Shortstop McKean, of Cleveland, Re turns to the Brotherhood. THE SPORTING HEWS OF THE DAT The decision of Judge O'Brien in the famous "Ward injunction case was given in favor of "Ward. The law on the case is plainly laid down by the judge. There were great rejoicings throughout the big cities among new Leacue supporters. McKean, the Cleveland shortstop, resolves to return to the Brotherhood. Some inter esting opinions about Judge O'Brien's de cision are given. rsrzcuLi. teliqejlm to ths disfatch. New Tokk. January 28. The decision in the great baseball case was announced by Judge O'Brien in the Supreme Court at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The baseball men were unanimously of the opinion that this was a victory for the Brotherhood. They were exceedingly jubilant. Up to the time that the Judge announced he wonld render a decision, the defendant was exceedingly restless, but after the Judge had launched forth on his opinion he became quieter, and at last a smile suffused his face that would have put to shame the famous smile ot Mutrie. Beginning his decision, Judge O'Brien says: "This is a suit brought in equity to re strain the defendant from playing the game of baseball or rendering services of any kind until October 31. 1890, for, or in behalf of any person or corporation, except tbe plaintiff. It is sought by this motion to enjoin tbe defen dant until tbe trial can be bad. THE PLAINTIFF'S BIGHT. "The plaintiff bases its right to tbe relief sought upon an agreement between the New York Baseball Club and tbe defendant dated April 2d, 18S9. This agreement provided that tbe defendant was to engage in the exhibition of the game of baseball for tbe said club for the period of seven months, between April 1. 1SS9, and October 3L 1SS9. It also contained a pro vision which u ill hereafter be more fully set forth and discussed, by which it gave to the plaintiff tbe right (to reserve) the defendant for tbe season of 1S91 One of the principal questions discussed upon tbe argument was as to tbe meaning of the word reserve' as used in the contract." THE WABD EESEBVE Judge O'Brien then enters upon a discussion of tbe word "reserve." He decides that tbe plaintiffs use of tbe word is correct. He says: VNor do I agree with tbe defendant's state ment of law, wherein he asserts tbat tbe gen eral rule is tbat an injunction will not be granted in aid of a contract for personal serv ices. Whatever doubt may have existed in the past, it is now the settled law of England and America that wben a person has entered into a definite contract to render services to an other of such a nature as not to be easily re placed, and tbe loss of the services to the em ployer will be a loss not to be compensated for in damages, a breach or a threatened breach of such contract maybe restrained by injunc tion. While a distinction is observed between affirmative and negative in such an agreement, and while the court does not possess the power to compel a person to render services which he agreed to perform, yet when be has stipulated not to work for another the court can and will. In a proper case, prevent his doing so." PBECEDEXTS QUOTED. He quotes precedents and says tbat a court of eqnity is extremely loath in cases of this kind to not only practically decide and civo judgment bat also to execute it, by enjoining the defendant before any trial upon tbe merits has been bad. A preliminary injunction will not be granted exceut in cases where there is wtbe strongest probability that the court will ul timately decide tbat plaintiff is entitled to the relief which it demands in its complaint. Judge O'Brien then cites many precedents and says: Vvbile, tberelore. in a proper case the de fendant is amenable to this rule of law and the court has tbe power and right to prevent his breaking any covenant made not to give bis services to another, it remains to be seen wbetber upon tbe facts and proofs as they exist bere a case is presented for the intervention and exercise of tbe court's power during tbe endency of tbe action and before tbe rights of tbe parties are determined by the more delib erate proceeding of a trial," THE CONTBACT DISCUSSED. Judge O'Brien then considered at length tbe difference between a suit at law and a suit at equity and decided that in a suit at equity such as tbe present suit, the court has no power to enforce tbe detendant to play ball with the plaintiff. He then takes up tbe contract and reviews its stipulations and says that certain provisions of the contract fail to disclose what are to be the terms and conditions of tbe agree ment between tbe parties in the event that tbe plaintiff shall exercise his option to reserve the defendant for tbe ball season of 1890. "The failure in the existing contract," says Jndge O'Brien, "to expressly provide tbe terms of a contract to be made in 1890 renders the latter indefinite and uncertain." Judge O'Brien says that the League contract is one wbicb binds tbe player for a period of years and tbe club for ten days. "It will thus be seen," sajs Judge O'Brien, "that I do not fully concur in the claims made by the plaintiff that the probability of hnally succeeding is of the strongest and most certain kind. Upon either one or both of tbe grounds considered, but principally upon the ground tbat tbe con tract is indefinite and uncertain, does there arise a serious doubt as to plaintiff's