MONEY IN EASE BALL.
Who Some of the Vanderbf1ts Of the
 Profession Are.

Who Some of the VanderbiIts Of the
 Profession Are.
 From the Philadelphia Press.1
 The question is often discussed and asked as to the wealth possessed by different peo- pie engaged in the base ball profession. Of course there are great many people who are financially interested in the various clubs who never handled 8 ball and bat, but are otherwise actively engaged in the profession, and few who in times gone by were players earnings while playing gained a foothold which led them on to wealth. First and foremost comes Al Reach, of the Philadel- phia club. After cutting loose from the pro- fessional ranks he started in small way in this city the sale of base ball goods, and by strict attention to business and will made of iron he gradually built up an establish ment which is second to none of the kind in this country. He is now estimated to be worth $200,000. Al Spalding follows Reach with $150,000. Next to Spalding comes George Wright with S75,OOO. The richest ball player in the profession is Captain An son of the Chicagos, who is said to be worth $5O,O
 Of the managers, Harry Wright is believed to be the possessor of $35, 900 in stocks, real estate and cash. Frank Bancroft can draw his check for a cool 5000 Lew Simmons, although not player at any time, is thank full to the patrons of base ball for the ESQ., 900 he is the owner of. Charley Mason has laid by sum which is said to run we'll up into the thousands. Jim White is worth ss5, ,ooo, Dalrymple sl5, ,OOo, Jim Mutrie S15,G00, Comiskey s12,000, O'Rourke $15,- 900, Sutton s12,Oo0, Keefe s1a,0oO, Will White $15,o00, stovey $10,000, MeCormiek Merrill SIC, ,000, Richardson S7,500, Dunlap $1O,0O0, Wood $7,50O, Irwin s7,5O0, An drews $7,50o, Fogarty s7,5O0, Ward $6, 800, Bushong s6.000, Connor 5000, Hines S5,- 900, Glasscock 5000, Casey 5000. There are others who should be named in this list, but those whose names mentioned I positive about. It will be noticed that the majority are league players. This can be ex- plained by calling attention to the fact that league players have been in the business much longer than have their young friends in the association. There any number of economical men in the association who are laying aside nice little sum for the future.

He Holds the Fence.


 Several weeks ago a Detroiter purchas- ed a piece of land in the west end of the county. After the purchase had been completed he engaged surveyors ser vices to see if he had been cheated. The discovery was made that line of fence was over on his land eight inches. When he went to the owner of the adjoin- ing property with the statement the man re- piled:
 t'Stranger, the row about that fence be- gan twenty-eight years ago. It was then five feet over the line and the two men fit and fit until one was killed and the other crippled. After a while it moved another foot, and then the other owner fit and fit. until one of thelawyrs got the two farms The fence was then moved anoth CT foot, and two new owners spent half the year in iawing each other and the other in lawing. One died and the other got sold out on a mortgage, and when I got this farm the fence was moved over another foot. And then l fit and fit, and two years ago wss kicked in the ribs and was laid up for three months During that time the fence was moved to it's present line. So it's still on your land?''
 .sYes"
 ssWeIl, s'pose the proper thing is a row. If you'll go out by the barn with your re- volver ri come out and hunt for you with the shotgun. If you git one drop on me don't let go because l shall shoot to kill"
 It took the Detroiter some time to con- vince the farmer that he didn't care for eight inches of land, and when he had suc- ceeded the old man drew a long breath of relief and replied:
 'sThat's kind O you and it leaves my boys chance to fte and fte after I'm gone. I hope you ain't coInin' out here to live along side O mel"
 .tNo."
 "Glad ont. If you lease, git some man who'll want them other eight inches The boys and I is lonesome"

NOT so FOND OF GOING TO SEA.
 The British tar has been 6 soaring soul and almost any mans equal, but there is ev- also that he is not as numerous in the British merchant service as he was. A report by the English board of trade on the percentage of British and foreign sailors employed in that service has just been made, and it is in teresting.
 In 1853 legal restrictions as to the nation ality of the men employed on British ships were abolished, and at that time it was es- timated that not more than four per cent. of foreigners were employed in any capacity ss seamen on British seago1ng ships. Now 8 careful estimate shows that the percentage of foreign seamen is fully fourteen per cent, and of foreign masters 2.4. In certain sec tions of the country, such as on the Tyne, at Hull, Cardiff and at London, the percentage is about twenty, while with vessels sailing from Southampton only two per cent. of for packet lines, such as the Cunard, the Inman and the Union companies, are supplied with British seamen; but the sailing vessels, par ticularly those going upon long voyages, have to depend very largely for their crews upon foreign seamen. The report gives statements made by large number of ship owners going to show that the better class of British sailor is now desiroas of finding employment which will bring him frequent ly back to his home, and that those of the nationality who ship on long voyages have deteriorated very greatly from the standard of excellence which they formerly possessed. These second-rate British sailors are still con- sidered more desirable than Frenchmen, Austrians and Italians, but for stsadiness, patience and other good qualities they are inferior to Germans and Scandinavians.
 Very much such change as this has been going on in this country. "Going to sea" is apparently not as attractive as it used to be to Englishmen and Americans.

