If ew Yokk, January 3. Pool selling on
the races received a check last night when
Superintendent Murray notified the proprie
tors of the poolrooms that they must close
their establishments to-day or suffer the
penalty. This edict caused much consterna
tion among the 30 odd pool sellers who have
their headquarters below Chambers street
Manv at first avowed they would open for
business to-day In spite of Superintendent
Murray, bnt tho "players" could not find one
place doing business when they went around to
invest their money on a favorite horse.
Since Judge Gildersleere's decision last
spring against the poolsellers, they have been
doing a sly but profitable business. This Is the
first time since then that there has been a
general closing up of these "banking houses,"
as the proprietors sometimes smilingly call
them.
A sporting man who "plays the bosses" regu
larly was met in front of a poolroom on Park
Row this noon. The door was firmly fastened,
and knocks and kicks were unavailing. As the
disappointed sport walked away disgusted, he
muttered that it was all a bluff on the police
to obtain more money from the bookmakers
for protection.

A Good Parse Offered.
A telegram was received in this city yester
day to the effect that the new athletic club at
New Orleans nad agreed to offer a purse of
6650 to McBride and O'Leary it they will fight
their battle at the club named. The two
pugilists are to fight within six weeks at 122
pounds to a finish for $300 a side, and John
Quinn, of this city, is interested In McBride.
The latter is willing to accept the clnb's offer,
and it Is expected that O'Leary will also be
willing. The purse and stakes will aggregate
1,150, and the winner will receive about $1,000
of the total amount Jack Fogarty is training
McBride.
He Wants Compensation.
Speaking of whether or not he will play in
Pittsburg Ad. Gnmbert said yesterday: "Per
sonally I don't want to play in Pittsourg. I
would rather play in Chicago, because when a
player is in bis own city alltis little shoncom
ings or mistakes are criticised to an extraor
dinary extent. People really think they have
a right to roast a home man at any stage. How
ever, If terms satisfactory to me are offered I
may play in Pittsburg."
It may be remarked that Galvinlsa "home
man," and he secures as fair treatment from
Pmsburgers as any player in the profession.
The Ripper U Wanted.
Parties interested in the local fighting dog
Bullivan called at this office yesterday and
stated that the dog can be matched at once to
fight Jack the Ripper, the Woods Bun dog, for
300 or $500 a side. A forfeit of $25 to make the
match was left at this office. The supporters
of the first-named dog want a match made at
once, or desire to bear no more about the
Rlpcer.
The Conntv Leacne.
The anneal meeting of the Allegheny County
Baseball League will beheld at Al Fran's
storr.Wood street, next Wednesday evening, to
square up accounts and elect officers for the
next 13 months. An effort will be made -to
bave the Our Boys Club, of the Southslde, be
come a member of the League. The East End
Athletics will be made up almost the sarae as
last year.
A STAR BATTERY.
Manaecr Hanlon Thinks He Will Get Gnm
bert and Qnlnn The New Clab Ap
plies for n Charter A Few
Conflicting Opinions.
In accordance with the statement made in
The Dispatch yesterday morning Hanlon
had a conference with Ad Gumbert the prom
inent pitcher, and as a result It Is very probable
that Gnmbert will sign a contract to play with
the Pittsburg Brotherhood club. The confer
ence was of a pleasant nature and while Gnm
bert did not sign at once he talked so satisfac
torily that Manager Hanlon Is confident that
the EastEnder will be a colleague of Galvin
and Staler.
Manager Hanlon also bad a conference with
Catcher Quinn, of Braddock. Qninn has signed
a contract to play with the Brooklyn. .Brother
hood club, but Mr. Hanlon has been in com
munication with John M. Ward regarding
Quinn, and as a result Mr. Ward states that If
the Braddock player is willing he can play with
Pittsburg and he can bave his' release from
Brooklyn. Quinn is willing to do this and it Is
certain that he will play here. Manager Ban
Ion expects to make a star battery of him and
Gnmbert
There bave been and will doubtless continue
to be many changes in the baseball programmes
for a long time to come. One of the latest is
the change made by the local directors of the
newclnb in applying for their legal right to
have a club. A few days ago .they had tho
ninprs nil nren.irnd to onramze under the Lim
ited Partnership act Since the Philadelphia
club applied and was granted a charter, how
ever, the local club officials bave resolved to
follow the example of their eastern friends.
The application for the charter was, therefore,
pnt on file yesterday.
