A THICK TO ALLAY SUSPICION. Ihe Communications With Fete Browning and Jack Boyle Were Intended for Publication. HTTSBUBG WILL KOT BE DKOPPED. the Team In as Good Condition Here as in Any of the flayers' League Cities. The Sporting Times accuses the American Association with treachery to the Leagne, nnd says that organization and the Brother hood are atont to combine. Such was the statement published in yesterday's Dis patch. To that which has already been published the Times adds: "Confirmation of the scheme comes in the most undoubted manner. Ihe New York World and other Brotherhood organs con tained exclusively on Thursday morning two letters written respectively bv Von der Ahe to Jack Boyle and by Captain Taylor, of the loulsvilies, to Fete Browning, purporting to be a plea to them to jump the Brotherhood and return to the Association. If any more proof of the contemplated treachery was needed here it is: The two letters came simultaneously and with a similarity in tone that is refreshing. Bnt what a blunder this piece of intended tact is. Any reasoning person knows that if either club had been sincere in trying to win those two players bark no letter would hare been used as a medium. Both the St. Louis and Louisville clubs are too shrewd to commit themselves in writing to ball player of the Boyle and Browning stripe in true business of that kind. Why, tne letters were not even made confidential. There is none so stupid wbo will not see that both letters were Written for publication. Tneir appearance in print to gether prove collusion. TO ALLAY SUSPICION. "The purpose of these letters was clearly to allay any suspicion which might possibly leak out as to the plans which have already been laid. Both the scheming dnbs ot the Associa tion and the Brotherhood know that a disclos ure of their plans so early in the year would render extremely probable the miscarriage of the plan. The other Association clubs, as well as the players in the Louisville, St. Louis, Ath letic and Buffalo, Pittsburg and Philadelphia Brotherhood dubs mutt be kept ignorant of the planned treachery against them. That was the purport of those two letters." Atpreseutit looks foolish to believe that Pittsburg ts to be dropped from the Players' League. The team here has beeo drawing good crowds and is in about as good condition as any in the new league. Therefore why should It be dropped Of course, everybody connected with the club say they know nothing of a combine with the Association on these grounds or any other. They w ould be glad of a truce between the two organizations, bnt do not look for a direct combine. WHAT DOES IX MEAN? The probabilities are that this story is merely a scare gotten np to frighten the National League. However, the chances for some kind of a compromise at the end of the season are certainly good. Neither side is willing to keep up this warfare, and in fact neither party can afford it. It is not only an injury to the great national sport hut is also an injury to the pocket-books of the backers and that hurts a gteat deal worse than to injure the game in which they take pride only lor the money it makes them. Since it is their idea to get money out of base hall it Is only natural to sunpose that tbey are going to seek a way out of the present difficulty. Both sides ot the ficht in Pittsburg are sick of it and have so expressed themselves in confi dential talks. The only thing that bothers them at present is how to get out without losing all the money they have alreadv invested in the business. Show them a way to compromise and see how quick both organizations will j amp at it.

Chicago. August 17. Poolselllng at the Westside race track has at last been stopped by a decidedly peculiar method. The proprie tor, Edward Corrigan, in attempting to main tain the gambling monopoly which he claimed the law gave him as against gamblers not with in a race track inclosure, antagonized all the cambline fraternity in Chicago except Joseph Dlman and the litter's few associates, who had leased from Corrltran the pool selling privileges at the West Side track. When the great majority of gamblers in the city, after being repeatedly raided, finally fouud their establishments closed up tight, they took united action against Ulman. It appears that one E. S. Gardner has the privilege of sending out race reports by wire at tbe Saratoga track and one Darrell controls the same privilege at Monmouth and other Eastern tracks. Ihese men supply the pool rooms throughout the country at "so much per day. .The Western Union "does the work of sending by wire at wholesale rates. Ulman received word .from the two corres pondents and the telegraph company that first tbe reports would cost him $100 a day; and second tbe telegraph rate would be increased to foil rate. The poolseller had nothing else to do but close. He says every poolseller In Chicago that had been closed by Corrigan signed a joint petition to Gardner and Darrell Informing them that tbe poolrooms had been closed, and requesting them to refuse to sup ply the track with information." The appeal lid its work effectually. Ulman is considering the advisability of taking action in tbe courts, but will await tbe results of a special courier trip East to try moral suasion on Gardner and Darrell. Billy Blssel Is Willing. Billy Bissel's representative called at this office last evening in regard to the challenge of the unknown. He agrees to fight the unknown ten rounds for luO a side, or to a finish for $500 a side. He stipulates that tbe fight must come off at McIC-esport or Braddock and that tour ounce gloves be used. He will be ready to light in two weeks' time. Bissel's representa tive will be at this office next Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. Sporting Notes.

