-morrow there will be ad ditional ones. There were present at the conference to day Governor Beaver, Colonel School maker, Messrs. "William McCreery, S. S. Marvin, H. I. Gonrley, "W. K. Ford, J. B. Scott, Thomas M. King, Mr. McCoy, Cap tain "W. B. Jones, Adjutant General Hast ings, Benben Miller and Sheriff McCan dless. A general discussion of the situation was had. The Governor's Scheme. The Governor indulged in a long talk re viewing the situation and making many suggestions. Mr. "William McCreery, Chairman of the Belief Committee, then made a long state ment, and said he thought it was time the relief committees were relieved of the work oi clearing away the debris by the State. The Governor said all the necessary money conld be raised; that there were 2C0 men who would become responsible for $5,000 each: that he would give his bond to the State Treasurer for 1,000,000, with those 200 men as bondsmen, and the State Treasurer wonld then pay out the $1,000,000 for the necessary work. "When the Legislature met tbe money withdrawn from the Treasury could be appropriated. He said that the money already subscribed should be used entirely for the relief of the sufferers, and the money from the State Treasurer be used for restoring the vicinity to its condition before the flood. All debts already contracted for the removal of debris should be paid, bnt All Money mid Oat for this purpose from the relief fund shall be refunded, so that every cent subscribed for relief of the stricken people shall be 1 used for that purpose alone. The Governor has $250,000 in his hands now for the relief fund. A committee of seven well-known men ot the State will be appointed to dis tribute the relief fund, and the present Be lief Committee is to continue the work of relief till the commission is "appointed. After the commission has been appointed the future operations of the Pittsburg Be lief Committee rests with them. The re port of the above meeting, from where the Governor's views are given, was furnished by the Associated Press. Simpson. FOUND IN HER E0CKING CHAIR.

Last Sunday it was reported that a number of drummers had committed suicide rather than face the waters, but tbe report could not be verified. The first real suicide was discovered by Dr. Jessop to-day. He noticed a slight cnt below the heart of a lady, and on probing the wound he found the blade of a knife sticking between the ribs. The blade, about three inches long, extended in beyond the apexof the heart. It was a small penknife, and the doctor thinks the lady committed suicide. The wound was in a fatal spot, and the position of the knife in that part of the body couldn't be accounted for on any other theory than that the poor woman took her own life. Israel. SATS KOBODI WAS WARNED. Father Tnhnney Says If There Wns Any Pool Revere It's News to Him. IFBOM A STAFF COBBISPONTIEXT. J Johnstown, June 9. The Eev. Father Tahaney claims that the reports that the people at the time of the flood were warned, either by telegram or messenger, are false. He was out among the people almost the entire day, and if any .warning had heen given he would certainly have been cogni zant of the fact This is important, coming from so reliable and well-known authority, and will have considerable influence in settling a much disputed question.

The suicide to-day of William Young, a private of CompanyO, Four teenth Begiment, has cast a gloom over the camp. It was learned from his brother-in-law Corporal Stimmel, of the same comnahy, that Private Young was subject to fits of mental aberration. "Last -fall, about apple-picking time," said Mr. Stimmel, "ho became possessed of the idea that there was a man in the woods who in tended to shoot him. To-day he attended the religious service, and when be came back he said some one was golDg to hang him. He stood on the bank there until after the steeple of the church had been blown down. Five minutes later we heard a shot in his tent, just back of Captain Nesbit's, and we found him dead. The bullet had gone through his head and out through the roof of the tent He was quite cheerful when we left home, and was very anxious to come. 1 suppose the surround ings affected his mind." Ho Meant to Kill Himself. "I heard tho shot," said Captain Nesbit, "in the tent just back of me, and beard the rattling oftheaamrod. It looks as though Young had put the gun to his head, and used the ramrod to pull the trigger, for It lay beside him. He had been complaining of feeling unwell, and yesterday I relieved him of guard duty mtho afternoon, but learned that he volunteered to guard the town last night He had been suf fering from constipation, and I told him to get some medicine from the surgeon. It was in his pocket untouched to-day. He had a delusion that he had lost all his friends. His brother told me how he cured him last fall, and I had a notion to try it myself, but did not I am very glad now I didn't speak harshly to him. Had! done so, and this happened I could never have forgiven myself." Private Young lived at Toms Bun. He was a farm laborer by occupation.

