WASHINGTON, February 13.-The Presi-
dent to-day sent to the Senate several nomi-
nations to postofices in the western part OF
Pennsylvania, all of which have been pre-
viously indicated in these dispatches. He
settled the fight over the Washington, Pa,
Postofice by nominating Congressman Rays
man, William II. Underwood. This is the
Office to which Secretary of State Blaine oe-
sired the appointment of his relative,
Samuel Ewing. Mr.. Ray does not know
whether this support was withdrawn from
Samuel and transferred to his brother John,
who is understood to be desirous of occupy
ing the position of Surveyor Of Customs at
the port of Pittsburg. But if Mr.. Blaine
was really anxious to have one of these two
relatives appointed to one of these respect
i've positions, Mr.. UnderWood's appoint
ment to-day may complicate the situation
with regard to the surveyorship.
Mr.. Ray is congratulating himself on
having safely landed mis- man after delay
of four months, and is not troubling himself
about the effect his success in this case may
have upon the appointments in another part
of the State. Mr.. Robert McWhinney's
nomination as postmaster at Homestead
was also in the list, and Mr.. Ray is not an
ticipating any trouble over his confrma-
tion. Both of Representative Watson's
recommendations, mentioned in these
dispatches last night, were acted
upon favorably and MessrG VIM. NJ.
McKim and Henry II. Evans will soon be
dispensing stamps and money orders at the
Oil City and Tidioute pOstofices, respect

be postmaster at Somerset is in line with
the recommendations of Congressman Scull.
1t is in place of the nomination of Mr.. Post
lethwaite, which was withdrawn on account
of that gentleman declining the Office be-
cause he had been granted pension. Mr..
Keller was formerly County Treasurer and
Chairman of the County Republican Com
mittee.
Captain Thompson's nomination to be
postmaster at McKeesport was con-
spicuously absent from the list. That mat
ter still hangs fire. Captain Thompson
himself considers the situation as favorable
to himself, since no action of an unfavor.

The Grand Jury Find No Bill Against the
Doctor Nor Miss PurseI.
TRENTON, N. J.. February 13.-The
Grand Jury considering the evidence in the
mysterious Knifin murder case reported to
Justice Bearley of the Mercer County Court
this afternoon. They found no bill against
Dr. Knifin nor Miss Pursel, VINO were
charged by Detective Ritiger with the
murder.
Lawyer Barton moved for the discharge
of the bondsmen. Prosecutor Stockton con-
sented to the discharge of the sureties on
DR.. Knifin's bond, but not those of Miss
Pursels bond. He gave no reason for hold.
ing them, but said that something might
turn up.
Justice Beasley said that both the accused
were free, because the grand jury and Cor
oner's jury, after due deliberation, could see
no evidence on which to hold them. The
order for the release of the bondsmen was
then signed. David Pursel, brother OF
Emma Pursel, was present, and was con-
graduated on the outcome of the grand
jury's sitting.

Old League People Soaring Point on the
Brotherhood.

Old League People Soaring a Point on the
Brotherhood.
NEW YORK, February l3-Director Walter
Appleton, of the New York League Baseball
Club, returned from Elmira this morning and
to a crowd Of newspaper men limited that Dan
Richardson, the famous second baseman would
sign League contract and play in his old posi-
tion this season. Mr.. Appleton said also that
Nike Kelly will sign League contract within
two weeks Among the Players League men
there is disposition to stamp the whole affaIr
as 8 League bluff designed TO work distrust
among the players and thus weaken their or
ganizaJion.
Danny is as solid as rock, /" said Brother
hood man, land as for Mike Kelly the League
magnates can't touch him."
League adherents on the other hand declared
that if Richardson had not positively signed he
bad given his word to Mr. Appleton to stand by
the old club. In baseball circles here there is
considerable talk about the members of the
Players League now in this city and in Chi
cago Il is noted that these old players are ap-
parently resting on their reputation" as ball
players, and that they are all in high flesh and
living sumptuuusly every day" while the
League Chicago team headed by Anson are
already in perfect form, and are on the road
playing ball." 1t is also said that it will be
impossible for the Players League men to get
in ball form" by the time the season opens
and that many Of them will commence the sea-
son fat and heavy, and in no shape TO compete
with athletes who have been under the rigid
discipline of the League management, and in
all other respects fitted for good ball playing.
