Miss Quinn Holds It for a Debt and It Wins Her Affection. Arepleyin suit was decided in favor of the Plaintiff this morning in Judge Ryan’s court 2 through the failure of the defendant to appear or make answer. The parties to the suit were O. J. Stanton, a circus man, Miss Ida Quinn and a Mexiean dog. The dog was the didputed property and was claimed by and awarded to Mr. Stanton. From that gen- r story it nppecss that his business was that of a performer ina cirens, and owirg to the lowness of the temperature which is con- — unta voradble to the itinerant show, Mr. nton had considerable leisure and a hair- less Gog on his hands. It was his custom to spend some of his idle moments basking in e smiles and other evidences of Miss Quinn’s od nature. Miss Quinn resides at Tenth and he streets. By some means not stated in the writ of replevin Mr. Stanton became indebted to Miss Quinn, and that oon A seized and held the Mexican dog. There had been a little woot of sentiment running through the web ofcommercial relationship existing between ©. J. and ida, andthe lady, from sogneding the greaser canine simply as a chattel, grew to find in him a responsive affection that in some small measure compen- sated for her master’s absence, with the additional and consoling reflection that his market : vaine also offset the balance due on the running account. When the constabie invaded the premises the dog was wrapt in a dainty blanket and sleeping on the lady’s knee like a winning pedestrian Slowly covering his lastiaps. Ida wept — ously at the enforced separation, but justice being blind threw out the consideration of affection and awarded the pup to its masculine owner. MATTERS IN COURT.

Boulanger’s OrderEarthqtake in France — Violent Snowstorms in Scotland—The Stanley Ex- pedition— Foreign News. Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. London, January 17.—The report of the Royal Commission on the depression of trade appears this morning. The commissioners are by no means of one mind. They have issued three separate reports. With the ex- ception of one report, signed by the so-ealled fair traders, the dissentient reports are not important, the signérs ot them considering that the majority bas taken too favorable a view of the case. The conclusions reached are somewhat peculiar. It istrue, the commis- sioners say, that there has been depression of trade, but this is nota National calamity, in- asmuch asthe Nation has been the gainer, while special trades and industries have suf- fered. Furthermore, trade depression, it is shown by different kinds of statistics, exists not so much among the laboring, poorer classes as among the capitalists. THE CAUSES which have contributed to bring about the depression, as set forth by the witnesses, are thus summarized: 1. Over-production. 2. The Continuous fall of prices caused by appreciation of the standard of value. 8. The effect of foreign tariffs, bounties and the restrictive commercial policy of foreign countries in limiting our markets. 4. Foreign competition, which we are de- ginning to feel, both in our own and neutral markets. 5. Increase in local taxation and burdens on industry generally. 6. Cheaper rates of carriage énjoyed by our foreign competitors. 7. Legisiation affecting the employment of labor in industrial undertakings. 8. Superior technical education of workmen in foreign countries. THE CRISIS has been unusually prolonged and has affect. ed some trades and industries much more severely than others. Agriculture has been the chief sufferer. Textile manufactures of all kinds come next on the list, but it does not appear that there has been any falling off in the volume of our foreign trade in the amouat of capital engaged in it, in the accu- mulation of capital throughout the country, generally, or in the aggregate commodities produced for home and foreign consumption. The complaint has been rather of excessive production. In many departments producers have been forced, in consequence, to submit to lower prices and lower profits. The chief features of the commercial tion are thus summed up: A. A very serious falling off in the exchange: | able value of produce of the soil. B. Increased production in nearly all other classes of commodities. ©. Atendency in the supply of commodities to outrun the demand. D. Consequent diminution in profit obtaina- ble by production. E. Asimilar diminution in the rate of inter- est on invested capital. Situa- England. IDDESLEIGH AND CHURCHILL. The Rev. Walter Stafford Northcote, son of the late Karl of Iddesieigh, in an interview to- day with a representative of the Associated Press, denied that his father has had any quar- rel with Lord Randolph Churchill, and de- olared that no animosity existed between them. Mr. Northcote confirmed the statement that the Earl of Iddes- leigh had acted as peace- maker between Lord Randoiph Churchill and Lord Salisbury, and said that but for the intervention of his father, Lord Randolph would not have remained in the Cabinet as long as he did. Mr. Northcote said he had received a very kind letter of con- dolenoe from Lord Randoſpu Churchill. Scotland. VIOLENT SNOW STORM.

These will be distributed wherever the order is given to mobilize troops, and the officials will be required to produce them whenever they present themselves at the war office 80 as to prevent the ingress of strangers. M'LANE’S REMARKS. In his remarks about the French army at the banquet to celebrate the capture of York- town, Saturday night, United States Minister McLane, addressing Gen. Boulanger, said; Lou ought to be proud, General, to be at the head of this national institution, and France should congratulate herself upon the fideli and intelligence which you display in the ful- Alm ent of your great duties.’ BARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.

CuIcaGo, January 17.—The statement is made here that Mr. P. D. Armour, after van- quisbing the Knights of Labor in their battle over the eight-hour day, has thrown down the gauntlet to the Bricklayers’ Union, and an in- teresting struggle is now going on in conse- quenee. The trouble arose over Mr. Armour’s action in regard to the bricklayers on some of his stock-yards work. After en- gaging Chris Garey, a member of the un op as his foreman, by the year, Mr. Armour insisted on the men working ten hours. Garey endeavored to enforce the or- der, wLéh the rest of the bricklayers struck. Garey’s case came before the union at once and he was fihed Foo, which he has refused to pay, atthe same time declining to appear and defend himself. The bricklayers were then called off ali the bulldings in whose construc- tion Mr. Armour was interested except the Armour Mission, which the union excepted on ace unt ofits character. Since theu a number of bricklayers—just how many is in question— have been imported from the country and put to work at ten hours. These men are kept seciuded, and all efforts of the union to reach them to oall them off the jobs have proved fruitiess. The walking delegate who made the final attempt was arrested and taken to the town hall, but was immediately re- leased, as no charge would bold against him for merely being in the building. As the union has withdrawn from the Trades Assem- bly, no — can be gained from that source, and the union finds itself powerless thus far. ‘‘Armour’s action means simply that he is beginning the fhght against eight hours to help the contractors, who dare not do it them- selves,’’ saida member of the union to-day. lle is going to import enough men here on his work to give the contractors a force with which to start the war upon the union again and try to beat us out of our eight hours.’’ The Coal Handlers’ Strike. New YORK, January 17.—The situation in the coal handlers’ strike is practically un- changed. The reported concerted action by the different companies to commence this — — handling coal with new men has been deferred. That concerted action is Intended is undoubted, but owing to the inability of some of the companies to zet new men the at- tempt has been postponed for a few days.

When Black Brothers went to take possession of the mine they were forcibiy ejected from the premises. They returned in the evening, re- enforced by several triends, and attempted t o take possession by forve. A regular pitched battle was the result, during which a man named Sterling was severely beaten with a clubover the head and probabiyfatally injured. Several others on both sides were badly hurt by thrown stones before the Biacks withdrew to continue the fight in the courts. * Carondelet Jottings.

Mr. Trumbull represented the railroad com- pany and argu that the 88 States was not concerned in the suit, having ceded the lands in question to the State in 1836.

