Tlere is not a baseball patron in Pitts
burg worthy the name who does not know,
or who has not heard of George W. Burn
ham. Geor.ce was the man who came tb this
city not very lonjj ago and bluffed the Na
tional League into giving Indianapolis a
franchise and shutting Kansas City ont.
George had ?3,000 and K. C. people $20,000.
liurnham was in it then and subsequently
came to Pittsburg as manager of the Hoos
icrs. He always was a man the like of
whom one does not meet every d.iy. But he
always knows a baseball pointer or two.
He was in the city yesterday, located at
the Hotel Duquesue. He is now represent
ing the Missouri Car and Foundry Company,
aud lie was aceornnanied by a gentleman
named Floyd, who was too bashful to say what
he was engaged in.
Jlr. liurnham made a very significant state
ment regarding baseball affjirs. His home is
In Indianapolis and lie talked as follows about
Jlr. Bruvh and the latter"s prans: "Mr. Brusn
icasbrcutl man andii) my opinion he has a
sthenic on hand that mil foil many people. He
isirai for the -tuff andhe has two iramhises.
Ixitli National League. He has one for Indian
npiilisand another for Cincinnati. Well do you
know that ho will play both thec for money,
lie knon& that Cincinnati is an Association or
f-undav ball town and he is relying on making
a deal there at the last moment. He is also fig
iirng on hawng a National League team in
Indianapnl is. because preparations in tho war
f urounds etc, are already gmnc on. We
have toino enthusiasts or cranks in Indian
apolis, and in) friend Eru-h will say to them:
'Why. now I have a League franchise which we
can keep if we can raise ibout $10,000.' They
will, as u-uaL raise auout $C.O0O or J7.000, and
that will suit him and aav the deal goes. He
will do ilns after l.e ha- effected the Cincinnati
deal. But bear in mind the fact that he will
try and make a deal mth the Association peo
ple. I know Mi lirnsli. As a result. I predict
that there will b- a League club in Indian
apolis and an Association club in Cincinnati."
The above information gees for what it is
worth, but it i tact that Mr. liurnham was
very positive in his statements and ho has a
wide experience. Oniy one man can absolutely
prove him t be wrong, and that is Mr. Brush,
if Indianapolis. It Mr. Brush has the inten
tions ascribed to him by Mr. Barnham, then he
is neither a friend of the League. Association
orany other baseball organization. It is to be
iiopcd. however, that there is a misunderstand
ing somewhere.
CLEVELAND LEAGUE CLTJB.
"o Action Taken Toward Securing a Team
for Nert Season.
Clevelanu. Dec. 3. The annual meeting of
the Cleveland League baseball club was held
in Treasurer Howe's office to-day. The most

surer, and Davis Haw ley Secretary. Last
teasun's Board of Directors" was re-elected.
No action was taken to secure a team for
next season, as it has been decided by the
League people not to en-race any players until
after the baseball war shall have been definite
ly settled in all the cities comprising the
circuit.

EEGAEDING PACES DALLAS.
Mr. 3IcCoriulck !-a& a Few "Words About
the t.rcat Horse.
During a conversation yesterday afternoon
Mr. McCormick. tho good-natured owner of
Dallas, tbe famous Pittsburg pacer, said:
"Certainly, my horse Dallas will go in the free-for-all
contests next y ear. I don't believe much
in exhibition contests; besides, they arc becom
ing pro3tles to race track-. becauo there are
loo nianv gocd horses. The uublic do not want
them, because there is more reliance and inter
est in a race in which several horses are en
gaged. I think I have a great horse, and ho
will be entered in any free-for-all next year that
is attractive enough. I was always willing to
put him into a race with Johnston, and I will be
wilbngnext year. Here is a free-for-all pacing
list that would make a grevt attraction: Hal
Pointer, B. B., Dalla-. Adonis and Cricket. Of
com se. othcrB might Mart. But who could
limine the winner thercT'
1 lme no fault to find with Dallas1 old
driver. Charlev Predmore. and I tliiriK he will
be behind Dallas next year. Predmore has
done more than I expected. He bad a strange
tempered, though kind, horse to handle. But 1
must say that lam thoroughly sati-fied with
Mr. Predraore's efforts and results. Of course,
he has enemies, hut I am a business man, and I
only hope that I'll have nothing worse to deal
ith than Charley Predmore'sdnvingof Dallas.
