BASEBALL FOR 1898.
WILL THERE BE A TEAM IN
PROTIDENCE?
The Annual Meeting of the Association
VIII be Held at the Narragansett
Hotel This Evening.

This evening the stockholders OF the
Providence Baseball Association will hold
their annual meeting at the Narraga nsett
Hotel. The reports OF the treasurer and
other officers will be heard and the bust
ness of last season will be completed,
after which plans will be discussed for
the coming season, and it will be def
nitely settled whether team Will be
placed In the field or not
AS is well known, the last season was
not success, financially considered. and
IL Is rot known whether majority OF
the sto kholders will wish to put more
money into the venture this year or not.
There are some OF the stockholders, how
ever, who are of the opinion that with
the reduced salary list there is "A good
chance not only of paying expenses this
season, but also of getting back part
or the whole OF the money lost
last season. The salary paid TO the play
ers this season is not 10 exceed Sl25 per
month TO any one man and had this teen
the limit last year the club would have
finished the season with money in the
treasury. OF course. the PLAYERS will OBJ
ject TO playing for this reduced salary,
but as there are plenty of new players to
be found every wear, there is no doubt
that team can be secured that will play
good ball.
Manager Burnbam has already secured
the signatures of several of the mem bers
OF last years team TO contracts with the
understanding that the salary Is less and
plenty more can be secured later.
The prospects are even better than last
year, and II some OF the present stock
holders are not inclined to risk any more
money la the venture there will doubt
less be OF hers who will take the stock off
their hands. The general public are in-
tere ted TO Q what will be the outcome
of he meeting. as the game is as popular
here as ever
1t is hoped that a good number of
stockholders will be present at the NEE :
ing, in order that as nearly as possible
the plans for the coming season may be
made. The meeting OF the League will
be held next Friday at Buffalo, ami the
clubs are all expected to be represented.

FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

Great Preparations are being Made To
Celebrate the Holiday.
st. Patrick's Day will be celebrated by
the patriotic Irishmen or Providence
with all due allegiance to the memory Of
their patron saint. Chief Marshal Swee-
ney and his coadjutors are maxim Z ex-
teusive preparations for bonoring the
day in a fitting and comprehensive man
ner.
A convention of the delegates repre-
sentinR various Irish organizations met
last evening at which time several re-
ports of work already in progress were
presented and additional work was out
lined.
Invitations have been extended on the
authority of Chief Marshal Hackett to
all the Irish organizations in the state,
requesting that they arrange, IL possible
TO participate ia the coming parade.
With two exceptions the invitations have
been &C cepted and a very large parade is
In consequence anticipated.
The work OF raising funds to supply
sinews for the event has been far more
successful than at first expected. IL is
thought that the amount already raised
will be amply sufficient to liquidate all
expenses, but In case OF necessity the
present fund can easily be augmented to
any desired amount. The musical feat
ures will be amply provided for, both the
American Band aud Stones Continental
Band having been engaged for the occa-
sion.
In parade the column will be divided
into four parts. military. cadets, II par-
nian societies aud Irish National Forest

Nothing in his inaugural indicated with

This fact makes it plain that re-

WAR MONEY.
THIRTEEN HUNDRED MILLION
DOLL1RS LYING IDLE.
How European Countries Impoverish the
People to Provide Money for Possible

PARIS. March 6-The reserve funds to
provide for the expenses of war are
causing great anxiety in the financial
world by the forced immobilization of
such colossal sums. These treasures.
which do not come under the inspection
OF the military attaches, are nevertheless
the most formidable warlike instru-
ments in existence.
Germany was the first country TO create
such reserve fund, which has been the
cause OF her success for century past.
AT present the treasure is locked up at
Spandau in the old julius Tower, and
amounts to l. 800, 900 000f. The key OF the
treasure house is kept by the Emperor
himself, and rather than allow one single
piece of gold TO go out he would allow
Germany's signat ure to be pr otested.
France, which possesses war reserve
Of oO,OO0,000f, would have the greatest
advantage over her neighbor, because
nearly iour-fifths OF the money would oe
expended in this country, while Germany
would get barely two-rifths.
Notwit hstanding the famine and the
disturbed state OF her finances, Russia
has reserve of 2, l25, 900. .000f.
Austria has barely $50 millions. and
even that was formed with the greatest
difficulty. 1t was only upon the advice
amounting almost TO an order-from the

