VIRGINIA City, Nev., February 16.—News reached here early this morning that the snow sheds at Blue Canon collapsed late last night under the pressure of an enormous body of show. A snow plow and seven engines were ditched and it is said that the conductor, brakeman, roadmaster and one other employe are missing. The report was very meager and particulars have not yet been learned. A Four-Mile Bipckade. TOWLES, Cal., Feb 16.—The snow which began to fall Saturday, ceased yester- day. There isa bloc tween here and Blue Canon, extending a dis- tance of four miles. A Lady Drowned. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. OLNEY, III., February 16.—News has just reached here that on last Saturday evening a party, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Aus- paugh and another gentleman, near St. Marie, Ill., attempted to cross the Embarrass River in a skiff. When part of the way over the skiff was upset, and all were thrown out. Mr. Auspauch made a desperate effort to save his wife, but the current being swift she was drowned. Mr. Auspaugh, almost exhausted, managed to get to some willow trees and was rescued. The other gentieman swam to the shore. Mrs. Auspaugh’s body has not yet been found. She bad just arrived from Terre Haute, Ind., to take up her abode in a new home, where her husband has been working forsome time past. Hard on the Beach. NEw York, February 16.—The Guion Line steamer Wisconsin from Liverpool, for New York, is ashore on the outer bar, fifteen miles east of Fire Island. The stranded vessel was discovered at 8:15 o’clock this morning, when a fog that had prevailed during the night lifted. She is hard on the beach and a heavy sea is running. No communication has yet been had with the vessel from the beach, but her passengers and mails are stated to be safe. Death of the Hoffner Children. DETROIT, Mich,, February 16.—The three Hoffner children, who were burned in an ex- plosion in their father’s furniture store, yes- terday afternoon, died during the night. Hoffner is still alive, but his chances of re- covery are extremely doubtful. A Missing Father. This morning Police Officer Turley brought two children, one 2% years of age and the other 5 years old, to the Mayor’s office. They are the children of Louis Wirtz, who gave them to Mrs. Weber, rear of 2301 Clark avenue to be cared for by that lady. He had agreed to pay for the support of the children, but he recently disappeared and as Mrs. Weber fell sick she was unable to care for the children properly. Officer Tur- ley took the children to the Mayor, who was requested by Mrs. Weber to secure their ad- mission to some asylum. They were com- mitted to the House of Refuge, but will be in- dentured, as desired by Mrs. Weber, to an asylum. Municipal Notes. Delegate Collins declines his new position in the committee changes. Delegate Marriott was left out in the cold in the reorganization last night. The new committees of the House of Dele- gates have selected chairmen as follows: Rail- roads, Mr. Waters; Ways and Means, Mr. Schoenbeck; Markets, Wiebold; Election and Registration, Gartenbach; Engrossed and En- rolled Bills, Mr. Rolfes. The House Committee on Sanitary Affairs failed to get a quorum together yesterday and the milk inspectors bill and the cremato bill were accordingly laid over until next Fri- dav. The crematory advocates gain one point by this delay as Delegate Kaye, who opposed the bill most vigorously will not be on the Sanitary Committee next Friday, having been transferred toanew committee 7 by Speaker Fox.

The clerks have been working like wild men since Saturday, attempting to get out of the blockade, and will by 12 o’clock to-night have cleared every letter, paper and parcel out of the way. Said Larry Kiernan, Superintendent of Carriers, this morning: This was the largest money- making valentine season the Post-office ever had. Usually the comic valentines come in unseaied envelopes like circulars, but this year they were at least three-fourths sealed. The highest rule we have is that first-class matter must have precedence over all other kinds, and when sealed and bearing 2 cents in stamps a valentine is as much first-class mat- ter as an important letter. We have 2,000 pounds of cards advertising a brand of tobacco that was received into the office on Saturday night, but owing to the peculiar size of the cards 2 makes the work of distribution slow and the extraordinary run of valentines and other mail matter we have not been able to touch them until to-day. Our carriers have been going out with two pouches at atime, and since Saturday each watch in the offiee has worked from three to four hours over time distributing. Wewillkeep our men at work to-night until they clear all the circulars and other matter out of the office.’’ There was asmall blockade in the mailin division but the pressure has been relieve there by energetic work. There is a new feature in the valentine craz®,’’ suid Superintendent Hariow. ‘*Val- entines are sent in large numbers without suf- ficient stamps and the envelope is held here until the person addressed calls in response to a card we send him and pays the postage. Hefinds that instead of a letter he has recelved a valentine, and imagining it has come from one of his acquaintances, he places it in a new envelope and addresses it to that acquaintance without any stamps at all. A card then has to be sent the second person, because the envelope is sealed, and he finds out subsequently that some one is as humor- ous or as malicious as he. NEVER SAID A WORD. The Dog Who Objected to Mr. Krause Call- ing on the Ladies. Justice Sheehan to-day heard the case of Herman Krause against George Hoffmann in the matter ofaclaim for $250 to cover the ex- pense of a doctor bill, pairof trousers, a lacerated leg and a continued anxiety inflicted by a vicious dog ned main- tained and abetted by the defendant. The basis of the claim was laid on the afternoon of January 28, when Mr. Krause called at the Hoffmann premises, rear door, 1710 Madison street, to visit Mra, Wirkem, a cousin by mar- riage to plaintiff. Mrs. Wirkem lived up- stairs, and in descending from her place on the afternoon in question, Mr. Krause was met near the foot of the stairway by the dog, who disputed his right of egress. The breed of the dog Recording to the evidence submitted, is ‘*brown and large.“ He barked ferociously at Mr. Krause and assumed threatening at- titudes and expressions. Mr. Krause farnished a few demonstrations himself, and in the melee the dog inflicted three bites on the gentleman’s shin, Dear the ankle, and twisted one leg of his trousers on the front elevation. The owner of the dog called to the bitee not to kick him. He then called the dog away and locked him in the stable. Some of the ladies who lived in the same house testified that the dog on other occasions hadjumped upon them and had torn their clothing. It also appeared that the dog had quarantined the back yard against the letter and newspaper carriers, having, perhaps, some inborn opposition to the dissemination of news. Frank Sampe, a little boy who lived next door, had known the dog from its puppyhood, and testified to its disposition. He had seen ve mentioned. Bot were ‘‘hollering according to Frank, never sald a word. The silence onthe dog’s part was considered decidediy suspicious by the attorneys. The plaintiff exhibited his wounds, three sores onhis leg which were still under the surgical attention of Dr. Vogt. After some other testimony bearing upon the dog’s character the Court took the ques- tion under advisement until to-morrow. THE BOWMAN DIVORCE SUIT. Decree of Divorce Granted by the St. Louis Court, June 24. ‘ In the telegraphic report of the proceedings before Judge Tuley in Chicago by Ida M. Bow- man against Frank J. Bowman, the attorney, for alimony pending divorce proccedings yesterday, affidavits were filed for plaintiff and deflendant which were contra- dictory as to the date of Bow- man’s divorce decreehere. Mrs. Ida M. Bow- man, in her affidavit, alleged that the decree of divorce was granted by the 8t. Louis Circuit Court on June 2 of last year and that they were married under the common law without ceremony on June 27. The affidavit for the defendant, Frank J. Bowman, alleged the decree of divorce was not granted here until June 28. This discrepancy is likely to figure as an important factor in the proceedings. A reference to the records of the Circuit Court here shows thatthe decree of divorce against Bowman was granted on June 24, as stated by the plaintiff,and that the entry on June 28 was simply a modification as to alimony, which was fixed at the gross sum of $30,000. Made Other Arrarsgements. Justice J. J. Spaulding to-day rendered a verdict of $10 in favor of Mrs. O. M. J. Krauss, professional nurse who was suing for that amount due her from Mr. Lawrence Garvey, a commission merchant doing business at Main and Walnut streets. Mrs, Krauss alleged that on the lith of November she was engaged to procusmoually attend Mrs. Garvey, who did not then require her services, but demanded that plaintiff should wait subject to ber call. Piaintiff did wait ten days, refusing other employment in the meantime. On the 26th Mr. Garvey nott- fied her that she would not be needed, other arrangements having been made. She was paid $10, after rendering a bill for $20. An ap- peal was taken from the justice’s decision. Violating the Insurance Laws, There were four cases of violating the in- surance law docketed for trial in the Court of Criminal Correction this morning. Two were against Harry ©. Carroll, and the other two against W. D. Parrish. The violation of the law consisted in placing insurance by ents in @ompanies not autborized to do. business in this State. In one case in which Carroll was charged with insuring J. Gindra & Bro. in the Fargo Insurance Com- any he was convicted and fined $15 and costs. *arrish was convicted for insuring the same firm inthe same company. The other cases ainst them were dismissed at costs, Judge oonan stating that he had no doubt but it was only a mistake on the part of the agent. The cases will be appealed. . She Did What She Said.

