AN OPERATORS PLUCK.
Chases Several Robbers From b. and
d. Office at Relay.

Three men supposed to be safe blowers
visited the Baltimore and Ohio railroad Of
flee at Relay station early yesterday morn
ing. and would probably have made a good
haul had it not been for the prompt ac-
ton of Aloysius Coniff, the operator.
few minutes after II o'clock the operator
left his instrument and went to another
room to transact some business. He was
walking along the platform when he no.
ticed the curtain of the office window NOV
ing as if somebody had hold of the string
" hen he got near the door ne met a man
who pointed a revolver at him and threat
ened to kill him If he entered the room
where the company's money and tickets
were. The operator drew his revolver. and
the robher. after firing one shot, left the
station in a hurry.
After firing a shot at him the operator
started to enter his office. when he saw the
other robbers going out of the window. He
emptled his revolver at the fleeing men, but
none of the shots took effect.
Mr.. F. c. Shaw. who looks after the legal
Interests of the railroad company, went to
Relay yesterday and made investigation.
He ascer,ained that only small amount
OF money, something less than dollar had
been taken from the cash drawer Descrip-
tons of the men were obtained and the To-
cal police were notified yesterday to look

Monroe street. Anacostiar Mr.. Albert L.
Richardson of that suburb recently re-
quested hearing by the District Commits

The street, said Mr.. Richardson, Is very
narrow. and the people of the vicinity be-
lieve that the business interests of the place
will suffer greatly If the tracks are widened.
Capt. Beach, the Engineer Commissioner
has recommended that Mr. Richardson be
informed that the proposed widening Of the
car tracks on Monroe street is for the pur-
pose of permitting the cars to be run: that
the tracks formerly on that street were
adapted to the small cars with which the
people of that section were formerly served,
and that If the larger and broader cars.

tions of the District are to be provided for

cars to pass each other.
The Engineer Commissioner also recon-
mended that Mr.. Richardson be Informed
that the Commissioners will grant the de-
sired hearing in the event that, after this
explanation, 1t Is still desired but that the

INJUNCTION AGAINST HANLON
The National League and Pro-
posed Blacklist
TIE PHILADELPHIA OUTLOOK

Last Saturday evening the Association
Club in Baltimore obtained an injunction
from Judge Stockbridge against the League
organization. which prohibits the latter
from interfering with the buildings at Union
Park.
After getting out the injunction the as
sociation people further pressed their at
tack and just at dusk executed flank
movement on the league forces. BY a
clever1y- planned movement they turned the
enemys right flank and threw strong de-
tachment over the fence in the rear, while
the besieged were watching the gates In
front.
The injunction which is only temporary,
was granted by Judge Stockbridge in Cir
cult Court No. 2, conditional upon the FL
ing of the bond of 5000 by the associa-
ton. and was obtained upon a petition filed
by Sans and Johnson, attorneys for the
association, setting forth the fact that the

NATIONAL LEAGUE METHoDs.
Alleged Relations of the WaSners
and the Association.
From the New York Sun Ted

Some time ago the Sun stated that the
National League magnates would probably
blacklist" John McGraw for trying to jump
Baltimore's ball grounds and players into
the new American Association When Nc
Graw asked Edward Hanlon if the league
really intended TO apply the blacklist and
incidentally drive him out of base ball, he
was informed that the league would not
adopt such an obnoxious and un-American
measure, and that the statement had been
made without league authority. But the
man who gave the original story TO the
Sun and who is high up in league politics,
has reiterated his remarks, but this time
he goes into details to show that while
the league, as a whole. will not vote to
blacklist McGraw, there will probably be
an understanding between the league men
and the Baltimore club whereby McGraw
will be virtually driven out of base ball
unless he is willing to submit 10 unsatfs-
factory terms
The league men have advised the Brook
lyn-Baltimore syndicate what to do, and it
will be done without flourish Of trum-
pets. McGraw will be excluded from base
ball in such manner that nobody can
say that he has been blacklisted.
There is one piece of information that the
association promoters may find out in due
time. Several of the so-caiied hackers in
their midst are not hackers at all, but
agents of the National League. When mat
ters come to another showdown these
agents. who are posing as hackers, will
throw the association down hard. Why
the Providence people went to the recent
meeting az Philadelphia ready to do any
thing in the interest of the National League.
Do you know why the circuit committee.
headed by Brush, has not yet closed a
deal with Wagner for the withdrawal of
the Washington club? Well, 1 can tell you
the facts. Wagner has been playing a
sErewd game. If the league had bought him
out of Washington last December he would
now be at the head of an association club
at Philadelphia. Wagner was fully pre-
pared to back an association club in Rog-
er's town. but he couldn't take a chance 50
lCTg as the league held up the circuit re-
duction plan. Brush and the others gus
pected that Wagner would make some such
move and consequently they put off aeso-
tiations for the sale of the Washington
franchise until the last moment. When the
circuit is reduced Wagner will receive
certain amount of money from the league
and a franchise in the new Eastern League
which will be very strong combination.
The Eastern League. by the way will in
clude Washington, Baltimore. Philadelphia.
Buffalo. Toronto. Montreal, Worcester and
Providence. unless all signs fail. Buffalo Is
tired of the American League and will
come back to its first love.

UTAH MINE HORROR.
Several Hundred Lives Blotted out
by Explosion Mt Scofield.


Salt Lake City: Two hundred and one
bodies had been recovered from the Pleas
ant Valley mine at Scofield up to Wednes-
day night. 1t is now known between 300
and 400 men entered the mine, q great ma
jority of whom were killed.
This mine had been worked over twenty
years, and had the reputation, according
TO State Mine Inspector Thomas. of being
one of the best ventilated and protected in
the west. He states that he inspected it
less than five weeks ago, and believed IT
entirely safe at that time. 1t never had
bad air and always iHd been free from
gas, and as the coal is all loaded with
shovcls there could not have been a large
accumulation of dust. Nine-tenths of the
men killed We're Americans and WEIGH.
The former came mostly from Utah. with
IL small number from Tennessee and
Colorado.
Whether it was Il power explosion or a
dust explosion, or both. has not been de-
cided: in fact. no one had any thought but
the rescue of the injured. the recovery of
the dead and the relief of the suffering.
The financial loss to The cannot
be estimated, but it will be very great. In
every way it is regarded AS the worst
disaster that ever occurred in this part of
the country.
