loss of the city and injury OF every taxpayer.
The bill is filed against those officers and
agents who have been derelict in their duties
and others who seem to be necessary parties
and who have been willing to perform their du-
ties. The Councils might have been made par
ties but are not necessarily SO under the facts
alleged In the bill. We are unable to see any
good reason for making the bondhOlders par
ties. 1t does not necessarily follow that bill
is multlfarlous because all the parties may not
not be interested in all the questions raised or
all the relief prayed for.
In this case the money belonging to the sink

for, and its management is the subject matter
of the complaint. In one way or another all
the parties defendant are connected Herewith

1t better to have their answers. All the de-

And now, March IA, 1891. after argument, the
demurrers of the respective defendants are

The Chicago Ex-Amateur Sculler Makes an
Offer to Dennis Donohue.
CHICAGO. March l4-Dennis Donohue, of
Hamilton, Ont, the eN-amateur champion oars
man of America, some time ago expressed a
desire to make a sweepstakes match with John
Corbet and Erastus Rogers for 500 or $500 a
corner. Corbet and Rogers, Ike himself, were
recently disqualified by the governing body in
amateur aquatics Rogers, who is now at
Saratoga, has not been heard from on the sub
ject, but Corbet stated yesterday that he
would like nothing better than to meet his old
rival in a match race of a mile and half with
. turn over the Pullman course.
"Donohue," said Corbet, blanks upon his en-
-durance, and, therefore, fancies a three-mIle
distance. but as the amateur championship has
always been decided in a mile and half with
turn, and as both of US are accustomed to
that distance. l don't think he can interpose
any reasonable objections. l don't think he
can object either 10 Lake Calumet. as it was
that body of water he defeated me for the
championship. We can secure just as advant-
ageous terms at Pullman Decoration Day. the
day would stipulate, as al Burlington beach
or any of the other courses that have been
mentioned. ! am not opposed TO three-cor-
nered sweepstakes, but race like that would
be difficult to arrange. don't think Donohue
can beat me over the championship route; at
any rate, am willing to bet $500 he can't"

ABOUT MIKE KELLY.
A Rumor That He May Be Secured by the
Cleveland Club.

A Rumor That He May Be Secured by the
Cleveland Club.
CLEVELAND, March 4-At a meeting held
Thursday morning the Cleveland club decided
to get Mike Kelly for its 1881 team if possible
and pay him large salary to come here. Al
johnson was delegated to get him here if pos
sible. Before johnson wired him to Cincinnati
Kelly telegraphed to johnson that he had
signed with the Association.
Nevertheless, dispatch calling him here
Friday was sent him. He was expected but SO
far has not shown up. The Cleveland clubs
idea was that despite the Kings eccentricities
he was good drawing card, and would
strengthen the team. The chances are that he
is out of range. The Cincinnati League people
on Tuesday offered him blank contract to fill
out, and Kelly agreed to sign it if George Slney
was engaged as business manager and Tom
LOTUS sent to some other club.
The Cincinnati people would have agreed
even to this. but Kelly got away, and, after a
lot of jollyiug, signed with the Association peo-
pie. He may drift away yet. as his contract is
probably in his pocket. He signed with the
Players Leage of 1890 and pocketed the con-
tract, and agreed 10 go to the Boston League
Club month ago, but kept the agreement in
his pocket. If he stays'in the Association Kelly
will probably play in Boston.

Some Interesting Pointers About the Six
Contestants of the Tournament.
Tomorrow afternoon the much-talked-of
billiard tournament will commence in the
Grand Central Rink The Philadelphia players
will arrive here this morning, and the Stroup
trophy will be here tomorrow. A few words
about the visiting players will no doubt be of
interest
Edward Mclaughlin. of Philadelphia, was
born in Philadelphia November Is. 1853 His
billiard experience began in 1861 as an employe
in room in the above named city. In 1865 he
went to Alliance, O., where he was engaged
nrst as an assistant in a hotel and finally as its
manager. In 1876 he returned to Philadelphia,
and again entered the billiard business, this
time as proprietor of a small room with two
tables. In this venture he was successful. He
ran this room for about one year, and in the
following year secured a hall with twice as
many tables, and this room was also success.
Ed. as he was called had. during this short
time in the business, made many friends, ard
had become very popular with all his patrons.
He has gradually worked his way up TO the
front, both as business man and player, and
is now champion of his native State.
Edward Burris was born in Plymouth, Bucks
county. this State, October q, 1857. He first
entered the billiard business at the Girard
House, Philadelphia, in 1875 when the billiard
room there was under the management of the
late Thomas +. Doyle. Young Burris remained
there one year, when he was engaged by the
late John Noonan to manage his room on the
ground floor of the Girard House. where Bur
ris remained two years, when he returned to
manage the Girard House room. Burris re-
manned at the Girard House for one year when
he retired to. or rather transferred his fortunes
to Blanchard's pool room Eighth street.
near SAMSON. Philadelphia. Shortly after
ward he was Ioupd in charge of the room at
Dechert's HOTEL Baltimore, which room con-
tanned four tables. Leaving that place he was
next located in a room on West Fayette street
in the same city.
In 1887 Mr.. Burris permanently located in
Philadelphia, and since that time has made a
great record as player and has won several
valuable prizes.
Mr.. Cline is also a native of Pennsylvania,
players, Messrs. Bushart Walker and Dodds
are all well known by Pittsburgers. Mr.. Dodds

DEMURRER 0VERRULED.

