Daring Rescue of a Prisoner From a Train. Tro Detectives Almost Murdered by a Thief’s Pals. A Desperate Combat on the Cleveland & Pittsburg Express. Nye Men Board the Train Near Alliance, O., to Rescue Harry McMunn, the Cleveland Fur Thief—Detective Hulligan Laid Low With a Coupling-Pin and Capt. Hoehne Shot Full ot Boles—A Brave Resistance Made by the Two Officers—Escape of the Prisoner and His Friends—The Officers Fatally Wounded. PITTSBURG, Pa., February 4.—Last night de- tectives Hoohne and Hulligan of Cleveland left here, having in custody Harry McMunn, charged with complicity in the extensive fur robbery at that place. When the train reached alliance five men got aboard and when Raven- pa was reached they made a concerted attack on the detectives with a view of rescuing the prisoner. A desperate fght ensued and one of the detectives was fatally shot and the other wounded, Some of the assailants were also wounded. Hulligan had seven bullet wounds and Capt Hoohne fve. The rescuers succeeded in escaping with McMunn, the prisoner. Both detectives were gent to Cleveland. They are still living but are not expected to recover. DETAILS OF THE RESCUE AND FIGHT. The most daring anc successful attempt that Was ever made in this vicinity to rescue a prisoner cccurred early this morning on the Cleveland & Pittsburg Express which left this city at 11:25 o'clock last night for Cleveland. So desperate were the confederates that two of Cleveland's detectives were fatally wounded, Capt. Hoehne and Detective Hulligan of Cleveland, having re- ceived a requisition, determined to return to Cleveland last night with their prisoner, Harry MeMunn, who was accused of having been concerned in the recent extensive fur robbery in that city. Ihey took every precaution to preventany attempt that might be made by the pals of McMunn to rescue. Securely hand- cuffed, the prisoner was placed on board the train the at outer depot in Allegheny. He took his arrest very coolly and seemed anxious to cause the detectives as little trouble as possi- ble. The express sped on, and at 2. o'clock this morning Alliance, O., was reached. At that point, five men boarded the train and passed through several ofthe cars. Finally they saw the officers and their prisoner sitting inthe smoking car. No sign of recognition paseed between McMunn and the men, and they sat down afew seats from the prisoner and in a few minutes the ex press continued on its course, When Ravenna was reached the fiVe men arose suddenly fromjtheir seat and, without warning, drew thelr revolvers on the officers. There were but a couple of other passengers in the car and the confederates of McMunn were com- plete MASTERS OF THE SITUATION. Their quick action gave them the drop on the officers. Oneofthe men demanded their prisoner, but insteaa of complying with their request the officers jumped to their feet and tried to draw their revolvers. They were too late. The five men opened fire on them. Capt. Hoehne retreated and tottered over into the aisle with bullets In his shoulders and thigh. As he fell the gang jumped on him and kicked him until he lay still as death. When the firing first commenced Detective Hulligan received several bullets in his body. He still attempted to defend him. selfand another volley was fired at him, until seven bullets had pierced his body. He tot- tered and fell insensible in the seat. He was then kicked until his head was split open.

Hulligan’s Condition Critical, Hoehne May Recover. - CLEVELAND, O., February 4.—Tue train bear- ing the two wounded men arrived in Cleve- land about 7:30 o’clock this morning. At the depot the ambulance and a large, easy- springed, covered wagon were in waiting. Capt. Hoehne was placed in the wagon and sent to the City Hospital. The ambalance took Hulligan to his home, corner of Pond and Lake streets. On arriving at the hos- pital, the house physician exam- ined Capt. Hoehne’s wounds. The brave officer was shotin the hip, the bullet having —— lengthwise down his leg and being im- edded in the flesh. Another bullet took ef- fect in the left arm and passing from the wrist upwards, came out atthe elbow. He also re- ceived a severe cutinthe head. Hulligan had four cuts in the head. One was made by the coupling pin, and this, itis feared, has frac- tured his skull. One ear was also half cut off. The physicians think that Capt. Hoehne may recover, although his injuries are very serious. Detective Hulligan’s condition is VERY CRITICAL. If infiammation sets in he will die. One of the burglars was shot, but bis ‘‘pals’’ carried him from the train and made their escape. Chief Schmitt was notitied of the awful affair upon receipt of the telegram from the conductor of the train, and going to the Central Police Station he senta number of telegrams to dif- ferent parts of the country giving a description ofthe desperadoes and asking that a lookout be kept for them. The residence of Detective Hulligan was vis- ited this morning shortly after tue detective was taken there. He was at the time lying on a hastily improvised cotand was attended by Dr. Smith who was dressing his wounds. He was so badly injured about his head that in reply toa question from a reporter he begged to be spared from any effort to RELATE THE OCCURRENCE, as every exertion occasioned him ened pram Dr. Smith, the attending physician, said that he could hardly give an opinion as to how serious the injuries of the detective were, as he had hardly had an 5 to examine them. A large cut over the right eye, extend- ing almost to his ear, appeared to be the most serious one, and looked as though it might have been caused by a coupling-pin or some other blunt weapon. A smalier and somewhat similar gash was also over his left eye. The right eye was swollen and entirely closed. The doctor thought that, from the casual examination he had made, another wound looked as though it was uced by a pistol shot. Every upward move of his body Was attended with vomiting blood. The pa- tient was wholly conscious and made as com- Two officers were in at- tendance giving him all the assistance needed. A BRIDEGROOWM’S sTORY.

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WA6HINGTON, D. O., February 4.—Some- thing like a sensation was caused in the Dis- trict Supreme Court in general term here yesterday by the presentation ofa petition attacking the civil service commission aud asserting the unconstitutionality of the law by virtue of which it exists. The paper is headed ‘‘A petition of right, by Morris 8, Mil- ler of Older Creek, Onedia County, N. T., for redress mn a case where A. P. Edgerton, J. H. Oberly and Charles Lynam commissioners and others, are trespassers upon his civil and political rights and privileges by exercising unlawfulauthority and powers.’’ The petitioner asks: ‘‘For an order or judg- ment restraining, enjoining and prohibiting the commissioners and all persons from exer- cising the illegal and unconstitutional power set forth, and for such orders and redresses the court shalideem meet to vindi- cate the liberties of the petitioner, and which will adjudge, determine and declare that the Ese of the United States are not subjects, ut sovereign citizens; that the Government is, in substance as well as in form, a re- u ’ f The petition forms a printed volume of ninety-four pages, most of which are deyoted to adeciaration that the civil service law is unconstitutional, because it confers on a board created by the legislative branch of the Government powers of selection and appoint- ing to office expressly reserved tothe Presi- dent by the Constitution. Various other rea- sons are also set out on paper. It is believed that this proceeding is tie first step taken witha view to testing the legality of the commis- sion’s existence. _ = WAR ON COCKRELL. Missouri Office-Seekers Indignant at the Senator's Neglect of Their Interest. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcr. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 4.—There is some danger that the Missouri Democrate here, in mass-meeting assembled, will rise up as one man and denounce Senator Cockrell. Quite a number of Missourians have passed the examinations of the OCivil Service Commission and come here at consider- able expense, expecting to receive appointments. The Senators for other States usually make a personal application to the heads of departments for the appointment of citizens of their own State. hey have a natural pridein securing as many appoint- ments as possible for their own people, buat this is not the case with Cockrell. While the Senator bas set his face against helping the people of his State, he is not averse to taking care of members of bis own family. He keeps his brother-in-law, Tom Towles, in as a clerk of the House of Representatiyes, and has an- other brother-in-law employed in the Senate, A list of his relatives holding office in Missouri is being prepares bly public in the w IRON ORE, An Important Decision by the Secretary of the Treasury. WasSHINGTOK, D. C., February 4.—The Sec- retary of the Treasury has written to the Col- lector of Customs at New York in regard to the commercial meaning of ‘‘iron ore’’ as used in the tariff act, with reference to the suspensions of department instructions of November 5, last. He says he has considered a large amount of new testimony, both for and against the proposition laid down in such instructions, that such term means iron ore when dried at a temperature of 212 deg. Fahrenheit; also an opinion from the Attorney General on the sub- ject. In the light of such new testimony and of the opinion of the Attorney General, he says he now decides that iron ore, as known to the commerce of this country, is the iron in its natural state in respect of moisture. He, therefore, re- vokes the said instructions and directs the Collector to assess duty as heretofore upon im- ported iron ore, that is to say, upon the actual weights as reported by the United States Weigher at the time of importa- tion. The Secretary says that it will be understood, however, that in the case of importations of iron ore, which im- porters may claim to have increased in weight on the voyage by the addition of sea water, Article 600 of the — — — applies, and that importers upon making due application there- under, may obtain such allowances as may be estimated and reported by the United States Appraiser. — — ͤä — — — TREASURY CHANGES, The Resignations of Manning and Jordan in the Fresident's Hands.

