Some More Talk About That Million Dollar Offer to Day. THE SPORTING KEWS OF THE DAT Secretary Bninell, of the Players' National Iieasoe, has issued a stirring appeal in be half of the organization. A rumor is cur rent that Mark Baldwin wants to leave the Brotherhood. There is likely to be trouble about the Lehane affair. Chicago, February 25. The Times to morrow -Brill publish the following letter, sent to the Players' National League play ers by Secretary Brunell: The Players' Iieague is now ready to be gin the season with the strongest proup ot eight clubs ever gathered in one baseball organization. Its men hare withstood Na tional League bombs, beaten the "old mas ters" in the court, rejected huge bribes and defeated National League plots. There are 120 men loyal and true tinder contract to-day. Twelve of the men who signed oar contracts have proven false and deserted to the enemy under the influence of lies and bribes. Some have repented and asked for a chance to re turn. The players of the Players' League will pass upon their request A MATTER OF PRICE. Our men have proven the falsity of the old Lesue's declaration that "Every player has his price." There is nothing in the way of our thorough success. In about a month our play ing season will open. It will be the best season the national game has ever had. Thousands of people(who have in the past taken little or no interest in baseball have become attracted to it by our clean and consistent struggle for liberty, and by the un-American tactics of the old mas ters. The American people have no sympathy with bluff, bribery or boycotting. The National League's current threats need only to be sized up with those of the pist to cause laucbter. SOME ALLEGED BLUFFS. The old League declared that our players would never leave the old organization. They did. It said our League would never be organ ized. It stands proudly in first place to-day. It said oar business associates would put up no money. They have stood every test. It said the courts would hold our men to old slavish contracts. The courts indorsed us. Its men now declare that the courts will decide against as- and talk of bombs and surprises, what else can they doT Their game is up. Threats are cheap, and on a par with their early winter claim that there was no money in baseball. THE BIG SALAEIES. Vet the National League men are offering double the salaries which in 1889 they declared were "ruinous." We are glad to see our "busi ness competitors" making these wild offers. It only justifies our present position and shows the public the unscrupulous and unprincipled nature of men with whom we have had to deal. They would blacklist a man who broke a con tract with them on the ground that he was un worthy of confidence, yet they offer fabulous bribes to induce oar men to desert us. Is there any moral difference between breaking a con tract wiih us and with them? It is very im portant that all offers from the bribers eo be- lore tnc paonctnrougn tne newspapers. .Please see mat iney are luiiy exposed it thi bey attempt to bribe you. IS HAEK WEAKENING? A Kumar That Baldwin Wants to Return to Colombo. IF FECIAL TZLEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Columbus, O., February 25. Baseball cir cles has a rumor that Hark Baldwin is anxious to break away from the Brotherhood and re turn to Columbus. The report could be traced to no definite source farther than some of his intimate fneuds In the Columbus club claim to .have private information to that effect. Jack O'Connor, who is supposed to be pos sessor of the facts, refuses to tell what he knows about it. The rumor is that if Colum bus will pay the Brotherhood what advance money he has received and the same salary be got last year they can have him. Manager Bnckenberger, of the Columbus club, to-day telegraphed from Philadelphia to Mr. Lazarus, a Columbus director, that Le bane is in the South and has cone to Charles ton, where ha will meet the New Yorks. Lazarus says John B. Dav is doing everything he can to beat Columbus out of Lehane by keeping him hidden. He sent a contract to Charleston, also one to the home of Lehane in New York to-day for him to sign. The local club claims to have information that New York has promised protection to Lehane after the 27th and Mr. Lazarus states Lehane will go on the blacklist after Thursday of this week. He savs what the Association wants is the right and they -propose-it, as they have been ill used long enoush. Columbus claims the evi dence is on their side so far as the Lehane con tract is concerned. They expect to make their case on the written evidence of Lehane