KER’S SEOA LATEST ED “HE'S DONE IT, on er's Victim. Killing To-Day of Robt. A. Steele, a Commission Merchant. Row Over Fifteen Dollars Results in a Tragedy. A Murder at the Union Stock Yards—Rice Marsteller Kills His Creditor—Asked to Pay a Loan He Retaliates with Bullets— Courage of His Victim—Advancing Un- der Fire Steele Meets His Death—Excite- ment at the Yards. offices on Bremen avenue and Hall street were thrown into a fever ot excitement this morn- ing about 10 o’clock dy the killing of Robt. A. Steele of the firm of Hull & Steele, commission merchants, atthe hands of T. R. Marsteller, a trade about the yards. When a reporter of the Post DISPATCH reached the scene a few minutes after the kill- ing groups of stalwart men were clustered about the offices discussing the murder. There was only one eye-witness of the entire row between the two men which culminated in the tragedy, but several of the traders and drivers had seen parts of the affair, and all these recollections were graphically re- lated to the listening crowds. The facts in the case are that Mr. Steele left his office on Bremen avenue, between 9 and 10 o’clock and went down to the west scale lot about one block south of Bremen avenue, and on the main alley running north and south. He had not been there long before he became engaged in a personal difficulty with Marstelier, who drew a revolver, and, firing three times, SHOT HIM DEAD. The men were standing almost against the rear door of the scales office opening into the hog shed. THE SCENE OF THE MURDER wasabusy one atthat hour. The murderer and his victim stood at the extreme northern limit of the hog shed, on the north- east corner of which stands the scales office. The parties to the tragedy standing at the rear door of the office were thus almost out from under the root...» dt the shed. On eac h of the alleys running past the office hogs were being driven and the hoarse cries of the swine drivers could be heard all about. Traders and employes yards were passing back forth from the oftice by both the front and rear doors and the only thing that saved some of these from being ‘‘winged’’ by the flying bullets was the fact that Marsteller’s aim was too high. Under the roof, from the north and south alley, was the scale-yard space, about 50 feet long by 20 wide, into which the rear door of the oflice opened. This space had no pens, and ofiered no interruption to rapid movements from one end to the other. About twenty feet from the alley the yard — 1 into hog pens, which atthe time were filled with the grunting animals. Drivers were urging herds up and down the dark alieys which, leading off from scale-yard extended far off to the south underthe dark shadow ofthe roof. Along these dark aisies the revolver shots reverberated, startling men and animals as one report followed the other in quick succession. By standing upon the fence that separates the var from the alley and straining the neck, a per- son can see the south window of the dead man’s office in the big brick building a hundred yardsaway. At this window stood the victim’s oldest son, Charles, who, as book-keeper of the firm, was footing up a column ot figures, while his father at the very moment bad just finished the problem of life. THE MEN. Both men were gray-haired, Marstellers hair being almost white. Steele was a large man pe ye being about five feet ten and a half inches tall, and weigh- ing nearly 180 pounds. He had a rural look and eneral make-up, and as he lay in eath jn one of the offices he much resembled a ood-natured Joshua Whitcomb. He had reddish hair and chin whiskers of the same color, both of which were considerably tinged with gray. Marsteller is an undersized man and will not weigh over 140 pounds, He is not more than feet 6 and would be no match for a man of Steele's size. He is exceedingly nervous and is noted for his ungovernable temper. THE MURDER. The only eye-witness of the killing was Frauk Lewis, a young man who drives hogs about the yards. He was standing almost along side of both men when their differences became serious. His statement to a reporter was as follows: 1 was standing near the rear door of the scales office, about six feet from Steele and Marsteller. The two were leaning up against the rear of the building, Steele having his back to the buiid- ing. i wasn’t paying much attention to their talk and didn’t notice what they were talking about until I heard Marsteller exclaim: ‘You're a bie lying cur and a dirty up.’ With that Steele hit him three times. je didn’t succeed in knocking him down, and the two clinched in the corner up against the building Suddenly Marstelier broke loose and started away. Steele made no effort to follow him, and Marstelier waiked deliberately away with his back to Steele until ne had gone about twenty feet, when Ilsaw him quickly throw open his coat and DRAW A REVOLVER. Just then some one cried: „He's going to shoot.’ Several men whowere standi near the office door threw it open and rush inside. I was so startled by the sudden change in affairs that I just stood there. I guess I could nota’ moved if I'd wanted to. Just as the door slammed bebind the men who ski into the office, Marsteller wheeled around so as to face Steele, and aiming his revoiver at him said: ‘Now you take it back.’ Steele never flinched but Gone a up said: ‘No. hoot if you wantto. * the last word was uttered, Marsteller fired, but his aim was too bighand the bullet went into the ceiling. 8 e never then, either.

I and several others bent over Steele, but he was dead, the bullet having gone in right over the heart.’’ JUST TOO LATE. Mr. R. T. Wheeler of the firm of Wheeler James, commission merchants, was stand- ing atthe west end of the yard, at a point where both men finally tell. He was discuss- ing business affairs, and says he saw n hing until somebody cried: He's going to shoot. Mr. Wheeler says: ‘‘I then turned and saw Marsteller fire the first shot. His aim was 80 exceedingly high I exclaimed after the crack, ‘He isn’t hit, it went too high.’ I stepped forward a few peeve and Marsteller backed toward me at he same time This shot, am cer - to move 3 — something uickly and sprung up to the sh ooter’s side. 1 thought I had him ore, — just as my hand was coming down on too, because to weapon the third report came, and then Steele said: ‘He’s done it for me, boys, and itched forward on top of his murderer. at last jump he made was with the only breath he took after the third shot, because he was dead, I’m sure, when the gun cracked. The bullet hit him over the heart, and I guess went through it.’’ Mr. Wheeler, though a very large man, made no attempt to seize Marsteller, paying all his attention to the dead man who lay upon the snow, still and rapidly growing cold and THE ARREST. Mr. J. A. McKinnon was the only pa ap- arently who did not forget about the living n his thought for the dead. Mr. McKinnon, who relates about the same account of the killing, as Mr. Wheeler, with whom he was talking, tells how the arrest was made: When trom under the limp form of his late antagonist, he left his revolver on the yey. and walked outinthealley. I picked t up and threw it in the corner of the ard, about ten feet away. Presently he murderer came back and began looking nervously about. I said: ‘What are you after?’ and he replied: ‘‘I want that re- volver.’ I reached down to where I had thrown it and putting it in my pocket said: ‘Mars, I'll keep this.“ He said nothing and then I bent down over the dead man again. When I looked up Marsteller had disappeared. 2 seemed think any- thing about it and sol started out after him, running up and down the alleys. Finally I heard he was on Bremen avenue, headed for 1 Iran down the avenue and caught up with him abouta block from Fifth street. I SEIZED HIM by the arm, but he tried to shake me off, saying: ‘I want to go and see my wife first.’ Isaid: ‘No, you’re not, you’re going to the station with me.’ He struggled for afew moments with me, but I could see he was nearly exhausted, and I hung to him till he became quiet. ThenlI said: ‘Marsteller, you have killed a — man, and for nothing.’ He stopped, ooked at me and answered wearily’ ‘Well, he imposed on me.’ That was all he said, and then, coming toa policeman, I turned him Over. The prisoner was taken to the Fourth Dis- trict Police Station, where he was interviewed by a Post-DISPATCH reporter. When the re- orter entered, Marsteller was lying on the ench, with his overcoat, hat, gloves and overshoes on, just as he was brought in. He seemed too busy thinking to notice his arments. His slight form was stretched out, is feet toward the cell door. His face inexpressibly sad, because of the far-away look there was in his eyes, was resting upon his hand and was turned up to the full gaze of his visitor. His garments were worn, andin some places quite thread- bare. His whole appearance was that of a man who was not in good circumstances. He only nodded and closed his eyes when his caHer’s mission was announced. 1 don’t want to talk, he said pathetically iat have said too much. inally when he was told how strong the feeling was against him, he yielded. THE MURDERER TALKS. They say you owed Steele $15?’’ „es, 1 did. 1 borrowed it of him a little while ago. 0 N there anything further between you?’’ % No. „Aud so you killed him for 5157“ This question roused the man. He pushed his old felt hat a little back from his whitened temples, pulled his faded overcoat col- lar from his gray-whiskered throat and satuperect. His eves had a strained, some- what hunted look and his face still carried the flush of recent excitement, As the full light struck his features, the effects of Steele’s blows could be seen. Over his left cheek was a dark red con- tusion, his upper lip was tinged with blood, and the right side of his nose was scratched. He shook himself in an effort to recall his thoughts, and then slowly and in a sad tone of voice: ‘‘Kill him? Why, I never meant to kill him any more than I have ou. Steele asked me couldn’t pay it. He me and 1 said he me fair, that there the yards he was treating so badly. WhenlI said that he said: ‘You’re a d—n liar,’ and struck me. He was so large I had no show with him and his third blow knocked me against the building. Then he clutched at my right eye but only scratched my nose. i got loose and backed off. When I drew on him lonly did it as a bluff. The first two shots I tired in the alr. The last I aimed to maim hin, but I missed it and they say it killed him.’’ In further talk he said he had served in the Confederate army and was wounded at Sharpsburg.

