MLazfcjcffaatxdghsfBAfcitiv & it FOR TriEOLD LEAGUE Jake Beckley Will Beport to flecker for Duty. MB. SODEN A LITTLE MAD. Charley Foley Writes an Interesting Baseball Letter. THE SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY Manager Hecker returned home and re ceived a telegram and letter from Beckley statin that the latter means to play with j the old club. Manager Hecker talks hope fully about his team. President Soden, of Boston, comolains about President Brush and the Indianapolis club. Charier Foley writes some interesting news about baseball affairs at Boston. "Whatever doubts there may have been about Beckley's intentions are now dis pelled. Manager Hecker returned from Oil City last evening, and brought with him a telegram and a letter from the big first baseman. The latter is at Hot Springs, and the letter and telegram were dated there. In the telegram Beckley stated that he will report at Pittsburg on March 20. The letter was more definite. In it the writer went on to state that he is getting into excel lent condition, and will be thoroughly in line at Pittsburg on March SO. He also goes on to say that Staley has been doing well at the springs, and left for tno East on tbe Gill inst. HECKER "WAS DELIGIITXD. It is needless to say that Manager Hecker was in great glee to receive Beckley's assuring words about bis coining here. Before the telegram and letter arrived there were, indeed, grave doubts among local National League admirers as to what Beckley intended to do. "W'itLout doubt Jake is almost the greatest attraction In tbe team, and he assuredly is a great ball plaj cr. I feel much relieved now," said Mr. Hecker, last evening, for it would have discouraged me had Beckley deserted us. I estimate him as a great ball player, and so does everybody in the business. Laroque will probably arrive in the city to-morrow as I have a telegram from him stating that ho would leave home for Pittsburg at once. Now that it bas been decided to open our championship season April 26 we have some dates to spare and I have arranged to take the team to Harrisbure on April 21 and 22. I have also engaged the Bradford team to come here on April 14 and 15. Altogether I think we'll have a good exhibition series. SOME TROMISIXG PITCHERS. Manager Hecker, after making strict In quiries about the j oang pitchers signed. Is of opinion that at least two or three of them will be good men. He said: "Sowders assures me that Wilson wiil be all right and Sunday is con fident about Bchmitt dong well, f have no fear of Daniels, because I know him and have seen him perform. He will make a great pitcher or else I will bo sadly mistaken. We will have a strong team and I say tbis with all confidence and m the best of faith." The local delegates to the Cleveland meeting, which begins to-morrow, will leave this even ing. Besides Missrs. Hanlon, McCallin and Lemon, it is likelv that Secretary Tener will go to the Forest City. They are all confident of success and not one of them has the slightest anticipation of any trouble or heated con troversy. Regarding the latest reported flon of Mc Kean none of the local Brotherhood members had anything particular to say about it. They are not concerned in anything McKean may do and from the first have not regarded him as a worthy member ot any organization. His late visit here almost killed the little confi dence that was still placed In him. Duiing that visit he not only fooled ball players, but the public generally. FOLEY'S BOSTON LETTEB. He Criticise! Bruncll for Sicnimr Pickett A Fen- Words About the rimers' Lcacue Umpires Tho Old Lentuo May Still Hnvo Eight Clobn Only. rCOEHESPOXnESCX OP TnE DISPATCIt.3 Boston. March 8. To be or not to be ten elubsin the League? If the League doesnt fix it up so as that it will be an eight-club circuit, then 1 shall be greatly mistaken. "No freezing out!" cries the League magnate; "if Indianap olis and Washington don't sell out. we will have to make it a ten-club League." Brush, of In dianapolis, w ill not budge an inch, but I guess a good stake would make him weaken, so that some of his stars can be transferred to New York, where it is necessary to have a club able to cope with Brooklyn and the strong Brother hood team. Brush says that John B. Day should have hustled for players and win them back, like himself; bnt Mr. Brush should bear in mind that his bob-tail Hoosicr aggregation were not the recipients of any princely salaries; that he (Day) was in big luck to even get Murphy. Welch and Ticrnan back into the fold. Welch and Tiernan held off for a long time, and both men could have been secured by the Brotherhood if com enough was gn en up. No club in the country can boast of so many well-to-do players as the team that represented New York In tbe League last season: for that reason the men