By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPraTcn. Curcago, III., December ?2?7.—Trhe account of the capture of Jim Cummings and his pals is as follows: Last Friday morning between 10 and 11 o’clock wo men entered Sparboro Bros.’ saloon, corner of Lincoln and Madison streets. One of them had been for the past three months a customer of the place, He was dressed ina dark suit of clothes, with a reefer jacket of blue cloth, and a slouch hat. He was a rather short man, perhaps 5 feet 7 inches in height, and weighed about one hundred and forty-five pounds. He bad sandy hairanda clean-shaven face. He had been in the habit of visiting Sparboro Bros.’ once or twice a day, and always came alone, asking for a glass of beer, placing a nickel on the counter and going out without a word. On Friday morning he was accompanied by a very tall man, over six feet in height, correspondingly heavy build and dark complexion. He had 11 mustache, but no beard, The two men drank 1 giass of beer and Jeft the saloon. Justas they emerged from the door three officers, only one of whom owas known to Mr. boro, and whose name is ö CAUGHT THE TWO MEN them into the saloon, room. Here a few rolls Allen, retiring search of and took search was progress- ing another officer entered with another prisoner, who had been arrested ontéide. He gas a short man, of extremely muscular a, dressed in the height of fashion. His complexion was light and his mustache sandy. The officers were search- ing the large man when the third prisoner was broughtin. Then they be- gan to search the second prisoner. At this the third man FLEW INTO A DESPERATE RAGE, and jumping forward tried to prevent the search. He was confronted by a revolver. and the order given: ‘‘You sit down there, Jim Cummings. He replied: coal office over here on Lake street. sat down just the same. Then from one pocket after another of the second prisoner, the officer pulled roll after roll of bank bills, packages of hundreds of dollars were taken from him and placed in a handkerchief lying on a table. As to the amount of money recovered from phim, it is intimated that it was about $10,000. THE THIRD PRISONER was very restiess and continued to exclaim that the money was his, and that he had given it to the second man to keep. Atter the search was completed a car- riage was called, the men and the officers en- tered it and were driven away. WHO JIM CUMMINGS WAS. On the corner of Lake and Lincoln streets is a coal office, which was occupied by a man who gave his name as Fred Wittrock. He came here a year ago last March and answers perfectly to the description of the latter man mentioned above. He lived across the street from his coal-office, over Largen’s clothing store. His wife, a nice-looking lady, whom he called Rose, was his Only companion. They had no children. Wittrock assotiated with no one, but seemed to be doing a prosperous business. On Friday the teamsters working for him began to think that SOMETHING WAS WRONG. Saturday and Sunday were holidays, and to- day Constable Haskins of Justice Brayton’s court closed up the office. Nothing could be found this morning of Mr. Wittrock or his wife and, as far as can de ascertained, they have not been seen since the arrest of um Cummings’’ On Friday morn- ing. About this time . Wittrock was in- structing some of the teamsters about the de- livery of some Christmas presents which she was sending away. A reporter, who calied at the house this afternoon, found the door locked and no one responded to repeated knocks. To hell with you!

Five Persons — Keeping By Telegraph to the Post-DisPratcu. CRHICAGdO, III., December 27.—‘‘I am now going to make my first statement,“ said Wm. A. Pinkerton, this morning, ‘‘con- cerning the capture of the men implicated in the Missouri Express robbery, and I desire to say right here that not one of the stories published by the papers has been correct, but, on the contrary, they have been A TISSUE OF MISREPRESENTATIONS AND ABSOLUTE FALSEHOODS. Until now it has not been possible for me to furnish any definite information con- cerning the arrests that have been made and the Post-Daspatcu will be the first newspaper to give the facts. It is true that the Pinkerton agency has arrested three men for complicity in the express robbery. but that is absolutely the only correct statement concerning the matter that has been made public. All the rest was pure fiction. TO BEGIN WITH. The men were not arrested last Friday night as the papers have said, but be- tween land 11 o’clock Friday morning. In the next place they were not taken in charge while walking on Halstead street, near the corner of Madison, or on Halstead street at all. The capture was made ata point two miles distant from the intersection of Halstead and Madison streets, but the exact locality I do not care to indicate at the present time. ow, , en we have in—custe- | dy. There are three of them. One is the man who wrote the letters signed ‘Jim Cummings,’ to the St. Louis papers, and the other two are hispartners. Yesterday afternoon THEY WERE POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED by five witnesses who had been brought here from Missouri, and since that time they have been removed from the city to a safe place—not St. Louis, however, These three men have been referred to as gamblers, frequenters of houses of ill-fame, and described generally as rough-and-ready desperadoes. Nothing could be further from the truth, and their capture, brought about through their association with people of the character mentioned. These men have never been known as thieves, but on the contrary two of them have been considered busi- ness men by those who knew them. All the talk about Fotheringham, the messenger in charge of the express car that was robbed, having squealed is nonsense. He has not made 8 confession of any sort, and he was not one of the witnesses who were brought here from St. Louis to identify Cummings“ and his partners. You will understand that I cannot go fully into particulars of the case just now, because THERE IS WORK STILL TO BE DONE. “You may state, however, that we have recovered some of the stolen money, and expect to get a great deal more. The men we arrested were prepared to make a desperate resistance and our operatives were not only fully armed but were pre- pared to shoot somebody in case they were obliged to. THERE WAS A DESPERATE RESISTANCE ON THE PART OF THE ARRESTED MEN, but po shots were fired. Two other ar- rests have been made in connection with the robbery, one being that of Oscar Cook of Kansas City. The other man placed in rita 4 is Bill Haight of Nashville, enn., who was formerly an express messenger. That is all there is to be said at present. Jim Cummings and four other people have been arrested and all are now in Missouri. As soon as other facts are de- veloped I will see that the Posr-Disraron gets them.“ Superintendent Weir. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcn. Chicado, December 27.—Mr. Weir, Western agent of the Adams Express Company, arrived here this morning from Cincinnati and put up at the Grand Paci- fic Hotel.

How the Adams Express Robbers Were Run Down. The information concerning the arrests of the parties implicated in the robbery of the Adams Express car, October 25, at Mincke Station, on the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad, has nm given out in such disconnected dnd home- opathic portions that the general impressions are badly confused. There are two reasons which urge the Pinkerton Detective Agency to observe secrecy in the case. The first is that they have not — recovered the plunder, to which end they are diligently working, and the second is that the evidence developed isnot satisfactory as far as Messenger Fotheringham is concerned. The first is e most important consideration for as soon as the prisoners get into the hands of e lawyers the chances of the Express Company recovering any considerable part of the money is slight. The case has been man- aged by hard work, to which the success so far attained is solely attributable. De- tective Wm. A. Pinkerton denies the pub- lished stories of the woman in the case. THE HISTORY OF THE WORK is as follows: At 2 o’clock on the mornin of the robbery, Superintendent Damse was notified of the facts by wire, and in- structed Messenger Fotheringham to re- turn to this city. When the train arrived Superintendent Damsel and a repre- sentative of Thiel’s Detective Agency took him in charge and obtained a detailed statement of ,he robbery ether with a very accurate description of the robber, who gave his name as Jim Cummings. Two days later the case was turned over to the _ Pinkerton ency on the arrival of Mr. Robert A. Pinkerton its Eastern manager,who was telegraphed for at once. Fotheringhamwas taken in charge and thoroughly examined. The description given by him of the man who robbed him was taken as the starting- int in the case. The story told Engineer Heffernan about the robber’s mission to the car was the first evidence to throw doubt upon the mes- senger’s story. The description, how- ever agreed with Fotheringham’s and hundreds of possible Jim r were inquired into in various parts of the country. The detectives were completely at sea until the Globe-Democrat gave them a new clew. Therem reference was made to a ackage which would arrive at the Union Depot. This was received as programmed in the le!- ter. It included one bit of evidence prob- ably by mistake. This was the copy of a song, such as is sold on the street corners in sheets. On the back of this was written 2108 Chestnut st.“ A visit was paid to the house desig- nated in this city. Itis a boarding house kept by Mrs. Berry, who gave an account of TWO BOARDERS who had rented a room early in the month, but had suddenly left. She had not formed the intimate acquaint- ance of either, though her children, a boy and a irl, h frequently met them in the hall and spoken to them. The men kept irregular hours and apparently were not engaged at any business. Noth- ing peculiar, however, was noticed. Mrs. Berry described the two men, one .of _ whom,.answered, the» of Jim Cummings as given by Messenger Fotheringham and Engineer Heffernan of the Wabash train. The second man was not known, and was accord- ingly christened Richard Roe for the prospective legal proceedings. The letter also gave the location of the plant of edibles, gun and skiff on the St. Charles River. These things were identified by Wm. Bodenheimer, a grocer at St. Charles. He also gave descriptions of the two men to whom he had sold the bacon, but- ter, etc. These descriptions tallied with Mrs. Zerry's boarders and Richard Roe obtained a standing in the case, The inqui was then pushed at the stations on the St. Louis & San Francisco between St. Louis and St. Clair, where the full extent of the robbery became known and Messenger Fotheringham tel- egraphed back. At Pacific another trace of the mysterious: Richard Roe was obtained. A railroad r gu ve a description of a man seen on the plat- form at Pacific on the night of the rob- and again identified Richard Roe. Anindictment was then returned against Messenger D. 8. Fotheringham. Jim Cummings and Richard Roe, and the detectives started on their hunt after the sender of the letters. The search was a general one and the Pinkertons removed their base of operation from this city. This inquiry led to the identification of FRED. WITTROCK. though how the detectives refuse to dis- close as yet. Wittrock is over 6 feet tall, good looking, and usually wears a dark mustache. He hasa slight defect in his * — eye, which causes his head to incline when looking steadily at any object. This, bery however, is not noticeable exceptin close observation. Helived in Leavenworth for a number of years and was employed there by,Burdette, Hise & Co.,stonecutters, as boolk-keeper-. The safe of the concern was robbed one night by some one who had learned the combination. No investigation or prosecution followed but about that time Wittrock severed his connection with the concern. Not long after this he was implicated in the burglary of a restaurant with another man, who was subsequent! recognized as a well-known crook. Witt- rock furnished bond for himself and later for the other prisoner, who left for parts unknown. He became involved in a dis- pute later with a man named Bill Luce, at whom he shot. After this, Wittrock left Leavenworth, where his mother still lives, and went to Quincy, III. About the same time Emma Moore, the proprietress of a house of ill-fame, and awoman with whom Wittrock had been intimate, left also and went to Quincy. Later Wittrock went to Chicago, where he was engaged in the wood and coal busi- ness. He hasa sister living in Leaven- worth, where she is a teacher in the pub- lic schools. WITTROCK VISITED HIS FAMILY early in the summer, and had ed that his sister should return the visit dur- ing the holidays. The searvh also led to the discovery of a man who answered the description of Richard Roe. THIS WAS OSCAR COOK. 1p. m. The operatives went to the house which had been shadowed and rushed on the inmates. d te resist- men, surprise to the detectives who came prepared a fight.

