"How much time" do you want for tralningf" asked the reporter. "I haven't thought of that yet I'm In fairly rood condition now. I've been taking good care of myself lately and It would not require such a lone time to harden my muscles. Three months or so would be ample time. If the match is arranged I shall train as never before, for I am satisfied that Jackson will be no mean ouponeut, and 1 must be in first-class shape to win. "I am now willing to negotiate with the Cali fornia Athletic Club. I couldn't do anything abont the match while my sentence was hang ins over me. I think that is now settled, and if the club officers want me to fight Jackson in their rooms I should like to hear from them." STANFORD'S STOCK. Captain Clements, of the Philadelphia League club, arrived home and talks inter estingly abont League affairs. He denies that either be, Gleason or Thompson have ever thought of jumping. John L. Sulli van offers to fight Peter Jackson lor a purse of 520,000. Pat Farrell is ready to fight Arthur Upham for a substantial purse. rSPKCIAt. TTLEGKAM TO TITE DIEPATCH.l Philadelphia, March 25. In compli ance with a telegram lrom his wife, stating that his little boy was dangerously ill, Cap tain Clements, of the Philadelphia League team, took the first train from Richmond and arrived in this city late last night. He visited Colonel Itogers at his office and emphatically denied all reports of bis alleged intended desertion. To-night be was seen at his cozy home, and was asked if the reports that had come from the South were true. He said: "I have never, cither directly or indirectly, expressed any desire to join the Brotherhood, and I would not do so now if I could. I've never written any letter to any member of the Brotherhood club asking them to use their influence for me, nor have I authorized anyone else to do so. Everything that has been said about mo in this connection is a pack of lies and I challenge anyone to truthfully refute this assertion." "WILL STICK TO FBIENDS. "Xo, sir! I shall not desert the men who have treated me fairly and before I would play with the Brotherhood I would give up playing entirely. These poeple here have always acted honestly with me and I think It my duty to stand by them now, and so long as tbey want my services and 1 am capable, I will be found with the Philadelphia League team. "To show you that it was not 1 that wanted to desert, but that they were trying to make me do so. I received a telegram signed J. Earl "Wagner as lollows 'If you are willing we will transfer you" to Cleveland. It is your last chance.' This was dated March 22, and after I had shown it to Manager Wright 1 tore it up. This man Burbridge yon hear so much about is the one who has caused all the trouble and talk. After I found out what kind of a man he as I avoided him at all times. "As to Delehanty. I talked o him and did all in my power to dissuade him from taking what I consider a foolish step, but he is a free agent, of course, and pleased himself. TRUE TO THE LEAGUE. But the others are all right. Gleason, Myers and Thompson would not play with the Broth erhood under any consideration, and on the other hand are beart and soul in their work for the League. We have not anything against the other boys, and for my part I wish them all the Euccess possible, but I do not think they are treating their managers quite right and I will not be one of their number. You can de pend on us to do all in our power lor the Phil lies." When the team was referred to the Captain at once grew enthusiastic, and he expressed his delight at their prospects in the following language: "That is a great team of ours, and jou don't want to forget them in anv calcula tions you may make. The new men are all good players, and are stronger to-day than w e everwere before. Our man McCauley. at first, is a beautiful player, and greatly strengthens that position. He is a good hitter, a sure catch and a fair runner, but his strong point is on low thrown balls. He fairly smothers these. In Allen, at short, we have the best man that covered that position since I have been a mem ber of the team, and that Is saying a good deal. MAEVELOUS PLAYING. But bis playing is simply marvelous. He plays his position deep and is a strong accurate thrower. He can use the stick handily and is a good runner. Mayer is another. As soon as I saw him handle a ball I could see that he was a player, and he is. He is a dark horse, and before this season is ended you will hear from him. Heia capital fielder and base runner and a good free hitter. In Burke and Hamil ton we have two of the best outfielders playing to-day. Burke takes the most desperate chances on everything, and although he drops a Miiunce maniiue 11 is oniy on sucn plays that others would not attempt. He covers an immense amount of territory, and can bat and run the bases with any of them. This is also true of Hamilton, but he beats anything on the bases I ever saw. He will give the peo ple such an exhibition of stealing as they have never witnessed. He ie also good in the field and free-with the bat. Of course, as to the old men, everyone know s they are able to do their share at any time. In pitchers we have a lot of young blood, and if I am not mistaken many of them will turn out to be good ones. Our catch ers are all in first-class tuape and doing rood work."

