He Has Been Seen at Scottdale Repeatedly
Since tho Recent Murder.
ScorrDALE April 15.-[Speciai. while the
Sheriff and posse have been hunting Pritts,
one of the murderers of old man Hochstet-
ler that muci-wanted man has been on sew
eral shopping excursions. Pritts has been
spending several days with friends near Ore
Mines, q hamlet in the mountains about
seven miles from here. Tuesday last and
yesterday he was in town. Yesterday,
among several small articles purchased. he
brought two boxes of Al caliber cartridges
The man was looked upon with suspicion
here, though 1t was not known until to-day
that it was the notorious Pritts.
At Scottdale Junction lie was recognized
by two men who had known him years ago
in Somerset county. Their surveillance
seemed to cause Pritts considerable annoy
ance. He had bought a ticket for Mt. Pleas
ant, but refused to take the train, and after
remarking that Miller was fool for giving
himself up when he could have hidden for
lifetime. Pritts started for the mountains on
dared follow him. While here Pritts was
on the streets. giving scenes of the murder
and murderers. He examined his own pho
tograph very carefully and then remarked to
the bystanders: "That picture of Pritts is q
pretty good one, for used to know him my
self" There is 10 doubt felt here that
Pritts is even now in the vicinity of Ore
Mines, and can easily be found by his
friends, but woe to the enemy who comes in
sight.

FIXING FOR SPORT.
The Three AS Blossoming Out in
Their New Athletic Grounds.
BOB REESE ENGAGED AS TRAINER.
Recreation rark to Fave Many Much
Needed improvements.
A SPECIAL PARK FOR LAWN TENNIS

The Allegheny Athletic Association has
secured a trainer and its members will be at
work in a short time preparing for the sum-
mer field meetings. The new trainer is
Bob Reese, an old English sprinter, who
has been s trainer for athletes for years.
He will have full charge of the new park. as
we'll as the athletic work of the young men.
The association is very proud of its new
park, and sill spend considerable money in
| putting it in frst-class shape Recreation
Park always did make pretty picture
from the stand and the Three AS are going
to have it in as good condition as ever. The
diamond will be rolled down solid and the
outfeld will be kept in short lawn grass.
The running track will be put in good order.
1t is now about half cinders and the other
half is clay. 1t may all be made cinder
later, but not at present.
A Special Park for Tennis.
The club also leased the old Y. NJ. c. A.
Park Just across the street from Recreation
for lawn tennis. At present six courts will
be laid out, but more will be added as fast
as needed, if it requires dozen to keep the
members going By having the tennis in
this park, baseball or other sports will not
interfere with the games.
The grandstand and clubhouse will be
fixed up. Lockers will be put in for the use
of the members. There is now good bath
room under the grandstand. If the weather
will permit, the work of making the changes
will begin Monday morning. The diamond
in Recreation Park and the tennis ground
will be plowed up and rolled As soon as
it settles it will be in excellent shape tor
playing.
Since the first of the year $50 new names
have been added to the membership list of
the club, making in all about 400. 1t is ex-
pccted that the track will bring in large
number of bicycle riders. The tennis courts
will increase the membership among the
ladies.
The Seasons Schedule of Journeys
There are already announced two open
athletic tournaments one on July and the
other on September "a. There will also be
club field day some time during the season.
In the tennis department there will in all
probability be one open and one club
tournament
There are quite a number of baseball
games scheduled with good amateur teams
East and West. The association will have
first-class ball team. 1t will be made up
of the best men in the Three AS and there
is some good material to choose from.
The association is fully prepared for
cricket, but has no team. However. there
are number of good cricketers in the club
who will doubtless have games among them
selves. In another season a cricket team
will doubtless be added to the other feat
ures of the association.
The club will have frst-class place
when it is finished, but it has been done
only at great expense. Having the ar
rangements for athletic meetings and races
of all sorts, it is expected that the park will
be sub-let for field days given by associa-
tions not so favored as to own good parks

