Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatchs LONDON, February 8.—Parnell looked like a man from a sick bed as he moved his amend- ment last night. At first he spoke inaconver- sational tone, but towards the close of his speech became much more vigorous, even vehement, in his prophecies of disaster. The House undoubtedly found the speech dull, though it was generally admitted that he succeeded in convicting the Government of flagrant inconsistency in the conduct of Gen. Sir Redvers Buller and Judge Curran in misunderstanding, indeed, he foresaw and expressly repudiated; but late last night, in the political clubs,not less than in the precincts of the House, the Unionists were saying that What he really said was that he wondered that the Government, in restoring coercion, was not warned by the past as shown by tne ploding in the crowded streets of your city. Your public buildings were also threatened and by several other daily evening papers. It is stated here on excellent authority that the German Government is not altogether pleased with its Mauser rifle, and it is to be used only as a stop-gap till a better arm can de dis- covered. THE ALLSOP STOCK SUBSCRIPTION. The subscription for shares in the newly constituted Allsop Brewery Company closed yesterday, and, on the whole, the rush was not as great as expected, though the stock of $16,500,000 was covered many times over. The expectation that there would be a repetition of the Guinness craze, when the applications for $30, ,00,000 of stock reached the enormous figure of $750,000,000, was disappointed, and the shares will possibly not reach the very high premium which speculators hoped for. It is believed that there will be a big drop in these brewery stocks. — — bP... PARLIAMENTARY PORTRAITS. A Dull and Gloomy Day in the House bt Commons. Special Cablegram to the New York Won p. LONDON, February 5.—The idle singer of an empty day was a diligent person compared with the British House of Commons since its latest gathering. The debate on the address to the Queen’s speech, which not long ago was begun and finished in an hour or two before dinner, has grown to the proportions paraded with the plan of eampaign’’ fora finale. What makes it so much worse is that each of the subjects has still to be discussed on informal amendments to the address, the heard in any other way they are determined to move each an amendment for himself in order to speak and be reported at least once before because they know he may spring up and make a glorious scene at any moment, in -" — with William O’Brien when he refuses to enter it again. He writes from United Ireland office: Ioan be of more service here than in the House of Commons, for whose work I have no special aptitude—froin whose detestable pre- cincts it was one of my ambitions to escape. Ee —m—4äümʒ NEED HORSES. In Case of War Europe Must Buy from the United States. Special Cablegram to the New York Wont p. LONDON, February 5.—One of the most strik- ing results of the present war scare has been to direct the attention of almost every Europ- ean Government to its sources of horse sup- ply. Germany was the first to take alarm and last week issued an edict that no more horses should be exported. Russia followed with a ukase of the same kind this week, and Austria will follow their example immediately. Tnat France has no horses to spare is well known. She recently purchased 8,000 in Den- mark and their shipment to France w one of the incidents which frightened Ger- many into issuing her edict against equine ex- portation. The number of horses required by the two European armies when on a war foot- ing is astonishing. The number of those re- quired for military purposes even in time ot peace is enormous. Little Belgium requires no less than 10,000 horses for the peace footing ofherarmy. IfGermany were to go to war ond their accuracy may be depended upon. England is more destitute of cavalry and artillery horses than any of the great powers, A writerin the Daily Telegraph to-day gives could not puttwo army corps into the fleld without having at least 20,000 more half-breed horses than she now possesses; and thatif war lasted six months she would require an addi- ropean armies employ mules except those of Spain and Vortugal, where they are used al- fron 120. 1 a Congress, ae 1, 000 dor, King’s Spool Cotton (500 yards on a spool) | g bleached), bestia America r 24 Tusce rores mag eo tee 7 1 destroy * * but since his one oObrilliant speech | most exclusively for the commissariat service, ree 0 u Am » 400; 80 elsewhere n this ouse nisters were not safe from inch!

It would put about $700,000 into Missouri’s State Treasury, and our Con- gressmen are apt to be a little blind to the faults of any bill which will do that. — — — ar Tun demand for extravagance in na- fional expenditures, for spending money merely for the sake of spending money, uns now taken shape as an issue in mational politics, and its supporters are actively engaged in discovering ways in which money can be spent. As both the great parties are pledged to economy, it is not likely that the visionary advocates of extravagance will prevail, but it is astonishing that they exist. . Tun law of Missouri forbidding the publication of lottery advertisements is as clear as it is strict, and we are pained to see that our esteemed contemporary, the St. Joseph Gazette, is recklessly rendering itself liable to the penalties in such cases made and provided. The Louisiana State Lottery is an enterprise which is not per- mitted to soll its tickets in the State of | Missouri, and the publication of its adver- tisements is an offense as serious as the selling of its tickets. —_—_ — — Ons of the first duties of the President is toappoint the Commissioners provided for by the Interstate Commerce bill. The whole transportation interests of the country are anxious to see how the bill will work in practice, and out of the three hundred names of prominent citizens who have signified their willingness to accept the trust there, must be five com- potent and fit. It is necessary to add that they should be such men as the Senate may be able to approve. 1 — Tn House is taking up the fortification le in the proper spirit. It does not ob- ot to the appropriations in the Senate pills, but iusists on a proviso that they shall be expended only on defenses ap- proved after liberal expepditures for plans, new inventions, tests, eto. In the mechanism of arms and armatures the inventive genius of this country has gen- erally kept ahead of the world, although we are not a military people. With proper ald and encouragement from the Govern- ment, it will soon supply us with defences worth their cost. OCONSUL-GENERAL Porch gave entire but one.

