CHRIS WON DER ABE
 A VOLUNTARY BANKRUPT

St. Louis, Feb. s.--A petition in in- voluntary bankruptcy was fled today by Chris Won Der Ahe, for many years a principal figure in the base ball world and owner of the St. Louis American Association team from its or ganization in 1876 until his retirement in 1898. According to the petition he alleges he has but S200 assets to onset $27,S65.35 liabilities. Many Of his largest debts are notes for money bor- rowed for the support of the team he owned. In his day he was one of the most prominently known baseball mag mates in the country and was reputed to have been worth a quarter of a million dollars. His property Is now reduced, according to the petition. to $50 worth of wearing apparel, watch and chain worth $50 and a share Of stock in an investment company val ued at $100. It Is stated he lost his wealth through amusement invest. ments that did not prosper, loans and the lavish habit of indorsing checks and signing bonds. He has just re- covered from a serious attack of pneu% monia.

AUBURN Is NEXT
LOCALS DUA TO PLAY HER FAST
 TEAM.
Msntsemery's Basket Ball Crowd Be- Ifeves That Memory Of Defeat By Auburn VIII Be Wiped
 Ont.

The Auburn basket ball team will make it's first appearance in Montgom- cry Thursday night when it will tackle the crack team of the local r. N. c. A. Auburn claims to have the fastest team in the South and led by B. L. Ware. is capable of making any other team hustle.
 The game Thursday will be the most interesting one of the season for the locals, and as Auburn has already scored one victory over the local team it is up to them to get even. and the hottest kind of game is promised.
 With T. c. Locke. a Montgomery boy. who starred as a member of Auburn's football team, at one of the guards and with Ware at center, plen- ty of basket ball Is promised for Thursday night. The Montgomery team plays clean game. probably the cleanest of any team in the South, but is capable of taking care of itself under any circumstances.
 The Mobile team which has ques- tioned the right of any other team to whisper in reference to the cham pionship of the State is going to get an opportunity to show it's speed against the Montgomery team. provid- ing the two teams can agree on terms. Montgomery plans game in Mobile and one in Montgomery dur ing the month of February.
 The game with the Birmingham Attn letic Club seems to be off, as the Bir- mingham management does not relish the idea of playing a game on the Auburn floor. insisting that 1t would be too expensive for them to contem- plate any such trip.

CONGRESS
sumnnrY os House.

vashinrton. Feb. 3.--Three of the gt.nfs of fine House of Representatives had their innings today. Technicaay the Indian appropriation bill was un1er discussion, but explanation was Iele gated to the background while natiohai politics occupied the stage.
 Before the political question cropped .,,it the House with next to the largest attendance of the present session, With hut one dissenting voice. passed gem s.ral widows pension bill granting nat pension of SIP month to the widows of all honorably discharged soldiers or rha United States, who have heretofore recsived the benefits of the pension law and an increase of $4 month for those who have been drawing $S under the act of June 27, 1890. The bill involves the expenditure of more than xl2.OOO,- 900 annually. The political debate was opened by Mir. Townsend of Michigan. who in appropriate speech. claimed for the Republican party the credit for all national legislation in the last fifty years of vital interest to the public. In this he was vigorously disputed by MT. Cochran of New York, who afterward launched into Q discussion of the Pres tdent's message, of a few days ago, his remarks frequently evoking applause on both sides of the chamber. The Presidents utterances in that docu- M0ubs no o6CAGAS0s WSAO SoSh 1A1t neither party could ignore for he had named the conditions for which both must contend.
 Mir. Hepburn also defined the Presi- dents message andf said that condem- nation of 1t had come only from the great malefactors of the age, ''and the gentleman from Ohio" meaning Sena- tor Foraker. While the debate was on almost every seat on the floor and in the galleries was occupied.

The Governor declared that the question of race track gambling was not a matter for the churches or for any particular sect of social reformers, but whether the Constitution Of the State of New York shall be enforced. . He said that much had been heard about improving the breed of horses. which he was in favor of, but that he was also in favor of improving the breed of men.
 Joseph H. Choate presided over the meeting which was largely attended by representative citizens.
 A resolution strongly supporting Governor Hughes's position and re- questing the legislative committees to report on their bills already drawn to end race track gambling was passed.

.chicago, Feb. 8. os. -.rhe Advertiser:
 Have traded Hausen for Pitcher Bliss. of Grand Rapids.
 For some time Ryan has been work ing on this trade and the above tele- gram shows that he has at last put It throuEh--and good days work 1t IS at that. f
 Bill Hausen---one of the best catch CTS that ever came to Dixie Land for some reason got sore last summer and stated positively that he would never come back to Montgomery.
 For the last two years he has been invaluable to the Montgomery team. and Ryan was anxious to get him back to steady the young pitchers this sum mer. The manager realized. however. that if Uncle Bill'' did not want to come back that to force him would not get the best work out of him. So he started negotiations some months ago with the Grand Rapids club of the cen tral League. the same league that DICK Merrymau came from.
 Bliss, one of the star pitchers Of the Grand Rapids team, was the man that Ryan went after. and he never let up until he landed him yesterday. That ns has landed a No. man Is shown oy
