From the Baltimore American.
Albany, Nov 20.-From out his $4,000, 900
Anthony N. BRADY of New York city and
Albany will, in all probability, on Thanks
giving day pay over to Congressman
George N Southwick 5000 IN satisfaction
of a bet made with the millionaire that
Mr.. Southwick would not drink any in
toxicating liquor until after Thanksgiv-
ing, 1896. The bet was a result of a con-
versation had a year ago. Southwick had
just been elected to congress over Gen.
Charles Tracey, and there was a jubila-
ton over the result. Congressman South
wick is young man; so young that he
was dubbed the boy tariff talker," and
his friends, in a joking way, were pic
turing to him the dangers to young man
that lay in the life at Washington.
Il will make you bet that life at
Washington will not harm me-" he said
why, l will wager that l do not take
one drink during the coming year"
Ozone for g Co., said Brady, and the
wager was made.
During the year Congressman South
wick has been tempted often, but he has
not fallen.
The greatest temptation was, perhaps
felt last summer. when Congressman
Southwick was chairman of the repub-
lican state convention. He obtained con-
troll of the convention, but his efforts were
herculean, and he was quite played when
his labors were over.
Take a glass of wine to restore you,"
said one of his friends.
mo, thank YOU" said the exhausted
man.
Mr.. Brady was near and he sent word
that the bet was off If Mr.. Southwick felt
the need of stimulant after his labors
Mr.. Southwick did not, however accept
the offer.
Paying the wager Will not be a difficult
thing for Mr. Brady, for, If current ru-
mors are true, MIR. Brady made a quarter
of a million on the rise IN Chicago Gas
stock just before election, and has made
as much money on the rise Of the stock
market since election.

AN EARLY MoRNING FIRE
In the American Fish Hook Company's
 Building on Aruizan Street.

In the American Fish Hook Company's
 Building Aruizan Street.
 An alarm of fire was sent in at two o'clock this morning from box 213, on Artizan street. At that hour a blaze shot up from the roof of the three-story building belonging to the American Fishhook company at Nos. Il and 13 Artizan street
 The fire was discovered by Patrolman Harry Winchell.
 The whole neighborhood was lighted up by the flames, which spread rapidly along the roof, threatening the Hubbell & Merwin building.
 The three streams of water which Chief Kennedy, who arrived at the scene almost as soon as the alarm struck, had playing soon had percep- tible effect, and the fire was confined to the roof and the top floor of the building.
 The building belongs to the American Fishhook company and is valued at S15,000 The top floor is occupied by Case & Barker, electro-platers They will lose all their stock and machinery.
 A. S. Hem, hardware manufacturer, has the first floor. The damage done there will be principally by water. The owners of the building, the American Fishhook company, have enameling works for bicycles on one floor of the building. There are several other small concerns in the building. The loss to the companies doing business there, In addition to the loss on the building itself, will aggregate about $5,000, all of which is said to be cov- cred by insurance.
 The close proximity of the fire to a number of buildings containing infiam- mabIe materials caused a second alarm to be sent, but the engines were not needed.
 Patrolmen Winchell Gilligan and Doughan, who were first on the scene, took care of eight horses belonging to c. F. Hart & Co.,, removing them to Cruttenden's stables on Union street The burning building was surrounded by others used fo' manufacturing pur- poses, and only the prompt work of Chief Kennedy's men prevented a more serious confiagration.

PoPULrsTS CRY BRIBERY.
Complete Failure of the Indiana Demo
 crats and Whiskerites to Fuse.

Indianapolis, Sept Exchanges were flying thick and fast to-day in connec- ton with the failure of the populistic committee of thirteen and the demo- cratic leaders to accomplish fusion at the conference of yesterday. Charges of bribery were openly made. The Sen- tinel, under the headline Rank Bribery Attempted" gives a two-column story of the affair, which contains interviews with l.. w. Hubbell of Pulaski county and Captain s. M. Shepard of Indian apolis, both members of the populistic committee, in which they say they were approached and offered large sums of money to prevent fusion.
 Members of the populistic committee deny that the decision against fusion was influenced in the least by money, and all declare that Sewdll must come off the ticket before fusion, on any terms, will be agreed to.

INDIANS ACCUSED OF MURDER.
Mysterious Death of the Proprietor of m
 American Iron Foundry.

American Iron Foundry.
 Calais, Me, Sept. 1S.--A report is current here that Michael McMonagle, proprietor of an iron foundry, started Wednesday afternoon from St. An- drews to cross St. Andrews Bay to the Pleasant Point Indian village, on the American side, in a canoe, accompa- nied by Sebattis Joseph and another Indian named Leola. When part way across the canoe upset and McMonagle was drowned. A man named Frost, on the American shore, says he saw an Indian strike McMonagle on the head with Q paddle, knocking him over board.
 When he came to the surface Frost says he heard McMonagle cry for help and mercy, and saw the Indian strike him again, then paddle to shore. The Indians told Frost the paddle broke, an Indian fell overheard and that Me- Monagle upset the canoe and drowned in trying to save him. Sebattis and I.eola came to Calais yesterday and went to Princeton this morning. Sher- if Foster started for Peter Dana's Point, on the Big Lake, this evening and will arrest both Indians if they can be found.

INrERNl1I0N4L CRICKET.
Australian and Picked Philadelphia
 Elevens Meet.

