TIIE STATE LOAN IN DOUBT

Banks Awarded the Bonds Kaisc Objections to the Law Providing for Them. It Is Claimed an Omission of a Clause Stating the 3Ioney Is for Deficit Makes the Act Unconstitutional. State Treasurer Lemcke left for New York yesterday, taking with him in addition to the bonds awarded to tho Germans Savings Bank of that city, under its hid for tho last State loan a copy of an opinion furnished the Governor by Attorney-general Michenenn which the latter sustains tho constitutionality and legality of the loan act passed by the last Legislature. Tho reason for the last addition to tho papers carried by the Treasurer, is stated to be an objection raised by the attorneys of the bank to the phraseology of the act providing for the loan, in that itnegleets to box forth that the money is needed to meet a deficit to pay interest". The State Constitution, Section 5, Article X. provides that Xo law shall authorize any debt to be con.tracted in behalf of the State except in the following cases: To meet casual deficits in the revenue; to pay the interest on the State debt; to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities be threatened, prepare for the public defense." It is understood that the bank's objection to carrying ont its agreement is based npon the failure of the Legislature to incorporate the words of the Constitution in the net providing for the loan, and explicitly declare that the loan bo made for the purpose of meeting casual deficits, as well as to pay interest on the State debt. The opinion of tho Attorney-general is to the effect that it is sufficient that the facts exist on which the loan may be properly based, and he holds that the situation for w hich the Legislature undertook to provide "was exactly the casual deficit contemplated bv the State Constitution. There is a very cfearly-detined impression abont the Statehouse that the threatened hitch in the negotiation of the bonds is brought about by the discovery on the part of the officers - of the bank that their bid was considerably higher than the bids of their competitors, and that they have obligated themselves to - Tatr ohm it. 4S1'! fKTrtin Trpniirjm wViiMi Tnitrbhave been, saved by a lower bid, and the . loan at the same time secured. The loan of was made in exactly the same way as the ono now under consideration and the German Savings Bank people took and still held 500,000 of that withont questioning the validity of the bonds or the act which authorized them. There will be no intimation of this character, however, in tho further conduct of negotiations with the bank's representatives. Treasurer Lcmckowili confer with them on Monday, in New York, and lay before them the facts in the case and the law as construed by the State authorities when the tender of the bonds is made. He thinks he "will be able to close up the loan promptly, but was nowise chary . of expressing his opinion of the inconven- . ience that would result if the closing up of tho matter was delayed to any considerable extent. Attorney-general Michener stated that the constitutionality of the law could be-tested by the bidders in the federal courts, or it might be tested in this State by an injunction suit to restrain the issue . of the bonds, but either method would involve delay, and with the requisitions for - the public institutions and other expenses of the current month added to present deficiencies, the situation would become uncomfortable, to 6ay the least. Governor Hovey to a Jonrnal reporter last night stated that no had not been able to give the objection urged against the act lull investigation, but was disposed to think the law sufficient and that the bonds would be takeu by tho parties whose bid had been accepted and to whom they had been awarded. "I suggested," he said, to John M. Butler whose opinion has been asked by the German Savings Bank, that the bonds partook of the character of commercial paper to the extent that they would be good in the hands of third parties and that the State would be precluded in any 'event from setting up a defense against them in the hands of persons to whom the bank would dispose of them. I do not believe, however, that any successful defense could be made against them in the hands of first holders, and my impression is that the matter will be satisfactorily arranged." John M. Butler and Morris Snow, who were seen later, seemed to entertain a different idea from that expressed by the State officers as to the condition and - prospects of the loan. "We havo been at work all day looking up the authorities on the question raised." said Mr. Snow, "and thus far our investigation has tended to convince us that the loan act is invalid. As to the bonds being considered in the nature of commercial paper, and good in the .hands of third parties, we do not want to take issue "with tho Governor, but the .later decisions 'have held that , ties are subject to all the conditions that "would apply to first takers, and if defects in that class of bonds could be taken advantage of against any one who happened .to hold them, we do not see why State : bonds would not come within the same rule,' Mr. Butler, who came in while Mr. Snow "was talking, spoke to like effect. "We have " not completed the opinion asked for by the 'German Savings Bank." he said, "andprobably will not before Monday. i But I say frankly that so far as I have examined the question of the validity of the law under which it is proposed to issue the bonds. 