ges against the board of directors for be-
ing Illegally suspended from the floor.
They charge that they were not given
time to make defense, and that direc-
tor personally hostile to them sat and
voted upon them, and despite their pro-
test. The president of the board of trade
is reported as saying that he believed
Lamson Bros. had good case.
Messrs. McHenry, French, Wright and
board are making arrangements
for laying the corner stone
of the new chamber of commerce Dec. 13
at II o'clock. The board will adjourn at
that hour and march in body to the new
building. The ceremonies will be brief,
addresses by President Dunham, Secreta-
ry Randolph, J. R. Bensly and the mayor,
with little music, comprising the pro-
gramme. In the stone will be placed
blank bonds of the board and call board,
certificates of membership, list of mem
bers, etc.
The creditors of Kreigh & Davis held a
meeting yesterday, but accomplished little,
because the books of the firm
are not in a condition to afford the
information necessary to base definite
action upon. The particulars of settle
ment, whatever they may be, will be ar
ranged at subsequent meeting. It trans
pired that the firm intend to submit
proposition to its creditors, which it is
hoped will at once be accepted and allow
it to resume business. It is said Kreigh &
Davis will pay twenty cents on the dol
lar.
Twenty-Five members have signed and
posted proposed amendment to the COM
mission rules. The Lamson Bros, suspen-
sion probably induced the move, which is
intended to wipe out all rules on
the subject of commissions. The
committee now revising the rules propose
to let the rule stand, but do away with the
severe penalties, and their proposition will
undoubtedly meet the most favor. The
special committee, whose Office it is to
prosecute members of the board breaking
the commission rule, has secured evidence,
it is said, against batch of prominent

pended for thirty days. It is claimed that
if no favorltism is shown by the directors,
Messrs. M. s. Nichols & Co., Robert Lind
blom & Co., McGeoch, Everingham & Co.,
Cudahy & Stevens. G. E. Clifford and L. Ev-
eringham & Co., will meet with Lamson
Bros fate. just as conclusive evidence has
been secured against them, and in exactly
the same way. A detective was employed
to open trades, and upon the commissions
being divided with him he delivered the
account of sales to the prosecuting COM
mittee. These last defendants are all rich
and influential. Long odds were offered
on all sides last night that mono of them
would suffer suspension.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.]
Fort WAYNE, Ind, Dec. THE mana
gers of the various clubs in the Northwest
ern base ball league met here in the Over
ton house parlors, and effected perma-
nent organization, with T. E. Webser, of
Bay City, as chairman, and Max Niedling-
er, of Fort Wayne, secretary. The fol-
lowing delegates were present: Max Med
linger, Fort Wayne; T. E. Webster, Bay
City; j. Rust, Saginaw; T. J. Frechtel,
Springfield; G. Overrocker, Quincy; E. M.
Liebenstien, Peoria; F. 81. Whipple,

liar to those of the National and American
leagues, was adopted with trifing varia-
tions. S. G. Morton, of Chicago, was
elected secretary pro tenn until the next
meeting on the second Wednesday in Jan
uary. The place has not yet been decided
upon. A telegram was received from the
president of the National league, extend
ing his congratulations and proposing a
league alliance, and agreeing in any case
to recognize the black list rules as to play
ers suspended or expelled, providing the
new league agree not to play against any
club hireing such players. Secretary Nor
toms salary was fixed at $3.50 per annum.

Base Ball league adopted an amendment
rendering liable to expulsion any player
under contract with a lea que club who
shall, without consent of the club, agree to
enter the service of any other club after
the expiration of his contract. The sched-
ule series was changed from twelve to four
teen games. The playing rules were
amended to the effect that the pitchers
hand, in delivering the ball, must pass be
low the shoulder instead of waist. The
rules we're amended by provision for the
appointment of four league umpires at an
annual salary of $1,000 each. A commit
tee was appointed to consider the advis-
ability of the reorganization of contracts
with the Northwestern league and other
such associations, to report in March.
H0uck, Hike, Dorgan, Nolan, Gross, Fox,
Dickerson, Crowley, Brown and Caskins
were restored to membership. The Spald-
ing ball was adopted.

age. The same building was on fire two
or three weeks ago, at which time it caught
from the stove which stood too near the
wall. How it originated last night could
not be learned.

Change in q Newspaper.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA rumor was current
this morning to the effect that a change
was pending in the ownership of the Inter
Ocean newspaper. Mr.. Gil A. Pierce, for
merly one of the editors of the paper, and
who recently endeavored, through the
courts to assert his right to control it, but
failed, is said to have been joined by S. G.
Griggs, Jr.. who has been picking up shares
of stock for some time past. They have
now succeeded, it is said, in buying in
about 1900 shares, which constitutes
majority of the stock. Mr.. W. P. Nixon
was asked if there was any truth in these
rumors. Mr.. Nixon fastened away saying:
You had better go and see the other fell
lows" Being persistentiy pressed for a
direct answer he peremptorly declined to
have word to say on the subject, and
vanished into his counting room.

