Saleries-Carey Gets His Release.

An important meeting of the directors of
the PortlandsBase Ball association was held
last evening.
me rcduct1t in salaries of all the
players was considered at length. 1t was
maintained by the management that in view
OF the present depleted condition of the
treasury, the salaries should be reduced
The tossers were severally asked to assent
to the cut and the great majority conceded.
Pitcher William Carey, however, stoutly
refused to submit. He would not give in a
whit. and accordingly his release was
handed him. This will be disappointment
to the base ball public of Portland Mr..
Carey has played here now for parts of the
last three seasons, and by his always
conscientious work, leaves behind him a
host of friends. He is a good ball player,
and will have no difficul ty in securing an
engagement. His home is in New Haven,
Conn, for which city he leaves this morn
ing.
The directors used me all right" said

port this afternoon a wreck. She had been
In collision with the steamer Puritan of the
FallsRiver line near Faulkner's Island, and
looked as though she had been in cyclone
She was towed in by the tug Aries, which
picked her up about five miles from Faulk-
ners. Captain kingsbury said the schooner
was bound from New Sheffield to Norwalk
Island with deekload of scallop shells.
The night was clear and the schooner was
making about two miles an hour. The
lights OF the schooner were burning at the
time OF the collision, it being 1895 this
morning. The Puritan came down the
sound at high speed, and when nearly
OF peste the schooner turned and crossed
her DOW, striking her on the port side in
the eyes. The head of the Chase went into
kindling wood, and everything was tanned
aft. The crash was terrific, the force of if
turning a table in the cabin aft upstde
down. The Puritan pulled back and steamed
around the schooner three times, Offering
assistance to her, but his was declined be-
cause Captain Eingshury dared not take
risk of towing behind the steamer. Captain
Kingsbury was at the wheel when the
collision occurred. All hands came on deck
and got in the schooner's boat Fearing she
was stove open and would go down, but
later returned and her sails were taken in
Then the masts, which had been broken off,
but were still standing, fell to the deck and
the wreck was complete. Five years ago
the schooner was rebuilt from tho water
line up. She is tight as a jug, today. The
schooner's owners are NJ. g. Shaw and Son
of Bath, and will come here tomorrow and
decide upon the terms of settlement and re-
pairs to the vessel.

Of his severity. Having noticed the
growing spirit of characterization, lie
called the non-eommissioned oneers
together and severely reprimanded
them. This was on Friday night. The
men subsequently became noisy and
troublesome and the commander visit
ed their rooms and ordered that they
be silent. The men became insolent,
and openly refused to obey the order.
They finally became threatening and
the commander drew his sword in self
defense. This had the effect Of re-
storing order.
The commander Immediately tele-
graphed Emperor William. who order
ed the arrest of the mutineers. The
Fourth regiment of the guards was
summoned and surrounded the school
during the night. The non-commis-
stoned officers were aroused and went
into the courtyard, where the COM
mander addressed them, saying:
You are all prisoners Everybody
who tries to escape must abide by the
consequences.
All the prisoners were escorted to
the railway station, and at 3 o'clock
in the morning sent to the Magdeburg
fortress.

TIN PLATE PLANTS CLOSED.

All tho Concerns in the Country Cease
Operation.
Pittsburg, Sept. 30.-Last night all
the tin plate plants in the country closed
down and there is no indication as to
when they will again be put in oper-
alton. There Is wide difference be-
tween the manufacturers and workers
on the subject of wages and the latter
insist that Notwithstanding the reduc-
tlon Of the duty that the wages agreed
upon in June can be paid the balance
OF the scale year.
Two important reasons are given Cor
ers. One Is that the closing of the
factories is being done to discourage
prospective builders of tin plate plants
There are Mt least ten in course of cree
ton in the United States. while man
ufacturers Of tin plate machinery are
cnlnrging their works. 1t was decided
to put up some of these factories after
1t was known that the cut In the duty
would be one cent per pound. An
other reason given by the manufacture
ers Is that under Secretary Carlisle's
ruling 4G,OOO,OOO pounds of tin plate
now In bond, can be put on the mar
ket on Monday by paying the new tar
in OF IL cents per pound. This will
fill all the demands for some time
to come. on the other hand the work
men assert that the shut down Is
merely n scheme of the manufacturers
to compel their employees to work for
less wages.
