THE PITTSBURG-. DISPATCH. SUNDAY. APRIL ,.13, 1890. A REVIEWDT SPORTS, Features of Kcxt Saturday's Baseball Events. THINGS THAT MAT HAPPEN Pat Farrell's Chances of Defeating Arthur Upham in June. O'COXSOK AND THE AUSTRALIANS Just before the battle is a very appropriate term just now as far as baseball affairs are concerned. "We are just on the eve of the beginning of what so far has been the most cventtul conflict in the annals of baseball. Before another Sunday arrives the contend ing parties will have wheeled into line and commenced the contest, and what the end will be none ot us can tell. The time is now past for words; in a few days all of our criti cisms will to a very jrreat extent be forgot ten amid the excitement of the actual war fare. The two parties are just about to ap pear before us with all their good points and all their bad ones. Neither is pcriect, but that consideration will have little weight now, and, as the poet said of his country, so will the majority -of the base ball public say ot the victorious League: "With all thy faults I love thee still." Public patronage is the stake at issue. The party who secures that will be the victor, for a time at least. What I mean by "for a time" is a number of years, and not many at that, be cause the revolt, if the Players' League is suc cessful. Hill always be an incentive to others to make a similar venture whenever dissatisfac tion is strong. Ana we can depend on the fact that no human organization can get along with out dissatisfaction. Well, then, whateverparty survives this conflict will-have a powerful sway for some time, but even at that the present re volt will not have been altogether in vain. About that later, however. Next Satur day will see the commencement of the straggle to please the public The latter has a duty to perform, and that is to be fair. 1 don't hesitate to say that many efforts have been made to manufacture a false sentiment in favor of the new organization, but I fail to Fee why it needs it if it can give the public a better article of ball from now on. Who among us. who know anything about the game, don't think that all the talK about "lighting for union." "escaping from the iron heel of tyranny," "throwing off the bonds of white slavery," ettv, is mere claptrap. After the ex citement of the moment is over the pnblic will care no more for thec expedient cries than the dust we tramp underfoot. Good work on the part ot the organizations is what will eventu ally carry the day no matter what may be the general fecliug just now. w About the Future. Since the conflict began I have had much to say about some features tf it. According to my humble opinion neither the Flayers' League nor the National League have acted in the wisest and safest way. What objections bave been stated are now on record, but I wish to point out thatm no instance have my objections gone beyond the methods of organization agreed to by cither party. To assail the right of anyone to act is a more serious question, and one which I hardly think is. as a rule, within my legitimate province. "What I have to deal with is more connected with the actnal results or what the organizations have done or are going to do. Well, then, what I want to say at present is something relating to the fu ture. We are now at ono end of the battle, and in seven months from now we will be at the other end; the end where we wait until the smoke has cleared away. I expect to find an interesting state of things then. There imy be many changes. but I really don't think that cither of the organizations. , fm writing about will be out of existence. I have looked the situation over with my utmost care this list week, and I feel convinced that one year at any rate will not kill the new League; nor will it kill Hie old one. But some cities in which we find two ball clubs to-day mil only have one a year hence. For instance, Pittsburg won't have two clubs, of that I am certain. If the new local club is successful ne will find the local National League club transferred to another city, and the same may be said of the new local club. But If the Players' League is successful this year there is'a very important probability that it will deal to the National League a harder blow than has jet been given. The success or the Plajer Leacue this year means that many of the minor leagues will identify themselves with it next year. I am aware that this notion will be assailed by some very good authorities, but I cannot come to any other conclusion. It is a fact th,at the sympathies of more than one minor leacue are favorable to the new venture, and most assuredly success will cause these sympathies to spread. If this be the case, and I feel that it ill. away coes the present National agreement, and we will have two new ones. If a state of things similar to what I have just referred should present themselves. I will not by any means be sur prised. Cut. if the Players' League is beaten the old League will be stronger than ever, and lhoe ho have promoted and fosterpd th feeling of hostility will have a very unprofita ble time of it. The Young Flarcra. Iet me say a few words about the young players who have been sinned by the National League, lias it never struck any of j ou that in getting together dozens of young men almost unknown to baseball natrons and forming them into teams, the National League officials have done not onlyalaudablo piece of work, but something that is iu many respects extraor dinary? Last summer had anybody told any ,of us that almost every good player in the team was going to leave it. and that their places would have to be filled oy young and unheard of players, would we have believed that any thing like a