PEACE PATGKERS PUT

TO WORK DIGGING GRAVE FOR BASE BALL HATCHET.

JANUARY MEETING TO' TELL

Power All Vested in Ban Johnson and He Will Have Say So as to "a Truce.

By juggling the constitution of the American league, the annual meeting of that organization, held in Chicago today, was made a "special" meeting, and it was decided to hold the annual meeting in New York some time during the month of January.

The principal business transacted during the day was the appointment of a committee to meet the National league at Cincinnati on January 5 to confer on peace terms between the two baseball organizations. The question was quickly disposed of, however, by the adoption of a resolution giving President Johnson absolute power to appoin his own committee or be the sole representative of the league at the joint meeting, with full power to act for the American league. President Johnson thought it would be the better plan to have the committee meet the National league at Cincinnati, andi so decided. The committee is composed of President Johnson, Charles Comiskey of Chicago, Henry Killilea of Boston and Charles Somers of Cleveland. Mr. Johnson, in explaining the reason of naming a. fourth committeeman, when the. general understanding was that the committee should be composed of but three of the American league magnates, sail that the was no limit to the number that could be appointed, and that he had appointed Mr. Killilea as the fourth member because of his knowledge of law.

No action was taken in regard to placing a team in- Pittsburg. C. J. Pedder and F. F. Eagle, representing the Pittsburg syndicate, attended the meeting to present their claims. Mr. Somers ot Cleveland, who acted1 as sponser for Pedder and Eagle, presented a statement to the magnates of the offer of the Pittsburgers who are after the club. This proposition included the sale of the Detroit franchise.

S. M. Angus, president of the Detroit club, however, refused to part with his club, at least nutil he could recover all that he has spent on it. and no offers to the present time, he says, will cover what he asks. "T have my price," says Mr. Angus, "but I figure that it will have to be at least $75,000 to cover my expenses since took hold of the club. If can get $100,000 might consider it, but so far that is much more than I have been offered."

When seen after the meeting Pedder and Eagle said they were not discouraged by any means and were still confident that an American league team would be seem in Pittsburg next year.

The report that Tim Loftus of Washington was to go to New York to have charge of the American league team in the latter city was denied by President Postal of Washington.

Those present were J. F. McNamara and S. M. Angus, Detroit: Fred 'Postal and Tom Loftus, Washington: Connie Mack, Frank Hough and' Ben Shibe, Philadelphia: C. W. Somers and J. F. Kilfoyle, Cleveland Ralph Orthwein, Max Orth wein and R. L. Hedges, St. Louis Joe Gar'.'in and Henry Killilea, Boston CJ/arles Comiskey, Chicago 'Ban Johnson, '/resident of the league. The meeting, which adjourned at 4 o'clock, was the shortest in the history of tbe American league, lasting but six hours,

Cummings in Faster Company. William Cummings, the hard hitting first baseman who played with the White House aggregation last year probably will be signed by the Wheeling, W. Va., baseball association for the coming season. Cummings is a fast man and there is little doubt that he could successfully- hold down a place in the Central league, if Wheeling receiver a franchise. Cecil Ferguson also is contemplating playing with Wheeling.

AN HONEST STATEMENT. Mr. William Acton of 212 Fourth St., Lincoln, 111., says: Our daughter aged sixteen, was suffering with a severe cough and cold on her lungs. Common remedies seemed to afford no relief and myself and her mother feared pneumonia or consumption. She began taking Harts' Honey and Horehound and in less than two weeks was entirely cured. We always l-ecommend Harts' Honey and Horehound to any one suffering with a deep seated cough or cold. Sold by Baur's Pharmacy.

POLICE AFTER M'COY

PUGILIST CHARGED WITH FLEECING BROKER OF $1,000'.

DENIED GETTING THE BILL

Said Man Only Gave Him Twenty Dol lars Instead of the Thousand Plunkers.

A general alarm has been sent out in New York by Capt. Titus of the detective bureau for the arrest of Norman Selby. known as Kid McCoy, the pugilist, on the charge of stealing $1,000. The alleged theft took place Saturday evening and the sending out of the alarm was kept quiet until this afternoon. The complainant against McCoy is David Lamar, who gave his address to Capt. Titus as 118 Fifth avenue. According to the story told by Capt. Titus this afternoon, Lamar said that he went into McCoy's Broadway saloon on Saturday evening with some friends. He gave McCoy a $1,000 bill, saying to him: "Wh£n you get through you can take it out of that."

The party had several drinks, but when they got ready to go McCoy decided, ac cording to Capt. Titus' report of Lamar's story, that the bill which had been given him was only a $20 bill.'instead1 of $1,000. A dispute arose, and finally McCoy frent out into the street, so Lamar said, and did not return. Lamar thereupon got into a cab and hurried to police headquarters, where he told his story to Capt.. Titus. According to Capt. Titus, McCoy has not been seen since Sunday night." Lamar's occupation, according to the directory, is that of broker. He is a familiar figure in Wall street, where he is known as a speculator of considerable daring, and one who always is able to trade with large houses. He is a vigorous-looking man. with a lot of black hair and a fierce black mustache. 'His name has sometimes been mentioned in the suits against various large corporations.

