The national baseball magnates hare issued their address to the public regarding the conduct of the players. It is an able and forcible appeal. Application will at once be made for a charter for a local Brother hood club. There was a desperate prize fight broken up and the principals arrested. Philadelphia, November21. The com mittee which was appointed at the recent annual meeting of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs to prepare an address to the public defining the position of that organization in the present baseball controversy, completed its labors to-day. The committee consisted of Messrs. A. G. Spalding, of Chicago; John B. Day, of New York, and John I. Eodgers, of Philadel phia. The text of the address follows: A CHEAT ADDRESS. To the Tubtlc: The National League of Professional Base ball Clubs has no apology to make for Its ex istence or for its untarnished record of 11 years. It stands to-day, as it stood during that period, sponser for the honesty and integrity of professional baseball. It is to this organization that the slayer of to-day owes the dimity of his profession and tho munificent salary he is guaranteed while playing in its ranks. The good name of this League has been as sailed, its motives impugned and its integrity questioned by some of the very men whom it has most benefited. The League therefore asks the public to in spect its record and compare the following statement of facts with the selfish and mali cious accusations of its assailants. The Na tional League was OBGAKIZED IN 1876 u a necessity, to rescue the game from its slough of corruption and disgrace, and take it from the hands of the ball players who had controlled and dominated the National Asso ciation of Professional Ball Players. No effort was made by the old association to control its members, and the result was that contract breaking, dissipation and dishonesty had undermined the came to such an extent that it seemed an almost hopeless task to at tempt its rescue. The League, upon its organization, abolished pool selling, open betting on the crounds, pro hibited Sunday games and excluded the sale of liquors. A better class of people were invited to attend the exhibitions and a moro svstematio way of conducting the game was introducod. But the OLD CUSTOMS AKD ABUSES were not to be crowded out without a struggle. At the end of the season of 1876, two of the strongest clubs, the Mutuals, of New York, and Athletics, of Philadelphia, were arraigned before the League for violating their schedule engagements. This was the first crisis the Leagne was called upon to meet and the world knows how promptly and vigorously It faced the issue by expelling those two prominent clubs, representing, as they did, its most popu lous and best paving cities. The following sea son (1877) was a disastrous one financially, and ended with but five clubs in the League, in one of which (Louisville) were players publicly ac cused of dlshoncBty. The League promptly investigated these charges and when the four players of the club, Devlin, Hall. Craves and Nichols, were proven guilty of selling games, they were promptly ex- peuea anu nave never oeen reinstated. A BOLD STAND. These two steps, boldly taken, when the League was struggling for existence, settled tho question as to a club's obligations to the League and forever banished dishonesty from its ranks, stigmatizing the latter as an unpar donable crime. The struggle for existence for the next three or four years was desperate, ana at each an nual meeting there occurred vacancies difficult to fill because of the almost certain financial disasters threatening clubs in the smaller cities, Finally, as a check on competition, weaker clubs in the League demanded the privilege of reserving five players, who would form the nucleus of a team for the ensuing season. This was the origin of the "reserve rule," and from Its adoption may be dated the development of better financial results. The system of reserve having proven beneficial both to clubs and players, the reserve list was increased to 11 and then to 11 or an entire team. A BENEFICIAL EULE. Under .this rule the game has steadily grown In favor, the salaries of players have more than trebled and a higher degree of skill been attained. Ont of, and as an incident to "res ervation" arose releases for pecuniary consid erations. The right of reservation being con ceded, the club's claim on the player's continu ous services must be of some value. But ex cept in cases of disbanding or retiring clubs, that right has never been transferred without the player's co-operation and consent, usually at his request and for his own pecuniary emol ument. In the exceptional case of the disbandment or retirement of a League club the involuntary transfer of a player to a new club was the sub ject of complaint, by a committee of the Brotherhood in November, 1SS7. Butafter sev eral hours' conference with the League com mittee the former were obliged to admit that such involuntary transler was absolutely es sential to the welfare, if not the existence, of the League and, while it might work' apparent hardship to one or two Individuals, its abolition would imperil the continuance of full club membership and the employment of perhaps 80 fellow players. THE BEOTHEEHOOD COMMITTEE, therefore, wrote into the contract they bad formulated, that 15th paragraph, by which each sicning player expressly concedes such involuntary transfer of the right of reserva tion to his services from his club if it should disband or lose its League membership to "Any other club or association," provided his current salary be not reduced. And the neces sity for sorao such power of preserving the cir cuit of a League, by approximately equalizing its playing strength, is recognized by the new league, which the seceding players have tem porarily organized; for, they give this "extraor dinary power" of transferring players, with or without consent and with or without club dis bandment, to a central tribunal of 16 directors, whose fiat is final. In view of these facts and concessions the