WANT THEIR MONEY.
The Pittsburg Bail Club Directors
Think They Have Been Swindled.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Dec. 1S.-President Nimick
and the directors of the Pitsburg Base Ball
club make some rather sensational disclosures
concerning the refusal of the American asso-
citation, at its recent meeting IN New York, to
return $500 to the team according to agree
meut. After Barley had Deen fined $500 and
suspended for one year at the Louisville
meeting, he brought suit against the associa-
ton before Judge Stowe. MI. Byrne and
New York attorney named WaFer came on to
this city to represent the association. Mr..
Byrne having been delegated the power to do
So Before the case had progressed very
far the association grew shaky, they feared
defeat i'm the courts, and a compromise was
PROPOSED. The oittsburgsdireotors offered to
pay fine of 500 aud give the Baltimore
club Scott, provided Barkley's suspension
was remanded. This was agreed to- but in
order to uphold the dignity of the associa-
ton, Byrne suggested that Pittsburg pay
$500, with the positive agreement that the
club should be given credit for $500 on the
books The officials of the Pittsburg club say
they are willing to make an af6dayitthat the
positive agreement, as given above, was
entered into. Mr.. Ninick also received q
telegram from Byrne, saying he had obtained
the conseat and Endorsement of ali
the clubs to the agreement. The drec tors
now say that unless the money is returned
they will at once begin an action against the
association.

Creditors to Get Their MOney---A
Local Bank Suit.

Special to the GLOBE.
WAHPETON, Dec. 19.-The district court,
Judge Mcconnell presiding. closed a two
weeks session here this afts ranon, scarcely
getting half way through the calendar
Among the important cases tried was the
somewhat noted suit of Kennedy g. Lander
VS.. w. P. Proffer, on its third trial growing
out of an attachment sale of 81, 900 stock OF
goods at Walcott, this county, at the instance
of Auerba>h, Finch s. Van Slyke and other
wholesale men of St. Paul in 1853, such goods
having been mortgGged to KENNEDY * Lander
ending i'll a verdict for the plaintiffs in the
sum of $1,96S. The second important
case was that OF o. X. Ulsaker,
County Treasurer, vs. The Indemnifying
bondsmen of the defunct Nationa' bank at
this place involving $4,000. Cashier Hay
ward promised the treasurer bond signed
by wealthy Cleveland parties, but delivered
the bond minus the Cleveland men and signed
by Wahpeton parties. The latter alleged
that they signed with the understanding with
Hayward that the Cleveland parties would
sign, aud claiming also that the treasurer
had sufficient knowledge of the conditions on
which they signed, as did Mr.. Ha ward. Gen.
George ?. Wilson and J. w. Arctander ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and the latter created
profound sensation in the unmeasured
terms with which he denounced the vice
president and cashier of the bank. The jury
was out all last night, and was discharged this
afternoon, not being able TO agree. The grand
jury returned q verdict against j. w. Hay
ward, for embezzlement, citing the claim OF a
farmer Of this county and OF the firm Of
Durham & Johnson, of Minneapolis, and then
indicted Mr.. Hayward, A. j. Goodhue, John
Nelson and John johnson as officers of the
bank, for accepting deposits after the bank
was by them known to be insolvent. The
Judge placed their bonds at 600 each, say
ing 10 Hayward that as he was under a Sl0,.
100 bond, the court would be light with him
pending the discharge of the former, in
which event the bond would be raised.

MILITARY C0NVICTS.
A Protest Against 1heir Employ
ment i'm Opposition 10 Honest La

