of the Kew York ball club, talks about the Brotherhood. No Pittsburg players hare signed a Brotherhood Vr contract There was some interesting shoot ing at JJtaver. The running races -were interesting. The Pittsburg Cricket Club has definitely closed its season of 15S9, and the averages of the "players for the season were completed yesterday by Mr. A.

"Macpherson. These records contain some very interesting features, but it is not known how they will compare with those of the other clubs in the United States. They will, however, be forwarded Bast to-day, and will find a place in the "Cricketer's Annual for America." The batting averages show that there has been quite a struggle for first place, but, as In previous years, Messrs. Penn and Macpherson are at the top, almost a tie. iounc Mr.

Schwartz, however, has kept the two leaders extremely busy, as the figures will show. His playing during the season has been watched with considerable interest by those interested in the old game, fie is, undoubtedly, a prom-' isiog young player. Barrows, the professional, does not show up very well in the batting table, bnt he tops the list among the bowlers. KEW MATCHES PLATED. The club has fallen considerably short during the season in the number of matches played as compared with former years.

There were various-causes for this, the principal being the failure of other clubs to make engagements and also the unfavorable weather. However, the games played by the club were victories, the two chief ones being the defeat of the Bel-monts, of Philadelphia, ana the Peninsular Club, of Detroit. Messrs. Penn, Macpherson and Pyatt have been in great demand by other clubs daring the season, which coes to show that their abilities are recognized by patrons of the came both Bast and West and also in Canada. Wherever these gentlemen have played they have done good work and.

contributed considerably to the victories won. Following are the averages: BATTING AVERAGES. a E. cB ss a a 7777 si 1 1 S3 3 3 15 1 48 2 21 3 1 30 2 116 2 8 1 3 3 15 Kaxxs. iH.

Macpherson said: "There are more cricket players in and about Pittsburg now than there ever were since I knew the locality. The players are not only more numerous, bnt they are better players than we have ever had. I feel continent that we we'll get the best team in the country together here next season. All that we require is to have more practice and I think we will sncceed next season In having that shortcoming remedied. Most certainly we will hareunorejocal games than we have had previously dnnng a season, and it is safe to say we'll nave better attractions.

It is probable that there will he some prominent foreign teams here. The past season has not been a bad one for ns financially. Of course we have not figured up the accounts yet, but we are all right. The fact is, however, that we don't play for financial gain. In many cases we pay our own expenses.

Burrows, our professional, has been very satisfactory to ns and there is no reason to think he won't be with ns next season. He is a very painstaking gentleman and a good cricket player." O'EOURKE'S rOIMEE. He Intimates About ifae Results of the Brotherhood Sleeting. KraCIAX. TZLXOKAX TO TBS DISPATCH.

1 Nbw York, October 3L The sole topic among baseball men at present is the Brotherhood scheme. The New York players have scattered around the country, and the only one that could be seen to-day was Jim O'Rourke, the New York delecate to the Brotherhood meeting on next Monday. O'Conrke, in his talk, intimated that the writers who have said the least about this great Brotherhood scheme are going to come out ahead, even if the trouble does resnlt in a new league. As Jim walked away, he said: "Yon come np to the Fifth Avenue Hotel next Monday and everything will be made plain." The coming Brotherhood meeting promises to be one of the biggest meetings of the baseball men that has ever been held. About every baseball player now under reservation to a League club will be on hand, and although none bnt delegates will be allowed to vote, the advice of the outside players will be asked in many cases.

In addition to the large number of League players that will be on hand there will be hundreds of American Association and minor league men about to learn the first news from the meeting. It was reported to-day that if the Brotherhood coes so Car as to form a new league and places a club in Brooklyn, that the infield of that club will be Brines, first base: Glasscock, shortstop; Ward, second base, and lenny, third base. The managers of the League are hustling ijnst now in order that tbey may be in position to fight any movement that the Brotherhood may make. Letters and telegrams are flying about by hundreds and a combination is being formed by the League men, whereby they will, it is said, black list any and all players that are in any break that may be made. THEX HAVEN'T SIGNED.

