Doernberger Defeats Born in Their Novel
Contest Amid Much Betting.

Doernberger Defeats Born in Their Novel
Contest Amid Much Betting
There was a large and enthusiastic crowd
at Exposition Park yesterday afternoon to
see the calf dressing contest between Her
man DOeTnberger and John A. Born. The
two men named undertook to each dress two
calves in the best manner and quickest time
Tor $500 side. 1t is safe to say that all the
butchers in Allegheny county and a few out
siders were present. There was considerable
betting on the result, and the odds went as
high as 500 to So on Doernberger. At this
rate fully 81, 90 were invested on tine con-
test.
J. 7. BeilSten was referee. Judges and
timers-For Doemberger, Ed C. Peter; for
Born, William Baeder. Mr.. T. +. Shancr
WAS scorekeeper for DOernberger, and J Tip
pert for Born.
As soon a. the contest commenced it was
seen that DOemberger was the winner.
Each man operated on two calves at once,
and DOeTubergcr, winning the toss, started
first. His work was so clean and quick that
he was at once looked upon as the winner.
He made the following score: First calf
Legged, q seconds; pclted, or skinned, 3
minutes - seconds; dressed, 5 minutes 10
seconds. second calf-Legged, / minute Is

dressed, 6 minutes p seconds. Doernberger

Well. The ta.l field day of the Allegheny

BLAINE'S EUROPEAN ILLNESS.
His italian Physician Submits to an Inter.
view Upon the Subject.

view upon tle SUBJECT.
MILAN, ITALY, Oct. 5.-The Herald CORE
spondent has interviewed DR.. Fornoni,
Blaine's former physician, who says: in
my opinion Mr.. Blaine had himself to blame
for the greater part of his sickness. On
reaching here from the North he evidently
ignored the difference of temperature inside
of st. Gothard, where it is most always
warm, and on emerging from it, with some
one and a half metres of snow all around
and the difference of temperature of some
twenty degrees Fahrenheit, Mr.. Blaine neg
lected adding a warm overcoat to his usual
apparel, and in consequence arrived here
with heavy cold, which eliminated in
rheumatic paralysis of one side. While in
this condition Mr.. Blaine gave himself up to
gloomy reflections, tearing chiefly that he
should never more be able to render any
service to his country.
"Mr. Blaine suffered from what is known
as rheumatic paraly ySis, which is not so fatal
as when accompa MED by hemorrhage of the
brain. Still, at his time of lite, with not too
great staying powers and little recuperative
resources, it is surprising the progress he
made. Even at that time he would have
done better yet had he acted on my advice
and stayed here IL little longer. But he be-
came nervous and fancicd that the air in
his rooms poisoned, etc. Yet his
quarters were the very best in the hotel
with a high ceiling and well ventilated
"Mr. Blaine is chiefly hypochondriac. 1t
worried him to think that he should no
longer be able to play part in public affairs,
and his pride could not well reconcile itself
to the inevitable: Thus it happened that
after four weeks stay here and contrary to
my advice he left Florence, where, as YOU
know, he became worse and had to employ
DR.. Baldwin, and where he finally became
convinced of his physical condition and
wrote that now famous letter which sur-
prised us here almost as much as his COM
par at home. In my opinion Mr.. Blaine.
at his time of life, will do well to abstain
from any excitement as only absolute
peace and quietness and rest can secure
him a ripe old age"

Stirring Them Up.

This is what Mellor 6 Hoene are doing to
the musicians and the public generally at
Il Fifth avenue, with the magnificent mu-
Sical instruments which they now have in
stock. People do not attempt to resist the
charms of the Hartlman pianos These
Hardmans have a very satisfying quality
about them-powerful, sympathetic tone
and glorious action. combined with great
durability; the numbers of these pianos sold
run away up in the thousands, and they are
selling faster each year. In addition there
are the fine hrakauer, A. B. Chase and Har-
ringtonS each with its own especial advan-
tageS. Nothing could be finer than the reed
organs shown at the Palace OF Music.
Then there is the wonderful 3olian, which
may be played by the hands or feet, pro-
ducing lovely music under either ciTcum-
stance. Mellor 6 Hoene have an immense
success with these various instruments, and
are kept busy trying, even with their i'm
mense stock, to keep the supply equal with
the demand 1t is natural ii you are stirred
up yourself to get your friends excited in
the same degree, which accounts for the en-
thusiasm displayed by their patrons Mellor
& Hoene understand their business and
what to sell you, and people know it.

