The Grasshonnnr Var

"Thc Grasshopper War;" in the early
settlement of our country, was conflict
between two Indian tribes. An Indian
squaw with her little son, visited friend
in another tribe. Her boy caught a
grasshopper, and the boy of her friend
wanted it. The boys quarreled; then
the mothers took sides, and then the
fathers, and finally the two tribes waged

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 21.-The fran
chise OF the indianapolis League Base
Ball club has been surrendered to Pres
ident young, and the probabilities are
that there will be no club in this city
this year. The club is in debt about
$4,000, and but for the action OF a few
of its creditors would have continued at
least another season. Eight thousand
five hundred dollars of this Indebtedness
was due to seventeen gentlemen,
who, in 1887, each advanced $500. The
clubs extraordinary OUTLAWS last year
put it out of the power of the directors
to meet this debt. A few of their cred
itors threatened legal proceedings to
collect their money: and this threat
was what brought about to-day's action
by the directors. AS to the probable
disposition of the franchise, nothing is
known here. The franchise is valued
at $4,000, and in case that sum is
realized from its sale, the creditors Will
raise about so per cent. Local enthusi-
asts are hopeful that way may be
found to retain the club here, but no
one can suggest the method by which
this is to be accomplished.

The new board of supervisors of the

the support of the poor.
Supervisor Parry made motion that
the bills of the board be audited by a

The matter of the relative expense of
maintaining patients at the city hospital
or private institutions was brought up,
and City Physician Chase informed the
board that the expense of keeping pa
tient at the city hospital was less than
at other places, and the matter was
dropped. 1t was made to appear that
there were some inmates of the city

tons. After some discussion the super

Whereas. Charges are freely made that

Whereas This house cannot afford for its

Resolved, That the chair is hereby directed

rates from 81 to 50 below the regular

parties who purchased them. The
tickets are those of the Mis-

addition to these the Burlington official
has Rock Island ticket, which purports
to have been purchased at cut rate in
Chicago within the past two days. In
this instance, and, perhaps in all the
others, the cut rate is due to the custom
OF paying street commissions to per-

but they are no less violation of the
verbal agreement existing between the
managers of the Western roads.

HENGEL ARRIVES.
The Captain of the Minneapolis
Team on Hand.


E. J. Hengle, the second base OF the
Chicago Maroons last season, who is to
captain the Minneapolis team this year,
arrived yesterday. II think Morton
has laid the foundation of first-claSS
club so far" he said when asked by a
GLOBE reporter as to his opinion con-
corning the Flour City's representative
got Hanrahan, of the Maroons.
Short stop; Jim Daily in the field.
Tom Turner for either center field or
third base, Minnihan catcher, and will
get Dugdale, who caught for the Ma
rooms, too. He is certain to get Sprague,
and has Keogan reserved. Bingham is
signed, but is not expected to come be-
fore June. Morton is in Chicago now,
and has signed two more men,
but I don't care to say who they
are Just yet. He's after Shon-
berg, who played first base with
indianapolis last season in the National
league, and is looking for another third
base and left-felder. We shall start
out with three batteries, fourteen men
in all, and will make fight for first
place from the start: see if we don't.
You can have my salary if Minneapolis
gets below third place. Yes: the team
last year was strong, but was not man
aged properly. Something was the
matter anyhow, and the boys lost
heart"
Hengel is known as one of the most
conscientious players On the diamond.
and Manager Morton considers him one
of the best captains in the country. He
plays second as though he was educated
for the position, and is good all-aronnd
man. He captained the Maroons last
year, and played with Utica in the In
fernatonal league in 'S6 and 's7. In 's4
he was with the Chicago Unions and
st. Paul, and in '63 played with Spring
field in the Northwestern league.