No Brotherhood Contract Issned to the Player Yet. The Dispatch is authorized to state defl-finitelytbat not a player of the local club has Ji signed anything like a Brotherhood contract Vyet -A player, speaking on this matter yesterday afternoon to the writer, said: "On my honor I tell yon that I have siened no contract to play in a Brotherhood team, and I also know that no other FlttsDnrg player has. St This Is absolutely correct. Furthermore I don't think that any player in the country has signed a Brotherhood contract, simply because none havo been issued. We don't know what will be done until the meetines are over.

One thine I know is that our agitation has caused the League magnates to listen to us." Ths above statement relating to the Brother. fft hood contract can be accepted as being abso lutely correct, snows couciusiTeiy mat ail the stories which have been current to the effect that the League players have signed to play In a new organization is entirely untrue.

THE BIG REGATTA. Big Prizes to Be Offered for Bis Sculling Races. New York, October 3L Admirers of sculling who are desirous of having Champion Bearle come to America and row against O'Connor, Teemer, Gaudanr and other fast men, will be pleased to learn that "inducements" to bring the Clarence river man here are to be made. Richard K. Fox has decided that the World's Fair International Regatta for 1892 is a fixture.

It is at present too far on" to explicitly or definitely state the number of races or the amount of money that will be offered, but Fox will offer to the contestants a larger sum than has ever been offered either in this country or in England or Australia. It is also settled that medals will be given to the victorious oarsmen in each of the races, independent of the big money prises. The races wifl comprise, probably: A single-scull race, three miles with a torn, open to all oarsmen in the world: a single-scull race, open only to oarsmen who have never held the championship: a pair-oared race for the championship of the world, open to all comers; international four-oared race, open only to collegiate crews; international four-oared race, open to all prof esslon-al crews in the world. THE BEATER SHOOT. Plttsburgers Loom Op and Take Some Good Prizes.

Beaver Falls, October 3L The first annual tournament of the Beaver Falls Sportsman's Association took place at Geneva Park, this place, to-day. Quite a large number of visitors were here from different cities, and much interest was taken in the various events. The rain, however, interfered somewhat. The ol lowing matches were shot in the 10 single bine rock match: J. P.

Peacock, of Syracuse. N. took first prize with 10 bine rocks straight. In the 10-sparrow match Charles Richardson, of Pittsburg, took first money with 9 birds. Elmer Sbaner won the live bear with 14 out of 15 blue rocks.

In the match with live pigeons. Peacock, of Syracuse; E. Shaner, of Pittsburg, and Q. A. McClnre, of McKeesport, divided first money on 7 birds straight.

An extra live bird match was shot with 10 birds and 13 ties. John Hunter, of Beaver Falls, and Q. A. McClnre, of McKeesport, divided first money with 10 straight birds. The tournament will continue to-morrow, and it is expected that a much larger crowd will be in attendance.

Blade a Good Set-To. Harry Bryant and Billy Davis gave an excellent exhibition of sparring on the Southside last eveninc, in presence of a good number of patrons of the manly art. Neither of the boxers has reached 20 years of age yet. and tbey are, indeed, two handy little fellows. They are cvenlv matched, and their activity shows they have had a good tutor.

IN THE SADDLE AGAIN. Virginia Democrats Have Been Ordered to Take Their Revolver Alans Election Day An Alleged Slahone Scheme to be Frustrated.

(ETXCIAL TXXIQBA1C TO THE Richmond, October 31. A stranger in any of the Virginia cities would imagine from the appearance of the streets that the people were not disturbed about the election, and yet the present canvass has more thoroughly wrought up the people than any since the war. For the first time the white ladies of the cities are taking a hand, and they have inaugurated a movement to get up nice snacks for the men on duty at the polls. The picturesque cavalrv rides which gave Governor Fitzhugh Lee's canvass such success and fame have indeed been wanting, but the Democrats are engaged as well, thongh in a different way. The Democratic State Committee to-dav telegraphed the following to every city and town in the Commonwealth: 3L Trustworthy information has reached the Democratic State Committee as follows: "Gentlemen I overheard some instructions given to some of Mabone's workers and think it best to let yo a know.

