GENERAL BASEBALL NEWS OP THE DAI
The local ball clnb returned home from
the East sifter a disastrous trip. Manager
Hanlon talks interestingly about the club's
affairs. Brooklyn won two games from
Louisville and the St. Louis club was beaten
by the Athletics. Boston and Uew York
are making a great fiqht.
The local ball club returned from its last
Eastern trip of the season yesterday, with
one victory to its record for the entire jour
ney. The players all looked in good condi
tion, and were as merry as if they had
won CTery game on the trip. Defeat cer
tainly had left no sad impressions on their
countenances. Manager Hanlon, however, was
somewhat disconsolate about the disastrous
trip, and talked frankly about it.
'The players." he said, "were weary to start
on the journey Eastward. They had played so
man hard games at home day after day that
many of us were sick when wo started for the
East. I felt very tick, indeed, and Ounlap was
far from well. Our pitchers were all out of
form. and. altogether, we were in a very bad
condition. I am in hopes that we will brace up
from now on nntil the end of the season. The
end is not far off now, and I think we will win
a good majoritv of the games we have to play.
Excepting three games, we play all the balance
ot the season on the home grounds."
THE TWO XEW PITCHERS.
Referring to the two now pitchers that arc ex
pected to join the club, the manager said: "I
don't think that Hess will come, bnt if he does we
will giTehim a trial. He was highly recom
mended to Sir. Nimick, and that's all I know
about him. I have not seen him pitch. How
ever, we would like to try him. 1 don't know
anj thing as to whether or not Jones, of Home
stead, will join us. That is in Mr. NimicK's
hands. I understand that he is a very promis
ing pitcher."
"Will Morris be retained?" was asked.
"Now I cannot say anything about that. The
matter is not in my charge, but is left entirely
with Mr. Nimick and the directors. I cannot
say anythinc on the subject."
The team will tackle tbe Clevelands to-day
for the last series of the season. There is very
little enthusiasm about the games, entirely be
cause of tbe poor showing of the club during
its last trip. The Clevelands, however, have
lately been something of a mascot for tbe home
club, and it may be that their presence here
may change the path of defeats to one of vic
tory. The Babies, however, are playing a strong
game, and it will not be surprising if they win
two out of the three cames that they are ex
pected to play here. The home team is un
doubtedly once more in difficulties with its
pitchers; and as there will be many extra
games to play here, the probability is that the
finish of the season will be just as disastrous as
the former part has been.
PITCHEE CONWAY DOUBTFUL.
It is not expected that Conway will go into
the box any more this year. Some of his friends
think be will, and if he does not Maul will be
called in to pitch
Morns' case is still undecided, but the direct
tors may determine this week, by letter, what
will be done with him. It he is released it is
not probable that he will play any mbre this
year. He is inclined to stay at his home and
manage his business.
Galvin will pitch for the home club to-day,
and eitber O'Brien or Gruber will be in the box
for the visitors. It may be that Jones will be
given a try against tbe Clevelands either to
morrow or Wednesday. If he is to he tried at
all the best opportunity seems to be this week.
He has many admirers in and about FittsDurg,
and they are wistful that he he given a trial as
soon as possible.
After the present series with Cleveland is
finished the home club will go to Indianapolis
for three games, and return to the home
grounds to-day week. The Washingtons will
then be here, and ill be followed by the other
three Eastern clubs. Boston will close the
season, and it is probable that the close will be
exciting, because of the close struggle between
the Bean Eaters and the Giants. This fact may
-mate the closing games of the season the most
exciting of the year.
ASSOCIATION GAMES.
Brooklyn Wins Two More Games From the

fined S-0 by Goldsmith and ordered from the
field. Attendance, 1,083.

The Old Pennnylvanla CnnnI is to be
Per-
mnnrntly Abandoned.
ICrrCIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Huntingdon, September 15. The old
Pennsylvania canal, which for years was
the channel of commerce and travel from
I one end of this State to the other, is about
to be permanently abandoned. For
several years past the operation
of the canal has been attended
with regular losses, and now, inasmuch as
it is owned by the Pennsylvania Boilroad,
which carries all tbe tonnage lormerly trans
ported on the canal, the determina
tion has been reached to allow the
canal property to go to ruin, and
nothing, it seems, can-be done to save
it. From 1830, the year in which the canal
was first put in operation, uutil'1850, when
the Pennsylvania Railroad completed its
line from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, the
canal was the only means of 'transportation
for passengers and freight across the country.
