THE FIGHT OF TUB DOCTORS RENEWED SriCIJlt. TILXCJIAX TO Till DISr-A.TCH.1 t HAr.RISBURG, Feb. 11. Representative , Fow's bill to repeal some of the less popular M features of the Sunday law of 17114 has greatly aroused the advocates of a rigid ob servance of the Sabbath, if the remon strances against any modification of the ancient law being forwarded to members of J the Legislature are to be taLeuas indicating the sentiment prevailing among church peo , pie. Protests against the propose legisla tion were presented in the Senate and House to-day, and the fizht against 1'off's scheme is declared by its opponents as only in its incipient state. ; Sabbath associations in the East and "West and represented in the remonstrances pre sented in the House by ex-Speaker Graham and others, and by Senators I"eeb, of Alle gheny; Meek, of Center; Lloyd, of Cumber j land, and Critcbfield, of Somerset. The lat ter had one read for the information of the Senate. It was from the Western Pennsyl . vania Sabbath Observance Association, and ' pledged its co-operation with the Barbers' ( Association in respecting any change of the Sunday law, which was said to be in accord ance with the law of God and promotive ot health, hapDiness and morality. rieading for the Sabbath. This morning the House Committee on Vice and Immorality gave the enemies of the Sunday law an opportunity to give their opinions in opposition to the measure having this purpose in view. Lewis D. V-il, rep resenting the Philadelphia Law and Order Societi, and the Rev. "Wilbur F. Craft, Honorary Secretary of the Western Pennsjl ania babbath Observance Association, made earnest pleas against the favorable considera tion of t!ie Fo bill, as calculated to work great mischief to the sanctitj of the Saubatb. Mr. Vail also appeared before another com mittee in advocacy of the passage or a law to give the judges of tbe coaris the same di cretionarj pauer in the granting of wholesale liqjor licences that they possess in granting licenses to applicants for retail licenses. He also did a little quiet uork against the bill tor the appointment of an exiise commission by the Courts of Common Pleas of Philadelphia to take charge of the granting of all liquor licenses asked for in that city. The Grangers of thehtate are fighting even harder lor the passage of the bill for the equal ization of taxation than ire the Kil!hnrrr, for the defeat of the Fow bill. Members of the henate aud the House ueru loaded this morn ing with petitions in favor of the proposition to unload some or the taxes imposed on real estate on the corporations Grangers Notified to Be "Wary. Scores of granges have alreadv sent in their appeals for the parage of this" measure, but members of the Legislature, who are atread, laemified with orders of the Patrons of Hus bandry at their homes predict flood r me morials on the subject in the near future. Te Grange authorities have northed all the Penn tyltania granges of the importance of takin prompt action on the proposed legislat.ou, in new of the certain and powerful opposition of the coiporations. which claim that if the bill should pass, receive the approval of the Gov ernor and stand the test of the courts, they would be compelled to submit t. increased tax ation amounting to about SI.000,000 annually. The Granger members f the Legislature held a meeting this evening to make provision to meet c ery possible scheme that may be ap plied to deleat their bill. Next Thursday cveninc M. F Olinstead, of this city. leprcsent lug a number of corporations, and Marshall JV right, of Allentown. representing the Lehigh valley Railioid Company, will address the ajs and Means Committee against the measure. Oil Men Given a Hearing. The Senate General Judiciary Committee, to which the bill to reduce the rates for the pipe age of crude oil has been submitted to-day, heard arguments for and against the passage of the measure. A committee of 12 oil pro ducers as present during the hearing, and several members of it tried to enlighten the committee as to the purposes of the b II and to show l. that much good would fl iw from it to the people of the State, as well as to the pro ducers. This committee represented 3000 oil pro ducers of she o.OOU or fc,WJ iu Pennsjlvama. Those who asked for its fivorable considera tion were W W.B.own, W P. Thompson and T. B. Clarke, of Bradford; A. M. iodd. of Washington; M. Murphj, of Pittsburg, and M. if. Butler, of Warren. M. I'. Olmsteail. of liarrlsliurg. as the representative of the JSa-lion-il Transit