TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Cincinnati, March IS. On the eve of Lis departure for Virginia, Captain Ewing, of the Xew York Baseball Club, was running over some of the notably strong and weak points in the makeup of the 12 clubs. "Frankly," said he, "I believe New York would have Bad a better chance to nail the flag if we had been awarded Dan Richard son, but we are goinij to surprise some of these scoffers. I wish they could have seen the way 'Shorty Fuller played at Hot Springs. T'eople up at the polo grounds will forget that there ever was such a man as Glasscock. "Where do I think the Giants will land? "Well, not below third, to my mind. The Bostons are very 6trong, but if their pitchers fail you can't tell how far they'll drop. I believe Clarkson has seen his best days. Jack Stivetts will strengthen them wonderfully. He is one of the best pitchers in the country to-day." About the Keds. "Cincinnati has in Elton Chamberlain one of the coolest heads in the business. He never succumbs to the rattles and keeps putting them over the plate in just the same manner, no matter whether one or 20 hits has been scored against him. There is one club upon which it will be well to keep your eye," continued Captain Ewing, "and that is Cleveland. That team is a corker and it is not making much of a stir about it either. In Davies thev have secured the niot nf -VWcipm nit-Wi Thpir r,ifiM 5 i -, j .-..A ,--i. r A. " .i iioi-ciubb uuu jiul luuiw ui uie a iue uic fixed behind the bat. Charley Zimmer is as good an every-day catcher as there is anv w here and Jack O'Connor is just a, shade below him. Jesse Burkett has proved to be a great acquisition. I look for Cleveland to be in the thick of the fight and away up in the first division. I can see nothing ahead lor Chicago. Xow that 1'fefler is gone the infield is lamentably weak. Anson Will Miss rfeffer. "No one will miss Pfefler more than 'Old Anse," for everybody knows that he has not been playing first base well for a couple of seasons! His slugging is all that has kept him in the game. The Michigan man, Kalkaska Pipp, is a physical giant, but he is as awkward as a Cherrv Hill belle would be at a ball of the '400.' He does not seem to be able to get down after a grounder, and he uses his hands as if they were a pair of scoops. 'Anse' has landed a a good man in ileeker, that Sioux City pitcher. He is showing up well, and will be able to help Hutchinson out. "When vou come to specify all the clubs it is a bit dangerous, forthere are more than half a dozen favorites to rate In the first division." Captain Ewing went no farther, but added that the race would be one of the prettiest in the history of the game. QUITE A SCHEME. Schaefer and Carton to Establish a Billiard Academy in Paris. Chicago, March 13. Special Jake Schae fer is going to Paris to show the Frenchmen bow billiards should be played. He is going to show them in his own academy, too. The success that Eugene Carter has had in the French capital has tempted Jake to make a bold move and face the French lion in his den, as it were. He and Billy Catton, than whom there is no shrewder man in sporting circles, have figured out a scheme which, for audacity and originality, rivals anvthing attempted in sporting circles of late years. After next Saturday's match with Frank Ives, should Jake win, ho will accept Slos Bon's challenge. With this game out of the wav he and Catton will sail for Paris and open an academy of their own, where they wiUbc leady to meet, all comers in their lcspectlve classes lorany amount of money. Faii" is now the Mecca of billiardists and the Americans expect to mnko some money out ot tlicli scheme. Jake will not neglect his business here, but will probably make periodical trips to the French capital. If the academy is a success Catton will prob ably locate in Paris permanentlv and run the place. He and Jake are a trifle rusty in their French, but w ill probably pick it up rapidlv. It ti ill be curious to note how the French experts will take this move. They are snch. a jealous narrow -minded lot, it is said, that they will probably raise a dreadful cry when they find the Wizard in their midst. Even, however, should they attempt to boycott the loom, Jake feels that there are enough Americans in Paris to make the place a suc cess. THE SHOW ENDED. One of the Most (successful Dog Exhibi tions Ever Held in Pittsburg Closes. The dog show is ended and its termination winds up the best dog show ever held in Western Pennsylvania. The attendance ha9 been larger and the quality of dogs better than ever seen in Pittsburg in the history of local dog shows. It is pleasing to know that some of the most prominent winners were local compet itors. John Moorhead, with his Strcatham Monarch, won no less than live prizes. The dog is bevond doubt one of tho best bull ter i iers in the world and George llaper says so. John Carson also camo in for gjoryniong the bull terriers, and his Billy Bulger, bred by J. C Mahler, of this city, is one of the fine-t young