GOSSIP ABOUT LOCAL FOOTBALL Daoa md XeCutfcy to Sign Articles Gtntril Sporting News of the Dy. There are more hunters in and about Pitts burg awaiting the dann of November 1, Saturday nest, than there have been at any similar time in the history of the city. So many gentlemen are making preparations to "go hunting" as soon as the quail season opens that dogs and guns hare become re markably scarce in the city. Mr. E. E. Shaner, the well-known shooter of this city, talked rery interestingly ou the matter yes terday. He baid: I have taken an actilre interest in shooting and huut.nir for many years in this city, but I never knew of so many Pittsburgers preparing to go banting as there are just now. Why everybody I meet seems to be gettinc ready to go. this hunting enthusiasm is not con fined to members of guu clubs, but I find It among all clause., even those who have not handled guns for ears. I had no idea of how general the desire to go hunting was until yes terday, when some friends of mine were as usnal trying to hire a second-hand gun from the gun stores. Why it Is the most difficult thing imacmable to get a second-hand gnn this year and there certainly are no dogs to'get now, as they have all been encaged. Last year there were plentv of both guns and dogs. "How do I account for the hunting mania? Well. I don't know exactly what has caused it. Ccntainlvsbootinc has been more popular in Westcrn'Pennsylvania this year than ever be fore, bnt that is only one cause. As I just said scores who are not regular shooters are going on hunting trips. Probably business has been better than usnal durinz the car. ISutla-ii 'ncliacu to think that suddenly a love for the spoir and pleasure of hunting has sprung up among me people, ana tuat love seems io nave bee; contagious." The majority of the hunters who intend to hie tbemselcBoff to the woods and mountains will n"t start until after election day. The majority of Pittsburgers who propose to kill quail arid other came do not intend to go out of xui J?tate. Several are goincto Westmoreland comity and a. few are goirg into Eastern Ohio. It is the intention of pcrcral gcutlemcn to try and have some hunting clubs organized during the winter: that is, clubs the oalv object of which is to promote hunting excursions Uuriug the winter. Until the hunting season is over there will not be any local shooting contests of import ance, as almost all the experts are away or are preparing to go away The big match t hat was to take place yesterday under the management of Mr. F. F. Davidson has been postponed until the season is over. When the shooter- return from their excursions an -all-day's shoot" on a very larje scale will be arranged to take place on Brurwt's Island. The shoo; will likely take place on Thanksgiving Bay, and if that is too early it w ill take place on Cnnstmas Day. If it is held on ibfi latter date efforts will be made to hare the national champions here. LOCAL E00TBALL GOSSIP. Princeton Team Will be Hero and the Home Plaj ers Keady for Them. The Princeton Prepartory football team will be here on Saturday to tackle the eleven of the Allegheny Athletic Club at Exposition Park, and a great time is expected. If the weather is anything like fine, doubtless there will be a very large crowd of spectators at the match. The local team wil! be made as strong as possi ble. Mr. Campbell, an ex-Harvard player will be among the borne kickers and so will Dan Earr. Without doubt the match will be the most important that has ever taken place in this city and it is a sure indication that football Satrons are determined to make the sport go ere. November 15 has been definitely fixed as the date for the Cleveland team to come here. It is the day on which the Priddy-McClelland font race takes place, but the football match will bo started soon enough to finish in time to have the grounds cleared Tor the foot race. The football match will help the attendance to the foot race. The grounds can be cleared in ten minutiS, so that the runners will hare plenty of time to get leady and run their race. The Western University team will play the Washington-Jefferson eleien at Washington on Saturday. This afternoon the University team and the Athletics will play a practice match at Exposition Park. It is also likely that the East End Gymnasium eleven and the Shadysides will play on Saturday, although almost all the plajer want to see "the Princeton-Athletic contest. EASY F0H THE HABVABDS.

