The Final Deposit Made for the Interesting Sprint Race Between J. Priddy and Hammond. THE LODISVILLES ARE SHDT OUT. EereKJeftleBnnaing Rues Busbatl Newj isi (Ha era! Eportmg Events of the Day. There is now something lite a certainty about a race taking place between Peter Priddy and E. C. McClelland. The former has made np his mind to rnn McClelland a live-mile race on this day four weeks for ?250, or anT amount, a side and all the gate receipts. Priddy deslies that McClelland will be at this office this evening at 8 o'clock with money to put up to guarantee a race. On the other hand the McClelland party want to see Priddy here with their money and as a result one of the most sensational races of recent years is likely to take place. Each man is stated to be a record breaker at the distance named and the amount of envy existing between the pair is more prompting toward a good race than all the money -that conld be staked. Both parties are sure to no on hand tins evening to Men articles and it is a tact that the both have been exercising energetically on the quiet for some time. Doubi'.esMf they run on a good track and on a fine dav there u ill be a Iarce crowd to see thein, as one nf them Is certainly the best fire mile rnnner in the world. Who the one is re mains to be seen Both bare extremely good judges benind them and lots ot money. There will be a verv interesting race of 120 yards between Joseph Priddy and Tom Ham mond. They and their' backers ftet at this office last evening and put up the final deposit for their race. The contest is interesting be cause each man is stated to be a "flyer" under cover, and the stakes, $300, do not represent at all the money invested on the result. Each man is looking extremely well, and the en terprising Secretary of the park, John Tener, has it in good condition, so that an excellent track can be selected if the m eather remains fine. The fact is that Expo sition Park promises to become a famous place in all kinds of sports. It Is well managed. The referee and pistol-firer for the race are to be chosen on Monday, and if the parties cannot agree we have to select tbe&e officials. In the meantime, and to prevent any delay, onr sug gestion is: O. D. Thompson for referee and George fermtb for pistol-flrer. The race is an honest one, and nobody will question the in tegrity ot the two men named if they will act. It is to be hoped that the will, because the race is of the kind that will tend to popularize honest sport of a professional kind. LEXINGTON EACES.

Dikector O'Neill states that Mr. Converse bas written him to the eflect that the National League in Pittsburg must have a first-class team. Gut and Clingstone are in training at Inde pendence, la., and will be sent to lower their records over the kite-shaped track there before snow flies. Jim Corbett, the California pugilist, has adopted a new device for hardening his hands. He has tnade a couple of iron balls about the bize of billiard balls and Is learning to juggle them. The Boston Triumvirs have lines out for three big stars. They are weak at second base, and they want & new outfielder and a third base man that can bat, Bassett may be the second baieman. K. P. Huntington, tennis player, may never appear In the court again. The injuries he re ceived In the cross country hunt week before last are moresevcre than at first supposed.

This news win be received by the Columbus people wltb surprise, as they were certain that he would remain there another year. Tbe contract was signed late Wednesday night, A Boston Brotherhood man comes out with a statement that Buck Ewine bas not been sincere lu his efforts to foster the Interests or the Plavers' League, and claims that Back has been working heart and soul to get John B. Day Into a new club In New York Whatever Mr. Ewing has been doing of late he has had the best Interests of the national game at heart all the time. John Li. Sullivan was Interviewed at Chicago 011 Wednesday, and he pronounced the story sent out from N ew York to the effect that he would challenge the winner of the blavln-Jackson fight a lake pure and simple. He said: "I'll fight nobody. I'm not In the business. That goes, bee? 1 am a fighter no more. I bare higher aspirations. No one in New York or anvwliere else bas a right to talk fight for me. 1 won't fight anybody ror fun or money. I'm an actor irom this out." The Duke of Portland thinks that he owes something to his great lucc on the turr, and is buildinc some almshouses at his chief estate, Welbeck, to commemorate the victories of his racers.

Legcr). Memoir (Oaks and St. Leger), bemollnaand others." Nearly all cood football players have acquired their knowledge of the game at college, but oue notable exception to the rule was Juan A. Smith, w ho played with the Crescents two years ago. He was a tower of strength to the Crescents, and a good all-around athlete. How he happened to take up the game was thus: Going to Brooklyn as a stranger, w hen not more than a boy, he visited Prospect Park one day. and. passing the parade ground, saw the first ftiotball matcn of his life, between the Pelytechnlcs and Prospects. After watchlnff them awhile he asked if they would al low him to plav, and the Prospects being short a man, they gladly welcomed him. Taking off his coat and vest he started In. and in les6 than two minutes had the ball in his possession, and was making- for the opposite goal with his head down, buddenly his career was cut snort, his head com ing in contact with the pit of an opponent's stom ach. Both went down in a heap, the latter swear ing vengeance as 60on as he found breath enough, bmlth made it all rlirht, however, by saying that he thought that was the game. During the rest of the match he played with such pluck and vigor thtt he was asked to join the team, which he did. He afterward joined the crescents, where he usuallr plavcd hairback and became one of the strongest pl'a J ers ever seen In this vicinity. He Is now engaged m manipulating corner lots in Mis soula, Dak. THE DISPATCH to-morrow morning wiU be an immense newspaper for the masses. It vriU hold twenty 8-coIumn pages.

