THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1SS7.

Iheir camp of tents shelter eight hundred men io-nipht, the first of tbe boys to take to the field. Scarcely bed their tramp died out when Wistonsin, led by Governor Rusk and his bodyguard of seventeen maimed soldiers, marched through tbe streets, escorted by 150 men from Milwaukee. Their tents were pitched in Carr Place, and after visiting their quarters many ought their comrades from Illinois, who were quartered at Lyon Park. Three hundred from the Quincy, 111., Soldier Home had arrived, and as they took possession the one-legged staff of Wisconsin marched around the ground on an Inspection tour. Ohio's first delegation of four hundred men from Cleveland came in late and hastened to St. Louis Park, where they were joined by squads from Indiana. Kansas and Massachnsetts had many men at their tents at Washirgton Park, though tbe posts will not arrive until to morrow. A martial air pervaden the city, and several thousand soldiers perambulate the streets, and promise many more than were at first expected. As California came 1.500 strong intead of 800. as was at first promised, and as each other State now sends notice of increased attendance, the total number will swell to more than 50,000. As these men arrive they will be met at the depot by a reception committee, who will send one man with each post to direct them to their quarters. Tents and rooms are prepared for all, so matter what the number. As General Sherman retired from Hansom Post, last night, he left all public matters behind, and early this morning visited the home of Mrs. Henry S. Tudner, where he remained until evening, when he returned to Mr. Ilenrr Hitcheock's residence, where a few old friends were received without demonstration of any kind. He was asked if be was a candidate for commander-in-chief, and emphatically replied, "No, and please put that in tbe plainest type you have." He says that under no circumstances can he be Induced to be a candidate for the honor. Ex-Commenders-in-ehief John S. Kountz, of Toledo. O.. Robt B. Beath. of Philadelphia, and J. C. Robertson, of New York, are among the prominent arrivals. They were driven through the city this afternoon, visiting each camp and viewing the docoratioos which bedeek the buildincrs along the way. On the day of the grand parade, Tuesday, business will be practically suspended, as Mayor Francis has declared it a holiday, and requested all persons to observe it as such. The Merchants' Exchange has signified their intention of so doing, and there will be no pension of the Roard of Trade on that day. The schools will also be slosed, and the warmest reception extended to the veterans on every band. Nothing has been left undone for their entertainment, and a warm welcome is intended to the mobilization of the Grand Army of the Republic. rOPCLAR SCIENCE.

