'JVM FAKRLL'S OFFER TO OPHA5I "Congressman O'Neill talks very plainly about the new baseball League. He con demns the Brotherhood for refusing to ad mit St. Louis, and states that a Brotherhood club in Pittsburg will be a failure. Fred Carroll writes an important letter to Presi dent Nimick. Fat Farrell makes an offer te fight Arthur TJpham. SriCIAL ZeXZOBAX TO THE EIBrATCHl Washington, December 22. Ex-Congressman O'Neill, the St. Louis Browns genial counsel, is back here, and from the way he speaks of his reception at the recent Brotherhood meeting, it was anything but satisfactory. He is very much disappointed in the action of the Brotherhood in not taking the St Louis and Columbus clubs into the fold. These cities, ha claims, are both great baseball towns. He predicts that both Buffalo and Pittsburg clubs will be failures as far as the Brotherhood goes. If it comes to the extreme, the Association will organize a six-club circuit. He greatly favors placing an Association team here, as he says this is a 25-cent city. A 1SEOTHERHOOD SBBOB. jRegarding the Brotherhood saying that the laboring element are with them, it is all bosh Id his opinion. Sunday baseball in the West is, and always will be, largely attended by those who are compelled to work throughout the week. As to Comiskey signing with Chicago, be is non-committal. There are Tory lew play ers in town, in fact. All quiet on the Potomac. The Congressman said: "Most assuredly the Association will surmount its present diffi culties. Many people are undoubtedly trying to kill it, but their efforts will not only fail but will recoil on themselves. I mean exactly what I-say when I say that the Brotherhood clnbs in Buffalo and Pittsburg will be failures. There is not money enough behind either of these ' clubs to keep good players and carry a team through a losing season, for next season will certainly be a losing one to both Brotherhood and League. This is just as sure as we live. I am not making these statements without authority, because I know there has been some very tall hustling In both the cities named to raise H,Upr JiOOO. IX)TS OF MONET -WASTED. Many assessments will be made before the first season ends, and these new baseball capi talists will think baseball a very un satisfactory business before they are through with it St. Louis wonld certainly have been a first-class city for the Brotherhood because there wonla be only one clan there. It Uonlynonscrsi and claptrap trying to, under false" pretenses, nlist the sympathies of the laboring classes into the Brotherhood scheme. It is just as purely a capitalistic scheme as any baseball organization I know of " "The officials ot the Washington National Ijeagne club still declare tha the club will not be dropped from the League. There is great doubt aboul Baltimore, and some people say that thcre.hu "been no definite deal between the Baltinioro and Washington clubs. JACK EOWE'S HOROSCOPE For the Buffalo Players' League Clnb Shows Vp Very Welt ISrXCUX. TZXXOBAX TO THE CXSrjLTClt.1 BrFrAiO, N. Y., December 22. The mana gers of the Buffalo Players' club are going ahead in earnest with their preparations for makinjr-.baseball lively in this town next sea son, and yesterday took their first official step, when the certificate of Incorporation of the Buffalo Baseball Club was filed. The capital stock is CO, 000 in shares of $100 each andthe club is to exist 60 years. The incorporators are ex Sheriff Gilbert Clerk Shire, of the Superior Court; Charles R. Fitzgerald. Jack Rowe and Deacon -Jim" White. Jack Rowe said yesterday that the prospects of a successful season were very bright in Buffalo, and he believed the League would t revolutionize the baseball business by making it more popular and avoiding many of the mis takes of the old magnates in their treatment of vlajers. Mr. Bowe expects that 25-cent ad missions will be allowed for Buffalo; but that will not be determined until the March sched ule meeting. Buffalo is a great 25-cent city. Wilmot's desertion of the Players' League has canted some comment here, for he was wanted by the Buffalo clnb. Kowe does not believe bis statement that he wrote three times to President Ward for advance money without receiving a reply, for Ward would have noti fied Kowe. who would have gladly advanced the money. "It is a very lame excuse any way." said the Buffalo man. The Buffalo club has signed 13 men. Includ ing White and Bowe, who will do much to im prove the work of the ex-Senators from Wash ington. The slayers and probable positions are as follows: Pitchers. Alexander Feroon, of Manchester, Jf. H.: Georjre Kceie. or Washington: George Ud doebf Dorchester, ilisv, and (Jus Krocfc. of Chicago. Catchers, Owen Clark, of Brooklyn, and Connie Mack, of Spencer, Mass. Basemen First, J. J. Carney, of Salem, Sls.; second, Sam