Jimmy" Rogers, who played brilliant
first base for Providence last year. has
been drafted by the Washington club II
is not known Just what position the youn
man will fill, but II is probable that the
Wagncrs will sell Cartwright and put
Rogers on the initial bag, where he has
played nearly all the time since he made

This action or the local management
seems to be the first step of a deal
by which Cartwright will become an oriole

New York, 1t will be remembered. Hanlon

Who the players are Manager Hanlon is
willing To give in exchange Is not known,
bue $500 bonus is said to be the money n-

Rogers is a sure hitter, mns bases well
and tieldi his position in fine style. He Is
equally as good n man as Cartwright, ard
In some respects will be an improvement
over the big fellow who has guarded first
base for the Senators the past two seasons.
Although Cartwright is a great favorite
here, the patrons of the game want TO see

The Law Officials Refused to Indorse

se1-The Preparations.

John Harris, alias Patsy" Will be
hanged tomorrow forenoon at the jail
for the killing OF Matthew Spruell, un-
less President Cleveland interreres and
commutes the sentence TO life imprisonment
This, IL is believed, he will not do. The
papers in the case had not been read
by him up TO late hour today, but at
the White House 1t is thought he will
decide upon them this afternoon.
Mcssrs. Frailey aud Thompson, who
were assigned % defend Harris, have made
strenuous cxertions in his behalf. A pc
tition was forwarded to the President
day before yesterday praying for com
mutation OF the sentence and requesting
the privilege of IA personal hearing for
the attorneys.
The petition was signed by eight of the
men who found the man guilty, and in their
statement they say they believe the kill
ing was the result OF anger. caused by the
nicnacing a Ct ions OF ftheniurderedman. They
state also the fact that Harris was drunk at
the time, and say 1t shouldbe given con-
sidcration.
The Jurors signing the petition are Frank
Wells. Patrick Philip. Thomas u. Watson,
l.. W. Harmon, William E. Crlst, c. A.
Krouse, j. c. jackson. and c. NJ. Beck.
The papers were forwarded 10 the At

to the President after going TO the district
attorney, who refused to irdorse in favor OF
the comnIuta ton. Judge Cole also declined
toaccrde IN tn. request for the Interference

The petition reached President Cievelan,.
yesterday afternoon. but lie did not read
them up to 12 O'Clock today. Secretary
Thurbcr assured The Times representative
that action would be taken one way OF an-
other this afternoon some time.
In view OF the unfavoFabie Endorsement
OF the district attorney, il is not believed
that the President will change the sentence.
1t would be little unusual.
1t was rumored today that petitions other
than those OF the jurors would go To the
Executive. This could not be confirmed at
the White House, however. 1t was said
that several OF the officials at the jail. in
view OF Harris model conduct. would Join
in the request for life Imprisonment.
