Other Eportizg Kiws of Inttnst Githtrci Frcm ill Firls cf the Wcril By far the most interesting and most ex citing pame of the billiard tournament so far was that played yesterday afternoon by Messrs. "Walker and Dodds, the two local players. The old remark, "it's anybody's Came," was never better illustrated, as Jlr. Dodds only won by eight points, and at one time it looked like a certainly for Mr. Walker's running out the game. There was a good afternoon attendance, and it was easy to see that partisan feeling was very high. Since billiards has become popular here, each partr h.is its champion, and there are now three parties, represented respectively by Messrs. Dodds, Boschert and AValker. On Uhursday evening Mr. Dodds defeat of Mr. Boseliert led many to be lieve that he would ea-ily dispose ot Mr. "Walker, but in this they wero greatly deceived. For nearly half of the game the two players kept well together, and then Mr. Dodds nent well to the front. He speedily bad a lead of moie than 40 and in the last hundred it looked as if he had an easy task in band, but Walker, with some good runs, includinga 22 and an IS, not only tied the score but passed Mr. Doods close to the finish. Mr. D idds fell "on!" a lmleandthe plaers vcre 292 each. Excite ment vas intense, and with the score at the point named Mr. Walker had the table, but he tailed to getbejond the 292.

The American Association "Wants Peace Only in Their Way. tSfECtAL TFLEOKAJt TO THE DtSPATCH.l ClNCINATI. March 20. Said President Kramer, ot the American Baseball Association, lo-day: "The story ot a compromise in base ball is a piece of not erv thrilling fiction. Base ball is a very funny business, aud the length of my connection with it uncertain. Of course, the Association wants peace. It would be best for all concerned. But if peace can tmlj be bad by the Association giving up Cin cinnati, the merry war will goon andsotne bodv will get hurt. Cincinnati won't support two clubs and the public will decide which is to stay and we are willing to abide by the verdict. "The Association is done with lobnson. Nothing could induce us to touch him again. There are some tilings in the ball business that should be changed. A board of arbitration, consisting of at least rive members should be chosen. A board of three is too small. 1 would like to see a lricudly series of games between the local teams this spring, but it is scarcely a pos sibility." President Kramer has wired Jack O'Connor that he must immediately refund to Pittsburg the advance money be received. TO-DAY'S ENGLISH BACE. Two Great Unliersltj Crews to Pnll Against Kach Other. TBT DCNLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.l London, March 2a The crews of the sev eral universities are resting to-day as a prepa ration for the final struggle to-morrow. The latest betting gives odds of more than 2 to 1 on Oxford, which to many seems to offer a correct gauge of the chances, and to endorse the views of those who predict a runaway race. The friends of Cambridge however, while admit ting that the chances arc in favor of the dark blues, add that bad steering, or a fluke of wind, might neutralize this apparent superiority and make the contest an even one. 1 o this it is an swered that Cambridge is not fastinrouzh water and that even then Oxford should prove the wmnei. Tbe Oxfords are expected to pull as well at the end as at the beginning of the course, and to reach the goal a length or two ahead The boats will start at 11 A. M. instead of the usual hour in the afternoon, to secure the best of a bad tide. C0SNEBS AND PABKEB MATCHED. To Wrestle at Yonngstown March 30 for SI OO a Mle. Tockgstown, March 20.

