To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain or ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid mat- ter defiles the breath and rots away the delli- cate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feelthat the system does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a blessing beyond all other human enjoyments. To purchase immunity from such a fate should be the object of all afflicted, But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure.

Private Services at the Residence— Removal of the Body Under Escoft— The Rotunda Draped in Mourning—A Burial and Monument Site in Lake Park, Chicago, Offered—The Obsequies—Sol- diers’ Friendship. WasHINGTon, D. C., December 30.—A sheet of fresh fallen show covered the ground this morning, and the skies were overcast and somber. At the Logan man- sion all preparations for the removal of the dead statesman had been perfected during thenight. The remains still lay in the chamber where the General died, but had been placed in the casket, an elaborately draped receptacle, whose hermetic inner casing of copper was con- cealed by its quilted lining of creamy satin, and whose plate-glass top, not yet in position, was designed to reveal the en- tire length of the form within. A square plate of silver in the middle of the cover bears the inscription: UNITED STATES SENATOR, Born February 9, 1826, Died December 26, 1888. Floral pillows with funeral legends, crosses and anchors and other appropriate emblems were placed near the casket and about the room. DRAPING THE ROTUNDA. At an early hour this morning workmen were busil engaged in draping the vast rotunda of the Capitol in mourning, and in erecting the bier upon which was to rest the casket containing the remains of the dead Senator. Upon this bier ha ve lain in state Presidents in and Garfield, Chief Justice Chase — Representative Thad. Stevens. The h black drapery with which it is coveral, however, has been previously used buf on one occasion. It was found in one of the Senate crypts, with an inscription attached to it statin that it had covered bier on whic President Lincoln was In state, and it was thought ap that it should serve the same sad o another dis- tinguished son of Tllinoi#. THE LAST SAD FAREWELL. At Il o’clock the und er and his as- sistants withdrew, when the immediate family were summon and for a brief time were left alone withtheirdead. Then the lids were fastened in place, the ample folds of a garrison flag were arranged in place with ribbons of white, while flowers and palm branches were placed on itstop. These last offices of love and respect were per- formed by the loving hands of the only THE PR SERVICES. All being in readiness fer the more for- mal but still private leave taking, the doors were opened and the widow, sup- —— by her son, and followed by the aughter and her husband, the grandson and other relatives and nearer friends of the deceased, to the number of fifteen or twenty, entered. Mrs. Logan knelt sobbin at the head of the casket, and when the others had entered and the door had been closed, the voice of the pastor was raised in prayer. “Our Father, we gather here to take the last farewell of the form we love, and ere that,form is borne hence from the home he loved, we desire to praise Thee for the joy, for the peace of this once appy home. We praise Thee for his undivided and constant love to this precious woman, the joy of his youth and the pride of his manhood, and we raise Thee for that tender and constant atherly love for this son in whom he took such pride, and for this daughter whom he so fondly cherished. We bless Thee, therefore, for this sweet home, which is more to these dear ones than all public applause, than all the eclat of the out- side world. And now we have nowhere else to go but unto Thee, in this day of trouble. Thou art Soverei over all— Thou gavest and Thou hast taken away, and blessed be Thy holy name, We are assured that Thou hast taken him to Thyself, and that when the years shall have passed away there shall be a reunion around the throne in heaven. We thank Thee for his glorious hope of immortality; we th Thee that he received the sacraments of the death and the resurrection of Jesus, whom he trusted. and we praise thee that his last end was Dmg and now while we bless thee for all his — virtues and all his public and eroic deeds, yet we y thee as we gather in this sorrowful domestic circle to pour the infinite consolation of th grace upon these precious ones, an grant that from out of this dark cloud hey may yet see the father’s smiling face, and may yet realize that these sorrows are after all, designed for the unfolding of a higher form of character, and for the de- velopment of grander virtues. Now we ask thy blessin ain upon these precious ones, that thei future may be in thy gracious care; that all their unfolding 8 may be ordered by thee; that when his brief life isdone, it may be well done, and that at last they may be gathered on the banks of the shining riyer, where sor- row shall be no more, and where joy shall be eternal. Answer us we humbly be- seech thee, and thy name shall have the praise, world without end. Amen!“ REMOVING THE REMAINS. There was a moment of silence broken only 4 the sobs of the stricken ones, and then they tenderly raised the almost faint- ing form of the ow and led her away. The remaining friends paused fora last sight of the beloved features, and with — — departure ended the family’s custody 0 € sStatesman’s : The Congressional Committee now took formal charge of the remains, the Ser- geant-at-Arms su tending the closing of the casket and its slow and orderly removal from the chamber of death, the ieee Sa escort e lines 6 uncov in the By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn. WasHIneTon, D. C., December 90.— An incorrect paragraph was printed in New York yesterday morning, giving an interview with an alleged physician, who said that undoubtedly Gen. Logan’s death was produced by the excessive use of hair dye. He said that some parts of the Gen- eral’s hair, in its natural state, was as white as cotton but that he dyed it every night, and, by that means alone, kept it black. It is hardly possible to devise any more absurd story. This intensely black hair is one of the predominant traits of the Logans. His ancestors have been noted for the intense blackness of their hair. His hair had retained its color up to within two or three years ago. Gray hair soon began to show in a very slight degree. These were visible when close to him. His mustache was fully one-third gray atthe timeof hisdeath. It would e interesting to have the physician ex- plain how the mass of hair could be dyed so that any of the gray hairs could re- main untouched. Both of Logan’s chil- dren have the same intensely black hair and doubtless during the latter part o their lives they will also be accused of using hair dye. THE SOLDIERS’ FRIENDSHIP. The — friendship of Gen. Logan’s sol- dier friends for him is worthy of note ina world of hurry and race for money and place. Men who have gone down in the valley of death together form closer rela- tions than men in the ordinary walks of life. The superior quality of the sol- dier’s friendship has been shown about Gen. Logan’s house since his death. The sincere sympathy of thisclass of friends was so evident, while that of the political friends had a more superficial look. The old veterans who stand about with tears in their eyes, and who can find no words to express their sorrow, are much more eloquent than the politio- lans who discuss in the same breath, death and the succession. One of the most de- voted of Gen. Logan’s friends has been Gen. Beale. The two most conspicuous of the political friends, whose sympathy and sorrow are truly sincere, are Senator Cul- lom and Congressman Henderson. Gen. Sheridan could hardly speak to any of the family without tears in his eyes. Gen. Beale, Grant’s old and intimate friend, has been on guard ever since the night be- fore Gen. Logan’s death. His presence in the house was in itself a comfort. He is so calm and gentile and full of the sym- athy which expresses itself in acts rather han in words. He is one of the hand- somest of the veterans who make their home in Washington. Heis nearly as * as was Gen. Logan, while his hair and mi es mustache are nearly as white assnow. The afternoon that Gen. Logan died Capt. Duvall of the army paced up and down outside Mrs. Logan’s room for fifteen hours like a sentry on duty. This resolute, polite, rigidly buttoned-up officer stood between the family and many impor- tunate visitorswho came with messages and with condolences, which were too burden- some to be borne by the members of the family in their grief-stricken state. Capt. uv above and Gen. Beale below, maintained an order and a discipline throughout the house, which showed. 2 of discipline and Control. Gen, Beale was always at the right place and at the right time. He said but little, and to the casual visitor did not appear to be more than just a temporary caller, yet through his quietness, patience and knowledge, all of the many burdensome details that come at such trying times, were arranged with such taste that none of the annoyances of detail work came to members of the family. — — — DRAPING THE ROTUNDA. The Public Chamber of Death in Deep Mourning—At the Capital. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcnH. WASHINGTGN, D. C., December 30,.—Last evening about 6 o’clock a force of eigh- teen men begun the draping of the great rotunda of the Capitol, preparatory to the reception of Gen. Logan’s remains. The workmen thisforenoon unrolled great bundles of black muslin and cambric to be used in draping the hall. Long ladders were placed against the walls, leaning aboye the large historical paintings decorating the rotunda, and the heavy black material — in long festoons about the olden frames. While . of he workmen were fixing this dra , two men were busy on the ledge of the first cornice, just below the base relief frieze of the of America. This cornice sixty feet above the floor of the rotunda and the men fastened a wide strip of black muslin to the cornice and then ran it around the entire rotunda. It took ninety yards of the material to stretch around the room. After the work was done, the fifty-feet high half-columns about the walls of the rotunda were hung with black, com- letely hiding the white fluted marble. The effect of these massive black stripes against the white wall was most effective, each of the four portals forming an entrance to the vast rotunda are heavily draped with black. The catafalque will erected in the morning. It will be placed immedi- ately in the center of the rotunda, di- rectly under the dome. It is th same one that was _ first used at the funeral of Abraham Lincoln, and was afterwards used at the funerals of Chief Justice Chase, Charles Sumuer and Presi- dent Garfield.

