Bkk** to-day are paying loo, with of a further decline. Tke Hoff Supply. National Stockman. The various estimates In regard to the ItOff supply have nearly all placed the numher of hogs In the country very close to that of a year ago. None have increase 1 the number over 2 or 3 per cent., while the report of the Agricultural Department •t Washington gives a decrease of l.OtO,m head. According to the Government report, the number of hogs In the country January i, 1836, was smaller than at the same date la any year since 1880. with but one exception—that of 1*S3. The recent liberal supplies of hogs are calculated to make those Interested in this branch of the live-stock business lose faith In the different estimates of the supply In farmers' hands. These heavy runs have been the more surprising because some faith has been put In the estimated number of hogs in the country. With a short corn crop and many other large packing points to draw from the hog supply, It seems that grave errors had been made somewhere when the estimates were made up.' Thu up favorable Impressions In regard to Government estimates will, no doubt, be strengthened by the errors made In the report on the number of hogs in farmers hands. As examples of carelessness or negligence In making up this report, might be mentioned the fact that it gives exactly the same number of hogs on January 1. 1$95, as on January 1, 1894, in six different States. In some of the States no change whatever has been made for three years. There seems to be a discrepancy •omewbere, and from present indications the actual supply of hogs will far exceed any of the estimates of supplies sent •ut Let It Be Remembered. Financial- Chronicle. Remember, that a year ago we had 174,750,000 surplus reserve In our banks against less than thirty million dollars now; tfeat the chances of general business improving are much better to-day than they were at this time in 1894; that the Treasury receipts were largely below Its disbursements a year ago and decreasing, while at present they are very Bear to meeting them and each month being added to, with the presumption, drawn from all our experience, that the revenue will Improve as business Improves. Now, In addition to these contrasts and others equally suggestive which we might mention, draw another thought from history. We are all old enough to be able to recall full well a body of men just like the croakers of to-day, only more In number, who with the air of philosophers, told the public in 1878 that the plan of establishing gold payments on January 1, 1879. was the most absurd proposition that any sane people ever entertained; that the proposal to do this without drawing In a dollar of the pld greenbacks was simply Inviting disaster; that not a moth would pass—some gave the Treasury two months—before the gold accumulated as a reserve would be

Special to The Indianapolis New#. Crawfordsville, Ind., March 5.—The action taken last week at : the meeting of the Indiana college presidents, whereby stringent rules are laid down as to how the students shall play- base-ball, has raised a howl of indignation at Wabash. The students, without exception, condemn the action, and last evening the j College Athietio Association passed the following resolutions: "Whereas, We regard the action of the college presidents in forbidding the college base-ball teams to play games with professional players as a usurpation of power not to be tolerated: be it "Resolved, That we. the Wabash College Athletic Association, instruct our delegates to the meeting of the Intercollegiate Association at Indianapolis, on March 8, to represent us as vigorously denouncing said action, and to use their influence in the meeting to secure a repudiation of the same. "Resolved, That should no such action be taken, we do withdraw from the State Intercollegiate Association and ir.dependentlyaarrange our schedule of games; ’’Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forthwith sent to the secretary of each of the college associations con-

cerned.”

The resolutions were passed with a whoop aqd there was no dissenting voice. The students at Wabash maintain that in the past the action of the college presidents has hurt Wabash more than any other college because the Iron-clad rules adopted have been lived up to in an over-scrupu-lous manner here, while they have been quietly winked at In two or three other institutions. The Wabash association maintains that If the present rules are enforced; Wabash will lose considerable money, as a number of games with professional and semi-professional teams had been booked. Professor Chapman, Is working a novel Scheme at Wabash to-day. He has drawn up a written agreement, which the students are all signing, pledging themselves not to wager money on the result of Intercollegiate athletic contests. Professor Chapman believes that this will eliminate, so far as Wabash Is concerned at least, one of the most objectionable features ot college athletics. THE BATTLESHIP INDIANA.

SUING FOR DAMAGES. An Editor Appeal* To the Courts Beeanse of Libelous Charge*. Elkhart, Ind., March 5.-Robert H. Wearner, editor of the Bristol Banner, has brought suit against William W. Wright, township trustee, and Andrew J. Menges and Thomas Hllbish, claiming $20,000 damages for libel rfnd slander. All the persons named are leaders In the community and the suit develops a singular condition of affairs. Bristol abounds in sensations. Several weeks ago excitement culminated in the murder of farmer Crumpacker, whose skull was crushed as he was returning home, robbery being the supposed cause. A great deal of friction arose over this murder, as a number of citizens were subjected to surveillance. Finally Vinton Little, a young man, was arrested, and he Is now awaiting trial. Meanwhile the Bristol postofflee has been plundered, and the Government arrested Henry Sanger, Lee Bennett and William Palmer, who were released on their own recognizance. After the Crumpacker murder George Thompson and William Sherry Joined the Indiana Detective Association, which has its headquarters at Indianapolis, and it was through Thompson and Sherry that the arrest of the alleged postofflee robbers was brought about, a boy named Salsbury telling these embryo detectives that he lay in a woodshed and overfieard Sanger, Bennett and Palmer plot to rob the post-

office.

