A DESPERATE JAIL BREAKER,
An Ex.Prize Fighter Wounded While AT.
tempting TO Escape From Prison.

UTICA, N. Y, October 21.-Warren
Shipman. confined in the County Jail at
Herkimer on charge of highway robbery,
made desperate attempt to break Jail early
this morning. Sheriff Morey heard noise
in the Jail and called on the under Sheriff
to go with him and find out the cause. They
found Shipman in the corridor, although
he had been locked in his cell last night
and his cell door was still locked.
He was trying to saw off the bars of a
window.
In response to their orders that he return
to hiscell he sprung upon the men, and,
having been a prize-fghter, was in a fair
way of overpowering them when bullet
from the Sheriff's revolver struck him in
the wrist and settled the battle. 1t is
thought that there was preconcerted plan
on the part of all the prisoners to escape, as
upon examination all of them were found
to be dressed.

MR.. SPALDING'S VIEWS.
hood Forced Him TO Lease His
Grounds for Three Years-A


Grounds for Three Years-A
Club ut Springfield.
CHICAGO, October 2l-This is the day when
the men who are going to play ball with the
League clubs next season should sign the con-
tracts. Mr. Spalding. President of the Chicago
club, was at headquarters early to receive
them, but. at o'clock, Captain Anson's name
was the only one put down.
II cannot say when the rest will sgn," said
Mr.. Spalding, "as have only talked with three
or four of them"
What new players 90 you expect to getr'
Il am not prepared to answer that"
What do you think of the proposed Baseball
Players Brotherhood Do you think it will
succeed?"
We'll, don't know anything about it The
players whose names have been mentioned in
connection with it deny the rumors which have
been circulating and those outside who have
been reported to be in the scheme disavow any
knowledge of it. All know about it is what
have seen in the papers,"
If the Brotherhood were formed would it
seriously affect the Lacquer
1T would affect the League, certainly" said
Mr.. Spalding, but how seriously time alone
could tell However, the League would go
right on introducing new players instead OF the
old ones, if 1t should come to that"
What steps, If any, have been taken for
fighting the Brothernood?"
Il don't know that any step has been taken
in that direction, nor do know what steps are
likely TO be taken. We must first find out that
there is Brotherhood before We go to fight
ing it."
"A morning paper has printed a story to the
effect that the leaders in this alleged Brother
hood scheme are to be reserved at the salary
limit and kept on the bench until they have
been forgotten and lost sight of among the
great players of the past what is there in
that Mr.. Spalding?'
Nothing. 1t is Dure felton,
"How about the new League grounds?"
We're going to keep the old grounds.
We've released them for three years. We
had intended keeping them only year longer.
but the Brotherhood began bidding for them
and we had to take lease for three years."
Then there is Brotherhood after allT'
We'll, yes; 1t would seem so."
And its bidding against you for the old
grounds forced you to renew your lease for q
longer time than you had Intended?'
Yes. l suppose it was the Brotherhood who
ran the price up on u.s."
At Springfield to-day baseball organization
called The Chicagos" was incorporated, with
II. r. Donovan and Laurence t. Ennis among
the prominent promoters of the scheme. 1t is
believed that this has something to do with the
proposed Brotherhood club.
Il cannot say anything about the matter
now" declared Mr.. Ennis this afternoon. Il
am merely the attorney of the men behind the
scheme. The directors will probably meetvery
soon, and will then be ready to make state
ment to the public"

PHILADELPHIA, October N.-The seven
survivors of the steamer Earnmoor, which
foundered at sea when 800 miles off Turks
Island, arrived in this city to day. They
tell a story of terrible suffering. The Earn
moor struck terrible gale on September 4,

three fremen and the cook chung to the boat
and scrambled in. An effort was made to
save the rest of the crew, and drag was
made of the painter, but
THE BOAT WAS BLOWN AWAY
and the oars wrested from the hands of the
man so that no more could be saved. The
cries of the drowning men as they were
dashed about by the mountainous waves
could be heard by the men in the boat The
boat drifted into the Gulf stream and the air
was warm, but this increased the intensity
of their thirst
"The horrors of hunger on the second day
became awful" said Carl Crane, one of the
survivors, to-day, ''and it increased as time
wore on. We managed to pick up seaweed,
which gave us a little nutriment. and on the
third day flying fish was caught. This

each man and devoured.

