v-- THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1890. JhSf H t X ANOTHER BIG BOMB, The League Enters Suit Against Buck Ewing in THE UNITED STATES COUBT La Blanche Offers to Fight Dempsey Under Certain Conditions. THE SPOETIKG KEWS OP THE DAT The National League has sent out another bomb. Suit has been entered against Man ager Ewing in the United States Courts. John M. Ward expresses himself on the matter. La Blanche issnes a Tery strange challenge to Dempsey. Efforts are being made to arrange several prominent battles. fSPZCIAL TELZGKAM TO THE DISrATCH.l Hew 1'obk, February 2G. Papers were serTed on Captain "William Ewing. of the Hew York Brotherhood club, this afternoon to enjoin him from giving his services to any but the New Tort League Baseball Club. This suit is brought in the Federal courts, the League having failed in the State Supreme Court in the case against Ward. The papers are returnable March 7. The good-natured Captain was seen by & Dispatch reporter at iis home uptown and apprised of the fact. He simply laughed and said: "Another bluff. This is the last re sort ot the League people and it is only done to intimidate, as well as inconvenience ns. I don't pay any attention to such things." CAUSED LITTLE COMMOTIOS. In baseball circles the news caused some little commotion, but tho Brotheraooa people, encouraged by the decision of Judge O'Brien in Ward's case, were sanguine of the results In the pending suit of Ewing. Ward jnst arrived home from Cuba to-night, and was anything but conversant on the baseball status. Sow. ever, when he heard of the injunction to be brought acamst Ewing he straightway un folded himself. "Sow, what do you think of that," said he; "but it is nothing more tnan 1 anticipated, and only a fulfillment of the declaration made by A. G. Ovens a month ago, that the prominent players of the Brotherhood would be subjected to suits to enjoin them from playing ball out Elde of the League. I think IT IS A SLTJR upon the Supreme Court of New York State, and furthermore, I don't think any higher court will reverse the decision as handed down by Judge O'Brien in my case." "What reasons do you think made the League people bring this suit?" asked The Dispatch writer. "There are two," said Mr. Ward. "First, that they have been practically beaten in the lower court; the case being too absurd on the face of it. Second, they wish to give their actions semblance of a bona fide suit. This is their final bomb, after having tried every measure to break the Brotherhood ranks, but you will find it resulting in disaster to them. They have been baffled at every move and now their "caper is to give us nothing but vexatious litigation by bringing these childish suits against our players. It's simply disgust ing to witness such proceedings on the part of these bribers and any fair minded man must necessarily see it. THET AEE BEATEN. "They are beateniandthey know it,and what's the use of my reiterating what I have so many times stated before." -v Danny Richardson was present when Ward raade this talk, and he voiced every sentiment of the famous shortstop. The injunction Is a preliminary one, which the League people brought against Ward and which, at the time, they thought was a mistake, a permanent one being desired. Ewing, Connor, Kelly, Richard son. Gore, O'Rourke were all in consultation yesterday and each declared their loyalty to the Brotherhood. LEAGUE CLUB COSIEACTS.

Referring to the application yesterday Sec retary Barr. of the County League, said: "The Grays will be a good team for onr league, but I cannot say whether or not they will be ad mitted. It now seems certain that neither BraddocknorOakland will remain In the league and we will need two clubs in their places. Greensburg and Beaver would be excellent substitutes, but they would extend the circuit larger than perhaps would be desirable. How ever, it may be that both tbe Grays and Greens burgs will be admitted. Younffstovrn In Line. rsrrcui. telegram to the dispatch.! YouKfiSTOWS, O., February 26.

Let Dempsey or his backers put up $5,000 in some secure hands pending the fight, and it he defeats me 1 takedown the $5.000 and Demp sey walks into my saloon as sole proprietor.

Cal McCarthy, the great little feather weight champion, has entirely recovered from the effects of his battle with George Dixon, the colored Bostonian, and his wrist, which he sprained during the fight, is entirely well.

