Exciting Scenes at the Track Among a Crowd of 20,000 People. BAIN SPOILS TEi BASEBALL GAMES Interesting Exhibitions at the Opening of the Kew Katatorium. THB BF0RT1NG SEWS OP THE DAT BBOOKI.TK, May 15. Tbe Brooklyn Jockey Club to-day probably had the largest attend ance seen at Its track since tbe opening day, the occasion being the beginnta: of its spring meeting. Added to this was tbe attraction of the Brooklyn handicap, one of the creat winter betting events. There were at least 20,000 people present The weather was unpleasant! rain coming down in a drizzle dnrlnc the afternoon. 1 The track was very muddy, although not ex- 7" actly "holding." The event of the day the Brooklyn handicap resulted in a somewhat r unpleasant surprise for the bulk of the backers, Inasmuch as a horse that had been running poorly at the winter tracks won in a convenient , kind ofa canter. In fact Castaway 11. had the race won after the first hundred vards. none of the others seemingly belnc able to get up to him. LOS ANGELES NOT IN IT. v Los Angeles, the favorite, to the surprise or ,, every one. was never in the race at all. and the oniv'anlmal that snide any pretension to cover- ''" lngthe ground was Badge. Castaway held the front right along and apparently without much effort. Bnt it was a good race under these clr- fcumstances, however, and the time made was surprisingly fast, the first half being run in U seconds and the mile In 1:41. Of course many of the spectators rated the race a fliile, but then they looked at It from a practical or rather a . financial point or view. Very little Interest was taken in the other events, although ttey resulted In rapltat finishes. The great handicap, which was the fourth event on the card, hut first in lntrret. was run under these conditions: The Brooklyn Jockey Club Handicap.

THE LAST BUGLE SOUNDED. The scene when the bell rang was an animated , one, men ran hither and thither to gain points of vantage. Finally tbe last bugle call sounded, and Bulge was the first to appear, followed by the s others. The usual parade was omitted.

Manager Barnle, or the Baltimore Baseball Club, says: "There are only three or four teams in the country making money on baeball this season. There Is too mneh of baseball. As Tar as my own clnb Is concerned. I think it the strongest in the Atlantic Association. It is stronger than tbe Washington clnb. Our men have been under tne weather some time, and that accounts for Baltimore not being In the lead. In a short time we will be there. '1 he general apathy in baseball is dne to tbe Brotherhood. Had I been enabled to remain In the American Association I would have won the pennant for Baltimore. Kil roy. Foreman. Griffin. Shlndle and Tucker all signed Brotherhood contracts and left the Balti more club. The only thing 1 conld do was to get Tucker and Foreman Into the National Leagne. The reason Charley Bvrne left the American Association was on account or Von der Ahe's statements that be was playing suspicions ball, while Byrne hurt the American Association In leaving and going into the League. I do not blame him and would have done the 6ame thing mvself. Byrne is on or the most popular and upright men In baseball. The outlook tor base ball Is an uncertain quantity; but my opinion Is that the men who during the past doien years have made the national game what It Is will be the men to w hom the American people will look for a continuance of the same." GOT HIS KET.TIASK. Dnnlnp Is Let Go and He Abuses the O0I clnls of the Clnb. Fred Dnnlap was given his unconditional re lease yesterday by Acting President O'Nell. of the local N. L. club Theplsyer wanted pay for the usual ten days, but compromised on five days. He was paid un in full, and after receiving his money he gave vent to considerable abuse regard ing officials or the club. He talked very ungeu tlemanly about Manager liecker. going so far as to sav that Mr. Heckcr advanced players' money simply to win It from them playing poker. Mr. O'Nell gives no credence at all to Dnnlap's state ment, claiming that they are prompted by the fact of bis being put out of the team. The general oplulon Is that silence wonld be golden with Dun lap at present. Ills late record does not permit of his talking about other players. lie will leave the city to-night. Director O' x ell also paid money to Daniels, al though the club did not owe him a cent. TEI-STATE LEAGUE. The McKeeaporis Again Defent IheMnns flelds by Fortnnnte Hilling. SrECtAI.

