Mathew Tibby, a Kansas Stock Man, Mangied to Death by a Freight Train. A sad accident, resulting in the instant death of Mathew Tibby, a stock man from Erie, Neosho County, Kas., took place at the intersection of Twenty-first street and the Missouri Pacific Railway shortly before 6 o’clock this morning. There has been no investigation made of the matter as yet by Coroner Auler, but from two of the un- fortunate man’s companions the story of his death is as follows: The stock train from the West running into the city had reached the Twenty-first street crossing,and, having some shunting to do, the engine cut loosefrom the train. On the ca- boose checking up and coming to a stand- still, Mr. Tibby went out onto the rear platform for the purpose of ascertaining how far they were from the depot. While stand- ing there conversing with a couple of his assistants, the engine backed up to couple on to the train, and the sudden jar hurled him head firat to the track, where the rear trucks of the cabooS8e passed over him before he could remove himself from his perilous position. A half dozen train men seeing the accident hast- ened to Mr. Tibby’s assistance, but it was quickly found of no a¥ail, as death had been instant, the wheels having passed over his hips, mangling them horribly and his life out atthe sametime. The body was removed to the Morgue by Sergeant Campbell, where an inquest will be held this afternoon. Deceased was quite an‘old man, sixty-five years of age, and leaves a family at Erie, Kansas, his late home, whither the remains will be taken for. interment. it,’?

By Western Associated Press NEW YORK, June 16,—The news of Han- lan’s victory over Elliott spread rapidly and elicited considerable comment here thouzh the result was expected. There was compara- tively little betting in New York on the result. A LATER ACCOUNT. Bv Cable to Western Associated Press. Lonpon, June 16, 2 r. M.—Hanlan won the race with great ease by nearly a dozen lengths. HANLAN WINS EASILY. By Cable to Western Associated Press. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, June 16.—The start was made from a point off the Mansion House. The weather was fine, though dull, and the water was beautifully smooth. There was an immense concourse of spectators, and twenty steamers laden with passengers followed the race. Five to two on Hanlan had been laid duripg the morning, but he came into much better favor just prior to the Start. Elliott won the toss, and took the north shore. THE FIRST MILE. After some delay at 12:15 the men got off With a capital start. Hanlan dashed in at a stroke at the rate of 42 to the minute, and-at™ once drew tothe front. Elliott struck at the rate of 40 to the minute and exerted all his enormous strength, but splashed now and then, and his boat did not travel well. Hanlan got a lead of four lengths at Red Heugh bridge, the time for the mile being six minutes eleven and one- seconds, the Canadian leading by five lengths. Hanlan now slowed down and contented himself with keeping the advantage, and eventually won very easily by eight lengths in good time, in 21 minutes and Il second. There was an enormous crowd at Scotswood on his arrival, whocheered Hanlan to the eeho. The Race. By Western Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 16.—Another special from Newcastle-on-Tyne says of the Hanlan- Elliott race: The course the men rowed over was three miles and seven hundred and sixty yards, the full champion course. Thousands of Tynesiders poured into Newcastle from the surrounding districts, and there were many representatives of the border land from Ainwick and the surrounding towns, who came fearing their representative would, be worsted in the contest with the young Canadian. THE DAY broke dull and cloudy and somewhat cold, and the wind was blowing from the northeast. At 11:15 the referee’s boat had taken up its position at the starting point at High Level bridge. The weather still remained dull and cloudy, while the wind, which was from the ‘eastward, was blowing up stream. Men were offering two to one on Hanlan when Armstrong, the referee, arrived. Soon after a littie steam yacht arrived, which had been specially prepared for the use of ladies and a few invited guests. The river was meanwhile alive with craft ofall descriptions, while all the win- dows and roofs of houses commanding a view of the river were crowded. THE ENGLISH CHAMPION’S BOAT was then launched, fallowed by the ten- oared barge, from which James Taylor was tocoach himin the race. Thecrowd gave Elliott no little cheering. The gathering was not as large as on the occasion of the Hanlan- Hawdon race on the 5th of last month, and the atmosphere was murky and oppressive, while clouds of smoke came down the vailey betwen High Level and Red Heugh bridges. HANLAN soon after took his position, and was also cheered.” At 11:40 the referee’s boat took its station in themiddle of the river. In the meanwhile the crowd was hourly increasing, ana the flotilla of steamers were uncomfortably crowd- ed. Hanlan got into his boat and was again loudly cheered. THE START. According to the terms of agreement, the men started by mutual consent. Elliott won the choice of position. Hanlan led all the way, and Elliott made no response, being evi- dently out-rowed at all points and much dis- couraged. Arriving at the Scottwood Sus- pension Bridge, A WINNER BY TEN LENGTHS, Hanlan took off his cap and was loudly cheered. , The Newcastle Journal of to-day says:‘*The race wil) be one of the heaviest gambling ‘that ever took place on the Tyne.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.—Hong Kong advices of {May 21 say that Grant’s party briefly visited Swatow on May 13, Amoy May 14, and Foochow May 15. The demonstra- tion was unimportant owing to the short stay. They arrived atShanghai on the United States, ship Ashuelot, May 17, and were re- ceived on landing with an un- precedented manifestation of greeting in presence of a crowd comprising almost the entire foreign community and great numbers of Chinese. AN ADDRESS was delivered on behalf of the citizens, to which Grant responded with what may be re- garded as peculiar significance, saying that he wished he had known ten years ago what he bad ately earned, and __ that his experience in ~this part of the world would be of great interest and possibly of great use in the future. ~~ , A PROCESSION to the residence of the United States Consul followed, where he remains while in Shang- hai. The volunteer rifle cerps detached the horses from the carriage, and themselves drew the yebicle toits destination. Several days were occupied with RECEPTIONS of foreign consuls and Chinese dignitaries, among whom were the Viceroy of Nanking, who was sent from Pekin to bear welcome from the Central Government. General Grant will proceed to Choofoo and ably to Tientsien. The Richmond, however, arrived atc Hong Kong May 15; and was immediately dispatched nerth for the service of the party if needed. Itis now expected that the so- journ in and about Pekin will occupy considerable time. possibly till the beginningjof July, although as heretofore no definite an- nouncements are made. POPPIFS.

De Bar’s Grand Opera-House Disposed of at Noon To-Day. - —_— John W. Norton Purchases the Theater, With Properties, for $1,900. at the Sale. Pur suant to an order of the Probate Court made on June 3, De Bar’s Opera-house, with all its properties, was sold to-day at noon to John W. Norton for $1,900. A red auctioneer’s flag waving in front of the Opera-house was the announcement to the public of the sale, and at noon a motley crowd of actors and men employed in thea- ters had congregated on the pavement be- neath the portico. A few moments past 12 Judge Lanham, who officiated as auctioneer, emerg- ed from the Opera-house carrying his crutches, as usual. By this time a large throng had entirely blocked the pavement. AMONG THOSE PRESENT were Mr. A. B. Wakefield, chaperoned by his attorney, Mr. McCarty, evidently bent upon looking after his interests ; Mr. Fred.

A chair was placed on the pavement and with the aid of his crutches Judge Lanham mounted it ejaculating as he did so: ‘*Like the Democratic platform, it’s a little shaky.’’ This the crowd good-naturedly resented, whereupon the Judge smilingly added, *‘I meant the other one, gentle- men.’’ ‘*Give us your attention now, said Lan- ham, and then he read the order of the Pro- bate Court authorizing the sale. The rent of the building is, $1,500, payable quarterly. Mr. Fred.

Lanham turned to lawyer Jameson, who said, ‘*‘Last year’s, about $1,311.’’ ‘‘Now then, we will sell the leasehold first,’’ said the rubicund auctioneer, ‘ ‘then the pensonalty and fixtures.

