The same men, in the main, who
signed the counter petition, made
haste to send their names up to Jack
son two years ago against the pas
sage of the Smile law, but Demo
cratic Legislature, approaching the
situation, disregarded their prayer, the
law was passed and the county has
been saved the expense and agitation
ever since of local option election,
while Prohibition has grown in favor
every day. History will repeat itself.
The present Legislature knows the
situation here, the counter petition
viii be disregarded and the amend
ment to the charter will be passed in
the interest of the peace, order and
good government of the community.
Mark our word.

Chartered by the State.

We are informed that the State
Business College at Meridian, Miss,
has just closed very prosperous
years work. This institution was
chartered last year, empowering it to
grant commercial degrees, special
privilege held by no other CONNER
cial school in the State. The diplomas
and degrees of this school are recog-
nized by merchants and business men
who are competent to judge of the
merits Ofan institution, and this with
the fact that thorough work is done
in all departments, and that the
school is located in n Commercial
center, combine to make it the most
successful commercial college in the
Sonth.-New Mississippian.

a novel idea has been sugge sted as
a solution of difficulty which has be-
set Congress for some time, in the
matter of securing reading clerks
with penetrating voices that can be
heard above the buzz and bubble of
an exciting session. 1t is to employ
lady readers. 1t is stated in advoca-
cy of this plan that the quality of
their voices to meet this need is shown
in the practical experience of persons
using telephones, in which their
voices, pitched in high key, can be
heard distinctly, while the great, gruff
voice of man rumbles into the ear
of the listener after q mass of confu-
sion of sound.

Acknowledgement Miller rendered
an opinion last Friday, at the request
of the Legislature, i'll which he holds
that Mr.. Henry, the State Printer,
overcharged the State to the amount
of 1871 30 for the Acts of 1886. We
have tried to keep the run of all that
has been said on this subject, and it
seems to us the opinion of the Attor-
ney General is good law and accords
with sound common sense.

ave do not like to appear before
the world as the only town or city
in the State of Mississippi, or, as far
as we are informed, in the world, that
would be deprived of the right of
voting for and selecting our own of
ficials," says the counter petition.
And yet Brookhaven, with humilia-
ton be it said, stands before the
world to-day as the only town in
Mississippi suffering the dark, dam
nable and disgraceful shame of hav-
ing Mayor that has outraged all
decency and propriety, Board of AL
derman who have never repudiated
his conduct, and a citizenship,in part,
which has tried to cover up and excuse
his ollense. If there can be any deep
es, blacker stain on the reputation of
a community than this, we would like
to know it. The lily cannot be
painted nor the kettle blackened.

A petition to the Legislature ask
ing for FIVE mile law for Columbus
has been circulated in Brookhaven
and other towns and cities and signed
by many citizens. A memorial to our
law makers, signed by each member
of the faculty of the l. l. & c., except
ing the president, has also been pre-
sented with the same object in view.
No matter how much the liquor traffic
of Columbus may object, the State
should protect its own. The l. l. g. C.
needs this protection. Our Mrs.
Kells is ready to take oath as to the
depredations made on the Institute by
drunken men. Police force has been
demanded to quell disturbances about
the premises. Facts speak louder
than words and furnish indisputable
argument. 1t is simple justice to
give to the I. I. & C. as well as to
other State educational institutions,
the five-mile law.

Brooklyn Consolidation.

New York Ball Player Comments on the
Brooklyn Consolidation.
NEW YORK, October 8l-The statement
published here yesterday to the effect that the
capitalists of the Brooklyn Up. L) club had
met and decided to go ahead and finish nego-
tiations with the hackers of the Brooklyn IN.
Ll club created great deal Of talk among the
players. 1t was another blow which was hardly
expected by them, but it only made the argu-
ment more convincing that the capitalists in
tend to do business without any help from the
Brotherhood.
Although this state of affairs has been per-
fectly understood by the public IN general, yet
the players have held fast to the thread which
they imagined could not be broken. But they
see it being cut strand by strand, and they
have awakened to a realization of what 1t all
means. They begin to see that the capitalists
are fixing matters, and that the only thing they
can DO is to make the best of a bad job.
The hackers of the two Brooklyn teams Will
try TO get the consolidation deal settled by NO
vember II, on which date is held the annual
meeting of the Players League. President
Byrne and Wendell Goodwin, of tn he Brooklyn
National and Players League clubs. respect
lively, have met and talked matters over, but it
will take several talks before all the minor de-
tails can be settled.
One of the most prominent players OF the
New York (P. L.) club SAID yesterday: u
guess the Jig is up with us. We have fought
hard but 1t looks as if we have been downed
principally through the efforts of two or three
outsiders who were working for personal aims,
and to save themselves more than to help the
Brotherhood. Hereafter, l shall look out for
myself and nobody else 1t looks as if it will
be great case of hustle for some of US to get
places next season. shall take the nrst op-
portanity that is offered, and don't intend to
wait for somebody to ask me if am willing"