It is reported that themissiouariesin the Congo region have discovered that a beverage made of bananas is a preventive of malarial fevers. The sun's gravity is twenty-seven times as great as that of the earth. Were the earth'a gravity increased to that of tbe sun, a 150pound object would weigh about two tons. The fastest time ever made by any chip or boat, according to a scientific journal, was twenty-eight miles per hour, this being the performance of an Italian twin-screw torpedo boat. II R. Stickney, of Portland, Ma, ba3 been running a two-borse power engine for four years with kerosene of 120 test. It required three or four gallons daily. He will soon males a comoound engine of tbe same kind. - Quicklime is tbe best thing imaginable to save books from the ill-effects of damp, A small vessel full of lime placed near a book-case is better than a blazing fire for this purpose. The lime must be changed every two or three days. Professor Thiersch, of Leipzig, has shown that if a piece of negro skin is grafted on a white man the piece of transplanted skin gradually changes its color till it is white, and conversely if a piece of white skin is grafted on a negro. The remains of no less than fifty-nine flowering plants found in mummy wrapping have been identified. The flowers even yet show their delicate colorings, the violet of the larkspur and the scarlet of the poppy still remaining, as well as the green of some leaves. A feature of the sun most amazing, says Prof. Swift, is the amount of heat radiated into space. Its intensity, at the solar surface, has been reckoned all tbe way from 20,000 to 10.000.000 degrees of our thermometer, or, rather, a longer one, for tbe instrument would require a length of many miles to register the latter amount, which is tbe estimate made by Capt. John Ericcson. Tbe earth receives only a little part of this huge quantity. Take half a dozen tumblers, or vessels of different sizes, and arrange them in a row touching one another, each succeeding one being lower than the preceding. Fill tbe first with water. Let a wooden strip hang with one end into the full vessel, reaching to the bottom, and tbe other end into the empty one, also touching tbe bottom. Tn a similar way place strips in ail tbe vessels. The water will be transferred by capillary action from tbe first to the last vessel, passiug through the intervening ones. Tbe reclamation from the desert of portions of northern Africa by means of artesian wells seems to be going on prosperously. The first well has constantly increased its flow, and now irrigates an area of 1,500 acres on which are growing many thousand palm trees, besides garden crops for the support of the population which has flocked to the place, and a second well has been driven about two miles from the first, which already delivers nearly twice as much water as the first. Thad Stevens an John Brown. Ex-Treasurer F. E. Spinner, in a recent letter to the Hon. Eli Thayer, of Worcester, Mass., relates tbe following: "I saw lately a newspaper account in which the statement was made that John Brown was captured by Virginia militia. I know this to be untrue, so I referred to the People's Encyclopedia, and there found, by inference, the same misstatement. It says: 'Brown lingered in the town until evening, by which time 1,500 militiamen arrived. Drown was captured.' On my way to Washington, in November, 1859, the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens came aboard the train at Philadelphia, and took a seat beside me. At the Relay House, wbere the Baltimore & Ohio railroad makes a junction, Governor Wise and Senator Mason boarded tbe sane car, and took seats directly opposite us. They hid come from Harper's Ferry, and discussed the Brown affair. They said things that displeased us. I said to Mr. Stevens that it was a pity that Brown had not been sentenced to prison for life, instead of being made a martyr by haogiog. Mr. Stevens bad evidently longed for an opportunity to give the two eminent Virginia statesmen a shot in return, and turned to me and said in a ioud voice: 'No, sir, lie ought to have been banged for attempting to rapmre Virginia witb a dozen white men, five t.egroas and an old cow. Why sir,' he said 'he ouict.t to have taken at least thirty men to have captured Virginia.' I forgot to say in the proper place what I intended in relating this incident, L e. , that Governor Wise, in the course of conversation, said to Senator Mason: 'What I regret in this whole affair is, that the rascal was captured by federal troops, instead of Virginia troops.'

An unfortunate outgrowth of the proceedings against tbe Andover professors is tbe apparent effect on the number of students in the seminsry. Tbe uncertainty kept men away, and tbe junior class is reported to number but seven. A religious controversy is sure to have a melancholy influence tn various ways.