good team could have been gotten together. I think not. And yet we have teams now that have been almost entirely built out of the ground since last winter. Now. I submit that this kind of -work is worthy of acknowl edgement; it is not only heroic, but it is in tact a great loon to the baseball public Dozens of bright and particular baseball stars will result from the bringing forth of these youngsters, and as a grana result we may be fortunate enough to get into a good ball ground for less than half a dollar. I anticipate that the efforts now being made to deveion young players will have some of the graudett results known in the history of the game. Heretofore a certain number ot ball players have to a very great extent hada monopoly, and having such have taken every advantace of it. In a com paratn ely short time w e'll have any amount of good ball players, nnd for this, if for nothing more, the Rational Leajrue deserves great credit, indeed. Then we ought to encourage the development of these souths as ball plav ers in all respects if we want evervthmc: like a monopoly broken up. " The Local Coda. During the week we have had some opportu nity of judging of the merits of the young men signed by the local National League club. They hate plajed four games on the home grounds, and almost all the players have been tried. It would be unreasonable exaggeration to say that the "colts" have put up a first-class game. They have not, but they have done re markably well. No reasonable man would ex pect these young men to have the fine nnim or the game at their fingers' end, as the saying goes. What I have looked lor, and I think every fair-minded man w ill have done the same, is the material to make good plavers and the hope of utilizing that material, I have looked for these two elements, and I feel confident that tbey are to be fceen. I will go lurtberand ay that the local National League is better than anybody could well have expected tosee it. I "mean the team has so far played better nut what they will do in the best ot company is another matter. It is only fair to give the i.lajcrb time, as it cannot oe expected that they ctn tiec themselves from nervousness iu a day. It would sumew bat ill become me to advise lUnager Hecker how to make up bis team, nut I can without any presumption., mentiun the names of two or three young "plavers that Pittsburgers may some day feel proud of. Hemp even now is about able to hold his own in any company, and Kontcliffe has proven that he can do some first-class playing. Younst. I man is a very fine young player and the wonder r , is that he has been allowed to remain with ama teur clubs so long. It is not going too far when it is said that there are many -econd hasemeu in the National League and American Associa tion who are the inferiors of Voungman. So xar he has done jnstas well as the best or play- ers coold do, in Tact he plays like an "old hand." One cannot say much about the pitch ers at present, because they bave notbeen thor eiuchlv tested. However, I expect to see Daniels. Baker and Jones develop into very good men. Of course, we will know more about them when the big hltfrs are faced. Ihere is one thing, however, that I wish to see and tnat is the public give the colts every en couragement. They deserve iu t The Local I'lnrcr' Club. Manager Hanlon has resolved to take his men to St. Louis and the resolve is a good one. It might bave been better had the team gone away and played a few games before now. The teams will play three games at St. Louis. Tues day, Wednesday and Thursdav. The practice wilfbe valuable, no doubt, as the opposing teams, Chicago and Cleveland, are in some thing like playing form. ' It will give the play ers an opportunity to get down to team work and give ansger Hanlor. a chance to see what condition his men are-in, There will also be opportunity to try all the pitchers, and alto gether the three games will be of great interest to baseball patrons of Pittsburg. X hear very good accounts about the practice work of Cor coran and Visner. -Mr. Hanlou tells. me that Corcoran isalreadya wonderfnl player at short. It will be pleasing if he turns out to be what his friends hope Visner, we all know, is a good fielder and can use the stick. I m sure pothing would please me better than to see two victorious teams in this city. At any rate. I hope to see each of them have a good and vic torious opening. The Cricketer. The annual meeting of the Pittsburg Cricket Club, held the other day. reminds ns that fine weather is not far away. To those who know anything about that historic game there is always something of a pleasureable feeling when the annual meeting of a local club is held. Cricket, or anything connected with it, always brings to mind many dear associations and happy days; that is, to those who plajed it years ago. Well, it is pleaing to know that the local club is in a flounshinc condition, and that already arrangements are being made for a series of good games. There are some heroic admirers ot the game members of the club, and probably to them is due the fact that every year Pittsburgers have opportunity to see the game. We mav be able to see the local team tackle a team of Englishmen this year. At any rate, from what 1 have been told, the local club intends to have an active season. The public ought to bestow a little more patronage on the cricketers than has been the case heretofore. They are all in the game for the absolute love ot It, and surely that is something nowadays. 