NEW YORK December 16.— Wall street yes- terday was swept by a speculative cyclone that upset its houses built of cards. It was one ofthe biggest days in the history of the Stock Exchange. It will go down in financial history by the side of Black Friday’’ and those days in 1873, when one great house after another fell, It willbe remembered as long as the 6th of May, 1884, when Grantand Ward and the Marine Bank failed, andthe day, one week later, when three banks, seven big banking houses, and several noted operators went tothe wall. Notthat yesterday’s panic is likely to be followed by the serious conse- quences of those memorable financial crashes. The day, in fact, was free from disaster, save one failure of minor importance. It was, however, a day of unprecedented liquidation. The transac- tions were larger than ever before in the his- tory of the street. The declines in prices were simply appalling, andthe losses were immense. That there was but one failure does not prove that there were not many losers. Many aman went home last night stripped of every dollar that he bad in the world. Theair was thick with rumors of im- pending failures and more than one firm must have escaped as by fire from ruin. As one broker said, ‘‘Manyaman was fortunate to- day to escape with his skin.’’ EXCITEMENT AT FEVER HEAT. The excitement was not so great as on the 13th of May before when Wall street was filled from Trinity Church to the Custom-house with a crowd of men half crazed by the day’s dramatic disasters. The excitement yester- day was confined to the Stock Exchange and the brokers’ offices, but there it prevailed at fever heat. The floor of the Exchange was a scene of tumult, rare even in that place of wild speculation. The immense dealings ren- dered deliveries very difficult and this added to the confusion. * offices of the biggest ete were filled anxious operator countenances the — — as ‘they roiled from the stock instruments. There were faces to be seen there such as may be seen around faro tables after a night of gambling. The los«es can only be estimated. The following was the depreciation on the value of the capital stocks of eight active securities from the closing —— Tuesday, to the lowest price yester- ay! HOW THE STOCK STOOD. Rates of De- icline—Pr. Ct. STOCKS. Depreciation. 9.900 1,575,000 Lackawanna . ' Canada Southern 1 ö 2 vO Pacific Mall „309. 00 Missouri Pacific 6 980.000 Manhattan 1 0 HOW THE DAY OPENED. . The depreciation in the other seventy stocks which declined would probably swell this total to $50,000,000. The general question was, } who lost this money? The day opened just as it left off Tuesday night in atamult of excitement. The pressure to sell atthe opening amounted to a craze. Every broker seemed to be filled with selling orders. Thecryinevery part of the room was, Sell, sell, sell. Stocks were offered in blocks of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and even 10,000 shares. The same stock sold at different rices in different parte of the room. In fteen minutes after the opens of business 148,000 shares had been sold. There have been many days in the “history of the Exchange when the entire transactions id not that total. In one half hour shares hads been sold and during ‘the first hour the déalings were 326,000. At noon the ‘‘tickers’’ had re- corded sales of 600,000 shares. That amount is usually esteemed a very active day’s busi- ness. But still the excitement continued. Between 12 andlo’clock 745,000 shares had been sold. At the close of business the record of the day’s transactions footed up 1,195,000 shares. his total exveeds that of any pre- vious day in the annals of the Exchange. But the actual dealings were undoubtedly larger. The tickers were unable to record all sales. Henry Clews estimates that at least 100,000 shares were sold of which there was no public record. The day’s stock transactions repre- sented an exchange of fully $119,500, 000. THE TIGHTNESS OF MONEY. Upto the last hour the day was one of continuous decline in the prices of stocks and of advancein the rates for money. As the day wore on stocks became cheaper and money dearer. The extraordinary tightness of money carried memo back to the war times and the panic of 1 At noon 2 per cent was bid for money.

There will be be a little improvement now, but there no boom until the new year has Charles A. Jones, the big room trader, who. has been a bear for some time past, summed uP the situation tersely: ‘‘Iama bull now. This is the time to buy stocks. Henry Ciews said: This is what may be called a Woerischoffer cyclone. The liquida- tion which culminated to-day, however, has been a wholesome one, and will serve to check wild and reckless speculation.’ Jesse Seligman said: ‘‘The worst is over. And he added that the banks by their converv- atism and caution had averted a worse panic than that of yesterday. It would not have come 80 soon but it would have been more disastrous. AFTER THE STORM NEw YORK, December 16. —Although there was an unusual numberof Wall street men at the Windsor Hotel last night it was a subdued and somewhat pensive assemblage. Positive opinions on the immediate future of the stock market were scarce, but the majority seemed to think that the worst had happened, and ail were mighty certain that a good many cus- tomers had gone down in the blast. It was averred that most ef the losses for the day fell on speculators in other cities, though it was conceded that there were several regiments of shorn ones in this city and 22 The immediate following of the late Baro Woerischoffer were 1 and Col. J. 0. ‘ Reiff, speaking for them, thought that to- day’ 8 market would depend largely whether any of the brokers had been seriously hurt in 4 ty ’s fracas. It was said that some ots had been almost rubbed bare. Mr. Ad- d son Cammack did not feel like talking, but he was jovial and more serene than fora long time. he Hon. Roswell P. Flower thought that the New York & New England affair had done much to precipitate the trouble. But above all that,’’ he added, ‘‘has been the fear of complications arising out of the Reagan bill. I am rather inclined to think that the bill, as heinous as it is, will be passed. Our railroads extend over a larger area than those of any other country on the ‘face of the earth and they have always been successfully managed, and the Reagan bill, putting the railroads practically in the hands of the Government, is undemocratic and harmful. A great deal of money was lost by weak bulls in the streets to-day, but I believe that —— the new year is ushered in there wil an improvement.’’ Mr. W. E. D. Vyse wanted to bet that stocks would not be aslow in three weeks as they were —— and taken altogether there were but faint dull streaks on the atmosphere, showing that the followers who believe in high p for stocks were not all dead by pM, * ket to-day was all the brokers ‘had baving quotations from London being tight’s close gave a firmer feel The ing operators are also. aha to have assured their friends that — 2 taken ste protect the stocks w wh they are a fied, and all — buying orders in the market.

