guilty to voluntary manslaughter,
and he was sentenced to be con-

was the only one Of the Wheeling party
who was injured. 1t was when he was
knocked down and was being beaten by
the ill,iaYored gang OF oil men who
brought on the fight that his comrades
came to the rescue and beat OIL his
assailants. It was at this time the shot
was fired that caused the homicide for
which four men were tried, ShRtFer was
seriously hurt, but finally recovered
from his injuries, While his friends in
Wheeling hoped for his acquittal, they
were pleased to learn that the court tenn
pered the sentence with lenlency,
There were five persons in the party

1t Is reported in various newspapers
that Jack Glasscock, Of this city, the In.
dianapolis shortstop, has been placed in
class O." at n salary Of s. 900, and has
been offered 81 900 additional to manage
the club. There is no doubt that G lass.
cock does not object to the salary, but
he does object to DO classed solow, when
for years he has been one OF the leading
players in that position in the league,
Last season he played SO hard for his
club that he gained the reputation Of
Jack the Ruliian on account Of the many
base runners he injured, whether acCi-
dentally or on purpose only GlasscoCk
himself can answer. Taking an ex.
tremely charitable view, GldsscoCk at
all times showed n reckless disregard for
the life and limb or runners either max.
ing for or playing off second base. 1t
may be that this same carelessness Is tue
result OF his being placed so low on the
list. Certain 1t Is that he is no record
player, but his ability To cover ground is
beyond all dispute. II this bearing pro.
cess Is intended as punishment for ruff
Ganly conduct on the field, Mr., Young's
action will be Endorsed by all fair.mind-
ed lovers OF the sport; otherwise there
Is no way Of justiiying 1t. The Indian.

his being rated n number one.

The Advent of SprtnR

Weather that could receive any more
compliments than that of the past few
days would feel highly Hattered to be
sure. Spring is 40 longer thing OF the
future. but OF the present. Strains from
the grand overture were heard yesterday +,
aud 30 unmistskable was the advent that
Rock Island welcomed the first inspiring
breath OF spring with open doors last
evening and the fire place would have
been banked with flowers were they now
blooming. To add TO the glad auspices
of the hour, large focks of geese were
seen sailing through the blue armament,
in bee line for the north aud filling the
air with their trumpetings. The mercury
stayed above the freezing point all night,
and the softest of southern breezes at
tended the dawn of today. New birds
were singing gaily and general chorus
OF spring Growing and cackling came
day that has followed has been full -orbed
with spring beauty and everybody has
felt that spring was here to stay. There
will be March weather OF course. when
the fires will have to be lighted, and the
birds may have TO wear red flannel about
their necks, and some of the days will be
almost uncomfortable from the clustering
storm; but there can be no bOubt OF the
seal that spring has set upon the season.

legal holiday; another.proposed bill makes
the penalty for seduction $1,000 fine
and one years imprisonment. A
resolution was offered sending greet