Dr. Wllhrow Thinks tbe Fishing Club Alone to Blnmo for the Disaster. Chicago, June 9. Nearly a full dozen clergy men throughout Chicago, and representing almost that number of different denominations, preached to-day upon the subject of the Johns town horror. The prevailing public sentiment was voiced most strongly, perhaps, by tho Bev. J. L. 'Wlthrow, pastor of the Second Presby terian Church, one of the largest congregations in the West Dr. Withrow declared that the calamity could not be classed as an "act of God" and the responsibility laid on the Almighty. He said in substance that the real burden of blame pressed upon the shoulders of the Pittsburg club, whose thoughtless selfishness was more concerned in maintaining a pleasure resort than in tbe safety of thousands of their fellowmen.

Tho Almost Miraculous Rescue of n Missing Child. rSPECTAL TELEGRAM TO THE mSFATCn.1 New Haven, June 9. An extraordinary case of babes in the woods is reported from the charcoal district on Salisbury mountain, near Jeails village. Four miles from the settlement, in the thickest of the mountain woods, is an encampment of charcoal burners, among them bein Andrew Fowler. On Thursday two little children of Fowler's wandered from the pater nal hut The oldest one was readily found, but the other, a child of 3 years, became frightened and strayed so far away as to become lost. All attempts 'to discover it were futile, and when tbe storm of Friday and Saturday set in it was not. doubted that the little one would die from exposure. The ex citement among the farmers became intense and a searching party was organized, compris ing 1S3 men, who, with flaming torches and lanterns, scoured the woods for miles around. It was not until 2 o'clock on Saturday after noon that their search was rewarded. Thpn the child was found In a secluded spot in a mo-sy glen, where it bad fallen. The little thing was without stockings, shoes or hat, and had been out in tho woods for three days and two nights, crawling here and there, without any protection from the pitiless storm which raged almost incessantly. istrange to say, the child was apparently un harmed and did not appear to he much the worse from its thrilling and hazardous adven ture. Durii.g the search a number of men be came lost in the forest, and it was some time before all were accounted for by rollcall. The hardy fellows then ranged themselves in line, and such was the desire to see the tough little specimen of humanity that had suffered so many hardships that the child, after being fed, was wrapped in a blanket and passed along the line to be looked at It was greeted with hearty cheers. HE WILL NOT BE BLUFFED. A Jxnther mixed up unse uoncernlns a 820 Confederate Note. rSFECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.) New York, June 9. Florence Mc Carthy, of 216 West Twenty-seventh street, who works in Carey & Moon's steel factory, received $33 un May 29 as his fortnight's wages. He was paid with a$20note,a J10 note and three silver dollars. When Florence reached home he gave his aged mother a 20 note. She straightway went to Mrs, Catharine O'Dea, who keeps a grocery at 219 in the same street, where Mrs. McCarthy has been in the habit of running up fortnightly bills. Mrs. McCarthy paid her bill, which amounted to a littlo oyer Sfi, and received something more than 13 in change. On Friday afternoon, when the baker s man came to collect Bis Dill from Mrs. O'Dea, she banded him a $20 note; be banded back the note, laughing, and asked her if she expected him to turn in a Confederate note to his employers. Mrs. O'Dea said that this was the note that she had got fiom Mrs. McCarthy. She sent her son with tho note to Mrs. McCarthy. Mrs. Mc Carthy bad not noticed the note particularly. She knew nothing about Confederate money. She thought that very likely it was this Confederate note that she had given to Mrs. O'Dea, but Florence said that be knew better. He declared that tbe bill he had given his mother was the one he had received from his employer and was genuine, and he advised Patrick not to try to bluff him. AN ALARMING EDNAWAT. The Biff Bell on City Hull Breaks Loose and Frightens Citizens. When the alarm from -box 313 was sounded shortly before 9 o'clock last night the electric machinery of the big bell in City Hal got out of order and went tapping away for a couple of minutes. Tbe unusual ringing caused great excitement, and in a moment apparently all the streets were filled with people anxious to learn the cause of the strange alarm. Many thought it was a call for the Eighteenth Begi ment to go to Johnstown; others thought a big fire had broken out at City Hall, while many more thought a riot had broken out and the call was lor tbe police. A grand rush was made for Central station, and when the peace ful condition of the officers sitting about there was seen the crowd carried the word along and soon dispersed. Tho Mormons Mast Go. .

