2Jirw Castle, -Tan. S. The affairs of tlie
J. V. "Witherow Company appear to be in a
perfect tansle, and there are now little
liopes that the mill will resume operations
this winter. The legal order making Alex
ander Thomas, of Oakmont, Allegheny
county, assignee, was leceived and placed
on file here this morning.
Three hundred and ten labor claims,
representing principally dues of the work
men, have been aligned to Brown and
Thompson, general merchants in this city.
Thee claims represent about $13,000, and
will, of course, be the first paid. Another
claim of $7,000 has been filed against the
"Vorks for notes Riven.
Under the former management of John
Stevenson the firm closed the first two years
with a net profit of $101,000, and since Mr.
Stevenson's retirement the contracts let to
the company have been much larger, and,
' it is said, at even more profitable figures.
"Where the loss comes in is not known.
It is said now that an arrangement has
"been made bv which Mr. Thomas will not
take charge as assignee, but that the works
uill remain in the hands of Alexander
Thompson, who was appointed receiver by
the Court, the idea being to form a stock
company composed of the largest creditors.
One of the officers of the company said this
afternoon: "The plant is one of the bet
equipped in the country, and as there will
beaErrc3t demand for structnral work dur
ing the present year I leel confident it will
not be allowed to remain idle."

destroyed properties valued at over $40,000.
"While tLeir first attention is directed to
ward findiccrsud punishing the incendiaries
nho have undoubtedly caused the fires,
they are making a decided kick against the
entire absence of a fire system. Some time
ago a volunteer fire company was formed
here of glass workers and resident work
men. They only asked that the township
lathers buy a hose carriage and hose.
This matter was argned by the village and
township autho-ities for a long time, but
finally the volunteer department was flatly
refused their request, and as a result they
dropped the matter. They now refuse to
turn a hand to save the entire village lrom
destruction.
At a largelv attended meeting here to
night the citizens resolved to secure fire
protection witLout waiting on the authori
ties. Committees were appointed to look
into the matter, and if they could do no
better, they are to secure the money for
hose and trucks by means of popular" sub

CHANGES IN" THE COUNT! LEAGUE
rSTFCIAI. TELEGUAM TO THE DISPATCrM
PniNCETON, Jan. 8. Nearly all of the
students have retnrned and the work of the
new year is in full swing again. The ath
letic men have not yet gone into active
practice in any of the departments. The
favorite sport at present is the tim-honored
custom of snowballing the freshmen. This
work is restricted to the sonhos who find
great pleasure in making life miserable for
the freshies. The latter have offered no re
sistance as yet, but as '05 is the stronger
class and therefore not likely to submit to a
one-sided attack, a regular snowball fight
will take place probably to-morrow. '93
are confident of winning and of thus putting
an end to further snowball punishment.
Captain Phil King has not arrived in
Princeton yet but is expected here by Mon
day. Then his energies will be devoted to
ward organizing of the crew. King be
lieves that such an institution will assist
football inasmuch as most of the eleven
would obtain a place in the boat.
A meeting for the consideration of such
an organization is to be held in the course
of a few days. Graduates from New York
and Philadelphia will give their opinions
on the matter. The baseball men", under
the direction of Captain Young, will begin
regular practice in the cage on Mondav.
Captain Young feels confident that he will
put a good team on the field, notwithstand
ing the fact that five of last year's best
players will not return. The candidates
for the track athletic team will also begin
work on Mondav.

