The final legal papers, which make the two Xew York clnbs one, were signed to-day. Time, be tween the hours of 5 and C; place, A. G. SnaldiLg & Bros.' private office. The rays of the eleciiic lights in the City Hall Park had just begun to force themselves through the windows of Mr. Spalding's office as the last jet in Xcw York's basebali drama was performed. The two clubs have really been consolidated for some time, as far as a writ ten agreement with a proviso attached went, lieretoiore auuounccd in The DisrATCn. The conditions of the proviso having been coufoimed with, the lawyers have now per formed their work by bindirg both clubs to gether so that tin re can be no further talk that Ihey are r.ot coui-oildsted. This is the last of the New York Baseball Club (limited) which va incorporated v.ith the intention of making the baseball plajers magnates and relegating the capitalists to a back eat. A GA5IE OF LIMIT. "That club was certainly appropriately named,"' exclaimed the solitary outsider pres ent to-day as he saw the undertaker lay away its cold and lifeless body end nail the spikes In vith one f Spalding's sledge hammers. It has been a game of limit all the way through. The onh thiug that was not limited was the bluff of the plajers ho wanted their salaries whether there were gate receipts or not." Sometime ago Judge Bacon, counsel for the Plajers' League club and Attorney Redding the new counsel for the National League club, were instructeu to go ahead and draw up the final contract with its various stipulations which both Nides wanted. They wjrkcd some time, and Thursday noon Judge Bacon notified hi clients that the neceSb.irv papers were at aticadv. At 3 o'clock Colonel McAlpin, E. B. Talcott and Y. M. Van Cott met at Judge Bacon's office. Frank B. Robinson was not present, as he was in Pittsbuig. He had, however, given Mr. Talcott power of attorney to act for him. The document was rad. and all eipie-ea themselves as perfectly satisfied with its provisions. -yow.'gentlemen, all that is left is for you to sign it." exclaimed Judge Bacon. This was complied with bj the gentlemen, as representa tnesof theXew ork Players' League club. This morning Judge Bacon tent the signed doc ument to Attorne Bedding, who has an office in the Potter building. THEY ALL SIGNED IT. Being extremely busy, he did not present it to his clients for their signatures until late in theafternoui. He took it to J. . Spalding, who immediately notified John B, Day. Mr. Redding went over the document and it was as satisfactory to Jlesrs. Smlding and Day as to the other gentlemen who had already signed it. They also signed it. A meeting of the club's stockholders will be held in the eailv part of next month. The plaxers w ho have held stock in the P. L. club will be present, fcomc plan will then be talked JOTer as to hoiv to deal with them. According to she attorneys, they say that the plajers have no right t.o." Their camul stock has been entirely wiped nut. They have not been as sessed, and Mc.Mpm, Talcott. Robinson and Van Cott hold notes .iiiainstlthe club which, as an incorporated organization, it cannot meet. It is the ilesn c of all to do the square thing by the plajers. but it does not seem at all probable that, after paying them money they were not entitled ti the capitalists will turn around and also nay them for their stock, which is not worth a cent. The slate for officers of the club was an nounced in The Dispatch some time ago. According to one of the leading stockholders to-day that slate still holds good with one change. These will certainly lie the officers: President. John B. Day: Vice President. F. 15. Talrott: Treasurer. J. V. Spalding: Direc tnrs. Colonel McAlpin. F. B. Talcott. F. B. Rohinson, Cornelius Van Cott. John B. Dav, J. tV. fcpaldipg. C. T. Dillingham, and two others yet undecided on. THEY DOWNED THE BOOKIES.

