O'Meara Has Given Up the Team
and Fort Wayne Lovers of the
Game Offer to Continue Power

chise-The Matter Will Probably
Be Ssttied One Way or Another
To-Day.

Special to the Register
FORT WAYNE Ind, July eS-The cri-
sis in base ball affairs in this city. which
has been threatened for some time on
account of poor patronage, came to-day.
Eddie O'Meara surrendered the MANAGE
ment OF the club. and President G. 3.
Power was promptly notified Several low
ers of the game in this city have signified
willingness to take charge of the team
and finish the season. but this offer has
not assumed tangible shape. There is a
strong disposition manifested to hold the
franchise here, on account of the season
being so near the close, lovers OF tho
game are anxious 10 have an Interstate
club in Fort Wayne next year.
The patronage at the home games has
been very poor. When the team left on
its last trip. matters We're in bad shape.
and the club did not get more than the
guarantee abroad. Back salaries are due
and the management is unable to satisfy
these claims.
A meeting of the base BAH people will
be held to-day. What viii be done is un-
certain, but 1t looks like base ball IL
dead in Fort Wayne. for this season at
least.
Last evening Mr.. w. &. Howell. to
whom President Power recently handed
the Springfield franchise with a string at
tached, received a telegram from Mr..
Power, telling him If he wanted a franz
chise, to send a man to Fort Wayne and
take charge Immediately. The informa-
ton contained in the telegram was very
indefinite. Mr.. Howell thinks he has q
good claim on the Springfield franchise.
and does not care to surrender 1t for a
club which stands lower In the r;ne, urr-
less some inducement is offered. nthe
absence of full information concs
the situation of affairs in Fort wa
Mr.. Howell could not give an answer lsslD
night. President Power VIII either come
to Wheeling to-day or will communicates
with Mr.. Howell and give him more In
formation. The matter will be settled ono
way or the other tonight.
The Fort Wayne team contains a numb
Der of good players, but is lamentabls
weak in the box. The team hits well, and
compares favorably with other Interstate
clubs in fielding, The addition OF one OF
two good pitchers TO strengthen that de-
partment, would no doubt make Fort
Wayne a winning team. A good start in
the right direction might be made by
signing Mahaffey.
AT last there Is an explanation concern
ing the Springfield deal II appears that
President Power regarded the matter as
finally settled after he received Mr. How
ellis telegram of acceptance. He had
started for the train TO return to Pitts
burg when he learned that a meeting OF
base bali enthusiasts had been held ON
the sidewalk. and that q sufficient sum OF
money had been pledged TO keep tho
franchise in Springfield. He then agreed
TO allow the club to remain in that city.

SUNDAY EXCURSIONS
To and From Cleveland Yesterday
The Leroy Excursion.

Sunday excursions to and from
Wheeling are more popular this year
than at any time in the history of the
city. Every Sunday sees several hum
dred strangers here, and very often
there are equal numbers of Wheeling
people elsewhere. The number
who take in the Sunday excursions
over the B. & o. does not vary much
from week to week. Yesterday the
usual crowd came down from Pitts
burg and intermediate points, return
ing on the special at $40 O'Clock.
The Leroy's Sistersville excursion,
which left the wharf at seven O'Clock,
was fairly we'll patronized.
The Mozart Singing Society's excur-
sion to Cleveland, over the Wheeling
and Lake Erie road, took about four
hundred people out of the city, includ-
ing nearly every member of the Socl-
ETY., and a band. The Mozart members
were guests of singing societies while
in Cleveland.
The Cleveland Press excursion from
Cleveland more than offset the num-
Der of Wheeling people who went to
that city. The special train consisted
of two sections Of about seven coaches
each, over the c., l.. & w. road. The
train did not arrive until about 2:30
o'clock, and a drizzling rain was fall
ing at that hour, continuing, during the
entire afternoon. A special attraction
was prevented at Wheeling Park, but
on account of the disagreeable wealth
er less than half of the excursionists
went out to that resort. The train re-
turned last evening.

The eighth annual session of the
Epworth Park Assembly opened on
Wednesday evening and will be in ses-
sion two weeks-until August 10. The
attendance has been good and the in
dications are for big influx of people
this week. The grounds are looking
beautiful, the showers of late keeping
the grass nice and green. On Saturday
evening Heatherington' band arrived
for a ten days stay. The boys were
gladly welcomed, as they give good
music and are jolly set.
Several acres to the west of the lake
have been planted with trees and lots
will be Sold This will be a good place
for cottages. The old grounds are COW
cred as far as it /; convenient and new
locations for cottages will have to be
taken in the new addition. A sus-
pension bridge will likely be put across
the lake before another year, and this
will bring all parts of the grounds in
closer touch.
The lake has lost about foot of wa
ter during the past week. 1t is thought
one of the drain pipes is leaking. AS
the lake is full Of fish, the loss of the
water is causing some concern.
Bathing is still a favorite pastime,
but the fish are getting so large as to
bother the swimmers. There are hun
dreds Of catfish, some as large as eight
inches, and they have penchant for
singing every one they can find, and
they bring the blood in profusion every
time. In year or two it will take a
brave fellow to cope with them. The
hook and line is used for fishing and
hundreds of the finny tribe have been
captured this year.

An Appalling Death Rate.
Mr.. Hyatt's letter of the 21st OF Decem-
Der deals largely with the sickness and the
death rate on the island, which he charac-
terizes as appalling. Statistics, he says
make a grievous showing, but come lar
short of the truth. The disease, he says,
ia generally brought on by tnsumcient
food, He mentions some who are attacked
who have plenty. but these recover. while
others die or make very slow recovery.
The prevailing disease is sometimes called
paludal fever and at others la grippe. and
1t is endemic rather than contagious. At
the date Of this letter from 30 to ~ per
cent Of the people were afflicted with It,
He also reported smallpox and yellow fever
as prevailing, and said that out OF q total
of 10000 soldiers recently sent to Mama
Milo nearly 5000 were in hospitals or quar-
tered on the people. He says that Dr.
Caminero, United States sanitary inspector,
reported at that time that there were over
1900 people sick in bed. not counting those
in military hospitals. This is at least IS
per cent OF the present population Mr..
Hyatt adds that quinine, the only remedy
of avail, is sold ten times higher than in
the United States. He says that steamers
coming into port give out soup once a day
to the waiting throng, and that fresh meat
sells at from so cents to 81 per pound.
On Tie 1t Of January Mr.. Hyatt dealt
