WILL SIGN DUNLAP,
President Nimick Makes Terms With His
Old Second Baseman,

President Nimick Makes Terms With His
Old Second Baseman.
President Nimick of the local League club
returned from the East yesterday morning and
expressed himself as being well pleased with
the result of the New York meeting of the
League magnates. After leaving New York
Mr Nimick and Secretary Scandrett visited
Fred Dunlap at Philadelphia, and it now seems
certain that Dunlap will play his old position
in the Pittsburg League club Speaking on the
matter MIR. NImick said:
II had a long talk with Mr.
Dunlap, and we agreed to
terms for him to play with US this season. Of
course the terms are below those of last year.
that is, he will play for much less than 5000.
He did not sign contract, for reasons that
were quite satisfactory to me, but he will sign
in few days. There is no doubt on this point.
He has been very badly treated by the Brother
hood. We know he is a good player and he is
quite willing to remain with us"
Regarding Conways desertion Mr.. Nimick
said: Il have a contract in nv Office signed
with us during the season of iS96.
He received g 500 from us last year and pitched
two games. Altogether he cost US nearly S. 900
for these two games and his conduct is
sample of how these alleged down trOdden'
ball players show their gratitude. However,
/ don't think we are through with Mr.. Conway.
If he turns out to be worth suing we will sue
him, because his case is different to that of
anybody else. Beckley's case was bad enough,
but Conway has certainly acted in the most
contemplate manner. Just think of it! We
paid this man all last year for doing nothing,
hoping that he would be of service to us this
year. He signed bona fide contract to play
this year. and that fact prompted us to pay
him well for doing nothing. Now in view of
all this John Ward induces him to play the
part of dishonorable man. Well, they may
have made a big mistake
Mr.. Nimick, speaking of the New York
meeting said: There are only about four per-
sons know how much was paid
to Messrs. Brush and Hewitt to
withdraw from the League. Of course
the two gentlemen named know but
only four more know beside themselves It was
left TO the committee, Messrs. Spalding, Rob
inson and Soden. to settle. They were enjolned
TO keep the terms secrel, except, of course
stating them to our attorney, Colonel Rogers
! don't know the terms, and say this on my
honor Certainly Mr.. Brush was well paid. New
York will have one OF the best teams IN the
country and that will help all of u.s. as the
Brooklyn and New York Players teams will, l
think. be knocked out before the end Of this
year, and that will end the new League"
During a further conversation Mr.. Nimick
intimated that the entire LeagueswiQ Pay for

GRUMBLING AT THE BOARD.
Men Who Complain of the Work of the
Three Viewers,

Men Who Complain of the Work of the
Three Viewers.
c. c. West of the firm of West & Grierson, of
the Southside, was one of the fault-nnders of
the Board OF Viewers. yesterday. He said that
he owned some property on South Twenty
eighth street. between Sarah and Carey alley.
The two houses. one at each end of the block
face and have their main entrances on Sarah
street and Carey alley. which thoroughfares
have been paved by Mr.. West At the last con-
sideration of the Twenty-eighth street paving,
the lot of Mr.. West, with 100 feet frontage, was
assessed at S413. while another one diagonally
opposite on the same street, l23 feet front, is
assessed at s402 This. MIR. West says, is rather
rubbing it in, and he objects to paying more for
less frontage very decidedly.
Several other people yesterday grumbled con-
siderably. Councilman Andrew Binder, of the
ThIrty-first ward, said the project of Colonel
Allen, of the Board of Viewers, to pave Brad
dock avenue with asphalt was simply waste.
The road led to a quarry, from which heavy
hauling might be expected for many years yet,
and, with the material right on the ground to
pave the avenue with stone, much better
adapted for heavy freightage, and cheaper, he
thought it would be waste of money to use the
asphalt, and an imposition upon the resident
property owners to assess them for it.

DOWN ON THE BROTHERHOOD.

Carpenters Refuse TO Work on the Boston's
New Grounds.
BOSTON, MASS, March. 24-The carpenters
at work on the Boston Players club grounds
were ordered to quit this afternoon by the Car
penters' Union. All but seven men of the 80
employees went out.
According to Walking Delegate Clinkard, Of
the Carpenters Union, the Federation OF
Labor have been gwen to understand time and
time again that in payment for their indorse-
ment the Brotherhood would assuredly see to
1t that contracts would be let out only to such
contractors as would agree to employ union
labor. pay union wages and enforce the union
standard of work day, whether it might be
eight or nine hours. 1t is claimed that not only
has the Brotherhood club of Boston failed to
conform to the requirements of the union, but
that the Brotherhood managers of the other
cities have practically ignored in the placing
OF their contracts the Endorsement of the labor
organization and the wishes OF the Carpenters
Union in Chicago and Philadelphia