He formerly was in the firm of Steele, Givens & Co., commis- sion merchants, from which seven years o he went into the present firm.

BOYD WILL RESIGN THE PASTORATE OF THE SECOND, BAPTIST CHURCH. wx He Announces That He Wants to Close His Connection With the Church on June 1, Next—The Pastor Feels That He Needs Rest After Ten Years’ Work—A Big Surprise in Church Circles—A Talk With Dr. Boyd. Considerable excitement was caused in church circles this morning when the rumor became very general that Dr. W. W. Boyd of the Second Baptist Church had resigned his pastorate, his resignation to take effect on the Ist ot June next. There were the usual vague accompaniments to the story, and some people who knew nothing whatever about the facts were the first to state that there had been trouble in the church, and that the trouble grew out of choir matters. Dr. Boyd himself was seen and he gave a plain version of the matter. ‘‘Itold my people at our last church meeting,’’ said he, ‘‘that I would sever my connection with the Second Baptist Church, at theclose of my tenth year of service with the church, which will be on Junel. During the ten years I have been here, I have not been idle, and I feel the need ofrest. There have been numerous burdens some of which, like our fre, have been heavy on all our shoulders. To put it plainly, 1 am physically tired. I want to get into some smaller place, some place where the responsi- bility will be lighter, and where, conse- quently, I shali get the rest I feel I need.’’ And there has been no trouble with the churen?“' None whatever. In fact, since I have an- nounced my intention, the strongest kind of pressure has been brought to bear upon me by N people to induce me to remain with them, I look back upon all my years spent in St. Louis with unalloyed pleasure, and, as I tel] you, and as any member of my church will tell you, I think, I am simply leaving because 1 feel that I must rest. NO TROUBLE. And this statement about trouble with the choir?’’ **See John T. Davis of the Music Committee of my church, or any member. If I leave, I leave with relations so pleasant that they shail never be erased from my mind. There is not a sign of trouble. In fact, the only trouble the church has given meis the pressure now eer, brought to bear to make me stay.’’ Lou may probably charge your mind, then?’’ No. Iam still of the same mind, as when 1 made the announcement at the church meet- ing. Ineed rest which I cannot get and at the same time retain the pastorate of my church, Iam afraid.’’ Have you received a call, or made up your mind as to where you will go in case you’ leave?’’ g No, no, the matter has not gone that far at all. I have simply announced my intention thus far ahead that I should not take the church by surprise, and that Llalso might be free to act in case any place which was desirable might present itself. Further than that I am going to close my pas- torate here on the firat of June next, I know now no more than you do. I have as yes made no arrangements for the future. A $6,000 PASTORATE.

THE INDIANA LEGISLATURE, The Senate Precipitates Bad Feeling by Slighting the House. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., January 11.—The gal- leries and lobbies of the Capitol were again densely crowded this morning. Interest centered in the Senate where it was thought Lieut.-Gov. Robertson might possibly make an effort to enforce his rights as presiding officer. The doors of the Senate were guarded with more than usual care, but when Robert- son presented himself he was admitted. He remained in and about the Senate, but made no formal demand for possession of the chair. Senator Harrison was refused admit- tance tothe floor of the Senate and several prominent Democrats were treated in the same manner. Senator Trippett, Democrat, intro- duced a resolution inyiting the House to meet in the Hall of the Senate onthe 19th, there to participate in an election of United States Senator.

If Canada endeavors to carry out the statute to which her Majesty recently assented and undertakes to arrest American vessels whenever and under whatever circumstances 7 are found within the three-mile limit, he believes the United States Government will utter an indignant and forcible protest. The new law empowers Canadian officers to pounce upon any Ameri- can fishing dessel discovered within three miles of the shore, run her into the nearest port, search her and examine her officers under oath and all this notwithstanding there may have been no illegal act committed or in- tended.

OPPOSITION IN THE HOUSE AGAINST THE LOGAN AND BLAIR PENSION BILLS. Carlisle After Beck's Seat—The Contest Be- tween Dawes and Long—The Blair Kau- eational Bill—Passage by the House of the Bill Creating a Department of Agri- eultare and Labor—Appointments by the Fresident—Congressional Proceedings. By Telegraph to the Post- DISPATOH. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 11.—Congress- man Matson, Chairmanof the Committee on Invalid Pensions, togethér with Gen. Bragg, will lead the opposition tothe passage of the bill granting a pension.to Mrs. Logan. The impression now prevaiis that the bill will hardly pass, at least it will not get through without considerable of a2 fight. The same opposition will be made to the passage of the bill for the beneit of Mrs. Blair. English Appeased. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCs. WASHINGTON, D. O., January 11.—The Pres- ident yesterday made an appointment directly in the line of practical politics. He has sought to concillate one of his most vigorous enemies by appointing Dr. Willoughby Walling of Indiana consul at Leith. Dr. Walling is the son-in-law of Wm. H. English, Democratic candidate for Vice-President on the ticket with Hancock in 1680. The appointment of the son- in-law, itis sup ed, will put an end to the opposition to the President being waged by English and his friends. It will be remem- bered that at the last convention Mr. English submitted a series of resolutions severely arraigning the Administration and its policy on the civil service law. It was with areat difficulty thet Mr. English could be pre- vented from having the resolutions adopted. This was, coursé, communicated to the President, and since that time there has been an effort upon the part of the President to ap- pease the wrath of the English family. It was not more than ten days after the inauguration of Mr. Clevelaud unt Mr. English’s son-in- law asked to be made Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital. It was refused, and the Englishes from that day became hostile to Mr. Cleveland. Dr. Walling, however, was not severe. He possessed staying powers, and instead of leading a revolt“ quietly asked for an appointment, which was given him yesterday. It is worth $2.500 a year, with not much to do. Dr. Walling has not been successful as a business man. For a number ot years he was engaged in the wholesale druggist business in Louisville, but failed. He afterwards started a house in Indianapolis, where it was notlong before he made an as- signment. It is said the President became im- pressed with him on account of his fine per- sonal appearance. He is a native of Kentucky, and when a resident of that State wore the proud distinction of being the ‘-handsomest man in the South. It is not known whether Mr. English will allow him to accept, but those who know Mr. English best say there need be no fear upon thatscore. If he does accept, it will naturally make Mr. English a friend of the President. Carlisle for Senator. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 11.—There 18 a stir among Kentucky politicians over the announcement that Speaker Carlisle will be a candidate forthe Senate to succeed Senator Beck. The election will not take place until next winter. The Legislature to choose u Sena- tor is not yet elected. The Senatorjelected next winter will not take his seat{until March 4, 1889. Mr. Carlisle, if elected to the Senate, could serve out his next term in Congress before taking his seat in the Senate. r. Oarlisie could have been elected to the Senate when Mr. Blackburn was elected. Mr. Blackburn could not have been elected without Mr. Carlisle’s aid. Mr. Beck is serving his second term in the Senate. He is still cailed a carpet- bagger in Kentucky, because he did not happen to be born in that State or in tht country. He has made a good Senator and has made a good record as an opponent of corporations and monopolies. e is one of the few men in the Senate who has had the courage to stand up and denounce the corporation influences which control that bodg. Mr. Bec«x hereto- fore has not anticipated very much trouble in securing his return. There are already a number of men in Kentucky seeking to get the place, and none of them are particularly prominent. Mr. Oarlisle, who is now recog- nized as a candidate, will give Mr. Beck a close run. Kentuckians believe Mr. Carlisle can be elected if he wants to. Funny Van Eaton. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaTcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 1l1.—The floor of the House of Representatives was well filled with the outside public ten minutes be- fore Speaker Carlisle called the members to order at noon to-day. At this time Van Eaton of Mississippi mounted the elevation at the Speaker’s chair and rapped the House to order. There was a good deal of confusion, members sitting with their feet on their desks, smoking and chatting. In an instant the noise ceased. Hats off, commanded Van Eaton. Hats came off. ‘‘Quit your smoking, he con- tinued, at the same time placing a freshly lighted cigar in his mouth and puffing like a locomotive. ‘‘There is a bill pending here and I am inelined to let her pend. fr lam not disappointed there will be one pending at this time to-morrow and possibly next day.’’ The utmost quiet prevailed as Van Eaton continued: ‘‘Some of you may have bills to resent; if you haven’t you ought to have. oke them in that hole,’’ pointing to a pigeon- hole in the Clerk’s desk. Then, with a wave of his hand, Van Eaton said: It's time to dis sembie; get out.“ There was a general laugh. Van Eaton was tne man who con- ducted the mock session in the Democratic National Convention of 1884, Senator Blaur’s Bill. By Telegraph to the Post-DispaTcu. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 11.—Senator Blair of New Hampshire to-day presented in the Senate the memorial of the Brooklyn Lit- erary Union in favor of the educational bill. It will require something more effective than memoriais to secure the passage of this bill, however. The Committee on Education in the House is no more favorably disposed to the 6xpeénditure of millions for educational pur- poses to-day than it was a year ago. All efforts of the friends of the Blair bill to secure it a place on the calendar, with even an adverse report, have thus far proved futile. The chief opponents of the measure in the committe are essrs. Mahoney of Brooklyn and Straight of Minnesota. These gentlemen are always on hand at the meetings of the committee and never allow an opportunity to slip by for mak- ing a point against it. The prospects are that they will be able to fight off final considera- tion in the committee until too late for action in the House. The Massachusetts Senatorship. By Telegraph to the POST-Disratct. WasuincTroyr, D. O., January 11.—Both Gov. Long and Senator Dawes have received a can- vass of the Massachusetts Legislature. Strange to say, the Governor’s friends write him that he will be elected by about seventy-five votes, while the 14 of Senator Dawes inter- ests tell him that he will be returned by same @umber. The impression among members of the delegation is that the Governor is much stronger than he was a week ago. The Mormon Lobby. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. WASHINGTON, D.