From 185X1 until now the" ca'nal was still
maintained throughout a Dortion of. its
route for the transportation. of coal, stone
and lumber. From this town -westward to
Petersburg tbe canal was totally
destroyed by the floods of last
June, and tlie channel :n now
a ruinous mass of debris and rocks. The
Pennsylvania Railroad is surveying cer
tain sections of it with aviewof transterring
the railroad tracks from the present roadbed
to the canal site, in order to avoid some of
the sharp curves.

BALTIMORE'S HORSE RACISG VENTURE.
Winner of the French Omnlnm Slates, and General

The Dispatch's special baseball corre
spondent at Cleveland sends some interest
ing reading about theproposed new brother
hood of ball players. Plain and forcible
reasons are given for the referee's decision in
the recent boat race. A new horse racing
association has been organized at Baltimore.
rsrECIAL COnRESrONDENCE OP THE DISPATCH.
Cleveland, O., September 15. The local
baseball cranks, of all grades and stations of
life, and without regard to previous condition
of servitude, have been thoroughly agitated
this week over the report of a consolidation of
forces between Al Johnson, of this city, and
John M. Ward. The stories that have been in
circulation in this, Johnson's home, would put
to flight those ancient yam spinners who con
cocted the stones of the "Arabian Nights,"
and make them bide their faces in downright
dismay at their inability to equal the liars of
the nineteenth century. One rumor had it that
Johnson had bought tbe Cleveland club out
right; another that he had offered a big price
for the Pittsburg club and was going to run tbe
organizations in both cities; and still a third
said that he had decided to invest 5200,000 in
the baseball business,which is probably several
thousand more shekels than ho can command.
To tell the plain truth about Johnson he is no
more fit to be in control of a baseball organiza
tion than was the wrecker Lucas. Johnson
would do very well to run a street car com
pany, and ho would run a baseball club with
about the same tactics. He would be the
driver and the club the horse. But ball players
are generally too Intelligent to desire to be
driven, and it wouldn't be long before they
would begin to balk under Johnson's regime
and sigh for a return to their former man
agers. Your correspondent has taken the most care
ful pains to trace down every story in Cleve
land and huut up every rumor, and does not
believe that there is tho slightest foundation
that the story is true. That it began its circu
lation from Cleveland there is not much doubt,
and that it; object is to terrify (T) the League
magnates before tbe next meeting thcro is no
question, it am not originate with the mem
bers of the Cleveland club, and on tbe whole, I
do not think thero are any members of the
Cleveland club foolish enough to entrust them
selves to a concern managed by Al Johnson. If
there are any I shall be greatly surprised, for I
had formed a better opinion of their personal
business foresight and general intelligence.
The differences between the brotherhood and
League should be settled as differences are
settled between men of business Integrity, and
not by the circulation of poppycock rumors
that are laughed at on all sides.
Secretary Hawley. of the local organization,
has been over among the CanucKs watching
the Internationals play ball. "I tell you
what it is." said he, "that's the greatest minor
league mat was ever organized in this country,
and the style of ball that they play over there
is fit to grace any diamond.1' and then lie
added, as ho saw an inquisitive look coming
over the writer's face, "but there are
no players in that organization that can
add strength to Cleveland. Not' one
of our present men will be released. Tbey
have done what is right by us this vcar, and we
shall do what is right by them. The only thing
that the Cleveland club has to regret in its
season's work is that the victories came all in
a bunch and the defeats in the same way.
Jimmy McAIeer is nursing that badly injured
ankle of his in the solitude of Youmrstown,
and bemoaning his inability to be with his
club. Of all the youngsters that have gone
into the outfield of the stronger associations
this year from the minor leagues of last year,
not one has made the brilliant fielding record
that McAIeer has. "Bug" Holliday has proven
a harder hitter, but watch McAIeer another
year and see if the boy doesn't develop into
somethinc of a League slujrger himself.
Cleveland will play some exhibition Fames
with Detroit, Toledo, Columbus and Cincin
nati, and then the season of 1SS9 will have
passed into oblivion and on to tbe records of
the year's work, and Cleveland will have the
proud satisfaction of knowing that no first
year organization ever equalled their perform
ance. And there is another individual who
will take a good deal of satisfaction out of it
in a quiet way. His name is Tom Lot tus, and
he is one of the best, if not the best, manager
in the business. John B. Foster.
TO BOOM RACING.
