A CoIored Pastor Makes a Wicked Prayer
More of tho Foy Mystery.
YOUNGSTOWN, Feb. 26.-[ Special. 1-Col-
ored circles are stirred up over an incident
which occurred at the A NJ. E. Church,
where revival is in progress. The Colored
Cornet Band gave masquerade ball which
was very successful, nearly all The colored
people attending Rev. Mr.. Lee objected
to the ball, believing it would interfere with
his religious work, and, it is reported, his
prayer that night expressed the wish that
the floor would give way and leave the
maskers in their sins. The band claimed
that in the past they had largely aided in
sustaining the church.
Relatives here have not laid any claim to
the body of Thomas Foy, the suicide found
hanging near Niles, and unless action is
taken it will be turned over to doctor
who has claimed it. 1t is asserted by rail-
road men that the night before Foy was
found he was with a party of tramps near
the woods, and that in the morning they
had disappeared, creating suspicion that
a quarrel had occurred, and they had settled
the matter by quiet hanging bee.
The Republicans of Mahoning county

TROTTERS IN RUSSIA.
Joe Heideger Writes an Interesting
Letter About Them.
LATEST ABOUT FITz AND MAHER.
Connie Mack Offers to Compromise With
the Local Club.
STEINITZ LEADS IN THE CHESS MATCH

The thousands of patrons of trotters and
trotting races are always interested In hear
ing anything of a news kind from Joe
Heideger who left this city some time ago
for Germany. The sporting editor of this
paper received letter from Joe yesterday,
and like all of Joseph's letters, it contained
lots of very interesting and instructive
news about the trotters in Eastern Europe.
When the ex-Pittsburger wrote the letter
in question he was among the Russians in
Moscow, but there is no evidence that the
famine was at all marring his pleasure. He
was having a high old time and was scoring
great successes The trotting races there
were on ice tracks and that was not al
together palatable to Joseph. His letter is
as follows:
81 am now in Moscow and 1t is great
place. Trotting has taken great hold here
and there is plenty Of money in the bust
ness when man has anything like good
horse. am trotting horses here on the ice
among the Russians and it is cold, awfully
and terribly cold. One of my horses
was badly frozen and it will take
months before 70 the horse is we'll
enough to trot again. Our American
horses can't stand the cold here half as we'll
do tIC ISuSSltlu uOIScS 1Ilc ldttcT Cdu StdHu
the weather no matter how freezing it is,
and they will trot in great style. They can
60 heats of two and three miles without
any blankets. They have no boots on; nor
are any check reins used, and they have on
only common road shoes. But despite all
this they can all go the mile in from 2:25 to
2:35, and never make skip. These horses
really surprise me, and Americans who
have never seen them will hardly believe
they are such useful animals.
81 have some Russian horses now in my
stable, and 1 have many good laugh at
them. A driver behind them has to sit with
a slack line, and baste away at them with
the whip from wire to wire. No judgment
is required to drive them, as they are all
pure gated trotters. and you cannot drive
them to a break. They are more natural
trotters than our American horses, but they
are very roughly built. One of these Rus
sian horses would just be the thing for
Watson Taylor to go round the pumpkin
fairs with. With one of them Watson
could give the boys the laugh. 1 have just
won three races. and been twice second, SO
that cannot complain"
When Joe wrote the letter he was on the
point of going to Italy for a trip, and he ex-
poets to be in America next year.

The Loser Almost strangled to Death in a
Bout at Bradford.
BRADFORD, Feb 26.-[SpeciaL lat the
Wagner Opera House here tonight W. E.
Gibbs, of this place, and Dennis Gallagher,
Of Buffalo, engaged in wrestling match
that came near ending in tragedy. The
match was best two in three falls, GRECO
Roman style, strangle hold not barred. The
men were in prime condition, and the first
bout ended the contest. The struggle lasted
20 minutes, with honors even. Gibbs got a
strangle hold on Gallagher, but the Buffalo
man, by the exercise of wonderful strength,
broke the hold. In the subsequent effort to
obtain a fall, Gallagher got his man by the
neck and tried to place his shoulders upon
the carpet.
Gibbs squirmed partly off the bad posi-
ton, and then Gallagher clutched him
about the neck with hang-hold. With the
ferceness of an Evan Lewis he squeezed
Gibbs wind-pipe until the latter. with eyes
protruding and black in the face, made a
cultural sound like the roaring of bull.
He was strangling.
'fDont murder him." "foul, - '4et go of
him. and other EXPLANATIONS came from
the Mortified spectators. Bill Baker. Gibbs
second, attempted to rescue his man from
Gallagher's clutches, but Referee Atherton
held him back. Gallagher continued his
choking until Gibbs became unconscious
and lay upon the floor in a nearly lifeless
condition. He was carried to his room by
two men, and, by working over him for
long time, the wrestler was resuscitated.
The match was awarded to Gallagher, al
though he did not throw his man. The
strangling of Gibbs was the most brutal
spectacle that was ever witnessed on q
stage in this city,

