WITH THE WRESTLERS
Charley Wittmar Is Training on
 Farm.

T
 Otto Shieler of the Brooklyn Turn Verein was John Piening's opponent at the Star theater, Brooklyn, last night, and the struggle between the two was keen and exciting. Piening had fif- teen minutes in which to throw ShieIer at Graeco-Roman style, and, although he succeeded, the issue was in doubt throughout. Shieler, who is com pactly built youth, took the initiative, much to the surprise of the spectators. A tussle lasting about a half minute ensued before Shieler went to the mat Once in this position, Fleming got on top and applied all the holds known to the game. Shfeler had a clever knack of rolling to, one side, and in this way he succeeded in evading Pien- ing's speciality, the hammer lock Pien- ing was perspiring freely at the sey- enth minute, and it looked as if Shiel- CT would last. He got away from a full Nelson which would have defeated any ordinary man. But his efforts tired him and when Fleming secured a spread and bar' Shieler's shoulders touched the mat. He said the fall was unfair and Piening gave him an- other chance. The Butcher Bow threw him in less than two minutes. The time for the bout was 10 minutes and seconds. Wilhelm Miller of Jersey City had a shy at the champion in the afternoon. Miller had only strength in his favor, but this did not avail him any, for he was thrown in 6 minutes.

 The City league will hold an import ant meeting Monday night and make all arrangements for the wind-up of the season.
 A new infelder has been added to the Cincinnati baseball team. He is Clarence Huggins, who has been play ing second base for the St Paul team of the American association.
 chesbro leads the National league pitchers, having taken 26 out of B games this season. Waddell, of the American has pitched in 30 games, winning 27, while Young has won 31, lost II and tied 1.
 The winner of the pennant in the City league will not be very likely to play the all-professiona1 team cap fained by Joe Connor The teams in the league believe they have worked pretty hard this season and they want a rest.
 If the weather is favorable to-mor- row afternoon there will be at least fen thousand people down on the Riy- erside park to witness the ball game between the Brooklyn Athletic club and the Pastime Athletic club. That game may decide the championship and it may not, but it will be a great battle between the two leaders.
 The most important baseball game of the season in the City Amateur league will be played at Riverside

DINEEN STILL HEADING.
Striking Miner Metkus Making Fine

Striking Miner Metkus Making Fine Showing and is Second in Race.
 Pat Dineen still leads in the six-day go-as-you-please race at Palace hall, Grand street, Brooklyn. The pace is extremely hot and the result is doubt ful. Metkus, the second man ill the race, is making wonderful showing. Metkus, who is one of the striking miners from Shenandoah, has not had much experience in affairs of this kind and his performance is all the more noteworthy. Deane, the negro, is do- ing well, and his friends expect him to get third place.
 Shelton, the Cuban, who was in jured in collision on Thursday night, was up and doing yesterday. He still limps, but says he feels all right. Cav anaugh made big squirt yesterday and gained on his competitors. He is many miles below his usual average, however.
 Peter Golden and Peter Hegelman ran five mile exhibition race last night. Golden turned the tables on his man and won in 2S minutes. The score at midnight:
 Dineen, 305, 13 laps; Metkus, BOP, IS laps; Tracey, 300, laps; Cavanaugh, 296, l3 laps; Shelton, 2S6, ? laps; Fra ger, 2S3, ' laps; Deane, 271, 14 laps; Captain McEnroe, 255 8 laps.

WORKS ARMY'S RUIN
Funston Says the Anticanteen
 Law Increases Crime.
TRIALS BY COURT MARTIAL DOUBLED
Recent Legis1ation Has Lowered Dis cipIine, Wrecked Scores of Good Soldiers and Filled Saloon
 keenerss Pockets.


 WASHINGTON. Sept. -Brigadier General Frederick Funston in his an- nual report for the department of the Colorado points out that the percentage of trials by court martial of enlisted men has nearly doubled during the past year He says:
 Ut is therefore plain that there has been a deplorable increase of offenses in general and of desertion in particu- lar. In my opinion there are two prin- cipa1 causes for this state of affairs first, resentment of unaccustomed lim- itations and restrictions felt by men returning from field service to the monoto1hy and routine work of garrison life, ard, second the abolition of the canteen feature of the post exchange. Since this action was taken saloons of the lowest type have been established just outside the boundaries of the vari- ous reservations. Their proprietors are in almost every case unprincipled scoalndrels, who leave nothing undone to debauch the soldiers and obtain tn cir money. Being in all cases outside tfle limits of any city, the proprietors of these resorts are subject to no municipal police regulations and sell liquor regardless of hours and whether the buyer is already intoxicated rsnot. Gambling is universal in these dives and they are frequented by dissolute women.
 sThe soldier whose desire for drink would ordinarily be satisfied by few glasses of beer in the canteen of the post exchange goes to one of these re- sorts and does we'll if he escapes be- fore he has spent or gambled away all his money, oyerstayed his leave or en- gagged in an altercation. As rule the local authorities regard the existence of these places with indifference or ap- proval, as it causes the soldier to spend his money in the community. The efficiency of the army or the ruin of a good soldier is nothing to them, There can be no reasonable doubt that most of the trials by general court martial and summary courts, at least so far as this department is concerned, are di- rectly traceable to this cause.
 Since I have had command here there has taken place the ruin and degradation of several noncommission- ed officers of long service and fine rec ord. Tn short, the recent legislation by congress on this question, so far as this department is concerned, has had no effect except to lower the discipline of the army, ruin scores of good soldiers and fill the pockets of a lot of saloon keepers, gamblers and prostitutes"

