SS!pROTOEQPSGgJDSsBHlpBSOTp(Pp890 K ft s 1 , I DETBOIT-LOOMS UP, A Clul) That Wants to Buy the Senators Out, BUT IT MAY STILL BE TEN. A Local Horse Sold to Europeans for A Sice Sum. THE SPOETIA'G NEWS OF THE DAY The National League meeting is going on in Cleveland.. Detroit wants "Washington's place in the League. The prospects are for a ten-club League. Mauager Hanlon has gone to Washington. A Pittsburg horse has been sold to Europeans for $3,000. . ffrrCIAI. TELEOEAM TO THE DISrlTCH.1 Cleveland, March 4. If noihing goes wrong and the deal works as it has been fixed, Detroit will haTe achieved its end be fore another dav passes. That end is to se cure a National League franchise. The De troit boomers, composed of F. K. Stearns, President; M. B. Mills and Manager E. H. Leadley, worked the deal neatly to-day, and chances are favorable to its being consum mated. The scheme is nothing more or less than an offer made to President "Walter Hewitt, of the Washington club, by Detroit, of a certain snm of money to deliver its franchise in the League to Detroit and then retire from the business. Hewitt, it is surmised, agreed, and now it depends upon, the League itself to put its sanction or disapproval upon the deal. This is the story as it goes, and there is not the slightest doubt about its truth. The Detroit people are BENT OS BUSINESS and have plenty of money to back their case. The only thing that stands in the way of the translcr of the "Washington franchise to De troit is tne hone that President Brush, of In dianapolis, will consent to leave the League, Should he decide to do so the Detroit-Washington deal will be killed, and an eight-club League will operate next season. There was no official notice of any such deal in the meeting to-day, but outside the session room It was common talk among the magnates, though some of them would not admit it openly. J. Palmer O'Neill, of Pittsburg, and Al John Eon, who are old acquaintances, met each other in the "Weddell House just after the adjourn ment of the afternoon session. "Well, Jlr. O'Neill," said Mr. Johnson, "has AVashingtoa dropped out yet?" 'No," answered the Pittsburg man. "Wash ington will surely go on with us, and it'll be a ten-club League." "I'll bet j on a silk har,"' broke in the presi dent of the Cleveland Players' League team, "that Washington does not go on. Now then, will you take it?!' Mr. O'Neill refused to take the wager, show ing that while the officials will not say so openly, Detroit will probably be a member of the League this season. LEADLEY COXFERS. K. H. Leadley, manager of the Detroit team, had two conferences with Pitcher Frank Knauss during the day, aud his conversation with the clever young pitcher went far to prove that a deal was being made. He told Knauss that if Detroit gets into tbeLeague it will want to keep in. But if it does not got in it will have no'ube for him and will want to sell him to Boston. One of the things that stands in the way of the transfer is that it would put six cities geogranhicjlly in the Western circuit, leaving only four in the East. This would necessitate putting Pittsburg in the Eastern circuit The important session was a short one. last ing until 2 o'clock, when an adjournment was had for lunch. The committee appointed re garding gate receipts made this renon: "Your committee recommends that home clubs in making a settlement with the visiting clubs be authorized to deduct from the total turnstile count an allowance of 3 per cent as an offset to the free tickets issued. It further recommends that a private entrance be allowed for the sole admission of players of visiting clubs and for the exclusive use of the officials of the homo club and policemen on duty, and that no person other than these be permitted to use such pri vate entrance. TIIE 40 FEB CENT. This report wes adopted with the following amendment: That the 40 per cent of gate re ceipts mentioned in section 60 be construed and understood to mean 20 cents per capita, turn stile count, except in the case of Philadelphia, Shall be paid. It was nearly 5 o'clock when the representa tives got together again. Discussion of the schedule took up most of the time till 7 o'clock. The Schedule Commute presented no formal report but gave an outline of what it had done and what its report would be. Meanwhile they proceeded to get in its stab at the Plavers' Na tional League by refusing to take official no tice of that organization. Mr. Young's entry on his minutes was "communications of F. 11. Brnneil read ana laid on the table." After this the Schedule Committhe recommended that the mileago of each club be averaged and be first thing to be taken up in the morning. There Is now but little doubt that the National League or 1S90 will be composed of ten clubs. Detroit will take Washington's place and In dianapolis will stick, BP.DKELL'S MESSAGE. During to-day's session a communication was received containing an offer of $1,000,000 for the franchises and clubs of the National League, and asked what the meeting wished to do with it. Some one suggested that, inasmuch as the question would probably have to be discussed at considerable length before being settled, it would be a gooa plan to adjourn for dinner. It was laid on the table, along with Mr. Brunell's effusion. Ralph Cohen, of the Columbus clnb, and John B. Day. of New York, had a long confer ence this alternoon with regard to the Lenanc case. Cohen