How the Clubs stand.

IT was too bad that Archie Stlmmell
did not receive better support than he did
yesterday, for had the Allentown club
stuck by him one of the most exciting
games of the season would have resulted,
for Richmonds pitcher. Frank Sparks,
gave "Stim" the best battle he ever had
in ali his life But for bad support the
score would have been two to one in
Richmond's favor. intead Of four TO one,
as went down in history.
hrchic pitched an excellent game, and it
must have made him feel very proud TO
see that all Of his old friends were with
him, and that they rooted for him right
merriy. There was a '9S Saturday crowd.
of about 1900 people, and they had lots
OF fun seeing Richmond win its seventh
straight game. and one of the best of the
week. The pitchers had lots of hard work
20 do, but they did It with credit TO them
selves. sparks's support was head-over-
heels better than the work of the men
supporting Stimmell. There were pretty
plays by the score plays that made the
crowd happy and caused Manager Wells
10 wear a look OF pride.
MADE IN THE FIRST.
Richmond made her four runs in the
first inning. "Sum's' work allowed but
three hits-one in the third, one in the
nth. one In the ninth. and in the last
eight innings only two Richmonders
reached second base.
Frank Sparks's usual pitching made the
crowd feel safe early. lie kept the hit
ters down and scattered their hits though
& was hitting that made their run. Nc
Intyre got a ball to right field that yield
ed three bases. and he scored on a dinly
single by Henry. Besides the man that
scored. Frank only let one man more get
as far as second. and did not let u single
one stay or even come near third.

FIRM KANSAS PACIFIC STAND.
mckinley Declines to Modify the
Purpose Announced In His
Message to Congress-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Mr. Schiff
and Mr.. Pierce, of the Union Pacific
reorganization committee, had a con-
ference today at the White house with
the president and Attorney General
Griggs. The conference lasted more
than an hour. and was devoted almost
entirely TO a discussion of matters re-
lating tc the Kansas Pacific railroad.
1t is understood the reorganization
has qualified as a bidder for the road
at the sale which takes place Feb IS,
and at the conference today it is said
an effort was made to secure a mOdi-
tcation of the purpose of the govern
ment to bid at the sale at least UP to
the full amount Of the principal of the
roads Indebtedness TO the government,
which amounts to about 5000, 000
This purpose was announced by the
president in his last message to con-
gress, and it is stated that the prssi-
dent will strictly adhere to his deter
mination, and so informed the repre-
sentatives OF the reorganization COM
mittee. No understanding or agree
ment was arrived at which changes
in any respect the relations Of the gov
eminent to the road or to the reorgan-
iZation committee.
AS the matter now stands, the sale
will be proceeded with at the time
specified by the court.

CRADLE ENERGETIC.
Every Effort to Interest Chicago
Men in q Mining DeaI

CHICAGO, Feb 3.-No more ener-
getic campaign was ever worked to en-
list capital in a mining venture than
IN the one which Francis c.. Cradle
has been engineering at the Great
Northern hotel for the last six weeks
Inc revelations Of his financial tran
sactions with the Chemical National
t6ahk OF New York, put sudden stop
to the crusade which had been so
vigorously waged to enlist Chicago
people in his latest enterprise, the
Consolidated Gold Fields of the Black
Hills"
The forced resignation of Cashier
Qu1nlan from the Chemical National,
When the bank directors learned of the
loans and the strong words which
PRESIDENT Williams used in speaking
or Cradle and his projects, brought
deep gloom upon the luxurious head
Quarters of the Cradle company.
There is similarity in the opera
lions of the new company and the
original Union Hill company, which
was foated in Philadelphia and the
East, ex-Gov. Pattison, of Pennsyl-
NanIa, and Gen. 3. F. Tracy, of New
York, having large interests The is
sue or stock was the same the amount
Kept In the treasury was the same and
the money to be used in the develop
ment OF the property was to be raised
in the same way.
A corner suite Of rooms was secured
at the Great Northern and a force of
eight men was quartered at the hotel
10 Boom the new enterprise. Cradles
expenses ran ever $500 a week for
board alone. The additional expenses
in entertaining prospective investors
ran to still higher figure.

CRADLES VARIED SCHEMES.
Money Tied Up in Half Dozen
Z South Dakota Enterprises.


South Dakota Enterprises.
Y CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The Tribune
l'says: During the last ten years. in
(which Francis Cradle, the man to
whom Cashier Quinian. OF the Chemi-
cal National bank, Of New York, loan
ed in the neiShbOrhoOd OF $250,000 of
the banks funds, has been engaged in
floating the stocks, bonds and mort
ga ges of his Western enterprises
among investors in the East, not less
H than So. 100000 has been realized.
For many years, Mr.. Cradle has en-
jOyed friendly relations with some of
the Western officials of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad. So close
a were these relations that he was let
/ in on the ground floor for town sites,
when the company extended it's lines
L to the Black Hills. He went ahead of
the builders and secured the land
where the company was to locate its
stations, from one end Of the extension
. to the other.
Where the line Joined the extension
to Deadwood and the extension to Bill
irgs. Mont, was selected for the site
for the end of the divisions, and here
it was deemed certain that a good
sized town would go up. Here the
: town Of Edgemont was laid out. Mr.
Cradle secured a title to the lands
around the junction points the same as
. he he'd at the stations along the line.
There was stone in the vicinity Of
Edgemont, and he conceived the idea
that that town should be the great
manufacturing point of the country
for grindstones. He forthwith organ
with a capital Of $250.0G0 and spent a
large sum in building the plant for
the making of grindStoneS.
The town needed buildings. He or
gained a building syndicate, got a
large amount Of Eastern capital into
it. and began putting up buildings
right and left along the business
streets of the little place.
With enough business for ten men to
look after properly. Mr.. Cradle did not
vet have enough to do, for he started
the construction Of a smelter at Edge
mont. which he believed was to be the
beginning of one Of the greatest smelt-
ing plants IN the West. The smelter
is not yet completed. but it represents
an outlay of at least 100000.
Peculiar Operations.
In 1896 Mr.. Cradle brought into ex-
istence the Union Hill Mining compa-
ny. The financial operations leading
to the formation Of the company were
somewhat peculiar. 1t has a capital
stock of $4,000, 600. and of this Mr..
Cradle received $1.S00.0 600 in payment
for fifty claims which he decided over
to the company. The remaining $780,
600 worth of stock was held in the
treasury. and was to be sold, and the
proceeds devoted to the opening of the
mines.
Mr.. Cradle went out to sell his stock.
He gave away fair percentage of it
to get people interested in the compa-
ny. and sold about 100000 at prices
ranging from so cents on the dollar
down.
After he had got thus far along. he
brought into being another company,
3 which he called the Edgemont e.