"Now that I have settled that Mississippi trouble I want to attend to Jackson's claims to the championship," said John L. Sullivan to-day. "I ain anxious to have one more battle before 1 retire from the ring, and of course Jackson is the only man to be thought of just now. "If the California Athletic Clnb or any other club will nut up a purse 0! $20,000 for a Dght between Jackson and myself, I will meet him in a battle lor the championship. I don't care what the gloves are so long as they come within the restrictions of the law. "I will not. under any circumstances, fight a ring fight again. Hereafter all matches must conform to the law. I've had enough of this illegal business. It was not worth the trouble I've had. I've spent nearly all I won in that fight trying to get clear of the law. Well, I won't do it again. That's certain. T ve heard lots of criticism abont naming such a high figure for the purse. Tboe folks don't know anything about it, It costs me a great deal to train lor a. fight, and before I get ready to enter the ring I've spent more than or dinary prizes amount to. That would leave me without any compensation for Sgbting. I con sider my time worth something, and I intend to have my figure. "For those reasons I shall demand at least r,000 and shall stick to it. It it Is not worth Pat Farrell Ready to Fight Upbum at New Orlonns. A telegmm in behalf of Pat Farrell was sent to New Orleans yesterday accepting the condi tions offered by Arthur Upham, The latter has been wanting a fight for some time, and now that the Young Men's Clnb of New Or leans is disposed to offer a reasonable purse, Farrell is willing to fight Upham. The prospect of a battle for Farrell. nvn with a man like Upham. will be interesting to local and national sports. If Farrell cannot defeat Upham that will end all his pretensions, bnt it seems safe to say that Farrell won't be beaten. The definite arrangements will be known in a few days. No Match Made. The McClelland and Priddy party did not meet last right, and the sporting editor of this paper returned McClelland's forfeit. The for feit, it will be understood, was put up for Mc Clelland to run Priddy a five-mile race. Priddv cannot very well run for some time to come, owing to an important death in the family. He will, however, be ready to talk business to McClelland at a time when match-making to him (Priddy) will be more in order than now. McClelland, on the other hand, does not want to hear any more talk about a five-mile race J uuicsa lue money is put up. Corcoran In Town. Corcoran, the new local club's shortstop, ar rived yesterday. Ho is a fine and athletic look ing young man. and appears to be every inch a ball player. His build is of that kind that means activity and his conversation shows in telligence. Mr. Corcoran expects to interest Pittsburgers. and if all accounts are true he will gratify all the cranks as far as his playing is concerned. Moxtclaire, N. J , March 25. One of the most repectable and respected citizens of this town has been James Tuthill, a boss mason. He came here from Port Jervis five years ago. He married and went to live in a cozy home on Bloomfield avenue. He and his wife joined the Montclaire Congre gational Church, and won the respect and esteem of their neighbors. Tuthill became very popular with bis fellow townsmen He joined several social clubs, and everyone who knew him liked him. He never drank nor swore, was ever ready to help anyone in need and counted his friends by the score. Many of the residents of Jlontclairearc men of wealth, doing business in New York. Tuthill did work for them all, was received on friendly terms in their homes and seemed in a fair way of amassing a fortune. To-day all this is changed. He is a pris oner in the Raymond street jail, Brooklyn, his wife is locked in jail at Newark, and their names are execrated by the same peo ple who only a week ago were proud to be seen on the streets with them. The emi nently respected Mr. Tuthill has been found out to be the reckless burglar who for the past few years has been robbing the home of the wealthy in Montclaire, Glen Ridge, Bloomfield, Orange and surrounding towns, and his wife is suspected of being his accom plice. Shortly after Tuthill came here to live several bold burglaries were committed. The bnrgjar was tearless. He selected only the finest residences in which to find his plunder. As the burglar was always masked no one could give a description of him. Mr. Tuchill's house was never entered. and while he was loud and devout in his thanks to the Almighty for sparing such a visitation, he was counseling those who had suffered by the depredations of the mid night intruder. BOBBING A DEAR FKIEND. A week ago last Monday night the resi dence of George Booth, a mason and per sonal friend of Tuthill, was entered by the lone burglar. Mr. Robertson, who is think ing of moving to Montclaire, was a guest. As the clock was tolling 12 he was aroused by his bedroom window being opened and a man lightly jumped into the room from the veranda, Mr. Robertson watched him and saw him coolly strike a match on the wall and look about. Then he deltly abstracted Mr. Robertson's gold watch lrom his vest,and the match went out. The thief was striking another match when Mr. Robertson jumped out ot bed and grappled with him. The cold muzzle of a pistol made him let go quickly, and as be fell back on the bed the burglar laughed sarcastically and swung himself out of the window and got away. Mr. Robertson awoke the house bold. While he was telling his experience the burglar was less than a block away get ting into the residence of John Manuel, an other mason and warm friend of the good Mr. Tuthill. Manuel was aroused before the burglar got into