base Ball Matters,

CHICAGO, Oct 23.-Although the
American association completed its
labors for the present at the Wellington
hotel today, the most important question
as to what cities will constitute the next
years circuit still remains undecided. A
committee consisting of Barnie of Phila-
delphia, Schmelz of Columbus and Won
der Abe of st. Louis was appointed with
power to investigate the feasibility of a
ten or twelve club circuit. A larger cir
cult will probably begin the season and
the weaker clubs be dropped.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Oct. 23.-When the
Philadelphia express came into the
Reading railroad station last night those
OF the platform noticed a man hanging
to the flagstaff of the engine. His feet
almost touched the wheels. When the
train stopped he fell unconscious to the
ground. but the doctors found
that he was uninjured. When
he became conscious he said
he was Harry Mclaughlin. While 60
ing home from the theatre he started to
cross Race street. The light on an en-
CINE obscured the approach of the en-
press. AS the pilot was about to strike
him he jumped as high as possible. De
scending, he clutched the flag staff. The
train was running thirty miles an hour
and none saw the mans terrible peril.
Many times he was about to relax his
grip, but the thought of death nerved
him to hold on to finish.

At 3 o'clock William II. Adams, fire
man at the electric light plant of the
Louisville Gas company, was throwing
coal into the furnace. when one of the
nest of seven boilers let 60. The shock
in the vicinity was like an earthquake.
Adams was thrown TO the ground with
terrific force and received such internal
injuries that he will die. The shed in
which the boilers were located was com
pletely demolished and pieces of
iron and timber and showers

gathered about the book keeper at the
back of the store. With book keeper
Solomon Dreyfus they were caught in
the wreckage but it is believed all es-
capped alive, Dreyfus was seriously IN
juTcd but not dangerously. Carrie

in flames. The department was prompt

doors north, and the Polytechnic library
building two numbers south. At one
time it seemed The Courier-Journal

but the wind was from the north and
carried the heat in the opposite direc-
ton. BY strenuous efforts the Polytech-
mic building on the south was saved with
a heavy damage from water to the
books, pictures and other art collections.
The fire caught in aud burned out the
two upper floors of j. V. Il. Scott &

SALINA, Kas.. Oct. % Everything
was fixed in the caucus before the al
lance convention proceeded to the cleo
ton of officers. The various candidates
and leaders met at noon to arrange the
slate. President McGrath stated he de-
sired a v~lndication. He gave the caucus
to understaL d that he had enough dele
gates in the convention to both force
endorsement and v%indication and secure
reelection. He did not wish, however,
to be the cause of discord in the party
and he would withdraw in favor of w.
A. Utley, state treasurer. This was
agreed to, but in the convention matters
went differently. w. II. Biddle was
elected over Utley. The result was a
great surpries, particularly to McGrath
who could not see IN it any endorsement
or vindication. DIR. McLalin of Topeka,
however, smoothed things over by pro
posing a resolution expressing unquali-

Railroad Chatter.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23-Considerable sur
prise vas caused today by a brief circu-
lar letter sent out by Chairman Midgley
for the information of members of the
Western Freight association. In it the
chairman says that he is advised that
one line in the association has a contract
several years old and has several years
yet to run which makes it necessary for
that road to protect the rate of 10 cents
per 100 pounds on stone from Duluth to
Chicago. The established rate of the
association is 121a cents and up to this
time it was supposed all lines were quot
ing that rate. Midgley does not name
the company that has the contract but
it is supposed to be either the Wisconsin
Central or the Chicago & Northwest
ern. Both these roads are members OF
the Western Traffic association and
neither Of them could have concealed its
contract or made a lower rate than the
one quoted in published tariffs without
violating both the presidents agreement
and that Of the Western Freight asso ia
ton. That information should be given
out at this late day after the contract
has admittedly been in effect for several
years is regarded as a very cool proceed.
ing to say the least and Chairman Midg-
ley will be called upon not only to di.
vulge the name of the offending member
but to subject it to the severest dis
cipline provided bv the agreement.