This change caused considerable comment
vesterdav, and when asked the cause of the
change Treasurer Kerr said: "Why we were
always in favor of organizing nnder a charier,
but some of us thought the law might be some
what against our doing so. However, as soon
as the Philadelphia courts decided in favor of
granting the club there a charter we deemed it
safe enough to apply bore. That's all there is
in it"
The subscribers to the stock are: "Mayor Mc
Calhn, 60 shares; M. B. Lemon, 20 shares;
Colonel William A. Stone, SS0 shares; W. W.
Kerr, SO shares: Edward Hanlon, 80 shares;
Henry B. Rea. CO shares; C. F. Beymer 40
shares; Morris Baer. 40 shares, and W. p. j0t.
ter, 40 shares. The par value of the stock is 25
ner share. The total number of aharo m
"and the total capital stock $20,000. The dired
tors are Mayor McCallin, w. W. Kerr, Edward
Hanlon, henry B. Rea, C. F. Beymer, Colonel
Stone and M. B. Lemon.
It will be seen that W. A. Btone, representing
some outsiders, still holds the lion's share of
the stock. Some legal authorities stated yes
terday that the conrt would, doubtless, grant
the charter, but that any profits accrnlng from
the games could not legally be distributed, as
organizations under first class charters must
not be for profits. The charter applied for is la
the first class. It was this condition of law
that caused the old club to organize under the
limited partnership act Secretary Potter, of
the new club, however, says that the law
proper does not say anything about profits.
He claims that "not for profits," is only men
tioned In the title of the act and that the Phila
delphia court decided that the title was not the
law. At anv rate, amid all the controversy, the
new club officials are quite satisfied that they
are proceeding with absolute safety.
THE FAMOUS YACHT Y0LUNTEEB.
Its Owner Willing to Kace, Though
'Tls
Not His Present Intention.
Boston, January 3. In an interview to-day
General Paine, owner of the sloop yacht Vol
unteer, stated bis intention of getting
out the Volunteer next summer, hav
ing engaged the services of Captain
Haff as skipper. He says he could not change
her into a schooner, and" bad no intention of
racing her, "although," said he. "I don't say
that I should not go into a race if anything in
teresting turned up."
General Paine said be bad no idea of cross
ing the Atlantic with the Volunteer next sum
mer, as there was nothing there of sufficient in
terest to tempt him across.
ABOUT THE PHILLIES.
Who the Flayers of Their Team Aro Likely
to Be.
Philadelphia, January 3. The Philadel
phia club team for 1890 is very nearly com
pleted. Hamilton will be signed at once, and
no more players are wanted, nnless Farrar,
Sanders and Fogartyan be brought to terms.
The management Is not so anxious abont Far
rar, but they want the other two men if they
can be socured. Dan Casey may be added to
the pitching talent, and there is some talk of
signing John Coleman, formerly of the Ath
letics, as a general utility man.
The Philadelphias' regular team as it will
take the field will probably consist of Uleason,
Vickerv and "Phenomenal" Smith as pitchers.
Decker, Schriver and Clements as catchers,
Delehanty on first Al Myers on second, Joe
Mulvey on third and Allen at shortstop, with
Hamilton in left Burke in center and Sam
Thompson in right field. McCauley will be re
tained as a snbstitue infielder. Sam Thomp
son mav be placed on first base, and in that
event Delehanty will go to right field.
Gone to Seek a Fight.
JackMcGIlvery, the local pngilist left this
city for Buffalo last evening, where be intends
to locate for a while. He expects to secure a
match there. Before leaving last evening he
stated that he had tried his best to secure a
fight here and that none of the local light
weights would tackle him.
Another Regatta Suggestion.
Teemer was in receipt of another letter yes
terday from a Boston man. The letter sug
gests that a big regatta be held at San Fran
cisco, where $25,000 could be raised. It is stated
that all the prominent Australians would come
to Ban Francisco.
Pander Won.
Amsterdam, January 3. Here Pander, a
Dutchman, won the International skating match
at this place to-day. He covered the distance
in 1:242-5.
Sporting Notes.
It has come ont in a London law court that
Ernest Benzon, tho "Jubilee plunger," did not
even write the book entitled "How I Lost
250,000 in Two Years," which is simply a nar
rative of his own folly, but he took great pride
in being credited with its authorship. The
gentleman who really wrote the book testified
in substance that "Jubilee" was too lazy even
to tell the story of his idiotic career.
advices from Melbourne state that James
Stansbury will row William O'Connor, the
holder of the Folicc Gazette challenge enp, on
neutral water, for 500 a side and the cham
pionship of the world. If there is a champion
at the present time It is certainly William
O'Connor, but my view would rather be that
there is none, and will not be until O'Connor
and Stansbnry meet or, at least, shonld it be
impossible to bring them together, until Han
Ian and be have tried conclusions. But who
ever the championship may belong to, there is
one man who is clearly not entitled to it, and
that Is Peter Kemp. New York Bun.
