THE OMAHA DAILY JJBTJj MONDAY , SEPTEMBETl 18. 18110. I received the mc-JtfiRB mentioned from Cnp- tain Uruih , 1 received A JUCIKBRO from I.ltu- tenant Lowden of Oomptny d ot Curbondale , tfttlnu that ho would Iwive on n specUl train' for Cartervllle at 4 o'clock this after noon. Later I received a meswito from Cap tain nrtwh Btatlnn ibat later reports how.eJ that Bfttfln ct his mon worn killed and two injured and that a large armed mob of men waa between Cartervllle and hU mine and that one company was not sufficient. 'Tho aboTO U all the Information 1 have tip to this tlmo on the subject , from which It would ae m that thcee negro miners were waiting at the depot for the train , probably expecting to leave the place temporarily or finally. Whllo I have no Information as to whom or by whom the trouble was precipitated , It seems to bo from the brief facts above reported and the further fact that no ono was killed except the negroes , that it was a prearranged , preconcerted , premeditated murder. If I am right In this conclusion the people of Cartcrvlllo , nnd es pecially of Williamson county , should use every means possible and that vigorously , to bring these partl&s guilty ot this wholesale murder to speedy Justice and , In their efforts to do BO I promise'them the co-operation ot the state , the whole National Guard , If necessary , to bring about the arrest nnd conviction of theeo parties for the rwtora- tlon of peace and good order In the county , nnd so I advised the sheriff of Williamson county this nttornoon by wire. "This U a blot on the fair name of the commonwealth of Illinois nnd will bo a dls- grace to the community of Williamson county unless quick and vigorous action Is taken by the county authorities. The good nnd law-abiding citizens ot Williamson county should rlso to the situation and sup port the officers In restoring peace and or der nnd In the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties. "I hope that the Newton company will reach Cartorvlllo before morning nnd before nny conflict , but I do not believe- and shall not bcllovo until It happens that the strik ers will attack the National Guard or at tempt to oppose It In doing Its duty. " Situation Critical. Late tonight Governor Tanner received the following telegram trom Sheriff. Gray of Cartervlllo : "Company C has reported to me. Situa tion Is critical. Thcro are many armed men In Cartorvllle and in the vicinity ot the Brush mine. The military company is not sufficient to disperse the mob. " Governor Tanner sent the following tele gram to Ltautenant Lowdcn , commanding Company F of Mount Vernon at Cartorvllle : "Do not harard the llvea of your mon against great odds. You ore a soldier nnd the commanding officer. As such do your duty. You arc on guard nnd must be the judge as to the conditions and the respon sibility rests on you. " Governor Tanner also telegraphed Sheriff Gray as follows : "You shall have all the force necessary to enforce the law and bring the guilty parties to Justice. " Ho also telegraphed Lieutenant Lowden of Company F , Mount Vernon , to leave by the quickest route and report with his com pany to Sheriff Gray at Carterville.

CHICAGO , Sept. 17. A new base ball league , whose circuit will Include cities In both the National and Western leagues and which will bo known as the American As- Boclatlcn of llnso Uall Clubs , was formed today at a meeting here of base bair men nnd lovers of the national game. The cir cuit , ns decided on today , will Include the following cities : St. Louis , Milwaukee , De troit and Chicago In the west , and Balti more , Now York , Philadelphia and Washing ton In < the cast. These present at the meeting were : Chrla Von Der Ahe , Oeorge Shafer nnd Al Splnk , representing St. Louis , and a reputed agent of a company of > that city which la supposed to bo Interested ( n the now league ; H. D. Qblnn , formerly of Ibo American associa tion cfiib , nnd Alderman Havener , repre senting Milwaukee ; A. C. Anson and his son-in-law , W. H. dough , representing Chicago cage ; Aacemhlyman Buckley , representing New York ; Frank Hough , sporting editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer , representing Philadelphia ; M. Scanlan , representing Washington. The names of the representa tives of Detroit and Baltimore wore not given out , but they arc supposed to bo con nected with the National league clubs. Tom Loftua of the Grand Rapids team of the Western Faguo was In consultation with the now league representatives during the day , but was not present at the meeting. "Ted" Sullivan , the veteran base ball manager , was also present art. the meeting. A. C. Anson was offered the presidency of the new league , but ho refused to accept at present , and H. D. Qulnn ot Milwaukee was elected temporary prealdont. Other tempo rary ofllcers were elected as follows : Vlco president , M. B. Scanfan ; treasurer , Oeorge Schafcr ; secretary , Frank Hough ; directors , Chris Von Der Ahe , M. B. Scanlan , Frank Buckley and C. S. Havener. The platform of the now league waa an nounced as follow s : "Honest competition , no syndicate base ball , no reserve rule , to respect all contracts nnd popularize the Eame. " It was eald that President Johnson of the Western laguo had been invited , but he did not meet any ot the promoters during the day. Ho strongly disavowed any connection with the league and assorted that hla own league kept him busy. The Detroit and Baltimore representatives- kept In the background and were not pres ent at the regular meeting. It was given out that disclosing -their Identity might em barrass certain Influential league people. The rpal backers of the new organiza tion were not disclosed , but It is claimed that the league will have the support of a 'brewing ' company In St. Loula. A repro- oentatlve of the St. Louis concern was In the city , but he did not attend the meeting and ho also kept away from the hotel where he was registered. The surprise of the conference was the avowal of the promoters to invade Western league territory. All present disclaimed any Intention of golgg to war with the minor league , but they strongly Intimated that It waa war to the finish with the national organization. > , , The platform which Is the keynote to "the campaign to follow was prepared before the delegates reached the city. It lo said to be Von Dor Ahe's production. The platform occasioned no djscusslon , but wag unani mously adopted. By abolishing fho reserve rule , tto new league thinks It will get a hold on the best base ball talent In the country and by cater ing to the public with lower prices It is cer tain to get the manses. The promoters also argue that the evils engendered by forcing upon the public syndicate ball are too patent to be overlooked. The advent of Anson Into the councils of the now league means that Chicago will have two base ball loams should the now league bo a reality. It Is claimed that grounds have already been secured on the South Side and that work will begin on the grandstand Just as eoon as permanent officers are elected. Moat of the ethers maklnp up the per sonnel of the new league are old-timers In baeo ball. H. D. Qulnn was proaldont of the old American association club In Mil waukee and owns the old ball grounds. Havener Is a member of the Milwaukee board ot alderaon. Schafcr , Von Der Abe and Splnk were connected with the old St. Louis Browns. * Buckley Is a member of the New York association , and Scanlon was tha president of the Washington Union associa tion base ball team.
