CAPTURED BY A MOB.
GreeVy Partisans FOrcibly Seize a
Ballot Box at Everett.
VERY WARLIKE TURN OF AFFAIRS.
Remarkable Abnormal Growth Ends the
Life of Little Boy.
ALL is QUIET AMONG THE STRIKERS

TPFcIhL TELReRAM TO THE DTsPAToH.i
BEDFORD. Feb. 27.-The Greevy-Scull
contest assumed a belligerent and CORY
aspect at the session held by the Commits
sioners at Everett last night The Com
missioner has sat upon the Greevy side on
every occasion. Greevy's attorneys took
the position that when a ballot box was
once opened by the Scull men 1t was open
for all purposes, and that they also had
right to inspect its contents. The commits
sioner declined to entertain the proposition.
Greevy having been Informed of the stu
alton, decided to appoint a commission of
his own to sit with Mr.. Scull's representa-
tive, citing an act of Congress as his author
ity for so doing. The commissioner selected
was A. V. DiveIy. one of the most promi-
nent members of the Blair county bar. He
was on hand at Everett Yesterday, and al
though Scull's representative treated him
with lofty contempt he took an active part
in the proceedings. Mr.. Weller, SculPs Com
missioner, opened the Monroe township ballot
box and threw out four Greeyy votes. Dively
then dipped into it and unearthed IL illegal
Scull ballots.
At the adjournment of the afternoon session
the Scull men were furious at the unexpected
turn affairs had taken. They held confer
ence and decided to resort to desperate meas
ures. At the night session the West ProVl-
dence township ballot box was produced and
examined by Weller. The Justice of the Peace
refused to surrender the box to Dively. where
upon Messrs. Fletcher and Mcnamara.
Greevy's attorneys took it from him. Then
Attorney Jordan, Sculrs representative, gave
signal. and a bowling mob armed with clubs.
rushed up the stairway to the hotel parlor
where the sessions were held and swarmed
into the room. The Greevy men were over
powered in moment, and the ballot box was
recaptured. Fearing personal violence, Greevy's
filing red-hot protest against the disgraceful
proceeding
Greevy's friends are now very much pleased
with the situation. They claim this outbreak
will give them tremendous weapon before the
Committee on Contested Seats andI will
PROBABLY have the effect of arousing the Dem
ocrats and ultimately turning Scull out of
Congress.

Somebody wired the news from Pittsburg on

We are having great trouble in getting Stratton

have been signed with uE now. But we can get
more good men yet. We have our hands on
two"
Manager Hanlon went on to say that the As

The Popular Local Pitcher Signs to
Play With the Pittsburg
Baseball Club.
MARX EXPLAINS WHY he DID 1T.
The Association Schemers Get Very Finely
Fooled in Little Game Down
at Cincinnati.
A CHALLENGE TO HOME PUGILISTS.
An Offer to Match Dempsey to Fight Mccsfsy-Gsnsrsl
Sporting News Of the Day.

And there is still another very prominent
name TO add to the list OF ball players who
have wearied of the conduct of the Amer
lean Association and joined the ranks of tine
National League. This time il is the name
OF Pittsburg's great pitcher, Mark Baldwin.
Mark has signed with the local club. He
dad so Thursday afternoon, and he deems
his action perfectly safe.
Baldwin has signed for a good salary.
While il would be breach of confidence to
give the figures 1t can be said that the salary
is very good one, and higher than the
Columbus club was to give him. Mark had no
objection TO signing providing he could secure
terms satisfactory to himself He had busi'
ness interview with President 0'Neill and mat
tiers were fixed within 20 minutes
Baldwin signed under conditions similar to
those OF Kuauss, of Cleveland; in fact Bald
wins is in I'll respects parallel case to that OF
Knauss Baldwin claims that the Columbus
club has violated its agreement with him,
IS he signed to play under a national agree
ment and free from any kind of baseball war,
Now that the Columbus club has broken from
the national agreement and precipitated a
conflict. Baldwin justly argues that his contract
has decidedly been broken. During a cOnver-
sation yesterday he said:
i don't want to be in any more organizations
that are trying TO kill somebody else But. be-
yond all. / am determined to play under a
national agreement / signed with Columbus
TO do that, and when that club has decided to
break away from that agreement 1 consider
that it has no claim on me. But l mean to
act in an honorable way, and l have made a
provision which will keep me all right
II the Columbus club disputes my
right to leave it, and 60 to law
il can do so as soon as it chooses, and il the
Law decides that my contract with Columbus is
binding will certainly go to Columbus and act
Up to il. But l feel certain that il is not and
want protect myself against being left out
in the cold My position, therefore, is per-
fectable honorable and justifable one. The
Columbus club has acted in bad faith to me in
violating the national agreement regardless of
my interests: but still if the law upholds its
conduct will abide by the laws decision
Undoubtedly Baldwin is great catch for the
local team as there is no better pitcher in the
League to-day. He is IN excellent condition
and has great confidence of doing great work
thIs year. 1t is not at all unlikely that one or
two more prominent Association players will
be hooked by the local club to-day or Monday.
4 man well informed on the matter stated last
evening that both pitcher Gumbert and catcher
Q COnEOr Baldwins old catcher, can be Sc
cured by the Pittsburg club.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
WASHINGTON, PA. Feb. 2.-The colored
people about this place are angry about the
manner in which West was executed yester-
day. After the execution the body was
conveyed in wagon to Basil Vests home
at Fairview. suburb of this town. Basil and
several of his friends remained with the body
all night. and stated that Vests body turned
partly over in the coffin, and there was
trembling of life during the fore part of the
morning. At 12 o'clock to-day the body was
still warm. No pulsations were apparent, how
ever.
This afternoon the remains were conveyed to
the Mount Zion graveyard, at West Pike Run,
and inferred. The report that West was
chloroforned was true. The deputies at
tempted to dress him at l:20 P. M, Thursday,
before the execution. He groaneu and turned
over in his bed, and attempted to push away
the proceedings. A half grain of morphine
was injected into West, in the hope that it
would quiet him. 1t had no effect on him at
all. Chloroform was then administered to him.
and while in this condition he was secured to
the board with bands of ticking. When the
execution party reached the hall of the Court
House the cold air seemed to revive him, and
he opened his eyes and looked about. The
scaffold and high board fence was torn away
to-day. but not until the curiosity of a large
crowd was satisfied. No blame is attached TO
Sheriff Lockhart for the bungling of the execu-
tiop.

route from Cleveland to Louisville. During
his short stay here he breathed forth fire, smoke
and lava, and in language not to be mistaken
mumated that the League had made a mistake
IN sizing him up for an easy mark as it would
lind hin very hot pepper before it was through
with him. He was positive that the League
had no chance to oust HIM from the Cincinnati
Park: that he had paid the rent and kept up
the organization for the past three months.
He left 81. 500 to pay the quarterly rent on the
park.
u VIII be there next spring when the season
opens, said Mr. johnson, with a fine team of
ball players, headed by the only Mike Kelly.
Il may be that Reilly, McPhee and Holiday
will not play on my team but if they don't you
can win money by betting that they will not
play anywhere else. The law cannot force
them TO play but it can prevent them from
playing anywhere else except for the club with