Dndlev and Miss Maggie Thompson in cn-todj-. Tbej" are expert tele graphers, and, in connection with confederates In Washington, are indicted for defrauding various poolrooms and bookmakers, the com uJamant being the Western Union Telegraph Company, whose wires they used in perpetrat ing the fraud. It is alleged that the conspirators sent con federates to certain poolrooms in Washington to bay pools on "short" horses. Then thn pair of telegraph operators lapped the wires, sent the winner to conespond with their bets, cashed their tickets for large sums, and afteV all tms had been doi.e and the conspirators had made good their escape, the real race results were sent to the poolrooms. An investigation was set on font and the conspirators were in dicted in Washington. The two at this end of the line were arrested last night, and to-day Judge Blodgett. of the Federal Court, issued an order that they be taken to Washington for trial. Dudlcv claims to be a nephew of ex-Mayor Carter 11. Harrison, of this city. Concerning the truih of this claim Carter H. Harrison, Jr., says: "The onlj person I can imagine that this Smllcv e m be is my grandmother's stepson. She was living in Keutucky when she married asecenrt time. Her husband was a preacher named Dudley and be 'iad a son who afterward came to Chicago and was, 1 believe, emplojed here as a telegraph operator.

Dec. 19. The directors of the Cleveland Baseball Club are keeping all their rlans carefully to themselves, but enough was learned to-nignt to warrant the prophesy that they are contemplating a club for 1591, made up lik this: First bae.

I am for the great na tional game and my aavice to everyone is to shake hands and make up." Al Jnhn'on maintains that his new League, which will play 25-cent ball and Sunday game. Is a sure thing and that there will be e'ight pay ing cities in the circuit. THE PE0P0SED T0TJEN2Y. Mr. Meyers Will Write the State Experts To Day on the Matter. George Meyers, the billiard agent of this city; intends to write McLaughlin, Burris and Cline. the Eastern billiard players, to-daj to ascertain whether or not they will take part in a State championship billiard tournament in this city. If they will take part In the proposed tournament Mr. Meyers will convene a meeting of all the local billiard room keepers to find out what amount of money they will contribute toward the affair. Mr. Meyers says that he will put up IS00, and If six plaxers enter and put up 50 each that will make $000. All that the local rooms will then be required to pnt up will be J400, wnich will mako 1,000 lor the tournament. Mr. Meyers thinks a tournament will be so success ful that the room keepers will receive their donations back. THINKS DEMPSEY WILL WIN. Champion Jack McAuliQ'e Talks About tlio Great Mlddle-TVelght Battle His Esti mate of X'itzsiminons Plenty of Money for the NonprtrelL. VrrClAI. TKLEOKJLM TO TUS DISPHTCn., New York, Dec 19. Jack McAuliffe, the light-weight cbampion.talked Interestingly this evening to a Dispatch reporter on pugilistic matters of the day, and more particularly in regard to the Dempsey-Fitzsimmons battle, which will take place In New Orleans next month, and for which both mcn are in hard training, McAuliffe has been giving sparring exhibitions at an eastern district theater with Jimmj-Xelson, the instructor of the Brooklyn Athletic Club. Nelson was a sliopmate of Mc Auliffe's when Jack hammered at barrels in a cooperage on North Third street for his liveli hood. McAuMffe thinks highly of FitzsUn mons, but does not appear to consider that there is anv dancer of his friend Demnsey los ing his title as middle-weight champion. "Fitzsimraons is a verv good man." ho said, "butal1 tuisnewspapertalkabout his wonder lul ability as a fighter Is a gag to affect the bet ting. He has a long reach, is a hard hitter and I believe dead game. I think he will give Dempse.v a pood battle, but I don't imagine the middle-weight champion's friends neeil have any fear about tbo-rcsulr. From letters I have received from Dempsev ho says he has becun training at Galveston, Tex., and will soon be in perfect condition for the fight. He has been taking very good care of himself for the last vear or so. and it won't take him long to be in fit condition to fight all dav. He will weigh about 150 pounds, and I understand Fitz-lm-mons will just scale the limit weight, so that Jack will be under a disadvantage in giving away some pounds. I see that some club men of California are anxious to put up all their money on the Australian. Dempsey's friends In this vicinitv are more than willing to take all thev can against him, but I think a 51.000 bill would shut up the Californians in quick order." McAuliffe' proposed sparring tour will pre vent mm going South to help train the Non pareil. He will, however. He at hand to second him on the night of the battle. McAuliffe, who retired from the ring for the time being after the sudden death of his wife, actress Katie Hart, is willing now to make a match witn any of the light-weights who have been after him. He savs that he will meet Andy Bowen, the New Orleans man. or Billy Myer. the Streator cyclone, but the purse and stake must be a big one one that will pay a man for months of training. It will not take the Williamsbnrgef long to get all right for he is living very quietly and taking plenty ofexercise. KENTUCKY HOBSE NEWS. B. J.TreacyBuys 810,000 Worth or Toung Racers From 3Ir.

