An Old System of Blackmail and Persecution Revived in Germany. PROSECUTION OF A LADY For Speak-in Disparagingly of the Emperor's Portrait, OX A DISMISSED SERYAKT'S WOED. Court Scandals, Involving Hish Karnes, Finally Hushed Up. DISSATISFIED WITH HIQOEIS FOLIC! fBT DUKLAP'S CABLE COiirAIVT. Berlin, March 15. Trials for hieh treason, which for some time past have happily not been heard of in German courts, have reappeared under the Benevolent des potism inaugurated by Emperor William, and there is the same fine flavor oi espionage, and blackmail about tbem as of yore. The case ot Schmidt Tersus Vou Fummel is one in point. The defendant is a respectabl-s lidy, wife of a high placed omcial, and the informer Schmidt is a discharged servant, formerly in her employ. Schmidt deposed that be heard Frau Pummel ruake use of a disparaging expression while dusting a por trait of the Kaiser. Still Pushing the Prosecution. The uutrustwortluness of the witness was plainly proved at the trial, hut the prosecu tion is being pushed on with as much rigor and disregard for justice as if the safety ot the realm depended upon the conviction and incarceration of the defendant. It is more than probable that the Emperor knows noth ing about the affair and that the over-zealous or spiteful disposition of some State's Attorney or other is sponsible for the dis graceful proceedings. The court scandals involving the name of the late Prince Frederick Charles as a dealer in diplomas and orders of chivalry, which were reported at length on February 16, have been finally hushed up, and all the charges against that scoundrel, Maurice Keiter, who served as a catspaw in the shady transaction of His Highne-s and the court clique, have been dropped. One in significant person is left to take his trial on charges so irrelevant as to guarantee him an easy escape. are of an Acquittal. His public trial is et down for 'Wednco day next, when possibly a subordinate offi cial of the Court .Marshal's office will be put into the dock as an accomplice; but the in dictment is so constiucted as to make a speedy dismissal of the case, according to law, necessary. This is only one of many signs of important deviation from the new course of which so much has been said in laudation of the present reign. Dr. Jliquel has heretolore been looted upon as one of the principal exponents of the new departure, and has -done his share this week toward discrediting his and the Kaiser's policy, by the unf.ur partiality he lias displayed toward the 17 lordly Prussian magnates, who are exempt by law irom tax ation. Herr Jliquel has declared that the magnates must not be asked to reiinquUh their rights unless they receive a round sum in compensation. The Liberal pailyarein dignant at their old Democrat's cowardly retreat, and they remind him that in his farewell speech as Burgomeister of Frank furth he promised to make it his business, :is Secretary of the Treasury, to procure the equalization of taxation at all hazards. DEPOPULATED ACRES. The Black Forest Country Denuded of Its l'arms and Peasantry. TBT DUXLAr'S CABLE COMPAXT." Berlin, March 15. The Baden Govern ment is losing its reputation as a model ad ministration, and is makiug itself unpopu lar bv its policy of buying up small farms and thereby driving the settled Deasantry into the cities to swell the mass of discon tented workmen. The farmers ol the Black Forest, who once measured their fortunes by lhe size of their measure-heaps, as Mark Twain picturesquely puts it, have greatly diminished in number during the last two years, and their acres are now to a great extent covered with young trees, planted bv the State. It is admit ted that f.iir prices are given for the holding, hut the ready cash thus suddenly thrust into the pockets of people who never, or yery seldom, were in the habit ol holding the commodity, is in itself a misfortune. So great has been tbedepopulation of the Black Forest that no fewer than six peasantscho.ols have had to be closed sincr the beginning of the present year. The State is now in treaty for the purchase of the village of Fauldenherst, ne.ir Bern dorff, which means that ISO well-to-do fami lies will be scattered over the country to find new habitations as best they may. Business people in the neighborhood con sider those villagers the most prosperous ot their class in the country. Their only mis fortune is that their homesteads happen to be situated in a Government forest domain. AMERICAN STATIONS. German aal Authorities Charged TYitli Kntirelj Neglecting Tliein for Africa. tBY DCSLAP'S CABLE COMPAST.l Bkrlin, March 15. The debates on the navy estimates will be additionally inter esting next week if, as expected, one of the Iiiberal members assails the Marine De partment for neglecting the East and West American stations. The first has had the benefit of the presence of a single cruiser for the last four years, but this has now been recalled, while the West American waters have not had a glimpse of the German tiag for five years, owing to the demands of the African service. The department will be told that Germany maintains a saw for the protection of Ger man trade all the worid over, and not in the African wilderness alone, and if necessary supply will be withheld until proper in surances are given that the American sta tions will be properly looked after iu tuture.

