Broiling can be done in the oven of the Charier Oak Range or Stove with the Wire Gauze Oven Door, more perfectly than over the live coals. Lay the steak, chops, ham or fish on a wire broiier or meat rack, placing it in an ordinary bake pan to catch the drippings. Allow it to remain in the oven with the door closed 15 or 20 minutes. No turnin 98 At the end of this time it wi found nicely cooked ready to serve. THIS 1S THE IDEAL WAY TO BROIL MEATS. There is no taint of coal-gas or smoke, and the meats are more tender and better in flavor than those broiled over the coals. The convenience or broiling in the oven will be appreciated by every house-keeper, and adds another to the many reasons why the Charter Oak Range or Stove with tho Wire Gauze Oven Door should be preferred to all others now in the market. t Iced 4 NEW NOVELS.

AN AMERICAN FIRM MAKING DROP-HAM- MERS FOR THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT. ~ The Hammers to Be Used in the French Arsenals—Outrages by Liquor Men at Mount Bridges, Canada—The Miner Strike in Scotland—An Important Rent Decision in Ireland—Parnell’s Probable Retirement from Active Foreign News. By Telegraph to the Fosr-Drer ren. the Eastern District of Brooklyn is at all times houses and the immense factories generally located along the river front. For the past week, however, unusual activity has reigned inthe neighborhood, at the machine shops located there. A large force of workmen have been engaged there during the day, and even night large extent. gaged in the The firm manufacture of is mainly en- it is filling large orders for the French Govern- ment was investigated yesterday by the Post- DISPATCH correspondent and found to be true, The workmen employed in the factory are very reticent as to that matter. The reporter ascertained, however, that the firm had re- ceived an order from the French Government through Louis De Bebian, agent of the steam- number of drop hammers to be used in the Government arsenal for the manufacture of guns. E. M. Merrill, one ot the firm which is executing the order, was seen and asked to tellaboutthe drop-bammer to be shipped on the 16th of the present month. THE PROP HAMMERS. „Tes, we are making a large number of drop-hammers. That is our business,’’ he said. ‘‘Idecline to state whether we havea contract with the French Governmentor any one else. Mercantile firms are not usually in the habit of conversing about the affairs of their customer. One informant stated the order was for eighty machines, one of which is being ship- ped each week, and that thirty had already been shipped. In another quarter it was learned that the next shipment would be made on Wednesday next, the 16th, and that the firm was now working night and day on the order. The machines de- ing made cost about $2,000, and are paid for by Mr. De Bebian. This is not the first occasion on which the same firm has been applied to by European Powers for machinery. During the winter of 1872 and 1873 it made drop hammers costigg $20,000 for the Providence Tool Company, which firm supplied the Turk- ish Government with a large amount of arms. During the same time a numberof machines were shipped direct to the Government Arsenal in Germany with which many of the guns carried by the victors ofthe Franco-Prussian war were made. A practical . machinist said the drop hammer was purely an American invention. It is a contrivance whereby a heavy hammer ranging in weight from 300 to 1,800 pounds can be lifted in varying heights from three feet ten inches to six feet. All the power thus represented can be governed by the simple movement ofa treadle. The hammer has at- tached to it dies in shapes of whatever is de- sired to de made. The machine is invaluable in the making of interchangeable parts which are being cast in any quantity ana all uni- form. Iv advantage in the manufacture of fire-arms, where the time taken in construc- tion is an important one, makes the machine in great demand. The European Exchanges.

Mr. Bright says: ‘‘My views regarding Liberal reunion have remained unchanged since I spoke at Birmingham iu July. What has happened since has confirmed the views 1 then expressed. I attribute the break in the Liberal party to the unwisdom of its leader, and to the most deplorable abandonment bythe buik of party of its po- sition and policy at taat leader’s invita- tion or command. They talked and voted on measures few understood, accepting them from a popular Minister.

In- spector Robertson’s house was broken into, the front door and window smashed in, and havoc made generally among the furni- ture. Two shots were fired in the hallway, fortunately without injury to anyone. The house of Rev. Mr. Silcox, who has been an active worker against them, was also attacked, but they were discovered before any damage was done. Rev. J. E. Moore,a Methodist clergyman, was the next victim, all the win- dow glass sone 1 Out ot the front of the house and the front door broken in. A revolver shot was fired through the window at Mr. Moore podatng in the wall without doing him any harm. Several other outrages of similar character have been perpetrated, and threats are madeto burn the houses of all those who make any further attempt to en- force the temperance act. — —— — PARNELL, His Probable Retirement From Active Lead- ership of His Party. Lonpon, February 1l.—Mr. Edward A. Perry bas cabled to his paper, the Boston Herald, the following regarding Parne!l’s probable re® tirement from active leadership of the Irish Parliamentary party: The outright denials of the reports that Mr. Parnell intended to re- linguish the leadership of the Irish Parlia- mentary party, which were so freely made on Saturday, have given place to admissions that he will probably withdraw from active partici- pation in pubiic affairs after action is taken in the House of Commons on the amendments which he offered to- night to the address in reply to the speech from the throne. But with these ad- missions are coupled assertions that the with- drawal will be only for a brief period—three or four weeks, some say—in order that he may hasten his restoration to health by complete rest. I have, therefore, again interviewed the gentleman whose hint on the subject early last week first led me to make the careful investigation upon which my dispatch of Friday was based. He reiterated his former assertion with emphasis, and again declared as positively as before that the Irish statesman had fully made up his mind to re- sign the active leadership to other hands. „Mr. Parnell may nominally occupy the posi- tion forsome little time to come,’’ said my informant, ‘‘but it will be only nominally, for he cannot bear the continued strain entailed by heading his party in the House, and his at- tendance must necessarily beirregular. The labor, both mental and physical, which he has accomplished since he took the lead of that e band of determined men in Par- ant, has been aimost incredi- ble. R can only de faintly realized when one comes to consider what he has achieved in the face of odds which to faint- hearted men would have appeared over- powering. He has devotea himself to his task night and day for all these years WITH UTTER SELF-ABNEGATION. „How he has so long sustained the conflict without breaking down is a constant source of wonder to all who know him. He has never been a strong man physically, and it is no cause for surprise that, after the warnings he has had from his overworked system within the past two years, he has de- cided to leave the actual command of his forces in the Commons toothers. He will, however, undoubtedly continue to dictate the policy to be pursued, and his opinions will bave all the weight with his colleagues they have hitherto carried. In case of emergency, or when some measure of special imp: -ance to Ireland comes up, he will very likely be found in his place, so that he will not be missed altogether from the House. But, as I said before, the. state of his health is such that to confine himself to | the constant, unremitting labor demanded by the leadership would be to imperil his life. Who, you ask, will be his successor as leader? That I cannot say at present. Yes, there is no lack of aspirants, but I don’t think any one will be chosen at once. It is probable, as 1 remarked, that Mr. Parnell will NOMINALLY HOLD THE POST for some little time, perhaps till the close of this, or even to the opening of the next session, but the active duties will be divided among prominent members ot the party. No; lam sorry to say I don’t think there is among them a man 80 well fitted for the position as he. No doubt there are better orators, men of equal deter- mination and courage, men as fully devoted to the Irish cause, but I do not know one who combines so many of the qualities necessary for a Parliamentary leader. Mr. Parnell is a perfect parliamentarian, a good logician, and a ready and always impressive, if not always eloquent, speaker. Ever cool-headed and self-possessed, he re- mains acomplete master of himself through- special gift for detecting an opponent’s weak point and taking instant advantage of it. His retirement will be greatly deplored by the party, which under his guidance has risen from weakness and comparative obscurity to become a host in the House and a power in the land.“ As it is impossible to get a fair measurement ot any political question by a one-sided view, I turned from my Nationalist friend, who was so enthusiastic in his admiration for Mr. Par - nell, to the Loyalist Member of Parliament whom I quoted in Satarday’s dispatch, and whom I regard as one of THE SHREWDEST POLITICIANS of his party. Lou Yankees,’’ he said, ‘‘are beating the Londom papers on their own ground. It is only to-day that tho journals have got hold of the report of Mr. Pagnell’s retirement, and they are giving it with all reserve, accom- panied by doubts and even by denials. Well, time will show. I teil you now, as I told you on Saturday, that I am convinced that Mr. Parnell intends to withdraw from the leader- ship of his party in the House. And it is not altogether ili health which caused him to take this step. My word for it, there is discord in the Irish party. Mr. Parnell ig too conserva- tive to suitthe hot-heads, and they are doing their best to counteract his in- fluence. Then there are a 00d many ambitious politicians who, beside dis- senting from bis counsels of moderation, chafe against his ascendency- He has been too highly praised, too often held up as the man who was leading them out of the wilderness, JEALOUSY to suit their ideas. : THEIR has at last come to open oppesition, open, out the most heated contests, and he has a | that is, as regards the conclaves ot the parlia- mentary party, for they have not yet ventured to attack him publicly. These men have been at work proselyting during the vacation. They have come back to the House much stronger in numbers than when they left it at the adjournment. God knows Mr. Parnell had a hard enough task to fight his political op- ponents inthe Commons when he haa a solid party behind him. Now that there is mutiny in the ranks of his followers, he'is indeed, in a difficult position. Who can wonder, then, that when to these difficulties is added the burden of precarious health, he wants to be. relieved of the leadership, and who can blame him for the desire?’’ DISASTROUS FLOODS, High Water Doirg Great Damage at Lyons —A Bridge Washed Away. DETROIT, February 11.—An Evening Journal’s special from Lyons says: The flood here is simply terrible. A panic has seized some of the people, and it is impossible to get estimates of losses. The water in some places is four feet deep in many residences, and the same state ofjaffairs prevails instore-rooms. Every- body is moving cr preparing to move. Last night was the most exciting the village has ever experienced. Up to last night three dulldings had been washed away and demol- ished, and many others were badly damaged. Alexander McFarlane’s family are sick and cut off from assistance. The Herald office has been removed to higber quarters, but the paper wiil be published as usual. At Muir the same serious conditions prevail, and mer- chants have abandoned their stores. Specials to the Evening Journal from other points are to the same effect, but Lyons seems to be the worst sufferer. Fred Winters of Charlotte was Urowned when trying to cross the Thornapple River. Three Rivers is sur- rounded with water. All the shops have been closed at that point. The immense lumber piles of the Roberts Lumber Company are un- der water. SIX INCHES OF SNOW, At Owosso six inches of snow fell last night andthe river is still rising. The Journal’s Monroe special says: The River Raisin bas been slowly risingfor the past twenty-four hours, but the ice has broken, giving a free passage to the lake. The banks of the river are lined with immense walls of ice and frozen snow, rising eight or ten feet above the pres- ent high watermark, and «reat fields of ice the same thickness fillall the streets adjacent to the river. The Evening Journal’s Jackson special says: The pressure of water in the Grand River in the Mill pond above the city, was too great and last night the sluices were opened with the result that the water rose several feet and the Grand Trunk bridge is now under water. The Hurd Hotel basement has two fect of water in it. Cellars in business blocks in the center of the town are all flooded from eighteen inches to two and a half feet. The State Fair Grounds are com- letely submerged, and on the large tract of and in the south part of the city, known as Mitchell’s addition, the water is up to the floors of the dwellings. The prison walls stand in the midstofalake. Davis’ Hotel barns have three feet of water in them and the horses have been removed. GREAT DANGER. A slight abatement of the flood was noticed last night, but is on in all its force this morning. Rain fell in torrents until about midnight, when it changed to snow and by a daylight fully eightinches of snowand sleet had fallen. There is a regular northeaster with atwenty-mile wind. Ihe water has risen two feet in the last four hours, and is still rising. The people are worn out working nicht and day to save their property. The Maple and Grand Rivers unite here and both are raging. At this hour (11:30 a. m.) it is im- possibie to give a complete estimate of the damage done. Should the Lansing ice reach here before the gorge gives away, the houses on the north side of Main street will be washed away. A rough estimate ofthe damage makes the aggregate between $75,000 and $100,000. Raised Five Feet. CHICAGO, February 11.—A special to the Daily News from Fort Wayne, Ind., says: The Maumee, St. Joseph and St. Marys Rivers raised five féet last night and the flood now threatens to surpass the memorable one of four yearsago. A number of families residing in the flooded district have removed tothe upper stories of residences,or have abandoned them altogether. At river points between Fort Wayne, Ind., and Toledo, O., great dis- tress is reported. Many factories have shut down, and the employes put to work sur- rounding the works by dikes. The water is now within a foot of the floods of the princi al bridges, and they must shortly be cut off from communication by wagon roads from the north. The river is now rising six inches an hour, and rain is falling. Bridge Washed Away. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPaTcn. PEORIA, III., February 11.—The C. B. & Q. passenger train, due here at 4 o’clock this morning, has not arrived, owing to the wash- ing away of the bridge over the Kickapoo near Oak Hill. THE FIRE VICTIMS. Practical Sympathy for the Relief of the Destitute Families. The tragic death of John Gunsaullus, the volunteer, and Joe Schimper, fireman of No. 6 company, at the Arnot stable fire has excited much sympathy for the families of the unfortunate but heroic men. Flre- man Schimper left a wife in not exactly destitute circumstances, but she will have nothing for her support see 4 the $800 in- surance in the Fireman’s Fund. John Gun- saullus’ family are wholly without means, and as he was not a member of the Department they will receive nothing from the fund, It has been proposed that a popular subscription be started for the benefit of both fami- lies, and members of the Fire Department will themselves contribute to such a fund for the Gunsaullus family. Chief Lindsay and Assistant Chiefa Hester and Finnerty have contributed $5 each for this latter pur- ose, and Recorder Wm. A. Hobbs will head a popular list with a similar subscription for the joint families. Oliver Wiseman has sent $100 to Chief Lindsay to be divided between the families and advises the yor | for other subscriptions. Jesse Arnot has intimated that he would con- tribute and expressions of the same character bave been heard from other prominent people. The PoSstT-DISPATCH will receive and ac- knowledge all sums that the public may wish to donate to the benefit of these families. Tne worthiness of the appeal for these subscrip- tions is unquestioned, and rests upon the tragic death of the two menand the destitu- tion of their families. No More Free Passes. MILWAUKEE, Wis., February 11.—General Passenger Agent Carpenter of the St. Paul Road has sent a circular to all passenger agents, saying: „„The interstate commerce law, which goes into effect on March 31, 1887, forbids the issue of passes or the making of reduced rates to other than bona fide railroad employes (except as noted below); therefore, from this date you will not issue nor recommend the issue of annual, season, trip or mileage passes or Ralt- fare permits to any person on any account who does not come under the head of raiiroad em- ployes (except as noted below), for any period beyond March 31, 1887. ies of railroad empl " his cuts off families oyes also newspaper men, hotel and ple, etc. Dannie Dead.