decided TO make the necessary sacrifices.
Italy is the poorest power of Europe.
and specialists do not believe that she
could find the $50 million francs neces-
sary for the mobilization of her army. Ii
she did there would be nothing left, and
the army would be obliged to live either
in the enemy's territory or at the ex
pense OF her allies.
Thus there is sum of e,525 million
francs lying idle and awaiting the mo-
ment when it would serve for the destruc-
tion OF large portion of the youth of
Europe. In Germany commercial crises
are becoming chronic, salaries are dimin-
ishing. while the cost or living Is increas-
ing
Russia can no longer SOW her corn and
Italy is daily approaching inevitable
bankruptcy. The populations are begin-
ming to get tired of this grand policy.
France alone can support with relative
ease the necessary sacrifices, and that is
what other powers reproach her with,
and among the causes which threaten the
maintenance of peacs this is not the
least. But France desires peace and tue
time TO work for herself.

WHY HE WAS HANGED.
COf'S LAWYER SPEAKS OF THE
CRIME or Hrs CLIENT
Ihe Killing OF Whaien Thought by the
Attorney to Have Been JustilabIe.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, March GA near
relative could not have felt worse over the
hanging OF Coy than did Lawyer Park
hurst, who, together with Lawyer Joiner,
made such gallant fight for the life of his
client
Mr.. Parkhurst was greatly interested TO
hear the particulars and especially was
anxious to know how Coy stood the ordeal;
whether or no he assembled the steps TO the
scaffold without aid whether he showed
fortitude or gave way TO his feelings
whether death was apparently painless,
l. he made a Struggle
All OF these questions be asked and
seemed pleased TO know that Coy walkec
unaided to the scaffold that his death was
painless, and that there was no struggle
after the trap was sprung.
With tears in his eyes he showed plainl,
his relief at being assured that there was
an unusual absence Of the blood curdling
features which occasionally accompany
hanging. Speaking of the crime, he said:
Coy told me that he killed Whalen i'm
fight; that Whalen's trunk was in the
center of the room, and in IL was some of
his wife's clothing, which had been placed
there by her, with the intention of eloping
with Whalen; shat while he (Coy) was re-
moving his wife's clothes from the trunk,
Whalen, who was drunk, came in, and
with an oath asked him what right he had
to open that trunk. Coy replied that he
had right To take out his wife's clothing.
"Whalen, Coy claims, then rushed at
him with club, and knocked him down
in the corner of the room. When Coy was
able to pick himself up Whalen had
secured the axe, and, rushing for him,
made a vicious blow at him, which he
lodged. Coy grabbed the axe and wrested
II from Whalen. Whalen, so Coy claims,
then secured the club, and, in self-defense.
Coy struck Whalen with the back Of the
axe.
Coy then realized that he had killed
Whalen, and says that for an hour or more
he sat on the edge of the bed and thought
the matter over. There was almost a pint
ot the liquor left, and after drinking that
demon seemed to take possession Of him,
and all his british instincts came to the
surface, and he cut Whalen up. Ii was
early in the morning, and before he had be-
gun to get sober, that he mutilated the
body and subsequently buried it,"
Lawyer Parkhurst has not the slightest
doubt but the killing of Whalen was in
self-defense, and that the mutilation of
the body was the result of drink, and the
act was the outcome of supposed cunning
of drunken man, who i'm his sober senses
would have abhorred such deed.

EARTH SINKS.
The Town of sandgate, England, Subsidies
Several Feet.