His Scheme to Establish a New Theater in St. Louis. - —_— Further Proceedings in the St. George’s Hall Case. - — Justice Mullery’s Court Thronged Witis an Eager Multitude, vx——— A Formidable Array of Legal Tal- ent On Hand. The case of Shepley against Denton came up’ to-day for a second trial before Justice Mal- lery. The proceedings of the first trial were fully given in the Post-DIspatca last week. The jury failed to agree, thus causing the sec- ond trial. The trouble is about St. George’s Hall, corner of Seventh and Locust, It is already well known that Mr. John R. Shepley is the owner of St. George’s Hall, and that he leased it some time ago to Mr. Richard F..- Denton, and that a few weeks since Mr. .- Shepley commenced proceedings to remove Mr. Denton from the possession of the prop- erty, alleging that he was in arrears as to his rent. It is also well xnown that Mr. Charlies Pope is ready to take St. George’s Hall as soon as Mr. Shepley can give it to him, and begin to convert it into a theater, a full account of whieh has al- ready been published in the Post-DisratTcu. Consequently Mr. Charlies Pope is an interest- ed party. THE FIRST TRIAL was quite impressive on account of the - vast amount of legal talentengaged. It will be remembered that on the side of the plainag were the plaintiff himself, Mr. Shep- ley, who is a very dis- tinguished lawyer. Mr. Jo M. Glover, quite a brilliant young legal luminary and the son of Mr. Samuel T. Glover; and Judge Wm. C. Jones, late of the St. Louis Criminal Court. For the defendant were Mr. Wm. H. H. Russell, the famous | theatrical attorney and the fast friend of all womankind. Mr.Jas.McBride,the celebrated Irish patriot, and Mr. Leander Smith, the silver-tongued tor. The same startling of legal talent was present this morn the important addition of Col. A. ¥ back for the plaintiff. Thus, the case of She ley vs. Denton would appear to be growing in interest and importance, and there is no telling what are going to be the consequences of these many trials and this stupendous ag- eregation of lawyers. There were fully as many people in Justice Mullery’s court this morning as at the trial last week, but bappily the weather was cooler and the able counsel on both sides were enabled to keer their coats on. There were evidences of heat, it is true, butjthey came from the rivalry of the ambitious gentlemen of the bar. Mr. Charles Pope, the herculian manager and actor, wa not there, he having been detained in Indla- napolis. Sgt re. —ovanapagme HAD GREAT DIFFICULTY * a jury. Since nearly ads the Post- DISPATCH, most all the itizens he struck were too well posted in the 2 to serve with impartiality. Itwas 11 o’clo ore six men satisfactory to the constabl?” @ been dragged intothe court. They satin a row onthe little platform in the northeast corner of the room, but their ranks were ‘sadly shattered when the lawyers got hold of them and put on the _ screws of a rigid §examinatior. Half of them were excused and allowed to run free. Three other patriots were found and acce spted. The six jurymen, as finally accepted, were Thos. Clark, Geo. Holstetter. Theo. Eagle, Daniel Iloefer, Chas. Hazen and Daniel Mann. COL. SLAYBACK made an opening statement for the plaintiff, and spoke in bis usual unction and vigor. He said Denton wasa dead-beat, and that he wanted to take advantage of Mr. Shepley and keep St. George’s Hall without payingg rent for it. Col. Slayback was so gpointed in his remarks that Mr. Leander J. Smith grew quite nervous several times and attempted to interpose a number of objections, mut the tlood of the handsome + peaker’s oratory knew no restraint and swept overall obstructions like the Mississippi over a blade of grass. Mr. John R. Sbep!tey was the first wit- ness put on the stand and was examined at length by Col. ~ back, the evidence elie- ited being about the same as that alread published,the gist of it being that Denton h signed a lease for two years, had paid the rent for three months and then defaulted. MR. LEANDER J. SMITH took Mr. Shepley in hand for cross-examina- tion. He began by asking if there had not been some other trials of this case. Colonel Slayback objected toan examination concerning any previous trial, and then there sprang up a spirited wrangle, which, at one time, became SOMEWHAT THREATENING, ‘*T am not going to have any bushwhacking here,’’ said Slayback. ab ‘Y ou are dwing the bushwh, self,’’ said Smith, This made JSlay! and he retorted: ‘*You are trying t¢ ‘You were brougut here ex purpose.’’ replied Smith. who ha to zrow hot under the co!lar. **‘You had better not say so,’’s ng your- ‘I think I know what I am talking about said Smith, ‘‘andI think L have cnough mu cle to take care of myse'f.’ * ‘Silence !’’ said the Court. ‘*VYes, muscle is all vou bave got,’’ continued the eloquent counsel for the plaintiff. **Well, I’ve got more than plied the pugnacious counsel a ou have,’’ re- or the detend- D - ‘*Silence,’’ said the court. ‘*] have got enough muscle for Pps Mr. Sn.ith,’’ said Col. Slayback, ‘‘and any time you want to try it 1’ll give you the opportuni- , ‘‘Silence,’’ said the Court. you must subside.’’ **Let oil be poured on the troubled waters is my prayer,’’ said the eloquent JIMMY MCBRIDE. This bad the effect of restoring peace, and | in ten minutes Messrs. Smith and Sisyback were bandying jokes and in the best humor, Soon after this incipi-. ent row had disappeared.

