He Endeavored to Capture Goldsoli, and the Tables are Turned By Goldsoll’s Friends Demanding and Obtain- ing His Removal from the Staff of Marshals. Colonel James Coff, one of the shrewdest deputies under Marshal Mason, was officially notified last evening that his resignation would be accepted, and that if it was not tendered he would be most unceremoniously bounced without delay. It was one of those propositions that no sane man can take under advisement, and the upshot of the whole is that George Herbert occupies Col. Coff’s desk in the Court of Criminal Correction this morn- ing, while the latter is discussing man’s inhu- manity to man among his large list of Four yourts friends. The announcement of Coff’s removal has oc- sioned more talk in and about the r Courts than Judge Laugh- decision in the Smith case, othing else is heard from the janitors up p Judges.

A POST-DISPATCH reporter was approached in the Court of Criminal Correction this morn- ing by Col. R. 8S. MacDonald,who broached the subject as toliows: ‘‘Now that the Post-Dispatch has caused Coff to lose some $2,000 by announcing the fact that he had goneto Texas after Goldsoll, would it not be a fine idea to attack him for in- competency or something of that nature now that Goldsoll’s friends have caused bis re- moval.’’ Withort waiting fora resumed: ‘‘Jim Coff is the shrewdest and b2st man thatever Marshal Mason had in his enploy, and his dismissal is an outrage, a public one. When Coff served aterm as Marshal! of the city of St. Louis he fulhiled his duties faithfully and mude the best Marshal the city has ever had, and since he has Deena deputy he has not only fuithfully discharged his duties, but added diyznity tothe Marshal’s desk. His discharge is a disgraceful act.’’ A petition for Col. Coff's reinstatement will be circulated among the judges and attorneys to-morrow, and Marshal Mason asked to re- verse his hastv decision.

Cavender in trust, the income of which was to be paid as it accrued to Robert S. Cavender, and this suit prays that enough of this income be sequestrated to pay this note. reply Col. MacDonald THE GOLDSOLL BOND. A Slight Delay Experienced in Arranging It. There has been a slight degree ot trouble in securing bondsmen for Mayer Goldsoll, and the result will be that he will not be surrendered until to-morrow. M. H. Smit, the pawn- broker, is very likely to go on the principal bond of $15,000. He was closeted with Collector Rosenblatt and Binswanger for quite a_ peri this one and there can be littie doubt but what he will becomeone of the principal bondsmen. Goldsoill is very anxious to have the matter of the bond arranged as soon as possible,for there is no telling at what moment his hiding place may be discovered. Cashier ‘Krieger. J. Philip Krieger, Jr., is back in his old cell in the city jail anxtously awaiting the arrang- ing ofa bondin hiscase. His attorney are confident that one will bo given by the latter parteof next week, and then he can step out to temporary freedom.

A Yellow Fever Romance. {From the Cincinnati Commercial. ] Last year whenthe epidemic was raging in Memphis, among the Cincinnati physicians who tendered their services and lives to Health Officer Minor, was young Dr. Cellins, of this city, an unusually bright and intellectual man, who was making a precarious living at his practice, not through lack of ability, for of that he had abundance, but from the lack of patients. His services, with those of five others, were accepted, and ona certain evén ing they aliwentto the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad depot to take the half-past 9 o’clock train forthe South. Young Obdilins, in taking leave of the health officers, who had gone down to see the little band off, said: **Doctor, I will either make @ reputation in Memphis or never come home again.’’ Hearrived in that city, and report Howord As- sociation tor ment im a p the disease was ca ing penmie on & the scores.

We can weil im- azine how many melon-eaters suffered last night, and to them is dedicated the following apostrophe: » Come to the mortal] as he sits Upon a dry goods box and sips Zhe nectar from thy juicy lips— Come to the youngster as he flits Across the high and peaked fence And moves with ecstacy intense Thy charins from off the native vine, And thou art terrible! 0 Angust-born monstrocity! Incarnate colicosity! ~~ thy emerald bosom glow, a ttering bubbles in the wine, The on fires of deadiy woe, And trom thy fascinations grow Tbe pain, the cramp, the pang, the throe— And all we fear or dreaw or kuow Of agony is thine! Typhoid Fever Germs in Ice, {From the Popular Science Monthly. ] About eight years since, Dr. Flint, who has studied and written a great deal on the sab- ject, became satisfied that a source of typHoid fever existed which was little dreamed of, and which, at first thought, would seem impossi- ble. This source, as he then enunciated it to his home wedical society (and not to his knowledge having been before sugaeste:), is found in ice. If this idea is thoroughly investigated, it will not ms pear to be very probiematical. In the firat P ace, the poison is not destroyed or impaired y treezing (some one long age 1ewarked that ice often masks or conceals what it does not kill). Now, whence comes our tee supply? Of- ten from enalliow reservoirs in midst of neighborhoods of large towns purposely made io receive surface druinage from all around, under the erroneous idwa that no harm will ensue, as freezing is sup to purify and render harmiess what might otherwise be objectionable. Great quan- tities ot ice are taken irom canals,fromeé . from stagnant ponds, and from streams. t nre either the natural or artificial name tye of surface drainage, of. the outnourings of eewers, and uncleanliness from various” sources, The danger of icé taken from im- proper laces is not only froin that whic is drunk, bat from its use in refrigerators and preservatories, where milk, butter, fruits, vegetables and meats are subjected to its saturating iniiuence as it va- porizes. Severalinstances have fallen under the doctor’s ohservation where the disease, by the most careful investigation, could not be traced to any other source; and if we a t aa a statement positiveiv made in the London Lancet, 1859, that it ney- er originates de novo, but proceeds from a spe- cialand speeific poison which is capable of diffusion to a great extent,and which preserves its noxious qualities for a long period, even if buned for many months, we can not reject the bypotbesis of ice intection ; and it is hoped that it will be made the subject of very thorough and careful cxamination.

Dr. Bemiss appears confident that the pre- cautions taken by Dr. White wiil effectually eliminate all trace of disease, and with plena- ry powers from the sanitury association, eminent scientist is virtuaily master of the sit- uation.

