Since the meeting of the National
League magnates in New York last
week, the baseball war is on in ear
nest, and the chances are that neither
side will give up as long as there is any
possible chance for them. The Ma
tional league turned the proposed
American Association down. and now
has to fight the American league open
handed, and she will find that the
American league is made up Of men
who know a little about the game
weaIthier organization of the two.
The public will doubtless be inter-
ested in knowing something of the re-
sources of the two rival baseball or
CARNATIONS. Mr.. Andrew Freedman,
president of the New York club, who
is the right-hand man of Richard Gro
ker, is said to be worth at least 81, 000,-
900. His club is situated in the most
populous city in America, and if it
plays good ball, should do a good bust
ness. Mr.. Freedman is in favor of
showing the American league no quar-
ter. and believes that the National
league will win out, hands down. in a
war. He is a man who does not weak
en- easily, and is an advocate of clean
baseball. He thinks that Ban Johnson
and his co-workers have acted hastily
and will realize their mistake when it
is too late. A. H. Soden. the president
of the Boston club, is dealer in ship
supplies, and is rated as a million
aire. Mr.. Conant is veteran manu-
facturer of rubber goods and his wealth
is rated at between $500, 900 and 81 ,OOO,-
900. Mr.. Billings is shoe manufac-
turer and is rated high in the various
commercial agencies.
Gus Abel, the principal owner of the
Brooklyn club, is said to be a million
aire. Rogers and Reach, who own the
Philadelphia National league team, are
both well supplied with the worlds

Schoepf and those interested in the
Pittsburg big league team, are wealthy

can thus be seen that the combined

Sentinel Guarding McKinleys Remains
Attacked by Masked Man.

Canton, o., Sept. Bottle soldiers
guarding the vault in Westlawn Gem
etery, where the body of President
Mckinley lies, were startled at night
by visit from two providers, whose
purpose is believed to have been to
blow up the vault with dynamite. Sew
enty regulars from Fort Wayne, Mich,
are stationed in the cemetery, and
twenty of the number are constantly
on guard about the vault. The senti-
mel on duty on top of the vault saw
one strange man. who refused to heed
his challange. He raised his gun to
shoot, when his gun was struck by
a second man, who wore mask. The
two had a struggle. during which the
masked man attempted to stab the
guard.

OF the fNrd1Fie STATE.
Springfield, Ills, Sept. 27.-The first
official act of Acting Governor John j.

chief executive of the state at what Is
intended to be the final removal Of the
remains of Abraham Lincoln. The
casket was taken from it's resting place

viewed by the state officers, who are
members of the Lincoln Monument as
ISOLATION, and some members Of the
old Lincoln Guard Of Honor, and the
contractors. After viewing the re-
mains the basket was closed and then
removed to the new vault.
The body now rests east and west,
the head being toward the west. Two
feet of concrete protects the bottom
of the casket. Surrounding the casket
is steel cage, around which will be
placed a solid wall of concrete. The
location of the new resting place is
Immediately beneath where the car

very good state of preservation, but
were easily identified. Brenholt was
present at the burial of Lincoln.

tatives having knowledge of the re-
moval until after 1t had been accom-

Czolgosx Sentenced to Die in the Electric
Chair Next Month.

Buffalo, Sept 27.-Leon +. CZolgosz,
the assassin of President Mckinley.
was yesterday sentenced to die in the
electric chair in Auburn state prison
during the week beginning Oct. %,
1901. Before sentence was passed the
assassin evinced desire to speak, but
he could not get his voice above a
whisper, and his words We're repeated
to the court by his counsel. There
was no one else but me-" the prisoner
said In a whisper. 'NO one else told
me to DO 1t, and no one paid me to do
1t. was not told anything about the
crime. and l never thought anything
about that until a couple of days be-
fore committed the crime"
CZOlgOsz then sat down. He was
quite calm, but II was evident that his
mind was flooded with thoughts of his
own distress. At this point Judge
Titus came over to the prisoner and
babe him good-by. Czolgosz replied
very family, letting his eye rest upon
the man who has been his counsel.
"Good-by," he said weakly.
CZolgosz was then hurried down
stairs and through the tunnel of sObs'

for his crime.

DEATH TO SEVEN MEN
Explosion of an Oil Tank While L. Was
Under Process of Cleansing.