Yesterday's Reading From Ben Hur” in Unien Methodist Church, Around the preachers’ meetings to-day there was some talk about Gen. Wallace and his novel Ben Hur.“ The Presbyterians discussed him and his book informally and passed favorable comment on doth. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o’ clock Gen. Wallace read the crucifixion scene from Ben Hur’’ at Union Methodist Church. The audience was large and Dr. Felton introdyced the author, who read the selection, after which a solo was sungin the choir gallery, and then a col- lection was takén up for the poor. THE PREACHERS TALE. As the Presbyterians came out of their meet- ing several were asked by a Post-DISPATCH reporter as to whether they considered the reading from a novel in a Christian pulpit under Christian auspices and on the Sabbath as in harmony with Christian expediency and propriety. N Rev. George P. Wilson at first sald It de- pends on the novel, and then added that he did not believe it a good plan to encourage suchathing. In this expression Rev. Wm. Porteus coincided. Both paid high tributes to the book and man, but they couldn’t look with favor upon the reading from the novel. A BAPTIST VIEW. Rev. W. H. Wiitliaws, D. D., editor of the Central Baptist, was even stronger in his coen- demnation. I do not object to the gathering of licht on the great scene of the crucifixion from collateral historical sources, but it is very different when a man lets loose his imagination as the author does in Ben Hur.“ Rev. W. T. Russell of the Fourth Bantist Church when asked whether he _ indorsed the novel reading of yesterday said emphat- icaHy, ‘‘N6, Ido not. CAREFUL METHODISTS. The Methodist ministers, however, were very careful about expressing any opinion on that matter. Rev. Mr. Neff listened carefully, and then said he would not say anything; so did Rev. Mr. Hagerty. Rev. Mr. Marlatt believed that was a matter for the individual church itself to settle and he wouldn't intrude. The others interviewed held that the religious character of the novel would ‘‘nihilize’’ any objection. Rev. W. W. Dowling, the Christian editor, said it opened up the whele question of whether it was right to have such a lecture in the House of God at all. If the reading from the novel yesterday was not in connection with any regular religious ser- vice, he could not see that it was wrong. Rev. J. M. Trible, the new pastor of Central Christian Church, did not care to express an opinion on the matter, but inclined to the belief that the offense was not very great. So far as the ‘*novel’’ side was concerned, he facetiously remarked that some sermons are very novel. FUTURE PROBATION. There was a smell of brimstone around the Methodist headquarters at Eleventh and Olive streets this morning, the ministers having the future probation doctrine on the table for discussion. Dr. C. K. Felton presented the ten points on which the advocates of the doc- trine base their belief. He took no ground, but simply put the points before the meeting. Among the arguinents Dr. Felton spoke of were three, namely, that eternal punishment is incon- sistant with the Biblical idea of God; that we are prejudiced by our 1 opinion of the meaning of sheol and the interpreta- tion made of the word’ ‘‘aionion,’’ and that there exists a hope that it may not be as hard in the future as the old school teaches. Dr. Foy began the discussion, opposing the doctrine on the ground that the bible taught it. Dr. Koeneke ofthe First German rather clung toa beliefina literal hell with physical n. 2 regular body durner. Rev. , ; agerty unt ‘the An- dover theorists a hard rap by saying he didn’t believe any Christian man wants future probation, but that only those fellows advocated it who wished to go on with their sins. Rev. W. T. Neff went in for an inter- mediate state in which the soul remained until the resurrection. OTHER MEETINGS. The Presbyterians were visited by Rev. H. S. Williams and conferred on the question of a chaplain for city institutions and resolved to decide next Monday as to how much the Presbyterian Church would contribute. The Baptists heard a paper from Dr. J. 8. Greene on the Manner of Conductin Mural Schools in Churches. ev. ; W. Harvey, an African missionary, and Rev. Frederick Howard of Tefinesses were present as visitors. The Christians had A paper by Rev. W. W. Hopkins on Name Making.’’ The Southern Methodist deeided to pay $120a year to Rev. A. H. MacPariand for preaching once a month to the deaf mutes at the First Church. They also agreed to do their share in supporting the city chaplain, SONS OF HERMANN, „ Biennial Meeting of the State Grand Lodge Held To-Day.

Mr. Fraley retired from the business two vears later, since which time Mr. Polack has conducted the business alone. Three years ago he removed to his present stand. In speaking of the failure this morning Mr. Fraley, who has been the intimate friend of Mr. Polack through the years that have inter- vened since the dissolution of their partner- ship, said that it was dué to the distruction of Mr. Polack’s credit by malicious report. ‘He has made many enemies during his business experience and they have reported him in a failing condition for the last twenty yeats. As a result each season when he has gone East to buy he had bought at higher prices than his competitors. Competition, too, cut down profits here. Joe has always deen square and has gone along from year to year under these disadvantages. He has often been compelled to borrow money whet others have been able to buy on time and cheaper than he. e Mr. Jones of Krum & Jonas, the attorneys in the matter, said thatthe immediate cause of the failure was the refusal of the Commercial Bank to carry the debt an longer. Mr. Polack had made no money, an as the bank was pressing him, he had decided to confess judgment in favor of his confi- dential debts. Mr. Jonas said that in his opinion the assets would ful liquidate all claims. The business ha been conducted honorably ; nothing had been taken away, and the closing would bave in it no element of fraud. He did not think Mr. Polack had formulated hie inten- tions for the future. If the creditors had been inthe East and in the line ot the trade he thought there would have been no difficulty in arranging an extension and continuing the 1322 as the assets were in such good con- ition. A. call was made at the store, on the door of which were posted two large piacards marked ‘‘closed.’’ A deputy sheriff was inside and a clerk of Mr. Polack’s looked through the giass and grimly shook his head, refusing to open the door or reply to the questions that were screamed above the rattle of the granite pavement. at Fourth and Olive THE FLOUR RATE, Willers Will Wait for the Interstate Com- merce Bill—Railroad News.

About 1 o’elock, however, a conference was held and it was decided that in view of the probability that the interstate commerce bill would be passed this week the question had better be allowed to rest for a time. The chief complaint made by the tillers is of the 10-cent rate made between Minneapolis and Chicago. If the interstate commerce bill becomes a law the rate be- tween Minneapolis and Chieago will have to be advanced or a serious loss made on ail io- cal freight. The Central Traffic Association will meet In Chicago Wednesday to consider the subject of rates and differentials. | The cotton committee will meet Thursday in Chicago at Commissioner Blanchard’s office. This is the meeting which was adjourned from Louisville to this city and again to Ohicago owing to the impossibility of some of the mem- bers attending. It is held for the pu e of effecting dome arrangement by which Memphis will be brought into the pool. The négotiations which have been carried on between the Missouri Central and the Kan- sas City Short Line, and which are outlined elsewhere by Mr. Waugh, will be submitted to the directors of each road at meetings to be held on February 1, when the deal will be set- tled. Protests are being received now by the officials of the roads from those sections which are thought to be in danger of being left out in the cold in the final transfer or consolidation.

It has been and still is rumored and reported, that the said Hon.

He was tried and in the first degree about five years was granted a new trial because Judge Laugh- Un of the Criminal Court, after calling in Judge Burton of Nevada totry the case, set aside his order and tried it himself.

Mr. ADAMs should cor- rect his statement. AMONG the names reported as forgeries on the voting lists of the First Ward are the names of two persons given as resid- ing at 106 South Tenth street. The un- bounded impudence of the forgers is shown by the fact that this is a black- | «mith shop owned and run by an indus- trious citizen named EDWARD BUTLER, who would be the first to resent the imputation of any connection with illegal voting.

A fair assessment of the latter would greatly reduce the burden of State debt and taxation. 0 -_ _ 7.

The New York Wor.Lp’s investigation of Pacific Railroad accounts is producing a great deal of squirming among the ad- vocates of the Pacifio Funding bill.

This is Mr. Norwoop of Georgia also made a personal explanation to the House on Saturday which proves that those are sur- WoORLD’S Pacific Railroad accounts with fraud. The and the name of T. M. he arose in the House and stated that the fees charged as paid to him by the Central Pacific were for services which he ren- dered to the Southern Pacific in its fight with the Texas Pacific in 1878, a year after his term in the United States Senate had expired. He said he never had, in any shape, any connection with the Central Pacific or Union Pacific, and that he did not-know how the fees he received from the Southern Pacific came to be charged as expenditures of the Central Pacific. It is believed that the Southern Pacific was built with the earnings of the Central Pacific, and this Norwood charge seems to offer a very suggestive clew to the kind of financiering and book-keeping by which the Government has been swindled and the earnings of the subsidized roads con- verted to the use of those who have man- aged them. — — — — — — THE DUTY OF THE COURT. The revelations of the PostT-DISPATCH showing up the election frauds in St.Louis have only begun, but they have gone far enough to indicate the extent and mons- trosity of the crimes which disgraced the last election in this city, and which throw their black shadow over the preceding election. The crimes include forgery, perjury, repeating, the impersonation of dead men and straw voters, the proscription of legal voters, the stuffing of ballot-boxes, false counting, false returns, and every form of iniquity and rascality known to the gang of habitual criminals, who have success- fully carried on their nefarious business in St. Louis. por Yet when the existence of such crimes has been demonstrated beyond question, we hear reputable newspapers expressing the opinion that the State Grand-jury should take no notice of them; that the Prosecuting Attorney should confine his attention to the ‘‘jail cases“ of small thieves, and that the Judge cannot try these election cases because he was elected at the election when these crimes were committed. If the State court cannot punish these outrageous and nefarious crimes the peo- ple of St. Louis would like to know what the court is here for. , — =~ — 4 — OLEOMARGARINE LAW. When our statute prohibiting the manu- facture, sale or keeping for sale of oleo- margarine was enacted, it had been dem- onstrated that no less sweeping law would protect the people from the frauds and the hurtful compounds which made up a large part of the oleomargarine trade. As no, State law could regulate interstate commerce, the bogus-butter trade could easily evade any State law which stopped short of prohibiting the manufacture or sale of the article. But the new United States law subject- ing the manufacture and sale of substi- tutes for butter to the close supervision of the Internal Revenue Bureau, and mak ing ample provision against fraud in the traffic and against the sale of unwhole- some Compounds, has entirely changed the situation. The reason for utterly prohib- iting the traffic is removed, and our law now operates only to deprive our citizens of the benefits of an honest, open, well- regulated trade in a cheap and wholesome article of food, carefully inspected by United States officers and sold for what it is. Under the guarantees afforded by the new regulation a great many are inclined to use the article on account of its cheap- ness as compared with the best butter and Last Saturday’s article, was followed that same day by the action of the House Committee on the Pacifio Railroads, resolution for an investigation of the mother of structions to take up the mortgage upon her property and get a receipt from her. took but afew minutes, and Wittrock, who is now in the Missouri Penitentiary, has the sat- istaction of knowing that he accomplished exactly what he set out to do. by the express company is said to have been in pursuance of an agreement entered into by the detectives with Wittrock. ber goes to prison after having effected a financial transaction which was the one aim of his life. about five years support him during that time, the sum that his motherreceives from the express company will make the robber’s earnings, over and above his living, alittle less than $400 a year, which is better than anything that he has yet done in the way of making money. not compounding a felony, what is it? elected, has met with stillrich, and is heartand soul with the cor- porations. wealth, what is their worth as legislators?

