The electric railway companies who are now making an effort to introduce their overhead wire or trolley system In Philadelphia, will evidently r-sve a hard row to hne in sition of the- councils in that city, At a recent meeting" of tbe elec trical committee of councils there Mr, Patlon, one of the commitlee, is Baid to have expressed tbe public sentiment when discussing an ordinance granting tne western Union Telegraph company permission to lay a conduit, nnd cables. Mr. Fatton uru'ed that the company should be required to remove its poles and wires in all torritory as soon as tho cououns could be used. He carried his point and a provision to that effect was attached to the ordinance. As in Phila, delphia, public prejudice against the troney system prevails In JNew york, Boston and other eastern cities whore this form of transit has been in use for some time.

In Beverly and Danvers, adjacent to uosion, tne overhead syuem uas Deen amply tested, and has been emphatically declared asainat bv nubile vote. In Danvers the vote stood 3S4 to 121 against tne system, and in Beverly tho vole was 1.500 to 5 against the overhead wires. A similar prejudice exists in this vicinity against the trolley system. 8upt. Mead, of the bureau of electricity, gave an explanation of the prejudice which, he said, was not reasonable.

He said: ''The city quite recently found it necessary to change the position of certain wires on the South Side, which were hung too close at certain points to tho overnead wires of the electric road. The trouble and inconvenience occasioned by the change was not greet and tbe electrio road was tioing all they could possibly do to avert the danger of burning out the boxes by an accidental crossing of their wires with the fire and police wires. The conduit system for tho reception of tho wires of electric railways has notyet been brought to tbe required state of perfection. The experiment is now being tried on the Third Avenue Electric road in New York. The trouble has been that the water will accumulate in all conduits so far, and this, with the natural dampness of the ground, proves too irreat a conductor and tho power is dissipated and lost be fore it can be utilized as a Yiropelllng force.

Progress will be made by the electric railway people, and the problem will yet be solved if they are only given time for investigation and experiments. The public should not simply condemn any system as long as it is the most feasible that can be adopted until something better is discovered. SUDDENLY KILLED. An Accident Thnc Caused Superintendent Kernan's Death. Thomas Reman, the superintendent of the Clinton blast furnace, was killed in the elevator shaft at the furnace last night.

The furnace has been idle for two weeks on account of a fire that destroyed the elevator shaft. The firm was anxious to resume operations as soon as possible, and men have been at work night and day on the repairs. The elevator was to be tested yesterday, and Mr. Keanan wis on hand to inspect it. He stood on a small platform about 29 feet above the tracks, over which tbe cars are pushed on the elevator.

There was some delay in starting the machinery, and Mr. Kernan looked over the edge to learn the cause. Just as he did so the elevator started up. Before he could get out of tbe way it struck him under I thnnhin. nnd rruHheri him no-ninat t.h side of the shaft.

He was still alive when tbe workmen reached the place, but died before he could be taken home. Tbe news of the accident spread rapidly on the South Side and in a few minutes the mill was crowded with anxious friends. The body was taken to tbe family residence on West Carson street. Thomas Kernan was one of the best known and most highly respected resl dents of the South Side. He was 52 years of age and for over 20 years was superintendent of tbe furnace where ho finally met his death.

For nearly 33 years he was employed at tbe same place, lie started in a minor position, but by energy and perseverance succeeded in reaching the responsible position which be filled so well for many years. Mr. Kernan took an active interest in politics in the Thirty-third ward, and during his life held all the positions tbe voters of tbe ward could give. He rep' resented his district in both branches of councils, being a member of the select branch tor several terms, lie was also a member of the school board and the cen tral board of education at tbe time of his death. As alderman of the ward be won the respect of all by fairness and honesty.

Mr. Kernan had six children, who survive him. Alderman P. J. Donahue, of the First ward, was a son-in-law.

The coroner was notified and will hold the inquest to-morrow. A BRIDGE XKEDED. Dangerous Crossing That Can he Kernedled. A general complaint is going on- among the residents of tho Sixth ward, Alle- eheny, for a foot bridge across the Ft. Wayne railroad tracks, from tne end or Fulton street to California avenue.

The residents all realize the dangers they expose themselves to while walking across Washin gton avenue, wnere ireient trains are continually shifting down, tne tracks, and at times they are compelled to wait at least 20 minutes until long freight trains pass. They all reslize the necessity of a foot bridge and are desirous of abolishing the foot path across Washington avenue. Accidents of a serious nature have oc curred lately and some very narrow escapes have been made. The residents in the upper nart of the Eleventh ward are much interested in the foot bridge as the people in the Sixth ward. A petition is being raised by the residents ot both wards, and as soon as a sufficient number of signatures can be had will be presented to councils.