A New Association Formed nt Bnltlmoro
for Runners nnd Athletics.
rSFECIAI. TELEQnAM TO THS DISPATCH. I
Baltimore, September 15. The Pimlico
Racing and Exposition Association will super-
seede the Maryland Jockey Club, the latter now
being practically dead. The object of the new
association is to conduct exposition, running
and trotting races and athletic sports. Tho
membership is limited to 1,000, the fee to he 25
per annum. The building at Pimlico is to re
main as a permanent State Exposition hall,
the upper floor to be fitted up into a clubroom,
with a restaurant and bar for tbe use of mem
bers. The Maryland Jockey Club has given up
its lease to the grounds, and large purses w ill
be offered to draw the best horses of the coun
try to the track. During the winter the
grounds will be used as a breeding center, and
there will be semi-annual sales of horses. The
stables will be improved, and will be used for
quarters for the members' horses. The track
will be kept in first-class order, and induce
ments will be held out to bicycle clubs and
other clubs of the kind to make Pimlico their
headquarters.
The new association also proposes to buy out
the Pimlico and Arlington horse car railway,
and to double the track and improve the same.
Il possible it will also build an electric road
throuch Druid Hill Park, to run directly from
the city to the track. Pimlico avenue will also
be improved and repaired, and everything rtm
to revive the fame of the Pimlico race course.
The Maryland Jockey Club still holds it6 Hen
on the club house besides the Exposition build
ing, but it expires about the first of next year,
and the association will then secure that build
ing. The members of tbe old jockey club show
a friendly feeling toward this new and vigorous
association, and several have already joined it.
It is thought that most of the others will
shortly follow. Some of the most energetic
and shrewdest business men of the State be
long to tbe association, and it promises to be a
great and succetsful enterprise.

THE BOAT RACE DECISION.
Some Flnln Bcnsona Why the Unco Should
bo Rowed Over- Hamm's Illegal
Action on tho Coarse Re
marks About Carpers.
Probably one ot the roost unsatisfactory
sporting events that has taken place in this
locality for a very long time is the Teemer
Oaudaur boat race. The event was one of the
leading affairs of the week, and -directly con
cerns my6elf, inasmuch as I was called upon to
perform a duty that was as distasteful as it
Mas thankless. It was one of tho most un
fortunate events that I have been interested
in, and doubtless it' will have a very dampen
ing effect on profcssidnal boat rowing in
this locality. It will have this effect because
many people will not for one moment stop to
argue conscientiously all the features and
outs and inns of tho question. Of course I
am well awaro that numerous people are of
opinion that on Friday Teenier was beaten by a
better man than himself. Granting this, how
ever, does not at all affect tho reasons for the
decision that the race be rowed over. Like
other events of tho kinds the race was nnder a
very rigid and clear code of rules. Tho Tcemer
party claimed that these rules had been vio
lated, and unred that Gaudaur"s arrival first at
tho winning end was the result of a violation
of the rules under which the race was being
rowed. This claim or objection narrowed the
matter down, not to a question of merit, but to
a question of whether or not Teenier had been
interfered with or that Gaudaur had received
an undao advantage In any way. Teemer Sat
urday afternoon claimed that Hamm. Gau
daur's trainer, had interfered with him: in
fact, had broken his boat; and ho further
claimed that Hamm was on the course for the
purpose of coaching Gaudaur. In a word, tbe
first objection was overruled at once, because,
as referee, I absolutely failed to see at any
time where Hamm's boat interfered with
Teemer's. The second objection, nowever, was
stronger, and had sufficient force to warrant
the decision made. After tie race I asked
Hamm pointedly at McKeesport what he was
doing on the course. Hero's what he said: "I
was there to protect Gaudaur and keep him
from striking any snags." This admission,
which was heard by everybody in the room,
meant that he was absolutely violating a rule
and one of the most prominent. Here is the
rule. It is rule 10 of the code under which the
race was rowed: "No boat shall be allowed to
accompany a competitor for the purpose of
directing his course or affording him other
assistance. The boat receiving such direction
or assistance shall be disqualified at the discre
tion of tbe umpire."
Hamm's Admission.
Now I fail to see how any man who can read
or understand English can fail to perceive how
Hamm's admission and the rule can be recon
ciled. If guiding a man clear of snags is not
assisting him or piloting him, I fail entirely to
understand tbe English language. St. John,
who Is undoubtedly one of tbo most bonorable
and clear-headed gentlemen that I havo known
In boat-rowing affairs, argued that though
Hamm was on the river for that purpose, he
did not carry out bis intention. This, in my way
of thinking, is not a sufficient answer. Hamm
says he was there tor that purpose, and be was
uncomfortably near tbe rowers, and when lie
went out to perform the mission, which he ad
mits, ho could do it in a hundred
ways not .discernible to the uninitiated.
