It is stated that Mike Kelly has wired

rEPECIAI. TELEGEJLK TO TUX DISrATCH.1
Cleveland, O., December 10. "When
President Johnson, of the Brotherhood, was
called upon by your cerrespondent to-night,
he was just opening a telegram from Mike
-iKelly. The dispatch read like this: "All
'rumors to the contrary. I shall sign Clark
Eon and Ganzell before I leave lor home."
"I have telegraphed Kelly to sign Clark
eon," said Mr. Johnson, "and I do not be
lieve Kelly will leave the Pacific coast
antfl he can bring with him the great pitcher's
contract.
'But it is rumored that the League has ot
tered him 10,000 a year," said the correspon.
dent."
"Ah," replied Mr. Johnson. "But the
Brotherhood is not bankrupt. We have sent
Kelly certain assurances within the last 24
hours that ought to settle matters. "We are no
longer the under doc in the tight,
HAJO-Oir'S CASE.
"The rumor that Edward Hanlon, of the
3?ittsburg club, was offered three separate and
distinct salaries to desert you is denied," re
marked the correspondent.
'It is true, nevertheless," answered Mr.
Johnson. "I, myself, heard Mr. Hanlon of
fered three salaries, one as player, another as
manager, and a third as captain of the Pitts
burg club. There is no speculation regarding
this. I hoard the conversation. Mr. Hanlon
declined, but it took extraordinary self-possession
to do it. His offer meant at least a thous
and dollars more than the Brotherhood can pay
him. Let me add," remarked Mr. Johnson,
that the Pittsburg Brotherhood club of next
year will be a winner. We have signed all the
big guns of last Tear, and shall have grounds
centrally located."
THE KEWTORK MEETING.
"When will you go to New Yorkr ' was asked.
"Next Sunday," was the reply. "Our meet
ing next Monday may last for three or four
days. The proposed consolidation with the
American Association will be considered."
"And the result will be?" interrupted your
correspondent.
"X cannot tell, but I am not an advocate of
the plan."
"Will the number of clubs composing the
Players' League be enlarged?" was asked.
"I do not think so. We are in splendid trim
sow. None of our influential members have
gone back on us."
"It is rumored that Tiernan is on the fence."
"Yes." replied the youthful President of the
Brotherhood, "and I have his absolute word to
play with our League. Up to this moment I
have 120 players signed, we are in the best of
trim, and are asking favors of nobodv."
"Where is Jim McCormick to pitch?" was
, asked.
"Maybe in Cleveland, maybe in Pittsburg,
and maybe in Brooklyn," was the answer.
"Anyway, he will pitch with all his might to
make the Brotherhood a big success."
THEIE CASE EEADI.
League DIncnates Prepare Their Argument
for Injunctions Anainst Players.
. ' rRracui. TZXXGSAJC TO TBI DISr ATCR. I
New York, December 10. The first move
an the part of the National League against the
Players' League was made to-day, when the
'League Committee, consisting of Messrs, Day,
Rogers and Byrne, with George F. Dnysters, of
counsel lor the New York Baseball Club, met
in the office of Evarts, Choate & Beaman, at 52
Wall street, and decided upon a plan of action
against one or more players of the New York
club. It is very certain that John Ward will
be selected tor the test case. During the con
sultation it was decided to work on one of two
plans either to apply for a temporary injunc
tion, pr file a bill of complaint. The former
plan would prove much the quicker, lor in case
a bill of complaint was hied it would take
weeks, andprobab!ymonths,forit to be reached
on the calender.
The committee went over the League con
tract with Mr. Beaman. and after the meeting
Mr. Beaman said that, as it was claimed that
there were too many its in the former opinion,
he was now ready to say that the Leairne con
tract was well made and binding. The papers
in the case will be prepared at once, and the
matter will probably come before one of the
Supreme Court judges. A complete history of
the reserve rule and a report of the Leagne
Brotherhood conference was submitted to Mr,
Beaman, to be incorporated in tbe evidence.
. President Day said to-night that he felt very
much encouraged over the result of tbe meet
ing. Colonel Rogers, however, was probably
tbe happiest man at tbe meeting. He said that
heretofore be had not declared that the League
had a case against tbe contract breakers. How,
however, he was perfectly satisfied that the
League had a good case. Colonel Rogers left
for borne after making the remark that he
-would prepare papers in a suit against one or
more of the Philadelphia players at once. One
cannot secure a temporary injunction in Phila
delphia, so that it will be necessary to file a bill
of complaint.
