SULLIVAN In A FIGHT,
But 1t Was Quite Bloodless land
Refereed by Legal Talent.
NEARLY WRECKED THE COMPANY.
Honest Hearts Were Hot and Willing
Hands Wouldn't Work.
ARRESTS MADE AND YET TO BE MADE

Frank Moran, representative Of John L.
Sullivan and Treasurer of the Harrison and
Sullivan theatrical combination, was
arrested at the BUou Theater yester-
day charged by Duncan B. Har-
rison with embezzlement. Moran gave
bail for a hearing before Alderman
McMasters tomorrow morning. Last night
Moran went before Alderman Gripp and had
a warrant issued for the arrest of Duncan B.
Harrison charging him with false arrest and
defamation of character. Harrison Is con-
fined to his room at the Duquesne Hotel
1t is expected the warrant will be served on
him this morning.
The arrest of the Treasurer of John L.
Sullivan's company and the issuing of 9
warrant for the arrest of Duncan B. Harri-
son, the author-actor and half owner of the
show combination, created no little sensa-
tion among the theater people and patrons.
For time Immediately after the arrest Of
Moran, the show practically went out Of
existence. Sullivan, burning with indigna-
tion, determined to quit the concern. Other
members of the company decided
to join the champion in his
strike. 1t was officially announced
tnat the company WoulQ not appear laSt
night and arrangements are being made to
cancel the Eastern engagements of the COM
pany. The Bijou Theater people however
interfered and q truce was patched up which
it is believed will last until the close of the
season, about June l.
The trouble between Messrs. Sullivan and
Harrison has been fomenting for several
months and for six weeks Sullivan and Har-
rison have not spoken socially. On Wednes-
day afternoon Harrison sent to Moran, the
treasurer of the company, for $500 which he
claimed as part of the profits of the Pitts
burg engagement. The treasurer refused to
send the money as directed. He heard no
more from Harrison until the officer called
upon him with the warrant.
Mr.. Harrison stated last night that he
had asked for his share of the show money.
He had been told that there was no money
to send him, and he therefore asked for the
arrest of the treasurer.
John L. Sullivan said last night that
there has been trouble in the company for
months, especially among the lady members.
"All this trouble has been caused by Har-
rison," Mr.. Sullivan said. "He's hot at me
because this is my last season with him.
Representatives of Sullivan and Harrison
met and arranged to have the treasurer of
the company pay all the legitimate ex-
penses of the company and then pay to
Sullivan and Harrison each so per cent Of
the amount remaining. Robert Ostermaier
was authorized last night to examine as an
expert the accounts of the treasurer. He
will probably conclude his work to-day.

Recouping for Advanced Wages by Closing
Up the Smaller Offices.
TOPEKA, May 5.-The State Board of
Railroad Commissioners are receiving many
letters from citizens along the line Of the
Santa Fe Railroad, who complain be-
cause of the action of the CON-
pany in closing all the small sta
tions and discharging telegraph operators.
Not less than II operators have been dis
charged and their offices closed in the last
80 days. The Santa Fe has not yet made
any explanation of its action.
The discharged operators say it is the
beginning of plan of retrenchment out
lined for the telegraph department by the
general officers of the road after the adoption
Of the advanced schedule of wages at the in
stance ofthe Telegraph Operators Grievance
Committee about a month ago. The COM
plants have all been referred to the COM

ST. LOUIS, May 5.-[SpeciaI IA very
peculiar civil suit was called in local JUS
tice's Office to-day, Meier Temenbaum being
the plaintiff and Julius Goldwasser the de-
fendant The story, as told by Mr.. Temen-
baum on the witness stand, is substantially
as follows: son January l, 1884, was em-
ployed by MI. Goldwasser as business agent
and messenger to bring about wedding be-
tween his son Michael and some rich young
lady in the city. 1 Immediately called on
Melich Golfer and laid the matter before
him, and asked him if he would consent to
his daughter marrying young Goldwasser.
He said he would not consent. Ireported
the answer to Goldwasser, and then tried
another party with better success.
"Seeing young Michael Goldwasser was
going elsewhere Golfer approached me and
stated that he had changed his mind and
would consent to the propositions made
him. made between 300 and 400 trips for
the young couple before the engagement
was made public, and after the marriage of
Michael Goldwasser and Miss Golfer in

ices and 1 have never received a cent"

BANKING ON G0RMAN.

