Xn addition to bis skill at ahortfleld WUllamBon was a good catcher and a first-class pitober. He played little in tbe outfleld because his skill was In greater demand elsewhere, but be doubtless would have become an unsurpassed outfielder. He was one of tbe beat batters in tbe profession and was a brll Uant base runner, being a clever slider. He was also tbe undisputed champion long-dis unce,thrower of the profession, and easily won the prise offered for that feat in Cincinnati in tbe fall of 1880
He was 87 years of age. He played his Arm engagement as a professional ball player witfc the Newcastle P^) team in 1^76. Before the close of that season he aoceitod an engagement with the Alleghenles, of Pennsylvania, a professional team, which, while a member of no organization, was one ol the strongest clubs in tne country. Ht remained there over a year and then accepted a place In the team that was being formed to represent Indianapolis In tbe leuguc In 1878. At the end of the season he left the Indianapolis and joined the Chloago club, with wnlch organization he remained until 1890, ai which time, owing to an injury received in Paris while on the famous tour of the world trip, hp was compelled to retire. Since thee he has been engaged lu the saloqn business ID this city.] ___________

Full Withlu a Ymr from ltn Downfall.
ITS DK11T8 WBRK $1,250,000. CHICAGO, March fl.—The Lehigh Coal & Iron company, which went into a receiver's hands in April, 1898, has been declared restored to solvency. In his ohnmbers• at Milwaukee Saturday Judge Jenkins of the United States circuit court entered an order discharging the receiver afid directing that the estate be returned to the corporation. Duplicate copies of the order will be filed to-day in the United States circuit. courU In this city, Madison. Wis., and St. Paul, Minn, immediately thereafter checks to the creditors for the full amount of their claims will be sent from President Doty's office, and this action will relegate to history a failure which, both in its extent and the celerity with which the intricate complications growing out of it were settled, will, it is said, stand out prominently for a long time to come. The company failed for $1,260,000. Under the direction of Judge Jenkins it has transacted a business of $6,000,000 during the last year, and, as said, is able to pay all its creditors in full.
Led the Panic.
[The collapse of the kehigh Coal & Iron company last April, on account of the gloomy bust, ness outloo.c at the time, and the well-Unowa public men interested In lis affairs, was one of the seusatlone of the year. In measure ft may be said to have inaugurated the panic, for when the Lehigh tumbled consternation was widespread in the buniness world. The largest coal company lu tbe Uuited Hiatus, It had long bean regarded us the richest and most powerful in the flelil It had almost unlimited dockage facilities for handling tbe products of its mines and Its great freight steamers rode on almost every wave between Buffalo and Chicago. Tbe company did a business of 2,000,000 tons of coalaycurund Its coke ovens discharged 1,000 tons of coke in addition. Its coal fields extended from West Virginia through Pennsylvania and Ohio smd up to the West Superior region. Naturally the collapse of such a gigantic concern shook business bouses in half a dozen statos.
Tbe failure of the Lehigh Coal A Iron company was precipitated by tho collapse of A~ U. Vates, of Rochester, president of the Rochester, 1Juffalo & Pittsburgh railroad. Mr. Yates was also president of the Lehigh company, aud while an attempt was made at tbo time to deny that his Individual failure would affeot ibe com. pany, the crash could not long he postponed.
Illgr Failures Follow.
Directly after the tumble of Mr. Vates, H. IL Wnruer, tho patent -medicine man, sank and bis failure was speedily followed by that of the Ohio Coal Exchange company, tho Cros•ent Coal Mining., comp&uy. the Ontario Coal Mining company, tho Manitoba Coal &> Railway company, and the Lehigh & Fraukltn Coal company. All these were feeders of the Lehigh Coal & Iron company, and the bi& company fell with them. For a time its furnace fires were banked and all its mines we?e idle.
Fifty-six banks were caught when the company tumbled. Among the most conspicuous creditors were the late James G. Blaine, Senator Gorman of Maryland, Senator Brioe of Ohio. ex-Senator Sands of West Virginia and a number of other public men.
Receiver Appointed.
When tho company went down President Yates resigned and Capt. L. Doty was ohosen to succeed bim, and a few days later Judge Jenkins appointed the new president reoelver of the company.
Soon after Receiver Doty took charge he and Judge Jenkins outlined tho policy for the company aud managed its affairs with the greatest care. They reduced expenses wherever it could be done, but it is doubtful whether either of them ftxpeeted to discharge the enormous debt lu cloven months. The year's profits, however, were far in excess of their calculations, and after It became apparent that nil creditors coulu be satisfied it was determined to ask for tbe receivers' discharge.