IN LAKE PARK, A Burialand Monument Site Offered by the City of Chicago. Cu1caGo, December 80.—At a special meeting of the City Council last evening covered in Flames While All on Board Are Sound Asleep—Frantic Efforts to Save the Men—A Number Perish in the flames and Many Are Drowned. MOBILE, Ala., December 30.—News was received here late last night of the burn- ing of the steamer Bradish Johnson, used as a boarding-house at Jackson, on the Bigbee River, eleven miles above Mobile, on Wednesday nighi. There is no telegraph line to that point. The Johnson was lying with her nose in the bank and a gang-plank out. A.C. Jeall, one of the bosses, gave the follow- ing description of the fire: ‘‘I had just gone to bed, when I heard the cry of fire. I fot into my pants, and seized my other effects and rushed out into the cabin. There had been a party of men eut there laying cards and they saw smoke rising. hen I came into the cabin the fire seemed to be the statem-room, aft of the 8 on the 4 side, and the men who had en playing cards, were standing there at the door looking in at the fire. They seemed likethey were dazed, and did not know what to do. They had shouted fire, but there they STOOD STARING AT IT. I hallowed, ‘‘For God's sake, what are you standing therg for? Wake the men up and let us get out of here.” There was an old man, an Alabamian, in the next room to mine. 1 don’t know his name. He was asleep when I went to bed, for I heard him snoring. Whether I got him awake or not I don’t know. hammered and pounded away with all my might. You see the smoke was already filling the cabin, and the men were running around like mad. I hardly knew what happened. Iran forward through the cabin, and my eyes and mouth got so full of smoke that I did not know where 1 was going. The negroes were mostly lounging on the lower deck: They all came running forward about the same time we gotup. The vessel burned very fast, and was a solid mass of flames in a moment. When I reached the bank I turned around and saw the pilot house and texas fallin with the ne s. They fled up the bank in a mob and rushed to the woods, where they hud- dled like sheep and could not be 1 ete tocome down to the boat. They knew that some of their number were LOST IN THE BURNING BOAT, and they were seemingly superstitious aboutit. They did not want to go neaf the place, 80 the boat be- came a mass of flames and burned for about half an bour when she sank. As soon as I got ashore there was a report that there were menin the water. Skiffs were manned and sent to their rescue. They picked ~ Mr. Daly, one of the Carson men, William Neal, an En- glishman, in one of the skiffs, had two negroes right near him, but they sank out of sight. illiam Dowling, the cook, who received slight burns on the face and hands, found a white man in a stateroom dgor. Hillhouse came. up dragged the man supposed be McElroy out on the boiler-deck. The man was un- conscious from the effects of smoke, Just then the flames burst out in the side and Dowling jum over the railing to save is life. Hillhouse, however, said he heard a man 14 just inside the cabin, and be went back to rescue this man. He never came out again, and he was not seen alive after that and it is believed he was sacrificed in the noble attempt to save another’s life. MANY LIVES LOST. There is no telling just how many lost their lives in the fire. Some say that ten others are missing, but all that I know are the two negroes, Lewis Adams and Benjamin Bush, who were drowned and two whites missing. I think two other white men were burned with the boat and there must have been others, for I don’t think they had a chance to be awaken- ed and then escape, for it was all I could do with the smartest kind of running to get out alive. Had the fire broken out one hour later, when all the men would have been in bed, none of us would have escaped. As to the origin of the fire. I know noth- ing. The cook says the boys told him be- fore he went to sleep that the fire in the galley were all out and everythingsafe.’’ THE BOaT. The Bradish Johnson was built in the West for what is called the Louisiana lower coast trade, that is from New Orleans down the of the Mississippi. Capt. J. tone brought her here, and ran her on the Ala- bama and its tributaries for several years, until she was sold at Marshal's sale. The da purchaser was Bapt. H. C. Baldwin who kept her in thesametrade. After his death, Mr. Rittenhouse Moore bought her. Two years ago she was condemned and went out of commission. Shewas not insured and her value was nominal.

Among those present were J. F. How, Solon Humphreys, Thomas E. Tutt, Gen. F. H. Hubbard, A. A.Talmage, Wells H. Blodgett, E. T. Allen, John Phillips, H. L. Priest, Wm. Carr, J. H. Dickson, Hiram Grover, F. N. Judson, D. H. Shields, J. W. Noble. Newton Crane, Henry Kent, Jos. Taussig. J. D. McKeighan, W. H. Lee, E. W. Pattison and Jos. F. Joy. JUDGE BREWER, without any preliminary wait, opened on the subject, and as he has always been conservative in his expression, though al- ways firm, he exceeded expectation in the sensationalism of his position on Judge Gresham’s order. He said: During the last two days we have re- ecived a petition from the receivers of this court, reporting to us the action taken by the Circuit Court of the Seventh Circuit and asking instructions from this court as to their on. We have also received the application of the Purchas Com- mittee, with their suggestions in the form of an order which they desire.’’ The application contained a review of action of the Purchasing Committee 8 in the IIIi⸗- orthern and tricts, and closed with the yer; ore your petitioners pray that Court will direct that all the prop- urchased as by them aforesaid over and delivered to them, and this Court will prescribe the in * ye with which your petitioners ay reeeive possession of said perty, and will fix the time within which your tioners may exercise a discretion to receive possession under the terms of their said contract and M with such orders as this Court and the Courts having make. 4 this erty that may be pardoned,” continued Judge Brewer, I prelimi to a formal state- ment ot the orders that will be entered refer to some matters in the history of is litiglation. The Wabash road was a system of railroad running through several States and the jurisdiction of sey- eral courts. One general mortgage covered the rty and there were ad be- dome a part ot the Wabash system. Fore- closure were begun in this court as the court of primary ris- diction, and receivers were appointed 2 court. Of the propriety e foreclosure proceeding in one court — on the entire Rees running ugh several States, the validity of the sale under such proceeding and the cqm- pleteness of a title under such sale there dan now be no doubt. In Miller vs. Dowes, 4 g., p- 444, this question was fully dis- n the earl history of this foreclosure — 1 — s necessary that nee ys foreclosure proccess e conducted in the one circuit, but, 28 all question of title, ancillary proceed - ings should be oonducted in co pointed in the court of primary juris- diction to be also a pointed’ by the enh of ancillary jurisdioti That was the ——— this case. 1 umphrey and Tut were two — half years appoin receivers y this Court.

We are well aware that in the management of so vast a property some time must be taken inthe arrangement of details, and whereas as et there has been no order entered by is court as to the time when the purchas- ers shall pay these obligations and take the property we think time enough has been given for the rfection of the reor- ization, and the time is now come when e Court shall demand the payment of these obligations or the giving of the ap- proved security and the taking of the property by the purchasers. Wit these preliminary remarks I shall read some ORDERS THAT HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED to us. 1. The receivers will relinquish all the roads east of the Mississippi Receiver Cooley, appointed to have charge of them under the order of Seventh Circuit Court. We understand there are lines east of the Mississippi that are not within the terms ofthat order—roads that begin nowhere and end nowhere, It also appears from the receivers report that every one of such roads, with one exception, I think, have been operated at a loss, It would be folly for these receivers then, having no con- trolof the main lines, to continue the operation of these branches and incur still further losses. So the order will be that they will cease to operate all lines east of the Mississippi whose earn- ings shall be less than expenses unless within thirty days they are given a guar- — against loss in the operation of such lines. Further they will deliver to Keceiver Cooley all books of account of such roads.

