wai a little slow.

ing one of the Lest races ever seen on the
track. The first race was the 2:38 trot, and

FOOTBALL PLAYEES MEET.
They Settle Up Old Bnslness and Talk
About the Future.
An interesting meeting of the Football
League of Western Pennsylvania was held
last evening at the Hotel Schlosser. A large
number of clubs were represented. All tho
business ot last year's league was finished
and after the work of Seoretary Macpherson
had beon warmly praised a discussion fol
lon cd on the plans for next season.
Various methods of organization were
suggested bnt that relating to the system
similar to the county baseball league wao
most favorably considered. It Is therefore
likely that an eight-club leigue will be
formed and that each club will have to put
up a forfeit as a guarantee of staying the
season out. A committee meeting will be
held at the Schlosser Saturday evening to
formulate a plan of organization.
"Wants to Back Barber.
A local sporting man called at this office
last evening and left $50 to bet that Barker
will defeat Beed in their present checker
match. The local sporting man said: "My
sympathies are with Jimmy, but I don't
think he will be a winner this time."
General Sporting Notes.
To-DAY'S races at Homewood promise to be
good.
There is a letter at this office for William Smlnk,
the ball player.
M ell. welll We've got to fifth place at last.
Hurrah for the Sluggers.
Pitnxsutawxky ball team defeated the Reynoldt
ville team yesterday by 8 to 1.
THE only Lem Uhnan Is still on deck with his
programmes, his diamonds and his smiles.
IP we can only win two to-day and the other fel
lows below us drop one or two we'll be all right.
Jack Carroll defeated Charley Flannery In a
pool game last evening br 150 to 108 for $50 a side.
W. C. Trimble, of Kewburg, N. Y., owns In
stant, the winner ofyesterday'a 2:33 trot, and Cleo
is owned by George D. Blair, of Tyrone.
It Is likely that our Sluggers will play two games
to-lay and that Baldwin and King will be the
pitchers, with Russle and Ewlng,on the other side.
Kaix stopped the Xew Tork and Pittsburg ball
game vesterdav at the end of the second Inning, the
score being 1 to 0 In New York's favor. Kaln also
prevented the Brooklyn game.
A young mill worker at Woods' run named John
Hagan wants to run Ed Klnsey, or any of the local
sprinters who are not too fast. An answer through
this paper will meet with attention.
G. P. O., Youngstown Your question is not
clearly put. If the wild throw allowed the runner
to reach third tt was an error. If the runner conld
have reached third anyhow and was thrown out be
fore reaching home it was no error.

MINOR NEWS FEOM THE THBEE STATES
rSPECTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCIt.!
Ebensbubg, Sept. 15. The interesting
fight of two wives for the insurance on the
life of "W. H. Overbeck, -who was drowned
in the flood, was heard in court here to-day.
Overbeck was living with a wife in Johns
town when he died, and it was not known
that he had two wives until another claim
ant appeared for the insurance money, in
the person 'of Mrs. Jennie Overbeck, of
Philadelphia.
The first witness examined was Mary
Overbeok, the Johnstown wife, who testi
fied that she was married to W. H. Over
beck, in Pittsburg, June 5, 1881; that her
husband had come from Philadelphia, bnt
she had always known him as a single man.
She said her husband went to Philadelphia
only once a year, and that it was to seo his
mother. They had one child and it was still
living.
Mrs. B. W. Vanzelt, a sister of Overbeck,
and J. V. Overbeck, both of Philadelphia,
weie then examined and swore that Mary
Overbeck, tne Johnstown wife, had viMted
them with her husband,and been Introduced
to his wife. The marriage certificate,' which
had been lost in the flood but found br a
mere accident, was then produced and
sworn to.
Mrs. Jennie Overbeck, the Philadelphia
woman, was then sworn and testified that
she was married to W. H. Overbeck, in Phil
adelphia, on the 26th of May, 1875, the cere
mony being performed by Bev. W. C. Bobin
son. They lived together for a time. After
her husband went to Johnstown he sent her
$20 a month for herself and children,sending
the last money a few days before being
drowned in May.
Dr. W. C. Kobinson, pastor of the Method
ist Episcopal Church, Broad street, Phila
delphia, testified that he had married Jen
nie Black to W. H. Overbeck at the time
mentioned, and Mrs. Margaret Black testi
fied to being present at tho marriage of her
daughter.
The attorneys then began argument, but
were cut short by the court, it being decided
that the tangled affair Involved some com-
Heated questions In law and that the ver
ict should be rendered by the court, the
jury being discharged. The trial involves
some $7,000 life Insurance, which the com
panies are willing to pay but do not know
wnich is tho proper claimant.

SECUBED NOTES BY HYPNOTISM.
The Signatures of Housewives Apparently
Genuine They Don't Remember Signing;.
Oil City, Sept. 15. fiectai Eeports have
been received from Dawson, several miles
np the Allegheny river, that somo time ago

notes signed by tho housewives have come
to the surface. for collection one being for
$25 and the other for $37. The signatures ap
T)ear to be genuine, but the women have no
recollection of ever having signed them,
nnd did not do so while conscious of the
fact.
Tho peddler is, therefore, credited with
having secured the notes through some

way.

When daylight is not scarce,
it is absurd to be in darkness.
If you make your purchases
at the right place you can't
make mistakes; if you make
them at the wrong place you
can't make anything but mis
takes. JACKSONS' is the
place, and no mistake about
it You may have a regard
for other people's interests,
but you certainly cannot be
expected to neglect your
own. IT IS TO YOUR IN
TERESTS that we are ap
pealing, and nothing appeals
to them more directly than
our OWN HOME-MADE
CLOTHING. They are at
the top of the ladder of
quality, and at the bottom of
the ladder of price, as the
mark on every garment
proves conclusively. We call
special attention to our line
of suits at $io, $12 and $15;
our lines of Home-Made
Overcoats, mark well the
mark $8, $10, $12 and $15;
