LEAGUE AND ASSOCIATION

Annual Meetings of Directors of the Two Great Base-Ball Organizations. One of the Brotherhood's Grievances Settled by Awarding Satciiffe $230 Effort of the Association to lect a President Nr.w York, Nov. 13. To-day the most important of the meetings of the two big base-hall organizations, tho League and Association, Trero in progress at the Fifthavenue HoteL The magnates have announced hitherto that tho players would be ignored at this convention, but recently interesting rumors and complications have arisen. Ono complication is the reported anxiety of Brooklyn and Cincinnati to enter tho League. In such an evtnt, it is said, the remaining Association club3 will combine- with the Brotherhood. The following was (earned of tho day's proceedings of the National League. The board of directors, consisting of John T. Brush, of Indianapolis; W. A. Nimick, of Pittsburg; John B. Day, of New Yoric, and Walter A. Hewitt, of Washington, met at 11 o'clock. The business transacted con sisted in listening to the repoft of the secretary of the number of games played during tho season, and the awarding of the championship pennant to the New York clnb. In addition, tho treasurer's report was read anil accepted. Then N. E. Young was ro-electtd president for tho present year. The secretary presented a petition from Umpires Lynch and Curry for tho amount of iS each for moneys deducted from their salaries for absence from the ball Held on account of injuries received whilein the discharge of duty. These claims were allowed. Umpire McQuado also presented a claim for :20O salary lost by reason of illness. This claim was disallowed, because the board thought it ft bad precedent to pay an umpire for time lost on account of sickness. At 1 o'clock tho regular session began. The reports of the board of directors and of the committee on playing rules wero accepted. The committee appointed to confer with the Brotherhood on June 15 last, consisting of A. G. Spalding, chairman; John I. koe.rs and John 13. Day, then presented their report. It contained copies of the otlicial correspondence between Spalding and John M. Ward, president of the Brotherhood. Ward's tirst letter, dated May, SI, lSbO, stated the grievances of tho players, and asked that a committee be appointed to discuss . them. In a letter to his folio w-merabers, 3Ir. Spalding says the Brotherhood claims that the classification rule violates the understanding had with the Brotherhood in lt&7. The only speeilic charge they make is in the case of Sutclille, of the Cleveland club, who, they claim, received his salary of 2,000 from the Detroit club iu lb.sS, and had signed with the Cleveland club for 1SS9 at the clarification figure of $l.7n0. With this exception of Sutclifie, Mr. Ward does not claim that the League has violated the letter of the Brotherhood contract, but the spirit thereof, claiming that while it was not specially written in the contract, it was understood that the total amount of salary paid a player, whether written in the contract or not, was to be the basis of reservation. Mr. Spalding denied that there was any such understanding, but Clause 20. of the League contract, should bo the basis of reservation for thn ensuing year. The report of the committee was accepted, and its request to be discharged granted. Mr. bpaluiug then further stated that the Brotherhood had not substantiated it charges against the Cleveland club in the Sutclille case, lie moved that the League itself decide in the case. A resolution was then adopted, stating that "although as a matter ot fact Sutclille did not sign a contract containing a perpetuating salary clause for the season of 1SS3, he however signed a contract with the Detroit club under date of Oct. 24, 1SS7, previous to the agreement with the Brotherhood committer, and although some doubt as to whether Sutclille did not voluntarily consent to play for the Cleveland club for a less nmonnt than was named in his contract with the Detroit club the year preceding, yet as it was tho plain intention on the part of both parties at tho time the Brotherhood contract was.ugTeed upon that tho players. "when thereafter reserved for the ensuing reason, should receive not less than the samo salary specified in tho contract for the current season, it is hereby ordered that the secretary of the League pay to SutclilTo the sum of 230. being tho difference between the amount paid him for his services with the Detroit club for the sea sou of 18S8 and the amount thus far paid him by the Cleveland club for the season of 1SKV' The remainder of the session was devoted to a discussion of the classification rules and the rules relating to the sale of players and the percentages of visiting clubs. The delegates