Mrs. De Croix Tells How Her Husband was
Killed on the Wedding Day.
An elderly lady, with striking face pari-
ally concealed behind white veil, attracted
considerable attention at the Union depot
last evening. She was accompanied by a
pretty maid with dark eyes, who attended
to all her needs. The woman was Mrs Helen
Aldrich De Croix, a blind authoress of some
note. She said she had no home. but was
now on her way to Canton, to visit friends
for awhile, and from there she would 90 to

Mrs De Croix is a woman with remark
able history. She is now 73 years old, and
was born in Rochester, N. Y. According to
her story she was married 46 years ago, in
New York, to a Frenchman named De Croix,
and while returning from the church in
carriage, the horses ran away, and her
husband Of only few minutes was thrown
out and killed. She escaped unhurt, but the
shock and her grief were SO great, that she
was attacked by severe fever. After six
weeks of suffering, she arose from sick-bed
with her eye-sight gone. Since then she has
travelled extensively, and makes her home
wherever it suits her inclination. Mrs. De
Croix spent last winter in Pittsburg, and
she spoke of her stay in this city with good
deal of pleasure. The unfortunate accident
made deep impression on her, and she has
never recovered fully from its effects. She

can hit hard, and is as active as Fitzsim-

Carroll has grown very enthusiastic over
his man and says: "I will bet a pile of
money that Griffin will win. L know what

Jimmie further claims that he never both

the same way with his feather-weight. He
says his experience is that the more a
trainer dogs the footsteps of his man the
more inclined he will be to evade his work.

they will only use the genuine Johann

most excellent, as not only the breast

causes the secretion of milk to in

The Gorman-Comer Lightweight Meeting
No Good at All.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 9.-[Special ED Cor
man, of Buffalo, and Tommy Conner, Of Gin
cinnati, two lightweights of some note,
fought at the Casino tonight for 81 900
side and the gate receipts. It was hippo
drome in all the word implies Many
sporting men had been called here from
Buffalo. Cincinnati Chicago and other
points, expecting to see finish fight, and
there was promise that such would be the
case. 1t developed, however, before the
contest was on, that Conner had been lush
ing all dav and was in no condition to enter
the ring, and German did him in short order
by forcing the fight.
The two first rounds consisted of an effort
on the part of Conner to avoid punishment,
and in the third he was forced to the grass.
As he tried to get up he received another
side cnt and feigned exhaustion. The fight
was then given to German. Every one con-
nected with the affair was denounced as
fakirs, and it is generally understood the
close was arranged in advance. German is
the man who was put in as ringer at
Buffalo, on which contest Elton Chamber
lain made winning and litigation followed
over the affair.

FOOTBALL RULES.
An Eastern Authority Explains why Some
Changes Should BE Made.

An Eastern Authority Explains why Some
Changes Should DC Made.
Discussing football rules writer in the
New York VtorId says:
The American game of football has now
heen reduced 20 science Every team of
any prsteuticus plays the general style of
game. What is needed is a clear and con-
else SET of rules The changes which are
made from year to year are welcome, but
they come slowly. As they now stand the
rules are but skeletons Last fall they
voted 20 make the ball dead after trv at
the goal from a touchdown. This was q
sensible move, but there are many more
formal and scnseless strictions which should
rc stricken out.
Take, ior instance. the rule which, bv the
wav, is only an implied rule, which forces a
man to hold the ball from the ground be-
fore place kick for goal Why not let
him pnt it on the ground and wriggle it
around to suit the taste of the kicker, in
stead Of holding it on two fingers and let
ting it drop just before the kick? 1t is
only a formality which does no good to
anybody.
Then there is !he rule or the punt out of
bounds, the kick out afte- a touch-ia-goal,
the vagneEess Of the word interference
when PLAYER is trying to make Il fair
catch, anG Iuanr others. All these things
shoGld be changed. At some future date
wfcn the sr0ke of many battles has disap-
peared | shall dwell further on this subject.

DIFFERED AS USUAL.