He has effected arrangements for Cal's appearance next week at tbe Gaiety theater in Brooklyn, where he will spar three rounds at every performance with Chappie Moran, tbe English bantam, who was defeated by the Hailem Spider, Tommy Kelly, some time ago. When President Soden, of the Boston League clnb, was asked it he had heard any thing about the proposition to buy out the Na tional League clubs for 1,000.000, he replied that all he knew about it was what he had seen in the papers. He ridiculed the idea that tbe ten League clubs would sell out for any such sum. He aid not believe the offer, if made at all, was made in good faith, and if it was it was an ad vertising dodge. Not a League club wonld seri ously consider such a proposition, he said, for a moment. "If anyone should offer the Boston League club 51,000,000 for its property alone it might be considered perhaps, and under the circumstances of the present year we wonld not consider a sum any less than that," were the parting words ot the Boston President.

Speakers at the State Dairymen's Convention severely denounced "filled"cheese and oleomargarine. It is authoritatively denied that Edwin Gamble suicided on account of unrequited love. tSrECIAL TILEQKAJI TO THE DISFATOB.1 Scottdale, February 26. The kick in prices of theiron men and the consumers be ing stocked up and ordering sparingly it just beginning to tell on shipments from the Connellsville region, as they were re duced several hundred cars last week. Despite this fact the trade cannot be said to be in a much depressed condition, as over 6,000 cars ot coke is a good week's work, and the operators do not expect shipments to fall much below that. If all of the ovens of the Connellsville region, 14,500, were rnnnlng full, six days per week, it is said there would not be market for the output at any time save when a strike Is anticipated. Tbe coke trade will take a spurt in a few weeks, as the stock on hand is melting away and it will need replenishing. The shipments last week were hindered by tbe works of the H. C. Prick, Uverholt, Stauf f er and Kelster Coke Companies laying off ona day. About all the rest of the works operated in full There is a full supply of cars to afford transportation. The Western shipments have fallen off over 700 cars, but Pittsburg shipments give a slight increase. There is a fair demand for coke from the East, bnt shipments have suffered from the frequent blockades. Nearly all of the furnaces west of Pittsburg are now taking coke, but in small orders. WHEN BIO STAKES WEBB MADE. It is reliably stated that some of the opera tors have made contracts with furnace men be low 52. An operator said last night, speaking on coke: "From 1872 to 1S77 coke was selling at 85 cents per ton and there were only about 3,000 ovens in the coke region. In 1878 it went to 4 50 and remained there for abont six months. It was at that time that tbe McClure Company made their big stake. They made a contract witn the Cleveland iouing aim company to furnish them 8,000 cars of coke during tbe year at 3 75 per ton. Coke went down again the end ot the year, but the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company stuck to their contract and tbe Mc Cluro Coke Company must have cleared 50,000 on that deal. They purchased the Uazelwood Coke Works, near Mt. Pleasant, with the money. Frick lost considerable money at that time, as be bought up the coke of the small op erators by contracting with tbem for six months. He paid tbem $4 50 per ton and coke was away down again at the expiration of the six months."

Colored Citizens Will Send Delegates to See Governor Benver. Mr. James Delphy, ex-Secretary of the Cameron Club, when seen last night in reference to the proposed meeting of colored people in behalf of the condemned murderer, "William H. Smith, expressed himself as follows: A meeting will be held sometime this week. There will be a delegation chosen to visit Gov ernor Beaver and ask for a commutation of sentence. There is not, as lias been stated, a sentiment in sympathy with the murderer among the colored people. They rather have had no feel ing iu tbe matter at all, or what little they did hold was in favor of having punishment meted out to him. But of late the colored people of the city have begun to stir themselves, since they are beginning to feel that a want of sym pathy on all sides has been shown in this man's case, while in similar cases of convicted white people sym pathy has for some years back prevented a hanging. We all believe that Smith was guilty of the crime charged, and that he com mitted an atrocious act, and we believe that under the law he deserves the penalty. Bnt it is beginning to dawn on the minds of the colored people that it la queer to have the penalty enforced for the first time, after such a long period, on a poor black man. It seems that a poor man cannot obtain tbe same con sideration in court as a man of wealth, and the people of his race are aboot to try to raise by subscription enough to defray the expenses in the effort to secure his pardon. "Our people have no doubt that if a white man were in his place that snch an indifference would not be shown, bnt that bis sentence would be commuted." LIABILITIES OP $114,000.