his room though, and gave him battle on the piazza. The thief's mask came off in the struggle and Mr. Manuel could hardly believe his senses, for the face he recognized was that of his friend, the village favorite, "Jim" Tuthill. The latter broke away and got off safely for the time being. Thursday night, in the presence of a number of friends, Manuel said: "lam sure the man who robbed me was Jim Tuthill, but I am not sure enough to swear it." He was scoffed at, but held doggedly to his opinion. At last it was determined to give Mr. Robertson, who did not know Tuthill, a chance to see if he could identify him. By the flickering light of the match'in his room he had partially seen the burglar's face. f Saturday morning Tuthill was summoned to DeWitt's carpenter shop, on Spring street, to give an estimate on an imaginary contract for masonry. A dozen of his friends met, as if by accident, on the way. The crowd entered the carpenter's shop. Mr. Robertson was there, intent apparently on his own business. The men passed him and he looked sharply at them, and when his eyes rested on Tuthill he sprang forward and grasped the good man by the shoulders, exclaiming excitedly: CAUSING MFCBLTALK.. Store Abont Chief Ellicl'a Remarks at That Award IhTectfnff. The remarks of Chief Elliot, at the meeting of the Department of Awards, have been made the subject of discussion very generally ever since. City Treasurer Major Joseph F. Dennis ton said: "I know nothing about the matter beyond the fact that my chief clerk wrote the letter in question to the Department of Awards, and I certainly indorse bis recom mendations. Here are some of the books lurnlshed last year, and you can see dozens of pages loose through fanlty binding. You can also see that the quality of the paper is much poorer than that we are now using. We are in the habit in the Treasurer's office of sending in specifications to the Finance Com mittee, showing the stylo of printing and rul ing necessary, as well as the quality of paper required. For these things we bave to consult experts in tho various departments, and al though the recommendations in this respect have been hitherto respectfully treated I have no fault to find with the action of the depart ment in tiling the recommendation of my office." Charles F. Peck, the printer, who is alluded to rather unfavorably In the letter attributed to and acknowledged by the City Treasurer, says: "Our house has been doing city work for four years. In 1SSS we were given the contract for the tax books. We finished them three weeks be fore they were needed, and Treasurer Dennis ston. Chief Clerk Torrance and H. H. Ben gough, then one of the clerks, expressed the greatest satisfaction with them. In ISS'J we did not have the contract. I was present when the books were received, and the talk about their poor quality and workmanship was not Sabbath-school talk. I am told that the Controller was asked to withhold the warrant for these books, but refused unless tho books were re jected. As they were not in until the last day tms couia not do aone. KememDer. tnese were not our books. I have been on good terms with everybody around the hall, and can't imagine why this was done or why these newspaper arti cles wero published. My work is in the hall.aud I am perfectly willing that it shall be tested aua compared with any standard." METHODISTS IN LINE. A Decidedly Enthusiastic Meeting at the National Capital.

A little after midnight Constable Boyle, of Alderman Richards' office, touched the button of the county jail to take in John Martin, colored, a resident of Basin alley, John had a black eye, a cut head and a history. His wife had sued him before Alderman Richards for non-support and ho appeared last evening to answer the charge. The proceedings were alias solemn as the usual actions before a justice until the testi mony began to accumulate against Martin, who thought his best plan would be to take a change of venue without an appeal, and dived through the window of the office to the pave ment, some eight feet below, at 79 Washington street, carrying the sash, glass and several cuts with him as souvenirs of the occasion. Constable P. Boyle took tho more conven tional route by the door and captured the negro about four blocks away after a swift chase. He brought tho man to the jail committed for a hearing next Saturday on charges enough to explode a dynamite gnn. Martin was a non-union puddler at the Solar Iron Works durincr thft AtriVn Mnmn Mma ftirn but has lately adopted the more artistic pro fession of whitewashing. He is somewhat tanned in complexion, about 6 feet 5 inches in height, and wears his beard in Burnside whisker shape. Constable Boyle said that as a sprinter Martin is certainly a good amateur. IN TUB WRONG HOUSE. Colonel Schoonmnker Snys lie U Not Hav ing any Mosaic Work Done. Colonel J. M. Schoonmaker says he Is not having any mosaic tile work done on his new house nor is be under contract to bavjft any done. This statement is made in denial of the report that the Colonel was giving work to non union men. It is probable that Colonel Schoonmaker's name got confounded with somebody else. The men employed on Mr. C. L. Magee's new house in Oakland threatened to strike against the imnortation of outside men to do some "hang ing" work. The contract was let by the archi tect to a firm in Boston, who sent men here to do the work. When they arrived they could not show their Union cards and the other workmen threatened to go out. The firm then sent some men from New York but they had cards from the United Order of Carpenters. This organization is not recognized by the In ternational Brotherhood of Carpenters and tho new men were also told to go home. DEATH OP "SQUIRE BLACKBURN.

