If rECIAL TEL CGBAH TO THE DISrATCB.l Xew York, Jan. 16. Peace 'has at length been declared. There will be no more Split in the baseball world. Nearly everything has been settled, with the Ameri can Association on top. It was just 6:45 o'clock to-night when J. B. Billings, one of the Boston Triumvirs, came out of parlor "1"' of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where the National League has been in session for three days past, and hiroivn intimate friend exclaimed: "It's all over. "We have at last consented 'to allow an American Association club in Boston. The con ditions under which the liostonians screed to a second c!ui are: That 50 ctnts be the admission fee; that the name "Boston" be in no way connected with the name of the Association club; th.it the National League elub'have Decoration Day; that the Asso ciation club have July 4; thit there be no conflicting dates; that when the Association finds that the club cannot play for SO cents that the club be taken out of Boston; that every player of the present Boston V. L. club taken fiom tbe National League club be re turned. Also in Chicago. It is undecided jet which club will have Hunter Hill da. According to the agreement the Association also gets Chicago. During the (lay ths Joint Conference Committee gave out its report, which went over tbe lime since tbe baseball reason closed, showing how tbe effort was made to settle the Mar. The important things in the report were: "As you are aware tbe representatives of the clubs in New York nrd Pittsburg quickly came together and ar ranged for the consolidation of all con flicting interests in their respective cities. Tbe ' riajers' League club ot Chicago was purchased outright. Tbe conflicting intercuts in Hroohln have been to all intents and purposes settled, n basis of agrcemen' having been reached vbicli is satisfactory to a great inaio.ity ot all tbe parties interested. As ihe American Association is desirous of loca ting a club m the city of Boston, and the Play ers' League .clr.b of that city has expressed a desire to accept such membership, the commit tee is of tbe opinion that tbe problem can be solved there if this desire on the part of tbe American Association can be satisfactorily cousu-u .tated. The Committee "Was Unanimous. Th-. Joint Committee are unanimous on this point and so recommend that, to avoid all mis understanding, all clubs accepting fraucbises and membership in associations now acting under and identified with the National agreo ment mast bo amenable to and gov erned by said National agreement, and all plajers now or heretofore under contract or agreement with any club or clubs accepting such franchise or membership shall revert to the dubs liavin:: claim npon tbe ser vices of said plajers under the provisions of such National agreement." This morning tbo Players' League gotenougb wind in its sails to meet. The following dele gates were resent: Boston, C. F. Prince and A. A. lrwin;Chicaco. James A Hart; Brook lyn, E. F. Linton General Woitn ana John WaTd:-Clcieland,-A. L Johnson; Cincinnati. A. L. Johnson; Philadelphia. J. Karle Wagner; New Yoik, Frank Robinson. Nothing was done beyond aopomting a committee to talk matters over and form a plan of action. The committee consisted of Johnson. Wagner, Prince and AVaid. Wendell Goodwin sen; a protest to alloniug Linton to act as a delegate. Ihe committee met and adjourned without doing anj thing. Will Dissolve the P. L. Secretary Brunei), in the course of a conver sation, remarked- "I think the Players' League will be dissolved. Baseball affairs are still in a had mess. I think Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago will be represented in the American Association. Al Johnson will be recompensed in some nay with the Cincinnati club. Pitts burg and New York have already consolidated. Mr. Linton, of Brooklyn, who is holding out merely to be faithful to other clubs, will then consent to a consolidation in Brooklyn, and the nar will end." At 8 o'clock the American Assoc'ation met and accepted the resignations of the Toledo. Rochester and Svtacuse club-. Then applica tions were received from Boston, Washington and" Philadelphiv, and these cities were ad mitted, ice oeiegat. a oi icese cinns were ad the Wagners get the Athletic franchise, and Prince, the President of tbe defunct Plavers' League, is cared for. Al Johnson does not figure-in the deal at all. and there is a good chance for his getting left all around Chicago was not admitted. It is tbe play to have Milwaukee complete the circuit in the West. That city was represented. Sfilwaukcc Still in It. It is quite likely that this matter will be de ferred for a little time before the deal is made. At 8-.30 o'clock the National League received the American Association, and the Western Association, headed by President Krauthoff. . in a joint Jollincation meeting. The new na tional agreement was then read for the first time, and formally signed by tbe Presidents of nil three