This was done, not through any hostility towards the good people of Springfield, who stood looking on in helpless amaze, but merely as a strategic move in afeud with the Duke de San Francisco, who was getting ready to seize the street for his railroad.

N state Senator Castleman mistakes the tem- per of the Missouri people very much if he thinks they will ratify his proposed consti- tutional amendment which requires all rail- roads to furnish free passes to members of the Legislature and State officers. It may be that passes are accepted now in violation of the law, and it may be that the compulsory pro- vision which be proposes would relieve State officers and legislators from all sense of ob- ligation to the railroads; but the people will not look at the matterin the same philosoph- ical way Senator Castleman has adopted. They will continue to insist that State officers and legislators shall be free from obligation to the railroads,and that those who violate this prin- ciple shall be subject to the obloquy which a violation of the law puts upon them. The Bay State’s Boast. From the Boston Herald. It is cause for congratulation that, in the heated contest for the United States Senator- ship that is going on in Massachusetts, nota dollar has been used, or issuspected of being used, to aid the election of either candidate. This in itself would seem to be no great virtue; but when we compare it with what we hear of the millionaire contentions of the West, and even of a State so near as is New York, it shows the Old Bay State to be firm in her moor- ings to the rock of integrity. There is plenty ot money in Massachusetts, but she has never had a millionaire candidate for the United States Senate at any period in her history, and there is not now the slightest encouragement for any such candidate to present himself. Speaker Carlisle is Willing. From an Interview in the Ceurier-Journal.

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New Tonk, January 17.—The WORLD says: It is good news that the President is acquaint- ing himself with the history of the Pacific roads’ dealings with the Government, and ex- pressing a purpose to do something to pro- tect the people's interest in this connection. Mr. Huntington has observed that it was his duty to ‘protect his property,’ and he jauntily remarks that the unexplained disbursement of $2,000,000 of one of the companies’ monty in the effort to ‘sce that its position received no damage’ from the ‘Legislative, Judi- cial and Executive branches of the Government’ was quite necessary, and but a mere bagatelle considering the interests at stake. No doubt, but what about the people’s interest, now amounting to nearly $150,000,000? Who is to protect that? The President, as the chief executive officer of the Government, cer- tainly hasadutyto perform in this matter. His Administration needs for its success at least one energetic and successful example of ring-breaking—one such deep sinking of the reform plowshare as Gov. Tilden illustrated at Albany. The Pacific Railroads’ desperate determination to have their own way and avoid payment has made fifty millionaires of their officers and has made just the opportu- nity for a real reform President to protect the people’s interest.’’ THE SUN. The Sun says: There ought to be no more Republican office-holders in the Post-omee Department than are sneaked into 9 their Chinese mightiness, and the Civil Service Commissioners. We had supposed that the Wisconsin fall elections had etched this fact into the Postmaster-General’s manner. If he as waiting for additional evidence, apparently he can find plenty of it in the complaints of Southern Democrats about the inefficiency of the mail service. A little letter of dismissal to the Republican office- holders in his depart- ment should be the first step forward remedy- ing the bungling service complained of. And really, it’s not worth while to spoil the mail service and sour the Democratic party just for the sake of keeping in office a few thousand ungrateful Republicans. THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: Mr. Randall and his friends in the House are going to meet in Washington to-night to see! —— cannot con- trive some way to get the Randall patchwork tariff bill considered. They seem to count upon a measure of Republican support. They WII — 14 — it. The Republicans are com- petent to me and introduce tariff measures of their own in Congress when they get ready, and few ifany ofthem will be willing to help fly the Randall kite. A long and fruit- less debate on the tariff and internal revenue matters would only disturb the business for nothing. THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘The attention of the Legislature has been called to the curious con- dition ofthe law regulating the liability of railroad corporations in case of the death of a ussenger or ye my through negligence. ‘ot only is $5,000 the limit of the Hability, but where money has been paid for injuries, and these injuries result afterward in death, noth- ing more can be obtained. The bili to which we have already referred increases the limit of the liability in case of death to §$10,- 000, and provides that where compenga- tion has been made for injuries the fact may be pleaded in —— of damages, but cannot be pleaded as a bar to further claim in case of death. Even this bill does not fully cover the subject. There is no more reason for a limit to damages in case of death than in the case of injuries. The loss to the parties in interest may vary as much in one instance asintheother. What is most needed, how- ever, is a law throwing the burden of proof upon any corporation pleading in case of actual injury that its employes and agents were guilty of no negligence.’ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The Sad Event a Surprise in Military and Naval Circles—The General’s llness~ Fatal Exposure at the Logan Obsequies— Career of the Dead Soldier—Gen. Hazen’s Exposure of the Howgate Frauds. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPATcu. WASHINGTON, January 17.—A sensation was created in army and social circles last evening by the news of the sudden and unexpected death, at 8 o’clock, of Brig.-Gen. Wm. B. Hazen, the Chief Signal Officer of the army. His illness became serious only yesterday morning. He was atthe President’s reception Thursday evening and appeared at that time to be in good health. He caught then a severe cold. The cold resulted ina congestion of the kid- neys. He has been troubled some time with a complication of Bright's disease and diabetes. There were nd outward indications of his not being in good health. About six weeks ago there was some talk of his retiring permanently from the Signal Service Bureau on account of his health. He did retire temporarily, but improved 80 rapidly that he felt confident that he could regain‘his health. His condition has never been consigered serious. About the lst of December last his house on K street was given up by him. His wifeand family then went to Europe and are now in Franee. Mrs. Hazen was notified by cable last evening. The General took quarters at a private lodging- house at 1307 F street, where he died. He un- duly exposed himself at the Logan funeral without any apparent ill-effects. He was one of the few who went out in the driving rain and sleet to the cemetery, where he stood about in the slush with head uncovered during the final ceremonies at the tomb. OFFICIAL INFORMATION. Information of Gen. Hazen’s death was con- veyed immediately by Col. Huntington and Capt. Greely to the Secretary of War who communicated the sad intelligence to the President. The General of the Army, who was advised of the death by telegraph, will be conferred with by Capt. Greely in behalf of Gen. Hazen’s family, as to the military honors to be paid the deceased. Owing to the delicate condition of Mr. MeLean's health, the fu- neral will take place from St. John’s Church. There were present at thetime of his death Mrs. Washington McLean, Mr. and Mrs. Bugher (the latter his wife’s sister), Capt. Greely, who had been with him daring the entire day, Lieut. Thompson and Drs. Hunt- ington, Harvey and Lincoln. The remains were taken in charge by Lieut. Thompson, an officer of Gen. Hazen’s old regiment. BIOGRAPHY. Gen. Hazen was born in West Hartford, Vt., September 27, 1880. His parents removed to Odlo in 1888. He was tall, broad-shouldered, with a round, well-developed figure. His features were regular, his color fresh, like that of aman who enjoyed good health. His forehead was broad and high; his eyes a clear gray; his nose was straight. The lower part of his face was ornamented with a flowing brown mustache and imperial. Gen. Hazen was noted for his aggressiveness. He never appeared to be happier than when engaged in a personal controversy. His fight with Gen. Stanley is one of the most noted chapters of his military career. charged him with cowardice battle of Shiloh, claiming that he deserted his command in the face of the enemy. Gen. Hazen disproved these charges. He was sent asthe representative ofthe War Department to Europe during the Russo-Turkish war, be- ing atthat time attached to our embassy at Vienna. On account of the revival of the Stanley scandal against him, he was recalled, His record as a soldier was considered by the best men in the army to be good, but his fondness for personal controversies has kept him in constant hot water for many years. He has had a number of contests with vari- ous Secretaries of War. He had a quarrel with Secretary of War Lincoln, over the man- agementofthe Signal Service Bureau. Lin- coln tried to get the bureau put out of the army 80 as to take Hazen with it. But Hazen defeated him. Lincoln also ES upon Hazen the responsibility for the lure of the Greely Arctic expedition. Hazen was tried by court-martial, upon questions growing out of this 7 and was acquitted. His most noted service to the Government was his exposure of the Howgate fraudsin the Signal Service Bureau. Gen. Hazen’s predecessor in command of this bureau was Gen. Myers, a very honest, upright, incompetent and ab- sent-minded officer. He left the affairs of the bureau in the hands of his subordinates, and through this carelessness Lieut. Howgate be- came the virtual chief of the Signal Service. THE HOWGATE FRAUDS. Capt. Howgate originated the plan of an ex- —— to the North Pole, through the estab- ishment of stations. With this hobby in hand, he disbursed enormous sums forthe carrying out of his idea and for the entertainment of his friends. Capt. Howgate built a yacht with the Signal Service funds inthe very yard of the bureau without attracting the attention of Gen. Myers. Mr. — had two families und two separate establishments at Washing- ton. His defalcations ran up over $30,000. It never was known just how much money he had taken from the Signal Service funds for his private entertainment. He was involved with so many officials that they con- nived at his escape after he was arrested. Gen. Hazen was very energetic in expusing this fraud after he assumed charge of the office, and he was very active in pushing for- ward Howgate’s punishment. Howgate escaped, and although he has been heard of at different times throughout the country, he has never been captured. There has been no real effort ever made to get him except by Mr. Lincoln when he was Seere of War. Gen. Hazen ia a cousin of Mrs. R. B. Hayes and a brother-in-law of John R. McLe editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer. was the daughter of Washington McLe was appointed a cadet at West Point from Ohio, on September 1, 1851. He saw arduous service in the Indian campaign until the late war, when, in May, 1861, he was appointed Captain of the Eighth Infantry. He was then made Colonel of the Forty: first Ohio Infantry United States Volunteers. He was mad Brigadier-General November 29, 1862, breveted Major-General, and commissioned December 1 . He was given the brevet of Major- General in the regular army Match 13, , and wen the command of the Thirty-eighth In- antry, with the rank and grade of Colonel, July 28, 1866. He was transferred to the Sixth Infantry, Maroh 15, 1869. He was made Chief Signal Officer, with the rank of Srigadier. General, December 5, 1880, Which ion he has held ever since A NOTABLE CAREER. His career during the war was a notable one. He took command of the Nineteenth Brigade, Army of the Ohio, at the battle of Pitteburg Landing. The services of his in the battle of stone River were entre valuable. In September, 1865, he took the battle of Ohickamaugd under n. Thomas, where he fought with great galiant- ry, and where his brigade was the last — zed command to leave the field.

