rsrzciAX, tiligiux to tiix dispatch.!
Shamokut, February 21. Bock Ewing,
of the New York Brotherhood team, is visit
ing his wife's parents in this place. In an
interview this evening Buck stated that
under no circumstances would he play with
the National League team. Just before
leaving Cincinnati an attempt to have him
disclose his conversation with John B. Day
tailed, but since his sojourn in the coal metrop
olis lie thought it best that his brother
players should know just what took place.
"I was with him two consecutive days, he
using all kinds of efforts to have me leave the
Brotherhood. An offer of $3,500 a year for
three seasons was rejected."
The reason that Buck was subjected to 4S
hours' of extraordinary pleadines on the part
of Day was that owing to the high regard in
which Ewing held the President, Back treated
him in a firm and compassionate manner and
did not have the heart to be abrupt. ike a
drowning person, the President grasped at
imaginary straws.
POOB SIB. DAY.
Say claimed he conla secure Richardson and
Connor if the captain would yield, when Ewing
told him he was acting in an underhand man
ner; that he knew the men said nothing of the
kind.
"Why do you call it underhand, Buck?" said
Day.
"Because you could go to the same men and
use the identical argument with me as a pigeon
stool. lam captain of the team and the last
man you should approach."
Day assured Ewing that be was the most lib
eral man in the Brotherhood. When Buck
stated that the men could make more money
and be treated whiter than they were in the old
League. Day said he would sooner take back
John Ward. Dut never wnitney ana u noarse,
as the latter players acted falsely with him in
claiming to be with the League, when in reality
they were with the Brotherhood.
Bnck received a telegram from Richardson
this afternoon, admonishing the captain to dis
credit stones abont him, that he was just as
solid as Ewing. The New York Brotherhood
team will be on top when the season closes.
THE BUFFALO TEAM.
;I feel sore," remarked Ewing, "and think
that the Buffalo team will be at the bottom."
"Do you think any of the New York team
will prove disloyalT"
"Not one of them," replied Ewine in a de
termined manner. "Tbey are all in the fight to
stay."
"How is it yon were the last man to sign with
the BcotherhoodT"
"I desired to weigh the situation accurately
and many important moves on the magnates'
part were turned into good use when I finally
went into the new movement, as I was talked
to continuously by the League people, who
imagined I would never leave them. John Day
is beloved by all the Brotherhood people, but if
ne aoes not stop nis ainy uich no wiu
most unpopular.
F.wlnr- thinks that the Leaeub people have
reached the end of the string in securing de
serters and expresses contempt at Clarkson
and Glasscock's actions.
DAT WAS TJNAFPBOACHABLE.
A special telegram from NewYork makes
the matter clear from President Day's stand
point, as follows: President John B. Dai; of the
New York Club, has never been charged with
being impulsive. On the contrary, be has
always been credited with having one of the
most amiable dispositions. To have met him
to-day, however, one would have never thought
that it was the suave John B. Day of old. He
was sullen and morose, and was almost unap
proachable. Ee seemed to have a perfect ab
horrence of newspaper men. When a Dis
patch reporter was assigned the task of inter-
viewing Mr. Day upon the result of the late
Western trip, he congratulated himself upon
the tact that the mission would be an easy and
pleasant one.
Mr. Day left Indianapolis on the 2.30 P. M.
limited express on Wednesday, which was due
to arrive in New York early on Thursday
evening. He evidently laid off somewhere, for
he did notreach the city until morning, and
quietly slipped into his business office at 121
Maiden Lane, and here The- Dispatch re
porter met him.
"Good morning, Mr. Day; glad to see you,"
the reporter said.
"What can I do for your' was the rather
cold reply.
GETTING DCWIT TO THE POINT.
"You had a pleasant chat with Bnck Ewing,
itissaidT"
"Yes, I was with him for two or three hours."
"Well, was the conference a very encourag
ing one to you?"
"I have nothing to say .on that point"
"It has been stated that you offered Ewing
8,000 for three years. Is that truer"
"He merely shook his head, and then, in a
rather petulant manner, said: "I don't care
about talking of such things. There has been
enough said about it already. I have already
met a dozen reporters, and 1 said to them, as I
say now, I have nothing to communicate."