His friends, every one of whom would have sworn to his innocence a moment before, fell away from him. The man's. acting was su perb. Not in anger, but gently and in the voice of the God-learing, respectable citi zen, which be always was in the day time, he reproached Mr. Robertson for his accusa tion. Then turning sadly, he left the shop slowly with downcast eves and head. His manner impressed the majority of those present, but Robertson insisted that he was the thief and Manuel backed him. They got a warrant to search Tuthill's bouse. When they went there with an officer, Tut hill was not in, but his pretty wife received them so graciously that tbey did not have theheart to make known the object of their rvisit and turned away again to wait until Tuthill came home. The had not gone far when they saw him coming down the street, and they returned with him. His wife be came hysterical when she learned of the charges against her darling husband. Nev ertheless they began a search of the house. Thev found nothing up stairs. Then Rob ertson suggested searching the cellar. There they found a gold and diamond mine buried in the party-walls, and thrown in concealed crevices were rings, watches, diamonds, pocketbooks, money, bracelets, breastpins, earrings, watch chains and every kind of jewelry, representing many thousands of dollars, and some of which were .stolen years ago. The plunder was placed in a bag and taken. The burglar meanwhile had jumped on his horse anil ridden furiously to Bloomfield, where he took an express to lioboken. He was traced to Brooklyn, was arrested and locked up. Tuthill strenuously denied his guilt, and 'claimed that if he were really guilty he was not responsible, as he had no recollection of everrobbing anyone. His former friends now believe that he is the captain of a robber band, and that his pretty wile is his trusted lieutenant. She was arrested yester day morning at her home and arraigned and committed to jail at Newark. It is said that she has made a full confession. France Protesting Against McKinley. Paeis, March 25.

An enthusiastic meeting was held at Washington last night in the interest of the N ational Methodist Episcopal University. G enerous subscriptions have been received and more are promised. Several Senators and other noted persons are interested. rrnoM a statp cokbespoxdiht.j iiyr Washington, March 25. Though the evening was very unfavorable for a large meeting, on account of rain, the Metropoli tan Methodist Episcopal Church was filled with men and women interested in the pro ject of a National University to be estab lished under the auspices of the Methodist Church. It was the first public meeting held to discuss the question of the univer sity, and to prove thai Washington is will ing to do it's share in the great work. After tbe customary preliminary exer cises, Bishop Hurst was called to preside, and a long list of Vice Presidents was read, among the names being those of Senators Sawyer, Teller, Colquitt, Cameron, Blair and Hawley, ex-Governor Pattison. of Pennsylvania; Secretary Windom, Clem Studebaker, Assistant Secretary Bussey, Frank Hatton and Assistant Secretary Batcbellor. ALL TVERE ENTHUSIASTIC. Enthusiastic addresses were made by Bishop Hurst, Dr. Bartlett, Representative Morse, of Massachusetts, senator Hawley and Bishop Newman. Dr. Bnrtlett's special point was that in this time of rapidly 'increasing agnosticism it was the duty of the Church to make such eflorts as the one in hand. Senator Hawleydwelt particularly on the advantages of Washington as a place for such a university, and Dr. Newman's most telling hit was a declaration that it would be emphatically nn American university, with the chairs filled by American profes sors, nnd that tbe Secretary of the Treasury would not, therefore, be vexed with the question whether the professors could enter the country without committing an infrac tion or the alien contract labor law. This sarcastic allusion to the fact that the new Catholic university, established here, employed foreign professors who wonld not presumably be deeply in love with Ameri can institutions, was received with tremend ous applause. The Doctor also declared in favor of professorships for instruction in statesmanship and journalism and lor the admission of any worthy applicant regard less of sex or previous condition, though he carefully avoided saying, "regardless of color." A list was read ot names of persons who had privately subscribed to the aggre gate amount of about $20,000. HEADED THE LIST. Matthew G. Emery and Benjamm Charl ton, of this city, subscribed $5,000. B. H. Warner, the rich real estate speculator, gave $10,000. There were several $2,000 subscriptions. Mr. Clem Studebaker gave $500, Mrs. Clem Studebaker $250, collected in dollar subscriptions from young ladies of South Bend, Ind.; Representative Morse, the stove blacking millionaire, $100, and many others in small sums, aggregating nearly $2,000. Collectors were selected after the reading ot these names, who passed through