BARNIE MAY BE ‘The Wagners of Philadelphia Given an Op- tion on the National Base Ball Club. DRTAILS OF THE DFAL FOR SECURING A FIRST- CLASS NINE IN WASHINGTON—THE CONSOLIDA- TION OF THE TWO OKGANIZATIONS—WILLIAMS OF CHICAGO NATURALLY OBJECTS. It will be a great surprise to the local patrons of base ball to learn that the Waguers of Philadelphia, or rather Geo. Wagner, treas- urer of the Athletics, have secured an option on nearly all the stock of the local club. Tus Sran has intimated lately that negotiations were on foot to secure fresh capital and that everything pointed toa twelve-league club. Puller details can be published now. It is the intention of Mr. Wagner to sell out to the league clab of Philadelphia, as it is Mr. Prince's intention to sell ont hie Boston club to the league club of that city. Lonisville and St. Louis are to be allowed Sunday games and 25- cent admissions if they decide to enter the twelvo-club consolidation, and it looks as if Mr. Williams’ Chicago association team were to be frozen out. The advantage to Washington of the deal is the securing of a hustling mana- ger in the person of William Barnie and the Presence of some of the Athletics’ first-class players. ‘he owners of the Athletics have obtained an gption on twenty-six shares of the stock of national team which secures them until the first of next year the privilege of buying it at their convenience within a specified time. Their object is to retain an interest in the game if they vell out to the league. The Wagners regard the Capital as one of the best cities in the country for a base ball investment uf public interest is excited by the establish ment of a first-class teau. PROCESS OF CONSOLIDATION. The Wagner brothers, whoown the Athletics, are to be given between $55,000 and £65,000 for their franchises and property, not includine their grounds, on which they have a lease fo. several years to come. ‘The Philadelphia league club is to pay £25,000 of the purchase rice necessary to get rid of its rival und the ague as a body will supply the remainder of the sum. It 1s estimated that the total cost to the league of carrying out its sweeping designs will be £250,000, of which $100,000 can be wap plied froma fund already on hand. — The re- mainder is to ve issued by assessment and de- duction from gate reteipts. According to the proposed terms of consoli- dation each of the league clubs in Philadelph: Boston and Chicago is to have a privilege of selecting fourteen players from its own ranks and the team with which it consolidates. All members of clubs who are not chosen will be formed into a pool and their distribution regulated by a committge of two or three, to be appointed later. Application 1s to Le made to the apportionment committee by clubs which desire new men, and if possible such re- quests will be granted. The ardent advocates of atwelve-club league wish the apportion- ment made in Indianapolis as soon as terms of consolidation are agreed upon, so that before the meeting breaks up each team in the pro- posed circuit will be ready for next scason's championship contest, In briet, the plan of the base ball reformers is to form’a twelve-club circuit, which will em- brace the cities cf Paltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn and Boston in the east and Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, Cleveland, Pittsburg and Cincinnati im the west. Milwaukee and Columbus, which are now inciuded in the association circuit, are to be bought out by the present clubs of the National League, and in Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago the rival teems are to’ be con- solidated. WILLIAMS oBECTS. The only one to protest against this plan on the part of the association is Mr. Wiliams, president of the new club at Chicago. Quite naturally he doesn't relish the prospect of re- linquisbing the realization of his dreams of being a base ball magnate and inflicting upon Spalding his threatened revenge in the way of cutting into his gate receipts. Mr. Williams says he will overturn the whole arrangement, and the Philadelphian Press placidly assures the public that he has already doneso. Tomorrow's conference of the two organizations might as well be postponed in that case. FAVORED BY ASSOCIATION MEN. ‘Mr. Williams’ wishes cun hardly keep the as- sociation in line. Besides the eight league clubs, which are eolidly in favor of the new plan it ie claimed that the Boston and Phiiu- Iphia association teams desire consolidation. Itis further said that while the other seven as- sociation members constitute a decisive ma- jority the loss of Boston and Philadelphia, if both should insist upon selling out, would so weaken the circuit that the anti-consolidation men would change their minds. Ex-President Prince, who owns a majority of stock in the Boston. Reds, is decidedly in favor of twel celui The association delegates will get together and decide upon a line of policy before en- gaging in consultation with the league or en- tertaining any of its propositions. The name has not yet been selected for the new organization, but the association men are opposed to having it designated as the “Na- ional League.” It is regarded as probable that some compromise title will be agreed upon—perbaps “American League.” PLAYERS TO BE DISTRIBUTED. Nearly all the clubs in the contemplated cir- cuit of twelve would be very strong and the Orioles would have to make a hard fight for a creditable position. The players who are pretty sure to be distributed, if general consolidation is effected, would include Catcher Gray, Pitcher Thornton, First Baseman Brown, Second Base- man Hallman and Shortstop ‘Allen of, the Philadelphias; Catcher Cross, Third Baseman Mulvey and Outtielder Wood of tho Athletics, Catcher Ganzel, Pitchers O’Briea, Buttiuton and Gastright, First Baseman Brouthers,Second Baseman Stricker, Shortstop Radford and Outfielders Richardson and Brown of the Bos- ton Reds; Catcher Gunson. Piteber O'Duy,First Baseman Stearns, Third Baseman Lyons, Short- stop Parrott and Outticlder Browning of Chi- cage. WHAT PRESIDENT BENNETT Says. President Bennett of the Washington club said to a Stax reporter today that the story of the proposed change of ownership of the local club is practically correct. If the peace meet- ing at Indianapolis tomorrow should prove successful, a» is generally hoped, the managers of Philadelphia will went to transfer the Athletic club to Washington. With this object in view they secured an option on the majority of the stock of the local club. Should the twelve-clud league be adopted Washington will have the Athietic teain here, including — Dann: Richardson and = Roger Connor, wi Barnic as manager. President Bennett said that in his opinion some arrangement would have to. be made for paying the walaries that have already Soe can tracted for. He has hopes of the ulti- mate success of the plan of consolidation, but thought the chances would be beiter had the movement beenstarted before the establish- ment of the costly Chicago American Awsocia- tion team, —————— ‘The Christian Police Association. ‘There will be another meeting of the Chris- tian Police Association at the home of the Newsboys’ Aid Society. on E street, tomorrow evening.

Whisky was the moving cause of his trouble, and if reports are true the separation of bis family added fuel to the flames already kindled and drove him to desperation. The first time he attempted to end his life he did so at a botelon Pennsylvania avenue, where he stopped over night for that purpore, and blew out the gas. At that time © wrote a letter to a Christian friend telling of his down fall and of his inability to overcome his appetite for strong drink. In this letter he Iso tuextioned his family, and concluded by suying that he preferred death tow drunkerd's fe. A few weeks later be made a second attempt in the same manner, but the smell of escaping us attracted aswistance and his death was pre- vented. From the hotel he waa taken to the sixth precinct station, to be held until he was perfectly sober, and while being detained in the lodgers’ room he turned on the gas and would have died bad not the station keeper dis- covered him as soon ak he did.

Not long afterward Covert was awakened by «> heavy breathing of his room mate, and wh n he arose he found that Stepheus was ill, and he sent word to one of the employes about the hotel. When he found the empty box, labeled “morphia,” he concluded that the maa was dying and had him removed to the Emer- gency Hospital. ‘That was about 5 o'clock, and two hours ater he died. The deceased came here irom Atlanta and se- cured a position in the water department, but on account of bad habits he lost his position, and has since been engaged as a canvasser for & publishing company.
