Homer L. McGaw is out in lengthy
counter-blast. He reviews the charges
brought against him at Atlanta and attacks
q member of the K. of L. who was most
forward in bringing about his expulsion.
He refers to official evidence which puts a
different complexion on the published re-
ports of the proceedings of the K. of L. at
Atlanta. Space will not admit of a
verbatim report, but, the chief points
touched upon are as follows:
After alluding to the resolution passed in
the Window Glass Workers convention q.
A. 3O0) in July, asking the General Assem-
bly, of the Z. of L. to expel Joseph L. Evans
and himself from that order for "antago-
nizing tbe affairs of L. A. 300, Mr.. McGaw
states that neither he nor Mr.. Evans re-
ceived any notice of such resolution until
four months later, viz, on the 7th of No
vember, or four days previous to the meet
ing of the General Assembly at Atlanta.
Arrived in Atlanta, he demanded a copy of
the charges. None were given to him. No
charges were formulated. Campbell,
taking the floor, charged him with
being the prosecutor in the jean
nette case, and with having been
active in securing evidence against him and
others of L. A. 300. McGaw admitted the
charges as true, and produced documentary
evidence connecting members of L. A. 300
with the case. He charges that it was not
until he had proved that the English glass;
blowers had come to this country by invita-
tion of L. A. 800 that the charges Of slander
were made. Among all, including Pow
derly, who accused him of sIander,
none could adduce proof. Charles
Litchman, former Secretary of the
Insurance Department, charged him
with saying that he Litchman) had
been crooked in his accounts. He could
not prove that McGaw had made those ac-
cusations. McGaw then accused Litchman
with leaving Cincinnati with S537 10 of the
rrder's money, and which he did not turn
over for year. Litchman could not deny
this. Mr.. McGaw then refers to the official
proceedings of the General Assembly for
against Litchman. He quotes from
the records and correspondence, and
shows that Litchman's shortcomings existed,
and were known to Powderly, who
was worried over them. Mr. McGaw says
that 1t was only after having threatened
Litchman with criminal proceedings for
the recovery of the money due to the order
that he sent him remittance covering the
amount he had received as. secretary since
going out of Office, but nothing toward
settling the balance of the funds he held
while In Office. Mr.. MeGaw then refers to
his record for the three years he acted as In
sursnce Secretary. In 1884 the record has
it that he had managed "with signal ability,
success and honesty" and was reelected by
acclamation. In 1885 his accounts secured
"a cordial and hearty Endorsement" and in
1886 the Committee on Insurance reported
that his accounts had been faithfully and
correctly kept"

MYSTERIOUS VAULT,
Mrs. Hob-Nail ReIIly's Exciting Experience
With Her Husband.

Mrs. Hob-Nail ReIIIy's Exciting Experience
With Her Husband.
Mrs. Mary Reilly last evening went to
the Fourteenth ward station and lodged a
rather curious complaint Mrs Reilly is
the wife of "Hob-Nail' Reilly, formerly of
Old avenue, but now located at what IS
known us the "Soho Vaults This estab-
lishment is on Second avenue, near Canton
street, and has a number of vaults cut in
the solid rock underneath the B. & o. rail-
road. The house, it was alleged, was run
by Reilly as 'speak-easy." 1t was raided
BY the police in October.
Mrs. Reilly last night said that yesterday
afternoon her husband took tin tray and
taking her back in the vaults made her
hold the tray on her head While he fired at
the tray with revolver. He fired six shots
before she succeeded in getting away. In
support of her story she exhibited the per-
forated tray.
Officers Maegle and O'Brien went to the
house after him. Mrs. Reilly persisted that
he was there and they entered the vaults to
hunt for him. Their search was fruitless,
however, and they left without him. They
stated that the construction of the vaults
was so complicated and there were so many
side rooms and chambers that if he had been
there he was perfectly safe from them. In
the main vault, however, they discovered a
comfortably fitted up barroom with guam
tity of beer, and Reilly will be arrested at
the first opportunity.

TARIFF FOR REVENUE
Denounced as Fraud by the President Of
the Wool Growers Association =
Complete Free Trade More
Logical Measure.

WASHINGTON, December 4.-The feature
of the Wool Growers convention to-day was
the annual address of Hon. Columbus
Delano, of Ohio. President of the National
Wool Growers Association. He began by
saying that both food and clothing should
be produced at home, not purchased from
abroad, when the people who consume them
have facilities for their production. Neces-
sity alone can justify their importation.
Continuing, he said:
Suppose the nation involved in a war; foreign
| or domestic, of serious dimensions. like that
| for example of the last rebellion; suppose our
commerce embarrassed as it was at that time;
| suppose our demand for wool was no greater
| than at that time; and suppose that free
| trade" had destroyed the sheep industry. and
| turned over to foreign nations the production
| of our wool; and we may be able to appreciate
the folly if not the crime, Of attempting to put
| wool on the free list.
The speaker then read statistics from well
known authorities tending TO show the
necessity OF protection in order to preserve
the wool industry, and then said:
No further argument is needed to prove that
free wool Is death to this industry, and none
who prefer the interests of this nation 70 those
blow to our wool growers. and to the nation
at large as free wool will inf1ict and none but
those under influence OF personal interest or
traditional prejudices will fail to admit that
the attempt to put wool on the free list is An
economic blunder. To those who favor free
trade as our true policy, address no protest
against free wool. From their standpoint they
are right. If it be free trade, let us have it
system, pure and simple, without the adul-
teration of duplicity under the name of
incidental protection" Let us do one or the
other, and have an economic policy that is en-
titled to an honest and correct name. Tariff
for revenue" with incidental protection is a
delusion and a fraud. We need national
policy on this subject honestly named. If pro-
lection, let it be general and uniform. embrac-
ing all American Industries that can be profit
ably pursued by our people.
AT the conclusion of the address the
meeting adjourned and the delegates in
body called on the President and Secretary
Rusk. Their brief interview with the Pres
ident as. well as the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, is said to have been of a very satisfac-
tory character.