The inability of Congress to deal with the surplus’ does not reflect credit on American statesmanship. When a European Cabinet is called on to take charge of a surplue—such things have happened—it straightway goes to work to reduce taxation. enormous burden of debt the European Governments are always more anxious to reduce taxation than to reduce the debt by continuing taxation. In spite of their In this country we have reduced the debt until reduction can be carried no further without gross waste of money in premiums on anticipated bonds. Instead of making the reduction of tax- ation precede the reduction of the debt we have refused to touch our taxes until compelled to do so by the impossibility of continuing our process of debt re- duction. Now that we are brought face to face with the necessity of lessening the war taxes every disingenuous attempt is made to evade it. The infant industries that we have been protecting at the expense of the public for twenty-five years demand further protec- tion. Forty years after the last shot was fired in the Mexican war it is suddenly dis- covered that the country wishes to pension the veterans. The claim agents at Washington have invented a theory that the pensions granted for the war of the rebellion are not sufficiently comprehensive, and a new pension bill is introduced to load another generation of citizens with a load of taxa- tion. It has also been suddenly discovered and maquoddy Bay rather than reduce taxation. We have gottenalong without an ocean navy very comfortably for nearly thirty years, and now the Jack Bunsbys of finance have discovered that we need a navy at once, and one of the costliest description. The devices which have been invented for spending the people’s money in wasteful schemes make Senator BLaIR’s visionary national school fund look economical and rational. Yet no one pretends that any of these schemes would be started if we had no surplus. No one claims that new taxes would ever be imposed to pay for coast defences, or for a new navy, or for a uni- versal pension bill. They are mere devices for spending money, devised because we have the money to spend. That money does not belong to the gen- tlemen who are spending it, and who are adyising new schemes for spending it. It belongs to the people, and the place for it is in the pockets of the people, to whom it belongs. — . — ed THE TEXT-BOOK JOB, The State of Missouri has succeeded so wellin disposing of the minor issues of railroad regulation, submission and tax- ation, that itis now proposed that it shall go into the business of publishing school text-books for the benefit of the youthful mind ot Missouri. State patriotism demands no less. It has been pointed out that there is nota school-book publishing house in Mis- souri, and therefore it is the business of the State Government to set one up. It is true that spelling-books are published in New York and grammars in Ohio, but they do not meet with the approval of our Legislature. That body will be satisfied with nothing less than Missouri spelling books and Missouri grammars. Geogra- phy must be rewritten to suit the needs of Missouri, arithmetic must be corrected and brought down to modern times, and the children of Missouri are crying for new algebras, which shall be different from the algebras of Illinois or of Penn- sylvania. Penurious economists may object that a State government isa clumsy kind of a machine to use in the delicate business of book-publishing; plain citizens may fall to see what war rant there is for any such fol-de-rol in the sober business of govern- ing a State; practical educators (of course excepting those who will be in the job) will expect the result to be the worst text- books at the highest price; parents, vexed by the constent multiplication and con- fusion of text-books, will anathematize the whole scheme, but all these objections will be in vain. A Legislature which is unable to passa single bill in six weeks will undertake without any hesitation to set the State of Missouri up in the text-book publishing business. THERE can be but one end to the McGlynn case.

Tue removal of ‘‘Porcu, Consul,” by the appointment of a successor is an ar- bitrary violation of every principle which should prevail in our diplomatic and con- sular service. Secretary BaYaRD has given no more reason for his removal than he would give for the discharge of his cook, but the offense of Mr. PORCH was committed when he voiced the senti- ment of the Americans in the City of Mexico over the Sedgwick spree. There was at one time a hope that Bayarp had exhausted his capacity for blundering and that on the theory of chances he could not help doing something right, but this was based on a mistaken view of his capacity. If this is the way he disposes of the Sedg- wick business Heaven help us when he undertakes the fisheries question. Judge Turpie. From the New York Sun. Judge Turpie has done so little in either business or politics during the past ten years that no one objects to him. He has no ene- mies aud no rivals. He stands alone. True, he has had some practicein law, but he has spent most of the time with the boys about the hotels and at other places in Indianapolis where the jolly fellows congregate. Turpic is a good lawyer and an eloquent speaker, but he sel- dom exercises his talents. He has what is considered a comfortable competence, and has not been compelled to battie with the world. Turpie will be popular in Washing- ton. He willbe whatthe politicians call a ‘*Jolly good fellow, and his hospitality will begin on the day he arrives. In personal ap- pearance Judge Turple somewhat resembles Senator Whitthorne of Tennessee. He isa little heavier in avoirdupois, and not so neat in his habit or dress. The Judge has, in fact, no style at all. He wears ready-made cloth- ing and antique beaver hats. He is probably 5 teet 8 inches in height, weighs 165 pounds, wears lron- gray beard on the lower part of his face, and has a complexion of mingled blue and red. He is sluggish, but not stupid, and a happy story teller. He quotes Shakespeare, Homer, and the Bible in the same breath, and takes a street car to go two blocks. Triumphant Again. From the New York WORLD. Once more the WORLD’S claim to exist and to be conducted primarily for the public ser- vice is vindicated. The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted unanimously that the mismanagement of the subsidized Pacific roads, which the WORLD so recently exposed, shall be investigated. It has