GENERAL SPORTING IfEWS OF THE DAI For some reason or other the "man what makes the weather" has got a grudge against the custodians and patrons of local live bird shoots. Abominable atmospheric conditions have prevailed at the three last contests given by the Pittsburg Gun Club in Exposi tion Park; but to the promoters, Messrs. Shaner & Crow, may it be credited that, no matter how strong the elements arc ncainst them, nothing prevents the going on with the sport Yesterday was a day for sleeping, not shooting. The big black clouds had the best of the sun all Say, and during every dreary hour it looked like 5 o'clock on a February even ing. Kotwithstanding these adverse cir ruinstances, and the appearance of Humane Agent O'Brien, with his note book and whiskers, in the interest of humanity, 1,020 live birds 'were shot at with more or less fatal results. Even if the birds had not been good strong ones, the shooters were in a measure handicapped by the murky, sloppy weather, which would stiffen up a sprinter in fine fettle. Couldn't Kill 3Ianv. From those crack shots of whom walkovers were expected, miserable results followed, nnd they tell down as low as the six hole in a ten-bird shoot. Joe Glesenkamp, whose prowess with a gun is well known, was a notable disappointment to his friends, who were willing and are yet to back him aga'nst almost anyone. His score shows for itself. Mr. Glesenkamp attributes his slowness aud inaccuracy to shaking carpets at his home. .Toe has been recently mar ried. T. Denny, the Messrs. King, Mr. "WiUon, of the Miller & Sibley stock farm at Franklin, did some clean shooting, using few second barrels to kill their birds. A younir centlcman from Braddock named itoss did the best all-round work consider ing the swill and outflying birds he had to chae with his ammunition. Another creditable shot was Johnston, of Canonsbur. Mho handled a gun with grace End alacrity He is sure at nractice no doubt, but just a trifle nervous in company. There were contestants from Greensbunr, Vniontown. Braddock, "Wash ington, Ligonier, Latrobe and other out of town points. Two noted wing shots of Uniontown took part, in the persons of Jess-c Allen and George Titlow. Both are good ones. Mr. Allen is an old timer, but not br any means a "has been." He is as quick and accurate as when he shot against ISoiaidus, Carver, and the celebrated wing nau trap experts u Years ago throughout the Vest. S.-.mmy Made Them Nervous. The presence of Humane Agent Samuel Q'Brien taking notes of the shoot caused 'softs litie.nervousne's among -tipss inter- isted in the sriOrt. He was approached bv Tun DisrATCU representative and asKed if his mission was to prosecute the promoters of the affair. He did not answer directly, but said he would report his observations to the society, and recommend that the club provide a man to kill the wounded birds which fly out of bound. He said he saw a number of that kind on nearby buildings suflering and unabh to move. He thought this was cruel. Agent O'Brien is probably awaro of Supreme Justice Paxton's decision on the shooting of live birds from a trap. As Hit Honor hauded it down it explicitly states that there is no more cruelty connected with trap bird shooting than there is in killing or wound ing game in the field, which is governed by a State law. Taking everything into consideration, yesterday's sho'ot was a great success, and all credit is due to Messrs. Shaner and Crow ior the da 's sport. Another contest will lake place at Uniontown in the course of a week or so, with 500 to 1,000 birdi as live targets.

KOBE DEUNKEN SPORTS. Parson Davies Nearly Kills Ed Conner 'With a Champagne Bottle. New Tore, April It "Parson" Davies, the sportins authority, had a little unpleasant-' ness in the cafe of the Metropolitan Hotel early Wednesday morning with a consump tive ex-pugilist whoso name is "Eddie" Conners. The trouble was the closing inci dent of a celebration by eight sporting "gents," in which 42 quarts of champagne were disposed of. The celebration was In honor of the match arranged for between "Jim" Hall and "Bob" Fitzsimmons, the Australian puslllsts. liall and "Joe" Choynski, of California, Are in town and are starring every night at Nlblo's Garden, in conjunction with the Henry Burlesque Com pany. Ther live at the Metropolitan Hotel, to be near their business, and naturally drift vcrv often into the cafe. When they finished their neat little "You touch me nnd I'll plus you" sparring ar rangement on Tuesday night they were met bya party of kindred spirits and proceeded to make a night of it. Tlio kindred spirits were "Parson" Davies. Peter Maher, "steve" Brodie'Billy" Madden, Jere Dunn and "Ed die" Conners. By 3 o'clock they bad pretty nearly exhausted the (ramnt of conversa tional topics and the wine chest, and were preparing to call cabs, when Conners. who is notorious as a "jollier," camrht sight of a lltfle reliaious medal on Matter's rest lapel. lie made some airy remark about it, which Maher replied to with sulphurous vehe mence. Conners retaliated by tolling Maher that he was a "bleeding coward" for giving up in his recent fight with Fitzsimmons, whereupon Maher, who was far gone in liquor, rose and essayed to "deal him one." Since Conners contracted his lung trouble, ho has always carried a dirk knife, and this he whirroed out with celerittf and iunrned for Maher. Jim Hall threw Maher ont of harm's way and "Parson" Davies arrested Conner's uplifted arm. "Blank, blank von," said Conners to Davies, "I'll kill vou for that." "Oh! will you?" asked the "Parson." with an extra wide smile; "we'll see abont that," and as he said "that" he brought a champagne bottle down full force on Con ners' head. It floored the consumptive, but he Jumped up and mado for Davies again, only to get another blow, which broke the bottle and rendered Conners insensible. Then the party broke up with wonderful rapidity. Jim Hall was the only one who stayed to play the part or the good Samari tan. He had been "done up" by the Parson himself only a few months ago, and he re membered how it felt. NEW CASTLE ATHLETES. A Big Movement to Hare an Extensive Ath letic Clnb Organized. New Castle, Pa., April 14. Special. New Castle's sporting element has received quite a boom within the past few days by the organization of a big athletic club to be called the Ncshannack Athletic Association.

