TZXZGUAK TO THX SISrATClM Lexengtok, Kt., February 16. The great sales of trotting stock are now in fall blast, and the horse marts of this city will continue to be bristling scenes of activity from this date nntil the 1st of March. Strangers from all parts of the country are here attending the sales and doing the Bine grass region, which, owing to the extremely open winter, presents the same beautiful green appearance as it usually does in May. Among the prominent horsemen here are the following well-known gentlemen: J. L Case and his son Jackson, of Racine, "Wis.; E. A. Collins, Milan, Tenn.: G. B. Goodell, Cheyenne, Wyo. T.; M. L. Hare, Indian apolis, Ind.; C. W. "Williams, Independ ence, la.; S. J. Look, Henry Simons and Steve Maxwell, Louisville, Ky.; Br. F. C. Fowler, Modus, Conn.; Judson H. Clark, Elmira, If. Y.; Dr. S. C.

At the Bras field Kale this week Sam Bryant, Che well-known Louisville turfman of Proctor Knott and General Harding fame, purchased several bjVbred trottine colts. In early days BryrfTl patron of the trotting turf, and tb AMrve on his part may mean tnat he intends reiuncing his ?llejriance to the thoroughbred and returning to his old love. The report sent out that Mr. Jndson H. Clark has purchased the creat California stallion Alcazar, 20. to take the place in the stud made vacant by the destruction of Bell Boy, proves to have been unfounded. He did make overtures for the purchase of the horse, but the trade was not consummated, and as he has now bought Sunol's brother, Wellington, it is not likely he will bny Alcazar. Placing Wel lington in the hands of Macey Brothers, proves Mr. Clark holds these young men in high es teem and that the recent fire has not shaken his confidence in their ability to take rjood care of horses. In an interview Mr. Clark said con cerning the fire: "I regard the fire as one of those unavoidable calamities like that which nearly Bwept away all that was dear to Secre tary Tracy, and which the utmost care and watcbfnlness seemed powerless to prevent. Although Bell Boy's death is a heavy loss to me, I am satisfied it was simply an accident or anyone else to stand off." In .Wellington J .Mr. uarc ininas ne nas a cooa norse one which will in time prove himself worthy of bis relationship to the sensational bunoL and fitly wear the mantel Bell Boy so tragically laid down. One of the features of the opening day of the Brasfield sale was the exhibition ot the stall ions Robert McGregor. 2:17. and Bonnie Mc Gregor, 2USK. They were regarded with great interest by the throng of horsemen, as it was the first time that sire and son, with anything like such fast records, were ever paraded in a show ring together. In appearance they very much resemble each other, their relationship being apparent at a glance. Clark's Chicago JZevicw, a monthly horse magazine, was purchased a few days since by a stock company, and on March 1 will be con verted into a weekly paper devoted alUce to the running and the trotting turf. Mr. George H. Morgan, long of the Chicago Morteman, has been made the editor of the new paper. He Is here this week, and expresses himself as much pleased with his new field of labor. He has many friends in Kentucky, and the Chicago Weekly Hone Review, as it will nowbe called, will no doubt get its full share of Bluegrass business. Tbis gives Chicago three weekly horse papers, which record is only excelled by one city in the United States New York. WELUNOTOIT'S PKICZ. Thus far all effors to ascertain the price paid for Sunol's brther, Wellington, by Judson H. Clark, have proved f utile,both buyer ana seller refusing to give the information. It is said, however.that the figure is higher than any ever paid for a trotting stallion which had no track record, and like Wellington was sold on bis ap pearance, breeding and future promises. Al ready his services have been engaged for a number of high-class mares and he will be given a chance second to no untried horse ever soliciting patronage in Kentuck). By pur chasing him Mr. Clark proves himself not only a real patron of the trotting-bred horse, but a man who allows no misfortune to dampen his ardor. J. M. and J. . Lee, Danville, Ky have sold to an Eastern party for 600. a 2-year-old bay colt by C F. Clay, 2J8, which is said to be of more than usual promise. Tbis youngster's sire has booked to him tbis season 40 mares, all of which are either daughters or granddaughters on their sire's Side to George Wilkes. At the Cecil farm, C F. Cla's home, his 2-year-old daugh ter, Clonne. who went a half last season in 1:17, has been taken up and will be a prominent con testant this vear in all the 2-year-old stakes, as will also another filly by biiu out of a mare bv New York, which is owned by Warren Ruself, of Danville. The latter filly is credited with a half-mile last year in 1:15, and is now said to be very much improved by her let-up. Clorineis a remarkably well-Tired Ally, her dam being by Onward and ont ot tbat good mare. Kinuy Robinson, 220J. bhe is thus heir to a sensational career on the turf, and her owners are confident she will wear the lanrel wreath of the 2-year-olds in Kentucky this year. ABOUT CEIT DATIS. Prince Wilkes' ex-driver and trainer, the skillful Crit Davis, while having a good stable of horses this season, has nothing which has shown sufficiently well to go down the Grand Circuit, and as a consequence he will likeiy confine his operations this season to Kentucky tracks. He has now under bis care nearly a score of promis ing youngsters, but it requires time for them to J reach maturity, and, as be never hurries ahorse to his best efforts when ) oung, he will doubtless be one of tbe absentees from tbe sulky at the Cleveland, Buffalo and other big tracks. Of all the horses now under his care he regards Bon nie Wilmore the highest, and gives his opin ion that in a few seasons this grandson of Htrathniore will make his presence felt throughout the land. Bonnie Wilmore's record. 