AN ASSAULT AT B. & Q. DEPOT.


Last evening about seven o'clock. a
Hungarian, too intoxicated to tell his
name, was held up by two unknown
men 1ack Of the old B. & o. passenger
station. Watchman Hatfield, who was
on duty in the vicinity at the time,
caught n of the men and the other
succeeded in making his escape. The
police were notified and the thief was
handed yer to Officer Larkin. At
police headquarters the stranger said
he had just arrived in the city and
when seized by the Waterman was
searching the mans clothing for a
bottle of whisky, because he seemed to
be drunk. According to the watchman's
story the two men caught hold Of the
Hungarian and threw him to the
ground. While one held him the other
searched through his pockets. 1t is
net known whether or not the thieves
secured a bottle of whisky or any other
articles. The prisoner will very likely
be taken befor a justice of the peace.
After the capture the other man ran
as. quickly as he could over the trestle
toward the South Side and has not
been seen since.

In the Several Tournaments to Date,
and Particularly During the Past
Week-The Wellsburg-Wheeiing
Series to BE Played This Week.
Alley Notes.

The past week in the Wheeling tour
namenG was full CT surprises 10 at
least a few teams. (
The X. X. X. team expected three
from Hennlng's Rough Riders since
they were on pretty. good terms with
Henning, but the latter thought that
friendship ceased en- the alleys and
the result was the Kobs lost two. The
next night the Emigrants plugged IT
to the All RIOTERS for two games.
Wednesday night the Apollos had a fit
which seemed to catch hem all at
about the same tins, and place, and
the result is they downed the Ken
mores for three straight and leave the
latter in last place. The next night
the All Alike boys won The first one
so easy that they thought they had
three cinched, but the Oceola boys
made them change their smile by tax
ing the second game by four pins.
Friday night the Wheelings lined up
ten thousand strong and OF course had
no trouble in taking three from the
kissing Bugs, yet they get an awful
soaring in the first.
The only changes in the race is that
the Oceolas now tie the Emigrants for
fourth and the Apollos have ccmle from
tenth to ninph place, while the Ken
mcres went from ninth to tenth.
TIE work to date of the ten teams
will be found below:

bowied at Fette's alleys next Wednes-
day afternoon at 2:30 and evening at
s o'clock. The Wellsburg boys are
hardly the equal of our own" but
Wheeling will give their opponents
enough OF a handicap to make the
games highly interesting. The Wheel
ing boys will wear their new uniforms
for the first time in this city (haying
worn them once at Wellsburg) on that
day and make a fine appearance.
Seats will be arranged on the two side
alleys to accommodate the large crowd
that will no doubt go out to see he

and everybody is invited. The Wheel
ing team will line up as follows:
Campbell, Handlan, Stevenson, Mars

REsOI.UTION FOR CONTEMPT

tempted Bribery.

FRANKFORT, KY, January 6.-The
Senate was the only branch of the Leg
islature in session to-day, but what
promised to be a dull session proved to
be the l~iveliest yet held by that body.
After adopting a resolution providing
fer contempt proceedings before a joint
committee against John Whallen and
Charles Ryan for alleged attempt 10
bride Senator Harrell, the rules for
government of the two houses in joint
session, prepared by the Democratic
steering committee and fathered by the
Committee on Rules, were reported and
adopted after a bitter fight. The anti
Goebel Democrats in the House, so lar,
have not shown their hand and have ac-
quiesced in everything proposed by the
majority, but the Republican leaders
say the combined anti-Goebel forces
will stand together on the fight against
the rules as proposed by the Senate,
and the fight will at least be made in
teresting. The chief feature of the
rules is that the Speaker of the House
is made the. presiding officer in the
Joint assembly, a right which Lieut..
GCA6II1OT MdISildll QCNidiOS ID Nch
ferred on him alone by the constltu-
ton.
The Franklin county grand jury to-
day asked and was granted an extern
sion of time to continue Investigations
of unfinished matters it has before it.
The Whallen-Harrell case was not re-
ported, and there is a report that the
grand jury is going further than the
bribery charges and will go into other
matters connected either directly or
Indirectly with political affairs.
Judge Cantrell to-day entered an Or
der granting the injunction prayed for
by election commissioners Poyntz and
Fulton, restraining Mackey and Coch-
ran, Governor Taylor's appointees,
from qualifying and acting. The court,
after granting the injunction, entered
an order setting it aside and giving
the right to appeal, stating that he
thought the case was of such import
ance that it should be passed on by the
court of last resort
This gives the Democratic commits
sioners the election of the judge before
whom the case shall be heard in the
Court of Appeals.

ANOTHER BABY FOUND
The Discovery Made by Office

The Discovery Made by Officer
Donovan on the south
Last evening about five O'Clock Of
ficer Donovan found a female foetus
wrapped up in some clothing lying on
a board pile in alley 10, between Water
street and alley A. Coroner Schultze
was at once notified and according to
his instructions the body was taken
to White, Handley & Fosters under
taking establishment to be prepared
for burial. Later an inquest was held.
Dr.. Armbreeht made an examination OF
the body and the coroner rendered a
verdict to the effect that it was an evil
dent case of abortion. Around the
foetus was wrapped three skirts, MAX
ing quite a large bundle. There were
no marks on the clothing which might
tend to furnish a clue in the case. In
speaking of the discovery the coroner
said that it was evidently a case of
abortion, for if it had been a respect
able case the baby would have been
quietly buried and reported to the
health officer.

THE ROBERTS CASE.
THE UTAH MAN MADE HIS FINAL
ARGUMENT YESTERDAY
MORNING.
The Committee Adjourned Until
Wednesday without Taking Final
Action on the Case-sumnary of
Roberts Defense.

WASHINGTON, January 6-When the
Roberts committee resumed its sessions to-
day Mr.. Roberts went on with his argu-
ment begun yesterday. He reviewed the
action of the constitutional convention Of
Utah, urging that this carried out the re-
quirements Of Congress for the admission
of Utah as a State, namely that polyga-
nous marriages should no longer be con-
tracted. In particular Mr.. Roberts con-
tended there was no requirement by Con-
gress or in the constitutional convention
that previously contracted matrimonial as
sociat3ons should be interrupted.
In the course OF his argument Mr..
Roberts said he had observed that the
ladies involved in this question of
ceived in the circles of gentle ladies'
in Utah. He vehemently denounced
what he characterized as the ''sensa-
tional crusade" made against him, and
also the effort to o u public feeling
by saying the American home" was
in danger.
IF necessary. he exclaimed, II
could call attention to 10, evils
which threaten the country without
going to. the State OF Utah."
In closing Mr.. Roberts said that patriot
ism Of the Mormon church toward the
country could not be questioned. When a
fund was raised fer the survivors of the
battIeship Maine. the Mormon church had
contributed one-ffth OF the entire amount.
When the country's authority in the Phil
ippInes was questioned Utah guns ham
died by Utah men, had been In the fore
front Of the fray.
Mr.. Schroeder. the Gentle representative
stated that no further point would be
made on Roberts naturalization papers az
It was desired to exclude him from Con-
gress specifically and solely on the ground
CT his being a ~polygamsst.
After the arguments closed members Of
the committee attached scnTe Importance