Yesterday at 2 o’clock, the Times calied at the house No. 105 Bourbon street, and being conducted to a rear room was shown a little child named Lonis Afflrey, ap- parently about three years old, who seemingly wos ut that time in extremis. The writer took up the child’s hand and found tbat he was entirely free from tever, but he wes extremely nervous, restless and a little delirious. ‘his sufferer was taken sick on Fri- cay last with a severe cold, and was brought to the city on Sunday last, reaching the city and the present iocation about five o ‘clock Sunday atternoon. Dr. E. A. Murphy, a leading homeopathic " physician, wus sent for and reported the case to the Board of Health asoneot unmistakable yellow fever. An eld- erly lady of the house stated that when the child arrived his face was a fiery red, and that he had a high fever with great heat. He threw up black vomit copiously. Itis stated that Dr. S. 8. Herrick, secretary of the Board of Health, visited the patient with Dr. Murphy, ‘and concurred with him in bis previous- ly expressed opinion. In medical circles the case was very generally known al- most as soon as it was reported, and a majority of these gentlemsn admit thatit is a genuine case, although not originating in this city. The patient was yesterday “yoorning visited by Dr. S. 8. Herrick, of the Board of Health, who pronounced it unmistakably yellow fever. The writer hereof, although possessing no professional knowledge what- ever, is nevertheless of opinion that the chila was in a much better condition at il o’clock last night than it appeared to be at 2 p. m., and although he may be deceived, he is nevertheless under the impression that it is slowly improving. Accompanied by Mr. J. C. Henderson, Sec- retary ot the Auxiliary - Sanitary Associa- tion, a representative of the Times yester- day afternoon made a tour of the fourth district. The sanitary work done in this dis- trict yesterday is evidence of the zeal of the Auxiliary Sanitary Association. No less than four carts loaded with disinfectants were sent - day, two at a. and one at 2. The corps yesterday made 894 inspections, which included the examination and disintec- tion of thirty-two squares. The work will pro- _— until the entire district has been inspect- ed. The only case of yellow fever in the district is located on Seventh street, and was seen on Monday evening by a representative of the Times. The patient is a man of middle age. Mempis Brevities.

High socis station is always the indication ofa comi- monplace mind, ‘and in a case”like this the dilettante leaders “1 lows them. In matters and culture, unless they4ake the cue from those wiser than themselves, they are cer- tain to err, and no enduring fame can be built on their approval. The question whether the age could ap- preciate or even endure a truly great man or woman is not worth considering until some true greatness comes forward to make the’ test. Bernhardt’s nearest approach to greatness is asan exponent of the highest form of dramatic art, but she might have been a greater actress and won less renown if she had not kept a neat article of a coffin in her bed-room, and if in addition to acting well she had not painted and modeled badly. And above all she might never have had more than a local celebrity if she had not charmed the world by meeting it halfway, by repaying its admiration with a captivating lavishness in the display of her accomplishments and by allowing herself to be advertised in the way in which the world desires to see its celeb- rities advertised. She is something more than a celebrity, however; quite a phenomenal person who seems to have dis- appointed none of that interest which she has aroused, and her reception in the United States will be equally gratifying to her and creditable to that chivalry which is one of the strongest traits in the American char- acter. she is INSURANCE THAT INSURES. The peace of the Commonwealth of Mis- souriis threatened by the existence of an illegal and dangerous insurance company, carried on by members of the Merchants’ Exchange, and the attention of the Insur- ance Commissioner has been called to it. The offending institution differs from other life insurance companies in having no ex- pensive office with plate glass windows, and highly-salaried officers, no actuaries with incomprehensible statements of re- serve and risk, and loading and unloading no pertinacious solicitors with glib state- ments of every detail, except the trifling one that they immediately pocket twenty- five dollars out of every hundred that you it has no ratio of expenses to fact, of the features made insurance pay them; none life insurance earnings—in which have sO popular unpopular with men, and 80 with everybody else.

If any complaint were to be made it ought to come from those whose money supports it. But the only objection comes from those who have nothing whatever to do with it,but who are naturally irritated at seeing an insurance association accomplish the work for which it was summoned the State Superintendent of In- surance to rid the earth of this dangerous intended, and who have and noxious innovation. We hope that the Superintendent will try, but we are reasonably certain that no law or official of the State can prevent individ- ual citizens from paying a dollar or so whenever it suits them. It would be in- teresting, however, to see the State law, which was wholly powerless to prevent swindles by which the people were robbed of millions, strained to persecute a wholly volunteer association in which no element of dishonesty can enter and which is even free from the influence of greed or of gain. illustration of how little is the wisdom needed to govern the world, that a State confessedly competent to swindles swindlers in life insurance should atone for It is a fair in- and which is punish its incompetence by providing for the sup- pression of harmless and honest volunteer associations. It is the duty of the Gov- ernment to punish dishonesty and fraud, but, though millions have been stolen in this State by bogus life insurance, not one swindler has ever been punished. With such a record in sight, it is rather comical to contemplate the appeal to the authority of the Commonwealth to step in and sup- press and otherwise punish the only in- stance of insurance in the State in which the whole amount contributed goes to the benefit of those who contribute it. ——$——- — — —_—_— THE Glebé-Denocret this | morning pub- lished an abstract of the several laws passed at the last session of the Legislature.

Yet we challenge the Globe-Demo- crat to pass an opinion on the work they have done, and to deny that the legislation was beneficial to the best interests of the State. Nearly every one of the laws passed has for its object the correction of some abuse, the removal of some pub- lic burden, the improvement of the methods of government. The wisdom of some of the acts may be questioned, but, on the whole, the record of the session will com- pare favorably with that of any Legislature in this country; and we call on the Globde- Democrat to show a little common fairness and decency to the State in which it is published.

No man ought to desire office. except as a means of serving the public. For my part, while I am anxious that true Democratic policies shall prevail in the Government, I know that the Democratic party has many members capabie of carrying these out; but that without united and harmonious action in the party it isin vain to expect its success. I announce, therefore, thatI am not and will never again be a candidate for any office whatever; that I shall hereafter take no part in conventions or in the selection of candidates for office; but that I will give my earnest support as a private citi- zen tothe candidates of my party,in this State this fall, and in the country at large next vear, whoever they may be.