PLAIN PROOF OF THIS. The Expressman Who Took the Fanltnro to the Carlsoa Cottage Discovered A Sen sntlonnl Cine Which Proved to bo With- . out Foundation Somo New Facts. ISrECTAI. TELEOnASI TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Chicago, June 9. The expressman who carried the furniture from 117 Clark street to the Carlson cottage has heen found. His name is Hakan Martinaon. He will prob ably appear before the Coroner's jury to morrow. Two men, one whom Martinaon describes as intensely powerful and having a red face and a dark brown mustache, hired him three months ago to move the goods. They paid him $150 for the job. Tho big man's companion was short and muscular. The bloody clothes which were found by a rag picker in an ash barrel on Elstone avenue three weeks ago, and which it was believed were worn by one of the murderers of Dr. Cronin, belonged to a Milwaukee avenue bar ber who committed suicide several weeks ago. The earments were cut off his dead body. x.viueuuD buai. ur. cronin was, as ne always claimed to be, one of LeCaron's bitterest ene mies is accumulating slowly but surely. He opposed the British spy at every opportunity, both in and out of the Clan-Na-Gael. and did everythlnjfin his power to prove that lie Caron was a man unworthy of confidence. PLAIN EVIDENCE. About two yearsago, when LeCaron undertook to obtain admission to the Illinois Catholic Order of Foresters, Cronin defeated his admis sion by means of a letter which he wrote the then Secretary of St Aloysius Court. In the letter ho charged that Le Caron was unfit to be a Forester and intimated broadly that he was a hireling of the British Government. Le Caron sought admission to the order through Officer Houhllan. of the Fourteenth street station, and Houhllan. before filing the spy's application, spoke to Dr. Cronin about It The doctor promptly advised him to drop the matter, but in order to make doubly sure that Le Caron would not slip in by a trick, the doc tor wrote the denunciatory letter to the Sec retary. That settled Le Caron's aspirations. This letter is locked in a vault in Sodality hall. It will bo read officially in every court of the Foresters during the next week for the purpose of dissipating tho Idea that Cronin ever entered the business of selling the secrets of the Irish Americans to the English Government There is another thing that goes to show no love was lost between Le Caron and Cronin. The former was not only a member of the committee that tried and expelled him on Policeman Brown's charge of treason, but he was also one of the chief witnesses against tho doctor. A SENSATIONAL CLEW. One of the most sensational clews the police have run down came from Lake View last Fri day. It is a story to tho effect that Mrs. Bohde, who lives on Woodside avenue, bad washed a lot ot bloody clothes and a carpet for P. O. Sullivan, the ice man, less than a week after Cronin was murdered. The man who gave this information declared he heard Mrs. Bnhde tell this story a half dozen times. To-day, however, when Acting Superintendent Behutler- visited tho woman she flatlv denied tho storv that she had made any such declaration. She admitted having washed P. O. Sullivan's clothes on May 1 and again on May 7, but declared that there was not a drop of blood on them. Mrs. Bohde will be summoned to appear before the Coroner's jury. Chief Hubbard to-day received a telegram from Now York to the effect that one of tho two suspects whom Inspector Byrne's officers are shadowing has snddenlv disappeared. His comrade, however, was seen to-day. SI0DX SLOW TO SIGN. They Hesitate Before Opening Their Res crvatlons to White Settlers. Rosebud Agency, Dak., June 9. The Sioux Commissioners have Tested to-day, but feel very much encouraged over the re sult of yesterday's work, and are hopeful thathy Tuesday nitjht or "Wednesday, at least, they will.have the required 1,050 voters necessary to make a majority of the Indians at the agency. The redskins have spent tlie day discussing the provisions of the bill, and it is evident that those in favor of signine aro doing good work among their more obstinate brethren. The half-breeds are nearly all favorable to the bill and desire to dispose of the lands asked therein and settle down and get the benefit of tho very liberal provision made for them by Congress. In a speech at the Council last night a half-breed told the Indians that thev were too slow and should make up their minds at once. This aroused the ire of the red men, who object to bo hurried, and there were low cries of "Kill him," "Kill him." For a time it looked as if violence wonld be at tempted, but order was finally restored. Some of the Indians want the commissioners to call a