WILD BULL ON BROADWAY.
the Mefropolitans-Forty two Shots
Fired Into the Body.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrspArcH.,


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrspArcH.i
NEW YORK, October 13.-The Sunday
afternoon promenaders in Madison Square
enjoyed the unusual excitement of bull
chase to-day. The bull made its appearance
in the square in front of the Worth monu-
ment at about o'clock. He was big and
red and without horns. and he made an in
slant sensation. The bull had been chased
to the center of the town by Westside
urchins, having escaped from the yards of
Stern Bros slaughter house, il West For
tieth street.
Two steers escaped together and trotted
into Eleventh avenue at Forty-frst street,
where they parted, one going up town and
the other down to Thirty-ninth street,
through which he started toward
Tenth avenue. There was rabble
of boys and girls at the heels of
the steer as he logged along demurely, but
they set up cry of mad bull and pelted the
animal with missiles of all kinds until he
became furious, after long suffering.
At the corner of Broadway and Thirty
ninth street the animal stopped to think,
and then some one tried to lasso him, but
with no success. Then the steer went
on down Broadway, with the bowling mob
at his heels, in appearance much mad
der than the steer at which they were shout
ing. His course was through Madison
square and then back to Eighth avenue.
where, after good deal of excitement and
fusilade from the pistols of the police, the
animal was killed for the sole offense of
having been at large.
Incidentally one man was slightly shot in
the leg and good many persons who might
have been shot weren't by remarkably
good luck. A man went to the
Twentieth street station after the bull was
dead, and told the Sergeant that he had
counted AZ pistol shots that been fred at the
bull, and suggested that the carcass be boiled
down for the lead in it.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
WASHINGTON, October l3-Walter Hewitt
announces to-day that he has had enough of
the baseball business and the fencing. brick
chairs and other material at Capital Park will
be sold at auction next week. 1t is rumored
that he has disposed of his League franchise to
the Brooklyn club, but it is hardly probable
that such q deal has been consummated. The
League magnates are 10th to part company
with Mr.. Hewitt. not only on account of his
general popularity and financial standing, but
because it is desirable to have club located at
League headquarters.
During the past year the Senatorial team has
been constant drain upon the Hewitt estate,
and. as executor of his fathers estate ne does
not feel justified in drawing any further upon
the family treasury for funds to invest in base
ball. He realizes that he cannot attend to his

The Proposed Coalition of the Republicans
and the County Democracy.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, October 13.-The citizens
movement, which Tammany suspects will
serve to combine the strength of the county
Democrats and the Republicans against
her, is taking shape SO definitely
that Wednesday evening has about
been decided upon for the meeting which
will set it before the public. The details of
the movement and especially any talk as to
the candidates it will push, cannot vet be
had. One effect of the citizens
movement that is to be can already be
noted, however, and that is in the Tammanv
talk about candidates. The chance that the
citizens might take up Judge George M.
Vanhoesen, of the Court of Common Pleas.
and Judge Henry A. Gildersleeve, of the
Court of General Sessions, ON their records.
has about determined Tammany to renomi-
nate them so that they and Registrar James
j. Slevin are likely to be named at the
County Convention in the wigwam to-mor-
row.
This will take just so much wind out of
the sails of the citizens movement There
Is diversity OF opinion in the Re-
publican ranks as to the de-
STABILITY of coalition with the
counties There are many Republicans who
value any local advantage that could be
gained very lightly in comparison with the
loss of prestige to the machine that
might follow from combina-
ton. They fear that Federal patron
age might be affected by any infringement
on their patent of regularity" Like the
County Democrats they viii meet in con-
ventionS only after the citizens meeting
is over. But it has been practically decided
that Tammany will 60 ahead and make
nominations Tuesday night.

