THE new RULES.
Work Of the Committee of Base
Ball Clubs.
Several Important Changes
Made.
The Committee Will Continue
Its Labors To-Day.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The joint rules
committee Of base ball clubs has complet-
ed the largest part of its work. An en-
deavor was made by a few delegates to
reintroduce the high and low ball system,
but the majority were against the idea
and voted it down.
One of the most important subjects
discussed was the position of pitcher.
During the past season some players COM
planned that the pitcher was not far
enough away from the batsman, and that
a position three or four feet back would
be more suitable. A motion to that effect
was voted down.
Since it was decided that an umpire
should stand behind the pitcher he has
interfered with, rather than helped the
batsman. When a batsman has hit a
fair ball, sending it over the pitcher I
head and hitting the umpire, he has no
allowance and is compelled to run. The
pitcher has only to stoop and pick up the
ball in order to throw him out al first. To
remedy this the committee decided that a
struck ball constituted a base hit and
gives the batsman a base when he hits
the umpire.
In order to improve the order of pitch
ing the committee has reduced the balls to
four for the next season. The three strikes
remain as usual.
The rule regarding foul tips has been
abolished, and hereafter a man will be
allowed to run on them.
At the evening session it was decided to
allow each club the privilege of haylng on
the grounds a tenth player in full uni
form ready at the end of an even inning
to take the place of any player. This
man would be in addition to the substi-
tute who has always been allowed to take
the place of an injured player.
An attempt to introduce a new rule
providing that a player who has run over
second base should not be declared out
was voted down.
At 9 p. m. the committee met in con-
ference with the Scorers Association to
embody in their report tomorrow to the
convention suggestions about scoring
changes given by newspaper men. The
main subject discussed was the simplifica-
ton of tabulated scores. 1t was gener-
ally agreed that a stolen base column
be done away with and its record included
in the summaries. Byrnes suggested that
a stolen base should be credited when the
player succeeded In securing a base after
a fair ball caught on the fly was generally
aDDrOyed.

Mitchell Says He's Ready.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 20. - Charlie

think for a moment that Jack Dempsey
had spoken of him as a cur, as asserted in
several newspapers this morning. With

here with the view of fighting anybody.
If, however, ,Dempsey's hackers were good
sportsmen who would be satisfied to lose
their money if they found their man over
matched, he confessed that the prospect
of a fight for $40, 600 a side with Demp.
sey would be very tempting to him.

Powderly's Power,

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2O.-That Pow
derby still has control of the Knights of
Labor convention was shown this morn
ing when the committee on law submit
ted their report recommending amend
ments in accordance with Powderly's rec
o~mmendation. 1t is intended to carry out
the ''one man power which he advocated
and to provide for a general master work
man, a worthy foreman, a general secre.
tary-treasurer and general director for
woman's work. The general executive
board consists of four members besides a
general master workman, and the general
co. cooperative board shall consist of two
members besides the general worthy fore
man. All except the general executive
board and the general cooperative board
will be taken from the floor of the general
assembly and when elected serve two
years. This is a reduction of two mem
bers in each board besides the union Off
GERS, secretary and treasurer.
But the place where Powderly's infu-
ence most appears is in che article which
provides that the general master work
man shall be the chairman ex-ofhcio of
the general executive board and shall, as
practicable, submit to the general assem-
bly, the names of eight persons from
which the general assembly shall select
four members. This will be done as soon
as possible, and at the same session at
which the general master workman is
elected. 1t further provides that the
general worthy foreman shall be ex officio
chairman of the general co operative
board; that he shall submit to the general
assembly four names from which they
shall elect two, who will constitute that
board.
After debate the report was adopted.
The afternoon session was taken up by
the committee on law with minor changes
of the constitution. Contrary to the
recommendation Of Powderly the time of
meeting is unchanged.
The general master workman shall here
after fill all vacancies on the board by APP
pointment, this being the new power
added to the office. 1t is now proper for
any member of the general executive
board to approve of the report of the Sec
rotary treasurer, although that was form
erly permitted only to the general master
workman. The general assembly so de-
string, may declare vacant any place on
the board and it can do so without at the
same time expelling the officer so re-
moved. Before appointment organizers
must pass a proper examination. This
same committee reported approval of
Powderly' denunciation of the provision
al committee. The mileage committee
reported the total mileage of the general
| assembly to be 189, 500 miles and the
amount to be paid to be 1888. By a
formal vote all the decisions of the gen.
eral master workman since the general
assembly a year ago were approved.

Misery in Western Kansas.