Certainly, Charley pleases me. and I guess I
lave a say so in it."
The Duqucsnc Kennel Club.
Ad important meeting of the Duquesne
'.cnnel Club is to be held at tbe Hotel Du
.jesne to-morrow evening. The following
notice to each member of tbe Executive Board
explains everything: The Executive Com

DIECUSSatG THE BINGE2S.
The Board of Appeals Have a Few Interest
ing Cases Itefore Them.
Chicago. Dec 3. The Board of Appeals of
the National Trotting Association met again
this morning. The Qrst protest considered was
that against Benjamin C Stanley and Samuel
Hcwey, of the Minnesota Association of Trot
ting aud Pacific Horse Breeders. These gen
tlemen are charged with violating rule 25 of
tho association, which reads as follows:
"As many horses may bo entered by one
partv, or as many horses trained In the same
stay? as desired, but only one that has been
owned or controlled wholly or partlvbythe
same person or person, or trained in the same
stable within ten davs preceding the race, can
start in any race of heats."
It was charged by Mr. Steiner, Secretary ot
the Association, tint these men bad started
more than one horse at Ilambllne and at
Rochester, Mtun. The delcu-e claimed that
control of the horses objected to was given up
20 davs beforo ihe races. The rase went over
for consideration in executive session.
The case against Harenbarg and Crockett,
owners of the black horse Star Edsall, is for
entering htm in a rare at Ellcnsburg and
Shenandoah, la., out of his class. The horse is
said to be over 2 j ears old and was entered in
the 2-year-old class. The case was continued
for further evidence. Dr. F. M. Clark, of Chi
cago, appeared before tbe Board in an en
deavor to secure action in a ca-e wherein he was
suspended for non-pavment of entry fees. He
claims that he was victimized by a former driver
whom he had discharged, anil that the driver
had fraudulently entered his horse at Jcrsey
ille and at Terre Haute, and because he did
not pay these entry fees he was suspended.
The case was pas-ed to give Dr. Clark time to
draw cp an application to have the matter
again brought before the Appeal Board.
The closing event of the day was the dis
closure that I. B. Goldberg, of Oshkosh, Wis.,
by a seerriusly overwhelming preponderance
of evidence, bad been entity of violating the
rules governing the fraudulent entry of horses.
Goldberg is a well-known Wlsconsiu horseman
residing in Osbkosb. It was apparently shown
conclusively that uuder tbe alia of "Black
Frank" he had sprung a ringer" named Dick
Organ on the as-oeiation tracks at the fairs in
Sturgeon Bay, Ishpemlng, Menominee, Mad
ison. Green Bay and other Northern points.
Goldberg's own letters produced before the
board, and his refusal to ansu er questions when
placed on the w itucss stand, produced a painful
impression.
It was shown that Black Frank had won a
majority of the races of the season, and must
have netted Goldberg quite a sum. Goldberg's
letters showed that he had returned the horse
to T. J. Middough, of Patterson, Pa., after
completing the circuit. Judgment will be ren
dered in executive session. The usual penalty
in such cases is expulsion.
HABDLT IK F0EH.
Pittsburg's Billiard Player Falls a Little
Short at Philadelphia.
:ppecial tzxeguau to the dispatch.1
Philadelphia, Dec 3. One of the pretti
est exhibitions of billiards ever seen in this
city came in the afternoon game of the tourna
ment. The champion. McLangblin. was pitted
against Rhoads, aud played 400 to his 213.
Khoads won the bank and opened the game
with 1, while McLaughlin piled up 6. Both
played unevenly until the 13th inning, when
McLaughlin beau to roll up tbe points at a
rapid pa:e. In trnc attempt he got together CO,
and followed this up w itli 37. 24, 28, 23 and 16.
