Lubke and others have entered motions for executions against the Lilinois and St. Louis Bridge Company, George and John Knapp, stockholders. This is an important suit, all the points of which may be gained in the following lucid and lenzthy opinion deliv- ered by Judge Wickham in Court Room No, 2: This is a motion for an execution against George and John Knapp as stockholders in the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Company on the ground that their subscription of 250 shares ($25,000) to the capital stock of that corporation has not been paid upin full, but that the first 3,000 of this subscription was neverin fact paid, the defendants, George and John Knapp, having im- properly and fraudulently received a credit on the bocks of the compuny for that amount in accordance with a resolution of the Execu- tive Committee ofthe Board of Directors of the company. passed May 27, 1869, to the efiect that $5.000 full paid stock, which had Leen credited to John Knapp, as per letter of September 30, 1867, on file in the office of the compeny, should be credited to the joint subscription of George and John Knapp for $25,000, as cash paid on amount of said sub- scription. The preliminary facts the recovery of two judgments against the company in 1875, and that executions thereon were issued and returned nulla bona, and that the Messrs. Knapp, at the time of the issue and return of the executions, held and owned 2A) shares ($25,000) of the capital stock of the corporation, are admitted on an agreed state- ment of facts. It is also admitted, as I un- derstand, thatthis amount of $25,000 is fully paid up (for the purposes of this action) ex- cept tne first $5,000, credited as aforesaid. tappears from the coincidence that Mr. Jobn Knapp, at first, was one of fifteen per- sons Who took $20,000 each of the stock in the bridge company to make the required amount of $300,000 necessary toa legal organization ofthe company. This subsc:iption was sub- sequently enlarged to $25,000, and transferred to the joint names ofthe defendants, George end John Knuapp. The original sub- scription of $20 ,000 was abso- lute and unconditional on its face; but on the same day and as partof the same transaction the president of the company gave io John Knapp a written stipulation that this tubecription was made upon condition that the first $5,000 thereof was to be deemed as paid in full, and that hissubscription might after- wards, at his option, be in arte to $5,000 in all. This option to reduce the subscription to $5,000 was never exercised, but on the con- trary the subscription was subsequently in- creased to $25,000, as stated above. The testimouy of Mr. John Knapp proves beyond controversy that be had an understand- ing with the officers of the company, by the terms of which he was to be allowed $5,000) as a credit on his subscription tostock, in con- sideration of services rendered and to be ren- dered by his newspaper, the Republic.n, ia publishing statistical articles, advocating th- merits of the bridge and the advantaze it would be to St. Louis. Also, that these ser- vices were actually rendered to the company, und that they were fully wortu the sum of $5,000 and would have cost more than that rum if inserted without this avreement. 1. lt is conicnded on the part of plaintiffs of . - that this evidence is incompetent and inad- missible, as tesding to vary, alterandadd to the terms of the written con- tract contained in the two letters Sept.50, 1867. But this positionJis untenab'e. for the reuson that such testimony dves not tend tovary the terms and effect of such avgreement, but merely shows the actual con- sideration on which it was based. This clearly competent and within the scope province of parol testimony. 2. It iscontended by pluintiffsin the second place that Mr. Knapp’s testimony fails to prove any contract for the services of the Republican that the court can take cogni- zance of. and that it is impossible from the testimony to fix the value of the services. Here again I am forced to differ from tae view taken by plaintiff’s counsel. The testimony already shows that the services were of actual value to the company, in an amount at least to the credit given for them of $5,000, It is competent for a to pay, and fora corporation to accept in pay- went for stock, in labor, material or services rendered, provided the transaction is eutered into and carried out in govod faith: and no pre- sumption alises that they are otherwise from the mere fact that the subscription is not paidin money. There is no evidence tending to show that there was any fraud or bad faith ip the arrangement, and I believe none such is deemed to exist. As to the value of the services rendered it might be added that the officers and directors are the best judges both of the necessity for and the value of the services rendered, and their action in this re- gard can not be called in question, provided they act in good faith and = exercise a proper discretion and honest judgment. Tl. at the directors, acting as trustees of the company, approved of this, there can be no doubt. 4. It is contended, thirdly, by plaintiffs that the contract with the Knoxupps was void in law, as being a conditional subscription to stock, on a secret bargain with the officers of the company, aud on terms different from those required of the other stockholders, and thus operated as a fraud up- on the latter. Had they the right to reduce the smount of stock subscribed from $25,000 to $50,000, there would be much force in ths objection, but it is admitted that this right Lever was exercised by the Knapps; on the contrary, the subscription was subsequently increased to $25,000. There was no fraud in this, and it would not operate to the injury of the other stockholders. Asto the agreement to receive ple of $5,000 in services rendered by the Republican, itis apparent from what has been said that this might be in accord with the most perfect good faith. 4. Itis contended inthe fourth place and lastly by plaintiffs, that the alleged contract is void in law as being against public policy and fair dealing. This objection is ably urged, but the principle invoked can scarcely be said to be applicable tothe case at bar. Public journals use their eolumns and influence for the legitimate purpose of earning money, and this fuct is well knownto the community at large. It was absolutely necessary for the Bridge Company to have the inesns of reaching the public ear, and neither the company nor the public expect this facility to be granted to them gratuitously.nor is it likely that the pub- lic at lurge is deceived by such use of the pub- lie press. e e This being the views of the Court, it follows that plaintiff’s motions for executions must be overluicd., Is and Price of Coal.