nse of such terms as "bondage," "slavery," sold like sheep," etc., become mean ingless and absurd. At the annual meeting of the League in November, 1SS7, the Brotherhood asked and received rec ognition upon the statement of its representatives that it was organized for benevolent purposes and desired to go hand in band with the League, in perpetuating the game, increasing benefits, popularity, and ele vating the moral standard of its players. They disavowed any intention or desire to interfere with the business affairs of the Leagne, the sal aries of players, or tho "Beserve rule," simply asking that the contract be so revised, that it, in itself, would indicate every relation be tween, the club and each individual player. THIS "BUOTHEKHOOD COJTTKACT," when accepted and adopted, has never been violated by the League, cither in letter or spirit, and we challenge proof m contradiction of this declaration. .To correct a misapprehen sion in the public mind, as to the alleged "enor mous profits" divided among stockholders of League clubs, it may be interesting to know that during the lust five and only prosperous years there have been paid in cash dividends to stockholders in tho night Leagne clubs less than $150,000, ana during the same time League players have received In salaries over $1,500, WO. The balance of the profits of the few success ful clubs, together with the original capi tal and subsequent assessments of stock holders, is represented entirely in grounds and improvements for the permanent good of the game, costing about 600,000 The refusal of the Brotherhood coramitteo to meet the League In conference at the close of the season, proves incontestibly that the im perative demand for a conference in mid summer, to redress grievances that have never yet materialized, was a mere pretext for seces sion. HATCHED A CONSPIRACY. They know there was no urgency for the con sideration of their claims, and knowing that the Leagne conld not, without sacrifice of time, money and other conflicting interests, convene its clubs in midsummer, and anticipating and desiring a refusal to cover tho conspiracy which It now appears, was then hatching, they started the organization of a rival association, while receiving most liberal salaries from their employers. Under false prom ises to their ' brother players, that they would only secede in the event of the League refusing them i nstlce, they secured the signature of tho latter to a secret pledge or oath to desert their clubs at thebidding of their disaffected leaders. Upon the publication of their plot; September 7, 1ES9. they and their abettors denied, day after day, that there was any foundation for the story, and repeatedly plighted their words that tho Leagne should have a chance to redress their alleged griev ances before they would order a "strike." Blow false their promises and pledges, how evasive, contradictory and mendacious have been their every act and deed, from first to last, we leave to the readers of the daily and weekly press for verification. An edifice BUILT ON FALSEHOOD has no moral f onndation and must perish of its own weight. Its official claims to public sup port are glittering generalities that lack detail, color and truth, and the National League, while notifying its recalcitrant players, that it will aid its clnbs. in the enforcement of their contractual rights to the services of those plavers, for the stason of 1890, hereby proclaims to the public that the national game which, in 1876, it rescued from destruction, threatened by the dishonesty and dissipation of players and which, by stringent rules and ironclad con tracts it developed, elevated and perpetuated into the most glorious and honorable sport on the green earth, will still. Under its auspices, progress onward and upward, despite the ef forts of certain overpaid players to again con--trol it for their own aggrandizement, but to its ultimate dishonor and disintegration. By order of the National League of Profes sional Baseball Clubs. A. Q. Spaminq, John B. Day, John L Rodgers, Committee. Philadelphia. November 21, 1SS9, SPALDING'S TALK. The I.encne Magnate Passes Through and Scores the Flayers He Thinks Tener Ii All Blent The Legal Phases Argued. A. G. Spalding, one of the most prominent of the League magnates, passed through the city last evening en route from Philadelphia to Chicago. As usual, Mr. Spalding was extremely frank and brimf nl of some very sensible opin ions on baseball matters. During a conversation he expressed a strong hope that the League's address will have great force with the intelligent public, and he also stated that, the old League would still remain in the van. "How many old players have contracted with League clubs for next year?" was asked. "Why, all of them. That surprises you. Be fore the commencement of last season a Brotherhood contract giving each club an option in their services for 1890. was signed by all, and as all the League clubs have notified their players ot their intention to avail them selves of this option, makes it, in my opinion, a much stronger contract than any tba.t the plavers have yet executed. "It therefore follows that the signing of the alleged new League contracts amounts to nothing at alL I feel that we are in the posi tion of a man who holds a judgment note against another, who might try to evade its payment by giving subsequent note"." "Would the public support you in attempt ing to compel a man to play in a club against his wishes?" "I might answer that oy asking, would the public support a player in breaking his con tract with bis club, for that is the exact posi tion our old players are in. who are now having so much fun in naming their own sal aries and signing contracts with the new en thusiastic capitalists of the Flayers' Leagne. I hope the boys are not forgetting their past education by neglecting to ask for the usual advance." "Evidently you expect your old men to play with the Chicago League club next season?" "Certainly I do, and have no doubt they will all come round in due time and ask the privilege." "In t'ae event of