Ouicago, Nov. 12—Pictures of Spies, Par- sons, Engel, Fisher and Lingg constituted the background of the platform at Cavalry Armory last evening. A red sash was hung partly over the pictures, black and white drapery sur- rounded them agd around all two huge Ameri- can fings wete folded. It was the third anni- versary of the execution of the anarchists, whose eccupied the place of honor. About seven hundred men and a few women had met to commemorate the event, It was a very tame affair. The principal er was Moritz Schultze, a printer from iow York. He expressed the opinion that the Hagmecsoh wreting. i Ma: fhe a iv a peaceable one, wi e police had no le; right to disperse, and whith was dis) ur — to the orders of Mayor Harrison.

CHANGING PLAYING RULES, The League and Association Joint Com- mittee in Session. New York, Nov. 12,—The report of Secretary Young to the National Base Ball League was the first business which came before the board of directors today. After it was approved Mr. Young was elected to succeed himself as secre- tary for another year. The board then formally awarded the championship of the league for 1890 to the Brooklyn club, which had won the largest per- centage of games during the season, Subsequent to the adjournment of the board of direction the joint committee on playing rules, with Messrs, Day, Spalding and Rogers of the league and Managers Powers and Barnie of the American Association, were together for an hour, during ‘which period they altered secions 1, 2 and 3of article 28 and section 6 of article 48. The three fer- mer sections gives a club the privilege of hav- ing one or ail its surplus men on thb players’ bench in uniform, and allows the substitution of any or all of them at any time during a game. This rule takes the place of the one formerly providing that only ten men sbalibe in uniform. If # player is retired from the game he can not be replaced. The change in rule 48 does not call for the retirement of » player in running from the home plate to first base on a hit if he goes out- side of the three-foot line while the ball is be- ing fielded to first base as heretofore. At 12:30 o'clock the regular league meeting was called to order. During the session re- ports from committees will be heard and plans adopted to fill the vacancy in the league caused by the selling Dut to the Players’ League of the Cincinnati club. Director Palmer O'Neill of Pittsburg, in dis- cussing the possibility of the consoli the Players’ League and the association, that in such an event the latter, asa national agreement organization, would ‘have to sur- render all the players to the league who were with that body before the revolt. THR PLAYERS’ FAVOR CONSOLIDATION. Prrrspvro, Pa., Nov. 12.—At the session of the National Players’ League in this city today President McAlpin finally presented the resig- nation of the New York club. An opinion from Judge Bacon of New York was then read to tho effect that at the time the agreement was entered into between the New York York Players’ League Club and the Na- tional League Club of the same city it was un- derstood that tho two leagues were to consoli- date. As this had not yet taken place the agreement between the New York clubs would not stand. No action was taken on the resignation and a committee consisting of Ward, Prince and Johnson were appointed to attend the National League meeting now in session in New York for the purpose of placing the matter of con- solidation before them. The committee will leave tonight for New York. The Players’ League Club of this city was not represented at foday’s meeting and the matter of Pittsburg’s resignation was laid on the table. The meeting then adjourned to as- semble at the calt of the chairman, As the matter now stands the feeling is strongly in favor of consolidation, as all admit that the base ball war has been a failure. nee TWO YEARS HENCE. What the Farmers’ Alliance Proposes To Do in 1892. Cuicaco, Nov. 12.—A dispatch from Kansas City, Mo., says: In its issue of this week the Farmers’ Advocate, official paper of the Farm- ers’ Alliance or people's party of Kansas, has the following to say of the future of the party: “We shall at once commence to marshal the hosts of the people for the conflict of 1892. In this great work there are many prejudices to be overcome. Sectional lines must be abol- ished. Interests which are identical must be brought together, the combined forces of the agricultural and laboring classes must be consolidated against the forces of the corpora- tions, monopolies, trusts, syndicates and monied aristocrats, who have for years feasted upon the substance of the people. When we say these forces are to be marshaled against the oppressors of the people, we do not mean that the injustice which has characterized the cor- orate power of America is to be returned in Kina.

The interests of the people of the west and south are identical and their litical forces must be consolidated against the power of ¢orporate greed. We may as well recognize this fact now as to permit our prejudices to je the day of its recog- nition, The professional politicians of both parties, both north and south, who have de- voted their lives s@ assiduously to the promo- tion of corporate interests, recognize that this union of the two sections is the great danger that threatens the power of monopoly, and they, therefore. constantly aim to keep alive the prejudices that have estranged them only to prey upon them andto maintain political supremacy by their alienation.

Struck bya Train While Walking the Track at Night. Mamanoxeck, N.Y., Nov. 12.—At 6 o'clock | this morning while one of the track men on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad was walking slong the track near here he saw the body of a well-dressed man lying in the gully at the side of the track, He went over to the man and nudged him on the shoulder. He did not stir. He was dead. Closer examination showed that he had been struck bya train and instantly killed. The body was taken to the city, where it was quickly recognized as that of Mr. James 8.