TVlsCj-of Utica: third. Deacon White. Fielders. IV. H. Hoy. ofFlndlay. O.: Jd Beecber, of Bart ford and Junes Irwin, of Boston. The shortstop will be Jack Kowe, QUITE DESPONDENT. Brotherhood Leaders DUconraced by Mike Tternan's Desertion. John Ward. Al Johnson, Ed Hanlonand other of the Players' League in this city were quite despondent over Mike Tiernan's action In signing with the New York League Club. They all claimed that Tiernan eiredwhenhe stated that the Players' League wanted him to sign for 500 less than be received last year. It was just the opposite, so it is stated. He re ceived $2,500 from the New York club, and it Is quite likely that be would have been paid iaooOby the riayers League. But he asked for 13,800,' and that was an amount which the mag nates thought they conldn't stand. Tm sorry that Tiernan has left us," said Tim Keeie to a Sun reporter last night -He is a nice Tellow and a good player, bnt he doesn't state -the truth when he says the Players' League offered bim $500 less than his salary last year. He was too exorbitant in his de mands, and the League couldn't sexheir way clear to meet tbem. The fact is, the players whoare demanding such enormous salanes are simply takins advantage of the differences be tween the National League and the Players' League." A". Y. Sun. OaEROLIj WILL WAIT AWHILE, He Will Come East Before He glens Any Contract. Fred Carroll means to be careful before ap pending his name to any contract President Nitnlck received a letter from him on Satur day In which he says: "It Is difficult to get any definite information bore as to the sitnation. I win, therefore do nothing until I come East which: will be shortly after the holidays. When I meet you we will talk business." This would indicate that Carroll is taking a reasonable and cautious view of the situation, and it rurtlier means that alt rumors about his having sicned a new League contract are very questionable It further proves false all stones bont!tne local, club sending a man to San Francisco to sign him. ,,- Bnneball on Christmas Dny. The unusually iinc weather at tils time ot year .has induced efforts to be made to have a basetfill game at Recreation Park on Christ raas'ljjay.

PHttADKLPHiA, December 22. The baseball worldlt very quiet Sere, Everybody is await ing developments. The American Association will? pull through all right notwithstanding the prescat'dark-" aspect," - said-fl."C, Penny. packer, of tho Athletic Club, to-day. "Wearo notes sleepy at we loot, and X think yon will hear some good news from us within a week. Mr. Whlttaker is off on another of his Hustling trips, and when he returns be will be ready to talk. Take my word for it, thero will be eight clubs in the American Association next year. We hare no intention of allowing the name to be lost or losing oar place in the National Agreement. The present mixed state of affairs in the baseball world cannot last more than one year at most, and when it does rnn clear it will bo all the better for the peoplo who are still in-tho business." BEIGHTEB DAIS AHEAD. Some Prospects of ibe American Associa tion's Resuming Business. rsrECtAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 PHiLAKLPniA. December22. Brighter pros pects are dawning for the American Associa tion. There is no doubt now that an effort will be made to reorganize the circuit, and there may possibly be eight clnbs. Rochester has been admitted, and there are now five clubs. There is no truth in the report that Co lumbus has joined the International Association and that St. Louis has applied for admission to the Western Association. The American Association will probably bold a meeting on the second Monday In January, by which time more will be Known about its prospective cir cuit The managers of the Athletic clnb an nounce that they have no intention of joining the Atlantic Association. Secretary Whlttaker, of the Athletic club. Is chairman of the Amer ican Association Circuit Committee, and be favors a 12-club circuit. "I believe it possible to form a 12-club clr-. cult," said Mr. Whlttaker. "For Eatorn cities we have Boston, Lowell, Hartford. New Haven. Worcester, Providence, Troy. Albany, Brooklyn, Newark, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington to choose from, while in the West Sr. Lodis, Chicago, Louisville, Indian apolis, Columbus, Detroit, Toledo and Mil waukee are available. The Bos ton League club has alreadv consented to placing an American Association team in the field, the intention being to play it on the same grounds with theVLeagne club, having the schedule so arranged that there will be no conflicting dates. A similar arrangement may also be made at Brooklyn and Cbicaffe, al though we are not counting on them with any degree of certaiuty." Mr. Whlttaker Includes Washington and