Epidemic in the Seminary of st. John
the Baptist in Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, February 14.-Bishop Nc
Donnell of the Brooklyn Catholic diocese
has closed temporarily the Seminary of ST.
John the Baptist, at Lewis avenue and
Hart street, because of an epidemic of grip
and stomach ailments among the forty
seminarians and teachers, and it will not
be reopened until February "a. The cpl
demic had laid up more than half Of the
inmates.
The Rev. John w. Moore, president of
the seminary, was removed to st. Mary
Hospital suffering from an acute attack
Of dysentery. The semnarans have all
been sent to their homes A student, Law
renee P. Doyle, died Sunday at his home,
1892 Union street, after five days illness.
Father Burns, a member of the faculty,
said: 80 many students have been i'll with
grip that it was thought best to close
the college for short time. We have no
hospital accommodations in the college and
it was thought best to have the students

CURT WEIGAND TO
MANAGE YORK TEAM

YORK, Pa. February 14.-William Myers,
secretary of the York Athlete Association.
has announced that Curtis Weigand has ac-
cepted the terms offered him by the asso-
citation to manage the York Tristate team
the coming season. Weigand will also play
second base and act as field captain
The negotiations between the York Off
Gals and the Brooklyn National League
owners concerning the release of We:eand
have been amicably adjusted BROOKLYN Is
willing to sell Weigand to the York club
for $500. with the understanding that they
can buy him back at the close of the 1907
season at the same figure
BROOKLYN claims that Weigand jumped a
reserve in 1903. and the nagnates Of that
ciuo DO not want to give him up outright
Ihe York officials have been in conference
for some time with President Harry Pull
liam of the National League and the
Brooklyn owners in regard to the purchase
OF Weigand. Brooklyn's offer has just been
made public. and it is understood the York
club will close the deal

JEFFRIES WILLING
TO FIGHT AGAIN

LOS ANGELES, February 14-Jm JEFF
fries has decided to come off his high horse
and will accept purse offered for a cham
pionship battle by Tom McCarey of the
Pacific Athletic Club, this city. The big
champions trainer and confidential friend,
Billy Delaney, made the announcement last
night that Jeffries will fight for moderate
purse, and that if his demands are met
will start to get into condition at once.
Just what the giant farmer thinks is mod
crate is not stated, but the announcement
of Delaney brought out the fact that Nc
Carey is willing to put up a prize of $780,,
0G0 for fight between Tommy Burns, pres
ent claimant of the title, and Billy Squires,
the Australian, who is understood to be
on his way to this country at the present
time.
From the hints that are dropped by Nc
Carey it is altogether likely that he has in
view the calling off of the May fight be-
tween Tommy Burns and Jack O'Bren in
order that he may stage fight between
Burns and Squires which he thinks would
be much more of attaction.
McCarey has the OBrien Burns fight on
his hands now, having obtained it when
he offered a purse of $4,000 in order to
beat a club in Rhyolite out of the meeting.
1t is expected now that he realizes that he
has an elephant on his hands and that he
sees little chance of making good with it.

ing destruction in the ranks of the skaters
who are now competing and who are OPP
posed to it's control in the ice sport. The
men who are now skating appear indiffer-
ent about the result. but. as a matter of
fact. it will work them more harm than
good, as it will prevent them from ever
competing in any sport under the control of
the A. A. U. Some of these boys never
some of them are good athletes, and figure
in track and field meets during the sum-
mer season. The plan of the A. A. T. is to
work up an entirely new crop of skaters
who will abide by it's rules and who will
carry off the honors in the legitimate meets.
If the plan Is carried to it's logical finish
the National S. A. will have to go out Of
business.

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ON THE RIVER FRONT

1t has been ten days since sailing YES
sci has been brought into port here in tow
of a tugboat, and fully month since one
came in port under sail. 1t looks just now
as If 1t will be several weeks before the
river Is free of ice and navigation is fully
resumed. The tug Camilla returned from
down the river a week ago, and since that
time no tugs have gone to the oyster
grounds to bring back the vessels that are
loading there for this port. Telephone mes
sages which have been received here from
the masters of oyster-carrying vessels re-
quest that a tug be sent them to tow the
vessels to market. but in consequence of
the heavy ice in the river between Alexan-
dria and Indian Head tugboat masters do
not care about taking chances with tow
OF laden oyster boats through the Ice. AS
soon as there is any chance of bringing
the boats through in safety the tug Ca
milla will go down the river for tow.
The steamers from Norfolk and the ex-
press companies are daily delivering two
or three packages of fresh fish from Florida
and North Carolina waters to the dealers
at the wholesale fish market on 18th street
wharf, and this constitutes practically all
the fresh fish, except cold-storage goods,
that are on the market. In the shipments
of southern fish are a few shad and her
ring, which sell readily and at high prices.
Yesterday Florida shad were sold at 75c.
each for roes and 30c. each for bucks, while
the North Carolina fish brought 81 and 55c.
each.
The Georgetown tug Minerva yesterday
morning went down to Deans boatyard at
Alexandria, and is there being fitted with
her ice-breaking pillow for service on the
river towing barges. The tugs Key and
Capt Toby, which are out of service in
consequence of the ice, are being painted
and made ready to go to work again as
soon as traffic opens on the river. The
tug Rosalie is overhauling at Alexandria.
Schooner Hattie X. is reported at a down.
river point with cargo of 400 bushels of
oysters aboard waiting to come to this city,
schooner Eta is at ST. Georges Island
schooner Mary Hall has completed loading
a cargo of railway ties at Alexandria and
will sail for Boston when conditions allow;
schooner John McGinnis has sailed from
Baltimore for Norfolk with a cargo; tug
NJ M. Davis sailed from Baltimore yester-
day with large vessel in tow for the
capes of the Chesapeake.
The Washington-owned tug William H.
Yerkes, jr., went down Chesapeake bay
schooner William II. Yerkes bound for Bos-
ton. Both tug and schooner bear Washing
ton names, the tug being named after Mr.
William H. Yerkes, ir., of this city and the
schooner after his father, who died few
weeks ago.
A number of the residents of that portion
of the District residing about Shepherds
wharf, opposite Alexandria, are taking ad-
vantage of the thick ice that covers the
side of the river to have daily skating par
ties. Every afternoon the ice is covered
with skaters having good time. The ice
the flats opposite Alexandra, is said to
be about seven inches thick, and is as
smooth as a sheet of glass.

LOCAL SOLDIERS
DEFEATED DANBURY

At Paterson, n. j., the National Guard
basket ball team of this city proved to be
a superior team in every respect to that
of the Danbury Company G quint of Dan
bury, Conn, by defeating them by the
score of 80 to y. About 800 persons were
in attendance to witness the two soldier
teams play and the article of ball furnished
for their benefit was very fast and interest
ing, although the Washington team won
by big margin.
The Danbury soldiers gave the boys from
this city hard rub in the first half, they
being in the lead when time was called
but in the last go the former quint weaken
ed and could not stand the onslaught and
heady playing of their opponents. Rice
and Bopp for the winners put up fine eX-
hibtions, the former having made seven
to his team mates four field goals.