They are to pnt in so many extra ballots at the country voting places, and they are to have some fighting men on hand and have the votes counted or the whole vote thrown out, and this is to be done at all hazard in all of the large Democratic counties. These fighting men are to be on hand at small country places where farmers are the principal voters, and tbcv are supposed to let the vote be counted lather than have a fight, and these fighting men are Instructed to stand up and make demands of kind and threaten to die before they see the vote thrown out, and the farmer Judges of Elections are supposed to back down rather than stand firm. The Democrats everywhere must be On guard and defy intimidation to the uttermost. By order of the committee. W.

W. Scott, Basil B. Gobdoit, Secretary. Chairman. The meaning of this circular is that every Democrat who can master a revolver wifl have it convenient for use on election day, and when Hahone's fighting men attempt to carry out his programme they will be shot dead.

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, who was summoned in hot haste by Mahone to aid him, has caught some of Mahone's irritability of temper. To-day, in talking over the contests, he threatened that the national election bill would be passed as the outcome of the present Virginia canvass. He Had to Leave HI Business. ow Orleans Presbyterian. A session of a church in the Synod of Mississippi ten years ago elected an elder to go to synod.

The elder said he could not leave his business even till Saturday, and did not go. Just about the hour synod convened he fell from a stepladder and was so injured he had to be carried home on a litter. He found he was able to "leave his business" over ten days, and he put in most of the time suffering great pain. His Cariosity Wo Aroused. Kennebec Journal.

THE NOT A STRONG CASE Has let Been Hade Oat Against Senior Warden Beggs, of Camp 20. HIS BITTERNESS TOWARD CRONIN Is All Tlat Has Been Conclusively Proved by the State. DIRECT EVIDENCE AGAINST 0THEBS. Detective Conjhlln, in Particular, Is Deeply Entangled In the Plot. The State will be obliged to present stronger evidence against Senior "Warden Beggs to prove a conspiracy to murder, as nothing but his bitter enmity to Cronin has yet been shown.

Against Coughlin and others, however, the testimony is more direct, and shows that there was a previous attempt to take the doctor's life. ISrXCIAL TXLIOBAM TO TBI SISTATCK.1 Chicago, October 31. Senior Warden Beggs, who, it is claimed by the State, appointed the secret committee which virtually sealed the doom of Dr. Cronin, was again attacked by the prosecution to-day, but not in such a way as to prove anything criminal against him. The testimony came from William O'Keefe and Cornelius Flinn, who were in the Cronin faction of the Clan-na-Gael.

It merely proved that which Mr. Foster, the attorney for Beggs, does not attempt to deny and that is that the Senior Warden was an ardent admirer of Alexander Sullivan, and an opponent of the dead doctor, for the reason that the latter was waging war against the triangle composed of Sullivan, Feeley and Boland. The State has made a desperate attempt to accumulate evidence to show that Beggs was a bitter and merciless enemy of Dr. Cronin, that he denounced him in and ont of the camp, and that when the storm of February 8 burst in the den in the Northside Turner Hall he -was heart and hand in the motion to in vestigate the doctor for alleged treasonable conduct. MUST HAVE STEONOEB EVIDENCE.

Thus far, however, there has been no testimony introduced that. could possiblv be construed as implicating the Senior Warden in a conspiracy. Coughlin, Bnrke and O'Sullivan, whose mysterious conduct before and after the disappearance of Dr. Cronin is fortunately not concealed by ironclad oath and evasive answers of the Clan-na-Gael, are being more intimately associated with the plot as the State proceeds with its terrible recital of the case. The testimony against Coughlin to-day did not all come from the better element of society, but it went far to prove that the detective, while drawing a salary from the city, spent much of his time in saloons and in preaching against Dr.

