NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-The CONSOLE

base ball clubs was effected to-day. w.
C. Byrne presented an Indemnity bond
as directed by the New Jersey court in
order to protect the purchasers of the
sixty-one shares belonging to his broth

Speaking Of the southern trips OF the
Brooklyn and Baltimore teams. Mana.
ger Ned Hanlon said that they would
leave for the south about the Goth Of
March. The Brooklyn players will go
to Augusta, Ca. and the Orioles will
get into shape at Macon. Ga.
The schedule meeting OF the National
League will begin Tomorrow at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. The changes in
the rules as recommended by the rules
committee will be productive of much
argument and the question as to wheth-
err Chris Won der Abe or B. S. Muckin-
fuss will be recognized as the represen-
tatire OF the St. Louis club will be the
first matter TO be settled. That Frank
DeHaas Robinson. OF the Cleveland
club. will secure the St. Louis franchise
seems to be generally conceded.
None Of the magnates will go on rec
ord as to whether the circuits will be
reduced to less than twelve clubs for
the coming year. but the probabilities
are that even II twelve club schedule
is adopted circuit OF a less number
OF clubs may be found necessary be-
fore the playing season opens.

"THE LITTLE MINISTER, !"

The announcement OF the famous play
OF "The Little Minister" and dramati-
cation of the famous novel by ]. NJ.
Barrie should be received with a great
deal of enthusiasm 1t will be seen
here at the Opera House, next Friday
evening. Certainlyino play comes more
highly spoken OF or one that has met
with greater amount of success than
has THE Little Minister" The phe-
nomenal engagement they played In
New York. where 1t was seen for 800
performances. and by audiences that
packed the theatre at every perform
ance. is something that We are familiar
with. II Is n peculiar play. and for
that reason Mr.. Charles Frohman has
had TO use great care in selecting the
east that could properly portray the
piece. That the play will meet with
the success here that 1t has everywhere
since It left New York Is an assured
fact |-r.- ~

THE REWARD $500.
For the Capture OF the men who
Assaulted the Pappas.
THE HORSES THEY RODE AWAY
On Recovered by Deputy Sheriff Lyle
Near the Month OF Short Creek Yes
) tcrday Afternoon-Thc Same Pco-
pic are Supposed to have Robbed the
Moores Over in Belmont County.
They We're seen at Short Creek.

The three unknown men who SO bru-
tally assaulted and then robbed The
brothers Papa, at their home
on Short Creek. about four miles from
its mouth. as detailed yesterday morn
inG, are still at large, and as minute
descriptions Of the trio cannot be had.
their pursuit, and arrest are difficult in
the extreme.
Deputy Sheriff Lyle went out on
Short Creek yesterday and made a
/ thorough investigation OF the affair.
Last evening at Z o'clock he telephoned
10 Sheriff Richards from Clinton, stat
Ing that he had ascertaincd the amount
of money taken by the robbers to be
$500. Fritz Papa, he said was not Sc
riously injured. but his brother, Henry.
was IN bad shape from the rough and
brutal treatment which he underwent
at the hands of the robbers. After
some. trouble In getting a start. Deputy
Lyle struck the trail OF the robbers and
traced then TO the mouth OF Short
Creek, nbove the city. Here he found
the three horses owned by the Pappas
on which they had ridden from the
scene OF the dastardly crime. AT Short
Creek. too. he learned that three men,
two OF medium height and another tall
er, had been seen lettering about Short
creek on Sunday afternoon. before the
crime was committed. 1t Is supposed
they went out TO the Pappas' place
carly in the evening. committed the
assault and robbery and then rode down
10 the mouth Of Short creek. 1t is sup
posed that they took train. walked
up or down along the Pan Handle or
Cleveland & Pittsburgh tracks. or
boarded steamboat, al Short creek. So
far the authorities have no clue to the
: wherea bouts of the robbers after they
left the horses near the mouth OF Short
creek. Deputy Lyle returned TO the
Papa place from Clinton last evening
and will continue his Investigations
there.
Sheriff Richards is OF the opinion that
the men who figured in the Moore hold
! up on Glcnn's run, over in Bemlont
county. on Friday night. are the same
trio who figured in the Papa outrage.
Gienn's run is directly opposit, the
mouth of Short creek. The description
OF the men who robbed the Moores fits
+ that of those in the other robbery.
The people in the neighborhood of the
Papa place are thoroughly aroused
over the matter, and they would give
the trio dose OF exceedingly swift
Justice If they were caught. So far
the arrest of the robbers Is worth $500
10 the person fortunate enough to cap
ture them. The board of county COM
nissioners yesterday offered reward
OF $500, and the Pappas state they will
add 5000 10 the reward.
II is thought likely that the crime was
committed by strangers who We're post
cd as to the locality by friends living
near the Pappas. AS TO the present
whereabouts Of the trio, 1t Is not un-
likely that they are here in Wheeling or
In one OF the neighborng towns. The
authorities are making every effort to
locate and capture them.