Some Interesting ovrlmmlnc Feals Wit- nrasrd br Tbousnmls of Peoplr. The Pittsburg Natatorlum was formally opened yesterday, and the crowds who witnessed the In auguration were immense. Morning, noon and night the new and handsome building was filled with ladles and gentlemen. Everybody expressed delight at the big and magnificent pool of water. Success assuredly will be the lot of Manager Fred Goodwyn and those who are with him in the en terprise. That the natatorlum will become one of the most popular institutions in the city Is cer tain. Judging from the enthusiasm of the thous ands who visited It yesterdtv. The inability to have all the bathrooms finished owing to the plumbers' strike was a great draw back. These will soon be finished, however. During the morning, afternoon and evening Prof. McEwens and his assistant, James Taylor, Jr.. gave some splendid swimming exhibitions and feats in natation. 'Die professor did all kinds or tricks. His most prominent exhloltlon was that Illustrating how to save a drowning person. In the evening the Taylor brothers James, John and Charles, made a good contest- Thcv arc flno swimmers, and their efforts were well applauded. The water was excellent, and Pittsburg now has a first-class natatorlum. Pittsbnrsers Bar of Fnslg. Cleveland, May 15. At Faslg's horse sale to day S22, 865 was secured for 59 horses sold.

At yesterday's session or the Allegheny Classis of the Reformed Church tbe Zion Churcb trouble In the East End was discussed. It was developed that Bernard Wolf, Jr., Is at present having erected at his own expense a handsome stone church on Highland avenue, which is to cost him when finished $30,000. Mr. Wolf is a sympathizer with the minority in tbe Zlon trouble, and be had hoped that when bis church bad been finished that tbe minority would form part of its congregation. This, however, the minority does not snem to want to do: tbeir love for their old church makes tbem very bitter. Tbe minority were granted thn right of appeal. Heretofore! It has been the custom of minis ters attending Classis and Synods to be cared for In Ithe families of the congregations. A resolution was adopted that hereafter dele gates be cared for at the expense of tbe Classis fund. A committee was appointed to see about building a church at Wlliuerding. The reports of tbe ministers for Allegheny and Butler conntles for tbe year shows that there are eight churches and four missions, with a mem bership of 2.159, Tbe next session will be held In Grace church.

When the decision of the United States Supreme Bench on the Iowa case was known all the District Attorneys in the State de termined to prosecute liquovlealersjust the same as before, until the State Court had ruled upon the question as to the right of a police officer to Beize liquors in no license cities and towns. There is a division of opinion among the lawyers of the State with regard to sales in the original rjackapes. anrl n that reason the decision of the Supreme Court of Maine on that point in the present case is awaited with no little interest by lawyers buu rum sellers atiKe. There is plenty of rum sold in this State at the present time, much of it being openly disposed of in the cities. But if it is deter mined that liquor can legally be sold in the original packages tbe State agents will have to go out of the business, for the State will be flooded with "special agents." If the Court decides against the "original package" feature of the law the situation will be unchanged. It is easy for the initi ated to get liquor anywhere now. In some towns, especially in the lumber regions, there is no attempt at concealment. Practi cally the State is governed by local option law, although it is not recognized as such by the statutes. LIQUORS DEALERS' CADTIOUS. THEY WANT LEGAL ADVICE ABOUT ORIG INAL PACKAGES. A Lair and Order Attorney Who Expects a Great Denl of Trouble In Philadelphia The Decision Sore to Help the Prohibi tion Party. rsrECIAI. TELEQILUI TO THE DISPATCH.! Philadelphia, May 15. On the sub ject of the recent decision of the Supreme Court in regard to the sale of liquor in original packages, Joseph A. Bonbam, counsel for the Liquor Dealers' Association, said: If any client of mine should call upon me and ask my advice about opening a store and con ducting an original package business, he not having a license, I should advise him not to do it as it would be a very risky thing to doj I understand that the gist of tbe Bu- fireme Court's decision is that they hold that n the absence of Congressional permission to do so tbe State had no power to interfere by seizure or any other action in prohibiting im portation and salo by tbe foreigner or non-resident importer. From this I