The Movement of Cars on All the City Lines Effectually Stopped—Both Sides Firm— Complaints of Business Men—Futile At- tempts to Run Cars—Strikers Overpower the Police—The Milwaukee Rioters—La- ber News. NEw Tonk, December 23.—Many thousand Brooklynites, who are accustomed to use the horse cars ot the Brooklyn City Rallroad Com- pany, are compelled to-day to walk. The company controls eleven lines of street cars, all ot which are tied up to-day. The men claim that the company has failed to carry out the agreement made with the men last March in regard to the hours of work. STRIKERS VIOLENT. One of the causes of the trouble was the fact thatthe company would not recognize the Knights of Labor nor the Empire Protective Association in its negotiatiens with its men. About 8 o’vlock a dozen cars were s under the protection of the police. In New York one of the cars was attacked by five strikers, and the police promptly arrested them and thus prevented further trouble. — USING STAGES. This morning several citizens went to the office of the Empire Protective Association and asked how long the strike would last. The gentlemen were told that the association did not know. President Lewis of the City Lines said that he was not going to give in and could not tell . how ong it would last. The citizens said to the association that they would hire fifty-three stages to run from the bridge and the ferries to their places of busi- ness. The association will aid them and give them men to drive the stages. The Brooklyn City Railroad Company Claims that its buai- ness has been infused by the concessions of last spring. This is denied 2 the . atlon, who assert th the company has paid an 11 per cent dividend as against 14 per cent last year. State Arbi- trator Florence Donovan is in Brooklyn to- day, and had an ineffectual conference with President Lewis. Brooklyn merchants say — . lose thousands of dollars by the strike coming in holiday week. It was evi- dent at about nooon that there was likely to be serious trouble on the lines ofthe Brook- lyn City Railroad and THE POLICE WERE CALLED UPON to protect a car which the company desired to start out from the depot at Greenwood, and Captain Roe and several officers went to the scene and mounting the platform, the car was started. It got only a block on its journe when a mob took the horses off the car an ran the car back into the depot. The police were unable to resist the men. A car at Halsey street and Tompkins avenue was overturned and the driver and con- ductor assaulted by the mob. The police attempted to interfere, but were over- powered and reserves were called upon to ald them. A car was hoisted from the track at Fulton and New York avenues, and the po- lice called upon here also. The driver and conductor, who were ‘‘scabs,’’ were as- saulted. Obstructions have been * upon the tracks, and it looks as if there would be even more serious trouble if the company per- sist in their attempt to run the cars. The Milwaukee Rioters. MILWAUKEE, December 23.—The trial ot An- drew Boncel and John Gondek, for participat- Ing in thé riots at Bay View last May, is now in progress at the Municipal Court, Judge Sloan presiding. Sheriff Paschen was on the stand this morning and related his experience at Bay View on the fatal day when the Kosciusko Guards fired into the mob, killing six people. The trial will last several days. Paul Grot- kau, the Anarchist, who was sentenced to the House of Correction for thirty days for insult- ing Judge Sloan, was takento that reform- atory this morning. A SAD SCANDAL, The Case of Mrs. Charlotte Coulston Against Rev. Waldo Messaros. PHILADELPHIA, December 23.—The trial of the Rev. Waldo Messaros of the Northwestern Independent Church, charged with assault and attempt to ravish Mrs. Charlotte Coulston on the 2ist of June last, began here yesterday, The case was opened by the prosecuting wit- ness, who testified that Dr. Messaros was calling upon her at the time and endeavor- ing to persuade her from withdrawing from his church. The lady sad: When he had finished talking about his sermon he * as if to go, and I arose, thinking that he — going. Hewalkedup and down the r — twice.

The cross-examination endeavored to estab- lish the tact that the lady was in love with the minister and had said that she would ‘‘lose heaven for him.’’ THE STATE CAPITAL, Senator Downing’s Committee Satisfied With Its Inspection—Going Home.

Salisbury had nothing of importance on foot, he should not be in London — for several days. Hart- ington has been summoned from Italy by bh. Iam assured this afternoon, by next to the highest military authority, that the army and navy estimates afford no justifi- cation whatever for Churchill’s resignation, not being at all in excess of the ordinary de- mands. These afe, therefore, merely the pretext which he, as Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, has adopted to cover & retreat on domestic and Irish questions in the face of the impossibility of presenting the economical budget which he had promised. TO DESCRIBE THE EXCITEMENT in political, and especially Tory circles would be impossible. The Queen herself is known to be extremely indignant, Churchill not hav- ing taken the usual course of informing her of his intention. The future is totally uncertain owing to the suddenness of the event. No Tory leader being id the Commons, the forma- tion of a coalition government with Harting- ton as Prime Minister and Salisbury as Foreign Secretary is the most probable, naturally followed, asI have repeatedly forecast, by a coalition of Churchill and Chamberlain. Ultimately, however, the present split means a more rapid triumph of the Gladstonian party. England. LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL RESIGNS. Loxpox, December 23.—The London Times declared this morning that Lord Randolph Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, resicned from the British Cabinet because he could not concur in the estimates made out by the War Office and Admiralty. CAUSED A SENSATION. The resignation of Lord Randolph Church- ilifrom the Cabinet has caused a sensation. The desire to increase the expenses of the Ad- miralty and War Offices, to which Lord Ran- dolph was opposed, indicates, itis believed, that the Government are of the opinion that a European war is imminent and that extra naval and military preparations on the part of England are required to make her uence felt on the Oontinent. HARTINGTON FOR PRIME MINISTER. Joseph Chamberlain has deferred his con- @emplatea visit to Scotland until after the holidays. No other member of the Cabinet is expected to resign. It is asserted that Lord Hartington will be asked to assume the office of Prime Minister. On the other hand, it is reported that he will be pressed to take Lord Randoiph Churchili’s place as leader of the Government party in the House of Commons. Lord Hartington is at present in Rome, and has arranged to remain there another week. PRESS COMMENTS. The St. James Gazette says that if financial reasons explain Lord Randolph Churchill’s resignation from the Cabinet, there is nothing to be said except there is not much to be de- lored; butif the local government bill was o cause, then the Government has grievous- h ly erred. THE BCHO. NH The Echo says it believes Lord Randolph Churchili’s resignation was due to an ¢ssen- tial divergence of opinion with the rest of the Cabinet. Unless rd Randolph Churchill gives a better reason for his action than that of financial differences with his colleagues, he will be unable to repel hostile criticism of his course. THE NEWS The Evening News says: ‘Patriots are pained and surprised.“ It asks Lord Randolph to justify his course, warning him thatif he does not, his name will never be heard hereafter without exciting exasperation. The Globe says: It would be difficult for the warmest admirers of Lord Randolph Church- ili to vindicate his step. THE PALL MALL GAZETTE. The Pall Mall Gazette declares that it will be impossible for Lord Salisbury to govern unless Lord Hartington steps into the breach, which it says is impossible to conceive of on any hypothesis in which Lord Hartington could defend morally or politically a refusal to accept the post which Lord Randolph Churchill has vacated. The Queen has sent her private ‘secretary, Gen. Sir Fredrick Ponsonby, to London to-day, with a message to Lord Salisbury. SURPRISE AND REGRET. Me Conservative and Cariton Clubs received the announcement of Lord Randolph Churebill’s resignation with surprise and regret. GREAT ENTHUSIASM. DUBLIN. December 28.—The resignation of Lord Randolph Churchill from the Cabinet was 7 through the streets of Dublin this orning by a bellman. The populace showed enthusiasm over the news. Ireland. SERIOUS CHARGES. DUBLIN, December 23.—United Ireland says the only effect of the Government’s proclaim- ing the ‘‘plan of campaign’’ is to increase the attraction of the scheme by the spice of con- traband. The same paper says that four let- ters addressed to its editor and recently re- ceived had evidently been opened at the Post-office. United Ireland says that every oficial at Dublin Castle who copies or in- spectse any document, is obliged to make a return of the name of every person who has access to said document.