to the Association convention appeared in the hotel corridors shortly after 1 o'clock. It was made known that the sessiou had struck a suag on the president question. When the convention was called to order by President Wikoff several of the delegates demanded that the president of the Association for the ensuing year be at once selected. Tho question was put to the body and it was resolved to proceed with the election. Mr. Wikotl resigned the chair and Mr. Von der Aho took the gavel. Two candidates were placed in the held for the office. L. C. Kraut hot!', of the Kansas City club, was named by the Byrne faction, while the opposition presented 1he name of Zachariah Phelps, of Louisville. A ballot was taken, and it was found each candidate received four votes. A second ballot brought tho same result. Six more ballots were taken without a chance in the vote, and the convention took a recess until 3 p. M. Several more ballots were taken without result, and finally, at 6:C0, an adjournment was taken until tomorrow. At a late hour it was aunounced that the T enmift wnnld lit in ttpsqwin until Innc nftpr midnight. This extra long session was deemed necessary to complete the business of tho meeting by tomorrow nivrht. The revision of tho constitution occupied the attention of the delegates to-night, and the particular subject to cause discussion was the advisability of allowing a club to pl.y two games in a single afternoon at one admissiou price. John M. Ward said to-night that the Brotherhood had purchased tho grounds for the new Brooklyn club. They are situated on the corner of Fulton street and Manhattan Beach crossing in that city, and it is stated that the pnrehase price is $10U00O. The grounds are 450xbtX) feet, and are believed to he owned by Austin Corbin, who. it is s:iiil. i the backer ot the Brook lyn Brotherhood club. Signed with the lirotherhootl. Chicago. Nov. 18. Ryan and Williamson, of the Chicago ball club, followed Pfefler's examplo to-day and signed contracts with the new players' league for three years. Changes In Rules of the Turf. CniCAGO, Nov. 13. The American Turf Congress held its annual meeting in the office of the Wash fngton Park Club at the Palmer House to-day and discussed the rules drawn up by Secretary Bruce as amendments to the present rules. The most important change considered was the alteration of Clause A of Rule 47. The clause read: There shall bo no race given for horses three years old and upward less than tix furlongs." The amended rule is as follows: "There shall be no dash race given for horses threo years old and upward less than one mile." This was the only change that brought about a division. The amended rule was carried by a vote of to 2, the members voting against it being Judge Perkins, of Latoma. and L. Kzekiel, of Birmingham. Section H. in the preamble and bv-laws. reading. "The subscribing jockey qhibs nii-r mat i2 u contract ior better pnv.iego shall be made with any association of book makers, was striken nut. Th rnbi in r. gard to foul ruling and fraud was made to read: "Anyone rub d oil for a f rand shall stand ruled otT for lif5 " L'nlo lfl was changed to the following: "When two or more horses start iu a race in tho same interest, or owned wholly or in part by the gunQ persons, they shall bo coupled and

sold as ono horso in all pools. Paris mntnals and book-betting." A number of minor changes were made. A few of the proposed changes were referred to a committee, with instructions to report to-morrow morning. The change in Rule 47 is regarded as significant, and made for the purpose of elevating the standard. It was believed that too many half and three-quarter-mile sprinters had been produced by the old limit, and that nothing less than one-milo races for three-year-olds would result in a better grade of horses. Axtell In Winter Quarters at Terre Haute. Kcl! to t!ie ImV.anaroU Journal. Tkxire Haute, Nov. 13. Axtell arrived from Chicago this evening on the passenger train. In company with him were Father John, tho old reliable thoroughbred running horso, who was helper when Axtell made his 2:12 record, and Nancy A. Morgan, a mare now thirty years old, and owned by Budd Doble for twenty-five years. The old matron has been used by Mr. Doble as a roadhorso for many years, and is brought here to close her useful career. "Axtell never was in better condition," said Mr. George Starr, who accompanied the horse from Chicago. "He feeds well, and his hair is glossy, and has the rich oily appearance that denotes the perfect conditioned horse." In tho stable at Mr. Ijam's rcsidence.whero his attendant was rubbing him down, he stood as gentle as a kitten, and seemed perfectly contented with his new home. Starr will return to Chicago to-morrow night, and next week starts with Budd Doble's "string" for Fresno. Cal., to winter. In the "string" are Johnston, 2:0?Aa: Ld Annan, 2:16i.i; Jack, 2:15; Lady Bullion, 2:18ij: Marie Janseu, 2:31: Reina. 