Not really. I know such resources only for a dozen years earlier and
half a dozen later.

The latter is accessible only by 19cBB members (including Trent).
The former may be accessible only by SABR members.

I asked Hershberger privately about the Evening Bulletin, which he
didn't mention, and he emphasized that he has focused on 1877-1882, and
he doesn't know about the 19th century generally.

Dittmar worked on the sign-stealing scandal of 1900. He is a SABR
Chapter leader in Philadelphia, so he is an appropriate person to ask
about Phi historical newspapers, regardless of his own research and
compilation; he may know who knows more about '94.
