man is tfle fayorite. IL is said that Penn
sylvania will support him, as against Dr.
Dickey, for the reason that the latter, who
is pastor Of John Wanamakers church, is
opposed to the Rev. w. II. Roberts as
stated clerk. There is a fight on Roberts,
and Dicley leads it, so it is said. The
stated clerk has a good many enemies,
everybody admits, but everybody also ad-
Tlits that he is an admirable official. The
opposition is partly personal and partly
doctrinal, the Rev. DR.. Roberts having
been in office for a long time at large
saiary-the size of the salary is an ele-
Tnent in the opposition-and being most
pronounced conservative. The Rev. DR..
McKibbin was a candidate last year, and
it is rare that a General Assembly takes
to man two years In succession. The
Row. DIR. McEwan is young and, 1t is
charged. mas not yet done much to deserve
the honor but strong forces are actively
behind him.
Candidates for the office of permanent
clerk of the General Assembly are not
few. The place is vacant through the
death last year of the Rev. DR.. w. E.
Moore of Columbus, o. The salary at
tached to it is only $500 a year, but, UNI
like the stated clerk, the duties can be
performed by man in the pastorate, or
who does other work. The leading candi-
dates to date are the Rev. DR.. Charles S.
McClelland, of the Mt. Washington
church, Pittsburg: the Rev. DR.. John Hen
derson Miller. of Nevada. Mo-; the Rev.
DIR. w. 3. Noble, of Redlands, Cal. and
the Rev DIR. G. w. F. Birch, of Bethany
Church, New York. The Rev. DR.. Miller
is endorsed by the synod of Missouri. and
the Rev. DR.. Birch is the prosecutor Of
the appeal before the General Assembly
in the McGiffert case. Other candidates
are likely to appear in the field before the
Assembly opens.
THE WOMAN QUESTION.
The woman question has come forward
again in the Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence talk during the past fortnight. Some
think it easily the most portentious mat
ter before the approaching Chicago meet
ing: that Is fullest of what may prove
explosive material. 1t is precipitated
through the election by an Illinois annual
conference of a woman as provisional DEL
egate. The Conference of four years ago
regarded the question of the admission
of women as delegates a constitutional
one. and referred it to the annual confer
ences. The latter voted overwhelmingly
against the admission of women. Now it
is said the approaching conference may
declare it not constitutional matter, and
decide it. If this woman is admitted the
question will settle down for a time. If

The American Woman Collapsed Completely and Screamed
 Like a Maniac.

Fl Paso, Tex, January 26.-Mrs. John D. Rich alias Mattie D. Rich, the Chicago woman surrendered to Mexico to Joe tried for the murder of her husband in Juarez last May, was today adJudged guilty by the Mexican court and sentenced to serve fourteen years In prison. The finding of the court was read to the woman in her cell this morning, she being unable to at tend court owing to a broken leg. Only her attorneys Messrs. D. A. Richardson and Antonio Baldarama and the court off cials were present.
 The woman collapsed completely when she heard the sentence and screamed like a maniac. It required the combined strength of two guards to prevent her from assaulting the officials She was finally quieted, however, and then asked the pardon of those present for her con- duct.
 Defendants lawyers will appeal to the higher court at Chihuahua and in the event the finding of the lower court is affirmed Governor Ahumada will be asked for a pardon. Money is required to prosecute the appeal and a subscription list has been opened here by United States Marshal Hilldebrand.
 search of Mrs. Rich's cell last night re- vealed the fact that a quantity of nitrate acid and other poisonS had been concealed there. Mrs. Rich had declared that she would commit suicide if convicted and had procured the poison for that purpose. She will be imprisoned at Chihuahua.

EIGHT CLUBS TO
 FORM THE LEAGUE
MagnateS Will Force Washing
 ton and Baltimore Out.
CONCLUSION IS REACHED
Louisville and Cleveland Have Been Dropped, Franchises Having Been Offered to American League
 for Practically Nothing

Cleveland, January 26.-After lodging the newspaper men for three days, the circuit committee of the National Baseball League has finally arrived at something tangible From sources that can be depended upon 1t was learned last night that the committee has settled on a circuit, and that the de- tails will be made public in few days. Louisville and Cleveland have been drop ped. The franchises of the two cities have been offered to the American league for practically no consideration, and 1t only requires the ratification of the American league magnaltes to make the deal tcnding. The committee. of which John T. Bush is the chairman. has failed to reach any con- clusions with the Baltimore and Washing ton clubs, and these will be in the National League circuit for another year, unless Wagner and Won der Horst drop in their price.
 Mr. Brush has announced that the price demanded by the Orioles and Senators was entirely too steep and the committee felt justified in point olank refusal to deal with the customers. It did not take long to reach an agreement with either the Cleye- land or the Louisville interests Robson, despite his assertion in New York when he agreed with the rest of the magnates having franchises for sale that he would sell out for less than $5O,0oo. was easy to deal with It is inserted that he secured only nominal amount for his holdings in Cleveland.
 Harry Pullman said he had been willing to get out whenever the committee wished him to and he was assured that he would be protected, and that his interests, so far as players and the franchises were concerned, will be looked after. It is claimed that nothing was paid fer the Louisville franchise. The committee that arrived at these conclusions have been in hiding for several days. Some of them were located in Cleveland last night. That the business of the magnates is not en- tirely concluded was made evident when it was learned that James A. Hart and Frank DeHaas Robson were scheduled to leave Cleveland early this morning for Boston. A. H. Soden, of Boston, who is a member of the committee, has not been with the other members of the committee John T. Bush and James A. Hart have done most of the work. Bush and Hart met Monday in a south Indiana town and held forth until Tuesday. Later Colonel Rogers joined the other two, and the deal was fixed up.

BOILER EXPLODED
Wheat Crops in North Alabama in Fine
 Condition

New Decatur, January 26.-(Special.)- The boiler at the Tennessee spoke factory blew up last night, tearing a great hole in the roof of the building, but fortunately no one was hurt. It is not known what caused the explosion.
 The wheat crop in north Alabama Is looking exceedingly fine for this season of the year. The acreage sowed in wheat Is 3arger than ever known before and the farmers say that the cotton acreage will be greatly reduced this year, as there is more money in wheat.
 Notwithstanding the fact that new houses are constantly being built in the Decaturs, there is not a vacant house in the city, and the demand for more houses is on the increase.
