The Chicago Offer Doubtful. Cuica@o, December 28.—The Secretary of the South Park Commissioners said to-day that there would be no meeting of the board to take action on the posed nt of a site in Ohi for the burial of Gen. Logan’s body. o board, after consulting with Melville W. lier, decided to send the following telegram to Washington: Our Attorney, Mr. Fuller, advises us that the Park Commissioners canno under their charter, tender a place o burial, but the Legislature might pass an act authorizin such use of a se- lected portion of the park. This probably can be secured. Thus advised the Com- missioners cannot make a formal tender. They are of the opinion, however, thata monument should be _ erected at the head of Grand Boulevard, Thirty-fifth street, and the name changed to Logan Boulevard. Mrs. Logan would doubtless want assur- ande by deed of dedication that the burial place would be forever reserved. You will see that Fuller’s opinion prevents the Commissioners, under the existing law, from ey | that assurance, however cordial their individual wishes might bo.“ The City Council and Citizens“ Commit tee will bold a joint session this afternoon, when definite action as to a site is ex- pected to be taken.

Mrs. Logan bas expressed a wish that the place shall be one which will never suffer from the encroachments of commerce and popu- lation. She refers to the site of the Douglass monument, which, when selected, was remote from population, but is now surrounded by steam railroads and dwelling houses, as an example of what she wishes to avoid. A suitable spot, she thinks, will be found near the entrance to South Park. oh DEPARTMENT Of THE POTOMAC. Col. Jerome B. Burke’s Order Eulogizing the Late Gen. Logan. WASHINGTON, D.C., December 28.—Col. Jerome B. Burke, commanding the De- partment of the Potomac of the Grand Army of the Republic, yesterday issued an order in which, after reviewing Gen. an’s brilliant war record, he says: “He was among the very earliest in the work of organizing the Grand Army of the Republic, andto him as much as any other man, is due the credit of 33 the proud position which our order holds to-day throughout thecountry. Reposing confidence in him, he was again and again elected as Commander-in-Chief, and atno time have the comrades lost confidence in him—he has been true to us and our inter- ests oes Honest, loyal, brave and patriotio, his memor will never fade from the minds of those who have loved and respected him solong. This department tenders to his loying wife and family its deepest sym- pathy in their sad bereavement, with the assurance that his patriotic deeds and il- lustrious service, both in the field and in the halle of Congress, will be sacredly cherished by his late comrades in arms.”’ The usual emblems of respect were ordered. _ — — IN SORE NEED. A Fund to Be Started for Mrs. Logan’s Benefit—A G. A. R. Appeal. By Telegraph to the Post-DisraTcu. WASHINGTON, D. C., December 28.—Sey- eral friends of Gen. Logan and prominent members of the Grand Army in this city have practically agreed to start a public subscription for the relief of Mrs. Logan. The financial condition of the an family is reported to be extremely low. In addition to the inconvenience of not having any ready money, whatever, their residence at Cal- umet place, purchased last year for 0, is mo ed for $15,000, with the sec- ond annua payment almost due. John A. Logan, Jr., is engaged to be married to the daughter of Chauncy H. Andrews of Youngstown, O., a railroad and iron millionaire.

