- THE PITTSBTJElGr DISPATCH, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. '3891; VICTORY EVERY DAY. Dcideger Meeting With Great Suc cess With His Trotters on the German Tracks. A GREAT MATCH RACE ARRANGED. Cnr Local Baseball Team Eetnrn From Chicago and Talk About Their Treatment There. THET WILL TACKLE TIIE REDS TO-DAT. Clearwater Issues a Sweepicf rool Challenge .General Sporting News ef the Day. Local patrons of trotting and trotting horsciwill be interested to hear from Joe lleidcger, who has been inGermany for some time training and driving trotting horse. Yesterday the sporting editor of this paper received a very interesting letter from Joe, nnd the letter shows that the ex I'ituhurgcr is doini; extremely well and lliat trottintr in Germany is becoming ex ceedingly popular. "U'lien Joe wrote the letter he was in Iierliu and has for some time past had the very best kind of luck with his horses. A bundle of procraimues. which he also for warded, pliow that he is daily winning from 1 to 3 races. The German press is also be ginning to draw attention to his good horses and also to his splendid driving so that Joseph seems to be on the highway to great tuccess. He states that the day before he wrote the letter he sti.ued his mare Blue BelL She conceded al' the other horses consider able start and won in a jog. Bine Bell has done so well that a match race i to take place lietween her and Basique Bonita for tfiOO marks. They are the two fastest borses in the country and Blue Bell is to have .TO meters start. Hardeger noes on to say that Bonita trotted a half over the Ber lin track in lrftto,, and her record over a halt-mile track is 2:18i He continues: "The Rnssian horses here arc creat. Yesterday I saw one of them at work and he went the mile easily in 2:2214, with nothing but working shoes on. 2so attention is paid here to shoeing, nor do thev as a rule boot a horse. Amid all this it is surprising to find that these Bus-nan horses never break. The track here is the finest I hae ever seen. There is none in America that can eompare with it. Trot .iiii; races and trotting horses are becoming extremely popular throughout this country. I think I will spend about two months in Pittsburg next winter, although Germany is good enough for me." SOKE HISTORICAL BETS. Interesting Reminders of the Old-TImo Vlunscrs of the Turf. It is quite probable that there are just now no men who gamble quite so heavily, except in stocks, a did the plungers' in the early part of the century. There were in England a do7en men who made $230,000 -looks" on the Ierby alone, and as late ns i'Wii bookmaker" bet $.V:0 000 to $5,000 jigainst each of thiee horses In one race. In 1543 the owner of the Derby favorite "hacked" him publicly to win $730,000, be sides, the amount of his private bets The rlnof bookmakers'" raid to one circle of bettors S1.0-OOUO when "Lecturer" won the C"-.irwitch. The on ner of more than one Herhv winner collected frfM.OOO on the next Rpttlimr day. and in several other years would have pocketed $1 000,000 ir their colts had been "first past the post." M(htniciiwlio'iow have the money and the "neivc" to make such enormous bet- hai-c Riven up hore roc ins in liivor ot a panic which has still hlithcr possibilities, and instead of waerim; $500,000 ou a horso and cilliujr it gambling thc deposit the amc amount as "marsin" in a stock specula tion unit call it business Although indi viduals do not lay such heavy waser as were i-onietimcs made by the "plungers" of old, much more mono is watered now than was risked 00 years uko The difference is that, while then one man bet $100,000. now ten men each bet $2010, and tho totnl amount wagered Is doubled, of single bets made on American horse races the following in tancesnretnken from the records: Hamilton bet Walton $1J.iki to $1000 :traiiit "Ulrntlc;" llaiislitiin. bet Kellv 2f.ng0 to $5,0.X aRi'nst "Ilenlopen:" Applebv and Johnson net 1. l.orill.ml ll.OTrt lo $l.O01 ncalnst rirarro,"' and JiVOOO to $j0ml against -I.co" in the same race. In each of these casus it is prooable that tho owner--, lisked ton times these amounts on each of tin- races, as the bets above stated wen nly made with one "bookmaker." 