Cronin. One night in March oi this year Coughlin, in a harangue over the approaching municipal election, declared that if a certain Catholic on theft orthside did not stop talking so much he would get the worst of it. He was then speaking to O'Sullivan in a saloon on East Chicago avenue. Bartender George Biley and James Quinn heard the threat. Mr.

Forrest, in his cross examination of these witnesses, tried to wipe out the IMPOETAN CE OF THIS TESTIMONY by drawing from the witnesses admissions that Catholicity played a prominent part in the municipal election, and that Coughlin's remarks on that night related solely to the political situation, and not to the affairs of the Clan-na-Gael. The State maintains that the prominent Mortnjide Catholic who talking so much about that time was Dr. Cronin. and that Coughlin's threat, whether made in the course of a political or a Clan-na-Gael discussion, showed the violent hatred the detective had for he doctor. Another broadside of testimonv against the big detective, the effect of which on the jury was merely speculative, came from, "Major" John W.

Sampson a self-confessed criminal and gambler, who swore that two years ago Coughlin approached him at La Salle avenue and Erie street with a proposition to lay in ambuscade near the Windsor Theater and slug Dr. Cronin as he returned home at night Sampson thought the contemplated crime too dangerous, but Coughlin being desirous the work should be done, and done well, sueeested that his comrade get another man to assist him in the slugging. During this interview wiinam Lynn, a friend of "Major" Sampson stood upon a corner on the opposite side of the street. Lynn testified to the meeting of Coughlin and Sampson. THE DEFENSE AT 'WTJEK.

Both witnesses were subjected to a merciless cross-examination by Mr. Forrest. Sampson was forced to admit having a most extraordinary criminal career, and possessing no visible means of support lie had been a shell worker, and was frequently arrested by Coughlin on charges of robbery and vagrancy. The witness denied, however, that he had been convicted on these charges, and declared, with much evidence of passion, that Coughlin's pursuit of him was in nature of persecution. The young man was intensely nervous, but he succeeded in rattling the cross-examiner for the prisoners, and provoking an outburst of applause, when in reply to a declaration by Mr.

Forrest that shell playing was a felony, he exclaimed that it was not murder, anvhow. Patrick McGarry. who occupied the chair at the time ot the adjournment last night, was the first witness. Mr. Donahne, ot counsel for the defense, moved to strike out all that part of McGarry's evidence given yesterday, in which McGarry described his visit to the honse of Defendant O'Sullivan after IDr.

Cronin's murder, and at which time he questioned O'Sullivan closely about his contract with Cronin. A long argument followed, and it was finally decided to postpone a decision on the point till afternoon, in order to allow counsel time to present authorities. THE JUEY EXCLUDED. When the court resumed its session the jury was excluded, and the matter of striking ont Witness McGarry's evidence as to what was said during his visit to O'Sulli van's house on the Sunday following the murder, was taken up. The Court finally decided to exclnde all of the evidence In the regard to a former attack on Dr.

Cronin. This was not satisfactory to the defense, and another flow of eloquence was the result Finally the cross-examination of McCarry was resumed. Joseph C. O'Keefe, Dr. Cronin's tailor, said he attended a meeting of Camp 20 in September, 1888.

Alter the meeting he had a conversation with defendant Beggs about Dr. Cronin and Alexander Sullivan; said the witness: "We were speaking first in reference to the union of the two rival factions of the order, and John F. Beggs said he did not, have much confidence in the new execntive that was elected. Then the trial committee came under discussion, and he said that Dr. Cronin was KOI THE PBOPEB MAN to put on the Trial Committee to try Alexander Sullivan.

I said Dr. Cronin did not have as unsavory a record as James Sogers, of Brooklyn, another one of the Trial Committee. John E. Beggs then told me that Dr. Cronin had admitted Coughlin as a member of Camp 96 without a formal initia-tiod, and bad furnished him with passwords.

