GARDNER’S DEATH. State of The Coroner’s Jury Still Investigating the Cause Thereof. More Witnesses Give Their Testimony, Several But Fail to Reveal Any New Facts—A Good Word for Gardner. The Coroner’s inquest over the body of Jack- the negro who was £0 mysterious- Pire son Gardner, ly shot to death va last Monday night on street between Fourth and Fiftn streets, -was resumed at 10:30 o’ciock this morning. No new developments have been made in the case since yesterday, and the mystery si:'l remains unsolved. The first witress to take the stand to-day was OFFICER FENLOY, who testified as foi'ows: On last Monday night, at about twenty min- utes to eleven o’clock, I was standing on the southwest corner oi Fifth and Pine streets, in company with Officer Burke and a private watchman. Iheardashoé fired and cries of ‘*stop him,’’ and, looking down Pine street, saw a negro run- ning directly towards us. I started to head him off and he darted towards the op.- posite corner. Officer Burke pas.ed me and struck atthe flying man with his club but missed him andfell. Then almost in an in stunt there came a second shot, and when I sot around the corner the negro was down. Burke’s talling inierfered with ny pursuit and before I rounded the corner the shot had been fired. If I had been around the corner I should certainly have seen the flash of ithe revolver. On arriving atthe body some one suggested that a hack had better be calied and the man takeu to the Dispensary, which was done. 1 then went downto the Chestnut Street Station to make nw report of the shooting with Officer Hogan, who was dressed in citizen’s clothes. I then went back to the scene of the shooting to see if Icould find any more of our méoin citizens, clothes, There was a large crowd on the ground, but no one had noticed any of the po- licemen so dressed. ldid not shoot at the man at all,and have no idea who fired tne shot. The shot of Ofticer Hogan attracted a great deal of attention, and when the negro turned into Pine;street theie were a number of persons on the street, and the sidewalk on both sides o! the street was pretty well crowded. I did not have my pistol out during the en- tire evening until I got to the station. The three chambers of my pistol. emptied were discharged on the 4th of July. JOUN H. MILLMAN made the foilowing statement: lam ajeweler at No. 409 North Fourth street, and.room at No. 22, northwest fcorner of Fifth and Pine streets ia the Freund baild'ng. On the night Gardner was shot I wasin my room atthe window. I heard da pistol shot south of me and saw aman ranning up Fifth street. Two menran out from the corner of the Goldcn Eagle clothin:s store asif to inter- cept him. Tiey overtouk er came up with him at the opposite corner, aud one struck at him with a club and stumbled, but quickiy re- covered himself. Two men came running north on Fifth street, on the east side, and the four turned thecorner almost together. Tuen the second shot was fired. I can not say who fired the second = shot, but lam certain that oneof the four mer in pursuit Gischarged it. There was no one be- tween the man who was shut and thetour jen above described at the time ot the second shot. John B. Millman. Purks corroberated the statemert of HENRY J. GOODHEART testified after the noon adjournment: ‘*On last Monday night I was standing in front ot Pearl saloonon Vine street between Fourth and Fifth streets, when I saw a mau run around the corner of Weil’s bailding and turn down Pine street. A man or two ran out trom by Freund’s resiaurant building, and one of them paused. There were twoorthiece policemen in that crowd, and the shot sounded like it came from them. Ido not know that I could recognize any one in the crowd of officers and citizens if I met them. Fiom the best of my recollection the man who pavsed in the middle of the street, had on a dark slouch hat. I cannot say that he fired the shot, or who did it, but I am pretty certain that it was nota policeman.’ , The detectives are searching fora Jew who claims to have witnessed the entire affair, and can identity the man who did the shooting. His'name is unknown, and the only clew to his identity is that he passed down Fourth street every afternoon. Wher the inquest adjourns this afternoon it will be until to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock, when another effort will be made to solve the mys. tery. One Who Can Speak Well for Gardner. To the Editor of the Posi-Dispatch: In youraccount of the shootinzgof Jackson Gardner he is described as the lowest vagrant, which report only comes from the police au- thorities to screen as much as possible their cruel conduct. I wish to say that he worked for me the past six months, having full charge of my laundry. which necessitated his work- ing from 6 a. m. to 10 bp. m., and often tall 2 the next morning. On the night of the unfor- tunate affair I dispatched him with a letter to the Times-Journal! office, leaving here at 9°50, and he was on thaterrand when the shooting occurred. He is also descri-: asa stout, powerfal negro. He was avery small man, me weighing over 135 pounds. All in this hborhood who are acquainted with him ra orse my statement asto his generai good bebavior and quiet manners. And as far as I am concerned can say he was strictly honest while in wy employ. FRENMAX, 611 North ‘Kighth Ssreet. St. Louis, Aug. 6. Lacky Lads.

