My opinion is that_they said Alexander tirst s214 the property WAS WORTH $3,500, but they finally agreed ; They rol me that Alexander bad maue a repoit of hi sule to the Court stating that he bad bold the property to Daniels for $1,506. It Was also stated that Alexander, or Daniels, wanted to have the deed im directly this man, who had agreed ive $2 for the piace. We agreed that that could not be none as the report showed a sale to Daniels. lthen asked Miller whut he was xto do the matter.

Bartholow, whose death is an- nounced this morning, was born near Balti- more,in 1826. Hecameto Missouriin 18h}, and settied in Fayette, Howard county. He volunteered at the outbreak of the Mexican war in 1816 in Captain Congreve Jackson's company, which was apart ot Donip ban’s command. He was with the b rigade in its wonderful march along the Southern border, and was in all the towns which the war made famous. After the closing of hostilities Bartholow returned to Howard county, and subsequently came to St. Louis, where he entered the house ot Woods, Christy & Co. This was for the purpose of learning book-keeping and trade. As soon as he believed himself conversant with they mysteries of commerce, he went into busi- ness in Glasgow, Mo,., with Mr. Perry. in the spring of 1554 he went into the manufacture oftobacco with bB. W. Lewis & Co*, where he remained until the beginning of the civil war. He atonce raised a company and after- werds a regiment, and was made a Brigadier under Goverfor Gamble. He served through the warin the center of the State and pained himself a reputation that has followed him through life. When the rebellion was ended, he went down into Mexico and engaged in miningin the State ot Durango. Here, for a while, he was quite busy caring for his interests, when the revolu- tion occurred, and be was forced to abundon his valuable property, and was driven out. His ciaims against the Mexican Government have been recently decided in his favor before ‘he Joint Commission, of which Sir Edward Thornton is umpire, and six or seven hundred thousand dollars awarded him. Atter bis return from Mexico he_ estab- lished the banking house of Bartholow, lewis & Co., to which business he has devoted the greater part of his time. Gen.

A meeting of the Association cit the Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers was held on Saturday evening to consider the matier of next year’s contract. The meeting was strictiy secret. The session commenced at 3 o'clock and continued till 6. From various sources the intormation was gieaned that after a protracted discussion of the situation it was decidedto demand a re- newal of the contract on last May at $5 per tone On that day several mill committees will wait onthe manufacturers and ask them to sign the contract, and in the event of their refusal work will ve discontinued and @ con- ference held, provided the manufacturers de- sire a conterence.

The minutes otf Saturday were rend and approved, The committee on deceased ministers, through its chairman, Rev. J. G.White, Jack- sonville, J1l., made the following report: ‘* During the past vear the augel of death has demanded an unusual number of victiins trom the walls of ont beloved Zion—from youths as- piring tothe sacred work of the ntuistry to aved veterans of the cross who had nuaiberel their four score of years Was this lust summons sent. TheJ unprececented number of wivisters de- ceased during the year, their past arduons la- bors andthe long eventful lives of many of therm precludes the possibility of doing justice to their memory or giving full utterunce to our emotions, and the sym- pathy so jusily due to their aMicted famili.s andthe church, which mourns on account of their absence. The labors of these faithful servants God has recorded on high. and it remains for historians and biographers to transmit to Dvbosterity their earihiy record to its triumphs. In view of the death of so larger a numovers of faithful ministers, your committee recommend for adoption the toliowing: PResoived, That while we bow submissively to the afflictive dispensation of God's providence and sympathize deeply with the afflicted and bereft families of destitute churches, were-e- ommend the earnest, importunate prayer that God will overrule all for his glory, the pros- perity of the Churebh and the salvation of souls. Resoired, That earnest nrayers be made throughout the Church: for a more thorough consecration of ail our ministers and churches; that God willrevive his work and call other men to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, whomay receive the falling manties ot those who bave gone before.

