GENERAL SPOUTING NEWS OP THE DAT
Vice President Kerr,ei-'President O'Neil,
of the local ball club, and others met in Mr.
Kerr's office yesterday afternoon and had a
long conversation regarding the schedule
for next season's garner 5Ir. O'Neil had
just returned from a long tour in the "West
and had learned the opinions of "Western
magnates on the matter, lmring an ex
change of opinions yesterday afternoon Mr.
Kerr said:
'Secretary Scandrett has just received a
communication from the Schedule Commit
tee asking us whether we favor each team to
make two trips to a city or three trips; that
is, whether each visiting team shall play
four games straightaway on their first trip
and three games straightaway on their sec
ond; or whether they shall opemrith three
games and then have two on each following
two visits.
A Very Important Matter.
"This is a very important matter. Mr.
Scandrett favors the four games and three
games, as it will tave a large amount of
money in traveling expenses. I have not
decided on the matter yet, but I am in
clined to think that we shonld have the
games split tin a much as possible. For
instance, people arc liable to get wearied of
a team here for lour days, and if we have
changes we will have more interest in the
game. But there are two sides to the ques
tiod, and we'll have to consider it well."
Mr. O'Xeil joined in and said: "Xow- let
me predict that the Pittsburg team will
open in Louisville. The season will open
as far South as possible, because playing
will begin eirly. Chicago will go to St.
Louis and Cleveland to Cincinnati. Then
the same teams will change home grounds
and play, which ot course will give Pitts
burg the worst of it. This is my prediction
of course and let us wait and see how it
somes out. Pear in mind it is not the old
National League in power now. Von der
Alic. Von der Horst, Messrs. Bmh and
Byrne have lots to say now and Spalding
and others are not in i"'. Why, Mr. Spald
ing is disgusted at the way thing? were
CxeJ up at Indianapolis.
ai s tltc- Lncnp Surrendered.
"The League really surrendered to the
American Association" and gave 5130.000 to
a bankrupt organization. The League
fought a rral fcht in lS89and won it and
collapsed in a little squabble.
Mr. bnaidius told me that he has been so
unfairlv dealt with that he proposes to onlv
put 25,000 into the club this year. He
claims that no respect has been "paid to his
interests and he canno see wliv he should
inwst nicner tor other people."
Mr. O'Neil went on to sav tint from what
he knows Pittsburg will neither get Grimm
or Lvons and he adises Mr. Kerr to waive
all claim on both of them: remarking, -'If
vou tight for a plavcr and don't get him it
will do your club harm."
Hegardhig the letter of President Frank
llobison, which appeared in this paper

"When Mr. Kobisou sayi that the resolu
tion of the Indiananolis'mceting had caused

JVoreli to C. F. Mayer.
The following letter, in reply to the letter
of Mr. Mayer, was received at this office
last evening:
To the Sporting Editor of The Dispatch:
Sin In Sunday's edition of The Dispatch
there appeared a letter from a P. Mayer, in
which he makes charges of a personal char
acterfegalnstmeand the club I represent.
He says I- "asked Mr. Minehart, of the Cli
max club, to attend the league meeting to
vote against the percentage plan, when I
know that they weife going to withdraw."
Either Mr. Mayer or Mr. Mineliart has said
what is not true. Mr. Matt Thompson told
me at noon on the day of the meeting that
he was opposed to the admission of Liver
pool; also was against tho percentage sys
tem, and would vote for me for President.
I was surprised hen Minehart told me that
Thompson would not bo present, and asked
him it Thompson had instructed him, and
he said he had. Lateron Minehart informed
me prrvatelv that the Climax was coins to
withdraw. I told him that he had better
wait, as that could be done later, and Matt
mteht reconsider his intention to withdraw.
Afterward Minehart came to and said for
me to ."as1 nothing about it.
.onr, 1 did all I could ina fairand straight
fotward manner to defeat the percentage
plan, and wo did not need Winehart's vote.
The representatives or the Tarentum club
wefts mixed up. Director Girt was opposed
to it and Manager Wills voted for it, bnt
alter an understanding was had thev
promptly voted tijr.tinst it. I had worked
up a majority in everything I favored. Mr.
Jlayer declined to bo renominated tor the
pre'sidencv and trted to have an outsider
elected, when IThad four out of the six clubs
fledged to me! Mr. Mayer shonld be tho
ast man in the league to accuse me of ques
tionable mothod. When I had nnvthlntr to
say to him of that character I said It to him
personally. Yours lespectfullv,
John B. EARnorn,

The sooner the League directors meet the

a little too previous in his 'advice-' to Mr.
Phelps.
Tne letter of President Robison is the

NEWS! NOTES FROM NEAEBT TOWNS
rSPFCIAL TELEOHAW TO THE DTSPATCTM
EniE, Jan. 11. The creditors of the
wrecked Delamater Bank of Meadville sus
tained another heavy loss at Erie to-day.
When Messrs. McClintock and Haskins,
the assignees, took charge of the chaotic af
fairs of the Delamaters, they counted on
about $7,000 of a claim against Hon. Orange
Noble, of this city, ho at one time was an
oil country millionaire.
"When they came to lay their hands upon
the Bay State Iron "Works, an extensive
manufacturing plant, and the Noble block,
one of the finest business structures in this
city, they found that the Keystone Na
tional Bank, of which Mr. Noble was at the
time President, had already secured the title
by bill of sale.
The Meadville creditors and the assignees
were fnrious, and came into court to break
the title of the Keystone Bank. After a
full and careful trial to-day the Court of
Common Pleas sustained the titb of the
Erie bank. In securing itself the -Erie
bank took every penny of interest owned by
Hon. Orange Noble, and came out of the
Delamater affair unscathed.

