A Chance for Burns Enthusiasts-Inter-
esting Relics for Sale.

and the banks oDoon. They are shown
the room in which the poet first saw the
light, as well as the original furniture
used by Burns parents. Will it be believed
that all the genuinely original furniture

in the possession Of gentleman in Man
chester, who wants 81 900 for the follow
ing articles: The fathers chair, the moth
er's chair, the poets chair, Pembroke ta-
bic with flap, another without flap, the

these are authenticated by letters from
men who had seen them before 1S43. The
seller throws in FIVE visitors books--from
1929 to lS4S-containing 7,000 autographs
as well as a letter of the poets Here's q
chance for some Scotch museum or Burns
club. They were offered for sale to the
Secretary for Scotland, but the Secretary
wrote that while they were of "no value
they might be given to the nation. The
seller replied that as the nation had never
given him anything he did not see his way
to carry..out the proposal. A sixpence from
every member of Burns club would Sc
cure the collection.

Ellingsworth. The club gave a purse of
81 600, the loser to take $500.
There was full attendance in anticipation
of good fight, the records of the men CO.
ing to prove that they are quite evenly
matched. Although Kelliher defeated
Ellingsworth less than year ago in four
teen desperate rounds at Los Angeles, the
latter has ever since maintained that
he would reverse the order of things
should they ever meet again. Very little
betting was done.
Both men were in fine condition. Patsy
Hogan acted as referee. Kelliher weighed
1914 pounds and Ellingsworth 153 pounds

Ellingsworth was the first to lead, land.

EIlingsworth was doing all the leading
in the fifth, and IN the sixth he got in an

DISASTROUS STORM.
A Portion of Pennsylvania Damaged
Hail, Rain and Wind

A Portion of Pennsylvania Damaged by
Hail, Rain and Wind.
PITTsBURG, May 23d-A terrific wind,
hail and rain-stoim prevailed here to-
night. Several houses were struck by
lightning and a dozen blown from their
foundations. One building was blown
down and four or FIVE persons injured seri-
ously. City Treasurer Denniston had a
valuable house destroyed. Hail the size
of marbles fell for twenty minutes. The
damage is estimated at S75 600.
AT Layten Station an immense amount
of mud, rocks and trees came down on the
Baltimore and Ohios tracks. The rain
there amounted almost to a cloudburst
At Scottdale the storm was particularly
destructive. Cellars along all the principal
streets were nearly filled with water and
goods III stores were saturated. The creek
is rising steadily and the safety of bridges
between Scottdale and Fair Chance are en-
dangefed.
A dispatch from Oil City, Pa, says: A
heavy rain has fallen almost steadily since
last night, raising the water in the river
and creek to the highest point since 1888.
On account of washouts no communica-
tions are had with Buffalo or Warren
Ground floors in the lower portion of town
are flooded.
At Wheeling, West Virginia, two and
half inches of rain fell in twenty minutes,
deluging streets and flooding number of
business houses. There are apprehensions
of big rise in the river At Pittsburg a
heavy rain is likely TO swell rivers to food
proportions.
A special from Erie, Pa, says 1.-THE
long continued rains have caused a great
deal of trouble on railroads in this section
of the State, and to-day there were many
washouts. The bound freight on the
Nickel.plate went through a bridge near
Crayton. Three trainmen were severely
injured. Twenty-Five cars went down into
the food"
MORE DAMAGE HEARD FROM.
CLEVELAND (O.), May 23d.-A rain storm
much in the nature of cloud-burst swept
over northwestern Pennsylvania this
morning, doing much damage. at CORY
the streets were converted into rivers, in
some places two feet deep, tearing up sew
ers and washing out roads. The railroad
yards are completely inundated. Merchants
also sustained heavy damages. The valley
from Cory TO Irvingtown, distance of
twenty miles, is a complete lake of water,
from one to three miles in width. The loss
will probably reach 100000 or more.
The public highways in surrounding
counties are nearly impossible.
At Meadvllie lightning struck several
buildings, although none were severely
damaged. Several streets were flooded and
extensive damage resulted in the lower
portion of the city from the rapid rising of
French Creek. Three bridges, slaughter
house and numerous small buildings and
sidewalks were swept away. Reports from
all directions indicate that the damage in
this vicinity is very heavy. The railroads
also suffered from washouts.

Coolies Having Certificates May Bring
Their Wives and Daughters Along.
PORTLAND, May 2Sd.-Wong Ham, wife
and daughter, arrived on the Coloma last
week. Wong Ham, having the required GER
tiicate, was allowed to land, but the wife and
child were detained. This morning Judge
Deadly decided the habeas corpus case insli.
tuted and ordered that they be discharged
from custody and allowed to land. The
Court stated that the object of the Restric-
ton Act is to prevent laborers from COM
ing to the country, but does not include
merchants, teachers and students. Wong
Ham, husband and father, in this case had
the required certificate. He brought his
wife and daughter, who, it is well known
are neither teachers nor students, and
therefore, could not get certificates, and
from the nature of their national customs
women are not laborers. The law permits
the merchant to bring his family servants
and all persons constituting his household,
also his wife and daughter. They could
not be separated from him.

the Committee on Agriculture. a report
containing his views on the bill reported
oy the Committee OF Agriculture taxing

presented before the committee in favor of
the bill, inference is drawn, the report
says, that the immediata.esult of its enact
ment will be to increase the value of every
hog in the United States 81 cents in the
farmers hand
The claim that depreciation in the value
of swine and lard is due to he manufacture
OF lard compound, Wilson holds. is not TO
his mind established. The greatest injury

sPALDING ON BASEBALL.
He Does Not Think the Brotherhood
Will Hold Over,

Will hOlu over.
CHICAGO, May 23d.-President Spalding,
of the Chicago National League Club, ex-
pressed himself on the baseball situation
again to- day to local paper. He dwelt on
the poor attendance at the games so far,
and sees no salvation for baseball except
the withdrawal of the Players League
from the field. The League, he says, is
going to stick to the fight uncompromising
and without quarter. If the Players
League lasts, be said, there will be twenty
ive-cent baseball Sunday games, beer in
the grand stand, and the game will be
ruined as the grand finale of the play.
Spalding figures that the average attend
ance at the League games so far exceeds
that of the Brotherhood. He predicts that
if it should rain at baseball points on Dec
oration Day the Players League will have
hard work pulling through June. He is
figuring that the married men, who went
into the scheme without knowing what
they were backing, will have had enough
of the sport to last them for life, unless
they recoup some of their losses on Decora.
ton Day.
Should ii not rain on Decoration Day
Spalding thinks a storm on the Fourth ol
July would be disastrous.
Should it rain on neither day, and the
attendance remain as at present, he pre-
diets that the Players League will never
open second season.

WASHINGTON, May 23d.-The, United

Judgment in the case of Teyza, the Cuban
embezzler, now in New York. the eject TO
be to allow his extradition by Spain.
Ex-senator Mcdonald made motion
for rehearin- of the Mormon case.and to
yacate the mandate in the case. The
Court refused rehearing, but decided to
allow the latter part of the motion. The
Court said it was satisfied that the eonclu-
sions' reached were correct, but not with
the form of the decree entered, and would
take the matter under advisement until
next term. 1t is understood that the OBJ.
Ject is to ascertain if there be not some
method by which the money accumulated
by the Church of Latter Day Saints can be
returned to some source that will not use
the funds for the propagation OF polygamy,
there being reluctance to absolutely con-
tscate the property.
The Court to-day finally adjourned until
the next term, beginning on the second
Monday in October.