and the second was the third engineer,
Thomas Hunt. Ope night while we were
all asleep except a German fireman named
Flagge. who was on watch, he suddenly be-
came insane and jumped overheard. We
were too weak to save him. We were with
out compass and steered by the sun by day
and the stars by night. Eleven vessels

; William Rankin was arrested yesterday
afternoon and placed in a cell in Central
station. He had been acting peculiarly,
but no attention was paid him until an un-
earthly series of yells was emitted by him.
The turnkey ran to the cell. There stood
Rankin with q long-bladed pocket knife
thrusting at imaginary foes, evidently in the
throes OF Jim jams. No persuasion
could induce Rankin to give up the
knife. He took the turnkey for an enemy
and tried TO stab him through the bars. The
officers worked two hours and finally opened
the cell door. But Rankin would not come
out to be caught. An effort was made with
tongs to get the knife but failed. Finally
DR.. Meyer got him quieted and coaxed HIM
out. Detectives Coulson and Fitzgerald Sc

Rankin was insinuated into straight
jacket. He was taken to Jail and put in
padded cell, so ne couldn't injure himself

Reliable Clothing or none.
We don't get the meanest

We make and keep de-

after a fashion of our own.
We wouldn't know how to
sell it, with our generous
rules, if we hadn't made it
and didn't know how good it

You would see the hesitation
in our faces.
But, you don't see any.
We are ready to come to a
reckoning with you any day
in the year over the wear Of
our clothing. Over the prices.

We are seeking a large
business now. Money-mak-

SIX DAYS OVERDUE.
A Brooklyn Lumber Steamship Supposed to

Probably Drowned.
NEW YORK. October 21.-The steamship
Brooklyn Formerly the Tonawanda), Cap
tain Carson, which sailed from Darien, Ca,
October 12 with cargo of lumber for the
South Brooklyn Saw Mill Company, is
supposed to have been lost, with
all on boards persons in all
in the gale of the 18th, as
she is now six days overdue. A vessel an
swering completely to her description was
passed by the steamer Cherokee on October
II, 16 miles from Body Island, with her bow
20 feet out of water and her stern apparently
on the bottom. Her bow ports were
out, showing the lumber inside. The
vessel was seen the same day by
the steamer Iroquois, and on the 18th by the
steamers Santiago and Chalmette, which ar
rived at this port on the 10th. The Brook
lvn was a screw steamer of S45 tons. She
was built in Philadelphia in 1864, and was
owned by the South Brooklyn Sawmill
Company.
The steamer State of Texas, from Fernan-
dina, reports: October 20-Body Island
Light, bearing W. N. w. IA miles distant.
Passed a sunken wooden steamer in 19
fathoms of water; was standing on end,
with about 15 feet of her bow and bowsprit
above water; was loaded with yellow pine
lumber, some of which was protruding from
the bow ports.

THE KID RULED OFF,
st. Joe's Pusilist and n Friend Get Into
Trouble.

Trouble.
CINCINNATI October 2l.-The directors of
the Latonia Jockey Club have ruled Lemuel
McGregor, otherwise known in sporting circles
as the "St Joe Kid,n and Otto Roth, another
turf follower, off the Latonia course, This
action has been taken in consequence of an oc-
currence Saturday afternoon. 1t appears that
the two in question had invested in a bet on
Clamor in race in which that horse was
beaten. After the race the name of Clamor
was erased from the ticket and that of Carus
substituted, and the ticket presented for pay
ment. 1t was pronounced a forgery and the
case laid before the directors with the above
result.
This ruling excludes both men from every
track in the United States, and notification was
sent last evening to the Lexington track Of
ficials, whittier the two sports are supposed to
have gone.
From the evidence given in the case the di.
rectors incline to think that Roth may have
been the unwitting tool of "the Kid" and a
chance will be given him to clear himself, but
this will be conditioned on his making a full
confession as to all parties implicated in the at
tempted fraud.
