THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1890. ilfiACT JUMPERS anager Hanlon. Says That Law Cannot Beach Them. HE HAS LEGAL ADYIGE. Players of the Old League Club Ready for Active Work. THE SPORTIKG KEWS OF THE DAI Manager Hadlon states that leading law yers claim that contract jumpers cannot be legally held. The young players of the old local club are ready for work. An interesting amateur foot race arranged. A local spar ring contest for points is being arranged. Jake Beckley's latest jump, an account of which was given in yesterday's DISPATCH, is likely to cause a lively legal conflict. There are some very interesting features connected withlhis probability, as the fol lowing statement of Manager Hanlon will show. The writer asked Mr. Hanlon last evening what would be done it the old League club entered suit against Beckley. Mr. nan Ion replied: It will be useless for the old clnb directors to co into court against Beckley or anybody else. We have bad the legal phase of this mat ter thoroughly examined by no less authorities than Judges Bacon and Howland. Mr. Ward and myself sought the opinion of these emi nent authorities regarding contract jumpers, and they told us that we could do nothing witn them. A LAttTEB'S ADVICE. "I mentioned the case of Miller, who had re ceived J100 from us, and they advised me to take the money bark if it was offered. From what another attorney says I don't think that the old clnb can legally force Beckley to return the $500 advanced. I will notify Secretary Scandrett to-morrow that he can have the 500 advanced to Beckley anytime he desires it. Of course he may not accept of it, but he will be foolish if he refuses it. "I have not accepted the $100 which Miller got from us, but according to lawyers it will do no good for me then. lam glad now that I did not accept the money when Secretary Scandrett wanted to retnrn it. It will remain in his pos session now until the entire matter is settled. If the old clnb can do anything with Beckley we certainly can do the same to Miller; but as I have said Messrs. Bacon and Howland state that the law can do nothing in the matter. CAUSED LOTS OP TROUBLE. "Certainly these contract jumpers have caused us lots of trouble. When we all started out I bet John Ward a hat that not one player wonld desert, and I have been badly left How ever, at the Cleveland meeting there were ap plications from three more players n ho bad left us to return. Two of them offered money to get back. One offlered 300 and the other S200. They were not taken back, however, and won't be." Daring a general conversation on local mat ters. Manager Hanlon went on to say that Beckley would play first base and that Carroll will go behind the bat and in the field. "We will alwajs have onr best batting team in," said Mr. Hanlon. "Carroll will, therefore, play al most every day. I think we'll have as good a team as there is in the country." tTILI, GET DOWN TO WOEK. The players of the old League club will com mence active operations this week. Manager Hecker will have them at Itecreation Park and keep them at livel- exercise whenever the weather permits. He means to devote consider able attention to the young pitchers and prob ably few men are bete;.- able to coach a young ster m the box than Si.- Guv. Ho has an ex cellent knowledge of pitch tg and ho has an effective wav of impartin ; that knowledge to others. If Beckley carries out his latest in tention and plays with the new club. Manager Hecker will probably play at first base and ho is a good man at that position. Of course be regrets that Beckley does not mean to play witn the old club. Hesaid: "Beckley and those who have allured him Irom us cannot expect to suc ceed with the respectable public by employing such very dishonorable and contemptible methods. Such actions will ruin the national game." CEICAG0 7, CLETELAKD 2. A Spirited Gone at New Orleans Between Two Brotherhood Clubs. Nrw Orleans. La, March 16.

