Crxcrxsatt, Ouro, March 10.—A group of jolly looking men stood in the lobby of the Burnet House this morning, chattmg and laughing in an unconcerned way. They were delegates from the various clubs in the Ameri- can Association who came here to attend the ring meeting. “You fellows just wait two or three days,” | said Zach Phelps, “‘and you will see a change lady's let- | in the situation.” Chris Von Der Ahe and George Munson ar- rived this morning from St. Louis und Joined t Ale remarked: “Well, the association is not yet whipped, and we will make a big fight before giving up.” “That's about the size of it,” chimed Mun- son. “Cincinnati favors an association club, sad the matter of putting «new club in here fiscussed atthe meeting to- “We are not beaten,” said Julian Hart, “though taken by surprise. We will meet as we had arranged to do, but other busines will come up before the schedule is discussed.” ‘The feeling expressed by other delegates was that Johnson had made a good thing of the sale, but that he had made a cat's-paw of the association. Twenty-four hours ago the le: was whipped to a standstill. They were des- perate, and as Kelly expressed it, “Would have Paid £60,000 to get the clnb.”* ‘They also say that Johnson should, as a matter of principle, have given the association a chance to purchase at the same figure before selling out. The deal piaces President Kramer in the very peculiar position of living in a city which has no association lub (Cmcinnati). The league has the best of the situation this morning, but everything may change by night. Prince and Wagner can now turn on the league and close the gates of the Western avenue ‘ounds by injunction. Altogether affairs are Aceidedly mized. ‘This Inst deal makes six or- nizations the Cincinnati club has Sership in within the past eighteen. months. Within four months she has been in the league three times. WHEN THE NEWS WAS HEARD. A different feeling prevailed last night when it was found that Johnson had sold out. Athunder- bolt from a clear sky could not have created greater surprise and dismay. There was a little -oup assembled in the corridors of the Buraet fioute “thordly before the hour of midn They were iif in « happy frame of mind, they had received news early in the evening that the league agent had failed to negotinte with Johnson and they naturally felt secure in their position and confident of success in the fight with the old organization. A few of them at first refused to credit the report. If the deal had been consummated earlier in the day, it would not have occasioned so much surprise, but they all felt secure in the thought that the league had failed to treat with the big brother- hood chief. “Nothing ought to surprise me,” remarked Julian B. Hart, “*but still I believed that John- son would remain firm in his resolve and fight out the issue with the league in this city.” ARRANGING THE SCHEDULE. The schedule meeting of the American Asso- ciation was called to order at 11 o'clock this morning. The only business transacted was the appointment of a committee of five, consisting of President Kramer, Barnie, Hart, Phelps and Thompkins, to discuss the situation and to see what can be done toward establishing « new club in Cincinnati. The mecting then adjourned until 1:30 p.m., at which time some routine business will be di of. The committee is expected to re- vt between 3 and 4 o'clock thie afternoon, mut no action will be taken in reference to the sell-out deal until Johnson is heard from personally. MUST GIVE UP CINCINNATI. Mesers. Wagner and Sharsig of Philadelphia, Yon der Ahe and Munson of St. Louis, Bennet of Washington, and Chapman und Gatto of Louisville arrived thie morning. While there is talk of trying to establish a club here it is plain that that there is not much hope of such an outcome. It is possible the as- sociation may take steps in a legal way to the league from. getting caneee of base ball held mem- [extensive tea |street and has aleo dealt quite largely Hall & Co. was announced at noon today. This firm, which is composed of Dudley C. Hall and Dudley Hall, has for many years carried on an importing businens at 116 State in sugar. The business of teas of paper by the senior member of the firm, Mr. Dudley C. Hall, for the accommodation of per- sonal friends, which indorsements have been assumed by the firm, have made heavy de- manda upon the assets of both firm and indi- viduals, and a few days ago it became evident that an assignment would have to be made. The papers were executed yesterday after- noon, but it was not till this noon that the con- dition of the frm became known. assignees are Francis Flint of Cambridge and Wm. B. French of Winchester. A of the creditors will be held Saturday next, when the debtors will make a full statement their affairs. They have not yet prepared a schedule of thetr liabilities and ‘and any estimate of the same must necessarily be of a doubtful nature. It may be said, however, that the liabilities of the firm itself are rising £400,000, «large part of which ie, vecnred, by, conveyances of roperty and de} collateral securities. "the Ari's asecete: consiets largely of equities in real estate which has been conveyed by the senior member as collat- eral security for the firm's debts. The other available assets of the firm consist chiefly in tock in the store on State street in teas in their ware house in New York city and bills receivable, amounting in value to $50,000or $60,000. ‘The cause of the failure is undoubtedly the attempt on the part of the senior member of the firm to assist personal friends, which led him to take the extensive indorsements of pa- per mentioned above. If the assig secure time to dispose of the large interests in real estate held by the firm and the members individually to the best advantage the creditors, it is thought, will ultimately re- ceive a large dividend. The affairs of the in- dividual members of the firm were 80 con- nected with thore of the firm, owing to the indorsements mentioned above, that it became necessary for them to assign also, and the same gentlemen are assignees of their ‘individual es tates. ‘The individual liabilities, except for indorse- grounds here, but that would amount to little | ment of firm paper, are very light. The firm was the second largest tea house in the United States, doing a business of over $1,000,000 a ear. ‘The Manufacturers’ National Bank of this city placed an attachment of £5,000 upon the firm's stock this morning before the assign- ment was known.