A Bridge Gives Way Under the Train—The Engineer’s Precaution Averts a Terrible Disaster—Several of the Train Hands Badly Injured—No Lives Lost—An Ex- citing Mishap to the Steamer Old Colony —Casualties. CLEVELAND, O., February 11.—A bad railroad smash-up occurred this morning about 1 o’clock on the Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad just south of the city limits. A bridge gave way under an express train, but luckily no lives were lost. The night express on the Cleveland & Pittsburg Road left the Union Depot on time, shortly after nidnight, with Conductor Louis Meyers in charge. It was composed of the locomotive. a baggage car,an express car, a smoker, one passenger coach and a sleeper. It met with disaster at Bridge No. 2. The bridge was of iron, about sixty feet long and eighteen feet above the water. The heavy rains had swollen the creek that it spanned into a torrent, and it is sup- posed that the flood undermined the stone abutments. When the locomotive struck the bridge, the engineer felt it tremble. He passed over it in safety, however, and the bag- gage and express cars went over the shaky structure without accident. The smoking car had only got fairly upon the bridge when it sagged downward, and with a sudden shock the train was brought to a standstill, Hud the train been running at the regular rate of speed aterribie disaster would have oc- curred, but the engineer was going very cau- tiously on account of the flooded condition of the country. The sudden jerk threw the locomotive, the baggage and express cars over on their sides, INTO THE DITCH. The engineer, D. Sterritt, andthe fireman, Himes, were thrown down the embank- ment and they rolled into thecreek. The tender remained on thetrack. The smoking car caught fast between the abutments and held partly bythe debris ofthe bridge, re- mained midway between the water and the level ofthe track. Only one passenger and a brakeman werein itand they succeeded in climbing out without injury. The baggage- master, John Kenny, was hurled violently against the side of the car when it went over and he was seriously cut about the head. It is feared that he received internal injuries. Mr. Kenny is an important witness against the uncaught murderers of Detective Hulligan. The express messenger was BADLY SHAKEN UP, and escaped with a few cuts on the hands and arms. The first track of the passenger car went over the edge of the abutment and rolled — — the end ofthe smoker. It contained fifteen people, four of whom were ladies. Beyond aYeneral shaking up and a bad scare, no damage was doue them. Just after the ac- cident fire broke out among some waste in one corner of the baggage car, but it was quickly extinguished. Fireman Himes was badly bruised about the legs by his fall. A wrecking train was only ashort distance in the rear. It was quickly put in operation aud the tracks will be clear by 9 o' clock this morn- ing. Not much damage was done outside ofthe injury to the smoking car and bridge. Damaged in a Collision. New YorRK, February 11.—The Steamer Waterbury from Bridgeport, Conn., looked like a wreck when she arrived here this morn- ing, the whole port side was a mass of broken wood, iron aud ropes. It was ascertained that when near Glen Cove, in Long Island Sound, during the night, she was run into by a schooner, which came upon her unseen, heavy fog peeves at the time. The schooner backed off, apparently uninjured, and disappeared and her name was not learned. There were twenty-three passen- gers on the steamer, five of them women, and allawoke in great fright when the collision occurred. The damage to the steamer can be easily repaired. The Old Colony’s Mishap. NEwPponrtT, R. I., February 11.—The steamer Old Colony met with amishap last night on her firsttrip since the strike began in New York. When off Point Judith the passengers were alarmed by volumes of smoke issuing from below and pouring * through the sa- loon. The flre was found in the cook- room where the bars of the grate had fallen out and set fire to the flooring beneath. The fire was soon extinguished and the steamer put back, arriving here shortly before 3 a. m. LABOR NEWS. Companies Refuse to Take Back Strikers— The Engineers, NEW YORK, February 11.—The order calling on the engineers employed on the steamship and railroad piers to go on strike, so far as the piers of the river fronts are concerned, proved a dead letter. A visit to the docks this morn- ing failed to discover a single instance where the stationary engineers had quit work. A visit to the breweries showed that all the em- ployes were at work, and the men stated that they have positively refused to obey the order to stop work and join the army of strikers. REFUSE TO GO OUT. The eccentric engineers refused point blank to obey the order of District Assembly No. 49, Knights of Labor, to strike. At the head- quarters of the Assembly this morning the re- ports of delegates who had been sent out to see what steps the engineers were taking in the matter of obeying the or- der, were thatthe men refused to quit work, The reports from the different breweries were equally discouraging, and it was generally ad- mitted that the last effort of 40“ had proved a failure. An official of authority stated that the engineers and brewers had been called on at too late a period and he frankly admitted that the strike was a failure. Considerable dissatisfaction is felt with the Executive of 40 because ofthe manner in which the strike has been conducted. A rominent member of the Freight-Handlers Tnion said to-day that there were two or three men holding rank in ‘‘49’’ who wanted to run the whole business for their own ends. A number of longshoremen stood around the headquarters aud several of them openly de- clared they would go to work unless more financial ald from their union was granted them. Asimilar opinion was expressed b other men, and it would not be surprising there was a general break in the ranksof the strikers at any moment. WON'T TAKE STRIKERS. The freight handlers formerly employed on the New York & Northern Railway, yesterday sent a delegate to Agent Allen to ask him to take back the strikers, without exception. He replied that as the union men had struck work without giving any warning, they could not come back. All the new men had been promised permanent situations and were giving satisfaction. He was bound and would keep faith with them. At the Maine dock all of the strikers here returned. At the Ward Line dock only about twenty-five of the strikers remain out. At the Mallory Line dock the superintendent’ will have none of the strikers, the men taking their laces giving satisfaction. At tne piers of the Sona siand Railroad, the Bristol Line, the Baltimore & Ohio Transportation, the Bridge- port Daily Line and other piers, work was proceeding as evenly as before the strike.

Doors Open at 9 O’clock, TRY THEM. JUDGE TREAT ORDERS A SPECIAL PETIT- JURY TO TRY THE ELECTION CASES. AGrand-Jury for the United States Circuit Court also Called to Continue the Inves- tigation of the Ball-Box Stuffiiug—The Trials to Open on the 9th Prox.—Mitchell Still a Prisoner. Though several witnesses were in attendance on the United States Grand-jury this morning, none were called until nearly noon. Mr. Broadhead, who was at work preparing new indictments retired to the District Cham- bers, where, a short time later, United States Attorney Bashaw, Special Assistant Dyer and Deputy Clerk Morgan met. It was nearly noon when Judge Treat appeared on the bench. District Attorney Bashaw then appeared and asked the Court to pass on the motion for a special petit jury to try the indictments recently returned in the cases of the election frauds. THE COURT THEN SAID: „„Mr. Marshal, you may summon that jury of forty for the 8th dayof March. The applica- tion is granted. It is ordered that such jury be summoned under the law for the 8th day of March. The Marshal then asked for some information about the panel, and the Court, on informing him said: Mr. Marshal, I wish no irregularities about this matter.’’ This will start the trials early next month. When the first indictments for fraud were found the cases were set for trial for May 10 and the bonds taken for that date. The remoteness of the time of trial made the dan- ger seem less to the offenders who refused any information whatever to the officials prosecuting the investigation. To counter- act this, it was decided to give the offenders a sample ot speedy justice, and Judge Treat was asked for a special jury. In the meantime the defendants indicted during the first two days of the present session of the court were only released on bonds to appear from day to-day to appear at such times as the Court or- dered. This morning the question was de- cided and the new indictments will be dock- eted for the early part of the next month. On deciding this point Judge Treat dis- patched a messenger fora deputy clerk of the United States Circuit Court. When he ar- rived in court Judge Treat handed him a paper stating: This is an order for a Grand- jury to be called on the first day of the term of the Circuit Court as issued in chambers.’’ The significance of this action was divined at once. The present Grand-jury will be continued until the evidence now in a presentable shape is exhausted. In the meantime or shortly thereafter the petit jury will begin hearing the evidence which the Grand-jury may take up in the Circuit Court and follow to other defendants who have not yet been reached. JOHN MITCHELL, alias Pendergast, alias Reilly, is still in cus- tody. He has steadfastly refused to make any statement implicating any one, although ad- missions have been secured from him estab- lishing the fact that he was only one of a crowd of repeaters which operated at the va- rious polls on last election day. This fact was suggested by the time at which he was arrested. It was 10:15 a. m. when he presented himself at the Ninety- fifth Precinct and offered to vote. The heavy vote of the morning had been cast early in the day, and it was expected that the repeaters voting in bogus registra- tions would take advantage of the crowds early in the morning and late in the evening. Mitchell’s appearance at a time when the voters were few and were sub- jected to the closest scrutiny was a surprise. He bas not yet been taken before the Grand- jury to testify, as his admissions have not been freely made, and the counsel for the Government do not propose to give Mitchell any chance to escape unless he comes to the assistance of the Gov- ernment by telling all he knows of the organized attempt to stuff the ballot boxes at the last election. He is held in secret quarters and since his arrest has not been approached by any persons except the representatives of the Government and his costodian. The establishment of the identity of Mitchell as James Pendergast, of 90% High street, has not served to reveal any of his confederates as yet. He will be given a choice between ap- pearing before the present jury and taking the full punishment for the offense of which he is guilty beyond question. Some of the jurors are in favor of returning indictments against some persons in high places, but this will be the last work done be- fore the adjournment of the present jury, An Unhealthy School-House.

Sergt. Landers, Officer Fuqua, Ed Mo- Donald, Joe Ernst, Peter Lehman, Charles Brahm and W. S. Musler, all testified to the good character of the defendant and the bad reputation of Big Mike’’ Fitzgerald, the man he killed. . George Kelly, 2 in the culinary de- of he aton Rouge, John steward of the William Mar- shall, ser testified to previous troubles between Sharman and Fitzgerald and the threats of the latter to kill the former. They also testified to Sharman’s good character and Fitzgerald's bad reputation. Drs. Epstein and Dorsett who dressed Fitz- gerald's injuries at the City Dispensary, testi- fied concerning the position he must have been in when shot. William A.

Belleville. In the Circuit Court to-day a suit was filed by W. D. Griswold, receiver of the East St. Louis Gas Company, against ex-Treasurer George Dausch and his bondsmen for $10,000. The gas company has judgments against the city for about $40.000 and the object of Mr. Griswold’s suit is to obtain from Mr. Dausch 510, O00 of the city’s money which he is alleged to have retained when his term of office expired, and still holds. Mr. Dausch’s bondswen are Louis Weiss, Henry W. Hempe and A. X. IIlinski.

John Falt, an employe at the Western Nail Mill, had bis right leg badly burned by molten metal yesterday. Mother Smith’s Funeral. Yesterday afternoon the funeral of old Mother Smith, who died at the Insane Asylum, took place from that institution. No tolling bellor signs of mourning marked the sad office which was performed. Early in the morning, a plain pine box containing the remains was taken from the asylum to the dead-house in potter’s field. Since Mother Smith was first admitted to the institution in 1869, her friends and relatives have been car- ried off by death or moved to other localities. No one called to give the remains burial, and atthe expiration of the &llotted forty-eight hours the two grave-diggers of Potter’s field trudged over to the field and prepared old Mother Smith’s last resting-place. The box was soon letdown in the grave, and without ceremony the earth was turned back into the Krave, the little inound hastily piledup. A plain board bearing a number corresponding with the asylum register was then placed at the head of the grave. Examining the Ballots, The examination of the ballots in the Klein- Valliant contest case has been commenced at the office of the Recorder of Voters. Deputy Clerk Wm. Morgan of the United States Dis- trict Court takes the poll-books from the United States Court and turns them over to the Recorder dur- ing the examination of the ballots. At the conclusion the books are returned to Mr. Morgan, who deposits them in the vaults at the District Clerk’s office. This is done by the direction or Judge Treat, who has been repre- sented as refusing to allow the books to pass out of the possession of the Court for any other judicial investigation.