Northside Minds Have Varied Opinions
With Regard to Mayor Gourley's Move
Mr.. Parke Thinks It q Good One and
Mr.. Stauffer Says No.
Over in Allegheny opinions differed as TO
the wisdom of Mayor Gourley's move.
Thomas A. Parke, Chairman of
Common Council, thought that the
Mayor should be the responsible
head of all city affairs. He believed Mr..
Gourley's request was for the best interests
of the city, and that it was a good lead for
Allegheny to follow. 'To me, it seems"
said Mr.. Parke, ''that the Mayor oc-
cupies position similar to that of
the President of the United States
and that the heads of departments are as
Cabinet officers. Secretary Blaine would
not think of taking step in the Chilean
matter without consulting the President,
and neither should Chief Murphy or Chief
Brown do anything of Importance
without first getting orders from the
Mayor, under whom they are supposed to
work 1t is all nonsense for them to say
they are under Councils and not the Mayor.
Councils is legislative body, and the
Mayor is the executive power. As such, he
should receive all complaints, direct what
ever matters he sees fit, and have a deciding
voice in the awarding of contracts"
"We don't want a Mayor to be jack Of
ali trades and master of none, said Coun-
Gilman Stauffer "The present method in
operation in Allegheny and Pittsburg is
good enough, and I am not in
favor of throwing it overheard to
make room for system that is simply an
invitation for bossism."
When DR.. Gilliford was asked his opin-
ion, he replied that the plan proposed
would be a good one under an honest mayor,
and a bad one when the mayor is dishonest.
"Would it be good one in Allegheny at
present." he was asked.
''You know my opinion on that" he re-
piled, with significant smile that carried
as much weight as a negative in all the Ian
guages spoken.
Mr.. Henricks thought it good plan, but
he was too busy explaining the auditors
report to give his reasons.

BASEBALL MATTERS.

Rumors That j. Palmer O'NeiI Has Been
Asked to Join the Association-What
He Says About It-A New Move at New
York-The League Meeting.
A well defined rumor was circulated in
local baseball circles last evening to
the effect that the Association mag
mates, or at least some of them,
are making overtures toward getting
J. Palmer O'Neil interested in the Ameri-
can Association Mr. O'Neil was seen and
spoken to regarding the matter, and, while
he would not deny he had been approach
ed, he stated that he did not intend to have
anything more to do with baseball as soon
as he was out of the National League.
He was also shown the following SPECIAL
from New York to this paper: ''It is under
stood here that New York will be taken
into the Association, and that all the former
Giants now signed with the American Asso-
citation will play in the proposed New
York's. Phelps, Won der Abe, Mutrie and
j. Palmer O'Neil are said to be engineering
the move"
Mr.. O'Neil, in reply, said he could not
prevent people talking, and he insisted that
at present he has no intentions of going
over to the Association. although his treat
ment in Pittsburg has been of the most un-
grateful and meanest kind. Mr.. O'Neil
may not go to the New York meeting as one
of the directors, as he wired President
Young yesterday asking if it were necessary
for him to 60 If it is not necessary he will
remain at homa.
Without doubt matters are now becoming
exceedingly interesting between the Ameri-
can Association and the League, and those
who have money invested in the latter are
acting very foolishly in weakening their
forces at present. Whatever may have
been the faults Of Mr.. O'Neil, nobody can
the League ever had, and just such man
that is tower of strength to party at
time like the present.
At u meeting of the local directors yester-
day Messrs. A. X. Scandrett and Louis
Brown were appointed to represent the
club at the annual league meeting to-mor-
row. The gentlemen will leave tomorrow
evening and may be accompanied by A. G.
Pratt. The meeting will be one of the most
important that has been held for long
time as the League must take action of
some kind to retaliate on the Association.
from New York last evening
stated that 30 New York gentle
men have come forward to assist in putting
IN Association club into that city and to
appoint Jim Mu:rie as its manager. The
releasing of NIutre by the League club direc-
tors has stirred up strong opposition and
if ne consents to become manager of new
team in New York the move will be pop
ular one.
It is also stated that Tim Kee:e, Dick
Buckley, Roger CoRnor, Bill Brown, Danny
Rusie and others, will be ON the
new Association team, at New York. If
more of this kind is made the League mag
mates will have TO do something, and do it

Tne BROOKLYN TrouhJe.