grand council of all tbe Indians on the various leservatlons, and say they could then all counsel together and makeup their minds. This, the commissioners explained, thev could not do, as they were under orders to visit each agency, and must obey the Great Father's word. So far 453 signatures have been secured, not quite half enough at this agency. A fail ure here means a failure at tho other agencies, and the commission will use every art of suasion known to induce the Indians to sign. AMONG THE SPIRITS. Some of Them Put on the Witness Stand Last Evening: and Questioned. Helen Stuart Bitchings dealt in spiritual manifestations at No. 6 Sixth street last even ing, and quite a crowd seemed to be satisfied that there was something supernatural about tho affair. Questions were propounded by tbe audience, such as "Have-we any proof of im mortality?" "Can we communicate with the dead?" "Can spirits foretell future events?" Tho answers seemed to satisty most people present and they reported spiritual manifesta tions professedly recognized by all the audi ence. There was a talk on reincarnation, and the lady gave several psychometric readings. THE TOPE IS SAD. Ho Socks Seclusion and Refuses to See Anyone. EOME, June 9. The Pope is much de pressed.

The grand steeplechase at Auteuil to-day was won by Le Torpllleus, with The Sikk second and Fairfox third. There were 14 starters. The last betting was 5 to 1 against Torpilleus, 7 to 1 against SIKk, 2 tol against Fairfox, 3 to 1 against Fetich, 7 to 1 each against Bellona and ChipDeway, 20 to 1 against Lord Chatham, 23 to I against Flais, and 30 to 1 each against Trinidad and Primaute. At the Btart Primaute, Fairfox and Trinidad took tbe lead, with Lord Chatham and Bellona In the rear. The lot kept a steady pace to the big brook, which all cleared in fine style. At the wall Chipneway fell, throwing his rider, who, however, regained his seat On the third round Chippeway took the lead, but he was un able to maintain it, and retired. On tbe last round Primaute and Royal Meath fell, and Lord Chatham, who was in front took the wrong course, thus spoiling his chanco of winning. Bellona and Fetich' were the next to fall. La Torpilleus then drew to tbe front and won by a length. Grand steeplechase de Paris, handicap, distance i miles 110 yards. M. G. Ledats .le Torpilleus, 4 years old. 146 CUtrn Was First.

Ex-Senator Sabln Waats n Divorce From His Wife on the Charge of Drunken ness Tho Case Began ta a Minnesota Coart Its Probable Be - snlr. St. Paul, June 9. A divorce case has heen begnn-in the district court of "Washing ton county of the most sensational charac ter, both on account of the national prom inence oi the parties and from the shocking facts which surround the proceedings in whispers. Thisisnoless than a suit brought by ex-Senator D. M. Sabin against his wife. The summons was served personally upon Mrs. Sabin at Flushing, Lone Island, something over a week ago, but the com plaint has not yet been filed in court The charge made in the complaint is that of habitual drunkenness, an allegation which in itself will be most shocking to the society of Washington and other cities where Mrs. Sabin has long been a shining light. It is asserted that Mrs. Sabin had for some time previous to her marriage been an invalid, and during that time became addicted to the use of morphine. The habit, it is claimed, has been indulged in to a greater of less extent ever since, and in later years she has added to it the use of intoxicating liquors. It is stated that during the absence from home of Mr. Sabin she occasionally indulged in liquors and drugs to excess. At the close of Mr. Sabin's Senatorial ca reer Mrs. Sabin was placed, at her own re quest, in the Asylum for Inebriates at Flushing, where she is at the present time. Socially, Mrs. Sabin is a most fascinating lady, and during Mr. Sabin's Senatorial career in Washington she gave weekly re ceptions, which were among the most popu lar given by any lady in that city, and attended by the most distinguished people. Itis doubtful whether the fault of which she is charged in the complaint ever became apparent to any of her Washington guests, or came to the knowledge of her friends there. Mr. and Mrs. Sabin have no chil dren of their own. The fact that a suit is commenced will be news to all, J. N. Searles, of Stillwater, is Mr. Sabin's attor ney. What course Mrs. Sabin will pursue is not yet known, bat it is believed she will not resist the suit. She has still many warm friends, and will be the subject of wide sympathy. The ex-Senator also has the sympathy of all who- know him in this most unfortunate affair. THE WEATHEE. For Western Penn sylvania, rain, cooler, southwesterly winds.

