J Tlip visit of the American baseball play ers hat now become a matter of history. They played their farewell game on the 6th inst., and are sow homeward bound across the Indian Ocean. The last game in Mel bourne was witnessed by the greatest gath ering that attended any of the games in the Colonies. There were between 10,000 and 12fiO0 people present, but they were not at tracted by the game of baseball alone. In addition to the contest between theChicagos and All-Americas there was a game be tween the former and a picked team of American residents, calling themselves the Melbourne Baseball Club; a cricket ball throwing contest to beat the Australian record, and a football game between the Carleton and Port Melbourne clubs, both prominent organizations. A balloon ascen sion .by "Prof." Bartholomew was also ad vertised, but owing to a strong wind he did not go up, and doubtless cansed a degree of disappointment that tbe other attractions scarce compensated for. The contest be tween the American picked nine and the Chicagos was an old-fashioned muffing game, and the efforts of the amateurs afford ed the natives unbounded amusement. Three innings sufficed to show how thor oughly the professionals could trifle with them and still win by a score of 12 to 0. The football game proved splendid and exciting sport and resulted in three goals for each club after two homes play. The strong impression which the game had al ready made on the American athletes was thoroughly emphasized. During an inter mission which occurred THET KICKED THE BALL AEOTJKD among themselves and their futile efforts to imitate the skill of the regular players gave evidence that the game was not quite so easy as it looked, and required practice and training in order to become efficient. The. enthusiasm of the spectators over it was as demonstrative as that which characterizes a big American gathering ata close and ex citing game of baseball between champion clubs. The ladies, as well as the men, ap pear to be fully up in all the points of the game and apparently laniiliar with the names of every one of the 40 players who compose the two teams. It is a clever and exhilarating game and it is to be hoped that it may become an outdoor sport in America during tbe months when tbe baseballers are resting alter their sea son's work. The game between the Chicagos and All Americas was well played on the part of the former. Baldwin and Daly did the best battery work that they have on tbe trm. Hani on led off with a safe hit for his side in the first inning, j uub uur luKiuofc auomer an was xnaae. iae Interest of tbe spectators seemed to have in creased since the clubs made their first appear ance in Australia, and they were exceedingly discriminating in their applause. Baseball conld certainly be made popular if there was a good team at hand to keep up tbe interest that It has awakened. THE FULL SCOEE. The score of the game was as follows; CHICAGO.

At tbe close of the game the long-throwing contest with a cricket ball took place, and was judged by a selected committee. Crane, Will iamson and Pfeffer were tbe contestants. Each bad three throws. The first named threw 123 yards I0 inches, beating the only authenti cated Australian record of 126 yards 3 inches. Williamson's best throw was considerable less than this, no measurement being taken. '""The departure of the ballplayers was unat tended by any demonstration. The wharf from where the steamer sailed is at Port Melbourne, about four miles from the city, which may pos sibly account for this. A large number of in dividuals, several prominent Americans and Australians among tbem. rode out to tbe pier to bid their visitors goodby. THE PABTY GROWS LESS. The party has diminished considerably in numbers since it first set out from San Fran cisco. Most of the outsiders preferred to re turn homeTjy the Pacific steamers, while others will remain permanently in the Colonies. Among the latter is Harry Simpson, formerly a player In the Newark, N. X. Club. He will be Spalding's representative in Melbourne, and will endeavor to teach tbe natives how to play tbe American national game. Frank Lincoln, be humorist, will remain in the Colonies, ' where he has made a big hit. Tbe people who started on the round trip are A. G. Spalding, Mrs. H. X Spalding, Mi. and Mrs. Leigh S. Lynch and Master Leigh 8., Jr., Mr. and Mrs. A. C Anson, Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Williamson. N. T. Pf eHer, T. & Burns, J. K. Tener, M. E. Baldwin, T. B. Daly, M. Sullivan, R. H. Pettit, J.Tlyan J. M. Ward. Ed Hanlon, E. Crane, J. O. Fogarty. G. A. Wood. John Healv, J. H. Manning. W. M. Earle, F. H. Carroll, Tom Brown, George Wright, W. Irving Snyder. L. Robisou, C Bartholomew and the three news paper correspondents. The steamer on which they sailed is the Sailer, of tbe North German-Lloyd line; some vearsago she piled between Bremen and New York. She is commanded by Captain C.Thalcn horst. The German service on the steamer has stirred up tbe linguistic ambition of the ball players, and tbey have already made heroin efforts to acquire sufficient smattering to place them on a