SPORTING NOTES

The horse show to be held at the Col
liseum, Chicago, ILL.,, November to 1S,
will be under the management of Mr..
John A. Logan, than whom no gentle
man of wider experience and ADLER ex-
ecutive ability could have been chosen.
Mr. Logan, moreover, is well known in
horse show circles, his entries having
carried off prizes in the tan bark arena
frequently in the past. The exhibition
will be under the auspices Of the Illinois
board Of agriculture, and valuable prizes
will be offered.
McGraw is noted as one Of thelfinest
artists in the business of working the
pitcher for four balls. OF course, he has
a fine eye for discerning which are balls
and which are "over," and, in order to
Gull out those disastrous to his plan, he
deliberately fouls them. Whenever he
picks out ball he thinks will be strike
he brings his bat to meet it at an acute
angle to the catcher, and in consequence
the ball is fouled off to the left It is a
great trick, and 1t takes players Of
"Mugsey's'' nerve and skill to work 1t
successfully.
Harry Wright, Jr., son of the man
whose fame is contemporaneouS with the
history of baseball, intends to follow in
the footsteps of his father. He will be-
gin at the bottom Of the ladder, and
seeks to secure position in some minor
league club as pitcher or an infelder.
An unknown party caught a seven
pound trout last spring in the Truckee,
and on opening his prize he found a
whole chipmunk. Moral: Every angler
should carry chipmunk or two in his
pocket for bait.
The National Horse Show association
has appointed the following gentlemen to
act as judges of the hackney classes, at
the show to be held November Is to 20
in New York City: Alexander Morten,
Darvel, Gowanbank, Ayrshire, Scot
land; James Wood, Mt. Kisco, N. Y, and
Alexander B. McLaren. Alexis, ILL., The
appointments were made at the sugges-
ton of the Hackney society, and, the Sc
lections are most happy, as all the
Judges are men Of experience as judges
and have an intimate theoretical and
practical acquaintance with the hack
ney breed.

THE ROPED ARENA

Baker Of San Francisco wants another
try at James Jeffries, and the Los An
geles Athletic club is seriously consider
ing the advisability of bringing the two
men together in this city. Billy De-
laney, who has charge of Jeffries, seems
to be willing that the men should meet,
and it is more than probable that the af-
fair will take place about the end OF this
month at the gymnasium of the club.
One thing is sure about the contest, and
that is, with John Brink in the ring as
referee there will be no such exhibition
as recently occurred at Hazards pavil-
ion. Friendly contests are all right, but
rank imposltions upon trustful public
are not to be tolerated. Mr.. Brink has
happy faculty Of making men work
when they are boxing under his direc-
tion.
Jack Dempsey, Jim Corbett, Peter
Maher and Bob Fitzsimmons have before
this undertaken to ''stop" several antag-
onists in one night, but usually of the
kind known as dead easy marks" 1t
remained for Kid Mcfarland to fight
two men in one night to get purse and
though one Of them proved dead easy"
it was thought before the bout that he
was stiff enough to give the Kid "a
tough argument" The fights took place
in Buffalo fortnight ago in the arena OF
the Olympic Athletic club. Tommy
McCune was McPartland's first antag-
onist He done noble" as the vaude-
villists say. for about minute, and then
Mcfarland go onto his curves and land
ed several rights and lefts on his neck
with jarring force. Then a soaker on
the neck made Tommy pitch forward,
and as he came to him Mack let him
have left in the stomach that sent him
down in a heap. He rolled over on his
back, moaning in pain. He was carried

DREW HIMSELF IN A RATTLE
Odd Luck That Caused Reckless Man
to Become a Providence Citizen

TO become a providence Clt1zen
II encountered the strangest man I
ever knew while was doing some gov
ernment work in Missouri" said the re-
tired contractor. He was smart
enough so jolly that everybody liked
him and apparently in the best of health.
But he made few bad deals-had to
mortgage some of his property, and
seemed to throw up his hands. He vowed
that he had ceased to be his own man,
and would drift along until he found out
what the world wanted to do with him.
HE never tried to dispose Of any Of his
possessions by auction or private sale,
but nearly every day held a rattle, at
which the chief attraction were his jokes
and odd sayings. All this time he was
not trying to earn dollar, and in year
or so 1t was thought that he had come to
the end Of his string.
when he disposed of the family clock,
and there seemed to be nothing left, he
coolly announced that he would rattle
himself. He didn't know whether the
boys would care to buy chances. but he
meant business, and would work faith
fully for the man who drew him. Tick
cts sold for good figures. but there were
two left, and he laughingly said he would
take q couple Of shots at himself. When
the drawing came off he held the lucky
number.
"Well sir, the fellow turned loose and
went to making money hand over hand.
He became one Of the greatest rustlers
in the west, paid off the mortgages,
bought everything there was money in,
and is as rich now as river bottom
farm. When he drew himself at the
rattle he made up his mind that he was
his own man again, and besides he had
agreed to do his best for the winner. It
was q strange case. Detroit Free Press.