I was one of the latter. At any rate, I fail to
see why Hamm bad any reason, outside of car
rying out bis acknowledged intentions, to be
rowing from side to side ahead of the rowers
and within a very short distance of them.
Briefly, that is one reason for the decision. An
other is that every steamer accompanying the
race, except the referee's boat, was ahead of
Teemer long before the race was finished. I
submit that was an interference. The disgrace
ful conduct of tbe McDowell and the Dauntless
not only interfered with tbe sternmost wan,
but shut out the referee from the race for a
considerable distance. Both men bave a right
to protection as far as the application ot tbe
lulcs are concerned, and at all hazards the
rules were applied irrespective of the merits of
the men. Rules are rules with me on all oc
casions, and Hamm has only himself to blame
for the very unfortunate termination of the
race. On manv occasions Mr. St. John has
urged that nobody should be on the course but
the rowers, and if Hamin was not on the water
and in close company with the rowers, in the
interests of bis charge, Gaudaur, I fail to see1
why he was there at all.
The Little Kickers.
It is amusing to find in events of this kind tho
various kind of kickers. After tbe decision
was made I met a gentleman who was
awfully wild and making considerable noiso
about the honesty ot sports. He very emphat
ically stated that the affair would ruin rowing
here and intimated that the decision was worse
than "rotten." I discovered that our friend
had been betting on the race and had backed
Gaudaur. But the same gentleman a few days
previously had stated that the whole "business
was fixed," and accordingly he was betting be
cause of "information received." As a rule I
have found that these tremendous kickers,
who claim to havo the dignity and honesty of
any particular sport at heart, are people wlo
never hesitate to participate in all tbe "fixed"
affairs that they connect themselves with. I
bave done with the race and I only regret that
Mr. St, John did not resolve to row the race
asrain on a course where he could rely on all
the fairness and protection necessary. I am
quite aware that the decision will be
assailed by many who have not the
remotest idea ot boat racing rules, and
whb know as much about a boat race as an
elephantknows about hornpipe dancing. Others
will assail it because of feelings of envy, com
bincd with the hope of throwing discredit on
myself and the work in which I am encased.
Certainly, I anticipate much persohal abuse
from carpers who have no knowledge of the
fact of the case. The intelligent public, how
ever, will distinguish between abuse and argu
ment. I firmly believe that my decision was
right, and that it protected tho public, and I
am happy to say that such prominent and trust
worthy authorities as H. M. Long, Attorney
Frank Guffy, John Staley, John Newell, James
Taylor in short, all the leading local authori
ties indorse my view of tbe matter. In all earn
estness I say that I would make the same de
cision to-morrow under the same circum
stances. Above all, none of us should forsct
that in matters of this kind the public is to be
Frotected. I would like to ask those carpers if
had ignored tbe rules and the case had gone
to court, would they have paid my costs in a
losing case Pkinqle.
TflE GRAND CIRCUIT.
Fleetwood Pnrk Crowded With Trotters for
tbo Opcnine Tucsdnx.
rSrECTAI. TELEGRAM TG TUB DISPATCH.I
New Yoek, September 15 Fleetwood Park
has suddenly taken on new life by the advent
of the flyers that are to participate in the sec
ond Grand Circuit meeting bold there, and for
the past two or three days the trotters and pa
cers have been coming in from various points.
This morning saw an unusually large number
of visitors at the track, while the members
mustered in full force to see the campaigners
take their morning exercise. Budd Doble's
stable is a large one. and it kept the celebrated
Chicago whip and his nsMstant, George Starr
both busy to keep their charges in motion!
Doble appeared first behind the bay celd

trotted but few races owing to lameness be
hind. He seenffed in good condition to-day,
and alter being warmed up went a mile in 2:2s
througli the heavv footing.
James H. Goldsmith's string attracted con
siderable attention, especially the fleet black
gelding Gean Smith, who has only been beaten
once this year. His owners, Messrs. Cook and
Craig, of Texas, who were present, stated that
tho flyer will go to Boston and trot in the spe
cial race atBeacon Park Tuesday against Harrv
Wilkes and Susie S. '
As there Is no free-for-all at tbe Fleetwood
meeting Gean Smith had no engagement, but a
special purse of $3,000 has boen offered by the
club for him and Harry Wilkes, and the fa
mous pair will trot on Friday. Goldsmith also
drove Company, tho Kentucky prince geldin
who has not started this season, but will proba

GET OUT OP PAYING HER WAGES.
The Alleged Assassin Arrested al the Grave
of His Victim.
HE IS STILL COOL AND CONFIDENT,
And in Conversation With Iter Father, Strongly
Denied the Crime.
