Directors of the Louisville Club Getting
Their Programme Ready.
LOUISVILLE, Feb. pa meeting of the
ball club here has been called for Friday
next. The object of the meeting is to give
the local delegates to the big conference in
New York full instructions They will be
told what to favor in new National Agree
ment. They Will be ordered to demand
Sunday games in tones which will not take
s'No," for an answer. Each city should be
allowed to decide this matter for itself, ac-
cording to the stipulation made to certain
of the Association clubs, when the consol-
ldation was made at Indianapolis.
However, the most important matter to
come up at the meeting is the schedule
The local delegates will be instructed to ask
for great many favors. One point upon
which they will be ordered to insist with
unstinted vehemence is that Chicago be
scheduled to open here. y 1t is settled, Man
ager Chapman says, that the West-this
means Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsbufg-
where the weather is inclement in the
spring-will inaugurate the season in Gin
cinnati, st. Louis and Louisville. All three
of these latter cities are striving for Chicago
to begin with, since "Old Anse's" team is
recognized as the best drawing card.
Another matter will also come up at the
meeting DR.. Stuckv, owing to pressing
business at home, will decline his election
as delegate and new man will have to be
chosen. Harry Means, the Presidents Secre-
tary, will probably be selected as the third
representative. Mr.. Means experience in
baseball as the directors recognize, will
make him valuable man for the club at the
meeting.

President Temple and Manager Bucken-
berger Support the Players Interests.
In talking about the League meeting
Manager Buckenberger yesterday stated
that he is in favor of Colonel Rogers
drafting" scheme. He also said that
President Temple is a supporter of it.
'It will be great benefit for the play
ers," said the manager, "and will not dis
turb the equality of the respective teams in
the minor leagues In my way of thinking,
the minor leagues will not suffer by the ex-
ceptionally good players being drafted
from them. Heretofore these good players
have always been transferred from the
smaller leagues to the larger ones and it is
certainly not right to retain good player
in a small league at miserably small sal
airy, when a major league club will pay him
we'll. If the minor league clubs would pay
a good player as good salary as would
major league club then there would be
some reason in the minor league club want
ing to keep him. We must not forget that
the players will have to be protected as
we'll as anybody else in the new state of
things. What should be paid to minor
league club tor good player is another
matter and 1 am not prepared to say what
the figure ought to be. "

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPArcH.l
UNIoNrowN, Feb. 24-Charles Gaigen,
Of near Morris cross roads, this county,
through indulging too freely in hard cider
and from fear of the Cooley gang, is q
rsving maniac, and for the past three days
has been running amuck among the hills Of
Spring Hill township, armed with double
barreled shotgun and a butcher knife,
striking terror to the hearts of the peaceful
citizens of that section. He was captured
last night after fearful struggle by one
lone unarmed man, and is now confined in
his home under close watch. He will proba-
DIV be sent to Dixmont in a few days.
Gaigen is farmer and has been very
much worked up over the outrageous acts
of fthe notorious Cooley gang. He has fire.
quentlv expressed the fear that he would
be robbed or murdered. For several weeks
he has been drinking heavily of hard cider
mixed with alcohol, and this, together with
his anxiety about the Cooleys, has shat
tered his health and his reason.
Last Sunday it was first noticed by his
friends that he was not sane, when he took
his gun and started for the hills, saving
that he was going to capture the Cooleys,
dead or alive. He was dissuaded from leav-
ing the premises, however, on that day, but
on Monday he escaped unnoticed, and the
first heard of him was that he had shot at a
man named Lyons and then plunged into
thicket, yelling at the top of his voice
a posse of citizens at once organized and
hunted for him day and night, occasionally
getting signt of him, but not near enough
to effect his capture. Whenever he would
catch man alone he would fire his gun
at him and then run TO some cover.
Last night he slipped back to his home
and finding his wife and children in bed,
he dragged them from their beds and drove
them ont doors, saying, ''Now, in with the
Cooleys" Mrs Gaigen ran to the house of
Henry Jennings near by, and gave the
alarm. Jennings, daring young man, un-
armed, went back with Mrs. Gaigen, to see
if he could not pacify the madman. Just
as he reached the front door, Gaigen opened
ii, and, pointing the double-barreled gun at
Jennings breast, both hammers cooked, he
warned him to keep back.
Quick as a fash, Jennings ducked and
made spring for Gaigen. At the same
both barrels of the gun were discharged
Just over Jennings head, but doing no
damage save TO the trunk of cherry tree.
Jennings clinched the madman and terri
bic struggle ensued, the latter fighting like
a demon. Jennings was too strong for him,
though, and after a short time succeeded in
choking Gaigen into submission. Mrs.
Gaigen had in the meantime ran into
neighbor's S, and in short time crowd of
citizens had collected The madman' was
tied and locked in his room.

a bee in summer time, and if the patrons of

he has completed everything ready tor the
opening, and he has, indeed, great pros

Since here last Sir Henri has visited the
