THE ARLINGTOY- MEETING POSTPONED ee ik Gossip Regarding the Cup Defend- er’s Hull. — GENERAL SPORTING NEWS President Young of the National Base Ball League says there is no foundation for the various rumors floating about in the newspapers to the effect thut Mercer, Washington's: starpitcher; is to be’ ex- changed or transferred to. spme other club. In the first place, Mr. Wagner has resolved that he witl not dispose of any of his popu- lar players. He realizes that the people of Washington have some rights that the players and managers are bound to respect. He fully appreciates the fact that Mercer is a great favorite here. The other league managers also recognize the drawing strength of Mercer, when it is announced that he is to appear inthe box. The visit- ing managers ajso ,understand that the gate receipts fora ‘series in Washington aré worth considering, and they are not going to help kill the goose that lays the golden egg by dickering any further with Mercer... «+--+ Se Any club in the league would give a large slice of United Sfates currency for the services of Mercer; but they have been given to understand that they must keep hands off, because ‘the base ball public of Washington. will not tolerate ‘It-- Besides, Mr. Wagner realizes that in Washington he has” one~of the most desirable’ fran- chises in the league, and he does. not pro- pose to “queer” himself with his patrons.

JIt is learned from President Young that Mr. Brush has written a letter to the presi- dent of the league, in. which he claims that, Cincinnati, has the first claim to Gum- rbert’s services after the Pittsburg club, be- cause of certain negotiatians. which Man- ager Connie Matk of -Pittsburg entered into with Capt.-Manager Buck Ewing. Naturally, Mr. Young declines to express any opinion on the subject, because*hie may be called upoa later to untangle the snarl into which it appears that. Cofthfe Mack has unintentionally thrust himself. Manager Ned Hanlon came to Washing- ton a few days ago to confer with Prgsi- dent Young an the*subject of the playing rules.

After having solifited. suggestions from prominent playergpgleague umpires and other persons supposed to be experts in the subject, Mr. Hanlon has reached the conclusion that th@¥e is -but little neces- sity for many ‘radical alterations or changes ~ in the rag; which were: in force last season. There will probably be some minor changes, with a view *to improving the de- portment of players while on the field, and there may be a few alterations or ex- planations of: techyjeal. points, but on the whole, tbe -playink frules of the coming season will be subeipntially. those of last year.

POSTPONED THREE DAYS. The. Meeting at Arlington Discourag- ed by the Pimlico People. The Arlington Racing Association had thirty carpenters at work at the Arlington course near Baltimore yesterday. It was decided by the officers to postpone the opening race day from the 6th to the 9th day of February, thus the racing will begin a week from today. Work on the the well-known catcher | track was also being -done yesterday. Track scrapers worked the snow off to the outer rail. The new grand stand will be 150 feet long and 40 feet wide and will seat about 1,000 persons. Under the stand will be the betting room, which will be as large as the stand. The front ends and sides of the stand and betting room: will be inclosed in glass and will be heated. Instead of twenty days’ racing, as was first agreed upon, the meeting is to have: but seventeen race days. Twenty or more horses are expected Monday and the stabling arrangements for them on the track~have been perfected. Other stables are being repaired, so that .ton high about 100 horses can be sheltered at the course. Within a radius of a mile from the track stables for 200 more horses have: been secured, say the .association’s repre- sentative. President Waters of the Pimlico Driving Club yesterday assembled the board of di- rectors at the club office to decide upon the application of the Arlington Associa- tion for stable room. The board passed a resolution declining to rent its stables to the promoters of the meeting, and asserting it to be the sense of the board that a running meeting held in the winter would be detrimental to the interests of the community at large. The resolutions declaréd that the Pimlico board would do nothing to encourage the winter meeting. INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS. A Sharp Discussion in the Cornell University Freulty. — - The Cornell University faculty yesterday discussed the advisability of abolishing in- tercollegiate athletics. There were sharp contests of words, and the parties for and against abolition were clearly. defined. President Schurman gave out this iufor- mation: “We did not decide to abolish in- tercollegiate contests, nor to prohibit the teams leaving town, but the sense of the meeting was that some check should be put upon the events attending the great games. “Final action was deferred until next week, although it was practically decided that ‘the resolution introduced by Prof. Roberts should not be adopted. The re- strictions. which are necessary in the eyes of the faculty will be agreed upon next Friday afternoo Brooklyn Handicap.