His address was probably ascertained from letters found in the search. He was ar- rested at Nashville, Tenn. In the mean- time the operative at Kansas City was instructed to take Oscar k, alias Richard Roe, into custody. When arrested Cook admitted that he knew Wittrock, but had not seen him for yore. This statement was con y the prisoner’s brother who said Witt- rock had been to visit Oscar only a few weeks ago. Cook made no resistance, as the officer was armed with a capias from the Criminal Court. He was brought to this city, but not turned over to the jail. — — was taken from Nashville and, ao- co g to Pinkerton’s statement, he, is within the reach of the processes o Missourigourts.

A McDonald stated that the published stories were news to him. He was not even aware of the connection of some of the parties with the case.

KNOCKED INTO SPLINTERS. An Express Train Dashes Into a Street Car— Fatally Burned. CHICAGO, December 27.—A few minutes before 7 o’clock this morning a stock- yards car left O’Neil street for the yards with the usual crowd on board. Three minutes later it crossed the bridge over the river and slowly went down the grade toward the tracks of the Chicago & Alton Railroad. The conductor ran ahead to the tracks to see if any train was coming. As he looked down toward the track he saw the St. Louis express dashing down toward the CORRS He signalled the driver to ook out. The driver set the brake, slowly and surely the car slid down the grade and onto the tracks. The driver d conductor yeles to the occupants of bar, but the windows were~thiekly coated with frost, and it was impossible to see out, and the fifteen men and boys did not know of the danger which was now close on them.

It was knocked into splinters and passengers were thrown in every direction. Those who witnessed the accident, rushed to the crossing exvecting to see many dead bodies. But, happily, no one was killed. Four men lay on the ground groaning in pain. They were picked up and taken into a neighboring drug store. A hasty examination was made, and then it was seen that beyond a few slight bruises none of the men had suffered in- jury. In the meantime the train had been checked, but after making sure that no one was killed it proceeded into the city. Fatally Burned. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH.

C., December N.— Gen. John A. Logan, Senator of the United States from TIllinois, died at his house in Washington at 2:55 On yesterday afternoon. His death was quiet and painless. There were with him atthe — end Mrs. Logan, his two children, Mrs. Tucker and Manning Logan; Maj. Tucker, his son-in-law; Geu. Phil Sheridan, Gen. Green B. Raum of Illinois, Judge Symmes’ of Colorado, and several of his immediate friends and servants. Gen. Logan’s' death comes as a great shock to Washing ton people, because there had been no but warning of immediate danger. Tt was known that Gen. Logan was suffering from an unusually severe attack of rheumatism, and that this at- tack had run into rheumatic fever, but every one thought he would pull through. He would, undoubtedly, have recovered had it not been for brain com- plication. The fever reached his brain toward the last and produced congestion, The family had nearly as little warning as the public. They had known that he was very ill, but he had been through so many similar attacks that they could not realize that his iron constitution would not pull him through. The General has suffered no pain for the last two or three days. Early in the week he was deliri- ous. He knew the members of the imme- diate family when they spoke to him, but he imagined that he was at the home of Gen. Leggett in Cleveland. He would keep asking his wife. Mary, why are we here when I’m so sick? Why don’t we go home?’’ Then she would explain to him where he was. He would then dose off only to make the same inquiry again when he awoke. | SINKING FAST. The General began to sink Saturday,and the fever which still clung to him began to attack his brain. was conscious at times, but said little. At 2 o’clook yesterday morning he uttered his last coherent phrase.

Mrs. Logan remained in this prostrate condition so long that it was felt necessary to call her to herself. With great difficulty she was torn away from the bed, She s ered and ap- redto be beside herself with grief, uddenly she saw the widow of the late Senator Miller of California. Mrs. Logan was with Mrs. Miller when the latter’s husband died. Shefell upon Mrs, Mil- ler’s neck and burst into a flood of tears. After a few moments. she lifted up her head and tried to reply to some of the words of comfort and conso- lation that were generally offered her. Dr. Newman said: “Mrs. Logan, he was a brave, pure soul. He has gone to a perfect rest Even in her t grief Mrs. Lo an showed a thoughtfulness for others. See- ing Senator Cockrell near the door with tears of sympathy in his eyes, she ran up to him and said, as she clasped him by the hand, Oh, r. Cockrell, the General always said you were such a true, honest man.” It was plain that Mrs. Logan was nowin an exalted mood from the in- tense excitement and great strain. She said to a lady near her, “I know I am not in my right mind. I do not feel conscious of what has hap- ned.” Finally she was persuaded to eave the room. She turned and said with all of her old fire and determination: „ou must promise that whatever you may find ey do, that you shall not cut my r rling’s body. It was his wish and it is mine, thatit should not be done.” Of course her wishes in this matter would have been law, but it was not the intention of the physicians in at- tendance to have a poste mortem exami- nation. After Mrs. Logan was led out of the room Senator Cullom of Illinois took eharge of the house. He telephoned for Mr. Christy of the Senate, an — 4 ments were made with him to have the entire funeral ceremonies taken in hand by the Senate. HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED. Numerous Callers at the Logan Residence— The Senator’s Recent Struggles. By Telegraph to the Post-DisraTcu. AWasutwatron, D. C., December 27.— The news of thb General's serious illness was ndétcredited by some yesterday morning, but it was sufficiently alarming to send out a string of carriages to his home. The purt of the house was guarded only ya servantat the door. All the Senators in towa, the members of the Illinois dele- gation, the prircipal leaders of Washing- ton society came at some time during the day to inquire or to condole with the be- reayed members of the family. Maj. Tucker, the General’s son-in-law, was the ouly member of the family visible. He, unshaved and ard from watching, stood in the hall and answered patiently as well ashe could the many questions of the callers. At 8 o’clock the announcement was made throughout the house of the General’sdeath. There was an instant hush among the 2 or below, only broken by the sobs of some of the ladies present. The history of the Logans was so well known to everybody that this death meant more than would the ordina- ry loss of a public man. There is not a man, woman or child who does not know of the struggle of Gen. Logan and his wife to have a home of their own in the capital, where his public duties confined him. For years the Logans have lived in modest quarters in private boarding houses without the means for the inde- ndence of a home of their own. 6 Senator and his wife were struggl- like people just setting out on the ourney of life to get a home of their own, Gen. n was in his 6ist year.