1 am of the opinion that it is unconstitutional and while I would gladly uphold it if I could, it seems to me that it will not stand." "Have yon read the opinion the attorneygeneral gave the Governor!" "Yes. He furnished me a copy of it also, but I do not think he goes to the root of the matter. Some of the authorities I have examined certainly cut under the position he takes. I expect to telegraph my own conclusions to the German Savings Bank oa Monday." "In the event of such opinion being adverse to the loan act and the successful bidders, what would be tho effect here!7' "I have thought of that, and have sug- " gested some plans to the State officers. It would be possible to float the State government upon its income by cutting down .expenses to tho last possible notch. but the last Legislature undertook to tie up the hands of the State Auditor and State Treasurer, and made it a criminal otlenso for them to pay even the salaries of State officials until tho larger appropriations were paid. This might have worked if there had been money for all, but with insufficient; means for the benevolent institutions, and none for the ordinary current expenses of the State government, such a plan is simply revolutionary. My idea would be to go into court, and on this ground, and technical defects in the act, wipe out this attempt tie up the hands of government, and then by close econoniv run the State offices and institutions uutil a new Legislature is elected." "Could the benevolent institutions be carried on under such an arrangement?" "I think they could. Of conrse, all but the worst cases would have to be sent homo to the counties from which they came, and every possible retrenchment in every de- . partment of tho State government would have to be made, but anything would bo better than an extra session of tho last Legislature." "How long would it require to test tho validity of the act tieing up payments by' iue .laio Auuuor auu ireasurer: ' "It could be done in less than a week. All that would be necessary would bo for the State Auditor and Treasurer to refuse a State officer's salary on Monday next. A mandate could be sued out in tho lower court, decision given,' and a record made up and riled ra the Supreme Court as expeditiously as has been done in tho Supreme Court commission and board of control cases. As to tho hearing in the court of last resort it would be passed upon promptly, not only by reason of the importance of .the question, but because the support of the court itself would bo involved jn it." Will He Heard TueMlay. The argument In the mandamus case brought toy Joseph Carson, elected by the. Legislature to be a trustee of the Indiana Hospital for the Inaxnc, against Governor Hovey, will be heard by ,a Sunrezuo Court on Tuesday. Thus far in

tbe veto cases the attorneys on both sides have been Republicans. The record will be broken on Tuesday, as James L McCullough will aplear as one of the attorneys for Mr. Carson.

DENIALS IN LENT. A Period of Eestfnlness, with Some Devotion to Enhance the Spiritual Calm. The six weeks of fasting and prayer are welcomed in the Roman Catholic and Episcopal Churches as a time when ono can turn away from the worldly pleasures and excitements and give the hours to penitence and a self-examination. Having been engrossed with temporal affairs, a turn is made to, the spiritual. Many who have not felt that they could deny themselves at other times, and give to the needs of the sick, destitute and unhappy, make this a special season of offering, not only substantials, but help to the weary mind, and tnrn comforters to the distressed. It is a season when the devout devote less time to themselves and more to others, and as far as possible, it is presumed that there is more unselfishness in the world during the six weeks of Lent than all the other forty-six weeks combined, in the remainder of the year. As to the way in which? Lent is spent, to to the outward appearance, with few exceptions, it is about the same as at any other time. Among the members of the congregations referred to there are church services each day and often two or three ' evenings of the week, to which they feel in duty bound to go. This consumes some time each day, which at other seasons is given to something else. The great amount of denial practiced is not only among the Catholics and Episcopalians, but among people generally. The idea of Lent has become universal and not at all denominational. The denials are various. Some, earnestly and unknown to others, will deny themselves some much loved amusement, edible or Ainnlliin tr nf v li 5 r li f Tl t v nrA iftrtisri larly fond. It is said that thof lentcn season is less remunerative to theatricals, for the avoidanceof the theater is, by some, considered a great act of selfdenial. Cards are another thing. Some will not touch cards in lent, who. at other seasons