HOW THE REDISTRICTING WILL AFFECT THE SCHOOL BOARD. — | The Municipal Assembly to Take Up the Question of Reducing the Number of Pre- cincts—The School Board Election Will Not Occur Until October—Seme Difficult Problems to Solve. Fortwo years the work of redistricting the city was before the Municipal Assembly, but that body was unwilling to undertake the contract. Under the law this neglected duty devolved on the Circuit Court, to which a plan was submitted by the commissioners ap- pointed to divide the city. Great difficulty was encountered by the commission, as the division of the city had tobe made 80 as to give 2,000 votes, or as near that number as possible to each ward by assigning precincts, the limitations of which could not be changed. Had the Municipal Assembly undertaken the work the precincts would probably have been changed, which would necessitate an ordl- nance, but since these boundary lines were not interfered with no ordinance is needed to enforce the redistriction which goes into effect m the declaration of the Circuit Court. nce the establishment ot the new ward line it has been propesed to decrease the namber ot precincts. here are now 24 precincts in the city making it exceedingly difficult to se- cure the requisite number of qualified judges and clerks of election. Some ot the members of the Council contemplate introducing an ordinance DD the number of precincts alter the new ward lives are establisned, which will not only improve the election methods, but lessen their cost to the city about $2,500. A question bas been raised as to the constitutionality of the act authorizing the appointment of the commission and author- izing their work. The objection is made under section 53, article 4 of the Constitution of Missouri adopted in 1875, which reads as follows: The General Assembly shall not pass any special or local law regulating the affairs of counties, cities, townships, wards or school districts. * Nor shall the General As- sembly indirectly enact such special or local law by the partial repeal of u general law, but laws repealing local or special acts may be passed. THE ACT providing for the appointment of the commis- sion, while framed with a view of being a general law, is manifestly aimed at St. Louis as it specifies cities in which the Circuit Court sits in general term and other phrases applicable to no other city in the State, shows the int: ion of ite author to have it apply to St. Louis alone. A similar constitutional objection was submitted by City Counselor Bell against the registration act, which was fremed to operate in cities of 800,000. The Court decided that while there was noother city of that size in the State that provision did not make the acta special one in the meaning of the Constitution, and they would probably so rule in the present ob- jection. THE SCHOOL BOARD. The approval of the Redistricting Commis- sioners report by the Court will have the et- fect of dissolving the present School Board as in the act of March 13,1867, creating the Board, the following provision occurs: Whenever the boundaries of any ward in the City of St. Louis shali be changed the seats of Directors of ‘‘the Board of President and Directors of the St. Louis Publie Schools“ elected from said wards shail be vacated and said Board shall order elections for the seats so to be vacated in the manner and at the time as is now 1 by law and bo the rules of said Board; but the present directors shall continue in office until their successors are elected and duly qualified. THE TIME OF THE ELECTION of School Directors is named in the rules as the fourth Tuesday of each October. There is a disposition on the part of some of the Board members to suspend this rule and order an immediate election but the probability is that such action will not be taken. Among the considerations moving toe deferring of the election to — ye — time is the bill pending in the Gene Assembly proposing a redis- tricting of the city into fourteen school dis- tricts entitled to one representative each and the election of seven members-at-large; the election to be held not later than the first Tuesday in May next. Thereisagreat liseli- hood of the biil becoming a law, with the re- cent amendments introduced by Representa- tive Drabelle, as the majority of the infiu- ential members of the School Board favor it, and even if a special election were now decided upon, it could not be held before the passage or defeat of the bill, as the time necessary for notice of election, reg- istration, etc., will carry it past theclose of the present session of the Legislature. APPROVED. The Circuit Judges met in general term late this afternoon and approved the report of J. J. Lindley, John W. O'Connell, and John H. Fisse, the Redistricting Commissioners. No exceptiona were filed to the report, and the three days having elapsed the Court approves the same, the record entry being made to-day. CONE’S CASE, The Manager of the Proper Caper’’ Com- pany Stillen the Rack. The preliminary examination of Irwin W. Cone, alias H. G. Rivers, the young man charged with defrauding the St. James Hotel out of $140 board bill, again went on before Judge Noonan to-day. Judge Noonan over- ruled the motion to dismiss filed by Cone’s attorneys stating that enough had deen brought out againstthe defendant to warrant the hearing of the remainder of the testimony. E.W.Adams, room clerk at the hotel, testified that Cone told him he was manager of the Proper Caper’’ Company. Thomas P. Miller, proprietor of the hotel, was returned to the stand to testify that he had printed copies of the hotel fraud law posted in the rooms of his house. This closed the case for the State. Mr. C. M. Nanton, one of the attorneys for Cone, took the stand to testify to some conversations he bad with Mr. Miller in regard to compro- mising the matter. A recess was then taken until 3 p. m.

M., where he has been tor a month past looking into the Peerless, a prop- erty in which he is largely interested. His face is as brown as an Indians, his general health ex- cellent, and he swears by the climate of New Mexico as that of an earthly paradise. Gen. John Boyle came as far as Kansas City with Mr. Boyd and will be here ink few days. Mr. Boyd was 1 on "Change as having spoken very bitterly of the Sheridan. When asked about it he said he had faith in the mine and would put up his share ot the money necessary for development. He had not examined the Sheridan because hé said he knew what was in it and he did not care to go over it again. Mr. Boyd had with him a sample of the ore from the Peer- less, which will run over $7,000 in silver and gold. He is enthusiastic about this property, and says he thinks it one of the finest mines in New Mexico. None of it is for sale. About 600 feet of development work have been done so far in winzes, tunnels and drifts. The work is progressing steadily. 4 7 Granite Mountain stock was off again to-day.

THE DEAD FIREMAN.” Inquest on the Bodies of Chambers and Gun- saullus To-Day—The Funerals. An inquest was held at the Coroner's office to-day onthe body of John H. Gunsaullus, one of the men killed at the Arnot stable fire. A. P. Richardson, his brother-in-law, testified that Gunsaullus was 31 years of age, married and had been employed by the eity tor the last year as a foreman inthe Street department. He wasa painter by trade, and previous to going to work for the city was a street car conductor onthe Forest Park Line. He had a wife and two children living at No. 3431 Walnut street. William Henzey, apartner of Jesse Arnot testified concerning the fire at the stable and the manner in which Gunsaullus was killed. He said he, Gunsaullus and others were on the „run when tho wall fell. The witneas got out in time, but the deceased and some others were caught and crushed vy the failing wall. He did not know what Gunsaulius was doing at the tine. Thomas Fitzpatrick, a member of No. 6 En- Kine Company, testified that Gunsaullus and others had been taking carriages out down the run. They were in the way of the firemen who would not allow them to come up any more. They stood on the ‘‘run’’ and were there when the wall fell. Several of them were crushed and Gunsaullus killed. Schimper, the fireman of the witness’ company, was killed at the same time. No one sa ¥ the danger in time. George C.

WON ON A FOUL, A Desperate and Brutal Prize Fight Near Germantown, Pa. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., February 11.—A very desperate and hotly contested fight took morning in an up-town barn near Germantown, between Dennis F. Butler, the champion short-dis- fince swimmer of America, and John Reagan of Kensington. A purse of $500 was the stake, and the time of the Sight was eight minutes. The first round was char- acterized by hard hitting in which Butler was badly punished and decidedly worstea. In the second round Butler knocked Reagan all about the ring. The third round occupied only two minutes. At the beginning Reagan rushed upon Butler and bithimonthearm. A foul was ciaimed and there was some confusion. The men got at it again and then Reagan climaxed by giving Butler a fearful but ju the face. A foul was at once claimed by Butler's friends and al- towed, and the referee gave the fight to But- er.

As she disap- peared in the forest on the other side she waved her hand,andthe Corporal heartily responded. “Ugh! Don't ask me,” was Corporal John’s reply tothe questions of his com- rades, “Idid my duty.

I fought through our war and was mixed up inthe Maximilian business. I have done my share of shoot- ing and being shot at, but I never yet stood up in cold blood exchange shots witha man. I don’t like it.” So many years had elapsed since Con- way’s military experience that the pros- pect of a fight no longer stirred bis blood. He was not an old man, but the fiery ar- dor of youth was a thing of the past. Af- ter years of adventurous speculation in the mining regions of the West, fortune had favored him, and for the first time in his life he was realizing one of the dreams of his youth, avisit to Paris. Unfortunately, he had been drawn into @ political controversy in a cafe witha member of the Mexican Legation, Senor Gomez, a gentleman whose great wealth and beautiful wife were at that time the talk of Paris. In the heat of the discus- sion Conway had given mortal offense to the Mexican. The result was a challenge, and the American had accepted, selecting pistols and fixing the hour for ö ole that afternoon, the place chosen being’ suburban forest notorious for its affairs of honor. While the American was wondering whether he had sufficient appetite for breakfast, there was atap at his door, Opening it he saw to his surprise Senor Gomez, who advanced into the room with a grave countenance in which various emotions were struggling for expression.

Mr. Jewett of the House Committee is of the opinion that a gubstitute for the House bills will be introduced in the House by the committee next Monday morning. He says thatthe House and Senate Committees are practically agreed upon the principal features ofa bill providing for the enforcement of the constitutional provisions relating tothe regulation of railroads. The senate Committee will probably report next Monday, also. THE SUBMISSIONISTS. pr. Crawford of Benton County, submission jeader in the House, stated this morning that the defeat of the Sheldon submission resolu- tion in the Senate yesterday would not in any manner influence the submissionists in the House, so far as a change iu their plans was concerned. „Ot course, said he, we cannot now hope to get submission through the Legislature, but we shall make a fightin the House neverthe- less. The submission question will come up in the House next Tuesday morning. Speaker Alexander stated this morning that under the resolution adopted yesterday he would add Mr. Cas. T. Noland to the Commit- tee on Criminal Jurisprudence. THE LABOR COMMITTER. The House Committee on Labor has finished its inquiry into the convict labor system at the State Penitentiary, and next week will ask leave of absence of the House for the purpose of going to St. Louis and examining into the cust of fabor to employers engaged in the man- ufacture of shoes, saddlery and harness, sad- dle- trees and rough clothing. The committee has atcertained in detailthe exact cost and rofitto the State and contractor of convict abor and it is proposed to compare the result of their investigation with the cost and profits of labor outside of the Penitentiary in the game line of business. The committee is com- osed of Messrs. Newman, Walsh, Martin, atterwhite, Timmons, arner, Holland, Walton and Curley. THE MILITIA BILL. ***Taint worth the paper it’s wrote on,’’ said Senator Davisson, in discussing the miil- tia bill this morning ‘‘I am opposed to that section of the measure which prohibits the or- anization of any military company not in the tate service. In fact, I am opposed to the entire bill, said he. The Senator then went on to explain the alleged opposition of the Knights of Labor to the militia bill, when he was interrupted by the President, who re- quested him to couflue his remarks to the sub- ject beforethe Senate. The bill was up for engrossment as the special order of the day. Senator Allen offered an amendment and Senator McGinnis a substitute forthe amend- ment, to one ofthe most important sections of the measure, either of which, if agreed to, would have permitted the organization and equipment of military companies notin the State service. The friends of the bill, how- ever, defeated both the substitute and the amendment by a vote of 14no0es to l0ayes, and the first brush on the militia bul resulted in 4 victory for the advocates of the measure. Gen. Jamison and Senators Sparks and Jacobs, who are carefully nursing the bill, feel confident, after to-day’s vote, that with afew slight alterations it will go to engrossmentand will Unally pass the Senate. he contest over the bill will reaily begin in the House, where there is considerable oppo- sition tothe establishment and maintenance of an organized State militia. THE SENATE. The Senate this morning adopted a resolu- tion offered by senator MeGinnis, directing the Committee on Constitutional Amendments to turn over tothe secretary Of State all peti- tions and remonstrances relating to submis- sionanu prohib.tion, to be kept by him until after the next election. Senator Downing’s bill was passed provid- ing forthe payment of $10 per day as salary for special judyves appointed to sit in cases whichthe regularly elected judges are dis- qualified from trying. Senator Ball cailed up the report of the Com- mittee ot the Whole on his school book bill. The amendmente tothe measure agreed to in committee were read separately and adopted. On motion of Senator Ball the bill was then ordered to engrossment. The Senate took a recess until 2 o'clock. lu the House this morning Mr. Holland in- troduced a resolution providing for the ap- polutimment of acommittee of five to investi- wage arrest and detention of Fothering- ‘am, the express messenger, now beld ona charge ol robbery in St. Louis.