77ie Forum. THEY ABE HOME AGAIN. Our Sluggers Return From Chicago nnd Stromjly Denounce Umpire JlcCjuald. After their exciUns; performance at Chi cago our Milkers have returned heme again. To a man they declare that rfbvcr was a team of ball players nioic unfairly treated than theiis w. is in Chicago by Umpire Mc-Qu-iid. Thcplaveis could not be morn em jihatleon this point, and they stafe defi nitely that McQuaid is no longer flt to act ns an umpire. Manaser McGnnnhrle talks very plainly Stlimit the matter. He claims that w liether JIc(uaid ni'Mtit to give his townsman, Ail-oil all tho Rames or not, the fact remains iliat hi decisions were the most unfair that lieOIcGunnhrlc) has seen during his entire Twiseball experience. McQuaid insisted that every ball IJaldw in pitched should cut tho plate clean in the center. AH close do Cisitim. were given to Chicago, and also mam that were not close. Tho Chicago team ras allowed to take ail tho liberties th choe, and nothing was said to them. Altogether, Manager McGunnijrle docs not Ill-saute to-av that MiQnaid could not con ceal the tact that he is extremely anxious to have the Chicago win even- game they phly between iin and the end ot tho season. Friday's gaum has hi en protested and Jlatiager Met. nnuiglc claims that it should be thrown out. Our tinkers will tickle the Cincinnati ltcds this .iftcmoon, ami as is always the cse when Lath:iri nnd hi- men are here, the name w ill likely be a livclv one. It is prob able thai Ktnir will Ditch fnrtim linnn, mnin. nnd Mullauc lor the visitors. There is sure to he considerable interest centered in tho present series, as the local team have still a chance tor tilth place, as the Cleveland", have to tace the Chicagos for three gamos. Then, are two interesting features in tho two series. It 1'itisburg can defeat the Reds, nnd the Cleveland-, are beaten, thou tho local team iniiv step up to fljtli place. If tho I'ittsburt's w m and the Clevelands also win, then the Chicago may drop to second place, which will make matter vcrv exciting, in deed. Tlie local pUueis, at "any rate, are determined to do tlicir b.st to beat the Cin cinnati team. A Chicago Opinion. Tlio follow ing i- the opinion of the Chi cago .Vuni.ni .Veiv. regarding JlcQuaid's woik.'vcn in Tiiursday5gamo: "Mr. McQuaid is one of the best umpires in the countiy, hut he occasionally has lii "viT" days and yesterday was his occa sional. He was not any too accurate on balls and itnkes and tw o or three of his other de cisions wei-e positively egregious. Ho gave tchrhern thiec-liaggcr in tho fourth inning rai a hit that was two feet foul: he celled Baldwin ontat first in I lie same inning w-hen Baldwin bent the ball Inr enough to turn nmuiiiland watch Anson catch it. Then he did not gueCoikliilin b-ibc when he was hit in- a pitched hull, ami there were other Hmi'.iiliiMi hi woik was questioned. AH Jhi-.sc things conspired to worl. tho Pittsburg-, up toa ferment that was compatible with lne weather, which is saying a good doll. T!ie ra cd as hard as thev dared, but till to n purpose. And in the meantime Anson was working Just as hard, only from a dlllVreiit kind of inspiration. He was nrtrr everything in sight, and instead of having his sense ot Justice touched by the deci-ions against the Pittsburjrs he made even kick his tortile mind could invent in order to c-iusi- the umpire to believe ho was oirending both sides equally. Poor McQuaid was in a hot box aud it is no wondur he made mistakes.' SATURDAY'S BALL GAMES. The League.

Only a nickel was found on him. tvane was a Hercules In build, but of a quiet disposition, and the wounds on the scalp nnd fractured skull show clearly that considerable force was used to kill him.