are inveterate gamesters. Some draw the line at poker or euchre. They will play any other game but one or both of these: Some will not accept any invitation out to dinner, luncheon or tea. Probably in the whole line of denials there is no one branch more practiced than abstemiousness in eating. The article or articles are generally candy, gum. sweets, desserts, butter, or any of the thousand edibles of which man, woman or childkind are fond. The object in denying one's self is not only to bring the body into subjection, and therefore have better control of the spirit, but another object which is secondary but prominent is, that the money usually thrown away, or rather spent on such objects, shall be honestly put aside, saved, and given to the church at the Easter season. This is not what is done, however, as the Easter offerings will testify. The Scriptural command, "When ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance; for they disfigure their faces that thev may appear unto men to fast,"' is not always obeyed. It is scarcely possible that there is any one who disfigures the face to appear to fast, but mauy do what amounts to very much the same thing, and that is, they tell others what they are denying themselves. Often the fasting is done just so that that one may have the pleasure of saying to another. "I am not eating a bit of candy this Lent. Wh.it are you going withoutl" Some deny themselves all sociability, confining their calls to those who are sick and in trouble, and this Lent every one has had many calls of this kind to make. Sickness and death have entered into many families here, and kind words and sympathy go far toward lightening the burden of sorrow. The season is not at all a dark one, as the denying and sad visits would suggest, and especially to the women, for it is at -that season of the year when the feminine head of tho house is obliged to look after the spring sewing, and while this has many worries with dress-maker and seamstress, there is the shopping to do, and most women delight in that. There is the old custom of wearing something new at Laster, which is still adhered to, and the Easter festival usually falls late enough for one to be able to shed winter raiment and don fresh clothes, with the trees for company. Tho season has been adopted as one of " rest by the entiro social world, taking its cue from Washington, and so Lent, which for hundreds of years was only recognized by the two denominations. Catholics and Episcopalians, has grown to bo a universally observed season. A1IEAD OF MM TWICE. How a Jennings County 3Ian Captured Statesman Alonzo Green Smith on Two Occasions. "Did you ever hear cf the man who got ahead of Green Smith twice in Jennings county?" said an ex-legislator yesterday to a Journal reporter. "No? Well, I will have to tell you about that. When the war ended and tho pension business came up for consideration Green was making Democratio speeches in Jennings county, and bore down pretty hard on tho veterans, calling them mendicants and other hard names. One of them sent him word that if he did not retract he should have re good licking, and when tho atraction failed to - appear the contractor put in an appearance and carried out his contract f uily, including some extras not mentioned in the plans and specifications. It was the impression, indeed, at the time, that he would have killed Smith if some of the Litter's friends had not rescued him from the bottom of the heap. Time passed on, and a few years afterward Smith's assailant turned up as a witness in a lawsuit, and it fell to Smith's lot to examine him. He begain in the usual way, by asking the man's name and residence, and was duly informed on those subjects. Vero you ever in the army?' "'Yes.' " 'Did you ever kill any rebels?' " I came near killing one once,' said the man. looking lazily at Smith, 'but some of his d n fool friends pulled me off.' " Religious Notes. The services at all the other churches will be held as usual. ' Rev. F. M. Rains, of Kansas, will fill the pulpit at the Central Christian Church this morning. "Are There few that be Paved" will be the evening topic of Kev. M. L. mines, of the First Presbyterian Church. Dr. John A. Broadus. D.

Galbralth Not Competent to Decide. Dr. arah Stockton, recently a physician of the woman's department of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, is stopping at the New Denlson House. "I am fully satisfied" said she yesterday, in reply to the reporter's Interrogatory, "that it was niy testimony before the legislative investigating committee that brought about my dismissal by Superintendent Galbranh. The superintendent will chance my dismissal to incompetency. My record goes back to the suiertnteudency of Dr. Fletcher, and he testified to my competency. As to Dr. (ialbraith. he is incompetent to decide. As to my not submitting to discipline, under this superintendent, there Is no discipline to submit to. lie cannot innnt toanvinsubordinatio on luy part. My testimony to the committee was given under oath aud brouchtout by skillful questioning. Who of the committee carried the report of my testimony to the Doctor, I'm sure I do not know.

