SELLITAX'S MANAGER IEATES DIM
he Bellcfield bowlers look quite a tight
p on the Hostetter Cup last evening by
ming their second contest in succession."
hey can carry oft" the next contest, which
es place on their own alleys, the cup is
"rs; and they are likely to be the ictors
msethey are roll ins the bowls In very
at form just now. But while this cau be
athfully said of them the Linden team are
making matters very warm and the East
End Gyms are improving every week.
Lat evening's rolling took place at the
handsome club house of the Lindens.
The contest was excitingfrom start to finish
and better bowling has not taken place in
this city. Thcririt of the three games was, in
deed, a remarkable one between the Lindens
and the Bellefields. The former headed the
score and they rolled as. if they were goinz
to carry everything before them. Both
totals ere uonderlul. In the second
game also the Lindens did remarkably
vcllbut in the third they collapsed inUer
fiblyT Their staying qualities were wretched
apU they were so badly beaten that their
rwo previous victories of the evening were
'knocked out.
In the starting oft" Mr. McCance, of the
Linden team, injured his arm and Mr.
Fowndes took his place. The rolling of J.
"V. Llovd was excellent, in one game he
making a total of 251. TU Bellefields had
not practiced on the Linden allev. while
they claimed that the Lindens had practiced
two weeks on the Bellcfield alleys before
plaving on the latter. "Without doubt the
Bellefields are a good lot of bowlers and
their scores prove this fact.
As usual there was a good attendance of
ladies and gentlemen. The scores were as
follows:

Are
New York Dec. . Special. The an
nouncement in The Dispatch that Danny
Kichardson w ould not be assigned to play in
New York was a keen disappointment to
patrons of the game in the Metropolis. It
was understood that a lair distribution of
players would be mnde, but it appears that
New York has been very shabbily Heated.
The New York officials acted magnani
mously at the confeicnce. They put in
claims but for two players, Bichafdson and
Rusie, to whom ,hey certainly had more
right than any oluer club.
fcaia Manager Powers. "Had the directors
of this club asked anything unreasonable
the case would be different. It is only a
matter of plain justice to return Richardson
to New York. Ihat is the noint whom wn
are weak. It is now too -late to fill the gap
at second except with some man inferior to
Richardson, and unless the Committee on
l'laers will reverse its decision, the Now
Yoik team must go through the season
with a weakened team. This will be bad,
not only for New York, but also for the visit
ing clubs. Under the 50 per cent division of
the gate receipts visiting teams will reap a
rich harvest at New lork, providing this
citv lms a strong team with which to meet
the very speedy nines which will come here
every few days nest summer In case we
are left'w ith a weak team, the share of the
receipts for the visitors w ill not be so grrat,
as New Yolkers won't turn out to see ball
players who cannot at least hold thoir own
with opposing teams."
NASHVILLE SPEING BACK.

MAY GET ELKEK SMITH.
The Popular Left-Handed ritcher Likely to
Sign "With rittiburK's Club.
Manager Buckenberjter is now trying to
sign Elmer Smith to pitch for the local club.
The former did not leave the city last even
ing, as expected, as it was deemed best to
communicate with President Speas, of the
Kansas Citv club, by letter on the matter.
Kansas City club, by letter on the matter.
Smith is quite, willing to play here, and if
Mr. Spea is witling to release bim all will
be settled, as terms, etc.. bave already been
azreed to with Smith. The latter thinks he
can pitch two games a week as good as ho
ever did, and ne has for some time been
considered one of the best left-handed pitch
ers in the country.
Of course, ir the Kansas City club makes
any objections to Elmer's coming here he
w on't be signed, as the local officials do not
want to cause aur trouble or unpleasant
ness. It is needless to say that if he comes
here Pittsburg will get a good man.

imaginable.

Statement.
Pouohkeepsie, N. Y Dec 28. Timo
thy Herrick, of Staatsburg, father of Al
bert Herrick, the fugitive New York Cen
tral trainman, saw his son in New -York
Saturday and had a long talk with him. He
said he urged his son to go to the railroad
officials and tell them bis story, but could
not gcthlm to do so in the then state of
public feeling. Then his father got him to
make a 'statement on paper, and bade him
goodby, telling him he did not want to hear
from him unless he was seriously ill, be
cause he would be questioned continually
about him. The statement, which has been
ad dressed and sent to Superintendent Mc
C oy, is as follows:
Dear Sin I would say, in reference to the
accident north of Hastings Christmas eve,
tha.twhen our train slowed up but while yet
moving, I dropped oft" and placed twotor
pedoes on the rails and then ran, back to the
train, which was still moving, but as it
slowed up more I took my lights and started
down the track
to stop tne oroion locai.

placed one 'torpedo on tho rail and then
walked on d,owu to the station, thinking it
better to notify tho engineer there than tn
stop him again before he was fairly under
wav.
When'I got to the station I placed my
lignts on the platform, tho red light show
ing sontn. ana then stepped into tne smiion
and inrjuiied of the agent how the local
was. He said he did not know, and I sat
dow n and remained there from three to five
minutes, w hen 1 heard the train coming and
started for the doir, believing it to be tho
local Butas soon as I sa.v the train, I knew
it was the express. I grabbed my light and
tried to attract the engineer's attention, but
it was tpo lite.
I Inllnwed on nn the track, hotilna that the
train I had left 20 minutes before had pulled
out of the way. I soon saw a man coming
back with a red light. As soon as I got to
him I asked what had happened, and ho said
they had struck something, but he did not
know what it was. I went on further and
met another man and asked if anyone was
hurt, and he said all in the sleeper were
killed. I did not deem it prudent for me to
go to the wreck, so I turned about and came
to New York. I fnllv realize the awful posi
tion I am placed in, and can only say I felt
too surethc train to come first was the local.

Two Separate State Conventions
Are
Likely to Be Held.
Nr.w Orleans, Dec. 23. Special. There is
every probability that the split begun in the
Republican ranks at the late meeting of the
Central Committee will spre.d over the en
tire State, resulting in two antagonistic
State conventions and opposing State
tickets. The first parish committee to as
semble, that of Baton Kouge, met to-day,,
and the usual quarrel and split followed.
There were two factions present: the Her
wig nnd Warmoth factions. The latter
wanted the committee to considei the
lottery question, and when it refused to do
so, bolted and held 11 separate meeting.
The majority determined to recognize the
Herwig side and to send delegates to tho
convention called by It. There seems to be
little chance of healing the difference.
LAST NIGHTS WISE WAIF3.
The Northwest is levelling in another,
snow storm.
Maine will quarantine against Massachu
setts cattle on account of tuberculosis.

pure alcohol to make Wolff's Acme
Blackinr. Alcohol is good for leather;
it is good for the skin. Alcohol is the chief
ingredient of Cologne, Florida "Water, and
Bay Rum the well known face washes.
We think there is nothing too costly to use
in a good leather preservative.
Acme Blacking retails at 20c.
and at that price sells readily. Many
people are so accustomed to buying a dress
ing or blacking at 5c. and 10c. a bottle
that they cannot understand that a black
ing can be cheap at 20c. We want to meet
them with cheapness if we can, and to ac
complish this we offer a reward of
$10,000
for a racipe which will enable us to make
Wolff's Acme Blacking at such a price
that a retailer can profitably sell it at 10c a
bottle. We hold this offer open until
