New YORK, November 15-The Base
Ball League convention on reSuminR
business at once took up the discussion
OF the disposal of the ten per cent gate
receipts. After session lasting for
four aud a half hours, the convention
decided 10 rescind the ten per cent
assessment rule. This course was not
adopted without a hard fight, as the
western clubs, of all hut two of them
were largely benefited oy the assess
ment plan. Together with the aOOll-
ton of the assessment rule, it was de-
Cided that each CLUB competing in the
championship game shall draw fity per
cent OF the net receipts Of such game.
II is said but for the dire effects which
were foreshadowed as 10 tue future OF
the league that the western clubs would
not have submitted. IJ is an open Sc
cret that the abolition was eventually
carried by vote OF only TO 8.
Among the minutes was the record OF
President Young's recollection TO the
presidency for the three years next en-
suing. Mr.. Young was elected secre-
tary aud treasurer by the National
Board.
The following magnates were elected
mem bers Of the board OF directors: j.

cago; Chris Wonder Ahe, ST. Louis; G.
Ryrue, Brooklyn; A. II. Soden, Boston,
and II. K Won Der Horst, Baltimore.
They represent three eastern and three
western clubs and were elected by bal
lot
The National Board, consisting OF A.
Fl. Soden, c. II. Byrne and President
Young, was reelected.
The resolutions a0oishiug the 10 per
cent. assessment also abolish section 40
OF the rules, under which II was pro-
vided that 10 per cent. of the receipts
of each championship game should be
forwarded to Washington TO pay the
expenses OF the officials and 70 form

PITTsBURG, November l5.-The sit
ration between the operators and
miners Of the Pittsburz district remains
unchanged. The New York aud C,eve-
land Gas Coal Company, and the
Pttsburg and Chicago Gas Coal
Company, two Of the largest
firms in the district, are operat-
ing their mines at So cents per ton, IA
cents under the district price establish
ed as a result Of the recent big strike.
Other operators who ars running
their mines under the Columbus agree
ment, say it is impossible 10 compete
with these two companies with such
big difereutial against iEen. They
have served notice on the miners that
they must submit 90 a cut, but the al
swer was a positive refusal
This IS the present status or the case
and developments are awaited by both
sides. lt is probable taal Ii the miners
wages are reduced in defiance Of the
Columbus scale, the miners will take
the matter into court aud ask that the
law compel an Observance OF the con-
tract.
There has been talk OF strike among
the English speaking coke workers, out
as they have not been aCle thus far 20
enlist the assistance OF tbe foreign e.e-
mert, there mas nothing come OF the

TIE CORONRR'S VERDICT
In the Washington o. n. Casss-sAys the
People in the Court House Were IN No
Danger.

In the WaShiugton o. n. Cases-sAys the
People in the Court House Were IN No
Danger.
WASHINGTON c. r., O., November IS.
Coroner J. n. Edwards, OF this city.
began his inquest on the five persons
that were shot in front OF the Court
House iG this place on the night OF Oc-
tober Il, 1894, two or three days after
the occorrence, aud obtained the testi-
mony OF ninety-sight witnesses.
1t was quite a surprise to many OF the
citizens when they learned that the
Coroner had returned his verdict 10 o-dsy,
as il was generally understood that the
verdict would be withheld until A. Is.
Colts testimony could be obtained.
The following Is Coroner Edwards YER
dict:
After having viewed tue bodies and
heard the evidence, do tud that the
deceased, Smith WEIGH, Mac. johnson,
Jesse Judy, VIM. A. Sans and Theo-
dore zimmerman, cane 10 their death
by being struck while In front OF the
court house on the evening OF Octo-
Ger 10. 1894, with Ieaden balls
fired from the interior OF the court
house in Washington G. H., by Ohio
State National Guards, who were under
command OF James f. Cook, as Sheriff
of Favette county, and A. B. Colt, as
Colonel OF the Fourteenth Regiment OF
Ohio National Guards; and | do hnd
that ST the time OF the
firing by the guards there was
no imminent danger Of serious destruc-
tion OF property or OF harm TO anyone
inside the Court House, or the remotest
danger of the prisoner, WIN. Dolby,
coIored, being rescued from the Gus
tody Of Sheriff Cook.
ISigned JAMES NJ. EDWARDS,
Coroner.
Up to this time the Common Pleas
Court has not impannelled any special
grand jury TO consider the case OF Colonel
Colt aud Sheriff Cook. The regular
term of the Common Pleas Court will
not be held till the irst week In jan
uary, '95, and IL is not known whether
the case will be deferred until then or
taken up at once:
The Coroner has turned over all testi-
mony taken in the inquest aud his ver-
dict TO the Prosecuting Attorney, and
the action of the court is awaited with
intense interest. IL is said 10 case IN
dIctments are found against Colt and
Cook that there will be r change OF
venue and the trial be held In some
other county. Tho widely circulated
story that Col. Colt would have been In
any manner mlstreated Ia the case had be
come here TO testify, is absurd, as the
city has long since resumed itS normal
condition. and no attempt 10 annoy the
Colonel is even dreamed Of There has
been no disposition among the citizens
TO interrupt the course OF the
inquest, and Colonel Colt would receive
respectful consideration, just as any
other witness. OF course Is is well
known that the prisoners who are held
on charges for murder ia the first de-
gree are not legible TO bail, and Colonel
Colt, who was Adjutant General OF
Oaio under Governor Campbell, and
Sheriff Cook, also a prominent citizen.

they go TO trial.
