The tiny girl baby of George W. and Ella Jones,
| colored of jefferson, Frederick county, that

her husband, John W. Waugh, in the head, is lying
critically i'll and is not expected to recover Some
time on Sunday or Sunday night she wanted

take One Of the female prisoners has been in the
habit of giving the pill to her but this occasion

Instead of taking one Mrs. Waugh upset the bottle
in her hand and it is thought she took from twenty
five to thirty pills On Monday night she was
unconscious, and had not taken any nourishment,
except two tablespoons of milk, which she was
made TO swallow. Her husband, John w. Waugh,
spent the night at the jail account of her serious

with him and take care of her. He also said that
he told her to shoot him, but would not assign any
reason for telling her TO do it.

NEW YORK, March 1T is said On good
authority that John T. Brush has had serious
falling out with his League partners. He did
not attend the League meeting on Thursday in
spite of the fact that he was reported as

cinnati the support financially of the other
League clubs and the balance of the S6O,OQO

Strong Desire to Have a New Baseball Or
gaDization Formed Right Away.
,spRcIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE DISPATCH,
EAST LIVERPOOL, March The proposed
Ohio Valley Amateur League continues to be
the prevailing topic of discussion among base
ball people in the Ceramic City. and the uni
versal opinion seems to he tnat, if properly or
ganized and carried out in bus.Eesslike man.
ner it would be success WIKI an eight-club
league and a five-eame schedule, to be played
on Saturdays and holidays, the patronage at
East Liverpool would far exceed expenses.
The short Jumps between towns would draw 4
goodly crowd of fans" with each visiting club,
in addition To the increased patronage attached
by the animated rivalry which would naturally
exist between the clubs in the struggle for
championship honoTs. The Crochery City
Baseball Association Is probably in better shape

tion in the valley as they already have grounds
in shape and are strongly organized, with
plenty OF good material from when 10 select
fiTst-class team.
The consolidation of the Crockery City and
Eclipse clubs has brought all the desirable ma
teriai under one management and we would
have no fear of being able to make great
fight for the honors when the season opens.
To bring the proposed league down to some
thing of 4 practical nature it is suggested TO
have a meeting in the near future at some cen
trally located place (probably StubenvIlle) and
effect an orcaiIzation. II the different man
ayers along the valley from Bellaire to Roches-
Ter will communicate with w. A. Calhoun, East
Liverpool. as soon as sufficient nnmper Is
heard from a date will b. announced aud
meeting called. We would be pleased to hear
from the following places: Bellaire, Wheeling
Martins Ferry, WeilsburG, Mingo. StubenVllle,
Toronto. Beaver. Rochester. Pnillipsburg and
Beaver Falls. Some Of these might fail to en-
ter, but it is safe to say that eight clubs could
be induced to JON in giving the towns named a
better class of ball playing than ever before. 1t
certainly would NOT Ue a great undertaking TO
guarantee expenses to visiting CLUBS Tor the
regular Saturday games with an aodltlonal
peT rentage tor Decoration Day and July
Fourth. East Liverpool stands ready to do her
share, so speak out gentlemen, and let us know
who will help us in an effort TO give satlstac-

the Difficulty in Cincinnati
:epEcIA1 TELEGRAM THE DISPAToH.I
New YORK, March The baseball mag
mates are still in the city and scheming in a
very quiet way. They are in just as big a
Quandary as ever over the Cincinnati question
in fact, more so. Before they get through. if
they do not stop what is called funny busi-
ness" they may have to call on Oshkosh to
come in and complete the circuit. They have
devoted the whole week to the question, and
the only outcome was another fight. They
have had a falling out with John I. Brush, if
what is said can be believed. OF course, they
cannot be blamed for not desiring to be
squeezed. but that does not prevent them
from going ahead and fixing up the Cincinnati
matter.
Nobody knows what will be the outcome. An
effort will undoubtedly be made about the
time the season opens to gain possession OF
the club that johnson claims to control. He
can figh: the case, however. and keep the mat
ter in the courts. Then who will nut up money
for the club? johnson has claimed to control
the present Cincinnati club for two months.
He has been laughed at by the magnates, and
instead of taking the matter in hand at once
and finding whether the New York, Brook
lyn and Chicago people, who also claim to hold
the controlling interest, could really control
the club according to law, they allow matters

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCu.y


JoHNsTowN, March 7.-All depart
ments of the Cambria Iron Works are shut
down to-day, owing to tine fact that the
natural gas supply has been permanently
smut off. The officers of the Cambria Com
pany are greatly surprised at the action of
the gas company, as they say they only had
two hours notice of their intentions. The
gas company officers will not give any
reason for thus breaking their contract. but
it is understood they had determined to in
crease the supply for domestic uses.
Twill be remembered that they took
similar action with the Johnson Company
last year, shutting off their gas at the point
of a pistol. The Cambria Company will
only be temporarily embarrassed, as they have
nearly completed arrangements to make their
own gas by the Archer process.