recommended the appropriation of $100,- 000 for this purpose. It reports in favor of giving the President, through the Law Depart- ment, authority to take such steps as he may, see fit to secure the debt due the Government from these grasping and justice-evading cor- porations. And it recommends an increase in the share of the net earnings to be paid to the Government, from the 25 per cent required by the Thurman Act, to 40 per cent. After such a report no oblivion-seeking funding bill will stand a chance in Congress. The books must be examined before they are closed. This is the answerof the Judiciary Committee to the Tweed-echo of Senator Stanford, saying ‘‘it is no concern of the people’’ what was done with $2,000,000 of un- explained disbursements. And this is the answer, too, to the sneers of an envious ora shackled press that the WORLD’S exposures were an oid story. A Survey of New York’s Morals. From the Cleveland Leader. If you wish to get a good idea of the manners and morals of men and women in New York, visit frequently the first-class restaurants, such as Delmonico’s, the Brunswick,Morelli’s, Taylor’s, Martinelli’s and the cafes of leading hotels. You need not fear; your judgment will not lead you astray. Ladies think no more of drinking a pint of wine with their luncheon or dinner than they do of drinking a glass of water. Atoneof the above-mentioned places last night, where wine is included with the dinner, ours was the only table without wine, and we seemed to fall correspondingly low in the opinion of our stylish French waiter. Before the dinner is finished the color begins to rush into the faces of the ladies, and when they leave the room they are fully under the influence of the wine; not drunk, no, no, but ‘‘braced up’’ for the ride home and the ordeal of getting ready for some evening en- tertainment, after which, in New York, ladies and gentlemen generally have supper, with wine, ofcourse. It is a fact that numbers of women are obliged to ‘‘sober off’’ and to wear off“ for three or four months or be- come permanent wrecks, Birds Which Toasted Their Backs. From the Palatka Fu.) Herald. On the coldest morning of our late disagree- able spell of weather the fishermen built a large fre on a point projecting into the river from East Palatka, and, after warming them- selves, went on with their fishing and left the fire burning. Returning after a time they were surprised to see a gromp of some fifty or sixty buzzards standing about the fire, kicking up all sorte of antics. Not understanding such proceedings the boats were rowed up pretty close, and the occupants watched the birds for some time. It was a very cold morn- ing, and the birds would stand with one side to the fire until it was warm, and then they would deliberately turn around and warm the other side. Those on the outside of the group would get so eager to get within the warmth of the fire that they frequently crowded the birds on the inside nearly into the flames, and the struggle was waged fierce and bitter for advantageous positions. Material for a Sensation. From the Boston Traveller. The Post-office Department has a sensation brewing which will rival that of the famous Wilson-Moen mystery. One of the messengers in that department, who receives but $604 month from the Government has astonished his associates by the frequency and regularity of certain remittances. Generally he received $100 a week, but sometimes he showed or- ders for ag much as $600. The messenger has several traite like Wilson, but he does not seem to how to keep his mouth shut as well as Worcester piaintif. In various him a handsome st when he was married. After his arrival in America this same Senator prooured him his present place in the Post- office Department. A Headquarters. Congress is still in session, and the Pres!- dent is trying to earn his salary, and the Cab- inet buzz about the White House like old-time commissaries and ters about army headquarters, mounted on the best horses and dressed to kif. This isto kill the ladies and their clerks, no other game being available or in sight. In Washington it is all epaulets and stars and bars, and gold lace and gilt scab- bards. They care precious little and do pre- cious littl for the boys in the trenches, who man the rifle pita and keep watch and guard upon the picket line. They are good only to vote and can be relied on to vote right. In one respect, at least, the President is a good Christian. He takes more joy in one Repub- lican who has repented and becomea Mug- wump than in ninety and nine Democrats who have never gone astray. Cleveland’s Opportunity. From the New York WorRLD. ; The time is growing shott, but there is still the opportunity open to him. If Mr. Cleveland will show himself a Jackson in resisting with boldness and vigor the extravagance and reck- lessness of Congress; if he will show himself a Tilden in grasping by the throat and throttling even one of the insolent rings that have fastened their devil-fish tentacles upon the people and the Government; if he will reform some great abuse, stop some glaring jobbery, and do a resolute act, showing his sympathy with the people, he may yet make himself the leader they are looking for. He cannot do it by pursuing the course he has thus far per- sisted in following. A Widow of Wit and Courage, From the St. Paul Globe. Mrs. John Lute, in Sargent County, is a widow with genuine Dakota pluck. Three years ago her husband secured a claim and he filled the first grave in the town of Sargent about a year ago. The widow was left with the claim, a cabin and five children under ten years of age, and with her own hands she is making a living for them off the land. Last fall a miscreant stole 100 bushels of her wheat. One of the coldest days recently she went alone three miles to haula load of straw for her stock; the load upset and she reloaded, with the thermometer 25 deg. below zero. She will come throug, all right, but her task isnot an inviting one, even for a Dakota woman. MEN OF MARE. Mn. D. R. LOCKE (Nasby), editor and pro- prietor of the Toledo Blade, isin very poor health. GILBERT, the English librettist, has not seen one of his plays acted for fourteen years, owing to excessive nervousness. ExX-MayoR OAKEY HALL has become s0 thoroughly Anglieized that he declares he never expects to see America again. RECORDER MATTHEWS, the colored states- man, still continues to fulfill the duties of the office of which he has temporary control with- out the consent of the Senate. LORD