TROUBLE AMONG THE COLLEGES.
Charlej Mitchell Issncsa Surprising Chal
lenge to Sullivan.
(GENERAL SPOUTING KEATS OP THE DAT
It rear be exceedingly interesting to the
local baseball public to knotr that the
' officials of the Pittsbur? Baseball Club are
making efforts to sign the "Only KeL" In
other -words negotiations are going
,on -with the object of signing II. J.
iKellv, the famous catcher. It may
,be that the news is being prematurely
iraade public and that the deal will, there
fore, be interfered vith. So far nothing
has been heard from Kelly, but a telegram
was received from President Soden, of the
; Boston club, jeMerday -which held out
pome hope tha"t Kelly "could be secured by
the local officials.
A few days ago the local directors held a
meeting and decided to offer quite a good
salary for Kelly, believing that he wouid be
-an excellent attraction now tuat unm,
"Weaver and Lyons will not be here. Presi
dent Soden was asked to assist in consum
msting the deal and that gentleman wired
-vestcrd3y to the effect that nothing could
le done at present, and that he was sending
a letter to the Pittsburg officials with all
particular:.
It is well known that the Xew York club
ofhcials, at least a majority of them, are
anxious to have Kelly this season, but there
is a strong opposition in that city against
his going'therc. It is thought that as soon
as it is known that the Pittsburg clnb is
after him the Xcw York club will sign him.
If this is not done, it is likely that he will
'come to thi oitv.
"While Michael has had a very erratic
career during recent years there is every
reason to believe that lie will be on his best
behavior during the coming season, and it
lie i, he certainly will be a great card for
any club in the League. He is an excellent
pljycr ami knows everything about the
jnime. The letter from Jlr. Souen which is
on its way here may throw more light on
the matter.
Manager Ituckenbenier aud Vice Presi
dent Kerr were questioned on the matter
Jal evening, and whjle they regretted that
the news had become public, they stated
that thev were trving their best to Fecuro
Kelly. President Temple could not be seen,
but lie is as enthusiastic in his efforts to
ign Kel as anybody. If the deil is made
it will be undoubtedly a great benefit to
the local club.

'Talking about Hot Springs," says Harry
"Weldnn, "is a reminder that Iluck Kwing
has displayed excellent judgment in his de
termination to go to that resort for his bad
arm. There is no doubt about the curative
properties of its waters for the dead arm
complaint But for Hot Springs both Itad
bourne and Latham would h&e been out or
the business. Had had an arm that he
could not raise to his head in 1880, and one
month at the Springs restored it so that he
y ut irjJJfuvr7-ir.VriJrWmr-Va-my,-'a?.-&
would yet be pitching but for the fact that
be has so much money that the diamond has
'lot its attraction for the old hoss. Every
bodv knrws what Latham's arm was at the
close of 1 WW.
"It was as dead as the Sunday law in St.
Xouis. He could scarcely put on his collar.
i:erjbody also knows that last season
Latham was throwing about as good as any
third baseman in the country. It was due
entirely to a three weeks' sojourn at the
"Hot Springs. Buck Kwing will leave for
that place about the lQth of next month,
and it is a good bet that he will return w ith
liis arm as good as it ever was. If he does
look out for the New Yorks."

The Old Association Attorney Says a Few
Kind Words for the Colonel.
LonsviM.E, .Ian. 29. Qxsrfaf. Attor
ney Phelps was asked to-day concerning the
report that he had not been consulted jy
Colonel Itogers in regard to the national
agreement, and said:
"That does him an injustice. During the
construction of the National agreemeiil he
was in constaut communication with me and
J was submitted a copy before its publica
tion. It is true that I objected to several
things in the agreement, but Colonel Rogers
fcaid both he and President Young approved
of it. and of course were enough to carry
it. I have but little doubt that in the maiti
the agreemeut will be satisfactory."
The Case Sot Scttlcfl,
NTnw Yoi:k, Jan. 29. Special At the
meeting of the directors of the Xcw York
Baseball Club yesterday Johil B. Day made
a surprising statement to the effect that he
had received a letter from President X. E.
Xoung, of the League, stating that the
Moran case had not been definitely settled,
and that in all probability the player would
be awarded to Xew Yo k after all. This,
coming, as it does, directly after Mr.
Youug's published statement that Moran
had been assigned to Sy Louis, will be some
thing in the nature of a puzzle to the base
ball public. President Young has either
been misquoted or he is trying to give an
imitation oi a weather vane.
"We've done nojthing!" said the mag
nates, but they were only joking.