It is expected that Mr. Manning will be relieved soon after the tion of Assistant Secretary Fair- chiid to the head of the department.

The Senate Committee on the Judiciary has changed the House joint resolution for a joint investigation of the Pacific Railroad accounts to the form of a bill and has agreed to report it. It provides for a sweeping investigation, during the progress of which the funding bill will not be pressed.

Mr. Heard,who has in charge the bill, was also on the Senate floor, looking personally after the bill in the Senate. As it passed the house by so great a majority there is hardly any doubt but that it will go through the Senate. It has behind it one ofthe most formidable lobbies that has thus far appeared atthe Capitol this winter, and it has plenty of ‘‘boodie.’’ Nick Bell’s Salary. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCcH.

Mr. Becherer was a reviser and served in Pre- cinct 220. The Fourth Ward Frauds. Michael Davis, the first of the parties ar- rested under the capiases as published in the PoOsT-DISPATCH yesterday evening, is a car- penter and resides at 1400 North Ninth street. He was Democratic Judge at precinct 50 in the Fourth Ward. a Henry <Aspelmeyer a _ clerk residing at 1307 North Eighth street, acted as Republican Judge at the same precinct. He said, on giving bond, that he supposed an in- dictment had been returned, because in the returns a man was counted voted who had not cast a vote on election day. With this ex- ception he knew of no irregularities at the polls. Henry Obermoeller furnished bond in thesum of $5,000 for Aspelmeyer. Thomas Dwyer was the Democratic Clerk at the Fiftieth Precinct and was arrested yester- day atthe Olive street car stables where he is employed. John Larkin was Davis’ associate at his poll on election day. He was arrested yesterda evening on acapias. He lived at 1320 Nort Ninth street, and is employed as an elevator hand.

From the Chicago Tribune. Both Manning and Jordan are out of place in the Treasury Department, and, while their transfer to a New Lork bank will require no change in their financial views or pol.cies, it will put them under obligation to the proper paymaster hereafter. As public officials paid from the taxes levied on the people of the United States they have taken the Wall street view of every monetary question, and in their eagerness to establish gold-bug dovtrines have impeached the legal-tender decisions of the United States Supreme Court and pro nounced the greenback currency unconstitu- tional. It is time for Manning and Jordan to go. Their retirement will raise the interest- ing question whether Mr. Cleveland in filling the vacancies will again violate the unwritten law which commands that the Treasury De- partment shall not be put in the hands of Wall street attorneys and clerks. With only two or three exceptions all the Presidents have felt bound to obey this rule and select their heads of the Treasury from other States than New York, but as Mr. Cleveland has es- tablished the policy of surrendering the Treas- ury to the control of Wall street he may feel indisposed to change it. Impartial Judges. From the New York Times. During the trial of the telephone cases be- fore the Supreme Court Justice Gray does not sit with his associates on the bench, because some of his relatives own Bell Telephone stock, and therefore will be affected by the court’s decision. Is there not another Jus- tice of the Supreme Court whose relatives are interested in a similar way? A decision against the Bell Company would directly affect the in- come of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany, for by the contract of November 10, 1879, this telegraph company draws every year one-fifth of the entire annual revenue which the Bell Company derives from the rent of tel- ephones. This contract was made for a term of seventeen years. In accordance with its provisions the Western Union has received nearly $2,000,00°, and is receiving from $350,000 to $400,000 a year.

THE BIG STRIKE. A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN THE SITUATION AT NEW YORK. Both Sides Firm—Hundreds of Green Hands Secured te Handle Freight—Two Mail Steamers Unable to Sail—Henry George on the Strike—Trouble at Pensacola, Fla.—Labor News. NEW YORK, February 4.—The White Star steamship Republic and Cunard Line steam- ship City of Chicago scheduled to sail to-day, with the transatlantic mails will not be able to get off because of the strike. A FIGHT IN THE DARK.’’ In an editorial on the strike, in the Stand- ard, Henry George says: ‘‘I think it isa fight in the dark, the blind push of men squeezed past all endurance. I think it the first passive form of a civil war, which steel-clad forts and armor-plated ships cannut guard us against— the kindling of passions and the arraying of forces that, roused to full energy, may give cities to the flames and destroy our very civil- ization itself.’’ A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT. There was a slight improvement in the con- dition of affairs on the river front this morn4 ing. The steamship companies are slowly recovering from the stagnation to business that the strike of the longshoremen at first occasioned, and are moving freight with more dispatch than on any of the past four or five days. Nowhere is this more noticeable than on the East River front. The steamers are being got away on their regular sailing days and the freight lines are once more re- ceiving and delivering goods. In most cases the work on the steamer piers is being done by green men and on the freight lines by the deck hands of the freignt boats. The steamers are being discharged and loaded by their own crews, ASSISTED BY ITALIANS orothermen. The steamer Niagara is being loaded to-day and will de ready to sail on time to-morrow. There are about twenty old bands at work on this dock. They were given the advance of 40 cents for day work and 60 for night work. Atthe Bristol line dock the steamer Warwick was discharging with her own crew and fifty Italians. The regular men did not putin an appearance when the boat arrived. The Alamo of the Mallory line 18 still ut the bulkhead. When she will be ready to sail no one can tell, but an effort will be made to get her cargo in by to-morrow The City of San Antonio and Lampasas are also docked waiting tu be discharged. Trouble Threatened, PENSACOLA, Fla., February 4.—The turmoil caused by the quarrel in the labor ranks as to the way in which contracting stevedores should work and pay their men was increased yesterday.

Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lonpon, February 4.—The effect of the war scare here yesterday was greater than ever. There was a panic on the Stock Exchange towards the close. Two or three failures were reported from Paris and some from the other Continental bourses. The situation is about as bad as it can be without actual war. There was one continual decline in the prices on the stock exchanges and the rumors were of the wildest and most exciting character. Severai large orders to buy wheat came to American brokers. One order for 100,000 bushels came from a well-known conservative speculator in Paris who has the reputation of knowing what he le about. Reports indicate the greatest ex- citement in Paris. Gen. Boulanger is now more than ever the center of all attention. He isthe point of attack from Germany. The question remains as to whether he will be overthrown and war thus averted. —— ͤ A iwůᷓ—— — PANICKY. A Poor Opening of the Stock Exchanges, Fol- lowed by a Reaction.