Then the work was simply to establish the availablity of the eandidate. Now there is not only a strony sentiment to overcome—a sentiment against Mr. Tilden, against the spirit of his meti:.s and the tone of his sur- roundings, agains: further submission to the dictation of New York—but a well-founded distrust of his loyalty to Democracy, and a very natural reluctance to place the fortunes of the party in the hands of one who, when elected, cou!d not reach the Presi- deney. And besides all this, there is an ear- nest desire on the part of the Democracy to call to the post of honor some one of those men who inthe thick of battle have shown the wisdom and courare, the devotion to the peo- ple, which on the part of Mr. Tilden have only been promised.

A SHIPLESS NATION, In a recent after-dinner speech in New York, Senator Blaine, responding to the toast, ” found himself in the position of the historian of “Our Foreiga Commerce, Iceland, who had devoted a chapter to the snakes of Iceland, when there were no | snakes in Iceland. The brilliant Senator, | however, was old enough to remember the | we had a_ carrying trade | forth after-dinner speeches, time when tit tions in ; , eS described in eloquent language the decline | to call patriotic congratula- and he and decay of our maritime interests, show- | ing that while we had increased in popula- | agriculture, in tion, in manufactures, in | exports and imports, our vessels, which | twenty years ago carried three-fourths of our foreign trade, now carry only one- | tenth. Not only are we left behind by Great | Britain, the traditional ruler of the sea, but our trade with such small powers as | Sweden and Spain and Greece is done, not in American bottoms, but in ships carrying | the flags of these insignificant but success- | ful rivals. ! Thus far the' briiliant Senator had the sad assent of all who heard him, and it was | ouly reasonable to expect that he would go on to trace the cause of such a result and | to point out the remedy for such an evil. | Certainly, if the evil was worth bewailing | / at a banquet, the remedy was worth seek- ing, and every sensible man out of Congress | kvows where to find it. But sensible men | not permitted to to Vision in Congress are sce truths that are and unpleasant the unable their | of | Senator Blaine is look | beyond the seacoast of Maine,where a small | trade in wooden ships is carried on. In- | stead of boldly admitting that the remedy | for our shipless condition now is free trade | to in ships, he was even weak enough to make 'a weak protest against allowing American | citizens to buy abroad those vessels which | a stupid protectionist policy prevents them | from building at home. He was even stupid | enough to say that for an American to buy an English-built ship did not make it an | American ship, and was so incredibly stupid as to lose sight of the fact that the chief | importance of ships is in the carrying trade, and to insist that he wanted the profits of | the ship-building to go to the Americans. Now, that is just the narrow-minded and restrictive policy which Senator Blaine’s | party has imposed on the country since it held power, and instead of the profits of shipbuilding going to the Americans, they have gone away from the Americans. There is no question now about our building ships. We cannot do it. Noteven the most san- guine of subsidized naval contractors in Pennsylvania, nor the most thick-headed ship carpenter fitting out fishing-smacks at Bide- ford, but knows that we are not prepared to build Jue vessels as now float the world's ocean ‘tommerce. But we can get the profits of the carrying trade, and only our ands inour way. Let Congress enough | atlantique ¥ ‘' and White longer.

As iong as this so-called ordinance (I suppose they were ashamed to law, but, whatever they call it, they cannot call it justice) remains in force, it will bea standing disgrace to the city and the men who have it in their power te remedy the evil. Be it known to all the people, that this mo- nopoly wakes the people pay over one cent on every pound of bheef they buy; and if it continues it will drive all the small dealers out of the city. Then the monopolists can slaughter the people as well as the cattle. But you must remember that this is the law, and it must ve obeyed. very nice in the ears of men with full stom- achsa, who by their low craft rob their neigh- bors.