President Nlinlck Makes an Encouraging Statement Aboat the Clab. President Nlmlck made the Important state ment yesterday that so tar this season tbe local club had not lost a cent. Mr. Nimick ought to be in a position to know, hut other officials ot the clnb stated a few days ago that the club had at least lost SIO.OCO. It will be seen that there is a wide discrepancy between the two statements, but there is no reason whatever to think that Mr. NImick's statement is not cor rect It is safe to say that it is, and it must be accented as true. This declaration on the part of Mr. Kimlck will undoubtedly be a surprise to many people: however, it is a pleasure to say that the sur prise will be a happy one. Daring a conversa tion yesterday afternoon, Mr. Niralck said: "The club has not lost a cent so far, bnt it has made nothing. Ot course, our receipts are short of what they wero last year at this time, and that may in a measure be deemed a loss. If we bad been at home last month instead of be ing abroad we would have been considerably out of pocket, as tho weather has been wretched here. However, I still have the ut most confidence in the team. 1 feel certain that the boys will come out all right as soon as our pitchers get into condition. Certainly I think Manager Phillips did light In putting Staley in to pitch first at Cleveland. WANTS THE YOUNGSTERS TRIED. "I believe in trying the youngsters as much as much as possible; not only Staley, bnt the others also. All that is needed at present is patience and public encouragement Nothing will do tbe players more good than words of cheer by the press. They are passing through great difficulties, and they need kindly words rather than censure," President Nimick is in receipt of a circular from President N. E. Young regarding the de mands and propositions of the Players' Brotherhood. Each club President in the League has been supplied with a copy, but tbe definite contents of the circular are rigidly kept secret However, it is known that the object of tho circular is to secure the opinions of the various Presi dents on the matter. Mr. Nimick has not declared himself on the qnestion yet and will not likely do so until his and the other Presidents' opinions have been forwarded to headquarters. While it may be taken for granted that tbe club will stick rigidly to a limltationofs.ilaryruIe.it may be that It will be willing for some change in the present graded salary plan. That plan seems doomed, and it is interesting to note how leading au thorities are now advocating objections to it that were pointed out in this paper when tbe J Ian was hurriedly adopted. Here is Presi ent J. B. Day's latest opinion, as expressed to Mr. Lamer, of Washington: WHAT MR. DAY SAYS. "While Mr. John B. Day was here last Mon day I had tho pleasure of a few minutes' chat with him at Capital Park, on the subject of the classification rule. He denounced the system in most emnhatic terms, and argues that every clnb should have tho privilege of sayine how much it can afford to pay its players. He in sists that he is better able to judge bow much be can pay certain players than President Youngior any other man who is not familiar with his individual affairs. Mr. Day does not appear to have any well-defined system to sub stitute for the classification rnle, yet he claims that he Is not an advocate of fancy salaries, and asserts that tbe abolition of tbe classification rule will be beneficial to the weaker as well as the stronger clubs. He has not jet furnished me with a satisfactory explanation of his propo sition, but I suppose he has one. He says he would be in favor of a salary limit, and wonld lire up to it if tbe other clubs would do the same. He says he would also be in favor of pooling the receipts of all tho clubs and have an equal division of the plunder. Mr. Day is a great wag, and it is possible that he was guy ing me. I could not help but wonder if he was in earnest, and also whether he would have suggested a division of the gate receipts if his club had continued to play at the Polo grounds." CAYLOE'S VIEW OF IT. O. P. Caylor's opinion of it is as follows: "It is not surprising that there is dissatisfaction amone