The many lady acquaintances and friends of the Carrolls are looked for in numbers to witness the bowling match on the in- stitute alleys tonight between the home team and the team of the Young Men's Catholic Club. No cards of admission re- quired for them or their escorts. This will be the second occasion of this sort at this popular organization for this season, and it goes without saying that such events add a great deal to the already great pop- ularity of. the’ best, the most enjoyable and invigorating of all in-door athietic sports. . Game will be called at 8 o'clock and con- tinue until three games are bowled. A Chance to See Basket Ball. The basket ball teams of the Columbia Athletic Club and Washington Light In- Yantry, the two leaders in the District bas- ket ball tournament, will play at Washing- Infantry Armory thig evening at 8:30 o'clock.

Champion De Oro Beats Young Eby. Alfrede De Oro, the pool champion, has got his revenge for the defeat that young Grant Eby administered to him a fortnight ago. Eby beat the champion then by the remarkable score of 200 to 9). The two expérts met a second time on Thursday night in New York, and De Oro quickly won a match 150 points up, giving the spectators a treat by the neatness and skill of his strategic game. He won by 150 points to Eby’s 110. The victory was won when the score stood 104 to 101 against the champion. The latter buckled down to business then, and clearly outplayed his young rival. He pocketed 49 balls to Ely’s 6, and was cheered to the echo. The match was for $225, and there is talk of a public mecting of the two stars. Directly Brenks a World’s Record. A large crowd attended the meeting of record-breakers at Fresno, Cal., yesterday and saw Directly,-the champion two-year- old pacer of 1804, lower his mile world’s record of: 2:07 3-4: by :one-half a second. The track was heavy, and efforts to get it dry failed. Had it -been.in good con- dition -it -is-the- opinion -of the horsemen that other records would have been broken besides Directly's,! There. were> two - box- gy places, which interfered greatly with speed. : —_+>+_—..- RAILROAD BUMORS.: ¢ Talk of a Sale of the Georgetown and town Road. There is a revival of gossip in regard to the sale of the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad. While there seems to be an im- pression that some sort of negotiations are in progress looking to a change in the ownership of that property, there seems to be nothing definite known. The officers of the company, as well as those who own the controlling interest in the road, while not denying that a sale of the road is prob- able, at the same time assert that no defi- nite proposition had been made which could be accepted. There is a good deal of interesting talk in regard to the probable purchasers. of this property. It is claimed by some that the Washington and Georgetown would like to acquire this road as a feeder to their own and that this corporation is behind the proposition to’ buy.» When this rumor was called to the attention of a director in the Washington and Georgetown corporation he said that he had not heard that his company desired or intended to buy the Tenleytown railroad. It is also asserted that representatives of the Metropolitan railroad are among those who desire to purchase this road, but this rumor is also contradicted by those who are in a position to know about the affairs of the Metropoli- tan road It is also said that outside parties would like to secure the control of this property and manage it as is being done at present— as an independent road. The various. ru- mors are given for what they are worth, as they form an interesting topic of con- versation in local railroad and financial cir- cles. —— How Voleanoes Are Made. “Volcanoes and How They are Made” was the subject of a lecture Inst night by Prof. J. S. Diller of the geological survey at Washington Seminary. The lecturer discussed first the history of these burning mountains. Experiment had demonstrated that at a depth of fifty miles the tem- perature of the earth would be about 3,000 degrees, or hot encugh to melt iron. The earth at this depth was kept solid only by reason of the immense pressure on it. When a fissure or other exit was opened up, the material botled forth as a volcanic product. The lecture was amply illus- trated. a A dispatch from Pittsburg announces that the largest tin plate works in the United States will be erected as an addi- tion to the Illinofs steel works at South Chicago. ‘The tin plate strike is over. 24,000,000 POUNDS Of Quaker Oats sold in 1893. and cheapest breakfast food in the, wide world.