In the end Col. Prescott marries Rachel, who has loved him all the time. A vein of comedy runs through the play furnished by Susan and Thomas Henry Bean, a special artist, who In the end marry. These areinthe rough the materials out of which the play is constructed. It is at least thoroughly American, not a character which is not native to the soll being introduced. The war is not treated in a partisan spirit, a good word being spoken for both sides by the dit ferent characters in the play. There is noth- ing except blue coats and the fact that two Southern girls marry two Northern men very soon after the war to arouse the ire of moss back Southerners. The latter fact, however seems a bit Improbable when one consider the feeling of Southern women at the time but it is made natural in the development o the play. The war is only the background for the lov story and furnishes the éxciting incidents an climaxes. It is nota great play either from literary or a dramatic po ofview,but itisa entertaining one. It is skilfully cofstructed with the mechanism sticking out here an there but not glaringly, with several incongrui ties and artificial situations, but alto- gether interesting and entertaining. Tha attention of the audience is not allowed to flag from the beginning tothe end. One incident follows another in rompt and spirited succession and the cur- in falls on well wrought climaxea. And yet there is littie depth to the piece and when it is over the impression is rather that made bya clever entertainment than a powerful play. The comedy is not always bright from a liter- ary standpoint, some of the lines beiag post- tively silly, Susan particularly in the last act talking more as a precocious child would than a young lady of any breeding at all, but itis sustained by clever and amusing business and some really good lines. The handling of the production, its con- struction and its effects are ailfine. In the third act the booming of the cannon and rattling of the hoofs of galloping horses as officers and orderlies ride up and rush into Col. Prescott’s headquarters, covered wit the blood and dust of battle, are admirab and realistio effects. The cast, while there is no chance for great acting and there are no great actors in it, is even and excellent, each part being artistically and effectively 1. Geo. R. Parks as Col. Prescott and J. E. Kelierdas Lieut, Hayne were effect. ive throughout, Mr. Kellerd’s impersonation of the wounded spy being full of impressive realism. Chas. W. Stokes as Gen. Stamburg, M. McDowell as Brigade-Surgeon Fletding were good. The part of Bean the artist was fairly well taken by Chas. 8. Dickson, as was that of Uncle Rufus by Harry Woodson. Mrs. Fatren was thoroughly artistic as Euphemia McCreery and Miss Daisy M. Dorr made sweet, attractive and ye aie, — part of Rachel McCreery. Miss Louise Dillon was capital Susan magne port her Southern accent ane — of girlish boldness and saucines making an individual and original character of it. The play scored an undoubted hit with the audience, the curtain being called up aftez every act. | The merit of Woman Against Woman,“ Effie Elisier’s play, which was presented at the Grand last night, lies in its natural pictures of life, ite easy but strong de- velopment of the story and its powerful appeal to the emotions of the audience. There is a home scene which might have been taken direct from real life, it is so natural, And then Effie Elisier herself is such a thorough artiste and has such depth of emotional power. Be- ginning quietly and working gradually to the climaxes, she sweeps her audience irresistibly with her, and she wins the tribute of ove thetic tears always. Her Bessie Barton is splendid of work, while she is admirabi supported by Mr. Weston, Miss Mattie Ear! and a strong company. The upper part of the Peonle’s Theater was acked last night with only a fair audience be- ow for the opening performance of John A. Stevens and his company in 4 Great Wrong Righted.’’ The play, which was given here last year, is a — sensational melo- drama which is presented by one of the best companies Mr. Stevens bas bad, and the thrill- ing incidents brought out In a way that brings down the house. r. Russell in the comedy part of Moses Shadrick made a hit and the play went smoothly. e“¢ eorgie Melnotte’s minstrels opened at the 908420 last nicht to a packed house and gave a programme which entertained tha audience.

Underthe head are in- cluded typhoid and typhus fevers, diphtheria, scarlet fever and that large number it gradually, ars, if not a, — fevers classed as malarial. In Europe and in some localities in this country the sanitary measures for the regulation of these diseases and their causes are perfect, Illinois for je is a model in this respect. Missouri, en thb other band, is almost defenseless, and tuat is the point made in the board’s report. every portion of the State there are causes of disease existing which could be stamped out at light expense, but the lack of a com- repension of the matter insome cases, and — ignorant but no less stubborn opposition in others, is tending to retard the discovery of these causes and the application of the rem- . OUTSIDE OF sr. LOUIS there are not more than a half dozen Boards of Health in all the counties and cities of the state of Missouri. There should be one in every county of the State. The State Board in its report has recom- mended the passage of an act provid- ing for their establishment and support. A disease may Startin any Count and be com- municated to the entire State. It requires no remarkable ability to understand that if the cause bad been removed the contagion would pot have been inaugurated. A case in point pappened last summer at Kansas City, when the residents of an entire locality were at- tacked by dysentery. Dr. Griffith of the board instituted an inquiry and found the cause to be bad ice cut from near the mouth ofa count, and containing the gers of the disease. I there had been an inspector of material there as the act recommended to the Legislature provides, that ice would have been con- demned and that local epidemic would have been prevented. As it is, its repetition is guarded against, but there are localities all over the State where such things happen and recur and no report is mace through the lack via local machinery for the collection of the information.’’ “You were speaking, Doctor, of the perfeo- tion of the Illinois arrangements. “Yes. Isaid they were models, The State Board there hasthe conndence of the people and ot the Legisiature. It is different here. The lilinois board hasan annual appropriation ot $6,000 for expenses, and a contingent fund of 4.000 at their command. Last spring as soonas the weather permitted they madea complete sanitary inspection of the State, start- ing at the south and working north as the season advanced until every house in the State had been visited and a complete record of its condition made. Nuisances were ordered re- moved and all visible cause of disease eradi- cated. A month later a second inspection was made to see if all rules had been complied with. This thorough renovation had its effect, and a most marked decrease of the zymotic dizeases and deaths from them was noted during the following summer as compared with preceding ones. IN THE EVENT ofthat State being threatened with outside contagios or diseases to her stock this fund und the efficient board make an immediate quarantine possible. Missourihas nothing of this kind. Her first State board was created in April, 1883. There was an appropriation of % 000 for its expenses and $34,000 was collected from registration fees of | ge es This was exhausted by that board and the pres- ent board which organized July 2, 1885, found no money whatever to work with. s was collected by fees during 1885, and 89 was realized by the sale of an old stove. Of tie Sum $596.30 has been spent in traveling ex- penses of the Secretary and there isa balance of~0.700n band. The individual members of the board have paid their own expenses in at- tending the meetings,at a total cost to them of fin.39. Meetings have been held quarterly and there have been some special ones but the board has been crippled by the lack of mone and the lack of local organizations. The lac ofappropriation has been almost criminal. You have an example in point right here in St. Louls in the recent epidemic of diph- theria. Let me show you what the state Board says of that. DR. HOMAN THEN REFERRED 3 following passage in the printed re- Ort Diphtheria.—This disease has prevailed in epidemic form in the City of St. Louis during the lastfour months. During each of several ofthese months more than one hundred deatus froin the disease were recorded, the number of cases reported for the same periods being above three hundred. From the best evidence at hand concerning this outbreak it seems to have been due, in a considerable measure, to failure on the part of the Municipal Assembly to provide adequate means for the proper systematic prosecution of necessary sanitary work in discovering and abating local nuisances, but littie work of this kind having been done eo | the es of 1885. ‘It sounds pretty hard, doesn’t it, to "4 that over 300 deaths occurred from diphtheria and are due to a failure to spend a little money, The same is true of the State, how. ever.