WE regret to observe that the St. Louis Post-D1sPpATCH—a Conservative Demo- cratic journal—has been thrown completely out of joint by the recent address of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, at Winchester, Va. It cries aloud, ‘‘Save us from our friends!’’ calls Mr. Morgan a hass for stirring up the war fever of the North, and says: We believe that the man who appeals to the terrible memories of the civil war for partisan effect is a scoundrel. But we also believe that the man who talks such stuff as Mr. Morgan is afoo). Ifthe rebellion was, to use the mildest phrase, not a great error, but a righteous, heroic, boly war, the whole world is mistaken. Asa friend otthe South, we protest against such insulting and injurious twaddle. We are afraid that the editor of the P.-D. is doing himself injustice. Itis the misfortune of the people of the South that they believe that they were right in carrying their views of our system of government to a logical analysis. It is expecting too much to expect that they will openly acknowledge that they were wrong when they believe nothing of the kind.—[Bal- timore Gazette. We expect nothing of the kind. But we expect that they will keep their mouths shut and say nothing about the past, nothing at all. When two men after quarreling make up they will never rake up that old quarrel, but ifthey are gentlemen and men of honor ob- serve a delicate silence aboutit. Practi- cally they would not have made up if they continued their quarrel by discussing who was right or wrong. Andso real peace or national harmony is impossible as long as the Hateites of the North or the foolish twaddlers of the South continue to discuss who and what was right in the late war. But the Northern Hateites have the excuse of practical gain in securing by it party capital and possibly party success, while the Southernfools have not even this excuse. On the contrary, such speeches as that of Mr. Morgan hurt the South only and only help the miserable cause of the Northern stalwarts. AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT. Of the importance of freight discrimina- tions to the commerce of a city, no more stnking evidence could be furnished than by the recent course of the merchants of New York. They have employed one of the ablest lawyers of the city, Mr. Simon Sterne, with a great many other lawyers to assist him, to expose the manner in which the railroads discriminate against them. They secured the appointment of a special committee by the Leg- islature of their State. In his opening speech Mr. Sterne presented some remarkable facts and figures to illustrate the growing power of capital and corpora- tions and the unjust and arbitrary discrim- inations of the railroad corporations of that State. All in all the proceeding is both novel and important. The Chambers of Commerce and Boards_of Trade of the city of New York complained for yews tit the railroads caused.siarge diversion and loss of trake ‘co that city by discriminations in freight ; that this had became so important as to threaten a decay of New York’s com- merce and to require a thorough investiga- tionand remedy. At last they have suc- ceeded in obtaining the desired investiga- tion and putting hundreds of railroad offi- cials under oath and on the witness stand. In his masterly opening address, which occupied fully two hours, Mr. Sterne pre- sented the following interesting review of the extraordinary growth of railroads in have this country: **Tn 1845 the State of New York had 721 miles of rail; in 1875, 5,550. In the United States the mileage in 1845 was 4,633; in 1877, 78,000 miles, with a nominal capital invested of $5, - 000,000,000. In 1845 the capital represented by the New York railways was $18,000,000. The capital stock and debts are now about $500,000 ,000, an average cost of about $80,000 per mile. The aggregate gross earnings of the railroads in New York State in 184) were about $2,000,000. The aggregate gross re- ceipts in 1875 were about $70,000,000—now nearly $95,000,000. This vast power has been permitted to grow up and overshadow almost every other interest in society, without any responsibility for its management to any one except, as I shall hereafter show, an illusory one to its stockholding interest. **We find thatin 1850 there were in the State of New York, with a mileage of 1,230 miles, twenty-six operated railways; that the average number of miles controlled by each railway was about forty-five miles, and now, with almost 6,000 miles of railroad, the num- ber of roads has increased to but fifty, while the mileage has risen, and half this mileage and half these companies are now controlled by the Erie, the Delaware and Hudson aad the New York Central Railroad. The New York Central alone controls one-fifth of our railway mileage of the State, one-sixth is un- der the control of the Erie; and these corpora- tions have under lease and control in other States a mileage at least double that which they operate here. ’’ With respect to the diversion of trade from New York he said: **T firmly believe that before we shall have concluded the evidence we shall show to you that this diversion of trade from New York, this growth of rival cities, is mainly due to the peculiarities of management of our rail- way lines, which in many instances give through rates from and to Liverpool from wes- tern centers at rates almost as lowas the ocean freights alone would be from New York to Liverpool, ow Liverpool to New York. **We charge and shall prove to you that our railway companies have shamelessly evaded the provisions as to ten per centum dividends in the watering of their stock and in the issu- ing of their bonds, so that the declaration of dividends gives us now no clew as to what is actually earned upon actual cost of. the roads.’’ This investigation may serve as a most important precedent for our own State and the merchants of Sj. Louis. Atleast three of the most importantroads of this State, that traverse it from one border to the other, the Chicago and Alton, the Hannibal and St. Joseph and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, are notoriously run against the interests of St. Louis and for the special No freight discrimina- tionsin New York can possibly equal those against which the merchants of St. Louis are complaining. It will be well for them to watch the proceedings in New York, as they may furnish both a precedent and an ultimate remedy for our own grievances. WHO ARE THEY? The New York Sun wants to know the names of ‘‘men in the Democratic party who might more appropriately receive the nomination in 1880 than Mr. Tilden.”’ Well, there is Thomas Francis I Democratic vote, but thas of 6 fare num- ber of independent Republicans who regard him as the very pink of honor. Schurz and Dr. Preetorius say they could not help supporting him. Can this be said of Tilden? There is Horatio Seymour in the Sun’s own State. No American politician or statesman has ever established such high reputation for combined disinterestedness, high character and the highest intelligence. He could carry New York beyond question, and thereby absolutely insure his election. Can this be said of Mr. Tilden? M& There is another person in New York who is a man of fine ability and pure char- acter, who has not one-thousandth part of the enemies of Mr. Tilden, who is beth a thorough gentleman and a man ; who would make @ most expedient candidate because he would be sure of the largest part of the German vote and sure of his election. We mean, of course, William Dorsheimer. It is true that he is not generally thought or spoken of in connection with the Presi- dency. »But the same was true in the case of Polk or Pierce. And there seem to be even greater reasons for the nomination of a candidate little thought of now but free from the hostility and jealousy of fac- tions than there were when Polk or Pierce were nominated by the Democrats, Harrison was nominated by the Whigs or Hayes by the Republicans. And now, in return, we would like to ask our highly esteemed contemporary in New York a few simple questions: Is it not plain that there is greater and more bitter opposition to Mr. Tilden in- side the Democratic party than against any other or all other candidates together? Is it not absurd that the nomination shall be forced upon the man who is least popular and most bitterly disliked in the party? Is it not plain that fhe nomi- nation of Mr. Tilden would put the Demo- cratic party on the defensive from the very start, and insure the election of the Repub- lican candidate, whoever he be—even Grant? Is it not absurd to talk of renominating the same man for the Presidency who failed to take it when it was placed in the palm of his hand by the largest popular vote ever cast for any candidate? Is it not absurd to plaee him against such a desperate charac- ter as Grant when he was noteven the match of such a weak vessel as Hayes? Is it not absurd to think that as between Grant and Tilden the latter, even if elect- ed, would ever take his place? B. GRATZ BROWN. Interesting Letter from the Ex-Gov- ernor on Tom Ewing, Order No. 11 and the Present Political Situation. ol —— Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Mr. George C. Bingham, the distinguished artist, has written a | letter denouncing in severe terms the nof Hon. Themas Ewing for Gevernor of UPio on account of his Ordef No. 11, issued when in command on our Western border. He describes him as ‘*at heart a selfish and unscrupulous despot, and a Demeacrat only for place and power.’’ A long friendship for Mr. Ewing and a goed deal of intimacy with him during the war have impressed me with an entire- ly different opinion of his personal character, and if his political convictions were puton only for place and power, he has certainly aired them in a State where De- mocracy has not been exactly the road to ap- pointment as in Missouri, and has clung to his party through fifteen years of defeat, when he could as readily have led in the councils of the nation had he chosen to give in to Repub- lican misgovernment. That Mr. Bingham is penetrated with a very artistic View of thesubject matter of this order isshown in his appeal made in behalf of ‘‘a helpless and disarmed population,’’ and his recommendation to the Democracy of Ohio to present him on their banners ‘‘as driving be- fore him terror-stricken mothers, grand- mothers and maidens whom he deemed more worthy of his flashing blade than men in arms who could give as well as receive blows.’’ This will do for canvas, but scarcely for print. In fact it was only a few days since, ina visit to the studio of Mr. Bingham at Columbia to see his exquisite painting of Musidora, that,noticing his ‘‘Orde: No, 11°’ which hung uponthe wall, some conversa- tion ensued wherein he made this remark. ‘‘*The public generally does not know what constituted’ the great atrocity of that order; it was, that it forced union families, as well as rebel fami- lies, to abandon their homes and all.’’ Now, Gen. Ewing was a Federal officer at that time, and, however mistaken he may have been in this as aremedy for that vindictive border feud, yet the application of it impartially to both sides must acquit him of any wrongful intent and show that he conceived it to bea matter of military urgency, if not necessity. There were Many measures adopted by the opposing forces during the war, and especially in our own State, not at ail calculated to win approval in time of profound peace, but if the advocates of a policy of reconciliation, for which Mr. Bing- ham has been distinguished, and of Democra- cy, in which he is equally pronounced, insist that by-gones be by-gones, why shall not crimination cease against those who have worn the blue equally with such as have donned the gray? The very antithesis, too, which Mr. Bingham makes in his letter by a virulent thrust at Confederate leaders, whilst it ac- knowledges _ the need of counter- point to such an _ attack at this day, yet does not give any additional weight to the criticism upon Mr. Ewing. It is not always that the qualities which commend their .. possessor for civil station are tha@se which win admiratien in war, and at present it is certain- ly in the former light alone that, Mr. Ewing’s fitness asthe candidate of his party is to be judged of. That he has _- great abilities, strong Democratic sympa- thies, much openness of expression, and large acquaintance with the workings of government, all know. That he will prove equally able and trustworthy in executive as in parliamentary position, those will have most confidence who know him best. And for one 1 am free to say that, although not acquainted with Mr. Foster, his competitor, yet were I in Ohio I should unquestionably give Mr. Ewing my support, if for ne other reason, because the success of Mr. Foster would go far to make possible the re-election of Gen. Graht, or, what would be still worse, might render probable the elevation of Secretary Sherman to the Presidency. This latter would install an officialism prepared to crystalize into a permanent policy for our people those now dom inant ideas ef national banks, financial contraction, protective duties, ocean subsidies, and railroad rings, which have so plundered the great agricultural sections at the bidding of organized capital asto make the States mere provinces tributary to the power throned in Wall Street. Of that system Secretary Sher- man isthe incarnation, and his triumph, or that of Mr. Foster, who is accredited his representative in Ohio, would, in my opmgion, pave the way to a supremacy fatal to anygen- eral equalized era countr@te . ba “ee aoe ee SE ag fe Even Carl | oe saa eon ta Rin The Turfmen so Pronounce the St. Louis Races. , - = The Attendance Here Compares Well With That at Louisville. —— —_ - Interviews with Several Well-Known Horsemen. — Lively Scenes at the Hotels Yes- terday. The various hotels presented a very animat- ed appearance yesterday morning at 11 o’clock, owing to the presence of a large number of gentlemen here from a distance who had been in attendance on the races. Horse men are a somewhat peculiar class of people, and have ways and looks of their own. A good many of them are fancy fellows who wear very flashy clotnes, while others are quite plain and have a sort of devil-may-care style about them that is quite refreshing. As the reporter of the Post-DiIsPpaTcHn stood in the rotunda of the Lindell, he had a good opportunity to see a fair representation of that portion of the American sporting fra- ternity which takes peculiar delight in the un- certainties of horseflesh—a somewhat differ- ent crowd from a convention of ministers, but gentlemanly-looking fellows for all that. It was Sunday, and the races were over. The flush ones were flush, and the ‘‘broke’’ ones were ‘‘broke.’’ but all alike seemed to be in a pleasant mood. Most of them were young men, say from twenty- five to forty. Here and there wasa gray head, the owner of which finds it hard to give up a fascination that the hale and the vigorous seem best fitted to enjoy. Everybody was discussing the events of the week just passed, going through a kind of runuing commentary on the prominent features ot the meeting, and it is safe to remark that the St. Louis Jockey Club came in for most generous praise on every hand. Those who had attended the meeting last year said the one this year was a great improvement, while those who were not here last year said they were astonished at what a position St. Louis had taken, all of a sudden, in the racing king- dom. The reporter talked with GEN. BUFORD, of Kentucky, who is the owner of Solicitor and Good Night, as well as many other dis- tinguished horses, and who is well posted in turf matters. Heisa thorough Kentuck- ian—you may say an ideal Kentuckian— of immense frame, over six feet high, and weighing fully three hundred pounds. He hasaplain, homely face, and eyes that are somewhat after the style of Strabismus Ben Butler. Indress, he avoids all attempt at display, and would be taken by most peopie for a hardworking but well-fed farmer. He is a kind of daddy of Kentucky horse-racing, and is lecked up to by the younger men wher- “ver he goes with reverence and re- spect. He was very willing to express himself for the benefit of the Posp- DISPATCH. ‘*How are you pleased with St. Louis this time, General?’’ ‘*Ohk, first-rate, first-rate; a better meeting than you had last year; a great improvement, I think.’’ ‘*Do you think St. Louis is going to prove a good point for racing?’’ ‘*There is not a better place in the country, and if thg@c jub here is well managed, racing will beco as popular here as at Louis- ville.’’ a ‘*‘How do the crowds that have attended during the last week compare with those that attend other meetings on the circuit?’’ ‘*Your races here this year have been about as well patronized as those of Louisville, and better than those of many other cities. I think THE ST. LOUIS ASSOCIATION ought to feel much encouraged. All I have to sav is, let the first-class men here take an indi- vidual interest in the gaces, and bear an indi- vidual responsibility. Let your own young men manage affairs and keep out strangers and outsiders. Racing in this country is 1n its infancy. It has made great progress in the last few years, andis becoming more popular with the people. This improvement has been made by cleaning out ghe black sheep and putting good men tothe front. When the people see that racingis done honestly and fairly then they will patronize it.’’ ‘*What is your opinion of running four- mile heats?’’ ‘*T am opposed to four-mile heats at the spring meetings but I am in favor of them at the fall meetings. I would suggest four-mile dashes for the spring meetings, but Iam op- posed to abolishing four-mile heats altogether. We must have them to keep up the ‘‘bottom’’ of our stock. A four-mile heat race is the only true test by which we can discover the best horses. Thereisa disposition to have short dashes, but I think it is a bad thing.’’ ‘*What do you think of the criticism in- dulged in over the decision in the race yester- day between Bill Bass and Good Night?’’ **T think the Globe-Democrat has acted very foolish about it, and I don’t care who knows I say so. Itis just such talk as it gets up that will ruin your ‘club here. When judges are appointed let them decide, and when they have decided let that be THE END OF IT. Your judges ought to be taken among your own citizens, and then it could not be charged _ that outside influences had anything to do with their decisions. I have long since declined to act as a judge because I have horses of my own, and I think a good deal of some of them and I don’t want to be aceused of being un- fair.’’ ‘‘Which do you consider- the best horse at present?’’ ‘‘Good Night. He is the best horse I now own, and he is a geod one sure enough.’’ ‘‘So you are weil pleased with your yisit here this time?’’ ‘*Oh, yes; nothing at all to find fault with: nothing at all, sir. This ended the chat*with Gen, Biford, and the reporter fell upon MR. FRANK BRUCE, of the Live Stock Record. Mr. Bruce is a fine-looking gentleman, past the age of forty- five perhaps, and has all turf matters at the tip of his tongue. **How are you pleased, Mr. Bruce?’’ **T think the last year’s meeting a little bet- ter, but this has been a good one. It has cer- tainly been financially successful, but there remain some improyements to be made. I was talking to Mr. Lackland, President of your association, and told him I thought he must arrange for more stakes. I think there ought to be one for every day in the week. They bring the people out. It is just those stakes that have made the Louis- ville races 80 popular, and you must get more of them here. The best horses will not come out for a purse, but stakes will bring out the very best in the country. ‘*[ think everybody who has attended here this time is well pleased.

