Yesterday's Base Ball Gaines Other Sporting Notes of In-- I terest, Ed Smith, the Denver pugilist has usked Parson Davies to postpone tho match with Peter Jackson for oue week. The Parson has consented to do so not having a team of , mules to hitch to Smith in order to draw him into the ring. It was to he expected. Smith doesn't want to fight, ho is just looking for a little notoriety. Tho press re-ports mention him now quite regularly and in consequence he is satisfied. Not content however with his success in tho Jackson challenge ho tas even challenged George God-frey the colored png who de-feated Patsy Cardiff a few nights ago. Why don't he challenge Sullivan, Australian Billy Murphy is doing lots of talking those pleasant spring, days. Ho offers to box Cal McCarthy and George Dixon on tho same night. Dan Daly has been in Omaha trying to get up a fight with Jimmio Lindsay, but Jimmie doesn't want to fight either. When it comes to talking, however, a pugilist can discount a member of con-gress from Georgia. HACKS AT THK TABU. Some Nportlnsr Kvent Which Took IMace Yesterday.

PRETTfHTRTLE FOUND The Vanishing Young Lady Who Was Abducted Two Weeks Ago Found at Ogdon. SHE TOOK EEFUGE IN HOT BATHS. A Most Peculiar Abduction Case in Whioh the Alleged Abductor is Rearrested. Tho whereabouts of Pretty Myrtle Wellington, tho charming seventeen-year-ol- d blonde who was abducted from her home, 025 South Ninth East street, a fortnight ago, are now known. The mystery surroundiug the sti auge disappearance of the young woman is j about cleared, and now there is not much of a mystery to it. Myrtle was in Ogdon and is in a priv-ate room, where she luul been visited nearly every day by her alleged abduc-tor, Henry Hotlhoiiner, tho local agent for the Anheuser-Busc- h brewing asso-ciation. Notwithstanding the fact that i tho police and detectives, who ' wero furnished a description of tho young woman aud given photo-graphs of tier, Myrtle, according to their story, was seeii on tho streets of fcalt Lako and also at theaters aud i other plac4es of arauserueot. These and other stories of the girl's whereabouts were reported to the mother; but as a matter of fact Myrtlo was taken to Og-den on the night that she was enticed from home by Clarence Eberly, a car-penter, who at one time boarded with tho Wellington family, and has been iept in that place ever since. r.-- j i.. i u.. ....v.i:.. on what was going on, and about 6 o'clock Myrtle, it is claimed, was tele-phoned to make her escape or she would bo arrested. She immediately left tho Lincoln house, a boarding plaee, aud went to tho Hot.Springs, "north- - of Ogdon. When Mrs. Wellington and tho stranger ascertained that she had goue, a deputy United" States marshal by tho nanio of "Brick"" Bowman was told of tho escapade and the girl M as found early this morning in a bod at the springs. She was alone, it is said, and after finding that hor scheme had been thwarted, she gave up, and at noon came back to Salt.Lako, with her mother. ' Both went before the grand jury, and the evidence was so startling that Hoff-heini-was rearrested at 2 o'clock and taken before United States Commis-sioner Greenman who increased Hoffhcimer's bond from $1000 to H000. At present the alleged kidnapper is rustling for sureties in company with a deputy marshal. His preliminary hearing will bo had Tues-day morning at 10 o'clock. It will most likely bo a an interesting ami peculiar case. Tho girl's conduct is exceedingly strange, and will only be ferreted out by a trial. Hoffheiroer, it is asserted, slated this morning that he would marry the girl, and as she and her mother are not that way inclined, some of his friends now come to tho frontrand say that the girl, through Hoffhcimer's generosity to keep her from any disgrace, was sent away. Judge Powers stated late today that tho defense would prove that the girl was not abducted; that she ran away from homo of her own accord on ac-count of not being able to get along with tho family. The prosecution which is in tho hands of Lawver Critchlow, is exceed-ingly quiet, llo claims that there has been something terrible divulged, which he told tho commissioner could not yet be made public. And tho plot deepens. tion of the facts regarding the abduction, tho girls whereabouts would not now bo known. Last night's Times was the only paper that gave a description of the missing girl, and an Ogdeu rnan, whose