Domestic Recitals by Divorce-Seekers—Dam- age Suits on Trial To-Day. Mrs. Mary Bow entered a suit in the Circuit Court to-day seeking a decree of divorce from James J. Bow. They were married on the 34 of November, 1877, and lived together up- wards of nine years. Mrs. Bow alleges that her husband gave way to drinking habits, and rendered her condition intolerable. She charges that he treated her in the most cruel and barbarous manner, kicking her, knocking her beati and whipping her without er 1 —1— Within the past few da notwitnstanding her deiicate condition she alleged that he struck her with his fists and drove her from home compelling her to seek shelteramong the neighbors.

A suit for divorce was filed to-day by Mrs. Henriette Schmidt against Louis Schmidt, They were married November 15, 1856, in Ger- many, and lived together till May, 1875. Mrs. Schmidt alleges that her husband, without any cause or provocation on her part, took his departure and has remained away ever since. It is further alleged that he never con- tributed one cent toward her support after that time. She asks for restoration of her maiden name, Henriette Kluge. A Passenger’s Peril. The trial of the damage suit brought by Charles Zimmerman, musical director of the Tin Soldier“ Company, against the Chicago & Alton Railroad Company was called be- Val- fore a jury oo Gay. in Judge Mant’s court. Mr. immerman was a assenger on a night train and eft the coach at Bloomington to geta cup of coffee. He alleges that the platform was not properly lighted and he slipped on some ice sustaining serious person- al injuries for which he claims damages at the hands of the company. W. C. Jones & Son appear for the plaintiffand R. H. Kern for the railroad company. A Painter’s Fall. The trial of the damage suit of Rarick against Megsrs. Flesh & Mook was called to-day before a jury in Judge Thayer's court. The plaintiff was in the employ of the defendants as a painter, and fell from a scaffold which he al- leges was in a defective condition at the time. He sustained severe bodily injuries. A Cellar Trap. a damage suit to-day against Henry Freuden- stein & Son. She alleges that a cellar-open- ing at the corner of Clark and Ewing avenues was left unguarded, and that in passing along the sidewalk in front of the defendants’ prem- ises she fell into the cellar, sustaining serious bodily injuries. The Tax Collector Shut Out. Judge Lubke to-day rendered a decision in the matter ofthe Collector's petition for an order on the Provident Bank receiver to pay $2,918.22, the amount ofatax-bill for State, school and city taxes for the past year against the defunct bank. The receiver opposed the petition on the ground that the claim should have been presented at the proper time. The demand should have been presénted in court on or be- fore December 6, 1886. The Court's order barred claims not presented before that date. The collector’s petition showed no ex- cuse for delaying the presentation of the claim. The most favorable view that the Court can take is that it constitutes a sort of equitable demand or lien upon the bank’s assets in the receiver’s hands. It is presented after other equities have sprung up which it is likewise the duty of the Court to protect. Diligent creditors have presented their demands and two dividends aggregating 75 cents on the dollar have been declared. These dividends are the of the creditors. rewards Creditors fail to present their demands tothe assignee for allowance after due notice are barred. Any creditor who comesin beforethe final dividend is made and shows good cause for his tardiness may have his claim allowed, but it will not entitie him to dividends which have been declared before he presented his claim. The collector’s petition is dismissed, but leave will doe given him file another petition, setting forth good reasons for failing to present the claim earlier and asking foran allowance with aview to pay- ment in respect of future dividends, and pay- ment in fullifasurplus remains after the de- mands heretofore allowed are satisfied. Damages for Defamation. Frank J. Bowman has entered a suit for $25,000 damages against Theodore G. Case of the legal firm of Hogan, Case & Hogan, alleg- ing defamation of character relative to a recent publication of proceedings entered in a Chicago courtin which Mrs. Ida . Bowman, alias Mrs. John Stevens, alias Mrs. I. M. Clement, is alleged to figure as plaintiff, charging Bow. man with immoral conduct. He claims that the proceedi was instituted for malicious purposes and thatthe subject-matter is ialse as relating to him. THE MERCANTILE’S DESTRUCTION, Contractors to Tear Down the Old Library Building by Electric Light. The work of tearing down the Mercantile Library was begun this morning. Hayden bought the slates on the roof for $100, and set men to work getting them off. Transfer wag- ons and porters were working all day under the direction of Librarian Dyer, who was up to his eyes in the dust of forgotten volumes, removing books to the temporary location at Tenth and Locust streets. When the roof is off, William Atchison the contractor having in charge the work ot removing the building, will begin operation. He will erect platform chutes and sell the ma- terial as fast as it can be torn out, dumping from the chutes into wagons of purchasers. Three shifts of men will be put to worg on the ob, each being 1 for eight hours at a ime. The work will be continuous day and night until the buildin razed, electric lights being distributed profusely about the piace at night. Three weeks will be consumed in the work, The building is more of a probiem in its destruc. tion than it would seem to the layman who has become familiar with its neighbor, the star communing Equitable Building.

Bill Prepared by the Exchange to Be Taken to Jefferson City. The Transportation Committee of the Mer- chants’ Exchange met Friday afternoon and Saturday to consider the question of railroad legislation. A bill bas been prepared which will probably be sent up to Jefferson City early this week in charge of some member of the committee. The first section of the bills repeal section 824 of the Revised Statutes and enacts instead that no greater rate per ton per mile shall be charged by any railroad in the State than a certain rate to be named in the Dill. These rates have not been inserted yet but the committee are now considering the advisability of 141 the schedule adopted some time since by the State of Illinois. In ad- dition to these fixed maximum bauling charges there will be fixed terminal charges on different clhksses of frefght. Section two of the bill provides fora new section directing the ilroad Commis- sioners to make for each railroad in the State a scbedule of reasonable maximum charges for freightand passenger transportation between stations, and these schedules are to be prima facie evidence in any suitofthe reasonableness of the charges. Changes in schedules are to be published three successive weeks in some St. Louis daily paper. Section 8 makes the individual company or corporation attempting to overcharge forfeit all compensation for the service and subject to a fine of not less than $1,000 and not more than $5,000 and the injured party may recover five times amount of overcharge and attor- neys’ fees. ection 4 of the bill provides that when com- laint is made to the Railroad Commissioners hat any railroad in the State has violated any of the provisions of the article the Com- missioners shall we having power to adminisser oaths, and examine any rail- road man, shipper or any other persons, and having access to the books ot the railroad company, andif the facts warrant the Com- missioners are to prosecute the offender. Section 5 give the Commissioners authority to fix maximum rates between competing points for two or more roads. Section 6 es it the duty of the Commissioners to ascertain rates charged from common and terminal oints without the State to stations in this tate and from stations in this State to sta- tions without the State, and to make the rate between the terminal point in this State and the borderofthis State proportionate to the through rate.