displayed several letters and affi davits showing that the Columbus club had j. right to negotiate with Lehancac the time he was signed, but Day was not disposed to give up bis claim to the man. When last seen Cohen was vowing vengeance upon the League. Day says he intends to let the Board of Arbi tration settle the matter. HAKL0X GOES EAST. The Dunlnp Case and the Lntr Sntts Prompt Ills Departure. Manager Hanlon, of the new local club, left for Philadelphia last evening. His mission was not definitely made public, but it was understood that he goes there to try and have matters fixed up in the Dunlap case. Dnnlap is not inclined to be frozen out, and he wants to know exactly where he stands in the new league. Mr. Hanlon will confer with Mr. Love, of the Philadelphia Brotherhood club, on the matter, and doubtless the outs and ins of Dun lap's release from Pittsburg will be satisfac torily explained. Manager Hanlon will also confer with the Philadelphia and New York Brotherhood of ficials relative to the law suits. Itis now con sidered that one or more local players will be sued, and the local Brotherhood authorities want the advice of the Eastern people who have been in the fight already. At any rate' the best lawyers in the State will represent tho local Brotherhood club If any court warfare starts here. M0EE SUITS EXTEEED. Tim Keefe, Gore nnd Dnnny Richardson Now Under Fire. New York, March 4 Three new cases have been begun by the Metropolitan Exhibition Company in the Supreme Court. The defend ants in the three new injunction suits are the famous Pitcher Timothy J. Keefe, fielder George Gore and Second Baseman Daniel Richardson. This is bnt an active beginning of the suits that 'are contemplated against all the other members of the old "Giant" team who have de serted. As tho summonses are returnable in2u days the new suits are quite likely to interfere with the club's intended tour South. SECRETARY TEXEE'S DENIAL. Be Kills n Report Thnt Might Injure tho New I.ocnl Clnb. Secretary John Tener, of the local Brother hood clnb. personally requested The Dis patch yesterday to deny emphatically the rumor very foolishly circulated to the effect that the sew local club's admission fee will be 25 cents. Mr. Tenerwas indignant that such a report should ever go before the public He claimed, and with sound common sense, that if the new clnb cannot exist at a SO-cent rate it cannot exist at all; besides he argues that it is not intended to put up a chean-jacK kind of ball. Mr. Tener ana his fellow officials were extremely sorry that a report, which micht have been designed to Injure the new clnb. should find its way into print without the necessary precaution being used to find out its tiuth. FOEEMAFS ST0EY. Tho Ex-Balilmoro Pitcher Tell Some Very Startling Facts lie Males That the Brotherhood Tried Kcally to Bribe Illm Co Lcnve the League. Baltijioke, March 4. Frank Foreman called at the Baltimore club's headquarters to day. He expects io report to "Tom" Lof tus at Cincinnati on or about the 20th inst. Foreman said: "Last Sunday afternoon I received a visit from Director Wagner, of the Philadelphia Players' Club. He came to my house in a hack and had three gentlemen with him. The others remained in the hack while Mr. Wacncr came into the house. We had a long talk. He urged me to co back with him to Philadelphia. Among other things, he told me that my con tract with Cincinnati was comparatively worth less, inasmuch as it gave Mr. Stern a chance to release mc at any time on ten days' notice. The contract, he said further, wouldn't hold in the courts and. for that matter, no baseball contract would. Then he offered me a very big lump of money to rejoin his team and counted out $2,000 in bank notes and laid it on the table. He said I could nave it if I would consent to go with him. I refused point blank. I told him I had a per sonal contract with Mr. Stern which insured me work for three years to play ball in the summer and work in his business house in the offseason. This contract was drawn up In New York by Lawyer Abe' Hummel upon tho same lines as the now famous contract on which Colonel McCault holds Marion Manola. Finally Mr. Wagner proposed that I should go over to Philadelphia for a day or two, simply as bis cnest, and acreed not to talk baseball on the journey. I thanked him. and declined the invitation. I told him that I had done all the contract signing I intended to do for the next three j ears. Then Mr. Wagner and his friends got in their hack and drove back to town." LOST THEIR GROUNDS. The F.ast End Athletic Will Flay at the Exposition Park. Secretary Will Barr resigned his position as Secretary of the Allegheny County Baseball League yesterday. He will leave home to-mor row to join the other seven young men at New York and leave that city on Saturday for En gland. He banded bis books and papers to Mr. Edwards, the official scorer of the league and manager of the East End Athletics. The East End Athletics have lost their grounds, as the owner of that property needs the land for other purposes. The Athletics, bowever, have made arrangements to play on the local Brotherhood grounds, which is a very desirable change. The Beaver Greys will join the leagne under the same conaitions as the Greensburg club pro posed, and the Braadock club has been assured ot enclosed grounds, so that the two teams will probably be found members of the County League.

