ADJOURNED THE MATCH.
Collenge Throws Reilly Once and Lack of
Time Stops Their Contest.

| Time Stops Their Contest.
| There was a very large attendance, about
| $500 worth, and any amount of excitement at
| the wrestling match last evening between Ed
Reilly and the unknown, who is now claimed
to be Reuben Collenge. The men were on tho
carpet from S;55 to ll:5O. when the match was
postponed, Collenge having one fall to his
| credit.
The contest was for most of the time splen-
| did one Reilly displaying remarkable strength
| in breaking holds and Collenge displaying won-
| derful art in getting the holds. The conditions
were the best two of three falls catch-as-catch-
| can style, for $3.50 side and the receipts. The
contest took place in New Turner Hall. Allie
| gheny, and the audience was thoroughly rep
| resentative one. There was a strong force of
policemen present, and excepting the excite
ment at intervals there was nothing that could
be termed disorderly conduct. The excitement
consisted of cheers and shouts for the competi-
| tors. Mr.. P. Daily acted as referee and did
well.
When the wrestlers faced each other they
compared well for size and condition. Each
was within pound of lbs pounds. and they
both had determination marked on their faces.
Reilly began cautiously and soon Collenge
forced matters. 1t was soon evident that he
knew more about the business than the Twelfth
warder and he repeatedly secured some very
dangerous holds. These were repeatedly
broken by Reilly. Time and time again Reilly
broke the "half Nelson almost as soon as
Collenge got it on. Finally after wrestling

and after keeping it a short time threw Refill
four or five feet across the carpet. landing him
square on his shoulders. "One fall for the Un-
known" said the referee. The fall was gained
in IS minutes.
After ten minutes rest the contestants faced
each other again. Reilly was still chiefly on
the defensive, but once or twice secured d leg
hold but it was of little avail against his tricky
opponent. The men wrestled on and on until
matters becam~ exceedingly monotonous and
when ll:30 arrived the referee ordered an al
journment. He will decide tomorrow after
noon whether or not the contest is to be con-
tinued.
1t is unfortunate that definite result one
way or the other in the way of victory and de-
feat was not reached, But SO far the contest
has proven that Pittsburg has in Reilly one of
the best Lightweight, wrestlers in the world.
He has had comparatively little experience,
and his performance last evening stamps him
a remarkable little wrestler. 1t is to be
hoped that the contest will be continued to a

An Important Decision.

A very important decision has been arrived
at by the directors of the Kentucky Trotting
Horse Breeders Association, and one which
will have in all probability far reaching con Sc
quences. 1t has been decided that in all three
in five races, after the third heat horses not
having won heat will be sent to the stable, no
matter how many start. The distance in all
three in five races will be 100 yards 1t was also
decided that in all two in three races after the
second heat horses not having won heat will
be sent to the stable. The distance III two in
three races was fixed at so yards. This is re-
form which has often been advocated. 1t will
cut the evil of dropping heats to a minimum.
through the medium of the books and the
mutuels, and will tend very greatly to make
every heat a race. The experiment will be
watched with the closest interest, and if sue
cessful, as 1t ought to be, will lead to big re.
form all along the line.

The English War Office Orders Canada to
Strengthen Its Militia.
OTTAWA, April 4-Two important an
nouncements confirm the previous statement
that General Herbert, the new Commander
iD-Chief of the Canadian militia,
brought special instructions from
the English War Office to speed
lily strengthen the defenses of Canada and
prepare for necessity of putting large
force in the field. A request to the Govern
ment, which has the force of a command, is to
double the usual appropriation this year for
drill. so that the entire force of As, 600 men
can be thoroughly drilled in June. Never
before has the number of men drilled ex-
ceeded 20, 900 men.
Secondly, General Herbert left to-day for
Halifax to confer with General Sir John
Ross, Commander of the Royal troops in
Canada, with respect to the defenses of the
Atlantic coast, particularly at Halifax,
where new fort has been constructed. One
32-ton gun has recently arrived at Halifax
from England, and three others are about
to be shipped. These are the largest guns
on this side of the Atlantic

GOULD AND WANAMAKER
Discuss Subsidy Grants, Telegraph Tolls
and Other Matters.