Dor.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - Representative
Bragg, chairman OF the committee on military
affairs has submitted report to the house to
accompany the army bill, which contains the
following criticism upon the boot and shoe
department of the Leavenworth military
prison: '''The committee finds on investiga-
ton, that for the last fiscal year there was
drawn from the clothing fund by the man
agement of the military prison at Leaven-
worth Sl60,sl5. and that the boots and shoes
of the army have been and are being manu-
featured at such prison by military convicts.
The committee is satisfied that the boots
and shoes manufactured at the
prison cost more necessarily than If
they were made and furnished
upon contract by manufacturers of boots
and shoes. There is OF necessity that lack Of
skill and aptitude in a convict which are
found in professional workmen. In fact the
list of the cost of shoes in the army for d
series of years proves that prison labor en-
hances the cost of shoes and boots for the
army. 1t is also asserted by officers of the
army that
THE CONVICT SHOE
is not substantially made, and that the work
manship is defective, so that the shoe is Of
little value; but, in fairness, it must be stated
that this is stoutly den ed, and that the COM
mittee does not feel willing to express an opin-
lOIl dJ luis ltil0 UPON ILLS uOOleu QueSIlOU,
upon which it may be called to act in
the future upon q full presentation of
all the facts bearing upon the ques-
ton. The committee, however, cannot for
bear from expressing its conviction that
the United States government should not
build up mandatory to be run by convict
labor in competition with the honest artisan
who supports his family by the product of
his labor. 1t is alone the belief of the COM
mittee that sentence to the Leaveuworth
prison for desertion, followed by an educa-
ton as shoemaker, harnessmaker. chair
maker or broommaker, good quarters, good
living. suit OF clothes at the expiration of
the term of sentence, transportation to his
home, and So to refresh himself with. has no
such terror to it as TO tend to suppress the
crime. In humanitarian point of view
much can be said In favor of 1t, bat as an aid
TO military discipline the committee thinks it
too weak. The committee, as q step in the
progress Of reformation has put a limit of
$125, 600 upon the amount that can be ex-
pended out of the clothing fund at the mill
tary prison for the current year. and expresses
a hope that in the near future the business of
shoemakiug as penalty for desertion will

THE BICYCLE EVENT.
The Six-Da Start Tonight i'm Min.
neapOIis.. -rince Again Speaks.


The six-day go-as-you- please bicycle race
of W. S. Morgan. Albert Schock and
Louise Armando will start tonight at five
minutes past midnight and run continuously
until 10 O'Clock next Saturday night. 1t
promises to be great race and to attract
the general attention of the sporting fra
ternity of the country. BY tonight the
| war of words will be over and the war on
the wheels will begin. The participants
and some outsiders have been having a
windy and wordy war through the news
papers, all of which has advertised the
race more or less. 1t begins tonight.
Prince gets in one shot, to this effect, be-
| fore the race:
| I'll tell you. I think the reason I'm barred
! is that the race is fraud. They claim that
| it is for $1,000 side and allege they have
| all the money up. l feel certain that no
stakes are up. They are all afraid OF me in
that kind of race. and thef know full well
that will not go into hippodrome, and that
Iwould insist upon putting up the money, as
advertised. l telegraphed from Omaha last
Monday that would be here TO start, and
brought my $1,000, which | am willing TO
stake that 1 can beat Morgan and Schock. L
don't think Louise Armaindo Is in the race al
all. She starts as an attraction in order to
increase the gate receipts. Her name does
not appear in the articles of agreement. In
order to get slice of the gate receipts she
must simply ride /. ZOO miles in the six days.
Furthermore, there are no rules
on earth in sporting circles that
can bar man from an open
championship race if he is willing to
post his money, and the articles OF agree
ment for this contest fail to state any given
time for the entries to close. Morgan charges
me with trying to secure cheap advertising
In reply to him will only say don't care for
advertising in this city. l am about to retire
from the arena, and my only object in ad-
dressing the people at the rink the other
night was to ascertain if possible why L was
shut out AS TO disgusting people. only
| have to refer to the cheers with which was
greeted at that time. In conclusion should
| think the people of Minneapolis would tire
of the baderdash of Eek and Morgan about
their $1,000. aud to give them one more
chance hold myself in readiness to put up
| 81, 900 that can bsat the winner Of this race
at any time. If they do not wish put up
money. and don't think they do only hope

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-Sir Charles Russell,
counsel for Lady Colin, made his closing
argument in the Campbell divorce suit to-
day. He said he knew that Lord Colin Camp
bell charged his wife with adultery, but he
had been unaware, until he heard defendant 8
counsel making his argument, that the hus-
and also charged his wife with purjury and
subornation of perjury. Lord Colin land
his counsel had displayed an acrimony I'M
paralleled. II the charges against Lady colin
were true, they would place her on level
with the commonest prostitutes. Lord Colin
was only the " u ugest son in the Argyle fam
lily. although MIR. Finlay appeared to think,
with another Campbell. who when the
Marquis of Lorne married the Princess
Louise exclaimed, ''Eh mon, the queen must
be proud lady to-day" Continuing, Sir
Charles said it was absurd to suppose that
Lady Colin, if guilty, would have brought her
charges against Lord Colin into court, when,
by acceding to bis request to cohabit, she
might have shielded her guilt and prevented
inquiry. The whole case against Lady Colin,
he said, rested upon the gossip of servants,
cabmeu and stablemen. Adjourned. An
estimate upon the costs of the Colin Campbell
divorce case places the figures at t25, 600.

