Creates Considerable TaIk-Peter Wise Ar.
rested and Released on Bail.
The "Callaghan conspiracy case" as it is
called, is creating good deal of talk in
Scottdale. Mr.. Callaghan was seen last
evening, and when asked about the unpub-
lished letters of his to T. V. Powderly, he
said that Mr.. Byrne seemed to know more
about such letters than he did.
''If there are any such letters in exist
ence," said Mr.. Callaghan, ''they are evil
IDENTIFY forgeries. 1t cannot be otherwise as
no communication from me to Powderly
would have any bearing on the present case.
1 wrote to Powderly in regard to the boy
colt being waged against me by Wise and
Byrne, but he ignored my letter entirely.
The Reading Railway story is all bosh.
There is not a word of truth in the
statement I returned the pass sent by the
Reading Company when was member of
the Legislature and have had no dealings
with the company since. The statement
that I am unknown is ridiculous. I am
we'll known to people of this and surround
ing counties and have worked hard to
make my way in life, and do not feel like
being bulldozed BY lot of scoundrels."
Peter Wise was arrested by Constable
Gay this afternoon, and gave bail for his
appearance at the hearing. Mr.. Wise is
not disposed to say much about the matter,
but declares he was in no way implicated
in a conspiracy against Mr.. Callaghan. He
emphatically denies that he ever told Calla-
CHAN that he would be boycotted and his
business ruined. He claims that Callaghan
is simply fgurehead in the affair, and is
being led on by outside parties.

are the League clubs signing so many young
sters for? is an opportune question.
READER-Both codes of rules demand a
"stand-up" fight but the term is somewhat in
definite; hence the referee often has to deter
mine whether or not real ''stand-up fight" Is
going on.

1t Causes Little Surprise Among the Prince
ton FOotbnIlists.
PRINCETON, N. J., November 2L-Harvard's
action in withdrawing from the Intercollegiate
Football League causes but little surprise at
Princeton, since it is well known that Prince
toms series Of victories in every branch of out
door sport-basebaT, football and track ath-
letics-during the last Is months have not been
very popularity received at Cambridge. In fact
Harvard's football record in the games playe
with Princeton for the past Il years has not
been quite what she might have hoped for it to
be, for during this time Harvard has won but
two football games from Princeton, and these
only by very small scores, in the autumns of
1882 and 1887.
Harvard's defeat at lacrosse last spring left
the pennant with Princeton, which she had
held the year previous Immediately after re-
ceIving this defeat Harvard withdrew from the
Lacrosse League.
If last Saturdays football game had turned
out differently the feeling at Harvard might
have been very much changed from what it
now is.
Cowan, who is a member of the Princeton
eleven declines to referee the Yale-Harvard
game on the ground that after the i'll treat
ment that Princeton has received from Har-
ward, Princeton man could only with great
difficulty satisfactorily render decisions that
he might be called upon TO make.

THEY WANT A MANAGER.
A Peep at the McKeesport County Leagu
Club Affairs.

Peep at the McKeesport County League
Club Affairs.
Manager Torreyson, of McKeesport, is look
ing for good practical manager for the pro-
fessional club, and desires to secure more than
one, also about four good scorers, as he has re-
quests from the Tri-State League clubs for the
same. They will be paid 500 per month.
Until yesterday over 100 applications for posi-
tions on the club have been received, but he
has only signed one man, as he Is devoting his
attention to securing good manager for the
club. The stock is all taken and about 81 600
will be put out TO place the park in good condi-
tion. The club will play 56 games at home with
Tri-State Clubs, and the same number abroad
and will start out for the season, April Il
The McKeespOrts, of the Allegheny County
League, will be as strong as last season and
will be managed by local baseball men of the
city, and during the absence of the professional
club Allegheny County League games will be
played here. McKeesport had difficult time
getting into the Tri-State League. The Mansfield
club fought hard to get the place that Nc
keesport got, b1t was outgeneraled by Tor
reyson. This is one of five clubs that tried to
get in ahead Of the McKeesports in the
League.
The club will have not less than Il salaried
players, and it is thought that Miller, Torrey-
son and Provins, of the old League club will
be among them, although Provins is the only
one who is signed.