RANDOLPH CHURCGHILL has started on a journey to Algiers, by the advice of his physician, with a view to building up his health, which lately has been very poor. ROSWELL P. FLOWER has sent his check for $250 to the New York WorLD fund for the en- dowment of a national musicai conservatory in that city, thus swelling the amount to the sum of $2,567. . W. R. Honx, a leading Boston Republican, says the Republicans ot that city have about soured on Edmunds, don’t want Blaine, but will vote for John Sherman in preference to any other man in the nation. L. Q. RounDs, a Michigan school teacher, has been arrested for unprofessional conduct, said unprofessional conduct being the habit of kissing all the young lady pupils in his schoo! twice every day just for fun. Tux late Lord Iddesleigh was not, as has been supposed, one of the founders of the Guardian, the Church of England organ. But formany years he was one of the principal writers for its columns. He never would ac- cept any pay for his articles, however. THE story is started in the newspapers that Ben Butler, who hanged Mumford in New Orleans for hauling down the American flag in 1862, found his widow in straitened circum- stances after the war and secured her a good clerkship in the Interior Department in Wash- ington. Ir grows more and more apparent, on in- vestigation, that Shakspeare used a great deal of what sounds like modern slang. The Roch- ester Post-Express calls attention to the clos- ing lines of the 144th sonnet: Yet this sball I ne’er know, but live in doubt Till my bad angel fire my good one out. GEORGE R. Sirus, the English playwright and story-writer, has received nearly $10,000 from his plays produced in the United States during the past five years. He has an interest in a London newspaper which pays him hand- somely, and his stories always command good prices from the publishers. — — WOMEN OF THE WORLD, Miss ALICE B. Jonpan, LL.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New Tonk, February 8.—The WORLD says: „ gome of Mr. Blaine’s most intimate friends are vehemently assertirg that he will not seek the Republican nomination in 1888. He may not exactly seek it when the convention meets, but in the meantime he will secretly make some of the greatest efforts of his life in ar- ranging to have the nomination violently thrust upon him on a silver plate. This plan is ingenious, but in its execution the wheels and pulleys are very apt to come into view at unseasonabie times.’’ The Tribune says; It Congress could find some way to — . the claim agents at Washington it would do the country the great- est service. Mr. Springer related in the House on Saturday an instance where an ent de- ducted $500 as his fee from a $1,200 claim al- lowed by Congress. The enormous increase in the number of private bills is principally due to the activity of this class of attorneys. If allsuch warrants were.delivered direct to the claimants in person or through the mails it would prevent many cases of extortion.’’ THE SUN.

What the country wants is immediate action; not protracted de- bate ending in nil. This, we say, is only a beginning. Other measures of self-defense demand egually prompt attention. Between forts, guns and ships $75,000,000 might be voted by this Congress without passing the line that diyides wise economy from extravagance.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: Mr. Randall did not aston - ish his friends or his enemies yesterday when he let the day pass without by? bn to get a revenue reduction bill before the House. It was in all probability his last chance and he knew it. That is why he did not use it. Now he can go before the country in the role of a martyr economist—the role which he may be said to have created and which he has acte as long as Jefferson has acted Rip—and protes that he has done all he could to cut down the taxes but the rascally free-traders will have none ofit. Wedon’t suppose that Mr. Randal! expects agreat many people to believe him when he talks in this way, but he hopes a sufficient number will do so to warrant his Re- publican managers in Pennsylvania in contin- uing their engagement with him which, if not popular, has been very profitabie.’’ ANSWERS TO COBRRESPONDENTS.

Miss Geraldine Ulmar is here rehearsing with the company. A GRAND SUCCESS. Special reports in all the London papers unite in asserting that Verdi’s ‘‘Otello’’ per- formed for the first time at Milan on Saturday night was a great success. The Times had a special dispatch three columns im length and says it was one of the most remarkable per- formances of modern times. Speaking of the opera generally the correspondent says: ‘*Verdi has conceived the task in a serious manner, regardiess of ephemeral applause. ‘Otello’ marks another step in the path ot re- form commenced somewhat timidly in ‘Don Carlos’ and triumphantly continued in + Aida.’ I He thinks that the quartette in the second act will rival the masterpiece of the same form in ‘‘Rigoletto’’ and he bestows the very highest praise on the lovers’ duet between Otello and Desdemona in the first act.. What is called the trio of handkerchiefs in the third act, and the willow song aud Ave Maria“! of Desdemona in the fourth act, all are marked and beautiful creations of the highest musical nius. Arrangements ave already een made o produce ‘*Otello’’ in Paris next autumn, with Maurel in the part of Iago, and oer pg | afterwards it is to be given at Brussels. It is to be per- formed at Venice in the spring in connection with the exhibition of ne arts there. No ar- rangement has yet been made for its produc- tion in London; but it is expected that Carl Rosa may have the libretto translated and bring it out here in England. -_ LS FEREEDERICK WARDE, A Brief and Interesting Chat With the Tragedian. There is no more approachable tragedian on the stage than Mr. Frederick Warde. He com- bines two qualities not often found in one man —studiousness and good-feilowship. He plays a repertoire which involves a vast amount of labor, and devotes to it constant care and study, which are manifest in finer work every season, but at the same time he enjoys a 2 cigar and com- anionship in his hours of relaxation. There sno time that relaxation is more welcome than after the strain of a hard scene in a tragedy. A PoOsT-DISPATOH reporter, therefore, who crepeed behind the scenes last evening, found Mr. Warde in the spare time between his appearances on the stage, in chatty mood, freshening himself for the next, There is no young