There is nothing but a feeling of sympathy in this city over the unfortunate affair leading to the appoint ment of a guardian for Mrs. CAultman, the respected widow of the late millionaire manufacturer. Other development's have arisen to-day bearing upon the subject. Probate Judge Fawcett, before whom the hearing for the appointment of a guardian for Sirs. Anltman, as published in this morn ing's Dispatch, was held, in an interview to-day said the proceedings were in etcry respect regular and every precaution was taken. It was one of the clearest cases ex amined in his court, he said. The testimony revealed that Mrs. Anltman imagined many thincs taking place which had no existence. For instance,she thought a number of prom inent men in the city had proposed marriage to her. She became possessed of the idea that she was holding a series of Tery costly enter tainments during the past two years, which had almost ruined her financially and caused her so much trouble r.ud worry that she could hardlv bear up under it. Dr. Phillips, one of the -n itnesses examined at the inquest, wa seen by a re porter and made the tnllowins statement: "On August 21, lfcS3, 1 was called to see Mrs. Aultman in consultation and found r-er seri ously ill. I continued to attend her In con sultation with Dr. K. O. Fortnian until Xo vember9 of the same year when I ceased to call, she being convalescent. Her disease was of such a character as to involve the nerve centers. From that time her mental faculties have been weakened and she has been entirely incapacitated from attending to bnsiness. She is not in any manner her former self." John East, who it was reported was to marrv Mrs. Aultnian.said theio was no truth in the report.and also denied that Mrs. Ault man had made any extravagant presents to the family. He said he did not know whether they would tale any legal steps in the matter. He said the business relations of his firm had always been the same with Mrs. Anltman as with other customers, and there had been no extravagant bills con tracted. It may be that the appointment of the guardian will be contested. Both Hecfivo a Fhsro of Attention From Buckeye S-awmakprs. Columbus, Jan. 23. Special.)

Washigtox, Ta., Jan. 23. Special. The freshmen of Washington and Jeflerson College have decided to carry canes and have appointed a committee to select the proper stick. According to ancient custom the freshies must carry their canes on or before February 22, or announce their inten tions of doing so, so that the sophomores can appoint a committee to confer with a similar committee from the lower classes to decide upon what stylo of "rush" is desired, or, in other words, howthcy would pielcr to be "done up." The laculty is opposed tocane rushing and will lake Immediate steps to put a stop to it, If possible. Xotw ithstanding this, the ora cles state that the contest for supreniacy w ill take place the first part of next mouth. The probabilities are that the rules adopted will be that the freshmen will be given a single heavy cane, and the sophs, in order to be termed victors, will bo required to have the greater number of hands on the stick at the expiration of eight minutes. Both classes are lormidable in numbers and strength. At Danville, Va., the building and plant of the Danville Ice Company. Loss, $75,030. At Pine Bluff, Ark., a half block of busi ness houses.

Tiic hotel will be rebuilt this spring on u large scale. A very serious rupture is threatened in the new League and it is unfortunate that circumstances cause the Pittsburg club to be or at least threaten to he the aggressive party. The definite cause of the threatened trouble is the Lyons case and two telegrams yesterday, one from Lyons and the other from. President Temple, put the matter in a very grave shape as far as the harmony and confidence of the clubs of the new League is concarned. In a word the direc tors, at least the majority of themj met yesterday and very emphatically decided that if Lyons is not conceded to the Pitts burg club the entire case snail be relegated to the courts. The telegram that brought about the de cisive step was from Lyons, who is at Cin cinnati. It was to President Temple, and read as follows: "Have received letter from Nick Young requesting me to sign with New York. Powers is here. What shall I do?" President Temple, after consulting with his colleagues, replied as follows: "Don't sign with New York. You have signed with us, and we will retain you aud go to court on the matter if necessary. Your salary will be paid by the Pittsburg clnb, even though you sit on the bench the entire season." The Situation Very Grave. President Temple also received a letter irom President Young pointing out that a mail vote on the question would just de mand as much time as a vote by the League meeting. Of course the request for a mail vote was a very foolish one to start with, but now the whole question has assumed a phase of the utmost gravity. The tplegram sent Lyons yesterday by President Temple inbehalf of the local club means one of two things, viz: Lyons will play in Pittsburg next season or the Pittsburg club will insti tute legal proceedings against the authority that prevents his playing here. While this paper has conceded the fact that Lyons, as far as known evidence is concerned, belongs to Pittsburg, it is quite another matter to try andenforce his presence here bylaw it the majority of the new League clubs are determined that he shall ulav elsewhere. The truth is, President Young has requested They Call a Halt in tho Local Bowllns Tour nament in Great Style. And the Hostetter cup for the bowlers is not won yet. Tho Gyms stepped in last evening and called a halt on Bellefield. Last night's victory means that the contest for the cup has oncev more started afresh and for the first time the Gyms are In the van. Last night's rolling took place on the Belle field alleys and there was a good attendance. Following were the scores: First match : BELLEFIELD. ,Sts. J. G. Watnwrfcht .. 5 W. O. liuch 3 T.