Mr. Goodwin was eepioyed as a cartoonist on Puck, He was forty-five years old and resided in Mamaroneck with his family. ‘The presumption is that he came home on the theater train last night and while walking along the track to his home, taking a short cut, was struck by another train and killed, ao FOUR YEARS FOR MURDER, End of a Trial of Considerable Inter- est in Illinois. ~ Sycamore, Int., Nov. 12.—For several days the DeKalb county circuit court has been busy with the murder case of Chris Actorfeldt, who killed Mrs. Fredericka Stohl near New Leba- non, December 17, 1889. Actorfeldt confessed the butchery by saying he went to Mrs. Stohl’s, called her a short distance from the house and asked her to promise to cease making trouble forhim. She would not promise, so he threw her to the ground, slashed her across the throat with a razor and left her there, where she was found the next morning. She lived until January 6. His de- fense was that he did the deed in self defense, fearing that she might do him and his family some injury. The jury was out all night and yesterday morning brought in a verdict of guilty, fixing the punishment at four years in the peniten- tiary. ——_ MOODY PROBABLY BEATEN, The South Dakota Legislature Likely to Elect a Democratic Senator.

DISTINGUISHED MOURNERS MEET THE BopY aT THE DEPOT AXD ACCOMPANY IT To ITS FINAL RESTING PLACE—A BRIEF BUT MOURNFUL PRo- CESSION THROUGH THE CITY. But few of the people who saw hearse and four carriages standing iu front of the Balti- more and Ohio depot shortly before 10 o'clock this morning knew why the vehicles had been assembled there, but the few who did had numerous opportunities to impart their knowl- edge to the majority. Some of those who were arrested by curiosity decided to await developments and secured standing room at the depot entrance, They did not have to wait long, for at 10 o'clock six sergeants of artillery ood heavy baggage truck through the Cieunent waiting room to the foot of the steps and from theuce carried to the hearse the rem- nant of mortality which during its lifetime had been famous as a soldier of the republic. MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE CROOK. The body, which arrived from Oukland, Md., at 5 o'clock this morning, was doubly encased, the outer covering being a plain pine box. most of it, however, hidden by « huge United States flag. It was escorted by a little com- pany of distinguished men, every one of them proud of the fact that they were counted worthy to be friends of him they to- day accompanied to his tomb. First among these was Gen. Schofield, in command of the army, and then came Gen. Breck, Col. H.C. Corbin, Webb 8. Hayes (the two latter having come on from Chicago), Col. T, H. Stanton, oT Jobn G, Bourke, Lieut, L. V. W. Kennon and Lieut. Andrews, the latter being Gen.Scho- field's aid. A penetrating mist was falling as the artil- lerymen moved slowly from beneath the en- trance canopy toward the hearse, but the head of every bystander was uncovered, and many of them remained shelterless until the casket had been placed in the hearse. THR PROCESSION TO ARLINGTON. As the little procession moved rapidly through the city streets it attracted only scant attention, for no one knew its character. Occasionally a veteran, seeing the flag-enwrapped casket, lifted his hat as the hearse rolled on, but that was all until the Aqueduct bridge had been | — then the cortege received recognition. Down the muddy road came the two troops of cavalry now stationed at Fort Myer—B of the fourth and B of the sixth, both of which were with Gen. Crook in Arizona—commanded by Col. Carpenter and officered, respect- ively, by Capt. Parker and Lieut Pres- ton and Capt. Anderson and Lieut. Reber, with Lieut. Baird as adjutant. The carriages halted, and then, in response to the command, “fours left,” the cavalry formed in line on the side of the road. ‘Present—sabers!” was the next command, and while a hundred blades pointed toward the dripping heavens the carriages moved slowly by, each of the occupants acknowledging the salute which was given as much to the dead general as it was to the living mourners. The cavalry trotted to the head of the column, the yellow of their cape linings and the red and white of their quidone being the only scraps of live color the cheerless scene. ‘Then the trumpeters played a dirge and con- tinued to do so as they rode slowly through Fort Myer. At the guard house the guard turned out and presented arms, THE HERO'S RESTING PLACE. Near the last resting place of Gen. Belknap, not farfrom the auditorium, the fallen leaves had been brushed away anda grave dug. Around this the officers gathered and stood while the artillery sergeants—Nietzel, Connell, Murphy, Enright, Burroughs and Fernald—took the coffin out of the hearse and lowered it to that common earthly evel where all distinc- tions are wiped out. The cavalry, now dismounted and armed with carbines, marched up and formed in the roadway, their line being but afew fect from the grave. Machine-like, they presented arms, and as such they stood until the casket sank from their view. Fora minute or more they rested on arms amid silence that was broken only by the rattle of falling leaves. It was a most impressive scene. The surrounding country was hidden by a cloak of mist, through which even the gleaming monument across the Potomac feiled to penetrate. A chilly, searching breeze moved the deep green pine | branches to musical rustlings and broke the feeble hold of amyriad of many-bued leaves that continuously fell to carpet the sodden earth with crimson and brown and yellow. ‘THE FINAL VOLLEYS AND “TAPS.” No one spoke as each of the dead man’s com- rades gave a last glance at the narrow bed of their old companion. No prayer was audibly uttered. No sobs disturbed the funereal ai- mosphere. “With blank cartridge—load'” Col. Carpenter gave the command and the little knot of offi- cers moved tothe left and the rear. There was a snapping of breech blocks, a clicking of hammers, two more commands and a volley that was as unanimous as the report of a big Pires of artillery. Again and again did the battalion fire its salute, and when the third volley had been dischatged Trumpeter Berry of the sixth cavalry ste to the grave- side and blew that sadly beautiful call—*taps.” Two colored men rapidly shoveled the earth in on the coffin and covered up until the resur- rection day the mortal fragments of on of the bravest soldiers the country ever hac, a man whose name will be more bright in the history of the frontier than that of any other of the thousands who battled for civilization and American supremacy. A MOURNER FROM OMAHA. Nearly all of those who went to Arlington with the remains were on terms of especial intimacy with Gen, Crook. The attendance | would doubtless have been much larger had it been generally known thatthe reinterment would tak: place today. but the fact failed of wide circulation, and this must account for the absence of so many associates. One who came from Omaha to pay the last | honors was there. It was Col. Stanton, known | among army men in the west as “the fighting paymaster.” When the Sioux troubles opened in the Black Hills Col. Stanton volunteered to enter active service. He was temporarily detached from the paymaster's department avd proceeded to make himself most useful. He commanded the half-breed and Indian scouts and in the course of that and subsequent campaigns had more than a fair share of dangers and hardships. He was associated in the field principally with Major George M. dali of the twenty - third infantry, who was expected to be present today. Col. Stanton was conspicuously brave in the St. Patrick's day fight with Crazy Horse on the Powder river, Mont., and again at Slim Buttes, Dak, He suffered with the others of the command on that awful march from the Yellowstone river to Deadwood, when for ten 's the soldiers subsisted entirely on the flesh of broken-down horses. CROOK'S FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF. A bosom friend of Gen. Crook’s was Capt. G. Bourke, who was with the genera! from 1871 to 1886, and his chief of staff during the greater —_— eventfal je was 2s thas tt nt he fought every mi hs age al agp Neg ef grin campaigns, and accompanying the general in that famous expedition to the Sierra Madre mountains after Geronimo. No man mourns the departure of Crook with more sincerity than does Capt Bourke. «OTHER FRIENDS OF TRE DEAD GENERAL. Gen.

