ATTEMPT A Three Colored Men Said to Have Placed Bolt Across C, C. & L Tracks. REVENGE WAS THE MOTIVE THOUGHT HERE THAT REPORTED ATTEMPT REFERS TO ESCAPADE OF THREE SMALL BOYS REWARD OFFERED. Hamilton, O., Jan. 29.-A dastardly attempt to wreck passenger train No. 02, the fastest train on the C. C. & L. road was made at Cottage Grove, Ind., "Wednesday night. A heavy railroad tie was wired to the track, but the obstruction was discovered by the enginer in the nick of time. Earlier in the ventrig three colored tramps were ejected from a freight train at Cottage Urove. They are suspected of the deed and it is thought they planned the wreck for revenge. The headlight of the passenger train disclosed the obstruction. The train was stopped within a few feet of the tie. A reward of $2,(M is offered by the company for the apprehension of the men. BOYS MAKE DENIAL. The above dispatch probably refers to the- lads who placed a bolt across the C. C. & L. tracks Wednesday night. In a letter to the Palladium, Carl and Frank Kilgus say they had no intention of attempting to wreck a train when the bolt was placed on the C. C. & L. railorad just north of Boston. The boys declare they were lied to to induce them to leave home. The lads declare they never have been in police court but what they proved themselves Innocent. "We have learned enough not to listen to other boys," write the youngsters. PITIFUL CASE IS DISCLOSED IN AN INVESTIGATION (Continued From Page One.) when must force him to help me, if he will not do it willingly. I am no longer able to help myself." Wanted Place' to Work. "If George would only find me some place to work, that would more than satisfy me. I want to be independent of him, if I can. But his wife once borrowed $40 of me, in his presence and if he would repay thaL it would do much. I pawned my watch and ring to get the ?40-for them when they were in need of it." Now he won't do anything for me. "How it comes that both my sons forget their mother in her old age when she needs them is more than I know. God knows I didn't bring them up in that way. Henry, my other son, is in Wilmington. He too, is married and has five children, but has a good position on the Seaboard Air Line and could easily send me ' a few dollars. But he doesn't, and being m.Wilming ton, I can do nothing to make him help me." Mrs. Field is twice a widow. She married Captain Samuel Augustus Field, who commanded a Minnesota regiment in the civil war and died in 1878. After that Mrs. Field had to earn her own living. She finally became a trained nurse and then married Thos. A. Sullivan, a keeper in the jail at Blackwells Island. He died seventeen years ago and again Mrs. Field-Sulli van had to- earn her own living. 0. G. REID WAS IN WITH S C. LOVE BUT HE ESCAPED Continued From Page One.) ' This is only one instance of being Bhort. H was in many stocks on the short side and the trend has been upward on the general list for nine months, although, the real swing upward began seven months ago. As losses continued to go against him Mr. Love's former friends are said to have returned to his assistance and backed him until the losses rendered it advisable to close out the business. "Fights' Market All the Way. P. G. Reid. one of Mr. Love's friends and clients, was also a bear on stocks. For three months at least he is presumed to have been on the wrong side of the movement. With Mr. Love it was n case of "fighting" the market all the way up. He would buy in at a loss too stocks he had sold shortly, only to put out tnore short lines and suffer, more losses. ... And in so doing he was not alone, for a number of well known speculators did the same thing. They evidently had longer purses, however, than Mr. Love. It i3 said that Mr. Love's early operations on.t.he hull side of the market in the first three or four years after the organization of the firm were extremely successful and it was the fact of his early successes that encouraged him to continue operations.

Affairs of the Sporting World

The reason, probably, why you don't hear Ty Cobb yelling for more salary is that last winter he signed a twoyear contract. Bill Abstein seems to be getting chesty. He writes: "Fred Clarke need not worry about having first covered properly for the Pirates. No corner will be covered any better than that sack when I get on the job." Tommy Leach says Wilson will be the best outfielder in the National league this season. He wasn't far from it last season. A report has it that the New York Americans have made an offer to Buck Rementer, the Tri-State league catcher. Rementer caught 107 games for Lancaster last year. Garry Hermann of the Reds is try ing to dope out whether he wants the Reds at home or on the road during the holiday dates.

Quigley was the star performer and ran through the Richmond defense time and time again without opposition. Perry also played a fast game but in doing so accumulated three fouls. Altogether Marlon made five fouls, taking one score away from their total. Oesting and Lancaster played in good form for the visitors. Lineup and summary. Marion Richmond Quigley.. Moran First Rush.

