 Has Reached It and the Famous
 Place Must Go.
 Cheyenne, Wyo, Jan 6..-The cele- brated Hole in the Wall will in short time be only remembrance. The Hole has been the refuge of outlaws from Arizona, Utah, Montana, Color- ado, and Wyoming, and was practi- cally inaccessible. It lies i'll the south western part of Johnson county and directly in the line of a county road which is soon to be built.
 The Hole i'll the Wall IS not wide enough to allow the passage of the road, and dynamite will be brought into use to widen the Assure in the red sandstone cliffs. The Hole in the Wall is the only entrance from the south to a beautiful and rich valley and must be used to prevent days detOur.
 Another mark of the passage of the Hole in the Wall is a petition which has been sent in to the postoffice de- partment asking for the establishment of postottice at the Houck ranch, al- most in the mouth of the Hole. The settlement of the country has been rapid since the Hole ceased to be q re- fuge for bandits and there are now enough residents to make postoftice q necessity

SAFE ROBBERS IN MER|DEN.
Merwin Provision Company Los
 es About $40O.
Dynamite Was Used and the Safe and Office Furniture Was Wrecked Rob- bery Supposed to Have Taken Place Yesterday Morning.

1eStefday Morning.
 Meriden, Jan 6.-When the office If the Merwin Provision Co on South Col ony street was opened this morning, it was found that the safe had been blown open and the office wrecked. The safe and the office furniture had been literally blown to pieces. $400 in cash and checks were taken. The police believe that the robbery was committed early Sunday morning. A woman living near the scene recalls having heard the sound of an explosion on Sunday morning, when the 3:52 eN- press south bound rushed by. The building is adjacent to the tracks and it is thought the robbers timed >the explosion to let it off simultaneousl.- with the passing of the train. The fact that the office was not open OH Sunday delayed the discovery of the robbery until this morning.

Terrific Boiler Explosion In Round-
 house at Macon, Ga.
 MACON, Ga, Jan. 3.-The boiler ot locomotive of the Central of Georgia railway exploded at the shops in this city, killing five men outright and in turing twelve others, three of whom will probably die.
 One body is so badly mutilated that it is impossible to tell whether it is of a white man or negro. The heads of two of the victims were blown com pletely off and were found 100 feet from the bodies.
 The explosion wrecked the round house in which the engine was stand ing. A negro was painting, the top of the roundhouse. He was blown 100 yards, his body being reduced to an unrecognizable mass of human flesh. Alderman l.. Willis was passing at the time and was severely injured.
 The concussion broke every window in building at the corner of Poplar and Fifth streets, five blocks from where the explosion occurred.

WITH HE POLO|STS.
The National League Gives Up
 After Losing Money

T. E. Guest Had Made All Arrange
 ments to Take Charge of the Game Here-News Came From Meriden
 That the Team Had Disbanded in
 the Silver City-Canavan and War
 ner Have Left for Portland-Wa-
 terbury Players in Town and May Decide to Give Benefit
 The National league of roller polo is no more Its demise came quietly this afternoon and although it was not expected that the league would last many more days, it was surprising tc know that Meriden. which has made more money than all the other teams put together, was the first to go by the boards. Manager Tom Guest had made all arrangements for the game with Meriden tonight and big crowd was expected, for the new manager has very many friends who purchased tickets to give the game another boost. There would have been at least 300 people down there tonight, but all those who did purchase tickets can get their money back by returning the tickets to the party. from whom the sale was made. This afternoon tele- gram came from Manager Billy Lush to Manager Guest saying that it was all off over in Meriden and the team would not come to Waterbury tonight That settled the league and the polo players of all the teams at once began to skirmish around to get in out of the wet.
 Warner of the Meriden team and Jimmy Canayan of the New Ravens left to-day for Portland, where they will finish out the season. Charley Fitzgerald of the Meridens has gone to Worcester Unfortunately for George Bone, the injury sustained by him the other night will keep him out of the game for the rest of the sea- son. The Waterbury. players will re- main together for q few days and an effort is already on foot to give the boys big benefit here within a week or two
 The league voted yesterday to close on Saturday night, but it was thought probable that it would remain intact longer. Some of the players had big offers waiting for them in the Amerl- can league and they decided to accept, them at once and hence the dissolution of the league.
 It is probable that a few more of the National league players will be round in the American league within few days. Thar will give that league renewed hope, for it looked very shaky few weeks ago.