Thi, with some more good playing, soon ran
out his string, while Rhoads had only S3 to bis
credit. McLaughlin's nursiog and masse
shooting was brilliant, but both were exceeded
by his round-the-tahle shots, which were mar
vels of accuracy. The full score is as follows:

Tiie hall was crowded again in the evening to
see Dodds, of Pittsbarg, play Campbell, of this
city. Campbell was couceded S3 points handi
cap m 300. He did not need them, however, for
by good steady playing he got together his 215
while Dodds obtained hut 151. The visitor
seemed to be handicapped by the new table,
and this, together with'some awful hard luck,
helped in his signal defeat. The score is as
follows:

New-YoitK. Dec 3. Tbe Board of Review
of tbe National Trotting Horse Association
resumed its session this morning at the Murray
Hill Hotel. The case of T. J. Midaugh. of Pat
terson. Penn., was considered. Midaugh
bought from a man by the name of Doty, of
Minneapolis, tbe bay irnrc Lady Copoul, and
under the name of Lady Upton she was entered

that at the time he was ignorant of tbe fact
and confesses his guilt, and offers to refund the
mouey won as well as to pay all expenses
incurred by the association. Decision was
reserved in this cisp as in all others.
A. J. Libbv. of Gardner, Me., who was ex

TIIE ELECTIONS Bllih TO BE PDSHED
lmOK X STAFF COBT.ESPONDEST.J
Washington, Dec. 3. The Ordinance
Bureau of the navy is still continuing ex
periments with emmensite, the new high ex
plosive invented by Dr. Stephen H. Em
mens, and thus far the most satisfactory re
sults have been obtained. A large number
of projectiles loaded with it have been suc
cesslully fired from powder puns without ac
cident of any kind. It has been prdven to
be insensitive to frictio.n and impact and
only locally ignited by flame. Itisnnaf-.
fected by large- changes in temperature and
is not injured by freezing and thawing. It
looses very little strength even after being
repeatedly saturated with water and dried.
A Xew Gun Under Way.
As a result of the experiments thus far
tried, a special gun is now being bnilt at the
Washington ordinance factory, designed to
throw projectiles containing 100 pounds ol
the explbsive. The gun is made of steel,
and will differ from the ordinary service
gun in being shorter. It will be rather a
long rifled mortar. The dimensions are such
as to.avoid undue heating ol the projectile
in the gun, which might canse premature
explosion -of the- bursting charge, and
yet long enough to give a much greater
range, a flatter trajectory and" consequent
greater accuracy than is possible with the
ordinary type of rifled mortar.
As soon "as this special gun is completed
it will be taken to the ordnance proving
ground down the Potomac riVei, and a
series of experiments will be made to deter
mine tbe Capabilities of emmensite. It it
will do all that previous tests seem to indi
cate, it is believed that the navy will be
furnished with a new offensive agency of
tremendous power. It will tar surpass in
efficiency tiie pneumatic gun-cotton guns of
the Vesuvius, for they cau only be aimed
by turning the vessel, as tbey are bnilt into
her hull, and, as their elevation cannot be
changed, the range can only be varied by
varying the air pressure in the gun. The
new gun can be handled as easily as the or
dinary service gun, and can be aimed with
as lunch accuracy.
Designed for Close Fighting.
Just what place these new gnus will
occupy ih the armament of vessels
wilibe determined when the experiments
at the proving ground have been
made. It is probable that they will
be mounted, at least, upon all vessels
designed to tight at close quarters, such as
tbe Ammen ram, and perhaps the torpedo
cruisers. On such vessels the new gun will
doubtless prove a most effective weapon, for
the explosion of 100 pounds of emmensite
on the deck of a vessel would do a tremend
ous amount of damage, and it is possible
that the lorce of such an explosion, even
against a heavy armor plating, might do
considerable harm.
Dr. Stephen H. Emmens, the inventor of
the 'new high explosive, passed through
Washington to-day on his w.iy to the Mary
land copper district, where he is going to
look at the output of the mines, with tbe
view to purchasing ore for use at bis reduc
ing works, at Emtnens, Pa, If be finds it is
produced in sufficient quautities he will
make a thorough inspection of the entire re
gion. TO RUSH IT THROUGH.
THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS BILL MAY BE
PASSED BY CHRISTMAS.
