which a pitcher can hold the opposing team down to five base hits will be as rare and consider(' as marvellous this season as one In which a pitcher retired an opposing team with one base lilt last season "Do you anticipate any trouble with the new rules?" asked the reporter "I do not Those rulee were not formulated until they were thoroughly discussed In all their bearings by the managers and the trued prominent players in the Nolte-sloth Of coulee they will be experimental to a certain degree but they are in many respects superior to the old rules and will conduce very materially to make the contests more exciting and attractive If however after a satisfactory trial they should prove a I do not they cam be easily changed by a special meeting of the League Committee which has full power to make whetever changes may be deemed expedient" Mr Young declined to express an opinion as to which club would win the championship pennant on the ground that his position was a neutral one

city The latest movement is to bring the Dido Valley Ralirpad to Nashville and thus open up a new line and one Independent of the Louisville Nashville Road A number of gentlemen met a few weeks since at the Maxwell House and after talking over the metier agreed to write a letter to Mr Kelsey President of the road asking him what proposition he would make to Nashville As is well known the Ohio Valley is a new company which will run from Henderson Ky to Clarksville It has been built already as far as Uniontown a distance of fiftyeix miles From there the road will go to Princeton thence to Hopkinaville and thence to Clarksville At Henderson connect with several Eastern lines Following is the reply from President Kelsey to his correspondeut: "When our survey is completed to Clarke-yule we shall be able to make or entertain understandingly propositions for building Over such route as may be found most desirable If we find that we can teach Clarksville we can then make a square businesslike proposition to Nashville for an extension to that city over a route to be determined upon As soon as I have reports from our engineer I shall let you hear from me or will visit your city

That it waa preparfal with the expectation that it would be subjected to a cruelal test its tenor anti construction lodicate It contained live distinctive points It was National in that it embodied the Republican Idea of the currency tariff and educational queetions and each was presented with dignity and with a suggmtion of Statecraft It was sectional in that it aimed to strengthen the allegiance of the uegro to the Republican party and gave assurances of fraternal consideration to ex-Confederatee Its sectionalism was so conservative that neither the North nor West could regard it with suspicion yet it was calculated to disarm Sovthern elements which had always viewed him with displeasure stud cement the support of another factor which had maul-Noted signs of wavering The true object of his Southern tour wee revealed in twenty sentences A view of personality eubdued yet poeitive pervaded the addreste and with the skill of an artist he injected his participation In National events into the thread of discussion of National queetions lathe treatment of the three economic problems underlying his speech Mr Sherman was sophisticated HP evaded His conservatism which is a new phase of Mr Shertnan's character is calculated to disarm the unsuspicious and cause that- which is politic to be ascribed V) the impulse of candor He did not say whether he was for a tariff for revenue with incidental protection or whether he was for a tariff for protection with incidental revenue He did not say whether the tariff ought to be reduced or not nor did he declare in what way it ought to be reduced if at all He did not say whether the original bonds were payeble in greenbacks or coin Ile did not say whether he was the friend or enemy to silver OHe would not say whether he la for or against the excise tax He would not say whether he is for or against redeeming the public lands He would not say he was for reducing the surplus by spending the money or by reducing taxes There is differences it may be stated between the speech which Mr Sherman gave to the press for publication and that which he delivered The principal related to the late war Mr Sherman in his spoken speech charged that the war was caused by the mad ambition Stephen A Douglas ahd that the evils reconstruction were due to the mad act of Booth Why these declarations were not sent to the country is evident The Douglas Democrats of the North and West would have resented the slur upon the motives of their chiettian while the results ascribed to Booth were aimed to disarm Southern dislike of the Republican party for its deeds just after the war That Douglas and Both should be utilized as pillows to bridge the bloody chasm is a novel subterfuge scarcely worthy of a man- of such acknowledged common sense and information as Mr Sherman Viewing the speech which Mr Sherman sent the country as a whole it can scarcely fail to cement his Republicanism It will satisfy his supporters and alarm the friends of Blaine as it indicates that the Ohio Senator is not afraid to take the initiative and declare his convictions on national issues before his party has formally spoken Concerning the relation of Mr Sherman to politice In Tennessee it is now evident that he has captured the Republican support from this State One of the beet posted Republican politicians at the Capital and he was for Blaine in 1884 told me that in 1888 Sherman would have twenty-two votes in the National Convention from Tennessee The Southern tour of Mr Sherman has undoubtedly aided him in his Presidential aspirations He has made inroads on Blaine which cannot be concealed As a public speaker Mr Sherman's whole force lies in thelact that he prepares his matter and language with care an his memory furnishes both to his hand with facility as he speaks Neither his accent nor pronunciation is faultless In volume his voice Is fair but mastery of tongue is by no means perfect Now and than his tongue gets terribly tangled around a word and it is with great cultv that he extricates himself When he falls into these difficulties for the moment he seems affected with the spasmodic contortion of the most inveterate stutterer His gestures are few and simple He has an imperturbable coolness that supports Mat at oil time He has no stage fright and speaks with great ease He thinks with rapidity and Is an apt judge of human nature Of humor he has little but of logic and sophistry he Is a master AnmEIL wires bosr to the silent man in Wine th the W111111117 that his ablest foe has soundott EFFECTED BY CHANCE

