Cruelty TO Animals.

Some people, good and honorable In
other respects, seem to be devoid Of al
feeling for dumb animals, IS seemed to be
the case with a Mexican who drove a team
of burros on Bridge street the other day.
He had them hitched to the wagon with
chain traces and these we're patched here
and there with a wire, a sharp edge OF
this was protruding so that every step the
patient little animal took the wire dug
into lis flesh which was raw and bleeding.
The matter could have been remedied in a
moment by wrapping the trace with a rag
and this was suggested to the stolic driver.
An ignorant stare was the only answer.
Sdbe? was asked him. 81, he answered as
he drove on up the street, apparently in
different.
1t would not have been right to have had
him arrested, for then bis wife and inno-
cent children would probably have suffered
along with the burro, but IL he could have
been hauled off the wagon and given q
taste of a ''water beech gsd' it might have
made an impression on his hide, II not on
his mind.

A rousing meeting was held by the I'm.

Albuquerque in Spanish yesterday after

With the president of the Prince club
serving time in Jail, and Prince himself

fair to presume that the aforesaid club has
gone the way of the Mckinley and Hobart
club, Of this city.
Jefferson Reynolds, who IL now In Can

In the silver cause, and that it will not be

Dynamite Bomps /

Deputy Marshal II. W. LOOMS received
from the railroad company Wednesday,
the three dynamite bombs left by the traiu
robbers near the scene of the attempted
hold up, at Rio Puerco, the night Of O;tv-
Der I'd. He took them to the ole bridge
over the Rio Grande, back Of the far
grounds in Albuquerque, and dissected
them. says the Democrat.
He cut open the sticks of giant and broad
casted the powder into the river, then 10
moved the caps from the fuses and retain
ed the fuses, wrappers n string, ETC., a.
evidence,
He says that no further danger need be
apprehended from these bombs, but that
be will not be personally responsible for
the safety of red-hot gold bug who may
chance to wade the river at that point, for
the next twenty four hours.
The cheerful situation of an express mes
senger cooped up 10 a car, doing his duty.
at the best, is a dangerous one, with the
last described bomb lighted and placed
against the express car door, is especially
recommended to the consideration of any
one suffering with torpid liver.

TWELVE CITIES
Have Applied for Franchises in the
New League---YOungstOwn is the
Iatest---GlasscOck Gets an Offer.

Special TO the Register.
P.ttsburg. Pa, January Pa. c.
Buckenberger to-day received a letter
from John A. Mckee, President Of the
New Castle club. in which that gentle
man S ated that Youngstown, o., wanted
to Join the new Interstate League and
would have a representative at the meet
ing TO apply for a franchise. President
Mckee says he is anxious to have
Youngstown admitted, as It would be a
good thing for his team, as the rivalry
between the two cities has always been
intense
Youngstown would make better city
than Lima, as it s a better ball town.
This makes twelve applications al
ready for the eight franchises.
Jack Glasscock, of your city, has been
offered a position by the w. and J.
base ball management 10 go to Wash
ing.on. TO coach their team. 1t is very
likely he will accept the offer, as it is
for two months.

"Jack" Glasscock has definitely de-
cided that he won't play in Comiskey S

nate is too cheap for Honest Jack, who
thinks his services are worth at least
as much as LOTUS offered him. He re-
ceived a postal from COmiskey yester-
day. and will probably say in answer
that his price is $500, and he will not
play for less. Jack" likes Wheeling
very well, and would probably consent
to captain the local club if the manage
ment of the Wheeling team will make
him a good offer. There is no uniform
that would fit Jack" quite as we'll as