GRESHAM, LINCOLN AND HATTON. Tributes to the Character and Worth of the Dead Senator. CaO, December 27.—Judge Gresham said to a reporter last night: The death of Gen. Logan is so sudden that the coun- try will be greatly startled. He hada stronger hold upon the affections of the volunteer soldiers, perhaps, than any one else had; and this was not without reason, for be was the best and stanchest repre- sentative of the volunteers that the war produced. Asa man he was ardent, im- pulsive and at r unjust in this ay 0 eed and money getting, let it be said to his credit that he never used official station for ivate gain. It must be gratifying to his family and friends that there ig no stain upon his personal integrity. Even his most uncompromising political enemies respected his simplicity and honesty of character. Whatever faults he had he was not a mercenary man. From a politi- cal standpoint, I think Gen. Logan has been appreciated more by the American eople inthe last two or three vears than he ever was before, and if his life had been spared he might have held the high- est station within the gift of the people.” EX-SECRETARY LINCOLN. Fx-Secretary of War Lincoln said: r he country at large and our State in particular has lost an able, earnest, ~ right and patriotic citizen and public officer. For years he has been here the unquestioned leader of the Republican party, and his unexpected death creates a void in our organization not easy to be filled. He was aborn leader and always in the lead. His military career, his long continued ag yng | of the Committee on Military Affairs, an his zeal in behalf of all who had worn the uniform, made him their r repre- sentative at Washington, and only those whose claims he represented and those to whom he presented them can know how great a friend our old soldiers have lost.“ EX-POSTMASTER-GENERAL HATTON. Ex-Postmaster-General Hatton: I do not believe there is any public man whose death would be more sincerely mourned than will the death of Gen. Logan. Since Grant died there has been no man so close to those who served in the army. and I do not think any man has been so regarded by old soldiers as their especial friend. In political life he was as aggressive as he wasin military life. His political victo- ries were won . hard fighting und against long odds. o one ever accused him of having a dollar of unearned pub- lic money, and his litical contests were made without the aid of money. — — JOHN ALEXANDER LOGAN. Sketch of the Personal and Political Career of the Dead Soldier-Statesman, John A. Logan was born in Jackson County, Illinois, February, 1826. His edu- cation was limited to the course of the district school. He served inthe Black Hawk war without distinction, and on the outbreak of the Mexican war enlisted as a private in the First Illinois Volunteers. He was distinguished in his regiment for bravery, and was promoted several times becoming a First-Lieutenant before ewar. On his return to Illinois he was elected Clerk of the County Court and eubsequently studied law at the Louisville University, where he graduated in 1852, and wasthe same year admitted to the bar and elected to the Illinois Legis- lature. He was re-elected in 53, 56, and 57, being in the interim Prosecuting-At- torney for Jackson County. In 1858 he was elected to Congress,and very soon after his re-election he resigned to take command of the Thirty-first Illinois Volunteers. In bg “ 1862, he was seriously wounded at Fort Donelson, and wasin March pro- moted to Brevet Brigadier-General. In November, 1862, he was appointed Major- General and was given command ofthe Seventeenth Army Corps in the Vicksburg campaign. He was with Sherman on the march to the sea. After the war, he returned to the Hous of Representatives where he remained until 1871, when he was elected to the Senate succeeding Richard Yates. He was placed on the Republican ticket in 1884 as candi- date for Vice-President and shared the fate of the ticket. Shortly after that de- feat he was a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate, and after a hard fight was elected 77 a majority of one, presentative Sittig of Chicago casting the deciding vote a numerous tie ballots. Duri the — of last October Senator Logan was in St. Louis and spoke to a large gathering at Music Hall. It was after his return to Washington from the round of speechmaking, which included St. Louis, t he became ill. “THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.

Whenever starry-eyed Romance wings her poetic way acrossthe continent, a wafted downward feather or two generally manages to be secured by St. Louls. She won the present festal season in a combina- tion that had its base in the vine-clad boundaries of Henderson, Ky. In that place Mr. Ben Harrison publishes the Henderson News, es of some repute on its native heath, and of respectable connec- tion in the matter of exchanges. His son James,aged 23, is the local editor of the sheet, and in his duties incident to the position, met Miss Olive Crawford of Corydon, Ky. Olive is a blonde of ten- der years and resided with her parents. Her maternal grandfolk lived in Henderson, and this geographical lay of relationship materially bullied her.chanees with the local editor. bout three months in the year she put in the time with the octogenarians, and the other three seasons were filially ex- pended under the paternal roof.

The Arrogant Rale of the Officers of the Or- 1 New Tom, December 7.— The Tribune says: Organized labor seems to be in a bad tangle, whieh grows worse instead of better. The dissatisfaction in the Knightsef Laboris grow- ing more widespread and some members of the order are afraid thatthe present difficulty can only result in a spit. There seems to be little doubt that the legal requirements for a call fora special session of the General As- sembly will be fulfilled within 190 short time, or that the call um be signed by District Assemblies in at least half a dozen States, perhaps twice thatmany. Amongthe dissatisfied element, however, the feeling is that no matter if the call is made out according to the constitu- tion, there is no certainty that thesession will be held. One of them said yesterday: One of the principal things nst which we pro- testis the assumption of dictatorship by the General Executive Board and their evident intention to over-ride the constitution, when- ever it conflicts with their oon ideas. IT — highest action. certainly remedy would be to call a special session our- selves, and then all who attended it would be in open revolt and would be either ex- pelled or suspended. This would mean a split and whether or not we are prepared for this, lam not able to say, but it may come to that. Ishould be exceedingly sorry to see it, butifthe order is to continue to of any use to the labor movement, something must be done pretty soon. KICKING OVER THE TRACES, The same opinion was expressed.-by many other 8 Even some of the members of District No. 49, the leaders of which are in thorough accord with the generai officers, show signs of a disposition to kick over the traces, and only the iron discipline maintained by T. B. Maguire, the former Master Work- man, who is now on the General Executive Board, ‘keeps the _ dissatisfactién from — shown. The local fight between the Knights and the open unions grows in bitterness, and the time is not far off when open warfare will be proclaimed. The action of the trades*-unions in Columbus in the forma- tion of the American Federation of -Labor has encouraged the trades-’unions. It is said on good authority that J. H. Cassidy. ome of the most prominent members of the American Society of Carpenters and Joiners, announced ublicly to the Central Labor Union last Sun- — that he intended to declare war to the knife against the Knights of Labor.’’ The Knights show no disposition to shirk the fight, and if they and the unions do not find some common ground on which they can stand, the chances are that no strikes will be won by the carpenters for some time, for the Knights will take the places of the strikin trades’-unionists and unionists the places o the Knights when they strike. A Big Split. PHILADELPHIA, December 27.—Unless word is received from the General Executive Board of the Knights of Labor to-day granting the demands of the assemblies of machine con- structors fora local trades charter, nearly four thousand Knights in this city and thousands in other parts of the country will withdraw from the order. Twenty-one assemblies throughout the country notified the General Executive Board that unless the trades charter is granted they will leave the order, and most of those in this city have given notice that unless the demand is acceded to to-dag they will with@raw. The machinists claim as a right, under the consti- tution of the order, that they shall be allowed to direct the business: pertain- ing to thelz own interests. Three members of the General Committee are in favor of grant- ing these demands, but Mr. Powderly, witha majority of the board, is opposed to the scheme, and it is not likely that any word will be received by the dissatisfied assemblies to- day. Some of the machinists’ assemblies have decided to wait antil the first of the new ear,and if the national charter is not granted 7 time they will follow the lead ot the Philadelphia assemblies and over 50,000 — Will sever their relations with the order. Central Labor Union. CHICAGO, December 27.—The Central Labor Union yesterday instructed its delegates to the January convention of the United Labor party to resist all efforts toward a compro- mise with either of the old parties, and in case such a compromise was decided upon by the convention, to withdraw from it. A resolution from the furniture-work- ers, demanding of the State that the coal mines be made common property, was indorsed by the union, and it was directed that the resolution and its in- dorsement be laid before the legislative rep- resentatives of the United Labor party. The proceedings of the late Trades’ Union Oonven- tion at Columbus were discussed, the drift of sentiment being that of unqualified disap~ proval. The convention was characterized as a mutual aid society of the leaders to perpet- uate their own influence among the laboring —— and notin the real interests of those asses.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., December 27.—Early this morning a numberof strikers on the Geary Street Cable Road gathered at the corner of Geary and Franklin streets, with the determination to stop cars being run, and the first car coming into the city was Attacked by them and conductor and gripman driven from the car, which went flying dovn street.

GREAT BARGAIN HOUSE FO The Ballet Again Dances for the Preachers Lively Attempt te Denounce Opera- The Ticklish Question Gracefully Settled —Drs. Boyd and Felton Severely Criticised —Spirit of the German Press—An Attack on the Jail Mass—Some Sharp Discussion. The ballet danced before the Evangelical Alliance again this morning, and two hours were consumed before the delicate subject was driven off the stage of controversy. The discussion was the liveliest that argumenta- tive body has had for manya day. It was all caused really by an attempt on the part of some of the ultras to get the alliance to denounce opera perse. Against this radical action other members protested, and from 11 till 1 o’clock the debate raged. It was sprung upon the Alliance by the effort of Rev. Dr. Vander Li of the st German Presbyterian Church to square himself with the German population. DR. BRN presided again and a good number of pastors were in attendance. d a funeral the mittee on Rev.