organizations: The Western Asso ciation has been admitted as a major leagne. A board of three will be established to deal with all important business. All contracts with managers and plajers must be approved by the hoard. This lioard will also act as a Joint Playing Kules Committee, thus effecting a great saving of time and expense. A new feature is ab" presented for the ad-, vancement of plajers by which a club, instead of incurring the expense of carrying substi tutes to be available in case of accident to a regular player, mav supply the vacancy by selecting a player from one of tbe other bodies of a lower classification which has consented to such selection being made. The player must recehe an increased salary and must consent to the change. Indeed, it is provided in tbe broadest terms that no player can ever be trans ferred or undertaken to be, directly or indirect ly, without his lullcst consent. '1 his destroys all criticism upon tbe reserve rule, and foreier ends the existence of what has been called the sales system. In the Itest of Humor. vervbody ".ras in the best humor. Tbe new agreement provides lor a board of three, which shall control the workings of the associations. It destroys the sales sy.-tern and blacklist, hut continues the resene mle in effect. Plaj-ers whose salary is not paid may secure their re lease from the clubs which are in arrears for 15 dajs. Many important changes are made, all looking for tbe elevation of the game and jus tice and harmony as between players, mana gers and capitalists. The three presidents. Young, Tiiunuan and Krautboff signed the agreement on the spot, and it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Byrne offered a resolution thanking Messrs. Tburman and Spalding for bringing about the settlement. Colonel Rogers followed, uaying a splendid tribute to Mr. Thurnian. Mr. Prince, of Bos ton, also lauded Mr. Spalding, and Messrs. Spalding and Thurnian responded in eloquent terms, which evoked rounds of applause. It was a most happy occasion all around, and even the heretofore despondent Plavers' League men drowned their mortification in the general flow of good spirits which followed. The new American Association will hold a supplementary meeting" to-morrow morning. ABOUT ANSOK'S TEAK Mark Baldwin States That Duffy and Ryan Will Be Retained. Mark Baldwin. John Tener, Ed Swartwood and several other ball players and patrons of the game met in Pratt's store yesterday after. noon, when an interesting conversation was started regarding baseball matters. Among other questions discussed was tbe make-up of tbe Chicago League team. On this point Bald win said: "Let me tell yon that both Dnffy and Ryan will be on tbe team, ana so will Pfeffer. Anson will keep tbe two former becanse ha will need them, and if Pfeffer is not on tbe team Anson will bave his equal there. An exchange for McPbee might be made and I think that Mc Phee, everything considered, Is tbe better man. Pfeffer is the better fielder, hut McPhee is the Better hitter." Tener Indorsed the views of Baldwin and stated that be would not be surprised if Will iamson was on the team. Baseball Trouble at Louisville. LouiSYTlXE, Jan. 16. Regarding the fight among the stockholders of toe Louisville club directors, Larry (Jatto said to-night "I do not know what tbe future plans of the directors are they will be determined after Mr. Parsons returns from New York but I can say this much, there is no intention to swindle anybody. A few of us have been carrying a club right along, while these small stockholders who are doing the kicking have never put up a cent. Their stock cost tbem S3 to SlOa share, while mine with the different assessments has cost me $40. I say it is fair that one ot their sbares should le of the same value as one of mine. Now, I want to know why Major Thomas didn't bny the club when he had a chance. Parsons offered to sell It to bim lor $10,000, free nf debt up to January L There are two sides to this affair, and it will come out after tbe ucxt meeting." s a Will Meet in Washington. New York, Jan. 16. President James R, Dunn, of the League of American Wheelmen, has decided to change the meeting place of the organization from this city to Washington. He announces that tbe meeting of the Leagne will be held at Willard's Hotel, in that city, on February IU. This change Is considered-a good one. andi as reduced rates can be obtained on several of the railroads, it is expected that a large unmberof wheelmen will avail themselves of the opportunity of visiting tbe nation's capi tak Tbe riding facilities in Washington canuot be equaled. THEY WON 8300,000. New Orleans Sports Heap a Harvest Over the Victory of Fitzsimmons. New Orleans. Jan. 16. A majority of the sportiug men and others who came here to see the Dcmpsey-Fitzslmmons fight left to-day. Many of them went away rather bine, being heavy losers in the betting. Nearly all the visitors, especially the. Eastern men, backed Dempseyat odds. Some of tbe