Director G. P. O'Neill, of the local n. L.
Club is making every possible endeavor to
get matters into such a condition this week
as will permit OF the signing of players as
soon as the Conference Committee settles
present National League difficulties. There
is not much prospect OF the definite organi-
cation of the new local club, and Mr..
O'Neill will, therefore, apply for ''Pro-
motion" charter. II this is obtained it will
hold good the contracts OF all players signed
under It and when the club is thoroughly or
gained and proper charter obtained tie con-
tracts made under the Promotion charter
can be transferred.
This Mr.. O'NeilI considers the only safe way
TO proceed, and he hopes 10 have the charter in
question this week The truth is that matters
are more muddled in the two clubs than the
puhliC has any idea Of. and one authority stated
yesterday that April may he here before the new
club can be organized so as TO elect Presi-
dent. It is stated that the debrs of each club
are larger than was generally anticipated
This may cause some difficulties in dissoving
the two clubs. All along il has been understood
that the grand stand at Exposition Park was
part Of the assets OF she =. l.. club. 1t
now transpires that the stand does not be-
long to the club at all, and that instead OF be-
ing an asset it is Inability. inasmuch as
the p. L. club had ii rented for $500 per
year. II Is owned by the Pittsburg and West
ern Railroad. The liabilities of the p
L. club such that it is estimated that
an assessment of 26 per cent on the money al
ready subscribed to the club stock will be nee
esSary. These facts will tend to make to-day's
meeting of the L. l. club very important
one.
A gentleman who is in a position to know
stated yesterday that the y. L. club will also
have a number of difficulties encounter he
lore dissolution is effected. The deb;s of the
club are about s250O0, and these debts must all
be cleared of before consolidation is effected.
The debts are chiefly loans advanced by local
banks. Altogether The gentleman above re-
1erred TO thinks that the JOINT debts of the two
clubs will not be far short of $4,000 and this
all must be settled before the new club can be
organized. II is because Of the probability of
many weeks being spent in settling up matters
that Mr.. O'Neill has resolved to apply for
promotion" charter
The rumor to the effect that the Conference
Committee woulG meet here this week turns
out to be little wide of the mark. An official
OF the local y. L. club ,ated last evening that
unless change is made the Arbitration Com
mittee VIII meet here shortly

THE INDIAN CAMPAIGN.
THE PLAN WHICH IS BEING PURSUED BY
GENERAL MILES.

He Will Corral the Hostiles Within a Line
of Soldiery Before swooping Down Upon
Them-Preparations Are Now Complete
and Troops Will March.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Nov. 30.-The
cause of General Brooke's delay in moving
against the 1 300 or more ghost dancers who
for some four days past have not only been
pillaging and burning the cabins of the set
tiers in the vicinity of Wounded
Knee, but have defed interference
by the troops, leaked out this
morning. General Miles, who has this en-
tire northern Indian trouble in hand, so far
as its suppression by military force is con-
cerned, is working on great plan, which is
this: To hem this smost troubled portion of
the country entirely in with soldiers.
The links in this chain of military, which
will be perfected in a few hours, are around
by the east to North Rosebud, Lower Brule,
Fort Sully, Cheyenne River post, and by
the west to North Oelrchs, Fort Meade and
Standing Rock. There is the circle, with
Fort Robinson on the southwest and Fort
Niobrara on the southeast, as supply sta
tions and bulwarks to the entire scheme.
AT s o'clock last night we thought the
hour to march was at hand. The cavalry
received orders not TO remove any part OF
their uniform, to sleep on their arms and
hold themselves in readiness to
move at q moments notice. There
was heavy uDder-current of ex-
citement, but official mouths, as usual, were
closed tight. Each member of the small
army of correspondents got out his horse,
saddled and bridled and packed, to accom-
pany the troops to the front, but this morn
ing finds the troops still awaiting the order
to march. When it comes, as it undoubied-
ly will, before these lines reach the reader,
the only portion of the encampment that
will go will probably be the cavalry.