of less consequences than any man
in small city who has
100000 or breaches in small church,
OF paints portraits. It is not in the nature
of place like Wall street to stop to con-
slider mans money. They only regard
him as an instrumentality. IF he is bold
and aggressive, with no money to speak of,
he is more admired in Wall street than if
ne comes there with his freight trains of
gold. like Xerxes crossing the bridge from
Asia with 80 much gold that he broke it
down, yet few Greeks whipped him all
the same. Fat brains and plenty Of money
become the subject of bold satire in the
street. The head of the market, however,
is never popular. The money-making tai
ont in Wall street is as cheap as artistic
talent about Naples, or the cir
Gus talent among circus men. Intensely
absorbed in the money-making OF their
occupation, many of the brokers sigh for
some other, method of spending their days.
Since 1873 the advance in real estate,
though considerable has borne no compar-
ison with that in the various forms of per-
sonal property. The interest on money
put into mortgages has so decreased that
men with money are unwilling to submit
to such diminution of their revenues,
and hence they find the wide doors of the
stock exchange inviting, and there the big
operators have been shaving every adven-
turous man in this country for years past,
until there seems at present to be turn
in the tide, the stocks are down, and from
all points the order has come 'ssell out our
account; don't wait about it."

INDIAN MASSACRE.

A Band of Thirty Mexicans and Five
Americans Butchered by Indians in
Chihuahua--A Repetition of the Little
Big Horn Massacre.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.7
DENVER, Col, Dec. 7.-Particulars have
been received of the wholesale slaughter
by Ju and his band near the town of Casa
grande, in the state of chihuahua, of the
Americans and Mexicans. Ju and his
band have been committing various depre-
dations for some time past, and few days
before went to the ranches of Jefe Politico
of Caliano, Don Juan, of Canderio, and
stole many head of sheep and cattle. They
visited the ranches of other citizens and
drove Off many more. Politico and other
sufferers gathered band of about thirty
men and started after the Indians. THIk
came upon them before they knew Ju and
his band were anywhere near. They were
Immediately surrounded by the Indians,
and Politico, as soon as he saw the number
of the band, which was over 200, dis
patched one of the men for assistance, who
managed to escape. Arriving at Galliano
he got together about seventy men, and
started at once for the scene. Ju sent out
a party who engaged in fight with the
rescuers, preventing them from joining
Politico. The rescuers saw the slaughter
but could do nothing for their unfortunate
friends. Every one of the pursuing party
with the exception of the man who went
for succor, was butchered by the savages.
They then returned to the Sierra Madre.
When the friends of the unfortunate
victims went to bury the dead
they found not far from the spot
where the massacre occurred the bodies of
five Americans who had fallen victims, too,
to the Indians. Two of these Americans,
it has been since learned, were from Grant
county, New Mexico. Their names were
James Biggs and w. Mcdowell. They had
been in chihuahua for some time purchas-
ing cattle, and were then on their way
home. 1t was Ju and his band who some
time ago murdered several prominent citi-
zens of Chihuahua.

DanCiEIe, OIney &c Ohio Rirer.

BOSTON, Dec. IA meeting called by the
trustees of the holders of the bonds of the
Danville, Olney & Ohio River Railroad
company was held to-day. The receiver
was unanimously requested to put the road
in condition to be operated, and a protest
made against leasing the property on any
condition whatever. A motion was made
that the receiver be requested to regard
holders of certificates for bonds who have
not yet received the bonds as entitled to
the same privileges as actual bondholders
After explanation that the vote would have
no legal effect, the motion passed. It ap-
peared in the discussion that some 81, 900
worth of these certificates have been issued
to subscribers for bonds who had paid In
full for them, but to whom the trustees had
not been empowered to issue bonds. The
trustees were also instructed to make a
further examination of the property and
take such steps IS they might deem best
for the interests of the bondholders.

a Morning Blaze.

A little after 8 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing fire was discovered in tho new build
ing in course Of erection by Col. A. r.
Kiefer, near Post siding. Owing to the
distance from the fire alarm and the fact
that no water could be made available, the
fire department did not turn out, The
building was completely destroyed. It
was erected at a cost of some $4,000, upon
which there was an insurance of $4,000,
in companies represented by Hughson &
Hemmenway. It seems that the workmen
had left fire burning to thaw out the NOR
tar for plastering, and by some means the
flames from the furnace used for that pur-
pose, communicated to the wood work, and
hence the disaster. The main building
was two story frame, 22x4S, with one
story addition of 1885, and had been rented
for q rocery and butcher shop.

NO IMPROVEMENT.

We cannot perceive that the prosecution
have gained anything by getting Guiteau
removed to the dock. He is just as noisy
and impudent there as in his old place, and
indeed it may be questioned if he has not
been more vociferous and presumptuous
since the change. Tire fellows insolence
is monumental. Already he appears to
have convinced himself that he will be
acquitted. and it is evident he believes
himself to possess great influence with the
present Administration. When he is lib.
Grated he no doubt feels certain of getting
that Paris Consul Generalship which Blaine
refused him. But if there was any object
in trying to keep him quiet we fail to see
why neither the Court nor the prosecution
take any steps to silence him. His inter.
ruptions and remarks generally are offens-
i've and disgusting to the last degree, but
he is, allowed to say whatever he pleases.
It seems to us that if this goes on much
longer Judge Cox will find it necessary
to prepare another explanation.