SeNcTht
LONDON, March 6.-Saturday night the
people of Sandgate. county of Kent. were
aroused by the rocking of houses and
loud rumblings underground. Walls
split, ceilings fell, foundations sank and
roofs tell. AS the Inhabitants fled
Co the streets they found large rents in
the ground, and were almost over
come by noxious yapors. Everybody
supposed hat the town was being shaken
by an earthquake, aud as the rumDling
con inued hundreds fled in panic to the
nearest towns. few remained behind
o remove furniture from the falling
houses.
The reports carried abroad by the fupi-
tives caused the troops in an adjacent
camp To hasten to the aid OF the D ople
still in Sandgate. Soldiers and citizens
worked for two hours in movinx the
most valuable property from the houses,
aud in erecting tents In the fields about n
mile outside the town for the women and
children. At the end of that time the
rumbling had ceased aud an investiga-
tion was made.
IL was found that the ground on which
Sandgate sands had sunk several feet,
and that less subsistence had ex ended
throughout the surrounding district, al
fecting / all about u square mile
Many cottages had Deen completely
wrecked, and the better built houses had
been cracked and thrown out of plumb
so that they could no. be occupied with
safety. Nevertheless mauy of the inhab-
itants returned to the town toward
morning. Between and o'clock, how
ever, they were frightened away by fur
ther subsistence OF the ground aud the
recurrence of the rumbling. These phe-
nomena were repeated several times dur
ing the day, and the town now Is prac l.
caiy deserted. As far as known no lives

DISAGREEABLE MONTH.
OBSERY1TIONS
FOR FEBRUARY.
What the Prophets Have to Say I'm Re-
gard to Spring and summer Weather
for This Year.

February was a cold, snowy month
whicn all well remember without the
aid of these figures from the city engi-
neer's Office, but they are interesting, for
they tell exactly how much humanity
suffered.
The mean barometric pressure was
2994 degrees. The minimum tempera-
ture on the first day of February was 20. 5
degrees aud three days later IL was down
to degrees. On the Goth It was down TO
SIS. the O west during the month, and Oh
the 2lst il was g degrees. The highest
temperature was so. 5 degrees and was on
the 18th The mean for the month was
% / degrees, against 1913 degrees for Feb
ruary. 1892
During the month the daily mean TEN.
perature ranged from degrees to 8 de-
grees Fahrenheit below the February
normal throughout all sections OF the
United States excepting the South n
lantic and East Gulf states and New
Mexico.
But this weather gave the ones who
delight in out-of-door sports little chance
Tor exercise. There were thaws and
snowfalls which prevented the enjoy
ment of winter games. There were
eleven snow falls. They were on the lst,
3D., 9th, 9th, 18th, 17Jh, 10Th, 2lst, 24th,
25th aud 18th. Thirty-siX inches was the
depth of the fall. In February, 1892,
eight inches fell.
Rain or snow fell on eighteen days. 1t
was clear four days and fair six days.
The wind blew north five days; north
east, two days; south, one day; south
west, two days; northwest, eight days.
and was variable eight days.
The effect of this anomalous season on
the agricultural welfare aud the health
OF the country must be very pronounced.
AS IL draws to a close, especially after the
equinox, there is reason TO fear that the
mortality among tue aged, the infirm
and all classes who suffer from any con-
stitutioual disorder will be exceptionally
heavy. The arrival of spring will find
such invalids deblitated by the long,
cold winter and IA ready prey Tor disease.
In respect to the injury doGe the grow
ing grain crops by alternate thdws and
intense frosts, il is too soon TO speak with
certainty. 1t would be consoling if we
had any good reason co conclude that we
shall have an early spring. which will
make amends for the winters distemper-
atures, but such conclusion would be
premature and baseless.
From present indications the prophets
say that we snail have a late and rather
cold, inclemelt spring, at least until the
latter part Of April, with the chances in
favor of an exceptionally warm summer.