Bancroft, known In college athletic circles as "Foxy" Bancroft, will have accepted the position of coach to the Harvard crews for the next three years. The matter of asking Colonel Bancroft to tak-j this position has been under' discussion lor a long time. Harvard graduates realize that "Foxy" Bancroft is the only roan who has coped against Yale's "Bob" Cook with any de gree of success. Last rriuay mere met at tue rarwrnuuMi some 30 Harvard alumni strongly identified with Harvard athletics, and among them were eight ex-captains of Harvard crews. Captain Perkins, of this year's crew, presided. The re sult of the meeting was a communication in dorsed bv the Executive Committee of the Boat Club and sent to the Committee on Ath letics. In the communication itwas stated that it was the sense of the meeting that the crew should have a coach and that if the committee consented to the appointment of Colonel Ban croft for a period of three years the graduates present guaranteed him an annual salary of $3,000 for three years. The Athletic Committee -will act upon the communication Thursda-. A favorable answer is expected. Gibbons and Bowen. Xr-T Yokk, Dec. 19. James Gibbons, the backer of Austin Gibbons, of Paterson, N.

Giboons. said that if Austin could so ar range a match with Andy Bowen he would go to England to fight any man of his weight. Soden Still Obstinate. Boston, Dec 19. President Soden said to night that the Triumvirs had seen no reason to change their settled opinion that no city could accommodate two balls clubs with cither financial or moral success. The dollars that an American Association club might make here or the dollars which the Natibnal League might lose by its rivalry were not of half as much importance as the dollars which would fall between the two and which nobody would get. Mr. Soden denies the current rumor that he bad been offered his pick of the Boston Brotherhood players in exchange for the Asso. ciation franchise. No proposition of any sort has. he says, been made by Prince or his com rades. McCoy Wants a Fight. Jimmy McCoy, the local pugilist, is on deck again. He called at this office yesterday, and wanted to know why nobody will put up a purse for him to fight any local man to a finish. He states that he has no monev, but that he will fight Fred Wise toafipishlf anybody will put up a reasonable purse He also wants to fight Jack Hayes. Sporting Notes. Pat Towers has not signed for next season. Shakaox will go to some minor League next season. George GOKE says nobody can transfer him to Washtiizton as ions as there is a chance to play in Sew Yerk.

Crackers Fresh From the Oven Are the Only Kind to Eat. Did you ever think what a difference there is in crackers? A stale cracker is just as much 01 an abomination as stale bread. Pittsburg people are great lovers of crackers, principally because they can get the best that aie made in the country fresTi from the ovens every day. Pittsburg is one of the greatest cracker baking towns in the world. The mammoth Marvin establishment alone turns out almost enough to keep the entire popula tion oi half a dozen States eating 24 hours a day And there is this about the Marvin goods, they can always be relied upon as being thoroughly pure and fresh. The great ovens are going constantly, and a score or more of wagons are busy from morning till right delivering the crackers to grocers in the two cities. Of course, Pittsburg can consume only a small portion of the product of the factory. The rest is shipped to al most every State in the Union, for the fame of Marvin's crackers is not merely local. Everybody from Maiue to California has heard of them, and everybody who knows a good cracker when he sees it wants to get them. If you don't already use Marvin's crackers, order some from your grocer. If you try them once you will never want any others. Then there's bread. Palace bread. Have you tried it? If you haven't, you ought to. It's just about the finest thing in this line in the market. Marvin's breads are baked fresh every day. An army of wagons de livers them to the city trade and express trains carry them to towns within reach all over the western part of the State. Ask your grocers for Marvin's Palace bread and see if it isn't just about the nice est thing you ever tasted. Tussu 20.000 Christmas Turkeys.

