GOING FOR KALLOCH, The Communistic Mayor of San Frar- cisco Officially Drawo and Quarter- ed. SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-——At a meeting of the Board of Supervisors last evening the Judiciary Committee, who had been instruct- ed to take into consideration the utterances and tation and the part borne in it by Kalloeh,find- ing that he has eneouraged the lawless and discontented element, advised them to parade the streets and endeavored to keep them in sucbjdisposition and temperament as to commit an outbreak whenever it should suit bis purpose; that he has impeached the honesty of the whole community, accused various branches ofthe city gevernment of cor- ruption and dereliction of duty, and,under the pretense of counseling the mob against violence, insiduously advised them to be in readiness for bloodshed and the overthrow of the authorities. They expressed the opinion that Kalloech is unecrupulous and unprinct- pled,and devoid ofintegrity and fidelity tothe pubhie interests, and that the time has arrived for the board to express their indig- nation of bis ats, and recommend that prompt acticn be taken to vindicate the fair fame of the municipality by a judicial inquiry into Kalloch’s case. A motion to adopt the re- port was put. by Mayor Kalloch, who announced by viva voce vote that it was curried. The roll was called, resulting in tbe unanimous vote for the adoption. A resolution was then adopted authorizing the Fipan« e Committee to cause judicial proceed- ings to be instituted against the Mayor for his removal from office and empowering tLemto employ counsel and prosecute the matter to a speedy termination. Torough»sut tne reading of the report and resolution Kal- loch appeared cool and unmoved, appearing to consider opiv the dignity of his position as presiding officer of the board.

NEW YORK, May 4.—The Star and Herald, cf Panama, says: General Guardia, President of Costa Rica, visited the commander of the United States steamship Adams, at Golfo Duice. The Ameri¢an commander assured the Costa Rican his orders were very explicit to select a proper place for a coaling station,sur- vey itaclear away timber, and otherwise prepare ground and deposit as much coal as he could spare from the bunkers of the Adams. He was further directed to remain at the place until relieved by another United States ship; but in case he was likely to run short of food and _ other’ supplies, he was ordered to leave the station in charge of natives who were to be employed for account and in the interest | ofthe Government of the United States. In the event of meeting with opposition from authorities on shore, the captain of the Adams was advised to use his own judgment as to the amount of resistance he would employ, but under all circumstances to report the matter to Washington. FROM THE ISTHMUS. - — _ The Chilian Blockaders Arriving in Callao Bay. - — The Proposed American Coaling Station at Golio Dulce. PANAMA, April 24.—The Chiiian blockad- ing fleet announced its presence in Callao Bay by sending before daylichta torpedo launch against the Peruvian corvette Union, anchored wellin shore; but,befure exploding harmlessly against the floating palisude protecting that vessel, the Chilian launch, carelessly or clumsily managed, ran dangerously near the United States steamer Alaska and the Italian frigate Garibaldi, and just escaped a warm reception from _ those vessels. The approacn of the launch was perceived on board the Union before the ex- plosion took place and a heavy fire of musket- ry and Gatling guns caused the launch to te- tire. At the request of foreign consuls notice of the blockade to begin was extended from eight to fifteen days. ARRIVAL OF THE ADAMS. The United States steamer Adams is still at Golfo Dulce, and report from Costa Rica has it that a coaling station has been taken up, but not in a public way or in any manner to cause offense to the authorities of Costa Rica or Colombia, both of which claim jurisdiction over the territory and waters of the Gulf. Surveys of an eligible site . were made, but the flay was not planted over it, nor any deposit of coal made in the name of the Unitea States Government. The plot of land selected was to have been announced as_ private pugetr and to be taken possession such in the usual way. Its employment for the erection of buildings and storing coal would be carried on by private persons who,of course, would enjoy the rights and privileges granted by the country to American citizens. Cone- siderable uneasiness exists in Costa Rica on accoont of the affair. DR. JUSTO AROSEMENA, Minister at Washington of the United States of Colombia, has been appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. — ——-—- ——_—__ BESIEGED BY BRAVES.

The Battle Among the Republican Factions in Illinois. _ — —— Eagene Hale’s Arrival—Washburne’s 4l- leged Treachery—Logan’s Tactics. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, ILL., May 4.—The arrival of Hon. Eugene Hale in Chicago is confirmatioa of the announcement that the Blaine men were corcentrating their forces in Illinois fora berculean struggle to capture the State Convention. While professing the greatest confidence in Bilaine’s eventual success, Mr. E. Hale seems prepared for de- feat at Springfield. His statement was that while Grant could not be nominated without Illinois, and was not certain of it witn Iili- nois, the loss of Illinois would not be fatal to Blaine. He claimed that the majority of the Pennsylvania. delegation would vote for Blaine, that several New York delegates would not be bound by unit rule; that the at- tempt to enforce the unit ruie in the Nationa) Convention would cause the biggest kind ofa row, andthat no Republican candidate can carry the electoral vote of a single Southern State. In the six county conventions neld Grant, while in the other two the delegations are divided. the DELEGATES THUS FAR ELECTED s‘and: Grant, 163; Blaine, 122;Washburne, 2. But maki g all allowances, the Grant feeling is gainine ground owing to the activity of the cluns under the leadership of Logan. The most curious feature of the contest just now is the course of Mr. Wasbburne. Gen. L’ gan’s purpose in return- ing to Chicago was to force the Republican leaders of Illinois to show their hands at once,and not allow them t> wait for the issue of the battle before deciar- ing their allegiance. WASHBURNE. This bold, aggressive course has had its effect upon Mr. Washburne. At the very’mo- ment that a meeting is announced for to-night to start a Washburne boom in Chicago, Mr. Washburne deelares, in an article pub- lished in the ‘Datly News to-day by his authority, that the meeting is without either bis sanction or approval, that a ward meeting, where his son acted as secretary, endorsing his candidacy, pains him, and he is for Grant first, last and all the time, ete. While Mr. Washburne undoubtedly said this, he refused to writé a letter to that effect or to take any action in his own person declaring his views. He ostentatious:iy accompanies Gen. Grant in his trip to Spriag- | field to-day. Gen. Grant did not refuse the vid gentleman’s company, but it is safe to say that neither Grant bor his friends are deceivel a3 to WashLurne’s real attitude, and the. an- nourcement will sbortly pe made gpublie that the firm of Grant and Washbarne have dissolved. Said a prominent Grant Republican to your eorrespondent to-day, referring to Washburn: ‘*He is a d—c& old traitor, aundnow we kuoow it.’? the possibilities is aa ATTACK UPON WASIBURN, frcm the Grant men themselves. claimed that the credit of Mr. Washburne’s stay in Paris during the Com- mune is really due to Grant. Mr. E.. A. Storrs promises to offer shortly indubitable Paris Wasthburne telegraphed for instructions, and Grant, in reply. told him to stay at his post as long as a single German remained in the city of blood and pillage, and bence in remaining Washburne simply per- formed the duty of a clerk at the direction of hiscmployer. r-aruiysis OF the Heart.

Anheuser’s death has saddened many a household of people in_ this city who had learned to know and to love the good old a kindly life ciosed on the Sabbath — day the Anheuser residence, on near Pestalozzi street, was crowd to overflowing with the . friends ofthe family who come to take a ‘eieke:- look at the dead gentleman. lying in a splendid casket one of tbe parlors, its dreary lines being covered with a prefusion of flowers which had been put in position by loving friends.