MURPHY'S BRIGHT SAYINGS

They Come from One Rich in Good Humor and Winning Kindness for Men. The Evangelist Insists on Converts Giving Proof of Their Sincerity, and Many Tell IIow Much Abstinence lias Done for Them. When Francis Murphy stepped upon the platform at Meridian M. K. Church, last night, he looked as freah as a daisy at sunrise, and yet it was at the close of a week's hard work and the close of a day's work specially arduous amongthe factories about the city. Mr. Murphy's energy and physical vigor are something surprising. He never apparently gets tired, and always carries a full head of tme missionary fervor. "We will sing again for our help and guidance," said the apostlo of temperance, "Hymn No. 11 on the slips, 'Let the Lower Lights Be Burning:' " 'Brightly beams our Father's mercy From His light-house evermore. But to us He gives tho keeping Of the lights along the shore. ' He then read with running comment a part of the chapter of Galatians "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and bo not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Mr. Murphy said at the close of tho reading: "We have had a great, stirring weekone of tho most blessed of my life's work." 'Don't forget your collection, Brother Murphy," said Dr. Cleveland. "No sir, never fear. I'm approaching that now. We had a glorious day Dr. Cleveland and I. Francis Murphy, saved by the grace of God and trying to lead a sweet and kindly life, is speaking to men. l$nt the church doesn't care for us,' say some of 3'ou. Now that's a mistake. Ion know when we want anything wo go to Christian people all the timet Don't we now? I'm a traveling bishop, the world is my dioceso and mankind my couutrymcu. I want 3'ou to get rid of the idea that you are not needed in' the church. I want to seo an increase in the attendance iu the churches, and if there is not I will not come back to Indianapolis. Yes, I want every ono of you boys, addressing the blue ribbon elubl to get down on your marrow-bones. It is easy. The Lord has made tho conditions, 'ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.' Let us make more of this sweet gospel. Let us practice it in the family. Not all self; let us bfl kind to others. When you have steak don't cut out the tenderloin for yourself. Don't take tho best of the chicken. Don't take wing and give neck to somebody else. I've tned neck a number of times. But it tried my appetite, it did. I backslide ou tho neck of a chicken. "We have been greatly helped by the press, not much by the religious press. God bless 'em, but by tho secular press. Some people say the press is ungodly because it advertises bitters; but they help us. They give good reports of our meetings. A good lot of us are like the man who went down the Jericho road and fell among thieves, and was wounded by them and left by the wayside. Help comes to us from an unexpected quarter. The priest and his assistant pass by on the other side, and then a Hamaritau comes along and the Samaritan hated the Jews aud he was on a splendid horse I wish I had one and the wounded man said to himself that fellow will give me a thrashing. Then the horse shied. Whoa there! and the Samaritan reined up, jumped oft", slipped his bridle over his arm, and, coming up nearer, asked what was the matter. Then ho went to his 6addle-bags and took out his ointment, tore the lining out of his overcoat and made bandages, boosted the wounded man up on the saddle and led the horso along, and walked himself. Yes, that man got help of a man of whom he did not expect it. Ministers on this platform have got help from people they didn't expect. Oh, yes; there's a great deal of good in human nature. This pledge does not consist only in signing and putting on a blue ribbon. A mau who just stays sober so that he can do naughty things is no good. We want men to clean tho inside of the platter as well as the outside. It goes against our cussedness some times to be honest clear through." Mr. Murphy called upou a number of men to come forward and give their testimony as converts to the blue ribbon. Among those who spoke were Samuel Kennedy, Kobert Duncan, Charles Boss, John Martin and Wm. Ferriter. James H.Martin said that he and his two brothers had signed tho Murphy pledge. lie signed in December, when Mr. Murphy was here before, and in the factory in which he was employed there were no more black bottles. The boys had put them into a barrel and pounded them to pieces. "I