fFrrCIAL TELEG11AM TO THE DISrATCIM
Hcxtixudox, I'x., Feb. 19. It hasjust
been disclosed here that an attempt was
Ma5ecn the night of the 9th hist., to burn
the Orphans' Home ai Eighteenth, and
Oneida bireets, this city, with its helpless
keeping inmates.
The managers, of the institution kept tall
knowledge of the diabolical deed lrom the
public, with the hope that by silence and
vicilanee they might detect its author, but
this hope not having bec:i realized, they to
day oflered a reward of flOO for
the arrest and conviction of the guilty
person. The woodwork of - the
plavroom of the Home was saturated
with coal oil by the incenuiarv and tne
match applied. The highly inflammable
material took fire, and much dauage was
done to the room, but for some unknown
cause the fire was smothered or exhausted
before it reached any othir part of the
"bmWlnz.
Had it gained full headway it would have
leen impossible to save the children, with
whom the institution is fllled, aud who oc
cupied the second and third stories. The
"tmildings are principally of wood and
Jiighly combustible. The Home is sup
ported wholly by charity, and the motive
for desiring to destrovit cannot be imagined.

DEMATER'SDEFENSE
Is That Bis Bank Was Solvent When
the Big Judgments
FORGED IT TO SUSPEND BUSINESS.
He Believes the Asset's Will Realize Enough-
to Pay Everybody.
SOT SHAKEN' BY CROSS-EXAMINATION
Meadville, Pa.. Feb. 19. The Court
having yesterday ruled that G. B. Delania
ter and T. A. Delamater were to be no
ion!;erconsidered as defendants in the case
J ",. . . . . . .. ,. rri
now being tried against the firm of Delama
ter vt Co., by reason of "a lack of evidence
against them,, the single defendant, George
"Wallace Delamater, vas on hand with his
counsel promptly at 9 o'clock this morning,
the hour fixed for the beginning of the pre
sentation of testimony for the defense. By
reason of- the sickness of Juror Jameson,
Judge Henderson asked counsel to be extra
carclul in the trial of the cause.
George A. Jenks opened for the defense
by an address to the jury, during which he
claimed the ability of the defense to show
that the Delamater firm was not insolvent,
and that the remaining defendant, George
"Wallace Delamater, should be set free, be
cause of the inability on the part of the
prosecution to prove that the defendant or
the firm ot which He was a member was in
solvent at the time of the failure, and also
that the prosecution had failed to prove
that G. "W. LVlamater had auj' knowledge
of the insolvency of the bank, and that the
prosecution having failed to prove that the
defendant lad guilty knowledge of the
taking of" money after the bank had failed,
it had failed to "establish a case against the
defendant.
Ilonrsty ot the Selamaters Dwelt On.
During his statement to the jury Mr.
Jenks referred to the establishment of the
bank and the placing therein of the entire
property and credit pf G. B. and T. A. and
G. AV. Delamater, tlieir method of manage
ment and the promptness with which all
connected with the failure turned over their
entire property for the benefit of creditors.
He dwelt at length upon the return of G.
W. Delamater alter the deed of assignment
had been made, and how the latter, having
been informed that his wife had been pro
jected over other creditors, insisted that
what had been set aside for her should be
placed among the assets for the benefit of
all creditors. Continuing, among other
things Mr Jenks said: "Many people in
tins community no doubt believe that (jr.
"W. Delamater ha; made some mistakes dur
ing his life, but I am confident that no man
ever suspected him of having been dis
honest." Mr. Jenks warned the jury against al
low ing the prosecution to lead their minds
away lrom the subject matter of the indict
ment, declaring that Mr. Roddy, the prose
cutor, had got things worked into his mind
until he believes tnein, ana that he was
likely to present them to the court and jury
unless objection was entered in time to pre
vent him.
The Defendant Poorer Than Others.