BETTER WORLD NOW Than It Was Centimes Ago, Said Principal Hnrlbert in His SERMON AT LAKE CHAUTAUQUA Touching Ceremonies Held in Memory of Honored Ones. LAEGB KUMBEES AT THE MEETINGS rUrZCtAL TZLEOBAM TO THE SlSrATCIM Lake Chautauqua, August 17. This was memorial day, C. L. S. C. day, and Sunday, at the assembly all together, a pretty big programme to crowd into the space of 12 hours, and that as well upon the holy day. Some form of divine worship or religious entertainment was in progress from 7 in the morning until 10 at night. It was certainly not the model day of Sabbath rest, for he or she who attended all the meetings would have been very fatigued, and even then would hare been obliged to possess the happy.faculty of being in two places at the same time. The pit of the Amphitheater was held vacant, and a few moments before the open ing hymn the members of the class of '90 of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Cir cle, who are upon the grounds, came in at the rear door in double file to listen to the ser mon of Dr. J. L. Hurlbert, principal of the C. L. S. C, who took as his text: "Till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man, nnto the measure of the statnte of the fullness of Jesus Christ." AN IDEAL LIFE. 'This," he said, "is a great text from a great book, and by a great man. The senti ment of 19 centuries has placed Saul above all men ot his age. In breadth and massive ness of intellect, in sympathy and great ness, he is unexcelled. Anything from such a man as this well deserves our atten tion. It has been said that tbe Epistle to the Ephesians was the grandest writing of man. In this book I take for my lesson this morning what seems to me to be its culminating sentence. I find in it two thoughts, either of which is sufficient fora sermon. First, I find here the Christian ideal of character the perfect man; and sec ond, the requisites for its realization. There lives in every soul the' ideal of what it con siders to be perfection. All the time there is going on in our souls the higher and loltler Hie tne ideal mat we lain wouiu live, the ideal that we would do. "Never was a sermon preached, bnt that there was a more eloquent? sermon in the minister's heart; never sculptor chiseled, never painter painted that which was as grand as tbe ideal in nis neart. v ny is it that we look at the great works of art with a kindline soul? Because it comes nearsr to our ideal than anything that human hands have formed. As the poet said, 'What heart and brain went ever paired?' The heart has an ideal that the brain cannot paint, picture or describe. The Christian who has in his heart the ideal, has .born in his soul tbe desire to attain to that ideal. NAMES 8IT1JI.IT WITH GLOBT. "The young dreamer spent one day in con versation and association with Jesus of Nazareth, and went forth the John who gave ns the sublimest writing in all litera ture, I could tell you of "Wesley of Sacke, of 10,000 who were carried on by this ideal, and whose names now stand sunlit with glory. Chautauquans let us push on from height to height, ever keeping before us -this lofty ideal. But there is something beside aulideal in the text here presented. "Ton sometimes meet people who think that the business life of a man has very lit tle to do with his spiritual character; who believe that a man can live a sort of a Jekyll and Hyde' existence. But we find by this text that all must be blended in one, aud that we need tbe knowledge and faith of God. Wherever there is a'sonl that rises above the common souls, that soul is moved by faith. By faith a Colnmbns saw un known lands across the blue Atlantic; Stephenson saw the railroad locomotive run ning across tbe land; Edison, by faith, con ceived electricity, our handmaid. So yon see that not alone men of God have faith. Other men see powers, principalities and thrones. The Christian sees the beauties of the throne of God. To other men this Savior of ours is but Jesus, the Nazarene, but we Christians see in Him the Savior of the world. Other men see Him as man crucified, but we see Him as one who came to die for us. THE LIGHT OF KNOWLEDGE. "Host men's lives are a failure, because they themselves are failures. The man who seeks God and mammon is sure to be disappointed,in one, and often in both. Ob, class of '90, "see that you have the purpose of God in your heart and follow it out. To