President Tccrg Tslta About Bsselsll General Sporting
News of the Dsy.
It is intended to hold a very important
meeting of the Homewood Driving Park
Association to-day. The meeting will be
one of stockholders, and it is anticipated
that one of the questions for discnssion will
concern the to-be or not-to-be or the Home
wood track. A gentleman interested in the
association said yesterday afternoon:
"Of course, if our meeting takes place, it
will be a lively one. I expect it will be
held, at least notices are out for it, and there
are two parties. One is in favor of retain
ing the track and the other is for selling it
for building sites. It is claimed that the
latter party has a controlling interest of the
stock. That may be so. bnt I'll show you
how they will be downed. A certain gen
tleman has bought a large quantity ot stock,
bnt he has not et been elected a member of
the association, so that he cannot vote. I
further think that if he declares himself to
the effect that he wants to sell the track, he
will not be elected a member of the associa
tion. -Most certainly there is a movement
going on, the object of which is to break up the
park as a real estate speculation."
Secretary McCracken, of the association,
could not be found 3 esterday afternoon, but a
friend of his s-aid that the Secretary was "hust
ling for proxies for the meeting." "The friends
of the track and of trotting races are doing
everything in their poner to foil the efforts of
those who wish to make the track a thing of the
lust. The general opinion seems to be that It
would be a creat loss to the city and a heavy
blow to local horse breeders if a resolution to
sell the track for building purposes as car
ried. The stockholders are also requested to electa
President, Secretary and Treasurer for the
next 12 months, and also nine directors. It is
fully expected that Mr. McCracken will be re
elected without opposition. He has done well
during the past year, and has shown that he
Tinows his business thoroughly. The new
board will have to deal with some important
questions, such as the puises and stakes for
next ear. anil also the number of race meet
ings to be held, that is if the party who wantto
break up the track do not succeed. It Is
Thought the) mil not.
ATHLETIC SPOETS AEEANGED.
Some Entertaining Inhibitions to be Given
at the East End Gymnasium.
There are fen, if any, men moro active in ar
ranging athletic entertainments than Professor
Kirchner, of the East End Gymnasium. As a
preliminary event to his proDoscd indoor
meeting which is going to be on a large scale
the professor lias arranged an athletic exhibi
tion which is t be given in the cyinnasinm hall
duiing the middle of next month.
The contests will all be of an amateur kind
and they are of a class that will ensure lots of
fun and amusement. There villi be a boxing
contest for members. This will certainlv be
Interesting and the contest will be decided in
the regulation way: that is the winner of bouts
will mett until only two are lef and thev will
box for the prize. Of course the boxing will le
forpoints. There will be wresihng lor light
weights open to all amateurs. Prizes will also
be offered for club swinging: contortion work,
and high kicking. An admission lee will be
charged and tickets can be purchased from
any of the members. The professor states
that his great object In having the abov" ex
hibitions is to stimulate the members of the
organization to regular exercise during the
winter months. There are some prominent
young athletes in the clnb and it is expected
tbat6omeof them will come prominently be
fore the public next j ear.
ITe Taiors Mr. O'Neill.
The following communication fully explains
Itself:
To the Sporting Editor ofThc lllspitch:
Sir As one who has watched the baseball
conflict this year with strict impartiality, and
as one who wants to see a good baseball clnb
here. I hope that the directors of the new club
will select J. P. O'Neill as their presiaent. Ho
has proven beyond all doubt that he can look
artcr the interests of a club as well as any man
living. He has made a success, and nobody can
dcn that. It is certain that any club be is
iiresident of will not get left. He has enemies
ike everybody else. I trust that the directors
will not be moved by Mr. O'Neill's enemies, and
that thev will work for the club's best interest.
V'e all know now that he can hold his own
against any of the magnates.

rSFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCn.1
"Wildwood, November 17. The pro
lific southwestern line of the "Wildwood
field exhibits a tenacity that surpasses the
expectations of the most sanguine operators
who had pinned their faith to the glory and
greatness, so to speak, that the drill wonld
reveal. The Zingenhein well, located ISO
feet east from the Governor Fattison well, is
doing 85 barrels to-night, while the Both Oil
Company No. 7 on the Harbush is making
SO barrels an hour. The Governor Pattison
well is holding up at 105 barrels an hour.
Greenlee fc Forst, No. S Rolshouse. is produc
ing 40 barrels an hour, while their No. 9, same
farm, is making 100 barrels a day from
the first pay. Their Icepond well made
a production of eight inches in a 250 tank
in the lasts! nonrs. Hie same company's jno.