Rumor has it that the principal object of Mr. Hyde’s visit was to look over the ground and see what sort of a field is newspaper ventur, either by purchase of the Times, or Dy the establishment of a new Democratic dailv. The a te seems not to be improbable, to say the least. Mr. Hyde basssome stock in the Republican, but not enough to avail him anything in the control of | but | the paper. Heis the managing editor, the paper belongs to ‘George hnapp & Co..’’ and they control it. Mr. Hyde is ambitious. He never has had full swing on the Republican. He is compar- atively a young man. He is alive to the splen- did prospects of Kansas City, and it is but vatural that -be should wish to share her for- tunes. He is well posted on the situation, and is, no doubt, aware of the field offered here for a Democratic paper of respectability and influence. These facts, together with the fact that the enterprise recently in the hands of Colonels Crisp, Routt, Moore and Frame - has been abandoned on account of a failure to obtain the necessary funds to start a paper, ive color to the reports circulating among Yemocrats yesterday to the effect that Mr. Hyde is seriously considering a proposition to become the head of a company to buy the Times. et -—--— > A Tax-Dodger Repents.

FRANCE. The Current Topic in Sporting Circles Virtually Settled. - = —_— Each Party Has Received His Forfeit and the Turf, Field and Farm Renders a Decision Against France. owe Oe The facts in the Greeley-France controversy are tolerably well known to the majority of the people of St. Louis. Mr. France laid the case before the Turf, Field and Farm, which, in its issue of May 16, contains-the fol- lowing: THE GREELEY-FRANCE CONTROVERSY. Weare in receipt of a letter dated St. Louis, Mo., May 12, from Mr. W. €. France, one of the parties interested in a brace of double- team trots, asking our opinion in regard to the matter, and consenting to be governed by such opinion. one, but we shall not shrink from its execu- tion. The following is Mr. France’s letter: ‘*St. Lours, May 12, 1879. ‘*Editors Turf, Field and Farm: ‘*] inclose you the statement of Mr. Greeley and myselfin regard to our double-team races, and with the facts | wish your candid opinion of the matter. If 1 am wrong I wish to be set right and will be governed by you in this mat- ter. ‘*Yourstruly, “WwW. C. FRANCH.’’ ANSWER. The statements above alluded to have cone the rounds of the daily press, and the reading uuiblic is familiar with all the details. We et not the space to devote to them here, but shall give an unbiased opinion of the case, founded upon its merits. It appears to us that, Mr. W. C. mnatch to trot his team against that of Mr. C. B. Greeley, it was his duty to carry out its provisions in good faith. The evidence ia the case does not go to show that he did this, or | ever intended to doso., On the other hand, ihe testimony proves that Mr. Greeley Was in readiness to cary out portion of the contract, while Mr. France made every effort toevade his share ofit. The affidavit of Mr. George E. Finch clearly es- self-convicted as to his intention not to trot the race with Mr. Greeley. The case is plain and does not admit of argument. to established usayve and racing law, Mr. Greeley is clearly entitled to the forfeit money bow in the hands of Mr. Edward Martin, and we trust that Mr. France will see the pro- priety of at once relinquishing all claim thereto. A reporter called on Mr. France to elicit | his views in relation to the decision,and found that gentleman at his office and very busy. Ile said he had no doubt that the Turf, Field : and Farm had just mixed matters completely | the The which mistaken parties. deeision had the contain a posi- next anc of will up, tion Spirit facts of the case. ‘*Onee, for all, Mr. France, vou think you have not had justice in that decision?’’ ‘*Well, 1 should say Ll hadn’t—why the thing couldn’t,be more topsy-turvy if some- body were to try to boxitup. I will not abide by that decision.’’ Mr. France continued history of the later developments: ‘*About two weeks ago I was absent in authorized Mr. Horatio Page to act for me in Mr. Page been reecived: St. Louts, 9th of May, 1879, C.

