The County League Selects the Four New
Clubs,

The meeting of the Allegheny County Base
ball League resulted in somewhat of a surprise
last night, so much so that there will be many
disgruntled amateur ball players in the county
to-day. The important business of the meet
ing was to select four clubs to complete the
eight of which the league will consist next

siders as far as the general expectations have
been concerned.
Mr. j. B. Jones' of Homestead, occupied the
chair in the absence OF President Mccarthy.
BraddOck was not represented at all. There
were eight applicants, and they were represent
ed as follows: Emsworth, w. R. Seidle and ].
W. Clark; Etna Stars, W. j. libby and L. L.
Gilbert: McKeesport, F. w. Carson and F. Tor
reyson: Riverside Greys, Ed Keenan, and j. NJ.
Reid. The names Of the other representatives
were not given.
After the claims and assurances of each an.
plicant had been fully stated the six delegates
representing the Homestead, East End
Athletics and the DuQuesne clubs letired and
had lively discussion regarding a selection of
four clubs The condition was that each club
be admitted by unanimous consent. Ellsworth
and the Etna Stars were soon agreed upon, but
there was long deadlock regarding the other
two The Sewickleys, the Kuehnes and the
Oaklands were each favored strongly and so
were the Greys and the Mckeesports. Finally
the two last named were selected. The Greys
were chosen chiefly because of their good back
ing and a promise from Mr. Nimick that they
can use Recreation Park when the Pittsburg
club is away. The Sewickleys were much dis
appointed, but member of the meeting stated
that the representatives of the club left the
meeting before the matter was settled or else
the club would have been chosen.
The representatives of the four newly ad-
mitted clubs, together with those of the old
members, then unanimously elected the follow
ing officers: President, j. w. Clark: vice-pres-
ieent j. B. Jones; secretary W. j. Barr; treasu-
rer and official scorer, n. P. Schooley. 1t was
also decided that each club nominate It's repre.
sentative to act on the Schedule Committed
The secretary will call a meeting when the
nominations have taken place.

JEALOUS OF MRS. CLEVELAND.
Southampton Choir Singers Thought the
Dominie's Wife Had Too Good a Voice.

Southampton Choir Singers Thought the
Dominie's Wife Had Too Good a Voice.
NEW YORK, February 1.-THE people of
Southampton, L. l., are specializing as to
why the Rev. William Neal Cleveland,
brother of President Cleveland, was re-
jected by the members of the Presbyterian
Church when he was recently proposed for
appointment as pastor of the church.
Though it is admitted that some Of the
congregation voted against Dominic Cleve-
lands appointment because of President
Cleveland's politics, it is believed that there
were other reasons why Mr.. Cleveland was
not called to the Presbyterian Church.
Dominic Cleveland has a pretty wife, who
is good soprano singer. While the Domi-
ME was temporarily supplying the pulpit of
the church his wife's fine soprano voice was
heard at every service. 1t is said that the
female members of the choir became Jealous
of the dominie's wife, and it was openly
asserted by some of the choir that Mr..
Cleveland would never be called to be the
permanent pastor of the church. When the
question was voted upon Dominic Cleye-
land was rejected by vote of 80 to 35.
1t is now asserted that the young people
including the members of the choir, voted
solidly against Dominic Cleveland.

She Wants to Negotiate Her Own Treaties
With the United States.
OTTAWA, February 1S.-Prof Goldwin
Smithyhr, apostle of the unrestricted rec
iprocity" movement was the central figure
in the House of Commons this afternoon as
he listened to the debate on resolution in
troduced by Sir Richard Cartwright that
Canada should have the right of
negotiating her own treaties. Mr.. Cart
right spoke for one and half hours in
support of his resolution. He took the
view that great necessity existed why the
Dominion should be able to make her own
treaties. If the Canadian agents responsible
to Parliament had visited Washington w.
rious international questions would have
been settled long ago. Canadian in
terests. he contended, cannot be
trusted. in English ambassadors hands.
This is fundamental principle.
He said Canada had been driven into dam
gerous position in the spring of 1887 with
the American nation, when it was indig-
nant and exasperated at the treatment ac-
corded American fishermen by the Domin-
ion authorities"
George B. Foster, Minister of Finance,
replied that the political Mecca of Liberals
seems to be the United States and that
Canada has all the latitude she requires in
the negotiation of treaties. When a di-
vision was called at 1O:45 the resolution
was defeated by majority OF %. The vote

HOW PERKINS CoRREsPoNDED.
An Interesting Story About the Well Known
Sporting Man.

