Base Ball Men Fresh From Head.
quarters Fail to Agree.
Frank Larrabee and Lou Harrison
came home from Milwaukee yesterday.
where they had been in the interest of
base ball in Minneapolis. Larrabee was
representing the Hach interest, and
Harrison was looking out for himself
as one of the hackers of Sam
Morton. should the franchise come
Sans way. 1t is still case of ''you
pays your money and you takes yeur
choice" Larrabee says that Hach has
the franchise, and Harrison says that
his party is still in it with good chances
for success. According to Harrison,
Mcclure, of Milwaukee, has the proxies
of Speas and SchmeiZ, of Columbus.
That makes him the majority of the
committee. Mcclure is supposed to be
Morton man. but here is the way Har-
rison tells about it:
II went to Milwaukee, and called
npoh MIR. Mcclure at the Kirby house.
he was cloSeted with Mr.. Hach and Mr..
Larrabee, but excused himself to them
and gave me private audience. He
stated positively that Hach had not been
given the franchise. He admitted that
the committee had made a sort of prop
osition to him. but that it had never
gone so far as to be a positive proffer
of the franchise, and that, such as it
was, was off. He said that he was in
favor of Morton, and if we could per-
form certain conditions he would give
us the franchise at once. The commit
tee will meet at Chicago On the 10Th of
this month, when the final decision will
be made. In the meantime Mr.. Gill,
a Chicago attorney, will be sent to Min
neapolis, and he will spend three days
here looking over the situation. His
report will be taken as con-
elusive by Mr.. Mcclure, and
the franchise will be at oncce
awarded. Until that time all talk of
anybody actually possessing the frali-
chise is untrue. l will say right here,
though, that we could have it tomorrow
if we would do thing or two which we
consider as impractlcable."
The crank Will still have a few days
in which to rest until Gill gets to MIN
neapolis. Then we shall all know just
how it will end-When Gill declares

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March 1.-There
has been warm campaign in this state
among the Democratic factions in prep
aration for the convention, which occurs
March 3. 1t has been Cleveland for
president and David S. Baker Jr. for
governor on the one side and Hill for
president and w. T. G. Wardwell for
governor on the other. In the conyen-
ton there will be PIG delegates, and of
these 154 have already been chosen.
The straight Cleveland men claim
l19 of this total, or ten more
than a majority. The opposition to
Cleveland claim they are merely
working to get an unpledged delegation
to Chicago. There is some prospect
that a candidate for United States sena-
tor will be named at the convention. DR..
L. +. c. Garvin and President Andrews.
Of Brown university, are mentioned.
ATLANTA. Ca, March 1.-The Cleve-
sued an address in behalf of the ex-
president, declaring that "unfair and
undemocratIc action of the machine in
New York indicates purpose to make
the will of the people subservient to
the greed of the politician. We
therefore believe that the time
has come for the active and
resolute organization of the Democratic
masses in Georgia, lest the sentiment of
the people in this state, as in New York,
find expression through the machina-
tions of political intrigue" 1t declares
Mr.. Cleveland the choice of the Demo-
Gratis of Georgia, and that he can carry
New York and the nation.

ingS. 1t was the forty-second innings
that Thayer secured his 100 points and
WiImot was then 40 in the lead. In his
second string Thayer made run of Is.
but otherwise his score was made up of
twos and threes. The game may be
said to have been in Wilmot's hand.
Thayer made a few brilliant spurts,
reduced the lead to 18 points,
but then went back again. allowing
WiImot to forge ahead. The sixty-first
inning gave Wilmot POS, which included
his best run-twenty points. This was
also the highest run made by Thayer.
1t was during the second hundred that
Thayer played at his best. He fell off
miseraby after this, missing several
very easy shots, while Wllmot went
ahead and won by siXty-one points-300
to 239. In his last hundred Wilmot
made runs Of 10, u, IL, several Us, SIS
and As. On the other hand, Thayel's
highest score was six, and he failed to
score in twelve innings. Thayer un-
doubtedly did not play his best, but it
is questionable whether he can ever
cope with Wilmot in 300-point game.
The latter's control of the ball gives
him too great an advantage.
The people present thoroughly ell
joyed the game, which was conducted
in an excellent manner. Will Hatley
acted as referee.
AS previously arranged, a second
game will be played this evening by
Thayer and Wilmot at Foley's. If Will
mot succeeds in retaining possession of
the trophy, he will leave it in ST. Paul,
and, when in the city again, will be pre-
pared to accept challenges from aspir-
ing amateurs.
Wilmot is member of the Chicago
base ball team, and leaves st. Paul-his
home-this week to join his club.
Thayer is dry goods dealer of Merriam
Park.

