vtptr THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, IFEBBTJAKY 15, 1890. 6 1 E NOTA GOOD OUTLOOK Teemer Thinks That O'Connor May Strike a Snag. SOME INTERESTING TALK. Manager Becker Makes More Dates for the Old League Club. THE SPORTING KEWS OP THE DAT John Teemer, the ex-champion sculler, talks interestingly about O'Connor'"" chances in Australia. Teemer also shows how row ing has improved. Manager Hecker receives encouraging letters from his players. Gum- bert agrees with the Boston Brotherhood' club. John Teemer, the ex-champion sculler of America, was in the city yesterday after noon. To say that the McKeesnort rower was in good condition would be saying something that was absolutely false. Teemer yesterday weiebed 194 pounds,but went onto the scales with a hope that ne would be a better rower next summer than he ever was. Teemer talked a little about comparisons of scullers and it is in this that John Teemer's opinion is worth more than that of any other authority of aquatics. Putting everything to one side Teemer has a very good idea of the abilities of any kuown rower except probably McLane, the young Australian. During a conversation Teemer said: "O'Connor, of conrse, has gone to Aus tralia. I would like to see him be a victor, bnt reallTlthink if be rows Stansbury the latter will win. THINKS -WELL OP KEMP. I am inclined to the opinion that Peter Kemp will defeat O'Connor. Of coarse I have reasons for so thinking I think that Kemp was a bet ter rower than Beach, because, without any sound reason, the latter gave Kemp all the honor and emoluments of a championship. Moreover, Kemp beat Hanlan easier than did Beach. Stansbury I have never seen, bat with out a doubt he is a good rower. It anybody has a claim to the world's championship Stans bury has, because he bad a forfeit up to row Searle when the latter died. Bat Stansbury has no absolute claim on any world's champion ship title and if be defeats O'Connor why there are still more men to defeat in America. I make this statement feeling sure that aquatic history will bear me out. I say that time will prove that O'Connor is not the rower that Han lan was. I was beaten by O'Connor in one of the worst races that I ever rowed. I have beaten Gaudaur in Just as good form as I was in that day. Host certainly, with proper train ing and a good boat, I can defeat Gaudaur every aay in the week. Whenever I have rowed Gandanr on a clear coarse and in condi tion I have beaten him easily." raPBOVEMElTT IN BOWING. Teemer talked about the improvement in rowing in a very interesting way. He said: "Now people talk about what rowing was at this time and at that time. I state that pro fessional sculling in America to-day is faster and better than it ever was. I will prove it. In 1SS3 only one man coald row three squarely measured miles in 19:50. In 18S4 this was lowered by about 10 seconds and more than one could do it. In 1SS5 the mark still came down and nearly reached 19 JO. In the following yesr there was, I dare say, no change, but in 1887 the mark still came down, and I know men who could beat 1930. The quality of rowing still cot' better and it got below the 1920 mark. This shows that rowing to-dav is much better than when Hanlan defeated Hawdon or Elliott ontbeTyne. Rowing tn-day is better than it ever was, and what I have said proves it. How ever, let me tell you this, that there is not a man living to-day who can row three miles with a torn on a lake course twice In a year in 19 minutes. I venture to say that no man can be found, give bim his day in a year, who can row three honestly measured miles on a lake coarse in 19 minutes. I mention this because I know as to what a scalier can do. and my state ment may convince some people regarding wrong opinions about sculling." Teemer went on to say that he will be in the Thayer regatta, and that be does not mean to challenge anybody. He thinks he will defeat any sculler whom he may meet in the Boston regatta. He will order a new boat for the contest. WINNERS AT CLIFTON. A Great Novelty at lbs Famous Winter Track in the East. rsrrcm. tzliorak to thb msr-ATCH.1 Back Tea ck, Cliftoh. N. J., February 14.

