CINCINNATI, March N.-Somebody has
clipped the wings of the dove of peace. At
least the bird did not futter about the
hauuts of the baseball magnates to-day.
Chris Won der Abe was here, but he kept
squares away from the Grand Hotel, where
A. H. Soden, of Boston; Frank De II. Rob
inson and Davis Hawley, of Cleveland; A.
j. Reach, of Philadelphia; J. Palmer
O'Neil, of Pittsburg; John T. Brush, of
Indianapolis; L. B. Talcott, Of New York;
James A. Hart, of Chicago, and F. Abell and
e. II. Byrne. of Brooklyn, gathered in response
10 a call for special meeting.
1t was after IL o'clock when little Nick
Young, the veteran presiding genius in Ma
tional League councils, arrived from Washing
ton, and ten minutes later delegates from
every club in that body flied into a parlor 10
take turns offering solutions OF the Cincinnati
problem. Hon. Thomas Is. Paxton was there
70 throw legal light upon the many knotty
questions which arose. There was one senti.
ment unanimously expressed. Cincinnati Is in
the League to stay. The gentlemen viii deter
mine other matters Of minor import. The suit
OF Wagner and Prince against johnson and the
League comes up in the Court OF Common
Pleas tomorrow, and the League spent the day
laying down its plan OF defense. The Cleve-
land principal is likely TO come down to-mor-
row. AT any rate he has not yet been paid $50
700. The League expects to fx up the local
club in prescntable shape before the meeting
adjourns John L. Brushs associates in the
kentucky incorporation were In the corridors.
The League delegates remained in session
till O'Clock tonight and then took recess
for supper, after which they met again at $3.50
o'clock. Nothing is known definitely of what
the purpose tins late meeting Is but it is be-
lieved the question discussed ana perhaps de-
cided is whether or not to turn the Cincinnati
club over to the company organized by Mr..
John 4. Brush, of Indianapolis.
Mr.. Charles Byrne, of Brooklyn, said tonight
that the matter under discussion to-day was
whether Mr.. Al johnson could make a good
title to all that he proposed TO turn over to the
League in the way of franchise, etc, OF the
Cincinnati grounds and club This matter is
in the hands of Messrs Paxton and Warning
ton, their attorneys, from whom they hope TO
hear tomorrow forenoon. AT all events, Mr..
Byrne says. the interests of Boston and Phila-
delphia In the Cincinnati club franchise will
be honorably and thoroughly guarded in what
ever conclusion is reached in negotiations with
MIR. Al johnson.

A LIVELY LOCAL FIGHT.

in a Barber's Shop.

Two of Gusky's Statesmen Fight for Purse
in a BARRIERS Shop.
Notwithstanding the vigilance of BurgessReed
to suppress prize fighting of all kinds a lively
little mill" took place last evening in barber's
shop on Fourth avenue. The contestants were
two of Gusky's statesmen and they fought five
rounds for a purse and satisfaction"
They had quarreled and nothing short Of
blood could settle 1t. They got the gloves
from the Fourth avenue fire engine house and
fully 100 persons crowded into the barber's
shop TO see the fight.
While the contest was not scientific the con-
testants banged away at each other with right
and left making the crimson fly copiously. EX-
citement was high, and in the fifth round the
battle ended by one of the fighters committing
hagTant foul. His name is said to be Schu-
man and he was faring very badly. In the
round named he kicked his opponent ID the
stomach. and the referee gave the battle and
the money to the other man because of the
foul. Both men were badly battered about the
face.

SUING FOR INSURANCE DUES.