Mr. Hawiey presented a memorial of some residents of Jefferson County, Texas, stating that they had been denied their rights as citi- zens by the citizens and authorities of that county, and appealing for redress to the Gov- ernment of the United States. Mr. Sherman, by request, introduced a bill to reimburse the depositors of the Freed- men’s Bank of Washington. Referred. Mr. Cockrell from the Committee on Mili- tary Affairs reported back, without amend- ment, the House bill to release to the city of San Antonio, Tex., for the use as a public thoroughfare, certain portions of the military reservation there, and, on motion of Mr. Coke, the bill was considered and passed. On motion of Mr. Mandersen the House bill for the relief of settlers and purchasers of lands on the public domainin Nebraska and Kansas was taken up and considered, the question being onthe substitute report by the Committee on Public Lands. The substitute appropriates $25,000 to reimburse the purchasers, homesteaders and pre-emptors who had to pay for their lands to the Northern Kansas Railroad Company, which was decided by the Circuit Court of the United States to have a prior title to the lands, the basis of reimbursement being $3.50 per acre. After discussion, the substitute was agreed to—yeas, $81; nays, 17; and the bill, as thus amended, was passed and a conference asked. The Senate then, at 2 o’clock, resumed consideration of the inter- state commerce bill, and was addressed by Mr. Coke, in fayor ofthe conference report. WASHINGTON D. C., Janu 11.—On motion of Mr. Bragg of Wisconsin, the Senate amendments were concurred into the bill providing for school of instruction for cavalry and light artillery. Mr. Blanchard of Louisiana, from the Com- mittee on Rivers and Harbors, reported back the resolution calling on the Secretary of War for information as to what steps have been taken to cause the removalof the sand-bar which bas formed against the piers of the Vicksburg, Shreveport and the Pacific Rail- road bridge “pone the Red River at Shreve- port, La. opted. Mr. Willis of Kentucky reported back the river and harbor bill, and it was referred to the committee of the whole. On motion of Mr. Caswell of Wisconsin Wednesday, February 9, at 3 o’clock, was set apart for the @omsideration of resolutions touching the death of William T. Price, late Representative from Wisconsin. Mr. Bragg of Wisconsin from the Committee on Military Affairs reported the Senate bill authorizing the Secretary of War to accept land near Chicago.

House calendar. In the mornins hour the House resumed, in Committee of the Whole, consideration of the bill for the erection of a public building at Charleston, S. C. The bill appropriates $100, - 000 for the purchase of the site and $400,000 for the erection of the building. Mr. Hepburn of Iowa moved to reduce this latter amount to $200,000. The city, he as- serted, was in its decadence, and in supportof this assertion he stated that between 1860 and 1880 the white population increased only 1,700, and between 1870 and 1880 the entire popula- tion was only 1,053. while, between the same periods, the Government receipts from all sources had steadily fallen off. Mr. Dibbie of South Oarolina thought that Mr. Hepburn’s statement was nota fair one. In the period between 1860 and 1880 Charleston had passed through all the mis- fortues of a four years’ war, and at the close of the war grass had been growing in her streets. As he did not wish to imperil the bill, he asked the committee to agree to Mr. Hepburn’s motion. This was done; the committee rose, and the bill as amended was passed. > MISSOURI ARCHITECTS. Third Annual Convention ef the State Asso- ciation To-Day. The first day’s session of the third annual convention ofthe Missouri State Association of Architects was held to-day in rooms in the Emilie Building on Olive and Ninth streets. The bour at which the meeting was to have convened was 10 o’clock this morning, but by some oversight it was omitted from the circular issued by the Secretary, and the architects were therefore tardy in reporting. A committee was sent out after absent delegates, and the convention came to order, dent James McGrath occupying chair. Mr. TI. 3. Annan acted as secretary. The roll was called and the con- vention immediately adjourned until 20’ clock. The time of the afternoon session was con- sumed in the reading of the report of the treasurer and Executive Committee and Board of Trustees together with the reading of re- ports of general committees, discussion on assigned topics, ete, The Association has a membership of nearly 100 throughout the State.

SPECIAL COUNSEL APPOINTED TO PROSE- CUTE THE ELECTION FRAUDS. Convicting Testimony in Biack and White— An Army of Disfranchisea Voters Ready to Tell How They Fared—Fraud Brought to Light in the Congressional Contest ©ase—The Ballot Boxes Will Be Opened. The appointment of D. P. Dyer as special counsel for the Government in the election cases is the realization of the worst fears of the gang—not because Col. Dyer is personally to be dreaded, but because he represents a body of earnest and unreachable citizens, who have determinedly set to work to punish the frauds committed at the last election. Sur- veyor Lancaster has been accused by some of the Democratic politicians of starting the in- vestigation to avenge some political scores with Congressman Glover. That official has even given out the impression himscif. If he did aid in it be finds that he has hurled a boomerang which now threatens the welfare of himself and bis political chums. There was considerable satisfaction among the workers over the early adjournment of the Grand-jury, but the rejoicing has been turned to mourn- ing. When the news went outthat Bliss had resigned the troubled politicians were again relieved. The testi- mony taken before the Grand-jury had been transcribed and lay in the District Attorney’s office a carefully guarded volume. They were anxious to learn the nature of this testimony, and it was hoped that a glimpse would be had as soon as Mr. Bliss steps out of of- fice. The appointment of Col. Dyer defeats this fond hope. No interval which might de judiciously used will occur, but backed up by the citizens at whose request Mr. Dyer was appointed that gentieman will PUSH A VIGOROUS INQUIRY. When Dyer’s appointment was first sug- geste@ to Attorney-General Garland he thought that there would be no need of ap- pointing special counsel untila request came from Mr. Bashaw after his confirmation. The friends of the gang at Washington were closely watching this part of the proceedings, and no sooner had the Attorney-General come to a decision than the joyful news was wired to St. Louis. The jollification was premature. At last Friday’s meeting of the citizens’ committee ai telegram reqeeee the immediate appointment of tr. Dyer was prepares and signed by gentlemen personally nown at Washington. he petition was not delayed, butin accordance with the request Col. Dyer was at once appointed. His com- mission will arrive to-night, To-morrow morning it will be presented to Mr. Bliss and the offices will probably be formally turned over to the special counsel. In the meantime the testimony is piling up. The books of the Register and his deputies have been examined and disclose the fact that numerous false entries have been madethereon. Special officers armed with all the information given by the books are hard at work gathering the evidence which, it is said, shows plainly that forgery has been committed in dozens of instances. The laws of registration have not been followed. The evidence showing who committed the forgeries is now being collected. ‘‘Wecannot give out that evidence just now,’’ saida gen- tleman prominent in the movement. We don’t want to betray ourselves to the offend- ers. It will be submitted tothe Grand-jury as soon as it resumes its session.“ VICTIMS. The following voters, whose names have been dieclosed by the lists of Chief Supervisor Wood and the rejected ballots as disclosed by the Frank-Glover contest, will be called be- fore the Grand-jury to give an account of their registrations in that part of the investigation relating to the striking off of Republican voters. There are numerous other witnesses in the northern and southern wards who were vio- tims to some person as yet unknown tothe Grand-jury. In some of these cases the names were published, as required by law, after striking them off of the books, and when objection was made by the voters publication wus made that the names had been restored, although the lists subsequently showed that the names had not really been added. The following is a list of the witnesses: Peter Lanfer, 802 North Ninth street; John McDonald, 1004 Wash street; Jacob Isaacs, 906 Franklin avenue; Louis Newman, 1019 Frank- in avenue; F. H. Small, Wash Street Church; Sam Epstein, 701 Morgan street; Joseph Vaughn, Christy avenue and Eleventh street; Reuben Armstrong, Ohristy avenue de- tween Eighth and Ninth streets; John J.

