He intimated that it was to be a fight to a finish, and quoted the case of McGraw as significant proof. McGraw, he said, was scheduled for sale by Han- lon & Co. at $14,000, the player to receive $7000 of the furchsae money. This, with Lis salary of $000, he threw aside to join forces with the new association. Mr. Quin | asserted that the American Association would have no reserve clubs.

Applica- tions from Providence and New York have been received, and one of these cities will surely be selected at the meet- (ng to-morrow. me of the most important things done to-day was the adnE\ion of a resolution that each city which is granted a fran- chise must deposit $5000 as a guarantee that the club is acting In good faith. Each city s willing to deposit that amount. CLEVER _ACTB-ESS ARRIVES. Miss Keith Wakeman, a Californian, Will Join the Frawleys.

To this the remler replied that if Cardinal Richard's explanation led him to consider the ac- count of his visit published in La Croix incorrect, nevertheless he was compelled to condemn the Cardinal for his unusual step. The Government. he added, had de- cided to suspend the stipends of those biskops and priests who wrote letters to the Assumptionists containing protests in- compatible with the respect due the work of justice. As a result of the council, Premier Wal- deck-Rousseau has suspended the allow: ances of the Archbishop of Alx, the Bish- ops of Versallles, Valence, Viviers, Tulle and Montpelier, and the Vicar of Vignor. The Cabinet also came to decisions re- specting various bills to carry out the naval scheme, and these M. Waldeck-Rous- seau introduced at the ogening of the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon. They were referred at his request to the Budget Commissicn.

It asks for 140.600.000 francs to defend the coasts, including 38,000,000 francs for the defense of Blzarte. | the French naval stronghold on the coast of Tunis.

E. | Whitney & Co., who resorted to a stupid trick of claiming he had been robbed to hide his crime, appeared before Judge Mogan yesterday. His eyes were shialded by a pair of vlue glasses and he held his hat In front of his face. He explained to the Judge that he had been awake all night and his eves could not stand the ight. Poetz nad been charged with grand larceny, and he was instructed and ar- raigned’ by the Judge. He asked for a continuance, as he wanted to get an at- torney, and sald that he believed his em- | plovers would mot prosecute him. The udge continued the case till Friday. There s a strong likelihood that the boy's employers will refuse to prosacute him. 1In fact, neither Arthur L. Whitney nor Edward Pond, who constitute the firm | Whitney & Co., has sworn to a | complaint, and So far as they are con- | cerned Poetz need have no fear of going | to prison for his offense. When Mr. Pond | was seen last night he declined to say | whether his firm would appear against the boy. He expressed himself as full sympathy for Poetz. and says that it was on his authority that the boy refused to | talk about the case. He claimed that the sum buried by Poetz was less than $600 the checks for $1370 having been stop at the bank. The detectives claim t Poetz took the coin to cover up a pre- vious defalcation of $627, but this is denied by his employer. who says that Poetz's agcounts are correct to a cent. ““Neither Mr. Whitney nor myself,” sai1| Mr. Pond. “were anxious to lock Poetz up, | but the detectives insisted upon it, and. it | fact, the records will show that Detectives | Cody and Gibson are the complainants, The boy was evidently out of his mind | when he committed the deed, or else he | acted under some extraordinary impulse | which he could not resist, The story of the robbery was so straightforward that 1 would have believed it implicitly had he | not confessed.

Board of Public Works Begine to Re- trench. The Board of Public Works vesterday recelved a report from Commissioner Ma- hony in which he recommended that she number of carpenters employed should not exceed four, including M. Doyle, whom the Fire Deaanm-m will carry on its pay roll, but asks that he be tgpolmed head carpenter by the board without compen- sation. Mr. Mahony is also convinced that the working of material by the machinery in | the shop is not the most economical wa, to have it done, and an agreement shoul be made in advance with one of the many private planing mills, and the cost greatly reduced thereby. Both recommendations were adopted by the board. The services of the watchman at the carpenter shop were ordered dispenssd With after January 31 on account of the prox!mnr of one of the engine houses. The following petitions were referres the Bureau of Streets: From the W. Addition Improvement Club, reque that Bush street be thoroughly structed and placed in good condition; from the West of Castro Street Improve- ‘ment Club, calling attention to the bad condition of the crossing at the Intersec tton of Twenty-third and Diamond street. and also to the effect that Gray Brothers’ teams are depositing screenings on Dia- mond street, between Twenty-third and Clipper. —_————————— Wants to Earn Enough to Get Home.

NCIDENTS N GOFBEL'S ASSASSINATION Continued from Page Twelve. The tragedy at Frankfort was the indi- rect yet not entirely surprising result of the intensity of bitter feeling that has been engendered by the recent State elec- tion and the political plays that have fol- lowed it. Only in the assassination of President Garfleld is anything like a par- allel to 1t to be found in the history of the country. Though often In the past the scene of bloody and fatal encounters between indi- viduals in settlement of personal griev- ances, the capital city of Frankfort has never before seen such as this. The as- sassination of Judge Elliott, in the seven- tles, by Colonel Buford, a disappointed litigant, is the only event in the history of the city or the State of Kentucky that approaches it, in lack of personal resp sibility and provocation on the part of t victim and cold-blooded purpose ar preparation on the part of the asse The last election in Kentucky ] of the most hotly contested in political annals of the State, and that there has not been bloodshed before is not due to the absence of hot blood and bitter feel- | ing, but rather that when once begun there was ne telling when or where trouble would stop. parties, while thoroughly eager for a fray, were reluct ones to start it he excitement incident to the canvass and election had well s en. ¢ State Board of gave him a certificate of John Marshall as Lieutenant The flling of the notices of cc apprehension as to the outcome, part of those who were familiar situation and knew ..e temper .

Under the constitution of the State the General Assembly, while having the power to ¢ tablish contesting boards for every other elective office, never had the power or dis- cretion to do so in case of a contested election for Governor or Lleutenant Gov- ernor, but it has always been provided for in_the organic law. When the Legislature convened the Democrats had a majority in both houses, | but not enough margin in joint assembiy | to insure the constitutional majority necessary to unseat the acting Gov and seat his opponent.

MILITIA AND GUNS HEAE FOR ACTION FRANFORT, Ky., Jan. 30.—Three hun- dred men of the Second Kentucky Infan- try were camped around the Capitol bulldings to-night, and 1500 more are e pected during the night and. before noon to-morrow. Word was recelved from Loulsville Le- glon that the First Kentucky Regiment would bring with it a Gatling gun. The Gatling gun of the Lexington com- pany was posted just to the west of th Capitol steps, and a tall sergeant who h. it in charge had carefully calculated t range to a row of small stores and dwe: ing houses south of the Capitol grou For weeks it been the story when an attack should be made upon the State Government by the discontented either party the firing would com- mence from the upper windows of these houses. The evening trains did not Bring as large a crowd of people as was expected. Word had been received from Covington, Ky.. the home of Mr. Goebel, that a lar crowd would be down, but not more than a score of people came in, and they were not of the class that create disturban Numerous inquiries were received by members of the Legislature from their constituents, asking if they were need In all cases word was sent back that n the that body was needed and that crowds least of all things were needed just now. Several ! small piaces In the neighborhood Frankfort sent.in a man or two to obt a general idea of the situation and carry the report back. In every case the messenger, whether Democrat or Republican, was sent back with the word that now was a good time to keep out of Frankfort.