Few of our public men have the quiet fasci- nation of manner, the old-fashioned grace snd charming conversational powers of Jef- ferson Davis. His memory is capacious and retentive. One might, witha facile phono- stores of reminis- 1 asked him if he was much visited by news- yaper men. He replied that he was not, for he had made it an invariable rule not to be interviewed, and of the repulses of reporters he gave me several instances of an amusing nature. ‘‘Surely,’’ he said, ‘*‘I whoam disfranchised, not even acitizenof the United States and with no political ambitions, may claim immunity from the reporters.’’ The conversation turned naturally upon the news- paper press, and in his estimate of the jour- nals of the old school as compared with the newer and ‘‘spicier’’ papers of to-day, Mr. Davis showed an intimate Knowledge of the history of journalism in this country. Mr. | Davis is a preity extensive newspaper reader. + He reads the New Orleans dailies of a morn- ing, brought out by,the express. Papers are sent him from everywhere, many of his Southern friends addressing their papers to ‘*Ex-President Davis.’’ I asked bim if in working on his memoirs he | preferred the morning hours for his literary task. He said that he did not;that he could work better evenings and was in fact a late riser. ‘‘*I goteneugh of early rising in the army in my younger days,’" he added. The manual labor of writing was, he remarked, distasteful to him, and he sought relief in dic- the pen of his amanuensis could secure them. ‘*The only person who could ever write fast enough for me,’’ he said, ‘*was my chief clerk when I was Secretary of War. He disliked composition and | equally disliked writing. We were, therefore, the comple- ments of each other.’’ The little library in A gallery midway up the shelves makes it easy, by means of a step-lader, to handle books on the topmost shelves. ‘The large library which Mr. Davis possessed before the war was dispersed, the books in many “a8eS being scattered throug the woods. Allof his present collection are newly acquired. The lower shelves are laden with the Congressional Globes—an imperfect set, Mr. Davis remarked—and the ‘‘ American Archives.’’ Above are biographies in great number and political histories, hand-books, etc. Early in the afternoon lunch was served in the little library. While we ate Mr. Davis talked pleasantly of men and events in bygone days. He has that rare cheerfulness of humor which communicates itself to his auditors, and has besides a quietly wittyturn. What was said by Mr. Davis regarding current politics I am not at liberty to repeat. But I may say that none of Mr. Davis’s judgments of men and things were tinged with bitterness. He seems to discuss politics from the serener heights of philosophic statesmanship. He is while earnestly be- lieving in the doctrine of State rights. .With- out the States there could, he said, be no Union, and in local self-government alone lies safety. Regarding certain matters which were dis- cussed in the course of the day, I am _ privil- eged to speak. Lasked himifhe thought the negro exodus would assume formidable di- mensions. Hrsaid he did not attribute ex- aggerated importance to the movement, nor did he think it a trifling matter. The negroes are credulous and easily led. Those who have ne to Kansas will probably return, if they Rave the means, others think they will remain only to die in that cold country. Some of his negro laborers on his Mississippi River plan- tation went to Kansas, in the outset the ‘sexodus.’’ They had asked his opinion of Kansas, and he had told them of its rous climate, but had said to them, if they felt it to be for their — good to leave, to go rather to Asan Senteaate of negro credulity Mr. Da- ‘stacked his system. kill a white , societies of the St. | continue to-day, opened at Klausmann'’s Cave 6 of the Cass Avenue | earpenter residing at No. vis related to me the experience of une of his c eproeaye whom an agent had sold a certifi- e for $5 entititn the purchaser to take forty acres of waste d. The poor fellow selected a piece of ground and spent all of his savings in improving and stocking the place. He had got the land into a fair state of culti- vation when the owner came along and told the negro to leave, for it was his property. Thus the poor duped negro lost every cent he had. Mr. Davis thinks the return of some of | the Kansas emigrants will for a time deter ne- | groes from trying their fortune there, but he | fears that the easy credulity cf the negro may at anytime render him the vietim of some | cruel scheme.

The tendency of negroes in the State of Mis- sissippi, thinks Mr. Davis, is to move on to the alluvial. They are leaving the hills and going to the river. He advocates the immigration to this fertile hill country of Northern men, who will, he believes, be cor- dially welcomed.