The Glover-Frank Contest. This morning the taking of depositions in the Frank-Glover contest was resumed and developed a vein of fraud, which the Federal Grand-jury will work. Room 15 of Turner Building was crowded with colored witnesses whose votes had been refused and laced with the rejected ballots. The object of to-day’s investigation was to canvass the voters of the rejected bal- lots and to ascertain for whom they haa voted. The inquiry was begun with Precinct 4, First Ward, at which a number of ballots were re- fused. In some instances it was plainly de- veloped that the names of some of the witness- es stricken off of the roll had appeared in the list subsequently published by the Board of Revision as reinstated. while, in fact, the name did not appear on the books on election day. The witnesses, in each instance, swore that they had not changed residence sub- sequent to the registration and could offer no eéxplanation as to how their names came to de scratched from the books. Many were erroneously deprived of their votes, but itis claimed that as publica- tion was made the failure to correct the error makes the vote of no efféct. Jos.

He was well acquainted in the ne — ors as ur; jams, colore age years swore that he had lived at 321 Poplar street for Tears, and had voted from that number at every election.

He stated that he could not do it. „How, then, did you read that ticket?“ „Do you think I couldn't read enough to tell a Democratic from a Republican ‘tection ticket?’’ The witness was excused. Isaac Johnson, who lives at 322 Poplar street, stated that when he went to transfer his vote Gratiot street. He said that he went tothe poll but was not allowed to vote, as his name was not on the books. It was then shown that Thompson’s name had been published as str:cken off on October 22, and on October 23 bad been published as having been reinstated, though it dia not appear.

SENSATIONAL SUIT FOR DIVORCE” FILED AGAINST HIM IN CHICAGO, woman Claims to Have Been Married 1 Under the Common Law Wants Alimony— The Divorce frem His First Wife Last al Career as a Member of the St. Louis Bar. | gational suit for divorce was filed in — Court of Cook Oounty, lilinois, at , yesterday, against Frank J. Bowman The oratrix was known previous as Ida M. Olement, and on that date, she alleges in her petition, she was married to Bowman in Chicago. He sa lawyer who bas been an excessively well wn member of the St. Louis barfor some ears, with the exception of two years suspen- — and in the course of the practice of his tession he acquired a fair com- a cy. He lived until last summer in a asome stone-front house on the south west corner of Pine street and Grand avenue. That pouse is now the property of his divorced wife, Mary V- Bowman, it having been given per as part ot a gross sum agreed upon be- ¢ween ber attorneys and Mr. Bowman in lieu ofan allowance made her on the termination ofthe divorce proceedings. On May 26, 1886, Frank J. Bowman filed the guitfordivorce from Mary V. Bowman, his wite, alleging that, although he had faithfully demeaned himself as her husband and at all times had treated her with kindness and af- gection, she had wholly disregarded ‘‘her duties a8 a wife, refused to perform her duty gsawife and at sundry and divers times nad impaired her healthfulness, “ eto. For reason of the consequent indignity of his position, ho ed that a divorce be granted. The filing of the petition created a sensation and its allegations were indignantly denied by Bowman. She filed an answer and cross- pill June 18, which was the legal formulation etperdenial. She said she was married to J. Bowman, June 25, 1867, and from that time she had at all times faithfully discharged her duties as his wife, but de had for a long time been unmindful of his duties. For four or five years he had indulged ip studied neglect of her and her pleasures, he been cross and irritable. For three years dan 0 had spent much of his time gway from home and had spent his Sun- days and evenings away from hie ily and from her, although in the city, and — from ber his whereabouts, his motives, and the causes of his absences. For two years he consented only to the most ordinary and indifferent intercourse with her. Upon an elaboration of these allegations she rested a plea for divorce. Bowman in turn denied her allegations and later withdrew his petition. The case was heard on her cross- bili June 24 and resulted in @ divorce granted to Mrs. Bowman, with all- mony, $13,000 cash and 3250 per month from July 1, 1886. This judgment was, by agreement, modified a few days later aii an order entered ty ge Bowman to ay Mary V.

Mrs. Graham’s Second Matrimonial Venture and the Sequel—Legal News. Judge Lubke to-day heard and disposed of the divorce suit entered by Mrs. M. E. Graham against B. F. Grahan. The decree was given by default to Mrs. Graham. They were married at Hannibal, June 2, 1883. Mrs. Graham at that time had a little business and property and she was enabied to comfortably support herself and two children by a former marriage. Her second husband brought her nothing. In the summer of 1885 she was inducea to leave Han- nibal and reside in East &t. Louis, but she soon — tlk that — and took up her a 6 on side. Her husband subsequently, under the retense of seeking a livelihood in California, eft her with the understanding that the fami- ly would be advanced and improved in cir cumstances on the Pacific Coast. It was agrect that he should go on ahead and pro- de a home; but he never communicated with bis wife and he has remained away from her since the latter part of 1885. Mrs. Graham complained that when they were residing in Hannibal her husband made uent trips to St. Louis at her ex- pense, and that he was accompanied by lewd oung women. Upon one of those occasions e registered at a hotel in this city witha 3 woman of ill repute, passing her off as wife. A Domestic Terror. Mrs. Therese 8. Hinze has entered a suit for divorce from Frederick Hinze, who appears to have been somewhat of a domestic terror in his way. They were married on the 9th of last October and the separation took place on Sunday. The honeymoon was spent on a farm in lilinois. Mrs. Hinze alleges that her husband soon began to domuneer over her in domestic affairs, complained of the cooking and said that farmers’ wives never amounted to any- thing unless they were well whipped once a day, that allthe wives in that section were whipped and no post-mortems were ever held, so that a farmer could dispose of his wife as he pleased. Subsequently they came to reside in St. Louis, and Mrs. Hinze alleges that her husband limited her hours of sleep, saying that four hours was enough for any person. He threatened to kill her, set fire to the house and hang himself, but he never carried out his threat. rs. Hinze further alleges that her husband boasted of his conquests over women of loose character, and he falsely accused her of attempting to poison him. Cable Curve Dangers. John O'Connell was granted leave to-day in courtto sue the St. Louis Cable 4 Western Rallroad Company for damages. He com- plains that on the 138th of December last he was received asa passenger upon one ot the company’s cars at Franklin avenue and Twenty-eighth street. Before he had time to take his seat the cars were set in motion again and passed rapidly around a curve. The violence of the shock knocked him off his feet and he fell to the ground, breaking his right limb above the knee-joint. Damages in the sum of $10,000 are sought on the ground of negligence, and it is also claimed that the curve itself is dangerous for passengers. The Colorado Condemnation. Judge Valliant to-day rendered a decision in the condemnation proceedings of the St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado Railroad Company against R. De Giverville and others. The ap- plication to sustain the exceptions to the re- port of the commissioners on the ground that the appraisement was not made by a jury is overruled and the exceptions are set down for hearing next Friday. The 1 the statute is that the Court shall hear the exceptions on the proof ad- duced and if sustained and a new appraise- ment is ordered, then at the request of either pasty such new appraisement shall be by jury, ut if overruled, no jury is to be called. Courts and Parental Trusts. Judge Dillon to-day rendered a decision in the suit of the Kelsey heirs against John W. Munson, a proceeding which occupied the at- tention of the court for several days last term. The object was to set aside, on the ground of fraud, a deed to property which r. Mun- son uired as an innocent purchaser. illon says: There is no doubt that the interest of the Kelsey children in the property was sacrificed by means of a judc- ment rendered in another case, and it was done by reason of the fact that the person ap- intead to guard their interests failed n thelr duty. The most grievous mistake was that when the father was appointed trustee to receive the roceeds of the sale belonging to the children e was not uired to giveany bond. That, however, the Court holds to be no reason why the defendant, who had nothing whatever to do with the proceedings, and who bought many relying on court should lose his father never ney tenn intended to wrong his children, but he used t unfortunate in business, lost it. en no bond they have nothing to fall back later in good faith, the judgment of the money.