SOLICITING FUNDS IN ENGLAND FOR WALT WHITMAN, THE POET. de Churchill-Salisbury Split on the Local | Government Bill The Famous Campbell Divoroe Case Nearly Closed—British Troops neut a Body of Dacoits in Burmah— Fereign News. fpecial Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Loxbox, December 16.—A _ circular has been issued, signed ‘‘Calamus,’’ which hides the name ot a well-known Scotch artist, who desires to remain anonymous. It is headed „Walt Whitman Starving, and appeals for subscriptions for him. It begins ‘‘A man’s ransom wanted. The victim is in the nands of a relentless enemy who, it the ransom be not y paid, will immediately make an end ofhim. Will his fellow men put forth a hand to keep one of the world’s immortais a little longer here, or will they allow death to take him ere his time? A copy of this has been sent to the editor of every leading paper here, accom- panying a letter from Mr. Underwood, the United States Consul at Glasgow, which con- firms the statement regarding Whitman’s needy circumstances. The circular has been wideiy and sympathetically noticed by the press and amovement has been started in Glasgow whereby a numberof young artists give each a picture to de sold by pubiic auc- tion, the proceeds to go to Whitman. A LOCAL GOVERNMENT MEASURE. Announcement was made this morning con- cerning a great Conservative measure for local government, which is supposed fo be about to exercise so vital an infiu- ence on the fortunes of the Oonserva- tives in the country. The an- nouncement shows still further the truth about the split in the Cabinet, to which I referred again yesterday. The local gov- ernment bill prepared by the Liberais—that is by Dilke—was left for the present Govern- ment. Churchill had persuaded the commit- tee of the Cabinet, in Salisbury’s absence, to adopt this bili, and with it the Radical elec- tion principle of local government. When Salisbury discovered this on his return, he appealed to the whole Cabinet against the decision of the committee. I learn that the struggle between Salisbury and his oligarchiste, and Churchill and his socialists, as they have been classed, was pro- longed and excited. Salisbury found himself in a bare majority. The bill, therefore, will not rest upon elective principles absolutely, and is certain to be rejected on the second reading in the House of Commons, if it ro- mains unchanged. If itis rejected the com- plete alienation of Churchill and twoor three other Cabinet Ministers from Salisbury and the old Tory party will be inevitable, with the obvieus results to the Government already pointed out. The Campbell Divorce Case. Loxrpowr, December 16.—In the Campbell di- vorce case to-day Dr. Bird testified that he had a long acquaintance with Lady Miles and the Biood family. He denied that he ever had any other relations with Lady Colin Campbell than those proper between a physician and patient. He had searched his instrument case and had found the letter from Lady Colin to him which Lord Colin’s nurse, Annie Duffy, had testified was there. DR. BIRD'S DENIALS. The letter was one which Lady Oolin had written when she was 10 years of age, and was a childish affair. Witness produced the letter. Witness never was at the Bow Concert, and never heard of the fur coat incident until the trial com- menced ; he attended the concert at New Cross at which Lady Colin sang. He went as one of the audience and sat in the body of the hall. Lady Colin broke down while singing. Witness then took ber to his house to procure foi her some medicine difficult to obtain elsewhere. Lady Colin leit fiVe minutes afterward. It was not true that he caressed the cab. When Lady witness that Lord Colin and his nurse alleged that Lady Colin had had a miscarriage, witness at once pronounced the statement an a infamous accusation and said that he would withdraw from the care of the lady un- less Lord Colin retracted the statement. In reference to the night witness remained so long at Lady Colin’s bedside, he said he had administered opium to her, and while waitin fer the outcome feli asleep in an armchair. It bad been hospital day and HE WAS VERY TIRED. Lord Colin awoke him, but the suggestion that there was any impropriety in witness’ conduct was groundless. The coun for Gen. Butler, another of the co-respondents, said he would not call the General, because, he submitted, no testimony had been produced which incriminated him. MUST PROVE HIS INNOCENCE. The judge said there was evidence against him. He would say nothing regarding its strength, butifGen. Butier was innocent, he ought to come to court and say so. be Duke of Mariborough’s counsel sub- mitted that no testimony had been produced establishing the slightest impropriety between the Duke and Lady Colin. Chieti Shaw’s counsel appealed to the court to say whether his client was not a witness of truth and honor. Gen. Butler’s counsel denounced the stories —— by the servants regarding his client as surd. Dr. Bird’s counsel contended that there was but one witness to sustain the charge against his client and she wasthe malicious old wom- an, Annie Duffy. No man’s honor could be secure and the condition of society would be intolerable, if such stories as those of Annie Duffy were to be believed without the strong- est possible kind of corroboration.

Soon after the Administration changed a man named Smith of Mississipp!, a friend of Secretary Lamar, was appointed. The con- eulate is worth $1,500a year. Smith accepted the piace and started for his post. He never arrived there. He disappeared on the journey and has never been heard of since. His bag- gage arrived at Montevideo, and our Minister there wrote to the State Department con- cerning the missing Consul, who never claimed his baggage. The next ap- pointment to this place was an office- seeker from Indiana named Elliston. He heard there was only one person in Ascension who could speak English and that the ladies of the high society of the town walked about barefooted. Before this appalling picture his sensitive soul shrank and he resigned before the State Department could give him any in- structions. Day befere yesterday Mr. Walton of Kentucky was appointed to this consulate. He heard all the stories about the place after his nomination was sent to the Senate. He procured a clerkship in the Treasury instead of the consulship. Once morethe Ascension consulate is open for ambjtious politicians who desire to serve their country abroad. VAN WYCK AFTER ENDICOTT. Senator Van Wyck’s resolution of inquiry yesterday, directed against the Secretary of War, will trouble Mr. Endicott to answer. The inquiry relates to the Missouri River, for which $300,000 was appropriated by Congress last season. The bill provided that the money should be disbursed in specific sums at a number of fixed places along the river. The War Department has disbursed the money at two places, $225,000 going to Kansas City and $75,000 to St. Joseph. Mr. Endicott will be asked to explain why he disobeyed the law in taking the money from places authorized by — — to place it where it was not au- thor PLATT’S RESOLUTION. Senator Piatt’s resolution in favor of abol- ishing the executive sessions of the Senate is certainly gaining strength.

WASHINGTON, D. O., December 16.—The canvass going on by the Morrison and Randall factions relative to the proposed considera- tion of the tariff bilis, is becoming more ex- citing as the time for consideration ap- proaches. There is almost an uuparalleled strife between the two leaders. Although their seats are not six feet apart they treat each other as strangers. Mr. Randall spent most of the day yesterday in his seat, having in charge the sundry civil-service bill. Morrison took advantage of his rival’s en- agement and was busy from noon until ad- ournment in close consultation with the revenue reformers. Conservative members think that if Mr. Morrisen can rally bis entire strength on Saturday he will carry the consideration. There are a number of members absent, and ali depends upon their coming. It is impossibie to be paired as the opponents will not consent. Mr. Randall is not withont confidence, and appears sanguine, as does Mr. Morrison. His lieuten- ant. Mr. McAdoo of New Jersey, who is the most active of the Randall faction, says it is worse and more uncertain than horse racing. Anumber oftheir men are absent, thoug they hope to have them al! here when the vote istaken. There are still some who have not committed themselves while others want to be onthe winning side. Every man is looking out for himself. There aré anumber who are seeking to be in a position to hold the balance of power. This is particularly true of G and St. Martin of Louisiana. They have no interest beyond the sugar issue. The side that will yield them the continuation of the present tariff on their small sugar produc- tion will have their supbort on all other tariff questions. Mr. Randall 1, no doubt, con- trol the Virginia and North lina delega- tions. They occupy a similar position to that of the Loutsianamembers. Virginia and Nortn Carolina want the internal revenue tax taken off tobacco and fruit brandies. Wilkins, War. ner, Foran, Geddes, and Senney of Ohio will favor the that agrees wool. It Mr. Morrison will make concessions on the sugar, wool and tobaceo questions he would have no trouble in having the remainder of the bill passed Crain's Clients. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch.

A Jury Empaneled To-Day to Try Jerry Pagels for Murder. The challenges from the panel of forty- seven jurors inthe Jerry Pagels case were made in the Criminal Court this morning, and the twelve men to try the case selected. As Judge Normile would not allow the court sten- ographer to report the case on account of the amount of unfinished business he has on hand Mr. Kinealy, the attorney appointed by the Court to defend Pagels, employed cy short - hand reporter at his own expense. This is the ‘‘tannery’’ murder. Pagels, who was foreman of a tan- nery in South St. Louis and was a drunken, indolent fellow, was jealous of a man named Samuel Kohn, who was employed at a rival tannery near by and who, by hard work and in- dustry, had secured some of Pagels’ trade. On the 12th of November, 1885, the latter laid in wait for Kohn, and just as the man emerged from thedoor of the place where he was employed, which was located on Sidney, between Bismarck and Third streets, poured a volley into him froma shot- gun. ohn dropped and soon died, and Pagels was afterward heard to remark that he was glad the —— was dead. Insanity will be the defense. THE TESTIMONY. Dr. Nidelet testified to the post-mortem ex- amination and to the cause of death. Dr. Spiegeihaliter, who attended Kohn, testi- fledto the nature of the wound and to taking his ante-mortem statement, in which Kohn stated that he was at work in the hide-house when he was told some one wanted to see him atthe door. When he went there he found Pagels with a shot-gun. Pagels immediately leveled the weapon at him and shot him down. James Mulien, an employe of Norman L. Browns hide house, where Kohn was em- ployed, testified to calling Kohntothe door at Pagels’ request, and to Pagels’ shooting Kohn when he came. Christ Luitkel stated that Pagels was dis- charged from Brooks’ hide house, of which he had deen foreman, on the day of the murder and that he (Luitkel) took his place. About7o’clock in the even- ing Pagels passed through with a shot-gun, and fifteen minutes later passed through again with the gun, remarking: I have shot that —— —— down there. Lambert Metzger testified to Pagels leaving the gun in his store, on South Broadway that evening, and returning no more for it. Wiliam Obermark said he worked at Brooks’ up-town office. Pagels had called up that morning and received the money due him. He seemed to think Luitkel responsible for his losing his position, and stated that if he was certain such was the case he would blow the top of his head off. He left, stating be intended starting a butcher shop. A recess was then taken for dinner. Ja the afternoon Ferd. Amand was placed on the stand and said he was in Brooks’ hide house when Pagels passed through with the gun the second time, and he understood him to say „have shot that — — of a Jew.“ Detective Emmett testified to arreatin S to his confessing he had Killed Kohn because he had got all his business. Pagels remarked that he had left town in order to avoid being present at the inquest, as he did not want to see anything more of Kohn, dead or alive.