have faith in Christ will not make yonr deeds among men any less influential or make you less careful and patriotic as a citizen. Nay, more it will make yonr pros perity the greater. "I need not tell yon what knowledge does not for men and women. Yon know it gives us a larger world in which to live. A new lieht which does not fade away at the coming of night. Bnt I observe there is one in partic ular kind ot knowledge which the Apostle Paul, presents to us here. There is a faith which is without knowledge and is often full of fire and enthusiasm. In almost every one ot the writings ot this man Fanl we find something about knowledge. Well, you say, after all, that Paul was an intel lectual man, and perhaps lays too much stress upon education. THE BEQUISITE MODEL. "Add to faith, virtue, and to virtue, knowledge." The knowledge of Paul does not mean the knowledge that comes to men by intiution. It is the knowledge that comes to us by close communion and ex perience. It is not the knowledge that is gained in a single day. It is not the knowledge that requires us to draw close lines; split, hairs on technical points to make fine distinctions between the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ. It is that which makes Jesus Christ the very center of all thought Stand on that one spot in which you get a view ot Jesus, and stars marching round you, strata under yonr feet, proclaim His truth. "There is just one requisite more. You remember the song of Longfellow, which describes tbe building of the ship. The model is what we need. The sculptor sees it as he chisels away the marble. The painter sees it in the books of nature. So it is in the bnilding up of the character and man. Bnt sometimes we do not have the proper models, and we are liable to copy the defects. Find a noble model and try to make yourself like it, HOW TO BECOME A CHBISTIAN. "We need something more than an ideal; we need a model. An ideal is within, the model is without. How shall we copy this model of character? First of all, we nfust separate ourselves from all lower and com moner forms' of thought, fix your eyes on Christ by keeping them away from every thing else, take yonr mind away from other things and see that your soul is not con taminated by any lower object Next, study and commune with Him. Get your self in a proper mind of thought to read and contemplate Him. "We can study and read Shakespeare, but we can not commune with him. Bnt we can commune with Christ, for He is with us at all times. Translate the life of Christ in your daily living. Live as He lived, and walk as He walked. If you are a shoe maker, a carpenter, think that Christ was once a common man -like .yourself. Think what a world this would be if we 'would live up to the statue of fullness of Christ' I re cently walked'past the statues in New York, and there stood in bronze the' men whom America delight to honor, a Washington, a Lincoln, a Grant, a Seward. THE WOBLD OBOWING BETTER. "I thought of the statues that would have been two centuries ago, representing not the saviors of a race, bnt kings, emperors, gen erals, who had been the means of destroying many human lives. They were the men whom nations would have extolled in former times, while to-day true patriotism receives its reward. I believe tbe world is growing better, and that men are living nearer to their ideals." In the afternoon the annual memorial service was held in the memory of those who have passed away during the previous years. The platform was beautifully deco rated with white bunting, while in front of the pulpit was a great floral cross. The de ceased honored with eulogies were Jacob Miller, Vice President of the Chautauqua Association; Prof. Edward Olson, President of Dakota University aud an inttructor in tbe Chautaunua College of Liberal Arts. who was burned to death in tbe frightful holocaust in Minneapolis last winter; Gen eral Clinton B. Fisk, the last Prohibition candidate and a staunch Chautauquan who was booked to appear on the platform the present year. TOUCHING CEEEMONIES. Orations commemorative of their virtues and noble traits of character were delivered by Dr. Miller, of Canlon; Prof. Lewis Stuart, of the College of Liberal Arts, and Dr. Vail. This yearly ceremony is one of the most touching and appropriate of any of the meetings at Chautauqua. In the morn ing at 850, Dr. Richard T. Elv, the