Little Diversion.
A gray and long bearded white man
handcuffed to a strapping big colored
gentleman nnd followed by a goodly
representation of the colored popula
tion of Kelly's Patch walknd up Lacka
wanna avenue yesterday afternoon and
as it appeared that no officer had tho
chained indivi Inula iu cu-stody they at
tracted no small nroouut of attention
from the passers by and idlers along
the aveuu As a consequence the col
ored procession was augmented by the
addition of a motley crowd of idlers
and others attracted through curoisity.
It was not nutil the vari-liued couple
halted before the august presence of
Aldermun Fitzsitnmnns. that the largo
crowd of spectators was givn nu ink'
ling of the tmo state of affairs. The
gray, long-boat ded man with a ky,
severed the strong ties whioh bouua
bitu to his colored companion and with
a courtesy worthy of BeuconsfHd, in
troduced himself us Special Officer Dn
Long.
The ridiculousness of tbe vitnatlon
struck all assembled somewhere in the
region of the funny bone and brought
forth hearty gufTiws from all sides
uiucb to tbe embarrassment of the of
ficer. The alderman's sense of hnmor
was afficted, and h decided to give bis
visitors some entertainment. The
special officer was called upon to
tell his story and it transpired that
ho had been made the butt
of a practical joke by big Jim
Clarke, who was culled to assist in the
arrest. Jim made the uninitiated
special oillcer believe that the only
proper way to arrest and safely con
duct such n troublesome looking pris
oner was to be- handcuffed with him.
The special officer consented to be
made au anchor of nnd Clarke quickly
adjusted the brucekts, after which he
started them over town to the honor
able conrt of the Eighth.

and then they explained to the alder
man that they hud gotten into a little

Adams on the head with a atom).
Adi.nis assured the alderman that ''it
didn't hurt a bit" so his honor concluded
to let them settle.
When the legal matters had been at
tended to the alderman bavin; a little
time on his nanus decided to have somu
fun and ordered the erstwhile litiguuta
to ahake hands three times. This being
done- be stated that he was still in
doubt as to whether or not they had
buried tbe hatchet and asked them to
sing a duet as a proof of their brotherly
love for one another.
They sang and one of tbe colored
boys who hiid brought bis banjo along
accompanied them while the entire
colored part of the audience joined in
the chorus. This thing was knit up
until the crowd beoauie so large that
the alderman was compelled to make
them desist and go their several ways.

that It will be one of tbe greatest

The Jadwin Case Will Again
Heard by a Jury Opinion of
Judge Schuyler.
Bo
In an opinion received at the office of
rrothouolarv Fryor yesterdav utter
noon from Judge W. W. Schuyler, of
E.iston, a new trial was grunted in the
case of S. 13, Mott.assignee of the Hyde
Park bauk against Charles P. Judwm.
The case has been in court since May
18S5, On Octobar 1, 1870, S. B. Mott
whs appointed assignee oi the defunct
Hyde Park bank. Anioug the assets
of the institution Mr. Mott found u
note for $7o0 which fell il us on Muy 5,
1870, drawn by Charles P. Jadwiu ami
Hindu payaole to 11. lianrord, casuter
of the Hyde Park bank. It was to re
cover tho face value of this note with
internet that the suit was instituted.
The case bad been tried at a former
term of court, but a juror was with
drawn aud a continuauca ordered by
court.
At May term of common pleas, 1391,
the case was ugtin tried and a verdict
was returned for the plaiotiff in the
sum of $1,410 37 on May 29. 1801. The
defense introduced a motion for a
a new trial on June 1, aud on June 11
Jndgo Schuyler issued a rule to show
cause why i augment should not be ar
rested aud a motion for a new trial
granted. On July 2, notes of evidence
were filed before Judge Suhuyler in
argument court and p ipers and briefs
subnjltle.l. Yesterday Judge Schuyler's
opinion granting a new triul was re
ceived aud recorded. The opinion in
full is as follows:
We think error was committed in roject-
tue oiler to prove by tbe deposition or Air.
Lewis that the bank took possession of the
drug btore aud placed the defendants in
charge in order to realize upon it aud close
up the business, and that the dofendauc
did assume chargo of the store aud close
up the buslnens. It was for the jury to say,
under proper Instructions, wbether the
transaction with Mr. LewUwas intruvlros
or not. If it was, then the bank had a
right to close out the business and to em
ploy tho defendant fur that purpose, for
which service he would be entitled to com
pensation. From our present standpoint
nil this seems too plain for argument.
July 25, lSUi, rule absolute.