For the first time since 1SSC the Pittsburg team will muke their re-entree upon the Sportsman's Patk diamond in a championship contest, playing the St. Louis Browns to-morrow afternoon.

The Olympic Club has started a project of dimensions more stantic than any ever attempted by a pugil istic clnb. It has already offered $23,000 for Sullivan and Corbett on September 7. It now proposes to give $10,000 for Fitzsimmons and Hall and $10,000 for Meyer and McAuliffe, the three fights to take place in one week. The week's attractions aro expected to over come any charms that races, business or other engagements may have for sporting pcoplo and bring at least 5,000 strangers to the city. The plan was suggested by some of tho leading railroads throughout the country, who propose to attach fight tickets to ex cursion tickets, so that a purchaser will be sure of a seat before he reaches New Orleans.

Captain Anson announces the entree ot his colts In each city he goes on a three-sheet poster as follows: "I will be here and the colts will be with me." Chicago will get the credit for the heaviest hit ting In the first games. The club's 14 hits counted for 18 bases. Including 2 home runs, 2 triples and 4 doubles.

R0DGH ON HETHERINGT0N. A Man From Yokohama Says He Is a Cow ard The Killing ot Robinson Was Dis reputable A Statement That Throws Mew light on the Affair. Chicago, April 14. Millard K. Jones, a New York lawyer and banker well-known in Chicago society, arrived to-day at the Grand Pacific on his return from a tour of nearly a year in China and Japan. ' He was at the same hotel with Lieutenant and Mrs. Hetherington at the time the Lieutenant killed young: Bobinson, and arrived in Yokohama with Bobinson, with whom he was well acquainted, just two days before the tragedy. Mr. Jones has an entirely different opinion of the affair from that generally held in the United States as the result of reports circulated here. "It was a cowardly, disreputable killing," he said last evening. "I am a loyal Ameri can and I delend my countrymen when there is the slightest excuse Tor doing so. Here, however, is a man who deliberately goes up to another and without giving him a single chance at self-defense kills him. Suppose Bobinson was guilty, could not the injured husband have challeged him, or at least given him warning that he intended to take his life? The facts in the case, and they are not generally known, make his conduct all the more despicable. 'When Mrs. Hetherington joined her husband at Yokohama after a long absence the first thing he did was to go to a new clerk at the Grand Hotel and ask him to keep a cloe watch on his wife's every movement, as he wished to find some ground on which to base a divorce suit. Nice sort af a man that, to go around the streets with a gun seeking revenge for his wounded honor. "Bobinson was one of the most perfect gentlemen I have ever known. He spoke nearly every languge, and lor years held a position of vast responsibility in the most powerful banking house in Japan. I know that he was not the sort of man to enter an other household unless urged to do so by the woman in the case, and it is certain that this rule was not broken in this last affair, if there was one. Had be been shot under the same conditions in Hong Kong his as sassin would have suffered the extreme pen-. 4ilty of the law. As it is, he is acquitted and the entire foreign population ot Yoko hama is split over it. "The Americans say that Bobinson ought to have been riddled with bullets. They hate the dead man, as near as I can find out, merely because he wore a low collar, looked comfortable and was the best enter tainer in the city. His last words were suggestive. 'I am sorry for Hetherington,' he said. 1 hope they will not punish him for this.'" TOO BAD FOB THE BEF0EMAT0EY. Why a New York Jurtg Irishes Corporal Fnnlshment Was Again Legal. New York, April 14. prjo. Frank Sumner, 17 years of age, was arraigned to-day upon an indictment, charging him with forgery. He pleaded gnilty with a smile. In fact, his smile was steady and he seemed to regard the whole proceeding as ludicrous. "Sumner," said Judge Cowing, "yon are a criminal phenomenon. Though yon are a mere boy in years you seem to" be thor oughly hardened in crime. If I send you to the Elniira Reformatory I am afraid yon will corrupt all of the young men there that are trying to turn over a new leaf. If I send you to the