Are there No Rights the Policeman Must Respect? Some Views About the Duties of a Revol- ver-Bearing Patrolman. The Regulations on the Subject—What the Police Authorities Say. The fatal shooting of the negro Jackson Gardner on Pine street on Monday evening, while endeavoring to escape from the police, bas created quite a stir in tne community. Although four or five policemen were engaged inthe affair and the event occurred early in the evening no one seems to know who did the shooting, andthe whole affair is involved in mystery. Considerable discontent has of late been manifested by the public at the condition of the p e. Its detective ability, ,4 f known, isawey below zep*. The Sanders a Gold- soll affairs arestartling monuments to the fa- eflicienc Ahe detectives. There has also been a fing feeling thatthe police are far too ew to use their revolvers on the s¥ghtest provocation, and sometimes even without any provocation whatever. Te case of the negro Gardner,who received his death wound atthe hands oi some unkrown person last Monday, has brought the subject of the use ot firearms by the police into prominent notice. Reporters of the Post DISPATCH to-day in- terviewed several police authorities and po- licemen with the following results: Police Commissioners Finney and were mei ia the Sheriff's office. COMMISSIONER MOFFETT. ‘* What instructions, Mr. Moffett, has the Po- lice Board given the men as tothe use of their revolvers?’’ Mr. Moffet replied that about sixty days ago, just after the Printz murder, the Vice-President had issued instructions to the men not to use their revolvers until inthe last emergency, when they were in pcril of their lives. The Vice-President al30 told them that if they were with 4 crowd of roughs and vagabonds, and it looked as if any shooting Was to be done,they should not be the last to shoot. ‘*Mr. Moffett, wh the case of the nezro Gard- ner, who was trying to escape trom the clutchea of the officer, would the police have a right,to shoot him?’’ ‘*‘No, sir; no,’’ was the emphatic reply; *‘he would have no right whatever to do so.’’ ‘*‘It the man escaping were a noted desperado would the officer be justified in shooting?’’ Mr. Moffet was inclined to think that even then the use of a revolver would not be excus- able. Moffett COMMISSIONER FINNEY, in response tothe reportoiial interrogatories, said the police were only allowed to use their revolvers when their lives were in dancer. Stiict orders bad been given by the Board on | this subject. When a man is taken on the force he is tur- nishea@ with acopy ofthe Police Regulativus. Rule 73 of these regulations says: ‘‘A policeman shall net use his pistol or baton exeept in extremely urgent cases.’’ By ‘‘extremely urgent ecases’’ is understood such cases as. when the Officer's life is en- dangered or the life of @hother person. THE CHIEF OF POLICE. A call was made at the offiee of Acting Chief Capiain William Lee by @ POST-DISPATCH re- porter. Captain Les is a very pos‘tive man in every respect, and when the subject was broached said: ‘*It matters not who killed that negro, it was murder. If one of my officers did it or one of the bystanders, it remaing jus$ the same—murder. When an officer makes an arrest on so petty athing as a misdemeanor, a citv misdemeanor; his authority ag an officer gives him no right to shoot his prisoner. If a pris- oner strikes an officer and ge:s beyond his reach, that officer has rorightto use h's pits tol, only in cases where grave offenses have been committed. The tact of Gardner’s escaping trom Hogan, Burke and Fenlon on last Monday night, and he being swifter of foot than they was no reason that eitber of them shovid draw arevolvcr and shoot him down. I say what I do in this instance, not because that I believe any of my men shot Gurdner, but irom the reason that it was a case of unjustifiables hoot- ing.’’ ACTING CAPTAIN KENNETT, commanding the Central District, entertained the same opinion as d‘d Captain Lee on the subject. Mr. Kennett went further and spoke of the hab‘t o° policemen discharging toner pistols inio the air as did Officer Hogan when Gardner got out of his clutches. Said Mr. Kennett: ‘*This babit of discharging a revolver into the air is a pernicious one, and Iam opposed toit both in law and principle. It is a practice that, while neverthe- less allowed, is not justifia- b'e. When 7 prisoner escanes from an officer, and that officer, to attract ai- tention, elevates his weapon and discharce: it into the air, itis apt to lead any officer or even a citizen to the supposition thatagravecrime has been committed, and acting on the impulse otf the moment, the fly- ing tugitive is apt to receive A shot from the officer or citizen in ignorance of the true offense. And then again the fleeing man is apt to turnin self- !e- fense, and an officer shot down in such an instance would not appear as murder, for his assailant could establish without any tronble self-defense.’’ SERGEANT CHAPMAN, the Chiet’s secretary, is of tue same opin‘on as Capt. Lee and Sergeant Kenneté. WHEN A POLICEMAN SHOULD USE HIS REVOLVER. The police code, in defiring under what cir- cumstances a policeman skould use a revolver, Suys: He should never draw, or attempt to use his pistol, excepiin extraordinary cases, such as in the actual defense of his own or another’s life; when attacked with deadly weapons, or in active pursuit of escaping criminals, charged | with great crimes, as murder, burglary, arson, etc. Shooting at another isacrime,except when proven to be done in self-defense. Therefore, if a policeman, sworn to execute the crim‘nal laws of the State, should, through cowardice, passion, or ma'ice, shoot at, wound, or kill another, he would be criminal in a double sense, for the reason that. in doing so, he would be guilty of violating his oath of office. AN OLD SERGEANT’S OPINION. In response to the question, ‘‘When is an officer justified in shooting a fleeing prison- er?’ one of the oldest sergeants on the police force answered : **An officer must convince bimselt that offense has peen committed, that the man he is pursuing has committed that offense , and tha: ‘t is one pun- ishable with death, or imprisonment in the penitentiary, and tnen if he is unable to cap- ture bis man in any other way, he is justifiedia using bis pistol.’’ OFFICER KINSELLA. Officer Kinsella, patrolman on the Seventh and Locust beat, was asked: ‘*If you order a man to halt and he does not ston, what is your duty to do?’’ That depends on the nature of the crime. If it is a felony that I want amman for, then I am | ‘*Supposing you saw a party escaping after hearing a pistol shot fired?’’ ‘*Then I would shoot at the man,ifI couldn't stop him otherwise.’’ ‘‘Isn’t it possible that the first shot might have been fired \y the first poiicemen in the air — and the escaping man then treated toa dose of loose lead bv a second officer who knew noth- ing about the merits of the case?"’ ‘*Yes, it does happen that way, but you must recollect that we hbaveia’t got two orthres hours to study a thing o! this kind out in. We hear the first shot; the natural idea in aay one’s wind is that murder has been ecom- mitted, and then one has to act in a flash. Supposing we didn't use our pistols to make arrests, how wany arrests do you suppose we could make? Why the first time a murderer got by us there would bea howl ma us for curtying arms ant not using them. ‘*You say, however, that the average lied will jump at the conclusion that | the offense isa very serious one when he sees a man running from a policeman.’’ ‘*'Thatis my experience, and I have been eight years ou the foree.’’ OFFICER M’KANE, of the Third District, said: ‘*An officer is jus- tified in shooting a prisoner when hisoawa lif isin danger from him, or when the man 6 committed some robbery or such offense and then thumps the officer and runs.’’ OFFICER CHARLES BIEHLE. Bieble, who has been .on the police force for the last fouarteen years, now making his daly round on Seventh and Chestaut, was asked what the duty ot a policeman was in making an arrest. ‘*Well, he must take his man, buthe has no right to shoot him.’’ ‘Bat, su ppesethe prisoner breaks away?’’ ‘It tre officer ktows n°ss the pr's- oner can’t get away. let iv be known Sic had arrested got from me. You see we have the nippe to clap right on them.’’ ‘‘Ifa man doesn’t halt when you call of bim?’’ ‘**Well, that Charlies don’t give me any right to kill bim. You sce, there are u lot oi young officers who think those pistols are given them to use every day. Now Ihave been on the torce fourteen yeurs and I bave only used my pistol once.’’ ‘*When do you think tue pistol ought to be us“d?’’ ‘*Well, if 1 knew a man had committed mar- der, or was committing burgiary, orif I were attacked by two or three parties, I would me certainly shoot.’’ ‘*Supposing you beard and then saw @& Man runnipg, w shoot?’’ ‘*Of course not. Iam not so headed that I wonld haye to 4 {saw running in the streets.’’ SERGEANT FRUCHTE. Sergeant Fruchte was found in cha Chestnut Street Station, and the us —uery was put to him: ‘‘How much ought the pistol be dsed by the force?’’ ‘*It depends on ci-cumstances. If the officer is positive a man has committed a telony, ther he must arrest him at all costs. If is not positive, then he is not structed what to do, it Le cannot outru: man and bring him to.”’ ‘*How about firing in the air?’’ ‘*Well, it is an old custom which I like tocallarightone.

