A Scheme to Deliver Milk in New York
 City Direct to the Consumers.
 M1DDLETowN, N. Y., Oct. 25.-An inn portant convention of representative milk dealers of this and adjoining States has been in session here for two days. The convention was called under the auspices of the Milk Dealers Union, an association recently set on foot for the purpose of combining the whole body of dairymen in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, who are engaged in supplying milk to the New York city market for mutual p rotection and advantage.
 The plan is to form branch union at every shipping station, subordinate to the central organization, which central bcdy shall be composed of delegates from the branches, and shall fix the prices of the product of the members of the union, and otherwise direct and regulate the traffic. It is complained by the producers that as matters now stand the New York Milk Exchange, an association of middlemen, has as sumed absolute control of the traffic and is accustomed to fix prices and terms that are ruinously inadequate and oppressive to the producers.
 It was stated at tho convention that the number of dealers engaged in shipping milk to New York and suburbs is about 10000, who ship about 17,0OO cans of forty quarts each day and real ize therefore at present prices about of shippers have been organized at that number of stations, and the principal work of the convention has been to take measures for expediting the organiza- tion of new branch unions with all pos sible energy.

THE ONTARIO DISASTER.
Six Passengers on the Steamer bio in tho Flames and Several isadly Injured.

Flames and Several isadly Injured.
 KINsGToN, Ont, Oct. 25.-The origin of the fire which burned the steamer Quinte to the waters edge near Deseronto, Wednesday night, is not known.
 Six lives were lost and probably more. A large number of persons were injured.
 Details of tho disaster show that the fire originated in the engine room, so far as can be ascertained, and spread with inconceivable rapidity, the steamer burning like timber and being ablaze in very few minutes.
 The engineer managed to climb out ot the engine room, though not until he had been severely burned. Crazy with pain he threw himself into the water. He managed to catch piece of wreckage and was picked up later by a passing steamer.
 Later reports say his condition is dan gerous, the probabilities not being in favor of his recovery. The rescued man is unable to talk and his story cannot be learned further than given. There must have been at least two or three hands on the steamer, and as nothing has been heard from them they can hardly have escaped. The vessel which picked up the engi- neer was attracted to the spot by the light from the burning Quinte, but | shortly before the would-be rescuers reached her she sank. The steamer was burned about three miles from Deseronto. she being on her way to PictOn at the time. As far as can be ascertained the passengers were all saved, though three or four were se- verely burned. All were badly chilled by being in the water. The survivors were all taken to Deseronto and are be- ing cared for.

 BROOKLYN. Oct. 25.-The fifth con test for the worlds championship was witnessed by less than 5000 persons. The weather was raw and chilly. and to this cause was the small attendance re- sponsible. Caruthe-s and Clarke were in the points for Brooklyn, and Crane, backed up by Bill Brown, again essayed to do the uwirling for the Giants.
 The game at first looked as if it would be a pitchers battle, the bats men being quickly retired in the first two innings. New York started the run-getting in the third, scoring Gore's base on balls, Tiernan's and Browns singles, Burns error in missing Wards high fly and Smiths slow re- turn of Richardson's liner to deep short.
 The Giants again scored four runs in the fifth on Tiernan's base on balls, Browns single, Connors' three-bagge1 and Richardson's home-run drive to the carriages. After this inning the game was>a procession, the New Works winning as they pleased. Brooklyn earned but one run, Collins making a two-baggel and Burns single in the fifth inning.
 Catcher Clark hurt himself in the sixth inning while running to first base and gave way to Eushong. Crane as usual proved too much for the Grooms The following is the score:

Tho Court House Thronged With People
 at Mn Early Hour.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-There was 0 great throng in Judge McConnell's court room this morning. Tho crowd filled the room and overfowed through the door ways long before the jury which is to try the men charged with Dr. Cronin's death took their seats. When the pris- oners were brought in they looked anx- iously at the crowd They showed none of the levity which marked the tedious days of the jury seeking, and seemed to realize the terrible importance of the ordeal they have entered upon.
 The examination of witnesses for the State was conducted by George c. Ing ham, and the cross examing for tho de- fense was don hy w. S. Forrest. Law yers Ames and forster. who arc guard ing the interests of Beggs, sit apart from the other attorneys, and do their own examining, which proves that the Senior Guardian has cut loose from his fellow-de fendants.
 The principal evidence taken to-day was in regard to finding the body of Dr. Cronin in tho catch basin.