pleasant footing with thetewards and waiters, and to stand them in good need when they reach Berlin and Vienna. Captain von Anson has already advanced suf ficiently to ask for drei of a kind;" Herr iogarty s nattiing maniuuy with "Herren und damen," for use in future forensic efforts, while Count von Heal y is still grapling with the difficulties of "und das wind bias durch seln Bcbnurbart." Jim Byan says "ein waist bock ballen!' with piquant Yankee accent, and Tom Brown roils out -zwcl beer" with the mellifluou ness that distinguishes a genuine Bostonian. If the players apply themselves with equal assiduity to the languages of the other coun tries tbey pass through, the national came will fe boast of polyglot as well as CLEVER CVEVtya AND HARD HITTING ball players. The' trip from Melbourne to Adelaide, where the vessel stopped for tbe last time before sailing for Colombo, has been a most delightful one. Except for a trifling roughness at tbe start the sea has been ex tremely smooth. The Pacific Ocean cxnerience t, of the players seasoned them for this trip, and acy iutb ntBuuercu tousiar on me xnaian uccio, iuiu jyo not lauuicEttiarntoDglQa hysterical exclamations of 'New York" onr thetaSrau. i There is net likely to be an v. cricket nractlcn ioii this trip as the players' experience at Syd ney nas not na .ienaency to encourage the teams among them. Besides this tbe deck of I vessel a sot adapted for the putting up of a practice ground such as was made on the Alameda. As a means of physical exercise a bis shuffling board has been marked out on the deck and big shovels are used for pushing the big round wooden "checks" on to the numbers. Spalding and Wright have constituted them selves into a team and thus far have proven themselves the champions. Hanlon and Heal y are the worst team, not being able to beat a team that can't play at all. The party is again fortunate in beginning their sea voyage during a period of moonlight nights. Nothing that they have yet experienced on their voyage has equaled the beauty of the summer evening they have lived today. Its charm was almost awe inspiring and the passengers seemed to be unable to express themselves be yond murmuring. "What a .perfect night!" The surface of tbe water was almost as smooth ay glass, save where tbe steamer sent nut graceful and gentle billows as it sailed on its course. For an hour after snnset tbe sky along the horizon was bathed in a glory of golden color, such as is peculiar only to tropical climes, and is never seen in the State. As it faded away on the approach of night the half full moon shed a silvery sbeen over the water, and was aided in its illumination by radiant Venus, which cast a broad swath of phosphor escent light, clear and distinct in its outline, from the horizon up to the very side of the ves sel. It might almost be termed two moon lights, each reflection being separate and well defined. The atmosphere was soft and pleasant, and bad almost a velvety smoothness as it touched the f kin. It was just such a night when music adds attractiveness to the scene, and tbe pas sengers obtained it from Mrs. Leigh Lynch, who made tbe clear and sweet notes of a cor net ring out with wondrous melodious and in-, spiring effect on the still night air. Tbe steamer laid out In the bay at Port Adelaide from 11 o'clock at night until 6 in tbe morning, and tben started on her way to Ceylon. 8. UOODFBIEITB. Copyright, 1SS9, by the author. WILL GO TO ENGLAND. Kllrnln Resolves to Do Basinets With Mitchell nnd Smith. New York, March L It seems that the in ducement held out to Jake Kilrain by Charley Mitchell, that a sparring tour in England would pay well now' has had its effect, and Jake has decided to sail for London on the 9th inst. In his notice of this intention to bis backer, he does not say anything about the boxing tour, but that his business across the Atlantic is for the purpose of arranginga meet ing with Jem Smith, and he is equally positive that he will be back in time to train for his fight with Sullivan. All this is very interesting to sporting men, perhaps, but it is somewhat peculiar under the circumstances. Kilraln's backer' has a good deal of money posted on him already, and Jake is taking chances in crossing the ocean and knocking about in a foreign country. Yet it may be all right, as some of his friends have re peatedly given out that he doesn't believe John L. intends or everintended to fight him. Maybe Jake has some secret information on this head, and if he has and it is of a character that makes him all the more positive that Sullivan doesn't mean to give him a battle, his European trip is the correct thing. If he hasn't such in formation it is the wrong thing all tbe way through. Meanwhile Sullivan is in New York and visiting his friends daily. Kilraln's dis patch to Mr. R. K. Fox. advising, him of bis in tended trip, is as follows: "Baltimore. February 28. Please cable Charley Mitchell, care of Pony Moore, London that I sail for England March 9 to arrange a meeting with Jem Smith, and will return in time to train for my fight with Sullivan for the championship." DOWN ON SIIEEDY. O'Connor's