He got up and first informed his audience that though he Was aminister, his star was somewhat ob- scured just now by the humiliating fact that, being without a charge, he was obliged to support life as a waiter in a Philadel hia res- taurant. He then drifted naturally intoa fervid exhortation. He spoke until the per- spiration rolled off his face like water. ‘‘Yes, ‘bruddern and sisters, ’? he said, **we’s gwine right tode Lam’.

A Brief Skctch of Mrs. Judah—Her Suf- ferings and Escape From Death. {From the San Francisco Chronicle, July 27.] Mrs. Judah, the dear old lady who takes precedence of all others in point of age, is n0w in a very critical condition, suffering from a severe attack of dyspepsia, in her charming little cottage on Capp street, around which are prettily laid-out grounds, and beautiful flowers and vines that struggle with one another to reach the roof. The interior is taste- fully and artistically furnished, and is a fit- ting retreat for the lady who has studied so hard to please the public. Mrs. Judah has resided in California twenty-eight years. She was born in Orange County, New York, and as far as she knows she has nota relative liv- ipg. Her early history is oneof many trials and vicissitudes. Her childhood was passed in the home of her parents, and was remark- able for nothing save the quiet, pious manner in which she was reared. When she was quite young she married Mr. Judah, and with him traveled over the South. In 1888 they started from Appalachicola on a small trading vesse] bound for Cuba. There was no other lady on board. It was in the season of the year thatstorms are frequent and very violent, and she was told of the diflicul- ties that lay in her way, and how badly she would fare on the ship. sinee no preparations were made for the accommodation of passen- gers. Undaunted by these drawbacks, she, with her husband, took passage in the yesse! —the George Washington. They were o@ but three days when a storm arose, and the vessel suddenly capsized. Allon board were lost but herself and three sailors. She was saved by being lashed to a spar by her husband, and that was the last she ever saw of him. Ile was drowned, together withthe Captain, mate and eight sailors. The sailors who were saved were clinging to pieces of plauks and spars. One of them, after a struggle of three hours, managed to float near Mrs. Judah and picked her up. The others soon floated near them, and with the whole lot of timber a raft was improvised, the sail- ors tearing their jackets in strips to lash the the ars together. Thiswasin the night, and e iadvy had nothing on buta thin night- ress. othing was saved from the vessel, oy even a morsel of food. They floated for On the third despair ‘were -_Tomber three days.

