GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAI
The great topic of conversation among
local baseball patrons yesterday -was, of
course, the reported collapse of the Indian
apolis club. Opinions were considerably
divided as to what the object of the stock
holders of the club is. The two leading opin
ions are to the effect that the club has be
come an absolute financial wreck, and that
it is a move to freeze out a numberof unde
fiired small stockholders and get clear of a
certain amount of indebtedness. During a
conversation on the matter, President Nitnick
said:
"Indianapolis will not quit There will be a
club in that city again this ear, and, while
baseball matters may look a little gloomy there
now, it will all come out right in plenty of time
for the Hoosier team to tako the field whon the
League championship season opens. In other
words," continued President Nitniek, "I thihk
the capitalists of the Indianapolis club have
become tired of putting np their money for the
benefit of the army of stockholders, a majority
of whom own but one share each and will do
nothing to help the club along. Just as soon
as the Brush crowd obtain the stock you mar
ljok f or encouraging baseball news from In
dianapolis. Mr. Brush is a good, live business
man, and he takes a great interest in the club.
He also realizes that a League club is a capital
advertisement for any city, and he won't aban
don the club if it is possible to carry it along.
The Pittsburg club was in precisely the same
condition when we first took it. Four of us
eaid we would pay off all the indebtedness and
put a good team in the field if the stockholders
would turn their stock over to ns, which they
did."
MAKAGEB PHILUrS OFXXXOX.
Manager Phillips holds a similar opinion,
and thinks all will come right Al Pratt said:
"There may be something serious in the
action of the Indianapolis club; that is,
the stockholders may have been forced to
break up their organization. If this is a fact I
don't think that the result will be as serious to
the National League as many people imagine.
The League will be able to get another club, I
think, and even if that cannot be done it is
possible to get along with seven clubs. The
American Association once continued with
onlt five clubs. But if that would not be satis
factory the League will get along all right with
Bix clubs for a season."
There was still another opinion prevailing,
and this was to the effect that the collapse of
Indianapolis has been expected by the League
magnates, and. therefore, jirovision has been
made for the breakdown. This provision, it is
claimed, is that Cincinnati will bo ready to
jump in and fill the vacancy when called upon.
Bo far Cincinnati has signed none of its old
plajers, and this fact apparently "gives rise to
the opinion just quoted above. There is, how
ever, nothing tangible to support it.
THE HOOSIEKS MAY KEEP IT.
After considering the matter in all its bear
ings, together with the opinions of the "au
thorities," it does seem likely that the Indian
apolis franchise will remain in that city. As
President Nimick states, President Brush is'
an ardent baseball patron, and it will not be a
difficult matter to organize another association
to purchase the franchise. Of course it is true
that the franchise has been tendered to Presi
dent V'oung, but it is easv to understand how
arrangements may have been made to have the
franchise returned under certain conditions to
any new company that may be formed. It is
also understood that even this arrangement
cannot be carried out except by a meeting of
the League directors.
It is true that Indianapolis has not been
doing much bustling so far this winter, and
this fact prompts the notion that the collapse
had been made in good faith: but on the other
hand it may be stated that there would be no
desire to "hustle" for new and good players
until the financial difficulties w pre tided over.
It is a fact well understood that Indianapolis
Is not a profitable baseball town, and whether
or not the club will be reorganized for next
season it seems safe to say that it will not be in
the League next vear. It is not a League city.
Eastern authorities express the opinion that
it is doomed now, and that the collapse means
the disbandment of the club. It will, however,
take time to prove whether or not this opinion
is true. At any rate, no matter how we look at
the case, it is a very unpleasant occurrence for
the League. It may be that it will hasten a
consolidation of all the big and profitable cities
In one great organization.
Will Go to Baltimore.
LotJlsviLLE, Ky., January 2i President
Davidson announced to-night that he has ex
changed Heckcr and Cook, one of Louisville's
batteries, for Tucker, the first baseman of the
Baltimore, and a banns. He declined to say
what amount the bonus was, but said Tucker
would play first base for the Loulsvilles, but
had not decided what battery would replace
the old one. He thought, however, he already
had enough material to make the requisite bat
tery. Heckerand Cook, it is understood, will
be placed as a battery by the Baltlmores.
Pedestrians in Towii.
Engledrum and Nolan, the pedestrians, ar
rived in the city yesterday. The former states
that the contemplated race at Parkersburg, W.
Va will not take place. He thinks of return
ing to Chicago. He says that Cox is still sick
from the effects of the Pittsbnrg race. Nolan,
who won the Warren race last week, states
that the contest was well patronized. He re
marked that it was not as severe as the Pitts
burg race, which he considers one of the hard
est ever run.
The Baldwin Shooter.
The Baldwin Gun Club held their first an
nual shoot Saturday on their grounds, and the
score was very creditable. The score was: At
25 blue rocks, Fred P. Slicker, 22: George
Keilly, 20; William F. Hopper, 18: James
Keillv. 18: John Oesterroier, 14; J. Bittner, 16:
Dan Keilly, 19, and M. Eeilly, 11. The club will
hold another shoot next Saturday, at which
the winner will carry the medal until the next
meeting. A good time is looked for.
Norvel Defeated Bnbenr.
A match race for 40 a side between George
Bubear and George Norvel, the young Tyne
eider, took place on the Tyne, England, two
weeks ago. The distance was a half mile, and
the race was arranged only a few hours before
; it took place. It was the result of "bluif" on
the part of Bubear. The betting was lively at
2 to 1 on Norvel, who won easily. He led from
start to finish. The winner is superior to
Charley Carr.
Excellent Prospects.
Almost all arrangements have been com
pleted for the dog show next week, except, of
course, the work necessary to fix the interior
of the rink. Prof. Parker, with his large
troupe of performing dogs, will he here, and
undoubtedly they will be one ot the great fea
tures of the show. There are more than 300
entries, being 100 more than were expected a
few day sago.

