rSrECIAI. TELZG-BAJJ TO TBI DISrATCH.1
NetT Xokk, October SO. Considerable
interest is being manifested in the proposal
of F. P. Slavin to come to America to fight
J. L. Sullivan. The general opinion is to
the effect that Slavin's talk is all "bluff,"
because, if he does come to tbis country, he
wants the public to know it Slavin is a
great talker and his managers urge him to
the utmost on this point.
TV. A. Brady, of tne firm of "Webster &
Brady, proprietors of the "After Dark"
Company, yesterday notified Arthur T.
Lumley that he had closed a contract with
Frank F. Slavin, the Australian heavy
weight pugilist, to appear in the concert
scene of the play.
He will come to America in about one
month, and will, upon his arrival, post
$1,000 forfeit money to, fight John L. Sulli
van for 510,000 a side and the championship
of the world. If Sullivan should refuse to
inert him, Slavin- says he will claim the
championship. Just about the time of
Slavin's arrival in New Xork Peter Jack
son will arrive in Sau Francisco from Aus
tralia, and the three greatest pugilists of the
day in the heavy-weight class will be in this
'country. Sullivan will most undoubtedly
accept Slavin's challenge without much
delay.
The "talent" here think that the first
thine Slavin should do is this: That he
should first fight Peter Jackson and let the
' winner of the Slavin-Jackson fight engage
with Sullivan. If this is decided upon,
Snll-van will then have plenty of tine to
get ready.
SATUBDATS FOOTBALL MATCH.
nusual Interest in the Coming of the
Princeton Preparatory Kickers.
Local interest in the first appearance in this
eityof a Princeton football team is extraordinar
ily high. Everybody who takes an interest in the
game is talking aboat the visitors who are sched
uled to play here on Saturday. That the team
Is a good one there is no doubt, as they have
this season defeated the regular Princeton
team. The local players, however, are confi
dent of making a good stand against the
Princeton boys, although they, the home play
ers, have not been able to secure sufficient
nractice during the lastXewdavs owing to in
clement weather. The visitors' team will be
made np as follows: Ewing, left end; Cowan,
left tackle: Reynolds, left guard: Fine, center;
Donnelly, right guard; Petty, right tackle; Raf
f erty. right end: Robins, quarter back: Walker,
left ball back: Denlinger, rient half back; Ed
wards, fall back.
Mr. Cowan is captain and was a member of
last; ear's regular team at Prirceton. He is a
great player. Mr. Fine, who plays center, was
a member cf the regular Princeton team 01
1SS4, and is also a powerful man in the rush
line.
In football circles yesterday it was stated
that the Shadyslde team have resolved to" only
play under association rules in future. The
parents of the boys hare demanded this
change, claiming that the llugb) rnles permit
of too much rough work.
COMPARATIVE SCORES.
A Table Showing How the Crack Football
Teams Stand.
While by a comparison of scores nothing
definite can be ascertained as to the strength
of the different college teams, yet some idea
can be had of their relative merits. Yale, so
far, has outplayed Princeton, except in the
Lehigh game, bnt Lehigh played a much
stronger game here than at Princeton. The
scores against Williams and Amherst, hile
not as large as those made by Harvard. ere
quite good, since Yale was weakened by the
absence of three of her best men.
Yale vs Crescents 18-6
Princeton vs Crescents. 12-0
Yalo vs Orange A. C. 1G.0
Princeton a Orange A. C 0-0

C0BRIGAH FOILED.
Jndgcs Decide Against His Efforts to Bun
the Chicago Poolbellers.
CniCACo. October 30. Last summer Ed Cor.
r.gan, proprietor of the West Side track, caused
the arrest of a number of city poolsellers for
violating the state law and city ordmanco for
bidding the sales of pools except within the
inclosurcs of racecourses. One of theso cases
came up for (nal hearing before Jndgo Tuley
tc-iy in the Circuit Com, and the Judge ren
dered a decision to the effect that the statute
and ordmanco under it are unconstitutional,
becsn they give special privileges.
Tliclavs.be found, are similar to those In
New York and Louisiana, and his decision was
in abcord with decisions already rendered in
those States. Judge Tuley stated that the law
gate power of suppression of poolselling to
the Mayor and authorities, but no authority
was contained for the regulation thereof. The
trainers of the ordinance, therefore, had acted
bejond their authority, and the police have
right onlv to prombit the sale of such pools.
Ulie city will take an appeal from the de
cision. In the meantime, there is nothing to
prevent pool selling at will in this city unless
the general State law ag iinst gambling can be
made to apply Over 200 suits similar to the
one deeded to-daj are on the docket.