Conscious of Her Strength the Republic Becomes Confident. . A STATUE OP GEX. PAIDHERBE UMEItiED Parts, Sept. 27. Foreign Minister Bibot at Paunee to-day unveiled a statue of General Faidherbe. After paying a tribute to the military virtues of the General as an example to the army, ho traced the phases of the Bepublic since dts foundation, and said : "Henceforth she Is the" mistress of her own destiny. Her position has been consolidated through adhesion to the principles of prudence and modera tion. Europe, whose attitude was for some time uncertain, lias at length rendered France justice. A sovereign far sighted in pacific designs nnd as firm as France has publicly manifested the deep sympathies uniting the two countries 'cries of "Vive La Czar; Vive La Kussie." and the Iiussian nation has joined the Czar m extending cordial friendship to France. 5cou know how well these senti ments are reciprocated. The Cronstadt in cidents found an echo in the smallest of our hamlets as much js in our Government spheres. FREXCII SAILORS MADE WELCOME. "Nevertheless thev have not caused ns to forget what went before and what followed. Our hearts have been touched by the senti ments of friendship extended to the French sailors. "Wherever they went they found France respected, as was seen in thedemon strations in their honor in Denmark and Sweden, and finally at Portsmouth, where Queen Victoria received them in person and accorded them an imposing, conrteous wel come. "These events have made an impression on the whole world that will not be eflaced. France has felt that She is becoming herself in re-entering the European equilibrium as an indispensable factor offering an addi tional guarantee of peace. From this state of things a new situation has sprung, but it does not mean a new policy. It is not a moment when we are in a position to culti vate peace with dignity. We shall re expose ourselves in mak'sng a compromise. CONFIDENT OF THE FUTURE. "France, conscious of her strength, is confident in the future, and will continue to show the qualities of prudence and sang froid whereby she has gained the esteem of other people." Cheers. Ata subsequent banquet M. Kibot m alluding to the 'entente with ltussia, said that the Government had completed a work begun by its predecessors upon a point of the highest importance to the future des tinies of France, effecting a change in the position which the nation occupied in Europe. Shouts of "Vive Ribot " It was a great honor to the Ministry to have shared in such events and to have paved the way for them in accord with Parliament and public opinion. "The time for the collaboration of the Chambers and the Government," he added, "is approaching. Whatever happens, we have the knowledge that we have worked well and placed ourselves heart and soul at the service of the republic." Prolonged cheers. - THE FRENCH WILL EAT P0HK. The nog Prohibition Is Sore to Bo With drawn Next Month. Paris, Sept 27. When the Chambers resume legislative work next month the efforts of Mr. Iteid, the American Minister, to secure the withdrawal of the pork prohi bition are certain to be crowned with suc cess. The Committee of the Senate will give immediate attention to the bifl passed by the Chamber of Deputies. In official circles the opinion prevails that the rescind ing of German pork prohibition was accel erated by the vote of the French Chamber of Deputies; that Germany, seeing that the French Government had "resolved to with draw the French prohibition, seized the chance afforded by the postponement of the French bill to get ahead in complying to the American demands. The Brazilian Government has approached M. Ribot in regard to the projected pro hibitive tariff on coffee fixed under Meline's report and approved by the Chnmber of Deputies at lfX? francs per hundred kilo grams. Prazjl takes annually 00,000,000 francs worth of French products, and among the leading arguments that will be used to induce the Senate to modify the proposed tariff is the danger of Brazil retaliating a result which would aid the American scheme to capture the Brazilian markets. Killed by a Falling rintform. ' Ghestt, Sept. 27. An accident, resulting in the killing of several persons and the in jur ng of many others, occurred at a charity fete held in this city to-day. A platform erected forthe occasion became overcrowded and the manager and a number of workmen went underneath to make an examination, in order to ascertain whether the structure was likely to withstand the strain. Sud denly the whole platform collapsed. The men "underneath were crushed to death, and many who were on the platform were seri ously injured. r A British Steamer Ilnrned. Lokdok, Sept 27. At 4 this morning a fire broke out in the freezing room 'of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Home which was in her dock at Greenock, where she was undergoing alterations. The fire rapidly sained headway. Fifty btate rooms on the main deck "were de stroyed, and it is feared that the whole steam is doomed. All the workmen's tools on board the vessel were lost. It is esti mated that amount of damage done will reach 30,000. China in an Ilnmble Attitude. Berlin, Sept. 27.-The Chinese Ambas sador has had a protracted conference with the Foreign Minister, to whom he imparted a conciliatory note similar to that communi cated to M.