TZLEOB-UI TO TUX DtSP ATCH.t Washington-. Pa., October 17. The preliminary hearing of George E. Teaters, the1 young "Wheeling man who is charged with th'e murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Sanders at the plank road toolbouse last Friday night, took p(lace in the grand jury room, before 'Squire D. M. Donehoo, this after noon. The time set was 2 o'clock, and an immense crowd had gathered about the place. Colonel "W. "W. Arnett, of Wheel ing, and John M.' Braden, Esq., of this place, defended the prisoner. The evidence introduced by District At torney W. S. Barker, for tbe Common wealth, consisted in evidence chiefly con cerning tbe whereabouts of Teaters and the Durr boys on the evening of the tragedy. Wit nesses were introduced at tho opening of the hearing who testified that tbey had seen the defendants and two other fellows atlagonda aboutS o'clock in the afternoon, and had seen them going down the road toward the toll rate. Thev were seen after thev passed the toll cate, and after tbey had got into the ouggy ot Moses isoiaen ana .amoroso Wilsson, near the 'house of W. B. McKennan, about a quarter! a mile north of the toll-house. Tracks were found and fol lowed from a tenant house near JIcKennan's to a point near tbe home of tbe late Mrs. Sanders. These tracks, it is thought by witne-s John Mc Kennan, were made by a pair of sboes that were identified as those worn bv Teaters on tbe afternoon of the tragedy. Colonel Arnett shook the testimony of this witness very suc cessfully, making it appear that tbe witness was not thoroughly acquainted with the situa tion. Dr. W. R. Thompson was sworn add testified as to the condition of the woman when be had been summoned, and the character of the wound. Witnesses were also examined wbo had tracked Bush Durr and Georce E. Teaters from Allison's to Taylorstnwn. accompanied by tbe little yellow dog, which afterward hung itself in Chief of Police Greer's yard. An effort was made by the Commonwealth to rest tbe case here, but the defense agreed tbat there was not sufficient evidence to hold the prisoners, and the ante-mortem statement of Mrs. Sanders was offered. In this Mrs. Sanders testified that she thought Teaters was the man who shot ber. The case here rested, and Justice Donehoo held the prisoner for trial at the No vember term of oyer and terminer.

THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, A TRUE ROMANCE. A WANDERING BOY FINDS THAT HIS MOTHER LIVES. He Tells a Remarkable Story of His Iifo and Parentage His Father and Mother Quarreled and the Boy Taught That She Was Dead. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Eeie, October 17. A few years ago a lad came to this place in an unexpected sort of a way. and joined tbe ranks of the newsboys under the euphonious term of "Swipes." Tbe boy was a perfect mimic, could sing and dance and was something of a lightweight, and as a result he soon set up as a dictator in his realm. About one year ago he left the city and joined his fortunes with those of "Whistling Jack" and went West, but on his wav back here fell ill 'of a fever in Chicago. One night, while half dreaming and half delirious, be thought he saw bis mother leaning over him. From that moment the fever left him, and be tells tbe following story among his old companions here to-day: 'I was always afraid of the press andjthe po lice till now, but my fear has turned to rever ence, for tbey have done me a service for which I can never be too thankful. 1 am nearly 19. and 16 vears aco 1 lived with mv parents in Cincinnati. My father was "Master Barney," an actor, and my mother was an -actress. They did not get along very well, and they bad a quarrel. "My father picked me up out of the cradle and took me to Brooklyn, where he soon mar ried a woman named Sbalar. Tbey gave me tbe name of Albert Shalar.-and I have always borne that name. Wben I grew older my father told me my mother was dead, and nf course I believed him. My stepmother soon tired of me and cast me out, and it has been a hustle with me and fate ever since. It was about two and one-balf years ago tbat my father made a confession, wbich I doubted at the time, but which I now know was true. He lay in a delirium in the hospital, and taking my hand said in a trembling voice: 'Albert, I have deceived you ail . these years. Your mother still lives. She is au actress, and when 1 am dead I want you to find her and tell her how Borry I am tbat we quarreled.' "He died soon after. I did not think he knew what he was saying, but wben I lay in tbe cot at the Chicago hospital, and my mother's face came to me. I knew tbat she must be alive. After earning a littls money there I went to Cincinnati at the suggestion of the New York Clipper, and the dramatic editor of tbe Commercial published a card for me. Po lice Superintendent Dietscb. acting on informa tion wbich be received in Cincinnati, wrote to Boston. Chief Cyrus Small responded and said in his letter: " 'In the case of the boy Shalar, regarding whom you have communicated with me, I beg leave to inform you tbat tbe boy's mother still lives at No. 115 West Kifth street She is a re tired actress, and is known as Fannie Maguire. She is the wife nf Thomas Lewis, of Wilson's Minstrels, and she is overjoved at the prospect of finding her long-lost boy.' " The many friends and patrons chipped, and "Swipes" is on bis way to join his mother. He will arrive in Boston to-night. - A BALLBOAD WBECK.

