HERE'S A FUNNY STORY.
Somebody Really States That Peter Maher
Was Drugged Wednesday Night

Was Drugged Wednesday Night
NEW ORLEANS, La, March 5.-The cat is out
of the bag, and among the few already SON.
there is a howl, the like of which has not
been heard since the memora BILE throw" in
the Mitchell-La Blanche fake in Frisco in
1891
The "double-cross" in the vernacular Of
the street was worked in such a manner as
to make the few on the inside risk enough
forever to bear the fistic ostracism which is
likely to ensue, should the evidence in the
case ever establish their guilt
Probably never in the history of pugilism
has so deep-laid and adroitly worked a plot
been perpetrated on the public.
The story in brief is as follows:
Peter Maher, who last night got into the
ring with Fitzsimmons and whose sorry dis
play. after showing up as a thunderbolt
against dozen or so marks in the East
was drugged. and no one in Fitzsimmons'
corner, either. or for that matter, any of
his friends or hackers had any hand in the
work.
That the tall Dublin man was BETRAYED by
his own ''friends;" that these same friends
proflted hugely by the operation; tnat Gus
Tuthill and others of those supposedly near
est to Maber were Thrown" is known. and
that there are but two who were in the deal
isguessedat.
The story goes that after getting into the
ring all of the stimuaEts given to Maher
were "doped," and this is given credence to
by the inertia displayed by at least one of
his seconds when Maher was being attended
to between rounds.
That barrels of money came from mys-
terious sources at the eleventh hour and
that this was offered on Fitzsimmons and
was taken: that under ordinarily honest
conditions Fitz would never have been a
favorite but for this money, from the cor
ner he fought against" and that Maher
could have been readily cooked" to re-
spond for the thirteenth round lends color
20 the vaguely indefinite and non-committal
rumors afioat.
No names are mentioned, but that at least
a well-defined clue leads up co the conclu-
sions cited is certain.

An Assessment Ruling in Beaver County the
Target for Indignation.

An Assessment Ruling In Beaver County the
Target for Indignation.
BEAVER FALLS. March 5-[Special 1.-The
recent action OF the Commissioners of this
county in increasing the assessed valuation
of property in this place has raised . storm
of protest. In the First ward the valuation
has been increased 20 per cent, and in the
other wards 10 per cent. Last night large
and enthusiastic meeting was held at the
Central hotel by the First ward property
owners, and q strong protest was formulated
and signed by over 100 of the largest prop
erty owners in that ward. The pro test char
acterizes the action of the Commissioners as
arbitrary, unjus and unfair.
. 1t has been learned that the Commission
ers have gone on the presumption that
dwellers in towns are rich and getting richer
every day, while those in the country are
poor and getting poorer. therefore they have
increased the taxation in towns, while a cor
responding decrease has been made in the
rural districts New Brighton, Rochester
and other towns are suffering from the same
ruling, and last nights meeting was but O
prelude to grand chorus Of protests that
will assail the ears of the Commissioners
within the next two weeks.

Sporting News Of the Day.

Officials of the local ball club are be.

Mr.. Friday, who arrived here few
days ago to assist Mr.. Hebrank, think.
excellent grounds can be made if the
weather only clears up. Everything that
can reasonably be done will be done to
make the grounds as good as any grounds in
the League.
Manager Buckenberger is confident that
all the local players will report in good con.
dition. He said yesterday: ''Some of our
men NAV come here before April but
none of them will be later than the first of
April Everyone of them is aware that all
of them must report here in shape to play.
They have all been notified to this effect
and no excuses will be taken.
Must Keep in Line.
'Players must now be obedient to officers
or suffer the penalty. There is no P. L. or
American Association now, and a sensible
player will certainly conduct himself like a
gentleman and play the best kind of ball he
can. Players who do this will fare best.
Our directors and Mr.. Temple will insist on
good discipline this year. and players who
aid them will not be forgotten
1t is confidently expected that Connie
Mack will be here shortly, and that the club
will come to terms with him. He is worth
more than s. 500 and will get more than
that. An official of the club said last even
ing: "Most assuredly, Mack will get more
than s., 800, but he will not get s., 900.
Things have altered since last year, but as
general PLAYERS signed for this wear before
the indianapolis meeting and received good
salaries, it is hardly fair to cut Mack down
TO g, 800 this year. But let me say that all
high-salaried men will be cut down next
year and this is only fair
Very Hopeful Of the Team.
Manager Buckenberger is extremely hope
ful of his team making a good show. On
this point he says: 'We have almost made
up our minds now as to Who our team will
be, but the games we intend to have be-
tween our own players may cause a change
or two. There is no reason why we should
not stand we'll up in the race from the
start. If Camp and .Woodcock are as good
pitchers as we have been told they are, we
will be all right, as Baldwin, Ehret and
Calvin are sure to be in good form early in
the season" -.-----
President Temple and Vice President
Kerr are just as hopeful about the team and
the prospects as Manager Buckenberger
The two former are also satisfied with the
schedule and this shows beyond the shadow
of a doubt. that they are inclined to have
harmony in the League. Outsiders are
well satisfied that there is anv amount of
cause for complaint as far as Pittsburg and
the schedule is concerned. But the Pitts
burg officials want TO, in all respects, prevent
grumbling at this stage of the proceedings

Probably Taking With Him $4,000

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsrA,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.L
Mt. PLEASANT, PA, March 6.-Great
excitement prevails here over the disap-
pearance of Hugo Kali, a. foreigner, who
has. been acting as steamship agent and
banker here. He has been in business here
for many months. He has been made the
custodian of great deal of money,
and some time ago he established the
Slavinsky Bank. As President and owner
of this bank, Hungarians and Slavs began
to come in to ask him to handle their
money, and send it to the old country or re-
ceive it on deposit In this way he is said
to have gathered together in all over IS, 900.
This morning he was mysteriously absent
from his post, and dozens of anxious callers
were turned away from his door with the
reply that Kali was out of town. The
report soon spread that he had left the
place for good. Crowds of Hungarians
gathered about the Office of the Slayinskv
Bank and threatened to break down the
doors and find their money inside. Many
Of the men had recently bought tickets to
the old country, paid their money, but had
as yet received no ticket. These men, with
the many depositors of the bank, almost
precipitated q riot before the police were
called in to quiet them.,
Nearly every miner, coker and workman
in this vicinity had at least few dollars on
deposit with Kali, and the excitement on
the streets tonight is almost beyond con-
troll. Those who were we'll acquainted with
the banker know the least of his where
abouts, and it is asserted that he has left the
county for good.
Several posses Of Hungarians and foreign
ers Orgariizedat~ once, and after telegraph
ing all over the State started to look for him.
A. large DELEGATION started for Greensburg
late this evening, but reports from there
state that Kali has not been seen tor several
days. Tonight the disappointed depositors
are drinking and rioting. and the streets arc
filed with excrted foreigners who threaten
all sorts OF bodily harm to the missing man
ii he is found.