SUBMERGED. A Large Portion of South Chicago Under Water—Disasters at Lyons.

The Mallory Line Officials Refuse to Recog- nize Knights of Labor Delegates—Fif- teen Hundred District Messengers in New izing an Old Assembly—Labor News. New Tonk, February 16.—Master Workman Quinn of District Assembly No. 49, Knights of Labor, calied at the Mallory Line pier to-day and told Mr. Charles Mallory that he came to settle the labor trouble on that pier. Mr. Mallory sad: We have not got any trouble with our men and I know you never worked on this pler, and, therefore, Ihave no know!l- edge of you.’’ Mr. Mallory walked away and an officer escorted 49’s representative outside the gate. Some of the old hands are back at work on Mallory’s dock, and the steamers are leaving on time. There is still some trouble to keep freight from accumulating on the Morgan line dock, as the Italians have all been disposed of and the strikers have not been taken back. The company has offered the strikers employ- ment at 25 cents an hour for day work and 35 cents for night work, but the men_refused to accept any other rates but 40 and 60 cents, as before the strike. The busy season just commencing on the piers of the deep sda go- ing vessels and this leads to the conclusion thatin avery short time most of the strikers will get work. Discontented Messenger Boys. New Tonk, February 16.—The 1,500 mes- senger boys employed by the American Dis- trict Telegraph Company are indignant at their manager, W. F. Sanford, because of a circular he sent heey A various homes. It was addressed: Dear Parents and Guard- jans,’’ and said: ‘‘We send notice that we are well informed from reliable sources that your son is in danger of falling into the hands of agents who are trying to bind together thé honest work- ing boys of this city and lead them to commit acts against the laws of police, good order and honest industry. We also beg to ask you to be on the watch and advise him to keep out of bad company, and continue inthe esteem of his employer asa good, law abiding ser- vant of the company.’ The circular is aimed at a Knight of Labor Association that the boys have been endeavor ing to organize inthe various district offices for some time past. Some of the boys were in- terviewed and one said: We have or- ganized ourselves because we can’t get our grievances righted any other way. We have petitioned without avail. We want to have ten hours work a day and pay atthe uniform rate of two cents a message. As for keeping bad company the boys say their business compels them to go to all sorts of disreputable places with messages under penalty of dis- missai if they refuse. . Reorganizing an Old Assembly. CHICAGO, II., February 16.—A large number of Knights of Labor gathered last night at 104 East Randolph street to participate in the ceremony of reorganizing Local Assembly No. 400. It was a revival of the pioneer as- sembly ofthe order in the West. It was or- ganized in 1877 by Richard Griffiths, now Gen- eral Worthy Foreman of the Order. The as- sembly grew 80 large eventually that a number of other as- semblies were founded in different parts of the city and as these and others grew, No. 400 was gradually deserted by its members for assemblies whose headquarters were more conveniently located. The charter was always held here, however. An old member, referring to the reorganization, said: ‘*There are Knights who have become tired of the ex- tremists. The young and radical are crowd- ing out the conservatives from the assemblies. They will all find a frieudly refuge in old 400. We want to conduct 400 on strictly Knights of Labor principles. No socialism, no politics, no pare quarrels will enter our as sembly.’’ Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers. PITTSBURG, Pa., February 16.—The officials of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers are already hard at work col- lecting data on which to form a basis for their next scale of wages. The officers of the association are of the opinion that manufacturers are doing business at prices higher than the card rate. If they cannot prove this, they still mean to demand a higher basis for the next scale than exists at present. It is claimed that if a higher basis is formed the manufacturers will have less inducement to keep the prices down. The Industrial Union.

Dalton, a young men well-connected and well-known in local society, was sitting in the jobby of the — d Hotel in this city,enjoy- ingacigar. Suddenly Russell Godwin, a man ofhisownage and equally well-known, en- tered the vestibule, glanced swiftly about him, saw Dalton, paused a moment, and then, without a change of expression, without a word or a sign of his purpose beyond the deathly pallor of his face and the grim deter- mination setupon the lines of his livid lips, quietly ap roached, stood in front of Daltun god regarded him one brief instant, follow- ing this by raising a revolver and shooting him deliberately, once, twice, thrice. Bending his work had been thoroughly done Godwin replaced the revolver in his pocket and delivered himself calmly to the authorities. This was the tragedy the climax of the romance. The chapters 1 this have just been given in the lal. ANNIE M. POLK, wife of John J. Polk of this city and sister of Russell Godwin, is young, handsome and popular. She was married in April, 1881. Nat: trally vivacious, and enjoying the esteem of ber friends and the implicit confidence of her bosband, she went as much in s0- cety and received visitors as often mer her marriage as before. In January. 1884, she was introduced to Dalton by ber mother. Thomas Dalton was a reckless yung man, unscrupulous in regard to women and careless in speaking of them. From the moment he met Mrs. Polk he seemed to have been fascinated by ber, and begana series of attentions, which at first, seemingly, were those of a respectful admirer and friend, caused her no displeasure, and seemed un- worthy serious consideration. She grew to like him, as she liked a dozen other friends of saw him when he freely with bim, and gaw nothing in his manner but such esteem and courtesy as any man might freely offerandany woman freely receive. As time went by, Lcowever, his seeming friendship by slow degrees took a deeper form. His visits became more frequent, his attentions were marked by a devotion more serious and sen- timental. Suddenly he feli lll, ynd fora time his life was in danger. Her sympathies were enlisted, and as be had declared that his thouchts were always with her and of her, she felt more than kindly tewards him. Notes passed between them during als con- valescence, and on one occasion ehe prepared some delicacies for him and shnt them by a servant. At this time they were neighbors, he — with his aunt, Mrs. Ann E. Tytus, andshe with her father, John R. Godwin. The parior windows in the respective houses were not more tnan twelve feet away, and the two often conversed across the space, their conversations being on trivial subjects and never in a sentimental strain. But soon after his recovery affairs took A MORE SERIOUS TURN and it is evident from testimony given during the trial and from Mrs. Polk’s own statement on the witness stand, that Dalton’s devotion bad flattered and pleased her more than perhaps she would have deen Willing to acknowledge to berself, aud so, Fieldin his importuni- to Nos, apparentiyv without reflection or, indeed, actual disioyalty to her husband, she met Dal - ton almost daily on the street and in the par- ior of the office at which he was employed. It Was 2simple question of vanity—that which is response for more unfortunste slips of women into guilty seeming, while really inno- tL tian any cause known to nature. Yet therecamea warning. Mr. Polk was conscious of Daiton’s devotion and, though not doubt- ing the fidelity of his wife, detected beneath thecloak of Dalton’s courtesies the passion Which was his cue, and knowing that fWoubie was inevitable if the attentions continued, spoke to her upon the sidject kindly and requested that she treat te young man with more reserve. Mrs. Polk’s view of this is best given in the follow. ing excerpt from | HER TESTIMONY in the trial on Wednesday: “Taere never was any impure or unchaste relation between Mr. Dalton and myself. In the early part of our acquaintance he was Dieaeant, always ready to wait upon me and ohlig eng in hisconduct. There was nothing Offensive or rude or improper tnat he said or did in my presence. My husband did not agree with me about Mr. Dalton’s attentions towards me. I told him I saw nothin ‘ and helieved he was whoily innocent bis attentions, but he disagreed with me and Said he knew men better than I did.