. Mr. Jenks presented a list of assets
which he claimed represented 1,243,930,
and which he said he expected to prove
would have brought that amount had the
failure not been precipitated. He declared
that, while it is true that many people have
been made poor by the failure, behind them
stands G. Yv. Delamater poorer than them
"all and responsible for their debts. He also
outlined the conduct of the members of the
firm during the years of their business con
nection, stating that no dividends had been
declared at any time, and that with a
knowledge of the large number of proper
ties owned by them and their almost un
limited credit, it would seem an impossibil
ity for the firm, without a detailed examina
tion of their assets and liabilities, which
was never done, to believe itself insolvent.
Mr. Jenks referred to the election of G.
AV. Delamater to the Senate of the State,
his absence from business, and the giving
up of almost all of his time to political am
bition, which, while he declared it to be a
mistake on the part of G. AV". Delamater,
served to show his lack of knowledge of the
real condition of 'the affairs ofthe bank. In
support of his declaration that the members
of the firm believed themselves solvent, Mr.
Jenks said that he expected to prove to the
sntisfction of the jury that prior to mid
night of December 4, when judgments
against the bank were entered up by James
E. McFarland, which forced the making of
the deed of assignment, there had not been
at any time any discussion regarding the
subject of assignment by the defendant or
any of the members of the firm.
Bi-lit-ve Thiy Can Pay Dollar for Dollar.
George AA'allace Delamater was then
called by the defeuse. His testimony was
given in a plain, straightforward matter of
iacj way. He explained to the Court aud
jury upon what he based his estimates of
the values of the several blocks of stock
held by the firm. In short his answers to
the questions of counsel were given with
explanations to show that, had the firm not
been forced to assign, in the ordinary course
of business affairs it would npt have failed.
During his testimony Mr. Delamater
declared his belief that the assignees would,
after the stock has all been sold, be able
to pay every dollar of the indebtedness due
depositors.
The entire afternoon session was taken up
by the prosecution in an examination of
George AVallace Delamater, who in response
to questions by the prosecution swore that
he lnlly believed the firm ot which he was a
member was solvent until he learned that
judgments had been entered against it by
James E. McFarland, which action weak
ened their credit to an extent which in his
judgment made the assignment a business
necessity.
Swears the Tirm Was Solvent.
During the examination he explained the
securities owned by the firm had been
pledged to various financial institutions in
Philadelphia, Xew York and elsewhere as
secuiities for loans made lor the firm of
Delamater & Co. and individual loans made
by G. AV. Delamater. He also explained
in detail his opinion ot the valuation of the
real estate held by the firm and individual
members thereof in Meadyille and other
sections of the StaSe, also in Ohio, and re
iterated his declaration that the firm was
solvent at the time ofthe failure.
The cross-examination of Mr. Delamater,
while severe and searching, tailed to shake
his direct examination in the least, and pro
duced a favorable impression in the court.
The trial is rapidly approaching conclusion
aud is likely to goto the jury late to-morrow
or Monday.

;THE MANNING-PULLER MATCH.
it
Was Made With the Consent of Miss
Puller's Parent While the Xady Was
111 the Ceremony Took Place, and She Is
Now Recovering;.
"Washington, -D. C., Feb. 19. A dis
patch was sent out from AVashington the
other day in regard 'to the recent marriage
of Miss Mary Fuller, daughter 'of Chief
Justice Fuller, and Colin C. Manning, son
of ex-Governor Manning, of South Caro
lina, which recently took place in Italy.
The story, in effect, was that Manning had
followed the vouug lady to Europe and had
persuaded her to marry him, in spite of the
strong oppositiou of her parents. The mem
bers of the family of the Chief Justice
say the story has but one element of truth
and that is the fact of the marriage. All
the picturesque details ot the opposition of
the Chief Justice to this marriage are pure
inventions and cruel to the last degree to
Mrs. Fuller, who has just returned from
Europe, after spending many weary weeks
at the bedside ot her daughter.
Mrs. Fuller savs that her daughter went
to Berlin while in poor health to finish 'her
musical education, but that soon after
reaching there she grew much worse, and
Mrs. Fuller was summoned to her bedside.