U'he men fought seven rounds, the first three opening with lively inflecting and savage rushes, both men receiving severe punishment. In the fourth round Eckert landed with tell ing effect several times on Brennan's neck and body, but failed to reach the right spot,receiving in return a severe cut over the right eye. giving first blood to Brennan. In the seventh round terific infighting followed. Brennan fell, and was struck repeatedly bv Eckrrt while on the floor. Reieree Weir, the "Belfast Spider." then gave the fight to Brennan on a foul. Both men wt re severely punished. INTERESTING OPINIONS. Prof. Kirschner Expresses Himself Abont Jiick Fojtarty and Oibrra. Prof. Kirschner. of the East End Gymnastic Club, talked freely about the prominent boxers and pugilists yesterday. The Professor has bad a long experience amongthe exponents of the "manly art" and delights to express himself now and again. He thinks as a middle-weight Jack Fogartybas no equal as a Center. He has watched Fogarty foi i longtime and deems bim a first-class boxer and a natural fighter. McBnde l another youngster that the Pro fessor thinks well of, bnt thinks that Cat McCarthy is too much for him at equal weighv. Prof. Kirschner is of the opinion that 8nlliv3.n is the mot terrific man living, and that be is too much of a bom pugilist for Jackson. The latter, according to the Professor, is too much cf a glove man to be a fighter. Entries tit Gatlenbnrg. ISFXCTAL TELXGBAU TO THB DUPATTR.1 Back Tkack Guttexbtjkg, N.

Old times were somewhat brought back yes terday in the suburbs of the city among the patrons of the cock and dog pit. Anybody who wanted to see old-time sport, providing he bad the tip, could have gone at the cost of abont 5 cents and had eight or nine hours of it Just ontside city limits there were dozens of chicken fights and at the termination of the fowl arguments two dogs got into the pit. The spectators Included some of the best known business men in Western Pennsylvania. The chicken fights were numerous and birds were fought representing almost everv nearby town, including Wheeling. Hteubenville and East Liverpool. The Pittsburgers held their own and to say anything more about a chicken main would simply be repeating an oft-told story. The event of the day was a dog fight between a dog from Brownstown, the Soutbslde, and a dog that a few local men bought from the gypsies some time ago. Gypsy weighed 34 pounds, ana the Brownstown dog weighed 43 pounds. After 40 minutes' fighting, the little fellow was beaten. He was almost dead, but he was game, but bis owners respected his pluck and took bim out of the ring. They were cheered for doing so. The battle was forSlOO aside, and the betting was lively from start to finish. Certainly there was nothing like any S10.000 investments in the contests such as the public has, by gullible youngpenple been led to be lieve, of similar affairs. There were probably $300 or f 100 invested on the issues. 8IE GUt TEEI BUST. Mnnager Hecker Receives Some Encourag ing Letter From Ills Men. Bir Guy Hecker is still filling up dates for the exhibition games of the old club. Yesterday the knight was doing lots of business, not only in fixing dates, but receiving letters from some of tbe most prominent young players. Manager Hecker settled with tbe Olean team for April 7 and 8, and with Bradford for April 17 and 18. Tbe popular local battery. Jones and Hess, are in tbe Bradford team. Other dates are being- sougnt lor oy gonu teams. Manager Hecker was in roceipt of letters from Routcliffe and Kelty. These two players are exercising bard every day, and the formnris certain that the Pittsburg League team will be better than la-t year. Boutcliffo and Kelry are doubtlessly two excellent players, and they state that they will report here in first-class condi tion. They anticipate that good ball playing will count more than anything else. Henry Morrison, formerly of tbe Indls,napnlis club, bnt recently of the Mansfield, O., team, wrote Hecker yesterday, asking a trial. Morri son is a pitcher, and lias excellent recommenda tions. Manager Hecker will give him. a trial. GUMIiEKrs CASE. It Is Left With Pittsburg to Place Him In Boston. rKTECIAt. TELEORAH TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Boston. February It Ad Gumbert, one of tbe best of Anson's colts, has accepted tbe terms of the local Players' League club, and has agreed to sign as soon as. his contract is sent on from Boston. Gumbevt was wanted by Pittsburg, it will be remembered, but would not sign a contract which was satisfactory to the Pittsburg management. The chief tbing which he wanted was a guarantee that bis divi sion of tbe prize money, wb ich it is expected Chicago will win, should be. guaranteed him by Pittsburg. Director Hart said this morning that the only obstacle in tbe way of bis signing with Boston for 1890, was tbat tbe written consent of the Pittsburg club must first be obtained, as Pitts burg has been unable to sign him so far, and Captain Hanlon and Vie have expressed their views ot each other vevy strongly in print, it is bardly likely tbat this Pittsburg backers will make any objection to bis coming here. v The Brnafleld Sales.

