A Letter From MI. Reed.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 21.-In a letter
to Hon. Thomas B. Reed recently, H.
D. W. English of this city stated that
it was proposed by the Republican coun-
ty committee to submit the names of
Mckinley and Quay to the voters of
Allegheny county in order that they
might have a chance to show their pro-
ference for pre- sidential candidates, and
suggesting that as he had many warm
friends in this county his name be SUBJ
mitted as well.
Mr.. English received the following re-
ply from Mr. Reed:
81 have not the slightest desire to have
my name submitted in the way you sng-
gest. While 1 may have been glad OF
an opportunity under other oircumstan-
oes, under the present would not. In
no state where there is a candidate have
any friends of mine interfered with looa !
wishes nor will they with my consent
am very much obliged to you Tor the
personal kindness involved in your
suggestion and have very pleasant
memories of your previous kindness"

sympathy Was with the women.

Providence March 81 The hearing of
the case against Mrs. Clara Valois,
charged with the murder of her father,
John W. Rossler, at Sci tuate, on Novem-
Der z, was concluded in the eighth dis
trict court this afternoon, and the woman
was discharged as not probably guilty.
The evidence that it was case of suicide
was too strong to be overcome by the
theories of the prosecution. While At
torney Samuel W. Ashton, who conduct
ed the defence, was engaged in making
his closing argument, the people in the
co urt repeatedly applauded his efforts,
showing that the sympathies of the pub
lie were with the accused. A nefghbor-
hood quarrel, in which the daughter
incurred the enmtty of q number of per-
sons who figured in petty law suit, in
which the father was involved sho rtly
before his death, is generally rega rded
as responsible for the origin Of the story
that the daughter was RESPONSIBLE for
the death of her father, who is believed
TO have shot himself because of despon.
dency produced by worries of the litiga-
ton.

Indianapolis.

GUS labor riot, which resulted fatally to
one man and the injury of several Others
occurred between five and six this eve
ming on West Washin gton street. The
rioters kept up running fight for more
than square and created intense ex-
oitement in the crowded thoroughfares.
Nearly year ago, the employees of Taylor
& Chandeliers foundry went out on a
strike on account Ola difference regard
ing wages, and since that time there has
been periodical trouble, the strikers be-
ing determined that non-union men
should not work, and the management
being equally determined to employ no
other workmen. When the non-union
men were brought here, the firm was
compelled to place hunks in the shops
and serve it's men with their needs inside
the works. This evening when the men
left the shop for the day, a crowd OF
union men advanced upon them from
the west and, at the same moment, an
other crowd appeared on the east and
attacked the non-union men with clubs,
stones and bricks. A general fight en-
sued. Several pistol shots were fired and
union men, and Hooker Leo, a by
stander, were shot. Leo received two
bullets In The back, but neither of his
wounds Is considered fatal. Watson was
shot in the thigh and the wound may
prove fatal. Davis was shot through
the head and taken home in dying con.
dition. A number of strikers were beat
en- with stones and clubs and some bad
ly battered by the tin dinner pals.

shall be represented much more thorough
" at the Sportsmen's Exposition at Mad
ison Square.Garden, Now York, than this

nation will be attached to the Maine ex-
hibit for tine purpose of supplying intend
ing visitors to the state with all requisite
information regarding the railroads and
steamship lines connecting with the
summer resorts and hunting grounds of
Maine and their hotels and other accom-
modations. Mr.. George W. Morris, the
energetic and able advertising agent aud
publisher of il!ustrateds guide books to
the chief places of interest in the state,
has engaged large space in Madison
Square Garden for the location of the
bureau, and will exert himself to in
terest the parties In the state who would
derive the most benefit from the arrange
mont. 1t is understood that at the two
sportsmen's exhibitions that have been
held, some sections Of the state have
rece ived much more advertising than
others. The bureau of Information will
ensure Casoo Bay and other desirable por-
tions of Maine being brought adequately
to the attention of the class of people who

OFF FOR OLYMPIA.
American Athletes Off to Take Part in
Olympic Games.

New York. March 21.-The teams of the
Boston Athletic Association and the
Princeton University, which will repre-
sent American athletics at the revival
of the Olympic games at Athens on April
5, sailed this morning on the steamer
Fulda.
The teams will disembark at Naples
-and will take the overland route to
Greece. A large number of friends of
the departing athletes, including many
ladies, were at the dock, and the teams
received hearty God speed as the steam
ship left the dock at 11.36.
The Princeton team went on board the
steamer shortly after 8. Each of the
representatives of "Old Nassau" wore
re tulip in his button-hole and bou-
quets were showered on them by adj
miring fair ones.
The BostonianS came ON the run Just
before the gang planks were drawn in.
T. E. Burke, Arthur Blake, Ellery H.
Clark, L. P. Curtis, W. Welles Hoyt and
Gardner Williams comprise the Boston
delegates. The men from Boston did
not carry as many floral tributes as the
collegians, but the rally cry of the B.
A. G. was none the less in evidence.
The teams will arrive at Athens on
April 8. The games will begin on April
and last until April 10.
The portion of the programme in which
the Drawn and muscle of America will
be pitted against all corners is as fol-
lows: 100, 400, 500 and 1900 metres foot
races. ITO metres hurdle race, pole vault,
running broad and high jumps and long
distance races from Marathon to Athens
All the men are in fine condition.
By arrangement with the steamship
company, provisions have been made to
enable the men to practice on board dur
ing the voyage. Burke of the Boston
team Is undoubtedly the star of the com
bination. He is entered in the runs up
to 800 metres. and is a Splinter of inter.
national repute as quarter-mile runner.

Didn't Fight Hard Enough.

New York, March 21.-The prospect of
seeing six round bout betw cen Joe
Choinsky aud Kid Mccoy, who recently
achieved fistic fame by his defeating
Tommy Ryan, the welterweight cham.
pion, drew a big crowd to the boxing
tournament at the Grand Central palace
tonight The first bout was between
Solly Smith of Los Angeles, Cal, and
Jerry Barnett, of this city at 1873 pounds.
Smith did all the leading and had his
man clearly overmatched when the po-
lice interfered and therefore stopped the
bout after four seconds of the fifth round
was fought. Smith got the decision.
Jim Handler of Newark and Jack
Murphy of Long Island City engaged in
the next bout The police stoppeds it,
in the second round, deeming the boxing
too rough.

event of the night, was next an
nounced and the police said they wonld
not allow the bout to go on on its merits.

Kissed. The men thon shook hands and
confined themselves to exchanging gentle
blows. The greater part of the crowd
rose to leave. while the demonstration
of disapproval continued The men final
ly stopped sparring and Choinsky stepped
to the front of the stage and addressed
the spectators. saying it was no fault of
his or MoCoy's that the bout was stopped
by the police. This appeased the better
element and 1t remained seated. The
show ended in a fizzle and the men
stopped sparring at the end of the third
round.
