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.

ANOTHER BASE BALL LEAGUE
Circuit to InoluJo Oities in Brth National
and Western Leagues ,
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF BALL CLUBS
St. l.ouln , .MllnntiUcc , Detroit , Cht-
lliiltiiitorc , Xeiv York , 1'hlln-
drlnhln nndViinhliiK < oii to
Comprise the Circuit.
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.

CHICAGO , Sept. 17. Turfmen Interested
n southern tracks are said to have a plan
: o shorten th length of the racing season
n Ohleaso when the American Turf con-
RTOS9 holds Us annual sessions. Several
nombers of the congress would be pleased
to have racing begin later In Chicago and
close earlier. They figure It would give
thorn a chance to keep the good horses
at their tracks , both In the sprinp and fall.
if their calculations go through Chicago
; racks will not open before June 1 and
will close about October 15. The Chicago
managers think they can forestall any such
action.