Australian and Picked Philadelphia Elevens Meet.
 Philadelphia, Sept. 1S-The first of the series of three cricket matches to be played between the Australian team, which arrived a few days ago from a victorious trip through England, and the picked eleven of gentlemen cricket CTS of Philadelphia was begun to-day on the grounds of the Germantown Cricket club at Mannheim. The weather conditions were unfavorable, heavy rains having left the grounds soft and the threatening weather early in the day keeping away many persons.
 Several hundred persons were present when the game started and the number was increased during the afternoon to about 2,00O. The visitors gave fine exhibition of hitting while the fielding of the local men was clean and sharp throughout with the exception of two misses, which permitted Giffen to add nine runs to his big score.
 The Australian captain won the toss of the coin and sent his team to the bat. freddie and Darling went in to defend the wickets for Australia and Bailey and Patterson bowled for the locals. The bats1nen scored slowly and when eleven had been put together Darling's stumps were upset by Bailey, Giffen joined freddie and soon they had the bowling well guaged and the score was rapidly increased. The fielding of the locals was magnificent. These two batsmen, however, brought the score up to A when freddie was clean bowled by Brown and retired with 25 to his credit. Hill then joined Giffen and the great stand of the day ensued. The men both batted freely and cuts and drives under the boundary ropes were frequent. Bowlers were changed often with the hope of breaking the pair, but to no avail.
 A recess for luncheon was taken dur ing the inning of these two men, and when play was resumed they added rapidly to their scores. When Giffen had scored 53 he raised a high one to Clerk at mid-off, which that player let slip through his hands. Again at 59 he drove a hard high ball to long, on, which Riddle got under, but dropped. A few moments later, however, the great bats man was caught by Patterson Greg ork took Giffen's place. Giffen and Hill had raised the score from A to 13l Hill, soon after losing his partner, was clean-bowled by Brown.
 Graham, who took Hills place, was caught by Brown. The latter made a beautiful left-hand catch of his own bowling. The bowling of Brown and Bailey seemed to improve as the game progressed. and the batsmen were obliged to carefully defend their wick cts without adding to their scores. Captain Trott made fairly good stand and three of his partners lost their wickets while he was putting 16 to the score.
 The game will be resumed tomorrow morning. A. M Wood, one of Phila- delphia's best batsmen and fialders, was prevented from taking part in the match in consequence of the illness of his child. D. M. Creger took Woods place on the team

 From Nine to Twcnty-seven Miles. Manhattan, Beach, Sept. 1S.--The bi- cycle race meeting her to-day, mainly for the purpose of deciding the trial heats of the race meeting of the Quill club tomorrow, furnished an unexpect- ed treat to the 1,500 spectators. The star of the afternoon was Jimmy Michael, the Welsh wonder, who in the hour competition race made an entirely new set of figures for this country in an hour race, and incidentally broke all American competition records from to 27 miles inclusive.
 He raised the American hour record of twenty-seven miles made by Titus at Springfield last year to twenty seven miles and about 1,S00 yards. Michael is only nineteen years old and weighs but ninety-eight pounds. He seemed like a pigmy as he stood by the side of his two rivals, Starbuck of Philadelphia, and Weinig of Buffalo, at the start Each rider had his own pacemaker. Sextettes, quintettes, quads triplets and tandems performed the pacemak- ing, which was very poorly done, ex- cept in the case of the Jolla brothers the French trio At the crack of the pistol Weinig went to the front, Michael taking second place, and Starbuck bringing up the rear. The first mile was reeled off in 2:06 35 in the order named which was kept up until after passing the second mile in 4:10
 Michael passed the three miles in 6:12 3-5 and four miles in S:22; five miles in 1929 4-5 six miles in 12:33; seven miles in 14:34 2-5, and eight miles in 16:35 S-5.
 The Englishman covered nine miles in 1S:44 15, creating a new American competition record. as were all his times from that on. He lowered Titus special ten-n1ile record made on this track last year, by 9 2-5 seconds, cover ing the distance in 20:492-5 The time for eleven miles was 22:5S3-5; twelve miles 25:11; thirteen miles 27:23; four teen miles 29:261-5s fifteen miles 31 :34 2-5; sixteen miles 3:41 1-5 seven teen miles 35:4S 1-5; eighteen miles, 37 :38 3-5; nineteen miles 4005 3-5; twen- " mics 4Z:IG tWenly-one miles 44'29, twentytwo miles 46:44; twenty three miles 4S:57 2-5; twenty-four miles. 51 :O6 2-5; twenty-five miles, 53:1S; twenty six miles 55:S3 2-5; twenty-sev- en miles 57:50 3-5.

blow on the chest, and beside that has completely lost the hearing in one ear.
 "On the 18th of April, Alfred Albert, another of the men, was in trouble with the second mate while still in port at Cibu. The mate chased him with a big sheath knife, and to escape the blow the man jumped overheard. He had to struggle for his life owing to the swift current. Before returning to the ship he reported the case to the British consul but was told to go back to his ship. The consul said he had no man to help him, and advised reporting the case to the British consul in Bos- ton.
 May 8. The steward attacked an- other man and set the dog to biting him. The dog bit him in several places on the arm. That is only one instance of several where the mate set the dog to biting the men. In fact, this Is not a ship; it is hell af1oat, and, although every man has tried his best to get along, it has been all a failure. III treatment, curses and dog bites have been our reward.
 Left Cibu May 8. Lime juice not given, though some men went aft and complained of sore mouths and sore throats. This was July 25. The food had been bad all the voyage, and it continued bad to the end. Another man was hit with a bucket on the head. There is a good deal more to say, but it would take too long to say here. The fact is, this has been to us a life of misery on board ship from start to finish, especially on the outward bound voyage.''