him self. r TEIIXG FOB KELLT. Spalding and Hnrt Alleged to be Tampering With aiiebael. New Yobk, February 25. There was a deep commotion in baseball circles yesterday. A futile attempt was made to induce Mike Kelly to 'jump" his contract with the Boston Players' League Club. Kelly himself, when closely questioned by a reporter last night, re fused positively to talk on the subject, but enough facts have leaked out to substantiate the story. James A Hart, A. Q. Spalding's confidental agent, arrived in town last Friday. Hart is a warm friend of Kelly. If anybody could win the Ling for the National League, he was the man. It is well known that the old Boston club has given up the idea of regaining the player for whom it paid Chicago 510,000. and has given the New York or Chicago National League clubs, the right to capture him if possible. Hart had been assiduous in his attentions to Kelly since his arrival here, and telegrams by the .scoro have passed between nim and Spalding. AboutT o'clock Sunday night. Spalding ar rived in New York, and that night in some way tried to induce Kelly to desert. He certainly failed signally. Hart left for Chicago last evening in anything but a happy mood. The king yesterday was considerably agitated, but be would say nothing further than that be had "fooled 'em," and no money could induce him to break faith with his fellow-players. "My father and mother," said he, "would never look at me again It I should prove a traitor to the boy. And the "Old Sport' will never do any thing which will cause them the least sorrow." iveily s reticence is presumably due promise to say nothing about the matter. to a A FEW ASSOCIATION' SECRETS. The Schedule for the Various Cliibi on the Big Holidays. ISrSCIAI. TZLEQEAM TO THE PISPATCn.1 Philadelphia, February 25. It did not prove such an easy matter to form a-schedule for the Association as was at first supposed. When the committee adjourned on Monday sight they all thought that it would take but a short time to finish it today. But, after an all day session, it was finally adopted to-night. Manager Chapman, of Louisville, was the holder out, and he stuck to his point with great tenacity. He wanted the Eastern clubs to finish in the West, but when he saw that he couldiot gain his ends be submitted and the dates were soon arranged As the members of the committee filed from their room late to-night they looked as though they had been through a long siege, but those who bad been on the winning side were all smiles. The main features of the schedule will remain a, secret until after the Association meeting, iwju monin. out many nine interesting points were let drop by those in charge. The dates for opening and closing the season were cot changed, and are April 17 to October 12. Each club will make three trips, and tbe East will open among themselves, and close in tbe same manner. So far as tbe Athletics are concerned there are no Sunday games scheduled and they will open the season with the Roches ter club and close It with tbe Brooklvns. The Eastern clubs will play at borne on Decoration Day and Hebrew fast day, while they will be In the West on the Fourth of July and Grand Army Day. 1 BONA FIDE OFPEB. The $1,930,060 BasebalL Syndicate Act. Daily Has a Beat Existence. rsrrcxAi. tzlxoxxx to tux crsrATCH.1 "WA8HrKOTO,February 25. Thb dispatch representative learned to-day from President Toung, of the National Baseball League, who has received a letter from John B, Say, of the New York club, that the offer of 41,000.000 for the franchises of alL the National League clubs is a bona fide one, but Mr. Young says he feelscertainthatltwlllnot.be accepted. The offer includes not only the franchises and play ers, but also the grounds and all improvements. The property of the League In grand stands and leases Mr. Young says is worth at least STCO.OOO.and the remaining (250,000 is considered a very small sum for the franchises, contracts, etc - "One of the motives of the backers of the Brotherhood," Mr. Young said, "is to get the League to refuse the offer point blank, and then you win hear the cry from the Brother hood calling attention to the fact that the League, after having said in its manifesto to the public that it had not made any money, bad refused a cool million for its franchises. This would place the League in a contradictory fosition to those who do not know the facts. f anyone will take the trouble to figure this matter out, they will soon learn that a sum nearer 2,500,009 would be more like it." A MARYLAND SP0ET. Mr. Suit Iisue m Ble Challenge to the Chicken Fighter. NkwYoiik. February 25. Yesterday A. B.