GULLIBLE GERMANS liv-ing Made the Victims of Swindlers With Confederate Greenbacks. rT DUSLAP'S CABLE COMPAST.J Berlin, March 15. Confederate green backs are still highly valued in Germany, it seems, since the international chevalier in the industry is able to dispose of them in large quantities among unsophisticated peo ple who nik-lit know better. A noted Berlin detective 'says that at least 100,000 marks are raised imnually betwe:n .the Rhine and the North Sea on those musty old notes of hand. A man was recently apprehended in Bel gium paying his hotel bill with a 50 green back. It was a ga'iie he had beeu playing for years. Germans, especially of the mid dle class, appear to attach an exaggerated valne to the possession of notes of American currency. DENIAL FROM PARNELL HE SA7S THE LATEST MRS. C'SEEA STOET IS PURE FICTIOK. His Duties in the House of Commons Not Neglected for Her Criticism of the Op posing Lender Pleased at His Dele gates' Reception. rmr dcklap's cable compakt.i Galwat, March 15. Mr. Parnell was interviewed to-day by a Dnnlap reporter. At the same time he was shown a cablegram telling of the enthusiastic reception accorded his representatives in New York this morn ing. Mr. Parnell said: "I am exceedingly pleased at this testimony of American sym pathy. I never, even in the most serious phases of the crisis caused by Mr. Glad stone's letter, had any reason to doubt the soundness of the Irish-American opinion on the great question of Ireland's right to choose her own leader." The reporter then called Mr. Parnell's at tention to the sensational report published ou Saturday and cabled back here, alleging that he had absented himself from the House cf Commons during the debate on the Irish distress question Thursday night in order to visit Mrs., O'Shea at Brighton. Mr. Parnell replied to this: "The story is pure fiction. There was nothing requiring my presence in the House at that time. The debate was a circumscribed one and no use ful question could have been asked upon it. The members of my party, who are acquaint ed with the local details dealt with by the Chief Secretary, were there and spoke. I have not a sufficiently close acquaintance with the localities to join in the discussion, and what I could have said, if I were there, was much better said by the representatives of the divisions directly concerned." Parnell then pointed out that McCarthy took no part in the debate and that Sexton, Healv and all his chief opponents were likewise absent from the House on the night in question. "That shows," Mr. Parnell continued, "how ridiculous this charge is. If my opponents could make any capital against me by joining the debate they would have done so. But of course there was no room for them to do so. Yes, I wrote mv manifesto on Thursday night, I was also engaged during that night in attending to urgent details connected with our campaign in Ireland. The suggestion that I broke an engagement I had at the .House is, as I told you, a lie. This fanciful story I believe emanated from the same source as did that other false report of a fight between the two sections of the Irish party during their sit tiugs iu room 15. a report that, by the way, resulted in an order being given excluding its authors from the lobby of the House of Commons hereafter." COURTESY OF COMBATANTS Emperor William Net er Had an Idea That a Reconciliation Was Possible. Paris, March 15. It was stated on the highest authority that the German Gov ernment drafted the long statement which appeared in a dispatch published from the London Times' Berlin correspondent, and claiming to represent the Emperor's reason for the Alsace-Lorraine decree. In this dispatch, it will be remembered, Em peror William was said to repudiate the idea that he had been misinformed a; to the statu of affairs caused by the Empress Frederick's sojourn in Paris, saying that th courtesy he sought to establish was merely that of combatants politely bowing before dossing swords, and that he never had an- idea that reconciliation was pos sible. But the Emperor is supposed to have added, from the moment that his action was interpreted as a sign of weakness by a hand ful of howling dervishes who succeeded iu making a whole nation giddy, it "was his duty to reassert the dignity of the German nation. "It was not the Emperor's business to look into the motives of these outbursts," the Emperor is alleged to have said in con clusion. A FRIEND OF THE NORTH, Tho Djlng Prince the Strongest Intellect in the Bonaparte Tainily. Paris, March 15. Hon. J. Bigelow, ex United States Minister to France, in an in terview to-day, said that Prince Jerome Napoleon, who is lying at the point of death at Rome, was "a good friend of the North." Mr. Bigelow added: "When the Imperial Court was leaning toward the South, Prince Jerome Napoleon exerted his utmost influence in our favor, and opposed ,the Mexican expedition. Prince Napoleon believed in the unal success ol tne JNorth. I remember that when he was residing at the Palais Itoyal the appointment of theFrench Minister