The order of the day was Dr. Brookes’ paper on the Sunday question, but before it could be reached Dr. Vander Lippe arose, and to the surprise of nearly everybody presented the following preamble and resolutions: THE BALLET AGAIN. Whereas, The action of the Evangelical Al- liance of the City of St. Louis at their last meeting, held November 29, disapproving the ballet, seems to have been misunderstood approval of the in that so as to imply an . and in some of the Ger- ballet of the opera sense has been published man daily papers; and Whereas, This misapprehension tends to the disparagement of the character of the Christian ministry of this city and Christianity itself; therefore Resolved 1. That it be the sense of this meeting that we heartily aisapprove of all theatrical plays and performances whatsoever as worldly and carnal divertisements, unbe- met ag the Christian character and conver- sation. 2. That whilst we greatly favor the culture of the art of musicand do not object to any N musical exhibition, as concerts and the ike, we disapprove of the opera because the artof music is invariably more or less com- bined in it with carnal and wordly displays. That we warn the members of our various churches not to frequent the opera in any place or any other theatrical display apt to make people worldly, carnal, sens- ual and criminal. An we remind our brethren and sisters in Onrist ofthe word of the Lord (Titus 2, 12) teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously aud mrt in this present world. 4. That these resolutions be published in the religious papers of tne various denominations. SECONDED BY BISHOP BOWMAN. . These were seconded by Bishop Bowman of the Methodist Church and then Dr. Vander- lippe explained that the Anzeiger last month had placed the Alliance in a wrong light before the German people by quoting several members of that — as indors- ing opera. The Anzelger Was the only German aper that didn’t blaspheme, and so all Christian German peo- ple were much moved by its statement... The speaker said that in the German mind there is no line between the theater. It is of way (laughter), The vile displays on. our stage are unknown to the Germans. He re- lated an incident of his son, who is a bank clerk, who had refused to go to the theatre because he (the = elieved that when clerks are in the habit of going to operas they become embezziers. The state- ments in the German paper mentioned were quotations from the Post-DISPATCH reports of Drs. Boya’s and Feiton’s remarks at the last meeting, whenin explaining the anti- ballet resolution they had said that it wasa condemnation of opera itself. REV. DR. C. B. FELTON of Union Methodist Church, declared the cor- réectness of the reported interviews, and that the resolution of last month was simply a pro- test against the demoralizing addenda ofthe opera. He said the passage ofthe reso- lutions just introduced would weaken the effect of the resolution of last month and the public would call it simple fanaticism. The theater and opera are d- ically different to those who know them both. He had said he would attend the opera if the unobjectionable features were removed, and he would repeat it right there. REV. DR. HAMMOND of the First Southern Methodist Church put operain the same class with cards, billiards and other worldly amusements. derlippe said the otution was all talk of several members h pla in a wrong light. The fact that the Alliance condemned one feature of the opera and not the others, gave a silent consent to the opera. Here Rev. orge P. Wiison, Presb 8 wagged his head violently in assent. . Hill, who helped draft the Novem- ber resolution, spoke for the committee who, he said, had mo idea of grading operas. He was against opera, preached net it, but yet he was against the last res- olutions, which would spoil the effect of the first, which had deen salutary all over the Dr. Felton moved to y the resolutions on the table. Bishop Bowman was called on and classed the theater and o er. He thought the November resolution was all right, and he did not see how it coutd have been perverse: He would go toan opera-house now though, but only to preach to the sinners. He’d like to go some night when it was full to all the sinners there. gianenser. REV. * M. 5 : Methodist, was against the new resolutions because there is such a thing eng so straight as to fall backwards. Dr. J. W. Lewis, Methodist, took the same ground.

LEUCODERMA. U- rashington He The Skin Disease Which Affected t) Spotted Colored Woman. 7 PHILADELPHIA, December 27.—Dr. J. Shoemaker of this city laughed heartily ye: terday when shown a newspaper article givi the alleged wonderful case of a negro man ? and woman who had turned from black to Y white and whose transformation could not be explained. It is not an uncommon skin dis- ease, he said, and is known as leucoderma. In white people the skin turns milky white but it is more notable in colored persons, of course, owing to the contrast with the dark skin. The change of color is caused by the destruction or rather absorption of pigme : which is not formed again and is not painful. 1 The disease can only be cured when it is at- | tended to at the very start. It is not fatal and et the only bad effect is the deformity or piebaid 12 color it causes.

HE TEMPLE THEATER IN PHILADELPHIA DESTROYED BY FIRE. ro Firemen Killed by the Collapse of the Roof Rescue of Two Women from the Burning Building—The Washington Hotel, Adjeining the Theater, Threatened —/ Guests and Property Being Removed— Loss $400 ,000—Fires Elsewhere. PHILADELPHIA, December 27. — Fire proke out in the basement of the new Temple Theater about 11 o’clock this morning, and in a short time the entire building was filled with smoke. Two scrub women, who were in the upper part of the building, were rescued by firemen with ladders from a fifth story window. The fire started in the Muse connected with the theater, and the flames were — gone to have been gotten under control and confined to that section of the building, but shortly be- fore 12 o’clock the flames burst from the upper windows and roof and it is now thought the entire structure will be ruined. The theater is owned by William M. Singerly, proprietor of the Philadel- phia Record. The Washington Hotel adjoins the the- ater on the east, and much valuable 2 erty is located in the immediate neighbor - hood of the building. At 12:80 o' elock it was believed that the flames could be con- fined to the theater, but the fireis burning fiercely in the center of the large building out of the reach of the firemen and may aw se et beyond their control. The eater, with its improvements, bas cost Mr. Singerly $400,000, and was regarded as the handsomest theater building in the country. Mr. Singerly remarked, while the fire was burning, that he had en- savored to make it the finest in the coun- „ and he believed he had succeeded in ping so. The insurance on the property mounts to $127,000. TRR LITTLE TYCOON’’ ted at the Temple all of last dason, and the greater part of the present pason.

Johnson gives an example of its use from ‘*Hake- with on Providence,“ a book which was panienea in 1627. It is a good word, aving no equivalent in the language, and those who have preserved it have done wisely.

It is rarely thata circus and a United States Senator run up against each 5 — but such a thing occurred down in North Carolina a day or so before election. It happened that one of the small road cir- cuses of the South struck Wilkes borough Wilkes County, N. C., one day., and found, tothe horror of the manager, that the town had been billed for a nd Demo- oratic Tage ownage y w Senator Zebulon B. Vance as the great attraction. The circus had had a hard summer, and the proprietor thought when it reached its native heath, in North Carolina, it would strike it rich. But the proprietor was nearly panic-stricken when he saw the tiaring Democratic posters and heard the people talking about the great anti-civil- service Senator, who h more relatives in positions under the United States Gov- ernment than. allthe other Senators put together. After thinking over the matter for a long time, the proprietor concluded to go see Senator Vance, and see if a com- bination of the two shows could not be made. So he called onthe Senator, and found him—as everybody else has—good- natured, jolly and pleasant. The pro- prietor mentioned his fears to the Sen- — and said that he feared the opposi- on.

The proprietor of the circus concluded to cut the price of admission down to 25 cents, so every one could come. Just before the show began, and a great crowd had collected about the door, Sen- ator Vance made his way toward the entrance, but before he got there he was somewhat startled to see the clown mounted on a chair outside the door and hear him exclaim: City Night Express CHICAGO, BURLINGTON A QUINCY RAILROAD.

Lrrrrx Rock, Ark., December 27.—This morning Thomas McElyea and August Stevens quarrelledat a stave camp, seven miles south of this point. Both were shot, it is believed, fatally. A Wedding in the Mountains of West Vir- ginia. From a Winfield (W. Va.) Letter. After a silence of a few minutes, in which the old fellow had stared at me to his content and sized me up from head to foot, he suddenly bursted out: Stranger, is you married!“ Being answered in the negative his roomy and capacious mouth broadened into a grin and said: ‘‘Wall, while you is out in this country you hunt up a gal an git and then turning to a great buxom lass who would tip the scales at 175 and only 16 years old—his hired ri—he continued: Now, that is Ann. he wants to git married the wuss kind, and if y’all can make it up, I guess I can eee ’round and git some flour, killa chicken, churn and give you a weddin’,”’ and your correspondent thought that if he was looking for physical strength and de- velopment he couldn’t do better.

Pretty soon all the family followed my example.

