Houston. Tex.. Feb. IS.— A railroad acci
dent near Beaumont. Tex., rhat pave
six or seven young Giants an awful scare
caused them to miss all their railway con
nections, and as a result they had to -; ■ nd
the . -ire day and night in Houston. They
will arrive in Marlin Spring early to-mor
row morning. The men were at breakfast
when the train gave a lurch and came to
.«uch a sudden stop that dishes went flying
a!' over the dining car.
The players rushed outside . with' the
other passengers, to find that' the draw -
heads between two of the FuUrftapl sleepers
had lwn smaFh^d to pieces. Dale: who
had Jus passed between the cars, had a
narrow escape from being seriously in
jured.
The aociderit occurred in the middle of
the prairie, and the train remained there
for an hour or more. Tin- Giants were not
to escape entirely, however, for a- they
came hack to the train the car door
rlammfd and caught the end of Lush's
right thumb. He will be unable to take
part in regular practice for a week or
more.
Tho players found some consolation for
their Jong delay by getting a private
isleeper ir. which to make the journey t<»
Carlin Springs from here. They left at 10
o'ciork. and will reach tho training town
[or breakfast. They are without forms,
and there will he ik practice on the dia

The best match to-day came late in the
afternoon, when Mr. McCormick defeated
William Stackpole. of New York, in a four
game struggle. The latter gave a fine ex
hibition In th« first three games, whining
the first, but losing the next two by narrow
margins. In the final game condition told,
and he was unable to put up a stiff light.
Mr. Stackpole excelled at placing from
the short line, and it was due in a great
measure to this Kind of work that he took
the first game and forced the champion to
play his best in the next two.
The contest between Payne Whitney and
G. A. Thome was also a good one, lasting
through three hard fought games.
Much disappointment was expressed at
the failure of H. D. Scott and Percy D.

Ban Johnson Talks 'About a
Breach of Faith.
More trouble may be in store for the
owners in the National League who have
■op*,, struggling for four days to arrange
the playing dates for the coming season.
Pan B Johnson, president of the American
League, says that if the schedule accepted
by the joint committee of the two major
leagues In Pittsburg is not adhered to it
v.ill be a breach of faith. Mr. Johnson
also threatens a break if changes that are
not acceptable to the American League are
made. He was quoted in Chicago yester
day as follows:
"The American League will not object to
any minor changes that the National
League may make in its 154-gam<? schedule.
The agreement reached by the Joint sched
ule committee of the two leagues at the
Pittsburg meeting Is binding on both
schedules, but we will waive that right to
scmi> extent.
"I wish to repeat that the two 134-game
schedules decided upon by the committee
were the best that the two leagues have
had since they have been working together
on the dates. If the National League
makes any change? thnt are not acceptable
to the American League, and persists in
keeping them, then we will consider our
agreement at an end. We are not looking
for trouble, and that rests entirely with
the other league.
"Some rime ago r advanced the plan of
having the two srhedv.les drawn up by the
presidents of the two circuit?, with the
third member of the national commission
acting a? an arbitrator. The schedule
adopted In this manner shottld be binding
on both leagues, and thus all the trouble
that the National League had this year
would be a voided.
"If the National league wishes to change
the teams that they would have in Chi
cago in opposition to the American League
Club we will make no objections, but if
the schedule accepted by tlr> committee? ar
Pittsburg is not adhered to in the main it
will be a breach of faith."
The board of directors of the National
league met last night, and after a two
houx session decided that it had jurisdic
tion iii the Murray case and grave the
Philadelphia club fifteen days to explain
why Murray's contract was broken. The
Philadelphia club's answer wili be sent to
President Lynch, who will forward a copy
to each of the five directors. If will then

shall be called or whether a mail vote shall
be taken

Threats were made to-day against Sheriff
Fred D. Nellis for the killing of Alexander
Halllday and the wounding of four other
men by deputies in beating back the mob
that attacked the Jail last night in an at
tempt to lynch John Pratt, a negro purse

vents any open demonstration.

than fourteen years. He will be taken to
prison to-morrow morning with twelve
other convicts in a special train. Lincoln
Wilson, arrested as a suspected companion
of Pratt, was released for lack of evidence.

of ex-Mayor T. W. Halliday, was shot
through the neck. He lay on the ground
near the courthouse porch nearly thr«»«

GOOD TIMES AHEAD— SCHWAB
Thinks March Will Witness Buying of
Steel on Big Scale.
rharie* M Schwab, president of th*
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, is conserva
tively optimistic over the steel situation.
Speaking yesterday of the outlook in the
trade he said: £
"There is reason to believe that March
will witness the resumption of steel buying
on a large scale. In the East business in
terests seem confident that the prosperity
we are now enjoying will continue with
out Interruption for some time to come.
There has been a falling off in steel order-"
since the first of the year, but over the
last week ST SB there ha.-* been an im
provement. January and February cannot
be taken a." a barometer of future steel
conditions, due to the fact that there is
generally a shrinkage in new business dur
ing that period."
Mr Schwab expressed the opinion that
the capacity of the steel mills of. this
country would be Increased by ten million
tons by the end of th« next ten years.
•'The amount of new steel construction
under way »l the present time Is large."
tie fait! "but considering depressed as wvil
as prosperous periods, the average in
crease tn capacity over the next ten years
should be at least one million tuns i year.
In the year 199 the United Suite." should
be in a position to produc- dose to forty
million tons of steel. The consumption of
steel Is growing at an enormous rate, ami
the new .steel construction under way sim
ply means that producers are endeavoring
to keep pace « itn th« demand."

representatives of the grain markets of th *

Time in the last twenty years.
"In what way would you sa obliged to
readjust your business in future trans

man.
"There would b-? chaos in the bushy**»
