STEUBENvILLE wEAKENs.
Nobody There Will Venture to Organizea
Ball Club.

Al Pratt visited Steubenville yesterday with
the object of trying to get a baseball club or
ganized there in connection with the Tri-State
League. Mr.. Pratt returned home fully con-
vinced that a club cannot be organized there
this year. Speaking of his trip he said:
"There is considerable baseball enthusiasm in
Steubenville but the difficulty Is to get hold of
somebody to be responsible for a club. About
81, 900 would organize a team there that would
pay well, and I'm certain that more than that
could be secured from the business people,
Why 100 persons could soon be found who
would be willing to put up $40 piece, just be-
cause of the advertising that city would
get as a result If I had not been
in business here could soon have a team in
Steubenville. L would get about IL young men.
paying the fielders and basemen from S45 to $50
per month each, and two batteries at about $50
or $40 each man, and have a good team. There
are plenty of good young men ready to make a
start at these figures The grounds and grand
stand are there yet and everything could be
made comfortable at little expense. However
high salaries placed the club in so much debt
when it was in the Ohio State League that no
body seems inclined to be identified with it
again. think Erie will be willing to take the
place intended for Steubenville Erie is q
good place and will have an excellent team"

A CALL ON CARNOT.

The French President Unable to Attend the
Game In Paris To-Day-Monsieur Lynch
d-Boulanger Bound TO Be
President.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
PARIS, March 7-ICopyrightI-The weather
continues bad, but the prospects are fine for a
big attendance tomorrow, if the game can be
played. Lynch visited President Carnot, this
afternoon, with an invitation. NJ. Carnot
responded that he would be most happy to at
tend, if possible. Later he sent word that an
official engagement prevented, but he would
send his official staff.
1t was impossible, of course, to send an Official
invitation to Boulanger, but it is likely he will
be there if the game can be played. Notes Of
bassies, and the responses show that the at
tendance will be of most desirable character.
1t will be necessary to leave on Friday night
after the game. in order to be in Bristol on
Saturday, where game is billed. Many Amer
leans called at the Hotel st. Petersburg to-day
to see the boys. Placards announcing to-mor-
rows game may be seen in all the principal
shops.
Ward has told Spalding that it will be neces-
sary for him CWard) to leave the company
after the first game in England. Ward says
this is made necessary by the state of his per-
sonal affairs. He says he has note due on
Denver property on March 49, and other affairs
requiring his attention. Arrangements have
been made SO that this detection will not inJure
the trip.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A German Drug Clerk Frightfully Butch
cred Witha Hatchet-The Store Was
Robbed, but That is Not the
True Motive of the

True Motive of the
Atrocious Deed.
NEW YORK, March 7.-Gunther Wech-
was struck on the head with an ak early
this morning by an unknown man, who at
tempted to rob the store. Wechrung's
skull was fractured, and he will die. Wech-
rung said he was lying on lounge when
the thief entered, and that when he tried to
prevent the robbery the thief drew the ak
from beneath his coat and struck him down.
Wechrung's hands were almost cut off in
trying to save his head. His assailant has
not been arrested. The store was robbed,
but the police believe that this was done to
avert suspicion as to the real motive of the
crime. Wechrung was not insensible when
discovered, and was removed to the hospital,
where the doctors set to work to try and
bring him to such state that he would be
able to tell something of the crime.
The hatchet with which the deed was
done was new. 1t had an edge five inches
long and handle foot long. The edge of
the steel had been turned by the force of the
blows upon Wechrung's skull. The drug
store is on the ground floor of tenement.
The prescription counter, where the murder
occurred, is concealed from the view of GUS
toners in the store, and at its rear a window
overlooks the yard.
The proprietor of the store was sum-
moned and the dying clerk placed upon the
lounge, where restoratives were admins
tered. His senses were not gone, and when
questioned as to how he had received the
cuts answered slowly and painfully. He
had sat down on the lounge, when the boy
left him, and bent forward to lace his shoes.
While in that position he received blow
on the arm, and in attempting to rise was
struck in the head. Instinctively raising
his hand to ward off the blow, the hatchet,
in the grasp of the butcher, again descended,
and the member was nearly severed. The
clerk then lost consciousness.

A COLD WATER FIGHT.
The Prohibltory Amendment Causes n Lively
Debate in the House = Demo-
cratic Amendments Defeated
fFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. J