In a letter to this paper, from Washington, Pa., Bilson Jack says: "Jack King need not challenge any of the best fighters, because I will fight him myself for a purse, either in Boston, Providence, Buffalo or Brooklyn. I defeated blm at Wheeling, but the referee unfairly declared the fight a draw. He could not get a backer to fight me again. I will await his reply to my challenge through The Dispatch. I'm always ready for men like Jack King." Says McCoy Wm Game. The following communication explains itself: To the Sporting Editor, Dispatch: I think that all of tbe local newspapers treated Charley McCoy unfairly In their reports of his fight with MUrfc. McCoy did not "quit." He fought bravely and was knocked down seven times In tbe sixth round. In the seventh he was completely knocked out. He certainly did not show any cowardice. Hoping you will Insert this in your widely read paper I am lours, oxe who saw the fight. T.n Blanche Declines. Bait Fkascisco, FeDruary 25.

GABLE EOADS DELAYED. Accident Number One Occurs at n Crossing of the Central and Pittsburg Traction Companies' Unci Both Cables Thrown From Tbetr Bearings and Cars Stopped for Hours. A Central Traction cable car, at about 10:15 last night, ran into the Filth avenue .cable at the "Wood street crossing nnd stopped both lines. The gripmau of Cen tral Traction car No. 63 failed to lift his grip at the crossing and it struck the cable of the Fifth avenue line, throwing it from the wheel. The Central cable was also jerked off the wheel at the same time. The gripman was thrown against one of the windows in his cab. The glass was broken, but the gripman suffered only a slight cut of one hand. A passenger standing on the rear platform was thrown head foremost to tbe street, and with his nose chipped a piece oft one of the paving stones. His nose was also somewhat bruised. The passengers were piled together. Several women screamed and several men swore. The Fifth avenue cable, by the signal 'system, was stopped almost instantly, but it was 10 minutes before word .was telephoned to tne power house oi tne uentrai xraction Company and its cable was stopped. A large force of men from both roads was sent to the scene, and the iron covers were lifted. Men with ropes, chains and crowbars set to work to lift the heavy and taut cables. They worked hard in the mud, aided by some of the city detectives and surrounded by a curious and clamoring crowd. The theaters had not been out many minutes when the accident occurred. The streets were thronged with gentlemen and ladjes who were anxious to go to the East End. It was announced that the cables would he all right in a few minutes, but the minutes passed into hours, and tbe cars, stopped at intervals all along the roads, failed to move. The waiters, one by one and two by two, grew impatient and hired hacks and cabs. The cabmen rubbed their hands gleefully, and remarked to one an other that the Central Traction road was a good thing. Tbe gripman of No. S3, who is said to be comparatively new at his work, refused to give his name when asked. LOCAL ITEMS, LIMITED. Incidents of a Day In Two Cities Condensed for Beady Heading.

