NO PARDON FOR The GANG
Friends of the "Sledqe Hammer
Thieves Quietly Circumvented.
Law Officers Exerted Themselves to
Prevent President Cleveland from
Releasing Criminals.

The efforts of certain persons in this city to
have President Cleveland pardon the three
members of the notorious 'sledge ham
mer gang" of burglars, who are now serving
twelve years each in Albany penitentiary,
were neatly circumvented yesterday. Those
who opposed the pardon and gave the most
excellent reasons for so doing, were the
District attorney, Inspector Hollinberger and
Detective !Weedon.
This was one OF the most desperate ag-
gregations of house ebreakersandsafe blowers
in the United States, and had operated ex-
tensiveiy in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia, when they were rounded
up here on February l, 1898.
The clews were worked up by Inspector
Hollinberger and Detectives Boardman,
Weldon and Lacey, and on the above
mentioned night the entire detective
force, headed by the stalwart Inspector IN
person, surrounded their rendezvous. This
was a squatty brick house, No. 345 Maine
avenue, kept then by a Mrs. Lackey.
The mencaptured in the raid We're Charles
-Foulke, Charles F. Banks and John SayleS.
Twoothermemberso OF the edgehammers,
James Mccarthy and william Yeatman,
We're arrested the same night in Penn
sylvania avenue saloon. Sayles was known
as the big sledge hammer" or leader.
Their instructor in crime was the motor
iOus burglar, George McCauley, who is
now serving a term in the Virginia pen"
for highway robbery.
In the Maine avenue house the detective
captured a supply OF giant powder and
fuses, for safe blowing, three loaded re-
volvers and other implements OF burglary.
To these men were traced the rObDerieS
of Nicolai Brothers safe, the blowing OF
the safe OF the Arlington bottling es-
tablishment, from which they stole $3.50,
the robbery Of a Catholic church in
Rockville, besides several other daring
jobs in neighbOring Virginia and Mary
land towns. When the men were brought
to trial Sayles, the leader, turned States
evidence and connected Charles F. Banks,
alias Little York Slim,' James Nc
Carthy, alias Jimmie Gunk,'' and Charles
FouIke
They were each sentenced to serve
twelve years at hard labor in the Albany
peuiteniary James Nolin, another mem
ber of the gang. fled from Washington in
! time to escape arrest.
Inspector HOliinberger and Detective
Weldon regard the 'sledSe hammer gang
| as the worst lot Of thieves that ever infested
| this section. Therefore when the friends
! OF the prisoners made a quiet move TO
| have them paTdOned, these officers resisted
| the effort. twas stated on good authority
| last night that the President VIII refuse
| to entertain the application for pardon,
| which is SAID to be based on statements that
| the men are inill health and have reformed.

HARvARD-CoRNELL LEAGUE.

Relations.

It Was Simply an nEXtensionof riendly
Relations.
New York, June ia special dispatch
from Ithaca, TO the Evening Post, says:
Prof. h. s. White, dean of the Cornell
faculty, and the member OF the athletic
council who was the principal negotator
on CoTneIl's side in arranging the Harvard
Cornell, league, says that the agreement
was not the result OF any special circum-
stances in this years athletics, but was
merely yanextensiont nto boating and baseball,
friendly relations already existing between
the two universities in football
Harvard has always been ready to meet
Cornell in baseball, and this is the first
year for long time in which no Harvard
Cornell baseball game has been arranged.
1t was due principally to the decision of
the Cornell management not to make a
New England trip this year, and TO the
inability OF the Harvard team to come to
Ithaca.
In boating, also, Harvard has in the past
entertained kindly feelings toward Cornell,
and has been willing to admit Cornell TO
the Harvard Y ale races, but Yale has on
one excuse or another declined Cornell's
application.
As regards COrnel's relations with Prince
ton. Columbia and Pennsylvania, it is
believed that they VIII not be affected

New York, June 13.-Hard luck is still
pursuing the New Yorks. In the ninth in
ming of to-day's game with the st. Louis
Browns Bonner raped a hot grounder
which Rusie tried to stop. The ball struck
him on the fore finger of his right hand,

for several days. Both teams played poorly,
but the Browns could not hit Rusie at OPP
perfume times The feature wax a triple
play by Rusie, Farrell, aud Stafford, which
had to be recorded as such according to
ruling of President Young. Cooley sent
a bunt fly uear first base and Rusie could
not get near 1t. Cooley was called out
but Breitensteiu and Brown were confused
and started to run, when they saw that
Rusie could not reach the fly aud they
were both thrown out. Attendance, 800.

TO TEST THEIR AUTHORITY.
Right of Commissioners TO Prevent
Erection of TeIegrnph Poles.


Erection of Telegraph Poles.
A writ to prevent Judge Kimball from
sentencing two telegraph linemen, convicted
several days ago of Illegally stringing wires
and raising poles, has been made out and the
result of the subsequent proceedings viii,
no doubt, throw light on the rights of the
Commissioners and all other municipal au-
thorities to make and enforce regulations.
An act of Congress, passed in 1856, gave
the telegraph companies the right to erect
poles on all post roads in the United States,
and later, by another act, declared the
streets in the District of Columbia to be post
roads.
Under these laws the Postal Telegraph
Company were erecting poles and stringing
wires on Ninth street, when several of the
men were arrested. The telegraph COM
pany claims that the detention, sentence or
conviction of it's Iinemen is not legal and
has secured the writ