Backer Tnlks Abont Snlllvnn's Ex-HInnneer. "Shecdy is trying to riiuj himself in as O'Con nor's backer," said Mr. Joseph Rogers to the Mail yesterday, when be was asked if he had heard anything more regarding O'Connor's much talked of trip to Australia with Pat Sheedy as his manager and backer. "Sheedy may be all right as a manager of prize fight ers," added Mr. Rogers, but what he doesn't know abont rowing would fill a big book. I don't think O'Connor will have anything to do with him. O'Connor's brothers were sorely put out by the statement in the Mail last week tbat Sheedy was to accompany him to Aus tralia. "Sheedy, I believe, was introduced to O'Con nor at the six-days' walk in New York after the Teemer race, and in a conversation with Count' John O'Grady remarked that O'Connor could make a lot of money in Australia by losing his first race. This is the man who is talking of backing him if the approaching race with Gaudaur proves to be a square one. Jack Ryan has just received a letter from O'Connor in which be makes no mention of his intention of going to Australia. In fact, he has heard of Searle's Intention to visit England, and it Is therefore very improbable he will leave next month for Australia, whatever his plans may have been." Toronto Mail. OLD SPORT REPLIED TO. West Mlddletovrn Ball Club Tell Him Where He's Wrong:. Sporting Editor of The Dispatch: .Sir We noticed in the The Despatch of the 26th an article from "Old Sport" denying the fact that we have signed deaf mute Saw hill, and stating, also, that "it is not at all plausible that a player of SawhiU's ability wonld sign with such an inferior organization as West Middletown." We never made tbe as sertion that we have signed Sawhlll, but stated tbat we would make efforts to secure him. The interest taken in the national game here is always at the highest pitch. We only have a few over 500 inhabitants, but from 600 to 1,000 people turn ont to see our cames. We don't know where they all come from, but tbey are there just tbe same. Now Mr. Sawhlll is a fine player and a gentleman, too. but we know we have as good players as be is, and they have bad good offers, too. Mr. Sawhill has played with the West Middletowns several times, and we know whereof we speak. Out of .28 games two seasons ago we were only downed once by a club in the connty, and that was accomplished by tbe W. B. Cains, who, in turn, suffered four straight defeat by us. Last so. son we lost no games in this county. We claim the champion ship, and will again defend that title against all comers next season. West Middletown. THE LEAGUE MEETING. Messrs. Ximlck and Phillips Talk Abont tbe Scfaednle Convention. Messrs. Nimick and Phillips will leave for Washington to-day to attend the League schedule meeting to be held there next week. Speaking of the meeting, yesterday Mr. Nimick said: "I really do not know of a thing to be dis cussed at tbe meeting outside of tbe schedule. Of course there may be other matters to deal with, but I do not know of them. I do not an ticipate any trouble at all between us and the' Association regarding the graded salaryplan. I think the Association will agree at least to tbe general principles laid down by us. A dis agreement as to any minor details will certainly not cause any hitch." Manager Phillips also said tbat be tnew of nothing to be dealt with except the salaries. His great object in going to the meeting is to secure as many "plums" for the local club in the way of dates as possible. Horace bas a little book well stocked with dates, which be hopes .to secure. He refuses to divulge what the dates are, but it is nnderstood tbat if he secures all tbe good things desired Pittsburg will obtain a share of everything. IHk Race at Parkersbnro Pakkkrsbuhg, W. Va, March -L A 50 bour pedestrian contest will begin at the rink In tbts city on the 7th instant. Tbe following well-known pedestrians have entered for tho contest: Thomas Cox, champion of West Vir ginia; George D. Noremac, Philadelphia; Peter Golden, New York; Samuel Day, ex-champion of England; James McGrane, Wheeling; Jo seph Blanham and Charles Hendricks, Par kcrsburg: E. C. McClelland. Pittsburg; Wm. A. Hoagland, Union Springs. N. Y.; Peter Priddy, Pittsburg; Wm. Nolan, Pittsburg; Alf Courts. Cincinnati; J. J. Engledrum, Chicago; Chris Putz, Middletown. Tbe race will begin at 8 o'clock Thursday and close at 11 o'clocic Saturday. A Local Shooting Match. Articles of agreement have been signed by John Downs, of the Glenwood Gun Club, and John Harrison, of Monongahela City, to shoot a match at 15 lire birds for S100 a side. Hurling ham rules to govern, and each to furnish his opponent's birds. The match is to come off at McKeesport, March 8, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock. Tbe Glenwood club will open1 their new range with a blue rock sweep on April 20. Coins to Mount Clemens. Ed Morris and his wife will leave the city for Monnt Clemens on Monday evening. Morris is looking in excellent condition, and during a conversation yesterday afternoon he said: "I feel all right, except a little wearied. I have worked bard all winter and