NO MORE PINK OLEO.
West Virginia Dealers Find Tt
Worthless and Unstable.
THEY WILL SELL IT UNCOLORED,
Thereby Violating the State Law Which
They Propose to Test.
MINOR NEWS FROM THE THREE STATES



WHEELING, Sept. 25.-[Spectal J. The
famous 'spink" oleomargarine act of the
last State Legislature will soon be tested on
the grounds of its unconstitutionality.
Ever since the United States laws have for
hidden the sale of oleomargarine in any
form, there has been fight in this, as in
other large cities, to get the stuff in in any
other way than directed by law, viz: in
original packages and plainly marked with
the name "oleomargarine. Wheeling
merchants had been buying immense guam
titles of the stuff from Chicago, and when
the State passed law that all oleomargarine
should be colored "pink" there was trouble
here.
Merchants ordered the bogus butter from
their Chicago firms, duly colored pink, but
when it came it was perfectly unstable, and
good housewives said uneatable on account
of its pink color. The result of the law was
that oleomargarine dropped out of sale
here for awhile, then came in larger guam
titles than ever but sold this time as bogus
butter, not colored with the nauseating
pink. Peter Dillon and E. L. Myer, of this
city, were hauled up for violating the State
law in not coloring the oleomnrgine pink,
and were each fined $40 and costs. Colonel
W. W. Arnett, for the defendants, main
tanned right to appeal on the ground that
the State law was unconstitutional, and to-
night Squire Gillespie decided that they
had right to appeal, though the State law
is said to be final
Prominent Chicago firms have written the
local defendants that they will uphold them
in their fight, and the appeal is to be taken
to test the pink law, which its opponents
say was taken from joking suggestion OF a
New York comic paper and never intended
in earnest.

THE STORY OF A RING ROBBERY.
An Innocent Girl, Ill With Brain Fever
Accused of Diamond Theft

All IuhOcent WIFI DrStih IctCr,
Accused of Diamond Theft
AKRON, Sept. 26.-[SpeciaLl l-Sensational
developments were brought out to-day in
the apparently trivial case of May Brestine,
a well-known High School girl who had
been bound over to court to answer the
charge of stealing a diamond ring. The
ring belonged to Miss Scott, prominent
Cleveland society lady, and the theft is
alleged to have been committed while the
two were camping out together at Silver
Lake this summer. When the young lady
was arrested some weeks ago she strongly
protested her innocence, and was so
wrought up over the affair that for four
weeks she was dangerously i'll with brain
fever
Meanwhile Detective Flower, OF this city,
had been working up the case on different
clew, visiting the Silver Lake resort with a
search warrant. To-day he returned with O
story that has cleared Miss Brestine and
placed the blame on other visitors at the
resort. Armed with O search warrant
Flower found hid in the pantry in the house
of John Garrett, where Miss Scott boarded,
the identical diamond ring, and with 1t
gold watch which Miss Scott's sister lost
while camping at Silver Lake. The really
guilty parties will be arrested, and mean
while Miss Brestine's attorneys will make
matters warm for Miss Scott, OF Cleveland,
and her intended, William G. Pratt, an en-
ploye of the Standard Oil Company in the
same city, who gave the ring to Miss Scott
on their engagement and who was the first
in pushing the case against Miss Brestine.

wELLsBURG's SIDE OF IT.
The Manager of That Club Shows How
They Are Not Afraid.

