New York, Nov. 9.—Tie Brother hood of Baseball Players adjourned un til Jan. 7 without completing the work of the formation of a new league. It is learned that the form of contract was adopted and that the term of ser vice contracted for will be three years. No copy of the form could be secured by reporters, who were informed that that the document had been sent to the printer. The “reserve” feature of the old league contract is omitted from the new form. Some Details of Management. It was decided that each club could be run on its own basis and that no club should be responsible for the losses of another. Tlie division of gate receipts is to be upon a basis of 50 per cent, of the gate and grand stand receipts to each club, thus giving the home and visiting clubs an equal share iu the re ceipts of each game. A prize iund of $20,000 is to be raised by an assessment of §2,500 on each club. Of this fund $7,000 is to go to the, club winning the championship, the balance to be divided into prizes for the other clubs according to tlieir relative posi tions in the championship race. Harry Wright Def<-afeil. John M. Ward was elected temporary secretary in place of John Morrili, who said that he would be unable to attend to tho duties of the olfice on accouut of a trip he had engaged to make west. The new secretary was authorized to re ceive proposals for baseball supplies. Al. Johnson retains his position as tem porary president, Chicago, Nov. 8.—In the Cronin trial Coroner Hertz testified that he held an inquest on the body of Dr. Cronin and identified the blood stained trunk. William Mertes, a milkman, testified!: “On the night of May 4 last I was on the east side of Ashland avenue, near the Carlson cottage, about 8:30 o’clock. I saw two men drive up to the Carlson cottage in a buggy. When I came about fifty or seventy-five, feet from the cottage the buggy was just in front of the cottage and it stopped. One of tlie fellows got out of the buggy and went up to the front gate and went through it and up the front steps. It looked to me as though he had some key or some thing like that in his hand and that he opened the door liimself. As soon as that fellow stepped in the other fellow that was sitting in the buggy turned the horse around at once and got awnv just as quick as he could do it. There was gas light at the comer and I could see his face.” Witness identified Coughlin as the man who went into the house and Kunze as the driver. Capt. Scliannk and Chief Hubbard. Ex-Capt. Sehaack, of the Chicago avenue station, testified to his conversa tions with O'Sullivan on May 8 and May 20. Tlie iceman denied that he belonged to the Clan-na-Gael and gave the witness a very unsatisfactory account of his re lations with Croniu. O Sullivan reluc tantly admitted that he had talked with Coughlin by telephone shortly before the murder and while the latter was a detective under Schaack and that he made inquiry about Kunze. Chief of Police Hubbard was the next witness and his appearance on the stand caused a ripple of excitement, it having been understood that he would have something sensational to reveal. He was first asked about the custody of the trunk since it was given to the coroner. He said it had been in his sole care un til delivered to the state’s attorney. This was also true regarding tlie lock and key. The chief identified suspect Burke as the Burke lie had first seen iu the Winnipeg jail, and the direct exam ination ended much to the disappoint ment of the spectators. Attorney Wing tried to bring out what the chief knew about his client, Coughlin, but the judge refused to permit him, as Coughlin had not been mentioned in the direct exam ination. Capt. Sclmetler’s Story. Police Capt. Schuetler next told of his connection with the case, on which ha had been working since the beginning. He first heard of the Carlson cottage on Court Orders tho Vote of I'recinct to lie Counted. HEIJENA, Mont., Nov. 9.—The Silver Bow mandamus case was finished, Judge DeWolf denying the right of the minor ity of the board of canvassers to appeal from the order of the court directing the canvassers to count the vote of the Tunnel precinct. The court issued a mandatory order and Hall and Irvin counted the vote of the disputed pre cinct for McHatton, Democrat. This action also covers the legislative contest and by it the Democrats secure 10 of the 11 members of the Silver Bow delega tion. T he contest is now as to the certifi cates of members of the legislature. After the state canvassers adjourned the secretary of state issued certificates of election to the members of the legisla ture, including the six Republicans of the Silver Bow delegation. The clerk3 of the different counties had already is sued certificates, and the Democrats elect refused the secretary's certificates.