Mr. Day then walked away from the reporter:
bat he was asked whether it was true that he
was trying to make a deal with the Cincinnati
club for Carpenter and two or three otberplay
ers. "Well, Carpenter is a good man," said he.
Mr. Day was asked abont his visit to Indian
apolis. "Mr. Brush and I had a very pleasant
talk," he replied; "but I cannot say anything
further than that." ,
"What is your opinion of a ten-club LeagueT"
"I would like to see eight clubs; that is all
there is abont it"
WItlfthis Mr. Day showed an utter disin
clination to talk any further, and the reporter
withdrew.
WHAT THE SCHEME SEEMS.
Among the best posted baseball men the im
pression seems to be that President Day's trip
was chiefly planned to get Buck Ewing back
into the League ranks. There is no doubt that
lie had a long talc with the great player, and
the presumption is that be offered Bnck a
fabulous amount of money to return. With
Ewing back into the fold there seems to be no
question that others of the New York club
would follow in his wake. Therefore Mr.
Day's move in trying to get Ewing was a wise
one, and there are many who believe that the
latter will yet De corralled by the New Yorks.
It Is surmised that Ewing's visit to New York
at this time is by appointment with Mr. Day.
Danny Richardson and Roger Connor are
also expected in the city, and it is claimed that
these players will meet Mr. Day at some se
cluded place and each sign a New York club
contract The three men will then be on the
same level, as no one can charge that one man
broke his contract with the Brotherhood be
fore the other.
It is also reported that President Brush will
be compelled to give np two men to the New
Yorks if there is a chance of the Hoosiers stay
ing in the League.
Anothervery importantquestlon the reporter
asked Mr. Day was whether be bad seen Danny
Richardson during his trip. He shook his
head and said that he had not
STEER'S MISSI05.
He Gives n Good Acconnt to His Cincin
nati Colleasnes.
CnicnrnATi. .February 2L After a fort
night's absence in the Metropolis, Colonel A, S.
Stern, the President of the Cincinnati club,
returned to his desk this morning, and to your
correspondent he told for the first time the
story of the capture of Foreman. Said he:
"While this thing of meddling with my play
ers was going on I firmly resolved to take a man
from the Brotherhood for every player they
coaxed away from roe. Had they not persuaded
Durjea to break faith with me I would not have
Interfered with them. I am well pleased with
the exchange of Foreman for Dnryea,"
-How did you manage the deal?"
"Baltimore gave me the choice of Cunning
ham or Foreman, and I of course chose the
latter. The offer to compensate them for
bringing him out and making him what he is
to-day was accepted, but Manager Barnie de
clared that he could do nothing in the way of
comoleting negotiations and be turned Fore
man over to me. The letter I wrote him
bronght him to New York on the next train.
He has signed no baseball contract Ob, no.
The personal contract was drawn up by Abe
Humel, and bv its terms Foreman is in my em
ploy for two years. I felt that I could take no
chances with experimental purchasers, and
Foreman on the list I am confident that Cin
cinnati is in good trim to enter the race."
Mr. Stern goes to St Louis to-morrow night
He will remain in the West until the middle of
April.

Catton followed with 9 carromMnaking his total
just 10 less than Ives, bnt it fell still further in
the rear when Ives sat down to rest after claim
ing 57 more buttons. His nervousness had
vanished and shot after shot he made was
heartily applauded. He played gracefully and
though not as quick as Scbaefer, witli that
seeming carelessness which made the "Wizard"
so famous. Catton followed with a goose egg
and Ives did not do a bit better. Then Catton
made 7, bringing his total up to 58 while Ives

and Catton followed with a run of 3L during

THE LAST OP THE SERIES.
Rev. Mllbnra's Interesting Pictnres of the
Washington of the Fast and Present
Vivid Descriptions of Clay and Webster
and Their Successors.
Eev. W. H. Milburn, delivered the third
and concluding lecture of the series at the
Second Presbyterian Church last night.