13, Rolsbonsc, will find the sand the latter
part of the present week. The Forest Oil
Company and Gutty t Queene will, in all prob
ability, hit the first pay by Wednesday In No.
2, Kolshouse, while the Smith Oil Com
pany's 4, on the Smith farm, is on top tha
sand, and it will not be long before the first
pay is entered. The Kanawha Oil Company's
Fogel farm well, to the great surprise of the
owners, made a five-inch flow this afternoon.
Mansfield The Mellon fc Co. well, on the
Scott farm, located about a half mile nearly
due cast from Patterson A Co.'s McCurdy well,
struck first pay this afternoon and the well
began flowing. As there was no tankage np its
production could not be estimated, but by
practical operators who were present the well
is considered a good one. It will only be a
short time until the new venture is opened np,
and " - ibove predictions are made good by
tbo well coming in as big as the McUurdy it
will indicate quite a scope of available terri
tory, which, if the inclination of the producers
is followed, will stimulate many new ventures.
Bridgeviixe The Forest Oil Company's
well on the Stewart-Hickman farm made a nice
flow yesterday from the Gordon sand. It is
estimated tbatthe well will start off at 75 barrels
a dav.
Jack's Run The Thayer well, on the Frank
Berger farm, is holding up at seven barrels an
hour.
East Brady Boyd iGuckert are through
the third ana fourth sands in their well on tne
Williamion farm, in the old Armstrong run
district, and it is dry in both horizons; they are
drilling for the fifth sand.
Turkeyfoot 1 wo good wells have just
been added to the credit of the South Penn
Oil Company and Bott, on the Leo farm. No. 4
is showing for a 100-barrcl well, while No. 3 was
a genuine surprise to operators in this field.
The well has 30 feet of good sand, and, from
present indications, it is thought, will start oS
anyw'-ere from 200 to 300 barrels a day whon
tubed and packed. The same parties havo rigs
upon the same farm for Nos. 2 and 6, and will
bounce the drill soon. George Givcns com
pleted a duster on the Lyons farm.
Chartieks The Chartiera field has been
quite dull for the last two weeks. The way
seems to be opening up again, anil bpfore long
quite a number of new wells will be in opera
tion. The well on the Kritzer, near Duffs,
w hich was looked noon as a failure, came in to
day, and is makiug 10 barrels an hour and still
drilling. The Bryant Zinkbani, on the Bry
ant, is a very fair well. The Humphries, on
Town Lot, is about 30 feet in the hundred foot,
with a bit in the well. The McKee's Rocks, on
Zinkham. is down 1,200 feet, and Robinson, on
the McGunagle. is down 1.100 feet; Fisher, on
Guthrie, 1,200 feet. The second well on same
lease is down 1,000 feet. Robinson, on the
Mower, is ready to start drilling. Fisher, on
the Meyrcs, same distance on the advance line,
is drilling a well. The Martin well, on the
west line, looks to be a failure. The J. O. Mc
Kce well will be drilled down to the fifth sand.
Coraopolis Gilmore fc Co.'s No. 2 Logan is
good for 150 barrels a day, while their No. 1,
same farm, is making's barrels in 24 hours. Mel
Ion's Kerr No. 2 is about through the sand and
the indications to-night are not flattering for a
producer. Coraopolis is beginning to assume
the aspects of an oil town. The streets are
about three feet deep with mud and it is al
most impossible to get hauling done. The
Southwest Pipe Line Company expects to hare
their new station in running order next week.
Montour Montour has nothing of import
ance and the probabilities are that her story
has been told. Sill, Dell fc Co. got a 50-barrel
well at their No. 2, Magin's. Gailey & Co. are
nearly through the sand at their Byrnes No. 1,
and have no show of oil. They will go on down
for gas. Fisher & Co. have a rig nearly com
pleted on tbeSchuller.
The Duquesne Gas Company's well, on the
Thompson farm, north of the Schwetter devel
opments and a halt mile south of the Perrys
ville road, which tbey purchased a month ago
for 515,000, has played out and is not now pro
ducing enough gas to run a cook stove.

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCH.l
Cincinnati, November 17. It is not
longer possible to conceal the fact that
Panline Hall, the comic opera star, is at
outs with her managers, Mayer & Stern.
Her engagement in this city brought matters
nearer to a climax than they had been at any
time since the disagreement first became
known. A week ago Harry "Vaughn, the
theatrical agent, arrived here from New
York armed with letters of introduc
tion to Miss Hall and the local managers,
stating that he wonld act as the official rep
resentative of Mayer & Stern during the
remainder of Miss Hall's tour. Miss Hall,
however, stontly refused to recognize Mr.