CRUSHED UNDER THE WHEELS, 4 Young Italian Girl Killed by an Elevated Railroad Train. New Yorke, December %,.—A young Italian girl was killed to-day by falling in front of a Third avenue elevated train. Her name was Peppine Latorre, aged 18 years. The accident occurred at the Dighty-ninth street station. The girl, with a sister, worked in a tailor shop in Houston The sister is named Celestini, 15 years of age. Both were very lively, and well known to the train men from their daily train trips to work. The two girls were waiting for a train, and were chatting merrily as a train came a Celestini made a remark and Pep- , turning suddenly to reply, lost her balance, sli over the side of the plat- form and fell backward across the down The engine was but fifteen feet away. ey mye? Merrill did not see her but heard her wild scream and reversed his engine with a desperate jerk, Screams of terror and anguish came from the sister and allwho saw. it. Several ran to aid the hapless girl, but too late, no human power could help her. The poor girl struggled pitifully on the ice- covered boa making a desperate at- tempt to arise. She raised her hands be- seechingly towards the, horror-stricken spectators. The hands were the next mo- ment beaten down by the locomotive, and her groans were faintly heard as the iron wheels mercilessly crushed out her life. The engine stopped when the front wheels and the forward driv- ing wheels had passed clear over her body. The girl’s head was almost crushed toa jelly, protruded on one side, and a artof her dress on the other side of the rack. Wedged in between the driving- wheels the body could not be recovered without raising the engine. A telegram was sent to the repair yards and a wreck- ing train was sent down with jack-screws. After halt an hour’s work the engine was raised enough to draw out the body. The track, in the mean time, was black with trains for over two miles to the terminus. Enormous crowds collected at the station and choked the platform, stopping all work. The police cleared the station. When the body was taken out it was found that the neck was nearly severed, one leg broken, andthe body ripped open. The remains were — to a police station. No blame is attached to the company, as the tracks were coated with ice, causing the wheels to slip. BEFORE JUDGE NOONAN, A Number of Important Cases Disposed of This Morning.

Probability that Churchill Will Return to His Position — Chamberlain’s Attitude — Re- ported Alliance Between Russia and Germany—The Elections in Canada—For- eign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, December 80.—It appears cer- tain that Salisbury will remain Prime Minister. Taking all circumstances into account the most probable outcome will be Churchill’s return to the Ministry on some basis of action, which will practi- cally be a triumph for himself. Chamber- lain’s attitude is entirely uncertain, many conflicting rumors being in circulation. Iam able to add a few particulars. The budget upon which Randolph resigned was bold and comprehensive. Churchill worked at it with greater energy than any chancellor since Gladstone. He has made the lives of the Treasury officials a burden for some time past. The central feat- ure of the proposed budget was his flat refusal to stop an anticipated deficit of three million pounds by the old expedient of adding two pence to the in- come tax. The revenue returns show that, although there are signs of return- ing prosperity, the exchequer receipts will show A DEFICIT OF AT LEAST £2,000,000. Churchill first determined that he would cut down the two great spending depart- ments. Owing to the increase of ship- building forthe navy, and because the War Department had been drained of guns and ammunition, a large supple- mentary vote would be necessary to refill the magazines. This vote Churchill pro- posed to reduceſby £750,000 by stopping the defense ports and coaling stations. He proposed save £400,000 altogether in the dock and navy estimates, and pro- posed to furthef reduce the duties on tea and tobacco, aid reduce the income tax by a penny, d levy a considerable number of new es, the details of which are a profound fecret. Salisbury opposed this budget frém the first. Churchill saw his posion hopeless and re- signed. I may add that he sald privately t a friend that he would have resigned in any case, finding himself so much at loggerheads with old Toryism, taking an oceasion for resignation from a department with which he happened to be connected. The Tory.rank and file are gradually rallying round Churchill. Should anybody but Salisbury be pro- posed for Prime Minister Churchill would find himself at the head of the majority of the Conservative party. England. CHAMBERLAIN'’S DENTAL. LONDON, December 30.—Mr. Parnell has returned to the seaside without having in- timated when he will visit Dublin. The Chronicle says that Mr. Chamber- lain emphatically denies the report that he is in favor of Lord Hartington joining the Cabinet. LIBERAL BANQUETS. Banquets were given by Liberals throughout the country last night in honor of Mr. Gladstone’s birthday. Mr. Gladstone returns thanks through the pros for the many congretulations which e has received, to which he says it is im- possible for him to reply personally. ANOTHER DIVORCE SCANDAL.

THE UNITED STATES BOARD OF ENGINEERS SAY ST. LOUIS NEEDS ONE — — Hearing of Arguments for a Draw and Against It—The Merchants and River Men Differ Only on That Point-The Estimates of Its Cost—Testimony Before the Com- misaion—The Hearing Finished. At 10 o’clock this morning, the time to which the Board of Engineers appointed by the War Department in the matter of nearing the argu- ments pro and con for a new bridge ad- journed yesterday,there were present only the members of the Commission. They occupied the time in reading the minutes of preceding day’s business. About 10:15 the gentlemen interested in the matter began to arrive. The right of Maj. Miller’s office, which side has been tacitly allotted to the opposition, held Capt. Stout of the Knapp, Stout Lumber Com- pany, Captains H. ©. Haarstick, W. R. Slocumb, P. Kerns, Rogers and others. Capt. Isaac Moson came later and joined the fraternity. The nucleus of the liberals, who occupied the left, was Capt. Wm. G. Clark, the first to arrive, Capt, Schulenburg sat with the left. At 10:30 Mayor Francis arrived with a retinue, in which were Col., Flad, Commissioner ef Public Improve- ments; Maj. Rainwater, E. F. Kelly, & W. Cobb, Alex Smith, F. O. Stanard, Phil Shir- mer, Grif, Prather, R. C. Simmons, L. W. Buschmann, and others.’ In opening the meeting Col. Abbott said that Col. Flad had been Invited to be present to give certain information. COOL. FLAD said that he had made boring for rock when locating the new Water - works and thought the depth at which rock could be found would vary from 80 to 120 teet. In 228 of the cost he said that the difference in cost in piers for the high and low bridge would be vere little, as even in bullamg a low bridge it was in his opinion advisabie to have long spans and few pliers rather than short spans and many plers. This would require the piers to have rock founda- tion any way. The difference in cost would, therefore, be in the height of the masonry above the water and the expense of aprproach to overcome the grade. The difference in the cost of the approach would be about $150,000 for each side. The hfgh bridge on the other hand would save the cost of the w. In short the expense of the high bridge would exceed the costof the low one about 10 cent. From hia investigation he decidedly thought that a high bridge was the preferable, even from the atangpotnt of the interest of the projectors. Inthe rough estimate made by him for the cost of hich bridge, with three 500-foot spans, he placed it at about $1,270,000, and it wens go to one million and a halt. In another estimate intended to cover the cost ayn he had placed the cost of the high bridge at $2,000,000 and the low one at 51, 800,000. This amount he felt could be reduced perhaps one-third. The bridge figured upon was to have a doubie track. An estimate for a two-span bridge ot 762 foot spans had been placed at $2,200,000. These estimates were rough. He had submitted his estimates to two competent engineers; one had thought the coat was covered, the other believed it would exceed the figures 20 per cent. In answer to questions hy Cops, Ruffner of the board, Col, Flad said that éngineering had progressed since the present bridge was ese and bridge building was considerably cheaper, In the matter of connecting Mill Creek Valley with the bridge Col. Flad said the dif- ference in cost between the two bridges would be very light. The high bridge would come out about on the level of the Wabash tracks on this side. Col. Fladd was questioned by Mayor Francis and said that he thought the comniercial in- terests of St. Louis needed another bridge. He thought the differencein the height of the two bridges proposed would be forty feet. Quite an interesting bit of cross-examination occurred between the Mayor as interrogator and Col. Fladd as wit- ness; the Mayor endeavoring to show that the cost of transportation was much greater, because of the grade to be overcome in reaching the high bridge, and Col. Fladd contending that while there wasa theoretical difference in the cost there was practically none, as an engine that could pull a train on any road coming into St. Louis could also overcome the grade of a high ge which would only be filty-two feet to @ mile, MAJ. RAINWATER endeavored to show by questioning Col. Fladd that estimates some times mis because the colonel had been one of the e resent bridge, the estimate had been three millions, while the ac- tual cost was about. six millions in money. Col. Fiadd explained this difference. In discussing the Colonel’s post- tion the gentiemen gathered about a table on which was 4 a large map of the river, and a general talk eusued in which Messrs. Clark, Francis, Rainwater, Fladd and the members of the board cipated. Major Rainwater read and submitted a letter from Col. E. L. Cortheil, an engineer, stating that the cost ofa low bridge would be $1,500, - 000, and that a high bridge would cost fully 60 per cent more. At the conclusion of Ool.