Atan early hour this morninga fire started in John Haney’s saloon on Front street and proved very destructive. The building being a trame, the flames spread rapidiy, and when the St. Louis engines, which bad been tele- phoned for, arrived, a two-story frame struct- ure on the north side of Haney’s, owned and occupied as a residence and shoeshop by Charles Dienel, was also ina blaze. The good work of the St. Louis firemen prevented the fire from spreading further, but they could not prevent the destruction of the two buildings mentioned. The building in which Mr. Haney kept a saloon was owned dy Mrs. Reddemeyer, and was partially insured. Haney had noinsurance on his saloon fixtures. Dienel’s building was also partially insured, and as most ot the contents were saved the loss will not beso great. A two-story brick building, owned and occupied as a groce store and residence by Mr. Pat Kelly, whic is on the south side of the Reddemeyer build- ing, was badly scorched. The total loss ts about $5,000. Tue origin of the fire is un- known.

Rebecca Hall was acquitted ofthe charge of having mur- dered her husband, atthe conclusion ofthe testimony for the State this morning. Pros- ecutor Walker said there was absolutely no evidence proving the guilt of the accused, and declared that in the absence ofthis proof he should not ask the jury for a conviction. Judge Jamieson said that it was only just to defendant, and directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty without leaving their seats. This was done and fifteen minutes at- ter court convened Mrs. Rebecca Hall was a free woman. Rebecca Spaulding is a large woman with abundant charms, and a tendency to the highly colored side of life ana dress. She.met Wallace W. Hall in Chicago about three years ago after the death of his wife. He conceived an attachment for ber that was notshaken by sundrv exciting episodes in their acquaintance. His connection with her was reported to the Chief of the Secret Service and was to his detriment. He was warned that he must not continue in associations whi.h were impairing his value to the service, and at hisown request he was transferred to St. Louis. He was at that time living with Miss Spaulding, and without telling her of his transfer he came to St. ulis. She followed after a few days, and there was a scene in his office at the Custom- house. He took herto hisroom on Eighth street near Pine where they remained two days, during which time, they had several rows and she discharged a pistol at him. He induced her to pack her trunk and go to the depot on representations that he would accompany her. She became sus- picious at the depot that he intended to leave her and a quarrel followed, resulting in his arrest on the charge of striking ner with a cane. He made no further attempts to shake her off, anda few months later was informed by the Chief of the Service that his resignation would be accepted. He went to Washington to secure reinstatement if pos- sible, failed, returned to Chicago, quarreled with the woman whom he had married after the episode in St. Louis, and was killed. She claimed he was trying to kill her when the pistol was discharged in his own hands. THE PIPE OF PEACE, The Drummond Tobacco Company and the Government Come to an Agreement. A case of unusual interest to tobacco manu- facturers reached a settlement to-day at the office of Collector of Internal Revenue Barnum. It grew out of the recent fire at the Drummond Tobacco Company’s and brought up points in the construction of the Internal Revenue laws on which the local office had not before been called upon to pass. The first of the year saw over 2,000,000 pounds of leaf tobacco alone in the hands of the com- pany, which, with other material, was damaged by the fire. The law requires a manufacturer to report to the revenue oftice all the materials which he purchases for use in the production of his out-put. These materials inciude sugar, liquorice, tin tags, etc., which are charged against the company for taxation, when the report at the END OF THE YEAR shows how much of these materials'has been used and how much remains on hand. The immense quantity of damaged tobacco and in- gredients had been charged against the com- — and the question arose whether they could get credit for the entire amount affected by the fire and water. The Internal Revenue Department had it in their power to condemn what they thought was useless and order the rest to. be dried and made fit for use if possible. The damaged stock amountin to several millions of pounds, on which the tax would be 8 cents a pound. the question became a serious one The company invited Collector Barnum to visit their factory, which he did to-day, spending the whole forenoon in going over the spoiled stock. The een represented to the Collector that the INSURANCE MEN had agreed to consider the damaged stock a total loss, and he could not see why the Gov- ernment could not take the same view ofthe case and wipeoff their books the amount of stuff charged. The fact that the company had agreed to turn all the damaged stuff over to the insurance men an let them dispose of it, accepting in return full insurance was an evidence that the company would not handle any of it. After the consultation Collector Barnum returned to the office and gave orders that credit fer the entire — — should be given tothe company, which thus establishes an important precedent. ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE, A Light Attendance in Both Houses—New Bills Introduced. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatca. SPRINGFIELD, III., February 11.—Both houses met this morning. with a light attendance, and long before noon the House was withouta quorum. In the Senate Mr. Crawford of Cook presided and expedited business so rapidly that the nays to propositions were ignored and everything proposed was declared adopted. In this way the Democrats got two pages on the pay- roll. Notice of a motion to reconsidered was given and the Republicans voted to adjourn till Monday evening, The House spent the morning on reports of committees and introducing new bilis, few of which will ever see the light of day. The Ju- diciary Committee reported favorably the bill abolishing the Grand-jury system. A Butter Shortage. Girard F. Farrar, charged with embezzling $2,000 from Evans Brothers, the tobacco ware- house men of Twelfth and Poplar streets, whose examination has been going on in the Court of Criminal Correction noons, was to-day discharged dy Judge Noonan, ter business and employed Farrar as a sales- man.

THE CIVIL COURTS. * SAKEN WIVES. : 7 A Case of Heartless Desertion—Conflicting Statements in the Siemers Domestic Con- test—Frank E. Peterson’s Plaint—Valen. tine’s Infatuation—Matters in Litigation To-Day. Mrs. Mary Stenzel entered a petition in the Oirouit Court to-day seeking a decree of di- vorce from Rudolph Stenzel. They were mar- ried in Germany in October, 1877. Soon after the wedding they crossed the Atiantic and set- tled in this city. Mrs. Stenzel alleges that in July, 1884, her husband converted all the furniture and personal property into cash and went back to Europe alone leaving his wifeand child destitute among strangers. Mrs. Stenzel has no relatives in this country and she was compelled to seek employment in order to support ber child. She wrote several times to her husband in Germany but she received no reply and has now abandoned all hope of being reunited. She asks for the order of court awarding her the custody of her child and for restoration of her maiden name, Mary Gehr- mann. A Curious Conflict. The contested divorce case of Mrs. Louise A. Siemers is set for trial to-day before Judge Valliant. The marriage took place April 8, 1874, and the separation on the 29th of Octo- ber last year. Mrs. Siemers ac- cuses her husband of abusing ber in every way; striking her without cause or provocation, calling her vile names and doing everything to render her condition intolerable. he alleges that at length he drove her from home with the three children. One ofthe main grounds upon which the di- vorce is sought is intemperance. The husband enters an answer and cross-bill denying every allegation made Mrs. Siemers, except the marriage and the birth of the children. He alleges that his wife, contrary to his wishes and in spite of his remonstrances, kept a young man in the house and neglected her household duties to attend to him. He further charges that his wife was * of improper conduct. A re- ply was filed to the cross-bill in w wife utterly denies the husband’s charges. Tired of Matrimony. Frank E. Peterson entered a petition in the divorce from Louise Peterson. They were he treated his wife with kindness and affec- tion, and did thd — in his ower to promote her comfort an oy ut she did not remain with him and has con- tinued to absent herself for a considerable length oft time.

The marriage took place May 26, 1879, and the Valentines separ- ated in April, 1883. Mrs. Valentine alleges that her husband bestowed his affection upon another woman, and the infatuation was so great that at length he deserted his wife. She has waited the neces- sary time prescribed by the law for him to re- turn, and now asks fora decree together with the restoration of her maiden name, Anderson. A Missing Purchaser.

It is alleged, however, that he did not keep up the payments, and ultimately he left the city. Notes in Court. The jury in the cotton-deal suit of Henry Gardes & Co. of New Orleans against Horace Hibbard returned a verdict to-day in Judge Lubke’s Court in favor of the defendant. The claim was for $1,500, and as Mr. Hibbard had already lost $500 in the transaction, he resisted the demand. T. J. Capitaive was dismissed to-day in Judge paying the costs. he law docket will be called to-morrow in Judge Lubke’s Court No. 1 Defaults were entered to-day in the Circuit Court in the following cases of divorce: Catherine against Geo.

The livery man knew who she was, but Mrs. Ber- tram said she did not want to use her real name as, her husband being already charged with horse-stealing, it would be difiicult to dispose of the horse. A prominent citizen here purchased the animal for $125, its real value being $450. For his commission the liv- ery man redeemed the pawned buggy and rented it out. After telegraphing around the country the police learned that on November 2 George W. Dold, a prominent pork-packer of Kansas City, bad left a vaiuable mare and buggy stan@ing outside his place of business, and when he returned the rig was gone. This morning Mr. Dold arrived here and identified the horse and buggy that had been disposed of by Bertram and wife as his rig. When Bertram learned of this, which is the Third case aguinst him, he pleaded guilty in the Criminal Court Donnewald, and was sentenced to two years inthe Penitentiary. The Steirlin and Dold cases will not now be prosecuted. Mr. Doid’s property has been returned to him. THE PRICE MONUMENT. Subscriptions Now Coming in for the Good Cause with Cheering Rapidity. A circular letter was sent out a week ago to- day to the citizens of St. Louis calling atten- tion to the work of the Price Monument Asso- ciation. The reasons why the City of St. Louis should aid in the movement were clearly and forcibly presented and subscrip- tions to the amount of several hundred dollars .

The cold snap of to-day is one of the most sudden ot the year. People coming work this morning did not dream that three or four hours before a southern breeze of summer warmth fanned the cheeks of the city’s sleepers, but Observer Olney of the Signal Office says that at 3 o’clock the wind biew softly from the south and the mercury recorded about 44 de- drees, Over in the distance, faintly out- lined against tho stars in the eastern sky, the cold wave flag hung as incon uously upon the heated air as a linen ulster on & polar bear. It didn’t hang that way long, though, as fifteen minutes later a calm was noticed to have settled upon the city. Tothe drowsy but practical eye of the weather man, the motionless air was pregnant with an important change. Five minutes later the change came. First as a puff of cold air from the west, gradually growing to a breeze, then to a wind and finally & gale, shifting and veering about between southwest and north until it settled in the northwest. By 4:30 the velocity of the wind had increased to about thirty miles an hour which steadily increased until 8:15 when its maximum was reached at forty-four miles. The gale was destructive on account of the fre- quency and forca of its usts which swooped down the streets and around the corners with a flerceness that rattled every light object and shook smaller buildings. THE GALE’S EFFECT. About 4:15 o’clock this morning a part of the east wallof Jesse Arnot’s livery stabie building, which was burned on the night of the 9th inst., was blown down, demolishing three or four dollars’ worth of glass in the rear windows of the Chestnut Street Hotel. About 6 o’clock in the morning there was another crash, more ofthe wali falling. This time it fell on the two-story brick build. inginthe rear of 908 Chestnut street, com- letely demolishing it. The first floor of the uilding is occupied by A. G. Hulbertasa wire and iron fence factory, and the second floor by J. A. Flynn asa tin shop. The damage sustained by Hulbert could not be ascertained. Flynn’s loss is estimated at and he carried no insurance. Ben Von hul of 802 Chestnut street, owns the building which was valued at $1,200, and as stated, isa total wreck. About an hour later a great noise was heard at the corner of Broadway and Market streets, which was at first thougnt to be the crash of a falling. building. Investigation showed, however, tnat it was only the tall smoke-stack of the Great Western Printing Company, which had fallen into the street, carrying the telegraph pole and- wires down with it. The damage was about $20. FALL IN THE TEMPERATURE. The increase in the wind's velocity after 8 o’clock was about equalled by the decrease in the amount of heat in the air. By 6 o’clock the mercury had fallen to 35 degrees, a drop of 29 degrees, in less than three hours, or 10 degrees an hour. After the wind had got well fixed in the Northwest, the thermometer felt its influénce more decidedly, by 8o’clock the quicksftver touching 27. The sun of midday had no warm- ing effect, and by noon 23 degs was reached. In the Northwest the cold was nearly as intense as any of the winter, Fort Assinaboine reporting 39 degs. below, and 20 and 30 degs. being the gen- eral rule at those far away sta- tions. The barometer there is high while here itis low, which would send the mercury away below zero in this latitade were it not for the depression over Pittsburg, toward which the cold wave will move rather than dip very far South. Serzt. Weber, however, thinks the mercury will get downto about 5 above to-night. THE DAIRY ORDINANCE, Judge Treat Refuses a Writ of Habeas Cor- pus for Geo. Boenninghausen. Apetition fora writ of habeas corpus was presented to-day in the United States District Court by E. J. O’Brien in behalt of Geo. Boenninghausen, the keeper of A dairy. He was recently prosecuted in the Police Court and fined $50 under the city ordinance for keeping a dairy without the consent of a majority on the block. It was contended in his behalf that the ordinance was unconstitutional, and a habeas corpus proceeding was _ instituted in the Court of Appeals, and later in the Supreme Court of the State. The writ, however, was denied by each court, and to-day Judge Treat was asked to issue the writ. He promptly denied itand the fine im- posed will have to be paid; otherwise a com- mitment to the Work-house will follow. ‘Judge Treat said that the Federal Court could not entertain such an application. Matters in Court. The following judgments were rendered in the Circuit Court to-day: Bank of Commerce vs. J. E. Lawton Printing Company et al., judgment rendered for plaintiff for $2.009.55; Jno. A. Roebling, Sons and Co. vs. Hernstein and others, judgment for plaintiff for $302.50; Chas. F. Capelle vs. G. Coons, judgment for plaintiff for possession and Ic damages. The answer inthe Gercke divorce case has been withdrawn and a cross-bill has been filed in Judge Vailiant’s court. The willot Marion J. Bohlinger was admit- ted to probate to-day. The two step-sons re- ceive $1 each, and the estate is to be shared by the two sons, Joseph and Anton. Letters of administration were granted to- day to Georgiana Yocum on the estate of Nel- son Yocum. The estate is valued at $20,000. THE 8. S. CONCERT. Rehearsals Appointed for Next Week— Formation of the Chorus. The Committee of Arrangements having in charge the Sunday-school concert held their first meeting last night. The plan already mentioned in the Post-DispaTcH of having the expenses paid by private subscription and giving the gross receipts to the State Sunday-school work was unani- mously adopted and, a well-known member of the committee of great experi- ence in such matters volunteered to see that the money forthe expenses wasraised. The committee thought that about 8,000 tickets can be disposed of, which will bring about $2,000 to the State work. The date of the con- cert was not fixed, that matter being left to Director Lindsay, who is to harmonize the time with the Patti and Musical Union enter- tainments. NEXT WEEK’S REHEARSALS. The rehearsals as announced in the Post- DISPATCH will begin next week. The Central Division was divided last night into the West Central and East Central, the former meeting at the Third — and the latter at Cen- tenary Church. Director Lindsay an- nounced rehearsals for next week as follows: Monday evening, West Central, at Third Baptist Church, Washington and Grand avenues; Tuesday, North Central Division at North Presbyterian Church, Eleventh and Chambers streets: Thursday, Southern Division, Lafayette Park Presbyte- rian Church; Friday, North Division, at Fourth Christian Church, Penrose and Blair avenues; Saturday, East Central, at Centenary Church, Sixteenth and Pine streets. It is expected, said Director Lindsay this afternoon, ‘‘that the superintendents of the various schools will make these announce- ments next Sunday whether they receive the circular or not. Every one expecting to join the chorus must be at one of the meetings of next week, as by Sunday week we expect to have the chorus picked.’ Before Judge Noonan.

