A. rainy day in the midst of the baseball
season is always productive of much specu
lative talk among the professionals and
patrons of the game. The argument on the
diamond cannot be seen, but indoors games
are not only lost and won by talk, but the
entire system ot baseball playing is invari
ably revolutionized. Yesterday in Pitts
burg was no exception. Watery clouds
settled all playing at Exposition Park and
there was nothing leit for the cranks to do
but conjecture about the future.
Amid the raiu falling and the thunder's
roar, Mr. Palmer O'Neil, of the local N. L.
club, talked considerably, and so did Man
ager Hanlon and Secretary Tener, of the
local P. lu team. But the most important
statement of all 'those that were made re
garding baseball affairs was one relative to
a conversation that took place between
jtfr. O'Neil and ilr. Kerr. The latter as
Dimatch readers know, is the ex-treasnrer of
the flayers' League team in Pittsburg. Their
talk referred to was entirely concerning
A CONSOLIDATED TEAM;
that is, a team made up of the best 14 or 15
players of the two teams at present profession
ally identified with Pittsburg. The opinions
expressed by the two gentleman ajg vouched
lor by Mr. O'Neil.
The latter and Mr. Kerr accidentally met at
Pratt's store, and at once they began to dis
cuss the "compromise" idea. Both agreed that
a compromise would be the best thing possible
lor baseball. After talking the general princi
ple oyer.nere is tneir expressed notion ot a con
solidated club for next year.
A new baseball company should be formed,
and the capital stock must be S100.0DO. Of
that amount the National League club should
have $50,000 worth and the Players' League
$20,000, In other words, each party to have
what they are now rated or estimated at. The
remaining J3J.C0O worth of shares is to be sold
and the money to be devoted toward paying
debts. The National League is to have the
President.
Both gentlemen agreed to this plan, and then
the make-up of the team was agreed to.
Messrs. O'Neil and Kerr made up a consoli
dated team, as follows: Beckley, first base;
LaRoqne. second; Corcoran, short; Boat, third;
Hanlon, Sunday and probably Maul or Miller
in the outfield; Carroll, Quinn, Miller and
Fields as catchers, aud Galvin, Baker, Hecker
and Tener as pitchers. It was further suggested
that Mr. Tener be Secretary and Treasurer.
VEKY SIGNIFICANT.
The above is only significant because it shows
clearly that prominent stockholders of each
team have a desire to consolidate, and if
straws indicate in what direction the stream
flows, the above opinions show that a compro
mise or consolidation is very likely. It is a fact
that both Messrs. O'Neil and Kerr favor the
notion, because they state that each club is
losing money. A consolidation such as spoken
ot means that the proposed new team play at
Exposition Park. The notion mav to some
cem unlikely of being carried into practice,
but there is some sound bnsiness sense in it.
It is a fact that every deliberative man con-
"eweu m any way wun eitner team favors a
compromise. The public does also. Mr.
Niniick, talking about the matter, said:
"It is foolish to carry on this war; It will not
only ruin us all, but it will kill the game. We
could make a good team out of the two teams
we have in the city, and something will have to
be done. However, we are determined to have
a National League team here next J ear, and
let nobody be fooled on this point"
MecrsrTener and Hanlon are certain that
the Plajers' League team will., be here next
year, because they claim it is the representa
tive club of PitUDnrcr. Thev further Honl-,
that there will be no National League club, and
that is just bow matters stand. It is, however,
authoritatively Btated that the officials of each
team are talkiDg beriously about ai system of
compromise in fittsburg.

rSPECIALTELKonAK TO THE DISPATCH.'
Scottdale, August 19. Master Work
man Kerfoot, of the Knights of Labor,
made a remarkable statement this evening
bearing on the cokers' demands for next
year, and it is assumed that should they
make the demands, as he states, serious
trouble may bo expected, since the operators
have on previous occasions refused to even
consider them. He said:
The present agreement will expire on Feb
ruary 9, and we will formulate no agreement
with the employers which will in any way con
flict with the eight-hour movement, which we
wfll inaugurate on May L We fully Intend to
demand cijht hours for all classes of work; in
fact, this has been definitely decided by a
meeting of the" Executive Board of our
or.?.er Tae movement for shorter hours
will not be confined to the cokers alone,
but will be a general one among the miners
throughont tho country. The carpenters were
selncted to lead tho movement, which they did
last May. Thoir success has greatly encouraged
the miners, who will follow by demanding debt
hoars next Mav. I venture the assertion that
every mining plant where there exists an as
sembly of United Mine Workers will strike,
provided that the eight-hour day Is not con
ceded. In our scale next year we shall ask for the
placing of weigh scales on all tipples, if it is
agreeable to the workmgmen whom we repre
sent. We have every evidence of success, as we
will countenance no radical movement. More
over we propose to send representatives to the
Legislature that will work and vote for the pas
sage of a weigh scale bill.
It is supposed that this will have consider
able bearing on the next fall elections.

