NEW YORK, January lathe fact that Tim
Keefe has not yet signed to pitch for the
Giants next season has caused considerable
talk of late, although the opinion prevails that
he will be on hand when needed. AT present
he is busy establishing a sporting goods en-
porium in this city, and is naturally independ-
ent. Another cause for this independence, it
is said is the sudden increase in value of some
property owned by Tim at Cambridge, Mass
A few years ago, so the story runs Keefe in
vested in plot of land near the grounds of
Harvard College, paying for it a small price,
Recently the town officials of Cambridge de-
cided to erect public library, and selected as
a site for it the ground owned by Tim. The
latter heard of these plans, and when offered a
fair price for the property refused the offer
He has refused several others since the last
being $4,000 Tim, 1t is said, holds off for
$4,000, and is confident of obtaining that sum.

Contest Between Girls.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK, January 14.-The flower of
large family in Saco, Me-, is mighty
pretty girl with an oval face and aluxurfant
growth of jet black hair. She is OF slim
figure, with small hands and feet, a
prominent nose and liberal mouth and
chin. Her eyes are of the blackest.
At an early age this young women had a
hankering for masculine pursuits. The
toll that men kicked at she did as a
happy release from household labor. When
she was very tired she used to rest her
self by saving lot of wood, and this way
of passing her time gained such hold upon
her finally that it wasn't safe for her parents
to leave anything lying around that could
be sawed. The bigger the log and the
tougher, the better she liked it.
Now the dime museum has got her and
started troupe of female wood sawyers in
an alleged contest. They made their first
platform in the center of the second floor,
between the tattooed lady and
the fat man OH one end
and the giant skeleton and the man with
rubber feet on the other. Every one of the
girls is decidedly pretty. In front of each
of them was red sawbuck and bucksaw,
and on each one of the bucks
rested stick of pine wood.
Eight or nine times day,
according to the demands of the public,
these young women sawed off of the end of
the stick of wood. The one severing the
piece off first won. Miss Saco won several
times to-day and lost twice. The lady win
ming the match will receive at the close of
her engagement $500. Tne next will havea
gold watch and chain.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.1
HARRISBURG, January 14.-State Lii
brarian Egle, in his annual report, pro-
tests against the conditions which
makes the State Library circulating
library" In the selection of books,
so-called eight literature" has been es-
chewed, while works referring to the late
War of the Rebellion and of historical and
genealogical character have been added.
The Librarian recommends the purchase of
complete files of the State newspapers, and
asks an appropriation to enable him to SUBJ
scribe for them.
"What may be considered waste to-day"
he remarks in this connection, 'nlay be
gold tomorrow. Exchanges with the differ
ent States and Territories and with foreign
countries have been effected. Several thou
sand volumes are badly in need of binding,
but only 200 have been bound
for the reason that the State Binder
refuses to supply binding at 15 cents
a volume when the actual cost to him is 60
or 20 cents. He claims that in his contract ne
made no calculation for rebinding the books
in the library. There should be a special
appropriation. Catalogues are badly needed,
the last one having been made II years ago.
Reference is made to the crowded condition
of the library, and increased accommoda-
tions are asked for.
A complete classification in detail of the
books has proved an impossible task to
complete in II months, but general CLASH
fcation of the library shows 100000 vol
umes, of which number 5000 volumes have
been added during the past year.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, January 14.-Yes-
terday and to-day have been days of excite
ment at Pratt Mines. On Saturday an un-

lonely spot near the mines and killed her
little boy, who was with her. Since then the
whole population has been In ferment and
the male citizens have been busy search
ing for the criminal. Many negroes have
been arrested on suspicion and taken to
Mrs. Kellum for Identification, but until
to-day she answered in every case: "Not
the man."
One was brought in to-day, however, at
sight of whom she threw up her hands and
exclaimed in terror: "Take him away; he
is the man." On recovering herself, how
ever, she expressed some uncertainty, and,
at her request, the lynching has been post
poned until tomorrow, when Mrs. Kellum
will have had time to recover from the
shock. If she then deliberately
identifies him. the man, whose
name is George Meadows, will have short
shrift.
Tonight he is guarded at Mines by 20
armed citizens, whose instructions from the
crowd who had him in charge to-day are
that if any military or sherif's posse come
to take him away, to swing him up before
he can be rescued. The Sheriff sent deputies
there to-day, who found the crowd quiet,
waiting for the verdict of Mrs. Kellum. The
Coroner was still investigating the case