President Robinson, of the Cleveland club,
arrived in tbe city to-day. He says that he is
Perfectly satisfied with the progress that the
League is making.
THOSE CONFLICTING EDSIOES.
Interesting Features About tbe Beckley
nnd Hanlon Cnses.
The conflicting reports of the Brotherhood
and League supporters really become more be
Iwildering every day. One exceedingly inter-
testing feature of the matter is that in many
cases Brotherhood officials state that a certain
player has signed with them; the League offi
cials claim ho has signed with them, and the
player denies that he has signed with anybody.
It was definitely stated last evening In this city
that Beckley had sicned with the Brotherhood,
but President Nimick stated that he had
reason for not believing tbe statement.
Hanlon will likely be in the city to-day. when
he may be able to clear up the controversy re
garding what the old dub offered bim to ro--xnainwlth
it next year. Local club officials
claim emphatically that his own offer, 53,800,
was accepted. President Johnson now states
that Hanlon was offered 1,000 more than the
Brotherhood can pay, and that apparently
means that Hanlon will get 2,800 next year.
However; It win be interesting to know, now
that matters have gone so far, exactly what
Hanlon did want, or what he was offered.
POSTPONED THE MEETING.
Local Ieagne Magnates Will flare Their
Confab To-NIghi.
The annual meeting of th6 local League club
which was to have been held last evening was
adjourned until this evening, Mr. Palmer
O'Xell being unable to be present last evening.
A new manager will likely be elected this
evening and there is a strong feeling in favor
of Manager Leadley, of Detroit Mr. Bnrnham
is also a favorite, but Pittsburgers generally
are strongly inclined toward the genial Mr.
Leadley. Yesterday afternoon President
Nimick stated that be could not tell who would
be elected. "1 favor a player," he said. He,
however, refused to state who the player was.
Their Money Up.
The parties interested in the bet relative to
Earn Day's proposed effort to run 66 miles in 10
hours on Saturday, met yesterday, and each
made good his $100. Day was present, and ex
pressed his confidence of being able to accom
plish the task. The track will be selected to
day or to-morrow. It will either be at McKee's
Bocks or tbe London Theater.

tSFECIAI. TZI.IORJUC TO THX DISrXTCH.1
' Rochester, N. Y December 10. Baseball
matters in this city have been given a new turn
by the presence here of Edward Hanlon, the
Brotherhood's chief agent. He arrived to-day,
and has been hustling since his arrival. Joe
Visner, "Stump" Weidman, Bob Barr and
Pitcher Will Callahan are among the profes
sionals wintering in Rochester, and it has been
learned that Hanlon has made each man liberal
.inducements to join the Brotherhood.
Hums is a stociuioiaer in ine newiy-organizea
local club, and is the king bee of the lot. Han
lon offered yonng Callahan $1,200 the first
season, 1,800 the second, and $2,450 the third, if
he would sign a three-year contract. To-night
it is stated that he has secured all the quartet
by contract. Among others with whom Hanlon
has been consulting are several stockholders in
the newly-organized club, and it is an open
secret that he wants to have it employ none bnt
Brotherhood players.
THE BCDLLIKG CHAMPIONSHIP.
Nobody Can Lav a Jnst Claim to the
Title.
The somewhat sudden death of Henry Searle.
the champion sculler of the world, leaves the
championship an open question. A similar oc
currence has only happened once before, viz.,
when Benforth, the Englishman, died suddenly
in his boat. When that sad event took place
Joseph H. Sadler claimed the title, but could
not get it until he offered to row anybody in
the world. His challenge was accepted by
Robert Bagnall, and the former won.
Similar conditions exist now. Neither O'Con
nor nor Stansbury can lay jnst claim to the
title. It must be rowed for, and Stansbury can
cot comnsl an opponent to row on Australian
waters, mere is an opportunity tor some en
terprising sporting people to promote a gigantic
sculler contest for the championship of the
world.

MILLER HAS A SHOW.
President Harrison's Indianapolis
Lawyer Partner Hay Yet
SIT UPON THE SUPREME BENCH.
