It , begins to look hko a consolidation of the National league and American association , nnd that the twolvc-club schema U to bo n go. This will bo a godsend to all the minor associations , as there will bo n raft of first class talent thrown on the market nt cheap rates. The American association Is being dis integrated bv tin internal war. Columbus being the bone of contention. Von dcr Aha has gone cast to ralso money , It Is said , to buy out the Buckeye team. Another report has It that "der boss president" will confer with the league magnates now gathering In Gotham and talk over the peace question. It would not bo surprising if Von dcr Aho soon swung into line in tbo twelve-club scheme. There is no hope for him In the American association. Milwaukee has no backbone financially since President Gillette resigned , and neither Columbus nor Loulsvlllo is willIng - Ing to drop out unless paid a largo sum for its franchise. The Columbus bnciteri are game nnd uro not afraid to lose n little money , but Loulsvlllo and Milwaukee are different. Un less the percentage plan Is restored , which now does not seem likely , Ml.wnulieo will not bo able to weather the season , and that means the eventual disruption of the as- soclatmn. A. G.

The Tribune this morning savs : Within the past few days the gossip of Wall street has been pointing to the so-called Gould contingent us the principal part of the short element existing In the stocic mancot. Many conservative commission brokers are satisfied that the short Intercut , in tbo leading slocks is ex tremely large. Their own experience and investigations into the conditions of the stock loan market hero and in otlur cities have convinced them that some largo operators are severely short of stocka and at prices which uro far below the present basis. H Is not to bo denied , either , that common belief holds the biggest bears to ho tbo sons of Jay Gould and thu persons who imitate then * supposed speculative position. It is argued that this must uo the case oc- cause of the long hesitation of Mr. Gould In assenting to Ihu plan by which Iho collateral trust of three years was created to provide for the floating debt of tbo Union Pacilla and Iho "ultra conservatism'1 shown in the passIng - Ing of quarterly dividends ou the Missouri Pacific at the end of Seotomboi. This action was. a severe shock to confidence In Wall btre-ot , and It was not until the last wcok that lus effect was soon to have worn away on the stock market. Thcro Is no doubi that Jay Gould himself contemplated antagonizing the summer's upward move ment , but gossip credits the young Goulds with having been betrayed into a boar place. tV / ' t'.lTE.

The father nnd mother of Henry L. Norcross , ttiq note broker , are now fully convinced that their 30ii was the man whoso Insane act In tno aftlco of Uusscll Sago resulted t his death. Additional evidence was offered them this forenoon which removes n.l doubt from their minds. As soon as they bavo .sufficiently re covered from the shock of their son's ternblo [ loath thev will go to Now York and bring back the remains for suitable burial. Ronbon Nlckcrson , an elevator boy who was qulto Intiinato with Norcross and wns an almost'dally visitor to his office , says that his last visit was a wcok Ugu Wednesday. Ho called again Friday , the duy of the explo sion , about H o'clock. Tno ofllco was locked. He had called there frequently since. , but had obtained no entrance. On the occasion ot his visit on the Wednesday mentioned , the two had a long ohat. On the right hand sldo of the room , us ous enters , is a sink. On this sink , Nickorson says , ho saw a number of small vials resting , When NicKorson saw ttiu bottles ho got up from his seat and Went over toward thorn. Taking ono of thorn In his hand ho hold It up to the light of tlio window and endeavored to In spect the contents. Norcross , rushing toward , him , grubbed him by the arm and oxclaltned : ' Don't touch that , " at the samotlmo taking the bottle nway from the boy and placing it besides the others on tboslnk. Norcross was Irtensely nalo nnd oxclted.

P.XUI , Minn. , Dae. 12. The alliance organ , The State , Is out this week with an other "hold your wheat" circular , nnd presents - sonts the usual array of figures to show that the farmer will profit by following the nd- vice laid down therein. It holds that Russia is entirely out of the race and India practi cally so , and that present and fu ture deliveries from the farmers will lilt but a small portion of the rculrcmonts. | It does not , advlso the farmer to create tin unnecessary scarcity or to ropudl- ate his debts , but to sell only what ho is obliged to when the receipts are largo aud in creasing nnd vvhoil they nro on the decline to sell only a certain portion each month. The exporting capacity of the United States is figured at 1-10,000.000 bushels more than last year , which falls 40tOOOOOJ short of sup plying tno world's deficit. This 140,000,1100 bushels would supply Europe with bread for nineteen and ono-half days only. Taking all this into account the author of the circular claims that if tho'fnrmer does nJt get twice what ho Is now offered for his wheat it is his own fault. /.Oil1 n'tit CKItriFICATlS. i > e _ Ilobucry of n'Tttilron : < l Kinployo of a Ijiir o Ntuujicr of Securities.

How thn Interstmo Commerce Mono- nro is Hendered Nnjatory. Cincvao , III. . Dec. 12. Charges are being made lhat several of the roads between Chicago cage and the Missouri river are paving the Slrcot Stable Car company an exorbitant mileage tor the use of palace stocic cars. The railroad agreements allow Ihu payment of throe-fourtns of a cent per mile , but it is claimed that 2 cents per mlle Is paid , und the car company then divides with the shippers , thereby offectiui ; a cut rate without coming under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce law. In addition to this Iho Slreet company is waging a war of ex termination on its smaller competitors with a view of securing n monopoly of the palaeo cat service. The matter will probably DO brought before the railroad assoclallous for inv'isiigalion.

The meet ing will consider a report prepared by the board of rulingi , in which that body admits Us failure to carry out the scheme for abolishing ishing commissions , and ntlrioutes its Incon sistencies to the agreement. The report sots forth that the'agreeinent must bo amended before it can be onforcud. Unless such amendments nro made , and unless nil lines concerned in the agreement are willing to live up to Its provisions , the board of rulings desires to bo released from further obliga tions , us the authority conferred upon it has not been generally recognized by the roads Interested. Nooody seems to consider it probable that a new agreement will be adopted or that fur ther attempts will bo inodo to enforce the present one. Thus far the Erieofllcials seem to have no notion of reconsidering their ac tion in resuming traffic relations with the Chicago & Alton and the Chicago & Grand Trunk iu favor of continuing the boycott , and should ttoy attempt to do so without thu aid of thn oilier roads in the torrltorv of Iho Trunk Line nud Central Traffic associations , It Is claimed that their own business would suffer moro than that of the Alton.

Among the ofllcon was a handsome young fellow named Charles Roberts , who do- termlnod to got at the bottom of iho case If possible. He went Into the neighborhood in the disguise of a log cutter ami became ac quainted with Plnxton ana his daughter Eunice , and soon became u great favorlto with both the old man nnd the young girl.

This man did not lot Kouorts see him , but ho wont to Plnxton and told him what he know. Pinx'onhad almost fallen into the trap nnd was about to take Roberts to the still when ho hoard what ho was. The old man said nothing to Roberts.but told Eunice , nnd the } ' concluded that the best thing to do was to simply make the young follow leave the country. The girl told Roberts that thov had learned that ho was a spy , and white the family had nothing to fear from spies , they did not like to have him around , and told him he had holler go back to town or ho might get Into trouble. Roberts thought lie was too near his goal to give it up , mid while ho ostensibly started to town ho remained in the neighborhood , nnd when Pmxtoii started for his still ho was close to his trail. The girl chanced to see him ana followed too. When she saw that Roberts would undoubtedly track the old man down , she I'oliPcratoly shot Roberts' , the ball breaking Ills log. Ho was tuicon back to Plnxton'H house and nursed and then sent to town with a warning that ho would not escape capo so easily next time. Mr Kdwin Arnold.