done well. I want to have a rest of eight or ten days and then I'll return and commence daily ball practice. I think Til pitch well this year."' Wants a Wedding Present. Thomas F. Stack, of Troy, N. Y., applied to Manager Swartwood yesterday .for an engage- .safcnt as a catcher on the Hamilton team. Stack wanted $700 for the season. He bad good recommendations, and bas played every posi tion on a team except pitcher. He wanted a contract at a wedding present. Manager Swartwood, however, was not disposed to for. ward the present. WILL HAVE TEN CLUBS. The Allegheny County Lensrae Decides to In crease Its Number. The troubles of tbe Allegheny County Base ball League seem to be almost at an end. At any rate this is tbe case as far as tbenumberof clubs to compose it is concerned. At a meeting held in Mr. Cox's office on Grant street last evening, it was resolved to have ten clubs in the league. This is in accordance with the statement made In this paper during the last few days. The league season will, there fore, as stated yesterday, commence on April 13 and finish on October 10, and the schedule will consist ot S8 games. The meeting was a very animated one. Presi dent J. W. Clark occupying the cbalr. Tbe ten ' clubs -were represented as follows: Home stead, J. B. Jones and W. P. Schooler; East End Athletics, A. H. Edwards and W. J. Barr; Braddock, Thomas Orten and 8. M. Cooper; Duquesnes, W. J. Sweeny and J. J. Sweeny; McKeesport, F. M. Torreyson; Etna Stars, Frank Plunkett and Will Tibbs: Riverside Greys, J. N. Reed and C. G. Kcenan; Ems worth. J. W. Clark and W. R. Sledle: Oakland. A. W. Rhinehart and George Hardy; Sewick ley, W. W. Whitesel and John E. Porter. The great and almost only question for dis cussion' was whether the league should be made up of eight or ten clubs. Braddock was represented, and declared its intention of con tinuing in the league, and this made no tbe eight clubs. However, Oakland and Sewlck ley each presented excellent reasons why they should be also admitted. The representatives of tbe two last named clubs were, therefore, asked to retire until the question of increasing the number of clubs to ten was discussed and voted on. After a long and warm discussion a vote resulted in 9 for 10 clubs and 7 for 8. Mr. Torreyson, of McKeesport, was allowed two votes, and be voted for the ten-club scheme. Before voting it was agreed that if tbeten-club scheme carried a 3S-game schedule would be adopted. Oakland and Sewickley were consequently admitted. Undoubtedly the meeting came to the most beneficial conclusion possible under tbe cir cumstances. The increased number of clubs will spread the interest in the league over a wider area than It has ever been, and certalBly wiil make the organization thoroughly repre setative of tbe county. The following gentlemen were appointed a Committee on Rules: Messrs. Schooley, W. J. Barr, D. McCarthy. F. M. Torreyson, W. R. Siedle, W. Tibbs, J. R. Reed, J. Porter. W. W. Rhinehart. The committee will convene at the call of the Secretary. Other business of a routine kind was transacted. A Lively Wrestling Bout. Erik, March L Chris Shaw, of Erie, de feated Jack Marsden, of England, in a wrest ling match here to-night. The terms were Lancashire rules, best three in five falls, two points down, for $100 and the receipts. Marsden threw Shaw tbe first fall in two -minutes, but tbe Erie lad won the next three in a total of nine minutes, wrestling time. Marsden is a protege of Tom Connors. The Prizes Too Small. E. C. McClelland, the pedestrian of this city, received an offer yesterday from Worcester, Mass., to take part in a 10-mile race at that place next month. Prizes aggregating 123 are offered. McClelland, however, deems the amount too small to travel so far for. He is disposed to enter the race if his train fare is paid. OflTto Florida. New Yore, March L Under the leadership of Harry Wright, 13 members of the Philadel phia baseball team sailed for Jacksonville. Fla., on tbe steamer San Antonio. They will make a tour of the South. Sporting; Notes. BnuiiNaHAH, Ala., will have a club in the Southern League this year. There seems to be doubt as to Springfield entering the Tri-State League. The club is selling little stock and meeting with tardy favor. TenEtce: bas sent a challenge to Charles Long, of San Francisco, to row a race of three .miles near San Francisco in March or April for 300 a side. Hughet Burns, the ex-pugilist, who had a quarrel with Mitchell at Cleveland, is in the city. He states tbat Mitchell acted cowardlr in Cleveland. The backers of Tommy Hogan, of this city, expected Shea's backers in tbe city last even ing to make a match. The Wheeling party, however, did not appear. The Chicago Timet thinks that Manager Phillips' opinion that the Chicago players will, be in poor condition when the championship season opens is a wrong one. Jake Schaefer is playing great billiards now at the champions' game. Two oi three nights ago he made a run of 397,averagingl00in a game of 400. Last night he played with an amateur named Reid,and ran the 400 points out in three innings with runs of 118. 123, 139, an average of 133.

