The JOURNAL has received the fol-
lowing letter:
FRosTBURG, MD, Sept. 10, 1888
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Last week there was game of baseball adj
vertised to be played here Saturday between
Frostburg and Midland-the third of the
series of three.
About o'clock Saturday morning, how
ever, a large contingent of Meyersdale players
arrived in town and many people thought
there must be a mistake in the announce
ment.
But we soon learned that manager Murphy
had concluded to combine Midland, Meyers
dale and Homecoming for this game in Order
if possible, to down the Frostburg club in
this, the last game of the series.
Manager Dillon should have put his foot
down on this arrangement and called the
game off, as the agreement was to play Mid
land, not a combination of Meyersdale Iona
coming and Midland. Several baseball pa.
irons approached the local manager and re-
quested him not to play the Murphy aggre-
CATION as made up, but the manager was de-
termined to sacrifice the club rather than the
money which would come in at the gate and
the game went on to disastrous result
Not only did the local manager allow this
man, Murphy, to select his team from all
over Allegany county and the adjoining
State of Pennsylvania, but he also permitted
him to hire two umpires of his own selection
from Homecoming.
This moves me, for one, to say that If Mr.
Dillon can't guard the interests of the Frost
burg base ball club any better than he did
in the game last Saturday, my advice to him
is to resign and give the management over to
someone who will have little say in the
games played here, and not let Murphy, or
any other manager, select umpires and play
ers and run the games to suit their clubs and
their adherents. A SPECTATOR
That is hardly fair to Manager
Dillon, even though he erred in prac-
tically gicing Murphy the decisive game
of the series. His was a mistake on
the side of good nature-that's all.

Discovered by WOman.-Another
great discovery has been made, and that, too,
by woman in this country. "Disease fas-
tened its clutches upon her and for seven
years she wthstood its severest tests but her
vital organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months she
coughed necessarily and could not sleep. She
finally discovered a way to recovery by pur-
chasing of us bottle of Or. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption and was so much
relieved on taking the first dose that she slept
all night; and with two bottles has been alb
solutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther

Herald from Washington says: In ad-
dition to the troops already ordered to
go to Cuba not later than Oct. 20, there
will follow four more divisions, three of
infantry and one of cavalry.
1t is the present plan of General Miles
that these troops shall all be landed
in Cuba by Nov. 10, though an official
said yesterday that he did not believe
the last would arrive before Dec. 1. The
first troop tos go will, it is expected,
witness the beginning of the evacua-
ton and they have been hurried for
ward because the evacuation Will begin
earlier than expected.
Headquarters of the three military
departments will be in Havana, Puerto
Principe and Santiago. 1t is apparently
settled that General Wade will be in
command of the department of Ha-
vana. General Eawton viii remain
where he is. as commander of the de-
partment of Santiago, and General Lee
will, it is thought, be in command of
the central division. The whole ques-
tion will be canvassed with General Lee
when he arrives here on Friday.
Cavalry will be under the command
of General Wheeler unless he resigns
to resume his seat in congress. The
cavalry will be scattered in detach-
ments at many points.
General Miles is now selecting troops
of the remaining divisions and it is eX
pected that they will be announced in
a few days.

WOOL EXCHANGE SUSPENDS.
Depression In the Wool Trade Is the
Cause.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The Herald says:
1t became known last night that the wool
exchange would today suspend operations.
1t was stated that this action was decided
upon at a meeting of the leading directors
held yesterday and that a notice would
b. issued today making public the de-
cision. Depression in the wool trade, IT
was said. would be given by the directors
as the cause of the cessation of business.
The wool exchange was established
about a year and half ago, with a cap
ital of $1.069,00c, chiefly through the ef-
forts of James MacNaughton, president of
the Tradesmen's S National bank. a hand
some ten-story building was erected at the
corner of West Broadway and Beach
streets. The object of the exchange was
TO provide a cooperative association OF
wool growers, wool dealers, woolen manu-
facturers, general merchants and for
warders, bankers and brokers and others
interested in the industry of producing or
manufacturing wool. The exchange was
TO bring the manufacturer and grower
together on terms of equality and fratern-
ity and mutual profit.
Auction sales have been held twice a
month for the benefit of members having
wool which they desired to put up for
competitive bidding The idea was to pro-
vide a quick and reliable method for the
distribution of surplus WOOL.
