I SPECIAL TSLXORAX TO TH DISrATCK.
Cxxcxsnatx, March 28. The Cincinnati
League clnb organization is now in chrys
alis shape, and if the new officials are not
named to-night Monday will see the club
properly officered and all ready to enter upon
tli e j ear's campaign.
When tlie League adjourned before mid
night everything was about shaped up for a
final settlement this morning. The chances
area thousand to one that the local capital se
cured by John T. Brush and his associates will
be placed In control of Cincinnati affairs. That
means that the club will at once be organized
under the papers of incorporation se
cured some time ago by Messrs.
2C. Ashley Llovd, Clark ,D. Frost, J. C. Mason
and Jim Dawson. Tba't is the programme
"likely to be followed out. The League mag-
nates are so sure of clearing up the calendar
that they have been ticketed for the return
trip to-night
The late night session was responsible for a
delay in reassembling this morning, and it was
tioori betore the delegates were called together
to tate the last fall out or a question that has
perp'exed the local baseball world ever since
the Players' League tumbled over the back
stop into the graveyard of dead organizations.
TheNen York, lirookljn, Boston and Phila
delphia delegates return Lome tosether to
night. John 1. Brush and, in facr. all those at
ibe meeting, will leave on early tralrs. Mr.
Brush will doubtless return on Monday.
President Kramer, of tbe America.! Associa
tion, was granted a restraining order by Jndge
Bates this afternoon enj'iiumg Nick Young,
President of the League, from paying the Sib,-
UOO to Al Johnson for the Cincinnati club. The
uetiticn allegM that Young is abont to pay
Johnson the money, and the trustees, as benefi
Claries, hate not been consulted or their rights
protected. Thl is a ten-strike move on the
part of the Association to stop the payment of
the money until the application for a receiver
Is beard and a decision Is rendered. President
1 oung this afternoon said:
"This restraining ordei will have no earthly
effect on the Cincinnati club. We will have
the order modified, and it will onl keep John
son out of his mo ne lor a fe a days longer than
v as anticipated "
Among the earliest theories as to the effect
of this decision is that it Is one that will enable
the Association to obtain an order for a re
ceiver of tbe Cincinnati club, with a sale of its
effects, so that they can purchase tbe grounds
now claimed by the League club.
Brush gets tbe local team. The club will go
to Hot Springs immediately.
K ATIONAL CRICKET LEAGUE.
It Is to Be Organized and Pittsburg May Be
In the Circuit.
TSPKCIAI. TELEOKAJC TO THE DISPATCH.l
SewYokk, March 2S.M-. Thomas "Whar
ton, of Philadelphia, the projector of the
scheme to form a .National Cricket League,
which has been so enthusiastically taken up by
the cricketers of Chicago, was In New York
this week, and from the assurances of support
that he received in this city, means to go ahead
with tbe undertaking and endeavor to get it
into working order this season. It is believed
that tbe league will comprise the cities of Phil
adelphia. Baltimore Boston, Sew York, Pitts
burg, Detroit and Chicago. It was at first in
tended to arrange a regular series of games,
but tbe views expressed in The Dispatch at
tho time regarding this hate been considered
sound, and tbe suggestion then made has been
adopted by Mr. Wharton.
This is that the games be played on the tie
Srlncmle. Phradelphlanonldpla Baltimore,
ew York -Mould plat Boston and Chicago
would pla Detroit or Pittsburg; the winning
clubs iKouid meet again, the idea being to save
traveling as much as possible, wbile the final
winning club m iit bo known as the champion
team of tbe United States. The committee ap
pointed to look after the matter in Philadel