Jim Dalt, the big middle weight pugilist of
Philadelphia, says: "I am prepared to fight any
man in the country, no matter bow big he is.
The reason I allowed Fogarty to insult me was
simply as a matter of self-preservation. My
fight with Patsy Cardiff, arranged hy the Audu
bon Athletic Club of New Orleans, is oil. I ac
cepted that club's offer for Frank Herald to
take Cardiff's place, but Herald has not been
heard from. I bave written to the Audubon
club that I will fight either Joe Lannon, Jack
Ashton, Godfrey, the colored pugilist, or Jack
Fogarty. If Fogarty wants to make a match
with me here's his chance. Both of us can get
fair play in New Orleans, and beside we can get
a f 1,500 purse. If Fogarty whips me he can
have it all. If Fogarty is as good a ring fighter
as he is a street scrapper he will accept this
challenge."
In a recent conversation upon his experience
In sportinc matters while in England, Tom
Eck, the bicyclist had the following to say on
football as a means of recreation among the
English: "If there is any sport out of which a
barrel of money conld be made in the Queen's
domain, it is football. Every town has its foot
ball grounds, and exciting matches are as regu
lar as in baseball in this country. The game
drawE surprisingly well, and I have been sur
prised on innumerable occasions to see 4,000
and 5,000 people in a match in towns of 16,000 and
20,000 inhabitants. If someone conld make up
a team ot the leading American players and
take tbem to England next season, he would
reap a large fortune in a very short timo by
proper management The English football
grounds are beyond question the best in the
world.
The following regarding the method of train
ing race horses is from an English paper: "To
Matthew Dawson belongs the entire credit I
believe, of substituting the present system of
training for the old plan of long, slow work and
frequent sweats. I have heard It said that the
idea was formed from a very simple and lowly
origin indeed no other than the butcher's cart
No doubt like everyone else in the world, Mr.
Dawson was repeatedly struck by the suoerior
ity of butchers' horses in those days (I am
speaking of some 30 years ago). It was plainly
apparent that they couid always go faster and
stay better, too. than otberpeople's, and it took
Mr. Dawson but little time to arrive at the con
clusion that it was brought abont by no other
means than by sending them along as tut as
they could go over the short distances inter,
vening between their places of calk This then
led him to adopt the same plan with the race
horses, and with the result I think I may say,
ot vast improvement in every respect of our
race none In general.'.

rsrzciAi. TZXEGBA1I TO THXmSrATCK.l
Ptjnxsuta-wjtet, January 3. Every
thing has been quiet here to-day, bnt there
maybe some excitement to-morrow, as it is
expected that the miners who have failed to
comply with the Sheriff's mandate to get
out as soon as possible, will he ejected.
Those who have charge of the strikers' in
terests instructed such of the miners as
conld find other habitations to go, and those
who could not to stay until they were thrown
out Only three or four families have" thus
far moved out, hut in the case of the Hun
garians a family means a good deal, as in
some instances as high as 30 of them are
packed into one small shanty. Two of these
"families" moved out to-day, and were ab
sorbed by other Hungarian households.
Another batch of writs is now being pre
pared and will be served in a short time. The
general imnression is that a strong effort will
be made to start up the mines on Monday. The
officials of the company think that if they
could get a few men to go to work, say 40 or GO,
the miners would consider themselves de
feated, and all would go in at the company's
own terms. But such hopes are likely to prove
delusive.
The petition sent to Governor Beaver by
Theodore P. Bynder, Chairman of the Union
Labor State Committee, setting forth that the
dignity of the Commonwealtn has been in
sulted by the introduction of an armed force of
Pinkerton men, and urging him to drive them
out of the State, does not seem to be making a
very decided impression on the Governor.
George Merchant, President of the Buffalo,
Bochester and Pittsburg Coal Company, who
was at Harrisburg yesterday to see Governor
Beaver, telegraphed to Superintendent Has
kell at this place that the Governor suggested
that if there was any danger of trouble when
the evictions took place that the Sheriff bad
better deputize these Pinkerton men to help
him.
FARMERS LOSE THEIE EIGHTS.