She now says that if it had trot been for Mr.
Manning she would scarcely have been able
to hold up during the long journey before
she reached her daughter's bedside in Ber
lin. For days and days they watched the
invalid, and just as soon as it was
possible for her to be removed they took her
down to San Bemo.
Her condition became again so critical
that her life was despaired of, and Mrs.
Fuller felt that the devotion of Mr.
Manning should receive its reward. The
bans were put up, all the necessary condi
tions complied with, and the marriage took
place at a moment when it seemed as if the
bride would scarcely live another hour.
But from that on a decided improvement
was noticed in the invalid, and the fort
night longer that Mrs. Fuller stayed with
the happiest bride and groom in all the
world she could see her daughter's strength
slowly but surely coming -back.
FAILUEE TO PBOVIDE EIRE ESCAPES
Proved .Against the Hotel ltoyal Proprietor
Darinjr the Inquest.
Newt York, Feb. 19. Special Hy
man Israel, the owner of the burned
building, was recalled when the Hotel Itoyal
inquest was continued to-day, and made to
remember a little thing he had forgotten
the day before. A petition in the form of
an affidavit, signed with the scrawl which
does service as his signature, was produced,
in which the petitioner asked to have re
opened a judgment for S39 30 which had
been obtained against him by tli- Building
Bureau for failing to comply with its order
to provide the Hotel Boyal with fire es
capes. Mr. Israel had to acknowledge that
the signature was his. As a matter of fact
he had not complied with the order, having
put up fire escapes on the Fortieth street
side ofthe hotel only, whereas the order
directed their erection on the Sixth avenue
side also. His petition was reopened on
payment of ?5, however, and subsequently
the judgment was quashed, a false report
that fire escapes had been put on the Sixth
avenue side being received by the Building
Bureau.
Assistant District Attorney Townsend
also put on record the order ofthe Building
Bureau directing the erection of fire es
capes, the failure to comply with which
resulted in the judgment, and also an affi
davit made by Patrick H. Devinney, De
cember 10, 1888, that he had served this
order on Mr. Israel. The witness denied
this, and said he did not remember haying
learned of the judgment before he went to
the Central Iron AVorks to order the fire
escapes for the Fortieth street syie of the
hotel. He also denied remembering paying
the ?5 to reopen the judgment, but his ac
knowledgment of his signature to the peti
tion to reopen it made up for the other in
stances when his memory proved at fault.
A BEAD MAN'S HAHE 8HISCHED.
Efforts to He JUade to Clear the Record of
One Who Deserted From a Sick Bed.
Zaxesville, Feb. 19. Special Gen
eral B. B. Brown and others, ot this city,
have been endeavoring for several years to
have the charge of desertion against
Nicholas Swingle, late private, in Company
E, Seventy-eighth Ohio Volunteers, re
moved from the war records, and Repre
sentative J. C. Owens has introduced a bill
in Congress to that effect.
Swingle enlisted in 1862 and served faith
fully until 1864, when he fell on the march
to Atlanta and was sent to a field hospital
near Ivenasaw Mountain. A few days later,
in a delirium of fever, he "deserted" 'the
hospital and hastened to join his regiment.
He fell into the hands of the enemy and was
taken to Andersonville. He grew worse
mentally, aud when paroled to Annapolis
was little better than an imbecile. His
only desire was to reach his wife and family
I in Ohio, where he turned up one day, foot
sore and weary, having walked the entire
distance. He died soon after. The charge
of desertion had been placed opposite his
name, but he never lived to know it. His
wile worked hard and safely reared her
laree family. Every effort is now being
made to remove the undeserved stain from
her husband's name, and turn over to her a
pension earned years ago.

LOTS-. OF 4MATEMS.
That Class of Local Ball Players
More Numerous Than Ever.
A .SCHOOL LEAGUE IS SUGGESTED.
Exciting Shooting Hatch Between Messrs.
Denny and Cook.
