XEWSr KOTES FROM KEAEBT TOWXS
teriCIAL TXIEGBME TO THE Dispvrcn.-.
Zeliexople. Jan. IS. A terrible acci
dent happened to a sleigliload oi pleasure
seekers between here and Harmony last
night. The party, consisting of 12 young
people, sons and daughters of prominent
farmers of that section, started out coni
iortably packed in a two-horse bobsled, and
after a lively ride of several miles they
started for home. To lessen the distance
the driver took an unused road that wound
along the top of a steep hill. Everything
was coated with an inch of ice and the road
was as slippery as glass.
Hardly had the horses entered the road
and reached the hill-top when it -was seen
an accident must occur, as the sled slipned
ominously cloc to the precipice at every
step. The driver tried to turn the horses,
but too late, and in an instant later the sled
swung to the edee and'tumbled down the
hill. The driver lashed the horses, but thev
could obtain no foothold, and were dragged
down with the sled and its screaming occu
pants. The young people were so securely
packed in the sled that thev could not es
cape, and of the entire load the driver is the
only one who escaped uninjured, as he
jumped just as the sled went over the hill.
At the point where the accident occurred
there is a sheer fall of fully 300 feet, with a
gentle slope of 200 feet more at the bottom.
The place'was comparatively bare and cov
ered with ice, and when the sled and its
load went over the hill the horses were
dragged after andfell floundering, instantly
overturning the sled. Then began a terrible
slide down the hill, horses, sled-runners
and occupants mixed up in an almost inex
tricable mass. '
By the time the driver could scramble
down the hill some few of the young men
less seriously hurt had helped several
young ladies "from beneath the sled. Three
were insensible from fright and pain, and
one young lady, Miss Elizabeth Martin, had
her spine so badly injured that if she lives
she will be crippled for life. A young man
named Berry had been struck by one of the
horses and his skull is fractured. He will
likely die. Miss Long was also struck by
one of the shoes of the plunging horses
and received a terrible gash four inches
long across her forehead. Those mentioned
were found to be the most seriously hurt,
though not one escaped without bruises or
cuts.
It was found that both horses had broken
their legs in the fall, and they were shot to
end their misery. The young men, bearing
the injured, were obliged to walk nearlr a
mile over the slippery ice before they
reached a iarmhouse. Physicians were
then sent for, and all are expected to re
cover in a short time except Mr. Berry and
Miss Martin, whose cases are serious.

Sproul, receiver of the First National Bank

I.acey had ordered a dividend to be paid the
the last of next month, the first day the
law will permit. There is more than enough
money on hand now to pay a 30 per cent,
dividend, and the receiver savs he thinks

Beaver Falls, Jan. 18. "Special Re
ports from farmers in this section show that
the damage done to fruit trees by the late
rain and ice btorms is much greater than at
first reported. This is especially true in
young orchards. The ice formed on the
branches half an inch thick, and the trees
sometimes snapped off like pipestems.
In some cases farmers built fires under
the trees to melt the ice, while in others an
attempt was made to knock the ice. oil,
usually resulting in breaking down the
limbs. One farmer this morning reports
that his entire peach orchard of ten acres is
entirely denuded of branches, the trees
standing as bare as beanpoles.

TWO FUSILLADES WITH BOBBERS.
One Captured and the Others Escape
Though One Badly "Wounded.
Beaveb FAIXS, Jan. 18. Special
About 12 o'clock last night, Officers Green