being accorded upon the trial the relief asked for. SHOULD BE SPEEDILY TBIED. "However that may be, there is no reason why this action should not be speedily tried and tbe various questions of law and fact which arise in it be deliberately and finally disposed of. The plaintiff seeks by injunction to restrain tbe defendant from playing ball for other clubs during the season of 1890. The playing season does not open until tbe middle of April. Before tbat time this action can be tried at special term and final judgment rendered. A final judgment before tbe playing season opens will Becure every posiible right of plaintiff." Judge O'Brien decides to deny the prelimi nary lrjunction. Ho promises that be will assist in securing a speedy trial of the case. President John B. I)av. of the New York club, after bearing the unfavorable decision visited the office of Lawve r Geo, F. Duystcrs in com pany with C. T. Dillingham and Walter Apple ton. Air. Day manliested tbe utmost surpnse at the verdict, and appeared deeply affectud. He told a Dispatch reporter tbat be had noth ing to say until he had read the decision. Law yer Dnysters as another surprised man. He was almost confident tbat tbe motion for a pre liminary injunction would be sustained. Ho said tbat he could not tell at present wbetber there would be an appeal taken to the general term; that would lis decided after a consulta tion with Kvarts, liioate fc lieaman. He said that be was ready at any time for a speedy trial of the case. TIM KEEFE IN GBEAT GLEE. Tim Keefe was found at his store, 157 Broad way, after the decision had been rendered. He was exceedingly jubilant, and was surrounded by a host of friends who were pressing their congratulations upon him. "Of course," said he. "the decision is very satisfactory, and I am greatly pleased with it. I do not see how it could be otherwise, for we had the law with us. 1 knew of the decision last night. How did I cet itT Well, one of tbe opposition, a man wbo is interested above all others in seeing us de feated, told me of it, and there is no doubt that he got bis information from an authoritative source." "Do vou think tbat tbe case will do ap pealed T" "Well, hardly. It would do no good for tbe other side to appeal tbe case for I am certain tbat the decision would be just tbe same. What makes me so certain about itT Well. I will tell you. Jndge O'Brien reviewed the entire case with tbe Judge to whom tbe appeal would be made and that man. whose name I don't know, entirely coincided with O Bnen. So you see there is no show whatever for the other side. I think tbe prospect looks very dark for them." As the reporter was about to denart Tim shouted after him, "Chicago will be painted red to-night." Postmaster Van Cott appeared to be highly pleased with tbe decision. "I haven't had any time to really consider tbe matter. I went into tbe proceeding as a matter of principle because I think tbe idea of selling players is all wrong. It was for this reason that I agreed to help Ward along. I think the baseball fraternity owe Ward a great deal for tbe stand he has taken. Slavery was abolished years ago and there should be no signs of It in these modern times. As a matter of principle I am heartily glad that the decision has been given in the players' favor." HEW I0KK ABLAZC Enthusiasm About John M. Ward's Victory Runs Very High. IXrXCIAt. TELEGRAM TO THE DISr-ATCK.1 New York, January 23. The town is ablaze with Brotherhood emblems to-night. In every portion of the city the cry is "Who are the People?" and tbe answer simultaneously fol lows "Tbe Brotherhood." Around all the sport ing resorts the baseball enthusiasts have con gregated, and Ward is the watchword. 1 be lit tle Napoleonic baseball player and advocate is tbe lion of the town. He was given an infor mal banquet at Nick Engle's soon after the de cision was rendered by Judge O'Brien, and there were read hundreds of congratulatory telegrams, among which were some from Pitts burg. The one which raised a hearty hurrah was: Nick PStole. God bless Judge O'Brien. We are stronger than ever. J. P. Thompson. During this convivial gathering three cheers were given tbe newspaper fraternity, among which the representatives of the World, Star, Boston Globe and Pittsburg Dispatch were remembered. On the Stock Exchange this afternoon a lull in Lackawanna was followed by a grand rush to tbe ring by tbe boys. Dick Halstead was the cynosure of all eyes with a telegram in his band. He held it up and read: "Ward and the Brotherhood win. Three cheers." This was taken up by tbe whole floor, and upon this news Lackawanna advanced a quarter. Ed. B. Talcott, who is a young millionaire member, and one of the prime movers in the Brotherhood, signified his staying with the boys tbrougb rainy days and Sundays, by giving a grand banquet to-night to the players and ad vocates present ot the new League. Toasts were responded to by Edward Everett Bell, George H. Dickinson, George Gore and J. JI. Ward. Tbe decision of Judge O'Brien is con sidered final, as ex-Judge Rowland, counsel for the defendants, says it is hardly probable tbat an appeal to a brother judge (the only re source) wonld be reversed. Other reliable sources think John B. Day will not expend an other $5,000 for a futile purpose, and tbat it is possible that be will be a stockholder in tbe scheme before snow flies next year. P1TTSB0RG OPINION. How