TRI.STATE LEAGUE.

Clnb.
ISriCCtAL TKX.EGK1U to tux disfatch.i
Canton, O., January 21 It is now almost a
certainty that there will be a Trl-State League
next season, it being expected that the ques
tion will be decided affirmatively at the League
meeting here next week. Of the original 10
clubs of last season only three Wheeling,
Mansfield and Canton will be in this season.
Of the remaining seren Columbus goes into
the American and Toledo into the Internation
al Association; Jackson and Kalamazoo, if they
have clubs, will join fortunes with some minor
league in and about Michigan; ZanesviUe,after
two disastrous seasons financially, has decided
to quit; Sandusky is played out and Lima
scared out because it cost her a small fortune
to win the pennant last year. Eight clubs are
figured on for this year, the new towns being
Dayton, Springfield, Fort Wayne, Ind.. Steu
benville and East Liverpool jointly, with the
eighth place in dispute between Newark, 0.,
and Erie, Pa.
The error last season lay in the payment of
larger salaries than were guaranteed by the re
ceipts, forcing some of the more poorly patron
ized teams to the wall, and making them all
quit loser. This is being already rectified this
year by Wheeling. Mansfield and Canton, who
are signing men at only such salaries that they
can at the lowest play even on. Canton games
were the best attended, and as a result she
came out best financially, being only $000 in the
hole. Toledo is reported to have lost S3.000, and
the other towns' losses are sandwiched between
these amounts. President Talor, of the Mans
field club, -Bill probably be elected President of
the new league, and Canton officials think he
can pull the league through the season without
the loss of a single club.
So far Canton has sigded the following play
ers: Borchers, pitcher; Doyle, catcher; Miller,
short stop; Nightengale, second base; Brisker,
third base: Hutchinson, left field: Gentleman,
center field; Ryn, right field. A first baseman,
another battery and probably a third pitcher
will complete the team.
LOOKING MORE HOPEFUL.

