Lonts Browns. 81, Lovts, July 17.—If all rumors which arerifo in buse ball circles just now are true, the day is rapidly approaching whon the crookedness and hippodroming tendencies of base ball players will bring the national game into such flagrant disrepute as o mako it a stench to the nostrils of all lovers of the manly sport. Tho Post-Dipatch says that for somo time past there have beon stories afloat to the effect that certain mem- bers of the Brown Stocking base ball club were not playing ball. Stories of crooked- ness in the Browns were first started when they made that distastrous trip to Kansas City. 1t was then, and s still, gonerally believed hore that the team urposely lost those games to force Von Jor Ahe to remit the fines he had imposed on Robinson, who had refused to play unloss it was remitted. Still, at that time no one thought that the club wis losing for o monetary consideration, although thero wore stories afloat that they had Robinson against them in the pool-room. Even those who made these charges didn’t claim that the playersremoved 1o blay oft by any other mo tve than to force Von Der Ahe to Robin- son's terms. The men against whom charges are made are Pitchier King and Third Batoman Latham, Instances are cited where King and Lutham have been responsiblo for the loss of Kamos, and one game is cited where the circumstances ware, to say the least, suspicious, between the Browns and the Athlets, King' was in the box for the first two innings, and_ a well- known sport was backing the Athletics heavily. King's pitching was 80 excorablo that ho was taken out and Stivetts substi- tuted. At that point, although the Athletics were ahead, the sport_commenced hedgin and gave odds to get his money protecte The Browns won by a scorc of 13 to 13. THE SPEED RING. Washington Park Races.

Mitchell Says Hoe Didn't Go Back on Rilrain, New Yon, July 17.—|Special Telogram to Tur Bee.]—It took good eyesight to recog- nize in the tanned, dust-begrimed counte- nance poked out of a Bleeker street second- story window yesterday the ever natty Charley Mitohell. But it was he, though after nights and days of playing tramp and preacher to reach New York. “Jake,” said Mitchell, “‘wasn’t anywhere nenar his perfect form when the fight began. That's all I can say on that point. But I want you to deny that I left Kilrain's com- pany when he was in bad shape. I couldn't sit back in the car, you know, and hold him inmy lap. Ihad to 'be in front to see that we didn’t get arrested. It's procf that I did my work, or we wouldn’t both he here, or I mean 1 wouldn’t be here.” Mitchell refused to say anything about Kilrain’s whereabouts, but denied that cither his own wife or Mrs. Kilrain was in town. It is authoritatively reported that Sullivun left Chicago for New York last night, In that case he will arrive here somo time this eveying, This course, it is said, has been pursued by the champion on the advice of his friends in this city, who assured him that he could now vome on here without any fear of arrest. Stakeholder Al Cridge was notified last night by Referee Fitzpatrick to turn over the stakes of the great fight into the hands of Sullivan’s backers, and this ceremony will be gono through with as soon as the parties 10 it can be brougnt together. Kilrmin Arrives in Baltimore. Bavtivorg, Md,, July 17.—Jake Kilraino, who arrived in Baltimore yesterday after- noon, has entirely recovered from the effects of his battie. He does not show a mark of any kind. In speaking about the great fight, Kilrain said squarely that he was whipped, but thought he was largely the victim of o cumstances, When asked directly if he thought ho had been drugged, he said, No," Johnny Murphy, when usied the saue ques- tion, answered 'that thero was something wrong, but thut _for the present his tonguo was tied, but when the time came he ex- pected to make some important revelations. In speaking about tho fight, Kilrain said: I knew I had mot been trained properly and was not in fit condition to fight Sullivan, but if 1 had not gono into the ring people would have saidl was a coward, and 1 meant to fignt if I was killed, The crowd there was against me, and the referee, I think, while &' squaro man. was pertial to Sullivan and knew nothing about the rules, Both he and the crowd wore all the time teliing me to go up to Sullivan and 1 went, knowing T would only be knocked down. Of course the referee had no right t0 say a word, and under the rules I could run all around the ring, but there was no one but little Murphy here to coach me, and I blindly went up and took my wmedicine, Tho fact that though I was knocked down repcatedly, but not knocked out, shows Sullivan’s terrible blows aid’ not have tho power some people sup- ‘mluxl they did. I could have stood up lo but Donovan threw up the sponge in th citement, being afraid 1 would get killed. My blows for some reason or other did not m 10 have any force. My arms seemed numb, but what was the matter I do not for tho life of me know." Accidentally Killed His Brother.