THE WABASH RECEIVER APPOINTED TO- DAY BY JUDGE GRESHAM. Jay Gould Has Nothing to Say About the Successors of Messrs. Humphrey & Tutt— Wager Swayne Fights for Delay, but Judge Gresham Refuses It. CHICAGO, December 16.—Judge Gresham in the United States Circuit Court this afternoon appointed Judge Cooley of Michigan to be receiver of the Wabash Railway in accordance with his recent decision. Judge Thomas M. Cooley is a resident of Ann Arbor, Mich., and is an ex-member of the Supreme Court ot that State. The appointment of Judge Cooley to be receiver to succeed Solon Humphreys and Thomas E. Tutt was determined upon by Judge Gresham afterashurt hearing in which it was disclosed that the contending interests would be unable to agree upon any one person for receiver, the suggestions made by each side being rejected by the other party in interest. FIGHTING FOR DELAY. Before appointing a receiver, Judge Gresham was asked by Gen. Wager Swayne, counsel for the deposed receivers for time the purpose of making a few suggestions. o proposed that the Purchas- ing Com miitee be allowed to pay all the receiv- er's certificates except tnose not the current accounts covered by the mortgage of 1867. would, he sald, make a motion for an order upon condition of payment of all receivers’ certificates, as far as as due, to secure the remainder as they mature, and to pay all indebtedness not covered by the mort- gage of 1867 on all liens east of the Mississippi. Attorney Crawford, for the first-mortgage bondholders denounced the proposition as an ingenuous scheme sprung ata moment when least expected. A decree, he said, had been drawn up and would be presented, which gave the receivers plenty of time between now and the close of the month to settle their business and turn it over to the new receiver. That committee proposed to use $2,500,000 to pay off an indebtedness, and claimed that a majority of the stockholders of the Chicago division were agreeable. THE RECEIVERS MUST GO. Judge Gresham stopped tne controversy by saying that the Court had already held that the present receivers should not be continued in office. He expected the new receiver he should appoint to be ofan accommodating disposition and one who would take the prop- erty and do the best he could with it. ‘‘After thinking the matter over,’’ he said „don't think anything could be gained by — ing the matter, I will then appoint udge Cooley of Michigan. Gould Not So Talkative. New Tonk, December 16.—An attempt was made this afternoon to learn what Jay Gould thought of the new receiver for the Wabash road.

NEW ORLEANS, La., December 16.—Fully forty-five of the passengers and crew of the ill-fated steamer J. M. White are still missing. Of these thirty are negro laborers, who took passage onthe boat atthe landing just above the point where the accident occurred. It 18 believed that at least twenty of them per- ished. Capt. J. F. Muse, the commander of the steamer, was ill in his room the time the fire was discovered! He says he was awakened by the alarm and ran from his room to the upper deck to find that retreat to the deck below was already cut off by flames. Hoe swung out from the upper deck ona chain and in this way reached the bank. Afterward he tried to return and assist those sttil on board, but discovered that he would lose his own life if he persisted. He then organised a relief force from the bank and superintended the sailor, Pierson, in the yaw! to rescue those struggling in the water. Pierson’s conduct during the confusion was most heroic. Push- ing way through the crowd of shrieking passengers at the yg, stern, he cut the yawl loose from its fastenings, and after a desperate struggle lowereg it tothe water. Four negroes jum ped into th8 boat and cut the painter, butthe sailor forced them back, and taking twenty human beings into the yawl, he landed them safe on shore. Then rowing quickly back he saved twenty more. On the third trip he rescued nine, andon the fourth trip three. * tho time he reached the shore the last trip, alf that remained of the steamer was ber hull. Capt, Muse said last night that he did not think that more thas five of the cabin passengers and ten of the deckhands had perished. His esti- mate is regarded as very low. Three Seamen Lost. NEw BEDFORD, Mass., December 16.—A let- ter from the bark Mermaid from this port re- the Indian Ocean, three of the crew were lost, the cooper.

The Exhibition ef the Mississippi Valley Poultry Club atthe Expositien Building— Native and Imported Birds of Great Value ~The Largest Chicken Show Ever Gwen in the Valley—The Entries and Exhibitors— Description of the Fowls. The second annual exhibition of the Missis- sippi Valley Poultry Club opened this morn- ing at the Exposition building in the nave consecrated to roller rinks and dog shows, but with all its records the apartment has never had a better or more moral exhibition than the one there at present. The birds are in separate pens, except in cases where the association bas met with the approval of their owners and has been indorsed by issue of repute. There are representative delegations from every breed that ig recognized by fanciers; Asiatics, Americans, games, Spanish, Hamburgs, French, Polish, eto, embracing the Brahmas, Cochins, Langshans, Wyan- dottes, Plymouth Kocks, Javas, Houdans and Leghorns. Through the whole collection, however, there seems to run a predominating strain offoghorn. There are continual calls for the officer of the guard and evidences of an ever present desire to change the patrol. The largest 1 class in the ex- hinition is of the Light Brahmas from the Asiatics, Next come the Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes. The popularity of the Brah- mas ig due to their industry, sobriety and other qualifications of good — 22 When other birds are inclined knock off on account of cold vather and perhaps insist on working only Halt time, the Brahmas will put in a full day, and their output keeps up notwithstanding any passing scarcity of the raw material. The Brahmas make a season contract, and put their goods in the hands of the jobbers all the ear round at the same rates. The Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes have an enviable reputation in the same direction but they don’t get in as much over-time as the first named. THE EXHIBITS. The largest exhibitors of Light Brahmas is Mrs Judy of Edwardsville, III., who sends 150 ofthe beauties tothe show. Frank Le of Collinsville has six — the same and Mr. H. ° of Decatur also sends six pens. twenty-nve pens of Buff Cochins E.

This tendency to apoplexy has been handed down from father to sohlet in the Buff Cochin family for generations. The cocks are rotund and sleepy and the hens have side whiskers on their feet.

Simpson as Su- perintendent of the Money Order Division, Postmaster Hyde will take from the Government service one whose ad- ministration of his department has given the St. Louis office the first rank the post-offices of the sountry,. money order division is considered the most Important inthe postal affairs, as the volume of business transacted through it Das grown to vast proportions. The division in St. Louis onthe average handles more money daily thanany bank in the city, being frequently the footing 8 receipts. What Gen. Simpson as done for this great agency for — - money is best told by the Superintendent of the Money Or- der Department in Washington, who said a year and a half ago: „We used to consider Baitimore as having conducted money order division in the ser- vice, but St. Louis now holds that place. The stroke that pushed St. Souls to the front so suddenly was the carrying out of the happy idea of uniting the money-order offices and the clearing-house. The scheme originated at the st. Louis office, and no mention was made of it until Gen. Simpson had it in full operation. The Government sent an inspector right on from Wash- ington, with instructions to visit every city having a clearing-house and consider the feasibility of applying the there. The inspector visited Gen. son’s office and 40 forcibl the innovation commend itself to the Govern- ment, that when the inspector swung around again he had the scheme in full operation in fifteen cities. Gen. Simpson has been in the money de- partment of the post-office for thirteen years, beginning as a clerk in the registry office, and passing through the grades till he reached the penne Sener. In this long period of service not a cent of the vast sums that have come under his charge has been lost. that fearful campaign. He reach the rank of brevet Lieutenant-Colonel of a Mis- sour! regiment, and at the close of the war was made Adjutant-General under Gov.Fietch- er's administration. A CASE OF PURVIEW. It has been generally stated that this is simply a resignation. but the fact is that a letter was written toGen. Simpson by Postmaster Hyde conveying the announcement that under a re- organization of the money order division first year his services would no Postmaster thought the appointment of Mr. O. ©. Anderson, an old acquaintance, would bring the affairs of the division more closely under his purview. , Mr. Anderson will be succeeded as assist- ant supérintendent by Theodore Ensign, pro- mo from a clerkship. ‘Magnificent!

