A fourth case Of diphtheria was discov-
cred in town Monday by DR.. Goodrich,
who was called to visit Royce, the older
son of Mr.. e. l.. Bass, and found that the
disease was undoubtedly diphtheria. The
lad is not considered dangerously ILL, and
the spread of the contagion is being pre-
vented by rigid quarantine and other
precautions. The two Goodrich boys are
gradually recovering from an attack OF the
same trouble. This morning it was learned
that Mr.. Eass' younger son had been TAX
en- sick and exhibited symptoms of diph-
theritic sore throat. Both cases are very
light and at any other time would cause
but little apprehension.

TOM power IS BLUff|NC
He Saws q Pacific Coast Club Is After
Him.
M'DERMOTT IS NOT ANXIOUS
Thinks Power Is Foar.flushin. and Will
Let Syracuse Manager Settle II.
Players viii All Be Here
Saturday.

Apparently Tom Powers will not play
in Scranton this year. He is an old
hand at the contract business and has
tried q four flush draw against Man
ager McDermott, who In turn, being as
crafty as Power, called the bluff. 1t
has been matter of Power wanting
more money from Scranton than he re-
ceived from Syracuse last year, at the
same time intimating that he wished to
play on the Pacific slope. When the
telegra phic correspondence reached this
point Monday night. McDermott dis
continued negotiations and yesterday
wrote Herr Kuntzsch, Of Syracuse. from
whom Power was bought for 5000, to
deliver the goods or return the two
hundred.
AFTER THE PURCHASE.
Three weeks ago the purchase was
made and McDermott sent to Colorado
u contract for Power to sign. He did
not reply, nor could he be located by
further letters and kilograms. Sunday
he wired McDermott that the Scran-
ton terms were not satisfactory, and
McDermott wired back asking the Cali
fornian what his terms We're. Power
replied, saying he did not want to play
here and was negotiating with Pacific
coast club. Then 1t was that Scran-
toms manager decided to call the BLUM
and he yesterday wrote Kuntzsch in
forming him of Powers position and
asking ''wot tell"
Valuable as Power is, he was par
ticularly wanted only to captain the
team, as in Pierce Chiles. the West Vir-
ginian. Mac thinks he has man who
IL all right for first base as far as the
position and hitting are concerned. So
Power with his four-fush will be left
to decide with the Syracuse manager
what he will do.
PRACTICAL GAMES.
Meanwhile. McDermott is hustling
along his plans for the beginning Of the
season. BY Saturday the players will
report here and begin training prepar-
atory to starting next Tuesday night on
the practice trip. Hartford and New
Haven are scheduled for the opening
games on Wednesday and Thursday,
hut McDermOtt has chance to begin
with Princeton and Orange and may let
the New England games go by the
board, as the New Jersey dates are
much more satisfactory, on account of
distance, for a beginning. The other
games scheduled are:
April II and IS at Paterson.
April 90 at New Bedford.
April q at Newark.
April - and % at Brockton.
April "A and 25 at Fall River
April q and IS at home. Cuban Giants.
April 20 at home, Carbondale.
After reporting here and until their
departure the men will do a portion of
their training on a hand-ball court
which is being built at the northwest
corner of the grounds near the dress
ing rooms. Any systematized ball
nln wing will mot ha tod until fhp
scheduled practice games begin.

day and looks fit to play the game of
his life. During February and March
he reduced his weight twenty pounds.
Several players are en- route.

will have been made as comfortable

Buffalo, N. Y. April Fire at the
driving park last night destroyed the
stables leased by Alonzo Mcdonald the
well-known trainer. and 20 valuable
horses were burned to death. The fire
was caused by the explosion Of an oil

There were 30 horses in McDonalds s
string, most of which arrived here last
Thursday. Among those which per-
ished were Red Gothard and Blue Bird.
The stables were owned by j. C. Ham,