THE COBDEX CI.UB DENIES THAT IT IS HELPING CAMPBEIX. President Thomas Bailey Potter Says the Story Is Absolutely False No TJteratnre Even Is Being Sent to This Conntry at Present London, Sept. 27. The New York Her ald conespondent has cabled the following to his paper: The extraordinary charge that the Cobden Club has raised a secret fund of $l,000,000to bo used in bribing Ohio voters and securing the defeat of Major McKinley has just been cabled over to England from American newspapers. I immediately went to see Thomas Bailey, Potter, M. P., head of the Cobden Club, and he was glad of an opportunity to deny the story. "This charge against the Cobden Club," he said, "is utterly false. It is simply made to gammon voters into supporting Major McKinley at the polls. But it s certain to do a great deal of harm in stir ring up a feeling of hatred against Great Britainnnder the supposition that there is a conspiracy to corrupt the people nnd be tray them in the interests of British manu facturers. I have just heard that charge that the Cobden Club has a secret fund of 51,000,000, which it is using to bribe voters in una "It is nuite true that nn to 1879 I caused a largo number of leaflets on the subject of YVAA tvnfl. 4a 1.a A.A..lnlJ ! &..!.... T i. buG iu uc uivujiLicu iu jiuienuu. x had the strongest faith in the common sense of Americans, and we all believed they would be glad to receive from Great Britain some light upon the beneficial re sults which followed the adoption of the free trade policv here. We may have sent 200,000 of these leaflets in all, but that is the only effort we have ever made across the water. "Why should we attempt to bribe Ameri can voters : wenaveworlc enough to do ln'Oiir own country without interfering with the affairs of foreign countries. I can't con ceive how any reasonable human being could for a moment listen seriously to these stories. We believe here in England that the Deople of the United States are quite capable of managing their own interests, and would very properly resent any at tempt on the part of outsiders to meddle in American politics. "We believe that farmers are already be ginning to see the truth. If Mr. McKinley bhould be elected to govern Ohio it would be regarded in England as a great victory for the economic idea which he represents and would cause a great deal of joy among English statesmen who advocate fair trade as opposed to free trade. In other words, it would stimulate the English high .tariff party. It is not in America alone that the masses must be vigilant. If the landlords in England had a chance they would clap a duty on cereals and by shutting out competition would raise tho price of their harvests and so in crease rents. Free trade has put the En lish agricultural laborer in a better position than the agricultural laborers of America or any other country."

An American Lady Becomes a Catholic to Marry an Austrian Lieutenant New York, Sept. 27. A romantic court-, ship which began at Austrian, Spa., just two years ago will end in a wedding in this city early iu December. The bride elect is Miss Cora Calm, daughter of Mr. Henry Cahn, the millionaire importer of No. 157 Sixty-third street and tlie bridegroom is Lieut Herr Oscar Von Calm of the ninth Hussars, Aide de Campe o.f Hereditary Duke Ferdinand Este, who "will succeed the present Emperor Franz Joseph on the throne of Austria. What will surprise Miss Calm's friends and coreligionists- is the fact that she will renounce her faMh and become a communicant af the Catholic Church, to which her intended husband belongs. The history of the courtship teems, with romance. It was a case of love at first I sight. Miss Cahn and Lieutenant Von Calm met at Baden, a fashionable watering place near Vienna, a year ago last summer. Duke Ferdinand and the mother of the groom for a long time objected to the match, but at last gave in to the entreaties of the young man. The young lad v's par ents have no objection to her choice, but did not like the idea of her renouncing her faith. THE FI3E RECORD.

