GENERAL srOETIXG NEWS OF THE DAI
Manager Bnckenberper is now convinced
beyond anj possible doubt whatever that
Pittsburg is one ot the greatest baseball
towns on earth if it only has a winning
team nr anvthins lite one. And so is Von
der Ahe, because he toot away from Pitts
burc over J2.300 as his share of Friday and
Saturday's games, and the home club got
SSCG lrom the grandstand Saturday after
noon, wnich neither Von der Ahe nor the
Leacue could get their hands on.
This shox-s what a vast amount of money
there is in baseball in Pittsburg if the team
can only win games and keep near to the
front. Von der Ahe took more money away
Jrom here for the two days than the local
team got on their entire Western trip.
Western Trip Keco'p's. j
TVn. rioint of the trin amounted to
51,806 25 and was realized as follows: Cin
cinnati, opening game, SflSj 35; second
came, S240 52. Louisville, 583 25; St. Louis
first game, $297 67; second game, 5309 4G.
In commenting on the-e figure's Manager
Buekenberger last evening said: "I am
convinced that Pittsburz will support a win
ning team as well, and probabl V better, than
anv c.tv in the country. I think we have
winners, and the team will play even better
than thev have been doing."
To-dav's game at Exposition Park is sure
to be well attended, because of the attrac
tive features that will be connected with it.
The Lonisville team are in the van, and
nmmijr them are Tom Brown, Billy Kuehne,
Pete Browning and Strattou, all ex-ritts-Lmrg
players. They have manv friends
here, and Alexander Marvelous Jones, the
Ilomestead phenom, is among the players,
al'houjjh he will not pitch to-day.
riayers TTo Didn't Get.
Still further. Weaver and Grim are
among the number, and they are two play
ers that Manager Buekenberger signed for
the local club, but higher powers relegated
them to Louisville. These are very attrac
tive features indeed. And there is Manager
Pleffer, ulio is now quite a brilliant star in
the baseball world.
The pitchers to-dav will be Old Sport Gal
vin and Jouette Meekin. Xeither has
pitched a losing game this season, and it
will be a question of Greek meeting Greek.
One of them will suffer his first defeat to
day. "Who will it be? The iates will help
the old man.
Swartwood will not be able to play to
dar, and his place will be filled by Pop

THE BORROWING BILL
A World's Fair Director Explains What
Chicago Wants How the 83,000,000
Are Sought From Uncle Sam About
SS,000,000 Needed tor the Show.
"Washington, April 2i Mr. Lyman J.
Gage, of the Chicago directory of the
"World's Fair, in an interview to-day re
ferred to the confusion in the minds of the
public as to the leal substance of the
Durbur bill making additional appropria
tions for the Fair " and the proposed
amendment thereto. The bill before
the committee, Mr. Gage said, proposes that
the Government shall advance $5,000,000 for
the work of completing the Exposition in,
all of its departments, reimbursements to be
made out ot the net avails of the Columbian
Exposition Company in the same proportion
and at the same time or times as re
imbursements are made to the cltv of Chi
cago on its appropriation of $5,000,000 already
made That is to say, that if the
city of Chicasro realizes hack into its
treasury $2,500,000 or $5.000,C03, to the
same extent will the Government be
reimbursed. The suzgested amendment
proposes in place or tne aDove mat tne uov
ernment shall appropriate $5,000,010 to be
loaned to the Exposition Company, repay
ment to be provided for out of the net
amount received into the treasury of the
company after its outstandingbonds. irany,
but not more than $3X00.000. shall be paid,
and before any reimbursement is made to
the city or Chicago or distribution upon the
stocks of the company.
"As we have view it," continued Mr. Gage,
"the first proposition is in harmonv with
the act of Consress passed April 25, 1890,
under the authority of which the whole
movement is carried on." The conditions
required bv the act, he continued, have been
complied with and the further fact now ap
pears, viz.: that $7,000,000 or 88,000,000 will bo
lequired to worthily complete the great
undertaking.
Whose business is it to permit lit" he
asked.
"Nobody has agreed to do it. Upon whom
does the burden of responsibility i est? The
bill before the committee proposes that the
Government shall do this upon an equitable
basis of reimbursement. If adopted it con
tinues the Government as thesoveieign of
this exposition and the Exposition Company
as a co-operative agent or servant. The
alternative idea does violence, we think, to
this theory pf relationship, and by implica
tion, if not by direct expression, passes
over to the State corporation the responsi
bility which should rest with no one but the
Government itself."

A FIST FIGHT TO A FINISH
To Taka Place at Scranton Between the
Mayor and an Editor.
Scranton, April 24. Special. There Is
said to be excellent prospector a fist fight
to a finish between Mayor John H. Fellows
and P. A. Barrett, the city editor of the
Scranton Times. Mr. Barret has accused the
Mayor of maladministration while in office,
has ridiculed his messages, laughed at his
management of the police force, and made
light of his efforts to prevent the" Times from
getting news. One of Barrett's reporters re
cently teased the Mayor about the city
editor, aud said that Barrett would like to
test his muscle in a fist encounter. The
Mayor expressed his willingness, and the te
porter soon informed his chief.
Mr. Barrett wrote that he would meet tho
Mayor outside the city limits without
weapons, and referred the city Chief Execu
tive to Mr. Mollis, editor of the Time), who
will arrange further particulars. The same
evening that tho letter of Mr. Barrett was
sent the Mayor sent a replv, which was de
livered to Barrett by Police Sergeants
Spellman and Edwards, Barrett refused to
show this letter to reporters, but said It
contained an acceptance, and that he was
to meet the Mayor with bare knuckles at an
early day.
DOLUTH'S BIG TEEMINAL.
A Colossal New Bchetne Projected, Perhaps,
by the Canadian Pacific.
Dcldth, Minn., April 24 William C. Sar
gent, who latejy returned from London,
where he has been negotiating with English
capitalists, has submitted a proposition to
the Common Council, which will be consid
ered to-morrow night, and which will em
body one of the greatest schemes for rail
way terminals in the country. Tho scheme
embraces the whole of Minnesota and
Park points, extending about 80 mile, with
tunnels under the ship canal and bridges to
Superior and Old Superior. The latter will
run fiom Minnesota points to AUouez
Point.
The project has plenty of money behind it,
the popular belief being than the Canadian
Pacific road is to put up the funds. The
Duluth and Northeastern Railway and
Terminal Company will incorporate to
morrow, with local men as incorporators.
DUPED BY A FALSE MAEBIAGE.
An Indiana Girl the Victim of a Scoun
drel's Shabby Trick.
Indianapolis, Isd , April 24. Miss Mollio
Zigler, of Southnort, made the astonishing
discovery to-day that she was the victim of a
mock marriage. Some time ago she eloped
to this city with William It. Casbion, and
Casnion absented himself oftenslbly to pro
duce a license and a clergyman. He soon
returned with what she "supposed to be a
certificate and minister, and the wedding
followed.
A few weeks ago Casnion disappeared, and
for the first time a doubt was cast upon the
legality of their union. Investigation to-day
developed that no marriage license had
been issued, and that Miss Zigler had no
legal right to call herself a wife.
