Already the Allegheny Athletic Club and
its foot ball team have become known to al
most all the leading clubs and football
teams in the country. As a result applica
tions fot- dated with the local team are com
ing in daHy. -The last was from Detroit
yesterday. The kickers of that city are
very eager to play a match with the Pitts
burjs, and one will be played. It is not
definitely known yet, however, whether the
contest will take place here or at Detroit. The
team of the latter place want to play at home,
but Mr. O. D. ThomDson cave cood reasons yes
terday liy the contest should take place at
Exposition Park. He said:
"Detroit has a cood team, but they are due to
come here. We played our last match with
them at Detroit, and we will cive them a. cood
cuarantee to come here. Of course we will
have a much better organized team when we
next meet them than we had when we last
tackled them. We al;o want to boom the
spnrt here, and by pcttinc jrood teams to coino
here ne can do it. I think the match will take
place here."
Jlr. Thompson also states that strong efforts
will be made to have the University f Penn
silvama team here before Chritmas, ana he
is very hopeful of success. Should that team
comchere it will be a rate treat for the local
patrons of the rame.
The Wabinston-Jefferson College team also
applied to the local club yesterday for a date,
and it is likely that the two teams will pHy a
match within two or three weeks. The Detroit
contest will take place on November 8, and
the match with Washington -Jefferson will take
place earlier. To-monow the Athletic team
will tackle the Sbadytide eleven, weatherper
mitting. Tbete have been a few changes made
in the Athletic team since last Saturday, ami
it will be as follows to-morrow: Brown, left
end: Hammond, left tackle; J. Oliver, left
guard; J. Moorehead. center: Scott White,
right guard: Townly. right tackle; McUord.
right end: Robinson, quarter back; Fry, right
half back; IL Oliver, left half back, and O. D.
Thompson, fnll back. To-morrow week the
team will plav against the East End Gymna
sium eleven. "They had a contest arranged to
take place at Exposition Park, bnt the rain
presented it.
There is certainly nmre football players prac
ticing in ana about Pittsburg at present than
thero ever has been before. The officials of
the Athletic Club are confident that their or
ganization will have 200 paid up members be
fore the winter is over.

The season is over now for us. and let me
tell you that one evening after sunset Dallas
went a mile on Hoinewood track in 2:09. I

THE C0MPUUUISE BILL AT STAKE.
If the Measure is Lost Governor Camp

rsrr.ciAL telioeam to thi DtsrATCH.j
Columbus, October 16. There has been
a studied effort to-day on the part of the
factions in the Ohio Legislature and their
respective friends to create an impression
that the compromise measures to settle the
differences relative to the Board of Improve
ments at Cincinnati would go through and
an adjournment be reached by Saturday.
The Democratic caucus bill, acceded to
by the Governor, which gives the latter
power of removal ol members of the Board
of Improvements and fixes the election tor
next April, passed the Senate, as did
also the compromise resolutions, one
of which provides for the appoint
ment of a non-partisan commmittee
to investigate the various boards and depart
ment at Cincinnati and report at the next
session, and the other creating a similar
committee which shall consider a plan of
city government and make suggestions
to the adjourned session, that a plan of gov
ernment may be adopted for Cincinnati.
COMPROMISE bill passed.
Some oi the Democratic Senators voted
lor the investigating resolution with the
understanding it was not for the purpose of
prosecutions or to make a case against any
official now in power, but rather to learn
the workings of the present city govern
ment, with a view to making suggestions
that may be uselul in the future. The com
promise bill passed the Senate by a strict
party vote, but the resolutions were voted
for by some of the Republicans.
The caucus bill did not fare so well in the
House. The Republicans refused to vote for it
and the Democrats did not have enough votes
to suspend the rules and the bill went on the
calendar for second reading to-morrow. The
Senate investigating resolutions were also
postponed in the House.
The Republicans held a caucus to-night
and decided to oppose the passage ot the
compromise bill, also the suspension of
rules which will make it impossible to pass
the bill by the Democrats, as they require
58 votes." There were only 53 Demo
cratic members present to-day.