GOOD SHOW WEATHER.

The Sudden Change in Temperature Aids
the Exposition-The Battle of Gettys-
burg Once More for To-Day-Some of
the Prominent Exhibits.
the cool weather Of yesterday seemed to
do wonders in the way of enticing people to
the Exposition. 1t is, as all patrons know,
extremely pleasant on hot days, with the
delightful breezes from the river continually
sweeping through the building, Mechani-
cal Hall is always the center of attraction to
the majority OF the visitors, but they find it
far more so in cool weather. Thousands of
people inspected the many interesting sights
i'll the big glass building yesterday. The
roaring furnaces and Steam-Spitting ma
chimes seemed to give IL cord al invitation to
all TO enter and make themselves Mt home.
This evening the Battle of Gettysburg
will be the attraction. 1t will be given with
the same accompaniments as it was some
weeks ago, when the soldier boys of Pitts
burg took an active part in it at the EXPOSE
tion. This will no doubt be the last time the
wonderful musical narrative will be given
this year under the direction of Band-master
Cappa, so everything las been done to make
it a grand success. An excellent programme
of German music will be rendered this
afternoon.

WILL MEET TONIGHT,
Directors of the Local Club VIII Probably

Directors of the Local Club VIII Probably
Discuss the Manager Question.
As stated in yesterdays DISPATCH the di-
rectors of the local club will meet this even
ing to figure on the clubs transactions of
the year. There may also be some talk
about engaging manager for next year, and
if there is, it is to be hoped that Manager
McGunnigle will be engaged for next year
without any trouble.
The directors OF the club have one or two
grave matters before them, which must be
settled before next year; but before discuss
ing them they should free themselves from
all the Influences Of assertions made by
those whose only object is and always has
been to cause disruption in the club no mat
ter who was in power. A President for next
wear will NOT he elected for weeks and
weeks yet, but the question of q change
lry design or otherwise has been sprung at q
time when the evil effects of personalities
will have the worst effect on the club: that
j.. a time when all attention should be de-
voted toward getting some good men Tor
next year. The directors are surely bust
ness men enough to know this, and they also
know that there is not the least cause or
ground for the mentioning of W. W. kerTS
name in connection with the Presidency for
next year. Mr.. Kerr emphatically states
this himself. Like the sound business man
that he Is he states that there is something
more important to do at present than talk
about President
The local baseball public can rest assured
that when the time comes to elect Presi-
good man Will be forthcoming. A club Pres
ident nowadays is required to devote almost
his entire time to the team and is almost
compelled to have an influence in national
discussions and conventions. If President
has not these qualities he is no use at all as a
President. These are facts.

THREE CORPORATE DICTAToRs.
A Sensational Answer TO a Suit Fled
Against q Stakeholder.

Against Stakeholder.
WASHINGTON, PA, Oct. 5.-[SpeciaI 1-Dr. w.
L. McCleary, against whom the Tyler Tube
and Pipe Company, of which he is local
director, recently brou5h 5ht suit on 1000 al
legged to be due on his capital stock sub
scription, filed an interesting answer this
afternoon. which has caused a great SEN
sation. Mr.. McCleary AYERS that 1t IS not
true, as set FORTH that the entire capital
stock was called by the directors on Janu-
ary q, 1891. On the contrary, he claims that
the plaintiff had no legal existence previous
to February 3, 1891, and that no meeting of
the directors at which the question of de-
manding the payment of the capital stock
was discussed, was ever held.
"From the beginning until the present
time" Mr.. McCleary says, civilian L. Tyler,
the President or the company, has assumed
and exercised dictatorial powers, and i'll CON
nection with Charles E. Stone, who is said to
be the representative OF Walter Woodman.
the Treasurer, has conducted the bust
ness in all its departments with
out consulting with the other directors and
without at any time convening the board to
take any official action unon any OF the busl-
ness of the company" The most sensational
feature in the answer, is that McCleary
states that he and the other directors have
repeatedly asked for certain financial
statements, and that their demands have
been utterly ignored by the three gentlemen
managing the works.