The Okolona States has had to bear the brunt of being the champ- ion jackass paper of the United States for some time past, but now it has found an equal in Iowa, onthe Republican side. The Lemar (Iowa) Sentinel, of last week, under the caption, ‘‘How to make us a Nation,’’ has this crack-brained proposition to offer: ‘‘Complete the revolution of 1860-1855 by - ‘*1. Formally changing the name ot this Re- public to America. ‘*2. Abrogating so much of the Constitution of what was the United States as conflicts with National solidarity, Forexample, such clauses as recognize the individual departments as States; that give to each State two Senators irrespective of population; that give to each State one and only one vote, in case a Presi- dential election is thrown intothe House; that permit each State to adopt a Constitution of its own; that recognize State courts; thatinhibit the National Executive and his Cabinet from reviewing so-called State legislation. ‘*3, By avrogating ail State Constitutions, and granting tothe provinces or departments thus created charters, under which the citi- zens of each department might transact their business. ‘*4.

Here they have a leader in the field; let them follow him. ‘ | mal Increase in e 1873. The Value of the Trade in Hard Wood Doubled in Four Years. St. Lonisisthe third largest lumber market inthe world. This is the more remarkable from the fact that this point is so far removed from the great lumber regions, out of which the main supplies of the world are drawn. The Mississippi River plays a prominent part in this question. Its broad Losom and rapid but regular current are well adapted to rafting, which is the cheapest method yet discovered tor the trans- portation of lumber. And here, again, comes the advantage St. Louis has over all other cities inthe matter of location. She is not only on the banks of the great river, which presents an unbroken and un- obstructed passage-way to the Falls of St. Anthony, far to the North, but sheis at the fociofa series of railroads that traverse a mighty and growing region ofcountry. Think of the cities, towns, villages, hamlets and dwellings that have sprung up in thej great West and Southwest during the past ten years! These have been built mainly with lumber purchased at this market. But as yet the vast regions that look to ST. LOUIS AS A MARKET are intheir infancy, and only the preliminary march of civilization, wealth, and general improvement has commenced in their borders, and the growth ot the lumber industry at St. Louis will be tar greater during the next twen- ty years than it has been during the twenty years past. In 1860 the war cloud spread over the land and darkened the prospect of every enterprise,and while, atter the terrible conflict was over,there wasa period of remarkable prosperity, yet there came withthe panic of 1873 a corre- sponding period of depression which checked and blighted many an industry almost beyond recovery. Itis well known that building has greatly fallen off throughout many portions of the country in consequence of the dullness of the times, and that there should be a decrease in the sales of lumber here was to be expected. Considering these things, St. Louis has held her own well, as will be seen by the following table, showing the STOCK ON HAND of lumber, atthis market, onthe first day of January, tor each year since 1871: Stock on Lumber, all kinds. Laths. 14,281,000 10,854,000 2,361,350 3,427,500 7,290,900 6,850,000 13,740,000 ; 16,688,000 4,579,000 --107,810,5i0 29,506,750 5,738,500 A large stock on hand indicates poorer sales during the season just passed than a small stock, or rather it should be said the smaller the stock on hand the better the sales have been. It will be seen bv the above table that the smallest stock of nine years was on hand January 1, 1874. This was just after the panic of 1873, and business was completely paralyzed. The small- est stock on hand in nine years was on January 1, 1872, which was just before the panic of 1873. Since 1877 there has been a gradual decrease of stock and a consequent increase of sales, On January 1, 1877, there were on hand 138,168,000 feet; on January 1, 1878, there were 112,403,581 feet, and on January 1, 1579, there were 107,810,- 510 teet. ‘Lhe following table will show the RECEIPTS AND SALES ot lumber for 1878: Shingles. 11,281,000 12,203,000 9,565,500 10,406,750 16,229,750 14,680,000 18,863,000 106,985,816 184, 191, 400 121, 370: 671 138,168,000 Sales Racal 1878. lumber 129,806,733 136,017,658 20,008,000 18,286,421 White pine, and logs, ft Yellow pine, Poplar and wood, lumber, logs. 39 423,600, 39,527,325 Total feet 189.238 .333! 193,831,404 4 v0d59, 500! 75,240,750 Shingles, pieces...... »414, 500' 28,255, 3,000 Lathbs, pieces wTITT TTT It isimpossible to give the sales up to this time in 1879, but it is safe to remark that they will be twenty pei cent better than last year. Owing to the very favorable rates obtained on the railroads running west, lumber dealers here bave done an immense business, and itis not too much to say that thereis no line of busi- ness to-duy which is in a healthier and more rosperous condition than the lum- er trade. Some account i character may not be uninteresting. Louis it amounts to $5,000,000 a year, gives employment to about 3, 000 men, The following are the lumber- yard proprie- tors of St. Louis: Schulenburg & Boeckeier. Knapp, Stout & Co.

Schulenburg & Boeckeler are con- sidered the largest retail lumber dealersin America, and Knapp, Stout & Co. are probably the LARGEST LUMBER PROPRIETORS in the world. They possess their own pineries, cut their own logs, sawthem upon their own mills, and do their own ratt- ing down the Mississippi. They own an extent of territory in the pine regions as large as the kingdom of Wurtemberg,Germany. The Eau Claire Lumber Company also owns its own pineries, and is a very powerful and wealthy organization. It stands among the greatest in the country. These three concerns are the leading lumber firms of the United States. Most of the lumber brought to this market comes from Wisconsin, Minnesota aud Michi- gan. ‘That from the first two States comes by raft, but a good deai from Michigan comes by rail. The logs are cut in the winter and taken to the streams, down which they are floated in the spring to the saw-mills. These saw-mills are located mainly at Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, on the Menominee River, Wisconsin, Stillwater and La Crosse. After the logs are sawed up, the lumber is put into rafts of about 1,200,000 teet each ,and sent into the Mississippi River. Most of the rafts comeinto the Mississippi at Reed’s Landing, 120 miles below St. Paul, and out of the Uhip- pewa River. The Wisconsin River lumber comes by Prairie du Chien, or is shipped by the Wisconsin Valley Railroad. The rafts come down the Mississippi in the suan- mer. Some of them simply float] down on the current of the river, while others are pro- »elled by steamers. As soonas they reach St. Louis they are drawn up tothe river bank and the lumber removed _ to Most of! the yards are the west bank of the river, just below the Water-works. Hereths lumber is piled for drying and seasoning, after which it is ready for the market. Much of it goes to the plan- ing mills, where it is dreesed and made into sash, doors, blinds, etc., while much of it is shipped looking just asitdoes whenit gqomes from the river. THE GROWTH OF &T. LouIs may be easily appreciated when the amount of lumber used here is compared with that shipped away. The following statement gives the ratio be- tween local consumption and shipments for 1878: Shipments A ae a ~~ aa ioe Laths, ces. pieces. er and rail 100,483,000 4 £50,000 17°250-000 Lecal eb.