HABD NUTS TO CRACK Questions the Tax Commission Finds It Difficult to Decide. GEORGE'S PRINCIPLES EXPLAINED A Woman Journalist Argues That Churches ' Should Kot be Exempt. WHEN CHAEITIES SHOULD BE TAXED. A Problem That rcrplnes the Auditor General and Other Speakers. At the final session of the State Tax Com mission in Philadelphia yesterday, discus sion was confined mainly to Henry George's theory and the question of taxing churches and charitable organizations. The next meeting will be in Harrisbnrg March 18. rsrxciju. tzi-xobjui to tux DisriTcrt.i Philadelehia, February 26. The Pennsylvania State Tax Commission, which was appointed to reduce the taxes and equal ize the revenue laws in this State, held the final sessions of its meeting in this city to-day at the Lafayette Hotel. The Chairman, Auditor General McOamant, announced that the commission held a meeting in this city in order to learn what the sentiments of the citizens were on the subject, aud to receive suggestions for remedying the evil of high taxes. To-day's sessions, therefore, were devoted entirely to the consideration of the various views presented by a nnmber of citizens. "When the meeting was called to order at 10:30 o'clock all the members of the com mission were present, wfllle the room was well filled with interested spectators. J. L. Shoemaker, representing the Henry George Clnb, who made an address at yesterday's meeting, first took the floor and made an other long speech advocating George's land tax theory. A POINT IN GEORGE'S THEOET. Representative "Wherry, of Cumberland county, wanted to know if the man who owned property improved to the extent of $100,000 had to pay the same tax. rate as the man upon whose property only $2,000 had been expended. "Yes," replied Mr. Shoe maker, "although our principle is that no man should be taxed. A citizen is taxed for a privilege, and as it is a privilege to own land to the exclusion ot others, he should only pay taxes for the absolute value of the land." Mrs. Elizabeth I. Bladen, a newspaper writer, said that she bad attended the meet ing to protest against the assessment of small properties to the excessive exemption from, taxation of the so-called charitable institu tions. "I do not mean the institutions," she said, "which really help the poor and amictea, out wisn to auacs me nospuais, churches and schools, which, although they come under the same head, are really pri vate institutions. A DrFPICTTLT QUESTION1. "Hospitals that charge their patients $25 a week and churches which collect $50,000 per annum from pew rents and still practically close their doors to strangers, are all exempted, while the coor man who is trying to buy his home is charged high rates of taxation. I beg you to remedy this wrong by placing upon churches and hospitals their share of taxation." "I know that all this is true in a certain sense," said Auditor General McCamant, "and has been worrying the Legislature for years. The numerous decisions of the Su preme Court niake it hard to tell where to draw the line." Joseph B. Townsend then made an elab orate argument in favor of exempting char itable and public institutions from taxa tion. In some cases, he said, exceptions should be made, although his views on the subject were directly iu opposition to those of Mrs. Bladen. Colonel John Taggart, who was the next speaker, indorsed Mrs. Bladen's views on the subject. He was fol lowed by Mrs. Tunie Symonds, of the "Working "Woman's Society, who also agreed with the sentiments expressed by Mrs. Bladen. THE TAX OIT CHAEITIES. Dr. James W. "Walk, of the Philadelphia Society for Organizing Charity, then made a briet address, in which he said that, while he thought there were some chanties which should be exempt, at -the same time there were many obsolete charities which ought to be taxed. At this point Mr. Shoemaker went into another lengthy explanation of the single tax system. The rest of themorn ing session was consumed In listening to Mr. Shoemaker's arguments. The afternoon session was convened at 3 .o'clock. Mr. Shoemaker finished his state ment, after which some miscellaneous busi ness was transacted. The Secretary was re quested to invite D. M. Anderson, of the "United Labor League, to present an argu ment upon the subject of taxation at the next meeting, and also to procure copies of Prof. Patton's essay upon the "License" scheme, which was published by the "SVjhar ton School of the University. The commis sion then adjourned, to meet in mmsburg on the 18th of next March. THE WEATHER.
