DISAPPOINTED SPORTS.
The Wheeling Dog Fight Did Not TAX
PIace-Lively Scenes.

The Wheeling Dog Fight Did Not Take
PIace-Lively Scenes.
The big crowd of Pittsburg sports who went
to Wheeling on Saturday to witness the dog
fight between Napoleon Jack and an imported
dog owned by ]. Pembleton, of the Southside,
were sadly disappointed. The battle did not
take place, ana, as result, there was a lively
time among the patrons of the pit. The Pitts
burgers went to Wheeling expecting to witness
a chicken main, a dog fight and a prize fight.
Only the first named took place.
The chicken main turned out to be much
smaller than anticipated, as there were only
six battles between Wheeling and Phillipsburg
birds. -Four of the battles were won by the
Phillipsburg party, and each contest was for
SIS side. The main took place in a rink at
Fulton, near Wheeling.
1t was intended to have the dog fight in the
rink when the main finished, but the crowd,
made up of Wheeling, Steubenville, East Liv-
demonstrative that the owner of the building
refused its use and demanded everybody to
leave. A number of free fights ensued and one
man received a severe cut in the head with a
bottle. The dog fighters then proceeded to a
barn mile and half away from Wheeling.
The promoters of the fight began to charge S2
per head admission to see the battle. After
about so persons had been admitted at this rate
the Wheeling sports broke into the barn in
wholesale fashion. 1t was then deemed unsafe
to have the fight take place, and the owners
and their dogs disappeared with bowling mob
after them.
They returned to Wheeling when a stable
was offered them to fight in private. Kirly, the
owner of Napoleon Jack. declined the offer,
After considerable wrangling Pembleton and
his dog left for home on the o'clock train
Kirly took his dog to Martins Ferry, whereihe
spent yesterday. 1t is likely that the battle
will take place this week. The prize fight was
lost sight of owing to the trouble concerning
the dog fight.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHi
PHILIPsBURG, March 1.-THE Shaw
bill, now before the Legislature, which
proposes to make it compulsory on the part
of coal operators to adopt for use in their
mines q recently contrived apparatus in
tended to detect explosive gases in mines,
has aroused intense indignation among the
coal operators and mine laborers through
out the entire Clear6eld bituminous coal re-
gion. Petitions demonstrating against the
passage of the bill are being extensively circu-
lated and freely signed, and local meetings at
many OF the collieries are held nightly to de
wise means of defeating the measure.
A At largely attended meeting held yester-
day by the operators and miners formal petit
tion was adopted to be presented to the Legis-
lature by committee of operators and mine
laborers. 1t is vigorously set forth in this re-
monstrance that no mechanical contrivance for
the detection of explosive gases in mines can
take the place of constant vigilant personal in
spection, without which such device would
be useless and unnecessary.
1t is estimated that the cost of putting in the
apparatus, its maintenance and the extra ex-
ira expense of a royalty of 2 cents per ton on
all coal mined would aggregate 81, 600, 900 an
nually, and as these heavy charges cannot be
borne by the mine owners it is claimed that
they must either come out of the miners
wages OF out of the pockets of the consumers.
The remonstrance further declares that the
real object of the bill is to foist upon the
mining industries of the State useless, dan
gerous and most expensive patent, for the
profit Of outside interested parties.

PRESIDENT YOUNG's VIEWS.
He Explains Matters About the Players In
SpaldinR's Team.


WASHINGTON, March T.-"None of the
players who have been making the tour of the
world under the supervision of Mr.. Spalding
have been assigned to classes" said President
Young, of the League, land they will be ex.
empt from classification for Is days after their
return to the United States. This rule applies
to John Ward as we'll as his companions, and
the reason for it lies in the fact that it was
adopted after the tourists left this country en-
route to Australia. have been authorized by
Mr.. Day to release Ward to the Washington
management upon his signing contract and
the payment to me of the sum promised by Mr..
Hewitt to the New York's President.
''Should the Sl2 900 for the consummation Of
the deal be paid over to me, it will make up
ward of $4,000 that have passed through my
hands in the past few years for ball players. OF
course this arrangement between Messrs. Day
attempts by the Bostonians to secure Ward, and
that seems to be pretty well understood by
Messrs. Billings, Conant and Soden. Upon the
arrival of Ward in this country, he will be met
at New York by Mr.. Hewitt, who considers
that the wisest course for him to pursue Is to
have a personal consultation with John, and
not conduct negotiations at long range through
the medium of the mails More business can
be transacted in a Is minutes talk than can be
accomplished by written communications in as
many days. Naturally, everything is in abey-
ance pending decision by Ward of this mat
ter, but the indications point very strongly to
his donning a Washington uniform for the
baseball season of 1883"

A WORTHY MOVEMENT.
Efforts Being Made to Organize a Real
Amateur Boat Club.

Efforts Being Made TO Organize a Real
Amateur Boat Club.
Efforts are being made to organize bona fde
amateur boat club in this vicinity. Mr.. ]. ].
Sweeny, who is connected with the DuQuesne
ball club, stated yesterday that several gentle
men interested in aquatics have commenced
movement to accomplish the object named.
The great object is to have an amateur club
that can, without question, put forth the best
local amateur rowers in the national contests.
Several patrons of the scull are eager to have
John Martin and McChesney take part in the
national amateur regatta, and to do this efec-
lively an amateur boat club of influence is
needed.
At present it is hard to find a local boat club
that can technically be called amateurs. The
want of such an organization has been ex-
tremely felt for some time. 1fan organization
of the kind named were established such prom
Using scullers as John Martin would probably
pions of other clubs in the country 1t is also
probable that other good scuIlers would be de-
veloped here, as there are lots of powerful
young men in the neighborhood who desire to
become bona flde amateur scullers
The idea as expressed by Mr.. Sweeneyis to
have all those interested in such an organic
alton meet and form a club independent of and
entirely distinct from any other club in the
city. The proposed club could be formed on
purely amateur principles A step of this kind
would certainly do much toward redeeming the
prestige of acquatlcs here. At present that ex-
cellent branch of sport is under ban, but it is
possible to return it to public favor by the
method mentioned above.