In speaking of the matter to a Press reporter last evening a resident said "It is absolutely necessary that a foot bridgo be erected across tbe Ft. Wayne tracks immediately. Loss of life or injury to persons is liable at almost any moment while walking over the tracks st such a dangerous railroad crossing, and soon as the foot bridge is placed it will save parents a great deal of anxiety, whose children aro compelled to cross the dangerous railroad crossing to attend school, and who very oiten come home ana relate stories of what narrow escapes thev make while crossing the railroad. 'We have succeeded in getting 00 names on the petition, and expect to have double that amount before presenting it to councils. A foot-bridge could placed across the tracks for at least and we feel positive that councils will tender their aid toward getting the bridgo.

"At the Washington avenue crossing peoplo are continually going over the tracts. The danger they face while so doing, and the delay at times waumg on freight trains, is evldenc enough that bridge Is needed." FOOT BALL AS PLATED CKDZB ASSOCIATION KULE4. The Eighteenth Warders do tip tho Three A's In a Close and Exciting! Game. It was a groat game of root ball yesterday afternoon at Exposition park between tho A. A.

A. team and an eleven from the Eighteenth nurd. The gume was piayed unJer the association rules, and therefore tho spectators were not troated to the sltigslns und wrestling matches they havo boon accustomed to seeing of late. While the admirers of the Kiiuby game called It Blow sport, there was no lack or enthusiasm on the part of either the crowd or the playors. The boys kicked kicked high and kicked low.

'lhy kicked each other's shins, and then tried to do the same act with the caps. Tho wind was also a mark, and some of the players pounded away at that In a manner that would have caused a ball to hang bis head in shame. Tho game was well played and was an even contest from tho start to the finish. Tho playors on Doth sides displayed much science In putting the ball ut the goal, but the LawTencsivllle boys were twice un fortunate In missing tho desired mark by a few Inches. Another time Hall got a tulr go at the ball and to tho crowd It lookofl llko a goal, hut It went too blga, much to me disappointment or tue l.awrenceviiio lollotvors.

Ttiu attendance was fair but not as large as the tfame deserved. The ladles were out as usuul, and tbey seomed toeujoythe sport immensely, remaps it was more Pleasing to tnem on account or oeing en tirely ee from any brutal exhibition.

Hall did soma good work, Lut Ch litis Kot the ball and kicked a goal. Tins did not Ulscourago the bovs from the Eighteenth ward, and when the Ave min utes were up they started In for blood and glory. Although the members have never played together before, the nulcklv learned each other's tactics and made the latter part or tlio game more interesting than the first.

Allegheny had tho hall, but for some reason seomed to havo a wild desire to keep It in the territory ot tho other team- Macpherson did some line straight out kicking, but the woods wore full of boys from Lawrencevillo, and xne oan lounu us way to inem. The play ers on both sides mado many sKlllitil huts that Drought hearty applause from tno audience. It was a difficult matter to gauxa the ball In the luce of the strong winu, ana me crowa appreciated the fact. The cawrencuvine players succeeded In getting tho ball close to the goal. There were several Interesting skirmishes In which Whitedld some good wcrk.

Finally Hall gotthe ball In the cen ter ot the grounds, and nursed ltcarefullv until within a Tew reel of the goal, then before anyone could Interfere, the ball flew Between tne Biases, ana counted one. This tied the scoro, and the excitement was high when tbe game was resumed. kicked off, anu again sue coeded In getting-the ball In their end of the grounds. Then Aleck Macpherson won tho approbation of the admirers of the Allegheny team by putting the ball near the goal.

Hut all such hopes wore short lived, ror In a lew seconds the ball was In the other end of the grounds. The play was so quick that the players on both sides could hardly realize the changes. Then there was a rush for the eastern end. Lloyd prevented a goal several times by kicking out to the center. On tho last kick Whlto got tho ball and returned It.

The ball struck on Macpher-son's hpad and' glanced off against the goal. This put Lawrencevillo one in the lead. A lew minutes later tne game was called. Although the Allegheny Athletic association team was deteated the players have nothing to be ashamed of. They played a strong game.

The score was: a. A. Lawrencovllle, 2. ONE FOR THE 'VAltSITY BOYS. Tho Geneva College Lads Had the Advantage lu Weight.