Chaukley Le Coney, living near Camden,
K. J., is charged with murdering his niece
in order to avoid paying money due her.
An effort was made to fasten the crime on
other parties. The accused was arrested at
Waverley, O., while attending his alleged
victim's funeral,
Philadelphia, September 15. Start
ling developments were made yesterday in
the case of the murder of Annie LeConey,
who was found in her uncle's dining room
at Merchantviile, last week. To Clerk Ed
ward Burroughs is due the credit of first
discovering the clew which the detectives
have followed until it, led them to arrest
Chaukley LeConey, with whom the mur
dered girl lived as housekeeper.
Garrett W. Murray, the 19-year-old col
ored laborer who was in the field with
Chaukley LeConey, was arrested .Friday
night. It was charged that Murray re
ceived part of the money taken from ' the
dead girl's chest by her uncle, to conceal the
bloody cjothing, which have been found.
PERSISTENT. QUESTIONS.
Burroughs was foreman of the Coroner's
jury and irritated Chaukley Le Coney by in
sisting on learning the money relations ex
isting between the dead uncle, Bichard Le
Coney, and Annie LeConey. His questions
revealed the fact that some thousands of
dollars were due from the estate to the mur
dered girl for wages as housekeeper.
Chaukley Le Coney grew pale as Ed
ward Burroughs pressed his questions, and
stepping out of the room, he called Samuel
Bnnoughs to him, aud, in evident anger,
said:
"What does Ed mean by these insulting
questions?"
Burroughs looked him in the face and
said solemnly, "Chaukley, you are suspected
of murdering your niece."
Cbaukley lelt B.urroughs and dropped the
question. It was Prosecutor Jenkins idea
not to state publicly any suspicion ot
Cbaukley Le Coney's guilt, but all the time
he was kept under strict surveillance.
Chaukley wanted to accompany the body
of his murdered niece to her father's
home near Chillicothe, O., and for that rea
son his arrest was yesterday ordered.
IMPORTANT STATEMENTS.
Murray has made many important state
ments. Yesterday, Mr. Jenkins turned
Murray over to Detective "Warner, who took
him to John Cherry's, near by, for dinner.
Cherry had already started the theory that
tbe poor girl was killed because she claimed
a large sum as wages. Warner fed Murray
lavishly and secured an admission from him
that the clothing stained with blood was
hidden by him at the request of Le Coney.
When Wagner was done with the negro
the latter was sent to an obscure cell. Ihe
theory of tbe State is that Chaukley Le
Coney killed his niece to save money to
himself and other heirs of Richard Le Coney,
whose estate was about to be settled. It "is
believed that the dead girl's clothes were
afterward arranged so.as to give the im
pression that some outrageous hand had
murdered the girl in an attempt on her
honor. .
AEBESTED IN OHIO.
Chaukley Le Coney is behind the bars to
night charged with the brutal murder of
his niece. Annie E. Xe Coney, near Camden,
N. J., last Monday morning. Marshal
Donovan received the following dispatch:
Philadelphia, September 11
Please arrest and bold Chaukley Le Coney,
charged with murdering his niece, Annie Le
Coney. He left here yesterdav with her re
mains for her lather's, James Le Coney, at
Waverly. Don't let him escape.
Wilson JI. Jenkins,
District Attorney, Camden, N. J.
Immediately on the receipt of this tele
gram the arrest was made by Officers Dono
van and Schwartz. The prisoner when ar
rested seemed very cool, and simply re
marked that he had not been in town long
enough to do anything when placed be
hind the bars, and when the telegram
was read to him he turned to his
brother, James Le Coney, who had ac
companied him to the jail, and said:
"Oh, pshaw, I wasn't in the house at all,"
and then, continued: "I suppose I will have
to stay in this jug all night."
He said that he would get even with Dis
trict Attorney Jenkins. His brother, the
father of the murdered girl, is a firm be
liever in his innocence, and denounced his
arrest as a shameful outrage.

Fears of a Bloody Race War
in Two Ala-

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.I
Birmingham, Ala., September 15.
Serious race troubles are expected in Sumter
and Choctaw counties, Ala. In those counties
the negroes outnumber the whites almost
ten to one. The recent race trqubles in
Mississippi caused the negroes iu the coun
ties mentioned to commence buying fire
arms, and when they were well armed they
began to hold secret meetings. Within the
last few days the whites have become greatly
alarmed at the threatening actions of the
neeroes, and they are buying Winchester
rides in large numbers.