their not doing so, and the court failing to hold their League contracts valid, what will be the probable course of the Chicago clnb?" "Fill their places with new men and go on without them, just as we would probably do if they should all die." "If the Brotherhood makes a failure in mid season what will be done with the agitators?" "Don't think we will have to wait that long, but there will be plenty of time to decide on the reconstruction policy after the rebellion is over. The Brotherhood seems to be signing more players now than the League clubs. What does that imply? It implies, if it implies anything, that the leaders deem it necessary in order to keep thiseUiflce from tot tering to pieces to bolster up their men and keep them in line by having them sign a new form of contract every month or two. First they bound each player to a solemn oath that he would do the bidding of the Brotherhood leaders, then each player signed a so-called contract, agreeing to stick to the Brotherhood on the promise that they would receive the same salary.they did this past year,with the glittering possibilities of having one-half of the profits of all the clubs divided equally among the players. They held a meeting in New York and revamped their financial plans. This change necessitated a third contract, which some of the boys are now signing. I understand these present contracts are made between players and individuals, and still another contract will probably be necesarybeforo all hands will feel secure in their contractal relations" Mr. Spalding went on to sa that he does not believe John Tener has signed a Brotherhood clnb contraCt, believing that Tener has too much business sens. Mr. Spalding also em phatically denied that the recent legislation of the League was influenced by the players' out break. He also said that sbonld the players' conspiracy succeed the status of the came will be injured. He also asked why Brotherhood matters were dragging so much in Pittsburg, and was anxious to Know the capitalists behind the scheme here, and wondered why they are any better fitted for baseball business than the League. BROTHERHOOD 'GOSSIP. A Local Charter to be Applied for nt Once. John M. Ward stated last evening that a charter for the new club here will be applied for at once under the Limited Liability, or Partnership law. This'will enable the Brother hood club to be chartered and fully organized within a few days. Ward continued to say strong things about Glasscock. Al Johnson arrived in the city from Cleve land, and he, Ward and Hanlon had a long conference regarding the Brotherhood pros pects. Johnson, during a conversation, stated that both McKean and Glasscock were base traitors. The former. Johnson says, will not be allowed to play -anywhere except with the Flayers' clnb at Cleveland. Miller states that be is to get $800' advance money and Galvin is to receive $GO0. Hanlon intends to leave the city as soon as possible to sign all the old players he can. Yesterday he wired Beckley and also forwarded him a Broth erhood contract. Ward left the city last evening for Cincinnati to have a conference with Buck Ewing. The Brooklyn Clnb Incorporated.

A LIVELY BATTLE. Two Lightweights Arrested After Fighting Fifty-Four Rounds. Chicago, November 21. One of the greatest lightweight prize fights that have ever occurred in the West took place this morning at Ham mond, Ind. The participants were Tommy Morgan and Tom White. The firsthas a record in the ring, while tho latter never appeared in public before. White, until he began to train i for to-day's figbt was employed as blackboard man in the stock brokerage office of ex-Congressman Dunham. He is very slight in build, and very few outside of the "sports" around the Board of Trade knew or suspected that he was "handy "with his fists." White fought at 118 pounds and Morgan at 12S. The fighting begau, and a prettier or moro scientific battle has never been witnessed in America. White outfought his man from the start, and proved himself a second Jack Demp sey. He was badly advised, however, and should have won in 20 rounds, out, owing to his waiting tactics, the fight was prolonged to over three hours, Morgan being terribly punished. During the progress of the forty-ninth round an alarm of police was sounded, and a general stampede occurred. This was repeated in the fiftieth round, and tho belief was general that the Morgan party were trying to save their money by breakinc up the fight. While the fifty-fourth round was in progress a posse of officers from Kensington appeared upon the scene and arrested both the principals, thus putting an end to the battle. Morgan was terri bly punished about the face and neck. White only receiving a few scratches. The latter is one of the most promising lightweights that has been seen in years, and this, his first fight, win make bis reputation. BOW PLAYERS VIEW IT. Pfcler and Other Say a Few Words About the Address. Chicago, November 2L Immediately upon the receipt of the telegram addressed "To the Public" of the League baseball managers to night, the Associated Press secured an inter view with a number of the old reliable Leagne ball players now in the city, and who are Brotherhood men. They all spoke in about the same vein. Fred Pfeffer, for example, after smilingly reading the "Address," said: "Well, I must say, those self-glorified magnates throw bouquets at themselves in great style.. But they tell too much. They say they have rescued the game from an awful slough and in the same breath acknowledge they have dona it with the very mon who are now starting in for themselves. The only question," continued Mr. Pfeffer, "is one that can only be ansrwered by the public, and that is whether the Brother hood men are not as capable as ever of con-. tinning in the good work these people ac knowledge they have done to elevate the came. "What have I to say about the financial question? Just this. If thepoor Leagne man agers are making such puny profits, why are the gentlemen making such desperate efforts to continue at the game? To the ordinary bus iness