Jackson took his wife, the possessor of a fortune of about #135,000, after having abducted her, she having refused to live with him in spite of the orders of the courts, still remain at their poste. ‘Mr. Jackson, on the other hand, maintains his residence in a barricaded condition, and the po- lice remain on waten about the scene of this matrimonial dispute, in order to prevent a serious collision between Mrs. Jack- Son's relatives, who are trying to rescue her, and Mr. Jackson and his friends, who are de- fending his residence against attack. Mr. Jack- son has telephoned that his wife during the day yesterday had been obstinate and helpless. | Toward evening Mrs. Jackson commenced to talk and there were signs of a reconciliation between the husband and wife.

The lastday of the one hundred and seventh session of the Methodist Epis- copal conference at Hamline began at 8:80 o'clock this morning with devotional service, conducted by Rev. D. G. Miller. At9 o'clock the regular business of the day began, when Bishop Joyce came to the platform and called for the minutes of yesterday's sessions. ‘These were read and approved and Rev. Geo. Elliott of Foundry Church moved that the bishop be requested to appoint Rey. H. H. Clark a chaplain in the navy, and the motion was carried unanimounly. ‘The troas- urer, Rev.

THOMPSON'S CASE RECONSIDERED. A telegram was read by the bishop from W. J. Thompson, a student at Drew Seminary, who was denied admission to elder’s orders last week, asking a reconsideration of his case. This case has occupied a good deal of the at- tention of this conference, the question at issue being as to whether the results of the examination of Mr. Thompson by the pro- fessors at Drew should be sufficient in this conference. It hus been held that he should have stood an examination for orders before the special committee. The motion for the reconsideration of the vote of last week by which he was turned down was carried, and the erits of the case were the subject of a good deal of disoussion. When the vote was taken it was evident that there had been a change in senti ment and Mr. Thompson was elected to elder orders in the Baltimore conference. He bright man and he has been sought after by the residing elders in the neighborhood of Drew Beminary and it was thought that. Baltimore was fortunate in getting him, even if it was necessary to go beyond all the precedents in the mattor to accomplish it. RATHER WORK THAN RIDE. Bishop Hurst stated that Mr. Geo. W. Knox had offered to take the members of the con- ference this afternoon out to the site of the American University, as the Methodist uni- versity is now known. p Joyce announced that it had been his intention to hold a session this afternoon in order to hear reporte and clear up any business that might remain, and if the invitation to visit the sito were accepted it would be nec to hold an extra session tomorrow. With this fact in view Rev. J. A. Price of this city moved that the thanks of the conference be tendered to Mr. Knox with the statement that owing to the press of remaining business it would be necessary to decline. This ee see ae ity. Rev. Dr. W. 8. Edwards, presiding elder of the Baltimore district, rose to a question of Personal pri in order to deny a statement made in timore American in ite report committee on sustentation that the number of claims allowed, this Fear ie lowed year % +, 96,01: ‘The receipts are as follows: Frou: custentetion collection, $4,639; from steward’s fund, $1,405; wth all beget onal $349.94 over last year. The report also makes a number of first-rate investment for the ministers, although it is the younger men that are especially de- THEY CONCLUDE TO RIDE AFTER ALL. ‘The editor of the Baltimore Methodist made s fow remarks in behalf of his paper. It had been found by this point in the proceedings that so much of the business had been trans- acted that there was no need of an afternoon session, and the action declining Mr. Knox's