The directors of the Allegheny Athletic Association now look upon the success or their venture as an assured fact, and they have commenced to formulate plans for next season that, if successfully carried out, will cause Pittsburg to be .1 great athletic center. The directors are extremely enthusiastic on the matter, and during a conversation yesterday Mr. John Moo-head said: "We have i.nde up our minds to havo three amateur athletic meetings in Pittsburg next car, and each one mil be ot the iirbt-class order. Heretofore the great difiicultv has been the want of a good track. Next year, however, this will be overcome, as there will bo an ex. cellent cinder path built in Exposition Park. When this track is completed we will have little trouble in securing the best amateur talent in the country to comnete here. 1 am personally acquainted with many of the lead ing Eastern athletes, and they have all told me that thev will come here as soon as we can get a rood trac. Our firt meeting will be in the spring, tb second in the summer and the third in the fall. At the la-t named meeting we hope to s-ccur.- the entries of all leading Enehsh amateurs wiio ma be in this country. There are sere to be some English chamnious here at that time and tbe will come here. At the hummer meeting we are sure to have sucb runners as Carev and Owen, because we will have ery valuable prizes, and we hope to have the track as fast as any in the countrj. "We do notdesire to make profit bj anv event that we may promote; all that we want is to clear expenses. The better our efforts are pa. tromzed the better talent we will get and the more contests we will hold. I know there are scores of 3 nung athletes In and jb"Ut Pittsburg wbn will join the association, and before next spring comes we will have a very strong force." It is understood that the association will apply for membership in some national amateur organization, and when such membership is obtained it is likelv that efforts will be made to have na tional contests here. The success of the club so far is a healtny sign as far as local sporting affairs arc concerned, because if the success continues it will insure first-class contests of the most honorable kind. Letters from various amateur organizations throughout the country bave been recei ed by the directors of the local organization, and thee letters all urge the di rectors to stick to their work and have a thoroughly representative amateur ath letic club in Pittsburg next season. These letters have chiefly prompted the direct ors to make up their minds regarding the three meetings next year. The organization, it may be stated, was not established for football alone. It intends to cover cricket, tennis and all branches ot athletic sports. Already numerous of the most prominent young busi ness men in Allesruenv county are among its members. Several new members n ere enrolled on Saturday and more are expected to-day If Mr. Carey and Mr. Owen ao not run their match this year many of the members of the local club are anxious to trv and get them to run it here next spring or summer. Such an eent would, doubtless, attract a tremendous crowd to Imposition Park. H'AULIFFE EXPLAINS. The Lightweight Pugilist Answers a Tetv Verj Pertinent Ouestions. New Yokk October 26. The recent an nouncement made by Jack McAuIiffe that be would sail for England in two week has cre ated quite a stir in sporting circles, when it is known that he bad signified his willingness to meet "Billj"Mejersina fight to a finish in the rorms of the Metropolitan Athletic Club, of New Orleans. McAuliffe. when asked the other day if the reports that he was going to England were true, replied that tber were. He was reminded that be had given the Metropol itan Athletic Club bis word of honor that he would fight Meyers in their rooms for the J5.0C0 purse offered by them. "I know I did." replied Jack, "nut my health will not permit me to go into training."' "Didn't jou siv that as soon as j on reached the other side ou would challenge Jim Carney to tight j on?' "Yes, f did: but I would not fight him until after Christmas, and m health by tha. tune would be much improved. I fonghtJIcv crs to a draw once, and since then he has been defeated, and bis conqueror has been defettcd by the man I licked. -o that that js pretty good evidence that he would not be in it with me." "'You only fought him a draw. Jack." said the rciiorter, iil many vitiioses to that fight declares that Meters had all the best of it. Beside you are lnuking for money, and the Met ropolitan Athletic Club is putting up a 5,000 purse, and if vou are lulu lonvinceu that ou can lick him ou can bet S3.O0O on the outside." "'That's all right," replied Jack. "I can make more uionev by defeating Carney, and I am cer tain that lean lick him." "Do vn reii ember. Jack, that you once said that nothing could induce ou to go to England t hgnr Lainej. because you could not get fair plat " "I did sav so, 5 es; but the recent fights show that a different cla-s of people witness them now and all of them are gentlemen who will permit no underhand work " The articles of agreement for the fight be tween Mc nliffe a-id Meters are on their way to Peter Donohuc, the Eistern agent of the Metropolitan Athletic Club, and havo already been signed b Mejers. lfMcAulirfe does not sign them it ma) cause him a little trouble. HAiaON A HEEO. Al Jnhn'.on Points Out How the Pittsburg1 Manager lias Acted Faithfully. New Yokk. October 26. The rival baseball magnates bad an informal meeting yesterday, during which Albert L.