The Cleveland Players' League team will be the first club of the new organization to begin a suit against its deserting players. Yesterday Attorney L. A. Russell, legal agent of theClcveland team, pre pared papers asking from the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court injunctions against Catcher Z.mmcr and Shortstop McKean to revent them from playing with the local ague team. Both men have been jumping forward and backward for some time, but arc at the present time with the National League. The papers will be filed Monday, and the cases will be pushed to a speedy trial. Sir. Russell said to night that if the two men signed Players' League contracts first they could be legally hl(L. miller's Strong- Denial. George Miller, the catcher of the local League club, desires to emphatically deny the statement published to the' effect that be in tends to rejoin the Brotherhood. He says: "I am with the National League to stay, and I have never made application for readmlssion tn the Brotherhood, nor have I requested any body to do so for mc. I will not play with a Brotherhood club under any circumstances; in fact, I would prefer chicken stealing to playing with that organization." Preparing for Duty. There are now 13 players of the old local club In the city. They are located at the Central Hotel, and there are some fine looking young men among them. The nlaycrs who have now reported fcr duty arc: Baker. Jones, Schmitt, Berger, Wilson, Bradenburg, Mtilliearn,Mller, Boat, Routcliffc, Hemp and DeibeL SHEEDI'S ENTERPRISE: Tbe Well-Known sporting; Man Wants to " Popularize the Derbv. If reports are true, Mr. Patrick Sheedy, who .' Is at present sojourning in Chicago, has a scheme on foot to boom the American Derby u of 1S92 away up to tbe clouds. His idea is that if the Washington Park Club would add at least $25,000 to this event, so that it wonld In- 1 sure tbe winner of the race S30 000. it wonld $ induce the turf magnates of England and " Australia to send their crack 3-year-olds over ' ' to compete for this rich prize, and Mr. Sheedy. V with commendable enterprise, offers to guar antee the club from anyios by reason, of the : increase of added money. Much as we would wish to see the American j' Derby grow in importance and increase in interest to racing men ot every country, we are very doubtful if tbe proposed additions wonld bo tbe means of securing foreign entries, for wo have several enormous stakes now that have not as yet received patronage from either places mentioned. Americans and Australians will go to England to race, bat Englishmen do not care to send their horses over here. Sportsman. An Amateur Race. Jhe members ot the East 2nd Gymnasium have a treat in store for next Friday evening. On that date there will baa three-boar foot race for members of the dab. Two handsome medals -will be offered as prizes. Doubtless the contest will be an exciting one, as there are some good pedestrians in the club. Will Box for Paints. Arrangements have almost been completed for a six-round clove contest, for points, be tween Mike Dugan and Paddy UcBride. It is intended to bare the contest take place at Homestead on Saturday evening. The con testants will fight at catch weight and Queens berry rules will govern. Sporting Roles. The Squirrel Hill shoot takes place to-day. Crooks, formerly second baseman, has been made captain of the Columbus team. TrtE great question is: Does a law exist that deals with baseball transactions in any shape or form? Billy Suxdat, the evangelist, will prove a big card in Cincinnati. He will pnll a large at tendance ot church-going people. A LAKGE number of Brotherhood support ers condemn the action of Beckley in living on the old club's money and then jumping. SamHtams. the popular local poolseller. is making arrangements to go to Wheeling for the season. He leaves for that city to-day two weeks. Hemrt Hogmier, of Allegheny, was in New York, Saturday, and purchased at Kel logg's horse sale, Ben Tracy, a 4-year-old stallion with fine pedigree. AN official ot the old local club stated last eTening that the Brotherhood people induced Beckley to return by offering nlm $3,600, the same figure that he was to receive from the League club. The Commercial Club Canvassing Commit tee of the Indianapolis Clnb, reports sales ot 165 season ball tickets, swelling the total num ber to about 300. Additional sales are antici pated when Indianapolis is assured that she will remain in the League, but it is doubtful if they exceed 500. Dissatisfaction is found with the price, tickets being held this reason at 35, wneu last season tiiey commanaea out sa Death has again invaded the ranks of old time, famous trotting oHiiers, and William H. Humphrey, once known as the owner of Judge Fallerton, 2:18, and other noted performers, has passed from the busy scenes of life. Some years ago, when Dexter. 2:! Judge Fuller ton, 2:18. Lady Tliorne, 23!A and Lucy, 2:18, were the star performers, Mr. Humphrey was a familiar figure at all prominent trotting meetings. Ax advice from Memphis says that Terra Cotta looks like a 3-year-old, and his legs are to all appearances clean and sound He takes his gallops with the jockey Francis on his back as it there w ere not the least doubt of his rac ing again. Jacobin also goes sound, and in his common gallop the other day went three fur longs in :11. Santalcne looks the racer he is. Little Miuch looks as good as new. All of them are beinc galloped daily, ana will win their share of the races throngn the Western circuit. IX ITS OLD PLACE. Pittsburg Drops lo Eishth In Iho Clearing Douse List.