A JAIL DELIYEltt PREVENTED IS TIME IEFKCIAL TELXGKAH TO THE DISFATCn.l Corky, Pa., March 20. Chauncey Mar ble is a farmer well known in this city who operates a saw mill near. Columbus, Pa., on what is known a the Alder bottom. This morning he arrived in Corry in charge of officers, and was takeny United States de tectives to Erie, where he was committed to jail, charged with making and selling coun terfeit money. For a lone time the Govern ment officers had been satisfied that a gang of counterfeiters had been making their headquarters lu this section, and two years ago they very closely located their game, but their play was discovered, and for a time the nnest was abandoned. This seemed to frighten the gang, and there was a consider able lull in their operations. About one year ago, however, silver dol lars again came out in great numbers, and many irom the local mint were found aud recognized iu several Darts of the State and in Western and Central New York and Eastern Ohio. Last fall Detective Daniel McSweeneyand B. K. Oduyer, of Pitts burg, spent some time in this section, and the result was that Oduyer soon after appeared at Chauncey M?rble's as a tramp and hired out to work for Marble at low wages, be appearing as not very bright, and just the sort of a man a cunning crook would feelperlectly sate in hay ing around. Marble soon raid bim in coin tresli from bis own mint, and soon after, little by little, Oduyer ferreted out the whole busi ness, and secured all the evidence he was after. Mr. McSweeneyand Deputy United States Marshal Barring, of Wilkesbarre, came on a few days ago, after arranging to secure a few others connected with the gang, and last night Mar ble, with all bis dies, pots, moulds, etc, were taken into custody, and landed with him in trie to-day. Messrs. Oduyer and McSweeney confess a leeling of great satisfaction that they have at last captured the bead of a gang of counterfeiters who have long given the Gov ernment a great deal of trouble. It will be re membered that some three j ears ago Deputy Internal Collector Wilson detecteda crooked distillery running on Marble's premises. He bad a washboiler fitted up with a worm, and it was a most complete little still. He pleaded in nocence of the law, and was so childishly inno cent that he was let off, though it is not thought be will escape so easily this time. AN APPEAL FOB PEACE.

THE DEMAND FOE IRON IS BETTEli. Eeturns Fromthe Pacific Koads Swell the Eailway Earnings. EEPOETS FKOH THE LEADING CITIES fSPECIAL TELEOUAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 New Vork, March 20. Special tele grams to Sradstreet's do not point to a more active distribution of staples throughout the country than prevailed in the preceding week, or in a corresponding period a year ago. Conspicuous exceptions are at San Francisco, gs California merchants and agri culturists anticipate an exceptionally pros perous season, and at Kansas City, where sales are taid to be lsVger than last week, or the like week in 1890, notwithstanding collections are "only fair." The volume of general business at most other points is gen erally favorable, moderately active or fairly satisfactory. Iron is in slightly better demand for crude, but at unchanged prices East. The demand is relatively more active "West. Anthracite is no firmer, efforts at restricted production being a failure. Prices will probably be lower next month. The pro jected eight-hour demand in May is gaining strength among coal miners, and funds are being raised in aid of the movement Business Failures and Bank Clearings. Business failures in the United States number 179, against 200 last week and 200 this week last year. The total from Jan uary 1 to date' is 3,132 against v3,167 last year. Bank clearings at 56 cities for the week ended March 19 are 51,031,709,318, a de crease from this week last year of 4 percent At cities other than New York, the loss is 2-10 of 1 per cent Money markets very generally remain easy and rates unchanged. In regions where crops are short discounts are extended with special caution. Mer cantile collections generally are notiully satisfactory. Net railioad earnings for January, as a whole, show the heaviest gain since June last year, which is misleading until ex plained. The gain is due altogetherto large increases on the Southern, Union and Northern Pacifies. The trunk lines show less than 1 per cent increase of net over January, 18U0. E. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review says: There is found iu almost all quarters a feeling of confidence and hopefulness for the future. Prospects for the Spring Bright Though the present effect of the short crops is felt in the Northwest, the prospect for tbe coming season is exceptionally bright, and, while in some ot the chief man ufactures operations are checked by uncer tainty regarding prices, it may be expected that tbe relations between materials and finished products will soon be adjusted to the new conditions. Sales of wool at Boston, New York and Philadelphia this year thus far show an in crease over last year of 20 per cent, and still continue large. The dressgoods makers have closed the most prosperous season known, and hope for better prices pres ently. Iu knit goods some conjlain that they are carrying too large stocks, aud that margins for profits are close, but a great m.iny orders are still received. The expan sion and diversification of the manufacture leaves for foreign supply only the finer grades ol worsteds that are not made here, and even in men's wear woolens there is seen some improvement, though the de mand looks to styles rather than quality. Little Change in the Iron