Dick, was charged with being an ordinary thief. he is supposed to be the same bogus lord who appeared in this city as an alleged hotel beat some months ago, From here he went to some other place, and recently he appeared in New York city and was driven from there. He then turned up in Camden, N.J., with a letter of recommendation from St. George Kempson of Perth Amboy, N.J. Through the use of this letter he made a great many friends and October 5 he obtained three Smyrna rugs from G. B, Jackson of 94 Federal street.

Mr. Clagett said the government would not consent to such an arrangement and that the prisoner should consider himself fortunate that the plea had been taken. . The prisoner, when asked if he had anything to say. begged the mercy of the court, stating that he could not help firing the pistol when he did, for when he returned to the works the deceased got up with astone in one hand and arazor inthe other, and with his brothers ade athim. He took no aim and did not shoot to kill. Jones had previously threatened if he came back he would kill him. The court asked why ho took the pistol and why he went back. The prisoner—‘‘Mr. Tuttle had promised me work and I took the pistol to protect myself.” The chief justico then reviewed the case, say- ing that the prisoner had been convicted of murder, but owing to irregularities a new t had been granted. After reviowing the tes mony he said that he could not agree that he should be allowed to 34 atlarge.

As was generally expected, the result of the Players’ League meeting in placing three play- ers upon the base ball conference committee put a sudden stop to all proceedings of a con- ference. The National League conference committee, composed of six members, of which three came from the American Association, yesterday stood to a man by their agreement in the original conference of October 9. Mr. A. W. Thurman, jr, chairman of the confer- ence which met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York yesterday, refused to call the meet- ing to order until Irwin, Ward and Hanlon, the players’ representatives, left. Ward and’ Irwin each made an address as to why the players should be represented on the com- mittee, rd claimed that they had as much right as the capitalists, and then referred to the fact that Spalding and Barnie were ex-ball players, and that they should not be allowed to take part in any of the deliberations if the present delegation of brotherhood players were not. Allthis was listened to with respectful attention, notwithstanding the proceedings were of an informal character. Finally it was decided that they should re- tire, the conference should be called to order and the admission of the players should then be considered, THE PLAYERS EXCLUDED. Mr. Johnson at once moved, and it was seconded by E. B, Talcott, that in compliance with instructions from the Players’ League their delegation be increased from three mem- bers to six by the additio# of Ward, Irwin and Hanlon. This caused considerable discussion, and during the be apoged of the argumenta motion was made to adjourn, but it was finally withdrawn, The vote was finally taken on Johnson's motion, with the following result Yeas—Johnson, Tzicott and Goodwin, Nays— Thurman, Von der Abe, Barnie, Spaiding, Day, Byrne, WHAT THE CONFEREES 84) When the vote was announced the Players’ League delegates withdrew from the room and atdo'clock the conference was declared ad- journed subject to the call of the chair. Chairman Thurman made a statement to the Feporters after adjourument, which was in substance that the conference committee was organized with the understanding that there were to be three organizations represented, Mr, Johnson, in response to Mr. Thurman's statement, said that tho Players’ League thought itshould have an equal representa- tion in the conference, and as this was not allowed, the only thing was for them to with- raw. ‘The players themselves appeared to treat the matter unconcernedly, and, from their stan point. they believe that the Players’ League can cxist another year, A SIGNIFICANT CONTEST. A Gladstonian Returned to Parliament in the Eccles Election. One of the most significant and widely watched political contests in Eugland took place yesterday in the parliamentary election in the Eccles division of southeast Lancashire, Mr. Roby, the Gladstonian candidate, was re- turned by a vote of 4,901 to 4,696 for Mr. Eger- ton, conservative. The division was a con- servative stronghold. Mr. Egerton was very popular and the liberals hardly expected a vic- tory themselves. ‘Ihe contest was fought on the question of English misrule of Ireland, The London News says that the result of the Eccles election will make the demand for the dissolution of parhament louder than ever. The Chronicle says the election was fought on the eight hour and not on the Irish question, and that the resuit is a great triumph for the new unionism, The /ost says that when the real moment for a national sion is reached the double issue by which was won will be a very small item in the general result, The Zines admits that the result was due to the return of the Giadstonians to their alle- glance. coupled with Mr. Roby's acceptance of the eight hour and teetotal vote. The Standard says: “It is futile to deny that the resuit of the Eccles election disappoints the unionists. We regret that, although the conservatives maintained their ground, they failed to emulaty the Gladstonians in securing new votes.” ‘The result of the election was a genuine sur- prise to both parties. The interest in the con- test was intense and for several hours lasteven- ing thousands of persons crowded Flect street in London awaiting the announcement of the vote. When the news came the liberal clement, which greatly predominated, set up a tremen= dous cheer which was aguin and again taken up asthe fuil signiticance would force itself upon the minds of the delighted liberals, Mr. I the liberal candidate, was favored the temperance and the labor organi- zations, having declared himself for an cight- hour law, and also for local option as to licens- ing the sale of intoxicating liquors and against compensating pubiicans at the expense of the payers’ withdrawal of license, Tho Irish Vote iu the district, about 600 strong, also voted | Solidly for Roby.