House after house we stopped at and it was always the same—nothing of the comforts of life. The Lonely Traveler. From the San Francisco Wasp. The reader of this little anecdote will bear in mind that Oakland is a suburban city just across the bay from San Fran- cisco. A kind-hearted citizen was watch- ing. the crowd of East-bound overland engers as they swore over the assess- ments for extra bag eand rushed about shaking hands w and kissing the friends assembled to see them off at the ferry the other day. Finally his atten- tion was a to a man who stood apart also watching the scenes, but with an ex on of deep sadness and grief face. ‘‘Anything the mat- said the citizen, sympatheti- cally; are you in trouble“ The forlorn-looking man sighed and shifted a well-worn carpet- to his other hand. have lived in th city among these ee years, ’ he said in a tering voice; but now that I am going there to see me off; no- St body to shake my hand and wish me a pleasant journey,’’ and he brushed awa a tear. ‘Oh!

He got acquainted witha New York politician, sinking lower and lower in crime and degradation, until he be- came a boodle alderman. Yes, wretch, this is your work. Your pale-faced con- vict is Alderman Jaehne. Look at the victim of your liberality and tremble.” I'll never give anybody another cent on Christmas,” said Byers, trembling and casting his eyes on the ground. “Do you repent?’’ asked the Fantom, looking around sternly at the wretched man on his back. Ido. How many bootblacks and beg- gars have I lured to ruin by my cursed liberality ?”’ The Ghost smiled thoughtfully, and they passed out through the walls of the State rison. The scene changed. The Ghost umped a fence, and was in the yard of a modest cottage over in New Jersey. It was night, but from his position on the back of the Fantom Ass Byers could see into the lighted room. By thunder! This is the house of my nephew, Jim Mason, whom I set up in his business, and who is making money hand over fist. Ialways send him a check for $500 Christmas, but I 5 it yesterday. Here at least my liberality has not been misplaced,” said Byers. The Fantom Ass, turning his head smiled sardonically and remarked: “J ust listen to what they say about you.” Byers listened. He could hear every word. „J wonder,’’ said Mason to his wife, if that bald-headed old fraud, my uncle, is going back on me this Christmas? He usually sends me a check before Christ- mas, but I’ve not got it yet.” eld rather do without the check than have him eat his Christmas dinner here, as he did last Christmas. It makes me tired to see him slobbering over the chil- dren and guzzling wine,” said Mrs. Ma- son, spitefully. Are you listening, Judge asked the Fantom Ass, 2 ly. Judge Byers was indeed an indignant e heard his favorite nephew Byers??? listener. say: N. ve got no more use for the old fool than you have; but he is rich, and as he is going to leave us most of his money in his will I’m not foing to insult him.“ Fes, but he’ll never die.

He’ll — off suddenly some day,” said her husband. dope he’ll never see another Christ- mas, said Mrs. Mason feelingly. The Fantom Ass laughed so — poor Byers could scarcely seat. „Spirit,“ said e this is a fearful rousl eep h lace. In leaving it, I shall not leave its esson, trust me. tus go. I promise never again to make such a——’”’ Byers was going to say ‘‘consummate ass of myself,“ but he restrained himself out of consideration for his companion and said foob instead. Once more the scene shifted. Byers was back in his own room. The Fantom was seated in the arm chair, with his hind legs crossed, Gradually a change came over the Fantom Ass; his ears seemed to dwindle away, andon Byers waking up and rubbing his eyes, he perceived he was looking at one of the an ns. Tes. he wasin his own room. It was „Heaven be praised that my eyes have been pon to my misdi- rected charity. I don’t know what to do, he continued, but one of the first things I'll do is to tear up my will and cut off my favorite nephew without a shilling.” He was soon dressed and out in the street. It was crowded with jolt ple, wishing each other ‘‘Merry 7 and oa undles.

Freshet,“ truly describe by Arch- bishop Trench as an exquisite word, is one of them. It is used by Milton: All fish from sea or shore, Freshet or purling brook. Another is ‘‘bluff,’’ 3 however, used as an adjective (e. g., a luff penin- sular prominence’), whereas the Amer- icans, followed by our own Tennyson, round the hills from bluff to bluff’’— employ it as a substantive; others are ‘‘snag,” a word which we meet with in Spenser and Dryden; ‘‘rile,’’ the same as ‘‘roil,” an old verb signifying to disturb, to vex, and found in Chaucer. The use of the formal Sir“ when ad- dressing a stranger or person with whom one has only a slight acquaintance is an- other instance of the retention by the Americans of pee modes of speech. Good illustrations of this particular custom as it existed at the time thatthe New World was being colonized are found in the ‘‘Compleat Angler,“ whose author died inthe year in which Philadelphia was founded by Penn. Such séntences as the following are constantly occurring: ‘‘Sir, I shall by your favor bear you company as far as Theobald’s;’’ Sir, my fortune has answered by desires;F“ I am, sir, a brother of the angle,“ and so on. It is evident, then, that many so-called Americanisms, so far from beingarbitrary novelties, have the clearest right to be re- garded as English undefiled. ’’ Newspaper Work in London. London Cor. Springfield Republican. The experiment of establishing a news- paper man’s weekly here in London is Feil wavering between failure and the hope of success. It is perhaps too early to venture a prediction as to its fate. The numbers thus far printed seem to have enerally pleased those who read them; but how many have read and bought them? In fact there is a _ radical difference between journalism here and inthe United States, which sharply militates against a professional paper. In America, young men who hope some day to be editors, and who have both the edu- cation and the talent to justify that hope begin as reporters or at the lowest roun of desk work. There is extremely little class feeling, or hauteur of place, in the ranks. The men on a paper know one another, and defer to one another’s sense of equality and dignity. There is between em all the bond of knowledge that good work is appre- viated, no matter who does it. There is no limit set hard and fast to the possibili- ties of preferment by deserts. h sol- dier carries a marshal’s baton in his knap- sack. He knows—everybody knows—that he will get it if he earns it. Precisely in proportion as he strives to earn it, he is * 1 ere in England— more S in London—there is no such democratic equality. There is a caste of editors and a caste of reporters—and a man pushes his way from one into the other tar less fre- uently than a commoner fete elevated to the peerage. Between e two castes there is practically no association. Since I have been in Europe, I have spoken with two kings and two or three heirs,to thrones, be it said, with proper awe, but I have never met the editor of a London morning paper. It is far easier to get invited to Marlborough House to lunch than to secure audience with one of these dread 3 Proprie- tors of papers are not hard to know; leader writers are quite easy, but the editor iss grane lama—an invisible re ames e ese — — 17 —ͤ—ͤ—e. the workers * 8 D reporters he is a a an English or American duced the price one-half, soall can see and hear the great anti-civil-service-re- form Senator Zebulon B.

Theclown still continued his harangue, and was the means of filling the tent. After the regular show thelion’s cuge was drawn out into the ring. A step-ladder was placed beside it,and three chairs were placed on top. Then Senator Vance mounted this rostrum and delivered his speech. It was a great success. The peo- ple were delighted. When the Senator be- came prosy the lions in the cage below grew somewhat restive, and claimed the attention of the audiencc—at least of the spot werethe Senator spoke. It is but just to add that the Eighth District, in which Wilkesborough is situated, went Democratic, and itis all said to be owiug to Senator Vance and the circus. Thomas McKeon, an old railroad man here, about 50 years of age, while sittiug in his room at the Carondelet Hotel this morning was taken seriously ill. He was sent to the City Hospital in a precarious condition. Absolutely Pure. — po Catarrhal Dangers.