All the gun stores at Livingston, Ala.,
and Meridian, Miss., have been cleaned out
by the whites, and a number of Winchester
rifles have been telegraphed for and will be
shipped by express. The' planters living
near large negro settlements are removing
their families to the towns. No conflict has
yet occurred, and a few of the cool-headed
whites say the alarm is .groundless, still
there is an uneasy feeling prevailing.

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBI DISPATCR.1
New Yoke, September 15. In one of
the cells in the Forty-seventh street police
station there was to-day a young woman of
plump face, Well-rounded figure and black
hair and eyes. She is the originator of an
ingenius device for lightening other per
sons' pockets, which has not only the merit
of novelty, but has also met with success.
On July 6 the prisoner called at the house
of Charles McKamee, a fireman at 436 West
Forty-second street, and said her name was
Miss Kate Seeley, and that sho had been
recommended to see Mrs. McKamee about a
matter of business.
Just as tbe fair visitor was expected to
state the nature of the business she fell off
her chair and rolled around the floor, ap
parently) in great pain. She pressed her
hands against her stomach and doubled up
in seeming agony, while her features were
distorted, and her bonnet and hair were all
awry. Mrs. McNamee was greatly alarmed
and wanted to send for a doctor," but the
young woman said that she was somewhat
relieved, and didn't think a doctor at all
necessary.
"It's a cramrj," she said. "I have them
often. Tbe only cure for it is to lie down.
If I were at home I should go to bed and
then I would be all right pretty soon." '
Mrs. McKamee offered the sick woman
the use of a spare room, and the offer was at
once accepted. Miss Seeley got into bed
and Mrs. McNamee acted the part of nnrseA
Miss Seeley went apparently to sleep and
slept so soundly that Mr&. McNamee didn't
feel like waking her as night came on,
and finally concluded to permit her
to remain over night. In the morning Mrs.
McNamee found that not only had the room
she had opcupied been ransacked and tbe
objects strewn around the floor, but the fair
thief had devoted attention to nearly every
other room in the bouse. She took, among
other things, a diamond ring belonging to
Mr. McNamee valued at $40. The case was
reported to the police, and meantime com
plaints of a like nature came pouring in,
until there were some two score persons
waiting to near from Miss seeley.
QUITE A ROMANCE.
A Russian Drnsoon Arrested In New York
Cbamed With Stealing a Lady's
Pocketbook His Denial nnd
Romnntlc Story.
ISPECTAL TELEGRAM TO TBI DISPATCH
New Yoek, September 15. Stanislas
Bartkiewitch, formerly a Lieutenant in the
Fifth Dragoon Guards of the Bassian army,
and later an instructor of languages at
Paris, is lying in the Tombs, ac
cused of highway robbery in hav
ing seized a pocketbook on September
30 from the hands of Miss Annie Brown,
principal of a fashionable school for girls
in Fifth avenne. Miss Brown was standing
at the time in the main hall of the Equi
table building, having Just come from the
banking office of August Belmont.
Miss Brown's pocketbook contained H in
money. Lieutenant Bartkiewitch had $17
and a gold watch. No pocketbook was
foundon him, or in fact, any other proof of
tne crime, oiui, someooay seized mm, and
when he was taken before" Miss Brown, in
Belmont's office, she identified him at once
as the man who had grabbed her $4. -Bartkiewitch's
voice shook with emotion
this alternoon as he told a Dispatch re
porter his story, sneaking both French and
English. Pressed for his reason for coming
to America, the Russian looked down for an
instant, then raising his eyes manfully, he
said, simplv:
I met a countrywoman of yonrs in Paris, a
sweet American girl, and we are engazed to be
married. It was rn see her that I came to this
country. Inad S300-andl00 Russian roubles.
I went to Boston becanse my fiancee lives near
that city, though I cannot bring myself to tell
you her name. Finally I came to Mow York
because of a dispatch from Cracow which ar
rived at Rutland Square, saying a letter with
money had been sent to me to New York. I
bad been to the postoffice after my letter, and
finding; nothing, was told that the New York
branch of Kidder, Peabody & Co., of Boston,
was in the Equitable building. While
standing in tbe hall a moment Somebody
jostled against me violently and threw me
against another man, who seized and held mc
I was then taken before Mis3 Brown as the
man who had assaulted her. She was told to
identify me. and .she said I was Iier assailant.
None of the Russian Guard think that he had
anything to do with the case.
THE CORPSE REFUSED TO TARRY.
Tired of Walling for the Coroner, He Arose
nnd Ran Away.
Baxtimobe, September 15. A tele
phone message reached the Central station
last night conveying tbe information that a
man had been killed in the Baltimore and
Potomac tunnel, and requesting the pres
ence of a coroner at Union station,
whence the body had been taken.