Little *‘Sis” Varley, the girl who was 60 badly burned Tuesday evening at Robert H. Carr’s stable, in the rear of No. 3130 Lucas avenue, was reported to be in an éxtremely precarious condition at the City Hospital this morning and no hopes are entertained of her -recdv- ery. At her request a priest was sent for to prepare her for death. Henry Marshall, the negro coachman who figured in the case, was arrested yes- terday afternoon and taken to the City Hospital to be identified by the girl, from whom the police also hoped to obtain a full statement that would show that he had attempted a criminal assaulton her. She, however, refused to talk. Since yesterday morning Lena Stumpf, her partner, has altered her story somewhat, and from what she now says, it would appear that the negro is —— for the child’s death, if her injuries result fatally as now seems in- evitable. The Stumpf girl says that Marshall had OFFERED HER A DOLLAR for ev young girl she would bring to him at the stable, and that it was to get this money that she brought Laura Belle Varley there. After they had been up- stairs some time, the negro “gave her the wink,” as she expresses it, and she left, going down stairs under pretext of getting her shawl. Soon she heard a chair moved upstairs, and other noise followed. She heard ‘‘Sis’’ out in 2 and heard a souffle, and then saw er coming down stairs, her clothing Marshall was after her endeav- oring to bher. The Stumpf girl says he would not allow her to go outside the stable after her companion, as he said he did not want to let the people know she had caught fire in there. This version of the affair accounts for Marshall’s hands being burned. He de- nied having been near the girl or stove at the time, but his burned hands contra- dicted this story. The officers sa that when they had _ extinguish the clothing of the little girl, she kept crying for a dollar which she claimed to have lost. This carries out the Stumpf girl’s story about Marshall offer- ing money to her for young girls she would bring to him. It also indicates that the assault was not forcible at first, but was agreed to by her. Officer Nace claims **Sis” told him then that while she was scuffling to get away from the negro he SHOVED HER AGAINST THE STOVE and set fire to her clothing, but she would not admit afterward that he was in the room with her at all at the time, but claimed he was with the Stumpf girl down stairs. The girl’s mother thinks the child’s clothing was set on fire in a scuffle in which the negro was attempting to assault her, butshe is unable to obtain any ad- mission of the kind from her daughter. MARSHALL denies having been up-stairs at all when the girl’s clothing caught fire, and says he never had cone f mproper relations with her. He admits having been intimate with the Stumpf girl for a long time, and says they had gone down stairs just be- fore. e has a bad record. and about four years ago Detective Frese sent him to the penitentiary for two years for stealing from the Simmons Hardware Company, where he was employed as a porter. The officers say that while the girls were being taken tothe station they told dif- ferent stories of the affair, each claiming that the other was with the negro at the time of the accident. They kept calling each other liars, and furnished quite a scene. Atthe dispensary the little girl used the foulest language, notwithstand- ing her awful conditiou. A WARRANT for attempted criminal assault was issued in the case this morning, in which Mar- shall is made the principal and Lena Stumpf alias Hull accessary in the of- fense. As soon as the girl dies the charge will be changed to manslaughter. ablaze. CONSULTING CARPENTERS, Conference of Bosses and Journeymen To- Day. Acting on aninvitation from the jour- neyman carpenters the master build- ers met them in conference to- day at Central Turner Hall. The conference was for the purpose of arranging a scale of wages and hours for the coming year. There are inthe city about two thousand carpenters. Of these fifteen hundred are in unions. During the busy season not more than 1,800 get work. Up to last year ten hours a day was the rule, but at the beginning of the last season the nters made a kick for eight hours with eight hours pay. This was partially conceded, but the relations between 3 and employed were so strained that frequent wrangles took place. The n was to so arrange matters that differences would not occur next season. The journeymen’s idea is not to get ten hours ay for eight hours work, but, by lessen- ing the number of hours, to give work to the carpenters in the city. NO DECISION REACHED. In St. Louis there are between 300 and 400 boss carpenters. They are as anxious as the journeymen to get things fixed right. e latter say that a majority of the big bosses favor the eight- hour plan, and thata few of the smaller employers are the only ones creating the opposition. About a dozen of the bosses met the journeymen’s committee to-day. Riecher, August Fick, William Klute, William Kerksick and Mr. Winn. The entire ground was gone over in a sortofinformal way. The journeymen’s demands, as set forth, were for eight hours and 30 cents an hour as the lowest limit. A good feeling characterized the conference, but hothing definite was de- cided on, as the bosses were not 1 k final tement Builders’ Association. the meeting was that another conference will be held in a few days, the date to be determined after the committee’s report on to-day’s CLUVERIUS APPEAL.

During the year 1886 there have been 2,641 new suits filed in the Cirouit Court. In the preceding year there were 3,359 suits brought, showing a falling off of 718 cases. Thisisa marked decline in litiga- tion, and lawyers are unable to aoc- count for it. For six years there has been a steady decline in enumber of suits en under the dome, but the record of the year now clos- — 14 the smallest number of cases entered for trial for ten years past. The outlook is not encouraging to the youn members of the bar although the ranks are recruited at every term of the court. the past four years, however, several of the younger have moved west- ward, establishing themselves in ctice in the new towns of Colorado and other States. The old firms retain the cream of the business at home, 14 5 commer- cial practice, and there is little left for the others save the field of divorce, and that has ceased to be profitable.

Mayor Joyce and the Councilmen Denounce Each A General Fist-Shaking Scene A Daring Robbery—News Notes. The City Council met this morning in regular session, Aldermen Shea, Mengus, Bird, Stack and Cunningham being pres- ent and Mayor Joyce presiding. Alder- man Stack presented a resolution that the ordinance entitled an ‘‘ordinance in rela- tion to the City Treasurer” be promulgated, inasmuch as the Mayor had failed to re- turn it within the specified time, with or without his signature. Mayor Joyce said that for the Council to take such ac- tion by a resolution would be illegal, and contended that it must be done by ordi- nance. As there were only five members of the Council present, and as it requires six Aldermen to pass an ordinance over a veto, if the Mayor was right in his views, no action could have been taken, but City Treasurer Flannigen, who acts also as an attorney for the dit informed the Council that to pass the — olution would be all that was necessary. This was done. * Joyce was indig- nant, and deliv a most vituperative ngue. He swore that he would not deliver up the ordinance, that he would ign, the matter up in the courts. e ordinance over which all the fuss occurred is an ordinance giving to the Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means the power to sign warrants. This of course is an infringe- ment on the Mayor’s authority, and ac- counts for his violent indignation at the meeting this morning. The Mayor claims that the Council has no right to delegate the power of signing warrants to the Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, and he says he is determined to inaugurate a prosecution against the members of the Council for their action. After an adjournment had been taken this agin # Mayor Joyce, who was greatly excited, approached Alderman Shea, pointing his his face, said that tended to make the members of the Council suffer for what they had done. Mr. Shea shook his fist in his Honor’s face and defied him to do anything. THE BREWERY ACCIDENT. The remains of John Turner, one of the men killedin the Heim’s Brewery acci- dent, were shipped to Cincinnati last evening. The funeral of John Keifer, another victim, took place this afternoon, the remains being interred in St. Henfy’s Cemetery. The inquest was continued to-day. A DARING ROBBERY. Late last night an old German who gave his name as William Schulz and said he came here from Michigan City, Ind., ap- —— at the police station with a badly ruised head and several cuts in his face, He informed the night turnkey that he had been assaulted and robbed on the island. His story was to the effect that he was oe the Vandalia sand-house when three or four men on the inside called to him and asked him where he was going. He told them he was going to St. Louis, They said there was no use of him crossing the bridge at that late hour and that he might as well come into the sand-house and bunk there for the night. He accepted the invitation and went in. No sooner had the door been closed behind him than two or three of them seized hold of him, threw him in a corner, and breaking open his valise took everything in it. They were disappointed in finding no money, and two of them kicked and cuffed him. He oried for help, and one of the thugs then drow a knife and threatened to run it through him if he did not keep his mouth shut. They then put him out, and he came up to the 3 and informed the officer n hi and charge of what had befallen m. o officers were sent down to the sand - house and were ust in time to arrest a fellow who was eaving it. He gave his name as Tom Hennessy, and Schulz positively identifies him as one of the men who assaulted and robbed him. The others who partici in the outrage had left before the officer’s arrival. They all are supposed to be tramps who had taken refuge in the sand- house from the cold, WATER FAMINE THEEATENED, Mayor Francis Asks Water Consumers te Go Very Slow. Owing to the rapid depletion of the city water supply Mayor Francis this morning called Water Commissioner Whitman and Col.

