CHICAGO , Deo. 7. President Barney
Dreyfuss nnd Secretary Harry Pulllam of
the Loulavlllo Haio Hall club today called on
President Hnrt of the Chicago team nnd
jnado nn offer to sell tbe Louisville club to
Chicago. President Hart refused to pay the
sum naked , hut made the visitors an offer.
The meeting was secret and neither side was
willing to way what were the figures named
by cither.
At 5 o'clock the Louisville men left for
' Plttfiburg , where the negotiations will bo
resumed for nome nort of n deal between
Louisville nnd Plttsburg , which may result
In the consolidation of the ( strong players
.In a team that will represent Plttsburg.
VConc'ornlng his offer President Hart said :
"I need only say the sum 1 offered for the
Ijoulsvllte players was equnl to the Louis
ville club's entire share of receipts nt Its
home grounds last season. I offered also to
make exchange * of players as well as a cash
bonus. I nm not much afraid of anyone
making n bid In txccss of my own , but my
belief la that Drcyfuss expects to effect
some tort of a deal with the Plttsburg club.
If he docs not do BO , wo may yet conclude a
deal with him. "
President Dreyfuss said :
"Wo are Investigating to see what Is the
bent thing that can bo done. If wo get a
figure for our players that wo regard as
satisfactory wo will sell and retire from the
league. If we do not we will continue In
the field. Wo have n young , hustling team j
tbat Is sure to make a good nhowlng In the j
race this year , nut for the fact that It Is HO
near the time for the expiration of the ten-
year agreement -wo would not think of
celling out , but as the circuit will be reor
ganized year after next anyhow we naturally
feel that we must look ahead. We have con
sidered disposing of our players because wo j
have several star men that are sure to bring
a big sum In the market. While Baltimore
has some good players , wo have more good
men and naturally believe that we will get a
good prlco If we feel It Is to our Interest to
retire from the game.
\ . President Hart will start for Now York
tomorrow.

bination lock. Jailor Hydock was unable

do so the pocketbook was placed In Scott' . * !
envelope along with other valuables taken
from him. After being released from custody
Scott made the statement that the cpmhhm-
tlon lock purac had been cpened and $80
In money abstracted. AfHertlons of thin
kind have made before nnd In order to clear
up the mystery surrounding this purse the
mayor decided to suspend both the day and
night jailer until the mntter Is settled. In
similar cases which have been brought tn
the attention of the public nn action In the
courts has ever been taken by those who
mndo claims of having been robbed while
Incarcerated. Referring to this matter the
mayor sold last night :
"I am tired of having complaints of this
Ittnd ami I propose tn put a atop to thorn.
These two olllcers have been Indefinitely
suspended and I will not reinstate them
until they have proved their Innocence. I
talked with Scott and his attorney today
nnd Scott admitted that he refused to open
the purse ! in order that Mn money might
bo counted , This matter Is going to be fully
Investigated , as I propose getting nt the
facts. "
Continuing , hlu honor said that ho was

having the Jallora placed under surety
1 wiule in order to relieve him of responsi
bility in case such things occur In the fu

parties In the state of Nebraska. Snld tele
grams asked Hitchcock to suppress the publi
cation of the matters furnished by the plain
tiffs under Bald contract. Hitchcock then
said : 'You folko will let me out of this all
right , won't you ? ' To which alllnnt replied :
'No , Indeed ; wo could not consider any
proposition of this kind. '
"Later , the same day , affiant called upon
said Hitchcock and at the lattcr's office the
conversation concerning said contract was
resumed. The affiant asked Hitchcock
whether the latter waH going to allow the
pressure that was being brought to inter
fere with the carrying out of said contract ,
to which Hitchcock replied : 'No ; when 1
entered into the contract I expected to have
a considerable amount of criticism to meet
and I am prepared to stand it. ' "
The affidavit goes on to tell bow Hitch
cock was then threatening to break the
contract and sets this up as a basis for the
appeal for an Injunction 'to ' prevent him from
doing so.