22 made last year as a 3-5 ear-old, is no cri terion of his speed, as last season, in a race won by Greenview Belle, he was timed a mile out in 2:20. Li Davis' hands his future, barring accident, is assured, and he will likely make a name second to tnat of no horse ever developed by tbis Kentncky wizard, in spite of tbe fact be enjoys the distinction of having given three performers a mark of 2:16 or better, tbey being Prince Wilkes 2d. Phil Thompson 2:16. and Manil Messenger 2.16. Reports from Madison county speak in glow; lng terms of Empire Wilkes, a 4-year-old stal lion Mr William L (sire of Axtell, 2:121, it hav ing leaked ont tbat near tbe dine of last year his owner sent him a mile in 225, and that, too, with scarcely any track preparation, althongh during the tuinincr he trotted a race at tbe Richmond fair, but was distanced in the sec ond beat. It is said tbe parties controlling him are keeplnc him dark, it being their inten tion to sweep the green classes with bim this season, as those who know the horse believe he Is capable of a mile out, when in condition, in 220 or better. In appearance he resembles AxteU. and Is a natural trotter, requiring no weights, and in fact not even a heavy shoe. Under Crit Davis' management the track of tbe Harrodsbnrg Association over which he trains is being graded and every hollow filled and the hills which obstructed the view removed. This has always been one of the slowest tracks in Kentucky, but tbe Improvements now going on will make it equally as fast as the best. Great efforts will be made to have a fine meeting there next summer, it being the intention to largely increase the valueo f the purses, which will be so arranged as to accommodate all classes of trotters from tbe 8-mtnute horse down. It is likely that Colonel Jack Chlnn. the well known running turfman, will be offered and will accept the position of starter on the Ken tucky Trotting Circuit this season, which will embrace meetings at upward ot a dozen places in this Stats next summer, as well as on the Cincinnati, Om and Busbville, Ind- tracks which two will probably join the Kentncky Circuit. The old style of allowing the pre siding judge to fill this position, whose only claim to the distinction is that he is a member of tbe association over whose track tbe trots take place, bas become unsatisfactory to patrons of the trottingturf, and on this account a professional starter will be called into ser vice. Colonel Chinn has bad considerable ex perience at the business and would certainly give satisfaction. CAIN. THE STAE PITCHEKS. Umpire Barnum Talk About Jobn Clarkson and Tim Keefr. rsrXCTAt. TELIOKXM TO TBI DISPATCH. I Louis-tciae, February 16. Umpire George W. Barnum, a member of the "Legal Wreck" Company, will sever his connection with tbat organization shortly to pay a visit to his home in New York, where he will remain abont one week. Mr. Barnum will then go to Columbus and umpire the exhibition games to be played by that club. In the course of a conversation this afternoon, relative to the best pitchers in the League, the veteran umpire said: "Clarkson's best and most effective ball is his fast raise ball, which comes toward the batter perfectly straight, and when within 15 or 20 feet of tbe plate its speed seems to increase and it raises with a peculiar skip or jump. Another ball which is almost equally as effective, and many players consider it even more so, is his high drop ball. It is slow and is delivered with a deliberate motion, when within five feet of the batter's head it drops across his breast and shoots over the plate. It is an exceedingly diffi cult baU to hit. When it is hit fair it goes into tbe air, and the only way a batter can strike it with any success is for the batsman to chop down on it. Not two batters out of ten, however, can accomplish that. Clarkson bas also a slow ball delivered with tbe same motion as his speedy ball. But Tim Keefe has the best slow ball of any pitcher in the profession. It de ceives the best batters in the League." HOT DISHEARTENED. Walter Spalding Talks Hopefully Abont the Brotherhood nnd Lencne. Walter Spalding arrived in the city yester day from New York, where he is now making his home. Mr. Spalding did not appear at all disconcerted about the Brotherhood, and said that so far as he could see the League was in no worse Hole at present than it bad been on several occasions in the past, whenlt came out "Tight side up with care." "In New York, Boston, Brooklyn and Phila delphia,'' said Mr. Spalding, "sentimentappears to be pretty evenly divided between tbe Players' and the National Leagues. In Brook lyn the League has a shade the best of it, while in New York and Boston it's about a stand-off. Chicago? Oh, I guess the League will be all right here. To my mind Anson has got to gether a pretty fine lot ot colts, and he has turned out snro fine teams from raw material in the past. The fact tbat some people hold tbe team cheapl; rather pleases me. It always takes a few weeks to get a club into plajing condition, and when an organization is lauded to the skies before tbe season opens the public is liable to expect