KEWSY XOTES FEOM NEARBT TOIYKS lErECIALTSLEOZAHTO TTTE DISPATCH. Marientili,e, Pa., March 11. A man, supposed to be James V. Mills, the mur derer -who escaped from the Butler jail, and for whom a reward of 5750 is offered, was arrested here late this afternoon. As the Kane local train, which runs between Fox burg and Kane, pulled into this place at C:30 o'clock this afternoon Conductor 'Will iam Thurston noticed a very suspicious looking character secreted in a box car which contained a load of stares. The car was picked np at Paint Mills, about 30 miles from here, early this morning, and the man may have ridded the whole dis tance Or he may have gotten in at some way station. The conductor, suspecting the man to be Mills, for whom all the railroad men of the Pittsburg and "Western have been on the lookout, immediately ran and shut the door of the car, locking the suspected man inside. The conductor, Thurston, was for a moment in a quandary, but telegraphed to Superintendent Reynolds, of the Pittsburg and 'Western, for instructions, and in the meantime the car was closely guarded by the railroad men. Superintendent Kevnolds answered that the man should be turned over to the officers, whereupon Constable John Kuhu was summoned. "When he arrived he drew his revolver and opened the door of the car. He had no sooner done this than he was confronted toy the man, -nho held a large revolver pointed at Kuhn's head. "Snap went the trigger of the man's revolver, which failed to go ofi. This accident possibly saved the life of JIaricnville's only officer. The man instantly threw up his hands, aftcrwhich lie was handcuffed and taken to a hotel nearby, as this place does not pos sess a lockup. The man under arrest an swers perfectly the description sent out by the Butler authorities. He was asked his name, which he refused to give, but in a very braegart manner said: "If the blamed gun hadn't missed fire they wouldn't have caught me. I never killed a maa during my whole life." The following telegram was at once sent by the constable to Sheriff Brown at Butler: Hsvc man answering description of James F. Mills under arrest. Shall 1 hold him un til I hear from you? The Sheriff at once answered to hold the man until he arrived, when he could be" fully identified. For some time past the night operators along the railroad have no ticed a man who has been making his way toward Forest county, and who is, without doubt, the man under arrest here. The prisoner will be closely guarded until the Sherifi arrives, which will be late to-morrow afternoon. COKPELLED TO DIG HIS OWN GEAVE.

BALDWIN PITCHES A GREAT GAME. Latest Official Betting Quotations on the Spring Handicaps. GEMIRAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT rfTFCIAt. TELEGRAM TO THE DTSPATC1M ' Cincinnati. March 11. "W. A. Brady, manager and backer of James J. Corbett, was ripping open a telegraph envelope when a correspondent met him this afternoon. A broad smile wrinkled his face as he scanned the inclosed telegram. "Corbett is nearly wild with joy over the prospect of meeting the big fellow," said Mr. Brady. "This makes the fifth telegram I have received from him since I reached Cincinnati this morning. "You never saw a happier man than Cor bett was when he received word that Sulli van would take him on for a match. The critics, who have been spreading it broad cast that there was too much of the milk of human kindness and not enongh of the brute in Corbett's makeup for a'fighter, should have seen the California boy. The demon showed in his eyes then, and they would have been convinced that he is a prizefighter from the soles of his kangaroos to the top of his derby." "Is there any danger of Corbett failing to get the balance of his stake money?" was asked. The Money All Right. "Not the slightest. You do not think I would be fool enough to post part of the money, unless I had the balance in sight," said Mr. Brady. "JSfo, indeed, that would be poor business policy to lose several thousand dollars for a few lines of adver tising. We will be on hand at the World office next Tuesday with the rest of the for feit. And if it is imperative we will be ready to make good the entire stake of f 10, 000 a side." "Who will back Corbett in this fight?" "I will find part of the stake and several wealthy member) of a prominent New York athletic club will put up at least five of the ten thousand. This is assured. Ten thou sand dcllais is a big stake, but I am willing to make a wager that there will be more trouble getting the money in the camp of Sullivan's followers than we will experi ence. All of our stake is in sight at the present moment." "Will Phil Dwyer, the prominent turf man, furnish any part of Corbett's money?" "I don't know. "We would be pleased to have Mr. Dwyer with us. He has always said he would back Jim against any man in the world except Sullivan. I don't know how he feels in regard to this match. Of course he will be asked to go in with us, and the chances are even that he will take pan of the stake." "Is it true that you have engaged Mul doon to train vour'man?" "Xot positfvely; we have not closed a contract with Mr. Muldoon, but in all prob ability he will look after Jim. "We talked the matter over while in New York, and, while no deal was made, it was the under standing that Corbett would do his training wnn juuiaoon. Muldoon Will Train Him. ,rWhen will Corbett begin to train?" "Bight after the close of his engagement with my company. "We will finish out thii week in Philadelphia and then go to Bos ton, Brooklyn and New York for week standi After that Corbett will go to Mul doon's farm at Belfast, N. Y., and stay there during May, June, July and August. I h&ven't the slightest doubt about the out come if Corbett will take care of himself." "Why, has your man been drinking?" "No, it isn't that. Jim never drank any thing worth speaking about, but he likes to go out and have a good time. He doesn't take all the re't he should. I spoke to him about his training and taking care of him self when this match was proposed, and it made me feel good to see the interest he evinced. Take care of myself,' said Jim, excitedly, to me; 'well, you can bet I'll take better care of myself than my trainers will take care of me. A fight with the champion of the world, why it's the chance of my life and I'll not let it goby default If I do not come out of that ring the best man in the world, it will not be because I was not at mv best. I would train myself for such a fight. That is the way Jim feels about it." Mr. Brady went on to say that Sullivan has lost his big hitting powers and that his fight with Kilrain showed it If John L. had still been the wonderful puncher he was, argued Mr. Brady, he would have killed Kilrain, because he hit him often enough.

