How Mr. Mason Proposes to Give Away Wall Street Secrets--Everybody His Own Speculator—What the President of the Board of Trade Says. » By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw YORK, July 17.—The following note was received at The World office yesterday: *‘To The World: Your disposition to shield the innocent and expose the guilty is a well- known fact. Here is one of those polite circulars which you so fully described a few days since in an interview. Of course this is a swindle, out and out, and if any man had the knowledge this circular offers to dis- pose of he would not stay long in Wall street or take chances of this kind. Reader.” The circular inclosed in ‘this note is an anonymous one, and the following is an ex- tract fromit: “For months we have been privately furnishing advice on-the stock, oil and grain markets and have a large nuniber of correspondents, who have carefully tested our inforination and hever make a move inthe market without consulting us. | We claim to be able to give in advance the tendency of the markets, that is, whether they will go higher or lower, for the day. Our agent will be af room twenty-seven, Stevens louse, Broadway, every day from nine until eleven o’clock, commencing Mon- day, July16. Weknow we have something of value to operators, and, in order to give them an opportunity to testit WITHOUT MUCH EXPENSE, our terms for a few days wil: only be $1 for an interview. Afterthatthey will be $5. At $5 our terms are very low. Suppose an operator intended to buy. We teil him, per- haps, that the market is going lower, ana bg waiting he saves enough to pay our commis- sion twenty times over. It is worth money to know when tie market is a better sale than purchase, and our patrons get this knowledge for $5. We might possibly be wrong the first day a customer tried us, but a few days’ test will convineéé any one that we have the power to do all we claim.” The reporter of the World, to whom this circular was intrusted, called at the Stevens House to visit this wizard of .the stock market, A prolonged search showed that there was no “room 'twenty-seven” in the whole house. The clerk, however, said thataman who registered himself as ‘*Wiiliam Mason, city,” had taken a room that noe Room six- teen had been accorded Mr. Mason, and to this room the reporter made his-way. In an- swer to the knock, Pek psa sn MR. MASON SPRANG FORWARD to welcome his visitor. “I picked up a cir- cular of yours on the street,”’ said the re- porter, with a lump in his throat as he said it, “I thought l should like to speculate a little, safely.” “I see.”” said Mr. Mason; “in what line would you like to operate?” “Well, I have been thinking about oil,’’ and the reporter began to mentally say his prayers. “We decided this morning,” said Mr. Ma- son, “not to touch it, because of the vast amount of business we are doing in stoeks. Most of our customers desire to deal in stocks, and we thought we would throw out oil and grain for the present and devote our- selves to stocks.” ‘Is it safe to deal In stocks?” “Perfectly so, Itis not like a gambling operation. It depends upon a man’s judg- ment whether he ean foretell the course of prices. Lam simply the agent of men who are im a position to know the drift of the market. They are in the _ possession of secret, positive information. We have been’ giving information for a long time past to a large numoper of cus- tomers and have given universal satisfac- ton. During the past ninety-three days we have been wrong but three times as to The other day ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS cleared a. thousand dollars. Sume men of limited means dealonly insmall quantities atatime. For instance an insurance clerk last week made $12s on his operations.” ‘*T should think that by giving your secret points on the market toso many customers as you obiain the information would lose its value. A pointto be valuable must be possessed by few.” “Well there are 30,000 operators in the street,”’ he said. “l have had ninety-four customers to-day. Taken by themselves that is a large number, but they are nothing in an army of 30,000.” After some further conversation in which Mr. Mason en- larged on the advantage of his scheme, the reporter withdrew with the remark that he would consider the matter and call again the next day with his dollar. The clerk of the hotel said that instead of ninety- four persons calling on Mr. Mason only about a dozen hud done so. Mr. Mason looked to be about twenty-eight or thirty years old. He