Rutan's Position.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
HARRISBURG, March THE debate to-
day on the law to govern the prohibition
election was rendered interesting by the at
tempt OF the Democratic Senators, through
Henninger, of Lehigh county, to fasten an
amendment on it providing for the extern
sion of licenses to their natural limit in case
the amendment should be carried. Senator
Henninger, aided by Senator Ross, of
Bucks, explained that the amendment was
based on the assumption that if the Consti-
tutional amendment were carried it would
wipe out the licenses as well as the liquor
laws.
The interesting features of the debate were
the admission of Senator Cooper that he
would like to submit the high license ques-
tlon along with the prohibition question,
and the assertion of Senator Rutan that if
the sale of liquor was Immediately sbol-
ished the penalties against selling liquor
without a license would remain in force.
This was in answer to declaration of SEN
ator Ross that the passage of the amend
ment by abolishing liquor laws and licenses
and providing no penalties to enforce the
amendment, would produce anarchy.
Senator Green, of Berks, controverted
Senator Rutan's position by pointing out
that the submission resolution provided
that the amendment was to be carried pro-
vided that penalties were 10 be provided in
the future Senator Ross also held that the
penalties to which Senator Rutan referred
were Siamese twins with the license laws
and fell with them.
Senator Newmyer pointed out that the
amendment proposed to the election bill by
the Democrats brought two subjects under
one title, and would render the bill uncon-
stitutional. After great deal of talk the
bill passed finally as amended by Senator
Cooper last night to cover the poll tax
amendment. The House tonight concurred
in this. and Captain Dravo proposed some
amendments correcting clerical errors, which
rendered it necessary Tor the bill to go over.

GETTING DOWN TO WORK.

County League Clubs Preparing for Their
Coming Struggle.
The Riverside Greys don't mean to allow
grass to grow beneath their feet now that they
have been admitted to the County League.
Yesterday they were at Pratt's store in strong
force purchasing stock of bats, and other
articles necessary to play the national game.
They mean to get down to hard practice at
once, and if they don't open the season in good
condition it will not be because of lack of
work.
The balance of the County League clubs are
one by one getting into working order. There
is undoubtedly greater enthusiasm among
the local amateurs this year than there has
ever been.

PItfsburg TnIent In Demand at Butler and
in Ohio.

W. NJ. Gardiner, the well known sporting
man who formerly backed Harry NJ. johnson,
the sprinter, is making efforts to arrange OF
DAYS pedestrian contest at Butler. Yester-
day Mr. Gardner wrote Peter Priddy on the
matter requesting the latter to try and secure
as many Pittsburg entries as possible for the
race. 1t is intended to have the race eight
hours per day, and Mr.. Gardiner denies that
McClelland will be a starter. If matters can
be arranged satisfactorily the contest will take
place in about ten days time.
Henry Pof, the Warren pedestrian, is also
arranging another race to take place in Trum-
bull county, Ohio. Pof lost $50 on his last
venture at Warren, but expects to do better
next time. He wants 25 miles start of Nolan
IN 36-hour raceTor 500 a side. Poff states
that his money is ready at any time.

No Damaging Evidence Turns Up at the
Beef Investigation.
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, March THE committee
to in vestigate, at his own request, the rumor
that Chairman Andrews had handled money
to defeat the dressed beef bill, met tonight
and examined number of newspaper cor
respondents, with the result that the only
thing developed was that there had been ru-
mors which no one could trace to any re-
sponsible source. Representative Brown,
Of Lawrence, was called and stated that the
resolution he had intended to introduce was
framed because of desire to vindicate him
self, with others who had voted their hon
est convictions in opposition to the measure.
He had not been offered money and knew
of no one who had been. The only remark
able part of the proceedings tonight was
the refusal of Mr.. Dohoney, Managing Edi-
tor of the Patriot, to tell who he had heard
talking about the matter.

ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
That is About the Figure England's New
Navy Will Cost.

LONDON, March I'm the House to-day
Lord George Hamilton, First Lord of the
Admiralty. stated that the delay to supply
the navy with guns was due to the failure
of the system of lining. All the ships, he
said, would be supplied by the end of the
present year. He stated that the Govern
ment proposed to build eight frst-class
men-ofwar of 1000 tons each, and two of
5000 tons; nine class cruisers, four of the
Pandora type of cruisers and Is of the
sharpshooter type of torpedo vessels. The
total tonnage Of all these vessels will be
318, 900 and the total cost Ell 800, 900.
Lord George Hamilton asked that a1O,-
100000 be appropriated from the con-
solidated fund for the proposed increase of
the navy, and that the remainder of the
sum required be provided for in the ordi-
nary estimates. He promised. that the
Admiralty's programme would be executed
within four and a half years.

VERY MUCH CONCERNED.
officials of the Local Club Figuring on
Kuehne's Case.

The officials of the local club are much con-
cerned about the difficulty that Kuehne and
probably Morris have gotten into concerning
the charges against them for running a poker
room. Yesterday morning Manager Phillips
and Secretary Scandrett had long converse
and found that the penalty for such offenses is
a fine of $500 and years Imprisonment.
Last evening Manager Phillips stated that
Chief Kirschler is of opinion that the accused
players need not expect to be leniently dealt
with. 1t is understood that there is a warrant
out for the arrest of Morris when he returns
to the city. There is general regret regarding
the unfortunate affair, particularly because of
the possibility of imprisonment.
Manager Phillips is indeed, anxious about
the matter, claiming that every player on the
team has had every inducement to do right.
He met Miller at Harrisburg on Saturday, and
gave George some sensible advice.

lash themselves in the rigging to prevent

prevented the men from lowering the boats

seamen attempted to swim ashore with lines,
but were lost. The vessel grounded 100
