disSected. The examination disclosed no evidence
OF pleuro- pneumonia, and all present were fully
satisfied that no contagious disease exists or has

Is that the cattle are affected with tuberculosis,
with indications OF splenic or acclimation fever.

They have been well cared for and warmly housed

refusal OF pordon by the governor or sight OF q
gallows plan has been able to disturb. II Is sus-
pected that the religious counselors OF Cluverius
finding all other means OF sortening the appar.

get Cunningham TO sing, and he complied. He

In fits haven OF rest the murderer, unable longer 20
preserve the grit OF which his friends have been

aloud, and the death watch, looking through the
grated iron door, turned away, touched by the
scene. The prisoners IN all parts OF the jail
paused and listened, and as they caught fhe
words, "The home OF the SOUL" and knew from
whence they proceeded, they, too, became quiet.
The episode made great impression at the Jail

Curious Story About Pittsburg's Claim
for 500 ON the American AssOcia.
ton.
PITIsBURG, PA, Dec. 1s.-President Nimick and
the directors OF the P1ttsburg Baseball club made
some rather sensational disclosures concerning
the refusal OF the American association at its
recent meeting in New York, to return &4OO to the
team according to agreement. After Barkley had
been fined $500 and suspended for one year at the
Louisville meeting, he brought a suit against the
association before Judge stowe. Mr.. Byrne and a
New York attorney named Wagner came on to
this city to represent the association Byrne hav-
ing been delegated the power to do so. Before the
had progressed very far the association repre-
sentatives grew shaky. They feared defeat in the
courts and a compromise was proposed. The
Pittsburg directors offered to pay a fine OF 800
and give the Baltimore club Scott, provided Bark
Iey's suspension was removed This was agreed
to- but, in order to uphold the dignity OF the asso-
citation, Byrne suggested that the Pittsburgs
pay $500, with the positive agreement that the
club be given credit for S400 on the books. The
officials OF the Pittsburg club say they ready
to make an affidavit that the positive agreement
as given above was entered INTO. Mr.. Nimick
also received a telegram from Mr.. Byrne saying
he had obtained the consent and Endorsement OF
all the clubs TO the agreement. The directors now
say that unless the money is returned they Will at
once begin an action against the association.