This quantity is ample for all pur- ses of legitimate use. On Monday, the 27th st. there were 46,000, gallons of water in the Compton Hill reservoir. This mornin there were 25,000,000. In three days 21,000,00 allons of water in excess of the supply ave been expended. During the four days preceding the 27th inst. a gain of 9, 000,000 gallons above the consumption was made with the same pumping machinery in The increased consumption now doubtedly in a large mea- sure to the practice of allowing the service- ipes to flow to prevent freezing.

John L. Sullivan’s Idea of What Constitutes From the Sacramento Bee. In answer to the question, What are the essentials of a thoroughly good fight- er?” Sullivan said: „Pluck, skill, endurance and a good head on his shoulders,” said the gladiator. I tell you, sir. a man fights with his head almost as much ashe does with his fist. He must know where to send his blows so they may do the most economize his strength and not score a just for the sake of scoring it.’’ »What portions of your antagonist’s ie you aim at when you are in the “T endeavor,” said Sullivan, to hit my man above the heart, or under or behind the ear. A man wears ou pretty soon if one can k hammering away in the region of the heart; a blow under the chin or behind the ear will knock out a man — than a hundred blows on the cheek or ang See portion of the face.

This may be true, but it seems as- » ®Sured that a Western man will not be nominated. The wayfaring man can see _ “that the Barve boom is on top with every _ prospect of staying there.

The importance | of having the office of the United States District-Attorney filled by some man not under thecontrol of any ring of Federal officials was demonstrated by the old Whisky Ring revelations. ö The present political chief of the St. Louis Custom-house officials was not wholly unconnected with the indicted members of that old Republican Whisky Ring himself. He qualified as bondsman for one of the accused for a large amount of money, which money he did not pay to the Government, although the bond was forfeited. The Democratic Congressman of his own district has accused him of evading his just liability by a fraudulent transfer of his property, and he has never sued that Congressman for slander. With a political chief at the Custom- house whose record and reputation in St. Louis is not such as to make public confi- dence in him entirely serene, the peo- ple would rather not see the office of: United States District-Attorney subjected to his influence or con- trol. They would rather see him stand in some awe of the power of an honest and fearless Distriot-Attorney who is not making that position a stepping- stone to the Governorship, or any other office. They do not want a District-At- torney in league for any purpose with the ballot-box-stuffing rings of this city. It was felt years ago that a District-At- torney of opposite politics to the other Federal officials might have saved the public much money and prevented much scandal. We want a better state of affairs under Democratic administration, and therefore we want a District- Attorney who will do his duty untrammeled by any political associations or aspirations what- ever. If de is to be a Democrat he will find that a Republican assistant or two will help to clear his office of the suspicion that he is to run it on partisan principles. — . — —ä—ä4ñ4õ TENNYSON AND GLADSTONE. Mr. GLADSTONE contributes an article to the Nineteenth Century, in which he com- bats the material statements of TEeNny- 80N’S latest addition to Locksley Hall,“ besides protesting against the pessimistic tone of the Laureate’s production. The article presents a succinct review of the progress and’ achievements of England during the last fifty years, and even the statistical showing is a powerful rejoinder to the cry of despair lately voiced in sor- rowful verse. It is interesting to studiously compare the lives and work of these two great Englishmen. Itistrue that the mature life of one has been largely spent in the arena of political strife, and the life ofthe other chiefly in studious seclusion; but each has been a thorough philosophical student; each has pursued the study of man into metaphysical and spiritual re- gions, and to the mind of each life and destiny are themes of the pro- foundest interest. They have both achieved the highest success, each in his own field of endeavor; both have enjoyed sufficient worldly pos- sessions and the fullest measure of domes- tic happiness, Two lives, with so many points of similitude, ought to lead alike to a serene, cheerful and hopeful old age. Then, why is it that we find in one the genial sage of hopeful utterance, and in the other the tottering evangel of despair? Perhaps no man can answer, but it may be well to note a glaring variance in the lives of these illustrious men. The muse of TENNYSON in his vigorous years was the eloquent voice of restless doubt and spiritual inquiry that found its best and noblest expression in In Memoriam.’’ But while he groped in the mist of doubt and uncertainty, his buoy- ant manhood and poetic enthusiasm gave the coloring of hope to his songs of spiritual questioning and ied him to socept on trust what could not be understood, and to draw a sufficient hope from the unseen and un- comprehended. But such a conclusion, drawn from the lastanalysis of things, ap- pears to be insufficient amidst the lessened enjoyments and thickening perplexities of extreme old age. The oid songs are resung with gloom and despondency, while the doubting hope of manhood has become the doubting despair of age. Mr. GLaDsTone has cherished through life a distinct, formulated and buoyant faith, to which the gathering years have given naught but strength and confirma- tion, The convictions of his youthful | manhood, purged of such errors as found expression in his Church and State,“ s| abide with him to-day, It is not our pur- pose to make the contention that Grap- ro n — 1 * * r ’ 7 e * 4 * „ oh K j * eS. ae as 2 1 7 * ~ * * with the history of the long hst of other express robberies that have brought the perpetrators to grief in spite of the most ingenious and apparently perfect plans of concealment, does not seem to have any deterrent effect. The fate of the RENOS, of the James gang, of the Union Pacific express robbers and even the fresh case of Prentice Trum here in St. Louis, must have been familiar stories to the men who entered into this latest express robbery on the San Franciscoroad. — It is generally the case when one rogue is caught that all the other rogues think they can see clearly how they could and would have escaped with the money if they had been in his place. Doubtless all the men in this country who are conscious that they could not resist an opportunity to nab! $80,000 in nice portable packages, are now disgusted with the stupidities that led to the capture of WrrTrROck and his companions, and are thinking of hun- dreds of ways in which they would have escaped if they had been in his place. They do not realize the fact that getting the plunder isinfinitely easier than get- ting away with it in safety, and that itis an utter impossibility to long conceal the acquisition of a large amount of money by a previously poor man. Unwonted liber- alities to his friends and even his love for his mother will betray him. Every ad- ditional accomplice, either in the crime or In the attempts at concealment and es- cape, multiplies in geometrical proportion the leaks and chances of discovery and punishment. The preventive effect of punishment in theecase of such large robberies is lost upon most of the criminal classes, because the opportunities for committing them are too rare to keep criminal minds impressed with the utter impossibility of committing such heavy robberies with impunity. —ͤ—ñ—ÿä—— — —— e —äẽ Wurm Senator Vest told the inter- viewer of the New York Mail and Express that the people of Missouri look upon President CLEVELAND as a second Jack- sOn’’ and would be solid for him in 1888, he felt bound to add that they do not indorse his money policy as they did JAackson’s nor his civil- service notions either. He might have gone further and added that the people are by no means as well satisfied with some ofthe President’s appointments as Senator Vest himself is. If he would Hip out’? the present political chief of the Custom-house, for instance, Senator VEST would be less eager to pledge Mis- souri’s support to CLEVELAND in 1888, but it would make the people far more en- thusiastic for him than they now show any symptom of being. Mr. NATHAN FRANK seems to be en- countering the fate of the historic per- sonage who went after wool and was shorn. Mr. Grovrn's answer to Mr. FRANK’sS petition of contest puts the weight of presumption againstthe de- feated candidate. It is known that Mr. FRANK spent a small fortune in the elec- tion; and it is also known that the most corrupt elements of the local Democracy gave him their strenuous support. With such a prima facie showing, the unbiased public will for the present incline to the belief that an accurate recount of the lawful votes cast would materially in- crease the majority of the Democratic candidate; while a thorough investigation of all the fraud committed might inter- fere with Mr. FRANK’s peace of mind. — — — — LorRD IDDESLEIGH has given the Bul- garian delegation an unofficial reception. It is not probable these weary pilgrims will be more successful than they have been on the Continentin obtaining from England assurances of friendship or pledges of support. Europe asa whole is certainly friendly to Bulgaria, but that little country has the misfortune to lie in the track of the storm-cloud that threatens to break at any moment, and the great powers tacitly recognize that it would be almost useless to guarantee the integrity of the little Balkan States when events constantly impend that may efface them from the map of Europe. — =. ae PROVINCIALISM can flourish in a metroplis like a terrapin in its shell.