Mr. SlcCor mick has had Homewood located at Bockville, lnd lor some time, and the horse left there yesterday. Sire Bros, have commissioned Mr. Predmore to purchase any number of good trotters and accrs for European owners.

Mr. Predmore has other good ones in view. GOOD TE0TTEES SOLD. Buyers Pay Hlsh Prices for Sir. Hamlin's Well Bred Horses. New York, March 4. Tho great sale of tho trotting stock of C. U.

There will not be a race between McClelland and Priddy for some time to come at least. The letter is not inclined to run any more at present, but his backer says that McClelland can have a five-mile race in the spring for 2,000 aside. A FIveOHIo Knee. There is talk of a five-mile race between Ed Kikirk and Andy Siebert for 50 a side. Niklrk states that he will meet Blebert and his backer at this office this evening at 8 o'clock to sign articles for the race. Pporilnc Notes. Ike Harris wants to run "Monday" a quar ter of a mile race for $200 a side. CON 6TANT Reader: Priddy did not defeat McCelland by 100 yards in their one-mile race, and A loses. R. W. B.: If no special arrangement was made previous to the game the balls only, count for game. John Tener and Fred Carroll had a great game at handball yesterday. Fred wearied, and John was the winner. It is safe to predict that John Tener will make a first-class business man in baseball affairs if he remains in that business. A FORFEIT of $500 is expected in this city this week to back Demps ey against Fogarty in a fight to a finish for $2,500 a side and a purse.

Buck Ewins is a great admirer of Jake Schaef er, who has given him many points on the gentlemen's game. Buck was very confi dent that Schacter would defeat Slosson on Saturday night, and when Mr. Allen, one of the agents of the Coogan etsate, offered to bet a silk bat that Slosson would win. Buck quick ly snapped bim up. At the conclusion of the game Buck's usual smile was very conspicuous by its absence. PART OP THE PENNSYLVANIA. The Columbia nnd Port Deposit Road Bought by the Compnny. Philadelphia, March 4. The Col umbia and Port Deposit Bailroad was sold at auct'on at the Philadelphia Exchange to-day, the purchasers being the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company. The pric: paid was 1,890,000. A number ot prominent railroad officials, including President Eoberts, of the Pennsylvania, attended the sale. The railroad extends from Columbia, Lancaster county, to Port Deposit, Cecil county, Md., where it connected with the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore. The sale was made utider two mortgages dated February 1, 1668 and March 'Jo. 1876, held by the Pennsylvania Bailroad Com pany. ' The purchase money covers the amount ot the mortgages. George Kngler representing the Pennsyl vania Railroad was the purchaser. There was no other bidder. Mr. Kugler handed a check for $50,000 to the auctioneers and upon payment of the balance the property will be turned over to the Pennsylvania Kailroad. The State of Maryland has an interest in the road, and the sale is a result of a con ference between the representatives of the State and the Pennsylvania Kailroad. WORRIED OYER THEIR DEFEAT. Meeting of the Now York World's Fair Executive Committer. New Yobk, March 4. There was a meeting of the World's Fair Executive Committee to-day. Mayor Grant presided. The meeting was strictly an executive and secret one, and lasted hut a short time. It was stated by Secretary Speer that the vic tory of Chicago in the House of Representa tives ou the question of the site, and the question as to what ought to be done by the New York World's Fair Committee under the circumstmces, had been discussed. It was finally decided that everything should be left as before. The general sentiment of the committee was that Chicago had only won by the small majority of two on the eighth ballot the right to have its name inserted in a skeleton World's Fair bill, that this bill itself hafl not yet been voted upon, and that the whole matter had to yet come up in the Senate of the United States. It was still possible that the decision of the House might be changed, and at any rate, the only thing for the committee, under the circumstances to do, was to wait and see what was the final de cision of Congress. STATE CONTENTION OF MINERS. President McBryde Advises Them Io Stand by tbe Scnle of Prices. Speingfield, III., March 4. AboutGO miners were present when the State Conven tion of Miners opened in the Senate cham ber at the State House this morning. P. H. McBryde, of Pennsylvania, Presi dent of the National Executive Board, made a few remarks, advising the miners to stand by the scale of prices adopted at tbe recent convention at Columbus, O., and to refuse to hold any conference wi'h the operators on the subject. Nothing but a preliminary or ganization was effected this morning. "The convention will last three days. Cozt corners in hotels are hard to find, yet anyone stoppinc at the Sturtevant House, Broadway andTwenty-niuth St., N.Y.. will be able to find a good many of them.