mind It would seem they would be glad to abandon such an enterprise. Are we to believe that they are erecting this beautiful edifice for the public benefit and their health? Bosh! It is. a well-known fact that the club of which the committeeman signing this address is Presi dent has paid in the last five years 100 per cent In dividends 20 per cent a year for five years on the capital invested. In addition tha club now has a sinking fund of over f 105,000 safely invested. "They say tho rumors as to the players plans were repeatedly denied. I wish to say that is true, and to add that the man Who did ic is the very man whom the League managers are now using as a tool to rebuild their 'grand moral edifice.' It would be justas well forthe gentle men signing that address to say nothing about moral effects, etc None of the Brotherhood, players that I know of have ever been con nected with a 'Freight Bureau scheme.' The League committee seem also to nave entirely forgotten that after the glorious start of 1876, just two years later, Mr. Spalding himself de serted the Boston clnb. In which ho was a player, to come to Chicago, and for no other reason than to better himself. You can 'just say as a wlndnp that the gentlemen trader wnose auspices really the progress onward and upward of the national game has taken place will continue the ascension in 1890." Other players were shown the address, and indorsed the opinions of Pfeffer. SEVENTEEN PLAYERS SIGNED. Lots of Youngsters for the Plttiiburg Leagne Clnb. "We have 17 men engaged for the Pittsburg club for next season," said Harry Smith yester day afternoon. "Of that number six, are pitchers, two of them being left-handed. To day I have made arrangements to talte Shible, of Youngstown, and Stencil on trial. The former is a promlsinglef t-banded pitcher. We will have a good team, and some of the old players will be with us." Hallor, lately of the Wheeling clulb, signed with the Philadelphia League club yesterday; at least he accepted the terms offered, by Man ager Harry Wright. It is understood that the local club will make no more efforts for new players until the next League meeting is held. President Nimick stated yesterday that when the Brotherhood falls baseball will easily be carried on without any of those connected with the conspiracy. Beckley In Line. Jake Beckley, the big first baseman states that he is in line with the Brotherhood. Yes terday afternoon he wired Ed Hanlon as fol lows: "Still in line, and will never weaken." This would seem to conflict with Glasscock's statement regarding Beckley. Ed Andrews passed through the city last evening am bis way East, He had nothing of importance to tell. Hanlon will go to Philadelphia this-even-ing to sign Dunlap, Conway and Maul. Local Opinions. Ed Hanlon, when asked about the address,! thonght it was very misleading and in some narts absurd He denies that no more than $130,000 have been cleared by the League clubs in five years. Ed Andrews. Al Johnson, Gal- vin and Miller all expressed themselves to the r effect mat the address is very aeiective. Fnrrcll Has Signed. Marlboro, Mass., November 2L Charles Farrell, of this town, 'catcher of the Chicago League team the past season, has signed to E lay in the Players' National League team of hicago. JDST $80,000 OCT. A Philanthropist Becomes the Victim of a Wily Member or the Y. SI. C. A. He Is Forced to Mnke an Assignment. San Francisco, November 21. Charles Montgomery, the owner ot the American Exchange Hotel o this city, who is well known on account of the charitable work which he has been engaged in, has made a statement showing that he has been the vic tim of a confidence operator who has suc ceeded in swindling him out of about $80,000 and forcing him to make an assignment. Over two years ago he met a young can giving the name of . Giencross Grant, who had identified himself with the Young ilen's Christian Association here. Montgomery took an interest in him and finally formed a partnership with him in the agricultural implement business. The company was formed and known as the Bull and Grant Farm Implement Company, with stores in this city and Los Angeles. Grant was placed in charge of the Los Angeles store and Montgomery, who furnished the capital, recently discovered that Grant had contracted debts and had also appropriated the proceeds trom the sale of the machinery amounting to about $80,000. Grant's record has been looked tip and it has been discovered that his name is Glen cross and that he committed similar offenses in London and fled to this country under the name of Edward Giencross. .He worked as a clerk in the railway clearing house of London. He was also known in London as Ebenezer Giencross. His whereabouts now are unknown. Montgomery announces that he finds it necessary to make an assign ment on account of Grant's fraudulent transactions. His liabilities are about $220,000 and assets $118,000. EEPDBLICANS CANNOT AGBEE Upon a Nominee for the Second Senator From North Dakota. Bismarck, N. D., November 21. At last the end of the red tape has been reached and Gilbert A. Pierce is a United States Senator for North Dakota. The event was the most interesting in the history of polit ical gatherings inj Dakota, and the crowd of citizens rose and cheered for several minutes. The Senator entered the room in response to the invitation of the joint Assembly. The speech of acceptance was short, but eloquent and to the point. As soon, as the joint Assembly dissolved the Johnson men in the House attempted to force a vote for the second Senator, but a motion to adjourn prevailed by a vote of 32 to 30. Twice the vote was a tie but the changing ot votes resulted in adjournment. A Republican conference committee has been appointed to call a caucus, but as it is a tie, no caucus will be called and in all probability the second Senatorship will be fought out in the Legislature. Johnson has passed hiszenith. Ordwayis gaining and it is believed will be elected. The Legisla ture meets at noon to-morrow when there will be a ballot ALL PEACEFUL IN BBAZIL. Tho New Government Is.