too much from it. and weaken if it runs up against a losing streak of luck." Chicago Timet. MULUOOiN EXPLAINS. He GIvea HU Opinion Rrcnrdlng the Death of Pnglllut Jnmes. New Orleans, February 16. Muldoon, Kilrain and party reached here to-night from Texas. They were recovered from the excite ment which resulted from the killing of James by Bezenah in Dallas, especially since they have founi that no legal proceedings are likely to result from it. The party did well in Texas, and say the Texans treated them splen didly. Mnldoon assumes all responsibility for the James accident, as Kilrain did not approve of this rongn figbting, bnt was overruled by him and Cleary. Ho thinks tbat James was so ex cited in tbe fight, and became so exhausted, as to succumb to very moderate punishment, as he was not injured in the fighting. Kilrain thinks that James died in a fit. Muldoon and Kilrain have consented to man age tbe exhibition of the Southern Athletic Club Mondav. There will be three glove lights Kilrain and Corbett, Cleary and Smith, and Bezenah and Charley Johnson, who fonght Andy Bowen last Sunday. Cnprntn Brown's Stable. Captain 8. H. Brown, the Pittsburg iron and coal magnate, expects to have a small but strong stable for tbis season. Senonta is the crack of the lot, followed by Buddhist. Re porter and Cortex, three or four three-year-olds and half a dozen two-year-olds. The four-year-olds, two three-year-olds and several youngsters are wintenugat Westchester, and tbe remainder are at his Kentucky farm, from whence they will be brought early next month. The Westchester lot look in excellent condi tion. The Captain has two first-class jockeys in George and Alex. Covington, tbe former riding at 100 pounds and the latter GO. When it comes to riding to orders George Covington has few equals. JVeic York JPrets. Canton Bird Wo a. rSFZCXU. TZLZORJLK TO THE DISATCH I Massillon, O., February 16. A crowd of about 200 sports gathered in an abandoned slaughter house, near the city limits last night and enjoyed tbe most exciting cocking main yet held in this section. A fine string of eight birds from Canton were pitted against birds owned in this city. There were five battles, four of which were won by Canton, three birds being killed in tbe pit. The main battle was for 100 and each of the others for $50, and about 600 changed hands on side bets. Formed n Company. A company headed by Captain Lew Clarke has been formed to run passenger boats be tween Sixth street bridge and Exposition Park during tbe ball games. The Captain had a con ference with tbe local Brotherhood officials on Saturday on the matter, but nothing definite was done. The parties will meet again on Wednesday or Thursday, when it is expected that final arrangements will be made to com. mence tbe venture. One or two tests have been made, and a boat can go from end to end of the single journey in nine minutes. Cnrtipy to the Front Acnln. Loitdos, February 16. Jemmy Carney, of Birmingham, issues a challenge to fight the winner of the McAuliffe and Carroll prize fight for from 500 to 1,000 a side, tbe Police Gazette belt and lightweight championship of the world, and will give or take 100 for ex penses. The Police Gazette or Sporting JUfe, London, to be final stakeholder. Bill Baxter will fight any featherweight in America for 500 a side. Daniels in Form. Manager Hecker received a letter from Pitcher Daniels yesterday. Tbe latter states tbat be is in excellent form and is practising hard every day. Mr. Hecker also received a letter from the Syracuse club asking for terms. It is likely tbat tbe Stars will visit us again. Sporting Note. Jack Foqaety, the pugilist, is one of the political bustlers in Philadelphia, It is stated that John Tener. tbe local pitcher, will certainly play with the new Pittsburg club. Sevebai. interesting local sporting events are arranged to take place next Saturday, Washington's Day. Captain Ai Bakdle, tbe famous trap shot, was married last week to Miss Margaret B. Linger, of Cincinnati. Tbe winner of the Priddy-McCIelland foot race will likely be matched to run anybody in the world a three-mile race. Jem Smith and Jack Baldock are to fight for 1,000 a side within the next three months. The man that can get tbe biggest crowd of toughs on his side will be returned the winner. "Nusc" Wallace, the champion English bantam, Is expected to reach Boston in tbe spring. He will try to make a match with either McCarthy or JMxon. He has a good record of victories, and Joyce, tbe English pugilist, says he will make things lively for either of tbe American bantams. Ton Daly, the catcher of the Brooklyn club, and Ned Williams, of tbe local Brotherhood team, left last night for Hot Springs. Daly said tbat he had signed with the League be cause President Byrne had always treated him fairly and because he thought it his duty to do so. Further, the League was willing to pay him more money than the Brotherhood. "The talk about sentiment In this fight," said Daly, "is all bosh. It's simply a question of dollars and cents." Chicago Times. A SCOEE BimiED. . Falling ot a Gallery in a London Church Last Night An Alarming Interrup tion to a Peaeefnl Service The Work of Rescue. BT CABLE TO TBS DISPATCH. London, February 16. An accident of an alarming character occurred to-night during divine services at the Bromley Inde pendent Church. Across the end of the build ing, over the entrance, was fixed a balcony capable of holding 60 or 70 persons. "While the pastor was reading the lessons, the gallery, with scarcely any warn ing, suddenly