Trade. Tbe boot and shoe business is retarded by 'speculation in hides and leather, as prices of goods are no higher than a year ago; but while buyers are cautious they are numer ous, and the shops are fairly well supplied with orders. . The iron trade shows no change, buyers believing that as soon as the demand for consumption increases again, no strikes nor shutdowns will restrict production. Eails are stiff-r, and the demand for strnctural iron a trifle better. The glass trade is fair, with prices unchanged, and lead is firm, but copper weaker. The general average of all prices is still advancing, having risen half of 1 per cent for the past week. Eeports from Boston are that general trade iu merchandise is not active, the weather hindering. Interruption from strikes is feared Iu the boot ind shoe manu facture. Leather is quiet, buyers having supplied their needs, aud hides dull, as con sumers resist speculative advances. Reports From the Leading Chios. At Philadelphia, the iron trade is dull. and the trade in liquors and tobacco quiet; in jewelry, paints and glass, light with small collections, while in printing and leather manufacture business is better, and in chemicals fair. Pittsburg notes no chabge in iron except growing scarcity. The Monongahela coal mines are busy. At Cincinnati trade is quiet and collections fair, and at Detroit trade is very fair, equaling last year s, though country col lections pre slow. Chicago reports a de crease, compared with last year, in flour, corn, barlev, lard and butter, and a de crease of half in dressed bee'; but an in crease in oats, rye, cured meats, hides and wool. In drygoodr, clothing and boots and shoes trade is larger than a year ago, but collections not so good as they were recently. Milwaukee notes much discontent among iron miners, who have several weeks' wages unpaid, pending negotiations for the trans fer of large prODerti:s. From Centers Farther West At cities nest of the Mississippi trade is fair for the reason, except at "Kansas City, where it is dull, and in that region gener ally collections are improving. At New Orleans trade is barely fair, at Memphis lethargic with slow collections, and at Lit tle Eock money is light; but Savannah has a jubilee over receipts of 1,000,000 bales o( cotton in a year, and reports bright pros pects. The money markets are easier at most of the interior cities, including Chicago and Boston. At New York rates have changed but little 2 to 3 Der cent on cill, but there is some difficulty in obtaining com mercial loans. The Treasury has put out 52,b00,000 more money than it has taken in during the week, besides issuing 51,000,000 more silver notes. PICKED TJP BY THE POLICE.

Story of a Victim of Hydrophobia Ho Was Bitten Nine Years Ago and the Malady Returns on Each Succeeding Anniversary They Become Less Violent There was no Finance Committee meeting in Allegheny last night, but a case of hy drophobia created about as much disturb ance. The name of the victim is John Meininger. He is at present living with his brother-in-law, Henry "Wilt, at 125 First alley, Allegheny, where he still remains, the aangcrous fit having worked itself out and he is now weak and sick. The case was reported by Councilman McAuley, and the patrol wagon sent out to the number, bnt Mr. Meininger's friends refused to have him moved. John Meininger is a dealer in old iron. He travels through the oil country and burs up old rigs and cables, and sells them in Pitts burg. It was while he was passing through Butler county on the 19th of March nine years ago thai he stopped at a farm bouse to get a drink of water. A large dog attacked him, and he was bitten in a number of places. He was laid up for a time, but finally the wound healed, and it was thought he had permanently recovered. However, 8n the anniversary of each recurring year ne nas been attacked witn nyuropuooia. Sometimes the attack is worse than others, but they never last more than a few days, and though the worst part of tbe attack does not always come on the anniversary day it is never more than a few days from it. Kach year the return of the malady is preceded by a strange sickness of the stomach. The lips become dry, hard and pinched. A season of dizziness follows, and then comes a loss of all reason. He froths at the mouth, has a desire to break everything, and bites and tears anything within his reach. The violent period never lasts over a day, and each year has been growing less and less violent. On Thursday he first felt the attack com ing, but it did not reacn its height until about 6 o'clock in the evening, when he be came raving mad. He frothed at the mouth, barked like a dog, and, after kicking in the door of the house, he proceeded to tear up tbe carpets. A number of neighbors tried to hold him, but as be is only 32 years old and very powerful, they had to tie him down. Officer Burken was called to assist, but when the patrol wagon arrived the violence of the attack had so far snbsided that his friends would not have him taken away. HIS FATHER IS BETTER? Senator Neeb Defends His Amendment In Favor of the Brewers. Senator John N. Neeb reported last even ing tbat his father, who is sufiering frnm pneumonia, was slightly improved. He laughs at the charge that he suppressed in formation about his amendment to Senator Flinn's bill in favor of the brewers. Mr. Neeb says the brewers have large capital invested and have many employes dependent on them, and that their business should not be left to the discretion of a judge. If a wholesaler is refused a license he can easily turn his store into something else, but Mr. Neeb claims that a brewery is good for nothing except to make beer.