A PLUCKY BOY. How a Thirteen-Year-Older Saved a Father and Sister. | Bradford (Pa.) Cor. New York Sun. | On Tuesday night last, between 11 and 12 o’clock, John Smidth, an aged German, living on the suburbs of Olean, was awakened bya loud knocking at his door. He had been ex- pecting to see a friend of his named Harrigan that night. He wenttothe door and asked if it was Harrigan who was knocking. Here- ceived an aftirmative reply, and opened the coor. Twomen sprang intothe room. He recognized them as Luke Kane and John Tul- ley, Jr. They hada bowle of whisky, and tried to force Smidthto drink. Besides the old man, two daughters of his, aged twenty- one and fifteen years, anda son, aged thir- teen, were in the house. he girls were sleep- ing in a room off the one where the men were. The oldest girl, becoming alarmed, arose and bolted the bedroom door. The men soon af- terward tried to get inthe bedroom. Find- ing the door locked, Tulley went outside,and, forcing an entrance into the pedroom through a winaow, opened the door andlet Kane in. The girls screamed and tried to escape, but Kane caught the oldest one, and, drawing a revolver, put it to her bead, and swore he would blow her brains out if she did not stdép her noise. Old Mr. Smidth then struck Kane in the face, which caused the ruffian to turn onthe father. Kane was a large, powerful man, and Smidthranintoa closet and locked himselfin. Kane kicked the door open and dragged him out. Mean- while the girls were struggling with Tullev. Kane and Smidth fought until they reached the back yard. Michael Smidth, the thirteen- year-old son, came down stairs as bis father and Kane went out into the vard, struggling together. He ran back and gota gun that was loaded with shot. ran into the yard, and saw Kane standing over the prostrate form of his father. Kane had bis revolver in his hand, and was about to tireattheold man. Th? boy fired first, and Kane fell dead across Smidth, as he lay onthe ground. At the re- port ofthe gun, Tulley fied from the house. On Wednesday Tulley, who is a nephew of Kane’s, made a charge of willful murder against the boy. He wasarrested. Yester- day the Coroner’s investigation was compiet- ed, A verdict of justitiable homicide was rerdered. Tulley failed to appear at the Jus- tice’s cflice to press his charge, and young Smidth was discharged. Old Mr. Smidth was badly hurt by Kane. ‘The conduct of the boy in defending his father has made him a hero in Vlean, and the citizens are taking measures to present him with a handsome testimonia!. Tulley cannot be found. It isthe general im- pression tbat the men went to Smidth’s house with the intention of making the old man drunk and then outraging his daughters. A Gritty Advertiser. s [New York Cor. Chicago Times. | Denman Thompson, with the aia of that marvelous combination of sheer grit and en- ergy called J. M. Hill, has knocked theatri- cai and other people here away off their pins. They said Thompson was played out for Gotham. He migoe do for the country—Bos- ton, Milwaukee, St. Louis and the like—but he would never catch on in Gotham again. That’s probally why Mr, Hill came here ahead of his star, and personally worked up this gentile village. Ineversawa town so thor- oughly advertised in ail my life. Last Sunday every daily paper in the piace had a full page about Uncie Josh. And there isn’t a periodi- } Calof any importance inthe whole city that basn’t had that much of an advertisement at least oncesince Mr. Hill arrived. His bill for newspaper advertising alone has reached the very tiay sum of $5,000—of which nearly $4,000 was laid outin one day. That is a good desl of money to lay out in newspaper advertising. It means the gross receipts of one good week’s business, and there are not many managers who are willing to lay out in one day what they expect to take in on a whole week. But its effect was‘felt on the first night, for Thompson opened to more money than he has ever opened to before, excepting upon one occasion, THE BUSINESS IS GROWING BIGGER, too, and he will play this week to close upon $8,000, J. M. Hill bas got this advertising business down finer than anybody I ever talked with about it. Last Sunday, for instance, he had an exceedingly bad full-page advertisement in the Herald. hen I and es sed my astonishment that he should expen ing, he smiled quietly and told me he did it on purpose. ‘*On pyr poset: I **Yee,’’ he replied. “And you prove to me all that money for such a weak show- | spoke to him about it, , : | , , of its fair denizens. olde ly pla c ; ry —— aa ae Sw the tine t biting the s t partners in wh¢ they ate gilding round the roota. that I was just riglit in the experiment. vertise in order to make poor’ talk, When I wrote out the cop “‘Jast Sunday’s Herald, I put it in thatshape se as.to make everybody who saw it say the ‘ad’ was one of the worst they ever saw. Now, when I succeed in taking in an old bird like you,,I am satisfied that my. rcheme was a good one.’’ ; I said “Oh,” and tried to look as if I had known all about it fora week. ButI hadn’t. ‘‘That is the plan I always follow,” contin- ued Mr. Hill, in that dry, convincing way of his. ‘*You have doubtless heard a good many people pitch into me for buying whole pages of newspapers, when half of that space would do just.as well. They all say to ¢cyerybody they meet that I am the most foolish and reck- less advertiser they eversaw. That is where they are all mistaken. I can afford to pay for that «xtra half page, just to make them tell all their neighbors I have wasted my money. Do you catch the idea? If I only took half a page, it might attract the attention of the people who saw the paper, but it would not be sufficiently astonishing to make them com- ment upon it to their acquaintances. Now, those comments are just what I am after.’ Destroying the Pyramids. {From the London Times.-] The news will be received with regret that in Egypt the hand of the destroyer is at work. A traveler who has recently visited the pyra- mids at Gheezeh, and whose investigations extended to Sakkarah, Dashoor and Maydoon, reports that not only was the work of destruc- tion proceeding at a remote place like Dashoor, but at the very scene of M. Mariette’s opera- tions. There have been removea from imme- diately under the entrance to phe Byes Pyra- mid some four or five large ston@, and this traveler, a correspondent of the Egyptian Gazette, was informed, on what he could not but regard as trustworthy authority, that this wanton act bad been committed by order of the Khedive, the stone being required for the building of the new mosque, which so greatly overshadows the beautiful mosque of Sultan Hassan. When the Government itself sets an example of this kind we are not surprised that itis promptly followed by meaner folk. At Dashoor, a place seldom visi'ed by tourists, and where,consequently,the marauder thought himself safe, three camels were, during our stay, being loaded with the square white lime- stones of the casing of the larger pyramid. Few of these stones remain. The upper part of the pyramid has long been stripped. The adjoining pyramid, which isso conspicuous from Helouan, and so remarkable, from being buiitin two different slopes, had, till lately, its casing nearly complete. This casing is of the greatest importance, and, I regret tosay, there can be no doubt that here also the destroyer has recently been busy. Stones loosened from the topof the building have been rolled down the side, tearing and smash- ing the smooth surface. Three or four large stones have also been removed from below the entrance, which is now inaccessible without a ladder. It is in little-known places like Dashoor that such destruction is most easy to perpetrate and most difficult to prevent. But there cannot be much difficulty in watching the Great Pyramid of Gheezeh. A Very Young Couple. {From the New York Herald.] A few days ago it came to the ears of a very respectable couple living in the neighborhood of East Fiftieth street that their son, aged eighteen, had been clancestinely married toa girl who had barely turned her fifteenth year, and that the ceremony had been performed by a Jewish minister in the neighborhood, who, having made no inquiries as to their ages, made them man and wife for $5. The news was a great shock to the boy’s parents, who dote on their fair-haired boy in spite of his bcing, as bis father putit, ‘‘a bit too fond of the girls;’’ and though they are for the mcment ata loss what to make of the case, they are determined to have it thoroughly sifted, and, if the marriage has — taken place, to leave nothing undone to legally pun- ish the minister. lt adds considerably to their grief thatthe young girl was quitea giddy thing for her years, and that she and ber parents, as they claim, were far from beirg desirable acquaintances. ‘‘I would sooner see my son dead before me,’’ said the mother, with much earnestness, **than know he married sucha horrid little girl.’’ The yourg ladyin question, though only fifteen vears of age, and looking even younger, seems to have seen a little of life already and to have got little benefit from her experience. It is, perhaps, well for all concerned that last week sbe left with ber parents for California, which fact adds considerably tothe strangeness of the reported marriage. A Great Tenor Poltsoned. [From a Rome Letter. | The sudden death of Fra Giovann! del Papa two weeks ago was a severe shock not only to all lovers of music here, but was a matter of regret throughout all Europe. Giovanni, though an humble Franciscan friar, was pron ably the most perfect tenor that ever lived. Whenever be sang in the Sistine Chapel there was acrowd of worshippers, and his rich tones never failed to create a sensation—a re- ligious sensation, which made the listener doubt that the voige echoing through the vaults of the chapel was merely the voice ofa man. And Giovanni’s nature was as sweet as was his voice. He was sought by princes temporal and spiritual, but he was at all times tbe humble friar. But his humility aid not proiect him from tbe petty jealousy of bis brethren, who could not forgive him the attention that he received. It was generally known tbat his life was an uncomfortable one, though he himself made no complaints. Gio- vabni died after a very few days of sickness, and his disease was pronounced gastric fever. But the peculiarity of the symptoms suggest- ed foul play. Accordingly the ay Was ex- humed, and an examination revealed arsenic in the stomach in large quantities. _ A friar has been arrested by the authorities, and the evidence against bim is said to be very strong. But until further steps are taken the details are witbbeld from the public, which, mean- time, isin a state of excited indignation. Peaches in Connecticut. {From the New Haven Palladium, May l1.] Connecticut bas pot for many years been classed among the peach-raising States, but there seems to be no good reason why she should not be. It has been pretty satisfac- torily proved that the blight which has for so long resisted all efforts to cultivate the fruit in Connecticut has, either through climatic change or from some other cause, passed away. A number of our enterprising farm- | ers in various sections of the State have suc- cessfully experimented during the past three or four years in peach cultivation, and al- though the experiments have been upon a small scale, they may be considered to have demonstrated that this branch of fruit-raising may egain be made profitable in Connecticut. The peach raised in our State is as large in size as, and, if anything. superior in flavor to that raised in any other State, and comes into market at a time when the fruit is most gen- erally in demand, being at its maturity just at the time the New Jersey peach disappears, and two weeks in advance of the Massachu- setts peach. It was successfully raised in the State forty years ago, and the experiments re- centiy made leave little doubt that it may be as successfully raised now. The Latest English Dance-Step. 1From the London Truth, April 15.) ‘*] bave witnessed,’’ writes a correspond- ent, ‘many a strange dance, from the Nauich to the Cancan, and my experience of casinos ranges from the Argylitothe Mabille, but I bave never before seen so grossly indecenta step as that favored in the neighborhood of Portsmouth and Hyde, and popularly known as the ‘Southsea Cuddle.’ ”” Andhere is an- other letter about the Southsea ladies, whose pretty and innocent ways seem to be akin to those of the ladies who inbabit the South Sea Islands: “Southsea is, LI believe, popularly supposed to be celebrated for for the beauty As a matter of fact, they wever, beh wy hi few excep > na | in as , ne thatthe. freedom of their for these slight whose arms Taa- | } than with her palette. OUID A SKETCHED. ‘The Celebrated Novelist—Ser Scandals, Her Horses and Her Dogs. - ’ {from the Boston Herald. The present century is credited with hav- ing produced two writers of unfathomable de- ‘ and sentiments—Byron and Benjamin Disraeli. To this brief category ought to be added the name of Miss Louisa de la Rame, better known as ‘‘Ouida.” She is a highly extraordmary personage, as her writings yliny indicate, and the obscurity which aloes her existence, added to the viadietive feelings to which her social thunderbolts from — to time give fe has —— the — of mu ossip: de ‘her’ reputation. In her ks prudeés find Withs! to ‘cavil at, while society beiles tremble for fear of being transfixed by more of her well-aimed’ : but the younger andless sophistical of Oudta’s readers love her forher earnest ana forcible appeals in behalf of dogs and others of the dumb race. Of OQuida’s early life very little is known. Her mother either died or was separated from her father when she was quite an infant; but,as Mr. dela Rame was un- fi rtunately a man of abandoned habits, al- though possessed of a splendid education and fine wir Hone eer it is to be premised that it was not death that deprived the great novel- ist of a mother’scare. Be this as it may, the father devoted his otherwise wasted talents to one sole object—the - EDUCATION OF HIS LITTLE GIRL— with so great success that, so it is said, at the age of four years, she wrote a child’s story in printed capjtals. She accompanied her father in all his many and promiscuous wanderings in foreign countries; and to this fact are at- tributed the scenes of absinthe drinking, of gay abd w revelry, which are from time to time cropping up in the works ofthe versa- tile and Uiant writer. Ourda’s decisive temperament is almost as great as the ob- security of her origin. Itis to this character- istics he is indebted for her nom de plume. Her father, -although a naturatzed Enylishman, was of French origin, and French was in con- sequence the your g lady’s vernacular. T'o any question which necessitated an eftirmative reply Mile. de 1a Rame;,could never content herself with a simple ‘‘oui;’’ it was invariably **oui-cda,’’ **most certainiy.’? By her father and his companions was she ever known as Ouida, and, on entering the field of literature, she took the endearing epithet asthe coyno- men under which to iaunch out the produce- tions of herclever pen. Ouida, she says, is her pet name, and the werld has no right to any other. Not a few of Ouida’sa many calum- niatc rs have asserted that she has changed her maiden name tothatof Mrs. Somebody-else, butthat ber husband has been compelled to separate himself and property from her, on tbe ground of her singular temperament and strange mode of life. Even worse things than this have been alleged, but never were SCANDALS MORE UNTRUE. A Florentine marquis of vouth and property ome Woved and almost won the celebrated writer; but Ouida happily discovered in time her suitor’s fascina ion for the wife of an- otber, broke off the engagement, and, by doing so, probably saved her unsullied name from being involved in asad scandal. This narrow escape gave Ouida two characters be- fore unknown to her, atleast practically. Sbe has impaled both male and female of- fender in one of ber novels in so unmistakable amanneras to necessitate them to abstain fromthe gay world they love so well, and to purge their offences Oy. living a secluded life intbesuburbs cfthe Tuscan capital. Ouida’s abode is also in the outskirts of Florence. Her Villa stands upon a green eminence, surround- ed by corn fields and meadows, vineyards, hills and streams, some three miles from the city. The interior of her residenceis gxtly adorned with flowers and curiosities from all parts of the civilized world, as well as by aintings, manyof which are from her own rush. But as an artist Ouida will never be known, although she is proud of her ‘produc- tions. She shines far better with her pen She works out-doors in summer, in-doois in winter. A grey- hound, her favorite dog, is always her com- panion. HER DOGS AND HER HORSES appear to be the only living things with which she is not at variance in some way or another. She writes rapidly and never erases or adds a word until her copy isintype. S2e pursues her indevendent course of life after her own ideas of pleasure and comfort, regardless of any one, and, in many ways, in open defiance of the Jaws of propriety and of the established rules of social life, at least of those recognized by less gifted women. Besides her dumb pets, of which she so dearly loves to plead the cause with her pen, her only attendants are an old woman-of-all-work and a man to whose care, under her ewn supervision, she entrusts her horses. Ouida is eccentric, perhaps un- duly severe inher criticisms of ‘*‘society,’’ but the more serious charges which have been laid at her door cannot be supported. The attempts made to compare her earlier life with that of George Sand are unpardonable. Like those of George Sand, her productions surprise many and shock nota few, but this fact is due to her being an Englishwoman. Were she French the case would be different. She has deelared war against what is bad in society andshe bravely keeps up the fight. The scenes she witnessed in her early days have taken deep root in her recollection. She knows better than perhaps any woman wt what is becoming and what is otherwise, an is not ofraid to condemn and ridicule the one and,to extol the other. A SHUDDER OF HORROR goes through the many questionably gay ones of Florence when itis known that Ouida is about to add another to her list of publica- tions. Every prominent belle, stricken by conscience, dreads jest sne be impaled in the work that is going forth to satisfy the man expectant ones in many lands. On suc Ouida’s works have a wholesome effect; and the day must come when the authoress of ‘*Ariaane’”’ will have her name on the list of great social reformers and at no great distance below that of the inimitable author of *‘Mar- tin Chuzzlewit.” Miss Louisa de la Rime bas, unhappily, passed the meridian of life. She is far from handsome, dresses plainly and is getting stout. According to Florentine fashion, she receives her guests once a week— on Mondays. ‘Toward them she exhibits the same Jack of courtesy and sympathy as Ouida exhibits in her novels. She is a listener rath- er than a conversationalist, and religiously re- frains from discussing, or even referring to, her books to persons of herown sex. Inde- pendently of ber sometimes aggressive pen, there is much fin Ouida’s bearing toward her acquaintances little calculated to make her PS ular in society. She evidently is a firm eliever in her own published words: ‘**The only motive power, and the sole keynote of all oy is severity in some form or ano- ther. Mrs. Siddons’ Relative. { Louisville Cor. Cincinnati Commercial. | There 1s scarcely a word of truth in the dis- patch of your issue of to-day from Louisville, concerning a ‘‘thrilling scene’’ at the reading given by Mrs. Siddons Wednesday night. The young lady spoken of did not attack Mrs. Sid- dons. There was no scene or any disturbance in the presence of the audience. Not a per- son in the audience was aware of any unusual occurrence on the stage. The young lady, in a fitof hysteria, showed her devotion to her cousin, Mrs. Siddons, in &@ Manner that was calculated to upset the senses of an ordinary woman, but Mrs. Siddons does not belong to that class. Miss Siddons, a mere zirl, is the cousin and traveling companion of Mrs. Scott- Siddons. On their way to Louisville the girl was left by the train at a way i station. Her behavior on this aD on former occasions annoyed Mrs. S., and when she arrived by a later train the girl, in an agony ofeelf-reproach, came to the entrance of the hall and sent word to her cousin that she wanted to see her and be for- given.