collapsed, precipitat ing its occupants into the " body of the church. The cloud . of dust obscured the view of the remainder of the congrega tion for a few minutes, but when it cleared away it became obvious that a number of persons were buried beneath the ruins of the gallery. The fallen debris caused an obstruction at the entrance and 'pre vented any assistance being rendered from the' outside, but willing hands were soon at work clearing away the fallen timbers and extricating tbe unfortunate occupants of the fallen eallerv from their perilous position. The gallery was pretty well filled at the time of its fall, and about 20 persons were buried. The work of removing the debris occupied some time. When this was accomplished it was found that though most of the vic tims of the accident were only severely bruised and cut, five had received serious injuries, which iu some instances may prove fatal. One young lady was unconscious when extricated. Two medical gentlemen in the congregation attended to injured, of whom several had broken legs and arms while the others bad internal in juries. THE .THOUSAND ISLAND BRIDGE. How Much It May Mean to Canada, If Not to Uncle Sam. Ottawa, February 16. 'While our masters and yours are busily erecting custom bouses along tbe borders between Canada and the United States, with a view of lessen ing the intercourse between two common wealths, the perverse inhabitants thereof are busily engaged in overcoming what ever obstacles nature presents to that inter course. It is with that object in view that the Thousand Island bridge project has been submitted to the Canadian Parliament, and its projectors will in due course ask in corporation from the United States Con gress. The proposed bridge will extend from some point between Kockport and Gan anoque on the Canadian side of the river, and between Alexandria Bay and Clayton on the American side. The river at that point is thickly studded with little rocky pine clad outcroppings ot tne Aiaurentian formation. "On these stepping stones," said.Mr. B. C. Carter, one of the projectors, "our bridge will walk over (o the American side of the river. The large double island known as Wellesley Island will be used as much as possible, and wherever there are navigable channels there will be a swinging span in the bridge. The height above high water mark will be 15 feet or more. Of course our plans will have to be approved by the engineers of both Governments. Bates of toll paid by railways using tbe bridge and all other snch matters will be fixed by Government. Our railway and bridge will be the favorite means of reaching the hundreds of summer resorts that are scattered up and down the Thousand Islands. Pittsburg Guests Present. rSPZCIAL TELEGRAM TO TUX DISPATCH. Ne w York, February 16. here was a fashionable gathering in Hebrew society to day when Jacob Cohen and Essie Cohen were married. Among the guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Jackson, oi Pittsburg; J. Goldsmith, oi "Washington, and Jacob Isaacs, of Richmond. iCommunleated.l HOT SHOT FROM STAYT0N. HE COMES BACK AT HIS ANONYMOUS ACCTJSEOH. An Appeal to the Record and CnaTlence to Debate Not Too Young to Serve In tbe War. It may seem unnecessary to pay any at tention to the third-hand statements purport ing to come from Mr. John Wjlhelm, Jr., which are detailed in a paid communication in one of tbe Sunday papers. Mr: Wilhelm's knowledge of the facts would certainly pre vent him from making such untruthful as sertions. I welcome the opportunity, how ever, to expose certain untruths which my enemies have freely circulated on the streets, but which tbey have not heretofore had tbe courage to put in print. In the first place, while I am conceded to be a "good fellow," I am charged with the crime of being a young man. I am not a gray-beard, perhaps, but 1 was quite old enough to shoulder a musket and earn a commission during the Civil War. It is asserted that I am distributing a cir cular accusing the Republican Councils of extravagance and mismanagement. I have no knowledge of any such circular. I am accused of, by my vote and acts, as sisting the ring, and of voting for Mr. Hunter lor President of Common Council. The fact of the matter, as the records will show, is that I have been opposed to Mr. Hunter quite as often as I have aereed with bim. I voted ior him oc personal grounds, and because he had made a good presiding officer. Nearly every Democratic member of Councils have supported bim at the same time. In the second-class charter legislation with which I am alleged to have been con nected I could not possiblv have had a hand, as I was absent from the city when Councils voted on the qnestion. The charge tbat I voted to saddle an ex pensive filtering scheme on tbe city of Al legheny is absolutely false. The sub-committee ot Councils, of which I was chair man, simply recommended what in their judgment was tbe best and most economical plan to secure a pure water supply to the city of Allegheny. Mr. Wilhelm is alleged to have said that a large number of Democrats In Allegheny would not vote for me. Does Mr. "Wilhelm not know that after having been talked of for weeks as a candi date for the Democratic nomination for Mayor I received tbe full Democratic vote 4 at the primary election, ana tbe support of every delegate in a nominating convention in which everv district of the city was represented? It there had been any dis satisfaction with my candidacy in tbe Democratic party would it not have devel oped itself at the bate of my