ONLY FOR BASE BALL CRANKS.
Tfc® Lewie Consolidation—Talk of
Another Southern Circuit.
Lovers of base ball will no doubt be inter
ested at learning that the differences be
tween tfte national league and American
association will in all likelihood be patched
up. The directors of the national league
hive appointed A. H. Sodento confer w.th
Mr. French of the association with a view
of making a settlement of the difUcul ties.
Messrs. Soden and French have also been
instructed to consolidate the league and asso
ciation into one base ball association.
The circuit to be arranged will lnclule
the following cities; riostoQ, New York,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington in the ea-it; Chicago, Cleve
land, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Louisville and
St. Louis in the west.
Last year the two organizations had six
teen club* altogether. Four of these will
De dropped, as follows: The Boston and
Philadelphia league teams and the Colum
bus and Milwaukee association teams.
Milwaukee, it is understood, will enter
the western association, and Columbus will
sell its franchise, which will probably bo
taken up by the association to prevent any
otner town from entering the twelve-club
circuit.
The only clubs objecting to the consoli
dation are the Athletic club of Philadel
phia, owned by the Wagners; Chicagoclub,
but recently organized; Von Der Ahe’s St.
Louis club and the Louisville club. Von
Her Ahe wants Sunday games in St. Louis,
and to wheel him in line the league will
'grant the SuDday privilege to all six of the
Western clubs. The Athletics are to be
paid S4'J,OOO for their franchise. At present
they ask $75,000, but officials say they will
not get it, as the Athletics aro sure to accept
the former sum when all the other teams
agree.
Representatives of Atlanta, Nashville,
Memphis and New Orleans base ball inter
ests are considering aud endeavoring to or
ganize another southern league. The cir
cuit as proposed will include Nashville,
Cnattanooga, Atlanta, Memphis, Savan
nah, New Orleans. Birmingham and Mo
bile. Nashville, ;Atl*nta, Chattanooga and
New Orleans have shown themselves to be
excellent base ball towns and the other
cities mentioned are not far behind them.
When the southern league was in operation
several years ago Atlanta held the pennant
for three consecutive years. The last year
it was captured by New Orleans. It
is safe to say that if a league
is organized Savannah will not be in it.
RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
The officials are on their regular monthly
inspection tour of the systom, and will go
to Columbia this morniug, and from there
over the remainder of the Richmond and
Danville lines.
W. M. Davidson, general passenger agent
of the Savannah, Florida and Western, of
Jacks mville, and E. P. McSwiney, general
passenger agent of the Charleston and Sa
vannah railroad, spent yesterday in the
city.
If Henry Villard does not hurry uo, snys
a correspondent in the Electrical Review,
an eL-otric road will be built before ho
gets to work, for L. P. Griffith, who has or
ganized the electric railway system of
Seattle, has formed a company to build a
line. The line as projeoied will be about
forty miles. A preliminary survey has al
ready been made.
An interesting case is on trial in the su
preme court, that of Cain Cooper against
the East Tennessee rod, a suit for SIO,OOO
damages. Cooper is a negro, and claims to
have bought a ticket from Eastman to Du
bois during 1887. At Dubois the conductor
aroused him after the train had started off,
he alleges, and told him to jump, and when
he hesitated the conductor pushed him, and
the claimant fell under the train and one
of his legs was cut olf.
In writing of electric and horse car lines
the Record and Guide says: "Some fig
ures which have recently been published
showing the large difference bat ween the
expenso of operating a horse road and an
electric road should bo carefully studied by
the municipal authorities alt over the
country. It seems from the figures (there
is no reason to doubt th 'ir accuracy) that
the cost of power is six times as much to a
horso car company as it is to an oieotric
company, and that eleeir.f traction can
haul the same number of passengers as
animal power can at half tho delay and
t" ir-e the speed. When such an increase of
efflei >ncy is obtained at such a reduction of
cost it js no wonder that horse car com
pani h are sweating all over the country to
iutro luce an electric system.”
At no time in tho history of railroads has
the improvement of the engines r ceived
more attention than now. Mechanic; are
trying to detJrmiue the most perfect combi
nations of speed and strength and at the same
time to economize the use of fuel. Each
year the htandard of locomotives is rape 1
higher. Some master mechanics are of the
opinion that the heaviest locomotive now
built is as heavy as it is practicable to build
one. while others predict that still heavier
passenger and freight engines will bo built
and the roadbeds of the country will be so
improved as to admit of high speed with
safety, even if an engine weighs one-third
more than the ten-wheel passenger engines
now in use. What the future will bring
forth to increase the speed and power of en
gines is a problem of interest to others than
mechanics. Experiments made on the Lake
Shore and Michigan Central roads with
heavy ten-wheel engines are believed to
have proved them to be tbe best for heavy
trains and long runs. The fast mail and
the American express trains on the Lake
Shore have been consolidated, and by the
use of the teu-wheel engines fast time is
made. Their great superiority over the
heavy passenger engines is the ease with
which they start a train.