SAYS ITS SPITE WORK.

The Case of John Terry Charged With Criminal Assault—Accused Testified in His Own Behalf.

The case of John Terry charged with assaulting ten-year-old Essie Horner, with criminal intent, consumed the entire day in the circuit court yesterdlay and tho evidence for the defense was not all in when court adjourned yesterday evening. On the motion of the attorneys for the defense the witnesses were separated and brought into the court room one at a time to testify. The little girl was first placed on the stand and was not excused until near noon. Her story of the crime was the most revolting. The testimony of the other witnesses tended to corroborate what the child said1. Dr. Cabell, the colored physician, was placed on the stand. He was called to examine the child after the crime was reported. Terry went to the stand in his own behalf and made a flat denial of the charge, claiming that the charge against him was all spitework. He says that he refused to keep company with the mother of the girl and that she threatened to get even with him. When he was excused* from the stand, court adjourned for tho day. The attendance at the trial consists principally of the colored population of "Bagdad" who know and are friends of either defendant or the mother of the child.

Youngest Civil War Soldier Dispute. WASHINGTON. Dec. 23—The old- question of who was the youngest soldier in the Union army during the Civil war is being threshed out again. William Taylor of Shamokin, Pa., has claimed the distinction. He entered the army as a •drummer boy at the age of 12 years, 3 months and 2 days in the 84th Pennsylvania volunteer infantry. That claim has been disputed by Daniel Williams/ of Washington, who says he enlisted as a dirummer boy in the 24th New Jersey regiment when he was 11 years, 5 months and 14 days of age.

Will Probated.

The will 'of the late Ferdinand Zeigier was probated in the circuit court yesterday evening.

Tuesday—"King of Thamps." Wednesday—"King of Tramps." Thursday, xftatinee and night—"Hurrfan

Hearts." Friday—West's Minstrels. Saturday, matinee and night—"A Warm match."

The performance of. "The King of Tramps," which is to appear at the Grand tonight and tomorrow night is a notably good one. Philosopher Bob, excites deep interest and- shows that fine actor to good advantage. The story of his gradual descent, on account of nis wife's unfaithfulness, from the position of a successful practicing physician to the lowliness of a tramp, is one of deep feeling. While he comes in contact with the lowest specimens of humanity he never loses that nobleness of character which he possessed in his earlier days and When he succeeds in saving the life of the heroine, who is about to be cremated by Matthew Benton and Phillip Bradon, in order to secure her fortune, he Completely wins the hearts of the auditors. The piece, which was written for Leroy J. French by W. A. Tremayne and Trving I

sas hills—beautiful because if its simplicity, becauset of its, wholesome, truth art'd the lesson it'-brings lipirne to every heart. It is refreshing in this day of imported problem and suggestive plays, to be able to listen to an American play of plain common folk.

The American public loves a good joke, it loves a heart song, and it loves more than all else to laugh, this is the reason that the Wm. H. West Big Minstrel Jubilee fills the theaters of this country literally from "pit to dome." The mere announcement Of the coming of this brilliant array of "burnt cork" performers arouses the utmost interests, and the fact that the company will be kept,before the public and that it will be maintained at the highest standard of excellence has evidently been very pleasing to theatergoers, if one is to judge by the magnificient houses that have greeted them this season. It is said that the new scenic first part is the most elaborate and beautiful yet preented in a minstrel performance, while the costuming is both rich and elaborate. At the Grand Friday night.

The complications which led to be verge of disaster in New YOrk and Boston are familiar to all newspaper readers, but, it is commonly agreed by all that Mascagni was not to blame for the offensive imbroglio, that he was a victim to heinous management ahd further, that he is an extremely sensitive, artistic and finely galvanic director, full of the fiery temperament of his country. The beginning of the tour was ruined by bad management. All that, however, was wiped out, and under nef management, hailing from Chickering Hall, Boston, of which Richard Heard is the head and front, a fresh start has been made and the great composer and leader is now on the highway of prosperity at the head of his own Mascagni Opera company of one hundred people from fair Italy. The concert here on Sunday is bound to prove of great interest to everyone in this region, for the opportunity which it affords, to hear Italian opera given by Italian singers and players, led by tho greatest of Italian conductors, who, also is the composer of the one modern opera.* "Cavalleria Rusticana." The first part of the program is operatic concert the second part the. entire opera, supported by an orchestra of fifty-four players, full cast and chorus. Mascagni will appear at the Grand Sunday evening. -Seat sale opens Wednesday at 1:30 p. m.
