PRESIDENT POWERS
Says Wheeling strengthened the League
and That the Outlook is Bright.


Special to the Register
Springfield, Ohio, February 26.-Pres-
ident c. B. Power in an interview says:
mot in the least dismayed by the
bumps and breakers encountered dur
ing the season Of 1898, the members of
the Interstate League are lining up for
the championship contest for 1895. At
New Castle all the clubs that made such
game fight last year were represent
Ell, and it was decided to continue with
the same old circuit A few days later
the Springfield franchise was sold TO
W. B. Howell, of Wheeling. This move
on the part of Springfield came as a
surprise to the other members of the
League, but it seems to have been a
pleasant surprise at that. 1t is thought
that Wheeling will add strength to the
League. The Interstate was the only
base ball league in the country that
passed through the troublesome season
of 1898 without a break and without
transferring game on account of a
lack of attendance. Without the local
aid of our players we would have gone
up the flue. Early in July we asked
tie players to accept cut in salaries.
and l am pleased to say that with but
two exceptions every player in the
League complied cheerfully The two
men who decided not to accept cut
were released. So you will see that we
are not only proud of our League, but

THE QUAY TRIAL
Will Probably Commence in the
Criminal Court at Philadelphia,
To-Day-A History Of the Case.

Philadelphia, Pa, February 26.-
There is every indication tonight that
United States Senator Quay and his son,
Richard r. Quay, will be placed upon
trial in the Criminal Court tomorrow,
to answer the charges of conspiracy
and the unlawful use of State moneys.
Both sides are ready and it is said anx-
ious to have the trial proceed without
further delay. Quay and his son have
been in the city for some time past
in daily consultation with their law
yers, A. S. L. Shields and Rufus E.
Shapeley. So far as known former
District Attorney Graham, who was ac-
tive in the early stages of the prosecu-
ton, will take no part in the trial,
which will be conducted for the COM
monwealth by District Attorney Roth
ermel, who was elected to that office
last November, and his assistants, Fin
letter and Clement. The trial will I'M
doubtedly be of unparalleled import
ance, not only because it presents the
unusual spectacle of United States
Senator as the chief defendant, but also
because upon its result largely hinges
his political future. 1t is regarded as
extremely unlikely that the long ex-
listing legislative deadlock at Harris
burg will be broken in the meantime,
and it is conceded that the outcome of
the trial will directly influence the
question of the Senatorial concession.
The Quays were indicted on Novem-
Der 21st last, jointly with former State
Treasurer BENZ. j. Haywood, who died
last Thursday The charges grew out
of the failure of the Peoples Bank, of
this city, in March last. The formal
allegation is that the Quays and Hay
wood, while the latter was State Treas
urer, conspired with John S. Hopkins,
cashier Of the bank. to use, and that
they did use, in violation of law, State
funds on deposit in the bank for their
own private purposes. Hopkins COM
mitted suicide when the bank failed.
The case has already gone through
many preliminary stages and number
of postponements have been granted
at the prayer Of the defense.
Judge Better, who will be upon the
bench during the trial, has, with the
assistance of counsel, been devoting
much time to arrangements for admis-
sion to the court room. In anticipa-
ton of a crush, the attendance will be
restricted TO witnesses, jurors and
newspaper representatives who will be
provided with special tickets Even
members Of the bar not connected with
the case will be excluded. To insure
order, a squad of policemen will be
on guard in the corridor outside the
court room with orders to admit only
ticket bearers.
The first day will doubtless be occu-
pied in drawing jury from the panel
of fifty men, and it is thought that the
trial will consume at least one week.
The commonwealth will call between
fifty and sixty Witnesses and the de-
Tense probably as many more.
A curious feature of the case is that
among the witnesses summoned by the
defense are former Postmaster General
John Wanamaker, ex-Judge Gordon,
Democratic National Committeeman
Guffey and State Senator David Mar
tin. who have been the leaders in The
Quay opposition.