Newton, of Everson, giving birth to four perfectly formed girls, is still the talk of the town. When Dr. A. J. Sogers made his visits there to-day a large number of ladies braced him to let them go in also and take a view of the quadruplets, bnt he refused. The history of the Newton family is inter esting. Mr. and Mrs. Newton are of Irish birth, both having been born in Cork, Ire land, where they became acquainted and were married. Shortly after their marri ige they emigrated to this country and located at Everson. where Mr. Newton got work in the mines and has been there ever since. Mrs. Eliza Newton is the mother of two boyr. three girls, more properly nine, with the quartet of girls born yesterday morning. Sbe is about 5 feet 2 inches In stature, fair complexion and is moderately educated. Alike New ton, who is an out-and-out Irish man, is abont 5 feet 8 inches in height, weighs about 150 pounds and is only an ordinary look ing man. His bair is inclined to be sandy. By hard ork he has secured for himself a little home in Everson, and unless something un foreseen takes place has now an opportunity to makes large snms of monev. It is understood be has already received flattering offers to place the four girls on exhibition. If they live, and there is now every prospect that they will, and remain healthy. Mrs. Newton herself is one of the twin daughters of her mother, who lives in Ireland. She never bad more than one cbild at a birth before yesterday morning. Dr. A J. Rogers, their physician, said after he made bis visits to-day that the mother and children were doing well, and the inference drawn was tbat they would surely live. He said they resembled four peas, and you could not possibly tell them apart, as even the lines on their faces and the hair on their heads are exactly alike. They are very lively, and when they cry you think you will meet with McGinty's fate. Bev. Lambing christened tbem yesterday, and after tbey bad been named, Mrs. Newton herself could not distinguish tnem by their names. Dr. Rogers will not admit anyone to see them for 10 or 12 days yet. when it is expected the danger line will be passed. The doctor is quite confident uf bringing tbem through all right. Legislature will likely be petitioned to make a provision for the Newton family. MISTER! SDEE0USDS THE DEAL Beaver Fall and Piitf bnrg Capitalists Se cure a 600-Acre Tract. SPICLlL TELEGIULU Til TRI DISPATCH.! New Castle, Februarv 14. Six hundred acres of land sltnated at Hazel Dell, this coun ty, II miles from here, has just been for mally turned over to Merrit Green, a business man and capitalist of Marshalltonn, Iowa, It is understood tbat Mr. Green has made the purchase for Beaver Falls and Pittsburg capi talists. Quite a mystery surrounds the deal. Six or eight months ago Mr. Green took an option on tbe property, and on tbe 1st of January of the current year he notified the owners tbat he would accept it at their terms. The farms purchased were the property of Daniel, Alex, and Nathaniel Nye, Nathaniel Pettitt, John Hazen and James Knox, and cost' Mr. Green about 60,000, or $100 per acre. It is said tbat a two-foot vein of solid lead ore underlies tbe territory. To your correspondent Mr. Green stated that there will be a railroad built through tho prop erty next summer. When asked directly what he intended to do with tbe land be said that 600 acres of ground in one plot would make a good farm. It is alleged by outsiders tbat tbe purchase is only an experiment, and tbat only a portion of the money has been paid. It has, however, been suted authoritatively on the other band tbat one-third was paid down in cold cash and tbe balance in bonds and mort gages payable in two equal payments annu ally. It is thought by some tbat large works will be built and a town spring up. CUTTING DOWN 0EDEES. Coke Ovens Will Clone Down for a Few Days nt a Consequence. FrKCIAt. TELEGEAJt TO TITS DISPATfittl Scottdale, February 11 Most of the coke works of the Connellsville region will make but five days next week. This suspension is due to tbe consumers being well stocked up, and tbey consequently order in small lots. General Su perintendent Lynch has notified Secretary C. M. Parker that half of tbe Frick Company's works will be idle on February IV and the other half on Febrnary 20. No other cause is as signed than that of furnacemen cutting down orders. Nearly all of the small operators will run bnt five days this week. Tbe one and two day shut-downs of each will not extend over three or four weeks. The Percy Mining Company signed tbe s.cale last night, and this leaves but a few operators who have not signed the present agreement. Bainey is one that will bardly sign the labor contract.

