FOR FREDERICKSBURG PARK.

A Delegation Urges Secretary Root
to Approve the Project.
A delegation of army officers and promi-
nent citizens of Fredericksburg, Va. call
ed on the Secretary Of War this morning
to request him to approve the report of the
commissioners on establishing a national
park near Fredericksburg.
The park is to embrace about 5000 acres
lying west of Fredericksburg and partly in
the city. 1t can be bought. it is said. for
about 100000. Colonel Bird and Colonel
Wheeler, of the War Department. went
over the proposed site for the park some
time ago and reported favorably on it. 1t
was for the purpose of having the Secre-
tary of War approve this report in his an
nual recommendations to Congress that
the delegation called.
Gen. Horatio c. King. of New York, act
ed as spokesman for the delegation. He
explained to Mr.. Root that the proposed
site had been the scene Of several of the
most famous battles of the civil war,
among them the first and second battles
of Fredericksburg. Charlottesville. Will
derness. Spottsylvania Court House, Todd q
Tavern. and Hamilton Crossing. Over 500.-
900 men were engaged In these battles and
10000 were killed.
Mr.. Root said he would give the delega-
tion's request his earnest consideration.
Among the delegation were: Gen. George
D. Ruggles and Col. John Cassels;. Gen. Ho-
ratio C. King. of New York; Judge James
B. Sever, and the following Fredericksburg
gentlemen: Col. E. D. Cole. Captain s. A.
Quinn, M. G. Willis. E. T. Emery, Dr. John
NJ. Griffin. H. H. Johnson, Major T. Nor
ris, T. M. Brent and Capt. T. McCracken.
Representative Rixey, of the Eighth Con-
gressional District, accompanied the dele
cation. The delegates called on President
Mckinley this afternoon and invited him
to stop over in Fredericksburg en- route to
Richmond next Tuesday.

ing following the white boys receive in
struction and the colored boys go in for
sport.
The home. too, has military drill under
the care of a former regular army man.
This drill has been eminently successful,
and drill nights the room is filled. The
society feels that it keeps many boys from
the streets and from questionable resorts.
Newsboys who desire to eat at this insti-
tuition can obtain 4 good breakfast or a
dinner for cents. Breakfast consists of
oatmeal, meat, rolls. toast, and coffee.
Dinner is composed Of meats, stews, vege-
tables. bread, and butter. Supper consists
OF tea. cold meat, fruit, bread. and butter
The charge of cents is imposed simply to
instill feeling of independence in the
minds of the boys, and to relieve sensitive
ones from feeling that they are objects
of charity.

THE CLUB NOT SOLD.
The Kerr-Wntkins Deal in Pittsbure
Declared on.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 27.-The Pittsburg
baseball club was not sold yesterday and
W. H. Watkins, the prospective purchaser.
left town last night. The deal is off and
Watkins does rot know yet whether he
will seek to reopen the negotiations.
Wednesday night things looked favorable
to Watkins and he was positive the club
would belong to him, but az o'clock yes
terday afternoon President W. w. Kerr
made this announcement: "Mr. Watkins
had until noon today to make good, but he
failed to do so and all negotiations are at
an end. II Mr.. Watkins is still anxious to
buy the club he will have to make a new
offer" Watkins was informed Of this at
p. m. He was amazed and would not be-
lieve it until he had found, Mr.. Kerr, who
told him the deal was OIL.
Barney Dreyfus. Of the Louisville. club,
arrived here yesterday but refused to state
whether he was concerned In the negotia-
tions, although he and Messrs. Kerr and
Watkins had long conference. Mr.. Wat
kins said last night before leaving that he
had supposed the deal had gone through,
hence his surprise at Kerr's action. He
would not say why his hackers did not pro-
duce the money.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-John Diehl, thir-
ty-six years old. lineman in the employ
of the Western Union Telegraph Compa-
ny in Newark, y. j., narrowly escaped
death yesterday morning at Broad and
Commerce Streets.
Diehl was fixing wires near the top OF
a pole about thirty-five feet high. Sud-
denly the two workmen who were assisting
him from the ground were astonished to
see his cutting plyers and other tools drop
from his hands. His body then relaxed and
fell from the place where he had been
working, landing as limp as a rag on one
Of the cross arms OF the pole. One of his
hands had come in contact with a live
electric light wire.
1t seemed certain that his body would in
a few moments drop from the cross arm
to the sidewalk and that he would be kill
ed. Police headquarters, only short dis
tance away. was notified, and fire truck
No. 1 summoned.
Before the truck reached the scene, how
ever. Diehl seemed to revive. He
Strengthened up slowly, clasped the pole
with his arms. and, after resting a short
time, descended to the ground, using his
iron spurs. He seemed uninjured.