npmination? I ask the voters of Allegheny City if it is a manly part to thus stab me in the back at tbe expense of truth and fair play on the eve ot the election, when it was' believed that I would not have time to make a full and ade quate reply. If I was the candidate of a ring, would the best citizens of Allegheny be so active in my support? v I challenge the record to prove that I have not been a faithful representative of the people dnring my term in Councils, and I warn the public against farther calumnies and misrepresentations of an unscrupulous opposition. I am willing and anxious to meet any of any opponents or their representatives' in a public debate on the issues ot the campaign, including the record of myself and the other candidates for the Mayoralty. There is yet time to accept the challenge. Very respectfully, I. B. Sxaytov. MURDERS OS SUNDAY. A New York Expressman Called From His House and Shot Dead. HIS WIPE FATALLY INJDBED. The Slayer Then Sends a Ballet Through ' Bis Own Head and Dies. FATAL QUARREL AMONG COLORED HEN James Miller, Stalbtd Twice la the Heck, Bans Up stairs and Falls Dead. Sunday was a day of murderous crime in Hew York. A discarded lover shoots a man dead, seriously wounds a woman and then sends a bullet crashing through his own brain. During a quarrel among colored people a man was instantly killed by being stabbed twice in the neck. New York, Febrnary 16. This has been a day of murderous crime in this city. Isaac Jacob, a resident of Brooklyn, killed Herman Boyozinsky at daybreak in a stable at 47 Eldgc street. From there he went to the murdered man's residence at 61 Bidge street to kill his wife, Johanna. She was coming through the door as be approached and be shot her with a revolver. The ball entered her neck on the left side close to the jugular vein. The woman's son, Otto, bounded from the room and leaped at the murderer of his father before a second shot could be fired. Jacob turned and fled,hold ing the still smoking revolver in his hand. He ran toward Broome street, and when near the corner Jacob turned on the young man and aimed the revolver at his head. Otto dodged behind a wagon and Jacob, seeing two police officers approaching, placed the muzzle of the revolver to his own temple and fired. He fell to the ground with the blood pouring from the wound and died in a lew minutes. Mrs. Boyozinsky ran toward the Delancey street police station with the blood oozing from her wound. She had just strength to reach it when she fell unconscious on the floor. The police followed her bloody trail, and were just in time to witness the last act of the tragedy. VARIOUS CAUSES ADVANCED. Yarions causes led to the shooting. The trouble began three years ago. At that time Jacob is said to have smuggled (7,000 worth of dia'mouds into this country. Fearing discovery Jacob turned the diamonds over to the murdered man to keep for bim. When the danger was over Jacob asked for the re turn of the diamonds. Boyozinsky, it is said, refused to cive them up. This led to a quarrel and Jacob threatened the other's tile. Another cause is to be fonnd in the fact that Jacob was enamored of Boyozinsky's niece. His suit prospered until it was learned (hat he had a wife and children liv ing with him in Brooklyn. Jacob admitted this when questioned by the girl's relatives. Boyozinsky refused him the house, and Jacob became enraged when he continued to call, and insisted to marry her. Frequent and bitter quarrels ensued between the Boyozinskys and Jacob, and the latter swore he would get even with them. Then they refused to allow him to enter the house at all, and Jacob became furious. Jacob went to the house at "4:30 o'clock tbis morning. He knocked on the door and told the Boyozinskys that somebody was trying to steal their horse. The elder Boyozinsky is an express man. He dressed himself.and, accompanied hy Jacob, crossed the street and entered the stable, which was just over the way. SHOT THROUGH THE BREAST. In the stable yard Jacob placed a revolver against Boyozinsky's breast and tired. The ball went through Boyozinsky's breast, and he fell dead without a word. Jacob coolly put tbe revolver in his poctel, shut and locked the stable door and entered the Boyozinskys bouse. Mrs. Boyozinsky in the meantime had become suspicious that all was not right. She was about to start after her husband when she met Jacob, and was shot as already stated. The body of themurdered man and ths suicide were taken to the station house and tbe wounded woman was taken to the hos pital in a precarious coadition. The bullet entered her neck and was taken out half way down her back. Both of tbe dead men were about 45 years old and Mrs. Boyozinsky is 60. An ax was found near Boyozinsky's dead body, and it is supposed that Jacob intended to use it if the bullet did not do the work quick. enough. On Jacob's dead body was found a letter written in very bad Englisb. It said that he was born in Russia and was a citizen of the United States. He told in it in a rambling manner of having been swin dled out of money by a number of parties in this city and of law suits in which he was engaged and which profited him nothing. STABBED TWICE IN THE KECK. The Victim Screams for Help, Bans Cp Stnlri and Dies Inttnntlr. Nett York, February 16. James Miller, 33 years old, Morris Miller, 23 years old, and William H. Lawrence, all colored, lived in a tenement house at 175 Third ave nue. The Millers are not relatives. Last weet a young colored man named Stephen 'son, who is related to Morris Miller, was ar