It has been the custom for such a long time to speak ofjthe ‘‘Spanish population’’ of St. Louisthat few people have taken the trouble to think whether St. Louis really bas or has nota Spanish population at all. The element bas certainly been noted as a very quiet one. The few representatives of the pure Castilian blood that arein the city have kept out of the police courts and ether places more famous than notorious, and have gone onin a manner for which the Iberian does not usually get credit, attending to their own business and working steadily and industriously. Mr. Lopez, of the firm vi Lopez & Bro., cigar manufacturers ,'president of the Spanish society ‘*‘La Union,’’ was called on by a reporter and asked concerning the number of Spaniards in St. Louis. ‘*Do you mean Spaniards from Spain or all the people here of Spanish blood?’’ he asked. ‘*All the Spanish-speaking persons.’’ ‘*Well, there are about twenty-seven all told, Spaniards, Mexicans and Cubans.’’ ‘*Are you sure the number is so small as that?’’ ‘*Yes, sir; counting the men alone. Of course, some of them have tamilies; but those who have,bhave nearly all married in the United States to American women. ‘*Well, how many have you in your soclety La Union?’’ ‘*We have, I think, about twenty five.’’ ‘*You are positive the numberis aot greater than that?’’ ‘‘Yes. The majority are from Spain, there aretwo from Cuba and four or five from Mexi- ‘* How are the Spaniards divided in trades?’’ ‘*‘There are about fifteen inthe cigar busi- ness. Weemploy eight here ourselves, six or seven keep saloons and fruit stands and the balance can not be classified; they are in all businesses.’’ ‘*You are from Spain yourself,Mr. Lopez?’’ ‘*Yes, ot course, trom the Province of As- turias.’’ The reporter next hunted up Mr. Cahill, the Consul of Mexico, and found him inclining to the oelief that the: population had been much underestimated by Mr. Lopez. Mr. Cahill said: ‘‘Il am positive there are at least two nundred Spanish speaking people in the city, that is, of Spanish and Spanish-American ori- gin.’’ Mr. Cahill then wrote down the names of all of whom he knew, including the young ladies and gentiemen now attending boarding-schoo!ls in this city, and the list, which was made out with the uassis- tance of Senor Cordero, who happened tv be present, runs thus: From Mexico and New Mexico PEOUM CUBR cc . ccccccccctcdécccccccsstcoece déenecené 2 From Spaiticccccccccccccccccccccccccccccecesccece 23 Cahill went on to state that there were a number of Spanish ladies married to American gentlemen, And, while he could nut state where they were to be found, in: his opinion the number of the col- ony would be found to be nearer two bundred than twenty-seven.

A Jesuit Catechism four Indians. From the papers of Father Brugas, printed in the Magazine of American Histuwry, we take the following extracts from the Jesuit catechism which was taught to the Iroquois, Hurons and other Indian tribes some two hundred years ago: Of the Paradise the Indian Proselyte asks: Q. How is the country in paradise, is it fine? The Father Jesuit answers: A. It is very beautiful, there is no lack of every kind of eat- ables, of all that is poscenney to clothe your- self; you are momen n meta fp respect: if some- body says, I would like to be dressed in such a dress, thereisthe dress before you in an in- stant; if he desires to eat anything, Jesus Christ brings it immediately. Q. De people work in Heaven? A. They do nothing whatever. They do not sow nor do they cultivate the flelds, fof they always find the wheat ripe and plenty of pump- hins and Indian beans, etc. Q. Are the trees the same as here? A. No; for the trees in Paradise are extreme- ly beantiful; they are always in bloom, their leaves always green and they do not fall; the grass never dies. Is the sun the same as here? Does it rain? Does the wind blow? Does it thunder? A. No; itis always fine weather and the sky is never cloudy. Q- Have they fruits in Heaven? .

They have been en couraged in eve- ry possible way by brother coop- ers in lilinois and other States, by the workingmen generally of St. Louis, and from persons in no way con- nected with their interests other than that prompted by sympathy for a class of men willing to earn their living by the sweat of their brows bat prevented from doing so by grasping capitalists—a feeling possessed by «1! who have a spark of humanity within thei. Business men of the city have aided them Ly; contributing largely, which has produced a good feeling among the coopers and demon- strated the fact that there are many men of means who are interested in the cause of labor. Since the strike there has been collected anout $2,500, which has been distributed amon those on strike and used for the support o themselves and families. The meeting was calied to order this morning at Vorwaerts at 9 o’clock, Mr. Coffey in the chair.