The subject as previously announced was
'What a Blind Man Saw in "Washington
40 Years Ago and What He Sees There
How." In the opinion of many ii was the
most interesting discourse of the three. In
it the speaker showed his intimacy
and knowledge of the characters and states
men of the Capitol two-score years ago and
those of to-day. His picture of the blithe,
warm-hearted impulsive Henry Clay ana
the cold, and austere Daniel Webster were
wonderlully'vivid and life-like, as were also
his recollections of President Jackson, Gen
eral Eaton and the famous Peggy O'Neal.
Coming down into the period of the last
two Congresses during which, he, the
speaker, had returned to the Chaplaincy
occupied by him .many years before, Jie told
of the many changes that bad taken place
in the meantime, of the customs obliterated
and the bright minds that had appeared,
acted their parts and passed away from the
stage in the meantime. What the Congress
man of the present day was like, his duties
anil standing in comparison with thoseof other
days was then touched upon and some of
the leaders held nn as illustrations, among
them our local Representatives, Dalzell and I
Hayne, not being lost sight or.
In conclusion Dr. Milburnpaid a glow
ing tribute to ex-President Cleveland, his
character and statesmanship, and to his wife
"the school girl, the tourteous woman, the
first of 'First Lad''es of the Land,' a queen
fit to prate the highest throne in the gift of
man."
Eev. .Milburn will occupy the pnlpit of
the Second Presbyterian Church on Sunday
next by request.

The ShipmenfcCanses Some Interest Among
Manufacturers.
FOBEIGN TEADB HOT 60 'FAV0BABLE.
Wool Sells Slowly, CaiLDallLiQuor Trade Fair, To
bacco Quiet.
The past week shows only a moderate activity-
in general trade throughout the
country. Dullness has been the featnre in
New Orleans. The shipments of pig iron
from Sheffield, Ala., to Pittsburg causes
some comment. Slowness in collections is
common and rather increasing. The foreign
trade of tbe country is not as favorable as it
was two months ago.
New York. February 21. Special "tele
grams to Bradstreet 's report only a moder
ate activity in general trade throughout the
country. There is no claim made of volume
of trade in excess of that of a $ear ago, and
in many instances the reverse is true. Dull
ness has been a feature at New Orleans and
on the Pacific coast, where it is storming.
Another snow blockade is threatened.
Country wagonroads have improved in the
Mississippi and Missouri river valleys, and
the increased volume of goods distributed
from Chicago is such as to attract attention.
Our San Francisco advices are that a five
sixths yi teres t in the Nevada Bank has been
been purchased at a price reported to be
82,600,000. The Seligmans, of New York,
are mentioned among the purchasers. The
appointment of a receiver of the American
refinery, at San Francisco? throws the con
test for its - possession into the Supreme
Court ,of California. The hardware and'
wholesale groceries trades, as well as boots
and shoes, show relatively most active dis
tribution. At JNew xorK these teatures are
present, as well as considerable activity in
ginghams, furniture, millinery and artifi
cial flowers.
There is a further heavy decrease in the
New York banks surplus reserves this week
which has the reverse effect on money that
the reduction of the Bank of England dis
count rate from 6 to 5 per cent did. Money
does not return from the West as fast as ex
pected. The New York stock market has
been weak, and prices on the whole tend
downward, closing yesterday dull and ir
regular on the uniavorable bank statement
and the Western railway rate war. The
trunk lines thus far reinse to join in the
fight. Bock Island, of the Grangers, has
suffered most from declines in prices.
GROSS EARNINGS OF BAILBOADS.
Among specialties Tennessee coal and
iron was surprised by a drop of 20 points.
Union Pacific, sngar certificates and tbe
Yillards were stronger. The gross earnings
of 100 railroad comprnies for the year 1889
aggregate $659,588,237, a gain over 1888 of
4.3-per cent. Net earnings' of the same
companies aggregated 8224,430,925, an in
crease of 11.3 per cent.
Exports of wheat (and flour as wheat)
from both coasts, as reported to Bradstreet' s
this week aggregate 2,272,849 bushels
against 1,517,775 bushels last week and 610,
127 bushels in the third week of February,
1889. The total exportedJrom July 1 last
to date equals 67,823,322 bushels against 61,
370,502, bushels in a like portion of 1888-89.
