Fitzsimmons' Manager Willing to
Match Bis Man Against Pal
' Farrell for 15 Rounds.
OTHEE ENGAGEMENTS OFFERED.
Trouble in the Lonisrille Call Club, and It
May Be bold at Anction Within
a Few Days.
SPALDING DECLINES A GREAT HONOR.
EiS Htctug of the ButUll JUgrstn Otnersl Sport
kg Kct-i of the Dry.
There is now every probability of a meet-
ing between Pat Farrell, of this city, and
Bob Fitzsimmons, the champion middle
weight This statement will knock on the
head all the recent rumors to the effect that
FarreU'3 recent challenges in this paper were
all "blnfl and nonsense."
Last eTening John J. Quinn, the backer
of Farrell, received a letter from "W. E.
Harding, who is representing Farrell's in
terests in New Tork. The letter went on
to state that Mr. Floto, Fitzsimmons' man
ager, is in New York, and that Mr. Harding
had held a conversation with him regarding
a contest between the Australian and the
Pittsburger. Mr. Floto was quite willing.
It appears that the latter has Fitzsimmons
encaged for 15 weeks at 300 per week, and
during that time Fitz is tp meet all comers
of tbo tniddle-n eight class from 4 to 15 rounds.
Mr. Floto, therefore, while not disposed to ar
range a fight to a finish for Fitzsimmons, is
qnite willinc to hare the latter meet Farrell in
a contest of 10 or 15 rounds in a public hall.
Mr. Quinn, in behalf of Farrell, quite agrees
with tnis, and Farrell himself is not opposed to
it. But tlie npmion of Fitzsimmons on the
matter is yet to he learned, and if he is willing
it will be ago. If he is nOfnilling, then Mr.
Harding will enforce Farrell's challenge for a
6gbt to a finish lor the belt. Fitzsimmons will
be in New York to-morrow, and his answer will
be at once wired to Mr. Quinn, of this city If
arrangements are made for the contest, Farrell
will be offered a week's encasement at Harry
Miner's Theater and a week's encasement in
lirooklyn to meet all corners, middle-weights,
of course. Hut Mr. Quinn, in behalf of Far
rell, insists that the prujected contest shall not
take place sooner than four weeks after sign
ing articles. Farrell will not be able to get
donntoloS pounds In that time, but the con
test in question is to be at catch weight.
Whatever objections Fitzsimmons can havo
to a tight'" annu-hwitli Farrell he certainly
cannot object to a contest of a limited number
of rounds inasmuch as he has already signed a
contract ilb Floto to meet all comers. If it
is agreed that the contest is to go on it will be
one of excoeding interest to Pittsbunrers, as it
will go a long way toward proving whether or
notlrarrell is in the front ranks. It is safe to
say that 13 rounds will thoroughly test both
men, because Farrell is not a waiter by anv
means, and if he can stand before the tall
Australian that length of time he will have es
tablished his claim of being among the best of
latter clay pugilists. It maj tie stated that
those who are interested in Farrell are ex
tremely eacer to have him meet either Fitzsim
mons or anybody else. Whichever way things
go Farrell has at any rate been brought promi
nently before the public, and it is ceitain that
he will secure a fight, if not with I'uzslmmons
with some other prominent middle-weight be
fore long;
TBOUBLE IK LOUISVILLE.
The Baseball Club to Be Sold at Public
Auction In a Few Days.
Louisville, Feb. 11 The Louisville club is
to be sold at public action in a few days, and
the affairs of the club, which hate been in a
very tangled sliane for two months past, have
at last been amicably adjnstcd,and the warring
factions havecome to an Understanding which
promises to bring war out of chaos. Major
Thomas and Ihonias liateman, becrotary and
Treasurer ot the club, had a long conference
tins morning, and it was practically agreed
that the Major would cither join with the "syn
dicate." as the majority faction is known, or
organize a syndicate himself for the purchase
of the club. hatever m airy there may bo in
the effort to get control of the club will be en
tirely friendly, and both sides will do what they
can to get a good price for the club. There is
no doubt that it will be a pacing investment
next tear, and that properly managed it ought
to be w orth at least 30, WO
It was sold to the syndicate several months
ago f or i5,0U0, bu tho members assumed the
debts, which consisted principally of loans
made b them to the clnb.
In regard to the present understanding
Thomas J. Bateman said this morning: "We
have all come to an understanding, and the
Falls City Bank has agreed to take back the
clnb and foreclose the mortgage in the legal
way. We have offered to take Major Thomas
in with us on oar bid, but he has not yet de
cided what he will do in the matter. He may
decide to organize another syndicate and buy
up the club In either case I think Mr. Parsons
will be elected President. If the club bricks
t2o,000, as it should, why, the newcomers will
be enabled to pay uff all the debts and we will
gethack all the monev we put up. Of course,
it the club issold b) regularforeclnsure,tlie old
corporation ceases ana tne small stockholders
get nothing until the debts iro paid. If the
club is sold before February 17 there will be no
annual meeting.
lbe following is the syndicate who will
make a liberal bid on the clnb: L. K. Parsons,
Larry Gatto, Mortis baens. Major William
Tillman George Reiner, T. J. Pottinger, Johu
Kelly. Julius Winter. Jr., George McBnde,
George tt olf, and T. J. Biteman. If we get
hold of it we will issue new stock and go to
work at once to buildup a fine team lor next
season. There ought to be a great deal of
money in the club next season."