The latter became very much excited and begged to be allowed to in- terview Dalton, Dut Col. Godwin refused, and decided to see the blackmailer himself. Be- fore he could see Dalton again, however, he received a telegram from Polk, asking him to meet him at the Little Rock depot ready to xo to Monteagh, where Mrs. Polk and her mother were staying. Atthe depot Mr. Polk showed him an anonymous letter be had received the day before, accusing his wife of improper con- duct at Monteagh. It proved to bein Dalton's handwriting, aud so both concluded to remain aud investigate the matter. BLACKMAILED. Col. Godwin, his son Russell, Mr. Polk, Dr. Saunders and Thomas Turley conferred on the following day, and the Colonel was ad- vised to mark a $100 bill and allow Dalton to blackmail him out ot it. While they were dis- cussing this the following note was handed Col. Godwin: Mr. J. R. Godin. DEAR Sin- lou did not meet me as you said at 10 o'clock yesterday. I wish you would do what you want, it does not make much differ- ence with me. I got a letter yesterday. Yours respectfully, T. J. DALTON. This was read by all present. Both Russell Godwin dnd Mr. Polk were wild with anger, but Col. Godwin, nerving himself, took a marked $100 vill and went to Dalton’s room, forbidding his son and son-in-law accompany- ing him, and promising his friends to do nothing violent orrash. The letter Dalton bad to show was a fac-simile of that received written by himeeif. When asked for the other letters he said he had no more, and arrest for blackmail followed. Upon ar- rest Dalton confessed to having written the and allowed to leave town. would remain in exile. His fare was paid from the balance of the $100 which had been hours. This was on July 19. Dalton went to Mariana, Ark., and there renewed HIS COWARDLY ASSAULTS, circulating the vilest of slauders about Mrs. Polk and her father by word of mouth and by letters. Among these stories was a statement that Mrs. Polk was in love with him and pur- sued him with entreaties: that she came to him one night with . 000 and begged him to elo with her;that Col. Godwin had given Polk $10,000 to continue to live with his wife. These reached the ears of Col. Godwin and his son and Mr. Polk, and kept alive their troubles. About the ist of December there came a strange man to Mrs. Polk’s house, who de- livered her a letter from Daiton, which he said had come from Chicago. The letter demanded money. She tore it up and declined to answer it. This affected Russell terribly, and he ad- vised his father to leave Memphis with his family. Afew days later came the news that Dalton was in town ani the tragedy followed. THE TRIAL has been the sensation of all this part of the coun and in some respects one of the most remarkable in the annals of criminal juris- prudence. The testimony introduced by the prosecution was of such a character as to cer- tainly convict Mrs. Folk of undue intimacy with the dead man, but the defense claims and sets up strong proof that the letters upon which this is based, letters purporting to have been written by her to Dalton, are forgeries. On the other hand, experts pronounce them genuine. Here is one which may serve as an — It was declared a forgery by Mrs. Olk: MENKEN BROS., MEMPHIS, Tenn., } July, 21, 1886.

The expression is just like I look all the time now, a far- away, longing iook for my boy. I feel so much better since got your letter.

The testimony of witnesses was equally con- flicting. A most dramatic feature in the case was e appearance on the stand of a blind man, a teacher of music, who taught Dalton on the guitar and banjo. Hetestified that Dalton twice brought with him a lady, whom he introduced as Miss Julia Carrier, She seemed to be anxious to keep the door closed, but beyond this he noticed nothing peculiar in her or in his conduct, He thought, however, they acted as though fond of each other. Miss Tillie Monttverdi, a clerk at Menken’s store, testified that Mrs.P ik came there often and would use the telephone, after which Dalton would enter and the two would con- verse together in the ladies parior for an hour or more. Mrs. Henrietta Redford testified that on one occasion she saw Dalton go with Mrs. Polk in- to Mr. Whitelaw’s house, and on another saw them her house and Dalton was a banjo. The last point was made to show that Mrs. Folk and Miss Julia Carrier’’ were one and the same. The defense, however, proved that Mrs. Bedford could not have seen ton and Mrs. Polk go into Mr. Whitelaw’s house from the windows from which she declared she was observing. In fact, the evidence has been strong on the part of the prosecution and equally strong on the part of the defense, and Mrs. Polk’s name has been in the balance between guilt and in- nocence the entire time. Her father, her hus- band and her friends have been unswerving from first to last in their belief in her. “Califernia Excursion, February 23.” **A grand Pullman excursion will leave St. Louis Union Depot at 9:10 a. m., on the This is the Great Southern popular winter line Only Tickets good for six City ticket office 102 North Feurth MURDERED AN INTRUDER. read’s Benefit—Texas Topics.

Analysis of the German Army—The Peace Footing 425,000 Men, the War Footing 2,762,000 Men—Thorough Organization and Equipment—General Adoption of the German Magazine Gun. After an interval of sixteen years France and Germany are again facing each other and showing their teeth, and unless some good Providence intervenes, the grim spectre of war may ere long overcloud the European Continent. Even the most sanguine agree that the forthcoming struggle must surpass in intensity and inthe extent of carnage and de- vastation any foreign war of the present cen- tury. The opposing armies are both so great in numbers and so perfectly organized that nothing short of complete annihilation will cause the other to give way, and annihilation means the sacrifice ofa million human lives. Letus now throwacursory glance at these huge engines of war, beginning in the present paper with the German army, which will doubtless be the first to move after a formal declaration has been made. N / e ö e . > 3 . * * Crown Prince of Germany. The German army is recruited in accordance with the terms of the law of May 6, 1880, which provides that all German subjects shall be lia- ble to do military duty between the ages of 17 and 42. Were this law carried out to the letter it would place nearly eight million men under arms and would bankrupt the National Treas- ury. So by aseries of military regulations the army on a peace-footing has been placed at a little over 425,000 men, while in time of war 2,762,000trained soldiers can be sent into the field. This, of course, includes every branch of the service, the reserve, the Landwehr, the Landsturm, etc. The entire force in war time is under the di- rect command of the Emperor of Germany. Still the different minor States preserve a certain amount of individuality which is vis- bie in more ways than one, especially in times of peace. Thus the King of Bavaria stands practically atthe head of his own forces; Bavaria has her own Minister of War and can dispose of the military funds appro- priated to her by the Reichstag independent- ty of the empire. Moreover, the Bavarian army bas stuck to the ante-belium national uniform—light blue cloth with green trimmings. Saxony and Wurtem- berg and the Duchy of Brunswick enjoy similar privileges to Bavaria with the excep- tion that their military budgetis reguiated in detail by the Reichstag. Marshal Pelissier once said thatthe French soldier carried the baton of Marshal of France in his haversack. It wouid be difficult to apply the same state- ment to the German. Promotion in Emperor William’s army isa long and tedious mat- ter, and no private can even aspire to the rank ofa corporal without accomplishing his three By years’ service—a fact nien necessitates his \Y re-enlisting. There are five grades of non-com- missioned officers, viz. : Unterofiizier, who per- King Albert of Sarony-forms a corporal’s duties; sergeant, or lance - sergeant; vice-feldwebel, or color-sergeant; feid- webel or sergeant-major, and lastly, porte - epee - faenrich, or ensign. The latter officer, though also non-commissioned, distinguishes himself from the rest in so far that he has passed a special examination, and that by going through acourse at one of the nine war academies of the empire, followed by another successful examination, can be romoted to the grade of second Lieutenant. The other non-commissioned officers on the other band seldom rise above the rank of feldwebel. 7 The commissioned officers are divided into six grades as follows: Second Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant- Colonel and Colonel. No definite laws exist on the subject of pro- motion, which depends principally on the will of the Emperor. Still with duration of serv- present the Crown “Prince called Feldzeugmeister, an army.

