William J. Turpin, independent Battery G,
Pa. l.. A., Oakdalo Station, Pa, says the article
regarding Gen Mcdowell by Comrade Hunter
son gives a little Of the gossip that went the
rounds Of Pope's army. After the ordcr Of Nc
DOwell TO stop the firing at Slaughter or Cedar
Mountains, Mcdowell was not near the bat
teries that night, nor was Capt Hall, 2d Ne.
battery, who saved the s5th Pa from anuihi-
lation. Capt. Hall did fire two Of his guns, bat
not until Thompson's Independent Battery G
had entirely sienced the euemy'5 guns An
Aid rode up to the left piece of ThOmpson's
Battery and ordered the firing to cease aud was
told by polite member Of the battery 20 20 TO
-, and he left, and the guns being loaded
were fTod. The Aid returned aud said cease
firing, by order Of Gen. Ricketts, which was the
only order given by any General that night.
The whole action cIninated from Capt. James
Thompson, aud he was cOmpiimented by ali the
Generals for it the following Sunday. About
the time Of the first order To cease firing bat
terry on the left front opened, and IN the dark
ness and confusion riGdled the cOmmissary
wagon and ambulance Of ThCmpsOn'5 battery,
which were the only scars the battery had 20
show for their work. The hat worn by Gen.
Mcdowell vas at least peculiar, but the writer
does not sec how he could be dubbed a traitor
because Of it. lie had been unfortunate and
was sOured aud must have known something Of
the feeling against him. As be has answered the
last roll call. let Us ask ourselves if we have
not misjudged him.

Directors Of the Local Club Meet and Dis.
cuss the 25-Cent Matter.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

A few days ago it was stated in this
paper that the prospect Of settlement Of
the trouble among the Amateur Athletes
was exceedingly bright 1t oan now be
stated almost with certainty that peace will
soon be established and that all will be well
once again. This will likely kill all chance
Of the organization of rival association
to the A. A o.
The Board of Governors Of the A A. q.
have met and steps were taken whereby the
Manhattan Athletic Club will probably
have q representation on the board. Tho
step is embodied in decision of the board
to recommend an amendment to the consti-
tuition making the number Of members on
the board to which each association is enti-
tied three instead Of two, as ut present.
Although there was no quorum at the
meeting, the matter will be submitted to q
mail vote, and there is but little doubt that
it will eventually become q law. II.
Amove that will make Seventh Regiment
athletes smile was the recommendation re-
garding prizes It is intended to allow not
only medals, wreaths and banners, but, in
addition, watches, silverware, toilet service
and all sorts of jewelry.
This news will, doubtless, be hailed with
delight BY all the local amateur athletes, and
they are numerous The rules and defects
above referred to have caused endless
trouble and should never have been allowed.
The Manhattan Clubs complaint has long
been recognized as a just one.
Mr.. Wells, of the East End Gyms, will
attend the meeting of the Atlantic division
Of the A. A. U. to be held at Washington
on the 9Th inst. Probably two or three dele
gates from the club will accompany him.

WORLDS FAIR BIDS TOO HIGH.

The Plans of the State Buildin. to Be
Altered to Limit the Cost.
HARRISBURG, March Bids for the
erection of the Pennsylvania building at the
Worlds Fair were opened at the Worlds
Fair headquarters to-day. No award was
made. The average bid was S91, 900, that
being over SIG, 900 higher than the limit of
the appropriation for the building. 1t is
possible the surplus of $40, 900 in the COM
missioner's hands may have to be added to
the original appropriation. The lowest bid
was S79, ,700..
Architect Lonsdale has been instructed
by the Building Committee of the Worlds
Fair Commission to modify the plans for
the interior of the State building at Chicago
so as to make the cost not more than S75,-
600, the limit fixed by the Commissioner
This will at once be done, and bidders will
have another chance on the revised plans
next week.

MADDENED BY DRINK.
A Uniontown Glass-Cutter Pours Car.
bon Oil Over His Wife,
THROWS HER In THE OPEN CRATE
And Winds Up by Slashing His Own Throat
With Barlow Knife.
NEWST NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 THE DIsPArcH.l
UN1oNTowN, March 9.-At $50 this
morning j. W. Harmony, well-known glass
cutter, committed suicide by cutting his
throat with penknife. He had arisen very
early this morning, and. going out of doors,
procured quantity Of carbon oil in a
bucket He returned with it and poured it
over his wife, who yet remained in bed,
thoroughly saturating her clothing.
He then declared his intention of burn
ing her alive, and. seizing her by the feet,
dragged her to the CRATE in the bedroom.
There her clothing caught fire, and she
would, no doubt, have burned to death but
for the timely arrival of parties who lived
in one end of the same house in which the
Harmonys reside. They put out the fire on
Mrs. Harmony's clothing, she being but
slightly burned, but terribly frightened.
After this demoniacal deed Harmony
gathered up his little son Raymond and
went over to the home of his father, VINO
lives but a short distance from his house.
He told his mother and sister that he
wanted them to look after the child, and
leaving him with them, turned and almost
Immediately drew Barlow knife from his
pocket He slashed it across his throat,
severing the iugular vein. A few moments
later he was dead.
The only apparent cause for the mad act
is that Harmony had been drinking hard
for several years, which had finally affected
his mind.
The trial of John Sappo, the Slav who
killed his brother Frank at Grindstone last
November, ended here to-day in q verdict
of voluntary manslaughter. 1t could not
be learned why he had killed his brother
except because he was drunk and did not
know what he was doing. He was found in
the basement OF a house in which about 20
Slavs were holding a drunken carousal in
an upper room, with a smoking pistol in
his hand and his brother lying dead on the
floor with bullet hole through his heart.
Not man testified in his behalf He can
not speak word of English.