Pardon For DinkeIIa.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2T.-The pres ident has granted a full and uncondi- fional pardon to William Dinkella, convicted in 1880 before a United States consular court in Japan of the murder of Charles H. Abbott, the first mate of the American ship Centennial, while lying in Hiogo harbor, the pris- oner being the second mate of the ship. Dinkella has been in prison for more than twenty-two years, two years in Japan and over twenty years in the Albany (N. Y.) penitentiary. He al- ways has insisted that the crime was committed in the heat of passion and when he believed his own life was in jeopardy, the testimony showing that the murdered man had beaten and choked the prisoner almost into insen- sibility, when the prisoner secured his pistol and shot Abbott dead.

STRIKE REGION QUIET
Presence of Troops Seems to Have
 Good Effect.

Presence of Troops Seems to Have
 Good Effect.
 PHILADELPHIA,S Sept. 27-Noc dis turbances of moment have occurred in the strike region during the past twen- ty-four hours. There was small riot at Centralia, in the southern end of Columbia county, where some strikers attacked nonunion men who were on their way to the mines, and Sheriff Knorr asked Governor Stone to send troops to queH the disturbance Thus far no troops have been sent.
 In the Laekawanna and Wyoming regions universal quiet prevails, and the soldiers are not called upon to SUD- press any disorder, while at Forest City, Susquehanna county, the extreme northern end of the anthracite coal belt, the presence of the soldiers has had the effect of awing the rioters.
 At Lebanon, where the employees of the American Iron and Steel company have been fighting against the importa- tion of colored laborers, there is tenn porary truce, with likelihood that all differences will be settled and the men shortly return to work.

BASE BALL NEWS.
Senator Tim Sullivan May Back New
 York American Team.


 Chicago. Sept 27.-B. B. Johnson, presidsnt of the American league, re turned from his more or less mysteri- ous eastern trip yesterday, and prompt ly stamped the story of James Kenne- dy being mixed up in the scheme of placing a club in New York as a fake. Johnson says he has not met Kennedy in years, and insists that the latter has nothing to do with the much talked about New York deal. Following the report that Jim Kennedy is to manage the American league club in New York next year comes one that Tim Sullivan is to furnish the backing for the club. This is the first time that Big Tins" name has been connected with base ball. Last winter it was reported that he would be behind an American league club in New York.
 Bill Lange is said to have told Me Graw he would play ball for him next year for $10,000 year. A mere bag atelle of salary these days since players have gone up higher than coal.
 Bill Dahlen is to jump to the Detroit team and Sammy Strang is to play third base for Brooklyn next season. That is a good shift all around-for Detroit.
 Barney DreyfuSs, president of the Pittsburg club, yesterday announced that all arrangements for the post-sea- son series between his champions and a picked team of American league players have been completed. The team the Pirates will put in the field will be composed of Smith and Phelps catchers; Leever, Doheny and Philippi pitchers; Bransfeld, first base; Ritch- ey, second base; Wagner, shortstop; Leach, third base; Clarke, left field; Beaumont, center field; Sebring, right field It will be noticed that both Chesbro and Tannehill are missing from this team. The American league team will be composed of Sullivan and Mcfarland, catchers; Young, Waddell. Bernhard and Mercer, pitchers; Harry Davis, first base; Lajoie, Collins, sec Dnd base; NJ. Cross shortstop; Bradley. third base; Hartsel, left field; Jones, center field. and FuItz, right field. The series of seven games will be played under the rules of the National league. The schedule is as follows: October z and z, in Pittsburg; 9 and 10, in Cleveland; Il and 12, in Detroit; 13, in. Chicago. Pittsburg's portion of the receipts will be distributed among the players. Collins will cover second base for the American league team in the games in Pittsburg only, as Lajoie cannot play in Pennsylvania,

TRADE Gstf.LSlflUNS.