players and club owners over the classi fication rule as it exists in the League. Tbe result is natural. The League and the Association- are a great deal like the two houses of Congress in their relations to each other. You can't make radical rales for one and not for the other so long as tho two is governed by a code of general laws. The class rule will never work satisfactorily in one body while it Is ignored by the other. It will neverwork well either until the players have a voice in the classification. I would rather trnst men like Anson and Comlskey to do this work than any League or Association 'magnate' or officer. Let the players have a voice In the matter and I'll war rant the total sum of salaries will not be in creased thereby, but there will be live times the satisfaction given that there is given now by the Leaguo rules." These expressions of opinion are significant and thongb, as above stated, the objections are not new. they will bear rtpeatine by in fluential gentlemen like Messrs. Day and Caylor.

Arthur Irwin, for so long the Captain of the Philadelphia team, has been sold to the Washingtons for a reported sum of J3.0OO. The sale of Irwin's release was consummated on Saturday when President Walter Hewitt came here and made an offer which President Reach accepted. The "Wash ington club has been after Irwin for some time, but President Hewitt would not agree to pay the sum demanded for his release until he was forced to do so for want of a 'competent short stop for his team. Irwin will receive a salary of $3,200 and will ba captain of the Senators. John Morrill will still play on the team and bo manager, while Irwin will have exclusive control of the Senators while on the field. The Philanelphias, as re constructed, will include Ward, late of New Orleans, on second, Hallman at short and Fo garty as captain. A Correction. There was a rignificant error in paragraph headed, "It is Really Robbery," in Pringle's Review yesterday. The sentence: "There are gentlemen financially interested in baseball every year, while, on the other hand, there is scarcely a ball player in tbeLeagnewho can save considerably every year," should hava read: "There are gentlemen financially inter, ested in baseball who are losing money every year, while, on the other hand.tbere is scarcely a ball player in the Leaeuo who cannot sava considerable every year." Favored Detroit. rerlCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THIS DISPATCS.1 Buffalo, N. Y., Jane 9. Last week's change in the International League schedulo benefited the Detroit club. That club by superior playing advanced from fifth to third plnce. Toronto and Rochester characterized their games by miserable work,, bnt Toronto has beaten Rochester in pretty good style. Buffalo is weak in the pitcher's box, and all that Jack Rowe and Deacon White have done seems unavailing. They must get new pitchers or stay at the bottom. The First Sunday Game. Newaux; N.

Kelly, the Gecser's, Smart Trick John Murphy Dying. John Temple, the well-known horseman ol this city, retained from the East on Saturday, and dnring a conversation yesterday said soma interesting things about the Eastern trotters and drivers. He related an amusing incident regarding the well-known Kelly, the "Geeser." Kelly was recently driving a young trotter in a race where Mr. Wood Martin was judge. Kelly had won two heats and Mr. Martin bad reason to call Kelly up to the stand and re marked: "Now. Kelly, you must win this race." Kelly replied: "Why now, Mr. Martin, must' is pretty strong. You are an old horse man yourself and yon come down and win with the colt: I cannot, ha has not been worked so ficlent." The "Geeser's invitation was not accepted, bnt it quieted Mr. Martin. J Mr. Temple also stated that "Uncle" John E. Turner intends to take charge of a stable of runners next fall. What he Intends to do with his trotting stable is not definitely known. Mr, Temple further gave information to the effect that John Murphy, the famous driver, is dying, and is not expected to live many days. Murphy has had a long and honorable career. He was never known to throw a race and was Mr. Bon ner's private driver. Smai-Grocw-Growl.