to Washington was announced. "He is no iriend of yours," said Prince Napoleon, addressing some of the members of the diplomatic corps who had Southern sympathies. "The Prince's influence was greatly weakened by his licentious habits, but un doubtedlyihis was the strongest intellect of the Bonaparte family Having the Prince on mv side, greatly strengthened me in the negotiations ending iu the collapse of the Mexican enterprise." BROKEN HEADS AT NEWBY. The Police Called in to Protect an Antl Parneil Gathering. Dublin, March 15 At an anti-Par-nellite meeting held at Newry to-day there was a scene of great disorder, theParnellites turning out in strong force and doing their utmost to break up the meeting. The disorder began when a series ot resolutions denouncing Parnell in the strongest terms was put to the meeting. The resolutions were received by the Parnell men with hoots and groans and several per sonal encounters between opponents and supporters o: Parnell took place in every direction. The police were frequently com pelled to interfere and undertake the work of separating combatants, using their clubs freely. Rev. Father McOscar, administrator to the Primate, preachine to-day, said, that he had advised the Primate to refrain for the present from taking issue with Mr. Parnell, but that if the latter persisted in his present course the sacrament would be refused to his adherents. TRADE WITH AMERICA. Spain Has a Scheme of Her Own for a Treaty of Commerce. Madrid, March 15. The Ministers of Foreign and Colonial Affairs have drafted a scheme for a treaty of commerce with America in response to the Washington Government's proposals. The scheme will be examined by Premier Del Costillo before being presented to Mr. Blaine. The Premier desires to expedite the negotiations. FRANCE MAY HOLD ALOOF. If Demand Are Refused She Will Not Take Part in the Fair. Paris, March 15. The prompt appoint ment by the Chamber of Deputies of a com mittee to study the question of participation in the Chicago Exhibition must not be in terpreted as meaning that France is over joyed at receiving the invitation and that she will be represented at the World's Fair. France's cordial aeceptance of the United States' invitation only paves the way to a demand which, if not conceeded, will per- haps result in France's absence frorn Chi cago. In an interview recently with a prominent member of the committee, the gentleman re! erred to said: "Unless the Uuited, States Congress protects French trade-marks tht Chamber js unlikely to grant much money. The question of trade marks will be a great obstacle to the suc cess of the interests in France." NEW CHILEAN WARS HIPS. The French Government Will Not Allow Them to Leave Toulon. Pakis. March 15.

TIME FOR RETALIATION. SECEETAEY BUSK SPEAKS HIS PIECE AGAINST GEBMANY. He Says We Have the Rest Meat Inspection lair on Karth. anil That Discrimination Against the American Hoe Must Cease In Favor of Redress. Washington. March -15. Secretary Rusk was asked this evening what he thought of the statement said to have been made by Dr. Von Boetticher in the Reichs tag on behalf of the German Government, to the effect that the new sanitary measures adopted in the United States were inade quate and, therefore, that thj Government did not intend to rescind the prohibition placed upon tne importation of American hog products. He replied: "I can hardly believe that such a state ment has been made, for it imparts wilful or pretended ignorance of the legislation now in force in this country providing for meat inspection. The last meat inspection law passed by Congress provides for the most thorough and complete sys tem of inspection possible, aud . it will be more thoroush than that now in force in any other country in the world. Not only cattle and hogs must be examined immediately prior to slaughter, but I have the power to cause post mortem examinations to be made, and in the case of swine, a microscopic examination of all hog products, and every precaution that science can avail itself of to detect disease will be adopted. "The certificate issued by this Government after such examination will guarantee that the animal from which the product came was free of disease. If an ante mortem ex amination and a microscopic examination after danth will not satisly the German Gov ernment ot the purity o! our hog products, then it is simply because they purposely propose not to be satisfied with any system of inspection. This Government has long and patiently suffered the imputa tion placed upon its meat products by for eign natious to exist under cover of just such pretexts as is said to have been made by Dr. Von Boetticher, but the time has about arrived when this unjust discrimina tion of prohibition against out meat prod ucts, and the false statements as to their purity, as the excuse for such prohibition, must cease. "Such statements as are imputed to Dr. Von Boetticher will no longer be permitted to go unchallenged by this Government, and such redress as the laws of this country per mit to be had should, in my judgment, be enforced." A BOSTON MAN'S WILL. It Is Found in an Old Pair of Trousers Picked Up in New Tork. SPECIAL TELEOHAM TO THB DISPATCH. 