Farmers and Stock-Raisers Worked Up by
aDoubtful Company's Act.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE DISPATCH,
NEW CASTLE, March 1.-THE farmers and
stock-raisers are up in arms against the COM
pany styling itself "The Union Mutual Live
Stock Insurance Company of Pennsylvania"
Some two or three years ago agents of this
company came into this county and insured
the live stock of hundreds of farmers. For
some reason the farmers became suspicious of
the workings of the company and ceased to pay
their dues and assessments.
There was a clause in each of the policies
that the holder must pay dues as long as the
policies were not returned. This the people
failed to discover, and the company has sued
the holders of the policies. Seventy-eight
judgments have already been issued against
the different farmers. The suits were all
brought to recover back dues and several of
the holders will take their cases to court and
make fight. alleging that the company failed
in several instances to pay for deceased stock
that was insured.

ME-. MILLS, SUGGESTION.
He Proposes That Cash Prizes Be offered
for Amateur Boxing Contests

NEwYoRK, March 27-Referring to his prop
osition for semi-professonal pugilistic contests.
A. 6. Mills makes the following points: "By the
new rules in reference to prizes, diamond
rings, gold watches, etc, are done away with,
and nothing more valuable than a SIS medal or
badge can in the future be awarded. There
fore the incentive to the boxers is gone and
there is apparently nothing for them to do but
to drift into professional pugllism. This
would unQuestionably be bad thing for them
and the public.
Therefore, / make the proposition to put
them on a basis where they can continue to Uo1
under the humane rules of the A A. u, and at
the same time do away with the hypocrisy that
has up to date enveloped these contests. Let
purse OF 500 in money lie offered, S75 to winner
and SIS to loser, and have the affairs conducted
on business plane. The boxers could still
maintain their clubs as they are now, and, in
order TO keep out the professionals, have it pro-
vided that no man who has ever won a purse in
the ring shall be allowed to compete. The New
York Athletic Club would be glad to offer
purses for contests of this sort, and believe
other clubs in this vicinity would do the same"

Will Not Always Be So.

''Do you think that Southern pig iron is
going to be permanent injury to Northern
furnacemen?" Mr. Backman was asked.
mo. I do not" was his reply. "The
reasons why the South is such keen and
active competitor for Northern trade is be-
cause labor is very cheap there, and the sup
plies of fuel and ore SO near to each other
and SO easy Of access and also because the
demand in the South does not begin to equal
the supply OF pig iron.
I'm the next few years Southern labor
will successfully demand the same wages as
are paid in the North. That will remove the
cause OF cheapness, and the develop
ment of manufactures in the Southern
States vii! greatly increase the demand for
pig iron in the South. Both those causes
will operate TO keep the Southern iron at
home and to prevent it from seeking
Northern market SO eageriy as it does now.
Another reason of the present cheapness of
Southern iron is the cheapness of railroad
freight rates as compared with those paid
by Northern furnace men. From the Ma
honing and Shenango valleys to Chicago the
rate has been S2.20 per gross ton. From
Tennessee and Alabama, which are,
roughly speaking, three times as far away,
the freight rate is usually about S4 per gross
ton. 1t is now S4 per gross ton, and from
March 3O to August 81 this year it will be
So IS per gross ton.
An Equalization of Rates.
A reduction to that extent has lust been
announced TO correspond to the reduction
which has recently been made for the same
period on the roads leading from the
Mahoning and Shenango valleys and
Pittsburg to Chicago. The Southern
railways greatly favor the Southern
manufacturer. The rate at times has been
as low'as So 65 per gross ton. but they may
not always do that. They may, and proba-
bly, will, exact the same rate per ton Der
mile that is paid to railroads in the North,
and the effect OF that will be, of course, to
enhance to that extent the price OF Southern
iron and render its competition less danger
Gus to US.
There is no reason why Northern furnace
men need be discouraged at the outlook, and
one significant evidence that they are not
discouraged is the fact that youngstown
and Pittsburg and Chicago capitalists have
just built and are just about to put in blast
large new furnace in South Chicago. The
1roquois Furnace Company, which is the
name under which they are incorporated,
will start work as soon as the coke strike is
settled. They have fine plant, AID will
turn out about 10000 tons every year for
the home market.

"Browning was led to believe that no player

he admitted that he had accepted Pittsburg's
