FOLEY'S TER LNTEKESTIXG LET1EE.
A Hone Footbtll Gtm on Clmtau General
Eyortiig News cf the Day.
There Is some safety in sayinp that the
local baseball club has been organized; that
is, the local potentates have agreed amonjj
themselves to elect officers and depend more
or less on all the rights and privileges that
a New Jersey charter will give them.
A!ter all the talk, Mr. J. Palmer O'Neill
did not buv Mr. Ximick or Mr. Converse
out. therefore Mr. O'Neill does not own the
entire new club, and Mr. Nimick really has
some little say in it. He is not yet made a
director, but certainly with all shortcomings
and all overflowings on this side or that, it
would scarcely be fiir to leave Mr. Nimick
outside a Board ot Directors who are to'try
and guide our national game here next
year.
Mr. O'Neill stated yesterday that he had
not been in Chicago trying to get money
to buy Mr. Nimick out Mr. O'Neill,
stated that everything had been harmon
louly arranged; that Mr. Nimick was a very
"magnanimous gentleman." Mr. Nimick, it
may be stated, voted for Mr O'Neill to be Presi
dent of the new club. The fnrmer in a very gen
tlemaUy waj remarked: "Mr. O'Neill desires
the position of President of tbc club, and be is
wanted bj a majority of the directors to fulfill
that position. He has my vote, and I only hope
he will land our club where, under strange cir
cumtauce, I hac striven to land it. Mr.
O'Neill starts oat under more favorable cir
cumstances than have ever bocn known here
"before. I wish him well."
Mr. Nimick maae the above remarks before
the important meeting. The meeting was held
at the office of Attorney Schojer. and it was
agreed to organize under the New Jersey char
ter with a caDital stock of So.000. TUe entire
stock, in accordance with lesal requirements or
privilege', villi be made into $100,000.
The papers were soon signed and the
yearnings of J. Palmer O'Neill were set at rest
D) his being elected President ot the new club.
He deserves the poition becanse he has
worked for it and moved heiven and earth to
get it. It all hopes are fulfilled, Mr. O'Neill
wilt land our club in a good position. At anv
rate, if we do not get a winnug team it will
not be because cf anv lack of energy on his
part to cue us a winner. Mr. H. II. Ilea was
inide Vice President, an excellent choice. He
is a good business wan and bvs no extravagant
aspirations for prominence. The P. L. people
did well in nominating Mr. Hcaand would just
have done as well in naming Mr. McCalhn.
Thejhad sinie good men. Mr. It B. Hrown.
representing Mr. Converse, was elected treas
urer, and our old and tried friend, the faithful
Al. fccandrett, was elected secretarj. Al. has
been there before manv a time, ami what he
does not know about ibe business and of a ball
dun is not worth mentioning.
Altogether we ought to he plca'ed becanse a
new club has been organized, notwithstanding
all the personalities and ambitions that have
made things unpleasant. Efforts will now be
commenced to secure good players. The mag
nates did talk a little j cterday about the cae
of Manager W . V. lluruhatn. A few weeks
ago ho was verbally ana very pointedly en
gaged here to manage the club for next year.
He vasactuallj sentforto visit the city and
after coimnc here was given dehmtclv to un
derstand bv several magnates that he was en
gaged to manage the club here next year.
After dealing with a gentleman in this way he
has been told that he was not w-intcd here at
all; in facr, one prominent magnate who was
elected to a high position jesterday, said, re
ferring to Mr. Burrham's case:
He must fall like all other trah."
Mr. Burnham is a stranger to Pittsburg and
he is a gentleman.
FOLEY'S EACY LETTES.
The Jloston Baseball Veteran Gives a few
Interesting Pointers on the Situation.
tconr.EsroNDECE or the dispatch. 1
Bostov, Dec iL There is no change in the
baseball situation at this end of the line, but a
gentleman, who is on the mside with Al Spald
ing, tells me that there is a strong probability
ot Boston being admitted to membership in the
American Association. Spalding was here
during the fore part of last week, and be found
the triumvirs kicking very hard over the pro
posed new deal w hich ould give the American
Association a franchise in this great ball town.
