MIKE KELLY.
Beintendedtcccntinus his work with
his company at a Boston theater that
night, but feeling unable to do who
called on Dr. Galcuin at the Emergency
hospital. The physician pronounced his
disease acute pneumonia and ordered him
to bed. Until Wednesday the prospects
for his recovery seemed good, but during
the night he suflered a relapse and sank
rapidly, remaining in a hopeless condi-
tion until death came last evening.
King Kelly was born 87 years ago at
Paterson, N. J., and first gained promi.
‘ncncs as a bell player in Chicago in 1884
under Anson. when the latter‘s men were
pennant winners. In 1887 Boston paid
$10,000 for hie release, end from that
time Kelly was the idol of the Boston
cranks, and "Slide, Kelly, Slide!” was
the slogan of the routers. He continued
with Boston until the baseball war of
1890, when he joined the Brotherhood. In
1802 he again played with the Boston
team, end last year he went with New
York.
This year he was with the Allentown
team, which finished the season astho
Yonkers nine in the Eastern league. A
, few years ago Kelly was presented with
a residence at Hingham. a suburb of Bos-
ton, and a fine horse and carriage by his
Boston admirers. lie was one of the cen-
tral figures during the baseball war, and
when he left the Brotherhood it gave rise
to the statement that was made broad;
cast that the association had been defeated

flashes and points of brilliant lightl’.
While all were still wondering. probably
a minute alter the light had been shatter-
ed intc a thousand darts. there came a
low but distinct report, as of the firing of
a great gun at a distance of adoscn miles.

of mighty size. A majority of those who
saw the light assert that it came first into
view in its full strength, as if it had ap-
peared from behind a curtain, and not
faintly at first and gradually growing.
Heard to “lg Report.
It was visible through about 75 degrees
oi the are from meridian to horizon, ap-
pearing a little below the former and
bursting a little short of the latter. The
path of the flight was illuminated by a
brilliantly bright yellow light. but the
explosion shot out flashes and flames of
greenish yellow. points. alternating with
points of blue of the shade which is seen
when a live wire is shooting sparks.
The first person to some totown from
Kcnvil way in the morning was Jerry
Butler. He was just leaving his here
when the meteor exploded. He said the
flash was almost blinding and that it il-
luminated the whole heavens. He heard
the report distinctly and thought it must
have traveled 100 miles before it reached
him. He had no watch with him and so
had no idea of the time between the burst‘
ing of the light and the report, which he
thought must have been several 'min‘

PLAiNFll-ZlJl, N. J., Nov. 9. —- Late
Wednesday night the whole heavens were
vaguely lighted by a flash which did not
pcnctratc the fog at any point, but which
seemed to half illuminate it all and them
after a few act-ends leave it all in heavy
darkness. This preceded by about a min-
. ute a deep rumbling report, which was
heavy enough to awaken and alarm many
of the inhabitants,
.‘oi the Dynamite Works.
it was supposed that one of the powder
works within 10 or 15 miles had explod-
ed. but today brings no such news. and
it is believed that the strange illumina-
tion and report were caused by a meteor
or some other astronomical visitation.
Ksrwu, N. J.. Nov. li.~At about mid-
night Wednesday night several of the
workmen about the Atlantic dynamite
works saw what must have been a heaven-
ly visitor of unusual size. They say that
the appearance of a yellow shaft of light
which darted half way across the heavens
was followed by a fiery explosion, which
was bigger and brighter and more ve-
riously colored than any Fourth of July
fireWorks they ever saw. This fiery ex-
plosion was followed in turn by a boom-
ing report, as if a ton of dynamite had
been shot oil in a blast at a distance of
some miles. In a short time many tele-
phonic inquiries were received from
neighboring towns, where the flash and
report had aroused fears that the works
had blown up. it is supposed that the
phenomenon was caused by a meteor.

"I should have written you before new

any, were to be made in our Royal Yacht
association rating rule. However. as time
is running on. it would be well. i think,
that certain preliminaries should be dis-
cussed without committing myself dell-

One condition is that all dead to wind-
ward and leeward matches should be
started to windward. in the «send he
asks a reform in the measuring for load

be measured with all weights on board.

ry during a race, and no alterations be
made without 2i hours' notice; also that a
generous limit be fixed to the number oi

Dunraven makes one suggestion. how-
ever, that will raise a storm oi disap—

dition, be strongly urged that the chal-
lenge races be sailed of! Marbiehsad in-
stead of in the lower bay. Another re
quest was that the challenging club he
not confined to one vessel, but have the
same rights as the defenders in making
the selection.
The club decided that the conditions
could not be agreed to, and Secretary
Oddie stated that the races would have to
be called ofl Sandy Hook, the old course.
The application for a different rating was
considered, but was not decided upon. A
eahlegram was seat, but it will not be
made public until the next meeting of

meeting was held at Wesleyan chapel oi
the M. E. church, attended by 50 ministers
and 1,500 people, and prayers were offer-
ed for guidance. blessings and protection,
and the following was unanimously
adopted:
"At a time when the peace, prosperity
and even the very life, commercially
speaking, of a great city like New Orle-
eus is endangered by the ruthless hand of
the murderer, outlaw, arson and torch;
when the blood of half a score of defense-
less, law abiding citizens who have been
slaughtered in cold blood or wounded
nigh unto death by mob violence in the
open day and in the presence of those
whose duty it is to protect the defenseless
and preserve the peace of the city: when
the blood of these men is calling aloud
for redress at the hands of injured justice
and outraged law; when the only plea
thus far given oroven hinted by misguid-
ed violators oi the peace and perpetrators
of these atrocities is the fact ihat those
against whom these great outrages are
perpetrated are negroes and are incapable
of resentment of redress; when the rspro
sontatlves of civil government, municipal
and gubernatorial seem to act with a
measure of Indifference to such a condi-
tion of affairs, may it not well be said.

But the answer is close at hand There

unto him of whom the disciples said.
‘Thou heat the words of eternal lilo.’
Unto him, therefore, have we come this