Several Appointments in That Court Ex
pected Soon to be Handy.
SILCOITS STAL1KCS MUST BB PAID.
Uncle Bam in a Tery fair Way to Honor tie Fiddler's
Draft.
Two more Supreme Court Justices are
among the possible appointments President
Harrison may soon have to make. The
court is overworked, and two more Justices
are asked for, so the President's law partner,
Mr. Miller, may yet sit on the Supreme
Bench. It is now considered certain that
the Government will have to repay Congress
men their salary, taken by Silcott.
1 SPECIAL TELEQEA1I TO THX DtSrATCH.!
"Washington', December 10. President
Harrison may yet have an opportunity, be
fore the expiration of his term, to-appoint
his law partner, Williara Henry Miller, to
a seat upon the bench of the United States
Supreme Court It is understood that the
Senators who are members of the
Judiciary Committee have under con
sideration the plan of a bill providing for
the appointment of two additional Supreme
Court Justices. The request for the passage
of such a bill comes from the members of
the court, who say that owing to the in
creased amount of work to be thrown upon
.them, by tbe admission of the new States,
additional Justices are required.
Of course, if the bill becomes a law, it
will be necessary to make new assignments
of the Justices to the various districts
throughout the country, and it will also be
necessary to create at least two additional
districts. It would not do to divide this
extra work among the nine members of the
court, as they are already overworked and
two or three years behind on the docket.
In addition to these proposed two addi
tional Justices, it is said that the President
will probahly have the appointment ot two
or three more before the expiration of his
term, as Justice Miller and one or two
others will be ready to retire before that
time, and they will certainly do so if Presi
dent Harrison should be succeeded by a
Democrat.
In connection with the plan for the en
largement of the membership of the court.
the Justices are also seeking supporters for
the bill, already introduced, providing for
the erection of a separate building for the
use of the court. It is said that tbe rooms
now used are too small, inconvenient, and
badly lighted. Senator Morrill has intro
duced the bill for the erection of the
new building, and it is now before the
Committee of Public Buildings and grounds
for consideration. It is the intention of
those interested in the matter to have the
court building located, should the bill be
come a law, either in Judiciary Square,
where the courts of the district are, or on
a site to be selected in tho neighborhood of
the new library building, on Capitol Hill.
. MUST PAI THE FIDDLEE.
Uncle Sam Pretly Certain to Foot tho Bill
Run by Mr. Silcott. '
rSTXCXU. TELKOBJUt TO TUX DISFATCH.1
Washington, December 10. It is now
pretty certain that Congress will have to
foot the bill for whatever fun Mr. Silcott
may have had out of the $70,000 odd dollars
which he took out of the safe of the Ser-geant-at-Arms.
On the other hand, Con
gress is coming to the conclusion that Mr.
Leedom, whose cashier Silcott was, acted as
disbursing agent for the Government in the
payment of Congressmen's salaries, and that
all those salaries which have not been paid,
though the money was drawn out of
the Treasury for that purpose, can
be collected from the Government.
OX course it is not difficult for Congress to
interpret the law in this way, and the 215
Congressmen who are prospective losers may
be expected to vote a liberal appropriation
for their own reimbursement, and
to put the political screws upon their
friends at the other end of the Capitol, to
induce them to join hands in this backpay
grab. At the same time it is clear that
Mr. Leedom's bond is not worth the paper
on which it is written.
Ex-Congressman Paige, now of Kew
York, has engaged Lawyer Davidge to look
up his liability as a signer of Leedom's
bond, and the lawyer has found that.accord
ington to the express terms of the
bond, the sureties are held for
the faithful performance of Leedom's
duties "during the Fiftieth Congress." As
the Fiftieth Congress died last March, and
as the unpaid salaries have accumulated
since that date, neither Leedom nor his
bondsmen can be held. And so Uncle Sam
will have to pay the fiddler.

r?BOM A STAFF COEKESPONDENT.l
Washington, December 10. A depu
tation of Congressman Bay's constituents
called upon him to-day, iu reference to the
tight over the postoffice at McKeesporL
They were Messrs. E. W. Harrison, W. C.
Soles and A. Inskeep, of McKeesport; Mr.
Eichard G. Wood, of Pittsburg, and S. E.