penitentiary or to State prison you man come out even worse than you are now. I wish there was a statute in this State, as in Bbode Island, that permitted corporal punishment I think the very best thing lor you would be just abont 2 lashes, laid on by the public whipper, and should like to have him a particularly strong man. I will remand you for the present, and think over your case and de termine what I will do." Sumner looked serious when- Judge Cow ing mentioned the 25 lashes, but smiled again when he understood that the law would not permit that form of correction, and went back to theprisoner's box smiling. j V WILD H0E8E8 OF THE LLANOS. Two Bands Are Seen in Lower California, Led by a Handsome Boan. San Diego, Cal., April 14. A special from Ensenada, Lower California, Eavs: Members of Wright's surveying party came in from the interior to-day and report hav ing seen two hands of wild horses on the llanos or plains' between the Trinidad and. Santa Catanna valleys. The horses were extremely timid, and when they caught sight of the men they started off in the op- Eosite direction at full speed, led by a andsome roan of magnificent proportions. All the horses of both bands were appar ently of American breeding, and one large gray, which was larger and could not run as last as the others, is supposed to be a horse that iormerly belonged to "the International Company, but which strayed away three or lour years ago and was never heard of after ward. EB0ZE THSTBAPIISMAL BEC0BD. A Clergyman Immerses Seventy-Eight People In Twenty-Seven MInntes. Danville, Kt., April 14. Fully 1,200 persons of all ages, shades and conditions gathered upon the banks of Clark's run, near this city, this afternoon to witness the baptizing of 78 ot the 103 converts who have professed religion during the recent revival at the Baptist Church. ' The water was cold, but did not diminish the nrdor.of the par ticipants in the ceremonies. Bev. Wallace Fisher, a noted evangelist, officiated, and probably made a world's record for administering the sacrament of baptism, as he 'immersed the 78 candidates in exactly 27 minutes, pausing several times in his labors to start upon a new hymn for the congregation upon the banks. The church with which these persons united had at one time, and doubtless has yet, one of the largest congregations in the South. A BRADDOCK TRAGEDY Which Will Result in the Death of a Hungarian Woman From a SHOT FROM HER SPOUSE'S PISTOL The Husband Pleads It's an Accident, and He is Probably Eight NEWST KOTES FEOM NEARBY TOWNS rSriCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Beaddock, April 11 "Come at once." Only three small words, but written on a telegraph blank and addressed to Dr. B. Frank Price, of this place, was sufficient to startle that usually calm gentleman this morning. It was dated Duqnes'ne, and was signed Dm. Bodkin and Black. Visions of riot and bloodshed, or some terrible acci dent, danced before the doctor's eyes as he hurriedly answered the summons. On ar riving at Duquesne he was conducted to tho house of John Yerbloskjr, a Hungarian laborer at the Duquesne steel works, who, a few days since, had shot his wife (acci dentally, as he claims). The calling in of Dr. Price was for consultation. The physicians were unable to extricate the ball, which is lodged in the abdominal cavity. It had entered the woman's back two inches to the left of the spinal column. Peritonitis has developed. The result of the consultation is the conclusion that the woman will die. Owing to her precarious condition no statement could be gotten from her as to the shooting. The- husband, how ever, made the following statement to Dr. Price: On Monday after supper I was sitting In the kitchen cleaning my revolver. My wife was washing the 'dishes. I thought I had taken out all the cartridge;. I don't know how it happened, but the trigjjer slipped iiotween my ringers ana tne pistol exploded. My wile, who was standing with her back to me, was struck by the bullet and fell upon her face. I ran out and called in the neigh bors. Dr. Price, who has had considerable ex-" perience among the 'Hungarians in this vicinity, is satisfied that Verblosky's ver sion of the affair is correct, as the man's grief seems to be genuine. No one knows ot any discord between the couple. Ver blosky was arrested but released on.his own recognizance. The Coroner will probably investigate. BEADDOCK NEWS BUDGET.