Louis for the Men Arrested in Chicago— Maneger Weir Satisfied — Fart of the Money Recovered. The toes of a great sensation have been turned heavenward. Jim Oummings, the unique, the genial, jolly Jim isin custody, and his national romance has lapsed to an interesting story of crime. Two months to a day he had been a free, rich man—free in all buta haunting shadow. Now the game is up, and shrewdly as he planned—carefully as he executed, he will hardly be able to escape the shaved poll and 4° Sy 0 7 + 1 F oat „ we, 7 * 7 > 9 n . * — — 2 7 1 he fi * 2 * ’ S * 0 — 4 ‘ ae * * N . in ee > «let * * vs N wey N 1 * e ‘ € > a eg a 7% 4 * 1 £58 15 sas City, where both were running in sengers. There was, however. no intimacy between them. Haight was traced out, en he had left that city and come to Chicago. He was VERY POOR AT THAT TIME and had only money enough to pay his pas- sage. He afterwards sent for his wife, the daughter of a widow named Mast, who lived at Leavenworth. In Uhicago he lived at No. 2438 West Huron with an aunt of his wife. This as difficult to obtain, as his name was not © Directory, and no one knew him. some months old, but by the operative pre- tending that he owed Haight a few dollars and wanted to pay it, the aunt became commiuni- cative and directed the operative to 72 Arbor place, in the West Division, where it was found that Haight and his wife had roomed with one Williams, a foreman for Crane Bros., and a thoroughly respectable man. Williams and his family told the operative that Haight had unexpectedly left October 27 for Florida, and that a day or two later Mrs. Haight had received a CONSIDERABLE SUM OF MONEY from her husband in a letter which said that he had good prospects in Florida and wouid go there at once, and that he had heard Mrs. Mast, Mrs. Haight’s mother, was quite sick in Leavenworth. The letter advised Mrs. Haight to go there at once. This letter was followed a little later bya telegram, which described Mrs. Mast’s condition as dangerous, and urged Mrs. Haight to go at once. Mrs. Haight thereupon packed up and left the same night. What attracted the Wiiliams’ attention was Mrs. Haight’s good spirits under these dis- striped suiting. How many honest men and women to-day are calling him a fool for being caught, telling what they would have done, left the country or hidden so securely no detective would ever ; hthem! And yetJim wasshrewd. He mew a trick or two. Lie low’’ was his motto, and he lay very quietly, very lowly; but was caught. It was the old story of—I knew a secret: my was known tol. Itold my secret: it as known to 1. Not two, but eleven. Jim had too many confederates, and though were faithful enough they told. And Jim—we must stili call him by the old familiar name though it is now known to be a nom de plume—was caught. The Post: DIsPaTCH in its regular and extra editions of yesterday told the story of the ar- rests, but later than the publication of the last edition the brothers Pinkerton were in- duced to tell the entire story of the captures. It was a story of detective work as shrewdly, carefully done as any imaginary thread ollowing from the Drain of Gaboriaua. On the night of October 25 about Il o’glock Train Dispatcher John Burns of the 8t. Louis & San Francisco Railroad received from the operator at St. Clair, a station fifty-two miles from St. Louis, a verbal message left with him by the conductor of passenger train No. 8, go- ing west, which had left 8t. Louis at 825 p. m., to the effect that the express car had been robbed, the messenger bound and gagged, and the robbers had escaped. train dispatcher immediately notified 4 Fifth District Police Station, but nothing be done at this end ot the line, A dis- patch from the condugtor was received later giving scant details, and the messenger, Foth- eringham, telegraphed the Adams Express Oompany, giving no more particulars. At Springfelad he exchanged with an incoming messenger and returned to St. Louis, arriving on the morning of the 26th inst. The Post-DisraTcm of that day pre- sented to its readers the first detaile of the robbery printed, and on the day following printed the first interview obtained by any re- rter with Messenger Fotheringham. He da story then that has not as yet been dis- proven in a single particular. That story has been made familiar to the public by frequent repetitions, but the main facts were a tall, stout man with sandy mus- tache and low forehead had entered the ex- press car before the train left the Union Depot at St. Louls, and presented letters from Route Agent J. B. Barrett and Superintendent W. H. Damsel authorizing Fotheringham to take the man out and induct him into the work of handling express matter in the car. A short distance from the city the man suddenly assaulted and overpowered the messenger. Then he robbed thecar of valuable packages and $81,000 in money. The robber, who had previously in- formed the messenger his name was ‘‘Jim Cummings’’ and that he formerly belonged to the Jesse James gang, left the car at Pacific. On the 27th inst. Western Manager L. O. Weir ofthe Adams Express Company arrived at the Southern Hotel and took rooms that became the headquarters of the search for the robber. Robert Pinkerton came the day following with n number of operatives, and Fotheringham, who had been under guard before, was quar- tered at the hotel with a detective continually athieside. It was thought he was a party to the robbery and would squeal, but he dia not and hag not done so. He was about to be released from the egal restraint put upon by the detectives by corpus proceedings, when indictments were found ag tinst him, Jim Cummings’’ and ‘Richard Roo. It was then believed that there were but two or possibly three persons im- plicated in the robbery beside the messenger. Later developments show that five persons were engaged in the scheme, though only one Was active asthe robber. That was Freder- ick Wittrock, a Chicago coal dealer, and the author of the Jim Cummings letter. The story of how the coal merchant was connected with the robbery was told by 0 10 Tm r AS+ tressing circumstances. It is to be remem- bered that up to this time the Haights bad been very poor, having only the bare necessa- ries of life. Haight was described as an idle, worthiess fellow, who would not stick to any employment. Part of the time he was in Chi- cago, he had driven a ple wagon; again, he bad driven a truck for the Brink Express Company, and at still another time he had driven a wagon for a coal and feed dealer, FRED WITTROCK, at the corner of Lake and Lincoln streets. For a few days, also, he had been similarly employed by Tom Weaver, whose wife kept a laundry at 733 West Lake street. It was learned that Wittrock, also, had come from Leavenworth. It was concluded to be inad- visable to question Wittrock in regard to Haight, for inquiry showed that Wittrock was out of the city, and on further in- quiry we were startied to find that his description exactly answered that furnished by Fotheringham of Jim Cummings. More cautious investigations developed the fact that Wittrock, accompanied by Tom Weaver, had left the city October 13 carrying two valises, a double-barreled shotgun and an army musket. Wittrock had said that they were going to Arkansas to look up some land and do some hunting. Weaver, we ascer- tained, had returned to Chicago, arriving here October 22. Wittrock was still absent. We got hold of some bills which Wittrock had rendered his customers for coal. and wood, and these were sent to 8t. Louis to de sub- mitted to an expert who was working on the JIM CUMMINGS LETTERS.’’ The first of these letters was sent to the Globe- Democrat and was written, it is said, to remove suspicion from Fotheringham. The story ot the robbery was told and, as proofs of the genuineness of the author, the deteo- tives were told to search along the bank of the Missoubi, a mile above St, Charles, and they would there find askiff in which the robber bad reached that point the night of the robbery, and there he bad left his layout **grubb,’’ cooking utensils and guns. Then, too, he had left a package in the St. Louis Unia Depot check-room marked with the initidie’**J.N.’’ Also there accompanied the lettef wrappers from about the money pack- ages stolen from the express car. There was much bravado in this letter, not only in its writing, but in the information it gave. When the reporters were on hot irons fearing to be scooped by their rivais, and emulated each other in the composition of won- derful stories that long since passed out of sight and recollection having less foundation than air-built castles, the Post-DisPaTon knowing the utter lack of facte at the Southern Hotel headquarters, said the detectives were wait- ing tor the robber or robbers to commit an error, to makea blunder, waiting for him to show himself an idiot. The error was made in the writing of the ‘‘Cummings’’ letter. Following up ite facts operatives learned that on October 1d two men bought stores at St. Charles that were found planted on the Missouri as the letter had indicated. The man was found who had sold the skiff which bore the name of Sandy. It was leaky and the owner helped the purchasers to repair it. The wérk was finished on the afternoon ofthe 15th and at 20’clock the men got in and rowed up the river. They carried besides the stores a shot- gun and an army musket. From conversa- tions with all the persons in and about 8t. Charles who saw the two men, excellent de- scriptions were obtained of them, and the ds - scription of one TALLIED EXACTLY with the description of the robber furnished by Fotheringham. After the robbery, it was learned, on October 27, about noon one of the men had come down the river to St. Charies in another. skiff. He was seen by one of the men who sold him stores as the larger of the two that had appeared in 88. Charles on the l4th and 15th. There his trail was lost fora time. In the package checked at the St. Louis Union Depot bearing the initials ‘‘J. M.“ was found, beside the articles which were de- scribed in the letter, a ballad sheet on which the address ‘‘2108 Chestnut street“ was dis- covered. An operative went to the house, and it was found that a Mrs. Berry kept the house, letting rooms. She told the operative that on Octoper 21, the larger expect a friend. He It a letter comes addressed Win ee, Ps Pe Se On one occasion Miss Berry and her be- e pty Satay Ng Jett for mal ö . x £ 3 . ; ** ä * * “ = ? — : ; . ; re Dire Mrs. Berry was going to move in a few days, and she was asked to make a more thorough search of the room. She did, and two days Oo. and scraps of a label bearing the number 2,94. The label was recognized as one used inthe numbering of ‘‘old horse’’ pack- ages, that is packages unclaimed within a cer- tain period and stood subject to reclamation, and if unclaimed at the end of a year to de sold. Ie was learned that the label in question was the number given two valises received at the St. Louis office from St. Charles, October 15, one addressed to Ed Wiiliams and the other to W. Harmon. They gave as their address 2108 Olive street, the number of a vacant lot, but also the num- ber of Mrs. Berry’s house on Chestnut street. This was another link, though a small one. An expert who had been at work on the Cum- mings letters and the Wittrock coal bills said they were from the same hand, although the letters were written in back hand and the bills were ina running hand. At this point the story shifte to Leavenworth, Kan., where a female operative had learned all about Wittrock’s family there. His mother is an in- valid suffering from an accident that occurred a year ago. Two sisters are teachers in the High School and stand well. Wittrock had been wild but it was not thought he was crooked. He borrowed $1,700 of his mother to go into the coal business in Chicago. A careful watch had been placed on Mrs. Haight, who with her child returned to live with Mrs. Mast. It was learned her hus- band was at Nashville and was getting his mall care of J. M. Williams, a hatter. Two operatives were sentto Nashville to shadow Haight. They found him in the roofing busi- ness, doing well and not extraordinarily — IN THE HATFUL OF CLEWS furnished the detectives gratuitously by police and busybodies was one that turned out to doe a good lead. Oscar Cook, a former Leavenworth boy, was living in Kansas City and had shown a great deal ot money. He had been an inti- mate friend of Wittrock’s, and the case had progressed 80 far to- ward proving Wittrock’s complicity that a close watch was put on Cook. He claimed he had won his money in a lottery. The shadow missed Cook occasionally and each time after he returned a Jim Cummings letter appeared in some paper. The shadow took beard with Mrs. Cox, Cook’s mother-in- law, and became his bosom friend. They gambled and drank together for weeks. Mrs. Berry’s daughter and son were taken to Chicago for the purpose of identifying Thomas Weaver, keeper of a laundry in Chi- cago. He was supposed to de the smalier man who occupied the Ber- ry back parior. She was veiled to prevent recognition and passed the laundry, but could not see well enough through the voll. 80 she was placed in a cab, which was driven along the biock on which Weaver’s laundry was situated. The cab was kept in the vicinity until she had seen him several times and made sure that he wasthe man. That was about five weeks ago. All the Pinkertonian washing was diverted to the Weaver laundry and a close watch was kept upon him until Wittrock should return. Shadows had also deen kept upon the latter’s house until last Tuesday night when the detectives learned they were themselves being shadowed. They made the most of this discovery by shadow- ing their shadow. He was seen to enter Wittrock’s residence, No. 10 Lincoln street, at II o’clock. He left in a few minutes, and soon after another man ap- peared, who walked in the shadow of the houses until he reached No. 10, then suddenly stepped into the house. This man was believed to be Wittrock. ED KINNEY, A BROTHER-IN-LAW of Wittrock, and employed in the coal yard during the proprietor’s absence, as superin- tendent, had gone to Quincy, II., a few days before, accompanied by a detective. He spent his time there in drinking, and the detective got in with him. He received two telegrams on the second day that seemed to excite him very much. Thatnighthe played pool in a saloon with the detective. He hung his coat on the wall, and while out fora moment the shadow ‘‘nipped’’ and read the telegrams.They were: „Come home immediately. F. is here.“ And, *‘*‘Oome home at ones. Fred has re- turned. He telegraphed his find to Chicago, with advice that a watch be kept at the depots, on the theory that Wittrock would learn of the shadow that had been kept on his house and would immediately leave Chicago. William Pinkerton went to the Wabash Depot and there arrested * man who proved to de the pastor of Zion Church, Warren, Neb. No Wittrock was found, and he was not seen about his house. Kinney came back the next day. That was last Wednesday. He went first to the coal yard and then to Wittrock 's house, remaining there a long time. On Thursday a furnished room was secured over a drug store that commanded a view of Wittrock’s house. The shadow was put in this room because the weather was so cold he would attract attention on the street. Robert Pinkerton himself remained in the room all day Thursday and until Friday morning. He ,then went to the agency and got two of the most powerful operatives. They saw Kinney go into the house. « Presently he came out and crossed the street to an alley in the rear ot the coal yard from which he presently emergea accom- panied by Thomas Weaver. He remained in the house half an hour, then came out alone and walked away quickly. Ten minutes later — ais, RLM ei . * m rs. On “5 5 . 7 . t. N * g N. 7 N „ 1 * sete Poy. Bp ae 1 7 J . N 3 When Kinney was taken into a back room to be searched, Witttock said: Don't give up that money; {tie mine. These men are rob- bing us. At thie Kinney made resistance, but was choked into submission. The house was udt searched until Weaver was captured. A watch was set for him and about 1 o’cloek he was seen to leave his home. He went to the Wittrock coal yard and there the detectives followed him. He was quickly arrested and troned. Mrs. Wittrock saw the struggle from a window of the house whieh overlooks the coal yard, and as soon as Weaver had been sent away Robert Pinkerton went with Constable Ed Wallace into the house to search it. Mrs. Wittrock was placed under arrest and immediately became sick. She wanted some woman to at- tend her, and one was called. They went into an apartment and remained several min- utes. When they came out the woman was asked what had deen done. She confessed Mrs. Wittrock had taken off a skirt and made her put it on. The skirt was at once taken off — found to be lined with greenbacks in wade of $50. Altogether $1,900 was gotten out of that skirt. The Wittrock woman had also given her female friend a diamond ring, and the stone was identified as on? taken from the express car the night of th@ robbery. Mrs. Wittrock voluntarily gave up . She was taken away to a safe place and a SEARCH OF WEAVER’S HOUSE was made, resultitg in the discovery of $3,000 stowed away in earthenware jars. The publicaton in Chicago of these arrests made mnepessary the arrest of Haight at Nashville, and Oscar Cook at Kansas Uity. Onithe search of Burnham a baggage check was found which was for a valise at a Chicaga depot. The valise con- tained Fotheringhan’s pistol, which was taken from the car he night of the robbery, and Adams Rxpress letter heads. Wittrock, the king bee of the scheme, was exceedingly well rs ene in the neighbor- hood in which he live. He bought the coal- yard a year ago kst May. He attended closely to busineas until about three months ago, when it was given out he had gone to Hansas, and Ed Kinney, his wife’s brother, topk charge of the busi- ness. The rent 0 the apartments occupied by the Wittrocks was promptly paid and they seemed very prosperous. A tew doors west ofthe coal yard is a two- story frame building, 733 West Lake street, oc- cupied by Clara L. Weaver asa laundry. Her husband, Thomas Weaver, is an expressman. Mrs. Weaver asserts Thomas ies not her hus- band’s right name. He turned a nimble pen- ny during the summer huckstering fruit. Oscar Cook acted only as an accomplice after the robbery, it is now understood. He mailed the Cummings letters and was charged with some other portions of the work. He is a cooper and was employed in Kansas City on distillery casks. ; W. W. HAIGHT PLANNED, or at least furnished the information, for the robbery. He was well known at Leavenworth, where his father, mother, sister and brother reside. His father was formerly a root- painter, but is now in the Sol- diers’ Home. His sister teaches music. He was married while off on a leave during his connection with the Adams Express Company. His wife continued to live with her mother for some time afterthe marriage, but came to St. Louis, where a child was born. He had worked as brakeman and in other capacities on railroads. He is about 80 years old, 5 feet 10 inches high, and is bald headed. Emma Moore, who has been called and probably is Wicttrock’s wife, was a loosely mannered girl in Leavenworth, Kan., years ago. She had plenty of admirers, but of all she chose one Thomas Martine, who at that time was a messenger forthe Pacific Express Company, driving a wagon between the and the office. On the dtn of 1880, a safe belonging to the United States Army, containing $26,006 in cur- rency, to pay the troops at Fort Reno, was delivered by Paymaster Broadhead to Mar- tine. When the messenger on the train re- ceipted for it, he noticed that the sealing- wax that had been put over the key-hole had been knocked off and so reported to the agent at Atchison, whoagain sealed it and for- warded it to its destination. When opened at Ft. Reno it contained but $6,000 of the original amount, and the robbery was the talk for months. Several persors were arrested, but none were even convicted. It was not long after the money had disap- peared that Ema Moore branched out from an inmate of a house of ilJ-fame to a pro- prietress, anda building corner of Third and Cherokee streets was fitted up in a most gor- geous manner. After some scintillation she went to Chicago, where she probably joined Wittrock. WARRANTS ISSUED, Superintendent Damsel Swears to the Infor- mation Last Night.