A cave of minerals has been discovered about five and a half miles from Mechanicsburg, and on the farm of the Hon. H. G. Moser, now worked by Mr. Koller. The cave is 110 feet below the surface of the ground, and was discovered while quar rying for limestone, the opening being f ound by the men working in the quarry. The open ing being reported to Captain C. E. Brindle. who is interested in geology and chemistry, immediate steps were taken to investigate It. They reached a distance of 253 feet from the entrance. Here they were compelled to stop on account of a rock, which they were unable to pass. They conld see past the rock as far as the line of light would allow, and in this cham ber they saw some of the finest formations they had ever beheld. They brought out some of the specimens, which they had beeu forced to break off in order to get through the openings into the different chambers that led off from the main passageway. A complete and careful survey of the locality indicates that for a dis tance of two and one-half miles there Is what might be called a complete chain of hills run ning in the same direction as the passageway of the cave,and there is no doubt that the opening at the Lisburn end of the hill and the opening that the explorers propose working are con nected. SPONGES GROWING SCARCE. A Weil-Known Dracslst Give a Came for the AdvnnclnE Frlcee. "Sponges are still going up," said F. H. Eggers,the Ohio street, Allegheny, druggist, as he showed a Dispatch representative speci mens of the different sorts. 'The best come from the coasts along the Grecian archipelago, although some very good ones come from the Bermudas and Florida, but as a rule they can not compare with those from tbe first named district. They are termod generally tho Turk ish sponge. They come to us in various shapes and sizes, and some run as high as 15 in value. "The cause of the advancing prices can be attributed to no other cause, in my opinion, but that they are gradually growing scarcer, the supply being unequal to the demand." SWAM AWAI FROM DIAMONDS. While They Disponed In ibe Bnlh a Thief Stolo Their Valuables. PniLiDELPHiA, March 1(L While a number of patrons of Thomas Martindale's Turkish bath establishment, on Tenth street, below Filbert, were disporting themselves in the swimming pool on Friday night the box con taining their valuables was broken open and robbed. The thief eecured S215 in cash, one diamond ring valued at about $275, two gold watches and chains, one gold locket, one gold pencil and a gold dratt of a bank in Greenfield, O., on a New York bank for $20, and drawn pay. able to the order of J.

TOO MUCH INFLUENCE Brought to Bear Upon the Pension Bureau by Congressmen. THOUSANDS OP SPECIAL CASES Ketard the Begnlar Work of This Import ant Department. THE PLANS OF THE WEEK IN C0KGEESS. No Great Discrimination is Allowed on Carload Freight Hates. The pension department has issued notice to Congressmen that the practice of making cases special has become a great evil. Com missioner Baum thinks that it is time to call a halt. IFBOM A STAFF COBBESPONDKtT.l "Washingtoit, March 16. One of the great ahnses the Pension Office now has to contend with is the importunity of mem bers of Congress to have claims of con stituents made special. Many of these claims are in the hands of pension attorneys doing business in the districts of Congress men, and the requests are on this account doubly an abase. Commissioner Banm and the officials of the Pension Bureau generally have tried to oblige Congressmen, but this courtesy has been abnsed to a degree as to greatly retard the business of the bureau. A number of cases have been bronght to light where members have called for the condition of 100 claims at one time, in order to further the interests of some particular claim agent in his district. A GROWING EVIL. Other cases have been found where mem bers have anthorized claim agents to use their frank at will in calling up the claims in which they were interested. It has been a rule of the office for years that letters from members and Senators must be answered the same day they were received in the division to which they belonged, so that each call made a claim "special" for the time, and placed it before thousands of claims equally meritori ous. On the one hand members are retarding the work of the office, while on the other they arc criticising the Commissioner and the workings ot the bureau for not passing more claims. A circular has been now prepared, and will be used in future to answer manv calls trom mem bers, particularly in claims that are being con tinually and repeatedly called up without fur nishing the reauired evidence. The circular advises the member that there is not sufficient reason shown why the claim Bhould oe taxen out of its turn for settlement, and that it is found impossible to give immediate answer to his inquiry. KNTIKELT TOO NUMEROUS. The circular also advise him that during the last week in February, 1S90, there were 4.996 calls received from members, and during the same period 20,609 were received from attorneys and claimants, making a total of 25,603 calls for the status of claims. To make proper reply to the Congressional calls alone wonld require the time of 100 examiners. The circular includes a copy of order 151, which tells claimants and attorneys what Is necessary in order to have claims placed on the "completed files." It also makes the statement that the bureau is now adjudicating more than 15,000 cases a month, and it is expected that the number will be largely increased as soon as Congress author izes the employment of 30 additional surgeons asked for. Whether the members and Senators will bo content with the explanation as set forth in the circular remains to be seen. LlOHTXEB. EQUALITY IN BATES. Carload Lota Mnst Not be Carried nt a Dlnch Lower Figaro Than Smaller Quantities A Decision of the Inier-State Commission. WASnn.