Claude Melnotte in Real Life. [Mrs. Hooper in the Philadelphia Telegraph. } 1 was recently told by a young French gep. tle man (the son of the Prefect of La Rocheile) one of the strangest romances of real life tha: ever came to my knowledge. Some four years ago a peasant boy who lived on a farm bear the town of Clermont-Ferrand saw and fel! in love with the daughter of s gentteman of good for. tunea.d position, he being st that time Beventeen years of age and the young lady just sixteen. This new Claude. Melnotte was so madly in love that he went straight to the house of the young girl's arents and demanded her hand in Marriage, ‘be father treated the preposterous proposi- tion with good-natured scorn. ‘*Come Dac when you have sen tncome of $0,000 (2n,. 000 francs),’’ was his answer, ‘‘and then we wili see about it.’’ The: infatuated youth took him at his word, and forthwith set w rk. Now one of the peculiarities of the town of Clermont-Ferrand is a scarcity of water, There is no river near it, so it relies upon its water supply on springs and wells. Under these circumstances, a spring is a valuable pee of property, and commands a relatively igh price. So the young peasant lover set otf for an adjacent mountain, there to search for hiddea springs. My informant said that he had boneycombed the whole side of the mountain with his works, constructing at one point a tunnel over two miles in lengtn. All this was executed with his own hands. He works from dawn to dark, lives upon tatoes of his own planting, ang pever spends sO much as a s0u upon a mug of beer. Every Sunday he goes tw mass in the town, after which he proczeds to the house of his lady-love, to ask if sbe is married or like- ly to be. On receiving a response in the nega- tive he glods contentediy homeward, and starts afresh to his toil on the morrow. Thi; life bas continued now for full thrze years. Up tothe present time he bas discovered thre: important springs, each of which he has sold for $5,000, but,though now pos-essed of what for a man in his condition of life is wealth, he abates none of the hardships of h 3 existence. _ He has one fixed idea, namely, to become the possessor of a fortune sutlicient to enable bim to claimthe hand of the object of his blind passion. Yetno one who knows the partics even imagines that the young lady will ever consent to marry him. She is now twenty years of age, and is pretty, refined and accomplished, while be is @ coarse, unlettered peasant, Without even physical coméliness, as be is short and thick-set, with a broad, stolid countenance. Whatwill bethe end of bis dream, I wonder? My informant told me that the story wastrue in every particular; he had himself visited the works, and entered the curious tunnel, and been presented to this new Jacob, willing to serve even more than seven years for his Rachel. The Last Colorado Lynching. | Fairplay Cor. Chicage Tribune. | About one yearsince aterrible crime was committed in the viliage of Fairplay, lark county, Col., by J. J. Hoover, and at the time occasioned much excitement among the citizens. Threats were made of lynching the offender, but the plan was frustrated by the manner, wis muca by his associates, of there were a Lost, Hoover, being one of the frequenteis of Ben- nett’s saloon, often accepting of his hospitali- ty. The trouble which bas ended the lives of two persons originated over the right to use a ditch, and inthe dispute Hoover became 80 exasperated that he madean assault upou Bennett, kiiling him instantly. The murder being almost wholly unprovoked, the spirit of we feeling ran high against Hoover,and, had he not been removed to Denver, tbe angry and infuriated people of Fairplay would have strung bim up on the spot. Hoover has remained in the jail at Denver ever sinvee April, 1879, till last Sunday, whea be was broughtto Fairplay fur trial—his case comipg before the Court on Monday and Tues- day—uod it was generally supposed that tiie culprit would receive a life sentence or ve hung, which would have satisfied the citizens and avenged a horrible crime. But the de- librrations of ajury of ‘‘twelve just and true men’’ decided differently, and brought in » verdict of eight years” mprisonment. The people of Fairplay, with whom tne exci'e- ment had not subsided, notwithstanding the time that bad elapsed since the murder, were roused [nto indignation at this light seatence. Public feeling ran , and, from the earnest conversation among the groups gathered here and there along the streets,it was evident that something was on foot among the townsmer. About 5 o’clock this morning a little band «f masked men, wellarmed, proceeded to th: place of the confinement of Hoover,and, over- powering the keeper, took the law into their own bands, and summarily ended the ma.ucer by taking the prisoner frem the jail and hang- ing him ona tree, as isusual on such oc- casions. Pubile sentiment hereis, toat the lynebing was deserved. It is another solcm. warning to murderers. How an Arab Lady Perfumes Herself. (Sir William Baker.) In the floor of the tent or hut, as it mov chance to be, a small hole is excavated sutti- ciently large to contain a common champagne bottle; 4 fire of charcoal or of simply glow- ing embers is made within the hole, iate which the woman about to be scented throws a bandful of drugs.

