A NEW CONSTITUTION
Desired by Some and Opposed by
Others at the Grange Picnic.
THE BOYER TAX BILL ATTACKED.
One Hundred and Thirty Of All Ages and
Conditions in Reunion.
MINOR NEWS FROM THE THREE STATES

ESPECIAL TELEGRAMs TO THE DIsPATCH.1
WILLIAMS GROVE, Aug. 2S.-This was
the biggest Friday in the history of the
Grangers' picnic, and the railroads during
the week carried 5000 more passengers
than on any corresponding week. Owing to
the frequent rains and the almost impassa-
BILE condition of the roads there was q
falling off in the number Of people brought
here in vehicles, as compared with the
record of last year of 1000 or 1000.
Among the speeches delivered to-day was
one in Pennsylvania Dutch by w. N.NBen-
ninger, Of Northampton county. Senator
Jones, of Indiana, prominently identified
with the Grange of that State, had a good
thing to say for the picnic, and told his
hearers that the Democratic and Republican
parties were preparing for great fight i'll
1892, and that the third party would open
their campaign next December. Repre-
sentative Tewksbury, of Columbia, attacked
the Boyer bill as not meeting the wants and
just demands of real estate owners, and
urged the Changers to continue their fight
for legislation containing the principle en-
bodied in the equalization of tax bill.
In the afternoon an interesting meeting
was held to discuss the propriety of the con-
stttutional convention. Senator Brown said
corporate aggression had become menace
lation by its ability to influence voters. A
secret ballot was thus rendered an absolute
necessity and the Australian system was
not remedy, becausc,the present constitu-
ton compelled the numbering of the ballot.
He urged the farmers in their own behalf,
and that of every legitimate interest, to
ablest and best delegations possible,
Representative Tewksbury also favored
convention in the interest of secret
ballot. Representative Taggart opposed
it for the reason that the elections in the
country districts were free from intentional
fraud. Rev. B. F. Stevens, of this city, said
there was no demand for the convention
except by corporations, and one of them,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, he
had been told was willing to spend 81 ,000, 900
to have the clause in the Constitution against
the consolidation of competing lines re-
moved. State Grange Lecturer Altman said
the convention was wanted by the people.
A number of others spoke for and against
the convention. The speech-making ended
with to-day.

MATT THOMPSON has challenged the Uniontown
team to two games, one to be played in Pittsburo
and the other in Uniontown. He would like to
take the Climax team to Uniontown on Saturday
September L., and have the return game the fol.
lowing Saturday.
ONE of the things that the League would have
stipulated for in case the conference had continued
to finish the restoration of 80 cents adInis-
sion fee by the Boston American Asso siation
Club. The Association demanded almost every
thing in sight probably on the basis of asking for
everything and taking what they could get.

DISPATCH from Boston says: The Boston Ball
Club (Association) held meeting this morning and
took steps to head on any further defections From
their ranks. The desertion of Kelly hurts them
despite their loud assertions to the contrary. At
the meeting to-day the players were asked to sign
contracts for the season OF '92. Duffy, Richardson
Brown, Stricken, Radford. Murphy. o. Brien and
Fitzgerald signed. Brouthers and Joyce were
present but they refused to sign until after the
present, and their intentions are not otknown,
THERE is little question that the Detroit A. c.
and New Jersey A. G. teams will again battle for
the Amateur Athletic Union championship. The
Bergen Pointers have won the local series with
ridiculous ease, and will now have their hardest
task of the season. the defeat of the Columbia A C.
team of Washington. The Capital City boys are
playing strong game, and are quite liable to sur
prise the Jersey men. However, the odds are in
favor of the latter winning the series. The Detroit
and Cleveland A. G. teams have won the series In
their respective cities and are now struggling with
each other for the western championship. The
series is five games and Detroit has to date cap
tured two out of three and there is little doubt tie
Wolverines will manage to win another. Provid-
ing the Jerseys the for the national
championship, two games will be played in New
York, two In Detroit and q nth game, If neces-
sary, on neutral ground. The Detroits will present
practically the same team that won the Gag year
ago. and the Jerseys are not materially changed.

A TRAVELLING MANS SUICIDE.
He Gives as His Reason That He Had
Taken His Firms Money.

EBENsBuRG, Aug. 2s.-Early this morning
Harry Brunn, travelling for A. j. Logan &
Co., of Pittsburg, shot himself in the Noun
tain House at this place, and at latest ac-
counts will die. Brunn came here on the
evening train last night and after supper
took drive. He went to his room at about
midnight, and soon after j. B. Denny, pro-
prietor of the hotel, heard pistol shot On
bursting open the door of Brunn's room the
inmate was found in bed with a bullet hole
in his head. When Brunn saw the proprie-
tor he exclaimed, 81 have done it, and fell
back on the bed. Physicians were at once
called and located the ball back of the right
ear. 1t had entered the left temple and gone
clear through the head.
Brunn was conscious long enough to state
that he had taken $500 of the firms money,
but it is thought there are other causes for
the shooting as he told Mr.. Denny to tele-
graph to Pittsburg at once and tell his wife
that he had done what he said he would.
Brunn was we'll known along the route
here, having been with the Logan furniture
firm for a number of years. During the days
succeeding the Johnstown flood he was one
of the first to volunteer aid. He was about
IS years of age and very fine-looking, and
was popular wherever he went