Rumors of a Big Baseball Deaf Going on
Among Rival Magnates.
CHICAGO. october 3l.-The baseball situa-
tion hero is ripe for surprise. and something
sensational may be expected within the next
few days. There has been talk Of the Brother
hood, or Players club here, buying out the
National League club, but no one believes
there is anything in it-in fact, it would not be
a matter of surprise should the National
League club purchase the Players club. at a
price something below what the Players have
been putting It at in the past. 1t would be a
good deal to Mr.. Spalding to get the Brother
hood grounds on the Southside, as his club will
be compelled to move shortly from where it has
been PLAYING on the West Side, owing to the
expiration of the lease.
There have been numerous conferences lately
between President Addison and Directors
WeIdenfuller Murdough and others of late,
and il means something. Secretary Brunell has
been called in also, and it is thought something
may be done within a week. Some of the mem
bers of the Players club would not like to come
most of them are not particular. They fully
appreciate the fact, also, that salaries will be
reduces next season, but they expect that
under any circumstances 1t is notthought that
any of the Brotherhood players here will kick
on reduction even should the present Players
club work under the present management
next season, for the coming few months
promise to alter baseball conditions materially.

around the mouth of the Hill Farm Mine
show very plainly the charred and burned
matter that is being hourly placed there. The
fire now in the mine is among the falling

makes it very hard to reach. Huge pieces Of
charcoal are being hauled out with the coke.
and this sort of tinder is especially thick about
Jacobs ladder" the point now reached. An
immense stream of water is now being pumped
into the mine by an engine at the mouth of the
mine.
BY Monday they expect the sixth section will
be ready to be cleared. There are grave fears
that the surrounding mines will be flooded
with water, and il is thought the water in the
Hill Farm Nine has reached the highest point,
as the water in the Ferguson Mine is rising
now, and must be drawing from the former
There is no truth whatever that wearing ap-
parel and other belongings of the miners have
been found. for as yet they are absolutely un-
known. After the sixth section is passed the
bulk of the fire will be more easily subdued,
and explorations can be made with less danger
to the men working, and it is expected some
thing definite of the fate of the imprisoned
men will be known.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsrArcH.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
ScoTTDALE, October 81. - Thomas
Lynch. General Manager of the mines ear
this place, made to-day the following state
ment to The DISPATCH:
Permit me to say a word in regard to the
discharge of Andy Verostic at our TIP Top
Mine. and the gross misstatement made
through the columns of the Pittsburg papers
by Robert Watchorn. No one denies that the
Frick Coke Company is a responsible party,
and is working under legal contract with its
employees. Now, If 1t has dealt unjustly with
Verostlc or any other of its employees, and vio-
lated its contract with its workmen, as Mr..
Watchorn charges it has repeatedly done, why
does not Mr.. Watchorn bring the company into
court and compel it to give justice TO its en-
ployes and live up to Its contract the same as the
company brought Mr.. Watchorn and his fellow
officials into court and compelled them to live
up to the contract at the Standard W orks
aDout month ago?
Such fair and law abiding set of men, as Mr..
Watchorn would have US believe he and his as
sociates are should not be afraid to trust the
courts. will agree to pay Mr.. Watchorn's at
torney fees if he will go into court and show
where We have failed to live up to the letter
and spirit of the contract with our employees.
l will go further, and say, while hold that the
employer should be the judge of the fitness or
unfitness of hls employees 1 will in this instance
Waive NudG L ueleNt W Dc my III CudI re-
spect in order to give Mr.. Watchorn an oppor-
tunity to make good his statement and have
his men renstated, and will agree to submit to
the Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of
either Fayette or Westmoreland counties, the
case of Verostic and all other men who have
been discharged and not reinstated. at any or
all OF our 2 plants since the present contract
went into effect on the 10th day of February
last. 1t the Court, after making full investiga-
ton and hearing both sides, says that the dis
charge of all or any one was not just and right
and not in accord with the contract under
which we are working, will reinstate all of
them and pay all the costs of the investigation.
THOMAS LYNCH, General Manager.
Master Workman Kerfoot says: Il venture
the assertion that not single miner will be at
his post of duty next Tuesday, unless the dis
charged committeeman, Verostic, is reinstated.
Mr.. Lynch has notified us that our notices are
wrong; that the grievances are not stated, and
that they are not properly dated and signed.
After obtaining legal advice we are fully
convinced that they are right, and will posi-
lively not be withdrawn"