HAPPENINGS IN THE STATE

Live-Stock Breeders Hold an Interesting Session at Greensburg. Somebody's Mistake Causes the Death of Young Man by Morphine Damages Demanded for an Eviction Xotes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Greknsbcro, Sept. 24 One of the most in teresting meetings ever held here was that of the Quarterly Joint Association of Live-Stock Breeders and Farmers this afternoon. Rush, Shelby, Bartholomew and Decatur counties have united their county associations into one, meeting quarterly, alternately, in each county. President S. B. Butts was in the chair, with Dr. John Arnold, secretary. There was an address of welcome by Hon. W. R. Pleak, and responses by Dr. John Arnold, of Rush, and W. J. Quick, of Bartholomew. Papers were then read and discussed, as follows: "Advantages of such Meetings," B. P. Bennett, of this city; "Rural Homes," Prof. E. H. Butler, of Rushville, and "Does it Pay the Farmer to Rear Thoroughbred Short-born Cattle?" by H. W. Lambert, of Columbus. The attendance was good, and the papers and discussions of a high order. Each county holds its separate monthly meeting. Somebody's Fatal Mistake. SoecfM to the Indianapolis JonroaL Cravtokdsville, Sept. 24. Wm. Ansberry, a young man about nineteen years old, died yesterday under peculiar circumstances. He was not feeling well on Thursday, and his mother gave him a dose of quinine, as she supposed. When the family awoke the next morning he was found to be dying. Physicians were summoned, but could do nothing to relieve him, and ha died. The drug was produced, and proved to be morphine, and it was found that he had been given five grains. Tbe coroner held an inquest to-dav. and Mrs. Ansberry testified that she bought the drug at the store of Moffett. Morgan & Co. for quinine. The druggists, however, swore that no woman was in their store on Thursday afternoon, who asked for either quinine or morphine, and that Mrs. Ansberry must have been mistaken in the place where she procured the drug. Temperance Meeting at Danville. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Danville, Sept. 24. Mis Henrietta G. Moore, of Springfield, O.. addressed a large and earnestly attentive audience at the court house, this afternoon, on the subject of temperance reform. Miss Moore represents the work of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and spoke for an hour in favor of more temperance and less politics. She arraigned both the great parties severely for their indifference to the appeals of humanity, but did not directly advocate a third party. Tbe audience was composed of representatives of all political parties, and the votes taken after the speaking showed that nearly all preseut were united on the main question. One of these votes was an informal resolution calling for the sense of the audience on "prohibition, irrespective of party or method of procedure." This motion went through by an almost unanimous vote. Damages Demanded for Eviction. Special to the Indianasolis Journal. ( Wabash, Sept. 24. In the Wabash Circuit Court, this afternoon, Mrs. Nancy J. Ridgely, of North Manchester, this county, filed suit against George W. Lawrence, Angust Mills, William Kirseber and J. D. Spurgeon, demanding $3,500 dama ges for loss on her stock of millinery goods in that place, by reason of the removal of the roof of the building she occupied, by the defendants. Lawrence, Mills & Co. are bankers and merchants of North Manchester, and owned the premises in which Mrs. Ridgely did business. They notified her last May to move out, and have since refused to receive any rent from her. She failed to surrender possession, and Spurgeon was set at work tearing out the building, exposing Mrs. Ridgely's goods to a heavy rain. Her blind husband was prostrated in the melee, and also sues for $1,000. A Five-Years' Sentence. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Marion, Sept. 25. Last May William Adams, aged thirty years, partly by threats and partly by force, induced Larisa Gabriel, ten years old, to enter a boat with him. He then rowed a half mile down the Mississinewa river, and was in the act of perpetrating a devilish crime when he was interrupted by the little girl's mother. He was tried on tbe charge of abduction and criminal assault, and last night the jury brought in a verdict of guilty, fixing the penalty at five years in the State's prison. Minor Notes. A flow of gas was struck in well No. 2. at Vernon, at 1 Ip. m. Saturday. The indications point to another gusher. The wife of Wm. Hancock, living three miles south of Spencer, dropped dead at the breakfast table Saturday morning. The cause of the death was heart disease. The shooting tournament given by the Wabash Gun Club, last week, was a success in all particulars. Sportsmen were present from many points in northern Indiana and Ohio. Gen. C. H. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who is visiting friends in Greensburg, was serenaded Saturday evening and then met a crowd at the conrt-house, where he made a rousing speech. The interest and enthusiasm manifested were suoh as is usual in a heated campaign. Gen. A. Stone and wife, of Winchester, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedded life, on Saturday. About fifty guests were present, among those from a distance being, W. Culton, of Chicago; C H. Whippo and wife, of Fountain City, Ind.; Eld. Wm. D. Stone and wife, of Union City, Ind., and Mrs. Jane Robinson, of Cincinnati. John Dodd, of Randolph county, on Friday evening pleaded guilty to a charge of horsesiealing and was given nine years in the State's prison and fined $25. It is rumored that his plea was so given because he feared the "regulators," who believe he bad pals in his business, would take him out on Friday night and wring from him, not only a confession of his own guilt, but the names of such pals. LABOR INTERESTS. Conditions of tlie Strike Among the Miners of the Anthracite Itegion. Pittsburg, Sept. 24. Mr. A, A. Carlton, of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor, who was in the city to-day arranging a conference to discuss the wages of the cokeworkers, 13 one of the two members of the board delegated to look after the big strike of the coal miners in the anthracite region. When asked this afternoon about the status of the strike, he said: "I have just come from the anthracite regions. The men who are still on strike are all united, and are confident of ultimately winning. The men who have gone to work have been practically granted an advance in wages of 8 per cent. This advance is conditional. That is, if the men who are stiil on strike win, then the advance continues, but if not. th-u the lines of settlement will apply also to those now at work. There are now between 1G.000 and 18,000 men out on strike. The number at work at the advance are between 35,000 and 40,000. These men have been assessed 5 per cent of their wages to support those who are stiil out" The Tronbles Among Indiana Miners. Special to tbe Indianapolis JournalBrazil, Ind.. Sept 24. Of the 7,000 miners in Indiana, but 2,000 belong to the National Federated Association. Less than this number belong to sub division No. 7, of tbe Miners' Assembly of the Knigbts of Labor, rival orders, to an extent, although many of the members of each belong to both orders. The big majority of the miners do not belong to any order. This state of affairs has led to most of the trouble in the adjustment of differences witb operators growing out of the two-weeks' pay and other questions; for the unorganized miners have come to tbe front in mass-meetings, and their actions bave been often contrary to tbe theories of the two orders. President Fisher, who has been in tbe second district in the interest of organization, reports that the trouble at Washington, Cannelsburg and elsewhere in the southern part of tbe State are still on. Some of tbe miners are striking for a two-weeks' pay-day where payment is maUe to within one week of tbe date of payment. The new law requires a semi-monthly pay-day, but does not