2:22; Grace Lee. a two-year-old. 2:29V. lleyhn. a two-year-old colt by Hermes, and a two-year-old colt owned by George Castley, of Chicago, three mares owned by J. II. Onthwaite, Cleveland, and Mandlin, 2:254, owned by II. R. Allen, St. Louis. More Chatter from Mr. Johnson. Cleveland, O., Nov. 13. Mr. Albert L. Johnson, the promoter of the Players' League, has returned from New York filled with enthusiasm. He says the new league will bo a go. Irian interview to-day he said: "In all the cities we have the best financial backing and the hearty co-operation of the players. If Pittsburg capitalists did not care to take stock in their club, there was plenty of money in tho East that was available. Lplace no confidence in the story of desertion. 1 telegraphed to Indianapolis at onco after the story that Denny had refused to sign with the new league. We expect to keep all the weakkneed chaps in line. I have a telegram in my pocket now from Glasscock. He is all right. Hutchison, Bums and Anson are the only players in the League that are not iu the new deal." . ! SERIOUS GAS EXPLOSIONS. Fire Workmen Terribly Darned by the Explosion of a Generator. Wheeling, W. Va., Nov, 13. About 3 o'clock this afternoon an artificial gas generator at tho iEtna rolling-mill, at JEtnaville, opposite this city, exploded. The generator was surrounded by eight or ten men at the time, and they were scattered right and left by the concussion, some of them being hurled a considerable distance. Five of tho workmen, named B. C. Caldwell, manager: Thomas Johns, assistant manager; William Howell, engineer; Timothy Miner, foreman, and Charles Smith a heater, wero terribly burned about tho face, arms and upper part of tho body. Miner's injuries may result fatally, as it is thought he is also hurt internally. Tho men presented a sickening sight when assistance arrived. The mill property was not damaged. Four Hoys ISnrned by Natural Gas. Waynes burg, Pa., Nov. 13. A naturalgas explosion at Mount Morris, to-day, seriously iujured a number of boys. The little fellows had rigged up an old feed cutter, and placed it in on abandoned buildiug. Natural gas was brought through a pipe laid from a well near by, the pipe being

placed so' that the escaping gas would strike a fan-wheel, and put tho cutter in motion. Four boys, named Donley, J- ox, fcouth and 15 urns, visited the building in the evening to see how the thing worked. The gas was turned on and one of the boys, whose curiosity was not satisfied, struck a match to closer inspect the new invention. In an instant there was a Hash and explosion. The feed-cutter was blown to pieces, and the building fired. The flames spread bo quickly that the boys had to make their way through tho fire to escape. They were all terribly burned about their heads and faces, hut it is thought none were fatally injured. National League of Building Associations, . Chicago, Nov. IS. Representatives of eighteen building associations met at the Sherman House, to-day, to perfect the organization of the National League of General Building and Loan Associations. To Owen Scott. Bloomington; treasurer. W. J. Richardson, Chicago. The organization is to harmonize business methods and secure prompt action in matters of common concern, e Eighteen Men Under Arrest for Murder. Wichita, Kan., Nov. 13. John Jackson was arrested here this morning by United States Marshals Walker and Dubois as one of the twenty-nine men who, in July, lst, murdered Sheriff Cross and posse, of Stevens county, in No-man's Land. Seventeen more of the gang are now iu Stevens county, and the authorities there captured them all this afternoon. The murder c routed intense excitement throughout tho western part of tho State at the time, and grew out of the Hugoton-Woodsdale coun-ty-seat war. Found Unconscious on the Street. Thomas Scott was found in an unconscious condition on Kentucky avenue, between Washington and Mississippi streets, last night. Tho man had been badly cut on the forehead with some sharp instrument. Ho was in such a condition that nothing 'could be learned regarding his assailant or the manner in which he came by his wounds. Taken in on Suspicion. Fred Bnndy, William Jones, George D. Smith and William Mason were arrested last night on suspicion of being connected in tho attempted burglary at Erlieh's coal office. West Washington street, Tuesday night. They were arrested in Caughinau'a saloon by officers Rossner and Laporte. Taken Back on Requisition. A requisition from Governor Flfer, of Illinois, for Henry G. Davis, alias G. M.

