Keefe's Kick.


Boston, Oct. 11.-Pitcher Keefe, Of the
New York Base Ball CLUB and secretary of
the brotherhood Of league players was here
yesterday and his opinion on the war that
seems to be impending between the play
ers and magnates was sought. He was
very non-committal, but remarked that the
players had vital grievances and that there
was no reason why the league should be
united after the way it had violated faith
with the players. He said: .We want
abolition Of classification of players and
we want the sale of players entirely done
away with. 1t is not true that we want to
share the purchase money! In answer to
questions Keefe said the brotherhood
would hold q meeting before the league
met and would probably appoint a COM
mittee with full powers which would ap.
pear before the league at its meetings TO
find out what it intended to do for the
players. When asked if the brotherhood
had determined to launch out for itself he
said: "You had better wait until the
league hold its meeting if you want to find
that out" He said he did not see why the
brotherhood could not make a success Of
such a movement. The public will 20 to

OF Interest to Ball rossers.

New YORK, Oct. 1O.-A stir was made in
the base ball circles this morning, when it
was learned that two New York base
ball clubs had been incorporated at
Albany within the past week, each club
having for its incorporators an entirely
different list of men. 1t appeared as
though the Gothamites were to be divided
into hostile factions by having two rival
clubs, having the same name and each
claiming to be the champions of the world.
President IDay of the New York cluD,
when asked this morning concerning the
dual incorporation of "The New York Base
Ball club" said: 81 was fully aware of the
first incorporation, but was not named as
one Of the directors, because I was not
here to sign the papers. The first incor-
poratlon was that of "The New York
Ball club the second was "The New York
Base Ball club.' Both interpretations are
for the giants, and both were made merely
to guard against any other than our club
playing under that name"

Tiger and Boa-Both Dead.

On the Sth Of August. not far from
Tanjong Prick, near Batavia, India, a
tiger was shot under peculiar circum-
stances. The sportsmen out in the jun
gle there heard a fearful rumpus going
on good way off. On reaching the
scene of the uproar they suddenly found
themselves face to face with tiger in
the coils of big snake ,swhich with its
mouth was endeavoring to get hold of
the tigers neck. The tiger, on the other
hand, was doing its best to reach the
neck Of the snake. After being momen-
tarily terror stricken by the sight, the
two sportsmen did not allow either ami
NAL time to perceive or attack them, but
forthwith took aim-the one at the head
of the tiger, the other at that Of the
snake. The tiger was hit behind the ear,
and the snake in the middle of the head.
The distance at which the shots were
fred was hardly fifteen PAGES. The
head of the former proved to be that of
a royal tiger.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Central Parks obelislz.

There is something pathetic In the
present condition of the obelisk in Gem
trail park, New York. It is going to
pieces, unable to Withstand the climatic
changes that exist on the island Of Man
haitian. This finty relic of long ago,
that stood unchanged amid the fierce
heat Of Egypt for twenty centuries, is
rapidly disintegrating after few years
exposure to the frosts and storms Of the
land Of its adoption. A few years ago
the grand old monolith was given o coat
ing Of parafine, the surface Of the stone
having been previously heated. But this
treatment has failed to stay the destroy
ing hand of the frost king, or to render
the obelisk proof against extreme
changes of temperature. But one course
is regarded as open in order that the
shaft may be preserved indefinitely, and
that is to put up building that shall in
close it. There is no difficulty in the
way Of this procedure, and a high domed
sedifice should put barrier between
the pitiless elements and this superb and
historical mass of Pittsburg Bull

Horrible Scene at Inouest

COLUMBUS, s. c., Dec. 3O.-At the cor
oner's inquest on the negroes lynched at
Barnesvllle, held Saturday night, was a
scene Of tragedy terrible to see.
On the left side of the road were the
bodies Of Ripley johnson and Mitchell
Adams, charged with the murder of
Heatfeman. On the opposite side were
six bodies Of the negroes charged with
the murder of young Robert Martin.
They were tied to trees on the roadside
with their backs to the saplings. Ropes
were passed around the trees then around
the bodies of the men. The frightful
character OF the wounds was shown by
the testimony of physicians at the in
quest to be in brief as follows:
Henry Furz, aged "a, ten balls in body;
Peter Bell, aged 40, one ball in back of
neck at bace of skull; Harrison johnson.
aged 35, four balls in body; Ralph Coral,
aged 60, six balls in head and body, eth
er of which would have been fatal; Judge
Jones, aged 20, eight balls, one in brain;
Robert Phoenix, aged %, four balls in
body; Ripley johnson, aged 80, eight
balls in body, one in face; Mitchell
Adams, aged 35, five balls, one through
brain.
The jury returned as their verdict that
the eight men came to their death from
gunshot wounds inflicted by party OF
parties unknown.
After the inquest the negroes were mott,
fed that they might remove the bodies il
they desired and the families of Ripley
johnson and Mitchell Adams removed
their bodies to their homes. The Other
six remained and were treated as mur
derers and outcasts, neither whites mol
negroes caring to remove them.
The town declines to bury them be
cause they were killed outside its limits
but offers to furnish coffins if the negroel
will bury them. The remaining negroes
declare their purpose is to leave the
country but assert that they will maxi
no retaliation.
