"Whatever power controls tlie -weather Ins not the most kindly feelings toward the Allegheny Athletic Association. "When e er the members of that organization hold a field day or an thing like it bad weather can be relied on. Yesterday was no excep tion because the day was damp and cold and before the sports w ere concluded rain fell heaiily. The inclement weather deterred hundreds of people from attending, and as a result the crowd was much less than it otherwise would have been. Still the attendance was good considering the bad weather. The contests generally speaking were excellent, but the programme dragged too mi.ch. The visitors irom Boston did very well and took away a good share of prizes. Mr. Long is a coon all-round athlete, but in some of the events he was too heavily handicapped. Tho sjuic inay bo said of McKcnnan.

There ne cr w as the least intention to elect any other man and his terms were accepted by the entire bo ird without a whisper. The fact is com mentary enough on the w ill-o-the-wisp stones that have been floating around. The meeting of tho directors was of the most harmonious kind. President O'Xeil being in the chair. Outside of re-electing Manager McGunnigle, the business trans acted was entirely of a routine kind. Mr. McGunnigle's salary was increased, and he will commenco to-day signing players for nextrc.li.

Citizens and Officers Following tho Czar's Example of Dispensing With Luxuries and Devoting the Money Tims Saved to Relief Poor Worklngmen Do the Same. St. Petersburg, Oct. 6. Entire States arc being deserted on account of the famine. A new law has been enacted forbidding the sowing of seed this fall, so that the acreage will not be sufficient for the home supply, still less lor export. So great is the dis tress that people have been driven to pil laging each other, first setting fire to vil lages and then robbing the inhabitants. By the united charities ot the Government and the people a biscuit a day is allowed every individual in the famine district. The-dis-tress i a greater menace to the Government than all the efforts of the Nihilists. The famine may cause a revolution where love of liberty has failed. Aid is being sent in by the Holland Hebrews and Ifihilists and by America. The latter has sent f5,300. The newspapers of St Petersburg de nounce the conduct of the merchants and members of the nobility for seeking profit from their stores of corn, while the poor peasants are starving. They make a strong appeal to the Government to remove the edict prohibiting the export of rve, nnd sub stitute therefor a heavy tax on tfie exporta tion of all cereals, Reports from the Baku district and elsewhere are to the effect that thousands of persons are dying of starva tion. The officers of thelmperial Guard havede cided not to dring champagne at any of the rcgimeutal banquets, and to contribute the monev which would in the usual course of events have been so spent to the peasants of tho famine-stricken districts. All classes of citiicns here, following the example of the Czar, who has decided that no court balls will be given during the coming sea son, and that the money usually spent for this purpose shall be devoted to the relief of the suflercrs by the famine in his coun try, have resolved to abandon all entertain ments during the winter and contribute the money thus saved to the fund for alleviating the distress of the famishing people. Most of the public officials announce thcyintend to devote a certain percentage of their sal aries to the same purpose. "Workmen have decided to give a propor tion of their humble wages, and even chil dren will offer their little savings. Collec tions are to be taken up on every feast day in all the churches. The stream ot relief is coming through wide channels, but the system of distribution, it is claimed, is very detective. AK EX-MAYOB'S SUICIDE. Illness and Business Troubles Prompts a Corry Man to Self Slaughter. Corby, Oct. 6. Special. The saddest event that has occurred in this city for a loDg time was the death this morning by suicide of Hon. A 1 Bole. He was not feeling well last night, and this morning his daughter Katie, before going to school, went into her father's bedroom to kiss hiin, as-was her custom. As she turned to go out she noticed that he drew the bed cover ing oer his face, and not long after that the fatal shot was heard. Mrs. Bole and a ladr friend w ere at his side in an instant, and Dr. Phillips, who was passing, was called in, but death was instantaneous. The ball entered his right temple and passed nearly through the head. Mr. Bole had borrowed the revolver from Attorney Olm-ste-id but a few days ago, preparatory to making a trip to Arkansas. The pricipal cause of the suicide was busi ness embarrassment, though Mr. Bole had been sick for some time. He was heavily engaged in lumber interests at "Walnut Ridge, Ark., and as lately there has been no market for lumber there he became great ly invohed. For some yea's he has been deaf in one ear, and eminent specialists said he was gradually becoming incurablv and totally deat This information affected him greatly and he was heard to sav he iniiht as well be dead. Mr. Bole had been District Attorney for two terms, and had an excel lent law practice. He held the office of Mayor for one term, positively refusing a re-election. He was 43 3-ears of age. He carried a life insurance of 10,000. VABI0US E0TTXES TO DEATH Taken by Four Unfortunates TTho Tut an End to Their Lives Yesterday. Xew YORK,Oct 6. Special. Henry ,T.

Attorney Gen eral Hart to-day filed in the Supreme" Court a petition for a writ of review to te'st the validity of the present Grand Jury. This is in connection with the Chute case. The court ruled that the province of the Supreme Court was to decide cases and not answer questions, and that a person under indict ment was the only one to question the legality of the Grand Jury. Such person could apply for a writ of prohibition. The Attorney General's application was dis missed. He thinks this establishes the legality of the Grand Jury. AHHEKE JANS' HJSIES ACT.

No Hopes That the Entombed Miners Will Be Forma let Alive. MINOR NEWS FROM THE THREE STATES tfrECIAL TILEORAJI TO TITR DISFATCIM 25EW Castle, Ost. G. There is war be tween the New Castle Elecric Street Rail way and the County Commissioners. All the road bridges in the city arc ow nod by the county as a whole, and are not the property of the city. The street car line has begun the work of laying a track from the Union depot via the East Side to the Diamond on the West Side. In order to complete the line the county bridges will have to be crossed. This morning the County Commissioners served a preliminary injunction on the railway company, restraining it from lay ing a track on these bridges. The Commis sioners weio compelled to take this step to satisfy the demands of the Farmers' Alli ance, which objects to street cars oecause they frighten horses. It is said the Alliance is opposed to all corporations, and as tho street car company is one this may be the real cause. A hearing will tako place Satur day before Judgo JIcMiehael.