dogs ever shown here. In short, all the local dogs were good. The management deserve all credit pos sible. That veteran of Judges. Mr. David sou, said last night that he had never seen a better managed show. The success of the piesent show, or the show that ended last evening makes it certain that Pittsburg will he a competitor lor tne pest snow in Amer ica shortly. Almost all the Cogs wero taken from the citv last evening. Some were iold here and will remain in the city. STOPPED THE FIGHT. Dally and Deacon Jones Havo a Long Tight nnd Aro Mopped. San Fracisco, March 18. In a finished fight at the Pacific Club between Harry Dally, of Australia, and "Deacon" Jones of San Francisco, colored, bantam, referee Sul livan announced at the end of tho slxty hixth round that the police had declared their intention of stopping the fight if ho (referee) did not stop it, and he accordingly called the tight and wagers off. Dally did the most of the leading during the light, and Jones' face is badly disfigured. For the last 20 rounds little was done, the men making various excuses for not con tinuing. A ten-round contest between George La vlgne. or Michigan, and Charley Bochello, San Franciscocather weights, was decided in favor ot Lavigne. Both men fought them selves to a standstill in the tenth round. DECLAEED OFF. C. W. Williams Declines to Trot Allerton Against Axtell at Present. Gras-d RAriDS, March 18. The great $20,000 stallion race booked.for the August meeting is declared off, word having been received from a W. Williams, owner or Allerton, de clining to enter the race. He says that be is afraid that should ho tiring Allertoji hero and enter him in the race with Axtell against liim the other horses would crowd him in favor or AxtelL He will theiefore not take Allerton away from home until he has met Axtell alone. The horsemen. have therefore given up the Mg $20,000 race and substituted a $10,000 stake for stallions. The preparations for the other eventsare progressing in a most satisfactory manner. STILL BELIEVES IK MAHEB. Billy Madden Thinks the Irish Champion Will lo Better Next Time. Srw York, March 18. The news may as tonish a good many people, hut the fact re mains that Billy Madden sticks to Peter Maher, and will try to get another match for the Irishman. Said Madden to-night: 'I have had to tate an awful scoring on Maher, hut I am not yet satisfied that my critic know as much as I do or as they think they do. I still believe that Peter Maher is a bo.vor capable of besting plenty of chaps who aspire higher than their prayers com prehend. Peter is terribly sore now and I think the experience he had in New Orleans has been a good thing lor him. Anvhow, I am willing, in the face of all hostile criti cism, to do something nioro for him. He has promised to abido by my directions here after, and I am going to take a chance. I think you will hearfiom Maher yet." A majoritv of the sports who backed Maher have been congratulating themselves ever since tho Fitzsimmons mill that the Irishman did not happen to put Fitz ont in that first round when the Sow Zealander was so nearly ruined of his senses, and was onlv saved by the ringing of the gong. "Ir Maher had knocked liira out with that Sunch," they say, "we would all have gone roke on him when ho met the next man, whether that next was Sullivan or anybody else. Forewarned was forearmed this trip, sure." HALL AND FITZSDOI0NS. The Vanquisher or Maher Is Not Keady for His Countryman. XewYohk, March IS. fipecia?. In reply to Warden Lewis' challenge on bebalt of Jim Hall, Bob Fitzsimmons said yesterday that he would only meet Hall at 153 pounds, "which," he added, "Is four pounds above middle-weight, and is all J will give away. I am a middle-weight and do not intend to fight out of my class. Moreover, the stake of $5,000 is not enough. There must be $10,000 a side when I meet Hall. But there is no use in talking about it so long as catch weight is mentioned. Beside, I want to rest a while before flchting asrain." When Fltz's words were repeated to War ren Lewis he remarked that Fitz vias afraid of Hall, and will put forward any excuses that catnc to mind to prevent meeting him. "He is inconsistent, though," continued Lewis, "and his own statements convict him. He wants to fight in his class, yet he gave away ten pounds or mora to" Peter Maher, the heavy-weight Ho w ants a stake of $10,000 a side, and also wants a rest, yet he is quoted as being anxious to make a match at once with Ted Pritchard for a purse. That kind of talk is easily seen thiough, and I think the public will easily see through it." Lewis did not take down his forfeit of 9UWU. Jimmycarroll stated in the Hoffman House on Thrirsdav nicht that he would like to match Fitzsimmons against Charley Mitchell. C0EBETT HAS FRIENDS. Some Cincinnati People llave a Notion to Follow James' Fortunes. Everybody does not forsake Corbett in his proposed battle with Sullivan. Tho Times Star has this to say about it: There is no denying the fact that "Pompa dour Jim" Corbett will have a