The Vice-President of the Laclede Gas Company Wants an Injunction To Restrain the House of Delegates From Pntting Him in Jail. - — Interesting Proceedings Before Judge Adams This Morning. The trouble between the Heuse of Delegates ard Mr: Jobn McGovera,vice-president of the Laclede Gaslight Company, took a new shape this morning. . On the 6th of April the House passed a preamble and resofutions calling on Mr. “McGovern to produce all books and papers in his possession } efore the committee appointed to investigate the whole of the gas litigation. The order upplied to all entries and records of the Laclede (iss Company made between January, 1870, »ud April 19, 1880. Mr. McGovern refused to cbey the Mandate of the House of Delegates and he was arrested for contempt by the Ser- geant-at-arms. Last Friday night he was be- fore the bar of the House for contempt, but was allowed a week to decide on what course be would take—that is, whether he would produce the books and records or not. It ap- pears that he is disposed not to do so, for on vesterday he through his attorneys notified ibe Mayor that he would to-day apply to.the Circuit Court foran ivjunction restraining the House of Delegates from puttiag him in prison for contempt. According to this noti- fication application was made to Judge Adams this morning for the injunction... Mr. Charles Gibson and A. W. Slayback appeared for McGovern, Mr. Leverett Bell forjthe city and Mr. Geo. P. Strong for the House of Dele- gates. Or rather for the Gas Investigating Committee of that body. The petition was quite Jong and was read to the Court by Col. Siayback. It firstrefers to the powers of the House of Delegates in summoning and ex- amining Witnesses and then recites, in full, the order on McGovern passed by the House on April G. The statement is also made that the city entered suit against the Laclede Gaslight Company in 1875, that it was dismissed in 1877 and that there are now no Jegal proceedings going on betweea tneparties. The GROUNDS UPON WHICH THE ASKED are stated as follows: Your petitioner further represents that it is his oficial duty to preserve and hold all the property, and especially the books and pa- pers of the Laclede Gas light Company; that said company derives all its powers from special acts of the Legislature of Missouri and notfrom the city uf St. Louis; that it has no relations of any kind with said city, except those growing out of a contract be- tween itand the city and the St. Leuis Gas- light Company made on the 17th day of Feb- INJUNCTIGN IS ruary, 18738; that the city has not and is not ' any breach of | that | now complaining of said contract by said Laclede Company; aaid company has faithfully and fally iM letter and in spirit perform- ed all its obligations under said contract tothe city andall its citizens; that any possible controversy that might arise be- tween itand the city in relation to said tri- partite agreement,or any other maiter, must be purely judicial,and subject to be heard and determined in the ordinary courts of justice. ‘Yhat said ordinance No. 11,300, the appoint- ment of said committee and tre acts of said committee ofsaid Heuse of Delegates herein set fourth ave repugnant to the constitutions of the State and of the United States as well us the laws of the State; that the same are utter- ly void in law, but that said defendants are proceeding under the color of the said ordin- ances Of said city to deprive your petitioner of his liberty and property, and will doso un- less réstruined or prevenicd by this Court. That intbe yeosr 1876, in the case then pend- ing between the city and the gas companies, the extent of the authority ofthe city to ex- amine into the books, records and papers of the Lo«lede Guslight Company was the subje::t of judicial determination in this honorable court, and to the extent allowed by this court the city did examine tee said books, papers and records of the Laclede Gaslight Company, and some time last December (1LS7!))the House ‘of © Delexates appointed a comumit- tee to examine among other ihings the said books, records and papers, and vour petitioner, as a matter of courtesy, allowed said committee to ex- umine the books, papers and records of said company upon condition that they should not be subject to the intermeddling or inspection oione Robert A.

That when served with the aforesaid subpoena duces tecum, your petétioner appeared before the committe Jast appofated, and offered to lestify as to any fact in relation to the matters under investigation by said committee, and to “ive certified copies of any entry im said books or records relating to the matters under their said investigation, whieh offer the said com- mittee declined and insisted upon the unqual- ified and absolute produetion and delivery up tO said committee of all the _ books, papers and reeords of the said Laclede Gaslight Company from 1870 to April 1), ISSO, at the same time reading said ordi- nance No. 11,300 to him, and threatening him With its pains and penalties therein prescrib- ed if be @id not comptiv with the aforesaid demand; and upon your petitioner’s refusal to comply with said demand he was_ by said committee reported to said House ef Dele- cates for contempt, and under the direction of ‘aid House, and a warrant issued by its Speaker, Was arrested by defendant Michaei Chartrand, then Sergeant-at-Arms thereof, and carried as a prisoner under such arrest befere the said House, and remains still ' : UNDER ARREST, Subject to the action and orders of said House of Delegates; and your petitioner further shows that if said House shalt, as he believes and . churges it will, adjudge him guilty of con- tempt, it will forthwith carry its judgment intoexeeution by inearcerating him inthe common jailof said city, and that by reason ofthe premises your petitioner is deprived of personal liberty, and will be, Without due process of law, and Wholly without" any adequate or complete remedy atlaw, injured irreparably li his person and estate and in his legal lights as acitizen of the State of Missouri “nd as a citizen of the United States, and in ‘iolation of every principle of constitutional liberty, unless he can obtain relief in this honorable court.

Church assembled this morning in St. Pa@l’s Chapel, on Eleventh street néar Christy avenue, Bishop A. W. Wayman in the chair and near- ly four hundred in attendance. Rev. J. W. Early, of Tennessee, was called on to con- duct the religious exercises. ‘‘As Ja- cob Did in Days of Old” was sung, and then prayer was offered. At the request of the chairman, the clerk cailed the roll of the delegates, nearly all of whom were present. _After the chairman had announced that until the close of the sessions the Bishops would alternate with each other in conducting the religious exercises, the minutes of the ga of yesterday were read and ap- proved. A discussion arose as to whether the num- ber of assistants allowed the secretary had been limited to two or not. The question was decided in the affirmative. A delegate charged the secretary with beiag too voluminous. On being asked by the chair- man to explain the meaning of the final word of bis declaration he sat down amid laughter. The Rev. M. M. Mantz, of South Carolina, was elected third assistant secretary after a bard opposition by the friends of Rev. J. M. Townsend, of Indiana. The confusion that was incidental to the choosing of these officers provoked from the chairman the remark that the conference ‘acted like a- parcel of old women. The ap- plause that insued was tremendous. ‘*‘ Chat’s so, Bishop,’’ exclaimed a venerable D. D. A resolution was offered by Rev. G. H. Shaffer, of Tennessee, instructing the chair- man to order the delegatesfrom the several annual conferencesto sit together. A mo- tion was made and seconded te lay the resolution on the table. A viva voce vote left the question undecided, and a division was called for. The yeas and nays were taken and the motion defeated. The chairman then assigned the several dele- vations to proper places inthe rooms, meet- ing with considerable opposition from many delegates, all wanting to obtain the foremost seuts. At times the utmost con- fusion prevailed, and the Babel of voices was such that the chairman was un- able to distinguish any one expression. The gavel was often brought into use. Just as the regular business was about to be continued, a very large layman arose and addressed the Chair. “Sit down! sit down, brother! You’re too big a manto act like achild. Let us have order,’”? exclaimed Bishop Wayman. The delegate sat down. On motion a Committe on Episcopacy were chosen, nearly every State being represented on the comnnittee. A Committee on Delegations was also se- Iccted. Standing committees were then chosen, The chairman, on the motion of Rev. John Turner, of St. Louis, appointed as marshals H. Hi. Thompson, F. B. Caldwell,F. E. Green, and H. D. Edwards, each of whom located himselfina prominent positionin order to preserve the order which at times had been wanting. Bishop Early then delivered an interesting discourse on religious training, recommend- ing that parochial schools be established in every parish in order that students be pre- pared for admission to Wilberforce Universi- ty, and at its conclusion a recess was taken.

A number of wit- nesses were examaned. A verdict of accidental death was rendered. Boston Art Fwraiture in 8t.. Leuis. Read Guernsey, Jones & Co.’s advertisement on first page.