October 29. At a late hour last night Cal McCarthy accepted an offer of a pnrse of $2,500 for a meeting with George Dixon, the colored featherweight champion. The offer was made by the Puritan Club of Long Island City, and the secretary of the club submitted a copy of the articles of agreement to McCarthy.Jwhich the latter signed. Tom O'Rourke and Dixon were seen a little later but they wanted until Saturday to think before signing. The articles call for a boxing match between Dixon and McCarthy, of 25 rounds, with a privilege of the referee ordering as many more rounds as he desires until a fair and impartial decision can be arrlred at, the condition of the purse to be $2,200 to the winner and S3UU to tue loser; tns men to weigh it at 114 pounds ten hours before entering the ring, and the contest to take place on a date to be agreed upon later on. O'Kourke said that the articles suited him, but that he would desire the weighing-in to take place within Sre hours, instead of ten hours belore entering the ring. He would pre fer the contest to take place in January, in. t--.id of December, the month that McCarthy named, because of Dixon's recent battle with Johnny Murphy in Providence. McCarthy will most likely agree to both changes, because of the anxiety to get on another match with Dixon. The size of gloves to be used will be agreed upod by the club when Dixon has made up bis rend to sign. It is safe to say that these two feather-weight champions will again be seen in the ring in this vicinity. The purse is a big one. ard Dixon's backer knows that a better offer w ill not be made by any otber than the Puritan Club. ffers ot purses from the athletic clubs are bignmngto come In to the managers of the GiblMjus-Cushlng fight. Jack Adler, Cnshlng's backer, has received several since Friday last. It is a singular thing that all applicants bare asked to have their names remain unmeutioned except the Audubon Club, of New Orleans. IliHclub telegraphed to Adler yesterday ask ing what date bad been agreed upon, and Im plying that they would like to hare the fight for a good-sized purse. Adler, who Is foxy, re plied In the simplest language, saylngthat the contest would come off on such and such a date whether there was a purse or not, bnt it the -Audubon Club would bans, up so much their application would be considered alone with the rest. '"Of coarse." saitt Adler to a Sun reporter to whom he turned over the telegram for perusal. "I would rather have a purse, for that means just so much money, hut it doesn't make a treat deal of difference." We are fighting for a pood stako (SLbOO a side) and the people who will be present will all have plenty of money to bet, so if we hare the winner we'll C homo with a barrel." A GBEAT MEETING.

BEUSH ON DECK AGAIN. He Visits Cincinnati Presumably to Locate a National League Team There. Cincinnati, October 29. John T. Brush. President of the Indianapolis Baseball Club, was in the city yesterday. He was at the Grand Hotel, but bis name did not appear on the reg ister of this hostelry. Mr. Brush' business here was private, and he did not register. He was under covet. In other words, the old Chief of tho Hoosier Capital Club was here as an emissary of the National League. He came here to look over the territory with a riew to establishing a League club. He viewed a number of desirable pieces of real estate, bnfreached no conclusion. He admitted yesterday that he had been in the West End looking at real estate, but re lused to sav that ho wanted the property for baseball purposes. Mr. Brush is without doubt one of the brightest business men ever con nected witn baseball. It is believed an effort will be made to get Colonel Harry Sterne to take stock in a League club. The Colonel was always a strong League man. and is yet. He would not have sold out bis stock but for the fact that he was forced to by the retirement of his partner. President A. S. Stern. Colonel Harry Sterne likes the excitement incidental to the ownership of a baseball club. He has an abundance of means, and If he gets a chance on a reasonable basis it would cause the' writer no surprise to see bim connected with a Cincinnati League club next season. WANTS TO BET ON CONGRESS. A Little Bit of Democratic Money Which, is Awaiting Takers. A Democrat called at The DliPATCH office last evening and made the following statement: "There are a lot of Republicans who have been anxious to bet even on a State with 80,000 majority to start on. Now I want to see if there is anr sporting blood among them. I will place 50 In your hands to bet that the next National House of Representatives, to be elected Tuesday, November 4, will have a Dem ocratic majority, thus repudiating Speaker Reed and the McKinlev bill." The 50 is in the hands of the sporting editor of The Dispatch awaiting takers. Played In the Wet. SPECIAL TELEGllAM TO THE DISPATCH.! New Yoke. October 29.