well known writer on social and political ethics, preached a lay sermon on "Asceticism Ver sus Christian'Self Sacrifice." "The suffering of the ascetic is less than what Christ held out to His followers to en dure., Prom the time of Christ until this day men have been willing to suffer for Him without reservation. Asceticism is self denial for its own sake, and Christ never urcedL'that. Why did Christ Himself suf fer? These words contain the answer, 'And I will be lifted up to bring all men.' Men first gave to benefit their fellows; now it is charity. Almsgiving, without love! you cannot give tb your brothers. The members of the Christian chnrch to-day are not as they ought to be. Whether tbey are better than they used to be or not, it is certain they have not reached the true standard. They need to learn the lesson of self sacri fice. THE CBOSS IS A BEALTTT, "The life of tbe Christian should be one of self-sacrifice and self-renunciation. Does not liberal Christianity tend to a destruc tion of the cardinal principles of our re ligion? The better for a man to be con trolled upon by superstition than to lead a life of self-indulgence. The cross is still a reality. The Catholic Church offers a most complete form of self-renunciation. Let us see that religion is something more than a graceful and pleasing appendix of life." At 950 A. II., four meetings were held at the same hnur. At the Hall of Philosophy, Dr. A. M. Martin led the young people's Bible class. Mrs. M. G. Kennedy taught the little ones at Kellogg Hall. Dr. W. A. Duncan led a large Sunday school with en thusiasm in the Temple, and the regular assembly meeting was held in the Amphi theater. In the afternoon a big audience gathered io listen to a sermon by Bev. J. W. Bur head. At 9 o'clock the annual vigil of the Class of '90, of the C. L. S. C, was held at the Hall of Philosophy. The meeting was short andof interest to its members. The Athenian watch fires were lighted, and the shadows reflected on the massive white columns pre sented to the eye ot the looker-on magnifi cence not unlike that of the stately Par thenon of ancient Athens. The programme for the coming week will be the most replete and brilliant of the season. At Lakewood the military gave a dress parade in the ar ternoon. DIDTJSTEY WILL WIH. millionaire Paper Maker West Says Anyone Can Succeed ne He lias, Frank O. Carpenter Letter. 1 I talked some time agd with ex-Congressman George West on labor qnestions. He is one of the biggest paper makers of the world. He makes millions of paper bags lor grocers and storekeepers every year and there is scarcely a household in the United, States who has not carried home groceries in his bags. He has eight large paper mills in this country and one in England and he employs hundreds of men. He is an En glishman by birth and be was 11 years old when he went into a paper mill in England to learn his trade. He came to America at 26 and now, in his sixties, is worth his mil lions. -Said he: "I came to America from Eneland in 1819 and worked in a paper mill for 7 a week. What I have made is just what is offered to any emigrant who comes herewith good intentions. I believe the chances for making money are just as good to-day as tbey were then, and there is no country in all Europe that has such opportunities for laboring men. Think of the difference. I have a mill in England where I employ 120 hands, and masons do the same work for me there lor $1 a day that 1 pay $3 a day lor in Saratoga county. Not long ago I aided one man to come to this country irom my mills in England. He had no means aud I advanced him tbe money for his pass age and incidental expenses. This was in in 1883.- He has uow repaid me every cent, has gotten himself a house and-lot and has $1,000 in the bank. From laboring men ot this class there is no danger of anarchy, and I have no fear of either anarchy or strikes. I treat my men well and pay them good wages. "I don't think they have the right to dictate what I shall pay any more than I have the right to make them work against their will. If any of my employes can do better anywhere else, I will give him a recommendation and God-speed. I own several large paper mills and other prop erty, and I have no (ear of dynamiters or others. I think these matters will right themselves. This is a Government of the people and for the people, and every man is king.

