THEY CALL 1T A QUIET SABBATH.
The Street Car Strike Results In but One
Riot Yesterday.

Riot Yesterday.
NEW YORK, February 3.-More than the
customary Sabbath quiet prevailed at the
stables of the various car lines to-day. Very
few OF the strikers put in an appearance,
and those who were about on picket duty
were undemonstrative and caused no
trouble. Cars were run on schedule time
on the Third and Fourth avenue roads
during the day and these on the former line
continued all night as usual.
This afternoon a riot occurred in the
neighborhood of Twenty-eighth street,
which point the Twenty-third street cars
pass on their way to the Twenty-fourth
street ferry. A gang of hoodlums gathered
on the street and began throwing stones at
the passing drivers and conductors. This
continued until a crowd of 1000 people,
principally young toughs, collected. Rocks
were placed on the tracks and men stationed
on housetops hurled stones down in the
cars. Many cars were derailed. Next the
gang began dumping garbage and ashes
along the tracks, and lum-
Der yard yielded planks and timbers,
which the crowd showed no hesitation in
were again called out from Captain Ryan's
precinct, and a call for aid made on police
central Office was responded to by Inspector
Byrnes and 20 men, who arrived just as the
crowds took to flight. Some who were most
active in the work of blockading the road
were arrested.
1t is predicted that q general stampede
for their old places will be made by the
strikers tomorrow. Many of the Fourth
avenue drivers and conductors had applied
for and received their old places.

CARROLL Is WANTED.
Manager Phillips Points Out How Fred and
Earle Are Different.

Earle are DlueTG0Is
Manager Phillips is of the opinion that Presi-
dent Storms resolve to allow Earle to remain
with Spalding's teams until April 20 will not
have any great effect in the way of influencing
other clubs to do the same. Speaking on the
matter last evening, Mr.. Phillips said:
"Thereis a big difference between Earle and
Carroll. The former is a catcher. and is catch
ing every day. Carroll is a catcher, but he is
playing first base every day. 1t is easy, there
fore, to understand that Carroll will not be
able to get that amount of practice necessary
for us to have any reliance in him. 1t is only
reasonable to expect that he needs practice
with Morris before the championship season
opens. But what is more important still, we
may find that he can catch Conway, and we
know that Field does well with Morris. We
want to see how changes like these will work
before the pennant struggle opens.
far as Hanlon is concerned" continued
the manager, I'VE cannot force him to come
here until he desires. We have forwarded no
contract to him yet, but merely asked him to
cable his terms to us. However. If he does not
come here until the championship season opens
he cannot expect us to pay him from April l. l
may add that l am somewh surprised at
President Stern's action. Only a few days ago
he stated definitely that he would demand
Earle on April l, or as soon as he landed in this
country
During further conversation Mr.. Phillips
went on to state if President Spalding has to
pay each member of the All-America team his
salary according to what he would receive from
his club, it will cost 5000, and this, together
with expenses, will take a big slice from the
receipts.

pleted with McPhee, Hick Carpenter and Leon
Viau. Only two members of the team Of 1888

Smith. Nc Phee called on President Stern day
before yester day and they were not closeted

standing. McPhee agreed to sign for a certain
consideration. and within "A hours his con-
tract was on its way to Columbus Hick Car
penter called yesterday morning and not much
terms and President Stern told him Just what
he was able to do. Without any unnecessary
delay the old reliable thIrd-baseman affixed his
signature to a Cincinnati contract for 1889.

MUSCLE OR. BRAINS.
The Harvard Faculty Retires Pitcher Bates
From the College.

BOSTON, MASS, February 3.-The Faculty of
Harvard College had a very horny dilemma to
handle this week. 1t was a question as to
whether athletic skill or mental proficiency
was the prerequisite to scholarship in the COL
lege. The case involved was that of Harry
Bates, of Newton, Mass, the popular pitcher of
the college baseball team. Harry, while a hero
among the athletes, was only a probationary
scholar. and in his practice of curves and drops
had failed to secure an acquaintance with his
studies sufficient to carry him through the
final examinations for full admission. The
faculty had been considering his case for a long
time, Withholding his rejection on account of
the pressure brought to bear by the athletic en-
thusiasts who desired to see the crimson PEN
Dant carried triumphant through next sum-
mer's college contests. 1t was a close battle be-
tween muscle and brains, with the chances in
favor Of muscle winning, and Bates being re-
tanned, when, unfortunately, the condition of
affairs got into print. Then the faculty, recog-
MIXING the incongruity of their position, acted
summarily. Bates probation was closed, and
he returned to his home in Newton this after
noon. His absence will certainly be felt in
baseball circles. He improved wonderfully
under Clarkson last year, and showed signs of
still greater improvement this winter. Clark
son will have a good deal of trouble in bringing
out a man who will make even a respectable
showing against Yale or Princeton.

