THE-' PITTSBURG 'DISPATCH, PRIDA! EEBRUART--8, 1890? I' t joi mm views-, He Talks About the Brother hood and Old League. MOEE ABOUT EWIM'S CASE A Grave Difficulty Regarding the McClelland-Priddy Eace. THE SPOETIKG KEWS OP THE DAI J. "W. "Walz, of Baltimore, talks about the Brotherhood and National League. He makes a charce against the former. Presi dent Day makes an affidavit against Ewing. Boston Supreme Court decides that billiard playing for who pays is gambling. A big challenge Is issued to Sullivan by Slavin's backers. J. "W. "Waltz, Vice President of the Balti more Baseball Club, is in the city on his way home from a business trip through the principal Western and Southern cities. Mr. "Waltz is -nell informed on baseball matters and always Las something interesting to say. Dunne a conversation with the writer last evening regarding the baseball situation, he said: ".Matters are certainly in a very unpleasant condition and before the year is ended some body will lose money to a greater extent than perhaps is anticipated. lam not prepared to say who will come ont ahead in the conflict be tween tbe new League and tbe National League, hut there are features connected with the former that may prevent success. A BAD SYSTEM. "I refer to the system of manacement in the respective clubs. I am persuaded that a 'play ing' manager does not suit on all occasions, be cause in Tery many instances the players will not nay the necessary amount of attention to one of themselves who may be managing the team. 1 have seen this proven by experience. A player who is manager has not, as a rule, the influence over a team that a man has who is not a plaj er. One player is always disposed to resent orders given by another player, and this feature will have a damaging effect on the new League. The players and officials may all get flehtinc among themselves. Of course there are a few exceptions to the above rule. Anson and Comiskey have been exceptions, but there are very few players like those two. I am inclined to think that notwithstanding the powerful team that tbe Players have in Chi cago there will soon be dissensions there. It is probable that Pf efferand Comiskey will not get along together, and it will soon be found that Mark Baldwin is not easy to handle by a fellow player. Even Anson failed to do that." A GEAVE CHAEGE. Mr. Waltz continued: "But I have one grave charge in particular to urge against the Play ers' League They have in the most unwar ranted manner entered tbe ranks of the Ameri can Association and tried to induce every good player there to desert and join the new League. In manv instances they have been successful. Ifow, the Brotherhood people promised the Association that they would do nothing of the kino, but we all know how they have violated that promise in the most un scrupulous way. I care not what the National League or any other league does; nothing unfairer and nothing which calls for stronger censure can be done than what the Players' League has done to the Associa tion. Tbe action of the players in this respect belie all their assertions and statements about wanting to act honorably. We hear any amount of talk about the contemptible methods of bribery resorted to by the League, but we are not told about tho bribe given to Comiskey and others to leave their old em ployers. It makes much difference as to whose ox is cored. But all this unfair dealing may. come back to those who are the principals in it. . BAT'S TJXWISE rOLICT. 1 don't think that Mr. B. Day is acting wisely. I think it wonld be better for him to let the courts alone and get a good team together. He could soon get a strong club; strong enough to have a good fighting chance. Byrne's club, in Brooklyn, will certainly have tbe call there, and I knotr very little about Pittsburg and Cleveland. However, it seems to me that tbe people with the longest purses will come out victorious." Mr. Waltz went on to say that he would like to sign Boutcliffc for the Baltimore club. "1 have heard that some Pittsbnrgere think be is not good enough lor here," said the speaker, "and I saw Manager Hecker to-day, and told him that we wonld take him. I could not get him, however. It seems to me that the old club here ought to get a good team from the big list of players signed. Well, we are going along in a modet way now. Our expenses are much less and I think we'll make money. " THE SD1T AGAINST EWING. President Day Mnkea an Affidavit Pointing Ont tbe Catcher's Worth. Kew York, February 7. The papers in the Suit brought by the Metropolitan Exhibition Company against Ewing, tbe former catcher of the New York ball tlub, to enjoin him from playing with any other club than that of the company for tbe season of 1890 were filed in tbe office of .the Clerk of the United States Circuit Court this afternoon. They are accompanied by two affidavits, ope from John B. Day and tbe other from Superintendent Arthur H. Bell, of tbe Exhibition Company. Mr. Day, in his affidavit, states that Ewing had caused to be published in the newspapers that he would not render services to the com plainant according to the'eontract for 1S93, and that be had engaged with tbe rival organiza tion. Mr. Day says also that Ewing told biin that be would not comply with the terms of tbe contract. Mr. .Day avers that Ewing has been in his service for five years now. and at this late day in tbe season it would not De pos sible to secure another catcher to take Bump's place, If tbe other players under contract with tbe complainant carried out their threats and refused to render services he could not get another team skillful enough to compete with the other clubs of the League and a large sum of money heretofore Invested would bo lost. Mr. Bell, in his affidavit, says that as agept of the complainant lie paid Ewing $2,000 underibe contract for the eason of 1S89. d appends to bis affidavit a note he sent Ewing October 22, 1SS9, notifying him of the retention of bis ser vices by the New York ball club under bis con tract tor tbe season of 1690.