A Widow Loses $20,000 by oe ng— Her Husband, Dying, Makes a Testa- mentary Provision Against Providing a **Nest to Hatch a Brood of Strangers In.’ [From the Philadelphia Times. ] President Judge Hanna yesterday filed an adjudication which takes away from a lady the sum of $20,000 because she had entered che bonds of wedlock against the prohibition of a husband now deceased. ‘‘Man has do- minion over his property even after death,’?’ says Blackstone, and the bony skeleton of Phineas Hough, Jr., yet maintains dominion over the fortune above ground sufficient to prevent it falling to the use of another who stepped into his shoes. When Hough died he left behind him a wife, Elizabeth. He also left a will, in which he provided for her as fol- lows: ‘*My house and lot, No. 521 North Seventh street, with the appurtenances, unto my wife, Elizabeth Lynn Hough, her heirs and assigns, together with the household goods and furniture ana kitecnen utensils therein; also the interest of the sum of $20,000 of my estate, to be paid to her semi-annually for and during all the term of her natural in case of her marriage, the interest of the said sum shall cease. After her decease or mar- riage, as the case may be, I give and bequeath the said sum of $20,000, together with all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate. to my _ (father, Phineas Hough.’’ Notwithstanding the prohibition in the will andthe penalty attached thereto. Mrs. Hough, on Decemver 16, 1878, married Alexander M, Bonbright. . When the trus- tees of the est&te, George Y. Shoemaker and George RK. Lynn, came to file their account, the heirs of the father, who had since died, represented by Furman Sheppard, came into court and asked that the estate be awarded to them, as the widow. by her remarriage, had f: rfcited it under the terins of the will. Isaac D. Yocum appeared torthe widow and Charles Henry Hart for the trustees. The controver- sy before the ceurt is thus put by Judge Han- na: **It is claimed by the widow of testator that the condition annexed to the gift to her, being in restraint of marriage, void, and she is consequently entitled to the income of the fund during life notwithstanding her re- marriage. On the contrary it contended by the executor of the will of the father of tes- tator that the condition is valid, and the wi- dow having forfeited by her remarriage all claim to the income of the legacy bequeathed, the fund should now be awarded to bim. Able and learned arguments were made, and nuin- erous authoritie s, both English and Ameri- e:n, furnished and quoted by the counsel for ihe opposing claimants; but with- cut attempting equal industrv and research the auditisg judge is clearly of the opinion that the condition annexed to the gift to the widow of testator is such a condition in restraint of marriage as would be held to be in terrorum, and therefore void against public policy, were it not for the limitation overtothe father of testator uponthe re- marriage of the widow. Put the limitation over upon the breach of the condition being valid, it follows that the condition itself is also good and must be sustained in order to is 1s is carry into effect the intention of testator. The balance in the hand of accountants will therefore be awarded to the exece- utor of the will of Phineas Hough, Sr., deceased. siieelie ili aicobs af BALTIMORE WOMEN. Their Style and Peculiar Qualities— Their Aristocratic Notions and Con- servative Ideas. What style is to the New Yorker, culture to the Bostonian, family to the Philadelphian, beauty is cothe Balt:morean, says the Ameri- can Queen. It must not be inferred that the dames and damsels on the Patapsco are indif- ferent tofamily. They buiid mi-rhtily upon it; itis atwin weakness with b«.uty. Bal- tim¢re blood is considered there a shade bluer than any blood flowing in American veins, for it is the sole place in the country which was founded and derives its name from a lord, happily a nobleman by na- ture as wellas rank. A great many people of wealth and position receive comfort from the delusion that they are descended by some col- lateral branch from Lord Baltimore, just as many Bostonians receive comfort from tracing their lineage, through the imagination, to the pilgrims of the Mayflower, and the Philadel- phians to William Penn. The fair Baltimore- ans who have no ancestral connection with the Calverts have ties of some sort with the Pink- neys, Wirts, Goddards, Martins, Gilmers, or other historic or semi-historic folk. They are assentially aristocratic in their notions, and are none the worse for these, albeit at times their social assumption seems a little absurdinarepublic. It is mainly on the sur- fate; itis acrochet of long entertainment, which was naturally stimulated by slavery, and which has been slowly disappearing since the establishment of emancipation. Lord Baltimore, in planting his colony, wished to set up there hereditary titles and privileges similarto those in the mother country. and his thousands of feminine descendants may fancy sometimes that they regret he did not succeed. But it is only a fansy. The Baltimore woman is prone to be very conservative and old-fashioned (except in her clothes) about manytbings. Maryland is too much with her; it forms too large a part of her conscious geography; she dweils excessively on the past, and is never quite sure that the present has begun. She is very agreeable and winning, however, despite certain defects, by no means serious, and often made piquaut through heringenuousness. Even when less attractive in person than she is wont ‘to believe herself, sbe has an easy, semi- indolent grace, a fairly cultivated mund, much repose and elegant breeding of the old sort. More stately than vivacious, more in- telligent than humorous, she is an ornament to anv drawing-room anda credit to the re- public, which she would render an honor to Maryland. Her presence is always grateful, ber besring-impressive, almost too much so, and her conversation enticing, when notin the same key. After one has got well ac- quainted and in sympathy with her, he sees that she has mental and secial charms that she owes to nature more than to Baltimore. a Disereshe With Whisky | in View. [R. J. Burdette in Burlington Hawkeye. } I met an American here while stroiling about Montreal. He was avery pleasant man, rather communicative, and had evidently been a man of some importance and a greattraveler. He had been all over South America and had par- ticipated very prominently in several revolu- tions, on one occasion having a large price set on his head by the legitimate government and only securing his safety by redoubling his ef- forts and energetically carrying the revolution through to a successful termination. Then he became entangled in some serious political complications in Brazil and was forced to fly to Patagonia. Then he went to Central America and assisted in the survey of a new route for the shbip-canal across’ the isthmus, fought a duel with a Spanish officer and went south to take command of a Chilian privateer. Then he went to San Francisco, embarked in some mining speculations, made $380,000 in ten days and lost $00,000 in twenty-four hours. Went down into Arizona and shot a road agent; drove stage on one of the mountain routes for a few weeks; twisted a brake on the Union Pacific Railroad for a month; bought a mustang and rode from Sacramento to Deadwood, where he was cleaned out by gamblers, then came to Chicago and went on the detective police force at an enormous sal- ary, but finally had to leave it on account of the intolerable jealousy of Pinkerton; then he went to Toronto, and fiually turned up in Montreal.

