ing taken that one look at her, looked
no more, but bent their backs again
and worked on, with eyes and thoughts
very near to the earth. Hannah Wray
would give her horse the word and ride
back TO the town.

by Hannah Wray TO do odd jobs about

Jacob, sturdily.
But Market Wander said that she was
prouder than goose. For in all her
dealings she held herself aloof from Mark ct

hours about the barrows, lost on familiar

happened to be returning from her daily

door when the fog came down. Even SO
she missed her cottage twice.
She had stabbed her oIse, ana was gone
int o the house to prepare meal when she
heard the faint sound of a distant gun
Size stopped and caught her breath and
listened. The sound was not repeated, hut
presently there came TO her the muffled
muTmur Of a tolling bell. She ran to the
window and looked out. But it was all
white gloom, and she could see nothing
save the wet bushes under her window and
a few vague shadows beyond. She passed
from the window TO the door and lifted the
stiff latch. The cold damp air swept in,
chilling her face. She closed the door
again and went 10 the fire Her manner
was distracted, her movements sudden and

Nothing of a Sensational Nature at
the baltimore Meeting


Baltimore. Feb 25.-NOtwithStanding the
alarming rumors that have appeared from
time to time in reference TO a split i'll
the ranks of the men who control the ma
tional game, the opening session of the
regular spring meeting OF the National
League and American Association of Base
ball Clubs was harmonious in the extreme.
The magnates went into session at flotel
Rennert at l O'Clock, and for four hours
the twelve representatives OF the big
League" enjoyed what one or the number
characterized after adjournment as VERT
able love feast. Only once during the long
session was there an interrnisslon in the
proceedings. and then only long enough to
allow several of the members TO visit the
cafe for liquid refreshments.
After adjournment President Young
handed to the twenty or more newspaper
men who had waited around all afternoon
a brief statement of the proceedings.
The meeting was called to order at l is
D. M, Mr.. Soden, of Boston, presiding.
The minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved (Mr Young stated paren-
thetically that this was the first time in
twenty-five years that this action had
been taken in regard to bygone days.)
The secretary was instructed to send
printed copy of the minutes of the meeting
to each club as soon as possible after the
meeting adjourned. The committee ap-
pointed at the last meeting to ''devse

the report.
1t was a long document, and went into
the subject to the utmost detail. After the

reading of this voluninous document, mo-
ton was made that it lie on the table until
after the rules committee had presented
their report, and it was SO ordered. The
committee on telegraphic contracts then
went to bat. A long dissertation on the
iniquitiies of the various telegraphic and
ticker companies was laid before the
magnates. The committee recommended, in
brief, that telegraph companies be required
to cease the sending out over the ticker or
telegraph wires to their subscribers the
results (by innings) Of games in the home
city. This report was unanimously adopted,
end the meeting adjourned until II o clock
tomorrow forenoon.
Prior to the league meeting the board of
arbitration, composed of Messrs. Soden, OF
Boston, By rne, of Brooklyn; Brussel, of Gin
cinnati, and President Young had a three
hours session. "Only minor league mat
teTs of no general interest, were under
consideration" said Mr.. Young before
he hurried into the assembly hall
After the general meeting the suave and
gentle Uncle Nick 'yUuChsafedt the infOTma-
tion that these minor league affairs would
be made public betimes. The report Of the
rules committee viii have the call on the
attention of the magnateS tomorrow.
1t cannot be learned tonight with any
degree OF certainty just what viii be
done with Hanlons report on playing
rules, as presented by President Manager
Hanlon, the minds of bis brother magnates
being apparently in chaotic state ON
the matter.
After the rules committee have hecn
disposed of the schedule prepared by
President Young viii be taken up. 1t
is hoped that this important paper VIII
be ready to be given publicity tomorrow
afternoon
Aside from the rumors Of deals which
flew about the lobbes OF the hotel dur
ing the day. the McGunnigle- Louisville
case claimed the greater part of the at
tention of the magnates, managers and
players. Mr.. W. II. McGunnigle, who was
manager of the LoUisviIles during the major
portion OF last season, has claim or about
S2,700 against the management. He says
he had a contract for two years with the
president of the club, but that he was
unjustly deposed during the playing season
OF 1896 He hopes to recover the balance
OF last years salary and So 200 salary for
the coming season. 1t was expected that
the case would come up at today's meet