Indianapolis People Desire to
Keep
the
Club's Franchise.
rSPECIAL TELEPBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Indiakapoms, January 21 Although In
dianapolis is not in the National Baseball
League to-day, it is not improbable that she
will be again before the close of tho week. The
surrender of the franchise is regarded as a
mistake, and there are several men ready with
the requisite capital to take the club upon the
same terms that it was given to the stock com
pany which ha9 just failed, and if they do not
secure the franchise a new association will be
formed. It is believed that it will be a good
investment It is estimated that the expenses
will be from $13,000 to 518,000 less than last year,
and as the deficiency for tho season was about
S1G.000, it is calculated that the profits next
j ear ought to amount to at least 20,000.
The receipts in 1SSS were 857,000, and that,
too, in the face of al the political excitement
here which diverted attention from baseball,
and caused a much smaller attendance than
usual at the games that were played after mid
summer. Dickson andTalbott, proprietors of
the three theaters in Indianapolis, have opened
negotiations lor the purchase of the club, hav
ing telegraphed to President Young as follows:
"Is the lranchise of the Indianapolis club for
sale, and what will buy it? Wo will purchase
it if we can get it at a reasonable figure, and
will agree to run the club here."
They propose to purchase the club solely as a
business venture, and if they sccuie it they
think they will get better worK out of the men
than has been done heretofore.
HAMILTON ADMITTED.
Rowe is Present nt the Meeting of the In
ternational Association.
Buffalo, January 22. A meeting of the
International Baseball Association was held
here to day. The principal object of the meet
ing was the admission of a club to fill the
vacancy caused by the retirement of Hamilton.
Newark, Jersey City and Hamilton itself are
applicants, the latter having raised the neces
sary money to come in again. After an all-day
session, the association this evening decided to
admit Hamilton to membership. This was ac
complished through the concessions of Buffalo,
Toledo and Detroit, and to avoid the necessity
of keeping the delegates in session all night.
The salary limit was another interesting
topic it being understood that Buffalo, De
troit and Toronto would favor an increase,
while most of the others would do their utmost
to have it remain at 12.500. After a long de
bate the limit n as raised to 13,500. Proposi
tions ere made from SIS. 000 down, but Syra
cuse and Rochester threatened to quit if anv
high figure was adopted, and it was only with
the greatest difficulty that Syracuse was per
suaded to agree to any change.
The season will open on April 27 and close
September 30. The Schedule Committee will
meet in March in Rochester instead of Buffalo.
It was decided to sustain the Rochester club in
reserving Sutton, the third baseman, who has
gone to Milwaukee, and the case will now go
before the National Arbitration Committee.
Rowe was at the meeting as a delegate from
Buffalo.
OPINION'S AT WASHINGTON.
Authorities at the Capital Seem a Little
Too Previous.
rSFKCIAI. TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, January 22. The collapse of
the Indianapolis club occasioned much sur
prise at League headquarters to-day. A num
ber of complications are apt to arise, and there
fore it will be necessary for the League mag
nates to take counsel together as to the selec
tion of another club to fill tho vacancy and the
disposition of the Indianapolis players under
the League rules. The players of a disbanded
club remain under the control of the League
until they are disposed of to other clubs.
The status of Denny and Glasscock remain
unchanged so far as the League is concerned,
and they can only be transferred to some other
club with the approval of the League. There
wilt, of course, be a lively scramble for nearly
all of the members of the Hoosier team, es
pecially Denny, Glasscock, Hines, Boyle,
Myers and Bassett It is possible that the
League will defer all action regarding the dis
posal of these players until it can be deter
mined what club is to succeed Indianapolis.
Speculation has already commenced on that
subject, and the indications point directly to
Cincinnati. It can be said with safety that the
Detroit club will not re-enter the League, ;and
as the eighth member of the League must come
from the West, Cincinnati has the call in the

CARDIFF WINS THE FIGHT.
He
and Fell Warmly Contest 15 Rounds
With Gloves at Minneapolis.
Minneapolis. January 22. The fight be

the champion heavy-weight of Michigan, took
place this evening in the presence of an audi
ence of at least 2,000. By the articles of agree

of Queensbury rules, for 250 a side and 75 and
25percentof the gate receipts. Small gloves
were used. Fell entered the ring weighing 160
Jounds. Cardiff weighed 180 pounds, and Prof,
ohn Donaldson and Pat McCartlin were be
hind him. Both men were in excellent condi

Fell pushed the fighting from the beginning,
though in the first two rounds neither man had
any particular advantage. Cardiff, however,
claimed first bl od. At the end of the fifteenth
round the referee decided the fight in favor of
Cardiff.

1BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, January 22. The Tory knight,
who owns the offending Sheffield news
paper, sent an abject apology to Sir Charles
Russell, who, in consequence, to the great
reliet'of the commissioners, did not press for
punishment, and after a little speech from
President Hannen, in the conrse of which
he hinted the belief that journalists are not
possessed of ordinary human feelings, the
court settled down to business.
Patrick Farragher, formerly a clerk in
the Land League Offices at Dublin, swore
that Egan and other League officials were
in frequent communication with the mem
bers of the Invincible conspiracy, and that
money occasionally passed. The witness
told of the spiriting away of the League
books atthe time the organization was sup
pressed, and of other matters which have
been common gossip in Dublin for years
past. The Timet' counsel made the most
of their witness, whom they evidently re
garded as of the greatest value, but his evi
dence, when analyzed and sifted, did not
amount to much, and in cross-examination
it became almost purely negative. Farra
gher's personal character, like most of the
Times' witnesses, would not bear the test
of cross-examination.
Farragher deposed that Archbishop
Walsh, in Mr, Davitt's presence, had ad
vised him not to pay his rent,' and that he
(Farragher) was evicted. He was alter
ward employed in the offices of the Dublin
branch of the League. "Witness also testi
fied that he had carried letters, some of
which contained checks, from Mr. Patrick
Egan to Mullett, the Invincible. Farra
gher further testified that Mr. Arthur
O'Connor, member'of Parliament for East
Donegal, held an important post in the
League. Messrs. Davitt, Sexton and Har
rington were members of the executive.
"Witness lodged with Weldon, who had been
tried for the murder of young Castlereagh.
Weldon afterward went to Manchester, hav
ing a check for his expenses which was
drawn on the Hibernian bank. Nally used
to visit the Leagne rooms.
Sir Charles Russell protested against the
introduction of this evidence. He stated
that Nally was nndergoing a sentence, and
t that he objected to an inquirv being made
into the circumstances of Naily's crime in
order to damage members of the House of
Commons, who, it was alleged, associated
with him. The members of the court con
ferred and decided that the evidence con
cerning Nally was admissible. Farragher
continued his testimonv. He said he had
seen Mr. Parnell and Sexton attend meet
ings of the League as members of the execu
tive. BOULANGEE HUSTLING.
He Is Making It Lively for Everybody The
Opposition Mincing Mhd.
Pabis, January 22. Boulangerists are
showing great energy all along the line.
Boulanger will not have himself to blame if
he does not head the poll next Sunday.
During this week he will keep his house
open to all comers, the reception lasting
from 7 A. M. to 7 P. M.' Yesterday and the
day before the General was called upon by
a constant stream of uniformed officers of
the Territorial army, who had come to Paris
to attend the military ball. The scene re
sembled an army demonstration in favor of
the General.
Royalists are still divided on the question
of abstaining from voting. General Mon
tandon, Royalist, who was lately returned
for Somme on the Boulangist ticket, was
welcomed in the Cha'mber of Deputies to
day by Admiral D'Hornoy in an address in
which Boulanger was not alluded to. On
the other hand Imperialists excel in activi
ty for the General. M. Barail denounces
abstention as effacement of the party, and
invokes the aid of every Conservative'lmpe-
nalist.
The language of the press waxes warm.
The National asserts that the dead father of
Bonlanger was a usurer; the executed mur
derer, Campi, was the General's brother,
and that the man . murdered, who was
named Ducrot, was a' business partner of
Boulanger here. The squabbles of the Gen
eral's domestic life, his debts and intrigues
are also detailed. The Boulangerists re
spond by harping upon the charge that the
Government is employing the secret service
fund in the interest of M. Jacques. Mean
while the inactivity of M. Jacques annoys
his supporters, who are seeking even now
another candidate!)
The betting onj the Bourse varies daily.
To-day the calculators gave Boulanger 215,
000 votes against' 170,000, and odds were
laid against the Republican candidate.
The influence of the members of the Muni
cipal Council, who are almost unanimously
against Boulanger, is the leading factor in
making his success doubtful.