-GTOJf, March 16. The Inter State Commission, in an opinion by Com missioner Schoonmaker, decides the cases bronght against the trnnk lines by F. B. Thurber and others, of Hew York City, known as the "carload cases," in favor of complainants. Complaint was made of too great differences in rates charged on carloaa and less than carload quantities. The cases ex cited widespread interest and more than 400 persons.firms and corporations doing business in various sections of thecountrynlcdmemorials with tbe commission expressing their views for or against the relief sought for by tbe com plainants. Classification of freight for transportation purposes is in terms recognized bv the act to regulate commerce and is therefore lawful. It is also a valuable convenience both to shippers and carriers. A classification of freight desig nating different classes for;carload quantities for transportation at a lower rate in carloads than in less than carloads is not in contraven tion of tbe act to regnlate commerce. Carriers arc not at liberty to classify property as a basis of transportation rates, and impose charges for its carriage with exclusive regard to their own interests, but tbey mnst respect the interests of those who may havo occasion to employ their services, and conform their charges to the rnles ol relative equality ana justice wnicn tne act prescribes. Cost of service is an important element in fixing transportation charges and entitled to fair consideration, but it is not alone controll ing or so applied in practice by carriers, and the value of tho service to the property car ried is an essential factor to be recognized in connection with other considerations. Under the official classification the articles known in trade as grocery articles are so classified as to discriminate unjustly in rates between carloads and less than carloads upon many articles, and a revision of tho classification and rates to cor rect unjust differences and give these re spective modes of shipment more relatively reasonable rates is necessary and is so ordered. THE FATE OF BLAIR'S BILL. Slav be Settled by a Test Vote la tbe Senate To -Day. , Washington, March 16. An effort will be made in tbe Senate to-morrow by Senator Plumb, in accordance with his notice of last Wednesday, to displace the Blair educational bill with his laud grant forfeiture bill. The vote on this proposition will, it is supposed, in dicate the fate of the educational bill. If the motion to supersede it on the calendar by tbe forfeiture bill is successful tbe belief is that it will not afain be heard of at this session of Congress. If tbe bill shall be further dis cussed under the present order, it will not oc cupy all the time of the Senate until a vote is reached on Thursday afternoon, to the exclu sion of other business, as but one or two more speeches are to be made on tbe measure, beside the summing up by Senator Blair, which is limited to one hour by the resolution of the Senate. The subject of executive sessions will come up to-morrow for disenssion under Mr. Call's notice to ask for the consideration nf tbe Florida judicial nominations in open session. Mr. Dolph's committee is expected to make a report of the results of its investigation of the subject of executive session leaks sometime in the weeK.' at is saiu mat tne committee is now considering the question of certifying one of tbe witnesses examined last week to the District Attorney for prosecntion.

CAUGHT THROWING STONES. Eloven Boys to bo Arrested for Damaging B. & O. Railroad Car.

"EMPTY VESSELS SOUND LOUDEST" The above adage, which is as true as it is old, illustrates to a nicety the path pursued by certain notoriously high-price, small-fry furniture and carpet dealers. They go into ecstacies over imaginary bargains in trashy chamber suites, when KEECH sells scores of better suites every day at as low (if not lower) prices, without even as much as alluding to this fact in his advertisements. Extremely silly, indeed, are the statements of many of these dealers. Some claim to carry the largest assortment, when you could put their stock into one corner of Keech's Mammoth Building. Others pretend to name the lowest prices, when Keech undersells them every hour in the day. Still others claim to do the largest business, when Keech actually sell more goods in a week than they sell in a month. But why go on No comparisons are needed. Everybody knows that Keech's is the leading CASH AND CREDIT Housefurnishing Emporium In Western Pennsylvania, and, we may add, never outdistanced all competition as completely as right now with its GRAND DISPLAY FURNITURE FOR THE PARLOR A very large assortment of truly gorgeous suites, made according to the very latest fashions of furniture architecture.
