Base Ball Matters.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-This is the day when
men who are going to play ball with
league clubs next season should sign con
tracts. Mr.. Spaulding, president of the
Chicago club, was at headquarters to re-
ceive them, but up to O'clock, Captain
Anson's name was the only one put down.
II can't say when the rest will sign,o said
Mr.. Spaulding sas have only talked with
three or four of them" 'What new
players do you expect to get ?' II am not
prepared to answer that" aWhat do you
think of the proposed base ball players
brotherhood, do you think it will succeed 81
.Well, don't know anything about it.
Players whose names have been mentioned
in connection with it, deny the rumors
which have been circulated, and outsiders
who have been reported to be in the
scheme, disOwn any knowledge of it. All
[ know about it is what have seen in the
papers," IF the brotherhood was formed
would it seriously affect the league ~ SIT
would affect the league certainly" said
Mr.. Spaulding, "but how seriously time
alone could tell. However the league
would go right on introducing new
players in the place of the old one If it
should come to that" What steps, if any
have been taken for fighting the brother
hood. II don't know that any steps have
been taken in that direction. Nor do I
know what steps are likely to be TAKEN
We must find out that there is brother
hood before we 20 to fighting It,"

A Financial Snap.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-The trial of the suit
Of Lawyer Riddle against Alfred Post has
been in progress in the circuit court for
some days. Post had financial .snap''
called "Western Freight Bureau" based On
lines very similar to those laid down by
Fred Ward, of New York. Ostensibly the
bureau undertook to collect claims of in
dividuals against the railroad for damage
to property and the like. He took sundry
capitalists of this city into his confidence
to the extent of insuring them that their
claims could be bought up at heavy dis
count and collected in full, making fabu-
lous profits. He was a smooth talker and
roped in a number of men of means in
amounts it is said to aggregate about
$5oO,OOo. Finally the crash came and Post
got rapidly across the run of Uncle Sans
Jurisdiction. The case now on trial is a
case of his attorney for about $4,000 in
fees for services. Riddle was on the wit
ness stand to-day and had letters written
to him by Post while in exile.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE greatest excite
ment prevailed about the grand jury room
this morning. Witnesses came and went,
and officers were dispatched here and there
at the will of Longenecker. who took up
his station next to Clerk Hamilton, and di-
rected proceedings. 1t was evident, from
all that transpired. that the consideration
of great move was in progress. Through
out the entire forenoon there was the
greatest excitement within and about the
criminal court building. The grand jury
worked on the ''iury-fxing" branch of the
Cronin case in a somewhat desultory fash
ion. Whenever witness in the case was
brought in all the other business was
dropped and his testimony occupied the
attention of the body. At 1 O'Clock the
grand jury came into court and handed up
twelve indictments, eleven Of which were
TOR everyday crimes; the twelfth was a
joint bill against Mark L.. Solomon, John
Graham, Thomas Kavanaugh, Fred. Smith,
Jeremiah O'Donnell, Alexander LlHanks
and Joseph KOnen. Ali of these men were
already under Indictment for conspiracy to
bribe jnrymen in the Cronin case. This
completed, the jury's work ended.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-The New York

of series for the worlds championship at

the umpire who should oficiate for
Brooklyn. Ferguson was fnall chosen and
when he yelled out "My head is swelled
already" the crowd roared. With Ferguson
at the plate and Gaffney at first base, the
teams went into the field. Both teams
were badly ratified at times. Keefe had
less speed than usual, and Bridegrooms

Mobiles Letter to Tanner.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18-The famous let
ter of Secretary Noble to Pension Commits
sioner Tanner, calling halt in his pension
decisions. was to-day given to the press.
1t contains long argument in favor of the
authority OF the secretary being greater
than that of subordinate, the commits
sioner, and besides quoting law, recOunts
various decisions of last spring and shows
their illegality. He objects strongly to ad-
vancing cases, as was done, and declares
himself in favor of equal justice to all
cases, saying that no case, without good
cause, should ever be advanced before
others equally meritorious.

on the following day the vessel gave a
lurch and foundered. AS the steamer
sank. the life boat foated off from the ship,
and the second officer, second and third
engineers, four sailors, three fireman and
the cook clung to the boat and scrambled in.
An effort was made to save the rest Of the
crew and drag was made of painter,
but the boat was blown away and the oars
wrenched from the hands of the men, so
that no more could be saved. The cries of
the drowning men as they were dashed
about by the mountainous waves could be
heard by the men in the boat. The boat

horrors of hunger the second day became

Great Excitement in the Court Room
at Chicago Over the Jury
Bribing Case.
Almost a Riot.

LONDON, Oct. 17.-The sturdy farmers of
Donegal. Ireland, are evidently in no
humor to be trifed with by crown officials
who began the prosecution of Father Nc
Fadden and several of his parishioners at
Maryboro today, and if the crown attorney
succeeds in his evident purpose of obtain
ing jury of twelve protestants, it will
not be without many unseemly disturban-
ces in the court room. So violent were the
protests to-day at the action of the crown
in dismissing every catholic juryman as
fast as he appeared, that proceedings had
to be suspended pending the arrival of a
large force of police who had been sent for
to preserve order. Two jurymen who had
stand down when the prosecution was in
formed that they were Catholics and they
became so enraged at this treatment that
they refused to leave their places. A pla-
toon of constables had to eject them
from the court room by force.
In the struggle that ensued
several hot headed members of Father Nc
Fadden's flock took hand and for q time
it looked as though riot would be pre-
Catholic, when told to stand down after
having been accepted, got very much ex-
cited and shouted to the crowd and the
attorney that Father McFadden had no
share in the killing of Police Inspector
Martin for whose murder he stood in
dicted. He declared he was present and
saw the blow struck, which felled Martin
to the earth, and that McFadden had al.
ready escaped from the church and was q
mile away at the time. The crown at once
ordered the detention of the man as wit.
ness, although he protested then that he
really knew nothing whatever of the cir.
cumstances. He was locked up. 1t is not
unlikely that serious trouble will result il
the crown persists in its present course,