He sometimes, not often, hesitates fora word to convey his exact meaning, but its always rewards the delay. In response to inquiries by the reporter he briefly ran over the experiences of his visit to America. As he id so he stood on the rug before the fire leaned on the mantel or sat in e easy chair vis-a-vis with the caller. His opening erformance in America was on October Ii in ew York where he played five weeks. After thathis engagements were three weeks in Boston, one week in New England one-night stands, two weeks in Philadelpbia and two in hicago. In all of these places the business had been splendid. Outside of New York there had been a disposition on the part of the — in the cities to wait a night before Uing the theaters but the latter part of all the engagements had been marked by over- flowing houses. Hod long have I been in the profession?’’ said Mr. Barrett. Well, professionally, since I was 17 years of age, but I had had a theatrical bent at—well, since I was 11. In a necessarily juvenile way, you understand —writing the plays at that time which my com- panions and myself put on.“ In the years that have passed since then I suppose you have seen many changes in the drama and the manner of its presentation?“ „A revolution. My novitiate was served under what was called the old stock system, a return to which many profess themselves anxious to make; but to my mind its ad- vantages and abuses were about ual. A oung actor had many opportunities for learn- ng under the system. He played many parts. I have myself played as many as eighteen parts in one week. Of course the lines were not — learned. The actor frequently supplied hisown words. He was very care- ful, however, to rehearse and preserve what we call the situation. That was never slight- ed. The audience w to disregard the reading and to watch for these effects of situ- ation. They were always loudly applauded and the —— told the story more than the lines did. The result was that actors grew stilted and stagey. The public of to-day would not tolerate such performances as met with favorthen. Under the star system of that time it was impossible to properly put on a piece in the provinces or auy place where a long run was not contemplated. I was among if not the first to estabiish the present combination system, and the first to make it a per- manent thing. Delicate shades of mean- ing by the reading of the lines, their inflections, by minute and seemingly unim- portant bits of business, stage positions, all are possible and are in constant requisition now. The public would be content with noth- ing less now.“ Do you rehearse your own plays, Mr. Bar- rett?’’ „Always. In so doing is it your custom to insist upon your own reading of a line, or are the indi- idual members of your company given some license?’’ That must be answered by an explanation. I first read the play that is to be produced, TO THE ENTIRE COMPANY, ving to each part as far as possible my inter- right. ant to magnify minor part the picture demands it, ing with my back to the audience.

EAST Sr. LOUIS. Items of Interest From the City Beyond the Big Bridge, The residence of Mr. Ferdinand Busson in the First Ward was burglarized last night. For the past week Mr. Bosson wife and fam- ily have been away, and the thieves were undoubtedly acquainted with this fact as the robbery was perpetrated between 9o’clock and 10 o’clock while Mr. Busson was himself absent. When he returned home shortly at- ter 10 o’clock he found everything in the house top turvy.’’ The bureau drawers bad been taken out, their contents scattered over the floor, and the wearing apparel which the robbers found in the closets and w be were like- wise scattered around. Mr. Busson did not miss any of his own clothes, and from this fact infers that the robbers were ouly after no money in aid on the new school-house, and that there only $5,900 still due.

U fr Senators, and to the popular awakening which is about to bear fruit in the inter- state commerce bill. CASTLEMAW’S “FLANKER.” Senator CasTLEMAN is so much in favor o of the enjoyment of free transportation by | o men in office that he proposes to displace the section prohibiting their acceptance of free passes with a constitutional amendment compelling all railroads to carry them for nothing, on passes issued by the Secretary of State. If the free transportation of all public officers, or of any particular class or de- scription of them, will increase the en- ciency of the public service or otherwise improve the same, then the public can well afford to provide such free transpor- tation and pay for it. To extort it from the railroads without compensation, is in principle and policy the same as compell- ing hackmen, livery-stable keepers, stage lines or steamboat lines to carry public officers without charge, or hotel and boarding-house keepers to board them without charge. It is billeting public officers on private citizens, a thing utterly at variance with the principles and con- stitutional landmarks of our system of government. One of the principal objections to the voluntary granting of passes by railroads and the acceptance of them by public officials is that it makes gadabouts of the latter and tempts them too often from their posts of duty. But were there no other objection to Senator CasTLEMAN’S proposition, an insurmountable one would be that it wrongs the railroads in the first place, and, in doing so, lays the basis of new claims for them on Government favor and of closer relations between them and t public officers, made their beneficiaries by law. It seems that legislation to enforce the Constitution is to be antagonized with propositions to repeal the railroad chap- ter of the Constitution with amendments. We hope no enforcing bill will offer to im- pose any unjust, improper or unconstitu- tional burden upon the railroads. To successfully vindicate the Constitution of the State and render unto the people that which is the people’s we must perforce render unto GOULD that which is GOULD’s. — oo — GETTING AT THE FACTS. Mr. WILLIAMS, the newly appointed Re- corder of Voters, has made a good begin- ning by declaring that it will be his first duty to purge the registration liste. We have every reason to believe that he is sincere in this declaration. It is a mat- 1 ter of political history that the aspirations of Gov. MARMADUKE have been steadily. antagonized by the gang of St. Louis“ politicians who are charged with the election frauds, and he has every per- sonal as well as public reason to take the control of the election machinery out of their hands. But it is not enough to purge the regis- tration lists. It is hopeless to try to prevent frauds in the future unless pun- ishment is visited on the frauds commit- ted in the past. The outgoing Recorder of Voters has used his position to protect} a fraud; the new incumbent owes to the cause of political purity the duty of pun- ishing fraud. He should clear his office of the bad odor into which it has fallen. | F He should take an active part in the her- culean task of cleansing the Augean stables of local politics. He should make his office a protection to honest voters by becoming the terror of dishonest election fixers.

He has in his possession the facts and the proofs, and by making them public he can strengthen the cause of justice, and greatly lessen the difficulties of punishing that rascality which has so long run on unchecked. 0 0 * THE WABASH DIFFICULTY. The great Wabash wreck lies flounder- b ing and helpless like a whale aground and | o the resources of railroad management seem hopelessly unable to even suggest a remedy for the situation. If the bisected system is useless to its owners, it is worse than useless to its rivals. It is a positive detriment as dan- gerous as a derelict hulk left floating about in the pathways of ocean com- merce, a menace to passing vessels. All railroads have traffic agreements, inter- change of business, pools, etc., and if the two fragments of the Wabash de- gin fighting with each other they may make trouble for their neighbors The Gresham decision, however, has di- voroed those whom Gourb had joined to- gether, and no one knows how to reunite them. The Purchasing Committee has hed all ite work for nothing. The bond- holders do not want torun one railroad, much less two, but there are interest charges to be met. This isthe chief difficulty, and here is where the remedy should be applied.

When Judge Brewer of the United States Circuit Court gaye orders at St. Louis afew days ago forthe management of the Wabash lines west of the Mississippi he remarked that Judge Gresham of the Seventh Circuit ‘‘dis- regarding the comity that has heretofore ex- isted between Federal courts’’ had removed the receivers whom he had appointed. This Was a case in which this ‘‘comity’’ was vio- lated for the public good. The example set by Judge Gresham may well be followed in other Federal courts. not stood in the way the people might now be free from the oppressive monopoly of the Bell It this idea of ‘‘comity’’ had elephone Company.

To the Bitor of the Post- Dispatch: The tne explanation of the false and insult- ing notces of alleged water waste is in the univeral impression that prevails with the appolnive city officials that their offices are held, md are to be administered for their own aid their personal friends’ convenience and tenefit. This impression is no doubt cause: in a great Measure by the methods hier grew up in the administration of the genenl Government during the twenty-four Fears that one party was continuously in powe. Wehave been led to believe that there has beena change at Washington, and that Euro- pean methods, under which the official is su- rem and the citizen’s rights are derived om he Government, would no longer be toleraed. This change must be applied to St. Louis, and the Assessor and Collector of Water Rates and ali other officials must be made to understand, much totheir astonish- ment,that their offices are not their personal property and that citizens in using their own property must be served by civil and courteous officers, who are thelr own employes. All the regulations for the distribution of water have apparently been enforced in the most arbi- trary and insuiting manner 2 and it is assumed to begin with thatthe user of water is attempting to defraud the water office. I see by one of the newspapers that some citi zens who had the temerity to reply to the false assertion that they are wilfully wasting water are to be annoyed in every manner possible by ‘*inspectors’* aga punishment for their pre- sumption in talking back to the Inspector. Thisisatruly European method and its en- forcement willbe a wonderful sight in a re- publican goverament. You remember the case of Gen. Sherman with the water office, and how surprised the Assessor was that any one of the intelligence of Gen. Shermaa should dare to quarrel with the regulations and administration of the water office.

He is bound to remove bis own appointees it they are unsuitable, and com- etent officers are wanted whether they are epublicans or Democrats. St. Louis, January 10, 1887. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-D1sPATCH. NEw Tonk, January 11.—The WORLD says: Roscoe Conkling would fill the great office of United States Senator from New York. Either of the contestants for the seat would simply occupy it, making the vacancy more couspic- uous. For years past the tendency has been to lower the standard of qualification in the Upper House of Congress. Money has bought its way into the Senate. Political wire-pullers have intrigued their way there. Rich corpo- rations bave promoted the election of their agents and attorneys. Steadily both the char- acter and the ability of what once enjoyed the proud distinction of being the most impressive and powerful legislative body in the world have gone down, down, down. Mr. Conkling has a gentus for leadership, a power in debate, a legisiative experience and a kngwiedge of men and affairs not possessed by any member ot the present Senate. His commanding ability is conceded. His honor has never deen dimmed by even the breath of suspicion. His independence has been attested as has that of few other public men of his generation. His election would be no experiment, for Roscoe Conkling has once ied the Senate in the m- terests of the Democrats and is unpartisan. If a Republican is to be elected they want the The Sun, 3 hats thea- ters, says: 0525 es in the political theater — — * cane an mugwum — og ey gr 4. 5 — ae in n Oleveland A X of a Democratic usher he will bounce them at once.’ keeks up appearan the intern by accepting sucd a necess to save the specific } care of which he is sent to ‘ ss. with a full consciousness of this necessity that he will move to go into the debate on the rev- enue.