Senator Teller finished his speech on the financial situation, using the District a1 prepriation bill as a text, shortly after 3 o’clcck yesterday, and active consideration of the bill was then resumed. A debate was precipitated by Mr. Aldrich asking tor an explanation of the provision changing the rate of compensation for gas and elec- tric lighting in the city. Mr.Gorman expiain- ed that the:change made a saving of $),000 a year over the House bill. The Senate amendment, he declared, is merely the ex- isting law, which the House sought to change, and in doing so made several pro- visions that were not easy of enactmen Therefore it was thought wise to restore the. present law. A question arose as to the price of gas in the city, and Mr. Harris of the District committee stated that that committee is about to take final action upon the bill now pending before it pro- viding for cheaper gas furnished “by the old eompany and fora new charter to be given to a company that offers’ to furnish gas to the public at one-half present rate. In the course of the debate on this subject Mr. Chandler deprecated any legislation that would cayse the-streets to be torn up and the pavements disturbed. He said that Washington has the reputation of having the finest pavements in fhe country, if not in the world. My. Harris made a charac- teristic reply in his peculiarly emphatic way. t bas the fipest pavements in the world,” he said. “it has not the reputation simply, but it has the pavements.” ‘Yam! Very glad,” replied Mr. Chandler, “when any statement of mine is empha- sized by the Senator’ from Tennessee, be- cause then it is doubly correct and doubly strong.” The.gas.and electric light amendments were then adopted, as was that which tol- lowed, appropriating 0) for the con- struction. of a new harbor boat. The appropriation of $37,500 for the com- pletion of the improvement of the Dale- carlia reservoir, {he completion of which is to be done under the supervision of Col. George “H.*Filiot; notwithstanding his re- tirement, gave rise to a debate on the necessity: of this latter provision, to which Mr. Chandler objected. Mr. Gorman com- plained that while both Gen. Casey and €ol. EWiot are anxious not to have work imposed upén them after their retirement, it was thought better to have the work they are now undertaking to go on to com- pletion under their direction. The amend- ment was finally modified by the addition of these words: “And said officer shall be allowed, until said completion, to pay and allowance of officers of his grade on the active list; and in case of the death of dis- ability of -such officer, the werk shall be completed under the direction and charge of the chief of: engineers.” There was a good deal cf talk cver the provision for an investigation of the prob- lom for the increase of the water supply. and the amendment appropriating © for this purpose was finally adopted just before the Senate adjourned with 2 single amendment offered by Mr. Gorman, which struck out from the items of the inquiry these words: “And the cost that would be entailed upon thé CheSapeake and Ohio canal in raising its banks by reason of such increased height of jand.” This was in response to numerous criticisms especial- ly voiced by Mr. Hale, fo the effect that the government should not worry about the canal company in this connection. WOMAN'S SSOCTATION, Business Transacted by the Press Writers Last Night. Mrs. Hannah B..Sperry presided at the regular business meeting of the Woman's National Press Association, held last even- ing in Willard’s Hotel. After the transac- tion of several business matters Mrs. Marian Longfellow O'Donoghue, a niece of Longfellow, réad an interesting paper on the poet. An invitation to join the Inter- national Press Association was accepted, as was a proposition to keep open the press bureau of the association, at 610 F street northwest, between 12 m. and 1 p.m. daily. On motion of Mrs. Belva Lockwood, Mrs. Sperry and Mrs. Foster were chosen as del- egates to represent the association at the national council of women, to be held in this city; beginning February 17. On that occasion Mrs. Lockwood will act as repre- sentative of the National League of Wo- men's -Clubs. .A committee, comprising Mrs. Mary Foster, chairman; Mrs. E. S. Cromwell, Mrs. George E.