Company tho offspring of the Standard Oil Compinj, argued against the bilk Mr. Iraziue. of Warren, representing an in dependent nil refinery, said he would not speak in op tositiou to the tecond section, which i would oblige them to pay 57 cents for the de livery of a bairelot oil in Philadelphia, while the shippers of crude petroleum, which is trans portable through pipe, could have a barrel shipped to that citj lnr27 cents. Thisevening ex "senator Lee, of Venango, addressed the committee from the prodncirs standpoint. Tight of tho Doctors. Tho doctors who addressed a joint committee of the House General Jcdiciary and the Health andfcanitation Committees, gave another Illus tration how casv it is for them to disagree. Tho allopaths ranged themselves in iavor of the bill authorizing the Governor to appoint a commis s.on to inquire into the merits of candidates for admission into the profession, without regard to the school of medicine to which the members mm be attached. The representatiues of homeopathy took a bold and uncompromising stand for the educa tional medical lull), which provides for the ap pointment of a commission consi-tnig of three members each from the allopath, homeopath and eclectic schools. The reenlars were rep resented bj Dr Pcffer. McCormick. Flick. V ood, Roberts, Read and While, or Philadel phia; the homeopaths by Drs. Kornderfer and Thomas, of Philadelphia, and Pi. cairn, ot Ihis city, and the eclectics byDr O'Neill, of Phila delphia. In tew ot the great divergence ot opiriou expressed by the physicians at the hearing, the committees will have creator diffi cult! tiiau ever in deciding which of the bills should have the preference before the Legisla. ture. The Joint Legislative Educational Commit tee, mi rusted -vith the investigation of the aliened book trust, began its inquiry to-day by examining Superintendent Waller, of the bchool Department of the fetate. and iRpnties Ilouck amlhtenart, relative to the existence if a c mbination to control the price of school books. Know Nothing or a Trust The commit.ee received no information ex cept that the witnesses were totally ignorant of the operations of any book trust. 1 hey not only knuw nothing about the evil which it was sought to correct, but said no information was obtainable in the department to trive the com mittee any light on the subject which the com mittee was authorized by resolution lo investi gate. They admitted that there was such a thing as the American Book Publishing Com pany, but whether It had any controlling influ ence in fixing the price ot schoolbooks thev conld not say. Senator Herring, of Columbia, introduced a bill to-day which is intended to cure an anom alous condition ot things in coal mines in Sulli van county. These mines produce a semi bituminous coal, but great difficulty is experi enced In mining the mineral because anthracite miners are not familiar with the way in which bituminous coal is worked, and b'tuininous miners cannot undergo a succisstnl examina tion under the anthracite mintig laws. The consequence is that no adequato meat a exist to develop the coal iu the indicated mines. The purpose of the bill of Seuator Herring is to exempt tho men who would be willing to operate in these mines from the anthracite miners' examination law. and place them un der the act relative to the examination of bituminous coal miners.

IL Two banks here, the First National aud the North Middle sex Savings, closed to-day, aud the cashier of both institutions, H. K. Spaulding, has been missing since Monday evening. The Supreme Court this afternoon issued an in junction restraining the North Middlesex institution from paying out any money until an investigation of the finances of the bank ?an be made. Investigation tends to show that both the bauks arc solvent, the savings institution especially' so, as none Of its Innds have been tampered with. Cashier Spaulding has doubtless been dabbling in stocks. He was a regular member of the Methodist Episco pal Church, and was accounted a man of sterling habits and upricht character. The belief is general that he has been nn'ortu nate, and left to avoid bnmiliation. He lias taken no Urge sum of money. In fact, the ouly evidence tending to show that there are any irregularities are that he is missing and that he has been dabbling in stock!. Fits, spasms, St. Vitus dance, nervous ness and hysteria are soon cured by Dr. Miles' Nervine. Free samples at Jos. Feming & Son's, Market sk xh Convenient, Comfortable Houses Are in great demand.