He said: "I will state a few facts that may be of interest to alk Ned Ilanlon was the first one who ever broached the subjectof a Players' League to me.

I was furthermore told that we woulilget hall the gate receipts at home aud abroad and that the players would sign contracts to take their salaries outol the gate recemts. Ithought the thing over. I had seen the cars on the oppo sition street road loaded down with people go ing to the games, and it occurred to me that here was a chance to make a good investment, as I could get grounds on the street car line ow ned by my Brother and myself. Visions of millions of dollars of profits loomed up in front of my eyes. And what one of you here is there but would have thought the same? I went to rav brother. He advised me to keep out. But I knew better, as I imagined 1 had a cinch. Along in September my brother uiged me to get nut, but tben I was so far in I could not back down vnh honor to myself.

CONTENTION rSTFCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DtSrATCBV. DuBois, OctoDer 26. This morning, nt Grove Summit, a strange and terrible acci dent happened to the train leaving here at 2 o'clock in the morning. Engineer James Casey and Fireman Laird, of that tram, were killed, and Conductor Crawford and Brakeman Fitzpatrick were badly injured. The train was, as usual, very heavy, and a pusher was required to take it over the sum mit. On the ascending grade the train broke in two. Unfortunately this was not discovered until the first half of the train 'was on the way down the other side of the summit and goine down the hill to Beech tree. When the bottom of the hill was reached that portion of the train was sidetracked, and Engi neer Casey started his engine back up the hill for the remainder of his train. Here was the tatal mistake, though the engineer could not know that the rear engineer had not even yet learned that he was pushing a loose train ahead of him. The rear engine, it seemed,had Pushed the latter part of the train steadily up the hill, and then shoved it over and on the down grade, where he abandoned it to run by gravity, think ing the head engineer was still connected. The abandoned train rushed forward with fearful speed, gaining in velocity at every mo ment. At one nlace adeeo curve hidesany two approaching trains, and here the awenuing engine and the headlong descending train met with a terrible crash. The engine was backing, of course, when the two struck, the tender was torn from the trucks and thrust through into the engine cab. Engineer Casey was pinned fast between the tender and his seat, and. dying as he was. tried again and again to reach the lever and throw it forward in order to pre vent further loss of life and property, as he had, with the instincts of :an old railroad roan, reversed his lever at the moment of colli sion. A brakeman, however, clambered over the wreck and stopped the train before any further loss was sustained. Fireman Laird must have been instantly killed, while the brakeman and conductor were hurt, but not fatallv. The two injured men were on the detached portion of the train, and had attempted, by running from one car to the other, to stop its headlong speed, but were un able to do so before they were met by the en gine. Engineer Casey died. CAKVED HIS OWN TOMBSTONE. Strange Freak of a Man Who Lived Longer Than He Expected. nSrlfCTAL TELEGHAM TO THE OISPATClt.! Mabtin-sbukG. W. Va., October 26. A queer story comes from Harper's Ferry. Larry Fmlan, a native of Ireland, and for more than 40 years a resident of that place, died there last week, aged 77 years. He was at one time an employe of the United States armory, aud dur ing his idle moments conceived the idea of carving his own tombstone. He procured a piece ot slatestone. three by six feet, and cut the apex in the form of a cross, chiseled bis name and date of birth, and thinking he would die between the ears of '80 and '90, he cut the three figures "1S8" on the face of the stone. Not dying within that time, the old man seemed somewhat disappointed, but set cheerfully to work and cancelled the last 8 and substituted a 9 aud sent the stone to his lot in the Catholic cemetery. He now lies nnder the stone, with the missing figure sub stituted by a strange hand. A SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION. The Pennsjlvania T. M. C. A. Closes Its Meeting at Bloomsburg. TrvnAi.

Grave interna tional complications may arise from the re cent condemnation at Sherbrooke to one year's imprisonment for contempt of court of Led a Laniontagne, who was extradited some time ago from the United States upon a charge of arson. Leda's brother was be ing tried for murder, and the Canadian au thorities sought to use her as a witness against him, but she absolutely refused, contending that she had not been surren dered by the American authorities as a wit ness, but on the charge of arson, for which she was ready to stand her trial. Leda's counsel contends that her con demnation for contempt was a breach of faith with the American authorities, who consented to. her extradition for an entirely different purpose, and if he fails to have her sentence annulled he will take the case to Washington and the Secretary of State will be asked to remonstrate with the Canadian authorities, and to demand an explanation of the apparent breach of international faith involved in the sentence.

