Gephardt Fays a Bii; Price for a Herse at the Withers Sale. O'CONNOR ISSUES A BIG CHALLENGE Ed Hanlon, Jake Beckley and Mark Baldwin got lionie trom Hot Springs last evening looking a little weary as a result of their long ride. But they were in tip top condition, and to-day they will likely turn out as bright as new dollars. All three were delighted with their sojourn at the Springs, and during a conversation Hanlon said: "I care not what anybody says, Hot Springs is the place to go and get into condition. There is everything there that a man in training requires, and at this time of year there is plenty of ball playing. The num ber of ball players there makes it enjoyable ior one another, and eterybody works hard eteryday. I had not been there long be fore I hurt my aukle and I was unable to take part in the game. But I am all right now and I am in good trim. AVe have had i good time." I'lejicrt ATltli the Prospects. Mr. Hanlon went on to say that the Cleveland and Chicago teams are tolerably good teams and will both get much better with practice. He was also well pleased with the outlook of the local club, and thinks that we will be winners. Baldwin looked ery well and said that a few davs longer at the Springs would ha e done his win considerable good. Beckley never looked better in his life, and if he plays to day those who see him will indorse the statement. Connie Muck is also on hand and he too looks much better tor his Florida trip. He will meet the officials of the club to-day and talk business. He is quite willing to sign, but be does not want to suffer as big a reduction as the management desire. He wants $J,000, and President Temple is not disposed to go that high. A compromise may be eflected to-day and Mtck will be seen in to-day's game at Exposition Park. Itli.de Tci m Willi Woodcock. Pitcher Woodcock also had a pleasant conlerence with the officials of the club. He pointed out that his only reason ior not wanting to report ior duty until June was that he wanted to attend college until that time. After he had stated his reasons lor his demand President Temple granted him leave of absence until June 29, when the local le.im jil.iv at CIca eland. "Woodcock is certainly a w ell built and intelligent young man. He gives promise of being a good pitcher. There will be live pitchers in the team without him and it they are in any kind of lorm woodcock can easily be spared. To-day's game will commence at 3:13 if it does not rain. Galviu will pitch ior the IteguUrs and Camp will play in the field. The '"old sport" is certainly in line fettle and his arm yesterday Has as powerJul as it ever was. rieaacd the Officials. Yesterday morning President Temple and Vice rrcside.it Kerr Arora on the grounds and saw tho players ct practice. Eiery player showed tip vary Will, ami Corkhifl fM'e a good exhibition of his splendid field ing. He is considerably lighter thau when here last lalk Swartw ood, too, appeared to be m good form. Considerable nttention was piia to the pitchers. Camp displayed remarkable speed. He can use his long arm to great advantago in the way of getting tpeed on the ball, but he did not trv any curves worthy ot notice. Elmer Smith jjlecsed the little band of spectators greatly, ills arm is apparently all right, and "Man ager BuckenbTger was well pleased witli Smith's efforts. Earle, Raymond and Ehret aIs,o did some work. The last named is a little on the big side, but he will be all right before the championship season opens. He is a powerful man. Altogether, the club officials were erywell satisfied with the way in which the players showed up. The manner in which Charley Farrell moved round was another source of satisiaction.

Testimony of Bar Association Investiga tors How He Tiolatetl Professional Ethics What His Offense Consisted Of. Albany, N". Y., March 31. The Joint Judiciary Committee resumed the hearing in the investigation of Judge Maynard, ot the Court of Appeals this afternoon. John Caldwalder, a member of the New York City Bar Association and one of the Com mittee of Nine which signed the report ask ing the Legislature to investigate the charges against Judge Maynard, Avas the first witness. He gave his views as to the details of the Dutchess county election re turns case. "Vhat injury did Judge Maynard do in taking back the returns?" asked'Mr. Kidge Aay. "He sat by and did not protest Avhen the Mylod returns Avere canvassed. Judge May nard's offense consisted in his determination not to allow the returns to reach the State Board of Canvassers. Judge Maynard had found records in a public office and bad no right to inquire how they got there. The fact that he was a Republican did not in fluence my judgment, and there was no political or other feeling against Judge Mavnard in the committee." Mr. Albert Sticknev, another of the Bar Association's Committee of Nine which drew the report against Judge Maynard, Avas next called. At the time of his appointment he had decided that apparently Judge May nard was guilty of grand larceny. Mr. Stickncy said that he did not fully agree that Judge Maynard had violated the United States law and also the State law, as alleged in the association's report. The witness said that if Judge Maynard had, as he said in his letter, made an arrangement not to receive the returns he Avould still be the more guilty, for in this case he would have entered into a conspiracy to defeat the law. Mr. Stickney said the fact that Judge Maynard had been a public officer aggra vated his offense. At the association meet ing, where the report was adopted, there Avere about 500 members present, and per haps ten adverse voters. He violated pro lessional ethics in advising State officers to do anything but their plain'duty. BOBBED A TKAIN IN EIGHT MINUTES.