phia have been unusuall slow in settling dowzi
to work, but the energetic bustlers in Chicago
would not let them rest, and, after waiting in
vain for the Quaker City gentlemen to open
correspondence, they took the matter into
their own hands, and hate since been In com
munication with the representative cricketers
in the cities named.
Mr. Wnarton, however, is now back from
Europe, and with M. I. Work, ot the Belmont
Cricket Club, Is working energetically to place
the scheme on a firm footing in cricketing
cities throughout the country. A meeting of
those interested in the project will be called for
an early date, when it is belieted the matter
will be finally settled and tbe first series ot
games arranged. Tbe meeting will probably
take place in Philadelphia or .N ew York.
AN EXCITI5G GAME.
The 3IcKeeports Defeat the Thistles in a
Lively Foot Ball Match.
The most exciting foot ball game that has
e er taken place in or abou Pittsburg, was
that ofjesteiday at Recreation Park. Tbe
contending teams were the McKeesportand
Allegheny Thistles. The contest was one'of
the League champlonsip series and was wit
nessed by i.early LOOO people.
Before tho game bad proceeded far it was ap
parent that party feeling was extremely high
among the spectators, and as the-game pro
gressed several "rows" were threatened. Con
trary to opinions the McKeesport team won and
this tended to consideiablj dampen the cham
pionship aspirations of thelliistles. During
the first ball of the game the McKeesporters
faiied to score, and tbe Thistl-s earned one
Coal. ben the half was ended it looked as if
the Thistles were sure winners But in the sec
ond half the McKeesport kickers completely
out-stayed them and piled up four goals, while
the Thistles only scored one. 1 bus the game
ended 4 to 2 in favor of McKeesport.
Alexander Macpberson ably officiated as ref
eree, although be bad quite an unpleasant
task to perlorm. A game ttas scheduled to
take place settteen tbe Kurckaand Lawrence
Titles. The iormerdid not appear and the Law
rerilles were giten the game.
Tbe Great "Wrestling Matcli.
Interest in the Reilly-unknown wrestling
match is becoming very great. Hie contest Is
to take place next Saturday evening in a hall
to be selected this week Both men are in ex
ce'lent condition. Reilly was never in better
form in bis life and his friends are extremely
conbdent cf victory. He is a strong and cour
ageous little fellow. 'I lie unknown is also as
nt" as he can be made, and is now at weight,
135 pounds. He and his friends too think thev
cannot Icse, and as a result tbe betting is af
ready quite lively. It is to be hoped that boib
parties will do their best this week to agree on
a referee.
Peall Dcfeali Ilobeits.
:bt cahlkto the dispatch.:
Loxdo-. March 2S. The great billiard match
between Roberts andPeall.tn which the former
sought to give bis opponent l'AWO start in a
game of 1!1,000 up, was concluded to-night,
when the game stood Peall. 21,000; Robert",
2L410. Roberts has undoubtedly proved him
self a far and away champion of billiards, with
tbe spot stroke barred.but that vas well known
lefore- His defeat has not excited much sym
pathy, Peall being much more popular both
with professionals and tbe public
It Looks Suspicions.
tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
London, March "JS. There is a suspicion
that the match between Jem Smith and Ted
Pritchard to box for 1,000 is a shady one.
Naturally no reliance is placed upon Smith,
who has been proved one of the biggest frauds
ever produced, and why Pritchard should seek
a match with such a man, to whom be must
gtvo nearly 30 ponnds in weight, when there arc
other boxers nearer his own weight ready to do
battle, is a puzzle to all stralglitlorward sports
men. Tim affair is to be brought off in four
months' time.