From the New York Wor.p. A Western paper says that one of its sub- scribers ‘‘Thanksgaye’’ at home. Shades of Noah Webster, what a word! It u on a par with another provincialism which sometimes shocks the nerveg in such a sentence as the following: ‘‘James X-—— and his brother Sundayed in town.’’ The list of these vaga- bond verbs might be indefinitely extended, but the above will suffice. It seems to be a characteristic of our people to take the shortest road to the goal of their desires. The process of turning nouns into verbs is one of the most effective methods of making one word serve the purpose ot two or three. But is elegance to be sacrificed for so petty an object? It is an undoubted fact that the English language fs the most flexible now spoken, but there isa point beyond which philological liberties become vulgarities. Let the noun-disturbing journalists of America ponder deeply on this truth, and there may come a time when we shall hear no more of the men who ‘‘Thanksgave’’ or ‘‘Sundayed.’’ Lively and Newsy.

NEW YORK, December 30,—The WORLD Says: It is neither exact nor fair to describe an in- come tax as a fine for what a man makes. The more money a man makes, as the phrase is, the greater is the amount of protection he requires and receives from society. It is not right, and cannot be made to seem right, that a man who enjoys an Income of $10,000 or $50, - 000 a year should pay no more indirect taxa- tion, if he chooses to spend the amount or to invest in non-taxable property, than does the man who earns only $500 or $1,000 a year. An income tax is not a ‘fine.’ It is simply a tithing of prosperity, a return for protection, which society should exact and every man be willing to pay.’’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘Mr. Powderly seems to have aroused a vigorous opposition to him- self on the part of the socialists. This ought to increase the respect for him and his honest workmen. One thing is certain, that no labor organization which allows itself to be ruled by socialists and anarchists cau have the con- fidence of any large number of persons ta this country. The soll is not favorable to the dis- semination of socialistic ideas and Mr. Pow- — nas the good sense to appreciate the THE SUN. The Sun says: ‘‘Everybody must have been struck by the frequency of cases of clerica) immorality within recent years. They have occurred in all parts of the Union and among the ministers of nearly every religious denom- ination, the number reported New York newspapers comprising only a portion of the whole, as any one who keeps track of Amer- ican journals can testify. There seems to be no doubt that there has been a decided increase in such misconduct, and it has taken place during ‘the last ten years. We observe, too, that there isa very remarkable similarity between the cases, more especially so far as concerns the behavior of the clergymen under the disgracefal charges made against them. THE TIMES. The Times says: For our part we regard the division of the colored vote as altogether desirable for the sake of the colored race, and forthe benefit of the litics of the country. It is the only means of completely obliterating the color line from politics, and is promoting the division of the white vote of the South on the lines of principle and —ů * But it is not desirable, that the Republican party should promote that end by falsifying its own record and its own principles.

The mettle of Miss Coghlan was tried in the crucible of Shakspeare last evening and Rosalind was the special test. Itis always a severe one and is a standard by which an actress is measured in comedy, The coquetry, the quick changing moods, the assumption of a boy’s character, dress and bearing, the half-concealed, half- discovered love, the coy but clever lead- ing on of Orlando and the thousand charming qualities that the genius of Shakspeare has put into his loveliest of women require the highest attributes of bright and beautiful. womanhood and the perfection of art. With those who know Miss Coghlan’s ability there could be little doubt that she would stand the test with credit, even with undoubted success, but they were. hardly prepared for the brilliant triumph she achieved. It was a triumph of the woman and her art, with no artifice, no extraneous circumstances to aid her. The subtle and exquisite quality of her art linked with the grace and beauty of the artiste 22 the house like a per- fumed atmosphere blown from a bank of flowers, filled taste. sense and soul and captivated heart and mind. ere is the beautiful Rosalind of Mary Anderson with a certain coy and naive charm which is inseperable from the t- ty woman in a * Fae but without subtlety or depth of feeling or expression, a sort of celery salad served on ice; there is the poetic, airy, arch, delicate Rosalin of Modjeska, a pate of elf and maiden smothered in accent; there are others of varying qualities and beauties, but none more captivating than that of Miss Cogh- lan. She was sweet and indescribably winning. Hers isahuman Rosalind with all the attributes of fascinating maidenhood. In the first act she was a bright, m modest girl rather free with her wit, full of the sparkle, the airy ce and light humor of youth and yet with a reserve of tender womanliness. Withoutas much coyness as is sometimes given her, but simply an unconsciously charming woman. Her soft heart was touched to sadness by the sorrows of the bereaved father and her slumber- ing sentiment was awakened by the gallant bearing of the melancholy Orlando. The expression of the first touch of love strug- gling for mastery with maiden modesty was — pictured in coy glances, arch challenges, pretty shrinking ways and yet pointed inventions which the instinct and artless impulse of girlhood prompts. It was an artistic beginning and captured the audience. It was only the beginning, the introduo- tion to a wealth of exquisite acting which developed in the forest scenes. From the moment that the transformed Rosalind in drab doublet and hose tripped on the stage with conscious bravado and mincin — shrinking at the thought o meeting a man in such guise, to the drop of the curtain there was not a moment of Rosalind’s presence which was not full of rare comedy and genuine ment. There was the ele- ment of the unexpected, of the impulsive, |. of the spontaneous which was delightful. Her merriment, her coquettishness, her mannish assumptions which were touched always with feminine ways and were con- trasted with some fu! sh trick fairly sparkled, flashed an ee in endless variety of artiess but artful expression. It was bubbling fun, full of the sug- gestion of innocent glee, and yet tinged with the tenderness of a love-stricken girl which was voiced in softening eyes, ca- ressing hand, heaving bosom an par by soft, expressive sighs. Eye, mouth, hand and limbwere alive with — mw enh action, and added pith and point to the lines, read with fine intelli- gence. There seemed an infinity of invention in voicing he moods and way of Rosalind, but the Beculiar charm of the actress was a certain gehuine quality which pictured a rollicking and coquettish, but true and tender woman. There was a lovableness, an entrancing invitation to woo in the wo es which was irresistibly warm and attractive, and had a thrill of passion that would tempt an anchorite.

