CABLE ROADS DELAYED.

Accident Number One Occurs at n Crossing
of the Central and Pltisburg Traction
Compunies' LIues-BOth Cables Thrown
From Their Bearings and Cars Stopped
for Hours.
A Central Traction cable car, at about
1015 last night, ran into the Fifth avenue
cable at the Wood street crossing and
stopped both lines. The gripman of Cen.
trail Traction car No. So failed to lift his
grip at the crossing and it struck the cable
of the Fifth avenue line, throwing it from
the wheel. The Central cable was also
jerked of the wheel at the same time. The
gripman was thrown against one of the
windows in his cab. The glass was broken.
but the gripman suffered only slight cut
of one hand. A passenger standing on the
rear platform was thrown head foremost to
the street, aud with his nose Clipped piece
of one of. the paving stones. His nose was
also somewhat bruised. The passengers
were piled together. Several women
screamed and several men swore.
The Fifth avenue cable, by the signal
system, was stopped almost instantly, but it
was 10 minutes before word was telephoned
to the power house of the Central Traction
Company and its cable was stopped. A
large force OF men from both roads was sent
to the scene. and the iron covers were lifted.
Men with ropes, chains and crowbars set to
work to lift the heavy and taut cables. They
worked hard in the mud, aided by some of
the city detectives and surrounded by
curious and clamoring crowd.
The theaters had not been out many
minutes when the accident occurred. The
streets were thronged with gentlemen and
ladies who were anxious to go to the East
End. 1t was announced that the cables
would be all right in few minutes. but the
minutes passed into hours, and the cars,
stopped at intervals all along the roads,
failed to move. The walters, one by one
and two by two. grew impatient and hired
hacks and cabs. The cabmen rubbed their
hands gleeiully, and remarked to one an
other that the Central Traction road was
good thing. The gripman of No. IS, who is
said to be comparatively new at his work,
refused to give his name when asked.

PHILADELPHIA, February 25.-It was
learned to-day that Mrs. Julia c. Lippin-
colt, the fugitive wife of Edwin Lippincott.
of Haddon Hall, Atlantic City, had been en-
gagged in note shaving with Charles B. Wig
ton, the defaulting Treasurer Of the Glamor-
gan Iron Company. prior to his arrest. The
amount of the transactions, although not ex-
actly known, will reach up into the thou
sands.
The defaulting Treasurer of the Glamor-
gan Iron Company during the entire season
last year had cottage at Atlantic City with
in stones throw of Haddon Hall. His
meals were served from this hotel, and by
this means he became acquainted with Mrs.
Lippincott. When he was arrested, charged
with embezzlement all of his effects were
seized, and thorough examination made Of
them.
THE MATTER SUPPRESSED.
Among the shaved paper found in his
possession were number of notes drawn up
by Mrs. Lippincott which were still re-
tanned by the defaulting treasurer and which
she confessed were shaved by Wigton. At
this time it was not known that Mrs. Lip
pincott was engaged in shaving paper or
forgery, and she was thoroh hghly frightened
about her name being connected with that
of Wigton. Out of respect for the husband
of the fugitive forger the matter was sup
pressed and it was not until to-day that it
became known.
In speaking of Mrs. Lippincott's connec-
tion with Wigton, the informant said:
"This was the first intimation Mr.. Lippin-
cott had that his wife was doing any outside
dealing. During last season Mr.. Lippincott
was greater part of the time confined to
his bed, and his wife attended to the run
ming of the hotel. The first discovery of
forgery was made the very day the hotel
closed for the season. On that day, which,
1 think, was October 1, Mr.. Lippincott, who
was still confined to his bed, was notified by
the officials of one of the Atlantic City
banks that there were two or three of his
notes, representing several thousand dollars,
which had been in the bank for some time,
and were now due for payment.
NATURALLY SURPRISED.
'Mr. Lippincott was surprised. knowing
that he had no paper, and being unable to
20 TO the bank, requested the officials to
bring the paper down to him and let him
see it. As soon as he saw his supposed
checks he pronounced them forgeries. Mrs.
Llppincott was called into the room. She
broke down and confessed that she had
forged the notes, and begged for mercy, say
ing that was her only offense. The deluded
husband pleaded with the bank not to
prosecute his wife, and paid the checks.
''Soon after this scene Mr.. Lippincott dis
covered that his wife had been engaged in
all kinds of negotiations, and at first at
tempted to suppress her crimes by paying
her notes. He paid out over $s, 900 of forged
notes with his name, but the demand be- 1
came so great that he was unable to continue
the payments and decided to allow things to
take their own course When his wife
learned that her husband had refused to pay
her debts, and she knew ruin was inevitable,
she ran away.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SEASON.

