Harry Davis. the new manager of the Cleveland club. has been in con- ference with President Somers Davis plans to take his, team to New Or leans on March 10. He says that he will adopt the Mack system of deyel- oping his men slowly, and he plans to have a squad of about thirty men when the Southern training trip be- gins.
 Fred Clarke, the manager of the Pirates, will follow his usual custom of attending the annual meeting of the National League. Tn this way Clarke will be able to look over any deals that are offered and also to ar range the terms of his next contract with Barney Dreyfuss. President Dreyfuss says that he does not in- tend to take an active part in the league meeting unless some ma tier of importance comes up. q will spend most of my time conversing with the minor leaguers," he remarks ''and if I am needed the meeting can send for me. I don't care to sit around and listen to speeches hours in length delivered by Murphy and Ebbets."

 AS our rural correspondent would say, news was scarce in the sporting world the past week. The announce ment of Walter Camps All-American eleven was about the only thing that caused a ripple on the surface. The Yale expert was criticised consider ably because he picked, out Il Eastern players and called it an Al1-American team. Some Western critics claim Camp evidently didn't know that some pretty good football was played the other side of Buffalo. Camp probably from teams he had witnessed in ac- tion than to select long distance elevens the way other writers did.
 The Connecticut league fans were interested in the report that How ond for Holyoke, will join Hartford next season. Baker was purchased from Louisville of the American as- sociation.
 It has also been announced that R.. c. Ashbaugh of Youngstown, O., has been elected captain of the Brown University football team. Ashbaugh has played end for three years and is regarded as one of the best in the game.
 The fact that Secretary Bill Gray of the New York Giants was dis charged on the eve of the worlds ser ies ticket investigation gives color to the rumor that the New York club was in league with the speculators. The Giants will very conveniently shift the blame on the former secre- tary and the fans who support the team will be given another solar plex- us blow. Gray's successor is Joseph D. O'Brien, formerly president of the American association.

ELECTRGCUTED IN MlD-AlR.

The body OF Holland Kichline., "a
years old, OF New York, was found
early yesterday morning stl etched
across the lines of electric light wires
10 feet from the ground at Van Brunt
and Reid streets, Brooklyn. He had
been electrocuted and sparks almost
completely enveloped the body.
The electric lights for several blocks
around the corner went out about IL
o'clock, and residents in the district
telephoned complaints to the Edison
Company. Two linemen sent out to
find the trouble had searched for some
hours before the sparks attracted them
to the place where Kichline had met
bis death.
He was an inspector who had been
sent out some hours earlier to make
repairs. Apparently he had been killed
by shock and fallen on the wires,
causing short circuit that put out the
lights in the neighborhood. He wore
buckskin gloves instead of the usual
rubber ones, and is supposed to hare
taken hold of a wire from which the
insulation was stripped.
A policeman sent for an ambulance
and the Edison Company's wrecking
crew took down the body. A physician
said the man had been dead at least
two hours. The body was frozen stiff.

TWELVE MEN sUFEoCATED.

Trapped like rats, twelve workmen,
all colored, were suffocated to death
at Newark, n. j., late yesterday in
a caisson in tho PasSaic river The
victims constituted night shift en-
gagged in work preparatory to the
reconstruction Of the Center street
bridge, between Newark and Harrison.
The accident occurred on floating
pontoon anchored off the Newark
bank Of the river and close to the
bridge. On the pontoon is a double
stee! caisson which was operated by
steam. The steam apparatus also was
used to supply air to the interior OF
the caisson. The caiSson was being
sunk for the purpose OF building con-
crete piers to carry into the Newark
extension the McAdoo tunnel. Soon
after II O'Clock, while the entire
night gang was in the bottom OF the
caisson, the steam engine broke down.
As result the air supply for the men
was cut off, and they suffocated,
Harry calls Cor assistance were tele-
phone by men at work on the bridge.
There was immediate response, but the
rescuers we're powerless.

A VALUABLE VIOLIN.

