In Favor OF Lower Prices ut Base Bali
Games.
CHICAGO, May 5.-The Chicago Time,
continues its crusse against high priced
bail games played by hired men for The
gate receipts. In an article tomorrow the
Times will in substance say:
As the recognized organ Of the base ball
constituency Of Chicsgo the Times warnt
Mr.. Spalding that he prods the will
ing OK and pursues thereby Q
course that some day must react on
him. The price of admission TO the bal
seats is placed altogether too high oonsid'
eripg the expense Of the show, unlike 9th
or managers, Spalding Is under slight ex'
pense. He could well afford TO make 9
horizontal reduction upon the price lisi
now o~utrsgeously high. II he would moi
kill the goose that lays the golden egg, he
will set about it pretty soon.

snee to the dep iture of "Dave' Leonard

Hon. D. H. Leonard, the Chairman of

IN SCOTLAND.

Blaine VIII be the Quest of Andrew earn
negle.
New YORK, May 5.-The World pub
fishes the following:
James G. Blaine will not be inaccessible
when the National Republican Conven-
ton is held on Juno 10. From time to
time it has been stated that Mr.. Biaine's
plans would be so arranged that when the
National Republican Convention was in
session he would be on the Atlantic home
ward bound and wholly out Of reach, so
that he could neither decline or accept a
nomination if rendered him. The World
however, yesterday, definitely ascertained
that the Maine statesman will, at that
particular and critical juncture, be within
comparatively easy reach, 80 that he can
readily be communicated with and can &C.
cept 6 call from his part, if 1t sees fit to
enter him in the lists and he feels dis
posed to again encounter the hard and
p~erilous work Of Presidential campaign.
Some time ago Mrs. Andrew Carnegie,
of this city, who, with her husband, yearly
spends some time in the Highlands Of Scot
land, sent an invitation to Mrs. Blaine
asking that she and her distinguished hus-
band might join them in their yearly out
ing. At the time the letter was written
contradictory reports we're being published
in almost every newspaper in regard to
NJ. Dla.na1a hoolkh natn thar0 wo0
great uncertainty as to the time Of MIR.
Blaine's return. On Wednesday last Mrs.
Carnegie received o letter from Mrs.
Blaine thanking her for her kind invita-
ton and saying that she and Mr.. Blaine
would gladly accept. Mrs. Carnegie, on
the receipt Of the letter, immediately sent
word IS to the time she would arrive in
London. The trip will in all probability
be made by coach, Mr.. CAnegie's favorite
way of travelling along and over the border.
Hence the party will proceed through the
beautiful Scottish Highlands.
Mr.. Blaine's friends here assert that
there is no doubt about his improved
health. 1t would be folly, they say, for o
man to attempt q coaching trip for enjoy
ment il he were not in good physical con-
dition. Those who know Mr.. Blaine say
that he is altogether too careful to make
such a trip if he were not feeling well.
Mr.. Carnegie said to q World reporter
last evening: at is quite true that the
Blaines are to join us for u trip to Scot
land. Our plans, as far as arranged, will
cali for an outing Of some weeks. We ex-
pect to leave London with Mr.. and Mrs.
Blaine about the 9th of June" The re-
port of Mr.. Blaine's good health is stated.

The Probable Outcome of q Brutal Murder
In Michigan.
CHICAGO, May 5.-A dispatch from
Vandalia, Mich, says: The body Of John
Athens, a colored man, who disappeared
last December, was found floating in the
lake. Gus Harris and Loomis Wilson,
celored, had been placed in jail some time
before suspected OF being concerned in his
disappearance. Wounds on the body
when found showed that the man had.
without doubt, been murdered. When
this news became generally known, about
1900 colored people Of both sexes made o
rush for the Jail, but not being armed,
were unable to effect an entrance. Had
they reached Harris and Wilson they
would have been lynched. Other arrests
are expected, and it is believed as many as
five persons are interested, and trouble ID
looked for tonight.