The New York Market Greatly Over- atocked With the Article, Nrw Yon, July 17.—The large accumula- tion of buuter in this city at present is al- most without a precedent,for there aro about 13,000,000 pounds of this article stored in this city and 1mmediate vicinity and the sup- ply is increasing at the rate of about 3,950, - 000 pounds a week. The supply from this stato is large, but tho great bulk df the sup- ply of butter comes from the western state The average quantity exported from Now York each week has been about 500,000 pounds for this scason of the yoar, During the past six days 850,000 pounds were exportod. The amount of butter consumed in this city and _vicinity per woel is about 16,000,000 pounds. Most of the produce merchants here are refusing to buy any more butter on their own sccount, and will only agree to hold and sell it on account of shippers, and many of the latter have given instructions to the receivers here unot to sell below a certain figure. Exporters would be willing to_speculate if they could get goods cheap, and many recoivers think this would relieve the trade, Should shippers persist in their obstinacy it is said & break in the market will oceur before long unless there 1s @ falling off in receipts, Much bulter is damaged by the heat on the way.

It was given to Mrs, Barry, the general director and instructor in woman's work, and she started for Philadol- phia and thenco to Paris. The first assembly has been organized for somo time, but wo have held back tho charter, preferring to send by a special messonger. " ‘‘Was there any danger of 1t stroyed if carried by the mail?" “Well not particularly, but the French assembly is working in secret nnd it is a quostion whether oven the namos of the wembers will be made public.” ‘I8 it under a prohibitory ban?" *No, but they prefer to work secretly.” T8 anything being done or will anything bo douo by your board to bring back the seced- ing members of tho Kuights of Labor who have organizod a rival order?” “‘Oh, no; we do not want them back. gre stronger without them, They formed the disturbing eloment in the order and we were glad to have them go.

Itis not our pur, to do them any injury. Then ther8 was a gonersl running talk on the course to be pursued by the order to solve the problem of labor troubles. and it developed that no single line will be fol- lowod but a series of educational efforts, the most important of which is to ballot for reform, *“That somethiog of this kind is necessary can be seen by the state of affairs in my own state, Penusylvania,” said Mr. Powderly. ““Ihere in the coal fields the laborer 18 under the grind of the millstones, and every offort has been mudo to convince him that his remedy is in his own hands at the polls, but when election day comes he walks up as usual for the old parties and for men who go to congress and sell out. These laboress can not plead ignorance. Tvery man over eighteen years of age has had a_chance to post himsclf, and_ why is it he votes against his own inte- rest! Iu is u question of ecasy solution to the thinkers and readers of to-day, and the only remedy is the secret ballot, whero the citizen can voto without fearing to ex- press his own feelings and bring misery upon himself by s vote, Several bills have been prepared for the development of this theory, but uot one covers the requive- ments. 1t is only a pretense so far.’” A telegram was_ received from Pennsyl- vania that the strike in the Homestead Iron works of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., hat been settled and a victory won by the .nights. Carnegie proposed a 15 per cent discount of wages and the men struc " : to-day gave in, and the men wero to return atthe old schedule.

