THE INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Pottsville, Sefct. 9,—Under the ruling
of Secretary Williams, of the American As
sociation, the fight for the Inter-State base
ball championship has already been decided
and it only remains to decide the relative
positions oi the clubs after first place. The
Merritts won 77 per cent of their games, and
no other club can wl:. more than 65 per
cent so that, instead of the Brooklyn, Har
rlsburg and Reading clubs being engaged In
a congest for the championship, it is really a
fight for second place. The difficulty might
have been avoided by throwing out the
Merritt games when that club was expelled
for non-payment of dues, but as this would
have advanced the Anthracite Club, of this
place, which had been unfortunate in every
game played with the Merritts, the other di
rectors refused to consent. Several of them
have since expressed their regret at their
short-sighted policy, and the subject will
again come up at tue September meeting of
the Inter-State directors.

The Kide-r List Arraigned as an Accessory
—The fefldeoM Bltaa at the Preliminary
Hearing.
George! Taylor, who was fatally shot by
Lewis If. List, on Saturday afternoon,
y detailed in the Gamtti of
aanjie day, died abont 12 o'clock
Saturday! night. The circumstances
of the affair as published in the late edition
of the Ga|zbttb were aubetantially correct,
and the hitnute details of the lamentable oc
currence, as developed by the hearing given
Lewis F. List, and his father Lewis Uat, be
fore Judge Cummins of the Municipal
Court, Saturday afternoon, were as follows:
James P. Ford, sworn,—When I got home
from wor|t at noon there was quite an ex
citement «round; 1 saw Taylor at Eleventh
and Kirkwood; I asked him why he was un
there and he said there was a family diffl
culty witty Mr. List aud Mr. Dean's wftfet 1
went home and washed and sat down to my
dinner; while I was eating somebody said,
"They're at it now;" I ran to the door and
stw Taylor had the prisoner down; I saw
Taylor strike the prisoner and then List's
fati.er c...i|ie out with a club and struck at
Taylor anil Taylor ran; List's father said,
"Shoot him;" young List had a pistol in his
hand; the old man ran hls hand into his
pocket blit didn't draw anything
young List fired at Taylor and
chased him to the corner and I think fired
again; I turned back thinking they might
into city alley, and then, after looking
Into the alley, was going into my house
when 1 saw young List standing in my door;
when I went to go in he jumped back as it
he thought I was Taylor aud threw his arm
back; be had a pistol In his hand; I got in
the middle room and stood at the door of it
Intending to watch my opp rtuuity to get
him out ol my house and then shut the
door; before I could get such a chance he
threw bis frm up and shot; I did not see
whom he «hot at; alter he sl ot be came
running through the ball and out doors the
back way; I gave him plenty of mom; (this
amused the audience); George Taylor works
in the same shop X do, Pickels' foundry; 1
understood there was an altercati in between
Dean's wilb and young List; it seems they
had a row on Monday night and List called
her a daraty 11 tr, and she called him another
one, and he struck her; so Dean told me;
the club the older List had was
long and 1% inches thick; when I went to
go into my house the prisoner was standing
in my door 1 with a pistol in his hand, as it
he was waiting for some one; after he shot
he ran back through my house, jumped the
fence and got back in his owu house; I
didn't see «nythlug more of him; he lives
next door tyut one to me; after List had
gone I weilt out and saw George Taylor
lying right at the corner of u y porch; my
house is on, Eleventh street between Pine
and Kirkwbod, south side of the street
as full