THERE are letters at this office for Ed Swart-
wood and Adam Schnell.
president NIMICK returned from the East
yesterday. He had nothing new to state.
MANAGER PHILLIPS states that if he had
thought he could not get his strongest nina he
would not have contracted for the Western
trip of the club.
THE Sporting Life, in an editorial, urges
League clubs that have players in the Spalding
teams to allow them to play the American
series as arranged.
IF Pittsburg sporting writers are liars" it
would certainly be expected that the Sporting
Times, which publishes the charge, would credit
the many items culled from The PITTSBURG
DISPATCH.
Cal MCCARTHY SAYS, in answer to the
challenges of Eugene Hornbacker and Billy
Weldon, that he is willing to meet either of
them for $50 a side or a purse of $500, at ia
pounds, give or take a pound, weigh at the
ringside. He says he will pay no attention
whatever to challenges for a finish fight under
other conditions regarding weight than those
here stated. Mccarthy and his partner, Billy
Hart, have opened their boxing school at 435
Grove street, Jersey City, and Cal says he can
now keep himself in good condition giving
lessons to his pupils.

A Beautiful Countess Poisons Herself Sim.
ultaneousIy With Rudol1's Suicide.
VIENNA, February 3.-The sensational
news leaked out to-day that a beautiful
young baroness committed suicide by taking
poison at Meyerling at the same time that
the Crown Prince took his life. The two
acts were committed almost simultaneously.
The Crown Princes will contains ~instruc-
tions for the disposal of almost every small
article in his possession. No friend, servant
or acquaintance is forgotten. The most i'm
portant instructions refer to his daughter.
He orders that she be brought up BY the
Emperor and Empress and remain with
them always, especially in the event of
S%tephanie remarrying.
A family council will be held to decide
whether Princess Stephanie shall return to
Belgium. She declares that she loves the
Emperor, her children and the Empire too
much to leave them.
The body of the Crown Prince was re-
moved at $50 tonight to the parish church
where a priest blessed the remains. A
crowd gathered, reverentlv listening to the
chanting of the choir which accompanied
the removal of the body.

A LIVELY MEETING.
The English Government Denounced for Its
Harsh Treatment of O'Brien.

DUBLIN, February 3.-Lord Mayor
Sexton presided at the mass meeting in
Phoenix Park to-day called to denounce the
treatment to which Mr.. O'Brien is subjected
in prison. Mr.. Sexton announced that
a memorial had been signed by
four Archbishops and a majority of the
Bishops Of Ireland calling Upon the Govern
ment to discontinue proceedings which en-
danger Mr.. O'Brien's life and imperil pub
lie peace.
Mesers. Davitt and Healy made violent
speeches to the same effect. Mr.. Edward
Leamy, N. p, urged the boycotting of all
persons who attended the Unionist banquet
on the previous night.
At this banquet Mr.. Balfour ridiculed the
rumor that he would not dare to face the re-
ception of an Irish audience. He said he
hoped it might be his lot on many future
occasions to meet with a reception half so
cordial and enthusiastic. Every substan-
tive part of Mr.. Sections telegram to him
was incorrect. When written to, he wrote
to the Mayor that Mr.. O'Brien was response
BILE for the evils resulting from his non-sub-
mission to the prison regulations.

Z. OF l.. LEGISLATION,
Several Measures in the Interest Of Labor
to be Presented ut This Session.
SIMPSON.

" NC TCbCutC NJ MI ScSSIOus
FROM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, February 3.-The Knights
of Labor Legislative Committee has not vet
got down to work, but will ere long begin
to make itself felt on the legislation of the
present session. There are a number of
reforms which are advocated, but in all
probability the efforts of the committee will
be concentrated on but a few Of them. The
measures that are approved embrace those
regulating the dockage of miners coal,
providing for assistant mine inspectors and
amending the mine ventilation laws. MI.
Barry's bill covering the matter of factory
inspection and the employment of women
and children is one that will proba-
bly, be pushed vigorously. 1t is
one that was considered with pronounced
favor BY the delegates to the recent conven-
ton which appointed the Legislative Com
mittee and which claimed to represent 65,-
600 Knights of Labor in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. There is more than one
anti-pluck-me-store bill before the Legisla-
ture, and the pluck-me-stores are the pet
aversion of the Knights. 1t is safe to say
that the best features of the existing bills
VIII be consolidated into one measure and
made an issue. The employers liability
act and the prison contract labor system are
things that true Knights are also deeply
interested in, while the attachment of a
penalty to the semi-monthly pay bill, so
that it may be enforced, is a measure that
meets with unqualified approval.
Which of these measures the fighting
powers Of the Knights of Labor will be con-
centrated on will probably be decided upon
soon after the committee next meets. The
committee will keep the different knights
of Labor assemblies of the State thoroughly
advised by circular and otherwise of their
work, and the committee will be the only
authorized organ of the order at the State
capital. When it moves it represents the
power of the Knights of Labor, which will
doubtless be kept thoroughly advised of the
position of all members OF the House and
Senate on matters affecting them.