THE DEOTEB'S SLAIEB8. Both Clark and Taylor Preparing for Their Death on the Gallows. IfrECIAL TXLECRAM TO THE DISPATCH. I Waynesbueo, February It George Clark and Zacbarias Taylor, the two men convicted of the murder of Drover William McCansland, of Allegheny City, have been condemned, and will probably expiate tbe penalty ot their atro cious crime upon the same scaffold. Since tbe Pardon Board declined to recommend a com mutation of sentence the guard has been doubled, two officers patrpllng the corridor in front of tbe condemned men's cells day and night. The date of Clark's execution has been fixed for February 20, but Taylor's time has not yet been set, his death warrant never having been received from tbe Governor. However, it is thought that Governor Beaver will shortly fix a time for Taylor's nanglng, and that Clark's license to live will be extended so as to expire on tbe same day and tbe two men swing to gether. Both of the condemned men were visibly affected when the news tbat the Pardon Board had refused to interfere in their behalf reached them. Clark was especially cast down, being much disappointed. He has now about given up hope, and 6a j s that be will make a declara tion of his innocence as the last words he shall utter. Taylor seemed less Impressed by the awful ness of bis position than Clark. He, too. asserts his Innocence, has thrown off his old skeptical manner, and has begun to speak of the other world in a very different tone than was bis wont. He has printed (with a lead pencil) a letter to his wife, giving her in structions how to bring their children up in the right path. WILL BEACH A CEISIS SOON. General Manager Haskell Conferring With a miners' Committee. I6PECIAL TELEOBAU TO THE DISPATCH.! Punxstjta'vvnet, February It It looks as though the strike at the mines of the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Coal Company will reacn a crisis very soon. There will either be a settlement very shortly or the contest will re solve itself into a stubborn siege involving the Knights of Labor of toe whole country. J. B. Hoe, President of the United Miners' Associa tion, said to-day that it looked as though tbe Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Coal Com pany's object was to rid Itself or the organiza tion, and if tbat was really their design it would be suicidal to tbe knigbts to tamely sub mit to defeat. The company bas several hun dred men at work at Walston and Adrian now and is adding to the force daily, but the ma jority of tbe new men are not practical miners, and it takes experienced men for drivers in these mines, and as all the old drivers are holding out for agreement, tbe company is seriously hampered in tbat respect. An effort is being made to get the Beechtree miners to come out in support of tbeir fellows at this place. There are 400 men employed at tbe Beechtree mines, and at their meeting last night a committee was appointed to wait on tbe officials of the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Company. Tbe committee finished their work in short order and reported that General Manager Haskell had agreed to meet tho miners' committee, composed of Messrs. Roe, Wilson and Quinllst, at the Opera House this afternoon evening. The meeting Is still in progress with closed doors. POLITICS WABM-I.NM'EEESPOBr.

In Innocoona Desnetnde Some Difference Between Its Past and Present An Old Custom More Bomantlc Tbnn Now Prevails. St Valentine has been with as, and is gone. No doubt tbe usual number of ten der, fluttering hearts were soothed by the receipt of the usual billets donx. The Val entine's day poet may now take a needed rest, after his appalling exertions on amatory couplets ending in "loves" and "doves," "Cupid's darts" and "anxious hearts," "one sweet kiss" and "endless bliss," etc., etc The artist too, that soulful artist who in three colors depicts those delightful men and women, with fiery noses, or waspish waists, which hang in some of onr shop windows. The maiden of a certain age may give np her weary vigil and resign all hopes of a letter car rier's visit until next year, while her more lortunate younger sisters are reveling in the enjoyment of their tbousand trophies. The writer of this valedictory may proceed to sweep from his desk tbe loads of touching valentines alleged to have been sent him by heart-broken members of the less brittle sex, and the remainder of the office can look on the operation with pangs of envy. Valentine's Day is now a sadly degener ated anniversary. In tbe days of our re spected great-grandparents the custom was for some three-score maids and bachelors to form a sort of lottery and draw for partners. Tbe maiden whose name was drawn by a luck-tempting swain became his valentine. It sometimes came hard on the youth, though, lor he was expected to give his lady various little treats and presents. Why is not this really pretty custom revived nowa days? It would tie an admirable substitute for the present silly way of honoring the Lupercalia. Inquiry at tbe postoffice elicited the fact that tbe number of valentines sent this year was much smaller than those sent last year. Only very cheap valentines were sent, and a general falling off is noticed in the pur veyors to Cupid. 10 THE WEATHEB.