Outline of a Trobable rrograinme to be Pur
sued by tho Republican Senators on tho
Ileasure DeinocratsatSea SenatorTor
pie Speaks Against tho 15111.
tritoM a STArr coREEsroxDisY.i
Washington, Dec 3. The Democrats
of the Senate are at a loss lo know what
course to take with regard to the Federal
elections bill, because the Republicans will
not show their hand. The unanimity and
equinimity of the Republicans is alarming
to them, in view of the lack of these qual
ities in support of the bill last session, and
they cannot avoid thinking that some new
understanding has been reached and some
new plan held in view for accomplishing
the passage of the bill. Tbe fact that some
of the free coinage men were the only oppo
nents of the bill last session, and that these
have qnietly dropped into line this session,
gives color to the assertion that it is under
stood that the President and leading East
ern Senators will interpose no obstruction
to the passage of the free coinage bill, pro
vided the party sticks together on the Fed
eral elections bill.
This assumption, however, is gratuitous.
There is no question that the Republicms
are proceeding with a confidence indicative
of a clear understanding as to the course
that will be pursued, and it is a pretty gen
eral conviction that this course will not be
dilatory, timid nor hesitating. One of the
Senators who should be best informed of
what is going on. said to tbe correspondent of
The Dispatch this evening:
I think the Democrats and tbe country will
be surprised at the manner in which tho elec
tions bill will be put through. It will be no
tariff bill debate, dragging along until the end
of the session. How would this do for 'a pro
gramme? It is three full eeksto Christina".
The elecion bill can bo discussed every dav. It
should he cxbinsted by that time. Three
weeks, is enough time for auy question.
Hoynnd that, speechmaklng will be
simply for delay. Suppose that at tbe end of
tbree'weeks, with some such able and willing
gentleman as Ingalls in tbo chair, a Senator
moves that debate close aud a vote be taken
at such an hour. Of course the Democrats
will attempt to llllibusteragainstthe adoption
of this motion, but the chair can ignoie inter
ruption, put tbe motion, and, if it receives
tbe majority of the votes, declare it adopted.
Tbo Democrats may run away, but the Repub
licans can muster u quorum. I merely say,
suppose this should be done. I don't say it
will be. I will say. however, that I do not
think there will be any formal change of the
rules.
Mr. Turpie took the floor this afternoon
in the Senate in opposition to the Fed
eral . elections bill. In bis speech be
claimed that the supremacy of the white
race was not peculiar to any portion of the
United States. South Carolina was not more
completely under its sway than was Penn
sylvania. Its supremacy was not one whit
more firmly established in Texas and
Arkansas than in Illinois and Ohio. He
said tbe purpose of the bill was not to main
tain the will of tbe majority, but to over
throw it on tbe single issue of race.
AN rnDTJBTRIOUS RASCAL.
Senator Carlisle's Najne Being Utilized by a
lJogus Carlisle, Jr.
rFltOM A 6TAFP COnBESPOSDEJTT.l
Washington, Dec. 3. Senator Carlisle
is very much annoyed just now because of
the proceedings of some one who is repre
senting himself to be a son of the Senator,
and who bears the self-applied name of
John G. Carlisle, Jr. -This individual is
not content with the social status which the
cognomen would gie him, but lie is work
ing it for financial results. He i now in
the City of Mexico, and tbe Senator was
made aware ot this fact. by the .appearance
of two drafts, one fir flOO, the other for
8200, both of which were cashed for the
rascal. A bank took one of them and Gen
eral Frisbie the other, and now the holders
haveforwaided them to the surprised. Sen
ator for final liquidation.
"There is but one John G. Carlisle, Jr.,"

QUITE A DIFFERENCE
Between the Tax Value and the Selling
Valuo of Some Iteil Estate A Scheme
to Help out the .Assessors Only an In
stance. Messrs. Siebert, Rowley and Murray, of
the County Commissioners' office, are en
gaged on a work that will commend itself
to the approbation of all lovers of fair deal
ing. It is a compilation of all the sales re
ported in city and. county, and will be
furnished to the assessors of each district, to
guide them in making assessments, and be cor
rective of tbe gross abuses that characterized
tbe last triennial valuation. '
There ii one little borough across tbe Yongh
from AlcKcesport whure the people pay a fair
amount of taxation, their property being
valued well up to what, it would sell for, while,
as if to show up inequality in the grossest
shape, property in MeKeesport is valued
ridiculously low. Iris said that the valuation
is probably'one-sixth of the price owners would
be willing to take for it, and tbe public
spirited portion of the town is ashamed of the
showing the big borough makes.