MUM PEMALTY. MI George Roth Gets Of With a Light Sentence. George Roth, the young man who on Christmas.day endeavored to force his wife, Maggie, to drink ammonia, was today sentenced to a year and a day in the Al- bany penitentiary by Judge Cole, the min- imum penalty. Counsel’ for Roth presented a petition, signed by many builders, in which the man was said to be a good and industrious workman, having but one fault, that of being addicted to drink. In passing sentence Judge Cole referred ‘to the previous good character of the de- fendant, remarking that in his case, as in that of nine-tenths of all criminals, liquor was at the bottom of it. But, said the court, the man was particularly fortunate after all, for if the woman had died he could not have escaped the gallows. Trust- ing that his trouble would be the means of making a better man of him, Judge Cole said he would impose the lightest sentence, a year and-a day in the penitentiary at hard labor. —— : Young Organization. The youngest organization of wheelmen in the District, who style themselves the West Washington Cyclists, are hoiding a fair in the Albion, corner of 30th and N streets.

Webster and Harry Cheshire were out driving yes- terday evening the thoroughbred horse which they weré driving suddenly became stubborn and .refused te-move.- Detective Webster, who was driving, struck the ani- mal with the whip, when, to his surprise and discomfort, the horse, instead of start- ing, as he expected, began te use its heels, which very narrowly escaped striking Web- ster in the head and doubtless would have done so had he not rolled out the back of the buggy. The accident happened near the poor house, about a mile and a half from town. After a good deal of persua- sion they managed to get the horse started, but Detective Webster refused positively to get back in the buggy, saying that he preferred to walk, so Mr. Cheshire drove the horse back to this city and had him taken care of. It is safe to say Mr. Web- ster, who owns the horse, wilt not soon again drive him. Fortunately the buggy was not very badly damaged. Completely Destroyed, “Rose Hill.” Fairfax county, about four miles southwest of this city, formerly the residence of Mr. W. B, Daingerfield, but now the property of Mrs. A. K. Atherton of Washington, but occupied by her son- in-law, Mr. Reidel and his family, was totally destroyed by fire yesterday. The fire was caused by a defective fiue, and as the house was frame, the flames soon got beyond control, and the building ‘was com- pletely destroyed. Most of the furniture of value was saved, but many valuable manu- scripts and antiques, which Mr. Reidel had gathered in -Mextco and Italy, which were valued at $1,500, were lost. The house, which was valied ‘at $3,000, was insured for $2,000. Mr. Riedel and family are now living in one” of’ the ‘tenement houses on the place. Rose Hil] was,cnue of the pret- tiest country places ‘in this part of the country. Looking for a Horse Thief. Capt. Jas. F. Webster received a tele- phone message from-the Washington po- lice authorities yesterday to look out for a negro, whose name is unknown, but who is wanted in Washington for the theft of two horses from parties residing in the District of Columbia. The thief was seen at the Alexander Island race track with one of the stolea horses, and it was sup- posed that he was on his way to this city with the stolen animals. The police here are keeping a sharp lockout for the horses, but as yet nothing has been seen of them. Noten. The committee on public property is hav- ing a stable erected in the back yard of the Columbia engine house, to be used when any of the horses of the department are disabled and out of service. The erec- tion of this stable has long been recom- mended by the fire wardens, and will re- sult in a saving to the city, as heretofore the sick fire horses have had to be boarded at_one of the livery stables. Services were held last night at Grace Episcopal Church, and this morning serv- ices and communion were held at 9:45 o'clock. Complaint is made that the electric light lamp at the corner of Royal and Gibbon streets does not burn properly. The remodeling of the interior of St. Mary's Church is progressing rapidly, but it is thought ‘that it will be about Easter before it wili_be ready for divine services again. Mrs. Algernon Chalmers gaye a very handsome reception at her residence last nighi in honor of her guest, Miss McGuire of Winchester, Va. Messrs. J.-B. Alexander, J. H. Fisher and G. W.