Berlin, January 22. The Emin Belief
Committee meet to-morrow to finally decide
upon a plan for the expedition. The route
through the Vitu territory proposed by
Captain "Wissmann is regarded as the best,
as the expedition, by proceeding- along the

territory. A section of the committee, hold
ing that the expedition has English sym

was intended to dispatch British relief for
Wadelai. Probably the committee will
decide to leave the ultimate selection of the
route to the leaders after reaching Zanzibar.
Captain Wissmann will start next Mon
day with 20 officers. He will organize a
local force at Zanzibar, the first duty of
which will be to occupy the main outlets to

THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY
A DAEK ALLUSION
To Certain Documents That Implicate
Royalty In the Morier Scandal.
Beelin, January 22. The dark allusion
of the Cologne Gazette to certain documents
in the GefFcken case, which the paper say
were not published because political and
dynastic interests might suffer, refers to let
ters written by Morier while at Darmstadt,
in which Princess Alice and several English
royalties are involved. According to state
ments current in the official circle, if Prince
Bismarck is forced by political exigencies to
publish these letters, they will prove that
Frederick and his wife were indiscreet and
divulged the plans of Prussia, and that even
before the opening of the campaign of 1870
Darmstadt was the focus of intrigues against
the unification of Germany. The docu
ments that are withheld may afford ample
justification of Bismarck's accusations
against Frederick in his report to the pres
ent Emperor, but the strength of the public
feeling against further scandal has become
so extreme that the semi-official press has
received hints to cease discussing the sub
ject. The Worth German Gazette reprints the
statement published in the Cologne Gazette
that Count Solms-Sennerwaldes, German
Minister to Madrid, confirms the report of
Major Von Deines on the Morier affair, and
the comments of the Russian press on the
incident. It is now stated that Sir Robert
Morier is only once mentioned in the
GefFcken documents. This mention occurs
m a letter from Baron von Roggenbach to
Prof. Geffcken, which contains the words:
"Morier will arrive here to-morrow."
The republication of the foregoing is the
notice taken of the Morier incident by an
official paper. I is coupled with a state
ment calculated to modify the Cologne
Gazette's allegations regarding Prof.
Geffcken. The North German Gazette says
that Prof. GefFcken's examination before the
Hamburg Amtsgerisht showed that he is
simply suffering from nervous excitement,
which is easily remediable with rest and
hygiene, and that his mental powers are un
impaired. ST0ECKER IN HIS ELEMENT.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1
TJebana, O., January 22. In a fine two
story brick in this city resides the most pe
culiar family in the State. Their name is
Glenn. There are two sisters and one
brother left. Seventy-five years ago John
Glenn, of Scotch-Irish descent, moved from
Kentucky to sparsely settled Urbana. His
European ancestors had left him money.
This he invested in real estate, and to-day
the property of the Glenns is one of the
mos( valuable in Champaign coupty.
Old John died without a will, leaving
three sons and two daughters. The extensive
farms and city lots were owned in common.
The family coat-of-arms ornaments the front
door, the silver and fine china. The chil
dren had been most carefully educated, but
Seeuliarities were noticed early in life.
Tone ever married.
a boy's stbancje eevenoe.
Old John never went in debt. One day
he went to buy the three boys coats and
vests. Not having money enough he bought
none for John, Jr., telling him why. John
got mad and said: "You need never buy me
a coat: I will never wear one as long as you
live." He went to his room upstairs and
remained there without a coat until his
father died, 14 years after. His meals were
sent to him, and no one ever saw him out
of that room for the 14 years. "When his
father died he came downstairs, put on a
coat and went to the tuneral.
After the father's death the eccentric
children decided to have the entire house
frescoed in queer designs. Sending for a
noted frescoer, they gave him their ideas,
and for 10 months the man worked un
ceasingly. When he finished no such
house was to be iound in the State. Every
room, up and downstairs, contained on the
walls and ceilings animals, serpents and
strange pictures.
A QUAINT CRANK.
The sitting room represents a forest; from
the holes in the trunks of trees owls' heads
protrude, squirrels hide behind branches,
and birds of all descriptions are represent
ed. Dogs which belonged to prominent
citizens when the work was done are repre
sented in some portions of the house. The
family dog, lite size, greets people at the
head of a broad staircase. Panels of fine
inlail wood are found about the place.
While John, the peculiar, and a brother
were disputing about these designs, the
brother said: "John, I wish you would go
upstairs and stay there." John did so, re
maining as before for four years, coming
down to attend the brother's funeral.
Relics ot 150 years ago are in the house.
Mary D., the youngest sister, has charge of
all finances. She is a fine business woman.
John, the recluse, is bleached as white as a
woman because of his long confinement. He
is 65 years old and has been ont of the city
but once in 20 years.
VERY SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
Horrible Details of the Denth of a Chicago
Manufacturer.
Chicago, January 22. Frederick "W.
Bidwell, treasurer of the Manufacturers
Paper Company of New York, was found
dead in his room at the Grace Hotel to-day,
with his throat cut from ear to ear. A ra
zor was clutched in his hand. He retired
at a reasonable hour last night, with noth
ing unusual in his demeanor. This noon a
chambermaid making her rounds unsus
pectingly turned the door-knob, and find
ing it unlocked walked in. The
gas was still burning beside the mirror, but
a dash of blood stained the top of the dresser,
and blood trailed across the floor to the bed.
The pillows were soaked with blood. Death
seemingly was slow in coming, for theblood
stains showed that after being in the bed, he
had occupied a chair near the foot, from
which he pitched forward on his face, razor
in hand.
There were two horrible cuts in his throat,
the second half severing the windpipe and
extending from ear to ear. On the writing
table were paper and envelopes, but noth
ing written. Three sheets of this paper had
been twisted and burned, and then thrown
into the cuspidor near by. The paper was
so charred that the twisted bunch fell away
in black particles when it was lifted. Mr.
Bidwell, in addition to being treasurer of
the company, was its Western agent, hav
ing headquarters in this city. Mr. Bid
well's wife is in New York. She has been
here at different times, but makes her home
there. The mother of the dead man lives in
Buffalo.

