indianapolis Likely to Lose GOar.
Phillips, Mcfarland and Mccarthy.

Special 70 the indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, Sept. Am official of the
Cincinnati club is authority for the state
ment that a radical change will be made
in the Reds at the conclusion of the present
season Pitchers Phillips and Goar and
Outfielders Mcfarland and Mccarthy will
be taken from the Indianapolis club and
made into Reds. This means the displaee-
ment of Ehret and Dammann as Cincinnati
pitchers and Miller and Burke as outfield-
efs. Miller ana DainInann VIII probably be
turned adrift.
Ii viii be great disappointment to Pres
ident Hart and Manager Arson if they fail
to get Mccarthy, as they have offered at
least $1,000 for him. Not long ago the Chi
cago club offered Conner and bonus OF
$500 for Mccarthy but the offer was refused
by the INDIANAPOLIS management.

Fires Last Night.

The fire department was called out last
night by blaze of light that appeared to
be in the south part of the city, Part of
the apparatus proceeded as far as the Belt
Railway without locating the fire. Later
it was learned that the light came from
burning barn in the country several miles
south. The department did not learn the
name of the owner.
About O'Clock last night an incipient
blaze in the roof above the stereotype room
Of the Journal brought out the department.
The fire was extinguished without the aid
of the firemen.

Maggie Mercer Is Home.

Maggie Mercer is home. She to-
gether with her father and Sheriff
Wright, reached ogden yesterday
morning. Opinions were freely eX-
pressed that the decree of the court
will now be modified so as to prevent
Mrs. Mercer from having the child in
custody at all.
Sheriff Wright was very busy yes
terday and did not talk much about the
way the woman was traced and the
child finally recovered. It is known
that some trouble was encountered, but
Hebe evidently proved equal TO all
emergencies and got the girl. The
Examiner reDort-republished yester-
day by The Herald-was said by the
sheriff to be substantially correct.
When asked hoy they got the girl,
Wright laconically answered: Wa
took her.
The sheriff left Ogden on November
and learned that the woman, after
going as far east as St. Paul, turned
west. He then went TO the coast and
finally located the woman at Van
couver. He went there and after con-
ferences with the woman, failed to get
the child, so telegraDhed to Mercer at
Ogden, the girls father, to come. The
woman then went to Victoria, but the
sheriff was on the next boat and again
discovered ner, Mercer having arrived.
They were thrown off. however. by
man named Eldredge, formerly of Brig
ham CITY, but he was finally induced
to tell for $3.50 where the woman was.
On December 20 Mercer and Wright
found Mrs. Mercer and they succeeded
in getting the child. They reached the
boat, but the mother was soon at hand
with three policemen. Wright detained
them until the boat pulled out, when
the policemen jumped ashore. Mrs.
Mercer has not been heard of since
