place of this last resolution one reafirming
the resolution of last year which recon-
mended the division Of representation.
Then the fun began. The whole convention
was on its feet and in an uproar. Quiet was
finally restored, and a few speeches made
explaining the question from various points
of view, and q vote was taken amid great
confusion.
The decision of the Chairman could not
be heard for half an hour. A hundred deis-
gates were yelling at once until all became
hoarse. Chairman DonnelIy paced the stage
and hammered with his gavel to no purpose.
When finally the result was announced the
uproar began all over, and in the midst OF IL
dozen Philadelphia supporters OF the
amendment withdrew from the convention
in high dudgeon.
Pittsburg for Next Year.
Mr.. Jas. M. Haley, of Schuvlkill, moved
to proceed to the choice of place for hold
ing next years meeting, and proposed
Pittsburg as the place. The proposition
was generally applauded. Mr.. Foley sec
onded the motion, and Tim O'Leary added
a neat speech to the effect that Plttsburg
would make them welcome. Some resolu-
tions of thanks followed.
Hon. Morrison Foster, OF Allegheny,
moved q vote of thanks for the elegant por-
trait of Pattison presented to the conven-
ton, and then w. j. Brennan, OF Pittsburg,
moved the convention to adjourn sine die.
The original intention had been to continue
until tomorrow, when the pi cnic comes of,
but the tumultuous character of the big
unwieldly assemblage probably hurried the
adjournment.

One il n Poor Widow, Whose Savings are
Gone-His Muuific ent Offer TO Consul
Schneider.
R. NJ. Shanley. the man now in jail for
alleged false pretense in the sale Of land 10
Gated in Lancaster, O., is very anxious for
settlement and made numerous offers to
Arnold Schneider, the Belgian Consul, yes
terday. He agreed to give note for the
full amount paid by Alfred George and pay
all costs if the matter was settled. He claims
to have a responsible gentleman ready to
indorse his note for the amount. As no in
formation has been made by any other par
ties this case will be settled unless the others
come forward and hold him for their lost
cash.
More developments were secured in the
case late yesterday afternoon. Henry
Jochum and Robert Pemberton, of ] Jeannette;
August Anthony, of the Southslde, and
Mrs. Mullen, formerly of Pittsbure, but
now of New Albany, Ind, have come forward
with the statement that they purchased land
and paid m oney to Shanlev. The latter is a
poor widow, and said that she paid all her little
savings into the Golfers of Stanley.
under the name of the Highland Manufactur-
ing Company. However. when he delivered the
warranty deed bond' to the purchaser upon
the first payment being made the name of
1.-THE Fiel De Grandmont Manufacturing
Company was used. This bond guaranteed
that clear deed would be given upon the last
payment being made. Mr.. Schneider said that
upon Shanley's last visit to Pittsburg he made
an offer to give him 20 per cent OF all money
collected in Pittsburg and vicinity if he would
act as agent for the company here. This
munificent offer was refused.

there were glass houses being built in Lancas-
ter, and in letter last January he stated that
two were in course of construction and would
soon be finished. However. Mr.. Schneider
says that no glass houses were ever built in
Lancaster, and the only factory there is roll
ing mill.
A number Of the people of Jeanette still
believe that they own the property in Lancas-
ter, and for this reason may not appear against
Stanley in this case. Those who have been
taken in think that Stanley isjmerelyjan adven-
turer who saw big money in a scheme to boom
Lancaster, but he failed and lost all his money
and that of those who intrusted it to him.

DID WARREN WEAKEN?
Van Heest Fights Him a Very Singular
Battle Near Buffalo.

BUFFALO. N. Y, September 16.-The glove
fight between Tommy Warren of Cleveland,
and John Van Heest, of Bradford, for $500 a
side, came off early this morning in the vicinity
of the State line. Just over on the New York
side. 1t resulted in draw. after II rounds had
been fought, though the fight was won by
Van Heest. Charges were made that the
affair was ''fxed' for Warren to lose, in order
that money could be placed against him by his
friends. The betting was not as lively as was
expected, and to save the stake money it is
claimed the affair was called a draw. Both
statements are discredited by many.
The fight was game and hot one up to the
time it was called. Warren weighed about 119
pounds and Van Heest 122
In the eleventh round the men clinched and
fell. Warren hung to Vans neck, the latter
irving to get away, but was unable to rise.
When time for the next round was called, War.
rem, with his seconds. claimed foul A dis
pute followed and general confusion ensued.
Van wanted to fight. but Warren did not and
pulled off his gloves, though he claimed after
ward the referee ordered him to do so.
The referee then called the contest draw,
amid the groans. hIsses and protests of the
crowd
Warren was very groggy, and another round
would probably have finished him. Van Heest
did not show mark, and his seconds pro-
nounced it robbery to take the fight away from
him. The fight lasted so minutes.

THEY ARE HOME AGAIN,
w. ]. Barr and His Brother Return From
England and Talk Baseball.

