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. Mr. Dodds then
went In and ran the game out amid rounds or,
applause. Follow nig ere the scores:

evening bcsiou of the tournament. Burns and'
Bosberthad a most exciting contest, see-sau-lng
all through lor lead. Both plajers were
frequently greeted with applause for especially
brilliant shots. The came between Dodds and
Cline was also ver close aud interesting. It
was especially so at the close when Cline made
some long runs and it looked as though he
might null uo on the leader. The game lasted
until 1:15 this morning.

PRESIDENT KRAMEE'S VIEWS.
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.

COULDKT CATCH BEIXLY.
The Sew Third Baseman Talks Very Flalnly
to Manager Gas Schmelz.
Gus Schmelz, the manager of the Columbus
club, was not at all successful in his mission of
trying to Induce Third Baseman Kcilly to act
dishonorably. Schmelz, aided in bis very
questionable work by Elmer Smith, the pitcher
who wanted to play here succeeded in getting
a clandestine interview with Mr. Itcllly, but to
the honor and credit nf the latter ho refused to
follow the example of O'Connor.
Mr. Rcilly, whosoiar has proved himself a
gentleman, was very plain and honest with
Schmelz. The latter was informed that he.
Keilly, would certainly return to Columbus if
the Columbus club officials could prove that
the had not violated their contract with him.
Mr. Ki'illy further pointed out to Schmelz in
verj plain terms that he could not see how tho
Association clubs were going to pay all the big
salaries that they were arranging to pay. In
short, Mr. Reilly took an honorable and sensible
view of the situation, and this completely
floored the schemer from Columbus.

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.
Impartial Action on the Coke Dispute Taken
by Fairchance Citizens.
ntrjECIAL TELEQILUl TO THE DISPATCH.!
Fairchance, March 20. A public meeting
of the citizens of Fairchance nnanimously
adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, The time has arisen in the
present stase of affairs wben those not directly
Interested in the conflict between employes
and employers shall publicly express their
opinions, and endeavor by all honorable and
fair means to bring about a speedy and satis
factory settlement of the same; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we, tbe business men of Fair
chance. and citizens in general wonld suggest
tbat all uninst criticisms, ungcntlemanly re
marks, or unkind acts between the contending
parties cease, and tbat each accord to the
other as much right as he would himself ex
pect and o this end we would recommend all
operators to yield to their workmen the right
of preserving their organization intact and not
force into their company obnoxious or un
worthy persons who, under ordinary circum
stances, wonld not be employed at any price
this right being reserved by every fraternal
order in existence to-dav, and this being, as we
understand, tbe chief difference between the
employers and their men, we think It could be
easily remedied by tbem acceding to what we
feel confident they would demand if their situa
tions were reversed. In return lor this, wben
directed bv tbe proper officers, we would
earnestly advise the workmen to resume work
quietly and continue so to do to the best ad
vantage of tneinselves and their employes,
leaving aside all old grievances, real or
imaginary, and all pull together for their com
mon welfare, and they can rest assnred, both
parties will have the hearty sj mnatby of this
meeting and of tbe entire community.

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.

v BARKED LIKE'A DOG.
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.