PATTI AND BERNHARDT. TWO GREAT ARTISTES. The Diva’s Success in San Francisco—Her St. Louis Engagement—Sarah Bernhardt to Appear at Pope’s Theaterin April—She Will Play in Sardou’s Fedora“ and „Theodora, and Also in ‘‘Frou-Frou”’— Henry Abbey’s Plans. Mr. Marcus R. Mayer, acting manager for Henry E. Abbey, who is managing Patti and Bernhardt the present season, arrived in the city this morning from Kansas City. Mr. Mayer precedes these two attractions, both of whom are to appear in St. Louis in the near future, the first toward the latter end of this month and the second in April. Mr. Mayer chatted pleasantly with a Post- DISPATCH re- yorter, the principal topic of the conversation being the two great artistes whom he repre- sents and tle future intentions of Mr. Abbey regarding ventures for the season of 1887- 1888. ‘*You’ve donbtless noticed by the papers, said Mr. Mayer, ‘‘that the explosion of the bomb in the Grand Opera-bouse at San Fran- cisco had little or no effect upon Mme. Patti’s nerves. Well, I'm not surprised at that my- self, for Mme. PATTI is one of the coolest, nerviest women I ever met. She is a first-class shot with a pistol and can drive a horse in splendid fashion. More than once she drove mein from her castle in Wales to a railroad station, seven miles dis- tant, over a rough road, in fifty-seven min- utes. A woman that can accumplish a feat like that is not liable to be frightened by alittle panic caused by a little bomb. Is she?’’ And Mr. Mayer smiled. ‘‘What has been the diva’s success? Marvelous. She started the season in New York in November, and on December 80 opened at the National Theater in the City of Mexico. You know we were preceded there by a swindler who gave his name as Charles Baurton in New York where I first met him. He was then playing the role of a journalist, and by that means secured from me Patti's route. He went to Mexico where he repre- sented that he was my brother, and sold $20,000 worth of tickets in advance on the strength of it. About $4,000 of that was silver, which he was too lazy to carry away, so that he cleared about $16,000 on the transaction. In the City of Mexico Patti's success was phenomenal. She was booked therefor four performances, and gave seven instead. The prices were Slo a seat, andthe gross receipts for the seven performance amounted to $87,000. At Los Angeles, Cal., Madame sang in a hall. She appeared but once, and the receipts for one night were $8 ,500. The price per seat charged at Los Angeles was $7.50. Mme. Patti gave six performances at the Grand Gpera- house in San Francisco and the prices there were $%aseat. These performances will aver- age $10,000. The company is a large and an ex- cellent one. Among its members are Scalchi, Gallassi, Novara and a new tenor named Guille. He willastonish you. He can touch high C without an effort.“ PATTI'S Sr. LOUIS ENGAGEMENT. „Mme. Patti will give one performance here, continued Mr. Mayer. She will ap- pear at the Music Hall on February 21, in a programme consisting of concert and selec- tions from the opera of ‘Semiramide.’ Mr. Abbey will come on with Mme. Patti and leave ber here to join Bernhardt in Washington, where she opens her engagements in America on March 1. What kind of a reception was given to Bernhardt in the South?’’ A reception of which no one can complain. She began the season in Rio Janeiro, South America, playing in St. Paulus, Montevideo, Bueno Ayres, Santiago, Vaiparaiso, Lima and Havana. She is now inthe City of Mexico, in which she opened last Sunday night. To give you an idea of the business down there all I need say is that the advance sale of seats amounted to over $27,000 at $5 a head for single nights and $ a seat for season tickets.’’ BERNHARDT IN ST. LOUIS. You'll no doubt be interested to know that Bernhardt will be in this city in April. She will play three nights in St. Louis, Thursday, April 21, Friday the 22nd and Saturday, the 23d, at Pope’stheater. She will play during this engagement ‘‘Fedora,’’ ‘‘Frou Frou’’ and Theodora.“ From St. Louis she will go to Chicago, and will close the season in San Francisco, beginning there May 30. After that she will very probably goto Australia. Has she anything in prospect for next season?’’ „Well, Sardou has made ber a good offer to oto Paris. He has written a new play, and s anxious for her to create the part. Ido not think, however, that she will accept it. When ‘‘farewell tour’’ was mentioned to Mr. Mayer in connection with Patti’s present trip he said: ‘‘Well, you may say that this will positively be Patti's last trip to the United States. Not that she does not like America, understand me, but because she detests traveling. In June, 1888, Mr. Abbey will take Patti to South America. I would like to saythat whilein Mexico we were treated ag my 9 the people there. I was vouched for by . Pedro Ruicon Gallardo, a well- known gentleman of the City of Mexico, who was formerly the Mayor of the city.“ Speaking of Mr. Abbey’s intentions respect- ing attractions which he anticipates bringing to America next season, Mr. Mayer said that the manager had four things in ops ery all reat and all European, but that he could not fmpart any definite information as to their identity. Mr. Abbey makes it a rule, said he, never to disclose the names of his people until the contracts have been signed. Mr. Mayer is one of the most widely known and popular theatrical managers in the business and is well-known throughout America and Europe. He man- aged, for Mr. Abbey, Bernhardt in 1880; Patti and Booth in 1881; Nilsson and Langtry in 18%; Henry Irving aud the Abbey Italian Opera Company in 1883.4 and Mary Anderson during the season of 1885-6. Mr. Mayer leaves to- night for Omaha. — — THE SUN’S HEAT. It Will Last 10,000,000 Years as It is Now. From the London Telegraph. A brilliant audience filled the theater of the Royal Institution last 13 (January 21) while Prof. Sir William Thomson ex- pounded the latest dynamical theories re- garding the probable origin, total amount, and ssible duration of the sun’s heat.’’ uring the short 3,000 years or more of which man 5 historic records there was, the learned physicist showed, no trace of variation in solar en- ergy; and there was no distinct evidence of iteven, though the earthas a whole, from being nearer the sun, received in January 6% per cent more heat than in July. But in the millions of years which geol- ogy carried us back, it 2 be said there must have been great changes. How had the solar fires been maintained during those ages? The scientific answer to this question was the theory of Helm- holtz that the sun was a vast globe grad- ually cooling, but as it cooled shrinking, and that the skrinkage—which was the effect of gravity upon its mass—kept up its temperature. The total of the sun’s heat was equal to that which would be required to keep up 476,000 millions of millions of mill- ions horse power, or about 78.000 horse wer for every square metre—a little more than a square yard—and yet the modern dynamical theory of heat shows that the sun’s mass would require only to fall in or contract thirty-five meters per annum to keep up that tremendous energy. At this rate the solar radius in 2,000 years’ time would be about i ag per less than at present. eo would come when the tempera- ture would fall, and it was thus jincon- ceivable that the sun would continue to emit heat sufficient to sustain existing life on the globe for more than 10,000,000 years Applying the same rinciples retrospect- vols , they could not suppose that the sun had existed for more than 20,000,000 years —no matter what might have been its origin—whether it came into existence from the clash of worlds pre-existing,or of diffused nebulous matter. There was a gost clinging by geologists and bi ts y treating it asa aaf ACTING MANAGER MAYER CHATS ABOUT THE | , but the — — — culable elements, could come to no other conclusion materially different from what he had stated. Sir William Thomson declined to discuss any chemical source of heat, which, what- ever its effect when primeval elements first came into contact, was absolutely insignificant compared with the effects of gravity after globes like the sun and the earth had been formed. In all these speculations they were in the end driven to the ultimate elements of matter—to the question—when they thought what be- came of all the sun’s heat—what is the luminiferous ether that fills space, and to that most wonderful form of force upon which Faraday spent so much of the thought of his later years’ gravity. THE REWARD OF COOLNESS. A Wealthy Lord Stares a Robber Out of Countenance—A Meeting of Thieves. Coolness and ‘‘assurance” often makes an excellent substitute for all other means of defense, if they are rightly managed. Here are two anecdotes, says the Youth’s Companion, which illustrate this fact by the aid of very different circumstances: Lord O——, an English nobleman, was a very rough and imperious man, also quite deaf. e was ridiug along the road one day in a post-chaise, asleep, when he was — 2 y a robber on horseback, who awoke him. : “What do you want?“ said Lord 0—, angrily. Money, my lord.” What money? Are you a robber? Are you the rascal who has just awoke me 80 suddenly?’ : Come, be quick!’’ said the highwa;7- man. IJhave no time to lose; f must have your purse.“ My purse!” exclaimed Lord 0—. Indeed, you shall not have it. Really, you — on a fine trade!“ He pulled out his purse, which was full, and with his finger and thumb deliberate- 5 took out two guineas, which he gave to the robber. There, that’s enough for a scoundrel like you. I hope to see you banged some of these days!“ The robber was enraged at the indiffer- ence of Lord O., who coolly put up his purse, still calling him a rascal and a scoundrel, and repeating that he hoped to see him hanged soon. The robber was so much awed by the other’s manner that he did not venture to insist on his demand for the purse, though he had a pistol in his hand to enforce it, and Lord O. drove on. The other story puts the shoe on the other foot, and makes the malefactor the cool-headed one: Massena, when he held command in Italy under Bonaparte. who was then first consul, was accused repeatedly of plun- dering, and finally was dismissed from his command in disgrace and recalled to Paris to give an account of his financial trans- actions in Genoa and Lombardy. On his arrivalin Paris he was strongly repri- manded by Bonaparte in the presence of several general officers, some of whom rested under a like accusation. When the first consul had finished his philippic, Massena turned, bowed with @ very sub- missive air, and said: Jam a thief.’’ Then he fixed his eye on Bonaparte, and, making another bow, said: Thou art a thief?’’ Looking next at Gen. Murat, he con- tinued: ‘‘He is a thief.’’ Than, regarding the whole brilliant circle of officers, he exclaimed: We are thieves.’’ Then bowing respectfully to them all he added: Lou are thieves.” He then retired, coolly saying as he went: „Mes, Citizen Consul, they are all thieves—such is the character of the French republicans!” Massena’s singular defense, which, no doubt, contained no little truth, saved him from any further proceedings in the matter of his plunderings. A Young Frenchman Buried Alive. From the London Telegraph. A painful accident, which recall’s Edgar Poe’s thrilling sketch entitled ‘*Prema- ture Burial,’’is reported from Saumur. A young man, who was afflicted with a contagious disease, suddenly died, at least to all appearance, and his burial was ordered to take place as soon as possible. The undertaker’s men, who carried the coffin to the grave, thought that they beard a noise like knocking under its lid, yet, being afraid of creating a panio among the people who attended the funeral, they went on with their burden. The coffin was duly placed in the grave, but, as the earth was being thrown upon it, unmistakable sounds of knocking were heard by everybody. The Mayor, how- ever, had to be sent for before the coffin could be opened, and some rt oc- curred in the arrival of that official. When the lid was removed the horrible discov- ery was made thatthe unfortunate inmate had only just died from asphyxia. The French law requiring speedy interment ought to be modified without delay. Eighty Miles of Ice on a Lake. From the Chicago Herald. „It is 9 impression,“ said the Captain of the Dean Richmonds, that Lake Michigan has never been frozen over. This is a mistake. Two years 0 there was good ice all the way from Mil- waukee to Grand Haven—about eighty miles—and the anchor ice (the ice nearest the shore) was two and three feet thick. Anchor ice is not disturbed by winds. It attaches itself to the frozen sand, and there it stays until it becomes rotten. There is a good deal of ice in the lake this winter, but not near so much as there was two years ago, when it wascon- sidered no feat at all to walk from Mil- wauke3 to Racine on the anchor or shore ice. Two weeks more of right smart cold weather would freeze the pond fromshore to shore, but a good many years’ ex rience as a fresh-water sailor tells me that the worst is over, and that there will be lots of open water by the Ist of nexs month.”

