BASE BALL TROUBLES.
The Association and Leagues That Find
niffleutty In Getting Clubs.
There seems te be a great deal of treuble
this year about the formation of the differ
ent base ball leagues and associations,
from the largest te the smallest It Is be
lieved by many that the Players' Leegue,
at prosent, Is in a botter condition than
any of the ethers. Probably two of the
shakiest clubs in that league are in Buffalo
and Pittsbursr, as there Is fear that they
maj' net pay. Incase that cither of these
draw out a team will at oncebo placed in
St Leuis, where a large sum of money has
already been raised for a Brotherhood
nine. Syracuse is counted upon as an
Amerlcan Association team, but In case it
leaves the International Association that
body will be In a bad way. The Atlantic
Association, of which Baltlmore and
Trenten are new members, is also In
trouble. Barnie wants te take Wilming
ton in te break the big Jump between
Trenten and Baltimore.
Wilmington at prosent 1b a member of
the new Inter-State League, which has an
existonce at present In newspapers, and
principally in thePhiladelphia Press, whose
base ball editor holds nearly every office in
it He is very anxious te inake it go and
te read the paragraphs and dispatches In
the Press each morning ene would sup
pose that there was'ne trouble whatever
but there is. Thore are at prosent three
well organized clubs in that league and
they will be stationed at Lebanon, Harris
burg and Alloena. They have geed
players and managers and thore will be a
rivalry between them that will be inter
esting. Wilmington has a few players
signed, but its people are uncertain what te
de. In Easten Carman, of last year's Read
ing club, is trying te get the enthusiasts
into the scheme, while in Wilkes
barre things are net progressing as
they should. It is amusing te read the
Lebanon papers since the town has gene
crazy evor base ball, and they think they
have the greatest nine en earth. The papers
are kind enough te give ether towns
"pointers" en securing players. One of
them says that "Ktelfer, S weitzer und Mur
phy would be three geed men for Wilkes
bar re." Lebanon need net worry about
Wilkosbarre. There are plenty of men
with bleed and experience, especially in
base ball matters, In that town. They
knew a geed player when they see him
and have turned out some of the best.
Once they make up their minds te get a
nine they will net uoed any advice from
Lebanon.
Lancaster has some Interest in tbe Inter
state League, although it has no nine
In it, as our people will soe many of tbe
games at Penryu If any kind of reasonable
railroad rates can be obtained. The high
car fare was what kept poeplo away last
year and Messrs. II nines and Neff, who
are two of the principal men back of the
club and are also cennected with the rail
road, should de a little for Lancaster poeplo.
The fever is net as great hore as in Lebanon,
and our poeplo will net walk ten miles te
see a game or attend ene in snow shoes,
but thore ure plenty of folks hore who will
often run te Penryn at anything like geed
rates.
President Voltz Is looking around for a
man who can talk Dutch te umplre the
home games for Lebanon. He should also
previde him with a shotgun and coat of
nail.
IN THE TOILS AGAIN.
Jehn Conners Discharged Fer n Short
Tlme, nut Rearrested.
In court yeslerday Jehn Helmes, a
tramp, was convicted of assaulting and
robbing Abraham Breitlgan, an old man
who has charge of Jacob Sheafler's distil
lery en East King street. Jehn Conners,
auother tramp, was charged with the same
offense, but for aome reason the grand
Jury ignored the bill, and Conners
was discharged. Conners was called
tothe witness stand in behalf of Helmes,
and then Mr. Breitlgan had a geed leek at
him. The cleser he looked at him the mere
he became convinced that he was ene of
the men who were with Helmes at the dis
tillery. He made a new ceaiplaiut against
the man before Alderman Deen. In
the meantime Conners had skipped out of
town. It was thought that he would
go te Columbia, se the warrant was given
te Constable Wlttlck, who ovorteok Con Con
eors in his town. He brought him te Lan-.
caster and ledgod him In Jail again this
morning. A new bill will be sent te the
grandjury and Breitlgan is ready te swear
positively that Conners Is one of the guilty
men.