Local Base Eall Hon Decide to Remain Where
They Aro.
PUCKER HODSQN THE CAUSE
With Hogan He Refused to Follow the
Other Scranton Players Into the
Eastern League Scranton Is Now
Willing to Listen to Proposals for
Their Sale What Base Ball Men
Have to Say About the Cass.
All the talk about Scranton going
into tha Eastern league has again
ended in smoke. At a late hour last
night it was decided to remain in the
State league because Ilodson and
Ilogan refused to follow the club i .to
lb Eastern.
There was great activity among the
local base ball men nil day yesterday
and ennferenoes of a more or less sec
rut nature were numerous. President
P. T. Powers of the Eastern league,
who arrived in this citv early Monday
morning, was an important personage
at all these meeting
In the afternoon President W. A. St.
John nnd Stockholders Ah x Dunn, jr.,
W. L. Betta, Edward Kotdnaon and Mr.
Jordan, of the lo'-nl nmoriatiou, met
Mr. Powers and E, F. Bogart and
Manager Dan Shuunou, of Wilkej
Btrre, at the Wyoming, and all of the
preliminaries were arrang-.'d for Scran
ton to tuke Troy's placa in tbe Eibtern
league.
An adjoammeut was then taken un
til evrniug, when it was arranged tnut
the local base ball men, the visiting
magnates and the members of the
Scranton club should meet for the pur
pose of transferring the players into
the E.istorn league.
VVHEUE THE HITCH CAME.
All of the players were not ambi
tious to figure in Eastern league base
bull circles but after some little persua
sion they nttaohed their names to
Eastern league contracts with the ex
ception of Pitcher Ilodson and Centre
Fielder Martin llogan.
They are both ambitious young man
aud their good work on the diamond
has attracted the attention of National
leugue managers, who have several
times this season mide overtures to
Suranton for their release. Jmt as
soon as they ascertain that Scranton
was going into tha Eastern league they
decided that the time bad arrived for
them to get Into the Nationul league.
During the afternoon they told
President Powers tbat they would go
go into the Eastern league, bnt the
events of the night changed their de
termination. The wires brought Hod
son an offer of something like $100 a
month from Boston, and Iloan re
ceived quite as flittering an ofLr from
Cincinnati.
Tbat altered matters considerable.
REFU8KD TO SICJN.
These young men are not In the base
ball basinets for their health and after
receiving such oll-rs tbey absolutely
refused to sign an Eastern Leugue con
tract. The Scranton management wired
Boston asking whatit waswilllngto pay
for Ilodson'a releuse. The reply cutne,
"Not a cent," which showed that the
Boston people were tolerably well in
formed as to tbe situation in this city.
President Powers took llogan aside
and spoke long and earnestly in that
fatherly style be is famous for. llogan
could not withstand the torrent and
finally agreed to sign if Hodson did.
Then Scranton's crack pitcher was
sent for and tho work of bringing him
into line was entered upon.
It was a fruitless task.
Ho '.son positively refused to take
chanaes In the Eastern league. He had
been laboring for seven years to
ucbleve bis ambition to become a Na
tional league pitcher and now when
be had an off jr from the Bostons, the
club above ull others tbat he desired to
play with, ho did not propose to throw
it away and possibly ruin his chances
for distinction in the future by going
iuto the Eastern league whioh would
be in the nature of au experiment.
BCBA.NTO.N DECIDES TO STAY.
It would be folly for Scranton to face
the heavy hitters in the Eastern league
with only Flanaghan as a reliable
pitcher. All of tho pitchers of the
Troy club have boen secured by other
clubs with the exception of Donovan,
who would lend but little strength to
Scranton. The Scranton management
therefore decided at a late hour last
night to remain in tbe State league.
At the conclusion of the meeting
President St. John announced to the
group of newspaper men in waiting
that it hud been officially decided to
remain in the State league. Alex. Dunn
stated that inasmuch as Ilodson and
iiogan had been so oontrary, the asso
ciation would show them what they
eovild doln tbat line. Mr.Dunn and Sec
retary Betta thereupon stated for tbe
Wyoming House with tbe expressed
purpose of offering Ilodson and Hogan
for sale to some of the tail end clubs of
National league. By placing these men
in some club that they do not want to
go to they thought they would
thereby be teaching them a salutory
lesson and in plain words get even with
them.
WHAT MR. rOWEUS SAYS,
President Powers wns seen at the
Wyoming House as ho was setting out
for the 11:80 Delaware aud Hudson
train.
''You can say for me." said Mr.
Powers, "that we cams here upon tho
invitation of the Scranton association