' ' EDMUNDS A KICKER. The Vermont Senator is About to Re tire to His Mountain Home. ACCUSATIONS OP EXTRAVAGANCE Brought by Him Against the Present Ses sion of Congress. PE0P0SED REMOVAL OP GRANT'S BODY rSFXCML TJCLXGRAM TO TUB DISPJtTCII.t Washington, August 17. Senator Ed munds is mnch disappointed over the way matters are running in the Senate, and after the caucus of Thursday night, he said to a group of Senators that he had about deter mined to go to Vermont and allow the Re publicans in the Senate to send the party to the eternal bow-wows, as they seem to him to be bent on doing. The Vermont Sena tor's particular grievances are what he calls the criminal extravagance of passing the river and harbor bill and the pigheaded ob stinacy with which the members of the Fi nance Committee are trampling down mat ters of important legislation in order to rush through the tariff bill. Mr. Edmunds thinks it is criminal to ex pend $25,000,000 or $30,000,000 in needless river and harbor improvements, when there is a certain prospect of a deficit of $40,000 , 000 or $50,000,000. He has also expressed the opinion that the Finance Committee has fumbled up the McKinley tariff bill in the interest of local ties, and in entire forget fulness of all principles of right and justice, and that he does not care to be a party to such reckless legislation. GOING 10 TEBMONT. Mr. Edmunds is a friend of the elections bill, but does not want the tariff bill dis posed of without a full debate. He said to the colleagues with whom he talked after, the caucus on Thursday night, in the rather flippant style which he assumes when de siring to be particularly severe and sarcas tic, that he had arranged a pair with Sena tor Pugh to cover his probable absence in Vermont, and added a few cutting words to the ettect that the Alabama Senator might have a pretty wide latitude in deciding when and how to apply the pair. The programme of business for the rest of the session will be determined in open Sen ate this week, if the present understanding is carried out. Mr. Quay, according to no tice given Saturday, will introduce his amended resolution to-morrow, which, under the rules, it is expected, will go over until Tuesday for action. It will not be referred to the Committee on Kales, hut will be dis posed of in the Senate. This course is de sired by its author and has the approval of the Committee on Bales. THE TEST OP STBENGTH. When it comes up lor some consideration, a motion will be made probably by Mr. Hoar or Mr. Spoouer, to include the Fed eral election bill in the list of measures that shall be considered after the tariff bill is disposed of. This is expected to precipitate a debate of some length and considerable bitterness between the two wings of the Re publican majority. Mr. Quay and Mr. Aldrich, who is acting with him,believe the resolution will pass by a good majority, with no amendment. When that matter is settled, the tariff bill will be taken up and pressed to a vote as rapidly as possible. The urgent deficiency appro priation bill, reported last week, will be called. up to-morrow by Mr. Allison, and will be disposed of, if possible, at one sit ting. SUSPENSION DATS SCAECE. Althongh this Congress is in its ninth month, there have . been only three "suspen sion days" in the House, notwithstanding the fact that the rules provide that at least twice each month an opportunity shall be afforded to pass measures under suspension of the rules. It is probable that to-morrow tbe rule will prevail, and the committees will be allowed to call up selected measures for action. Under this order the Committee on Education, if it be reached in the call, will seek to pass the Senate bill to extend additional aid to agricultural colleges. The Committee on Agriculture is to have the floor Tuesday, and possibly for several days following, lu order to disenss and act npon the compound lard and meat inspec tion bills. When these measures are dis posed of it is possible that the Labor Com mittee may nave a day, if the Elections Con.mittee does not insist on pressing the pending contested election cases. MRS.