WORK OP TIIE AUDITING COMMITTEE
The Allegheny Finance Committee last
night completed the estimates for the ap
propriation ordinance. The unfinished por
tion of the Department of Public Works
was taken vm and comnleted. The estimate
for the Library Committee was placed at
530,800, divided as follows: For looks,
$10,000, for music hall, 510,800, and for sal
aries and other expenses, 510,000.
Wharfs and landings were placed
at 53,528; markets, 57,231. The
estimate for the market house includes
appropriations for repairs on the market
honse. An estimate of 56,000 wasadded for
the water works, previously acted upon, to
provide for a new battery of" four boilers.
The Department of Charities was given
549,480 10 as against 549,117 25 last year.
This, added to the estimates previously
decided npon, makes the total estimated ex
penditures amount to 51,d80,000, as against
5990,000 last year. The following are the
estimated revenues:
Justness tax, $16,C0O; water tax. $200,00:
sewer tax, $10,0-20; Mayor's office, $17,345 IS;
markets, $19,693 B4; Diamond scales,
$1,"8Q.75; wharfs and landings, $5,000:
superintendent of engineering and
survey, $527; Superintendent or watjr
distribution, $3,000; bark measurinsr, $2,
US flfl: health department, $1C5; vehicle li
cense, $14,000: peddlers' license, $2,853 77;
rittsburs. Fort Wavne and Chicago Riit
Trav Company, $3'400; outstanding taxes,
$70,000; liquor license. $100,000; collection of
school tax, $1,500; Carnegie Hall, $3,000: street
railway, $10,C00; switch license, $1,000; high
ways and sowers, 900; total, $432,932 33.
rignrlns on Reduced Millage.
When these questions had all been decided
upon the question of millage came up. The
idea was that it should be less than last
year. The city will derive considerably
more from liquor licenses this year than
last. Under the new law the city gets ?900
from every license. Last year only 3,000 was
gotten from ihe street railway companies.
This year it is expected the amount will be
increased to 510,000. It is proposed here
after not to grant the free use of Carnegie
Hall for entertainments, so that the rev
enue from this source will be considerably
increased.
According to the estimates about 5000,000
must be raised by direct taxation to meet
the estimated expenses. The committee
figured first on 9 mills. This would raise
5030,000. Last year the valuation was 551,
500,000 and the millage was fixed at 12. There
was some doubt expressed as to 9 mills
being sufficient Mr. Dahlinger proposed
that 520,000 be expended for new engine
houses instead of 530,000, and that only two
be built instead ot three, and that they be
placed in the Eleventh and Twelfth wards.
Mr. Nesbit opposed this strongly, as one of
three provided for was intended lor his
ward, the Tenth. Mr. Kennedy opposed
anv increase in taxation.
Mr. Nesbit insisted on having an engine
house in the Tenth ward. Mr. Kennedy
said he did not care how it was arranged,
but there must be a decrease in taxation.
Xo llecrease for Knglne Houses. -
The motion to decrease the estimate for
engine houses was withdrawn. Another
half hour's figuring developed the facts in
the minds of the committee that 9 mills
would give a sufficient sum.
Mr. Xsbit, in order to make sure of get
ting everything he wanted for his ward
moved that it be placed at 10 mills.
Mr. Gerwig thought that was more than
Mr. Nesbit should ask for. He was certain
tha for the last four years the Tenth ward had
been getting something every year..
The discussion was continued until al
most 11 o'clock, and finally the matter was
referred to Controller Brown, with instruc
tions to go over the estimates carefully and
determine what millage should be levied
and report to an adjourned meeting 6f the
committee to-night.
It was the general impression among city
officials last night that 9 mills would be
decided upon.
The regular meeting of the Allegheny
Auditing Committee was held last night.
The report of the auditors to the sub-committee,
showing the amounts due from the
different street railway companies fbr street
cleaning and car and dividend taxes, was
read.
A resolution was passed asking Councils
to instruct the Mayor to send out bills.
The experts were directed to examine the
books, and determine what taxes natural
gas companies owe the city.
Discussing Licenses for Shows.
The committee then took up the three or
dinances prepared "by the special committee
on curative legislation, and referred by
Councils to the Auditing Committee. The
first was the one providing for shows and
exhibitions. The rates charged are the same
as now provided by ordinance. One change is
that no permit sliall be granted for any'
show, etc., to be given in a house where
liquor is sold or given away. Xo license
fee will be rennired for entertainments, etc.
the proceeds of which are to be devoted to
charitable purposes.
Considerable discussion followed about
the Pittsburg baseball club. As it was char
tered in New Jersey, it was claimed that it
is not a home club, and theChairman de
cided that they would have to pay 55 per
game. The ordinance was then referred to
Councils.
Toe second ordinance provided for the
licensing of vehicles. It was amended to
compel all owners of vehicles to make a re
turn to fhe City Treasurer before Mav 1 of
each year, under oath, of all vehicles in
their possession, fhe other ordinance related
to the receiving and paying out of city
moneys. It provided that the Mayor
should turn in to the City Treasurer once a
year all witness fees collected bv him and
not called for. On motion of Mr. Lewis
this was amended, requiring him to turn in
the uncalled-tor fees once a month. The
ordinance was then approved.
GOSSIP IN POLICE CIECLES.