Stiswart, of Verona. Mr. Harrison is a-can-didate
for the office in question, and the
other gentlemen came alone to help him
present his claims. Congressman Bay took
them to see Postmaster General Wanama
ker, and the delegation also called upon
Eepresentatives Bayne and Dalzell, in an
endeavor to induce them to use their influ
ence in Mr. Harrison's behalf.
Congressman Hay, in whose district the
office is situated, and whose recommenda
tion will actually decide thecontest, says he
is as yet absolutely uncommitted to the sup
port of any of the candidates.
AN ADTHOEITI SPEAKS.
Mr. C. S. Pngh Outlines the Chance in tbe
West Penn Officials.
General Manager Charles E. Pngh, of the
Pennsylvania Eailroad, was in the city yes
terday, and when asked about the reported
discharge of Superintendent Hirtland and
other officials of the West Penn division,
said: v
"I am very sorry that any reports reflect
ing on the integrity of the gentlemen should
have been published. Any such reports are
untrue, and the reason for the changes are
purely business ones. Mr. Kirtland has
not kept pace with the development of his
division, out if he wishes to remain in our
employ he may do so. His resignation is
to go into effect on January 1, but if be
stays he will be transferred to some other
division."
It was learned that Superintendent J. B.
Hutchinson, of the Altoona division, is
slated for Mr. Rutland's place, while Vic
tor Weirman, Assistant Engineer of the
Pittsburg division, will succeed Mr. Hutch
inson, and G. L. Cummins, of the Monon
gahela division, will get Mr. "Weiiman's po

TEE SUPPLY OF BIYEB COAL.
llllner Still Inactive Cincinnati and South
era Markets Well Stocked.
Mining affairs in the Monongahela Valley
continue in an inactive condition and with
the exception of one or two small operators
who send down an occasional boatload, and
one mine owner who is shipping flat coal
for the local market, bnsiness is at a stand
still. "I have reason to know," said a leading
operator yesterday, "that the feeling among
the majority of the diggers is in favor or a
resumption of work at the old rates. They
are acted upon, against their own interests,
by half a dozen leaders who seek to gain
their own ends and a living, at the expense
of their fellows. I believe that a large sec
tion of the men favor the idea of holding
another convention and electing other and
more temperate and intelligent delegates to
meet a committee of the operators to discuss
the present conditions ot the trade, than
those whom they lately sent here and who
declined to listen to either facts or figures in
the conference. Ton have already referred
in THE DISPATCH to me growing increase
in the Kanawha competition andthe large
quantities of coal stored at Cincinnati and
other points. Now tbe Southern market is
just as well supplied."
"Here," continued the gentleman, "are
tbe official returns of the number of boats
lying south of Memphis. TJp to the end of
November there were 238 of last year's boats
and 212 of those recently sent down stored
in the South. These include the shipments
of 11 operators, and taking 24,000 bushels to
a boat, there are now 10,800,000 bushels
available for the use of the Southern mar
kets; enough to supply the demand until
the 1st of May."
BILLY KIDDLE'S FUNERAL.
Ho Will be Burled in Washington County
Newsies Want to Attend.
The body of W. N. Eiddle, ex-President
of the defunct Penn Bank, of this city, who
died in New York Monday, -will arrive in
the city this morning. The funeral services
will take place from his mother's residence,
near Canonsburg,.in Washington county,
to-morrow. The Knights Templar of this
city will participate in the exercises and
have charge of the funeral.
Three newsies about as dirty as an ordi
nary street arab can get in a month walked
into General A. L. Pearson's office yester
day afternoon. After taking off their hats,
which proceeding was caused by the leader
giving one of the others a swipe over the
head for his lack of manners, the tallest
boy, who was not more than 13 years old,
said:
"Say, Where's de Genral?"
"General Pearson at that moment ap
peared in the doorway and the urchin, ad
dressing him, said, after making an attempt
at a courtesy:
"Say, tfenral, w'en does Billy Kiddle's
funral cur off. "We wanter take it in. We
knew Billy, we did, an' tink it's right to be
at de burial. Billy was de newsies best
friend and we're goin' t'do de square ting
f he's buried here."
The speech almost floored the General,
but upon recovering from his astonishment
he informed the boys what arrangements
had been made. The action ol the Arabs
showed the spirit they possessed and their
appreciation of their old mend.