Krisger, Sr.’s, Talk About His Son’s Im- moral Habits-—-Interesting Facts Connected With the Failure. The taking of depositions for the plaintiffs in the case of Wolfort & Reilly vs. the Di- rectors of the Broadway Sayings Bank was continued in the office of R. S. MacDonald. attorney for the plaintiffs, before Notary C. F. Betts, this morning, commencing at half-past 11 o’ clock. The examinatien of Mr. James Johnson was continued, and he testified, in substance, as follows: My opinion is that the cause of the suspension of the Broadway Bank was the drawing of money by Goldasoll. If Goldsoll had not drawn so much money the bank would have kept open. There are some things Henry Gross has said to me that I did not give in my testimony Sat- urday. About a year ago he spoke to me about Krieger, Jr., being so down-hearted at times, because, as he said, bis father was meddling in his business. I said that he should not be so worried by his father. Gross said that was what he had told Krieger, Jr., for if he had dove no wrong, as he had not, he would not be annoyed by his father 80.

I do not think there Was arenewal of Fletcher’s payer—the security was a deed of truston some proper- tv. I believe this and aa overdraft of $4.000 or so were both lost at Fletch- er’s last failure. The deed of trust was a second mortg.ge, and the shrinkage in vy: lues made the property not worth more thap tie tirst mortgage.

Cross-examination by Mr. Patrick: @.—Who were the directors at the time of the bank’s suspensio«? A.—[ the names given by witness were the same as already pub- lished.] -Mr. Zelle was in the board, bu: he resigned some time ago. I did not know that Goldsoll owed the bank a dvllar till the even- ing of the suspension. Q.—Dbo you know that any of the members of the Board ef Directors. except Krieger, Sr., Morris Lyons and H.B.Poorman, kuew that Mayer Goldsoll kept an account with the Broadway Sevings Bank and was overdrawn? A.—I do not, Q.—Of this you are quite positive? A.—Yes, sir, I am quite positive of that. q.—W hen did you first learn that Krieger, Sr., and Morris Lyons knew:that Goldsoll was overdrawn? A.—After banking hours on the 21st of May —the day of suspension. ().—W ho notified you to attend the meeting of directors on the evening of that day? A.— The young man from the bank, John Krieger. He came to me at the stable and told me THEY WANTED ME AT THE BANK. .—Who were present at that meting? A.—J. Philip Kneger, Sr.,Jumes Lighthold- er, Augustus Rode, Henry Overmoelier, my- self, H. B. Poorman, Morris Lyous,John Ro- han and H. Houghton. Q.—Who presided at that meeting? A.— Krieger, Sr. ©.—W ho stated the object of the meeting? A.—Kriever, Sr. Goldsoll got all this money. He said $50,000 or $60,000 of it were overdrafts that they had thrown away as worthless at the examination on the 8th of April, but that the books showed that the bank had a eredit of $48,000 at the Hanover’ Bank, New York. He had written on and found that we had only $400 or $500 there to the credit of our bank, the balance being worth- less Goldsoll paper. We hada great deal of talk among ourselves. ; Mr. Patrick—Just state what was said. Witness—Each and every one of us was in favor of closing up—that where there was a cise like the Hanover Bank, there was liable to be more, aud we wanted things out of the hauds of young Krieger. 1 do not know the date of the Hanover Bank entry. Morris Lyons was the first one to speak to me about THE GOLDSOLL OVERDRAFTS tbat had been discovered in the examination of Aprils. He said Goldsoll had $110,000 or $111,000 of our money, and that Goldsvll had broken the bank. ().—Do you know when the Hanover Bank transaction was discovered by Krieger, Sr.’ A.—lIl do not. q.—Do you know when Mr. Morris Lyons first heard of the Hanover Bank transaction? A.—I do not. @.—Doyou know when Mr. Poorman first heard of it? A.—I do not. Q.—What was tbe course of Mr. Poor- men, as a director, in watching the affairs of the bank, as far as his conduct was under your observations A.—He was one of the ny st careiul, prudent and upright men I ever raw. ().—When did Morris Lyons become con- nected with the board? A.—At the January election, tbe first or second Tuesday in the month. He had never been a director before that time, ().—Was he in any business before that time? A.—Hetuld me he was in no busi- Less, ().—What was his course as a directorin caring for and protecting theinterests of the vank, so fur as his conduct came under vour observation? A.—lLle Was very active and of- ficious, and Was at the bank nearly every time I went there. He was remarkably cau- tious. His doctrine Was that the bank should do a smaller business and a safer one. ().—Do you know whether any steps were taken by the bank management to reduce Goldsvll’s indebtedness into good paper oa shoit time? A.—On the night of the suspen- sion, Krieger, Sr., told me that they had got the overdraft that was discovered April made into three pieces of paper, and one had fallen due and was not paid. Q.—Anjthing said about these notes being endorsed’ A.—My impression is they were er orsed but the endorser was about the same Goldsoll. @.—Was the Investigating Committee of April 8th a regular committee or special com- mittee appointed by the ~»board or self-organized?

