A dispatch from Columbus to the New York Sun Saturday says: ‘President Hewitt, of the Washingtons, after making several efforts by wire to secure Ralph Johnson, the third base- man, has resorted to the surer and more effe tive way, by sending Manager Ted Sullivan here to personally intercede in his behalf. He arrived this afternoon late and at once sought Johnson, whom he found in company with Man- ager Buckenberger, and without wasting any time an effort was made by Sullivan to induce Johnson .to sign a Washington contract. A flattering and tempting offer of a large sum in addition to that offered by Columbus was made, but Johnson would not consider it. It is re- ted that the difference would have been 1.600 in Johnson's favor. After an earnest but unsuccessful effort, Manager Sullivan was compelled to wire Mr. Hewitt in substance that ‘Johnson would entertain no proposition nor would he make any.’ The negotiations were therefore dropped. Following this result Billy Greenwood met Sullivan in front of his hotel and in unmeasured terms called Sullivan down for coming here to attempt to induce a ball | ceca! to violate his word of honor. Mr. Sul- ivan denied that this was his mission, He claimed that his visit was for a business pur- pose only, and he had concluded it as a busi- ness man should, and that ended the matter. The fact that Mr. Sullivan came here without any effort to conceal his object or to do any- thing under cover would incline one to the be- lief that Greenwood’s attack was uncalled for.” Deacons Ordained. THE SOUTHERN METHODIST CONFERENCE AT ALEX- ANDRIA. The conference of the M. E. Church South, at Alexandria, was continued on Saturday, Revs. David L. Blackmore, Norman N. Hall, Milton M.

Britton, chairman of the inaugural committee, March 4, 1889, by his | associates of the executive committee, asa token of their esteem and regard.” The speech- making on the occasion was enthusiastically ap- preciative of Gen.

THE PUMP WILL BE EXAMINED. The District Commissioners have replied to the complaint made by Mr. Henry F. Bauer of the removal of the handle and consequent re- tirement from active duty of the imp at 4} and Maryland avenue south week, upon which . Bauer said the neigh- bors depended largely for their supply of drink- ing water. The Commissioners say that the handle was removed in consequence of a report of the District chemist that the water was impure. An examination will be made to ascertain if possible the cause of the contamination of the water in this well, and if this cause can be removed, the Com- missioners say, the pump will be put in order; otherwise the well will be abandoned. SAID TO BE ON PUBLIC LAND. Mr. W. ©. Hill recently petitioned to have a brick mae walk laid under the permit system in front éf lots 70and 71 south of the old Co- lumbia College grounds.

The Com- missioners have refused them the permit. Attorney Riddle has rendered an opinion relative to the Commissioners’ power to reduce the rate of taxation in the District, as recom- mended by the assessor.

DETECTIVES TRAVEL 8,000 MILES AFTER & YOUNG MAN WHO LOOKS LIKE HIM. A Chicago special to the Philadelphia Press says: A, J. Stone, Alderman Badenoch and the two detectives, who have been chasing a boy whom they supposed to be Tascott, the alleged | murderer of millionaire Snell, returned home to-night empty handed. During the three weeks they were away from town they traveled 8,000 miles, They first visited Rat Portage, where the supposed Tascott was said to be working. When they got there they found that the young man had ‘gone to California, The search then extended to the coast, the detec- tives visiting Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Ta- coma, Portland, and San Francisco, After a terrible chase, which often led them through great snow fields, they finally overtook the object of their search.’ He proved to be the son of wealthy and prominent people in south- ern California. He bore a striking resemblance to the murderer. Mr. Stone is greatly discouraged, and is about ready to believe that Tascott will never be found alive, ee Enterprising and Remarkab!e Journal- ism. From the Hagerstown News. One of the most enterprising journals pub- lished in this country is the Washington Even- ING Star, and on inauguration day it accom- plished a wonderful journalistic feat, one that should doubly endear it to the residents of the District of Columbia, On that day it issued within three hours after the President had taken his oath of office, and the procession had disbanded, a paper containing 128 columns, most of which were devoted to a graphic his- tory of the events of the d: The magnitude and rapidity of that work. the preparation of the copy by the reporters, the type-setting, the stereotyping, and the final issue of the paper from its press can hardly be imagined by one unfamiliar with the operations of a modern | newspaper office. Tw Stan has three perfect- | ing presses, which together print 1,200 com- | lete four-page papers a minute, or 62,000 an hour. Tue STAR Saturday, Monday, and Tues- day of that week together make a more com- plete history, profusely illustrated, of the ina guration ceremonies and festivities and all tl scenes attending the event than has ever been printed on any similar occasion. & 7oe- a Tennis in Florida.