Dr. Valente, Minister from Brazil, called .at the State Department to-day and informed the Secretary that his latest advices from Brazil were to the effect-that peace and tran quility reigned, and that the new Govern ment was receiving the snpport oi the people. Dr. Valente also received this morning authority from, the provisional Government to instruct the representatives of Brazil to the International American Congress to continue to act for their country in tne sessions of the Congress, It is supposed that similar instructions have been sent to the delegates to the Inter national Marine Conference. ALL WIRE AND MILS Will in tho Tery Near Future lie Manufactured Exclusively by THE FEDERAL STEEL COMPAKY. A Meeting field to Formally Organise the New Corporation. OPPOSITION CONCERNS HATE NO SHOW They Will Hot be Able to Secure Any of the Keces sary Saw Material The Federal Steel Company combi nation of wire, wire nail and barbed wire concerns, was formally organized at Cleve land yesterday. All of the leading firms were represented. Mr. Oliver, of Pittsburg, will be Vice President of the new corpora tion. Cleveland, November 21. The Fed eral Steel Company, the gigantic corpora tion formed for the purpose of combining all the wire, wire nail and barbed -wire manufacturing plants of the country and controlling these three great industries, has been formally organized, and the directors and stockholders are now in session in this city closing the contracts with producers of raw material and accepting the options held upon the stocks bf the companies which will form part of the consolidation. The meetings are being held at the Yeddeli. Among the gentlemen present were the fol lowing: John W. Gates, of the St. Louis "Wire 'Com pany, St. Louis; T. McCosh, of the McCosh iron and Steel Company, Burlington, la.; Joel Sharpe, of the Balem Wire Nail Company, Salem, O.; James Larmon, of the Cincinnati Barb, wire Fence Company, Cincinnati: John F. Hazen, of the Cincinnati Wire Nail Com pany, Cincinnati: F. Buffington, of the Ameri can Wire Nail Company. Covington, Kv, and Anderson, Ind.; A. R.

Beach and a H. Chisholm, of the H. Nail Com pany, Cleveland; F. 8. Page, of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company, Cleveland, and Thomas Jopling and William Arkless, of the American Wire Company, Cleveland. PLANS OP THE COEPOEATION. It is understood that during the session a five-year contract was made with the Cleve land Boiling Mill Company to furnish the Federal Steel Company with steel billets and wire rods. The barbed fence business of the Cleveland Boiling. Mill Company, under the contract, will be suspended and that department of the company's large plant closed. It is also said that the ab sorption of the American Wire Company was practically completed. The American Wire Company is a close corporation, the stock being held, as far as known, by C. A. Otis, Thomas Jopling, T?'. B. Thomas, W. T. Wellman, Samuel Andrews, William Arkless and J. K. Bole, of this city. All of the shareholders, it is said, favor the consolidation project, and have ex changed their holdings for stock in the Fed eral Steel Company, through trustees ap pointed for that purpose. The plant of the wire works, it is said, was valued at $600, 000 and the good will at $200,000, so that the wire company will be represented by $800, 000 worth of stock in the consolidated cor poration. The owners of the H. P. Nail Works were not so unanimous in regard to entering the new company, but later on agreed to-do so. OLIVBB'S POSITION. Another meeting will be held to-morrow. and if time 'is found the officers of the new company may be chosen. It is generally conceded that 'Mr. J. W. Gates, of St, Louis, will be elected President and Mr. George T. Oliver, of Pittsburg, Vice President The directors said to-night that the other officers had not been decided upon as vet There are a number of concerns which have- not yet been induced to enter the fold. .One reason for holding aloof is that the offers made them will give them only an insignifi cant position in the combination. They feel that tbey may be forced to suspend operations temporarily, at least, for lack of raw material, the nine rod mills of America being either consolidated with the nail and fence manufacturers in the combination or being under contract to furnish the Federal Steel Company their entire product They say that already the new concern has such a hold that the rod mills will take no orders to be filled after January L NO USE FOE CLAIM AGENTS.

General Alger said : We are not going to ask for anything our selves,bnt the men who saved this Government shall not live In poorhouses. We are going to propose bill for Congress compelling the census-takers to take a full description of every soldier that fought in the war, so that we may have a history in brief of their military records filed at Washington, and classified, so that pensions may be given to poor soldiers and their widows, without having to send and search for records all over the world.

A Portion of the People Are Nearly Beady for the Move. fSrlCIAt. TILIOllAM to ths DISPATCH.! Monteeal, November 21. Apropos of Brazil, quite a number of French papers, La Patrie, Le Lecteur, Canadien and Levenement declare this morning in favor of a Canadian Eepublic. The Herald, of this city, the chief organ of the Dominion oppo sition, says the English people are slow to make constitutional changes, but adds that it is unsafe to say what the force of example and the increasing intercourse of Great Britain and America, backed by the further blackguardism of persons in high position, mieht not do. It would, of course, make no difference whatever to Canada were the English mon archv to give place to a Republic, beyond the impetus that such a change might give to the" train of thought that leads a thinker to the conclusion that it is nearly time Canada busied herself about her own in dependence. Australia, which is a baby among nations, is already considering the propriety of establishing an Australian nation. ENGINEERS COMING TOGETHER.