I told him I did not believe it; I told him Cronip was too sincere a patriot to do anything of that kind. I told him furthermore that I would ask Cronin in relerence to it and give the authority, and then he said Cronin was not a fit man to belong to Irish societies." On cross-examination it was brought out that Beggs objected to -Cronin being on the committee to try the triangle, because he was aa enaay of Alejamdet SulliTfta, Cor- PITTSBURG DISPATCH. nelius Flynn, who was with Beggs and, O'Keefe when they had the above mentioned conversation, corroborated O'Keefe's testiifony.

Marshall, of the firm which controlled the renting of No. 117 Clark street, testified to that fact.

The court then adjourned till to-morrow. An afternoon paper says that soon after the disappearance or Dr. Cronin the State put spies upon Camp 20, and that a man was concealed in the ball during some of its meetings and took notes. THAT MISSING T7ITNEBS. Great Excitement In Peoria Becanse of the Disappearance of Spellmnn.

reriCIAL TKLZOBASt TO TUX DISrATCH.l Peobia, October 31. Ed Spell-man, the district delegate of the Clan-na-Gael, who is wanted as a witness in the Cronin case, is still missing, and his absence is creating no little excitement in this city among his friends, who have already begun to charge all sorts of things concerning his disappearance. Before Sheriff Matson left here last night he cave the Sheriff of this county the bench warrant which Judge McConnell issned for the Peorian. In case he turns up here he will be arrested, placed in jail and the Cook county authorities notified. Spell-man's disappearance is unaccountable.

He left here over two weeks ago for a flying trip to Cincinnati in the interest of the whisky trust, and when he had concluded his business in that place he informed his family bv mail that he was going farther East, and was not fully determined on his future movements. That was nearlv two weeks ago and nothing has been heard abont him since. His family is decidedly uneasy about him, especially since it is learned that he promised Jndge Longenecker that he would respond promptly to any telegram or other message informing him that his presence in Cook county was desired. Some of his most intimate personal friends assert that he was prevailed upon either by threats or entreaties to leave the city, and remain concealed until the end of the Cronin case." The letters which Begin wrote to Spellmar are in the hands of the prosecution as evidence. Great influence has been brought to bear on him of late, and he is said to have often regretted furnishing Judge Longenecker with the Beggs correspondence.

PBIS0HER GILLETTE'S ST0EI. He Assert! That Bnrke Told Him All Abont the Cronin Crime. Whtitipeo, October 3L To-day Assistant District Attorney Baker, of Chicago, and Lawyer Howell elicited entirely new and important information from Gillette, the fellow prisoner of the Cronin suspect, Martin Burke, while the latter was in jail. Gillette says Burke told him the plot had been to decoy Dr. Cronin from his house through and a woman.

Burke admitted that he was soft on this woman and she was also soft on Coughlin. Afterward Coughlin changed the plan and decoyed Cronin by means of O'Sullivan's business card. The woman in the case kept lodgings in Chicago on" North Clark street, near Chicago avenue. Burke said this woman had promised to marry him. As well as Gillette could remember Burke mentioned associates with himself in the affair, Coughlin, Cooney and O'Sullivan.

The intention was to sink the body in the lake, but a confederate who was to meet them with a boat failed to keep his appointment. Burke went twice to a lawyers office on Dearborn street, Chicago, and there got money for doing the job, so Gillette says. Tne clothes of Cronin were brought to Winnipeg by Burke and hidden in a house on Valentine street. Gillette was pressed to say whether Bnrke had ever, mentioned Alexander Sullivan. The prisoner said Burke had onee or twice referred to a lawyer named Sullivan.

AT LINCOLN'S TOMB. The Pan-Amerlcnn Delecate Visit the Grave of the Great Patriot One of Them Blaltesu Feeling Response to Gov. Oglesby'a Speech. SPBHrGFiELD, October 3L The Pan-American excursion arrived here today. After lunch the party went to Lincoln's tomb in Oak Bidge Cemetery.