The watchman refused and the wounded

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT
rRPICIAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCIT.l
New York, Jan. 18. New Orleans will
be the fighters' paradise this season, as it
was a year ago. Maher and Choynski and
McAuliffe and Myer will furnish two fights
worth going many miles to' see. The big
fellows are to meet each other on February
27, and the lightweights are booked for
some time next month. As their fight is
between men in the championship class, it
will attract as much attention as that be
tween big Maher and the often conquered
Choynski. McAnlifle and Myer will fight
at 140 pounds, so that their contest cannot,
'of course, be hailed as a battle for the light
weight championship. Jack is a lucky boy
to have made the match at this weight.
When he fought Austin Gibbons a few
months ago at 133 pounds he looked finely
drawn, too finely drawn by far, many peo
ple thought. Although Jack put up a
strong battle, I think no oue will deny that
a little more weight will make him much
stronger without cutting off" any of his stay
ing power. Billy Myer, erstwhile famous
as "the Streator Cyclone," will have a
heavy contract on hand when he tackles
Jack this time. He will not be in his own
home, but' on strictly neutral grouud, where
a fair,field and no favor is the rule. Mc
Auliffe need now have no fear of rnshing
the "Cyclone" intd his corner, for his
pompadour hair will not be disturbed by
love taps of bottles or blackjacks. It needs
no prophet to predict that the "Cyclone"
will find a remarkable difference between
McAuliffe's style of game now and his style
ot three years ago.
No Love Between Them.
There is bad blood between the men. Mc
Auliffe had agreed tn fight the Streator boy
a few months ago, made a good winning on
the race track, and calmly ignored poor
Myer. Wherefore, William will ru:n at
John with a glad cry. and there will be
many stiff and wicked punches when the
lads meet.
AVhat a lucky man Peter Maher is! Or,
rather, what an adroit manager his friend
Billy Madden is. Peter has made much
money since be arrived in America, and he
has made it almost without working. He
has fought four men during 12Jf minutes
within the last five months. He has beaten
them all with consummate ease, and, let us
say, five punches apiece. Think of it, you
hardworking clerks, lawyers, hod carriers,
fioets and car drivers! This young man has
ived on the best this land "affords for the
last five months, simply by striking five
blows per month. Don't you feel like
dropping your pens, briefs, hods, sonnets
and car hooks and putting on the hard
gloves?
Peter's knock out of Philadelphia ."Joe"
Godfrey in 1 minute and 13 seconds marks
him as a good man, although not necessarily
a world beater. Godfrey is nearly six leet
high and weighs about 190 pounds. He is
an awkward fellow, big as a house and very
fierce looking. But he is not a truly wicked
fighter.
Where He Was Knocked Oat.
Frank Herald, of Nicetown, by no means
a good fighter, knocked Godfrey into a
cocked hat a couple of winters ago at the
New York Athletic Club. Prank was so
fat he couldn't get out ot his own way. He
leinted "Joe" with his left and "Joe"
ducked against a beautifully timed right
hand upper cut. Another le'ft feint caused
Joseph to duck against the same old upper
cut. He fell upward and backward and
became dead to -the world. Unless Joseph
has improved very much since then Peter
Maher must have found knocking him ont a
great deal easier than rolling off a log. In
"Joe" Choynski, Peter will find a different
sort of lighter. Choynski is a warrior of
strength and skill and sand. He can do as
much fighting, if we are to believe Califor
nians, as "Jack" Fallon, "Sailor" Brown,
"Jack" Smith and "Joe" Godfrey rolled
into one. Madden is taking no risk. He has
not put up a cent of stake money. The
purse will be 510,000.
THIMK IT'S A JOKE.
The Old Flayers of the Ball Team Are
Amused at a lrcw Things.
Jake Beckley is in the city for a few
days, and he met Miller, Bafdwin and others
yesterday. They had a good laugh regard
ing the recent talk and effort of the present
head of the club concerning the make up of
the team. Of course, none of them would
be quoted, but it is a fact thai they think
the club a veritable lsughmg stock.
One member of the company, and an old
ball player, said: "Why, it only shows that
flies won't toller us when we ain't wantin'
a man like Maek and sign other ducks that
nobody doesn't have any use for. As usual,
we are in the soup 'afore we start. AVhy
don't Scandrett have a hand in this?"
The above sentiment, as far as it relates
to the general policy of the great man of
the club, is really the public sentiment.
We are, indeed, getting a remarkable team
together. Mark Baldwiu said: "Why, in
1889 Buckenberger wouldn't allow Stenzll to
p'lay a game in Colnmbus."
Earle and Steczil, both discarded players
even by minor leagues, are both to come
here according to the wisdom of W. C.
Temple, and Connie Mack, one of the best
.catchers in the world to-day, is to go. The
reason of this very singular proceeding is
only known to the new magnate. JBeckley,
Baldwin and Miller joined in the remark
yesterday that Mack was worth as many
Karles and Stenzils as could stand between
here and San Francisco. The truth is that
the good and tried players think the club
magnates are trying to play a joke on the
public.
McClelland Is Very Busy.
E. C. McClelland, the pedestrian, has
been matched to run three-men at Martin's
Ferry, February (5, a race of three miles;
that is at the end of each mile a new man
will start against McClelland, commencing
where the.latter's opponent leaves off. The
three men are Amos Paxton, Clarence
Ebbett and Bet Montgomery. McClelland
is also matched to contest against B. Shep-
Eard on roller skates, best two in three
eats, for $100 and the gate receipts.
Slark Bxldwln's Suit.
Mark Baldwin, the local pitcher, received
a letter from his attorney, It C. Dale, of
Philadelphia, yesterday, relative to his suit
against Von der Ahe. The case will come
up for hearing next month. Baldwin claims
520,000, and deserve every dollar of it ac
cording to the opinion of lots of people.
Von der Ahe caused Baldwin to be put in
jail in St. Louis without any alleged sound
reasons at all, and a Philadelphia court will
pronounce on the matter.
Still More Abont Ffefler.
One more dispatch is broadcast as to Fred
Pfeffer's whereabouts for next season. The