THREATS FBOM CAMPBELL.
The enemies of Governer Campbell in
his own partv are talking quietly that the
bill will not pass, as there are several
Democrats who will not vote for it and all
the Republicans have pronounced against
it. The House adopted a resolution to ad
journ Saturday, and it is the intention of
the Cincinnati people to adopt
the investigating resolution and
adjourn without considering the bill.
Campbell states unless the present bill is
passed, to which he has acceded, his friends
in both branches will join with the Repub
licans and pass the original bills which
were presented in accordance with his mes
sage. This bill abolishes the Board of Im
provements and the Decennial Board and
provides (or an election in November. The
Democrats are endeavoring to get five more
members here to-morrow that they may
pi ice the hill on passage.
The Republican Senatorial caucus com
mittee to-day addressed a letter to Governor
Campbell which said, among other things,
that he had called the special session and
recommended certain boards at Cincinnati
be abolished and home rule restored to the
people; that he sought an alliance with the
Republicansbecause of opposition in his own
party, that they agreed to support bis bill
and with the aid of three Democratic Sen
ators they had pushed the bill to p. second
reading in that body, but the Governor and
his friends changed their position and
agreed to a compromise which clothes the
Governor with additional power.
CAMPBELL CALLED UPON.
The committee sayi:
The price alleged to be paid by you for these
powers Is your agreement to stop legis
lation against the Board of Equalization and
the Cincinnati Controller. Jand abandon the
city of Cincinnati to the gang which your
appointees have placed in control. You
nronose to violate all your professions
of home rule and reform for the sake
of certain personal nr party advantages, ff
this be not true and you are still in favor of
borne rule legislation in the line of your mes
sage, we call upon you to prove your sincerity
by pushing the bills which you have approved
and which ynnr friends have introduced look
ing to reform and home rule.
The Republicans of the Senate stand ready
to assist you. Do not say that you cannot accom
plish it. Yon need but a few Democratic votes
to succeed, and surely you can control at least
these few votes of your own party.
We stand ready to suspend the rules and to
aid you in every possible way to carry ont your
professions. Show by your course that we have
not made a mistake in relying upon your hon
esty of purpose and sincerity in the cause of
home rule and reform.
THE GOVERNOB'S KEPLT.
In replying, the Governor says:
I admit cheerfully I called this special session
of the General Assembly for the purpose of
recommending that ctrtaln boards of the city
of Cincinnati be abolished. It is also
true that I have found opposition in my
own political party. It is not true that
I have xought an alliance (in the ordinary ac
ceptance of the word) with anybody. I mean
by that. I don't think you have accurately
stated the situation. While I am
pleased to know that the Republicans
in the Senate are in harmony 'with
mj views, there is no alliance on my part
neither with the Republicans in the Senate nor
with anybody else in either House upon any
proposition." I concur with you in the belief
that the message lull is a good one; that it will
aoolish the Board of Public Improvements in
the oity of Cincinnati and provide for an elec
tion by the people: and that Is in the line of my
message and professions.
OPPOSED TO THE B. P. I.
I was in favor of that bill; 1 had it prepared
and am in favor of it now. Were I a member
of either Honse I would certainly vote for and
support it; but I do not wish to say that It is the
only solution of the question consistent with
the theory of "home rule."
You charge that there is a change in the
attitude of rnjself and my friends; that there
arc delays and'evidence that 1 have abandoned
my position; that 1 have agreed to a compro
mise hv which I am to be clothed wlib certain
additional powers in removals and appoint
ments on the Hoard ot rumic .improvements.
To this I reply that there is no
change in my attitude. I am informed
that it is qnestionable whether the message
bill can pass both Houses, although my own
opinion is that it can if it be pushed, Ibave
said, however, that rather than keep the Gen
eral Assembly here in session I would
accede to a postponement of the elec
tion of that board until the regular
municipal election in April next, provided
a non-partisan board were substituted. Subse
quently I did concede, with some reluctance,
that the election should be postponed, provided.