JERSEYVILLE, ILL., May 19.—At a called meeting of the members of the Jerseyville Guards, last Friday evening for the purpose of electing one captain and a first lieutenant, the folowing gentleman were placed in nomiaa- tion: Capt. James Burk, A. A. Goodrich and J. E. Boyington. Voting by ballot was nextin order, when the following ballots were an nounced. First ballot—Capt. Burk received 19, Bevington, 12; Goodrich, 16, and 2 seat- tering. second ballot—LBurk, 21; Boyington, 15; Goodrich, 12. Finding that the yoting could be carried on all night in this manner on account of each candidute having his friends, anniotion was then made to drop the hind- most man, which wascarried. The result of this was the election of John EK. Boyington as captaiu and F. Osborn as first lieutenant. Con- siderable bulldozing was gone through with members and outsiders. A young man, giving his name as Neal, was arrested near Godtrey last Tuesday for having stolena watch. The circumstances, as near as we could learn, are as follows: Neal called at the house of Charlies Voorhees, four miles south of thre town, iast Sunday evening, and desired to chop some wood to pay tor supper. Mr. V. informed him that it was Sunday, but, if he would goto the house, Mrs. Voorhees would give him something to eat. After eating his supper, Mr. V. asked him it he wanted work. Neal replied that he did, and that he would work for fifty cents perday. The consequence was that Mr. ¥V. iredhim. Me worked ail day Monday, but on Tuesday morning he arose very early, and, going into the room where a Mr. Waiker slept, he tound in Mr. W.’s pocket a silver watch and chain, which he carefully removed into his own, and skipped out. Mr. Walker missed his watch and started out hunt- ing the iad, andthe result was that he was capturec and locged in jail. A preliminary examination was held lIust Saturday betote ’squire Cockerell, who held him in bail to the tune of $300, in detault of which he will board with the Sheriff until the sitting of the ge jury, which will be in September. .of@ Sages a, eel MORNING NEWS TONDENSED.

The new road is really an exten- sion cf the lron Mountain, as it is intended that the two lines shalkbe operated together. by jooking at a map showing the present sys- tem of raitroads in Texas, it will be seen tliat the Jron Mountain must now depend matnly upon the Texas and Pacific, the Texas Central and the International and Great Noithern. The object of the new line is to take the richest cotton region of Texas, and thus avoid adouble haulto St. Louis. Wacoisa flourishing young city and is the northern tewminus ofa short branch of the Texas Cen- tral, this belngits only railroad outlet. The new road will bring it into direct communica- tiow with St. Louis, and will no adeubt induce much cotton of the surrounding region to come to. this market that bas heretofore gone to Galveston and New Orleans. With sucn avaluable ad- junct, the Jron Mountvin Railroad will become still more valuable to St. Louls,. and will be- come astill greater highway of trade for the mighty Southwest. It is often charged that (hicago is building her roads a!) around St. Louisa, and that this will finally become a by-station. ‘There is no danger of anything of the kind. St. Louis will maintain and improve her railroad system, and wiil have besides the Mississippi with an open mouth at the Gulf. t Sie re n1¢ to-day being more railroads bailt tor Louis than for Chicago. Tne Missouri r “acific is buiiding 400 miles of new roud through Kansas; the K.C. and Northern is building the Omaha extension, the st. Louis snd San Francisco is building a line to Wichita, and now comes a 200-mile extension ol the fron Mountain through the richest part oi TeXAs. These facts speak for themselves, and the cervoukers are respecfully invited to give them their respectiul attention. A Prize Fight. ratCondon appeared in the First District Police Court this morning, looking as though he had been to the Modoc country and left his scalp behindhim. Pat was charged with in- dulging in pugilistic pastimes, and Joe Forst, a very well-known St. Louis sport, was charged with the very sams ottense. It cropped out in. the evidence that Condon was a member of the Ciristv Burns Tenth street gang, andthat hoe had, on Satur- day jast, bad words with Forst. Tho latter, at that time, wanted to settle the dispute with bare bands, but Officer Lar- iy Kickbam huppened ulong and knocked this way of doing business in the pead. Thetwo men, when parting, indulged in all manner of threats against each other As vood or bade luck would have it, they met again at about 5 ?) ‘clock this morning, and Condon drew ae knife and threatened to cut the heart out of Forst. The latter is much the smaller mnan of thetwo, but, notwithstanding this fact, he suggested that they retire toa vacant lotin the vicinity of Ninth and Spruce streets and settle the question as to who wis the better man of the two, according to the a of Queensbury'’s rules. Condon accepted the proposition, and the two were soon strip eed in ring style and facingeach other. Ten rounds were fought, the little one knocking the liie nearly out of his burly antagonist. In the cieventi round Forst yot © ondon: head in chancery and te: him till he ,elled peccari. Officers 1! and stock appeared on the scene about tii time and took both menintocustody. T! case wis continued. = ’ 4 , oe) 3 iG Nick nae Troubles, Nick Ducan and his once beloved wifé Mary fell ont three months ago, and since then Mary hashoced herownroyw. On Saturday evening Nick called on Mary for the purpose of securing n set of harness which his wife nad in her pessession,and which belonged to him.

