Knap McCarthy Resigns.
Xw Yokk, Oct. 14. The "hoodoo"
Fpell has had its enect on "Knap" McCar
thy, and he has resigned his position as
trainer for Sir. Withers. "Kap" would
not say that the continued ill fortune of the
stable had alone influenced him, but he ad
mitted that he thought people tometimes
fell into hard-luck streaks, and it may lie
inlerred that "Knap's" trotting education
tanght hi in that a battle with a "hoodoo" is
hnpelo-s. McCarthy will sever his connec
tion with Mr. 'Withers at the end of the
season, now only a few days ofH No em
ployer could have treated him better, he
said, but for reasons of his own he was de
termined to give up the Brookdale horses.
He has not 3"et decided what he will do, but
it is possible that he will continue with the
gallopers in preference to the trotters. His
successor at Brookdale has not j-ct been

third inning when the contest stopped and
it was not resumed, the score standing 2 to
0 in favor of the Pittsburgers.
It was a pity that rain interfered, because
there were indications of a very good game.
The local amateur champions did exceed
ingly well as far as the game proceeded.
There were about 500 people present, and
everybody was satisfied with the excellent
work of the Gyms.
Galvin pitched lor the Pittsburgs and his
catcher flas Grant Briges, who was called
in owing to the absence of several of the
Pittsburg players. Briggs is a good catcher.
Onlv one nit was made off Jeem's deliverr,
that being a single by F. Barr. The latter
also made a sacrifice hit, and Galvin gave
two bases on balls and struck a man out.
"Will Gumbert and Haller were the bat

each made a single off Gumbert's pitching,
and Gumbert gare four bases on balls in
the two innings. Gumbert had two errors
and Bergcr one. "Beddy" Mason was the
umpire and started out very well.
After the Pittsburg players left the

Slyer Battle Will Take Place.
Kew Or.LEAxs, La., Oct. 14. After it
was announced that President Noel had de
clared the Myer-Carroll fight off because of
evidence in O'Malley's possession against
Carroll's character, some of the newspapers
made fun ot the club for examining into the
moral character of its pugilists, and sug
gested some queer possibilities of such a
course. The club discussed the matter
freely and objected to detectives interfering
with the club's affairs. A meeting of the
directors was held, and it was decided not to
interfere with the fight.
To-dar President Noel telegraphed to
Carroll to come on, and he will leave Cali
iornia at once with Fitzsimmons, and will
train at Bay St. Louis, ilycr was also tele
graphed to, but will probably train near
home. The meeting will be fixed for Tues

may also result in matches for Fitzsimmons

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New Castle, Oct 14. The Pittsburg
Presbytery of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, which has been in session here
since yesterday morning, adjourned this
afternoon. There were 29 delegate and
ministers present, and Dr. McAllister, of
Pittsburg, presided. George Edgar, of
Beaver Palls, and Henry G. Poster, of
Allegheny, each delivered sermons. They
are theological students in their second
year. Their examination was quite satis
factory. Ber. J. B. "Wylie, pastor of the New
Galilee (Beaver county) Church, intro
duced a question that called for much dis
cussion. Several members of his church are
also members of the Farmers' Alliance. The
Beformed Presbyterians, who are really the
old-line Covenanters, are very much op
posed to secret societies, and the church
rules are rery strict in this respect After
much talk the matter was referred to the
Committee on Church Discipline.
"This ereuing the Discipline Committee
made their report regarding the questio-i as
to whether members mar belong to the
Farmers' Alliance, as follows: Your com
mittee recommends that the Presbytery
record its condemnation of all secret socie
ties, whether arnng farmers, mechanics or
any other classes, and declares against the
propriety of any of our members being
identified with "such secret organizations,
though known as working leagues or work
ingmen's associations. Inasmuch as the
synod has instructed its standing committee
to investigate the standing of such leagues
and organizations and report upon them
next year, we would-recommend that in any
undetermined case the sessions await the
next action of the Synod." The report
was unanimously adopted.

THE PITTSBTJBG SYNOD ADJ0UE58.
A Deficit In the Missionary President! Fi
nancial Acconnts Beported.
Braddock, Oct. 14. Special The
forty-first meeting of the Pittsburg Synod
of the English Lutheran Church closed its
session to-day after five days of busy work.
The first work of the Synod this morning
was to provide tor the number ot members
that will hereafter constitute a quorum.
The number was fixed at ten, proving that
Eix of that number are ordained min
isters. A resolution was passed that
the Synod make an effort to purchase the
McElvaine institute at jsew LeDanon.
There is some deficit in the Missionary
President's financial account, and the mat
ter was committed to the Advisory Board
of Home Missions. A very interesting re
port on "The State of Beligion" was pre
sented by Bcvs. AV. L. Culler and H. W.
"Wright and adopted. Grace Church of Wil
merding was voted a member of the Synod.
A resolution was adopted, calling for
more home mission work, and each pastor is
to call the attention of his congregation to
the mission field within the limits of the
Pittsburg Srnod, and urge all persons to
give more than their apportionment. The
Committee on Resolutions offered their re
port, and among the resolutions was a strong
protest against the "World's Fair being
open on Sunday.
QUAY HAY BE SLIGHTED.
ISx-Congressman Thompson Said to
Be
Booked for Judge Scofield's Place.
"Washington, Oct. 14. Special It is
reported this evening that ex-Bepresenta-tive
Thompson, of Ohio, is booked by the
President for the vacan seat on the bench
of the Court of Claims, to succeed to Judge
GlenniW. Scofield. If this be true it will
be a particularly vicious slap at Senator
Quay, who some "time ago urged the appoint
ment of Second Comptroller Gilkeson.
Thompson is supported by Senator Sher
man, who, as well as the President, has
reason to feel that he has suffered some
what from the grip of the mailed hand of
the Pennsylvania Senator.
Of course,' the story so far has little bet
ter foundation then mere report, and it is
possibly based on a supposition that both
the President and Sherman would like to
do something that would seem like a suc
cessful turning down of Mr. Quay.
ABM0K TESTS POSTPONED.
Government Officials Cannot Attend
Be-
cause of the Despatch Wreck.
"Washington, Oct. 14. Special It
was announced this afternoon that the plate
armor tests appointed to come off at Indian
Head, on the Potomac, would be postponed
for a few days. It uas aunounced that
the reasonjs that the Government officials
wishing to attend the tests had no means
of transportation since the wreck of the
Despatch. The Government is actually
without even a tugboat or a launch for
official use at "Washington at this time, and
will have to await the possible arriral of
the Atlanta, which has been sent to look
after the Despatch.
"Whilethe naval officials may go to any
expense in the use of a Government- ressel
for use similar to that in the sail to Indian
Head, they may not employ public funds in
the hiring of "a private craft for the purpose.