MAY CONQUER LOCKJAW.
Extraordinary Case of Young Fred
erick Falter Puzzles Physicians.
From the Mew York Herald.
Atlantic City N. J., Nov. 18.—a re
markable case of lockjaw has been exciting
the great interest of physicians in this city,
and has caused them to hunt through their
books for precedents. In fact, almost every
doctor in the country is taking an interest
in the case, as it isyaid to bo the first of its
kind that has over oorne directly under their
notice.
The patient Is a young German, Frederick
Falter, about 21 years oid, who has for a
fortnight suffered in tne clutches of the
dread disease. For the last thirteen days
nearly every muscla of his body has been
rigid and drawn to such a tension that
he has been unable to lie in a natural posi
tion.
Should be survive another day the physi
cians in attendance think they will be able
to save his life, which, upon the authority
of a loading practitioner, would be the sec
ond case on record in the United States to
his knowledge.
STEPPED ON AN UPTURNED NAIL.
Falter was in tho employ of J'ohn S.
Taylor, a baker, and while at work he ac
cidentally stepped upon an upturned nail,
which deeply penetrated the flesn of the
foot. At the time he took but little heed of
the wound, and merely put a bandage ab >ut
his foot. In a few days the wound healed
and the accident was forgotten.
According to his statement it was about
ton days after he had stepped upon the nail
that the poison began to manifest itself in
his system. He first experienced a slight
stiffening of the muscles of his jaw. He
paid no attention whatever to these symp
toms, not knowing their import, and think
ing nt the time it was merely a slight cold
in his head.
Only a few days elapsed before he was
compelled to call to his assistance Dr. J. B.
Thompson, who, upon discovering the nat
ure of hi3 patient’s disease, resorted to tho
usual remedies, of which chloral is an im
portant ingredient.
The result of nearly all cases of lockjaw
has beon the death of the patient not later
than eight days afier the symptoms have
developed. But in this instance Dr. Thomp
son has great hopes of the ultimata recov
ery of iis patient, who has displayed re
markable vitality.
SEIZED WITH A SUDDEN SPASM.
All the pain Falter experiences is from
sudden spasmodic c infractions of the mus
cles yet unaffected. These cause him to
twist violently and during such paroxysms
he displays unnatural strength. Otherwise
he is in good physical condition, having a
good appetite, sleeping well and conscious
of what is going on. He firmly adheres to
the belief that he will recover. He has no
relations in this country and is being cared
for by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Muth, with
whom ha boards in North South Carolina
avenue and who are doing everything in
their power to alleviate his sufferings.
Dr. Thompson bases his only hope of the
recovery of his patient upon his sturdy
frame and good health. He expresses the
opinion that after the disease has run its full
course of two weeks the ebaneps of the re
covery of his patient will be better. Until
that time careful nursing and attention
would be required to help nature in its work
of combating the poisin that permeates tbe
systom of the invalid.
KANSAS ClrY’3 GOLD MJNS.
Many Millions Thought to be Buried
There.
Prom the SI, Louis Republic.
Kansas Citv, Mo., Nov. 16. —A shaft
will probably be sunk on the land owned by
George R. Nelson, across the river, for the
discovery of gold made by Mr. Wentrock.
City Engineer Butts and Mr. Nelson held a
conference this afternoon, and Mr. Butt 8
said that his confidence in the discovery is
such that if reasonable terms can be ma le
he is willing t > bear the expense of sinking
the shaft. He estimates that it will cost
about 81,000.
This morning he said: “I am satisfied
that the bed of gold-bearing sand lies below
the shale. The boring was so carefully
done as to warrant that opinion. I don’t
know how thick the auriferous stratum is
but it probablv extends twenty or thirty
feet down. You know we went into it only
four feet. Comments on this discovery are
based on the experience of all the Missouri
valley towns where gold has been found in
the sands, but not in paying quantities.
Note this important distinction. Phis gold
was deposited here before there was any
Missouri river, it is beneath the shale. In
my opinion the deposit covers at least 2,000
or 3,000 acres. Of course if the gold-bear
ing sands extend under it there is at least
81,000,000 in it.”