MILWAUKEE, December 23.—Judge Hamil- ton, in the Cirouit Court yesterday, rendered @ decision which is of much importance to stockholdérs and officers of corporations. The case in which the decision was rendered was that of Charies H. Potter & Co. of Cleve- land against the Secretary of the Montreal River Iron Mining Company to compel him to enter upon the books of the com the transfer to them of stock purceh from one O. T. Bowen, and for which pms 1. — about „000. The stock is now worth $30,000. ore his sale to the Cleveland firm Bowen gave a written option of sixty days upon the stock to one Barden. It was during this period that Bowen sold the stock to Potter & Co. There was nothing upon the company’s books to show that Barden held the option, and Potter & Co. purchased with- out notice of it. The Secretary and J. A. Wood,who purchased from Barden, contested the right of Potter & Co., to have the transfer entered upon the books because of the revious option to Barden. The Court ecided that as Potter & Co. were innocent purchasers without notice of Barden’s option and had possession of the certificate of stock, the secretary of the com- ny ought to have made the transfer at the mo request. Judgment in favor of Potter & Co. was accordingly entered. The case is of importance to stockholders as it places bona fide purchasers who have —— of the certificates of stocks ahead of persons who may have previously purchased it without obtaining the certificate and having the trans- fer duly entered.

Although He Frequently Declared He Would Never Do So. James Wakeman, an Englishman, who keeps a shoe store at No. 824 Franklin avenue, died at 11:45 last night from the effects of a dose of ‘‘Rough on Rats’’ taken earlier in the day. He was a man 43 years of age and resided over the store with his family. In the evening his family noticed that there was something wrong with him and they sum- moned Drs. Clopton and Williamson, but the physicians, although they did all in their —— were unable to save him, and shortly efore midnight he breathed his last. He is said to have been a nard drinker and this is age to have had something to do with his death. On the 22d of August, 1885, Richard Cox, a cousin of Wakeman’s,drowned himself by jumping off the bridge because of the death of his wife. At the time Wakeman expressed himself very freely about suicides, ronouncing aman who would take his own ife a— fool. Why. said he, it my whole family were to die in one night and was to de old sold out by the Sheriff next morning, I would be too manly to even con- template suicide.’* China SUlk Handkerchiefs, 20 Inches Wide, 35c at T.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND CRITICISED FOR RENOMINATING MATTHEWS, The Administration Organ’s Vigorous Pretest — The Randall Caucus — Programme for Tariff Revision—Congressman King’s De- parture- The Interstate Commerce Bill— Reagan and Morrison Call Upon the Pres- ident— Washington News. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aru. WASHINGTON, D. O., December 23.—The nom- ination of Matthews as Recorder of Deeds of the District promises to become & celebrated ease. Itisacomplete abrogation of the au- thority of the Senate over appointments, if the President carries out the policy indicated for him in yesterday’s issue of the dministration 0 . The Post says that the renomination ot Matthews keeps him in office until the close of the session, and that it he shouid be rejected by tbe Senate, the President could again reap- point him after the adjournment. By this means the President could escape entirely the authority of the Senate over any appointment he might see fitto make. Such an act is re- ed by many good lawyers as a most un. constitutional one. The Senate has already said that it wouldn't consent to Mr. Matthews“ ap- intment. This being the case, it is believed hat the President has passed the dangerous — in asserting his right to renominate mn. The Evening Star, one of the most conserva- tive papers in the District, in discussing the reason given by the President concerning this 14 — contradicts him in his statement of the alleged facts of the case. The Star says: „It is possible, though hardly probable, that the confirmation of Mr. Matthews as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, may be secured, as desired by the President, in his message sent to that bod agree but it is not fair either to that body or to the people of the District, that this result should be accom- lished through misrepresentation of the facts n the case. In transmitting the second time the name of his choice to the Senate, the President takes occasion to assert that the objection to Mr. Matthews’ occu- pancy of the place is largely based on a preja- dice conceived against that gentleman and that his management of the office since he has been in it has had the effect of removing much of the opposition to him which form- erly existed. Now we have far better oppor- tunities for knowing the sentiment and the temper of this community than any President ever had, and we undertake to say that no rejudice has existed, or now exists, against far. Matthews personally, nor has any serious doubt ever been entertained, so far as we can discover, as to his capacity to fill the office with credit to him- self and to the satisfaction of the public. Neither, as the President would seem to want the public to infer, is the color of his nominee an objection, for as is well known more than one lucrative and responsible office in the District has been and is now acceptably filled by colored men, On the other hand, Mr. Matthews — oye to have impressed favora- bly those whom he has met, and so far as we know his office has been creditably conducted during hisincumbency. But this might weil have been expected of any gentiemen the Pres- ident was likely to name for the place. The opposition to ir. Matthews rests upon much broader and more solid ground. It goes back to the principle of home-rule and to the President’s disregard of his own party’s indorsement of the principle as distinctly enunciated in the plutform on which he was elected. Had the President been unable to find a white or black resident of the District who was at once worthy of official recogni- tion and capable of properly filling the posi- tion in question, the importation of a protege from a distant point to fill a purely local office might have been excused. As itis, the action of the Executive is almost uniformly regarded —and most of all by members of his own party —as both a reflection upon the people of the Districtanda wholly uncalied for disregard of the popular will. The Randall Caucus, By Telegraph to the PusT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON. D. C.., December 2.—It would seem that the action taken bythe Ran- dall caucus Tuesday night does not meet with the approval of a great portion of the Demo- crats. uite a number will insist that the N bill to be drafted by Mr. Randall Shall contain features dealing with the re- duction of the tariff on several dutiable articles. Mr. Wilkins of Ohic who, voted against the consideration of the Morrison bill, will oppose any measure dealing with inter- nal revenue that does not also provide for certain reductions on the tariff. Though representing the greatest wool district in the United States, he is in favor of lacing the third-class, or carpet wool on the ree list. He entertains similar views upon lumber and salt together with a reduction on steel rails. Mr. Wilkins voices the sentiment of a large majority of the Democrats who would otherwise concur with Mr. Randall, on his reduction of Internal Revenue taxation. Another caucus will be heid the rst week in January when it will be ＋ determined what kind of a illshall be submitted. Mr. Randall will be willing, if itis so desired by a majority of the party, to incorporate inthe measure certain rovisions for reduction of the tariff. There s a report in circulation that the caucus com- mittee of Republican Senators, acting under the instruction of the caucus, will meet a Similar committee representing the Repub- licans of the House, some time during the holiday recess to consider a course of proced- ure with regard to the tariff.

Foster Higgins, Secretary of the New York Chamber of Com- merce, protesting against the action of the committee in expunging from the Miller bill the clause e tor the appointment of two civilians, one by the Chamber of Com- merce andthe other by the Governor of New Jersey, to act with the three others from the War and Navy Departments and from the Coast Survey. Mr. Higgins, likewise, tells the committee that a serlous error has been made in reducing the appropriation in the bill from $30,000 to $20,000. Mr. Higgins takes the position that, as this com- mission isto passon the question of the ex- enditure of about eleven millions forthe mprovement of the harbor, the committee have not exercised good — ag in reducing the amount, when the future of the harbor very largely depends on the investigations of the commission as to where and how the large appropriation shall best be expended. Mr. Higgins ts also of the opinion that the bill, should it become a law, wil! fail in its pur- pose if the Chamber of Commerce is not given a voice in the matter, as that ody is better prepared to know the wants and needs of the harbor than those who have been selected by the commit- tee. Mr. Higgins does not question the abil- ity of the representatives of the Government to carry out the proposed improvement, but he thinks that as the commercial bodies of the city are the most interested in having a good harbor they should have a representa- ion on the commission. As the bill provided & compensation of but $10 a day for the civilians and they were to meet but one day in a month, Mr. Higgins argues that there could be no motive other than the improvement for the Chamber of Commerce asking for a repre- sentation on the Board. The Interstate Commerce Bill. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPratcus. WASHINGTON, D. C., Vecember 2.—The interstate commerce bill is now in the of a conference report, and Senate has acted it will go the House. A careful canvass of the Senate has been made on the bill, and it will pass that body by a very large majority, unless some powerful influence snould change exist- ing opinion there during the holiday recess. Out of the seventy-six Senators only thirteen are willing to commit themselves as opposed to measure. Senator Camden of a strong he believed of the Dill. t feeling througbout the West up- on the subject, much more than in the East.

