Withdraws IN Favor of Indianapolis
for L.. A. w. Meet.

A dispatch was received last night from
Boston saying that the Hub had with
drawn in her contest for the l.. A. w. ma
tional meet for $685. and would lend her
influence to Indianapolis. The action was
taken at a meeting of prominent league
men of Massachusetts, held last evening"
which was attended by leading men of the
State in league politics. The resolution
says that in consideration of the fact that
Indianapolis has been so long in the field
for the 1888 meet, and having gone to con-
siderable expense and shown a disposition
to take the meet and entertain it hand
someiy, and that the interests of the league
at large would probably be best conserved
to secure the meettths year and extend
her hearty support TO Indianapolis. and do
all in her power to make the 1893 meet sue
cessful. The resolution ends by announcing
the Denomination to go after the 1899 meet.

Governor Mount responded TO the first
toast which was THE Puritan Home"
After being introduced as a Puritan in
character, if not by ancestry, the Governor
said:
Il have profound veneration for the char
acter and influence of the New England
homes as they existed in the days of the
forefathers. This influence had a most salu-
tary power in shaping the destiny OF the
Nation. The home is the realm over which
the mother rules as queen. While her in
fiuence is often silent as the distilling
dew of the valley, ii is, however, as ire
sistibe as the mountain torrent The home
is divine institution. 1t antedates all other
organizations. 1t meas ures society molds
character and determines the veal or woe
of u people. A consuming desire for free
dom OF speech. liberty OF conscience and
action, prompted brave men and women to
leave Haunts where their sunny youths
were passed. They faced the perils of the

FOUND GUILTY.-Joseph Clarke was
to-day found guilty OF attempted Grim
inal assault upon thirteen-year-old Ada
Jinckins, and the jury fixed the term
of Imprisonment at nine years in the
penitentiary. Mr.. S. G.. Brent appear
ed for the accused and Mr.. Leonard
Marbury conducted the prosecution.
1t was stated yesterday that the COM
plainant had gone before Mr.. X. KEN
per, notary public, and made an afli-
davit to the effect that her evidence
before the grand jury was false. This
was believed to have been caused by
coercion on the part of those interest
ed in the accused, and this mornings
developments proved the theory 10 be
correct. When the case was called the
little girl was put upon the stand and
she reiterated the revolving story she
told the officers at the station house,
the Mayor and the grand jury, and iD
childish simplicity recited how the
mother of her assailant and "the 9TH
ers." as she termed them, coerced her
into going to Mr.. w. 2. Graves and Mr..
Kemper and making different state
ments. The child is an orphan,
and before going upon the stand said
she had promised her dead mother 10
always speak the truth and she had
made up her mind to do so on this oc-
casion. The child related all the de-
tails of Clarke's crime, and she told
how he came to Mr.. Beach's house
twice after her. (This part of her story
Was fully corroborated by Mr.. William
Zimmerman and other members OF Mr..
Bsach's family, and the story set afoat
yesterday that Mrs. Beach had prompt
cd the child to trump up the charge
against Clarke was amply disproven.(
The prisoner was asked if he desired
10 take the stand after the evidence
was in, but he declined. When the
jury brought in the verdict, before sen
tence was pronounced, ne was asked if
he had anything to say, and he answer
ed by saying he was not guilty. Judge
Norton then sentenced him to nine
years confinement in the penitentiary.
A motion for a new trial was over
ruled, but stay of judgment for thirty
days was allowed in order that counsel
could prepare an appeal ifsuch course
is to be adopted.

DANGEROUSLY CUT.-Ellis Day,
colored, aged about twenty-three years,
was seriously stabbed last night in
Morris Leven's saloon on north St.
Asaph street. Tim Henderson, also
colored, who did the stabbing, is
about thirty-6ve years of age, and has
often figured in the Police Court. Day,
with several companions, was in the
barron. Henderson had been in t. rear
room which is frequented by women,
and as he entered the bar he overheard
a remark made by Day in regard to
those who were admitted to the private
apartment. Henderson produced an
ugly knife and made for Day, with the
remark, 81 have heard enough of you
d. negroes trying to run this house. .
The blade entered Days shoulder and
he fell to the floor, when Henderson
made another lunge at him with the
knife. but missed his mark. 1t was at
first supposed that his wound was
superficial, but DIR. Purvis, who render
ed the necessary surgical assistance,
soon discovered that an artery had
been severed, aud that serious results
might follow. This morning Hender-
son was committed to Jail to await the
result of Days wounds. About twelve
O'Clock last some one threw brick into
one of the windows of Levin's saloon,
carrying away part OF the blind and
sash. "Lunch" Johnson, the negro
who attempted to shoot Officer Lyles a
few weeks ago, mad started row in tn
saloon which precipitated the shooting

siderably improved.

OPERA HoUsE.-The benefit to Prof
Harry Kramer, the champion trick
bicycle rider, at the Opera House to
night, promises to be the best enter
talnment of the kind seen here fol-
some time, each performer being frs
class in every particular. Prof. Kramer
who has gained reputation far beyond
the average in his line, does some very
neat tricks on the wheel, and Hall
Brothers, "knock-about" comedians, are
two very clever people, and altogether
the performance is sure to be pleasing
At 1890 o'clock to-day Mr.. Kramer
gave an exhibition in front of the Opera
House. He rode on his wheel down a
ladder placed against a telegraph pole
and also dumped" rope on his wheel.
That enhancing comedy drama,
1.-The Burglar" adapted from Mrs. Bur-
nett's popular sketch by Gus Thomas,
will be the attraction at the Opera
House Saturday night. "The Burg lar"
is piece unique and original in its
construction, appealing with equal
force to young and old. It's incidents
are powerful and interesting, and give
unsurpassed opportunity for good
dramatic action.
Rev DR.. Stafford will lecture in this
city on Friday night under the auspices
of the Y. NJ. S. L. The Georgetown
College Journal says: "He has elo.
quence and elocution cultivated to the
highest degree and voice of marvellous
power, sweetness and hexibility-pcetic
style, graceful manner, appearance-all
that makes the orator. He has won
derfully well-studied oratorical finish
and is an ideal elocutionist."