Wheat prices advanced 12c on ru
mors of domestic crop damage and reduced
estimates of yields in Australia ana Cali
fornia, backed by a better speculative re
quest. Indian corn leaves off about steady
after declining on a heavv interior move
ment and reacting on a good export 'demand.
Oats are Jc lower on free offerings and light
export demand. Hog products are fairly
active witbautnoteworthvebanges in prices'.
Dressed hogs are i off.
SOITTHEEir IBOIT rk PITTSBTJBG.
Heavy iron and steel production tends to
check further price advances, and steel bil
lets, blooms, 'spiegeleisen, ferro-manganese
and Bessemer pig have all weakened
slightly. Considerable interest has attached
to shipments of pig iron from Sheffield, Ala.,
et al. to Pittsburg at 81 95 per ton, water
freight, as against 84 55 rail freight. No
doubt cheaper water freights will develop
business between Southern 'and Northern
points. The drop of 50c per ton on South
ern pigiron freights, to take effect March 15,
is regarded by some western bnyers as sim
ply one step in tbe direction of much lower
Southern freight rates.
Drygoods are, more active at New York
and Boston with' both jobbers and commis
sion men. At New York personal demand
is the largest; at Boston mail orders figure
more prominently. Cotton goods are fairly
maintained and, with an upward tendency
in prices. Print cloth sales last week were
the largest on record. Cotton and woolen
dress goods figure most actively in the pre
vailing demand. Woolen goods for men's
wear manifest slight improvement, while
prices are unchanged. Raw wool is dull,
with low grades weakening in price. Raw
cotton is fairly active and firm owing to
light crop movement. Dealings in raw
sngar are light, with prices barely steady,
although crop estimates are again reduced.
Refined is weaker and l-16c off. Strong
er foreign coffee markets and an increased
speculative demand advanced prices c
at New York.
Business failures reported to Bradstreet's
number 253 in the United States this week,
against 213 last week and 302 this week last
year. Cafiada bad 34 this week against 46
last week. The total number of failures in
the United States since January 1 is 2,353,
against 2,484 in 1889.
B. Q. DUN & CO.'S BEPOBT.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade
says: While the prevailing' impression in
business circles is rather less confident than
it was a week ago there are several signs of
improvement. Cooler weather has caused a
little more activity in some lines of trade.
Wheat is a little stronger, and without a
clearly defined reason there is firmer tone
in theJSastern iron markets.
While the reduction in the Bank of En
gland rate from 6 to 5 per cent, with its
large gain of 84,315,000 gold the oast week,
diminishes the chance Of inconvenient de
mands from abroad, on the other hand, gen
eral trade is not increasing in volume or in
profits, and while its soundness is indicated
by the occurrence of fewer failnres than
many expected as the result -of phenomen
ally unreasonable weather, the complaint of
slow collections is common and rather in
creasing. ,
Wool sells slowly; coal is very ilow: hard
ware dull; the liquor trade fair; fbbacco,
quiet with slow collections, and the grocery'
trade generally depressed, with collections
very poor.
At Chicago grain receipts exceed last
year's and receipts of beef products and
lard are nearly or quite double, with a
gain f 50 per cent in cheese lor the week
and some improvement in hides and wool,
but no change is seen in clothing, though
tho drygoods trade compares favorably
with last year, and the shoe trade is only
fair.
EXTENDED TIME GIVEN.
Cleveland notes fairly good trade, but the
bad condition of the country roads affects
collections. Fron Milwaukee extended
time has been given on many large accounts
and cold weather has come too late to clear
the stocks in many country stores.
Pair reports come from Omaha, St. Paul
and Denver, and indeed, from most West
ern and Southern points, but at Kansas
City wade is rather actiye and iron is
weaker because of the increased Southern
demand, with a good trade and .good busi
ness in glass.
