A Popular Manager of Theatrical Troupes
and Base Ball Clubs Missing.

Popular Manager of Theatrical Troupes
and Base Ball Clubs Missing.
New York World
It was reported at police headquarters last
night that Dan O'Leary, the celebrated hustler
from Detroit" had not been seen since Feb. %
and his friends fear that he has been foully dealt
with. During the afternoon of Washington's
birthday he was at the Morton House and around
Union Square, but he has not been seen or heard
of since. Some Of his friends advance the theory
of suicide, but the idea Is secuted by those who
knew him best.
He had been engaged in theatrical enterprises
many years and was also professional bass
ball player and ball club manager of note. Dur
ing the past winter he managed the Shakspear-
ian dramatic troupe of Louise Pomeroy, but he
left the company when it was at Paterson. N. j.,
last February. He had managed the Indian
apolis Base Ball Club in 1885, and when Wash
ington was admitted to the National League he
was offered the managership by IL. b. Bennett
The club afterwards changed hands and O'Leary
failed 70 obtain the position. That was made
known about the Goth of February, and those
who believe in the theory of suicide lay stress on
the fact that the loss of the position caused him
to become rather melancholy and to take to
drinking heavily.
OLeary was finelooking man, being FIVE
feet ten aud half inches tall. OF athletic build
and having black eyes. His hair and mustache
were also black. He was about thirty
years old. He was known all over the country,
and many humorous anecdotes are told of him.
When he severed his connection with the Shak-
spearan Company he said to his friends: ''Pm
done with Shakespeare. You may drop me
from balloon above the clouds and will start
base ball club anywhere land. But I'm done
with Shakespeare"
He was unmarried, and his only known rela-
tive is his mother. who lives at Detroit

Association, employed at MacDeth's works, with
drew from the organization because President
Smith refused to permit them to form new
union. On the South Side an assembly of the
Knights of Labor was formed, which now has
membership of twenty. while the other workmen
in the factory. about eighty in number still con-
tinue in the union. Repeated efforts to bridge
over the difficulty have been unsuccessful, and
now more vigorous measures have been adopted.
President Smith, of the American fint-elass-
workers. has ordered strike which will begin
on Wednesday morning All the members of the
union will positively refuse to go to work until
the Knights of Labor are discharged from the
firms employ. This will cause fight between
the two organizations, which may spread to
other places. The strikers will be supported by
their union, while the boycotted men will have
the support of the Knights of Labor. This will
be the only case in the history of labor unions in
this vicinity where a conflict has occurred be-
tween u I'm. The American Flnt-glass-workers'
Union has membership of 5000 in the United
States and Canada, and embraces all the workers.

the agitation consists of false differences and con-

Barbara Fritchie Never Saw Confederate.
Washington Special.

Some time ago had occasion to say something
about Barbara Fritche. and the absence of any

General Johnston, of the confederate army. with

he said of Barbara Fritchie:
''She never saw a confederate soldier and
probably no of any kind. Her house was at

bridge. in Frederick. The troops marched by
there during portion of the 10th of September
On that morning Genral Jackson and his staff
rode into town to the house of Rev. Dr. Ross,
the Presbyterian clergyman there, and paid a
visit to Mrs Ross, who was the daughter of
Governor Mcdowell. of Lexington, Va, where
Jackson lived, and whom he knew WE'LL After
the visit to Mrs. Ross. at the parsonage, which
was next to the Presbyterian Church, and not
on the same street nor near Mrs Fritchie's house,
he rode at the head of his staff by the court
house. down through the Mill alley, up to
Patrick street. some distance beyond the
Fritchie house. He never passed it, and in all
probability never saw it. 1t is needless to say
that no such incident as that described by Whit
tier could have occurred in the confederate
army"