The Since 1882 Gen. von ty of asesist- remain members uartermaster. 2 Hen, Vo- alkenstein, in Prussia’s three last i tv i ofthe German army is subordinated to the idea of utility and com- fort. The Prussian foot soldier, the dragoon. the artillerist and the U are are all clad in uniforms of dark hue, in most cases blue tunics with black trou- sers, nearly impercep- tible colors in a dis- tance. The hussars and cuirassiers, it is true, are dressed in brighter tints, that is red and white respectively, but they form but a small proportion of the eav- alry brancn. The legen- pickel-haube, or spiked heimet, stili re- mains the most marked and distinctive feature of the ssian sol- UVhian. dier’s accoutrements. It has been greatty reduced in weicht, how- ever, by the use o —.— metal plating and thinner leather. Talking about uniforms nicknames exist in the Regiment of the most culiar the — man Thus d Guards are called Hopfenstangen, or hop- he First Gluhwuermer, or firebugs, because their tunics are both green and scarlet, and the Pioneers Regenwuermer, Orearthworms. This habit of nicknaming applies not alone to the uniforms, but also to the different branches of the service, for we find the Imperial Guard as a whole dubbed Hammeln, or ewes; the cayalry Sandhasen, or sand hares; the soldiers ofthe line Feldralzen, or field rats; the white uniformed cuirassiers Mehise@ck, or flour bags, and the artilleriste Kubsoldaten, or cow soidiers—why the latter name the victims themselves can probably never expiain. In the matter of arming, the Prussian army stands foremost in Europe to-day, as it has stood for years. The artillery, which is of the Krupp pattern and manufacture, has per- haps undergone little change orimprovement since 1870, Dut in small arms the Germans have lately made enormous strides. The Militaer- Zeitung fur die Keserve und Landwher Offiziere des Deutechen Heeres of last December, con- tained a detailed ac- count of a new magca- zine gun that had just been introduced into the German army, from which the following facts are gleaned: Field Artillery. The gun goes by the name M. 71 | &, meaning that it is nothing more than the old Mauser rifle introduced in 1871 and sub- jected in 1884 to an alteration which converted itintoa magazine gun. The first the public knew of this change was not earlier than Au- gust of last year, when five German army corps stationed on the western frontier were suddenly armed with the improved weapon, and it was learned for the first time that the Government had been working on the project for nearly two years. Since then the whole German army has been supplied with maga. zine guns, and is at preseut proficient in their use. In appearance tne German magazine gun greatly resembies the Winchester, and indeed it is worked on the same principle although it will take but ten cartridges in @ time instead of six- teen. The magazine con- sists of along barrel run- ning parallel with the barrel of the gun. A spiral spring forces the cartridges forward, and another spring called a feeder or spoon forces them one after the other into the firing chamber and from there tothe bore. The magazine holds eight cartridges, the chamber one and the bore another. The empty cartridge is eject- ed by another spring immediately after fir- ing. The manipulation of the new gun is Infantry. claimed to be very sim- ple, so much so that the troops accustomed to the old pattern learned to handle it easily after a few hours’ practice, and as reloading can be easily gotten through with within twenty seconds the terrible ravages this arm is destined to commit must be patent to every one. Many a hero of the last three wars has gone over to the majority during the past decade, but some good men still remain to lead Ger- man's cohorts into the fieid. Field Marshal Moltke, with his four-score years weighing heavily on his shoulders, would do littie be- yond watching operations fromthe ones of the general et but the Crown Prince, a clever tactician and cool head, would never be found wanting. Around him are grouped a galaxy of military talent, of which even the yreat Napoleon might have felt proud. The reigning Princes of the minor states, beginning with the King of Sax- ony and ending with the Grand Duke of Baden have all hela important commands in previous wars and to them may be added the veteran but active Werder, the success{ul be- siever of Strassburg and conqguerer of Bourbaki; the cautious but determined Blu- menthal, Chiet of the Fourth Army Corps; Von Kummer, Von Beyer, Von Raven, Von Bose, Von Kirchbach, Von Mutius and a host of others. With the consciousness that such tried warriors hold the destiny of the Father- land in their hands, little the wonder that the modern German meets all talk of danger from beyond the Lorraine frontier with the rousing refrain, Liebst Vaterland. magst ruhig sein Fest steht und treu die Wacht am Rhein.

By Telegraph to the Post-DisPatcn. NEw Tonk, February 16.—Mr. Marshall P. Wilder’s face is his fortune. He has a mouth which, in its gentler moments, can make two bites ofa cherry, but which, at will, can show a gloomy abyss,more profound than the caverns of Luray. Mr. Wilder’s eyes are deep setand small, but they can roll up or down or inward; they can affect strabismus or diverge outwardly like those of acrab or re- treat altogether from view and be consplicu- ous only by their absence. Add to these a nose which is gifted with extraordinary pow- ers of expansion, and ears which can beat time to any given tune at their owner's command, and it can readily be seen that Mr. Wilder has been specially gifted by nature for facial expression. A mind-reading seance was given atthe Press Club yesterday after- noon, and Mr. Wilder undertook to shows large gathering of journalists that Mr. Wash- ington Irving Bishop does not enjoy a monop- oly. Asuggestion was made that he should be blindfolded, but while he expressed an en- tire willingness to submit, he said it really made no difference, as either he or Bishop could see beneaththe handkerchief. An ob- ject was thought of while Mr. Wilder was out ot the room. He returned, took the profound thinker by the hand, RACED HIM SEVERAL TIMES up and down the room, and finally laid hands upon a silk umbrella with a siiver handle, which was acknowledged to be the object. After the applause had ceased Mr. Wilder called attention to the fact that the gentleman had kept what he called bis mind fixed on the best umbrellain the room and one, too, which did not belong to him. As a second test, the ob- ject thought of was agharm hanging from the watch chain of a spectator. It was found without trouble. Other tests were given of similar nature and only with one subject did he fail. He then gave a brief lecture on his experiments and stated that they were not mind reading atall, but simply the blind fol- — of muscular impulses given by his sub- ect. AN INIMITABLE ENTERTAINMENT. Mr. Wilder ——— this exhibition of his supernatural powers with one of his inimi- table parior entertainments, giving imitations of the telephone, including the frying sound while ‘‘Central’’ was making connections, and bits of dislozue illustrated by his wonder- ful face in such away that Wilder completely disappeared, and the character he portrayed stood alone. He concluded his entertainment by giving an original play in three acts, which merits serious consideration by our managers. AN ORIGINAL PLAY.