Ambitious Oblo Statesmen Who Are Auxious to Fill Them—Campbell’s Plurality Beaches 11,454. Columbus, O., Nov. 9.—The returns from every precinct in Ohio, unofficial, show that Campbell defeats Foraker by 11,454 and that the Democrats have both branches of the legislature with eight majority on joint ballot. On the rest of the state ticket it is very close, and probably some on each ticket are elected. It looks as though the Republi cans had the state treasurer, clerk of supreme court, attorney general and school commissioner and that the Dem- ' ocrais had secured the lieutenant gov- j ernor, supreme court judge and mem ber of board of public works. It will take the official count to determine all below the governorship, and this will be completed this week. After Senator Payne’s Place.

Whose ghost?” was the nat ural query. “I tyave never seen the unquiet shade myself, but popular tradition assigns the specter to a handsome British officer who had his career summarily adjourn ed sine die, at this first bridge while he was busy trying to coerce the revolu tionary rebels into love and duty for his master, King George HI.” By tlie time he had made this explana tion we were across the bridge, and our horse had given a spasmodic jump as though he had seen the ghost, but it was only a ruminative cow that breathed a sigh in the near-by pasture. “Well, regarding your ghost. WliatiB its history and who has seen it?” “Several people claim to have seen it, and it is also fair to say that there are quite a number more who are willing to swear that they have not seen it, although they have looked for it conscientiously. I belong to the latter class myself. I look for that ghost every night that I cross that bridge.

Before the iron horse knocked the business and the romance out of many a country tavern, the locality known as the “Six Roads” was quite a place. Previous to the build ing of the turnpike road, in 1810, the. cross roads at that place was the rally ing center for a large district of coun try. Some of the earliest Fourths of July the country owned were celebrated there with great pomp and ceremony, and the patriotic glories of ’trainin’ day’ always drew there a crowd who feasted, fovght, drank and made merry with great heartiness. Even before the Rev olutionary war there was a blacksmith shop and several houses, besides the tav ern, to give tlie place importance, and during ‘the time that tried men’s souls’ some tragic events transpired near the old tavern. “The south branch of the Rahway river runs about four hundred yards south from where the old revolutionary 3 nomination, is also iu tne nciu, game tj rae solemnly asseverate that he ge i dm ' t believe to <**• ta Mr. Payne will not be a candidate for re-election.

The Evening Post, the leading Demo cratic organ here, publishes the follow ing interview with John R. McLean, at Washington: He says he wouldn’t have the Ohio senatorship on a gold platter. This dec laration of Mr. McLean is believed by his intimate friends to be final. Mr. McLean made no secret of his desires in that direction in 1885, but since that time he has resided in Washington and gained' an idea of what the position really is.

The body of the British of ficer had mysteriously disappeared, and though an active search was made it never was found. “Years after, when the old tavern was dispensing applejack amid scenes of pas toral peacefulness, an old continental soldier whoresided in the neighborhood, and was familiar with the story of the shooting and the missing body, started home from the tavern one night, and the landlord was about shutting up when his customer came back on the full run, re gardless of his well earned rheumatism. He was white with terror, With chat tering teeth he related how he was tod dling along home, with his head down and thinking of nothing in particular, when he heard a big sigh close by, and, looking up, he saw right on the end of the bridge a handsome looking British officer in his red uniform and on a big bay horse, riding about the road slowly, looking intently on the ground and sigh ing as though he was looking for some thing he wanted very much but could not find. “ ‘B’ gosh!’ said the old soldier, *1 knowed right away it was that dead British officer looking for his body, and I came away as quick as I could.’ “Thus, you see, the authenticity of the Six Roads’ ghost is regularly established.**. —J.

He could easily defeno ’ Jmself-there. and the British had the rare good sense to know that to tackle George up among those hills would be a most unhealthy and unprofitable investment of time, talent and Hessians that cost too much to be wasted. “They were anxious, however, to draw him out, and to that end freque-ntly sent out troops to make threatening demon strations in that direction.