Indianapolis in bis proposed circuit, because. in his opinion, these two cities will be dropped by the National League at its meeting next month. Toledo and Detroit are both willing to accept franchises, if they are offered. EOCHESTER IS IT. A Team There to be One of Ton Der Abe's CoIIcnsnes. rerxcTJii. teleohax to the nrspjLTCTt-t Rochester, N. Y December 22. It has just leaked out to-night that Von der Abe and two other baseball magnates were in the city two days of last week. They put up at a prom inent hotel, bnt did not register. They came hero at 'the solicitation of General Henry Brinker, a baseball enthusiast and a director in last year's local association. Several secret conferences were held, so it is learned, and General Bnnker. who is worth $300,000 and over, practically decided to buy individually the Rochester franchise, and enter Von der Ahe's league, retaining Manager Pat Powers, and giving the latter authority to hire his own plavers. General Brinker Is one of the most prominent men in the city, and able to buy a half dozen clubs, if he felt so disposed. A BASEBALL SENSATION. Manager Mntrle is Said to Have Signed With the Players' League. New Yoke, December 22. A document was exhibited by the Players' Brotherhood men to night, signed by James Mntrle, ,and consisting of an agreement to quit Day and manage the New York Players' club for 1890 at a salary of 5,000. The'names of E. F. Bell. George F. Gore and Nick Engel are appended as wit nesses. As the agreement purports to be signed to day it is probably illegal, even if genuine. It has caused a sensation among baseball men, nevertheless. T0-DAPS EACE. Some Interesting Pointers Abo it the Con dition ot the Contestants. Considerable interest is centered in the big 72-hbur race which starts to-day in the London Theater at 12 o'clock. All the arrangements have been completed except the swearing in of the score keepers. The contestants are all in the city and party feeling is running very high among tbem. Several of them met in the theate" yesterday and some very warm exchanges of opinion took place. Already some private speculation has taken 5 lace on the event and Herty. Hegelman and foremac seem to equally divide first honors as far as being favorites Is concerned. Connors, Golden and Day come next Aout 13 men will start, and it is safe to say that the contest will be a severe ono. Principally there ae three parties, vizw tha Hegelman party, the Nore mac party and the Day party. Noremac and Herty have no strong feelings between them, but a local business man is backing Noremac against Day. Golden, of course, is another bit ter opponent of the Noremac people. During a conversation last evening Golden said: "After I ran so well at Lewiston I resofved to come here. I may not be able to win, bnt I feel confident that 1 won't be shutout Certainly the best 12-honrs a day men in the country are here, and the track is a hard one to run on. Noremac and Day ought to be in better condi tion than tho balance of us, because we have been in some severe races lately. However, we'll know more about it next Friday or Satur day. Most certainly the man who wins will have earned his $450." Golden is seven pounds lighter than when he was here last The Woods' Rnn people behind Day state that be was never in better condition since be came to this country than he is at present bach contestant has engaged his at tendant and they are all ready for the word. FAEEELL AND TJPHAM. The Eastern Man Demnnds Unfair Condi tions for a Fight. John Quinn,the well-known local sporting man,4 returned from the East on Saturday, and will return toPhiladelphla to-day to attend the race between McCIellandand Miller to-morrow. Mr. Quinn is backing McClelland and thinks be will defeat Miller. Speaking of the pro posed battle between Pat Farrell, of this city, and Arthur TJpham. he said that TJpham's de mands are unreasonable. TJpham wants to fight Farrell atlSSpoundB within four weeks. It is almost impossible for Farrell to get to that weight in the time speci fied. Farrell is willing to fight TJpham at 161 pounds in nine Weeks from signing articles for f,000 a side. This offer is a fair one. consider ing that Farrell is considerably overweight now. It seems, however, that TJpham is not anxious for a fair battle. It is likely that Far rell will soon go West if he cannot secure a satisfactory match In the Bast Mr. Quinn. speaking of the winter running races, said that the Eastern meetings are a great success. He backed Amos for a place the other day when that horse started with 50 to I against. Mr. Q ilnn has done well on the runners, and his luck has continned for a long time. He xas won a large amount of money. PDGILIST WAEEEN AKEESTED. The Alleged Feather-Weight Champion Strikes a Woman at 'Frisco. Bait Fbascisco, December ,22.