By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcen. CHICAGO, III., December 28.—The statement is published here this morning that W. W. Haight, who was arrested in Nashville, Tenn., was brought here early this morning by the two Pinkerton detectives who made the arrest. To the ublic is that do other- wise would interfere with the successful working out of several important clews which is complete. When all this is done the pris- ner willbe brought together and the other features of the case made Known. It is apparent that the Pinkertons haye no idea of being satisfied with the arrest of the perpetrators of the express robbery and the capture of a small part of the money stolen. Some $40,000 yet unaccounted for is a sufficient inducement to keep up inguiries yet awhile. Weir Satisfied, CINCINNATI, December 28.—L. O. Weir, West- ern Manager of the Adams Express Company, who had immediate charge of the seafch for the men who robbed the car near St. Louis, October 25, returned to- day from Chicago where he had the leasure of seeing his plans perfected. His nstructions to the detectives were to find the robbers and not temporize with a vtew of re covering the money. He says he directed the Pinkertons to spare no money in the search, and he pronounces their work the finest that he has ever seen, and says he has considerable experience of this kind, having been called to assist other companies in like cases. He declines to speak as to Fotheringham until the men are taken to St. Louis and further investigation is made. KELLER’S STEAL. Harry Miner, the Manager, Robbed of Over $1,000 by his Treasurer. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. New Lok, December 28.—Richard H. Keller, for the past three years treasurer of Harry Miner’s People’s Theater, has defaulted in the sum of over $1,000. To the Post-DispatcH reporter who called on him last night Mr. Miner said: ‘‘Mr. Keller was a very nice respectable young man, and the only way I can account for his conduct is that he got into bad com- pany, and could not resist the temptation of stealing to pay debts, or keep his end up, as the saying is, with his associates. took him from selling tickets in the gallery, three seasons ago, and advausel him the position of treasurer.