Californlans. who bad seen Fitzsimmons fight McCarthy, put their money on him, but as a general thing Fitzsimraons" backing came from New Orleans men. who had seen bim spar on several occa sions, thus Jormlng a very.high opinion of his ability as a pugilist. It is estimated that the New Orleans men and others who backed Fitzsimraons took in more than 300,000, and would have got more if they had had mure to bet. There, was plenty more Dcinpsey money, but there were no takers except at odds that would not be given. Many sporting men went to the ring well prepared to bet, but tbe rule against betting in the club room was strictl enforced, and np wagers of anv kind were allowed at tbe side of the ring. After the men stripped tbe odds would have been in favor of Fnzsimmons. All tbe visitors agree that itwas a square defeat, and they do not make excuses for Dempsey. Quite a num ber of bets were made of one to eight and one to ten that Dempsey would be knocked out in 10 or 12 round. There is there fore some disposition to complain that the tight was not declared over in tbo eleventh round. Dempsey was knocked completely out then, and his seconds gave in. J&ckMc Auliffe threw up the towel in token of defeat, but Dempsey staggered into the ring and in sisted on a couple of rounds more. Those who bet that he would be knocked outin 12 round3 lost in conseqnence. Dempsey said to a friend to-day: "I was not in it from thestart." He hopes to pick up and yet be able to retrieve bis defeat Fitzsimmons did not suffer in the least from tbe fight. His w ife and child were waiting for him on the out side iu a carriage. He said that he would have liked to have them in the arena with him couid he bave done so. Ho drove home with tbem, and after freshening up a bit held a small re ception at a restaurant. The only sign ot bis encounter was a light scratch over tbe right eye, WILL STAT 15 HIS CLASS. Fltzsiminons Declines to Meet Any Op ponent Among the Heavy-TVeights. New Orleans, Jan. la It is improbable that Carroll will make a match with McAuliffe now, and one with Billy Myer is suggested in stead, and will be arranged, as McAuliffe will agrco to tbe tight for a good purse. Many of Dempsey's strongest supporters are now en thusiastic oi er Fnzsimmons, and think be will be a marvel in bis class. "He is built heavy-weighs from his hips un and sturdily lightweight down," said one of tbe sports, and that is the general opinion. Now that Fitz has licked tbe greatest man in his class, and seems so overwhelming superior, a match between Corbett, the ban Franciscan, and the winner Wednesday night is suggested. Corbett ligbts at about ISO pounds, and Fitz will be able soon to get in the heavy-weight class if be desires. The matter was broached to Fitzsiminons, but be declired that be had no desire or intention to go out of bis class. He was willing, he said, to fight any good man under 151 pounds, but he did not want to take the chances with a heavier man. Nearly all the pugilists who witnessed the tight bare formed a very high opinion of Fitz simmons' merits. Corbett i binks that he could easily bave knocked out Dempsey m the fifth round, and Kilrain declared mm the fittest man to light he ever saw. DEMPSEY WILL BETIRE. He States He Has Fought His Last Fight and W1U Leave the Ring. rFFEClAt. TEI.XQ11AM TO TUB DISrATCB. J New Orleans. Jan. 16. Jack McAuliffe and Billy Meyer signed a contract to-night to fight within the next two months before any club offering the highest purse. If tbe fight takes placo before the Olympic Club of New Orleans, a side bet nf So. 000 will be made. Jack Dempsey appeared on tbe street to-day but is still very badly bruised and his wounds arc far from healed. He announces publicly lo-day that bo has retired permanently from tbe prize ring and would not engage in another fight. His wife bad for some time desired bim to retire, he said, and he had yielded to her wishes and would retire and devote bimselt to the saloon biisiuess in Portland, Ore. Demp sey will remain here several days. IT IS NO BLUFF. Pat Farrell's Backer Talks About the Former's Challenge to Fitzsimraons. The general theme of conversation among local sporting men yesterday was tbe challenge of Pat Farrell to fight Fitzjimaions. When the challenge was read in' The Dispatch many people thought tbatit had not been made in good faith simply becanse Farrell is a local man and has been leading a very quiet life. Last evening Farrell's backer said: "Certainly tbo challenge is bona fide and we cannot do anything more. Our mouey is ready and we will forward our SI.OOO guarantee to any club in a day's notice. Wo think we have a cood man and 15S pounds ought to bo -a very suitable weight for Fitzsimmons." On a Starring Tour. New Orleans, Jan. 16. A contract was signed to-night between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jimmle Carroll on one band and Parson Davits, of Chicago, on the other, by wbicb Davies un dertakes the management of the pugilists.