The Tribune saves: The Secretary of the Treasury has been making some telling re- marks to Congress on the fisheries business. He declares that the character of au American vessel is determined by the papers she car- ries and that numbers of our ships, with roper documents, have recently been re- Fused hospitalities and trade privileges in Canadian rts ‘in a brutal manner,’ while the United States Government ‘was protect- ing Canadian n vessels in the use of American ports.’ This is the kind of talk which will make Secretary Bayard heartsick lest the Dominion authorities shouid imagine that some day the President may actually use the power Congréss has giveu him and close our ports to Canadian traders until our neighbors come to their senses.

HIGH BRIDGE, The Board of Engineers Reports Against a Low Structure With a Draw. Yesterday the reportof the Board of En- gineers sent to St. Louis to investigate the proposed new bridge was submitted to the Senate. It then appeared that the Commission had been appointed by the Sec- retary of War on a written request from Senator McMillan, Chairman of the Sen- ate Committee on Commerce. The report consisted of a review of the evidence heard by the board, both as to the desirability of alow and ofa high bridge. It concluded with their deductions in six ek ret ene They hold that while the present bridge has not been crowded to its full capacity good reasons were shown for the building of a new bridge above the site of the present one. aque no detailed statements were presented to them nor surveys forthe location of the pragosed structure, they do not think the difference of cost between a high and a low bridge would be considerable. a draw bridge was built the channel might shift, leave the draw span and make the bridge impassable. The board is decidedly of the opinion thata low bridge, with a draw init, should not be authorized or allowed below the mouth of the Missouri. Justice to navigation interests requires that the proposed bridge should be no greater tax upon the commerce of the river than is abso- lutely necess Unannel svans of 500 feet clear width, giving a clear headway of not less than fifty feet at high water, are the least dimensions that should be authorized, and with recent progress in engineering and the introduction of the cantalever principle, it is not expecting too much to suggest that spans of more than 500 feet may be found to be both * — and economioal. The board desires River above and below the mouth of the Missouri River. Aboye it is a quiet river, comparatively free from sediment and drift. does not exceed above twenty-two feet. Al- thougk low bridges on such a stream are ob- structions to navigation, they are not intol- erably so. Below the mouth of the Missouri ail this is changed. The rise and fall increases to forty-two feet at St. Louis, and over fifty feet at Cairo; the current doubles in velocity, the volume of sédiment vastly la- creased, drift Segoe runs, the bed is con.

Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lonpon, January 11.—[Copyright, 1887. -The Princess of Wales suffered a sad bereavement on Ohristmas day by the death of her favorite collie dog , Rover, which has been one of her chief pets for nearly twenty years. There is, I believe, no truth whatever in the report that the Prince of Wales was about to spend a couple of years in Ireland, and had actually taken Newlands, once the residence of Lord Kilwarden, murdered in the tnsurrection in Dublin at the commencement of the present century. The Prince of Wales, however, has announced his intention of visiting the Punch- estown races this year, and the date of the meeting has been changed to suit his con- venience. PRIVATE PERFORMANCE AT SANDRINGHAM. The performance of ‘‘David Garrick’’ by command before the Prince of Wales and his family at Sandringham, at 10 o’clock on Friday evening, was certainly the theatrical event par excellence of last week. The re- moval of the whole of the scenery and prop- erty from the Criterion to Sandringham and back again was in itself a notable feat of man- agerial ability, and everything went without a hitch from the start tothe finish, although „David Garrick’’ himself appears to have been out in the snow with the royal sportsmen while his subordinates set up the stage with its artistic bank of orchids and exotics and its classical prosce- nium draped in veacock blue plush. The royal household occupied the last row of seats, andin the little gallery opposite the stage, the muslin caps of the maids contrasted picturesquely with the scarlet liveries of the men. The neighbors and tenants attended in shoals in spite of the almost impassable roads, and the ball-room was nearly full when the playing of the national anthem by the Ori- terion band behind the curtain announced the approach ofthe Prince and Princess, and Gen. Sir Dighton Probyn began to marshal the chief guests te their places. Orders and rib- bons wore, of course, de rigueur. The Princess of Wales looked well in ruby velvet with skirt and sleeves of gold-beaded net, and a diamond flower- shaped ajigrette in her hair. The Marchioness of Lorne wore white satin, and the Princesses Louise and Victoria of Wales, pale sky blue. Princess Maude of Wales was dressed very simply in white, and the Princess Victor of Hohenlohe, Langenburg, who sat next the Prince of Wales, wore a dress of crushed straw- berry color. The rest ofthe house party con- sisted of Prince Albert Victor, whose birthday fete was thus anticipated twenty-four hours; the Prince and Princess of Leiningen and Princess Alberta of Leiningen, Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Lord Arthur Som- erset, Lord Calthorpe, Lord Marcus Beresford, Lord De Lisle, Captain and Mrs. North-Dal- rymple, Lady Dorothy Neville, Miss Stoner, Sir Henry James, Sir John Rose, Sir Oscar Clayton, Gen.

Tha plan for the Masonic jubilee celebration, which is about to be promuigated, certainly savors more of loyalty and charity than of the traditional convivialty which, rightly or wrongly, is attributed to the craft. It is pro- osed to organize a monster meeting dur- ng the summer, either at Olympia or Al- bert Hall. An admission fee of one or two xuineas will be charged and the proceeds are to be divided among three charitable institu- tions. His Royal Highness is, of course, to reside in person. There is alsoto be a jubi- ee medal for everybody and a general sub- scription tewards the Imperial Institute.

Abbett’s Message to the Legislature of New Jersey. TRENTON, N. J., January 11l.—In his annual message sentto the Legislature to-day Gov, Abbett congratulates the people of the State upon the great advance madein reference to the taxation of corporations. An increase of State revenue from this source in 1886 over 1884 of more than $357,000 is shown, and tor local purposes the increase is estimated at over $1,000,000. The State has secured, during the past few years, results that are of great advantage to the people, but it has not yet obtained the full measure of equal taxation. The act of April 10, 1884, contains a limitation upon tne taxation of railroad and canal property tor local purposes which excludes the maln stem of railroads, the water way of canals and the tangible personal property and franchises of these corporations, from any tax for local purposes, and also limits the rate on the property n subject to local taxation, to 1 per cent. If these ex- emptions and the limitation astothe rate of taxation for local purposes were stricken from the act, these companies would sub- stantially pay the same tax as individuals. recommend that the railroad tax be 80 amended as to compel the rallroad and canal companies to pay full local taxes on their réal estate used for railroad and canal purposes, subject only to the decrease of one-half per cent paid to the State for State purposes. The educational statistics show 88,000 child. ren between the ages of 7 and 12 did not attend apy school last season. A regard to prison labor, the Governor says: I can not view with favor any employ- ment of labor in the prison which interferes unjustiy with outside labor. The questi not revenue should be subordinate to the rights of labor and capital engaged in Industries outside the prisun. The silk manufacturers give em- loyment to over 19,000 persons and the cap- Ral invested in the business shows an increase 000.’ of over $4,000,000. QUINCY’S SOLDIERS HOME, The Architect Makes Serious Charges Against the Board of Trustees. CHICAGO, January 11.—The State Senate has been called upon to investigate the conduct ofthe Trustees of the Soldier’sand Sailor's Home at Quincy. They are charged with mal-administration or incompetency by S. Mu. Randolph, the architect of the building, who will oppose their confirmation by the Senate. In a communication drawn up to be pre- sented to the Senate Mr. Randolph says: “The Trustees of the Soldier's Home at Quincy, by their proceedings, have shown themselves to be incompetent inattentive or worse. Theirbad managemen has al y damaged the institution to the extent of several thousand dollars, and unless a radical change is made the institution will soon become a public scandal. In awarding contracts their action was so manifestly unfair as to attract public attention and condemna- tion. The work of construction and prepara- tion for occupancy, now going on, is of such an inferior character and in such direct viola- tion of the contracts as to perpetrate 4 fraud upon the State and permanent injury upon the institution.

