Lexington, Ga, can boast of the
most unique club house in the world.
The young men of that town built a log
hut, which they chinked with clay,
making it as snug and tight as a pal
ace. At one end is an enormous open
fireplace feeding up to primitive
chimney. The c ub, which embraces
the best young men. has weekly sup
per. The day before the supper a huge
wood fire is built in the fireplace. and
the next evening there is bed OF coal
and ashes that king might envy. The
birds, fish, 'possum and oysters are
cooked in the glowing ashes. and some
wonderful bits Of gastronomy they turn

port of The City,
At the meeting of the Street Car EN-
ployes' Assembly, to which other men now
on strike were admitted, held in Z. of l..
Hall on Fifth avenue last night, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Pit tsburg Traction Com
pany has seen fit to organize a powerful cor
poration, and in order to make it a
success, has called into its service the
Pinkerton thugs and scabs, who have been a
stink in the nostrils of the honest public, not
only here. but in Chicago, New York and
Philadelphia.
They lay forth the claim that their former
employers should not have the rights of Ameri-
can citizens. while they are slaves to the COM
Resolved That we, the former employees of
the PIttsburg Traction Company, believing we
have done nothing wrong as American
citizens in connecting ourselves with what
having been discharged for simply joining an
organization for our own protection, appeal to
all labor organizations and the public in gen.
eral for support
We ask that you will not patronlze the road
while it is run by such unprincipled scabs as
are employed in our places.
We can assure the public in general that we
have no desire to commit any depreda-
tions that would make us liable to the strong
arm of the law, believing that the company
would be only too glad should such steps be
taken. We are out on principle and are deter
mined to carry this to an honorable and honest
termination.
We tried all honest means to bring about an
amicable settlement, but without avail, as
our committee did not have an op-
pottSunity pSn s3.;o. TO- effees i,- settlement,
blank to treat with any committee save that of
scabs and Pinkerton thugs.

LONDON, December 3e.-Apropos of the
allegation of Mr.. Parnell and his friends
that the action brought against the Home
Rule leader by Captain O'Shea was insti-
gated by Mr.. houston, in the interest Of the
Times, in the expectation that it would
have the effect to weaken Mr.. Parnell's suit
for libel against the Times and draw public
attention away from the commissions re-
port on the forged letters, it is stated on
authority that the hearing of O'Shea's
case is fixed for time concurrent with the
examination of Parnell's suit against the
Times. The coincidence may be accidental,
but nobody can be found who believes that
it is, and as to the issue of the O'Shea ac-
ton, opinion is general that the Captain
will emerge from the contest the most dis
creditable and despicable man in all Eng
land,
An attempt was made to-day to interview
Captain O'Shea regarding the statements
made by Mr.. Parnell in connection with the
divorce suit. Captain O'Shea refused to dis
cuss the matter, but said he advised Mr..
ParnelI to assume the usual position of CO.
respondent and to allow himself to
be served with a citation. Captain
O'Shea subsequently stated that
there was not the slightest
truth in Mr.. Parnell's assertion that the
suit had been instigated by the Times
Neither the; Times nor Mr.. Houston, he said,
knew anything Of the action before it be-
came known to the public. In proof OF this
assertion he produced a letter from the
editor of the Times, dated last evening, ask
ing him to confirm or correct the report
that he had filed petition for divorce.

THE ERIE STRIKE SETTLED.
A Satisfactory Agreement Reached ON the
Terms of the Men.


Terms of the Men.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, December 30.-A sub-com-
mittee of about dozen engineers and other
trainmen was sent over this morning to
see General Manager E. B. Thomas,
by the standing grievance commit
tee of the entire Erie system
which has been in session in Jersey City
since Saturday. The instructions from the
general committee had been very explicit.
The subcommittee demanded that the
book of rules. with its 296 examin-
alton questions, be abolished, and that the
four suspended engineers be reinstated,
with full pay during their idleness. 1t was
also decided to get a written agreement from
the Company, signed by the officers.
After the conference, Manager Thomas
said
The matter has been settled satisfactorily to
both the men and the management. We have
reinstated the four engineers and withdrawn the
written examination. The men expressed a
willingness to take an oral exam
nation. and it will not differ much,
probably. from what was contained
in the seemingly Objectionable book of ques-
tioDs. The whole trouble arose from a mis-
understanding as to what the company re-
Quested, and as soon as the men found that
out, the difficulty was soon adjusted.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., December 3d.
Detectives are hunting for Dexter G.
Turner, who, according to statements of
State Auditor Kyler, now in this city, is
one of the most accomplished insurance
rascals that ever operated in this section Of
the country. Turner" said the State
Auditor, "came to South Dakota
in June representing himself as
the State Agent of South Da-
kota for the Citizens Life Association,
of Cherokee, La. He Immediately proceeded
to organize the State in systematic manner
to solicit life insurance for his company
Agents were appointed amongsthe farmers
and laboring classes. The attractive
feature of his plan was to issue
conioint policy covering both
man and wife, and in some instances the en-
tire family. Business came pouring in at
an enormous rate. notes or cash being taken
for premiums from the policy holders or
anything that could be squeezed from their
customers. When q note was taken it was
sold at whatever figure the bank was willing
to nay for it.
1.-THE company Turner represented had no
authority to do business in this State, nor
did Turner or any Of his agents have a GER
tifcate of authority issued by my Office.
Anyway, their work has been fraudulent
scheme from its inception. The amount of
business done is enormous, and policies
written will reach 81, 900, 000 The matter
has been placed in the hands of the County
Attorney of Dawson county, who will in
stitute proceedings in the United States
Courts for collection of fines against the
company, which are $1,000 for each policy
written.
Turner is an old offender in this line of
business. He came to Dakota for the dis
tinct purpose of swindling all he could in
the insurance line. All his agents, of whom
there are at least 30, are guilty, and shall
be lenient with them, for they are innocent
parties to the swindle."