should say that tbe decision did not confer upon the resident of any State tbe right to seli liquor in original packages. Lawyer William H. Johnson, who had a large practice before the License Court, did not think that the original package decision would have any effect on tbe sale of liquor in this State. When asked his opinion of the decision and its probable effect in Phila delphia, Lawyer Johnson said: I do not know that there is anything in this original package decision more than that a man could sell a package of liquor and deliver it where he was requested. In tbe case which called forth this recent decision of tho Judges of tbe Supreme Conn the liquor was ordered to be delivered in a prohibition State, and it was stopped by reason of the local law 'against tho vending of liquors. I have great respect for tbe opinion of the lawyers who have been quoted, but I think they have overlooked the fnnciple that is at the bottom of the decision. t is nonsense to say that anybody conld open an original package establishment in Pennsyl vania and defy tho local law. No person can sell liquor in Pennsylvania without they are licensed, and I have read the law incorrectly If the United States Supreme Court's decision in the Iowa case has not always been tbe recog nized law of the State of Pennsjl anil. Lawyer Lewis D. Vail, attorney of the Law and Order Society, was much interest ed in the recent decision, and believed that it would cause considerable trouble in this city, ns be feared that under it a citizen of Camden could come over the river and sell liquor in the original packages and defy the present law of this State. He said: If this last decision means that anyoue can come Into this State and bring in a half pint original package and sell it without being sub ject to the laws of tbisState requiring a license to sell llqnor, walking speak-easies will flour ish. A man could go over to Camden under this decision, unlets I misunderstand it, and fill his pockets with half pint bottles of whisky and bring them over the ferry and sell them on our streets without being amenable to the laws of our State. Why, a man might bring his original packages of liquor over from Jersey in a band basket and set up a little stand on tho street corner and retail his little stock from day to day. I have not, however, been able as yet to get the full text of Judge Fuller's decision, and am very loth to believe that he meant to decide that this is the law. But from what I have read, it looks as if that was about tbe size of it. L however, believe the decision is a good thing for tbe Third or Prohibition party, as it places the liquor issue squarely before the whole country. It has al ways been contended that the temperance Question was merely a local issue, bnt the eclsion explodes that pet tbeory of the anti Prohibitionists. Judge Fuller's decision proves that it is a national issue, and not one merely to be disposed of by separate States. Original Packages nt Beaver Falls. rSFEClAl. TELEQBAM TO THE DISPATCH.' Beavek Falls, May 15. Several parties in this place are now hunting rooms to open up "original package saloons," and one man has gone so far as to order his stock of liquors from Ohio.

"Let dogs delight to bark and bite. For 'tis their nature, too; But 'tis a shocking sight to see Children of one familee Fight and quarrel and disagree," Thus quoted Mayor Gourley yesterday when asked if there was anything new in the little unpleasantness which has pervaded Municipal Hall for some days past. His Honor denied that there was a fight between him and the heads of the departments, and intimated that he was a meek man and not at all aggressive. Chief Bigelow visited tbe Mayor yester day, in response to tbe latter's call for the names of all the employes of the Depart ment of Public Works. Neither gentleman would talk about tbo conference, bnt Mr. Bige low said that the .Mayor had all the names in his possession before, as he signed all tho war rants for salaries, and he had tho stubs in his ofllcn. Chief Brown sent tbe following communica tion to the Mayor. It refers more particularly to the raid of an East End poker room kept by the brother of a police magistrate, before whom the case was tried. Instead of holding tho keeper of the room for court, he was merely fined 25 and the visitors ?5 a plece.and some of these fines were remitted. "PiTTSBTJito, Mav 15, 1890. 'Hon.H. I. Gourley, Mayor, City of rittsburg: "Dear Sir A comparison of the teturns made by tbe police magistrates with the vari ous doctets kept by the Inspectors of Police in the station houses, shows that tbe custom of returning fines imposed upon prisoners for violation of law is still Indulged in to a consid erable extent.

