Field Day Contest to BE Decided BY One
Entry.

Field Day Contest to BE Decided BY One
Entry.
The executive committee of the Con-
necticut Y. M. G. A. Athletic Union
met at New Haven last evening to de-
eide the question of protests made
against several of the contestants in the
recent field-day at Charter Oak park.
The protest against Chapman of Hart
ford and the counter protest against the
New Britain entries for not having been
sent in in time were not allowed. The
protest against Kast of Waterbury was
allowed. This gave Hartford second
place. The score al the close of the field
day was New Britain Al, Waterbury
and Hartford 80 each. Throwing cut
lIast brought Hartford up to SO, gave
Bennett of Hartford second place in the
third place in the running broad jump.
The protest against O'Neil of New Bri
tain was allowed. This took off one
point from New Britain. The protest
against Mcmahon of New Haven was al
lowed. This gave two points to Hart
ford and one to Waterbury in the geo
yard hurdle, and gave the second place
in that event to to Lyon of Hartford.
The protest against Page of New Britain
was laid upon the table to give him an
opportunity to prove, as he claimed,
|
teur. Should he be unable to do so, this
will take three points from New Britain
and give the pennant to Hartford by
one point as follows: Hartford SO, New
Britain 81, Waterbury 80, New Haven
"a. With Page reinstated the pennant
will go to New Britain.
Bassett of the New Yorks was always
a weak hitter, but this season he has a
batting average of over 300 and struck
out only five times so far.
McAleer of the Clevelands, is credited
with being the best left fielder in the
League.
Arthur Whitney, of Kelly's Killers
leads the third basemen of the ent ire
country in fielding.
Many League players assert that the
Pittsburg team will not play winning
ball while Ned Hanlon remains at the
helm.
Joe Battin is already IN trouble as &
League umpire. Lynch and McQuade
are the only men on the staff who give
general satisfaction, and they get an oc
casional roasting.

HILLS E SPEECH.

That the speech of Gov. Hill at Elmira
has struck the keynote of the Demo-
cratic national campaign, as THE LEADER
has suggested, is becoming more and
more evident as its effec. anon the coun-
try Is noted. The New York Sun says
of it: With the boldness of political
genius Gov. Hill pushes directly to the
front the very issue which Mr.. Mills
and his Mcgwump hackers. and Mr..
Cleveland and his Muswumu friends. are
doing their utmost to evade and suppress.
until after the next presidential election.
Instead of falling into the assumption on
which their whole canvass Tor the speak
ership aad their proposed canvass for the
presidential nomination are based, namely,
that Democratic unity on the coinage
question Is an Impossibility and that the
question must therefore be lodged, Gov.
Hill shows not only that the question
cannot be lodged, but hat 1t cannot be
made subordinate to the tariff issue, and
ought not to be so subordiuated. 1t is
politics he says. TOR babes aud suck
lings to preach that the gold and SILVER
question should be kept u Of the presi-
Dental election.
More than this, the governor proceeds
with the clearness and precision of a mas
ter Of the art OF expression to show that
the Mugwump assertion that there is no
common ground for the Democrats of the
East and West aud South to take as
against the Republican position on silver
coinage is the widest postulation of folly.
1T is within bounds to affirm that no
document since Mr.. Cleveland's tariff
message of 1887. inviting the Democracy
TO disaster, has been so deeply freighted
with political consequences as this speech
10 which Governor Hill, on the eve OF his
departure from Albany to Washington,
shows the Democracy how disaster can be
achieved and victory won"
, 1891-12-10
THE MESSAGE

The presidents message comprised TO-
800 words. 1t is given pretty fully in
this mornings issue of The LEADER A
good deal of it, particularly that relating
to the tariff and silver. has become more
or less familiar to the general public
through previous u~tterances of the presi-
dent. His illusions to silver show e1-
actIy how and why our Wyoming repro
sentatives SO suddenly became American
silver men. Politics was at the bottom
of it.
The presidents message is like his
speeches. 1t is very smooth and lady
like in its expressions; ID some respects. it
is rather adroit, but it contains nothing
to arouse the enthusiasm of party feeling
or add a line to the intellectual stature OF
Benjamin Harrison.