The Big Fight of Tonight Exciting
the Popuiace.
New ORLEANS, La, March 1.-The
-Maher fight is beginning
to assume somewhat sectional aspect.
All the northern sports are backing
Maher, while the southern contingents
are plunging on Fitzsimmons. At the
pool rooms today it was even money,
and take your choice. Late in the
evening it was given out that Tony
Sage had sent a cablegram from Dublin
to a prominent firm of local sports,
authorizing them to place $4,000
On Maher. Even this sensational piece
of news did not dampen the ardor of
FitZsmmonS' hackers, and he continued
to hold his own in the betting, although
the Paris mutualS show a Slight pre-
ponderance in Maher's favor. There
has probably never been fight i'll the
history of the ring where less was
known of the condition and fighting ca
pacity of at least one of the contestants.
Maher is practically an unknown
ql antity. He has weight in his
favor. say those who are regarded
as experts in fistic matters. but that
is all. The current OF opinion is
that his mettie never has been tried as
it will be tomorrow night. The fight is
the all-absorbing topic, and even the
historical struggle between Sullivan
and Kllrain did not attract larger
share of the curiosity of the public.
Merchants, lawyers, doctors. artists, aud
the large class who constitute the purely
professional fraternity eyince the same
interest in the coming contest. Instead
of How do you do?' the prevailing
salutation is: 'Wo do you think will
win?"
Maher. Slavin and Mitchell, who. with
Bob FitZsimmons. the champion mid
dleweight OF the world, will constitute
the quartette or great celebrities appear
ing tomorrow night at the Olympic club
arena, reached here yesterday morning.
and were quietly stored away out OF
sight and out of reach of temptation.
Maher is looking big and strong, and
not at all fatigued by his journey. He
says he will scale 176 pounds in the
ring.
Charley Mitchell has managed in his
few weeks of training TO work Oft some
of his surplus flesh and will make it
lively for big Felix VAC quelin, who,
since his training experience with Fitz-
simmons, is coming to be looked upon
as somewhat dangerous. Slayln is as
as solid as rock in appearance. He
says he is not in training, but takes on
little flesh, and is therefore not far
overweight. He is about 1876 pounds
now. The statement sent last night
concerning Ryan's condition was cor

NEW YORK, March 1.-The inquiry
into Edward M. Fields mental condi-
tion was continued today before Judge
Van Brant and jury. DR.. Landau G.
Gray, specialist in nervous dis
eases, testified that Field was suffering
from melancholia. and had delusiOn
that people were trying to poison him.
Mr.. Field. he said. believed that Jay
Gould and the czar OF Russia had bribed
the employees of the Ludlow streeG Jail
to give him poison. 1t was impossible,
the doctor said. to assume the symptoms
he manifested. In reply to juror, DR..
Gray said he thought Field was not re-
sponsible for his action. Richard Davis
Jr., real estate dealer of New Rochelle,
corroborated the testimony given by
previous witnesses about Field having
fits at different times. Lloyd nj. Garrl-
son also testified to some queer actions
on the part of Field and his peculiar

aged ninety. and worth 100000. has
created sensation by marrying
Herbert c. Penny, of Amherst. Me-,

Last night white caps attacked

ransacked the house. They found
Penny, half-dressed, hid in the haymow,
with two revolvers, aud disarmed him.
He was roughly handled, pelted with
eggs and notified to leave town before
tonight or he would be tarred and feath-
cred and rode on a rail to the town
line. Penny captured one of the White
caps and locked him in closet at the
point of a pistol. Rev. r. L. Hackett,
of the Congregational church, who per-
formed the ceremony, says that the
room was darkened and that he was de-
ceived. Penny is still here and will

ENTERPRISE AHEAD,
Good Team Work Defeats the
North Light aggregation.


The Enterprise club added another
victory to their list at Shades park last
evening and are now more hopeful than
ever of carrying the shining GLOBE
trophy away in triumph at the close of
the tournament. Their opponents
last night were the merry men
from Rice street, who make up
the North Light club and who
also make it interesting for every club
that meets them on the even surface of
a bowling alley. They made it interest
ing for the Enterprise team last night,
and played a good game, but the even
playing of the others, and the uni
formly good scores piled up were too
much for them. and victory was just
eighty-four pins beyond their reach
when the tenth frame had been rolled.
Heidenrich did some very good work,
and piled up score of pit, which lacks
but 12 of tying the 229 that was made by
Ordway, and which so far stands alone
as the highest Individual score made in
the tournament. Schmitz, of the Enter
prise, was next to Heidenrich with 1S9.
The attendance was as large as usual,
and enthusiasm ran high as the game
drew to close. The following was the

that Canada could not conclude without