EEYISI0N OP FIGHTING WEIGHTS
Amateur baseball playing, thatis bona
fide amateurism, is likely to be more popu
lar in and about Pittsburg this year than w
has ever been before, and Thk Dispatch
will give it every encouragement possible
during the entire season. Already clubs
have begun to organize and it is safe to ,say
that before many weeks are over there will
be dozens before the public Last year
there were numerous players ransring in
years from 10 up to maturity and -this
year there will be more than ever of them
at all ages. They deserve encouragement.
The City League which will be made up
of players of a younger generation than the
County League is a step in the right direc
tion and last evening President Miller said
that everything was going along all right.
Getting suitable grounds he. said, will be
somewhat of a difficulty and it is to be
hoped that the League will be
assisted by outsiders in getting over
this difficulty. There is talk of-
another league of- a still younger generation
of players being formed, and to be called
the "School League." An ardent supporter
ot such an organization called at this office
last evening "and left the following state
ment: 'Xow that a City League has been organ
ized, I suggest that we get the very young
Americans together and form a School
League; that is, have teams made up from
the punils of the different wards, and let
them play a series of games on Saturdays
and holidays. This will give them physical
recreation and keep them playing in some
thing like a systematic way. Of course,
there couldn't be a team for every school,
but we could arrange the schools into dis
tricts. I would like to hear what 'the
patrons of ball playing among the young
sters tlnnK ot tlie scheme."
AVhatever may be the merits or demerits
ofthe above it shows that there is going to
be a very populat interest in the national
game here this year, and particularly
among the amateurs. President Barbour,
of the County League, said yesterday: "I
am confident that amateur baseball in Alle
gheny county will be more popular this
year than it has ever been. There is more
mtqrest in our own League now than I nave
known since it started and we are getting a
better class of players than we ever had. I
will be greatly disappointed if every club in
our organization is not a. financial success.
You must not forget that there are thou
sands of people in Allegheny county inter
ested in amateur baseball."
AS EXCITING CONTEST.
J. O'H. Denny Defeats Mr. Cook in a Very
Close Shooting Match.
The members of the Pittsburg Gun Club
1 mean to make matters lively this year as far
as shoSting is concerned. As a sample ofthe
kindof sport tne3' are going tp have two of
tho members shot off one of the most excit
ing matches yesterday at Exposition Park
ever seen in Pittsburg.
The contestants were Tom Cook and J.
O'H. Denny, who shot at 50 live birds each
for $50 a side and the price or the birds.
Allien its said that Mr. Denny won by one
bird and that Mr. Cook missed his last bird
nn idea of tho exciting nature of the contest
can be formed. But those gen club members
always mako srreat snort.
The weather was bad and the biids wero
good. The Jive targets weie supplied by
Slesrs. Shaner and Crow and reflected
credit on those gentlemen. E. E. Shaner
wasrefeiee. and despite the bad weather
and good birds (the latter were almost all
cnocoiate colored), the gun had much the
best of it. Mr. Cook started out well and
downed 19 out of his lirst CO. Atthe2it
litrd tho match was tied and 3Iv. Cook
missed his :Mtli, Mr. Denny taking the lead,
and he held it to the end.
During the afternoon Jlr. F. U. Denny
killed 33 out of Sobirds, u very good perform
ance. Following is the scoro of tho match:

OH EVEN TEEMS AGAIIL
Steinitz and Tkchi;orin Have Each "Won
Eight Game in Havana.
, Havana, Feb. 10. Special. Although
Steinitz's soorein the chess match would
iavo disheartened any chess player, the
veteran showed no sign or trouble when he
sat down yesterday to play tlio twentieth
game in the hardest match he has ever
fought. It wap generally surmised that he
would again select a clo-e opening, and w hen
ho came forward with 1 kt-kb 3 hi opponent
was evidently prepared for it. Thigorin
creatly improved upon his line of develop
ment adopted in tlio eighteenth game, and
consequently obtained a good position. In
tho middlo game, however. Steinitz dN-.
played superior stratejry. Tschigorin was
suddenly conlronted witli an attack asrainst
his king's quarters, which to meet he bad to
call auxiliaries from the queen's side. In
order to shut out the adverse bishop which
thieatenedto t.ifeo possession of a command
ing diagonal, black had to advance a pawn.
which weakened the disposition of the
queen's wirnr.