t'p on Mornlngsldo Hclghtg , In New York ,
on the crest of a ridge commanding a view
of buildings uncompromisingly modern ,
there IB In process of construction a cathe
dral of the medieval time , reports the New
York Herald. The great Cathedral of St.
John the Divine , the largest ecclesiastical
cdlflco In thp United States , Is now beyond
the stage of foundations nnd of-'stonp dress
ing. The cathedral churches of the Protest
ant - church , the Trinity cathedrals ,
the Christ church cathedrals , scatterel all
over the country , arc chapels compare to
the majestic pile which men are rearing
on the heights which command the region
of the Hurlem.
The crypt of the Cathedra ! Church of St.
John the Divine Is as largeas many houses
of worship accounted to bo by no moans
small.
Many have looked admiringly nt the tall
arch which stands out against the iky line
up there oh Mornlngslde. They have taken
themeasure of Its great height and com
mented upon the magnitude of the work
which Is going on under the lee of St. Luke's
hospital. The arch , the keystone of which
was recently fitted In place , stands HO test
high and has n span of blghty-slx feet. It Is
Insignificant compared with the cathedral
which Is being built. H Is only n bit of In
terior construction , the beginning of the
splro which will tower for -HO feet. The
Blant arch now seen Is leas than one-third
the height the topmost flnlal will rcnch
when this great temple of the Christian re
ligion Is completed.
Uy standing on lop of the arch the best
view may bo obtained or the work which
Is going on within the inclosure which
bounds the grounds of the cathedral. The
photographer Is able to make manifest the
possibilities of the work.
The plans contemplate n building 520 feet
long nnd 2 % feet across at the widest point.
The cathedral will be a cruciform church.
The trustees expect to finish the choir and
transepts In 1903 , but it Is probable that
they will not make that much progress.
The choir , which alone will cost JCOO.OOO ,
may be finished next year. The trustees do
not expect , however , to carry the task on
rapidly , for the. diocese of Now York , rich
nnd influential as It Is , cannot spare enough
of ready money to prosecute the work of
cathedral-building as though it were an ordi
nary structure.
Two decades from now workmen may be
putting finishing touches here and there upon
the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine
The ornamentation may bo carried on
through many yeare. It may bo that the
walls nnd the seven towers of the structure
will bo In place ten years from now , al
though It Is extremely difficult to determlm
the amount of time required to complete such
a work.
It Is recorded that the wise man , tnklnr
thought on the bulldlnc of a house , first
counted the cost. It la Impossible , to esti
mate the amount of money required for such
nn edifice as this , ao the prices for labor and
materials are variable quantities. The cos :
of the cathedral will be $10,000,000 , accordIng -
Ing to conservative estimates.
While the house Is being built the spirltua
llfo which Is to abide In the splendid pile I.-
developing. Services are carried on evcrj
week In the crypt , burled deep In the but
tresses of stone. The primitive church wor
shipped in catacombs and finally reared
stately temples. The life of the cathedral on
Mornlngslde Heights IH developing the same
way Within a few years hundreds will b <
telling of the days when the Cathedral
Church of St. John the Divine was Just beguu
and the faithful worshipped amid the piers
of tha giant arch.
This crypt , although it Is covered with a
Wooden roof , Is a place of worship which
appeals to the aesthetic sense. It has six
stained glass windows and the walls are
hung with tapestries which were made for
Pope Urban VII. It contains the Tiffany
chapel , a veritable work of art.

Mr. Henry Alqulet , a prominent rallroa-l
man , relates In the Memphis Scimitar the
story of a curious wreck , the facts In which
he will vouch for.
"It Is such n remarkable thing , " says Mr.
Alrjulst , "that I fear many will be Inclined
o brand It as 'pipe. ' I have been rallroad-
ng now for over twenty years and never
n all my varied experience have I seen
such a unique and complete wreck as the
one I speak of 4hat of engine 1129 of I he
Uo Grande Western. Railroad men will tell
you that locomotives seldom explode nowa
days , but 1129 did , nnd In a very peculiar
way.
way."At
"At the time this wreck occurred I was
.olding down the job of train dispatcher
at Soldier Summit , Utah , and a tough o'd
oh it was. Never been -there , I suppose ?
Veil , Soldier Summit Is a station on the
op of one of the Wnsatch divides , a bleak
and lonely place where the Rio Grande
Western has a roundhouse and a coal chute
located. At the mimmlt are long snow sheJs
covering the tracks. These sheds protect
the line from the heavy snows which fall
continually there In the winter. And It Id
only duo to this method that a train ever
gets over the mountain. On both sides of
the mountain the line winds down In a
succession of winding curves to lessen tlic
grade. Running off from the railway are
switches , which , diverging from the grade ,
run up Into the hills nnd gradually come
to a dead level. These switchbacks , as they
are called , are so constructed that they can
bo thrown from any point on ti erade.
And If n train breaks In two whllo ascending
Hie steep grade , the track can be switched
on to one of these spurs , where It finally
Htops after It has run up the spur ns far as
the momentum attained In its descent will
take It.
"All heavy trains have an extra locomotive
before the- grade Is tackled. These are called
helper engines and are kept In roundhouse *
nt each side of the mountain with Bteam up.
"One night I got word from Clear Creek , a
town In the Western valley , that the 9:20 :
freight would be thirty minutes late on ac
count of having to pull out a crippled engine ,
1129. 41 had burnt out Ita flura nnd hud to
bo hauled to Grand Junction for repairs.
"That night about 10 o'clock , after I had
passed down the Salt Lake express , I heard
Iho freight coughing up the long grade from
Clear Creek. Ihcro was a snow Htorm raging
and the wind howled around the station Mho
fury. When the overdue 0:20 : pulled Into the
shelter of the big snow sheds on the wind
swept summit the flrct thing I naked was ,
'Where's the dead engine ? '
" 'Hehlnd the doghouse , ' shouted the 'con , '
hut as I held my lamp above my head I failed
] to ace It. I was just about to call hli atten-
tl n to t w it n , du Ing n till In tbe a om , wo
plainly heard the familiar rattle of the rails
ii3 the runaway engine Mow at lightning
speed down the mountain.o. . 1129 had
broken loose and was tearing down the grade
to destruction.
"I Jumped nnd pulled the lover which
opened the npur switches. This I knew
would prevent a smnshup , as the cnginu
wculd run up on the switch-back and come
to n stop. Hut I was too late. Almost at the
faumo iiiHtnnt I throw the lover u terrific explosion -
plosion was heard from far down the moun
tain. The runaway hud exploded. "
"I thought you eald a moment ago. Mr.
Al'julit , " Interrupted thu Scimitar man , "that
the locomotive wns a 'dead one. ' If It had no
fire under Ita holler how could It explode ? "
"That WUB the only thing I couldn't under
stand"myself. . " the railrrad man replied "I
1 could easily nee how the dead engine could
break loose on that grade und I could under
stand not hearing Itn descent during cmrll a
