ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
COLUMBUS, O., February 25.-Baseball cir
oles has rumor that Mark Baldwin is anxious
TO break away from the Brotherhood and re-
turn to Columbus. The report could be traced
to no definite source further than some of his
intimate friends in the Columbus club claim to
have private information to that effect.
Jack O'CoRnor, who is supposed to be pos
SCISSOR of the facts, refuses TO tell what he
knows about it. The rumor is that if Colum-
bus will pay the Brotherhood what advance
money he has received and the same salary he
got last year they can have him.
Manager Buckenberger, of the Columbus
club, to-day telegraphed from Philadelphia to
Mr.. Lazarus, Columbus director, that Le-
hane is in the South and has gone to Charles
ton, where he will meet the New Yorks
Lazarus says John B. Day is doing everything
he can to beat Columbus out of Lehane by
keeping him hidden He sent contract to
Charleston, also one to the home of Leblanc in
New Y ork to-day for him to sign. The local
club claims to have information that New
York has promised protection to Leblanc after
the 9th and Mr.. Lazarus states Leblanc will 20
on the blacklist after Thursday of this week.
He says what the Association wants is the
right and they propose it, as they have been ILL.,
used long enough. Columbus claims the evil
dence is on their side so far as the Leblanc con-
tract is concerned. They expect to make their
case on the written evidence of Leblanc him

The Schedule for the Various Clubs ON the
Big Holidays.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHl
PHILADELPHIA, February 25.-It did not
prove such an easy matter to form aschedule
for the Association as was at first supposed.
When the committee adjourned on Monday
night they all thought that it would take but a
short time to finish it to-day. But, after an all
day session. it was finally adopted tonight.
Manager Chapman, of Louisville, was
the holder out and he stuck to his
point with great tenacity. he wanted
the Eastern clubs to finish in the West, but
when he saw that he could;not gain his ends he
submitted and the dates were soon arranged.lAs
the members OF the committee fled from their
room late tonight they looked as though they
had been through long siege, but those who
had been on the winning side were all smiles
The main features of the schedule will remain
q secret until after the Association meeting
next month but many little interesting points
were let drop by those in charge.
The. dates for opening and closing the season
were not changed, and are April II to October
II Each club will make three trips, and the
East will open among themselves, and close in
the same manner So far as the Athletics are
concerned there are no Sunday games scheduled
and they will open the season with the Roches-
Ter club and close it with the BrooklyDs The
Eastern clubs will play at home on Decoration
Day and Hebrew fast day, while they will be
IN the West on the Fourth of July and Grand
Army Day.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsP ATcH.l
WASHINGTON, February 25-THE DISPATCH
representative learned to-day from President
Young, of the National Baseball League, who
has received letter from John b Day, Of the
New York club, that the offer Of s., ,000.0 900 for
the franchises Of all the National League
clubs is bona fide one, but Mr.. Young says he
feels certain that it will not be accepted The
offer includes not only the franchises and play
ers, but also the grounds and all improvements.
The property of the League in grand stands
and leases Mr.. Young says is worth at least
$3.50 600 and the remaining &2j0,0O0 is considered
a very small sum for the franchises, contracts,
etc.
"One of the motives of the hackers of the
Brotherhood" Mr.. Young said, ''is to get the
League to refuse the offer point blank, and
then you viii hear the cry from the Brother
hood calling attention to the fact that the
League. after having said in its manifesto to
the public that it had not made any money, had
refused cool million for its franchises. This
would place the League in contradictory
position to those who do not know the facts
If anyone will take the trouble to figure this
matter out, they will soon learn that sum
nearer s., 500, ,0B would be more like it."

wAYNEsBURG. February 3d. George
Clark, the condemned murderer, spent his
last day of life pretty much as he has spent
his last week. A number of persons visited
him and bade him goodby, they being
mostly those who had in some way been con-
nected with his case. His wife, who came
yesterday, took her departure this morning,
and the parting scene was touching in
the extreme. She left by a side
door which opens on an alley, and
passed down below the Jail window
which is nearest to CIark's call. As the
curtains of the vehicle were being drawn she
moaned aloud, "Goodby, George" and was
driven away. A covered wagon drawn by four
horses arrived this evening from Masontown,
and will carry away Clark's remains tomorrow,
and they will be buried in MasOntown. Clarks
brother is here and is the only member of his
family who will remain during his execution.
A report that a military company would be
called grew out of the fact that many urged
Company K, Tenth Regiment be placed around
the Court House to keep the crowd in check,
IN place of sworn dep uties. The Sheriff tele-
graphed Governor Beaver, who said it would
not be permitted only in the emergency of
riot arising. There is no suspicion of trouble
here, and no militia will be called out. A
strong guard will be placed inside the Jail
tonight.

On Wednesday night, or rather
Thursday morning says the Elko In
dependent, Mrs. Potts made an almost
successful attempt to commit suicide.
Even since her incarceration in the
county Jail she had been in possession
of a small instrument which had the
appearance Of a pencil, and which she
kept secreted in her hair when being
searched. In one end OF this was a
small, sharp knife blade, or lancet,
not over an inch long and which was
thrown out OF the pencil or handle, by
a spring. With this she opened an
artery in her left wrist while living on
her bed feigning sleep. He hands
were under cover, hence her guard,
who supposed her to be asleep, sus-
pected nothing wrong. She had al.
most reached the point Of unconscious.
ness from loss OF blood, when a slight
coughing aroused Deputy Sheriff
Dawley, who vas sleeping in the
office.
Being on the alert he Immediately
ran to the cell to see that all was right,
and on throwing back the covering
discovered the bed saturated with
blood. He Immediately discovered
the cause and Selling the wounded
wrist he pressed the thumb of one
hand over the wound TO staunch the
blood, held her right hand with the
other and sent for DIR. Meigs. The
woman fought with all her strength to
prevent Mr.. Dawley from stopping the
flow OF blood, bat as she was quite
weak he could handle her, although
he is anything but a stout man. DIR.
came, bandaged her wrist and
the loss of blood, which, he
would have ended her life in a
very few minutes. The woman was
very angry at the doctor for thus
frustrating her design to cheat the gal
lows by taking her own life, and some
persons regret that she did not &C.
complish her object.