A Boston Conrt Decides That Billiard Play Ins Is Gnmbllnc. rSrECIALTELEORAU TO THE DISPATCH.) Bostoit, February 27. Bostonlans were sur prised at a decision of the Supreme Court to day which makes nearly half the male popula tion gamblers. Tbe case which led to this in teresting result was that brought by John J. Murphy to recover from John Z. Rogers S120 SO on certain notes signed by the defendant who in defense contended that the notes were given wholly or In part for money or goods won by plaintiff from the defendant by gaming or play ing at billiards or pool. The Court allowed a verdict for tho plaintiff and reported the case to the Supreme Court which orders a new trial. "If the plaintiff kept a billiard saloon and played with defendant upon the terms that tbe defendant should pay for the use of the table by both parties in case ho lost, but otherwise that be shouldn't pay anything that was gam ing within the meaning of the statutes so also it was gaming if they played together upon the terms that the defendant in case be lost shonld pay the plaintiff for liquor or cigars to be used by tbe plaintiff, but otherwise not. In such case the price, tbe use of the table or of the liquor and cigars was money won by tbe plain- tin irom tne aeianaant oy gaming." This interesting decision makes the Hub as well as other big cities, completely overrun with gamblers for there isn't a game of pool or billiards played at any of tbe hotels in which the man who gets "stuck" doesn't pay for the game.

Prlddr and lUcCIelland Have Trouble In Se curing a Knco Track. A grave difficulty bas arisen in connection with the proposed foot race between Peter Pnddyand E. C 'McClelland. Articles were signed for the race to take place on the Exposi tion track, but that track is not only under water in some parts, but in others it bas been entirely buried by tho rubbish now being emp tied there to mako a baseball ground. Very lit tle of tbe track is left. John Quinn, McClelland's backer, and Prid dy's backer and trainer, mot yesterday after noon and talked the matter over. It was sug gested that the race take place in Recreation Park, and the parties agreed to this, but a to boggan slide extends across tbe park, and no track can be staked off. The parties will meet this afternoon at The Dispatch to try and agree on another track and put up the final de posit of J500 each. The track out Pcrrysvllle road and Homewood track have been men tioned. Both these tracks are suitable for tbe race,and it would seem better to select one ot them than to allow tho race to fall through at this stage. Some authorities seem to think that a good track conld be measured off in tbe Y.M. C, A Park, Allegheny. This park will be v s ited to-day. Mr. Quinn is willing to have the race take place in tbe Central Rink, but this is not satisfactory to Priddy, as he is not a rink runner. Howcver.both parties are eager for the face, and it is likely that some arrangement satisfactory to all will be made this alternoon. The runners are in excellent condition, and each is extremely confident of victory. The public interest in tbe race is very great. Baseball In St. Augustine. Sr. Augustine, February 27.

