I'm ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
A Clue to Some of the Uncalled For
0utrageS.
INVESTIGATION is BEING MADE.
1t is Claimed That Fines and Costs Fol
Violations of the Law Are Paid out Of
a General Fund and Many Saloon
Brawls Are Premeditated.

II is stated upon reliable information that
steps are being taken to get at the bottom of
a report that there is in existence in this and
other towns Of the coal region an organiza-
tion among the Polish and Lithuanian people
intended to promote conspiaces and other
unlawful purposes and that when sufficient
facts are CLEANED they will be placed before
the county authorities for the purpose
Of having prosecutions entered. Of
course the parties against whom the move
ment is directed are of the lower and reckless
classes of the nationalities named and this
being the case make the argument in favor of
the investigation SO much the stronger as it
is claimed that the conspiring parties being
of unfavorable or doubtful regulations can
have no good purpose in combining as re-
ported, 1t is not known that they have a
regularly organized society and are governed
by any declared rules, or laws, but the
developments of the past are convincing that
they are guided by some understanding,
verbal or otherwise.
Suspicion was first directed to the matter
through developments in cases before the
Justices of the Peace in town. Time and
again men have been arrested and charged
with atrOciously assaulting some unofending
person and when given hearing the accused
have frankly admitted that they committed
the assault but that mistake in identify had
been made and the victim had suffered for
some one else Immediately after enterinp
bail friends of the prisoners begin overtures
for settlement and the cost, of the case
together with doctor bill and PAYMENT to the
victim for lost time, are cheerfully made.
1t is now alleged that such assaults are in
most instances not mistakes. but intentional
attacks to avenge some wrong. imaginary or
otherwise, to some friend. or friends. of the
men who beat the victims and that in almost
every instance the costs and damages are
paid out of a general fund which is refreshed
whenever necessary by a general assessment
In confirmation of this it is also stated that
when the mistaken identity dodpe is NOT
resorted to the general saloon row is called
into play. The method of carving ont tbe
second plan is this the men to be pun
ished are watched for on a nav nipht
generally, and through some well
devised means induced to enter one of n
certain class of saloons. General conviyialitv
is INDUCED in for while until the intended
victims are thrown off their guard and then
the work of vengeance, or rather pure wick
edness, begins. Somebody calls for drinks

BRYAN,s "oUIET RIDE. -
1t Ends in "a Demonstration by the Citi-
Zens of RhinpbcCk,


UPPER RED Hook, y. Y, Aug. 90
Yesterday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. BRYAN
started out with their host and the usual
train Of newspaper men for"a a quiet drive. ."
1t ended, as usual, in brass band hur-
rah time ut Rhinebeck. a place of 200 in
habitants, about twelve miles from here.
where the candidate stopped for supper.
The party after leaving Red Hook drove
by the beautiful river residence of the As
tors, Chanlers and other wealthy public
people until they reached the home of
Governor Levi =. Morton at "Ellerslie." "
By the governors orders the party was
conducted through the immense stock
tarm and dairy, and the system Of steril-
lzlng milk was displayed. The residence
was then inspected and the party took
carriages and went down to Jacob A
Huppert's summer place.
Returning, stop was made at an open
air church picnic, where the party was
halted and asked to come in They went
IN, MIR. Bryan paying for the party. At
hhlnebeck half u hundred people were in
waiting when the party alighted. The
Hotel Rhinebeck, presided over by a Repub-
lican was decorated with bunting, and as
the party dined the crowd grew larger In
very short time 1t was decided to give a
welcome to the candidate, and George
Esselstein, Republican, was selected to
welcome Mr.. Bryan in a purely social way
TO the village
A brass band played in front of the ho-
tel and Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, having fin
ished supper, received number of people
on the hotel plaza. There were cheers
when the silver candidate came TO the
front of the balcony to speak. He was
frequently interrupted with applause, his
speech being practically an appeal for
thoughtful consideration and n free use of
the ballot according to conscience.

The Dumping Ground Ready.

The new public dumping ground near the
Indian Ridge cOlliery has been thrown open
to teamsters. The fence was completed
yesterday. 1t consists of posts eight feet
high placed eight feet apart with one-inch
steel wire stretched from one to another.
Several signs have been put up at the grounds
giving notice that persons dumping refuse
within twenty feet of the fence on the inside
will be subject to a fine. The dump at the
west end Of Lloyd street has been abandoned.
The original intention was to allow only
clean refuse to be dumped at this place and
thus gradually extended the street, but many
teamsters have abused the privilege by cart
ing all kinds Of refuse to the place and it has
become necessary to stop the dumping to
avoid the creation of a nuisance to the resi-
dents in that part of the town.

MADE A WINNING RALLY. =,

When They Were Needed.

washington punched Their Hits
When They Were Needed.
Judging from the last four games, it
would seem advisable for those persons
who are interested in witnessing the Wash
1ngton club win at base ball to remain
away until, say, the eighth inning. Never
more do the fans arise en- masse at the
opening Of the seventh and turn around
three times for luck; the voodooism has
been shifted to the ninth.
Again yesterday did Washington make a
Garrison finish, batting out no less than
eight hits in the last two innings and easily
winning the game, although the score at
the conclusion Of the seventh was 5 to 3 in
favor of the Colonies, and the home team
had not safely connected with the delivery
OF four straight innings Five hits in the
eighth netted three runs, while three addi-
tlonal drives In the NINTH coupled with two
deliberate bases on balls. increased Wash
lngton's total by four
Rain was falling gently when Umpire
Emslie called play" but Washington went
rlsht at It, and scored two runs on a couple
or hits and two bases on balls. 1t was the
general opinion that at least three or four
more runs should have been secured at the
opening. In their half Louisville promptly
tied the score. Washington got in another
man In the third, but the visitors evened
eHiHts up IN the SIKH, and in the seventh
moved two PAGES to the front. Then the
home team awakened in the manner de-
Scribed.
McDermott pitched a good game until
the eighth. He struck out four Senator's
but gave seven bases on balls. King was
touched up for ten safe hits, but had it not

dition of the ball, the record of both Twill
ers would undoubtedly have been better

ture work at third base. Otherwise the
game was devoid of special interest except

THE SLACK CASE.
The Mother Takes Steps to Secure the
Children,

Relying upon the decision of the Court OF
Appeals rendered Tuesday last which was
fully reported in The Star, Mrs Mary
kemble Slack has petitioned Judge Nc
Comas to turn over to her the children for
whose possession she has so long fought
in the courts, here and in New Jersey
The Court of Appeals, it will be remem-
bered, held that the decision of the chanc-
cry court of New Jersey, awarding the
CUSTODY Of the children to Mrs Slack. is
binding upon the courts of this jurisdiction,
and that they must, therefore be delivered
over to their mother. Mrs. Slack. there

Perrine, TIE aunt and testamentary guar
dian of the little girls, to at once transfer
their custody to her. pending any future
proceedings which may be taken by Mrs.
Perrine.
The motion was presented to Judge Nc
Comas this morning, and at the request Of
Mr. Geo. L. Hamilton, representing Mrs
Slack, the judge set the motion down for a
nearing before him at l o'clock tomorrow
afternoon, because of the engagement of