actor who has given him- self up to the legitimate drama, and particu- larly to Shakspeare, with more unswerving devotion and his work is telling and the te- wards are coming in on him. he conversa- tion naturally turned on Brutus, the charac- ter, which was his mood for the evening. Po you know, said he, there is no char- acter which so appeals to me as Brutus. There is a grandeur about him, an honesty of heartand purpose, a gentleness which al- ways belongs to the strong which is indescribably charming. I used to watch McCullough in the tent scene with a fascination I cannot explain. There was a suggestion of deep sorrow and overhanging despair expressed in his words which culmi- nated inthe sentence ‘Portiais dead,’ that influenced me strongly. There ies a fine sub- mission to fate, to misfortune in a cause hon- estly believed to be justin his death and the finest eulogy ever pronounced on a man is spoken over his ee + A man never knows anvthing until e knows now ig norant he is and a ase of Shak- speare gives him this knowledge rapidly. I never pick up my book nor think about a line that I do not find something new. I shud- der to think of what I attempted with ardor and confidence ten years agoin the light of after experience.’’ Lou are including ‘Galba’ in your regular repertoire? ’ ‘Yes, you know I played it here last season on Saturday night only for trial. The pro- duction this year is a vast improve- ment over that performance and Ithink will make a favorable impression on the St. Louis people. I produced it in New York with success. There I added a bailet which, of course, increased the spectacular effect, but was unnecessary and superfluous, and the play is just as good without it. I think a good deal of the production.’’ Will you devote yourself to it?“ No. I cannot consent to sacrifice my repertoire, or to make myself in any sense a one-part actor. If the public like it as I think it will { shall “ve it a prominent place in my repertoire, and, where play two weeks, per- haps devote a week to it. The chat turned on Wilson Barrett, whom Mr. Warde said he met in England when Mr. Barrett was still in the ranks, and met again for the first time in Cincinnati for afew min- utes. He said he would take him to be a man witn the courage of his convictions and ready to do about what he thinks right. The only other play besides ‘‘Galba’’ which Mr. Warde ves twice during the week is ‘‘Virginius.’’ tig one of his favorite and strongest roles, and will be given again Friday evening. — 2 will be given to-night and Saturday nig * A CLEAN STEAL. Mr. Gilbert’s New Libretto Said to Be a ö Plagiarism. From the New York Tribune. LONDON, February 5.—John Brougham in 1864 wrote a buriesque melodrama for ama- teurs, which was entitled The Orimson Mask,’’ and was produced at Beaufprt House. In this Mr. Gilbert played the Count, It is now stated by those who witnessed i that it is identical with . with the addition of the ao Ago cident. In consequence of the cr on the pa the second act has been changed. The pictures, with the exception of one, no longer come down from the frames. The co of the name has also been altered from ‘‘Ruddygore’’ to Ruddigore. The y houses are packed, as they always are in Lon- don, but the opinion is universal that the thing will bea worse failure in the provinces and America than ‘‘Iolanthe.’’ , WARDE AS BRUTUS.

There has been and is an association of street car menin the city, proprietors and managers of street car lines. They have nota very close organization; it is simply a com- bine’’ for mutual profit and protection. Since the advent of Charles Green into the street- car business he has been working for a closer association—an amalgamation, in fact, of all the companies. Other street car men looked with favor upon the plan, dut owing to Mr. Green’s many business cares he has not been able to prose. cute it to successful accomplishment. Others of the interested, however, worked to that end, and a reporter of the Post-DIspatcs learned to-day on the best of authority thata scheme for the consolidation of all the street car companies inthe city with the exception of the Sixth street and the cables has not suc- ceeded because John Scullin, the proprietor of the Union Depot lines, the Mound City and the Jefferson avenue lines demands the ad. mission of his propertieson a valuation basis that is considered excessive by the other com- panies. Hewishestoretire from the street car business entirely and devote all his atten- tion to the Wiggins Ferry Company. Hislines have not had much of his attention fora year and it is said he has lost money on the Califor- nia Avenue Road and the Yellow Car line to his Gravois Koad stables. The profits of the other roads have not been large. Mr. Scullin wishes the ‘‘eombine’’ to believe in the poten- tial value of his properties. The cable people have been talking to bim, and the local street-car men are watching him with some trepidation, He, however, as- sured a friend that the cable people would not pay him anywhere near what he believed he should have and that he would probably go into the consolidated company. In event he does not enter it on an acceptable basis the combination will be effected. Mr. Chas. Green will be the President, though the man- agement will devolve upon some other person who will be appointed. It is believed by those interested that the lines can be better man aged, better equipped and make more money under one management than under the pres- ent arrangements. : THE FRUIT-CANNERS. Preparation for Their Entertainment and Reception—Tinners’ Convention. The annual convention of the Western Canned Goods Packers’ Association wil! be held at the Lindell Hotel to-morrow morning. The association, which has been in existence but three years, has, by the interchange of their experiences as to methods of business, led to great improvement in the industry, The association is composed of the principal ackers west of New York State and east of olorado. The last convention, which ww in Chicago, adjourned to meet in &. held Louls. An informal meeting of the local members of the association was held yesterday in the salesrooms ofthe Greeley-Burubam GrocerCo., to considera method of appropriately wel. coming the visitors to the city. Committees of entertainment and reception were ap, ay and it was decided to give a banquet the visiting members on Thursday evening. A meeting of the entertainment committee was called for to-day to consider other features of entertainment.