There was among the Southern delegates a spirit almost of reverence as they ascended the steps to the terrace about the shaft. As was remarked by one of the Southern delegates, Lincoln's tomb seemed to him like a Mecca and the present pilgrimage could not have been complete without having led thither. As with a common impulse heads were bared as the party walked abont the monument. At length the party was gathered at the front of the monument upon a spot upon which the statue of Lincoln bent his gaze, and Senator Cnllom introduced ex-Governor Eichard J. Oglesby, who said that the visitors might be indulgent toward the people ol Illinois for giving expression upon almott all occasions to their deep sense of admiration and love for the great patriot, the great emancipator whose memory they honored to-day.

While ex-Governor Oglesby was speaking of Lincoln's life Bolet Peraza, who was to respond, stood within reach of his hand, and frequently his face paled and his eyes were dimmed by emotion aroused, and when 'the ex-Governor fervently asked, "Why should we not be friends?" Signor Peraza and others lifted their faces with ex pressions or approval and applauded warmly. General Bolet Peraza is a son-in-law of General Jose Gregorio Monagas, who was resident ot Venezuela in and made the slaves free at that time, and this fact was stated by Senator Culiom, who introduced him to the audience. General Peraza said: Gentlemen, do not be surprised by the contrast which my colleagues present to you at this solemn occasion in selecting the humblest orator to praise the greatest man of your country in the present century. They have not sought the merits of eloquence, but the circumstances ot opportunity. They have excused my deficiencies and only thought of my family associations with one of the liberated of our America, who, like you here, made slaves free and deserved the glory ot martyrdom.

It is not, then, my voice which speaks at this moment. It is the echo of a noble soul, who shares with your great man the immortality bestowed by the God ot Justice on the defenders of mankind. Fifteen free American nations join in this sanctuary to pay their homage to this tomb, which contains nothing but a handful of dust, all that in Abraham Lincoln belongs to death, as bis real mausoleum is In the heart of men. Our visit to this sacred monument is not a mere individual tribute, but a significant pilgrimage ot sovereign sister nations, which come here in the name of liberty, equality and fraternity, to satisfy their firm purpose of continuing the work of tbis great Northern leveier, unifying the interests of the entire America and consolidating her aspirations to the future, tearing down the traditional walls which rise in the natural way of ber industrial conveniences, leaving standing only the frontiers of the respective sovereignties built by natural respect THE LONE HIGHWITMAFS PLEA.

U. BtepaeawB. NOVEMBER NOISY jMLLOWEEN. The Youth of the Two Cities Tarn Out snd fJa7e a Joyful flight. TAFFY PULLINGS AND SOCIABLES.

Southside Terrors Mimic the Members of the Salvation Army. C0MPLAINT8 MADE TO THE POLICE. A Wite Colwell Street Citizen Greeted With a Shower cfJUailes. Halloween with its social customs, its rattle of pans and jingling if doorbells was observed last night by Young America. The bad boy had considerable amusement- to the chagrin of quiet people.

Halloween was celebrated all over the two cities last night. Hundreds of taxpayers will get up this morning and find a considerable quantity of their portable property missing. The wandering "tinker" will also have to be called in to repair disjointed door bells, which the boys made jingle. On the Southside the custom of making quiet people wish they were dead was en-loyed by the boys to its fullest extent. The little urchins took possession of the principal streets, and to say that they "painted the town red," or "made night ildeons," is not applying proper epithets to the manner in which they enjoyed themselves.

One crowd of street arabs had a wagon loaded with companions, who claimed, to be members of the Salvation Army, The wagon was drawn along Carson street, while the occupants sang and shouted. Another crowd on one of the back streets were dressed like firemen. They were pretending to be putting out fires in the buildings along the street. Here and there boys were found playing police. One boy would assault another, and then the manner in which the offender was "run in" would have more than done credit to Chief Brown's finest The boys had lots of fun, but so far as doing real damage they were very orderly.

THE BACKET OS THE U1IL. The residents of the hill were treated to an old-time country celebration. The boys paraded up and down Wylie avenue and all the side streets in the Seventh and Eighth wards, blowing large tin horns, beating disbpans and annoying merchants. The latter contributed a quantity of nuts to the night howlers, who scrambled in the street for them. The storekeepers who did not comply with the demands of the boys for nuts, received a shower of missiles and were given a dishpan serenade.