He was a small man and it was a big barrel, and pedestrians who saw him looking up the stairs and back at the barrel inferred that it was his intention to elevate it to the third story. But how? **]’d rig atackle and pulley in that third story window,’’ said the first man who halted. ‘*That’s your easiest way, and there’s no danger of aeccident.’’ fle leaned against the lamp-post to calcu- late on the length of a rope, aud the lifting power required, and along came a second man,who took in the situation at a glance and said: **Go and get some scantlings fourteen feet long, and lay ’em on the stairs. Then two men can roll that barrel up there as slick as gre ase.’ The little man looked around in a helpless sort of a way, and athird man came bluster- ing up and called out: **Want to get that barrel up-stairs, eh? Well, now, fasten your pulley at the head of the stairs, and ten men down here can snake the barrel up in no time. Where’s your tackle?’ ’ By this time the crowd had _ increased to twenty.and was pretty evenly divided between a dead lift through one of the front windows and a pulley at the top of the stairs, but the inan Who suggested the skids had a very loud voice, and was determined io carry his point. Taking off his coat he said: **] know what I’m talking about. that Lean skid that barrel up there alone. just wait a minute.’ ’ He crossed the street to an unfinished buiid- ing and returned with a couple of two-by-four scantlings and laid them on the stairs, and the crowd now numbered tifty. ‘*You want this barrel on the third floor, do you?’’ he asked the little man. - € s—but—but—”’ gut what?’ Why, I was waiting for my wife to get the clothes-horse out of the upper hall.

Chouteau Goes Down or with Happy Throng of Men, Women and Children. The Qa of the C. P. Chouteau down ne tiv morning with over three thonu- and beneficiaries of the Fresh Air Mission on board proves conclusively that the mission is at last a success. A hes n talling at eight o’clg 8 morning, but the resolute pleasure ers simply put up their umbrellas and kept ahead. Pine street from Fourth to the river was filled with along procession of old men, * women and children of all ages and conditions, children in arms and children on foot, children ick and well, all anxious to get to the evee hours before the boat could start. ‘*How many have you on board?’’ guerieda reporter of M1. N. 0. Nelson as he gained the deck of the steamer. **Just go up stairs and see.’’ Neither the Chouteau nor any other boat er had such a crowd of buman beings packed nto the same space. It was impossible to move about except as THE DENSE THRONG moved. The seating capacity of the steamer aad given out atthe beginning, and Messrs, papp, Stout & Company kindly supplied nk enough to make impromptu benches for ‘whody. The crowd was thickest in toe of tne cabin-deck. Within the cabin aumber of women were sitting onthe nd their little ones playing about them aandchildren,in all estimated at be- bree and four thousand, were neatly hd cleanly dressed in calicnes, and all were vwidently determined to get allthe health and the pleasure possible out of the day. The PAnice appearance of the gathering caused some doubt to be expressed as to whether the people present were exactly the ones for whom the charity is designed, but in- qguiry at once proved tnat the tickets had been wisely distributed, and that almost every one there needed and could not otherwise obtain the benefits extended. . THE OBJECT OF TITE MISSION is not alone to provide a few hours of healthy atmosphere for the little lungs of the tenement house children and = their mothers, but to give them, at the game time, free medical attendance. This lat- ter feature is just as important an element in the Charity as the former one, and an experi- heed corps of physicians, including Drs. Mar- pens, Kingsley and Steer, are present on the trip to- at: The ladies and gentlemen who have been managing the excursions the en were on hand, them Mr. U. O.