Thoy Show Their Hand at tho Ohoey- onne Agency. Crmyrsy® River Aarxoy, Dak, July 17— ISpecial telogram o Tie Bre. ] —The Indians, met in council among themselves early this morning, and soon after camo over to the pavillion, where they wore met by the com- missioners. There woro about the same number as at tha council on Monday, though now they seomed to have differont loaders in two half-breeds, who tooks positions in tho front ranks, and during the council held a firm control of the Indians and prompted them in all their sontiments, s oxprossad in their specches. This is the first agenay at which the mixed bloods and squaw men have not allbeen in favor of the bill unanimously. Tho ranches of some of these men aro on the land, which it is thought probably animates their opposition. The strong probabilities are that the Indians, if loft alone, would bo fayorably disposcd. Straight Hond, captain of tho police, gave the Indians a short talle beforo the talking began. Some difference of opinion seemel 10 8x18t A8 10 tho cause of the action in coun oil, but this was settled and the council was bejzun by the asking of somo questions and their answers by Governor Foster. Whethar they undorstood the optional features of tho soveralty provision is not clear. While Swan, Charger, Crow Iaglo, Hump Rib aud Bring Grubspoke at length about e various provisions of the bill and asked numerous questions concerning the boundary lines, Swan bogan his talk by saying: “Allof the Indisn raco who have boen brougnt upon this land_aro full of jealous spite and_meanuess, They are all rascals and all will tell a lie. You are a_great peo ple and have a great name, but 1 have not given you my answer." He then dwelt at length upon the promises of the treaty of 1850 and 1570, speaking of the boundary lines axd expressing dissatis- fuction with the size of the reservation re- maining to them, Ho concluded his talk by saying: “Iam not satisfled with this blil and do not think I can sign the treaty.” Following White Swan wero the ladians named, all of whom expressed themselves as not favorable to the bill, though one notic- able feature was tho lukewarm way in which the declinations were expressed, there being but two i all who absolutely declarod themselves against the treaty, When tho council had been prolongod until about 2 0'clock the Indians asked for an ad- journment for a short time, us they were gotting tired and hungry. Tho council then broko up to assemblo at a later hour upon the ringing of the boll at the agency. So far all oxpressious have beon against the bili, but it is not yet thought to be defin- itoly seitled. Genoral Crook informed your correspon- deny that, a8 yet,” ho could form no ' definite ' opinion as to the result of the negotiations here. Some strong effort will be made to ciieckmate the influence exerted by the two mixed bloods who huve been so bitter in their opposition.

Services and Practices Whioch Under- mine the Nerves and Health, There is no doubt, says the London Hospital, that human beings often be- come intoxicated, although they may be total abstainers. Indeed, asceticism in one direction often tends to excess in another. While we are gratefu! for the improvements which have taken place of late in the methods of observ- ance of Good Friday and Isaster Sunday (in the established church), we cannot concenl from ourselves corfain dangers attaching to modern religious observ- ances, Some mothers very rigidly ob- jeet to their daughters, for example, spending the whole of Good Friday in church without proper food or Bus- tenance of any kind, One lady states that her daughter commenced nt 6 o'clock in the morning and remained in church until 5 o'clock in the after- noon. After an hour’s interval she re- turned to the church again and re- mained there until late at night. Re cently a service, entitled *“*Tencbri, has been started by certain of the clergy, which consists of the gradunl extinguishment of all lights as the service proceeds, until the whole building is enveloped in dark- ness. Mothors, quite vightjy, ob jeor 1o the youth of both soxes attending such sorvices, and they regard them as caleulated to reintro- duce all the vice and evil attaching to | revivalist services of pnst times, W hat with communions from 5 a. m. onward, } watchings, confessions, church duties, | and the multifarious services which certain clergymen now endeavor to in- duce young ladies to undertake, the happiness of many families and indi- | viduals is becoming undermined, For a clergyman who is bound by solemn vows to inculeate morality, sobriety, moderation, virtue and u ton- der rd for others, to use his church for organizing and enfovcing religious excess in cvery direction is to prove himself an unfaithful steward, dange ous to tha bost intorests of youth and old alike. Ifsome check is not put to the unwholesome excitements fostered by certain of the rgy, many ndaughe ter's health will be undermined, if her life is not ruined, through the infiuence of her so-called father in God. In the interests of morality, of sobriety, of health, of sober sense, and of the nationsl life we protest against reli- gious excesses of all kinds, and we look upon the clerical intoxication here re ferred to us a social danger waich, if unchecked, must soon result in the degradation of many of the risiug generation, A Comfortable Fashion, The men of Berlin have set a com- fortable fushion of carrying Japanese fans and sunshades through the warm weather.