Va., February 4.—The vote to-day for United States Senator resulted: . . — rde Sh ME 7 3 7 we the Cases—The Sprinkling Registrations—Municipal Notes. For two days the officials at the City Hall have been quietly investigating a mystery. Noteven the clerks and deputies were taken into confidence. Several consultations be- tween Mayor Francis, President Allen and City Register Tracy have been held. They met with but little success in clearing up the mystery. To-day a special meeting of the Board of Public Im- provements was called and at 12:30 o’clock the secretary was instructed to address & communication to Mayor Francis, asking the opinion of City Counselor Bell on the validity of certain ordinances, the numbers of which were given. Nothing further was said, but it was soon learned that this action concerned the mystery. During Mayor Francis’ absence in Washington and New York President George W. Allen of the Council acted as Mayor. In the discharge of his duties he signed or- dinances authorizing over a quarter of a million doilars’ worth of improvements on January 26, the day on which they were sub- mitted to him. He turned them over to the Clerk of the House of Delegates, and at the meeting on Friday, the 28th, they were sub- mitted tothe House. The ordinances, which were then in the form of House bills, were as follows: House Bill No. 263. An ordinance author- izing the repair of certain sewers and provid- ing for the cost thereof. jouse Bill No. 265. An ordinance anthor- izing the reconstruction of Northwestern sewer on Twentieth street, and providing for the cost thereof. House Biil No. 266. Anordinance to recon- struct Broadway from Mullanphy street to Hempstead street. House Bili No. 267. An ordinance to recon- struct Broadway from Hempstead street to Chambers street. House Bill No. 268. An ordinance to recon- struct Broadway from Chambers street to North Market street. House Bill No. 268. An ordinance torecon- struct Broadway from North Market street to St. Louis avenue. House Bill No. 278. An ordinance author- izing the reconstruction of Northwestern sewer from Ninth street to Twelfth street, and providing for the cost thereof. House Bill No. 28. An ordinance to grade and rae alleys in city blocks numbers 1,558 and 1,559. House Bill No. 284. An ordinance to re- construct Broadway {from Franklin avenue to Biddle street. House Bill No. 285. An ordinance to recon- struct Broadway trom Biddle street to O’Fal- lon street. These were dated January 26“ by Mr. Allen, but a few days ago when Street Com- missioner Turner examined the ordinances to advertise for contracts which are estimated at about $250,000 he discovered that While the bills bore the date of the message the date of ry gy | 0 learned that Mr. Allen was not acting-Mayor on the 28th day of January. The investigation then set afoot developed the fact that after the bills left the Mayor's office the new date was forged on the bills with a view of invalidating them. Mr. Allen was asked ay concern- ing the matter and sai. ‘‘I signed those bDilis on January 26, and somebody has evidently altered the by adding 1 curve to the top of the 6. It is a plain case of forgery. .I don’t know by whom it was committed. but itis plain. Even the ink used was of a different shade, and the po * the accompanying letter bears the date of ‘26th,’ now in the Mayor's office. I was not acting on the 28th, and consequently could. not sign it on that date. I don’t know what effect it will have now that the forgery is dis- covered. Monthly Mortality. The mortality report compiled to-day by Dr.McCarthy of the Health Department shows that during the month of January this year 716 deaths were reported. During the correspond- ing month last year 649 deaths were reported. Of the 716 deaths recorded, 272. were under 5 years of age; 482 single and 284 married; 328 fe- males d males; 61 colored and natives of St. Louis, parts of Missouri, 82 of Ireland, 119 of Germany and 7 of France. Thirty-four burial certificates were issued for deaths outside the city in which instances the remains were brought here for interment. Ninety-seven deaths occurred in public and private hospitals. Eighty-two deaths were attributed t diphtheria, 7 to scarlet fever and istocroup. During the same month 865 births were recorded at the Health Office, Or this number of were of white children and 38 colored; 447 males and 418 females. A gratifying note is made at the end of the re- port tothe effect that no death from small- pox is to be recorded, making the eighteenth consecutive report with this entry. rege Ba year and a hali the city has been free from this contagion. This morning Chief Sanitary Officer Francis said: ‘‘Not a single case of diphtheria has been reported to-day. Thisisthe first day in six monthsin which no case has been recorded. So far this week only seven deaths from diph- theria have been reported, andthese were all old cases, while at one time thirty-nine deaths were reported from diphtheria and twelve from croup, which, I suppose, were of the same character. There were then 228 cases reported. This is a big falling off, and onel am glad to see. A Fight for Big Profits, Inthe House of Delegates a warm fizht is anticipated to-night over the bill providing that the cost of sprinkling the streets shall be paid out of the city treasury. Councilman Devoy, who introducea the bill, obtained es- timates of the cost and submitted these to Comptroller Campbell, who said that the city would be able to undertake the work. The bill was accordingiv drawn = and passed the Council. Since then a strong opposition to it has developed in the House. The new limit members, whose constituents cannot directly benefit by the tt yy lan are 11 the measure. ince the discussion it has been shown that under the present system, where the con- tractor has everything his own way, and the householder is completely at his mercy, over 60 per cent profit is made on some of the con- tracts. The sprinkling companies, now not regulated by any law, are violently opposed to — plan of the city contracting for the sprink- ng. Undoubtedly Corrupt. Since Recorder of Voters Williams has been in office he has been examining the registra- tion lists closely. The work was not at all difficult for him as he had had good training previously. He has since arrived at a verdict which s that the books must de ‘*purged, purified and diienfected.’’ He has discovered bundreds of faise registrations and hundreds of instances where legal voters were stricken from the books without cause. Tocarry out his object, he asks that money be appropriated to enable him to take a census of the wardsin order to correct his books when the Board of Revision next meets. His examination of the registration is still in progress. Municipal Notes. The certificate ofthe death of Ab. Harga- — was recorded at the Health Department as ay.

Parmelee was at work upon thethird floor of the building 521 North Second, occupied by the Pacific Oil Company, at 11:30 this morning, he noticed a volume of smoke suddenly appear in the rear of the long apartment and come rolling toward him.

A line from a chemi- cal engine was run =P into the fourth floor of the Trask Fish Oompany im- mediately to the north of the building on fire, in case ofthe flames communicating, but was not used. The house occupied by the Trask Fish Company, partitioned off by a heavy single brick wall, suffered but little, ex- cept a trifling damage to the office furniture and a small portion of the stock which was reached by the water failing in through the roof. F. Wooster & Company occupy the building comprised by Nos. 517 and 519. This store being separated by a double brick wail was not affected to any extent at all and no water was ut on it except from a line on the roof of the Pacific Oil e store. The Hanley & Kinsella Coffee and Spice r buildings, Num- bers 511, 513 and 515, luckily escaped without damage, for had the fire reached this astab- lishment the whole block would no doubt have been menaced, as each of its four floors con- tains roasting furnaces and tons of dry, in- flat mable material. The Pacific Oil Company is 3 composed ot B. L. Parmele, O. L. Mersman and J. J. Mersinan, Sr. The two first named are young men and are the active partners in the business. The stock, which consisted entirely of lubri- cating oils and material for their manufacture. was Valued at $18,000. This was insured for 13,000, placed by Leo Mersman and H. D. losaom, which amount will fully cover the loss. The building, a four-story brick with 25-foot front, is owned by Miss Sallie Brandt, for whom Mr Chas. Turner is agent. It is valued at about $4,500, the amcunt of its in- surance, which is placed as follows: Reading, Pa., $1,000; Louisville Union, $1,500, and British American, $2,000.

