Some Baseball Men Happy Over the Deci
sion in New YORK.

New YORK. Jan 28.-Judge O'Brien
has decided the suit of the New York Base
bail club vs.. J. NJ. Ward in favor of the
latter.
After reviewing the points in the case
carefully, Judge O 'Brien considers at length
the difference between suit at law and q
suit at equity, and decides that in suit
at equity, such as the present suit, the
court has no power to force the defendant
to play ball with the plaintiff He decides
to deny the preliminary injunction.
In concluding his decision Judge
O'Brien said it was proper that the rights
of the parties should be determined by
trial before the ball season begins, and to
that end he would assist in securing Il
speedy trial, upon which final and de
liberate judgment upon rights of parties
could be pronounced.

decision was received with every demon
stration of joy. kilograms of congratua-
ton are pouring in thick and fast.

While driving through the Stony creek
ravine last Saturday, Mr. H. NJ Hanor,
who lives in the Elk Creek valley, four
miles from SINNERS Creek. Pa, says a
dispatch in the New York Sun, had a
single horse attached TO a buggy with a
canopy top. and he was alone The horse
was on a slow walk, when suddenly it
SHE'D 10 the right, and Mr. Hanor saw a
quick movement among the bushes TO his
left. What the fash ike moment was he
did not know, he said. because his whole
attention was directed TO the skittish
horse at the instant, and when he refined
the morse back into the road he saw long
bodied animal creeping through the cOpse
toward the carriage. Before he had time
to make up his mind what kind Of beast
it was, the animal crouched and then
sprang at the buggy.
1t landed IN the roadway opposite a point
between the wheels, having seemingly
checked its leap on account Of the canopy,
the fringe Of which fiuttered. The horse
snorted and plunged ahead, and the
strange animal kept along and made sew
eral moves as if it meant to spring into
the carriage. II constantly eyed the hut-
teriag top and seemed afraid TO make the
spring, snarling little as it kept alongside
Of the wagon. Seeing that the beast was
bent on following him, Mr. Hanor picked
up his whip and dealt it two cuts with the
lash, thinking that it would then clear

he wanted, but would not dignity him by
fighting a duel. When Dupre saw Bur
bank yesterday he walked up to him with
the offensive paragraphs pasted on a sheet
of paper in his hand and slapped Burbank
three times in the face with his own para

his pistol and called on Burbank to draw,

then put his pistol back in his pocket and
