YoitK , Oct. 14. [ Six-cinl Telegram to
the Ur.K. ] The first game In the cast for the
tvorld's ccamplonshlp between tlio Detroit
and St. Louis clubs was plujcd nt Washing-
tpn park , Urooklyn , to-day. There wore
JDXW ( spectators. The weather was very
chilly. When the teams appeared on the
llold they received a wclcomu and enthusias
tic plaudits In turn , although It looked ai
though the people rather favored the League
team. As Urooklyn Is an association city ,
thin nlgn could not bo accounted for , except
In the explanation that perhaps the townsMen -
Men were not altogether pleased that the St.
Louis tnnn should huvo attained suco a pro
nounced lead In the race with their fellows.
OJtio spectators were not altogether satisfied ,
for the game In a large majority of the inn-
lugs was of the mechanical order. If over
the stereotyped phrase , "It was a pitcher's
battle , " could be appropriately used , it wius
in rCanl ( to to-day's game. The Holding er
rors were so unimportant that of the seven
rune made six were earned. One error that
counted was niado by "Deacon" White at
third In the seventh inning. Score :

A NOVKIj SUIT.
A DlHpntc Hotwceu Physicians HH To
Where They Shall Practice.
ST. JOSBMI , Mo. , Oct. 14. [ Special Tolo-
grum to the BKU. ] There was argued before
Judge Spencer , of the circuit court , to-day
the most novel suit ever brought in the state
of Missouri. Last Saturday Dr. Moses Mar
shall , a prominent physician living in Euston ,
filed papers enjoining Dr. G. U. Campbell
from practicing In a prescribed territory.
The facts In the case which led to the suit
arc as follows : About four years ago Dr.
Campbell , n resident of New York , after
graduating In an eastern medical college ,
moved to the llttlo town of Easton , this
county , and engaged In the practice of medl-
clno. In a short time he had built up an cx-
tenslvo nndJucrativo practice second to no
physician In the county. For some reason ho
decided to move to Kansas and at once agreed
that if Dr. Mosca Marshall , also a recent col
lege graduate , who was then practicing in
this cit5" , would buy his property nnd pay
him a bonus for his practice , ho would sign
an agreement binding himself noverto return
to Huclmnan county again to follow his pro
fession. Dr. Marshall , who had lately mar
ried in Eastou , upon the earnest solicitation
of his wife and father-in-law agreed , the
property was bought , the bonus paid and the
agreement signed and Dr. Campbell moved
away. About ono mouth ago Dr. Campbell
returned and the plaintiff in his petition avers
that he is trying to regain his old practice.
To day the case was called Up and the tem
porary injunction was tried and sustained
and the case will bo called up November 4 on
its merits. All the physicians in the city
were present nnd nothing could bo heard in
the court room but "Our cede of ethics , "
"Professional courtesy , " and similar ex
pressions , on which that profession seems to
have a corner. The case is the only ouo on
record where ono physician seeks to pro
scribe by law the territory in which another
shall practice.

The Friend Sensation.
FKIK.ND , Neb. , Oct. 14. [ Special to the
BEE ] Quito a sensation was created in our
usually quiet town yesterday morning about
4 o'clock.
There has lived in and around Friend for
quite a number of years a German by the
name of Ferdinand Arndt. Ho has figured
in our local and district courts quite often.
Some three months ago ho tried to shoot bis
divorced wife. For this offence bo was t
rested and gave bonds for his appear anco at the
district court. Court is now in session nt Wilber
and Anult failed to put in an appearance ,
and yesterday the jtulge declared the bonds
forfeited , but sent a deputy sheriff to bring
Arndt to court. The deputy arrived there on
the night train , and procuring the services of
Constable Dillon , they proceeded to the
house occupied by Arndt , to arrest him and
take him to Wilbor to-day. They knocked on
the door and he did not respond to their call.