Promotros or the Proposed Central Leasue
Meet AjrMn With Excellent Results.
Chicago, Jan. a P. "W. McGuire, J.
"V. Speas and Gus Schmelz, the committee
appointed to formulate a plan for the new
Western Baseball League, met this after
noon at the Wellington Hotel. After the
conference Mr. Speas said that the commit
tee decided to recommend two things for
approval. One was that the Secretary of
the new Association shall be given a list of
players to select from, and shall assign them
to the different clubs composing the League.
The other recommendation was that the
gate receipts of each came shall be divided
equally between the home and visiting
clubs, 43 per cent to each club and the re
maining 10 per cent to go to the Associa
tion. The committee will probably meet in
Chicago again within the next two weeks to
form the League. It was said to-day that
Toledo and Indianapolis will join the
League. If the former fails to do so, how
ever, Grand Rapids is ready to take its
place to make up the quota of clubs. Mil
waukee, which withdrew from the Western
Association, is now said to be knocking for
admission to the new League, and will no
doubt be taken in. The, scramble between
the Hatch and Mgrton factions in Minne
apolis for a place in the League is arousing
considerable gossip. Morton is said to
lead his competitor, and will probably win
on account of his backing.
One of the magnates at the "Wellington
said that the salary roll of each club in the
new Association would probably be ?2,500
a month, or ?17,500 for the season.
EASY FOE THE STKANGLEE.
He Threw ' Thompson and Park Three
Times Each in an Hour.
Erie, Jan. 8. Special Evan Lewis,
who was matched to throw Harvey Parker
and Harry Thompson three times each in an
hour or forfeit ?100 to each, drew a large
audience last night. Charles Yolbrecht re
fereed the match. Thompson fell in the
first round, and was thrown three times in a
little less than a minute and a half.
Parker, who has had considerable expe
rience with men like the late Matsada
Sorekechi, the Jap, and Dennis- Gallagher,
stood up three minutes in the first bout, and
seven and a half and six and a half in the
second and third rounds. Parker was
floored with the Bar Nelson and leg holds.
The affair was hardly an exhibition, except
so far as it edified the Strangler and his
friends.
Givinc; Pfeffcr a Boom.
Chicago, Jan. 8. Special. Fred Pfef
fer isn't losing any sleep over his baseball
future. He is comfortably oituated, has
the ?2,000 advance money that the dead
Chicago Association club gave him, and
carries in his pocket two telegrams which
he prizes very highly. These telegrams,
Ered says, duplicate the offer made to him
by ex -President "Williams. Had the Chi
cago Association club lived Pfeffer would
have received 55,000 for playing and 2,000
for managing the team. Williams says the
telegrams are in black and white. It "is not
positively known what clubs are bidding
for PfefFer's services, but it is surmised that
New York wauts him badly in the East,
while Yon der Abe is crving for him in St.
Louis. In addition Williams has letters
askins him to use his influence in securing
Pfefler's services.
TVil! Fight for Dnngan.
Chicago, Jan. 8. Special President
L. C. Krauthofl, of the Western Asssocia

attend the meeting of the Central League at

Young's power to assign Fielder Dungan to
the Chicago club, and declares in the most
emphatic terms that the player will wear a
Kansas City uniform. Dnngan was released
during the season by Milwaukee to Omaha
and played the season out there. At the
end of it the Omaha club turned him and
Pitcher Ed Stein over to Kansas City, and
Dnngan was signed, October 10. to play in
Kansas City. This contract, Mr,-' Krau

. New York, Jan. 8. Special The Sport

from Champion Fnlford:
Four victories in five contests over suoh a

notoriety I care for. My days at pigeon

awhile, on' a holiday, shoot in little club
matches; but other than 'that I donotcaro