PoRTLAitn, Me., March. 11. A decision was rendered by United States Commissioner Band yesterday which will be hailed with delight by prize fighters who have hereto fore been puzzled to know where tliey should settle their differences without police interference.

Conse quently, although they half killed the Captain, assaulted the crew and attempted to take possession of the vessel, they cannot be held on any charge, and they are now at liberty to do the same thing over again. 60BBETT AND SULLIVAN.

The Louisville President said he would, and made a proposition of an even swap of the center fielder lor Weyhing and Cros-. Colonel Bogers sadly walked away. His heart was beating regularly an hour afterward. Baseball Notes. The Cleveland team will leave for Hot Springs to-morrow.

WANT OUR COAL, Bat Discrimination and Transfer Charges Shut It Oat of tbe GREAT SHIVERINQ NORTHWEST. Hon" the Inferior Ohio Product Gets to the Market Cheaper. WHI A SHIP CANAL SHOULD BE BDI1T rSFICIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Chicago, March 11. On next Tuesday, 15th instant, a meeting is to be held at Pittsburg of the freight agents of tho various railway lines which carry soft coal from the Pittsburg district to local ports. It is tbe regular annual gathering of these gentlemen and is more or less Informal in its character. Its object usually is to dis cuss matters of common interest'' and ar range rates for the ensuing season. Bnt this year the meeting has a special in terest to Pittsbnrg. The coal operators there for rnany years, ever since the inter State commerce decision went into effect, have been urging, beseeching and praying the railways for lower rates to the Western markets. Petition 'after petition has been laid before the railway managers showing how tbe trade from Pittsburg to the lakes was fait slipping out of their hands and how the 'Hocking Yalley operators were suffocating their brethren of the Pan handle. But all pleadings thus far had been of no avail. The Pennsylvania Com pany officials, it is said, especially set their faces against granting any reduction in rates, and none of any consequence was made. As a result partly of this and partly of other causes Pjttsburg coal has been for the last few years steadily losing its hold on the Western markets. In Chicago it is only a small percentage of the whole amount con sumed. At Cleveland and other lake ports through which tbe .Northwest draws its supply.it is rapidly giving way to coal mined in Ohio. Pittsburg Coal Not in It Now. It is said on 'good authority that where coal used to form a large proportion of all the freight between Pittsburg and lake ports, it now forms only about 7 per cent of the total amount of freight carried. It is said by those who have specially good means of correct information that the Pennsylvania Company has at last come to a realization tha't in keeping rates up to their present figures it has been making a big railway blunder, and it is believed that the meeting next Tuesday may take action which will result in a decided change tor the better. Just now the rate from Pittsburg to Cleveland and other lake ports is 90 cents per ton, and an additional 20 cents per ton is charged to cover the cost of unloading the coal from the cars into the vessels. The railways which carry the Hocking Valley coal to the same points charge $1 per ton, in cluding in that figure the cost of placing it upon lake vessels. The Ohioans have thus the immense advantage of 10 cents per ton over their Pennsylvania competitor. The Pittsburg railways make a large profit at the figures named, inasmuch as they take ore to Pittsburg on their return trip, and are at no expense in hauling empty cars. The Pittsburg operators now want the rate to Cleveland and other lake ports re duced to 60 cents per ton, which, they figure, will make a lair return to the rail-ways-for their work. They ask, also, for a reduction in the cost of transfer from the cars to the vessels from 20 to 15 cents.per ton. The total reduction asked for would thus be 35 cents per ton, and, if it is granted, Pittsburg coal can be placed on board vessels at lake ports at a total cost of 75 cents per ton. It is argued that the inevitable result of such a change will be that .Pittsburg coal will take the place of Ohio coal to a great extent in the