Having thus allayed the vigilance of all the other creditors, the combination pro ceeded in the management of the estatej in connection with the Assignee, John H. Bailey, for the sole and exclusive benefit and advantage of its members. All oi the steps taken in the execution of the design these exceptants are not able to state, be cause ot the secrecy Dreserved, but the result is that now, at the end of the administra tion of the trust, all the assets ot the assign ors have gone into the pockets of the few creditors who were in the combination, and there is practically nothing to distribute among tbe other creditors. From the records. A Chance to Bav Fine Trotting Stock.

Bailey Sacrifices the Estate, By these means all competitive bidding for the said properties was suppressed, and both of said rolling mills were sold to said combination for the sum of $26,000, subject to a mortgage indebtedness, upon both prop erties, ot not more than (665,000. The said price was a wholly inadequate one, as the Millvale mill alone was worth in tbe market at least $1,000,000, and your ex ceptants are inlormed and believe that since the sale of said properties to the aforesaid combination the purchasers have been of fered 200,000 Tor tbe Clinton mill alone, subject to its proportion of tbe mortgage in debtedness aforesaid, and have contracted to sell the same for said sum.

STEEL IMPROVING. A Eenewed Disposition to Anticipate Be gairements Shown. EAILROAD EARNINGS FOE JANUAET. Tbe Speculative Hariet Bars Hot Tended Upward During the Week, rA moderate improvement in the state of general trade at several points is reported, with coal shares steadier with an improving inquiry for iron and steel. Crygoods job bers are active, while copper and tin are quoted lower. NewToek, February 14. Special tele grams to Bradstreet's this week report a moderate improvement in the state ot gen eral trade at several points, notably at San Francisco, Kansas City, Omaha, Cincinnati, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia. This is noticeable in the movement of groceries, drygoods, drags, boots and shoes and build ing materials, and in an improved inquiry in Eastern iron circles. At Philadelphia there is a better demand for manufactured fabrics, excepting woolens, and at Omaha collections are improving. In California farmers are rapidly shipping their wheat to avoid payment of taxes, and wheat exports at San Francisco are expected to be free until March 1. Interior trade tributary to St Louis is checked by heavy wagouroads. Cattle are off 2030o at the West, and bogs 10c with.no immediate improvement in pros pect. Hog products at the East are qniet, and prices barely steady. The decline in the demand for silver from India results in a decrease of 3 cents per ounce in the bullion price of that metal during tbe week. The New York stock market has been dull, and prices have been quite irregular. Sugar certificates were most active at a good advance. The threat ened cut in Western rail rates caused some depression. The coal shares were steadier alter the report that producers will restrict the coal output to 2,000,000 tons per month this and next month. The narrowness of stock speculation prevented the decrease in bank surplus reserves from having much effect. Bonds generally are weaker. BAILBOAD EA1UUNGS FOE JANTABY. January gross earnings oi 146 railroad companies reported to Bradstreet's aggregate $33,190,482, with a total mileage of 81,003, against $29,193,515 and a mileage of 78,975 in January last year, a gain in earnings "of nearly 13.7 per cent and in mileage of 2.5 per cent. , Flour is depressed, prices are shaded and exports smaller. Wheat was s lower on heavy sales, but reacted on Friday. Lower Indian corn rail rates and pressure of supplies resulted in free dealings and a de cline oi c. Available stocks of wheat east of the Rockies February 8 aggregate 47,513. 