A. T. r.

On Saturday the Scranton association
forwarded to Shortstop Hutchinson of
Louisville the money necessary to pay
his transportation to Springfield ana
directed him to report to Manager NC
Dermott at that place today. In this
city nothing new Is known with refer
ence to the Hassamer negotiations.
John II. Brooks. who is in Syracuse
carrying on the negotiations with Pow
er. was not heard. from yesterday by
bis partners in this city and his success
in landing the captain first baseman is
not known.
In an Interview The Tribune's staff
correspondent. who Is with the club,
had with Power at Springfield Friday
Power admitted signing a cor .ract with
Manager Kuntsch Of Syracuse last Sep
tember but says 1t was for the balance
of 1895. He declares that he was not
presented with nor forwarded any new
contract for 1896 which should have
been done by Syracuse to secure the
players services for this year On this
latter point hinges the whole contro-
versy. KuntZsch has proved that he
reserved Power In September, 1895, but
he will have TO show that he presented
Power with an 1896 contract before he
can DISPOSE of him. Power says that
up to March 10. the day his release from
Syracuse was purchased by Scranton,
he had received no message, letter nor
word from the Syracuse manager. 1t
was week previous to this, he says,
that he submitted his terms to Manager
Burns, of Springfield and hei believes
he is obeying the national agreement
by sticking to the Springfield club. ..
The matter hinges Oh the nature of
the contract Power signed with
Kuntsch. Possibly he signed SO con-
tract under the impression that it was
for the balance of '95, but in that event
lack of knowledge wouldn't save him
and he would have to 60 to Scranton.
Up to the time of Powers arrival IN
Springfield Thursday night after g
journey from California which lasted
five and half days, he had not learned
Of President Young's decision that he
was reserved by Syracuse, that Syra-
cuse had the right to sell him TO Scran-
ton and that he must not play else
swhere until Manager kuntZsch of
Syracuse, gave the word.

Gen. Harrison's Indiana Tour.

BORDEN. Ind, Oct. 90. Gen. Harri-
sons special train went into
Clark county at a. m, from Evans
vile, amid a tremendous footing of
whistles and firing of cannon. The
street leading from the Air line to
scribner park was packed with people
TO such degree that is was difficult
to force a way through it TO the car
riages of the distinguished speaker
and party. When he appeared
from the rear of his car he was
greeted with loud cheers It took
some time to get him to the park and
more time after he had arri-ed there
70 force a passage through the dense
throng TO the stand. The crowd had
been contributed to by Louisville and
points north, and was estimated at
from $4,000 to 10000 people Every
body was making comparisons with the
crowd of 10000 or 50, 600 people who
came out to hear Bryan two weeks ago
The enthusiasm was of the intense
sort, and Gen. Harrison was given a
great ovation when he appeared on
the stand. and he was introduced by
y. I. Depaw. Gen. Harrison addressed
himself first 10 the workingmen. of
whom the crowd was largely COM
posed, explaining that they were the
first TO suffer from deprecated dol
lar, and they had already suffered
enough from low tariff.

McCouviIIe had assured Committeeman

night for Tiffn, which point was
reached at one o'clock and Bryan made
a short speech to 5000 who were wait

valuable work Of art to Mrs. Mckinley.
The work is exquisitely done in oil,
and the execution is so delibate and
the attention to detail so careful that
the resultant effect is that of the finest

Maj Mckinley is delighted with the
picture and all of Mrs MrKInlev's