Ragan’s Illuminated Tours. The first of the series of illuminated tours to be given by Mr. Henry Ragan was presented in Entertainment Hall last evening to a large audience. The subject was ‘‘Paris, the Mag- nificent,’’ and the lecturer led his hearers through all the wonders of the French capital, giving fine illustrations of the public buiid- ngs, galleries, palaces and famous objects of interest in the citv. The lecture, with the illustrations, was most interesting and was almost equivaient to a visit to Paris in the amount of instruction and pleasure gained from it. The subject of the next lecture, which will be delivered at the same place to-night, is ‘‘Glimpses of Scot- land.“ The single tickets, with reserved seats, may be secured for 50 cents at Balmer & Weber's. Fred Warde’s ‘‘Galba.” By Telegraph to the Post-DisratTcn. NEW YORK, January 11.—Frederick Warde produced his new play ‘‘Galba, the Glad lator,’’ last night, and a Windsor Theater au- dience found much foed for satisfaction in the performance. The play is a translation ot Saumet’s Gladiator, made by Leonard 8. Outram, an English actor and dramatist, and deals with the strongest passions of which the human heart is possessed—a father’s love and hate, the passions of ascorned Empress, the pure love and fidelity of a girl, and the hatred of wronged slaves who have reached the stage of rebellion against their masters. There were some novel features in the pre- sentation of the play. In the second act iv ballet of twelve young girls was introduced by a band of singers which surprised the audience. Galba, as the play runs, owes Rome a fearful debt for killing his wife and unborn child in order toinsure the birth of a Cesar to the Empress, but later on, hoping to find his elder daughter, who is lost, and who, un- known to him, has been found by the Empress’ former lover, who makes her his wife, the gladiator becomes a tool ofthe Empress, and nearly kills his own child, who has become the Empress’ rival. The play is full of rugged contrasts and strong climaxes, and in Galba Mr. Warde finds a character well fitted for his talents. The support was stronger in its female characters than in ite male. The Neo- dema of Miss E. Blair was a pretty and grace- ful characterization, while Miss Emma WII mot as Faustina, the Empress, was pict- uresque and vengeful to a degree. Amusement Notes.

President Von der Ahe of the Brown Stock- ing Club, received a letter to-day from O. P.

Mr. Caylor sug- gests that a meeting be called at an early date when the various plans of the different mem- bers of the committee will be consulted and other steps be taken looking to advice from the Schedule Committee of the League, whereby conflicting dates in St. Louis, Phila- delphia and New York may be avoided. Mr. Vonder Ahe, who is Chairman of the committee, will call a meeting of that body, to be held either at Louisville or Oinoinnati, on the last day of the present month. — — 48 TO FINES, President Spalding Intimates What His Course Will Be Next Year. Concerning the recent gossip about the ex- cessive fines levied on the Chicago Club, Mr. Spaiding said: ‘‘Four years ago Kelly was fined $10 for drinking. Last summer he was fined $25 for the same cause, and besides that he lost 6200 I had promised him it he did not drink throughout the season. In the five years I have been at the head of the Chicago Ball Club I have not fined the players $300 in all, including the $175 last summer. Every time we fine a player, though, it goes. There's no string to it. I used to think asmall fine—say $10 pe Tyee just as good as a hundred. Whenltried to make Anson believe it he blurted outin that bluff wey of his: ‘Not by ad—sight; make it something they'll remember. Touch em fora cool hun- dred or let em alone.’ Anson was right and I was wrong. I put those $25 fines on the boys last summer just toshow themIwas on to them, but they were worse, if anything, than before. I don’t like to fine the boys; I'd rather keep the discipline up some other way. Idon’t want them to think we pay them sal- aries with a rope to them, but hereafter, if it be necessary to fine any of them, it will not be 28. President Spalding will not lose Kelly if he can make any sort of reasonable terms with him. He is a valuable man in a club. he said, not only because he is a good player, but because he puts life in the gameand makes it interesting and amusing for the spectators. When bimselt, he is full of life and animation. He originates more new tricks than all the rest of the players put together, and he isa good man to steady young players and give them confidence in themselves.’’ Out in California. At San Francisco on December 26 the Louis- villes met with their first defeat in the twenty games they have played since they started on their tourfrom home. Their opponents were the Haverlys, the cLampions of the California League, and the score at the finish was 8 to 2. first inning, but failed to score afterwards. The Loulsvilles scored their two runs in the second inning, Hardie of the Chicagos caught cleverly for the win- ners. Meegan was batted hard, but the ten hits made were scattering. Foutz held the Haverlys down to fivesafe hits. On the same day the Knickerbockers defeated the Chron- icles by a score of 2 tol, although the latter had the valuadle services of Phenome nal“ Smith and Daly as pitcher and catcher. Note- worthy features were the fact of the winners making but one safe hit, while the losers made five, and that four of the players were named Smith, the left-handed twirler of that cognomen striking out seventeen men and being hit but once safely.

[New York Sun. Sporting Gossip. John Knifton announces his intention of fol- lowing Jem Smith to America and forcing him into a mill without gloves, Paddy Ryan is modest enough to declare that Sullivan was scared to death before the recent fight at San Francisco. Jimmy Mitchell is still waiting. None of the so-called light-weight champions have ac- cepted any of his numerous challenges. Edward McLaughlin, the Philadelphia bill- lard player, challenges J. Randolph Heiser to lay two games at 14-inch balx line, one in biladeiphia and one in Brooklyn. R. Gardner, who trained Jobnson for his race with Smith, says that Smith beat him be- cause he weakened, and that the day before the race, which Smith won in 12% seconds, Johnson ran the 125 yards in 12 seconds. Johnny Reagan, the Brooklyn light-weight, has poems two forfeite—one of $100 for a match with Jack McAuliffe, with or without gioves, London or Queensberry rules, for $500 to $1,000 a side, the other $60, for the match with Paddy Smith of cores any rules Smith desires. Reagan will meet either of these worthies and sign articles as soon as they cover his forfeits. Arthur Chambers says of Har Gilmore: He stopped at my house for nigh on to six months once. He is tall and long in the reach, and a devilish good one he is, too. He’s about as clever as they make ‘em, and he is stuck on being afighter. He’s a shoemaker by trade, and while he was with me he made me a pair of fighting shoes at a friend’s bench, K pass away the time. I tried to match im, but Icouldn''t get me! one to go against him at the time, so I sent him home to Can- ada. Arthur feels sure that Gilmore is a better man than McAuliffe. A Weak Back Kept Strong.

Auditor Walker this morning, when ap- proached by the PosT-DISPATOH correspon- dent on the subject of the Pollock charges,said: deny each and every charge mad e by Mr. Polloek, and have only to say that too much Whiskey, toomuch inattention to business and permitting his desk in the office to fall too far behind, are the causes of Mr. Pollock’s trouble. Further than this I have nothing to say at present. „Shall you ask for an investigation by the Legisiature * That will all be known in good time. At present I prefer to say nothing. Mr. John P. Sebree, warrant clerk in Mr. Walker’s office, stated that Mr. Walker holds Pollock’s — in full for his salary for every month of Pollcck’s service, and that the Auditor would consult his attorney before taking any further action in the matter. Senator McGinnis of St. Louis expressed the opinion this morning that action by the Sen- ate on the charges against Walker was very improbable, but he said that unless Walker asked foran investigation some member of the House would certainly move the appoint- ment of acommitteeto get at the bottom of the stories in circulation about the MANAGEMENT OF THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE. Pollock’s charges are the only specific ones made by any individual, but rumorsare cur- rent refiecting seriously upon Walker’s course as a Penitentiary Inspector in locating or at- tempting to locate the branch eager It is also said that Jim Turner, the enrolling clerk of the House, was my Eines pm by Walker, while employed in the latter’s office, and asked to surrender to Walker a portion of his salary, as it is claimed Pollock did. Persons who are men- tioned in such reports as having positive knowledge of the facts alieged, when approached upon the subject, either refuse to discuss the matter or deny all knowledge of it. Mr. Turner informed the PosT-DIsPATCH reporter this morning that he never paid Mr. Walker a cent, and that Mr. Walker never asked him for any portion of his salary. Sen- ators and Representatives are very much in- terested in ascertaining the truth ot the Pol- lock charges, and it is high! robable that the result of the discussion oF the subject will — an investigation by a legislative commit- 6. In the § te this — e Sena morning Senator Moran of St. Joseph firedthe first shot at prohibition and submission by the introduction of a reso- lution declaring in favor ofthe rights of the individual and against enlarging the domain of — er power. The object of the reso ution is 0 set the Democratic party on record as against prohibition and submission on the ground that local self-government is Democratic doctrine.

A banquet ‘will be given in his honor by the Municipal Council of the Irish National League at the Metropolitan Hotel next Monday evening.