1 New York. March 15. Perry Ansorg found an old black pair of trousers in One Hundred aud Sixteenth street, near Third avenue, and took them to the East One Hundred and Twenty - sixth street police station. He turned them over to the police, because he had found in the pockets the will of Michael Donlon, of Boston, and a bill of sale to Michael Donlon by the New England Trust Company of a plot of ground on Carolina avenue in a part of Boston which once was West Rnxbnry. Donlon paid $411 13 for the land. He makes speci.il bequests amounting to about $2,000 and leaves his residence on Franklin place and a double dwelling hou'e on Wash ington street to his wife, Ann. The instru ment bears Michael Donlon'.s mark and the stamp, "Registry of Probate, July 15, 1890." The Register's signature looks like George Foyal. A DEMAND FOB LIGHT. Even the Police on ltutler Street Object to Darkness. The citizens of the Eighteenth ward, who reside along Butler street beyond Fifty-first street, are in an indignant frame of mind at present and there is considerable talk of holding a meeting to give expression to their feelings'. The cause of this indigna tion is the lack of light iu that part of But ler street beyond Fifty-first street. They claim that Butler street below Filty-first is well lighted by electric light, but that there are no lights beyond Fifty-first street to the Sharpsburg bridge. The police in this unligbted district also complain that it is almost impossible to carefully watch their beats owing to the absence of lights. There will be a meeting Tuesday night to take action in the matter. GONE TO CALIFOENIA. The Golden State Divides Honors Witli Florida as a Winter Resort.

A FORMAL ADDRESS PRESENTED To Which Mr. O'Kelly Eephes on Behalf of the Delegates. HE TALKS AT.LESGTH ON THE SITUATION ,'CrlClAL ULEnRAM TO THZ DtSPATCJIM New York, March 15. The steamship Etruria, having on board the Irish M. P.'s who are delegates for Parnell, reached the bar late on Saturday and dropped anchor off Quarantine for the night. The committee which had arranged to receive the envoys went down the bay early this morning. When the committee boat ran up along side the Etruria the envoys were not yet on deck. In response to loud calls, Mr. O'Con nor soon made his appearance at the rail and was greeted with three cheers. As soon as possible Messrs. O'Kelly, Redmund and Harrison were taken aboard the boat Dr. O'Neill, for the special committee, presented to the delegates the forma! address of wel come. He said: "We have heard of the secessionl from the National ranks of those who preferred the dictation of an English leader to the leader ship of a fairly chosen, supremely well equipped, tried and unpurchasable Irish statesman. And we desire to say that in your representative capacity you are welcome to the affection of our hearts, the hospitality of our homes, and all the resources we can influence or command." A Response of Thanks. In response to this address, Mr. O'Keliy, for the delegates, thanked thecommittee for their cordial .welcome. Continuing, he said: "The question in Ireland is not a per sonal question. It is the old contention of the nght of Irishmen to rule in their own land in their own way. The men who are responsible for the present dissensions have sheltered themselves behind other issues. We have come here to explain the true issue. If we can explain to you fully the dangers of the situation and the benefits of your support, the struggle in Ireland will be short aud decisive." When seen later in the day, the state ments which Mr. O'Kelly proceeded to make proved startlingly different Irom much of what had beeu received by cable. No McCarthy meetings are held "in the large centers, he said; they are held only in out-of-the-way places and inside of chapels and other buildings. The opposition to Parnell in most of Ireland is very slight. What there is is in the smaller districts and much of it is due to local causes. There was always some opposition to Parnell, although Ireland, as a whole, was overwhelmingly in his favor, and there is little more opposition to him now than there has been. Some who formerly stood aloof are now numbered among his follow ers and there are enough of such to take the places of all who have abandoned bis cause. Effect of Ecclesiastical Thunder. When asked as to the effect of the attitude of the priests, Mr. O'Kelly said that the ecclesiastical thunders, "had only had effeat on old men, who arc preparing for the next world." Iu a general election," he con tinued, "the McCarthy party will lose nearly every seat which it at present con trols, aud will practically disappear. It will be swept out of the country." When asked about the Paris resprve fund, Mr. O'Kelly said it was composed of money raised largely through Parnell aud intended to be absolutely under his control. By his appointing McCarthy a trustee, however, he had " blocked its