never had any appetite for breakfast," said Mr. Martin, a sturdy, manly-looking man, "until 9 or 10 o'clock, but now that I've signed the pledge my wife cau't get breakfast ready any too soon for me. I used to be out at night hustling around for drinks; now I'm at home." "I'm sorry I can't stay here another week or two," said Mr. Murphy; "but I must go to other places where engagements have been made for me. I was across the river to-day. Those streets down that way (meauing the southwest portion of the city) are lined with rumshops. Colenel Millard, of the car-works, has a heart as big as a steamboat, and he is interested for his men. A great many men will drop a pair of shoes for his boy at 4hese places or a bonnet for Katy, a little pair of shoes for Johnny or a dress for the baby. We must get such men to carry home their savings; get them to make a savings bank of, a corner lot." Talks wero made by Kev. Mr. Haines, of Topeka, Kan., Kev. Dr. Cleveland, Kev. Dr. Ford, of Central-avenue Church, and Capt. Eli Ritter. "I am glad I took the pledge" said Captian Kitter, "I took it at a Ouaker mothers knee, when I was a boy no higher than that table. I had never touched a drop before that day and have never touched a drop since. Many men cannot ' start alone. They havo to think about it. and that is what these meetings are for. The strength of Mr. Murphy's work is that he makes men come to think about it. There are thousands of men who want people to help them. A man does not o into dissipation of himself, but because e likes society, and these men can be saved by giving them encouragement and sociAvhat a movement this is." said Mr. Murphy, with much enthusiasm; "what a movement, the simplicity of saving men." You have read of the laying of the cornerstone of Bunker Hill monument. Daniel Webster was tho oratorof tho occasion, and the whole country had been looking forward to the time when he should pronounce a eulogy about the magnificent heroism of the men and womeu who had emancipated the country from tyranuy and oppression. The timo for the oration had come. Seventy-live thousand people had gathered to get a look at the marvelous man whose fame was as wide as civilization. This splendid orator was there, dressed in his American suit, with his old-fashioned swallow-tailed coat and gilt buttons. By and by tho CTOwd'became so intense and eager that it came up agaiust the platform like the waves of the sea and shook it and again it came and the platform was raised as if about to be crushed. The Mayor spoke to the people and told them to stand b?ck, and a little man in tho crowd said, iu a squeaking voice, 'sir, it is impossible.' And another wave came, and the Mayor was startled, und said to Mr. Webster, 'will you. sir, speak to the people and get them to stand back.' And Mr. Webster stood up. He was looking beyond the crowd and in' his great eyes were the marching armies of his country and the red-coats of the British. In his ears was the rattle of musketry at Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill. Then he spoke, and with his wonderful voice, said: 'Ladies and gentlemen stand back.' and there was another little mau in there, aud he, looking up into that great face, said, 'Mr. Webster, it is utterly impossible ' 'Impossible!' said Mr. Webster. impossible! Sir, there is nothing impossible on Bunker Hill. Ladies and gentlemen stand back.' The great crowd did move back. Nothing impossible on Bunker Hill! With how much more confidence ought we in this holy place, looking into your faces and in the holiest cause under the stars, to say there is nothing impossible to the man who seeks for liberty from drink! Come and sign the pledge!" There were quite a number of signers following this appeal, which was delivered with great power, for the magnetism of tho man is more than the mere words. To-night Mr. Murphy will hold his last meeting. This will be at Tomlinson Hall, and it is