WHITNEY FOR LEADER IN 1892, The Randall-Gorman Wing of the Party Said to be Winning Over Many of the ox-Presi- Aent's Supporte An Interesting Rumor, nw Yok, July 17.—|Specl Telogeam to Tur Bre]—Thoro is some interesting gossip curront anent domooratio politics. A rumor goes that a deal has boon made which shelvos ox-President Cleveland permanently and places ex-Secretary Witliam O, Whitney in tho lead as the democratic presidential candidate in 1302, Last weok there was an influx of democratie leaders from Ohio to see Colonel Brice, of the democratic national committoo, and thoir presence hero is con- sidered by shrawd Clovaland democrats as another link in the chain of ovidence that the deal has been made. A prominent Cleveland to-day he hind domocrat said evory reason to boliove that the machine democrats havo dropped Mr. Cleveland. His story of why the ox-presi- dent was dropped s the same as that given by the rumor. Sonator Gorman of Marylaud was at first opposed 1o the olec- tion'of Colonel Brice as_chairman of the democratic national committeo, Ho felt that the colonel represented the free trade ideas ot Cloveland and ho did not wish to have another campaign with the same issue as that of 1883, His opposition to Colouel Brico was assuming definite shape whon the lead ers got togethor and mapped out course that placated the Maryland sonator and made him an_enthusinstic supporter of Brice. Tho deal was that Whitiey should have the sup- port of tho_committee for tho presidency in 1892 and Colonel Brice should be elected chafrman and then should make a strong fight for the senate from Ohio, If ho failed t0 succeed Sonator Payne, thon he was to bo supported by the committeo for the vice- presidency. Matters have worked woll since the alteged deal. Colonel Brico was elocted chairman and Senator Gorman was hearty in his sup- port. The Rendall-Gormau wing has won over prominent Cleveland domocrats by promising to sce that thoy are woll takoen care_of if the national ticket wins in 150, Ex-Presidenc Cleveland still thinis his most nfluential friends aro for hun and thoy permit him to indulge in the Hattoring de- lusion, UNCLE JERRY TALKS, Rusk Believes Harrison W Second Term New Yomk, July 17.—A Washington special to the Times gives an account of an interview with Secretary Rusk. The cor- respondent states that the secretary ridie culed the idea thav he (Rusk) would bo a candidate for the presidency in 1892, and quotes him as saying: “Mr. Harrison will be the candidate, and & right popular and successful one ne will be, t00." “You have no doubt that Harrison will be candidate!" “None whatever.” “And that he will wint" “Yes, he will. He will win, He is mal- ing & most popular president, especially with the c mon peonle.” “By the common people you mean whom ' “The mass of the voters.” Of course, thero are some politicians who thinl he is not mak- ing removals rapidly enough, and that things generally are not running s fast s thoy would wish. But President Harrison is a tevel, clear-headed man, und knows what ho 18 about, and will prove' himself as well ono of the most popular of presidents. But there, if Igo _on any further, you will bo printing an_interview with me. Don't yow go and do it.” | Securo & SENATOR DDOCK. He Snys That Important Nebraska Appointments Will b» Made Soon. Senator A. S. Paddock arrived in Omahs last evening direct from Washington, and is at the Murray. Inreply to a reporter's in- quirids, ho said: ““I returned purposely to to look after private busiuess—matters that are entirely personal. There is no politics in it whatvever. Certain affairs here required attention now, and they could not be adjusted without my presence.’’ _ While the senator refrained from divulg- ing the nature of Lis business, cortain move- ments pownted strongly to streot railway affairs. Very soon after he reached the city certain members of that corporation were in close consultation with him. Bpoaking of Washington, ho referred to the extremely hot weather there, and stated that six hours a duy devoted to visiting de- partment headquarters nearly used him up. “Concerning Nebraska appointments, 1 have nothing that can be given out further than to ussure Bre readers that we are in good shape and will get our share of the public patronage and some of the more important appointments will be made before long.” Being asked to oxpress himseif as to Judge Groft’s chances for securing a place on tne inter-state commerce commission, he said “The judge .is being favorably con- sidered, Prosident Horrison has hoard a great deul of him. I saw the president and made an oarnest, vigorous uppeal in the judge's behalf. He asked me for all the papers recommending him, and 1 had them put_in shupe and sont to tho white house, IPurther than this T am not at liberty to say anything about tho case.” The sewator will return to Washington in a few days.
