STATE LEAGUE MEETING.
Baseball Magnates Held a Session at
 the Garde Last Night.

Baseball Magnates Held Session at
 the Garde Last Night.
 The directors of the State league met last night in the Garde hotel for the purpose of taking action on the ques- tion of the right of the Norwich club to play Jerry Denny. The meeting was a special one and all of the clubs with the exception of Norwich were repre- sented. The facts of the case were placed before the board and it was clear that Denny belongs to Norwich though at the beginning of the week that club had no right to play him. When the Derby club was sold to Scan- nell and Lawlor by Denny all the play CTS were included in the deal, and when shortly after, Denny jumped to Nor wich there was big kick on the part of Scannell and Lawlor. It was clear case of jump and so the Derby men notified Secretary O'Rourke and he in turn sent word to the Norwich manage ment that all games in which Denny figured would be cut out. Norwich played Denny in the game Monday and it was won by Norwich. That game was awarded last night to Meriden and the Norwich club was fined $l0 for play ing the former Derby captain. On Tuesday negotiations for the sale of Denny were opened between the man. agers of the Derby and Norwich clubs and satisfactory agreement was reached and Denny was sold to Nor wich on the payment of a good price, 1t is understood.
 The directors voted to have the game in New London on July between New London and Meriden played over. It will be remembered that there was a protest on the part of Meriden on the matter of the umpire, who called the game on account of darkness when the sun was out and the protest was sus- tained. The teams will play double header the next time they meet. A game played in Bristol between that team and Norwich in which the latter played a catcher by the name of Brennan was thrown out and will not
 
 fully belonged to Bristol and would not play there and getting an offer from Norwich played the game with that team instead. That was his first and , last game with the team.
 The question of the umpires was dis cussed at length by the directors. Two new men were appointed Michael De- herty, of this city, who played for Nor wich about three weeks this season, and Jackson Brady, an experienced umpire of Hartford. Brady has had e good deal of experience in that line and will doubtless make a good man. This makes the staff composed of the fol- | lowing: Shannon, Hamlin, Brady and Doherty. The meeting adjourned about 1 10 o'clock and the clubs were repre- sented as follows: New Haven, James F. Canavan; Bridgeport Jates H. l ORourke; Derby, Messrs, Scannell and Lawlor; Bristol, Messrs. Tracy and | Kennedy; Meriden, Tom Reilly; Water bury, George Harrington; New London, F. ! Cooney.

PROGRESS OF STEEL STRIKE

 was intimated that a plan is on foot for the formation of an advisory board for the purpose of aiding President Shaffer in carrying on the struggle, which will be composed of the presi- dents of the various trade organiza- tions with headquarters in Pittsburg. Such men as President Simons Burns, of the Window Glass Workers associa- ton; President John Kuhnzler of the Flint Glass Workers; National Secre tary James Pryall, of the Structural Iron Workers association; Patrick Do Ian, of the United States Mine Work CTS. and any others who can be brought together. This board would, it was ar gued, prove powerful factor in carry ing the weight of public opinion with the strike and perhaps give far more subst antial support to the organization now struggling, than by any other means. No one in the offices of the trust seems to expect any settlement Of the strike except by the destruction of the organization of the Amalgamated Association in all trust mille. It seems perfectly reasonable to the officials that this should be the result of the present difficulty and they look for no other. The whole plan of campaign will be one Of silence and no statement will be made by the officials of any kind. It is expected to keep the strik- CTS guessing all the time and not know ing where their lines are to be attack ed. It is said that the officials have re- ceived assurances from many of the men that they will return at the proper time and they could start several of their mills ie it was not for the desire OF their part to avoid any open rupt- ure or create riots or violence. They deny that there is any motive on their part to goad the men to acts which will give cause for calling on the mili- tia to guard property and allow non- union men to work in peace.
 A rumor was current to-day that President Shaffer was to leave Pitts

 President Shaffer denied this and said he would not go away, put would be in Pittsburg for the rest of the week. He said he might go to Newcastle on Friday night to address meeting or the strikers there. Tomorrow night he will speak to the men, in Lawrence vile and on Saturday he is billed to speak to the mass meeting at the Amal- gamated picnic in Mckeesport It IS intimated that President Gompers, of the American Federation Of Labor, Will be among the speakers at the meeting.
 An unsuccessful attempt was made this morning to start the eight-inch mill at the Lindsay and McCutcheon plant of the United States Steel coz poration in Allegheny. Fires were lighted on Tuesday night but not enough men appeared to run the mill. It is stated another attempt will be made to start the mill in the morning. Twenty men are expected to go into the finishing mill at o'clock in the morning. The strikers seem indifferent and say the mill cannot be run sue cessfully by the new men. None or the old men will return as the big maJor- ity of them have secured work in lnde" pendent plants elsewhere.
 It is said tonight that emissaries or the company are out trying to secure enough for two crews to start the Painter mill at an early date.
 No attempt to start tomorrow Will be made

MR oARNEGIE,S DONATION.
Committee to Go to the Monument Fund.