The grounds are fine and the management seems to be excellent. I have some fault to find with the programme. I think the races were not properly distributed. There was too much on Thursday and too little on some of the other days. And I think a greater number of stakes would bean improvement. But, of course, the association here is too young yet to have allthese things. Stakes bring out the best horses in the country, and the people will al- ways turn out to see the celebrated horses.’’ ‘*What do you think of the four-mile races?’’ **Tam opposed to them.

Novel Celebration of the Feast Yesterday. — The Franciscan Monks in Solemn Procession in South St. Louise The Franciscan monks are little known to the people of St. Louis, and their little monas- tery with its twelve monks has never obtruded itself on public notice until yesterday, when attbeir church of St. Anthany and in its neighborhood was witnessed one of the grand- est ceremonies of the Catholic Church,the ex- position and procession of the Blessed Sacra- ment. Last Thursday was the feast of Corpus Christi,the institution of the sacrament by our Lord. The feast originally fell on Thursday of Holy Week, but was passed by the church tothe Thursday after Trinity Sunday. This day is not a holiday of obligation in the diocese of St. Louis, so that the proper celebration of the day was deferred until Sunday. At7 o’clock in the morning an immense mass of people crowded into St. Anthony’s Church, a beautiful little edifice decorated in the highest style of ecclesiastical art, to hear low mass. As soon as the celebration was concluded A PROCESSION was formed justoutside of the church of all who proposed joining in the day’s rejoicings. At the head of the line were placed a number of young men; afterthem came little boys and girls, then the older parishioners. At the center of the procession was the Christian Brothers’ Band of forty pieces, which, under the direction of Mr. Gecks, discoursed sol- emn music between the various benedictions. Immediately behind the band were twenty little boys, each wearing a white lily; next walked twenty-five little girls all dressed in white, with baskets of flowers, strewing them on the road before the feet of the choir of six- teen Franciscan monks who followed after. These monks were chanting the solemn music of the church in advance of the canopy which was carried over the Blessed Sacra- ment by four laymen. Beneath the canopy Father Servetus bore the host, supported by two priests. The procession moved toward the residence of Mr. Withnell some blocks away. Here alittle altar had been fixed on a veranda of the house anda solemu benediction was given to the people. At the moment the host was exposed a gun was fired in the crowd, and on the signal a salvo from three anvils sounded back from the monastery yard. This salvo was repeated at each benediction. From Mr. Witbnell’s residence the line of march was to the Sacred Heart Convent at Maryville, where the procession met twenty- five of the nuns bearing lighted candies. Next to the nuns were the young ladies of the con- vent, all DRESSED IN BLACK. ~- with white veils, and ranged in twe [ines, threugh which the blessed sacrament was car- ried by the monks up to the long flight of stairs in front of the convent, where another altar had been erected. Here benediction was again given, and the same scene was repeated at the houses of Mr. John Byrne, Jr., and Mr. Slevin. From the iatter place _ the procession, at this time more than a mile long, passed back to St. Anthony's Church, where solemn high mass was celebrated by Father Mathias, and a few remarks were made by the. provincial of the Franciscan Order, Father Vincent. This mode of celebrating the feast of Corpus Christi is a very unusual onein America. It was practiced on one occasion, twenty-two years ago, by Fatber Hendricks, in Carondelet. Jn all Catholic European countries regular yos of cannon are fired, and it is made fine» arya well as an ecclesiastical .. £55 >" i'd rs What the St. Louis Society has Done and Will Do. — — Facts and Figures About the Westward Movement. _-— Cost of Starting a Farm--Situation and Soil of Pottawatomie County. In every one of the overcrowded cities of the country, philanthropists are eagerly seek- ing some way of benefiting the workless workingmen, some way of giving them self- sustaining help which, while it will assist, will not pauperize the beneficiary. The Catholic Church has long been more than achurch to its children, and the very term mother, which is commonly applied to it, shows that, in the minds of its children, it has something more than a religious significance. Any step taken for the good of the Catholic poor is almost always under the direct care and supervision of the priest, whose whole study in life is the tem- poral as well as the spiritual welfare of his parishioners. But to afford relief to the thou- sands of unemployed in a great city like St. Louis needs very much more than the individ- ual exertions, however energetic, of any pas- tor. In recognition of these facts the St. Louis Colonization Society was formed directly UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE CHURCH and directly for the help of its children. Its object is very simply stated: To provide new channels of industry for those who have been crowded to the wall in the stringent times be- hind 1879. Itis not the purpose to help the shiftless, the lazy, the worthless. In order to obtain the benefits held out bythe associa- tion, some little money and a good reputation are essentials, and it is plain- ly indicated that only hard work on the col- ony’s lands can hope for ultimate reward. The experiment of making farmers of those who have been all their lives mechanics or la- borers fias, of course, its impracticable side also, but to meet this, and to assure the set- tler of the fairness of the association, it is laid down in the _ constitution that all the money “paid to the _ society for land will be refunded to the payer, less six per cent interest for the time he has occu- pied his land, when he is unable to complete the purchase. To understand the benefits of the colonizing idea a brief review of the expenses of a per- son going on a farm on his own responsibility may be of some value. To buy an ordinary farm under the best conditions that a stranger can get, even in the wilder parts of Missouri, implies the pos- session of considerable ready money. One hundred and sixty acres of good, uncleared land will cos@gt the least $800, of which sum one-third must be paid in cash, the balance in one and two years, with interest at ten per cent. THE CASH OUTLav until the crops come in might be talylated thus: Payment on farm Wagon and team Keep of family from spring to harvest Clearing twenty-five acres new ground Implements Total...... Socecceccccococedesceseoece $641 66 Six hundred and fifty dollars is a low esti- mate of the expense, and two of the heavier items in this table are avoided by the colo- nists, the first payment on the farm, and the expense of clearing and breaking, for usually they rent from older settlers enough land to put in their first crop, and hence do not have to pay out money for the clearing. The recent impulse given to the coloniza- tion movement by the issue of the meeting held in New York, where, as soon as the‘sub- ject was understood, $8,000 was subscribed in one night, has awakened renewed interest in the association here. The St. Louis society was Organized in February. 1877, and hence is one of the pioneers in this WESTWARD MOVEMENT OF THE CELT. While this body has not been so promin- ently before the people as it was a couple of years agu, it has by no means relinquished its efforts to provide homes for the Catholic poor of St. Louis. Shortly after its organization the association was incorporated under the laws of Missouri, and it is now offi- cered by Mr. Patrick McGrath as president, and Mr. Kelly as secretary. One ef the first steps of a colonization society is, of course, to secure proper land, and this was done as soon as practicable, 12,181.17 acres being purchased in Kansas, from the Union Pacific Railway Company,to be paid for in ten years, at the rate of $3 60 the acre. This pur- ghase money was insured by the issue of 50,- 000 shares of stock at one dollar per share. When the land came into the possession of the society it was graded into a number ofde- grees, at prices ranging from $2 55 to $4 60 per acre, and fixed upon TILE EASIEST TERMS POSSIBLE with regard totime. Itis sold to the settler in this way: On taking possession, the colonist pays in cash the interest at six per cent for one year of the value of the land. At the end of the year one-seventh of the principal with interest on the balance for one vear must be paid, and so on, year by year, until the whole debt is canceled, where- upon a deed in fee simple is given to the settler. These terms are, of course, remarkably easy, so much so that any one who wishes may be- come a land owner. There was one re- striction put upon settlers, that no one can purchase more tnan 160 acres of land, but by a more recent action of the board this limitation is abolished, and a man may now take as much as he thinks he can pay for. The location of the land is a very favorable one, being in the midst of the well- watered county of Pottawatomie, in the northeast part .of the State of Kansas. Timber is very scarce, but coal is found in large quantities on the lands, and the extreme fertility of the soil, the excellence of the water, and the salubrity of the climate combine to make ita most fit locality for A PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY COMMUNITY. Of course the intending colonist must have some money to start with, but a _ care- ful reckoning af all his expen- ses for food and shelter, live stock, transportation and first payment on his farm puts the amount at $400, a sum which will carry him safely into the period when the farm begins to pay. Up to the present time about sixty families, averaging five persons, have availed them- selves of the opportunities offered, and trayv- eled the 420 miles to Pottawatomie to settle in the prairies of the great Northwest. They came mostly. of course, from St. Louis, but Illinois, New York and Indiana, have each sent their quota. Upon their ar- rival the colonists went vigorously to work pleting crops andorchards; so far their best yield has been corn, the wheat being rather a failure. New settlers now going up generally rent land from the older inhabitants, while they are clearing theirown ground. The average cost of breaking 1s $2 50 per acre. This is an accurate statement of what the society can and will do. Their exertions, it being altogether 4 Cathelic movement, are in- tended to benefit these of their own church, » THE MISTAKE bas been heretofore made that it was meant solely for Irish Catholics, but this is not so, for German Catholics are received as well.

The aged Cashier’s Attempt at Sul- cide, On Saturday the Post-Dispatcu published an account of attempted suicide by Phil. Krieger, Jr., the imprisoned cashier of the wrecked Broadway Savings Bank. Yesterday the morning papers came out partly with de- nials and partly with explanations of the oc- currence, these latter fully corroborating the details as set forth in the P.-D. Krieger’s attempt at suicide,as narrated last Saturday, was true in every particular, and the explanations that explained nothing. and denials that denied nothing, were simply due to the fact that the P.-D. as usual had ‘‘left’’ its morning contemporaries. In short, the news came from the very best authority, the reporter having obtained the information from Assistant Circuit Attorney Noonan, who had it direct from Mr. Conway himself. So far as this paper 1s concerned, the information came from a perfectly reliable source. Compliment to a St. Louis Young Lady. {From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald. } Among the graduates of Mrs. Cuthbert’s excellent seminary of learning at St. Louis this year is Miss Augusta J. Evans, a resident of St. Louis, but well-knowa in St. Joseph as having attended Dr. Dulin’s College during the year ’77-’78. She isa young lady of more than ordinary attainments, and, it will be re- membered, carried off the medal for the best reading in the college while here. She will be in St. Joseph soon to spend a few weeks visit- ing old friends. She will certainly be a most welcome guest here, possessing as she does so many ardent friends and admirers.