Miss Lizzie Phelps, the haudsome aud accomplished daughter of Norman A. Phelps, of this city, was united in marriage to AVilliam Slattery, the Phelps family coachman, at3o'clockthis afternoon, by the Eey. Samuel Dunham. This is a remarkable marriage lor the reason that Miss Phelps is worth over 5100,000. goes in the best society and is considered one of the blue blood, while, on the other hand, Slattery. is an ignorant fellow and sprang from a family of rather, shady repn tation. His father recently served a term in State prison for an offense against his own daughter. Slattery, however, is himself quite a pop ular fellow. He has been employed by the Phelps family for the past two years as a laborer, his main duties being to care for the horses and take tbe daughters out ridiDg. He is a very handsome fellow and possesses a form that any athlete might be proud of, THE BBIDE'S FAMILY TOKN UP. It is said that Miss Phelps" parents dis covered the romantic courtship some weeks ago and have done everything in their power to break up their relations, but with out avail. The smitten girl was obdurate and said she would marry Slattery in spite of anything. The mother finally gave her consent and made the best ol the affair. The father and other two daughters left the city some days ago and are said to be completely broken up over tbe affair. The bride is 27 years of age and is a niece of the late Judge Phelps. She is promi nently known in exclusive society circles. Her lste uncle left her 100,000 in cash which has been inrested profitably by Mr. J. W. Manier. the President ot the Susque hanna Valley Bank. She has also consid- erauie real estate in ner name, .ill mc uiut riage to-day only Mr. Manier and her mother were present SET UP IN BUSINESS. The couple have taken up their residence at Afton, a small place 20 miles from here where tbe bride's mother has purchased and furnished a house, also a block and grocery store which will be conducted by the groom. The affair is all the more queer from the fact that Miss Phelps has had plenty of admirers and could hare wedded one of the first young men of this city whom she repeatedly snubbed and discarded for Slattery. Of course society is in a furore of excitement oyer the affair and no doubt the remaining two daughters will be closely guarded, irom the society of futnrc coachmen. The Phelps family is one of the oldest and wealthiest in this section and occnpies a mansion at Port Dickinson, a beautiful suburb of BinghamtcD. The mother was very strict, and until recently seldom al lowed tbe daughters to entertain male ac quaintances. HOW THE MONET CAME. The death of Sherman D. Phelps some years ago left a large fortune to be divided between his two sons, Bobert and Arthnr. Bobert married, bnt afterward both died by drink and on their death and that of Bobert's wife, each of the Judge's nieces Lizzie, Emma and Panuie' inherited the property. Lizzie, the eldest, was a farnrite'with the old banker and received 1,000 more than her sistets. The' opening of Bobert Phelps' crave re cently by D. S. Bichards to seenre evidence to prove unskillful embalming, for which a bill of $10,000 was presented, resulted in the arrest and conviction of Bichards. He was fined and sentenced to prison, but es caped the latter punishment. Fannie, the youngest, fell in love with the coachman first and an engagement resulted, but Fan nie was jilted for the elder sister. A LITTLE SHOOTING THREATENED. Slattery's brother married into the Tabor family, which has an unsavory reputation in this section. One ot tbe two brothers stabbed auother member of the family some years ago with latal effect When these stories reached the ears of Captain L. L. Olmstead, of tbe Sixth Battery, it is re ported, he threatened to shoot William, the prospective groom, on sight Captain Olin stcad's wife is a relative of the Phelps family, which is not aware of tbe stain which darkens Slattery's name. Slattery held himself aloot when the choleric Cap tain's story reached his ears. Norman Phelps, the father, it is claimed by the groom, was sent to New York to re cover irom a spree. He was accompanied by his daughter Emma. Fannie, who is engaged to a clerk in a furnishing goods store here, stayed with an aunt until after the ceremonv. RACE OF THE TWIN CELTES.

Investigating the Movements of the Colonel In the Case. Woodstock, Ont., October 29. The let- ter from Jackson, Mich., purporting to have been written by "the Colonel" in the Birch all case, is regarded here as the clumsiest fabrication Birchall has yet put forth. An examination of the handwriting, and com parison of it with samples of Birchall's, shows a verv generel resemblance between the two, and in some cases a very striking likeuess. Among the communications recently re ceived by Mr. Birchall is one from an en tertaining fellow who declared his willing ness to take Birchall's place at the hanging for the sum of 1,000. A dispatch from London says: Inquiries were made to-day at Morley's Hotel, in Trafalgar Square, to ascertain what truth there is in the storv from Montreal, that Birchali,Mrs.Birchall and the "ColoneI,"the alleged authorof the letter received by Birch all, were at the hotel last January. The bonks of the hotel show that an American, styling himself "Colonel Lewis," arrived there on January 1 and remained until Jan uary 24. Birchall arrived on January 14, and was a guest until January 18. Since January the "Colonel" has olten called at the hotel, but has not remained as a guest. His repeated visits to tbe hotel render it un likely that he has been out ot England since January. The servants say they remember distinctly that the manager of the hotel and the "Colonel" discussed the murder. CHILI IS HUE. Iler President Approves the Work of the Pan-American Congress.