The foot ball game between the Western University eleven and the Geneva college team, at Heaver Falls yesterday, resulted In a score of 10 to 4 In favor of the university boys. In tho first half a bad pass gave tho ball to liaed, who succeeded In making a touchdown, scoring the only point for tho Geneva team. A touchdown by Cal-vert ami a place kick by Grlgws gave tbe University eleven six points. A vigorous push put the ball ovor the line again bringing the university score up to 10. Although the Geneva hoys avoragod about 20 pounds more than the University eleven, yet the latter managed to push them all ovor the flold.

TITAKSGIVING FOOT BALL. Tho Eureka and JSast End Elevens to Try Conclusions In Allegheny. The Eureka foot ball club, of Allegheny, and an eleven of tbe East End Recreation club will play a foot ball match, under association rules, on Thanksgiving day, at 2:30 p. m.

The article that appeared in one of yesterday morning's papers concerning an indignation meeting held by the congregation of the St. Joseph's Catholic church, was misrepresented according to tbe statements made by several members of the congregation to a Phess reporter last evening.

The article has caused much indignation among the people. In speaking of tbe matter last evening a resident said: "By an exact count at the indignation meetinir on Thursday evening there were only 17 people present instead of the larjte number reported, and there would not have been that many bad tbe postal card, which Informed the congregation of the meeting, stated the object of it. Father Kaufmann has been the pastor of our chutcb. for the past 15 years, and has always been very successful and much esteemed. The majority of the congregation are in favor of having tbe sermon at 8 o'clock: mass prencbed in English.

This mass is chiefly for children who do not understand tbe German lan guage at all. Therefore Father Kaufmann was perfectly right in adopting this new plan, he did cot put It into action before getting permission frotn Bishop Phelan. Several ot the promoters of Friday night's meeting called at the priest's residence and apologized to Father Kaufmann. Fitther Kaufmann was called upon yes terday afternoon, but did not wish to express himself regarding tbe matter. Ho referred the reporter tu Bishop Phelan for any information regarding his course.

a O'NEILL AND XIMICK MEET AND BtTRY TIIK HATCHET. The Terms of the Armistice Made Pobllo Gossip From Other Cities. Not After J. Palmer O'Neill's tierce arraignment of Win. A.

Nlnilck as president of the Alleineny X. L. club, the writer was very much surprised to meet these two gentle men walking arm and aim up Firth avenue last evening, and still more surprised to learn that tlioy burled the hatchet after a long conlerence. They were both reticent as to the terms ot tho armistice, but said they toad a perfect understanding about the presidency of the consoll dated club of 1S91. Just what tho result of this conference was will probably come out In A few days In case another war Is not declared, when It may bo lot out sooner.

Whatever agreement was reached ny these two Kontieinen, It Is to be hoped the clubwlllnot be the loser thereby. Mr. O'Neill loudly flaunts tho fact that he was the only man tocomo to the rescue of the local club, and tint but for his ellorts this city would have lost Its place In the National league circuit. Admitting Mr. O'Neill lias a very good Idea of his own virtues, which have been heralded far and wide from time lo time througu last season, Still It cannot be disputed that a majority of the conservative stockholders In both ciubs and ad-mlrors of the game regard hlm as an unsafe maa owing to his pronennss to spenk Drstand think afterward.

Ills Impulsive disposition has been to blame tor much of the bickerings between locai club dl-rectors, though he has been generally found free to conless a fault when shown he was In error, l'robiiblv It would be much better If both of the gentlemen named Would retire In the Interest of harmony end allow A. h. bcanarett. er-Maycr mc L'allln or Cant.

fcandrett, on tba other band, Is thor oughly posted In all parts of th huslnefi and Is one of the most conservative men In the base ball world. So long as harmony Is restored and maintained It llttlemattoi who is made president if Manager iiurn-liain Is given lull control of the club. Ho guould be held ruponsiblo and bac ked by the directors to suih an extent that the club should have an equal chance for tho pennant with all the others. Whn President isrush returned from New York, to ludlanapoils, he found him-self face to face with a movement to abolish his base ball park. The people living In Its vicinity are demanding lt3 removal.

At tho next meeting of the council a petition will be presented, signed by all the adjacent properly owners, asking for the opening of an alley from Seventh street to Ninth, between Mississippi and Tennessee streets, and to do this ill split the pai'K In twain rrom north to south. U. 1'. Schrald, of the Central Chair company, and J. S.