GOSSIP ABOUT THE BATTLE.

Great Demand for Seats to See the Contest

Men In Good Condition-Slavin and
MitchelPs Opponents-The Australians
Training.
New ORLEANS, Feb, 26.-[ Special 1.-The
interest in the Maher-Fitzsimmons fight is
increasing. All the boxes were disposed of
last week and the orders for reserved seats
are being received daily by mail and tele-
graph. The seating capacity of the Olympic
Amphitheater was increased. The report
that Jack Dempsey, FItz's last opponent,
would visit the city to witness the contest
is unfounded, as he is at his home in Port
land, Ore, suffering with malaria. Frank
Slavin and Charley Mitchell will arrive on
Sunday, and both report themselves in
splendid form and eager for the fray. The
two men chosen to oppose them are also
placing themselves in condition to try their
hardest to earn the very liberal purse of
fered by the enterprising Olympics should
they succeed in staying the required four
rounds.

graphs that Maher and he will reach here
Sunday. They will make two stops on the
road. at Washington and some other place,
SO that Maher will not be fatigued by the
journey. A delegation of Galway men, now
good citizens of New Orleans. will receive
Maher and see him safely quartered.
The reports from Fitzsimmons continue
favorable. He sleeps we'll and is still grow

sprinted for six miles and had four-round
bout with Jimmie Carroll, in which the lat

Arthur Upham, the middle weight, has

could get away from st. Bernard in time.

A Great Battle Expected and Lively Betting
on the Result.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 26. The change of
date for the Ryan-N Needham contest from
March 2 to February 90 by the management
of the Metropolitan Club, meets with
favor among the sporting fraternity and
their friends, and there is large demand
for tickets. Maher and his hackers. and
seconds have expressed their wish to attend
The audience to witness this great welter-
weight contest will contain more noted
sporting men than ever congregated at a
ringside in this city. The change of date
makes no difference with the principals, as
it saves them two days hard work. and as
both men have been down to weight for
some days no material difference or annoy
ance is felt by either men.
Excitement over this contest is becoming
more generally noticeable, and much money
is being wagered on the result, the betting
being about even. When the Chicago con-
tingent arrives, however, Ryan stock may
go up, but there is every reason to believe
the Frisco boys will be only too willing to
accept. Pools were sold to-day with odds
a little in Needham's favor.

Great Game,

HAVANA, Feb. .26-[Special AFTER
struggle which lasted for nearly seven
hours the Russian master had to acknowl-
edge defeat and to cede the lead to the Bo-
hemian Cesar once more. The Zukertort
opening, which the Austro-American
adopted for the third consecutive time, is
highly corgenial with his style. On the
other hand, Tschigorin never could do him
self full justice in close opening, although
he vastly improved in his line of play in
the twentieth game of the present match.
Steinitz, playing for nothing but position,
gradually obtained majority which prom
ised a certain victory. Tschigorin vainly
sought salvation in a counter attack.
At one time he set an ingenious trap
which would have yielded him harrassing
attack or at least a draw by perpetual
check, but Steinitz declined to be caught
After recess the Russian had to beat retreat
at every point, and notwithstanding his
stout defense he had to resign after 40
moves The score of the contest at present

Later in the day they took long walk,
and finally brought up at the Washington
Monument, where Maher limbered himself
up bit by running up the long stairway,
500 feet. When he arrived at the landing
he was not perceptibly fatigued, and rode
down the elevator and tried it over. The
party, after visiting the principal points of
interest about the city, left last night at II
o'clock for New Orleans They will stop