Vaughn in any way. "1 am no longer un
der the management of Marcus Mayer and
Ben Stern," she declared. "They did not
direct my affairs as I wished and I dis
charged them, as I had a perfect right to do
by my contract. I am my own manager
now."
WATCHING BOX OFFICE SALES.
Vaugh remained aronnd tha theater all
the week, awaiting instructions from Mayer
& Stern, both of whom are with the Agnes
Huntington company. It was declared by
Vaughn that Mayer & Stern have an
ironclad contract with Miss Hall; that
there had been no violation of its provisions,
and that they are acting in accordance
with the advice ot tneir counsel, uowe x
Hummel. Vaughn's chief object seemed
to be to gain an accurate record of the box
ofiice sales, from which fact it is inferred
that Mayer & Stern's contract gives them
a certain percentage of the receipts.
It is learned here that the trouble began
three or lour weeks ago, and that Miss Hall
and Stern had very harsh words early in
the tonr. Tne success, social and artistic,
of Agnes Huntington, who is also under
the Mayer & Stern management, is said
bv Stern's friends to have aroused Miss
Hall's jealousy. One of the company,
friendly to Mayer, said to-day:
Miss Hall is a very hard star to handle. She
refused to sing "Ermiuie" when billed in it by
Stern, preferring to cling to "Amorita," In
spito of the decrease in the size of her
audiences. She covets newspaper notoriety,
besides, and the extensive press notices volun
tarily awarded to Agnes Auntington have had
a very irritating effect upon Miss Hall, who
has openly charged that Mayer & Stern have
been neglecting her interests to forward Agnes
Huntington's.
A SENSATION MAT ENSUE.
The stage manager, J. S. Greensfelder, was
released by Mayer fc Stern early in the tour,
but Miss Hall insisted upon retaining him, even
after mother actor had come on from New
York fttmil his place. Since then Miss Hall
has been guided largely by Greensfelder's
advice and he is naturally inimical to
Mayer A Stern. After the New Yorkengage
ment things were so unpleasant that Stern, who
had been our manager, refused to continue
with us any longer and joined the Huntington
troupe. That is why Vaughn came on to Cin
cinnati. There will undoubtedly be a suit, and it may
be a sensational one, too, especially if the law
yers ask embarrassing questions as to the
financial backing of the company.
COMBING THE PRESIDENT.
A WASHINGTON CLERK IMAGINES HE IS
A MILLIONAIRE,
And, After Getting Gloriously Drnnk, Poors
Out Uie Vials of His Wrath on President
Harrison A Sensational Scene at Wash
ington. tFROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.!
"Washington, November 17. A week
ago A. P. Cunningham, an employe in the
Document Boom of the Senate, professed to
have received word by a special envoy
from Australia that he bad fallen heir by the
death of an uncle to property in Australia
valued at 51,500,000. Whether this was true
or not, be ceased work and began to cele
brate. He has been somewhat conspicuous
here as one who has been kept in position
on accoun of his relationship to Mrs. Gen
eral Logan, and also as the person who was
arrested just after the election of Harrison
for firing a victorious cannon in the White
House lot under the windows of the room
which were then occupied by President
Cleveland.
Cunningham imagines he has not had his
dues in the distribution of political spoils,
and is not for Harrison and Morton
in 1892. Just after he became a mil
lionaire, Cunningham went to the "White
House in a very courageous condition; in
voked the shades of General Logan as an
ideal Bepublican, and gave President Har
rison snch a buz as that gentleman has not
had to his face since he became hedged
about with the dignity of President.
Not content with that, he made bis way
past doorkeepers and messengers again to
day and almost scared Mr. Harrison into
a belief that the fake published the other
day about a conspiracy to assassinate him
was to become a disagreeable fact. Cun
ningham called the President a traitor to
his party, a miserable political nonentity,
hanging to the coat tails of his grandfather;"
white-livered , and many other terms
which be thought were justifiable as com
ing from a member of the great family of
Logans, whose Republicanism none could
dispute.
Somehow the employes surrounding Mr.
Harrison gave the millionaire time to ex
haust his stock of epithets before they got
him arrested, and though he languishes to
night in the Twelfth street calaboose,
with none to bail him out, he lies in his
bunk laughing to himself at the successful
manner in which he combed down the Presi
dent of the United States. It is thought
that Mr. Cunningham's millions are the
product of his imagination, and that he is in
:i fair way to go to St. Elizabeth if he does
nut join the Prohibition party.

A YOUNG WIFE'S STORY.