When apprised of the facts. Church's rage knew no bounds. Church is serving three months for beating a man whom he alleged insulted his wife. Jack Dempsey is after LaBIancbc's scalp harder than ever, and last nicht. after the Marine's decision in the Griffln-Mulholland contest at the Golden Gate Club, he insulted LaBlanche before a large body of clnb men, among other things remarking that the de cision, like himself (the Marine), was no good.

If Christmas be fair, the people of Washington who are fond of such sport will enjoy a great treat in a foot ball contest here. The famous Naval Academy team will be here to contest against1 a plcxed team of prominent players. Tbts visit of the cadets will eclipse the one of the Princeton College, as the cadets ara better known here abouts, andthe large contingent of naval and army pebpfe wjll give tone to the affair. This Naval Academy team is a goed ope, as is shown by their victories over the ramous'one from the University of Virginia, and will give a splendid exhibition of the game that has taken such a bold on society people. . , Captain Catlln, the head of the team, is re garded as the finest athlete that has ever en tered the Naval Academy, a reputation he has maintained while handling the football eleven. Secretary Tracy, Admiral Harmony and neatly all the leading naval people will be in the Capi tol Paik Christmas Day to see how the future officers of the navy can play football, while it is expected that many of the ultra-fashionable people will also be there. The team that will play against them will be selected from such as Cash, of the Princeton: Greenway. of the University of Virginia; Darlington, of Lehigh; Williamson, of ITinceton; McCoy, of Stevens: Church, ot Princeton; Wells, of Staten Island Cricket Club;Tobra and O'Donnell, of George town: Bernard, of Lehigh, and Reed, Harben, Brown, Stoutenburgh and Sam King.of the Co lumbia Athletics. FISHEES AND UCNTEES. Tbe United Clnbs Hold a Sleeting and DIi cms Important Blatters. The regular quarterly meeting of tho United Hunting, Fishing and Camping Clubs was held in tbe rooms of the Pittsburg Rod and Gun Club on Saturday evoning. Reports from the various clubs were read and were referred to the Committee on Publication of Annual Re ports. J. W. Hague, the Fish Warden, re ported that he bad secured 86 convictions for violation of the fish laws during the past 12 months. The report was well receivetLanda warrant ordered drawn in favor of Mr. Hague for $5 for each conviction be secured. There were general applications of new clubs to be admitted to tbe United. Tbe meeting ad journed to meet at the same place on the sec ond Saturday in January to elect officers for the coming year. Lucky Baldwin's Good Bet. At the commencement of the present year Mr. "Lucky" Baldwin offered to wager $5,000 that he would not see any of his horses race on an Eastern track this year. Mr. Baldwin's pas sion for seeing his flyers do battle with the cracks was so well known that a friend of his who happened to be present snapped at the offer, and, like the colored sport, no doubt thonght it was "jes like findin' de money." Mr. Baldwins horses journeyed East however, but the owner did not accompany tbem, and al though they met victory and defeat in turn as other stables. Mr. Baldwin's familiar face was never seen in tbe paddock or ou tne quarter stretch. At tbe commencement of 1890 tbe master of the Santa Anita stable will be free from the obligation of bis wager, and (as be bas now virtually won the money) be richer in pocket by tbe neat sum of $5,000. This will bny a few oats for tbe stable, besides paying the millionaire turfman's traveling expenses the next time be journeys East to capture tbe Derby or some-other notable event BporU man, . MeLnnghlln as a Trainer. Talking of jockeys who have been great but are on the point of retiring, we are reminded of the fact that McLaughlin's engagement with Mr. P. Lorillard begins with the new year. Among many people we find an impression that McLaughlin will not get along at Mr. Loril lard's. He has, they say, no experience as a trainer beyond tbe fact that occasionally he bandied Miss Woodford, George Kinney, Sir Dixon and others of the Dwyer stable when RoweorMcCabe were elsewhere with the bal ance of the stable. In such cases the horses were trained when ho took tbem and he only had to keep them going. In this case it will be different He will have a lot of horses of no established reputation, good and bad alike. Tbe fact that he has not an estalished reputa tion as a trainer may cause Mr. Lorillard to interfere with bim, as employers are apt to do in snch cases. Moreover. Mr. Lorillard. while one of the most liberal of employers, Ja not the.' easiest to please, ana tne uassanaras up town say thev will give McLaughlin six months, and lay odds he doesn't last over a year. Spirit of the Timet. Tbe Unknowd Ready. Tbe following challenge was left at this office yesterday: I wonld like t know if Billy Glery wants to fight my unknown, if be does I will meet Glery at Thx Dispatch offlce on Saturdiy 'next a. 8 o'clock, to make a match.