New England. Each weighed l3S pounds.
For the first ten lounds there was lively
fighting, either man trying for knock out.
In the rushing Falvey had the best OF it.
From the tenth to the fortieth round it was
more like an exhibition, very little actual
fighting being done. At this time, Frazier
seemed very tired, while Falvey was fresh
ening. There we're calls for a draw at the
end of the flfty-fifth round at 10 o'clock, but
this was not allowed. From this OH to the
seventy-seventh round it swas walk

troIIer Morrow Wants 1t Cheapened or

Tie Board of Assessors are making prep
arations for the printing of descriptive
list of all the taxable real estate in the city
according to the act of 1887, under which
the board was created although no pro-
vision was made for snch a list in this
years appropri ations Where the money
is to come from no one seems to know, but
the law requires the list and it will be
printed.
There is general sentiment among city
officials that this list is a waste of money,
and is of no benefit to anyone except to real
estate agents. The list of three years ago
cost s., 900, and although some of the print
ed copies were sold the city only received
$50 for them, and the bulk of the edition is
still on the City Treasurer's hands. The
price first fixed for the books was 50 per
set, but for the past year they have been
"marked down" by a resolution of Councils
to % cents set
The books are printed in two volumes of
several hundred large pages each, and,
owing to the rule and figure work required
in their composition, are very expensive to
prepare. After the last triennial assessment
the courts decided unconstitutional section
OF the law requiring taxable property to be
assessed at the price of the 'last recorded
sale,' in the absence of other information
as to value. The charter ordinance pro-
vided that the printed list should contain a
concise description of each piece of real
estate as well as the price paid and the date
of the last recorded sale

to offer an amendment simplifying the list.

He will also ask that the books be either

THE LATEST BETTING.

Goodwin's Adv!ces Regarding the Brooklyn
and Suburban. Turf Handicaps.
The following is an official statement from
Goodwin Bros. to this paper last evening re-
garding the latest betting on the Suburban
and Brooklyn handicaps: Quite some little
betting has been indueed in since our last
quotations, those of the long priced division
being the ones to be nibbled at. Winning
something for comparatively nothing is
naturally the desire of all those who take
flyers at the big handicaps. The following
will show how the Short 'uns' have been
sought after:
For tho Brooklyn Judge Morrow's price
has fallen from 25 to 20: Strathneath from 80
to Is: Tclrifier from 40 to 30: his Stable COM
panion. Russell, from 20 to Is; Portchester
from 40 to q. and tine favorite, Lnngstreet,
from 6 to the very short price of 4; some OF
the 'bookies'' have him 8.
For the Sui burban, Ambulance, Fairview
and English Lady have been backed down
to 40 to l each; StIathmeath, Rey del Rey
ana San Juan to 30 each: Allan Bane and
George w. from 200 to s5 May Win and War
path TO 60 from 100: the same applies to Peter
and Beansy: Tristan has always shown
strength from the start, and although 20 to
was not very tempting, still his price has
been cut 10 l5

A PLAIN STATEMENT,
In Which the Truth Is Told without FeaY.
or Favor.

Treating as many patients as Drs. Cope
land, Hall and Byers 10, it is but natural
that they should be subject to some adverse
criticism on the part OF II few dissatisfied
ones; but investigation of such cases al
ways reveals the fact that these disgruntlcd
ones have been careless and negligent in
the use of their medicine. In some cases
during the cold season n patient will take a
severe cold Immediately after beginning
treatment and for a few weeks feel worse
than before, and thus grow discouraged and
discontinue.
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers work no
miracles and perform no sorceries. They
cure catarrh, but it is by patient, regular,
systematic and methodical treatment.

tel piece and let it remain there day after
day without using it will undoubtedly fail
to get cure, and this Is the class Of pa
tients who claim they have not been Dene-
flied.
Another thing Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers have to contend against is the wealth
er. During the severe and frequent changes
OF the weather, rs the season passes from
winter into spring, the high winds which
carry pneumonia and other pulmonary
troubles into every family, make 1t almost
impossible to cause any headway in tho
treatment of catarrhal troubles. II one can
only hold his own during snch time he is do
ing remarkably well Given favorable
weather, the cooperation of the patient and
q reasonable period of time they can cure
any case OF catarrh. no matter OF how long
standing or degree of severity.