was fashionably dressed, and earried a heavy gold chain. Heis OF SLENDER BUILD, with dark hair and mustache. On Wall street nobody knew who Mr. Mason was, and everybody to whom his circular was shown smiled derisively. “Et is a humbug,” said President Hatch of the 8teck exchange, “such as springs up ence: in awhile. The exchange has in times past so thoroughly ex- posed this elass of enterprises and prose- cuted and punished the offenders that we feel now that men must be geese who will allow themselves to be swindled. No man possessing such secrets as this circular offers would seli them for $1.” WAITING FOR A FORTUNE, Mr. Lynch, of New York, tn Search of Several Million Doliars. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YORK, July 17.—A wealthy property owner of Williamsburg, Mg Martin Lynch,of 220 North Sixth street, is ow awaiting ad- vices from France which M6 @xpects will make him heir to property there'the value of which is reckoned in the millions. The property belonged to James Duniap, his wife’s uncle, who was born in Galway, Ire- land, in 1770, but who, whena young man, left that country and settled in St. Remy, France. He became a wine-grower and amassed an immense forturie. He had never married, but he had not kept up any corre- spondence with the other members of his family. About ten years ago ason of Mr. Lynch while talking with a tenant who had come from England, told him about his mother’s uncle, and was surprised to hear the man say he recollected ving read in the English papers of the death of a man of the same name, who was also a vine-grower at St. Remy. He could not recollect, how- ever, where he died. This conversation was repeated tu Mr. Lyneh, who immediately took steps to ascertain the truth of the Statement. After advertising, Mr. Lynch IFNALLY BEGAN CORRESPONDENCE with Mr. M. H. Vallette, a lawyer at Avig- non, from whom he received a letter, paying that Mr. Dunlap had disappeared from his hotel at St. Remy, in 1832, and; not appear- ing in a certain number of years, the public administrator had taken possession of his estate. Another letter told him that the preprietos of the hotel in which Mr. Dunlap ad boarded had assumed control of the es- tate, claiming that Mr. Dunlap, before leav- ing St. Remy, had told him that he had no heirs. This gentleman, now that heirs had been discovered, was perfectly willing to give up the estate. During the many years in which he was in possession he must have made a snug fortune. After ee prise that a man of Mr. Duniap’s wealt _ SHOULD HAVE DISAPPEARED so quickly and nothing afterwards be heard of him, Mr. Vallette advised Mr. Lynch to advertise in the French papers for informa- tion concerning him. This Mr. Lynch did, and on Saturday he received another letter from a man who knew that Mr. Dunlap had died at Jeast fifteen years ago. He did not State where he died. Mr. Vallette also said that he had sent three of the papers in which the advertisements appeared, but none of these has been received. Another letter sent to Mr. Lynch’s lawyer said that the writer had known Mr. Duniap, whose property at St. Remy was valued at $2,000,- 000. Mr. Lynch told a World reporter ye;- terday that he was ready to go to France at &moment’s notice, and was only awaiting later advices from his lawyer. “Iam in no hurry,” he added. “Mr. Vallette doesn’t want anything from me until he puts me in possession of the property. Then he will zet ten per cent. Mr. Duniap had a sister in reland, and both she and her children are now alive, and they, of course, will come in for their share.”’ A MONOMANTAC, Explanation of Queen Vic- toria’s Iilness. By Tel€graph to the Post-Dispatch. New YORK, July 17.—A London letter to the Sun, dated July 3, says: “The statement Jong expressed in hypocritical sighs, uplift- ed, mournful eyes, suppressed interjections, inuendoes whispered with bated breath, veiled in metaphor or clad in wary disguise, is now coldly, calmly, openly, dispassionate- ly discussed by partisans as well as foes, by flatterers and scoffers. The mind of the Queen, not her body, is affected. Her eccentricities have taken unto themselves a pame which is only a synonyme for insanity. THE LURKING TAINT in the Hanoverian blood, ghe dementia trace- able in the line of the Georges, bursting out ever and afresh in some wild or wicked break, now seems to have unmistakably overtaken the Queen, ‘The more or less harmless manias in which, during along reign, Queen Victoria has allowed herself to indulge unchallenged and unbiamed, the