Another Chicago Mystery.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The police are
making good Roadway in the unravel-
ling of the mystery surrounding the
murderous assault upon John Hoos at
z o'clock last evening. Hoos was found
in the river near Bush street bridge,
where he had been thrown after his
skull had been fractured by the
blunt end of Ratchet. His brother
in-law, j. w. Getzman, whom he ac-
cuses of the crime. was arrested this
morning. Getzman is very indignant over
his arrest and says he knows nothing
of the assault. The motive for the as.
sault was undoubtedly robbery as Hoos
said he had been robbed of $4,000. 1t is
now believed Hoos may recover.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.-The rela-
tives and personal friends of the late
Franklin B. Gowen fully believe the
statement purporting to come from an
ex-member of the s'Mollie McGuires" to
the effect that the former president of
the Reading railroad, instead of COM
uniting suicide was murdered by a
double in revenge for the breaking up
of that notorious organization and the
hanging of it's leading lights. Mr..
Gowen, although he never went armed,
knew for nearly ten years that his life
was in danger, and the threatening
letters that he received during that
period would make a large collection.
He paid no attention, however. to these
missives, and could never be- induced to
believe that his enemies would go to
extremes. 1t is said that the family
have engaged private detectives on the
case and that the dead mans son will
make it his life work to unravel the
mystery surrounding his fathers death.

The modern game of base ball is an
American institution and not, as some
might believe, an exotic of foreign
growth which has come to us from the
older civilizations of Europe and east.
The game from which our present sport
IS derived had its origin and develop.
nent among the aborigines of the Am
erican continent, who played with bat
and ball ages, for aught we know, before
the dream of new world filled the
Imagination of the Italian adventurer.

course the game has undergone great
notifications, but recent archaeological
Investigations prove the truth of the
