HELPING HEBREw REFUGEEs
New Orleans Welcomes and Provides for the
First Consignment.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. S1.-[Speeial. i
Twenty-seven Russian refugee families
comprising 126 persons arrived here yester-
dav from New York. The refugees were
generally of better class than the ordinary
immigrant, most of them following various
trades, being carpenters, painters, tailors,
cloak makers, ETC., and seemed anxious to
secure work at once. Two of the immi-
grants died on their way here
A committee composed of leading He
brews who were with the immigrants, secured
accommodations for them and will find
them work. The Hebrews of New Orleans
organized the committee for the relief of
Russian refugees about a month ago and
have raised and are still raising money to
provide for the refugees. 1t took strong
position against the immigration of pau
pers, but offered to assist those who gave
some promise of being able to provide for
themselves and who had any trade to fol-
low. The committee will distribute the
immigrants in the country parishes as it can
find accommodations for them.

President Temple Talks of the Importance
of Players Training Well.
Almost all the local ball players will enter
into active training this week. Calvin and
Miller will commence this morning and take
considerable pedestrian exercise every day,
and also a fair amount of exercise for their
arms Ed. Hanlon is getting ready to go to
Hot Springs, and Mark Baldwin may join
him after he (Baldwin) has settled with Won
der Abe at Philadelphia Beckley is still un-
decided as to where he will go. He is some
that inclined to go to Mt. Clemens, but it is
probable that he will be induced to accom-
pany Hanlon to Hot Springs.
President Temple is anxious that all the
players get into the best possible condition
for April l, and he is prepared to encourage
them to do so in any possible way. He
wisely points out that it is of the greatest
importance that the local team start out
we'll. This matter, he very sensibly argues,
is of just ~ much importance to the players
as the directors. Players who do their best
to get into form and condition will not be
forgotten.

CHICAGO. Jan. 31-[Speciol. liver since the
allotment of players at Indianapolis howl
has gone up from Pittsburg. The Smoky
City thought it had been treated badly,
although as matter of fact, Chicago Jared
much worse. First it was over Grim, and
now President Temple is hot over the Lyons
case. Lyons was allotted to New York, but
Temple says he belongs to Pittsburg and de-
mands that the league decide in his favor.
He threatens to bring suit.
"Do you know" said George H. Williams
yesterday, "that it would take but little to
start a new American Association. This
everlasting beefng' from Pittsburg may
mean something. Both Pittsburg and Brook
lyn are natural association towns, and If
they should back away, as l hear Pittsburg
talks of doing, new association would be
formed in 20 minutes. There are men in
Chicago who would back the scheme. Would
l? Not much. 1 got back every cent put
into the game, and am on such good terms
with myself that will never have anything
to do with it again."

A Crazy Man AT Large in the East End.

About o'clock last night three citizens
called at the Nineteenth ward police station
and reported to Captain Mercer that man
had stopped them on Forbes street, near
Dallas avenue, Twenty-second ward. He
caught hold of one in the marty and it took
the entire strength of the other two to
release his hold. He acted very strangely,
and they thought he was insane Captain
Mercer and Lieutenant Duncan went to the
place where it occurred and found that the
strange man lived on Forbes street, Squirrel
Hill, and after an investigation found that
the man was slightly demented. He has
been working on several patents which have
put him off One of them is on perpetual
motion. His name is John c. Timmis. He
was not arrested.

lBY CABLsro THE DIsPATcH.1
LONDON, Jan. 3l.-The suicide of Mr.. Hume
Webster has created quite commotion in
commercial as we'll as sporting circles. As
a breeder of race horses he was successful,
and, though his attempt to bring home the
stallion Ormonde from South America was
a costly failure, yet on the whole breeding
race horses proved remunerative to him.
Twas only when he promoted companies
and speculated in stocks that he came to
grief.
Latterly he had speculated heavily for a
rise in American rails, and he held large
blocks of Louisvilles. The much expected
did not happen, he circulated bills with pro-
fusion and discounted to a very heavy
amount. Now the alleged acceptors swear
that they never signed those drafts and that
the names upon them are forgeries.

Rio JANEIRo, Jan. 1.-The people of
this city are now in state of intense ex-
citement over riots that occurred yesterday
on the Central Railway, connecting this city
with the interior of the country. This road
belongs to the Government and is the most
important railroad in Brazil, having cost
about S60, 600, ,OO0
The rioting commenced on the 28th,
originating in the arrest of three brakemen
by the police at Riachuelo, suburban sta
tion of the railway. In the fight which en-
sued three policemen were wounded. This
preliminary conflict caused much irritation,
both among the police and the railway en-
ployes.
The Police Stoned and Shot.
Yesterday at 10 A. NJ. 20 policemen at the
city station of the railway were attacked by
body of men armed with bottles, stones
and revolvers, and were driven from the
station to the street. A police force sent
against the rioters was received with vol
ley of stones and pistol shots The police
returned the fire, and for some time there
was lively fusillade.
At last General Bernardo Vasques, Com
mander of the Police Brigade and DR..
Francisco Santiago, Police Delegate, sue
ceeded in restoring quiet. This fighting
interrupted transit on the road, the en-
pfoyes abandoning the trains. -Four police
men and three other persons are known to
have been wounded in this fight.
During the remainder of the day there
was some desultory fighting, and at P. NJ.
large body of railway employees took
possession of the station. A large police
force soon appeared and fighting was re-
newed, lasting this time an hour and half,
when the police succeeded in dislodging the
rioters. 1t is not yet known how many
persons were killed and wounded in this
fight.
An Armed Truce After the Fight.
To-day there has been no fighting. A
thousand policemen are guarding the rail-
way station, which is very much damaged
1t is reported that the director of the rail-
way has been dismissed and military man
appointed in his place. Trains are not run
ming to-day.
There was general scare among pas
senger on the trains. Women tainted and
many persons ran away and abandoned
their luggage, part of which was opened
and rifed
Some persons think there are political
schemes behind this, while others attribute
the disturbances to the instigations of an
agitator named Vinhaes, who is endeavor-
ing to organize workingmen's party, and
who, 1t is said, wishes to be appointed di-
rector of the railway. He is retired naval
officer ana member of Congress
The sitting in the Chamber of Deputies
yesterday was stormy, and the President
was compelled to suspend it twice.