the room and received subscriptions to the amount of nearly $5,000. Ex-Congressman Patton, of the o'ld Clearfield district, put down his autograph for $500. Altogether there is now subscribed $33,550. Bishop Newman guaranteed that Washington would raise at least$50,000, and others think the entire $100,000 necessary for the pur chase of the 00 acres of laud contracted for will be subscribed in Washington. It is known that a number of wealthy persons are merely waitiug to measure tbe enthusiasm of the masses in the churches to subscribe large sums. One gentleman present this evening has virtually pledged himself for a hundred thousand. The land is situated west of the Tenleytown road, near Tenleytown, and only a short distance northwest of President Cleveland's late country home. It is a fine property, with a splendid view, and will within a few weeks be reached by the new electric railroad building from Georgetown to Tenleytown. As ex-Congressman Patton remarked, the purchase is a good one for speculation, and half of the land in the purchase will be worth the price paid for all within a few years. The eminent divines and laymen present havs no doubt of the success of the project, and that ground will soon be broken for tbe first building. They Aro Told Thnt tbe World la Not Call. Ins Lnstlly for Them. The twelfth annual commencement exercises of the Pittsburg College of Pharmacy were held last evening in the First M. P. Church, Fifth avenue. After prayer by Rev. David Jones, President Fred H. Eggers made the opening address. The institution was started under difficulties in the fall of 1S78 and has riten to a place second to none in tbe land. During that time 95 students have graduated and bave received the decree of Pharmaceutical Graduate. Mr. Eg gers also referred In an approving manner to the restrictive legislation the State of Pennsyl vania has of late years thrown around the twin medical professions. In delivering the salutary address Hugo Blanck. Ph. D., professor of chemistry, said that tbe institution had the repntation of being severe In the requirements demanded of aspirants in tbe drug business. This was be cause the faculty realized the importance of the duty the young druggists are called upon to perform. J. C. Dunn, M. D., delivered an interesting and instructive address to the graduates on tbe relationship between the pharmacist and the physician. He was severe on tbe patent and proprietory panaceas and their makers. He said they were made by millionaires m money and paupers in morals, and that they should be relegated to the saloon and the barber shop, where they belong. It is scarcely ten years, he said, since a man could hang out bis smngle as a physician, after a shorter apprenticeship than would make a good bootblack, and an alleged pharmacist could compound medicines with less experience than would be required to mix drinks behind a third-class bar. In conferring the degree of Ph. G. upon the graduates L. J. Bischoff, Edward E. Eggers, C. A. Kolb, H. A. Brown. John J. Frev, George Kutcher. L. L. Crawford. A. W. Heer'lein. T.S. Lindsey, J, F. Longand D. C. xellig President Eggers made special remarks about D. C. Yel lig. who made the highest general average, and tbe highest in materia medica, botany and cbemistry, and to J. F. Long, who made the highest percentage in pharmacv. Ho also made special mention or fct. H. Bulger and S. G. Porter, of the junior class. Charles A. Sullivan, Esq.. presented tho Shadyside Pharmacy prizes. The senior prize, gold medal, was received by J. F. Long. Pb. G., and the junior, silver medal, by Howard H. Bulger. S. Henry Stevens, M. D., Professor of Prac tical Pharmacy in the college, delivered the valedictory. He said: "My dear young men. let me remind you that tho world has thus far dragged along without youj it is not now call ing very lustily for you; so let me remind you that you will have to fight for success. Success was never' attained bv accident, and couceit has killed many a man." The programme closed with the benediction by Rev. J. G. Goettman, D. O. NEW "ADVERTISEMENTS. SUGGESTIONS TOR THE SEASON. MedlcalJournal.' Be specially careful of draughts and sudden changes. Do not overwork. Of what use is wealth without heal thT Keep your feet dry. bnt do not wear over shoes all the time. Remember that the pores of your skin, when in health, are always open, and that closing them causes srekness. Dress warmly, but not heavily, woolen clothing that permits the exhalations of the body to escape, i the best. Eat strengthening and hearty, but not too much greasy food. It fs a mistake to suppose that fat food contains the most vitality. If you feel cnillv at anv time take a drink of pure whiskv at once. ,Dnffy's Pure Malt is tho purest and'best and has the highest recom mendations. Do not call the Doctor for every slight ail ment. If you have a cold, feel depressed and lack appetite and vigor you need something to tone and build up the system. Nothing will do this so readily as the pure article we have met. toned.