It is understood that Fitzsimmons' New Orleans and .San Francisco friends will give hiin a diamond belt on bis return front ISngland. Fitzsiminnns received bis $11,000 from the Oljmpic Club to-day. Tbe money was equally diudeu between bim and Carroll, bis trainer and second, the tne men having gone into part nership in pugilism. Opposed to Boxing. Boston, Jan. 16. The Boston Athletic Asso ciation will not be permitted to hold its boxing tournament in Music Hall because ths City Fathers are afraid of being laughed at. Tbe officials at the City Hall of themselves would gladly grant tbe liceuse.

Tbe California Athletic Club is making great efforts to ar range a match for a good purse between Fitz simmons and Joe Choynski, now in Australia.

THE HAEVABD BUMPtTS. President Eliot Explains Why Bancroft Was Not Engaged to Coach. Cambridge. Jan. 16. The rumpus over the refusal or tbo Harvard Athletic Committee to employ- Colonel Bancroft as coach for the crew has called forth an explanation from President Eliot. In reply to tbe statement that he had in fluenced the committee against engaging Ban croft, be sajs that the committee had complete authority In such matters as the appointment of a coacb, anil he could du nothing except ad vise. Members of tbo committee consulted him, but not in his capacity as tho President of tbe University. He upheld the action of the committee on practically the same grounds that were advanced at tho time, namely, the price asked for three years' training. Ho thought where each year meant but a few hours dally for nino months the price was altogether too high. Tbe price Tor three years was $10,000. just about the same as thst paid the full professors, most of w 1mm receive but $3,500 a year. The college itself would not nave been called" upon to pay this expense, which is regularly raised by sub scriptions and benefit, concerts and surplus receipts from some of theathletic contests, and it is for this reason that tbe action of the Ath letic Committee, and tbe approval of their de cision by President Eliot, have been so gener ally criticised by both undergraduates and alumni. One of the most prominent of the latter, in commenting on the matter, said: "Why, if we can only get a competent coach like Bancroft, who will lead tbe crew to victory, tbe aluirni will come forward to subscribe, not $3,300, but $5,000 or $6,000 a year, if necessary." DOG FIGHTERS FINED. Six Soutlislders Charged With Cruelty to Animals. Agent O'Brien, of the Humane Society, and Constable Laugenbacber, of Alderman Beln haucr's office, have bad a busy time of it ever since Monday hunting up the participants in tho dog fight last Sunday morning at the South side Driving Park. Up to date 25 informations have been filed, and before they are through the officers expect to have a'good many more. Edward Grinder and Nick Lang are said to have been tbe men who owned the dogs, and the endeavor was made to arrest them first, but Grinder left the city. The hearings were set for last night in . Alder man Belnhauer's office. There were probably 100 men crowded in the two rooms comprising the Magistrate's office, most of whom, it is sile to say. attended the fight. The defendants E resent were Audy Mciser. Jonathan Martin, lave Reese, Henry Derr, James Carney. T. Martin and Nicholas Lang. While the hearing was in progress Reese skipped out and tbe po lice were at once notified to 'look out for bim. The others were each fined $10 and costs, with the exception of Metser, whose case was post poned Until next week. 'There was very little testimony tiken. as most of the accused pleaded guilty to cruelty to animals. THEIB HBST ANNUAL MEETING. Members of the Allegheny Athletic Asso ciation to Meet This Evening. The first annual meeting of the Allegheny Atbletic Association will be beld at the Hotel Schlosscr this evening. Tbe meeting is of great importance, because not only will the official reports be read, but the officers for tbe next 12 months will be elected and tbe policy of the association determined upon. There is a strong desire to have tbe associa tion affiliated wi'.b tbo A. A. U., and it is likely that 'a resolution indorsing this move will be presented. If the association could become a member of the A. A. U. it would undoubtedly be a great benebt to tbe local organization, and it would greatly help in guaranteeing the ap pearance of first-class men here on field days.