Strange Story of a Member of a Well-Known and Wealthy Boston Family—After « Long Career of Dissipation He Secures $315,000 Insurance on His Life and Sui- cides the Beneficiaries May Secure the Money—The Insurance Companies to Resist Payment. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsraTCH. New Tonk, December 27.—Under the false name of A. Allen there died in the Cole Hotel, In South Norwalk, Conn.,& man who had taken out insurance policies to the amount, so gar as known, of $315,000. He died from an overdose of morphine. The policies had been written within fourteen months of the man’s death. They are divided between forty-nine companies, so far as known, but further in- vestigation may show thatthe amount of in- surance and the number of companies is to be largely increased. Of the $315,000 insurance n his life only $71,600 was forthe benefit f his relatives. The remainder is in ie names of apparently only casual friends and business acquaintances. The story of the man’s later life is dramatic to a degree rarely found even in fiction. To one, at least, of the beneficiaries of his in- surance policies his intention to commit sul- cide was known several months prior to his death. He was of an excellentand wealthy Boston family, and apparently the favorite though dissipated son of an induigent mother. He had lived a life of adventure in many countries, and had spent a fortune in riotous living or in reckless specuiation. When found dead in the hotel room he had butafew dol- lars in his pocket, but with hundreds of thousands dependent upon his death. There was a cynical detail about the preparations before his death, whether with suicidal intent or otherwise, that was not in keeping ith his usual good-tempered and easy-going position. He has a youngand pretty wife dawidowed sister living in this city and a ther and three brothers in Boston. They fess to know little or nothing of the other neficiaries. He was very well known in n circles here. Among the beneficiaries his insurance outside of his family is a hier of one of the leading New York banks, member of the Petroleum Exchange, the Wife of a business acquaintance, a young gir! of Mount Vernon, a lawyer in Liberty street, a hotel keeper in Boston, and a young man in New Rochelle. Of the insurance companies involved there are but comparatively few of the old line stock companies. The larger amount of the insurance was written in various co-operative associations. The ques- tion ¢f the payment of the policies, therefore, interests directly a very great number of per- eons, as in these associations payment of policies is made by a direct assessment upon members. e THE COMPANIES TO RESIST PAYMENT. Ax official of one of the companies said to he POST-DISPATOH correspondent yesterday: Rot a cent of that money will ever be paid.’’ It is not known that there has been any con- certed action looking towards resistance as yet, but one of the companies, at least, has in- jetituted a rigid investigation, the alleged facts in which are given in this article. The evi- dene collected makes a pile of documents a foot thick. Alleged conspiractes against in- surance companies have always aroused in- terest, the matter being one that comes home 9 every policyholder. The case of Oapt. Polvocerres, years ago, was at that time with- uta precedent, and at once arrested public ention to what was by many thought to e the most daring attem t at fraud éver recorded. The Dwight conspiracy case tried as itwasin the courts, both high an low, employing as it did the most learned medical an legal experts la the country, has filled thousands of columns in the newspapers, and is not yet definitely settied. ‘ A 8PENDTHRIIFT 8 MISERY. But if, as seems certain, the payment of the policies Inthe case of John ler, alias A. Allen, alias John Taylor, is contested in the courts on the ground of conspiracy and fraud the litigation will, from the dramatic features of the man's life and death, be one of the most interesting ever brought before the courts of this or any other country. The company be- fore alluded to, according to the statement of the superintendent of agencies and the counsel of the company, proposes to develop a story almost unpar- ralleled in history—a nny! of a desparing spendthrift’s misery ; of his illegitimate plans to raise money; of his peculiar business rela- tions with several persons not members of his family; of bis taking out policies in his name and making them the beneficiaries thereof; of his repeated intentions, well-known, as is al- legea to end his life with his own hand, for his friends“ pecuniary benefit; of his study of the uses of poison under the alleged teaching of one of his beneficiaries; of his acceptance from him ot a deadly formula.

Between that time and December, 1888, the insurance men say, Tyler inaugurated bis sys- tem of taking out policies. He joined various paver organizations and carried out his sys- m successfully with them. He even had his name enrolled on the roster of the New York Commercial Travellers’ Company at Syracuse and this in the face of the fact that he had never been a ‘‘drummer’’ in hislife. He even went as far west as St. Paul. AN AFFIDAVIT. That Tyler was sincere in his determination to commit suicide is set forth in an affidavit in the session of the insurance om The deponent swore that in Octo- ber, 1884, Tyler and J. J. Lutkins of this city and himseif met atthe Stevens House. Lut- kins is now a member of the Petroleum Ex- change, and was formerly a druggist on an extensive business at the corner o Broadway and Thirty-second street, where he was well krown as an expert chemist and compounder. Atthe Stevens House meeting Tyler asked Lutkins to tell him some poison which would make death come easily and painiessiy. Lutkins explained the effects of morphine and opium. he deponent remem- bered one of these poisons. It was Magen- die’s solution o morphia,’’ the form- ula being 12x8— 4. Tyler made a memorandum of the information. On November 10, 1886, ler left this city, saying to his wife before his departure that he was going to Philadelphia. The register of the hotel at South Norwalk shows that he arrived on Wednesday, November 10, and registered as A. Allen, Boston. That afternoon he gat in the office, where J. L. Wals, one of the proprietors, noticed that he was sleeping and woke him up, remarking jokingly, ‘‘change „Wals noticed that he ey to under the influence of drugs. ext day Tyler left the hotel, but returned and registered again. On Friday morning at 9 o’clock he was found deadin his room. The body was still seated on a chair, leaning heavily against the table, on which were found papers and liet- ters.

Another card was addressed Dear sister.

Under the law of Connecticut the Coroner only calls a jury when he is in doubt of the cause of death. Inthis case it was supposed to be so clearly asuicide that the Coroner de- livered a certificate to that effect. The body and effects were delivered to the brother of the deceased, and also the letters and writ- ings. It was learned that in some of his writ- ings the deceased stated that he had left the hotel a number of times to procure morphine, but returned quickly for fear he would be taken sick on the street. When the Post-DISPATCH correspondent re- ceived information to the effect that many of the local insurance companies were investigating the death of Tyier, and were being rewarded with unex- pected results, he made inquiries into the matter and was met at every turn with ob- stacles, Details of the evidence they found they said they could not give, assuring your correspondent that at the proper time they would throw open the light of day upon what they called the ‘‘ugliest and ablest bodied con- spiracy in the annals of the century.’’ They said they expected that the beneficiaries would sooner or later make their appearance and ask for the claims. The unusuallyjlarge amount in- volved necessitated their using the greatest caution and maintaining absolute secrecy. TYLER’S MOTHER. Mrs. John Tyler, the mother, resides at No. 853 Béacon street, Boston. The PoOsTt-VISPATCH reporter in Boston called upon her there on Christmas morning. Mrs. yler said that about a week prior to his death her son had paid her a visit in Boston. He was then suf. fering very greatly from neuralgia. The cold weather always affected him badly, and on that occasion he was in more pain than usual. It was suggested to him that he take a little whisky to dull the pain, but he refused with a gesture of disgust. A couple of days after he went away she received a letter from him say- ing that he thought he should have died on the train going home the pain was so intense. A NEW YORK CASHIER AS BENEFICIARY. Mr. H. J. Hubbard who is cashier of the Columbia Bank, No. 501 Fifth avenue this city, is said to bea beneficiary to the amount of $45,000 for five 71 Mr. Hubbard, on bein acquainted with the investigations inaugurate by the insurance companies into the death of Mr. Tyler, was much surprised. The subject of the alleged attempt to defraud the com- panies met with equal surprise. ‘I know noth- ing of — 1 such conspiracy as that you refer to, said Mr, Hubbard. My relations with John Tyler were ofa pore business natnre. I met him in 1879 during the boomin mining stocks. At that time I Was on the Stock Ex- change and engaged in the brokerage busi- ness. Tyler speculated to quite an extent and I did a good deal of his business. He was a very rapid speculator. When he was embar- rassed I frequently loan him money. He was connected with various enterprises but I don’t think they ever paid. Did you ever hear TVler talk of committing suicide?’’ Never, why should he when he had every- thin to live r.

Opening Performances of the Week's At- tractions—The ‘‘Measiah.’’ The spread offered at the theaters last night was excessively light. There were no solids to be found anywhere. Two comedies, a variety show and a sensational melodrama completed the outfit. Roland Reed in Mars- den’s *‘Humbug’’ had a good opening house at the Olympic, and the young comedian with the cccentrionose and nasal tw suc- ceeded in keeping his audience laughing in the farcical situations of the play. There is little to be sald about the piece outside of what has been said. It has more plot than the majority of farces and furnishes with an excellent opportunity to display his best talents. The audience seemed immensely pleased, and his ‘“*‘With the Accent On, ‘‘I Wonder His Face Looked Like,’’ made hits, while the Mikado“ yt ew went like a flash. The support was fairly good all through. 23 * Mugge s Landing is not a good comedy ay any means. It is farcical and nonsensical wit characters which are crude and overdrawn, but it is one of those indescribable jumbies into which anything that will make fun may be thrown and it man to keep the audiences laughing. It drew outa big house at the Peo- ple’s and kept it entertained. Frances Bisho as Little Muggs was full of tricks, musical an dance novelties and furnished lots of fun, in which Alfred MeDowell as Asa Beck gave ma- terial assistance. Miss Bishop's songs and her song and dance with Alfred MoDowell with the burlesque on tragedy in the third act were enthusiastically received. Gus Hill’s Novelty Company presented a varied programme at Pope’s. In the com- pany were the Vidocgs, John and Edna, in sketches; Dollie Foster in new songs, Sneri- dan and Flynn in Irish songs and dances, El Nino Eddie in a skillful bounding rope-act, Mile. Anna, the woman with the iron jaw; Mlle. Barretta, the contortionist; Gus Hill in his club swinging and juggling act, the Barretta sisters on the trapeze and others. 2 * The Stranglers of Paris“ drew out a large audience to the Standard, and with its sensa- tional plot and thrilling tableaux furnished enough excitement to satisfy the gallery. Frank A. Tannebill took the part of Jagon, and he was supported by Miss Inez Rochelle as Mathilde and a full company. Rose Coghlan, who was announced to open her engagement at the Grand, did not appear, and a good number of people were sent away from the theater disappointed. It was impos- sible to make the fact of her non-appearance known in time to save the trouble of going to the theater, as the company failed to reach the city through the mistake of a train dispatcher on the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad. The company had a special train engaged to take them from Memphis to Hoxie on the Iron Mountain where they expected to connect with the train to St. Louis, The dis- patcher stopped the special at Nettleton, some miles short of Hoxie which made it impossi- ble to reach this city lastnight. The company arrived this morning, however, and iss Coghlan will certainly appear at the Grand to- night in School for Scandal, the repertoire for the remainder of the week standing as ad- vertised, The performance of the "‘Messiah’’ by the Cho Society will take place to-morrow evens at Exposition Music Hall. The chorus for this occasion is — pd than ae | ever brought together by a single society and num- bers about 800 members. As most of these have already sung in several performances of the same work, the rehearsal practice has been most satisfactory and promises a rendi- tion of the great choruses with fine recision of attack and 1 of shading The soprano ‘part is to be taken by Miss Margaret Etliott of Philadelphia, who bas sung in cantata and oratorio with great suc- cess in the East, and possesses a voice of re- markable volume and purity of tone, and of reat flexibility. Mr. F. Jameson, who fills the tenor part, is one of the leading ora- torio singers of the country, and has sung in the ‘‘Messiah’’ many times in New York and neighboring cities. he alto part has been given to Miss Adele Laeis, whose sympathetic voice has made her such a tavorite among music lovers, and the bass solos will be sung by Mr. Geo. A. Wiseman, who has already rendered them on several previous occusions. Amusement Notes.