specify further. Some of the miners also de

mand tbe federation scale of rates. This scale allowed a five-cent advance, May 1, besides fixing a uniform rate, neither of which obtain among many miners south of the Ohio & Mississippi railroad. Other questions are up, but these are the more im portant. A second advance of five cents was nxea oy tne teaeration in con nection with the operators, for Nov. 1, but as the conditions have not been met yet by tbe miners, it is understood no demand will be made for it. although tbe unorganized and troublous ele ments may be beard from. Much interest is being manifested in the proposed State mass-meeting to be held in Indianapolis about Jan. 1 for the purpose of uniting tbe two mining organizations into one. This move will be in the interest of harmony and concerted action and may prove beneficial to all concerned, since, if successful, the coalition will become national and will embrace all the miners of the United States. Arbitration has won such a decided victory that its influence will doubtless predominate in the new order whatever may be the name. A Victory for Anarchism. New York. Sept. 25. The Central Labor Union's meeting to-day came near being the scene of a free fight. A series of resolutions was offered calling upon the Union to condemn the Illinois Supreme Court judges for sentencing tbe seven Anarchists in Chicago. The resolutions were listened to quietly, but as soon as they were finished delegate Weinsten, a printer, moved that a committee be appointed to call a mass-meeting to condemn the sentence. This was followed by a motion to lay the resolutions on tbe table. The Socialists protested vehemently and the motion was lost Then the Anarchists were attacked by Hugh Whorskey, of the Carpenters' and Jointers' . Union, and vice-Chairman McKim made a furious onslaught upon all Socialists and Anarchists. The uproar following was deafening, and the proprietor of the hall appeared upon the platform, begging the delegates to desist, as his business would be ruined by such noise on Sunday afternoon. Comparative quiet being restored, George G. Block, of the National Bakers' Union, began speaking on the resolution. He was interrupted by a cry of "God bless the hand that threw that bomb." "Yes," added Mr. Block, "God bless that bomb." The majority of the delegates cried, "Shame." and another scene of confusion ensued. Finally a motion was made to call the previous question, and this was passed. Tne final vote in favor of Weinsten's motion carried it, and the minority left the hall, under protest. The Cominc General Assembly, E. of L. Minneapolis, Sept 24. Preparations are progressing finely for the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor of America, which will convene in annual session in Minneapolis on Oct 3. It promises to be the most notable gathering of labor leaders ever held. The attendance of delegates will not be aa large as at the Richmond convention of last year, owing to a change in the plan of representation. The Washington Rink, in which the meeting of the assembly will be held, is being decorated and furnished with seats for 15.000 people. There will be no parade on the opening day. For tbe evening an entertainment, with addressns by General Master Workman Powderly and A. J. Streetor, president of the Farmers' Alliance, has been planned. On Sept 28 the annual meeting of the general co-operative board of the Knights of Labor wirl be held in this city, at which time J. P. McGaghey. of this city, the secretary of the board, will submit his annual report Miners' Wages Advanced. Shamokin, Pa., Sept 25. The Union Coal Company bave promulgated an agreement whereby their miners will receive 8 per cent advance, and laborers 15 per cent, and other miuor concessions. Their collieries will resume to morrow. The Mineral Mining Company and their strikers bave not yet reached a settlement All other coal companies are working. Solid fur Powderly. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept 25. L. W. Hanscomb, delegate from Butte, M. T., to the Grand Assembly, Knights of Labor, said in an interview that the delegates from District 9G, which include Montana, would be solid for Powderly, and wmild not listen to his retiring from office. In fact, the entire delegation from the Pacific coast were of this mind. A Dishonest Trensurer Absconds. Dover, N. H., Sept 25. P. A. Crosby, treasurer of the Lasters' Protective Union Fair, a married man, has absconded with the fair receipts amounting to $5,000, and is accompanied by Mrs. Emma Sawyer Lord. He leaves an aged mother, a broken-hearted wife and two children to suffer for his evil doings. He left them penniless. Taking the Proper Coarse. Kansas City, Sept 25. At a large meeting of the Central Labor Union, to-day, the Socialist members were expelled, and strong resolutions against socialism and anarchism were adopted. A Knight of Labor Assembly here has been suspended for socialistic tendencies. Industrial Notes. The extraordinary consumption of goods is having the effect of starting a good many mills on full time, also of stimulating enlargements and additional machinery. The textile manufacturers all over the country have been able to preserve a good equilibrium oetween supply ana aemana, and. In conse quence, prices of all products are firmer than they would have been otherwise. The demand is close up to the loom, and the lightness of stocks, especially in cotton goods, is stimulating the demand for future requirements. Wisconsin machine-shops turn out engines for Rhode Island manufactories. Tbe latest en gine furnished was an enormous one. the fly wheel thirty-two feet in diameter, and the face nine feet three inches. Tbe largest of four steam cylinders recently furnished has a diameter through whicu a tall man with a silk hat on could walk. The Western machine-shops are teaching the Eastern shops how to do big things. During the past year factory laws have been passed in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan and Missouri. Laws regulating mining have been passed in Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee and West Virginia; regulating employment of children and women, in Alabama, Connecticut. Col orado, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. Laws intended to better secure wages, have also been passed in several States. In Connecticut and Massachusetts weekly payments are required. Laborers bave preferred laws in many States. In Ne braska none of the property of a debtor is exempt from the claims of labor. In New York it is unlawful to exact a promise that an employe shall not join a labor organization. Indians on the "War-Path. Nogales, A. T., Sept 25. Private telegrams received here state the major portion of the Indians on the San Carlos reservation bave gone on the war-path. So far as can be learned, the cause of the outbreak is without depth. So far no one has been killed, but depredations on stock ranches have resulted in much loss, and the in trepidity of tbe Indians outrivals all past ex ploits. The troops at the camp, north of tftwn. have been ordered to prepare for a march, and are to-night standing on their arms. Business has been almost entirely suspended, and the streets are filled with people discussing the af fair. The Cholera-Stricken Immigrants. New York. Sept 25. The cholera stricken steamship Alesia still swings at anchor off the lower quarantine, and her passengers are still held on Hoffman's island. Two patients died at 5 o'clock last evening, and one expired at 5 o'clock this rooming.