England and Talk Baseball.
w. J. Barr and his brother Frank returned
home yesterday from England, where they
have been playing baseball during the summer.
Mr.. Barr was happy to be home again and was
full Of enthusiasm about the prospects of Amer
ica's national game in England. During a con-
versation he went on to say that the English
people are beginning to take great interest in
baseball. and that there is sure to be a good
league there next year.
He, however, admitted that the venture
among the Brltishers had not been financial
success this year. But, he added, the people
are getting to understand the game bet
ter, and as result the football players
and all their patrons are greatly in
favor of baseball. Mr.. Barr further said
that some of the English football players
give much promise of being good baseball
players. Referring to Mr.. Ley, who withdrew
from the League some time ago, Mr.. Barr said
that gentleman is making efforts to organize a
league independent of those who have been
connected with the English league this year.
As has already been published in this paper,
Mr.. Ley is an English gentleman who has an
interest in the Vulcan Iron Works in Cleve-
land. and his American interests have de-
veloped his admiration for baseball. Mr.. Lev
has done much for the game in England but
the quarrel already referred to in this paper
caused him to leave the other three teams.
Notwithstanding this. Mr.. Barr says the game
will be glorious success in England, and that
Birmingham and London are almost the only
two cities where a strong prejudice exists
against it Mr. Barr made many friends while
in England, and hopes to return there.

PHILADELPHIA. September 16-A special
meeting of the stockholders and players of the
Athletic Ball Club was held tonight, and the
outcome practically wipes out of existence the
Oldest club in the country. Two meetings had
previously been held, and at the last, on Mon
Gay, all the necessary arrangements were sup
posed to have been made for the raising of
sufficient funds to carry the club to the end of
the season. Tonight was the time set for the
parties who were TO advance the money TO
make good their promises, but they failed to
do So and all the players were released. Treas
urer Whitaker, when asked tor the exact con-
dition of the clubs finances, said:
I'VE cannot exactly state what they are, but
in round figures our debts are Sl7, 900 OF this
amount s. $50 is due the players for salaries and
5000 for officers salaries and money loaned.
We had expected to be able to go right on. and
could we have COTTON the amount due the play
ers all would have been well, But we failed,
and we are now doing the only thing left in our
power-giving the players their release"
The club will try to fill out the season with
scrub players in order to save their franchise.

CLEvET TAnD, September l6.-The Cleveland
and Fittsburg National League clubs had
mapped out an afternoon of glorious sport, that
is, il would have been, if each club had won
game, because victory so seldom perches on
the banner of either. Unfortunately for the
PIttsburgs, however, they as usual, drew
blank, and the fun was spoiled by rainstorm,
which happened along just after the close of
the fifth inning of the first game, when CIeve-
land was ahead. The umpire was compelled to
call il at the expiration of 80 minutes pre-
scribed by rule, and then after waiting awhile
the sun came out through rift in the clouds
and the second game was begun.
1t had hardly got well under way, however,
before the rain fell harder than before, and all
idea Of playing had to be abandoned. In the
first game Anderson was as wild as hawk,
and his inability to get the ball over the plate
in the second inning was mainly responsible
at bat. and four balls gave him first Smalley
hit to Berger, and Gilks was forced to second.
thinner got a base on balls. Delaney banged
the ball past third base, sending Smalley home
Anderson gave Niau first on balls, and Nc
Keanis sacrifice scored thinner. Davis drove a
liner to left, and two more runs came in, Davis
being caught trying to reach second.
Pittsburg scored its first run on Burke's
three-bagger and Miller's sacrifice. In the
fourth inning McKean's error on Decker's hit
sacrifice and wild pitch gave Pittsburg their
second run. Both teams were playing great
fielding game as they were called from the
field. The score:

SHAPED THEIR OWN COURSE.
The Pudalers in the Penthouse Mill Strike
Against Hard Iron Without Authority.

The puddlers in the Pittsburg Forge and Iron
Companys "Porkhouse" mill at Woods Run
were summarily paid off by the firm on Satur-
day and the department has been idle since.
During the week the men complained about
the quality of the mixture saying it was hard.
The usual course under the rules of the asso-
cIation when any grievance arises. is to have
the matter referred to and taken IN hand by the
lodge officials. Their duty is to inquire into
refer the matter to the officials at headquarters.
None of these routine courses were taken; the
men taking the affair into their own hands, and
resolving to strike, course they took on Fri
day last. The firm was so incensed by the
illegal action of the men, that it paid them all
off as stated on Saturday.
1t is thought the men will be left to shift for
themselves in the matter, as the Amalgamated
officials are said to be as much amazed by the
course taken by the men as the firm is.

the number. The weather, however, was not
kindly disposed and after threatening rain at
all times after noon, the clouds finally settled
thickly over the course about 3 O'Clock. After
the completion of two races the Judges decided
that postponement was unavoidable.
The first race was the 2.40 trot. in which Fat
Downing had been backed heavily against the
neid. The odds in pool box varied from SIS TO
$40 to SS5 to SIS and $50 against SIS. The
plungers pinned their faith on the bay stallion,

that did win was the comparatively unknown

of Belmont to-day at Elmwood, and pulled

to the bat the side scored 156, mainly due to
long stand by Scott and Valentine. Before
Belmont could take the bat play was suspended
for nearly an hour by heavy rain, and when
play was resumed Burrows bowled most eff
fectively. Pacey and Arthur made a deter
mined stand. and had Muir, who batted in fine
form, found any one to stay with him, the
Pittsburg total might have been passed. but

Brick Company, which has its works at Witt

pie 100000 bricks at a low rate. Before enter
tanning the offer the contractors called on
Joseph L. Evans, District Master Workman of
the Knights Of Labor, and inquired from him
if the bricks were union made. Mr.. Evans said
they were not, and the operators at the
Duquesne at once decided to have nothing to
do with them.
They said that they did not want to have any
such trouble with organized labor as the Expo
sition people had, and were anxious to use
nothing but union made goods in every portion
Of the work.