I Is Lieu of The story from Prescott, Ariz., is a sad one. A courier has arrived, and gives fuller particulars. The number of lives lost can not yet be stated, but 38 names are given, while the total will run up between SO and 100. Pbescott, Aeiz , February 25. The worst fears in regard to the Walnut Grove disaster are more than realized, although particulars come in slowly and are still meagre. Two prospectors arrived late last, night from the upper dam. They say that they camped above the dam on Friday night. At about 1 o'clock on Saturday morning the dam broke, the water rush ing down the narrow steep canon iu a solid body 80 feet high. One man was rescued from the top of a tree. They state that not even a remnant of the dam exists. The immense body ot water, one and a half miles square ahd 60 feet deep, was emptied in an hour. They had talked with many from the smaller dam 15 miles below, who said that up to Satur day evening 25 bodies had been recovered, but could give no additional names. The survivors were in the greatest destitution, having neither provisions nor clothing. Coarse grain sacks were being used in lien of clothing. The camp of workmen engaged in build ing a flume has not been heard from at all, and it is feared that all are lost. No news 'has yet been received here from Wicken berg or from the settlements below the dam. FOND HOPES BLIGHTED. The failure ot the messenger to arrive yesterday with further particulars of the grat disaster on the Hassaayapa river had a tendency to engender the feel ing of hope in the hearts oi many that the loss was exaggerated, and that the horrible catastrophe was not as bad as at first briefly reported. Such hopes, however, were dispelled last night about 7 o'clock when J. J. 'Williams, Mining Superintend ent, accompanied by his brother, Ben Will iams, of Bisbee, and Prof.v James Douglas, mining expert and capitalist, arrived from Copper Basin, and related the brief ystory told them by two prospectors direct from Walnut Grove dam: Not only- was all the hope dispelled, but their story went to show that half had not been told. A ' short time after tbe arrival oi Prof. Douglas and the Williamses, F. H. Beggs,. stage agent, who took Sheriff Otell and Dr. Miller to the scene of the disaster returned and reported 'that a messenger with full particulars had been sent by Sheriff O'Neill. It was midnight, however, before this mes senger arrived giving a list of the lost as far as is known and a partial list of the survi vors. Sheriff O'Neil writes as follows: A SCENE OF DESOLATION-. "Eotjaeks Banch, Monday, February 24. The scene of desolation along the Hassayampa river below the sites o( the dams is complete. A tornado could not have- made such a complete wreck. For miles the waters, turned free by the break ing of the dams, have filled the bed of the creek with bodies and with bnormous bonlders of trees and every other kind of debris. The following 38 names are a partial list of the drowned: Hannah McCarthy, maid to Miss Hanlon and Miss Vanbnren; Joe Eeynolds, miner; George Ebbetts, laborer; K. B. Nickell, la borer: Alex. McMillan, coachman: E. G. Wheeler, laborer; one Mexican, name un known; G. L. Cook, laborer; N. L. Cook, laborer; N. L.

Among the survivors are Miss',Mary Hal ton, niece of Mr. Vanburen, President of the Walnut Grove Water Storage Company; James Bedington, hydraulic engineer; Paul Lansing, bookkeeper; Bobert Browne, mer chant, and all his assistants; Eclmund Sils bee, H. S. Vanburen and daughter, with Lieutenant A. N. Brodie, superintendent, were in the Phconix, having left for thereon the Tuesday preceding. Besides these here mentioned some 12 or 15 miners who were in tbe plaoer mines, be tween the upper and lower dam, with a number of ranchers along tho stream, are missing, and when all the casualties are ascertained the entire loss will probably be between 50 and 60 lives. f A DOZEN BODIES BEC.OTVEEED. The bodies thus far discovered are about a dozen, many of which were , found 20 or 30 miles from the place where the flood overtook them all. The remains are more or less mutilated, while in several cases only fragments have been recovered, as the force of the flood was t srnfic. Many bodies have dououess Deen itunea in the sand and others torn to pieces! and carried far south, i The impetus of the stream of water when turned loose can hardly be aj (predated with out going over the ground covered by it. Those who saw it say that it came down in an almost perpendicular wa 11 90 or 100 feet high and apparently crushed down instead oi sweeuing away everyuiiu g ueiure iu Immense boulders weig hing tons were thrown around as a cbild might toss a ball. Enormous trees were broken iu two or torn into shreds. Iron bars wiere broken and twisted out of shape, antd ordinary flat iron was picked up and carried five miles and then imbedded in the walls of the canon 80 feet above the present level of the stream. A large safe belonging to Bobert Brown, containing in the neighbor hood of 57,000, was swept uway and no trace has been found of it. Wh atever the water struck went down. The flood struck the lower dam at 1:50, and five minutes later the headquarters five miles below were swept away. Several per sons were at both points 'watching, but not withstanding this the number of men drowned at tbe first point was over SO, and those who did escape did so with only what they had on their backs, rxlany only in their night clothes. '' Early on the evening of tbe 21st a courier was sent from the upper ty the lower dam to warn the residents at the latter point that thn farmer strnfetnre wa s in danger of breaking, but owing to the storm and dark-, ness the messenger coma noi Keep aneaa oi the flood, and lost his lite in trying to cross the Hassayampa river within view of the survivors of the camp he, had tried to save.