The President has signed the fraudulent Back- bone land-grant bill, and Jay GOULD has a good round million of dollars to console him for the defeat of the gentleman from Maine who was so often found ‘‘popping up from behind Jar GOULD’s breast- works,’? THE deceptive nature of a true fissure vein has recently received fresh and painful illustration in Third street circles, and airy stocks that floated high on the wind of expectation are now trailing in the dust of reality. It was at one time feared that the chief obstacle to the suc- cessful extraction of silver fromour mines was the cost of cutting through the gold to get at the silver, but for some time to come the difficulty will be the cost of rais- ing the greenbacks to pay up with. NO BRAVER man nor better fireman ever served the city than ‘‘Joz CHam- BERS’’ who met his death at the post of duty in the Arnot fire. He and Gun- SAULLUS, the citizen who volunteered to save the property, leave families in very poor circumstances. There is no pension fund for them, although they gave their lives for the public good, and the occasion is one where the public spirit of St. Louis might very properly be called on to show that in this city such courage and devotion are not unappreciated. —e, — — — n 1 MR. ALLEN of Mississippi, who is serving his first term in Congress and has not yet been long enough in Washington to be- come demoralized, arose in the House on Thursday and gave his fellow Demo- crats a kind of talk of which they will hear more anon from both press and peo- ple. He told them they were lavishing money on @ Democratic Administration largely in excess of the appropriations for the last Republican Administration, and that, instead of reducing the taxes on the poor and laying some on the riches of the rich, they were drawing still heavier draughts on the pockets of the poor. There is a National reputation awaiting any Democratic Congressman who is fresh enough from the people and bas the nerve to recount in Congress the failures, shortcomings and bad breaks of the par- ty’s representatives at Washington, and to speak of them as they deserve. Mr. ALLEN has only scratched the surface of a mine that is full of rich material. — — — — IS THIS REFORM? But for the New York WorLp’s timely exposures and telling blows we should have witnessed the enactment of a Pacifico Railroad debt funding bill which would have been the crowning infamy of our Pacific Railroad legislation. It would have drawn the veil over all past viola tions of law by the managers of those roads and rewarded them with a clear gift of $100,000,000. The fact is that the country is not only disappointed but is fast becoming deeply disgusted at the alacrity with which the Democrats begin where the Republicans left off, and at the readiness with which they put through enormous appropria- tions or adopt any measure which may prevent tax reduction. Not only this, but we find that Democratic ‘‘inflooence’’ can complete some of the foulest land- grabbing jobs that were ever begun under Republican auspices, and can also be as deaf to the demands of public justice as any Republican ring that ever bagged boodle in Washington. Fifteen years ago an investigating com- mittee reported to Congress that the frauds which the Pacific railroads had systematically and persistently perpe- trated were so heinous as to call fora forfeiture of their charters. But now, checked in the very act of condoning those and subsequent frauds and confer- ring a gift of $100,000,000, Congress does nothing to stop them and is timidly hesi- tating over aproposition to institute an- other investigation and to require the roads to pay 40 per cent of their net earn- ings towards the discharge of their rap- idly increasing indebtedness to the Gov- ernment. Even where the House and the Interior Department have shown a disposition to protect the public domain from the land- grabbers, we find Democrats supporting Senate amendments which condone and confirm all fraudulent claims in the past, and which Secretary LAMAR and Land Commissioner SPARKS denounce as pro- motive of land-grabbing and utterly de- structive of the public domain. But, when we see both houses enacting and the President approving a bill ratify- ing the most scandalous job old ‘‘Beans’’ POMEROY was ever guilty of, and oon- firming his sale of the bogus Backbone land grantto Jay GOULD, it is time to pause and listen for the Democratic voices that have so long and loudly denounced Republicans for such shameless betrayals of public trust, If they speak not now, it is because they are struck dumb with amazement and mortification. STRIKE HIGHER, The invitation extended by the United States Marshal to Mr. PRENDERGAST, alias O'REILLY, alias MITCHELL, formerly of St. Louis but more recently of Chicago, to return to St. Louis and confer with the District-Attorney is a welcome indication that the Court means business and does not propose to allow the election repeaters to escape the penalty of their misdeeds by the easy process of jumping their bonds. Mr. PRENDERGAST, however, is person- ally and individually a small and unim- portant boodler. His only power for evil arose from his membership in an or- ganized and influential gang. He is merely a link in the chain that has fet- tered city politics, a private in the army of corruption, a hireling of employers more guilty than himself. What is needed is the punishment of the employers who directed the false registra- tion, the criminal revision, the organized repeating, the perjury and forgery of the whole election. The law which punishes the privates should reach the colonels. The charge of Judge Treat should be heeded. There is no sécurity for an hon- est election in St. Louis, if the law does not strike higher.“ TUBS ON WHEELS. During the hundred and odd years of the existence of St. Louis, some summers have been hotter than others, but there is no record of a summer that was not hot and correspondingly dusty. The soft lime- stone and the sun-baked clay of this lo- cality make a dust so light that it floats and lingers in the air which it permeates, and a puff of wind suffices to raise more of it in a minute than will disappear ina day. It is a nuisance in the eyes and the nose and the mouth, a damage to clothing and furniture and stocks of goods, to grass and to trees and to flowers, an obstruction to daily toil and Sunday pleasure, a det- riment t¢trade and travel, a temptation to the irascible and a persecution to the meek, a drain on our incomes, a strain on our piety, a regret to our visitors, a re- proach to our patriotism, a manifold and multifarious, indescribable, illimitable, unbearable, ineluctable, unnecessary and pestiferous nuisance. | Summer after summer we have the dust, and summer after summer we cry aloud in protest and swear a solemn oath that next summer St. Louis shall be sprinkled. But it is never next summer. It isalways some other summer, The ordinance is in- troduced; hope springs up in the civic breast; but always the little lobby gath- ers about the municipal barn, the gentle persuasive pressure is brought to bear, the ordinance is killed and the citizens prepare to flee, while the owners of the green wheeled tubs rejoice, tinction of class in this desire, Owners want it and tenants want it, the rich de- sire it, the poor need it, the mei chants insist on it, the workmen are anxious for it, the women and children are ready to ery for it. All that is needed is for half a dozen delegates from the crowded, un- ventilated, superheated down-town wards toseethe error of their ways, to recog- nize the existence of public opinion when it hits them witha club, and make the general welfare paramount to the inter- ests of the owners of the tubs on wheels. —— ANARCHIST CRANKS. When the news came of the attempted assassination of PatT!1 it was at first hoped that it was the act of a lunatio. It was senses would wantonly attempt the cow- ardly murder of a woman, who for 80 many years has filled the world with the pure and innocent pleasure of listening to the most wonderful voice of the age. But itappears that the would-be mur- derer belongs just across the line which divides the lunatic from the anarchist crank. He is no more crazy than any other of the bomb-throwers who have recently attempted to defy the law and to destroy society and civilization. Fortun- ately such monsters are few and there is one way of making their number less, that is to visit on their offences the full penalty of the law which they defiantly attempt to overthrow. — e — THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. — What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISsPaTcH. New Tonk, February 11.—The WORLD says: It is both charitable and in accord with what we believe to be the well founded repu- tation of the President as an honest man and a conscientious executive, to suppose that he did not know the real nature of the swindling ‘Backbone’ land grant bill which he made a law by his signature. Yetit must be said, and with equal justice, that the Fresident should have known the nature of this job. Mr. Edmunds had denounced itin open Senate as ‘the most audacious steal that I ever heard ot in the United States. It is an old Steal running back into the Republican ad- ministration—just the sort of a plundering job which the Democrats were given power to stop. Secretary Lamar stopped the issuing of the land stealing patents and referred the m rto Congress. This, of itself, it would seem, should have caused any bill in relation to the matter to receive a careful scrutiny. Yet the bill was signed and the swindle is legalized. Perhaps somebody will explain how and why. THE SU. The Sun says: The orators of the Senate taxed the resources of figurative language to express their respective conceptions of the personality ofthe late Gen. Logan. He was described Mr. Cuilom as a giant, a stardy oak, an idol; by Mr. Morgan as a moy- ing energy, still useful inthe great purposes of the divine economy; by Mr. Manderson as the very spirit ot war; by Mr. Palmer as a Danton an a Winkelreld; by Mr. Sabin asa colossus among the giants of American bis- tory and by Mr. Evarte asa tapestry of 3 color an noble pattern. Alike in the case of conspicuous men like Gen. Logan and in the case of the obscurest represen- tatives who die while in office, the eulogies delivered in Congress are almost without exception commonplace, uninstruc- tive, perfunctory. For that reason, if for no other, it would be better to omit them alto- gether. The adoption of the formal resolu- tions of sorrow would be quite, enonugh.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘We advise all friends of Home Rule in the United States to observe at- tentively the progress of the Pope’s campaign in support of Bismarek’s demand fora Reich- stag which will give up all control over the army for seven years. Protestant Germany would doubtless ronounce against Bis- marck. Withtheaid of the Po who is not German and still less Protestant, Bismarck is likely to suceeed. The spectacie presented by this use of the power of the Church is not Without interest to the cifizens of this republic,’’ THE TRIBUNE. »The Tribune says: ‘‘Whether in the ma- 4 or in the — . 2 the Democratic party s invariablv, tnherentiy and of necessity the party of obstruction. It does nothing, and will not permit anything to be done. Mr. Reed brought this characteristic into ludi- crous relief when he asked unanimous con- sent forthe immediate consideration of the Senate coast defenses bill. A bevy of Demo- cratic bunglers and obstructi nists led, of eourse, by Holman, bellowed out a chorus of objections. Mr. Reed took the opportanity of showing that it the ewdent will of the people with regard to defensive fortifications is not carried out, it willbe the acknowledged fault of the Democrats who, as the party in power, are charged with this paramount duty. The fact of the matter is this: The Democratic party does not know how to legisiate. It never did. Whenit attempts auything it ai. ways makes a mess of it. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