expected that great audience-room will be tilled. This afternoon at 4 o'clock Mr. Murphy will conduct the dedicatory exercises of lunianapolis League, No. 1, Gospel Temperance, at the room of the 'Lea cue. No. 12 Vajen's Block, over Co" 1-2 North Pennsylvania street. ITEMS FROM TIIE POLICE. . A Father Takes Ills Son to the Station-House on a Charge of Stealing. Yesterday afternoon James Harper, fifteen, and Charles Trowbridge, seventeen years of age, -were arrested on the charge of petit larceny, in taking several sets of harness from Del. Pepso, a carpenter and contractor on Fletcher avenue, and from Geo. Stout, ou Ilosbrook street. The boys were caught in the heading factory at the crossing of the Belt road on South East street, by Harper's father, who took them both to the poliee station, where he stated that he had done all in his power to keep his son out of evil ways, but failing, he had some hopes that the city courts could teach him a lesson. ITsrd Too Much of the Sidewalks. Alfred Chriaholm, the so-called Indian doctor who has been dispensing medical lectures and panaceas for all diseases, on the corner of Washington and Illinois streets for some nights past, was arrested last nicht on the charge of obstructing the sidewalks. Tho Salvation Army, holding forth on an opposite corner, was also complained of to the police, but its members decamped when an example had been made of their rival missionary. Customers Had II Im Arrested. Henry Carter was taken to the station-house, last night, on the charge of selling provisions In short measure. lie is the proprietor of a small grocery on Indiana avenue, and was arrested on a warrant sword out by persons claiming to be his customers, who complain that of late they have teen receiving quantities of goods not up to

PLAYEBS ON THE DIAMOND

A City League Nine Gives tbe Professionals a Chance to Test Their Practice. The Series of the Home ClaVs Exhibition Games Will Begin To-Morrow Well Supplied with ritchers and Catchers Sotcs. The second game between the Hoosiers and a picked nine from the City League clubs was played at the Seventh-street grounds yesterday afternoon, in the presence of five hundred people. Several changes had been made in the amateur team, and it was a much weaker combination than the one that played in the first contest. As usual, the young pitchers were very wild, and rarely got the ball over the plate, and when they did it was batted all over the field, and the Leaguers had things all their own way from the start. Getzein made his first appearance with the home team, pitching two innings. He is a fine-looking athlete, and is a very peaceful player. Of course the opposing batteries could do nothing with his delivery, and after tho second inning he went to right field, liusie taking his place in the box. The latter was also very effective, and handled the stick like a veteran. Manager Bancroft thinks well of the young man, and the professional players all speak of him as a very promising pitcher. Tho score of yesterday s game was as follows:

The Hoosier ball team will leave for Louiavlllo at 8:30 o'clock to-morrow morning, and play in that city in the afternoon. Three games will bo played there, and on Thursday and Friday of this week tho Kentuckiaus will appear on tho home grounds. Manager Bancroft has not yet decided how the team will le placed, as some of the men may not reach here in time for tho opening games. Buckley, McGeachy and Denny are the absent ones, and it is not certain when they will be ou hand. Denny should have come night before last, but failed to get here. McGcaehydid notwant toleave hlsuouie in Clinton. Mass., before to-morrow, but was telegraphed to come on at once, and Manager Bancroft thinks he may le here to-day. Denny, too, is expected. and Buckly should havo reported ten days ago. lie nas signea ana received ins aavance monev. but sinco the latter watt sent him, he has not been heard from. Boyle, Getzein, Shreve. Burdick, Glasscock, Bassett. Schoeneck, Dailv, Meyers, Hines and Seery are tbe players already nere, kuu tiiey win ail bo taKen to Louisville. Getzein or Boyle will probably pitch the opening game, n Denny uoes not arrive in time for these contests. Daily and Myers will Ik? alternated at third base, and if McGeaehev falls to come, ono of the extra pitchers will take his place m risrht field. Manager Bancroft Is very anxious to win the opening games, and hopes to b able to put his strongest team into the field. If Denny and McGeachy were here the club would be In good shane though it will not bo weak as it stands. Eassett and Meyers who havo not had much practice are a littlo sore, but will be able to put up a good game and the other C layers are all in fine condition. Getzein has een at work for some time and is in excellent trim. In practice yesterday he showed great speed und manager Bancroft is very much pleased with the way in which the big pitcher Imts them over the plate. Getzein is one of tho lardest