When he felt right well, Secretary CHANDLER could spend a million dollars repairing the boil- ers of the Tennessee, and leave a great deal of room for further appropriations. It is useless for a Democratic administra- Hon to think of beating the record - of its predecessors in spending money. — ALTHOUGH the interstate commercelaw does not apply to transportation within State linea, one of its first-fruits is a ten- dency on the part of the railroads to abolish the free-pass system altogether. It seems to be doomed, whether abolished by State legislation or not. Its-abolition will not only stop a great Grain upon the resources of railroads, but it will relieve those passengers who pay their way of the consciousness that they are helping to pay for the transportation of dead-henads every time they buy a railroad ticket. unn ee Amone@the many popular subscriptions for purposes of charity or patriotism to which the PostDisratcu has lent its sup- port, not one has been a failure, and the subscriptions for the victims of the Arnot fire is one which appeals to a deep and e@arnestsentiment. The amount already received is an indication of the publicfeel- ing, and is rapidly growing. All con- tributions sent through the Post-D1s- PATCH will be properly acknowledged and applied aécording to the wishes of the Tue Parcher free-pass bill fell-two-votes dort of enough to pass the Missouri Sen- ate yesterday, three of its friends being @bsent; but they are confident that it will ' pass. The State Constitution forbids only the granting of free passes to members of the Legislature, judge and officers of the State and of tts municipalities, but this bill ges as far as the Pennsylvania Consti- tution and prohibits the issue of free N 3 8. passes to anybody except the officers and of the railroads. The theory of its supporters is that railroad rates are so liquor law in communities opposed to it. With a smaller population than Missouri, Kansas has taken out 126 more United States licenses than have been issued in Missouri. The number issued Kansas Wealers in the last eight months ex- ceeded 2,500. With more than 3,000 li- censed liquor-sellers, in spite of her prohibitory laws, Kansas does not derive a cent of revenue from them, while Mis- souri drawsa revenue of $1,832,307 from the liquor traffic. These factsshow that Kansas prohibition deprives the State of a revenue from the liquor traffic without prohibiting the liquor traffic, and in order to enforce such prohibition it is now admitted that the enforcement of the law must be entrusted to a new standing army of policemen acting under a central authority, independent of the local authorities. This shows how such legislation leads us away from the simple forms of popular self-government, and in the direction of such government as has so long cursed Ireland. — — — — THE MILITIA BILL. The New York Times is off“ in its in- ference that the militia bill was defeated in the Missouri Legislature by the influ- ence of ‘‘the labor vote.’’ It was the country vote that did it. There are no labor troubles in the rural districts of Mis- souri. They are so free from disturbance of any kind, and the inhabitants thereof find in the power of the Sheriff so satisfactory a protection, and are so jealous of any kind of military interference in civil affairs, that instead of appreciating the utility of a well regu- lated militia, they look upon every regi- ment as a source of danger and a de- moralizing departure from the simplicity of democratic government. They have an idea that cities want militia mainly for purposes of parade, and that, even if the peculiar dangers from riots in cities do justify the maintenance of a volunteer militia, it is for city benefit only and should therefore be paid for by the cities only. The experience of this State in the strikes of 1885 and 1886 tended to confirm thiserroneous view. The calling out of the militia in 188 was so premature that the men did not reach the scene of the alleged disturbance at Sedalia, and peace was maintained without their interven- tion. In 1886 the strike troubles were set- tled much more smoothly and promptly without the aid of militia in Missouri than with the aid of militia in any other State. Nevertheless the defeat of the militia bill and the failure of the Legislature to pay the men who were called out by the Governor in 1885 are to be regretted, and show that publie sentiment in this State requires education on this subject. But not more so than the sentiment of the Union at large. If Congress were thoroughly imbued with the doctrines of THOMAS JEFFERSON, and had the appreciation which he and the fram- ers of our Federal Constitution had of well-regulated militia as the security of a free State,” the national appropria- tion for militia purposes would now be in proportion to the appropriation of JEr- FERSON’S time. If that appropriation were increased in proportion to the increase of our wealth and population, it would now be $2,500,000 a year instead of $400,000, —ññññ — -e TERMINAL FACILITIES. A resolution in the Municipal Assembly last night calls attention to the prevalent ignorance of the extent of the terminal facilities at present possessed by St. Louis. It istrue that St. Louis has fairly good terminal facilities, but it is also true that there is vast room for improvement. The present bridge management has made East St. Louis the terminus for Eastern freight. Its charges for transfer are high. Delays in transferring are fre- quent. Goods which are switched out to Twentieth street are nearly as far from their destination as when they were in Hast St. Louis, and the yard room is ab- surdly insufficient. The Union Depot grounds are contracted und crowded; the Poplar street track as a railroad connection is a survival of bar- barism, and a direct connection between the Iron Mountain system and the Mill Creek valley is badly needed. When the money is raised for the Mer- chants’ bridge we shall see the stimulus of a new life imparted to the question of terminal facilities, and St. Louis will be able to count securely on an advantage she has never yet enjoyed in the posses- large and growing commerce. — za — THE TREASURY. Mr. MANNING goes out of the Treasury ‘with the sincere regret of the President and with a personal respect and esteem from the country at large which will be of the greatest value to him in the new bank of which be is to be president. There is no one who questions that Mr. MAN NN is a perfectly wpright and honest man, personally, financially and politically. He isa man of fair ability and winning ways, and in his successful career illus- trates many of those traits of characte: which America delights to honor. But as Secretary of the Treasury Mr. MANNING has laid himself open to the re- proach of disregarding the plain instruo- tions of laws which he was sworn to carry out. His unwillingness to sign the requis- ite calis for bonds was bad enough in itself, but in an official who had aspira- tions towards the presidency of a national bank it was inexcusable, and his more re- cent action in the cancelling of small bills — _ ight, in @ different political situation, impeachment. have pastly lead to an tet 5 e A ae P 5 , 15 . 4 A e eee atthe Par A trey i 1 N are am „ 7 . ie 4 Peat yp 22 8 8 n : oe Pap oe.” U 4 a a 8 8 . sion of adequate means for handling her . Mr. Mnxtmo's otherwise good character and ability should have made bis official career a detriment to the interests en- trusted to him. HERR KRrr is the largest income-tax- payer in the German Empire. Herr Knorr's fortune has been harvested from dattleflelds drenched with human blood. His business prosperity depends upon the continued embodiment of some 14, 000, 00 of able-bodied young men in standing armies. It has grown out of the bloody pastimes of Europe's military mon- archies, Whose game is Empire and whose stakes are thrones, ! Whose table earth, whose dice are human bones. It follows asa matter of course that Herr Knorr is opposed to any inter- ference of the people’s representatives with army affairs, and that he has issued a stirring appeal to his 20,000 employes to vote for the septennate bill. Those who do not will probably be among the first soldiers sent to the front, and being aware of the alternative they will freely vote as their master directs. ' n „ Tue assured failure of the Blair Educa- tional bill will bring a sense of relief to that public sentiment which had begun to look with terror on the prominence given to money-spending schemes during the present session of Congress. If it can be accepted as an evidence that Congress is inclined to listen to public opinion it will be all the more welcome as a relief from the added fear that the next session would be largely occupied with struggles against equally weak and foolish schemes of spending money for the sake of spendiag money. — —— n an . ee — Le This is Perfectly Awful. From the Chicago News. Travelers returning from Europe have & great deal to say about the boorishness and bad form of our Minister to Copenhagen, Ras- mus Anderson of Wisconsin. ‘‘Mr. Ander- son,’’ said a naval officer just returned, ‘‘not only eats with his knife and picks his teeth at the table, but he blows his nose on his napkin and does other disgusting things. He treads on the trains of the ladies in society with mud- dy boots, and insists upon shaking hands with the Queen every time he meets her. When some one told him it was bad manners to ex- tend his hand toalady who did not extend hers first, and particularily to the Queen, with whom nobody isinthe habit of shaking hands, Mr. Anderson replied that he knew court ti quette as well as any one, but he had been ac- customed to shake hands with his friends when he met them, and proposed to keep up the practice when it suited him, whether he was among queens or peasants. The Minister is a Scandinavian from alow family, apd the general opinion is that he wants to show the nobles that a Scandinavian peasant with a patent to American citizenship is as good as they. A Pretty Story from Bolivia. From the Detroit Tribune. Speaking of money reminds me of the funny banking system they havein Bolivia. Coun- terfeit money is as current as good money and passes just as well. At the hotel n La Paz I could hear the workings of a counterfeit press in the room nextmyown. A former Ameri- can Consul in one of the Bolivian cities sold his press to my English companion. Another of our diplomatic corps in Bolivia had 100 kegs of nails sent him from New York. There were a few nails laid in the tops and bottoms of the kegs, but the main contents were counterfeit silver pieces. The Consul was not at home when the kegs, arrived ut his warehouse. A brother-in-law of President Dosa of the Bo- livian Republic wanted some nails about this time and the Consul’s Secretary sold him a dozen kegs. An exposure was prevented by the Consul going halves with the brother-in- law on the counterfeit money. Women Out West. From the Des Moines Mail. There is no place in the world where woman rises to emergencies of trust and responsibill- ty more efficiently or frequentiy than in onr broad Western country. One of our business men was asked recently: ‘‘Whydo you employ Miss —— for your book-keeper? Can you get her services for less than you would have to pay aman?’’ No, said he, I chose her be- cause I know I can depend upon her to return each morning refreshed and ready for busi- ness, while a man in the same position is more than likely to spend his eyenings far into the night in dissipation that wholly unfits him for the morrow’s duties.“ MEN OF MARK.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. NEW YORK, February 16.—The WORLD says: It there are old soldiers in danger of becom- ing paupers, let us build more national homes —all that are necessary—and take care of them tenderly during their declining years. We will sustain the liberal provisions of this nature. But let us not pauperize the pension list by offering inducement to all the survivors of the war to swear that they are unable to earn that indefinite quantity, ‘the support.’ Let us not degrade the crippled veterans, who were wounded in battling bravely for theircountry, by placing above them on the roll of honor, re- cipients of ‘outdoor relief.’ The President’s veto was the sturdiest right act that he has performed since his induction into office. He is sustained by the press and by public opin- ion. He should be sustained by Congress. THB SUR. The Sun says: Iwo mugwumps appointed to office in Michigan and Wisconsin instead of Democrats, and in spite of Democrats, show that the Hon. Grover Cleveland is still suffer- ing from the old malady which has so effect- ively incapacitated him thus far from being a sound and healthy Democratic President—he has the big head. Itis a queer disease. When a man has it he may be able to manage his own personal business successfully, but he never can efficiently, disinterestedly and faithfully administer the affairs that have been intrusted to him by a political party.. He can- not be a good agent orrepresentative. That’s what's the matter with Cleveland.“ THE TIMES. The Times says: It is not known exactly what influences defeated the bill to reimburse the two regiments of Missouri militia who were enguged for ten days in maintaining or- der at Sedalia during the Southwestern Rail- road strike, butit isonly too probable that the ‘labor vote’ had much to do with it. The omcers of the regiment and the Inspector General of the State have promptly resigned, and they doubtless had good reasonsfor do- ing so. It is a bad sign for Missouri that its Legislature cannot do justiceto men whose services were as important asthose of any politician the State has et produced.“ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: The passage of the inter- state commerce bill was a step toward a pater- nal policy of government in Federal affairs.

