Two of His Trusted and Favored Lieu
 tenants Have Fled Chicago.


 tenants Have Fled Chicago.
 CHICAGO. Dec. 6-It has been discovered that the grain market manipulation, B. P. Hutchinson. otherwise known as "Old Hutch, :" has been victimized to the amount of S20000 by former clerk named Frank H. Bates. A short time since Hutchinson purchased board of trade membership for young Bates, and the latter took an active part in the interests of Hutchinson during the September wheat corner.
 Bates lived fast life and spent large sums of money in company with absolute companions, which coming to the knowl- edge of his employer, quiet investigation was made, which resulted in the dismissal of Bates several days ago Further investiga- tion shows that Bates. through his member ship on the board, which was really owned by Hutchinson, had, while acting for his principal, used the knowledge he possessed of the latter's speculative intentions to buy or sell grain, as the case might be- for his own account, before operating for Hutchin- son, whose deals later on, through Bates, would give the latter profit, as the market advanced or declined, on 'Old Hutchs" manipulations.
 Bates has fled from the city, and as John Lonergan, the 'selling clerk" on the board for Hutch, another fast young man and boon companion of Bates, has likewise dis appeared it will be impossible to ascertain the full amount of Bates crookedness for some days, when it is said other methods of Bates misappropriations will come to light

PLATT AND MILLER.
Indications That Their Fight for Place Is
 Growing Bitter.


 Growing Bitter.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 6-Warner Miller came to town last evening, and was quartered close to the Hon. Thomas c. Platt in the Fifth Avenue hotel. Mr. Platt was in the spacious corridors after dinner, and so was MT. Mil Ter, but they didn't happen to see each other Yet at one time they were only ten feet apart, but for all that it was stated by authority that neither of the aspirants for the treasury portfolio had met.
 MT. Platt was gracious and uncommunica- tive, and MT. Miller was equally so Mir. Miller met many political friends who wanted him to run first under the wire for the place, but were somewhat disturbed by the apparent momentum of Platts boom But it was announced that MT. Miller would be in town good deal more from this date to look after his own interests, and perhaps things for him will improve. MT. Miller himself didn't want to talk about his cam paign for the place.
 You'll have to excuse me" he said to a reporter who asked him about the situation, and he added: II have nothing to say at the moment" and drawing on his gloves and buttoning up his overcoat, he started out to meet, so his friends said, John E. Elam Gen Harrison's law partner, who is visiting New York with a political mission to the Big FOur. MT. MLleT 1FlenuS declared that Mr. Miller would advance his claims to the port folio solely on his campaign for gov ernor in the state and the assertion that his high license issue so split the Prohibition party that success for the national Republican ticket was assured by the accession of the electoral vote of New York state. They were not at all pleased later when it was pointed out that neither Gen. Harrison nor his representative, MT. Elam, was inclined to view claims based upon the high license issue with much more con sideration. It was emphatically declared by the friends of the two aspirants that one of the main reasons which has influenced the president-elect in the choice of a cabinet member from New York is the conviction that it will not be judicious to burden the policy of his administration with any dis tinctiye state issue

PHIL DALYS ESCAPADE.
1t Is a Mysterious and Sensa-
 tional Affair.
HIS WIPES FAITH UNSHAKEN.

The Public Generally Discredits His Story
 of the Alleged Trap and Assault-Addie
 Stanton a ProfessionaI-various Explan-
 atory Theories.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 6-The attempted shoot ing of Daly continues the sensation of the city. Three distinct opinions are held in re- gard to the case by the police and others con- nected with the city government. They are as follows:
 First-That Daily has not given the correct story regarding the shooting; that he has known the woman for some time and that she shot him through jealousy.
 Second-That Daly had no money to speak of on his person; that his alleged government bonds were stock ill racing association and comparatively worthless; that he cooked up his story hastily to cover his relations with the woman and prevent himself from ap- bearing in a ludicrous position and being -.guyedn by his friends
 Third-That the woman Stanton, though not beauty, is shrewd, intelligent and thor oughly acquainted with the modus operandi of the art of swindling men, and that she has been in a manner employed in Daly's gamb- ling operations.
 That she has a strong influence over him and that the case will probably not be prose- cuted to any extent; that Daly found rival in her apartment and provoked a quarrel
 1.-The women claim to be innocent of the attempt upon Daly's bfe," said Capt Reilly, land they declare positively, at least Miss Stanton does, that she is ignorant of their identity.
 We are certain, however, that Daly was shot, not clubbed; that neither of the wo- men shot him; that two men were in the room, rushed upon him from the folding doors and one of them fired at him with loaded pistol Daly asserts that he had only recently got acquainted with Miss Stanton" "
 The detectives in searching the apart ments, found two marriage certificates among some papers, also divorce papers showing, it is claimed, that the Stanton woman has been in the meshes of matrimony and divorce from her last husband.
 As the days go by more is gradually being learned of Addie Stanton's history. It was learned yesterday that four years ago she was frequent visitor at the Union Square theatre, and was seeking an engagement there She was backed at the time by some very influential men in this city, and sue ceeded in getting her qualifications for stage success written up in The Mirror.
 Phil Daly, attired in an elaborate dressing gown, was ensconced in a two hundred dol lar easy chair in his home, in the Strath- more last night, with cider down cushions in

 The business of the afternoon session was chiefly of a routine character The reports of the various committees were submitted and adopted. The joint committee on rules, of which MT.

At that meeting the foul tip was abol- ished, and four balls were agreed upon as a sufficient number to give the batter his base and base hit is to be credited to a batter when the umpire is hit with a batted ball on fair ground. These rules and the others were ratified by the Association, but consid- erable time was consumed in discussing the matter.
 As no other candidates presented them selves for admission into the Association, the eligibility of Columbus was discussed. The capital city was all right, and in fifteen minutes after the matter, was taken up Columbus was a full hedged member of the Association by unanimous vote. The meeting took another recess at 6 o'clock, and again went into session at &. The business for the evening was the election of officers When the meeting had ad- journed at Il o'clock the following was given out: President, secretary and treasurer, Wheeler C. Wikoff, of Columbus; vice presi- dent, John W. Spers, Kansas City, Chair ! man not elected, but Von der Ahe will get | it.

An Enormous Reward.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6-The announcement made yesterday that Mrs. Shell had in- creased the amount of the reward for the capture of Tascott from S20,OO0 to $500 making it the largest amount ever offered for the capture of any person, lends addi- tional interest to this celebrated crime.

MET IN THE BLENDING SNOW.

A Detroit Horse Car with Fourteen Pas
 sengers Smashed by a Locomotive.
 DETROIT, Dec. 6.-About noon yesterday heavy wet snow fell It was during this storm that a switch engine on the Lake Shore railroad was approaching the crossing of the Fort Wayne and Croghan street rail way at Duqundre street. It is said that the flagman at the crossing could not see the locomotive through the thickly falling snow, and hence he did not flag a street car that was about to cross the track
 The driver saw the locomotive and tried to stop his car but sharp grade prevented him. The locomotive hit the car squarely in the middle, crashing in its side and throwing it into the gutter. There were fourteen per sons in the car, but a few of them saw the engine in time to jump out unhurt The driver was thrown clear over his horses and seriously injured.

These were John Scenious, shoulder broken and injured in formally; Mrs. Mary Houck, head cut arm broken and injured internally; Miss Ella Marshall, hip broken and confusion behind the ear; Miss Vina Guilloz, internally in juredL Four other passengers were injured.