Judge O'Brien's Decision Wan Re ceived By the Local Cranks. The news of Jndge O'Brien's decision was received in the city yesterday by great rejoic ing of those who support the new league. Tbe officials of tbe new club were extremely jubi lant as they bad a right to be. Mayor McCallin and Treasurer Kerr each received a telegram from J obn M. Ward announcing the fact tbat Judge O'Brien bad refused to grant an in junction. Throughout the various resorts of sporting people in the city last evening tb de cision was tbe subject of comment, and it met with great favor. It has been steadily main tained in this paper tbat an injunction would not be granted so the readers ot tbe paper will not be surprised. President Nimlck deelared himself apparent ly very joyfully regarding the decision. Ho said: "I am thoroughly satisfied with It. We don't need any injunctions because I would sooner have young players whose hearts are in tbe business than old ones wbo would only play for us because they are forced to do so. We don't intend to try and enjoin any of the Pitts burg players." Secretary Scandrett declined to say much until he had read tbe Judge's arguments. "Al though no injunction is granted." said Mr. Scindrett, "it mav beavictory for the League." The opinion of the Judge certainly leaves matters considerably tangled up. and it will doubtless prompt ne or more suits as soon as possible. However, it would seem tbe wiser way to stop all legal Dattle, and refer tbe matter to the tribunal which under all circum stances must sooner or later settle it the people. They pay for tbe game, and all tbe legal opinions in tbe world won't make them support a club or organization that is not wanted. Tho National League has suffered a knock-down in tbe first round, and it would perbaps be the better plan to leave the courts alone. In the past, players have always come out with the best of it. Hon. M. B. Lembn, John Wamser, Jimmy Galvin and bost of other new League sup porters werj visiting their brother Elks at Mc Keespor. last evening.

Cincinnati, January 28. as maybe imag agined, the bulletins which told of the Brother hood's victory brought joy to tbe hearts of the onlv players in tbe city identified witb the bod'y. Captiin Ewing and Jack Boyle. They believe that from this time forward tbe Play ers' League will walk on velvet. Speaking of the new Chicago club, Boyle says: "We report at Chicago on tbe first of March, and 1 bebeve the programme is to make a Southern trip. People seem to think we have a great team and will walk away with the pen nant, but New York and Philadelphia are pretty strong." "Is there no possible chance tor failure as you look at itT' was asked. "1 don't see where it comes in. We have nearly all the best players in the country now, and by summer time can get all tbe others tbat we need from the League's ranks. They, will be trailing our way by that time." There is no question about Jack Boyle's fidel ity to the new cause. He is unshaken in tbe faith, and doesn't believe it within the League's power to upset the players, be, however says: "Cincinnati has a great team this year and ought to cut a prominent figure in the race. The Reds will doubtless draw well in Chicago, Boston and New York." BEUKtLli TALKS. He Thinks That Judge O'Brien's Decision Settles the Matter. Chicago, January 28. Secretary Brunei!, of tbe Players' League, said this evening re garding Judge O'Brien's decision as to John M. Ward: "Ihe decision proves the might of right. Where will tbe fight lead now; There is no fight. On the heels of an adverse decision to us a fight would have come, for we were fully equipped for even that. Tbe Flayers' League will now surround it-self with minor leagues, and build up a new group similar to that bound by tbe National agreement, but built on fairer lines. What about the deserters and agree ment breakers? The old League will find them hard to bold if we want them back. Tbe Players' clubs and Brotherhood will consider their cases. Judge O'Brien spreaks of a trial on the merits of the case. We shall welcome one. Only a court trial with witnesses can show the beauties of tbe reserve rule. There can be no other outcome than tbat of to-day." This evening Fred Andre,in the absence of A. G. Spalding, said: 'This decision practi cal! settles matters. I do not think it will be carried any further. Of course, an appeal to the highest court of all the people who know good baseball from bad will be made. In tbe camp of tbe Brotherhood Jndge O'Brien's decision was received with every demonstration of joy. Telegrams of congratu lation are pouring in thick and fast. One from the defendant in the celebrated case. John M. Ward, read: "Let tbe wine go round. We are the people." Its reading by Pfeffer was re ceived with tumultuous cheering.

McKean. the Cleveland shortstop came into tbe city to-day after the League people were all away and had an interview with Al Johnson. Johnson per suaded him to announce that he would stick to the Brotherhood. As McKean has been ex pelled ftomtbe Brotherhood tbe complication will doubtless create some fun. McKean signed a contract with Johnson before tbe Plajers' club was incorporated, and because of tbat fact he was signed by tbe League people. McKean Las been worked upon by the Brotherhood agents for some days. Johnson also announced to-night tbat be will get Beatm back into his own team.