JUDGE EDWARDS DECIDES THAT THE BAL- LOT-BOXES MUST BE OPENED. aes on Recorder Hoblitzelle Issued This Morning—Valliant’s Counsel Makes For- Writ—Recorder mal Objection to the Hobbs’ Appointments—Meeting of the St. Leuis Delegation—Local Political Gossip. Judge W. W. Edwards of the St. Louis County Circuit Court this morning rendered a decision on the application for a writ com- pelling the Recorder of Voters to open the ballot- boxes in the Klein-Val- liant contested election case. The decision was in conformity with the Judge’s remarks published in the Post-DISPATCH on the occa- sion of the hearing of argument on the appii- cation last Monday, and wasin favor of Mr. Klein. The writ issued under the seal of the Court reads as follows: State of Missouri: To the Recorder of Voters of the City of St. Louis: You are hereby commanded to open, count, compare with the list of voters and examine all the ballots in — office which were cast at the general election held in the City of 8. Louis and State of Missouri on Tuesday, the second day of November, 1886, and to make return ofand certify under your hand and official seal to this Court the result of such count, comparison and ex- amination, so far as the same relates to the office of Judge of the Circuit Court, City of St. Louis, for the term of six years beginning on the first Monday in Jan- uary, 1887, and in so certifying you shall in- telligibly distinguish between ballots which were counted and those which were rejected. And you shail permit the contesrtor, Jacob Klein. and the contestee, Leroy B. Valliant, and their respective attorneys to fully exam- ine the said ballots. And in making such re- turn to this Court ou shall include all the facts which Jacob Klein, contestor. or roy B. Valliant, contestee, may desire, which may appear from said ballots, affecting or relating to the election for said office. Mr. Breok Jones, who appeared for Judge Valliant, objected to the right of the Court to make such a writ; objected to the form of the writ and to the contents of the writ, especially to that part ofthe writ authorizing the Re- corder to count the ballots. The Court appointed Mr. W. F. Broadhead of St. Louis County commissioner to take * in the contest, dut deferred issuin netructions to the commissioner. Mr. Broadhead is a brother of James O. Broadhead of this city. He was the Demo- cratic candidate for Circuit Judge against Judge W. W. Edwards. The writ on the Recorder will be served on Recorder Hoblitzelle by Sheriff Henry Har- rington. The count must be commenced within thirty days from to-day, five days’ — having been previously given to both parties. Recorder Hobbs’ Appointments. Recorder-eiect W. A. Hobbs has selected his corps of assistants and will entertain no more applications for positions in his office. With the exception of thirteen copyiste, whose names he prefers not to make public, Mr. Hobbs’ appointments are as follows: Chief Deputy, John F.

How the Latest School of Moralists Was Started—Prof. Felix Adler—Foundation of His Life’s Work-—The Society in New York Its Origin and Work—The Louis Or- ganization—How It Was Started—The Om cers and Members—An Interesting sume ef the Movement, f The formation in 88. Louis of a society for ethical culture has aroused interest in the liberal movement which is expegted by its adherents to take the place ot creed and church for those who eannot su be to any of the established systems ot religious belief and to accomplish practical work of value to soolety at large. Fr a gentleman who is thoroughly — the beginning and progress of thé movement, a thorough sketch of it has been obtained, Ethical culture, which has been talked about so much during the last five years, does not claim to be a new thing. The name itself has a reference to & definite organization which has arisen in the last few years, but the teachers in that organization look much far- ther back for the rise of the spirit, which they themselves represent. The movement really started in its modern form at the close of the last century, and from that time down to the present it may be said thatthe ethical spirit has been gaining ground rapidly in all coun- tries. Perbaps the first great work which has appeared on the subject modern times comes from Emanuel Kapt. He turned en- tirely about from the old way of treating the subject and gave to morality a system of philosophy for itself. Whatever theol- ogy he retained, lhe retained as flow. ing out of the idea of morality and the needs of moral consciousness instead of taking it from the traditional records which have come down from a remote antiquity. Another great writer followed Kant at the beginning of the century, the well-known Fichte. A little later the interestin the sub- ject arose in France. Victor Hugo asa poet and novelist is certainly in the spirit of ethical culture. It was worked up intoasystem of r by the French Positivist Auguste omte. It comes much nearer home to us in the great — writers, George Eliot and Jonn Stuart Mill. In this country its spirit * said to have its origin in the writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Ralph Waldo Such alist of names is ve sig- If itis a fact as the lecturers 2 this Writers are really in asense forerunners of that work then it certainly enhances its importance and gives it a foundation in history. But these writers were isolated thinkers. What the workers in this movement for ethical culture wish to do is to have this ethical spirit crys- talized into a new religious organization. The founder of the work is PROF. FELIX ADLER of New York City. He is the son of the Rabbi Adler, who was the leader of the Fifth Avenue Hebrew Temple of New York City. It was ex- pected that he was to succeed his father in their own temple. He had been educated with that thought in mind. He was sent abroad to complete his education, but the effect of study in Germany stripped him of his ancestral creed, and ancestral religion. He came back to New York and appeared be- fore the people in their great temple, and ad- dressed them on his own convictions. He was never asked to ees before them again. He was no longer a Hebrew. He stepped forth as the advocate ofa widely different standpoint in religion. He had become imbued with this ethi spiritin Germany. Theré were those there who were stirred by his attitude. A little later several of the gentlemen who knew of his position invited him to address them at the Standard Hallin New York City. This was ten years ago last spring—in 1876. There he laid down his attitude of deed and not creed; character as the test of a man’s worth and not his theological belief; conduct the thing te be worked for; the standard of con- duct the thing that is to be found out and established in the world. Practically i¢ was morality apart from theology. It was not a mere feeling but some- thing which philosophy. dad taught. him which he had gathered from the study ot human consciousness itself. This was in sub- stance his platform. Then and there it was resolved to organize a society, which would stand on this basis. It was the Society for Ethical Culture for New York City, It began witb the small membership of 128. Gradually the interest in the thing was aroused and the membership increased. At the end of the first year it was 178, at the end of two years 268, and at the end of the tenth year it had risen to above 600. The society had been compelied to withdraw from the hall it had occupied at first because of its inadequate size, to one of the leading public halls of the city, Chickering Hall, which has a seating capacity of 1,250. THE AUDIENCES INCREASED, the interest widened until now Sunday after Sunday Chickering Hall is filled with peo ple who come to listen to the ad- dresses of Prof. Adler. It did not con- tinue very long a personal movement. There gradually gathered around the leader a coterie of young men, who were desirous of entering the work. with Prof. Adler. Two of them, after a brief study with him, went abroad to finish their education in foreign universities. Two of them had just returned from these universities, when they entered the work with Prof. Adler in New York City. This coterie of young men were the nucleus of the fraternity of ‘ethical cultare teachers. They are now five in number. Three years ago, after the first society had been seven years in existence things were ready for the organization of a new society in Chicago. Mr. W. M. Salter was cailed to be ites lecturer. A year ago last spring another society was organized in Philadeiphia, with Mr. G. B. Weston as its lecturer, There was nowsuch a thi as a movement. Things were ready for an organization. The hour had arrived for the tenth anniversary of the Society for Ethical Culture in New York. Delegates arrived trom the societies in Ohicago and Philadeiphia, with their lecturers. These delegates stood on the plat- form at the celebration of the tenth anniversary, last May. A meeting of — — was held. resolutions were adopted formulating a constitution for the organization. That constitution has been pre- pared. There is now a union of the societies for ethical culture. The first application for ad- mission to that Union is from the new society in St. Louis. Three years ago eas steps had been taken in this city. of. Adler had been invited to lecture before the public at Memorial Hall 4nd the plaus were then de- vised to immediasely 2 a society in St. Louis. But ong the people who came together at that time there were a t many who went into itundera misapprehension of what it was, who really did not understand the thing itself. There was no one ready at that time to take the leadership of the society, and for this reason the effort at that time sub- sided. Last April a number of gentiemen met one of the lecturers, Mr. 8. B. Weston, at the office of Mr. Charles Nagle in this city. It was decided to invite one of their number, MR. W. T. SHELDON, to come on and give a course of lectures in May. After the celebration in New York, where this gentioman had deen one of the speakers, he came on and gave three addresses at Memorial Hall in the interest of the ethical culture movement. The subject was revived before the ple of St. Louis through the interest thus awakened. A temporary mittee was appointed, which went to work during the summer tolearn what people would be desirous to found a society in st. Louis. It was found that there was a strong and influ- ential support for it inthis city. f. Adler was invited to come out and address the pub- Emerson. nificant. new movement ciaim that these movement.