SEBASTIAN DELP SDED. He Is Charged Wltb Renting a Honso for Immoral Purposes; Sebastian Selp was arrested yesterday afternoon on an information made by In spector McAleese before Magistrate Jfc Kenua, charging him with renting a house for immoral purposes. The house in ques tion is the Eureka Hotel, located onSecatnr street, near tbe Diamond. It contains 52 rooms, which are occupied by several families, women and men. Mr. Delp waived a hearing, and furnished $1,000 bail for trial at court. Inspector McAleese, in speaking of the matter last night, said: "We nave been aware of the character of this house for some time and some very dis orderly scenes have occurred there, but we did not proceed against it until we found who was responsible'. Chief Brown, as soon as be learned that Delp was the lessee of the building, wanted him to have it vacated by all disreputable characters. This was nearly two weeks ago. A few days ago we notified tbe inmates of the house to net out, but as both warnings were disregarded we have entered suit against Delp. The charge is a dnplicate ot that made against Mus grave nearly a year ago. Delp yesterday entered suit against seven of the inmates before Magistrate (Sripp, charging them with keeping a disorderly house. They were arrested and gave $500 bail each, for a hearing." The Inspector claims that this was a ruse on Delp's part to make an appearance ot complying with Chief Brown's order. One of the occupants of the hours is Mrs. Die trich, the woman who was shot by her hus band several months ago.

Fire Fiends Burn Barns at Altoona and Slake Thrcnls of Worse to Come A Glass Company's Trouble Tho Prohibition Canvass. rSriCIAL TELIOBAJISTO Till DISPATCH. Altoona, Mareh 1. This town has been visited lately by many incendiary fires, bnt so far the culprits have escaped detection, it has become very popular of late for the firebugs to write letters to business men and inform them tbat their place of business would be the next to burn. This letter writing has been going on. for sometime. F. P. Malloy, Chief Engineerof the firedepart ment, has received several letters and the last one was placed nnder his front door on Sunday night last. A stable was burned last week owned by tbe chief, and In the last letter they boldly announce tbat "tbey are not through with him yet," and further that ,"we are going to clean you out. We are paid'for the work, and it must be done. Your neighbors must also suffer." In keeping with their warnings the incendi aries were at it again last night. An attempt was made to fire tbe Btables of John Daiton, coal dealer, and Isaac Hughes, grocer, but they were chased off before the torch was applied. Several detectives have been in the city lately, but as yet tbe firebugs have evaded the offi- PROHIBITION IN ERIE. Captain Dravo is Busy Stirring; Up the Cold Water Element. Erie, March L Erie county Prohibitionists met in Ribley's Hall in this city to-day, and organized for tbe amendment canvass. All the election districts were represented except two or three of tho most remote. About 230 per sons took part in the proceedings of the con vention. Tbere was a large attendance of women, but they decided not to participate in the work of tbe convention for fear of arousing tbe hostility of certain elements among tbe men. George Reed, of Mill Creek, was elected President; Dyer Loomis, of North East, Vico President; Dr. J. N. Taylor, of Eden burg. Sec retary, and Charles A. Galther, of Erie, Trea surer. Resolutions were adopted calling for the or ganization of a Constitutional Amendment patty, apart from and outside the old Prohibi tion party, and also asking for subscriptions of moneyfor expenses of tbe canvass. Captain JohnF. Dravo, Representative from Beaver county, was tho ruling spirit of tbe occasion. He made a characteristic 3peech in the after noon at the convention and spoke again in the evening to a public meeting. The County Com mittee, organized to-day, will