It is said on what ought to be good
authority, and on authority that will
not likely be disputed, that at least 31.
C00.UQ0 worth of property in Stone township
escapes taxation entirely, and it is the rule
rather than tbe exception that lots in some
small boroughs are valued at S7j to 100 by the
assessors, and at J3C0 to $600 by the owners
when tbey are asked to sell. It may
astonish some pecple who know at what
price tbe City Poor Farm was sold,
to know that equally as good farm land in
sight of the Home is taxed at JoO an acre, but
such is said to be the case. It is not contended
that these farms are worth as mncb as tbe City
Farm per acre, but there isn't by many degrees
the difference between tbe assessor's figures
and those of Black fc Baird.
It ran be shown that in some places on soils
of equal fertility one farm will be assessed
from 20 to 50 per cent blgber per acre, buildings
excluded, than another lying nearer a railway
staticn. Such pig-headedness asjthis requires
no comment.
A weak-headed Assessor and a quarrelsome,
domineering, purse-proud taxable sometimes
effect queer combinations, some of which
might be specified and names given. For in
stance, there is a man who owns 10 acres of
land in a certain locality, but it is returned by
tho assessor at 12 acres. One who knows better
said to the assessor: "You know that has
40 acres there."
"Yer, I know he has, but he insists that he
has but 12. and I don't know that I have auy
authority to hire a surveyor to measure It."

JOEIICELTS STORY.
How Ho Originated tlie Plan to Leave
Somerset Jail
CUTTING THE WAY OUT OF PRISON.
His Painful Journey to Berkley's Barn,
Whero He Was Caught.
AFEAID OP THE SEAHCHIXG FAKTIES
ISrECIAI. TELSOCAII JO IHI DISPATCn.l
Somerset, Dec. 3. Through the cour
tesy of Deputy Sheriff Milton McMillan,
The Dispatch correspondent was granted
an interview withJoe Nicely to-night. He
said in relation to their famous escape:
"When we were brought here from tho In
diana connty jail we scrutinized closely the
new jail ia which wo were placed. We did not
then anticipate making any attempt to escape
from it, but were hopeful of a favorable report
from the Board of Pardons. "When disap
pointed in this, we turned our attention to
ward a means of escape. We closely watched
tbe movements of those in whose charge we
were, particularly tbe daily routine of tbe
deputy who served us with our meals.
We had concluded that when the Pardon
Board had refused to interfere tbe only way to
save our lives was to break jail, and if pos
sible make good our escape, and with this In
view there was nothing too small to escape our
attention. Our plan was well conceived, but,
as yon all know, poorly executed. Humbeson
and Keyser were in tbe secret and aided us in
every minute detail: in fact, they were both as
anxious to gain their liberty as wo were.
Joe Conceived the Daring Plan.
I first conceived tbe idea of gaining access to
the attic of tbe building and boring a hole
tbrongh the wall at the point where it was
made,and with tbe aid of Humbeson and JCeyjer
it was carried ont. It was the two men I mention
ho sawed off the staple of the trap door lock
several days before we msde our escapa.
Tho devices on our cells moved in aud ont of
their sockets, and in sawing we raised them
above, and to conceal them, lowered them
below tbe body of the lock. All told, it took
about an hour and a halt to saw through tbe
locks of our cells. The locks were of soft
steel, and tbe saws we used were made for tbe
purpose, and clven us by a kindly fellow
prisoner in the Indiana county jail, and we had
brought them with us. We had not been sup
plied with pistols or any other deadly weapon
since our return, and we were unarmed when
we broke jail.
How the Convicts Left the Frlson.
It was (i:15 p. m. when we made our escape.