It is claimed that this movement is semethi widely apart from ordinary radicalism. though — from the churches it is in no sense icon 0. It claims to be somethi strictly positive. It claims to be an edu movement, and it has undoubtedly won the 8 and aup- port of educated people in this and other large cities of the country. It divides its work into three very distinct departments—its philanthropic work—its classes tor ethical in- struction—ite — morning addresses. The Oharitable work of the society of New York is known all over the country. it has been con- clusively shown that the spirit of philan- or? as truly at the heart of liberalism, as it ls at the heart of thechurches, The work ofthe society in New York was begun by starting a free kindergarten—the first or sec- ond of the kind in the city. It was begun as a very simple attempt for the children of the working classes, with one teacher and eight pupils. From being sim- ply a kindergarten, it developed into a school ten system was carried into the whole educa- tional methods of the school. The highest kinds of instruction were introduced. The children are not enly one the ordinary rudiments of school life, but drawing, art modeling and manual training. The in- struction is entirely oral. The idea which lay at the basis of the thought of the ethical culture movement was carried over here into the system of the education of the young. The aim will be to develop the children than simply to in- struct them ; to call the ideas as far as possible out of the minds of the children themselves; to develop from within outward rather than to follow the old method. This school has been an astonishing success. From starting with eight pupils and one teacher in a hired room it now nas al a 1 of its own put u at an expense of $80,000, about three hundre and fifty pupils ranging from 8 to 14 years of age, taught at an annual expen- diture of nearly $20,000, raised by charitable subscriptions. It receives support not only from those who are instructed in the ethical culture movement, but large contributions from those who are in the churoebes. It isa charitable work of the highest magnitude founded by liberal men standing on this plat- from of ethical culture. The name of the lecturer in New York is well known in other works of charity. The tenement house re- form movement he has also led until that finally became an organization to construct ample tenement houses for the poor. A family asylum for orphan. chi- dren by which to avoid the unfortunate tendencies of the huge orphan institutions, and make rather of the children little groups or families of a dozen each. This also was the idea of Prof. Adler and this is the pian of the little family orphan asylum which is managed by the young men and . women ofthe society in New York City. The society in Chicago lent its energies for the time to the idea of district nursing among the poor. It associated nurses with the Dispensary, which should go to the sick among the poor with as- sistance and support, which otherwise could only be had by the rich. At present, how- ever, the society in Chicago is pushing rather for its own internal development. Mr. Sheldon. who realizes something definite within his own — inthe very lives of higher practi- cal moral life which the movement so strongly advocates, proposes it he can, to develop an inner circle of the society which shall en- deavorto live up to some extent to a higher code of ethics than is common inthe worid. The society in Philadelphia undertakes this in another way. It has divided itself in to sections. There is a home section, a business and a young men’s section. Members can join sections attheir option. These groups meet separately on one Sunday iu the moath for the special study and discussion of the ethics of their special work in life. THE NEW SUNDAY-SCHOOL. The idea of a new kind of Sunday-school has attracted a great deal of attention. This is one ef the strong features of this new move- ment—to alter methods of religious instruc- tion and also te alter the kind of religious in- struction. Instead of 2 the children ideas of tneology, which may have no vivid interest to them, the plan is rather to teach them first the duties which are nearest to them and to awaken in them an interest in the practical duties of life and to arouse in them a tense of loyalty to right for its own sake. The course of instruc- tion covers several years. The teachers generally begin with children of 10 or 12 years, taking up stories and fables and eliciting from the children their own moral lessons, awaken- ing in the children moral judgments without endeavoring atthe start necessarily to fix these judgments into ideas. Later comes a course of instruction in the series of life duties. Oneafterthe other of the duties of life are taken up. The children are asked to analyze them and make their own application ofthem and thus develop out of their own moral consciousness a system of right living and right doing. At the close of the course comes a brief sketch of the history of religious ideas, and studies In biography which shall teach the children as they grow older to epply moral principles to the broad facts of life, and also to show them that these principles rest on well-ascertained authority—the authority of conscience itself, One of the most affecting scenesiin the history of this movement was the graduation exer- cises of the ethical class nearly two years ago in the New York society. A number of young ladies who had been several years in this course of training appeared before the society, read papers on various subjects in which they were instructed in their course, and then were ad- dressed by Prof. Adler in perhaps the most moving words he ever uttered. This is the feature ofthe work which teaches the home life and undoubtedly the women will appre- ciate it. The most promineat and important feature of the whole work is the Sunday morn- ing addresses. It is the idea that a number of thoroughly educated men, who have studied at bome and at foreign universities on the subjects of political science and economics ,sociological ethics, compara re- ligion and in the history of philosophy,should take up the great practical moral issues of the day and treat them from a broad , ethical standpoint. Even in the universities the teachers are not free, and doubtless it would cost many of them their official d ey were to = etree | what they think. That, at least, is the conviction of this movement. Its leaders claim that the clergy are nottrained to speak on these speci have deen educated to points of theology. the world wants somethi than theology. Theyadoptthe tim custom, therefore, of appropri morning of Sunday for the consid great moral and religious prob! teachers claim to treat these problems not as agitators. but from a standpoint of principle, to deal with them freely and boldly, but from a scholarly standpoint and always with the needs of the hour in mind. IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISES they have music and reading, as they believe that music has no creed, but is the property of those who know how to use it. Music is to express for them in feeling what the speakers might express in words. The object of the s to connect the word of the hour show, in fact, are advocating, this fact for its own sake, this idea of * ethics independent of theology, which has been gathering force from the ear est times, which the great poets and miads of earlier days have been moreor less vaguel or explicitly giving expression to, and w is now crystalizing into adefinite utterance, into something like a system of religion. The teachers, therefore, aspire to something more than merely stating the fact of morality. They try an al ther new method. They are not theosophists, they are not theologians, they claim to be eo men. They claim the thing which y are adv is a purning, practical issue. The philaa lo work of the society is not the purpose of the movement, but the essential outeome of it, but they claim it is this which has shown it to bea thing of worth, to have | more in it than ideas, to have that kin in it which affect the lives of men.