Hundreds ot Oil Leases Surrendered Owing
to a Misunderstanding.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Butler, December 3. The Supreme Court's
recent decision in a case appealed from Wash
ington county, Involving the validity of an oil
lease, is creating a great deal of discussion in
oil circles here, as it gives life to leases sup
posed to have been long since dead. The usual
forfeiture clause is to the effect that if drilling
is not commenced at the time specified,
or rentals paid when due, the lease
is null and void, and not binding
on either party. In the case referred to the
lessor refused to accept non-payment as a for
feiture of the agreement ana bronght suit to
recover the rental. The Supreme Conrt holds
tljat this clause is for the sole benefit of the
lessor; that he can, on the failure of the lessee
to comply with the conditions ot the agree
ment either declare the lease void or collect
the rentals for the term of years named in the
agreement but the lessee cannot take advan
tage of his own negligence to declare the lease
forfeited.
Hundreds of old leases are being returned to
landowners in this county, and. receipts taken
for the same. The farmers generally did not
know their rights under the decision, and sup
posing the leases to be no longer in force, ac
cepted them in nearly every instance. Anew
form of agreement Is being used by operators
to avoid this difficulty. In it tho lessee binds
himself to cancel the contract on the surrender
of the lease, asithis seems to be the only means
left by which the lessee can conclnde the con
tract SUSPICIONS OP FOUL PLAI.
Facts Which Seem to Show That Tonne
Alcorn Was Mnrdered.
IPPECtAL TELEGHAU TO TBS DISPATCH. 1
GreENSBuro, January 3. It is now firmly
believed that Stewart Alcorn, the young man
whose body was found a few days ago in the
Kiskiminitas river, was murdered. He disap
peared on Christmas evening. Ho was seen by
one or two citizens of SaUsburg going in the
direction of bis borne. Not arriving there, his
friends the next morning instituted a search for
him. Supposing that he might have fallen
through the railroad bridge, over which be gen.
erally crossed when going home, the river was
dragged and his body discovered. Develop
ments made within the oast 24 hours point to
foul play. On the night of the young man's
disappearance he was seen with the supposed
murderer, and hot words it is known passed be
tween them.
About the timo he was seen going in the di
rection of borne a woman who resides in a cot
tage adjacent to the bridge heard an animated
discussion between persons near her house, and
scuffling followed, after which all was quiet,
lheso facts coming to the ears Of his friends,
an investigation was at once instituted. De
tectives bave been engaged on the case, and the
greatest excitement prevails in SaUsburg over
the mysterious affair. It is probable that
the man suspected of the crime will be arrested
to-morrow. He is an ex-convict, and -was but
recently released from the Riverside peniten
tiary. THEEE DEATHS MAI EESDLT

WHAT THE STRIKERS SAL
A Committee of tbe Olen Make a Statement of
tho Matter.
A. committee of the strikers called at The
Dispatch office yesterday. They stated
that they were not engaged in a losing fight
and the chances of their winning now are
better than ever before. They have assur
ances rom 20 labor organizations pledging'
them financial support. Jacb organization
say they will pnt up $100 apiece to have the
men win the strike. Notwithstanding the
fact that the company's officials stated that
they have more men than they wanted, the
strikers say they are still asking them to
come back to their positions. When the
men went to the pay window for their
money they were solicited to return to work.
The strikers also state that the fact of 20 or
30 farmers being placed on the cars does not
scare them one bit Tbey also claim the
company has already discharged some of the
new men on account of incompetency.
Others, they claim, "had the decency to
quit" when thev learned how matters stood.
Five of them left the company yesterday
morning.
The strikers also claim that the patrons
of the line made it so warm for James Dud
dey, gripman of car No. 16, that he asked
to be transferred to another car and was yes
terday put on No. 22. This is the man who,
they claim, organized them and was one of
the first to refuse to go out The men say
they have no enmity against Chief Engineer
Davis, but in fome cases he is not acting
squarely with his old employes. They say
they were misinformed about Mr. Davis
snatching the badge from one of the strik
ers. The man who savs his badge was
taken now refuses to make an affidavit to
that effect

A Serious Mistake
Corrected. Much mischief is done in treat
ment of constipation. Tbe common opinion is
that all the Indications aro-f alfilled if medicine
lorces unloading of the bowels. A great error.
Medicine simply cathartic, corrects no morbid
condition, consequently their use is followed
by greater costiveness. A remedy to be effect
ual and permanent must be composed of tonic,
alterative, corrective and cathartic properties.
These qualities are admirably combined in Dr.
Tutt's Liver Pills. They cure chronic consti
pation and all the sufferings that result from
it. They give tone to the Intestinal mucous
membrane, stimulate tbececretions and correct
imperfect action ot tne stomach and liver.
Tutt's Liver Pills