Major Montooth State Counsel in One Case and Others to Be Begun. HAr.KlSBDBG. Jan. 16. Major Montooth, of Pittsburg1, has been retained by the State as at torney in the suit brought by Factory Inspector Martin against tho Wormser Bros., of Pitts burg.'on account ot tbe employment of children under 12 years of age. He says that there Is no doubt that the Wormsers will be convicted and fined. The suit has been postponed several times by reason of requests made by the de fendants, but it will probably cne off next week. I Mr. Martin, who worked In a factory in his youth, is conversant with the needs of the labor ing classes. He is thoroughly in earnest and de termined to enforce tbe laws. The Inspector has recently unearthed a deplorable condition of affairs in York and Lancaster counties. Ac cording to the present law no establishment employing less ten persons comes under the jurisdiction of tbe Inspector. Certain cigar manufacturers employ only nine persons in their shops, hut bave a great number of women and children to work in tbelr own homes. Thus tbey evade tho law, compel tbe employes to srbrk over hours and nire children under 12 years of age. Mr. -Martin will seek legal advice and take steps to stop tbe prac tice, wbicb violates tbe spirit if not tbe letter of ,tbe law. Tbo law itself will probably be amended at this session ot the Legislature. TWO BROKEN BANKS. Causes" Which Led to the Assign ment pf Cashier Z,ihiniscr.

The assign ment of M. L. Zabiniser, proprietor of the Citizens' Bank, of Stonesboro, and cashier of the Sandy Lake Savings Bank, has caused a great excitement in this vicinity. Tbe depositors at once hastened to the bank here to withdraw their money. When the doors were closed some wete so much ex cited as to threaten violence. The doors of the Sandy bank were closed Wednesday evening to avoid a rush by the depositors, who were frightened by tbe failure o( tbe Citizens' Bank at Stoneboro, one mile dis tant. Zahiniser has assigned to his son Harry, as trustee, to protect his depositors to the amount of 528,000 and 52,000 and $1,000 to his son Harry. The assets cannot af yet be ascertained. Mr. Zahiniser owns a large Inter est in a leading drygoods store and consider able real cstatn, and is also a prominent share holder in the Excelsior Stock Company of Sandy Lake. The real cause of tbe failure arises from the fact that K. JR. Wright, of Mercer, was contem- Elatiug the purchase of an interest in the Sandy ake Bank, and he would, thereupon, become cashier of the bank. Among the papers upon which Mr. Wright desired better security were those of M. L. Zabinisei. amounting to 518,000. The bank officials urged Mr, Zahiniser to re duce this sum, or otherwise make it good. Fearing an execution Mr. Zahiniser made tbe assignment to preferred creditors. Tbe Sandy Lake Bank is thought to be entire ly solvent, as its stockholders are all men of good financial standing and are individually liable. Tbe deposits in this bank are about 50,000. A reorganization will doubtless be ef fected soon, a new cashier elected and tbe doors opened for business as usual. The Stoneboro Bank was opened about two years ago by Mr. Zahiniser as a private institu tion while yet be remained acting cashier of the Sandy Lake Bank. HES. M'GIKTT STJBPBISED.