When the incorporators first applied for the franchise they contemplated using a portion of the Missouri and the Citizens’ Railroad companies’ tracks along Grand avenue foran aggregate distance ot about one mile. Nearly all of this distance is covered by the Citizens’ tracks from the intersection of Easton avenue northward. The president of this company asked that the franchise be awarded to his company. Mr. D. P. Rowland of the Tower Grove & Fair Ground Company offers to transfer passenger to down-town roads ſor 7 cents per trip. The uestion arises as to how far the unicipal Assembly can compel intersecting lines to accept transfer passengers at5 cents each, and if they can be compelied to furnish M going west with transfer tickets or e north and south line on & tender of 7 cents. The committee will meet at 8 p. m. to-morrow toreceive Mr. Bell’s — as to the rights of the Municipal Assembly to make an arrangement between the companies for the benefit of passengers. Causing Trouble. The Dorsett conduit bill has caused some feeling on the second floor ofthe City Hall. There are several questions of veracity con- nected therewith. The Company's agents made no concealment ot their displeasure at the Mayor’s action in vetoing t bill, while His Honor was a littie warm about offering a friendly suggestion to cover the ommission by taking individual bonds to protect the city, and then being left without any further advice on the subject. It develops now that the bill intended for the Mayor’s signature never did have the bond ee which it was represented had en left out in the shuffle. the bill went to the Council Committee the projectors were notified of the omission, but failed to take any action. The Oouncilmen and city officers resent the insin- uations made, and charge that the omission was intentional. : Revised Ordinances. The clerical force of the Municipal Assem- bly is worrying over a large undertaking. Under the charter the ordinances of the city must be revised every five years. The work of eliminating the repeated ordinances, and inserting the new laws has been entrusted toalawyer whose work is incorporate in ao ordi- nance which is presented to the Assembly, read and referred to a committee. The present ordinances fill a volume of 1,179 — The additions are as much again. any of the ordinances have been repealed which will leave the new volume about 2,000 2 These must be regularly engrossed y the clerks, making an immense work. fact the work is so extensive that there is a disposition in the present Assembly to post- —— the work until after April, when it will evolve on the newly-elected members. Indentured Children. This morning Mavor Francis received a call from two young colored men, with whom he remained in consultation for some time. Eight years ago two incorrigible colored boys were picked up on the streets,and committed to the House of Refuge. Two years later the boys were indentured toa farmer named A.J.Scimmons of Scott County Missouri, with aine until their days ago, when they received $60 each and two suits of clothes, according to the eement. They came to the city to receiye a little money left them by their mother, after which they will return to the employ of Mr. Scimmons as farm hands under pay. Some time agole boywasjreturned from Sikes- town to the Refuge and told a story of mis- treatment, which a number of the boys in- dentured in that vicinity nad received. A man was detailed to go down to that ras ofthe State to inquire into the truth of the statements made by the boy and reported to the Board of Manag- ers a short time ago. It was on this subject Mayor Francis talked to the boys this morning, as they had every oppor- tunity to know exactly the condition of their fellows about the county. They said that the boys were generally well treated by the farm- ers, and completely satisfied His Honor of the wisdom of sending these boys to the country from the House of Refuge. Stor that cough.

By Telegraph to the Post-DispatTcnu. New Tonk, December 16.—John Roach is dying. His family have endeavored to keep the critical condition of his health a secret for reasons of more than a purely sentimental nature. But at last they have practically given up all hope of his recovery, and eit watching at his bedside to bestow what little comfort they can to smooth his dying pillow. The information of Mr. Roach’s fatal sick- ness was conveyed by a relative of the family, and he also stated so much secrecy was ob- served thatit would not surprise him if the servants declared it to be without foundation. „But it is nevertheless a fact, he added, and by judicious inquiry you will find the situation as I have stated. He may have only a few hours to live, and again there is a slight chance that he may last for another week.’’ Silence and solicitude pervaded the elegant residence of Mr. Roach, as a man servant yes- terday opened the door and listened to the in- quiry of a reporter to see some member of the household. They are all engaged, said the servant, and I’m forbidden to disturb them. He consented, however, to take a message asking about the health of the noted ship- builder. Ina minute he returned and said he was instructed to say that Mr. Roach was in good health. There was in fact NOTHING UNUSUAL IN HIS CONDITION. As the message was given, a gentie pull at the belli announced that some visitor desired admittance. An elderly gentieman with snowy white haircame in the hall, removed his hat and overcoat, without uttering a word. Then he approached the staircase, as one who was acguainted in the house. The reporter re nized him as Dr. E. B. Belden, the ily physician of Mr. Roach. have just been inquiring about the health of Mr. Roach. I understand he ie very low,“ ventured the reporter. Without learning the exact situation Dr. Belden replied: ‘‘Yes, be is undoubtedly ina 474-4 condition, since the last operation. hope he will rest easier to-day.’’ The phy- siclan went on to say that Mr. Roach might die at any moment. There was, in fact, little prospect of staying the ravages of his fatal malady. Mr. Roach is suffering from a cancer in the throat similar to that which caused the death of Gen. Grant. An operation was re- cently rformed, at which a considerable pass of the jaw was removed, but his suffer- ngs continue to be very severe. The physi- cian has for the last weck called twice a day, and yesterday his visits extended for over an hour. John Roach made an assignment on July 18, 1885, to George Quintard and Geo. E. Week. Thefailure was ascribed directly to the refusal of Secretary Whitney to accept the dispatch boat Dolphin, Mr, Roach © an assignment with his bondsmen AS PREFERRED CREDITORS.

Bowman, the Philadelphia lawyer interested in the defense of Henry Schwartz, alias Mayhew, charged with bigamy, and suspected of the Rock Island train robbery, left for home last night. Before leaving Col. Bowman said that Schwartz received $600 from his parents during the summer. The money was given him in three instailments, de- ginning with the early spring and ending with the summer upon his representation that he had purchased the profitable right toa fiat in a big building in this ay. The second remittance of $200 was sentto him in the form of four $60 bills; the remainder was forwarded in various fashions. The statement that $2,000 had been traced to Schwartz's expenditures during the last six months is flatly denied. Col. Bowman states that although the State has proven that Henry Mayhew married Ellen ‘*8o0-and-so0,’’ it can never be proven that Schwartz bore that alias. BELL—CAMPBELL—At the residence of J. W.

CARONDELET JOTTINGS. Death of “Granny” Houston, a Centena- rian—A Terrible Accident. atthe meeting of the Odd-Fellow’s Cemetery association last night it was decided to enlarge the cemetery by purchasing five more acres wing inthe immediate neighborhood south of the cemetery. george Cummings, 85 years of age, anda wil known railroad man here, met with a ter- mie accident at noon to-day. While in the gt of jam ping from a movi freight car for me purpose of turning aswitch he missed his footing and fell between two of the cars, the trucks passing over his right foot, orushing it ina horrible manner. Dr. Starkioff was sum- moned and removed the man to his home on Bepenschied street, where his foot was ampu- tated. Mrs. Eliza Houston, or Granny Houston, one of the oldest, if not the oldest, person in this part of the city, passed into eternity early last Tuesday morning, death being caused b old age. Mrs. Houston was an old colore lady, who at the time of her death was said to de 100 years Of age. She resided at 5917 Penn syivania avenue. Mrs. Houston was prn in bondage on the plantation ot a Mr. Pernell in Virginia, near the border line of N nd. Nothing is known of the woman or her daughter. Mrs. sarah Smith says that the exact date of her birth is unknown. The daugh- : . Say mother was raised onthe plantation of a Mr. Pernell in Vir- ia, and worked for him several years, men she was sold to a Mr. Houston. hile inthe employ of Mr. Houston she married one the colored overseers and gave birth to ason, who is now living in Missouri. and who is in the neighborhood of 60 years. Mr. Houston, shortly after my brother was born, took my mother and brother out to Mis- gsouril, leaving her husband behind to work on the plantation. They settled in the neighborhood of 8t. Louis and while here mother learned from her master of der husband’s death. The colored people in those days assumed the names of their mas- ters, and she married again one of Houston’s slaves, who was known as Isaac Houston, and by this husband she had four children, two of whom only survive, of which I am one and the youngest two, being very near 85 years, the oldest being 50 years ot ase. After wewere declared tree. we moved down to Carondelet, where we have resided ever since. Up to the time of my mother’s death, she could talk very freely and seemed to remem- der everything as though it ocourred yesterday, One time while at work inthe fields of Virginia under Mr. Pernell, she was stricken blind, and remained so for over a year, and itis believed that that was th“ reason why Mr. Pernell sold her to Mr. Houston. Atany rate she recov- ered her eyesight, and up to her jeath could read without spectacies.’’ Granny’’ Houston was a member of the idows’ Relief Association and had been for eral years. Atthe time of her death she sitting in a rocking chair, and, call- her daughter over to her, said: ah, Iam going to die.“ and she fell back The old lady was strong and hearty when she gave signs 7 weakness and could hardly walk. he Widows’ Relief Association will 6 the bod Sm care and bury it from St. Mark’s Churc n morning.