Floyd King of that State, who failed to be re-elected, will not return to Washington to serve cut the balance of his present term. A few days before Mr. Morrison calied up his tariff bill he sent telegrams to Gen. King, urg- ing the importance of his presence here to vote on the bill. No answer came, though a dispatch was received from & citizen of the King had left there sev- gral days before and whereabouts eral days before and bis was not known to his neighbors. Gen.

C., December 23.—Mr. Mor- rison was a caller at the White House this morning, the first time he has been there since the reassembling of Congress. Judge Reagan was also a caller on the President, the first time since the unfortunate bath on last Saturday. It is understood that the cause of Reagan’s visit was for the popes of explainizig to Mr. Cleveland how he hap- — to conclude to bathe at so inopportune a moment. Mr. Cleveland said Mr. Reagan's excuse was all right, but he hoped it would not occur again, which the Texan promised it would not. Mr. Morrison’s talk was long an loud about his defeat on the tariff bill. Senator Logan’s Illness. WASHINGTON, D. C., December 23.—Senator Logan did not have a restful night, and at times he was slightly delirious. It is now three weeks since this attack of rheumatism firstmanifested itself. He has been but one or two days in the Senate chamber this ses- sion, and hardly expects toresume his seat until the latte? part of January. He will go to Hot Springs in Arkansas as soon as he is able to travel without fear of getting cold. Steamboat Inspector Appointed. WASHINGTON, D.

By Telegrarh to the Post-DISPATCH. ForT WortTH, Tex., December 23.—At 5:30 o’clock this morning flames were discovered bursting from W. K. Byron’s grocery, No. 7 East Belknap street. In a few moments the entire structure, one-story high and of wood, was completely enveloped in flames. The alarm was sounded, but the fire gained so rapidly that by the time the department reached it the building and its contents were past saving. From this the fire communicated to the blacksmith shop on the west side and the two-story boarding-house of H. Perry on the east. The blacksmith shop was gutted, but the boarding-house suffered greater damage. The northeast corner of it was burned out up- stairs and down, while the entire roof and west side were ruined. In the north- east corner room, uostairs, in the boarding- house, after the fire had been subdued a dead body was found on the floor, horribly burned. The body was taken out, and recognized as that of a cripple named Ashart, who came here last night for lodging, When Perry, the boarding-house-keeper, saw the flames burst- ing out he ran fo Ashart’s room, brokein the door and jerked him from his ped, telling him to escape. Then he left, thinking he would follow. This wasthe last seenof him until the body was discovered after the fire. Byron's stock was valued at $600, and insured for $300.

The present plan of private companies assessing reside month- ly has nothing to recommend ite continuation. If the sprinklers can squeeze out enough to give them the desired profit on the block the contract is undertaken and filled according to the sweet will of the manager of the company. As soon as the subscriptions fall under the limit fixed by the company they quit sprink- ling. Should the collector have any particu- lar trouble with the occupant of any one bouse the space adjoining is left without at- tention, to the great annoyance of other residents of the block. The trouble has heretofore always been caused by the lack of municipal funds, an obstacle that will be obviated this year. Councilman Devoy, Chairman of the Council Committee on Public ‘Improvements, discussed the subject of the city doing the sprinkling with Comptroller Campbell to- day and inquired as to the racticability of carrying out the provisions of a bill looking to this end. Comptroller Campbell said that the expenses of yoyo Se city government slightly exceeded $3,000,000, which left a bal- ance of about $600,000 in the municipal revenue for optional appropriation. As to what this amount should be devoted the Comptroller had no voice except to advise as to the financial offices of the city. He knew of no reason why he should op the assage of such a bill should the — Wa s and Means Committee of the Municipal Kesembiy see fit to draft such an ordinance. When asked more eee 4 ky the feasibility of the plan, he Comptroller said that if thre year was changed as he hoped it would be, by making a three months appropriation so as to make the year begin July 1, the finances of the city would be so arranged that the city could un- dertake the sprinkling of the streets without any additional tax. . Devoy proposes to submit such an or- dinance authorizing the Board of Public Im- provements to let contracts for sprinkling such streets as they may deem proper at the expense of the city. He stated that he had learned that in every place where the plan of the city doing tie sprinkling had been adopted the at trouble encountered had been in starting the work. Without counting any cost for water the first expendi- ture would probably be $60,000. The present condition of the city finances it is conceded will justify this undertaking. A Ghastly Christmas Gift. To-day a number of young men entered the office of the Board of Health and on having the certificate cierk pointed out to them im- mediately went over to ‘‘Mortality Jacks’’ and bendin 5 to his ear whispered their business. r. acks listened for some momente but was less interested and less cautions than the questioner. A one-end-telephone conversation was shared by the other clerks. Pack it in charcoal, said Mr. Jacks. The young man bent closer to Mr. Jacks, who presently said: Oh, ves, it will keep the bones in place. Showing increasing solicitude that the strangers should not hear the conversation, the young man leaned still nearer. Les. Double freight, said Jacks. They don’t like to carry them. It makes ghastly freight, you know. The young man took a hurried departure as he became aware that interest was rapidly centering in him.

That's the fourth or fifth youns medical stu- dent who is carrying o skeletons for a Christmas present. fe have them every Christmas applying for permits to take skele- tons, legs, etc., out of the city.’’ A Constitutional Amendment. Comptroller Campbell stated to-day that he had the plan of the two constitutional amend- ments in relation to St. Louis taxation made out and had onlytoreduce them to writing for presentation to the General Assembly. The local necessities require so much revenue annually and as there is only one assessment levied, the city is obliged to pay much more than its share to the State. Thisistrueof all counties having debts, and virtually makes those iocalities least able to pay hightaxes pay the highest, and those best able, pay the lowest assess- ments. There two modes of remedying the trouble. One is to permit the city to increase the rate and accordingly lower the valuations from $210 ,000,000 or to provide for two assessments, one for local revenue and the other for the State taxes. Throughout the State outside of this city the average taxable valuation is 60 per cent, while in many instances in St. Louis the needs of raising municipal revenue at the prescribed rates necessitates forcing this far higher. The remedy can only be effected by a constitu- tional amendment. CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR GENTLEMEN Handsome Japanese Silk Handkerchiefs, 20 Inches Wide, Only 50c. T. B.

The man was standing in the window over-looking the alley on the south side of the structure fixing his line when he fell. None of his fellow workmen saw bim fall, but it is supposed that in reach- ing out to fasten the line he leaned too heavilv on a strip of wood nailed across the window- frame, and it broke, precipitating him to the ground.

A Class at Yale Which Contained Five Distinguished Men. Hon. Wm. M. Evarts isa graduate of Yale College,and inachat with a St.Louisan,who is also a Yale graduate, he recalled a fact in con- nection with his class at Yale which is inter- esting. The class contained a quintette of famous men. Mr. Evarts graduated in 1837 and was the valedictorian of his class which contained the late Samuel J. Tilden, Chief Justice Mor- rison R. Waite, Edwards Pierrepont and Prot. Benjamin Silliman. It would be aifficult to find in one class five men who have gained greater distinction in law, politics and science. Mr. Tilden did not graduate, but left college on account of deli- cate physique at the close of his junior year. Chief Justice Waite stands at the head of the bar by reason of ability and position; Mr. Evarts is one of the most distinguished men in iaw and ~»politics in the Mr. Tilden’s greatness is a history; Hon. Edwards Pierrepont was Minister to England, and Prof. Silliman — 22 — scientist, and is now pro- fessor of chemistry at Yale. There is one singular factin the connection between these great men, and this is that all ofthem, although distinguished before and for other reasons, were brought into unusual prominence about the same time. Waite was appointed Chief Justice and Pierrepont was appointed Minister to England by President Grant. Mr. Tilden at this time was looming up as the only leader of — — 7 and soon after was can- didate for the Presidency. Senator Evarts was in the zenith of hisfame and was counsel for the Republican party in the electoral com- mission fight, and about this time Prof. Silli- man came into prominence in financial and scientific circles through his report on the Emma Mine which caused such a furor and was afterwards vindicated by the success of the property.