The foreign trade of the country is not as
favorable as it was two months ago. In
three weeks of February the exports from
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY
New York show scarcely any increase, and
the imports anfnerease of 3 per cent, indicat
ing thus far an excess of imports. "Wheat
exports are still much above last year's and
the price has risen 2 cents, with reports of
injpry to the growing crop. Corn exports
largely exceed last year's and the price is
i lower, with oats lower. Pork
products are steady and moving outward
fairly, and oil after decreasing a million in
valne of exports in January, has declined
1 cents for the week.
Speculation in coffee is stronger at 20
cents, but sugar has not changed.
The business failures occurring through
out the country daring the last seven days
number 271. For tbe same .week in last
year the figures were 270.
A BUKGLAR'S SI0RY.
One of Tbreo'Crnckimen Torn State's Et.
dence and Bend HIa Partners In Crime
to Jail A Drink and Then a Sassesilon
to Crack a Safe.
Frank Fisher, James Courtney and Mar
tin Flaherty were given a hearing before
Magistrate Gripp yesterday on the charge
of burglary brought against them by In
spector McAleese. They are alleged to have
blown open the safe in the office of a con
tractor named House, on Forbes avenue,
about six weeks ago.
Edward House testified to finding four
boles drilled in his safe and the door blown
open.
Martin Flaherty, one of the defendants,
turned State's evidence. He testified that
on the night of January 8 he was in the
Tivoli garden, where he met Fisher and
Courtney. They went to a Grant street
saloon, and after getting a drink, Fisher
suggested that thev go out and crack a safe.
They went down Fifth avenue and tried to
force open the door of a steamship office, but
were unsuccessful. They next visited
the office at Steen's coal yard, on
Fry street, and attempted to force
open the door, but discovered there was a
map in tbe office and fled. The next place
visited was alnmber office on Forbesavenue,
bnt they failed to gain an entrance. The
trio then proceeded to Mr. House's office,
No. 283 Forbes avenne, where they managed
to force open the door. They proceeded to
drill the safe. Fisher and Courtney drilled
three holes and the witness one. The drills
were purchased in a store on Wood street.
The powder was furnished by a man named
Hoover.
While Flaherty was telling the story
Courtney and Fisher glared at him savage
ly, and when he concluded they called him
a liar, as did also Courtney's sister, who was
at the hearing
Tbe defendants were committed indefanlt
of 81,000 each for trial at court. After the
hearing Courtney and Fisherwere taken to
to a photographer's and their pictures taken
for the rogues' gallery. '

HOUSE BILLN0. 326.
Bepresentatiye Clancy's Bill Passes
the Columbus Senate.
FOR SYSTEM OP FREE T0RNP1KES
i
In Jefferson County and to Provide' for the
Payment Therefor.
THE SYSTEM PK0TIDES FOB 17 E0UTES.
Before Work Can be Commenced It Must be Bab.
Ditted to Voters.
Representative Clancy's bill, known as
House bill No. 326, has passed the Ohio
Senate. It provides for the construction, of
a system of free turnpikes in certain town
ships of Jefferson county. Its passage
causes great rejoicing in Stenbenville.
rSFZCIAL TILZQRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Stetjbenville, February 21. A tele
gram was received here to-day announcing
the passage in the Senate at Colnmbus of
House bill No. 326, introduced by Repre
sentative Clancy. It is a measure to con
struct a system of free tnrnpikes in certain
townships of Jefferson county, O., and to
provide for the payment therefor. Its pas
sage canses great rejoicing here.
The districts in our county which are to
construct this system are the townships of
Stenbenville, Toledo Creek, Cross Creek,
Salem, Wells, Knox and Smithfield, except
York precinct. The system provides for 17
routes, which in extent amounts to about 85
miles. The cost is to be on all taxable
property of the several townships, including
the municipal corporations therein adopting
tbe system.
The commissioners to raise the necessary
money may issue special turnpike bonds,
pledging the taxable property not to exceed
8350,000, in denominations of 8500 and
$1,000, issued and pledged as follows: One
third within two months, same bonds to run
20 years with privilege of payment after 15
yeurs, anno auiuuub m ub jsaueu uue year
thereafter, payable in 30 years with the
right to pay after eight years, the balance
to be issued the next year and payable at
such time or times as the commissioners
may decide, not exceeding ten years, each
series of bonds' to be numbered, sold and
called accordingly. They are to bear inter
est al 5 per cent per annum, payable semi
annually and shall be sold as the money
may be needed, but not for less than their
par value and accrued interest.
