their desperation at the prospects of GER
tain defeat the Democrats to-day made an
other grand-stand play. Prosecuting At
torney H. c. Montgomery this afternoon in
stituted suit against County Clerk William
Goodwin to recover 5000 alleged to have
been retained without right. Under the new
fee and salary law the clerk is required to
charge a fee of 81 for each license issued.
Because of the great number of clippers who
secure marriage licenses here and desire an
official paper of some kind to evidence the
fact the clerk has printed at his own eX-
pense a autographed form, which he fills
out and for which he charges 81: 1t is not
obligatory on the person securing license
to purchase one of these. The document, in
no sense of the word, comes under the
meaning of the law defining certificates and
is not sworn to by. the clerk. The county
clerks for years back have issued these doc
uments TO clippers when wanted, and the
suit is merely for the purpose of having po-
litical effect on the coming election The
attorney failed to indorse it so as to get
it in issue the present term of court, know
ing that the suit would most probably be
dismissed and would not affect the. cleo
ton. Mr.. Goodwin is the best clerk the
county ever had. He has turned into the
treasury more money, over and above his
salary than any of his predecessors.

Won DER AHE KICKED OUT.
Franchise Taken from Him and Given
to Cleveland.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2.-The National League
has discussed and decided to apply a method
to improve the baseball situation in ST.
Louis. This determination, it is stated, will
result in the elimination of Chris Won der
Abe and all the interests allied with him in
the present organization and will give the
st. Louis franchise to Frank D. Robson, of
Cleveland who will transfer the~Cleveland
Club to this city bodily next year
The League holds that a franchise consists
merely Of the consent of the different clubs
to play with one another, and if eleven
clubs agree to withdraw this consent to
either play at home and abroad with
twelfth club the twelfth club has no re-
dress. Under this ruling a franchise is con-
sidered to be a thing of no tangible value,
and each so-called franchise or agreement
to play games. is the property Of the whole
League and rot of any individual baseball
club. This description of the value of a
franchise was advanced by John T. Brush
during his visit to this city last week dur
ing a discussion as to the fate of the st.
Louis Browns. Mr. Brush said that the
magnates feel the interests of the League
demands a championship team In st. Louis
and to bring this about they have deter
mined to withdraw their consent to play
with the present St. Louis club and transfer
it to Mr.. Robson and his Cleveland team
when they are located in st. Louis.

packed his grip Saturday night and went to
Cincinnati. That the deal is in such shape
that it requires no discussion between the
men is evidenced by the remark of Robson
that there is no need of a conference be-
tween Mr.. Brush and myself Among the
members Of the Cleveland team. however
there are several men who know where they
will play next year, and, as one of them said
to the writer yesterday. lit won't be in
Cleveland, either" One of the stars of the
Cleveland team has even been told that he
will wear an Indianapolis uniform next
year.
The slate made up for the indianapolis
team for next year among the players is
as follows: Clements and Criger catchers;
pitchers; Tucker, first base; Quinn, second
base; Allen, shortstop; Cross, third base;
Harley Stencil and Blake in the field and
Dowd, utility man.
1t is probable, however that another man
will be added to the list, if the reports from
New York are to be believed. In answer to
an inquiry from a New York paper yester-
day Mr.. Robson admitted that negotiations
were under way for the transfer of Amos
Rusie in exchange for Wallace and Bur-
kett 1t has been demonstrated to the sat
isfaction of all the metropolitan baseball
writer's and managers that Rusie will not
play his game under the direction of Freed
man. the president of the New York team
and the feeling is equally strong that he
will be a world beaten in some other team.
The inference is given that he will either
be sent to this city, where his drawing
powers would be immense, or else allowed
to go to ST Louis in exchange for some
other Cleveland pitcher.

WASHINGTON, Oct Arrangements
are making at the War Department to
bring to this country for interment the
bodies of all the soldiers of the army who
died in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philip

$500 900 for this purpose, and the execution

the quartermaster general of the army,
with instructions to spare no effort or ex-

contemplate the removal of the remains of
the soldiers buried in Cuba and Porto Rico,
as soon as the weather gets cold enough
to Justify such action. A ship will be fitted
up for the purpose.