DEPLORING HIS DEATH.
SCHOOL BIRECTOBS PIT T11BDTE T0 TIE
LITE 6. EDW. IEBENER.
Addresses by President McCormlek,
Messrs. Sofereyer, McCemsey, Wick-
ersham, Cochran and Retlly.
A special meeting of the Lancaster city
school beard waa held en Tuesday evening
te take action en the death of O. Edward
Hegener, with the following merobers
present: Messrs. Breneman, Brlnten,
Cochran, Dartntttettcr, driest, Jehnsen,
Llppeld, Marshall, McCemsey, McDenell,
McElligett, McMullen, Pentz, Rathfon,
Raub, Reynelds, Schreyer, Shirk, Wicker
sham, White and Dr. McCormick, presi
dent The secretary read the call for Uie meet
ing and President McCormick in announ
cing the object said :
"It becomes my painful duty te an
nounce te the beard the death of one of Its
most premising members, O. Edw. Hego Hege
ner. Though only a member for the past
two years, Mr. Hegener took a deep inter
est in school affairs, and participated ac
tively in all matters cennected with our
schools. He was regular In his attendance
at the meetings, prompt in the discharge of
his duties and fearless In the expression of
his conviction. In short, he possessod the
qualltles which go te make up the true
school director, and by his death this beard
loses ene of Us most efficient members."
Mr. Schreyer was the next spoaker. He
said : "In 1805 thore were four boys in the
higlt school who at the last meeting of the
beard were present as members of this
body. Three of them are with us te-night,
Mr. McElligett Mr. Whlte and myself.
The fourth, M r. Hegoner, has passed away.
Knewing him as I did, from boyhood, let
me say that in all the years that I knew
him he was an upright, honest man, and
what higher trlbute can I pay him. A
month or two age he and I were talking of
our school days and both said that the les les
eons and advlce received from the fifteen
minutes' talks of Mr. McCaskey, then, as
new, a tcaoher In the high school, were
worth mere te us than all the books In tbe
school, and thore are hundreds of boys in
,this city who are of the same opinion.
"Mr. Hegener will net only be missed In
the beard but the city will leso a geed
citlzen, his associates In the building
association a geed secretary, his churth
societies an efuclent leader, many a firm
friend and his bereaved family a kind
father and loving husband."
Mr. McComsey heartily concurred
in what the preceding speakers said.
Mr. Hogenor's death has been ene
of the surprises of his llfe. He did net
knew that he was sick until he heard of
his death. He was here at the roll call at
the last meeting, seemingly strong, In the
vigor of life. Had any ene asked the
speaker who would be the next member te
die he would unhesitating put Mr. Hego Hege
ners name amonglheso least likely te be
called away. Hlsdeath'lsa sad reflection
en the uncertainty of life. Little did Mr.
Hejener think when he answered roll call
at the January meeting that before the next
meeting he would answer roll call te a
higher power.
Knewing Mr. Hegener from Ills boyhood
days, for he was a pupil in the public
schools when he became a directer, his
death seems like a persenal bereavement
Mr. Hogenor was an Intelligent citlzen, a
useful man. He filled many rospenslblo
positions with fldelity and efficiency. As
assistant postmaster he was capable and
courteous, with a record wheu he left the
office of which no ene noed be ashamed.
He Is geno, in the primoef life when soom seom soem
lngly long years were bofero him. In
speaking of his future Intentions only a
few weeks age, Mr. Hegener told him that
be intended te take mero rest and comfort