Team This Season.
tconntsrosDEci or the dispatch.
Net York, March Si It has been, a great
week in the workings of the whirling world.
Mr. Twohase Great form came to town and re
ported to his club for the season of 189L
Mr. Greatform spent the winter in Jayville.
where he had a lucrative clerkship in a black
smith shop. When bis clnb manager wrote to
him a few weeks ago and made a request that
he should report promptly, six suns after St.
Patrick's day, Mr. ;Qreatfonn wrote "back for
tho price of transportation. He explained that
bis winter earnings had all been Invested in
poorhouse preferred bonds, and were not
available tor car fare.
I was at the depot to welcome Mr. Greatform
when he arrived. Tbe gentleman appeared
somewhat rocky on account of his inability to.
get much sleep in an npper bertn of the smok
ing car. Having grown bald-beaded in the
service of the ball field, ne was unable to get a
scalper's ticket, and, though a first-class player,
be was forced to travel second-class or walk
quite a distance.
Mr. Greatform never felt better, in his life.
He is in superb condition, and will not bave to
wurk off more than 40 ponnds to get down to
his playing weight He will probably play the
came of his life. Such at least is bis present
intention. He believes his club will surely win
the championship, if the umpires give him half
a chance on balls and strikes. It should not be
forgotten that Mr. Greatform's arm which
troubled him last season is as good as it ever
was, if not better; nor that he has not touched
a drop of liquor since last Saturday. His eyes
are rnddy: his cheeks are blue and be seems to
be -tbe very you-touch-the-button-we-do-the-rest-of
health.
High-priced Hitembard writes that he cannot
possibly report before next Monday, as he has
jnst purchased a railroad and will bave to lift a
few of the first mortgages and refund some of
the bonded indebtedness.
Phenomenal Outcnrve is expected to-morrow.
Last Saturday he led to the altar Miss
Brldgie Gilhooly, the belle of Onion Cross
roads, where she moved in tbe best squares ot
society. Mr. and Mrs. Oatcurve have rented a
cottage in Harlem and will keep house until
the blasters compel them to vacate.
The entire team will meet on Monday at the
grounds, when Captain Cantlosa will take
charge and give them instructions. He will in
sist on every man doing his duty whether they
will or not, and will demand harmony. The first
member of the team caught in an attempt to
blow ud a comrade with gun cotton or dynamite
will be fired.
AH these things, and many more of like inter
est, have been broken to the public in gentle
doses by tbe dally local papers.
And now all we bave to do is to contain and
restrain our swelling souls for jeeverai weeks
while Greatform. Hitembard. Outcnrve, Cant
lose and tbe res. of tbe darlings get into par ex
cellent condition to open up tbe championship
season. Then we'll bear the umpire yell: "Play
fetreek Ball tree Y'ou's out What's thatT
Fine you tenf
And tbe coacber's buzz-saw voice will make
tbe grand stand rafters rattle with "Hi, there,
Jiiol Now you're off I Git-a-move-on-yef
Look out! whoa Take more room Go!
Come back; slide! Ah. w bo's holding j erf
Never touched him, Phil I say he didn't!
That's all right; why don't you make it fifty
You onghter be shoveling coal Instead of tryin'
to umpire You give me distress in my kid
neysbee!" i Perhaps the "audience" mar take a hand
occasionally and bandy remarks like these.
"Now, Roger, a home run three strikes?
Well! Well! Well! Ob, you old stiff on third!
Better put glue on your fingers. Say, Cap,
where did you get that dub out in the ficlttT
Trv ilddlewinks. Kill de umpire. Robber!
Thief i Mafia! Wow, wow, wowf
Before I forget it let me say that Bmythe
Skyscraper of last year's O'Neillets is still dis
engaged. He has had 13 offers from managers,
but doesn't want to be too hasty in signing. He
would like to hear from a fourteenth club
which is in need of a first-class player.
Mr. Skycraper has been at Hot Springs all
winter, and is entirely cured ot bis very bad
case of rheumatism wblcb be contracted last
summer by remaining out too long in the night
air. A great many ball players contract
rheumatism during their travels around the
country in tbe summer, and are compelled to
go to Hot Springs to boil it out. A ball-player
with the rheumatism is of no account to him
self or bis close acquaintances.
Mr. Skyscraper said that be met Al Johnson
at the Springs. Al came tho day before Sky
scraper left, and bad taken one bath. It
seemed to do Mr. Johnson some good, and he
thought he wouli be in splendid form by the
16th prox.
Mr. Johnson contracted his rheumatism by
contact with tbe cold ground on which he was
thrown so often during the winter, to say
nothing ot the changi of baseball localities In
which be has been residing of late.
All these things have given me a pain, too,
and I may hav to go to Hot Springs or Cold
Springs to soak it out.
And now we have the Gladiator and Gentle
Jeems added to your collection ot surprise
stars. Well, all I've got to say is the other
clubs must keep a weathsr eye cocked toward
Hanlon's men. That team Is liable to make
trouble for the sure pennant winners. It the
pitcher will do what is expected of them the
Plttsburgs will be in it right up near the front.
And what a queer sensation that will be for
you folks who live and have your existence at
the junction of tbe Allegheny aud Monongabela
rivers!
The anticipation of such things is calculated
to spoil the fond memory of the 115 heroes of
last season weren't there 115 ot tbemf There
was something of that denomination belonging
to your last year's club, I am sure.
Pardon eccentricities this week. I took an
overdose of Rough on Grip. O. P. Catlob.
PEIDDY'S REPLY.
The Pittsburger "Willing to Ran Darrin,
hnt "Wants Time to Train.
Peter Priddy called at this office yesterday,
and left the following reply to the challenge of
Harry Darrin, whicb appeared in yesterday's
Dispatch:
-In reply to Harry Darrin I wish to state
that I am quite willing to rnn him a race of
three miles in Pittsburg for $300 a'slde. If he
chooses to run here I will allow reasonable ex
penses. Bnt 1 will emphatically decline to run
sooner than two months after the signing
articles, because I have been sick for some
time. Darrin is a good man and I cannot think
of running him, except I am allowed ample
time to get into good condition.
"But Mr. Darrin ought to put up a forfeit if
he means business. If he will do that and for
ward signed articles of agreement to me a
match may be made. 1 wish it distinctly un
derstood, however, that I won't run him sooner
than eight weeks after signing articles."

