CHARLESTON, W. VA, January 15.-
The Legislature convened at noon, and after
listening to the reading of the Governors
call, adjourned over till tomorrow. In the
House four members, Dorr, Merrill and
Ford, Democrats, and Burton, Republican,
were absent and Speaker Woods, who was
in his place, seemed to be not in the best of
health. In the Senate the Democrats were
temporarily in the majority, through the
absence of Senator Scott The political
complexion of the two Houses was thus
exactly reversed.
No address of formal nature was made in
either body. The Gubernatorial message
has already been published. 1t invites the at
tention of the Legislature to the contest for
Governor and 81 other matters of public busi-
ness, most of the recommendations relating to
railroads and corporations generally. The
document being already known.
There is just enough uncertainty about the
GovornOrship contest to make it interesting
Gof and Fleming are both on the ground with
their counsel, and some sharp work is being
done by each on the quiet. The Republicans
are hoping to break in upon the Democratic
line, but there is no assurance that they will do
so.

NEW YORK, January 15.-Detective Ser
geant Reilly arrested Leander Richard
son, editor of the Dramatic NeUS,
to-day, upon bench warrant granted by
Recorder Smyth, and took him before the
Recorder upon an indictment charging
him with criminal libel. The complainant
is Delaney Nicoll, lately an unsuccessful
candidate for District Attorney. Mr..
Nicoll testified that last week the
Dramatic NelOS published an article to the
effect that the writer of the article had seen
Mr.. Nicoll riding in a carriage on Long
Island with Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., who
is separated from her husband, and that Mr..
Nicoll had his arm around Mrs. Blaine's
waist.
This was utterly false, Mr.. Nicoll averred.

as to be unable to quither bed. Richardson
pleaded not guilty, and, Harry Miner be-
coming his surety, he was released.

He Joins the New Local Club and Gumbert
May To-day.
The declarations made by Fred carroll on
Monday evening regarding his attachment to
the Players Baseball League were not idle
words. The big-hitting catcher ended all con-
lecture about his intentions yesterday by sign
ing his name to a Players League contract.
He will probably play first base, and the new
club has certainly secured one of the best ball
players in America in Carroll The genial Hon.
NJ. B. Lemon was a witness to the contract, and
Manager Hanlon handed the document TO the
player. 1t is needless to say that the friends OF
the new club are very happy over the event,
and they had reason to be.
1t is not likely that any supporters of the old
League will have anything unfriendly to say
about CarrolFs resolve. He has apparently
acted in the most businesslike and frank man
ner He had the offers of both parties and
after weighing each he chose for himself, and
certainly in doing SO he has exercised an un-
Questionable right. It is true that he has re-
fused a good offer from the old League and
time alone will tell whether his course is a wise
one or not.
Manager Hanlon has also received, or will
to-day receive, the contract of Hurley, the
California catcher. Ad Gumbert also promises
to sign today, and then all that is needed is a
second baseman. If that position is
well flied Pittsburg will undoubtedly have an
excellent team as far as the records OF the
players are concerned.

MCCoNNELLsBURG, PA, January 15.-The
evidence in the Mervine trial was brought to
a close this evening, after one of the hardest
fought legal battles that ever took place in the
county. The Commonwealth has presented an
unusually strong case, and the defense was
loaded with evidence but the character ofsome

would have any weight with jury. The de-
tense set up was that the arrest was illegal, and
that the offense was not committed where the
Commonwealth alleges, but in front of the sta
tion house, where the officer, as testified to by
the defendant. was choking him in a violent
manner, and that he was almost unconscious
when he did the cutting.
This was corroborated by young man by the
name of Baylor, who said he saw the trouble
at the place where IL is alleged by the Common.
wealth the cutting took place, and that he was
positive Mervine did not cut him there. The
arguments were made tonight, and verdict is

"This makes naturalization practically OBJ

the trouble and expense of registering his
refusal to accept Brazilian citizenship. This
measure Is extremely unwise and
arbitrary and may lead to unpleasant

to have its subjects forced into foreign al