are very independent and ready to take chances with the Brotherhood. George Gore is theonlyman on the whole team who is not the possessor of a good fat bank ac count. So Tonv Mullane nsed to be a great favorite with the fair sex of Tittsburg and Allegheny ? Perhaps it tome yonng ladj should try to sign Tony tor a matrimonial contract, they might find that he was fond of jumping contracts. Tony hails from Erie, and I suppose that makes him popular throughout the great State of Pennsylvania. Baseball news in this bnrg is very scarce at present, although there was a heap of excite ment here when it was known that John B Day was going to offer "Buck" Ewing a small fortune to desert the Brotherhood. "Loval Buck" tbey call him, but just the same Al Johnson watched "Buck" prettv close when he found John B. Dav was in Cincinnati. E. in isall richt: if hemade un hismmrf tn nun Johnson or anybody else could not have stopped him from playing with Daj. The whole amount of it is this: Ewlngjust thinks that there it big money in a Brotherhood club in New York, and as he is the possessor of $12,0J0 or $14,000 he can afford to try his luck as a manager and stockholder. I wonder if Buck will do as much kicking as he did last j ear? If he does, some of the umpires will ha e a pretty tough time of it THE XEW UMPIRES. I was surprised to see the name of Ross Barnes on the list of umpires, for 1 had an idea tbat he was a prosperous business man and a member of the Chicago Board of Trade. Conld it be that Boss was swamped in one of "Old Hutch's" wheat deals? Gunning, one of the urrpires appointed, is living in Fall River and studies medicine during his leisure hours. Gunning is a nice fellow and will makca first-class umpire. Jim Manning Is also living in Fall River, and works in a drug Etore. Manning doesn't want to desert Kansas City; 1 e says he is a Brother hood man through and through, but in case he deserts Kansas City, lie must deoend upon tbe Brotherhood for a living; so you can see that with all his admiration for 'ard and the rest f the bojs, be doesn't think it is any sure thing that the Plavers' League is going to be k "dead sure go." 1 think Manning is right, for the Brotherhood only guarantees a job for one season; then a man can be fired overboard, and where is he going to go? How about the poor fellows who should happen to injure their arm6? The Brotherhood will carry co dead timber, and it is not likely that the League will forgive any of the men if the Brotherhood has no use for them. The worst play of the season was made by Bruuell when he signed Pickett for the Play ers' team of Philadelphia. Pickett had signed a Kansas City contract, and Brunell knew it, but he gives as an excuse tnat Pickett signed to play in the American Association. What cheap talk! Why, it was last November that Kansas City left the American Asso ciation, and why didn't Pickett protest against playing with Kansas City in a minor league-when he was well aware that Kansas City had entered the Western Association? President Speas, of Kansas City, bought this man Pickett from bt. Paul last season for $3,500. and paid him at the rate of $2,500 a year which was a big increase on his St. Paul salary' Not only that, but .nskett had a lame leg and arm, and was almost useless, bnt be drew his salary in full, when he scarcely earned his boarcL- Pickett must be a dummy. Had he iruhed to go to the Association or the League, Speas could have sold his release, and Pickett could come in for a little bit of the purchase money. Butwhatabull headed blunder Her man Long made. He was sold to Boston by Speas for 0,500. and after signing a Boston con tract, he went to Speas and asked for some of the purchase money. Even then he conld have scared Speas and tho Boston club had he threatened to jump to the Brotnerhood. Long could have refused to go to Boston, and, having Speas uhere the wool was short, be could have "pulled his leg" for 1,000 of the purchase money. The Philadelphia club say they were notaware of Pickett's having signed wiiu jvan eas City, bnt 1 saw by the papers where he was going boutn with them. ODDS ASD ENDS. It is now reported that Dnryea is not anxious to get back to Cincinnati. Another large country jay that doesn't Know his own mind or whether he is married. Duryea says ho isn't married, and other people say he is. Yonng Madden, who is on tho Brotherhood list of 6lgned players, has not signed with any body. He is now tobogganing at his home in Portland, Me. The many friends of Thomas Bond, of this city, were highly disappointed when his name did not appear on tbe list, of Plajers' League umpires. Bond is a much better man than some of theanpointed parties. The playersof the Boston League clnb will report in this city on tbe day after St. Patrick's Day in tbe morning. All the Irish