SEWSY X0TE3 TKOSI .NEARBY TOWNS OT1ECIU, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPVTCIt.' Bellfixkcte, Dec. 7. The suspension of the "Bellefonte Iron and Xail Company, nhicli caused no little surprise in business circles here last week, has been the one topic of conversation ever tiuce. Jrany wild rumors have been afloat as to the probable embarrassment of a number of its largest stockholders, and the fact that the liabilities had been largely overestimated led to the belief that the concern was really in desperate straits. Interviews with re liable parties have, however, disclosed the fjet that the ramors are, for the most part, based on the idle speculations of uninformed persons. Exaggerated reports bavins; been published as to the financial difficulties of the company, inquiry from reliable sources has elicited the following information: The company has teraporarilv suspended operations with the iew of leaking its plant or entering a combination for the manufac ture of other products. The concern is con iderably involved and is largely indebted to General James A. Heaver, who is by far it largest creditor. He has been the President of the company and is said to be willing to assume all its'liabilitics, whether legally liable or not. A proposition of this kind is believed to have been made by him to all the creditors of the company, based upon an extension of time for the payment ot their claims. If the proposition is ac cepted General Heaver will give security to satisfy ths creditors as to their final paj inent. No process of any kind has been issued asrainst the company, and nothing is hi the records showing anv pressing claims. The creditors arc wot numerous, and it is under wood that all in this vicinity hae already indicated a willingness to accept the prop osition made by'Gcneral Beaver. It is be lieved by those" who are most famil'ar with the situation and General Beaver's financial condition that he will be able to provide for all the debts of the nail company and have a handsome urplus, and it is in this belief that he is willing to assume corporate debts lor which he is not lesrallv liable.

"jr IT IS BUCKENBERGEB. The Gentleman From Wheeling Ap pointed tollanage the Local TeatnT MR. M'GUMIGLE IS RELEASED. Interesting Gossip About the Athletes and General Sports at Harvard. A IITEIjT LOCAL FOOTBALL GAMC About two weeks ago it was stated in this paper that Manager McGunnigle was to be released by the local ball elub and that A. C. Buckenberger, of AVheeliug, was to be appointed in his place. That change took place yesterday. The directors of the club held a meeting and decided to dispose with the services of Mr. McGunnigle and to sign Al Buckenberger to manage the team next year. Buckenberger accordingly was signed and is now out in the wide world gunning for a new catcher. There have been many causes which have led up to the change in question. The prin ciple one was that there was far from an unanimity of opinion regarding his reten tion. The directors, the players and the public were much divided on the question. Mr. McGunnigle has also acted in a way rccentlv that has caused considerable dis atisfactinn. The opinion has gained ground that he has not been as active in getting a team together as he could have been. But whatever may have been the reasons for the change it must be taken for granted that the directors know their own business best. They have to pay; they are responsi ble. There is every reason to believe that Mr. Buckenberger will make a good mana ger. He is young, bright, ambitious and energetic. What is more the directors w ere unanimous in their selection of him. The new manager left last evening to try and sign a new catcher, probably Donohoe. Mr. Buckenberger may also place Hanlon in center field aiid Corkhill in left. Messrs. Temple, Scandrett and Brown went.to Jersey City last evening where they will hold theanntial meeting of the club to-day. The new directois will be: Messrs. Brown, Scandrett aud McCalliu. The first named will be president and Mr. Kerr, Vice President. Mr. Scandrett will be Secre tary and Mr. Browu Treasurer. Will Organize Their League.

Delegates will be present fiom Akron, Wooster, Massillon, Canton. Alliance, Sa lem, Yonngstown and East Liverpool. A very strong eicht-club league cau be or ganized from the above-named lilies, and the league will no doubt be a success both financially and otherwise.

THE FIELD TRIALS. Some Good Sport Fnrnlshed by Competi tors in the Pointer Stake. Lexixgton', N. C, Dec 7. SjwiaJ. The running of the "all age" pointer stake was interrupted this morning- by rain. After iunoh, the weather clearing, a start was made with the first brace, Xickof'Xazo and Duke of Hessen, in the first series. They were cast off in a field near the town. Duke had somewhat the best range, but was not nnder as good control as the other. Xick,of Xazo did nearly all the finding of birds, getting a bevy and several singles, Duke only finding one. The heat between "Wild Damon and Don Fishel did not produce any special merit. Ranging, pace and nose were in Wild Damon's favor. He found several singles of the bevy he flushed at the start. Devon shire Don and Rock IL ran the strongest race of the day. Rock II. found a bevy near the starting place and afterward, on the scattered birds, Doth performed carefully and with good sense. The advantage, if any, was on Rock's side in pace, range and number of birds found. This closed the running for the day. To-morrow the stake will be resumed and probably decided, the favorites to far being Xick of JTazo and Rock IL Maid of Kent will most likely run well, and these three may furnish the winners.
