Dwarf Japanese Trees.

One of the very interesting things
seen at the Paris exposition were the
dwarf trees which the Japanese horti-
culturists are showing, and which are
attracting much attention. Pines,
thuies, and cedars, said to be 100 or 15O
years old. are only eighteen inches high.
and with such specimens it would be
easy to have . coniferous forest on a
balcony. These arboreal deformities
are produced by great labor. and if the
truth is told about their ages this work
Of arresting the trees development and
forcing it into oontorted forms, must
be persisted in by several generations
Of, foresters. All this painstaking is
hardly paid for by the beauty of the
resulting abortions. but a look at these
trees will explain where the fantattic
forms come from which serve as models
for the plants we see on the lacquered
trays, brOnzes. and embroideries which
come from Japan.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, October 17.-This afternoon
Inspector Byrnes' detectives arrested Peter
Boult. He is an Englishman of good
family and excellent education, and
is said to be a cousin of the late
General Henry Hincks, who died several
years ago in Canada of smallpox caught
from his valet. He is also said to be a
brother of the Rev. Samuel Boult, of the
Mariners Church. Boult, under the name of
Clark, served five years sentence in Sing
Sing for forgery, and was released on
Wednesday. Among the convicts Boult
met at Sing Sing was George Wolfe, and a
friendship sprung up between them. Wolfe
frequently wrote to mis- two sisters
about Boult, and praised him for his kind
ness toward himself. He spoke to Boult
also about his sisters, one of whom was mar
ried to railroad engineer. The other was
single.
One day both sisters came to. the prison to
see their brother and met Boult. The latter
made a good impression on Miss
Wolfe, and after repeated visits,
during which he told her that he
was innocent of the crime charged against
him, he proposed marriage to her and she
accepted him. Miss Wolfe believed in
him, but ner sister was doubtful and
warned her Finally both went to
the Rev. Samuel Boult, and inquired of
him as to the facts. He told them, accord
ing to Miss Wolfe, that his brother was
married, and that he knew of no divorce
proceedings. Boult's rearrest was to pre-
vent possible bigamy.

PLAYING GOOD BALL.
Beatin Pitches a Great Game, Shutting the
Cincinnati Team Out.

Cincinnati Team Out.
CLEVELAND, October 17-Beatin pitched a
marvelously good game to-day and Clncinnatis'
red legs got only two hits off his delivery He was
brilliantly supported. The Clncinnatis have lost
none of their time dash and vigor, and play an
exceedingly pretty game in the field. Viau was
in the box for the reds and was hit hard and
often through the game. That same puzzling
drop and wide sweeping out-curve that fooled
the Cleveland batters of 'SS was not so effective.
He was supported by Earle and Tony Mullane
held down the first station in place of Reilly.
With two men out Mexican got pretty three
base hit in the first inning but Twitchell
could not get him in. In the second Gllks
led of with pretty line drive to right field
and Beard made a phenomenal one-handed
catch of Faatz's liner. McAleer's sacrifice
sent Dilkes to second, and he scored on Sut-
cliffes hard drive to center. In the fourth
Faatz few out to Beard, and McAleer got first
on Boards pass of his ground hit He stole
second and scored on Sutcliffe's red hot drive
toward right center. McAleer's single. Sut-
cliffes third single and Radford's hard ground
hit gave Cleveland another run in the sixth.
With two men out in the eighth Beatin got his
base on balls, and hits by Radford and Stricken
sent him home Nicol got as far as third for
the Reds In the fifth on his two-base hit and
pretty steal and that was as close as Cincinnati
got to a run. The score:

pLUCkY JOHNNY M'TIGHE.
He Had a Desperate Struggle with Tom
Moran..The Latter Tried to ShooI--
McTfzhe's Neck Lncerated.

4Cs@A
an..The Latter Tried to shooI--
nIcTighe's Neck Lncerated.
About II O'Clock last night, just as Fifth
avenue was crowded with people leaving
the theaters. Detective John McTighe
noticed Thomas Moran, a notorious pick
pocket, going through the crowd in front Of
No. 102 Fifth avenue. Inspector McAleese,
Assistant Superintendent O'Mara and Cap
tain Silvus, were standing near at the time
and when Moran saw them he lodged into q
hallway.
He darted up the stairs to billiard room
over No. 100. McTighe followed him and
lust as Moran entered the door of the billiard
room the detectives hand was on his collar.
Moran being the larger man at once showed
fight. but as McTighe dragged him to
the stairway, he managed to get a
hold on the detective and threw
him on the stairs. McTighe pluckilv held
on, however, and hard fought struggle
ensued for about minute. Moran reached
around and began tugging to get the detec-
tive's revolver out of his pocket. McTighe
then released his hold on Moran, and him
self drew the revolver, striking Moran a
heavy blow over the eye with it. Moran
then caught hold Of the revolver also, and a
struggle for possession of the weapon en-
sued. Moran. however, having the best Of
the fight by reason of his size, was grad
ually overcoming the detective and had
seized him by the back of the neck with his
teeth, when McTighe gave yell which
caused McAleese, O'Mara and Silyus. who
had been standing at the corner and knew
nothing about what was going on, to 60 to
the rescue.
The officers rushed up and quickly over
powered Moran, who was then conveyed to
the Central station. Neither he nor the
detective were much hurt during the scrim-
mage, but the police officials say that if
Moran had secured the revolver the tale
would probably have been different, as he is
regarded as a desperate character.
There have been number of pockets
picked at the Exposition and in crowds on
the streets lately, and it is believed that
Moran has had something to do with them.
McTighe has been shadowing him for sew
eral nights in the hope of catching him in
the act but failed until last night. Moran
was arrested for pocket picking by Roger
O'Mara, at Milwaukee, during the G. A.
R. encampment and has but recently re-
turned to his home in Allegheny.