RANDALL OPPOSES THE SENATE BILL AND FAVORS A REDUCTION. — Senator Camden’s Plan to Capture Repub. lican Support for Be-Election—Consul- General Porch Puts on His War Paint— The Dependent Pension Bill—President and Mrs. Cleveland Give Their Third Card Reception. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPaTcH. Wasninerom, D. C., February ll. — Mr. Randali will not allow the appropriation bill for the coast defenses to be reported by the Appropriation Committee. He is opposed to the Senate bill recently passed by that body appropriating $21,000,000. Mr. Randall will do nothing until after the conferees of the two Houses make a report on the bill, which has not to be supposed that anyone in his. been pending for more than a year, and which originally appropriated about $5,000,000 for coast defenses. He thinks the con- ferees ought to be able to come to an agreement, and favors an appro- priation of $10,000,000 instead of $21,000,000, which he believes would be sufficient atthe resent time. His idea is to place around the ill, now in conference, restrictions not now incorporated which will provide for the ap- pointment of a commission composed of en- gineers from civil lite and in no way con- nected with the Urdnance Department. His commission is to have charge of the expendi- ture. Mr. Randall is of the opini.n that it is useless to go into the construction of expen- sive guns now. It has been proven that the officiais of the Ordnance Department are badly in need of information regarding the most practicabie and useful kind of guns. In the opinion ofthe Appropriation Committee the ordnance people have one insane on the subject of steel guns, while it has been demonstrated that steel is inferior to lron. In view of the fact that a revolution is now going on in the manufacture of guns and war ships, the committee think it more economical and in better keeping with the interests of the Government await developments in this direction before making large appropriations. 1 n THE WEST VIRGINIA SENATORSHIP. Senator Camden's Scheme to Capture Re- publican Members of the Legislature. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 11.—Pri- vate telegrams received here last night from Charleston indicate that Senator Camden is in a fair way to make an iuroad upon the Re- publican strength of tbe West Virginia Legis- lature sufficient to secure his re-election. One dispatch says his programme has been to buy up the local Republican press and thus secure advocacy inthe organs, which will make it easy for Republican delegates and Senators who may have been ‘‘seen,’’ to violate the caucus agreementto hang together and sup- port no Democrat for the Senatorship. A rominent Republican here says that the publican pian of action was to allow the Democrats to settle their fight without assist- ance, or let the election go by defautt,in order that Gov. Wiison, who is Mr. Camden’s oppo- nent, might select a Senator to serve until the next biennial Legislature in 1889, when two Senators would be chosen at once. The Re- ublicans feel sanguine of carrying the next xisiature and of electing successors to both Mr. Camden and Mr. Kenna. The dispatches received here from Charleston sharply criti- cise the Republicans, who are apparently about to allow a miscarriage of the programme unanimously egress upon and re carried into effect. It Is said that on Saturday Mr. Camden will show his hand. ——,, — — SOCIETY AND THE WHITE HOUSE. 5 a Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland’s Reception to the Army aud Navy and the Marine Corps. BV Telegraph to the Post-DIsPatTcu. a Wasurncros,D. O., February 11. — President and Mrs. Cleveland gave their third card recep- tion of the season last evening, the special guests being officers of the Army and Navy and the Marine Corps. There was, as usual, a large attendance. Mrs. Manning, Mrs. Endi- cottand Mrs. Vilas stood in line with the President and Mrs. Cleveland. Messrs. Man- ning, Endicott and Whitney and Postmaster - Gen. Vilas represented the Cabinet. Mrs. Cleveland wore a full evening dress of pale blue silk and tuile starred wich u- ver daisies and biue plumes in her hair. Mra. Manning wore lemon-colored satin. with solid front of rich white laces; Mrs. En- dicott, mandarin yellow watered brocade, combined with ruby velvet; Mrs. Vilas, helio- trope skirt en traine with sleeves and Miss Rose Cleveland and Mies Van Vechten were among the group in the rear of the line, the former wearing white plush and the latter a Paris dress of white satin and lace. Both looked particularily well and received cordial greetings on every side. The army and naval officers, with the Lieutenant-General aud Admiral in their lead, made a fine appearance in full uniform. Gen. Sickles exchanged reminiscences with his old comrades. Gen. N. P. Banks was another conspicuons figure, recalling the past. Mme. De Barrios, after leaving the blue parior group, held a little court in the green parior, seated on a divan in a sweeping bilac« train, her petite, handsome person a blaze of diamonds. The wives and daughters of the military and civilian guests were attired in rich evening dress. Senator Cameron came late, bringing with him the distinguished uests from the Pennsylvania ‘‘Farmers’ lub,’’ who had dined in the evening at his house. Senator Farwell also accompanied him. Senator and Mrs. Ed- munds spent an hour in the ej parior, The tall figures of Senator Platt of Connecticut and Congressman Reed of Maine were conspicu- ous inthe thronged east pariors. The hours were from9to ll. The night, which had set in stormy, ended in superb moonlight, a boon to the home-going guests. The Marine Band discoursed spirited music throughout the evening. The President once or twice left his station and came down the line to chat with the assisting ladies of his cabinet. Consul-General Porch. By Telegraph to the Post-DispatTca. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 11.—Secre- tary Bayard is considerably worked up over the little rebellion Consul-General Poren is inaugurating in the City of Mexico in his re- fusal to consentto be removed from office. Mr. Porch bas telegraphed to his friends here asking to be givén a hearing before he is sum- marily dismissed. In bis dispatch he threat- ens to furnish information regarding the con- duct of some of the American officials at the Mexican Court which, he intimates, will re- flect seriously upon the Secre of State. It is supposed the Consul-General has reference to the present Minister, Judge Manning, and if he not retained he will tell what he knows. It is not 4 that an effort at re- consideration will be entertained by either the President or Secretary of State, and there does not seem to be much hope for Mr. Porch. The Dependent Pension Bill. By Telegraph to the POST-DIsPATcir. has been received at the White House a great bundle of petitions protesting against the President signing the dependent pension bill.

The niges the position he is in and man he will view the measure from a politi- cal standpoint before he makes a final de- cision. -day is the last day the bill can re- main with the President without either his signature or veto.

New YORK, February II.— Tony Hart was a very sick man yesterday and came very near losing his eyesight and ruining bis face by carbolic acid. It is the comedian’s habit daily to use glycerine and rose water on his face to preserve the skin. Yesterday morning aftera hard night’s work at the performance in Newark, Mr. Hart did not get up till late. After his morning bath he took a bottie which lay on the washstand and poured some into tbe hollow of his hands, closed his eyes and quickly rubbed the fluid over his face but almost as suddenly dis- covered his mistake. In a few seconds it began to sting his eyes, cheeks and fore- head. He called to his wife to run for a doc- tor while he bathed his face with cold water. Mrs. Hart, upon learning what the mistake was, got a vaseline bottle and bathed Mr. Hart’s face with it. The forehead soon be- came covered with white ridges. The sufferer did not dare open his eyes; he thought he had become blind. Dr. Robertson hurried to the house and treated the face with a salve. Mr. Hart’s cheeks swelled out un- til they looked like dalloons. After a couple of hours rest, the swelling subsided and an examination was made of the eyes. It was found that the eyes were not in- jured, but that the inside under lid of the left eye was burned. The comedian said he was billed to appear at the New Haven Opera- house, but Dr. Robertson would not permit him to leave the house. Mr. Hart telegraphed the mavazer that he would not be able to keep his engagement, but that he thought he would be able to appear to-night. — Amusement Notes.

N. and the Press Strange History of a Man Who — ally Travels—A Periodical Visiter to the Newspaper Offices—His Railway Passes —A Clipping. He looks to be 60 years of age. He may d older. You don’t think much about his : when you first see him. It is his size — catches you, and his evident Carnestness The philosopher is an easy six feet — in his stockings, and built like 4 — pioneer. They say that back in the days When some honor attached to the position, J. N. Was a member of the Oni, Legislature. That wa, long before the war. He lived then somewhere near Newark. It 4 known, too, that during the gold excitement in 49 J. N. was one of the California crowd. That was where he firs felt the pressure. The exact nature of the pressure, or the character of the ‘‘veil’’ which is to be lifted, or the precise composition of the force“ which he em. ploys, are not known, but log observation and attention have taught his friends that they apply only to the mentality. There isn’t an editor in the worla that dares write these four words, J. N. wil! say. He then writes them on a slip and hands them to the member of the edi. torial force which he happens to be addressing. It would be of public interest to have those four words known, but as their author says, journalistic plagiarism stands aghast at the idea. His long gray hair falls in curls upon his shoulders and his black slouch hatis seldom removed. He walkes into the newspaper offices, all over the country, a welcome guest, looks over the exchanges and takes such as meet his approval. These he puts up in a roll and takes them no mortal can tell whither. The oldest newspaper men remember J. N. as far back as twenty-five years ago. His terri. tory then was confined entirely to the east of the Mississippi River, and he walked. He looked aboutas he does now, they say, ex. cept that the long hair was not 80 gray. His companion then wag an immense dog. Now J. N. rides. He oftey — his railroad passes, which make a package nearly two inches thick. No name is on them, only the talismanic initials J. N. in the sentence, Fas- J. N. and one on account ot truth and reconciliation until revoked.’’ Until revoked, for the passes are not annuals, but are for life. The and one“ is there by his arrangement ti he declines to accept the pass unless the om is incorporated in its provisions. But he rides alone. The dog has died years and years ago. Who is the one? Now J.N.roams over the entire country unmolested, but he says: ‘‘I can remember the time when there was a disposition to mob me in nearly every town in tne United States. The pressure was very then, but the veil is lifting and no one oubts my power now. I can transfix them instantiy. i've got them right there, under his thumb. J. N.’s brothers live in Ohio. The family They are all well-to-do and would gladly care for him. Occasionally he visits them for a few days ast a time and they take delight in providing him with a new outfit of clothing and such immediate funds as he may require butthe ‘‘pressure’’ gradually increases an J. N. finds it necess to go to some suffering district and relieve it, or hurry to some me- tropolis that requires ‘‘transfixing.’’ expect to go to New Yorkin afew weeks.“ he said yes ay, as he sat in the Post-Dis- PATCH Office. ‘‘I haven't been there yet. **Why haven't you been there, J. N.?“ **Too much mental force there for me to. con bel mA? He ieft a little personal to be inserted and went away with a roll of exchanges about the size of a joint of stovepipe. He has gone to **transfiix’’ Cincinnati. No individual is more extensively known personally than J. N. For years he has been a periodically familiar figure in every town and city ofthe country, tarrying but a day and then moving on with the ‘‘force’’ and under the pressure“ and reappearing in a few months. His course about the country can be traced by the personals unintelligibie to all butthe newspaper fraternity. The personals are J. N.’s delight, and chronicle ambiguously his arrival in the various towns and his laconic rts on the pressure. When he first began his wanderings he was misunderstood and trequentiy arrested at the instance of people who fancied some threat in his odd deport- ment, but those days are past and ' wanders where he listeth. In tne long ago he insisted upon being called the Im- mo . N., but his reputation is so well established now that the dignity reqnires no rotecting adjectives. The ‘‘Immortal’’ has n distributed and he goesto press simply as J. N. He declines to be interviewed on the subjectto which he alludes. In his opinion the man who don't understand his reference at once is not worth his consideration. „ How is she to-day, boys?’ is bis customary greeting as he comes into an office. Tne boys“ have learned to comprehend that much and they answer accordingly, giv- ing their barometrical idea of the pres. sure If it is light the philosopher is gratified. If heavy he promises immediate relief and a paragraph is inserted reassuring the community at large. Whatever the pres- sure is it is something that was responsible forthe rebellion, that explains the pecullar actions of the prominent men on both sides, and is still in active — tion. But it keeps N. usy. When he went away on his last visit he carried with him the promise that the following — 5 ing from the Newark (O.) Advocate should Save publication in the PosT- DISPATCH: “J.

In the South Kensington Museum there js. as everybody knows, an immense col- jection of objects, a pealing to all tastes and all classes, and we find there at the ame time people belonging to the wealthy and cultivated part of society yngering over the Louis Seize cabinets or the old majolica, and the artisan and his wife studying the statements as to the relative economy of baking powders, or admiring Tippoo Saib’s wooden tiger. There is one shelf, however, which seems to have some attraction common to al] social grades, for its contents appear tobe of equal interest to the peer and the costermonger. It is the representation of man resolved into his chemical elemenis, or rather an exhibition of the materials of which the human body is composed. There is a definite amonnt of water, for instance, in our blood and tissues, and there on the shelf are just so man gallons of water in a large vessel. Another jar shows the exact quan- tity of carbon in us; smaller bottles con- tain our iron and our phosphorus in just proportion, while othersexhibit still other wnstituents of the body, and the whole reposes on the shelf, as if ready for the ming of a new Frankenstein to recreate fe original man and make him walk pout again as we do. The little vials that contain the different dements which we all bear about in small proportions are more numerous, and they aggest not merely the com lexity of our enstitutions but the identity of our ele- ments with those we have fonnd by the spectroscope, not alone in the sun, but even in the distant stars and nebule, for this wonderful instrument of the new as- tronomy can find the traces of poison ina stomach or analyze a star, and its conclu- sions adus to think that the ancients were nearly right when they called man a r little universe.

She nothing for us if she has no scandal at- tached to her. Kate Vaughan is a par- tieularly graceful, delicate-looking girl, who has made berself popular on the bur- lesque stage by the supple elegance of her style and the picturesque tight- ness of her dresses. She was origin- aly in the smallest of London music halls and first — on the regular sageof Drury Lane in a pantomime. From thence she came to the Gaiety Theatre and for several years was one of the popular quartet headed by Terry Royee and Nellie Farren. Kate Vaughan as very soon notorious. Her first firta- tion was with a well-known criminal bar- Tister, who has since been made Judge in India. The next man who was known to have thrown his cap and _ gloves over the windmills for her was John Delacour, one of the best-looking swells inLondon. His good looks were of no gra in the end, for the nephew of the Duke of Wellington, Col. Fred Wellesley ofthe Guards, by no means a handsome nan, carried her off to Vienna, where he vas pursued by the indignant John with word and pistols. Col. Wellesley, how- ever, did not care to meet his predecessor, and made a rapid exit with the beautiful Kate—an exit hastened, perhaps, by the fact that his (the Colonel’s) own wife was then staying at the Grand Hotel in the Kaiserstadt.