Editor Weamer, irt the Banner, ridiculed this proposition, and he also ridiculed the detective association, and thereupon, it is alleged, that Messrs. Wright, Menges and Hilbish, the defendants in the editor’s suit, joined in a letter, addressed to Cyrus F. Mosler, of Indianapolis, who owns the Banner, in which they arraigned Weamer for upholding lawlessness and demanded his removal from the editorial chair. They showed the letter to several of their friends, and they also called upon Mr. Weamer’s pastor and talked equally as bitterly of the editor. Afterward, however. they reconsidered and destroyed the

letter.

Toledo, O., March C.-Jqcob Shonbrick. living thirty-five miles northwest of here, was brutally tortured and robbed. He Is a well-to-do German farmer, who has kept his money about his premises. About dawn yesterday morning, . four men, masked, entered the house, first bound and gagged the fifteen-year-old daughter, who slept in a room off the kitchen. The others were then seized. The iwelve-year-old boy and the elder daughter were bound and gagged and tied to a chair. The old mart and his wife were easily overpowered. He was ordered to point out the hiding place of his money. He denied having any, but one of the men told him if he repeated that story his head would be blown off. He then took them to his sleeping room and tore up the carpet under the side of *he, bed next to the wall and brought out about $1,200 In bills. Three of the men were ajaout to leave, when the leader told them he knew there was more than that In the house. The old man denied it.

Again they held him over the stove until the pain caused him to faint. They then seized Mrs. Shonbrick and threatened the daughters with Indignities, but all denied knowledge of any more money in the - house. The men then took the old woman and held her over the flames until she was terribly burned. She refused to give any Information. Again they raised her over the stove, when she screamed that she would tell where the remainder of the money was hid. She was then so badly burned that they were compelled to carry her. Site directed them to the cellar, where, under a barrel, was concealed over $4,000, which they took and hastily left the house. LEFT CREDITORS BEHIND.

The Kendrick Brother* Have Gone Owing About 1$100,000. St. Louis, March 5.-It has Just come to light that Crawford Kendrick and Chas. Kendrick, two brothers, who have been doing business in the city under the names of C. M. Kendrick & Co., the Mississippi Mercantile Company and the Interstate Candy Company, and who stood high in business and social circles, have left for parts unknown, leaving behind a considerable Indetotedneas. Last January the firms of C. M. Kendrick 6t Co. and the Interstate Candy Company made an assignment, but the Mississippi Valley Mercantile Company continued In business. It Is said that the brothers borrowed money from various banks, ‘giving as security the paper of one of their other Arms, and bought goods under one firm name and sold them under another firm name. All this was done without the knowledge of the Eastern firms that sold them goods, and without the knowledge of the local banks, who loaned them

money.

The Kendrick brothers were rater by the comerolal agencies as being worth from $75,000 to $100/100. They are said to have Invested considerable money In coffee plantations in eld Mexico, where rumor says they have gone. As far as can be learned, but two banks here have suffered. The State Bank, of this city, advanced $22,000 on notes, but may get back $8,000 from the assets of the two firms, while the Citizens’ National Bank gave out $11,000. How much more the brothers were enabled to borrow In this way is not known, but the amount of their in-

debtedness may reach $100,000.

SI* Men Secured From Ctuelnnati— The Different Players and What I* Expected of Thom—Empire Athletle Contest*.

The Indianapolis base-ball team is ready to go to work. Manager Watkins went to CincinnaU yesterday, to secure six of Cincinnati’s players. So confident has Manager Watkins been that the six pteyera wanted would be secured that they have been considered as members of the team for nearly two months. At the recent league meeting, John T. Brush, who Is Interested in both clubs, secured from all the National League Clubs’ waivers of claim on the services of the six men wanted. AH that remained was to secure the release of them from the Cincinnati contracts, and then secure the indorsement of President Johnson, of the Western League to the deal. Yesterday afternoon, the facts were submitted to Mr. Johnson, together with the contracts with the players, and Mr. Johnson approved everything.

The club that Indianapolis will start the season of 1895 with is the best team it has had since the league team left It will be composed of the following players: Pitchers — Harvey Pastoriug, George Cross, Harry Sonler. George Wittrock. Chauncey Fisher, A. Fisher. Catchers—Robert Westlake, Charles McFarland, Robert Woods. First Baseman and Captain—Frank

Motz.

Second Basemen—Daniel Shields, W. H. Gifford, Perry Coughman, Harry McCor-

mick.