YOTHG APPEOVES LYONS CONTBACr,
And Say a Few Very Plain Words About
Bombastic l'lavers.
Washington-, Jan. 29. Special "I
have just approved the contract of Denny
Lyons with the New York Baseball Club,"
remarked President Young this afternoon,
"and I trust that will end the controversy
that has been going ou regarding the loca
tion of this-playcr for the ensuing season.
There need be no heartburnings or future
bickering about this decision ot the Com
mittee on Players, for Lyons was origin
ally assigned to Xew York, and no contract
was broken with any other club in giving
him his present assignment What is true
in his case applies with equal force to
Danny Richardson, with the "Washington
Baseball Club, and Pfeffer, of the Chicago
team. Both these men were assigned to the
clubs named, and they will play with them
or not at all, unless the club management
make other and more satisfactory arrange
ments. "We might as well put a stop first as last
to the bombastic utterance of certain ball
players aud teach them a salutary lesson.
If a player is dissatisfied with his locality,
that is no fault of the committee charged
with the task of making assignments.
Catcher Moran has been given to St. Louis
for the reason that when the selections were
being made for New York he was only dis
cussed as a possibility by that organization,
whereas President Von der Ahe claimed
him outright and was prepared to sign him
immediately. John S. Corkhill has been
assigned to the Pittsburg baseball organi
zation by our committee, and he, too, will
have to play where we have sent him."
Other contracts promulgated by Presi
dent Young to-day are: "With Louisville:
J. E. Canavan, J. M. Hess, J. E. Seery and
Thomas J. Dowse. "With "Washington:
Pitcner Francis J. Foreman and Ontfielder
G E. Duffee. "With Pittsburg: John S.

A WONDEBFTJL PACES.
Frank Smith Shows a 1:53 Gait on a Cov
ered Track.
Buffalo, Jan. 29. Sjwia?. A party
of 200 representative horsemen ot Buffalo,
"Western New York and Eastern points
were guests of Henry C. Jewett to-day at
his famous stock farm near East Aurora.
The full stable of flyers, including some 40
horses, were exhibited on the covered track,
the only one of the kind in the country. It
is a mile track, of which three-quarters is
under cover, and the horses are trotted and
exercised ali winter.
The feature of the day was the phenome
nal pcriormance "of the stallion Frank
Smith, a green pacer, who coming 5 years
old made the remarkable eighth of a mile
in 11 seconds or a 1:52 gait. He was ac
companied by a running mate, Koseo. The
rnnner could not keep up with the terrific
pace. Frank Smith was driven bv Mina
West. The stallion is sired by Coronet,
dam Marie Scott, pacing record, 254. Smith
has no record and lias never been sent in a
race. The exhibition of speed was a
marvelous one. The stallion has been
trained and driven as a trotter until last
season, when his sait was changed to a
pacer and he developed wonderiul endurance
and speed.
Mr. Jewett will probably send him in the
grand circuit next year. Alter a lunch
served in sumptuous style, the party re
turned to Buffalo on a special train on the
Buffalo, Rochester and rittsburg road. The
stallion was named after the sporting editor
of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.