It is stated that the fight between Slavin, tbe Australian pugilist, and Jem Smith will take place to-morrow fore noon in a racquet court at Bruges, Belgium. Sporting Notes. KrxiRAiit and .Vaquelin have been matched to fight on January 23. The Horseman bas Issued a handsome and instructive Christmas number. McCLXLLAirD and Miller run their ten-mile race at Philadelphia to-morrow evening. The sickness of Searle which caused his death was the result of a sunstroke at Co lombo. Zimmeb says that Messrs.

George and "Malar." will tide Cantaln Sam Brown's thor- .onghbreds next year, having signed contracts witn tne xittsoui millionaire. Thk records of all previous years are far sur passed by the 2.30 roll of trotter and pacers of 1889. The list up to Monday last showedrnoless than 782 names. The total number of horses in the 2.30 ranks is now very near 6,000, George Scattebqood is wintering Ham brino Prince, the 6-year-old colt owned by D. Ia Ward, that recently trotted a trial mile at Bel mont in 2:3 and unless ail signs fail this horse should certainly be a campaigner in the spring, and rank with the 2.30 trotters. what was probably the oldest horse in Maine died lately, in Bangor. A mare owned by J. H. Craig dropped dead in her stall. Had she lived until next May she would have been 42 years old. .On the same day she Vas driven -downtown, and appeared as frisky as a colt, Phaxlab, 2:13, who was sent to California a lew weeks ago for the purpose of being piit in shape for an effort to lower bis record, is 'on his way back to tbe home of his owner, Jackson L Case, of Racine, Wis. Bhortly after his ar rival in California tbe rainy season began, so that all chances of his being able to have a trial against the watch this year were abandoned. DISCOVERED BI A CHILD. That Frightful Butchery In a Nlles Home Partly Explained. Niles, O., December 23. In addition to particulars of the Shelar tragedy, sent earlier, the following is learned. Kittie Meeker, a little sister of the mur dered woman, caused the discov ery of the tragedy. She went ' to the house to deliver the evening's milk, as usual, and was nnable to gain admittance to the house. Charles Mossman was in the vicinity and she told 'him about it. He went with her to the rear of the house, and, finding a door open, entered. The first floor of the house was deserted, but a terrible sight met their eyes in the second story. The dead baby wjjs onthe -floor of one room, two murdered child ren with gaping, bloody throats lay in their bed in another chamber, while the murderer and his wife were clasped in the embrace of a bloody death on their own couch. It appeared that the wife was the first victim, and that she made a desperate fight for, life. The broken handle of the razor was found by Tier side. Then he went tpthe room where the 18-months-old girl lay and nearly severed her head from her body. Then came the bloody slaughter oftbe,eirlB, aged fi and 7 yean. The mur derer then apparentlyLtook a lamp, went to a mirror, deliberately cut his own" throat and . staggering to where his wife lay. threw prise, hunting coat. K; second uitujcii upva ur mraj. THOMAS IS TALKIIfi. He Believes That Hr. Brice is Kot in the Eace for Senator. M'MAHON A STB0NG CANDIDATE. An Indorsement is Expected From tha Knights of Labor. HIS I00SELT COSDDCTED CAMPAIGN. The EpriBzBdd Itsnnfsctnrer Will Hardly be Second in the Fight. J. H. Thomas, of BpringfieTd, O., is sure that his prospects for becoming a Senator are bright. He regards McMahon, and not Brice, as his strongest opponent. The can vass oi Thomas, however, is really being conducted in a very loose manner. ISFKCUt, TSUEGBAX TO TBS DISPjLTCH.1 Colttmbtjs, December 22. There seems to be a mutual understanding between the leading candidates for the Senate that there shall be a cassation of hostilities until after Christmas. They are, however, suspicious of each other, and it is likely some of the finest work will be accomplished between this and the last of fhe week. The million aires are not slothful and do, not tire early in the good cause with such a prize at stake. John H. Thomas, of Springfield, who has been in the city for a couple of days, left for home last evening, saying that he would not likely return until tbe last of the week unless he discovered there was some' effort to take undue advantage of him; then he would abandon the Christmas observance for one year. Hr. Thomas talks entertain ingly, when it is considered that he is looked upon as the leading candidate for the Senate against Calvin S. Brice. Thomas said last evening: A STEONO CANDIDATE. "The people generally speak of the candi dates as if Brice and I are the leading can didates, and the fight is between us. I am not satisfied that the contest will not yet be between myself and JIcMahon. He has quite a strong following and is the opposite of the elements which are represented in the candidacy of Brice, and I think if Brice begins to lose that McMahon with myself will be the gainers. The worst thing