Husband and Wife Fined Before Judge Cady This Morning. Last Wednesday morning George Seeber, the young German brewer living on Fifteenth near Market street, was before Judge Cady on acharge of disturbing the peace of his wife, Lena. The previous evening he had beaten her and turned her out of the house because, so she claimed, she refused to go out that night to earn money in a disreputable manner to su thim. She told the poli that she had Rarried him in Germany and that he made her moe him there in a dis- reputable manner. Was sent to jail for it, and when released six mon ago came to this = mae’ with her. Since their arrival ere he had been living in idleness, and forcing her to support him in the same manner as she had in Europe. Tuesday night she refused to go out because the evening was so bad, and he peat her. At the trial sbe refused to prosecute, and he was let off on payment of costs, About 1 o’clock yesterday morning the police arrested both of them in the disreputabie house kept by Lena Seeber. alias Schmidt, Seeber’s sister, at No. 100 North Thirteenth street, which, it appears, he has been making his wife visit. Both were before Judge Oady this morning on charges of frequenting a dis- reputable house, and Seeber was fined $50 and his wife costs. SECURED PEACE. The . M. H. A. Factions Kiss and Make Up. As first indicated in the Post-DrspatTon, the meeting of the Young Men's Hebrew As- sociation resulted in a practical with- drawal of the sixty-eight resignations which last week caused the rumpus. The meeting was in the United Hebrew Synagogue, Twenty-first and Olive streets, and a large at- tendance was present. About twenty-seven resignations were withdrawn, but still forty-one were left as seceders, when ex-President Louis Maas said it the aper was referred back to him he would see hat ail the resignations were withdrawn. This was done and a motion to express confidence in the new Board was opposed by Rabbi Sonneschein, who said their election a week ago had been enough ofan indorsement, and hé wanted no flatte Finally all agreed to indorse the cir- cular issued by the Board, aiter which the meeting adjourned. THE STREET CAR STRIKE, Last of the Criminal Cases Disposed of This Morning. The last of the old street railroad strike cases was wiped off the docket of the Crim- inal Court this morning when a nolle prosequl was entered in the ease of John Wardell, charged with obstructiag a railroad track, This action was taken at the request of the St. Louls Railroad Company, whose track he was charged in the indictment with obstructing by playing a log across it on Octo- ber 11, 1885. ‘he indictments against the strikers were all found under the clause which makes it a felony to obstruct a railroad track. It was claimed, however, that the law applied only to the tracks of steam railroads, and not street car lines. Withers, one of the dynamiters, was tried and discharged, and the other cases have been dismissed one by one since. A GIRL’S WHIM, Two Lovers Struggle for Her Favor and One is Fatally Stabbed; SALMON FALLS, N. H., January 17.—A giri’s whim resulted yesterday in a probable homi cide. Tillie Perron, a pretty girl living here, was called upon yesterday morning by two lovers, one of whom had a team and wanted to take her riding. Dennis Kennedy and William Collius were the callers. Go and wrestle, said Tillie, aud the man who comes out on top shall have my company for the day. In the contest that followed, Kennedy was the winner. This so annoyed Collins that, it is said, he drew a knife and stabbed his antag- onist four times, causing injuries that are likely to prove fatal. East St. Louis. Saturday night T. T. Rogers, a platform man atthe Ohio & Mississippi freight depot and James Butler who keeps a tailor shop on Mis. souri avenue, became involved in a quarrel over a game of cards in Burke’s saloon.

Would-Be Presidents of the Mechanics’ Exchange in Friendly Converse, There was a symposium in the Directors’ room of the Mechanics’ Exchange this morning, in which Messrs.

I do not believe in the methods of the nominations of the candidates ‘who op me. They were nomi- nated by committees— one committee having ite authority from the directors and the other got its authority I don’t know where. I think secret nominations are con- to the spirit of our Government. The wn meeting idea, in which every one has his say about thé nominations, is the right thing.’’ is opponents did not reply to this and left him an opening fora further statement, It has been said 1 am not in the building busi- ness. That is a mistake. I built twelve houses last year. Iam doing now just what I have always done and am no more above a little speculation now than I used to be. build houses and sell them on the installment Plan; but I am still a builder.’’ Tom McKelleget appeared about this time and Feuerbach reverted to the open caucus idea he had advocated. Keefe wanted to know how it happened that the caucus calied by Feuerbach had nominated the calier, giving ten votes, while McKelieget, who was nomi- nated by Feuerbach, only received two. „1 don’t know,“ said the installment builder. ‘‘I voted for Mokelleget. Kelly, the teller of the caucus, was called for and asked who were the members who had voted for McKelleget. ‘‘Myself and Mr. Keefe,’’ he said. In the laugh at Feuerbach that followed this the symposium was ended. The election will be to-morrow morning and a very full vote is — — ated. The polls will be opened at 10 — BUILDING LEGISLATION, Mechanics Preparing Recommendations to the Legislature as to Protective Laws. In the convention of Missouri Architects, recently held in the city, a committee was appointed to advocate and draft a law to be presented to the Legislature to provide uniform rules for the measurement of earthwork, stoné-mason ry work, eto. Such a law already exists, having been passed by the last General Assembly on the recommendation ofthe Mechanics’ Ex- change of St. Louis, and was approved March . 1885. The Legislative Committee of the Exchange will recommend that the Exchange oppore any alteration of the rules laid down in that statute. The same committee will also recommend action by the Exchange looking to the securing of certain legislation for the protection of builders. One of the principal evils felt of late and for which there has been no adequate legislation is the limitation of labil ity to the man who builds a house on his wife’s land. The land is not now subject to the builder’s lien. As the builder does not always know that title to the property is the wife's, he sometimes awakens to the fact that he has given her a house. and has no legal means of recov- ering the labor, material and money expended in its erection. The Legislative Committee had asession this afternoon and received a number of communications. THE INDIANA WRANGdLE. Judge Ayers Decides Against Robertson and Isaues an Injunction. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., January 17.—Jadge Ayers, of the Civil Circult Court, this morning gave his decision in the proceedings against Lieut.-Gov. Robertson. He held that the court had jurisdiction over the case, and also that there is no provision of the Constitution whereby a Lieutenant-Governor can be elected at any other time than when a Governor is elected, that is, once every four years, andinasmuch asthe election was not constitutional the proceedings could not be a contested election, as provided for by the Constitution and statutes. He granted the writ of injunction against Col. Robertson to restrain him from presiding at the joint con- vention on Wednesday. In conclusion, the Judge said he had assumed jurisdiction and made the decision he did so there could be an appeal to the Supreme Court at once, he bo- lievins that apes such an important question the opinion of that court should be had. Strack With a Poker. Henry OC. Simmons, a young man from Ca- rondelet, visited the disreputable house No. 405 South Sixth street about 7 o’clock last evening, and gotinto afight with Annie Wil- son and Dolly Forsythe, two of the inmates. One of them strack him witha poker, inflict- ing ascalp wound about threé inches long on the head. The injurx, which is not serious, wae dressed at the City Dispensary and the women were arrested. They were before Judge Cady this morning, but their case was continued. Took Laudanum and Was Sorry. AtSo’clock yesterday morning Mrs. Annie Long, residing at No. 1547 Gratiot street, at- tempted to commit suicide by taking two drachms of laudanum. The fact that she bad taken it was soon discovered and a physician was called in and administered an antidote. It had the desired effect and she is now out of danger. Immediately after taking the drug she regretted her action and concluded that she wanted to liveawhile longer. She was very anxious thatthe matter should be kept from the public. The Congressional Contest. * . At the Frank-Glover contest hearing to-day several colored men, who handed in ballots which were received under protest, were ex- amined concerning their residence and quali- fications on election day. The witnesses testi- ned that they had registered prior to election day. and still lived in the samé house. Mr. Donovan objected to the count of the ballots — the names did not appear on the poll - ooks. — While a crowd of boys were playing yester- day afternoon in an alley between Jefferson avenue and Parnell street, St. Louis avenue and University street, one of them, Tony Dolbon, 7 years of age, 59 at 2506 Unt - versity street, was accidentally cut in the breast by Otto Halrich, anotner boy, living at the southeast corner of Parnell and Universit street. The injury is only slight and there will be no prosecution. The Squirrel Fur Trade of Russia. From the London Times. During winter the peasants of the northern provinces of Russia are trans- formed into hunters, and supply the two capitals with enormous quantities of feathered and fur game, captured chiefly by means of nets and snares. Simul- taneously with this supply of food St. Petersbur and Moscow receive the furs of 81 a, furnished main! by the squirrel. The Zyrians, a wil eople dwelling along the banks of Phe Petchora, are peculiarly expert in capturing these little animals.

BAKER, in Chris and Lena. quantity of other furs was still more considerale—200,000 fox, a like number of hare and 1,500 bear skins, etc. The cost of transport from Irbit to St. Petersburg is high,and varies from 4to12 roubles the pood. The purchases at the fair for the capital amount to 500,000 roubles every winter. All these furs are deposited in a rough state at the Gostinnoi-Dvor; they are there cut, cleansed and divided into five cate- gories, each according to quality. A mul- titude of women are employed in ä the small pieces together. For a pelisse o zibeline from forty to eighty of the little animals are generally requlred, but a pe- lisse composed only of the paws takes pieces to make it. The price of a garment of this precious fur varies between 300 and 7,000 roubles—i. e., between £30 and £700. Large quantities of fur pass through St. Petersburg on their way to foreign marts, especially to the Fair at Leipsic. No Thanks for Chantilly. It is noted in Paris, with some amuse- ment, that the decree signed by M. Jules Grevy, authorizing the institute to ac- cept the Duc d’Aumale’s munificent do- nation of Chantilly, is a r business-like document from the first line to the last, and does not contain a single word expressing satisfaction at the bequest. Virtue is its own reward, says a correspondent 8 and the promulgation of this decree will probably close the ‘‘inci- deut“ so far as the President of the re- public and the Duc d’Aumale are con- cerned. The ommission of any conven- tional salution, even of some such curt phrases as Je vous salue,” at the bottom of the duke’s memorable letter to the chief of the State, was a bitter pill to swallow, and is not likely to be forgotten so long as M. Jules Grevy remains in the land of the living and Gen. Boulanger at the war office. The Verdict of the Moonstruck, From the Detroit Free Press.