The Chairappointed the committee about the Ist of April and the committee was going to make such an examination as was never made before. Ou the night of the sus- pension of the bank the committee said that, with the loss of the $50,000 or $60,000 of Goldsoll paper and other bad debts they ha‘ thrown out April 8, the bank was still able to go on aud do busiress and that the stock would be worth *12hashere, but that the Hanover Bauk transaction CHANGED THE WHOLE ASPECT and they d.d cot see anything to do but wind up. notified me that they wanted me to | Sr., one day, he complained of Krie- | ' enfined to the Broadway beard in the board that it was customary in | the i J.P. | two | the faiiure. | time in IS78. | Banks, ond intimated that | for the benefit of the Broadway Bank. | Thirteenth street.

A.—Since Gross told me himself. Some when the board was discussing the reduction of salaries, one of the members spoke of Gross and Krieger, Jr., having lost money in fighting the Mulianphyand Hibernia it had been done ().—Who intimated it? A.—lI think it was Kricger, Sr. Obermoeller spoke up at the time and said we did not want anything of the kind: that Gross had got to be a nuisance by meddling outside. ().— Was anvthing intimated at that time that Gross and Krieger, Jr.’s, transiections in Hibernia and Mullanphy bank stocks had been | made with the money of the Broadway Say- ings Bank? A.—No. @.—Why did you make an assignment so | quickly after dixcevering the condition of af- | fairs? } A.—We were under the tmpression that we could not open in the morning. and receive deposits, knowing‘our condition. without committing an unlawful act. QY.—Did you take legal advice? A.—Not that night. The papers were drawn up the nextmerning by Mr. Lubke. We,transferred everything connected with the bank to Mr. Die: berger, the a signee, for the benefit of he creditors. We dil uot bring suit against Guidsolk because it was Dierberger’s place to do +o. Ex: mination closed; adjourned till 4 o’ clock this afternoon, A Depositor Makes an Assignment. Attorney Thomas S. Hogan this morning made an assignment of the grocery stock and a deposit of $1,300 in the Broadway Savings Bank for James P. Dowling, of No. 1225 West Dowling, prier to the fail- ure of the bank, was doing a first-ciass busi- ness, but, owing to having deposited all his spare funds inthe bank, he found it impossi- ble, after the failure, to con- tinue business, owing to the lack offunds. This morning,becoming disgusted with the press of creditors who were unwill- ing to wait or give him time to meet his pay- ments he conferred with his attorney, Mr. Hogan, who advised him to make an assign- ment for the benefit of his creditors which sugeestion Was at once acted upon. Mr. Er- nest Keisker, a prominent St. Louis grocer, Was made assignee. What Stock Will Do. The rumor is flying about the city that Mr. Stock will not file a bond as assignee of the sroadway Savings. Mr. D’Arcy, a gentleman who is conversant with all the facts in the case, told a reporter that Mr. Stoca would not come to a eonclusion in the matter until between 5 and 6 o’clock this evening. He says, as eversbody knows, that Mr. Stock is abundantly able to file a bond; that is not the question at all.§ Mr. Stock himself said _ that he had promised his __ frieads that he would say nothing until evening.