List of the Attractions Already Secured for the Coming Season. Carlotta Patti, G.lbert and Sullivan’s New Opera and the Florences—Minor Notes. Mr. Charles Pope,the enterprising manager ofthe new theater on Ninth and Olive, re- turned from New York yesterday, whither he bad veen to secure engagements for the open- ing season, The new theater will be opened one week earlier than was at first announced. Monday, September 22, isthe date fixed. The attraction for the opening week is nut yet known, altbougb Mr. Pope is in nego- tiation. All the time for the new theater is filled up to January Sth. Amongstthe combinations engaged are Carlotta Patti’s concert troupe, Grau’s Paola- Marie and Capou)! opera company (and, by the way, Mr. Pope affirms that Capoul will tulfiil his engagement with Grau), the Florences, in anew play, the Criterion Comedy Company, James H. Meade Church Choir Pinafore Com- pany, Ada Richmond Opera Company, the Charlotte Thompson and D. P. Bowers com- binations, Milton Nobles, Emerson’s Mega- thenan Minstrels and the Strakosch Opera company,who willappear here twice during the coming season, playing in the fall at De Bar’s and on their return tripin February appearing at Pope’s. Mr. Pope has also engaged D’Oy- ley Carte’s Gilbert and Sallivan Opera Compa- ny. who will produce the new opera of ‘‘The Boid Burglars.’’ For this operetta, which ft is said will create as great a furore as ‘*Pina- fore,’’ there will be an orchestra of twenty-six musicians and fifty persons on the stage. The following extract from an _ inter- view with Mr. Sullivan, published in the New York Times, will convey some idea of the oper here isa good deal of gossip about the new picce. lt hus been said that the idea is a sort of drematized ‘Bab Saliad,’ in which six burglars and six policemen help you to characterize choruses.’”’ _ ‘*‘Ah, that,’’ said Sullivan, handing me a cigar, ‘‘was an idea we had fora short piece; but we have introduced it into the latter part of the new opera, which will bein two acts, like the ‘Pinafore.’ The notion chiefly develops a bit of burlesque of Italian opera. Itisa mere incident. An old gentleman returns home in the evening with his six daughters from a party. Nice bit of soft music takes them off for the night. Tbena big ochestral crash, whicn in- troduces six burglars. They commence their knavisb operations in a mysterious chorus, lights down. Presently the old gentieman thinks he hears some one stirring: comes on; of course, sees nobody; though the burglars are actively at work. The noise is only the sighing ot the wind, or the gentle evening breeze. The old gentleman and the burglars perform a bit of concerted music, and in due course the six ladies enter. The six burgiars are struck with their beauty, forget their vil- lainous purposes aud make love. Chords of burglars and old gentleman’s daughters, whose announcement that they are ‘wards in ehancery’ creates great consternation aniong the bandit lovers. Then there is the pe- licemen’s rescue and other humorous conceits of Gilbert, which I hope and believe will be as funny as anything in the ‘Pinatore’ or ‘Tne Sorcerer.’ ’’ Mr. Pope has engaged Mr. Ed. eee “ an as business manayerand treasurer; Mr. Chas. Long as stage curpenter, and Mr. Richard Halley as scenicartist. The rumor that Mr. Arden R.Smitb, who vroved to be the most unpopular treasurer St. Louis has ever had, wasengaged as treasurer for the new theater, is entirely without foundation. With characteristic energy Mr. Pope is vigorously pushing the work on the new theatrical structure, Thirty more work men were emploved to-day,and it is determined that the theater shall be opened on the 224 of September without fail. While in Mr. Pope bas contracted for the seats. will be precisely the same kind as are the Fifth Avenue Theater, New York. They used at The latest style. All the indications point to an auspicious season tor the new theater, every one wbo admires pluck and energy must congratulate Mr. Pope upon the success he has so far aeuleved. LOCAL CRIME.
