The interior of the immense building was decorated profusely from dome to basement with flags, streamers, naval ensigns, etc., presenting a most picturesque appearance. Every foot of its seven Acres of exhibition space is engaged and most of the exhibits are already in place. The show is the most unique ever opened in Boston. Probably the most conspicuous feature is a complete duplicate of the Burgess yacht Quickstep, which stands on a dais in the center of the main hall. Its masts penetrate the roof, its rigging is decorated with streamers and from its deck the Seventh regiment band, from New York, discourses music. On all sides can be seen models of yachts, steamers, lifeboats, berths and samples of everything pertaining to ships and shipping. Capt. Georgs A.

Chicago, Nov. 5.—Edward Spelman, of Peoria, Ills., was called in the Cronin trial and testified that he had belonged to the CU u-na-Gael twenty years. He knew Beggs, Ku uze and CoughUn. The witness was asked by Judge Longeaecker whether he did not tell the grand jury that in a conversation Coughlln had said that Dr. Cronin was a , and ought to be killed. Spelman admitted making the first half of the statement, but said that after going home and thinking of the matter, and talking with two meia who heard the conversation, he had come to the conclusion that he was mistaken. He also said that he had sent his lawyer to Judge Longenecker and also came to Chicago to personally ask that he bo allowed to correct his testimony, but was not allowed to do so. Judge Wing here said that the. conduct of the Btate's attorney had been most reprehensible, and wanted the testimony stricken out. Witness admitted that he had visited Alexander Sullivan before going to the state's attorney, but said he did so because he had heard that Sullivan had talked harshly about him. This line of testimony was ruled out. The famous Beggs-Spelman letters were then introduced. New York, Nov. 5.—The session of the council of the Baseball Brotherhood called at the Fifth Avenue hotel lasted until ? o'clock last evening. The only important business transacted was the preparation of an address to the public defining the position of the Brotherhood toward the National league.

Andrews, of the Indianapolis; A. A. Irwin, of the Wnshingtons; Daniel Brouthers, of the Bostons; Fred Pfeiffer, of the Chicagos, and James Fogarty, of the Philadelphia®. This address is as follows: Columbus, 0., Nov. 5.—Chairman Conger, of the Republican state executive committee, said last night; "Our poll of over 2,200 precincts in the state shows a plurality for the Republican state ticket of over 21,000, outside of Hamilton county. To be conservative we deduct 5,500 on account of local differences, waiving strength that may come to us from the same causes on the other lidV Figuring Hamilton as a stand off, I do  believe our plurality can possibly fall below 15,000 and may greatly exceed that figure. We estimate our majority in the senate at three and in the house at seventeen." The queen hni conferred the Utle of baronet upon Hon. James Whitehead, the retiring lord mayor of London.

London, Nov. 5.—The effort which is **ing made by the Washington government o establish more intimate commercial relations between the United States and the states of South America has awakened on this side of the Atlantic a new interest in the latter countries. This Interest is born partly of a half defined fear that the efforts of the United States will be successful, and that some of the trade will be diverted to North America. The Election.

Horrible Death of Five Men at Leba- Chairman Neal, of the Democratic ox-'" tive committee, said: "The entire cratic state ticket will be elected by »*■ majorities, and Mr. Campbell will beat Governor Foraker by not less than 16,000, and it will be more apt to be 20,000 or 25,000. We have a complete and revised poll of the 2,405 voting precincts of the state and these show 20,000 Democratic majority. The Democrats will elect twenty of the thirty-six senators and sixty-three of the 114 representatives, giving us sixteen majority on joint ballot in the legislature."  non. Pa. "At last the Brotherhood of Baseball Players feels at liberty to make known ita Intentions, and defend itself against the aspersions and misrepresentations which for weeks it haB been forced to suffer in silence. It is no longer a secret that the players of the League have determined to play next season under different management, but for reasons which will, we thiuk, be understood, it was deemed advisable to make no announcement of this intention until the close of the present season; but now that the struggles for the various pennants are over, and the terms of our contracts expired, there is no longer reason for holding it back. In taking this step we feel that we owe it to the public and to ourselves to explain briefly some of the reasons by which we have been moved. There was a time when the League stood for integrity and fair dealing.The Brotherhood's Address. Lebanon, Pa., Nov. S.—By the breaking out of molten iron in the stack of the Colebrook furnace No. 1, yesterday, Harvey Bohr, Henry Fertig, Isaac Siegrist, William Snyder and Harvey Beck were killed, and John Bohr, Benjamin Eck and Enoch Eisenhauer were severely burned. Pittsbubo, Nov. 5.—Very little interest is being shown in the election in this city, snd the vote will be light When the music ceased, President Rickman arose, and in a few appropriate words opeued the exhibition. He said its main object was to inculcate economical truth and to encourage a spirit which should lead to the rebuilding and fostering of American shipping. He closed by introducing Hon. N. D. Sperry, who fel icitated the assemblage and the country on the successful inauguration of an exhibition which ought to be and would be a national educator an inspiration to ocean trade. He hoped that soon the American ship, officered and manned by American seamen, would be found in every port in the world, and the American ensign be found floating over every sea. This would certainly be the case were proper encouragement given by the national govern- Philadelphia, Nov. 6.—Reports indicate* there will be ad unusually light rote here. The men, all of whom were laborers, were overwhelmed by the rush of molten metal while at work, and some of them were burned almost beyond recognition. The hoisting shaft of the furnace was destroyed. The total yearly foreign trade of Bouth America is estimated at $700,000,000, barely one-fifth of which is down with the United States. English trade and English shipping are supreme in South America, and it is shown that, financially and commercially, England has an immense stake there. Thus, while it is insisted upon that the United States has no possible chance of forming an exclusive customs union with South America, the English are somewhat Jealous and extremely watchful of the outcome of the Pan-American congress.