WICHITA, Kas., Nov. 20 The depop-
ulation in Western Kansas continues with
wonderful rapidity. Richard l.. Bently,
representing the st. Louis Mercantile
company, who has been over much of the
western part of the state, in what is
known as the New Country" is in this
city. He says that in Ness City, Digh-
ton, Scott City and many other places,
not 100 people will winter in any of the
towns, Two years ago most of the towns
had from 500 to 200 Inhabitants each,
but the streets and almost the entire vii
lagos are deserted, and the few inhabi-
tants left are unable to get away. A
year ago these people passed a winter
almost without coal, there having been a
fuel famine from the beginning of cold
Weather till spring. Already the fatal
blizzard has set in, and one or two fearful
storms have swept the plains, killing
much stock. The people are discouraged
and heartbroken. They raised no crops
this year, and have been compelled to
leave their homes from the fear of star
walton.

to Kentucky for trial The son, a mere
boy at the time of the murder, and other
interested relatives and friends had ad-
vanced far along in life and a few had
passed away. but despite the lapse of
time the incident was deeply engraved in
the minds of the witnesses upon whose
testimony the accused, Roberts, was
convicted and sentenced to tie pcniten-
tiary for twenty-five years. He is sixty
four years old, and the sentence adjudged
as the penalty of his crime is the equiva-
lent of confinement for life within the

Escaped on a TechntcaIity.

BOONE, Ia, Nov. 2O.-In the district
court yesterday the case of the state
against w. F. Laidley came to trial.
Laidley, who was a Methodist minister at
Ogden, was indicted for the seduction of
Alice Alderman, at one time a member of
the Laidley household. She testified at
the trial that the illicit intercourse began
in July, 1884, when she was about Is
years of age, and continued until Septem-
Der. 1887. At the conclusion of her test
imony Laidley's counsel moved that the
jury be directed to return a verdict for the
defendant upon the ground that the action
was barred by the statute of limitations.
The court sustained the motion and a YER
dict for the defendant was ordered. The
other cases against Laidley for lcwdness.
etc, were dismissed by the court before
going to trial. The interposition OF the
statute of limitations saves LaidleY from
the penitentiary, but the fact that he chose
to take advantage of a technical defense
rather than have the case decided upon its
merits, has created an unfaVorable i'm
preston. The church conference dis
missed Laidley from the ministry some
time ago.

IN BAD CONDITION.
Portions of the Court House Con-
demned by Grand Jurors.
Overlooking Vaults, Cracked Walls
and Defective Flues.
A Number of Cases Disposed of in
the District Court.

The grand jury submitted the appended
report to Judge Maginnis and was dis
charged:
The grand jury have completed their
Investigations. In accordance with your
instructions they have visited the county
offices, jail and court house. and beg leave
most respectfully to submit their final re-
port.
They find the working condition of the
county offices in every way satisfactory.
The prisoners are well fed and properly
cared for.
The county building was also examined
and the grand jury wish to express their
unqualified opinion as to the utter made
quacy of the rooms devoted to the keeping
Of the records and documents. The dark
ness of the vault room makes the danger
very formidable. In order to obviate this
present difficulty we recommend the coun-
ty commissioners to procure vault room in
the capitol building or other place in
which to store those records and docu-
ments not Immediately in use. The north
west side of the building upon the alley
has a large opening or fracture extending
from the roof to the foundation, which is
increasing in extent. 1t is a question of a
short time only when the end wall must
separate and fall.
1t is imperative that this should be
looked to Immediately and either that the
wall should be torn down and rebuilt, or
in some way protected.
The outer wall of that portion of the
building occupied by water closets has
separated from the main portion and the
roof over the same is in a leaky condition.
They should be attended to, also the fues
upon the one.story addition upon the
west, which are out of order.
Further, they desire to congratulate the
county on the lightness tof the criminal
calendar. and wish to extend their thanks
to the prosecutor and other county of
ticials for their attention, kindness and
courtesy during their deliberations.
A. GncHRIsT, Foreman.
During the day cases on the calendar
were disposed of as follows:
The petit jury wounded the feelings of
j. o. Van Dyke by returning a verdict to
the effect that he was guilty of grand lar
ceny in the manner and form charged in
the indictment.
In the matter of the Territory VS.. Stat
ford, charged with grand larceny, the
grand jury ignored the indictment.
A nolle pros was entered as to the in
dictment for burglary against Robinson
and Cranston, and the prisoners were dis
charged.
Thos. Burton's attorney filed a motion
to quash the Indictment charging his
client with burglary. The motion was ar
gued and overruled.
Territory VS.. Lemuel Thomas, recogni'
zance of $500 forfeited.
Territory VS.. j. M. Cunningham and
G. Small, charged with cattle stealing,
bail of $500 each forfeited.
Territory VS.. Skolds, motion to quash