which can be said against McMahon is that he hasnever done anything for the party; in fact he has not so much as opened his mouth in its interest since he left Con gress, where he was placed as a recognition of his ability, and not because he had ever done anything looking to the strengthening of the party in the State." "What do you consider your leading claims on the party?" was asked of Mr. Thomas. "Undoubtedly myleadingpointofstrength lies with the workuegmen of the State. I do not suppose there is a man in Ohio who has done more in the way of example and direct work in the interest of organized labor than myself. While other manufacturers in Springfield have had strikes on hand trying to grind the men down, I have been run ning steadily, payiug advanced wages and working them less hours. In their fights with the capitalists I have on one or two oc casions made public speeches in which I have. taken the part of the.mecnanics and laboring men, and they remember these things. EJDOBSED BY THE KNIGHTS. "The adoption of the resolutions by the Dayton Assembly, Knights of Labor, was unknown to me, and while I Jiave not asked for anything of the kind I expect that other organizations of a similar character will take like action before the contest is concluded. If I did not consider that I am the strongest candidate for the position, and could do more for the Democratic party in the State and the nation than any other candidate. I would withdraw at once. I believe that the members of the Legislature will see it as I do, and I feel quite sure of election." "Are you urging any special point against Brice, your leading opponent?'' "No, I am on the best ot terms with all the other candidates and expect to continue in that manner to the close. I learned while ou the -road as a salesman, several years ago, that it did not pay to make an attack, or run down the goods of an op ponent, in an effort to make sales, and I think the same will hold good in regard to politics. If y policy has always been to give the best recommendation I have to my own wares or my own cause, and I think it will win in the long run. BRICE NOT A BESIDENT. "Of course on the question of which you speak, the fact that Mr. Brice is not a resi dent will go a great way toward his defeat, I. think this alone should insure his defeat and probably will. Ohio has plenty of good men in the State who are identified with her material interests as I am, and I think some one of them should represent the State in the Senate. It is also urged that Brice did not come home to vote at the last election." Mr. Thomas denies that he had anything to do with the apparent bureau interviews which were .gotten up in this city against the candidacy oi Brice, yet there is a gen eral belief that he at least had knowledge of what was coming, if he did not in spire them through his manager. After a long talk with Mr. Thomas, and hearing his reasons as to why he should be elected; hearing his estimate of his strength so far as be is, capable of giving anything of the kind: after learning the loose manner in which he has been conducting his canvass, without any direct or intelligent aim, and with managers who know little more than himself in regard to the work of politics, the impression forces itself that he is not now and will not even be a second in the race, but there will be at least two or three candi dates who will lead him when the time comes for voting in caucus. BILC011 IN T$ NTEEAL. Canadian Detectives Think They Are on tho Defaulter' Track. tSFKCIAX, TKXSOBAK TO TUX DtSrjLTCB.1 MontbeaIi, December 22. The report was current here to-day that Silcojt, the de faulting cashier of the House of Represen tatives, and his mistress, Herminie Thibault, were in Montreal. Similar reports have been current here for some time, but all efforts to locate Silcott have failed. The big reward offered for his capture has induced several Montreal detectives to take up the case, and one of them who is working on the case claims to have a clue that will lead to his arrest. It is claimed that about a week ago Herminie Thibault arrived 'in Montreal on a visit to a married sister, and prolonged her visit until yesterday, when" she suddenly announced that she was going to Quebec. The sister, when questioned, admitted that she had a visitor, but refused to give any in formation, The detectives have spotted the house, and are awaiting developments. They say they are positive that, thi woman in question, is Silcott's mistress, and during her stay here she was visited by a man who, it is claimed, answers Silcott's de scription. The Montreal detectives, however, who are wVrking on the case, are doing so on the spec, ind, as they are not certain of their man, cave not yet taken any steps to arrest the supposed Silcott. The only certain facts in the rumors are that Silcott's mis tress is'supposed to have been, on a visit to a relative in Montreal, and several detec ttyes are now trying to make a case out of it, PrVttMent Da Fe Ket Brief.