A Very Good Statement Made by the Saddlery and Harness Trade and a Big Outlook for Next Year—Iron and Steel—The Live Stock Market and Its Prospects, The following reviews contain interesting statements of the business done in St. Louis during the year 1886, in saddiery and harness and in fron and steel, together with a short resume of the live stock trade for that period. Harness and Saddlery, In the manufacture of saddlery and harness St. Louis not only leads any other city in the country, but the capital invested here, as well as the amount of products, will equal that of any other two cities. As a prelude to the review of this most important industry the following figures, compiled by the Transportation Com- mittee of the Merchants’ Exchange, will be in- teresting: The number of harness and sad- dlery manufactories in St. Louis is 92; capital invested, $1,370,360, and the ae — The number of manu incinnati is 51, capital $413,000 and products 1,155,000. In Ohicago the number of estab- ishments is 82; capital invested $219,250 and products $746,247. In Louisville there are 35 establishments ; $396,000 invested and the prod - ucts are $882,000. From these figures, which are thoroughly reliable, it willbe seen that the amount of capital invested in St. Louis is than is invested in the other cities combined and the greater than in any nearly as great as in St. Louis has but ten more manvfactories than Chicago, but, as the amount of capital in- vested and the products show, the establish- ments in Chi o are very small compared with those in this city. Cincinnati has less manufactories than Ohicago, but even that city is considerably ahead of Chicago in the capital invested andthe amount of products; and still St. Louis is so far ahead of Cincinnati that the latter can hardly be classed as a rival in this line. The principal reason why St. Louis has become the greatest saddlery and harness manufacturing city in the country is that it is the best located for distribution to the West and South, from which sections of the country there is the greatest demand for this line of goods, The discrimination in rates has not affected the trade here to any great extent, for the reason that there is no formid- able competition. During the past year the dealers say that their business has shown a decided increase, and the prospects for the coming year are most flattering. The establishment of jobbing houses in small cities in the West and South, Which have grown wondertully in population during the past few years, has not hurt the St. Louis trade scarcely at all, for the reason that all the saddle-trees and fine harness still have to be procured in this city. Formerly St. Louis sent East for bits, buckles, spurs and other saddlery hardware, but for the past four or five years all bardware necessary for saddiery has been manufactured in this city, and nearly the entire West and Southwest are now supplied from here. An- other promising tributary of trade for St. Louis is Mexico. For the past “pa of years several prominent firms here have been almost supplying the Mexican capital in this line, and are very hopeful of capturing the entire trade of that country in a few years. One of the most noticeable facts in is, that during the past ear saddle trade has been alling off and the harness trade increasing in roportion. The reason given for this change sthatso many cheap buggies are now being made that horseback riding is losing its former popularity. The number of traveling salesmen employed by the St. Louis houses is about 175 and the rospect for an increased trade next year Ss 80 promising that nearly all the large houses wl very probably increase the num- ber of their drummers, a Iron and Steel. There is every evidence that confidence has been re-established in the iron trade. Con- summers have come to feel that they will not be able to enjoy the low prices, and they are waking up toarealization of the fact that things have been too cheap in the past. Man- ufactured, or bar, iron has shown an increase of $6 per ton over last year. This increase be- gan in — hang and has kepton steadily. It was caused by the increased activity in railroad building and the demand for roiling-stock, which has been as good the past year as it has been since 1879. The laying of new tracks and | the repairing of old have been very marked. This naturally made steel the first to feel the impulse of the renewed activity, but soon it resuited in a general demand for cars, bridges, track supplies, and all work of that kind kate which iron enters. The outiook for next year is very good and manufacturers are much encouraged by the fact that the increased demand the past year has come from all pants of the country. Con- sumeérs’ settlements are very satisfactory— better than ever before. These aspects of an improved trade do not warrant the manufacturers in predicting a boom; on the contrary, they affirm that all they look foris asteady, active demand, at moderate prices. The most has come in the gain of 1886, and in 1887 if there be any advance it will be but slight. The revival of the kind indicated they expect will set in as early as February. more three STEEL. An active demand for all kinds of steel has been felt the past six months. It has been due to the railroad building and repairing which have been well kept up in thattime. The Vulcan Steel- works began meaking:rails in May and since then have been kept busy. Early in the year they were engaged in turning out soft steel. This latter product das ued to feel in the the booming effect change which set in two or three years ago and which is replacing bar iron with soft steel. The in- creased call forthe steel was observed in many quarters where heretofore, bar fron has bad full sway, andthe indications point to steel enjoying a similar success the coming year. The general prospects for steel in 1887 are favorable for a good inquiry. Most of the mills have sold up and are hopefully waiting for a better year in 87. They expect an increase over 886 of about 20 per cent. The prospective increase would be much larger were it not for the sudden stiffening up of steel enjoyed about six months ago. Had the last half of the year been like the first, 1886 would be closing to-day as dreary a failure as was 1885, which the steel men call the dark year. The increase of the last six months ma be judgedfrom the fact that had the first halt been as good the year would have shown an increase of 25 per cent. So, in making pre- dictions of a gain of 20 per cent the comin ear, the dealers refer ta de entire year o 886, and nottothe spurt ard the close. They base this calculation on a general belief thatthe surplus supply or over-production which brought about the depression of 1884 and 1885 is about exhausted, and that the roductive forces of the factories and oundries are to be tested again by a demand for a restocking.

The high rates prevailin here, however, had the effect of riving Eastern orders from the market to a certain extent, and this drawback resulted in a decrease in the shipments of over head. The total shipments year amounted to 479, against 789,487 for 1885, which was the largest figure since 1881. Last year the pack- ing season opened about November 2, with packing and heavy hogs selling upon a basis of $8.40@3.65, and although the market just be- fore the opening of this season had been grad- ually tending lower, sales of common to good packing when the season commenced were at $3.85@4.15, heavy hogs bringing $4,25@4.35. Since then the movement of values has been gradually upward and dealers are predicting 5c by the opening of the New Year. SHEEP. During the past year there were received in this market a total of 885,185 sheep, against 302, 8538 in 1885, a decrease of about 27,700 head. The year, as a whole, has been a less unsatisfactory one to flock masters than that of 1885, the unprofitableness found in wool Growing that year having driv- en many from the business, with the result that receipts have been considerably less but pets afew cents higher the season through han in The dressed beef works have assisted and will con- tinue to assist in keeping up prices and making an active market for good fat stock, their requirements amounting from 500 to 1,000 head a day, and they have imported sheep butchers from the East especially for this purpose. Pittsburg and Philadelphia are also represented here, and there is no reason why St. Louis should not be the great dis- tributing point forsheep from the West and Southwest. HORSES AND MULES. The demand for horses and mules has con- tinued good with a steady demand from the South and East. Unlike all other live stock markets, the receipts, instead of falling off, show an increase of nearly 3,000 head over the previous year. Us whole wheat bread and rolle for dys- pepsia.

Franklin Forbes, who lived at 825 North Fourth street, died at the City Hospital Satur- day night from the effects of poison. The Coroner held an inquest yesterday and the following facts in connection with the case were developed: Friday after- noon a man named Connors and a man named Dennis O’ Leary came to Forbes’ residence.

The three men be- came beastly intoxicated during the evening and O’ Leary remained at the house all night. In the morning O’Lear found that $240 of his money an a diamond pin were missing. He accused Forbes of having robbed him, and Forbes refunded 120, vowing that it was all he had taken. Leary insisted that he had taken more, and notified the police of the matter. An officer arrested Forbes and took him to the restaurant opposite Union Market to be identified by O’Leary. While in the restaurant Forbes be- gan to vomit.