MUNKACSY’S GREAT PAINTING. Mr. Wanamaker Pays Over .8100,000 for „ Christ Before Pilate.” By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New Tonk, February II.—The announce: ment yesterday of the sale of Munkacsy’s great picture, ‘‘Christ Before Pilate,’’ to John Wanamaker of Philadelphia, did not cause much surprise in art circies, as it had been generally understood that several per- sons were negotiating with the owner of the painting for its purchase. It is said that Mr. Wanamaker paid $100,000 for the canvas, and itis known that Mr. Sedelmsyer has held an- other offer of that even amount under consid- eration for a fortnight. It is Mr. Wana- maker's urpose to exhibit the worid- famous cture in his Philadelphia store as an advertisement. The net profit of Mr. Sedelmeyer from fts exhibition and the saie of photographs and etchings in New York has been thus far about $50,000. It will be shown until the end of the present month. The works of Munkacsy, Brozik and Tito Lessy, shown in the small gallery in the rear of the large canvas, have been with two or three exceptions sold for amounts aggre- gating $11,000. The price paid by Mr. Wana- maker for this pone is the largest ever aid for a single picture in America, Mr. tewart is said to bave paid $67,000, including duties, for the large Meissonler 1807“ soon to be sold at auction. For Jules Breton’s „Les Communicantes’’ Mr. Donald Smith of Montreal paid $45,000. These prices have, however, excited derision among well informed art dealers and connoisseurs everywhere, and it is now generally agreed that the financial results of the Morgan sale were due simply to a gigantic bluff game played by men of long purses and little real art knowledge. By a special contract Mr. Sedelmeyer controls all M. Mankacsy’s works and has the first option of purchase when the artist produces any new canvas. The ‘‘Christ Before Pilate’' was sold to Mr. Sedelmeyer outright, and Munkacsy’s recent visit bere was due simply to his friendship for Mr. Sedeimevyer and bis desire to see this country. Mr. Sedeimeyer returned to this city yester- day from Philadelphia. When asked about the sale of the picture he said: ‘‘lam not at present at liberty to state the price which wes paid for the painting, but it is sold, and the price aid was considerably more than $100,000. Mr. ‘anamaker has for some years been engaged in collecting art treasures, and I myself have lately sold him some of the best works of Mun- kacsy, Brozik and Tito Lessy. It is the inten- tion of Mr. Wanamaker to buiida suitable gal- lery adjacentto his mammoth store, and on certain days of the week charge no admission. The ‘Christ before Pilate’ will be exposed in a special room. The plans of the new gallery are already in the hands of an architect.“ The Price Paid. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. PHILADELPHIA, February 11.—Mr. John Wanamaker was out oftown yesterday. Mr. Ogden, amember of the firm, confirmed the reported purchase of the great painting, „Christ Betore Pilate.’’ Mr. Wanamaker, he Said, did not see it until 2 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, and seven hours later agreed to purchase it. He will —— build a gallery for it here, as he has no suitable place for it in his city or his country residence. The canvas is 14x22 feet. Mr. Wanamaker will obtain pos- session of the painting by May, but he has not yet decided what be will do withit. Mr. Ogden said that $125,000 had been asked for the pic- ture, and he did not believe it was sold for less than that sum. NEW SPRING WOOLENS in our merchant-tailoring department.

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New Tonk, February 1l.—Wm. M. Chase, awell-known painter, one of the founders of the Society of American Artists, the proud proprietor of the most gorgeous and unique studio in New York, and the intimate friend of Whistler, has announced to his friends that he is married to Miss Ony Gerson, ah exceedingly pretty and vivacious young woman, who for two or three years has posed as his model. The news traveied fast, and the studios fairly buzzed with the surprise. Among his friends Mr. Chase was regarded as a bachelor of the most confirmed type. As to Miss Gerson, kind words and generous pene were lavished on every hand, but the dea of a painterso prominent as Chase mar- rying his model startled the artistic fancy and started a myriad of conjectures. It was true she had not been a model for everybody. Mr. Chase had been fortunate enough to se- cure her services when she first began to pose and he has monopolized her time ever since. She is now about 20 years of age. A mysteri- ous and interesting feature of the case was that Mr. Chase was able at the same time that he announced the fact of being a husband, to mention also that be was a father. He had been married a year and there was A baby in the case. Here was a rare bit of news for the colony of artists’ wives. Beyond the mere fact of an- nouncing his new responsibilities, however, Mr. Chase voucbsafed no information to his closest friends. Miss Gerson, now Mrs.Chase, THE ARTIST'S BRIDE, isa handsome brunette of good family. The figure piece in last summer’s Loan Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is now at the American Art Gallery, is painted with her as a model. It pictures a young lady in a corduroy cloak and bat against a peculiar biue background, and is very effective. No special attempt has been made to conceal the likeness, so that the reproduction of Mrs. Chase's features is exceedingly faithful. Her figure is lithe and well rounded, and altogeth- er she has the quality attaching to all good models, which is described among artists as paintable. a William M. Chase is a handsome, well formed man of something under 40 years and belongs to what is known as the new school of American art. Somesix years ago he es- etablished bimself in the biggest and best stu- dios inthe Tenth street building, One of the studios was an immense exhibition room. Here he hung his pictures and located his pupils. In fitting oo ulis rooms he spared no expense.

Mark Tells of His Experience as a Publisher and Promises Interesting Kevelations in the Future—Ben Franklin and Philadel- phia—Fiatiers Himself as an Author—A Chapter on Education—An Extract From a Book by a School Teacher. BV Telegravh to the Post-DISPATCH. New YorK, February 11.—The twelfth an- nual dinner ofthe Stationers Board of Trade was given last evening at the Hotel Bruns- wick. There were about 150 persons present. The feature ot the entertainment which fol- Jowed the dinner was the speech of Mark Twain. Mark Twain said: “GENTS—I find this an evening of surprises. I came here through an understanding with the Chairman that I was not to break over pledges made and dritt into an after-dinner speech, un- less Isaw immoralities or crime being com- mitted, and lo, I have waited in constant ex- pectation that something would be said or done that would compel me to speak. But concerning what has been said and done here I am bound to say that tbus far there have been mere misdemeanors. 1 have been introduced to you as an example ofthe author and the pab- Usher. Iam one of the latest publishers, and lam one of the oldest authors and certainly one of the best. [Laughter.] When I came here Texpected to remain in some humble capacity outside of the door and never dreamt of being made conspicuous by taking a high seat among the distinguished guests. But then I am used to being made conspicuous. [More laughter.] AsI say I have found really nothing to attack. Iexpected Mr. Breman to commit himself—lawyers are always commit- ting themselves—but Mr. Breman was—the fact is his speech can actually be compli- mented, [Laughter.] As to his attacking Ben, that is tosay Ben Franklin, an old, dead man, that can be explained. Franklin was sober because he lived in Philadelphia. Why, Philadelphia is a sober city to-day. What must it have been in Franklin’s time? [Great laughter.}] Why, it is as good as Sunday to be in Philadelphia now. [More laughter.) FRANKLIN WAS FRUGAL, and he says himself he had no vices, because, though he little suspected it, he made a vice of frugality. Yousawthis. Mr. Breman told you how he did, but when he mentions why he did it he gives himself away, and finally he wishes that at the last he may be shoved into a barrel of Madeira, but if he had lived here instead of in Philadelphia he would have wanted to get the barrel of Madeira into him. [Roars of laugh- ter.] I am here in the character of author and publisher, but 1 thinkI will let that rest. [Renewed laughter. ] Referring to a previous remark of the Chatir- man of the Board who was about to establish a legal department Mr. Twain said: Lou want achaplain more than you want a law- ver. As to his capacity asa publisher, he said: ‘‘Oh, I can teli youa great deal about publishing, but I don’t think 1 will. 1 am rather too fresh yet. Iam atthe honest stage now, but after a while, whenlI graduate and grow rich, I will tell you all about it. [Con- tinued laughter. } „Turning his attention to education he said: It is so common that an education is within the grasp of every one, and it he does not want to pay for it, why here is the State ready to pay for it for him. But sometimes I want toinguire What an education is. Il remember myself that when I went to school 1 was told that an adjective is an adverb and it must be governed by the third person singular, and all that sort of thing. [Laughter.] And when I got out of school I straightway forgot all about it. [More laughter.}] In my combined character of publisher and author, I receive a great many manuscripts from people who say they wantacandid opinion whether that is good literature or not. THAT IS ALL A LIB. What they want is a compliment. But as to this matter of education, the first that strikes you is how much teaching has really been done and how much is worthless cramming. You have all seen a little book called ‘English as She is spoke.’ Now,in my capacity as publisher, I recently received a manuscript from a teacher which embodied a number of answers given by her pupils to questions pro- pounded. These answers show that the children had nothing but the sound to go by; the sense was periectiv empty. Here are some of their answers to words they were asked to define: ‘* *‘Auriferous—Pertaining to an orifice.’ (Laughter. ] ‘**Ammonia—A food of the Gods.’ [Re- newed iaughter. } The ‘Equestrian—One who asked questions.’ **Parasite—A kind of umbrella. [Roars of laughter. } ‘-*Ipecac—A man who likes a good dinner.’ {Shouts of laughter. } And bere is the definition of an ancient word honored by a great party: ** *Republican—A sinner mentioned in the Bible.’ [Shouts ot laughter.) And here is an innocent deliverance of a zoological kind: ‘There are a good many | donkeys in the theological gardens. ’ Here also is a definition which really is not very bad in its way: ‘Demagogue—A vessel containing beer and other liquids.’ [Prolonged laughter. Here, too, is a sample of a boy’s compo- sition on girls, which I must say Lrather like: „Girls are very stuck-up and dignified in their maner and behaveyour. They think more of dress than a bm = and like to play With dowls and rags. They cry if they see a cow in the far distance and are afraid of guns. They stay at home all the time and go to church every sundat. They are al-ways sick. They are al-wavs funy and making fun of boys hands and they say how dirty. They cant play marbies. 1 pity them poor things. They make fun of boys and then turn round and love them. I dont belave they ever killed acatoranything. They look out every nite and say, Oh, Ant the moon lovely.’’ Thir is one ting I have not told and that is Same , al- ways now their lessons dettern Are You Miserable?

A WIDOW’S RIGHTs, Mrs. Reay Gets a Big Judgment Against a Greedy Corporation. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn. NEW York, February 11.—After many anx- ious months of waiting Mrs. M. A. Reay, who is a stationer at 77 John street, was yes- terday informed that Timothy Griffith, Master by appointment of the United States Circuit Court, had declared her entitled to $130,000, in a suit brought by her nearly seven ago against the Berlin & Jones Envelope Company for infringement of patent. G. H. Reay, her husband, died in 1876. He had invented a machine for making envelopes. The store on John street yielded the widow but a slender income. She was in straitened circumstances in May 1880, when she learned that since 1868, the Berlin 4 Jones Company had been using twenty-four machines constructed upon her husband's patentand from which neither he nor she had derived any rovalty. Judge Wheeler of the United States Circuit Court decided that there had been an infringement and referr the matter to Mr. Griffith to find what dalhages Mrs. Reay oughtto have. By the testimony itappeared that upon learning that the de- fendants had constructed machines upon her husband's patent, she addressed the com- pany stating her circumetances and asking a settlement. 8 duced also the reply of the defendants to this application. It refused to acknowledge that she had any rights or claim against them and defied her to bring suit, saying that they would fight her to the last. In ber financial straits this reply had a distressing effect upon her, but she felt pound to act at on e, if at all, as the pat- ent Was about to expire. Lawyers Briesen and Steel took her case into court. could not be hastened. It took three years to | et in all the testimony. Mrs. Reay ciai thateach machine had saved the — The case ls, at $7 each per week, for twelve years. Since June last Mr. Griffith has had the testimony under consideration. His finding was based on Mrs. Reay’s calculation, Now the case will go back to court for review. Should the defendants appeal they will have to give bonds for tne full amount involved. A reaffirmation of the jud ent will put the money at once within Mrs. Reay’sreach. She was much affected yesterday on hearing of the Master’s findings.

CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS, — — A Switch-Tender’s Error Brings About a Very Serious Accident. A switch-tender’s error was the cause of a collision at the Ewing avenue cross- ing last night, in which one man sus- tained serious injuries, and considerable dam- age was done. About 10 o’clocka yard en- gine pulled atrain of cars on the scale-track and then wentup tothe tank for water. The engineer gave orders tothe switchman at the crossing notto open the scale track for any other train, but notwithstanding the warning, a few minutes afterwards the switch- tender opened the track fora Frisco freight. The engine drawing the freight had its front to the car, and Mike Coffey, the fireman, who was shovelling coal when the collision oc- curred, was thrown backward into the cab and had his left leg crushed in some manner so badly that amputation will be necessary. Coffey is 22 years of age and resided in East St. Louis. He was sent to the City Hospital.

Suburban Property in Demand—- Important Sales of the Week, With the approach of spring investors and speculators commence to turn their attention to suburban property. There have been several sales of and any number of offers for suburban property during the past fortnight. One sale completed during the week by C. Bent Carr, agent for Dr. J. Sheppard Cabanne, the founder of Cabanue place, is very impor- tant, because it closes out nearly all the vacant lots in the east end of the place. It Was a sale from Dr. Cabanne to Mr. Estill McHenry, who purchased eleven lots on the north side of the lace near Union avenue. They were lots Nos. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 18, 14, 15. t No. 1, which is at the corner of Union avenue, the eastern ye of the lace, bas a frontage of 60 feet, and the others ave the regulation frortage of 50 feet each. The total frontage of the property is 560 feet, and the price was $14,000, just $25 per foot. Lots in the place have been selling at from $25 per foot up to over $30 per foot, but after the lst of March owners there intend to hold out for at least 80 per foot. Mr. McHenry, of course, purchased as a speculation, expecting to realize at least $5 per foot extraon the ground in the next year or two. The property purchased y him, although the most convenient and nearest to the city, is the lowest ground in the place,and for this reason has not sold as 1 as the other lots. This sale closes out nearly all of Dr. Cabanne’s holdings out there, his remain- ing ground being nearly all located atthe ex- treme west end of the place. Cabanne place was the first suburban tract to be built up in this city. It had always been found impossi- ble to get people to go out so far from the city to live, but the Narrow-gauge and cable roads gave this place good accommodations and made its development possible. Dr. Cabanne spent $30,000 or more — 1 water mains, etc., and improving it before he got any return from his money, but, once started, the place boomed. J. E. Greffet sold to Mrs. Mary Hayes for James H. Brooks five acres of land about a quarter of a mile southwest of Forest Park for per acre. Charles H.
