Bucicnbcrser, of This City.
PITrsDURGn, Nov. S0.-Therc is every
prospect that the Pittsburgh club will
be strengthened.
The club has two agents out after new

the team, came home to-day. He had
Ehrcts contract with him. ~ think
he will prove 4 good man for Pitts
burgh," says Buckenbergcr. "lIc
pitched elegantly for Sioux City the
past season. In the st. Louis games he
went i'll three consecutive days and
beat the Browns. II was ieariully cold
weather, but yet he exhibited great
speed"
"Ehret is 4 big man, has speed, an
excellent curve ball, and is about rs
cool 4 pitcher when at work rs one
would want to find. No matter whether
the opponents are banging out hard
hits, he still retains his composure.
"Did ] get Danny Lyons for third?
No, I was 4 few hours too late, for on
saturday morning Lyons signed with
the Chicago Association club. lie
would have been pleased to play here.
l saw Ioylc in Cincinnati and lie is
very anxious to play in this city, and ii

She struck the massive supports OF the

SO great that fifty yards OF the railway

was felt, but no one was killed, and,

Prominent Lawyers Retained to Push til,
Cases In Court.

Cases In Court.
NEW York, Nov. 80. Joseph II.
Choatc has been retained by the Re-
publican leaders OF this state TO repre-
sent the party in its efforts to prevent
Hill and his servants from stealing the
legislature. He is now engaged looking
up the case, and will have the general
direction OF it.
Associated with him is formidable
array of legal talent, including Judge
Lester w. Russell, William A. Suther-
land, candidate for attorney general in
the recent election, J. +. Parkhurst, OF
Bath; Robert L. Wilkinson; Mr.. Not
tingham. OF Syracuse; and James A..
Blanchard. counsel OF the Republican
National League. Matthew Hale, OF
Albany, will, in all probability, be re-
tanned, and possibly one or two other
equally prominent members OF the bar.
The retention OF these gentlemen
means that the Republican managers
are going to fight Hill with all the
power OF the law. They are going to
appeal TO the courts for justice, making
this appeal through men OF the highest
character and attainments. a careful
consideration OF all the cases in dispute
has been made, and plan OF action has
been agreed upon. Instead OF being
managed separately and Independently
MS heretofore, each case will have the
guidance OF the entire counsel, rs the
attorney in direct charge OF it will be in
communication with the leading counsel
in this city. The result OF this arrange
mcnt cannot iail to be OF the greatest
importance. No matter when the State
Board OF Canvassers takes up the dis.
puted districts, whether tomorrow,
next day, or fortnight hence, the
Republican side will be properly repre-.
scnted and ready to proceed.

Special Dispdlch 10 ne lHtdliqe'icsr
WASHINGTON, D. c., Now 30.-Littlo
change has been noted in tho speaker
ship contest within tho past twenty
four hours. Mr.. Mills is apparently
yc. in tho lead, and has the largest
number OF second choice votes. His
reserve strength is believed to be far in
advance OF any OF the other candidates.
Mr.. Crisp; OF Georgia, is regarded as a
waning candidate. Crisp's district has
enjoyed a great manufacturing boom
within the past year. 1t owes its pros
perity TO \ protective tariff, and Crisp
must therefore favor protection, mild
though il may be. II he Is the least
tainted with protection he is not in line
with the vast majority OF the Demo
cratic members OF the house, four-ffths
OF whom are out and out free traders,
and thus he is between two fires.
Should he desire the spcakership more
than 4 continuance in congress he
would rcnounce all tendency toward
protection. But if he would prefer 4
return 10 congress rather tnan q single
term as speaker lie would hold to the
best interests OF his district and lose
his present fight.
Mr.. Springer, Of Illinois, continues
10 play fast and loose with everyone,
claiming to be every and anything for
the purpose OF antagonizing no one,
hoping he may be the compromise can
didate.
Mr.. Mills yet "stands pat' on the
Cleveland, free trade and anti.silver
platform, believing that. the ex-Presi-
dents power will pull him through.
Hatch, OF Missouri, and Mcmillan, OF
Tennessee, are understood to be playing
for committee positions. The first
wants to be chairman OF the ways and
means committee, and the latter appro-
pria.ions. Bynum, OF Indiana, Holman,
OF the same state, Mcmillan, Hatch,
Crisp and half dozen others beside
Mills, expect either the craftsmanship OF
the appropriations, or ways and means
committees, ii not speaker. Should
Mills be elected Bynum will probably
be chairman OF the ways and means
committee. and Sayres, OF Texas, OF the
appropriations committee.
