here on May %, stated to an Intelligent
Ger man yesterday afternoon that al
though everything is guess work as yet,
he believed there would be at least three
bidders In the field for the Terminal ut
the forthcoming sale-the Wabash,
Wheeling & Lake Erie and Baltimore &;
Ohio. The Wheeling & Lake Erie, he
said, has about 100000 of the Terminate
bonds, and the Baltimore & Ohio is said
to have more.
The Intelligencer learns from a gen.
tleman who is close to affairs in the
Pennsylvania management, that the
"Pennsy" will more than likely be a
biduer for the Terminal. The big trunk
line wants the Terminal in order that It
may connect up Its Pan Handle and

AGAINST SUNDAY BALL.
"Amorican's" Arguments Aguins
Base Ball on the Sabbath.

"American's" Arguments Against
Base Ball on the Sabbath.
To the Editor of the Intelllgencer
sIR:-sfnce last Sundays base ball
game. there has been an unusual
amount OF interest taken in the question
of Sunday observance. From every Of
fee, store and shop you may hear argu-
ments for and against. Some of these
points are well taken, while others are
the very essence Of Inconsistency.
It cannot be denied that in the sight
of God one violation OF his law to keep
the Sabbath is as much sin as another.
There Is just as much wrong In the open
saloon and the drunken carousal of a
beer-garden as there is in base ball The
man who keeps an open saloon, beer
garden or manages base ball team on
the Sabbath is no greater sinner than
the protested Christian who compcls his
employe to work q part or all of the
Sabbath in store or office.
They are all wrong and should be dis

GEO. LANDMFSSER'S ATTEMPT
Along the Same Line Was a Pro-
nOunced Failure, His Apph-
cation Being Tabled.
SAMBOYCEELECTED SOLICITOR
Succeeding Frank W. Nesbitt, Whose
Resignation Was Presented
and Accepted.

Teh feature of the meeting of the city
legislature last night was the attempt
to put through licenses Of several of the
.fourteenp who were recently turned
down SO hard. Three of the applIca-
lions went through. but the attempts to
grant license to the others failed. rtla
applicants who received license are
John G. Kline, Robert Clark and Trosch
& Hadorn. The. Kline and Clark appli-
cations were never passed upon adj
verseIy in the committee on petitions
and remonstrances, and the objection
to them made by Mr.. Watarhouse in
the first branch at the last meeting of
council was based only on hearsay,
without an investigation. The second
branch had already acted favorably
upon these. and the first branch took
similar action by 4 vote of to 4.
The other successful applicants,
Trosch & Hadorn, run the Farmers
Home" on Market street, in the Second
ward. and they had been passed upon
adversely by the committee on petitions
and remonstrances. In the second
branch last night, there was a peculiar
development. First the motion to re-
consider the adverse action on the APP
pllcatlon was defeated. Then some
councilmen changed their minds, and
reconsideration of the adverse action
was had. after which the branch passed
the application. Is to s. In the first
branch the license was granted, to 4.
Frank w. Nesbitt resigned as city
solicitor and Sam o, Boyce was chosen
his successor. Frank C. Cox was voted
for by the second branch Democrats,
but the first branch faithful" voted for
Boyce.
The second branch was called to Or
der at $40 p. m. In the absence Of
President Maxwell, Mr.. Healy was ele-
waited to the chair. Nineteen members
answered the roll call. At the sugges-
ton of Clerk o'Brlen the reading of the
minutes Of the last meeting was dis
pensed with. President Maxwell came