How the Big Four” Managed the Property and What They Made on Their Invest- ment—Some Facts for the Stockholders to Consider—Interview With Mr. Chas. W. Greene—The Stockholders’ Meeting Last Night. Sixty stockholders of the Sheridan Mining and Milling Company gathered at the Mercan- tile Club last evening to listen to the report of the directors on the condition of the company. W. C. Steigers was made Chairman of the meeting and Hanson Rasin Secretary. Thos. H. Jacobs recited the story of his trip to the mine, already given in the PosT-DISPATCH. In stating the finan- cial condition of the company, however, ne said that its indebtedness to the Big Four’’ was $60,000 instead of $40,000, as had been supposed. The stockholders present asked many questions and indulged in many sarcastic remarks atthe expense of the ‘‘Big Four, who sat unmoved through it all. Mr. Jacobs said the mine could still pe developed ut an expense of $20,000. The Four Hawks Company, however, owning an adjoining property, proposed to let the Sberidan Com- pany operate their property as long as they pleased for one-fourth of the net profits of the Sheridan mill. This proposition came from the owners of one-balf of the Four Hawks. The other balf was owned by the „Big Four, who would relin- guish their interest to the Sheridan Company. It would require $15,000 to begin the operation of this property. As for the $60,000 indebtedness, the Big Four’’ would relinquish half of that also. Mr. Jacobs said in answer to a question that he had not made anything out of the Sheridan mine. Ide proposition of the ‘‘Big Four’’ did not meet with enthusiastic approval, but a com- mittee of ive was ordered appointed to ex- amine the books and confer with the ‘‘Big Four’’ regarding the proposed reorganiza- tion. HOW IT WAS WORKED. The true history of the Sheridan Mining and Milling Company will probably interest gpeveral thousand of the PostT-DISPATCH readers,’’ said Chas. W. Greene to a Post- DISPATCH reporter this afternoon. Mr. Greene has been familiar with the progress of the Sheridan Company from its inception. he gentlemen who are familiarly known as the ‘Big Four,’ Messrs. Huse, Jacobs, Cleary and Mullally,’’ said he, ‘‘bave been several years interested in the Cooney camp, having a controlling interest in the Silver Bar No. 2, a property adjoining the Pea- cock mine. They have spent several thou- fand dollars on the property, and now hald a bond against it for $12,000. In the summer of 188, after the Peacock mill was started, and the camp was attracing gen- oral attention, they sent Mr. George out to ar- canes. in company with their superintendent, Jo Sheridan, for sampling the mine at its sev- eral openings, having in view the erection ofa milithere. He was followed very soon after- ward by the president of the company, Mr. Huse. As thestory goes in the camp, the three were engaged several days MAKING TEST ASSAYS of the ore until one day, two of the assays came out from the furnace of a far higher grade than any before. Examination showed that they were a couple of samples from a claim on the other mountain, across the gulch, the individual roperty of Mr. Sheridan. There was no trail up the very steep moun- tain at that time, and it was hardly practicable for Mr. Huse toclimb up to it, soit was ar- ranged the next day for Mr. George to zo up with Mr. Sheridan and bring down some more of the rock. The new samples were nal in guality to the first and these were d vided, u part of them coming to 8t. Louis tobe as- stayed here. The result was an arrangement with the ‘Big Four’ by which they sus- — all further operations on the Silver ar No. 2 and undertook the organization of the Sheridan Mining Company. I have never heard any one say directly that the mine HAD BEEN SALTED; but as the mine has never produced any of that class of ore, since peo- pie will draw inferences, I think that Mr. Huse really believed that the new prospect was justas represented. Hehad un- ounded faith in both George and Sheridan, und no doubt thought he had stumbied ona bonanza. As soon as Mr. Huse returned to St. Louis the company was organized with the Big Four’ in control. Two hundred thousand shares of stock were issued and from the fact that Sheridan received seventy thousand shares of it and the other tentlemen undertook to erecta fine mill on the property, it is piesumable that sixty thousand shares were get apart for that pur- pose, While they would hold the other seventy thousand as their present interest in the con- cern. Ibelievethere was no money paid for the mine, Sheridan received the stock in full consideration for the property and made a pretty good thing out of it, too. CONTRACTS WERE MADE With Smith, Beggs & Rankin for the erection of a fifteen* stamp mill and it was got ready for shipment promptly. The sales of shares com- menced, the first price being fixed at the mod. diet sum of $1 per share. All went along oe: The confidence of the people in ®gentiemen at the head of the company * created a wey demand for : and the price vanced rapidly. ~ the meantime Sheridan concluded that — needed money more than he needed the took in that mine, and he commenced un- — the latter, selling many thousand ‘ares at 50 cents a share, while his innocent partnels were selling here at u dollar. As the — advanced here, he demanded a propor- f onately higher rate for his, getting just about ne bat of the St. Louis price for all holdings. He haa managed it 80 2 etly that he had succeeded in sell- ‘vero, Stl of his 65, shares—having ren Mr. George 5,000, or sold them to him chte that time he had been em»viloyed as ‘perintendent of the will, but his interest in «ry from Sliver City were t comay things were in auch a was threatened noying litigation, At this juncture Mr. George 3 ROSE TO THE OCCASION 3 88 setting the oom mill and otion again and promising his employers to get the mill in operation by | of the formation.

But when the fire happens to be the blaze ofa big to- bacco warehouse with a relentless north wind blowing down and the thermometer lingering around zero itisa trial to test the courage of the bravest. Yetitis not on record that the firemen of St. Louis ever flinched. — — THE wake held over the remains of the late Sheridan mine last night was replete with tender and melancholy memories. There is no questioning the sincerity of the mourners and few of the benefactors of humanity are followed to their grave with more genuine regret than was called out by the untimely demise of this universal favorite. The occasion should serve as asolemn warning against the hollowness of surface indications and the deceptive nature of true fissure veins. It Mustrates the uncertainty of tips and the futility of bonanzas, and it teaches that even those who are let in on the ground floor may find themselves crawling out of the cellar, It is indeed a pathetic lesson, and yet there is a linger- ing conviction that St. Louis is in that verdant and receptive condition of mind in which it is ready to listen anew to the siren song of the mining sharp and learn the Sheridan lesson over again. Tus European Governments, that of France included, are all crying peace, peace, because they know their people want peace. But their warlike prepa- rations warn the world that the Govern- ments really do not mean peace. That their acts speak louder than their words was ahewu by the panics in the bourses of the leading capitals yesterday—all started apparently by a remark attributed to the German Emperor, and which was con- strued to mean that be was ready to * NM . otherwise maintain his position on the army question against the Reichstag. An era of great standing armies is, in the nature of things, an era of wars, and where governments are run with little rogard for the will of the people the evil will probably grow on, until it works out its own remedy, and war debts and ex- haustion teach the nations that they are stronger and safer without armies than with them. Mr. EVARTS opposes the Beck bill mak- ing it unlawful for a member of Congress to accept employment or pay as counsel or attorney from any subsidized railroad or other corporation having bills pending before Congress. Mr. EvartTs seems to be profoundly convinced that a member can honestly accept fees from both sides, and honestly serve both clients where litigation and legislation are pending and the interests of powerful corporations stand arrayed against those of the Govern- ment and people. Supposing that the public shares his sublime confidence in the integrity of fee-grabbers and im their ability to faithfully serve two clients at once on opposite sides, Mr. Evanrs pro- nounces the bill uncalled for“ and pro- ceeds to say: The rights of citizens were not to be invaded because honest employment might lead te criminality. Should the apothecary’s shop be suppressed because poison was dealt out from it? No, the polsoner was punished, but the drug store was not suppressed. If this isa valid argument against the Beck bill it is an equally valid argument for the repeal of the laws which prohibit members of Congress from practicing be- fore the Court of Claims, or any of the departments, or accepting fees for sup- porting any claim pending in the Patent Office. If Congressmen are to be trusted to judge for themselves what services they may render: to other clients without preju- dice to the service they owe the public at large, or what fees and emoluments they may accept without being improperly in- fluenced thereby, why should we have any law to punish bmbery or the acceptance of bribes in Congress? There are plenty of lawyers outside of Congress to serve corporations or other lobbying interests. There are plenty of lawyers notin the pay of corporations or of lobbying interests to serve the people in Congress. When the two employ- ments are not kept apart we cannot be sure that the commingling of them will not involve flagrant breaches of publictrust. It is true we do not close apothecary shops because morphine is sometimes unconsciously given for qui- nine, but the cases are not parallel. No argument from public necessity, or con- venience, or private right can justify the removal of all barriers and restrictions so that bribers may without question pour their poison into the public service. No lawyer who wishes to make money out of lobby combinations is under com- pulsion to serve in Congress, and he should not be allowed to attract fees trom such interests on the strength of his posi- tion in Congress. The Beck bill leaves the lawyer free to choose which side he shall serve. It simply requires him to choose one side and not pretend that he is faithfully serving on both sides at once. — — e — — — FIGHTING A MONOPOLY. The struggle between the Southern cot- ton planters and the infant monopoly of the Cotton Seed Oil Trust will be watched with interest all over the country, and a pious wish will go up from every disinter- ested anti-monopolist that the planters will win, and that the attempted monop- oly will be beaten beyond the hope of resurrection. The Cotton Seed Oil Trust is the most impudent of the many monopolies that have recently attempted to trade on the necessities of the people and to heap up gigantic fortunes for a few capitalists by an artificial depression of the price of the raw material and an artificial increase of the price of the product. It stands be- tween the producer and consumer and compels the producer to accept any price it chooses to offer because it has closed up all other markets to him, and it compels the consumer to pay any price it wishes to charge, because it has shut off all other sources of supply. Although this little monopoly is in its infancy it has felt strong enough to begin putting the screws on to the cotton planters and has given them fair warning of the treatment they must expect. But the first turn of the screw has been so severe that the planters have turned in rebellion and are organizing against the monopoly. After the success of the Standard Oil Company and of the coal conspiracy it may be sanguine to assume that the cotton seed monopoly can be downed, but it is the part of every good citizen to wish the opposition success. SECRETARY MANNING’s defence of his policy of reducing the amount of out- standing groenbacks, as fixed by the act of 1878, requiring the reissue of such notes up to the prescribed amount, may be an ingenious plea for a policy preferable to that prescribed byghe law. But it does not justify his disregard or disobedience of the law. That law was enacted on pur- pose that so many greenbacks might keep 80 many national bank notes out of circula- tion, or to prevent the retirement of green- backs by Secretaries who might desire to create a currency vacuum to be filled by bank issues. On that question of policy Mr. Manno is on the side of the banks and against an overwhelming majority of Congress, and he seems to be plvading for the right to carry out the will of the banks ip his administration of the Treas- N — * (oy * b= * = 2 . 8 = ; 4 aes - r. „* N * +2 4 al ai ‘ 1 * ; en * 2 — n oe 3 * * Py . 3 > Ee Bi a, -! ty ‘ - a ¢ * * 8 a i + - ‘i = 8 * 4 2 : 41 4 — * — q hy 4 i — 4 — — 5 3 D . , N ee ** .