in- vitation to ride out to the site of the American University was reconsidered and the hour for trip was set for 2:80 o'clock. Accommoda- tions were provided for 250 people, including the members’ wives and other visitors to the conference. At noon the conference adjourned with the doxology. This evening the final meeting of the session willbe held at 7:30 o'clock, at which the few mocmevnrny Hide raed will be read and the announcements of the pastoral changes. ‘WORKING FOR FAVORITE PASTORS. Gossip and mystery combined today to make things rather more than ordinarily interesting at the Methodist conference. Tonight the ap- pointments will be officially announced and the majority of ministers will until then have but undefined ideas as to where they will be located for at least a year to come. Committees repre- senting the various churches concerned have been hard at work on Bishop Joyce. He is the arbiter of pulpitand pastoral destiniesand mayat y moment previous to official announcement upset plans which were re; ‘a5 non-re- versible. ‘These local committees have a busy time, for they are burdened with two lines of duty--they must do their utmost to capture the preachers their respective churches have tet their hearts upon and, failing in. this, they are bound to place the greatest ‘ible num- ber of obstacles in the way of what would be unpopular appointments. There are some ministers they don’t want, and at times a com- mittee will energetically inform the bishop that they simply will not have this pastor or that one. To say that 9 tithe of the gossip which was floating around Hamline Church this morning is news would perhaps be a little less than the truth, but a great many of the rumors had substantial foundation. A few of those things which were facte an hour or so ago may be cut off in their early bloom by Bishop Joyce, but the chances are that things will come outabout parallel with the ideas of the gossips. THE PRESIDING ELDER. The most important appointment locally is that of presiding elder for the Washington district and that will be filled by the Rev. H. R, Naylor, D.D. Dr. Naylor has been pastor of Hamline Church and Hamline would have been glad to get him back again, but he was marked for promotion. He succeeds Rev. J. McKendree Kelley, who, having completed his term as presiding older, will be appointed to Fourth Street Church. Another minister detached from a pastorate in the Rev. C. W. Baldwin of Wesley Chapel. He becomes Bishop Hurst's personal assistant in promoting the interests of the great Metho- dist University which is to be built here. OTHER PROBABLE APPOINTMENTS. Hamline Church—one of the most desirable in the conference—will be ministered unto by the Rev. Dr. E. 8. Todd, now of Grace Church, Baltimore. It took some time to arrive at this conclusion, because there were complications. Rev. Dr. Corey goes back to Metropolitan Church, but that was not reasonably certain until today. He might have been retransferred to the East New York conference, and had that been done then Dr. Todd would have been as- ed to Metropolitan and the pulpit at Ham- | Xf sign line filled by the transfer of the Rev.

The time of the Rev. C. H. Richardson has expired at McKendree Church and his place will almost surely be filled by Rev. L. T. Wider- man, who comes from Baltimore, but who was stationed in this city some years agc. McKen- dree had and still has! a decided preference for Rev. L. B.

While the superintendent of charities will have no power to provent the establishment of new charities or the relin- quishing of those in existence, yet he is re- quired to report as to the necessity for their existence, the work that they are do- ing and whether it is desirable to longer con- tinue to contribute to their support from the public funds. In this way the Commissioners and Congress will be placed in possession of in- formation so that they can act upon the de- mands which are le with some reasonable certainty of doing the right thing.