MTJEDEEOUS METHODS OF A WOMAN.
She Is Found Gnlliy of Making Away With
Her Hatband.
r SPECIAL TELEOEiK TO THE DISPATCH.!
Fabkebsbubo, August 19. The trial of Mrs.
Mary Jano Morgan, for the murder of her
husband, Jacob Morgan, ended to-day, at Mid
dlebourne, after six days, in a verdict of murder
in the first degree. The village of Middle
bourne has been filled to overflowing ever since
the trial began. Jacob Morgan was a first cousin
of the noted Confederate raider. John Morgan,
but unlike his relative, was a strong Union
man. He was one of the most popular citizens
of Tyler county, and his murder caused a terri-
SUte, although circumstantial, was conclusive,
and proved that his wife shot him through
the body, cut his throat, stabbed him In the
side and poisoned him to get bis money and get
rid of him.
It is believed Monran bad lA&rnAil nf f mmni
practices on the part of his w!Js and that this
was additional incentive to his murder. The
woman, through the terrible ordeal, preserved
a stolidly careless demeanor. Both sides were
represented by strong legal talent and every
advantage taken by the defense, but when the
testimony was all in it was evident the verdict
of guilty would be found in a very few minutes.
The verdict was received by the crowds of
people which filled the courtroom with noisy
demonstrations of satisfaction, The securing
of the evidence to convict was mainly due to
the indefatigable efforts of Gale, the young de
tective who has been working on the case for
oyer a year.

Gaxoksbubg, August 19. The incendiary'.
torch is flourishing in this neighborhood, but
so far its work has been confined to barns.
Within the last five or six weeks five barns
have been burned, and In every case the origin
has been traced to the incendiary. The last
one to go was the fine barn of O. F. Carothera
on the Sandy Quail farm. It was one of the
largest and finest barns in the county and was
stocked with grain, which, together with a
spring wagon, bugey and several sets of har
ness, were destroyed. The loss was $1,000, on
which there was an insurance of $2,500.
Mr. Carothers is one of the most extensive
breeders of fine stock in this county and about
this time of the year he usually bouses them in
the barn while putting. them in shape for his
exhibit at the fall fair. Lost year he took a
tour over four States and raked in many pre
miums. He thinks that the incendiary sup
posed that the cattle were in the basement of
the barn, but fortunately thev wera nnt thn
The many barn fires hare aroused the farm
ers and an organized movement is talked of to
run down the Incendiaries and bring them to
justioe.

Sfannger Hanlon Favors the Notion of a
State Leacne.
Manager Hanlon, of the local Players' team,
is enthusiastic about the formation of a pro
fessional football league for Pennsylvania.
Last evening Mr. Hanlon chatted very pointed
ly on the matter. To the writer he said:
"A good football league will be a success.
Already we have had applications for the use
of our grounds during the fall and winter for
football matches, and we are disposed to iden
tify ourselves with a scheme for a league. A
first-class team can soon be organized in Pitts
burg. I am certain that the game will soon be
a popular one in America, and that it will be
patronized very largely. I think an important
meeting will be held shortly to discuss the matter."