I was the first to go out through tne hole. I
slid down tbe rope about eight to ten feet,
when tbe rope broke, and I fell to tbe ground,
alighting with most of my weight on the right
foot, and dislocating ray ankle. It at once be
came very painful, but by a sudden jerk I pull
ed the ankle joint into place. This relieved me
slightly and allowed me to walk, but with great
Cain. I was followed through tho bole by my
rother Dave, who slid down tho rope to where
it was broken, and from there fell to tbe
ground, and, as 1 am inforraedsince my return,
shattered bis right leg above the ankle, bis
injuries being somewhat similar to mine, only
worse.
Save was followed by Humbeson, and then
came Kevser. both of whom escaped unhurt.
Alex Queen then came, and in his fall Droke
his good leg in two places above the Knee, and
was so badly injured internally the doctors say
he will die. I remained with Dave about five
minutes, and then assisted him to tbe rear of
the jail stable, when, at, his own request, I left
him to take care of himself. I do not know
the course taken by Humbeson and Keyser.
As was preconcerted. Keyser was to accom
pany me, and Humbeson was to go with Dave,
but the injuries sustained by both of us pre
vented our carrying out that portion of the
program.
Joe Hides In Barkley's Barn.
I walked through tbe fields to tbe stream
north of town, where I was compelled, through
fatigue and pain, to lie down for over an hour.
I beard a number of persons on horseback and
in buggies pass along the pike and could even
hear them talk. When all was quiet 1 limped
to Barkley's barn, arriving there about 11
o'clock, where I bid under a large quantity of
straw until Tuesday at noon, when I voluntar
ily gave myself up to Mr. Barkley.
He and his wife treated me kindly by giving
me a good meal and cheerfully supplying me
with all the comforts I asked for. I feared vio
lence at the bands of the people, and at my re
quest Mr. Barkley covered me with a heavy
overcoat, dreiv a large slouch bat down over my
face and delivered me within the walls of the
jail before making it known to tbe large crowds
of people that 1 was the man they all were
looking for.
At 8:30 p. m. Sheriff McMillan and posse
arrived with Keyser and placed him in his
old cell. The Sheriff reprimanded him for
assisting others to escape and intimated that
hereaiter he would suffer the close confine
ment that his conduct merited.
TE0UBLE WITH A DITCH.
A Long Job of Digging; Causes Dismay to
Housekeepers.
For some two months past a gentleman
named Gallagher at least that is the name
known in tbe neighborhood has bad a. gang of
men at work attempting to drain the property
in the vicinity of Second avenue and Grant
street. Just what difficulties tbey have en
countered tbo people thereabouts cannot
discover, but tbey are evidently equal to those
encountered by Lie Lesieps on tbe Istbmns of
I'auama. When the excavation was made it
seems that tbe ground wjs of the nature of
quicksind, and the ditch but three or four
icet wide, had te be shored to prevent caving.
Just what the workmen were doing could
never be satisfactorily learned, bnt at the end
of four or five weeks tbe ditch was filled, and
the housekeepers in the neighborhood were
enabled to make two doormats do duty for a
whole day at a time.
Great was tho rejoicing among the disen
thralled housewives when they found tbe pave
ment once more free from mud, but it was
short lived. There was a shower, and a grocery
cellar was filled with water some said it
backed up-to the Court House. The grocer's
property was considerably damaged. A cry
went up. "Let her go, Gallagher," and the
ditch was opened again, and is still open.
It" is said the excavators bad
failed to connect with tho main sewer, bnt the
nature of tbe trouble seems impossible to
fathom accurately.
During all this trouble tbe contractor bad his
arm shattered in a street railway collision, aud
it is supposed that ho hasn't found life worth
living, unless he has arranged with the under
taker for a heavy discount. The ditch is less
than a equate in length.
BTJILDIKG RIQHT ALONG.
Any Amount of Work Yet to be Done in the
City This Winter.
According to statements of architects and
builders, there is a very great amount of build
ing under way at present which will have the
effect to assist business materially in this city
during the winter. While the greater part of
the buildings are under roof, a large number
are not.
One contractor states that be has nine
houses to build and ruut build them, and only
the foundation: are completed. He states that
be expected to have them all under roof ere
this, but the almost constant rain prevented
bricklayinc, which must now bo done, even
though it be necessary to bold umbrellas over
tbe workmen.