in the future than he had in the past. His
death is but a solemn admonition and for
cibly brings te mind the following beauti
ful stanza from Bryant's Thanatepsls:
He live, that when thysuramens comes te Jein
The Innumerable caravan, which mete
Te that mysterious realm, where eacli shall take
His chamber In the xtlent halls of death,
Theu go net, like the quarry -sluve at ntKht,
Hceurged te his dungeon, but, sustained and
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave.
Like one who wraps ttie drapery or hit couch
About htm, and lies down te pleasant dreams.
MJOUlfHl
In conclusion Mr. McCemsey moved
that a committee of three be appointed te
express the sense of the beard en the dcatli
of Mr. Hegener.
Dr. Wickersham, in secending the mo
tion for the appointment of a commltteo,
said : " When any member Is taken from us
there is sense of sadness. When death
takes one of the youngest members, It Is
inexpressibly sad. I knew Mr. Hegener
well. He was cennected with the In
quirer Printing company for 20 years.
When I first knew Mr. Hogener he
had Just passed from his apprenticeship at
the trade of printing. His apt n ohm and
faithfulness wero neted, and he was pro
moted from ene position te anether until
he bocame book-keeper. He was as faith
ful, trustworthy and iionest man us ever
had charge of any establishment. He gave
entire satisfaction te his employers, was a
medel accountant, and I was very sorry
that he was taken from ills position
and given an honerablo and rospenslblo
office He discharged the duties of that trust
efficiently, gave ontlre satisfaction te
the public, and retired from that olllce with
the regret of many cltizens. He was prom
inently connected with building associa
tions and church socletlos, and in all the
positions he occupied he discharged his
duty ably. When he came Inte tbe school
beard he was placed en the finance com cem com
mlteoo, an honor seldom accorded te a
young member. Mr. Hegoner was grow
ing in the esteem of the beard, and would
have been ene of its most otllcieut mem
bers had he been spared, and he would
have been u leader of the yeunger mem
bers." In conclusion, he said he was erry
te hear of Mr. Hegener's death, and he
would fellow his body te the grave with
a sod heart
The motion te appoint a committee ou
resolutions was adopted, and Messrs. Mc Mc Mc
Comeoy, Wlckersham and Dr. Raub were
named as the committee.
The oemmitteo retired, propared and re
ported the following :
Whereas, An all-wise Providence hav
ing removed by death, In the prime of life,
our late esteemed fellow member, O.
Edward Hegener, und
Wiikbuah, While we bow in submission
te the divine will of Him who doeth all
things wisely and well, we, nevertheless,
en account of his Intelligence, activity and
usefulness as a member nf this beard, and
as a citizen, deeply regret ills seeming un un
tlmely death ; therefore
Jleselved, That, as a mark of apprecia
tion of our less, and as a last tribute nf
respect te his memory, this beard attend
the funeral of our late fellow member, O.
M1HUIU IICUIIUI, III W I.VUJ'.
Heselved, That theso proceedings be
entered upon the minutes and a copy of
tbe same transmitted te the bereaved
family, together with the sincere sympathy
and coudelence of this beard.
In seconding the motion te adept the
resolutions Mr. Cochran said he had
known Mr. Hegener for many years.
They started in llfe together about the
same time, and although their paths di
verged, they always remained fast friends.
He endorsed ail that had been said about
Mr. Hegener's untiring industry and in
tegrity, He never knew a young member