Votes Of Many His Plans for the Canvass—Prominence of the Fi ial Issue. ' From Saturday"s New York Tribune.) General Thomas Ewing, recently nominated y the Democrats for Governor of Ohio, ar- ived atthe Fifth Avenue Hotel from Wash- ngton yesterday. General Ewing says that he mu private business only, and intends 1 to Washington this evening. He at the hotel last evening. In per-, ance Generai Ewing is a man that ene would be apt to look at twice if he were met casually. He is rather tall and somewhat stoutly built, bas a pleasant, open face, with reguiar features and blue eyes. His hair is of an iron-gray _—itinge, and his whiskers are cut short and are of the same color as his hair. In speaking, his voice is pleasant, and socially he seems to be very agreeable. **The prospects of the Democratic party in Ohio,’’ said General Pane: In response to a question, ‘‘are good. he party seems to be united and ready for Mee work. The cam- paign will not fairly begin beforé the middle of August, although it is probable that I may speak several times before then. I shall take the stump myself, and I think that General Rice and I with three legs can beat Foster and Hickenlooper with four. There will be no ‘chance fora ‘bloody shirt’ campaign there. We shall have the assistance in the campaign of stump speakers from this and neighboring States.’’ ‘*-What part will the currency question ‘play in the canvass?’’ **An important part. THE MONEY QUESTION, I think, will be the leading issue in the can- Vass. It is true the President’s vetoes will figure conspicuously, but the fight will come on the questions of unlimited silver coinage and the substitution of Treasury notes for na- tional bank currency. The Democratic party is a unit in favor of these measures, and many Republicans believe that silver should be re- stored to its correct ratio with gold of 15 1-2 to 1, which is the French ratio. All the Latin States in Europe have come around to this be- lief, and Bismarck himself advocates it.’’ ‘*Whatis your opinion of General Gar- field’s recent remark while commenting on the convention of Nationals, that Piatt’s nom- ination was a ruse to give over the Nationals to the Democrats on election day?’’ **T don’t think that will be the result of the work of the Nationals’ convention. It is true } they met on the same day asthe Democrats, and a coalition between the two was attempt- ed and found to be impossible. But the con- vention of Nationals was controlled by the extremists of the party, and not by its repre- sentatives. On financial questions many of the Nationals in the State agree with the Democrats, and I bope for their support. Thus you see there is no inconsistency in my receiving votes rom Nationals, or Greenbackers as they are alled, and the hard-money Democrats who were represented in the Columbus Convention. nalight vote last year the Nationals threw 38,000 votes.

An Interesting Mecting Last Night, at Which some Good Advice is Probably to be Wasted on the St. Louis Public. There was a very interesting temperance meeting held last night at 208 North Sixth street, under the auspices of the}Mechanics’ and Workingmen’s Temperance Union. The meeting was called to order by President W. W. Polk, after which a hymn was sung by the choir of the union. Mrs. E. P. Johnson, vice-president of the union, then addressed the meeting, in which she alluded tothe habit of American ladies visiting saloons and beer gardens on Sundays instead of attending divine services, and said that it was onlyfound to be the case in Cinemnati and St. Louis, and it was a disgrace to the people of this country that the ladies of this city did not take a more active part in the temperance work. After reading a keautiful poem, Mr. B. B. Porter was introduced, who recited the old story, which none but those who have been Slaves to the great evil of intemperance cani | tell about, after which George Babcock made a few brief remarks on the beer brewers and | their false declarations. Mrs. Louise Sinclair at some length on the sub- ject of prohibition, her remarks being well selected and spoken in a clear and dis- tinct voice. She called attention especially to the license system and asked every true American mechanic to sign the pledge and vote for prohibition. She also referred to the elections in ‘this country; how they were al- ways carried by the beer-mongers through their trickery, and the drinks which they so freely dispensed for their candidates. The meeting was a success in all, particulars. These meetings will be held every Sunday night at the same place. — ——— MR. DAVIS’ LATEST OUTBREAK. A Speech in which He Defends the South but Not Himself. {Pacagoula Special to the New Orleans Picayune. P On entering the hall Mr. Davis was greeted with cheer on cheer. All rose, the ladies waving handkerchiefs and throwing flowers and bouquets before him as he passed through the hall with the committee, of which E. Barksdale was chairman, who _iin- troduced Mr. Davis, saying that Jefferson Davis was welcomed to the hearts and homes of Mississippians. Mr. Davis said Mississippi was identified with his highest hopes, and he rejoiced to see her regenerated. It was charged that Mississippi had repudiated her honest debt, which was untrue. She paid all honest debts, crushed and bleeding from every pore, without a voice to raise in her own defense. That dark hour, thank God, had passed away and Mississippians once more govern Mississippi, and through weeds, sackcloth, and ashes exclaim ia the lan- guage of Job: ‘‘I believe my avenger liv- eth.’’ Truth would prevail in final triumph. From beginning to end, he said, in prosperity and adversity, when leading bodies of men or laden with chains in a dun eon, I have been true to Mississippi. I believe you have done righ t, and I do eed Bes = that I have done ong. Thankin ot ess of Mississippi for eir cordial recep eo e predicted it would dicate the past and point to higher roads of brality in the future. he women ; South during the war » most resolute.

But it now appears that, common as divorce is in Massachusetts, it is not so frequént as in the other New England States. e New Haven Journal finds that the ratio of ‘divorce to marriage has been as follows during the last few years in four of the New England States: Vermont, 1to16; Massachusetts, 1 to 23.7; Rhode Island, 1 to 13; Connecticut, 1 to 20.4. If Maine and New Hampshire have a lie divorce record, the number of couples in the New England States who make shipwreck of matrimony must be net far from 1,800 annu- ally. These are figures to eels people think very seriously. So greata tag mer of divorees indicates both a surprising laxity of morals and a prevalence of skeptical ideas regarding the solemnity uf marriage in the land of steady habits. We used to look to the newer com- munities of the West for such a state of soci- ety; but now we find it in the home of the Puritabs, and among their descendants espe- cially. Moreover, this remarkable record of divorce, which puts the States named among those of the world where marriage is least permanent and of least binding force—a record which has few parallels in history— is Only one of several symptoms of moral decline in New England, or of a disposition to chafe under tbe religious and conven- tional restraints ‘which the Puritan fore- fathers deemed essential to the well-being of society. Thereports fromthe New England villages show that church-going is falling into disuse: that while the Irish and French Cana- dian Catholics are punctual in their attendance at mass, the native Protestants are frequently Yound altegether indifferent to religious ser- vices, or only occasional in their attendance on them. _- — AS A reliable and cheap remedy for the va- rious affections of the throat and lungs, we heartily recommend Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.

