Text	The corpse of the League Brotherhood scheme continues to kick spasmodically but nearly all the life is now out of it. It wouldn’t stand investigation. The plan looked nice on paper and the names of capitalists in the different cities that were to open their purses loomed up largely; but, unfortunately for the scheme, when these men were interviewed, they were astonished that they had in any way been mentioned in connection with the scheme. The schemers in this city were particularly unfortunate in naming these men, as ll of these gentlemen–Messrs. Snellenberg, Disston and Forepaugh–have denied in a most emphatic manner any intention of becoming backers of the Brotherhood club, and as far as this city is concerned it is safe to say the Brotherhood will meet with no encouragement.