George Nelson, on whose land the
gold was discovered, is not excited thereby,
but la said to be preparing to make a
thorough test. He says: “If the auriferous
bed extends under the Harlem bend, Mr.
Lipscomb, my attorney, figures that, at the
rate per ton given by tbe assay, there is
82,000,000 under eaoh acre. I have already
been approaohed by parties desirous of buy
ing. One man asked me to fix a price on
100 acres. We will see what there is in it.
Of course, if the discovery is what it seems
to be, and what Mr. Butts believes it to be,
there will be a rush of people into Kansas
City like tbe rush to California.”
The general opinion among tne people is
that the value of Mr. Wentrock’s discovery
should be tested at once. The known facts
are too slender to base valuable conclusions
upon. People aocept them for what they
are and demand a thorough test. The gen
uineness of tbe assay and the good faith in
which the sample was selected are generally
accepted. AJI that remains is a thorough
test on a larger scale.

EXPERT LETTER THIEVES
NEW YORK AND OTHER CITIES BUF
FER3D AT THEIR HANDS.
N1 embers of a Gan* That Had a Let
ter Carrier’s Uniform and ‘‘Collect
ed” From the Street Boxes —They
Get $25,000 on Raised Ohecke, and
Thousands in Cash-Three Arrested
In Atlanta.
From the .Veto York H'oWd.
There i* great rejoicing in the inspectors’
department of the poetofflce. After months
of search the officers have run down the
bold gang of mail box robbers, who have
operated in nearly all the prominent cities
in the country. All the members of the
gang, it is believed, are now under arrest.
It is the same gang that in May last began
operations in this city by breaking open a
letter box at Fourteenth street and First
avenue and stealing its contents, ’lbs rob
bery, by its very boldness, put Postmaster
Vun Cott ou his guard. He sought the aid
of Inspector Byrnes, who detailed a num
ber of men to assist tho postmaster. For
several days every box in the city was
watched. Mr, Van Cott in person guarding
one of the down-town boxes at night. The
World printed an exclusive story of the
fact at the time. The prompt action of the
postoffice authorities alarmed the gang, and
they abandoned New York city as a field
for operations.
The members of the gang under arrest
are Charles Hubbard, alias Charles Dia
mond; J. K. Stratton, T. C. Boulan, alias
T. Cayton, and Henry Armstrong alias
“Shoeney” Armstrong.
Gen. E. G. Kathbone, chief inspector of
the postotEoe, commenced working on the
case last February. He called to his as
sistance Inspectors j. Jacobs of this city,
A. M. Sproesser of Washington, Paul A.
Williams of St. Louis, and A. R. Holmes of
the Cincinnati division. The gang began
operations in August, 1890, in Washington,
and also operated in St. Louis, Chicago, St.
Paul, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburg,
Louisville, Nashville, Denver, Atlanta, New
Orleans and other cities. The inspectors
found that the gang would raid a number
of boxes in a city, then jump to another
city, a .and after a while would return and
make another raid.
When Gen. Rathbone was made fourth
assistant he handed the matter over to In.
specter M. D. Wheeler, and the search was
ountiuued under his discretion.
Inspector Jacobs got dose on the heeis of
the gang at Denver. He followed them to
Dallas aud from there to Atlanta. At Dal
las he learned that they had left tho train,
intending to stay in the town, but the police
did not like their looks aud ordered them
back on the train. They went on to At
lanta and put up at tho Folsom house, occu
pying one room. While Jacobs was watch
ing them Armstrong left for this city.
Fearing that he would lose the others,
Jacobs had Stratton, Hubbard and Boulan
arrested.
On one of them they found sixty-five
letter-box keys; on another, four b ittiss of
ink erasing acid; on another, two boxes of
crayon colors aud a letter-pouch key and
several fine steel saws and eleven flies
of various sizes. They also found a com
olete letter-carrier’s uniform and a mail
bag. Their method was to first obtain a
mail-box padlock by sailing one off; then
tney would get a key to fit it, a ,and, as all
the hexes are alike, they would be thus en
abled to open any box they chose. One of
the gang, dressed in the letter-carrier’s uni
form, would go to the boxes situated in the
business centers and abstract the contents.