Portlaxd, Okk., March 23. Jim Hall, of

ject of an offer of Grant Bros., of Astoria, of a
517,000 purse to be fought for by Hill and Fitz
Simmons. Tbe Astoria men deposited the full
amount of coin in tbe First National Bank of
this city to-day.
Shortly after tbe arrival of Hall and Harris
the latter deposited 2,500 as forfeit money for
Hall with responsible parties. These prelimi
nary arrangements are considered binding, and
tbe fight will probably take place two months
from date.
A Letter From Hawkins.
Ed Smith, the Denver pugilist, now in this
city, received a letter from Billy Hawkins, the
lightweight champion of the West yesterday.
In the letter Hawkins terms lack McAullife a
"coward," and he (Hawkins) declares his will
ingness to fight any lightweight in tbe world
for a 4,000 or 5,000 purse. Hawkins argues
that Smith would have defeated Godfrey had

either Hall or Fitzsimmons. '
A Good Baseball Guide.
A copy of "Spalding's Official Baseball
Guide" has been received at this office. Tbe

tbe guides ot previous years, and that speaks
volumes for its excellence- It is brimful ot
that class of interesting matter that all base
ball patrons delight to read. The little volume
is, indeed, a great one.

Sporting Notes.
From first to last, law has not been a good
friend to the League.
Ed Swartwooo left for Sioux City yesterday
to Join the ball team there.
The Cincinnati decision Is not by any means a
knockout for tbe League in that city.
THE benefit entertainment for rat Parrell will
face place in Laylon's lUnk at Braddock.
Jim Barnes wants to tight i.nke Holland, of
Solio, at catchw eight, for a purse or a stake.
ItfE local team of ball players were in a railroad
wreck near Jacksonville yesterday. Nobody was
hurt.
Pat Kartell's benefit at Braddock will take
Elace Friday evening. He deserves a "biz"
ouse.
IF Brnth and Johnson Ret the Cincinnati club
between them they'll soon haveexcallent grounds
and will be winners.
Ir the Cincinnati ball grounds are to be sold at
auction, surely the League has as much money as
the Association to bny tuein.
Jimmy Williams, writing in the Sporting
Time, says that the outfield of the Pittsburg clnb
is one of the greatest In the country.
IT is sild that Marcus Cartwrlght, who has

SPECIAL TELEOSAM TO TUX OISFATCH.l
Harrisburg, March 28. Governor Pat
tison to-night 'said that the visit of Dr.Orth,
of this city, to.the cell of Joseph Nicely wag
not by his direction. The Governor has not
taken any action on the application for the
respite of the murderer, and will not likely
interfere with the execution of Joseph
Nicely'a death "warrant. The evidence of
the latter's alleged .insanity is not sufficient
ly conclusive 'to" justify the Governor in
staying the execution, and as to the guilt of
the Nicely brothers, nothing has been pro
duced to convince him that they were
wrongfully convicted. Governor- Beaver
spent several months Investigating the case
before his successor was inanurated,and he
is said to bave been of the opinion, as the re
sult ot his inquiry.-that tbe Nlcelys were guilty
ot tbecrlme tor wblch they are to be hanged
next Thursday. '

