President O'Xeill Is Stated to Still Hare a Chance to Seen re Te bean From Cleveland. A 12,500 ST. BEKXAUD DOG COMIXG. Clctrwsbr uJ Kantitci Kin Uj Thtir Pool Kstea ' Gtntnl jcrtiag Newt. Cincinnati, Jan. 31. Johnnie Ward, the recognized leader in the Brotherhood re Volt, and one of the best captains in Amer ica, may ret be found in the Cincinnati baseball team. President Albert L. John son has not yet given up hopes of engaging iiim, and has set about securing talent for the Cincinnati club as tboHgh all the in ternal dissensions concerning the club's ownership had been settled. His action can be token as a line that indicates that he and Mr. Brush, of Indianapolis, have arrived at an amicable arrangement. Of conrse, there is a possibility that the deal may yet fail through, but President Johnson's action yesterday is a cood pointer. About noon yesterday President Johnson sent the fol lowing telegram to the captain of last year's Brooklyn Brotherhood team: John ard, ew 1 ork: Have jciu completed negotiations with the Brooklyn League team? If not I will give you more money to play In Cincinnati than you were ever paid before. A. L. Joiin&on. So reply came to the telegram until last even ing, justjietore President Johnson boarded the train for home. It was short, but gate some encouragement for the belier that V'ardinay vet be lonnd with the Queen City League Club. It readf A. L. Johnson, Burncmoiise, Cincinnati, O.: Have not jet sianed with .Brooklyn dab. Cer tain nroniM and conditions must be fulfilled, or I will nor join it. John M. Ward. President Johnson was highly elated over the reply, andbelore leaving. the city cent the f ol- lOHiDg: John Ward, New "i'oTK: Your influence and money here will exceed anything they can offer. The city is wild to have you come. Watt till you get letter. . . A. Ju. JOHNSON- These telegrams will doubtless give Cincin catians hope that the local club is bout to ac quire what it has always needed. There is one obstacle in the way, however. It is knonn that the New York manacement want Ward to play in Brooklyn, and it is possible they may reiuse to release him to any other club. Anyhow, Messrs. Johnson and Brush have shown consid erable enterprise io trying to secure him. It is a step in the tight direction, and will please the local patrons. A REAL HUSTLER. President O'Neill Impresses the Cleveland ers "With His Energetic Qualities A. Deal That May Be Made Players for the Forest City. :srr.ciar. Tn.ronAM to thb diipatch.1 Cit.VE.Zaw. Jan."Sl. J. Palmer O'Neill is the most -persistent amrindefatigable hustler that ever walked into Cleveland baseball cir cles in behalf of a Pittsbnrg club. If there is anything that he left undone while in Cleve land to help his onn team it is hard to see what it was. He was leaning upon the railing in the news stand of the Weddell House the other evening, and in reply to the tjdery of "a" friend, said: "I am ont for business. I am not going to re turn home until 1 get just what I want, or find that I cannot get it at all. I mean to have the best and strongest club that ever represented Pittbure, if I have to sign the last man the day bef 01 e the championship race begins." O'Neill came to Cleveland simply to get Tebeau. Had he made a proposition to ex change -Miller for Tebeau the deal would have been made as quickly as the papers could have been drawn up and the players consulted. He wouldn't do that, but proposed anotherscheme whereby for Pittsburg's aid in other channels. Cleveland was to part with Tebeau providing Cleveland cot it share in the shift. If that plan goes through and there is much proba bility of it both Cleveland and Pittsburg will be mutually benefited and berth will start in the pennant race with teams considerably stronger than ever represented either city beiore. IX Mack's case comes up before the National Board and personal contracts are introduced as evidence thai Mack belongs to any particu lar organization, it is said that there is a per- -tonal contract now in the possession of ex Secretary Brunei, of the Plajers' League, be tw een Mack and Hanlon which antedates all others. From the best information obtainable it looks as though Pittsburg's claim on Mack was stronger than that of any other club and stronger than its claim on Bierbauer. The strict and literal construction of baseball law would give Bierbauer to Pittsburg at that. There is nn truth in the reports that Cleve land is afterDelebauty, Gore, Radbourn, Crane and a half a dozen others whose names have been used in "fake" dispatches sent abroad. The men Cleveland is most anxious to get are all Westerners except one, and the chances at the present writing are good to get them. The Cleveland club has more good men to begin the present season with than it ever had. The unanimity with which the other League clubs indorsed the stand of Piesideut Robiton upon the sales system was not only gratifying to that official, but evidence that the League is much more willing to rid itself of apian that has proven a costly experiment, than the play ers Generally thought. The publication of the letters was followed by aqneer protest from a well-known player, who, while in conversation with THE DlhPATCH correspondent, said that the League maguateswere