PRESIDENT T0DNG A P00EMAN.
A Friend of HI Says HI Private Fortune
Ha Been Sank.
President W. W. Young, of the Lawrence
Bank, is a poor man. A iriend of his stated
that he has nothing except what kind asso
ciates have given him to help him along
since the failure. He sold his home for
$50,000 and a lot in East Liberty for
$9,000, making $59,000, all of which he
put into the bank to try to save it Last
Saturday Mr..Young stated that there were
$600,000 assets in sight but he didq't know
what the liabilities will be. It is stated on
good authority that the Love Manufactur
ing Company was as much responsible for
the collapse of the bank as the failure of
Long & Co.
The meeting of the directors of the bank
which was reported as having taken "place,
on Monday, aid not come off. Mr. Allison,
the expert accountant, said no such meet
ing of directors was called, and he couldn't
see for what purpose they would meet, be

ACCUSED OF PERJURY
Attorney Forrest Makes a Serious
Charge Against a Leading
WITNESS FOE THE PB0SECOTI0H.
Trying to Break tho Force of the Finding
of Cronin's Knives.
HEARING THE CLOSE OF THE TRIAL.
The Illness of One of tbe Counsel Hay Delay Matters
a Little.
Mr. Forrest again occupied the entire day
in tbe Cronin case with his closing plea for
the prisoners. He charged Conklin with
perjury in swearing that the knives found
in Coughlin's pocket had belonged to tbe
murdered doctor. But one more attorney
will speak after Mr. Forrest concludes his
address.
Chicago, December 10. Mr. Forrest re
sumed his argument to the jury at the open
ing of the Cronin trial this morning, con
tinuing his analysis of the evidence for the
defense. To show how easily one might be
mistaken, he cited the evidence of Policeman
Lorch. Lorch was positive that the stains
iu the Carlson cottage were blood stains, yet
the Court corrected him by saying that it had
the appearance ot blood, for the actnal ques
tion could not be decided without a micro
scopic examination.
Lorch was also positive that the stains in
the cotton batting fonnd in the basement
were not blood stains, yet the reporter who
put that cotton batting there testified that
they were blood stains, which he himself
had pnt upon it, squeezing the blood from a
piece of liver.
bogus blood stains.
Mr. Forrest continued by saying that this
bloody cotton battine was nut into the cot
tage tor the purpose of furnishing the basis
for a newspaper sensation, and the stains in
the parlor and the paint must have had a
similar origin. In fact, when the cottage
was entered on May 12 the paint on the floor
was found to be quite fresh' It would pot
he said, take eight days for paint to dry.
Mr. Forrest then recurred to the expert tes
timony and the danger of putting faith in it
Mr. Forrest next went into an exhaustive
analysis of the testimony of Milkman
Mertes, Mrs. Hoertel and other witnesses
for the prosecution to show that it was man
ufactured. The conclusion that he reached
was that the Cronin faction of the Clan-na-Gael
had been drilling witnesses to give
false testimony, and that all of the new evi
dence brought out since the sitting' of the
Uoroner s jury had been so manufactured as
to strengthen weac spots in the case of tbe
State as they were developed during the
course of tbe trial.
The speaker then reviewed Kunze's ac
tions subsequently to the murder, and argued
that they were only explainable on the
theory ot his innocence. Following this he
took up the alibi evidence for O'Sullivan,
Burke and Coughlin, and asserted that it
was sufficiently strong to maintain the pre
sumption of innocence in their favor.
A CHABGE OP PEEJUET.
Mr. Forrest again went over the matter of
the knives found in Coughlin's pocket and
declared that Conklin had committed per
jury in swearing that they belonged to Dr.
Cronin. The court then adjourned till to
morrow. It is understood that Mr. Forrest
will complete' his address to-morrow, and
the probabilities are that the court will therl
adjourn till Friday, as Thursday is election
day.
Sir. Mills, who is to make the closing fid
dress on behalf of the prosecution, has b'ien
quite ill, and it is not altogether cer'iain
that he will be able to deliver his argument
on Friday. In that case a further adjourn
ment may be necessary. Should he s able
to proceed, it is hoped that the trial iay be
concluded this week.
MR. COLLINS DENIES IT.