Joe continues to play the insanity dodge,

The Proposed Cession of Gambia by Eng
land Not Favorably Received.
rST DUKLAF'S CABLE COMPANt.l
Paris, March 28. Mr. Soller, a South
ern river delegate to the Superior Colonial
Council, being interviewed to-day on the
cession of Gambia to France as compensa
tion for the Newfoundland fishery rights,
put forward in the English papers, said:
"Tbe qnestion of the Newfoundland fishery
treaties is precise and formal. Newfound
land is nnable to dispute onr rights to arbi
tration. Whether it results to our advant
age or not, it will not affect the right to fish.
In order to prevent a conflict in .future be
tween tbe French and Newfoundland fisher
men, the English papers suggest as a solu
tion of tbe difficulty the cession of Gambia
in exchange (or tbe rights of Newfoundland.
That compensation is insufficient.
"Gambia is an insulate territory, sur
rounded by our possessions, and is or no im
portance; in fact, it is nearly mined. It
has no value in itself, and wbuld not even
be of valne to augment the colony of Sene
gal. Without doubt there should be a sup
plementary compensation, as a recompense
to the 10,000 fishermen who would receive
only about tbe prodnct of a single year's
industry, and in tbe followine year inevita
ble ruin would come to them."
A SOCIALIST AGENT.
He Is a Deserter and Carried Mrs. Parson's
Portrait Next His Heart.
BY CABLE TO TUX DISPATCH.!
London, March 28. Early this week" the
police arrested in London William Mow
bray, a deserter from the Norfolk Regiment,
and in the conrsc of their inquiries learned
facts which caused considerable perturba
tion in high quarters. It has been ascer
tained beyond doubt tbat Mowbray entered
the army for tbe express purpose of further
ing the Socialist propaganda. His father
is a very prominent Socialist, and Mowbray
was arrested when leaving the headquarters
ofEastEud Socialism.
In a bag which he wore next his heart he
carried a portrait of Mrs. Parsons, of Chi
cago, and a card engraved with the em
blems of the Universal Solidarity of Labor.
Mowbray was taken before a magistrate to
day and committed to prison to await au
escort from his regiment. The military
authorities are thoroughly alarmed and in
quiry will be at once instituted, with a
view to discoyer other Socialist emissaries
in tbe army. Mowbray will be dealt with
by conrt martial.
THE WAS Hi CHILE.
An Effort to Have the United States and
England Stop It.
TBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, March 28. The prolongation
of the civil war in Chile causes serious
alarm to the British capitalists who have
large interests in that country. Among
them are Colonel North, the Nitrate King,
and bis courtiers. Efforts were made last
week to indnce Lord Salisbury to propose
to the United States Government joint dip
lomatic interference, backed by a threat of
the seizing of the insurgent warships by the
British squadron. Salisbury wisely de
clined to have anything to do' with the sug
gestion, a decision due no doubt in. some
measure to the fact that it was favored by
Lord Randolph Churchill, whom he has no
cause to love.
There is reason to believe, however, that
similar efforts are about to be made in
Washington in tbe belief that Mr. Blaine
will prove more pliable than Lord Salis
bury. A HENEIETTA SUCCESS.
Bronson Howard's Play Enthusiastically
Secetved in London.
BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
LOJTDON, March 28. Bronson Howard's
"Henrietta" was produced at tbe Avenue
Theater to-night before a crowded and en
thusiastic audience. The fine subtleties of
stock gambling were not followed by the
English andience with the quick perception
which distinguishes tbe American play
goers, mainlybecause the vast majority of
the English public knows little of stock
operations, but the tragic and comic scenes
were followed with most vivid interest and
the actors' efforts were rewarded with un
stinted applause.
Being in Lent, the andience was not
aristocratic, but many noted English play
wrights were there. Mr. Howard was called
before the curtain at the close and was
loudly cheered. The concensus of opinion
is that the success of the play was assured.

Of La Grippe Can Be Eradicated
From the System,
the proper Method.
The dreaded La Grippe, whicn has again
made Its appearance in Pittsburz. Chicago and
other parts of the country. Is nothing more or
less than a catarrhal lever. It is no sew
tronble. and belongs dlstinotlrely to that faml
ilr of diseases In wnlcb Drt. Copeland and
Blair's treatment naa won distinction by Its se
ries of snecessf al results.
It differs from the more typical cases of ca
tarrh, in tbat the marked neryous depression
which prevails is ont of proportion to.tne erar
.lty of tbe catarrhal symptoms. In the majority
of cases wbere tbe results hre been serious tbe
patient bas been a snlferer from chronic ca
tarrh which left tbe system so weakened by its
stealthy action tbat it was in no condition to
withstand the attack of La Grippe. We be
lieve there are comparatively few instances
wbere people free from catarrhal affections
bare felt any of tbe effects of La Grippe.
In almost every case tbe disease leaves a Sys
temic catarrhal condition, indicating by Its
action systemic poisoning, resdltlnjr in chill,
headache, great depression of both mental and
physical strength and energy coupled with the
usual catarrhal aystoros.
Nearly every case of La Grippe renders" tho
patient liable to cbronic bronchitis, wblcb in
variably leads to consumption. There is no
qnestion but at ibis season ot tbe year, when
-the disease is known to De prevalent, people
should take means to check the progress of
catarrhal troubles, and if possible eradicate