Watnesbueo, February 25. George Clark, the condemned murderer, spent his last day of life pretty much as he has spent his last week. A number of persons visited him and bade him goodby, they being mostly those who had in some way been con nected with his case. His wife, who came yesterday, took her departure this morning, and the parting scene was touching in the extreme. She left by a side door which opens on an alley, and passed down below the jail window which is nearest to Clark's call. As the curtains of the vehicle were being drawn she moaned aloud, "Goodby, George," and was driven away. A covered wagon drawn by fonr horses arrived this evening from Mason-town, and will carry away Clark's remains to-morrow, and they will be buned in Masontown. Clark's brother is here, and is the only member of bis family who will remain during his execution. A report that a military company would be called grew out of the fact that many urged Company K, Tenth Regiment be placed around th Court House to keep the croud in check, in place of sworn deputies. The Sheriff tele graphed Governor Beaver, who said It would not be permitted only in the emergency of a riot arising. There is no suspicion of trouble here, and no militia will be called out, A strong guard will be placed inside the Jail to-night. Ga Line From Maple Creek to Pittsburg. rSFBCIAI.

A Dealer Snjr Many of the Dear Girl Like , to Paff a Clsar. A woman nicely dressed and of refined appearance entered a tobacco store yester day and bought a quantity of cigarettes and cigars. It was rather an uncommon sight, hut the dealer was not rattled, and he had evidently sold to her at other times. "Do many women Smoke?" a reporter asked the dealer after she had passed out. "Well, yes," was the reply, "and the number is increasing every day. They don't belong to the demi-monde class, either. Many ladies smoke, sone even chew tobacco, and others use snuff. I am not speaking now of the old vag who loves to crone like a witch with a pipe over a coal fire, but the modern girl, and she makes a good smoker. They become as fond of the weed as men do. I know one woman who smokes two cigars every day, and she couldn't get along with out them. She won't smoke a toby, but a f.wo-for-a-quarter cigar duits her taste. She can tell at a glance whether she has an in ferior article or not. "STes, I believe tbe tobacco habit is grow ing with the gentler sex. And why shouldn't they smoke? Custom has set the stamp of vulgarity on ladies puffing a cigar, and cus tom could just as easily make it respectable. It is the old story that women have certain rights which men ought to respect, and if the dear girls want to smoke let them. I believe society is fast coming to the smok ing period."

Mrs. Jnlia Lippincott, tbo Alleged .Forger, Now Connected With DEFAULTING TREASURER WIGTON, Of the Glamorgan Iron Company, in Note Shaving Transactions. FIBST DISCOVERT OF HEU METHODS Fntilo Attempt of Mr. Lippincott to Fay tbe Kotea and Amid Exposure. It is now known that Mrs. Julia Lippin cott, who has disappeared with extensive forgeries hanging over her, was engaged ia speculation with Wigton, the Philadelphia defaulter. This was discovered some time ago, but the matter was suppressed. Her husband made a futile effort to pay all of the forged notes. rSPECIAL TELEOHAM TO TUX DISPATCH.: Philadelphia, February 25. It was learned to-day that Mrs. Julia C. Lippin cott, the fugitive wire of Edwin Lippincott, of Haddon Hall, Atlantic City, had been en gaged in note shaving with Charles B. Wig ton, the defaulting Treasurer of the Glamor gan Iron Company, prior to his arrest. The amount of tbe transactions, although not ex actly known, will reach up into the thou sands. The defaulting Treasurer of the Glamor gan Iron Company during the entire season last year had a cottage at Atlantic City with in a stone's throw of Haddon Hall. His meals were served from this hotel, and by this means he became acquainted with Mrs. Lippincott. When he was arrested, charged with embezzlement, all of his effects were seized, and a thorough examination made of them. THE MATTER SUPPRESSED. Among the shaved paper found in his possession were a number of notes drawn up by Mrs. Lippincott, which were still re tained by the defaulting treasurer and which she confessed were shaved by Wigton. At this time it was not known that Mrs. Lip pincott