Duckwall, a commission man, have been appointed to carry the matter into court If necessary. The objection to the park Is that II has brought to that locality two saloons that run night and day. It is also charged that the gates are a ways open; that the rowdy element congregates thorn and that a former peaceful and cjulet neighborhood has been changed Into one that Is exactly the opposite. Fred Dunlap, late second baseman of the locai N. L.

club, writes from l'hiludelphla thus: "Noticing an article which stated I was about to be inarrlod, I write to deny it, as 1 have no Intention or so doing. I ulso wish to say that 1 am open for an engage ment to play ball for tho sasun of am In first-class condition, taking plenty of exercise, both in gymuaslum and outdoors am still in the swim, despite the fact that I was deprived of a season's practice and salary throuKh the oupllclty of others. I will snow these people noxt season that no matter what salaries may come to. who ever signs me will not be able to find any rauicwitn my conduce or hiaymg. will endeavor to play my position as It has never been played before, as It If not hard to realiz" the tact that from this tlmo out the bi-stnun wins." "Alrst those pooplecuto?" iald a veteran ball player yesterday afternoon at tho close of the toot ball game at Kxposltlon park.

They're up to all ihe tricks or the diamond. Maybe the ball players learned them from watching association foot tail gamos. The b( ys showed them how to give the shoulder, the knee, tho foot, and other little do. vlcos Indulged In by ball players to delay a runner In his progress about the bases. Ihe assaulted are expecting just such little trUks.and not Infrequently the assault er gets liio worst of It.

I know an old loot ball player who knows very little about base bail, and I havo no doubt he could give some of tho oldest oall playors pointers on tills kin 1 of rorblddun play. It does me good to see the boys throw themselves In this game. It's rough play but exciting." Captain Anson doesn't like Sunday games. Said hathe other day "I should never ror my part sanctloa Sunday bull playing. Apart from the moral effect It lidrfht nave, 1 think It would boa financial detriment to the gaiuo.

t'eopio would got into the habit or waiting until the t-uudny games to go, and the result would be empty bencnos on week days." Anson's conclusions In tills Instance ore rather far retchod, ultbough his judgmont on base ball matters is generally correct. Experience has shown that It Is not the case that all patrons wait until Sundays to see a game, but that on tho contrury Sunday crowds are In a great measure made up ot those who cannot get away ou a weekday, such as factory hands. Since his reconciliation with tJalvtn, "Me and Jim" has been (Jeorge Miller's theme of conversation. George Is authority that Jim's arm will bo In -iter toiiditliiu noxtyoar ti. ar cvir bcfro.

This Is not the first time this expression has ap- fieared In reference to Galvm, and It's ilol-jrs to doughnuts that It will not be the lust tlmo by many. George savs he will never go behind the bat at'uln, but ho would not kick very bard If Jim was to do the delivery end or the business. LYNCH WAS TALENTED. lie Could Uandlo a Knife as Well ns a llaso Hall lint. Spokane Falls, Nov.

22. Mike Lyjch, the well-known third baseman of the Spokane team, winners of tho pennant cf the North l'aclflc leaane, fatally stabbed William Fliznor at noon on the 4th while carelessly flourishing a knife. The affray took place In front of Klawitter's saloon, on the Island. According to the stories told at the saloon, it appears that the deceased had been In the place during the afternoon playing cards with some if his friends and drinking boer. At the time slatod ho was standing at the bar when Lynch and the otners entered.

The deceased and Lynch engaged In conversation, which resulted In tlielr snaking dice for the drinks, the result being that Fltzner was beaten. Tho drinks were ordered and tho men left the saloon together. In a lew minutes Fltzner came running Into the saloon accompanied by Lynch, saying: "1 am stabbed, send for doctor," after which Fltzner sank down In a chair, the blood flowing from him copiously, lis soon lost consciousness, and In few minutes. Lynch said: "1 aid the cutting. Ssnd for policeman.

I want to give uivfelf up." OfTlcer McCabe soon arrived and arrested Lynch, who was taken to police headquarters and subsequently to the county Jail, while Fltzner's oody was removed to an undertaking establishment. The victim was 4i years ot aire and married. Tho case was Inquired Into before a coroner's jury on the 6th at which the testimony was unanimous that the stabbing was accidental. It occurred during a IrlendU scuffle forthe knlfotield by Lynch aualiist whicti Fltzner fell when he supped. Tho coroner's jury, in view of the testimony, exonerated Lynch.

He Punches Hook maker Kelly for Ro- flectlnur on Ills Character. New York, Nov.

22. J. F. Caldwell has quietly submitted to abuseand adverse criticism for so many years that even his friends could not understand it when he gave way to his temper Thursday night and attacked James Kelly. Mr.