Jury Completed in the Abram's Homicide Case at Dniontown. LIYEKI STABLE BDKXED AT BEATEE. The Building and Carriages Destroyed, hut All' the Horses Sated. Carrollton, O.. society people are torn up over the case of a Mr. Moore, a widower, who is said to have deeded a farm to a widow on the promise that she would marry him. The Bellefonte Democrats spring a very clever trap on their Republican brethren. A jury has been secured in the Abram's homicide case at Uniontown. rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE SISPATCH.1 Cakeolltoit, O., March 4. Carrollton society is very much torn up over the de velopments in the Moore case, which is now being tried before Judge Fcrrall, John Moore, a prominent citizen, who owns con siderable real estate in around this city, being the defendant. His son, John Moore, of Salineville, Jacob Moore, of this city, Mrs. George Devore and Mrs. Beatty Stroyer, of this city, are the plaintiffs. It is said that Mr. Moore, who is 83 years of age, about two weeks ago deeded one of his farms, containing about 120 acres and worth $6,000, to Mrs. Susan IJIley, a widow who has been acting as his housekeeper. His family are try ing to prove bim incapable of transacting busi ness, and pray that a guardian bo appointed. Some very qneer testimony has been given in regard to the friendship that has been existing between the widow and her aged admirer. It is alleged that the younc and handsome widow promised to marry Moore if he would deed her the 120-acre farm which lies two miles east of this city. After she secured the deed she refused to marry bim as she had been drawing a fat pension since her late husband's demise. Last week Willie Lilley, a son of tbo widow, was arrested and tried before Mayor Deford charged with stealing wood from the plaintiff's land. In the petition it is claimed that Moore, nndcr the spell cast by the beauti ful widow, will transfer all his personal and real estate to Mrs. Lilley unless a guardian is appointed at once. Nearly 40 witnesses were examined to-day. most of whom testified to the soundness of mind and business qualifications of Mr. Moore, He is a very bright and active man for bis age, and declares he will light them long and bard before they shall get control of his wealth. ABRAM'S HOMICIDE CASE. A Jnrr Secured and Two Witnesses Ex amined When Court Adjonrns. ISPECIAL TELEOKAM TO TUB DIEPATCTI.l UNIONTOWN. March 4. At 5 o'clock this evening the jury in the Abrams homicide case was completed. Attorney Westrezort opened the case before the jury In a half-hour speech. J. H. Bowell, a brother of the dead man, was then examined. He did not witness the kill ing, but was on the scene soon afterward. Court then took an adjournment until to-morrow. The Commonwealth has about 30 wit nesses subpoenaed and the defense but 12. The trial will probably occupy the greater part of this week, PIKE AT BEATER FALLS.