She shipped a big cargo and many passengers. Among the latter were 40 Hun garians bouml for Charlcrol, where tlicy are to work on the railroad. They were a very noisy, but good-humored crowd, as tlicy placidly sprawled over all the available packages and boxes, block ing up the way, and causing much profanity among the wharfmen. 'lhelr cook, a tall lady, re splendent In oarti-colorcd kerchief and gaudy shawl, seemed to queen it among them, delivering ber orders In shrill tones, and frequently hurling volleys of abuse at tbe delinquents of the party. ONE MAN AND A CLUB. Continued from Itrtt Page. Crouch owed a small bill, was also told the same story about the trunk key, and said if she wonld wait till her son came in enough change could be secured from him to pay the the bill. The scene of the murder is the old two story frame honse of John Crouch, on the road from Bentleysviile to Washington, half a mile east of the village. John Crouch was 75 years old, Mrs. Elizabeth Crouch five years younger, and the son Andrew about 45. Another son lives in Pike county, Ind., and a daughter lives at Speer, opposite Bellevernon. Mrs. Cronch has a sister. Mrs. Campbell, living about a mile away. NOT EXACTLY FRIENDS. It seems that there was little friendship between the Crouchs and the Campbells. The latter have not visited the Crouch house since the murder. The house stands in a yard near the highway. There are four rooms downstairs and three up. The parlor runs out from the front like an L behind it is the large sitting room. At the right is the bedroom where tbe old couple slept, the kitchen is behind the sitting room and is one-story high. The murderer went to the kitchen door. He had picked up a rough oak paling in the front yard. A similar one leans against the front of tbe bonse. Old man Crouch answered the knock on the door, because his son was very deaf.' One blow on tbe old man's neck below his left ear killed him. Tbe murderer entered the sitting room, vhere Mrs. Crouch sat at one side ol the fireplace and Andrew at the other. The son's neck was broken by a blow at the base of the skull. His chair lay near him. Mrs. Crouch was struck on the right side of her face and ueck. She lay upon ber face and a rocking chair lay beside her. One man must have done the deed. He was a man of great strength. In each case one blow was enough. Harry Crawford, son of Alpheus Crawford, a neighbor, dis covered the murder wben he went to the Cronch honse at 8 o'clock Wednesday morn ing to return a borrowed cross-cut saw. He saw Mr. Crouch's dead body through the kitchen window. He ran home and told his father, and tbe neighbors were soon aroused and at the house. The neighbors found the front door locked, but the kitchen door un locked andslightly open. NOT A SOCIAL FAMILY. The Crouch family were miserly, did little farming and rarely visited their neighbors. They often said that they kept their money in their bouse and would not trust a bank. They lived economically on the interest of loaned money. Mayor Huston, of this place, this morn ing sent Chief of Police McCleary to Pitts burg to search for a tall and powerful negro named William West, who came here Mon day evening with a white woman and child. West on Tuesday tried at two liyery stables to hire a ric to go into the country. He was then lost sight of. He reappeared here yesterday morning and left with the woman and child for Pittsburg. The woman has staid at the Hotel Wilgus, registering as Mrs. West. She hid almost no money on Tuesday, but on Wednesday morning, wheu she bought three tickets at the depot, she displayed a large roll. The woman told tbe station agent that she lived in Allegheny. About noon to-day trip. Mayor received a telegram announcing the arrest of the suspecU at Beaver Falls. Two Washington officers had been at Bentleysviile io-day investigating. Ten years ago a nephew of Crouch, who lived with him, ran away one night and took tbe best horse in tbe stable. He has never been heard from. People are asking about him now. TnE JURY GIVES IT UP. The Coroner's jury's verdict was that the mnrder was committed by party or parties unknown. William West, tbe suspected negro, lived near Bentleysviile, and