been received here of a battle yesterday
between a band of Blood Indians and a
force of Canadian mounted police. The
fight took place just across the interna-
tional line not over fifty miles from this
place. The Blood Indians, who are old
time enemies of the police made a raid
IN a band of horses that belong to the
latter a few days ago and ran off with
nearly all of them. Ten of the
police started in pursuit and
coming upon them suddenly yesterday
both sides commenced firing and the
first fire killed one policeman and two
Indians and several were wounded on
both sides. News was brought in by a
Blackfoot who witnessed the fight. The
fight was still in progress when he left.

take its station at Blackfoot agency and

Temperance Work.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-The Illinois ION
partisan Christian Temperance alliance
today took up two important steps. The
first was the most interesting n of the
convention and the action taken evens
up the field for temperance work which
is entirely different from what has ever
been attempted before. The convention
appointed a committee to consider and
gather information of bi-chloride of gold
cures for inebriates, the committees re-
port to form the basis for the future
work of the alliance. The other action
was to expunge from the constitution
the sentence. "Nor shall any incumbent
during his term of Office engage in cam
paign work for any political party" on
the ground that the clause was a hin
drance to the personal liberty Of officers

MONTREAL, Oct. 23.-Premier MERCER
is evidently not disposed to sit quietly
by while the royal commission is here
investigating the charges of boodling pre-
ferred against him and his cabinet. This
morning his personal organ, rElecteur,
published a sensational article attacking
Lord Stanley, the governor general, and
limiting at a movement for annexation to
the United States. The article init
mates that there has been a sort of poll
teal intrigue between Lord Stanley and
the premier and exprises surprise that
the former should have lent himself to
such practices. His lordship declares to
be indolent and apathetic and is other
wise severely condemned. The article
concluded: Lord Stanley will perhaps
perceive before long that he is sleeping
on a volcano. Until now the prov
ince of Quebec has remained at
tached to England because the people of
this Province appreciate the liberty of
the constitution and the constitutional
customs which have been given to us by
Great Britain. But as soon as the rep

those things which attach us to England
to be trampled upon with impunity the
situation changes, and out of respect to
our own dignity we are obliged to gues.

Deprived Of Their Argument That
Gladstone Would Leap in the
Dark.
G1ndstOne's Bill.

copyrighted 1891 by N. Y. Associated Press.I
LONDON, Oct. 23.-Gladstone has re
ceived his home rule bill. Matured by
long consideration by himself and dis
cussed in detail by his prob lble col
leagues of the next liberal ministry the
measure has now assumed such definite
form as to enable Gladstone at any mo.
ment to place it before the country.
Earl Spencer Morley and Sir William
Vernon Harcourt have aided him in
shaping the polical features while Lord
Horshell especially attended to the legal
and constitutional form of the scheme,
Lord Roseberry, though continually
advised as to the progress of the
bill, tacitly declined to assist
or interfere till recently
when he was informed hat he must de-
fine his attitude toward the project of
the liberal leaders. He then assented to
confer on the matter. Sir William Yer
non Harcount and Morley accordingly
week and obtained his adhesion to the
project. Had he refused his assistance
the services of some other peer must
have been obtained to lead the party in
the houss of lords. AS to what time the
scheme in detail will be divulged de-
ponds upon the fate and character of the
governments Irish local government
measure but the fact that the scheme has
been perfected and is expected to
be announced by Morley next
week will deprive %unionists of their stock
argument that Gladstone has no definite
idea of what his bill will be and that his
colleagues throughout the country are
relying upon him and would take a leap
in the dark. If the resolution came 10Y
the measure would be published with
such completeness as would leave con-
servatives no chance to say that the
country had been deceived on any i'm
portant point. When the general cleo
ton does come the issue will be fought
definitely declared home rule lines.
If a popular votes places Gladstone in
power the curse thus adopted will para
lie the opposition. The house of lords
will not dare to reject the bill on the
ground that the vote of the electorate
had not been especially taken thereon.
Regarding the principles of the new
measure enough has been officially as
certained to enable n to state that it
gives the proposed Irish Legislature full
er powers than did the bill of 1885. 1t
retains the lower and upper houses of
the Irish parliament, vests the appoint
ment of the judiciary in the Irish execu-
tive and maintain a larger representa-
ton of Ireland in the imperial parlia-
ment. Complete questions of financial
relations and the control of the police
are also settled.
