Pitcher Keeie VIII Mnrrx.

New YonK, April 24.-Somewhat of a
sensation was created in local baseball
circles yesterday by the report that Tim
Keefe, New York's pitcher, is about to
become a benedict, and that he will wed
Mrs. Helm, sister of Mrs John NJ.
Ward, nee Helen Dauvray. il is said the
event will soon be solemnizcd, and that
keeie has not signed with New York's
club because of it. Additional color was
given the rumor by the fact that yesterday
John NJ Ward arrived in this city, having
obtained leave OF absence from Manager
Mutrie. II is said that the wedding may
take place today in New Haven, keefe
having left Boston for that place Saturday

charge OF improper relations with An
ME Livingstone. She takes this step,
she says, because John L., while travel
ing on the two continents during the
past two years, has acknowledged Annie
Livingstone as his wife. In order 10
publicly repudiate the relationship thus
accepted by so many people, Mrs. Sulli-
vanproposed that she should join in
the procession which will welcome the
champion, riding in carriage on which
should be displayed streamer announc-
ing in letters OF black that "Tbis is
Mrs. John l.. Sullivan No. !. The other
can follow after" Her friends, however,
dissuaded her from this plan, urging that
so conspicuous a position would do her
no good
Another plan by which the aim intended
might be reached was suggested, namely,
the arrest OF the pugiist while in the midst
of his welcoming friends. Accordingly,
with friend, gentleman who is well
known in the South End, Mrs. Sullivan
yesterday called at the Office OF Mr. Bragg,
a lawyer, and explained to him that she
wanted him to take steps TO procure n war
rant for the arrest Of Sullivan on the charge
made. The lawyer Unexpectedly re-
piled that warrant on such n charge
could scarcely be issued in Massachusetts
with such evidence Of guilt as Mrs. Sulli-
van could show against her husband. lie
said the proof must be strong, and in the
absence OF witnesses he did no. feel will
ing 10 undertake the arrest. Mrs. Sullivan
then went before District Attorney Stevens
and asked him TO make the arrest ON be-
half OF the city and county. II is not
known what answer the district attorney
gave, but they parted TO meet again this
morning.
Latcr-The steamer California is still Gt
Quarantine. John l.. Sullivan, the pugil- |
list, was taken aboard tugboat by his
friends and brought TO the city. A car
rage was in waiting at the wharf, and Sui
Ivan, accompanied by his hackers, Mr..
Phillips, his father, and Sylyias Gockin,
the oarsman, was driven up town amid the
cheers and situations Of hundreds who
had congregated on the wharf.

The Emperor ana Bismarck.

BERLIN, April 13.-Semi-ofiicial &C
counts regarding the differences be-
tween the emperor and Prince Bis
marck are at variance. The following
facts are known in the highest circle.
At the close of the recent
interview with Prince Bismarck
the emperor intimated his intention of
inviting Prince Alexander of Batten-
berg, to Berlin to confer an order upon
him and to appoint him correspondent
to the rank he formerly held in the
German army. The chancellor pro-
tested against such step as inexpe-
dent. The emperor declared that he
would abandon this idea. The matter
was regarded at Charlottenberg as set
tied, and there was a great surprise
few days later when Prince Bismarck
forwarded memorandum to the en-
peror stating at length his reasons for
opposing the betrothal, and saying
that he must resign if the emperor did
not accept his advice. The emperor at
the interview on Wednesday declined
| to permit the chancellor to resign.
There is now absolutely no foundation
| for the hints appearing in the press
| that the betrOthal project may at no
| distant date again be brought forth.
| The reports that Prince Hohenlohe
and Count Won Hatzfeldt, minister to
| England, have been sounded as &c
their willingness to succeed Prince
Bismarck, are untrue. The emperor
has not for a moment contemplated
the possibility of the chancellor
resigning. The recent conference
between Count Herbert Bismarck anC
Crown Prince William in the waiting
room of the Pottsdam station haC
nothing to do with the question Of TIT
betrOthal of Princess Victoria to Primes
Alexander, but referred to the estate.

NEW YORK. April 13.-The suspen-
sion of the American Exchange in
Europe, limited, was reported to-day
and VIM. C. Boone, the treasurer of
the company was appointed receiver
by Judge Lacombe, of the United States
circuit court in the application of
Sullivan s. Cromwell, attorneys for the
company. Mr.. Cromwell says the
liabilities were about "a GOO, 600. The
concern has had no credit rating
at Bradstreet's for the past
year. The company was formed
in 1880, under the English
limited liability law, with an unau-
thorized capital of SIS 100000, of which
$78O, 900 was paid in, and succeeded to
the business of III. T. Gillig & Co.,
which had been established in 1878,
paying $500 600 in stock for the pur-
chase. Henry F. Gillig remained as
vice president and manager. Mr..
Gillig stated to Bradstreets, April 80,
1887, the annual statement of the COM
pany will soon be ready snd will prove
satisfactory to our friends, though we
do not pay any dividend on the business
of 1887, as we used the money to de-
velop the business to which we are
now expecting some important add
tions through the American Express
at New York