occu-pation is that of a gambler, read it shortly after 4 o'clock. It struck him that a young woman who acted very strangely aud who kept herself within her room most of tho time, had apart-ments in tho same block us that in which lie zoomed. As The Times gave Mrs. Wellington's i residence on South Ninth East street, the man jumped on a ear und went to tho place. He met Mrs. A. D. Welllng-- , ton, mother of Myrtlo, aud Mrs. L. F. Boj'nton, a sister of the missing girl, lie told them of his mission and said that he thought tho Strang" woman at Ogden might bo Myrtlo. The man was stranger and just as he was shown into the parlor a largo water color pic-- 1 turo of tho young woman struck his gaze. "That's her," he exclaimed iu great jexcitomcnt. "That is a picture of her. She is in a private room iu Ogdon." This was a great surprlso to the fam-51- and in Mrs. Wellington's joy, she and hor married daughter, Mrs. Boyn-ton- , forgot to ascertain the name of the jnan who brought them the good news of the missing daughter's whereabouts. After two weeks of mental anguish and worrlmcnt of her daughter's strango disappearance, Mrs. Wellington was at once made a happy woman. She im-mediately took a train, accompanied ly the stranger from Ogden, and shortly alter S o'clock they wore on their way for that placo. Mrs. Wellington bad not returned this morning, out Mrs. Boyn ton expocts her and Myrtle in Salt. Lake this afternoon. ' To got at tho facts in the case a re-porter for Thk Times called at the Wellington residence this morning. He met Mrs. Boyuton, an elder sister of Myrtle, who practically detailed tho I above facts. y "Do you believo that your sister left homo of her own accord, or do you think sho was enticed away by lloff-heimer-asked the reporter. "I know sho didn't loavo on her own will," replied the woman. "lam al-most positive that sho was enticed from homo. Myrtlo nover did liko Harry Hoffheimor, or at least sho never would consent to marry him. If sho had loved him, mother would never have , permitted a wedding. He has always wantcil to marry Myrtlo and ept company with hor a great doal. Myrtlo had a fancy for him, but who never loved him. She told mo every-thing. Ho is a man that dresses well and spends lots of money, and that's why Myrtle liked to be with him. She saw that ho was liberal and generous with his money and all young girls have an idea that a man of that kind is a great swell. 'Hoffy' some time ago boarded with us when mother run tho Dovoreaux house, and ho was taken sick. He would permit no one to wait iipou mm out ivi.yi uc, uun war uckcicu her, as sho thought it was mighty nice to bo loved that way. Mother iinally ' had to tell him that sho did not want him as a boarder. Ho left and has been calling at tho house and taking Myrtlo to entertainments ever since. He has always been attached to licr, but Myrtlo did uot return his utl'eo-tion- It would be no match, anyway. Ho is 30 years of ago and is quito gay, while Myrtlo is only 17. "The reason I havo for thinking that Hoffhoimer got hor away is that he and Eberly were friends, and that neighbors saw Eiberly got her into a hack which slopped at tli o corner of Sixth South ami Ninth East streets on the night Myrtlo disappeared. Eberly called early in tho evening and remained about an hour. Myrtlo followed him to tho door and they wero there about iiftecu minutes. Mother and myself wero plaving cards until about 11 o'clock. "When wo stopped wo missed Myrtlo, and thinking she had just stepped out to a neighbor's wo thought nothing of it. We waited for hor some time and then wo became aroused for a few moments. Mother then suggested that perhaps Mvrtle had gone to the re-sidence of Maleu, whose wifo was ill and whoso family wo are quite intimate with. The next morning when she did not return we did not know what to think abuut her strange disappearance. I went to see Mr. Eberly about uoon the sumo day and ho told me he had not seen or heard of her siuco ho left her at the door, but from other parlies wo learned that ho had said sho was perfectly willing to go aud that sho . had a wrap aud shawl. Then we sus-- ceted something and reported tho latter to tho police and detectives. The newspapers havo accomplished more for us than all other sources. I havo I icon told that Hotl'hcimer has had out-house shadowed to seo who came aud went away from here. Ho will soon find out that there is no black-mailing