Reasons why the executors OF the
estate of Henry 0. Havemeyer, the
sugar magnatc, believes the govern
rnent suit against them for the for
feiture ola rare violin imported in 1906
should be dismissed were set forth in
their answer to the suit filed in the
United States District Court in New
York yesterday. The violin, a
Stradivarius- -Kicsewetter, IS alleged to
have been smuggled into the country
through the port of Boston. In the
forfeiture suit begun on January IT,
the government claimed that the violin
is actually worth $40, ,992, 47, although
its value in Mr.. Havemeyer's will is
stated to be g, 900. In the answer, it
is admitted that the violin was brought
into the United States from foreign
port in the steamer 1berian, but 1t is
denied that the instrument is worth
more than 81, ,554 The principal de-
fense is alleged undue delay in the
bringing of the suit. The claimants
set forth continued possession OF the in
strnment by Henry 0. Havemeyer at
his residence in New York from Jan
uary, 1906, down to the time OF his
death in December, 1907, since which
time It has been in the possession OF
the executors of his will and could have
been easily found, SO that the proper
process for the forfeiture of it might
have been instituted and served against
the property.
The executors ask that the violin be
restored and the suit dismissed.

VISITS RURAL SCHOOLS.

Assistant Health Commissioner, DR..
Allen w. Freeman, who has just re-
turned to Richmond. from tour OF
Inspection among the rural schools OF
Loudoun county, expresses the opinion
that nowhere is improved sanitation
more needed than in the elementary
"one-room" schools Of the state.
There has been marked improve
mept in the schools of some localities
during recent months, he declares,
owing TO the activity of the Department
OF Public Instruction and the healch
authorities, but much remains to be
done. In Loudoun county, he found
steps were being takeu to correct con-
ditions which had been prejudicial to
the health of the pupils. Our people
are just realizing the importance OF
improving the schools, said DR.. Free
man yesterday. and they are begin
ming to appreciate the fact that upon the
sanitation of the schools depends the
health Of the children at very critical
time Of their. life.

GETS BURIED GOLD.

James P. Snyder, who vas buried
in Page county Va, Monday, is re-
ported to have left large sums OF money
which he had carefully guarded since
the memorable California gold fever
in 1S49. Then young man about 20
years OF age, Snyder, with several
Virginia companions started in search
OF the yellow metal which was then
reported to be in large quantities be-
yond the Rocky Mountains. For a
time his lot was one OF hardships and
privation, though he kept up an caro-
est quest for the gold. Finally there
was turn OF affairs, and Snyder was
soon rated as one OF the lucky Virginia
forty-nincrs. He, however, continued
to stayi in California for some time,
all the time adding to his wealth.
Returning to Virginia, Snyder found
that the division OF his fathers estate
in Page county had allotted him what
was then small farm and Of little
value, not far from the base Of the
Blue Ridge. BY his indomitable
will and energy he soon converted
his tract of land into one of the
finest cherry and apple orchards
in the state BY the sale OF the products
OF there orchards. Snyder's California
fortune began to grow. The cherry
crop in Snyder's orchards was develop
ed to such an extentthat each year they
brought fabulous prices. His fortune
grew and he distrusted banks. He was
never married, and his housekeeper,
sincSthe death of her husband, has
been Mrs. ]. C. Southard.
Not long ago Snyder realizing the
weight OF his 50 years AID the conse
ouent near approach OF the end, called
Mrs. Southland into q side room OF his
home and pointing to the floor said:
See that piece OF carpet kalse 1t
up and lift up that trap door.

der further gave directions to the
astonished woman: Get down

JUMPED TO HER DEATH.

One woman jumped to her death and
two we're probably fatally burned in a
spectacular fire which practically de-
stroyed a four-story tenement building
at Thirty-seventh street and Sixth ave-
nue., New York yesterday. Search OF the
ruins was begun Immediately the lire
was extinguished for the body OF an
other woman believed to have perlshed.
Two firemcn we're injured in the dif-
ficult and dangerous work OF resculng
the score of occupants OF the burning
structure.
The dead woman is Mrs. Mary Celia,
and the most seriously injured are her
two daughters, Nellie and Lizzie Flames
drove the firemen back from the top
floor apartment where the Cellas lived.
The women were on the fire escape
when the rescuerS raised extension
ladders.
Mrs. Celia was u pillar OF flames out
lined against the sky. Fireman Mill
ward shouted 10 the Cellas not to jump
but lust as he vas reaching the top OF
the ladder, Mrs. Celia, screaming wlth
agony, climbed over the railing and
leaped off. Millward stretched out his
arms in an effort to catch the woman,
hut she slipped through his hands. Her
body shot downward to the roof OF the
extension, so feet below. When she
was picked up she was dead.
NIiiward despite his burns continued
up to the fire escape landing and res
cued the two daughters, beating out
the flame; on the night clothing OF the
girls Millward was badly burned.