1'nsllistic Affair. There has scarcely been a ripple or a breeze in thepugilisticworldthisweek. Whatbasbeen done has been mostly confined to talking and experience has taught us to know that there has to be'months of talk ana noise before any big event is definitely arranged. There does not seem much hope of John L. Sullivan and James Corbett coming together. Since I last wrote anything about these two worthies, Sullivan has declared himself to the effect that be can send Corbett '"to slecD" In four rounds. If he cannot he does not want a cent. That is just John L. Sullivan, but whether or not be could get opportunity to force matters sufficiently to knock Corbett out iu four .rounds is another matter. Corbett is not traveling round to be knocked out and I fancy it would take a very long pole to reach him when he fights a good man. I still wonder why he declines to fight Joe McAullffe. Jem Carney is again to the front with a challenge to Jack McAullffe. There has been a desire on the' part of several partisans to attack barney for always demanding McAullffe to go to England and tight. Iu this demand there was nothing unreasonable, because we all know that Carne was robbed of his fight with Mc Aullffe iu this country. However, Carney now offers to tight .McAuliffe in the same place and in the same ring' that Carroll and Mc Aullffe fought. Surely nobody can find fault wi.h that proposition, and most certainly Mc Aullffe cannot under any circumstances de cline to accept the proposition if he desires to fight any more. Carney also gives McAuliffe three or six months in 'Which to prepare ,ior the battle, and this means that tlie English man means nothing .but business. Carney, doubtless is strongly of the opinion that be is a better man than McAullffe, Tind he has rea son to think so. I ieel certain that had Car ney, iu good form, beenm front of McAuliffe mstiad Carroll, the Brooklyn ma.11 would bave been knocked out. By this I don't mean that Carroll did not do well. He fought a great fight, but I bave alwajs ranked Carnev above Carroll. Of course the former is getting -older than be was. but if he is as good as he uffcd to be he is a superior ring fighter to either Carroll or McAuliffe. I don't expect that McAuliffe will be in a hurry to fight Carnev and he. Mc Aullffe, has arranged to light Carroll it so late a date as next January. McAullffe has a very good eye to business. FnrrcTl nnd Uplinm. Negotiations have almost been concluded for a battle between Pat Farrell, of this city, and Arthur Upham. The prospects of a fight for Farrell will be very satisfactory to his friends and himself, for he bas.been on the shelf long "I enongh. what the battle willhe none of us can tell, because neither Upham .nor Farrell have been thoroughly tested. The' former has, dur ing the past few mouths, been challenging everybody, but has yet to fieht a good man. Farrell'i record entirely hangs on his "go" with Dsminlck McCaffrey, when with one blow Far rell knocked his man down and out. The con test between McCaffrey and Farrell was little or no test for Farrell, and I repeat that be has yet to prove whether 'or not he is a fighter. This fact to a great ex tent prevents my exnresslnr anv definite opinion as to uis merits. Whatever my 8jmpathies,may be I cannot well afford to al low mem to prompt me to praise a man in these columns except the absolute facts of the case warrant it The probability is, however, that Farrell will give a good account of him self. I have all along urged that some club give him a chance simply because I have an idea that he will make a good pugilist. True, there maybe cleverer boxers, but that is not all the points of righting. Farrell has to a great extent the modern American style of box ing. It is very unattractive to look at, but it is also very deceiving. That left arm with any thing but an artistic motion, as in the case of McCaffrey and others, is very treacherous. The last time 1 saw Farrell box he was very slow, but that was some time ago and I am told by a very good judge that he has improved wonder fully since then. At any rate I feel confident that Farrell will defeat anybody who is not any cleverer than himself, and I dou'tthink Upham is cleverer than Farrell. The latter is one of the most powerful middle-weights in the world and he will easily knock an opponent down if his blow gets home. Scnlllns; In Auilrnlln. There is every reason to say that the Austral- Ian scullers and their friends are trying to make matters as unpleasant and as expensive for William O'Connor as possible. The way in which the Canadian is being treated on the other side of our terrestrial ball is not at all creditable to that new and enterprising genera tion of sporting people. O'Connor went to Australia for the express purpose of rowing Stansbury or anybody else for the world's championship. But before .O'Connor arrived at the Antipodes a series or races was arranged by the Australians which means that O'Connor may have to remain in Australia almost nil the ear before he gets a race. That a flagrant in justice is being doue O'Conuor I have no doubt. The proceedings expose the entire Inisincs'. We find a man like Matterson roing lor the world's championship; wh. he couldn't win the championship of Pennsyl vania. But even after Mr. Matterson is lost off in a race with young McLean the former and Kemp have to row. Still further, after Kemp and Matterson havean inning Kcmn has promised to accommodate McLean, and all these contests are for the world's champion ship, at least that is the very foolish claim. I suppose that after Kemp and McLean do their act the winner atxl &tanbury will arrange a date, and so matters may go until all the real and alleged scullers in Australia appear.