He had every employe in the house, even the gas boy, charged with an advance of salar which was never re- ceived. e would put away vouch- ers and pocket the money. He, in this way, had $70 charged to Mr. Davis, the manager of the theater. Advances on printing and the money paid in for advance seats was also appropriated, while he had the audacity as well to col- lect the rent of the man on the corner, making on that little scheme alone $260. I had a general suspicion all along that things were not going on all right, and recently asked of the k-keeper why so much balance was left over. I was in- formed that the money was in the box- office safe, which Mr. Keller had charge of. I opened the safe but it. was not there. Mr. Keller was not at the theater that day, and when he came in the evening he stated that he had been sick. Iasked him regarding the money and he said it was all in the box-office, but in one of the drawers instead of the safe. I then told him that I wouldgive him until the next morning to bank the money and give mea clear balance, or I would bal- ance him in the afternoon. He did not materialize the next day, nor have we seen him since, and an examination shows that he has appropriated over $1,000. ’’ FUNERAL OF MBS. GRATIOT.

LEHRSVILLE, Pa., December 28.—The greatest excitement prevails here over numerous outrages committed by a gang of tramps who have infested this neigh- borhood during the past few months. These miscreants entered the residence of Jasper Smith last Friday and secured a large amount of cash, jewelry and cloth- ing. Every room in the house, with but one exception, had been pillaged. The occupant of this room was a ié- year-old daughter of Mrs. Smith, who was awake and he the tramps going through the house, but was so overcome with fear that she was unable to move or iveanalarm.