Wells, an employe of the Cotton Com- press Company, residing at 603 South Broad- way, was brought into the United States District Court this morning by a Deputy Marshal, on an indictment charging him with fraudulent voting. When questioned by Judge Treat, Mr. Wells stated that he had not served in any capacity im the last election, neither had he registered or voted and he was at a loss to account for his indictment. District Attorney Bliss explained that Mr. Well’s name had undoubtedly been forged on the registration listsand that some imposter had voted on it. On Mr. Bliss’ recommendation, Mr. Wells was bound over on his Own recognizance in the sum of $500, to appear as a witness before the Grand- jury, January . Jos. O’Brien, who was arrested yesterday afternoon and jailed in default of bond, came into court on crutches. Heis a consumptive and Judge Treat out of consideration for his severe illness, and the danger which might re- sult from further confinement, released him on his own recognizance. O’Brien was a clerk of election in the ninety-eighth precinct of the Twelfth Ward. Judge Treat stated that he was ready to re- ceive and entertain any applications, evi- dently expecting that the Hendricks’ Asso- ciation would apply for a reduction in the amount of bail fixed for the four judges of election now in jau but no ap- plications were made and the court adjourned until to-morrow morning. Judge Treat stated that after to-morrow he would adjourn till after the holidays. The New Recorder of Voters. On January 1 Gov. Marmaduke will appoint anew Recorder of Voters for this city. Mr. Clarence Hoblitzelle, who now occupies the position, has been spending several days in Jefferson City and while there has calied on the Governor. Mr. Hoblitzelle has filed no application for reappointment, his conversation with the chief execu- tive having convinced him of the uselessness of such a proceeding. The Governor made up his mind on the appointment several weeks ago and itis generally understood that the lucky man is neither Henry Masse 0, Chas. Gonter, Gen. Gooding, att Brennan, or as stated above, Hoblitzelie, Ex-Judge Chas. Speck, who, as previously stated in the PostT-DISPATCH, had been prac- tically offered the place, has informed friends of Gov. Marmaduke that he would not accept the appointment. A few days ago Mr. John Lee called on the Gov- ernor, presumably upon business connected with the . 4m Mr. Lee’s man is said to be Mr. H. W. Williams, the title investi- gator. After Mr. Williams, the two men who are believed to stand the best chance of ap- ointment are Chas. Miller, formerly of Miller - Stevenson, and J. W. Allen, the notary pub- c. Whitelaw Leads. The latest information onthe Speakership contest is very favorable to Bob Whitelaw of Cape Girardeau, whose friends now claim a solid delegation from the Southeast. Alex- anders forces in the Northwest are scattering for Donelan, who will about divide with Alexander the vote of that section of the State. The attempt to drag the Cockrell influence into the Speakership fight is deprecated dy a number of Cockrell's most intimate political friends, who fear to jeop- ardize the interests of their own candidate by unnecessarily antagonizing a large and owerful faction of the partyinthe House. armaduke’s friendship for Alexander will .avail the latter little in the contest. Goody- 2 votes will ultimately goto White - aw. Blair for District-Attorney. Information from Washington that Frank Blair is favorably considered by the President for District-Attorney Bliss’ place is received as a matter of course by Gov. Marmaduke, who says that when he spoke to Mr. Cleveland about Blair, the President told him that he would look into Mr. Blair’s application and consider it when the appointment wasmade. The Gov- erner says that he believes thatthe President will bear Mr. Blair's application m mind, and he is hopeful of Blair’s appointment. The Office Seeks the Man. The State officers and department clerks at Jefferson City are amusing themselves during the present dull season by nominating each other for office. Labor Commissioner Koch- titzky announces that Attorney-General B. G. Boone will make the race for the Democratic nomination for Gov- ernor; Tom Parks says that Treasurer Seibert isin the same boat, and Charles Pol- lack thinks that honest granger.John Walker, has aspirations in the same direction. Joe Johnson of Secretary McGrath’s office is pusu- ing W. P. Bentley for Chief Clerk of the House, and Maj. Vogdes is conspiring for Jchnson’s piace as obituary clerk on McGrath’s staff. There appears to be a general misunder- standing among the impatient politicians and aspiring clerks of the capital that Judge Nor- ton will not run for Governor and that Cock- reli will be re-elected.

THE TWINS. A Hotel Waiter’s Talk on Samuel J. Tilden and Wm. M. Evarts. Senator Bvarts and his son left this morning onthe Vandalia for New Tork. There goes Sam J. Tilden’s twin brother,“ said an ex- New York waiter at the Southern this morn- ing as the Senator left the ‘breakfast- room. They're as like as two peas. You never saw Tilden? Well, their pictures don’t look much alike, but it you had ever seen them together you could not help but be struck by their wonder- ful likeness to each other. They say Evarts never liked to be told he looked like Tilden, and I know a waiter who lost his position because he called Tilden ‘Mr. Evarts.’’ Both were well-known at the Windsor and Fifth Avenue, and both were fond of dining at hotels. There was a great deal o difference in their treatment of waiters. Tilden was always known as a very wealthy man, but he would sit for an hour in a dining- room waiting for service if the head waiter didn’t see him, because none of the waiters liked him. The tipping system is as much in vogue in New York as in England or on the Continent, but Tilden never was known to give a tip anywhere. Of course when the head-waiter clapped his hands and pointed to Tilden there would be half a dozen waiters about him, they would take his dyspeptic kicking as smoothly as it they expecteda big tip. Evarte is an- other sort of man. I don’t think he is wealthy, but of course he has always hadag deal of money,and he isn’t afraidof spend it. I didn’t get him while he was ere but from the weg Bis waiter was bowing and scraping I think he must have been touched pretty heavily. In New York he is regarded as one ofthe most liberal of the public men, though Conkling is by no means er.“ Redheffer & Koch, the Art Dealers, 1000 Olive. Open till 9 o’clock every evening.

Thig morning she was fined $100 in the First District Police Court on a charge of vagrancy and given hours to leave the city. She has been up sev- eral times and has served sentences, but this is the first time she has ever been given hours. She is a property-owner here, having a house and lot near the Arsenal. Time to leave town proved very acceptable to her, however, as she dreads the Work-house, and says she in- tended leaving St. Louis anyhow, as she is too well known here.

Christmastide Exercises at the Shepard The Chief Signal Office Accepts the Lease School Kindergarten. There was a general jollification at the kindergarten attached tothe Shepard School in South St. Louis this morning. The Shepard School decided early in the month to be in advance of the other kindergartens in the matter of a Christmas celebratiqn and the tote were notified to prepare themselves for surprises to-day. The room in which the diminutive minds of the coming crop of low grade pupils are first drawn out was elaborately and tastily decorated with flags, banners, loud-colored draperies and streamers of ribbons. In an alcove of the room a majestic Christmas tree laden with the conventional candy box, perforated blower and kerchief receptacle. The children accompanied by their parents their big brothers and sisters, arrived at 9 o’clock, and were marched to their seats around the long tables in the middle of the room. — ps worried through the openin prayer and they stood the opening hymn wit a torbearance that would have been a credit to older heads. They waited patiently for the ‘‘teachers’ good morning, and they re istered no objection to the ‘‘children’s good morning. They listened to the ‘‘wel- come to parents’’ and they gave voice to it, too, with a heroism that elici the warmest approval from their trainers. But all these things were done in a purely perfunctory manner. Their mouths moved and their ears heard, but these organs were with their hearts and they were with the Christmas tree and the Santa Claus who stood outside waiting for his cue to come in and distribute the gifts. After the prayer, the hymn, the wel- come and the good morning with the regular programme began with songs. The titles of the sons were suggestive of child life, and their interpretation carried the suggestion out.