lake trade. The Pittsburg railways, it is said, can easily stand tbe cut, because coal being only 7 per cent of their total freight carried, a heavy reduction in that one article cannot seriously hurt them in any event. It is said that the railways leading from the Ohio mines cannot meet it, because coal is nearly 90 per cent of their freight carriage, and a large reduction of rates would mean for some of them a 'sus pension of dividends. A Fight Over Transfer Charge. A hard fight will doubtless be made against that feature of the programme of the Pittsburg coal men which contemplates a lowering of the charge for transferring coal from cars to vessels. Sev eral private interests may be se riously affected by such a change. Each one of the railways over which Pitts bnrg coal is transported to the lakes has given out to third parties the work of translernng tne coal irom tne cars to tne vessels, and the uniform rate for this work has been fixed at 20 cents per ton, which is 7 or 8 cents per ton above the actual cost of doing the work. Thus the Pittsburg, Ft. AVayne and Chicago has granted this privi leges with reference to its docks at Ashta bula harbor, to M. A. Hanna & Co., of Cleveland. The Cleveland and Pittsburg docks at Cleveland are in the hands of Ells worth, Morris & Co., the Ohio and Penn sylvania Coal Company, the New York and Cleveland lias uoat uompany, and w. p. Beno, under the style of the "Cleve land and Pittsburg Coal Transfer Company" employ a superintendent under whose charge all the work is done. Tho Pittsburg and Lake Erie's coal reaches the lakes over the docks oi the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio and the Lake Shore at Ashtabula, which are similarly managed. And the Pittsbnrg and Western and the Baltimore and Ohio use docks at Fairport. It is said that the Fairport docks are now under the control of Harry Oliver, of Pitrl burg, formerly President of the Pittsburg and Western, and if reportistrue that enter prising Gas City iron man is making a very good thing out bf them. The story is that when the Pittsburg and Western was sold to the Baltimore and Ohio Mr. Oliver, by some means or other, had reserved 'to him self the transfer privileges at Fairport, and placed the docks there in charge of Frank L. Bobbins. Perhaps 300,000 tons of coal were transferred there last summer, and n this is true, and the profit of transferring at 20 cents per ton is 8 cents per ton, as esti mated, Mr. Oliver's forethought must have netted him nearly $25,000. Practically a Prohibitory Tax. The Pittsburg coal operators are, so !o speak, "onto" this, and "with both feet." They urge that profit of transfer is practi cally a prohibitory tax on Pittsburg coal. They insist that the transferring ought to be done by the railroad companies, and done at cost, that nobody ought to be allowed to make any money out of it And perhaps they are more than half right. The Ohio coal railways transfer their own coal the. Columbus, Hocking Valley and Toledo, at Toledo; the Toledo and Ohio Central, at Toledo; the Wheeling and Lake Erie, at Huron and Toledo; the Cleveland, Lorraine and Wheeling, at Lorraine, and that is how they are able, handicapped as they are, to give specially low rates to their shippers and keep out tbe coal of the Pitts burg district. Another reason why the Pittsburg opera tors are said to desire to have the transfer privileges at the docks abolished is that the transfer man does not treat everybody alike. For a favorite shipper he can make the transfer readily. t For one whom he does not care for he San interpose innumer able delays and inconveniences by denying him facilities to reach the vessels promptly. Occasionally the transfer man has been known to speculate on the misfortune of the shipper, who found himself unable to ship according to contract, for some reason he didn't know what. The outcome of the quiet little gathering of railway freight men at Pittsburg next week may be big with results .for the Gas Citv, or it may, like many before it, do nothing, and leave Pittsburg coal to con tinue going from- bad to worse, so far as Western and lake trade is concerned. Then the coal men should boom the Lake Erie and Ohio river ship canal project. Weak Stomach and Weaker Nerves. That fluttering I That terrible faint feeling! That load at the stomach!