Be specially careful of draughts and sudden
changes.
Do not overwork. OF what use is wealth
without health7
Keep your feet dry, but do not wear over
shoes all the time.
Remember that the pores Of your skin. when
in health, are always open. anc that closing
them causes sickness.
Dress warmly, but not heavily. Wooden
clothing that permits the exhalatlons of the
body to escape, is the best.
Eat strengthening and hearty, but not too
much greasy food. 1t is a mistake to suppose
that fat food contains the most vitality
Ifyou feel chilly at any time take a drink of
pure whisky at once. Ddffy's Pure Malt is the
purest and best and has the highest recon-
mendations.
Do not call the Doctor for every slight all

Secretary Brunell, of the Players National
League, has issued stirring appeal in be-
half of the organization. A rumor is cur
rent that Mark Baldwin wants to leave the
Brotherhood. There is likely to be trouble
about the Leblanc affair.
CHICAGO, February 25-The Times to-
morrow will publish the following letter,
sent to the Players National League play
ers by Secretary Brunell:
The Players League is now ready to be-
gin the season with the strongest group OF
eight clubs ever gathered in one baseball
organization. Its men have withstood Ma
tional League bombs, beaten the 'old mas
ters'' in the court, rejected huge brides and
defeated National League plots. There are
40 men loyal and true under contract to-day.
Twelve of the men who signed our contracts
have proven false and deserted TO the enemy
under the influence of lies and bribes. Some
have repented and asked for a chance to re-
turn. The players of the Players League will
pass upon their request
A MATTER OF PRICE.
Our men have proven the falslty of the old
Leagues declaration that Every player has
his price" There is nothing IN the way OF our
SUCCESS. IN ABOUT q mOnLn our pay
ing season will open. 1t will be the best season
the national game has ever had. Thousands Of
people who have in the past taken little or no
interest in baseball have become attracted to it
by our clean and consistent struggle for liberty,
and by the un-American tactics of the old mas
tiers. The American people have no sympathy
with bluff, bribery or boycotting The National
Leagues current threats need only to be sized
up with those Of the past to cause laughter.
SOME ALLEGED BLUFFS.
The old League declared that our players
would never leave the old organization. They
did It said our League would never be organ
lied. 1t stands proudly in first place to-day.
1t said our business associates would put up no
money. They have stood every test 1t said
the courts would hold our men to old slavish
contracts. The courts indorsed us. Its men
now declare that the courts will decide against
US. and talk OF bombs and surprises. What
else can they do? Their game is up. Threats
are cheap and on a par with their early winter
claim that there was no money in baseball.
THE BIG SALARIES.
Yet the National League men are offering
donble the salaries which in 1889 they declared
were ''ruinous." We are glad to see our 'busi-
ness competitors" making these wild offers 1t
only justifes our present position and shows
the public the inscriptions and unprincipled
nature Of men with whom we have had to deal.
They would blacklist man who broke a con-
tract with them on the ground thar he was un-
worthy OF confidence, yet they offer fabulous
bribes to induce Que men to desert us. Is there
any moral difference between breaking a con-
tract with us and with them? 1t is very i'm
portant that all offers from the bribers go be-
see that they are fully exposed if they attempt
TO bribe you.

TRYING FOR KELLY,
Spalding and Hart Alleged to be TamperiuE
With Michael.

NEW YORK. February 25 - There was a
deep commotion in baseball circles yesterday.
A futile attempt was made to induce Mike
Kelly to lump" his contract with the Boston
Players League Club. Kelly himself, when
closely questioned by reporter last night, re-
fused positively to talk on the subject, but
enough facts have leaked out to substantiate
the story.
James A. Hart, A. g. Spalding's confidential
agent, arrived in town last Friday. Hart is a
warm friend of Kelly. If anybody could win
the king for the National League, he was the
man. 1t is well known that the old Boston club
has given up the idea OF regaining the player
for whom it paid Chicago $1,000 and has given
the New York or Chicago National League
clubs. the right TO capture him if possible
Hart had been assiduous in his attentions to
Kelly since his arrival here. and telegrams by
the score have passed between MIN and
Spalding.
About o'clock Sunday night. Spalding ar
rived in New York, and that night in some way
tried TO induce Kelly to desert He certainly
failed signally. Hart left for Chicago last
evening in anything but happy mood.
The king yesterday was considerably agitated,
but he would say nothing further than that he
had fooled 'em," and no money could induce
him to break faith with his fellow-players '.My
father and mother" said he, would never look
at me again il l should prove q traitor to the
boys. And the old Sport will never do any-
thing which will cause them the least sorrow"
Kellys reticence is presumably due to a
promise to say nothing about the matter.
