ESPECIAL IELEGHAh IHE DIsPATCH.l
NEW YORK, October 50.-Considerable
interest is being manifested in the proposal
of F. P Slavin to come to America to fight
j. L. Sullivan. The general opinion is to
the effect that Slavin's talk is all "bluf, -
because, if he does come to this country, he
wants the public to know it Slavin is a
great talker and his managers urge him to
the utmost on this point.
W. A. Brady, OF the firm of Webster &
Brady, proprietors of the After Dark"
Company, yesterday notified Arthur T.
Lumley that he had closed contract with
Frank P. Slavin, the Australian heavy
weight pugilist, to appear in the concert
scene of the play.
He will come to America in about one
month, and will, upon his arrival, post
81, 600 forfeit money te fight John L. Sulli-
van for SO, 600 side and the championship
of the world. If Sullivan should refuse to
meet him, Slavir says he will claim the
championship. Just about the time of
SlaYin's arrival in New York Peter Jack
son will arrive in San Francisco from Aus
tralia, and the three greatest pugilists OF the
4day in the heavyweight class will be in this
country. Sullivan will most undoubtedly
accept Slavin's challenge without much
delay.
The talent" here think that the first
thing Slavin should do is this: That he
should first fight Peter jackson and let the
winner OF the Slavin-tTackson fight engage
with Sullivan. If this is decided upon,
Sullivan will then have plenty of tipe to
get ready.

ESPECIAL TLLEeRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
DUNBAR, PA, October 31.-The flames
in the Hill farm mine are being slowly but
surely overcome. Men have been at work
in the mines every day for two weeks past,
and are daily in peril of their lives. from
either the fire or the black damp, which is
very thick. A depth of 1,5O0 feet has been
reached, and the manway has been made
secure BY bratticing, so that the men may
work more easily. The slopeway has also
been cleared to this distance, and on the
way some large falls have been passed.
Live Goals are being daily hauled out in the
wagons and dumped like slack.
The officials are hopeful of speedy
termination of their troubles with this un-
lucky mine. There will be some awful dis
covery in few days, though no bodies have
as yet been discovered, nor has anything
belonging to the men been found. The
workers fear they will find the poor men
dead from starvation instead of being
smothered to death, as was at first supposed.
A depth of ], 200 feet more will bring the
workers to the level of the water.
The third attempt to enter the mine,
which began three weeks ago, has reached
the critical point, and the progress of the
men from this time on will be watched with
the greatest interest. Hugh Doran, assist
ant mine boss, leads the effort. Under his
direction an iron pipe laid down the man
way is used to carry water to the fire.
Up to last Friday night four sections of
the slope had been cleared away. The fifth
section was finished to-day. This section
was terrible test of human endurance.
Fire which could not be quenched was
handled with the shovel and redhot Goals
were hauled to the surface and disposed of.
The heat was so intense that but few min
utes could be spent in it at one time. But
it was cleared at last. The sixth section is
that part OF the slope known as Jacobs
Ladder" Here all interest has been GEN.
tered for weeks. 1t was explored to-day by
Mine Boss Doran, as no other man would
brave the heat Several falls were en-
countered. which are all live Goals. Mr..
Doran was nearly overcome by the heat and
gas arising from the fire.

An Allegheny Young Man Who Lost Two
Dollars and Half-His Story of the Way
He Dropped His Doodle.
f. NJ. Stewart, an agent in charge Of what
is known as the Interstate Manufacturing
Company at No. 533 Wood street, was ar
rested yesterday by Alderman McMaster's
constable on a charge preferred by John
Russell, of Allegheny.
Russell alleged in his complaint that he
called on Stewart in reference to an adver-
tisement stating that young man could
find employment at the ofhce at $15 week.
Russell says he was under the impression
that he was wanted to run the elevator.
After some talk he was asked to sign a
paper, which he did, thinking, he stated,
that ne was to secure the last named posi-
tiun.
Russell asserted that when he signed the
paper the reading matter was covered by q
blot ter, so that he could not see what kind of
article he had signed. He was next asked
for 50 so, which he gave, and in return got
receipt for the oney signed by Stewart for
the Interstate Manufacturing Company.
Russell was hen handed the prospectus of
a book which Stewart said he was to sell.
Russell stated that he could not understand
this, as he thought he was being employed
to run the elevator, and not to sell books.
Stewart said that was what he agreed to do.
Russell was given a duplicate copy of the
paper he had signed. He read it
over and found that by signing
it he had agreed to work for the company
for four weeks on trial in a capacity
that would be required of him, such as
collector, solicitor or deliverer. He had
agreed to work faithfully eight hours each
dav, for which he was to receive SIS per
week. An average of "a orders weekly was
expected, but if he delivered only half of
that number the work would be considered
complete.
The money for the prospectus was not to
be refunded, but if it was returned IN good
condition the money would be taken in ex-
change for a complete copy of the works
upon payment of So additional. Russell
said that he had never had any experience
in canvassing, and told Stewart that he
would not take the job and at the same time
asked him for the 81 so. Stewart refused
to return it, but said that ne would sell him
the complete works for the 81 additional, as
stated in the agreement
Stewart was held in $500 bail for trial by
the Alderman.