rgPKCIAL TELEGBAK TO THE DI8PATCIU
Mt. Gbetna, August 19. Bain fell at
intervals last night and tbe atmospherical
outlook was decidedly discouraging this
morning. The unfavorable weathcridamp
ened tho ardor of many who had intended
to visit the Farmers' Encampment and pre
vented their attendance, but notwithstand
ing about 5,000 people appeared on the
grounds. These people came mostly from
Lebanon connty, and fifteen packed car
loads from Myerstown, nearly 20 miles
distant. Mt. Gretna is so expansive and so
lull of pleasant promenades and such a
large number sought the many shady
streets in the park that the crowd did not
make the impression, as viewed from the
railroad, that is created at Williams' Grove,
where there is of necessity a concentration
of the people.
Contrivances for the amusement of the
visitors have been liberally provided, speb. as
flying horses, swings and seesaws, bat every
thing that smacks of the fakir has been
rigidly excluded. Some of these fellows be
came so persistent in their requests for per
mission to ply their vocations that it was
found "necessary to politely ask them to
leave the ground.
BEAVER STILL ABSENT.
The encampment was opened by President
McSparren, in the absence of Governor
Beaver, who telegraphed that it would be
impossible for him to be present to-day.
Another telegram from Commissioner Busk
stated that a Cabinet meeting would pre
clude his favorable consideration of the in
vitation extended to him to entertain the
farmers. '
McSparren congratulated his listeners on
the assured success of the encampment and
expressed regret that the Governor was not
present to give the movement encourage
ment The purpose of the Farmers' Alli
ance, he said, was the intellectual develop
ment of the agriculturist, and the encamp
ment was intended to inquire into the labor
savingmachinery on exhibition. The better
education of farmers, who comprise half the
population of the country, was highly
necessary, and the appreciation of this fact
originated tne Farmers' Alliance. Agri
culture was passing throngh a great crisis,
and its better protection was necessary to
prevent it from going entirely to ruin. It
could once stand by itself, requiring no as
sistance, but now it was suffering from great
depressson.
BEATS THEM ALL.
K. A. Dunning, of Washington, stated
that he had visited many fairs in the States
and that he had never seen such a magnifi
cent exhibition of machinery. These en
campments mnst soon assume a national
importance. The American farmer was the
finished product of American civilization.
The National Farmers' Alliance was a liv
ing protest against the unhappy conditions
which surround agriculture.
A full history of the alliance followed,
showing that it originated in Texas In the
war against cattle thieves, andthat it had
obtained a foothold in 29 States and that its
membership reached 3,000,000. In every
State except New England, alliances bad
eitherbeeq organized or were in process of
organization. The Alliance- -was- not psr
tisan, but its members should not vote for
candidates who were in conflict with its
views. As showing the progress being made
by the alliances with the people, he said
the next Congress would havo 30 members
of the House and two Senators belonging to
the organization. It would also elect four or
five Governors. New legislation was needed.
TIME FOB A CHANGE.
For 25 years the politicians had made
laws in their interest It was high time for
a policy for the people. The politicians
should be desposed and the people in
stalled. Alter showing the great deprecia
tion in farm values daring the past 20 years,
he denounced Congress for fooling over the
tariff aud force bills, and advised it to drop
these subjects and give the people cheap
money. He denounced the silver bill, and
warmly commended the warehouse sub
Treasury scheme introduced in Congress. by
Senator Vance.
The feasibility of continuing the encamp
ment for two weeks is being agitated owing
to tbe fine exhibition. One hundred and
fitly cars of machinery have been nnloaded
here, and more are said to be ou the way.
Dr. Correll, who has exhibited his com
pany's agricnltnral implements at Will
iams' Grove for years, says the exhibits at
Mt Gretna are 100 per cent greater than at
the latter place in any year.
' OUT OF THE WORKHOUSE.-
Timothy Brothers, Arrested on a Charge of
Keeping a Disorderly House, Released
Alleged Counterfeiters Captured by De
tectivesOld Mao Found Insanr.
Timothy lirdthers was discharged from
the workhouse yesterday by Judge Magee
on a writ of habeas corpus. Brothers had
been committed to the workhouse for 60
days by Magistrate McKenna on a charge
of keeping a disorderly house.
The application for his release was made
on the grounds that the record did not show
sufficient for his commitment under the
ordinance, and that the ordinance or act of
Assembly was not set foith. Judge Magee.
in his opinion, said that the faots set forth
were not sufficient to sustain tbe charge of
keeping a disorderly house. To sustain the
commitment the evidence must establish the
keeping of a house of the class defined as
disorderly by the ordinance.
Another defect was that the sentence was
to the workhouse, when the ordinance desig
nates the county jail as the place of impris
onment In conclnsion he ordered the re
lease of the prisoner.

PATTISON AND THE FARMERS.
Among the visitors here to-day was Mr.
Cutshall, of Meadvllle, who has been doing
a little quiet campaigning for Delamater in
different portions of tbe State, and his pres
ence here was partially due to a desire to
find out how the Crawford Senator stood
with the alliance people. One gentleman,
who is not a farmer, but a prominent man,
with strong Bepublican proclivities, stag
gered Delamater's friend bv stating that he
would vote for Pattison, aid so would all
his brothers.
During the day seven exhibitors were dis
cussing the Gubernatorial situation on nnn
of tbe platforms, and although five were! and Blddle- ot Lansdown, Pa.; Tete and File,
xvcjjuuuuaus, siA ui me party declared their
purpose to support Pattison. The sentiment
in favor of the ex-Governor is strong among
the alliance people here. Among the peo
ple who have visited the encampment and
have lauded Pattison is Colonel James
Young, of Dauphin connty, who owns six
or seven of the finest larms in the State.
Colonel Young does not say he will vote lor
Pattison, but says the latter is very strong
with the farmers and will poll a surprising
vote among the Bepublicans.