sslt Will Remain i'm Our World as
Long as Material Beauty Shall
Stay Upon the Earth.,'
CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-Prof. David Swing,
whose congregation at Central music hall is
one Of the largest in the city, gives his views
at length this evening in the Journal, on ''The
Clergy and the Ballet He says: "The
National Opera company no doubt admits
that the pulpit must attempt to protect the
public from contamination-all injury from
bad drinks, bad language, bad literature. bad
drama and pad opera. The only plea the
National Opera company can offer, is that its
ballet is not immoral What the clergy should
attempt to know, are the facts in the case;
but in order to secure the facts it is not
necessary that they should attend a presenta-
ton CT this drama. Common fame, the testi-
mony of generations as to how
the ballet girls are costumed, the
cuts in the pictOrials, the one
line sketch by a distinguished lady-that
ballet girl looks like parasol with two han
dleS-cOmbine TO make evidence enough as
to the general unworthlness of that branch
of theatrical art. The National Opera
company has reconstructed the attire of lis
dancing girls, and as they appeared in the
'Orpheus they were less Objectionable
than perhaps such stage dancers have ever
been up to this date. The clergy could,
If so disposed, easily find evivdeuce that
Mr.. Thomas and his great p atron Mrs. Thur
Der, are rapidly reforming the dance ward
robe. and making the old evolution of women
bear some resemblance to the maypole calls
themes in history. What not the clergy, but
all moral and spiritual persons must condemn
forever is a dance whose charm comes from
an imitation of nudity. Nevertheless the
ballet need not be dressed to suit the clergy
men, because that profession is compelled by
its pursuit to move on plane above
much which the world at large
may possess and enjoy. So the ballet need
not dress to suit the clergy, but to meet the
demand Of all those pure and good persons
who are not in the daily employ Of religion as
a special pursuit. In the philosophy Of art
there is place or a demand for the ballet. In
opera ballet may move out on the stage to
express some public Joy, to herald wedding,
but the dancing girls should be costumed
beautifully, not markedly. The ballet is a bal
lad danced instead of sung. 1t is a love song
without words, and as such will have place
in scenic entertanme 1t is not certain
that standing on the tip of the toe, that having
a heel made upon the toe or a white slipper is
any part Of graceful motion; it is almost GER
tain that that kind of performance belongs to
the pursuit of the gymnast but the motions
of men, girls and children may be branch of
true beauty, aud hence the ballet will remain
in our world as long as amusements and ma
teria1 beauty shall stay upon the earth.

ConfIictins Courts.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 1S.-Attorney General
Leese transmitted his report to the governor
to-day He makes the somewhat startling
and unusual observation that the federal
courts are infringing upon the courts Of our
state He says:
II lind that there is such growing tendency
or the part OF the federal courts to extend
thqir power that the machinery of our state
courts is almost paralyZed. This is caused by
strained construction of the federal judi
ciary act, and tor the most trivial pretext the
federal courts are looked to as the final
tribunal in tie determination of criminal
trial. The above act has been so construed
that in the discretion of a federal judge a
prisoner in our state penitentiary who, hay
ing been duly convicted in our district court
with the judgment of conviction affirmed by
our state supreme court, can be released by a
habeas corpus and the state is obliged to
carry its convicted felonS to and from the
federal courts wherever they may be in ses-
sion, and that too at the judges direction. /
| believe it would be great, to the interest of
our people that the jurisdiction Of the federal
court should be given in express terms, and
should he so limited in ether respects that
the poor man can litigate his rights as well as
the rich man, and where an Eastern money

ELMIRA, N. Y. Dec. 1S.-The details Of a

sensation this morning, one of the principals

Syracuse, Geneva & Corning railroad, at

each took a dose of morphine, with suicidal
intent, and slept for twenty-rour hours. Sus-
picion being aroused by Hamlin's absence
from home, the apartments which they occu-
pied were broken open. This aroused Hamlin
from his stupOr. whereupon he seized pis-

alive. His parents are prominent residents