This, in many cases, had the effect of making the merchants "shell out." The usual pranks of pulling doorbeUs, taking away front steps and hanging gates on trees were indulged in. A well-known citizen of Colwell street took-off the handle of his doorbell. A number of young miscreants took, revenge by stoning the house. At the Newsboy's Home last evening. Halloween was celebrated in a jolly manner.

All the boys who attend the Sunday school, about 60 in number, gathered in the chapel at 8 o'clock. Superintendent Druitt and a few ladies and gentlemen who were present treated the lads to nuts, grapes, apples and sweet cake. There was an abundance for all, and the youngsters gorged themselves to repletion. Several jolly games were played. The greatest fun was found with the apples suspended by strings from the ceiling, which the boys tried to catch with their months.

The Home was visited yesterday afternoon by Messrs. Roberts and Sawyer, members of the State Board of Charities. They had not been in the house for two years. They expressed surprise and gratification at the many improvements visible, and highly praised the work which Mr. Druitt has been doing.

THE LOTUS' BLOWOUT. The Lotns Club, of the Southside, celebrated Halloween in their customary happy and enjoyable style. Tne members congregated at the elegant club rooms on Carson street, and spent the fore part of the evening in telling stories, eating nuts and partaking of refreshments of various kinds. At 12 o'clock the lights were extinguished and each member, under a heavy, not to give the "snap" entirely awa-, not a very pleasant penalty, told an original ghost story. The man who ventured to relate an old story was dealt with according to the laws governing the affair.

Dr. E. A. Wood, Dr. Gnndlach, Alderman McGeary, C.

H. Stolzenbach and ex-Register Hoerr( had especially prepared stories, and during the time they were being told real ghosts were supposed to appear in the room. The affair was exclusively for the members of the club, and. none others were admitted. Halloween was celebrated in good old-fashioned style in Lawrenceville.

The boys congregated before the various grocery stores, blowing unmusical horns until the Droonetors were forced to throw into the crowd bags ful or nuts and cakes, so that they wonld cease distracting the neighborhood with discordant noises. In this usually quiet district the people again discovered that the ubiquitous small boy is alive and kicking. When they passed out late at night from the kitchen into the back yard the distance between the floor of the apartment and the surface of the yard was considerably lengthened. Instead of putting their foot, as is their wonted practice, on the first platform of the steps, they found themselves rudely precipitated into, the yard below without any apologies. Prom the usual sedate householders a torrent of execration was poured on the youthful celebratorof Halloween.

The air was rent on one side with the indignations of annoyed proprietors of steps and rippled with the laughter of the youthful onlooker of their parents' discomfiture. The Allegheny Mayor's office was fairly besieged last night with indignant men and women, who called on Acting Chief of Police Murphy and wanted him to take squads of police and scatter boys who were making life miserable for them. The chief promised them speedy relief, and on their departure sat down in his chair, laughed till his sides ached and remarked: "This is Halloween; I was a boy once myself."

A Religion War Break Ont la an Interior Town The Millila Called Oat to Preserve the Peace Cause of the Trouble. Topeka, October 31. Adjutant General Roberts received a telegram to-day notifying him of a riot at Axtell, Marshall county.

The telegram was from the Mayor of the city, and asked that a detachment of militia be sent to quell the disturbance. The Adjutant General at once ordered out Company of the Third Regiment, located at Marysville, and left' on the first train for the scene of the trouble. As yet only meager particulars have been received. Axtell, a town of about 700 people, is settled largely by Catholics. On Wednesday a Methodist minister named Johnson, from the Eastern part of the State, arrived at Axtell to hold a revival meeting.

He had quite a large convention in the evening at the Methodist church, and in the audience were a number of Catholics. Soon after beginning he made an attack upon the Catholic Church. He became so abusive that one of the Catholics present called him a liar. He continued his remarks until the Catholics conld stand it no longer. Four of them rushed to pulpit, and taking the preacher by the collar threw him down.

