BASE BALL LEAGUE.
Many Faces Familiar to the Clans"
Showed Up Yesterday.

Philadelphia, Nov 9.-The annual
meeting of the National Baseball league
was opened late this afternoon.
The Hobbies of the Hotel Walton
showed many faces familiar to the
fans on the active field of battle
With the advent of players the rumors
of deals began to grow thicker, and
some of them were well founded.
Among the deals generally credited is
one placing Catcher Grady Of st. Louis
with the New York team. 1t is ru-
mored that the Boston triumyirate de-
sires to secure Catcher Clements of
Philadelphia. There is also talk of a
deal of some sort between Washington
and Philadelphia.
President Young was authorized to
establish an office in the business sec
ton Of Washington for the transaction
of league business, and the Boston club
was officially awarded the champion
ship of 1897
The change in the drafting rules does
not prevent the purchase of any minor
league player by a national league club
through mutual agreement of the clubs
interested, and transfers from the minor
to the major league Through purchase
or trades can at any time be made as
heretofore. An amendment to the
drafting clause was also recommended
to grant permission to the national
league clubs to loan a player to a mi
nor league club with the understand
ing that the player can be recalled on
80 days notice.

London, Nov. "a letter received

Austrian empire convey no idea of the
chaos prevailing. "Bedeni must go" is
the general warcry now and his down
fall is considered inevitable regardless
Of the outcome of the fight between the
Germans and the Gees. The letter
adds: mo one can foresee how it will
end. If the Germans win there may
be bloodshed in Bohemia, and if the
Bohemians are persistent, the Germans
will have to fight with their sharpest
weapons to assert their prerogative
and save the Austro-Hungarian
duality. The danger, however, lies in
the active participation in the fight by
the Germans over the border. There is
actually a small party in the Reichs-
rath which openly declares for Prussia
and wants to see the former German
province Of Bohemia handed to the
HohenzOllerns."

A HARD LUCK STORY.
Ben Ferrer, of Sandy, in the County
Jail.


Jail.
Those who criticize Judge Wengar
for giving long terms of imprisonment
to tramps and disturbers of the peace
may rest assured that he is very lem
lent compared with some of our coun-
try justices. Here is a case in point:
About six or eight weeks ago, Mr.
Ben +. Ferrer of Sandy aged So years,
had a little trouble with his sister-in-
law, Harriet Ferrer, of the same place.
The two families, although they live
adjoining each other. are not the best
of friends, and have their share of fam
lily quarrelS. To add to the fun this
time, the old gentleman had bit of a
jag on" and consequently did not use
the choicest language in addressing his
fair antagonist. Whether he started
the row or not is a matter of mere
conjecture. He claims he was out in
the garden pulling onions when she
came over and upbraided him for quar-
reling with his wife some time before.
He resented this and drove her away.
In the course of time a warrant was
sworn out against Mr.. Ferrer, and he
was arrested and charged with drunk
enness and chasing his neiShbors with
a knife. Ferrer claims he had no knife
about him, but as this was in Sandy,
that doesn't matter. In the court,
which Ferrer's son-in-law claims was
of the kangaroo order, it was proven
otherwise.
After all the evidence was in the
judge sOlemnly reviewed the case, and
with all the dignity he could command
told the prisoner that if he could scrape
up 1000 to deposit as an incentive for
his keeping the peace in the future he
would be released. If not, he would be
the guest Of the county and reside in
Sheriff Lewis mansion for six months
from date. As Ferrer had no money,
he was forced to accept the latter al
tentative, and is now in the county Jail
with little over five months of his
| term yet to serve.
| A son-in-laW of F'errer's called al the
| county attorneys Office the other day
and enlisted the sympathies of Gra-
| ham Putnam, Van Colts assistant.
Putnam promises to do all he can to
have the sentence cut in half. and
doubtless he will succeed. Meanwhile
/ We await developments.
Ferrer is said 10 have borne a. good
reputation in the past. except that ne
| likes "a bit Of the cratur' now and
then. This is the first time he has
{ been arrested.

appeared, and the officers are now look

For Prohibitory Legislation.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Alderman Platke will
introduce at special meeting of the city
council called for this afternoon a meas
ure to prohibit the playing of football
anywhere within the limits of the city

introduce it? Because it is an inhuman
game-a game that should have been
stopped long ago SOMEBODY gets 'hurt
played, and many have been killed. 1t i
40 times worse than prize fighting. I'd
rather see a prize fight any day than a

possibly pass it. 1t would cause con
sternation among the lovers of foot ball,

DEATH OF REAR ADMIRAL RHIND
WON HIS RENoWN AT sToRM-
ING OF FORT FISHER.
Engaged in One of the Most Perilous
Adventures Ever Undertaken
Recommended for Promotion by
Porter.

New York, Nov. 9.-Rear Admiral
Alexander Golden Rhind, U. S. N, is
dead at his home in this city. He had
been confined to his bed for five weeks.
Admiral Rhind was born in this city
on Oct. 81, 1921, his father being a
prominent ship owner in those days,
who afterward became distinguished in
the diplomatic service Of his country
as plenipotentiary to Constantlnople IN
1927.
After receiving an education in this
city the future admiral entered the
navy as a midsihipnlan in 1883, recelv-
ing his appointment from Alabama.
He became a lieutenant on March It,
1854, and at the breaking out OF the
civil war was in command OF the
steamer Crusader of the South Allan
tic blockade squadron.
He performed operations in Edlsto
sound for which he received the thanks
of the navy department, and was IN
command of the heOkuk during the
attack on Charleston, April Z, 1868,
when he ran his ship to within 800 feet
of the walls of Fort Sumter, drawing
the fire of all the forts upon her. Sne
was struck 80 times in 80 minutes and
10 shots hit her below the water Line.
She fioated during the night, but sank
early the following morning, but all
hands were saved.
Through the next year Commander
Rhind was in James river ASSISTING
General Grant, and he commanded
several vessels, among them being the
Paul Jones and the Wabash. 1t was
at the attack on Fort Fisher, however,
that he won his greatest renoWn. AS
sisted by Lieutenant Preston ana a
volunteer crew from his own ship, he
commanded the Louisiana, which,
loaded with 215 tons of gin powder
and bombs, set to explode by CLOCK
work. was towed close to the fort. The
officers and men were taken off by
the steamer Wilderness. The powder
boat blew up as expected, but did lit
tie injury to the fort. This operation
was suggested by Benjamin F. Butler,
and Admiral Porter, who detailed the
officers, in his report said: Com
mander Rhind and Lieutenant Preston
engaged in the most perilous adven-
ture that was perhaps ever under
taken AS an incentive to others
! beg leave to recommend them for pro
motion. None in the squadron con-
sidered that their lives would be saved,
and Commander Rhind and Lieutenant
| Preston had made arrangements to
sacrifice themselves in case the vessel
was boarded, thing likely to happen.
! At the close of the war CaptaiE
! Rhind served on the Congress for a
| time, was lighthouse inspector in 1865.
when he was commissioned commo-
dore: was president OF the board Of
inspectors in 1852, and on Oct. 80

and was retired the following day