This was all Steinitz cared for. He ato'hco
abandoned his attack airainst the ho-ti!e
kinc and shifted instead his nieces to the
other side whore lie had forced hisonponent
to crust to a hole. The Kuasian played an up
hill derense, but bteinitz did not relax. At
last tho latter reaped the fruits of his skill.
One black pawn fell, then another: the out
come was no more dubious.. On the fom--
nrst move Tsclilgorin resigned. The players

THE AVEST END ATHLETES.
They Will Hold a Grand In-Door Athletic
Entertainment Shortly.
The members of the West End Gymna
sium have resolved to do some very tall
hustling this year. For some time past
o ihs to untoward circumstances athletics
have been in a s'tate of torpor vn the West
End, but an effort is to be made to revive
matters as soon as possible.
It has been lesolved to hold- an in-door
athletic entertainment fn the interest of tho
gymnasium on the evening of April 23. All
kinds of athletic exhibitions will bo Riven,
and a number of the East End Gyms will
take part in the proceedings. Prof. Kirch
nor, with his "accustomed generosity, has
consented to inannso the entertainment,
which means it will ben irood one. 'Squire
Madden, John McConville and W. P. John
son ate working like beavers to make the
affair a success.
There are about 103 members in the gym
nasium and thoy expect to get into a condi
tion this year to join the A. A. U. They de
serve encouragement.
Pittsburg, Dogs Again Winners.
Jacksoj. Mich., Feb. 19. Special. The
bench show of doys is now in progress in
this city and many of the best doss in
America are on exhibition. Pittsburg dogs
retrieved their losses at Chicago last weelr.

Washington, of Pittsburg; ho w on tho first
prize in the challenge clnss for both dojrs and
bitches. Joe Lewis'. Italian gray hounds
ajrain won first prizes iu both classes and
were much admired. The 3It. AVashington
kennels won first prize in the open clas
with their recently imported for terrier
Routon Safety. Champion Paul Gladstone
won first prize in the challenge clas, Toney
Gladstone won first in the open class and
Xia won first in the corresponding class for
bitches; Maud X. won third nrize in the
same class. As the above comprise all of
the dogs that were enteied by Pittsburg ex
hibitors it will be seen that thoy made a
pretty clean record at this show.
Louisville Holds on to Brown.
Louisville, Kt., Feb. 19. Special The
directors of tho Louisville club met to-night
and decided that under no circumstances
would they consent to the release of Tom
Brown. They fnrther decided to submit a
jiropo-dtion to Chicago for the exchange of

Some Cincinnati cranks want Parisian Bob Ca-rutht-rs
lassoed for the Beds' collection of twirlers.
THE Indications are that there will he lots of
shootiug couteats in and about Pittsburg this year.
IT foolish to blame fakirs for getting all the
money they can. Those who pay the money are to
mame.
The fact that Slavin and Mitchell are "work
ing" the country does not make Corbett's fakes
any better.
JIM Hall states thatas he cannot get on a match
with Corbett he will fight anv man In the world.
Slavin preferred. Hall is evidently going to join a
show.
ColoxelBill HtnniN-G thinks that Fitzsim

Jewels on.
ClIAKLEY Joxes, tho old ball player and ex
Plavers' League umpire, nas received an offer
rrom secretary YV imams to umpire In the Western
League. He may accept it.
Fitzsimmoxs savs that Sullivan's declaration
that Maher would whip Bob In less than 15 rounds
was due to feeling on Sullivan's part because Fltz
simmons whipped Dempsey.
Laxnov sajs: "Itwa3 understood my boxing
with Corbett was to be a friendly set-to. Had I
been iu training the result mlgnt have been differ
ent. I now want to light Corbett to a finish."