BASE-BALL YESTERDAY.

Cleveland Achieves an Easy Victory Over v Louisville. Locisville, Sept 25. The weather was clear and beautiful, but cold here, to-day, and the crowd at the ball park did not number over 2,500 people. Ramsey pitched a miserable game, and by loose and reckless playing gave the visitors fully five runs. The fielding of Kelly's men was also not np to the usual standard, and they were unable to hit to any effect. Cleveland did good work in the field, and with Ramsey's support rait up the score to its one-sided figures.

Up to the seventh inning, to-day, Foutz pitched a magnificent game and had Cincinnati shut out, and but three scattering hits were made off his delivery. With one fell swoop the red-legged warriors lit on to "Old Reliable'' Dave in the seventh, and pounded him all over the field. After the battle eight runs w -re found to be piled up, three of which were made after chances were given to retire the side. Brilliant plays were frequent, notably among which were Latham's catcb of a hot liner off Reilley's bat, and Corkhill's running catches. The best all-round feature of the game was Gleason's superb short-stop work. Fully 11,000 people were present and great enthusiasm prevailed until Foutz was knocked out In the seventh inning Caruthers split the little finger of his right hand in catching a fly, Knouff taking bis place.

I., to day, each had won eight games during the season. Baltimore went in to win the odd one, and succeeded, under extraordinary ciscumstances. Brooklyn played with a single error, and made more hits than the visitors, but the single error cost two runs. That, together with Toole's foolishness in hitting two batsmen, lost the game to Baltimore. Score: Brooklyn O O O O 1 O 1 O 02 Baltimore O 2 O O 2 O O 1 5 Earned Runs Brooklyn, 1: Baltimore, 1.