Full Biography of the Departed Hero—His Life as a Warrior and Statesman. The Hero Gone. By Western Associated Press. OTTUMWA, I1a., June 2.—General James Shields, late United States Senator from Mis- souri, died suddenly in this city at 10:30 last evening. On the Sabbath day he ap- peared in his usual health, ate a hearty sup- per at 6 o’clock and wrote several letters, but just before retiring he complained of a pain in the chest and soon thereafter said to. his niece HE WAS DYING, and in thirty minutes expired sitting in his chair, remaining conscious to the last. He lectured in this city on Wednesday last, and had remained here visiting his relatives. His remains leave here for his home in Carrollton, Missouri, at 5 o’clock this evening. Life of General Shields. General Jainés Shieids was born at a place called Altmory, in tl e county Tyrone, Ireland, inthe year 1810. His mother was early left a widow with three boys on her hands, and with sufficient means to educate and rearthem up in arespectabie nanner. James, the eldest, early aave evidence of great energy and actiy- ity. Before he arrived at the age ot sixteen he bad made hiuiself a good English scholar,a good mathewatician, and had acquired a tolera>ie knowledge of the classics and French lan- guage. At that age he left bis home and came to the United States. In 1532 he emigratea ¢» I}lincis and commenced the practice of law in Randolpb County, meeting with some success. In 1535 he wus elected to the Legislature from Kandolph County. Here,in ‘OLD VANDALIA,’’ he tirst became acquainted with Abraham Lin- coln, Stepben A. Douglas, John J. Hardin, Ed- ward Baker and many otbers, who have since ngured inthe public bistory of the country. In 1840 he was elected State Auditor, and dis- charged the duties of that important pusition with such efficiency und success that he was upanimou-ly re-elected by both parties—Whigs and Die mecrats. Dougias, about the same time, was made secretary of State, so that these two fast friends were once more associated together in public life. In 1846 he was appointed a Judge ol the Supreme Court, s0 thaton the Supreme bench the two frieuus eame cugerher again, When Jumes K. Polk Was President om ~— United States he appointed Gen. Sields Cote wi-~sioner Of the General Land Office, and npeein bs and Dougias came together, Douglas, » themeantime, Daving been elected to Con- gress. As Coluissioner of the General Land Office, Gen. Shieids won the respect and ad- tuivation of ail parties by his strict integrity, ipcustry and consummate ability. ¥ arsoon broke out with Mexico, and he was | of Gen. Santa Anna ecwplisbed with such interpidity and consam- 3 diflicuitics will be discussed, eppcinted Brigadier-General, aud assigned to the command vt the Illinois volunteers. He served under General ‘laylor on the Rio Grende; under General Wool in his compaign acainst Chihuahua, and next under General scott, when ne entered on his campaign for the capture of the Oity of Mexico. At the sie.e of Vera Cruz he distinguixbed him- seif for activity, @ ergy and tearlesgn +s. After the tall of Vera Cruz the Ameri- can urmy, under General Scotr, had to epeounter the whole MexXican arniv at Cerro Gords, the strongest natural position on the continent. Uere Gen. Siiel is was as-igned to atteck the Me xicunp reserve underthe command in person. Thuis he ac- mate skill that he fuiriy surprised the Mcxicin joree and sweptthem before him, carrving a battery of six pieces of Cannon at the point of Slit brye net. Unfortunately betore ths bat- tery he received A TERRIBL’ WOUND, deemed at the time mortui—a yrape-shnot, hav- ing punctured his rizbt lung, tore through his becy and passed out near the spine. Tu the surprise of everybody ano the astonishment of the medical staff of the ariny, inten weeks he was again in the sxddie and atthe head of his commend. He entered the Vulley of Mexic» with the American army—his bDrigade consist- inzx ot the New York volunteers, the Palmettos, of South Carolina, and a bat- talion of United Stites Marines. The first buttle fought in the valley was that of Contreras, where the enemy were strongly posted within their intrenchiments. General Persiter Smith was sent against themin the af- ternoon and Geneaal Shiclds was sent to join him tlhe same nigit, and being senior in rank wes entitled to tuke command, but fading that General Smith had made his dispositions to nake un attack upon the cnemy niont caybrenk, and approving of the anmangements, he deciined to _ de- poive Gen. Smith of the honor of the achteve- rent. He served under him next morning and xided him essentially in the attack, which was eminently succe-stal. This was AN ACT OF SOLDIERLY MAGNANIMITY ot which there sre very few examples. The beXt Gnuy was fought the battle of Churubusco, which was oneof the most bloody engayge- n«entsefthe war. In this battleGon. Shields wis us-ivgned the command of a division, and a; pointed again to itiack the M->-xican le-erve, under his old antazonist, Gen. Santa Anna. Tois he uccom- plished with rapid and feariess audacity, and, niihough the enemy were five to one, he car- ried their position, captured their artiliery and arove them, breken and shattered, into the “tv of Meaico. But this daring exploit cost him the iives of some of his bravest offi ers and about one-third of his entire command. The galiont snd noble Palmetto regiment lost half ‘'t- nu