They finally broke in the bouse , knowing
that he was there. Constable Dillon hud no
sooner entered than ho received a revolver
shot through the hand. As soon us the dep
uty sheriff heard the firing
of the revolver , he took leg bail
for security. Mr. Dillon was unprepared for
such a reception and was not armed. Arndt
bad possession of the foit and proposed to
hold it. Dillon secured a posse of citizens
and proposed to tnko Arndt at all hazards.
Two men armed with shot guns told him to
surrender , and his reply wua a shot from his
revolver. As ho raised his revolver to shoot
again one of the men shot his hand and one
of his fingers so that bo dropped the revolver ,
but picked it up with his loft and fired awuy
again. After a while ho got
the drop ou ono of the men aguin
and once moro a man with a shot gun told
him to drop it , but ho did not until ho wus
shot in the arm. That dazed him for an in
stant when the man rushed in and took his
revolver from him and took him to the cooler ,
where be now is. Arndt fired ten shots
from his revolver. He had a box of cart
ridges with him. The house where the shoot
ing took place looks like a deserted fort. The
doors und windows nro all broken in. If
Arndt gets his just dues ho will go to the pen
for a number of years. Report says that ho
is a fugitive from justice , having killed his
brother-in-law in Germany and escaped from
there after serving about three years in the
penitentiary.
Ho was taken to Wilber in the afternoon.

ANOTHER DOUBLE TRAGEDY ,

drew's AVoiind Fatal A
llrakcmuii llniily Hurt.
Dashed to Death.
Lust night for tlio second time In two
weeks two human beings were at the
name time robbed of lifo through the
medium of an ungino in the limits of
the city of South Omixlm. The fatality
of last night wns not surrounded with
the siul circumstances of the first , but
waa no less horrible , and the city was
thrown into such a furore as nothing
short of a terrible accident could create.
The men who met their fate ,
II. W. Rice and William Wickmoyor ,
were for woino time residents of that vi
cinity and were well known. The acci
dent occurred near what is known as
Savage's crossing in a cut about three-
quarters of a mile north of the depot.
The men had boon in Omaha and were
walking buck. When they reached
the point referred to , they were mot
by a north bound freight and stopped
out of the way onto the other track.
The noise of the approuching freight
prevented them from hearing the 0:15 :
dummy bound for South Omaha , which
struck nnd throw thorn about sixty feet ,
where they fell ono on each side of the
track.
%
The engineer immediately stopped
the train , but when it was found that
both men were dead the dummy pro
ceeded to South Omaha , where the au
thorities were notified of the
accident. Two policemen who
were on the scene took charge
of the remains. Both men were lying
with their faces on the ground and there
was much conjecture as to their Iden
tity until the arrival of the marshal ,
who changed their positions BO that
their features could bo seen , and then
Rico was positively identified by those
who worked with him on the grades
near the city. No ono Hoomed to know
the other man until a parly claiming to
bo hib brothor-in-law said his name was
William Wickmeyor and his homo was
in Corning , la. The previous residence
of Rico waa not known , but some claimed
ho wua from DCS Moines , la. The body
of Wickmeyor was the most mutilated ,
the scalp and crown of his head being
torn oil and his brains protruding from
the aperture. Both of his legs were
alho broken near the ankles. Rico's
body was free from injuries and it ap
peared that he died solely from the ef
fects of a crushed skull.
Nobody saw the accident except the
engineer and fireman. The former said
he saw the two men when the engine
was about ten feet distant and tried to
stop , but could not until they were
struck and his train had passed thorn
about thirty feet. ' When he. went back
Wickmeyor was dead and Rico , though
still breathing , expired in iv few mo
ments.
Rico hud been in the city about six
mohtns , having been employed as a
laborer on several of the public works.
Wickmeyor hud been working in
Fowler's packing house up to Thursday ,
when ho quit and secured employment
on one of ilie street car lines in Omaha
and was going out to get his money
from Fowler's when killed.