Contimeed from first page. to express his opinion on this subject. The Governor will have to take the responsi bility for his action in this matter, and the Senate will be called upon to act as a jury. While I havea very decided opinion on the necessity and propriety of the call for an extra session, I do not think any Senator should go so far as to prejudge the cases of the men charged with misconduct in office. A Senator Shouldn't Commit Himself. "I do not find any fault with the action of the Governor," he continued, "for the Con stitution gives him that right, but you can appreciate the fact that no Senator should in advance express an opinion." It was suggested to the Senator that no opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused was wanted, so much as an ex pression as to the expediency of the procla mation as a move in politics. To tnis he replied: "I have no opinion to offer." Postmaster McKean had his coat off and was ridding the drawer's of his desk of superfluous papers, in anticipation of the move to the new building. He was exceed ingly pleasant, but had nothing to say as to the wisdom of Pattison's move. "I have not even read the proclamation," he said as he mopped off the perspiration, but I have heard the boys talking about it all day. Just say that I am too busy to say anything about it," he continued, as he littered the floor with an other batch of defunct documents. Ex-Postmaster John B. Larkin said. when questioned as to the probable results of the move, that he would not like to say much about it He became warmed upon the subject, however, and talked freely. Earfcln Sustains the Governor. "lam not in the habit of talking on State politics," said the ex-postmaster, "but after reading the proclamation carefully, I am satisfied that the action taken was the proper thing to do. Those under the Governor, should give a proper nccount of their con duct They are responsible to him. Those people McCamant, Boyer and Livsey are open to suspicion by the charges and developments of the newspapers, and if they are honest men they ought to court an investigation. The people ought to know the facts and have a rigjit to demand a hearing. The investigation should be above party politics, and if prop erly conducted will have no political effect Pattison, I do not imagine is that sort of a man. If there is no ground for these suspicions, tho call and results would only hurt the Demo cratic party. If the accounts are found to be correct, the result cann'otbut help the Re publican party. Governor Pattison thinks we ought to have honest servants in office, and seems to be just as willingto investigate Democrats as Republicans. Personally, all information I receive is from the news papers. I have no interest in the matter, save my interest in the success of the party, and as a citizen and taxpayer, but I cannot help thinking that the Governor is a very sincere and upright man. Nearly everybody thinks that there is something wrong with the treasury accounts. No Politics About It. "Some people want to warp this into a political question," said Mr. Larkin with much earnestness, "bnt these people do not know what they are talking about. The question is not whether a man is rich or poor, but whether he is a thief or an honest man. The enquiry is perfectly proper as to the character and morals of public servants, and their honesty. It should be known that public money rfs properly expended. I do not want to reflect on Mr. Livsey, but he, above all other people, knows about treasury methods. He has been connected with the Treasury as Treasurer and cashier for 12 years and has a knowledge no other man can have. He has been a trusted city and State official for 20 years, and knows all about the books and money where it can be placed to bring the best results. I think that if he will not return and testify there ought to be some means to bring him. He owes it to the State and his jiarty friends to come home and testify. "Tht Senate ought to give a fair hearing to the men accused and render a verdict on tho merits of the case, without regard to politics." . William Flinn, whose opinion on matters political are much songht after, was not at home. He is in Philadelphia. Mayor Gourley had not carefully read the proclamation, and carefully evaded per tinent questions concerning its wisdom or political significance. PREPARING THE WAY. Major TTormnn, of the Democratic Societies, Busy Arranging for the Convention Tho List of Clubs Is a Large One. Major John D. Worman, of Harrishnrg, Secretary of the Democratic Societies of Pennsylvania, was a busy man yesterday, although it was Sunday.

Millyille, N. Y., Sept. 27. Tliis morn ing Ambrose Parr went up into the garret at his home, No. 40 Garfield street, tied a rope to the railing over the stairs, stuck his head through a slip knot and then swung loose. He was found dead by a younger brother two hours later. The boy's mother said that Ambrose was employed at Whitall & Tatums South Millvllle "Glass Works, and during the recent strike of the tepdingboysat the works against the em ployment of Hebrews, he refused to go on strike with them, but remained at work. Since then the strikers several times called him a scab, and this, it is thought, unsettled his mind and drove him to suicide. No Danger From Alliteration Wow. Chicago Hall. Tho death of tho Rev.

The people abont the site are as restless, but the restlessness is kept within bounds by the military and United States deputy marshals. Several fights have occurred, but no one so far has been severely injured. The people who are; still hanging on now arc determined to stay with the game if it takes all winter. When the town site is opened at least 2,000 people on foot and horseback will make a dash for the center, each intent on getting a corner lot. It will be a hazardous dash through woods and over rocks, tha final result, of which may be a list of dead and wounded. xaro Leaves a Delicate and Lutlna- Odor After TTsfna If unablo to proenro snAxnov nra.i Eoap setul 25c In stamps and receive a cako by return mail.