Dispatches from Quillamaine, under' date of November 12, confirm the report made by Engineer Cas tello to the Colonial Minister on his en counter with the Makols. Thedispatcbes say also that the natives made an unpro voked attack upon the camp at Mupassa, and that Castellp, after a slnbborh resist ance, defeated them and occupied the coun try. It was reported that the British mission aries at Blantvre instigated the Makolos. Major Serpa Pinto conferred with the Gov ernor of Mozambique and afterward pro ceeded in the gunboat Quansa to Quillamine, thence to llopa. A fortnight later news was received that the natives were massed on the Zambesi, and were advancing in the directioa of tbe Shire river. Serpa Pinto sent his scientific! instruments to the coast for safety, and placed Castello, Engineer Themudi and Lieutenant Contino' in com mand of the Portuguese and native troops, Contino also directing the movements W three steamers armed with guns and manned by Portuguese sailors. The latest news to October 29 was that Pinto had sufficient stores to last three months and that there was great activity in the camp. Pinto was suffering from ma laria. He expected to' be able to subdue tbe Makolos by December and return to Lisbon. TO SH00T0N SIGHT. The Hnsband of a Womnn Whose Body Was Resurrected for Dissection Eager for Tenccance Horrible Work of Ibe Ghouls. "Washington, December 22. The grave robbers have been at work in this city again, and to-morrow Dr. A. C. Adams, a demonstrator at one of the medical colleges, ' will be brought into court on a charge of being concerned in the affair. Last Friday night the police stopped a carriage near the outskirts of- the city and'iound in it two bodies, one white and the other colored. The driver and two other men in the vehicle escaped in the darkness, leaving their horses and carriage behind. It was at first supposed the bodies came from potter's field near by, but the body of tbe white woman has since been identified as that of Mrs. Cheek, wife of a gentleman living on South Carolina avenue, in this city. Her body was to-day reinterred in the Congressional Cemetery, irom which it had been carried away. An examina tion of the body showed that the ears had been foully mutilated and the fingers braised by the force with which the robbers had stripped the body oi some costly rings in order that thev might not be held ou the serious charge of larceny if caught with the body. The law in this city, it is maintained, makes no provision for the punishment of the resurrectionists. The husband of Mrs. Cheek, however, threatens to shoot on sight those concerned in theaffalr.

Mrs. Knox, of Pittsburg, and her daughter, Countess Di Hontereole, have arrived here from their Virginia plantation, and are stopping at the Xormandie. They are accompanied by Mrs. Barker, of Pittsburg. It is not known exactly whether they will remain- here for the sea son or go to Pittsburg, bnt the chances are in favor of this city. It is rumored here that negotiations are pending between the two families, looking to a re conciliation between the 'Count and his bride. Some time ago it was stated that the Count had been seen near the Virginia plantation and. was striving to be reunited to his wire. Now it is said Baron De Fava, the Italian Minister, has been acting in tbe role of peacemaker, having been interested in the matter by the entreaties of the Count's par ents. He is in this city, and this, it is sup posed, is the reason Mrs. Knox and her daughter have come here. T A MID-WINTER THDNDEK ST0EST. BufTalo Experiences a Singular Phenome non and a Bis; Gale. Buffalo, December 22. This city was visited by the singular phenomenon of a mid-winter thunder storm early thismorning. It started about 3 o'clock and continued an hour during which the thunderpeals were terrific and" lightning almost continu ous. The storm was accompanied by a high wind which blew at the rate of 60 miles an hour. Signs were torn down and windows and wi;es broken. Several small buildings partially collapsed. The white caps on the lake were the highest seen in a long time. An Appeal Well Answered. The Allegheny General Hospital sent out a thousand circulars to friends of the insti tution some days ago asking for contribu tions of money, clothing and groceries as Christmas offerings, both for the hospital and tbe patients confined there over the hol idays. The request has been already hand somely responded to. and many groceries as -well as clothing and drygoods, the latter principally mateiial for beds and bedding, .have been received in tbe past few days.