now coin;; to abolish the sales system and prevent the players from making any money out of the sales Of their re leases. He characterized that as in harmony with the usual griuding policy of the League. A year ago this time the same player was mak ing a great hue and cry about being sold like a slave. Professional baseball players are ap parently about as changeable as the chameleon. Bcatin will goto Hot Springs and put in about six weeks trying to get himsell into condition. AL MEANS TO FIGHT. The Cleveland Baseball magnate Declares Himself on tho Cincinnati Matter. Cleveland. O.. Jan. 2L Since the famous f23,000 offer to At Johnson he has crown cautious, and all propositions over the Cincin nati club between himself and Jun T. Brush, tho League bolder of the franchise there, will be on paper. Johnson came from New York last week and Monday sent the following notice to Brush: Cleveland. O., Jan. 28. John T. Brush, Esq., Indianapolis, lnd.: Dear Kip. I have been in consultation with my lawyers ever since my return, and after a very careful examination of the contract signed by the eight Players' League clubs, and also the constitution of ibat organization, to gether witb the minutes taken of every meet ing, they now advise me to state to youthat I. as the President of the Cincinnati Baseball Club, whose affairs have been en trusted to my care by the other purchasers of that organization, am ready to re ceive any proposition made by cither yourself, as a representative of the National League, or any one else representing that or ganization, which proposition I will be com. pelled to first submit to the other purchasers for their approval before I can give you any decided answer. My object in pursuing this course is that I may In no way forfeit my claim against the different clubs and their individual stockholders, whom I expect to bare to settle with me. If yon desire to meet me in Cincinnati I will do so at any time tbis week, or you can com municate with me lu writing here. A L. Johnson. L. A Russell. Johnson's Cleveland lawyer, savs be cannot be shaken in bis Cincinnati po sition, and that any damage done the property in bis bands, for which the Players' League people paid Aaron Sterne and Harry Sterne 20,000 iu cash and 520,000 in negotiable notes, will be at Brush's charge. Of course nothing can stop Brush hiring other grounds and an other team for the city if he chooses, but be cannot play against National League teams lb ere, because Johnson holds the National League franchise and will later along enjoin the National League from making up a schedule which doesn't include his club. Two Players for Barnle. Baltimore, Jan. 3L Manager Barnle to night notified the Toledo management that be agreed to the terms relative to the transferor t&91 Jeho Hoaly, the pitcher, and Verden, tbe ROW first baseman. The consideration was not made known. With Healv, tho Orioles will have a' quartet of good pitchers, the other three being Kilroy, McMahon and Cunningham. Werden is wanted because of his batting qualities. Only a second baseman is now wanted to complete the nine, and he will be engaged within ten days. BO BASEBALL C0HFEBEKCE. No Action Taken by the Magnates Assem bled at Chicago. .praciAi. TELxanAK to inx dupatci!.! Chicago. Jan. 3L That grand gathering of baseball magnates in Chicago has proved a failure Presidents Spalding, Robinson, Reach, Brush and O'Neill, of the National League; Presidents Thurman and Prince, of the Ameri can Association, and presidents from minor or ganizations were expected to enter into a-con-ference that would raise a mighty cyclone in the baseball world. Not even a breeze is per ceptible. No formal conference was held, find no official action of any kind baa been taken. Thurman and Prince hare not yet appeared. Reach came to look after a real estate deal. He left town to-night. Brush reported progress in the Cincinnati situation, and then left for Indianapolis Thursday night. Robinson will return to Cleveland to-morrow, and O'Neill departs for Pittsbnrg Monday. J. Palmer O'Neill was the happiest man in the partv. From Nick Young came a fat en velope. 'From the recesses of this, the Pitts burger drew the contract of Lewis Bierbauer, the great Eecond baseman. The Instrument was duly anproved by the President of the League. O'Neill also wasted some more eloquence on Spalding and Anson in trying to coax them into releasing Van Haltrcuand Gumbert. Sued Them Again. There are still ecboes of last year's baseball failure. Yesterday the representatives of the Denny estate levied on tho grounds of last year's local National League club for 73,100 of unpaid rent. Itwonld be interesting to know where anything ukely to be worth half of the amount claimed can be found in Recreation Park. The policemen who were on duty at Recreation Park have not yet been paid, and those who officiated at Exposition Park were paid Friday. Thought It Was Right The announcement made in Tun Dispatch of yesterday regarding the refusal of the A A U. to reinstate Tener and Gray was the theme of conversation in sporting circles. The gen eral opinion was to the effect that the A. A. U. would do rignt to make the reinstatements. But one local Amateur pointed ont that why application for