will not 10 reached till Tuesday. It is common
talk tonight tnat Jake Nunnemachor is to be &C.

nnoft is being made to keep the facts secret, but
there is no doubt that attempts Of this kind are
suspected, ii not positively known.
HISSDkOFF
Tne decision Of Commissioner Bloodgood. in the
Klndskopf case. finds that the distile1y. actually
belonged to Lewis Riudskopf, although run IN
another name since October last, and denis ex-
haustiveiy with the evidence, coming to the con-
clusion that the testimony failed to show that
defendants had guilty knowledge or were par
6cipants IN any Of the frauds charged, hence
they 6ere all discharged. :.

THE INITIAL EXPULSION.
The Chicago Club has receiTed notification
from the Secretary Of the League that James
Hoidsworth haa signed contract With the Mutual
Club for the season Of 1876. vice William J.
Boyd, expelled. This is thu first case OF erpul-
sion that has occurred uuder the Leagne rules,
worthy Of note as illustrating tie working Of
the new organization In the FIRST place,
Mr. Cammeyer, manaHer Of the club which
e1pels Boyd, does not make public any reason
for tho sa1ne-he inst simply says that tho man
is expelled, and that IL all. This action preyeuts
Boyd from playing in any League Club until he
il relnstated by the Board OF Directors Of tho
League, and, lnasnuch IA that body will not
meet until after the present season haa closed,
the fiat Of expulsion practically forbida any
club from hiring Boyd tnis year. This nccma
rather one-aided. but there is perfcot recourse
In tha League rules for even m apparcp&
injustice. Whatever may have been Tho pauao
Of the expulsion OF Boyd, that player l,ae tue
right OF appeal and OF redress II worthy. ilc
must first certify under oath that ho tias not
been guilty OF any conduct deserving expulsion.
and that puts the Club On its proof and It must
produce testimony to convince tho Board. OF
course, Boyd has thapower to produce auy ro-
nurting testimony in his own behalf and the
case must be decided on its merits, tho member
Of the Board from tho expelling Club not being
allowed to sit in trial Of the caae,
But the casual observer will say that the nero
suspension sill work hardship 10 the player ~
laying him of Tor year. The answer Is that
tbs Board have power, il they find tho Club in
the wrong, to compel it to pay full 5enrs SAL
ar7 to the player. though be may mover have

between the employer and the employed, giving
to the former the power to expel 3 man, but

and legally, TO: his actioua. It is az near per

CURED. aud Shane shot Ji]z, inalcting what is
believed to be mortal wound. Jilz then ehot
young Shane, woundfag him very seriously
The facts in tho case arc not all known
yet, but it appears that Jiiz did seduce shane'a
Blstar, and subsequently produced an abortion
upon her. Mrs. Shane, The mother OF rhe youpg
lady, has civil suit now pending in the Circuit
Court against Jilz 1or seduclnc her daughter,
and few daya ago instituted criminal proceedings
against him. Jilz Is wealthy Iuan, but bears
very bad reputation. having been divorced in an
alleged irregular way from one wife, and is now
living apart from bis second wife
Young Shane waa shot four times aud has
alnce died. Jifz was shot twice, once through

thus made became intimate, and although
Jilz was married man, it is al