AIL DOWHED IK&IDE OP A DAT. f The Disease so Far Has Appeared in an ceedingly Mild Form. T sx- II CAME LIKE THE GEEAT BLIZZARD. And Thousands of Victims' Are Expected to be Beard Frofli Shortly. Philadelphia complains of the influenza. Says she has 2,000 cases. So far all are very slight. Local physicians tear worse- will come. (Some predict thousands' ot cases. rsrxciu. telioivim to tb sistatcim Philadelphia, December 22. Much as the blizzard nearly two years ago swooped down upon Philadelphia and all this section of country, so has the influenza come. It is infectious, but not contagious. A medical expert said to-night there were over 2,000 cases already in Philadelphia, and another very high authority said that it had reached the city within 24'hours, and had come with such a rush, something like a cloud of dust, that he expected within another day to see hundreds and thousands attacked. The epidemic in this country seems to be somewhat mild, and has a duration of from two to seven days. It is not limited to any section of territory, bnt is raging severely along the main line of the Pennsylvania Eailroad. Fourteen of the nurses in the Philadelphia hospital are now in bed, three more having succumbed early this morning. The condi tion of those who were taken down yesterday remains about the same. One or two ot the nurses tried to get up to-day, but after a little struggle thought it best to remain where they were. VEBY SLIGHT ATTACKS. Two of the resident physicians have had slight attacks, but they have kept at their duties right along. Miss Marion E. Smith, the chief nurse, is improving and expects to be about to-morrow. Dr. B. Glnrtin said that the epidemic was in the air. and would alight wherever it conld find a nest. It was a result, he thought, of atmospherio conditions, and attacks persons, whose nervous temperament is overstrung. It is thonght by some that th disease came with the fog that bas prevailed here several days, and therefore that those who live along or near the rivers may be quickest attacked by it. The theory accounts for its presence in the Philadelphia Hospital which is on the Schuylkill, bnt singularly enough, not more than one or two patients hate it, and in the University Hos pital, near the river, there is not a single case. Dr. James C. Wilson is an acknowledged expert on influenza, hav ing written extensively on the subject. He was on the jnmp to-day, all day, and rnshed as well in the evening. He bounced into his office, where a reporter was awaiting his return, and said: TOO BUST TO TALK. , Fm so busy tbat I haven't time to talk. Got to go right out again on an important engage ment. Yes, I think tbe grip is here. I said on Friday, wben tbere were only half a dozen cases in New York or Boston on record, that if it did come.lt wonld be witn a rusb. and there would be a general affliction. I think it's come. I have seen a ereat many cases to-day. Cannot tell you about tbem now, but I'm quite confi dent the epidemic is here! and in large num bers. Dr. Cnrtin, another physician, who has a dozen cases under his care, says he knows ot fully 100 others. He said: I think 1,000 cases is a low estimate, and probably tbe number ia fully twice that, throughout tbe city. It Is only a fewdsTsago, sinoe it started in Russia, so tbat it haan't been spread by contact or by the winds. Itcouldnt nave reached here 'by this time. It Is therefore, infections, and whenever It can find arestine place it alights. Those persons wh3 are especially liable to be attacked are per sons of high nervous temperament and who are somewhat rnn down. It affects the pulmonary organs, in some cases producing congning and some pain. The temperature goes up like a rocket, and comes down lust as swift. Take tbe nurses at tbe Philadelphia hospital. Some of them had a temperature of 103 degrees, and after it had subsided, it left a prostration a dozen times more severe than the prostration resultant upon chills and fever. MUEDEEED BI HIS DOOSLE.
