ABOUT EOWE AND WHITE'S CLUB
E. J. MeKean, the Cleveland ball player,
is in the- citv and explains his actions in
signing two contracts. The local League
clnh -will -remain at home and practice. The
Bufialo clnb has withdrawn from the Inter
national 'Association alter losing money.
E. J. MeKean, the wefl-knoTrn shortstop
of the CleTeland Kational League club, ar
rived in the city yesterday and reeistered at
the Hotel Anderson. MeKean has been
prominently before the baseball publio
lately as a contract jumper, he having
signed a new League and subsequently ap
pended his name to a Kational League doc
ument A few days ago it was reported
that ue bad repudiated bis National .League
agreement and again returned to tbe Brother
hood fold, bat he denies this. He talked very
interestingly on tbe question yesterday to a
representative of The Dispatch. Curing a
long conversation be said:
ATEWPOllTTS EXPLAINED.
lam not here on any baseball business, but
am only here to meet a friend of mine a trav
eling man. About my case? Well, I am not in
a very comfortable position, bnt I have certain
ly not agreed to go back to the Brotherhood. I
wish this to be made very clear. I know that
reports were circulated to tbe effect that I bad
made requests to be taken back, but those re
ports were false. X was with Al Johnson when
the news of Ward's victory in court was re
ceived in Cleveland. We then talked about my
going back, but nothing definite was done; in
fact, we did not talk in a business way at all I
gave Mr. Johnson to understand that I was with
the party that would pay me the most money.
"I subsequently took my two contracts to a
prominent lawyer, and after examining them
be told me that the new League contract was
binding, while the other was not. He said that
according to tbe Brotherhood contract I could
make tbe Cleveland new club keep me the en
tire season.
A WORTHLESS COHTBACT.
Hot so with the old Cleveland club, said the
lawyer: its contract is not by any means bind
ing after the player has signed it. Well, 1 can
not say where 1 will play this season. I have
not made up my mrad as to what club will be
successful and which will pay me the most
money. I am free to confess that I am in a very
nncomiortame position, i aon't Know now Mil
ler and others feel, but I don't like it. One is a
kind of target lor everybody to make a
mark of."
MeKean continued: "The prospects of the
Brotherhood-are exceedingly bright since tbe
New York clnb failed to secure an injunction
against Ward, At Cleveland it is now all
Brotherhood, and heretofore it was all tbe old
League. The Brotherhood's chances seem to
be extremely gosd7 and all the deserters, I
understand, want to be back. I haven't any
idea as to what I'll do yet. Salary will have
armosreverythiirgto no with me."
MeKean went on to sav that there would be
some pood ball players in Cleveland this sea
son. Both clubs, be argncd, will be good ones.
He may leave fcr home this evening.
BUFFALO WITHDRAWS.
Eewe and White's Team Leave the Inter
national After Losinc Money,
israelii, telxobjuc to tux dispatch.!
Buffalo. February 1L The Buffalo Base
ball Club is oat of the International Associa
tion, having failed to pnt np tbe $1,000 guaran
tee. Tbe franchise was retained until now to
bible Buffalo to dispose of several players not
wanted for this year's Players' team, and thus
reimburse the ball capitalists.
This year's team is substantially owned by
the same men as backed the nine last year.
They are Bowe and White, ex-Sheriff Frank
Gilbert, Superior Court Clerk Moses Shire and
Charles Fitzgerald. These gentlemen have
pursued the policy of withholding news from
all the local reporters, and since Jack Bowe
went to California abont all the news the Buff
alo papers bave been able to get has leaked out
s through other channels. Tbe club last year
lost about 12,000, and it was expected this
wonld De recovered by the sale of Lehane,
Beidy, Collins, Hamburg, Andrus, Bhepard,
Flynn and Dealy. Lehane is understood to be
sold to Columbus, but he baa not signed and
cannot be found. None of the others have
been sold so far as can be learned here, and, as
they were practically anybody's property witn
out bnylng after to-day, in case Buffalo tailed
to pnt np tbe guarantee, it u not believed that
any of -them have been bought.
WONT HATE A TEIP.
manager Hecker Telia Why tbe Southern
Jonrney la Abandoned.
.Manager Hecker visited the old League ball
grounds yesterday morning. He found the
park in tolerably fair condition, but some little
improvements will be made in tbe stands and
grounds.
The manager. Secretary Scandrett and Presi
dent Nimick had a lone talk about tbe pro
posed Southern trip, and finally it was con
cluded to have no trip at alt Manager Hecker
said: The team will remain at home and till
up all tbe dates until tbe championship season
opens. There will, therefore, be plenty of ex
hibition games. Louisville, Columbus, Erie
and some Canadian clubs have written for
dates. Many of our players will begin to report
next month, and I think we will get an excel
lent team into first-class condition. The ex
pense of a Southern trip with 21 men wonld
outweigh all benefits."