Caldwell came In for an extra share of vituperation last Tuesday at the Linden track. The jockeys whom tho starter had disciplined struck and refused to ride until tno fines imposed upon them by Starter Caldwell, lor misbehavior at the post, were remitted. Instead of the officer of the track firmly taking tho part of the starter un ruling off nil tho boys who refused to rldo. Lucius O. Appleby, one of the chief stockholders, decld to pay tho fines, lie did pay them, through John CampbslI, of the Ueverwyclt stable.

Mr. Caldwell started the horses that day at Linden, but the r.ext day, Which closed tho Lluden meeting, he refused to act as sturt- er. Ho accented the position of starter at Gmtentmrgand made no secret of the fact iliat he refused to start at Linden because ho was not treated with proper courtesy. Mr. Cladwell was chiefly offended by Ap- MPDy action Docause, no said, IE iodic away from him all semblance of authority.

the Jockeys Know well enough," he said, at the time of the occurrence, "who It Is who Is paying the fines. They know It Is official of tho club, and thoy natur ally oonciudo that the club Is not wltn me, and act as they please. 1 can have no con trol over mom, ana rxaei no oueiiience from them If they are taught that my rulings will be disregarded and the flues I Impose paid by tho officials or tho very club those tines were Imposed to protect." Since the celebrated jockeys' strike Itook-manor Kelly Is alleged by Air. Caldwell to have said that Mr. Caldwell's refusal to start the horses thereon tho last day wai duo, not to his wounded feelings, but to tho Influence of tho Dwyer brothers, who, report says, aro not friendly to Lluden.

Mr. Kelly and Mr. Caldwell melThursday night at the St. James hotel, und tho starter promptly sailed Into the bookmaker. You have been talking about me In a way that I don't like, and I went to toll you that you are a liar," was his opening remark.

"I don't care to have any troublo with you," the bookmaker answered, turning as ir to go away. "Hold on You must take back what you have said," Mr. Caldwell lnslstd, and Kelly turned to hlm aifaln. Mr. Caldwell was much excited and Kelly appeared to be exceedingly nervous.

Some onu shouted for some one else to hold the two men, but Mr. Caldwell did not give any one a chance. He ran at Kelly, struck him on tho forehead, and was proceeding to hammer him In tnu faco when the porters front the hotol office and several waiters from tho cafe ran In and separated the warriors. Kelly's hat had been knocked oil, and as he stooped to pick 16 up Sir. Culdwoll made anotnor effort to get at him.

Kellvsaton a lounge and pretended not to hear what the big man with a red face and white mustach was saying, but he did not appear to be comfortable. When he got tlrod of abusing the book maker the starter walked away, and then Kelly's friends said what they pleased aoout Mr. Caldwell.

He was riding with his wife In a closed carriage, behind two fine horses, and coming down the descent on Fifth avenue, at Forty eighth about 4 o'clock, tho pole broKe, and the horses wheeled tho carriage to the west side of the street. Mr. Caldwell opened tho door, Intending to leap out and catch the runaways, when the carriage struck the curbstone, at the cor ner ot torty-seveuth street, and tho door was torn from its binges, lie was thrown headlong Into the street.

The horses were stopped by the drlvor, how ever, with the assistance of some peoplo on the sidewalk, and Mrs. Cald well was taken out uninjured. Mr. Cald well's hands were badly scratched and he received several severe bruises upon the body. He and Mrs.

Tho firemen of No. 8 engine company think he is the best and most respectable companion they have come across for many years, and under no circumstances would they permit anybody to do him bodily harm. He is not exactly one of the company, although he has been with the men for a number of years, and knows a good deal about the place. He is not a dude, for he neither wears patent leather shoes or smokes cigarettes. He makes his appearance at the engine house every morning, steps takes a seat beside tbe Btovo and makes himself perfectly at home.

If an alarm comes in he is upon! the driver's seat on the engine before the driver gets there himself, and there he stays until he gets to tho fire. At a fire in tho East End last week Bum distinguished himself quite cleverly. An alarm of Are was sent in and Bum went with the company as usual. Ho didn't do anything until after the ladders had been placed to the second- Btory windows. Then in the twinkle of an eye be was up the ladder and in the room.

The men didn't see him for some time. Ho promptly made his ap- uearunce at the frcnt door. Ha was carrying out an old shoe. A Flourishing Order. Assistant Grand Conductor Wilkinson, of the Order of Railway Conductors, passed through the city last night on the eastern express.
