Court; Charles r. Fitzgerald. Jack Rowe and
Deacon Jim" White
Jack Rowe said yesterday that the prospects
Of a successful season were very bright in
Buffalo, and he believed the League would
] revoluuonize the baseball business by making
it more popular and avoiding many of the mis-
takes of the old magnates in their treatment of
players. Mr.. Rowe expects that 25-cent ad-
missions will be allowed for Buffalo; but that
will not be determined until the March sched-
ule meeting. Buffalo is great 25-cent city
Wilmot's desertion of the Players League
has caused some comment here, for he was
wanted by the Buffalo club. Rowe does not
believe his statement that he wrote three times

receiving a reply, for Ward would have mott
fed Rowe. who would have gladly advanced
the money. 1T is a very lame excuse any,

DISCOVERED By A CHILD.
That FrightfuI Butchery In Niles HOme
Partly Explained.


NILES, o., December 23.-In addition To
particulars of the Shelar tragedy, sent
earlier, the following is learned. Kittie
Meeker, little sister of the mur-
dered woman, caused the discov-
cry of the tragedy. She went to
the house to deliver the evenings milk, as
usual, and was unable to gain admittance
to the house. Charles Mossman was in the
vicinity and she told him about it. He
went with her to the rear of the house, and,
finding door open, entered.
The first floor Of the house was deserted,
but a terrible sight met their eyes in the
second story. The dead baby was on the
floor of one room, two murdered child
ren with gaping, bloody throats lay
in their bed in another chamber, while the
murderer and his wife were clasped in the
embrace Of bloody death on their own
couch.
It appeared that the wife was the first
victim, and that she made desperate fight
fol-. life. The broken handle Of the razor
was found by her side. Then be
went % the room where the l8-months-old
girl lay and nearly severed her head from
her body. Then came the bloody slaughter
of the, girls, aged and 7 years. The mur-
derer then apparently. took lamp, went to a
mirror. deliberately cut his own throat, and
staggering to where his wife lay, threw
himself upoa her body.

Mclaughlin as a Trainer.

Talking of jockeys who have been great but
are on the point of retiring we are reminded of
the fact that McLaughlin's engagement with
Mr.. P. Lorillard begins with the new year.
Among many people we find an impression that
Mclaughlin will not get along at MIR. Loril-
lard's He has, they say. no experience as a
trainer beyond the fact that occasionally he
handled Miss Woodford, George Kinney, Sir
Dixon and others of the Dwyer stable when
Rowe or McCabe were elsewhere with the bal
ance of the stable. In such cases the horses
were trained when he took them and he only
had to keep them going. In this case it will be
different He will have a lot of horses of no
established reputation, good and bad alike.
The fact that he has not an established reputa-
ton as q trainer may cause Mr.. Lortllard to
interfere with him, as employers are apt to do
in such cases. Moreover, Mr.. Lorillard, while
one of the most liberal of employers. IS not the
easiest to please. and the Cassandras up town
say they will give Mclaughlin six months, and
lay odds he doesn't last over a year.-Spirtt Of

team will be here to contest against picked
team Of prominent players. This visit Of the
cadets will eclipse the one of the Princeton
College, as the cadets are better known here
abouts, and the large contingent Of naval and
army people will give tone to the affair. This
Naval Academy team is COED one, as is shown
by their victories over the famous one from the
University of Virginia, and will give splendid
exhibition of the game that has taken such
hold on society people.
Captain Catlin, the head Of the team, is re-
garded as the finest athlete that has ever en-
tered the Naval Academy. a reputation he has
maintained while handling the football eleven.
Secretary Tracy, Admiral Harmony and nearly
all the leading naval people will be IN the Capl.

