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.

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."

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

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.

Oxe of these days wo will be officially told

marked that neither tho Brotherhood nor the

An effort will be made to secure a vote on

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.

And If He Don't Get it Pretty Soon He Will
Talk.
Seatte, "WAsn., March 9. Charles K.
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.

Wants n Divorce From His

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,

A Catholic Bishop Sends n Fine Indian Pony
to Baltimore.
:srCIAI. TBLKOUAM TO THE DISPATCB.1
Baltimore, March 9. A full-blooded
Indian pony has arrived here from Fort
Smith, Ark., a present Irom Bishop Fitz
gerald, of Little Bock, to the Star of the
Sea Catholic Church. It is to be disposed
of at a fair to be given for the benefit of the
church. "When the Bishop was here to at
tend the Catholic conference he was the
guest of Father McCoy, the pastor of the
church. 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

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.

In regard to the recent trouble in the coke

last night from Scottdale:
From what can be learned at Knights of

Rainey will either have to sign the existing
agreement this week or his works will be closed
down by the men. The division officers claim
that the men at Bainoy's works are almost
completely organized, and that the men at
Paul I and Fort Hill have been ready to come
ont for several days. 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. The Knights
of Libor leaders say that Mr. Rainey has had
ample time to sign the agreement, and they are
now determined he must sign it or his works
will lay ide.
BDIING IRON FOUNDRIES NOW.

ISPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCn.l
Denver. March 9. The wealthy En
glish syndicate which are quietly buying
all the breweries, flouring mills, stock
yards, etc., et al., in the United States have
now turned their attention to the iron
foundries that manufacture mining machin
ery, having purchased the largest foundry
ot that character in the United States, that
of Fraser & Chalmers, of Chicago. An
agent of an English syndicate is iu Denver
for the purpose of gobbling up all the
foundries in this city. He is now negotiat
ing for an option on the four largest iron
works.
The agent of the syndicate is one Charles
Miller, who is authorized to ezpend $1,500,

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. This story Is
absolutely true.