The Secretary of War, Quartermaster r
General Luddington, Surgeon General

finer than any of her sisters. She can carry
1,G50 men comfortably and even more if
necessary. We consider the Thomas the
finest transport We have" said Quarter
master General Ludington, land we want

We will spend several hours tomorrow
giving the Thomas close inspection and
expect her TO meet every requirement"

The board of managers of the Newsboys
and Children's Aid Society. held a meeting
yesterday for the purpose of selecting a
successor to Miss B. NJ. Wilson. the ma
tron of the home. Several applications for
the position were considered By the men,
bers CT the board. but when the meeting
adjourned no conclusion was reached. The
next meeting will be at the call of the
president, and it is probable that it will
be held next week.
The resignation of Miss Wilson, as ma
trcn CT the home, was formally presented
to the board of managers several weeks
ago. In it, Miss Wilson expressed a de-
sire to have her successor appointed as
soon as possible. Miss Wilson made the
resignation take eeffct as soon as the va
cancy is filled.
She told a Times reporter yesterday that
she felt that it was necessary for her to
have a long rest, for she has been COM
pletely tired out At the home she has
to work both day and night, and the re-
sponsiblities are considerable. Miss Will
son has already received a number of Of
fers of employment, but she has declined
them all, saying that she must have long
term of complete rest before again resum-
ing work.
It is her intention to go to New York
where she has friends, and take up course
of studies and lectures. She will continue
this for at least a year.
When the suggestion was made by the
reporter that study was pretty hard work
Miss Wilson smiled and replied;
1T was not SO with me- Study will rest
me, for l have done SO little of it since 1
have been at the home"
Referring to the charge she is about to
leave, Miss Wilson said that the attendance
at the gymnasium each night averages 100
poor boys, mostly those who sell papers.
There are now but twenty-one children
lodged in the institution, and some Of these
are babies. To have these babies cared
for in a proper way has been a source of
much satisfaction by mothers. who must
toll all day to find food for. perhaps. sew
eral other children.
Mothers may take their little ones to the
society and leave them day or a week.
or even longer. until, in fact, the mother
can properly care for them. Frequently
the mother becomes i'll; the father. unable
to employ nurses and servants finds much
assistance by being able to leave the child
at the home until the mothers health re-
turns. AS soon as the child Is wanted by
its parents they may take 1t. No legal pa
pers are executed by parent or society, and
to obtain possession the parent simply has
to ask for the child.
During the past year the society has Civ
en- special attention to the interests of the
newsboys. The gymnasium was kept open
all summer. and 1t is now in full swing.

THE COLOMBIAN OUTBREAK.
A Report That the Trouble Ii Con
fined to the Mountains

A Report That the Trouble IL Con-
fined to the Mountains.
From the reports received by the State
Department from its officers in Colombia
the Government has been led to believe
that the insurrection in that country is
confined to the mountains. The inform
ant of the State Department in which the
Government appears to place so much Gre
dence, says, however, that there is dan
ger that the railroad across the Isthmus
will be seized and traffic interrupted.
There is no doubt that the United States
will follow the course it pursued during
the Colombian revolution of 1885, should
an attempt be made during the present
outbreak to interfere with railroad traffic
across the Isthmus. At that time the
United States marines and bluejackets
were landed on Colombian territory and
they guarded the railway line and kept
traffic open until the trouble was over.