The County Commissioners are not to levy
any tax or issue any bands or appropriate
any money for the construction of tbe pikes
without first submitting to tbe qualified
voters of the township the question as to the
policyof constructing the roads by general
tax an'd shall provide for such election ac
cording to law. The con:emplated elec
tions will be held as oon as practicable.
THE USE OF WATER.
1
Increased Revenue Derived by the
City
During the Fast Fiscal Tear Elevators
In Operation Water Motors Used la
Factories and Shops.
George Miller, Superintendent of the
Bureau of Water Assessments, has submit
ted his report for the fiscal year just ended
to the Chief of the Department of Public
Works, and it shows quite an increase in the
revenues from that department.
The annnal assessment is shown to be
$557,833 75, to which is added a supplement
ary assessment of 89,418.fi5, making a total
of 5567,252 60, an increase of $46,520 75 over
the assessment of 1888. The receipts from
the construction of new buildings for water
nsed thereon were $9,254 89, an in-
-crease of $1,65(1 27 over 1888. From
the total assessment was deducted
$10,885 10 due to exonerations, errors of
assessment, non-use of hose and vacancies.
The latter item was considerably larger the
past year than previously, bnt it is a matter
over which the city has no control, as itiin
cludes many saloons that were refused
license and have been kept vacant by the
proprietors in the hope that they might
secure a license the next sitting of the
court.
Mr. Miller reports that there are now 176
elevators in nse in the city, which have con
sumed 275,000,000 gallons of water during
the year, and yielded a revenue of $34,632 27.
There is an increase of 30 elevators and
$6,489 in revenue from that source over 1888.
Mr. Miller opens up a new sorfrce of reve
nue to the city. He states that "on account
of the pressure of tbe water of the city,
motors of various kinds are in pretty gen
eral use for such work as running sewing
machines, lathes, fans, organs, etc., and con
nections are made thereto by the ordinary
service pipe. Many of these connections
are made without application for permission
from the city, or any report to the proper
officiaIs,iand there are many snch in nse of
which the city has no account.
He recommends the licensing of plumb
ers, and any failing to make a return of con
nections to water pipes for any purpose to
be fined $50 and their license revoked. Mr.
Miller states that this is the only large city
in the country where this system is not in
practice.
WARMER WEATHER TO-DAY.
As Usaal the SnpplTofGns Was Not Equal
lo the Demand Yesterday.
It was a cold day yesterday. The people
have been praying for refrigerator tempera
ture, and they got it with a vengeance. The
thermometer was down to 16 in the morn
ing. Another warm spell will set in to-day
and continue for some time.
As usual on cold days the supply of gas
was not up to the demand. The Allegheny
High School was dismissed on account of
the scarcity, and a number of people on the
Northside complained ot the shortage. Sim
ilar complaints were made in Lawrenceville,
on the Southoide and in Brownstown. Sev
eral restaurants on Carson street were com
pelled to use wood. In Pittsburg the Peo
ple's line was a little short in tbe morning,
but the supply was soon increased.
Did Credit to the High Schobl.
An entertainment was given in Veteran
Legion Hall, Sixth avenne, last night by
Friendship Conclave No. 3, 1, O. H., after
the regular business had been transacted.
Miss Lemon .recited "Christie Johnston"
and "The Story of Naples,'and Miss Mat
thews recited "The GuaWian Angel" and
"Lasca." Both young ladies are graduates
of the High School, and did that institution
credit.
Man and Wife Sued for Perjury.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Koppikoski were
sued for perjury by M. Powasky, before Al
derman Succop, last night. The 'parties
were interested in d snit before Alderman
Lohrman recently, and the prosecutor al
leges that the deiendants swore falsely.
A Family Itow.
John Keefe, who lives at the corner of
Wylie avenue and Fnlton street, got into a
row with his wife last night about some,
beer, as it is alleged, and he struck her with
a flatiron on the head. Dr. Shaw said the
skull was not fractured.