T. C. Fowler Boys Some of Mr. Washing
ton's Famous Irish Setters.
MOODUS, Conn., Jan. 18. Special. F.
C Fowler, the owner of the famous Oak
Grove Taking stables and Irish setter
kennels of this place, has made a deal with
W. L. Washington, the owner of theKildare
Kennels of Pittsburg, by which he has
secured the three well-known Irish setter
brood bitches, Kildare Doris, Ilefcne and
Bose Boroimhe, together with a litter of
puppies out of the last named bitch that
were sired by the famous champion Elcho,
Jr., who died this fall; they are his last get.
The price paid was a long one, but the exact
amount was not made public
Kildare Doris was bred by W. L. Wash
ington, and is sired by Champion Elcho, Jr.,
the champion of America, and is dammed
by Champion Kuby Glenmore, the cham
pion bitch of America. She is one of the
best of herbretd living, and will be shown
on the bench dnring the spring circuit.
Ileene was imported from." England last
summer; she was bred by Major T. Colt-hurst-Jameson,
ot the English army; she
is sired by Champion Ponto and dammed by
Champion Drcnagh, the two best of their
breed in Europe. Kose Boroimhe was bred
by G. E. Gray, of Minnesota, and repre
sents a strain of Irish setters owned in that
country; she is a full Bister to the famous
Tillie Boroimhe, the winner of first prize in
the Irish .setter stake at the Eastern field
trials in North Carolina last fall. These
are three of the most widely known and
best bred Irish setters in this country.
Fowler is a new light in the kennel world,
and has only within the last two years
added a kennel to his extensive breeding
farm, but has already brought together one
of the finest kennels of Irish setters in this
country, all but a few ot which have been
purchased from the Kildare Kennels, of
Pittsburg, and his purchases in this line
represent an outlay of several thousand
dollars. At the head ot his kennels is the
famous Champion Kildare.
THE COLUMBUS CLUB.
Macnates There Think of Joining the West

Colttmbits, O., Jan. 18. Columbus
will be represented in the Western Baseball
Association. The projectors of the enter
prise are meeting with genuine encourage
ment of the bankable nature and will soon
have the entire stock subscribed.
The Columbus-club will not invest its en
tire capital stock in players this year as has
been the case during the past few seasons.
The company will be solid ki a financial
point of view and quiet as determined in
its hostility to paying exorbitant salaries
and taxing themselves at the end of the
season for the amusement they have been
giving the admirers of the national game.
The home management will not favor a
season longer than six months, having be
come firmly convinced by experience that a
seven months' run of baseball cannot be
successfully conducted without loss.
The Columbus club of last year cost ?32,
000. The new club will have a salary list
of about 112,500, and under no circumstances
will this be increased to over 51,000 for the
season. With Toledo, Indianapolis, Colum
bus and Milwaukee in the East the present
managers are confident that the interest
will be revived and a profitable season fol