Mokley tried to part them, and in the struggle was badly cut in the abdomen with a pocket knife which Lynch had drawn, Lynch fled to Canada. The post surgeon says that Mokley cannot live. There are two companies of the 11th stationed at the fort and they do not like the place.

The Police Capture a Trio of Successful Counterfeiters. From the New York World, Sunday. There is generally a woman ina counterfeit- ing den, and the “she” in the gang which John F. Brooks, the head of the United States secret | service in this district, ran down on Friday afternoon is an unusually smart one. Elizabeth Fisher is her name, and Richard Fisher, her | husband, with the youth Robert Zeutner, are simply her tools—counterfeiting tools in the present instance. For several weeks Officer Brooks and his assistants have had their weather eyes open for the gang which was circulating counterfeit small money on the east side, and have been “spotting” two men who were hand- ling the coin, but were foiled for atime in their efforts to locate the place where the stuff was made, Policeman McManus shadowed one of the men persistently, however, till he caught his clue, and on ‘Tuesday a quiet raid was made at No. 205 Forsyth street, where the headquarters were found to be established. The building is a five-story structure and it was on the top floor that the gang had pitched its tent. Policeman McManus found the coin- ing operation in fall process, and scattered about the place were dies, plaster of Paris moulds and a complete outfit for the manufac- ture of counterfeit coins. Nearly $100 in vari- ous piles was seized. Mrs. Fisher, who was on guard at the prem- ises, and her husband and Zeutner, who were picked up soon afterward, were marched off to the statiomhouse, and yesterday morning they were taken before United States Commis- sioner Shields, where Fisher was non-committal and appeared anxious only to protect his wife. He was willing to take all the responsibility himself, he said. Zeutner, who is in his twen- ty-first year, pleaded that’ he didn't know the money was spurious, Mrs. Fisher discreetly kept her mouth closed, but appeared a good deal broken down, Fisher was put under 35,000 and his wife and Zeutner under $2,500 bail to await the action of the grand jury. Fisher is said to have been taught counter- feiting by his wife, who is an expert. Mrs. Fisher, who is about thirty-three years old, speaks four languages, French, English, Ger- man and Italian. Her face, which is very in- telligent, is lighted up by big brown eyes. She learned the art, the officers say, in Europe from an Italian, and has been very successful. The Fishers contined themselves to the utter- ance of coins of small denominations, and the “haul” disclosed counterfeit impressions of only silver dollars, half dollars and quarters, A good deal of this money has been floating on the line of the 4th avenue cars of late, and Chief Brooks beleives he has now discovered its source, Fisher is an ex-convict, having served a term of several years in Auburn prison, —__—_—__—___ The shooting match between William F, Car- ver, the world renowned all round shot, and Albert Bandle, of Cincinnati, Saturday after- noon, was won by Car Pony Yorr Buon. ‘When spring approaches, it is very important that the blood should be purified, as at this season im- purities which have been accumulating for mouths or even years, are liable to manifest themselves and ously affect the health. Hood’s Sarsapariiia is w doubtediy the best blood purifier. It expels every taint, drives out scrofulous humors, and gives to the blood the quality and tone essential to good health. Now is the time to take HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA. “My daughter suffered terribly with sore eyes, cdtused by scrofula humor, We were obliged to keep her out of school for two years. We had medical at- tendance, but she failed to gain relief. At last, know- ing that Hood’s Sarsaparilla hadcured my mother of rheumatism, and believing it must be good for the blood, I concluded to have my daughter try it, and it has entirely cured her.” CORNELIUS YEAGER, 412 East Main Street, Marshalltown, Iowa, PURIFIES THE BLOOD. “Hood's Sarsaparilla has cured me of salt rheum, which I have had for years. I do think it isa splendid medicine. I am 40 years of age and my skin is Just as smooth and fair asa piece of glass. I have six chil- dren, and when anything is the trouble with them the first thing I zo for is Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” MKS, LILLA CLARK, South Norwaik, Conn, Ny. B.