FOE BIG STAKES.
Mncalester, of Philadelphia. Wins an Im
portant Live Bird Match
Babtxox. L. L, February H. The last of
the series of the three great pigeon matches,
11,000 a side each, and $5,000 a side additional
on the main! 200 birds, between C. Macalester,
of Philadelphia, and Dr. Knapp, of New York,
which came off yesterdav, resulted as follows:
Macalester killed 168. missed 31: Knapp killed
162, missed 33. Knapp loses this match by four
birds.
Macalester won all tbe money. He beat Dr.
Knapp in the series by 123 to 3S7 birds. Macal
ester won all three matches, and proved him
self to be one of the greatest live bird shots for
money in tbe country. It is generally con
ceded by old sportsmen that few of the old
timers, men given credit for being money
shooters, could have equaled this score.
Dr. Knapp had $5,000 of his own money on
the match, while Mr. Macalester was backed
by a syndicate, and this may have bad some
thing to do with Dr. Knapp's loss of heart Mr.
Macalester made some beautifnl shots lu the
last half of tbe "race," and Or. Knapp's sup.
porters declared that Mr. Macalester was by
odds the greatest wing shot, either amateur or
professional, in this country.

Hopkins realizes his position and the extent

hopes for pardon. He has written the follow

ana It finds me in the best oi health, Blllie, it
wonld be a Joyful meeting for us both If we conld
get together as we have often done before, bnt it
cannot be. So let It be as it Is. I am altogether
a different man; I havo found peace and hope for
my soul; 1 have looked forpardon from a higher
place than this earth, and 1 have found It, 1 am
reconciled to my fate and will meet it like a man.
lor 1 have nothing more to live for. All my hopes
were blighted over a year ago, and It Is needless
to mention ume. BllUe, I do hope yon can get
a cbance to come and see me before tbe 20th, for I
wonld like to see vou and bave a talk over old
times. Of course, I have done an awfnl crime,
bnt I was driven to It, bat nevertheless I wasn't
Justified In killing either of them; that Is where 1
made the sad mistake: yoa know all tbe rest, and
for that reason X don't care to live. 1 prefer to
die, and then I will be ont of my troubles.
My casket came to-day. and 1 will soon see It;
be put in It and goto rest. The county don't bury
me. my brother will pay all. I will be taken hon
to be burled alongside of my father, brothers and
sisters. Blllle, I hope from tbe bottom of my
heart that you and yours will prosper and that
yon will live happy and content; don't fall Into
tbe snare that 1 aid.
Andrews takes It very easyandhe is the right
man. He confessed to me last night. He and I
have the sam-1 cell. He has told me all. it Is
f rlgbtfnl. 1 can't see how he done It, hut he did.
You will read his and my statements after I am
gone. We are both unfortunate men, but we will
die game. My eyesight Is falling me day by day.
It la tbe close confinement that is the cause of It.
I have to guess half what 1 write, as 1 can't sen
the lines. Give my regards to the boys and tell
them von rot a letter from me. Tell tbem bow I
feel: that I am prepared to die. I will close with
my love to you and your family, from your un-
fortunate friend, write soon.

and fine pen work the large figure "one"
on the reverse side was split Into two "tens,"
and the intermediate portion was trans
formed into a scroll. On the other side the
"ope" over the representation of the silver

The small "one" was changed to an "X,"
and a new series number was printed in red
upon the face. The bill would paw any

Ottawa, Ont., February 11. There
was a riot to-night at Hull City, jnst across
the river from here. It was an enlargement
of the riot which took place there last week.
Hiss Bertha Wright and her evangelists
had announced that they were going over
there to-night. They went, accompanied by
about a dozen gentlemen who acted as an
escort Miss Wright was assisted by two
other ladies. Members of the Yonng Men's
Christian Association and others had offered
to go over with the Evangelists and in fact
had offered an escort of 1,000 men. Miss
Wright, however, fearing trouble, asked
them to stay away. Hull was in a state of
excitement all the afternoon, and abont 7
o'clock 600 or 700 men and boys had as
sembled there. They paraded through the
streets, and had entire possession of the
town. The Chief of Police tried to harangue
the mob, but could not get a hearing.
Alderman Joshua Wright tried to make a
speech, but the crowd attacked him and
beat him severely.
ARMED -WITH OT7NS, STICKS AND STONES.
The crowd soon increased in numbers
until it was over 1,000 strong, and was
armed with gnns, sticks and stones. The
men marched along shonting and singing.
Toward 8:30 the mob surged forward in the
direction of Little Mission Hall, making a
terrible din as they proceeded. Bespect
able citizens remained in their houses, not
daring to come out
Upon arriving at the hall hundreds of
hands hurled Btones at the building, smash
ing the windows and demolishing the wooden
structure. Many persons were hurt. The
Evangelists and their escorts left the build
ing in a body and marched forward reso
lutely. The mob on perceiving them in
creased their yells.
A woman among them.
Miss Wright was injnred by a stone, bnt
not seriouslv. H. Walters was hit in the
temple with a stone and also received a
wound in the back. The police were unable
to cope with the mob, but two of the ring
leaders were locked up. These persons were
seriouslv injured: Robert Ferris, head in
jnred: H. Bhepard, bead and lace injured
nenry v alters, lunjor yvrigut, uonn
Wright and Robert Stewart all badly hurt
Mr. Charlton, M. P., received news ot
the riot in the House of Commons and im
mediately went to Hull. When he got
there the Evangelists were ufe and only a
few of the rioters could be seen. The matter
will be brought up in Parliament to-morrow.