Th-y will not be pushed pending the action
of a higher court.

THEIR TRIP A FAILURE.
The Salford Harriers Have Not Pocketed
the Money Expected in America.
Kev York, October 3a The starring tour
of the Manhattan A. C-Salford Harriers' com
bination of champion athletics has not proven
the financial bonanza its promoters anticipated.
The agreement entered into with the athletic
clubs of the various cities at which joint meet
ings have been given was equal division of the
profits, if there were any, the home club to
stand all losses entailed.
At Detroit about $600 was divided, at Chicago
the meeting was a failure, at Buffalo there was
a small division, at Boston it was a failure, and
at Philadelphia the Athletic Club of the
Schuylkill Navy footed npover J100 on the
wrong side of the ledger.
The managers of the troupe rely upon the
Madison Square Garden meeting to Help-cut
down the losses, which fall upon the Manhattan
A. Cfortbe visitors "can't Ioo-e," having been
guaranteed $1,000 irrespective of how the ven
ture panned out.
If the combination's visit to Boston was not
attended with happy results, that to the City of
Brotherly Love was direful. Barely 400 spec
tators were present and the guues were a
farce. The A. C. S. N. had advertised Westing.
Conneff. Copeland. Carey, in fact nearly all
M. A. C. champions had ueen entered for the
meeting, but none appeared for competition.
The A. C. S. N. ofhcials were very indignant
at this state of affairs and were not at all back
ward in expressing their feelings to the M. A.
C. representatives present.
The Philadelphians had heard of the Salford
Harriers' charges of discourtesy against the
Boston Athletic Association, and were deter
mined to avoid such a complaint against the
Schnjlkill Wavy. Therefore an elegant ban
quet was tendered the visitors alter the games,
but tne courtesy Mas almost regretted when
several of the Enclishmcn sat down to the re
past wearing blue flannel shirts. The other
guests were not ultra fastidious, but tbis dis
play of British eccentricity caused a great deal
of unfavorable comment.
HAD A MERRY TIME.
Members of the Pittsburg Rod and Oun
Club Have a Banquets
The members of the Pittsburg Rod and Gun
Club are a lot of jolly good fellows, and when
they have an "evening at home" in their club
room merriment is supreme. Last night they
had in all respects a festive time. M. Blapnack
had sent them a 32-pound trout, and the fish
was utilized toward making np the good things
for a banquet. About 100 gentlemen, including
representatives of the press, were on band and
enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
A splendid entertainment preceded the ban
quet. G. H. Christy. E-q . made an extremely
interesting speech on fishing. During his re
marks he very humoroiulv pointed out the
necessity of a man, who goes on a fishing ex
cursion, taking more than one pair of pants
i th him. Mr. Chnstv went on to argue that
all the head waters of the local rivers should
be stocked with fish so that cltirens conld take
a "dav's outing" to catch fish. The speaker
also piid a very high encomium to the workot
Fish Warden Hague for his untlnnc efforts in
running down poachers and illegal fishers.
Vocal music was rendered by the Amphion
Quartet, Messrs. Holoen and Thomas and
members of the club. Medals were anarded to
the best rower and shooter of the club and also
to the laziest member. Dr. W. G. Schirmer
kept everything going smoothly. He is secre
tary of the club and it is In a prosperous con
dition. Dr. F. N. Staub is president and the
membership ts over 50. The festivities were
continued until a late hour.

rSrECTAL TXLIQKAM TO THE DISPATCH.
DtJNBAK, PA., October 31. The flames
in the Hill farm mine are being; slowly but
surely overcome. Men have been at work
in the mines every day for two weeks past,
and are daily in peril of their lives, from
either the fire or tbe black damp, which is
very thick. A depth of 1,500 "feet has been
reached, and the mauway has been made
secure by bratticing, so that the men may
work 'more easily. The slopewayTias also
been cleared to this distance, and on tbe
way some large falls have been passed.
Live coals are being daily banled ont in the
wagons and dumped like slack.
Tbe officials are hopeful of a speedy
termination of their troubles with this un
lucky mine. There will be some awfnl dis
covery in a few days, though no bodies have
as yet been discovered, nor has anything
belonging to the men been found. The
workers fear they will find the poor men
dead from starvation instead of being
smothered to death, as was at first supposed.
A depth of 1,100 feet more will brine the
workers to the level of the water.