Pope’s Theater. ‘¢‘Oaken Hearts’? was performed last night at thistheater with a strengthened cast and still more elaborate scenery than was seen Jast week. Mr. Fred. B. Warde, a sterling artist, made his first appearance as Mark Dawson. His rendition was both forcible and effective, and the actor won well-deserved applause. Miss Dickie Lingard played the part of Hetty very cleverly. The rest of the company were well up in their respective roles, and the piece went very smoothly. The scen- ery is extremely fine and realistic. “Osken Hearts” isannounced for the balance of the week and atthe Wednesday and Saturday matinees, at reduced prices.

This morning James Brady, an Jrishnian fifty years of age, was discovered in a starving condition locked up in one of the freight cars on the Iron Mountain Railroad. The car was loaded with lumber at Malvern, Arkansas, having been four days ontheroad. The man concealed himself in the car at the latter place for the purpose of stealing a ride, and has been Jocked upinthe car for the past four days without water or anything to eat.

Mollie Beggs is the proprietor of a low dive on Almond street,yet she pretends to be quite select and particular as to the character and | pedigree of those who are entertained at her } abode. Last night Chas. Hart, a deck hand, strolled up that street and, seeing the door beading to Mollie’s apartmente open,he walked in. The hostess,seeiog that her visitor did not belong tothe F. F. V.’s and also coneluding that he was nota bloated vendhbolder, ordered hisn from the premises.

M. Bennett, editor of the Truth- Seeker, who was yesterday released from prison, having been sent there fora year for be ag ae **Cupid’s Yokes,” an obscene ook by one Haywood. Great preparations bad been made, and the hail was packed by such an audience as is not often seen. Resolu- tions were passed prociaiming Ben- nett a patriot, reviling Anthony Comstock, the Judge wbo sentenced Bennett, anll the President for not pardoning him; caoarging that the movement was all one with that to put God into the Constitution, to crush free speech, and establish a State or National ehurcbh, and containing a ma-~s more of rub- bish. Speeches were made by Havwood, Ben- nett, and a number of others. Haywood ia- dulged in obscenity and made the dirtiest speech ever endured by a New York audience with ladies init. His filth drew forth loud applause, showing well the character of him- self and audienve. Altogether it was a most Gisgraceful and revolting exhibition of the tendencies and views of the Liberal League. Bennett bimself was content wita boasting of his infidelity. Arctic Fruit. |Brentano’s Moutlly. | ~The suecessful expedition of Professor Nordenskjold has proved that theshores of the Arctic Sea are not so inhespitable as has been generally supposed. Perhaps the most interesting of the minor discoveries made bv the learned explorer is the findiag of a new remedty against that dread ofall navigators, and the particularscourge of Arcticex peditions _—Damely, scurvy. It appears that there was nota single case of this disease during the whole voyage, and this remarkable fact is due not to the employment of lime-juice and other anti-sco: buties in ordinary use, but to the use of a curious littl berry, hitherto unrecogaiz- ed, produced by a plant which finds an ephe- meral existance in the snow and ice during the short Arctic summer. The berries are found in great abundance, and are said to be a favorite fruit wita some ofthe natives of the great ice world. Its flavor resembies that of | the raspberry, but it is more acid. The mode of preparation adopted on the voyage of the Vega was to dry the berries, and then to pre- serve them in the milk of the reindeer, which was then allowed to freeze. In this state the fruit can be preserved for an _ indefinite period. A COTTON WOOD.tree believed to be over 150 years old was recently cut down in froat of one of the hotels in Denver, Col. Under this tree was held thetrial of Moses Young, a German, who committed the first murder in Denver. The jury convicted him, and he was taken to the cabin of the Sheriff. At daybreak a posse of men took Young from the cabin and hanged bim to a branch of the cottonwood tree. The lynching was witnessed by a large number of Indians, who had climbed to the branches of neighboring trees. In the same year Jim Gor- don was tried for murder under the huge cot- tonwood, and was hanged to. the same branca from which Young was suspended. It is be- lieved that there were other trials and hang- ings in its shade. The tree was inthe early days of Denver the largest of a cluster of cot- tenwoods standing where the city is now thickly buijt up. A section of the trunk is to be sent to this city to be manufactured into toothpicks. Berry SCOGGINS bad committed a murder at Thomasville, Ga., and was a fugitive in the mountains. At every meal time he boldly en- tered somebody’s house, demanded a place at the table with the family, and ate with a cock- ed gun lying across bis lap. A Sheriff anda large purty at length went out to hunt him down. He took a position at the top of a hill, end fired onthem; but he had only a shot- gur. and they could keep out of his range, while still witnin rifle distance. Their best marksman was deputed to shoot him, and four bullets were lodged 1n nim, causing death. A YANKEE came running down to a pier just asa steamer was starting. The boat moved off some four or five yards as he took a jump. and eoming down on the back of hig bead on deck. he lay stunned for two or three minutes. Whenhe ¢sme te, the boat had gone the best partof a quarter of a mile, and, raising bis head and looking to the snore, the Yankee said: “Great Jehosaphat! What a jump.’?