SHE MARRIEJI THE FORMER SCHOOL
TEACHER OF HER MOTHER,
Who is Sent to Prison for Stealing Two
Coats He 'Claims to Have Committed
the Theft to Save His Wife From Starva
tion. rSFZCIAL TELIORAM TO TIIX DISPATCH. 1
Syracuse, November 17. The Bev.
Father Grimes was called to police head
quarters to-day to listen to trie story of a
young woman, claiming to be the wife of a
prisoner who has given the police of the city
no little trouble. The man called himself
by several names, bnt not until the woman
confessed did his right one come out. The
charge against him was the theft of two
coats. He wan plainly no ordinary man,
for he spoke German, French and Italian
and was fluent in conversation upon every
topic. While under arrest be also proved
himself a doctor by prescribing for a fellow
prisoner. It was evident that he had stolen
the coats in sheer desperation.
The woman, who says she is married to the
man, was Alvoretta Kinney, of Saccarappa,
near Portland, Me. She said her husband's
name is Thomas Alpbonso Berryman, and
that he taught a school which her mother
attended when she was a girl. About two
months ago Berryman visited Saccarappa
and called on her family. He invited her
to take a ride 1o Portland, and on the way
he proposed marriage. He was a Protestant
and she a Catholic. Berryman said that he
would get a dispensation from the Catholic
bishop, and then he took her to a justice of
the peace and they were married. Her
father was so euraged that he threatened to
shoot Berryman if he ever met him, and so
Berryman and his bride went to 'Boston.
After a day or two, he sent her to her
parent's home, but soon wrote, begging her
to come on again. She refused to go and he
went to Saccarappa after her. They re
turned to Boston and then went to New
York, Newton, Scranton, Binghamton and
Cortland. They were at Cortland last
Wednesday, and on that occasion, as he
had several times done, he advised his wife
to return home and threw her things out of
his satchel. On Thursday they came to
Syracuse, where he was arrested Friday.
"Berryman said he stole the coats to save
his wife from starvation, but it is apparent
that he is a scapegrace whose crimes are not
few. He was to-day sent to Onondaga
county penitentiary for one year.
TBIED TO BREAK JAIL.
Only One Hinge Left on the Cell Door When
the Effort Was Discovered;
rsrrciAL tilxokamto tub dispatch.i
Washington, Pa., November 17. Last
night, for the second time within a week,
an attempt was made to break jail here.
An officer made the discovery that
the rivets had been cut off
the door of the new cage in which the men
had been placed after their first attempt
Only one rivet stood between tbem and the
outer door, which was unlocked at the time.
How they intended to get out of the other
doors, which are always locked after night,
is not known.
THE BUBLINGT0N SHOWS FIGHT.
It Will Send Business Over the Denver and
Bio Grande.
CniCAGO, November 17. The Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Bailroad, being left
alone in its refusal to accede to the demand
of the Union Pacific for an increased per
centage on overland business, is preparing
to make the best fight it can.
Its officers say that formerly it carried
more of this business than any other line
running west of Chicago, but that much of
it was lost through delays after delivery to
the Union Pacific. It is arranging for the
carrying of its coast business over the Den
ver and Bio Grande.

local causes for the liquidation
that has taken place in railway securities is
the utter disregard which the managers of
the Western roads have shown for the rights
of the security holders. They have done so
by permitting the control of the income of
the several properties to drift into the hands
of an army of irresponsible and unscrupu
lous freight agents and canvassers, who
practically tarn the facilities of the rail
roads over to shippers at their own prices.
GUARANTEE FUND SAFE.
Over Ten million Pounds Sterling Raised for
Baring Bros. In London.
IBT DUSLAP'S CABLE COMPAHT.
London, November 17. The feeling in
the city has been one of helpless uncertainty,
and the largest financiers reply blankly to
questions that "nothing is now certain."
To-day the amount of the guarantee found
by the various banks to be necessary to as
sist Baring Brothers has been raised to over
10,000,000. The intention now is to guar
antee the whole 15,000,000 of acceptances,
and it is believed that there will be no diffi
culty in doing so. This will put the posi
tion of the firm beyond all donbt, and can
not fail to restore confidence.
It is as well that the crisii came to a head
now, as there was an intention to undertake
still further issues for South America, which
would have made the lock-up still greater.
Tbe'attitude of the stock mareet is one or
waiting, and operators want to know what
Paris and New York are going to do. The
American market has dropped so much
already that it may not go down mnch
lower, but the foreign market has been well
sustained all through the trouble, Paris
having been a persistent buyer. If that city
should change her attitude, no one can pos
sibly anticipate what may tollow.