 Unah ated.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-R. G. Dfun & Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Notwithstanding the disarrange Hmon- ey market, almost a fuel familae and some damage to crops, industr ial and commercial activity continues unabat- ed, and the magnitude of plans for the future indicates that confidt snce has not been shaken. Scarcity of funds has thus far caused no har6 lships ex- cept to specuIators, and the fgtringency will remedy itself by contra. rting loans on Stock Exchange collaterf Il, together with such aid as may be of cred by the treasury, which is partly responsible through absorption of fur sds. Injury to crops by frost has no m ore than off set the increased acreage, while high prices fully compensate roducers It is not time for pessimi sm, although securities have declined harply. Pressure in the iron ar Id steel indus try has been somewhat alleviated by larger receipts of coke md liberal i'm ports of pig iron, yet tn outlook is by no means devoid of u nfayorable fea- tures
 OWlng To the hume TOuS influences now in evidence there is less disposi- tion to place large contracts for dis tant delivery of pig ir on, and sales are chiefly of small lots Foreign iron is freely received, ard other consign- ments are under C consideration More steel rail orders have been placed abroad. Needs foe structural shapes are increasing, n7 ach work being held back by slow sl dpments, and orders are reported for delivery nearly two years hence.
 Another corr Ter was effected in wheat, and eJrn is still stubbornly strong for spo t and the early options owing to light supplies. Receipts for the week were only 2,549, 1858 bushels against 3,1o7s,9o0 last year, while At lantic coast exports were 32, ,19S bush els against E2S,O2o bushels a year ago. which was much below normal.
 The decline in meats has received check. an6t sugar is firmly held, with refners behind in delivery.

 Grand Jury.


 Grand Jury.
 ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.--Latest devel-. opments fn the poodle investigation are sensational, subpGnas duces tecum having been issued at the instance of Circuit Attorney Folk commanding Broker James c. Campbell and Will liam Reed, his cashier, to appear in. court with two checks aggregating SAT, 800, dated Nov. 2S, 1899, and paya- ble to Ed Butler, q prominent local pol itician, and to explain the purpose for which the checks were drawn. It was found on investigation by the grand jury that both checks had been cashed and returned to Broker Campbell. The date of these checks was the same as the day on which the ten year lighting bill passed the house of delegates. for which nineteen members are said to have received $2,5O0 each for their votes. Up to a late hour deputy sher- ifs were unable to serve the subpHnas. At Broker Campbelps office it was stated that Reed had not been there since Thursday and that his employer was in the east.

An ad- ditional effort to secure the release on Wr'its of habeas corpus of the four members of the house of delegates who are now in jail awaiting trial on charges of bribery and perjury failed. Judge Valiant of the supreme court, before whom this petition was taken, denied the application, declaring he had no Jurisdiction

Local Sportsmen Preparing for Octo-

 The local Sportsmen are busi1y en- gagged now in cleaning up their hunt ing apparatus in readiness for the opening of the hunting season on We'd nesday next Reports from all sec tions of Connecticut indicate a great plenty of game of all kinds and sucl cessful season is looked for. Quail and partridge have been noticed in large numbers all summer and they do not appear to be confined to any one locality The large crop of nuts will insure plenty of gray Squirrels and hunters are confident of finding this game in large numbers.
 The law prescribes the closed seas son for gray squirrels, quail, partridge and WOodcock from December 1 to Sept,em- Der 30, and for rabbits from Jan uary 1 to September 30, thus allowing a month longer to shoot the last named game. The fines imposed for violation of the game laws under the acts passed in 1901 make their violation yer y cost Iy

ANCIENT
 TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
 in Modern Times.

An ancient method of poisoning criminals was to force them to swal- low quantities of bulls blood. Bulls blood is really no poison at all. Yet the prisoner usually died in agony, caused by the coagulation or harden ing of the bulls blood in the stoIn- ach. The pressure of this solid mass on the vital organs almost always re- suited fatally.
 That's like indigestion. If your food doesn't digest it remains in hard lump in the stomach. Gases form which crowd other organs. Many cases of supposed heart disease are due to indigestion.
 This trouble is removed by the use of such preparation as KodOI Dys- pepsia Cure, wdich gives the stomach perfect rest by digesting what you eat without the stomach's aid. The food builds up the body. The rest restores the stomach to health. You don't have to diet.
 During the last few years my stom- ach was in such condition that I couldn't retain the food | ate, J writes Henry Williams of Boonville, Mo. "Two months ago commenced taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. A few bottles have cured me entirely I can now eat and enjoy anything I want.'

park tomorrow afternoon, when the Brooklyn A. c. and the .Pastime A. O.. will cross bats. IT the latter team wins, it will be tied with the Brook lyn A. c. for first place and the tie will have to be played off. If the B. A. c. wins, it has the championship and the beautiful $1O0 trophy. Both teams will probably be strengthened for the occasion and an interesting and rather exciting game will be the result If the weather is good, the largest crowd of the season will no doubt witness the game as much in- terest is manifested by the public in the outcome.

Paris Police Are Said To Be Watching
 Jockeys and Their Friends.

Paris, Sept 27.-Le Soir last evening says the police of Paris have been watching for some time the doings of several prominent American jockeys and their friends, who met nightly in a certain place where card playing for high stakes was indulged in and where victims are said to have been plucked.
 Thursday, according to Le Soir, the police made six arrests, and their pris- oners included noted jockey, a race horse owner and a bookmaker. Four of the prisoners were released yester- day, but the examining magistrate told them to hold themselves at his disposition. The magistrate has sum- moned several American jockeys for examination to-day.