Allegheny Knocks Out the Gas Contrnct for
PnunipD Sfoffou

Allegheny Knocks Out the Gas Contract for
Its Pumping Station.
At special of the Allegheny Common Coun-
ellis last night resolution, awarding to the AL
legheny Heating Company the contract for fur
nishing natural gas for the Howard street and
Troy Hill pumping stations for s25,0O0 year,
was read. Mr.. Knox said he was opposed to
the resolution because he thought the price
was excessive. They could put in coal and
stokers cheaper than that, and save the price
of the stokers the first year. and then have
them afrerward. Besides he thought the Alle-
gheny eating Company was charging S25 900
for gas the city was not getting 1t was like the
negro who thought the sun most useful-the
moon only shone on moonlight nights, and then
they didn't need it. The citizens only get gas
on warm days, when they don't need it. On cold
days it is scarce.
There was no further remark, but upon
vote the resolution was lost by vote of "a noes
to 10 ayes.
A large number of small contracts were
awarded, and much other routine business was
gotten out of the way.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
ST. LOUIS, March 24.-At2 2 o'clock this
morning DIR. Powers, resident physician in
the Southern Hotel was hastily summoned
to the apartment of Mrs. n. c. Goodwin,
Jr., and was told that Mrs. Goodwin had
taken q glass of carbolic acid with the in
tention of putting an end to her life. The
doctor went to work and soon relieved the
lady of the greater part of the poison. She
remained in critical condition for several
hours and is still very i'll.
There are two stories about the affair.
| The one Mr.. Goodwin and his friends are
| circulating shows 1t to be an accident. An
other story, however. is the talk of theatrical
circles, and it is causing quite as much of
sensation as did the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Goodwin few years ago.
JEALOUS OF MISS coE.
This story is that Mrs. Goodwin is jealous,
and that the lady of whom she is jealous is
Miss Isabel Coe, or Mrs. Frank Mckee, who
is Goodwin's leading support IN "a Gold
Mine" Goodwin did not return to his hotel
Saturday. and last night stopped at Popes. 1t
was at this time the acid was taken.
When the poison began its deadly work, Mrs.
Goodwin gave the alarm. The Titan haired
comedian was soon run down. and brought to
his wife's bedside. After the death of his first
wife, Eliza Weathersby. 1t was regarded as an
open secret in theatrical circles that he had
found young lady who could make him forget
his sorrow. The young lady was Lala Farrell,
a bright and popular young actress.
They were said to be engaged and would soon
be married. Suddenly, however, MI. Goodwin
turned up as the central figure of a sensation
by marrying the young widow who is now his
wife. She was member of a very respectable
Buffalo family, had considerable wealth and
never had anything to do with the stage. Mrs.
Goodwin is under 80 and very handsome. She
thinks great deal of Goodwin, and looks after
him very attentively, particularly since the
death of their child. as she says ne has been
more inclined since then to get out and seek
convivial and congenial company.
AFRAID HE WOULD FORGET.
She took him from Pope's Sunday afternoon,
and took him to the Southern Hotel. She said
to friends later that she was afraid he would
get out and forget the time of the departure of
his train. AT the time Mr.. Goodwin was in a
box with some theatrical friends, among whom
were Miss Isabel Coe (Mrs. Frank Mckee, and
Mr.. Mckee. The latter had run into st. Louis
the night before to see his wife, as he does
whenever he has the opportunity. He is man.
ager of mankind" and Exile" and all Of
Hoyt's plays and owns "A Tin Soldier"
1t is claimed that if there is jealousy 1t is
without foundation. The company has gone to
Kansas City. but Nat and his wife will remain
here until Mrs. Goodwin can travel. Mr.. Cool
win spent a very delirious week of it here and
developed his old weakness for gambling for
heavy sums.

SELLING BROSFS STOCK.
What Little IL Left Is Sold Mt Public Auction
By the Sheriff

Deputy Sheriff Robert Newell began the
sale of the stock of Jewelry in the store of John
c. Brosi, yesterday. The rumor that Brosi had
taken away about everything of value that he
could conveniently carry was evidently proven
when the safe was opened, as there was scarcely
any goods to be found. The goods sold brought
fairly good prices, but they Will not bring any
thing like the amount Brosi is alleged to have
obtained through his cleverness with the pen.
A great many people who had watches or
iewelry at Brosfs place, are very much ex-
ercised over the fear that they will not get their
property. But this fear is unfounded. as il is
said that all who have any goods at the store
and can prove the property, will have no
trouble in getting it.

CINCINNATI, o., March 24.-The biggest
thing in Cincinnati tonight is the Ohio
river, and its getting bigger every moment.
toms, and the muddy waters covers the floor
of the Grand Central depot like yellow
blanket. No trains are coming into it now
and freight and passengers must hunt far
away stations and out of the way places.
The Cork Street Surface road has been COM
PEELED to stop, and the Twenty-ffth ward
with its %, 900 people must come to town in
skiffs or stay at home.
The scenes of the levee are full Of excite
ment. The hundreds of families in the
vicinity of Front and Second streets, between
Central avenue and Vine street. four squares
long and three deep, are packed ready to get
out.
MERCHANTS MOVING OUT.
All about Broadway, Main and Sycamore
streets, for three squares back from the river,
the merchants are moving their goods into the
second stories, while further back the base
ments are being rapidly deserted. Hundreds
of teams are at work moving valuables, and
thousands of men are hurrying to and fro.
Every express cart and transfer wagon in the
city is employed.
: To add to the confusions thousands of sight
seers throng the levees and crowd the bridges.
The water famine is one of the serious posi-
bllities. The new engine, with a pumping
capacity of 100000 gallons daily can run to
II feet of water. The other engines are stopped
at g. but even now they are working badly, as
they have been largely under water for weeks
and the packing has become loose. The daily
consumption of water is 40, ,000, 900 gallons. The
coal yards are in great danger, but no damage
has been done.

In Newport 1000 people have been driven
from their homes, and are camping out in

The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad cannot
get Its trains within eight miles of the city, and
tonight the Scioto Valley road was cut off, and
the Chesapeake and Ohio will probably be before
morning.
Hundreds of homeless people are in the
engine and schoolhouses. Communication with
Ripley is shut off, but water is known to be in
main streets. Maysville and New Richmond
are in danger, but no serious damage is re-
ported from any up-river points.