- But where is William O'Connor all this tune? Whv, be is simply takinc in all these transactions at his on expense. The conduct of the Aus tralians mav recoil on themselves. Green, Everson. Trickett and Laycock were never treated so when they left their native land to try for championship laurels. O'Connor and Americans will get their revenge, depend upon it. Pki.ngle. Lehman Drfenia Hlfcrria. An interesting foot race took place at Mc Kees Rocks yesterday afternoon between W. C Lehman, or Mount Washington, andPbil Morris. The distance was100' .yards and the stakes $50 a side. There was a good attendance of spectators, but the betting was not verv brisk. Lehmn, who was tho favorite, led from start to finish and won -by live yards in 11J seconds. An Interealtnir Swimming Match. Already a swimming match has been ar ranged to take place in the new.Natatorium when it opens. It is of a nature that will be exceedingly interesting, as the contestants are Captain T. E. Kerr ana Alexander McColl, the well-known horseman. The race is tor a sup per for 24 person-, and each gentleman put up a forfeit or ?10 yesterday as a guarantee to start. Malcolm Ford a Profr'.ilonnl. Bostojt, April 12. The Board of Managers of the Amateur Athletic Union- r6fused to accept Malcolm Ford's entry, and reported that he bo debarred from union games until ho disprove the charges of professionalism.

Hecker's colts certainly gave onr Tri-State League heroes a sound walloping to-day. The young men from Pittsburg simply let themselves loose and give the IVest Vir ginians to know where they were wrong in supposing that the National League young sters cannot play good hall. "Why, the home team was really slaughtered. Tbey were outplayed at every point and tho victory was one of the most decisive that has been seen here for some time. A FORLOBJT HOPE. The weather was fine and the attendance good. There was a kind of hope among Wheeling citizens that the visitors would be knocked out, but Guy Hecker had his colts in too good shape for anything like that to happen. The visitors really put up a splendid game all round. And didn't tbey hit the ball? Ob, what banging all round 'there was. The slugging was terriuc. Fitzgerald went in to pitch and was thoroughly knocked out in the third inning. Bishop succeeded him and fared no better. Paul Hines, Sunday and Branden burg had on their batting clothes and the Wheeling pitchers knew it. GRAY DID WELL. Gray pitched for the Pittsburgs and did ex ceedingly well. The home players could not size him up at all. He did not display any ner vousness and pitched like a veteran. The spectators were pleased to see the young visi tors play so wen. rtemp uad only one cnance ana he accepted it in great stvle. Hines played admirably at first and Youngman, as usual, pleased everybody. Bradenburg caught very well. Following is the full score: riTTSBoncs. n b r a & WHEELINGS.

The Jersey Jockey Club Will Not Allow Re mits to bo Wired. tFritCIAI. TXLXGRAJI TO TUX DISPATCH. 1 New York, April 13. The pool rooms of this city and the country at large are going to have a lively time ot It for the next few weeks if the New Jersey Jockey Club authorities ad here to their present stand in regard to tele graph facilities ac their Elizabeth course. It will be remembered that there was no tele graphic eonimunicatiom between Monmouth Park and the outside world for some time last season. The object of this was to compel per sons who wanted to bet on the races to visit the track and also to protect the interests of the bookmakers who paid a liberal snm for the privilege of making books at the track. The situation to-day is practically the same, and the hundreds of poolrooms will bo unable to do any business if they cannot receive re turns of the different events from their corre spondents at the tracKs. The Western Union Telegraph Company is fertile in schemes and tbey may be able to circumvent the Jockey club and receive tbo returns despite the clause. The bookmakers who have engaeed booking privileges at Elizabeth beginning Tuesday will certainly favor the change, while the keepers of the city poolrooms will declare the move ment autocratic and tyrannical. Tuesday next will tell the tale. A STORI ABODT WARD. Manager Hanlon Telia of the Shortstop' Grent Hnstllng Qnntitlea. Manager Hanlon. during a conversation last evening, told an interesting story regarding the earnestness with which John M. Ward worked for the oreanizaation of the Players' League. "John Ward is a remarkable man," said Hanlon. "When we were hustling in Pittsburg to get stock purchasers for our club he showed a wonderful tenacity of sticking to his ooject despite all difficulties. One morning about 9 o'clock, after he had taken a light breakfast, we started out on the huut for men to buy stock. We traveled all day and we were return ing from Allegheny about 9 o'clock in the even ing with our mission still unfulfilled. We had not had a bite to eat since breakfast, and I said: 'John. I feel like eating something.' He gave me a piercing look and said: 'Why, great Scott ! you don't think about eating and all this stock lying on our hands.' Ward is a hustler, I tell you." BALL TOSSER IN TROUBLE. The Highest Priced fllnn In the Amerlcnn Aisoclntlon Suspended. tSntCIAl. TKLXORAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! St. Louis. April 12. President Von der Ahe to-night suspended Pitcher Chamberlain with out pay until his conduct can be investigated. Chambertain was in the box at Omaha for two innings, during which time the visitors made 16 runs. To-day he went in against Quincy, and although he was allowed to pitch but two In nings he showed up as oad as in tho Omaha game. Von der Ahe will not sav what charge he will bring against Chamberlain, who is the highet priced man in the American Associa tion. The belief is that he is playing for his re lease.