about it. It will be to his sor-row, for he is a scoundrel; and 1 told mother so the first lime I ever laid eyes on him. He looks like a sneak and is not to be trusted with an innocent girl." Later developments this afternoon show that Myrtlo has been found. She is now. at her home. Her mother and the stranger arrived in Ogden last night ul 7 o'clock, but the girl had flowu. It neems that Hoflheimer was kept posted FOKGKKY AND 1XIOIIT. Downfall of Prominent Tenneeeaii. Memphis. Tenn., May 10. About a week ago John S. Cross, a member of the real estate linn of Cordos & Cross, of this citv, left Memphis for Lexington, Ky., near where he has relatives. Iho purpose of his trip, as stated by him in confidence to his partner, was to get money to pay certain debts ho owed the firm. Ho did not return on the day he said he would, and today his partner, V. A. Cordes. filed a bill m chancery against him, praying for an attachment on all of his property for claims aggregating about $4000. The filing of this bill set people to talking, and those who had had business deal-ings with Cross began making investi-gations about the genuineness of the signatures appearing on the backs of notes signed by him and negotiated dur-ing the last twelve months. It was de-veloped that Cross owed about $38,000, tho major part of whioh was se-cured on the forged signature of his kinsman, W. A. Faires, a wealthy dealer in live Hock. Cross came to Memphis about three years ago and eugaged in the real estate business. Ho drove a fine horse and handled large sums of money in a free and easy stylo that inspired tho belief that he whs a financier of the first water. Ho bought a note book and with tho contents thereof bought land. Notes were easy to write out aud Faires and others had sufficient confidence in his ability to indorse them. Finally he quit asking for indorsements. Ho had a familiarity with Faires' signature that made it unnecessary to trouble the owner to spread it on the back of a note when ho could do it so well that tho bank cashier could not tell the difference. He married Miss Hallie Faires, a niece of tliostockdealer, about eighteen months ago, and his connec-tion with his wife's unelo was so well known that all suspicions were allayed, lie lived in elegant style, and a few months ago completed a residence that cost $12,000. Ho paid for it with two notes for WIOOO eaeii, lmiorseu in tho name of W. A. Faires. No one knows whether the indorsements are genuine, but it is known that Cross conveyed to Mr. Faires twelve suburban lots for $1,000 each, about the time the notes fell due. The Security bank of thh city holds a note for $1,100 nego-tiated with it by Cross and indorsed "W. A. Faires." It is a forgery., The Union and Planters' bank has another for $485. with the same indorsement, inent. Henry ('raft has one of the same sort for $1,100, and Levi Carrison one for $U40, and the returns are only beginning to come in. Cross had a half interest in $200,000 of stock in the Alabama Asphalt Oil and Mineral company, whioh was attached today by Cordos. An overwhelming faith in the value of this stock, and a consequent desire to plav the horses, buck faro and put on style, are supposed to have led to his downfall. No warrants have been sworn out against Cross, aud it is thought likely Kentucky relatives will settle his affairs by paying what ho owes. His wife is a young and beauti-ful woman, uud is prostrated with grief. CARLISLE'S CONDUCT. He Apper at Het' Foueral Bwutly Intoxicated. Washington, May 10. Perhaps no public man has been so shielded from notoriety in his unfortunate weakness as Mr. Carlisle. His amiable character has mado him very popular. There has been a disposition to let his lapses pass without comment. Time after time the country has been informed that Mr. Carlisle was kept from his place in the house by illness. Strict ac-curacy would have necessitated a different explanation. But his conduct at the Beck funeral was such that it could not bo over-looked. Democrats speak of it with somo indignation and more regret. They can not understand how tho lost his self control at such a time as tho funeral of a Senator from his own State. It has loug been an open secret that but for his weakness Mr. Carlisle would havo been appointed to a plaee on the supremo bench by Mr. Cleve-land ana now it is said that his con. dition at the Beck funeral will probably cost him a scat in the