These were the songs. Then the youngsters filed out, the tables were removed, the big Christmas tree taken from its alcove and placed in the middie of the room and Santa Claus was brought in. He. was not the old wooden chestnut with white sand on dis whiskers and cotton on his head, with asphinx expres- sion on his countenance, butareal, live, pal- itating Santa Claus, with genuine goat’s- air beard and his pocketsfull of goodies. Every bit of offspring in the establish- ment was a beneficiary at his generous hands and he proved to be the star of the performance. Pecans, English wal- nuts, burned almonds and glucose candy were drugs on the market for an hour or more and over one hundred and twenty-five small-sized stomachs were glutted with these delicacies. When the sweetmeats had been demolished 125 tiny hands clasped a like number of the same commodity and the Christmas games were played. Thetities of the games were a trifle inclined toward the feathery kingdom, but as in the songs the suggestion of youthful- ness was more prominent. At noon the festivities were over and the children dismissed. The exercises were par- ticipated in by the morning and afternoon divisions of the kindergarten and were supervised by Misses Moliie E. Meisinger, Lillie P. ohnson, Ada McCann and Laura Meidell. Kindergarten exercises for Christmastide were also had at the Lyon School, on Pestalozzi and Eighth streets, but the majority will be held to-morrow, when all the kindergartens in the city will close for the holidays.

In the new buffet boudoir cars, running be- tween St. Louis and Chicago, on the Wabash, you can enjoy all the privacy of your own home. MATTERS IN COURT.

GOOD FOR SANTA CLAUS, A Cold Wave Will Celebrate Christmas iz St. Louis. „We are going to have a cold wave, said Sergt. Weber, this afterngon, a genu- ine Christmas wave, not very cold, you understand, but just enough to make it seem like a real Christmas.’’ The wave will begin to make itself felt here to-night, the black flag flying already this afternoon in all ite glory. The wave is due to a sudden fall in the temperature in the Northwest and a low barometer areain the Southwest which will draw thecold South. The official prediction is for a fall here of from 15 to 20 deg. This would make the cold at the outside not much below 18 or 29 degs., the temperature this morning — 1 37 deg. The coldest place in the count his moruing was Moorhead, Minn., where it was 10 deg. , below zero. . SJACOBS OJ], PROOFS POSITIVE.

President Von der Ahe of the Brown Stock- ing Club to-day received a letter from Presi- dent A. G. Spalding of the Chicagos in refer- ence to the proposed series of spring games with the Browns. He suggests that three games de played in St. Louis, one at Louisville, and one at Cincinnati. The dates named by Mr. Spald- ing are April7,8 and 9 àt St. Louis, April 12 at Louisville, and April 13 at Cincinnati. This will leave four games remaining, and these Mr. Spalding suggests to lay over until the fallwhen three of them can be played at Chicago, and the ground on which the odd one will be contested can be chosen at the time. Mr. Spalding, as a reason for allowing the last four games to go over, says that the weather in Chicago will render ball playing there in the month of April utterly impossible. The der Ahe replied Mr. Von As tothe games suggested by Mr. Spaiding for Louisville and Cincinnati, Mr. Von der Ahe says he desires to wait before making any definite arrangements for them. The correspondence, however, clinches the nego- tiations and another series of world’s cham- pionship games is a certainty. — — — THE LEAGUE’S PREDICAMENT, Will Kansas City Go or Willa Tenth Club be Added? A dispatch from Indianapolis dated Decem- ber 21 says that several enthusiasts in the national game in that city have been in cor- respondence with representatives of the National League with a view of establishing a ague team at Indianapolis next year. The jispatch further states that encouragement in the idea has been extended to the projectors ofthe scheme by the League. The only in- ference possible to draw from these statements, provided they are true, is that the League — contemplates taking in another, a tenth city. A. G. Spalding in fact has intimated that such a thing may be doge. Should a tenth city be taken into the League Kansas City will then have no cause for fear, but well posted League men say that the cowboys will surely go. This prophecy they base on the fact that Kansas City openly made application to the Americas Association for admission to its ranks; that it endeavored to urchase the franchise of the St. uls League club, and that the League now holds its blank resignation. — | also claim that 14 chat about a tent city is merely talk and that the Eastern man- agers or a majority of them are perfectly satisfied with its seven older clubs together compact and strong as a base ball organiza. tion, while with the addition of such a club as Indianapolis, or any other one-horse town could scrape together it would resolve itself into a cumbersome, long-drawn-out, and weaker Whatever Spalding ma at least probable that the other League managers will have a word to Base Ball Briefs.

The Race for the New York Senatorship— The Speakership. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEW Tonk, December 23.—The atmosphere was quiet around the Senatorial headquarters yesterday. There were no new developments. The friends of Miller and Morton profess great confidence, but are doing less talking than formerly. As an offset to the figures of Con gressman Burleigh, giving Miller fifty votes, for their candidate forty-two, on the first bal- lot, the friends of Morton claim fifty-two votes, forty-two in the Assembly and ten in the Senate. In the judgment of conservative men the figures given bv both sides are exag- erated. There are still enough uncertain votes leave the matter in doubt. Mr. Hiscock left for Syracuse last evening. The announcement ismade by one of Gen. Husted’s friends that the ‘‘bald eagie’’ will open headquarters at the Delevan House in Albany next Thureday, and officially prociaim his candidacy for the Speakership. he fact that Husted is a candi- date for the Speakership has been known for some time, but the final announcement of it will unsettle the calculations of some of the other candidates. According to the present programme, arranged by his managers, Fre- mont Cole will not be drawn out of the race. Frank M. Arnold of Otsego was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night. He said he had no intention of retiring from the speakership contest, and thought the fight would be be- tween Gen. Husted and himself. In his judg- ment, however, the opponents of Baker had underestimated his strength. Mr. Baker, he thought, would have more votes in the caucus than he had been credited with. Mr. nold is very popular among bis associates, and he has taken special pains to keep from forming any entangling alliances with the other candi- dates. He is on friendly terms with them all, aud is in a position to draw thelr support should a deadiock occur: WATCHES FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS. LADIES’ GOLD, $25, So, $35, $40, $50 and $60.

Brockmeier Up Before Judge Cady this Morning. Delegate J. C. Brockmeier was tried in tne First District Police Court this morning on a charge of disturbing the peace. Sergt. Hall, Mr. Meyer and several other witnesses testi- fled that there had been a runaway about 4p. m. on the lith inst., and that quite a crowd gathered at the corner of Eleventh street and Park avenue. Delegate Brockmeier, who was under the influence of 1 to their testimony, stopped uggv on the crossing there, sothattwo ladies wha came along were unable to pass. Sergt. Hall or- dered him to drive off, ae he was obstructing the crossing, but Brockmeier refused to move. Finally he moved off that crossing on to an- other, blockading that, and ali the time he swore at the officer and dared him to arrest him, The Sergeant said Brockmeier was too drunk to know what he was talking about. As he could not get him to keep still or mcve away, he finally arrested him. Mr. Brockmelier admitted stopping on the crossing, but claimed that it was filled with other ple, so that even if he did move off it would still be obstructed. When ordered to move off he toid the officer to move the rest ot the crowd, and Hall ordered him to get out ot his buggy. This got him angry and excited and they ex- changed some words, and he was arrested” After being told to move from the crossing he drove around the corner and his buggy was standing there when arrested. He denied swearing at the officer in the presence of the ladies and said that while he might have been a little under the influence of liquor ke was not drunk. Mr. Curtis, a friend, corroborated the delegate’s testimony, but said Sergt. Hall had ordered Brockmeier off the crossing sev- eral times before he went. He said the dele- ate threatened to have the Sergeant removed rom the force. Curtis said Brockmeler ap- aon to be slightly under the influence of iguor. Judge Oady fined the defendant $5.