EVERY PLACE PROMPTLY FILLED. Iowa the Only Place Where a Considerable ' Knmber Knock Off. THE COMPANI'S BUSINESS UNIMPEDED Milwaukee, Jan. 16. Jnst 72 operators and station agents employed on the lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul sys tem quit work to-day, and the strike which Chief Thurston, of tbe Order of Railway Telegraphers, has heralded In so many bul letins was verv much of a fizzle. General Manager Farling came in from Chicago and spent the day at General Superintendent Collins' office. The officials of the road were prepared for any emergency, and at every station where an operator quit work another man was waiting to take his place, so that the telegraphic business of the road suffered no delay of any consequence. It was not a strike at all, iu the usual sense of the word. Tho men tendered their resigna tions on Wednesday to take cfiect at 7 o'clock this morning. Many Who Resigned Stay at Work. All of those who resigned did not go out, for some repented and wired headquarters rescinding their resignations. In Wisconsin not a single man stopped work, and more than half ot those who did so were em ployed on divisions in the State of Iowa. This is partly due to the personal influence of Thurston, whose home is at Vinton, la. On the Sioux City and Dakota division one man gave up his position, and as his division is a long one, he must, have felt a little lone ly. The following official statement was made to-day on behalf of the company : Tbe men involved in this affair really had no grievance, and were deceived by tbe misrepre sentations of the Order of Railway Telegra phers. There has been no general reduction ot salaries, but simply an equalization, because operators and station men at certain points were being paid more in proportion to the amount of tbetr work than at others. The offi cers of tbe company knew of no dissatisfaction among the men until tbey learned that the offi cers of the O. R. T. were securing signatures to a remonstrance. Tho Brotherhood Misrepresented the Case. Tbe O. It. T. officials misrepresented tbe situ ation and concealed from the men that clause in the remonstrance statins; that their resigna tions would be tendered unless their demands nero complied with. Seventy-two men quit work, including those discharged for making trouble. Of this number, 9 were employed on divisions in Illinois, 1G in Minnesota, 1 in Da kota and 46 in Iowa. It was stated that of the 46 Iowa men who went out, 34 were employed ou the Council Bluffs division. At some of the Iowa stations tbe wires were tampered with by making ground connections, leaving switches open and otherwise, but no serious delay resulted from thi. A number ot operators were here to-day, who claimed that they had been called in from tbe La Crosse division of the roadj and were asked if they would take positions in Iowa. To this tbey answered by drawing back their coats, displaying a ribbon.with tbe words "We are not scabs" printed there on. They say out oi 15 men asked to work all positively refused but two, who agreed to go. t What the Leaders Are Doingi Grand Chief Thurston and the Grievance Committee are in conference in Chicago. According to their statement the road is se riously crippled by the strike. They claim to have advices that about 400 of the 650 men on the line are out, and that additional resignations are constantly being received by telegraph and mail, making the knock off practically unanimous. The following is the list furnished bv Chief Thurston of men going out by df vislons: Prairie du Chien, 20; Dubuque, 30; Milwaukee and Northern, 16; Green l!ay, 30; Council'BluCFs, SO; Illinois and Minne sota, 25; Hastings and Dakota, 30; Kansas City, 5; Chicago and Council Bluffs, Iowa, 125: miscellaneous. 115. The railroad officials at Chicago claim that only a few men have gone out, and that their places have been promptly filled. The Press Comtnitteeattue strikers' head quarters at Chicago admits this alternonn that tbe strike has so far failed to tie up the business of the road, and that it can con tinue to run its trains on schedule time. The committee, however, expresses a belief that more men will resign. The Strike at Other Points. A dispatch from Cedar Bapids, la., says: The office here was closed up this morning. It is understood that all offices on the main line are closed also. On the Kansas Citv division the strike is not on, trains still running there as usual. At Kansas City the railroad officials say they have received no word that any oper ators have resigned. The