workers in the business and always plays to win. He Is a tine fielder in his position and is a good batter, lie will add great strength to the team. Whitney to He Asked to Report. It is probable that Manager Bancroft will ask Whitney to report at once. He has been coaching a college team for several weeks, and Is, therefore, in good condition, and will be ready to go to work as soon as he arrives. It is doubtful if nealy knows anything of the deal yet, but he is not likely to make uny objection to the transfer. Rvcn if ho did, it would avail him nothing. The clubs have all waived claim to his services, barring New York, and no trouble is anticipated from that source, as President Day has not, and will not, object to the deal. He is in Florida, and President Brush has not been able to reach him yet. He, and all the other club officials, have waived claim to Whitney, and he has probably been released to Indianapolis before this. A Well-Balanced Club. With Getzein, Boyle, Whitney, Burdick and Shreve as pitchers the Indianapolis team ought to be as strong In the box as any club In tho League, barring possibly New York and Pittsburg, both of which will present a tine array of talent- In Buckley, Meyers and Daily tho Ilooslers have a splendid trio of catchers, and it is generally admitted that Indianapolis will havo the best iutleld in the League, while the outtield will bo up to the average. In view of these facts there seems to be no reason why the club should not make a good showing the coming season. The men are all dolag what they can to keep in condition to play good ball, and the management has good reason to think that the lloo&iers will do well. Base-Ball Notes. O'Brien has finally signed with Washington. The California League season opened on tho 24th. Trick McSorle'y will play on the coast the coming season. W. II. Lucas has been made manager of tho Davenport Club. There are three Tebeaus playing professional balL They are all brothers. John Ward says Washington released one of her best men when Daily was sold. The Philadelphia team will open tho 6eason at home to-morrow, playing the Newark. The Washington League Club has offered $1,000 for Short-stop llckett, of St. Paul. The president of the Columbus club is a brewer, yet no beer is to be sold on the Columbus grounds this season. Andrew Weidman, bother of George Weidman, Toronto's pitcher, will likely be given a trial us catcher by Hamilton. Secretary Leimgruber, of the Rochester club, is the publisher of a very neat and convenient vest-pocket schedule. The Kansas City club has offered to sign Sam Barklcy at $1,800 a considerable reduction from last season's salary. Charles Daniels has been appointed to a place on the American Association umpire staff, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dave Sullivan. Burdick is showing up splendidly in practice, and the management is well pleased with his work. He has great sjieed and excellent control of the balL Arundel is again in trouble. He and Mike Mansell engaged In a knock-down, one day last week, and now the amiable Mr. Arundel is in the body of an Auburn, N. Y., Jail. George Meyers is of the opinion that Rowe and White will not play with either Boston or Pittsburg the coming season, unless they reeeive some concessions from the League or Detroit Bassett knocked the ball over left field fence, yesterday, for the nrst time since he has played with tho Indianapolis team. He stepped at third base, however, and did not get credit for a homerun. Baker, the Newark ritcher who dodged the reserve rule and went to California, has signed with the Stockton club, and will remain on the coast despite the threat of the Newark people to blacklist him. Charles Bassett weighs twenty-five pounds less than he did last season. He is much more active on his feet than he was last year, and his practice shows that he is going to play second base in fine style the coming season. The Juniors have reorganized for the season, and w ill nut the following team into the field: Sam Morris, pitcher; Will Graydcn, catcher; Alexander Grayden. rieht field; Frank Wydman, fchort-stop; Frank Grithths, third base; Clinton

MIRACXJLOUS That dainty lady trippimr by. How light her step, how bright her eye. How fresh her cheek with healthful glow. Like roses that in Maytime blow' And yet few weeks have passed away Since she was fading, day by day. The doctor's skill could naught avail; Weaker she grew, and thin and pale.