It Is said that this affair is without parallel in two respects—first, in that the Judge permitted the receiver to be discharged before dens had actually been paid, and, socond, in that such a gigantic conoeru earned enough in less than a year, under the management of a United States circuit judge, to actually pay all its debts.]
WYANT IS ARRESTED.
Owner of the UttffJc Mines in West Virginia Takwn In Custody. CHARLESTOWX, W. Va., March 5.— Capt. Wyant, tho proprietor of the Eagle mines, was arrested here Sunday on a warrant Issued by Squire Adkins. This information was telegraphed the govertior late Sunday. The dispatch did not give tlfe offense charged, the parties by whom the writ, was obtained, or whether served by the sheriff. It is feared by state officials that an attempt will be made by the strikers to take Wyant from the authorities and lynch him, as the feeling against him is very intense.
Affairs at Montgomery are becoming more complicated. The sheriff se^ms to be threatened with dillicuity in executing tbe warrants obtained Saturday for the arrest of the men engaged In the attack on Wyant's raiaers Tuesday. Sunday morning Gov. MacCorklc received a telegram from Col. Hodges, in command of the mil itary at Eagle, saj'lng the town authorities of Montgomery were interfering with the sherill. This officer made fourteen arrests and is now on his way to Kayetteville with the prisoners. He has thlrty-nlno warrants still in his hands. The authorities fear that an attempt will bo made to rescue the prisoners on their way to the county seat.
Close of the Student Convention. DKTHOIT, Mich., March 6. —Late Sunday night the 1,500 delegates attending the convention of the international students' voluuteer missionary movement began leaving the city. Many interesting meetings were held on Sunday. The convention closed with a farewell service in the evening. The executive committee decided to send more men among the colleges during the year to increase the membership.

nrrci. TO THE DKATU.
Memphis, Tenn., March 5.—The most sensational tragedy in the history of Mississippi occurred at Kosciusko, the county seat of Attala county, Saturday. S. A. Jackson, a member of the state legislature aud one of the most prominent democratic politicians in the state, was shot and instautly killed and •Samuel Uuasell and William Sanders, two innocent bystanders, fatally wounded by Rev. W. P. Ratlitfe, also a member of the legislature and one of the leaders of the populist party in Missouri
CHUBO of the Tragedy.
The tragedy was the culmination of a political feud of long standing which was brought to a climax by a bitter newspaper controversy. Rutliffe published an editorial in his paper, the Vindicator, reflecting on Jackson's vote in the rccent contest in the 4egi&* lature over the election of a successor to United States Senator Walthall. Jackson replied in a card in unother paper, in which he deuounced Hatliffe as a liar.
The Fatal Meeting.
The two men met at the courthouse in Kosciusko Saturday for the first time since the publication of Jackson's artielo. There was a large crowd on hand attending a bankrupt sale by the sheriff. No one noticed the meeting of the two mon ur.til they began scut fling in the courthouse door. Both Ratliffe and Jackson pulled their revolvers and began a terrible duel to the death.
When the smoke of battle cleared away Jackson was found with a bullet hole in his forehead, while his right arm near the shoulder was shattered by a glancing shot aimed at his head. A few feet away lay Samuel Russell amd William Sanders, two bystauders, with mortal wounds. Russell was 6hot through the head and expired in a few minutes. Sanders was shot in the thigh and is expected to die. Ratcliffe discharged every chamber of his revolver, and, finding that he had no mpre ammunition, he coolly stood and watched the writhing of hia victims until the sheriff arrested him and took him to Jail.
The Slayer and Victim..
Hatcliffe was seen in the jail and asked for a statement, but he refused to talk further than to say ho shot Jaokson in self-defense. Jackson was a prominent merchant of Kosciusko and was reputed to be a wealthy man He leaves a wife and several children.
Russell and Sanders, the bystanders who were shot, were farmers. The jail is strongly guarded to prevent Ratliffe being lynched by Jackson's friends.
Mr. Ratliffe was leader of the populist party in this section, and represented this county in the legislature, He is a "hardshell" Uaptlst preacher.
Sues the Road for 910,000. ROOKFOHD, 111., Maroh 5.— Miss Hattle Narregang has begun suit against the Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul railway tfor 110,000 damages. She came from Dakota on a 1,000-mile ticket, which the conductor between here and Chicago refused to honor becauso the prefix Miss was omitted. She was forcibly ejected at Elgin and took a later train. In waiting for a connecting train at Davis Junction one of her feet was frozen.
Whole Family I'olscued.
NEWTON, Kan., March ft.-—The entire family of E. L. Snyder, a merchant o.' Sedgwick, a few miles from here, was accidentally poisoned by some unknown substance in the coffee Friday. Mrs. Snyder died within a few hours lu terrible agony, and Mr. Snyder died Friday night It is not expected that the children will survive.