They would open tho letters by placing a
piece of blotting paper, dipped in hot water
across the back of a latter, softening the
gum, so that it was au easy matter to open
the letter without injuring the envelope in
the least. This precaution was taken so
that if the letter contained nothing of
value, they could remail it without excit
ing any suspicion that it had beeu tam
pered with. If the letters contained checks
i heir method to erase, by meaus of acids,
the name of tbe person to whom it was
made payable and insert “payable to
bearer” instead. As many checks are
tinted, so as to betray the use of acid, which
destroys the tinting, the gang had colored
crayons to retint in any color. It was
done so skilfully that only a close inspec
tion would betray the fact.
After the arrest of tho three in Atlanta
Inspector Jacobs had himself committed as a
counterfeiter and placed in a cell between
Stratton and Boulan, so as to overhear their
conversation, die heard them agree to say
nothing about beiDg previously acquainted,
or any ot their plans. As it was hoped to
catch Armstrong in this city, the fact of
the arrest was kept secret.
Armstrong was arrested in this city on
Saturday and remained in Ludlow street
jail until yesterday ufternoon, when he was
handed over to an officer who started with
him for St. Louis, where they have a strong
ca-o against Armstrong, Stratton and Hub
bard. Stratton and Hubbard are also on
their way to St. Louis. Boulan has been
taken to Nashville, where they have a good
case against him.
Inspector Paul A. Williams has in his
possession S2S,U(X) worth of checks stolen
from the mails in various cities, altered and
cashed by the banks, and it is believed that
thousands of dollars in cash have been stolen
from letters in the same way. In some in
stances tho gang was not content with cash
ing the checks for their original amount,
hut raised them by tbe use of acids and col'
oring crayons. The inspectors bad a great
deal of trouble in getting even a fair de
scription of tne men from the various pav
mg tellers who cashed t;e altered checks,
and have conceived a correspondingly low
opinion of the intelligence of the average
bank teller. One coeck in the pos
session of Inspector Jacobs was drawn by
Lamprecht Bros. & Cos., bankers, of Cleve
land, to the order of Theodore P.oeble for
8435. Armstrong got it cashed. Another
check drawn on tne Meridiau Bank of In
diauapolis for $23 54 was raised to 8.34 54.
Armstrong is 26 years old, and is said to
be tho son of an old gambler In Nashville.
Hubbard is 40 years old. He was sent to
Sing Sing in 1885 for four ye irs, from this
city, for highway robbery. His picture is
No. 340 in the Rogues’ Gallery. Stratton is
40 years old, and Boulan 48, Inspector
Jacobs thinks they have a criminal record
at Detroit, aud he will look them up there,
lie discovered that one of the headquarters
of the gaug was at the homo of Jennie Car
rero. in Louisville. A sachel sent by Hub
bard fro n New Orleans to Louisville was
captured by the Inspectors. It contained a
oompleto outfit of burglars’ tools, some jew
elry, and a gold watch with the name Clar
ence E. Steadmau engraved on it.
Clarence E. Steadman of this city, com
plained of tha loss of a gold watch some
time ago. This may be his.
It appears that the same four were ar
rested in Cleveland as suspicious characters
some time ago, but the authorities there did
not know the importance of their capture
and let them go.
The former leader of the gang was Pren
tice Tiller, alias Charles Price, who is now
serving a five-year sentence in Jackson,
Mich., for uttering a forged chock. He was
arrested in Detroit. Ho was at one
time a clerk for the United States
Express Company, running on the
Iron Mountain ruilroad. He stole an
express package containing $116,000 and
sent a sachel containing the money to a
confederate, but on tbe way its contents
were accidentally discovered and the money
was recovered.
The first trace that the inspectors got of
tbe gang was through a visit of Hubbard at
tbe jail where Tiller is confined.
J. N. Gregory, Butler Postoffice, S. C.
writes: “My wife bad been under the treat
ment of several good physicians, but con
tinued in poor health, so i bought four bot
tles of Boranio Blood Balm, aud it did her
more good than those doctors had done her
in ten years. Hhe is now doing her own

Clarksburg, W. Va„ Nov. 16i—A bold
attempt to capture a passenger train was
made by a gang of desperadoes, headed by
a giant named Laughliu of Baltimore, at
Clarks, a small station on tbe Monongabela
River road last night. Owing to some
trouble the Baltimore and Ohio train No.
4 was obliged to leave the main Line at
Fairmont and go to Grafton via the Monon
gaheia line and Clarksburg. The gang
boarded the train at Fairmont, and, after
refusing to pay their fare, attacked the con
ductor and crew viciously, and had it not
been for the assistance of the pussengors
the railroaders would probably have been
killed.
; The train was stopped and the toughs put
off, when they rolled huge rocks in front
of the engine, endeavoring to derail it.
They also stoned tbe train. Injuring a brake