members, including Patrician Donovan, will have their heads measured to see if they bad been cele brating. John Clarkson, the emperor of all pitchers, has his hands full f business. In addition to training tbe Harvard team, he also devotes many hours to teaching the art ot pitching to several wealthy members of the Boston Ath letic Club. If Clarkson fell Into a beer vat, he wouldn't "get soaked;" he has too much bloom ing luck, you knowl Cuaki.es J. Foley. SODEN IS MAD, Tho Boston SInpnnto Complains Abont the Obsliimcy of Brush. rSrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.l Boston, March S). President Soden, of the Boston Club, came back from the League meet ing in Cleveland completely used up and mad as a hornet. He was on the Schedule Com mittee, and that was bad enough, but in addi tion to that he was one of those appointed to libor with President Brush, of tho Indianap olis Club, with a viow to inducing him to with draw gracelully from the National League. It didn't work, however, aird Mr. boden returned home thoroughly disgusted. When asked if he was satisfied with the work ot his Schedule Committee be replied: "Well, I should say not. But what could we do otherwise? Brush was bouna to stick, and we were forced to go ahead on the scale of a ton clnb circuit. To be sure, under the busi ness agreement between the club members we could have dropped him with or without his consent, but we did not want to proceed in that way. for Brush is a good fellow and has done well for the League and we wanted him to be satisfied with whatever was done. Wo conlnn't move him, however. Al Spanldiug, Mr. Robinson and I were appointed a commit tee to try and make terms with him and we labored with him for a good many hours. His position was that he bad got nothing to sell to the League, that he wanted to stay in the or ganization and that was all he bad to say, and it was all we conld get out of him. We could not get him to make an offe We made him several offers on behalf of the League, but he refused them all on the ground that he had nothing to sell. One of onr committee asked him if ho would take 75.000 for his franchise, and he replied. '5o, nor $100,000. for I have got no franchise to sell.' We hadintbemeantime made out a ten-club schedule and, linding that Brush was immovable, we adopted it and went home." AMIOTJS ABUTjr DURYEA. John Ward Makes Prompt Inquiries About tbe CIncinniti Contrnct Jumper. St. Louis, March 9. The news that "Cyclone" Dnryea had jumped the Brooklyn Brotherhood Club and signed with the Cin cinnati League cansed considerable excitement in hase ball circles here yesterday. The news of Durvea's desertion must have reached the Brooklyn Brotherhood Club while they were en route to Mobile as early yesterday morning Al .Spink received the following telegram from Floniaton, Ala..

Mr. Spink went to the Southern Hotel and inquired for Duryea. Clerk Harper, who is an intimate friend of Duryea, told Mr. Spink that that plaerhad paid bis hotel bill, and left the hotel with his baggage at b:15 that morning. Before leaving Duryea stated that he was go ing to Dubuque, the home of Tom Loftus. the manager ot tbe Cincinnati League Club. It is behevea that he has gone there at the sugges tion of Stern, tho President of the Cincinnati Club. Mr. Spink telegraphed these particulars as requested to John M. Ward, at Mobile. lVILIi GO EAST AGAIK. Pittsbars Phil Talks Abont the American Turf nnd Unce Horses. George Smith, well known as 'Pittsburg Phil." will leave for the East to-morrow to re sume business at the winter races at Clifton and Guttenhurg. During a conversation last evening he said he had not paid much at tention to the 3-year-olds of this season. He, however, has a great fancy for Judge Morrow, and thinks that the horse named will do great work this j ear. "But," he said, "there are so manv young horses in this country now that it is difficult to know what tbey are all doing. There are more racehor-es in Ameiica to-day than there ever was In the history of the country." It Looks LlUe Eight. The general opinion throughout the National League cities is that tbe League will start its season with only eight clubs. President Young has the power to call a meeting at anv time, as tbe recent meeting was simply adjourned. League partisans, who claim to be on tbe in side track, state that it is dollars to dimes that a meeting will be called between now and April 26, and that two of tbe ten clubs will re tire, or be forced out. Tho sooner the change is mado the better for the League. A BIc Price for El Rio Key. Chicago, March 9. Negotiations are re ported to be m progress between Theodore Winters, the owner of last season's unbeaten 2-vear-old, El Rio Rey. and a syndicate of Chi cagoans, w ho desire to race the champion horse under Chicago colors.