trSOlt A STAJT COBBZSFOXDEXT.I
Washington, August 19. It came to
be an understanding between Senators Hoar
and Quay last evening, that the Quay reso
lution shonld go over from to-day until to
morrow to give the Massachusetts statesman
the chance to elaborate his speech upon the
proposition, and so, when the resolution
was laid before the Senate by President
pro tem. Ingalls, it went over with a little
exchange of the nicest sort of politeness
between Messrs. Hoar and Quay. Later in
the day Mr. Hoar presented the surprise in
the form of 'the notice of two amendments,
more drastic as to one of them than anything
that had been expected.
In the one he provides for the calling of
the previous question or any pending
,measure after a "reasonable time" has been
spent in discussion, leaving to the judgment
of the majority, of course, the decision as to
what is & "reasonable time." In the other
proposed amendment Mr. Hoar gives almost
no time for the consideration of the elections
bill, but calls it np after the tariff bill is
disposed of and begins voting upon it in
stanter at a no later date than September 4.
pboyokino a pioht.
According to the Quay resolution debate
is to end on the tariff bill August 30. After
that time votes will be taken on paragraphs
yet unconsidered without chance of discus
sion, out amendments may be offered, as
this cannot be prevented, and the Democrats
may consume several days forcing aye and
nay votes on dilatory amendments. The
chances are it would be imnnmihla in m.ii
a final vote on the tariff bill for several days
after the close of debate, and thus Mr.
Hoar's amendment, if adopted, would be
inoperative as to the date of taking the vote.
But tbe important feature of the pro
posed amendments is that they render nuga
tory the very thing aimed at in the Quay
resolution, because they provoke tbe Demo
crats to a bitter and perhaps interminable
fight There is as yet no rule by which de
bate on the Quay resolution, with these
amendments, can be brought to a close. A
new resolution would seem to be in order,
forcing a time when discussion on these
propositions shall end.
THE TARIFF BILL MAY SUFFER.
The Democrats declare they will fight the
amendments as long as they are allowed to
utter a word, and they vow they will not be
s'hnt off. They would have accepted the
Quay resolution and have gladly ended de
bate on the tariff bill with the end of Aug
ust,, but the amendments have made
them gird on their armor afresh and they
swear that the tariff bill and elections bill
shall go down with all other legislation if
consummate cunning and unflagging ag
gression and belligerence can accomplish
that end, rather than that the elections bill
shall pass.
How the Bepublicans who support the
Quay resolution will treat the Hoar amend
ment is another consideration that adds
interest to the situation. Will they vote
with the Democrats against the amend
ments and adopt tbe Quay resolntion free of
these riders? It is whispered they will, and
it is whispered that they have already agreed
to the amendments hnt that T am ivruinnlW
assured, is not the fact as regards nil thn !?X?'r:

DETNK IN THE M0BNING.
If a Man Nsver Walts Until He Is Thirsty
He'll Stand Heat Belter.
Comfort in summer depends almost as
much on the food and drink that are taken
into the system as on the clothing, says the
New York Sun. A mistake many men
make is not to drink until tbey are tbiisty
aud not to drink anything at all cool until
they are hot A man may get up in the
morning and feel fairly comfortable; he will
eat his breakfast and drink but little.
When he gets to his work it will be warmer
and he will be warmer; he will then drink
Deer, soaa water, lemonade or ice water. In
a little while he will be thirstier and he will
drink some more of the same. From this
time on, as the thermometer rises, he will
become hotter and thirstier.
It is not that he has not taken enough
fluid to quench any amount of thirst, but that
the fluid was not taken until he was thirsty
and therefore does not quench his thirst at
,once. Eating satifies hunger almost at once,
but the food is not taken into the system for
several hours, until the digestion and the
assimilation are completed. It is so with
thirst even more than with hunger. Thirst
is a local-feeling, but it means that there is
not enough water in the system. Pouring
Haiei uunu us mroat puts water into tne
stomach, but not into the system for some
time afterward, particularly if the water is
coia. vouee ana tea quench thirst more
rapidly when they are hot than when they
are cold, because they are assimilated more
quickly.
The best tfme to drink is in the morning.
The stomach is empty and the fluids will be
carried throngh the system and into the
blood more speedily. A pint of moderately
cool water then will do more to relieve thirst
during the day than ten glasses ot beer or
soda water in the afternoon. A man is
somewhat like a locomotive; if the water is
not judiciously administered to the boiler
there is an explosion. The time to lay in
the supply of fluids fs before the man starts
for the day. If he wants to drink anymore
he may drink it slowly, and should not
have it so cold that it will inflame the throat
and the stomach and make them warmer.
A cold bath makes the skin glow with
warmth. So a cold bath of ice water in its
reaction warms the throat and stomach.
