Ex-Wardman of New York COnfesaes
 BIaokmail Collections.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 16--Assistant Dis trict Attorney Morgan is authority for the statement that George Bissert, ex- man, and once plain clothes man un- der Police Captain Herlihy, has told both his counsel and District Attorney Jerome all he knows about the collect ing of blackmail in the department and also has told "where-the money went"
 The once convicted wardman's con- fession, MT. Morgan asserts, was not brought about through any promise of clemency on the part of the district at- torney, but because he felt he had been sacrificed by his confederates in the de- partment.
 Bissert, Mir. Morgan says, will prob ably throw himself upon the mercy of the court when his second trial comes on, and the service he has been to the state, it is said, will doubtless entitle him to some degree of clemency.
 After his conviction on the charge of accepting bribe from the keeper of n disorderly house, he was sentenced in . M 1901 by Recorder Golf to five years and six months in, the penitentiary and to pay fine of $1,00o, in addition. He served about year in Sing Sing, dur ing which time it is said his life was made miserable because of the persecu- tions of other prisoners. He then was released by a~decision of the appellate division of the supreme court, which granted him new trial When the case was called a few months ago, he failed to appear, and his bond of. $5sO0O was forfeited
 A week ago-having, 1t appears. re- turned from South America-he surren- dered himself, and, at the suggestion of representative of the district attor- ney's office, his bail was continued in the sum of $500O.

BASEBALL NEWS.
Philadelphia Club Sold to Pittsburg
 pannTn

Ithaca, N. sY., Jan 16.-HugheyaJen en- nings, one of the greatest base bah players that ever wore uniform, yes- terday announced his permanent retire ment from professional base ball. Jen- nings's throwing arm has caused him much trouble for some years, and he never could recover the free use of 1t. In his day he was regarded as the greatest shortstop in the country. While with Hanlon's S Baltimores, whom he helped to win the National league pennant three times, his work was lit tie short of marvellous jennings went to Brookl yn.with Han1on when the Ori- Oles were transferred to that city in 1899, and twice assisted Brooklyn to capture the flag. In 1901 and 1902 he explained and played first base for the Philadelphia National league team. Jennings will coach the Cornell base ball team this season. He now is 8 junior in the Cornell law school, and will begin to practice as soon as he is graduated.
 Philadelphia, Jan 16-Barney Drey- fuss, president of the Pittsburg club, has obtained an option on the Philadel- phia National league club, and the in- dications are that before the week is over the club will pass into the hands of the syndicate he represents. Rapid progress was made yesterday in the negotiations MT Dreyfuss had con- ference with Colonel Rogers, who fixed his figure, and Dreyruss said that it was satisfactory to him. Final ac- tion now rests with the capitalists as sociated with the Pittsburg magnate. Clarence Wolf, local stock broker, vir. tually admitted that he IS to finance the deal. When seen ne said: At present can neither confirm nor deny the story. You may say, however, that MT Dreyfuss is my personal friend and that what he says goes with me-" As Dreyfuss specifically mentioned Wolf in his interview on Wednesday there can be no reasonable doubt that the broker will be one of the clubs new owners. Neither Dreyfuss nor Rogers would divu1ge the price set upon the club nor the manner of the transfer. It was learned, however, from an in- side source that the shares of all the stockholders and the National league franchise are valued at $19O,OOO. Of this sum $7O,00O must be available at once in cash, of which $20,OO0 will be used in signing new players, paying advance money and covering training expenses on the spring trip. The re- mainfng $5O,000 is to be employed in paying outstanding obligations, so that there may be no cloud on the title when the transfer of the club is made. For the remaining $12O,OO Rogers will ac- cept negotiable paper. It is expected that official ann nounce1nent of the sale will be made today Albert T. Reach. who, with Colonel Rogers owns the controlling interest in the club, is said to be membero of the new syndicate.

Kansas City, Jan 15.-Tommy Ryan the middlewefght champion, knocked out Billy Stiff of Chicago in the fourth round of ten-round bout at the Della ware club last night. Ryan fought without his usual caution, trying for a knockout from the start. In the first round he sent Stiff down with right on the jaw, Stiff taking the count. Ryan followed with right to the kid neys and Stiff went to his corner in distress.
 Stiff came up strong for the second round, however, and made fair showing in standing off Ryan's whirl- wind rushes. In the third Stiff hug ged Ryan to gain time. At the be- ginning of the fourth round Stift was rushed to the floor and rested nine seconds. As he arose Ryan like a flash whipped his right to the jaw, putting Stiff out.