Club are a lot of Jolly good fellows, and when
they have an evening at home" in their club
room merriment is supreme. Last night they

quet g. II. Christy. Esq, made an extremely
interesting speech on fishing. During his re-
marks he very humorou,ly pointed out the
necessity of man, who goes on fishing ex-
cursion, taking more than one pair of pants
with him. Mr.. Christy went on to argue that
all the head waters Of the local rivers should
be stocked with fish so that citizens could take
days outing" to catch fish. The speaker
also paid a very high eneomium to the work of
Fish Warden Hag ue for his un tiring efforts in
running down poachers and illegal fishers.
Vocal music was rendered by the Amphion

members of the club. Medals were awarded to

THEIR TRIP A FAILURE.
The Stafford Harriers Have Not Pocketed

The Stafford Harriers Have Not Pocketed
the Money Expected in America =
NEW YORK, October S0.-The starring tour
of the Manhattan A. C.-Salford Harriers' COM
bination of champion athletics has not proven
the financial bonanza its promoters anticipated.
The agreement entered into with the athletic
clubs of the various cities at which joint meet
ings have been given was equal division of the
profits, if there were any, the home club to
stand all losses entailed.
AT Detroit about $500 was divided at Chicago
the meeting was failure, at Buffalo there was
a small division, at Boston it was failure and
at Philadelphia the Athletic Club of the
Schuylkill Navy footed up over 500 on the
wrong side of the ledger.
The managers of the troupe rely upon the
Madison Square Garden meeting to help cut
down the losses, which fall upon the Manhattan
A. c., for the visitors 'can't loose" having been
guaranteed $1,000 irrespective of how the ven
ture panned out.
If the combinations visit to Boston was not
attended with happy results, that to the City OF
Brotherly Love was direful. Barely 400 spec
tators were present and the games were a
farce. The A. c. S. n. had advertised Westing,
Connect Copeland. Carey, in fact nearly all
NJ. A. Z. champions had been entered for the
meeting, but none appeared for competition.
The A. Z. S. N. officials were very indignant
at this state of affairs and were not at all back
ward in expressing their feelings to the M. A.
c. representatives present.
The Philadelphans had heard of the Stafford
Harriers' charges of discourtesy against the
Boston Athletic Association. and were deter
mined to avoid such a complaint against the
Schuylkll Navy. Therefore an elegant ban
quet was rendered the visitors after the games,
but the courtesy almost regretted when
several of the Engishmen sat down to the re-
past wearing blue flannel shirts. The other
guests were not ultra fastidious but this dis
play of British eccentrcity caused great deal
of unfavorable comment.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATCH.l
BRAppocK, October 30-A horrible accident
occurred here in the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works last night, which was due to the care
less bravado of the victim, colored man
named Robert Washington, from Culpepper.
Va. 1t was noticed by Superintendent Pierce,
of the Carnegie Electric Light Company, that
Washington had often grasped the electric
light wire when the current was turned off, in
order to show the men he was not afraid. He
was warned several times that he would be
caught.
Last night Washington was seen to climb up
several steps. and reach out his hand toward
an electric light lamp. Some one shouted a
warning to him, but it was too late. His hand
touched the wire, and in an instant his frame
stiffened and he fell to the floor below, dead.
Not a muscle twitched. and his death must
have been instantaneous. His right hand
touched the wire, and his left, clinging to an
iron rod, had completed the circuit There was
not mark on the man, except on the right
hand, where a slight scar was found where he
had grasped the wire.

violating the State law and city ordinance for
bidding the sales of pools except within the
Enclosures of racecourses One OF these cases
came M for final hearing before Judge Tuley
tc-rSy in the Circuit CoG1s. and the Judge rem
dered a decision 10 the effect that the statute
and ordinance under it are unconstitutional
becau they give special privileges
The laws, be found. are similar to those in
New York and Louisiana, and his decision was
in accord with decisions already rendered IN
those States. Judge Tuley stated that the law
gave power of suppression of poolselling to
the Mayor and authorities, but no authority
was contained for the regulation thereof. The
trainers OF the ordinance, therefore had acted
beyond their authority, and the police have
right only TO prohibit the sale of such pools
The city VIII take an appeal from the de-
clsIcn. IN the meantime, there is nothing TO
prevent pool selling at viii in this city unless
the general State law against gambling can be
made to apply Over 200 suits similar to the
one decided to-day are on the docket.
They Will not be pushed pending the action
of higher court.