ber in killed and wounded On that bicody fleid. Neat -veceeted ihe storming of Chepultepee. Inthis he was again seriously wounded, amusketialbaving torn through his arm, passing out near the elbow. Not- withstanding the wound he pursued the eneing to the very gates ofthe city, having bis horse shot under him. THE CAPTURE OF THE CITY followed, und, peace being soon after eonclud- ed, he returned bome to Iuinols. ‘Lhe next year, 1849, Winois, ia gratitude for his gullunt services, returned him toe the Sen- ate ot the United States. In that body the and Douglas met again as colleazues. He bad the pride and satistaction of serving six years in the Senare of the United States. with Webster, Calhoun, Clay, Benton and Cass. He had the yood fortune to be highly respereted in that pody, und retired from it with,the reputation of an honest man and an able and efficient senxtor. He next emigrateld to Minuesota, which, on becoming a State, elected him one of its Senators- lt was hi-+ fomtune to draw the short term, 80 threat he only served two years from thae Sate. The Min- nesotu climate proving too severe for hin, he made a trip to Catiforniu, where he married his present wile, remaining ip the State a couple of years. The war of tbe soveliion broke out willie he wis scjourning iy California. He was again appointed Brigacier-General and tele- grepbed for by the War Department. On nis arrivalin Washington be was sas-igued to the command of THE ARMY OF WESTERN VIRGINIA. With this army he entered the *Shenandoah Vahey an wus encountered by Genersl] Stonewall Jackson between Win- chester and Kernstewn. The forces on this occnion were nearly equal, Jacksen excelied giestiyin cavairy~Shields in artillery—while tle infentry force on each side was about equal, The battie wasa tierce one. The gom- man ers were well mutched—both skillful and fark se. After several bours’ ha iting, the Confederates gave way about dark, netreat- iug about six miles trom the fleld, and leaving " forse peumber of wounded and prison- ers inthe hands of the Federals. Some time alter anotber engagement took place between & portion of Shields’ comman’ and Gen. Jack- son at a place called Port Repuvlke, where the Fedcrais were ronted, leaving several pieces of cannon and a namber of prisonegs in the hands of the Confederates. Shields, with the mato body of his command, was naa there. He was lying ata place called Luray. He dispatohed a pert of two brigades to bura the bridge at Luray, to prevent Jackson from crossing until he shoul-i arvive with the wain body. ‘The commanders, thinking to distin- guish themselves in his absence, risked an ac- tion, and were badly beaten. Gen. Shields, i treatment atthe hands of the extreme men who then ruled at Washington, requested his old friend, the President, totake him out of the field and send bim to California, which the President with a good deal of retuctance con- sented todo. He remained in Ualifornia till the war closed, when be returned to the Eust und selected the State of Missouri for a per:na- nentresidence. In-i874 he represented Uar- roll county in the State Lomslature. Last January be was elected United States Senator tor Missouri for the short term of six weeks te succeed Senator Armstrong, who hud bt en appointed by the Governor to fill the Vacancy caused by the death of Senator Bogy. After sitting in the Senate for six weexs, Gen- eral Shields returned from Washing- ton and was tendered 7 maguificent reception at Jefferson City. On that occasion be eddressed the State Representatives and Senxstors in the hallof the House. Tuis was bis last puvlic speech, and it was an eloquent pies for harmony and conciliation. The feliow- ng is an extract from it: My term of service in the Senate was very brief, but stillit was long enough to give me time and opportunity to scan the present po- litical horizon. lobserved with some auxiety that there is one dark cloud visible in that re- gion. The cloud [refer to is not only dark,but isclarged with rome elements of future dan- ger to this Republie. SECTIONAL PREJUDICE. The danger isicund in seetional prejadice, sectionaiantipailiy and sectional animosity, and m\ gre:.t fear is that time will har len these tt lings into deep-seated sectional hostility. My ‘@:sens for this apprehension are ,these: Twenty years ago, in the year 1859,I satin the Ss nete of the United States, representing in part,atthat time, the young and prospering State ol Minnesota. ‘The wli-ub- so. bing question of thut day was a sectional question, the question of slavery. This qucs- tion wasthben calied the ‘‘irrepressibie .con- flict.’’ That question inflamed political pas- sions, @bstructe:! general legislation, and con- tributed to peralyze the energies of the Gov- ernment. Allthe evils of that conflict were clarged upon slavery at thattime, and philan thropists declared thatif slavery were once abolished, all conflict between the North and South would terminate forever. Well, after a lupse of twenty years, | entered the Senate once more. Isat in that body again, repre- senting ip part, at this time, the great and growing State of Missouri. A wonderful change had passed over the whole land in the meantime. I found the Senate changed, the UOapital changed: in fact, the whole country changed, and that sluvery, as an evil, had ceased to exist. But there was one thing that change had left un- touched; the irrepressible conflict confronted me still; the ‘‘sectionaul contest’’ betweer the North and South was asfierce asever. I asked myself then, in theSenute in Washington, and lask myself nowin this Capitol in Jefferson City: Isthis unnatural, unnational @ad un- American conflict to goon forever? Will it never come to an end? Will the American people never be permitted to live together im peace and harmony? The American people as a whole are deeply injured by this conflict. To them it is productive ot nothing but uumitigated evil. No people on earth ure better fitted by nature to live toweth- er in amity. They are children of the same soil, citizens of the same Kepublic, and heirs ofthe same destiny, and, in spite of their di- yisions and dissensions, and even in spie ~ of-.thamsgelves, they will have to su!m:t to the Sime “testiny so long as a rpubiican yvovernment lasts in Au-etica. There are not two destinies murked out by fortune for this peopie, one fer the North and another for the South. A PLEA FOR HARMONY. The North and South must go up together or down together. Providence has bound them together by chains forged by nature, which are as hard as adamant and as strong as iron. If, in an access of madness, this people ever break these chains, they willall go vown to- gether. North and Suuth, East and West, will al) sink Gown together to the dead ievel of the other unfortunate Republics of this continent. Hut there are px lL tica) leaders who tell us that one of the causes of this sectional struggle is a ‘*solid South.’’ It ought not to be forgotten, however, thut the Souti bas been compeiled by circumstances to become = svlid, in selt-defense; that the Southern peo- ple considered it their dutyto unite to suave themselves and their families from what they regarded as moral, social an‘ political degrad- ation. Then there are statesmen, and able statesmen, too, who look upon the solid South as something honorable at this time to Amer- wan character. Tuey think it demonstrates to the world that the grand old American spirit still lives amongst the American people. They say that the spirit of 1776, which united the thirtcen colo- niesintoa sold America against tne threat- ened injustice of Englant, isthe spirit of 1879 which unites the southern States into a solid South aguinst threatened injustice trom any quarter. So long asthis spirit lives amongst cur people, so jong will we be abie to present | a solid America against all enemies,und # solid | America,if true to itself, will be ulways able | tu bid deflance tothe combined powers of a | hostile worid, Butt my notion Southern ba- | man Sorthern human | and remanded. nature 46 the sqme in all respects as nature. Ineaui¢g and injury produce alienation and ntent, waile kind- | ness and confidence iasure eonciiia good will. Would it not he well, therefore, to Lazard the experiment of treating the southern pr ople, tor some time at least, with kindness und confidence, and with that whieh is due even to the South—common justice. The fre- ult, in my Opinion, would fully justify the ex- periment. Afrer the reception Gen. Shields returned to bis home at Carrollton.

The Congress has recommended that of each country daily synoptic weather charts be made or study, as has been the daily practice tracks should be traced; weather notices givem to farmers; winds, temperatures, ete., studied by the month and by the year; instru- / ments ac a'l stations compared with each oth- er; the general march of weather phenomena over the surface of the globe noted; uniformi- ty of obserVation sought for, and other pro- cedures, as haslong been the customany plaa on this side of the Atlantic. There are eyvi- dences of progress in this. On the subject of observetions actually sim- ultuneous, first eriginated and practically put in use by the United States in 1870, and the b.isix «f observation on which the greatest «'- vances and success have been made by this country, it was resolved ‘*that the Congrew is of the opinion that the development of simul- taneous observations contributes much to the progress of meteorology, and that ail works which ore undertaken in this direction ought t» be encouraged.’’ The publicstions of the Signal Office, such ax the ge ge | Weather Keview, with the synoptic and international weather charts, were referred to with approval, and with the recommendation ‘‘that the Congress is of opinion that the publication of a similar re- view would contribute much to the advance- ment of meteorological study, and is therefore recommended to be made for Europe.’’ There can be no higher compliment. Finally, the Congress asks that the stations as Mount Wasbington and Pike’s Peak (the highest station on the earth) may be main- tained; making even more observations thas those now attempted, and that all the observ- ations may be published for the use of all meteorologists everywhere, as an approval of those stations, the utility of which was once questioned. This is i: teresting. It is on these points only tua fhe acts of the Congress have anv special reterence t» ine meteorological wi rk of the United States. It is satisfactory to notice so much of ap- proval and adeption and so general awish for the continuance and extension of it. The Congress made no practical suggestions as to weather predictions in Europe, « matter which it woule seem —_ have beeu arrang- ed with wery li tle difficulty. -— — The St. Louls Club.