The "triums ' will find it impossible to buy out
the Brotherhood backers as they (Brotherhood
backers) are bound to have a club located at
the Congre-s street grounds at the opening of
next season. The Association people, to a man
want Boston and Chicago in their circuit, and
the triumvirs may cave in rather than have a
in in pus with the American Association. Presi
dent prince, of the P. L. club, is pegging away
ana wants a decision from Spalding at the
very earliest date, and shculd he (Prince) find
continued opposition to his team entering the
Association, be willbezin at once to bnild up an
organization that will include teams in Brook
lyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveiand,Cincinnati
and other cities.
Wagner, of Philadelphia, is with the P. L.
officials ot this cii. and be will not take the
Athletic franchise if Boston and Chicago are
thrown down, lo a man up a tree it looks as If
bpaldmg bad promised the Association moguls
a Boston franchise to strengthen up their
organization boden looks upun an Association
rival w ub mere f av or than his partners, Conant
and Billings for he is willing to make any
reasonable concession rather than leave any
old wounds that may bre.iL. fortti again at some
unexpected moment. Conant and Billinirs are
obdurate, but Soden has the most 4swag" laid
away for a ram day, and if he favors the lo
cation of an Association team here, bis part
ners must let go, bard as the blow will be.
Soden is as much opposed to the location of a
second club here as bis partners, but the
league Committee Spalding. Day and Bvrne
were given instructions to Iix up matters, and
ir it comes to the worst, Soden w ill abide by
their decision.
John B. Day received a big set-back during
the fight, and be is opposed to the scheme of
locating another club Lore. John B. has good
reasons for being a little 'lcerv" of an Associa
tion opponent in this city, for his strong New
York team pulled off a small cart load ot money
here in lfebS and 1SS9 In three games in lbS9 the
Aew Yorks drew 32.000 people, or nearly 11,000
toag-iuie Ihiswasm August, and the Pitts
Imrc clnb w as responsible for this outpour of
baseball enthusiasts, as they beat New York
three straight games, thereby shoving Boston
to the head position in the League race. After
Pittsburg humiliated New York, thelatter team
came to Boston number two, and this is why
Boston was "-o excited. Under favorable cir
cumstances Boston can easily support two
clubs, but a strong Association rival would cut
down the big pron.s of the past, which will be
a loss to the Bostons and all other
League clubs. As I hav e said before, the New
Yorks were the great drawing card here "in
1SS9. their ten games oeing attended by nearly
90,000 people. Who can blame John B. Day for
opposing a strong opposition team in this city?
Mr. Dav is giving tatf y to some "hard-up-for-nes
reporters," and he has actually made
some of these gallant knights of the
pencil believe that ew Haven would be a
letter town for the Association than Boston!
This outburst or logic on Mr. Day's part
bruught Dutch Von der Ahe out ot his little
log cabin, and Chris cries "Ratsl" while Billy
Barnie, who is more polished tban his St. Louis
confrere, simply sajs Cbestnutsr'
The Botonnlavcis League and Brotherhood
seem to be dead to the work'. Kelly is living
in his mansion at Hiugham and takes life very
easv, pending the settlement of affairs in this
city. Kelly writes to President Prince in this
strain: "I am with the Players' League through
thick and thm and don't ever think otherwise."
Although Kelly is reported to have signed a
League contract, I still believe that he will
stick with his old employers unless the look
ahead is decidedly dark. Then, of course, no
body could blame him for getting in out of the
wet and protecting himself.

John Dixon called at this office last evening
and left the following challenge to those who
have been talkiug about bis shooting abilities:
I will bet J50 or JlOO that I can kill 8 pigeons
out of IS '.live pigeons) with log shot, 21 yards

W0HSE IHAN HYPBOTISIL
Onr Old Friend Frank Get! Into Some
Mnnderlng Baseball Confidences.