The Manager of That Club Shows How
They Are Not Afraid.
The following letter from Lewis Nichols,
manager of the Wellsburg Baseball Club,
was received at this Office last evening:
To theSporting Editor of the Dispatch:
SIR see by to-day's DISPATCH that East
Liverpool claims that the Wellsburg Base
ball Club would not carry out the agreement
to play the next game in the championship
series at Uhrichsville, o. The facts In the
case are these: Wellsburg and East Liver
pool agreed to play1lve games for the cham
ionship of the Ohio Valley. The first two
were to be played in Eas4 Liverpool, the
next two in Wellsburg and the last one Oc-
tober 8 in East Liverpool. We played the
first two as per agreement and Wellsburg
won them both easily. The third one was
played last Saturday and East Liverpool
won through the single error Wellsburg was
guilty of. This leaves two games to be
played-one one the 26th at Wellsburg, and
one on October3 Mt East Liverpool. Mr.. Travis
manager of the Eclipse, wanted to transfer
to-morrow's game to Uhrichsville, and Wells
OF October 3 should be played i'll Wellsburg,
thus giving each club two games at home.
lie did not accept this condition, and Wells
burg notified him on Monday morning that
per schedule, but that Wellsburg WAS will
ing to play the game of October 3 in Uhrichs-
vile or East Liverpool. To this notice he
did not respond until yesterday, when q let
ter was received from him, stating that his
team would go to Uhrichsville and play the
Beaver club.
Mr.. Travis simply seeks to escape sure
defeat by attempting shyster lawyer like
dodge, but we are confident that the East
Liverpool club will not be led by him in this
matter, and we enpect them down to-mor-
row. We have played the Eclipse club eight
games this year, and have won five. The
games won by were by the scores of 13 to
to 6, to and to 0. These scores do not
look as if Wellsburg need to be afraid of the
Eclinse club

MoUAID'S CHICAGO TRICK.
Strong Evidence That He Is Too Eager to
Favor His Own City.

Umpire McQuaid is certainly giving our
sluggers a tough deal at Chicago this trip,
and as n result there will be two protested
games. 1t seems to be the general opinion
that McQqaid is determined to have the Chi
cago team win the pennant by hook or by
crook. His unfair work Yesterday and
Thursday calls to mind the fact, that he had
a decision in favor of Chicago over-ruled by
the board last year.
1t was relating to the game on May %,
when Chicago defeated Philadelphia 10 to s.
McQuaid refused to allow Gray to act as
substitute Tor player in one of the middle
innings. The following special from an au-
thority in Chicago last evening, explains
yesterdays steal:
pared to to-day's contest. McQuaid again
ofliciated, and his crooked work was the
cause of the game to-day being declared in
favor of Chicago. In the seventh inning a
beautiful double play was made ShuCart to
Bauer to Beckley, but it was not allowed
giving Chicago a run that was not in strict
keeping with fair umpiring. In the eighth
inning, one man out slow hit was made to
Bauer, who handled it to Beckley, Burns be-
ing on second. While the play was on
Burns started for third, but cut the base at
least ten feet. Beckley returned the ball to
Miller sufficiently soon to put Burns out but
this model of honesty, McQuaide, failed to
say so, and Burns scored what proved to be
the tieing run. At this juncture Miller got
the Dali, ran to third and touched the base,
asking for q decision on Burns short cut
McQuaide, in a towering rage ran down to
the little catcher and quickly ordered him
to leave the game. Miller walked to the
bench and sat down. McGunnegle then Or
dered Miller back to his position. McQuaid
ran for a watch, and at the end of minute
declared the game forfeited, to 0, in favor
of Chicago The rules state plainly that an
umpire must allow five minutes before for
feiting game if after 4 player has been
ruled out rule e. section s. covers the point
nicely, and it is more than probable that
Anson & Co. will have one less victory
counted up than looked for when the final
settlement occurs ut the League meeting
Much excitement prevailed, and tomorrow
Will witness a great struggle, both clubs be-
ing determined to win. A great contest is
assured
Fhe rule is distinctly clear on the point,
and it seems as if McQuaid had lost his head
IN his eagerness to give his own city the
pennant Yesterday President O'Neil wired
President I Dung about McQuaids bad work
on Thursday, and President Young wired
reply TO Str. O'Neil to the effect that he had
warned McQuaid. The Pittsburg players on
Thursday all wanted to forward protest to
President Young against McQuaid. They
are unanimously of the opinion that they
are being frnudulently dealt with.

looked better in his life. During a CONVEX
sation he said: "I am aware that am going
to tackle great runner: but just take my
word for 1t, he'll know that he has had
race before I'm through with him. That's
all have to say on the matter"
The Darrtn party are Just as confident and
wanted to invest some money on the result
last evening. A few small bets were made 1t
even money, but it is likely that the odds
will be on the Englishman at the race to.
day. His hacker stated last evening that
Darrin is quite willing to run Peter Priddy

can be made this evening at THE DISPATCH

The contestants agreed that MIR. Phil
Lloyd act as referee and starter. He is Vice
President of the Allegheny Athletic Associa-