meet here again on the Stli, when the campaign in Erie will be fairly begun. It is doubtful if the prohibition sentiment is as strong here as it was about tbe time 'the amendment election day was fixed. Erie county grows much barley and has many ex tensive vineyards. Naturally these two inter ests clash with the prohibition idea. MUST HAVE NATURAL GAS. A Wheeling Glass Company Cnnnot Com- pelo With tbe Boom Towns. Wheeling, March L It was reported to day that President Scott, of the Central Glass Company, had stated tbat tbe company in tended removing their plant to some Ohio or Indiana gas town. The change, it was said, would result in a saving of $30,000 per year. The statement, however, was pronounced pre mature by members of the Board of Directors. At tbe same time they acknowledged that the past year had been an extremely unsatisfactory one, and something calculated to afford relief must be done. The new factories In the Ohio and Indiana boom towns had cut prices to pieies, and with the heavy expenses entailed upon Wheeling manufacturers, it was simply impossible to compete in an open market. The Central has a capital of $257,000 in shares of 51,275 each and employs 600 men. ONE ARREST MADE. Threats of Lynching a Prisoner Thought to be Umberger's Mnrderer. Ligoniek, March L Collins 'Hamilton, a young man-about 2S years of age, was arrested in the mountains four miles east of here at 3 o'clock this morning, on suspicion of being concerned in tbe killing of Herman Umberger, the aged farmer who was brutally murdered and robbed on Wednesday night near Jenners town. Hamilton lived with his two aunts at the tollgate on the pike, and the murderers were traced through the snow in the direction of his house. He was in bed at the time, and offered no resistance when arrested. The officers found two revolvers under his pillow, and also secured a brown derby hat and a set of false whiskers corresponding with those described by old Mrs. Umberger. Tbe excitement over the brutal affair has not abated, and threats of lynching are freely ex pressed. Parties are still scouring the. sur rounding country, and other arrests are ex pected soon. NO THIRD PARTY WANTED. Temperance People Arrange Their Plans for (he Amendment Cnmpnlgn. HnNmroDON, March L The county cam paign methods to be employed in aid of tbe Constitution prohibition amendment were de termined upon at to-day's convention here, and emDrace some very Vigorous features, includ ing a careful registration of all voters, circuit meetings in churches and school houses, parlor meetings, general distribntion of temperance literature, and a personal supervision of the polling places. An attempt to spring the third party senti ment on the convention was frowned upon. Tbe pending legislative bill protecting women and children employed in the mines and fac tories was urgently indorsed. NO TOLL IN THEIRS. Bnckeye Fnrmers'Entcr a Very Decided Ob jection In the. Matter. ZANESVH.LE, March L Early this morning a new toll house on the National pike, about one and a half miles west of the city, was burned to the ground. It was built for tho purpose of catching a number of dairymen and others who had not been paying toll, and was to have been occupied to-day. The fire is sup posed to have been incendiary. Was a Resident of Allegheny ? ' Rochester. March L A body was found in the Ohio river at Bellowsrille, a short distance below here, to-day. It was tbat of a young man aged about 20 years, sandy complexion, height 5 feet 5 inches, weight about 125 pounds. He was dressed in a dark overcoat, dark sack suit, white shirt, red flannel underwear. In the pocket was found a hunting case silver watch, a promissory note, dated Allegheny. April 1, 18S7, for 82 60, payable to William Mat thews, and signed by D. B. Aitenwert. There were also two tlntvpes, one of himself and ono of an old lady. The body is at Atkins' under taking rooms, Beaver, for identification. Looking for a New Gusher.

