NEW YORK, August 6.— Dr. Tanner entered upon the last day of his fast at noon. His pain is intense and ever since last night every move be makes either induces emesis or causes eructations of gas. A chemical analy- sisof the fluid from his stomach, it is claimed, shows that the fast has been honestly conducted. Every hour he walks around the enclosure without assistance, that the spectators may see him. Atl a. m. he was quite sick. Fifteen minutes later he was lying on his cot with his knees drawn up to his stomach. He asked the watchers to notice his breathing without giving a reason therefor. His respiration was found to be fourteen to the minute and nat- ural. He fell asleep again, but soon after made an effort to vomit. He brought only a small quantity of matter. After a sleep of an hour the Doctor again drew himself up in a heap and soon had another ATTACK OF NAUSEA, vomiting mucous and water. Tbe sugges- tion that a mustard plaster be put on his stomsch was scouted by the Doctor, who said nothing would rélieve the discomfort but beef, wine andiron. He remained quiet and comfortable until nearly eight, when be ejected from his stomach two ounces of water tinged with bile. He was given at 8:15 two and a half ounces of water, which was soon followed by another attack of nausea. A mustard foot-bath made him quite comfortable again, however. At 10 o’ciock the Doctor drank four ounees of water and then, descending to the lower hall, walked one lap. He repeated the pedestrian per- formance at 11 and 12 o’clock, and in the in- terval drank three ounces of water. At noon he declared his condition good. TWO PROPOSALS OF MARRIAGE and an offer from the Chicago Lyceum man- ager for the Doctor to lecture through the Western States were among the morning mail. A very large crowd fs in the hall. WHAT HE WILL EAT FIRST. Tanner is lively this morning and looks more like a man undergoing the strain of mental, rather than physical trouble. Dr. Green, whose opinion will prevail in the emergency, says he will have Tanner break bis fast to-morrow with diluted milk, two- thirds water and one-third milk. — — - 3 POS on A CHICAGO MURDERER. Arrest of the Burglar Who Killed John McMahon. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CuicaGco, August 6.—The brutal murder of John McMahon, who was shot dead in his bed by a burglar Tuesday morning last, was appre- hended by the Deering street police this morning and positively identitied by the widow of the murdered man. The man claims tof be Daniel O’Neil and to hail from Cleveland, Obio, living at 54 Franklin street in that city. He isa brickmaker by trade, and has been employed near the McMahon IIouse. He was taken before Mrs. McMahon without previous warning shortly after his arrest this morning. Immediately on seeing O’Neil she exclaimed, That's the man who killed my husband.“ The police were in possession of no partieular clue that led to his apprehension. They had simply noticed that he acted strangely, and therefore he was ‘‘run in” as have been a dozen or fifteen others. on suspicion. He exactly answers the: description of the murderer as given »y Mrs. McMahon. The identification of the man is con- sidered by the police and detectives to be beyond a doubt. The arrest of his accomplice is now a matter of buta very short time.

The exhibition of a large collection of the leading products and marufactures of Mexico at tte annual Fair last year and the premi- ums awarded to the euterprising Mexicans who sent those goods produced an excellent effect, which is set forth in a late issue of the Mexican correspondence of E! Comercio del Valle, of this citv: As the railroads to and through the north- ern and western States of Mexico are now heing rapidly constructed, the time is at rand whenthe merchants and business men of this city must vrouse the m-e) ves to a sense of self-interestin securing for St. Louis her due sbare of thi< valuable trade. When built, the railroad will not be a rail- road from St. Lonis to Mexico, but one eon- necting everv citv in the countev with that Republie. Sothe competition for the trade will be a fierce one, and the victory, as in mo-t eases of this kind, will be with the lo- culity that demonstrates the most energy, enterprise and pluck. St. Louis bas, un- doubtedly, all the natural and moral advar- tages now in ber favor. But these will be compelled to recede before the superior push and enterprise of rival cities unless the merchants move at ence in the important matter. As an evidence ofthe favor in whieh St. luis is regarded in Mexico the reporter learned from the Mexican Consul in this eitv that letters of inquiry are coming to bim by every mail from Mexico for agricultural Implements, mining machinery. railroad materials, furniture, and almost every class of manufactured articles. It is evident from this that our manufacturers must make themselves known in the principal cities of Mexico before they can expect to receive these orders direet. An evidence of the popularity of 8. Louis institutions of learning is the fast that there are at present some sixteen young men from Mexico now being educated in this city, and there arrived here the dav before yesterday, eigbt or ten more who will become residents of St. Louis until their English education ts completed. The names of these late arrivals as learned from Mr. John F. Cahil?. the | Mexican Consul, are as follows: Luis Terra- zas, Federico Terrazas, Julio Fandoa, Carlos Jaques, Jose Asunsolo, Guadalupe Miramon- tes, Anustasio Jaques. The firet two named are sons of Don Luis Terrazas, the present Governor of the State of Chihuahua, and are bright,iutellicent lookiog youths of sixteen and nineteen years respectively. The others range from thirteen to sixteen years old. They come in charge of Don Ramon Lujan, a banker of Chihuahua, who has four sons being educated at the College of the Christian Brothers. They came overland as far as Aibuquerque, New Mexico, at which they took the Atchison, Topeka and Santake Roed for St. Louis. The entire party called upon Mr. Cah'li ves- terday at bis new quarters, 216 Nortb Figbth street. The Spsnivxh students also paid a visit to the oftice of El Comercio del Valle, whose editor gave them a lesson in Spanish onthe present greatness and future gresterness of tne metropolis of the Mississippi Valley. The students prom- ised to reciprocate by furnishing a communi- their impressions of St. Louis. CITY PERSONALS. evening for Lake Minnetonka, to be absent several weeks. Mr. M. J.

If they had been common people they would have been shoved out at the end ofa police- man’s billet. — - — — — — — Hotel Arrivals. Capt. T. J. Spencer, U.S. A., is at the La- clede, Judes I.. F.