FIERCE PACE IN BIKE RACE.
But Leaders Still Are Tied-Champion
 Makes New Mile Record.

Boston. Jan 3.-In the six day bi- cycle race here the evening hours wit messed some of the best racing of the week. each of the six leading teams contributing to the excitement. The pace was fierce, but none of the lead CTS was able to score on other than the tailenders. Albert Champion made a new worlds indoor record for the mile, doing the distance in 1.26 2-5, two- fifths of a second better than the pre- vious figure. Stinson rode three miles behind pace in 5.20 4-5, and Michael rode two miles in 3.1 1-5.
 To-day is expected to be the decisive day of the week. the impression being that a strong effort will be made to sever the tie that binds the leaders to- gether. The score at the end of the day, the fortieth hour of the race, was as follows:

BASEBALL BREEzES.
Reports From the Freedman Camp
 Are Disqualified.

Are D1SQuallIleQ.
 A statement. evidently having US source in the Freedman camp, was GIT culated among base ball men yester- day that the recent temporary inJunc- ton restraining A. G. Spalding from acting as president of the National league until tue legality of his election had been tested in the courts, had been made permanent by Justice Scott on December 20 last and that the matter would not again come up for discus sion. Just who was responsible for the statement could not be learned, but that it was made upon the authority of man close to the New York mag nate there was little room for doubt. On the face of it the assertion may be put down as another bluff to frighten, if possible, the four league clubs which are ready to stick to Spalding to the end of this controversy. Alfred ". Riddle. who is Spalding's attorney, when asked about the yarn, ridiculed it. He stated that his positive orders from .Spalding were to fight the case to decisive finish and that all hands were to, get all the law they wanted. One of Spalding's business associates,
 
 'There is no such word as permanent in the English language that Is applica- ble to the present injunction. It is only temporary injunction pending the trial of the suit. Spaldings law yer never intended to abandon the suit and is going to force 1t to q trial as fast as it is possible considering the number of parties to the case, all of whom are foreign corporations The suit has got to take it's regular course The other four defendants, corpora tions, who have not been served have right to come in at any time and in- tervene and defend. As manifest evidence that they do not intend to give up the case, Spalding's lawyer has already made motion and served the papers on the Freedman party for se- curity for costs, which motion comes up on Monday. After that motion they have not decided what the next move will be. It will depend upon whether they file the security and the decision of the judge Perhaps by this time next week the Freedmanites will realize they have big fight on their hands and plenty of lawyers bills to pay, if they do not realize 1t now" In other words Spalding has only just begun the fight to exterminate the evils which have crept into base ball until the sport is dragged in the mire It looks as if the Freedmanites were be- ginning to see their mistake in taking the affairs of the league into the courts instead of falling in line behind the, Spalding band wagon. Spalding be- lieves that his opponents have played directly into his hands and 1t certain ly begins to look that way. Mean while the fact should not be lost sight of that the league cannot hold meet. ing.

DELANEY,s NEW oFFER

In order that there may be no ob- stacle in the way of bringing Jim Jef- fries and Bob Fitzsimmons together Billy Delaney, the champions mana ger and trainer, yesterday made new proposition. He says that he will withdraw the offer made by Jeffries and himself that if a contest was ar ranged between the two big men Fitz- simmons would have to make a side bet of from $25,0O0 to $50,O0O.
 When l made that offer of large side bet I meant it." Delaney said. -.but as long as Bob objects I won't let this stand in the way of clinehing things. thought that Fitzsimmons would jump at the offer; that's the rea- son I made it. But I have another proposition ito make to the former champion. If the amount which I suggested as a side bet is too much. I will cut it down to $1O.OOO. I don't think that the Cornishman will exper- fence any difficulty in securing back ing for that sum. But we are ready to do business winner take all
 "Of course, in my original offer, I agreed that Jeffries must knock out Fitz inside of twenty rounds-that Is, -Jeffries was ready to undertake to stop him in that number of rounds and stick to 1t. hope that Fitz will get down to business and make a match and let all this talk cease.'