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcH. —— New Tonk, February 4.—The’Wor.D says: The supporters of the Carlisle- Morrison idea of revenue reform are said to have decided to notify the Randall faction of the party that they are so anxious to redeem their piedges to the people made at the Chicago convention, that they will support any measure looking to the reform ofthe tariff laws, which seems to be reasonable in its terms. Reform in the tariff is no doubt very desirabie, but we trust that the majority of Democrats in the House understand that the paramount duty of Congress is to make a reduction of taxation. It this can come through a reform of the tariff, very well; but it not it should be made with- out. Tariffreform can wait. Tax reduction cannot wait without continuing the collection of an excessive and dangerous surplus. There should be reason and concession on both sides. Free tobacco forthe poor and cheaper sugar, salt, lumber and clothing for everybody will produce the desired result. THE SUN. The Sun says: It the surplus were 00, - 000,000 a year, there would still be no jastifica- tion for the appropriation of a single cent by Congress for the promotion of education in the several States, andif the surplus were 31,000, 000, 000, this mock philanthropist in New Hampshire would devise enough extravagant schemes to create as large a deficiency. Sit on Blair and sit on his bill. THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: It honest confession is good for the soul the Demogratic Senators must feel benefited by their frank and public condemnation of the President. They com- plained bitterly that he had turned so few Re- publicans out of 9 thereby violating his duty to his party, bid administration and his coun ; ubtiess the Senators’ utterances voice the sentiments of the Deniocratic party at large; and the emphasis with which they were made indicutes the depths of bitterness and — — in their hungry and thirsty souls. Nevertheless, the President bas reason to feel deeply hurt. He has done his best to make places for his party friends, violating the spirit of the civil-service law „ t nis followers don’t sympathize with him, it must be because they fail to realize the difficulties of his great straddie.’’ f THE TIMES. The Times says: The spectacle of Mr. Ran- dail appealing to the magnanimity of the real tariff reformers in the House to allow him to secure a consideration for his sham tariff re- form bill, is too grotesque to de in the least athetic. Mr. d s chief function in ongress, for some 11 has been that of ob - structing bills to reduce the war tariff taxes. It he had experienced an actual change of heart and now came forward professing a sin- cere purpose to serve the tax-payers as faith- fully as he has served bis employers, the Pennsylvania protectionists, we ave no doubt that he would get warm welcome from the tariff reformers and a hearing from the House. But the reduction of the tariff burden is not his object. He seeks rather to make such inroads apon the revenues by reducing or abolishing taxes that are not burdensome, as to make impossible the reduction of those that are so. Mr. Randall’s tariff bill will prob- ably enjoy the ill-fortane its insincerity mer- its. N ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. X. Y. Z.—Sullivan is 28 years old and Ryan is 33.

CuicaGco, II., February 4.—Last night the Fire Department was called to extinguish a dlaze inthe dissecting room ot the Chicago Homoeopathic College atthe corner uf Wood and York streets. The room is in the south- east corner of an upper floor and ladders were necessarily used in reaching the flames. As the foremost firemen stepped into the room he saw what appeared to be a man overcome by the smoke lying on a table. Calling his companions, the reman seized the body and had succeeded in lugging it from the room before he discovered that instead of a suffocated man he was carry- ing away a partially dissected cadaver. An investigation showed that there were thirteen other bodies in the room. On the fourth floor of the building were a number of patients. who, up to the arrival of the city force, known nothing of the fire. On hearing the noise of the engines they became greatly ex- cited and could be quieted only after the de- pertment had gone. One old lad in — lar became completely frenzied and force was neces to prevent her from leapi froma window. The physicians in charge fear that the excitement will have a permanent effect upon the patients, some of whom were ina most critical condition. THE PRIEST GOT JUDGMENT. Interest in the Case of Father Jean Against Bishop Hennessey. Ctrrrox, Io., February 4.—The judgment for $200,000 damages, secured on Wednesday by Father F. C. Jean of Lyons against Bishop Hennessey of Dubuque, Io., creates much in- terest in Catholic circles. Some fifteen years ago Fatner Jean, the priest of St. Irenas parish, Lyons, used his own money and worked hard to build a large stone church. He was charged with being domi- neering and severe with his parishioners and much feeling in the church was the result. Bishop Hennessey was asked to interfere and he removed Father Jean from the pastorate, but offered him another which was refused as was also one in Illinois. Fat ber Jean has since been litigating nearly continuously ana some months ago, after several years close applica- tion, study of law books himself he commenced suit against Bishop Hennessey for $200,000. At this term of court the case was to come up then 8 U and 1 — was J. Lemngwell for T for $200,000. No motion a for being idle for fifteen years. He has con- siderable real estate in Lyons. A DECREE FOR GO. Sensational Scene in Judge Lubke’s Court This Morning—A Wife’s Appeal. Judge Lubke, upon taking his seat this morning in Court No. 2, announced without a written decision that a decree of divorce would be entered in the Gog divorce case in favor of the plaintiff, the husband.