rested for passing counterfeit silver dollars. It was said Lawrence had given the infor mation leading to his arrest, and Morris Miller threatened to get even with him. Shortly after midnight this morning Mrs. James Miller became very ill, and Law rence went after her husband, who was in a neighboring cigar store. As the two returned they stumbled against Morris Miller, who was concealed behind the front door. A quarrel ensued and James Miller was stabbed twice in the neck. He screamed with agony, ran up stairs to his rooms and fell dead on the floor. Morris Miller was found by the police concealed in a closet on the third floor of the honse. In the closet wai found a blood-stained knife. Morris Miller pleads self-defense as an excuse ior the kill ing. PROBABLY A DOUBLE MURDER. An Ohio Spenk-Easy Proprietor Ve a Re volver WIib'Fatol iiUcct. rSFXCIAI. TXXEOllAX TO THI DISPATCH. 1 Columbus, February 16. The village of Georgesville, 12 miles west of Columbus, is greatly excited over what will probably be a double murder, committed this morning. The only saloon in the place is kept by Thomas Byan, in spite of. local option, which has been adopted by a vote of the village. A number of young countrymen were in Byan's saloon playing cards and pool and a general fight ensued over a disputed game. Byan employed a revolver and it seems fired indiscriminately. Napoleon Severn, aged 19, son of a prominent farmer, was shot, the ball taking effect between the eyes. He ran abont 20 yards from the saloon door and dropped dead. The Severns reside at Spring Hill, only a few miles distance. Joshua Stevens, another voung man, who was trying to, get his brother to go home, and who was not engaged in the game, was shot in the neck about two inches above the collar bone. The wound will prove fatal. Byan closed the saloon and has left the country. Negotiating for Dock Facilities. rSFXCIAti TELXOXAM 10 TBX DISrATCK.1 Erie, Febrnary 16.

A Venomous Wlng-ster That Inhabits New Gnlnoa Mnrshes-Tho Victim Singe and Dances A Iftlsslonai? Ken One of the Species. Mobile, February 16. Bev. B. M. Mas terson, who bas just returned from New Guinea, where he ha; been for the last seven years as missionary from this city, in a recent conversation with a correspondent, told of a most remarkable bird he had seen in that country. The bird, which is called by the natives the Bp N'Doob, meaning the bird of death, produces by its bite a madness ending in death. They are very rare, and are fast disappearing as the coun try becomes more civilized. 'Mr. Masterson had no opportunity of per sonally observing the effects of its bite, but was credibly informed that the victim is al most instantly seized with violent pains in the member bitten, which pains soon spread over the entire body, but are especially ex cruciating in the bowels. Iiostr of sight fol lows and rush of blood to the bead. The limbs quiver convulsively, and a white, offensive froth breaks out of the month. A sort of frenzy takes possession of the sufferer, in which he shrieks and howls, occasionally laughing uproariously, and capering to his own chanting or singing, until his strength exhausted he sinks to the ground, when he becomes unconscious and rigid in every limb, with his teeth firmly locked as in tetanus. ' Mr. Masterson describes tbe rpir as small and about tbe size of tbe common pigeon, but of a slenderer, longer build, and of a peculiar gray plumage lacking entirely the glossy appearance of feathers. Its tail is extraordinarily long and runs to a sharp point, ending in a blood red tip. No other color is to be seen when it is not in flight, but the extended wings show bright yellow beneath, sometimes varied with an intense lusterless black. Its bill is very powerful, though thin and long, and is perectly straight, except at the end, where it curves sharply with an abrupt dip. The feet are coal black and resemble some- what those of the African parrot, but have very sharp nails curving almost into fish hooKs. This singular bird is to be found only on the reedy shores of the low-lying lake of New Uuinea, which are often only immense stagnant ponds or marshes. Tbe eggs are laid in the slimv, moist earth close to the water's edge and are most beautifully varie gated, being of a rich crimson, dappled with blue, gold and White, but are very small and perfectly round. The male of tbe rpir n'doot has no note, but the hen, which is considerably the larger of the two, gives a peculiar, long-drawn cry, which has a piercing, melancholy sound, but which is repeated at short intervals, but continu ously. Mr. Masterson succeeded in snaring one of the birds and confined it in a cage, in tending to bring it borne as a curiosity, but it pined awav in captivity, literally starv ing itself to death, as it refused to partake of any food whatever. Unacquainted him self with the art of taxidermy, the mission ary found no one in tbat country capable of preserving it for him, so he was forced to throw away the specimen. ' A FBIGHTEUL FINANCIER. That' Whnt Seems to Have Been tbe Blatter Wlih Treasurer Davis, oi Roch ester, N. Y. Krslsnailon for a Shortage of 8100,000. rSPECIAI. TELEOHAU TO TIIX SISFATCH.l Bochesteb, N. Y., February 16. City Treasurer John A. Davis, whose cash ac count is short upward of $60,000, has for many years been one of the most prominent Bepublicans . of the connty, and was three times elected to the office he has just resigned. His party friends are rallying to his support and are endeavoring to raise enough money to "make tbiugs all right," believing