New York, Sept. 27-Six men, and
possibly seven, were killed and seven
injured by the explosion yesterday Of
an oil tank of the Essex and Hudson
Gas company at Newark, n. J. The
known dead are: Lawrence Kirch
employed in the works., William
Meyer, Otto Newman foreman at the
works., Alfred Snyder, Nicholas Mil
Ter and an unidentified man. Many
witnesses say there is body in the
river, as they saw it hurled high in
the air and thrown in that direction.
The tank which exploded was one
of number of immense steel reser-
voirs which was undergoing its peri
odical cleaning, it having been emp
tied of it's oil In the morning. The
tank was twenty feet deep and Kirch,
Meyer and Newman entered through
the manhole without taking the pre-
caution of having ropes tied about
them. They were immediately over
come by the fumes. Men then began
with chisels to cut large ring in the
tank. 1t is supposed one of the CHS
els, in striking the steel, caused the
emission of spark, and that caused

DID NOT TELL sCHLEY
Admiral IBID Not Know the Location OF
the Spanish Fleet,


Washington, Sept. 25.-The Schley
court OF inquiry was brought to sud-
den termination for the day eighteen
minutes after converting by the an
nouncement Of the sudden death Of
Judge jeremiah Wilson, senior coun-
sci for Admiral Schley.
Death was caused from an acute at
tack of indigestion.
Washington, Sept. 27-Captain W..
c. Wise, who commanded the scout
Yale during the war with Spain, was
on the witness stand in the Schley in
quiry during most of the time and testi-
fled that he did. not inform Comman-
Ger Schley that the Spanish fleet was
in Santiago harbor, Notwithstanding
the fact that he had positive orders
from the secretary of the navy to
so notify every vessel of the flying
squadron. Captain Wise notified Cap
tain Philip of the Texas just as the
flying squadron was starting for Key
West to coal, and so far as was devel-
oped this important fact was not COM
municated to Schley.
Aittl w lSt lldu Dctu eACuStu iu-
miral Cotton was recalled and asked
to relate conversation on the morning
of May 81 when he went on board
Schley's flagship to deliver dispatches.
He said: HE informed me that it had
been ascertained that some, at least, Of
the ships of Admiral Cervera's squad
ron were within the harbor of Santi-
ago; that they had been seen and were
IN sight, and, as matter of fact, one
OF them was then in sight at the en-
trance to the harbor. In language as
nearly as l can remember he said:
After dinner I am going to hoist my
flag on board the Massachusetts, and
take her and the Iowa and go in and
have pot shot at those fellows"
Washington, Sept. 2S.-During the
examination of Lieutenant John Hood,
who commanded the Hawk during the
Spanish war, the navy department in
the Schley case desired to prove that
Hood delivered verbal Instructions
from Sampson to Schley in addition to
written Instructions, and the court de-
cided to admit the testimony to prove
the same. Schley was then at Glen
fuegos and Sampson had sent him a
dispatch which read: Spanish squad
ron probably at Santiago-four ships
and three torpedo boat destroyers. II
you are satisfied that they are not at
Cienfuegos proceed with all dispatch,
but cautiously, to Santiago, and If the
enemy is there blockade him in port,
etc"
The Schley counsel objected vigor-
ously to the Introduction of evidence
of verbal instruction which would
convict the applicant of disregarding
the orders of his superior officer, the
commander-inichief; while the depart
ment desired also to get in the CONVEX
sation Hood had with Sampson at the
time he was given the orders. This
conversation was ruled out

must deal with the blood. It must be
able to eradicate and eliminate the
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the pimples, blotches,
boils and other eruptions disappear,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
to cleanse the blood from scrofilla Is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
scrofula in its most grevious forms.
81 am using a good many of your
medicines in my practice" writes DIR.
Joseph Fke, of Lost Springs, Marion
Co., Kansas. "Ten years ago there
was an emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was a lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were in an awful con-
dition, and there were Jumps on the out
srde, below the jaws, the size of hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said it was fatal case. I felt
confident that none OF my remedies
would benefit her any. 1t came to my
mind that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases, so went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave it to her to
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she Is we'll to day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children"
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry Judged solely by the cures 1t has
effected is without doubt the most pow
erful and most perfect blood purifying
medicine Of the century. 1t Is radi-
cal remedy. II goes to the root OF the
disease. Some preparations containing
mineral poisons such as mercury are
offered as cures for scroinla. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms
Of disease for while and give the skin