BOLTED THE MEETING.
The Big Pittsburg Delegation to the
Builders' Convention .
Leaves the hall in disgust.
Dissatisfied "With the Result of a Tote on
Representation.
TERT LIVELY TIMES IX CLEVELAND
rSFICIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.I
Cleveland, O., Jan. 18. The National
Association of Builders raext in sixth an
nual convention in this city to-day: There
were 114 representatives of affiliated bodies,
representing 26 filial bodies, who claimed
seats as delegates.
.The convention assembled in Y. M. C. A.
Hall at 10 o'clock, but it was almost 11
o'clock before President Arthur McAllister;
of Cleveland, called the meeting to order.
An invocation for,divine blessing was
offered, when Mayor Kose welcomed the
delegates and others in attendance to the
city on behalf of the citizens and the Cleve
land Contractors and Builders' Association.
Nothing of interest developed until the
Commtttee on Credentials reported. There
were two reports, a majority and a minority
report, and all on account of the Pittsburg
delegation. From newspaper reports it had
become generally known that Pittsburg
came here with a big delegation and pre
pared to introduce some radical changes in
the constitution, laws and methods ot the
manner of conducting the National Associa
tion. Plttsbars Not Allowed to Balldoz.
It was thought Pittsburg proposed to
bulldoze and to run the convention, and a
scheme to head her off was, therefore,
deemed necessary, and it was accomplished
at a meeting of the Board of Directors held
yesterday, at which it was decided that
Pittsburg was only entitled to four dele
gates three regulars and one at large.
Conformably with this decision of the
directory, the majority of the Committee
on Credentials reported. The Pittsburg
flelegates expected this, and.were prepared
for it. During last evening and this morn
ing they button-holed the delegates who
were here and explained their objects and
purposes to them. Their propositions-were
favorably received by a large number of
the delegates from New York, Chicago, St.
Louis and the Bmaller cities.
When the committees' reports had been
read, therefore, Mr. Blair, of Cincinnati,
moved the adoption of the majority report.
' Mr. Harris, of Philadelphia, amended to
include the minority report, as the two
coincided excepting in the matter of Pitts
burg's representation.
Debate on the question was long and to
ward its close became somewhat acrimoni
ous. The Pittsbnrgers fought against their
disfranchisement earnestly and valiantly.
Excellent speeches in defense of their posi
tion were made by W. T. Powell, W. K.
Stoughton, E. A. Knox and others. The
whole matter narrowed down finally to a
question of constitutional interpretation.
The Pittsburg Case In Good Hands.
ThetPlttsburgershad their case in good
hands and were making a distinct impres
sion on the assembly. Their opponents
perceived this, and at once proceeded to
choke off debate. President McAllister
discouraged this when he saw a dozen dele
gates rise to their feet to protest.
Then the fight was renewed with greater
earnestness. Some speakers used language
disparaging of the Pittsburgers, and they
spurned it with scorn, and intimations that
they had come to do all that was right,
honorable and in consonance with the laws
and customs of the a;sociation, but they
did not propose to be deprived of their
jubt representation.
Finally a vote was called for, and with
the result that the Pittsburgers were de
feated, the vote standing 70 to 28. When
the vote was announced Mr. Harnack, the
chairman of the delegation, announced to
the chairman that the Pittsburgers would
withdraw, and suiting the action to the
words, he led the way and the other 18 fol
lowed in single file.
This was an unexpected move, and created
consternation among the delegates from
other cities. Mr. Scribner, of St. Paul,
one of the founders of the organization,
asked the Pittsbnrgers to remain, and they
paused in the lobby until he made a speech
deploring the exodus and winding up with
a motion to seat four of the Pittsburg dele
gates and allow the other 15 seats as alter
nates. " (
A Dimper on the Convention.
The Pittsburgers immediately went into
conference, before the conclusion of which a
committee from the convention waited on
them and endavored to persuade them to re
turn under Mr. Scribner's motion. They
refused, but drafted a series bf resolutions
which were to have been presented to the
convention at to-morrow's session, but
which possibly may never reach it because
the effect of Pittsburg's withdrawal has put
such a damper on "the convention that the
Chicago delegation is going to present a
resolution for a reconsideration of the matter
causing the withdrawal, and it is probable
it will go through and the convention will
reverse itself. If this plan succeeds, the re
mainder of the session promises some lively
proceedings.
The Pittsburg delegation came here to
fight some abuses which they claim exist in
the management of the association, and will
criticize severely its refusal to take up
questions on much greater practical interest
to builders than has heretofore been done.
They want a reduction of the per capita
tax, and,Tis means of doing it, they pro
pose a reduction of the salary of the secre
tary and the lopping offofome otheritems
-of expense which they deem unnecessary or
excessive.
To-night the Pittsburgers are resting
quietly on their oars, and are being
earnestly talked to by representatives frbni
other cities. They say they will make no i
effort to get back; being content with the
attitude they have taken, but that if the
convention treats them justly they will not
be found sulking or disposed to treat it dis
courteously. ,
ONE-Cent-a-Word will secure a situation
in THE DISPATCH'S want column.