And President Hnden is now Kicking abont the results of the Cleveland meeting. A bomb will explode one of the-e dajs. Oxe of these days wo will be officially told that everything was not as harmonious among the League magnates last week as reported. It is now generally considered that Secretary Brunell made a mistake in officially appealing for the recognition of the National League. Not long ago the National League organ re marked that neither tho Brotherhood nor the National League should have anything to do with ilcKean. C. G. Psotta will again try to bring th e ama teur chamnionship of thennrld to tho United States. He will leave for England about May 1, and take part in the Henley regatta.

Judge Bacon was asked by a reporter Sat uraay what be thought of the New York League Club's latest move in serving notifica tions ou several Players' League magnatestbat they would be held responsible if Ewmg Keefe ct al, vioUted their contracts. "All I know about the matter," said the Judge, "is what I have read in the newspapers. No official no tification has been received by Colonel McAl pm. one of the gentlemen mentioned. I am cer tain.

An effort will be made to secure a vote on the Blair bill in the Senate this week. It is expected that the bill making States out of Idaho and "Wyoming will pass the House. "Washington, March 9. The uncer tainty surrounding the disposition of the questions raised by the recent consideration of executive session matters makes it im possible to forecast with any degree of accuracy the work of the Senate for this week. Senator Dolph's committee will to morrow resume tbe interrogation under oath of members of the Senate respecting their connection with "leaks" in the past, and the report of their discoveries may precipi tate another discussion similar to that of last week. So much of the time of the Senate was taken up with the discussion that the Blair educational aid bill was not disposed of, and it still heads the calendar as unfinished business. A VOTE WANTED. A very general feeling exists in favor of closing this debate this week and to take a vote on the bill, if possible. Mr. Evarts will close the debate in support of the meas ure. The report of the Committee on Priv ileges and Elections on the Montana case is likely to be made this week, hut the debate that must ensue will not begin until the Blair bill is out of the war. The urgent deficiency appropriation bill will be reported from tbe Committee ou Appropriations this week. Senator Sanford will offer a resolution to morrow instructing the Finance Committee to investigate and report upon the ex pediency and desirability of the Government loaning money upon real estate mortgage at a nominal rate of interest, 1 or 2 per cent per annum, retaining the right to call in a certain proportion of the loans when oc casion demands. In the morning hours the Oklahoma town site bill may be considered, and further progress made in the execution of the order to dispose of public building and bridge bills on the calendar. MORE STATES TO BE MADE. The work of the House this week will probably be to add new stars to the national flag. The District of Colnmbia Committee will occupy to-morrow in the disposition of measures relating to local affairs, and after that the Oklahoma bill will be taken up and passed upon finally as far as the House is concerned. Then, according to notice al ready given, the Territorrie3 Committee will present for the consideration of the House the bill to admit Wyoming as a State of tbe Union, and thin will be followed by the Idaho bill, if any time remains. The Committee on Elections desires to call up the contested election case of Jludd versus Compton, from Maryland, but will only do so, according to present arrange ment, if it can be done without interfering with the Statehood bills already mentioned.