Judge Ewing's Decision in the Case of W. j.
Howard Against the City Handed Down
Yesterday-The City VIII File Its An
swer.
Judge Ewing yesterday handed down his
opinion, overruling the demurrer in the case
OF w. J. Howard against the city of Pitts
burg, the Finance Committee and others.
His opinion follows:
We do not deem it necessary to enter into a
discussion at length of the matters suggested
on argument of these demurrers as to The de-
murrers riled by the hanks named as code
PENDANTS. We are of tho opinion that, in case
a final decree should be entered against the
city or its officers named, these banks, being
the repositories of the funds, are proper parties
to the bill. Not that they would or could be
decreed to set apart the money OF the sinking
fund as special deposit not to be used by them
as depositors or used by banks, but it may be.
come necessary to set apart and designate a
part of the deposit with each of these banks as
belonging especially to the sinking fund and
subject to special checks only. 1t is alleged as
cause for demurrer that the bill contains i'm
pertinent and scandalous matter. That Oues-
tion should be raised by exceptions to the bill
and should be before demurrer or answer
certainly before argument on demurrer. 1t is
not ground for demurrer. 1t is to be observed
that neither scandal nor impertinence how
ever gross it may be, is ground of demurrer,
it being maxim Of pleading that 'utile per in
ute non vitatur."
The demurrers admit all the material alleea
tons contained in'the bill. and all the in
ferences that can be fairly drawn from tue facts
charged. The bill sets forth the constitutional
and statutory duty of the city to establish and
keep up the sinkinalfund. and to invest in Ger.
tain securities the moaetraised for this sinking
fund.
The fundamental and historical idea of the
sinking fund is not money uninvested, but in
yestments in securities bearing interest, The
bill alleges that in accordance with an act of
Assembly Councils by ordinance authorized
the Contro oller to invest the moneys of the sink.
ing fund in certain securities. but coupled the
order TO the Controller with discretion in
another body-tne Financial committee not Au-
thorzed by the said act of Assembly,; that this
committee, regardless of the act Of A ssembly
which required the money due the sinking fund
to be invested. have deliberately refused to
permit it 10 be invested, although it could be
and should have been invested, SO as to produce
per cent per annum, and that this has been
done in order to let money accumulate unlaw.
fully to the amount of Sl00O,000 and over, for
the benefit Of the banks and other parties in.

LOCAL FOOTBALL GAMES.
Some Lively Contests and Lots of Kicking
at Recreation Park.


at Recreation Park.
It was excellent football weather Yesterday
and as a result there were two lively and excit-
ing League games at Recreation Park The
bout was between the Pittsburg team and the
Eurekas, OF Allegheny. Few who knew any
thing about the respective merits of the teams
expected the Eurekas to win and consequently
their defeat was no surprise. But the van
quIshed team played a great game and al
kept the Pittsburgers pretty busy during the
contest. Fred Goodwin was referee and gave
good satisfaction.
The result was 8 goals to 0 in favor of Pitts
burg. These goals were made by good play
and demonstrated the fact that the vii "A ~
team was decidedly superior to their oppuneI. s.
Two Ofthe goals were made by Woods men,
Der OF the New Castle team He played center
forward and played it well, indeed Boyce, left
wing forward, did good work and SO did T. j.
Smith. who played back. As usual the brothers
Macpherson played an excellent game. The
general play of the Pittsburg team was such as
TO greatly inspire the players with strong hopes
of winning the pennant.
The second contest was between the ALLIE
gheny Thistles and the Bawrenceville team.
Mr.. Goodwin again acting referee. The
TbIStles TO the surprise of everybody, played
like demons and soon had the score standing
objectinC and wrangling during the entire con-
test. Finally de cision of the referee regard
ing foul ball caused a halt ten minutes before
the time was up. The score was then To l in
favor of the Thistles and it was impossible for
the DawrenceviIle's to win. They had
been Outplayed by the remarkable
combination work Of the Allegheny team and

SUED THE NOBLE DRIVERS.
Lord Lonsdale's Sport Gets Him Into
Trouble With a Magistrate.
rBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANYI

rBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANYI
LONDON, March H.-Lord Lonsdale's feat in
driving and riding % miles in four different
heats in something under one hour on snow
covered ground. attracted some notice in sport
ing circles. But all genHine:interest was taken
out of the performance when the match with
Earl Shrewsbury fell through. The blame for
the back-down has been variously apportioned;
but as Shrewsbury twice postponed the match
for Lonsdale's convenience, the latter had little
right TO grGmble when Shrewsbury declined to
race upon the umpire's declaring the road IN
fit. Lonsdale's communications on the subject
were couched in a tone rather discourteous
even for British peer and arIstocrats support
Shrewsbury in declining to race under the cir
cumStances.
This afternoon a rural m agistrate granted a
summons against Lonsdale for furious driv-
ing on public road" and he will have to ap-
pear in answer to the charge next Saturday.
Lorsdale. by the way, divided Shrewsburv's
forfeit of fl00 among three charities of Reigate
where the drive occurred and London fund
for disabled cab drivers.

the decision of the referee concerning the foul
ball was considered absolutely just by the spec
tators. In spite of all this Captain Powell very
foolshly took his men from thc field and the
game was given against them by to l. There
is no excuse for taking team off the field, and
it is NOT the way to conduct football games
when a decision is given.
The Mcdonald team went to Homestead, but
the team of that place did not appear. The
former club was therefore, given the game. A
game WAS scheduled TO take place between
Shaner and the East End teams, but the latter
could not get their men together and victory
was awarded to Shaper.
