MIR. MAYO REAPPOINTED
SHERIFF OF CLAY GETS BACK HIS
 OFFICE.
He Failed to File Bond in Time and Other Citizens Sought the Place -Ex0nerated by the
 GOyernOf,

A. D. Mayo was yesterday reap pointed to his old place as Sheriff of Clay County by Governor Cunningham. The Governor became convinced that only through a technicality and ap oversight MT. Mayo had failed to file his new bond for the extended term.
 MT. Mayo, it will be recalled, failed to fle his bond within ten days after the expiration of his term. The Pro- bate Judge of Clay County certified to the Governor that because of Sherin Mayo's failure to comply with the law a vacancy existed in the office of Sher- if. The Governor on receiving the cer- tifcate announced that the vacancy ex- lsted.
 MT. Mayo made immediate applica- ton for reappointment. TWO other citizens of the County also applied to the Governor for the appointment Mr. Mayo contended that his failure to file his new bond was due to a misundeF- standine. A lawyer friend in conver- sation. he said, had told him that 1t would be legal for him to file the bond within fifteen days after the expiration of his old term. Although MT. Mayo had had his bond made out within ten days after the expiration Of his clo term he took his time in filing it, be- Ing under the impression that 1t would he ample time if it ,~as filed in the hf- teen days. As soon as the legal time had expired, however. the certificate as to the vacancy was sent in by the Judge of Probate.
 It has been stated that Sheriff Mayo WAS short in his accounts with the State for the sum of $17S. The snort age was technical and not real. As ststant Examiner of Public Accounts sadherrv reported that MT. Mayo had not entered his feed bill accounts in a book kept at the jail for the special ,urnose and that under the law he had charged the Sheriff with the amounts tbat should have been entered in the

book that ought to have been kept in the jail.
 Governor Cunningham said yesterday that he had investigated the matter and that he was convinced that tho short age was a technical one and not an ac- tual one and that he did not believe that MT. Mayo had taken or misused g. dollar of the States money.
 The statement has also been made that Mir. Mayo had been indicted by the grand jury of Clay County for fail ure to discharge the duties of the of flee. Investigation proved that a friendly indictment for misdemeanor had been found by the grand jury at the request of the Sheriff. This in- dictment was based solely on the fact that the Sheriff had rot kept Q jail book. MT. Mayo contended in view of the finding of the Examiner of Public Accounts that a jail book had never before been kept. and that he followed the example of his predecessors in the conduct of the office.
 While the Governor believed that MT. Mayo might have unwittingly over looked some of the duties of the office he had done nothing criminal for which he should be deprived of his ofice.

MAY OBTAIN MACON
TO PLAY SECOND BASE
President Ruschaupt Announces
that Schaefer Will Not Play
Here.
EXPLAINS HEYDON CASE

Charles F. Ruschaupt, president of the
indianapolis Baseball Club. still has hopes
of obtaining George Magoon to play Sec
ond base for the Hoosiers this year. Mr..
Ruschaupt and w. II. Watkins returned
yesterday from the meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Minor Leagues, held
at Columbus. and the former said he had
deal on with the Chicago club whereby
he hoped to purchase the release of Ma
COON. The indianapolis club is in need
Of a second baseman for the coming sea-
son, as Mr.. Ruschaupt acknowledged that
Schaefer would not play here. Schaefer's
name appeared on the Tacoma, Wash, re-
serve list and he is lost to the Indianapolis
club. Schaefer signed with Tacoma as a.
subterfuge, the contract being provisional
that he could sign with Milwaukee after
freeing himself from the claim Indianapolis
had on his services. Magoon would be a
strong addition to the team and President
Ruschaupt is Offering big inducements to
secure him.
Regarding the Heydon matter, President
Ruschaupt said that the mistake in the
reservation of Heydon was made in the
office of former President Hickey, of the
American Association. The Indianapolis
club sent a list of players under reserve to
Mr.. Hickey on Sept, 8, last year, and a
copy of the original reserve list shows that
the name of NJ E. Heydon appears it.
During the transfer of the names from
Mr.. Hickey's books to Secretary Farrell,
a mistake was evidently made by the
stenographer, and instead of NJ. E. HeydOn
being on the list, N. E. Haddon appeared.
The manager of the Little Rock club
claimed that the indianapolis club made
the mistake Intentionally so as TO prevent
clubs from drafting NJ. E. Heydon. The
board of arbitration realized that the mis-
take must have been made in the office of
T. ]. Hickey and the player was awarded
to Indianapolis.
Mr.. Ruschaupt and Mr.. Watkins believe
that the peace agreement will be ratified
by the committee appointed at Columbus.
They favor the resolutions that were
adopted. especially the one that imposes a
fine on any manager that dckers or tam
pers with player under contract or reser-
walton to another club

SECONDARY DRAFT RULE
HAS BEEN INTERPRETED
Directly Opposite to that for
Which the Class B Leagues
Had Hoped.
RULE ON PLAYER LIMIT

COLUMBUS, o.. Feb. 24.-The National
Board of Arbitration concluded its meet
ing this evening. after giving out in
depreciation of the secondary draft rule
and deciding disputes over a large number
of players.
The Interpretation Of the secondary draft
is directly opposite to that for which the
Class A leagues had hoped. The resolution
adopted provides in brief that all players
drafted by the major leagues from leagues
below Class A standing shall revert back
to their original clubs provided a Glass
A club has not put in a secondary draft
during the regular baseball drafting period.
The Glass A leagues had hoped that Sec
ondary draft made outside the regular
drafting period would hold good
All clubs that are party 10 the national
agreement must cut down TO the prescribed
number of players within one month from
the date of the first championship game.
according to another resolution adopted by
the board. The limit of players is: Glass
A, fourteen; Class B. fourteen; Glass c.
eleven; Class ID, eleven.
Milwaukee and Memphis were contenders
in the principal dispute over players. Milo
Strattons name appeared 1 both Memphis
and Milwaukees reserve list. 1t was shown
that Milwaukee had sold Stratton and two
other players last season TO Memphis for 81.
The board held that the nominal sale was
simply an evasion OF the "anti-farming'
rule and awarded the players to Mem
phis.

denied.

HOW SEWARD USED RUSSIA.


New York Times.
Henry Clews has written a letter to his
friend, the Marquis Ito. congratulating him
Russia, and making reference to the story
circulated In America by the friends of Rms
STA to the effect that the Russian fleet was
sent to New York under sealed orders NJ
the time when it seemed likely that Eng
land and France would recognize the Con-
federacy.
Mr.. Clews says that an effort was being
made by Napoleon III to induce England 10
join him in the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy, and of that Mr. Lincoln and
his Cabinet were thoroughly aware. Mr.
Seward, learning of the presence of the
Russian fleet In South American waters
conceived the idea that its coming TO New
York would give the impression to England
anu france tnat there was an alliance. He
therefore sent a cordial invitation to the
Russians inviting them 10 New York an
invitation which they accepted The effect
intended was produced, and the govern
ment had time to recover after the Bull
Run disaster.

Russians unwittingly assisted the United