this morning gives to the public the first reliable information in regard to an euterprim which has been on the tapis for some time but hitherto very quietly discussed Late this summer a bank with a capital of 2500000 will be established at Nashville MS AMERICAN gathered the facts in the natter from Judge A Milliken who has just returned from New York The gentlemen who are at the head of the enterprim are exceedingly wealthy The projectors are two Euglishmen two 'Boston capitalists and a New Yorker The Englishmen recently traveled over the entire South with the Intention of selecting a place for the location of such a bank They visited Nashville Memphis Chattanooga Birmingham Atlanta New Orleans and other cities and carefully studied the surroundings of each city At no place did they make known the object of their visit and were therefore enabled to gather all the Information desired without any embarrassment They returned to New York and made known the reeult of their tour to the three other capitalists who were associated with them and lmt week at a meeting in New York the enterprise wee positively decided upon Judge Milliken said the projectors would locate the bank here late in August or in the early part of September One of the projectors said to Judge Milliken that be thought Middle Tennessee the richest agricultural belt in the United The projectors were of the unanimous opinion that Nashville was bound to become the metropolis of the South The fact that the bank will be placed here is evidence 3uffic1ent of toe faith which actuates those foreign The influence of such a bank can be easily perceived It will prove a valuable acquieltion to the banking interest of Nashville which Is already considered the strongest south of the Ohio River Judge Milliken said that Tennessee was attraeting more attention In New York money circlet) than any State in the Union and that capital will flow into Its borders more rapidly in the near future than even the most hopeful anticipate LIFE IN WEST NASHVILLE Directors of the Nashville Laud Improvement Company held a long and interesting session yesterday afteznoon They laid out a good week's work for the committees and will meet next Wednesday to act upon what shall have been planned An important committee consisting of Dr Pierce chairman Steger IL Buttorff and Fite will be in sessions beginning at 11 a and 3 Monday and Tuesday to consider the matter of locating sites of different industries and determining upon what material aid to commend for action by the directory Advertisements in the papers and notices otherwise will be given about the times and terms for sale of lots A branch of the Safe Deposit Trust le Banking Company will be opened in West Nashville May 1 It will occupy half of the new Exchange building now In process of erection by the Land Improvement Company THE AmmmicAN will have an illustration of the building in a few It will be notable as the first structure in any business block of West Nashville and the name Exchange came last night from a source of such interest that the writer assumes it in the faith of official approval PLAN OF AVENUES AND STREETS As if in conformity to suggestions in yesterday's AMERICAN the Directors favor avenues 100 feet wide with cross streets 50 feet while every eighth street is to be the width of the avenues--103 feet The driveway of the avenues and wide streets is to be 25 feet wide while the sidewalks are 6 feet on each side avenum of trees filling In the remaining space of 63 feet Where horse or dummy railroads are to be built they will encroach on this part The cross streets are to be 50 feet wide with a driveway of 22 feet except that every eighth street is to be the same width as the avenues This is after the custom in Newport Yesterday's Banner contains this strong paragraph: "We like Dr Pierce's idea that Nashville should not allow herself to be outstripped in any line of legitimate enterprise Nashville should aspire to the foreman position in every healthy competition and with her advantages she can keep ahead if she will only make up her mind to do so The power of a community of sentiment cannot be exaggerated The people of Nashville can make Nashville all that's to be deeirect if they wish to do so If instead of croaking and discouraging by evil predictions all our citizens would have faith in Nashville's progress and would prove that faith by their works there would hardly be a limit to Nmhville's advancement When people have faith in themselves and evince a determination todo great things other people will accept this faith as a sure evidenee of success and -will be ready and eager to come in and help with their energy and their money and to share in the certain prosperity" President Norman Pierce of the West Nashville Railway reported to the directory that he had inspected the entire length of the railway under contract by Mr Rodemet and that three gangs of men of fifty each are doing rapid and satisfactory work The trestling will be commenced to-morrow by 100 additional men He expects trains to run to the West Nashville depot as has been anticipated by April 10 A amt ESTATE