The programme has been arranged and it includes the best local talent available, with Miss Jennie Evans as the principal vocalist. The hospital is badly in need of funds, and the receipts from the entertainment will come in good time to tide the Institution over the severe winter months. TRYING AGAIN FOB FUSE WATER, Southslders Will Muke Another Effort to Have Wells Drilled. Another effort is to be made to have a well drilled on the Sonthside, in the hope to secure pure water. The citizens, headed by Mr. Jacob Schneider, raised funds some time ago to put down a wett, and had gone so far as to decide upon a location and let the contract for the well. When the city authorities heard the well was to be drilled on public school property the proceedings were stopped, on the grounds, it is claimed that wells would not provide the desired re lief. Some years ago a lot of wells on the Southside weffi ordered filled up on account of their impurity and it was claimed that no better wells could be secured now. Mr. "W. C. Bernard!, however, has put down a well on his property recently and got good water. Dr. Hersman stated last night that h timet uigeiow wouia-anowvthe well to go down in the Twenty-sixth ward, the water would be analyzed" before used, and if it would turn out impure the well would be filled up again.' MYSTERIOUS MURDER. An Ex-Aldcrman of Chicago Shot and Mortally Wounded. THE ASSASSIN A NOTED GAMBLEE. Strange Eeticence of Numerous Witnesses to the Tragedy. THE POLICE IGNORANT 0P THE AFFRAI Chicago, October 26. Ex-Alderman "William P. "Whelan was shot and mortally wounded early this morning by George H. Hathaway, a gambler. The tragedy oc curred at.i this morning in Mat Hogan's sa loon and restaurant, on State street, a ren dezvous for the sporting element At about 12 o'clock Saturday evening the ex-Alderman, in company with John Mc Ginnis, an officer in the employ of the Health Department, went into Hogan's saloon and called for champagne. Thev had been drinking freely all evening, and at the time were under the influence of liquor. Hogan joined them and they drank bottle after bottle, inviting all acquaint ances, who dropped in the meantime, to join them. At about 3:45 o'clock the trio. in company with another man, sat down at a table to have a lunch and called for another bottle of wine. HATHA-WAY PULLS HIS REVOLVER. They were chatting quietly when George H. Hathaway came in and stood at the bar for a few minutes to pay a bill. Whelan called him back and asked him to have a drink. At first he hesitated, but finally sat down, and taking a long range 48 caliber Colt's revolver from his pocket, began twirling it around under the noses ol the other". The ex-Alderman told him to put up his gun and act like a gentleman, and added that unless he did so, he would make him. At this, Hathaway jumped up just as Whelan made a grab for his gun, and pointing it straight at him said: "Well, if you want it, take it." He then pulled the trigger. The ball took effect in the leftside imme diately over the groin, passed through the abdomen, shattered the spine and came out at the back. The Alderman threw up his hands and fell upon the floor, saying: "lam bored clean through and am done for." "WALKS COOLLY AWAY. After the shooting Hathaway walked calmly away and was neither seen nor heard from for several hours. Hogan called a carriage, and in company with McGinnis conveyed the wounded man to the Michael Beese Hospital, where they left bim to the care of the physicians. The police were not notified, and didn't learn of the shooting until 6 o'clock, when through common report it came to their knowledge. Mrs. Whelan was noti fied of her husband's condition by Mat Hogan. The above is the story as related by an eye witness. Many others refused to talk. As soon as the police learned of the shoot ing and of "Whelan's condition, every effort was made to canture the perpetrator of the deed, but it was not until after 1 o'clock in the afternoon that the detectives ran across him on Clark street bridge. "When taken to the Central station he was closeted for near ly two hours with Chief Marsh and Lieu tenant Kinley, where he made a written statement of the shooting, which the police reuse to dirulge. THE HEALTH OFFICER ARRESTED. Whelan died at 2:55 o'clock in the after noon, but Hathaway was not informed of his death. John McGinnis, the Health Officer who was at the table drinking at the time, was also placed under arrest. McGin nis refused to say a word about the shoot ing, declaring innocence. Reporters were admitted into Hathaway s presence. 'In answer to their qnestions, the murderer said he was a gambler, and that there was no trouble between him and Whelan to speak of, but alleged that Whelan had once insulted him. He re fused to say anything about the shooting, and abruptly closed the interview. After ward a reporter was accorded a second in terview, and this time he said: "I was at tacked by Whelan and had to shoot him. "I was standing at the end of the bar when all of a sudden up jumped McGinnis, who had been sitting at a table eatinr Innch with Whelan, and comes at me. I told him to keep off, but he kept at me and I had to de fend myself." He denied ever having a gambling difficulty with his man. After the shooting, Hogan, the proprietor of the place, accompanied the wounded man to the hospital, and when found at 4 o'clock, was very reticent. He said there was but little talk between the men, but that little was loud. CBITICISM FOB CAPTAIN WI8HABT. A Southside Woman Thinks the L. and O. Society Persecuted Her. There is a very strong feeling among a number of small dealers on the Sonthside that they are being persecuted by the Law and Order Society. Mrs. Mary Solmon, who keeps a candy aud cigar store on Car son street, said last night: "I think, in the interest of justice and common humanity. The Dispatch ought to let the public know ho w Mr.AVishart and bis society persecute poor people. I have been prosecuted twice forselling on Sunday, and in neither case was I permitted to see a witness. I don't know if they had any. I was simply told that the best thing I could do would be to plead guilty; if I went into a hearing the fine and costs w ould be heavier. "In one ca-e I was taken before Alder man Carlisle. He said the fine would be $25 and costs if I stood a hearing. If I pleaded guilty it would only cost me $7 50. I did not see Wishart or any of his wit nesses. I asked for the parties who had bought in my store, but I was told they were not present. I paid $5 of the costs, because that was all the money I had. Alter Alder man Carlisl : went out of office he wrote me a postal card, asking me to pay the balance of the amount, and I sent him SI. What makes me think there was something wrong about the'lransaction wjs the fact that when I was at his office he told me not to say any thing to any reporter about his settling the case, and threatened to impose the'full fine in case I did. I know it is not right to sell on Sunday and I don't intend to do so, but I think it is equally wrong for such people to go around and prosecute people who are trying to get enough money to keep them out of the poorhouse." BATHER A PAINFUL SUBJECT. Pennsylvania Officials Don't Like to Talk About a New Depot. President Roberts and his inspecting party, of the Pennsylvania road, spent Sun day at the Dnquesne. Mr. Roberts was seen for a tew moments in the lobby of the house. He seldom talks much, but said that he found the lines and branches in the west in good condition, and it was the aim of the company to keep the system up to the times. Some improvements will be made along the road, bnt on the subject of a new depot for Pittsburg, Mr. Boberts was silent. Some time ago Chairman Blanchard, of the Central Traffic Association, wondered when the road would put up a new station, and a good many peoplein the city would like to know wben the time is coming. General Superintendent Miller, of the Panhandle, was asked if there was any talk about a new depot for Pittsburg. He laughed and said they hadgotten that far. The party will go over ahart of the Ft. Wayne to-day, across the new bridge, and trie Pittsbarg, Virginia and Charleston road, returning to the Duquesue in the evening.