A Day’s Record of Crime—Cases in the Police Courts. Smith-Sterling. The one principal event in the Criminal Court this morning, and which crowded the commo- dious room aimost to suffocation with a throng of the curious, wasthecalling of the Smith- Sterling ease. The case was set for a special hearing on Thursday, but owing to the time of the Court being taken up by the J.W.Beaumont murder case was laid over until to day. When the Marshal’s gavel fell, at 10:40 0’clock, an- nouncing the fact that Judge Laughlin had taken the bench, William O. Smith was escort- ed te the dock. A confinement of seven weeks in the City Jail has told but little on hig stal- wrt frame and bewhiskered face. Thereis, perhaps, a trifie more stoop to his shoulders, but his general demeanor is the same, andthe devil-may-care expression that glit- tered in bis eyes on the day that he put a knife into Mrs. Sterling’s throatin a Locust street boarding-bhouse still glitters there. The time of the Court was taken up with mo- tions and petty misdemeanors until 11:15 o’clock, and then the case was got down to. The witnesses for the prosecution were in attendance, but of the long list for the defense but one answered to bis name when called, and Mr. Frank D. Tur- ner arose on behalf ‘of the defense and an- nounced his intentior of filing an application for the further continuance of thecase. A short continuance will in all likelihood be granted. After Many Years. For want of time, the case of John Parker, charged with the murder of Joseph O’Toole, was continued in the Criminal Court to-day. The case in question is but an illustration of the old saw of ‘‘Truth is stranger than fic- The murder was a brutal one, almost twelve years there not an effort made to bring the perpetrator to justice, whe never onee quit the city. Twelve years ago, at a dance given on lower Carr street, the floor manager Joseph O’ Toole, got intoan altercation with a party of roughs, who had dropped in with the intention of breaking up the _ festivities, and was stabbed by one of the number, John Parker. Thecrowd made their escape and the wounded man was conveyed to his residence, where he died within a few days, from the ef- fect of his wound. There was no attempt made to convict Parker at the time and the matter was almost torgotten when the grand jury unearthed it some three months ago, and on an investi- gation found an indictment Of murder. The detense will be ablv represented when the case comestotrial, and it is rumored that from some unknown cause the pleaof insanity will not be entered. compan Krieger’s Heavy Bond. The largest bond ever asked in the history o the Court of Criminal Correction was asked by Judge Cady in the embezzlement case of J. Philip Krieger, Jr., cashier of the late Broad- way Savings Bank,jthis morning. The defen- dant came into court accompanied by his counsel, Frank D. Turner, and too a seatin the dock among the lesser criminals. Krieger has fully recovered from the effects of his late suicidal attempt and looked as uncon- cerned as if he had never heard tell of Mayer Goldsoll or the Broadway Savings. A few of the defrauded depositors were in the court room ,but the usual hangers-on failed to recog- nize bim. When his case was called he waived examination and Judge Cady, taking up his pen, deliberately said, ‘‘I shall require you to ive bond to answer inthe Criminal Courtin the sum of $30,000.’’ Krieger bowed and turn- ing to a Deputy-Marshal w vho was at his side, replied, ‘‘Well, I can’t give it,’’ and returned to his cell in the City Jail. A Lightning-Rod Agent Robbed. There is some palliation in the crime of Tom Thompson ,who has robbed an as yet unknown lightning-rod agent. Last evening, at dusk, Officer Parle observed Toin hastening through Missouri Park with a suspicious-looking bun- dle under his coat. The star halted him, and on looking under the coat found a quantity of clothing, consisting of a pair ot pants and vest and some underwear, and took him to the station on genoral principles. On searching the garments a brass medal was found which set forth the werits of a certain lightning rod, but uo name that would estab- lish the idertity of the owner. Thompson re- fuses tc tell how he came by the plunder, and Jgie he is retained in the hold-over every cop own ison the lookcut for a lightniag-rod t who has lost his wardrobe. The Kotovsky Case. The case of Josepl Michael Kotoysky, who shot poor Augusta Simon, his pretty sweet- heart, to death, on South Eighth street, on the 10th of last October, was called in the Criminal Court this morning. Mr. Oharles F. Noland appeared for tiie defense and obtained a con- tinuance tono set period, but it is generally understood that it will not be docketed until the October terin. The defense in this case will make their fight on purely scientific greunds, endeavoring to establish one of the strongest cases of emotional insanity on record. The prosecution, on the other band, are confident of proving one of the most un- provoked murders ever committed in this or any other city; andthe upshot ot the whole cannot fail of being interesting. A Detective Heard From. Some months ago a bogus detective agency at Cincinnati duped a number of greenhorns of $3, each under promise of a steady position at $100 per month and expenses, and this morning the tollowing letter, which is given verbatim, was received by Chief McDonough trom one of its victims, who had just heard of the Printz murder: June 13th 1879: Cheef Polease—Dr sir:—I Am in bissness for the american Secret Service co., & Would be glad To hay the Fortigraft of charles Sanders That committed tne murder in your City. Yours etc etc J.T. COONEE St Jacobs, Madison co., ll. Lizzie’s Luck. Lizzie Ford stands as pretty a chance of go- ing to the Penitentiary for a couple of years as any woman in the city of St. Louisa. Lizzie’s character is not purerthan the beautiful snow, and on last Wednesday night she so forgot her- self as to appropriate a watch and chain and $25 in money, all the property of Jobn MeMullin, to her own use. She was ar- rested shortly afterwards and arraigned be- fore Judge Cady this morning ona charge of grand larceny. She pleaded not guilty, but on an examination was adjudged so, and committed to jail in. default of bond in the sum of $800. A Curious Theft. Mrs. Kate Andrews, of No. 1735 Orange street, was arrested by Deputy Marshal Hohoff, on yesterday, On @ warrant of grand larceny at the instigation of Benjamin F. Ciark, of No. 2729 Eugenia street. The warrant alleges that the dejyendant stole a riage ot the value of the plaintiff's residence on last The case will bave a hearing on next Thursday before Judge Cady, and in the meanwhile Mrs. Andrews is out on bond. A Bruiser Fined. Asick Abrom bas neither a pretty name nor a pretty phiz,and his inner self may be taithfully indexed 4 hisname. He was put on trial be- fore Judge Cady in the Vourt of Criminal Cor- rection this morning for giving J. G. Krauss a terrible beating on last Snnday week on North Seventh street near Franklin avenue. He pleaded not guilty, but the Court enter- tained a different opinion and assessed a fine of $5 and costs. A Sneak-Thief Caged. William Johnson, alias Farrow, was arrested this morniag by Officer Landers on the flevee, and shortly afterwards transferred to jail ona charge of petit larceny. William Is a disciple of Agraria, and on yesterday, seeing a grip sack on the wharfboat of the Missouri Packet Company, covered it with his grimy paws. He was observed in the act and this murning ar- rested by Officer Landers, as above described. Happy Fanny. Fanny Martin walked out of the Criminal Court at noon to-dayahappy woman. On the 16th of last April she stole $87 in good and law- ful money of Paul Urace, and wasin due time indicted by the grand jury. Onthe 2d of May she entered u ee of not guilty to the charge, and this morning when. her case wag called, owing to the absence of the — wit- neas, it was continued gener A Bad Pair. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of James Powers and Pat Kane, on a charge of petit larceny. On yesterday evening they en- tered the cigar store of William Pfeiffer, on the corner of Seventeenth and Biddie streets, and, while the proprietor’s back was turned, man- aged to steai four boxes of cigars and make their escape. They will be’arrested this after- noon. Pt aaa ee For Stealing a Broiler. Ramon Rodriguez swore out @ warrant for the arrest of Spencer Hendricks this morning ona charge of petit larceny.

THE SENSATIONAL SUIT. -— —_ More About the Case of Bent vs. Boyle. . - — Depositions Being Taken with Great Secrecy. The publication inthe Post-DIsSPaTcn last Saturday of the circumstances of the suit filed last Friday by Capt. Silas Bent against Judge Boyle bas created a profound impression, and it is not believed that half the facts have yet come out, and that some very astonish- ing revelations will be made when the case comes totrial. As before stated, a number of depositions bearing on the case have been taken under a suit brought by Capt. Bent in April, and that Chas. H. Peck, John D. Davis, Edward Wyman and others have been examined. These depositions are kept very quiet by the coun- sel for the prosecution, and as yet none of them have been filed by the notary in the Circuit Court, although the law requires that this should be done. The taking of de- positions in a civil suitis supposed to be a public proceeding just as any trial in a court of justice. Butin this case reporters have not been allowed to be present atany of the examinations. Mr. John M. Glover is taking depositions to-day, but nobody knows where the | apemnen is going on. Somuch secrecy looks somewhat suspi- cious—that is, testimony is being elicited that somebody is trying very hard to suppress. A CORRECTION. It is proper to correct one statement which appeared in the article of the PostT-DISPATCH on this subject Saturday. It was then stated that the deposition of Mr. Charles H. Peck was understood to assert that Mr. Peck paid part of the bonus fund spoken of to Wm. J. Lewis, President of the St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance Company. It has since been positively learned that Mr. Peck does not as- sert that he paid Mr. Lewis a dollar of the money. ABUUT TOWN. REED's Gilt Edge Tonic strengthens the system.