From the Brooklyn Magazine. t th Many of the Christmas sports o 9 mountains are peculiar to this region. The old-fashioned yet cruel 4 of ‘‘gander pullin’” is still practiced to some extent in the wild recesses of the „Great Smokys’’ and along the ‘‘Unaka’ and Bald“ chains. There are two meth- ods of practicing the sport. One is by suspending the fowl securely from an overhanging limb, with its pendant head and neck well greased. The participants ride on horseback at full speed, and as they pass under the limb strive to pull or twist the unfortunate creature’s head off. The other way is to bury the body of the bird in the ground, leaving the exposed head and neck free to be grasped by the passing horseman, who endeavors to pull the body out and bear it off as a prize. A fat steer will often be ‘‘put up,” not to be shot at, but shot for.

From the Pall Mall Gazette Sentence of death has been passed upon nine young men convicted of outraging a servant girl 10 years of age near oore Park, in the suburbs of Sydney, last Sep- tember. This Moore Park outrage was one of those terrible crimes which rouse the conscience of a whole community. The cireumstances under which the crime was committed were revolting to the last de- gree. od dager girl of 16,0f good character, was decoyed into an unfrequented suburb ofSydney and there was violently out- — relays of youths from 16 years old and over.

OUR GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN. An Uncomplimentary Picture of Queen Vio- toria. lt was at the Princess of Wales’ first drawing-room after her marriage that I was presented, and the Queen did not re- ceive; but afterward I hag a capital op- „. her. It was at the launch- ng of the Victoria, at which I was invited to be present y the Duke of Somerset. A brillant company was assembled, awaiting her Majesty. At last there was a commotion, and I supposed the Queen was coming. I looked earnestly for some appearance of bs tg but saw only a stout, elderly lady, whose self and toilet [ thought would have made a good caricature for Punch as “The British Matron Abroad.“ She was very short, both of stature and of breath; and her face was red and cross. Her toilet consisted of a large, gayly-plaided poplin, so short in the skirt as to expose the tops of a pair of heavy walking shoes. A long, loose velvet sack fitted so tightly over the full dress that it gave the wearer’s re a barrel-like appearance; and a dark green hat of uncut velvet, its gs raggled by rain and blown by the wind, was worn on a head that did not suggest — — with a orown; but the finishing blemish was a huge muff of royal ermine suspended round the lady’s fat neck by a cord. which, not be- ing in use, wabbled helplessly back and forth over her well-rounded body. Who is that funny, fussy woman?’’ I asked laughingly of my naval escort, a British officer. 0 heavens, madame,” said he, in alow voice, that is our Gracious Sov- ereign !”’ For a moment I was speechless, but not half convinced, until I noticed that all the gentiemen were standing, hate off and a fine-looking man, whom 1 recognized as Prince Albert, joined the lady in plaid, also standing uncov- ered. The day was cold, bleak and cheer- less; the wind whistled around us, and 2 rain-drops fell. I really felt my rst gleam of admiration for her Britannic Majesty when she ordered the gentlemen resent, including her husband, to put on eir hats.— [Martha J. Coston. The Model Husband. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The — | capacity of the First Chris- tian Church is very large, but it was/fairly well taxed the other night. The occasion was the lecture of the Hon. Will Cumback on the subject of the Model Husband.” In his treatment of this subject Mr. Cum- back took the side of the minority and upheld the husband in a very vigorous style. The lecturer began by say- ing that there was no charac- ter in history—and he wished it understood that he regarded really great fiction asthe profoundest history— whom he regarded more highly than renial Mark Tapley. All husbandsshould mitate him, and by acourseof study, more or less severe, learn to be jolly under the most adverse circumstances. The man who can make things happiest at home—the man who, leaving a world of worry and deceit, heart-sore and weak, can kiss the little faces pinned against the window watching for him, and freshen the spirits of his wife and children, is one of the greatest men who walks the earth, no matter how his standin is at the bank. The model husban is ot this class. He. himself, may need comfort for a heart which is sore. But he must lift his family from the slough of despond into which his model wife—var- lously referred to by the neighbors as a martyr and a model—has industriously plunged them in his absence. He must assure her that to his personal knowledge the baby on the next square did not die of scarlet fever, thatthe pavement will be repaired in frontofthe house next week, that the street-car bells have been or- dered taken off by a vote of the stockholders of the COMERRY that he has final completed usiness arrangements by which he will not be kept from home later than 5 o’clock of afternoons, and generally talk in such a manner as to bring color to the wan cheek of his angel wife and make the children happier. Some men—indeed, the lecturer would admit that most men—would go down town and quietly get drunk. But the model husband was not of this sort at all. He died L but he made his fam- ily happier while he liyed, and beyond a doubt had a front seat in heaven. In life they are ignored; in poetrv and song not one of them has ever a rhyme fit to his name, nor called an angel, nor even toasted at a banquet, but n death they have their rew Boys’ Amusements.

MILLS & AVERILL, 8. K. Cor. Broadway and Pine. to Philadelphia some weeks ago at the request of John Clark, the proprietor of the Olympic in the Quaker City, and there met all comers fighting four round contests with small gloves. His successes have been published from time to time in the Post- DISPATCH. Clow says that of allthe men he met while filling his engagement at Clark’s, Tom Kelly was the only one with whom he found it dim - cult to cope. The rest furnished him more or less easy victories. Speaking of his recent meeting with Jake Kilrain at Baltimore, Clow said that the papers in that city greatly and misrepresented matters. „„ went to Baltimore, remarked he, „nt Kilrain’s request and to spar with him at his own benefit. We sparred four rounds with big gloyes, and there was no question of which was the best in the set-to at all. It was purely what we call a friendly bout, and when we were done we were both in the very same condition as when we went into it. I could tell, though, that Kilrain was a first-class man from his way of s ng. He is clever, skillful, and uses both of his hands well. I ess he is as as any of them outside of Sullivan. At the same time, I be- I could mg the — effect that In rounds of the nine men have deen killed by falling from bicycies the past year, the official organ of the League of American W heelmen s that but four such deaths oc- curred, and of these accidents three were di. rectly traceable to carelessness and two would not have been fatalif there had been proper medical attention. The editor of the Bulletin is being fired at from another quarter, Dr. Blackham, the well- known writer on League 7 — ot Dunkirk, N. T., bringing him to task for an alleged neg: lect of duty. In regard to a sentence in the Doctor’s criticism, the editor of the Bulletin gays: We feel no hesitancy in characterizing this fi as unworthy of a gentleman who ses before the Le e from time to time as its entor.’’ This rebuke is decidedly refreshing, coming, as it does, from the mouthpiece of the League, who does not scruple to call brother members of the League liars. T. J. Kirkpatrick of the Le e’s Executive Board told the Bostonians last week that St, Louis was one of the best cities that could be selected forthe League meet, and compli- mented the Mound City on ite predilection for parades.

He was run over on the track between Co- lumbus and Jackson streets, the 26th of last July. It is alleged that the car was proceed- ing at a very ltapid speed at the time. The Wire Controversy. Judge Lubke to-day rendered a decision in the wire controversy on Third and Locust streets, between the Western Union Telegraph Company and tho Guernsey-Scudder Electric Light Company. The motion to dissolve the injunction was sustained in part and overruled in part. The temporary injunction is dissolved the bill is dismissed as to the lower wires. A decree is en- terea for the Western Union Company and the injunction is modified and made per- petual as to the parallel and upper wires. The costs are awarded, one-fourth against the Western Union Company and three-fourths against the Guernsey-Scudder Company. The Western Union Company was the first one to acquire the right of way for its poles and lines at the point in controversy, Locust street, and was in fall possession and enjoy- ment of that right before the Guernsey-Scud- der Company acquired any permit from the city. The cannot now, says the Court, be per- mitted to drive the Western Union Com- pany away from its acquired path b direct means, or by coming so near to the Western Union wires with heavier charged wires as to make the use of the Western Union wires materially unsatis- factory. They cannot run contiguous tothe Western Union wires nearer than eight feet without subjecting the latter to serious induction, amounting to a trespass upon a prior right o possession which courts of equi will relieye on the sroses that damages resulting are irreparable. t is also shown that the electrie light wires overhanging the telegraph wires are liable to break and fall, causing serious injury and loss. This should be —— against by suit - able means and the Guernsey-Scudder Com- pany should doit asa condition precedent to ts enjoyment ofa part of the right of way which the Western Union Company acquired rst. The Court, however, does not wish it to be understood as a general proposition that all overhanging electric wires should be thus guarded. A Tax-Bill Case. Judge Thayer rendered a decision to-day in the suit of Joseph Weber vs. Hanrictta Schergens etal. The Court orders judgment for the defendants on the ground that the original tax-bill issued in July, 1869, was not void, and the present action on the bill issued in 1884 is barred under the ruling ot the Court of Appeals. The appellate courts have held that errors made in assesements for special taxes of quite as much importance as an error made in the original assessment, do not vitiate special tax bills to such an extent as to preciude any re- covery thereon. i Judge Thayer's Decisions.