I be clothed with the unconditional power of
removal. In other words, if I were to be re
sponsible for that board until next April, it
could not be with my consent unless I was
made absolute dictator regarding its member
ship. didn't want more power.
I deny that I have sought such additional
powers; or that 1 have agreed to pay any price
for them. I do not oppose legislation against
the Board of Equalization and the City Con
troller. If ft were in my power the bill to legislate out
the Board of Equalization would certainly pass.
So far as the bid to legislate out the Controller
is concerned,! am not a party to its defeat, uor
do I know if any such action is contemplated.
I admit that I am not especially interested in
the bill. The gentleman who holds the office
was elected by the people be
fore I became Governor of Ohio. I
am in no way responsible for his actions; the
people elected him themselves, and if ho be not
a good officer thoy are entitled to very little
vmpathy at the hands of the General Assem-
pose to violate, all professions of home rule and
reform for the sake of ''personal or party ad
advantage." HIS IDEA OF HOME RULE.
I look on the legislation designed to clothe
I me with additional power as being to my
personal disadvantage. I wish further to add
that the substitute for the Gaumer bill, now on
its passage through the Senate, is essentially a
borne rule measure. It varies from my sug
gestion on Iv in postponing the elections
five months. There are some very
ureent reasons for such a postponement.
There is only one thing better in
my jhdgment, and that is a non-partisan board
to biitlge over the hiatus from the time the ex
isting board Is legislated ont until the election
of April nex However, the present board
can be made efficient, and the confidence of the
people restored.
It Is earnestly to be hoped that before the
next municipal election the city of Cincinnati
will be granted a charter which will wipe out
all Its existiDg official bodies.
STUCK UKE GLUE.
LOUIS E. HAUGHEY COMING FROM CHI
CAGO UNDER ARREST
To Answer Charges of Embezzling Over
875,000 of the Defunct W. E. Bader
Glue Company's ITnnds Informations
3Iade by a Philadelphia Stockholder.
Louis E. Haughev, late manager of the
"W. B. Bader Glue Company, which caured
quite a sensation here and in the East by
his recent failure, will return to this city
to-day from Chicago in charge of Detective
Sol Conlson.- Haughey is charged with
embezzling over $75,000 of the firm's funds.
The Bader Glue Company slock was
largely held in Philadelphiaand New York.
Haughey was the resident manager, kept
the books and bad chaige of the works at
Springdale, on the West Pcnn Railroad. Three
months ago, when the firm failed, there were
charges of fraud talked about and several civil
suits were entered, but nothing of a criminal
nature was alleged at the time.
After the failure Haughey went to Chicago
and became engaged with a glue firm there.
Two weeks ago Howard R. Kern, of Phila
delphia, a stockholder in the Bader company,
came to the city and started an investigation.
He became convinced that Haughey had
wronged the company, and after consnlting
Messrs. Knox A Reed and Clarence Burleieh,
Esq., he entered two charges against Haughey
before Alderman McMasters. One of these
was fraudulently applying partnership assets
to his own use. and the other was falsifying
the books of a partnership. The allegations on
whicb these charges are based are that
Haughey had full control of the works and of
the company's books; that he discounted the
firm's notes to the amount of 875,000. applying
the proceeds to his own use, and falsifying the
the books to cover the transactions. He was
arrested last week by the Chicago authorities
on a telesram, and on Tuesday, as soon as the
requisition papers could be secured. Officer
Unulson started after him. He left Chicago
yesterday, and will reach Pittsburg this morn
ing. Haughey always stood well here. He is a
fine looking man. of excellent manners and
address, and while here made his headquarters
at the Duquesne.
A special telegram from Chicago says: I L.
