Powser, the Second Degree Murderer, Rec ommended for Tardon. XEWST XOTES FEOll NEAKBT TOWXS TcrFCIAL TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH'. I Greeksbuko, Dec 22. Upon an in formation made by James Dewalt, a mer chant of Manor, County Detective Alcorn this afternoon arretted Bankers P. S. Pool and Elmer Pool at Irwin. The charge is em bezzlenient. The Pools waived a hearing, and promptly gave bail in the sum of ?2,000 each for con rt. The arrc-ts Mere accomplished without any excitement. The officer simply read the warrants and then awaited the Pools at the office of Justice Eli McCormick, where thev appeared a few minutes later, and gave bail in f 1,000 for their appearance before Justice Keener, of Greensburg, nest Mon day at It o'clcck. Both of them took it coolly, and did not atipear to be concerned as to the outcome. Dewalt was seen this cicnimr, and he tells the following: "On Mondav about noon I went to the bznk for the purpose of depositing some money. I found Elmer Pool at the desk. I aked him as to the condition of the bank, and he replied that it was all right, and that thev had lots of money. He said that they had more money than was needed in their business at that time, and that tbey stnt the surplus to the Fort Pitt Bank, of Pittsburg. I saw a large roll of bank bills, which he said they were about sending awav, and upon questioning him some fur ther he said that a bank depositing in a lunk of another city was just the same as a depositor in a home bank. The money was subject to check, and could be drawn when needed." The arrest of the parties caused consid erable commotion in Irwin. The general impression is that there is something radi cally wrong in the business of the bank. Peter S. Pool, the senior member of the firm and father of "Webster and Elmer Pool, enjoys the confidence of the people, and great sympathy is expressed for him. All eves turn to the sons, who, it is now claimed, involved the bank into its present misfortune. The Pools emphatically deny any crook edness and have employed able attorneys to defend them. Touching the Dewalt matter, they say that they weie positive at that Mine that they nould tide over the diflicnltv. Tho amount deposited in the bank by De walt was $4(0 Opinions are divided as to the wisdom of PeualtN course. Asood many of the depos itors think the better plan is to await the appraiser's report before pi oceedirs to ex tremities. At the Pool residence no unu sual txcltement is noticeable. Whether otlier informations -r ill be made is a matter of conjecture. -V peci,il telegram to Tm Dispatch from Hillid?hursrsgyb: James F.Riddle,a heat y depositor id the" upended Tyrone Bank, entered suit in court here to-dav against raleh Guver, A. 1$.

Corbett, of California, have signed articles of agreement to meet in a six-round glove contest in Madison Square Garden within seven weeks from to-day. The men met in the office of a sporting paper this after noon. Corbett opened the negotiations. The men soon found that a finish fight was ont of the question, as Mitchell stuck to London prize ring rules. It was then agreed that there should be a scientific contest lor points, with ordinary sized gloves. The following articles were drawn and signed: "We, the undersigned, agree to boxscien tifically for six rounds. Marquis of Queens berry rules, at Madison Square Garden within seven weeks of this date." Xo money was posted. There will be no stake Both men seemed agreed to make the meeting one in which to simply decide who is the more clever of the two men. Among those present besides the Slavins were W. C Gilmore, Colonel Harding, Arthur Lumley, Joe Early, Dave Hallard, Mike Donovan and Sailor Brown. The stipulation made between Slavin and and Sullivan's representatives this after noon was that the men should fight within 15 weeks after Sullivan's theatrical con tracts expire, which will bring the fight into September.

So far as can be learned no direct authoriza tion has been received by Sullivan's repre sentatives to make the match, but Sullivan has said he would meet Slavin when his engagements permitted, and his backer, Charlie Johnson, has taken him at his word.

When there were conflicting claims the club that most ndctl tllt3 sei ices or the pmei in dispute was awarded the player. "There were flvo or six clubs after Far rell, Tom Brown and Duffy. There was not so much demand for tho Chicago Associa tion players, lor they bad contracts at high salaries, and whoever took them had to shoulder those contracts. Strangely enough, no one wanted Mike Kelly, the sometime king of the diamond. All the players have been assigned, and I will issue bulletins of contracts as soon as the contracts are sent me.

Blakeman, of Xexington, Ky., a civil engineer wuo has built a number of trotting tracks, says: "What is the scientific reason why ft track with one turn should be faster than one with two turns? Because a body passing round a curve is subject to two motions or forces in conflict with'eaoh other, one force acting at right angles to the direction of the other. A portion of a horse's energy is used in getting forward, and another portion of his energy is used in turning as he goes round the turn. The same amount of force In the locomotive will pull the train faster when the railroad track is straight than it will when it is curved. If a regulation course, which has two turns, is as fast as a kite course, which has one turn, then by parity of reasoning a kite which has one turn is as fnst as a straightaway, course, which has no turn, which brings us face to face with an ab surdity, for no one would deny that a conrse perfectly straight from end to end is the lastest possible shape for a track. The ec centricities and peculiarities of a few horses, that seem to woik better on turns than any where else, is no disproof of tho laws of motion and the experienco of the majority of horses. No one questions the advantages, as conducing to speed and ease, of good, springy soil for the surface ot a trotting track, but the above discussion is as to the main cause of the superiority in point of speed, which the kite track unduobtedly possesses."