Under 'he date of Feb. 16 Beggs wrote Bpelman that he was directed to call his attion to the fact that the senior guardian of the Columbus club at a recent meeting had read to the assembled members the proceedings of the trial committee and also that certain camps had elected and initiated members before their names had been submitted to other camps. Good discipline, Beggs added, called for an investigation of these matters. Bpelman, who simply signed "D. O. 16," replied in a lengthy letter, the gist of it being a request that Beggs would refer him to the section of the law under which he was empowered to inflict a penalty on a senior guardian for disclosing the proceedings of a trial committee. Spelman concluded as follows:Albany, Not. 5. —Governor Hill has issued the following proclamation: Petersburg, Nov. 5.—Not since Kemper was elected governor of Virginia has there been a political contest fought with so much earnestness as the one today. Gen. Mahone and Capt. Philip McKinneyare the two candidates for gubernatorial honors. Gen. Mahone has had not only some of the leading Republican congressmen and other prominent politicians of the country to stump the state for him, but he has had the support of the Republican national committee. It is estimated that the cost of his campaign printing will be $50,000.

Mayor Hart was then introduced and delivered a brief address of welcome. Upon that day let the people express In appropriate manner their gratitude to God for the blessings which he has bestowed In the year now drawlug to a close, and invoke His mercy and care during the year to come. Let the day be marked by rest from secular employment, by cheer and good will at family firesides, by dlfcds of kindness to the poor and the afllioted, and by devout acknowledgment of our Indebtedness and responsibility to the Divine Giver of all good things. Zanzibar, Nov. 5.—Details have been received of the recent engagement between a section of Capt. Wissmann's expedition, under command of Lieut. Gravenreuth, and Chief Bushiri's forces, which resulted in the defeat of the rebels. Lieut. Gravenreuth found Bushiri at the head of 6,000 Mavitea, who were ravaging the country around Uzaramo. The Mavitea made three desperate charges upon the Germans, but were repulsed with great slaughter. Seven friendly natives were killed, but no Europeans. Lieut. Gravenreuth pursued the enemy, making a four days' Journey inland from Bagamoyo, clearing the country of the rebels. The Germans came upon the bodies of fiOO dead Mavitea. The friendly natives are killing the rebels wherever found. "Today it stands for dollars and cents. Once it looked to the elevation of the game and an honest exhibition of the sport. Today its eyes are upon the turnstile. Men have come into the busiuess for no other motive than to exploit it for every dollar in sight. Measures originally intended for the good of the game have been perverted into instruments for wrong. The 'reserve' rule and the provisions of the national agreement gave managers unlimited power, and they have not hesitated to use this in the most arbitrary and mercenary way.

Bond, the Republican candidate for the state senate from this district, thinks Gen. Mahone will be elected by 10,000 majority. The colored people all through the state are taking a lively interest in this election, and will give Gen. Mahone a heavy vote. The Democrats claim that McKinney will have a majority of 80,000 over Mahone. For size 10 years, manufacturers price $10, our price $7.50. For size 12 years, manufacturers price $11, our price $8.50.

Done at the capitol, in the city of Albany, this 4th day of November, in the year of our Lord, 1889. David B. Bill. The orator of the occasion was the Hon. Orlando B. Potter, of New York. In a masterly address he reviewed at length the former strength and recent decline of American shipping. It was time, he said, to regain our ocean commerce. There could be no navy without training ships of a merchant marine. He then made an elaborate argument in favor of subsidies to American ships. Bulbs! Bulbs! Fishermen Starving.