PARKHDRST'S STATEMENT, Be Explains His Position His Charge Has Been Backed Tip, nnd Ha Has No Apolo gies to Make Easier to Criticise Than to Act. New Yobk; April 14. The Bev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhnrst, whose vigorous and effective -crusade against crime and vice in New York City has attracted such wide at tention, has sent ont a long statement ior publication. Among other things he says: Mr object is not so much to defend the methods which I have seen it wise to adopt as to put in distinct shapo the one object bward which I am working, whether as a preacher or as president of the Society for the Prevention of Crime. In the sermon which was preached from my pulpit on the 14th of February last, the one point nrzed was that one of the greatest difficulties which tho church has to enconnter in the prosecntion of its work is the license which Is municipally allowed to vice. This was im mediately met on the jart of municipal au thorities with a tempest of raillery which culminated In the presentment or the Feb ruary giand Jury. I was told that my oharges were general, that I had no idea what I was .talking about, nnd that the whole tendency of such vituperation was to bring the government into disrepute. In tho sermon preached from the same pulpit four weeks later, I accepted the situa tion and squared mvself to It, or tried to, and took and maintained tho position that not on ly were the general charges that I had prevlonsly made snpnorted by facts, but specifically that liquor saloons, gambling houses and disorderly houses wore pro tected by the police department, appar ently forn valuable consideration. Mv contention was then. Is now, and will continue to be, with the controlling powers or the police department, considered as tne guardian of criminality, meaning by that simply what wa? comprised in the present ment or the March grand Jury, which held up that department before the community in the character of a criminal; and it still hangs there. Now, I am not going to enter into any de fense of the methods which 1 adopted in order to secure my evidence. I will onlv take the llbertv or saying that those methods were adopted after a prolonged balancing of the oros and coutras. and in face of every criticism that has been passed or that may be passed. I desire to stand up in the presence of this community and sav that it was the only method by winch I could have cut to the quick .of this' whole corrupt business. It was the only method by which I could earn the power to say,, "I know." I have waded through quantities of filth in order to win that knowledge nnd to win the vantage-power that came with it, and I would wade through it all again before I would surrender that vantage-power, even though so dearly earned. If the police fear me and hate me to-dav I do not say that they do, bnt ir thoy do it Is because they are aware that I know whereof I affirm, and because they are assured that neither their threats, nor their plots, nor any kind of black guarding, will shake me from the hdld which my personal knowledge of the Iniquity which they practically, not to say actually, protect has secured to me. As to certain criticisms that have been passed, even by my friends, I want to say that I give them fall credit for sincerity In their strict ures. At the same time, it is always to be rememDered that It is a thousand, times easier to criticise another's action than it is to take action one's self, Mid if while I was planning how I could do something to help the, canse some one else had devised a better method thnn the one I was working ont, I am sure 1 should have been only too happy to strike into it, and work at their side and under their lead. BLLNDED B7 AN EXPLOSION. Sad Accident to Prof. Campbell , of Ann Arbor University. Ann Abbob, Mich, April 14. Prot Edward D. Campbell, assistant professor of metallurgy in the University, was made completely blind by an explosion in the chemical laboratory. He was working at a table in the basement testing the amount of hydrogen gas produced by the action of acid upon steel filings. From a large receiver tubes led through smaller retorts into a jar filled with spongy palladium. The gas was forced into this through a slender tube and there the hydrogen was absorbed and the remainder of the gas was returned and measured. The gas poured into the jar too rapidly, causing an explosion. Prof. Campbell, who was leaning over the jar, .was struck fnll in the eyes by the living glass. He turned, reeled, and ex claimed, "Oh, my God, I am blind," and fell into the arms of the stndents who stood near. Dr. Carrow, the professor of eye diseases, was hurriedly summoned and Prof. Campbell was taken to theihospital. The right eye was found to be completely shattered and full of broken glass. The cavity was at once cleaned oat in order to facilitate recovery. The other eye was cut half in two by the flying glass, and all the fluid had oozed out. The professor showed great fortitude and wanted to know the worst. "When informed that his eyesight was gone beyond recovery, he exclaimed : "Kill me, then. I don't care to live. lam not worth saving." At last accounts the patient-was' resting quiet ly. Prof. Campbell is a young man, not yet 30. He has a young wife and two small children. He is the third son of Jndge James V. Campbell, of the Michigan Su preme Court. PATTISON AT THE HEAD Of World's Fair Committee to took Ont for a Gas and Oil Exhibit. Habbisbueo, April 14.

A vigorous canvass is going on for the position of County Superintendent ot Schools. The term of the present incumb ent will not expire until May, 1893, but it takes a year to canvass all the 500 directors, and there are two candidates besides Mr. Hamilton, who will try to succeed himself. A meeting of school principals of Alle gheny county is to be held to-morrow at Jeannette. They will talk on educational matters, the principal subject being the question of how boys can be kept at school longer than is usual at present. There is a growing disposition on the part of parents io lane tueir dovs irom scnooi prematurely, for the sake of the iev dollars weekly the children can earn. There is no trouble in keeping girls in school, but boys have to leave before they have gained a proper edu cation, as a rule. The prevailing opinion among the principals is that the parents must be educated to thepoint of understanding that it is poor policv to cut boys' school davg short for a trifling sum of money every week.
