EBBETS WANTS PEACE.
Brooklyn Man Does Some Things
Which May Anger Spalding.

New York, March 6.-There seems to
be an excellent chance of court mar
tial being convened when Colonel
Spalding returns from the Pacific coast.
A very vigorous n1utiny seems to have
developed among the subordinate Off
GERS of the Spalding forces, which if not
checked by the instant application of
severe discipline, might have serious
effects on the grand and glorious work
of eliminating sFreedmanism' and
Brushism" from the baseball map
Major Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn wing
of the Spalding army, has been guilty
of mutinous and reasonable action. The
major is on record as asserting that a
fOur-club league, as suggested by
Colonel Spalding. would be a rank alb
surdity and that the only chance for a
successful baseball season would be the
return of the eight league clubs to a
peace basis.
Major Ebbetts also gracefully waved
the olive branch at Colonel Freedman
and Colonel Brush and frankly assured
them they could re-enter the National
league Notifications without fear of be-
Ing shot at daybreak or otherwise NAL
treated The major was also good
enough to inform the F'reedmanites that
their baseball property would be re-
speeted by the Spalding crowd and that
they need have no fears as to the re-
suits of again joining the combination
These beautiful dove of peace" senti-
ments are SO radically different from
the warlike utterances of Colonel Spald-
ing it is evident an urgent necessity
exists for the application of the severest
discipline.

The Irish Pugilist Wants Another
Match With McGovern.

New York, March 6.-Dave Sullivan,
the Irish pugilist. whose coiors were
lowered by Terry McGovern at Louis
vile is back in town. Despite his defeat
Sullivan is confident that if he gets n
other chance at Terry he will be able
to turn the tables. Sullivan contends
that he was too sure of winning, and
that his supreme confidence was the
reason of his undoing. Dave still shows
traces of the conflict. His face is one
mass of bruises, his right eye is dis
colored and his left ear is somewhat
puffed.

enings I had" said Sullivan, It would
have been the winner instead of the
under dog. I was beaten fairly at that,
although the referee was a bit too
hasty in counting me out. All that
ask is for a return match. winner tC
take all. I will be ready to sign ar
ticles at any time or place"
The receipts of the battle, according
to Sullivan, amounted to little over
$11 900. OF this sum McGovern received
nearly $4,000, while $1,000 went to Sulli-
van.

Clay Center March 6.-Judge Sam
Kimble of Manhattan opened coart
here this week. He has created a
good impression among the attorneys
and jury. This is the first term of
court held in the new court house, and
the judge delivered the following ad-
dress:
Gentlemen of the bar, and citizens
of Clay County; The hour has arrived
room is about to occur. Clay county
has provided, through the intelligence,
enthusiasm and wealth of its cltlZen-
ship, one of the most splendid ediflces
for it's public business to be found WIFI
in the state of Kansas. The opening or
this court room is an event that in fact
is and will be historic. Had the time
permitted after the thought of some
ceremony had occurred to me, it would
have been proper perhaps to nave treat
ed this, the first opening of the district
court, in this building with more cere-
mony than it is possible now; but there
surrounds the event and time some rec
objections and some ideas and senti-
mentS that cause me to express before
the formal opening of court few
words.
by direction of the executive of this
state it has been my good fortune to
have been honored and to be the pre-
siding judge of this district at this
time, 1t becomes my duty and my
district court in this room for the first
time. I recall in doing so that in the
early history of this county my father,
as carpenter, performed the labor on
the first building erected in Clay Cent
er, being the residence known as the
"Huntress home" in the western out
skirts of the city. That was nearly half
a century ago, and it is with some de-
gree of sentiment that 1 today enjoy
the pleasure, as his youngest son, in
acting as the presiding judge, and
opening court in the magnificent build
ing that the citizens of Clay Center have
provided. This court room is to be the
sanctuary, and the shrine, in which the
people of the whole county shall come
to secure justice. Men and women, peo-
pie of all classes, shall expect to come
into this room, standing upon level,
regardless of condition. and here obtain
exact and unflinching justice. The rich
and the poor; the white and the black;
the innocent and those otherwise, shall
all be called into this room where eX-
act justice should be done unto them.
The members of the bar are officers of
this court 1t is expected that they APP
preciate the sanctity that surrounds
this room; that they lend their efforts
to protecting the virtue of all the ideas
that should be embodied here. 1t is to
be hoped that nothing shall ever trans
pire in this particular room of this sac
red edifice, that shall mar it's purity as
a temple of Justice