They seem to be in need of perennial martial law up there. — — — —-——— EUGENE Hack, the Liliputian statesman, bas arrived in Chicago, and will proceed to take charge of the Blaine forces in the great struggle for the political possession of the State, Mr. Blaine might have hired Bill Chandler for less money. Tne Chicago Convention will meet on Wednesday, the second of next month. In less than a monthfrom this day Grant, we hope, will be already nominated. There are only twenty-six working days left to the third-term strikers, and they must be- stir themselves. TuHERE is no likelihood that Mr. Hen- derson will be nominated for President by the anti-third term people who are to meet in this city on Thursday. The object of this important gathering is not to nominate a President, but to simply shake an awful warning finger at the Chicago Convention. We do something in the way of beer in St. Louis. * During the year just closed our ‘breweries turned out 658,087 barrels of the foaming beverage—an increase of 120,845 barrels over the previous year. A barrel of beer, it should be borne in mind, con- tains four kegs. It should also be borne in mind that we don’t drink all this beer in St. Louis. Tur Democrats of Ohio meetin conven- tionon Thursday. Tilden’s friends have ‘made some efforts to secure the delegates to the Cincinnati Convention, but Mr. Thurman’s fences are in excellent repair, and he will carry the convention with force, but serenely. Four years ago the vote of the State was cast at St. Louis for the ven- erable William Allen. dite ~~ we At Belleville, Lllinois, yesterday, the Republicans selected twenty-five delegates to the county convention. Their Presi- dential preferences are set down as fol- lows: Washburne, 19; Grant, 4, and Blaine, 2. Belleville is largely made up of Germans, Itlooks very much as though the story of Grant’s military prowess and his sacrifice in behalf of the country had not reached this remote settlement. A pispatcu from] Chicago credits Blaine with having captured 95 of the 134 dele- gates already chosen to the Springfield Convention. There is still time for Logan to turn the tide, but he will have to stir his stumps. If Illinois should fail to respond to the plaintive appeals of the third-term tramps the Grant boom would collapse in the most ridiculous and absurd manner. It would be like pricking a bladder full of wind with a marlinspike. = ee , ) It is given out that the Massachusetts $27 delegates to the Anti-Third Term Conven- tion in this city are instructed to declare their fixed and unalterable opposition to both Grant and Blaine. As Mr. Hender- son’s convention Is simply called to Ye- priety, it seemsto us, in making war on Blaine. He has not even offended the good sense of the country by capturing one term of the Presidency. Hon. GopLove S. Ortu, the Indiana statesman, is consuming the time of the House to-day with an attempted explana- tion of his corrupt connection with the Venezuelan claims scandal of ten years ago. Mr. Orth has trusted to the healing embrocations of time before essaying to vindicate bimself. Rather than explain his questionable transactions he quietly re- signed fromthe head of the Republican ticket in Indiana four years ago. He couldn’t be forced to make an explanation at that period. Perhaps he has secured some fresh affidavits. - THE old swindle of a postal telegraph has lifted up its head in the House in the shape of a billfrom Mr. Ellis to authorize the Postmaster-General to establish an experi- mental line between Boston and Washing- ton at a cost of $300,000. The idea seems to be that the Government hasn’t enough todo and hasn’t power and patronage enough at its disposal. Some believer in the paternal system should improve on Mr. Ellis and introduce a bill at once au- thorizing the Secretary of War to go into the general express business on behalf of the Government. A CHICAGO paper publishes two columns and a half of conversational twaddle with Grant concerning Mexico, its people, its commerce and its industries. The object is to show the country the minuteness of the great traveler’s observations and the ex- pansiveness of his intellect. On this ground Eli Perkins would make equally as good a candidate for President. He wanders about with great ability, and picks up merchant- able information as the peripatetic snow- ball gathers bulk. Mr. Perkins bas the imagination necessary to the embellish- . ment of facts, while Grant seems to be to- tally deficient in the art. oan Guns - ———— THE startling information comes from Chicago that Elihu B. Washburne, the sworn and trusted friend of Grant, is really a Judas, and that he is being used by Me- dill and the Tribune people to aid Blaine in his efforts to capture Illinois. Simultanec- ously we have the authority of the Jnter- Ocean for the statement that Washburne goes with Grant to Springfield to-day, and that he will embrace every opportunity pre- sented en route to urge his advancement to a third term.’’ It is feared that some of the talented people connected with the Blaine Literary Bureau have captured the wire which connects with the first page of the Grant clothes-wringer in this city. THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION. There are several important things that are practically settled and well worth con- sidering. First—The two-thirds rule will be un- questionably retained at Cincinnati. Every single Democratic State Convention, in- cluding New York and Pennsylvania, has declared for it. Democratic sentiment seems to be all one way. Second—Not a solitary State has so far declared in favor of Mr. Tilden’s nomina- tion—not even his own New York Conven- tion. | Third—While the delegations so far elect- ed are uninstructed, Mr. Tilden has many warm friends among them—has, beyond doubt, the majority of the New York and the minority of the Pennsylvania delega- tion. Fourth—Mr. Tilden positively wants the nomination and is actively and aggressively organizing his forces all over the country. The repeated statement that he only wants to dictate the nomination of some friend of his is a mere blind and utter bosh. Mr. Tilden expects to get the nomination himself. Fifth—There is now no doubt whatever that Senator Thurman will be a candidate. He is already sure of the large vote of the Ohio delegation, and as Ohio is the only October State he might become a formidable candi- date if it were felt at Cincinnati that he could carry his State in October. Sixth—Indiana will present the name of Mr. Hendricks. ; Seventh—Delaware, supported by New England and New Jersey, will present the great name of Bayard. Eighth—Vermont, Texas and Louisiana will present General Hancock’s name,as the conventions in these States have declared for him. Ninth—Illinois will probably present the name of Morrison. The prospect is that there will be lively balloting at Cincinnati between Tilden, Hancock, Bayard, Thurman, Hendricks and Morrison and some dark horse to be sprung after several ineffectual ballots. Seymour’s name will readily occur in this connection. While it is not probable that Mr. Tilden can ever get a two-thirds majority at Cin- cinnati against the opposition of the whole South, of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and the hopeless division in his own State— while his nomination would be clearly an act of suicide, like the action of the Char- | affirm and endorse the traditions of the Re- | ] public, there would be a manifest impro- ) the Pacific Railroad. | leston Convention in 1860, or the’ Greeley abortion in 1872—it would be idle to con- ceal the great danger of Mr. Tilden’s can- didacy to Democratic prospects. Nothing cm be plainer than that Tilden means di- vision and defeat. Tilden means Grant. HavinG placed Denis Kearney under the hatches, so to speak, the respectable ele- ments of San Francisco are going to work to rid themselves of Mayor Kalloch. At the meeting of the Board of City Supervis- ors last evening—the counterpart of our Municipal Assembly—a committee which had been authorized to investigate Kalloch’s record as an agitator reported that they found him guilty of the repeated use of in- eendiary language; that he had encouraged lawlessness on the part of discontented laborers and had accused various branches } of the city government of corruption. The committee recommended a judicial inquiry into his acts, with a view to his impeach- ment and deposition from office. Kalloch, as the presiding officer of the Board, had the extreme pleasure of putting the motion and declaring it carried. Immediate action will be taken, and itis to be earnestly hoped that the enterprise will succeed. The re- action against Kearneyism and Kallochism is very great now in San Francisco, and if the Mayor is swept out of office, and his son into the State prison for life, it will be very strange. POLICEMAN MERCIER finds himself in the unpleasant predicament incident to a charge of manslaughter to-day, but public senti- men stands prepared to acquit him on a presentation of facts. Last night, while attempting to inquire into the movements of Jack Carr, a notorious North St. Louis character, he was set upon by that worthy and severely beaten. He was forced to use a pistol in self-defense and the probabili- ties are that the community has been bereft of both the pi&sence and the valuable ex- ample of Mr. Carr. The policeman deserves a medal and promotion. AN impostor who represents himself to be the Nihilist Hartman, has enjoyed an inter- view at the hands of a New York World re- porter. The Marwood who has also received much attention from the metropolitan press representatives turns out to be only a nephew and one-horse assistant of the English executioner. The New York press is dis- couraging our native frauds by: the prompt- ness with which it rallies around every for- eign adventurer who happens to set his foot ixside the corporate limits. Let us stand by Daniel Pratt, Eli Perkins, Weston and Wen- dell Phillips, gentlemen. A REFORMED drunkard named Bert, who bas been delivering temperance lectures in lowa and Illinois, attempted suicide at Rock Island yesterday. He had been crossed in love. This drove him to whisky, and from whisky he naturally glided to laudanum,. It is lové that causes all the trouble in the world. Whisky and laudanum are but the agents through which love does its fell work. Socie- ties for the Suppression of Love should be started in everv town in the country. THERE is something highiy absurd about the decree of the managers of the Le Moyne crematory that no suicide shall be roasted in their machine. The Le Moyne furnace is a pagan institution and suicide 1s one of the most majestic of the pagan rites. They should offer a premium on self-destruction. NOBODY has undeftakeu yet to show what Mr. Tilden eats for dinner. The only way we can judge out West of a man’s health is to know what he eats. Never mind the paralyzed arm and the drooping eye. Give us the weight of one of Mr. ‘rilden’s meals. -_— ee -_—— —-—_ Cw SHERMAN bas written an open letter to Sen- ator Bayard, in which he hasa great deal to say about finances, but he neglects to append a postscript to the effect that he is still willing to be supported at the public expense in the capacity of President. TOM SCOTT has resigned, Vanderbilt has gone to Europe and Jay Gouldis threatened with locomoter ataxia. There is a chance, it would seem, for some enterprising conductor to spring to the frontand declare himself Rail- way hing. _— — PERSONAL. —The wife of Senator Hamlin, of Maine, is thirty years younger than her husband. —The title which Prince Leopold is about to adoptisa reported to be the musical one of ‘*Duke of Albany.’’ —The widowed Madame Thiers has sent to Vice-President Wheeler a handsomely bound edition of her husbanda’s works, which is to be placed in the library of the Senate. —Miss Valleria, the soprano who sang here with the Mapleson troupe last winter, has re. turned to London, where her marriage with Mr. Rh.

Several public sales have been made already with good results, and a further test will be made to-morrow afternoon, ina sale at Maryville, on the West End Narrow Gauge Railroad. The property is said to be beautifully situ- ated, vantages in its surroundings, and more par- ticularly in its accessibility, being ap- proachable both by the raailroad and several fine avenues. There seems to be a sort of settled conviction in the minds of peo- ple that after all real estate is the safest in- vestwent cne can have, and that now is the opportune time to buy. Ifthe weather is fa- vorable, we predict that a large and spirited crowd will be in attendanee at the sale which ccmes cff at Maryville to-morrow afternoon. How ItIs Done. [From Yesterday's St. Louis Times. | A good many counties inthis State are antl- cipating the time suggested by the Executive Committee, holdi their local conventions and electing delegates to Moberly. It is worthy of remark that all of the conventions thus tar held have have chosen delegates favorable to the nomination ot Mr. Tilden. There probably has not been an exception ofa single county. The universality of the fact indicates that the movement is preconcerted and is a part of the policy of Mr. Tilden’s suppo.iters in the State. The piocess is simple enough and unfair enough. Thecontrolofthe county commit- tee is first secured. Then,the Tilden men bav- ing got their slate fixed, the committee calls primary meetings tor the selection of dele- gates to a county convention, and, the friends of the other candidates being taken by sur- prise, the friends ot Mr.Tilden have everything their own way, select their delegates to Mober- ly and achieve what they calla victory. They go on the principle that a victory is a victory, no matter how obtained, and that a dele- gate is a delegate, no matter how secured. This kindof management demon- strates certainly a sort of political ability, but not the sort that sbould meet with the recog- nition and approval ef Missouri Democrats. A desire tor the succes3 of the Democratic party should alone contro] the actions of Democrats atthis time. The triumphof any candidate by means not absolutely regular, open and fair is likely to bring fruit which, like that of the Dead Sea, will turn to ashes on the lips. Since the electionin New York last fallit is simply certain a great majority of the Demo- crats of Missouri have not favored Mr. Tilden’s nomipation. ‘ Mr. Hockaday Must Explain. {From the Boonviile Advertiser. | It is true that his triends reproduced his let- ter of 1876, denying the charges made by the Journal of St. Louis, but that is not the same thing as coming out and denying or giving the lie to charges of the gravest nature made by aman whois not a street loaferor u ruftian, thathis attacks may beignored on that ac- count. Itisto us a new thing, too, that aman would allow his character to suffer before the public because his ‘‘self-respect’’ was too great for him tocondescend todeny the charges or remove the stain that suchcharges and from such a souree, necessarily and naturally must putuponit. As to attempting to ‘*‘obscure the fair fame of Gen. Hockaday,’’ thatis all damphulism hatched out in the imag- ination and ulecerous brain ot the Progress wiseacre. Such bulidozing editorials won’t silence the Advertiser, and the Progress had better learn it, and if it is really a rriend of Gen. Hockaday’s silenceitself. Wesaid onlv what any journal has the right to and we asked only such questions as our readers would like to hear answered. By the way, while the champion of Gen. Hockaday, the Progress, was after it, why did notit condescend to explain to an anxious public what Mr. Rickey had to do with that matter and what legul ad- vice he could give to entitle him to any part otf such a large fee? Probably Mr. Progress man never heard of alobbyist and does not know what his businessis. Ifhe does he can then state how much advantage he could be to a lawyer in a real intricate law case, where legal knowledge alone should be used. The Truth About New York. !From the New York World (Dem.)|] The great majority of the Democratic party inthe State are irrevocably opposed to tne nomination of Mr. Tilden, without any consid- eration of his moral and physical condition. And finally it was well known that an active minority is notonly opposed to his nomina- tion, but pledged at all hazards to defeat his election should he be nominated, and that this minority last year showed its ability to defeat his election by dereating the re- election of Governor Robinson upon the sole avowed ground that Governor Robin- son was in some sort the representative of Mr. Tilden. Nothing can be idler now than to bandy charges of the responsibility for this state of things. That itexistsis undisputed. andtbatis enough. It isenough to lead all Democrats who care more for their party than they do for the interests or aspirations of any man in it, and more for success in the elections next November than for the pleasure of sviting John Kelly or anybody else, to consider seriously by what means the party can be reunited tor the coming canvass. Enormous Growth of Railroads. The New York Commercial Bulletin gives a list of railroad enterprises undertaken in the past seven months, trom which it appears that 2,971 miles were constructed and 12,641 more projected. These 15,612 miles nearly equal the wholeincrease of mileage tor the three years ending with 1871, the period of greatest activ- ity in railroad building. The capitalization of the roads is not tar from $28,000 a mile, which is much above their actual cost. The Bulletin is naturally alarmed at this repetition of the errors of anti-panic times. The Financial Chronicle counts up the railroads on which Jay Gould has got his clutch, and finds that at present the unfortunate Gould controls only 7,864 miles of road, though there is some prospect that he may yet bring the total up to 8,168 miles, or say one-tenth of the mileage of the Unked States. Midsummer Madness. | From the Philadelphia Times, | The one thing irrevocably settled in regard to the next Presidency is that Mr. Tilden can’t be elected. If Tilden and Grant should be op- posing nominees tens of thousands ot intelli- gent voters of both parties would spend sleep- less nigbtsin deciding—not which they most wanted elected, but which they most wanted defeated; and all the Republicans, with rare exceptions, and a large number of Democrats would gravitate to Grant and elect him. With New York hopelessly against him, and Indi- enaas certain to vote against him as New York, it is simply midsummer madness to per- sist in pressing bim as a candidate. as ri Mr. -), formerly . {From the Brooxlyn Eagle (Dem. and certainly possesses many ad-_ ‘Democrats of the State who ure not opposed to Mr. Tilden because John Kelly is, and who do not desire to see him bead a funeral wroces- sion in the belief that it isa. Presidential con- test because Jobn Kelly and his tolowers ars determined no to join in this interesting cere- mony. Startling News. [From the 8t. Joe Gazette. | We received acall yesterday from Mr. Charles A. Pollock, of St. Louis, a prominent member of the bar of that city. Mr. Polleck is a candl- date tor Secretary of State. A Practical View. [From the Pieree City (Mo.) Record. | In politics, as in everything else, we must look at thin as they are, not as we would have them. hile the record would support Mr. Tilden should he bethe nominee of the Democratic party for the Presidency, yet, be- lieving his candidacy would be fatal to the success Of our cause, we think itthe part of wisdom to shelve him and take up some man who can unite the party where itis disunited and lead us to victory. A Colossal Nuisance. [From the Moberly Headlight. ] | The Eighth Congressional District is to be canvass for Congress. There are a great many political nuisances in the State, but none so colossal in proportions as this man Crisp. The people up there ought to sit down on him this time and flatten him so thin that he will not be able to get in shape for another canvass. A Voice From Maine. (From the Bangor (Me.) Commercial, (Dem.)] The St. Louis Republican is Mr. Tilden’s chief organ ip the West. It howls and roars tor him constantly. In its issue the other day it printed conspicuously a letter which said: ‘*It is better to lose with Mr. Tilden as our can- didate than win with any other man.’’ Itisin such beautiful sentences as these that the spigot of the barrel appears. No Politics. {From the Cincinnati Commercial. | There is to be no politics, itis pleasing to be told, in the reception of General Grunt at Springfield. Butthe dav after the show the G.-D.and the I.-O. will claim that allthe = of Central I!linois are down on their llies yelling for a third term of the illustrious;.