The continued blessing of peace are shown
in gratifying manner by the improved
economic situation of artisans.
The financial position of the country is
satisfactory. An increase of 200, ,000,000
marks in the savings banks has proved
that trade has improved. The satisfac-
tory character of the finances has enabled

matics at Annapolis, had but two
hours notice to join the Yantic. A short
time before he had been ordered to the
Asiatic squadron. Once before, while with
the Darien expedition, he had the chagres
fever.

which had resided in Brooklyn, returned to
this city. He was graduated from the
Polytechnic Institute, and in 1868
went to the United States Naval Academy.

folk, Va. His is the second death on the
Yantic from yellow fever. The other two
patients are recovering.

DOVER, DEL, January 4.-To-day was
the time fixed for caucusing for the nomina-
ton for Senator All the politicians in the
State, irrespective of party, are here to take
a hand in the contest. Early in the day
dispatches were received from NJ. S. Quay,
w. w. Dudley. and other prominent Re
publicans, urging the Republican members
to come to decision this evening, and i'm
pressing upon the members the gravity of
the situation.
Treat replied to Quay, and agreed to go
out of the fight if his candidacy would in
the end prevent a choice. The other can
didates all urged upon the men,
bers the necessity of coming to an
agreement before adjournment. The
balloting. commenced shortly after o'clock
this evening in the hall of the State House
of Representatives.. r. A. Davis was Sc
lected as Chairman of the caucus,
and 81. b. Morgan Secretary. Repre-
sentative Downham, of Sussex county,
made motion shortly after entering into
caucus that the members pledge themselves
standing to support the successful nominee
of the caucus. He referred to
attempts that had been exposed dur
ing the day by which the Democrats
had attempted to purchase two Republican
members and the repeatedly asserted fact
by several of the members that they would
not support certain candidates.
The motion was carried and balloting was
begun at once, without any nomination for
candidates. The stubborness of the fight
can no better be illustrated than by the
numerous ballots that were taken
and the persistency with which the men,
bers cling to their favorites. The first
ballot resulted: Treat, g. Massey, 5; Smithers,
8; Higgins, 1, and Lafand, The second
was the same On the third ballot one vote
was cast for j. L. Willis, and Lafand lost
one From the third until the seventh
ballot it stood: Treat, 6; Massey, 6; Hig-
gins, 2, and Smithers, 3.
A recess was taken at the end of the sixth
ballot, to allow Kent county delegates to re-
tire. The seventh ballot resulted: Massey
6, Higgins 2, Treat 5 and Smithers 8. This
continued until the twentieth ballot, at 10: 80

A SUNDAY EVENING PARTY.
Senator Palmer Entertains a Number of
Friends on the Sabbath.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsfATCH.1
WASHINGTON, January 14.-It was not
generally known last evening that Senator
Palmer, of Michigan, had repeated his
ofense of last year, of giving fashionable
dinner party on Sunday evening. The
table was laid for IS covers. The table
linen was covered with squares of Irish
hand-woven linen, the edges being beauti-
fully wrought with drawn work and en-
broidered with yellow floss silk. Yellow
tapers burned in tall silver candelabra,
shaded with yellow silk. A mound of La
France and Marechal Neil roses was in the
center Of the table, and knots of violets were
in each finger bowl. The napkins were
formed into bishops miters, and in the top
of each was placed roll.
The list of guests was almost wholly con-
fined to Michigan friends, among whom
were Postmaster General and Mrs Dickin-
son. Outsiders were Justice Lamar, Senator
and Mrs. Manderson and General Greeley,
Chief of the Signal Service. After the din
ner there were large accessions to the COM
pany of persons invited to hear selections
from the best classical music by number of
noted amateurs. 1t is expected that the ex-
ample of the Senator will be followed by a
number of fashionable people OF liberal
views who desire to set an example which
will tend to iberalize the orthodox Sunday.