PINKERTON’S PRIVATE PRISON. When REGINALD FRONT DE Baur and WILLIAM DE La Marck, the Boar of Ar- dennes, sent their armed retainers out to seize wayfaring Jews or other rich prizes and incarcerated such captives in their castle vaults and dungeons, there to be kept and tortured till they had paid roundly for freedom, such outrages were only abuses of the recognized authority of the perpetrators. Nor can we question the lawfulness of the old Star Chamber trials and judgments that are so abhor- rent to modern ideas of justice. All these things were incident to very imperfect social organizations and systems of gov- ernment that have been superseded long ago by others more in accord with mod- ern freedom and enlightenment. Yet frequent accounts of PINKERTON’s proceedings read as if he wields a sort of baronial power in this country, and that heand his men can arrest, imprison or transport in handcuffs from State to State any person whom they may choose or pre- tend to suspect of crime. It seems that they have their own private prisons, called “pri- vate hold-overs,”’sgmething like the slave pens’? of old ‘‘nigger traders,” and can detain anybody therein at their mercy as long as they choose, without commit- ment, until they choose to surrender their prisoner to the officers of the law. Whom are these officers serving when they permit such things to be done! By what statute of Illinois is PINKERTON au- thorized to operate his private prison in Chicago in utter disregard of all citizen rights guaranteed from Magna Charta down to the latest State Constitution? Have the long-established safe-guards of personal liberty and justice so manacled the officers of the law in Illinois that she has been compelled to confer extraordi- nary power upon a professional vigilance committee for the protection of society? a PURITAN AND CAVALIER. Mr. Grapy’s good-humored allusion to the exclusion of the Cavalier from the subjects discussed at the New England dinners,reminds us that ours isa composite civilization, built up of diverse materials and drawing its vital aliment from several sources. No single one of the original thirteen Colonies can claim that its peculiar idea“ preponderates in the national life. In fact, none of the Colonial ideas suit the changed conditions of later times. There clung to the early Cavalier the flavor- ing of English aristocratio life that tended to foster an unrepublican view of the social economy. The early Puritan, after finding religious freedom for him- self, proceeded to withhold it from his neighbor, while his transgressions were magnified by the persecution of witches, Quakers and Baptists, and by the pur- chase of negro slaves. But it is the Puri- tan who has labored with the best results in starting the Nation on a career of ma- terial prosperity and in sowing the seeds of sturdy independence and manly self- help; while the Cavalier did his part in giving to our home life its finest grace, in sweetening neighborly intercourse with generous good humor, and in perpetuat- ing the kindly spirit of hospitality. In noting the early contributions to the National life and spirit, it should not be forgotten that the Dutchman, the Quaker and the Huguenotal) did their part; while the continuous stream of immigration that has been pouring into the country from the earliest times must be taken into account in analyzing the elements and forces that enter into the composition of the American Nation. wr TRUTH AND ELOQUENCE, The New York Tribune, in referring to the recent speech of Mr. Grapy, which has achieved such extraordinary notoriety, says: “It shows how true, as well as elo- quent, were the words of Mr. Bias.” To the ordinary mind this looks like a remarkable way of demonstrating truth and eloquence. The remarks of Mr. Gravy, in so far as they relate to anything that Mr. BLA has said about the South or Southern people. simply show that the great magnetic trickster has discussed this theme without truth or eloquence; for the rhetoricians tell usthat no man can be really eloquent unless he is at the same time truthful and honest. Mr. Gravy testifies that no section of the country shows a more prosperous “laboring population than the negroes of **the South,“ while Mr. Bran testifies > * * er — * 7 . „5 Pan + question of contract and ex- bo l be eee 4 n. ‘¢ * * — American people care very little the wrong man or utterly fail to ‘‘make the punishment fit the crime” that the public is a unit in condemning their work. But when a large and permanent organization of armed mercenaries are maintained among us by the great corporations to seize and imprison suspeots“ and work up testi- mony against them, the vigilance com- mittee methods in the operations of such a body can have no just claim on popular sympathy or toleration. What no officer of the law would dare do should not be permitted to any so-called police organ- ization maintained and operated outside of the laws. THE system of tenants’ trustees ar- ranged under the Irish ‘‘plan of cam- paign” continues to give serious trouble to the English Government, and more vigor- ous measures will be used to suppress it. These trustees are the persons with whom the tenants deposit their reduced rent, which are paid to the landlords or their agents, when they agree to the reduction. When the landlords refuse to accept the reduced rent the money deposited with the tenants’ trustees is expended in fighting the landlords or in meeting the expenses of prosecutions instituted by the Govern- ment. The existing law against con- spiracy to defraud is now applied against the tenants’ trustees andall who aid or abet in the present scheme of resisting the payment of unreduced rent. Several members of Parliament have been ar- rested and numerous other arrests are ex- pected to follow. —— wa MIKADO PINKERTON is becoming picturesque in his detective methods. . — THE President’s rheumatism should be sub- mitted to the Senate without delay.

German Population Figures. From the Paris American Register. Concerning the large and constant increase in «6the)6=6population of Germany in general, and that of Prussia in par- ticular, the Royal Prussian Statistical Bureau gives the foliowing figures for 1885. The total population on December 1, 1885, was 28,318, 458. The births during the year numbered 1,064,401, the marriages 230,707, and the deaths 716,459, The natural increase, therefore, was 347,542, and the average number of births per 1,000 of population 87.6, of marriages, 16.4, and of deaths, 25.8. These figures, high as they are, as compared with those of Engiand and Wales, show a surplus for the last named country, whose population was 27,499,041, with 894,270 births, 197,743 marriages, and 522,750 deaths, making the actual increase per 1.000 in Kun- giand (and Wales) 13.5, as against 12,8 K | only in many friends among the | myself, I don’t believe in It is a hollow mockery, and false to the core.

The present public schoo} educational sys- tem of this city contains twe highly mischiev- ous features, The firat is already adverted to —namely: the allowing of many to grow up in ignorance of the use of pen and book that a few may be taught Latin, French, German, geometry, algebra, musi¢, painting, to., which ought to be taught in private school or not at all. The second mischievous feature is that the great majority of those who are thus educated to the exclusion of the rest are spoiled for manual labor. They graduate from the high school with the idea that they know too much for the foundry or ma- chine shop, or the carpenter’s, or shoe- maker’s, or toiler’s bench, and must obtain employment as salesclerks, or book-keepers, or journalists, and that failing in that they are justified in loafing rather than ‘‘descend’’ to the level of the mechanic. Instead of be- ing taught the dignity of honest labor they really learn to despise it. If may safely be assumed that the education of one pupil in the so called higher branches not only lessens his willingness to be useful at whatever may turn up, but excludes at least three others from the opportunity of learning to read, write and cipher, without which no one in these days can expect to act the part of a good citizen. The teaching of the orna- mentals to three hundred means, at least in this city, that one or two thousand poor children are debarred fom the privilege of learning how to enjoy a >ook or newspaper, and thus shut out from the ability to become wise by a judicious course of reading during their leisure hours.

THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying this Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, December 28.—The WORLD says: The people admired Gen. Logan as a brave soldier anda frank and honest politician, but no incident in his career won for him greater popularity than his manly, upright conduct at the conclusion of the campaign of 1884. It will be remembered that while Mr. Blaine en- couraged the effort to claim the vote of New York and to incite a dispute over the result similar to that which inaugurated the frauds of 1876, Gen. Logan denounced such a policy as dishonest and unpatriotic, and frankly conceded the election of Cleveland and Hen- dricks.’’ THE TRIBUND. The Tribune says: ‘‘Let it be observed, once for all, that it is not possible to suppress or to abate greatly partisanship on one side only. Whether it is desirable, whether it would be patriotic, it is a waste of time to consider; the thing is not possible. If the party in power conducts affairs on the theory that 1 by that party must de pre- sumed to be the more honest and worthy, the arty in opposition will, of necessity, thrust orward the opposition opinion as constantly. If one set of journals devotes its entire time to undeserved or excessive laudation of President Clevoland,.other journals will be obliged con- stantly to point out wherein the estimate is unfair and untrue,’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘There are many rich men in Washington; and some very rich ones in the Senate, which has been much derided lately as a club of millionaires. But there are few cities in the Union where a man can make the position his real character merits with less reference to the amount of money he has to expend than in Washington, and it is easy to name a dozen men in the Senate who are thoroughly respected and have all the in- fluence their ab ~~ entitles them to have and who are no wealthier than Senator Logan was. Whether money counts for more or less in the National capital than it did fifty years agoisa question that cannot be definitely answered.’’ THE SUN. The Sun says: It President Cleveland re- ally tried, as reported, to help Morrison in bis last attack upon tariff, we are not amon those who disapprove of his action. It would have been better if he had expressed his sym- athy either one way or the other more open- y, so that the present uncertainty might be removed.

Seldom were these qualities so essential to the enjoyment of the comedy so unmis- takably present asin the performance of Rose Coghlan and her company at the Grand last night.

Her acting was exquisite, every artifice of the capricious and pretty woman hav- ing the delicate quality of ease and spon- taneity linked with an irresistible spirit of genuine fun. There was a witohery of innocent deviltry in her quarreling scenes, which was instantly changed to serious dignity with fine scorn for the h te Joseph and humble sorrow for the wrong she had done her husbandin the screen scene. She was co through- out, and this was one of the chief charms of the performance, which grew stronger to the end. Mr. Charles Walcott, as Sir Peter Teazle, shared the honors with Miss Cogh- ian. He merged his identity so : letely in the crusty, quarreling but af- ectionate and honorable old helor- benedict that the creation had the true element of reality. It was a splendid piece of work; natural, spontaneous and artisticin every way. Mr. De Belleville’s Charles was an admirable effort.

White Crow suggested that if the presses were not busy they might make some pictures of him. The others thought this a pretty good idea and so they were all taken to the °WORLD’s n room.

Moralists may derive some little com- fort froma retrospective glance at the record of divorce under the dome for the year now closing. The five Cirouit Judges during the five terms of the year have had pefore them 379 cases of matrimo- pial misfit, a decrease of fifty-eight ss compared with the number of divorce entries for the preceding year. With an increased population of a mixed character it would be fair to assume that the demand upon the divorce machinery ot the courts would grow apace, but the figures tell a different tale. It has long been &@ Common saying among habitues of the Court-house that three out of five applicants at the Recorder’s desk on the ground floor for a license to wed would figure within twelve months on the floor above seeking severance. This was a somewhat exaggerated view of the situation, although for five years past the court dockets have been heavily BURDENED WITH DIVORCE ults, and as many as seventy knots have een untied in one day. Ministers de- red the condition of society from their pits, and although the St. Louis oroe mill never turned out such a nasty of domestic scandal as a Colin opbell or a Mordaunt contest, it has oo- onally shocked this community with Inful revelations of the inner hfe of pple reckoned among the best families. e greater number of contested cases n be traced to young couples in good cial standing and the cases of de- ult are chiefly brought about by pprovidence.and intemperance.

In the Criminal Court this morning sen- tence of death was passed on two more murderers. Some days ago the motion for a new trial in the case of Alfred Blunt, colored, convicted of wife murder was overruled and a motion in arrest of judg- ment was not filed in the case in the pre- scribed four days. Shortly after the opening of court this morning he was ar- raigned before the bar and asked if he had any reason to give why sentence of death should not be passed upon him. He said he had nothing to say, but muttered something about not having „any show at all.” The judgment of court was accordingly passed upon him, the date of the execution being set for February 11. While Judge Normile was pronouncing the sentence Blunt remained very calm, the words appearing to have no effect whatever on him. He was led back to the dock and JERRY PAGELS was brought out. He is the man who was convicted of killing Samuel Koh at the tannery of the Norman L. Brown Hide Company, The motion for a new trial in Pagels’ case was argued yesterday and taken un- der advisement until this morning by the court. Judge Normile then over- ruled the motion and Pagels’ attorneys immediately filed a motion in arrest of judgment. This was also gone over — overruled. Pagels was told to step u receive sentence. He had been sitti bes there while the motions in his case were be- ing overruled andwas thorough od oe prepared to receive sentence. He walk the bar with a firm step and in reply to the Court’s query as to whether he had any reason to give why sentence should not be — 4 upon him, said, after a pause: I on’t know as it would do me any good to say anything, so I guess it is no use.“ Lou have nothing to say then!“ No, sir:’ it is 3 a matter of form,” said the Court, as are op to the first remark of the 2 hen the death sentence was passed upon Pagels, the llth of Feb- ruary also being flxed as the date of his execution. Nota musdein his face moved as it was being pronéunced.. When the Court had concluded Pagels said a word or two to one of his attorneys and was led back tothe dock. The attorneys of both men gave formal, notice of an appeal. ALFRED BLUNT is the little hunchback negro who cut his wife’s throat in Carondelet last May. She had left him because of his jealousy, and because she refused to return to live with him he cut her thr with a butcher knife and chopped her @ith a hatchet. The murder occurred at their home, Seventh and Koeln streets, and he dragged her all over the house and yard. is defense was that she attacked him first. JERRY PAGELS was a worthless fellow who was foreman of a tannery in the Southern part of the city, and he was very envious of Samuel Ko n, ane 8 of a rival tannery, who was sober and industrious and ha deen —_ 7 some of te els’ customers. One er Pagels had been discharged he visited the tannery where Kohn was em- ployed, and having him called outside, shot him as he came to the door. In connection with the Blunt sentence, Mr. Hornsby, his attorney, stated that the reason he did not file a motion fof. arrest of judgment inthe case, was that theré were no grounds upon which to base any such motion.