LIPP’S LUCK. A Peculating Postmaster Robbing the Mail in a Penitentiary. . WasHINGron, D. C., December 23.—A very curious situation has been developed in the pending pardon case of John Lipp, formerly Assistant Postmaster at Lincoln, Ill. He was convicted of repeatedly robbing the mails and sentenced to three years in the Penitentiary. He has served out halt his term. A long peti- tion for his pardon was recently received at the Department of Justice, signed by a! number of the citizens o nooln, without ditions under which it will be sailed will be shortly. r Most of the raw material used in the manu. BIG FIGURES, BEVIEW OF THE COAL TRADE FOR THE YEAR JUST PASSING AWAY. The Lead and oh Busincses Shows Up With Some Figures Which Encourage Those In- terested—Carpet Trade in St. Louis—Busi- ness Statistics Which are Very Interesting. The following reviews of business in 8. Louis for the past year contain some figures of interest to all citizens. ) Coal. The year just closing has been an eventful one in the coal ‘business, but fortunately no bad effect has been felt so far by consumers. The total receipts here forthe year were 50,- 000.000 bushels, an increase of nearly 1,500,000 bushels over 1885. Very * variations in prices took place for the year. The contracts made on a sliding scale based on mining prices sustained very small variations as there were no serious or X — disturbances in the mining districts. The manufacturers’ contracts were closed at figures ranging from 7 to 8 cents, ac- cording to location, hauling distance, eto. For family consumption the price at the open- ing of the year was 10 cents, having continued atthat figure since the fall of 1855, but came down to 9% eents. Another %-cent reduc- tion occurred in March of this year and a few months later it decreased a cent without any real cause, except that the demand had fallen off and the reduction was made to keep the teams going. In August the miners raised % a cent per bushel for digging and a consequent raise in the price to 94; made then has since prevailed. In May the agents of a new company ap- proached the mine owners in the Illinois coal regions with requests for selling prices an an option on the properties for thirty, sixty and ninety days. The responses to these requests were quite extensive. On receiving the figures the agents reported to their employers and the Consoli- dated Coal Company was then formed and they began buying the mines at once. The plan was to obtain control of as many mines as possible within the district on which St. Louis is de- pendent. In some twelve or fifteen cases the owners either refused to fix selling prices or placed them so high that the negotiations stopped short without a sale. Some other roperties nearly worked out were not taken. t was thought that the Consolidated Company would force up prices, and several owners under this impression retained possession of some good mines. So farthe company has disappointed the suspicion, and resident Ridgely stoutly protests that such is not the intention, and thatthe new company will be content with fair prices and the increased business brought by the udicious care of the shipping features of the business. The other mine-ownero have formed a com- pany, known asthe Consumers’ Coal Company, which is prepared to meet any raise with warm competition. The Consolidated Com- pany obtained possession of | seventy-six mines located in St. Clair, Madison, Macoupin, Washington and Vermillion Counties, DBunois, and within a radius of fifty miles from this ae The purchase money/was $2,750,000, the eferred payments bringin the total cost up to $3,000,000. The) capital of the company is $5,000,000. Many of the mines ac- uired by this purchase we bad condition, the entries having been neglected and the ma- chinery being in bad repair. This required additional expenditures. The supply of coal at hand is inexhaustible and the natural facilities unequaled by any mining district in the West. The Illinois district adjacent to St. Louis has none of the impediments to mining met with in the Northern portion of the State or in low lands where the excavated veins are frequently filled with water and gases, com ar check- ing work, and frequently causing disasters. In the district above described there are eight veins of coal, five of which can be profitably worked. The upper vein is 7 feet thick and shows no sign of givingout. Itis roofed naturally and by rock layers in —— instances, auording the best facilities for working. This district can, if required, produce 100,000,000 bushels per year. Its only competing fields are at Ches- ter and the Big Muddy fields, and in this State at Rich Hill and Lexington and along the Han- nibal & St. Joe Railroad. The territory which can be profitably sup- —— by St. Louis during the winter embraces fissouri, except the localities named; Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, Nebraska and even to Min- nesota. At present St. Louis is maggie | large profits from Chicago consumption, and is now onipping 125 cars of coal per day to the City by the ke and selling it on the tracks there at better profit than can be made in the yards of the St. Louis Union Depot coal yards. To-day Chicago is paying 8 cents for its St. Louis coal. uring the coming year much will be done to improve the ship- ping interests. Arrangements are now on foot to secure the use of cars on the economical plan followed by the anthracite companies so that the cargoes of coal can be replaced on the return trips by other shipments. Coal men — 4 that this city will handle more coal uring the coming year than was ever before produced by the St. Louis companies. Lead and Oil. Mr. Thomas Richeson, President of the Col- lier Lead and Oil Company, kindly made a statement regarding the business of the pest year in that business. St. Louis, 0 said, had the largest lead milis in the United States. There are three here, the Collier, Southern and St. Louis. The City of St. Louis sends the prod- ucts of her lead milie to all parte of the United States. Therearein the Kepublic be- tween sixty-fiye and seventy lead and oil mills, and this eity is able to compete in any territory with them. Her ability to do this is due to her situation; der proximity to the raw material and her position as a shipping point. While thus able to compete, however, in all parte of the United States, the most proũt- able and largest trade is what is called the home trade—that within a radius of 500 miles. The output of the Collier Company, which is the largest of the three St. Louis con- cerns, consequently the largest in the United States, and therefore a good indicator of the condition of the trade, is about 10,000 tons of white lead in oll per annum, 300,000 gallons of linseed ajl, 250, allons of castor oil, 100 tons of red lead and litharge and 200 tons of bar, pipe and sheet lead. The output for 1686 in white lead had fallen Off about B per cent. This decrease in the business was due to twothings. First, there was the fact that in 1885 the jobbers were well stocked and the spring of 86 found them so; secondly, the rikes of last March caused a general de- pression in building trades and the usual activity in white lead which 1s felt in March, April and May did not occur. Even after the labor trouble had subsided the jobbers ordered timidly and men who in in former years had ordered by the car-loads only bought by the ton, living, as it were, ina hand-to-mouth way. While this was true, however, the prices had been rather better than those of 188. In the manufacture of castor oil, 1886 had exceeded 1885 by about 100,000 lons. This is a manufactured product r ated entirely by the 8 It is the custom of the farmers raise castor beans when it will pay to do so. The crop is a troublesome one to handle and when the cereais promise as Well or better the farmers do not plant the beans. The output of the United States mills in castor oli never more than supplies the country. In 1885 the crop of castor née was so insufficient for home needs that quantities were impo from the West Indies. Owing to a better understanding among the mills on this product a better price was promised the farmers and the crop Increased first stated. heavy machinery, no other lubricator, whether i e e, kee cool such | animal or vegetat oping arge too, in th ters’ ink, the dressing er, and for various other which make itan important article and commerce. — — even with Mexico and Canada, her proximity tothe immensely N flelds of Spain and Germany enabling her to do this. The great difficulty with which St. Louis has to contend,’’ Mr. cheson said, ‘‘is the freight discrimination. Inthe South and Southeast rates are given to New York which are unfair to St. Louis, but that is true in ail trades. Aside from Boston and San Francisco there is perhaps no city in the United States that does not pay in this direct way tribute to New York. The railroads haul her stuff almost at a loss and muke good the shortage by rate discriminatin ainst other cities.’ The lead and oll business was one of the last to feel a commercial depression, but at the same time was also the last to recover from it. The bright outlook in that line was therefore encouraging for all others. Carpets. While well supplied with retail stores in that line, St. Louis has but one jobbing-house handling carpets. Mr. L. Renard of the firm of Trorlicht & Duncker furnished the in- formation regarding St. Louis’ dusiness in that department of trade. He said: Our territory embraces the States of Lilinois, Missouri, Kansas and Texas and parts of lowa and Nebraska. Our competition is from the cities of New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. There are no other cities besides these and St. Louis that can be considered carpet markets. In Chi o,even,there are no exclusively carpet jobbing houses, but the carpets are carried b Wholesale dry goods men, such as Marshall Field & Co. and others. There are about six such dealers there, and their combined trade is nearly three times that of St. Louis. Our house does a retail as well as a jobbing trade. Our sales in both departments last year were slightly over a million dollars, an in- crease of from 10 to 12 per cent over the business of 1885, which fell slightly under a million, Of this total amount the retail trade was nearly one-half. Our sales in the jobbing line are made by traveling salesmen, of whom we employ seven in the territory named. Their seasons of work are in the months of January and February, Jul and August. Our first season of this year was just over and the goods shipped and delivered this year when the strike occurred, so that did not affect our business as it probably did that of some others. Just how far we were affected by the subseguent —— ne it caused, we cannot say, as at that time we were increasing our business and facilities and could not meas- ure its effect as we could have done had we not being making these extra efforts. For the jobbing trade we buy from the mills of Phila- delphia and the States of New York and New Jersey. The tapestry Brussels and ingrain carpets lead in the jobbing trade. Imported goods are only for the retail trade. “Our retail business this year was an increase of 1 per cent over that of last. The heaviest in the retail line are April September and October, but the trade is pretty steady throughout the year. The carpet trade is not as sensitive as other business. The goods are rather staple and do not fluctuate with the raw material market as groceries do. The mille lay in their supplies for the year about seventy days preceding the seasons named. The average price of that material regulates their prices for the year which are once given and are standard. or this reason the carpet trade is very close. There are not the same margins in it that there are in other lines.’’ In regard to the railroads Mr. Renard said that the house felt fairly well treated. There wers isolated cases of discrimination but not worth complaining of. The gentleman thought he tendency of the railroads was to do the fair thing and that more consideration would be shown the city in the future. It was too early yet to pre- dict the business of the coming year but he felt hopeful and there was no reason to be otherwise. He said also that there were but few failures in the carpet line. The trade throughout the country was mainly in the — of furniture men and on a very secure asis. Hats and Caps. The hat and cap business of St. Louis has advanced steadily since last year, and well- posted traders like Maj. C. C. Rainwater and J. W. Boogher claim that, with the exceptions of one house in New York and another in Chicago, St. Louis has three firms each of which do a larger jobding business than any two houses in other large cities of the United States. As compared with last year, this year’s sales show an increase of about 25 per cent. In round figures, it is estimated, local jobbers bave disposed of $8,000,000 worth of goods. These sales were made by six firms, and do not include the sales ofanumber of smaller dealers and hat and cap manufacturers whose business brings the figures up an additional $500,000, making a total of about three and one-half miilions of dollars. The largest pos of the St. Louis hat and cap business is done with Arkansas, Texas, Kansas and Missouri. A large trade is also held in sections of the country which do not come to this market for any other articles of commerce, as, for instance, Minne- sota, Michigan and the Northwest, are fur- nished with soft hats by the local trade. All of the larger firms have agents located in Illinois, north of Quincy, and sell goods at the very door of Chicago houses. Southern mer- chants not infrequently stop over here to bu head -gear, while eon route to Cincinnati for clothing and New York fordry goods, Fortunately railroad dis- crimination has not interfered with this line of trade and merchants here are fully able to meet competitors in any market within what is generally considered St. Louis territory. he reputation of the local hat and cap market rests securely upon the superior uality and low price of soft hats. That goods are sold cheaper here is evidenced by the extensive tra‘le which makes this the most prominent hat and cap center of the United States. Very few stiff are used in the South and West, hence the * ance of soft hats the total of sales. Soft hats are sold here of a quality which can- not be procured in Eastern markets. Sales of soft hats 1 lots at as high as 880 and $90 per UKosen wholesale are frequent here, om such prices are never received in other cities. Altogether the local trade congratulate themselves upon the past year’s iner. in business and feel very much enco ed at the outlook for next season’s trad There are a great many silk umbrellas in the market at $5, but the finest one is sold by T.