YALE IS EICKIHG.
A Knmor That Her Athletes Are Sore at
Harvard and Princeton.
Nfav Haves, Jan. 29. There is more
mystery on the campus regarding a meeting
which Yale and Princeton representatives
held in New York yesterday that sur
rounded Stagg's football signals last year.
Manager "W. B. Franklin, Captain Mur
phy, of the baseball association, and "W. B.
"Wright, of the football association, returned
from New York last evening.
A conference was held with Princeton
representatives, and a proposition consid
ered to have the annual Thanksgiving day
football game played between Harvard and
Princeton instead of Yale and Princeton.
Yale does not favor the scheme, but it is
generally understood that Princeton is de
sirous ot joining with Harvard.
Yale's representatives state that Harvard
was not represented in the meeting, and
express surprise at her non-appearance.
All of them decline to discuss the situ
ation, but it is evident that there is ill
ieeling on the part of Yale toward both
Harvard and Princeton.
HITCHEEL TO THE FE0HZ
He Offers to Ffcht John L. In a 16-Foot
Itlns.
St. Louis, Jan. 29. Charley Mitchell
has challenged John L. Sullivan to meet
him in a 12 or 1G foot ring. The defi is the
outgrowth of the declaration Sullivan is
credited with making in Butte City that,he
would like to get Mitchell in a 12-foot ring.
On reading this the English boxer became
angered and telegraphed President Fnlda,
of the California Club, tha't he would fight
Sullivan in a small ring before the club if
it would offer a purse, and that he would
Eut up a stake of $5,000 on the outside that
e would win.
Manager Billy Thompson, to whom Mr.
Mitchell and Slavin are under contract, is
authority for the above, and states that
Mitchell has received a reply from Presi
dent Fulda that the California Athletic
Club will offer for the contest the largest
purse ever given by an athletic clnb for a
tight. Thompson now regards the fight as
made.
V0NLY ALSO OBJECTS.
The St. Louis Stagnate Has a Few Words to
Say to Roger.
St. Louis, Ma, Jan. 29. President Von
der Ahe sai.d to-night: "When John L
Rogers drew-up the national agreement
without the aid of Nick Young and Zach
Phelps and had it published before the
League had even acted upon it he must
have thought he was the 'big I am of base
ball. A little consultation with his asso
ciates did not seem to bother him in the
least.1. He did not even know that Phelps
existed. "He. seems to think that no one
dares to question his acts. 'But there are
several pcoplewho will dare to question his
self-assumed powers of running the 12-club
League to suit himself. Rogers kept the
National League in liot water lor many,
many years, and he is only too eager to in
fuse the spirit of throwing people down just
for pure meanness in the new League, but
in the new order of things whether or not
he will be allowed to carry things with a
high hand remains to be seen. The general
opinion is that he will not have his old-time
sway in the new League. He will be
stopped. It is safe to say t'e Rogers agree
ment, recently published and now before
the League for adoption, will not beadorjted
by February 1, but will in a greatly revised
form be taken care of at the March meet

