The receipts on tho 9th avenue railroad in
New York city have fallen below their usual
mark lately and the officials have been puzzled
for the reason. The cars seem to carry as
many pc ople as ever and detectives failed to
catch any conductor knocking down fares.
After considerable effort big conspiracy to
defraud the road has been unearthed, in which
over 100 conductors are implicated.
William b. Rowe, a>eth avenue surface line
conductor, has been arrested on the charge of
appropriating money paid for fares. The Off
GERS had watched the conductors operations
until they became satisfied they were thor
oughly acquainted with his methods and then
put him under arrest.
Several times, the Hawkshaws saw thew saw
Rowe collect fares, put his hands on the cord of

not move and were not long in divining the

This is the time of year when the base ball
sensation fskir works overtime. All sorts of
stories Of deals and combinations are reported
during the winter and the skeptical public ac-
cept these reports with considerably more than
the traditional grain of salt Therefore, tho
story that is now being circulated Of an effort
to form a new national base ball organization
does not find much crsdence. The story is as
follows:
at is said that number Of very prominent
ball players have engineered the movement and
that they have promised to play in the new
association.
THE association circuit, as at present out
lined, is to include Boston, Philadelphia, Brook
lyn and Baltimore in the east, and Chicago, St.
Louis. Louisville and Cincinnati in the west.
New clubs are to be organized in Boston, Phlla-
delphia and Chicago. The Baltimore, ST. Louis
and Louisville clubs are reported as being solid
for the new deal, and there is every prospect
that Mr.. Byrne will jump the Brooklyns over
the league traces.
George H. Williams. who was SO popular as
the president Of the Chicago Players League
| Club. is to control the Chicago franchise and
Tom Lotus is said to have grounds and back
Ing for u new club in Cincinnati. Tom Lowell
of the Lowell Arms Company is reported as be-
ing the head of the new Boston club, and in
Philadelphia of the big clothing firm of
Snellenburg, it is said, will control the new
Athletic Club.
The outlines of the now association are all
perfected, and all that now remains is to cali a
meeting for permanent organization. In case
Brooklyn refuses to join it is au.horitatively
stated that Washington will accept fran
chise.'
The story bears unmistakeable ear marks OF a