The public celebration of the jubilee will in- volve a considerable outlay, for which a Par- liamentary grant will be necessary. The cor- onation of the Queen cost about $200,000, as against $250,000 for that of King William IV. and $1,000,000 for that of King George IV. In many respects the coronation forms a prece- dent tor the jubilee. I hear that there is to be aspecial meeting of the Privy Council next month, when he proposed arrangements and estimates will be submitted. Tothis Council willbe summoned the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Cabinet, the general officers of the Royal household, the Arch- bishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishop of London, Lord Hartington, Lord Granville, Mr. Gladstone and Lord Sydney. The detais will subsequently be settled by a committee se- lected from the above personages, with one or two additions, and permanent officials by whom all the real work will doubtless be done. The rough estimate for the thanksgiving ser- vice at Westminster Abbey will be $60,000.

Jack Dempsey’s work in this city during the week sustains the impression that heis nota four-round fighter, says the Philadelphia Record. Dempsey himself admits that he is always nervous on going into a contest, and says it takes one or two good punches to steady him; consequently he doesn’t get fairly under way before the third or fourth round. It is very probable that Jack Fogarty could have made a much better showing with men Dempsey met than E did. Boden for two rounds chased the champion middle- weight around in a way that made the spectators laugh. Langdon’s want of skill made him little more thana mark for Demp- sey, and yet he was not knocked out. Killen fairly held his own for three rounds, getting in blow for blow, but N had the better of the fourth round. In a fight to a finish, however, Dempsey would have no difficnity in defeating any one of the three. Dempsey’s share of the receipts of the Comique forthe week was only a trifle short of $1, The men who met him got $25to spar, and $60 if they stayed four rounds, Each man stayed four rounds and got his $50. Jake Kilrain and Jack Fogarty are talking of doubling up and doing the ‘‘Wild West’’ to gether. They would makeagreat pair and should — 2 ae any men of equal weight they would likely to meet. Fogarty will go to Pittsburg to fight ‘‘Reddy’’ Gallagher with small gloves toafinish fora $1,000 purse in aboutsix weeks. It is the same Gallagher that Pete McCoy fought at Cleveland.

Shortly before 4 o’clock yesterday after- noon William H. H. Davisson, the 17-year-old son ot State Senator Davisson, who shot little 15-year-old Lizzie Croghan, Saturday evening, was arrested by Officer Moore ina vacant lot on Jefferson and Park avenues, hiding behind a pile of stones. The two youths who ran off with him at the time of the shooting were wit him when arrested. Officer Moore brought the trio to the Four Courts, where they were all searched. Nothing of any consequence being found on the other boys, they were soon released, but Davisson was locked up in the holdover. On him were found the revolver with which he shot the girl, and clippings from the Sunday papers detailing the occurrence. This morning he was visited in his cell by a Post-DisPatcn reporter, and questioned concerning the affair. He is a tall, slender youth and looks fully one year older than he actually is. Hetakes his arrest very coolly, and says that he knows he did a ve ridicuious thing, and that he has to laug himself when he thinks of it. A TALK WITH HIM. ‘‘Idon’tknow what made me do t.“ said he. ‘‘I guess I must have had a fit. How lon have [known the girl? About three years guess. Yes, I have been going with ber all the time, not constantly, but calling on hera couple of times a week. It was simply a love affair. Ididn’t think I was so awful badly gone on her, butI guessI must have been. he 15 a pretty nice looking little girl, but I don’t know what made me get so badly gone. I only spoke to her once about that boy Thiers. He only called on her a few times, I believe, and I asked her once which one of us she wanted to go with. That was all I ever said to her about going with otner fellows. Saturday night I was going to the theater with the two fellows that were arrested with me yesterday, and 1 don’t know wey I did so, but when I saw her coasting down Hickory street I called her. I had no intention of doing anything to her, but just 1 I would speak to her. When she caine up lasked her who SHE WAS COASTING with, and she said some girls and Anton Thiers. He is a little fellow, a brother of the other Thiers, and I didn’t mind her coasting with him, so I said ‘All right,’ and started to go. I don’t know what made me do it, I guess I must have gota fit or something, for atter I turned around to go Il went back and shot her. After shooting her you bet I got pretty badly scared. IthoughtI had killed her and was going to give * * up, but the boys with me told me not to do so. We went to the People’s Theater that night and slept at a lodging- house on Morgan street. Sunday we took a ridè on the Cable cars and loafed around Forest Park. Yesterday morning we were sitting in La- fayette Park and one of the fellows’ father and a detective saw us and we broke andrun. A woman saw us jumping the fence in Benton place near the park and followed us to Jefferson avenue. Then we were seen by some drivers that knew us. Wesaw Officer Moore coming and knew he was after us, but wedid notrun. We merely held down our headsand gave him wrong names when he asked who we were. He knew us though, and arrested us. Davisson is employed at Drummond’s tobacco factory as an assistant to his father, Who is engineer there. He says he left town once before but had no intention of doing so this time, as he knew he would be captured and brought back. THE GIRL’S CONDITION. The girl, Lizzie Croghan, is resting quietl to-day and the chances for herrecovery ar now very favorable. ASSAULT TO KILL. A warrant for assault to kill was issued this afternoon against young Davisson, Officer Moore swearing to the information.