In order to —— the course pursued by the striking coopers of St. Louis, we desire to make the following statement ot facts which led to our trouble: 1. Itisa fact susceptible of proot that the price paid for making flour barrel#in this city has been for the past year lower than that paid in any other Western city, while the cost of living has been equal to, and often higher, than in surrounding cities. 2. Forthe past year or twe our employers have been unjust in their demands on us for a reduction of wages for want of a uniform sys- tem,which would oftentimes cause strikes that would result disastrously to both employer andemploye. Many times those exactions bave, from time to time, been acceded to. 3. After having complied with these repeat- ed demands On more than one occasion, as the public well know that our wages have been re- duced far below the cost of living, and that our wives and children have had to join with usin earning a livelihood as best they could. 4. As a fitting finale to all these unjust and oppressive demands, on Monday, the 7th of July, a committee from the unions of our city called a meeting of all coopers in the city working slack work to assemble at National Hall, Broadway, to take into consideration such measures as would resuit to the best in- terest of both employer andemploye. A com- mittee was appointed to draw up and present to us a billotf prices that would equal those paid in other cities. The committee reported the price list, which waa adopted, and with instructions to contract for one year so as to avoid ail strikes that might follow in the case of no contract. The committee called a meet- ing ot all employers to meet with them, and a majority of prominent employes met with the committee; but those present could not agree, as there were three employers who declared they would do as they pleased, and refused to take any part in the matter. While barely able to makea living at the prices paid, we were still unwilling to embarrass our employers by striking,and therefore wet those ewployers for three consecutive days, while su )-committees were appointed to wait upon Mr. Carpenter, of Belcher’s Sugar Refinery, Mr. Jaynes & Co., and Mr. Charles Wonderlich, who rejected our propositions; and it was not until, in our conference witb those employers, they would give us no promise of immunity from further reductions in the future, and give us no limit to possible exactions, that we gave up all hope and determined to leave their em- ploy. 5) Seeing that they, Mr. Jaynes &Co., Bel- cher’s Sugar Refinery Co., and Mr. Charles Wonderlich, adhered to their determination not to join with otheremployers who have con- sidered our proposition and signed agreements with our comrades and all have gone to work, we of Mr. Belcher’s, Wonderlich and Jaynes’, Feeling thatthe compensation offered us was inadequate to support ourselves and those de- pendent upon us, refused to continue longer in the employ of a ‘soulless corporation, whose chiet object appears to be to reduce their employers to a condition of abject poverty. We, therefore, state tothe public this our address, and should we be longer in asking you to withdraw your support from these cor- porations, wbo would willingly injure the iabor of our city by robbing the laborer of his hire? We leave our actions to be passed upon by | the ?udgment of an nubiased public. This appeal comes from about 180 coopers, who compose the humber now on strike. About ten of their number have obtained posi- tions at Alton, Ill., and will start for that place to-day or to-morrow. A resolution regretting the circumstances which forced these men to leave the city was parsed. After the regular speeches, the meeting ad- journed to Saturday night, when there will be arousing mass-mecting of all coopers of the city. HUXLEY ON SNAKES. The Great Scientist Turned Snake Charmer. Grace Greenwood writes from London: ‘‘I lately attended one ofa series of natural his- tory lectures, given in the picture gallery at the zoolegical gardens, nextto the snake house. It was on ‘‘Snakes,’’ and delivered by Prof, Huxley. I went, and must confess, princi- pally to see him, though the subject has for me a horrible tascination. I found the lecturer marvelously like his picture, the photographs esnecially. The sun could hardly miss fire on so marked and individuala head as his. He looks, however, more like aclose and careful student than the bold thinker and theorist, his face having a pure and passionless expression for all its rugged and powerful character, and bis eves a serious, absorbed, almost inconvert- : *- look. He came on the platiorm very prompt- . but quietly, and immediately set to work a his simple exordium. An at- tendant had brought in an omin- ous looking box similar tothose we had once seen on the stage ofa Paris theater in the ‘*Spectacle of Rothomago,’’ in the snakc- charmer scene, and presentiv the professor slid back the lid, and gently lifted ont a young boa-constrictor, which he said was quite tame, having been born—or hatched—and reared at the ‘‘Zoo.’’ This, with occasional remand- ings to his prison, he kept before us as an il- lustration, tillhe came to treat of poisonous serpents and tbeir peculiar construction. The gencral anatomy of the snake, its move- ments, its mode of coiling and uncoiling, this gentle creature was made to exemplify. He handled the formidable but sluggish rep- tile dimost as though he loved it, winding it about his wrists, patting it and stroking it. playing withit caressingly and coquettisnly, as a young lady, duringa morning call in win- ter time, plays with its soft and comfortable nemeseke of sable or ermine. Tosome of the audience the sight wasa trying one; several sensitive ladies grew faint and went ont, tothe relief of those who remained, as the little ball was crowded to snffocation and hot enourh to have meited down the brazen serpent of Moses.’’ i — Astronomy for South Africa. Gen. Cunynghame, who tor several years commanded the British forces in South Africa, ina book lately published, tells the following story that he heard in the Transvaal, as illus- strating the primitive condition of affairs in that province: A schoolmaster was lately ap- pointed in Zoutspunberg. One of the earliest lessons was to teach the children thatthe earth turns on its own axis. The children went bome and were impertinent to their parents and toid them thatthe earth went round the sun. The elders of the district met and consulted regard- ing the new doctrine, and finally agreed to re- ter the subject to the minister, who requested the schoolmaster to explain. The schoolmastersaid: ‘*I teach tnem noth- ing but the movement of the heavenly bodies and that the earth revolves around the sun.’’ The minister answered: Well, this may be, no doubt, what the earth does in Holland; but it would more convenient at nt if in Zoutzspunberg you would allow the sun still to go round the earth for afew years longer. We do not like sudden changes in such matters.’’ The schoolmaster took the bint, aud for the present the sun is allowed in Zoutspunuberg to more as heretofore. - — THERE stood in meadow grasses ankie deep One who awakened from her maiden sleep, And waking, turned to me with smile divine, And blusbing let her hana one close to mine Sobenens And all the golden sunlight rained its gold On tresses bright as any ray t hold, And all the fervent my of day Wore fairer splendor than in Sy and ray For what is earth if love be not our day? what is love if love care not to satay steal our hearts in A Jed and , Whenever you think it worth while to do so.

It lies north of his main equatorial belt, and partakes of the planet’s motion of revolution without materially altering its po- sition. By rough calculation it is about 20,- 000 miles in length, by from 1,500 to 2,000 wmiles wide. Since it was first seen by the writer it has performed about thirty revolu- tions with the planet, without suffering any special change of shape or appearance. In the meantime smaller spots and markings in itt neighborhood on the planet bave undergone many changes, some disseppeaiing and others coming into existence, One of the most remarkabie features of this strange spotis its color. Under magnifying powers varying from 160 to 2320 diametersi prot acoppery hue verging on the color yurned brick or red chalk. Assuming as tr¢q the theory that the dark markings on Jupi are openings, or rifts, in bis cloud-choked mosphere, revealing glimpses of the reali be of the planet beneath, the thought instinetiy ly occurs, in looking atthe spot, that the co cealed body must be glowing with heat, lt red-hot metal. This accords with the vie of those astronowers who think that Jupiter now passing through a stage of the cool atreoy, that was completed in our globe eiore life appeared upon it. eee See * SSO reas The Kiss of “a Serpent.

