In the court to-daj- Judee Garrison directed the atten tion of the grand jury to the racing and to the fact that Guttenberg and all the other tracks in the State had been closed. The gamblers have taken warning and closed up the faro banks. The races draw from 5,000 to 10,000 persons each day, and the pool selling is very heavy. The charge of the Judge created a great sensation at the track to-day. A CLEVELAND MYSTEET. Some Guessing as to Who the New Pitcher For Thnt Club Is. Kegarding the signing of a pitcher by the Cleveland club the Cleveland leader has.the following to say: There has been considerable conjecture in local baseball circles as to the pitcher that the Cleveland club had signed for next season. One certainly had been signed, and it was currently reported that he was as good as any in the profession. Owing to the fact that Manager Tebeau had met Mc Mahon, of the Baltimores, at one time dur ing the past season, the impression got abroad that he had been the man secured. Such was not the case, although the Cleve land club would not be averse to securing Mc5Iahon's i ame to a contract Last night information was obtained, through the medium of a private telegram sent from Chicaco, that the Cleveland club had signed a pitcher in one of the "Western clubs of the American Association. As there was no one in the Colum bus or Louisville clubs that Cleveland particularly wanted, and as Stivetts, of St. Louis, had already signed with Boston, the Milwaukee club was the only one left from which Cleveland could probably have se cured a pitcher. There is one pitcher in the Milwaukee club universally conceded to bo one of the best young twirlers in the coun try. He is a man of the most exemplary habits, and his record the past season has been such as to cause many people to pre dict that he will one day be classed among the very best of the country. His name is Danes, and as Cleveland, during th sum mer, once missed an opportunity to sign him, the chances appeared that Davies micht be the man. Secretary Hawley was asked whethersuch was the case. ''I am sorry," said he, "not to be able to give any more definite reply than I have in the past I have been asked if we had not signed this man and that man, and circumstances have compelled me to make the same answer that is, not much of an answer at all. We have signed a new pitcher and we think he is a good one. At the proper time we will give his name. In justice to an agreement made with the plaver we are not at liberty to do so at pres ent" KEEPING IT SECEET, The Association Plotters 3Ioving in a Myste rious Way at Chicago. CHICAGO, Oct 15. Special There is an air of secrecy about the affairs of the new Association club in this city that is in keeping with the body to which it belongs. The Association's whole history has been one of intrigue and secret meetings, and its new member seems to be a worthy addition to such a class. The new club stockholuers held a meeting yesterday, elected a Board of Directors, and transacted other business, yet those who arc known to be connected with the club deny that tbey have anything to tell and are bound to secrecy. The club alo declares that it has secured grounds, yet it refuses to tell even on what side they arc located. Von der Abe and Comiskey attended the races vestcrday and left for Sioux Citv last night Comiskey called on .Tim Hart fn the morning, and as a result his suit against the Chicago club for money due him from the Players' League club in this citv last vear has been withdrawn. He was paid the ac count in full, some 51,300. Being ques tioned in regard to his plans for next, season THE PITTSBURG- j he said he might be found with St Louis, j but that he had not signed there and would j not for seme time. He would go where the most money was offered him. TKYIHG 10 ABEAHGE MATTERS. Representatives of Tale and Harvard Mak IiiB Efforts to Fix a Date. Cambridge. Mass., Oct 15. Special' Whether Harvard is to play Yale and on what date is one interesting football topic, and whether she will play Princeton and when is another. Uothing has been done about arranging the game with Yale. Harvard has always takcu the initiative in the matter of ar rangement, but this year, owing to the fact that she beat Yale last fall, she feels that she must wait for an offer or challenge from the other side. But there is not the slight est doubt that the game will take place. Yale could not afford to let the opportunity slip by of regaining her laurels lost last vear. even if she had only a mediocre team ! herself. With the fine eleven that she actually has she is all the more eager to tackle Harvard. A prominent member of the Athletic Committee said to-day that he would give up prophecy and the right to express an in telligent opinion forever if Yale did not play this fall. He considered it as good as settled. A well-known Yale athlete in the law school here also expressed himself as certain that Yale would issue a challenge to the Harvard eleven very soon. As to the date no one could get far off the track. The Boston newspapers have placed it as No vember 21 and laughed in glee over their wisdom and foresight. In fact, the game could not conveniently take place on any other date. H0N0BED THEIB CHAMPIONS. The East End Gyms Tendered a Splendid Itanquet by Their Friends. An elegant banquet was tendered the baseball team of the East End Gymnastic Club last evening at the Hotel Duquesne. The ball team, as is well known, won the County League pennant this year, and as a result the Gymnastic Club mem bers and friends