Railroad Paenser Business Helped by iho Bad Country Bonds. "This has been a good year for local passenger business," said General Passen ger Agent A. E. Clark, of the Lake Erie, yesterday, "but the through business didn't amount to much. I think the bad country roads helped tbe nearby trade. I was afraid at first the muddy highways wonld injure the business by preventing the people from reaching the railroads, but I was mistaken. The public has found it easier to travel Irom station to station by rail than wade through the sloughs of despond. The country livery stables have suffered, while the railroads have captured the dust. "From the present indications I am afraid the summer passenger business will be poor. I hold that tbe summer will be cold, and I shouldn't be surprised to see the present weather continue into May. At no time Will the weather be very hot. I have studied tbe seasons carefully and compared weather statistics for years, and I find the temperature doesn't vary much. It is bound to average up, and when we don't have the extremes of heat and cold, we have the medium temperature which leaves the average about the same for all the year." AN EMPHATIC fEOTEST.

It was a clear case of elopement, for on Tuesday evening tbe Cirl's father arrived here, hunted up his daughter, and with revolver In hand forbade tbe marriage. Knicht is a Protestant, white the young lady is a Catholic and this fact was tho cause of tbe trouble.

Several weeks ago the Boyer family, who reside in the Tenth ward and are very poor, were taken suddenly sick that is, the mother and her two sons, aged respectively 6 and 8 years, were stricken. Dr. Matthews was summoned. He was very much puzzled with the symptoms of their illness, butso on came to the conclusion that they were suffer ing from poisoning. The mother became almost helpless from paralysis, her arms hanging helpless by her side. The chil dren's forearms also became limp and life less. Inflammation of the stomach and bow els supervened and for a time if looked as thonsh all wonld die. To-day the mother and youngest child show signs of improvement and they may recover, but tbe doctor thinks there is no hope for the other boy. Tbe cause of the poisoning is somewhat of a mystery. The family have been eating a creat deal of canned goods lately, and It is probable their sickness may be tho result of that. There is also a very filthy well on tbe premises, and the family have been using tbe water from it.

A FLOOD OF WATERS. The Situation at Cincinnati Other Points Alarming. and RAILROAD TRACKS SUBMERGED. Steamboats Stick Their Noses Into Doors of Business Houses. tbe MANX LEADING INDUSTRIES STOPPED And if Gain Continues a Repetition of the Big Flood is Certain. Dispatches from Cincinnati indicate that the water will soon reach high-water mark. People living iu tbe "bottoms" fear that it will be a repetition of tbe flood of 1884. The floods have crippled the railroads in Ken tucky to a considerable extent. fSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Cincinnati, February 27. The Ohio river is surprising the "most experienced" river man in town. Yesterday he placed the limit of the present rise at 51 icet. This morning it was 53 feet. To-uigbt he is out of the prophecy business. The river, which at 2 A. M. seemed to be at a stand still, began a sudden and swift rise at 7 A. M. and has kept it up all day. The scenes in the "bottoms" nnd along the river front are alarmingly like those of the great flood days. The levee now con sists of a few feet of sidewalk, and big steamboats stick their noses into tbe doors of the business houses that line it. Bat and Sausage rows are emptied of their hundreds of inhabitants, and even at this late hour thousands are on the river bank and in the wholesale districts, here scores of teams move about in tbe mjst and drizzle taking vast piles of goods to places or safety. All the cellars from tbe river front five squares back are flooded. ' RAILROADS WATERLOGGED. About 8 A. K. the first water came into the bed of the old White "Water Canal, used bv the O. & M., Big 4, Bee Line, C. & S. W., Midland, C. & O., Cincinnati South ern and other roads as an entrance to the Grand Central depot. It was not then be lieved that there would be any serious trouble. Bnt before noon it was necessary to drive stakes to mark the switches, and by 4 P. M. it was with the greatest difficulty that engines not having very high fire boxes could get in or out. At 9 o'clock the water was 55 feet 2 inches, and every train was barred out with the exception of the C. & O., which can stand two inches more enough to last till midnight. Passengers and mail are being lauded at the transfer station and Eighth street depot, one and two miles out respectively. NO PROSPECT OF A PAIiL. There is no prospect of the river falling nnder any cirenmstances before noon to morrow, and there is consequently little prospect that the Union depot will be available for 24 hours at the least. Should rain come, as the indications seem to be, a dangerous flood is at hand. It rained steadily, though not very heavily, from 3 o'clock to 6 this afternoon, and the rain is known to have extended 150 miles np the river. Many leading industries here and in New port and Covington, Ky., are stopped be cause of the flood, and the beautiful grounds of the United States barracks in the former city are under water. Not a steamboat has departed to-day, it being impossible to get under any of the bridges. The office of the Sherman House, a favorite river men's hotel on Main street, is now under water. The river is still rising at an average rate of about two inches an hour. REACHED A FLOOD STAGE. The Cumberland River Higher Tbnn It Has Ever Been. Louisville, February 27. The Ohio river has reached a flood stage. One of the elevated road stations on the city front bas been cut o& A scare was started to-night and a number of families in districts sub merged in 1883 moved out, but there is little fear of such a deluge as then. The river is still rising about an inch an hour. Tbe Ohio and Mississippi Railroad between here and Cincinnati is closed. C. A. Wooster, who has just returned from Middleborongh and intermediate points, says the Cumberland is higher than it has ever been, and the runaway waters have created havoc all along. There have been landslides where great trees and im mense bodies of earth have tumbled away, and in places tracks are submerged. The floods bave crippled the railways to a considerable extent. On the Knoxville branch the delays have been from 8 to 36 hours. The news from the mountain sectiou is tbat landslides and washouts have been numerous and extraordinarily troublesome. Mails in that regiou have been practically discontinued. The telegraph wires are down in many places. WD ON A RAMPAGE. Stores Wrecked nnd Bnrns Leveled In ninny Plnces in Miisisslpp'. Torrance, Miss., February 27. At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon a heavy wind and rain storm struck this place, 'doing an immense amount of damage. The front of D. L. Jone? & Son's store was torn away and landed across the Illinois Central tracks. The roof was blown more than 200 yards. Van Hooser's drygoods store was wrecked and blown across Hie railroad. Fences and barns were leveled to the ground iu many places. Heavy rain is still falling and the streets are flooded. HARD STRAIN ON THE LETEES, But They Will Stand nn Additional Rise of Three Feet. Mesiphis, February 27. The nnusual rainfall over the entire watershed of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and their tribu taries since Saturday last portends evil to the low land country protected by levees in the Yazoo Delta, and the Tensas basin. Along the Yazoo front below Greenville It is stated that the levees will stand against three feet of additional rise and it is proba ble that their strength will be tested before the present flood passes there. Henvy Rnlns In Arlzonn. San Francisco, February 27. Heavy rains continue to prevail in Arizona. Last night the floods washed ont a large portion of the Prescott, Arizona Central Kailway. Telegraph communication has also been cut off from Prescott, so that thr exact nature of the damage is not known. A New Brake for Street Cnrs.