In a moment the pulpit was surrounded by an angry mob, and a general melee resulted. Although the Catholics were in the minority, they were too much for the Methodists, and succeeded in throwing the Treacher and two others out of the house, he whole town was soon aroused. Four Catholics were arrested and put in the city prison. This so enraged the Catholic population that they organfzed to assist their imprisoned associates. The town of St.

Bridget, a few miles distant, is settled entirely by Catholics, and it is reported that the whole town is organizing to go to the rescue of Axtell Catholics. The Mayor says he is powerless to control the mob, and fears a conflict between the two elements. HABBISOA HAS A DEFESDEB. Senator HIseock Declare That the President Will Keep HI Pledses. israelii.

TXLXGEAM TO THE DISPATCH. I New Yobk, October 31. Senator HIi-cock was the principal speaker at a meeting of Republicans in the Brooklyn Academy of Music to-night. He defended President Harrison against the charge that he had not kept his pledge to observe the civil service law. He said that the removals made by the President were necessary because the preceding administration had filled the offices with incompetent men, whose salaries went to swell the corruption fund.

"A court is soon to convene," he said, "with power to investigate these things which I have charged: and when it shall have closed its investigation a volume will not be sufficient to contain the instances of corruption and malfeasance in office, of which the last administration was guilty. I have but feebly portrayed what will be divulged by this investigating committee." Speakingof the composition of the coming Congress, Senator Hiscock said: "Quite a proportion of it holds title to seats by fraud, violence or murder' A. W.

James P. Boot, late of Hyde Park, believes in bringing up children in the way they should go. "I know how it is myself," he said the other day, as he spoke of this matter. "Whenlwas a boy," he continued, "I had a most ravenous appetite, like all healthy beys. My dear mother was great on training and etiquette, and she had me at her afternoon teas.

Now, tea was a little light for me then and she knew it, so just before the tea she would quietly lead me back to the pantry and fill me up with milk pudding until I couldn't wink. Then I would participate in the afternoon tea. Of course, loaded as was, I could find no room for anything else, and when tne tea and cake came around I said: 'No, I thank "The ladies present would regard me with amazement and say: 'What a well-behaved boy!"

A novel libel suit has been brought in this county. The defendant is Dr. SayerM. Hasbrouck, the President oi the Rhode Island Yacht Club, and one of the best known homeopathists in New England. The plaintiff is Dr.

Charles M. Me-Knight, now ont of practice, and a relative oi ex-Governor Hoppin. He claims that his character and peace of mind has been damaged to the extent of 1100,000. It appears that Dr. McKnight has for some time been an honorary member of the New York Homeopathic Medical Society.

The secretary of the society sent a copy of this letter to Dr. McKnight, who claims to have suffered mentally and otherwise to the extent above named.

New York Son.1 "The 'word 'precious1 eaanot be applied to moonstones," said a well-Knowa dealer in jewelry, "because their marketable value is relatively small at all times, and it is still further influenced by the! decrees of fashion. For some years past we have had but few calls for moonstone, bat abont 12 months ago they were restored to popular favor, and will probably coaliase to be araekused for some time to eesse. The stones eeae from India, are easily preeared, tmi there Is hut little waste-la cmttkg.

Whea'carved, the clear transparency of the stone is of course marred, but many of them are so embellished, the man in the moon beiBga favorite device, and a baby's" face sarroaded.with a cap of pearls or'diamendraaother.

The moonstone is seldom worn alene by fashionable people, having usually an accompanying setting oi diamonds or other precious stones. In response to a question the dealer added "The largest mcoastonel haye ever seen was one of oblong shape abont 1 inches in length and ot an men in width. Thirwasset to represent a bmtter-fly with partially closed wings of brilliantly colored stones, and was intended to be worn aa a pendant. These stones are not valued by weight as others are, but simply by appearance and size, a perfectly round stone being more desirable than a flatter one and-morer are." As the moonstone is traditionally lucky it is most suitable for soaveairs, parting and anniversary gifts, and from present indications will be tench used for favors and wedding presents- daring the coming gay season.