Hangbey. a trusted employe of Armour fc Co.,
was arrested to-day by a deputy sheriff on a
Governor's warrant, and taken to Pittsburg on
a requisition signed by the Governor of Penn
svlvanla. Detective Coulson, of Putsburir.w ho
brought the requisition for Haughey's
arrest would say little about the case and the
local officer knew nothing except that a
requisition has been issued. Coulson said the
case was an old one. bnt of the true cause of
the arrest he said nothing. Haughey has been
with Armor 4 Co. for some time, and is said by
the local officers to have enjoyed the lullest
confidence of the firm. When arrested
Haughey began habeas corpus proceedings,
but on the advice of bis employer tbey were
withdrawn. He went to Pittsburg on the un

INVENT0E OF THE PIAH0.
Although There Are Blany Claimants, an
Italian Seems to De tne xugnc one.
Although it is less than 200 years since
the pianoforte was invented, the name of the
actual inventor is lost in a crowd of claim
ants. Iu England the invention is claimed
for Father Wood.an English monk at Rome,
who manufactured a pianoforte in 1711.
This, being the first one seen in England,
produced an immense sensation among mu
sicians, for skilled performers were enabled
to play it with much greater expression than
the harpsichord or spinet.
Although Father Wood's claim is stoutly
maintained, the best authenticated is that of
the Italians.for in 1711 Bartoloniuieo Cristo
iali, of Padua, had already made three
pianos, which ScitjioneMaffei, in the "Gior
nale de' Litterati" d'ltalia" (Venice 1711),
describes as instruments iu wnich the body
of souud is regulated by the force used in
pressing upon the keys, thus producing not
only the piauo and forte, but also the de
grees of, tone, as in the violoncello.
So it seems evident that Cristofali was
reallv the inventor ol the pianoforte in 1710.
He must have been a genius, lor in every
part of the piano he introduced some im
provement, in the case and sounding-board,
as well as in the mechanism. Cristofali's
claim, however, is still disputed. The lacts
seem to show, however, that the honor lies
between these two men.
SISAL HEMP INDUSTRY.
A Noxious Weed That Promises to Blake
the Bahama Islanders Rich.
The culture of sisal hemp, says Sir Am
brose Shea, Governor ot the Bahama
Islands, in. the New York Times, promises
to prove the salvation of the Bahamas. In
the last 12 months great progress has been
made in the development of this industry.
The plant from which the hemp is made was
considered a noxious weed only two year3
ago. Now each plunt is worth S20. In the
neighborhood of 6,000 acres have been
planted in sisal. The acreage will be
largely increased this year. Naturally the
demand for the plant is very great.
Foreign capital is becoming interested in
the industry, and before long I expect to bee
a large quantity of the hemp, which is of
excellent quality, exported to this country.
A few bales which were sent to London last
June created agood deal of excitement in
the market, and brought $180 a ton. It is
asserted that when shipped in quantity sisal
hemp will compete on the Continent with
fiber that now sells for $500 a ton.
OKLAHOMA'S CAPITAL FIGHT.
A New Candidate in the Lists Supported
by Oklahoma City.
GUTHBIE, October 1G. Altera four days'
truce, the capital location discussion was re
sumed to-day in the Territorial Legislature.
A bill was introduced in both Houses to
locate the seat of government at Kingfisher.
It was supported by the Kingfisher dele
gates, who had warm allies in the repre
sentatives from Oklahoma City, whose bill
the Governor recently vetoed.
The Kingfisher bill was rushed through to
its third reading before the Guthrie repre
sentatives grasped the situation. Then a
scene of tumult and uproar ensued, which
finally subsided. The Guthrie delegates re
sorted to filibustering, and at 8 o'clock this
evening still had the floor. It is generally
believed that a conflict between theopposing
factions will occur helore adjournment. The
session will probably last ail night.
OMISSION IN THE TASD7F LAW.
The Government Must Now Pay Duty on Its
Own Importations.
Washington, October 16. Secretary
Windom has sent a letter to each of the
other members of the President's Cabinet,
inviting their attention to the fact
that the revision of law exempting
"articles imported for the use ot the
United States, provided that the price of
the same did not include the duty," con
tained in paragraph 645, act of March, 1883,
is no longer in force, and that there is no
similar provision in the act ot October 1,
189a
Articles imported on and after the6ihimt.
for the use of each department are therefore
now snbjeet to payment of duty unless they
are specially provided for in the tree list oi
the act of October 1, 1890. or are imported
under specific contracts in force on the 6th
inst.