Lyons to sign a contract to play ior the New York club, thus the authority of the League and the Pittsburg clubcome'directly in contact with eaah other. The writer questioned President Temple very closely on the matter yesterday and said: "Now admitting that by all fair rul ings and interpretations of baseball law Lyons should be ia Pittsburg and the League orders him elsewhere, will it be ex pedient to fight the matter in court?" Jtr. Temple replied: "That jnstsubmitsa correctand the proper proposition tons. There nre two leading ieature, viz.: one of principle and the other of expediency. VTe are all convinced that wo are light on the former and we have dis cussed vcrj-, very thoughtfully the latter. we. have come to the conclusion that it is just us expedient to light for a just princinle now as in future. If we are now being un fairly dealt with there is no reason to show that the unfairness won't continue If w e do not resolve to stop it. A policy of this kiud is plain and fair enough. They Mean to Fight. "But let me be understood correctly. Wo don't mean to make any threat in advance. All that our telegram to Lyons says in tuis respect is that if necessary wo will goto law; to the courts. I don't think it will bo necessary, because tlie League wilP see the justice of our demands when the case is argued. President loung evidently has not leamca all the facts of tho case and this prompts us to think that his opinion will ciKinge wuen lie Knows ail. "But I want it distinctly understood that in this instance we mean to light for prin ciple, even though tho club costs me and ono or two others $10,000 a year apiece, ir we win on principle in a court then no city can say wo have acted in tho wrong. Tho Pitts burg club defeated thoftAssociation on tho Barkley case, and tlusrcnse is clearer and more simple. To say the least of it the new League is now in the hands of Association spirits, and while we think there is a desire to treat us fairly we mean to sea that no lact is misconstrued or no rule distorted so as to deal nnjustly with us. In a word the Pittsburg ball club is not in the new League as a shuttlecock, but as an intelligent factor." The above statements, official from the local club "and heartily endorsed by Vice President Kerr and Secretary Scandiettaro very important. They contain much trutli and it is a pity that some worthier object Limn jjvons was as siuKe. ami 11 mere is an element of unfairness nievailingit is just as well to fight now as later on. It is never wise tograspanettlotendcr handed. If the club has mado a resolvo to stick up for a principle let tho contest be no weak efforts on its part. But let the officials be satisfied that their quarrel is just and equiped with that know ledge they will be doubly armed. On the other hand neither President Young or any other League magnate can afford to allow this case to go to wrong issue. They must beware, because if events prove they nave been in the wrong all in jurious consequences will be of their creat- Buchanan 4 McQniston 3 C. A'tdy 4 W.

Philadelphia, Jan. 25. The Supreme, Court to-day entered final judgment in one of the many proceedings instituted by the State to recover arrears of State tax upon capital stftck from corporations against which it had not previously been assessed. 'The case in which the decision was rendered is the suit against the Penni sylvania Company operating the line Tvest ol Pittsburg. Thq State's claims against the company ran from 1872 and amounted to over ?1,125, 000, In 1874, Auditor General Temple re ceived from Attorney General Lear a written opinion advising him that this tax was not collectible.' In consequence of this opinion the tax was never assessed until 1888, when an account was prepared by the AuditonGeneral's office and given a qualified approval by the State Treasury. The Commonwealth thereupon brought suit to recover it, and secured a favorable judg ment in the Common Pleas Court, of Dauphin county, from which the company appealed. In reversing the judgment, the Supreme Court holds', in an opinion delivered by Justice Williams, that the account is no the statement of a current and accruing act count, but the restatement of a settled ae count, aud that it can only be done through the medium of the Board of Bevision. The Court further remarks: "If this extraordi nary demand ever reaches that body, its members will consider all the circumstances and determine whether 'law and equity' re quire tiiem to unsettle the work of a score of years, regardless" of the consequences to private interests, for the sake of determin ing a question of law that may be settled at any time in an orderly manner by the act of the Auditor General in stating accruing taxes."

An Allegheny General Hospital Nnrse Re signs and Talks. Fresh trouble has broken out among the nurses and authorities " at the Allegheny General Hospital, and in consequence Miss Martha A. Bustler, one ot the nurses, has resigned. The lady alleges cruel treatment -made her resignation necessary. She says she had been connected with the hospital for nine months and never had any trouble until KMiss Perkins recently became head nurse. "I first had trouble withAIiss Perkins about the fumigation of a room which had been occupied by a diphtheria patient," Miss Bustler said last night. "She then acted ugly. I afterward signed a paper asking for her removal. I was. afterward given a patient in the surgical ward. It was little Lizzie Lewis, who was badly burned. The child screamed frightfully from pain. Miss Perkins or dered me to hold my hand over her month, saving she was not suffering and it was only a display of temper. I refused to obey, and I suppose that was termed insubordination on my part. The child died that same night. I also refused to mend some soiled comforts and sheets which contained the germs of disease. That was my second of fense. "Then I was taken ill, having been at tacked with tonsilitis. The resident physi cian called upon me but once for one whole week. Miss Perkins violated the rules by prescribing for me. Before I recovered I was ordered on duty. I was too weak to sit up and I refused to go. Then I was sent to room 8 and no one was allowed to visit me for a week, save Miss Perkins and a staff nurse. It was nothing less than a week's imprisonment for insubordination. As soon as I was able to sit Mip I was sus pended for a month. Realizing that it would be exceedingly disagreeable to re sume work again, I sent in my resignation a few days ago." Miss Tildesley, Superintendent of the hospital, said last night: "All the allega tions made by Miss Bustler are false. Had she not.resigned she would, certainly have been discharged. She repeatedly disobeyed orders, and her disposition was to create trouble." The annual meeting of the contributors of the hospital will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock. A new board is to be elected for the ensuing year, reports of the officers re ceived, and other routine business trans acted. It is believed that the, old officers will be re-elected.