Wheat Shows Strength and Has More Back- ers—Corn Very Quiet—Provisions Moving Up. By Telegre u from Jones, McCormick 4 Kennett, icago, to the POST-DISPATCH. CuicaGo, December 16,1 p. m.—Our wheat market has been largely influenced in the last 24 hours by the uneasy feeling in Wall street. Wheat broke here yesterday through the panicky state of affairs there, and again to- day on tight money, and a lower stock market. New York sold wheat here esterday, and attempted recover t on the opening to-day. The offerings were light and the sales under sone were very email. After the first half hour and until noo : wheat was neglected and dull, and the scaip- ers did most of the trading under 880. Lester and Mumme 4 Bodman took most ot the wheat and checked the weak latter house continued y and the crowd tolled on. One of the oi ninent features to-day was the sale ofa ig line of January credited a prominent bucket-shop firm here. The option was de- pressed by the large sales and the crowd took t the ~~ difference and sold it. 0 received y are very higher an ive the bulls great higher prices. Aside from influences wheat looks very strong to us and we advise purchase on any deciine. Wheat closes firm. © exports to-day are encour- aging and in the face of this fact we see no de- sire tosell much stuff short. It is generally believed here that the prominent local opera- tors have littie or no interest in the market. Corn is entirely neglected. The business done in it is surp ly emall, and the put left to the scalpers. wever, the market is teady. 7 Receipts of hogs were again under the es- timates, and the Te has tak market opened at cables a sharp advance. has taken with steadiness large lots of long stuff, went off but little on the weakness in wheat and closes firm. ; 1 * 7 No. 2. | No.2.

After the strong re- action and close of yesterday after- noon the market was in good shape to do bet- ter, H any encouragement was held out. This encouragement was on hand this morning. English markets had apparently paid no at- tention to the break in this country, for their cables were strong and higher, private cables quoting 8d advance in California and ls ad- vance per grin American (equal to 3.6c and 3c per bud, and good orders said to be received on this side to buy. Wall street advices were of a soothing character, as stocks were better and it was believed the financial cyclone had blown over. The news was stimulating enough to bring a sharp-set lot of buyers into the market and cause a perfect stand- off among those who had been shorting the market, the consequence being an advance of %c. And for quite a time the tone was very strong, with all the offerings snapped up, the only effect, too, of any symptoms of weakness elsewhere being to dulltrading. This upward move received a check when unsettling ee began to come in from New York, one of which was that money was up to 108 per cent, and confidence was shaken enough to cause buyers to pull out. Bears took advantage of this to hammer prices down &@%o0, From this depression the market shot up like a balloon after 12 o’clock, a rapid rally at other points and more encouraging financial news, together with late strong cables and large export purchases creating such a wave tor wheat that nothing could hold it down. Indeed bears were too badly rattled by the sudden turn to attempt to combatthe advance. The close was strong and ec above yesterday. Spot grades were higher and at %@%ec advance local millers and speculators bought No. 2 red freely, all e slow. No. 2 red 79%c regular, 80@80\%c this side, 80%c bid for M.; No, 3 red ue in M. and later 77880 bid; No. 4, 75c bid for St. L.. 7. for O.; No. 2 Mediterranean 790 bia; No. 3 do 780 bid; re- jected 60c bid. Corn—There were few who apparently cared about dabbling in this article, and sales were very few and far between. The falling was strong in sympathy with wheat and the better reports from the East, but there was only about eo scalp in price during most of the session. On the call a weaker feeling brought out more stuff for sale and a drop of Mu took place, but there were read takers,and afterwards the market recove all it had lost.

OSBORNE HIT HARD. Mis Charges Against Appraiser McMullen Declared to Be Groundless. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcu. WASHINGTON, D. C., December 16.—The New York Tribune published yesterday an alleged report against an appraiser, McMullen, purporting to be the report of Col. Osberne as special agent of the Treasury Department. It was further charged that this report had been submitted tothe Secretary of the Treas- wry. The Tribune, editorially, called for prompt action by Secretary Manning on the charges ainst McMullen or the dismissal of l. Osborne. Col. borne is not . Special agent of the ‘Treasury, nor has he ever held — a ag: = me Was employed bythe Treasury on 0 u 1 Sertember 19, 1888 and March 31, , when he was dropped from his temporary employment because, as alleged, he never bmitted as the result of his work anything ut rambling charges without any evidence to au rt them. Assistant Secre Fairchild paid Col. Osborne was sent abro upon the recommendation of certain domestic import- ers of cutiery to investizate charges of under- valuation. He went to Burope, but never submitted anything of the slightest value as evidence, so he was dropped. Recently Spe- eclal Agent Ticknor addressed a communica- tion to the Treasury Department, ne that Col. Osborne was falsely representing himself as a special agent of the Treasury, and that he had words ‘ ‘Special nt printed on his cards. He asked if he * not present this to the District Attor- for prosecution. To a reporter who led upon Mr. McMullen yesterday, he de- clared the charges in toto to be false. He said that the friendships complained of were es- tablished years ago when be was in the hard- ware business himself. Rut, he said, -‘I deny that they bave ever influenced my official action. The statement of Osborne that I placed impediments in the way of his investi- is false. 0 the A examination, am informed that thanked my subordinates for their attention pad courtesy before he left. Personally, I nothing to do with the actual work Of ap- sing goods. It deyolves on me to approve appraisals made by my assistants. The assistant in charge of the outlery department is Mr. Halscead, foranumber of years in the eatery, busifiess. In relation to the motive of . borne, you may say that he was an ap- icant fora position in my department, and at after investigating his character I declined is services. Mr. Halstead also declared the charges to be false. A. H. Saxton of the firm of Alfred Field & Co., who is also assailed in the c o, made @ statement yesterday, denying all the state- ents concerning himself. "Be adds: ‘‘Os- orne, about six years ago, applied to my firm or employment, and after some investigation cee his application, not being satisfied ‘with his character. We believe that the Gov- ernment is being unwittingly used to 2 cute Gamage us,and we think it high time that the Government put these disrep-. utable men where they belong.

FLICKERS OF THE TROUBLE IN THE NaA- TIONAL OPERA COMPANY. The Discharged Ballet Girls Want to Go Home—Mr. Eaton Says They Are Not Suffering—Signor de Vivo, Mme. Fursch- Madi’s Agent, Renews the Fight—He Asserts That Thomas is No. Operatic Director and is Partial to Emma Juch— The Italian Gives His Opinion ef the Company's Weakness—Amusement Notes. By Telegraph to the Post-DISsPATCH. New Tonk. December 16.—A representative of the stranded Italian ballet dancers who were discharged in Chicago on Saturday called upon Lawyer Eaton, attorney for the company, on Tuesday to demand transportation for the girls back to Milan. Mr. Eaton told himto call again yesterday, and in the meantime tel- egraphed back that he was trying to find em- ployment for the ballet girls and chorus sing- ers. When Mr. Eaton reported this to the representative of the girls, he said they would not accept other engagements in this country. They wanted to go home, and, un- less they were detained by their contract with the eompany. they were bound to go. This report was sent to Mr. Locke and an answer is awaited. MR. EATON SAID that the condition of the discharged girls was not so pitiable as represented. They received $100 apiece in cash and their passage to New York to start with and they got half rates or $10 a week during rehearsals. After that they got $20 a week and traveling expenses, and the money was paid regularly. Their only expense had been for board. Mr. Eaton had under- stood that most ot the girls had been sending money home to relatives in Italy. Sig. de Vivo, agent for Mme. Fursch-Madi, has made a statement concerning the trouble in St. Louis and has embodied in the statement his opinion as to the causes of the later troubles ofthe company. He repeats the story of MMB. FURSCH-MADI’S EXPERIENCE at the rehearsal in St. Louis substantially as had been teld, and charges that Mr. Theodore Thomas gave to the public a statement of the affair which was .untrue. He says that Mr. Thomas, while on his way to New York, tele- graphed to St. Louis that when Mme. Fursch- Madi had discharged her agent and ‘‘freed herself from such influences, and placed Mr. Hock in the Sin light, he (Mr. Thomas) would withdraw is objections to further appearance with the Sig. de Vivo alleges M expressed opinion that Mr. The- odore Thomas is an incompetent operatic conductor was omens the ‘‘influences’’ which Mr. Thomas had in view in his telegram. Sig. de Vivo says that there are four weak spots in the National Opera Company which he enumerates as follows: The first one is the superfinite personal van- itv of Mr. Thomas and his enermous salary. The second is the pretensions and privileges of Miss Emma Juch. The third is the lamentable ignorance of the management of the operatic business and the fourth is the almost brutal conduct of the stage manager and director. SIG. DE VIVO SAYS that Mr. Thomas always asks what the publicdo not want, and then prompt! gives it to them. The reference to iss uch s ‘*pretensions and privileges’’ is explained by the subse. quent mention of her as Mr. Thomas’ favorite rima donna. Sig. de Vivo says Mlle. astreiter encountered the same difficulty during the first season of the National Opera as that Mme, Fursch-Madi has encountered since, for Mile. Hastreiter was also an artist and every time she had a triumph Miss Juch resented it. Mr. Locke eprecated it and Mr. Thomas struggled to pre- vent it. Mr. Locke is Miss Juch’s daly ann agent and he is greatly interested in iss Juch’s future professional career, a fact thatthe public will better understand when next season they hear of Miss Juch traveling as the star. of her own company under the management of Mr. Locke. Mr. Thomas has nursed her with his orchestra, and Mr. has filled the papers with her praises. been understood by everybody connected with the company that while Mrs. Thurber may be the pewer on the throne, Miss Juch was the power behind it.’’ Sig. de Vivo'’s statement concludes as follows: I must say inthe kindliest manner to Mrs. Thurber that when she discharges Mr. Thomas and has freed herself from such influences her whole enterprise will be assured and the National Opera become a lasting success. THE METROPOLITAN OPERA-HOUSE directors having the most friendly feeling towards the American Opera leased them the Metropolitan Opera-bonse for five weeks from February 26 at a merely nominal rental in or- der that the American Opera Company could have the best surroundings for their produc- tion.