SPALDING DECLINES THE OFFICE
The Chicago Magnate Refuses to Act as
Chairman of the Board of Control A
New Plan Adopted Mr. Young Is Secre
tary. I SPECIAL TELEOHAH TO THE DISFjLTCn.l
Chicago, Feb. la Preferring his old Dun
lap derby to the glittering crown of the base
ball king, A. G. Spalding to-day refused the
chairmanship of the National Board of Profes
sional Baseball Association. The royal head
gear was then fitted on the head of Allen
W. Thurman, Jr.. who accepted the mighty
trust. Thus tbo famous body whicn
is henceforth to control the national sport
effected a permanent organization. The honor
was conferred upon the Chicago magnate upon
tho unanimous desire of every member to tho
national agreement, and it was as positively
declined. Tbo board was unprepared for
such a turn and it became evident
also that it would be compelled to select one of
its own members. No one of the trio was will
ing to undertake the task of autocratic rule for
the allotted term of five years. After a free
discuion of a method of solving the vexa
tious question a pleasant and sensible plan was
adopted, and under its provisions the son of the
Old Hainan mounted the throne.
At II o clock Colonel John L. Rogers. L. C.
Kranthoff, Allen W. Thurman and N. E.
Yonng walked up the Auditorium's marble
stairway, through the tapestried parlors and
down a long bailwav to the smoking room.
Becretary Pro Tem Young, also invited bis
companions to business and the great
board began its inaugural session. The
door was locked, the window nailed
down and all the furniture overturned
for the meeting was secret. Much time was
passed in the consideration of rules and
methods of procedure, and theso details hav
ing been completed the election of chairman
and secretary was announced in order. It had
been-conceded that Spalding was to have the
chairmanship, and each delegate declared
the Cbicagoan to he the unanimous
choice of every member in the organi
zation he represented. Before taking a for
mal ballot it was decided to hearf rom Spalding
himself, as to whether he would accept tho po
sition. Nick Young therefore hurried to the
hotel Jrotunda to escort the distinguished
nominee upstairs The latter to acceler
ate speed, dropped the League President into
an overcoat pocket, and shortly was at the door
of the council chamber. Then Spalding en
tered the room and removed his hat. President
Thurman explained the action taken by the
board, and, on behalf of the National League
and American aud Western Associations,
formally tendered the Cbicagoan the Chair
manship. Spalding's reply was brief, but
earnest and pointed. He said that he had been
connected with baseball 23 years, as player,
captain, manager, club owner, high official
ana adviser; he bad devoted his time and re
sources to the successful advancement of the
popular sport. He had finally become weary,
he said, of the onerous duties and the time in
volved and desired to draw out. He then re
spectfully declined tho honor offered. Then
bpalding replaced his bonnet and left the
room. .
For a long time the board was unablo to
find a way out of its dilemma. Finally It was
decided that the chairmanship should be made
a movable situation. Under the arrangement
adopted A. W. Thurman is to hold office for
one j ear. when he will be succeeded by L. C
Kranthoff, who, after a year of service, will be
relieved by Colonel Rogers.
For Secretary of tbe board there was no sug
gestion of any name, but that of Nick Young
and the veteran baseball official was formally
elected for a term of five years. At midnight
tbe National Board was still at work on play
er's cases, and Secretary Yonng said that there
would be no adjournment until morning.
TIMING ENGLISH BACES.
A British Authority Thinks That More At
tention Must Be Paid to the Matter.
Commenting on the time of English horse
races, the London Spoittman says:
Race timing in England is not nearly so im
portant a matter as lu America, where the
watch is generally looked to as the key for
finding the real capabilities of a horse, either
as a trotter or flat 'racer. Thers is good reason
for thi, too, for at all meetings in tbe States
there is an official timekeeper, whose duty is
to clock every race.' There horses are both
trained and tried by the clock, and it is well
known that Pincns. when preparing Iroquois
at Neivmarset for bis races, frequently sub
mitted his charge to tbe time test, and ex
pressed bis confidence in the anility of P.
Loriliard's horse to win the races for which he
was prepared. Tne fastest record for a mile is
frequently asked, and occasionally it occurs to
some one that tho report that luilipse covered
a mile in a minute is just open to doubt. No
matter bow often tbis latter question is contra
dicted and ridiculed it still crops up with regu
lar persistency. We next have to discredit
tbe statement that Buccaneer ran a mile at
Salisbury in 1:38, adding tbat Diopbantus made
a record for a 3-year-old when he won the Two
Thousand Guineas, covering the Rowley mile
(which was then 17 yards more than the mile)
in 1:43. This was equaled by Galopin in his
match with Stray bhot, but it has not been
beaten. We should have said tbat in Australia
also the time test is looked up to as of great
value, and possibly in the near future we our
selves may find it worth while to pay more at
tention to it as a guide to form.
THE DATE IS FIXED.
Everything Arranged for tne Battle Be
tween Dixon and McCarthy on the 27th.
rsrzciAt. tklsgkah to the DtsrATcn. J
New York, Feb. 13. Cal McCarthy started