was engaged in shaving paper or lorgery, and she was .thoroughly frightened abouther name being connected witn that of Wigton. Out of respect for the husband of the fugitive forger the matter was sup- Eressed and it was not nntil to-day that it ecame known. In speaking of Mrs. Lippincott's, connec tion with Wigton, the informant said: "This was the,first intimation Mr. Lippin cott had that his wife was doing any outside dealing. During last season Mr. Lippincott was a greater part of the time confined to his bed, and his wife attended to the run ning of the hotel. The first discovery of forgery was made the very day the hotel closed for the season. On that day, which, I think, was October 1, Mr. Lippincott, who was still confined to his bed, was notified by the officials of one of the Atlantic City banks that there were two or three of his notes, representing several thousand dollars, which had been in tbe bank for some time, and were now due for payment. NATUEALLY SUBPBI3ED. "Mr. Lippincott was surprised, knowing that he had no paper, and being unable to go to the bank, requested the officials to bring the paper down to him and let him see it As soon as he saw bis supposed checks he pronounced them forgeries. Mrs. Lippincott was called into the room. She broke down and confessed that she had forged the notes, and besged for mercy, say ing that was her only offense. The deluded husband pleaded with the bank not to prosecute his wife, and paid the checks. "Soon after this scene Mr. Lippincott dis covered that his wil s had been engaged in all kinds -of negotiations, and at first at tempted to suppress her crimes by paying her notes. He paid out over $8,000 of forged notes with his name, but the- demand 'be--came so great that he was unable to continue the payments and decided to allow things to take their own course. When bis wife learned that her husband had refused to pay her debts, and she knew ruin was inevitable, she ran away. GATHERED IN AGAIN. Accused of Incendiarisms, Burglary and Other Trifles. Abe Boston 1 Cnnehr. Inspector McAleese yesterday received a telegram from Martin's Ferry, O., stating that Abe Boston, alias Norton, who is wanted there for burglary, was supposed to be employed at a glass works on the South Side, this city. Detective Demmel picked him up on his' way to work. He was taken to Central station, and Police Marshal Burns, of Martins' Ferry, being notified, came to the city last night and will take the prisoner back to-morrow. .The marshal says he was sent seven years to the Ohio Penitentiary for participation In a series of mill, dwelling and barn burn ings in the neighborhood of Wheeling and Martin's ferry. He was released about a year ago and two months afterward burglar ized a jewelry store at Martin's Ferry. Otto IJcffnor Coming Here. Kleber Bros. & Co., Lira., closed a con tract yesterday by which the Pittsburg pub lic is assured of hearing the phenomenal boy pianist, Otto Hegner, on tbe evening of March 7, at Old City Hall. This youngster is said to easily excel Joseph Hofiman's best efforts, and is, besides, a curly-haired dar ling, over whom the feminine portion of the community are wont to rave. Ho Was Shoveled Oat. J. H. Bentley was taken to the West Penn Hospital last night suffering from a broken thigh, resulting irom being caught between the sbovel and the brace of a steam shovel yesterday at Shousetown.

Tndigestion IS not only a distressing complalnt,'of itself, but, by causing the blood to become depraved and the system en feebled, is the parent of innumerable maladies. That Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockwi Centre, Mich.: "Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold, agony, was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at oil. Within the time mentioned several Shysicians treated me without giving re ef. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good nntil I commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsapa rilla I could see an improvement in my condition. My appetite began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength im proved each day, and after a few months of faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given me a new lease of life." Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PSE7AEED BT Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass- Frice$l;aixbattle,$.