That being done, I go back again to my

it is nothing mora to me. lean retire just

FITZ WILL NOT MEET HALL.
No Possibility at All ol a Go Between These
Men at Any Time.
New Orleans, Jan. 8. Special There
is no chance whatever of Bob Fitzsimmons
meeting Jim Hall, and this fact might as
well he understood by thc-athletic clubs of
the country now, so as to save them
worry and telegraphic tolls. Fitzsim
mons is very sore at his treatment by
Hall, who, according to the champion's
ideas, used him as a means to bring him
self before the public. Several attempts
have recently been made to get
up a fight . between the men, and
good-sized purses have been offered
lor the go since the Minneapolis affair
nearly a year ago. The Olympic Club is
willing to put up a 510,000 purse foi the
fight, and the Metropolitan while not
giving so much, is willing to make the purse
one well worth the fighting for.
The trouble in this case does not lie with
the size of the purse, but with Fitzsimmons
himself. He was askett to-night whether or
npt he would meet Hall, and replied in a
manner emphatic, if not dignified, that he
would not fight the "blooming fellow " He
claims that Hall is beneath him, and that
he has proved himself a man whom he
(Fitz) does not care to meet. Thus an end
is put to any probability of a battle be
tween them.
THOSE ALLEGED BIG FUSSES.
Secretary McCracken Talks About the
Money Oflered for Trotting.
During a conversation yesterday after
noon Secretary McCracken, of the Home
wood Driving Park, talked interestingly
about the alleged big purses offered by
various trotting organizations. He said:
"There is much that is not true about the
majority of those alleged big purses. Not
long ago we were informed that Grand
Bapids was coing to offer $100,000 in
purses. Now when the matter is thoroughly
understood only 530,000 are to be offered,
and that amount is for three meetings.
Again we hear of tracks giving purses of
52,000, but they seldom fill." Of course the
statements of those big purses lead many
people to believe that the Southwestern
tracks are better than the grand circuit.
They are not. Probably Mr. Williams is
the only man who will give 5100,000 in
purses this year. But this will be his last
year in that respect, as the novelty of his
track is wearing off and there is no betting
there."
THE CLIMAX MAY BESIGN.
A Vacancy Likely to B Made in the County
I.cagne Banks.
A rumor was current yesterday to the
effect that the Climax team are likely to
drop out of the County League. The team
are sadly handicapped because of not hav
ing inclosed grounds of their own. There
are some good players on the team who arc
sure to be secured by the other County
League teams.
It is conjectural as to what club will take
the place of the Climax should the latter
drop out, but it is generally thought that
the Chartiers club will be the one selected.
There is a good club there with very good
backing. The Bidgewoods, of Allegheny,
alsq want to be admitted, but their chances
are not as good as those of the Chartiers
club.
CAPTAIN BHEWEE GOING WEST.

New York, Jan. 8. Spertal The
New York Sporting Times of to-morrow will
publish the following challenge from Cap
tain Brewer:
I may be beaten by E. D. Fulford, but it
does not follow that every man who handles
a gun and thinks he is a shooter can down
me. I have heard a good deal of such men
as Charlie Budd, George and Abo Kleinman,
J. A. J. Elliott, the champion of Kansas
City, and others. As they will not come
East to try conclusions, I must travel to
meet them.
In all probability the redoubtable Captain
is now on his wav to Chicago.

Thk sporting editor of the Chicago Herald
thinks Boston will not keep Stivett3, and
that he may pitch in Chicago.

ta'.k of tho players who are expected to be
on tho local team the name of Arthur Whit

Because Connie Mack was offered to Louis

ever that the latter has a poor claim on

been a .member of the University of Ver

to a friend in this city that he has signed
with Mannger Wright, of the Philadelphia

A BLACKMAILER BAGGED.
Chicago Bnslners Men Meet a Crooked
Threat in the Correct Way.
Chicago, Jan. 8. ElickLoewits, a mem
ber of the Board of Trade, was arrested in
the directors' room on 'Change to-day on a
warrant sworn out by Baldwin & Farnam.
He was charged with larceny and attempt
to blackmail them for ?1,000. The arrest
caused great excitement in the Board rooms.
Loewits had in his possession a number of
trading cards and a memoraadn which he
was about to use in a Board investigation
of accusations made by him that Baldwin &
Farnam, the well-known commission firm,
had systematically swindled their custom
ers. Baldwin & Farnam claim that Loewits
stole the trading card, and that the infer
ences were unwarranted. He demanded
510,000 for the papers with the alternative
of ruining their reputation, and was refused
a cent, lie was formerly an employe of
Baldwin & Farnam. Judge Tnley issued
an injunction restraining Loewits from
using the cards or testifying before the
Board of Trade directors.
NEW B0ILEES LET GO,
Killing Four and Injuring Two Men In a
Big Chicago Bulldin;.
Chicago, Jan. 8. Five boilers exploded
to-night in the Warren Springer Manu
facturing building on Canal street, killing
four men and injuring two others, one
fatally. The dead are Arthur Hall, Ad

Giggins, though badly scalded, will re
cover. Oswald will die. All of the vic
tims were firemen, and were employed in
the enelne room. The damage to the build