BIG BILLIARD TOURNEY.
Negotiations Going on for Grent Interna.
tionaI Affair.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPAfoH.I
NEW YORK. October 1.-THE news of the
negotiations between George SlossoD, of this
country, and Hugh Collender, in Paris. to bring
about big international meeting of the billiard
stars, made sensation in billiard circles and
has started all the professional cracks at prac-
tice play. Maurice DAILY said that he believed
that the negotiations for the tourney would be
crowned with success finally. 1t is his idea that
it would be more profitable for the professional
experts to begin the international Journeys on
the other side of the water, however.
There is good deal of curiosity among bill
lizard lovers here to learn the identity of Beaux,
who knocked Carter off his pins so handsomely.
Daily is inclined to think that he is the young
German who was champion of Berlin when
DAILY was abroad two years ago. He says that
if Beaux is the same man, then he is a natural
player and dandy.
There is a lot of correspondence going on
about the international tournament and news
is expected from Mr.. COllender in a few days
about the progress of the negotiations. Incl
dentally things are getting red hot around
Slosson's headquarters on Broadway over the
latter's latest manifesto addressed to Schaefer.
Slosson practices day and night to keep him
self in trim for battle Of the cues.

BASEBALL FINANCES.
Secretary Scandrert Shows Where Brother
hood Figuring is Wrong.

In talking of the Brotherhood notions of
League profits yesterday afternoon Secretary
Scandrett said:
NOW the case of the Washington club ought
to convince the Brotherhood leaders that there
is not SO much money in baseball as they would
have the public believe. Mr.. Hewitt is un-
dOubtedly losing money, ana deems it only fair
to his relatives to cease using up the estate of
his late father in any such way. Probably Mr..
Hewitt will be inclined to remain with the
club if any other business man or men
will buy part of its stock. l am
informed that he has offered to
sell half of the club to see if he can get any
enpartners. So far there has been no response.
Does not this show that there is less capital to
be invested in baseball than the players seem
to imagine. If money cannot he had to invest
in club already organized and with excellent
grounds, where is the money to come from to
organize newiclub and fit up new grounds?
"The way in which players talk about the
profits of ball clubs is absurd. estimate that
Boston clears $50, U00 New York $50 600 Chicago
$4,000 and Philadelphia about $4,000 The
other clubs, on an average, are losers. Well,
then, the profits named make a total of $780, 600.
Messrs. Ward, keefe and others may know all
about playing ball, but depend upon it they
have little idea of the financial department of
the club, and that is the most vital after all"

A committee of the employees Of the Citi-

with the Executive Board of the X. Of L.
yesterday evening. They complained that
a man on being discharged was not afforded
an opportunity of hearing the evidence
which caused his dismissal. -Four men
had been so dispensed with. Two con-
ductors were accused of not registering
their fares, and were told at the
hearing, it was said, that the company had
evidence of the fact, and deemed it sufi-
cient. Another grievance brought up was
the rule compelling employees to pay SIT 80

chase them much cheaper.
It is understood that the z. Of L. officials
will confer with President Holmes, and il
the employees are not given some satisfaction

Freddie Gebhard in Danger of Expulsion
From Ono of His Clubs.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
NEW YORK. October 16.-There is sound
and eminent authority for the statement
that at the November meeting of
the Manhattan Club the Governors
will read the, riot act. The House
Committee has preferred charges before
the Governors of improper and unbe-
coming conduct against Fred Gebhard, Lily
Langtry's manager. Mr.. Gebhard, accord
ing to the papers submitted to the
Governors, has been guilty Of con-
duct 'prejudicial to the honor
of the club" This consisted. according to
these same papers, of bringing into the
club George Work. son of Frank Work, in
a condition outrageously obnoxious to other
members of the club.
The offended members complained to the
House Committee, and Mr.. Gebhard will be
hauled up before the Governors to answer
at their next meeting, November IA.