An 18-year-old yboy has been captured
at Cloverdale, Cal.. and admits that he held up

MILLIONS INVOLVED.
A Great Michigan Lumber and Salt
Firm ,Goes to the Wall.
OTHER ENTERPRISES IN DANGER,
Including Lumber Companies and a Na
tional Bank at Manistee.
DETU01T BANKS ARE NOT C0XCERXED
Manistee, Mich., October 16. R. G.
Peters hasassigned to A.M.Heury.of Detroit.
It is the largest financial crash in the State
for years. The assignment covers millions
or dollars' worth ot property, and will be
far-reaching in its effects. Meigs & Co.,
lumbermen; Dunham & Co., of Grand
Rapids, and the Fi th National Bank are
interested in the collapse.
No schedule of assets or liabilities has
been as yet filed here. From outside but
reliable sources it is learned that the liabili
ties will be fully $3,000,000. The plant here
had made enormons profits, but the outside
ventures as a rule have been disastrous,, and
especially in the Southern ventures, which
absorbed an enormous amount of capital
without much returns.
R. G. Peters owns 78,000 ot the 80,000
shares of the R. G. Peters Salt and Lumber
Company, which is capitalized at $2,000,
000, and whose last annual report showed
real and personal property of over $2,500,
000 and credits of $142,524, while the debts
reached $510,573. Besides being President
or the Peters Salt and Lumber Company, of
Manistee, Mr. Peters is a member of the
firm of Dunham, Peters & Co., of Chase
and Grand Rapids. He owns a two-fifths
interest in the Stronach Lumber Company,
o Manistee, a half interest in the firm of
Bntiers, Peters & Co., of Ludington, a
leading interest in the lumber firm of
Peters & Morrison, which controls 13,000
acres of land at Menominee and 150.000
acres of land in various States. He is also
President of the Manistee National Bank
and a director of the Fifth National Bnk
of Grand Rapids. He also owns personally
100,000 acres of timber land in Alabama
and the Carolinas.
A Detroit dispatch says: "From various
sources here it is learned that the liabilities
in the Peters (allure amount to $2,000,000
and over. It is thought the assets in Man
istee, Grand Rapids and the lands of the
Northern peninsular and the southern lum
ber on hand, if judiciously handled, will
cover liabilities, but in sucb cases the ten
dency is to sacrifice and thus curtail the
assets. It is not thought that the Detroit
banks have been touched at all, since the
friends of Griswold street upon the West
coast have given the street a tip from time
to time which caused them to decline
Peters' paper. This has been the case 'or
the past two years, in which time Peters
has been branching out very heavily in
multifarious businesses.
RESULT OF THE FAILURE.
Another Michigan Firm Forced to the Wall
In the Crash.
Grand Rapids, Mich., October 16.
Arthur Meigs & Co., in which R. G. Peters
holds a half interest, went under to-night as
a result of the Peters failure. Mortgages
were filed to-night aggregating $276,000,
covering everything the firm owns iu this
citv, Crofton.Hartford, Bangor and Breeds
Vllle. Four of the mortgages are in small
amounts, aggregating $91,000, and Julius
Houseman, trustee, holds the fi th for $117,
500 in behalf of the National City Bank.
A DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO
Blows Down Houses, Destroys Property
and Kills and Injures Many.
Maxton, N. C, October 16. A cyclone
passed just west of Maxton about 4 o'clock
this afternoon. Its direction was nearly
north. At Hasty several houses were blown
down and one person killed and several in
jured. Its track was not wide.
At Floral College the storm was very
severe, blowing down the bel'ry of the
Presbyterian Church, demolishing one houe
and many trees and severelv. if not fatally,
injuring two persons. McKinno's sawmill
was ruined and one of the laborers badly
injured.