Luzerne Avenue and Sjlem street, West Piitston.Halifax, N. 8., Nov. 5.—Many families at Terence bay are bordering on starvation. Only four families have any provisions on hand, and as all have to be provided for, this store will not lost long. If fish do not strike in in the meantime there will be nothing to keep the forty or fifty families from starvation. The people of Lower Prospect are said to be but little better off than those at Terence bay. It Is proposed to petition the Dominion government to divide immediately among the distressed people the fishing bounty for this year and a part of that for next year. Helena, Mon., Nov. 5.—The official canvass of the state vote has Just been completed. Silver Bow county, over which there is a dispute, was counted as canvassed by the board of that county, thus electing the entire Republican state ticket, except Toole for governor. The judges of the supreme court and six of the eight district judges are Republican. The senate is a tie with a Republican lieutenant governor to cast the deciding vote. The house is Republican by at least six majority. The Republicans expect to gain one seat in the house in Jefferson county. The returns from this county are contested. If they gain this seat they will have oight majority on Joint ballot. There is a tie for member of the house in Beaver Head and Deer Lodge counties, which will necessitate a new election. Out of 32,000 votes cast only 1,800 are against the adoption of the constitution. Not the Friends of Ireland Sold Like Slieep. On Feb. 18 Beggs replied that he did not have the constitution, could not point out that the action oomplained of was a violation of any written law, but thought such conduct was unwise and prejudicial to the order. "Players have been bought, sold and exchanged as though they were sheep instead of American citizens. 'Reservation' became with them another name for proprietary right in the players. By a combination among themselves, stronger than the strongest trust, they were able to enforce the most arbitrary measures, and the player had either to submit or get out of the profession in which he had spent years in attaining proficiency. Even the disbandment and retirement of a club did not free the players from the octopus' clutch, for they were then peddled around to the highest bidder. That the players sometimes profited by the sale has nothing to do with the case, but only proves the injustice of his previous restraint. A Minister's Alleged Slanderers. New York, Not. 5.—The Rev. Dr. Joseph H. 'Rylance has been openly charged by some of the most prominent members of St. Mark's church in the Bowery witlf gross immorality, and he has faced his accusers and demanded a trial. Failing to secure this from them he has appealed to a court of law for redress and has sued the men who were most active in spreading the defamatory rumors to recover heavy pecuniary damages. The |charges of immorality are of a Very vague character. One suit has been commenced against Nicholas Quackenboa for libel and another against Mr. Quackenbo* and William V.

"Why," he asked, "if men are sincere, are they always opening old sores/ The majority of our men believe the parties charged (referring to the triangle) are innocent of wrongdoing and the man or men who continue to bring the charges are not the friends of Ireland." Begg's letter concluded with this significant paragraph: "Personally I think it better not to notice such things, but I am only one. The men who are in power will in time realize the motives of those who are continually breeding disorder in their ranks, and a day of punishment will come." cuse Divorce Suit. Then there are about 200 garments, nicely made, for ages from 4 to 12 years at from $1.95 to $5.00, which is about one-half of the actual value.

His attorneys claim to have information to the effect that Mrs. Drinkwine visited a road house four miles from here in company with John L Sullivan during his recent stay at Syracuse, and it is possible that they will make the big pugilist a co-respondent in the case. A New York man, whose mother is living here in very comfortable circumstances, is also said to be implicated. The New York Presbytery. New York, Not. 5.—The New York Presbytery met and discussed for several houri the question whether the Westminster Confession of Faith should be revised. Dr. Shedd opposed revision, as an admission of error in the fundamental doctrine of the church. Dr. Schaff favored revision In order to conform the nominal to the aotual tenets of the church. Other less eminent clergymen took sides for and against revision, and finally a vote was taken, which resulted 53 to 28 in favor of revision. Struggles for Freedom. It is alleged that Sullivan during his stay in this city spent a day and night at the St. James hotel, where Mrs. Drinkwine has been employed since her separation from her husband. The woman denies that, she has ever had any relations with him of any kind and she never saw him except once when he was in the hotel parlor drinking wine with the proprietor and a couple of companions. "Two years ago we met the League and attempted to remedy some of evils, but, through what has been politely called 'League diplomacy,' we completely failed. Unwilling to longer submit to such treatment we made a strong effort last spring to reach an understanding with the League. To our application for a Rearing they replied that tlie matter waSTiot of sufficient importance to warrant a meeting and suggested that it be put off until fall. Our committee replied that the players felt that the League had broken faith with them; that while the results might be of little importance to the managers, they were of great importance to the players; that, if the League would not concede what was fair, we would adopt other means to protect ourselves; that if postponed until fall we would be separated and at the mercy of the League and that, as the only course left us required time and labor to develope, we must therefore insist upon an immediate conference. Warm Times In New Jersey. Cross-examined by Foster, Spelman said he had contributed $500 for the prosecution of the murderers and was liable for $400 more. He had only paid in $100. Spelman'n Contribution, Jkhsky Crry, Nov. 5.—The day Is an exciting one and a large vote is being cast. Political meetings were held in almost every county in New Jersey last night in the hope of making converts. The Republicans claim that Grubb will receive an enormous majority in south New Jersey and will cut down the majorities in the Democratic counties. The Democratic leaders maintain that Grubb's vote will be less than that polled by Howey in the southern tier of counties. The Republicans estimate a majority of 5,000 or 6,000 for Gen. Grubb, and the Demcrats claim they have him defeated by something over 12,000 majority. Lb wes, Del., Nov. 5.—The boiler of the steamer 8. 8. Brown, belonging to 8. 8.