The third attempt to enter the mine,
which began three weeks ago, has reached
tbe critical point, and the ptogress of the
men from this time on will be watched with
tbe greatest interest. Hugh Dora n, assist
ant mine. boss, leads the effort. Under his
direction an iron pipe laid down the man
way is nsed to carry water to tbe fire.
Up to last Friday night fonr sections of
the slope had been cleared awav. Tbe filth
section was finished to-day. This section
was a terrible test of hnman endurance.
Fire which could not be quenched was
handled with tbe shovel and redhot coals
were hauled to the surface and disposed of.
The heat was so intense that bnt a few min
utes could be spent in it at one time. But
it was cleared at last. The sif th section is
that part oi tbe slope known as "Jacob's
Ladder." Here all interest has been cen
tered for weeks. It was explored to-day by
Mine Boss Doran, as no other man would
brave the heat Several falls were en
countered, which are all live coals. Mr.
Doran was nearly overcome by the heat and
gas arising from the fire.

BIG HOPES AT STAKE.
Cleveland and Hill's Presidental
Chances Affected by the
HOT KEW XORK CITY CAMPAIGN.
If tbe
Two Democratic Leaders
Factional Fights May
Clash
PERIL THE INTERESTS OF BOTH IN '92
irKOM A STAFF COMtESPONDENT. 1
New Yobk, October 30. Tbe municipal
struggle now on in this city is likely to be a
very hot one. The personal bitterness and
factional animosity engendered by it will be
carried into national politics. This affects
the Democratic party directly and the Re
publicans indirectly.
Out-of-town people will understand the
importance of the issue to the national Dem
ocracy from the fact that Governor David
B. Hill, himself a prospective Presidental
candidate, has been laboring day and night
with the party leaders to seenre harmonions
action as to Assemblymenand Congressmen.
These efforts have not proven satisfactory.
An apparent trnce is bnt the coyer of the
mining and countermining continually go
ing on between the warring factions.
Tbis bitterness between Tammany Hall
and tbe County Democracy is one oi the
curious features of New York City govern
ment. The combination of the latter with
the Republicans and municipal reformers,
styled the tripartite alliance, as against
Tammany, is something in politics abso
lutely unknown and impossible in any
other city of the nnioD. The so-called
County Democracy is composed of the worst
lot of Democratic spoilsmen that could be
scraped together. In their present com
pany the Mnnicipal Eeform League are all
the 'swallow-tails, mugwumps, political and
social cranks of every denomination men
who consider themselves above and superior
to both parties, and who are constitutionally
antagonistic to "the state of things."
SIMON PUKE EEPUBLICAHS.
The third party to this combination is
composed o! simou pure Republicans, who
indorse Ingalls' Pittsburg declaration that
auy Republican is better than tbe best Dem
ocrat. Tbe combination presents every ex
treme in local and national politics. It is
bonnd together by a single bond of friend
ship, "To beat Tammany."
Now the only interest this situation has
for the readers ot The Dispatch is in Us
bearing on national politics. While this
chiefly concerns the general Democratic
organization, it has a uot unimportant refer
ence to national Republicans. For it is
possible that the result of the present mu
nicipal quarrel may remove irom the
national political arena one or two prom
inent Presidental candidates perhaps
eliminate New York as a State from consid
eration in that connection.
Governor Hill is personally interested in
the success oi the Tammany candidates, but
he is also more than personally interested
in tbe defeat of any coalition that embraces
Republicans and Mugwumps as its princi
pal elements. Nobody knows better than
David B. Hill the significance of the vic
tory of such a combination. It would wipe
him out of national political existence. No
wonder, then, that tbe chief executive of
the State of New York has temporarily
moved bis office to the metropolis. He has
need to camp on the field.
There is one other man who is deeply
affected by tbe present movement,' and that
is Mr. Grover Cleveland, lawyer, Williams
street. Mr. Cleveland is in rather an
equivocal position. Heisjnstnow imitat
ing "B'r Eabbit," and is lying low in the
high grass. While Hill is working tooth
and nail to secure harmony in tbe ranks of
his party, his rival is quite as earnestly
doing nothing.
. CLEVELAND EMBARRASSES.
It is not wholly a difference of character.
Mr. Cleveland is embarrassed by mngwump
ery. His law partner, Mr. Stetson, has in
dorsed the People's Municipal League and
quite a number of his distinctive friends
have gone the same way. On the other hand
Mr. Whitney and Colonel Lamont are
stra ght Tammany. There is a considerable
undercurrent of comment on this situation
of the Cleveland wing, and some of these
same comments would doubtless pain the
ex-President's friends to hear.