Present Status of the Struggle—How the Sen. ate Stands on the Question—Senator Me. the Militia Kill—Proceedings of the Mis- souri Legislature. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaTcn. JEFFERSON City, Mo., February 4.—In the opinion of a number of preminent Democratic anti-submissionists, the action of last night’s Democratic caucus in indorsing local option, is significant only in showing that local option will be voted for, provided submission does not pass, and that it does not by any means place submission on the shelf. The submis- sionists know that the Caucus Committee can- not draft a local option bill, introduce it in the House, and have it come up for passage be- fore February 15, when a vote will be taken on the submission resolution. They «re resting secure in the consciousness of their Own strength, and are permitting opportu- nities to accomplish their principal object slip by with a recklessness which may prove ruinous to their cause. For instance, while they are going about indorsing local option, and flattering themselves that they hold the upper hand and can delay a vote on local op- tion until after they have passed submission, the active minority, which, unquestionably, includes the best parliamentarians in the House, are QUIETLY SCHEMING to rush the Woods local option measure to an early consideration. Messrs. Jewett of Shelby and Leising ot Gasconade, who have lately forged to the front as anti-submission leaders, admit that submission will eventually pass the House, butthey hope to get the Woods bill through first, and by adopting it, influence a sufficient number of doubtfal Senators, to de- feat submission in the Senate. Jewett is of the opinion that more than fifteen of the seventy- nine members who voted with the submis- sionists will cast their ballots for the Woods measure, and the anti-submissionistse will have gained an important point. As the Senate now stands a change of one or two votes will be sufficient to aiterthe general result, and there can be no doubt that the passage of the Woods Dill by both branches of the islature, will influence greatly the votes of nators Ball, Hazill and Downing who, while they are considered as doubttal on the subject of submission, are undoubt- edly in favor of local option, and they would hardly vote for submission if they thought the House would give them the Woods bill. M*GINNIS’ MAD. Senator McGinnis of St. Louis this morning arose to a question of privilege concerning a communication which appeared several days ago in the St. Joe Gazette, signed by Jeff D. Storts, ex- Representative from Shannon County.

Real estate men anticipate a big building boom in the spring in the West End—Oabanne piece, Clements place, Chamberlain Park and other places of that character. The improved facilities for reaching the suburbs is what they base their predictions on, as well as the ad- vance that property in these districts has already made in value. There are now a num- ber of elevated and cable road bills pendin before the Municipal Assembly, and some o them are certain to pass. With rapid transit West End property is bound to boom. During the past few weeks there has been considerable demand for property in Aubert lace and for property near King’s highway in the neighborhood of Tower Grove Park. The latter 2 is coming in demand on account of the new Carondelet & Oak Hill Belt Railway which will pass it and give the people rapid transit into the city. It also makes property in the neighborhood very desirabie for manufacturing purposes, There isa general belief prevalent the cable road will soon run an extension to King’s highway or that some cable or electric rajlroad will be built out there and this bas placed Aubert place property in demand.

CINCINNATI, O., February 4.—The river reached 54 feet6 inches at 10 o’clock this morning. It is still rising at the rate of an inch an hour. .The apparent defiection to the north of the cold wave increases the pos- sibility of disastrous flood here. Access to the Central Passenger depotis now cut off and the Cincinnati Southern, the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis 4 Chicago, the Ohio & Mississippi, the Bee Line, the New York, Pennsylvania 4 Ohio, the Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore and the Columbus 4 Cincinnati Midland Roads are compelled to discharge and receive passen- gers at the Eighth street crossing. reight movements are also seriously endangered, and a little more rise will cut off some of the freight depots. Disastrous floods are reported in the Big Sandy, Little Miami and the Licking rivers. At Falmouth, on the latter river, dis- tilleries and saw-milig and other manufactories are submerged and suffered much loss. The river was full of the contents of fields and granaries. Many bridges on turnpikes were carried away throughout the country. At But- ler, Ky., the Licking was within a few inches of the highest mark known, which was in 1854. In Newport, Ky., there is already consider- able encroachment on the lower portions of that city. Six inches more of water will cut off street car travel between Newport and Cov- ington. The outlook is not so favorable as it was last night. ONE INCH AN HOUR. The river continues to rise at the rate of one inch an hour. It was 54 feet Sinchesat 12 o’clock. The weather is clear and mild, with wind from the northeast. Reports from points up the river to-day show arising rivor all the way to the headwaters. At Brownville, ine Monongahela had reached 82 feet 8 inches and was about stationary, At Parkersburg, W. Va., the Obio was rising an inch an hour. The Little Kanawha and Muskineum had about ceased to rise. At Point Pleasant the Obio is rising to day at the rate of two and one-half inches an hour. At Portsmouth and Maysvilic, points lower down, the rise is at the rate of two inches an hour. In the lower portions of the city, as well asin Newport and Covington, there are many families removing from lower floors to higher, or out of their houses altogether. Lowlands Overflowed. NASHVILLE, Tenn., February 4.—The Cum- berland River at this point is booming. The heaving ralns of the past few days have cov- ered a large area and caused a rise ot about six feet since Monday. The lowlands adjacent Nashville are overflowed and man families have been run out of their homes. mopente from Carthage and Burnside indicate a heavy rise yet to reach here that will cause a further rise of from three to five feet. This will force at least 100 families to vacate their houses. No danger to lite or portable property is apprehended, as timely flood warnings were issued by the Sig- nal Service office. o river is now 41.3 feet and rising atthe rate of an inch e danger line is at 4 feet. — Alton Atoms.

The assengers were considerably shaken up ut unfortanately none of them were hurt. Upon investigation it was found that some miscreant had placed a cross-tie on the track for the purpose of throwing the train from the track. be crew made a search for the parties who had committed the deed, but were una- dle tofindthem. The parties are known and will be arrested. Anticipate No Danger. LOUISVILLE, Ky., February 4.—The weather is clear and cold to-day, and at noon the river is ata standstill. Up to midnight it continued to rise at the rate of three inches an hour, but from that time on it decreased, until early this. morning the rate was only halfaninch an hour. The best posted river men and the peo- ple living in the districts subject to overflow now believe the water has reached its highest, and anticipate no danger from the flood. The Governme t guage in the canal shows 29 feet 10 inches; on the falis 27 feet 8 inches. Confessed Judgment.

The last occasion on which the great Sphinx was cleared down to the level on which pave rest was in honor of the opening of the Suez canal, in 1869. The everdrifting sands had, however, reburied italmost to the throat when Prof. Mas- ero, during his last year of office at oulak, began again the work of disinterment. This work has now been going on, somewhat intermit- tently, for more than twelve months, and is at the present time in active progress under the direc- tion of Prof. Maspero’s successor, M. Gre- baut. A tramway has been laid down from the Sphinx to the edge of the Pyra- mid plateau, passing close under the west Interesting face of the granite building pularly, though incorrectly, calleg the Temple of Along this \tramway light the Sphinx. trucks convey the sand to the point at which their contents are discharged, the trucks being loaded by Arabs of both sexes and all ages, who carry the sand upon their heads in large flat baskets, as- tending and descending all day long from excavations below to the tramway above and vice versa. The means look curiously ogg. (ree but the results are astonish- ing. ready the entire fore part of the great stone monster is laid bare, and already the huge chest, the paws, the space between the paws, the altar in front ofthem, and the platform upon which they rest, are once more open to the light | of day. Nor is this all. Between the Sphinx and the edge of the Pyramid plateau a vast space has also been cleared, thus — to view a fine flight of steps some forty feet in width. These steps, which are described by Pliny, were uncovered by Caviglia in 1817, but have been entirely lost to sight for nearly sev- enty years. A second flight of steps and the remains of two Roman buildings were also found by Caviglia, and will again be brought to light if M. Grebaut continues to work in this direction. To the right of the Sphinx—that is to fay, in the direction of the granite tem- ple, to the southward—a further excava- ion is in progress, the result of which will probably confirm the surmises of those who believe the Sphinx to stand in the midst ofa huge artificial 1 ater hewn out of the solid rock is gi- gantic work would, of course, be contem- raneous with the Sphinx itself, which ariette attributed tothe mythic ages be- fore the advent of Mena, the first King of the first dynasty, and which Maspero considers tobe, if not actually prehis- 8 ae events the oldest monument From the level of th el o e area below the great flight of steps (which lead down, and not up, to the Sphinx) one now meas- ures the whole height of the huge hu- man-headed mouster. whose bat- tered countenance stands out against the cloudless Sky one hun- dred feet above. The space de- tween the paws is thirty-five feet long and ten feet wide. This s ace was anciently converted into a small sanctu- ary lined with votive tablets, on! one of Which—the famous stela of othmes Det remains in situ.