Some Ugly Developments Likely to be Made Public. The turfmen of St. Louis are all in a state of ferment over the decision of Judges Lackland, Clark and Ward, awarding the consolation purse to Good Night on an alleged foul made by Bill Bass. Comment on the action of the judges is plen- tiful and acrid. The gentleman who comes in for the greatest share of abuse is, of course, Zeb Ward, whose conduct is openly criticised on all hands, It is asserted, and on excellent authority, that Ward came to Stoval andinduced him to enter his claim of foul, and it is also said that Cathcart declares emphatically that Mr. Ward bought pools on Good Night. Mr. Tom Gallagher, of the Turf, Field and Farm, isin possession of evidence in reference to all _ these assertions, but he is at present absent from the ity. tas THE STORY OF THE RACE is, that atthe start Good Night had the in- side, but without any rightto holdit. The rule of the English turf is that when a horse is two lengths ahead it can choose itsown part of the track, and Bill Bass already had this right. At the time of the foul it was evident that Good Night was not crowded out of his space, as his jock- ey was riding him at his very best gait. Mr. Clark’s well-known aversion to Spillman, Bill Bass’ rider, is said to have been another factor in the decision, and _ the fact that Spillman was immedi- ately reinstated, when, if he were guilty of fouling, he should be barred from the turf altogether, is another element in the popular verdict that the ‘‘foul’’ deeision was a little the worst piece of snide business the Ameri- can turf has ever witnessed. ‘‘Good Night’’ is a Kentucky horse, owned by Mr. Buford, a Kentuckian. Two of the judges, Messrs. Clark and Ward, are Kentuckians. Mr. Lackland knows nothing about turf matters, and the general impression is that a very Kentucky verdict was the result. UNDER THE PRESENT TROTTING LAW a judge oas a right to buy pools, at least it is not forbidden, and Zeb Ward has availed himself of this, as he has done on many pre- vious occasions. All the facts given above are open secrets, and a reporter called on Mr. Sam Ecker to ascertain how the judgment struck him. Mr. Ecker said that he could not say any- thing. He had lost his money, and it wasn’t his place to squeal, but the general opinion, even among Kentucky men, was _ that the decision was an outrage. Mr. Ecker has already challenged General Baford for another race in Chicago on the 30th. He does not know as yet whether the General will accept the challenge or not. The opinion among other turfmen is that Ecker is not doing the wisest thing possible in re-running the race. The affair, they think, ought to Le left where it is. Kentucky is catered to on the St. Louis turf altogether too much. A great many prominent horsemen from other States were here, and not one of them was asked to the judges’ stand. When Mr. Gallagher returns from Chicago, it is supposed, he will have an interesting story to tell. A MYSTERY SOLVED.. 3 William Prattner’s ‘Body Found at the Morgue. - — —_— a Case of Suicide by Drowning. ° Evidently The body of the unknown floater found in the river at the foot of Lesper- ance street on last Friday was this morning identified at the Morgue as that of William Prattner, of Wash street, between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets. Deceased was thirty years of age, single, a native of Germany, a tailor by vocation, and had long been trou- bled with fits of melancholy which were butlit- tle short of insanity. While laboring under these fits he often threatened to end all of his misery by throwing himself into the river, and required the constant attention of his friends to divert his mind from that subject. On the evening of the first of the present month he left his shop ina very dejected mood, and was not seen or heard from afterwards until at the Morgue to-day. The only supposition enter- tained in the case 1s that he directed bis course to the river and while. no one was watching his movements leaped in and found death in its silent depths. The remains will be interred by August Twellkemeyer, a friend who identifled them. LAID TO REST. Funeral of the Late Dr. Bircher—A Large Gathering of Friends at the La- clede Hotel. -At 1:30 o’clock to-day the friends of the departed Dr. Rudolph Bircher began to gather in the panor of the Laclede Hotel, where the remains were lying. Some two hundred or more ladies and gen- tlemen crewded into the room and sat and stood about n_ the corridors. The body was ina splendid casket and coyr- ered with flowers arranged in beautiful floral designs. The face of the departed gentleman was peaceful and calm; he seemed to be only sleeping. A number of chairs were arranged about the room, and on those nearest to the coffin sat Chas. Bircherand Mr. and with the grandchildren A number of ladies the room, and in front of the casket was the r. Tudor, a presiding elder in the Methodist Episcopal Chureh, and the Rev. Dr. Stark, a German divine. ‘Out in the hall amongst the crowd a reporter noticed Messrs. Charles aga - H. Russell, John M. Kru R. Gibbons, D. W. MacAllister, Ben. ‘Stickney, Wesley Owings, Harry Price, Enoch Price, Col.Ives, James Towers, Nicholas Schafer,. Dr. Saun- ders, Mr. Pease, Jesse Arnot, W.A. Shea, Dr. Dudley, F. Fisher and a number of others. The Rev. Dr. Tudor began the last sad renee = of the church by delivering eloquent prayer to the Almighty. He made a short address over the body, reciting a few of the many good quali- ties of the dead, and was. fol- lowed by the Rev. Dr. Stark, who preached rather a lengthy sermon in German. From the bowed heads and close attention of the audience, it was evident! a noble effort, worthy of the life it descri bed.

Se Seni: The Street Railroad War. The time of Court No. 6 has been all day in hearing the case o od upon the cht ofthe par- allel streets of those of the plaintiff. Judge Gottschalk for the defense claimed estoppel and the fact that the St. Louis Company had neve: enforced its right as witness, the Gravois Railroad, the Belle- fontaine ana others, all of which rancars within three parallel streets of those on which the St. Louis Railroad ran. The plaintiffs support their claim by an act of the LegisJature approved January, 1860, and also by ordinances which says that no street railways shall hereafter be constructed in the city of St. Louis nearer to a parallel road than the third parallel street from any road now constructed or which may hereafter be constructed.

The Judge of the City Court occupied his bench for an hourthis morning. The docket was read and the court adjourned till to-mor- row morning. oe —~. Important Order on Receiver Alexan- der. . The following order was made by Judge Thayer in the Circuit Court to-day, in the matter of Wm. S.

Alex- ander, receiver, do on or before Friday, June 20, 1879, report to this Courtthe number and amount of all claims and allowances made by the Circuit Court against the assets of said company that are as yet unpaid and the amount so unpaid thereon. That he also report the amount due to any clerk or employe of the Receiver for services hereinbefore rendered, and the names, salar- ies and present duties of all clerks or em- ployes now in his service (except those em- )loyed in caring for the building on the cor- ner of Sixth and Locust streets). That he also report what assets in the shape of notes bonds or other chosesin action (other than premium notes) he now has in his possession and the amount if any now held in_ pledge _ on account of any debts, and owing by the trust estate, and the authority under ‘and by virtue of which they ' were so p edged. -__-—_—- — - —™ The sesedwes Bank.

This was essentially a dull day in banking circles and did not promise well for the balance of the week, unless there issome improvement, though that is hardly probable. Transactions were of the lightest possible description in all lines. Very little paper was discounted, and that entirely of a routine kind for city custom- ers, covering grain-carrying, reguiar shipping bills and business names. Exchange was dead flat; with apparently no demand for it at all. Sellers there were at par, and possibly some discofint from par, but ne buyers putin an appearance. Counter transactions comparatively small. In securi- ties there was the same inactivity. operators showing no disposition te trade, and no sales of consequence were made except the regular Monday sale on ’Change. The tone of the stock market, while not weak, was tar trom strong, though the tendency was more toward firmness than anything else. Money and Stockns bv Telegraph. By Western Associated Press.