 Committee to Go to the Monument
 Fund.
 The Cornelius S. Bushnell Memorial association is greatly pleased by the re- ceipt of a check for $1,000 from Andrew Carnegie, which donation arrived here yesterday to the care of William s. Wells in reply to letter recently writ ten by MT. Wells at the suggestion of the executive committee of the Bush nell Memorial association. .Mr, Bush nell was well known by Mir. Carnegie, for at one time they had close business relations, and this gift to the memorial fund is a practical illustration that those amicable relations are not forgot ten. The gift, however, is in recogni- tion of the great service that MT. Bush nell rendered this country in persuading the government to consent to the con- struction of the celebrated Monitor, which vanquished the Confederate Mer- rimac in the memorable battle at Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862.
 The check for $1,0O0 was handed yes- terday to the New Haven Trust compa- ny, which company is the treasurer Of the memorial fund. It is to be hoped by the Bushnell memorial committee that this contribution of Mir. Carnegie will stimulate further donations from patriotic citizens, as several more thou sand dollars are needed before the com nittee can carry out its plans for the memorial. Contributions may be sent to the New Haven Trust company, T. Attwater Barnes president.

OLD DRAWYER'S CHURCH

!
Last Sunday witnessed the gathering
from far and near Of the Friends Of Old
Drawers" to their annual reunion.
There we're many present from all parts
Of the county. Never in the history d
this house of worship Las tAese laen 1
larger gathering b ] thai oi Ssaius y, and
to the careful observer it is quite evident
that these annual meetings are becoming
more interesting each year The services
were announced by DIR. Yallandigham,
OF Newark, assisted by the Rev. f. H.
Moore, D. D., of this town. The sermon
was preached by the Rev. w. V. Louder
bough, d. d., of Salem, N. j.. and was a
very able discourse.
In-the afternoon Friends of Old Draw
| yer's,' held memorial service IN menl-
ory of the late Lewis C. Vandergrift who
was president of the association, who de-
parted this life July 31st, 1900. Mr..
vandegrift had done much toward the
preservation of this ancient structure,
and his loss to the organization leaves a
vacancy that will be hard to fill.
Chief Justice Chas. B. Lore was intro
duced to the audience and his address
was listened to with interest by the large
congregation. His tribute to the late
Lewis c. Vandegrift was fine one.
One Of Delaware's most ancient places
of worship is OLD Drawyer's Church
standing on a little knoll on the road
leading from Odessa to McDonough. The
ancient style of architecture, the high
old fashioned pulpit, the high backed
pews and galleries give it proper dis
tinction as an object worthy of reverence
of its great age as well as for the historic
associations that cluster around it annu-
ally.
Surrounded by the graves OF the gener-
ations who worshipped within its walls
when dense forests covered the land, and
the early settlers struggled to found a
place of worship in this community, and
the hardships and sacrifices they made
stands as a memorial to-day. The first
Church in this site known to history was
little frame structure erected in the
year of I'LL, the present building was
erected in 1773 and is Of brick. 1t is a
staunch and strong old building, having
withstood the storms for more than a
century and quarter, and still preserves
its original appearance. Since the or
ganization of the society Friends of
Old Drawers" this ancient structure
has been kept in excellent repair.
It is the parent Church from which
all the other Presbyterian Churches in
this section have sprung, the Church at
St. Georges in 1742 and Forest Church
this town in 1850, the Church at Port
Penn in 1888. The second Drawyer's
Church in Odessa is the mother Church
last born.

the morning. The exercises will begin

quest all parents who wish their children
baptized to have them at the church
promptly at 1880, with the name of the
child, date of birth, and full names of
the parents plainly written on paper, to

time and prevent confusion. In the
evening the Senior Department will have
charge. A splendid program is being
rehearsed for the occasion. The offering
at all the services will be for the benefit
of the Wilmington Conference Academy.