Father | has MoGlynn was silent and by his wish his friends were silent too. Yesterday an authoritative statement of Father MoGlynn’s life and the church history was given to the PostT-DisPaTCH corre- spondent by a man than whom none knows Father MoGlynn better. Its sub- stance was submitted to Father McGlynn yesterday afternoon and he said: ‘‘Itis substantially true and correct.” The public have been surprised at your remaining silent so long,” said the reporter. am trying to play a very simple and easy part,” he said. ‘‘I am playing the part of the corpse. I have nothing to do but to lie still. A proper and self-respect- ing corpse will not insist upon baving too much to say about his own funeral. It is my conviction that one cannot, with any- thing like elegance, at one and the same time be corpse and undertaker.” „Will you not say anything further? That sounds like a parable.” No, I do not wish to enter into any dis- cussion.’’ This is not the first time that some priest of the diocese of New. Tork found fault with Father McGlynn for doing what he considered to be the best for the church“ said Father McGlynn’s friend. Allu- sionhas been made to some difficulties that existed ten and more years ago, but the true story has not been given. While the Vatican Council was sitting at Rome from the fall of 1869 to the summer of 1870, a petition signed by fifty-four pricsts of the diocese of New York was sent ot Archbishop McCloskey who was then at the council, calling his attention to the attitude of Dr. McGlynn on the QUESTION OF PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS. From the beginning of his ministry Dr. MoGlynn was impressed with the great need of more churches and more priests to supply the wants of the growing popu- lation of New York. Heurged the neces- sity of this out of season with a good deal of earnestness. His line of utterances in this sense gave offense to“ many clergy- men, and on the holding of the Vatican Council they called a meeting and adopted a remonstrance to be sent to Archbishop McCloskey. It was leveled at Dr. McGlynn’s views. and as stated in MoMasters’ Freeman’s Journal, the remonstrance was adopted at a meeting in the House of St. Mary's, where the late Edward O’Reilly was pastor. Dr. Preston the present monsignor, presided. Most of the signers to the remonstrance are dead now. Nothing much ever came of it, as Archbishop McCloskey was very averse to arow. The Catholic school question at the time Dr. McGlynn made his timely utterance was largely involved in the question of obtaining an ee from the State and city in aid of these schools. The Tweed ring, for the sake of cto oy Be sy was supposed to be very favorable to the plan. e -bitter- ness excited by that contest is still fresh in the minds of the ople. It called forth the cleverest and bitterest of Nast’s cartoons in Harper’s Weekly. It was the knowledge of this state of s and the fear of the harm it might do to the church, thatinduced Dr. McGlynn to overcome his reluctance and to express some mild dissent from the policy of those priests who he thought were doing what was in- jurious tothe church. Allusion has been made recently to a private session of the semi-annual conference, yearsago, in the old Cathedral school-house, pre- sided over by Archbishop McCloskey. Dr. McGlynn was appointed to discuss the school question. e then delivered a very frank and earnest discourse, making no concealment of his views of the para- mount importance of doing an apostollio rather than a pedegogic work,of building churches, educating priests, administer- the sacrament, caring for the poor, and making the best of the public schools rather than to sacrifice these great things and to entail on the pears the expense of parochial schools. At the conference Dr. McGlynn made a speech in which he said that he had never hate ree required by oper and compe- t ecclesiastical authori M to build paro- chial schools, and that he hoped he would not so commanded, But if the day should come when he should be com- manded to do so, he hoped HE WOULD HAVE GRACE TO OBEY, although, then, he still might have the legitimate alternative of asking a still higher r to send him to China or Ja , OF any other place where he might still confine himself to preaching the gospel and to doing the work of the Church without becoming a pedagogue. this speech that has been distorted after these 9 ae an assault or insult to Archbishop McCloskey, for whom no one a more reverential respect than Dr. 1 Archbishop o- Closkey received the onstrances of Dr. ton and those over whom he presided and pacified them.

He used Christ-like in the sense of God-like. Surely that is proper. The — . speak of men as godly, and they exhort us to ead godly lives. George is a man who leads a god! life, and he is a God-like man, an amble C of the gospel. In that sense, and the only one in which it could be en by a man who heard Dr. McGlynn’s Chickering Hall speech, Dr. McGlynn was right. The Davitt meeting was the first ublio ex made by Dr. M n of his lief — George's es theories, He has not changed his beliefs since, and he is not changing them now. He has not changed his views on any subject where he was ht and convinced that he was right, and he is not changing now. Dr. eGlynn’s first expression of litical opinion was in 1884, before the hicago convention assembled. It was seen that Cleveland was a Phy candidate ; the ory was raised from different quarters and largely in New York that the Irish laboring men and the Catholics, especially, would not vote for him on ac- count of alleged bigotry and unfairnessin the matter of the freedom of wor- ship bill. - The cry was largely made by Tammany Hall, of which Grady was the chief mouthpiece. The same cry was taken up by the Catholic University of Cleveland. Dr. McGlynn deprecated this ery and he did what he could in public in- terviews to counteract this impression. It wasat the requestof the tor of the Wor.Lp that Dr. McGlynn first spoke for Mr. Cleveland. Hewas for Cleveland. He was afraid that the bottom of his cam- aign would be knocked out bythe cry — the Catholics were against him. He sent to Dr. McGlynn ——— and Dr. McGlynn complied with his request. All that he could do to prevent religious at- tacks on Cleveland he did, and after Cleveland was nominated Dr. McGlynn made a speech 2 Cleveland at the recep- tion to Daniel McSweeney. DR. M’GLYNN ADVOCATED CLEVELAND’S election, and he questioned the benefit to the Catholic Church and the country of Catholics acting as a class, aud not as citi- zens. That brings it up to the present time and the George campaign. r. McGlynn could not have done otherwise than he did. He had spoken forthe Irish Land League. He was imbued with the doctrine that the natural law was the ownership of the land by the people and the confiscation of the rent tothe people. The time was ripe for the George campaign, and Dr. MoGlynn spoke and worked for his be- liefs. t ' The above is:;what was laid before Dr. McGlynn for hisverification. It may be said thatthe accounts of his suspension by Archbishop Corrigan are true. He is suspended, and he has been for some time. The Archbishop, in suspending Dr. McGlynn from the pastorship of St. Stephen’s, has for the present exhausted his power. He has preferred charges, and the Prefect of the College of the Propa- anda has summoned Dr. McGlyun to metoanswerthem. It would be rash to say what Dr. McGlynn may do. As he himself said, when asked: That would be yi sete on your part.’’ He hasthe alternative of bag Bed pages -y or not. If he goes he will e heard. He may be sustained. Such things have often happened. In that case it would be the prediction of a foolish man to say that Dr. MoGlynn will recant any essential doctrine that he has expressed, and that he now believes. Dr. McGlynn could refuse to goto Rome. He has not done that. So far he has acted in the bounds of the church procedure and dis- cipline. A 8t. Louis Contribution to the Smithsonian Institate. It has remained for a prominent Olive street undertaker to furnish the only scientific rep- resentative of which St. Louis can boast to the National Museum, Smithsonian Institute, at the Nation’s Capital. It ls that of the body of a female embalmed by him three years ago and which has become mummified by an orig · inal and simple embalming material. The Smithsonian authorities say that while they have a large number of mummies from Peru, Alaska and the Oriental countries, they acknowledge it the only known American mummy in the world, and arrangements are made to take it to Washington next week. Preceding would-be embalmers have fol- lowed the books, as did also this gentleman for several years, when finally he determined to throw the books with all their physic and theories aside, and entered the field of experiment for revo- lution or nothing; at the same time discarding the use of arsenic, creosote, chloral and such poisons which are alike dangerous, objection- able and expensive; and though yet a young man has carved a niche well up in scientific achievement by the use of common materials that are listed and handled by the barrel and pound instead of by the drachm and ounce. With fifteen minutes time, at less than one dollar of cost and no mutilation, the human body is now preserved as never before and also every contagious disease germ destroyed. The ice-box, discarded by him six years since, has even been a favorable means of carrying contagion from house to house. Their use is tolerated now only in families not aware of their danger, or unacquainted with the simplicity and benefits of modern em- balming, or by those unable to embalm with that certainty of success so absolutely and rightfully demanded. The same authorities cite attention to the great commercial value of this inexpensive material In the preservation of anatomical specimens, birds, fish and animals for muse- ums, and while awaiting the taxidermist’s attention and labor.