TESN..April li Perfect weather, a large attendance and flue sport characterized the opening day at Montgomery Park. Starter Sheridan officiated and succeeded in making excellent starts. The Tennessee Derby, upon which all eyes were centored, was won by Robe spierre under a strong pull. Blarney Stone, Jr., a Memphis hprsc with Barnes up, sold even in the pools with tho winner, but proved a great disappointment, winding up in fourth place. The ease with which Robespierro won this race makes him a formidable adversary of Riley, the favorite in the Kentncky Derby. The 2-year-old race proved a surprise to the talent. Ithaca, a 20 to 1. shot, winning easily, al though Too Sweet, theTavorite, would have won but for a collision in the-stretch with Kose Ilow ard. the second choice.

The Boston Man Wins First Place in the Big Kace. HUGHES' BOLD CHALLENGE. Dom McCaffrey and Pat Farrell May Fight Kear This City. THE SPORTING HEWS OF THE DAT The big 142-hoar race is ended and Dan J. Herty has been declared the winner, with E. G. Moore and John Hughes a good sec ond and third, respectively. The race will long be remembered by those who saw it as a remarkable one iu many respects. The distance covered on a 16-lap track tells the stry of the severity of the contest Prob aDly never contestants struggled as have Herty Moore and Hughes, and the winner deserves all the' credit and recompense he can get. When the quality of the race is taken into con sideration it has notbeen patronized as ltought to bave been, although the average attendance has been very good. But a race of the kind as it was is not seen every year. TOOK MATTERS EASILY. Curing yesterday afternoon the attendance was not very large owins to the warm weather. The contestants were also very weary and took matters comparatively easy. Before noon, Moore found nut that he could not catch Herty, and Huches discovered that he could not overhaul Moore. As a consequence they did not make their best efforts. Moore took time to remark to the writer, that it was the "toughest race" he had ever been in. He said: "Had we been racing on Madison Square track we could easily have broken the record." The race has al-o been well managed, as all of Harry Davis' events are. He has worked hara for the successful termination of the con test; not only bard, but in all respects honestly and fairly. The scenes in the rink last evening were, in deed, lively. More than 3.000 people were in the building as early as 8:30. and tbey were full of enthusiasm. They cheered their re spective favorites to the echo, and there was some very exciting racing. The players of tho local Players' ball club presented Herty with a splendid sweater with the word Brotherhood across the creast. When Herty put it on and ran round the track the cheers were loud, in deed. Herty was also presented witn a hand some gold watch by an admirer of his pluck and endurance. Nor was Moore forgotten. A VEKT GAME MAN. He is qvery inch a centleman and one of the gamest men who goes on a track. Hnghes also received several presents. That the winners are terribly exhausted encs without saying. It will be several days bofore they will be in anything like comfortable con dition again. Noremac and Howarth have both been unfortuntto in being sick so fre quently during tne race, xney nave also Decn greatly bothered with sore feet. Herty won easily, and at 1826 the race was over. "Manager Davis, in behalf of John Huches, challenged the winner to a six-nay race for 1.000 a side. Hughes said that be bad started in the race without an hour's training. Herty is willinc to accept the challenge, the race, of course to take place in several weeks.' time. "After the bis event Hart and Golden commenced a five-milo race and Hart retired at two miles, being two laps behind Golden.