He was not inclined to make a speech, referring to answ questions. Commissioner Medill asked if could not relieve Eastern Iowa cern feeders, who were drawing their supplies this year from Nebraska. The response was that the roads were likewise losers, because there was little corn to haul, and the reduction of the local rate would pinch them further. Thev might raise the rate on dry goods, buta cry ofextortion and robbery would at once 80 out.

Sullivan—A Champion Cup for American Oarsmen—Base Ball News— Sporting Gossip. Did you see the latest fairy tale concerning Glasscock from Soden of Boston?’’ was the in- terrogatory of President Stromberg of the Maroons to a PosT-DISPATCH reporter this morning. Well, the statement is made ina special dispatch from Boston that the Boston Club had offered a ‘fabulous sum’ for Glass- cock and that we wanted such an out- rageous’ price, etc., for him that it was im- possible for Soden’s fifth-rate club to get him. As a matter of fact, said President „the Boston Club has never Soden wrote me some days ago, Ianswered that money could not se- Glasscock will manage and captain He has signed with bly fine young player. Let me further say, now that the matter has come up, that Denny will cover third base for us next season. He is satisfied to play here, and will be found at his position next season. We will start in with two nines, playing one 9 the other, to determine as to the value of the young blood we have en ed. As to Denny, it muy be further stated that no offer of $4,000 has been made for him by anyone. Such a report has been circulated in e East. Association Meeting. At the meeting of the American Association yesterday atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York the report of the committee onthe new Cleveland club was approved and that city formally admitted into the Association. The report of the Arbitration Committee was re- ceived and adopted. The report of the Com- mittee on Playing Rules was adopted, with ex- ceptions that the Association reserved the right to call a moening of the Committee, on Playing Rules at any time instead of an an- nual meeting, so that — rule may be changed as soon as it is found to beimpracticable, and that the Association need not be compelled to adopta rule proposed by the Committee on ow doy | Rules. The Pittsburg Club put in a claim for $00 of the §500 fine in the Barkley case, but the Association refused to return it. Wheeler Wikoff was elected as President and O. P. Caylor as honorary member. The Asso- ciation then adjourned to attend a dinner ten- dered them by Mr. Erastus Wiman. The base ball magnates meet again to-day. Pittsburg, it is said, will pay Al McKinnon asalary higher than that which he received from the Maroons. , Henry Boyle, the pitcher, will return to St. Louis soon. It is said he contemplates tak- ing a lite partner. A The Cleveland Plain Dealer says that Lynch and Snyder will be one of the new team’s bat- teries next season without a doubt. It is announced that Hanion will surely ca tain the Detroits next season, notwithstand- ing all reports that Dunlap would occupy the position.

Harry Weldon is responsible for the report and wanted to ‘guy’ me.“ the second baseman for the at his visit to JACK KNIFTON. nn The English Pugilist Has = Word to Say About Sulli¥an. John Knifton, who is matebed to naht Jem Smith for the heavy-weight championship of England, which battle it seems impossible to bring to a conclusion, though two or three places have been appointed for the encounter, has been talking to a r of the Sporting Life, London, about his future Movements. In answer to the question Will this be your > hae dy if I win db portunity it and could have n the al . Iehball no time in going after bia you, bet, for I know there is plenty o : man, ver he — 1 who * him. But I don't think ivan will consent te engage in areal prize many of them, but if Jack Knifton has an idea that Sullivan won’t fight ‘areal prize fight,’ as he terms it, the sooner he gets rid of that idea the better it will be for him. That’s what John L. wants, in my opinion, and that big fellow would beagood mark for him—in fact Just pie.’ Give Knifton, if you can, a bit of advice, and say he needn’t come to America to meet Sullivan,as John L. is bound his way. Knifton is known in England as the §81- tonner. In his stockings he is 6 feet 1% in- ches, and — he went into training for his match with Smith, weighed 224 pounds, but in his fighting costume he tips the scales about 195 pounds. He will be3l years old on Janu- ary 30. He was born at St. Cyrus, near Mont- rose, Scotland. Knifton’s fighting record is very easily told. He beat a fellow named Scrutton in a glove fight in London; whipped Massey, bare knuckles, thirty-nine rounds, in forty-one minutes, and fought Woolf Ben- doff, with the gloves, for endurance, defeat- ing him in three rounds, and that’s all. As a reason why he made the match with Smith Knifton says: ‘‘My relations, as you know, with Smith have hitherto been of the most amicable nature, and it is rather a curi- ous fact that prior to the death of Smith’s grandmother we shook hands and agreed never to fight; but Smith’s challenge to box anybody, bar neither creed,country nor color I considered a direct challenge to me, and telt it my duty to accept it. This paragraph was also shown the old New York sporting man, and, with a peculiar pucker to his lips, he said, ‘‘Knifton better not think of anybody’s grandmother when he meets Sullivan. A Proposed Cup for Oarsmen. While seven of the leading oarsmen in America were in England a month ago, says the Boston Herald, the matter of the cham- pionship of the United States and Canada was discussed, and the question was asked: What good the championship was, and what the winner of it ever had to prove his title?’’ They all agreed that the idea of holding a cup asa poe ge as had long been the custom in England, was the only thing to make a cham- pionship tangible. With only one or two ex- ceptions—and these were not opposed tothe preject—it was agreed that this winter, or early inthe spring, they would startin this country a subscription for a suitable cup, each of thé oarsmen leading off withas heavy a donation as he could afford. it wasnot de- cided whether the cup should bea perpetual challenge trophy or a prize to be won a stated number of times before becoming the abso- lute property of the winner, all these matters being left for future consideration and deci- sion, but there was an earnestness about the matter which bodes success. Sporting Notes. A crowd of 500 sporting men gathered last night to see Jack McAuliffe and Billy Frazier fight toa finish for the light-weight Holske belt at Boston. McAuliffe appeared in the ring ready for the battie, but Frazier brought a physician’s certificate to the effect that he was too sick to fight. The sports left the place. in disgust. Mr. J. A. 8t. John tndorses the movement to subscribe for a cup to represent the American championship. Gaudaur, he says, is willing to add his share of the expense and do his best to hold the trophy as long as possible. Fifty tickets for the Daly-Myers fight at Braidwood, III., December 28, have been sent to St. Louis. It has been decided to have the battle in that city. TO-DAY, in every home and office in 8t.