PEARFUI- SUFFERING FROM SEVERE COLD AND SNOW IN MONTANA. ‘The Distress Among the Inhabitants—Set- tlers and Indians Starving and Freezing— Heavy Falls of Snow—Cattle Frozen and Lost Under the Earth’s White Mantle— Bearcity of Fuel—Furniture, Outhouses and Fences for Warmth. fort Kroou, Mont., February 13.—The win- ter of 1886-87 will long be remembered through- out the Northwest for the extreme severity of the temperature and the unusual depth of snow. Old-timers always referred to former years as ‘‘high-water marks, but this year eclipses all previous records. The severe weather started in soon after the holidays. From January 6to ll the degree of cold was something frightful. Mercury thermome- ters were often congealed and spirit ther- mometers were kept busy jumping from 40 to 60 below zero. Half a dozen times has the 60 notch been touched, and once this season 62% below zero has been scored on the Saskatchewan plains. But the authorities in weather in this country are the Indians. The oldest members of the Crow tribe say there have been few such winters as the present since they settled in the Yellow- stone Valley. Once, about thirty years ago, there was a terribie winter. The snow lay six feet deep in the Yellowstone Valley, and the Indians congregated about the old trading-post snow-bound fortwo moons. The Crows were then wealtby and owned countless ponies, of which thousands were smothered in the drifts. This year the snowfall is un- precedented. In some localities it is anywhere from ten to fifty feet deep. On the level, throughout the National Park and elsewhere, it is from eight to twelve feet deep, and on the dead-level prairie from eighteen to forty inches. Of course, such a heavy fail must bring more or less suffering and death. EXTRAORDINARY SNOWFLAKES. Curious phenomena sometimes attend a snowfall. Near Matt Coleman’s ranch, Janu- ary 28, the ffkkes were tremendous in size. Some were larger than milk pans. Some flakes measured fifteen inches square and eight inches thick. For miles the ground was covered with such bunches and they made a remarkable spectacie while falling. A mall carrier was caught in the same storm and verifies it. The Northern Pacific double-header snow-ploughs are Still bucking drifts east of here all the way from six to forty feet deep. So far the casualties to human life in Montana have been slight, but among the stock, particularly cattle and sheep, it is feared the mortality has been heavy. The broken country is better than the open prairie in case of cold and snow, hence the casualties to human beings and animais cannot be so heavy hereabouts as on the plains of Dakota Already this winter a number of deaths from cold have occurred in Dakota. Not long since Charies Schroeder, living near Valley City, started from his house for one 600 feet distant. A blizzard was blowing and the thermometer registered 35 below. Not reaching home, his family and neighbors turned out with lanterns, followed his tracks in thesnow allnight and found where he had lain down in astraw-stack and then gone on. The next day the body was found tweive miles away on the prairie, lying on its face, where he had fallen trom exhaus- tion. The body was trozen intoachunk of ice. A few days ago Miss Maggie Bunn, a school-teacher at Highmore, while going from the school to her house, was frozen to death. The bodies of three Indians who belonged to Berthold Agency, were found frozen near Ashland. Several more have been missing since Christmas, and they must have been caught out. Their bodies will probably be found when the snow melts in the spring. In Montana a number of casual- ties Dave already occurred. An Englishman named Elliott left Fort Assiniboine twen- 8 days ago for Maple Creek, in Canada. o is an old man and could not successfully face the Northern cold, so it is believed he has 8 David J. Walters, a miner, aged . was found dead this week in a snov bound cabin near Virginia Uity. STEPPED ASIDE THREE FEET AND WAS LOST. Dan Lovey was lost in the Musselshell range and wandered for six days with nothing to eat in the worst blizzard ever seen. He stepped three feet to blanket a horse, got lost and was icked up by some cowboys a week later near- y dead. Warren Taylor, an old soldier, was — lately in a blizzard in the Mussel- shell and frightfully frozen in the hand and feet. He died from blood poisoning two days later. Tony Wise and a Swede named Martin were at work on mining property on the side of Sheep Mountain early in January. A huge avalanche swept dovn the mountain side and hurled the men into eternity without a moment's warning, burying them thousands of feet below. In the mining regions west of here, terrible freezings have occurred, but fortunately with little loss of life. At Billings, January Il, three men, Cruthers, Porterand Thurston, started to walk from awood camp into town. The drifts were so deep that the men had to lie down and roll over. Cruthers reached Billings with the muscles of his neck so paralyzed that he could not speak. Porter’s body was found frozen solid undera pile of snow, and Thurston has never been seen or heard of since. Stage-drivers are having the roughest experiences of their lives. They are the heroes of Montana. The frightful experience of Fox and Montgomery | on the Benton stage, bound for elena, twenty days ago, will go down in histo as the worst of the kind. They were without food and drink for forty hours. A stace- driver started February 4 from Fort Buford for Glendive. When seventeen miles out the stage was caught in a oObilizzard and one of the horses frozen to death. The driver eon 4 escaped with his life. A Manitoba engineers’ party of five left Buford last week for the end of the track grad- ing. When they came to the crest of a hill the worst blizzard of the season sprang up, and they were compelled to go into camp on the spot. It was simply impossible to travel in any direction in such astorm. On that ex- posed knoll they passed from Friday to Monday without wood or food, and- finally escaped more dead than alive. Tom Williams, a sheep-herder near Mossgale Springs, about 60 years old, was discovered lying face downward in the snow. He was dead, but the sheep were wandert aimlessly about. Many had been stampede by packs of wolves. INDIANS AMONG THB WORST SUFFERERS. The Indians seem to have caucht it harder than any other human creatures in the coun- try. A band of British Cree Indians came across the line last fall and while the weather was une campedinthe mountains between the forks of Sun River. An unusual snow followed and the wretched creatures became penned in by anicy wall. From seventy the number was reduced to fifty-one by starva- tion, when white men hunted them up and brought relief. A band of half-breeds is reported coyered up on Lonesome Prairie and a number of Nez Perce Indians, a rem- nant of Chief Joseph's famous band, who fought Gens. Miles and Howard s0 stubbornly, have been snowed in on Colville Reservation. Four feet of beautiful snow“ prevented hunting game, and many died from cold and hunger. 1 the 1 part of January fifty lodges of Orow Indians camped on Clark's Fork came near dying. Many did per- ish, but the majority managed to sustain lite By cating the cattle that had died in the snow- damage 0 le er and 1 1 ; from rem 6 f aged and foes except on snowshoes. „800 ontan lost en is oe 228 doubt — 9 cattle ind thankful if — ag eno were anew in the i ' laced ny A 25 per cent, Hel to ) aminations, report numerous 0 uried in snow standing up horns visible.

In the Upper Missouri country hay is worth nearly No a ton, more than the face value of steers, and it does not pay to feed. Near Ben ton some cattle were seen to stand in the snow with freezing legs. Others were literally frozen in their tracks. Around Miles City the outlook is the best of al). Stockmen are more hopeful there than elsewhere. A fuel famine has been prevailing along the Upper Missouri. At Fort Benton willow les are $7 to $12 a load; inferior water-logg cotton wood cord. One poor woman burned her furniture to keep from freezin. gFences, barns and out- buildings have been consumed. A chinook was reported from Helena yesterday blowing eastward twenty miles an hour. Stock men and ranchers were warned to hurry the cattle and effects out of the river bottoms. Advices just received say the chinook was side-tracked above Billings, and it is snowing in that local- STARTED IN HIS SLEEP. The Thrilling and Remarkable Experience of a Locomotive Engineer. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. SORANTON, Pa., February 16.—Late Saturd night Denais Mack, engineer on a switch en- gine in the yards of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company in this city, ran his engine into the engine-house. As he was to go on duty again at 1 o’clock Sunday morning he lay down in the cab of his engine to sleep until thattime. Just before 1 o’clock the workmen and Mack’s engine the breach. The engine ran distance over the ground and then toppled over down an embankment twenty-five feet high. It rolled over and over in the descent and was badly wrecked. The workmen knew that Mack was on the engine and expected to find himcrushed. They found bim fast in the wreck, and although was held so that it took some time to extricate him. he was found to have received but a few slight injuries. He could not explain what caused the engine to start, but it is a posed that he started up in his sleep and pulled the throttle open. This singular occurrence recalls the fact that one of the most terrible railroad accidents that ever occurred in this country was cansed by an engineer startin his engine while asleep. It was in July, 1868, on the Erie Rail- road, at Masthope Station. The track was then a single one on that part of the road. Conductor Brown had orders to lie on the switch at Masthope until fast express train No. 3, west-bound, passed. James Griffin was engineer of the f/reighttrain. As the express train approached the station at midnight, running thirty-five miles an hour, Conductor Brown was horrified to see his train pullin out on the main track directly in front o the express, and a terrific collision was the result. The cars of the express train were iled on top of one another and caught fire. — passengers were killed outright, anda dozen others were held in the wreck and burned alive. The depot caught fire and was destroyed. Griffin discovered the situa- tion and jumped. He fled, but afterward sur- rendered himself. He was tried for man- slaughter in September, 1869. He was defended by the late Chief Justice G. W. Woodward. It was proved on the trial that he had been on duty ages ge hours, without sleep, and the point made by the defense was that while waiting on the switch he was overcome by sleep. He was partially awakened by the approaching train and ulled open the throttie of his engine, before 2 knew what he was doing. A sympathetic jury acquitted him, and they were publicly censured by the Court who had charged them to convict. The disaster made the name of Masthope so notorious all over the country that the railroad company changed the name of the station to Pine Grove, which it retained until a few weeks o when it was changed back to Masthope. he remains of several of the victims were never identified. The dis- aster cost the company $100, 000. A CIVIL SERVICE BILL, The Local Reform Association Proposes Some Legislation for Missouri. There was a meeting of the Executive com- mittee of the Civil Service Reform Associa- tion last nightin the Washington University Law School, Fourteenth and Lucas place. Charles Claflin Allen reported as chairman of the Committee on Legislation a form of Dill for State and municipal reform. The bill provides for the appointment of a civil service commission to consist of three members who are to serve each for six years, one term expiring every two years who are to prepare rules for the regulation o the civil service of the State and cities of over $0,000 inhabitants. The rules are to be in gen- eral effect like those of the National Civil Service Commission, and those of the State commissions of New York and Massachusetts, The bili provides for competitive ex- whenever practicable, of ap- plicants for appointive positions the State or city service. Examining boards are to be appointed in each city under the jurisdiction of the commission tu be of posers in or out of the public service. here are several sections which prohibit the levying or collecting of political assessments from employes of the State or city govern- ments. A provision of the bill is taken from the Massachusetts law, under which all ap- plicants for work as laborers are registered on making application, and when laborers are needed they are to be taken in from this reg- ister in the order of their names upon the book. No examination is required for such positions, the applicant being only required to be of good moral character. The bill was approved by the Executive Committee, and the Committee on Legislation was instructed to secure its introduction into the General Assembly. A special committee was appointed, consisting of F. N. Judson, Chairman of the Executive Committee; Charles Claflin Allen, Edward Cunningham, Jr., and John W. Dryden to further the passage of the bill, with power to add.to their numbers. A copy of the bill isto be sent toeach member of the association, with the request that he use his personal influence to further the Dill’s passage. THE LIEDERKRANZ MASQUERADE. Elaborate Arrangements for the Annual Gathering Next Saturday Evening. The Liederkranz annual masquerade ball, a leading feature of the social season, will take place next Saturday evening. There will bea large attendace, and the arrangements insure a marked success. It should be understood on this occasion that no one will be admitted to the ball-room without a mask, the rule applying to ladies as well as to gen- tlemen. The small hall and the galle will be reserved for persons unmasked an children under twelve years will not admitted to any part of the building.