ACAED OK THE DOOH
Announces to Depositors That Chi
cora's Bank Is Closed, and
THIS TDIE WILL REMAIN SHUT.
Cashier Hojt Depended on Oil Men, Who
Failed to Tay Their Notes.
NEWS! K0TES FROM KEAKBL, TOWNS
TSPrCIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCIM
Ciiicoba, Pa., Jan. 29. The greatest
consternation prevailed here to-day when it
was announced that the Butler County
Bank had closed its doors, this time not to
re-open. This morning the following notice
was posted on the doors of the bank:
Being unable to realize on its assets and
meet its immediate obligations nnd de
mands, this bank has been forced to close
its doors, and the undersigned has made an
assignment to Francis Murphy for the bene
fit of its creditors. H. J. Hoyt, Cashier.
Last September the bank closed its doors
for a few days, owing, ai the cashier 6aid,
"to a lack of funds." Depositors patiently
waited until Cashier Hoyt had made several
trips to Pittsburg and Cincinnati, where he
said he would be able to secure enough
funds to resume business. Mr. Hoyt then
returned to this place, when a consultation
of creditors was called. Mr. Hoyt pre
sented a paper for their signature, which,
after some consideration, was duly signed.
This paper pledged the depositors to accept
the amount of their deposits in quarterly
payments of 25 per cent each.
The bank then resumed businesi, and it
was hoped it was as strong as ever. De
positors showed their confidence by making
larger accounts than ever, and "a general
ieeling of relief was expressed when the
first payment ol 25 per cent on deposits fell
due and was promptly paid.
To-day, however, the second installment
of 25 per cent fell due, and when depositors
came in from the country for miles around
to receive their portion of the deposit they
were confronted by the placard on the bank
door.
Cashier Hoyt refused to be interviewed,
but it was learned that the primary cause of
the bank's lailure was that several heavy
notes with apparently good signers and in
dorsers had not been paid. The bank had
depended on these notes for their quarterly
payment to depositors. The notes were
from prominent business and oil men, and
their failure to pay has created a general
reeling oi uisirusi.
This is the only bank here. It is known
that the bank has notes and papers in its
vaults from prominent business and oil men
of this city aud county, and if they are
pushed one failure is likely to follow on the
Siecls of another. Francis Murphy, the
assignee, is of the firm of Campbell & Mur
phy, oil producers. It is believed that in
the end dollar for dollar w ill be paid. No
statement is yet available, as onlv Mr. Hoyt
knows the bank's standing, It is believed,
however, that the deposits will reach '60,000,
with assets all of that, Mr. Hoyt owns
large interests in the Cherry Run Coal Com
pany, of Clarion county, and has also large
oil properties.
H'MILLAN MUST HAHB.
A Death Warrant for Ono Who Killed His
Wire With a Bed-Hot Poker.
HARRisiroriG, Jan. 29. Special A
death warrant was issued from the Execu
tive Department to-day for the execution
of Edward McMillan, April 7. McMillan
murdered his wife in Luzerne county under
peculiarly horrible circumstances. He
went home drunk and qnarreled with his
wife. He then beat her with a poker and
burned her in such a frightful manner that
she died. McMillan shows no evidence of
repentance, but spends his time blas
pheming. It is likely that this year's executions
will largely exceed those of last year, when
.only seven men were hanged in this State.
During .this mouth,' the first of the year,
three death Warrants were issued for Mc
Millan, P'.trick Fitzpatrick, of Allegheny,
and Chaiies "Wall, of "Wyominc, both to be
hanged on March 8. The papers in the case
of V, illiam H. Paiuton, convicted in York
of murder and robbery, have been received,
and his death warrant will be issued in a
few days. During January two .death sen
tences were commuted to imprisonment for

TJp-Monougalicla Itlver Miners Say They
Can't Stand Railroad Competition.
Clarksburg, "W. Va., Jan. 29. Sjxcial
Reports to-day from the up-Monongahela
district indicate that within the next 30
days there will be the most formidable
strike ever inaugurated in this district The
operators this time will be the aggressors.
One of their number said to-day:
The miners in our district aropow getting
3V cents a bushel, or one-half cent more
than railroad rates. We river operators cn
not afford to pay it, and wewill ask the
miners toacrept a half-cenr reduction. Ir
they decline to accept It we will shut down.
While some operators do not care to push
the matter before April 1, 1 am in lavor of
pushing the matter before 30 days. The
railroads havo so cut into our shipping
points that we cannot stand their inroads
any longer.
This statement was shown to one of the
leading members of the State Miners'
Union, who said: "Let them try it on. "We
are tired of paying the high penalties of ex
orbitant prices at companv stores and the
general high rates charged miners, and we
would as soon die of idleness as overwork.
If this reduction is forced, every man will
stop work."