THE BOARD OF REVIEW.
Some Important TrOtring Cases Discussed
and Held Over.

Some Important TrOtIing Cases Discussed
and Held Over.
NEW YORK. December 4-The Board of Re-
view of the National Trotting Association re-
convened to-day at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
Judge P. P. Johnston. of Lexington, KY, in
the chair The other members of the board
present were NJ. NJ. Morse, Secretary; George
W. Archer, of Rochester; Governor NJ. g.
Bulkeley of Connecticut; L. 6. Delano, of
Chillicothe, o., and John L. Mitchell, Of Nil
waukee..
The first case which came up for review was
the application of Dan DeNoyelles for one-half
the winnings of the trorter Nelson in the
$4,000 race trotted at Hartford last summer.
The investigation of the case was concluded
and it will be decided in executive session.
This disposed Of as well as number of other
cases, the board entered upon the investigation
in the Balch stallion race for $4,000 trotted ar
Boston last fall. In the Balch stallion case the
board decided to give no decision until the
next meeting held at Chicago in May 1890, un-
less a special meeting OF the board is called for
that purpose. This is considered by the friends
of the accused parties as quite point gained.
Among the more important cases next consid-
cred were the expulsion of Wm,B. Wright, of
Canada, from the association, and the exclu-
sion of the bay gelding John L., of Boston,
from the association tracks. The application
of George Tafts, of Michigan, for reinstate-
ment, was denied, as was the application of

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcHI
CINCINNATI, December 4-There may be
something in the story that Cincinnati is to
have Brotherhood club after all. One of the
men who is named as willing to become mag
nate, says:
"Our plans are not sufficiently matured to be
made public at this time, but in the course OF
the next few days we will be in a position to
come to the front and explain to the lovers OF
baseball in Cincinnati Just what we propose TO
do. Some two weeks ago was approached TO-
gether with a couple of other gentlemen by the
Broth herhood people who laid their plans before
us and wanted to know if we would book a
club in this city. We agreed 20 support them
on one condition that either Ewing or Comis-
key should be placed in charge Of the team.
Mr.. Stern will have avery strong team in the
field next season, and we necessarily must have
a good drawing card in order TO secure the
patronage Of the public"
Ewing is exceedingly anxious that Brother
hood club should be located in Cincinnati, and
he will do everything in his power to bring
about the desired result.

events in St. Louis for six months,
he wrote his brother, Villa m
F., in Germany: "Leave everything behind
and come; there is an opening for us in st.
Louis" After the brothers had worked to-
gether two years at the bench, they saved
enough money to start business of their
own. 1t was success from the beginning.
Being general mechanics, they turned their
attention principally to manufacturing, and
in 1862 began the stamping of tinware and
the manufacture Of anything offered, all of
which-under their close attention-built
up and prospered so that in 1868 they were
enabled to begin manufacturing on large
scale. They then incorporated their bust
ness under the name of the st. Louis Stamp
ing Company, but kept the stock in their
own hands, except portion divided among
their sons. In 1874, in connection with his
brother, VIM. F., he invented ''granite
ironware." In 1881 they built large rolling
mills, so that at tDresent-betweent the factories
and rolling mills-they employ about ], 200
people. He has a family of ten children
three sons and seven daughters-the eldest
being 2S and the youngest about years old.

SAN FRANCISCO, Decembe A-The first man
''King'' Kelly struck to sign a Brotherhood
contract after completing his long Journey
from Boston yesterday was the crack pitcher
John Clarkson, but Mike was doomed to disap-
pointment Clarkson wants more money than
the Brotherhood offers him in the first place
and in the second has not much faith in the
financial success of the scheme. Then Kelly
offered the much-sought twirler $500 out of his
own pocket if he would only sign with the
Brotherhood Still Clarkson refused, and thus
the matter stands. However, if Clarkson don't
wilt when THE Only Mike" and his fellow en-
thusiasts have exhausted their oratorical pow-
ers, he will indeed be considered headstrong
and coldhearted in the extreme.
Late last night Billy Nash, Boston's third
baseman, affixed his signature to one of KelIy's
Brotherhood contracts Camel, Hardie Rich
ardson, Radbourne and Daily are in the swim.
and the first two mentioned, it is SAID, would
sign tonight. Fred Carroll told Kelly that he
would take his (Carrolls) contract back with
him, and the $1,000 beauty's phiz is wreathed
in continual series of smiles at his success.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DTsPATcH.I
NEW CASTLE, December About 2:S0 this
morning terrific explosion shook the busi-
ness portion of New Castle, and smoke and
flames were seen coming from the st. Cloud
Hotel, one of the largest in the city. Natural
gas had accumulated in the kitchen of the
hotel, and this, becoming ignired, caused the
explosion. The kitchen building, tWo-story
brick, was Ieveled to the ground. The female
help occupied the rooms over the kitchen.
and when the explosion took place the floor
raised and the girls, five in number, were
hurled into the debris and then rolled into the
street. Strange to say with the exception of a
few bruises they were uninjured.
The kitchen building was totally wrecked
and the greater portion of the window panes in
the main building blown out Bricks were
hurled for 100 feet through the windows Of ad-
joining building. 1t is supposed that the gas pipe
leaked. An alarm of fire was sounded, and
on the arrival of the department the fire among
the debris was soon extinguished. The loss
will reach So O0O.