Now that the balloon has received a definite status in the British army, perhaps the War Office will have time to consider the claims of the dieycle to similar recognition. Regularly organized biecyele corps ars now attached to the French army, and in recent maneuvers they have done al such work asthe carrying of orders and dis. patones, and done it with more speed and punctuality than mounted troopers. In some cases bicyclists have accomplished journeys of fifty and sixty miles a day for six and eight days in successiou, At this rate a bicycliss|y not only more efficient than a horseman, but Hay—At. of the tto of A Royal of cheaper; for a bicycle costs originally less - than half the price of a horse, whereas it is far less expensive to keep, and is much less likely to be put hors de combat by a stray bullet, LORD JOHN HAY. Lord John Hay is to become Naval Comman- der-in-Chief at Devonport when Admiral Phil. limore retires in May. The Portsmouth com. mand, which is the blue ribbon of the service, will become vacant next year, when Str George Willis retires, and Sir William Dowell ought to be his successor, but I hear thatthe Queen ls anxious thatthe Prince of Leiningen should be appointed, and the servility of the present Cabinet isso exuberant that I dare say this flagrant job will be sanctioned. If the Prince does not get Portsmouth he is sure to be ap. pointed to Devonport when Lord John Hay retires next year on becoming Admiralof the Fleet. JUBILER FEATURES. A meeting to commemorate the Queen's jubilee was held last week by some ladies in the Provost's house, Trinity College, Dublin, the Duchess of Mariborough being present. It was agreed that each lady should subscribe the sum of one shilling to commemorate the Queen’s devotion to Ireland during fifty years. The 12 pennies in the selected coin most suit- ably represent the twelve days devotedly given up to Ireland out of these fifty years, Among the most curious jubilee objects isa jubilee dress improver. It says God save the Queen“ whenever the wearer sits down. The inventor has forwarded one to her Majesty, But how about loyal subjects? They, if they wear the Improver, would only be able to listen to God Save the Queen!“ sitting, for were they to rise the music would cease. THE BLUE GROTTO OF CAPRI. The blue grotto of Capri is threatened either with destruction or being closed tothe pud- lic. An American has bought the land over it, and he claims that everything below the surface belongs to him. In vindication of his right he has broughtasuit. If he wins ithe will de able to close the grotto. It he loses ithe will be able to make a hole through its ceiling, which will put an end to the blue re- flections inside it. MISS HANNAH JENNER. The Queen has written a kind letter of con- dolence to Sir William Jenner, who has just lost his last surviving sister, Miss Hannaa Jenner, who has lived for many years at the Palace House, Bishop’s Waltham. Miss Jenner’s death is much regretted at Bishop's Waltham, as she was very kind and bara ble, and the poor of the town have to lament the loss of an untiring benefactor. Sir Will- jam arrived in time to see bis sister before she died. PRINCES LEARNING TRADES. One of the weekly papers announces thatthe Prince Regent of Bavaria bas given orders that each of his sons shall learn a manual trade and that Prince Rupprecht, the heir to the throne, has become a turner. Prince kup precht and his brothers are the grandsons of the Regent, Luitpold, being the sons of bis eldest son, Prince Louis, who is married to the Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria. It ig a matter of course for every German, what ever his rank, to learn a trade and the Regent has given no order whatever on the subject. A ROYAL OATOR, The Duke and Duchess of Nassau and their gon Prince Willlam have arrived at Cannes on avisitto the Crown Prince and Princess of Baden at the Villa des Tours. Prince William of Nassau, who was born in 1852, is the best royal parti in Europe, as he will inherit an im · mense fortune from his father and he is no encumbered by the possession of a crown. MR.

OPINIONS OF GRAND ARMY MEN REGARDING THE DEPENDENT PENSION BILL. Commanders of Various Posts Send Replies to Gen. Fairchild—The Bill Denounced by Some and Approved by Others—Con- gress Urged to Pass it Over the Presi- dent's Veto. Pv Te'lerraph to the Post-DISPaTcn. New Tonk, February 16.—Yesterday the newspapers printed a circular received by telegraph from Gen. Lucius Fairchild, Com- mander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, asking the various posts of the or- der throughout the country to immediately inform members of Congress of their approval ordisapproval of the principles involved in the dependent pension bill recently vetoed by t President. It will be remembered that this bill grants a pension of $12 per month to all honorably discharged soldiers and sallors who served three months in the late civil war upon the ground of present disabil- ity alone—if not the result of then vicious babits—and without regard as to whether the cisability was due to injuries received during their seryice. It was passed inthe House by a vote of 180 yeas to 76 nays,in the Senate ithout adivision, and was vetoed by the Tresident last Friday. Congress must act upon the veto within the present session which expires two weeks from next Friday. THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. With a view of getting ata representative ©pinion of Grand Army men in the various ftates your correspondent adds the dispatches to the general officers of the organization to #!i the members of the council! of administra- tion, being one for each State of the Union, &«king answers to these two questions: “What, in your opinion, should Congress doin the matter of the President s veto of the Copendent pension bill?“ ig hat do the soldiers of the Federal army AR neighborhood think of the measure The following replies have been received: WANTS IT PASSED.

The measure is a just and proper one. Among other good results it wil beip to settle the question of surpius in the Treasury. Give the surplus to the boys who made even a treasury possible. O. F. CLARK, Assistant Adjutant-General, G. A. R. Utica, N. 1. TOO LONG DELAYED. I nope Congress will have the courage to stand by the dependent pension biil and will pass it over the President’s veto. Thisis the unqualified sentiment of the Grand Army men here. It is a measure of justice to the depend- ent soldier and his family, already too long delayed. D. R. AUSTIN. | Toiedo, O., February 15. SUSTAIN THE VETO. I think that Congress should sustain the President’s veto of the dependent pension bill, believing its passage would open the doors to gross frauds and would seriously in terfere with the procurement of pensions by soldiers who were wounded or contracted dis- ease in the army, but who are totally disabled. I have interviewed many old soldiers to-day and nearly all agree with me. Yet ata meeting of Post 23 held last evening, nineteen voted in favor of the bill and sixteen against it. B. W. Mus. Trenton, N. J., February 15. PASS IT OVER THE VETO. Pass it over the veto. The soldiers are of one mind, and those of the Democratic faith are much disheartened at the President's action, fearing it will place Indiana perma- nently in the Republican column. C. E. WHITSETT. Indianapolis, February 15. A TARDY KECOGNITION. A nation that paid over 44,000, 000,00 to preserve its life can well afford to be generous to ite heroic defenders. Congress would act wisely to pass the Dill over the veto. Give the boys in dlue a pension. To thou- sands it would be a tardy recognition—to all simple justice. GEORGE A. SILSBY, President Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Association. Mitchell, Dak., February !5. THE VETO DENOUNCED. Ithink it the duty of Congress to pass the bill over the President's veto. The Dill is a just recognition of what is due to men who risked their lives and lost their health for their country. Grand Army men here, with- out regard to party, denounce the veto in un- measured terms. J. W. FEIGHAN. Emporia, Kan., February 15. THE FEELING IN NEW YORK. The responses in Brooklyn and New York show a considerable majority of the leading Grand Army men in this city to approve of the veto by the President on grounds en- tirely apart from political considerations. — Amusement Notes.

