Tlio friends of Leo, tlio oarsman, who
is hurotrutnlng O'Connor for tlio Tcemor
O'Connor bout rnco oti tlio IMtli, linvo
1)cbh tnlldiig nliout a rnco botween Leo
und Hosmur. Tho hitter Is at prc-ont In
this city, plnylng with tho "Dark Secret"
theatrical company at Albaugli's. Tlio
controversy between tho friends of tho
two clmmpions as to tho roluttvo merits
of their favorites has resulted in an offer
by llosmcr to row a match with Leo next
spring. , .
As a. puarnntoo of his intention to fill
his part of tho offer, Hosmer .and his'
backers, Messrs. Jefferson and Taylor,
proprietors of tho "Dark Secret,' will
meut Leu's friends, if thoy como, at tho
Ilnrris IIouso this afternoon at 5 o'clock,
to put up a forfeit. Hosmer was scon
this morning by tin Evismi.no Post re
porter. "I am perfectly willing to row Leo,"
he said. "I havo met htm thlrty.ono
times nnd defeated lilm twenly-tlirco
times, and am not nfrahl to row a match
with him. Hut I could not row until
noxt season, as my engagement with tho
'Dark Secret" will prevent. My backers,
Messrs. Jefferson and Taylor, will btanil
by me, nnd if Leo means business ho can
Just romo over hero this afternoon nnd
put up his forfeit."
Mr. Leo and Mr. O'Connor wero found
at dinner at "Dick" Morgan's, ou D
street. On the table was it juicy and
temptingly tender looking leg of mutton,
into which heavy inroads lind already
been inndc. A stack of thick slices of
brown bread nnd a lavish supply of
vegetables completed the midday menu
of 'tho oarsmen. "You see, they don't
cat anything," said Mr. Morgan, pointing
to tlio noarly finished leg of mutton.
"Oh, wo must eat heartily," replied
O'Connor. "Wo cat n whole leg of mut
ton every day for dinner, und manago to
got away with a right hearty breakfast
and supper also."
When ask od about tho reported chal
lenge from Hosmer, Lee said:
"Well, I know of no regular challenge
I understand Hosmer will put up a forfeit
to-day for mo to cover, but 1 will not
tako any stco in this matter. I will say
this, however: If Hosmer wants to row
a match with mo let him go to somo
reputablo newspaper nnd put up $500,
draw up a challenge and I will sign
nrticlcs to row with hliu in tho season.
But I will pay no attention to anything
other than this regular way of making a
matcli."
" How about n match between you and
Hamm?"
Tho brawny oarsman paused in tho act
of giving ono of his "gut lliero" btrokes
to tlio leg of mutton, nnd balancing u
big slice of tho juicy meat on the carving
fork; oved It wistfully its lie slowly ro-
plied: inixi .i ,jr,t. .
"Wclli'I donTbeTIovo in useless talk
ing about Ihcso things. Let Mr. Hiiinm
put up his money nnd inako his chal
lenge und you will find I wont' bo out
of tlio way.
Mr. O'Connor expressed himself
well pleased with tho course over which
ho is to row and his only fear is that tho
weather will bo rough. Ho rows twito
a day nnd is in splendid condition.

der a conviction of larceny of a watch
bclonclmr to Screor Smoliahinoff.
Charles Foster, colored, convicted of
nu assault with intent to kill upon
Charles Coatcs, -was sentenced to ono
year in the Albany penitentiary. It had
been shown in evidence that lib antago
nist hnd been conducting himself In n
very aggravating manner und had been
throwing stones at him. The Court ex
pressed rearet that tbo law provided no
lighter sentence.
Georgo Fox, tho dwarfish nogro who
was convicted of tlio crime of assault to
rnpo on tho iufant daughter of Mrs.
Jano Parr, was sent to tho penitentiary
for three years. Ho Is evidently ul tho
lowest order of Intelligence, but ellorts

Mnntcomorv said that if ho were a man
of ordinary intelligence, ho would not

Bernard Carroll, a white, boy, was sen
tenced to ono year nt Albany under a
conviction of obtaining money undor
falso pretenses. He got $3 from Louisa
AVestervelt by roprcsqnting to her that
her ieo man had, broken down u wagon
and doslred the monoy as an accommodii
tlon. William Taylor, nolorod, who stole a
blooded bull from Patrick- Ryan, will be
out of temptation's way for the next six
months. Ilo will spend thut timo hi jail
and would probably havo enjoyed even
gtcater immunity from temptation had
tho jury not been of tho opinion that
blooded stock was less tluin ;;3, nml con

Nkw Ypittc, Nov. I". A Tribune
special from Pittsburg says It has been
ascertained why Hr. Hosletter left no

made a will, ono of tho bequests pro
vided for being for a lino ait gallery nnd
inaohnnlcs' hall, to bo given to tliu city
of Pittsburg, to cost a million dollars.
A few weeks ago, however, tho city
controller tooK a slop which angered Dr.
Hostcttcr no that he dostioycd tho will,
It appears that Ut. llostctter was bonds
man tor a city contractor, against whom
a judgment In favor of tlio city had been
rendered.
On that judgment the city controller
had an execution issued on somo of tho
Doctor's property. Tho Doctor felt that
undue linsto was used, us hu was good
for tho amount and would havo puld It
without thu necessity of an executiun.
Thu controller's action so offended the
Doctor that ho went to tlio safe deposit
company where he had deposited tho will
and tmo it into shreds, nnd up to tho
time of his death ho could not bo in
duced to mako nuolher.