lot of Cincin nati folk on his staff all pulling for him to win on the fateful day September 7 which will make or break John L. Sullivan. In the places where the lovers of pugilistic sports congregate, talk is already running largely to that event so many months away. The Jackson-Slavin contest at the National Clnb in London, late in May, pales in com parison. "One thing is sure," remarked "Pete" Nolan, of fistic fume, this morning, "Corbett is tho only one who would face Sullivan. The big fellow ought to win if he can get into condition, Dut a plan cannot keep np the gait at which ho is reported as traveling and not suffer. Sporting life will "do" the best of them. You couldn't drag Charley Mitchell Into a ring with Sullivan. Show me a time that he has ever made a fight? He got Sullivan to give him the best ol overvthimr. and then led him a foot race over in France. Corbett is plucky. He will have to fight and he knows it. He could not pursue Mitchell's tactics when ho opposed Sullivan for an instant. The crowd w ouldn't have it." THE ETOAWAY B0XEBS. Mitchell and Slavln Go Home in a Now Direction to England. New York, March IS. Special Charley Mitchell and Paddy Slavin have made up their minds that the atmosphere of the United States is unhealthy at this season, and they will avoid it by goinjr back to Eng land from Canada, bj- tho way of Halifax. They had an engagement in this city for next week, but canceled it. When this news became knowti yesterday it was tho almost universal opinion that Mitchell and Slavin did not have the nerro to face any crowd. Their recent bluff at Sullivan would have been referred to with too much frequencv to have been tolerated even by the experi enced Mitchell, and the pair of travelers made up their minds to go home", especially as the champion is now matched and further flings for advertisement in his di rection would have been out of the ques tion. During the week Mitchell has had something to say about Sullivan at his exhi bitions in Canada, and Paddy Slavin has two or three times tried a hand in the same line. But the chance for that game has now departed, and the couple of talkers deter mined to do likewise. Corbett and Jim Daly will fill out the engagement made by the runaway boxers. TRYING FOB BAY2X0HD. He May Be Signed To-Day Because Denny Cannot Be ITound. The management of the local ball club have not heard from Jerry Denny and they cannot discover where he is. They want a man to take third vase so as to use Farrell as a utility man. Consequently they are now dickering with Raymond. Henry H. Ray mond, Manager Buckenbcrger says, will be used as a general utility man when he is signed, and he is ready to sign. He was Captain of the Louisville team when they won the Association pennant. The directorate know their own bnsiness probably better than outsiders, but if Ray mond turns out as good as Denny might he will be a star. The trouble always is here that first intentions are swerved by ontside talk. A man like Anson alwavs makes up his mind to take a man according to his im pressions. He took Cliff Carroll and got a winner although outsiders discarded him. Who knows what Denny's qualifications would be here this year? By all means give Denny a chance if terms can be made with him. FEIDDY TALES BUSINESS. He Will Run Jordan on Fair Business Terms In This City. Peter Priddy called at this office yesterday and left the following statement: "I am willing to make a match with Mr. Joidan right away, but we must have a fair deal. I will tun Jordan a three-mile race for $250 a side, and 70 per cent of the receipts to the winner and 30 to the loser, each man to pay his own expenses to run in Pittsburg, which is tho best city in the United States lor a foot race. Or I will give him $50 ex penses if wo run lor $250 a side and the win ner take 75 and the loser 25 per cent of the receipts. If cither of 'these terms are suita ble to Jordan, I will send him articles at once. My representative in the meantime Is the sporting editor of The. Dispatch. I in sist on tunning not sooner than eight weeks from now. Any responsible paper in Chi cago will do for me as stakeholder." lawn Tennis Schedules. Xew York, March 18.

Y., where he will be married to a pretty young woman. Tho 23-Cent Seats. Tho numerous objections to the 25-cent seat arrangement, which have appeared in this paper during the last few days have, caused the directors to hesitate before de finitely deciding on tho matter. There are two sides to the question and tho club cer tainly has a right to look at the business end of the matter. A meeting to make a final decision will be held Monday or Tuesday. Johnson and Riffle Matched. MraciE, March 18. James Johnson, the hard-hitting middle-weight (colored), of In diana, and Jack Riffle, of Ohio, signed articles in this city for a finish fight for a $500 purse. The contest will likely take place at Hartford Citv. Johnson is the man who won the 14-round contest with Will iams, the eoloreU pugilist, at Indianapolis a few days since. The Diamond.