Wew Yorn, January 17.—There was great excitement in St. Stephen’s Roman Catholic Ohurch yesterday over the appointment of Father Donnelly and his attempting to succeed Father McGlynn in the charge of that church. The servants and choir-boys struck and the eollectors refused to act. The usual Sunday @oliections netted from 92.00 to $5,000. The church engineer resigned after the service. At night an indignation meeting was held by the members and a general meeting of all the Oatholics in the 8 is called for to-morrow ht in Cooper Union, to protest ainst er McGlynn'’s removal. That gentieman rostrated by excitement, and has removed to sister’s residence in Harlem. ACTION OF TRADES -UNIONS. The trades’-unions have decided to support the Rev. Dr. McGlynn in his trouble with Archbishop Corrigan. At the meeting of the Central Labor Union in Clarendon Hall yes- terday there was little else done but to discuss the question and to make arrangements to give Dr. fiociynn an earnest, active support. Soon the opening of the meeting, Delegate Robert Crowe of the Tailora’ Union took the floor and after an earnest speech in favor of Father MoGiynn, urged that the Oentral Labor Union call a big mass-meeting of Catholic workingmen in New York 8 to test against the action of Archbishop Cor - an in removing Dr. McGlynn from St. Stephen's Parish. In accordance with Mr. Crowe's suggestion a committee was ap- inted to make arrangements for the masa- e called within two n had been deposed from the pastor- ate of St. Stephén’s, be is still the pastor of the greatest congregation on the face of the earth, 2 congregation which included men of — — 1 following resolution was unanimously oD ; Resolved, That the workingmen ofthis city be — by the Central Labor Union to attend the mass- meeting to be heid to-morrow evening in Cooper Institute to protest against the action of Archbishop Corrigau in bis un- ust action against the Rev.

THE GERMAN SOCIALISTS, Their Friends tn this Country Raising Funds for the Parliamentary Elections. New Tonk, January 17.—The dissolution of the Reichstag by Prince Bismarck has caused the Socialiste of Germany and their friends and supporters elsewhere considerable anx- iety. A new election in Germany means more fo the Socialistic party than to any other po- litical organization in the country, for the German Government has always done its best fo suppress Socialism. All public meet- ings are prohibited; Socialist newspapers are suppressed, and all Socialist books and pamphiets are confiscated. Yet in spite ofthe Government’s vigorous pro- ecription me Eee cast over 500. 000 votes in the last gene election two and a halt years ago and sent a large and enthusiastic repre- sentation to Parliament. All party work has to de done secretiy and Sucialistsin other countries are now raising money for their ends in Germany. The Socialists of this city ve adopted a sort of land league tactics for this purpose. Last Saturday night the different ons, or *‘locals,’’ four or five in number, met and decided to enter on active work of oollecting funds. Yesterday ee ae a large ral meeting in Vathauer’s Hall.

THE NEW YORK SENATORSHIP, A Very Close Contest—Republican Caucus to Be Held To-Night. Atmary, N. Y., January 17.—Who is to be United States Senator? That is a question which promises to remain unanswered until toenight, when the caucus of the Republican members of the Legislature will be held. Every politician is surprised that the result of the contest is hidden till so late an hour. There has not been sucha close conflict over I eee ster | in nearly twenty years. The neck-and-neck race for the office ‘was made by Reuben F. Fenton and Edwin b. Morgen in 1 g instructions for the gly pe by the ends of 0 n and arner Miller that neither has sufficient number of N se nominate to nominate h bability, however in for one man. HIGH RUNS. PROPER SYSTEM OF THEIR CALCULATION UNDER THE RULES OF A HANDICAP. Ed Cerrigan’s Opinion of Freeland, the “old Cripple” — Successor of Editor Aaron — Sporting Gossip of All Sorts—Chat of the Diamond. In Schaefer’s 14-inch-balk-line tournament | the odds on Gallagher have been reduced to 2-land he is now played favorite. Gallagher thinks his prospects for first place are very good. A nice point has arisen in the matter of highest runs and the proper method of their calculation. The desideratum is the maintenance of uniform propor- tion between the allowances and the actual number of pointe made. The best system of calculation was proposed by Galla- her, who says that the run should be oalcu- luted on this basis: The number of points scored is to the total, 800, as the run is to the answer, which will be the proper per- centage run allowed to the player and on, which the award of the prize should be made. This, it will be observed, preserves a uniform — — throughout which is not arrived at by the sys- tem of calculation, which is a percentage of the discount added to the actual run. In this connection it may be well to state that bets on mynent runs are decided by the actual number of points scored and not by the run as governed by the rules of the handicaps. LIVELY AS A COLT. Blistering Freeland to Prevent Him from Injuring His Ankles. Mr. Ed Corrigan, the turfman, is still in the city, but will leave for the South in a few days. He says that telegrams from Memphis convey the news that his stable, which is wintering there, isin fine order. Speaking of Freeland Mr. Corrigan said: **Freeland is now s years old, but he is as lively as a colt. I had to blister him around the ankles in order to prevent him from hurting himself. I haven’t a two-year- old in my stable to-day that’s livelier on the addock than the old fellow. Of course it is — to tell how he will turn out, but I feel pretty sure that he will do something in the way of winning anyhow.’’ Mr. Corrigan said he had booked no bets as et on his $100 to $1,000 proposition that Free- and would stand preparation, but that the odds were good and he would like to invest some money in that direction. Frank Flint at a Wedding. Frank Flint, the catcher for the Chicago Club, was in the city last week. He came down from the windy city to attend the mar- riage of his sister, Miss Clara B. Flint, to Mr. Joe Mascheck of thiscity. That happy event took place in Elleardsville. The bride is a handsome young lady, and is the particular pet ot old silver. Base Ball Briefs. Mr. Al Spink, editor of the Sporting News, is secretary of the St. Louis Maroons, A Pittsburg paper states that Arlie Latham is working on a railroad in Boston. The Louisville team has fifteen players under contract, six pitchers, four catchers and five infielders. Charles Baldwin, the left-handed pitcher of the Detroits, has put his signature to a con- tract for next season. The base ball cage at Yale University is fin- ished, and the candiaates for next season’s team have begun practicing in it. The Philadeiphia Times is authority for the report that Barnie and Managing Director Watrous of the Mets are about to effect a trade of Purcell and Roseman. Mike Kelly says the only base ball players in the New York team are Ward and Ewing. He also believes that Gore will play a great game with the team next season. Manager Jack Sneed of the Memphis Club is intown. He has arranged to open the season at Sportsman’s Park, playing the Browns three games, March 26, 27 and 28. Why,“ said A. J. Reach recently, base ball, in my opinion, has just about begun. It is still in its infancy, and I think that this season will show that people are taking more interest in the game each year. The wrestling match between Hugh Nicol and *‘Kid’’ Baldwin, both members of the Cincinnati Club, has been declared off owing to Baldwin backing out. George Weidman of oy Kansas Citys would like to havea go with col. A meeting ofthe Board of Directors of the St. Louis Browns will be held at President Von der Ahe’s office, next Wednesday even- ing, to elect officcrs for the ensuing year. Other business of an important nature will also be transacted. Manager Williams of the Cleveland Club has apromising young pitcher, who hails from Detroit. His name is Frank Shiebeck. He — for the Maple Leaf Base Ball Club of ntario last season, and was recommended to the Cleveland manager by Manager Watkins of the Detroit Club. President Von der Ahe, who is Chairman of the Schedule Committee of the American As- sociation, will issue a call have the meeting of this committee take place in Louisville about January 81. Messrs. O. P. Caylor from the Mets and William Barnie are the other members of the committee. The Athletics of Philadelphia had as long ago as 1876 a reserve team, which they did not then consider a novelty. Among the many applicants for positions on said team in 1876 may be mentioned Fred Dunlap,A.J. Bushong, Greenwood, Kimber, Arundel, Myers, Me- Closkey and others now well-known pro- fessionally. Bicycle Budget. The Board of Officers meets to-day in N York City. 4 on The announcement in Saturday’s Post-Dts- PATCH that Secretary-Editor Aaron had re- signed was a great surprise to the wheelmen of the city, and some went so far as to say that the fear that Belding was contemplating an Eastern tour had precipitated the resigna- tion. John A. Wells, Chief Consul of Penn- + yee a has been temporarily appointed to — vacancy, pending action by the Board of cers. Eck and Schock rode 100 miles at the Globe Rink yesterday, Eck winning in six hours and nineteen minutes, on accouut of Schock’s wheel breaking. A morning paper dubs Eck as the champion of Canada“ and says he **will doubtless soon make a reputation“ in the line of long distance riding. Mlle. Louise Armaindo is in the city and will ride against Eck to-morrow, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Louis C. Lueders, P of the bicycle agency at 212 North Twelfth street, died in Appalachicola, Fla., after a brief illness, aged 22 years, 6 months. His remains will be brought home for burial. The deceased was one of the founders of cycling in St. Louis, and his name is foundin the early records of wheel achievements in St. uls. He was present at the birth of the old Missouri Club, and was a prominent member of it in its early days. Ot late he had not ridden much, and „ two years had practically eschewed r ng. Sporting Gossip. Dan O'Leary, the old time heel 4 thinks that a numberof records will ay — this year. Great things are predicted of Manzanita, the éyear-old daughter of Electioneer. Her resent record is 2:16, but she trotted a mile 2:21 as a 2-year-old.