the reinstatements had been made was because such reinstatements had been made in the past. He Is Still Hustling. tSFEClAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. r Chicago, Jan. 31. President J. P. O'Neill, of the Pittsburg baseball club, and other mag nates are still in the city. Nothing definite has been done yet. O'Neill is hustling about with strong hopes of securing Van Haltren or other good Chicago players. There is a great diver sity of opinion regarding Pittsburg's claim on Bierbauer and the Central Board will settle the matter next week. WHEBE ABE THE JIIDDLEWEIGHTSi Fat Pan-ell Still Wanting to Hear From the Aspiring Champions. It is extremely curious that amid all the aspir ants Tar fame as middleweight pugilists, and amid all the talk about this man and that man who wants to fight for the middleweight cham pionship, not one man in the country offers to accept the challenge of Pat Farrell, of this city. His challenge is to the effect that he will fight any man in America at 158 pounds. Fitz slmmons preferred, for a purse or a stake, or both. To show that Farrell is not looking tor fame and money that he cannot earn, be will fight Fitzsimmons for any purse that may be offered by any club and will bet 5,000 on the outside, tbe winner to take every cent and the loser nothing at all. If tbat is not a challenge that means business and confidence, there never was an honest challenge issued. If Fitz Simmons can afford to ignore a challenge of that kind the title of champion is not worth 1 cent. But if Fitzsimmons declines to fight, Farrell is anxious to hear from tbe other alleged champions. Where is Reddy Gallagher, and where is Carroll, of Brooklyn: Kessler, La Blanche, Young Mitchell, and others? i arrell will fight any one of them for anything at all. Not one of these men have any right whatever to say another word about fighting anybody until they have declared themselves on Far rell's challenge. SLAVIN AGAHT ON BECK The Australian Makes Another Very Bold Ofler to John I Sullivan. fBT DUNLAF'S CABLE COMPART. London, Jan. SL Charles Rowell, the En glishman, who won tbe first six-day walking match at Madison Square Garden, has issued a challenge to the world for a 21-hours' go-as-you-please match for 250. He prefers to walk against Albert or Littlewood, and Dr. J. A Dougherty, of Philadelphia, has accepted tbe challenge in the name of the former. Frank Slavin, the Australian champion heavyweight, announces that be has accepted the challenge said to have been made by John L. Sullivan, to present the former with 5,000 if he stands up before the other for six rounds. Slavin further offers to wage S5.000 to Sullivan's f 10,000, that he, Slavin. will knock Sullivan out in six rounds. Slavin says that be is willing to fight in any city in the United States, and as proof of his confidence in American fair play, he will go alone. Lord Lonsdale's Present. The New Orleans prize fight choked up the Fleet street thoroughfare on which the sport ing newspapers take publication. Its result was awaited by great crowds witb an interest in prize fighting that has been curiously re awakened by the recent prosecutions of glove combatants. The Interest, of course, centered on the Australian. Apropos Slavin and Mc Aullffe desired to give Lord Lonsdale a present in testimony of gratitude for what be did for them in the way of procnrlng them counsel and witnesses in those prosecutions. But what emblem to select was a puzzle. Some one sug gested a breastpin of a superbly embossed violet in diamond setting. But Augustus Moore, the new Benedick of the Hawk, carried the day in suggesting a gorgeons inkstand. "Yet why tbat 7'' asEed a friend. Tbe answer was: "An inkstand is tbe most fitting emblem nowadays of their profession, now that prize fighters busy themselves more with ink slinging than with tbe punching, which wai thought necessary in days when judges thought it harmless." Spirit of the Times. McCaffrey Gets the Place. New Yore, Jan. 31. Chairman S. J. Cornell, of the Athletic Committee of the Manhattan Athletic Club, told all inquirers at tbe club house last evening that Dominick McCaffrey had been appointed boxing instructor of the club; tbat the only dissenting voices bad been in favor of Walter Campbell, but upon tbe certificate of a specialist that McCaffrey was in perfect physical condition he was appointed. McCaffrey will to-day take up his headquarters at tbe club and at once commence the lorma tion of his classes. He will also be prominent in all future club boxing tournaments. Declared the Fight OS New Orleans, Jan. 3L The fight which was to have coma off here before the Audubon Association March 9 between Andy Bowen. of New OrleaLS, and Austin Gibbons, of Paterson, is off. The articles between tbe men required them to fight at 133 pounds, the weighing to take place six hours beiore the fight. Boweu insisted on a change in these articles and tbe weighing at the ring side just previous to tbe figbt, and as he would not abandou his de mands tho money he put up was forfeited. Gibbons leaves for home to-morrow. Lloyd and Warren Matched. Indianapolis, Inc., Jan. 3L A match has been arranged between Abe Lloyd, of Brazil, champion feather-weight of Indiana, and Tommy Warren.

