IJecklev.... Bierhauer. flrocart.. . Farrell JIanlon Manager Buckenberger has completed all arrangements for the scries of exhibition games to be played by the local ball team prior to the opening of the season. The arrangements are exceedingly interesting and will doubtless be very pleasing to the local patrons of the game. The programme agreed upon shows that the season will be here very soon, and it only seems like a week or so since the last one ended. The approaching season will introduce to us many new laces and new arrangements all round: in fact, the changes will be so numerous and so great that cranks and fans of the game are sure to be wishing that the opening dy was here. Tlic Exhibition Programme. One of the most interesting features of the exhibition series at Exposition Park will be the three games between nines made up of players signed by the local club. This is to give all an opportunity to play, so thpt comparisons can to some extent be made. The-e three games will be played on April 4, j and C, and on the first day the two nines will be made up as follows: Position. Second Xine. First bae Mack Second base Brtirgs ..Snort. Miller Third base Whitney Center field Camp Swartwood Khrht Woodcock Smith Left Corkhill Eaile Catcher. Murphy Baldwin .Pitcher Elirct On the second day Camp will pitch for the regulars and Galvin for the second nine, and on the third day Smith wiil be in the box for the regulars "and 'Woodcock for the other nine. On the third day Corkhill will plav in left field for the regulars and Camp will likely play in the field for the second nine Sure to Ite Interesting. These games are sure to be interesting, as it will give the public a chance to see all the players now signed by the local club. Of course, all these players will not be re tained, but they will be all ordered to re port here on April 1. Of course, the pro gramme may be somewhat altered if any deal is made wherebv any of the players are released to other clubs. On April 1 and 2 the local team will plav the East End Gyms, and on the 7th and 9th the Milwaukee team will be here. On the 11th and 12th the local team will play at Columbus. The games with the Gyms and the Milwaukees are sure to be of interest, as they will go some way toward showing what our champion amateurs are like, and also what class the Milwaukee team is likily to be in. The club's colors have definitely been de cided' upon. The home uniform will be white with blue trimmings, and the travel ing suit will be blue with red trimmings and white jacket. ' A Very Good Idea. A first-class gymnasium will also be put up on the grounds and it will have all kinds ol gymnastic apparatus. All the players now in the citv will commence active train ing on the grounds to-morrow. JJurlng a conversation yesterday after noon Manager Buckenbergersaid: "It is the earnest wish of the club management that the team be in as good condition as possible when the season opens and everything that can be done will be done by the club to help the players. The gymnasium will be per manent so that players at any time during the year may go to exercise. AVe are much interested in the games we have arranged between two nines of our own players and we would like all local patrons of the game go and judge as to the merits of each player. The games will be very important ones to the players. " HOW VONDY WAS FOOLED. Very Good Prospects for That Lively Or ganization This Season. BitADi-ORD, Feb. 13. Mr. J. A. Llndsey, of this city, who has been President of the Western New York and Pennsvbyania League sinco Its organization, comes for ward witli a suggestion for the arrangement ol next season's circuit. His idea is to tako in the cities of the original Leasue of 1S9(J Bradford, Dunkirk, Erie, Jamestown, Mead villo and Olean. The Bradford club, he says, can be reorganized without an ellort and of the entire circuit proposed it is believed that Dunkirk wilt be the only town that will require any special effort. Judging from past experiences there is no minor Leagno w itli better prospects of living thrmurh the season than tlio above, nor any in which' a better article of ball is put up. With a moaerato saiarv limit, rigidly en forced, a circuit arranged as above would be more likely to carry the clubs through a moderately successful season than any which has vet been sinrsrestpd. Then-will be no scarcity of good playing material during the coming season, and now, instead of early summer, is the time to set the ball rolling.

FITJTS TEAMING MATE. Wallace Kosi Gives His Opinion About English and American Kowers. Wallace Boss, the well-known sculler, paid a visit to this office last evening. He is looking in excellent condition and certainly wears well. He is in this city to contest against Ed Moniger in a 'land boat" race at the Fifth Avenue' Museum this week. Speaking of scullers, Wnllaco said: "1 have just received a letter to-day from Billy Spencer, the ox-sculler of England. Ho tells ine that East is sroing to get married shortly and that I will not zetnnvrnceon with him. Spencc speaks well of Haines, and thinks ho is the coming champion of England. About American scullers? Well, O'Connor is a good man, hut if Tcemcr were in bis best condition I would prefer Teemer to O'ConirfK I still hold the opinion that when all is well Teemer can row a wonderiul race.'"

When nn amateur Vanquelin boxed Kilrain; in fact Juke was tho first good man he ever faced. Those who have seen Maher say that tho New Orleans man has the Irish man's build, and spars something in Mailer's style. Fitz will have to bo tho pounding bag ol Vanquelin. or make one of.liim. Tho big fellow has been employed asa trial horse for tho middle-weight champion. Van Ilcest was to meet any 117 or J18 pound man. He is wlllln? to lWlic C.'al McCarthv. and thinks he could do better with him than ! either Warren or Callaghan. Van Heest savs lie would aloliko to have a go with Dixon at 116 pounds. Harney, of St. Louis, wants to fight Jimmy Griffin at 128 pounds. Carroll, however, has his eye on bicger game thin Harney, and will probably secure for Griffin a good match early in tho spring.

Buck said: "Vondy and his wire together with tho former's baseball team were traveling East "one night, and about 1 a. h. Mrs. Von der Ahe desired a drink of beer. Her lord and master hopped out of his berth and went to the buffet steward. Vondy was sure there was plenty of beer aboard the train, be cause before retiring to bed the steward had told him there was a carload. The boss manager asked for two bottles of beer. 'Not a drop lett,' bald tho steward. 'My Got, who's dhrunk it all?' -Tour plavers, whom vou told me were not touching a drop, emptied every bottle aboard of the train be fore they turned in, was the steward's reply. . "Well, VonC had every player on the train hauled out of his berth and the latter searched for beer. When none could bo found he said, 'One bottle would have sived' ron all.