On tbe east side was a steep embankment and on the southwest a hill SO feet high. At 10:30 o'clock three holes were sunk, one on top, another in the middle and the third near the bottom ot the hill. They were charged with dynamite, and after the workmen had retired into the woods the caps were struck 3A terrific upheaval of rock and dirt en sued, and after the smoke cleared away the men returned to work, when it was discov ered that the top charge remained intact, the cap being imperfect. Two men were sent to dig up the blast, while the rest Btarted to load debris with a number of carts.

AN AWFUL SPECTACLE. For a minute tbe surroundings were en veloped in clouds of smoke and dirt, when an awful hpectacle stood revealed. From innum erable fissures issued men stained in blond and skrieking in agony some with eyes out, others with heads laid open to the skulls, while a few could be seen along the bank fastened by the debris stained red witb the blond of the ill-Iated workmen. The mules stampeded and added to the confusion, some going over the embank ment into the fields. Rescn en were at once set to work searching for the rem uns of those sup posed to be under tbe mass of debris, while messengers hurried to Shamokin and Elysburg for medical aid. All southbound trains were used to carry the wounded to Shamokin as fast as tbey could be found, a number of the terror stricken, injured men taking to the woods. They were helpless as infants, and. not being able to talk, could do nothing but moan and cry. At 7 o'clock this evening two Finlanders were dug from the debris, each having smothered to death.

Buckeye Democrats Will Not Stand Upon Useless Geremony. SUMMARY CONTEST PROCEEDINGS. The Evidence is Hot to be Presented in the Open Senate. AN APPEAL TO THE SUPREME COURT Will bs the Flan Adopted by ihe Republicans to Defeat This Purpose. Marquis, the Democrat who is contesting the office of Lieutenant-Governor of Ohio, held by Lampson, Republican, is to be seated at once by his party friends in the State Senate. The Republicans object to the methods adopted and will carry the case to the Supreme Court, which is Republican. TePZCIAI' TELEOIU.1I TO TBS DISPATCH. 1 Columbus, Jannary 28. The indications are that the Marquis-Lampson contest for the Lieutenant Governorship will be taken to the Supreme Court for final decision. The proceedings in the case to-day indicate plainly to Mr. Lampson and the Repub licans that they are to have no part in the contest so far as presenting evidence is con cerned, bnt the majority will go through the formality of looking over the testimony, such of it as suits their convenience, and then will offer a resolution for the ousting ot Lampson on general principles. Yesterday the matter was referred to the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec tions to report to the Senate, and the com mittee held a meeting to-day to commence work. Judge Nash, for Lampson, presented a protest against the committee taking any testimony and summarizing the same in ac cordance with the Senate resolution. He informed them the Senate alone could pass upon the admissibility or inadmissibility of testimony and tbat his client would present no testimony before tbe committee, but was willing to do so in open Senate. ONLY ONE SIDE 'WANTED. After Jndge Nash had withdrawn, the committee appointed a sub-committee, con sisting of Senators Shaw, Corcoran, and Massie, to summarize the testimony and submit the same to the full committee to morrow morning. The high-handed charac ter of the outrage is apparent wben it is known tbat Lieutenant Governor Lampson and bis attorneys here been encaged in the work of securing depositions and evidence, none of which is before the committee, ex cept in the form of pleadings, and it the majority proceeds in the course which tbey have started, there will be none of this evi dence considered. Ei-Congressman Converse, who is the lead ing counsel lor Marquis, told The Dis patch representative thisevening there was no necessity of making a long siege of the work, as they proposed to dispose of Lamp son quickly, though they wished to go through the formalitv of pleasing the con sciences ni the members who would have to vote for tbe resolution to unseat him which will likely be reported, by the committee to morrow, or the next day at the farthest. SOME WEAK-KNEED MEMBERS. Mr. Converse complains that one of the diseases of Democratic members is weakness of knees, and they were having some little trouble in strengthening the consciences of certain ones, but thought they would be equal to the emergency. Mr. Converse states that the attorneys lor Marquis have gone over the evidence so far as it has been presented and will give a summary of the same to the sub-committee,so they will have little trouble in coming to a conclusion. The Republicans claim that the Senate is the only body which can hear and pass upon the testimony, this being the only course which has any precedent, and they will ignore tbe work of tbe committee and any action the Senate may take on the same. WILIi GO INTO CODET. It is now the purpose of the Republicans to at once get out quo warranto proceedings compelling Marquis to show by what right he holds the office in case he is seated by the Democrats in the manner which they have outlined by the appointment of the com mittee. The Democrats betray a nervousness over the Supreme Court feature of the case, and it is barely possible they may modily their tactics by to-morrow morning, when the re port of the committee is to be submitted to the Senate.

Tbe catarrhal secretion that dropped from his bead into his throat was so tenacious and hard to raise tbat in the morning it wonld often gag bim and cause him to feel sick at bis stomach.