MINOR NEWS FROM THE THREE STATES
,sprc,An TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH!
SOMERSET, Nov. 30.-It now appears that
the escape of the Nicely boys was delib-
crate and skillfully planned affair. The
father of the Nicelys was in town for
several days last week. He had also been
here during the week of their former attempt
to escape. His presence evidently had much
to DO with this break, so it is said.
When the news of the escape had spread
public meeting was promptly called and
convened at the Court House. Valentine
Hay, one of the most prominent attorneys of
the bar here, presided at the formal meeting
to-day. During the progress of the meeting
Sheriff Mcmillan arose and made state
ment with q view of exculpating himself in
regard to the escape. He wound up by
offering on his own behalf 5000 reward for the
e covery of the Nicelys. This was augmented
by an additional 500. offered by District Attor-
ney John Scott. and was followed by Mr.. Hay,
who proposed that popular subscription of
$40 per man be taken up. 1t is expected that
this popular subscription will aggregate 81 600.
John H. Uhl, Chairman of the Democratic
County Committee. offered an additional 500.
Upon the breaking up of the meeting last
night organized search was at once inaugu-
rated. Two young men at once started across
the Laurel Hill Mountains to Jones' mills, in
Westmoreland county. to give the alarm in that
section. Jacob S. Picking, with several others,
in light wagons and on horseback. left for an
all-night ride. via Jennerstown, to Ligonier and
the vicinity of the homes of the Nicely fam
lilies. Courers were despatched to Centervllle,
Shanksv;lle and other points not accessible by
telegraph. In the meantime, telegrams were
sent to all near and far points within reach of
the operator here, who was kept up all night.
The County Commissioners have been in ses-
sion all day considering the question of offering
a county reward for the capture of the murder
ers. AT late hour this evening they had ar
rived at no conclusion.
At 1UP. NJ the Nicely brothers had not been
captured. although the entire country is
aroused and scouting parties on horseback are
securing every section of the county. Parties
from Westmoreland and Cambria counties are
meeting parties from this county hourly in the
country districts. The opinion is growing
hourly that they are secreted in this very town
by powerful friends, who have a direct interest
in their escape. The two prisoners who escaped
at the same time with the Nicelys are also at
large.
Scouts have just returned, who report that
the trail of the murderers has been struck four
miles northwest of this place. at the village of
Husband and that the fugitIves are headed in
the direction of the Laurel Mountains, toward
their former homes. The Sheriff and deputies
have just organized posse of determined citi-
zens. heavily armed, and are now off in hot
pursuit.

KILRAIN AND GODFREY.
A Probability That They Will Meet in the
Ring Before Long.


Ring Before Long.
BosToN, Nov. 3O-A finish fight between
George Godfrey, the colored heavyweight, and
Jake KilraIn is one of the probabilities for the
near future. Immediately after Dunn decided
Godfrey a winner in the recent hattie with
Smith, Billy Muldoon, on behalf of Kilrain,
challenged Godfrey for a fight for 81, 500 side
and whatever purse might be offered.
At the time Godfrey said nothing. hut later
he met Muldoon and kilrain in New York and
the subject of fighting was again opened. Phil
Dwyer offered to back Godfrey against Kilrain
for 5000 and Muldoon agreed to make match
for that sum, but Godfrey wouldn't make the
match. The offer of a S3, 500 purse didn't move
him. He said he proposed to get some money
by sparring at exhibitions. and after. few
months he would talk of fighting again.
The Chelsea fighter had scarcely reached
home before he was offered another chance
for battle. Jimmy Doherty, of Cambridge,
who has met Godfrey twice, is anxious for
third meeting with the colored man, and his
friends believe that he can lower the colors
which Ashton. Cardiff and Smith have failed
to 90. Dnherty has hosts of friends Cam
bridge, who are convinced that he showed him
self the equal of Godfrey in both his former
battles, one of which was awarded to Doherty
on foul
Doherty is now ready and anxious to fight
Godfrey for the best available purse to be Of
tered, and his friends will make stake OF
81, 900 a side.
Godfrey said to-day: 81 don't see why Kill
rain should be so anxious to fight me. Why
don't he try some of those men I've whipped?
don't want TO keep fighting all the time. l
want to get some of this easy money that
poorer fighters than am are getting by show
ing. III ever meet kIlrain I'll give him
laundering good licking. l never set my mind
on whipping man yet but that did il. and
won't tall in this either. AS for Doherty? Why
he amt in it az all. I've already whipped him
twice. and if he ever gels in front of me again
I'll kill him. He'd better take on one of the
many whipped champions who have taken the
losers emu after fighting Inc. Still will meet
Doherty for 5000 purse, if that offers, any