Under the caption **Attempted Assassimition’* is added the fol- lowing: Ilarding. of the Herald, Enters Qur Home on a (duiet Sabbath Evening Without Cer- emouy, Revolver in Hand, Which is And Attempts to Kill Us in the Bosom of Our ’ Family—We Grapple with the Would- be Murderer—lle is a Hercules. ife Dragged Us Into the “Yard, Where He Was Arrested. A second attempt was 4 made by Harding on Mr. Light’s life, and he again speaks of **the deadly aim taken at us.’* The slight excuse which exists for the use by newspapers of the pronoun inthe second person plural disap- pears entirely in such cases as Mr. Light's. tmust not be forgotten, however, that the local editor, the devil and all the human et ectcra of a country newspaper is each a *twe,’? and the chief charm of newspaper ex- istence would be lost to every one of them if be wasn't permitted the use of the profession- al pronoun. a ; To mothers whose chile ivens are : weepine.: Sweet and balmy slumber secured for the lit- tle ones, and coughs and colds rapidly ban- ished by the use of Dr. Bull’s Cough Svrrup.

An expen- diture of $10,000,000 and a labor which has extended over twenty-four years have sufficed for tne making of atunnel and the erection of other works, and the lake is now onlya small catchment basin, which effectually drains the surrounding district, leaving about 35,000 acres. of the finest urable land, on which the busbandman can exercise his skill witbout -fear of an inundation sweeping his homestead and his _farm into trretrievable ruin. The drainage of Lake Fucina will hencetorth take its place as one of the wonders ot the world, ung it is to be hoped that Prince Torlonia may Jong live to enjoy the fruits of his enter- prise and perseverance. ee cet eeeenenes Yor Rheumatism and Neuralgia vo'toa drug stere and ask for ‘‘Brown’'s Household Panacea,*’ a world-famed article, ~“ cents and 50 cents a bottle.

The Gray & Baker Book and Stationery Company is a corporation. I subscribed for $5,000 of its stock, paid forand received $2, - 500 stock ; balance of stock subscribed,$2,500, Igave my note and pledged my paid up stock, for I became unable ‘to meet this note, and proposed to the compan) to surrender the un- stock upon the delivery of my note, which the company by a resolution of the toard)§ agreed to, and the note and stock were respectively currendered by oneto the other. The Gray & Beker company has pretended without the consent of many of the steckholders to sell out its assets to the fiugh Hildreth Co, for stock ot the Bildreth Co. through the contrivance of K.P.

The money market ta-day exhibited no fea- ’ : tures of any special interest, the principal characteristic being a continued prevailing dullness. The ordinary routine applications for discount were made, based mainly on business names. Shipping bills were in light offering ail reund.

Transactions in securities were tairly active, ' in E. atsame, 1 cardoatsl il, 1 the bulk of business being confined to active speculative shares. Western Union, which has occupied a prominent position for several days opened off from the Saturday closing, strengthened up later, and by 1 o'clock had reached almost 113. Raflways generally were active. Kansas Pacftic June bonds sold at 118's, land grants 119@'‘;. Denverex- tensions 1U2%. Kansas City and Northern oreterred 43%; @437,, common 164%.