ern league. We would like to bava
Scranton in our league, bat as Mr.
Hodson and Mr. Hogan refuse to sign
for the E:ivtern leugne, and as their
absence would greatly weaken the club
nnd their jumping to another club be
a loss of many hundreds of dollars to
tbe Soranton association, we advised
Scranton to remain where they are at
present."
"Her is a little piece of news which
you can also publish. Hodson and
Moaney bavo already signed a contract
with McAloer of Cleveland and they,
McAleer Included, have subjected them
selves to being blacklisted by the na
tional board. I will sue that the case
is culled to the attention of President
Young. I hardly think that Messrs.
Hodson and Hogan have ucted quite
right towarJs the Scrantou association
in this matter. It is evident that they
have bud or ignorant adviser's for they
could not be made to listen
to reason. Thoy were offered
every inducement to stay with
Soranton but still they would not
sign the contract. The management
even went so far us to guarantee them
u raise of salary aud tho further privi
lege of signing with any club they saw
fit to go with at tho end of the season,
or half the bonus tbat would be re
ceived should they be sold. Ai cou-
8i queues they will now have to stay
with the bcrauton duo in the State
league, and at the end of thj season, or
at any tiino botween now aud then,
they will have to go with whatever
club tbe Scrantou association chosws to
sell them to."
''What do you ititund to do with re
gard to filling Troy's pl;u-, uow that
Soranton can not be secured?'' was
asked.
"Well, we will go to Wilkes-Barre
and sleep on tbat quoslion over night,"
was the laconic reply. ''We will t'ave
no trouble gotcing a club as we have
six or seven oil rs for the vacancy, and
tbe terms of tue ulturs are belter than
those which we would exicc from the
Scranton club."
Mr. Powers und Mr. Shannon left on
the 11.35 train aud with them went our
hopes of onturing the Eastern league.
Mr. Powers received two telegrams
from Mr. Myerj, of the Harrisburg
club, yesterday, asking admission to the
Eastern league aud offering to buy
Troy's franchise.
It is understood that Mr. Powers
will visit Allentown today and have a
conference with K-jlly and Johnson
with regard to putting Allentown iu
the Eastern league. Even bad Scran
ton gone into the League it is probable
that Allentown would within a week
or two also have become a member by
the purchase of Binghamton's fran
chise.
UOQAN MAKES A STATEMENT.
Mr. Hogan was in bed long before
the decision of the management bud
been arrived at, but was aroused by a
Tribune reporter about midnight. When
told of the light iu wiiich he wouid be
put before the publia by the state
ments printed above, be said he would
willingly muke a statement of his own
position iu the mutter.
"I have au ambition," said Mr. Ho
gan, "to fiDisli the season with a Na
tional league club so that I may learn
a little something from those big play
ers and have a cnance of getting into
the big league before tbe rush for
places in the spring. The Scranton
club could have let me to three
months ago and could have gotten big
money for my release, bnt they !
would not release me. i did not
object to staying aud if any one
can bring himself to accuse me of
doing anything to hasten my release
let them look to my record. When the
ehange of leagues was talked of and I
saw a chance to get a better position, I
decided to do what any roan in any
business would do, better myself."
Mr. Hogan then produced a telegram
which read us follows:
PiTTSDuno, Pa., July 30.
Martin llogan, Bali Flayer, Scranton:
Will givo you flUO a mouth. Aniwer if
satisfactory.
Comiskey.
'Of courso" said Mr. Hog an "it was
understood by the Cincinnati manager
thut I was at liberty, the papers hav
ing announced that our club was going
into the E.nteru league. Now you can
say for Hod ion aud myself thut we
fully believe that tho Suranton associa
tion is not keeping us as a mattdr of
uffection and that wo ourselves are not
iu the business for love."
Catcher George Rogers was one of a
little knot of bull players standing
about The Tribune waiting for the
news, and when it was announced that
Scranton would remain in the State
league, he expressed himself us well
satisfied, and stated thut the manage
ment, in bis opiuion, had done a wise
thing, His arguments prove thut even
the ordinary player sometimes has a
think factory.
He claimed that the Scranton club
could make mora money iu the State
league than it could rn the Eistern,
notwithstanding that the gunrautee in
the latter is twice as large. He said
it has to bo taken into consideration
tbat railroad fares would be greater,
Bleeping car rates would be a new and
no small item of expanse., board bills
would be about n dollar a day higher,
more mou would have to be
carried, players would no doubt want
as much money as other Easteru
league men were getting and lust, but
not loust, the attendance at the games
of pennuiit winning club in the Statj
league would not bo any larger, if as
largo, us it would be if the club was
in the Eastern loagaei and winning now
and then.