Ic speaking nf tbe offer yesterday. Larkins
said: "1 am satisfied to tight anyone in the
world at 122 pounds for this purse, and will bet
1,000 or 2,000 on tbe outside. Jack Van Heest,
of Buffalo, has been named as a probable oppo
nent, but if he does not accept 1 will meet any
other man at the same weight, Jimmy Lynch
preferred."

Boston, Feb. la Hugh Duffy, the Chicago
star baseball player, called at the Glob; office
to-day. When asked how he wonld like to
play ball with tbe Boston League Club he said:
"Nothing could suit me better, I don't care to
return to Chicago, as I didn't get along well
with Anson the last season I was with him. On
seeing in the papers that Anson would release
me if I didn't care to play with him, I wrote
him saying that I would consider it a big favor
if I gofmy release. Last .Saturday I reccit ed a

THEY MEAN BUSINESS.
The Allegheny Advisory Committee Has a
Strong 'following, and Will Become Per
manentSome Names Given, and the
Best to Be Published Early Next Week
The citizens' movement in Allegheny has
strong blood in its complement, and men of
brains and business instinct behind it. .Itis
something more than a creation on paper,
aud, from what was learned of its personnel
and purposes last night, indications are in
the direction of a permanent organization on
the Northside which will make its influence
felt.
Much interest was aroused, both in this
city and in Allegheny, by the publication
in The Dispatch of tbe circulars and
platform of the movement. aSatttrally
everybody wanted to know who were back
of it, and to this end inqniries were set on
foot,
Fifty of Allegheny's most influential and
prominent taxpayers have subscribed to the
movement, and already this commtttee of SO
have received pledges from at least 200
business men and citizens generally of
hearty support of the platform, as an
nounced by tbe committee. The temporary
secretary ot tbe movement is Robert B.
Lea, ot tbe Manufacturers' and Merchants'
Insurance Company.and George Shiras III.
is among the number of the committee.. Dr.
O. L. 'Miller and Charles W. Robison are
reported as being sympathizers with tbe
movement. Another gentleman who is tak
ing an active part in it was seen last night.
He spoke as iollows:
"The only motive for withholding the
names of the committee from publication is
that the criticisms of the press and the
public should not be directed against tbem'
as individuals, but thit the purposes of the
movement should be gauged by the work of
the committee when it should he thoroughly
organized, prepared to assume responsibility
and court the criticisms, as well as ask the
support of the public and the press
for its objects. I can say now that'
the committee nas been organized,
and tbat it contains tbe names
ot CO leading taxpayers. So f.ir we have
heard from 200 of the foremost citizens to
whom we wrote announcing our platform,
and we have received hearty promises of
surport, on the' condition tbat no deviation
from the proposed platform be made. We
have also promises of sympathy from a
large proportion of the officeholders who
will be with us, though debarred from ac
' tive co-operation. The names of the com
mittee will be given to the public on Mon
day or Tuesday, and it will then be seen
that this movement is a ser:ous one, and
that it will become permanent. The friendly
editorial support of "The Dispatch has
already done mnch for the organization, and
we expect that the press will side with us
when they hear more of us."
DRAGGING ITS LENGTH ALONG.
The Craig-Stewart Contest Continues Wlth
1 out Much Animation.
The Craie-Stewart Congressional contest
dragged its slow length along until the
small hours last night, and it was about as
exhilarating as a Quaker meeting
vhere the spirit neglects to move.
No one, to quote Colonel Stewart's
counsel, any longer attends the meetings
save to enter their formal protest. The con
testant's counsel,Attorney Brennan.says the
examination is making good the claims of
irregularity on which the contest is bused,
and says also tbat the claim of irregularity
as to the mode of proceeding has been virtu
ally abandoned.
At 10:10 o'clock, tbe assaulting party
hurst tbe ballot box of the Third
District, Baldwin township. Mr. Skelly
was sick and a notarv