 A nurseryman near Stratford, England. sued the Great Eastern railroad conapany for damages done to his flowers and fruit by the smoke and noxious vapors emitted by their locomotives, which "fueled up" in siding close to his garden. Evidence was adduced to show that, in consequence of his com plaints, the company had sometimes m1ti- gated the nuisance. The defendants did not deny the damage; but it was maintained by their counsel that they were not legally lia- ble, since the legislature had enacted that their engines must, as far as practicable, consume their own smoke, and this could not be effected without evolving sulphurous acid, which, he contended, was the main cause of the damage done. Justice Fields, however, pointed out that, since the hui sance had been occasionally abated, it could not be called inevitable, and the jury, special one, after twenty minutes delibera- tion, awarded the plaintiff $500, for which judgment was given, an application to stay execution being refused.

Dr. Kosmann of Breslau has introduced 6 new safety cartridge for use in coal mines. The idea is a novel one. Finely divided metallic zinc is placed in a glass tube di- vided into two parts. one to contain the zinc, the other sulphuric acid. The car fridge is placed in the hole bored to receive 1t, and being ''c1ayed," the miner drives an iron rod into the tube, which breaks the COZ tracted part of it. The sulphuric acid is thus brought into contact with the zinc, and rapid evolution of hydrogen gas takes place.
 Asia is ''behind the times" in many re- spects, but there are not less than three thou sand newspapers published there, of which no fewer than 2,000 appear in Japan. In China the only newspapers not published by residents at the treaty ports are four-the Ming Pao, an official journal published at Pekin; the Chen-Pao and Hu-Pao, published at Shanghai, and the government journal at Corea, brought out last year. There are three newspapers printed in French Cochin China, and one appears in Tonkin-L'Avenir du Tonkin; the rest of the newspapers cred ited to Asia appear in India, with the sxeep- ton of six, published in Persia.
 The NewYork Star very truthfully says: The practice of collecting and publishing statis- tics of the graduating classes at our colleges has now been carried to an absurd and scan dalous excess at Yale, where, in addition to the usual questions about height, weight, habits. future aspirations, etc., the seniors have been asked to give their opinion of New Haven society. It might have been hoped that the gentlemanly instinct which is thought to be cultivated by course at Yale would have prevented the class of 1886 iron, making any record whatever for tie women and girls with whom they may have asso ciated while at college. No society, either in New Haven or elsewhere, is to be held uI to the judgment of lot of unfedgsd boys and in this particular case, where praise would be an assumption, tendency to jest or ridicule has been an unwarrantable in, pertinence.

have turned the ladies eyes to the shop
windows and dry goods counters in search
for spring wear. At no place, however, has
the general expectation been more fully an

where the piles Of new goods include a
multitude of novelties giving promise when
the whole stock shall have been opened OF an
assortment unequalled, not only by others,
but even by the house itself. Everything
seasonable is or will be soon on the counters,
The house specially delights in spring and
summer stock, as a specially on which ex
IRENE care is bestowed, and this season
greater pains than ever will be taken to
make the stock doubly attractive to hold its
own with other engagements of stock in
other departments. 1t is little early yet
for particulars; but the ladies will do well to
bear the stock in mind before making any
purchases.

in and out of the courts, is again making his

night, after busying himself playing pool TN
til late, he started out to secure all the
equipments necessary to start trstclass
livery stable. He first took horse from
Mr.. Lester, living on the Covel Creek road,
retaining him until reaching Mrs. Libbys
place, where he exchanged for one of her
horses, then he took horse from William
Belford, and from his brother Thomas Pat
terson, in Farm Ridge, he possessed himself
of whole outfit. After abandoning his
brothers buggy and taking buffalo robe
and whip from John Iluss, he ended up AT
La Sale, where he was arrested 1t is very
evident that Patterson is insane, and it is due
to him as well as his friends, that proper
care be taken of him.