'Squire Herman Handel was sailing down Fifth avenue yesterday, and loosing as fresh, smiling and breezy as a Snowden township clover field in June. He was in an excellent humor, although he says the country roads; are as bad as at any previous time this winter. The cause of 31r. Handel's good humor is the glorious agricultural prospect for the coming ssason. Never before, said be, was there such an excellent stand of fall sown crops as at present. The wheat iu this and Washing ton counties bas gotten such a firm setting in the ground and such luxuriant growth that it stands in no danger now of being spewed out by alternate freezing and thaw ing. It may he caught by late frost in blooming time, and there is a possibility of too luxuriant growth, in which the straw will profit at the expense of the head, but these the 'Squire regards as only remote contingencies. Mr. Handel further states that if meadows get even a moderate amount of rain in May the yield of hay will be enormous, as the crop has already a base upon which to be nourished. Grass roots during the entire winter have been taking nourishment and already have the power necessary to perfect a crop, and all that is wanted, as stated above, is an occasional shower iu May. The area of hay next season will be greatly diminished, however, as the low price this winter induced many farmers to plow meadow ground for corn, a thing which they had been unable to do during winter for half a century previously. All told, there have not been two weeks this winter when sward could not be plowed. Fractured His Arm. Michael Healey, a laborer employed at the Edgar Thomson steel works, at Brad dock, was brought to the Mercy Hospital last night suffering from a fracture of the right arm and a crushed hand, which he re ceived by a large timber falling on him.

That AVer's Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated witn Liver Complaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockw&jr 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 conld be digested at aii. T7ithin the time mentioned several physicians treated mo without giving re lief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good nntil I commenced the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful resnlts.