are proud of them. The banquet tendered them proved this beyond all doubt, as it was one of the first-class kiud. About GO members of the club and friends were present. Before the report was commenced with, Mr. W. S. Attcrbury called upon the sport ing editor of this paper to present the ban ner in the absence of A. G. Pratt, the donor. The presentation was made and as the even ing progressed exceedingly interesting snecches were made by President Barbour, o"f the ball team. Mr. Atterbury, Prof. Kirchner, Tom Fullwood, A. G. Cratty and Mesrs. Vincent, Edwards and others. Beally an interesting and humorous even ing was spent The history of the club was fully gone into and it has a very flattering history indeed, having made remarkable progress during the last five years. THEIR NOTE PROTESTED. Boston Association Club's Proprietors are Called to Account at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Oct. 15. When the Cin cinnati Club was sold to the Players' League last October, President Aaron Stern receiv ed in part payment five 54,000 notes. One was given by Al Johnson, another by the gentlemen now interested in the Boston Association Club, and the remaining three were assumed by the National League. All were regularly paid when they fell due save one, and that was the note of the Boston people. The note was given by Hart, Prince, Haines and DixwelL It should have been paid on October 1, but the note was protested. The notes were sold by President Stern to the bankers Kuhn & Co., and legal proceed ings will be at once instituted against the Boston quartet The case of Al Johnson against the League is still hanging fire in the courts here, and the action of the Boston people will strengthen, it is believed, Johnson's claim to the property. LOCAL BASEBALL GOSSIP. President O'Xcil and Pitcher Kins Say a Few Words About Salaries. President O'Neil, of the local club, and Charley King passed a few pleasantries yes terday afternoon. The former said: "Well, Charley, wliat are your terms now for next year?" "1 have raised $1,500, and that makes my my figure 50,500," replied King. "You must wait and see what those who are going to run the club will give you," was'Mr. O'Neil's rejoinder. Subsequently King stated that he wasnot in a signing humor at present, and does not care to talk business to anybody. Regarding new players for the local team, President O'Neil stated that none of the club officials have heard from Manager Mc Gunnigle yet. He is trying to sign a pitcher, a third baseman and two outfielders. L0ED HAWKE'S TEAM. A Grand Keceptlon Arranged for the En glish Cricketers at Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 15. A meeting of the Chicago Cricket Club was held yesterday alternoon at Kinsley's to make final ar rangements for the match with Lord Hawke's eleven of English gentlemen on Friday and Saturday next at Parkside. Dr. E. R Ogdcn presided. The different com mittees reported that preparations had been made for seating a large number of specta tors both in and outside the clubhouse. American and English flags in large num bers had been secured to decorate the grounds, and Mr. Smiley had been given charge of the commissariat department. The sale of tickets was reported to be going on fast, and if the weather is fine a large at tendance is expected. At Philadelphia the ground was filled on the occasion of the match witli the elite of the city, the four-in-hands and other equipages turning out in style. As a rule live lords are supposed to be too lazy to exert the muscles sufficiently to play cricket, but in this eleven are two noble lords, one of whom is the master spirit of the team. It is expected that Chicago's Four Hundred will turn out almost as fully as they do on Derby Day. The visitors will probably not arrive until Thursday night, and they will be driven to the grounds in a tally-ho on Friday, through Jackson Park, so as to give them a glimpse of the World's Fair buildings. On Saturday night a ban quet will be given the eleven at Kinsley's. THEIB SECOND BOUND. Very Interesting Association Football Games Scheduled for To-JIorroir, The second round of games in the com petition of the Western Pennsylvania Foot ball League will be played to-morrow. The Pittsburg team will have as their guests the Homestead players, who made such a close fight with the McKeesports last Saturday. The game will take place at Recreation Park, play commencing at 4 o'clock. Last Saturday the ground was in a very rough state, whiph made combination al most an impossibility, but several men have been busy during the week putting it in first-class condition, so that everything promises to be favorable for a good exhibi tion of the dribbling game. A great contest will be that between the McKeesports and McDonalds, which falls to be played rn the ground of the former. McKeesport will do everything in their power to turn the tables on the champions, as they have not forgotten that only the McDonalds stood between them and the pennant last year. Bloomfield travel to New Castle to meet the club of that name. Both are looked upon as the dark horses in the League, and it is hard to say who will come out ahead. DISPATCH, FRIDAY; . OCTOBER 16, 189L; The game is expected to be close and excit ing, however. A Sharpshooters' Contest. j McKeesport, Oct 15. Special An in teresting match of the sharpshooters ot the members of the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Itegiments and Battery B for the gold medals took place at the Salt Works range to-day, and was warmly contested.