The Scenes at the Sale of tbe Cele brated Seney Collection. PITTSBUBG PATK0KS PRESENT. Bidding for Some of the Pictures of a Tery Spirited Nature. TIIE LIST OP THE W0KKS PURCHASED tEPECIAt. TELEOrtAM TO THI DISFATCIT. 1 Kiw ToitK, Feb. 11. Great is George L Seney to-night; and bis celebrated collec tion of paintings, numbering more than 300, now offered at puolic sale, is beyond doubt a remarkable assemblage of art works. Many of them are masterly, and it is prob ably true that no more important collection has ever been offered in this country at auc tion. Nevertheless, and becanse I am a Pittsbnrger, the gratifying conviction which is impressed upon my mind, I here express. The average artistic merit of this famous collection is not greater than was the average merit of our own Art Loan Exhibi tion in Carnegie Hall Upon the formal open ing of that building. This is not saying less of the Seney works. " It is saying more for art in Pitts burg. If tar deliberate judgment is cor rect, it means that we are gathering and even now possess in Pittsburg art works which compare f ivorably with the finest collection ever offered by a famous collector in this country. The scene in the Madison Square Garden assembly room, where the sale commenced, was certainly animated and brilliant. The demand for'admission tickets had been so great that 5,000 were issued. The result was a tremendous pressure upon the capacity ot the beautiful room. nttsbnrc Art Lovers Present. A number of well-known Pittsburg art lovers were present. Charles J. Clark, "William Thaw, Jr., and H. Du Puv were among these. A great picture sale, such as this, is certainly novel. It is more it is a remarkable phenomenon. Pictures which have gone on in the even tenor ot their sev eral ways for years, passing leisurely out of one baud into another, possibly appreciating, steadily in value, always tenderly fondled by owner and lover, now find themselves in a mad race, scurrying along one after an other at a most unseemly pace. Bids snap sharply from every section of the room, often withjjjt the lapse of a second between them, and We hammer falls with a clanz, the echo ot which scarcely dies before a new candidate for favor is acainst the rich plush and actuallj on the run. In the mad rush one gentleman bid S25 against himself to night, on Ho. U, and It was knocked down to him. He deserved It. All go alike, however, tbe famous work with the one less known, and where no exception is made no complaint can be entered. Many of tho pictures are being purchased by dealers who know thoroughly their value, and the deal ers come from every quarter of the country, lrnm Montreal to Kalamazoo. Vibert'a brilliantly colored panel, "The For bidden Bonk," called forth a general hand clapping when the curtains were drawn aside and disclosed ir. It was started at f 2,000 and nrovolced some vervlivelvbiddinc until secured by H. U. blater for M.100, a dozen different persons apparently bidding for it until tbe price reached (3,700. A Struggle Between Two. Then the competition was narrowed down to two. They bid bv twentj-fives for awhile, and finally Mr. Slater named the price by a jump of SUM. No. 62, Maures' "Carting or the Loe." was secured by Kneedler for 51,200 against a de termined opponent. Philadelphia, in tbe per son of Georgo M. Klkins, secured Guy's little gem, the "Making ot the Train," regarded by many as his best production. It cost the Quaker City $1,975. Knoedler made the only bid for Jean Paul Laurens' "The Widow" and got It for $500. Horace Rnssell paid $625 for George Innes' "Winter Moonlight." It was started at $500. This was by fir the moststrik Inc of the many paintings by Inness in the col lection, although not regarded by critics as the best. Julian Dupre's Mn the Hayfield' was greeted with hearty applause. It was started at $500 ana jumped rapidly to El.'JOO, at which price it was bouzht in by William H. Frear, of Troy. Tbe first of the seven Schreyers in tbe collec tion was started at $1,000 It was entitled "For Food aud bhelter" and occasioned a ripple of applause. A. C. Harrison, of Philadelphia, secured it for $X25U. Another picture which attracted tbe multitude was Erskice Nicols' "Mental Arithmetic." That was also started at 51.000 and sold at $2,650. bamuel UntermPyer bid in JJe Madrazos' "Mme La Marquise" for for $1,150. Mr. Untcrmeyer also purchased Munkacsy's "The Dreamer" for $S50, after con siderable lively bidding. Einilo Breton's "Evening" aroused no enthusiasm whatever, borne ope started it at $500, and J. C. Rinn, of Boston secured it for 8100 more. George F. Bker secured Cazin's "Moonsys" for $875. Diaz's "Flowers" was knocked dowu to Knoedler at $550. Mr. Delniomco entered tbe Hsu when Daubignj's "The River Oise" was offered. It was started at $1,000 and jumped alo to $1,600. Then Delmonico made the price $25 better and kept on till he landed his prize at $2,325. "The Herd." a small panel by Troyon, was captured by B!akelee.for $750. More Intere-t was awakened by Diaz's panel, entitled "Tho Pet Spaniel," which was started at 1500 and brought $1,525. The List of the Sales.