THERESA M, SETLEY. — [Yonkers Gazette. ct THE POETRY OF MURDER. How a Young English | Girl Met Death at the Hands of Her Lover After He Had Written Her Obituary Verse. [From the London Times, July 19. ] At the Crown Court, Leicester, yesterday, before Lord Justice Thesiger, John Biggs, - eighteen, millwright, was charged ‘with the murder of Mary Ann Bromwich at Evington on the 19th of June, 1879. The deceased, a mill-hand, was in her twenty-second year, and had been keeping company with the pris- “oner. Both seem to have been much attached to each other. Elizabeth Matthews, a factory hand, de- posed that in the morning she heard the pris- ~ oner asking the deceased to *‘have a half-day ‘with him.’’ She refused, anda slight alter- cation occurred. It ended by the prisoner giving the deceased a slight slap in the face and saying she would have to go. Then the witness. at her request, got hera _ half-holi- day, and the prisoner and deceased started for a walk together. Ann Peberdy saw them the same afternoon on the road. She thought the prisoner seemed much agitated. The deceased was smiling and cheerful and had a bunch of white hawthorn blossoms in her hand, and Mrs. Peberdv had some talk with her about the beauty of the fields and the landscape, thinking . as she said, to ‘‘pass off’’ the young man’s agita- tion. George Smalley saw the prisoner and the deceased together about 4 o’clock. About 6 he passed along the road again, going home from his work, and saw a woman lying in the ditch; thinking ber drunk, he passed on. La- ter he came back with Peberdy, the brother of the former witness, and found the same wo- man still lying in the ditch. They took her up and she proved to be the deceased, quite dead, with her throat cut. On the following day Biggs was arrested near Wigston. At first he resisted and denied his guilt; but afterwards, when brought to the police station, said, ‘*It is all right; [am the man. Ididit.’’ He also said that if he had not been taken he would have put his head on the line’ before night. A woman's apron was foundin his pocket. The prisoner said, ‘*That is Polly’s: I loved her.’’ In his pockets two documents were also found. The first ran thus: Jobn Biggs, 29 Thomas street, Leicester. DEAR MOTHER:—I bid you and all fare well, and I hope this will be a lesson to all mv brouthrene and sisters and I hope that none of them will take my steps, and Harry be rule with me and never gointo a publick case and never vo vith any yirlsatali for you may be the ssine us meif vou do.

Field in my a tor the other paper. . B1GGs, 29 Tomas street, Leicester. The setesnet acknowledged the documents first at the request of the police. He afterwards said he had cut the girl’s throat with one of his uncle’s razors, which he had put back in its place. For the defense the chaplain of the jail was called to prove that the prisoner had no idea of the nature of the offense he had committed and that his thoughts seemed to be entirely occupied with the question whether he should see the deceased in a future state. He gener- ally occupied himself with writing on a slate the lines which he wished to ve printed on her funeral card. His manner was strange and he was inthe habit of smiling even when talking of the most serious subjects. It was proved that the mother of the pris- oner had been several times out of her mind since 1863, and had to be kept under constant supervision for fear of suicide; that she never recognized one of her children for a year after its birth; that up to the present time she was in a strange state of mind and had lately asked to be sent toalunatic asylum. Her brother was also deranged and had been under re- straint, and his father also had shown de- rangement on several occasions. The prisoner himself had been subject to _ epileptic fits up to. the age of thirteen years, and one of his brothers had shown signs of mental weakness. Dr. Crossley con- firmed the evidence of the insanity of the pris- oner’s mother and brother and of the epileptic fits of the prisoner himself. and gave evidence of the fact that epileptic fits frequently led to mania. He had visited the prisoner in jail, and was of opinion that he was suffering from monomania with regard to the crime he had committed. Mr. Simms iieeve said he pro- osed to put the surgeon of the jail into the ox, and, if he confirmed the evidence which had been given as to the prisoner’s state of mind, he would not press the case further. The surgeon of the jail confirmed the evidence of Dr. Crossley. His Lordship expressed his concurrence in he course taken by Mr. Reeve, and told the ury that not every form of insanity would show thatthe man who committed a crime Was ignorant of the nature -of his act. The moral powers of a man mentally affected might be left untouched, so that he might know that he was doing wrong. Butif the mental! condition of a man at the time he com- mitted a crime was such that he either did not know the nature of the act he was committing, or knowing it was unconscious that it was wrong, then, accord- ing to the existing state of the law, he would be entitled to acquittal on the ground of in- ‘sanity. His Lordship then pointed out the concurrence of several kinds of evidence in favor of the view that the prisoner’s mind was unsound, saying at the same time that if they thought he knew the nesture of his act they had no choice but to find him guilty. The jury after along deliberation found the brisoner guilty, with a strong recommenda- en to mercy on the ground of his youth. His Lordship passed sentence of death in be usual form. The prisoner was removed, bxclaiming, ‘‘Ain’t I | happy now?’’ ORD BYRON’S WIFE AND SISTER. rs That Seem to Explode Mrs. Stowe’s Scandal. {From the New York Evening Post. } The scandal, revived some time ago by .» H.