Both losses are partly covered by in surance. DEMOCRATS TOO SLEEK P0R 'EM. Although They Are In a Minority, They Se cure Control of tbe Committees. tSrECIAL TXLXOBAM TO THB DISPATCn.I Bellefonte, March 4. Quite a lively time was experienced here last night at a meeting of tho Council, which is Republican by one majority. The Democrats, however, turned in and elected Sam Gault, a staunch Republican, as Chairman, and that gentleman turned in and cave the Democrats control of all the im portant committees. The Republican Council is thus made practically Democratic by tbe clever trick. OVER-PRESSURE OP GAS. Rhodes t Ferguson's Store at Denver Falls Destroyed by Fire.

Press reports ema nating irom Topeka concerning the alleged scheme to colonize Oklahoma and make a negro State have aroused the settlers to a high pitch of excitement. Twenty miles west of here at Downs the settlers have been especially aroused in the matter and a se cret organization there has decided to drive out the few negroes. Four miles northeast of Downs resides a colored family named Hawkins, and near him another colored family, Burgess by name. Hawkins was suspected of firing the prairie grass a short time ago. At an early hour this morn ing a party of ten masked men from Downs broke into Hawkins' house, took him from his bed and severely whipped him. Dnring the whipping Buck Hawkins, a son, ran and aroused the Burgess family. Abe Clark and Sam Burgess armed themselves with shotguns and returned with young Hawkins to the scene of the outrage. They fired at the masked party from ambush. The masked party was utterly peppered with shot and Henry Chambers was badly hurt about the head and face. The negroes were pursued and before they could load again the whole party was surrounded by the irate settlers, who held their Winches ters on them. The negroes were thoroughly frightened and promised to leave the country. The elder Hawkins arrived at Kingfisher to night and asked protection. He claims that the outrage was planned by Wood Davis, who is contesting bis claim. The settler who was wounded during the melee near Downs, and who gave the name of Henry Chambers, is supposed to be Wood Davis, a store keeper at Downs. He is in a precarious condition. CHARGES OP CKUELTI. Investigating tho Couduct of Captain ill A. Hoaly, of the Revenue Cutter Bonr. Sajt Francisco, March 4. An investi gation of tbe charges of cruelty and mis conduct against Captain M. A. Healy, of the revenue cutter Bear, is in progress here before the commission appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury for that purpose. The principal accusations against Captain Healy is that, while the Bear was in the Arctic last summer, he ordered two sailors on the bark Estella, against whom some charge had been reported by the Captain of that vessel, taken aboard the Bear and triced up. To-day James Hughes, Master at Arms of tbe Bear, testified that 'in June last, while the Bear was lying at Ounalaska alongside of the bark Estella, he had taken two sailors aboard the Bear lroui the Estella, and had triced them up, under Captain Hcalj's orders. He had left them in that position about five or seven minutes, with their toes just touching the deck. The men were let down and handcuffed to the stanchions below the deck seven hours, when they were triced ud a second time. The witness said Lieu tenant Bulinen superintended tbe tricing up. The witness also said that at Point Hope, in July last, by Captain Healy's orders, 21 sailors on the bark Wanderer were placed in irons, and six of the men fainted. The witness said lie had never known Captain Healy to 111 treat members of his own crew. The investigation ad journed till next week. Campbell and StniTto Visit Cincinnati. Columbus, March 4.

Philadelphia, March 4. Presiding Judge Thayer to-day delivered a lengthy opinion deciding in favor of the trustees of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America in its suit against the Board of Revision of Taxes of the city of Philadelphia. The question at issue was whether the moneys and securities which, it is admitted are held by the plaintiffs as trustees for purely public charitable purposes are tax able under the act of June 1, 18S9, for State purposes. Tbe opinion rendered by Judge Thayer is to the effect that the purpose of the framers of the State tax laws was that charitable and beneficial trusts were not to be levied upon.

Of what use is wealth without health? Keep your feet dry, but do not wear over shoes all the time. Remember that the pores of your skin, when in health, are always open, and that closing tbem causes sickness. Dress warmly, but not heavily. Woolen clothing that permits the exhalations of the body to escape, is the best. Eat strengthening and hearty, but not too much greasy food. It is a mistake to suppose that fat lood contains the most vitality. If you feel chilly at any time take a drink of pure whisky at once. Duffy's Pure Malt is the purest and best and has the highest recom mendations. Do not call tbe Doctor for every slight ail ment.