The general theme of conversation among
local sporting people yesterday was the death
of Charles Perkins, announced exclusively
among local papers in tn DISPATCH yester-
day morning. "Perk," as he was called, was
well known among sporting people from Maine
to California He was often in this city, and
STAYED here several weeks about two years ago.
In many respects he was a remarkable man,
and many amusing and interesting stories are
told of him. Among Others that friend OF
his told yesterday was the following:
II knew Charley WELL and a strange fact was
that he could neither read nor write. He could
read numbers. however, and count money as
well as any man living. Well, Charley had an
unique way of corresponding with his wife
when travelling. He always had bundle of
envelopes addressed to his own home in
Rochester, and he and his wife had system of
ciphers, and one was that when he was feeling
sick and not in the best of luck he would send
a IS bill home in the addressed envelope; when
he was feeling tolerably fair the fact was made
known by $40 bill, and when he was all right
he sent so. When he was in clover as the
saving is, he would go to the express office and
forward 500 bill One day asked him if be
was not afraid of losing some of his bills. He
replied: Why, J-y l keep all their numbers
and missed one, but when looked the num-

picion of Being One of st. CIair's Muir.
derous Assailants and Robbers.
Special Officer Michael Harrison, located
at the Union depot, last night arrested
man who is supposed to be one of the men
who shot L. K. st. Clair, at Williamsburg,
last Wednesday morning.
On the night before the shooting a young
man entered blacksmith shop at Wilkins
burg and asked for some soft water. While
the proprietor of the shop was getting it for
him, the young fellow engaged in conversa-
ton with John Graham, Williamsburg res
ident, who happened to be in the shop.
After he left the shop he was not seen again
in that locality; but, from the description OF
the men who ran away from st. Clair's place
the next morning, Graham and others have
concluded that he was one of the burglars.
Graham last night saw this man in Kessler's
saloon on Smithfeld street. He notified
Officer Harrison, who arrested the man at
once. He said his name was Samuel Rowe.
"were you at Williamsburg last Tuesday
night" asked the officer.
"No," replied Rowe. II was in McKees-
port that and the next night.
care you quite sure of that?"
"Yes, I'll swear to it"
Graham here asked Rowe If he had not
been the man who came into the blacksmith
shop at Williamsburg on that evening, but
he denied this until he saw that Graham
fully recognized him. Then he said he had
been at Williamsburg that evening in COM
pany with another man, whom he did not
know, and related the circumstan ces of his
asking for some soft water with which to
mix silver polishing compound be was
peddling.
The officer arrested him then, and placed
him in Central station. Rowe said he had
always lived at Beaver, until about two
months ago, when he came here, stopping
since his arrival at Johnson's lodging house
on Fifth avenue. The register there shows
that he has been stopping there about 10
days, registered from Chicago, and left on
Saturday, telling other men who lodge
there that he was going to Washington.
The officers think that Rowe is the man
they want, and he will probably be taken
to Williamsburg this morning.

REVIVING AN OLD PROJECT.
The p, C. & Y. Railroad May Rench the
Lake rs Well as Braddock-Good Evil
dence Concerning Recent Surveys.

Secretary Hill, of the Pittsburg, CHARTERS
and Youghiogheny Railroad, disclaimed
suavely yesterday all knowledge of the
right of way recently granted by the Brad
dock Councils to his road. He denied, too,
that his company had any idea of extending
the line to Braddock to reach the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works.
For all that, it is well-known fact that
the road has been trying to get into Brad
dock for some time. A corps of engineers
has been surveying a route back of Mt.
Washington, and it is strongly rumored
that the road is ready to begin the work of
extension.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie is said to be back
of the scheme. The object is to establish an
outlet to the lakes for the Edgar Thomson.
The plan is to use the Pittsburg, CHARTERS
and Youghiogheny, and extend it to connect
with the old Cleveland, Youngstown and
Pittsburg road, in which Mr. Carnegie is
heavily interested. This road runs from
Steubenville to Phalanx on the Nypano.
About go miles of new road would have to be
built from that point to reach the lakes.
The mysterious surveys made by a corps of
engineers near Mansfield would seem to in
dictate that Mr.. Carnegie intends to carry
out his cherished plans of having his own
road to the lake.