JUDGE THAYER DECIDES THE COUNTY RAIL- ROAD CASE ADVERSELY. The Stockholders Delayed the Suit Too Long— A Remarkable Series of Transfers—Com.- fort for Taxpayers From Judge Valliant —Matters in Divorce To-Day—A Mother’s Application — Cases of Interest Deter- mined. d Judge Thayer to- day rendered a decision in the suit of Edward Burgess and others against the St. Louis County Railroad Company and others. The Court is of the opinion that the demurrer to the amended petition should be sustained. It was contended for the petitioners that the action should be treated as one in ejectment in behalf of the St. Louis County Railroad Company, but brought in the name of one of its stockholders because the corporation itself refused to sue. It is held, however, that the corporation could not maintain the action because the legal title to the property is not in the corporation. Tne petition disclosed no less than eight transfers of the property in eleven years. Ail the conveyances were made under color of authority by the successive grantors, and one of them appears to have been made dy the Sheriff under a judg- ment establishing a contractor’s lien. A recovery cannot be had in ejectment until a court of equity shall have declared the invalid- ity of the successive conveyances. All of the various grantors and grantees are necessary parties to a bill to cancel and annul deeds upon which their own title depends. Messrs. Dyer & Garland-purchased at the Sheriff’s sale and subsequently made a conveyance to Mr. Tiernan and Mr. Stewart, but they were not made parties to this suit; neither was the con- tractor madea party. The petition likewise fails to show in what way Mr. Dwight Durkee figures as a party defendant. The courts have frequently refused to interfere in respect of the acts of a corporation that are simply ultra vires after the act has been consummated and a considerable period has been suffered to elapse before a complaint is made. The agree- ment between the bondholders and stock- holders of the St. Louis County Railroad Company was entered into several years ago and no attempt was made at the time to re- strain action under it. The successive runtees spent considerable money in improv- ae the property and it passed tothe present owners under lien sales. Even acourt of equity, Judge Thayer thinks, could well refuse to disturb conveyances originally executed in pursuance of an agree- ment that was ultra vires, unless the com- lainant can show some valid excusefor the ong delay in bringing the suit. Important to Taxpayers. Judge Valliant to-day rendered a decision in acase of some interest to taxpayers. The suit was brought by the Collector against on Front street. The lot was regularly assessed for 1876, and atax-bill was rendered which the suit was brought, purporting to be for taxes for the improvements for the same ments were omitte The Collector, for the The Court, however, holds that it does not A Case for Creditors, Judge Dillon to-day rendered a decision in favor of the defendantin the suit of Geo. A. Banantine against John I. Cantwell. In 1883 the L. W. Hemp Tinware Company was in- debted to the plaintiff in the sum of $1,573.95, and was endeavoring to effect acompromise with its creditors. Mr. Cant- well wrote to the plaintiff, stating that if he would accept a compromise on the basis of 60 per cent, he would guarantee the payment of the balance of the claim. The suit was brought on this guarantee. The evidence showed that while the plaintiff signed the composition agreement = when the composition notes were sent to im he declined to receive them saying that he preferred to let the account and the old notes staud in statu quo. The company made an assigninent three months later, and the plaintiff proved up and was allowed Dy the assignee the whole of his original claim, and received a dividend on the same. The Court holds that in view of the facts it could not be held that the plaintiff accepted the compromise, and, therefore, he did not comply with the conditions of Mr. Cantwell’s guarantee. Judgment is entered in favor of the defendant. The Divorce Docket. 1 Kate Wilson Barry seeks a decree of divorce from Charies Barry.

The West-End Carriers’ Kick for a Day of Rest. A complaint having reached the Posr Dis- PATCH Office that the West-End mail carriers are not treated fairly in the matter of Sunday work, in that they are not given a Sunday off, the authorities at the Post-office were seen about it. Assistant Postmaster Me- Henry said: ‘‘The whole complaint is doubtless founded on the squad system. This system isa happy arrangement among the carriers of the main office, by which three or four carriers agree to take up all of an- other's collections on a certain Sunday, he helping to relieye another the next Sunday andsoon. By this each member of the squad gets one Sunday off in three. The workings of such a plan can only be satisfactorily car- ried out in the short routes, and could not be applied tothe West End. Why, just look at it. A carrier in the West End has a route that extends over a territory of three miles, say. Now, suppose he agrees to take another’s route that day too, he will find him. self with six miles to cover. He might get over this ground if he could begin his collec- tions, as formerly, at two o’clock Sunday afternoon, but the new rule prevents the touching of a letter-box until 4 o’ clock. THE IDEA THAT A CARRIER can Walk six miles, make his collections properly and get them to the office in an nour and three-quarters is absurd. It is notso, however, down town where the routes are onl a few blocks in size. You must understand also that it is in the West End that the correspondence is heaviest on Sundavs. Few business men do any writing on that day, but with the ladies it is different. Released from social and domestic duties their fancy has full play and drives their pen over countless sheets of tinted, scented paper. A carrier after a Rip Van Winkle sleep could tell the da of the week as soon as he would touch the Sunday contents of the mail-box and note the many cute little envelopes and miniature missives that the day of rest had evolved.’’ Getting off this romantic strain Mr. Mce- Henry stated that if the West End carriers could bring out any plan which would enable them to squad without interfering with the promptness of the collection, the main office would be glad to hear of it, and would not offer any objection to putting it in operation, OUR NEIGHBORS.