Continually on the strain, or overtaxed at intervals, is far less desirable than ordinary vigor perpetuated by rational diet and exercise, and abetebtion from excess. Profeasional pugilists and athletes rarely attain extreme old age. As ordinary vigor may be retained by a wise regard for sanitary living, and for the protection against disease which timely and judioious medication affords, so also it may be lost through prolonged sedentary labor, uniuterupted mental strain, and foolish eating and driuking, the chief and most immediate sequence of all four being dyspepsia, for this condition thus, or in any way induced, and for its offspring, a failure of muscular and nerve power, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the primest and most genial of remedies. Not only indigestion, but loss of flesh, appetite and sleep are remedied by it. Incipient malaria and rheumat am are banished, and kidney, bowel and liver complaint removed by iL Beggs had never preferred any charges against Cronin.

O'SulUvan's Bitter Words. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 5.—Charleston's great earthquake (festival has opened. The public buildings, private residences and commercial houses were bedecked with flags and bunting from one end of the city to the other. Thousands of United States flags were displayed and not a Confederate flag was in sight. King street presented a fairy picture with its triumphal arches, illumined show windows, swinging Chinese lanterns, gay throngs of sightseers, bands of music and military parados of both white and colored troops. There was u grand pyrotechnic display on Colonial lake with a mimic attack of the Federal fleet on Fort Sumter. A lot of seal plush coats 38 inches long, seal ornaments at $14.75. Annie Farrar, a widow and a former patron of O'Sullivan, the ice dealer, testified that O'Sullivan called at her house in May to see about taking ice. The widow spoke to the iceman about the finding of Cronin's body and said: "It is something fearful to decoy a man away and murder him like that." To this O'Sullivan replied: "They lay he is a British spy und has given away the secrets of a certaiu order, and if he did that he ought to be killed; he got no worse than he deserved." A lot of misses long garments, make, finish and quality same as the ladies, worth from $14 to $25. Price cut in half. Loit 914,000 In Two Weeks. New York, Nov. 5.—Seldom has so little excitement been shown on the eve of an election in this city as was the cause last night. The headquarters of the leading political parties were the only places where any absorbing interest was manifested. Some betting was indulged in at the principal hotels where the politicians congregate, but no large turns were either side. The local organizations are putting in a hard day's work at the polls and the usual amount of "claiming" is heard on every side. The day is fair and cold and a reasonably heavy vote is cast in this city for aD off year.  Little Excitement In New York. Kansas City, Nov. 5.—Joseph Schwartz, a diamond dealer, who has lost over 114,000 at the gambling table In the past two weeks, has had his store closed by creditors in New York and Buffalo. He attempted to escape with $5,000 worth of jewelry, but was captured. Not a 'liamond could be found in stock. It is not known what the liabilities are, but the stock is valued at $60,000. Mistaken for a Rorglar. Ottawa, Ills., Nov. 6.—Thomas H. Baird, a prominent and wealthy farmer, living at Vermillionvllle, was mistaken for a burglar and shot and instantly killed by his negro servant. Mr. Baird had been called to his daughter's house, a short distance from his own, where a number of men had been  prowling, and on his way had sent his servant back for his rifle and instructed him to shoot the first man he saw. When tha negro returned Mr. Baird was out of sight, but a moment or two later peered around the corner of the house. The negro taking bim for a burglar, fired and killed him instantly. The matter created great excite ment, but the negro was exonerated. They Resolve to Go It Alone.

The driver, the only one iu the wagon, said he was looking for tlie lake shore drive. Witness told him he was off the track.