Hammond, the man who knows more than anybody else about the famous London scandals, is being cut off in his supply of blood money, and he objects. He said yes terday that unless cert-iin people prominent in London kept faith with him and cabled money to him by Tuesday of this week he would say something that would place them in very tad light. The words of Hammond were as follows: The time for denials from one side and the other is past, and if Lord Euston and Mr. Hugh Weglen knew what was to their interest tbey would communicate immediately by cable to a person known to them by initial "C," and whose present residence Is 2232J Front street. Seattle. Hugh Weglen is the son of a man who occupies an exceptional position in the financial world of the British capital. It is observed lrom these remarks that Hammond wants money, and also thit what ever he may have said heretofore about his not being tbe man who kept the house on Cleveland street, was untrue. He has torn off ail semblance of silence and now promises to reveal the names of men high in life. Seattle is undoubtedly the most interesting place in the United States just now to cer tain men on Downing street, London, and the end is not yet. CANADA WANTS TO BUY IRON.

ISPECIAI. TELEOBAM TO THK DISPATCH.! Montreal, March 9. The suit of Thomas P. SVaterhouse against Lillian Eacott began in the Superior Court on Monday. "Waterhouse, in his declaration, alleges tbat be came from England, where his family hold a high commercial position, last May. On an excursion steamer last July he met Miss Eicott, and continued her acquaintance until October, when she asked hira to marry her. He refused. Then she threatened to force him, but still he refused. She sent Rev. Mr. Dixon to him, but still he refused. Finally she went to the Society for the Protection of "Women and Children, who also tried to induce him to marry her. He rerused. The society's lawyers wrote to him and threatened arrest if he did not marry her. Finally he was arrested on a capias for S500 damages to Miss Eacott, and while in jail was visited by Mr. Marshall, Secretary of the Society for the Protection of "Women and Children. He first refused, but eventu ally, when told that as he had no money to pay the 500 and no money to obtain bail, he'would he obliged to remain in jail for an indefinite period, he consented to marry the girl. He was then released and was es corted to a jeweler's store to buy a wedding ring with the money advanced him by one ot the lawyers, and then to a notary'svhere a marriage license and a marriage contract, settling on the girl $10,000, was made out. Finally he was taken to the Key. Mr. Dixon's house, where he was married to her. He now wishes to be freed -from his partner, whom he says he never intended to marry, and never would have married had he had another alternative than marriage or jail for many years. The girl, he says, is a servant, and her social standing is not what'he has a right to expect in his wife. He therefore prays to have the marriage annulled. On the side of Miss Eacott it is alleged that the yonng man haa aDsolute liberty, that he was shown what the result of his refusal to marry her would be, and he then volun tarily married her. W0ESB THAN A RUSSIAN PRISON. FrlEhlfiil State of AlT.iiri Unearthed tit tho Ennnns City Workbonie. Kansas City, March 9. The charges made by Alderman Ford concerning the frightful condition of the prisoners confined in the workhouse are found to be true. Two reporters investigated the matter yesterday afternoon and find that about 75 male pris oners are crowded into narrow and filthy cells reeking with vermin and not provided with sanitary regulations. The men are constantly manacled with shackles weighing from 5 to 13 pounds, and are therefore pre vented from bathing. Two of the prisoners said they" had not taken a bath for two months. Many of the cells are five feet long, and in some of them are confined men six feet tall. For these 75 prisoners are two guards. The guards say that on account of the desperate character of the men, it is necessary to shackle them to prevent their escape so long as they alone have to guard them and they remain in their present quarters. The building is of wood, and the partitions are thin. The committee appointed to investigate the mattfir will report at to-morrow night's Council meeting. It is thought likely that a new brick prison will be erected, provided with proper sanitary regulations a a suffi cient number of guards to watch the prison era to do away with the shackles, FEATURE OF THE FAIR.

Incidentally tbe church fair was mentioned and the Bishop said that he would send a contribution that would prove an attractive feature. True to his word, the Bishop immediately after bis arrival home sent a special messen ger among the Indians with instructions to purchase the fleetest and most beautiful pony he could find. The messenger selected the finest specimen obtainable, and it was shipped from Fort Smith direct, a distance of 1,600 miles, arriving here in first-class condition. WANAMAKER'S BIBLE CLASS.