TUE] ARREST OF THE SLAYER.
Tlbbitt, (policeman)
About 12.4<1 iny little boy came runuing
into my house and told
been shot; I went out and a mau came
across the lot aud told me that the pris
oner was over iu his house and they would
keep him there till I got a warrant for him;
I went iu through the Vulcanised Fibre
Works the back way and arrested the pris
oner and brought him to the City Hall; on
the way he told me he had shot Taylor and
that he had left his revolver at his mother's
house; lie siiid he shot twice, that Taylor
had called him and "he knew nothing about
it" till he called him out.
THE FOUR EMPTY CHAMBERS.
Chief Hftwkins, sworn—The wounded
man was brought here in a wagon about 1
o'clock; theie was a wound In the corner of
hls left eye; we laid him down on the floor;
he was unconscious then; I started down
to where the fuss occurred, some one hav
ing telephoned for me, and an officer having
come up and| told me a man had been shot
aud was dying; I got a warrant and started
down and ilaet Officer Tlbbitt coming up
with the prisoner at Sixth and Walnut; the
prisoner said! there was a fuss aud he "had
shot him;" he told me his revolver was
down at his mother's and I sent Officer Can
non down after it; it was a seven-shooter;
four ol the cihambers were empty and three
had cartridges in them.
MR». FELL'S TESTIMONY.
Ella Fell, »worn—The first I saw of It was
Liet and Taylor scuffling in the street; then
old Mr. List came out with a club and
struck at Getyrge; then George got up and
rau; List ran after him and fired two shots;
then he came running back and
another man's door and tired at George and
George fell on the pavement; I could not tell
whether old Mr. List hit George or not; he
struck at hint with a club that looked like
a base ball bat; George had youug List
down in the middle of the street when the
old man cam» out.
• THE ELDER LIST ARRESTED.
Frank
sworn—
th&r a mau bad
At this juncture the elder List was brought
having just been arrested by Officers
Tlbbitt and Walker, and placed In the dock,
He listened with close attention to the re
mainder of lllrs. Fell's testimony against
hls son and, when his own testimony was
taken up, sahft that he was ready and spoke
up without any hesitation when called on to
do so, though like most persons brought
before a couri, Insisting upon telling his
own side of tjhe story rather than cross
questioning the witnesses. His appearance
is familiar to many residents of Wilming
ton. About <l>r pvrhgps a little above the
medium height, r-tther spare looking, about
years old, 1 vith a heavy white mustache
d bushy white chin beard, the lines ol his
face showing the recklessness of expression
to be expecte«? in one who had killed his
man nearly 20 years before, after having
warned him that he would do so if he per
slated in settling foot upon his premises with
out a warrant.
After the elder List had been placed In
the dock, Mts. Fell continued her test!
mony, saying : Taylor ran away from List.,
Lisi rau aiteil him and fired two shots; I
could not tell whether either of them struck
him; he ran abound the corner; Taylor was
coming towards List when the last shot was
fired at him; «jid uot hear any words pass
between them; was not close enough to
hear.
"Lewis F. List have you any statement to
make?" asked clerk P**niugtou.
"No sir," answered the prisoner.
"You don't want to make any statement?"
queried Judg«i Cummins.
"No sir."
"Lewis F. List," said Judge Cumminss,
"you are hereby held for court, without bail,
awaitlug the result of the shooting."
THE EI,DER LIST AKR 10NED *
"Lewis List|," said the court, "you are
arrested for being an accomplice in the
shooting of Gilorge Taylor, are you ready
for a hearing! '
"Yes sir."
Mrs Fell then repeated her testimony,
adding that after the last shot waa fired the
Into
in,
an
elder List came up and said that, If a pistol
wouldn't do, he had a gun In the house. 8l|ie
asked hlm tbeu W 'go Into the house arid
let the mau alone; that they had killed him
now. He told Lis son to jump on hltn
(Taylor) and beat hlm. I asked h
away and let him alone and then hls
said something to him and took him away;
I could not hear what his son said."
LIST TELLS HI8 STOUY.
to go
"Have you any questions to ask ?" aaiil
the Court.
"In the first place," said the prisoner,
"this morning my son sent hls little boy nt>
to my house to tell me to come right down.
Said I, 'what does h •• want ?' Ha aald, 'he
wants you to have a settlement.; they are
taking things out and he want« you to comi*
down and bargain so that he cat get clea^
of paying more than half the rent.' 1 put
on my bat and down I went —"
Here the prisoner was checked by the

cross-examining the witness.
"What was it I said when I first cam<|;
Into the house ?"
The witness could not remember, but her
niece (Mrs. Dean), who was present, spok«!;
up : "You wanted to know whal was going
on."
Further questions put by List elicited that,

cause he feared the landlord %ould hold
him responsible for the whole rent; aud had
said that morning that he would shoot any
man who would come in there to put the
goods out. The elder List had said that the
Deans should not take the goods out;
that Mrs. Dean should not even take her
clothes out. Mrs. Dean replied that they
could not keep her from taking away her
clothes. Then Mrs. Deau went up to
Esquire Cole's, to consult him, and came
hack with the statement that the Esquire
had told her she could move the goods.
There was no fighting in the house; it began
and ended in the street.
Here the prisoner added : "When Taylor
came there, how did he come to the door i
I thought the door was coming in. Then
he strode into the back room and says he,
'What's all this fuss here? If there's any
article in this house you want, have it right

wife), 'Go and see who that is.' She came
back and said, 'Lou, you're wanted outside.'
Next thing I heard this man (Taylor) say,
'Come out on the pavement.' I went to the
window and saw him (Taylor) haul off and
knock him (you- g List) down aud com

James P. Ford, recalled—Repealed his
former testimony,adding that after the elder
List struck at Taylor with bis club he called
out to his son, ''shoot him! shoot him! shoot
him!" After the last shot, and before he
ran through witness' house, young List
said, "I have 6hot him I I have shot him!"
Afterwards the elder List came np and said,
"I have another for him," or something like
that; in the first instance young List had
drawn his pistol and was using both hands
in cocking It when his father called out,
"Shoot him!"
The prisoner—"When the first shot was
fired was not Taylor on top of my son?"
Witnesg—"No, sir; your son was about
the distance of that window off from him,''
(about 30 feet.)
"When Taylor got up and ran, didn't he
turn back before my son shot at him?"
"No, sir."
The prisoner asked if Taylor did not re
turn with two bricks in his hands, but the
witness explained that he saw nothing oi
Taylor between the time he disappeared
round the corner and the firing of the last
shot.