Biciitzr Is giving baseball plavers the kind of advice nowadays that should be heeded. IT Is reported that Cincinnati Is going to trade Catcher Morgan Murphy for one of the Boston pitchers. Tun 'New Torks expect great things from Sharrott this year. Blessed are they who expect nothing, etc. The Indications are that this will be the busiest season for local amateur baseball playing that there has ever been. Berger Is still waiting for something to "turn J up." lie is a good niaver ana wouia oeotaseto many clnbs in the big League. Theiik has been much Jeering at President Temple's placing the Cincinnati team so far up the list, but the Reds may fool a lot of people. Top" Swett. the catcher who came out from California to show .the Bostonlans how the back stop should be guarded, is back on the 'Frisco's roll. There may be consolation In the fact that every body at present Is rating the Pittsburg team as an absolute tallender. Last year everybody had the team among the leaders. BASE stealers will not have such an easy time In the League next season conoldering-that- that or ganization will hare the crreatcst army of catchers ever withered together into one organization.

Though the de fense lost its fight yesterdayjn the cele brated Delamater case, in demanding that the appraisers' figures be placed on record to show that the bank was insolvent years ago, to-day it gained a decided victory by showing positively that the appraisers' fig ures were too high. It will be remembered the appraisers' statements showed the as sets to be less than one-third of the liabili ties, and the defense objected to-his papers being placed on evidence on this account. To-day further figures were introduced, that no objections could knock out, which showed that the appraisers' figures on assets w ere very liberal indeed, and that depos itors have less hope than aver ot receiving anything like a lair return for their money. Judjjc Henderson considers the case import ant enough to announce to-day that' he will postpone all license hearings and applica tions until this case is settled. Analyzing Delamater Property Valnes. "When court opened at 9 o'clock Assignee Haskins was placed on the stand and con tinued to place estimates of value on various items in the Delamater assets or to state his inability to do so. Mr. Haskins said yes terday that he wonld prepare a sort of an estimate In writing as to his valuation of all items or overdiafts not already brotmht up, but defendant's counsel to-day objected to the admission of this estimate, inasmuch as they had so far been Itemized, and that many amounts should not bo lumped as a whole. This objection was sustained by tho Court. This itemizing process is neccsaril v,a slow and tedious one, and will prolong the tiial. So far, it appeals that tlio estimates obtained in this way upon the witness stand will be as low or lower than the lrtventorv of tho appraisers, which was less than one'-third of the liabilities, although there were many items in leal estate and stocks which Assignee Haskins would not or, at least could not. place a valuation on. Mr. Haskins wns the only witness called during tho forenoon, except ono who testi fied to a knowledge ora farm in this county belonging to defendants, and who placed a valuation on the same. Court adjourned at noon, counsel, jury and spectators all seem ing somewhat bored by the monotony of tins stngoot rue trial. The afternoon ses sion was brief, court adjourning nt 3:30 until Monday. A Company With Large Expectations. J. Levering Jones, of Philadelphia, was called to the stand at,2 o'clock. Mr. Jones is said to be here as friendly to the Dela maters' side of the case. His testimony was in relation to tho Philadelphia Finance-Company, and it was elicited that in May, or early in June, as near as Mr. Jones could re member, George Wallace Delamater had loaned the Finance Company $53,000. It ap pealed by Mr. Jones that tho Finance Com pany was a Scheme With lnnre exnentntlnns and that the members, among whom was G. W. Delamater, advanced funds when asked; that Delamater had received no security for this loan, but that he believed he had drawn back $13,000. leaving a balance of $45,000. Mr. Haskins wns recalled by the defense and testified to an Item of $45,000, cor responding to that loaned to the Finance Company. , It is expected that Expert Accountant J. C. Robinson, of Pittsburg.will be called next week by the prosecution. Sir. Robinson was employed by the committee of 'nnpreferred creditorsto examine the Delamater bank accounts and his testimony will bo awaited withintorest. -t. - CUBED BUT CEAZED. in a happy state of mind.

TWO SIDES OF AH 1NSUEAHCE MIX. Receiver Griffith and President Tewell Each Has a Story to Tell. Xew Castle, Feb. 13. Bpeeial. Samuel B. Griffith, or Mercer, receiver of the Sandy Lake Mutual Economical Insurance Associa tion, passed through thls-clty to-day. To a Disfatcu correspondent he said: "I hear that President Tcwell has at last something fto say, but that he denies all knowlodgo of the whereabouts of the books. Tcwell will bo compelled to state under oath what he knows of their disappearance. So far ns I have been able to learn'tho company was managed In anything bnt a business-like way, and it is more than likely that some of the officers will be made defendants in, a criminal prosecution." Jacob L. Tewell. President of the com pany referred to, is a resident of Newcastle, and for theflrst time ho to-day nstreed to an interview regarding the institution's affairs. "I am not ready," said he, "to make a public statement regarding my connection with tho association, but after the other side gets through with its calumny, I and the officers will have something to say. The directors knew thov were being pushed to the wall by State Insurance Commissioner Lecper, and at first concluded that we would step down and out and let him take charKOof affairs: but finally we concluded we owed n duty to old members who had been with us for years, so we agreed to transfer onr business to the National Mutnal, of Washington.

I have not the books, but I believe spme $13 000 in securi ties wero turned over. They were placed in a trunk and shipped to PittsDurg, where they were transferred to the other com pany." The poller holders have about given up all hope of ever receiving a dollar of the hundreds each individual paid in. What has become of tho money is a mystery.