worked at tarming and mining. The latest infor mation indicates that the murder was com mitted Tuesday afternoon. West reap peared here Tuesday about dark. He bought new shoes here at Sutman's, and in paying gave nn oid-tashioned silver dollar. When the clerk remarked its age he took it back. West had a satchel when he left here Wednesday, but he either hid it or threw it away between here and Biverview, where he took the train. He completely changed his clothesatMrs. Gamble's boarding house Tuesday night. Mrs. Griffith; the daughter, reached her father's home at noon to-day. She is pros trated with grief. Mrs. West, mother ot William, said to day that her son spent Monday night at her house and left there 11 o'clock Tuesday forenoon, saying he was going to Bentley ville. He did not go to the village, but must have left the road and cut across the woods. The funeral of the victims is to morrow at noon. Has-jleb. THE SUSPECTED MURDERER ARRESTED AT BEAVER FALLS AND NOW IN THE ALLEGHENY LOCK-UP. Be Is TJeld on blroim Clrcnmstnntial Evi dence Story of HI Journey Accompa nied by Ills White Wife The Man Once Employed by Crouch. William West, colored; Annie West, white, and a white boy 7 years of age, are in the Allegheny lock-up charged with be ing implicated in tbe Crouch murder. Tbey were brought last night irom Beaver Falls by Detective Kornman and Officer Mc Creary, having been arrested on informa tion lurnished the Beaver Falls police by Chief of Police Murphy. West is a tall, raw-boned negro, 6 feet 2 inches high, about 35 yeirs old. The woman is young and prepossessing in looks. In her possession was found f30 10; the man had ?32 90. These two amounts correspond very closely to the sum supposed to have been taken" from the Crouch home. TnE SEARCH AND THE ARREST. The evidence against the Wests is purely circumstantial, and both when arrested de nied nil knowledge of the murder. When Chief Murphv read the account of the tragedy yesterday morning he remembered that a colored man had forged nn order on another Allegheny negro lor $4 50, and, at the time he got the money, had stated that he wanted a ticket to Bentleyville. Investigating fnrtber he learned that this same man had passed through the city on Wednesday accomptnied by a woman and a boy. Then came Officer McCreary, of Mo nongahela City, who informed the Chief that h was in search of this same necro West, who had left that place suddenly. Inauirv at Sewickley, where West has friends, brought out the fact that tbe man had been there, but had gone on to Beaver Falls. The officers of the latter place were then notified, and the arrest was made this morning. Tbe story told by Officer Mc Creary is as follows: WHY HE IS SUSPECTED. On Monday afternoon West with his whites wife and child arrived in Monongahela City and seenred a room at the Wilgus Hotel. West went awav, his wifo stating that he bad gone to Bentleyville. That they hadn't much money was evident from the fact that it tooK considerable trouble to produce the money to pay for tbe room secured at tbe hotel. On Tuesday night West returned, and taking his wife from ithe hotel, they went to a private boarding house and here the pair displiyed considerable money. On Wednesday JIr. West went to tbe depot and purchased two tickets for Pittsburg. She also had two trunks checked direct Beaver Fall. On leaving the boaraing house Mrs. West and the child went to the station and took the train at that point, bat the husband walked to tbe next station below Monongahela City, and boarded the tram there. Officer McCleary states that he knows West and knows him to be a man ot bid character. He worked about Bentlejvillo for many years, and for some time worked on the Crouch farm. FURTHER IDENTIFICATION. Barker, the Allegheny colored man who was swindled out o: 4 50,identified West as the man who swindled bim, and further stated that when he saw bim on Monday West did not have an ugly-looking scratch under the eye, which is there at present. Detective Kornman also states that he has positive evidence that West changed his ciowes suer leaving Juonongahela City. Tbe three prisoners will be taken to Monon gahela City to-day. $1,000 BEWABD OFFERED.