New YORK, Nov 9.-[SpecieL IF. A.
Abel, of the Brooklyn Baseball Club, was
yesterday asked by a DISPATCH reporter if
there was any serious differences between
the managers of that club. He said that
there was some friction, but that the trouble
was all between Mr.. Doyle and himself
His relations with Mr.. Bryne and the other
gentlemen connected with the club were of
the friendliest character. What would be
the outcome of his trouble with DOYLE it
was impossible 10 say. He had no doubt
the Brooklyn team would play in the
League next season.
Nh. Abel is of the opinion that unless
baseball is soon put on a business basis the
game VIII die out. He thinks the League
and Association are making great mistake
in continuing the fight. Mr.. Abel further
says that no New Workers will 90 into

Eutrie Confident About His New Team-Baseball
News Of General Interest

Probably there is more rivalry among
football players in and about Pittshurg now
than there ever was in the history of the
city. There are numerous teams within a
short distance Of each other, both Rugby
and Association. The teams of the latter
class have season S contest now going on
by which it will be proven which is the best
team, and it will be interesting to know
that efforts are being made to get valua-
BILE silver cup to be held by the best Rugby
aggregation in this vicinity Mr.. Brainard,
Of The Three AS, stated yesterday that the
cup will certainly be on hand shortly, and
then local Rugby teams would have to face
each other in order to prove what team is
the best, and therefore should have the cup.
a Very Good Idea.
This method OF competition was suggested
bv TEE DISPATCH the other dav, and it
will be exceedingly interesting to all if it is
carried out. At present We have at least
two local Rugby teams who each claim first
honors. These teams are the East End
GYMS and the Three AS. The former, who
are hustlers of the mos. hustling kind, enl-
phaticaliv contend that the Three AS won't
DldN s-dlllSb lneHl lcdE OF Lie
Three AS declare that they have no open
date, and, therefore, cannot play the East
Enders, and so the case stands.
If the cup notion is carried out, the
Three AS will be compelled to find q date
or submit to the Gyms not only having the
cup but The title of local champions Tn
douhtcdly the two teams are the two best
hercaboGts but it is hard to tell which is the
better of the two. A contest or two be-
tween them is necessary to determine this.
To some extent there will be opportunity
given next Saturday to judge of the com
parative merits of the two teams. The
Three AS play the team of the Washington
and Jefferson College. Already the Gyms
have met the w. & j. team and clearly
demonstrated their ability
To Defeat Them Very Easily.
The public will see on Saturday what the
Three AS will do with the kickers from Lit
tie Washington.
Before the season is out there will be
some really good Rugby teams, but the best
Of them have only to meet the Three AS
This is unfortunate if it is true that the
GYMS are better team. There is another
feature and one which a well-known local
football PLAYER spoke well of yesterday. 1t
IS to have an ail-Pittsburg team to meet the
best teams that come 70 this city. Ifthe ques-
ton Of superiority between the Three AS
and The GYMS could be settled then some
thing conid be done toward organizing an
ail-pi::sburg 81 team.

JEEMs Is CONFIDEsT.
NIutrie Says He VIII Have a Good Team
ard Plenty OF Money.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-[Special. Jim
Mutrie does not appear to be at all disheart-
ened because he was deposed from the man-
agement of the New York Baseball Club.
On the other hand, he bobs up as smilingly
as ever. He says that the national game
will be booming in this city next year, and
that the present. New York club will not
receive all the patronage. ''There will be
an American Association club in this city
as sure as guns" he said, "and I will have
the entire management. Right now I can
place my hands on $4,000 that have been
subscribed by few prominent men of this
city and vicinity, and I am confident that L
can get all the money want to place first
class club in the field. That will be done,
and l am going to work hard to perfect the
arrangements at once.
When asked whether he would have any
trouble in obtaining franchise, Mutrie re-
piled: None whatever. We have fran
chise now, The American Association has
told us to go on. That's enough, isn't it?"