Trot Him Out. {From the New York Tribune.]1 If Tilden is such a ‘‘tower of strength’’ why don’t hisfriends start himona tour of the country and let the public see for itself? His Legatees. [From the Cincinnati Commercial. | It is guessed that when Mr. Samuel Jones Tilden’s political will is opened Payne and Pot- ter will be found to be the legatees.

April 27, 1880. Yours truly, F¥. B. CHAMBERLIN. ___—- Si A Small Correction ~ VERSAILLES, Mo., April 30. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In yourissue of the 29thinst. I notice that you speak of Barnettsville asin Moniteau coun- ty. Thisisamistake. Barnettsville is in Mor- gan county,over four miles fromthe Moniteau county line. But Barnettsville is not the only place visited by the recent stormin Morgan county. From Barnettsville through Morgan county, in a southeastern course, the storm swept everything away for a distance of eight- een miles. Indian Creek and Gravois especially suffered from its visitation, many being wound- ed,a bnumber killedana the destruction of property beingimmense. In the excitement of the time, these two latter points have been overlooked by people at a distance. . VISITOR. Where Vest is Worshipped. MCKINNEY, TEX., April 30, 1880. To the Editor ofthe Post-Dispatch: Iam a daily reader of your genuine Demo- cratic paper (and as such I love it),sent to the address of Blake & Co.. a son-in-law and a son scarcely 20 years old.Seeing a letter published by youfrom my old army friend W.

We have many Missouri- ans in North Texas (the best county now on the continent) and we alllove Vest. Would to God we had the privilege of voting for him, Gov. Seymour or some other true Democrat for President an‘ liveto see him seated. We do not believe they would permit themselves counted out.

St. Louis, May 3, 1880. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Your comment upon the financial troubles ot our local militia is true to the letter. If the property owners and business men of St. Louis can not contribute liberaily enough to support at least one full regiment in first-class shape, the first regiment might as well give up the fight and disoand. iwas forcibly impressed with the ideathatof the fifteen subscribers pub- lished by you, but one firm seemed to look beyond the present. af the supporters of the militia really desire per- manence of organization, the subscriptions must be made annual, and large enough to provide for the shelving oeery vear of a fund to be eventually devoted to the building of an armory. In the event ot serious riot the present armory of the First Regiment would be bata death trap for its oecupants. It should not be difficult to raise a permanent annual subscrip- tion fund of $15,000 or $20,000, of which half totwo-thirds would be laid aside as a trust tund for a substantial armory. ~ OLD GUARD.

Yesterday afternoon Moss & Co.’s checks were returned dishonored and the fact soon became noised abroad. Inquiry for Mr. John S. Moss developed the fact that he was no- where to be found. However, some of the creditors believe he is stillin the city, but the prevalent opinion is that he has left St. Louis. The amount for which the firm failed is about $90,000, the value of 1,500 bales of cot- ton, and the various creditors are let in for sums ranging from $ 1,500 to $25,000. Among the creditors of the bankrupt firm are Senter & Co., Gilkeson & Sloss, Sayle, Stegall & Co., Kirtland, Humphrey & VUe., D. P. Rowland & Co., Fisher Bros. and Adler, Goldman & Co. A meeting ofthe creditors was held last night at tLe res dence of Mr. Wm. Senter, on Lucas avenue, but the proceedings were secret. They throw con- siderable blame on Mr. W. H. Meers, agent of the Fast Freight Line, and there is talk of ae that corporation responsible, as it is claimed they issued bills of lading before they really had the cotton. There is a great deal of reticence observed by the creditors, and the impression is that each one is en- dexvoring to secure himself. Moss & Co. tailed about a year ago for $200,000. Next Sunday’s Skiff Race. The sporting fraternity are all excitement in anticipation of the coming skiff race to take place Sunday nextat2p.m. The course is from the foot of Cass avenue,North St. Louis, to the foot of Chouteau avenue and return,over six miles of a pull, which wil! make it the hardest race ever pulled on the Mississippi waters. The principal contestants are Henry Haling and Henry Castelo, both molders in Filley’s Stove Works, and members of the Mississippi’s champion four. The attendence it isexpected will run up between three and five thousand. Ata meeting of the oarsmen of the Mississippi Rowing Club last nicht it was decided toaliow any amateurs to take parte but not as pene in the contest, and fully twenty different parties are expected totake part in the race.

S » What He Thinks About Candidates, the | pe -) =~ - Bowman Case, etc A reporter of the Post-DispaTCH met. the WMeGrath, last evening, and the following in- terview ensued: R.—There are several candidates spoken of fer Lieutenant-Governor and other State officers? | ‘Mr. MeG.—Yes. but of these there will be but few left about the time the convention meets. There never was, in this State, a can- vass in which the offices were re- @uced down to so few candidates. There are only three named for Governor and really only about four running for Lieu- tenant Governor; four for State Auditor; three for State Treasurer, and three for At- torney-General, and three for Register 0 Lands. For any of the offices there are no: more than four candidates, ard for the ma- ority of them only three. Mesers. Parrish, Gcintyre and Boon are the cundidates for At- tornev-General,and Messrs. Noland.Chappell, end Minteer for Treasurer. Mr. Murphy, of Joplin, who bas been named for Treasurer, is nota candidate. He could not afford to take it ‘jf nominated, Messrs. Holliday, Walker. Clark and Lemmon are the onlv c.in- didatesfor Auditor; and Messrs. McHenry, McCullagh and Bradtield forRegister of Lands. The candidates for Judge of the Supreme Court are Messrs. Napton, Martin, Ray, Car- ter and Burgess. r R:—What of the State Treasury matter? Mr. McG.—That will be ail fixed up, and ‘could be now were it not for pending litiga- tion against the Mastin Bank. The Treasury deficit will cut no figure in the State conven- tion or in the canvass. The State is paying allber demands, and bas been all -the time. The deficit belongs to the interest fund. The demands on this fund are and have always been promptly met and paid. R.—What of the Bowman matter before the Supreme Court? Mr. McG.—Supreme Judges are very sym- athetic, Mr. Bowman’s petition is very arge, and signed by persons of character and influence, and the Judges may take ic that the Legislature intended Bowman’s restoration when they passed the act of 1879, permitting attorneys disbarred to be reiaostated. I think myself Bowman has been punished enough, and this by Radicals chiefly. ADDITIONAL COMMERCE. Receipts and Withdrawals of Wheat FROM KLEVATORS FOR THE 214 HOURS ENDED 7 A. W, TO-DAY.