BOOMING PHELPS.


rsFEcrAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.i
LOUISVILLE October 13.-There is move
ment on foot to supersede Wheeler Wikoff by
Mr.. Zach Phelps, ex-President of the Louis
vile club. The Courter-Journdl Of this morn
ing says:
"a change in the presidency of the American
Association seems to be imperative, and at the
annual meeting President Wikoff will be dis
placed. unless he does as it is thought he will
do take the bull by the horns and resign. Mr..
Zach Phelps, of this city, has been prominently
mentioned for the place. and he can have it If
he says the word The Association will be
made stronger with such man as Zach Phelps
at the helm, and as he is great friend to the
national game and the American Association,
he should not be permitted to stand back when
both the game and the American Association
so urgently need him. Mr.. Phelps thinks that
the duties would interfere with his lucrative
law practice, but this need not be the case If
the Association follows Mr.. Won der Ahe's ad-
vice and establishes the Office of Association
Secratary"

Brief Honeymoon.
HAMILTON, o., October 13.-Despite the
fact that this is busy little city Of nearly
10000 Inhabitants, and one so beautifully
located as to dispel any thoughts Of uncanny
hooks where spirits or spooks might linger,
it is too evident that she boasts Of strange
and unearthly mystery which is located al
most in the heart of the city. This mystery
is the outgrowth of a terrible love tragedy,
which occurred on the reservoir several
years ago. A young man of Hamilton fell
desperately in love with one Of the fair
daughters of the place. His love
was returned, and the twain
were very happy. They were seen in each
others company very often, so that Dame
Rumor was not at fault in reporting that the
two would soon become man and wife. They
were fond of boating, and were often seen
together on the reservoir in their natty
sklH. But that relentless destroyer, con-
sumption, came to play part in this tale
OF love, ard in few months physicians in
formed the young man that his death was
but question of q few weeks. Naturally,
the victim brooded over this very much.
His wife to be was handsome, healthy and
vivaciots. He could not have the heart to
make her widow. He would not do that.
The two took their accustomed boat ride
one beautiful summer evening. They rowed
up to the bridge. Here, so far as could ever
be learned, the young man deliberately shot
his sweetheart through the head and
then put bullet in his own brain.
The young lady did not die imme-
diately, it is thought, and her head
fell over one side Of the boat, her golden
tresses floating in the water. The boat was
caught by an eddy and swung further under
the bridge. A farmer passing over the
bridge about that hour of the evening of the
tragedy says he heard means issuing from
beneath the bridge and looked under il, but
evidently did not see the boat. However,
the boat slowly drifted down to the club
house. A crimson tide followed in its wake,
the life-blood of the fair young girl. The
next morning early the boat with its CHASTITY
burden was found at the clubhouse steps.
The young lover could not live on earth
with his bride. He would take her with
him.
So the bridge means for the dual death.
At eventidc those who may row up the
reservoir can hear the lowmoans as they float
out from meath the bridge. Some say it is
the wind; others that it is the grasses on the
banks shaken by the winds But the moan
ing can be heafd-moaning like human
being in deep agony. 1t is also said that at
times streak Of crimson appears on the
waters surface between the fatal bridge and
the club house. One or two have been so
bold to declare that they have since seen
this phantom boat floating down the stream
with its dead lovers; the young girls golden
locks trailing in the water, and the blood
from the cruel wound flowed back in GRIM
son stream.

The delegates from South and Central Amer

For nearly 1900 miles this country lies along
side the United States, divided only by an i'm
aginary line, often-times by great lakes and
rivers that should be a bond to unite them
rather than a barrier to separate them. Yet
the trade which both countries should enjoy
with each other has been restricted by an arbi-
trary customs line, which may be hkened to
barbed wire fence, over which one brother can
not trade with another brother for bushei of

made of uniform height ana lifted up SO that
it would extend right around the continent,
would result in vast and beneficial conse-

one hand, a welcome installment to the free
trader of an extension Of commerce beyond

system under which marvellous progress has
been made. If, instead of limiting the customs

it should surround, it could also include the
Southern nations represented by the guests