Many gentlemen hold a membership in two or more of these organizations, but the new society would number act far from 4,000. DISGRACEFUL DEATH. The Mystery of n Suicide Explained B. H. Payne Killed Himself in Preference to Facing; Certain Exposure One Crime Leads to Another. I SPECIAL TELXOBAK TO THE DISFATCH.l St. Loots, November 21. The motive for the suicide of B. H. Payne, a prominent young St Louis business man who put a bullet through his head in a Jersey City hotel on October 10,us no longer a mystery. When the news of the suicide was flashed to this city the relatives and friends of the unfortunate man could offer no explanation. He was wealthy, and appar ently successful in business. A few days after the suicide it was discovered that in stead of being successful in business ven tures, disaster had followed him continu ously, and of his fortune of $100,000 noth ing remained. The suicide was then attributed-to his losses. Mr. Payne was administratorof the Payne estate, the property of five minor heirs. These heirs were children of his brother, and their estate vwas worth 575,000. After Mr. Payne's death W. V. Butledge was ap pointed, administrator of the .Payne estate. To-day he completed the Investigation, begun a month ago, and announced that the entire estate had been stolen and swamped in speculation. The scheme by which Payne succeeded in dissipating the estate reflects seriously on the St. Louis Probate courts. He filed a petition from all the heirs asking for a par tition sale. The Court ordered the sale, and appointed Bochester Ford, Payne's partner, special commissioner. Payne repre sented himself as attorney for the heirs, when in truth he was not, and bought the entire estate from the special commissioner for 540,000 about half what it was worth. Then, instead of paying the money into court, he secured an order that the special commissioner pay the money over pro rata to the heirs. -Not 1 was paid to the spe cial commissioner, and not ?1 to the heirs, and Payne had the property in his own name. He then secured a loan of $40,000 from the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company on the property, and gave the American Opera Glass Company a second deed of trust for 525,000, secured loans from local banks, amounting to' 512,000, and lost the entire sum in real estate, opera glass and Wall street speculating. He invested 540,000 in the "dime-in-the-slot" opera glass business, and the enterprise fell flat. Knowing that discovery would eventually come, he went to New York and killed him self. The widow and five children learned for the first time to-night, that instead of a fortune of $100,000, which they supposed they possessed, they were penniless. They did not know that the sale had taken place. AN AIR-TIGHT AGREEMENT. A Close Trnfflo Arrangement Made Be. tween Two Prominent Rnllroads. ISPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DIBPATCH.l Chicago, November 21. "We mean to find out if the Union Pacific and Mr. Van derbilt have a mortgage on the States that lie west of the Missouri river," said a gen eral officer of the Atchison system, to-day. "In order to make a start in the investigation the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe system and the Chicago, Bock Island and Pacific have formed a close traf fic arrangement. The contract, was signed this evening. It is understood to run for 99 years, and became effective" to-day. It pro vides that a new trans-continental route shall be formed, to be known as the Atchi son and Bock Island line. The junction is fixed at Dodge City, Kan., where the Bock Island will make all westbound transfers to the Atchison, and the Atchison will deliver eastbound business to the Bock Island. "The Bock Island agrees that while the contract remains in force it will deliver to the Atchison all its business to the Pacifio slope, and to points reached by the Atchison system in connection with other lines than the Bock Island. The Atchison agrees to deliver to the Bock Island all business arising on its Pacific Slope lines going to points east of the Missouri -river. The alliance is both offensive and defensive." ALMOST AS GOOD AS GOLD. A Yankee Who Can Mnke Pretty Yellow Staff for 60 Cents a Found. fSPEClAL TELSQKAH TO THS DISPATCH. I Bridgeport, Conn., November 21. A Birmingham man has been experimenting for a year on ametal resembling gold, and has his discovery nearly perfected. He stumbled on the combination at first while analyzing some metals, and when he realized what he had found he soon produced a metal which puzzles the best of jewelers. All the aluminums before discovered are lacking in weight or some other essential point. The new metal is as heavy as gold, and to all appearances is the precious metal itself. It can be manufactured at a cost of about 60 cents a pound, and will make the best foundation for gold-plated goods that can be found. It is easily worked, and can be either hammered or drawn. The metal is no'tompound, it being only one kind, reduced to its gold-like appear ance by the application of certain chemicals. The inventor says there is no use in taking out a patent, as no one can discover the secret of its manufacture by analyzing it. CANADA COMING INTO LINE. Spread of tho Desire Over the Border for a Chance of Government. rSPECIAL TELIQBAil TO THE DISPATCH. Monteeal, November, 21. The. trans formation of Brazil into a Bepublic has had the effect of turning the attention of the Canadian press to the fact that Canada is the only remaining American country under monarchical