He Doe Not Believe Consolidating tho
Orders Will Help Them.
Concerning the report that State Vice
Councillor Stephen Collins, of the Jr. O. IT.
A. M., is opposed to the consolidation of the
Senior and Junior Orders, because it might
interfere with his chances, for becoming
State Councillor, Mr. Collins had this to
say to a Dispatch reporter before his de
parture for Kew York:
"I have never opposf.-d consolidation, I
attended the meeting in the hopes of hear
ing some reasons advan ced why a consoli
dation would benefit the cause or benefit
the orders nothing wfis shown to that effect
I have said that I did not believe a consoli
dation would come soon and that I was not
prepared as yet to favor it. I believe as
much, if not more, -can be accomplished by
both orders working independently, hut
harmoniously.
"As to my opposing it because I am a
State officer in the Jr. O. H. A. -M., I
have only to ss.y that there is only one
higher position that I can be elected to in
the State, and -will be elected to that next
July, betore a, consolidation could possibly
be effected as it must be done through the
National Councils at or after their meetings
next summer."

lack of an Audience Drive the African
Apostlo to Despair Bat Ho Will Yet
Soar la Triumph In Ethereal Air.
Eev. Csesar A. A. Taylor, M. TJ. D., etc.,
etc, the gentleman of African descent, who
got himself into trouble with his landlady's
daughter,' last week, was booked for a
lecture at Avery. Mission, Allegheny, last
night The ebony exponent of multitudin
ous omniscience contemplated lecturing on
whatever his audience wanted to hear ex
plained and discussed; bat, alas I there was
no audience.
At 8 o'clock the church was lighted and
everything put in readiness for the expected
crowd, but no crowd materialized. The
would-be lecturer, however, was on hand,
and, as the moments flew by and no'
expectant throng greeted his anxious gaze,
he became more and more excited. Finally
he abandoned hope and 'fled from the scene,
but not however, before he had expressed
himself strongly about the non-appreciative-ness
of tbe general public.
The sable seeker after shekels was will
ing to acknowledge that he was partially to
blame for tbe dearth of hearers, saying that
since his late trouble and subsequent incar
ceration iu the county jail he had not been
able to advertise tbe lecture properly. He
also reiterated his statement to the effect
that there was a conspiracy against him,
but declared that he could not be downed.
"My persecutors are now on top, but wait
The time is coming when I shall soar ibove

the blue ether with his tireless pinions, look

said to oue of the attaches of the church.
One churchman, who wishes his name
withheld, said that he considered the Eev.

THEI ARE APTEE BLOOD.
Meeting of Greene County Members of tbe
DotcIIo & Rush Cattle Company.
Stockholders of the Laramie Plains Land
and Cattle Company to the number ot 2
met yesterday in the office of William H.
Dennison, and it seems to have been a very
earnest gathering. The meeting was mainly
composed of Greene county farmers, who
wished to find a way-out of the complication
which contronts them.
Committees were appointed to make sale
of lands, cattle, hay, etc., proceeds to be ap
plied to indebtedness.
"While the meeting was reticent while In
session, seme members expressed themselves
plainly after adjournment One said he
.was a Greene county farmer who, four years
ago, was worth $50,000, and now was ruined
through the 'operations of the company.
With an original capital of $80,000, the
amonnt was .increased $200,000, and in ad
dition $110;000 collected in assessments
from Greene county people.
There was talk of all sorts of crookedness
having been indulged in and that a con-
siaeraDie number of people in this city were
caught Many law suits are threatened, and
altogether it looked as though, the Dowlin
& Eush Cattle Company might hereafter
navigate a very strong channel.
LOOKING FORWARD TO 1890.
ThoExposltlon Society Ha n Conference
Upon Next Year's Expo.
The directors of the Exposition Society
met in their rooms in the Hamilton Build
ing yesterday afternoon. Only routine busi
ness was transacted, which consisted in clos
ing up the affairs connected with the exhi
bition of 1889.
Some suggestions were made in an in
formal way concerning the exhibit of 1890.
All agreed that the next effort of the society
should and will be more successful than the
one just past, because of new ideas and an
absence of hurry and worry that attended.
Nothing definite will be submitted, how
ever, until all the business now on hand is
closed up and the annual election is over.