Governor-elect Campbell, of Ohio, has been invited to deliver the principal address at the exercises which the Hendricks Club will have commemorative of tho death of Vice-president Hendricks. Try for Yat$rsetf. Several Creston honsekeeners. since the departure of Dr. Price's Baking Powder agents, have repeated the test performed by the girls, handling the cans and glasses themselves, and have failed to detect the smell of ammonia or tho present of lime in their old favorite brand, the Royal, as the girls did. Can it bo possible those sweet girls, in the interest of. humanity, would "Milt" the Royal with a little drug? Try the trick yourself, but trr a fresh can for fear your old one is not "pure." If tho girls had hold of it homcthiug might accidentally have dropped from underneath their linger nans into me cau. Lrestou (la.) uazcue.

day they elected the following otiicers: President, M. D. Miller, St. Paul; vice-president. Geo. J. Pict. New York; secretary.

There 19 not a prettier chnrch in tbe city for a wedding than the Third Christian, on Home avenue, and when it is as prettily: arranged as it was last night, with chrysantkemums, ferns, palms and smilax, it is a thing of beauty.

DIRECT TO ASPINWALL. 1 T m The Board ofTrade Indorses the Tampa Project, After Hearing It Explained. " Col. S. A. Jones, of Tampa, Fla., addressed a jineeting of citizens, yesterday noon, in 4the Board of Trade Halh His speech tvas explanatory of the project for opening a direct line of rail and steamship communication between the Western States and South and Central America. . vOne of the great principles involved in this matter," said Colonel Jones in his speech, "is international commerce. Direct lines of communication can be established by which the export and import business can be brought to the Western section of the United States much more cheaply than at present. By a direct air-line we are ouly 2,000 miles from the city of Aspinwall. The export and import business with South audCentral America amounts to $2oo,000,fJ00 yearly, and by a study of 'the statistical reports, only about StMJOO.000 of that amount comes est of the State of Ohio, as goods now go out of aud come intothiscountry through tho Atlantic seaboard. Western commerce is thus losing every year 12,000,000, and for insurance on the ships another 1,000.000. together.with the loss of time tho long roundabout way causes. This loss aloue reaches $1,000,000 aunnally. By a direct line 19 per cent, of this amouut would be saved. The question has been often asked if there is a great harbor, great saving, a i great lino within such a little distance, why has it not been before put to practical use. It is because railroads, and people have uot populated that part of the country. American commerce to-da3r is doing a business with Cuba, only eighteen hours' run from Tampa, amounting to $00,000,000, and there is no nec essity to take that trade around C.000 miles to New York. The eti'cet of a direct line of communication will increase the business of yourcity just in proportion to the energy and interest you display in getting this line established. 'England has gone to work, and is taking tea from China across the north end of America to San Francisco, and from thence to Now York. Yon can bring tea across that samo route, and sell it "to England cheaper than sho is now getting it. With reference to the facilities of the harbor at Tampa we do not ask any money from the government. We have 26 feet of water at low tide, near the docks, and a single corporation has expended co.000.000 on the improvements. There is enough water there to lloat the commerce of the world. It is thirty hours nearer you than any other harbor on the coast of the United States, aud these goods will be deli vered that length of time quicker than any other route can do it.'' At the conclusion of Mr. Jones's speech Mr. A. H. Nordyke submitted the following indorsement of the project: The Indianapolis Board of Trade Las considered tbe ii;cm'rial to Congress of tho Tampa Board of Irade. asking that an appropriation of $l,000,00o be given to have an American line of well-equipped passenger and Iretcht Pteawers that will curry the United States mail from Tauipa. Fla.. to Aspinwall, Central America, aud tho lntermetliate points for a term of five years. Believing that uch a line weald be of great benefit to the Western States, the Board of Trade heartily indorses the same and requests the Senators and Representatives In Congress froui Indiana to give their support to the passaee of a law hi accordance with the terms of this memorial. This indorsement was approved, and after a vote of thanks to Colonel Jones the meeting adjourned. Aransas l'ass Ilarbor. Tampa, Fla., is not the only Southern town that wants to bring