Of course I regard it as possible for an author to acquire an independent income from authorship. If he were to confine himself entirely to books, 1 should say that it would still be possible, though he might starve before this result were reached, if he depended wholly ou his copyrights.

HUSBANDS TO ORDER. How a Philadelphia Man lias Ob tained the Novel Title of tlie WALKING MATRIMONIAL AGENT. Bringing Abont a Courtship in a Business Like Manner. MAKKIAGE MADE EASY FOE A SMALL FEE An Applicant Who Was Not Particular Enonjh in His Demands. An enterprising Philadelphian is doing a great business in the matrimonial agency line. His success has brought out com petitors. His methods are interesting and his profits large. Philadelphia, March 9. By his zeal in furnishing husbands to women eager to be married S. Bindskopf, of 736 Callowhill street, has earned for himself the title of "the walking matrimonial agent." Bindskopf was formerly engaged in run ning an up-town employment office, but has lately extended his field of action. About a year ago he entered into the novel busi ness of making two hearts beat as one. It is not a labor of love. Mr. Bindskopf is too poor to be a philanthropist. He is poor in finances and broken down in health. He is a crippled old man, bent with age, and de pends largely on a stout cane for locomotion. He charges a uniform rate of $10 to both tbe young man and woman whom he brings to gether with tbe ultimate object of matri mony. The money is to be paid only on the day the nuptial knot is tied. So successful has he been from a financial point of view that a number of followers are pushing him. The most aggressive is a voluble-speakingPolewhocalls himself Jack Malinski. Bindskopf justly lays claim to the fact that he is the originator of the plan. He therefore thinks all who want to become Benedicts should in all manner of fairness patronize him. Malinski, unlike Bindskopf, asks no fixed amount for his services. He is content with anything from $5 upwards. a pretty good business. The two agents operate mainly among the Bnsso-Hebrew popnlation. It is a very dull week when they are unable to arrange three or four matrimonial alliances. The man enjoying the largest acquaintanceship nat urally is the most successlul in the proles sion. Bindskopf, by his long residence in the city and the active manner in which he takes part in the doings and sayings of his co-religionists, is peculiarly well fitted for the task which he has adopted as a ngular business and which is original with him. Mr. Bindskopf makes a careful investiga tion of the antecedents and habits and the amount of money earned by a male appli cant desiring to enter into the holy bonds of matrimony before he will put the person's name in his blue book of availables. If tbe applicant be a female he nil! make in quiry among the neighbors to see if she has any laults or a bad temper, or anything else tbat will put a damper on connnbial bliss. It is only alter satisfying himself that the candidates for matrimony fully come up to his standard that he will consent to mate them. They are not required to make any deposit. If a man does not admire the woman whom he is sent to interview, or vice versa, as the case may be, the party is iurnished with as many others until he can be suited. not paeticulak enough. One of the applicants, a middle-aged, dyspeptic-looking man, caused Mr. Bindskopf to go into a towering rage the other day. After the preliminaries had been ar ranged, the visitor said: "I don't care what kind of a looking woman sha is. She don't h3ve to be good looking or intelligent. I don't care if she is tall and thin or short and stout." "You are nn adventurer," cried Mr. Bindskopf. "Just you get out of my office, and quick, too." Tbe man anxions to be married told Mr. Bindskopf to calm himself. He was a resi dent of a far Western town, and he exhib ited letters attesting his good Qualities. The communications set forth that the man was reliable, didn't use intoxicants or tobacco, and would make a good husband. Mr. Bindskopf read tbe letters closely, and, after satisfying himself that they were gen uine, said: "My friend, these are pretty straight, but my suspicions are aroused because yon don't care what kind of a looking woman your iuture wife is going to be. So get." "You didn't give me time to answer," re plied the stranger. "Go on," said Mr. Bindskopf impatiently. "As I said before I don't care what kind of a looking girl you take me to." He paused and continued very dramati cally: "But she must have money." "How much?" "Not less than $500; I want to go in busi ness for myself." The fellow was introduced to a servant who exhibited $800 to her credit in a well known savings bank deposit book. The courtship will be short, sharp and decisive. WANT AMERICAN WIVES. Another peculiarity ot his applicants are thfe young men who, until two or three years ago, lived in Bubsia. They invariably insist that their Iuture wives must be Amer ican girls. Now, it is very difficult for Mr. Bindskopf to accommodate' them. An American girl naturally prefers an Amer ican lover. Bnt through a clever idea of the walking matrimonial agent he has suc ceeded in winning over 10 or 12 girls who first saw the light in the laud of the free. His idea is to win them over by dazzling their eyes with diamond jewelry. Although there are tome exceedingly pretty German girls and other nationalities on the books, the foreigners aim to wed an American girl, and when such a wedding takes place tbe groom thinks himself fort unate indeed. The average female is harder to please than her brother. One young man she will discard because he is chunky, another is slim, while the next is boyish looking. Another doesn't earn sufficient wage, and soon. The jewelry act (copied from the opera of "Faust") is brought into requisi tion and seldom without effect, and the prospective bride graceluliy bows to the in evitable. SECRECY A FEATURE. "When the wedding takes place the agent, whoever he may be, takes a part second only to that of the minister. He takes great plcisure in announcing to the euests, especially to those who do not know him or iiis business, that it was he who brought about the wedding. In this manner his name and vocation spread. The matcnes made by him have been very successful. Both Mr. Bindskopf and Mr. Malinski point with pride to the good re sults of their work thus far, but they regard with the utmost secrecy the residences of the couples who owe their present marriage to their efforts.

An Amnlonmnted Man Snyn There Will be Trouble nt the Convention. In regard to the trouble between the roll ers and heaters and the ronghers and catch ers in iron millt. an account of which was published in Tne Dispatch last Thurs day, a rougher has sent the following com munication to this office. He says: "It appears that there is a committee ot a roller and a beater appointed to canvass the mills. Tbis is as much as to say that none but heaters and rollers shall go to the fif teenth annual convention. It the conven tion next June will be composed of heaters ann rollers what are you going to do with the poor puddler? Leave him ont in the cold or in the hot sun? This matter will then come to a test and a fight to a finish. If the roller does not consent to duff up with the man that does all his work while he finds a comfortable place to rest himself, the secrets will be given away. The ironmaster will get more facts and points than he ever dreamed of. Tf they want to bar us, ought we, the roughers, stay away from the convention and be de nied the right to defend ourselves? "We will do it in spite of them. What the roughers want to do is to make the trouble general. We would then have the rules amended so that in all mills from a 6-inch mill to a 136 inch mill, all roughers, rollers and catchers to be hired and paid separately by the firm. Let the roller and heater look after their owa.prices and do their own work. TO STRIKE AT RAIXEI'S. The Cokrrs Working nt His mines May Come Oat This Ween.

Arrangements have been quietly made whereby nearly all the men em ployed by Rninoy will be given work, and those lor whom employment cannot be secured will be provided for by this division.

One of the Dignified Plnjera Knocked Down by n Chair, irnojr A staff conr.ESPOXDEST.i Washington, March 9.-4. few nights ago, at a well-known clubhouse, there as a little Senatorial poker party. A Senator of national reputation (what Senator is not?) was the dealer. with a big "jack pot" on the green baize. All "passed" except the dealer, who ''opened" tbe pot. Another Senator said it was "funny the Sena tor dealing could always open a pot on his own deal." That Senator demanded to know if the other Senator meant an imputation upon nis nonesty. Tbe other Senator said he wouldn't say any thing more if tbe dealer wonld put into the pack the cards he had hidden down on the seat of bis chair. The dealing Senator thereupon sprang to his feet, nicked up his chair, whirled It over his head, and struck the other Senator a blow which brought him tu the ground, but behold! as he did so, two cards fell from the seat of his chair to the floor.