Bc THE IMPROVEMENTS IN MAGAZINE MECHANISH has been rapid, and it seems peculiarly neces- sary, now that achange in caliber is contem- plated, that our present Springfield single- loading system should be replaced, if it is possible, by an oft cient magazine . Accordingly, this office will recommend that a board be con- vened to select a suitable magazine mechan- ism, after a full and free competition among the best existing sysvems, as soon es the necessary Praparations can be made. = We have lost nothing by waiting until the present time, Several European nations during the past few years have made premature changes of caliber or have adopted crude repeating systems that have had to be abandoned for newer and better ones, often before the armies were fully armed with them, . pireweestiiears - THE CARRIERS’ BICYCLES, No Partiality Shown in Their Purchase —What Supt. Bell Says. Some little talk has been started by one or two of the local bieycle agencies to the effect that discrimination was used in giving out the contract for furnishing the twenty-four machines to the city post office and that bids were not advertised for as the jaw demands. In speaking of this today Superintendent —_Bell mid to 8 Stak reporter: “That is a mistake, The law does not require that bids shall be called for. However, we acted on the recommendation of Col. Bates, super- intendent of the free delivery division in the | Post Office Department, and I sent to the local agencies of all the lead- ing wheel firms calling for bids.

Porter. Mr. W. J. K. Kenny, the representative of the mayor of New York city, called on Superis- | tendent Porter today at the census office and presented to him resolutions adupted by the common council of the city requesting the superintendent of the census to furnish a list of names of persons in the secoud ward of the city cnumerated by the census officials im the count of June last. As this was official from the representatives of the municipal government the request was in accordance with law and was at once granted by Mr. Porter, Mr. Kenny suggested that the names of | persons in the first five wards of the citysbould j furnished, and Mr. Porter gave him an or- der to Mr. Hunt, whois in charge of the lation division, directing him to furnish the de- sired informatien, It will take the office some time to com- pile a list of the names, but when thet is done a comparison will be made by the New York officials between these lists and the schedules of the police census, and the jmames lacking in the first will be | brought to the attention of the authorities [here as evidence that the official count was defective. Then these alleged omissions, | if any are discovered, will be investigated by the o 8 office in order to ascertain whether the persons said to have been overlooked were actually in the city in June last, If at is found that any names have been omitted that should have been included in the official census they | may be added.