the proceeding appeared to be very dry, the

very well. They expect to finish their ex

SILENT WITNESSES AGAINST GIBSON
Chicago, Feb. 13. New developments
came to light to-day in the Gibson dyna
mite plot. Tbis morning Attorney William
Barry, of counsel for Gibson, appeared be
fore Judge Blodgett and asked permission
to examine the package, said to have been
delivered by Gibson to Dewar, and sup
posed to contain the explosive with which
Shufeldt's distillery was to have been blown
up. Judge Blodgett gave the required
authority and the examination was com
menced. "
"When the package was opened a pint
bottle full of light bluish fluid was dis
covered. The cork was securely wired and
sealed. Tt was drawn with some difficulty.
Upon a piece of paper, lying on the table, a
single dropf was poured. The instant it
cime in contact with the paper there wis a
flash, a stream of fire shot out aud tbe room
was tilled with suffocating sulphurous
fumes. So quickly did tbe paper burn that
a bucket of water had to be thrown on it to
prevent the Are from communicating with
other materials. In attempting to cork up
tbe stuff again tbe cork was ignited. A
toweLwas thrown over the bottle. And the
towel caught fire and burned up before the
fire could be put out.
A Rush for the Door.
As soon as the crowd succeeded In extin
guishing the fire and getting the fluid
safely in hand a rush was made for the
door. The room was filled with blue smoke.
United States District Attorney Milchrist
was greatly excited and in answer to a ques
tion exclaimed: "What is that? Great
ScottI Can't yon smell it? Look at my
hands. What do yon suppose a whole pint
ot that stuff wonld do when a single drop
of it nearly set the whole building on fire?"
Tbe strong fumes emitted by the fluid
proved its principal ingredient to be phos
phorus. Some of it had gotton on tbe
hands of Captain Stuart and Mr. Milchrist,
and it continued for a long time to send
forth a blue smoke.
Tbe fact that anything was delivered to
Dewar besides tbe fluid has been denied by
some. Attorney Milchrist is authority for
the following: "In tbe package delivered
to Dewar by Gibson was a section of a gun
barrel charged with powder. On top ol the
powder was a steel projectile? about two
inches long. This was placed in a tin can
and around it was closely packed oakum and
cotton. Through the oakum and cotton ran
a fuse to the nipple of the gun. The fluid
was to be poured on the fuse, which would
ignite the oakum and cotton."
The Whereabouts of Gibson.
George J. Gibson, the Secretary of the
Whisky Trust, is in Cleveland awaiting
results, was the information received at
Marshal Hitchcock's office this morning.
Immediately after tbe officials began dis
cussing tbe probability of Gibson escaping
to Canada. A certain Federal officer high
in authority said: "Mr. Gibson will have
to go farther than Canada to escape us. If
Gibson wants to escape the punishment that
is sure to come, he must go to Europe. No,
we will not attempt to dog him. It will be
an easy matter to get him back."
'Superintendent Tnbbs, of tbe Western
Union Telegraph Company, held a short
conference with the District Attorney tbis
morning. It is believed tbat Uncle Sam's
officers are endeavoring to secure Gibson's
telegrams from that company to be used as
evidence against the Whisky Trust man;
Inspector Stuart said to-night Chat during
a trip to Feoria last week: he discovered
where the' Gibson fluid was compounded,
and obtained evidence as to who it was tbat
loaded the gun barrel. The work was done
in Peoria by one and tbe same man Gibson
himself.
Captain Stuart obtained some of Gibson's
handwriting at Peoria and had it compared
with the letters by an exnert, who unhesi
tatingly declared "that the tell-tale penman
ship was Gibson's.
SALOON HEN 8TJBFBISED.
City Officers Prosecuted for Conspiring
With Liquor Sellers.
Council Bluffs, Ia., Feb. 13. A gen
eral crusade against the saloon men hat been
inaugurated here, and 45 liquor injunction
suits have already been filed. A new feature
in tbe cases is that all the city officers are
charged with conspiracy in permitting
saloons to run by accepting a license fee or
monthly fine, and it is sought to enjoin the
officers from accepting the money.
The Mayor, the City Clerk and the City
Marshal have been enjoined by the parties
bringing tbe suit from collecting the fines.
The proceedings were a great surprise to the
saloon men of Council Bluffs, as it was sup
posed that all prosecutions had been
stopped.