of the beard who forged se rapidly te tbe
front As a member of the finance com
mittee he was faithful In the discharge of
his duty, and that commlttee In his death
lest a valuable member.
Mr. Rellly said where se much had been
said concerning our doceosod fellow-member
It seemed almost superfluous te add
anything. As ene of the yeunger mem-,
bers he desired te votce his boroavo beroavo boreavo
ment at the death of Mr. Hegener.
He was a singularly progressive
young man. He thought out a
line of policy and followed it
When he was your tfriend he was a
warm friend and when he was your op
ponent be used all honerablo menus te
make his opposition felt He was at all
times honest in bis purnose and the speaker
felt that this beard would net seen again

The resolutions were unanimously
adopted and the beard adjourned (e meet
at 8:30 o'clock en Wednesday morning te
attend his funeral.

REED'S HUNKER IIIT.T..
A Victory That Is Sure te De the
Spoaker Ilnrm.
Thore was a parliamentary centest in the
Heuso en Tuesday evor a quostlen raised
by Mr. Bland te have the Journal of Mon
day's proceedings correctod se as te show
that he had demanded the appointment of
tellers en a motion te adjourn. The in
cident referred te was as fellows :
After the adjournment of the commlttee
of the whele en Monday, Speaker Reed
turned his back te the Democrats and be
gan recognizing Republicans for the Intro
duction of bills. Mr. Bland left his seat
and, advancing te the speaker's desk,
moved an adjournment. Mr. Reed put the
auostlen, and en the vlva-voce vete nastily
eclded the motion was lest. Mr. Bland
cried " division." and the speaker counted
the votes at railroad spced, deciding that
the ayes were fewer than the noes. hi
both cases it seemed te the spectators that
tbe ayes tiad it.
Mr. Bland demanded the appointment of
tellers. The speaker roplled, " There is no
prevision for tellers. " He again turned
his back te the Democratic slde and recog
nized all Republicans who wished te in
troduce bills, after which he allowed the
Heuse te adjourn.
On Tuesday the speaker explained that
this reply was in ado in an intorregntlvo
form. Such details wero net Inserted in
the Journal. Bland's motion for correc
tion was nut by the speaker, and en a
division declared lest Thereupon Bland
demanded tellers. Te the speaker's in
quiry for tlie ground en which the de
mand for tellers was made, Bland roplled
that it was made under the goueral prac
tice of the Heuso. The speaker decided
there was no prevision In general parlia
mentary pracllce for the appointment of
tellers, and decllned te entertain It. Mr.
Bland appealed from the decision of the
chair, and upon this issue the centest was
made. After a protracted debate, the de
cision of the chair was sustained by a par
tisan vete, 140 te 130.
The Democrats argued that a vete by
tellers was as much a part of general parlia
mentary usage as a motion te adjourn, and
was the only methed by which an orrone errone orrene
ous or arbitrary decision by the spoaker
could be exhibited and corrected.
The Republicans replied that it was
net proper te cumber the recerds with de
tails. The appointment of tellers was au
thorized under rules of preceding Con Cen Con
gressos, but theso rules did net bind the
present Congress.
The count by tellers has always been
practiced in the Heuso. When the Heuso
votes viva voce the speaker must decide
according te the velume of sound. The
decision is nover peremptory, but is always
aualliled by the precautionary obsorva ebsorva observa
on: "The ayes appear te have It." If a
member has reasen te doubt the correct
ness of the speaker's opinion, he demands
a "division," upon which all favoring the
motion are called te stand up that the
speaker may count them. The otlier side Is
counted in like manner.and the result of the
count stated. Still doubting the accuracy of
the counts a member may demand "tel
lers," and If one-flfth of theso who voted
sustain tbe demand, tellers are ordered.
A momber Is selected from each slde and
both take their places at the head of the
main aisle. Theso In tlie affirmative first
pass and are counted and the negative fol fel
lows. In this manner a correct count is
secured, and the count by tellers has fre
quently revealed that the count of the
speaker was flagrantly Incorreet. Tlie
right te have a yea and nay vete is secured
by the constitution, which declares that
"the yeas and nays of the members of
either Heuse en any question shall, at the
doslre of one-flfth of theso present, be
entered en the Journal."
Joek Out, Mr. Spoaker !
Frem the Philadelphia Icdger.
Speaker Reed gees en from had te worse
The Democrats have te enter nrntnsts
against tils arbitrary rulings tokeep their
own rocerdscloar; otherwise they might, as
a matter of party policy, enceurage him in
his bad ceurse, which Is pretty sure te
cnure te their advantage when the next
congressional elections take place. If Mr.
Rceu will net leek up or rccognlze the
rules of preceding Cougressos, lie ought at
least te read the history of theso Congresses
and of speakers like himself.

Bishop Hnre Objoets te n Prohibition
Bill Which Denies the Use or It-A
Sensation In Sonth Dakota.
PiKnnts, S. D Jan. 22. The petition of
Bishop W. II. Hare, of Sioux Falls, head
of the Episcopal church in Dakota, was
prosentcd te both branches of the legisla
ture yosterday and caused considerable
excitement, especially among the lobby of
Prohibitionists.
Bishop Hare emphatically pretosts
against the adoption of the prohibition bill
new before the Legislature and which lias
every prospect or becoming law, stat
ing that it Is tee stringent in its previsions
and strider than thore Is any call for.
Bishop Hare says tlie bill evon Interferes
botween the state and church, bocause it
prohibits the tisoefwlno for sacramental
purpeses. Tlie bishop cites tlie Blble and
ethor authorities te show that tlie use of
fermonted wine for sacramental purpeses
Is right He lliorefero prays that the
prohibition bill may net bocemo law, or at
loestthat this obnoxious feature Ue stricken
out.
The pending bill Is said te be tlie most
stringent prohibition incasure ever drawn
up; .
The combined efforts of the State Prohi
bition Lcague and W. C. T. If. are being