BISHOP’S FIRST EXHIBITION OF “THOUGHT TRANSFEBENCES” IN NEW YORE. An Empty Chair for Mr. Henry Labouchere —Ferreting Out a Supposititious Assassin- ation—Finding One of the Audience Whese Name Was Written on a Folded Slip of Paper—An Interesting Exhibition. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEw YORK, Febuuary 8.—There was a an empty chair on the stage at Steinway Hall last evening. Washington Irving Bishop, the mind-reader, said it was for the occupancy of Henry Labouchere. He always reserved a seat for this English critic of bis, once his friend, now his enemy, and also his debtor to the extent of £1,000. That's Mr. Bishop’s side of the result of a wager between the virile English journalist and the nervous and marvelously successful young man who has led scientific persons to talk so much about ‘‘thought transferences’’ and muscular con- trol, and a lot of other theories with more or less singular names, given to the peculiar gift or trick he possesses, and which he, in a spirit of heretic self-abnegation, called ‘‘Bishopism.’’. It was his first appear- ance here. He wanted to prove that he was not the charlatan Mr. Labouchere said he was. The 1,500 people in the hall selected a committee to see that Bishop was given a fair show and the audience had one also. The committee consisted of A. S. Hamersley, a lawyer; Harrison Millard, the song writer; Col. Thos. W. Knox, James Francis, Prof. Lyon, Dr. Hill, Dr. Kingsley, Dr. Tonner, Dr, Hoyt, Dr. Brown, T. B. Musgrave, David Kirby and Smith Clift. First Bishop tried to ferret out a supposititious assassination done by Mr. Hamersley, who hid thedagger with which he was supposed to have stabbed hisvictim. Mr. Bishop failed to either find the dagger or the person who was stabbed, though he called Dr. Kingsley to his aid to assist him. He got close to the spot wheré the dagger was hid and then Dr. Kingsley acknowledged that he did not know just where the dagger was. But when Dr. Kingsley committed the crime and hid the weapon, Bishop succeeded in REPRODUCING THE SCENE in its entirety, working up from its conclusion to its inception. The name of a gentleman in the audience was written on paper and en- closed inanenvelope. Bishop failed at first to find the man, but when he called on Col. Knox to come and assist in the search, he not only went to a blackboard and wrote the name Quigley on it, but rushed into the audience with both committeemen, put his hand on Mr. Quigley’s baid head at bis first attempt, and remarked: If you are not Mr. Quigley or Quigby, I want you to leave the hall, for I’m getting tired. It was Quigley. He remained in his seat, and the audience applauded. Then the physicians examined Bishop’s pulse and found that it beat 148 times a minute, and they did not wonder that he was tired. Prof. Lyon went into the audi ence, stole something from three different persons, tied the articles in a handkeéfchief and hid the lot. Other members of the com- mittee had Bishop in custody where he could not see anything of the operation. Blind- folded Bishop took Prof. Lyon bythe hand, rushed out into the hall, found the stolen goods, convicted the Professor of the theft iu each case and restored the stolen prop- erty, 8 up the affair by thrusting the handkerchief in which the stolen goods had been done up into the very ocket of A. P. Wilder’s coat from which *rof. Lyon had originally taken it. Bishop went further still when, with Harrison Mil- lard, he wentto the piano ana had Mr. Millard think of a familiar hymn. He thought and Bishop fooled about the keys of the piano for ve minutes, striking various chords while Mr. Millard’s hands rested on his. Finally he asked for pencil and paper, wrote a name on it and handed it to one of the doctors, and asked him to seal it. It was Mi. Bishop’s guess as to the tune Mr. Millard was thinking of. Mr. Kingsley wrote the guess on the back of one blackboard, while Bishop PLAYED, ‘‘HOME SWEET HOME,’’ and Mr. Millard said that wasthe air he was thinking of. Mr. Millard was so good asub- ject that Bishop had him write the name ofa lady onaslip of paper, enclosing it in an en- velope and give it to a committeeman. Bishop found the lady seated away back in the hall. Bishop made the audience think he had failed by rushing back to the stage with Mr. Millard. He snatched the bandage from his eyes, took a handsome bouquet from the table, left the stage, went over the same route he bad been with Millard, bandedayoung lady the en- velope and asked her if it contained her name. It did, and the young miss received the bou- uet,and Bishop received gratifying applause. Tuen came the test of the evening, the one that led to the Labouchere-Bishop contro- versy, the reading of the number of bank notes. Six men from the committee selected the note, one with five figures. They then came back to the halland announced that no one but themselves had seen it. Bishop stood blindfolded in front of the blackboard. Dr. Hoyt put one hand on Bishop’s head and Col. Knox took his left hand. With his right Bishop traced with chalk on the board the figures 55, - 459. Then he hesitated, He went over them again and changed the! 5 to a9, and the last figure to ans and finally changed the second figure tou 2. He was to have two trials at each figure before giving up the test, in accordance with the terms of the Labouchere test. He did not want them, however, for when his work was accomplished, after considerable bothering with the fourth * the number on the board read: 52,498. r Hoyt said that was the number of the note, and Col. Knox showed the note to the committeemen before it was returned to its owner, to prove that Bishop had succeeded. Mr. Bishop then said: Now, after showing the people of my native city how I. won my bet with Mr. ouchere and r I hope, that he owes me $5,000 and that I'm not the charlatan he says I nigh 83 I may be, I'II bid you good 1,000 CLOCKS FROM 61.20 TO $100.

Christ Ploeser. Though etalwart, strong and industrious, disease laid its blighting hand upon him as it sometimes does upon the hale and hearty, but more frequentiy upon the weak. Christ Ploeser’s wisdom lay in his early recognition of the fact that a remedy was necessary. He sought the advice of a physician. ‘‘What is your trouble?’’ the doctor asked him. »The most serious one is a pain in the top of my head that bothers me so thatI can’t sleep at night. **W hat else?’’ „J have a constant cough and a pain in my forehead.