IEFECIAL TELEGKAM TO TIIE DISPATCH!
Watnesburg, January 22. Upon court
convening this morning Attorney B. S. An
derson made a legal argument on the ad
missability of certain evidence, principally
declarations on the part of the defendant.
The first witness sworn was Charles How
ard, of Masontown, who said: "I was in
Dr. Neffs drugstore, I think in November,
and heard Zack Taylor say that the shot
would not have killed McCuusland, for he
was bit on the head with a stone. Also
heard him say at another time they had not
the right parties arrested yet."
Taylor told William Lemmon he was on
Commou Hill all the forenoon of. the morn
ing McCausland was murdered. C. L.
Cowell, of Cumberland township, said that
on September 12 he was at Joseph Martin's,
and saw George Clark there with a revolver.
He had seen the revolver several times
before. The revolver was produced and
identified by the word "Alaska" and the
caliber. Here the Commonwealth rested.

the Legislators at Harrishurg. He met
members of the Allegheny delegation, and
also sat quietly in a back seat during the
caucus and listened to the speeches. He
was much disappointed when it was all
over, and said it was one of the worst things
that ever happened. It looked to him as
though the liquor interest had been aban
doned by its friends. Mr. Eberhart thought
it rather hard that the proposition to de
stroy the property of the liquor men should
not be met by another to compensate them
for the destruction.
"The country," he said, "'has prospered
while liquor has been sold. If it hadn't it
would be different. We' have," he con
tinued, "paid 550,000 a year to the United
States Government to carry on our business
in Allegheny county.nd we have paid
about 5,000 yearly to.the county. I don't
think an institution that does that ought to
be wiped out without a thought of the in
jury done and the disarrangement of'busi
ness it will cause. But what can we do ?
If this thing goes through with no provision
for compensation, and the people carry it,
we see staring us in the face the decision of
the United States Supreme Court that we
have no redress in law."
A GO-AS-YOU-PLEASE.
Tho Democrats Decide to Tote Each
One for Hinmlf Several Significant
Speeches Made nt a Lively Cancns An
Expression of Opinion Considered Unad
vlsable. The Democrats held a lively caucus this
morning, from 10 to 11 o'clock. There were
some spirited speeches made, Mr. Bitter, of
Lycoming, set the ball rolling with a reso
lution binding the Democrats to abstain
from voting. There was a great deal of op
position. In fact, it was nearly unani
mous. Mr. Quigley, of Philadelphia, re
ceived much applause when he referred to
the days of the late war, telling how the
handful of Democrats in the House at that
time stood together and did not conceal
their opinions, in spite of the danger of ex
pressing them. If any one wanted the
Democrats to go into the House: now and
vote like cowards and enrs, he wanted it
understood he didn't stand in with him.
Mr. "Wherry, of Cnmberland,representing
the Democrats who had pledged themselves
to their constituents for reasons peculiar to
their localities to vote for submission, ex
plained his position and opposed action by
the caucus that would bind the members.
Many were pledged to vote against submis
sion and some were pledged to vote for it.
These gentlemen felt their duty to be to
their own people first and to the caucus
afterward, and he thought under the cir
cumstances a resolution binding the mem
bers would be very unwise.
A substitute for the original resolution
was here moved, and the members were left
unpledged, both on this point and on the
subject of a general special election. A
significant speech made during the caucus
was that of Mr. Roper, of Lehigh, who de
clared that the Democratic party must not
pnt itself forward as the special champion
of the liquor interest, which had never helped