CAUSE OF THE WRECK Opinions Differ on the Responsibility for the Disaster. ADDITIONS TO THE DEATH LIST. Damaging Evidence Against the Prisoner in Jlarlatt's Trial. SDSDUI-KEWS FK01I THREE STATES rsrrciAt. teleouam to tub DispArcnl Massillon,. Dec. 19. All possible addi tional particulars of the disastrous, death dealing wreck on the Wheeling and Lake Erie Bailway at Bolivar were gathered to djy by a drive to the scene. Hundreds of people poured into the village from the sur rounding country, each one carrying away a relic of the unrecognizable car. Since the report sent last night two more deaths have occurred, making the number of fatalities six. The additional deaths were Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Weidman. ot Marietti, O. Of the thousands who have gazed upon the features of the unknown woman, no one has yet been able to establish her identity. She was about 60 years of age, neatly dressed, and wore a plush sack. None of tbo train crew can remember where she got on, but it has been learned tbat her destination was Unionport via llowcrstown. x Upon bis return from .Bolivar at 2 o'clock this af tornoou, the reporter was besiesed on every hand for news of Charley Conrad's con dition. ' Hfs father, ex-Senator Conrad, was in Columbus when the accitlo nt ocenrred, but re turned at 3 o'clock this morning, took a car riage at the depot and ijrore the 12 miles and joined Mrs. Conrad at the bedside of their son. It is possible that be may recover, but the odds are against hnu. It is said that be cannot be removed to bis home for several weeks, at least. He is conscious, but cannot speak' without (treat effort. W. W. Graham, who was formerly paymaster of the Wheeling and Lake Erie, and nov con. trols extensive coal mines on the line of the road, was not seriously injured. Neither was Conductor Ed Laudis. The other wounded are comfortably situated, and it is not probable tbat any more deatbs will occur. The question uppermost at Bolivar and here is that of locating; the responsibility for the disaster. C. A. Wilson, chief engineer of the road, expressed the opinion that the car was derailed for causes unknown. He -ays the wheels left the track at a point where the ties are sound, and tbat the guage showed no indi cation of widening. V. W. Graham, the wounded man. inclines to the theory that it was dne to the high rate of speed, unjustifiable at a curve. A number of disinterested people did not hesitate to declare the wreck was caused by the spreading of the trark due to de fective ties. One man declared tbat he exam ined the ties for a distance' of 50 teet, and found every one bad. A SANE MAN IN'AN. ASYLUM. Damaging Evidence Against the Defendant In the Marian Trial. New Lisbox. Dec 19. S. R. Strong, Super intendent ot the Iniane Asylum at Cleveland, was on the witness stand to-day giving evidence in rebuttal in the Marlalt 'trial He said tbat he bad made a special study of mental mala dies for the past 20 years. He spent some time in describing the various kinds of insanity, af ter which ho came down to Jlarlatt's case. Ho stated tbat after a two hours' conversation and examination of tbe prisoner, and a careful ob servation ot bis actions for two aays in the court room, he was prepared to say that Mar ian was perfectly sound in mind and body. From bis examination of the defendant he does not consider him an epileptic. Judging from the present condition of his mind, the medical ccntleraan said Marlatt has not expei lenced an insane frenzy within the past year. The doctor does not believe in emotional insan ity. He was on tbe stand all dav. and his testi mony was very strong against the prisoner. A WOMAN BUBNED TO A CBISP.