control. The Herald, a lead ing organ of the Liberal party, declares in favor of a Canadian independence, and La Patrie, a leading French-Canadian paper, says to-night: There now only remains Canada in the New World which is under the sway of a royal scepter. Our most ardent wish is that it be given to the writer of those lines and to all - who snau read them to see the day when the electric wire will flash the news that the work nf Washington, .Lafayette. Pranklin, Lonis XVI., Rochambeau, Canning, Bolivar, Sucre, Lincoln, Paez, our fathers of 1837 and Da Fonseca has been completed, as well as the end of European rule over America, the com plete emancipation of tho New World, the reign of liberty from pole to pole, and the proclamation of the new Canadian Bepublic. WANTED TO GO TO JAIL. A Young Girl Becomes a Thief to Brsak Herself of tho Morphine Hnblt. SPECIAL TELEOBAK TO THE DISPATCH.! NKW Yoek, November 21. Hattie Cum- mings, a slender, pallid, plainly dressed girl of 17, pleaded guilty to-day in the Gen eral Sessions of stealing several articles of clothing from Mrs. Carrie Smith, of 305 West Nineteenth street, on November 10. Her counsel said that she was of excel lent family, bnt had been betrayed and de serted, when she threatened to kill her be trayer. She has become a victim of the morphine habit through a physician who had prescribed morphine for sleepless ness and enabled her to get mor phine at any time. She believed that during her imprisonment she would naturally conquer the morphine habit, and she had pleaded guilty more to obtain this rest and opportunity to recover her health, than because she was guilty. MRS. GOQDLOE GETS LEFT, But the Position Held by Her Hnsbaud Remains In the Family. Washingios, November 21. The Pres ident to-day appointed Thomas 'Clay Mc Dowell, of Kentucky, to be Collector of Internal Bevenne for the Seventh district of Kentucky, in place of William Cassias Goodloe, deceased. 1 Mr. McDowell was a son-in-law of the late Colonel Goodloe, - THE NEWEST FIELD. Continued from First Page. was down 600 feet when the tools were lost, and, after a short fishing job, it caved In, and Is now only 600 feet deep, with the tools still la the well. Ginger Hill, No. 2, of the Bellevernon and Monongabela City Company. Is 800 feet deep, and flshine, and is In danger of caving, not yet being cased. These instances are quoted to show the fact that there is more risk, and that greater care Is needed in drilling In these fields than there is in almost any other one which has been dis covered. THE AVEEAOE DEPTH of wells in the Bellevernon field Is about the same as In the Hickory and Canonsburg dis trict, The shallowest well of the Bellevernon Company, a light one, is 1.850 feet. The deepest Is 2,250 feet Ginger Hill, No. 1, of the Bell wood and Monongabela Company, Is 2,365 feet deep. Two others of the four wells owned by this company are 2,500 feet below the Pittsburg coal. All of these wells are In the 50-foot sand. The chief point of interest concerning the Bellevernon field' was as to whether or not it was simply a pocket field, or was it one which could he depended cpon furnishing gas over all its area, as does the Murrysville.fleld. The developments so far made indicate that it Is a pocket field only. The number of dry boles and their location would seem to show this. The Bellevernon Company put down a well not more than 3,000 feet distant from a well of the Philadelphia Company, which was pro ducing gas at nearly, ii not quite, 800 pounds pressure. So certain was everyone connected with it that the contractor who drilled the well was entirely willing to Insure gas for $500. That is. if he didn't get gas, he would only receive J500 for drilling the well, and if he did get it, he was to receive $500 more than the contract price, which was about $3,000. To the surprise of everyone, although the well was directly on the anticlinal, no gas was obtained. Anothef dry hole found by the Bellevernon Company was only a short distance from the BIder well, which was the largest one struck by the Belle vernon Company. This is now leased to the Monongahela Company (the Pittsburg con cern). The three dry holes of the Fhlladelnbia Company and those of the Bellwood and Monon gahela City Company were in no instance far from paying wells. HO QUESTION ABOUT IT. I JMr. S. F. Jones, of the Bellevernon Company, says "there is no question but tho field Is of only a pocket nature." Mr. Kuhn, Superin tendent of the Youghiogheny Company, says the same thing; and this is what an official of the Philadelphia Company says : "In comparison with the Mnrrysville, the Bellevernon field has shown an enormous pres sure. This is because it has been but recently tapped. It is somewhat 'spotted.' By this I mean that gas is only found In spots. The field so far is wholly undeveloped as compared with other fields. Nine wells have been drilled there. Three of them are dry. This result was brought about largely by drilling outside the gas belt under the impression that they were on the belt. If the Murrysville field had been started three miles farther East It would also be "spotted' as the Bellevernon field is to day." But where a good well is found in the Belle vernon field, it is extraordinarily good. The .Bellevernon Company only uses one of its wells, holds one in reserve, and leases the others to the Monongabela Oas Cempany. This one well of the Bellevernon Company is of abont 800 pounds rock pressure, and furnishes all the pas needed for domestic nnrnosp.s in 'Brownsville, California, Coal Center and Belle