AN EXCELLENT CARD.
Classes and Frizes for the Eomewood
Summer Meeting.
NEW PLATERS ARRIVE IN TOWN.
Sullivan's Backers Begin to Look Sound
for a Trainer.
A LOCAL CHALLENGE TO ENGLEDRUM.
" Secretary JtlcCracken, of the Homewood
Driving Park, has arranged the classes and
parses for the spring trotting meeting of
tee association. It is a splendid one. The
variety of classes and the value of the
purses are superior to the classes of purses
of any previous spring meeting.
The meeting will last five days, beginning
on Decoration Dy, and for the opening it
will be observed that the three events are
of the most interesting kind. Another very
interesting feature of the meeting is the
uniformitv of prizes, as the purse for each
event is S300, making slow and fast classes
equal as far as the purse is concerned. This,
as Mr. McCracken points out, is to encour
atrc the entries of local horses. The Secre
tary also thinks that the fast classes will
fill well, notwithstanding it is early in the
rear. He thinks that purses astgregating
$7,000 will attract entries from lots of very
good stables.
The track will be put into good condition
and the clubhouse thoroughly renovated.
Adam Fuchs will have charge of the club
house this vear, which means that every
thing will be kept in the best ot order, as
Adam is a great stickler ior having every
thing done on a respectable plan. Alto
gether the meeting promises to be an ex
ceedingly good one. Following is a list of
the classes and purses for the five days:

Sew Yoke, March 29 Champion John L.
Sullivan will train within 50 or 70 miles of
Sew Yorlc for tho fight with Corbett in Sep
tember. The exact spot has not been de
cided on as yet. Just who will train him Is
a problem which no one seems able to solve
at present. Jimmie" Carroll, Fitzslmmons'
trainer, lias been spoken of as the one who Is
likelv to take John L. in hand. When
asked yesterday wnether he would he will
Ins to tram the bis fellow lie replied that he
had not been asked.
"I do not think that I would care to take
the job," continued Carroll, "as I would be
fearlul that John would not obey lnstruc
t'on. in mv capacity as a trainer I have
never vet had aflahter under my super
vision who would not obey me. To put it a
little plainer, I should require a certain
agreement from Sullivan's backers It I was
nsked to set him in condition which I know
would not be agreed to. That agreement
would be the forfeiture of $10,000 the first
time that Sullivan refused to dti as told."
Jim Wakely, one ot Sullivan's backers, was
not in a lauihin? inood vestcrday afterread
ing that "Billv" Muldoon had told Corbett
that he would like to have trained him were
it not that Sullivan s backers had ap
proached him with an offer to train the
champion. "Wliv," exclaimed Wakely,
"Muldoon does not know what he is talking
about. We have made no offer to him, nor
have we ever asked him whether ho would
be willing to train John L. or not."

rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1
Oil City, Pa., March 29. City Solicitor
Isaac Ash, who is one of the trustees of the
North Warren Insane Asylum, was inter
viewed here last night on his return from
Buffalo, and was asked his opinion on the
recent attacks on the institution. Mr. Ash
said he had read the printed charges, hut as
he was not a trustee previous to 1883 he
could neither affirm nor deny the charges.
"Since I have become a trustee, how
ever," said Mr. Ash, "I have assisted in
the investigation of many charges of cruelty
and neglect. In some cases these charges
have been founded on fact, and the investi
gations resulted in the discharge of the at
tendants. All this was years ago, and
since then new rules, tending to prevent
any cruelty or unnecessary harshness, have
been formulated by the Board of Trustees.
A head attendant was also appointed for
each ward, who was held strictlv resnnnsi-
ble for any bruises or neglected appearance
of patients.
Previous to that time the attendants
would not inform on each other, but rather
shielded each other from any charges of
cruelty or neglect. There are 800 patients
in the asylum, and most of the attendants
receive as low as $16 per month, with
board, and it was hard to get good men to
work for these wages. Since the appoint
ment of the head attendants, however, the
condition ot aflairs has improved, and when
the Board of Trustees met on March 18
they found the condition of the patients
better than ever known.
We have of late vears often investi
gated many charges made against the man
agement of the asylum, and found them to
be merelv the ireaks of a diseased mind;
sudatories as a crazy man might tell who
had injured himself, and then was cunning
enough to try and place the blame on the
managers. So far as my personal and
official investigations have gone during
the years I fiave been trustee, outside
of a few cases well-known years ago, the
condition of the asylum and the manage
ment isall that can be expected in such an
institution where managers and attendants
are coping with the crazed or weak minded.
The complaints make sensational reading,
but investigation always shows the other
side.
"For instance, in the detailed complaints
set forth by W. C. "Pearl in his charges late
ly presented to Governor Pattison, this one
is mentioned: Seventeenth Thomas Kal-
ston, lrom Brockwayville, Jefferson county,
Pa,, was beaten and abused about October
15, 1887, and at other times. Now this
complaint was fully investigated last sum
mer at the special "meeting of the Board of
Trustees, together with three members of
the State Board of Charities. The charges,'
were not sustained in any one instance, and
the management was promptly acquitted."
HABB0WLY ESCAPED A EIOT,
Trouble Between the Holders Creates an
Excitement in Ohio.
Mansfield, O, March 29. Special X
serious riot was averted about 6 o'clock this
afternoon by a few cool heads among the
striking stove moldeis of the Eclipse Stove
Company. At a meeting yesterday after
noon of the union to which the molders be
long it was decided by those present that
they go down to the shop to havo a confer
ence with the four non-union molders work
ing there. Accordingly about 20 or them
started fortlio shop, which is located In the
eastern suburbs of the city. By the time the
crowd reached the shop it bad been aug
mented nntll several hundred were standing
round waiting for the men to come ont.
Whon William Logan, of Cincinnati, came
ont the union men yelled "Scab" at him, sur
rounded him, and asked him to quit work.
He boldly refused to do so, when ciies of
"Throw him into thecrcok," and "Mob him,"
were uttered on all sides by union men, who
were somewhat the worso for liqnor. Cool
Judgment prevailed, however, and Hogan
was marched through the streets, pscorted
bv a large conconrse of excited citizens, to
the Baltimore and Ohio depot, where a
ticket was purchased for hfin to Cincin
nati. He was placed on the 6:40 train and in
structed to stay away from Mansfield.
"Beddy" Anderson, another "scab" molder,
was interrnnted bv the union men and
frichtened awavbv their menacing remarks
and manner, and promised not to work and
to leavo the city. The police were on hand
during the melee, but had any outburst oc
curred they would have been powerless, as
the strikers are determined and reckless.
The situation here is becoming very inter
esting and violence is expected at any time,
as the strikers say that they will not allow
any molders to work in the Eclipso except
themselves.

Two Men Seriously Stabbed for Ill-Trcatlng
an Old Man In Sport.
Philadelphia, March 29. Jacob Heck and
Jacob Eldler are- lying In a precarious con
dition at the Episcopal Hospital, suffering
from stab wounds, inflicted bv Bernard
BischofT. The fight which led to the stab
bing of the men was started over a protest
made by BischofT when Heck nnd Eidler
were teasing George Silick. Silick is an old
man, and shortly before 1 o'clock this morn
ing he was passing the corner of Hope and
Cumberland streets, when Heck and Eidler
accosted him. They soon maddened Silick,
and he became very noisy. His loud talk at
tracted the attention of BischofT, who
reproached the two men for their drunken
ridicule of the old man. His reproof lea to
angry words and flnallv Heck and Eidler
started in to whip the man who had inter
ferfered in their sport.
During the struggle that followed.BischofT
seeing that he was getting the worst of the
encounter pulled his knife from his pocket
and stabbed both of his assailants. The
blade entered Heck's right ribs first, nnd
when he fell ro the gronnd BischofT mado a
thrust at Eidler ana inflicted an nglv wound
in his left shoulder. The knife wlelder at
once fled and the inlurca men succeeded in
attracting the attention of a policeman who
had them r?moved to the Episcopal Hos
pital. Subsequently BischofT was arrested
and was locked up for a hearing. At 8
o'clqckthis morning the phvMcians at the
hospital sent word that Heck and Eidler
were in a dangerous condition nnd BischofT
was at once taken to that institution and
identified by them as the one who had In
flicted their Injuries.

of sleeplessness, from which I have suffered greatly.
It Is a good medicine.

I suffered for two years with rheumatism In my

younger than I did ten years ago; and can walk
Just as spry, with no more stiffness In my Joints
than when I was a girl. That is what Palne's Cel
ery Compound did for me.

About two years ago my bead troubled me so that
it seemed as if I should go crazy. I had a tired.
lagging feeling, my bowels were out of order, my
kidneys troubled me, and I felt badly. Before I
bad taken balf a bottle of Falne's Celery Com

me and 1 would recommend it to all that feci the
way I did. I know It saved mv life and kept me
from imprisonment in an insane asylum, which la
as bad as death. Mrs. J. E. Wilcox,
Rural P. 0., Wis.
Dear Sirs With the help of the Lord, Palne's
Celery Compound did for me Just what It claims to

grew stronger, felt better and worked harder,
through the Compound.
Truthfully yours,

I was treated by a speclallst.who had so mnch con
fidence that he could cure me that It was "no
cure, no pay' the only experience of that kind I
ever had. . After four months he told me he was
beat.

The truth of these assertions is beyond question. They are precisely
the same tone as hundreds of others all showing that for all nervous, debili