Clearwater was finished last evening in th? Grand Central Rink in the presence of a large audience. Tbe playing was good on .both sides, but Clearwater demonstrated his superi ority beyond a doubt. .' Kutzsch started, off well, and in the first tame pocketed all the 15 balls. He soon took THE a good lead, but Clearwater settled down to brilliant play, and was not long in going to the front. He kept his good work up and eventu ally scored the 200, and Knntzich scored 150 for the night. The xcore for the three nights was: Clearwater. 600; Kuntzsch, 428. After the match was decided Mr. Kuntzsch said: "If Clearwater can keep up the brill iancy of play he has decided in Pittsburg he is the best player in America, or the world, for that ..matter. I have seen. Powers, -Do Oro, Manning and all the stars, and bono of them can play as Clearwater has played here. I frankly admit that he is much superior to me." THE $12,500 DOG.

She Secretly Harried a Livln; Skeleton, bafGot Tired of Him. SAD FAILURE AS A DIPS0T1C FEBAE tSrECIAL TSLZOBAX TO TUE DISPATCH. I Kew Yobk, Jan. 3L A. very pretty woman billed as Mile. Charcot, niece of the famous Dr. Charcot, of Paris, and civing hypnotic exhibitions in a dime museum on Fourteenth street, turns out not to be Mile. Charcot, but by her own confession is Eva Powers, formerly of Corry, Pa., where she was secretly married to the living skeleton of Forepaugu's Circus. Her story is a curi ous one. A few days ago the newspapers of New York received nicely written invitations to send representatives to a private hypnotic exhibition to be given by Mile. Charcot, niece of Dr. Charcot, of Paris, for the pur pose of demonstrating to the medical pro fession her wonderful power as a hypnotist The invitations stated that she had come to this countrv for the purpose of explaining the advantages and use of magnetic power in the treatment of disease. The reporters saw nothing remark able to describe in her hypnotic exhibition, but Mile. Charcot was described as a woman ot rare personal charms, clever and ex ceptionally well read in her science. Other hypnotists had, however, done all and more than she had done, so there was nothing un usual in her performance. Admits the Deception. She gave one exhibition and finally it was suspected that she was not Mile. Charcot, and on being cross-examined by one who thought he knew her, admits that she is, or was, Eva Powers, ot Corry, Pa., and is now the wife of Al Beeves, a well-known banjo player. She is hilled at the Museum as "The Phenomenal Lady Hvpnotist, Mile. Charcot, Who Conquers AH." This is the story of her life as she has herself given it to the reporters: In 1880 Mile. Charcot, or Mrs. Al Eeeves, or Mrs. Feralto, nee Eva Powers, was a 17-year-old girl living in Corry, Pa. That summer Forepaugh's circus came through the town. With it was traveling Eugene Feralto, one of the best known livingskeletons. It was love at first sight in tbeir case. They were married that same afternoon. At night she returned home. She concealed her marriage from her family. Her husband continued traveling with the show. That fall, after the circus disbanded, she joined her husband in New York. They spent the winter together, and when he joined the show in the spring she went with him. Fosed as a Beauty. She did not exhibit that year, but in 1883 she succeeded Louise Montague as tbe $10, 000 beauty, and was again on the road with Forepaugb. During the circus season of 1883 and 1884 she and her husband were with the Barret show. She had learned magic and performed as chief at traction in the side show and was also on occasion a Circassian beauty. It was after one of these seasons that she filled a short engagement at a mus eum. No. 210 Bowery, doing magic. From there she went up to a museum at Bristol, and finally ended up at her husband's home in Providence. Just'out of the citv is Crescent Park. There in 1885 and 1886 she and her husband ran a small circus and museum. Feralto bad all this time been growing more and more dissipated. She finally took her com pany "on the road" and left the drunken freak to take care of himself. Later she ob tained a divorce from him. .. f Married