LOUISVILLE, Dee. 9.-The worst fire
that has occurred in this city for wears,
both as to loss of life and property, started
in two prominent business houses here
this morning. The fires were first discov-
cred in the Boone Paper company aud
MEME & Co. buildings.
The work OF searching for bodies 10 the
building DESTROYED by the fire is still GO
ing on at midnight. The missing firemen
are now believed to be in the ruins OF
the Boone Paper COMPANY building,
wedged between two huge piles OF paper
that filled the cellar. The dead recovered
at MEME & Cos. are: Lulu Klein,
Carrie Luckhardt. Barbara Dell,
Amanda Dickey. VIM. Hulsemeier. Chas.
Kimmel, Clara Ranch and Ida Parker.
The missing and certainly dead at the
Boone Paper company are: Tom Moore,
Sam Baker, viii DAVIS, Tony Schlick,
all of No. l Hook and Ladder company.
James Weinler and Thomas Bechulder,
who worked at Mennes, were also missing
this afternoon, but their relatives have
not been heard from tonight.
The injured are Katie MEG arvev,
Theresa Holthaus, Edward Ininger. Will
lie Grenawsld, Mai. j. Hughes. James
INITIAL, Patrick Sheehv, Allen Grimes,
Henry Weatierford. Fire Chief Hughes
has concussion of the brain. How the
fires originated is still uncertain. There
were only two Office fires at the Boone
Paper company's building and it is certain
the flames originated at neither of these.
At MEME & Co. s a number of fires were
burning, but none account for the starting
of the confederation. 1t is now doubtful
if there was an explosion at Bamberger.
Stern & Co.'S, next door to the Boone
company at the time the 6remen were
caught. 1t is more probable 1t was the
falling OF the walls. 1t is thought the
total loss will reach t~hree-quarters of a
million.

Grave Charge.

Grave Charge.
Emil c. E. Steffens. very slick-ap-
pearing fellow of thrty-fye. was Ian
gushing last evening in one of the cells
of the Central police station, having
been arrested on warrant charged
with the embeZZlement of moneys be-
longing to the ST. Paul Adver-
tising company, POI Endlcott build
ing. George P. Smith q Son,
who conduct the advertising company,
employed SteffenS about month ago to
solicit advertisements for the hanging
cards in the street cars. He was paid
salary and commission, but had no au-
thority to collect any money. The st.
Paul Advertising company's contracts
call for payment of accounts at the end
of each month, and Mr.. Smith Jr. was
very much surprised to find on Tuesday
that SleffenS had collected number of
accounts, in one instance taking a SUIT
OF clothes i'll payment. A warrant
was sworn out for Steffens'
arrest. but he laid low until
yesterday, when one of the firm met
him. and told him that unless he paid
up he would be placed under arrest.
Steffens said he could raise the money,
and went with Mr.. Smith to the house
vi d lduy OI IlcdSdul AVENUE, WIN Ilc
felt sure would pay the sum, about 800.
But the lady declined to pay so dearly
for Mr.. Steffens' acquaintance, and he
was then taken to police headquarters
and locked up. Steffens at one time
had law office i'll the German-Amer-
lean bank building, and is supposed
10 have wife and two children
in the East, but, to GLOBE reporter,
he denied that he was married, or that
he had ever practiced law. He claimed
that he was innocent. and that he had
only been arrested because Mr.. Smith
was little mad" Ste1fens always
dressed in the heigth of fashion, and
every one in the Endicott building
thought that he was the proprietor of
the st. Paul Advertising company on
account of his airs and manners. A tel
egram sent by him to a brother in New
York for money to help him out of his
trouble, ELECTED no reply. He will ap-
pear in the municipal court this morn

SCORED A SUCCESS.
Mr.. Ludwig at the Choral Associa-
tiOn Concert.


The concert by the st. Paul Choral
association last evening in the Peoples
church was excellent in detail as well
as in the special feature, namely, the
singing of the famous baritone, William
Ludwig, of London, Eng. The concert
was the third of a series, and the ex-
cellence of the concerts former
ly given was a sufficient warrant
for attracting good audience,
to say nothing of the desire of lovers of
music to hear Mr.. Ludwig. That gentle
man had been secured for the occasion
at contract price that warranted
good audience to raise the necessary
funds to pay him. The association has
over an hudred voices of ladies and
gentlemen,a land they make fine chorus,
so well are they trained. There were
grouped nicely on the platform. whilst
the orchestra occupied position in
front of the stage. The orchestra
eXcelled itself by last nights renditions.
Mr.. Ludwig said the chorus was excel
lently trained, and the audience seemed
to render similar verdict, Judging
from the applause. But, as said before,
the feature of the evening was the sing
ing of the famous baritone, and he was
repeatedly encored and heartily ap-
plauded at the rests in more than one of
his selections. He was in excellent
voice. Mr.. Ludwig subsequently stated
to GLOBE reporter that the braeing air
of Minnesota had put him i'll excellent
condition. The words of his selections
were clear and distinct and pregnant
with harmony. even in the most difficult
selections from the masters. His sing
ing of LES RaneauX Palaus," =" by Faure,
was the favorite of the evening. Mr..
Ludwig has been in st. Paul before.
He travelled with the celebrated Thom-
as orchestra and with the Carl Rosa
and other opera troupes. The audience
was music-loving one, and went away
much gratifed.