senate. Ken-tuckia-are not usually thiuskinned about the use of intoxicants. But to show tho effects of drink so palpably and on such an occasion is to commit an ofl'euso not easily overlooked. Even tho Kcntuckians admit that Mr. Car-lisle has acted in a very unfortunate manner. It seems paradoxical, but it is a fact that the severest criticisms passed upon the are to be heard at the high-tone- d drinking re-sorts most patronized by statesmen. The New York Press of Wednesday has the following, which, perhaps, puts tho condition of Mr. Carlisle somewhat worse than it really was. It was bad enough: "Those who oppose the choice of Carlisle as successor to Senator Beck are working for all it is worth an unfortunate incident that occurred at the funeral. Mr. Carlisle was a mem-ber of the house committee on arrange-ments for the Beck funeral, but was so indisposed that ho was unablo to par- - tioipate. While tho services were in progress, however, the Kentucky leader, despite the efforts of friends to keep him at home, staggered into tho senate chamber ana fell into a seat. He ap-peared dazed and utterly oblivious of the ceremonies. In getting into a car-riage bound for the depot ho tumbled to tho pavement and, had not assist-ance been at hand, must have suffered serious injury. In attempting to board the funeral train Mr. Carlisle fell no less than three times, finally dropping heavily to the platform. He was helped to his feet aud placed in the care of friends. Admirers of McCreary, Buck-tie- r, and other applicants for Beck's seat, say the occurrence has ruined Carlisle's chances for the senate." Tha Clearings. The clearings of the associated banks today were $238 806, with a balani e of $81,639. Tho clearings for the week were $1,733,0C5. A Prleat Dle. . New York, May 10. Rev. Father Keegan.

Mary Edna Hill Gray Dow of Dover N, II., is the first woman to be elected president of a street car com-pany, She comes of Turilau stock, graduated with honors at the Boston High school taught at St. Louis and took part in amateur theatericals with Nellie Grant with groat success. Sho married Goorgo Gray, an editor of Dover, wrote editorials, made advertising con-tracts aud managed a job office. She took fust premium twice at the New Hampshire state fair for best jellies aud canned fruits, for tho best brown and white bread and butter, for imported French Houdon and buff Cochin fowls, for best darning, for the greatest num-ber of patterns of tatting, crochet edg-ing and lace aud for the best varieties cakes and hustings. She has always been a very skillful cook and has given lectures on cooking. Mr, Gray died, und after five years bis widow married Dr. Dow, ono of the leading physicians of Dover. They lived abroad several years. On their return Mrs. Dow took the management of her husband's property, as well as her own. Among other securities she owned somo shares in tho Dover City street railroad. Tho accommodations of the railroad aud the dividends were meagre, while the expenses and the faros were high. The stockholders were dissatisfied, and in the summer of 1884 a Boston syndicate started in to buy up the road. Thev offered Mrs. Dow a third of what she had paid for her shares, aud this set her thinking. The resulting of her meditations was that at the annual meeting of stock-bo.d-s Mrs. Dow surprised everybody by showing that she had acquired con-trol of a majority of the shares, and elcctod hcrsslf president of tho com-pany, Then she began to introduce reforms, raising the pay of the employes, reducing fai'es and buying now rolling stock for cash, and at tho end of the first year she announced a dividend of eleven per cent, something unparalleled in the history of the road. Since then the company has been moving along on a high wave of prosperity. Mrs. Dow has resigned the presi-dency; but her success was so great that efforts are making now to induce hor to take charge of a horse railroad In the West, one in the South, aud a third in New Hampshire, She is seriously thinking of assuming control of ono of them. Mrs. Dow b also a good shot with a rifle; is skillful at fly fishing, is a good judge of horseflesh, and hai taken a prize in an amateur swimming con-test among ladies. At the same time, she is a charming wife, mother, and mistress of the home, and, withal, she is fair, fat and forty. CLOSES HIS KXUA.iEMtM W. H. Crane to Appear In s,a f one Week From Momlij, New.

