WHO WILL RIDE FREE.
Chairman Midgley PromuIgate
Rules Regarding the Issuance of
Passes ON Railways.

st. Louis, Nov. 1S.-Chairman Midg-
ley has promulgated the rules to be OBJ
served by parties to the agreement
governing the issuance of free or re-
duced transportation during 1895.
The intent of the agreement is to
limit the issuance of all forms of free
and reduced transportation so far as it
can be done with due regard to the in
terests of the read, and particularly to
abolish the custom of giving passes to
influence the obtaining of business. 1t is
further provided that no passes Shall
be issued to representatives Of refriger-
ator, tank line, er other private car
companies; to representatives of street
car or cable companies to representa-
tives of foreign lines occupying COM
mercial positions, or to officers of roads
operating less than twenty-five miles of
line. No passes shall be granted 70
proprietors, managers or employ ees of
hotels, to officers or agents of OCEAN
steamship companies, or to members of
the Railway Surgeons association.
The question as to the issuance of
passes to officers or members of rail-
way labor organizations has been re-
ferred to the executive committee Its
decision is that no. passes, annual or
time, are to be granted to such officers
or members. In case of emergency, q
trip pass may be issued, at the dis
erection of the general manager.
No passes shall be issued on account
of any road whose name does not ap-

BLOODY BATTLE.
Members of Prominent Families in
Kentucky Engage in a Murderous
ARRAY.

Greensboro, KY, Nov. 1S-A bloody
battle was fought today, in which
John Ashby, an ex-policeman, and
Jack Nevetin, a grocer and saloonist,
were mortally wounded, and a police
man wounded.
Nevetin had told Ashby and his gang,
to stop dancing in his place on Sun
day. They left and frightened some
women in a house of ill-fame by a
sham fight. One of the women ran to
Nevetin with the story that a man
was cut to pieces. Just then Ashby
stepped from behind a tree and at
tackled Nevetin with a club. Nevetin
ran into the house and he and his bro
Their appealed to two policemen. Ashby
drew a revolver and fired at Jack New
etin.
Immediately seven pistols were
drawn and a perfect fusilade followed
Ashby fell with a ball in his right
breast and in his lungs and is now
dying.
Jack Nevetin fell with bullet n
his left breast, one in the arm, and one
finger was shot off. He is now uncon-
scious and cannot live.
officer Stuart received a ball in his
leg.
All parties implicated, of which
there are about eleven, are of prom

st. Louis, Nov. Heterogeneous
have been practically completed for
the Trans-M Mississippi Congress, which
will meet here on the 18th inst, to dis
cuss, as the call states, all questions
which may affect the interest of the
people in the territory lying west of the
Mississippi, and which may be the sub
ject of legislation by the United States
Congress, and to express. through res
oution, the sentiment of the western
people.
1t will also endeavor' to take such
steps for the presentation of proceed
ings of these sessions to that body as
will command its attention and ae-
ton.
While any such question may proper
ly be brought forward for discussion,
among those most prominent are:
The reconciliation OF silver, irriga-
ton of arid and other lands, the dis
position of Indian and public lands, the
Nicaragua canal, additional bankrupt
cy law, the Improvement of western
rivers and harbors, anti-option legisla-
ton, mining laws and admission of ter
ritorie5 to statehood.
Delegates have already been appoin-
leu from minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska,
Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Idaho,
Montana. Washington, Oregon Cali
fornia, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
South Dakota, and the attendance will
probably be the largest the congress
has ever had, and will include the
most prominent men of the territory
named. Three evening sessions have
already been arranged for and the sub
jects will be:
Irrigation speaker Hon.
Elwood Mead, president National Irri-
cation Congress and state engineer of
Wyoming; Hon. VIM. b. Smythe, chair

CRAzED BY HIS HEIGHT.
4 Boy Who Grew So Tall That ii
worried Him insane.