[From the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise, July 22. | Yesterday morning at 7 o’clock, as the shift was being changed at the Yellow Jacket Shaft, ten men had a narrow escape from death. These men got on board the small skip at the 2,300 station to go to the bottom of the shaft. They bad gone but a short distance before the eccentrics of the donkey engine broke, and the skip, with its living freignt, started for the bottom at lightning speed. P. McCarthy, the engineer, knew that the descending skip must be stopped or al] on board would be dashed to pieces at the bottom of the shaft. He instantly seized a heavy plank, the end of which he thrust be- tween the pinion shaftand the reel or drum from which the cable was paving off. By hauling down onthe end of the plank acted as a brake, and finally brought the skip to a stand, when it was within twenty feet of the bottom of the shaft. The drum was revolving at lightning speed when the plank was first introduced, and the friction produced streams of tire and smoke, but the pressure gradually told, slowed down the speed of the skip, and finally stopped it. To thrust the plank into the rapidly-revolving machinery was a dan- gerous experiment, and might have cost Mr. McCarthy his life, but he _ = got the right hold in the start, and held on with bull-dog tenacity. ‘To do the richt thing, just as he did, at the right moment, required great quickness of thought. The plank, the place where it was to be inserted, and how it was to be used, must all have been thought out in a single’ instant. During the descent of the skip che man leaped from it and caught tne bell rope, holding to which ne managed to swing himself to a wail-plate. Another jumped and caught a wall-plate, but lost his hold and fell, but in falling caught a rod passing horizontally between the sinking-guides, some _ ten feet cver the skip, where he held on till it stopped. Thus it will be seen that this man did some lively traveling. He got off the skip, and not finding a rood landing place on the wall plate, be went down until he over- took the skip, when he got aboard of it at the point which seemed most convenient. Aside from a severe shaking up and a bad scare,the men all came out of the scrape about as sound as when they got into it. Owing to the Weather. {From the Detroit Free Press. ] A big pewsboy was yesterday doubled over a bench at the City Hall Market, too sick to move and too discouraged to care what be- came of him? Twoortbree of the motherly marketwomen fixed him up a dose of pepper, and when he was a litile better one of them paid: “Boy, you want to alone?’’ **Harvest apples!’’ think eight or nine harvest apples double up a big boy like me?’’ ‘*? -aw you eating cherries, othe: woman. ‘*T know you did, but bain’t I used to cher- ries? Humph:! Why , 1’m fifty times as big as a quart of cherries!’’ **And he bought two cucumbers off my stand an hour ago?’’ squeaked alittle black- eyed woman. ‘*Yes. I did,’’ answered the boy. ‘‘but they didn’t only make a mouthful. ‘T’other night I ate ten all at once and they didn’t hurt me a bit.’’ ‘*‘And I saw him eating tomatoes and tur- nips!’’ solemnly remarked a tall man with green glasses on. **Sposin you did!’’ wailed the boy as the colic got a fresh grip: let harvest apples he sneered. ‘*Do you could . i put in an- to give a boy any show to git along? I tell ye, it’s this here storm what ‘affects me, and if you women had any mercy on me you’d bring mesome plums and green corn and bologna and pears and a dish of ice cream to take this pepper taste out of my mouth!’’ a ; A Minnesota Bride Abducted by Her Brothers. [From the Fergus Falls Advocate. } ‘*The story of true love never runs smooth, ’’ and we are compelled to chronicle an event that proves the old proverb to be true. On Sunday last George Haynes, of Campbell, and Miss Nancy A. Cross were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by Justice Beardsley, of St. Olaf—a runaway wedding. The bride has been residing at Campbell with her brothers, her parents living in Wisconsin. The ‘*big brothers’’ did not approve of the marriage— in fact, they were mad—mad all over —and followed on the track of the bride and groom, with ‘‘blood in their eye.’’ On Tuesday they discovered the young couple at Bell’s Hotel, and George, the bride- groom, afraid oftheir threats of shooting him, kept close in his room. On Wednesday a par- ley was commenced, and. underthe thin guise ef the bride going to Wisconsin to visit her parents, the big brothers abducted her from the bed and board of George, whois now a **grass-widower’’—and just what he is going to do about it remains to be seen. Neverthe- less, the proceedings and threats of the brothers would seem oa be a gross outrage. A Man Who was inesd Sixty-Three Times, and From Whose Body One Hundred Gallons of Water Were Drawn. {From the Little Rock Gazette, | Mr. John R. Walker, of the drug firm of Cook & Walker, is dead, having rendered unto the earth the body that is “the earth’s, and unto God the soulthat is God’s, late night before last. Mr. Walker’s sufferings were almost unparalleled. About four vears sgo he was seized with that terrible disease, dropsy. It soon became necessary to tap him, after which he partially regained his health. Butthe hand of the disease that had grappled him still remained, and after a time he was again stricken down, when it again became necessary totap him. Since then he has been tapped sixty-three times. One hun- Sree ganene of water, aggregating from these tappings, were drawn from his body. But even this temporary relief failed to be pro- duced by tapping, and aweek ago last Fri- day, while behind the counter at his store, he sank to the floor, never to rise again.

[From the Philadelphia Press. ] LANCASTER, PENN., July 28.—Between 2 and 38 o’clock this afternoon a seven-year-old deaf and dumb boy, son of Benjamin Charles, of this city, was knocked down by a two-horse coach, on North Queen street, and was trampled under the feet of the horses. Singu- lar to relate, no bones were broken, nor were there any internal injuries, or even severe cuts or bruises; but more singular by far is the fact that the child, who had never been known te utter a loud sound before, cried out lustily when he found himself under the feet of the horses. He was conveyed to his home in the coach which ran over him, and it re- mains to be seen whetker the accident will re- sult in his finding speech. **wasn’t tomaters and | | turnips made to eat?

According to Mr. Coyie there were only two copies of the saint’s original prophecies in Ireland. One had been sacredly preserved by the Coyles, and father and son hadswornto learn the prophecies by heart and defend the book with their lives. Mr. Coyle’s yvrandfather had, by means of the prophecies, predicted the Irish rebellion many years before it actually took place. The old gentleman was known to possess the sacred book of prophecies, and one day when left alone he was murdered and the book stolen from him. Conductor Coyle was sacredly taught the prophecies, and his predictions have turned out so true, it is said, that every one on the Eighth avenue railroad knows his powers.