the Democratic party. He declared that if the
party had had the aid of the liquor men
in the last campaign Chauncey Black, in
stead of General Beaver, would now be
seated in the Gubernatorial chair. He be
lieved the party ought to oppose the prohi
bition amendment solely on the ground that
it proposed to destroy a large amount of the
property of the Commonwealth without
reasonable or other compensation.
The caucus was closed with a hot shot
from Mr. Weber.of Lycoming, who had made
several warm speeches while others were
putting themselves on record. Mr. Weber
told his fellow Democrats that whether
against submission or whether they
voted for it they had permitted them
selves to be forced into that position by the
Republicans. He asserted, and he didn't
care who knew it, that the only indepen
dent policy for the Democrats was to
abstain from voting either way.
MUST BE VOTED ON.
The fipccinl Prohibition Election Will be
Held in Jnno as Agreed Upon.
Eight members of the Allegheny county
delegation to-day voted against submission
of the prohibitory Constitutional amend
ment to the people. They were Messrs.
Robinson, Shiras, Lemon, Richards, Laffer
ty, Chalfant and Weaver, Republicans, and
Mr. Bulger, the solitary Democrat of the
delegation. Messrs. Graham, Marshall, Mar
land, Jones, Nesbit, McCullough and Stew
art voted in favor of it. Mr. White was ab
sent in Philadelphia, and consequently did
not vote. Some unknown person answered
to his name on the negative side, but the
fraud or mistake was discovered after the
adjournment of the session, and the official
record corrected by the Clerk of the House.
Three Democrats voted for submission,
and Flickinger, of Erie, was the only Re
publican, aside from the Alleghenians, who
voted in defiance of the caucus rule. The
absentees were few, and would not have
affected the general result. The vote was 132
yeas and 55 nays. Srursox.

rFKOJI A STAFF CORBESPOXBENT.l
Habbisbubo, January 22. C. L. Magee
and George von Bonnhorst arrived at the
Lochiel this afternoon. Mr. Yon Bonn
horst was questioned concerning the re
ported reconciliation of Mr. Magee and Mr.
Quay. "I don't know anything about it,"
was the reply.
"But isn't it true that Mr. Magee was in
vited to Washington for the purpose of be
ing reconciled?"
"Not that I know of. I believe the invi
tation was from Mrs. Cameron to Mrs.
Magee."
The same question was asked Mr. Magee
later, and he replied that it was not true.
"Havo you any differences to settle with
Quay?"
"I can't say that I have."
On subjects of State politics Mr. Magee
professed dense and diplomatic ignorance,
hut stated that the thousand-foot parallel
provision of the city passenger railway bill,
introduced by Mr. Lafterty, was inserted by
Philadelphians who don't want legislation
on the subject, and will probably kill the
bill.
Senators Rutan and Delamater returned
from Washington this evening, where they
had gone to confer with Senator Quay.

FHOM A STAFP COHKESFOSDErr.
Habbisbubg, January 22. A sub-committee
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee, which goes to Philadelphia Thurs
day, will examine thoroughly the House of
Refuge and the Eastern Penitentiary. The
latter asks an appropriation of $82,000 for
salaries, but as it has about $30,000 of un
expended appropriations, and $70,000 ac
cumulated profits on the work of convicts
during 50 years, it may not get it, money
being short this year.
In the reports of the sub committee, the-
appropriation lor tne completion of the
work at the "Western Penitentiary is cut
down from $120,000 to $70,000, which is
thought to be enough for present require
ments, as there yet remains to the credit of
the penitentiary an unexpended balance of
the old appropriation.
Messrs. Werrick, Morrow and Dickin
son, who were appointed a sub-committee
on the needs of the Harrisburg Insane Asy
lum, had their functions extended to all in
