BUFFALO N. Y, Sept 3I.--When the ar.
rangenent between the Buffalo and Detroit
base ball managers for the transfer of the
formers club to the latter had been com.
pleted the result was announced to Presi-
dent Young, of the National Base Ball
league, Washington President Young
Immediately telegraphed to the officers OF
both organizations that their action was
contrary to the Saratoga agreement which
was that both the American and League
clubs should not negotiate or con-
tract with players under engage
ment in either association before the close
Of the season This agreement stands in the
way of the tran5fer of the Buffalo players
to the Detroit club, and it is doubtful if the
four players taken from bore to reinforce
the Detrots will be permitted to play A
dispatch from Detroit says Manager Mutrie,
of the New York club refuses to play
against the Detroits if the Buffalo acquisi-
tion is used, and also that Mutrie will OBJ
lect to playing schedule games in Buffalo
against an amateur team, as it will not
draw attendance enough to pay expenses
The outcome of the deal is eagerly awaited

LONDON, Sept 81. The populace Of
Philippopolis, the capital Of eastern Rou-
melia, almost to man, rose in rebellion
Friday, seized the governor-general, dsposed
the government and proclaimed a union
with Bulgaria. A provisional government
wns established. The revolt was SO well
planned that no disorder or bloodshed oc-
CURED, everybody being in sympathy with
the movement except the government Of
ticials. The foreigners in the city are per-
fectly safe from harm, as is also the prop
erty of foreign residents
Immediately after the organization of the
provincial government the militia were
sworn in, taking the oath of allegiance to
Prince Alexander, of Bulgaria.
1t is generally believed in diplomatic cir
cles that Russia arranged the programme
of the rising and suggested the union with
Bulgaria No definite statement can be
made at present as to what action the
signatory powers to the treaty of Berlin
will take respecting the matter.
Eastern Roumeia was created by the
congress of Berlin in 1878, and was given an
autonomic government though forming an
integral part of the Turkish empire. The
governor general was appointed by the
porte, subject to the approval of the treaty
powers

In the city It will hardly
take a moment to vote; and
in the county, the citizens are alive to
the necessity of going to the polls, for
if they neglect their duty, the baneful
effect will be at once %perceptible.
Let employers encourage their en-
ployees to go, and let the richest and
most solid men in the county set the
example of going to the polls and
voting for reform and lower taxa
tion. Any taxpayer in this
county, who does not go to the polls

who have borne the brunt of the fight,

Prepare the ground by thorough
blowing or spading to the depth of

be dug much larger than sufficient to
spread out the roots properly. If the
soil is poor or shallow the holes should

The Nude In Dramatic Art.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26.-William
j. Gilmore, proprietor of the New Cen.
trail Theatre, was this morning ar.
raigned before Judge Biddle on a
charge of obscene libel preferred by
Josiah Leeds, The charge Was based
upon the exhibition of a picture repre-
senting characters of the spectacular
production of 1.-THE Seven Ravens"
which it advertised to be performed at
the the theatre ONE time ago. 1t was
hung up on the outside of the theatre.
The question was left by the court to
the jury to determine from the picture
itself whether it was as charged an
indecent publication,
The jury, after a careful delibera-
ton, returned a verdict Of guilty.
Counsel for Mr.. Gilmore said that the
picture was no worse than similar
ones exhibited in front of other the.
aires where there was a ballet.
The judge said it Was time to put a
stop to this sort Of thing, The whole
object was to get people into the place
to see nude women. He did not, how
ever, think that Mr.. Gilmore, as a sin
gle exception, ought to be made "a
severe example of. On the applica-
ton of counsel for the defendant SEN
tence was postponed for a day or two
and Mr.. Gilmore was permitted to re.
new his bail.
Subsequently it was agreed that the
defendant should receive his sentence
and the judge fined him 800.

Reecher's Wav.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher gives the
following version of one of his ex.
periences D.:
Some years ago a bright girl came to
live in his family as a domestic. She
was the daughter Of Protestants, who
had been devoted to giving her careful
religious training. She took another
place in time, when for the while Mr.,
Beecher closed his home in BROOKLYN,
The family in which she obtained a sit
ration was composed of devout Catho-
lies. The young woman became inter-
ested in their faith, and finally was
convinced that she too should be a
member of the Roman Catholic
Church. Her parents we're much an
noyed, and they sought by persuasion.
argument and other means to prevent
her purpose. Finally, in their trouble,
they visited MI. Beecher and besought
the Intervention Of his influence "Send
her to me-" he said, and the girl pre-
sented herself to him. "Are you per-
suaded that you are doing right in
joining the Catholic Church ?" he ask.
ed. She was sure that her convictions
required her to take that step; she
felt, she said that she could be a better
Christian and get more comfort out of
religion in the Catholic Church than
in any other. "Then, "said Mr.. Beech
er, "take this letter to Father Pise, of
the Church of st. Charles Borromeo."
Pise and Mr.. Beecher were old
friends. His letter ran thus
"Here is a lamb who thinks she sees
pasture on your side of the fence
than she does on mine. Take good
care of her. Yours in Christ.