Tbe famous amateur, George Ingraham Seifey. first saw the light at Astoria, L. L. May 12, 1826. He came from excellent stock, bis father being an eminent Methodist clergyman, and bis grandfather a Revolutionary patriot, a member of the Continental Congress and f tho first American Congress. Young George received bis education parti v at the Wesleyan University, and pirtly at the University of tbe City of New York. After graduating from the latter school at the age of 21 years, he entered tbe banking business, lising rapidly from firt paying teller of tho Metropolitan Bank to president of that insti tution. He also became a promoter of many financial enterprises and a director in several railroads. BBut it Is not through bis every day vocations that he is the subject of interest. The world knows him best in tbe role of an amateur as a philanthropist and a patron of art. He was prominent in all the work of tbe Methodist Church, and gave generouMy to public institu tions. Tbe collection of paintings which he brought together under his own roof, is what has made him famous. In America it is second only to that of Mr. Walters, at Baltimore.

Fully 235 pictures were sold for $406, 910. Mr. Seney again became a millionaire, and sratherca a new collection better tbau the first because the fruit ot a riper judgment.

Smothers, the Brownsville Sprinter, Ac cepts the Challenge of J. Priddy. GENERAL SPOUTING NEWS OP THE DAI It will be interesting to patrons of the local ball clnb to know that efforts are to be made to secure Elmer Smith, oi this city, to pitch for the local club next season. This was resolved on yesterday by President O'Neill. The latter and Manager Hanlon are extremely desirous of having a good left-banded pitcher on the team, and after a careful survey of the situation Mr. O'Neill is of opinion that Elmer is just the kind of man required. President O'Neill was , informed yesterday that Smith desired to play in Pittsburg becinse his wife and family are here. "Well," replied tbe President, "ne shall be glad to have a man like Smith, although we have a very good man in our other Smitb. But Elmer Is a Pitts burger, and he and Berger would make a good home battery. AVe want a home battery. I have not spoken to Elmer Smith on the mat ter, nor will I until I have a talk with President Krauthotf, of tbe Kansas City Club. I will meet that gentleman on Friday, when I will try and make a deal. I can give him a good pitcher and probably a good fielder also in re turn." Elmer Smith was seen by the writer and spoKen to on tbe question. He said: "I cer tainly would like to play in Pittsburg, as my home Is here. I thine arrangements could be m-ide with tho Kansas City club by which I could be transferred to this city. I don't want to go there, hut I certainly will not eo any fur ther East than Pittsburg, so that there is no truth whatever in the story that I am going to Boston. If the Kansas City club gets young Sowders I think I can get my release witbouE anv trouble, as tbe club will not need us both." If President O'Neill can succeed in making a deal with President Krauthoff by which we get Elmer hmith lie will have accomplished an achievement bitrbly satisfactory to local lovers of the game. Elinor is not only an excellent player, and an all-around one, but he is a pop ular player in Pittsburg. He did great work for Kansas Ultv last year, and really won the championship of the Western League for the Conbojs. On this account it is thought that the Kansas City club will be reluctant to part with him. But President O'Neill means to try and get him. and Elmer thinks that the efforts will be successful. EJHOTHEES TO THE FHONT. His Backers Accept J. Prlddy's Challenge for a 100-Yard Itace. The backers of the Brownsville sprinter. Smothers, have not been long noticing tbe challenge of Joseph Priddy, which appeared in this paper the other day. They are practical men, and soon make np their minds. Prlddy's challenge was to the effect that he would run Smothers a race of 100 or 125 yards. The Brownsville party have accepted that part of tbe challenge which refers to 100 yards, and to show that they mean business, a forfeit of 10 was received at this office yesterday as a guar antee that they will be at this office Monday evening at 750 prepared to make a match tor 500 a side. Doubtless a race between these two young and exceedingly proml-ing sprinters would bo one of the most interesting foot-racing events seen here for a very long time. If the weather should be fine, an immense croud would cer tainly turn ont to see them, as they are both "unknown quantities." It is not too much to say that they are both good runners, and that fact alone would make a contest between them all the more interesting. It micht be well to suggest that if they make a match, to trv and have tbe race when fine weather is probable. AN OFFEE TO HECKF.B. , Sir Guy Is Wanted to Manage the Fort Wayne Ball Club.