the nineteenth century has staked his painted destiny Ilse nation now realizes that the speech of John Sherman at the Capitol Thursday night was the first gun of thebattle which is to decide forever his Presidential aspirations For twenty-five years he has stood In the glare of public life and step by step has tiniest forward from the throng who like him had fixed their eyes upoa the White House Time has thinned the ranks of his rivals Death has removed Grant and Logan Garfield and Arthur from the path which his ambition essayed to tread Fate has removed the imperial genius of Conkling into

die-appearance was a newspaper sensation for weeks A few weeks ago her body was found in the Wabash River In the belief that she bad been murdered by her betrothed who was also missing a Chicago 1 detective agency was called up and a bunt decided upon for both of the Green brothers The officer first found the mother of the young men who had removed to Ohio but discovered she was not in communication with her He then visited some relatives in Kentucky and while there struck a clew which led him to Texas He here got on the track but found that Green had left Denison The next clew led him to Chautauqua County Kansas This was about five or six days ago Ten days ago Mrs William Gallagher whose husband became noted as Joseph Mackin's confederate in the Chicago ballot-box frauds and is now in the penitentiary at Joliet received a letter addressed to her residence street and number purporting to come from her husband informing her that be had with great difficulty and danger escaped from prison that be was at Cedarvale Chautauqua County Kansas and requesting her to send him 200 at once warning her not to mention to any one that she had received his letter Mrs Gallagher was sorely troubled She believed the letter genuine but knowing the detectives here intended to use Gallagher as an informer against the Rock Island train robbers she gradually communicated with the agency 'Upon being convinced that notwithstanding her belief to the contrary Gallagher was certainly in prison she showed the officers the letter It was at once pronounced a fogery and the postmaster and marshal at Cedarvale were instructed to arrest any one calling for mail addressed to Gallagher Word was soon received of the arrest of a man who gave the name of Frank Deere The man's picture was sent here but not identified Just at this time the operative on the search for the Greens arrived at the county seat of Chautauqua County (Columbus) and to his great surprise found one of his men in jail for Frank Deere and Green were one and 1 the same person His picture was positively identified by citizens of Cass County and residents of Logansport Ind where he will be taken on a requisition to be tried and possibly hanged for murder The confidence game be thad attempted on Mrs Gallagher he had played for some time He would find the address of the family of some convict write a letter detailing his escape and ask for and often obtainlinoney On this occasion however his scheme miscarried and by a strange fatality has brought his neck in danger of the noose The whereabouts of the brother A

Church Sunday morning will be "A Glorious Transformation" CINCINNATI March Sherman to-night addreesed a crowded meeting of workingmett at Turner Hall He began his speech by declaring that an effort to establish a third political party could only result in injuring one or the other of the great parties without accomplishing its object The laboring man has more to hope for from the Republican party than from a new party of his own He then enumerated the services of the Republican party to the cause of labor The Republican party was organized to beat down the greatest degradation that labor ever The Republican party put into form the idea of protective tariff enacted the homestead laws it established the Labor Bureau the Agriculture Bureau the Eight Hour law and gave the country the' best financial system that it ever bad The Democrats are as honest as anybody else but they represent an idea that is incompatible with the progress and with the development of the country The great question now to be solved is how to divine the results of labor equitably between the laborer and the laborer who does the work and the capitalist who furnishes the money Labor and capital are husband and wife: they can't be divorced Some way should be devised to adjust equitably the earnings of labor and capital This problem will be solved The Democratic party will not be it They would find a constitutional difficulty in the way immediately It will be solved some a working man will solve it will be lath Republican party The clearest heads and the best minds of the nation have come to the Legislature halls from the working classes Mr Sherman then enumerated the work of the Republican Legialature of Ohio In the interest of laboring men the law requiring wages to be paid every fifteen days in cash and the anti-Pinkerton detective law and others and called attention to the fact that four of the Republican Reproofs' tatives from Hamilton County are laboring men Speaking ot labor organization be said: "Iron have a right to organize to become Knights of Labor to discuss matters to exchange views advance your interest in every honorable way you can and get the highest wages you can but strikes are detestable and are fatal to the purpose which they wish to acemplish Some better way must be devised but Capital and labor emit solve that prob lem by themselves perhaps by arbitration perhaps by co-operation At present It is an unsolved problem One problem however that is not unsolved for the work- ingman is that he can get all his rights in the Republican party better
