FRAMING THINGS FOR BRUSH.
Men With Money Are After cincin-
natl Magnate's Franchise.

CINCINNATI, Dec 6.-Considerable
mystery still surrounds the recent
tangle in the local baseball situation.
The developments of the past two days
make it certain that the Spaldlng faction
has been doing some strong work agalnst
Brush, and, while he will undoubtedly put
up fight, there now seems to be niue
chance for him against the faction head
ed by Col Ellison, W. R. Zuick and
others. sffsi}
The part which Ban Johnson has played
in the drama is what is arousing the
curiosity of local fans. The American
league leader has had several mysterious
conferences with Zulick, and it is now
virtually conceded that his presence here
when the ANTITRUST scheme was start
ed has not been accidental
It was reported tonight that there was
still a possibility that the American
league would enter Cincinnati, shifting
the Cleveland franchise here, but this
was vigorously denied. 1t is known that
Johnson and Brush have not been friends
for many years, but this animosity alone
could hardly explain away any support
which Johnson has given the new COM
pany if it is strictly National league
proposition.
Many contend that the American league
is still looking for an opening here and
that it may yet father the new corpora
ton unless the latter finds smooth sail
ing under the Spalding banner.
If the Ellison combina ton remains in
the National league and has had that in
tention from its inception Johnson's con-
nection with the deal indicates that he
has closer understanding with A G.
Spalding than either one of the big lead
ers is willing to admit It is known
that Spalding and Johnson had a confer
oilce early last summer, and If the re-
cent developments are the outcome of
that meeting it seems plain that a COM
bination even bigger than that proposed
by Freedman and Brush at New York
is in process of formation with Spaldine
the new deal.

man, is at the head of the movement.

GAS STOVE STARTS FIRE
$4,000 BLAZE IN THE WAsHBURN
BLOCK LAST EVENING
Halls Were Filled With Smoke, and
Tenants Were Forced to
Leave in No Little
Haste.

The fire department was called to the
Washburn building about $40 last even
ing to extinguish stubborn blaze in
the tailor shop of J. Fox, in the rear
on the second floor of the building. The
fire is supposed to have been caused by
the explosion of the gas stove, and the
entire room was completely Quilted. For
few minutes it looked as If the fire
would get beyond control but the work
of the fire department kept 1t in check
Fox was in another part of the building
delivering some clothes, and left the gas
stove burning. He had been gone but
a few minutes when M. w. Steffey, the
manager of the building, was notified Of
the fire, and selling two pals Of water
he ran to where the fire was, but on
reaching the door Of the room mass of
fame shot through 1t, and he was forced
back by the heat and smoke.
Quickly making his way up stairs
through the heavy smoke he raised the
alarm and sent word to fire headquarters.
In a moment there was the widest ex-
citement among the tenants, and one
and all made their way down stairs with
out even waiting to take anything with
them Much credit is due Alfred john
son, one of the janitors, for when ne
saw the elevator boy leave his post; he
took charge of the elevator and carried
passengers to the bottom from the floors
above.
The damage to the contents of the tai
lor shop will amount to about $500, and
the Wasburn Chemical company, which
occupied the next room, also sustained
a loss to the extent of about $50.
Neither of the above tenantsN carried
any insurance. The building is owned
by Mrs Louise ]. Barney, of Richmond,
Va, and was damaged to the extent of
nearly $4,000. The loss is fully covered
by insurance.
Several Of the other tenants in the
building also suffered slight losses from
the smoke, and Miesen's cafe sustained
some loss from water. During the fire
John E. Dempsey fell from ffth-story
window and sustained injuries from which
he died three hours later. In another
column will be found an account Of this
accident.