that in this way the party can.be best served. r A meeting of the Common Council will be held to-morrow morning, when the resigna tion Mr. Dayis has placed in the hands of the Finance Committeee will doubtless be accepted. . The investigation of Mr. Davis' ac counts has led to tbe exposure of the generally loose business meth ods prevailing in the City Treasurer's office. The apparent shortage, instead of being $60,000, is over $100,000, or more than twice the amount of Mr. Davis' bond; but something like $40,000 is in the form of taxes marked paid, but not vet collected. presumably as a favor to the City Treas urer's friends. The accountant says that most of this in debtedness of individuals to the City Treas urer "is believed to be good;" but that it can be collected by the city, in case Mr. Davis turns such accounts over to his suc cessor, is doubtful. SATED HIS FATHER'S ASSASSIN. A Southern Sheriff Who Didn't Believe In the Southern Methods. rErEClAL TILXQRAM TO THI DISPATCH. 1 Columbia, S. C, February 16. It is not often that the issue between duty and desire is drawn so sharply as it was to day in the mind of Sheriff flood, ot Chester county, this State. Last night his aged father, John Hoodi while strolling homeward after taking tea with his son, was shot down. Green Brown, a negro, was ar rested on suspicion. There was strong cir cumstantial evidence against him, and the citizens generally proposed to lynch him forthwith. But the Sheriff, although overcome with grief, and with wrath in his heart, de termined that tbe law should have its sway. A force of deputies appointed by the Sheriff took the negro from fail and boarded the afternoon train for Columbia, where thev arrived safely this evening. If the Sheriff had remained passive the murderer of bis father would have had a short shrift. ECCLESIASTICAL APPE0TAL Cardinal manning Thinks That Emperor William's Proposals Are Jmt. Berlin, February 16. Cardinal Man ning has written a letter to the Deutsche Re vue with reference to the rescripts of Emperor William. Tbe Cardinal says: "I think tbis imperial act the wisest and worthiest that bas proceeded from any sov ereign of our times. The condition of wage earners in every European country is a grave danger to every European State." After reviewing the hardships ot work men he continue: "On the domestic lite of the people the whole political order of human society reposes. If -the foundation is ruined, what will become of the super structure? The Emperor has shown himself a true, far-sighted statesman." AN EAKLI M0ENISG FIGHT.

CONSIDERED A BLUFF. Ohio Democrats Take "No Stock in the Wickbam-Hoar Moyement. THE STATE TO BE REDISTKICTED In Such a Manner That the Cepnhlicana Cannot Surely Elect MOKE THAN BINE BEPBESMTATIYES. Effect of tbe Feraktr Ballot. Box Forgery on Obit Polities. At Carlisle says the introduction of anti gerrymandering bills in Congress will have no effect on the intention of the Ohio Legis lature to redistrict that State. He calls the Congressional move a bluff. . Al Carlisle, of Ohio, spent Sunday in the city, having just come in from Ohio. He was interviewed by a reporter for The Dis patch concerning some of the salient fea tures of Ohio politics. He was asked: "Will the Wickham or Hoar bills have any effect upon the Democratic Legislature in their preparations to redistrict Ohio?" "None whatever." "How are those bills regarded by the Democratic leaders of the State?" "As simply a bluff, which will not be in dorsed by the better element of the Repub lican party in either the House or Senate." "Do the Democratic leaders regard any proposition to pass such a bill as an in fringement of their rights?" "Clearly so. It would commit the Re publican party of the nation to the present unfair gerrymander of the State, in which the Bepublicans have 16 and the Democrats but 5 Congressmen. To change this unfair condition of affairs and redistrict the State would be in accord with the expressed senti ment of the people, who have elected a Dem ocratic Governor and a Democratic Legisla ture, with the full knowledge that the State would be redistricted fairly by the majority party, making not over 12 Democratic dis tricts and leaving tbe .republicans u. SOME OT THE EFFECTS. "What effect will the redisricting of the State have upon McKinley, Thompson, Qrosvenor and Butterwortb? "It is said that Butterworth has no desire to return to Congress. Stark county, in which McKinley resides, will be put into a strong Democratic district, consisting, prob ably, of Stark, Holmes. Wayne and Summit. In that district McKinley would have no possible chance of being elected. It is reported that, in that event, he will remove to West township, Columbiana county, and become a candi date in that district, which will be largely Republican. But I feel satisfied that there is no truth in the report, as the Bepublicans of Columbiana connty would not indorse any carpet-bag methods of that sort, and especially as the people of tbat district have within their own borders two or three men eminently qualified and anxious to be can didates." "If he refuses to be a candidate in the Democratic district and does not remove, what will be his political future?" "In my opinion, his friends will insist upon making him theBepublican candidate for Governor in 1891." "How about Thompson and Grosvenor?" "About all the bills that have any chance of being passed will place Grosvenor and Thompson in the same district, and there will be a pretty fight between them as to which will secure the nomination. Both