TUE ELDER LIST'S CRIME.
The crime committed by Lewis F. List, in
which his father is an accessory, naturally
recalls to mind the fact that the latter was
guilty of a similar crime, be having shot and
killed a policeman, named John K. Baylls,
just 20 years ago yesterday. The circura
stances of this affair were af follows:
On Wednesday, September 9, 1863, Lewis
List, then a well-known paper hanger- of
Wllmiugton, was met ou Jeffcrsou street,
near, Sixth in an intoxicated condition, by
John R. Bay lie, one of the city policemen.
As List was very disorderly Bay lis ordered
him to go home, but List,who had a grudge
against the officer for arresting him the pre
vious evening, refused to go, and made use
of aggravating and insulting language. Just
how the trouble acl u&Uy started was never
made clear, even at the trial, but It ended in
the officer drawing hls pistol, at which List
rau around the corner towards his home, on
Sixth street, near Jefferson. Baylls following
him, and according to the evidence of
parties, firlug two shots during the pursuit.
List ran into his house, and meeting a friend
there named Charles Starr, asked him for
a pistol, which Starr pn rnptly famished
him with. 1 1st then went down the alley
to Sixth street, and seeing Baylls fired at
him, the officer at ouce returning the shot.
List then ran back into the kitchen closely
followed by Baylls, who, swearing and
threatening vengeance, attempted to force
open the door which List, from the inside,
endeavored to keep closed. Finally Baylis,
by superior streng* h, forced oped the door
and rushed into the room. Both men in
stantly began tiring, and two oi List's bul
striklng the policeman
in the left side of the neck, and the other
hitting him just under the left eyebrow and
penetrating to the brain. The latter wound
caused almost instant death, the victim fall
ing back upon the floor and expiring in a
few seconds. List im media ely afterwards
walked to the house of a friend on TatualJ
street'bclow Sixth, where he was arrested a
few minutes later by High Constable George
H. Aydelott.
List was tried at the ensuing term of
court, in November, but was acquitted, the
court (Judge Houston) bolding tuat thepo
I iceman had no right to enter the prisoner's
house in the violent manner in which he
did.

The Riotous Italian strikers Given a Hear
lng and Sent to Jail.
Before Esquire Bertoletle, Saturday after
uoor, the five Italian lailroad laborers who
assaulted and stabbed one of their fellows,
Anuello Rubino, as fully stated In the
Gazette, were given a hearing,
The man who did the stabbing gave his
name as Carlo Genio, but was better known
^ No. 100. He attempted to deny all
knowledge, but Rubino positively identified
him as the man who did the cutting. Sal
Marsala. No. 117, was identified as the
man w h 0 held Rubino, while the cutting
w|is being doi e. No. 77, Joseph Week, No.
6, Antonio Poleto and No. 31 Joseph Boletta,
were recognized as being around when the
cutting occurred.
The five bloodthirsty Italians were placed
uilder $400 bail for court and were com
m jtted in default. When they came to
realize what had happened, through their
interpreter they began showing how sorry
tli(.ty were by emitting the most mournful
ß0 unds, and Antonio Poleto, who took it the
hardest, allowed himself to get a fit of some
kiüd which made it uecessary for Coo6ta
hies Ward and Hanley, who made the ar
reèts, to exhaust their medical ability and a
bucketful of water in briugiug the grief
ß > nicken sinner to hl6 senses,
After accomplishing this they were
escorted to New Castle where they are at
present in jail waiting for th lr trial the lat
fer part of this month.
The interpreter said the men had struck
because the Stewarts were charging them 10
oeilita for a small loaf of bread and were
ou |y going to pay them $1 a day next month,
Be this as it may it did not justify them In
trying to get the other workmen to strike,
at (east the'Squire did not think so, hepce
the heavy bail aud subsequent committment.

nary Conference of Roman Catholic arch
bishops of the United States will be held at
the aichepiscopal residence here on Wed
nesday next. This conference is called for
the purpose of arranging the details of the
meeting of archbishops in Rome in October.
In three instances bishops will represent the
archbishops. One is in the diocese of Vin
cennes, Ind., where Bishop Chatard will
represent Archbishop Elder of Cincinnati.
The vacancy of Philadelphia will be filled
by Bishop O'Hara of Scranton and Arch
bishop Kendrick of St. Louis will be repre
sented by Bishop Ryan.
Archbishop Gibbons of Baltimore, Pri
mate of the Catholic Church in America,
will preside. After the conference, should
the Pope decide to call a Plenary Council,
the Archbishop of Baltimore will preside
and the conference will be held in the
Cathedral.
Bishop Becker of Wilmington left for
Rome last week, and it is understood gen
erally in Catholic circles here that when he
reaches the "Eternal City" he will have been
elected to the ecclesiastics 1 rauk of
an archbishop and wili take part in the de
liberations of the conference called by the
Pope. The fact that if a Plenary Council is
called Archbishop Gibbons will preside, is
regarded, as establishing the ecclesiastical
rank of the arch-episcopacy of Baltimore
over that of the on y cardinal in America;
as while Cardinal McCloskey ranks as a
prince, and would be entitle to vote at the
«•lection of a Pope, the Archbishop of Balti
more holds the place of primate of the
Church in America.