Washington Cniup, Pntrlolle Sens or
America, Have it lMildle Meeting.
Washington Camp, Ne. 27, P.O. S. of A,,
celebrated its elglith anniversary last eve
ning. Tlie members assembled at their
place of meeting, In tlie Inquirer building,
at 7 o'clock and after the transaction of
business they proceodod in n body te tlie
court heuse, where n geed sized audlonce
hed ossemblod te hear tlie objects of the
organization explained.
Past-Prosldeut J. P. Wlnower prcslded,
and in a few chosen remarks introduced
Mayer Kennoy, of Readliig, state president
of the organization, who spoke at length
en tlie objects of the order. Among ethor
things he said: The object of this
organization is te inculcate patriotism
Inte the hearts of the Amerlcan
poeplo, and te discouinge any un
American transactions or surroundings.
Te preserve the priuclples or our govorn gevorn govern
mont, as handed down te us by our fatliera,
and te preperly presorve theso principles
u is necessary that we should fully under
stand theso principles. Theso tlie mem
bers of the organization discuss and study
in their meetings. Next te patriotism we
esteem education as an essential, and te
make this general tbougheut the land we
bolieve In and support the public school
system. Fer hore tlie citlzen may ao ae ao
qulre that education that Is necessary for
him te have that he may he a geed citlzen.
Whlle there Is no apparent danger from
outside onemles, we have among us anar
chists, communists, Ac., and we bolleve it
te be our duty te be en tlie lookout for all
such. We are sotnewliat committed te the
restriction of emigration, and whlle we bo be bo
leove, like our fathers, that this should be
an asylum for the eppressed of all nations,
we consider It te be necessary for the geed
of the nation that we should keep out
from among us all theso who Icave their
homes In ethor lands for the geed of the
lands they loave. We holievo that these
whom we adept should be able le read, te
understand our laws, and without any
reference te religious sects of any kind,
should have seme kind of fultli in a
Supreme Doing. This feeling of patriotism
is spreading and we are new roce Iving re re ro
quests from all sources te oxtend tiie or
ganization, and fcel much encouraged at
this display of the growth of patriotism.

THE LUCKY MULE.
An Old Animal Escapes Frem raegtey's
Htabla Whlla tlm irn.. ii ......
One of the luckiest animals en the face of
me carui is an old mule. Some of thorn
have been known te dle, but very few.
Somettmos they are klltedlbut seldem. It
is said that the elder they become the mero
difficult It is te kill or lnjure them. At
present thore arc numbers of donkeys en
thosUge that have been playing In "Uncle
Tem's Cabin" and "Humpty Dumpty"
troupes for a quarter of a ccatury.
Some of theso have seen very many
Uncle 7ms whipped and Evas ascend
te heaven, and they still live te carry that
curious individual, Marks, upon the stage
Just tee late te cateh Jtlita Harris. There
Is another occupation for which mules have
a fenduess, and that Is te haul a huckster
wagon. Thore are seme animals In tills
city which are said te have been drawing
wagons since the oyster first made its np np
pearauce here. Their whiskers are some
what gray and they nre"sllghtlydIsflgured
but still In the ring." Jehn Faegley is
the ewner of ene of this kind or
mules. Some tlme age the animal was
sold in Centre Square by Fred Wilhelm,
and he was knocked down te a man at
11.25. He afterwards eome Inte the pos
session or Mr. Faegley, who paid 7ft cents
for him. The mule was unfortunnte
enough te be In Mr. Fnogley's stnble when
the Are broke out en Monday night He
bad tee geed a head en him te re
main thore and be reasted like the
less intelligent horaes, however, nor
did he wait for nnyone te assist
him in getting out. He left the building
at ence, but hew he get out is net exactly
known. He was found safe and sound
seen afterwards and he will likely live te
step upon tiie nuclloneor's block In Ceutre
Square again.

Judge Pattersen, of Lancaster, gave a
tlmely admonition te the governor and the
beard of pardons In a roceut charge te the
grandjury. Thore have been two convicted
murderers in the Lancaster Jail for a long
period nnd tlie administration of Justlce has
been hlndered by the new common inter
ference with the solemn Judgments of tlie
courts.
It Is said by seme that the Lancaster
Judge transconded his duties in declaring
te mn rttihlln ivlitr f Iia ln.1i..iA..f.. ni i.M
courts are net exocuted. On tlie contrary
iiu uiu uAHuiiy iiKi, mm wunt every inuge

Se common lias bocemo tlie interference
with the Judgments of our courts In mur
der cases that the law has bocemo Impo
tent as tlie handmaid of Justlce. The gov
ernor has surrendered his high prerogative
te an Irrospensihlo pardon beard, and the
pardon beard assumes te retry overyenso
that is pressed upon it, and often en evl evl evl
doneo that none would dare te prosent te a

Thus Is Justlce mocked In Pennsylvania,
and Judge Patterson has honored the ju
diciary by speaking the exact truth from
the bench as te the dofeat or tlie law and
Us judgments In a thoroughly law-loving
community.