It is grimly proposed by the disciples of
Mr. Richard Croaker to smoke B'r
Rabbit out This idea is a cruel one,
but it has a practical sound
that reminds us of practieal politics.
Tammany wants to know, you know, where
Mr. Cleveland stands. Will he vote with
them or will he side with his wicked partner
and support the tripartite alliance? From
this we are led to infer that Mr. Cleveland is
not above suspicion. Encouraging tbis sus
picion isthe lavorable opinion of Mr. Cleve
land expressed by the Mugwumps and
County Democracy. But, as I said before,
he is in a ticklish position. If he joins with
Hill and Tammany and the latter are suc
cessful he strengthens Hill's Presidental
haud. If he should go with the combina
tion, he bids farewell to Tammany's good
graces. Maunesiiy it is 10 a r Cleve
land's advantage to "lay low." And this
sort of diplomacy accords with his political
character and personal disposition.
On the results of the present New York
municipal campaigu, therelore, hang tbe
hopes and aspirations of two national Dem
ocratic leaders. It by no means follows that
the success of Tammany means Hill, or that
the success of the opposition means Cleve
land. A united Democracy will be neces
sary t either of them. It is a hopeless and
bitter division that endangers both. But
the part one or the other tikes in tbe local
fight will go a long ways to prejudice for or
against.
WAR TO THE KHIFE.
There are strong indications that the
present row will end with the scalps of the
Couutr Democrats in Tammany's belt The
war this time is to the knife and the Demo
crats of New York are expert with the knife.
Should Tammany's boast that she will wipe
out the Connties for good and all become a
realization the Democratic vote of this city
in the next national election will not be
quite as heavy as it was the last time. There
will be a sneaking back into tbe Tammany
ranks of many spoilsmen like John R.
Fellows, but the cutting and thrusting that
will be done by those who remain outside
will make a greater showing than the dif
ference between tbe last Cleveland and Hill
vote. The knowledge ol this may prevent
the next Democratic Convention from choos
ing a New York man as national standard
bearer. Certain it is that should Hill or
Cleveland, or both together, be unable to
straighten out this kink in the ranks satis
factorily, the party will do a wise thing to
steer clear of them and try a man from some
other State.
The animosities of this factional quarrel
are likelv to leave a sting behind, and any
other course will increase the chances of the
Republican party carrying New York and
the Presidency. But for the bungling and
incompetent leadership of Boss Plati there
wonld be no chances abont it Tbey would
carry it certainly. Murray.

CLAIMS A SWINDLE.
An Allegheny Young Man Who Lost Two
Dollars and a Half His Story of the Way
He Dropped Bis Boodle.
F. M. Stewart, an agent in charge of what
is known as the Inter-State Manniactnring
Company at No, 33 Wood street, was ar-
restd yesterday by Alderman McMaster's
constable on a charge preferred by John
Russell, of Allegheny.
Russel alleged in his complaint that he
called on Stewart in reference to an adver
tisement stating that a yonng man conld
find employment at tbe ofhee at $15 a week.
Russell says he was nnder tbe impression
that he was wanted to run the elevator.
After some talk be was asked to sign a
paper, which he did, thinking, he stated,
that ne was to secure the last named posi
tion. liussell asserted that when he signed the
paper the reading matter was covered by a
blotter, so that he conld not see wbatkind of
article he had signed. He was next asked
for $2 SO, which he gave, and in return got
receipt for the money signed by Stewart for
the" Interstate Manufacturing Company.
Russell was then handed the prospectus of
a book which Stewart said he was to sell.
Russell stated that be could not understand
this, as he thought he was being employed
to run the elevator, and uot to sell books.
Stewart said that was what he agreed to do.
Russell was given a duplicate copy of the
paper he had signed. He read it
over and fonnd that by signing
it he had agreed to work for the company
for four weeks on trial in a capacity
that would be required of him. such as a
collector, solicitor or deliverer. He had
agreed to work faithfully eight hours each
day, for which he was to receive 515 per
week. An average of 24 orders weekly was
expected, but if he delivered only half of
that number the work would be considered
complete.
The money for the prospectus was not to
be refunded, bnt if it was returned in good
condition tbe money would be taken iu ex
change for a complete copy of the works
upon payment of $2 additional. Russell
said that he had never had any experience
in canvassing, and told Stewart that he
would not take the job, and at the same time
asked him for the $2 50. Stewart refused
to return it, but said that he would sell him
tbe complete works for the $2 additional, as
stated in the agreement.
Stewart was held in $300 bail for trial by
the Alderman.
ONE H0EE KHIFE STORY.