use for the po litical purposes for which it was intended the expenses of a general election, as neither he nor McCarthy would permit the other to get the benefit of it. Rather than have it lie idle, Mr. Parnell was willing to have it distributed, under proper safeguards, among the sufferers from eviction, but his propositions to have this distribution made by a committee composed of one of each side had not beeu accepted. The Parnellites will hold a meeting in the Cooper Union on Monday night They may quit the city at the end ot the week, but will continue to consider it their head quarters. They will have to divide up in order to meet their various country encage ments. They expect to visit nearly all the larger cities in this country and Canada. They will probably spend the entire summer here. THE CONNECTICUT MUDDLE. Honse Republicans Have a Programme of Action Arranged. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Hartford, March 15. Chairman Ben ton, of the Republican State Central Com mittee, said late to-day that the House would pass the Judson bill Tues day and then send it to the Sen ate, alter which they would take a recess for two weeks. He had no faith that the Senate would concur in the Judson bill, which con'ers upon the Superior Court the power to decide who is Governor of Con necticut, but he had a faint hope that such might be the action of the Senate. If, during the two weeks' recess, the House will take on Tuesday, the Senate does not accept the Judson bill, or some other practically simi lar method of settlement, lhe House will pass all bills which seem to be necessary and will adjourn sine die. Inquiry among most of the Democratic Senators, who are in the majority, indicates that the Judson bill wili be rejected. The Senate will adhere to the original deter mination to do nothinc until all the Demo cratic. State officers are seated. Should the Legislature adjourn without filling any of the many vacancies in the several civil and criminal courts of the State the greatest confusion will ensue. A WEDDING MAEEED. The Groom Charged With Bigamy Flies From tho .Marriage Supper. Ottawa, March 15. Fred W. Hall, of Clevelaud, O., and Mi.s Katie Warren, of this eity, were married here last night.

The merriment had reached its mil sway when a friend of the young lady beckoned to the groom to come to the door of the room. Hall immediately grew white and replied nervously: "Is it me you.want,?" Hall went out, and was then and there charged with having a'wife and family in England. After some hesitation, Hall ad mitted that he had been married, but claimed that he had been divorced from his wife. The matter becoming known, the greatest excitement prevailed, and iu the midst of it, after the newly-made bride had given back the wedding ring, .Hall disap peared and has not since been seen. It is supposed that he left for Cleveland on the night train. Steps will at once be taken to have the marriag; annulled. BUYING AETHiEEY MULES.

THE HOOT OF 1HE EVIL. The London News Thinks Corruption Is at the Bottom of It All. London, March 15. The News com menting on the lynchins of the Italians at New Orleans, says: Italy's indignation is shared by the whole civilized wurrd. In nearly all such cases in America the disease, corruntion, is at the root of the evil. The Americans are at once tho most patient and the most impatient of people in the world. When tt.ey have grown tired of any grievance they move to their revenge with the swiftness of a hawk. The people of New Orleans could hare soon discovered whicn of the jurymen in the Italian trial had lingered the murderers' gold, and it would be better to keep the jail intact for them.

A few years ago a shooting occurred in a Los "Vegas saloon. One man got three bul lets iu his body and lay groaning on the floor. One glance showed that his moments were numbered." His 'breath came in quick, convulsive gasps, and at times he moaned with pain, as a friend bent over him aud endeavored to stauch the wounds. Gambling was at its height in Los Vegas at this time, and in the midst of this scene a gambler spranc upon a faro table and shouted: "I'll bet $50 to $40 that man dies within five minutes." No one responded, but the offer drew no remonstrance from the crowd. THE LATEST IN ADVERTISING. English People Deluged With Recom mendations on Postal Cards. A new method of advertising is being ten tatively adopted in England. It would seem to consist in sending post cards recom mending a particular play, book or picture, and as this recommendation is pretty likely to meet not only the eye ot the person to whom it is addressed, but also those of the postman and servant, through whose hands it passes, the scheme seems likely to prove a successful one. A centleman writes to the Times to say that he has received the following letter: "Do go to the Theater; 'both plays are most excellent and entertaining. We thought that you might like to know February 20, 1891." DEATH CF FRANK FEHB, The Weil-Known Louisville Brewer, Noted for His Liberality. Louisville, Maich 15.

