WAGNER SAYS SOMETHING.
He Points Out How He Can Hold Shindle
for Two Years,

He Points Out How He Can Hold shindle
for Two Years.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. &-President Wag.
.ner, of the Athletics. was not a little vexed
over Shindle's flop to the League. SAID he:
Now have something to say about this mat
ter, and neither Shndle nor Griffin will play
with any other club excepting the one Of
which i am President without my consent
have three-year contracts with both
players and will enforce them.
Both players signed three-year contracts
with my club last spring. and these contracts,
according to Judge Thayer's decision in the
Pickett case, are binding. In addition to these
club contracts have personal contracts with
them, Last fall had draw wn up by our lawyers
three personal contrats with Griffin. Shinule
and Mulyey for a term of three years, and
these contracts bear the signatures of the three
players mentioned and are legal beyond a
doubt. Thus you see will have the say as to
where Shindle and Griffin will play. The lat
ter was flooded with offers from League clubs
last week, and the latest reports l have had
from him is that Boston offered him salary of
5000"
The fight between the Association and
League will, outside of the players, perhaps
benefit no one excepting the lawyers, who will
likely reap rich harvest from it. as there will
be a number of lawsuits instituted by the clu bs
OF the former against those of the latter or
gaaizaton between now and the opening of the
championship season.
Another case for the lawyers was furnished
to-day when the local agent for the Pittsburg
club went over to Princeton. n. j., and signed
Third Baseman Reilly TO League contract.
Reilly was signed by Lawyer Elliott, of this
was the first contract he had signed for the
coming season Mr.. Elliott claims that it is
binding and Reilly will have to play with the
Buckeyes this year or remain idle.

ESPECIAL TEL BGRAM TO THE DJsr PATCH.
ALLENTOWN, Feb. 2S.-In the anti Bow
man Conference little outside of the routine
business was transacted. A letter from the
deposed Bishop. Dubs, was read and pro-
duced profound impression. In it he said:
81 know you will do right. We must stand
firm and look to God for help. The old
Evangelical Association, as it was estab-
lished by our fathers, must and will be
maintained"
In the Bowman Conference it was resolved
that all those members OF the East Pennsyl-
vania conference who participated in the at
tempt to prevent Bishop Bowman from pre-
siding at this session of the Conference, and
by their action have sanctioned the forcible
and unlawful exclusion of the Bishop from
the church where the Conference was ap-
pointed to be held, shall be considered
located, subject to such action as
may be taken by the General
Conference of the Evangelical Association.
The laymen OF the anti-Bowman Conference
have organized defense bureau to raise
money to pay court expenses and lawyers
fees The Bowman Conference decided to
meet next year at Morristown. Postmaster
Stopp appeared before the Conference with
letters from officers of the anti-Bowman Con-
ference, notifying the Bowmanites to report
at Ebenezer Church for appointments as
pastors.
Bishop Bowman said: "We are laboring
with wonderful rebellion in the Church,
and we can hit only right straight from the
shoulder. Those who are engaged in this
tremendous conspiracy have forfeited all the
ri ghts they otherwise possessed"

They Fear to Inform on SaIoonkeeper
Who Daubed Pictures on Church.
ESPECIAL TKLEGRAM To THE DIsPArca.:
WILLIMANfIC, Feb. 28.-The vandal
who daubed widows pictures in black paint
on the walls Of the white Congregati ON al
Church at Storr's Village. was detected in
his depredations by artesian welldiggers at
midnight last Sunday. Connected with the
vandalism is a strange story,of misdeeds by
a band of local desperadoes in Manifold.
All the time the farmers of the town knew
pretty we'll who the members of the band
were, but so much did they fear them that
no one dared give testimony against them.
The prisoner is james Costello, saloon
keeper of Eagleville, and he is under S4O0
bonds pending his appeara nee tor trial be-
fore the Superior Court. Next he was ar
rested charged with violating the license
liquor law and fined $50 and costs.

PETE'S BIG DEMAND.
The Gladiator Wanted 1000 to Come and
Play on the Local Team.

The Gladiator Wanted 81 900 to Come and
Play on the Local Team.
Messrs O'Neill and HanIon were once more in
gay spirits yesterday, although after making
strong bid for Pete Browning they lost him. The
gladiator came on the scene Unexpectedly.
Hecker wired FresidenIO'N ELL yesterday morn
ing to the effect that he had signed Pitcher
Stratton, and that he could sign Browning at a
certain figure. presumably g. 500. Hecker was
informed to sign Browning at the latter's own
terms. in other words PeDe's terms were
accepted.
In the meantime AL johnson arrived in ST.
Louis and had a talk with poor Pete, and the
la ter was soon deluded from the path of
sa fety. As a result Hecker wired President
O'Neill yesterday afternoon to the effect that
1000 President O'Neill nearly took fit at
this. and Immediately wired Hecker to the
effect that Browning could get no such salary
from the Pittsburg club, and that his own
terms had already been accepted. Last even
ing Hecker again wired Mr.. O'Neill telling the
latter to inform President Young that Brown
ing's terms had been accepted by PittsbuIg.
This means that Pete must play here if he
PLAYS in a national agreement club. 1t also
means that he has likely resolved to play with
the revolters as long as they last

TORN FROM THE FLAMES.

Three People Slightly Burned in an Ale
gheny Midnight Fire-Heroic Rescue of
Miss Nelson-R- g. W. Jenkinson, the
Ordeal
At 11:40 last night general alarm was
sent out from box 50. Allegheny, for fire
at r. & w. W.Jenkinson's tobacco store, at II
Federal street. The fire lasted until 1890,
and the damage will not exceed $1,000.
The fire originated in the third story of
No. II, in Myhitta & Lore's photograph
gallery. The other occupants OF the build
ing are R. and w. Jenkinson s. Co, the
firm which was burned out at the Maginn
fire, R. Nelson & Co., tailors, and Mrs.
Crilly's employment agency. Both Mrs.
CriIly and Mr.. Nelson and his family live
in the building.
The fire was discovered bv Mrs. Crilly,
who was awakened by something falling in
the photograph gallery. Then the flames
were creeping through the ceiling of her
room. She gave the alarm, and the depart
ment responded at once, but before they ar
rived the flames had spread to the adjoining
building, No. SO, which is occupied by
Wylie & Schreiber's grocery on the first
floor, and on the other two floors by roomers
Just as the iremen burst open the door of
the photograph gallery there was an ex-
plosion OF some of the chemicals. Fireman
John Wills, of Good Will Engine Com
pany, had his face badly burned, as also did
Harlem Woodhouse, of Pittsburg. Then
they discovered that the daughter of Mr..
Nelson was imprisoned in her room. The
men. although they were suffering from
their burns, knocked down the door just as
the flames burst into the room. Miss
Nelson's hair and face were burned before
she could be taken out, but her injuries are
not considered serious.
!, As the fire was confined to the top stories
of the two buildings it was easily managed,
and the principal damage was from water.
Both buildings are three-story brick
structures. They have frontage of 40 feet
on Federal street and extend back to Ex-
celsior alley, a distance of about 100 feet.
The buildings are valued at $40, 900. and
IS, 900 will fully cover all the loss. Every
thing is covered BY insurance. The women
were cared for by the neighbors, and Harlem
Woodhouse sent to the Buchanan House at
Seventh street and Penn avenue.
