Oct. 2.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bre.]—Mike Kelly, the high- Priced star in the Boston ball club, created a scone at League park to-day. It 18 claimed that he was intoxicated, and that whisky was the canse of his disgrace which came upon him just at the beginning of the sev- enth funmg, Kelly was in uniform, but was 100 much “inaisposed” to pluy. He sat muffled up in an overcoat on the beneh of the Cleveland players, and made profane com ments on the game as it progressed. Cleve. land was three runs ahoad and he ventured to inform the members of his club iu a loud tone of voice that they could not win, “You never win,” said he, it characteristic modesty, “when I don't play, Kelley is king. Jam a king.” No attention was paid s lit- tle pleasantries, which were muttered at times anda shouted at others, In Boston’s balf of the sixth Richardson was touched out at the plate. Kelly did not like Umpire McQuaid's decision, and when the inning was over strodo toward McQuaid with blazing eye and inflamed faco. He told the umpire ho came west to rob Beston of the pennant, and at the same time drew back his fist to strike McQuaid. Two po- licemen sprang into the field and grappled with Kolly, who broke away and made for MceQuaid again. The ofticers took the pugi- iist in hand, however, and after chok- fog him @& trifie to subdue his untamed spirits, dragged him through the ato and left him there. Lighting acigarette, 6 strode 1nto the streot with a dejected air. Ho attempted to enter fhe grounds again, but found the gate locked, and the fence was 100 high to yault. Small boys chided him and a gentleman on the bleachers sug- gested that he buy a ticket and break in by ‘way of the turn-stile. While the disturb- nce was at its height the game was stopped. .

Jack Crooks, the nevr second baseman put- ohased by Columbus of Omaha, played his first game in this city yesterday against the Athletics, and showed up in great form.

In Crooks Columbus has a coruer Columbis socured him through the sporting oditor of Trr OMAUA BEg, who evidently knows a ball player when he sees one— Philadelphia Item. A Chance tor Duncan Ross. If Duncan Ross is in town he need not be spoiling for a match, as there is an unknown here, weighing under 150 pounds, who is auxious to wrestlo him, catoh-ns-catch-can, fora purse or a stake and the entire gate re- ceipts. As Ross weighs over 200 pounds the unknown must be pretty confident of his wresthing ability. Articles can be arranged by & visit to Patey F'allon’s saloon on South Twelfth street. To Pastures New.

St. Louis, Oct. 2.—The Kuights of Labor gencral exccutive board was in secret ses- sion all the morning, but nothing of 1m- portance developed. In an interview to-day Grand Master ‘Workman Powderly said: ‘* As to the state- ments that the Knights of Labor have been losing power and they have no confidence in their ofiicers, there is not a word of truth in it. The order has been growing rapidly in the last year and the greantest cause of its growth is the feeling that the executive boad is acting in a manner conducive to the best interests of the knights.” J. J. Holland, of Jacksonville, kla., said: ““T'ne whole animus of the opposition to Pow- derly originated m the process of house- cleaning which we adopted some time ago, many unruly and bad eloments being ex- pelled. Since that time tbey have been making war on the muanagement of the order, but with Jittle success. Tn the south the ne- groes are joining the order in great numbers, There 15 scarcely a doubt that an allance of some kind will be made between the Farm- ers’ alliance, tlie wheelers and the Knignts of Labor. The former organizations are particularly strong in the southwest. As to the charge of extravagance against Powderly i ard to the southwestern strike, thit ed groundless by authorized he order timoe and again, and men t try to say anything against his conduct now is simply absird.” “The Globe-Demoerat @ives a sensational interview with one of the Kuights of Labor who claimed at Jast night's meeting th name, umong others, endorsing Iurloug for chief of the sceret servico was o forg Upon being ques- tioned, and with the uiderstanding that his “The names were not forgeries. wo signed them we did 8o with the under- standing that re mmendations were to be filed in \Vashington for ofticial eyes only, but the committee botrayed us. = Whie we signed them for the president's eye we did ot sigu them for the public oye.’ Three othor Kuights of Labor also con- curred 1n the above story. To-night General Master Workman derly visited the local asscibli dressed them briefly on matte of theorder. He was accompanied by mem- bers of the general execntive board. The anti-Powderly dewmonstration at_ Cen- tral Purner hall had 8 small attendance, Editor Detwoiler, of Chicago, arraigned Powderly and the executive board for wast- ing the funds of the order and sad Powderly was a poor general to lead an_ army to v tory.