NEW YORK, December 3.—James Gallagher was driving up Park Row yesterday morning with a wagon-load of newspapers, when bis horse shied at u cloud of steam that rose from a deep hole in front of the Potter Building. Before Gallagher could pull him up the horse plunged through the scant wooden rails that surrounded the nole and fell into it sideways. The excavation was made by workmen of the New York Steam Heating Company nearly two weeks ago, and has been left uncovered ever since. At night a dim lantern burns Over it. At the is the many steam pipes, barrel and always scalding hot. The hole is 10 feet long and 6 wide. At first the horse’s hind legs rested on the bottom near the big pipe, and his head and shoulders lay on he pile of rails and stones alongside the ex- cavations. Gallagher quickly got the wagon clear. Another wagon soon came and carried the papers to South Brooklyn. All this time the horse's — were being scorched by the hot pipes, and he was driven wild by the clouds of steam that rose around him. Po- liceman McQuade and half a dozen other men tried to haul the horse out of the hole, He hurried around to the Temple Court and got a rope anda lantern. When he fan back the horse was out of sight and a crowd of more than one hundred men were looking down in the pit. The horse’s struggles had thrown him to the bottom. He was yng on the scalding hot pipe and screamed in his agony. McQuade lowered his lantern but could not see a foot away so thick was the cloud of steam. No one dared go ‘down into the hole with the maddened horse and try and rig a rope around him. So the beast was left to suffer. At daylight * — AMUSEMENTS.

By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. Rep Bank, N. J., December 23.—Mrs. West, who eloped from here some time ago with Fredrick Rockwell aud who, with him, was captured in Kansas City, has become reconciled with her hus- band, and Rockwell has left the place. The reconciliation was effected in a most dramatic manner. Since his wife eloped, West and his children have been living with his rel- atives at North Long Branch. Tuesday at midnight West was aroused. He went to the door and was astonished to see his wife on the thresbold. @ was accompanied by Detec- tive Patterson who had arrested Rockwell, and had driven from Red Bank to see her children. West says his Wife importuned him to let her have her children again, or else kill her as life without the little ones was un- supportable. With tears and prayers she craved this boon. West, who was overcome with emotion, clasped herto his breast and freely forgave her. Then Mrs. West's little was dressed and sent back to Red Bank his mother. Yesterday the two other children were sentto the same place and in the evening West went to the litte- house where the family will live. The news of the reconciliation created a sensation. Those who feel for his children, commend his course. West cares but little for the popular and . says duty. West was esterday to meet a member of firm which Rockwell, it is — ag em- deszled tunds from. This man greatly feared that Rockwell would jump his bail, and to bring him once more within the jurisdiction of the court wanted West to begin suit for 1 000 damages against Rockwell for alienating is wife’s affections. West refused positively todoso. Since his wife’s return est has been placed in possession of evidence that shows beyond doubt that the unknown **friend’’ who constantly kept Rockwell in- formed of affairs in Red Bank during the ab- pence ofthe elopers is a well-known resident is place. This man, West says, the elopement and per- the arrangements of the flight of the pair. Besides all this he advanced money to enable the pair to — Rockwell, so West says, held a secret which if divulged might blast the reputation ofthis man, hence it was to his interest to have Rockwell out of the way. It is said that after the attempt to mob Rockwell last Satur- day Mrs. West became fearful that she, too, ht be harmed, and she determined to have nothing more to do with Rockwell.

Some New Facts Regarding the Publication by the Amsterdam Paper. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcn. AMSTERDAM, N. I., December 28.—The ex- citement over the exposing of the secret work of the Knights of Labor has subsided as the investigation into the origin of the disclosures progressed. The affidavit made by the editor of the paper which first published the secret work, and hardly credited, was made, it is supposed, to throw the investigators off the scent.

THE SPOTTED NEGRESS. Death of Mrs. Jacob Eldridge Whose Skin Changed from Black to White. HOWELL, Mich., December 28.— Mrs. Jacob Eldridge, Howell’s strange freak of nature, the old colored woman who has been gradually turning white for several years, died here yes- terday. She has been ill for several months, but it is not thought that the peculiarly strange change in color which she underwent had any- thing to do with her last illness. The greater art of her body is now a healthy lily white. er husband, who wasa pioneer of this county, died Tuesday morning. Mrs. Eldridge’s grandfather was a Guiana man, and her ancestors are full-blooded negroes as far as is known. The natural color of Mrs. Eldridge was quite dark, even for her race, and there was nothing peculiarly noticeable about it until she was quite advanced in years. Quite a number of years ago she noticed a spotof white abeut the size of a silver dollar upon her right leg. Inthe course of a few months others appeared upon various parts of her body, rather more prominent upon her limbs than body. In time these grew together until most of her body became white. For the last few years the change has appeared to follaw the principal nervesand in time crept up the spinalcord and upon her forehead. About the time that the change reaehed the forepart of her hair, streaks oi white began to appear upon each side of her chin and meeting at ber mouth. One peculiarity is that wherever the change came ‘twas complete. There is no fading of the white off into the black through the various shades of ay, as would be ex- pected. Instead o this, the white and dlack are distinctly divided. The color of the changed portion is of a clear, healthy, lily whiteness, and one would hardly believe, to look at the arm of Mrs. Eldridge, that it was not the arm of a white lady. During all the change Mrs. Eldridge suf- fered no in convenience whatever from it, and never felt any kind of sensation either of itching, nervousness or pain that could be attributed to that cause. It has seemed to gradually go on without affecting her feelings or health in any manner whatever. Coming to this country in 1852, the particulars of this strange case are within the knowledge of all citizens whe know fully of its genuineness. When interviewed, Dr. Coleman said: ‘‘I was first called to see her about the first of April. I cannot see that there is any skin dis- ease. In the skin of the negro there is a pig- mentary deposit and in this caseI think it but the absorption ofthis deposit as far as the skin is concerned. I never heard of a similar case.