The corpse was covered with mud
and dirt, and was stiff and rigid
as dead men usually are. About half
dozen men congregated about the bench on
which the body had been dumped and be
gan discussing the probable action of tbe
Coroner's jury. Police Sergeant Schnltz
was becoming impatient over tne non-arrival
of the Coroner, and walked to the door
to see whether he was coming. The Ser
geant was absent but a few minutes, and
when he returned the bench was vacant and
only one of the half-dozen talkers, a coal
black darky, remaining.
"What did you do with the corpse? don't
you know tbe Coroner has not been here?"
askea tne angry omcer. witn a smiie
spreading from ear to ear, the negro pointed
to the retreating figure of a man who was
hastening out of the place.
"Dar goes your cawpse; he got up and sed
he wus tired of laying down." Away went
the Sergeant after his subject, but the'latter,
seeing him coming, made haste to escape.
Finally the policeman reached him and in
sisted on his returning until the Coroner
should arrive, but the man refused in the
most positive manner to let a Coroner go to
work on him. 'He was a lire man, and
therefore not under that official's jurisdic
tion. The Sergeant came to the same con
clusion and let the corpse depart.
It was afterward ascertained that the
man's name is James Lacey, and that he is
an employe of the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad Company. He fell from a freight
train in its passage through the tunnel and
lost consciousness for almost an hour. He
had been temporarily paralyzed by the
shock.

Wheeling, September 15. The fifth
annual reunion of Manlsby's' famous bat
tery was held at Palatine, near Fairmont,
yesterday. An immense crowd was present.
The principal speaker was Hon. John W.
Mason, of Washington, Commissioner of In
ternal Bevenne, a member of the society.
Mr. Mason, who is personally very close to
President Harrison, confined his remarks
chiefly to the pension question, arguing in
favor of more liberal laws in this regard.
He declared himself in iavor 'of a service
pension for every honorably discharged
soldier. Xn concluding. he said:
We are told a pension and retired list udoiI so
large a scale would bankrupt the country, and
that the country musf of necessity wait until'
some of its creditors die and discharge the
obligation before an attempt is made onsu
large a scale. Lot ns see how this la. It is esti
mated that, something: over 000,000 soldiers
were enlisted, that more tban a million are
dead, leaving about 800,000 honorably dis
charged soldiers yef.allve. Of this number
323,020 were on the pension list at tbe close ot
tbe fiscal year ending June SO, 1883, and the en
tire pension roll for that year, including wid
ows, children and tbe pensioners Of tbe War of
laizana tne Mexican-war, amounted to J78,
775.811. It is estimated that the dependent
pension bill would addabont 5,000.000 to the
fiension list, which would make the total list a
ittle less tban ISl,00O.O0Q.
But supposing it to be $100,000,000, the 5100,
000,000 would pay all tbe pensions proper and
there would be on the retired list only inch
soldiers as were more tban 60 years old and not
on tbe regular pension list, which wonld make
tbe retired list comparatively small. With
immense and increasing revenue of this coun
try, tbese sums could bo met without imposing
upon the people Any onerous burden of taxa
tion. It will be remembered that tbe Govern
ment has a daily income of more than a million
dollars, including Sunday. This sum is paid
largely by importers, distillers and brewer;.
Tbe money would be paid out in small sums to
more than half a million people scattered all
over tbe county. It would not go into banks,
syndicates and trusts to be manipulated to the
detriment of the business interests of tbe
country, but would pass into tbo proper chan
nels of trade in every part of the U nion. With
such a sum going quarter v into every section
of the country, we should bave no Wall street
comers, no financial panics, no "black Fri
days. GEN. YOUNG'S VIEWS.
Tanner's Resignation Is BecomloK a Factor
In Ohio Politics Veterans Generally Are
Indignant.
General Charles L. Young, of Ohio, a di
rector of the 'Gettysburg Battlefield Monu
mental Association and Past National Senior
Vice Commander of the G. A. B., arrived
in Pittsburg last night, via Washington,
over the B. & O. He said he saw General
Geo. S. Merrill, of Massachusetts; Chas. H.
Grosvenor, of Ohio, and many others at
Washington, and the absorbing topic there,
as at Gettysburg, appeared to be Tanner's
removal.
General Barnum, of New York, about
expressed the feeling of tho
soldiers generally at Gettysburg, saying
he felt deeply sorry the resignation had
been made, it was General Barnum who
formulated the resolution finally adopted in
a modified form at the Milwaukee National
Encampment, indorsing Tanner.