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
LOUISVILLE December 80. - President
aelps stated to-day that the American Asso-
1tion next season would be represented by u
ong clubs. The Finance Committee, which
IS for several weeks past been investigating
financial standing of the different clubs
nr0te Mr.. Phelps letter to-day, in which they
pictured for the Association a bright future.
The financial backing of the numerous appli-
cants was carefully examined into, and the re-
suit was so satisfactory that the committee
could not distinguish between them. A I2-club
league was then proposed. and a letter was &C
c0rdingly written President Phelps apprising
him of the scheme. A meeting will be called
next week at Rochester, when the clubs will
be admitted and the Association of 1890 made
complete.
yes" said President Phelps to-day. "a move
ment is on foot to organize a l2-club league,
and think the project an extremely favorable
pne. Each day the prOsDecIS for the Associa-
Hon grow brighter, and when the season opens
In my opinion the Association will be equal, if
not superior, to any other baseball organiza-
ton. The Rochester people were anxious for
is TO h9ld the meeting in that city. and will
call it next week, although / have not decided
upon the day. The many applicants lave all
been reported in good financial standing and 1
have no doubt as to the success of the Asso-
citation. i cannot say what clubs will comprise
the new association. Syracuse was admitted
but they withdrew shortly afterward, and now
they are ANXIOUS to be taken back and will
make their formal application in a few days"
In regard to the report sent out from Wash
ngTon yesterday, TO the effect that the Assocl-
alton had made oYertures TO the Washington
slub President Phelps said to-day: ''It is true
hat committee went TO Washington TO look
over the ground, as it had been stated on good
authority that Washington would withdraw
rom the League. The committee, so far as my
knowledge extends went there for the simple
purpose of asking the Washington people to

skins preparing TO
Fight.
PIERRE, S. D., December 30.-The fever
ish excitement over the attempt of boomers
to found town site on the reservation
unabated. The boomers have been acting
mysteriously, and it has been learned that
they are still making preparations to exc
cute their scheme. They held a Sc
cret meeting tonight in an old
building about half mile
from here, and it is learned that they con-
templated moving over the river tonight or
tomorrow night. 1t has also developed
that the portion of the land which they in
tend squatting on is not portion of the
reservation, but part of the famous Mile
Square, but which has heretofore been occu-
pied by half-breeds and squaw men as part
of the reservation. In this case there is
certainly some probability of their success.
They have thorough organization, and
are led by very shrewd men, who will not
stop at anything to carry their point The
half-breeds are einforcing themselves, and
will undoubtedly fight desperate battle be-
fore they will yield. J. w. Shinn, former
member OF the Ohio Legislature, is the lead
er OF the boomers, and he has undoubtedly
laid his plans well. DR.. Brown, OF this city,
and party named "Jesse James," are his
seconds. They have large installment of
arms, thus showing that they are desperate.
Business has been almost entirely ne
elected here to-day, everybody being busy,
excitedly discussing the situation. The
boomers are constantly making converts for
their cause and with reinforeements will
probably be able to take possession.

GLADSTONE HONORED EVERYWHERE.
Only Rnbid Tory OrEaEHn. Unkiud Words

Only Rabid Tory OrgaEpHas Unkiud Words
for the x.Premier.
LONDON, December 30.-Hundreds of
meetings and banquets are being held here
and elsewhere tonight in honor of the 8Oth
birthday of Mr.. Gladstone, and all of the
newspapers pay their respects to him in
notices more or less complimentary in pro-
portion to their leaning toward Liberalism,
or the cloSeness of their affiliations with the
party OF the other extreme. Only one
paper, however, has had the bad taste, not
to say downright brutality, to seize the op-
portunity Afforded by the occasion to openly
attack the ex-Premier.
This exhibition of virulent party spite is
made by the st. james Gazette, which de-
clares that he is only supported by
"Jacobins, Cutler Rapoos and Irish dis
loyalty" To this scurrilous outburst, how
ever, nobody has paid the slightest attention
and doubtless the author is now heartily
ashamed of the work