The following is part of an article written by
F. H. Brunell. He actually signs his name to
it. It is only reprinted to show the possibilities
of hypnotism, or it may be insanity:
Last week's confidential circular to the men
under contract to the Plajers' League Clubs
outlined tho situation exactly as it stands and
contained a plain business proposition to the
men. Already Vice President Johnson has re
ceived some 40 replies and, outside of three or
four from men with old "sure thing" records,
the letters show anxiety to go on with the
Players' League. Four of the Cleveland men
hav; offered to cut their 1S00 salaries 40 per
cent, and Darby O'Brien, who is coaching the
College team at Tory, N. Y writes Johnson:
Fix my salary yourself." A conference be
tween representatives of the clubs now m the
Players' League will, if possible, be held
within tho next ten days. So far. Boston,
Brooklyn. Cleveland. Buffalo and Philadelphia
and Cincinnati are left and two new cities have
asked for places. It is very possible to go on
with a new circuit for 1&I1.- The money to go
on under certain economical conditions as
broad or broader than those contemplated bv
the National League is already offered. It will
bo far cheaper for the clubs who cannot settle
their local values to go on than to sell to the
National League for Utile or nothing.
Football Christmas Day.
Secretary George Macpberson, of the West
ern Association Football League, states that
the game scheduled for Christmas day will
take place if the weather Is at all Seasonable.
AUother gvmes scheduled tor that dav will
also take place. The game at Exposition Park

succeed.

CHARLES CROCK'S PECULIAR ACCIDENT
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE DISrATCH.t
ScoifDALD, Dee. 22. Tho United Mine
"Workers of the entire coke regions will
hold a convention here Friday next and
some important measures will be acted upon.
The new scale as finally prepared by the
Wage Committee, which adjourned Satur
day, will be fully discussed with a view of
adoption. Tne kick of the Mahoning and
Shenango Valley furnacemen on the coke
prices, and their demands of a reduction
from f2 15 to SI 50 per ton, is causing con
siderable agitation in labor circles.
Labor leaders generally uphold the main
tenance of the existing prices on the ground
that the concession of this great reduction
will necessarily reduce the wages of the
miners and cokers. At a meeting of the Ex
ecutive Board held here resolutions wero
adopted favoring a temporary suspension until
the vards conld be cleared of the heavy stocks
of coke caused by the prevailing car shortage.
Hie convention will also act on the question of
tho distribution ot work growing out of the
banking of 25 per cent of the entire number of
ovens.
Labor officials were at Dunbar to-day seeing
to the wants of the 19 widows of the victims of
the Hill Farm disaster. G. H. Swearingen,
treasurer of the relief fund, last week dis
tributed over $214 among the afflicted families.
It is said that ihe families are sorely in need of
assistance, and will likely spend a gloomy
Christmas unless aid Is extended to them by
the benevolent.
HIS OWN ICE BREAKER.
But Then He Eel Into tho Well and Had to
be Hauled Out.
ttrECIAL'TELEUKAlt TO THE DtSPATCK.l
Beaver Falis, Pec 22. Yesterday morn
ing Charles Crock went out to his water well.at
Elwood. on the I. & W. road, and attempted to
draw some water. Failing in this, on account
of the ice in the-well. he tried to break it with
a long polo. This also being unsuccessful, he
conceived the brilliant idea ot crawling down
tho pole, and breaking the ice with h)S feet.
He descended by means of the pole, and was
jumping np and down on the ice, when the
w hole business gave way and Air. Crock went
into the water uo to his neck.
He yelled for help, and tried to climb up the
pole, but weakened by fright and his freezing
bath, be only fell back deeper into the water.
He would have frozen to death had not a
search hv his alarmed family discovered him
at the bottom of the well. After hard work he
was taken out in a bad condition.

WKEKK&W& SUCCESSOR.
Washington lias a Candidate for the Circuit
Judgeship. ,
rSTECIAI, TELEGUAM TO THE DISPATCH.I
Washington-, Dee. 22. This being tho
borne of J udge McKennau, who will retire from
the bench on January 1, 1S91, no little talk has
been aroused as to his retirement and possible
successor. Among those spoken of for tho
office is John W. Donnan. Mr. Donnan is the
gentleman who gave J. C. Mcllvaine a warm
fight forthe Judgeship of this county, and It is
said by the best memhers of the bar here that
he is eminently fitted for the place in every
way.