000 bushels, a decrease of 2,177,000 bushels for the week. Indian corn stocks were about 1,000,000 bushels heavier than on February 1. Exports of wheat (and flour as wheat), both coasts, this week, as wired to Bradstreet's, equal 1,517,775 bushels, against 2,214,917 bushels last week, and 1, 270,785 in the like week in 1889. The total exported July 1 to date is 63,550,473 bush els, against 60,726,285 bushels in a like por tion of 1888-89. At last there ii reported an improving in quiry for iron and steel, bnt thus far prices have not been affected by it. A renewed disposition to anticipate requirements is shown at Eastern iroq,?nd steel centers, but details are not mentioned. The total quan tity of Bessemer steel rails made in tbe United States by mills producing their own ingots, in 1889, is officially reported at 1,644,234 net tons, 102,145 tons in excess of 1888. Copper is nominally unchanged at 14o for lake ingot, bat sales are only made at 14c. SBTGOODS JOBBEES ACTIVE. New York and Boston drygoods jobbers are more active, and the movement of ginghams, prints and soft-wool dress goods show it, while men's wear woolens and clothing show a slight gain. Prices are firm, with some makes of domestic cottons tending higher. Baw wool is dull and eas ier in price on slow manufacturing demand. California, Territorial and pulled wools are Jc lower at Boston; fine Ohio wools are strongest. Baw cotton is l-163-16c higher on good demand, lighter crop movement and increased prominence of short-crop es timates. Sugar has been more firmly held this week, and prices are l-16e higher, under a fairly active demand. There bas been a fair consumptive demand for coffee, but speculatively tbe market is dull. Higher prices at Brazilian ports check business. Business failures reported to Bradstreet's are decreasing each week, amounting to 213 in the United States this week against 259 last week and 311 tbis week last year. Canada bas 46 tbis week against 57 last week. The total number of failures in the United States since January is 2,100,against 2,182 in 1889. B. O. DUN & CO.'S WEEKLTBEVDW. B. Q. Dun Ss Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Tbe business outlook is somewhat more favorable. While a large amonntof money has gone into tbe treasury, rates here remain moderate and the market easy. AH interior markets are also easier, for while Kansas City is firm at usnal rates the demand there is moderate, and. although the Milwaukee market is fairly active at 6 to 8 per cent, the supply is adequate. At St. Louis, De troit and Pittsburg the market is easy at 6 to 7 per cent; at Philadelphia rather stagnant at hi to 6 per cent; at Boston better supplied at EJ4 to 6)4 per cent; at all other points the market is comparatively easy. Beports as to the collections are satisfactory, with few exceptions; Milwaukee notes only moder ately good collections, Kansas City rather quiet, Cleveland rather slow and Detroit slow from country towns. There is still no really adverse change in the iron business, and tbe weekly output of furnaces February 1 was 173,651 tons, against 174,038 January 1, a gain of 16.6 per cent over the output of a year ago. The demand for pig does not yet indicate a probable ad vance in price, and at Pittsburg Bessemer is a little weaker, but other iron rather strpng er, because of tbe increase of 12 per cent con ceded in wages of coke workers. This, with a reduction of 30 cents in Western freights, makes a difference in tavor of Southern and against Western producers, but there are now reports or a probable strike in tbe Ala bama coke works. There is no snap in the demand for bar iron, and the market for plates is dull and disappointing, with no great activity in structural iron; nails dull and old rails lower. COPPEB AND TIN LOWEB. Copper and tih are lower abroad, selling here at 14 cents for lake and 20 cents for straits, and lead is lower at about $3 80. No relief appears in the coal business, and the February tonnage bas been reduced by agreement to 2,000,000, tbe output in Janu ary having been 320,000 tons below that of last year. Tbe textile industries present a more hope ful aspect. With a steady and strong de mand for goods, cotton manufacturers have increased their takings of cotton largely since January 1, so that the aggregate now exceeds that of the last crop year to date. There is a better demand for woolen goods also, though manufacturers pursue a conser vative course. Tbe speculative markets have not tended upward during tbe past week. In wheat, with sales or 22,000,000 bnsbels here, there has been a decline of fi of a cent, and in corn, with sales of 16,000,000 bushels, a de- JTKW ADVXBTISE3EENTS.

Exports of merchan dise for half of February nave oeen iniiyup to those of last year, but from this time some excess ot imports over exports is probable.