ENLISTED FOR THE WAR,

THEIR ASSOCIATION ENTERS PROTEST.

i) tho
Tho ndvlco recently given tho Com
missioners by tho attorney for the Dis
trict that tho people of South Washing
ton should bo allowed to paddle their
own canoe In tho tight upon the steam
railway tracks does not appear to lie rel
ished by tho residents in that section of
tlio city. They think that tho attorney
for tlio District should look out for tho
interests of the people of thu District.
This morning a delegation of South
"Washington citizens presented the fol
lowing to tho Commissioners;
"In the interest of tho citiens of
South Washington, and acting for tlio
South Washington Protective Associa
tion, wo aro constrained to nsk your hon
orable body if ll Is your Intention tu pro
ceed against tlio B. & P. H. if. Co. for
violation of tliu law. Over n month ngo
ii delegation fiom tho association called
to protest against tho railroad company
lor mitiuiiig a ireigiit depot on tt puoiio
nlloy in square '103, unit forcrosslng D
street with ils tracks to outer said tenure,
all in violation of tho law. You o.vam
ined tlio records of your ofllco and was s,o
far convinced that siioh was tin1 case that
you referred tho matter to your attorney
for his opinion.
"About two weoks ago ho sent ybu a
written opinion, which stated that tho
acts of the Kallroad Company iu both
instances wero in direct "violation
of the law; ho advised you at tho
same tlmo ngalnst forcing tlio llail-toad-Company
to comply with tlio law.
One of tho reasons advanced was be
causo he was weary of fighting tliu Bail
road (Jo., and another, that he did not
think it good policy on your pajt to get
into a content with them, even to protect
tho citizens of South Washington against
tho oiicroacltmentsnf this coiupnny, who
me, admittedly, violating tho law.
"lour attorneys advleo was tliaj, tlio
South AVashlngtoii jieoplo should omploy
their own counsel to proscenia their
rights, and that In faeo of tho fact that
ho gets n Intgo salary to defend tho citi
zens agninst all violations of law. Ilo
also slated how in his opinion tho South
Washington Association people could
proceed against the railroad company,
as well as how the railroad company
could bnfllo them iu that proceeding.
Ho took it upon himself to give you his
opinion of the South Washington Pro
tective Association, in paiticulnr, and
the South Washington people In gen
eral; he called tho former a syndlcato
nnd spoko of the latter as carrying ou an
endless war with tho railroad company,
all of which seems not to meet approval.
"His opinion in this icgard wo ocllovo
wns entirely gratuitous and unenllcd for.
Wo think this total dlsregaid of law by
tho tallroad company a serious matter,
and ono that requires prompt action on
your part. Wo lira certainly entitled to
your, protection,-nutl wc earnestly hope
that when proceedings aro Instituted tlio
'cnso'Wiil not be conspicuous fd'r masterly
Inactivity on tho part of those whoso
duty it is to protect tho interests of tho
people.
,"Wu aro enlisted for tho war, and feel
that if tho weariness spoken of by your
attorney should spread and become epi
demic, it will not reach tlio South Wash
ton Association; thoy will always be
found giving an active nnd energetic sup
port to tho guardians of our rights. An
earlv roply is solicited.
"Yours respectfully,
"N. II. Shea, Ohalrmain; David Mun-
I'ltY, .1. HAiinthOK Johnson, 11. 1).
DO.S'XAM.Y, Ct Ul."
Commissioner Webb states that no
such alloy exists in this square, becauso
tho condemnation of it was illegal.
3lr. Shea said td an Hvuxisa Post ro
potter: "Tlio feeling in South Washing
ton is vcrv strong against this disposition
of tlio railroad to override tho law. Wo
think tlio Commissioners havo been very
negligent in tho matter. They found
thnt tlio railroad hud violated the
law. yet they look no action
against thorn. There is much feeling
against tho attorney for tlio Commission
ers in advising them not to mnko tlio
fight, but let till) citizens do it. Wo look
to tho Commissioners as our natural
protectors."
"What will you do if no attention is
paid to your last ntotestV'
"There ato authorities higher. than the
Commissioners."