HtTNTiKGDON, March 18. John Martin was In town to-day to collect the bounty on wild cats recently killed by him on Stone Moun tain, north of this place. He reports an enormous increase in the number of these animals in that part of the county, and he and his neighbors have turned trappers and are otherwise endeavoring to exterminate them, or at least to diminish their depreda tions on poultry and domestic animals on the farms along the mountain and in the valley.. Many of the farmers there have been unaple to keep fowls during the past winter, and even sheep, pigs and calves have been attacked and destroyed. It has been impossible to put these mid night prowlers out of the way fast enough with traps and by shooting them, and poisoned meat has been scattered on the mountainside and many of them killed in that way. The bounty and the price that can be obtained for the skin amount to abont $i, and this revenue partly reim burses the farmers for the destruction com mitted by the ravenous beasts in their nightly raids. An increase in their number and boldness Is reported from other parts of the county. To-day one was captcred alive by Martin and brought to town. . NON-UNION HOLDEES MOBBED. The EcBpse Stove Company at Mansfield, O., Trying to Restime. Mansfield, O., March 18 Special.

Judge Slmonton left for Florida, to-day, but before going handed down opinions in annmber of State tax cases that have been pending for some time. In the case or the Sew Tork, Lake Erie and Western Railroad Company, an appeal from tax on loans, that it was not liable to tax in respect of $1,050,000 bonds held by a corpora tion which had paid a tax on net earnings; that to tax the income derived from the bonds as net earnings, and then to tax the bonds themselves is to impose double tax ation, which is not permlssable in the ab sence of express authority of law, the court decides, however, that the tax upon not earnings is not a taxupon property, but upon the franchise of the corporation, and that, therefore, the result of taxing tho net earn ings of companies owning the bonds and also the bonus would notbedonble taxation. The court decides, also, that the Common wealth can collect tax under the act of July 1, 1889, only for the portion of the year sub sequent to that date. The Commonwealth contended that it was the duty of the cor poration to deduct a whole year's tax from the first semi-annual interest payment after rue passage oi tne net. In tho case of the Lehigh Coal and Na vi- fation Company, tax on capital stock!or 690. tho court decides that the company iff tnxable on its whole capital stock, and directs judgment for the Commonwealth for $0,525 50. In the case against the Jefferson Railroad Company, lor tax on loans Tor 1889-90, the court decides that the company is not liable for tax in respect of bonds which wero issned and sold outside of Pennsylvania to non-residents of the State, but which were not known when the tax became due or at any other time, to be held or owned by resi dents of Pennsylvania, but that it is liable in respect to bonds which have not been issued or sold or payable ontside of the State. Judgment for the Commonwealth, in each case, $996 30. In the case against the Western. Land and Improvement Company, tax on capital stock for 1891, the court decides that the Common wealth is entitled to tax in respect of amounts reported to the Auditor General, as dividends of profits, but which were really dividends of capital. Judgment for the Commonwealth, $3,883 1L BRADDOCE'S BUDGET- WUmerding's New School to Be Dedicated No Free Delivery. Bicaddock, March 18. Special The dedi cation of tho new school building at Wil merding will take place April S with unusu ally imposing ceremonies. A big parade of Senior and Junior O. U. A. M. and other pa triotic orders of surrounding towns will take place. North Star Council, Jr. O.iU. A. M., will present a fine silk flag. County Su perintendent Hamilton will make an ad dress. Tho building cost over $40,000. The report circulated that Homestead is to get fiee mail delivery soon, that it has been promised by Hon. John Dalzell and Hon. A. E. Craig, proves to be without foun dation. The town lias neither the 10,000 population necessary nor $10,000 yearly postal revenue. Postmaster Sheets, of the Braddock office, said to-day: "I will be In a position in two weeks to demand the sys tem for Braddock." Harry X. Scott, of this place, a yonng law yer recently admitted to practice in the Allegheny county bar, received a letter from a green sroods man, singing himself Charles Bostwick and his address 2163 Eighth ave nue, New York, asking him to take the agency for his "goods." Attorney Scott turned the letter over to Roger O'Mara, who referred the case to Inspector SUvis. Tho latter said nothing could be done, as the operator practiced in another State. A large number of these letters have been received by Braddock people for the past week. GHOULISH THEIFT. The Mercenary Chum of a Dead Man Tries to Take Everything in Sight. Massillon, March 18. Special John Mem was crushed to death by a fall of rock in the Drake Coal Company's mine to-day. Tne dead man boarded with August Braugh man, bis working partner in the mine, and the body was brought to his home in this city. When Coroner Openheimer arrived at the honse he found tho inmates rumnging Mei-a'strupK, having secured a certificate of deposit for $375. Braughmnn claimed that $15 was due him for board, which is known to be false; demanded $10 for keeping the body in the house, and threatened to throw it in the