its harbor to the notice of the Nation since President Tan ner, oi the Board of Irade, yesterday re ceived a circular from the president of a like board at Corpus Christi, Tex., inviting Indianapolis business men to visit Aransas pass. It is proposed by the enterprising people of Corpus Christi to improve the harbor at the pass for a purpose similar to that the people of Tampa are urging. The circular sets forth that the future commcrcial and social relations of tho Gulf coast with tho centers of population of the growing Northwest are certain to develop. Therefore, it is urged that it is desirablo for the merchants and business men of Indianapolis and other Northern cities to understand the facilities Corpus Christi can offer in pushing forward that development THE ORDINANCE AND CONDITIONS. What the Street Railroad Would Like to Have and What It Will Give in Return. It was the intention of the special committee of Council appointed for that pur- . pose to confer with Superintendent Shaffer of the Citizens' Street-railroad Company last night. The conference was to relate to the conditions nnder which the company would put electric motors .on its roads. Councilman Stnckmeyqr, chairman of the committee, issued a call, but only Councilraen Kelley, Markey and 'Stuckmeyer, Superintendent Shaffer and II. C. Allen, the company's attorney, wero ' present. Tho subject of a proposition coming from the company to the city was not broached, although some time was spent in discussing the probable source from which the Journal derived the facts which formed a basis for its disclosures in yesterday's issue. Mr. Stuckmeyer took some objection to the prominence which had been given to his name in tho matter, and asserted that no proposition wonld be discussed ' by the committee until all members were present. The entire; committee will probably be brought toeether before the end of the week, in order to make a report to the Council next Monday night. A great deal of talk was heard on the streets, yesterday, regarding the proposition which it was rumored the company would make to the city. and no 6mall amount of speculation as to its probable nature was indulged in. The ord nance,- however, is prepared, and a copy of it was shown to a reporter yesterday. There are but two essential ditlVrences between its provisions and those of the charter under which the company is now operating. The first is that tho new ordinance will grant the company the privilege of using either electricity, cable or Judson motor; the second is that it will extend the franchise to 1940. Both are urged bv the company as the natural result of the city's rapid growth. The main argument is that Indianapolis, with an approximated population of 135.000, and the net-work of tracks that cuts up her streets, is undoubtedly iu i a position where a step toward rapid transit tncaus the advancement of the business interests and the comfort of her people. Mauy of the car lines here aro from five to eight miles in length, and all cars run at the rate of six miles an hour. By taking advantage of the transfer system In vogue in this city one may ride ten miles for a single fare, which means that he must sit in a car for one hour and forty minutes. By.r the electric system, it is urged, the same distance conld be covered in less than fifty minutes. Cars running by tho present system from Tenth street to tho transfer-car. in twenty-seven minutes would deposit 'their passengers on Washington street in twelve minutes, including all allowances fqr stops, which would be made only at the end of a block. 1 he propositiomwhich the company will make to the city and which will bo drawn up in Mark and white if accepted, were furnished to a reporter yesterday from an authentic source. They are four in number. Should the ordinance bo passed granting the privilege ot using electricity and the extension of the franchise, the company will agree to build and place in operation fifteen miles oi electric street railroad between Jan. 1, 10. and Jan. 1, 1SV1. Three of the lines included in this first extension will probably be those to