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE PROPOSED IN THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF TAXATION, Representative Whitelaw’s Plan te Tax the Gross Earnings of a Road—The Bill In- troduced To-Day — The Submissionists’ Hollow Victory—Contested Election Cases | —The Militia Bill—Capital Gossip. Special Correspondence of the Posr-Disraren JEFFERSON CiTy, February 15.—Mr. Robt. Whitelaw will introduce in the House to- morrow a bill relating to the taxation of ralil- road companies, which, should it become a law, will add materially to the State revenue derived from that source and at the same time afford relief to railroad companies whose small business would make a reduction in their tax particularly acceptable. Mr. White- law’s intention is to tax a road upon ite actual value to its owners, instead of upon an assessment of ite valuation as is done under the present law. In order to do that his bill pro- vides for the laying of taxes only upon the gross earnings of a road, the tax to be paid monthly directtothe State Treasurer, who shall in turn distribute the money so re- ceived pro rata among the different counties on amileage basis. The rate fixed by Mr. Whitelaw is3 percent, which is sufficiently large, according to last year’s gross earnings of the roads im the State, to return a revenue several thousands of dollars in excess of the receipts from the same source last year. Through freight pass- ing over the State is to be taxed on the total receipts of the haul in proportion to the number of miles traveig¢ in Missouri. The bill also provides for the appointment by the Governor of a State traveling audi- tor, who shall have power to inspect books and papers of railroad companies and of an additional clerk in the 8 Treasurer's of- fice. Should the bill pass it will relieve the State Board of Equalization of the necessity of as- sessing ralſroads on the valuation of their property, and itis claimed by Mr. Whitelaw will greatly simplify the system of railroad taxation. The bill is founded on the Lllinois law and meets with considerable favor among members who have read It. A lack of enthusiasm was noticeable in the House this morning over the passage of the submission resolution. That it was a hollow at best, which could only be used as a the next political campaign, was every quarter.

FAREWELL CONCERT. Sale—Preparations for the Singer’s Ar- rival. commenced in mild form when the first posi- tive announcement of the diva’s concert was made. It took the shape of inquiries of all kinds about the concert, the date, Patti herself and the tickets. It waxed stronger as the days passed, and commenced to work the _ telephape wires. The telephone became bDbasier and busier and messages became thicker and thicker until the little machine Was on the rack from morning to nightand the messenger boys were in regular procession. This thing grew so bad until Manager Johnston showed signs of distraction and nervous pros- tration, muzzled the telephone and refused to answer telegrams. The messagss were of all kinds. People asked when the concert would take place, when the sale would begin, where the sale would be, at what time the sale would commence, and then there were hundreds of requests for seats, choice seats, front row dress circle seats, parquet seats, balcony seats and boxes. O COURSE, MR. JOHNSTON was unable to reserve seats for anyone, and all such requests were refused point blank, which only increased the excitement. The evidences of the mania’s merging into wild and reckless lunacy were cropping up all day yesterday at Exposition Building and at Balmer & Weber's, where the sale of seats was to take place. Mr. Unger, who is handling the sale, shared the burden with Mr. Johnston and answered innumerable questions while resisting loads of temptations to reserve a few seats for par- ticular friends or for people who had to be out of town, etc., etc. One young man, who was bound to be on time, went to the music store on Broadway at 10 o’clock yesterday morning and put in his haif-hour or so at intervals during the day to keep up his claim. He was solitary and alone, however, as no one seemed to think it worth while to begin the siege until nightfall. As soon as8 o'clock a messenger boy joined the young man, and the two stood around the entrance ofthe store. Soon after a cash- boy from a big retail store dropped into the group, several newsboys were added to it, an usher from a theater, and one or two others. By 9 o’clock there were halt a dozen young 9 o’clock the next morning. Only twelve hours’ wait in the chilly and damp atmos- — just to give some one an opportunity to isten to the wonderful voice of the world's greatest artiste. PATTI WAS EVIDENTLY ata high premium in St. Louis, and if the doughty Col. Mapleson of ‘‘’Er Majesty’s ’Orse’’ could have taken a glance at the pa- tient, shivering group he would have raised Abbey a thousand or so on her salary. The waiters were as well prepared as possible for the siege. They were all mumed in the big- gest overcoats they could command. One had a camp-stool, another had a box, and another had a bench which he could lie down on and catch a snooze now and then. were without such conveniences, to be content with the the iron platform in the doorway of the store. It was a good-natured crowd and ‘ ‘first come, first in line’’ ruled. They smoked, joked, stamped made excursions to owl saloons to warm up and slept. There were few additions from il to2 o’clock, but at this hour fresh oontingents began arriving and the additions were steady through the morning and to-day. y 8 o'clock the line began to develop and gradually unfolded itself like the colis ofa huge serpent. Belated citizens passing the point stopped and asked what was the matter, and the officer on the beat took a look at intervals to see if everything was al- right. Atdaybreak there were nearly fifty in line and then the rush began. Most of tne persons who came before this time were em- — tn and speculators’ agents or boys and 0 men who did not want seats, put hought they might make a few dollars by selling their places. As soon as it became light solid citizens, young men, who knew that the favor of certain sleeping beauties was dependent on front-row seats and were bound Coats and Vests from Broken Suits.

Then a telephone message was sent to the police station for patrolmen and four stal- | wart officers responded. They pushed their (way through the crowd and by main strength | and threats cleared an opening. Inside Mr. Ungar had ali he could attend to | selling seats, and Mr. Gillette, representative | for Mr. Abbey, supervised the sale, keeping the line in order and preventing speculators from getting more than their share, and also | preventing outsiders from getting those in line to parchase for him. A few orders slipped ‘through him, but very few. The speculators were strongly represented, but were limited to ten seats for each buyer. The sheet, when it was first put out, did not have a scratch on it. The directors and tickets for the press were put on the same basis as the others and had to be bought bya inan who had been in the line ail night. Sev- eral purchasers tried to get big biocks of seats, but were not allowed to do so. Within Dult an hour after the sale commenced every box was taken, the first three rows in the dress circle were nearly gone and the center of the parquet looked biack. THE ALL NIGHTERS either made the purchases or gave up their places to those who had sent them to keep the positions or sold out to others who were will- ing to pay forthoice places. The boys who stayed all night or for six or seven hours on a speculation, obtained from Sli to $5 for front ositions. They had made their money onestly. John Noonan, the boss newsboy, whose stand is at Broadway and Olive street, was one of the all nighters. He looked a littie the worse for wear when he dropped out of line, — oe was happy over a bunch of choice seats. ‘I’ve been here since 9 0’clock last night, said he, waiting for my chance. Did you enjoy it?’’ Well, yes-some, not much. It’s only — 7 U hours, and if you think it pleasont just ry it.’ How did you pass the night?“ Oh, in great shape. Ihad an iron step to sleep on. It was thefunniest looking gang youeversaw. Some of the boys had stools and boxes and some of em brought beds along to snooze on. Weroosted around out- side on ere and skipped off just to warm up. Butthey’ve got tosee Patti if she does come high.’’ Everett Wytth, the head usher at the Olym- pic, was another one who made an all-night stay, and he looked weary when he dropped out. He said there were a dozen or so around the entrance holding the fort and trying to keep their spirits up. He doesn’t want any more Patti sale in his nightcap. One grimy-faced little rooster, who had been on deck the whole nignt, chipped in with, ‘‘It was putty tough, boss, but wen dere’s tree slugs at de end it’s better’n a goods box. I'd take dat kind of a nap any time fur de money. At 9:30 o’clock there were over five hundred persons, a large proportion of them ladies, waiting forachance to buy. The store was filled, the sidewaik, in front, was blocked and the line extended around the corner on Olive street nearly to the St. Louis Gas Light Com- pany’s off_ice. The line was maintained nearly = this standard until late in the day. Numbers of persons became discouraged and dropped out, and one speculator sold two seats for $7.50 each within ten minutes after he had purchased them. It is undoubtedly the largest sale for a single event that has ever taken place in St. Louis. PREPARATIONS FOR PATTI. Patti will arrive in the city on Sanday morn- ing.