Patchogue, L. l., Nov. 16.-Ernest
barron, II years old, of this place, was
sent to Poughkeepsie insane asylum TO-
day. His arrangement was the result
of worry over the curious and rapid
manner in which he has grown in the
last three years. barron was OF ordl-
nary build; if anything, a trifie below
the standard for a 14-year-old lad
Soon afterward he began to grow so
rapid that it caused comment on all
Sides Before he was II he was more
than six feet in stature. Comments OF
his friends and family and a sweetheart
began to tell on him. He tried in vain
to stop his growth. He became morose,
sullen and melancholy, and would spend
hours sitting by himself, without utter
ing a word.
/ At last he became insane, but it was
not till yesterday that his parents con-
scented to his removal, and then it was
done upon advice of the doctor, who
feared that he might harm himself.
Bottle after bottle and box after box
of anti-fat medicine was taken, and
several times Ernest refrained from
eating and drinking for such long per-
iods that he was nearly dead from eX-
haustion. In spite of every effort the
inches were steadily added to his
height and pounds to his weight until
when he measured more than six feet
his weight was more than 200 pounds.
Finding every effort to stop his
growth in vain, he tried work as a rem
edy, but his strength was too slight.
and the climax was reached when a
young girl to whom he was devoted
gave him ''the mitten' on account of
his misfortune

fronted by new condition. condition
which in every particular is as harmful
and in many respects lar more danger
Gus than open dishonesty or fragrant
dissipa ton. That is, treachery within
the lines. Today and for months past
we had men identified with professional
baseball who for years have been the
beneficiaries of the game, have re-
ceived liberal compensation for the
work they have done, earned their
livelihood entirely and absolutely from
the opportunities afforded them by
clubs and organizations operating I'M
der the national agreement, and We find
and now know that these men, during
this time, have persistently been identi-
flying themselves with schemes and
combinations, the objects and purposes
of which are to weaken and perhaps
destroy the splendid fabric of our ma
tionai game which it has taken years
of effort, anxiety and large outlay of
capital to construct.
THE moment any. suspicion attaches
! to baseball public confidence is lost or
even chilled, the occupation of the ball
player is gone. We must all stand or
fall together.
cit is a matter of public runor, and
is also a fact which has come to our
knowledge, that men identified with the
club members of the national agree
ments have been cooperating in tina
formation of clubs or organizations
whose purpose is to conflict with the
national agreement. In view of this
knowledge, the National League and
American Association Of Professional
clubs, in convention assembled, respect
fully request the national board to de-
clare A c. Buckenburger, William
Barnie and Fred Pfeffer Ineligible to
be employed either as manager or play
er or any capacity whatever, and they
be forthwith suspended"
The suspended men are given a
chance to exonerate themselves if they
can. The same punishment given them
is advised towards all others who may
be guilty of similar conduct.
The suggestions of the committee
signing the manifesto have been adopt
ed by the national board OF professional
baseball clubs.
Apropos to all this, the National
League and American Associa ton, I'M
der whose laws the Western League
and Eastern League are working, has
received communication from the
secretary and president, respectively,
of the latter organization, calling at
tention to a movement that is on foot
to establish rival organization to the
National League and projected at
tempt to weaken International League
at the outset by CARRYING off the
leagues players. The officers referred
to ask for protection against such a
movement

ANOTHER VIEW OF TT.
A Probability That the Body Was
That of PitzeI.

A Probability That the BODY YVES
That of PitzeI.
Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.-The prevailing
impression in this city regarding the
gigantic insurance swindie. which re-
suited in the arrest in Boston yester-
day of Herman Midget, otherwise
known as H. II. Holmes, and variety
of other aliases, is that the corpse
found in the Callow Hill street house,
and on which the $4,000 was obtained,
was not bogus corpse, but was in
reality that of the beneficiary, 3. f.
Pitzel, and that he was murdered by
Holmes.
This is the belief, not only Of the de-
tectives of the Fidelity Insurance com
pany, which was so cleverly victimized,
but of Superintendent of Police Lindon
and the coroner. They think the con-
fession made by Holmes last night de-
failing the conspiracy was ruse to
avert the theory of his having made
way with the man who for eight years
was his partner in crime.
Mrs. Pitzel, wife of the victim or
conspirator, will be arrested tomorrow.
A thorough investigation has been
made in this city and has aroused
strong doubts as to the trutn of
Holmes story of the manner in which
they got the body. Not the slightest
clue to show that it was brought here
in trunk about the time of the dis
covery has been found.
Mr.. Fouse says that ex-Assistant
District Attorney Marshal F. McDon-
aid, of st. Louis, will not be arrested.
| It was he who in 1886 prosecuted the
famous MaXwell-Preller murder case,
and much surprise has been expressed
that a man of mis- prominence would be
even Indirectly connected with such an
affair as this.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 1S.-A. c. Buck
enburger was much surprised today
when shown the Associated Press 6is-
patch to the effect that he, together
with Barnie and Pfeffer, had been sus-
pended by the National League. He
said:

include me. Every member of that
committee knows fuliswell that I was

The Doctors Killed Him.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 1S.-The Sentinel
tomorrow morning will publish an inter-
view with DR.. H. S. Tanner, physician
who has given much study to psyche
logical subjects, in which the declara-
ton is made that Con Riordan was prob
ably killed by the physicians VINO made
the autopsy. DR.. Tanner makes the as
sertion that they violated the law Of
New York in holding an autopsy in less
than twelve hours after supposed death,
and without consent Of relatives of the
deceased.
The doctor is Of the opinion that
Riordan was in a state OF suspended
animal ton at the time OF the autopsy.
He condemns the physicians for not
of death before applying the scalpeL
The suspension of respiration, he as
serts, was the only indication of death,
and this the doctor holds is by no
means positive.

WAS NOT THE STRANGER.
Peculiar Occurrence in 81 Sporting
House at Denver.

Denver, Col, Nov. 1S.-H. Moller, an
Italian, entered the house of Marie
Ventres, at 1880 Twentieth street, near
Market, about midnight last night and
soon became engaged in a quarrel with
the woman, and without the least
warning caught her by the throat. He
pressed his thumbs tightly upon her
windpipe and squeezed so hard that the
woman was not able to utter a sound.
She imagined that the man engaged
in choking her was the one VINO had
strangled Lena Taper, Marie Contas-
soft and Kiku Oyarna. She is a wo-
man of physical strength, and she
managed to release herself. She
screamed for help, and when an officer
arrived Moller was trying to cut her
throat with a razor.
Chief of Police Armstrong and the
police generally think that Moller is
nothing more than an ill-tempered
Italian. The detectives are not enthu-
siastic in the idea that their prisoner
is the man who strangled three women
recently.
This has added to the terror and ex-
element of the women of the half
world.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1S.-lSpe-
cial.1EW. B. Hepburn, one of the null
..a.t,s,iinous Republican senatorial can
gdidates in Idaho, is in Washington at
tending to supreme court cases.
To The Herald correspondent, to-
night, he said he would allow his name
TO be used before the legislature as a
candidate for the senatorial tosa; but
would not open headquarters and en-
gage in the general scramble that is
expected when Shoup, Mcconnell, Sweet
and other candidates come together
11pon that battle ground. In fact, Mr..
Hepburn says:
Il ann in no need of senatorships.

tom in Td1hO
politicians in washington have heard
things about war in the Republican
Camp that are indeed surprising. 1t is
said Shoup and Sweet have had a seri-
Gus falling out owing to the fact that
Saoup claims Sweet promised to with
draw from the race and leave him the
open field for the senatorship if he
(Sween were not endorsed by the
state convention. Sweet, on the other
hand, claims Shoup promised to with
draw and leave the field open for him,
end under such circumstances he did
not make a contest for denomination
as representative.
> Therefore, there is a bitter feeling
between their friends.
Mcconnell, who, early in the cam
uaign, was understood to have no SEN
atorial bee buzzing around, wants to
take advantage of this family quar-
rel, and come to Washington.
Dubois once proclaimed himself for
Hepburn, but is now making fight
for anybody TO beat Shoup. He knows
he has no more chance for reelection
than a fat turkey for surviving
Thanksgiving, unless he can have a
northern man elected this time and
leave him the open field as a southern
man.
Snoups election would cast a bur-
den on him. He worked on Shoup to
withdraw from the race for this rea-
son, and now he is ready to play fast
and loose on other candidates to ac-
complish his ends. Heyburn's friends,
who counted on his support. have be-
come suspicious, and do not know
where he stands. They say he owes
so much to Hepburn that at this time
he should be loyal from gratitude, but
they know he is so inordinately ambi-
tious and not likely to pause at any,
thing that will help him that they fear
to trust him and will keep their eyes
upon him until the ordeal is over.
This means fun for Democrats.

London, Nov. 1S.-Regarding the diamond
Trade, Premier Cecil Rhodes, of Cape
Colony, who amassed such large fortune
as director of various diamond mines at
Kimberly that he obtained the designation
/ OF The Diamond King said in an inter
view:
I'VE went to Chicago and spent $4,000
at the Worlds fair. The only. thing. L
made in return was a prohibitive duty.
America has usually taken about one
third Of the, export of cut diamonds, but
during the last few years of the depres-
sion in the United States. the sale has
been much reduced. We find that while
one part of the world is depressed, trade
with the others is improved.
The output Of diamonds is regulated.
We could mine three. times the quantity
of diamonds produced, but we could not
use them and there is no advantage in
producing beyond a certain amount.