TELEORAU TO THE DISPATCH.t New Castle, October 29. The triangu lar Congressional fight in this district was enlivened to-day by another batch ot bribery affidavits. J. P. Newton made oath that John B. Brown, Mayor of New Castle, and James Whippo, a delegate to the Eepub lican convention, bribed him to work for Thomas W. Phillips and get Democratic votes for him. His affidavit also states that he saw Whippo give a bill to John Harper, presumably for his services in behalf of Phillips. The affidavit says Harper is a Democrat. The affidavit further reads: On Saturday night, October 23, 1 met ;Bert Houk, of Shenango township, a prominent uemocrat, on Washington street, and took him to the Phillips headquarters, over the National Bank. We went into the front room. Houk took a seat in tbat room. J. 15. Brown and James Whi'npo were in the next room. Brown called me into this room. Brown then tool: Houk into a third room. After a little while Brown came back to where Whippo and I were and called me into the room Houk and he bad gone into, and gave me So. I went out and met Uouk on the street He showed me two & bills he got from Brown for agreeing to voto Ior rnPs. ana ue gave me one oi tnem, anu said Brown promised him S15 more. 1 have this money deposited in a safe in New Castle, The Phillips people say that Newton was not long ago before the court on a charge of forgery, and that his oath was impeached in another case. They also produce an affi davit Irom Harper to the effect that he never was a Democrat, and tbat he never re ceived any money from Whippo, as alleged in Newton's affidavit Harper also states in his affidavit that J. J. Dean promised Newton to give him double any amount of money he could get from the Phillips men if he would bring the money to him just as he got it in the original package, so to speak. Harper also states that Newton told him Brown gave him 5 to hire a rig to go out and see what he could do among his Democratic friends. Afterward Newton told the deponent that he had been among his friends and hired nine men with their teams at 6 apiece, and that Brown refused to pay him the money to pay tbe men.

Switzer, of this city, who was Pettit's ad viser and lriend. He went to Pettit's house on tbe evening his wife died to sympathize with him and found him alone with Mrs. Whitehead. Tne great light on admission of evidence then becan. It is known that Mrs. White head confessed her engagement to Pettit previous to his wife's death to Swstzer in Lalayette in December last The defence objected to this being admitted on the ground that it narrated a past event, was given in tbe absence of the defendant, was by a third party, and that no conspiracy is admissable in evidence unless it is a con spiracy to do the act charged in tbe indict ment The answer was that the conspiracy was both to marry and commit murder. The court will pass on the point to-morrow. BUSY AS BEES. NO tET UP MORE CROWDED THAU EVER COME AS EARLY IN THE DAY AS YOU CAN TO AVOID THE RUSH.

How a Young Broker lost His Prospective Wife Through the Gas Going Out. There is no doubt that the sudden giving out temporary as it Is in the supply of natural gas, has a great deal to answer for, as the sequel to the following veracious narrative shows. A certain popular and thriving young broker whose business is mostly confined to the im mediate neighborhood of the Oil Exchange left bis bachelor quarters last evening for a SeHodical visit to the "only girl he ever lored." e was received with all the cordiality which a respectable balance, at his banker's, and an unimpeachable ancestry insures for a devotee at Cupid's shrine. He was made welcome in the cosily furnished parlor, whose sole illumination was effected by the quiet glow of the gas-created "log Are," which glimmered and leaped, and sparkled in evident sympathy with "bis Hotter-' ing hopes and expectant prospects. After a due interval his mother-in-law in future found something upstairs that needed her attention, and the happy young man was alone with his inamorata. lint, alas! for the mutability of human affairs! He had just screwed up his courage to the pro posing point; one arm stole around the supple form of his "ladye faire": in imagination he bad already anticipated her answer, and was figuring on the cost of the wedding trfp when the gas went out The lady gave a scream which quickly brought in her mother; the swain was discorered in a mad search lor the pipe faucet; the matron accused him of turning off tbe gas to allow the moon to exhibit her classic beauty through the top window; his ex cuses availed him not. and be left the house within the next two minutes rowing vengeance on nature for providing such a treacherous fluid, and promising himself to champion the cause of coal in tbe future.

Chartered and organized May 26, 1888, under the laws of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania. $25 OO per week for sickness or accident. $ 1,000 OO JU seven years A member does not have to die to get these benefits. It is not an experiment, for it is being accomplished every day. It provides pecuniary ability to its members during sickness or ac cident, so that they are not dependent upon charity in misfortune, and the payment of the certificate after seven years' membership. An assesment of $2 50 will secure the benefit of 1,000 00, payablo in seven years, and the protection of $25 00 per week during disability, to the amount of half the face of the certificate, four weeks per annum, which benefits are deducted from certificate at maturity. All money paid as assessments reverts to the credit of certificates, and cannot be used for any other purpose, as expenses of conducting the order are provided for through the initiation fees and quarterly dues. Members have 30 days in which to pay assessments. Our estimate is thirteen and one-half assessments per annum, or ninety-five assessments in seven years.