Shortstop—Jack Newell. Third Basemen-Fred Boat. T. F. White. Outfielders—George Henry, T. F. McCarthy, George Nicol, John Walters. Strength of the Team. There are twenty-one men In this list. All around, the team Is superior. No matter who plays In the outfield, it will be strong both In fielding and batting. The Infield will have at least three excellent batters in Newell, Motz and Roat. While Roat did not display batting strength last year, It was because he was not In the best physical condition. He has reached good form again this winter,'though, and Manager Watkins is confident will sustain his reputation in past years as a heavy hatter. He will be at hom# at third base. Last year he played short. In which position he has never been successful. The battery strength of the team Is also another source of congratulation. Wittrock and McFarland will make not only a good battery, but will be doubly strong, as both men are hard, safe batters. Chauncey Fisher and Woods will make another batting team. Woods Is a heavy hitter, and Fisher, in the Eastern League, was

in the front rank of batting pitchers. He was taken from the Eastern League early last year by Cleveland. As the Cleveland

pitchers were all In good form, the youngster was not tried there, but was released to Cincinnati. He pitched one or two games for Cincinnati, and made a good showing. Pastorius and Sonler hgve good reputations as batters. Cross Is probably the weakest batting pitcher, but ■if he improves over the form he showed last year, in the box, Ke will be almost In-

vincible.

The players now under contract will report here for practice about March 25. From that time on until the championship season opens—May 4—the players will be kept here in training at the expense of the local club. Captain Motz (which would have sounded well last year) will be here In about a week. He has written from his home at Akron, O., enthusiastically as to the prospect for the team this season. It is certain that the club can not carry twenty-one men throughout the season. About seven will have to be released. Manager Watkins will determine on the release of no one until after the practice games establish the merit or lack of merit In the players. All will have a fair chance. A. Fisher is a local left-hand pitcher who will be tried. SUNDAY BASE-BALL. Movement By the Managers In This Direction—Board To Connider It. Inquiries have been made by the baseball management as to the possibility of playing Sunday games. Superintendent Powell has expressed the opinion that they will be unlawful. The question is to be considered by the Board of Public Safety In a short time. The base-ball management says It does not wish to antagonize the authorities. Kissell, who owns a resort near by, has made a proposition to fit up a diamond at the fair grounds If Sunday base-ball will be allowed there. HALE AND WALKER. The Wrestling Match Betweea Them Declared “No Conte**.” Herbert Hale and Bert Walker wrestled for one hour and fifty-five minutes before fifteen hundred men at the Empire Theater last night. At the end of that time both agreed to a draw. Referee Ed Creasy would not so decide It and it was declared no contest. Before the men went on the mat Manager Zimmerman announced that the match would be to a finish or there would be no part of the purse paid to either wrestler. It was nearly midnight when the curtain was dropped and the crowd dismissed. The wrestling was preceded by several sparring bouts. The first, between the Schoppe brothers, was comical, but not so much so as the one between "Billy” Pritchard, a barber, and Harry O’Leary, a machinist. The "barber man” weighed about forty pounds less than his antagonist. Old men who had seen boxers for forty years said that Pritchard was the thinnest man they ever saw try to box. His body showed no physical development

at all; O’Leary looked fresh and healthy. Th* “barber man” took his trsatm—I with resignation that often characterizM th* victim of a farce boxing match In *

_ young boxers. Hale and Walker showed splendid’ form when they came on th* mat. Male was the heavier. Walker assumed the defensive, and Hate did a lot of hard work in the first half hour. The bout was at Walker's own style—Graeco-Roman—but hq seemed to find much difficulty in maintaining any of the usual holds. Hal# tried repeatedly, without success, a head hold that required close Inspection by th# referee to discover whether It was strangling Walker or not. Hammeriock, halfNelson and other good bolds were tried repeatedly by both, without any success. At the end of an hour both men appeared distressed, and It was believed they would not last much longer without a fall. But they did last until the spectators became tired and were willing that there should be an end. Many felt that there wa* much hippodrome about the affair, although the manager asked the referee to state to the audience whether he believed there was any "fake” about It. The referee said he saw no evidences that th# efforts of the men were not honest. A man said to be John Kelly, the ex-trainer of John L. Sullivan, was in the audience, and said tt w«s a great match. Others who had had experience on the mat said It was a great match. Still, many felt that the match could have been ended before It wgs. The majority of the spectators felt that the match was not a nlppodrome, If It was. they said. It 'was compensating to see such good acting. It was strange, though, that nearly two hours should pass without one man securing a Nelson. The men both showed great skill. In head-spinning and twisting both won applause. Hale made one of the best head-spins seen on the Empire stage. The match ended with a wrangle. Manager Zimmerman, the referee and the wrestlers were on the stage. The usual speeches were made to the audience about meeting again, posting forfeit, etc. Hale offered to continue the match then, but Walker declined. He said he had not required Hale to weigh under the agreement, and that Hale was heavier than he. Walker offered to meet him any time within a week. Another match will probably be arranged. Mr*. Mary E. Shelton Dead. Mrs. Mary E. Shelton, wife of Joseph R. Shelton, died at her home, «2 Hoyt avenue, at 5 o’clock this morning, of heart failure. She wo* a resident of Morgan county for many years, where Mr. Shelton served two terms as treasurer and auditor.