AH OPEEATOE'S FATAL BL"0NDEB.
He Acknowledges It in Open Conrt to Save
an Innocent Dispatcher.
Ekie, Jan. 29. fecial. The case of
Mrs. Catharine Eeiser versus the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company, operating the
Erie & Pittsburg Railroad, has occupied
the Court of Common Pleas this week. In
1885 two passenger trains collided near
Middlesex, and Engineer O. A Bates and
Fireman Adam Reiser, were killed and
several others injured for life. It was al
leged that the operator, N. "W. Crossman,
at Wheatland, copied a train order wrong.
-Mrs. Reiser brought action and secured a
judgment against the railroad company for
$5,400. A new trial was granted and the
railroad company, at the trial this weeK,
brought the operator who had sent the fatal
order, into court.
Crossman testified he made the mistake,
and it was not the mistake at the train
dispatcher's office. He said that, instead
of taking the train order on the manifold,
making thiee copies of it, he took it on a
piece of clip and then transcribed it. lie
kept his secret until, hearing the Erie
lawyers were putting the mistake udoii
Assistant Train Dispatcher J. F. Sheehy,
le determined to take the terrible responsi
bility himself. "Upon the strength of that
evidence the Court gave the jury binding
instructions that the accident was the re
sult of the carelessness of a company em
ploye, and therefore' plaintiff could not
recover.? .Judgment was entered accord
ingly. Upon this case hinges other damage
suits, and if a new trial is not granted all
the other cases will fall. Crossman is al
most; an imbecile as the result of his mental
suffering.