FAITH AND THE ENEMY.
Rev. Father Murphy breaches TO Paraders
at the Cathedral.

Rev. Father Murphy breaches TO Paraders
at the Cathedral.
Rev. John T. Murphy, President of the
Holy Ghost College, of this city, delivered
the sermon at st. Paul's Cathedral last
evening. His text was: This is the victory
that overcometh the world your faith"
Father Murphy's sermon was delivered par
ticularly to the members of the Catholic organ
izations who paraded in honor of st. Patrick
yesterday. In the first part of his discourse he
reviewed Irish history, and spoke of good deeds
done by lrelands patron saint He said that
st. Patrick's Day puts before the minds of
Irishmen the fact that faith was the instru-
ment he bestowed on their fathers as the most
precious of gifts, ], 400 years ago. 1t is faith
that gave aluminary to their lives and true
value to their works. 1t raises them up above
the littleness and misery of their life and files
them in God. 1t reveals to them the greatness
of their destiny. Tells them that they have
been created, not for this world but for the
next, not for themselves, but for God With
out faith mans life, be he ever so talented,
ever so great, ever so powerful, is wasted.
Without faith a man is a victim to the vice
and corruption and consequent delay OF fallen
human nature
them with gloves on his hands, rings on his
fingers, wearing pure linen and broadcloth
with a smile on his lips. He does not openly
attack the faith, but gives it passing nod Of
respect. He finds his way into the sanctuary
of the home. His work becomes easy when he
find the coast clear. He eats his way through
their whole family system, until he has re-
duced it to one rotten mass Of corruption.
Hand down your faith to your children in
tact and unsullied. Whatever else you do for
them nstill the faith with all its teachings and
practices into their every fiber. Teach them to
love it, to stand up for it, and to fight for it if
need be; yea, to die torit. May God and st.
Patrick bless you and yours in this your grave
mission to preserve and propagate our holy
olden faith"
A good many of the reverend gentleman's
hearers construed some of his remarks about
''the enemy" to mean the American Mechanics
order.

The Master Painters to Enforce Theil
Grading Proposition To-Day.

The Master Painters to Enforce Their
Grading Proposition To-day.
Last Saturday was the last day given by
the master painters to the journeymen to
accept the grading proposition. The men
had previously and emphatically declined. to
accept the terms offered, and the result of the
master painters action will not be known until
to-day, when the men present themselves for
work. The men do not believe their en-
ployers are in shape to stand strike, and think
that better arrangement may be made this
week. o.
AS has been stated, the master painters pro-
pose to divide the workers into three classes
and grade, them according to their ability
the first class to receive SS1a cents an hour the
second n cents and the third 20 cents. The
journeym en- painters claim that they cannot be
graded properly and only 20-cent-an-hour men
will be employed.
The master painters state that, under the
present system, an inferior workman receives
as much pay as one who is skilledin his calling,
which is a loss to themselves, an injustice to
their customers and an injury to competent
WOrkmen.

How to Travel Cheaply in ChIpu.


Foreign residents of China apparently
have one valuable resource when they are
threatened with the abuse of hostile mob.
They may sew pigtails in their hats, don
the dress of the country and become Chinese
themselves to some extent, and the result
will have tendency to mollify the passions
of the crowd. Mr.. Horsburg, de scribing
his recent journey 1,5OO miles up the Yang
TIE river, put on Chinese attire, including
the pigtail, and not the least advantage Of
his new costume was the fact that it enabled
him to travel the first 1000 miles for $17,
while the fare for foreigners on the same
boat was $40. Nobody mistook him for q
Chinese, but be seemed to be regarded as an
adopted fellow citizen, entitled to all the
rights and privileges, including cheap liv-
ing of glorious country. We have no
reason to know in our own land that John is
deeply prejudiced in favor of the light and
airy attire he brings over with him.

THE IRISH PROBLEM.
Another Tory Writer Thinks He Has the
Right Solution.

LONDON, March B-Clifford Lloyd writes to
the Times in advocacy of the abolition of the
Irish Lord-Lieutenancy andl Dublin Bureau
cracy, and the granting to Ireland of large
measure of county government, retaining the
police as an Imperial organization and read
1usting taxation. He says that if both parties in
trial there need be no misgiving as to the
result. .a
If home rule is desirable and possible the
scheme will grow of its accord, and this is pref
erable to forcing it upon the people at the risk
of civil war. To settle the Irish question will
need all the talent in both parties, and they
must act together in the matter. Any attempt
by one party to face Incorporation of.the other
will end in failure and perhaps in national dis
aster,

MASKED ROBBERS
Or Something Else Bothering an Eccentric
Ohio Capitalist.

YoUNGsTowN, March 17.-Alexander Lemon,
a wealthy and eccentric old man residing south
of the city, to-day caused the arrest of James
Rumble and Martin Stapleton, both young
men, charging them with robbery. Lemon re-
lated startling story asserting that they had
called at his house wearing masks and after
striking him blow sending two teeth down
his throat, had then gagged and bound him
and carried away small amount of money and
some provisions, and that on the next night
they repeated the performance.
On the accused being brought into his pres
ence to-day the old man weakened, and said it
was case of mistaken identity, and they were
discharged. The officers are inclined to believe
the old man had bad case of nightmare