GONE UP IN SMOKE. An Expensive Blaze at the Drummond To- bacco Factory Last Night. Shortly after 6 o’clock last evening Private Watchman Wm. Beckett discovered a small blaze in the second floor ofthe warehouse of the Drummond Tobacco Factory on the east side of the main building at Fourth and Spruce streets. The warehouse was a three-story brick structure 200x90 feet, and was built in 1882 at a cost of $30,000. Within a few minutes after the discovery the entire second floor was enveloped in flames. Alarms were turned in bringing fifteen engines to the fire, but it was found impossible to save any considerable portion of the stock or building. The efforts of the department were acvordingly devoted to savinu the main building just west of the warehouse. The heat set fire to the roof of Schawacker’s livery stable on the east side of Third street, but this blaze was promptly ex- tinguished and a stream of water turned onthe houses in danger on that side of the street. A chute connecting the factory with the ware.« house endangered the safety of the former buiidiny still more. A force of firemen was stationed here with a private line of hose to fight off the spreading fames. In the mean- time the fire raged in the warehouse until 8:30 eo’ clock, when it was almost an entire loss. The falling flodrs shook the walls, which fell after the cross supports were burned away. By 9 o’clock all danwer of the fire spreading was passed, The burned building was origin- ally used for storage purposes, but since the erection of the fine factory at Fourth and Spruce streets it bas only been used as a storehouse. Last night the warehouse contained about $205,000 worth of tobacco and between $40,000 and $60,000 worth of Jjicorice and sugar. This stock was insured $257, - 000. The building was insured for $15,000, 80 that the actual losses to the company will not be large. Thereis no satisfactory explanation for the origin of the fre. The only machinery in the warebouse was a thresher, which was run trom the main factory and wiich had been shut down tor some time before the dre was discovered. There had been no fire in the building during the day. As the factory had iarge supplies of tobacco stored in other parts of the city work was re- sumed to-day. As there are 700 hands em- ployed there this action onthe parts of the proprietors is a biessing to the little army of poor workers, many of whom would suffer reatly by being thrown out of employment u mid-winter. The water thrown on the building froze last night and to-day the giazed walis and ruins looked like a frozen cascade. A Card. To introduce them we have decided to give away 1,000 of our celebrated Self-Operating Washing Machines. Any reader of this paper can have one if they will send their name and address at once to Monarch Laundry W orks, 82 Warren strect, New York. A LIVELY MEETING. School Director Brady Uses a Knock-Down Argument. The joint meeting of the Course of Study andthe Ways and Means Committees of the School Bourd last night was quite lively fora few minutes. Mr. John W. O'Connell pre- sided. Mr. John Brady brought up the sub- ject of free text-books for all children of the public schools regardiess of the financial con- dition of the parents. A statement of the plan as folloved in twenty-eight other cities was submitted, but Mr. Koenig opposed Mr. Brady. When the latter suggested that it would be better to furnish books free than to deposit its money at 3 per cent as the board was doing, Mr. Koenig took exception to this statement. Later Mr. Brady made the statements that poor children had been re- fused iree text- books, and that though one in- stance Was reported to the Superintendent and the Teachers Committee, no action was taken. Mr. Bosley denied ever having been notified of such an instance, and Mr. Blais- deli, though not ot the meeting, volunteered that as former Chuirman of the Supply Com- mittee he would say Mr. Bosley was right. Mr. Brady rushed at Mr. Bluisdell with clenched fists and demanded: ‘‘Do you mean to say thatno such charge was made?’’ Be- fore an answer was received, Mr. Blaisdell was down on the floor, having been knocked or pushed down by the angry Director. On gaining his feet again, Mr. Biaisdell indicated that e would meet Mr. Brady later. Some of the other members attempted to reconcile the disputunts but with- out success. When they separated, Mr. Biaisdell — a more gory meeting. A motion made by Mr. Blank to appoint a committee to ascertain the cost of supplying free text-books was then passed and after the appointment of Messrs. lank, Foerstel and Hawkins, the meeting adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman.

Miss Currie Duke, the violinist, came from Louisville Wednesday morning to play in the two Musical Union concerts. She was accom- panied by her mother, Mrs. Basil W. Duke. The first concert or rehearsal was to begin at 10 a. m., but owing to the train being late Miss Duke was not able to appear unti some minutes after the time set for her number and she only reached the stage then by fast driving after the mint mum Amount of attention to ber toilette. The two ladies were registered atthe Southern Hotel, and remained there until yesterday afternoon, when they went to the St. Louis Club tor a dinner given them by friends. In the interim Mies Duke lost a valuable ring, und when Mrs. Duke looked for her pocket- book to pay their bill it was missing. Wheth- er the ring and book were lostin the hotel or not | could not say, but gone they surely were. Miss Duke was not well, and the haste of removing from the hotel to the residence of friends caused her to become almost ill. She played last night excellently in spite of these disadvantages, and aiter the concert went with her mother to the residence of Mrs W. D. Farr in Vande- venter Piace, where they had been entertained Wednesday night. This morning thev drove to the Union Dopot to take the train home, and found when they reached there the train had been gone half an hour,. This capped the climax of misfortune and discomfort. They returned to the Southern to await the evening train time. ° © © * CONFIDENTIAL advice, to either sex, 2 — — te 4 — 2 10 sents in stamps. orid’s neary Medical Associa- tion, 663 Main street, Bufalo . .