BOST0N'S VERSION.
Another Story ms TO That Fight Between
Dunlap and Carroll.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE DISPATCH!
BOSTON, February 3.-There have been a
great many stories told of the alteration be-
tween Dunlap and Carroll of the Pittsburgers,
which occurred in the dressing room of that
club during the last season. and none of them
came anywhere near the truth. Most Of these
stories have been based upon mere rumor. An
eve witness of the transaction says that the
fracus was the result of an argument relative to
sacrifice hitting. 1t seems that during a game
the day previous, while one of the P%ittsburg
players was at the bat, he attempted to make
a sacrifice hit, but sent the bail too far, and it
went into the right field, where Fogarty, of the
Philadelphia, made a fine running catch,
thereby preventing scoring.
Dunlap brought up the matter in the dressing
room. and said that if he had been at the bat
he would have sacrificed and brought in q run.
Thereupon Carroll spoke up and said that the
player did try 20 sacrifice. Dunlap said that it
was no such thing. Carroll then said il was a
die. The two mel then began to call each
other hard names. Dunlap took the oppor-
tunity, while Carroll was looking away, to give
him a blow on the nose that started the blood.
Carroll, wholly dazed and taken nawares,
rushed at Dunlap, aad the two men clinched,
and fought from the dressing room to the
washroom. Here they were separated, COM
pletely covered with the blood that poured
from Carrolrs nose. They presented a pitiful
spectacle. IL is said that the men do not speak
TO each other to this day. All who know any
thing about the affair bear testimony to the
fact that Carroll was right in his argument and
the attack upon him was wholly unjustifable.

A BREWERY BURNED.
The Anheuser-B Busch Warehouses Damaged
to the Amount of $500, 900.

to the Amount of $500, 900. =
ST. LOUIS, February 3.-About 9 o'clock
this morning fire was discovered in the up
per part of one of the great storage ware
houses of the Anheuser-Busch Brew
ing Association, situated at Ninth
street and Pestalozzi street, and in a
few minutes later a tremendous explosion
took place, and the north wall of the ware
house, 80 feet long and 500 feet high, was
thrown down with a great crash OF the
iron and glass roof of the depot
building adjoining, crushing the build
ing and covering its contents with
debris. Immediately afterward the inside
framework of the warehouse and nearly
200, 900 bushels of barley and malt, which
it contained, were enveloped in flames, and
for two or three hours the entire establish
ment was In great jeopardy.
The fire was brought under control, how
ever, about noon, but the service of several
engines have been necessary since that time,
and tonight a part Of the fire department
has been hard at work to keep it under
control. The remaining walls Of the ware
house are in danger of falling, but every
effort is being made to prevent further
damage. The loss so far is estimated at
1920, 900, which is covered by insurance on
the whole property.

Reward for the Perpetrators.

In Arkansas Denounced In the Legislature
AReward for the Perpetrators.
ST. LOUIS, February 3.-Dispatches
from Little Rock, Ark, say there was an
exciting scene in the Legislature yesterday
over a joint resolution introduced by Mr..
Jones, of Nevada county, requesting the
Governor to offer a reward of $500 for the
arrest and conviction of the thieves who
broke into the vault of Pulaski county and
stole ballot boxes and poll books immed-
lately after the State election in September
last.
The resolution was vigorously opposed by
some and ridiculed by Mr.. Gordon, who
moved to substitute % cents for $500. Dur
ing the debate Speaker Hudgins left the
chair and spoke an hour in favor of the res
o~lution. He denounced in the most en-
phatic manner ballot robberies in general,
and the Pulaski county robbery in particular,
scored the grand jury for failing to report
on the matter, and handled the whole sub
ject with bare knuckles. The resolution
was adopted by a large majority.

IN THE INTEREST OF GREAT REFORMS
Difference Of Opinion in the Legislative Apportionment

1t now appears tina: Allegheny City must
either content itself with being a third-class
municipality or accept the charter govern
ing Pittsburg. AIlegheny's opposition to
the latter curse of action has not crys-
tallized at Harrisburg. The knights of
Labor are prepared to take a hand in the
law-making this session, and propose to
make it very uncomfortable for those men,
bers who fail to vote for the interest of
labor. The possibility of the passage of a
legislative apportionment bill before the
next census is fast becoming an improba-
bility.

LONDON, February st is stated that
Sir Julian Pauncefote, Permanent Under
Secretary of State for the Foreign Office,
has been appointed British Minister to the
United States. Although the report is not
officially confirmed, it is credited at the
Foreign Office.
The appointment is creating intense irri-
tation in British diplomatic circles as a
departure from the rule of succession in ap-
pointments according to rank in the ser
vice.
Sir Julian is lawyer, not a diplomat,
and was never attached to any embassy.
He was appointed to his present post on &C
count Of his extensive knowledge of the
legal bearings of the treaties. As his
present salary is only $4,000 year
ly, the new appointment is a
desirable one, the salary of the Minister at
Washington being $4,000. Sir Julian
Pauncefote married Miss Selma Cubitt,
daughter of the late Major Cubitt, and has
a family. Among officials he has a reputa-
ton for shrewdness. He has quiet, anna
BILE manners, allied with much shrewdness.