ditIon of the Contestants.
Considerable interest is centeTed in the big
72hour race which starts to-day in the London
Theater at IL o'clock. All the arrangements
have been completed except the swearing in Of
the score keepers. The contestants are all in
the city and party feeling is running very
high among them. Several of them
met in the theater yesterday and some
very warm exchanges of opinion took place.
Already some private speculation has taken
place on the event. and Herty Hegelman and
Noremac seem to equally divide first honors as
far as being favorites is concerned. Connors
Golden and Day come next About 13 men will
start and it is safe to say that the contest will
be a severe one. Principally there are three
parties, viz. the Hegelman party, the More
mac party and the Day party. Noremac and
Herty have no strong feelings between them,
but local business man is backing Noremac
against Day. Golden, of course is another bit
ter opponent of the Noremac people During
a conversation last evening Golden said:
After ran so well at Lewiston resolved to
come here. may not be able to win, but feel
confident that won't be shut out. Certainly
the best l2-hours day men in the country are
here, and the track is hard one to run on.
Noremac and Day ought to be in better condi-
tion than the balance OF rs, because we have
been in some severe races lately. However,
wen know more about it next Friday or Satur-
day. Most certainly the man who wins will
have earned his $3.50"
Golden is seven pounds lighter than when he
was here last. The Woods Run people behind
Day staue that he was never in better condition
since he came to this country than he Is at
present. Each contestant has engaged his at
tendant and they are all ready for the word.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
PHILAELPHIA. December 22-Brighter pros
poets are dawning for the American Associa-
tion. There is no doubt now that an effort
will be made to reorganize the circuit and
there may possibly be eight clubs. Rochester
has been admitted, and there are now i've
clubs There is no truth in the report that Co
lumbus has Joined the International Association
and that ST. Louis has applied for admission
to the Western Association. The American
Association will probably hold meeting on
the second Monday in January by which time
more will be known about its prospective cir
cult. The managers of the Athletic club an
nounce that they have no intention of joining
the Atlantic Association. Secretary Whitaker
of the Athletic club, is chairman of the Amer
ican Association Circuit Committee, and he
favors a l2-club circuit.
81 believe it possible to form 12club cir
cult" said Mr.. Whitaker. For Eastern
cities we have Boston, Lowell, Hartford, New
Haven. Worcester, Providence, Troy. Albany,
and Washington to choose from, while in the
West ST. Louis, Chicago, Louisville, Indian
apolis, Columbus, Detroit. Toledo and Mil
waukee are available; The Bos;
to placing an American Association team
in the field the intention being to play it on the
same grounds with the neague club, having
the schedule so arranged that there will be no
also be made at Brooklyn and ChlcaeD, al
though we are not counting on them with any
degree of certainty"
Mr.. Whitaker includes Washington and
Indianapolis in his proposed circuit, because,
in his opinion these two cities will be dropped
by the National League at its meeting next
month. Toledo and Detroit are both willing to
accept franchises, if they are offered.

a Stubborn Resistance.
LISBON, December 22.-Dispatches from
QuiIlamaine, under date of November IL,
confirm the report made by Engineer Cas-
tello to the Colonial Minister on his en-
counter with the Makols. Theedispatches
say also that the natives made an unpro-
voked attack upon the camp at Mupassa,
and that CASTILLO, after a stubborn resist
ance, defeated them and occupied the coun-
try.
It was reported that the British mission
aries at Blantyre instigated the Makolos.
Major Serpa Pinto conferred with the Gov
ernor of Mozambique and afterward pro-
ceeded in the gunboat Quansa to Quillamine,
thence to Mopa. A fortnight later news
was received that the natives were massed
on the Zambesi, and were advancing in the
direction of the Shire river. Serpa Pinto
sent his scientific instruments to the coast
for safety, and placed CASTILLO, Engineer
Themudi and Lieutenant Contino in COM
mand of the Portuguese and native troops,
Contino also directing the movements Of
three steamers armed with guns and manned
by Portuguese sailors.
The latest news to October 20 was that
Pinto had sufficient stores to last three
months and that there was great activity in
the camp. Pinto was suffering from ma
laria. He expected to be able to subdue
the Makolos by December and return to
Lisbon.