HANDI- Doubts as to How the Knock-Out Was Ef- fected—Gossip About Slosson and Schaef- er’s Big Tournament—MeCormick to Go to Cincinnati— Billiard News — Sporting Notes. The gate money taken in at the Daly- Myers prize fight at Woodfood, III., Tuesday night, a full accountof which was published exclusively in the Post- DisPaTcH yesterday, amounted in all to nearly $700. Including the seconds, but ten men left the city Tuesday to witness the battle. Dan Daly, Charley’s brother, says that the men were handicapped in more ways than one. In the first place no opportunity was given the party to pitch a ring and the mill had to be fought m the back end of a saloon from which the stove had been moved. The regular 24 foot space was therefore wanting, and in- stead of ropes the fighters were in con- stant danger of coming into contact with hard walls, doors, windows and projec- tions of moulding surmounting the wain- sconting of the room. THE GLOVES were of the two-ounce order; Dan said, but very little padding was used m their manufacture. ‘*You couldn’t more than fill a pipe with the moss in the mittens,’’ said he, and when the hand was closed the buckskin was erfectly smooth on the knuckles. thought that the hitting was pretty hard all through the fight, and particularly in the sixteenth round. Myers is a pretty ood man. His best biows were right- and swings, but he isn’t much of a tactics fighter. He gave himself dead away every time he was about to swing his right. Charley fought for the body altogether, but the few face blows he got m counted. Myers endeavored several times to get him around with his back to a window, intending to knock him into it. If Charley ever struck that win- dow his back and face would have been cut to pieces by the lass, but he was lucky and escaped it. he Streator crowd kicked like steers against my coachi my brother, but I had a whole lot of signals down fine which I arranged before hand with Charley and in that way\I gave him several pointers which hel him out. For instance, whenever re was a stomach opening I said “Dynamite” and then Charley Tet loose and gave it to him. Myers’ stomach was badly battered up and after awhile he got to guarding it with both arms. The fight was a purely scientific one but Charley was weak to hold out. In the thirty-first round it was anybody’s fight at all. Idon’t think the knock-out was eff by a blow as reported. Both men were so weak they could scarcely stand up in the thirty- second round. They were both sparring around blind when Myers suddenly made a high bers at Charley, and fell up against him an BOTH WENT DOWN. „Charley wasn’t strong enough to get up, and after a second or so stretched out his arms and legs, ea a little and then fainted d e did not bring him to for at least five minutes.’’ According to Dan Daly’s account of the fight there was not such a storm of bet- ting on the result as reported. Cheney, Daly’s backer, offered to bet in so lavis a manner as to scare off the Streator men. nee progress of the fight, however, when they saw that Daly was getting the worst of it, the Streator folks came to the front but were not met. Dan says he will never allow Charley to fight to another finish as he thoes notconsider him sufficien J strong in con- stitution to do so. He match him with anybody of his weight for six rounds but for no more, Meyers and Daly are both pretty badly beaten up. Daly’s face is dishgured with a lum about the size of a hen’s egg under ht eye, and Myer’s nose was broken. Charley kept his bed yesterday, but was out to-day, and the swe on face was considerabl reduced. He said that he ea BICYCLE BUDGET. — A New Field for the L. A.

The question at once arises, why cannot the League, with its large membership, have a beneficiar clause its Constitution, providing either for ac- cident on life insurance, or both? Sucha ractical benefit would be ar inducement hat could not failtodraw an immense support to the League. — — TREMONT’S VALUE. Estimate of the Worth of His Perform ances for Next Season. Phil Dwyer was recently interviewed with reference to the value of Tremont, the celebrated colt that created a sensa- tion last summer in the East. „What will you take for that colt?“ he was asked. **Oh, I don’t know,” he replied. ‘It is almost impossible to set a value on a race- horse. Is he worth 0, 000?“ J wouldn't take that for him.“ „Would you take $60,000?” „No.“ ‘*‘Seventy thousand!“ „No.“ A hundred thousand?’ No, not a hundred and— He hesitated a moment and then con- tinued: ‘‘I suppose it would be considered foolish to place so extravagant a value on any race-horse, but the fact is we would not sell Tremont at any price that any man could afford to give. The value that others put on him is his value to us. If so-and-so offers $150,000 for him, we know at once that we can afford to keep him at that price as well as so-and-so can afford to give it.“ In other words, he is the chief depend- ence of your stable for the coming sea- son, and you have nothing to race against him if he were in other hands!“ „That's about it, as nearly as we can judge now. Next season Tremont ought win at least $75,000.” BILLIARDS. Some Square Propositions Which May Re. sult in a Teurna ment.

Slosson says: I have notmuch money, but that seems to be no object with Schaefer, and I judge from what he says he will be willing to play for fun ust to demonstrate his ability to beat me. i 6 will play me for $100 a game, I will play him in private, each side to be allowed fi tickets each night, a series of five games—2,000 points straight rail; 800 points champion’s game, 20 vy 40-inch lines; 800 points M-inch baik-line; points cushion carroms, and 75 points at three-cushions. He can come bere any time and get those games, to be played five succes- sive nights. The amount of money that I offer to play for is not much, but it is as much as Schaefer would put up if he were p for his own money. Slosson’s proposition is not so bad, and some effort will be made to b the two great players together ain. in a Chi- cago interview Mr. Moses Bensinger says. I bave been thinking of how these men could be brought together in a way that would settle this question of who is really the best ali around player of the two, and Slosson’s chal- lenge seems to give me a chance. I haven't settled the matter in my own mind yet; but am seriously thinking of giving an emblem in the form of an elegan appropriately engraved, to which $1,000, making the same subject to challe every three months, the stakes not to be more than $500 nor less than for the five games, and the player who hoids it for two years hold it for all time. That would give a chance, and a meeting of the billiard-play- ers would settle the rales. Schaefer himself stands ready to go into anything which will be to the interest of the game, and it now depends on the Chi- ple to come forward with some definite proposition. Fancy Billiards. Jake Schaefer and Louis Shaw are booked to give an exhibition of fancy bill- iards at the rooms of the St. Louis Club, 1 — * * * \ 7 2 “a . * . 0 > as 4 N 1 * ty : 1 0 2 * é ; 14 Pete : 1 *. tz N * 5 323228 4 . began 7 a 2 1 .

I can get backing to the extent of $700 to $1,000 that I can beat him even atthis game, and I can’t understand why he still refuses to play.

McCormick and Cineinnati. Manager Von der Ahe of the Browns re- ceived a telegram yesterday afternoon from the managers of the Cincinnati team asking him if he desired to make a claim for McCormick, the Chicago pitcher. Mr. Von der Ahe replied that he did not. This means that Cincinnati is about to sign the Chicago pitcher; and if they have not done so already, there is no doubt but that Mac will be a member of the Red Stocking team before the first of the year. Sporting Notes. Jacob Gaudaur, the oarsman, was in the — yesterday. He reports hunting around the lake good. Inspector B., Winfred and Pontiac of Dwyer’s stable are broken down, and it is not likely that anyone of the three will ever train again. | Mr. S. S. Brown has all his horses at New Orleans. They are wintering there. Blue Wing will be prepared for the Suburban. Trainer Rogers will give him special attention. The late Fred Archer is said to have been a very superstitious man. He pos- sessed a large scarf-pin of horshoe shape, which he invariably wore when riding. The pin was held to exercise a great in- fluence over his marvellous luck,“ and one friend of his declares that he would on no account mount for a race without the lucky horseshoe in his cravat.—[Lon- don Court Journal. Since their trade for Miss Woodford nearly all the purchases made by the Dwyers have been colts of a year. George ene ag hed a A1 says the New York ibune, when he came to their stable, and the brothers will give $20,000 to-day for a colt 12 months old guaranteed to be as good as George. But no guaran- tees go with racers nowadays. The buyer buys at his own risk and suffers the con- sequences. Dwyer Brothers invest from $40,000 to $60,000 every year in yearlings, from which they secure two or three first- class colts. Last winter they expended 130,000 on a stable that had never earned dollar. They own at present fifty high- bred horses, the majority of which may never win a stake. THE “ROCHESTER” LAMPS.