ALLEGHENY SALESMEN TO ORGANIZE The Coal Exchange, composed of all the operators in the Monongahela "Valley, held an important meeting yesterday afternoon. The committee appointed at the last meet ing to secure signers to a petition for the formation of a pool, reported that they had not succeeded in getting all the operators to agree to the plan. In fact not more than a half a dozen of. the leading miners and shippers of coal had agreed to enter the combination proposed. A discussion was had on the necessity of an organization as proposed. It was stated that the river coal trade is being mined in the Southern ports by Tennessee and Kentucky coal. One man stated that convicts were now mining coal at Jellico, Ky., which is being put on the market at 4J4 cents a bushel, which is 33 per cent less than Pittsburg operators can sell their coal at the down river ports, To prove that the convict mined coal was supplanting Pittsburg coal, a member of the Exchange said that last Januarv only seven barges of Pittsburg coal were sod;in Louisville, and in January, 1888, they sold 60 barges. The Pool Committee was instructed to lay this matter before all the miners and ship pers of coal, and induce them to sign the agreement if possible. Captain Simpson Horner, one of the first to sign, said he did not anticipate any trouble in getting all to sign, and is surprised at the refusal of some large operators to go into the combination. A VERY IMPORTANT BILL has been introduced in the Legislature which, if passed, will seriously affect the Monongahela Valley coal operators. It must have been introduced very quietly, for it bas passed second reading and nothing was known about it here until yesterday, when Mr. John M. Bisher produced a copy ot it. When the bill was read it created quite a sensation, and every member of the Exchange made an emphatic protest. The bill was presented by Mr. Gallagher and the title refers to miners in the anthra cite region. In the body of the bill, how ever, it includes the miners in the bitumin ous region. It provides for the appointment, or election, of a board of examiners in each coal district whose duty it shall be to issue certificates to miners. No man will be al lowed'to work in a mine unless he has a cer tificate and in order to obtain one he must pass an examination, and no person will be granted a certificate unless he has worked in and around a mine for a period, of two years. If this bill is passed all the miners who have been working for two years will have a monopoly and no'new men can learn tne business. When the bill was read Captain Horner remarked tbat it was like the mo'ther who forbade her son to' go to the river until he had learned to swim. After a discussion on the matter a com mittee, composed of Messrs. John M. Bisher, C. h. Snowden and S. H. Pearsol, was appointed to make a protest against the passage of the bill. The members of the Coal Exchange believe the bill will be un constitutional if it does pass, as the title does not indicate what is contained in the bill. A VERY SERIOUS CLAIM. It is claimed that the bill was framed by the Knights of Labor, and the object is to prevent any person bnt Knights from en gaging in the coal mining business. Another important matter that came be fore thV meeting yesterday was the subject of the tolls charged by the Monongahela Navigation Company. As stated in this paper two weeks ago, a committee was ap pointed to visit the company and secure a reduction of tolls, the' argument used being that Pittsburg operators " are losing their Southern trade because they cannot com pete with convict labor. The company received the committee and heard their arguments for a reduction of tolls, but reserved the decision until yester day, when it was read. No changes were made in the charges for lump coal, nut coal or slack, but a change was. made in the charges for what is called dust. Heretofore dust was passed through the locks at a nom inal figure, but the price was made the same as nut coal and slack. This decision was a big surprise to the members, andwhen one of tbem recovered he proposed ironically that another com mittee be appointed and they might secure a ''further reduction."(?) The lockage at present amounts to X cent a bushel, the price of mining 3 cents a bushel, and Kentucky and Tennessee coal is being sold at 3 ,cents. If the Monongahela Valley coal could be shipped for nothing tne operators couia not anoru to sell at such a low figure. At the close of the meeting an operator stated that unless something was -done to reduce the tolls and prevent convicts from mining coal all the men engaged. in the business in the Monongahela Valley would have to quit. THE KNIGHTS IN DANGER. Execntive Boarder John Contclio'to Go to Illinois In tbo Interest of the K. ofL. John Costcllo, the Pittsburg member of General Executive Board of the Knights of Labor, arrived in the city yesterday. He will remain here a couple of days and then go to Illinois where he will stump the State in the interest of N. D. A. 135, composed of coal miners. The new miners' organization, the National Prnffrwclwar Union has made 'great inroads on, the Knights of Labor during the past few weeks, and Mr. Costello will endeavor to prevent the Knights from leaving the order. He does not believe that the new union will hart the K. of L. to any great extent, and says the order is booming all over the country, the