GRADY GOES TO NEW YORK.
RumOrcd Deal Between Wagner and
Reach Denied.

hu"Oreu Deal betWeen wagner and
Reach Denied.
The deal between Philadelphia and st.
Louis for an exchange of players was con-
summated this afternoon and is confirmed
by the club owners. Catcher Grady will
probably be transferred from ST. Louis to
New York.
The original proposition from the Phila-
delphia club was to give st. Louis Pitcher
Taylor. Catcher Clements, Fielder Dowd
and Lave Cross. This proffer. it was
said. was not satisfactory to St. Louis.
and, although tie deal may be closed on
that basis, there may yet be substitution
of some other man for or the other
Of the four PEilaoelphians.
Regarding the proposition made by
Washington to the Philadelphia club to
bunch the fifty or more players under
contract to the two clubs the Philadelphia
club then to have its pick of twenty and
the Washington to have the remainder.
and then receive $4,000 from the Philadel-
Lbia, the owners of the latter club, en-
phaticaily declare the matter mas never
been seriously considered by them.
They say that by this scheme they would
practically be paying $4,000 for four or
five of the Washington players and at the
same time give to Washington several star
want to retain next season, but who can
be used iii advantageous trade with other
clubs The deal, they say, will receive no
further consideration from them.
Among the arrivals this morning was Mr..
Harry Won Der Horst of Baltimore. This
completes the list of official delegates to
the league meeting.

NEITHER MAY ACCEPT,
Local CIcrGymen Spoken of for
BishoP of Central PennxyixanIn.

There was not much surprise expressed
in local Episcopal circles when a press
dispatch announced that Rev Dr. Mackay-
Smith, the rector of st. Johns Church and
Rev. DR.. Mcklm, rector of Epiphany
Church, were mentioned in connection with
the Office of bishop of central PennsyI-
vania.
The contention is now in session at
Bethlehem Pa, and it was stated in the
press dispatch that these two names among
Others would be voted for by the conven-
tiCn.
AS is customary in such cases no authori-
tative suggestion has been made to the
ciergymen mentioned of the proposed hon
or, still it has been expected. I'm well-in-
formed circles, that either or both might be
named in connection with the Office.
Both are well known in church circles
and as is usual when a bisnop is to be
chosen, the names of some who are promi-
rent in the church are, as a rule brough.
to the attention of the convention.
Generally speaking, IL is not until the
vote of the convention is announced that
the person honored by election 10 such a
position determines whether he will accept
or not, and it frequently happens that an
ether election mas to be held, owing to
the defamation of the nominee of the con-
vention to accept the position. While moth
ing is yet known of the intentions of either
Dr. Mackay-Smith or DR.. Mckim, in the
event of the choice of the convention fall
ing upon either, it is believed that il is
probable that neither would accept.

From the indianapolis News.
George NJ. Pullman, jr., and his brother
Sanger are determined to win their spurs,
and show to tine world that there is good
stuff in them. Their fathers will cut them
off with an allowance of about 5000
year each, but it was given out that if they
showed TO the satisfaction of the other
members of the family that they had busi-
ness ability, and were willing to attend TO
business, drop their bad habits and make
the kind of men their father wished them
to be, that they would come in for a share
of the large estate.
This will has changed the lives of the
young men. They had long conference
with Robert T. Lincoln, who plainly told
them what was expected Of them. The re-
suit is that the young men have gone to
work for the Pullman company in positions
but little removed from that of laborers.
They are doing yard work at present, and
the pay is small, George receiving about
$40 month and Sanger $40 a month.
They have to take things as they come,
do not have precedence over any other en-
ploye, must obey the rules we'll as the
others, and will receive promotions in their
turn. They told Mr.. Lincoln that they pro-
posed to begin at the bottom of the ladder
and work up, the same as any other en-
ploye of the company.