Crown Hill, Irvingtcn and Brightwood. As a second proposition the company will agiee to nut one conductor upon every car propelled by electricity in addition to the gripman. It will also agree to pay for the paving of all streets between its tracks which will be improved by the city. For a single track this means eiuht feet of improvement to be paid for by the company, and upon all streets where double trucks are used it will pay for sixteen feet. But the limit . of tho amount to be raid in any oue . year is $20,000. n addition the company will deed to the city tho SGO-acre park northwest of the city, to be used as a public park. It is stated in this conditional way, and probably will cloud the title of the land unless the city chooses to use it for park purposes. In other words, the city conld not sell it without violating tho contract. Superintendent Shatter is inclined to be somewhat reticent in speaking with newspaper men because, he says, the plan has not yet been carried out to an extent that requires any great publicity. He says, however, that - at tho proper timo he will be only too glad to furnish any information through the dailies that it may be in his power to giv'j. W. J. Clark, of New York, has been in the city for nearly a week in the interests of the Thompson -Houston Electric Motor Company. He has figured to 6ome extent in this new rapid transit scheme here, and will probably be given the contract if the city accepts the terms of the street-car company. The Little Boss Desires A Correction. Boss Coy came into tho city yesterday from his retreat near the Brightwood extension of the Citizens' Strejpt-railroad Compauy to say that the fifty -years-franchise ordinance was not discussed in the caucus of Democratic Couucilmen. Monday night. "As tho matter was not mentioned in caucus," said he with an earnestness that showed great interest in what he was saying, "I could not have said what has been attributed to me. I don't care about it myself, but in justice to the streetrailroad company 1 would like to hsve the statement that this ordinance was brought up in caucus corrected."

THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE. No Trouble Need Be Apprehended in Applying the Law in Recent Decisions. "There are other cases to come in the Supreme Court," said a well-known lawyer yesterday, "in which the general principle laid down in the State Statistician and State Geologist suits will be further defined. Meantime nobody is likely to object very strenuously becausothe court has laid down the general proposition that oflicers whose appointments by the Governor or elections by the Legislature are not specifically provided for in the organic law, and whose functions concern the whole people, must be elected by the people. In these days of active reaching after additional powers and prerogatives by the ditlerent departments of tho government. when each branch is asserting its claims to disputed territory and staking out corner lots, so to speak, on the uugranted domain, it is very refreshing, to hav the least, to see the Supreme Court of the State come iu aud say to these claimants, there are eome rights which have uot been given to any of you, and which belong to the people. The public has been waiting patiently for something of this kind, lo, these many years, and will give it a very hearty welcome, now that it has come. There is no disposition to curtail either the executive or the legislative departments in the rights given them by the Constitution. "That instrument designates the appointments to be made by the Governor and . defines his powers to fill vacancies in offices which he is not entitled originally to control.. It likewise' provides what offices may be filled by the Legislature. Its provisions in these respects, both with reference to the executive and legislative departments, have been defined by the courts. The territory which is not granted by the organic law to either of these departments, aud which remains in the people, is to some extent defined in tho decisions of last week!. It only remains to make clear boundaries for the application of the principle which the court has laid down in plain terms, and I have no doubt that these will be settled without any trouble or confusion. Tho meanings of the decisions are plain. They only apply to offices not assigned to either departments by the Constitution and whose functions concern the whole people of the State, not in an indirect, but in a direct way. There ought not to be. and will not be, any difficulty in determining what offices must be filled by popular election under this ruling. The additions to the list now chosen by popular vote will . doubtless be lew, but the decisions are none the less valuable as strong and muchneeded bulwarks against further encroachments on the reserved rights of the people." State Statistician WorralPs Office. State Statistician John Worrall has his office in Hoom 85 of the State-house, and notifies those having business with that department to call there. Ho is now devoting his entire time to the business of the office. His tirst attention will be gi ven to the gathering of labor and manufacturing statistics for his ensuing report, which ho desires to make as complete as possible. PEARSsSoap is the most elegaut toilet adjunct. "Now, Gen'ral, you're posted; come, give us your views. In a brush at the front whats the powder to use!" He winked at a star as he puffed his cigar.