"The comrades generally," said General
Young, "seem to think the action removing
Tanner indicates a change of policy on the
part of the administration regarding the
pension question. As there are 800,000 pen
sioners in tbe United States, it would not
take a very large percentage of these to
raise a howl when their direst interests' are
thought to be menaced in pension matters.
"It is to be hoped there will no step back
ward in the liberal pension poller promised
specially by the party in power. Tanner
has a very wide constituency, and this alone
has gained him sharp rivalry within the
partv lines. Aa there are no formulated
charges against Tanner, and the Govern
ment is apparently willing to give him an
other position, it look very much as if
Tanner was being sacrificed to satisfy bis
opponents, v,0fjcourse,., , Tanner , is not a
John Sherman or a James G. Blaine intel
lectually, but there is no hustler on the
stump in this, country who has such power
with the great .ciass of the veteran vote.
The Democratic soldier vote of Indiana .and
Brooklyn was jtbe principal element that
elected Harrison. I have heard some men
named as Tanner's successor, and I am sur
prised that such men as General George S.
Merrill or Warner would think of accept
ing the Commissionership."
Speaking of Ohio politics, the General
looked forward to a lively time in the Buck
eye State, but there again the Tanner ques
tion crops up. On account of the heavv
soldier vote of Ohio, which will be largely
influenced by the outcome of the Pension
Commissionership, Jt will reqnire careful
manipnlation by (be Republicans to hold
their "own. If Tanner is cared for and suc
ceeded by an able and liberal comrade, tbe
suspicion ot retrenchment in the pension
office may be allayed. The Senatorial ques
tion. General Young thought, would over
shadow the Gubernatorial. It will be a
hard fight with such men as the Paynes,
father and son. Colonel Brice and Charles
Foster in, which means plenty of resources
and a very large jvote. There are no dis
turbing elements in the German vote this
year, which is generally solidly Bepubli
can. ' GENERAL LAPAILTTE'S CARRIAGE
The Only Feature of the St. Joseph Expo
sition Saved-From tho Flames.
St. Joseph, Mo., September 15. The
St. Joseph Exposition met with a great dis
aster to-night. The crowd to-day and to
night was far greater than at any time since
the opening. About 1020 o'clock this
evening, just as tbe entertainment in the
great amphitheater had, closed, a fire broke
out in the main hall, a magnificent build
ing 1,100 feet in length and filled with all
manner of exhibits. The entire building
and contents were consumed, in spite of the
most heroic efforts on the part of the fire de
partment. It is understood that.nothing was saved
but the carriage which was built to convey
General Lafayette during his visit to this
country in 1842. The Exposition
grounds are located two miles from
the city, and at this hour
details of the fire have not been received.
The origin of the.fire is said to come from
the electric lights. The Exposition will
continue, but will be shorn ot its vast ex
hibits in the main hall. The loss must ex
ceed S2jO,000.

Tho O. A. E. Leader la Conference ,W!t!i
Secretary Noble.
Washhtgtok, September 15. This
morning ex-Congressman Warner received
a number of G. A. B. comrades, who called
to talk about the offer of the Pension Com
missionership, which he has nnder consider
ation. To them he said he had not yet mada
up his mind on the matter.
After dinner he went out to the residence
of Secretary-Noble, and, up to a late hour
to-night, neither has been accessible for aa
interview. ,
The belief is prevalent in all cireks to
night that Major Warner has practically de-
cided to accept the position.
- U,
Catarrh
ion Diooa disease, until tne ncnfcon m ::- ?
expelled from, the system, therejsiaf,
be no cure for this loathsome aad .-
dangerous malady. Therefore, tho only
effective treatment is a thorough course
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla the best of all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begta
the better ; delay is dangerous.
"I was-tronbled with catarrh far over
two years. I tried various resaedies,
and was treated by a number of physi
cians, bat received no benefit BBtil I
began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla- A
few bottles of this medicine cured me of r
tnis troublesome complaint and com
pletely restored my health." Jesse 3C
Boggs,Holman'3 Mills, N.C.
"When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rec
ommended to me for catarrh, I was In- ,
clinedto donbt its efficacy. Having
tried so many remedies, with little ben- 4
eflt, I had no faith that anything wonld' '
cure me. I became emaciated from loss
of appetite and impaired digestion. I
had nearly lost the sense of smell, and
my system was badly deranged. I was
abont discouraged, when a friend urged
me to try 'Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and re
ferred me to persons whom it had cured
of catarrh. After taking half a dozen
bcttles of this medicine, I am convinced
that the only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease is through the -blood." -..