' The coroner was notified and was
taken to the scene of the accident on a
special engine , and on examining the
bodies ho found letters proving the
identity of the dead men. A jury was
impanelled and after the remains had
buon viewed they were placed on the
engine and brought to Seventeenth
street , where they were taken in a wagon
and conveyed to the morgue. The in
quest will take place at tlio coroner's
office at 10 o'clock this morning.
A FATAh ACCIDENT.
A AVninnii Horribly Burned by a Gaso
line Stove Kxplosioii.
A frightful accident occurred at the
residence of M. S. Jaflio , in the rooms
above the Golden Rule Bazaar , corner
of Sixteenth and Webster streets , about
9 o'clock yesterday morning. The
family had just eaten break
fast and had all loft the din
ing room but Mrs. Jaflio. Her hus
band , Vho was fooling indisposed , had
*
not risen 3'et , nnd was lying in bed in an
adjoining room. Mrs. Jaflio , turning
off the flro in the gasoline fatoyo , pro
ceeded to fill the rcsorvoir with this
treacherous fluid. There was not a par
ticle of fire about the premises , but tlio
btovo was btill hot from the breakfast
cooking , and Mrs. Jalllo had filled the
basin about half full of gasoline , when
there was
wasA
A TKHUIVC EXPLOSION ,
nnd in the flash of an eye the unfortu
nate woman's clothing was saturated
with the flaming fluid.
So grout was the force of the explo
sion that the window in the front room
facing the street was blown out , and tlio
crash attracted several parties on tlio
opposite sidewalk , among thorn Chief
Gulligun of the lire department , who
ran across and up into the building.
With
A I'IKKCINO SI1UIKK
Mrs. Jufflo ran out of the dining room
into the hallway , where she was mot by
Drs. Vance and Smith and Chief Galh-
gan. The two former , at the risk ol a
serious burning , began to tear the
woman's llaming garments from her
person , while Chief Giillignn rushed
into the Jaflio apartments and
gathering up an armful of the bud cloth
ing from the bed in which Mr. Jalllo lay
ho darted back with them to the
woman's aid. lie was closely followed
by the husband , who , in his horror ,
throw his arms about his \yifo and for a.
moment retarded the efforts of the
others from oxtingui.sh'ing the woman's
blazing garments' . Jatllo's night dross
waa in Humes in nn instant , and his
Jaco and hands were horribly burned.
As Galligan and Dr. Vance wrapped the
lied clothing about Mrs. Jtillie , Dr.
Smith assisted the husband in divesting
himself of his burning night dress. In
a moment raoro and the fearful scene
was over. Mra. Jaflio was curried
into her room and laid upon
the bed , and everything possible done
to alleviate her excruciating agony.
Her limbs and entire body were burned
black , and in many places the flesh
was
L1TERALTA IIIIOILKD.
The doctor fears shots fatally burned ,
although she was not burned about the
face nor did she inhale the flames. While
she may recover , the chances are
against her. Mr. Jallio escaped with
a coublo of badly burnt hands and n
scorched back. The fire department
promptly responded to the alarm that
was turned in , but there wns no need ol f
its services.

McAndrow the bartender for Sandy
McICnight who was shot by Charles
Knox , will probably dio. Yesterday
morning the family physician was
summoned and a thorough examin
ation revealed that his hurt was of the
most alarming character , and would in
: ill probablity result in death. Internal
licmorrngo and blood jKiis-oning are both
apprehended. The ball was carefully
| irobed for , hut not found. It made a
nigged hole in the left chest , and peno-
Irated , it is feared , the upper lobe of the
lung. With the best of care and nurs
ing the doctor thought that MoAndrow
might possibly bo carried through all
right , but tlio result was extremely
[ irohlomutlcul. Owing to his condition ,
the preliminary hearing of Knox , the
murderous mulatto , was > continued until

Charged With Attempt to Kill.