How District Attorney Martine is Said to Have Made Duffy Squeal,. New YORK, January 11.—The Herald says: The story that Police Justice White, out of friendship for District Attorney Martine, se- eretly forced ex-Alderman Duffy into financial @ificuity and induced him to ‘‘squeal’’ on the boodlers“ tor a loan of $12,000, was de. mied by both Justice White and Mr. Martin ay. Mr. Martine said the —— relations Du recover through nis influence an amdavit which he had admitted his those who or — no e they are true or not, he is making use of these representations to further certain personal interests of a malodorous character Finley first came to London a year ago to sell $250,000 worth of ten-year 6 per cent deben- ture bonds of a concern at Washington, known asthe Anglo-American Insurance Company, ofwhich Wm. Bell, Jr., is President. Its offices were at 657 Purview street, and Mr. Fin- ley showed statements of assets of $660,000, of which $266,000 were in United States 4 per cent coupon bonds and $247,000 in United States 4% per cent bonds. There were among the further items in the table of assets one of $34,000 de- scribed as being in process of collection and $31,000 cash in the bank. Among the liabilities were $500,000 capital stock and $109,000 reinsur- ance fund. He represented that the company was making over 16 per cent per annum; that $250,000 worth of the stock could be pur- chased at par, and that the difference between 6 per cent and 15 per cent could be made each year. This was a most plausible story and Finley is a most plausible man. He formed the acquaintance of an Americam res- ident here who has a large and valuable busi- ness acquaintance and who unsuspectingly admitted him into close friendship. By that means he secured many valuable introduc- tions. He is a man of fine education, and be- ing over 6feet and weighing 240 pounds, he made everywhere amost favorable impres- sion. Through the generosity of his newly made unfortunate American friends, he was shown many social attentions and gained at once a position that few strangers can at- tain in London. He constantly made refer- ence to the former relations which he pro- fessed existed between himself and Mr. Til- den, saying that he had, in 1876, directed the expenditure of over $1,000,000 OF MR. TILDEN’S MONEY. He likewise frequently spoke of the confi- dential mission with which he asserts he has been intrusted by Secretary Bayard. Oneof the duties confided to him by tne latter was that of secretly inspecting the United States consulates and legations. To bankers and brokers he stated that he had been deputed by the United States Government to sound the London financiers on the silver question. He claimed, and is doing so now, to be onthe mostintimate terms of personal friendship with Mr. Cleveland, who he says has fre- quently sent for bim to consult with him inthe greatest secrecy on important affairs connected with the Government. He adds that the President had offered him the Governorship of either Wyoming or Alaska, whichever he might choose, but that he had refused both offices. He further deciares that the President has told bim he was very sorry he had not made him Solicitor of the Department of the Interior, or that if he wanted the Consul-Gen- eralship of Paris he could have it. He also claimed to have importaat work to do in Lon- don for the Alaska Seal Company, and he re- ceived for this alone a salary of $10,000 per annum. He made substantial progress in his efforts to sell the bonds of the Anglo-Ameri- can Insurance Company. He came with these bonds all ready for delivery. He had also many thousand shares of stock signed and sealed, ready for delivery as a bonus and commission for selling the debentures. He had also several blank sheets of foolscap paper signed at the bottom by the president and secretary of the company. He also had a pocket full of gilt seals with the seal of the company impressed thereon, ready to be affixed to any statement or document required. Finley’s representation had been made with such seeming truth and candor that the Lait was about to betaken by a syndicate here, when suddenly the American friend into whose favor he hadso cunningly ingratiated himself cabledto a gentleman at ashing- ton and received an answer which aroused suspicion. The negotiations were broken off much to the disgust of Finley. He bad gone so far and was so confident that he had cabled to his agsociates at Washington to draw on him for $20,000. These drafts came but were pro- tested and ina short time after the Anglo- American Insurance Company failed with no r assets excepting a few office chairs and desks. It wasaswindie from be- ginning to end. . AN IRREPRESSIBLE SWINDLER. This, however, did not deter Finley from making overtures in other directions, always veiling his intentions under the garb of a confidential agent of the Umited States Gov- ernment at Washington. He met, amon others, an American newspaper man name Jerome, and by promising to get him a Con- suishipin Italy, he procured an introduction to Cardinal Manning, whom Jerome knew in- timately. Finley, thereupon, had two lon interviews with the Cardinal, but was ove. dently unsuccessful, for, after his second visit, he declared the Car- Ginal only wanted to see him that he — convert him. 229 had a scheme for building a great Catholic University at Wash- ington and is believed to have tried to obtain money from the Cardinal. Shortly after this he attempted to raise a fund of $100,000 among the ship-builders of Great Britain to be sent to Washington to pay for the lobbying of certain measures, he, of course, to have charge of the distribution. His professed familiarity with the United States Government and his connec- tion with naval affairs have secured for him more than one invitation to inspect some of the ironciads recently completed here, and not long since he obtained a fee for going to Scot- land to give a legal opinion on the Territorial laws of the United States. It is upon these lines that Finley has been operating since he came here, and the United States Govern- ment certainly owes it to the English public to put a stop to it. The American gen- tleman here through whom he secured his first acquaintance in London feela deeply umiliated by Finley’s conduct. inley was received at his house and took a base advantage of the privileges thus afforded. One result of this was a per- sonal altercation on the street a few days since in front of the American Exchange, in which Finley was denounced as an imposter in the presence of a considerable number of gentiemen.

By Telegraph to the PostT-DIsPaTcu. NEw YoOrK, January II.— Lloyd M. Bingham left the house of Dr. G. 8. Little, Drury street, Brooklyn, where he was living with his moth- er and 4-year-old daughter, on the afternoon of December l4, and he has not been seen or heard of since. He was atthe store of Wood & Sellick, dealers in bakers and confection- ers’ supplies, where heis employed, the day before his disappearance. His accounts were not squared up, but his mother, who is wealthy, bad gone security for him and will make good any loss which he may have caused. Bingham was 23 years old. When he was 18 years old he was secretly married to a school- irl of 16, and for a year concealed the act. When his mother discovered this secret, she took his young wife to live with her and treated her very kindly until her death a year ago. and at present her son’s daughter is under the gentle mother’s protec- tion. Before Bingam went away he told Dr. Little he would not be back that night, but would positively return within three days. Mrs. Bingham did not learn of her son’s disap- pearance until hereturned to Brooklyn two weeksago. She at once communicated with two other sons. They at once began to search for the missing man, but so far have obtained no definite clue. On Sunday, however, they learned that a few nights after his disappearance he was with five or six men in @ saloon at Harlem playing poker, and that the game broke up n a row and that a simultaneous attack was made on their brother. They were engaged yesterday Te up this clue. Mrs. Bingham also re- ceived information which led her to suspect that her son had been in Buffalo a few days af- ter his disappearance and that he might be the unknown man who committed suicide by jumping from the bridge. Mrs. Bingham wrote to the police authorities at the Falls for articulars and an answer was returned stat- ng thatthe man who witnessed the suicide could only describe the man as tall and wear- ing dark clothes. The missing man was of a social disposition. He had considerable money when he disappeared. He could be easily identified by a picture of the Goddess of Liberty in India ink on bis left arm. —— SPECIAL NOTICE.

THEY DIDN’T LIKE HIM, The Residents of Wellesburg Rejoice Over the Departure of an Unpopular Citizen. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCcH. BINGHAMTON, N. T., January 11.—A. P. Nich- olls is School Commissioner of Chemung County, and by various acts since last sum- mer made himself very unpopular in the village of Wellesburg, where he lived. His first offense was his horse-whipping on the street of Julia McGraw, a young woman whom he charged with having shown him too much familiarity. That aroused eat indignation against him in Wellesburg. he principal of the village school, Frank Gray, is a very popular man. His popularity made Nich- Olis jealous of him. Nicholls attempted to remove the teacher against the unanimous voice of the trustees. This action increased the feeling against Nicholis in Wellesburg, and the people generally made it so unpleasant for him that he \concluded to remove his office and family to Horseheads. When this was learned a few days ago, the Board of Village Trustees called a special — aye and adopted unanimously the fol- owing: Whereas, A. P. Nicholls has made himself obnoxious to this board and the citizens of Wellesburg; and, é Whereas, Said Nichells proposes to remove from our village; Resolved, That we are heartily glad of it and hereby tender a vote of thanks and sympathy to the community that accepts him as a resident. Nicholls then revoked Gray’s certificate and left Wellesburg with his family. A large crowd of people followed him to the cars and saw him off with shouts and cries of derision. Cannons were fired all day and the village bells were rung to denote the general joy. At night an efligy of Nicholls was carried on a stretcher through the streets escorted by a r of men carrying torches and by a te and drum corps. After parading with the efligy until late at night, it was taken to the office formerly occu ied by Nicholis, where it was burned. The demonstrations of joy over the departure of the unpopular commissioner were indulged in by the residents of Welles- burg generally. A NOVEL LAW POINT, Justices Cannet Commit a Defendant With- out Hearing Evidence. CHICAGO, January 11.—Frank R. Nagle, alias Harry OC.

His counsel secured his release yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus on a point of law as novel as it was effective. Nagle had waived examination before a Justice and had been committed with- out farther parley.