How tbe Terrible Accident at tbe Hyndman Bridge Occurred. israelii. TZLxonjuf to th disfatch.1 Bedford, Augnst 17. The accident at the bridge near Hyndman, on tbe Bedford and Bridgeport Railroad last night was more seri ous than tbe first news seemed to indicate. The result is that two small children are left without a mother. The facts of the case as related by Dr. Gump, of Bedford, who, with Dr. Calhoun, was taken to the scene of the ac cident on a special train, is as follows: William Barthalow, with his wife and two children, ac companied by Mrs. Mitchell, with her four children, were on their way home from Hynd man and were crossing the bridee, which Is 200 feet long, when the freight train came upon them. Mrs. Mitchell was tbe first to see the train, and halloed to Barthalow and bis wife, but the train, which was a heavy one, and coming down a heavy grade, could not be stopped. Mrs. Mitchell and her children lumped through tbe bridge into the water be low, a distance of 12 feet. The water was very shallow or else ail would probably have been drowned. Mrs. Barthalow lost all control of herself and neither attempted to jump nor get to one side of tbe bridge. Her busband grabbed the two children and standing on the ends ol the ties, held the two little ones at arm's length out over the bridge until the train had passed. Mrs Barthalow was Utterly ground to pieces. Mr. Barthalow said tbat he bad about made up bis mind to jump as tbe space where be stood was very small and tbe train on several instances touched his clothes. Mrs. Mitchell and her children were all badly bruised and cut. THE SAILEOAD WINS. Efforts to Prevent Right of Way Knocked Ont br tbe Conrt. jericuu. TSLiaRaji to tbx dispatch. Altoona, Angust 17.

COLD WATER CLANS Expected to be Ont in Great Force at the State Convention. PEEFECTING THE ORGANIZATION. Only a Few Counties In Which the Part is Sol on a Firm Basis. CHAIRMAN STEYENS BEAD! T0EET1KE IFTZCIAT. TM.EOBAM TO TBE DISPATCH. 1 Habbisbttko, August 17. The outlook points to an unusually large Prohibition State Convention, on Wednesday and Thurs day next. The demand for half-fare tickets is unprecedented In the history of the party; and as a result ibe political gathering will attract a big crowd to this rity outside tbo delegates. All the counties in the State are expected to be represented, except Pike and forest, in which the Prohibition sentiment has taken no foothold. In Monroe the party has no organization because of its few members; but slight head way is being made in, the connty and it will donbtless be represented in the convention. In several counties tbs Prohibitionists are not sufficiently numerous to justify a reeu lar organization, bnt tbey are snpplied with leagues which will send representatives to Harrisburg. AIT ECLIPSE EXPECTED. The State conventions of the cold water political party are always large, owing to liberal latitude given counties in making np their list of delegates. Bnt the forth coming body is expected to eclipse all its predecessors in the number of its members, which will aggregate about 8,000. Chairman Stevens, of the Prohibition State Committee, has been kept busy the past few weeks in arranging the preliminar ies of tbe convention.- The convention will meet for organization at 11 A. jl, after half an hour's devotional exercises. Among the oratorical attractions will be Samuel Dickie, Chairman of the Kational Prohibition Com mittee, who will assist In filling gaps in the convention and address a public meeting in the evening. In tbe evening prior to tbe meeting of the convention, tbe State Executive Committee will meet in the Young Men's Christian Association Hall to talk over the cost of the last campaign, and to endeavor to prepare a programme for tbe guidance of the conven tion. The State Central Committee of 1889 will convene after the afternoon session of the convention.on the first day, and that for the year will organize immediately alter final adjournment: BEADY TO EETIEE. There is a strong sentiment among Prohi bitionists to continue A. A. Stevens as Chairman of the State Committee, but be is not in sympathy with the feeling, and will probably not accept the distinction again sought to be conferred on him, owing to the long service he has already given to the canse of temperance as captain of the Pro hibition forces, and the personal attention which his legal and other business requires. Chairman Stevens will be here on Tuesday morning to Begin tne periecting of conven tion details. The Prohibition party of Pennsylvania is claimed by its leaders to be in robust condi tion, notwithstanding the poor show it has made in previous campaigns. A county or ganization has been effected in nine-tenths of the counties ot the State, and in them tickets have either been or will be nomi nated. This method has been recommended and adopted, not because there is hope of success anywhere, but for the reason tbat it serves to keep tbe Prohibitionists intact. All the County Chairmen of the party are being snpplied with campaign literature to assist them in steadying the wavering and creasing tbe number of soldiers in the cold water army. l ' A SUET PLATF0EM. The Farmer' Union or Missouri Makes Pos itive Declarations. Sedalia, Augnst 17. It was not until 4:30 o'clock this morning that the Farmers' and Laborers' Union adjonrned.