Quote nomuinal- Ee —" Discovery of a Seientific Cause for This | Wonderful Human Force. -_- — —————— Why Some People are Marvelously Magnetic and Others Not at All. _ —_ How Magnetism Can be Acquired and Controlled by Those Who Do Not Possess It. - — —— A Few Forcible Facts. There is present in every person a certain power, which, for want of a better name. has been called Persoral Magnetism. Insome it can hardly be per- ceived, while in others it isso powerful as to attract the attention ofall. Munvy attempts have been made to xccount for it, but with only parfial success. It is certainly not the result of the will power nor of any special mental forces, because many persons who have little will and less mind are personally very magnetic. In chemical electricity the current is generated by the union of the solids in the battery with the liquids, through dissolution. In the human battery itis reasonable te suppose magnecic force comes from tome powerful union of the chemical elements which takes place in the system. This union must of necé ssity be carried on in the kidneys, and hence itmazks them as the seat of magnetic powerin the body. ‘these wnembers generate the Jiquid elements within, and from this generation comes a myetertous force which cannot be under- stood nor explained and can only be felt. This pow- er varies in individuals justin proportion as the or- gens which produce it are powerful or weak. De- stroy the kidneys and you destroy the personal mag- netism which they cause. Kestore the kidneys and you bring back the power which they alone can pro- duce. This is a new truth, but one which the experi- ence of every carefnl observer willconfirm. Itshows the great necessity of keeping the kidneys in a heal- thy condition, for not onlythe joys of health, ‘fhe certaaty of a terrible death, but one of the great powers of life are dependent upon them. So mys- terigus have their operations been in the past that ‘cientists supposed they were beyond their power, and Bright's disease has been considered as fatal as consumption. Ithas been proven beyonda doubt, however, thatthe pure West India leaf extract, known as Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, will relicve, restoreand regulate these organs in every case. Its value to humanity can thus readily be seen. If perfect hexlth, long life and Personal Magnetism are desired the kidneysmust be kept in perfect or- der, and there is only one certain way by which this exsn be gone, which is by employing the valnable remedy above named and keeping it constantly on hand. As druggists in every part of the land sell it, the difficulty is slight, while the end 1s most desir- able.

Jack Carr;aN otorious Desperado, Fatally Wounded - — ——— By a Policeman,:-While Resist- ing Arrest. The Man in a Dying Condition at the City Hospital. —_ a —_— Details of a Desperate Struggle in the Dark. Police Officer Paul Mercier shot and fatally wounded “Jack’’ Carr, a notorious character, this morning atan early hour, Carr is now in the City Hospital and his life is despaired of. The tragedy occurred at half past one o’clock oon the northeast cor- ner of Fifteenth and Benton. Orfiicer Mercier was slowly pacing his beat. Sud- denly he observed a man emerging from the alley on Fifteenth street, between Benton and Warren. It wag *‘Jack’’ Carr, whose repu- tation is well known in police circles. Mer- cier, however, did not know him. Carr came out of the alley stealthily and cautiously. Mercier, with his keen instinct as a police ofticer, paused and watched him. The man had that appearance, gait and manner which at once made the police officer mentally classify him under the head “suspicious.?’ Carr walked down towards Benton. Mercier crossed over to him. Both men stopped and } gazed at each otber. Mercier is a manof about five feet nine inches,well built ana of or- dinary strength. Carr was a burly, muscular fellow over six feet im _ “height and weighing over 200 pounds. He was brute force and had the advantage. He knew it. All around was quiet and silent. But Mercier didn’t budge Lefore his power- ful antagonist. ‘Where are you going?’’ asked the officer of the law. ‘+That’s pone of your business,’’ retorted the Ishmaelite of the town. ‘WV hat’s your name?” asked Mercier. ‘“That’s none of your business,” sneeringly replied the-enemy of the law. **T guess T will make it my business,’’ said the policeman. **You’d better not,”’ remarked the notorious ** Jack,’”’ conscious of his superior strength. **T find you under suspicious circumstances and I arrest you. Come with me,’’ said Mer- cier, laying his hand on Carr’s shoulder. He was still unaware of the man’s name or his desperate character. . THE DEATH STRUGGLE. Carr glaneed around. No one was in sight. The streets were deserted. Quick as lightning he jumped in on the policeman, struck him in the face and knocked him down. Mercier succeeded in getting on his knees while the gi- gantic rough pummeled him. He grappled with his adversary, and both men struggled as for life and death. Mer- cier regained bis feet, seized his night club to strike Carr, but the latter grasped it and both tuseled forits possession. Brute foree gave Carronce more the advantage. Heat last got hold of the formidable club and struck the officer acrossthe mouth. Another fol- lowed on the cheek, and the desperate combat continued, the rough showering blows with his club. on Mercier’s head and face. Thesitusation was critical. Realiziag that the battle was going against him and that his life was in jeopardy, Mercier pulled his revolver from his pants pocket. Had it been in the hip pocket he could not have drawa it. Mefcier leveled the revolverand tired. Carr “never spoke, but redoubled his blows. Again Mer- cier fired, When Carr let go his hold, the club dropped from his grasp and he fell] back- wards on the paycment, “You son of i—-, you havedone mea dirty trick,’’ gasped Carr, as THE BLOOD STREAMED FROM IIS BODY, forming a pool around him and staining the sidewalk. That was all he said, and then he hecame semi-ubconscious. Mercier was exhausted from the battering he had received, but he immediately went and called up Dr. A. Henske, 2411 N. Sixteenth, who at once came to see the wounded man, Mercier reported to the Fourth District Police Siation,and Carr was conveyed thither. Dr. Henske pronounced the wounds danger- cus and that the man was almost certain to die. Carr was taken to the Dispensary and thento the City Hospital, where he liesiaa wost critical condition. : * OFFICER MERCIER’S STATEMENT. Officer Pau! Mercier is a man 38 years of age, married, and bas three children. He was ap- pointed on the police force on the 18th of May, 1878, so that the present month will complete two years of service. During that tim@ he has been a capable, efficient and trustworthy officer, always attentive to his duties and one acainst whom no complaint was ever made. He is an intelligent-look- ing man and wears a heavy mustache. Former- ly he wasin the mounted district. He isan American, of French descent, andis spokeu of frequently in-the force as ‘*the French- man.’?’ A POST-DISPATCH reporter met him this morning at the Fourth District Police Station. His cheeks were swollen and bruised, and scratched allover. His lip had been ter- ribly cut. Oneeye was fearfully discolored andthe other slightly. Altogether his head showed the evidences of the club pounding he had _ received at the hands of the athletic bully. His-collar hada spot of blood on it. His coat was also spot- ted here and there with blood, and bore un- mistakable signs of the rough usages it had been subjected to. It was plain that Officer Mercier had gone through a severe struggle. The reporter asked him for an account of the | shooting. At first he was reluctant. He said a report had been made to the Chief and he did not wish to say anything. Fivally he was induced to make a statement, which was as follows: ‘[t happened this morning at half past 1 o’clock. I was on the northeast corner of Fifteenth and Benton streets. I saw a nian come out of the alley between Benton and Warren streats. He came down to Benton street and I crossed overto him. I asked him where he was going. He said it was none of wy business. I asked him what his name was and he said it was none of my business. I told him that I had found him under suspicious circumstances and he would have to come with me. With that he jumped on me and knocked me down. I jumped up and grappled with him. He kept on bitting at me. I than drew back, trving to hit him with my club. He snatched that away from meand struck me with the club. With that he got me down on one knee. Of course I grappled with him and he kept on hitting me with the club. Then I drew my — and shot at him. I don’t know whe I hit him. He kept on poundin me and I shot him agaip. ‘Then be fell and remarked, ‘You —— ————, vou’ve done me a dirty trick.’ Then I called Dr. Henske and reported to the station.’’ STILL ON DUTY. Captain Daly of the Fourth District inform- ed the re er that Mercier was still on duty. A report had been sent to Chief McDonough. called on or arrest Officer Mercier. eflicient policeman. Jack Carr was well known to the police. His reputation was bad. He worked around the river and at the umber yards. AFTER THE FIGHT. The sound of the firing reached the Fourth District Police Station and Officers Smith, Holzeman, Furguson, Schmitker and Credel- kerde at once hastened to the locality. They found Carr on the pavement wounded, and Dr. Henseke was immediately summoned. Tae ball from the second shot had entered the left side of the’stomach, passing through the bedy and coming out of the right side. The doc- tors believe it will prove fatal. Officer Mer- cier has twice been shot at while on the force, but escaped both times. The first occasion was on the cornerof Ninth and Spring streets and the second Eleventh and Spring. WHAT CARR SAYS. This afternoon a reporter called upon Jack Carr, the wounded man whois confined at the City Hospital. The man was suffering very severely at the time and had commenced spitting blood, which is ree »gniz- edasavery bud symptom. In response to questions Carr said that Hf wason his way home from a meeting, and when coming out of the alley on Fifteenth street, near Benton he was accosted bv an oflicer, who wanted to make his arrest. Carr resisted and struck the officer with his __ fists, but denied that he used a_ club. Carr said, **I never saw the officer before in my life that I know of, and had no grudge against him. He fired three times at me, the last shot hitting me iin. the stomach. I was at a lumber pilers’ meeting.
