Adam Grant of the firm of Murphy,

has lost several million dollars by smug-

within these last two years these frauds
have been so fragrant as to be obvious to
the most dim-eyed officials.
He added: 1T Is well known that just
prior to the exposure of the Neuburger,
Reiss q Co. frauds agents from the Custom
house were around offering their services to
get In goods by fraud for cons deration on
the profits. OF course no decent firm could
&C ept such proposition. but there are
many who did and made one or two firms
act as middlemen. / believe that all these
people will eventually be caught and pun

They put their names TO the petition ask
ing the Police Commissioners to grant a
license to Jack Mailman.
Some of them signed untEinkingly.
Many Of them say they will never sign
again.
THE CALL has opened their eyes.
In the following article THE CALL also
prints the names Of those who signed for
that robbers rcost, the Alhambra, and the
vile resort kept by Stadler & Anderegg on
Pine street.
All of the signers were afforded an oppor-
tunity to explain why they signed, but some
Of them did not care TO talk, and others were
out of town. Most of them, however. ex-
pressed themselves freely on the subject.
Few of them, POSSIBLY none, will ever
sign diye-keeper's petition again.
Some Of them now want to sign petitions
to the Supervisors or the Police Commits
sioners asking them 10 close the very places
Tor which they were formerly the supporters.
THE CALL hopes that they will DO so.
Enough signers have withdrawn from the
support of Anderegg & Stadler, who keep
the vile dive at 514A Pine street, to cause
that place to close Its doors when its
quarterly license shall have expired.
The notorious Alhambra is doomed.
The Cremorne Crime Hatehery's license
will expire on May %.
Will The place be open after that date?
THE CALL thinks not.
At the ministers meeting yesterday THE
CALLS crusade was one of the chief topics
discussed, and great interest was taken in
support Of the stand taken by this journal
against the dives.

special Correspondence Of he Iatelagdoe,.
MoRaASTowS, W. Va, June THE
West Virginia University base ball club
gained another signal victory to-day,
the victims this time being the Fair
mont nine. Yesterday evening the
managers oithe West Virginia Uniyersi-
ty club noticed that there was nothing
on the programme for this forenoon,
and at oncedecided to got game with
tairmont, who had been wanting to
play all year. A challenge was sent by
Wire and promptly accepted. The Fair
mont boys came on the morning train,
and at 1880 the game was called. In
the first half OF the first inning Fair
mont scoredione and then the uniyersi-
" club shut them ont completely and
made 1t their last, whilethey ran their
own score up to thirty-one before the
ending Of the game. The Fairmonters
have always considered themselves good
players, but this one-sided game has
drawn then. from the ring and proven
that our own state university team can
play ball. Loyal West Yirginians from
all over the state shouted themselves
hoarse during the first part Of the game,
but when they found that tile game was
SO decidedly one-sidsd they remained
quiet ont OF respect for the feeling OF
the visitors.
This makes three games, out Of five
played, won by our team. Two OF these
victories have been won since the town
was full OF commencement; visitors and
i has done much to arouse the people
Of the state to an interest in their state
university and its athletic association.
The manager OF the team, Mr.. William
Q. Meyer, OF Wheeling, and the captain,
Mr.. A. Brown Smith, Of Uniontown, Pa,
both deserve great praise Tor their I'M
firing efforts in behalf OF the team.
Everything possible has been done to
mako athletics in the West Virginia
University a success. Athletics are not
here considered as paramount to any
thing else, but these extra efforts have
been needed on account OF the former
absolute absence of anything OF the
kind and the readily recognized fact
that the were very necessary to the
advancement OF our own institution.

General Porter was able yesterday to
announce that the fund for the Grant
monument which he set out to COM
plete two months ago has all been
pledged. In fact, there is already a
small surplus in excess Of the $3.50, 900
required, and not all Of the contribution
boxes have yet been counted. More
than this, General Porter states that
$239,000 Of the amount subscribed has
been paid in cash, aud he has no doubt
that the other subscriptions are as good
as cash. The compilation Of this fund
is an event in which all New Workers
can take an honest pride. II is New
York achievement almost entirely, only
S22,0 900 having come from other cities.
To General Porter . large debt Of public
gratitude is due.