The Western Association champions played the Chicago team three sanies for the championship of tho West and the Sioux City aggregation won, taking two out of three games. Julian B. Hart Is a very nervy young man. He thinks he can induce Hutchison, Dahlen, Burns and a few others to put their names to Association contracts. 'Hutch" and Burns were the only players who re fused to yield to tho tempter in '90, and it Is absu d to believe that Hart can succeed where men of the personal popular ity and magnetism that Addison and Weid enleller possessed failed.

The board, which had held meetings in Toronto.Montreal andQue bec recently, and was compelled to adjourn in the last named city on account of the ill ness of members of the board, will devote some time to finishing their reports to the General Assembly, which meets at Toledo November 10. It is believed, however, that something of unusual importance to the Ifmghts in tms locality has brought the Executive Board to Scranton. This region was formerly one of the Knight's greatest strongholds, and there is an impression abroad that the board will try to ascertain why the order has dwindled here.

The farmers named the date as February 22, while the Knights had fixed npon July 29. The Knights agreed to change their date to February 22, so that the federation of in dustrial and agricultural organizations may be made strong and harmonious. Speaking about the order, General Master Workman Powderly said it was doing well. In Canada, which the board recently vis ited, it is very prosperous and the members are determined.

Ore That Assays Three Hundred Ounces t White Hetal to the Ton.' A GEEAT STAMPEDE FOR THE HIUK West Superior, "Wis., Oct. 15. Silver, apparently in great quantities, has been found within 20 miles of this city, and already the mining ciaie has affected the whole town. Ore has been brought into town which assays over 300 ounces of silver to the ton, and the deposits are said to bs very extensive. The find was made by "W. C. Tonken, a practical miner from Nevada. Surrounding this city at a distance of 7 to lo miles is a rough range of hills, semi circular in form, rugged and almost precip itous. It is heavily wooded and indented by deep gullies that render driving almost impossible and which have prevented thorough exploration of the range. The lower portion of the elevation is fairly ap proachable, and more than 20 years ago copper was found in such quantities as to give the range of hills the title by which they are now known, "Copper" Eange. The mineral was found in its native state, but the top formation convinced miners that the cost of taking the metal out would not warrant the putting in of a prospect plant on a large scale. The increased value of the timber on the range has recently caused settlers and lum bermen to push further up the slopes, and a large vein of copper on the surface, which was discovered by the hunters, attracted the attention of miners to the locality, and a verv little urosDeciinz showed the presence of native silver and sulphurets in such quantities mat an auacne oi iue sineiung works undertook a thorough investigation. W. C. Tonken, of Nevada, was commis sioned to undertake the investigation, and a month ago he disappeared in the foot hilla of the range with orders to settle the ques tion. WHAT IED TO THE ITSD. A few miles from the city he met a wood man who had in a gully picked up a piece of silver weighing over a pound and nearly 85 per cent fine. The man was pressed' into service and a thorough prospect of the place of his find followed. A few days"' work convinced Tonken that the silver found was apart of the washings from the almost in accessible heights above the ravine, and proof of the rich minerals in' the ledges was found in paying quantities.: Tonken packed up a hundred pounds of the washings and brought it into, town. An assay showed results little less than marvelons.tseveral specimens of the ore running from 300 to COO ounces to the ton. The "strike" was kept very dark, and when Tonken went back he was equipped for a thorough prospect, though his party was necessarily small. On September 28 prospecting was begun on the hillside above where the first silver had been found. The indications were fairly good, but