The First Performance to Be Given on Feb- ruary 83 — Return of the Distinguished Composer to the Best School of Italian Opera—German Instruments Discarded and Wagnerisms Conspicuous for Their Absence—New Instruments Manufact- ured to Obtain Effects—The Music and the Libretto — Principal Singers Engaged— Col. Mapleson Striving te Secure the Work—High-Priced Seats. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. New YorK, February 4.—The Milan cor- respondent of the Times under date of Janu- ary 21 writes: Since my dispatch from Paris of January 18, critics and journalists have been busily engaged in the effort to gain some further information regarding Verdi’s Otello.“ but afterall little more than what Ithen sent you has been discovered. The maestro is not only secretive himself but he has managed to so train his musicians and artists that they are keeping his secrets remarkably well. Some few additional facts have leaked out however, for members of the orchestra and chorus have tongues and all of them can not be controlled. What little has been learned ofthe operais here presented: SIGNOR VERDI ARRIVED IN MILAN on December 23 and it was his intention then to have the first rehearsal of ‘‘Otello’’ with tne orchestra and singers on December 28. There were reasons, however, why this should not be done and the rehearsal was postponed. On January 15 Verdi, assisted by his publisher, Ricordi; Signor Berto, the librettist; Signor Facci, the conductor, had Signora Pantaleone (soprano), Signora Tamagno (tenor) and M. Maurel (baritune), with Navarini, the basso, who has also been engaged to create one of the roles, sing their parts to the accompaniment of a piano. Their rendering of the music pleased the composer greatly, and he gracious- ly expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with their treatment of the parts assigaed them. Two days later, January 17, everything was ready for the first reading of the opera to the orchestra, and this was done in the great hall of La Scala in the morning in the presence of Signor Verdi. In the evening of the same day the score was read for the second time, the singers being present on this occasion, and on January 18 a general rehearsal was given of ‘“*Otello,’’ with the full orchestra and all of the singers, all of whom had learned their parts, but now met for the first time to sing them to- gether. The maestro had siven notice to the directors that if at this rehearsal he saw a sin- gle stranger in the house be would leave them there atonce. His word was law, and not a person, it is believed, was present except mu- sicians and artists on the stage, Verdi himself, his publisher, Ricordi, and his son, and the librettist, Signor Berto. THE REHEARSAL GAVE GREAT SATISFACTION, and passed off so well that Verdi, who works with the vigor and activity of a young man, urged the fixing of the date for the first rep- resentation January 29. This was almost de- cided on, but the production of a new work of such evident magnitude as ‘‘Otello’’ could not be hurried and it was found necess to postpone it until the Sth of February. e- hearsals have been going on daily since the lst, and Verdi is well pleased with all the members of the company and with the lavish manner in which the opera is to be placed on the stage. It is very certain that he regards this, probably his lust, as his greatest work, and that his whole soul is wrapped in the preparations for its produc- tion. There is no doubt that Berto’s libretto follows Shakspeare’s tragedy as closely as it was possible for him to make it, considering the necessity of adapting his own work to that of Verdi. The opera consists of four shortacts and the scene is laid partly in Venice and partiy in Grenada. The composer had created a beautiful romanza for Desde- mona in the second act, but he yielded to Kerto’s remonstrance that it would interfere with the prompt revelation of the character of Desdemona as portrayed by Shakspeare and sacrificed this part of his score to the librettist’s scrupulousness. Speaking of the libretto, it is said here that Signor Berto has paid a valuable and graceful compliment tothe great composer. Having completed his work onthe libretto the story goes, he handed it to Signor Verdi, with the remark: ‘‘I dedicate and present this my last libretto to you, THE MAESTRO OF THE WORLD.’’ If what is told of Verdi's music in Otello!“ is correct, the composer has departed as far as possible from anything which could possi- bly be deemed a lcaning toward Wagnerism. It is said that the music removes from the orchestra every modern instrument intro- duced there since the era of Wagner began; that in ‘‘Otello’’ Verdi returnsto the simple purity of Itallan opera in its best school and that the contrast to modern German music is so strong us to give color to tue theory that the maestro wished to make it as apparent as possible. In the place of the banished instruments new ones are introduced in the orchestra. The violins are provided with a fifth string, so as to get rid of the necessity of using Ger- man bass viols. A viola d'amore, bought in Brussels for 20,000f. (about $4,000), is used to accompany Desdemona’s last song, and a serenade in the opening scene is to be accom- panied by four rows of old Italian guitars, fur- njshed with metal instead of catgut strings. The overture is said to be a tempestuous poem, and the love songs are magnificent. The opera is not likely to require more than three hours in its representation. The cast of ‘*Otello’’—Signora Pantaleone, soprano; Sig. Tamagno, tenor; M. Maurel, baritone; Sig. Navarini, basso—is probably as strong a one as either of Verdi's twenty-six other operas had on the occasion of its first represen- tation. It is nearly half a century since his earliest work was produced at the same theater. ‘‘Overto’’ having been given at the Scala in 1839, with Salvi in the leading tenor role. The demand for seats for the initial per- formance has been wholly without precedent in the history of La Scala, and the prices at which they have sold were never before re- alized. The ground floor has been converted into stalls, and every one of these has been sold at the rate of $40. The secured seats were disposed of weeks ago at $20 each, and even in the gullery seats have sold at second hand for $15. AMONG THE DISTINGUISHED PERSONS who have secured places for the first night are the Comte de Paris, Mme. Adam, M. Clemenceau, the millionaire Drefus and the directors of the Grand Opera of Paris, Verdi has already been paid a bonus of $40,000 in ad- dition to the royalty which he will receive for each performance of the opera throughout the world. The English translation of **Otelio’’ has been made by Mr. Hueffer, whose thor- ough knowledge of Italian and English lan- guagesrenders him admirably qualified for the task, The vocal and plauo- forte scores will be simultaneously issued in English, French, German and Italian. Col. J. II. Mapleson of Her Majesty's Opera is working hard to se- cure the right to produee the opera in England and in America and it is believed that he will succeed, though no definite decision will be reached until after the performance here. Verdi is actuated very strongly by gratitude and Col. Mapleson came to his relief once in a very pleasant way. In 1862 the maestro wrote u work for the London Exhibition which was refused by the managers of that en- terprising house. Col. Mapleson came to. his aid and produced the work at Her Majesty's, with Titiens in the music intended for Tamberlik. It was a poor com- position in which God Save the Queen, an tallan hymn, and the ‘‘Marseillaise’’ were curiously mixed, but Verdi never forgave the slight ~~ upon him, nor forgot the cour- tesy of Col. Mapieson. It is upon this feeling that Col. Mapleson reiies in his present appeal to the maestro, and the general opinion is that his faith is well grounded. The Dress Rehearsal. MILAN, February 4.—The full dress rehearsal of *‘Otello’’ took place last evening at the Teatro della Scala. The music of the opera created a great sensation and produced a deep impression upon the listeners, receiving a splendid interpretation by the artists. It is most melodious and much more dramatic to crack it was opened yesterday, b | taken apart piecemeal. The contents — i badly sinoked and biackened by the powder.

A splendid audience filled Music Hall last evening on the occasion of the third concert of the Musical Union. The concerts of this or- ganization are becoming more popular as the season progresses and deservedly so because the managers and the director, Mr. Waldauer, not only give music of a high order in point of quality, but select and arrange the programmes so that all classes of hearers cun enjoy them thoroughly. There is always, too, some special attraction of ex- ceptional merit to add to the value of the en- tertainment. * The concert last evening was unusually at- tractive from the fact that in addition to ex- cellent orchestral selections Mme. L’Alle- mand, the brilliant sopranoof the National Opera Company, and Miss Currie Duke, the charming young violiniste of Louis- ville were present. The introduc- tion to the new opera ‘‘Die Falknu- gen’’ by Edmund Kretschmer was interesting because it was played for the first time nere and proved to be a brilliant composition. Massenet’s ‘‘Scenes de Feerie’’ was charac- teristic and delightful, being-full of tne charm of descriptive music. These and the other or- chestral selections were rendered with ad- mirabie spirit and harmony by the orchestra. Mme. L. Allemand sang tor her first piece Masse’s ‘‘Carnival of Venice,“ arranged for the voice by Benedict. It is a most dim. cult piece of music, but was sun brilliantly by the artist, her vocalizay tion being marvellousiiy skiliful, true and sweet. Mme. |’ Allemand undoubtedly stands at the head of artistes, every note,no matter bow high or light, being as true as steel and sweet-toned as a beil. Her voice has that bird-like quality which makes it ap- pear as if it were floating easily from note to note and were fairly rippling with melody. She gave a baliad in response to an enthusi- asticeucore. Her second piece on the pro- gramme was an air with variations by Proch, which was also exquisitely rendered and to which two responses were demanded, Miss Currie Duke played a balade and persue by Vieuxtemps and a romance b lollander on the violin with admirable skill, which, however, varied at times and was not always brilliant. Miss Duke is a clever artist and was compelled to réspond to demands for repetition to both pieces. She also received two beautiful floral pieces. Amusement Notes.

By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. O., February 4.—Wm. Walter Phelps brought outthe distinguished people who gathered atthe Hiscock dinner Wednesday night for the sole purpose of flat- tering the Senator-elect and impressing him witha sense of his importance. Mr. Hiscock receives much adulation in these days. The attention which comes to him from the Blaine people is very gratifying to him, but itis against Mr. Hiscock’s policy to ever commit himeelf too strongly to any one policy orto any one side. He takes the dinner as a tribute to his moral worth, and will de a good Blaine man when the time comes it it is to his personal ad- vantage, otherwise he will not. SENATOR VAN WYCK. People who are defeated in their political as- irations will find in Senator Van Wyck of ebraska a good subject for profitable study. He bears his defeat like a brave man. e actually smiles without looking as it it pained him, and goes about his business in the Senate without giving, upon the surface, the slightest indication of his political bad fortune. He was out at a reception Wednesdav,the smiling center of a group of ladies, as happy, appar- ently, as if he were a Senator for life. He says he ia not dead yet, and that he expects to come to Congress two years from now.
