MT. Walker Accepts the Chairmanship Of
the Interstate Association.
CHICAGO, March 12-Aldace +. Walker
has finally accepted the craftsmanship of
the Interstate-commerce Railway Associa-
ton. Mr. Walker arrived in Chicago from
Washington this morning. He was not
present when the presidents who signed the
association agreement assembled at the
headquarters of the organization. Marvin
Hughitt, of the Chicago & Northwestern,
presided over the gathering, and, as chair
man of the committee appointed to wait
upon Mr.. Walker, reported the result of q
conference held with that gentle
man on March 2. 1t appeared from
MIR. Hughitt's report that MIR.
Walker was willing to accept the offer
of S25, 900 year as chairman of the associa-
ton, guaranteed for a term of three years.
The meeting acted favorably upon the re-
port, and the commissioner was declared
chairman of the executive board of the
new association. Mr.. Walker attended the
subsequent proceedings of the meeting,
which were largely informal. In an inter
view afterward he said he would enter
upon the discharge of his duties in about
three weeks, meanwhile closing up his bus
mess in connection with the Interstate
Commission. He will remove his family to
Chicago. and make this city his home for
an indefinite period.

Notes OF PLAYERS.

Manager Bancroft Will be here about the
middle of next week.
President Bush left yesterday for Utica,
n. Y, on private business, but will be back
at his post on Saturday.
The Pittsburg club according to rumor.
would like to sell the release of John Cole
man to Indianapolis. He is right fielder,
but has a bad arm and would like to play
first base.
The Ladies' Social Circle of the First Bap-
fist Church will meet with Mrs. Butler, at
No. 402 North Delaware street to-day.
Miss Helen Stanton will give talk on
what Redemption Cost Heaven"
If the indianapolis management has any
money to invest in new players, q reason
able amount might be well placed in the
purchase of Jim White. He would be a
very valuable man for the Hoosiers.
Harry Lyons, of last seasons champion
st. Louis Browns has received his uncOndi-
tional release, which he has been persist
emily endeavoring to obtain all winter. He
has not yet accepted any engagement for
the coming season.
Seery. who is regular bat fiend, has al
ready given a local firm an order for half
dozen sticks to be made especially for the
little left fielder. They will be made of
four different kinds of wood, and weigh
thirty-six ounces each.
Sam w. Barley, the second baseman. has
written to President Brush asking for a
place on the HoOsier team. Barley is under
reserve to Kansas City, but it is not likely
that he will play there next season. He is
a good fielder and a fair batter, but the
local club has no place for him, and it is
not probable that any effort will be made
to secure his services

AFTER THE BATTLE
Comes Peace and Quiet.
The Struggle was Long and Severe. but the
Relief Came Speedily and Sure-Mr.
Splann's Statement.

Mr.. William Splann. the subject of this
sketch, is sober industrious young man,
of perhaps twenty-one years of age. He re-
sides at No 50 Southwest street, where he
has lived for some time. The writer in a
recent interview obtained from Mr.. Splann
the following facts which will be of inter-
est to many of our readers. Il scarcely

PENNSYLVANIA Stockholders.

PHILADELPHIA, March 12.--The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Penn
sylvauia Railroad Company was held to-
day, and goes on record as the shortest
known in the history or the company. In
exactly seven minutes from the time the
chairman announced the meeting open for
business, he announced that it had adj
journed. There was no speech and no ques-
tion was asked, and only the customary
resolutions offered. The attendance was
small. w. E. Lockwood, who spoke for the
English stockholders, and who generally
breaks the monotony of the annual meet
ings by long series of questions and many
speeches, was silent today. A committee
of stockholders, after consultation with
the president, will nominate board of di-
rectOrs to be elected two weeks hence.

The law passed by the Legislature that
has just adjourned which contemplated
the establishment of orphans homes by
county commissioners is likely to be in:
validated by defect in its construction.
The bill, introduced by Representative
Hess, is known as House bill No. 1876. 1t is
entitled an act to amend Section l of
an act entitled IAN act to authorize
county commissioners to provide by
purchase suitable asylums for the use and
occupancy of children who are properly
charges upon the counties and for their
support and seeks to amend Sec. 3511 of
the Revised Statutes in force March l, 1881,
and amended by an act of 1885. 1t is thought
that the law as it stands is an amendment
to a section which does not exist. The Su-
preme Court. in the case of Feibleman VS..
State, IS Ind, says: 1T is also well set
tied that an act of the Legislature which
attempts to amend a section Of the statute
which has already been amended is uncon-
stitutional and void"

The Summer Park Project.

Arrangements to put the Ritzinger tract
south of the arsenal grounds into condition
as summer park, under the control of the
Y. NJ. c. A, are progressing favorably. Es-
Inmates for fencing the enclosure have
already been received and levels will be
made to-day to determine what amount of
grading, filling and excavating will be nee
essary for the base ball, tennis and bicycle
grounds and swimming pool. 1t is the in
tentiOn of the managers to interest patrons
of all classes of athletic sports, and
the committee would be glad to
have suggestions from any one who
has special interest in any particular
variety. 1t is proposed to have a range for
the target shooters and a trap ground for
the clay-pigeon people, and the archery
folks will be looked after: A set of bowling
alleys is also in contemplation, and with
every interest represented the plan ought
to have the hearty support of everybody
interested in athletics as well as those who
would like to have pleasant summer re-
sort within easy reach and under safe and
careful control

school funds by the late Legislature. Some
of the counties, having few saloons from
which to get revenue through license, and
no large towns have had trouble
in keeping the schools open half
the year, even with the aver
age wages of teachers at $1.2O a day,
and these, it is claimed. will be still further
crippled by the change in the law. The
passage of the bill increasing the limit of
the local tax 1evies, was counted on to
cOunterbalance the reduction of interest,
but the bill failed to receive attention in
the closing hours of the Legislature.