Kansas City di vision is working all right, and the officials say they are refusing applications for work. The local operators are Brotherhood men, and they were at their keys, as usual, this, morning. At Omaha all operators are at work. One man quit at Council Bluffs, and his place was filled. That is the only sign of the strike at that end ot the road. STANDING BY THE JURY. The Winners in the McKee'a Rock Dec! s lon Pleased With the Result The End Not Yet, However, as Those Knocked Ont Refuse to Remain Downed. That proposed borough at McKee's Bocks is an issue that will not down. There doesn't seem to be a man or a woman, and scarcely a child in the great unincorporated aggregation, that hasn't been enrolled on one side or the other in the fight, and it looks as though it might be made a political, a religious, or a social issue, or all combined. Tbe side of the pros was given yesterday, and Al. Young, hotel keeper; T. D. Davis, storekeeper; James Davis Armstrong, hotel keeper, and others whose name is legion, have enlisted "for three years.or to the end of the war," and say they must and will have a borough or some other government thatwill bave power to get tbem out of the mud. out of the bands of tbe mob and give them fire protection. On the other hand, Attorney A. .H.Clarke, who appeared for tbe antis, says the hearing given by the graid j'ury was fair in every respect, and the treatment ot both sides courteous. He also states that the petition ers for the borough left 200 houses ont of the limits of the proposed municipality, be cause they thought their owners would be opposed. Mr Clarke further says tbe valueof prop erty within tbe proposed borough limits was about 81,000,000, while the peti tioners represented but about 5110,000, but a little over one-tenth, and that it was a case of the tail attempting to wag the dog. Mr. Clarke also says the re ports of lawlessness are greatly exaggerated; that church, Sunday school, and family pic nics are held at the Bocks, just as ut other picnic grounds, and that the trustees of the grounds also stated that they would not be rented in future for picnic purposes to any great extent. He also says the objectors to the late borough project stated to him that they would not oppose tbe creation of a bor ough, if it were confined to the built-up dis trict, hut they object to having a large scope of agricultural land taken in and taxed highly for improvements that do not benefit it- As to the manufacturers, Mr. Clarke thinks it poor policy to tax them heavilv, perhaps out of existence, when they hare been the spring of ail the prosperity the place enjoys. It is probable the outcome of the whole matter will be that tbe lines will be re formed, and that a borough jjovernment will yet be secured for the greater Dart oi the built-up portion, as the Clerk of Courts, Mr. McGannegle, says lie would not op- SEff ADVERTISEMENTS.

Another Phenomenal Oil Gusher Added to Its Long List Other Wells Showing Up Handsomely Quiet New. From the Various Fields of the State. mrXCIAI. TU.XOBAM TO THB PISFATCB.I Wildwood, Jan. 16. At Wildwood "it is the same thing over again" another gusher added to the long list, and more al most in sight. Guffey & Queene and the Forest Oil Company tapped their pay in their No. 5,on the Itolsehousj 30 acres, this morning, aud it at once began flowing at the rate or' 40 barrels an hour. Work was then suspended till the boiler could be moved, and they will not start up again till morn ing. Barnsdall & Gillespie drilled their No. 7, Kress another bit deeper this aft ernoon, and increased the produc tion to 90 birrels an hour. The question that is most frequently ashed now. U. "Where is the end of this most proline pool." The answer' Is in the future, and tbe problem is no nearer solution than six months ago. At that time the north, east and west limits were practically defined, but not the southwest. Then when it looked as though tho field was "coopered" it came forward with sucn monsters as to stagger the trade and cause all eyes'tobe turned in that direction and stare with amazement. Nowhere in the oil produc ing fields has there been a richer spot, and this field in the amount of oil it has produced has overshadowed operations in all others for muuy months. Forst A Greenlee will bring in their No. Z, on the McGeagh six acres, in the morning, when tbe breadth of the southwest lino will in a measure be determined.

JIOSTOUR There Is quite a little prospect ing np the Montour Railroad, and some of the ventures are very promising.