BIG BOOM IN CHICAGO POKE PACKING rsrXCTAL TELXGBAX TO THE DISrATCH.1 New York, October 17. A still more pronounced gain in the volume of trade distribution is indicated by special tele grams to Bradstreet't this week. Beports of an enlarged trade in dry goods and cloth ing, boots and sboes and groceries, and manufactures of iron and steel come from leading points West, South and Southwest, but notably from Chicago, Cincinnati, Omaha, St Louis, Dallas and New Orleans, while at St. Joseph, Houston, Philadelphia and Boston the movement is of large and satisfactory proportions. At San Francisco trade is good, but is in terfered with by the hot political campaign. The movement of sugar and cotton at New Orleans is large. Leather is steady in most markets, with a further accumulation of rough grades. Beceipts of cattle and hogs at Omaha and Kansas City are smaller and prices are np 10 cents. Iron and steel are steady and unchanged in the East, while active and tending unward in the West, ex cept for Lake Superior pig iron. activity along the line. Collections rule fair to good. The paper trade is active and production is increasing. At New York general trade is active in nearly all lines, particularly in woe), glass ware, foreign drygoods, furniture, carpets, groceries, jewelry, paper, iruits and con fectionery. Prices are generally firm with an upward tendency. Glove importers have agreed to advance quotations on many grades. Building materials are recovering from the late brick boycott. Spruce and pine lumber is $1 off on removal of the Canadian export tax. Dealers in Maine ice have lost money this year. Liquidation of foreign holdings of American stocks caused further decline in share valnes. Net railway earnings for August make a poor showing, reflecting unfavorable influ ences ot low rates. The total net earnings ol 103 roads lor August aggregate $19,792, 203, aiecrease Irom August last year oi 6.1 per cent. In August of last year the gain in net was 22 per cent on all roads. Net earnings oi 100 roads for eight months aggre gate $120,161,974, a gain ol 7,4 per cent over last ye.ir, which in turn gained 9.3 per cent over 1888. BANK CLEARINGS. Bank clearings at 53 cities for the week ended October 16, are $1,346,366,924, an in creaseover this week last jearo. 15.4 per cent. New York City's clearings, which consti tute bl.2 per cent of the grand total, are more than those :or the like period last year by 4.5 per cent, while at tbe other 52 cities the gain is 12.5 per cent. Drygoods are, fairly active at all Eastern raarKets, and in improved demand at the West, Cotton mills are busy, and goods are generally in gooa position. Print cloths are the only goods in unsatisiactory shape. Prices are unchanged. Men's-wear woolens manufacturers are well supplied with light weights. The Boston jobbing demand is more ac ti ve. New York's trade .or the season shows a gain over last year. Collections have im proved also. Tne Southern demand has been larger than ever before Every depart ment of loreign goods is active. Wholesale clothiers have had a,good year. The cloak trade has opened well. Wool is less active at the East, but still moves freely in all injrketi. It is a sellers' market, and prices are strong. Weak Liverpool and con tinental advices, with tree receipts, have depressed cotton values z this week, off setting rumors of frost damage to the grow ing plant. Speculation was active at the decline. THE GRAIN TEASE. Good crop reports, increased receipts and long selling depressed wheat and corn early in the week, but the loss was regained later on light receipts wet weather, better cables and short covering. Wheat closed ljc higher on the week. Oats are 3c up on tbe week. Speculation at New York was very light. The increase ol available wheat last week was 2,395,168 bushels. Hog products were dull and weak early, in sympathy with grain, but strengthened later on on smaller receipts at the West. Baw sugar is 1-16 higher on large meltings, light receipts and rapidly decreasing stocks. Kenned is unchanged. The autumn shut down of refineries has bezun. Tbe Louisiana crop is moving more lreely. Quality and price are low. Coff e is unchanged on actual consumptive demand. Petroleum is in good demand for export, and is 15 points higher on the week. Speculation is more active at an advance oi lc. Business failures reported to Bradslreet's number 177 in the United States tnU week, against 183 last week and 205 this week lat year. Canada had 29 this neek, against 30 last week. The total number of failures in the United States Irom January 1 to date, is 7,985, against 8,942 iu a like portion of 1889. E. G. DUN'S EEVIE'W. B. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: All directions o! business out look improves; the volume of trade so in creases tbat notwithstanding the recent enormous increase of circulation, the money markets arc growing stringent. Exports hav become remarkably large, and the domestic trade is such that exchanges out side New York exceed last year's by 15 per cent But while New York and Boston money markets are fairly supplied and steady at 5 to 6 per cent, the market is tight at Chicago and stringent at Philadelphia, only part of the commercial paper offered being taken at 6 to 7 per cent, St. Louis notes an active market at 7 to 8 per cent, Milwaukee a close market at 7, and Savan nah a tight market. But at Cleveland and Detroit the markets are rather easier; at Kansas City firm. At Denver a good de mand is well supplied. At Omaha the market is easy, and at Pittsburg there is a good demand without stringency. TEADE IS STRONG EVERYWHERE. At Boston wool is rising and goods in bet ter demand, while cottons are selling well and firm. At Philadelphia wool is more active and slightly higher. The ontput of cottons is increasing. There is an increase in demand in paper, in tendency toward advance in some grades. The liquor trade is stimulated by new duties. Chicago reports smaller receipts of grain, cured meats and dressed bee', cheese and butter than a year ago, but a slight in crease in lard and double the receipts of wool, and larger transactions in drygoods and merchandise generally,with satistactory movements. St Louis merchants are ad justing themselves to the new tariff con ditions, and trade is strong. At Cleveland and Milwaukee ,bad weather has retarded trade, which is nevertheless of fair volume. At St. Paul, Omaha, Denver and Kansas City trade is good. At Minneapolis the flour output declihes. Wheat receipts were 1,800,000 bushels. At Pittsburg the iron 'aud glassvtradeis good, with prospects of an advance in window glasi, and at Savan nah trade is brisk. The weekly output of PIG IRON TN SEPTEMBER was 13.06 per cent larger than a year ago.' There are more sales ol pig at Cleveland, and all manufactured Iron i in large de mand. At Pittsbmg, pig is a little weak. Bessemer notably, but tbe demand for all manufactured iron and steel is growing stronger. At Philadelphia the steadiness in pig is encouraging, though Bessemer is weak, but all finished products are in strong demand. The noteworthy fact at New York is the sale of Tennessee iron, 18; 1890. Lucy or Ensley brand, and strict No. I foundry, at $16 25 per ton. The coal trade is more confident, and September prices now rale. Tin is ljo lower, but lead is strong at 5.9c, and copper steady at 16c to 17c Of the TEXTILE INDUSTRIES, the increasing demand for cotton and wool bears witness of prosperity, though the pro duction of print cloths at present prices is held unprofitable. Another .great industry has been making notable progress. The nnmber of hogs packed at the West from March to October 1 was 7,965,000, against 5,920,000 last year, an increase of nearly 35 per cent. Specula tion in wheat has made further progress this week, the price rising lc on small sales, but the exports are practically stopped; in September onlv 595,259 bushels, against 2,223,104 last year went from At lantic ports, and thus far'in October only a small part of last year's exports, for four days of this week, 163,000 bushels, against 432,000 last year. Corn also goes alroad but little, having advanced during the week only a, while oats have risen 1. But the i EXPORT MOVEMENTS OP COTTON is extraordinarily large, in September 207, 000,000 lbs, against 176,000,000 lbs last year, and in October thus lar there is a large in crease, helped by the yielding in price l-16c this week. The exports of provisions are also very heav.y in September, $11,918,146 in value, against $8,707,645 last year, and this also continues, prices being steady. In petroleum exports there w,is an increase in quantitv lust month of 75,000,000 gallons, against 59,' 000,000 last year. Thus, in spite ol the sup pression of exports of breadstuff's by high prices, the increase in valne of the principal products was almost 1 per cent in Septem ber, and aggregate of exports for that month will not vary much from the remarkably large value of the imports. The new tariff has caused an advance in prices of some kinds ot goods, which, to gether with the rise resulting from partial failure of crops, has moved up the general level of prices materially, though less than 1 per cent on all commodities since October 2. Bnt tbe higher range of prices accounts in part for the qnick absorption of a circulation far greater than that of last year.