SHOT BY AN OFFICER. Policeman Cross Pats n Ballet In Joshnn fllartlc'a Leg His Companion Arrested They Slnrted to Itun When Aaked to Stop On n Tramp West. About 7 o'clock last evening Officer Cross, colored, observed fonr men whom he thought acted suspiciously, walking along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad near Glenwood station. He called on them to stop, bat they commenced to run and he followed. He finally drew his revol ver and fired after them. One ot the men fell to the ground, and another stopped beside him. The other two continued on. When the officer reached the fallen man he found that his bullet had hit him. The ball had strnck in the back part of the thigh, passing through the leg, and coming out in front. He took the other man, who gave his name as Dennis Conners, in charge, and calling No. 10 patrol wagon, sent both to the Fourteenth ward station house. Conners was locked np and the wonnded man sent to the Homeopathic Hospital. The latter was Joshua Murtle, aged 23 years, and single. Conners said that the fonr of them were cotton weavers, and had come from Fall Ri ver.Mass. Work had heen slack, and they had started to tramp it West. They had been walking along the railroad conscious of no wrongdoing, when the officer called on them and frightened them. They started to ran, when the of ficer fired and the second shot brought down Hurtle. Captain Mercer investigated the case, and was told by Officer Cross that the shots had been fired at the ground. The bullet that struck Murtle, Cross thought, had glanced upward Irom the ground. Cross was allowed to remain on his beat. The revolver used was a 33 caliber. NO TROUBLE ABOUT IT. Rev. E. It. Donehoo Agrees With Chief Blgelow Abont the Blind Institute Mite The Park Entrance Not a Good Location for Suck an Aaylnm. The talk which was enrrent yesterday of placing the Western Pennsylvania Institute for the Blind directly opposite the proposed site of the principal entrance to Schenley Park is said to have originated in a plan to get even with Chief Bigelow and R. B. Carnahan for the famous sudden trip of the latter to Europe. Chief Bigelow got Mrs. Schenley's attorney out of bed at night, shipped him upon the early Eastern express and had him on board an outgoing ocean steamer next day. The syndicate plans of utilizing the park as a speculative adjunct were thus defeated, al though every effort was made to make them a success. Rev. E. R. Donehoo yesterday afternoon visited Chiet E. M. Bigelow and acknowl edged that the location mentioned was not one desintbln for such an institution. Chief Bigelow takes the position that the asylum will not be located in the spot in dicated, as the matter will be presented to Mrs. Schenley in its; proper light. The ten acres offered bv Mrs. Schenley, it is claimed, are in a very different locality from the one pointed out, and the representation, if made, tnat the plot originally intended was leased before the offer was made, is untrue. It is certain, however, that the Blind Asylum will not spoil the enjoyment of the sightseers iu Iront of the main entrance of the coming park. So it is stated by the best authorities on the subject. CAUGHT AT I,0NG KAXGB. A BonrdlngTlonse Thief of Pittsburg Taken at Bii ralngbnm, Alnbnmn. J. A. Packard, Chief of Police of .Birm ingham, 'Ala., yesterday wired Inspector McAleese that George B. Nerpel has been captured in'That city. Nerpel is wanted in Pittsburg for a systematic and wholesale robbery of boarders at 106 Twenty-filth street, Pittsburg. The principal loser is Mr. Moore, who mourns the departure of a gold watch and chain worth $125, a suit of clothes valued at $60, and 525 in cash. Five other boarders bewail the losses of portable property to the amount of about $450. As soon as the theits were made known, the PittsVtlrg Police Bureau wired to all headquarters about five days ago and was rewarded yesterday by the arrest away down South of the criminal, with clear evidence again him. 1TV0 GILSOXS ARRESTED. Poplar Alley Send Two Representatives to the Eleventh Ward Station House. Kate Gilson, who lives on Washington street, near Poplar alley, was arrested by Officer Cross, at her home yes terday afternoon, and lodged in the Eleventh ward station, charged with disorderly conduct.

They will be given & hearing this morning. TAB MNEMONIC SISTE1L Locking n Man Up Until He Remembers Where He Was Robbed. About 10 o'clock last night a man named John C Cooper,eonsiderably the worse for liquor, was so eager to get into the Central station that be fell in the doorway. When picked up Mr. Cooper managed to state that he had been out during the evening, and while iu one of the downtown honses had been robbed of 8135. Cooper was a trifle too drunk to remember the exact house, but stated that the son of a well-known Allegheny Alderman was with him at the time. Cooper was locked up until he could get sufficiently sober to tell a straight story. A WHITE H0KSE WANTED. One of the Abductors Captured and Meas ures Taken to Caleb the Other.