In case Mr. Donnin shonld be set aside by
the elevation of Judge Acheson, it is likely that
he will be placed in the race hy his friends for
the position made vacant by Judge Acheson's
elevation.

MOVING 05 THE INDIANS.
The Troops Said to bo In Good Position to
Strike a Blow.
Denver, Col., Dec. 22. A special from
Hart's Ranch, near the Bad Lands, says:
Last nignt news was brought in that the
Grangers, on Coal praw, near Battle Creek,
killed an Indian as he, with others, were
trying to set fire to a ranch belonging to a
man named Thomson. This report was veri
fied this morning. About 170 Indians from
the Chevenne agency are known to be com
ing to Short Bull and KickingBear's people
in the Bad Lands.
General Carr and Colonel Sumners with
their forces are now out to intercept them
before they reach the Bad Lands, and a re
port of their capture is momentarily ex
pected. Should they make any resistance a
fight will take place. It is reported that
there are about 500 troops nearing the hos
tile canip, where they are going to make a
strong efiort to bring them in, but no suc
cess is expected lrom this move. Shduld
these Indians from the Uorth succeed in
slipping through the cordon established
around the hostiles, and go into the Bad
Lands, an effort will be made to keep them
there.
It is certain that there are now enough
troops around the Indians to compel their
absolute surrender. Two companies ol the
Seventeenth infantry, comprising over 100
men, reported to General Carr to-day, also
46 Cheyenne Indian scouts reported, which
now brings the strength of this command up
to over 700 meq. A decisive movement of
some kind or another and a skirmish with
these Indians is momentarily expected.
HIS SOUTHERN BLOOD BOILED.
An Italian Whose Jonrnoy Homo Was
Delayed for Awhile.
Andrea Vlarci, of Southern Italy and
Braddock, was at the Union depot last
evening. He came there for the purpose of
traveling to .New York, and thence to Sua
Patria by a Red Star line steamer, being
duly furnished with the necessary docu
ments, properly signed, sealed and paid for.
Signor Vlarci was not alone. He was ac
companied by several compatriots, an in
ability to speak English, a loaf of rye
bread and a load. The manifest, of the
load was not exhibited, but a superficial
examination indicated whisky as the con
tents. Similar manifestations were observ
able in the compatriots.
The voyageurs reached the cars without a
mishap, but hero Andrea came to grief. He
was about to enter a car without the for
mality ot showing a ticket when stopped
by the conductor. He finally produced it,
but in 35 distinct and several pieces. It
would not be accepted; he must get another
or remain behind. Andrea's Southern blood
boiled. He had paid his way and should
travel. The brakeujan was inexorable. Andrea
emphasized his attempts to board the train
by striking the railroader with the loaf, and
then Nemesis intervened in the form of a
depot officer, who transferred Andrea, loaf,
load and all to a patrol wagon. And the
probbailities are that Signor Vlarci's trip
will be postponed.
THE ZEAN BANK FAILURE.
A Large Amaunt of Securities That a De
positor Wants to Recover.
Chicago, Dec. 22. The hearing in the
Keau bank failure case was resumed to-day.
Kean testified that certain shares of stock
of the Postal Telegraph Company, held by
the old firm of Preston, Kean & Co., were
now in the hands of Judge Horton, trustee
ot that firm.
The attorueys for the depositors will claim
that this stock belongs with the assets of the
bank. Mr. Kcan also testified that his wife
owned some real estate, and that she was
good for the $10,000 of her paper held by the
bank.
Clark Woodman, of Omaha, filed a peti
tion in the County Court to-day to recover a
large amount of securities which he sent S.
A. Kean & Co. ou December 11. He S3yi
that the day named he sent two notes for
J-5,000 each and eight notes for $6,000 each,
and a large number of certificates of stock
in the National Linseed Oil Company as
collateral. The notes were to be converted
into cash and the balance held to his order.
He says that one ot the notes has been sold
to the Merchants' National Bank, where the
cash now is, but the balance of the securi
ties are now in the assignee's hand, and they