Jack Hannifan and Tommy Shean will have a battle royal for the utility position of the Phillies. These two also fought for the honor position on the Athletics several years ago. Six widely known players are reported to have gone to Cuba to play with the Matanzaz team in the Cuban league, among them being McQuillin, of the Phillies and Schlitzer of the Athletics. A meeting of the board of directors of the Eastern league will be held today at the office of President Pat T. Powers, Flatiron building, New York.

Winter Sports of All Sorts to Be Held In Montreal Feb. 10-20. For tho first time in fifteen years Montreal is to have a grand carnival of winter sports from Feb. 10 to 20, inclusive. This revival of winter fes tivities in Montreal promises to be a success. Most prominent citizens of Montreal have given their fullest in dorsement to the project, and the plan ning of the festival has been placed la the bands of men of experience. A big ice palace will be erected on the east flank of Mount Royal, the mountain which is a center of attrac tion for tourists. The style of architecture adopted for this palace is the English Tudor baronial of the fortified period. The Interior of the main tower will consist of a main chamber forty feet in diameter, which will be deco rated and utilized for exhibition purposes. It will be 190 feet in height and the others 100 feet each. Some doubts were entertained as to the possibility, owing to the mild weather prevailing during the entire fall season, of securing ice of sufficient thickness to cut the huge blocks required to build this palace, but the last very cold spell, which spread ail over America and even in England, France and other European countries has removed all anxieties on that point. The ice is now of sufficient thickness to be cut into clear water, where It has that brilliant greenish blue tint peculiar to the St. Lawrence river. The decorations and illuminations of the palace will be elaborate, and the sight at night will be one not to be forgotten. The. ice palace will be the center of the display of fireworks. By lighting it up with colored and prismatic flambeaux the scene will be brilliant and changing. The storming of the palace promises to draw an army of enowshoers, clad in historical costumes. The program of attractions Is daily added to, and exhibitions of snowshoeing, skeelng, hockey, curling, skating, tobogganing and sleighing will be among the features. TENNIS MATCHES IN LONDON Deciding Games For Davis International Cup Go to England. With the announcement that the twenty-eighth annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis association would be held Friday, Feb. 12, at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York came official news from England to the effect that the final matches for the Dwight F. Davis international challenge cup would be played at Wimbledon, London. It has been expected for some tinv that, although the cup is held in Australia, the finals would be played either can association's meeting next mouth. The value of the fish and other aquatis products annually taken from the sea surrounding Japan, is over $50,000,000. France has three-fifths of an acre of forest to each inhabitant. That country imports annually $30,000,000 worth of wood. State forests there yield annually $1.75 an acre, and cost 95 vents annually.

SIGNS AFFIDAVIT IN SUIT REPRESENTATIVE OF ATTORNEY CROMWELL ALSO CALLS ON DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND GIVES DEPOSITION. New York, Jan. 29. Uncertainty as to what action would be taken on the recent suggestion made by District Attorney Jerome in the government suit against the New York World for libel, that the federal authorities suspend their activities and permit him to proceed in their stead, was in a measure removed yesterday by the signing of an affidavit by Douglas Robinson, brother-in-law of the president May Be Complaining Witness. It is believed that Mr. Robinson's signing of the affidavit means that he has accepted Mr. Jerome's proposition to appear as a complaining witnes3 against the World and that the grand jury of the county of New York ia preparing to take the matter in hand. Mr. Robinson was closeted with the district attorney for nearly an hour, but neither would discuss the subject of their conference. Mr. Jerome declared, however, that he had received no reply from either Attorney General Bonaparte or United States District Attorney Henry L. Stimson as to what course the government proposed taking in regard to his suggestion that the state proceedings be given the right of way. Until he received assurance that such right of way would be given him he could do nothing, he declared. Visitor From Cromwell, Another visitor received by Mr. Jerome was Jonas Whitley, a representative of William Nelson Cromwell, who was one of the early witnesses in Washington. Mr. Whitley left here after signing a deposition before Magistrate Krotei. Although this deposition was not made public. It is understood to recite the fact that the day before the publication of the article since alleged j to have been libelous Mr. Whitley j called at the office of the World and ! notified those in charge of the paper j taken with a view to its being read to j the county grand jury.