Maryland congressman Confident Their
Senator VIII Be Nominated.
BALTIMoRE, May 5.-[Specid Con
gresham Rusk is supposed to know whereof
he speaks. He says: "ME Germans name
will not be presented to the convention from
Maryland, neither will Mr.. Cleveland's s
name be presented by New York, but there
will be vast difference between the feeling
of the Maryland delegation toward
Senator German and those of the New
York delegation toward Mr.. Cleve-
land. My opinion is that when 1t
is found ine1pedient or impossible to
select Mr.. Cleveland as the standard
bearer, Senator Gorman's name will be pre-
sented from some quarter, and when 1t
comes there will be such a spontaneity of
enthusiasm in his direction, that the secre-
tary of the convention will find it impossi-
BILE to count the votes that will pour in tor
him from all directions"
So sure is Congressman Compton that
Senator German is the coming man that he
has announced he will not be candidate
for denomination to Congress. He wants
TO go to the Senate when the Maryland Sen
ator enters into the White House.

Exploits of q Bad Husband.

READING, May 5-Charles Hunt came
here tonight and found his wife, who de-
serted him for alleged cruelty in Cleveland
several weeks ago. He quarreled
with the woman over some money
which he declared she had taken,
and finally attempted to shoot her, but
was prevented by her uncle, whom she was
visiting. Hunt then turned the weapon
upon himself and fired two shots, one pass
ing through his cheek, the other grazing
his body. The injured man was removed to
the hospital. His wife was a Miss Gicker,
of Philadelphia, and inherited $50, 900, most
of which Hunt is said to have spent

FAVA STILL DEAN.
The Little Difficulty He Had Dip1omatically
Does Not Lower Him.


Does Not Lower Him.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-[Spscial. when
Baron Fava returns to Washington he will,
in his official capacity as Minister from
Italy, resume his position as Dean of the
Diplomatic Corps. The Baron's absence
from the capital has not altered his stand
ing, for there is nothing on file at the State
Department to show that he was ever re-
called.
Some of the diplomatic gossips started
the report that Baron Fava's influence and
standing in the Diplomatic Corps was i'm
paired by the ridicule heaped upon him in
various quarters because of the correspond
ence he had with Secretary Blaine on the
subject. 1t was also limited that he had
been regularly recalled, and therefore he
would have to go to the foot of the diplo-
matte list upon resuming his duties here.
This appears to be a mistake. He has not
forfeited his deanship, and he will continue
to head the Diplomatic Corps whenever
they appear in public or on state occasions,
until he ceases 20 be the representative of
the Italian Government at Washington.

BAD CANDY MATCHES.
The New York Sanitary Officers Are Inves
tigating Them.

dgating Them.
NEW YORK, May "a box, looking like
one that contains parlor matches, was sent
to Sanitary Superintendent Edison by F. B.
Thurber few days ago. The box contained
thin strips Of sugar starch, tipped with
chocolate, which bore close resemblance
to ordinary parlor matches. Mr.. Thurber
wrote: 1.-THE effect of these might be to get
little children into the habit of eating the
phosphorus off real matches, and also to
play with matches"
DR.. Edson directed DR.. Edward w. Mar
tin, chemist of the Health Board, to make
an investigation, and later received from
the chemist this report: "Mr. Powell in
formed me that the candy matches were not
intended for children, and that the retail
price, 10 cents per box, would keep them
out of children's hands They were to be
used as joke At the same time, he said,
he was glad that his attention had been
called to the matter, and would be glad to
discuss the matter with the Sanitary Super
intendent The candy matches are made in
Germany"

CAUGHT BY A FALLING CABLE,
Considerable Damage to a Train and Its
Crew by Peculiar Accident

Crew by Peculiar Accident.
BATH BEACH, n. Y, May 81 Special J.
This afternoon, as train on the Brooklyn,
Bath and West End road was crossing the
city line on its way past the Terminal road,
cut, heavy steel cable which supported a
derrick beside the track gave away and fell on
the locomotive, dragging off the smokestack
and whistle, demolishing the cab and just
missing the engineers head. Passing over
the roof of the first coach, it caught that of
second, shaving it off like a cheese-knife.
Then, falling away from the car, the cable
struck one of the workmen on the wall and
knocked him into the cut, % feet below,
breaking both his legs.
The passengers, as well as the train crew,
were panic-stricken, thinking the train had
left the track and was running over the wall
into the cut Several women tainted and
two jumped from the train, receiving severe
bruises, while several men climbed out
through the car windows. The fireman
jumped from the cab.

made and carried, that the scholars, teach
ers and directors of the Birmingham school
be requested to repeat the school entertain
ment next Monday night for the benefit of

that the repetition will equal if not surpass
the first attempt.