5800,000, was comparatively trifling, the
total, including the boilers, being about
15,900; fully insured.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.
The boilers were brand new two weeks ago.
Engineer Schroeder, who was within a short
distance, miraculously escaped except

THE TERRIBLE HEAT AND COLD.
A Cluster of llasaltic Pillars Equal to the
Giant's Causeway.
THOUSANDS OP SPECIMENS FOUND
rsprriAL tzlegram to the ntPArcit."
Sax Fkakcisco, Jan. 8. Special Field
Agent Xelson, of the Government's Death
Valley exploring party, has just reached
here after an evenfful trip through the
mountains back of Yosemite Park, where
he explored the new territory and discov
ered basaltic columnar clifFs which, he de
clares, are fully equal to the Giant's Cause
way on the coast of Ireland.
The party went from Darwin, in Death
Valley, across the Paramint Mountains to
the Grapevine range in Nevada, and then
returned over the White Mountains, enter
ing Yosemite by a new route. In Saline
Valley they found it worse than in any part
of Death Valley. The manganese in the
rock was oxydized by the internal heat of
the sun until it was like a furnace.
APoffTaksaFatal Bath.
"We had a fine black dog," says Mr. Nel
son, "and on arriving in the valley the dog,
being warm, jumped into a spring to cool
himself. When he got ont the heat was so
intense it steamed and scalded his skin, and
next day all his hair came out and he was
completely raw. Tne following dav he died.
That night it was so hot in the valley that I
went early, before the sun was 'up, to ex
amine the traps we had set. I found sev
eral small rodents, but they were dead and
cooked in the trap from the heatrand tell to
pieces when I attempted to get them ont.
"Our next objective point was the While
Mountains, between California and Ne
vada, 60 miles awav and 12,000 feet high.
There, as we gradually ascended, we reached
banks of snow and the flora and fauna of
the Arctic zone. It took ns two weeks to
get up and prepare to get away again. In
that time we captured many curious mount
ain marmots.
At the Head of the San Joiqnln.
"Thence we proceeded to Owens river,
and from there on to Yosemite. We made
our way over enormous glacier beds, cross
ing into the head flf the San Joaquin river
mountains, which rise to a great height
here, and are full of frightful gorges.
"From the head of San Joaquin we left
all known trails and proceeded across the
divide of the Sierras, 12,500 feet high, and
down into the extreme head of the Merced
.liver. We had some rongh experiences
there. The country is cnt np wjth preci
pices, and for 23 miles as we pushed on
toward Yosemite we at no time knew what
half a mile would develop. A curious
sight we beheld was three humming birds
amid the snow and Arctic plants.
"For three days it was awful, In that
time we did not make more than a mile a
day. We would camp at night sometimes
insight of the ledze where we had camped
on the previous night.
Some Mammoth Basaltic Tlllars.
"On the border of the hitherto unex
plored part of Yosemite Park, back of
Mount Lyell, at the head ot the north fork
of the San Joaquin, we one day came upon
a sight so strange and interesting that we
did not care to move until we had made a
full exploration. What we discovered was
curious cliffs of basaltic spires, some reach
ing 50 feet high, and all six-sided. One SO
feet high stood out unsupported. At the
base of the great cliff were thousands of
pieces of basaltic spires which had
fallen and broken. The pieces were
from 10 to 14 inches thick. The basaltic
spire which stood out alone was about a
font thick. I do not doubt that these
columnar cliffs will eventually become
famous. Their location at the head of the
north fork of the San Joaquin is one of
great picturesqueness and beauty.
"When we reached Yosemite, old Galen
Clark, guardian of the valley, could
scarcely believe when we told him by what
route we had come. He said the Indians
avoided that country because it was so
rough."
The expedition, since'it was organized a
year ago, has secured from 7,000 to 8,000
skins of various animals, and many
thousand birds, flowers and plants. As a.
result of its work the animal life of Cali
fornia will be better known than ever
before.