Patrons of the Grand We're given a
genuine treat last night, in the w. H.
Powers Company's production OF the ra-
mantle Irish drama. The Ivy Leaf"
While there are some points OF similari-
ty between the play and others OF its
class. there Is more than the usual
amount OF the genuine Celtic wit, some
bits OF charming sentimentality, and
many decidedly original and pleasing
features. The play is admirably cast.
and well staged. The company includes
a number of excellent vocalists, dancers
and speciality artists. Their work gave
spice to the performance. and sent
every person in the audience home in
humor to give the production such n
viva voce advertisement as will insure
crowded houses for the remainder OF
the half weeks engagement.

E. Won Biedenfeld was placed
on trial to-day, charged with
the murder, OF Constable Charles
Mcdonald, in a saloon on No
vember .. The trial opened before Il
large crowd of spectators including u
number OF people prominent in Chicago
society. There was no preliminary or
ato-E. The lmpaneiinG of jury began
at once. The defense. 1t is said, will
make no attempt TO deny the shooting,
but will confnc itself to establishing the
former good reputation of the baron. II
will be brought out that Mcdonald re-
peatedly threatened Bledenfeld and
that the latter was in constant danger
Of his life Along these lines II will be
argued that the killing OF Mcdonald
was justitiable homicide

Attorney ]. G. White. one OF the
members OF the trial committee which
prosecuted Judge Dellenbaugh, said to-
day:
1T Is not only indicate in Judge
Dellenbaush TO sit on the bench when
the circuit court has held that ne should
be dlsbarred. but he may find that some
action may be begun against him TO re-
strain him from acting as judge until q
decision in his case is reached By the
supreme court"
a motion for new trial and for nit
igation of sentence was fled on behalf
OF Senator Vernon Fl. Burke By his

Information. OF bold robbery which
occurred a; the home % Mr.. and Mrs.
James II. Moore. who reside on Scotch
Ridge. reached The Martins Ferry po-
lice headquarters yesterday morning.
Saturday night shortly after S
o'clock, three men. partly masked, en-
tered the Moore farm house and de-
manded that all cash on hand be turn
ed over to them Immediately, and to
emphasize their meaning pointed re-
volrer at the aged couple.
At the time the robbery was commit
ted no one was at home except Mr.. and
Mrs. Moore. One OF the mel was sta
toned in the front yard to see that no.
body approached the house. while one
on the inside guarded the aged couple.
and the other busted himself ransacking
the house for raluabies.
Seventy cents was the amount OF
cash secured and no other raluables
were taken. They were evidently con-
fideat OF making rich haul and were
quite disappointed In the amount OF
booty secured and remarked before
taking their departure. that they would
not take that amount except in need OF
money.
No violence was attempted on either
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore, but before leaving
they decided that they should be bound
so that the neighbors would not be in
formed as TO what had happened, but
after plea TO the contrary from Mr..
Moore. they were left unbound. and the
perpetrators made their escape uamo-
