Since the Baltimore and Ohio went
into receivers' hands a number of
fdorles have been current us to the
why and wherefore. It Is now stated
that the receivership Is a direct result
of over-confidence on the part of the
directors In a subordinate ollicer. It Is
mated that none of the directors went
hack of the returns, nor examined the
accuracy of statements made to the
hoard openly until about two weeks be
fore the receivership, when the chair
man of the finance committee became
suspicious of an Item of liabilities, and
upon (iitestlonlng a subordinate, learned
that .statements accepted as true by
the board were absolutely false. It
was this revelation which prevented the
placing of a loan which would have
aept the property from a receivership.
The Mineral Hallroad and Mining
company, a corporation controlled by
the Pennsylvania railroad, which one-
rates a number of anthracite coal mine
1n the Shamokln region. Is about to
abandon the i ameron mines, one of
the largest in that region. The reason
for this step is that the coal has reached
itch a depth that mining is no longer
profitable. The action 'of the comiiniiv
relative to this mine, has given rise to
the story that the Pennsylvania rail
road was. about to dispose of Us coller-
les In order to devote itself exeluslvelv
tm the carrying trade. Captain (Jreen,
second vice president : of 1 he company.
Bald yesterday that the mining of roal
was not the function, of a railroad, and
wniin there was no truth in the storv
that tlfe eompnny was about to dispose
or tne collieries in tne Shamokin region,
It would not be averse to leasing them.
If it could be done upon a satisfactory
busts.

BASE BALL GAMES.'
Exhibition Games Already Scheduled.
The Oob Will Hold a Fair.
The baseball prospects are today
brighter than they have been In Bome
time. The greatest efforts have been
made in the last two or three days and
there Is now enough money subscribed
to keep the club here. This will be
goon news to many iteopn- ewviu.v
to the stockholders who feared thut the
club would be sent south. The club
have all signed with the exception of
tleorge Staltx. and it is thought that
he will also sign in a few days. All
the club will be in the city in a few
Uavs and the practice will commence
sometime next week. A letter has been
received by Secretary Kenton from
Massev. who says he will be here on
Mnndu'v. lie will be glad to get back
among Carhondale friends. The first
Raines will be played out of town, the
club leaving for Patterson on the nth,
whore two exhibition games will be
plaved. The 14th and 1.1th will be
spent In Uridgeton and the club will
then return home. The first game to
be plaved here III be on the Kith, when
thev will meet the Cuban Giants. A
second game between the same clubs
will take place on the 17th. On April
I'll Wilkes-Itarre w ill play here and on
the :th Syracuse.
To help nay the expenses of the club
It was decided by the nianngement to
hold a fair which will probably open
on the week commencing April l..
People who wish the club to succeed
should trv and help them as much as
possible and In no way can they do this
better than bv attending the games.
The ball games and baseball club mean
much to Carbondale. more than u per
son tirst realizes, for it not only adver
tises the city but biitias muny strang
ers to this place.
I'AIM t i l. ACCIDENT.
Vhoinas Miuruy lrak IlisNuse, tjr a t all
Off lh(il fc II. Bridge.
Thore was ntiother name added yes
terdav to the long list of unfortunates
who have been Injured by lading
through the llcluware and Hudson
bridge which crosses the gravity tracks
between Seventh and Kighth avenues.
The victim was Thomas Murray, a res
Ident of the West Side, and his injur
ies, though painful, are not dangerous,
amounting to a broken nose aim wi
al bud bruises. It was very fortunate
that no more Injuries were sustained,
as the distance from the track to the
bottom Is nearly twenty feet. Murray
was removed to the emergency hospi
tal, where he was attended by Ir.
Wheeler.
The place of the accident is a very
dangerous one ami manv persons have
been injured at the place during the
last few years. As the property be
longs to the Delaware and Hudson and
all persons walking over the bridge are
trespassers , no damages can be col
lected. WILLIAM HICKS IMPROVING.
Mill Iventunlty Hecovcr Ills Reason
I nder proper Treatment
The case of William llicks, the young
man who suddenly lost his reason, has
attracted much attention in the city
and a great deal of sympathy has been
expressed lor the unfortunate man. Mr.
llicks was last week taken to Danville,
where under the care of competent per
sons It was thought he would recover.
The last hope will probably be realized
r.nd the friends of the young man will
rejoice at the news that he will prob
ably recover his reason.
A letter was yesterday received by
his wife from 11. 15. Meredith, superin
tendent of the asylum, in which he ex
pressed hopes of a complete recovery.
Mr. Meredith says that he Is somewhat
quieter than at first. His appetite Is
good and his physical health fair and
unless something happens he will even
tually recover.

WINDISCII CONFESSES.
He Scads for Mr. Stranti aad Talks
. . Freely Aboat the Crime.
George Windisch. the Pittstnn wife
murderer, now In the county prison un
der sentence of death. Is reconciled to
his fate and Is anxious that the punish
ment should be over. Yesterdav he
sent for Rev. a. A. Strunti. of St.
Paul's Lutheran church of this city,
who was formerly pastor of the
Hughestown German Lutheran church,
of which Windlscu had been a member
for twelve years, and at one time a
deacon, and to him made a full condi
tion of his crime. He says that on the
day of the murder he was lying on a
lounge when some ugly words passed
between his wife and a neighbor, and
the latter bald something reflecting
upon the character of Wludlsch and
his wire. The latter seised a chisel,
and without a moment's warning en
tered the room where her huband wus
lying and struck him three heavy blows
on the head with the Instrument. Then
he says:
"When I saw the blood running down
over my clothes I became savagely
mad, and rising 1 used all my strength
and succeeded in wrenching the bloody
chisel from her hand. Then I com
menced striking her with It until the
bloody deed was done. What happened
to me after thai Is not clear to my mind
any more, because I must have been
crazy. The blood on my clothes that
was shown to the court was not my
wife's blood, but was my own."
After assuring the minister that he
does not want his case carried to the
supreme court or to the board of par
dons, he said:
"My worldly affairs are now in or
der. I have deposited tllUO with Mr.
Holand. the warden, to pay for my cof

$30i) left. Of this 1100 I give to my

Arnold, who Is a widow and has taken
to my daughter. The other $l0u 1 leave
In your hands. Mr. Struntz to be equal
ly divided between my daughter at
Washington and my youngest son,
Frank."
Wludlsch was bathed tn tears and ex
pressed the desire not to live longer
than the day set for execution. He Is
resigned to his fate and speaks hlghly
of the treatment accorded him by War
den Koland.