PBCCEIDING AGAINST A FOOL.
Salt in a Kansas Conrt to Have a Freight
Association Dissolved.
Topeka, Jan. 8. Special District At
torney J. W. Addy to-day filed a petition
in the United States Circuit Court, the re
sult of which may be of great consequence
to the West. The purpose of the action is
to break up the Trans-Missouri Freight As
sociation, to which 15 railroads belong.
The action is brought under the act of .Inly
2, 1890, to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monopolies,
commonly known as the anti-trust law. It pro
ceeds upon the proposition that the Trans
Missouri Freight Association is an illegal
combination and conspiracy to restrain
trade ami commerce, and to monopolize it.
The petition asks that the Trans-Missouri
Freight Association be dissolved, and that
the defendants be perpetually restrained
fioro further combining or acting together
to maintain rates. The main argument in
the case is that the object of this associa
tion is to suppress all competition, and un
der its operation shippers are in the same
position they would be if all the railroads
west of the Missouri were owned by a
single corporation. It is claimed that it is
a pool in all respects except a division of
profit', but containing all that is objection
able to the public in a pool.

A Congregational Shepherd Who Leans
Toward Catholicism Is Bounced.
NOKWALK, Jan. 8. Special Eev.
Henry E. Davies, pastor of the Green
Farm Congregational Church, ha3 received
notice from the leaders of his flock that his
room is much preferable to his company,
and thev have very politely requested him
to resign. Socially, Mr. Davies is called
an all-round good fellow. He plays lawn
tennis with the girls, romps' with the boys
and with the old folks is always entertain
ing and interesting.
For a long time the good people of his
congregation were quite certain that he was
jnt the smartest and brightest young cler
gyman that they had ever heard, but now
ail has changed, and the quicker he gets
out, they say, the better they will be
pleased. The" trouble originated with re
cent sermons the parson had been preach
ing to his flock, in which, they claim, the
sentiments ot'the Boman Catho'lic faith are
accepted as the only true religion of the
Christian people, and that man is empow
ered by God to 'forgive his brothers.

the Farmers' Alliance mid Industrial Union
who attend the Industrial Conference to be
held in St. Louis, February 22. 1832. use their
influence und votes to establish and perfect

zations represented in said mcetlnir, with
tho Ocala demands as a Oasis for a plat
form of principles, and 'that such
platform be piejented to the National
conventions or the Democratic party, tho
Republican party and tho Feople party
this vear, Ith an earnest request that the
principles involved be engrafted into their
platforms for the coining national elections
of 1892, but that they carelully refrain from,
committing our order, as such, to affiliation
with any political party.
A memorial to Congress has been adopted
which deplores the agricultural depression,
and asserts that it is due mainly to partial
ity and unlriendliness. It says the present
financial system is defective; that all money
be issued directlv by the Government to the
people at a low rate of interest and in suffi
cient volume to meet legitimate demands,
aud that silver should have all the rights in
coinage and the qualities of legal tender
that gold possesses.

"1 ou inqnire how I have been since I be
came cured over one year .igo. I am glad to
state I have remained well, and never en
joyed better health. I had had catarrh Tor
six years. 1 first noticed my head and nose
would reel stnffcd up, and a toush, slimy
mucus formed in my throat. The discharge
lrom my nose was
very offensive. I
had pain in my
forehead and fre
quent nosebleed.
My throat beeamo
sore and hnrt to
swallow. The dis
ease extended
from my throat to
my lungs. I felt l
pain in my cbest. 1

My lungs became so weak I could
not lie on either side. I lost flesh,
hd night sweats, and felt very
weak at times, d was unable to do anv
work. 1 was afraid I had consnmDtion. I
had no appetite and felt like vomitinsr what
little food I ate. I had distress and fullness
after eating. I employed several physicians,
but grow worse. I became disgusted with
doctoring and thought I never would
be cured. Through advice or a friend,
whose wife had been cured, I called at your
institute and began treatment. I improved
rapidly from the first. Your prico for treat
ment was more reasonable than any I had
received, for you cured me in miich les
time than I expected. Tho best part of alt
is I have remained cured. 1 live at Xo. 219

am willing the whole world should know
what ha been done for mc.