Discuss Subsidy Grants, Telegraph Tolls
and Other Matters.
WASHINGTON April 4.-Jay Gould and
his son George had a long conference with
Postmaster General Wanamaker to-day.
The question of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Line, of which George
Goul1 is President, in connec-
tion with the new postal subsidy act. was
discussed. Mr.. Gould stated that he was
willing to guarantee that whatever money
might be granted the steamship company
under the act would be expended in creating
new lines. The question of rates on Govern
ment telegraph business from July 1, 1891,
was also discussed, as was the question Of
increased mail facilities ON the Union Pa
ci6c Railroad.
Telegraph tolls, however, was the princi-
pal theme of the talk. Next June will be
two years since Mr.. Wanamaker fixed the
schedule of rates which the Govern
ment should pay the Western Union
for the telegraph service. The Western
Union refused to accept these
rates, but continued to perform the
service. The consequence is that the
Government has paid nothing for its use
of the telegraph since that time, and the
amount now due the company has reached
large proportions. Mr.. Gould talked the
matter over with Mr.. Wanamaker but no
definite conclusion was reached.

Though Untutored, He Can Instantly Solve
Intricate Mathematical Problems.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsP AroH,
WASHINGTON, PA, April 4-Washington
county has prodigy IN the person of Charles
Lewellyn. Young Lewellyn is genius of the
lightning calculator stripe. He lives with his
parents near California. small town on the
Monongahela river. Charles is only about
years old, and appears even younger. The
child knows absolutely nothing about even the
lower branches of study, with the exception of
arithmetic and the knowledge he possesses
upon this subject he certainly did not obtain
from teachers.
Young Lewellyn's ability in calculations was
discovered by accident. Two of California's
residents were. not long ago, engaged in con.
versatIon relating to the purchase of a farm
When the matter of summing up the interest
and principal was arrived at, one of the gentle
men commenced to make calculation with
paper and pencil when young Lewellyn, who
was standing near by. informed them of the
correct figures. The boy was asked how he ar
rived at the answer, and his reply was: al
don't know how did it. just know what the
answer will be-" Further investigation de-
veloped the fact that the 5-year-old boy was
ready with almost any mathematical problem
however difflc ult, that might be put to him.
He can be asked to double. triplesor Quadruple
any number. and almost before the Questioner's
lips are closed is ready with the correct answer
He is equal to the most difficult problem of
mathematics.

KING HAS JUMPED.
The St. Louis Pitchers Position No Longer
Remains in Doubt.

The st. Louis Pitchers Position No Longer
Remains in Doubt.
The new charge preferred against Mark Bald
win by Won der Abe leaves no doubt regarding
the position of Pitcher King. 1t is now charged
that Mark did induce King to jump his conr
tract with the St. Louis Browns" This means
that King has engaged to play with League
team.
A day OF two ago THE DISPATCH exclusively
stated that King had expressed himself to the
effect that he did not want to play in the Asso-
cation, and that his contract with the st. Louis
club invalid because of being wrongly
drawn up. But it can be proven that Baldwin
had nothing whatever TO do in Influencing
Kings mind against the Association because
King has for very long time past declared his
hatred toward Won der Abe and his gang
1t is to 4 great extent a mystery as to the
League club King will play in. One authority

are named.

NOT AN IDLE RUMOR,
But a P reelection That Has Been
Proven True.
NOTHING BUT FACTS.

CURING from La Grippe only serves to verify
the statement made 10 our readers last week,
Where there is existing catarrhal symptoms
there La Grippe and many other serious dis
eases, such as bronchitis. pneumonia and con-
sumption, find favorable footholds. The sys-
tenn is weakened by the stealthy action of ca
tarrh and the patient, when attacked by dis.
ease, falls an easy victim to its consequences,
Now, as a systemic catarrhal condition predis-
poses a patient to the attacks of disease, the
conclusion reached is this: That means should
be employed to rid the system of all catarrhal
condirions thereby enabling the patient to sue
cessfuly cope with attacking disease. Drs.
Copeland and Biair's treatment is the only
means by which catarrhal troubles can be sue.
cessfully cured, and results have always yert-
fed this claim.

Miserable Weather Prevents His Team
From Practicing Out at Denver.
DENVER. April 4.-The miserable weather of
the past week has given Adrian Z. Anson a fit
of the dumps. He is not favorably impressed
with the beauty of Colorado's climate. For
nearly week his corral or colts has not been
let loose, and the players have had no oppor-
tunity for getting 10 shape for the big struggle
they will soon engage in. Ryan, Willmot. An
sOn, hittridge and Foster find relief at the
billiard table. The others read, play cards and
indulge in professional "reminiscences. There
are already rid of the bed of snow. The chances
are now very favorable for a ball game Satur-
day. 1t is more than probable that Chicago
and Denver VIII play every day next week.
Anson will start East one week from Saturday
and must have some practice before that time.