A Pleasure Trip of the German Turners Occa- sions All the Trouble—Wha' the Wabash People Say in Their Defense. The war between the railroads has extended from the Western to the Eastern lines. Last night the cutting in passenger rates was inau- gurated by the Eastern roads, and tickets can now be purchased for cities in the East at ex- tremely low rates. The ‘‘scalpers’’ are selling tickets to-day as follows: New York, $9; Phil- adelphia, $9; Washington, $9; Baltimore, $9; Cincinnati, $6, and Buffalo, $9. In consequence of these low fares, there has been quite arushto the railway of- fices to-day,and the scalpers have been doing a rushing business. The ‘*special cut’’ may terminate by to-morrow night. The fight really commenced nearly two months ago. It broke out among the Westera roads, and for weeks tickets from Kansas City to St. Louis have been purchasable at fitty cents. The cutting then arose be- tween the ‘‘Four in Hand’’ roads as they are termed, namely, the St. Louis, Kan- sas City and Northern, Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Wabash and Illinois Central, and the Chicago and Alton. THE FIGHT has been long aad protracted, and is still go- ingon. The rate from Kansas City to St. Louls is fiity cents; to Chicago, $4 75. During the continuance ot this war the arbitrary rate of 24 45 from St. Louis to New Yorkand $20 from Chicago to New York has been maintained by the Eastern trunk roads, based upon the cut rateof fifty cents from Kansas City to St. Louis and $4 75 to Chicago, thus making the fare to New York via either St. Louis or Chicago from Kansas City $24 75. During the last few duys, however, the cutting amongst the West- ern lines has become fiercer, and tickets could ve bought for $15 trom Kansas City to New York. The chance for doing this was afforded, itis said, by the Wabash, and the lines run in connection therewith via Hannibal. Of course all the lines east suffered, as the arbitrary rate is divided amongst the lines over which the passenger goes pro rata,according to the mile- uge of each road. Yesterday the ‘‘cutting’’ reached St. Louis, On the 3d inst. there isa grand Turnerfest in Philadelphia, in which the German Turner So- ciety of this city was to purticipate. Of course the society wanted to procure special rates for their members, as quite a number of them were going to Philadelphia to take part in the fest. The trunk roads going east agreed to is- sue tickets to the society tor the return trip at twenty-five dollars. It is, however,contrary to the rules of thetrunk lines and te the arrangement existing between them to allow any round-trip tickets to be issued. When the head authorities of the roads were intormed ot the arrangement that was con- templated they ORDERED IT TO BE CANCELED. This was accordingly done, all the roads agree- ing thereto. It may be stated here that the trunk lines | running east from this city are the Wabash, Indianapolis and St. Louis, Vandalia, and Ohio and Mississippi. The Chicagoand Alton and | the Illinois Central also run east, but these two **pooling’’ materially companies arrange into first roads have a sort ol inent, and do not enter the present fight. The four | mentioned now accuse the Wabash ot bad faith and causing the ‘‘cutting.’’ They assert that | the Wabash Road in violation of the agreement between the companies and of its express pledges granted a special rateto the Turners, and by a subterfuge got over the difficulty of selling round-trip tickets. Last nignt the Wa- bash issued to the Turners tickets over the Wabash, Canada Southern, Erie and Lehigh Valley at the rate of $22 50. Then when the Turners were on the train they furnished them with a return ticket free, thus acting according tothe letter but notthe spiritof the trunk agreement. This of course was the same thing as selling a round trip tick- et to Phiiadelphia for $22 50. As soon as tbe Vandalia heard of this move of the Wabash they, to meet this *‘cut,’’ also issued round trip tickets tothe Turners. Last evening ninety-seven holders of these round | trip tickets went over the Wabash and about fifty over the Vandalia. Of coursethis brought on a war between all the Eastern roads. The roads which have issued these ‘*CUT’’ TICKETS, besides the Wabash and the Vandalia, the Ohio and Mississippi, on account of the Balti- | | OA&lS. BACKS....+ee- more and Ohio, Atlantic and Great Western, und Erie and Lehigh Valiey. Onthe Vandalia the name of the purchaser ot the ticket is en- tered in writing. The present ‘‘cut’’ is only a special one, and will terminate to-morrow unless the lines be- come embittered with each other and deter- mine on continuing the light. These tickets that are issued ure good until the 4th inst., when the bearer must bave arrived at his destination, 80 that to- morrow night will be the last opportunity for Eastern bound travelers to avail themselves ot the cheap fare, as they would not arrive in New York or Philadelphia until the 4th. Tue tickets gre good for return to the 31st of August. As alltbe otber lines concurin biaming the Wabash tor inaugurating the present war, a PosT- DISPATCH reporter interviewed the agent of that line. ‘That gentleman seemed to think the Wabash wus not to blame. He”~ said that last November the roads agreed to what was called the re- demption scheme, by which each line wus to redeem all tickets issued below regular rates. This agreement had, however, PARTIALLY FALLEN THROUGH, and was not strictly complied with. Last Tues- day a meeting was held in Maj. Simpson’s of- fice at the Vandalia, to officially determine whetherthe redemption scheme was in force ornot. The Wabash had always acted uptoit, and only last Friday redeemed some ot its tick- ets that were sold below regular rates, but the other companies declined to redeem their tickets. At the meeting the redemption scheme was declared off; consequently there wasno agreement be- tween the eastern lines out of St. Louis at all, and the Wabash had a pertect right to sell tickets at any ratethey saw fit. The Wabash had sold no round trip tickets, neither had they violated any agreement, because there was none in existence for them to violate. The actual prices at which the roads are sell- ing tickets now are difficult toobtain. The officials are very reticent, and sim- ply say they are issuing them a little below regular rates, but there must be an immsnse cut,as the ‘‘sealpers’’ are enabled to offer them at $9 for New York and other East- ern points, and of course they make a profit. A ineeting of the agents of the various roads was to be held in Chicago this afternoon, when the ‘‘cutting’’ will probably be considered and a decision arrived at. FRIDAY’S FINES. * The Record of a Dull Day-in the Police and Criminal Courts. Petty Cases of Crime and Misde- meanor—Police Notes. Unlucky Fitzpatrick. John Fitzpatrick is decidedly out ofluck. On last Sunday he went out tothe Sons of Erin’s picnic at St. Paul and got badly clubbed, be- sides hearing an address of Prosecuting Attor- ney Hogan. On his return home he went to Lundt’s grocery store at No. 916 Biddle street and stole a package of coffee white tn e proprietor’s back was turn- od. He was arrested shortly after and brought up before Judge Cady this morning on a charge of petit larceny. He pleaded not guilty and Counselor Warnhoft made an eloquent address in his behalf, but it was of no avail, as the Court sentenced Fitzpatrick to six months in the Work-house. Friled to Prosecate. When the case of John Lowery and Louis Levy was called in the Three C.’s Court this morning, William Mullin, the prosecuting witness, failed to appear, and the case was dismissed at his costs. The defendants were charged with having stolen an $18 coat from William Mullin, of No. 318 Chestnut street, on the 27th of last month. For Want of Prosecution, The case of Mary Ryan, Jobn Gray and Mi- chael Ranahan, charged with grand larceny in stealing $105 from Jacob Stocke on O’ Fallon street, on the 20th of iast month, was called in the Court of Criminal Oorrection this morn- ; eo et & b that | oe ae Henry Williams and Henry Jones, both col- ored, who stole $25 worth of brass cocks and lead pipe from Mawdsley plumbing establish- ment, No: 113 North Sixth street, one week ago, pleaded guilty to a charge of petit larceny before Judge Cady to-day and were sentened to nine months’ imprisonment in the Work- bouse each.

At the meeting before the committee several of the largest millers testified that they conld afford to pay $1 05 for No, 2 wheat, and not make a loss, which statement was the de- cisive point in thequestion.