are anti-Foraker Bepublicans. Grosvenor, by reason of his activity being the most ob noxious, if nominated 'cannot expect warm support from the Foraker element in the district, among whom is Charles Kurtz, the ex-Governor's private secretary, who is said to wield much influence there. As the dis trict will be largely Republican, the know, edge of ForaKer's personal feeling against Grosvenor would lead many Democrats, on account of Grosvenor's good treatment of Governor Campbell in the recent canvass, to give him a quiet support which would offset any damage done by the Foraker ele ment." "What are the- prospects for an early agreement upon some redisricting bill?" "A bill will be formulated and passed within the next ten days which will be sat isfactory to the party and its leaden in the State and nation." "What effect will the ballot-box forgery investigation have upon Ohio politics?" WILL HELP THE DEMOCRATS. ' "It will be beneficial to the Democracy and disastrous to the Bepublicans. There is a feeling among the Democrats that it was a deep-laid scheme to injure not only Governor Campbell, but the Bepublicans whose names were connected with the forgery. Thinking men of both parties are inclined to believe that Governor Foraker'a actions in connection with the investiga tion at "Washington indicate that he re garded himself as the defendant in the case, and it seems to be the general opinion that, by bis controversies there with Butterworth and Grosvenor, be desired to create the im pression tbat they bad no just cause to feel agerieved at his' treatment of them. The ex-Governor will find that his usual ag gressiveness and his replies to these gentle men will hardly improve the bad predica ment iu which "he finds himself placed in tbis whole affair." "What effect will the investigation bav9 upon Foraker politically?" "It will retire him from the leadership of the Republican party in Ohio. It removes him from the list of available candidates for the presidency, and disorganizes the most daring political machine ever fastened upon the Bepublican party in the State." "Will the government of any of the large cities be reorganized by the Legislature?" "Home rule will be. restored to the people of the cities as promised by Governor Camp bell during the campaign. In Cincinnati, where the people suffered more from the abuse of the Foraker boards than perhaps anywhere else, those boards, in a very lew days, will be replaced by a majority and minority rep resentation of competent citizens, who will give to tbe people of that city the kind of government for which they expressed a desire in the very Iarse majority given at tbe last election for the Democratic party. Legislation to carry out these changes has been delayed by sickness and death among the members of tbe ma jority in the General Assembly, and by Governor Campbell's absence in connection with the ballot-box investigation and his invitation to address the people of Atlanta before their Board of Trade. The vacancies have been filled, and the party is prepared to proceed with legislation to carry out these much needed reforms." Engineer nnd Brakemno Kilted. Chattanooga, Tenn., February 16. The Cincinnati Southern freight trains Nos. 11 and 15 collided at Melville, Tenn... 17 miles from here, at 7:30 P. M. Saturday. Engineer H.

World's Fair Matters Likely to Oeenpy the Attention Of the House The Educa tional nnd Trnst Bill Cp la tbe ISenatr. "Washington, February 16. For the first time since the present Congress met the House is to Kate an old-fashioned suspen sion day to-morrow, a result of the new code- of rules. The "World's Fair Committee will probably request the House to adopt its programme for the disposition of its bill and reports, and the simple majority vote necessary to make this order will donbtless be secured. In case this is done, the working days of the week will be devoted to the present action of the claims of the cities contending for the World's Fair and balloting upon the site. The pension appropriation bill will probably be reported to the House Tuesday, and may be called upon before the end of the week for consideration. The Blair educational aid bill is the un finished business on the Senate calendar, and Senator Blair states that he will call it up for debate at every opportunity. He will require two more days in which to complete his speech, provided he is not compelled to yield any of the time for the consideration of other business. The debate will be participated in by a number of Senators, including Messrs. Stanford, Evarts, Higgins, Chandler and Wilson, of Iowa. Several Beuublican Senators have in dicated a purpose to call up the resolution, still pending-asking the Attorney General to submit to .Congress the report, if any has been made, by the United States Marshal for Mississippi upon the assault at Aberdeen upon Henry Fanz, the Indiana -tinner, who untied the rope sustaining- the effigy of the Secretary of War, Proctor. Ittliis is done there will be a renewal of the discussion of the Southern political situation. Mr. Sherman has given notice that he will ask the Senate this week to consider his bill declaring trusts unlawful, and to-morrow Senator Piatt, from the Committee on Terri tories, will report iavorably with a request for early consideration the bill for the admis sion of Idaho as a State. The report will embody the recent decision of the Supreme Court affirming the validity of the Mormon test oath contained in the constitution adopted for the proposed new State. BOMB IN Aif ALLEYWAY.
