MADDENED BY DRLNK. A Uniontown Glass-Cutter Pours Car bon Oil Over Bis Wife, THROWS HER IN THE OPEN GRATE And Winds Upbj Slashing His Own Throat With a Barlow Knife. KEWST X0TS FEOM HEABBI TOWKS rSrrCIAL TELEGRAM TO THX DISPATCH.! TJsiontowit, Harch 9. A.t 8:30 this morning J."WHarmony, a well-known glass cutter, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a penknife. He had arisen yery early th's morning, and, going out of doors, procured a quantity of carbon oil in a bucket. He returned with it and poured it over his wife, who yet remained in bed, thoroughly saturating her clothing. He tnen declared his intention of burn ing her alive, and, seizing her by the feet, dratted her to the grate in the bedroom. There her clothing caught fire, and she would, no doubt, have burned to death but for the timely arrival of parties who lived in one end of the same house in which the Harmonys reside. They put out the fire on Jlrs. Harmony's clothing, she being but slightly burned, but terribly frightened. After this demoniacal deed Harmony gathered up his little son Baymond and went over to the home of his father, who lives but a short distance from his house. He told his mother and sister that he wanted them to look atter the child, and, Icmnghim with them, turned and almost immediately drew a Barlow knife from his pocket. He slashed it across his throat, severing the. jugular vein. A few moments later he was dead. Tlie only apparent cause for the mad act is that Harmouy had been drinkin; hard tor several years, which had finally afiected his mind. The trial of John Sappo, the Slav who killed his brother Frank at Grindstone last November, ended here to-day in a verdict of voluntary manslaughter. It could not be learned why he bad killed his brother except because he was drunk and did not know what he ita doing. He was found in the basement of a house in which abont 20 Slavs were holding a drunken carousal in an upper room, with a smoking pistol in his hand and his brother lying dead on the floor with a bullet hole through his heart. Xot a man testified in his behalf. He can not speak a word of English. PETITIONS FOB PAKDOH Forwarded to Harrisbnxx in Behalf of Im prisoned Bearer Editors. Beaver, March 9.

Amateur Athletes Coming to a Satis factory Settlement. FITZ BECOMIS VERY INDIGNANT. Directors of the Local Club Keet and Dis cuss the 25-Cent Matter. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAI A few days ago it was stated in this paper that the prospe'ot of a settlement of the trouble among the Amateur Athletes was exceedingly bright It oan now be stated almost with certainty that peace will soon be established and that all will be well once again. This will likely kill all chance of the organization of a rival association to the A. A. TJ". The Board of Governors of the A. A. TJ. have met and steps were taken whereby the Manhattan Athletio Club will probably have a representation on the board. The step is embodied in a deoision of the board to recommend an amendment to the consti tution making the number of members on the board to which each association is enti tled three instead of two, as at present Although there was no quorum at the meeting, the matter will be submitted to a mail vote, and there is but little doubt that it will eventually become a law. r Amove that will make Seventh Begimenf athletes smile was the recommendation re garding prizes. It is intended to allow not only medals, wreaths and banners, but, in addition, watches, silverware, toilet service and all sorts of jewelry. This news will, doubtless, be hailed with delight by all the local amateur athletes, and they are numerous. The rules and defects above referred to have caused endless trouble and should never have been allowed. The Manhattan Club's complaint has long been recognized as a just one. Mr. Wells, of the East End Gyms, will attend the meeting of the Atlantic division of the A. A. TJ. to be held at Washington on the 6th inst. Probably two or three dele gates from the club will accompany him. FITZ IS INDIGNANT. He Denies He Is a Quitter, and Wants Fal lon to Try Him. New Orixaks, Harch 8. Bpeaal Boh Fitcstmmoni was seen this morning in refer ence to Jnok Fallon's remarks that he (Fitz Simmons) was a quitter and oould not stand punishment, and that he remarked apropos of Manor's blows, "that fellow hits too hard forme." Fitzsimmons was indignant over both charges, and denied themus absolutely false. He had tried to treat Maher and his handlers courteously, and he did not see why he should be thus assailed. No one had ever been able to say that he quit a prize fight, and no one ever would he able to say so, and if Fallon or any o'. his friends thought that way he could easily test the matter in the piize ring. "I will he in New York by next Monday," he said, "when I would like Jack Fallon or anyone else to show that I am a quitter. There is not the slightest truth in the story that I said. 'That fellow (meaning Slaher) hits too hard lor me.' I did not say it, and could not say It, because he did not hit me severely except one chance blow. I did say that Matter was a hard hitter and would prove a troublesome antagonist to a slow man who could not defenu himself effect ively, but his blows wei e not too hard for me, because 1 knew how to avoid them or ward them off." Bob is quite resplendent with diamonds since his victory and sports several kolil noorsin the way of rings and stnds. lie leaves for New York Saturday. THE GYMS' CONTESTS.

Interest In the game did not lag for a moment, and the many pretty plays, especially three quick doubles by Fuller, McPhee and Beckley, caused a good amount of enthusiasm that was well morited. Beckley batted like a man who was used to winning pennants by the use of his big bat, as several terrific drives to the center fence and one long sky scraper over it will testify. E wing had little to do. McAleer played center in his old form, while Joyce's third base playing was grand.

Elvermen Do Not Expect a Very High Stage of Water The Lower Markets Well Stocked Scarcity or Freight Movements of the Boats. The wet weather recently has caused those who are near the danger line of the river to watch tbe marks with increased Interest. ' A tour among the rlvermen yesterday, however, elicited the Informa tion that there was very little danger of a flood. The marks show 12 feet and rising slowly. The In dications are that the water will not go above the 14-foot mark. Captain W. B. Bodgers said: "There has not been enough rain to affect the rivers much. The fact is we have had too much water. The lower coal mar kets are thoroughly stocked and the price is consequently down to the lowest notch." Cap tain James A. Hendenon said there was plenty of water for business, but freight was very light. He did not think there was any danger of a flood.