Once More. In 1887 she had settled down at Law rence, Mass., running a little variety theater, which was eminently successful. It was there that she met her present husband, Al Beeves, who is one of tbe best-known banjo players in tbe country. They were married two vears ago last summer. She sold out her theater and invested the pro ceeds in property at Hills Grove, B. L, which is now her home. Last summer she appeared at the Sea Beach Palare at Coney Island. During the i.iii mourns sne was at Uons Museum, Eighth avenue, where she appeared as "Ev.i the Mascotte," telling fortunes. She left this place to make her American debut as Mile. Charcot. This is the story as told by Mile. Charcot herself. Members of "the profession" who were interviewed on the subject say that on the Bowery she was known as Eva Powers, and had a number of trained birds, which she exhibited in the museum where her first husband, Feralto, performed some very re markable tricks for a skeleton, such as lift ing a water barrel with his teeth. She is at present associated with E. G. Johnson, "a professor" of the art which she practices. INDIAN WARS NOT OVER, Turbulent Young Bucks Who Thirst for Glory Surgeon Meeker Says the Beds Are Unsettled and Won't Listen to the Chiefs American Horse Shoots Twq Men. James Meeker, who was one of the 30 United States surgeons at Pine .Ridge dur ing the recent Indian trouble, passed through the city last evening on his way Ease He is an old army doctor, and has lived among the reds for years. In speak ing of the Indians last night, he said: -"The trouble is not over by a good deal. It is time the settlers and ranchmen have gone back to their farms and grazing grounds, but they have little faith in the Indians, protestations of peace. Tbe reds are such a wild, turbulent set that a tribe is liable to break loose at any time, and commit theft and murder before stopped. In this case the reds are not in the hands of the chiefs, but their leaders must do what the young bucks say, or they will be de posed. When the delegation comes back from Washington and the grand pow-wow is held, if the tribes don't like what has been done, then the trouble will begin. The Indians are in a very unsettled state. Their rations have been meager, and they want to know for a certainty that the Government intends to feed them. "I can't speak too highly of Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses. He is about the only one of the chiefs I would trust. He is a powerful and level-headed young fellow, and he did more in the Ust outbreak to pre vent the spilling of blood than anv other Indian. American Horse is a wild, harum scarum young buck, and a few days before the delegation left for Washington he shot two of his men when tbey commenced the ghost dance. This is the kind of a man he is. He is cunning and is constantly on the lookout Jor American Horse. The fact is, you can expect an Indian war every ten years. In this time a new lot of youpg bucks are budding into manhood, and tbey are thirsting for an opportunity to dis tinguish themselves. Tbey make it by stirring up strile, and the chiels who don't accommodate them soon lose their influ ence." Thad Stevens Won the Flag.

Copyifr 'JdSO When Charlemagne and his "Khightsof the Round Table" were making war on the Saracens, in Africa, it frequently happened that Knights on either side would fight in single combat for the honor of their respective armies. The Saracens had been, for many ye?j8, the scourge the dreaded invaders of Europe, and all waged war against this common enemy. But in these davs the worst scourge that threatens us, is that dread invader,. Consumption. Dr. Biggs, demonstrator of anat omy in the Bellevue Medical Col lege, who has great opportunity for post-mortem observation, says : "It is a startling fact that of all deaths nearly one out of every seven is caused by consumption." Consumption fastens its hold up on its victims while they are uncon scious of its approach. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has cured thousands of cases of this most fatal of maladies. But it must be taken before the disease is too far ad vanced in order to be effective.
