DETROIT, June 13. 1t now looks as II
the free silver Democrats have obtained
tho mastery in this state and will knock
out all Don NJ. Diokinson's plans. Fred
A. Baker, the leader Of the Democratic
silver party, was jubilant when he an
nounoed that Michigan would be repre-
sented at the Democratic convention by a
solid silver delegation. He said that there
wore ten outspoken silver men in the dele
cation, and six contests would be made.
The delegation at large, according to Ba-
ker, is TO be unseated. including Elliott
g. Stevenson, Diokinson's partner, and
silver men given their places. Contests
are also 70 bo brought in the Ninth,
Fourth and Seventh districts, and Baker
says they Will all be decided In fovor Of
the silver men. The committee on creden-
tials IS TO settle Michisan's case in favor
OF the contestants. Baker says Nebraska
is to be treated likewise, and this will
give the silver meen a two thirds major
ity. The contests vii he based on undue
Federal Office holding influence and the
violation by some county delegations of
their convention Instructions. If the con-
tests are decided in favor Of the silver
men, the allegation will stand 16 for sill
yer ana 1s ,or gold The unit rule will
then be- insisAod upon and Michigan Will
be solid for silver.

WAS A POLISH BARON.
Man Who Committed Suicide at Arch :
bald Is Identified.


The identity of the man who suicided
by taking laudanum was revealed on
Saturday, when the publisher of the
Garnik, a Wilkes Barre Polish paper,
waited upon Coroner Longstreet and
after examining the effects Of the dead
man stated that he was, as surmised,
his late editor, Baron Hugo Smeritz,
recently of CracOw, Poland.
Smeritz, he stated. was a highly edu-
Gated man and an excellent linguist.
He left Wilkes-Barre last Monday os-
tensibly for u pleasure trip, having $50
in his pocket when he took his depar-
ture. No money was found upon him
when his dead body was discovered in
the COW field.
The writing in the memorandum
book was translated by the Wilkes
Barre publisher as follows:
please make no dissection of my re-
mains. 1 have poisoned myself with
laudanum. If you find out who | am
don't write to my mother in the old
country. I took laudanum at 1880"
Four hours later he wrote: II feel
good yet. only about an hour and half
aftertaking the laudanum | felt bad
and could not stand up. / don't care
for life. | have passed my life and
found it a terrible one. | can see moth
ing i'm the future. and I don't care to
fight with this life. for l have no one to
fight for. l am sorry only for my
mother. If any one finds out who am
please don't write her. for am an only
SON."
The latter part Of the letter was
written in IL scrawling hand and the
final few lines were difficult to deciph-
er. evidently having been written when
the drug was beginning to take effect
The remains will be taken to Wilkes
Barre for interment.

KETRICK IS RETIRED.
Untrue That lncOmpetcncy Had Any.
thing to DO with II.

A great injustice has been done Um-
pire Larry Ketrick of this city by the
publicity given the following dispatch:
Wilkes-Barre. Pa, Aug. l5.--Larry Ket-
rick, of Scranton, recently appointed
umpire in the Eastern league. was released
tonight. Seevral of the clubs had made
charges of imcompetency against him.
There is not grain of truth in the
fact that several clubs had made
charges of incompetency against him,
the one. Now that Ketrick has been
was dismissed on that account. He
has been retired against President
Powers personal wishes. and for the
sake of another umpires family. This
statement is not based on rumor or
supposition, but Is an actual fact.
When Umpire Gaffney was re-engag-
ed last Thursday it meant that either
Hornung. Doescher or Swartwood
would have to go. Mr.. Hornung was
which left the inference that Ketrick
retired Hornung has been taken on
again. There is no need of making the
deal any palmer.
The falsity of the incompetency part
of the Wilkes-Barre dispatch is shown
in the fact that Tom Burns. the Spring
field manager, is the only league official
who has made any protest against him.
An umpire who will satisfy all but one
club in q league Is u pretty fair article.

JOHNSON MASSEY.
The Pitching OF the One aud the Hitting
Of the Other Were to Much for
the Canadians.

Tommy Johnson's pitching skill and
some timely stick work in which big
BIZ Massey played the leadingrole won
Tor Scranton the game with Toronto
saturday. That sent the Canadians
away from here with only one victory
ont of the three games.
All that til. enemy could make off
johnson up to the ninth inning was
Wrights double and Smiths scratch
MT, the ball rolling slowly to a point
halfway between The plate and third.
For eight innings the only Canucks to
plank their feet on first base were the
two players just mentioned and Casey
ana Lut"hberg who, respectively, in
Inc seventh, We're hit by "a pitched ball
and made a force hit. Scranton had
meanwhile earned four of its six runs
and had played a fast and errorless
game.
But the pace was too hot to be main
tained and the Canadians were pre-
scented with three unearned runs in the
ninth. Delehapty hit fast grounder to
Moss. The ball took a deceptive bound,
Moss juSsled it and Del reached first.
ward hit one down to Hickey that
should have forced Delehanty, but
Hickey was over anxious and couldn't
field the ball. Tom o. Brien singled Del
ehanty home, Ward reaching second
Casey forced O'Brien at second and
placed Ward on third. Lutenberg's
single scored Ward and sent Casey to
third. he coming home on Wright's hit
that forced Gutenberg at second Smith
was thrown out at first.
MADE FOUR RUNS.
pt do
three in the first on Delehanty's bad
throw, single by Meaney, O'Brien's
sacrifice and singles by Eagan, Ma
gure and Massey. The later's hit bring
ing in two of the four. Again in the
fifth Massey was in evidence, his two
baser scoring O'Brien and Egan who
had got on the circuit on a base on
balls and a single. Massey made another
double in the seventh when there was
no chance for tallying.
Hickey placed second in place of
Keister who had a badly strained
throwing hand. Hickey showed him
self to be fast youngster who covers Il
great deal of territory and puts a great
deal Of steam in his work. He has q
clean. easy swing at bat which indi-
fes that he knows how to hit.
Johnson and Massey made a pretty
play i'm the first when Ward hunted one
toward first, Johnson scooping it up to
Massey just before Ward reached the
bag. Massey in the sixth made a
regular Carey play by stretching him
self and making a one-hand catch Of
Maguire's wide assist.
Ward who played his first game for
Toronto, was given generous and lusty
applause when he first appeared at the
plate and the same recognition was ac-
corded him later. He did not rise to
his new surroundings. however. but
made two erros. one a muffed thrown
ball and the other a wild throw to first.