Appearance of a Severe Cyclone on the Atlantic Coast. tPBXPARED FOB THE DI8PATCR.1 A severe cyclone has made its appearance on the Atlantic coast, central near Hatteras. It promises to be as violent as the one of last week. Its effect is felt several hundred miles in shore, and probably 'a thousand miles off shore. Its course is to the northeast, and it will be extremely dangerous fdr vessels to leave portuntd tko itorru passes. The wind last night at and near Hatteras was from 36 to SO miles an hour, blowing from the west. This indicated that the center was j ust off the coast The high pressure pushing down from the northwest caused a very steep b arometricgradl ent and high winds over the lakes. The high winds will be felt all along the coast to-day from Florida to Maine, blowing generally from north and west, and attended by colder weather) as a cold wave accompanies the high pressure. Bain fell in the lake regions and the South Atlantic States. Elsewhere over the country the weather was fair. Ic was colder in all the Western States. IN SIXTH PLACE.

His throat became ore and ulcerated, breath short, eyes weak, and had much pain over them. He lost flesh and had night sweats, which weakened him very fast. He says: ".My disease was even worse than has been de scribed. I was afraid I had consumption. It is now over ten months since I became cured, and not one of the above symptoms has re turned. I weigh more than ever before, feel well and strong, and it gives me pleasure to add my testimony with the hundreds already nub lished who have been cured by these specialists. "Johji V. Haktmas."