rated Indian Cave property; afterwards Papin & Bro. sold the estate of Maj. Wm. H. Bell, near Kimmewick, followed by the sale of a tract nearer the barracks, for accoustof the late venerable Henry Von Phul. These sales, even at times of general business dearth, were all largely atterded, and went off spiritediy; the explanation of their success lying, we tuke it, in tne exceptional character of the river and bluff sites and the limited quan- tity ofthem. The Blow or ‘‘Clifton Heights’’ property has heretofore been held in favor as the cream of the Bluff Region, and we suppose it will attract a large crowd ot city buyers. Col. Soper, Superintendent of the Iron Moun- tain Road, has offered to hitch on an extra car for the special accommodation of the ladics, a number of gentlemen having signified their in- tention of bringing their wives along at the sale. The train will leave corner of Main and Plum streets exactly at 10:30 a. m. to-morrow. Buyers should be prowptif they do not want to be left. REED's Gilt Kdge Tonle strengthen ns s the system. FISHER’S FATE. Stabbed in an Alley Late Last Night, He Dies Shortly After. Joe Fisher, thirty-five years of age, as the ace of spades, and a burglar by sion, was stabbed tothe heart by some un- known party, back of No. 1325 Nortb Sixth street, a continuation of Clabber black profes- alley, shortly after 11 o’clock last night. He was found there gasping his last by Officer Jacques at 11:20 o’clock, and the body was conveyed to the Morgue by an ambulance Witbin a very few minutes. His wounds numbered three and bad evident- ly been inflicted with a heavy pocket-knife. One had entered just below and tothe left of the left nipple and penetrated the heart; was well down the left of the abdomen extending into cavity, and the last was in the right side of the back, near the spinal column. All three had been heavy blows, and either would have, in al] probability, proved fatal. side A number of negroes had _ gathered | around the body when found, and | the majority of them stated that a death cry had attracted their attention. None knew whohad committed the deed, or | at least pretended that they did not, and for ten || to get out his revolver the result would have | been the same, as the heavy instrument was in his hip-pocket, and his storm coat closely buttoned, es At police headquarters this morning the | general opinion. prevails that Sanders crossed the river shortly after doing his mur- derous work. It matters but little to him where he goes, as, having been long socially ostracised,and now with innocent blood upon his head he will endeavor to put as many miles between himself and St. Louis as possible. Hehas nothing to fear from his associates, as they are allof the stripe who enjoy nothing so much as the death | ' “ae P 107 ~ | preme Court and three Circuit Judges. of a policeman, but his phiz is too familiar to aye of his showing it onthe streets either vy night or by day. A description ofhim has been t-legraphed to all ofthe adjoining cities, and with several good detectives employed on the case, his capture is but a matter of a little time. ‘The dead offlicer’s remains are resting at the undertaking establishment of Schiele & Sons., from whence they will be buried after the in- quest by the Police Department in state. The features are but little changed, and onlya purplis sh hue about the eyes and close drawn lines at the corners of the mouth are allthat is noticeable to a casual observer Which slumber. MRS. MARTIN’S STATEMENT, A call was made by a PostT-DIsSPATCH re- porter this morning at the Maitin residence, No. 505 Marion street, with the object of ascer- taining something further as to whit transpired between Sanders and his sistes, Mrs. Sophie Martin, prior to the tragedy. Mrs. Martin, who is a woman below medium stature and of very fair complexion was very reticent as to the trouble between herself and brother, and her husband, a dapper little French- man, held that more than enough had already been said about the matter. Mrs. Martin’s eyes were red and tear-swollen, and _ short story was told between sobs as fol- OWS: **Tam five years older than my brother, and bave long endeavored to hare nuthing to do with him, as he was fuch a bad man. Since my father died, last April, I had not seen _ until he came to our gate between 6 and 7 o’clock yesterday evening. and leaned over, looking into the yard, He was in his _ shirt sleeves, sand I cannot say whether he had on a bator not. Icould see that he had been drinking. and he looked as if he meant to do something desperate. He called to my hus- band and said: ‘Leon, ain’t you going toask me to come in?’ My husband said: ‘No; you are a bad man, and neither I nor Sophie (meaning me) want you here.’ Then Charley drew out a revolver from his pocket, itwasabran new one, and said: ‘Well, Iam comingin. I have just come back from a river trip,.-and am going to pay you a visit.’ Ithen went out into the yard and said: ‘Charley, you have come down here to shoot some one. You have wanted to kill somebody for along time, so now you can just shoot me, your sister. He looked at me, curious like, us if thinking whether he would sboot or not, and then Officer Printz came down the street. Says I ‘Go away now, Charley there is Officer Printez ‘I don’t care,’ he answered; the has arrested me many a time but he will never do it —— No man shall arrest me to-day.’ *rintz came up and _= =~said, ‘Hello, Charley, where have you been for so long?’ Lcould not cateh the answer, but Charley jumped back, the officer grabbed athim, und then Charley shot. The officer then struck at him with his club, and Charley shot again, and the officer feil und he ran off.’’ ‘*What was the trouble between you and Chuarley?’’ ‘*Oh, I can’t tell that now. Ww as it xbout the auth webct of your fath- er ’s extate?’’ xt exactly that, ll me for some ow that he did **] don’t know: no, it was but he had been wanting to time, wid . am almost sorry not do it.’ Nothing further was eetited, and the re- porter fed himself o@, leaving the poor would betoken else than a natural | sea, until had a mistress, the police were at that he with his a few minutes they learned terrible row Louisa Tansey, during the evening. Further on it was learned that between 10 and 11 o’clock he had ealled at her denin the rear of 1c3lin the same alley, when the quarrel was rereated anu he was eject- ed from the house by several parties who were present, ard that a number of them had followed him out into the alley, where be received the fatal blows. Tose who were in the house when Joe called last were Floyd Walton, alias Flving Jennie, Nel- son Claggett, John H. Cooper, Geo. Arndt aud Mary and Louise Tansey, all colored,who were arrested on suspicion of having been either guilty or impli a'ed intbe murder, and locked up at the Third District Station. They unite in protesting their innocence of the affair, and further deyelopments are in order. An i:-quest wiil be heid over Fisher’s re- mains to-morrow, when something further may come to light. East St. Louis. Another election day in East St. Louis makes things appear a little less dead upon its streets. To-day tbe voters exercised them- selves upon the election of a Judge of the Su- To-day a general election of judicial officers throughout the State is held. Five of the seven Judges of the Supreme Court areJfto be snperseded for aterm of nine vears by those elected in their places. The two Judges who hold over are Judge Walker, of Rushville, and Judge Craig, of Princeton. The candidates for a place on the ee bench in -the district to which East . Louis belongs are: J. H. Mulkey, of C ive! and E. B. Green, of Metropohs. Mul- key seems to be the favorite in East St. Louis with both factions. The Circuit Judges to be elected are for six years each. There are fourteen judi- cial circuits in the State. Cook County forms one byit-elf, witha bench of five Judges All the counties together are divided nto thirteen circuits, with three Jucgzes to each, East St. Louis is part of the Third Judicial Circuit, composed of Bond, Madison, St. Claif, Marion. Clinton. Washington. Monroe, Randolph and Perry counties. The incuinbents of this circuit are Judges George W. Wall, of DuQuoin, Wm. H. Sny- der, of Be levalle, and Amos Watts, of Nash- ville, and candidate for re- -election. The other candidates are John G. Irwin, of Edwards- ville, and John B. Hay and Chas. W. Thomas, rival candidates, both of Belleville. The Joyce party are making an effort to re- elect Judge Watts, while the Bowmanites have substitutedthe name of John B. Hay and are determined to defeat Judge Watts. The real reason of these efforts, as both parties admitted, is his action in the numer- ous cases that he bas passed on from East St. Louis. Four tickets were in the field, an election and a judiciai ticket, each bearing the names of all the candidates; a Vemocratie ju- dicial ticket, bearing the names of Mulkey, Watts, Ww all and Snyder, aud a judicial ticket corresponding to the Democratic with the exception that -Judye Watts’ name is replaced by that of Jno. B. Hay. Upto2 p. m. there were only 249 votes cust at Squire Noton’s ottice, which is the voting piace of the «irst and Second Wards. Only a case of plain drunk at the police sta- tion during the list twenty-four hours. The Jaccard Burglar Supyvused to be Caged. Chief of Police McDonough, four or five detectives, and Kugene Cuendet, proprietor of the Eugene Jac- card & Co. jewelry establishment, this morning attached their signatures to a warrant charging one Robert Boeppler with the larceny of $1,000 worth of jewelry on the 20th day of Muay last. Readers of the Post-Dispaicu will remember chow upon the above-mentioned date burglars en- tered the jeweiry establishment of Messrs. Eugene Jaccard & Co., and made away with a lot of jewelry. The entrance was made by removing a pane of giass from the transom in the roof, Ever since the aveurrence the detectives have been hunting for the perpetrator of the crooked work $ morping they must bave gotten hold of the tight man, es they have sworn out a warrant to the above effect. ~~. ee ee a SE ee gece 600 50,900, 72,333) 57.622 Oate ......! 52400! 44,900 85,760) 59,973 28,600) 20,100 .378 59.193 Burley....| 138.300, 45,400) 383,710) 145.195 Comparative Closing Vaiues of Leading Ar- cles at 1 P.