Ever since Edward Hanlan was interfered with by steamers on the Parramatta River, in bis first race with William Beach, he has been opposed to that stream asa course on which to decide the seulling championship. Beach’s decision to row on the Nepean Riveris in ac- cordance with Hanlan’s preference, and it is thought a fair and square chance will there be given to both competitors. Tne Nepean is al- so looked upon by Hanlan as a neutral course. William Beach, the Australian champion, claims the followingis the proper mode of rowing: ‘‘A full, long reach out over the toes, with both arins straight; asharp, clean ‘catch of the water; a powerful, steady, horizontal stroke, with an application of the whole force at the moment of immersion;a clean feather and a low, quick recover, shooting out at the moment ofthe finish. Good form is especially desirable, and this can only be obtained by steady practice.’’ „Parson“ Davies thinks old-time fighters overtrained. He says: ‘‘John O. Heenan, 6 feet I½ inches, and with a normal weight of 215 pounds, was trained down to 178 pounds to fight Tom Sayers. This was simply demoral- izing. Why, men like Burke, Mitchell and McCaffrey now fight at from 168to 175 pounds. John L. Sullivan, 5 feet 10% inches, fights at 200 pounds now, 22 pounds heavier than Hee- nan with his 6 feet i’ inches. Killeen, 6 feet 1 inch; Cardiff, 5 feet 114% inches; Ryan, 6 feet h inch, fight at 200, while Kilrain and Glover fight at from 185 to 190.“ THE GLOBE is selling boys’ all-wool red flan- nel underwear at twenty-five cents; men’s all-wool red flannel underwear at forty-five cents; extra quality re-enforced linen bosom shirts, worth $1, at forty-five cents; and all other furnishing goods proportionately cheap, in the great stock-taking sale at she GLOBE, 705 to 713 Franklin avenue.

They used to play this without any scenery when Shakspeare was allve, said Col. Tom Rad burn to Charlie Walden Friday night as they sat together in the Olympic parquet looking at the performance of Hamlet. Did they?“ Jes. They used to just hang up a card sayihg, ‘this is a street’ or ‘this is the Meth- odist grave-yard’ and the actors would come on and work just as hard as they do now.“ **‘Awful easy to shift scenes in those days, wasn’t it?’’ said Charley. Tes, said the Colonel, with a rising in- fiection in his tone, but the thing had its dis- * advatanges.They ** set em too quick. Now, there goes the curtain down and we've got a good five min- utes on our hands.’’ So the two gentlemen started out onto the sidewalk and stood in front of the St. James. ‘*D’ye see that light over there?’’ the Colo- nel remarked, pointing to acor- ner about a block distant. The saloon?“ Les. Wellthey sell there some ot the finest liquor lever tasted.’’ What's the Grandma. matter with this place?“ said Charles, indicating the lignted doorway infront of which they were stand- ing. All right, replied the Colonel, ‘‘Il accept your invitation.’ His friend hadn’t quite figured it out by the time they were back in the theater with their cloves, so he dismissed the problem. Say, Colonel, I’ve got your seat. I don’t care to sit on the aisle. Oh, keep it old fellow; I don’t mind this one in here. ‘*‘Well—ah—’’ in a whisper, ‘‘was tnis hat in front here when we went out?’’ ‘*Yes, the same lady. Thatis one respect in which the theaters haven’timproved. They’ve got better stage arrangements and purtier scenery, but they don’t rule out those hats. Did they have them in Shakspeare’s time?’’ Oh, yes. don't see how he became so popular, and without scenery. This coal hod shuts out the actors but I can see that moon there. The colonel was going through his clothes for his poc- ket-book. here. This copy of an ivory type of my old randmother; died efore i was born.

You observe. that in addition to the plumes she has the portiere attachment, made to take up the full width of the seat.’’ Has Hamlet jumped into the grave yet?’’ No; he’s there yet. Well, let's go out by that light again, and the two gentlemen passed up the aisle, and at 12 o’clock, when the show was out, the round- ers who went into the hotel found them watching for the inside seat.

B. The New Company Formed by the Consoli- dation of Two Railway Enterprises. J. H. Waugh of Columbia, Mo., the pro- moter of the St. Louis & Kansas City Short Line, is in the city, having returned from New York, where he attended a meeting of the principal Directors of the Short Line with the gentiemen who control the Central Missouri Railroad. Both roads are prospective and neither company has as yet turned a shovelful of earth. Both are projected through what is nearly the same territory and both have been looking in the same quarter for aid. The Short Line was — idea, said Mr. Waugh. ‘*I live at Columbia and there we habe no east and west road. We are practically on a switch. When the North Missouri railroad was built we missed getting it to pass through our coun- ty because the counties on either side of us refused to subscribe to the construction. About three years ago I conceived the idea of securing an east and west road and later I took in with me Mr. F. B. Williams of Favette and Odin Guitar of Columbia, because my health became go and I had to go away. When I returned 1 found the scheme about collaps- ing and then began to work for the consolida- tion of my road with the Central Missouri. We had certain elements of strength in bridge charters, right of way and subscriptions which would be valuableto a consolidated company and the Central Missouri had other elements of strength in its charter for a bridge across the Mississippi at Alton and other rights. Our meeting in New Yurk virtually accomplished the consolidation, but the agreement made there will have to be ratified by the directors of the two companies who will meet here early in February. The consolidated com- pany will builda st. Louis road and will also take advantage of the Alton branch that the Central Missouri's charter makes possible. The decision in the St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado Railroad intervention in the Wabash receivership was a splendid thing for us, as it lets us into St. Louis over the Wabash tracks if we wish to come in that way. We shall not want to come that way ifthe bridgeis built atthe Chain of Rocks. The gentlemen who are seeking the charter for the Merchants’ Exchange are all friends of mine and friends of our road, and we have been working with them for that charter. I think, though, they made a mistake last win- ter in not insisting on their bill going through with that of the Central Missouri for the Alton bridge. Both would have been passed if a com- bination had been made. Ido not know whether they will de able to obtain a low bridge char- ternow. The report of the engineers sent out here by the Secretary of War is against them, and will be hard to overcome. I met Senator Vest in New York the other day and talked to him about the pill. He said he be- lieved the bill would pass the Senate in spite of the report, and there I apprehend is the — — lace. Vest was quite sure it —— — go = — 8288 come into tne city from 6 no e bridge is t, ask noodds ofthe Wabash. ee ‘“What were the terms of the consoll- dation?’’ do not care tostate them just now. A new company will be formed. The name will probably be the 8t. Louis and Central Mis- sourt Railroad. There are some coun on our proposed routes that will be left out of our future plans aud we will have enough trouble when they find it out. I don’t care to precipitate bickerings and trouble.

A DRUNKEN DRUMMER. Pays $15 for an Exhibition of a Pistol in a Hotel. J. H. Williams, the commercial traveler who created so much excitement at Hotel Barnum yesterday was up inthe First District Police Court this morning on charges of dis turbing the peace and carrying concealed weapons. While intoxicated he drew a re volver out at the hotel and flourishing it around wanted to prove himself a greater shot than Frank Frayne by put- tin bullets through the hats of the bell boys. When they would not permit him to practice his markmanship, he became very indignant and was arrested. The hotel people did not want to prosecute him as they say heisamost estimable young man when not under the influence of liquor. This morm ing he pleaded guilty and was fined $10 fot carrying concealed weapons and 9 for dis turbing the peace. HOTEL PERSONALS. Plattsburg, Mo.; A. D, III.; A. B.