TORIES GIVE IT"
They Concede a Liberal Majority of
60 Even as Early as May. .
THE FIXED END OF PARLIAMENT.
Salisbury Wen't Delay Longer,. Fearinc
a Uore Crashing Defeat
CONSERVATIVES ASK X0 MUGWUMP AID
ICOrTRfcnT. IvI. BT THE XEWTOBK ASSOCIATED
l'KESS.3
London, Jan. 29. If no change occurs
in the political situation serious enough to
cause the Ministers to reconsider their de
cision, Parliament will be dissolved in May.
A majority of the Cabinet agreed at the
last Cabinet Council to hasten the elec
tions. The meeting occurred under the
shadow of the result ot the Rossendale con
test. A report of the Central Conservative As
sociation, summarizing the advices received
from agents in the electoral centers on the
chances of early and delayed dissolution,
was before the Ministers, leading to a con
currence of opinion that a speedy appeal to
the country is the best policy. A highly
placed Ministerialist states that this deter
mination is largely due to an official calcu
lation based on the best attainable data,
that the general elections, if taken soon,
will give Gladstone a majority of abont CO,
including Irish vote, while postponement
of the elections is certain to increase the
Liberal majority and consolidate the Lib
eral ranks, at the same time weakening the
Unionists.
The Dissident-Tory Alliance Doomed.
Among the unexpected results of the
Rossendale election, the impending rupture
between the Dissidents and Conservatives
is the most important. The Tories have
long been fretting under the supposed dicta
tion of the Dissident leaders, and have
hitherto submitted solely because they be
lieved that the Dissidents commanded a
number of electoral districts where the Con
servative chances were hopeless. The re
sult in Rossendale disillussioned the Con
servatives regarding the fighting strength
of their allies.
The leading Conservative papers through
out the country, which better represent the
sentiments and policy of the party thando
the London organs, concur in demanding
that the Conservatives be freed from an
alliance which now weakens instead of
strengthening the genuine Conservative
forces.
A rupture, however, would not imply
hostility. The cessation of the alliance,
according to the Conservative argument,
would not prevent the Dissidents retaining
what few seats their own voting power
really commands.
No Bight to Mold the Party Policy.
In constituencies where they still hold
some voting remnant, they ought, it is
maintained, either to hold aloof from con
tests or support the Conservative candidate
without claiming a right to mold Conserva
tive policy.
The signal for a revolt against the Conservative-Unionist
comnact fitly comes
from the headquarters of unionism in Bir
mingham, where a conference of Conserva
tive candidates concluded that the time had
come to dissolve the alliance. As a large
number of Conservative agents urge that
the question ought to be immediately set
tled, Lord Salisbury will be asked to take
the sense of the party at a reunion of the
Conservative members as soon as the House
of Commons assembles.
The dissolution can hardly be effected be
fore Whitsuntide. The Ministers propose
to-devote the whole session until Easter to
the estimates. The Irish local government
bill will be introduced on the verge of the
Easter recess, and the second reading will
be had immediately after the recess. The
Ministerialists rely upon obstruction to
the measure to afford them a reasonable ex
cuse for an appeal to the country.
Discouraged Conservatives Not in the Blnff.
The precarious prospects of the coming
session arc having an effect on the personal
arrangements of the members of the House
of Commons. About 120 members will not
seek a re-election. Others, especially
Conservatives knowing the Ministerial
plans, will not take residences for the sea
son. The proceedincs in Parliament prom
ise to be marked by listless expectancy,
everybody waiting for the signal to go.
The Irish party has been called to meet
at Westminster February 9 to re-elect the
Chairman. In view of the expiring of the
present Parliament, Mr. McCarthy is will
ing to retain the chair for the session.
The Conservative rural conference, in im
itation of the recent Liberal conference,
proved a. burlesque of a popular gathering.
After a prolonged canvass among laborers,
Mr. Chaplain's agents collected at Ely a
"scratch" body of 210 pseudo-delegates
composed of local election managers, pub
licans and hired rustics seducetl by free
railway tickets and free quarters at the
hotels. ,,
Not a Dignified Gathering;.
A smoking concert yesterday evening,
with free beer, opened the conference.
After the singing of some comic songs, Sir
Edward Birnbeck, M. P., talked on the
need of parish councils, laborers' allotments
and 'old-age pensions, and promised legisla
tion to compensate farmers for pigs killed
on account of swine fever.
To-day Mr. Chaplin, although in a more
serious vein, spoke similarly, and invited
the delegates to state their views for sub
mission to the Cabinet, with the view of
Ministerial promotion of bills dnring the
ensuing session. Much speech-making en
sued, but no resolutions were passed. It is,
obvious that the character of the conference
will prevent its having the smallest in
fluence on future legislation.
The suicide ot iiume Webster, the horse
breeder, has been discovered to be due to
worse than monetary troubles. He used
forged signatures on bills amounting to over
40,000. A bill presented for payment
Monday with" the signature forged led to
the discovery of other forgeries.
lie Forged an American' Name.
The name of an American financier, long
a friend of "Webster and associated with
him in the Erbreville Freehold Company,
had been used on the specious paper; SVeb
ster's affairs became so desperate that the
frauds he committed, even if they had not
been revealed, would not suffice to cover his
debts.
The special night services held in London
Tabernacle in behalf of Mr. Snurgeon are
largely attended. "Waiting near the divine's
sick bed are his wife, his sen Charles, two
deacons and other friends. Private tele
grams from Mentone, received to-nighj, re
lcr to a j"prayerful, but despairing group,"
beside the dying pastor.
The "Westminster Chapter will support
the nomination of Mgr. Gilbert as Arch
bishop in succession to the late Cardinal
Manning. The meeting February 13 will
forward the nominations to the Vatican.
Various Item of Court Cosulp.
There is a repftt in court circles that the
Czarina, accompanied by Grand Duke
George, will join the Prince and Princess
of Wales at Cannes as soon as her health
permits her to travel. The Grand Duke is
menaced with lung disease.
The Prince and Princess of AVales have
been tor two days guests of the Duke of
Devonshire at Compton Place,. Eastbourne.
The visit was made in extreme privacy, the
only other guest being the Duchess of Man
chester. Princess May of Teck is depressed
and in poor health, and the Queen has in

London, Jan. 29. Lady Brooke is
not
receiving a Yery warm support in her pro
ject to raffe a fund to relieve the operatives
in Essex who are ill with influenza. Her
idea is to distribute about 2,000 bottles of
brandy among the sick, on the theory that

effects of the repressing malady.
The British Medical Journal declares that
brandy is of no benefit in snch cases, and in
fact is likely to be more harmful than the