A couple of days ago Charles Ander
son and Gustof Norolius , two workmen
in Johnson's brick yard near Prospect
Hill cemetery , got into a row , and An
derson struck Norolius several times
with fragments of bricks. None of the
wounds at the time were thought to bo
serious , but yesterday it was discovered
lhat Norolius' skull was fractured and
that ho was in a critical condition. A
warrant was thereupon issued for An
derson's arrest , charging him with as
sault with intent to kill. It was served
by Constable John Hawkinson yester
day , and Anderson was taken into cus

WHEN GOULD WAS POOR.
How He Lost llin Tannery Thirty
Years ARO.
The news that the Western Union
Telegraph company has swallowed up
the Baltimore & Ohio organization , and
the fact that Jay Gould is the head and
front of the latter company recall to
peonlo hero the time , less than thirty
years ago , writes a Wilkesbarro , Pa. ,
corresyondent , when Jay Gould was a
bankrupt and practically penniless
neighbor. Stanley Woodward , addi
tional law judge of the courts of this
county , was the receiver of the firm of
which Jay Gould was a junior member ,
and which for some years prior to 1801
had a tannery nt Gouldsboro , in Buck
township , then in this county , but
now in Liackawanna county. The neigh
borhood was primitive at that time , a
little clearing surrounded by dense for
ests , and it is Btill prolty much the
same. Zadoc Pratt , a well known tanner
in Now York , sent Gould there. The
tannery was located about six miles dis
tant from Gouldsboro station and the
hides were hauled to and the leather
from the tannery over a plank road
built for the purpose. Loupp , Lee & Co.
were importers of hides in Now York.
They brought largo quantities of hides
from Buenos Ayres and sent them to
Gouldsboro to bo tanned , and Jay Gould
superintended the process and kept the
accounts. For a time the affaire of the
partnership moved along swimmingly.
Then the partners quarrelled and in a
little time the dispute became very bit-
tor.
tor.Actual
Actual war followed. Leo organized
a force of daring men and marched
upon the tannery. Gould had also or
ganized a force and hold the tannery ,
which ho had strongly barricaded in an
ticipation of the attack. Leo demanded
capitulation. Gould refused. A hot
conflict ensued , in whfch notonly sticks
and stones , but rifles and bullets were
used. But Gould held possession. Sub
sequently all were arrested. Then pro
ceedings were begun on the equity side
of the court for a dissolution of the
partnership. Loupp , Lee & Co. wore
ropresontated in the suit by Evarts ,
Southmayd & Choato , the head of the
firm being the present United States
senator from Now Yoek. Gould's at
torneys were Messrs. McClintock &
Nicholson , of this city.
It is remembered that in these pro
ceedings Gould gave many evidence of
his remarkable powers of intuition ,
rapidity of thought und promptitude in
action for which ho luui since become
famous. As in all equity proceedings ,
many affidavits t * to particular matters
were constantly being reqircd , and
Gould would sit at the table listening
to tlio lawyers on both sides discussing
the necessity or iion-nocossity for an
uflidavit , nnd by the lime the court had
decreed that it should or could bo made
it would be ready in Gould's own hand
writing. Ho would gather an under
standing of what was wanted from the
speeches and proceed immediately to
the making of it. Ho wrotg u good ,
clear hand , and very nipidly. Judge
Woodward says lie cannot recall any
other insiu'0 ; of equal quickness and
JijitUudo on the part of a client.
As a result of the suit a dissolution of
the firm was dooreod by the court and
Judge Woodward , then a young lawyer ,
glad enough of such n windfall , was ap
pointed recoiuca. Ho took possession
of the tannery , from which , however ,
nearly everything of vnluo removed.
There was about $ 'J,000 on credits , nnd
the tannery , tools , stock , horses , mules ,
and personal property generally
amounted to about $7,000 more. The re
ceivership continued through several
years before all the tangled accounts
oould bo straightened out. What re
mained at the settlement went
to Loupp , Leo & Co. , Gould's
debits amounting to moro than his
Bhnro of the proceeds. Ho was a bank
rupt nnd the best evidence that such
was the case is the fuc. lhat before
leaving , which he did soon after the re
ceiver was appointed , ho borrowed
J. Lawis Simmons , or "Lew , " as ho is
familiarly called , the keeper of the lit
tle hotel at Gouldsboro station , to help
his expenses back to Now York ,
immons is there yet , and the $5 is still
owing , though , of course , the great
speculator has forgotten the debt or he
would have returned it long ago with
irttorest.