Rusband And Wife Brought Togethor By Onhance, S1. Lours, Oct. 3.—[Special Telogram to Tur Bre.|—In the divorce caso filod 1n the circuit court gntitied Mariah Miller vs Louis Miller thereis a most strange and romantio history. Twestyifive years age Louis Miller, then of St. Petotsburg, Russia, was married toa beautiful 1ady of high birth. Misfortune came to thenti | The country was at that timo soriously threatened by the nibulis Miller decided to leave his native land and try his fortutie among free people. Bidding s wife of a few months a fond farewell ho came to this conntry. Being a man of fine business qualifications, he readily found em- ployment and floally sottled in this city. Here ho entered into business and accumu- lated a mice fortune. During all this time he was sending money to his wite and re- ceiving letters from her. But in a fow months after he left home his mother, with whom he left his young wife, died 'and the wife left to join her friends, five hundred miles in the interior of Russia. All of this time the mails wero very irregular, and by order of the Kussian authorities letters hardly ever reached their destination. The young wife, after her re- moval, received no letters from him and he received none from her, until one day & let- ter came to him with the sad tiaings of hior death, Years passod, and the young wife could get no news from her husband. Thinking him lost, sho concluded to visit this country and loarn if possible what had become of him, bringing with her their son, who had grown to mauhood. She landed in Baltimore, aud the son came toSt. Louis and engaged in business, To some friend one day " he casually told the story of his father's life. ~ They said the son looked liko a man they knew, and he sent to his mother fora picture of his father, which was shown his friends, who took bim at onco to that wentloman.

'WORCESTER, Mass., Oct. 2.—The democratic state convention was called to order at 11:30 this morning by Chairman P. A. Collins, who was made temporary chairman. After the appointment of {ne uvsual committees, Nathan Matthew, jr., of Boston, was made permanent chairman. On taking the chair Mutthews addressod the convention at considerable lenith. After Mattews had concluded his speech, William E. Russell, of Cambridge, was unauimously nominated for governor. A ‘recess until 2:30 was then taken. The platform, which has been agreed to in committee, but not formally adopted, re- afirms the demands for free raw materials and lower dutios upon the necessaries of life; favors partial or entire reciprocity of trade betweenAhe United States and Canada and close commercial _relations with Mexico, and condemns the arbitrary action of the treasury department in respect to the importation of Mexican ores; de- nounces election frauds and opposes a scheme for a national election law. * It con- demns the present admwimstration for its nar- row purtisanship und low standard of public duty; for its surrender to the dictation of unscrupulous - political ~ bosses, such as Mahone., Quay ‘and Platt; for its utter be- trayal of the cause of civil service reform; for its perversion‘of the pension machuery for distributing 'the nation’s bounty into a means to influence vates; for its sale of high political office -for large coutributions of money by which it was placed in power, and of 1ts shameless ~nepotism, clearly indica- tive of a conception of public oflice not as a public trust, but as a private perquisite. The ruling by which the present administration, in reversal of former decisions, has tarown open the pension list to persons dishonorably discharged, is con- demned us an outrage upon common sense, a aegradation of what should be a roll of honor and an insult to every true soldier. Upon the liguor _question it _says: “Weo believe the present policy of the state in making the sale of liquor a_mattor of local option to be decided by a vote of the people of each city and town, works satisfactorily and should be maintajned.” Upon reassembling the convention plat- form was adopted and the ticket completed, as follows: Lieutenant governor, John W, Corcoran, of Clinton; secretary of state, Willam M. Osgood, 0of Boston; treasurer and re r, Feneral B. B. Munu, of Hol- yoko; auditor, D. T, Trefey, of Marblehead; attorney gencral, Elisha B. Maynard, of Springtield. Denounce Mahone, Ricumoxn, Oct. 2.—The anti-Mahone con- ference to-day adopted a lengthy report de- claring that Malione has deceived tho repub- lican national committee by false pretenses; that his plan of organization is hateful and tyrannical; that he has driven from the councils of the party the absent men in it; that he has forfeited his right to the confi dence of the people of Virginia, and that his defeal is essential to the salvation of the re- publican party. The conference recom- mended no particnlar courss to be pursued by the voters on election d: except that each shall use his individual judgment, JOHN A.