Lowes, center field; LMward Richardson, second base; Fred Nicholas, left field; James bommerville, first base. The Boston? will wear uuiforms the same as last season, with the exception that the traveliug suit will Iks of a lighter-colored material. Wright fc Ditson will have them made for the team in time for their first tour. Arthur Irwin can find out the signs of opposing pitchers qrhker than any other mau iu the League. Morris, of the Pittsburg team, has been inventing sitm all winter, and now claims that he will bother the Thiladclphian's cuptain to call the turn. The State, of Kentucky will not 1 largeenough to hold Thomas Lstcrbrook if the Ixmivilles Wilt the Indianapolis team u majority of the games to be played between the clubs this week. With Lstcrbrook and Kerins In tbe team, the visitors ought to draw largo crowds on the home grounds. Tho Pikers ball club has leen reorganized, with the following players: Gaeren and Simpson, catchers: Duulap and Callahan, pitchers; O'Leary, first ba: Stuck, second base; McGinnis, third base, v ith Hines, Buckley and Boulaugerinthe out-Held. Challanjccs will bo received at SS East Washington street. Some of the California papers are criticising Jerry Deuny liecause he said ho would stay out there unless his clasi!1cation was changed, and then refused a liberal offer and signed with lndianaiHdis. They call him a big Muilcrand all that fort of thing. If fome of the people who ore abusing Denny knew more about base-ball and base-ball players they would not be so easily deluded. Denny never had the remotest idea of remaining on the coast. The "Cold Marks" bftll club has been organized, with tho following list of players: Morgan and Ferguson, catchers; Morauund F. Tauney, pitchers; Callahan S. Henning, liit base; o. Tauny, second bape; B. Smith, third base; with Ilai kinson, Rogers and Moore m the outfield, t'ampbcll and Smith will be the substitutes. The Cold Marks would like to hear from the Young Hustlers; aud other clubs of that age, C. Tyer is tbe manager, and can bo addressed at llil South East street. Pitiful Condition of Taylor's Family. There was a family at the station-house, last night, in pitifully destitute circumstances. E. F. Taylor, his wife and three children left Adkin, Ark., about tho middle of this month, on their way to Chicago. In Wagner, Ind. T.t Taylor claims that he was robbed of $780, his entire worldly possessions, after which, through the kindness of tho railroads and the people on their way, they arrived in Chicago. From that city they arrived here yesterday afternoon, penuik-rs and without food. They applied to Superintendent Travis, who gave them a room in the police station, where, ou the board lloor, the little group of four slept all night. Mr. Taylor claims to have Ix-en the owner of a small grocery in Adkln, and when ho decided to come east to seek a different climate, he sold his stock for nearly .S00. He is a man forty-two years of age and apparently in almost the last stages of consumption, for an be told his story last night he was coniiwlled to t-top time and again a hacking cough would almost seem to sap his strength. Illswi'e. a few years younger, appears as if she too had been much overworked, and in her arms she held a one-ytar-old child, while on either 6ide of her were two other children, one a boy of twelve and the other a girl of ten. Some effort will probably be made this morning for their temporary 6iipiort. Got Ills Money After Thirty-Four Years. Piilj.iELrniA, fMarch 30. Mr. A. Squires was to-day, paid $2.J01.7S by Superintendent Cox, of tbe mint. Mr. Squires is an old California miner who presented himself at the mint a few months ago and presented an old yellow piece of paper, on which could ' be seen a few lines and letters showing that something had been written on it, and which he claimed was a receipt for gold dust which he had deposited with the officers of the Philadelphia mint in 1855, amounting to $2,201.78. The mint officials, upon referring to the books of that date, found that a dejosit of such a nature had Leenmade at that timo aud had never been called for. Mr. Vox questioned tbe old mau aud became convinced that there was some truth in his story, and that he was the man referred to in the books; but to make urc of his authority to pay over the money, be referred tho matter to the authorities at Washington. He sent twenty-five or thirt y pages of depositions to the capital, ami had Squires send him his photograph, which he sent to California for the purpose of identification. He also sent to various parties, both in California and Wheeling, Squires's home, and they all sent back word thnt he was a thoroughly honest man, and sent such other testimony as proved beyond a doubt that Squires was the man he represented himself to be. The authorities at Washington were also convinced of the truthfulness of his claim, and ordered the amount to t paid. Theater Manager Striken with Apoplexj-. New York, March 30. John W. Duff, well known as a theatrical manager in this city, and father of James C. Duff, managerof thestimdanl Theater. wa stricken down to-day with npo!)lexy.
