Dan. O,Learv,s Case.

The directors of the Indianapolis Base ball
Club met Monday night to consider Dan.
OLeary's differences with the club and finally
decided to grant him his release without preiu
dice, conditional upon his payment of $158,
which it is claimed he owes the club. OLeary's
version of the case differs from that of the di-
rectory in several respects, viz: He claims that
the club is indebted to him in the sum of
500 so as his percentage on the net profits of
last season, according to the terms of his con
tract, and that they also owe him something for
his services since the close of the playing season.
In arranging dates and contracts for this year.
As to fine of 800 imposed upon him for mis-
conduct after the Metropolitan game, he claims
that it was RENTED, and therefore, cannot now
be charged against him. He admits an indebt-
edness of $780, paid him in the way of advance
money but considers that offset by the percent
age of last seasons profits and his services since
November. The directors insist upon the pay
ment of the fine O'Leary has left his case in
the hands of friends in Indianapolis for adjust
ment. 1t is understood that he has signed with
the Cincinnati Union League Club.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday, says:
"a telegram was received last evening from
Dan OLeary, the late manager of the Indianap-
oils, accepting the terms of the Cincinnati Unions,
and will play in the outfeld and manage them
during 1884. He will report for duty in few
days. and complete the arrangements for the
opening of the season."

Marion County Medical Society.

At the meeting of the medical society last
night DR.. J. E. Lockridge reported five cases of
poisoning by sulphate of morphia in large doses,
in which restoration was secured by the admin
istration of sulphate of atropia The general
subject of the physiological antidoting of one of
these poisons by the other was fully brought
out and discussed. Four fifths of all the cases
of poisoning met in general practice were stated
by the essayist to be due to opium and its prep
arations, and the experience of the medical
men who were present confirmed the statement.

ULiO1lis Politics.

Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
An Enq1arer correspondent met j. b.
Irwin, a member of the Illinois Democratic
State Central Committee. at the Capitol to-
day, and the following conversation followed:
'.Do the Democrats have any idea they
can carry Illinois this yearl'
''Well, yes. We think that with Tilden
and Hendricks for leaders, and Mayor Harri
son, of Chicago, for Governor, supported by
good State ticket, we can pull through. If
we don't we can scare the Republicans so
badly that they won't have any time to Star
route Indiana. We have been fighting
against big odds out there for years, and we
are getting the Republican majority down so
close that we think the State is debatable
ground in this campaign"
'sWho do you think the Republicans in
your State will favor for President!n
~ am not good judge on that side of the
fence, but think the Illinois delegation will
be considerably divided. You see, they are
holding the district conventions this year,
and the fight between the 'Stalwarts' and the
''Feather-Heads' is becoming mighty warm.
The mabhine will get some votes for Arthur,
Blaine will get few districts and Logan will
get the balance. Illinois Republicans will
never unite on Blaine-the old fight is en-
tirely too fresh in their memories. II there
is no show for Logan, they go to Arthur or
Lincoln, in my opinion"
ssWho will they nominate for Governor2"
i" Roaring Dick Oglesby,' without doubt.
They have no use for young men like Hamil-
ton. He will have to go to the wall. Ogles-
by has been shaking the tattered tail of the
bloody shirt at all the G. A. r. camp-fres IN
the State, and you know that is big card
with the old-liners in Illinois. Yes think
Carter Harrison will make the campaign
quite interesting for him, if he doesn't beat
him.
