TELEGRAM TO TOT'DISPATCH. 1 Xett IiiSBOX-, Dec 23. Never before has there been such general interest taken in a case here as in that of yountj "William Canfield, who was to-day placed on trial charged by membeis of the Perkins De tective Agency, of Pittsburg, with train wrecking and murder. The confession of Canfield, detailing how he happened to fall in with the detectives and acknowledge that he wrecked the train, were fully detailed in these dispatches last Friday. They aroused the creatcst sympa thy here among prominent men, who made np a purse for the young fellow and secured the services of Detective Hayes, who promises some startling revelations as to the methods pursued by the Perkins peo ple to extort an alleged conlession from the alleged criminal. The trial began to-day by young Canfield entering a plea of not guilty, and the State then asked permission to examine some 15 witnesses. Probably the most important witnesses examined were the two detectives, E. Booth Todd and Claudie Perkins. Balled Oat or Jail to Testify. The former had secured bail in the Xew Castle case and hurried here to the trial. Both these -gentlemen told their story, of how they had captured Canfield. They swore that Canfield hail voluntarily confessed to opening the switch at East Palestine by'brcaking it with a hammer. Ther. said he had made that confession sev eral limes, and that, too, in the presence of witnesses. , Attorney Anderson, for the defense, then took hold of the two detectives and put Jhcm through a severe cross-examination, which brought out facts which startled the court. They never wavered from their first story, though Mr. Anderson forced young Perkins to acknon ledge that he had been arrested several times in Pittsburg and twice lately in Ohio, (the Ohio arrests be ing well known. At the close of the State's evidence, At torney Anderson made a short argument outlining what the defense intended to prove. This ennsed another sensation, the attorney ending by stating they had a clear case of conspiracy. A Cloud of Witnesses Tor Canfield. To-morrow the first witnesses of the de fense will be put on the stand. There are about 50 witnesses for the defense, and De tective Haves promises a bomb during the course of tfieir examination. The case will probably last all this week, if not longer. During the examination of the Mayor and Marshal of East Palestine to-day, those, pen. tlemen narrated their part in the case. They were secreted when Canfield made his al leged confession. Under cross-examination bothacknowledged that the prisoner showed the greatest tear when in the presence of Perkins and Todd. This, the defense claimed, went to prove that part of Can field's assertions when he said the detectives had threatened to kill him if he did not con fess some crime. Prosecuting Attorney claimed the de tectives had a perfect riclit to extort the confession in the way they did. Every effort was made by theprosecution to have tiie.trial postponed, but Judge Nichols re fused a further continuance. A PEEACHEE ASKS TOE BAPTISM. Itev. Mx. Brnfl", or Cnlontnwn, Changes His Creed and His Church. Umontowit, Dec 23. Special Eev. W. H. Brnff, pastor of tue Mt'thodUt I'rotestnnt Church of this city, has resigned.

Bruff arose, and said, in substance: Having renounced the pastorate of the Methodist 'rotr?t?nt Church In tills city, ana having an nounced iht Intention uf entering the Christian Church and Its ministry, and henceforth to be knou n s! mplv as a Disciple of Christ, it detolres upon me to give a reaou lor the change. The Disciples of Christ require sent to no other creed ttian the all-cumpreliensh e one of divine revela tion, namelj. that.lcsusis the Chris, the Son of the living od. The man believing this truth with all his heart nclicies all lh.it the Bible teaches con cirnlngthedii!neSalor. and -- ill also obey from IiKlitart all that Justls has commanded. In the early church ecry one who nelleved andobeved lllm was recognized ab a Christian, and no other t st of fellowship was required of him than faith In Christ and obedience to Ills commands. The milted church of the future will alo. 1 believe, re iiirc no more ot men and women than was asked in Hie apu-tolic a ge. 1 lie Disciples or Christ make the word of bod the only rule aud guide in faith and practice. It Is. al-o. true that other Christians make the BIMc their guide, but not their only guide, since tlicy have tlielr articles of religious discipline and confessions of faith In addition.

HOW THE NEWS IS BECEIVED. Madison Square Garden Secured for Slagging Match. GOSSIP, GOING IN SPORTING CIRCLES The heaviest blow ever struck at winter racing was delivered by the Board of Con trol in New York yesterday. The Board legislates for the Monmouth Park Racing Association, the Coney Island Joekey Club, the New York Jockey Club, and the Brook lyn Jockey Club. These associations fur nish about all the rich prizes ot the running turf, and to be barred from the great round of spring, summer and fall races will bring ruin to many stables thatinow send horses to the winter tracks. The withdrawal of these horses, with their trainers and riders, will, on the other hand, leave only a lot of skates and selling platers that will probably tail to draw a paying attendance at the winter tracks, and to put an end to the un seasonable sport. Tne action-referred to was the adoption of the following resolu tion at a meeting ot the Board ot uontroi: Resolved, That owhers,their horses, train ers and lockevs, racing on any course north of Maryland or east of Ohio, at which there is racing in December, January or February, or on more than 30 days in a calendar year, shall not be qualified to enter, start, ride or nave license lor tne races ot tne associations represented in the Board of Control.but this resolution shall not take effect until Janu ary L 1S92. The resolution, it is said, did not meet with the approval of the entire board. The members who were not in favor of taking such action at the present time'were Mr. Dwyer and Mr. Cassatt, but after a full discussion of the measure they sided with the majority and the resolution was unani mously adopted. Only ten days notice was given to the owners of horses that arrangements had been made to continue at Guttenburguntil April 15, the end ot the winter racing sea son. President "Waulbaum concluded to call a meeting of the .Executive Committee at once to discuss what action should be taken. Mr. Carr said 'after tire meeting: This is only a big blriff on the part of the Board of Control, and I do not think it will amount to anything. The racing associa tions tried the same thing four years ago by shutting onl all owners who ran horses on half-mile tracks or for purses less than $500., When the Brooklyn Jockey Club opened in tho spring they were very short of enmes. I owned several horses that bad been run ning on that short track for small purses. I supposed I as barred out, out I was as sured by Mr. Dwyer that my entries-would be accepted. The fields were so small that tho door had tobe opened to every body, with the understanding that they bad done wrong and must never do it again. These clubs bad to receive our entries for their own protection or they wonld have had to run the same horses every d.iv. There are 600 owneis, 1,100 horses and 3,500 employes at theGutten burg race track. We have tieated them all fairly and believe that they will stand by ns in this fight. I don't expect that a single owner or jockey will leave our track, be cause they can get more money theie than elsewhere. Wo run our horses for monos". The Board of Control protend to run horses for glory, but they want the dollars just as much as anyone else. Tho Board of Control are Jealous of our great success this year, but their bombshell has no frightened any one. x THE SWIMMING EACES. Unlque Sport Arranged for Christmas at the'Natatorlum.