only trouble being with the coal miners. He believes a better feeling is existing between rival labor organiza tions. i . Tho Exposition Building Strike. The trouble at the Exposition building has been settled, and the carpenters will re sume operations in a few days. It will be remembered the carpenters, who are mem bers of the Knights of Labor, struck be cause sash and door frames made by a non union firm were being used In the building, A committee from D. A. 3 visited President Marvin yesterday, and one of them stated that everything had been settled, but de clined to give the terms of the settlement. Labor Notes. The new blast furnace at Rankin 'station is almost completed and will be blown in in about three weeks. The rail mill of the Dnquesne Steel Com pany will. be put n operation on April I, giving employment to about 00 men. The strike at the PhilH'psburg flint 'glass works is still on. but the fires bare not been pnt out. Tbe firm expect to make a satisfac tory arrangement with the men within tbe next few days. Work was resnmed, at tbo Republic Iron Works yesterday morning. As stated In this paper the action of tbe men in returning to work after a strike had been sanctioned by the Executive Committee is unprecedented. President Campbell, of the Window Glass Workers' Association, believes his chances are good for the appointment to the. position of commissioner of Labor. William Martin, of the Amalgamated Association, is also an applicant and is confident that he will receive the 'appointment. The Citizens' Traction Employes' Make, a Proposition to the Company. The employes of the Citizens' Traction Company met yesterday morning and were in session until about 5 o'clock. The men are dissatisfied with the methods.of working and want a change. Master "Workman Bos, of D. A. 3, K. of Ii., was present at the mee'ting and assisted in framing a pro position to be presented to the company. At present the gripmen and conductors work 11 hours per day. The former receive 52 25 and the latter 52 per day. The cars are run 18 hours, and when the regular force' quits work the cars are take in charge by what are called "swing" men. They finish the day and are paid by the trip. A gripman gets 22J cents a trip, and a con ductor 18 cents Of course a swing man cannot make as much money as a regular man, and it is proposed to provide for all the employes. The proposition drawn up fixes the hours of work and the pay for the men. The em ployes are divided into two sets who will bo required to work nine hours each and the pay is made uniform at 2 per day. A com mittee was appointed to present the propo sition to the company, but this will not be done for several days, as Superintendent Murray Verner is confined to his bed by sickness. Master Workman Boss said he believed the matter would be satisfactorily settled and no strike will'occur. THE RANKEST KIND OP FfiACD. La Abra Mining Company Gets a Bad Dose In (be Senate. "Washington, March 1. The report of the Senate Committee on Foreign Belations upon the bill to secure a retrial of the claims by the La Abra Mining Company against the Mexican Government (an award having previously been made by the Mexican Mixed Claims Commission of $672,000) was made to the Seuale to-day by Senator Dolph. The report says: In the opinion of the committee tbe evidence Is sufficient to show tho whole claim of tbe company to be fraudulent, and the claimant's testimony before the mixed commission, so far as it tended to fix the responsibility for the company's loss upon tne Mexican uovernmenr, to have been rank perjury. Tbe idea of mak ing a claim against the Mexican Government appears to have been a gross fraud in its Incep tion; to have been based upon fraudulent al legations, supported by false swearing and manufactnred testimony: and it is impossible, in the face of the correspondence covering the period when the company was making prepara tions to work Its mines in Mexico, and while tbey were being worked, to conceive tbat the officers and agents of the company in New York were not active participants in the fraud. The committee are of the opinion that Con gress has power to do what is proposed to bo done by tbe bill under consideration, and recommends its passage, with amendments. Senator Brown will probably make a mi nority report, as it is nnderstood he is op posed to the bill. LOCAL ITEMS, LIMITED. , Incidents of a Day in Two Cities Condensed for Ready Reading. Rev.

CAMPBELL & DICK . y ptfflj This picture shows two laundresses, one at work the other not able to, because her hands are cracked and sore she has been using soap containing -too much alkali. Reati Prof. Leeds's report v t Gentlemen : The sample of " Ivory ,l Soap which you sent to me for analysis has been received, and you will find analysis herewith. As a result, the "Ivory" Soap while strongly cleaiising, leaves the skin soft and pleasant to the touch instead of harsh, uncomfortable, and liable to chap, as results from the use of many common laundry soaps, in which the ratjo of uncombined to combined alkali is.large. The percentage of uncombined fat in the "Ivory" is very small, hence the lather is clean, white and abundant, with entire absence ' of oil or grease. There are no injurious substances. The above considerations show the "Ivory" to be a pure soap ," and excellent for laundry use. Very Respectfully Yours, . -'. Laboratory of Chemistry, ALBERT R.