It provides bread, biscuit, cake, muffins, or rolls, which may be eaten when hot without inconvenience by persons of the most delicate digestive organs. With most persons it is necessary that bread raised with yeast should lose its freshness or become stale before it can be eaten with safety. The same distressing results follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry, eto, ralsed by the cheap, inferior baking powders that contain lime, alum, phosphates, or other adulterants. Theo? rol! and muffin and the delicious hot griddle cakes raised by the Royal Baking Powder are as wholesome and digestible as warm soup, meat, or any other food. ( Another greatly superior quality possessed by the Royal Baking Powder is that by which the preservation of important elements of the flour is effected in raising the bread by the mechanical operation of the gas, without fer- mentation. Yeast, and all baking powders that produce the leavening gas by fermentation, as is well known, destroy a portion of the nutritive elements of the flour, and particu - larly those which are the most healthful and the greatest aids to a perfect assimilation of the food. The Royal Baking Powder, while perfectly leavening, retains without change or impairment all those elements which were in- tended by nature, when combined in our bread, to make it literally the staff of life.” | No leavening agent or baking powder, except the Royal Baking Powder, possesses these great qualifications.

New York, December 28.—The WORLD publishes the following this morning: The WorRLD is at last enabled to state, on the best authority, that as was in the first instance exclusively announced in its columns some two weeks ago, the Rev. Dr. McGlynn is under indefinite sus- pension, both as a rector and a priest.

The matter is out of the Archbishop’s ds. The statement that Dr. 1 been summoned to Rome to defend are also at fault.

He been summoncd to Rome, and he is err Of course, if he had tten to Rome submitting ay aes reasons why he cannot go soon, he will be gran a reasonable extension of time t I do not believe he has done this. 1 believe he has — 2 ignored the whole matter. The fact is that Dr. McGlynn’s whole attitude for many years has been one of antagonism to the policy of the Catholic Church. He first opposed the es- tablishment of parochial schools, as un- American and antagonistic to the publio school system. Now the establishment of parochial schools is designed for the pur- pose of teaching religion which we can- not expect to do in —_— er as they are designed for children o every denomination. Then when the question of depriving the Pope of his temporal power came up he rather took a ition against the Pope in the matter, which, to say the least, was not exactly Catholic. And, finally, when this agita- tion ~ property in land rose he took a stand against the church again. Now, the Archbishop has dealt very leniently with Dr. McG bap and given him * set himself ht. declined gelt right, and was an im nt one, there was nothing left to do but to refer his case to Rome. There it is at present, and Rome must de- cide. Rome does not care for individuals.

Her story is an interesting one, chiefly because of the peculiar way in which she discovered her husband after such a long absence. The discovery was an accident, Exactly ten years ago, on December 31, 1876, Louis Lichtenberger — left his wife and little daughter in Newark. He kissed them both, saying that he would get shaved and return in half an hour. His wife was heavy-hearted at his peculiar manner; she had a feeling at the time that he never meant to return. Socially, he had been her superior, and his family, which was quite wealthy in Germany, would not recognize his mar- riage. Louis was romantic, however, and the young couple soon set sail for New York. They found it hard to push ahead, and the husband’s pluck and love failed him. He left his wife, telling her he would go to Germany, which he did, re- maining there one year. During all this time she did not receive any news from him, but when his tired of keeping him he wrote to his wife asking for money to pay his passage back to America. The woman did as she was asked. She washed and ironed, while Louis buckled to work asa brewer. When he became — Briere megen: at this he disappeared and nothing more was heard of him until two weeks ago. He was before that earning wages. His present whereabouts Voight, a tailor liv- ing in Newark. He lieves in luck and in signs and in other n ideas.

His friend was startled at the mention of the name, for he knew the story of the desertion of Mrs. Lichtenberger and also knew thewoman. He learned that the in | Louis Lichtenberger of St. Louis was the father of two children, having been mar- some years ago. Lichtenberger knocked around for some time after leaving Newark, and had eventually landed in Council Bluffs,where he found work in the brewery of Jacob Neumeyer. In the brewery saloon break - they were this stor bu songht Mrs. Lichtenberger and told her what he had heard. They decided to in- ves te the matter and 1 went next day to the tailor’s house and Voight’s friend brought in the young daughter of Mrs.Lichtenberger,who is now 18 years old, into the room first. At once the tailor ex- claimed ‘‘That is Lichtenberger’s child. I the great resemblance.’’ That wishbone, and After hearing made. Lichtenberger has lately gone to St. Louis wit his secon wife and their two children, and it appears he is to receive a large sum of money shortly from the old country. He is working in William Lemp’s brewery. In the mean- time, Mrs. Lichtenberger has earned a living by hard work and educated her children. She is raising the money to go to St. Louis and establish her claim, 80 that Mrs. Lichtenberger No. 2 cannot get her share of the money. Much interest is manifested in the case, and she has been recommended to cause her faithless spouse to be arrested for bigamy. Locating Mr. Lichtenberger. A Post-DisPatcH reporter called at the Lemp brewery on Cherokee street after the abovo telegram was received and was told in the office that Louis Lichtenberger was employed in the brewery cellar. It was the custom of the 8 in that department, like the wise virgins, to fill their lamps at certain hours. After about ten minutes’ waiting they came up in | search of oil, and Louis, who was among them, was called into the office. Louis may have nromanticin his youth, but the relentless hand of time has robbed him of all its external evidences. He appeared nearly six feet tall, and his weight, which lay mostly in the region of his waist-band, would be estima at 240 pounds. His face was fat and flushed like that of avery * ger and copious drinker, and his eyes ha that * look which is 80 frequently the surface indication of a rich vein of alcohol. He wore high rubber boots and a complete suit of blue over- alls. The conversation which ensued was indicative of Louis’ mental vigor. Is this Mr. Louis Lichtenberger?“ **Yes” (with a long, sleepy drawl).

