Besriti cf tie Lei&Eg Turf Events J Gcrtral Sport ing Nore cf the Dy. The organization known in and about Pittsburg as the "United Hunting, Fishing nnd CatnpiDg Clubs" is almost extinct. This may be a surprise to many people, but it is none the less true. Such clubs as the Pittsburg Hod aud Gun Club, the Lotus and the Keystone Clubs have quietly dropped out of membership, and there is now nothing left of the once lamous "United" but a few small clubs. The almost total destruction of the "Unitea" concerns tuonsands of people in Pittsburg and counties adjacent to Allechcnv couuty. The camping and hunting season has just ended, and after all the excitement of the excursions there is a very strong resrjjt that the general organiza tion is likely to go out ot existence. It has done scrvice.and good service, during its opera tions, anil because it could not do something beyond t'ie law of the land the hig clubs have lettit. A prominent member ot the Pittsburg Bod and Gun Clun said IjM evening: "I lear our general organization is gone. Be cause it cuulu not get special railroad rates in opposition to the inter-State commerce law, lot of clubs lime left it. At present it is really dead. It has done good, because we now have a ffsh warden and orlier methods or pro tecting nshing and sporting interests that would hate never been had the United not existed. I hope that the big clubs that have dropped out of membership w ill return, because we can do a great amount of good by being organized." An attempt will he made shortly to resusci tate the clnb at once. The local nshing clubs generally, that have had excursions during the summer, are all delighted with their trips. As a rule the club hae been in the old direction, viz.: among the lakes. The Pittsburg Htl and Gun Club has been an exception. That C'tib ueiit to Chesapeake Kay and enjojed the silt water. Ncvt year the club will go there ngain. It is a dewalion irom the old rule, but the members of the club think that a trip to the place named is one of the finest treats they could possibly have. Already the clnb has en gaged a schooner for SHI per day. It has ac coiumoaations for more than all the club, nnd was built three years airo at a cost of 6.000. The members of the club will publish their re port pointing out the pleasures of a seaside trip. Despite thelfact that the United is not alto gether in existence the regular reports of tue clubs that have bad excursions will be printed. 1 hey will appear shortly. ISrookh it Beat Thcin. fSPECIAI. TELLCKAU TO THE PISPATCII.l Beaver Falls October T. The exbimtion game of baseball at th s place this afternoon between tbe Pittsbnrg and Brooklyn teams of the Players' League was witnessed by about J.000 people.

If money conld do it McKinley would be elected, but in my opinion nothing can save him. Stark county may go Bepublican by abont 200. but I think it will be about an even result there. Medina will go Bepublican by about 1.200.

TELEGUAM TO TUE DISPATCH.1 Washington, Pa., October 7. The West murder trial was resumed at 9 o'clock. Dr. Prench testified that all three of the Crouch family were killed by blows on the neck that had sev ered the vertebra?. Justice McCormick, of Uentleysvlllo, testified that he had charge of the inquest held after the murder; that the search of the house revealed $316 60 hidden in different places; that there were some evi dences of the house having been searched. The letter found in West's trunk, a tender missive to Miss Anna Brnndage, was presented In evidence. Alpheus Crawford testified that the prisoner had been treated as a friend by the murdered family. Tho testimony of other witnesses tended to prove that West knew of the sums of money kent in the honse. Charles Hoover, ot Allegheny City, said that he saw West at the Allegheny market the 12th of May. West had presented ,an order from his uncle, Basil Barker, for Si 50. He paid him tbe money, and the order afterward proved to be a forgery. Tbis was corroborated by Barker himself. 'Squire McCormick, who had impaneled the Jury. gave some interesting testimony con cerning the discoveries at the house, and cor roborated much testimony that had been given previously. Witness testified that the search made in tbe honse revealed abont $346 in money and almost $2,000 in notes and papers. Squire McCormick's testimony was followed by some important testimony from the fore man of the Coroner's jnry. A. T. Bayard. Ho noticed a chnrn partly filled with bntter and milk at the honse of the Crouches on the morn ing after the murder. This churn was sitting just outside the kitchen door.

Other witnesses testified tbat West was acquainted with the Crouch famiiy and' had frequently been at the house several times in recent years. West accomoanied An drew Crouch to the house and got money with which to pay the fitted hands. He knew where the familv kept their money, and had often said he liked to work for tbem because they had plenty of money. Testimony was introduced Oy persons from Sewickley to show that West had worked there during a part of Am-il and May; that he had drawn money from his employer and left In the afternoon of May 8. His course was then fol lowed to Monongahela City. He was accom panied bv Annie Brundage and a little boy. The two latter persons were left at the Milgus House, and West was seen going to Bentleys ville on foot. Testimony was then introduced showing that tracks had been mide about the Crouch residence, which led from west's home to the homestead, and from there by a roundabout route to Monongahela City. There West met Annie Brundage again. The shoes that were found in Wen's trunk at Beaver Falls were identified, and it was conclusively proven that the tracks were made by the shoes or ones ex actly like tbem. Much testimony was introduced concerning tbe motive for the perpetration of tbe crime. In tbe afternoon it was proved that Westhad been seen going to Monongahela City on the night of the murder; that he shunned people, and that he lied about his errand to Bentloys ville. Thomas Coyle was the principal witness up to the hour of adjournment, who had iden tified West on his way to Monongahela City. CATHOLIC NATIONAL UNION.