Special to the Indiauapolis Journal. St. Louis, Sept 25. Opinion is freely expressed and becoming very general in St Lonis base-ball circles, that the Browns do not wantto win from the Cincinnatis, as to do so would jeopardize Cincinnati's hold on second place in the Association race. Every game the Browns would win from the Cincinnatis would be half a game in favor of the Louisvilles, who are pressing Cincinnati closely for second place. The criticisima on the playing of tbe Browns in the last four games with the Cincinnatis are severe. Many believe that three of the games could have been won by the Browns, counting that of today. The feeling here is that the Browns, having won tbe Association championship, prefer to Eee tbe Cincinnatis come second than to let that position go to the Louisvilles. There is also a strong belsef in well-informed base-ball circles that there i3 a plan for the Browns and the Cincinnatis to go into tbe League at tbe last minute, after they have quietly secured certain concessions from that bsdy. Arrangements for a California Trip. St. Locis, Sept 25. Arrangements were made here to-day for a grand California baseball trip. Mr. James Hart, of Milwaukee, repreienting the Chicago and Philadelphia clubs, and Mr. George Munson, of St. Louis, repre--sealing the St. Louis Browns, entered into a formal aereement by which the Chicago, St. Louis and Philadelphia clubs will play a regular schedule of games during the winter at. Central Part, San Francisco. The Income of McJuggins. Tid-Bits. James Orestes McJuggins wended his way one summer evening to the vine-clad cottage where dwelt Annie Cleopatra Brown. This is the way they all do in stories. The haroes never walk. They wend their way. "Wend" is a good word, and we ought to see nore of it The cottage above referred to, in addition to being vine-clad, wore a tight-fitting coat of brown paint and a double-jointed mortgaee. James Orestes McJuggins loved tne fair Annie, and on the night in question he meditated propounding to her the query which will never grow old. That is why I call it tbe "night in question," though it occurs to me that "the night of question" would be more correct, though less euphonious. Annie Cleopatra Brown was expecting Orestes, for it was his regular night for coming. If the truth must be told (and it is advisable to tell it sometimes), he came every night and twice on Sundays. . She met him on tbe porch, and together they entered the parlor. The lamp was turned low, for they were economical of light at the Brown dwelling. After a little animated conversation, it became more Annie-mating still, for Orestes asked the girl if she would marry him, and she promptly replied that she would. She had been expecting the question for several months, and had the answer ready to fit it carefully packed away on ice. "But, dear," she observed, "you must ask papa's consent You are all right, but it will please him to be consulted. He's in the backyard now." Strong in Annie Cleopatra's love, James Orestes stalked into the back yard, wbere Mr. Brown was busily engaged in teaching his new setter pup some tricks. "Hello!" exclaimed Brown; "what's the matter? Haven't adjourned thus early, have you?" "No; but we were discussing a question and agreed to refer it to you." '"What is the question1?" "1 asked your daughter if she would marry me." "Did she say yes?" "She did, but she wants your consent" "Well, she can have it if you will satisfy me on one point." "And that is" "Your income." "Oh, that is assured. I bet $25 every day that the Indianapolis base-ball club will lose, and I am rapidly accumulating wealth." "You have a great head! Take her and be happy!" Base-Ball Notes.

Detroits at Washington, tie; June 6, Pittsburgs at Detroit, rain: June 8, PitUburgs at Detroit, rain; May 23, Chicagos at Boston, rain; August 22, Chicagos at Boston, rain: August 23, Chicagos at Boston, rain: September 17, New Yorks at Chicago, tie; May 20. New Yorks at Philadelphia, tie; May 15, Philadelpbias at Washington, tie. It is to be hoped that the League players will go slowly and consider well every step before they declare war against the League officials. Tbo latter have money, business tact, good leadership and a generous supply of brains on their side, while the players, as a whole, bave not very large bank accounts, very little practical business education, and, with all due respect to John Ward and James O'Rourke, they have not the leader who commands those requirements necessary in a successful commander in a crusade against the League. Then, again, too much confidence must not be placed in the oily promises of syndicates. In short, boys, go slowly. ' CITY MATTERS IX GENERAL. To-Dsy'g Doings.