THE MOM KOARH, If the McKniley Hill Panne Kngland Won't Come to Chicago, London, May 10. During the session of tho House of Commons today Jesse Collings, a liberal unionist, asked whether the government would take steps to encourage British manufac-tures to send an exhibit to the World's Fair at Chicago if the McKinley tariff bill should become a law, in view of tho fact that the bill practically prohibits the importation of British goods into the United States. Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary secretary of foreign office, said the question of official participation in the proposed fair could only be determined after a consideration of the advantages to British interests. When the invitation to tako part in tho exhibition was received from the American government,' probably, he said, the manufacturers of (ireat Britain would to a great extent bo deterred from sending their exhibits to the fair as tho tariff precluded profitable sales in America.

FKKEMONT'S GOOD I.ICK. He tieti as 1,000 From the Vorernuient and Faints. Washington, May 10. When Johu C. Fremont was a lieutenant in 1848 in iu California his accounts with tho government were left In such a state that he has always been regarded' as an official debtor to the government to the amount of $19,000 and it has been ono of tho chief sorrows of Fremont's later years that he was unable to square this balance against him. Tho other day Fremont called at the office of the second comptroller of tho treasury aud said that his financial circumstan-ces are such that if his salary as retired major-gener- were retained to meet this alleged shortage he would le for some time in actual want. At his re-quest the comptroller investigated his accounts and discovered that instead of Fremont being a debtor, the govern-ment had actually owed him for over forty years twenty-on- e thousand dol-lars. Tho records are perfectly clear aud it was proven beyond dispute that through a mistake iu bookkeping. Lieutenant Fremout had beeu charged with a voucher which was on file. When Fremont called again to ask whether some arrangements might be mado to nay his supposed indebtedness by installment ho was so unprepared for the glad news awaiting him that ho fainted. Yesterday a warrant for the amount due him was made out duly approved and signed. ' A; PKIZE BILL 1'IBF' He is ftent Acrom the Fond to hat isli Trophies.

Yan l'hou Lee, an educated Chinaman, has beon mado defendant in a suit for di-vorce by his American wife. The pa-pers were filed in the supreme court to-day by Mrs. Lee's attorney. The de-fendant is charged with infidelity. Mrs. Leo was prior to her marriage Miss Elizabeth Maude Jerome, (laugh-ter of Mrs. E. Gilbert Jciome of this city, and heiress to $05,000. Sho mar-ried Lett July 6, 1887, about a week after he had graduated from Yale uni-versity. The wedding was a great affair, and the Rev.Dr.Twitcholl of the Asylum street Congregational chui'eh, Hartford, performed the ceremony. Tho honey-moon Mas spent at Na'rragauset Pier, and, on returning to this city, Mr. and Mrs. Leo began living at the home of tho bride's mother. Lee wrote for newspapers and magazines, and also brought out the book called "Child-lif- o in Cliiua" and "Why I Becunio a Christian." Leo left New Haven early in the summer of 1881) aud went to where ho was employed iu a bauk. He returned east several mouths ago and is now in New York, whero ho is engagod in tho publication of an English-Chiues- o Sunday school Journal. Loo has been a conspicuous figure in New Haven society since 1878, when he entered the Hopkius grammar school to prepare himself for Yale. Ho entered the university with the class of 1884 and soon gained distinction by high scholar-ship and his ability as a writer. When tho Chinese students were ordered back to China ho returned. He had been a favorite among tho peoplo of several churches, aud through the promise ot prominent women members to assist him incompleting hie educa. tion, lie ran away from China and worked his way around Cape Horn back to this country in a sailing vessel. When ordored "back to China, Leo was engaged to Miss Lenuie Foster, but when ho returned ho found her about to become tho wifo of Hammer of Branford. The en-gagement to Miss Jerome was an-nounced, and about the same time Lee declared himself a Christian, cut off his queue and became a member of the college church.