The next his acquaintances hoard of
Gould , was that ho had boon mndo su
perintendent of a railroad in Vermont.
A little lalor ho was president of Iho
road. His career since is public prop
erty.
Years afterwards Judge Woodward
mot Gould at Saratoga. They recognized -
nizod each other. Gould told Wood
ward , In answer to the latter's question
that his stewardship had boon well per
formed.
"Then , " said the judge , joeoioly , "I
hnvo only this to ask , lhat if you should
over need a receiver again you well re
member the fnut and give mo the place. "
Gould answered with a stnilo eloquent
of his conviction that ho was not at nil
likely over again to bo nt the itiorey of.
a receiver , and it is probably safe enough
to assume that ho will at least never bo
reduced to the necessity of borrowing-ri
to pay his railroad fare on a journey in
search of a job.
It was but twenty-six years ago that
those things happened , nnd the fact
that in that short time ho has climbed
from such dire straits to the possession
of millions and the place of dictator of
practically all the country is almost as
marvellous as the wildest recitals of the
writers of fiction.
"PRINCE 0 ? THTJVES. "
nig .11 in IturiiH , AVho IMaiuiejl nit In- '
KCiilons Uobbcry in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia News : Tlio death of the
notbrious sneak James Burns , in Ham
burg , some days since , recalls the slory
of one of his boldest plans , which wan
laid against the great banking house of
Drexel it Co. , in this city , at the limit
when their olllco was at 81 South Tliird
street.
In the old building the bonds wcrx > '
kept during the day in a wooden'drawer
which was only about .wolvo inches
from any ono standing in front of
the counter , which was of wood.
"It was proposed to wait until after
noon , when tlio valuables had all been
removed and the women were scrubbing'
the offices. Ono of the "sneaks" waa
then to enter as if to write a note in u
hurry ; ho would be followed by others , '
ono of whom , while apparently leaning
against tlio counter , was to cut u hole
eight inches in diameter directly opposite - . t
site the cud of the drawer , and through
the drawer itself. This would take not
more than live minutes , and traces of '
the cutting could be covofed up in no , '
time by means ol walnut putty. The
next day , when the bonds were put back
into the drawer , one member of the
gang was to engage tlio attention of the
clerk , while another would pusli
through the detached picuoundercover
of a largo cloak , and secure a handful of
bonds. Burns was foiled in his attempt
by the fact that just as ho perfected the
scheme ho was arrested , and before lie
regained his liberty the bank had
moved.
He was baffled in another scheme in
1877 by mere luck. He and Horace
Horan , ftlias "Little Horace , " had fol-
lowejl a messenger to the Western
Savings bank at Tenth and Walnut
streets , and wore ju t about to sui/.e the
lioiuls when they were scared elY by the
entrance of a customer.
Burns , or "Big Jim , ' ' as ho was famil
iarly called , was bora in BoMon , Mass. ,
in 1810. His liberality to his pals gave
him the title of "the prince of thieves , "
and it is a well known fact that when
any of his associates were in trouble ho
contributed largely to support their
wives and children. Ho had served
terms in Sing Sing , New York and
Boston , and had an international repu
tation.
Ho escaped from Raymond street jail
in Brooklyn on Friday , July ill , 1883 ,
and since that time ho has been in
Europe. His last enterprise was the
robbery of the Voroins bank in Hnin-
burg on July 22,1883. He succeeded in
getting about $14,000. Ho was the man
who originated the "sneak" method in
the robbery of banks , the most daring
of all the schemes by which n bank is
"worked. " His associates in the in
vention of this method are now reputa
ble merchants , and have deserted their
evil ways forever.
