THE BRoTHERHooD's ANSWER.
6tatemsn4 Made blythe League Oommittee
 Pronounced Untrue.

The Rese te system Pronounced Iniqait-
 ous--Nd Reserve Rule In tho Brother
 hood-1 Aseball Players Will Be Elevated
 by the Few Leaeue-Ewing. Ward and
 NEW sHx, Nov. as.-The open letter of the League Committee was the main topic of Incarceration in baseball circles yesterday. In the absence of Ward of the Brotherhood, Tim Keefe is regard ed as tue oracle, and he is of the opin- ion that the address of the Committee has weakened the Leagues case. Ward is in Cincinnati with ::'Buck' Ewing, and both of them, together with An drews, last night published an open letter in reply to that of the League Committee.
 They combat, one by one, the argu- ments of the letter, especially that re- ferring to the reserve rule. They claim that in tbe new league player is at liberty to go where he pleases, and nothing in the constitution depriveS him of his rights. That when he wants to leave one club and go to another his consent is not forced, nor is there reserved rule. The letter admits that the League has enacted some things which the Brotherhood asked, but claims that by so doing the League admits the injustice of its former posi- tion. Then after further arguing the question at issue. the letter continues:
 ''It is no easy task to organize new league, nor is it the work of a week. We could not postpone action until fall, when we would all be separated and powerless to act together, because in such Q condition, tho League would have laughed at us. In order to inter- est men with capital to spend time and money in such a project 1t was neces- sary to give some guarantee of good faith. We tried to meet the League, and they refused; whereupon, and not till then, we decided to look elsewhere for employment. If anyone thinks we should have made our plans pubic from the beginning, let him look at the obstacles the League is now throwing in our way, and the methods it is em- ploying to defeat us. Had we had these to encounter at first, our failure would have been certain, and our position, in consequence, worse than ever.
 ''.ss for the effect of this movement upon the game, the public need have no fear. The mon Hterested are the very ones most vitally concerned in the games future, and they will do noth- ing to injure 1t in any way. On the contrary they will do every thing to pre- serve it's purity and Integrity, to ele- vatc it above mere speculative enter prise, to place it on the level which our national game should occupy"

A Talk with tho Man Who Charges Pow
 derly with Conspiracy.
 P1rrsBURG, Pa., Nov. 23.-Mr. Cal laghan, when asked for a statement as to his reasons for bringing the suit against Powderly and others, said:
 Tn June, 1888, l was candidate for State Senator on the Democratic ticket. 4 few days before the election J. k. Byrne circulated a report that had, in 8 communication addressed to General Master Workman Powderly, called over the country like wild fire, and as was a member of the Knights of Labor in good standing was denounced in local assemblies. I was defeated and I then turned my attention to business. Early in the month of August John R. Byrne called at my store and showed me the Journal of United Labor" wherein Powderly denounced me, claim ing that it was vindication of him. self. I stated that was done politically and wanted to be left alone. Peter will boycott you and ruin you in busi- ness
 "I ordered Wise out. A few days later Wise came into the front part of the store, which I had rented to 8 cloth ing firm, and asked if received any bene- fitfrom the sales of that part of the store. On receiving an affirmative reply he stated that boycott had been ordered on me, and that if the clothing ian was wise he would get out as soon as pos sible, which he did" MT. Callaghan says that he will push the matter to the end. and that he has plenty of evidence against the accused. ~
 A telegram was sent to MT. Powderly to-day to the effect that bail would be furnished him at this place. The hear. ing Is set for Saturday, Nov. 80.

An Eccentric SchoolITeacher's VIII,
! New York Sun.
The taking of testimony in the suit
I to set aside the will of VIM. w. Mer-
Ram, the eccentric school teacher,
who fell dead in his schoolroom at
| Springs, T.. l., few months ago, was
| begun before Surrogate Tuthill at
Rivcrhead this week. Mr.. Merriam
left his entire estate, worth about
500, 900, to the United States govern
ment. He was the member of the
family having the control of the pub
LEGATION of Webster's dictionary. His
sisters are the contestants of the will.
Richard Rayner, stepsOn of Mr..
Kent, of Manorville, at whose house
Mr.. Merriam boarded, testified that
Mr.. Merriam would get up at . or 3
o'clock in the morning and blow tin
horn, and shout and sing until he
reused the whole neigh borhoOd, when
he would go back to bed again. On
these occasions, his favorite songs
were: "Nine little tomcats and ten
little devils" and 1.-THE COW jumped
over the moOn.n
The witness said there was young
woman teacher in the school where
WI -hCl lldih JduS llO " liz uuu lCu udli (.
Mr.. Merriam disliked the color of her
hair so much that he told the witness
that he was of mind to kiss her as a
means of forcing her to resign, He
even went so far as to suggest to wit
ness the advisability of burning the
school down in order to get rid Of the
young woman.
Mrs. Hannah Kent also told about
the blowing of the tin horn in the
night. Mr.. Merriam had told the
witness how the boys at school
plagued him. They black ened his
face, pulled his spectacles off, and at
recess in winter they took him out
and rolled him in the snow.
Mr.. Merriam made great many
wills, and it was said that he had
contract with lawyer to draw them
up at so much apiece. He had a
special regard for the little girls who
attended his school, and whenever
he selected a new favOrite among
tn EN- he made a new will in her ia
vor. When he could not get a school
to teach he would open one at his own
expense and hire children to attend.
When he made his last will he told
his friends he had left his money to
the government because the govern
ment was rich and could afford to
fight his relatives. He also said that
unless James G.. Blaine was made
secretary of state he would cut the