New YORK, December 23.—Over the base- ment of a five-story tenement on the north side of Hester street and a few rods west of Essex streetis a sign containing, in the mid- dle, a picture of a fish, with the name of J. Jaffeon one side and the words ‘‘Fish Mar- ket’’ on the other. In the rear of the store is the kitchen, in which the maid-of-all-work, Zenia Levy, sleeps. In one corner of the room stands a small safe in which the fish dealer keeps his vaiuables. The servant was awakened Sunday night by having the muzzle of a pistol placed against her temple and having some one whisper in her ear, Keep stil, or Il kill vou. Miss Levy does not understand English very well, but she understood him, When she was thus silenced, another man bound her hands with ropes, and then bending her body for- ward in the shape of a V, he bound her hands and her feettogether. This done, a cloth into which the contents of a bottle had been emp- tied, was pnt to her nose. The fumes, she says, had the effect of rendering her incapable of crying out or making a noise, although she remained entirely conscious of what followed. Tied up as she was, sabe heard the burglars approach the safe in which she knew much of her mistress’ money and all her jewelry were contained, and yet she could do nothing to — 4 them. The burglars secured 51,600 in cash and diamonds valued at over $2,000.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., December 23.—About 10 o’cleck last night three men drove up in front of the large jewelry store of J. R. Elliott, corner of Nicollet avenue and Third street. Two of the men jumped from their sleigh, while the third held the horses. One of the men carried a heavy stick of wood, with which he smashed the large plate-glass show- windew, in which were trays of diamonds, watches and jewelry, hurriedly seized all the available and threw them into the while his accomplices crowds of people that the streets at bay with cocked revol- vers. Before anything could be done to ap- prehend them, both men had jumped into the sleigh and drove rapidly up the street, the driver wildly lashing the horses and the rob- bers standing with revolvers poiated at the crewd. They secured between $6,000 and $7,000 worth of diamonds and watches. For bold- ness and daring this excels the James broth- ers’ exploits. The streets were unusually crowded and scores of people were looking at the — 21 in Elllott’s windows at the time of therobbery. Several policemen were within a half dlock of the scene, but could not get there in time to apprehend the thieves. Help Them.

Mr. Jones’ “A Noble Vagabond”—Artistic Illustrations of English Scenes—A Fortu- nate Maid—Patti’s Plans for Her Niece’s Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. „The Noble Vagabond, a new play by Mr. Henry Arthur Jones, the author ot The Su- ver King,’’ ‘‘Saints and Sinners,’’ and other well-known pieces, was produced at the Prin- cess’ Theater last evening. It is a melodrama of the prevalent English school, having noth- ing strikingly original in the plot, but being well-constructed throughout and crowded with effective situations. There is a miserly old man much after the Gaspard type; an En- glish country gentleman whose house and land are mortgaged to the aforementioned old miser za villain, the son ofthe miser, who takes advantage of the mortgage by trying to com- pel the daughter of the ENGLISH COUNTRY GENTLEMAN to marry him and a good and braye young man who thwarts the scheme. There are four acts but the piece culminates in the third, the story being well sustained up to that point and the lastact is simply explanatory. The movement was brisk and the stage mechanism was perfect. At the opening of the third act there was one of finest autumn scenes with an English country house in the background ever painted for a London theater. As soon as it was revealed it produced the most gen- erous applause. Atthe close ofthe third act there was a wonderfully realistic and striking representation of an OLD ENGLISH FAIR. The principal people of the cast, Charles Warner, George Barrett, Julian Cross and Miss Dorothy Dene were all excellent, Mr. Barrett in alow comedy part and Miss Dene as the heroine being particularly strong. Miss Dene isa remarkably handsome woman and her costumes were unique and beautiful. ‘‘A Noble Vagabond“ is a strong piece and will be as great as the Silver King. It is. sure to go to America and will be quite as popular there as here. Miss Vane, who went from here to take a place at Wallack’s Theater and who had to give up her engagement because of ill health, has returned te ndon much worse. The voyage had a bad effect and she was al- most entirely helpless from paralysis when she arrived. There is little or no hope of her recovery. — n. THE AMERICAN BALLET. The Settlement Proposed with the Dis- . charged Italian Dancers. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEw YORK, December 23.—The twelve Italian ballet girls who were recently discharged from the National Opera Company in Chicago claim $485 each under their contract with the company. This is the amount which they would have earned for the rest of the season. Through their representative, Sig. Ellero, they enlisted the interest of the Italian Con- sul, whose attorney, Dr. Ullo, has been asked to protect the interest of the girls. They were anxious to sue forthe full amount of their claims with damages, but Dr. Ullo advised them that they had neither time nor the money necessary for acivil suit, and that, in the most favorable event, there could be no profit to them inasuit. He undertook to arrange a SETTLEMENT WITH MR. EATON, the counsel of the company, who referred the whole matter to Mr. Seymour Locke. Dr. Ullo advised the girls to accept $100 apiece in full settlement of their claims. Mr. Locke offered to pay eacak giri's passage to Italy by whatever line they might choose, and give them $20 apiece for contingent expenses on condition that they relinquish their contracts. The girls will consider the offer. Dr. Ullo, while — their claims for $100 apiece, has advised the girls to accept the proffered $70 rather than go to law. Mr. cke says that $840 has been raised by friends of the opera company with which to send the girls home, and choice has been given them between $20 in cash and a passage to ＋ 2 or $70 in cash with leave toremain. This offer is made upon the assumptien that the girls are really destitute, but the opera company will not recognize their claims as valid nor PAY ANY OF THIS AMOUNT. It is said that the girls have been led to re- ject this offer, if they do reject it, by a lawyer who has offered to pay their expenses to Milan, and take their claims against the company on speculation. All the discharged chorus girls who were Americans have put their claims in this lawyer’s hands, and it is said that some of the Italians will do the same thing. Mr. Parry, the assistant stage manager of the com- pany, said last night that he believed the com- pany was never stronger than at present and that it only needs to get to a basis of system- atic business to make a success. !—— — — — ä FORTUNATE MAID. Patti’s Plans to Provide For Her Brother Carlo’s Daughter. By Tefegraph to the Posr-Disrarcu. NEW ORLEANS, December 23.—When Adelina Patti was here three years ago, she placed her | dead brother Carlo’s daughter in the Locquett Leroy Institute under the care of the Misses Moise. The little Carlina was an only child, and though her mother lived in town for greater convenience she boarded in the Academy. Ever since that time the girl has been going smoothly on with her school duties and until yesterday, when her famous aunt revealed her plans for the young girl’s fut- ure, it promised to be as unevent- ful as ordinary lives. Patti’s brother Carlo was for years leader of the orchestra in the old Varieties Theater. He married a creole lady, Mile. Deschampe. Mlle. Carlina shows her warm Italian blood in a pair of big dusky ag and a lovely scariet mouth, with the olive skin and dark hair of her family. She reached her 16th birthday just before her relative ar- rived here and received some costly presents from both Nicolini and Adelina. Mme. Patti has made all arrangements for her niece. W bile she and her party go through Texas and Mexico, Carlina will remain with the Misses Moise. In February the Prima Donna will be in Cincinnati, where the young girl will join them en route for Europe. Already measurements have gone to New York with in- structions to have ready against their arrival in the spring a full and elegant outfit for the fortunate maiden. Even the jewel to be worn with the costumes has been included in the direction. They will have the celebrated and lovely castie ‘‘Craig y Nos’’ as their des- tination. This will be Carlina’s future home. While her decided musical taient is to be highly cultivated, she is never to think of the operatic stage as a profession. Amusement Notes.