prosperity in the publication of a
table of estimates furnished by vari-

THE strike in the Hazleton region
mas assumed such proportions that an
loutbreak is likely to occur at any
time. Under these circumstances, in
order to avoid loss of life and prop
erty, it is advisable that the opera
tors and their employees adjust their
differences by means of arbitration.
This is the only means by which the
difficulty can be settled, satisfactory
to both sides. This is the wisest
course for all concerned. If the men
have justice upon their side, and
there is no reason to believe that they

Iabouohere on the Recent Drown
iug'' OF Lieutenant Won Hnhnke.
london. sept. s.-Mr. Henry Labou-
chere. In Truth. renews the mysterious
hints which have been in circulation
since the death Of Lieutenant Won
Hahnke. of the German navy, son OF
General Won Hahnlse. chief Of Emperor
Wuuam's military cabinet who met
his death bydrownng in July last while
ACCOMMODATING his majesty on his trip
TO the North.and on board the imperial
Yacht Hohenzollern. In doing so Mr.
I,1bouchere once more publishes the in
timatlon that the lieutenants death
was q SEQUEL to the black eye which
the emreror received about that time.
According to one story the black eye
YVES caused by a blow from a rope
which was being whirled about by the
wind. Another story has 1t that the
anpcror so roarsoly abused Lieutenant
Won Echnl,e that the latter committed
suicide. Finally stiil another version
1r the affair is that the lieutenant
stung by the emperor's sharp words
resented them to the extent Of backing
his maiesty's eye and then took his
own life.
The official version Of the affair, in
brief. seems to be that Lieutenant Won
Hahnke, who was accompanied by a
brother officer, accidentally ran into
the River Grondalselyv on his bicycle
while trying to avoid a collision with a
shying pony The river, it is further ex-
planned, is a raging torrent, from which
escape is impossible.
Mr. Labouchere says: "On the day
following Won Hahnke's death adummy
figure Of the same size and weight was
tossed into the torrent in order to test
it's effect. The dummy was torn to
pieces, and everybody agreed that Won
| Hahnke's body must have met sim
/ liar fate. Yet, since the appearance OF
! Truths remarks, it is announced from
Berlin that the body has been recov-
cred after being six weeks In the raging
torrent"

DEB's declaration that the courts
have "annihilated the constitution,
abrogated the right of trial by jury,
forbidden free speech, suppressed
peaceable assemblages, and trans
formed our republic into an absolute
despotism, is beautifully falsifed by
the fact that Debs has been address

resentative or agency of the law has
made any attempt to stop his raw
ings, or has taken any notice of him

NITRO-GLYcERINE EXPLOSION.
Six Known and Several Unknown Dead
og tba Rasn1t

Six Known and Several Unknown Dead
as the Result.
Cygnet, o., Sept. 8.-A terrible eX-
plosion of nitro -glycerine occurred here
yesterday afternoon, which resulted in
the death Of six people whose names
are known, and several others, at pre-
sent unknown. The known dead are
Sam Barber, Allen Falls, John Thomp-
son, Charles Bartel Henry Lansdale
and George Havens, a boy.
The explosion occurred at Grant well,
located at the rear of the National Sup
ply companys office building, in the
village limits. This well had just been
shot by Samuel Barber the shooter for
the Ohio and Indiana Torpedo COM
pany. When the 12O quarts Of glyce-
rine let down in the well exploded the
gas ignited, and with a terrific roar the
flames shot high above the derrick, AS
soon as the drilers saw the flames sew
eral climbed into the derrick to shut
off the gas, but they had barely got
ten there when there was a terrific ex-
plosion. The burning gas had started
the remaining glyCerine in the empty
cans standing in a wagon near the der
rick. In another wagon near by were
some cans containing another120 quarts
of the stuff, and this was exploded by
the force of the first explosions.
The second was blended with the
first in a mighty roar, and the town
and surrounding country for miles
trembled from the shock. The National
Supply company's building was COM
pletely demolished, and nothing re-
mains but a big hole where the wagons
stood. There is not a whole pane of
glass in any window in the town, and
every house was shaken to its founda-
tions. Who the other men that were in
the derrick, and who were killed, can
not be learned now, owing to the ex-
element Eight buildings are a total
wreck and many others damaged.
Many bystanders were wounded.