vernon; supplies some domestic service ana tne glass factory at Fayette City, and gives gas to two other glass factories, m all working 70 pots which are kept running. B. C. Schmertz & Co. supply part of their glass factory at Belle vernon with a small well of their own. The Ginger Hill well. No. 1, of the Bellwood and Monongahela City Company, located about 3 miles from the latter city, toward Washing ton, supplies all the manufacturing establish ments of the place, and all the domestic ser vice, except upon the hill. The Croll well, located as already mentioned. In the borough limits, furnishes the supply to the dwellings in the hill wards and to the green houses. This company has another well on liry run, held in reserve. THE BIO OHES GUSH. Nearly every well of any value at all for long distance work, which has been found in the Bellevernon district, has been close upon 800 pounds rock pressure. This comes from the character of the field. Being "pocketed" or "spotted," one well does not draw upon an other, so that the rock pressure is greater. But the field has been developed for only such a comparatively short time that nothing can be determined as to the life of the wells, it happened to become suddenly cold on November 15. On that day the pressure in the town pipes at Monongahela City from the great Ginger Hill well actually ran down to zero; bqt the distance of piping was so short that there was little appreciable difference In the volnme of gas furnished to-the fires. The testing of the Bellevernon field is still in prOeress. It is probable there Is much unde veloped territory there yet; bnt no one can tell without an actual test exactly where it is to be found. The two wells of Jones & Laughlins near Coal Center are simply being drilled for test purposes. Until they, find out the result they do not intend to lay any pipes. On the other hand, the Monongahela Gas Company is arranging to lay a larger pipe to the city, hav ing sufficient confidence in the field to do so. While Jones & Laughlins are putting down test mills in the Bellevernon field, tbey are also gathering data in regard to the best and cheapest methods of manufacturing an artifi cial gas for fuel. PONIES WITH A WTXIi. The roads were not so bad in the Bellevernon field as tbey were in the Murrysville section. But some of the buggy stock'was livelier. At Monongahela City I wanted a rig to drive over the Maple Creek field. The proprietor of the hotel suggested that a team of ponies would do better in the mud than horses. I agreed with him about that, bnt didn't agree to have a driver. It took three men to hitch up the team, while I got in the buggy. "In eoing up a hill you can touch that off one with the whip," said mine host; "but don't let the whip touch the near one, or he will jump out of the harness. Drive them with a tleht rein; they are a little ugly at starting; but they will go all right afterward." That was the caution before the signal for the men to let go. The hostlers let go, and so did tbe ponies. One stood on his hind legs for a moment, then came down on all fours, laid down flat and rolled over. The other tried to jump over the tongue-yoke, but only got out of the traces sidewise. Then both, getting up, tried to go different ways. It was a picnic, beautiful to contemplate. I took a driver, finally, in order to be relieved of responsibility for damage to ponies or buggv. I afterward learned that the owner of the team wouldn't attempt to drive it himself for twice its valne. I abandoned it myself op posite Bellevernon. The conclusions to be .gathered from what has already been published, and from state ments which have not yet .been put In type, will be tho next chapter of this series. c. T. Dawson..

Last evening James Hanney was arrested on a charge of murder, based on the state ment that he had kicked and beaten a woman namea.&ate xionovan, last -inurs-day, on Jones avenue, on the hill near Twenty-sixth street Hanney was placed in the Central station, and Daniel Welsh, Mary Welsh, Peter Beams, who owns the house where the alleged murder occurred, William Simpson and Annie Simpson were all arrested as'witnesses. An investigation of the case showed that Kate Donovan, who is a very small Jpropor tioned woman about 35 years of age, entered Daniel Welsh's house about 11 A. M. yes terday, and asked for a cup of tea. This was given her. but before she drank it she fell to the floor dead. Officers Miller and James Burke were called, and on inquiry were informed of the kicking and abuse which the woman is supposed to have re ceived, William Simpson being the princi pal informant. The body of Kate Donovan was removed to tbe morgue, where a close examination failed to show any external marks of violence, except" a slight abrasion on the right hip, which was evidently a very old mark. The remains looked very emaci ated, and the opinion of several people E resent was that death was caused from alco olism and want of nutrition. Assistant Superintendent of Police O'Mara, upon re ceiving the reports in the matter, ordered the release of the people held as witnesses, arriving at the same opinion as the people who had viewed the woman's remains that there was no murder in the case. A post mortem examination of the remains will be held this morning to ascertain if the woman sustained any internal. injuries which might have caused her death! The house where the woman lived and the witnesses also put in their time is reported by tbe police to be one of the' filthiest places they ever in vestigated. j AN ITALIAN ELOPEMENT.
