DIES A JAIL BIRD
College Graduate and Army
Officer Arrested i'm Phil
adelphia Is Dead.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 27.-Ar-
thur B. Jack, a college graduate and
the hero of three wars, who was con-
victed in this city last September Of
obtaining money by false pretenses,
died yesterday in Moyamensing prison.
information regarding his death reach
ed the detective bureau yesterday aft
ernoon, and although no investigation
of the case has yet been made by the
coroner, it is said that he was a victim
Of uraemia.
Only twenty-fiy years old, Jack had
a remarkable career and was consid-
cred by the detectives of the city hall
force to be one of the most extraordin-
airy prisoners they ever had in their
custody Bright and clever, he was a
smooth and interesting talker, with a
knowledge of the world which was re-
markable for one of his years.
EnIists in Cuban Army.
Jack graduated from Western col
lege while the Cubans were fighting
Spain, and, according to the story told
after his arrest in this city, he imme-
diately went to Cuba and enlisted in
the revolutionary army as a lieutenant.
For meritoriOus conduct he was pro-
NOTED several times and was on the
STAN OF Gen. Carlo RoelOf when the
United States declared war against
Spain. He afterward enlisted as a
snort term volunteer in the United
states army, and when the Spanish
American war closed had q minor po-
slt1on on the staff of Gen. Shafter. He
was honorably discharged and went to
South Africa. There he fought with
FACETS horse, volunteer English reg
lment, during the Boer war.
After the close of the latter conflict
Jack came to this city and last August
became involved in the trouble which
hnaHy landed him behind prison bars.
While in this city he met A. A. Jack

wealthy. He also showed an inclina-
tloh 70 engage in some business.
Took Jackson's Money.
jackson hadpconsiderable money and
agreed to form a partnership and open
mill for the manufacture of carpets.
Under the pretense that he desired to
go to Cleveland to- draw money from
bank Jack secured -$435 from Jackson.
The latter waited patiently for the re-
turn Of his business partner, and when
ne failed to put in an appearance jack
son complained to the police. After he
was brought back to this city 1T be-
came known that2while Jack was going
west on train he met a woman and
that they spent all of the $435 in Chi
cago. ~
Jack was tried before Judge Nc
Michael last September and received
the full penalty of the law = three
years imprisonment and $500 fine. His
counsel, j. M. Dallaman, made a futile
plea for mercy for his client. 1t is said
that While Jack was in prison he sue

MINISTER DECLARES
FOR FOOTBALL GAME
In Favor of Sport, sprained Ankles and
All the Rest.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 81. IT
would rather have student killed occa-
sionally in game of football than have
all the boys rot to death in college," This
was the utterance of the Rev Simon John
Mcpherson. head master of the Lawrence
vile On. j. school, in an address on
The Education of the Future in It's Bear
ing Upon the Ministry and the Church.,
delivered before the Presbyterian Social
union in this city tonight.
Most men don't want their sons to be
ministers" said DR.. Mcpherson, '@for two
reasons: First, because there is not any
money in it, and secondly because many
educated young men are afraid of the
ministry as a cramped Intellectual sphere.
1.-THE education of the future will take
cognizance of the whole man. He must
develop physically, spiritually and intel
lectually. l don't believe in those per
sons who decry football. Such talk is
all bosh l am in favor of football with
all my heart, even if there are broken
legs, Sprained ankles and bumped heads"

ROGERS SURE TO
SELL FRANCHISE
ALI Arrangements for Phil
adelphia Transfer
Closed.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 27.-Be-
fore three or four days have passed
Col John l. Rogers will not have con-
troll of the Philadelphia, club of the
National league, everything now being
in shape for the transfer of the team
to Barney Dreyfuss and a syndicate CT
Philadelphians and financial men of
other cities. The transfer of the club
would have been accomplished week
ago, but when things were ripe for the
deal to be made John t. Brush sprung
the injunction joker. Then the deal
was called off and the option on the
club was extended until after the meet
ing of the National league magnates
al Cincinnati.
Before leaving this city for that
meeting Mr.. Dreyfuss said he would
return after the meeting and take up
the negotiations for the purchase of
the club where they were left off. This
was providing that a peace agreement
was reached at Cincinnati. The in
tended purchasers were unwilling to
take the club on war footing. Unless
the two leagues would hit upon a sat
isfactory peace agreement they did not
care to invest their coin in baseball.
Col. Rogers feels quite satisfied with
the way things shaped themselves at
the Cincinnati meeting. when Mr..
Dreyfuss left the city everything had
been framed in such a way that the
sale of the club was very probable -
said Col. Rogers today. There are a
few details yet to be considered, but
have no doubt that they will be easily
adjusted to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.
Mr.. Roach came in to see me this
morning. Like myself, he is willing to
sell the club if the terms offered are to
our liking. If the present parties who
are dickering for the club do not buy it
we will run the club with a better
team than last year and with, hope,
a little better luck"

Bisbee daily review., 1903-07-24
THE GAS FRANCHISE.

The city council at it's next meeting will be presented with a request for a gas franchise covering the city of Bisbee. The new company is to be g local concern. and is headed by M. J. Donohue, of the firm of NJ. J. Donohue & Co, merchandise brokers.
 Judging from the expressions from two members of the city council, the request for gas franchise will re- ceive careful consideration, with a leaning towards the granting of the same.
 This is the third request from the city for a franchise, which in the end has come to naught. The first was the Bisbee West company, asking for a water franchises which was granted, but the conditions of the franchise were never fulfilled, and the franchise was forfeited. Next came Tucson company seeking a sewer franchise, which up to date has not been granted. Later there was an application for street railway privilege, which is still hanging fire, and now comes the re- quest for gas franchise
 In the event that the city had granted all of the requests for fran chises, without some remuneration, we believe a serious mistake would have been made. Franchises and special privileges, still vested in the city, become its most valuable assets. These assets of the city should not be bestowed with lavish hand, without remuneration.
 Bisbee is daily growing in i'm portance as commercial center Its population is rapidly increasing. and a franchise today of seeming small value will hc..onc a valuable asset in the future. Ln1--ise the expense of a well regulated city government will increase, and the council should insist that the holders of valuable fran chises should help support the city from which it derives it's revenue. Once given away, these franchises cannot be recalled. Think twice, MT, ] Alderman. before you act,