The Mill te Take Place Te-Day Provided There is No Hitch in the Arrangements— Lew Simmons Trip to Cuba—Meeting of O’ Leary and Danferth-—Sporting News. A delegation of St. Louis sports, together with Dan Daly and Bob Farrell, left the city this morning to attend the fight be- tween Charley Daly of this city and Myers of Streator, Dll. The articles of agree- ment call for a fight to a finish with skin gloves for a stake of 00. It was first announced that the battle would occur in the Braidwood Opera-house at night and fifty tickets were sold in this city. A day or two ago, however, Charley received a letter from O. L. Cheney, his backer, then in Bloom- ington, stating that this arrangement had been called off and that the party would assemble to-day in Braidwood from which a chartered train would bear them to the battle-ground. Cheney did not state the locality selected for the mill, but it is understood that these arrangements were made in order to evade any interference from the authorities. Daly has been training for the fight for some weeks past and he is in splendid condition. The fight, itis an- nounced, will take place between the hours of 4 0’clock this afternoon and midnight, if there is no hitch in the arrangement. _ — PATSEY AND TOMMY. O’Leary and Danforth Meet an Have a Word or Twe. Patsey O’Leary, the featherweight, has arrived in New York and is anxious to meet Warren again. O’Leary’s introduc- tion to Danforth is described as follows by a metropolitan paper: The meeting between O’Leary and Danforth was both interesting and amusing. The Welshman looked the Harlemite over from head to foot, while he was himself being ex- amined just as carefully. „ blowed if I think you know much about fighting,“ was O’Leary’s comment, „Well,“ answered Danforth. “I gota lot to learn about de game, but I think I can lick you and Warren in de same week.“ ll give you 4 go,“ retorted O Leary, ‘before I’m done. I’m after Warren now. O’Leary was born in Wales of Irish arents in 1863. ‘*‘I won,” he said, “six- een fights in the old country, and never was beaten. I had three goes on this side of the water, and won one in two rounds, and another in ten rounds. I lost my battle with Warren dead wrong, andI am after him now. Some good sporting men of this town sent on for me and I’m going to take Danforth’s place if he don’t want to meet Warren or is unable to find the stakes.“ O’ Leary was very neatly dressed in a suit of dark corduroy. He is of light com- plexion and on his upper lip is a shadow ofa mustache. He stands 5 feet 6 inches in his stocking fect and he weighed last night 130 pounds én his clothes. McAulifie and Chambers. Jack McAuliffe called at the office of a New York paper Saturday to make a statement in regard to the challenge of Arthtr Chambers. McAuliffe said that he is now matched to fight Prof. Gilmore, the Canadian pugilist, and the match is to take place in a few weeks. All of Mo- Auliffe’s money is up on this match and he cannot aceept Chambers’ challenge on this accoun „ Chambers will kee his 3 open until I fight Gil- more and win some money, I will accept it cheerfully,” said McAuliffe. _ — — — — BULLS VS. BASE BALL, The Stery of Lew Simmons’ Trip to Havana Says the Philadelphia Times describing Lew Simmons’ trip to Cuba: and the whole town hurried down to the wharf to see what was up. It was corey when the ship arrived and the base ball- ers were enjoying their regular morning siesta upon the roof of their hotel when the whole population came rushing up the main street wildly shouting one name: **‘Mazantilla! Mazantilla! Mazantilla!” „Who is Mazantilla?’’ asked Mr. Sim- mons, but nobody knew. J guess he is a new king over Spain,“ quoth Lew, and he returned to his coffee and his Havana. That afternoon Mr. Scott returned from the interior, where he had gone on an alli- gator hunt, and he informed Mr. Sim- mons that Mazantilla had arrived. „es, I know that much,“ replied Lew, the whole town told me that morn- ing, but who is Mazantilla?’’ ‘He is a bull-fighter.’’ Mr. Simmons whistled. The following Sunday the base ball clubs and the bull-fighter played in ES sition. Mazantilla had the eall. e turned people away and the overflow went tothe base balimatch. It cost $1.75 to get into the bull fight and about 2 cents to see the base ball game. Private box seats for Mazantilla were $30 extra. That day Mazantilla killed nine bulls and took in $69,000. The re- ceipts at the base ball grounds were not uite so much. Mazantilla was the lion rom that day. Simmons and Scott sent one team home and kept the other to play against the bull-fights. The b.-f.’s got the best of it and Simmons and Scott and the other nine packed up their satcheis and sailed for home. Mr. Simmons’ winter experience has made him a sadder and a wiser man. He longs no longer for win- ter snaps. The trip to Cuba cost just about $1,300. Stevens’ Close Call. The Hong Kong papers report that Thomas Stevens, the bicyclist. while riding through the interior of China, was stoned by the natives, and narrowly es- caped death. He bravely proceeded on his way, and had reached the town of Kingarifoo when he was set upon a howling mob of natives who broke his bicycle, and would have killed him had not some soldiers rescued him and spirited him away in a boat at night. He reached Yokohama all right, and is ex- ected in San Francisco the middle of anuary. The reports do not state whether he lost his famous wheel. Sporting Gossip. Beach has accepted Hanlan’s challenge to row for the championship of the world on the Nepeau River. Pat Killen will not meet Sullivan unless the latter’s manager shall agree to have the winner take 60 and the loser 40 ‘per cent. Patthinks he can draw nearly as many people as Sullivan can in St. Paul. John L. Sullivan,in a private letter to an old boon companion in Boston, says: „have quit drinking. I hope you have. There’s nothing init. I ought to know, I never was in a better fix, You’ll hear of me in England shortlv.“ Jem Smith sails for New York to-mor- row, determined, he announces, to fight Sullivan for the world’s championship. He requests English pugilists to defer challenges until his return, when he will be happy to accommodate them, Jake Kilrain, the coming man,“ gays that he is anxious to have a twelve-round 4 go with Sullivan. ‘‘Only let me at m, says Kilrain, and 1 t "il come out all mght.” Jake would find it quite another thing after he ot — the ropes with the champion ore m.