the Ne vada miner was confronted with a new geo logical order and he could not account for the croppings of the white metal which he found in trap formation. When he forced his way to the lower ledge on the side of the gully the signs changed and the trap disappeared to give place to silica and on the first ledge which gave him a foothold the prospector turned out a rich silicate with free silver and snl phurets in sufficient quantity to thrill him with the prospect of wealth. He left hi3 assistants at work on the prospect and came to the city under cover, found the owner of the land on which he had made the strike, and within 24 hours was the owner of an option for the purchase of a half interest'in a section of land on the mountain side,, which, unless it is rich in ores, is worth ex actly the price of the timber growing on it developing the prospect. "With the option in his pocket Mr. Tonken became a little more communicative and be gan to talk. He was laughed at and went back to his prospect to develop it further. His men had got out a considerable quan tity of dirt, but the direction of the practi cal miner had been lacking. His only bag gage in tramping back by the range was a quantity of blasting powder and he put the men to work drilling. All day Sunday, October 4, the drilling and blasting went en, and the last blast after dark Sunday even ing dislodged an immense pile of the soft formation, sending tons of dirt and rock into the gulch below, and very nearly cost the adventurers their lives. At dawn Tonken went down himself, and says that when he saw what the blast had laid bare he did not call down the men, though it cost him an effort to contain him-' self. About 30 yards of the ledge had crashed into the ravine through the effects of the blast, and everywhere along the newly exposed surface the free metal glis tened in its bed of silica. He called to the . men to throw down ropes and sacks and as much dirt and rocks as they could carry he picked out in handfuls at random, along the whole race of exposed surface, and the party came in loaded with wealth and presenting an appearance of having received some hard knocks. Climbing up and down hill sides had reduced their clothing to tatters and bruised them badly. THE ORE BICH 331 METAL. The result of 13 assays made to-day at the West Superior Smelter CompanWs works show that the ore ranges from 30 ounces, the lowest, to 312 ounces of pure silver to the ton, with an average of over 50 ounces. Tonken says there is enough in sightto pay for building a railroad and leveling the range. The peculiar nature of the forma tion made experienced men hesitate to ac cept as true the reports of the silver find, but the men brought in the metal, and that settled it "When the story was verified there was a stampede for the hills, and to-daythe wood are full of prospectors, and capitalists are cultivating Tonkon. Land on the copper range is worth a good deal more to-night than it was this morning, and hundreds of dollars per acre are contemptuously refused for hilly tracts that would not brings many cents ten days ago. Tonken's strike is in town 48, range 13, but the section M not known. A DEADLOCK IS SUGAB. The Ifew Bounty law Causes a Scriotu tot of Trouble for Planters. New Orleans, Oct 15. Special The new sugar bounty law has been found to work very badly here so far and to interfere seriously with the marketing of the crop. The sugar is already arriving in consider able quantities, for as there are no import; ers or weighers yet in the country the plant, ers have shipped their sugar to New Orleani to be weighed and inspected here. The local officials are not ready for work and the whole system is so slow and tedious that under present regulations it will take until next summer to arrange the boui In the meanwhile the planters are-anaMrt to sell their goods until the matter of bounty is settled and the hitch has caused a com plete deadlock in the sugar trade and threatens to cause'a great deal of injury. A meeting of the Sugar Exchange was held to-day to consider the matter, and a confer ence with the officials of the Internal Ke venue Bureau was determined on, at which a change will be made in the bounty regula tions, so as to expedite the work oi inspec tion.