Of course, billiard playing is becoming more popular all over the country, but it is becoming very much so in Pittsburg. The recent Chicago toumament was a good one and Carter played exiremely well." "Do you think lTe3 can defeat Carter?" was asked. "Well, that is not a very nice question for me to answer. They are both great players. Sometimes Carter's playing cannot be beaten, and sometimes he plays very, very badly. Ives is a regular player and a brilliant one. lam not prepared to say who is the better man be tween them. But 1 would like to see a tourna ment in which Ives, Carter, Schaefer and SIos- son iook part, mat would be a great event." Regarding the local tournament, ilr. Mc Laughlin said: "I think the tournament will be a success, as ucare all in good form, and eacb of us, of course, wants to win. The 14-inch balk line is a great game and tests one's skill. But I have found that the atmosphere has much to do with the quality of the playing. If the at mosphere is very changeable the play will be bad, and If the atmosphere is gcoa and steady in ore win De some good waving." Messrs, Burns and Cline" stated they were Dleased to visit Pittsburg, as they had heard so much about it. They expect the tourney will be a great one. Burris is quite young and is looked upon as a coming star among the ex perts of the cne. Mr. Meyers has decided to only announce the names of tho contestants for lhe current day. that is, the players who will compete against each other to-morrow will be announced in to morrow's paper, and so on during the week. Tne game this evening is expected to be an en tertaining one as it wilt be Pittsburg against Philadelphia. It is only fair to state that Mr. Bushart, the local man, has not had as much practice at the game as be ought to have bad, and the same may be said of Mr. Walker. Mr. Lew Shaw, of Cleveland, will be referee, and Mrs. Shaw, the famous lady billiardist, will also be present at the contest. During the week Mr. McLaucIuin will likely practice at the Davis' billiard rooms. JAKE MEANS BUSINESS. The Champion Billiard Player Talks Very Plainly to George Slosson. Cincinnati, March 15. Jake Schaefer, tbe champion billiardist, has authorized the follow ing statements : That he will go to New York to play Slosson for the championship of the world provided S250 are allowed for expenses. That if Slosson is unwiliiug to allow expenses, Schaefer will go to New York and play Slosson a match game for from 1,000 to 55,000, the winner to take everything and pay all expenses. That ho will also play in a tournament, provided that there are no less than four entries, (250 to be the en trance fee, the winner to take as a prize, besides all the money, the emblem representing the championship of the world which Schaefer now bolus. That be has deposited 100 forfeit with the Brunswlck-Balke-Collender Company to make a match for Frank Ives to play Slosson a 11-inch balk line g.tnie, "mm 500 to SOB points, for 500 a side, the same to take place in New York within from :!0 to CO days. M'ALEEE'S M0VEMENTT3. Reasons Why He Goes to Cleveland Instead of to St. Louis. '.SPECIAL TELEGIlAii TO THE DISFATCII.1 Youngstown, March 15. By reason of cer tain matters transpiring the past week the fact of Jtiumie McAleer, the center fielder, signing with tbe Cleveland League club last night oc casions little surprise. While with the Cleve land Players' last season he signed a personal contract with Al Johnson for three years. When Johnson purchased the Cincinnati club, McAleer ihought It proper that he should go into the Association and lie went to Pittsburg and signed a St. Louis contract. When Johnson retired from the business Mc Aleer concluded that this released him and oo wiote Von der Alie, and then went to Cleve land and signed with tho League. He is iu ex cellent conditiDn, having taken tbe best of care of himself during the winter. Old Sport Gnlvln. Various minors are current to the effect that "Old Sport" Galvin is to be released by the local club. If a recent statement made by President O'Neill is to be bolieved there is no truth in the rumors. A few days ago Mr. O'Neill stated emphatically that Ualvln would be on tbe team. If any of tho officials are de sirous of getting rid of Jimmy they should re member that he is one of the mostponular players in Pittsburg. It is also reasonable to expect that the "young man" will be quite able to hold his own during the season. But It is almost time that something was being dono toward getting a local team arranged. Menkin's Body to Bo Sent Home. Yesterday a son of Charles J. Menkin, who died on Saturday at tho Red Lion Hotel, ar rived in the city to take charge of the remains of bis father. The body of tbe decoased will be shipped to-day by Funeral Director George A Smith to Cleveland, O., for Interment, and tho expense will bo borne by the Duquesnc Kennel Club, of this city, Mr. Menkin having come here to exhibit his dogs at their show.