This morning at lis o'clock George
Siler, who is the referee of the Abbott
Pierce fight at the Metropolitan Ath-
letic Club tonight arrived here from
Chicago, over the B. & o. Mr.. Siler
was met at the depot by Pres. Phillip
Maurer and other officials of the Met
ropolitan Club, and was escorted TO
the White Front restaurant where an
elaborate spread had been laid for the
DISTINGUISHED Chicagoan and others in
vited to participate.
Mr.. Siler is man IS years of age.
affable in manner and easy to induce
into conversation upon matters per-
tanning to the sporting world, to which
he has paid close attention for many
years. He is a likely person to select
for deciding such momentous event
as the Corbett-F itzsimmons go at Car
son City, when pusilistic circles in two
hemispheres had focused interest upon
it. Another ring event of national
fame, at which Mr.. Siler presided as
referee, was the Fitzsimmons-Maher
fight in Mexico in 1896.
Mr. Siler has become so accustomed
to deciding ring contests that he enters
upon the work with as little misgiv-
ings as a school boy would go to bat
in a game of town ball. But this does
not prevent him from giving expert de-
cisions as his record shows. Out of 20
matches which he refereed in Chicago
there were only draws, which indi-
Gates how closely he draws the lines
on the merits of the contestants.
From the nature of the position he
occupies in sporting circles, the veteran
sportsman is somewhat reserved
in expressing opinions as to future
events, and when asked as to the prob
able outcome of a contest between F'itz-
simmons and Jeffries he was not pro-
nounced in his utterance. He thinks,
however, that the men will meet 4
match between Corbett and Sharkey, he
says, is hardly within the range OF
probability.
A fact which is doubtless new to
many people who have not looked into
Z Mr.. Siler's record is. that back in
TIE 70s he was in the
ring himself and toured the country as
lightweight. He then tipped the
beam at 120, but any one who looks at
him now can hardly realize it.
Mr.. Siler has refereed one bout in
which Stanton Abbott was principal,
but he has never seen Pearce put up
his hands.
While here the refTee will stop at
the Mcclure and will leave Tuesday
morning for Chicago.
Mr.. Siler is a newspaper man, but
contrary to a popular impression he is
not connected with any paper, but is
a "freelance" among writer's of sport
ing news in Chicago. His principal
work during the summer is writing the
races, and in winter pugilism occupies
his attention.

The management of the Metropoli-
tan Athletic Club has taken every pre-
caution to have the Abbott-Pierce
fight tonight come off without any
hitch or tedious delays and those who
attend may rest assured the event will
be over in time to permit them to re-
turn on the II o'clock motor. The
preliminary will be called at $50
o'clock and the main event will begin
promptly at 8. There is a big advance
sale of tickets and the attendance is
certain to be large The management
Of the street car line has arranged for
an ample service and no inconvenience
will be experienced in getting to and

LOCAL BASE BALL NOTES.

Yesterday quite number of fans
from Martins Ferry called on the man
ager Oh the Wheeling team and en-
couraged him in the move for Sunday
ball. A delegation of enthusiasts from
the South Side also dropped in and
pledged their support for Sunday
games. The general indications are
that base ball is going to take excep-
tionally well here this season, and
Mr.. Howell feels much encouraged by
the outlook.
Mr.. Howell is receiving many in.
quiries these days from ball players
all over the country asking for posi-
lions. Some of these are humorous
without intending to be, and particu-
larry was one of those received yester-
day. 1t was from a man at Green's
burg, Ind, and the writer, who is evil
IDENTIFY an enthusiast states that he is
mo Rube" and has "been down the
pike before" He thinks the Wheeling
team with him in it would be a sure
winner.
Among the young players whom Mr..
Howell intends giving a chance to
demonstrate their merits is Thos. Pas
torius, of Morgantown. Pastorius, it
is claimed has done good amateur work
and is now DESTROYS to show his skill
on the diamond He comes well
recommended in the position of short

The season books for the Interstate
League games are now in the hands
OF Mr.. Howell and can be procured
from him for SIS. This price is con-
sidered very reasonable as Mansfield
and other towns are selling season
books for $50. There is reason to be-
lieve that the books will take we'll

fans will avail themselves of the OBJ

George Mcpherson Given Three Months
for Vagrancy.
George Mcpherson, who is we'll
known by the police authorities as a
professional secretary was greatly
surprised yesterday in the police court
when he was arraigned Mcpherson is
considered, very tough character.
About 10 days ago he was arrested,
charged with lettering about the houses
of prostitution in the bad lands, and
for this he was fined $40. AS he was
unable to pay, he was committed to the
city jail, where he served out his fine,
and when his time was up, Judge Ken
nedy notified him that it would be well
for him to leave town.
Mcpherson promised that he would
leave, but he did not keep his word, for
yesterday morning he was arrested by
Night Chief of Police O'Brien in a
house of prostitution.
He was arraigned yesterday morning
in the police court and subsequently
sentenced to three months in the coun-
ty Jail. This heavy sentence nearly
knocked Mcpherson off his feet. He
claimed that the officers had it in for
him and that they wouldn't leave him
alone