street if tho amount uas not pilld. The corpse was removed to' an undertaking room. The chum of the deceased also coollv in formed the Coroner that he wanted $100 of the money paid over to him to buy a coflin, and $20 to put np a monument to attest his grief. Brnughman got on a big drunk this afternoon and would have been locked up but for the fact that his wife is ill. It is known that Mera possessed considerable more money than the certificate, and the Coroner got out a search wariant to-night. FUN AMID POLITICAL SIBIFE. A Mythical Colonel Has a Big Boom in Blair Connty for Congress. Hollidatsburo, March 18 Special. The hent of the present political strite in Blair county has been greatly relieved by the running of a series of letters in an Altoona paper, espousing the cause of Coionel Eras tus Briggs for Congress. The unknown cor respondent styles himself "The Rambler," and his letters are modeled after the his toric Junius contributions. The special vir tues of the several candidates before the people are embodied in this Mr. Briggs, and interviews with'prominent politicians of the connty, favoring his candidacy, arc printed. Now, the truth of the matter is that "Col onel Brisrgs" is a mythical personage, and the Jok6 has been rather carried too far by the issuing of regular tickets, with his name heading the list, which have been scattered at every polling place. The primaries occnr to-morrow, and while the regular Repub lican tioket, headed by J. D. Hicks, of Al toona, will easily win out, it is also quite as certain that many of the farmers will vote lor that ideal personage, Colonel Briggs. THE FACTIONS W0BKINO. Supporters of Quay and Dalzell Doing Their Best in Armstrong. Kittasuinq, March 18. Special It is .stated by an organ to-day that in all prob ability the Democrats win not place any candidates in nomination this year. Ibis is hardly true, as, the Democrats are wide awake to the serious factional fight in the Republican ranks, and may get their men in. Within tho past week nearly every voter in the county has been receiving marked copies of the Philadelphia Jnorrfrer, containing articles showing the good and strong points in Senator Quay's record and character. These articles are havme great influence, especially in tho country districts where the army vote is strong, and many votes wmen nave oeen nuctuaiing Detween Quay and Dalzell are being made over to Quay. Meanwhile the friends of Dalzell are making a merry fight, and have succeeded in w inning over two or. three more country papers to their side of the fence. A Republican Call. Youhgstown, O., March 18. Special Judge King, Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, to-night sent the following notice to each member of the com mittee: "You are hereby notified that there will be a meeting or the Republican State Central Committee at the rooms of the Lincoln League, Columbus, March 25, at 7:30 p. X., to fir the time and place lor the next Repub lican State Convention, and to transact such other business as mav come before the com mittee. Prominent Republicans interested in the success of Republican candidates and principles are cordially invited to meet with the committee." Judge King favors Harrison, and thinks the convention should be held the latter part of April. Trl-Stato Brevities. Riogs & Hcbble's safe at McKeesport was robbel of$130 Thursday night.

Applicants Are Disconcerted Over Christy's Sudden Move. HIS REMONSTRANCES ACCEPTED. It Hakes a Big Bnsiness for the Other Li cense Attorneys. THE NAMES FOUND OX THE PATAfi IIST B. C. Christy's unexpected appearance in License Court caused a scramble among the vanous applicants and their attorneys. They all seemed scared, and attorneys and applicants crowded the Clerk of Courts' office and Attornev Christy's office all day waiting for a chance to see if people they were interested in appeared on the fa tal list. A"s predicted the night before, Mr. Christy made application to court yesterday and all his remonstrances were admitted, but no more were filed. He had a corps of clerks at work most of the day yesterday entering the remonstrances on the records and classifying them. Owing to the im mense amount of work necessary the public was shut ont until the task was completed. This increased the anxiety. ' The Christy remonstrances, however, are nearly all against new applicants and peo ple who have been refused before. Nearly all of the remonstrances are based on infor mation received from the famous "Dooms day Book." The fact that an applicant has been refused license is taken as evidence that the place is not 'needed, and remon strance is therefore made. The fact of a man having held license is also regarded as proof of necessity, and the Court has indi cated that nearly all the people who now have license will be continued in business.

It is surpriseing to see that the craze that set in a few years ago for wooden pave ments in Paris and London has not been suppressed, but is vastly extended. In the wooden pavements of London the first thing is to secure a solid and durable basis. This is done by digging deep and putting down, first, a layer of fine broken stone and then a thick one of concrete, which is like a level and almost invulnerable rock. Upon this the wooden blocks, with inter stices for tar and gravel, are placed, and serve as a covering to deaden the sound of hurrying hoofs and wheels. "When the wood wears it is easily removed and new blocks are placed in the vacancy. Xhe in superable objection must be found in their bad smelling unwholesomeness.
