MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
The Horrible Discovery Made By Wan.

The Horrible Discovery Made By Wan.
dering Hunter In the Woods.
ST. PAUL, November S.-Y yesterday Theo-
dore Delaney, hunter, found mans hand
near Lake Johanna, and the Coroner to-day
Investigated, the result being the discovery
of much mutilated body and indications
of q sensational murder. The corpse was
that of man about feet 10 inches, and
probably 80 or 45 years old. The top of the
skull had been sawed of, there was evil
dence of scalp Wounds, the left arm was
badly fractured and two of the upper ribs
were crushed in. Beside the hole
where the body was dumped was 3
small hatchet, rusted from blood stains.
Coroner Quinn found the body almost two
feet beneath the ground covered by piece
of carpet. Beneath the body was a common
tar barrel, burned inside. The probability
is that the body of the man was carried in
the barrel, and the ghouls, being disturbed,
fastened the work by throwing in the barrel
cut in twain and the trunk and lower part
doubled up together. Upon the head of the
barrel was nailed cleat upon which had
been carved ga Traitor"
The Coroner was of the opinion that the
body had not been. buried more than two
months. But one plausible theory has been
advanced. 1t will be remembered that
bloody row occurred at a Swede picnic at
Bass Lake something over year ago.
There was considerable excitement at the
time at the mysterious disappearance of a
young Swede named Andrew johnson, who
was at the picnic, and who was said to have
participated in the fight However, the
body has evidently not been dead so long as
year.

Much Satisfaction.
ST. PAUL, November S.-The case of
George NJ. Lyon against Albert Seip, on
trial yesterday in the United States Circuit
Court, before Judge Nelson, has come to a
disastrous end for the plaintiff, as the jury
this morning returned a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of cent. The case has
created considerable interest.
Mr.. Lyon, a Chicago gentleman, sued
Mr.. Seip, of Duluth, for SIPS, 900, alleging

Al PRATTs VIEWS.
he Returns From New York and Talks
About the brotherhood.

ne hetuFn1 from new IOfk ana Talks
About the brotherhood.
A. G. Pratt returned from New YORK yester-
day, where he has been ON private business and
also to make few notes of the Brotherhood
gathering.
Mr.. Pratt in answer to few questions, said
that as things looked the new league seemed to
be a 90. But" said he, "the players came toa
sudden termination in their deliberations, and
that seemed to surprise everybody. 1 now
have grave doubts about any success that the
players can make of the affair. OF course, a
few of them who have their own interests more
than those of anybody else at stake are pre-
sumably enthusiastic about it For instance,
Jim o. Rourke remarked to me: Tell NImlck
his name is Dennis Now that may be all right
in its way, but really don't see why the few
players now in New York who are now running
things should get their heads so inflated. The
number of capitalists present was WoIully snort
OF what was expected,
However, as Mr. Spalding said, the sooner
the conflict comes the better. He said the
affair had been brewing for seasons, and would
certainly have to explode one way or other. He
really has no fear of the result, because he is
certain that an enterprise of the kind Will take
more capital than any of the supposed wise
men have any idea of. / can assure you that
neither Mr.. Spalding or any one OF the
League nlagnates who l have met is in the
least concerned about the affair. The League
meeting next week will 60 on just as II all the
old players were signed. Mr.. Spaldlng GER
taiuly thinks and is confident in the belief that
every player of the League of last season will
be prevented from playing with new organi-
zation and that those who aid them in violat-
ing their con tract can be sued for damages.
Now let me tell you this, that the firm of
which Senator Evarts is member, gives the
opinion that every player who signed the
League contract last season must remain with
the respective clubs next season il desired.
Evarts & Co. were paid 8, 900 for that opinion,
and let no man say that firm of that standing
would give an opinion contrary to their judg-
ment for all the money there is in the League.
However, the players, as we saw them in New
York are more like millionaires than anything
else. They are, if anything, little ahead Of
the fashion. After all, they are launching out
on business, and drawing others after them,
that is very, very experimental. l say, as q busi
ness man: Beware"

Ladies, Misses and Children.

We are running our workroom steadily
on the above goods, producing handsome
and unique effects in all the leading fabrics.
both woolen and silk. We rarely ever make
two suits the same, SO that ladies buying
from us do not obtain factory styles, but are
equal in elegance and in design, trimming
and workmanship to those made to order by
the most fashionable modistes.
Ladies who will do us the favor of an ex-
amination will at once discover that the
whole tout en- semble of our suits is entirely
different from those offered in ordinary suit
departments, while the prices are never
higher, and, in most cases, considerably less.
We make 10 charge for alterations.
We desire to call particular attention to
the fact, that nowhere else in this city can
there be found such an extensive assortment
of Misses and Children's made-up suits. It
will be interesting to mothers to look
through this department and see the very
cute, and nobby styles which will interest
and please them.

he Thinks Inc brotherhood scheme Won't
Last Till May.
The Philadelphia Inquirer in its account of
the termination of the Brotherhood meeting,
says;
President Stern. of the Cincinnati club, dropped
in to see how things were moving two or three
times. When he heard tonight that the new
League had adjourned without perfecting per-
manent organization Mr.. Stern said: Last night
was willing to, bet eco to 500 that the Brother
hood would not last until September l, tonight
prepared to bet 600 to $50 that it will not last
until May l." President A. g. Spalding, of the
Chicago club, stopped in front of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel tonight. 80 they are still going on, are
they?'' said he. well have yOu heard of any
capitalist who has yet put q dollar into the
scheme?'' MIR. Spalding did not wait for an
answer, but sauntered away with his brother.
The National League men are jubilant tonight.
They regard the failure of the Brotherhood to per-
feet an organization as big flop. The absence of
capitalists from Brooklyn and Pittsburg is COM
mented upon. and they point with Significance to
the fact that very little financial strength has been
shown.

NEW YORK, November 6-The National
League men were happy to-day. In fact, when
they were spoken to about the Players League
they would close one eye and smile. President
Day said that it was quite evident that the
hackers of the new scheme did not care to put
their money in the venture without some
chance of getting a return. He was under the
impression that the last of the Players League
had been heard OF, and that before another
meeting Of the hackers of the new scheme
could take place many Of the players would
see their mistake and sign League contracts.
But few of the players and hackers renamed
in town until to-day. The Committee on Or
ganization had a short meeting this afternoon
at Nick Engle's but all information as TO what
was done was refused; in fact they said that
nothing new had been accomplished. AS soon
as the meeting came to an end the delegates
that were left began to make their wav home
They had nothing to say outside of the fact
that the prospects of the new League were Just
As bright as ever.