erratic fancies, sudden caprices, unreasonin dislikes, unconquerable obstinacy of which so many testimonies ex- ist, seem to have culminated at last in a sud- den,serious, protracted, undisguisable attack of melancholy, a monomania ef. seclusion, sadness and fear, which it is idle now to col- or with any other motive. It is not in disre- spect or with coarse insinuation that one is justified in attributing this last and painful outburst to the death of the favorite Gillie. To one s0 selfish, the smallest alteration in daily habits at once becomes important. Small causes have at times great effects, and a subordinate incident will precipitate events which far more serious casualties have left unchanged. Still when a woman, a widow and a queen, has been known to advocate the doctrine of THE TRANSMIGRATION OF SOULS in‘support of her sympathies, when she is credited with the belief that the soul of the rrinee consort had _ elected its domicile in the body of John Brown, itis not ungen- erous or unnatural to conclude that her mind had already to some extent lost its equilibrium. History has already. registered in its pages the authenticated fact that Queen Victoria gazed with favot\upon the face of her servant in the fond delysion that ~~ could trace upon his COTCH, SQUARE, BROAD LINKAMENTS some resempiance tu the outlines of Prince Alibert’s features... The disruption of this second all but wifely communion was a cruel shock, and the consequences of it were so alarming that the effects of a very slight, al- most illusory accident, were magnified into a serious and dangerous’ sprain, so as to account to the public for the com- plete withdrawal of the sovereign from all intercourse, and her absolute seclusion from any eyes, save those of her immediate en- tourage, and abstention from public duties, except the compulsory and wholesale signing of State papers. The Queen has been conveyed from Windsor to Osborne, thence to Balmoral and back again to Windsor, in profound and mysterious lso- lation. Her movements are shrouded IN IMPERVIOUS SECRECY, all precautions against intrusion of any kind are strictly and jealousy taken, and the stringent necessity of a perfect change of scene, air and surroundings are urgéatl y im- pressed upon the nation.

HE WAS DRUNK, And He Married a Woman Twenty Years His Senior. -— —_— Maurice Sullivan Tells His Sorrowful Tale—A Widow, with Children as Old as Himself, Forces Him to Marry—The Part Played by a Pistol and a Coupe. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, July 17.—Maurice Sullivan has begun suit in the Supreme Court to have his marriage with his wife, Sophia, declared null. The case has been referred to Mr. Al- fred E. Albers, before whom the hearing was begun last week. Sullivan, on March 21 last, was married to Mrs. Séphia Healy. He is about twenty-three years old, is a little man, and looks iike a boy. The widow Healy was forty-four years old, and weighed nearly 200 pounds. .She is the mother of five chil- dren. The oldest is two years younger than her husband, and the youngest is eight years old. She appeared in the referee’s office with several friends, one of whom was with her as a witness of her marriage. Sullivan’s complaint alleges that HIS WIFE GOT HIM DRUNK and married him without his knowl- edge and against his will. Mrs. Sul- livan’s answer says that the marriage was made when both parties were sober and that he consented thereto, that it fol- lowed the usual engagement, and that Sulli- van lived with her as her husband for three days after the marriage. Sullivan testified in his own behalf that he had been ac- 4 quainted with Mrs. Healy three years before he married her. He wasa frequent visitor ather home. He always left the house drunk. On the night of March 20 he was there from nine o’clock until four o’clock the next morning. He and another man and Mrs. Healy drank two bottles of 1ye whisky. The other young man went away ag be- sides. At3:30 in the morning Mrs. Healy told him HE MUST MARRY HER or she would kiil him. She said she would call for him witha coupe in the after- noon at the store. He left the house, drunk as usual, at four o’clock. He got to lis bed at 5:30 a. m., and at 6:10 a; m. arose and went to his place of business. He took several drinks during the day to brace his nerves. At four o’clock in the afternoon, a coupe with the present Mrs. Sullivan and an- other woman in it came after him. He put them off for half an hour on a plea of busi- ness. Then, beingin fear of his life, be- cause it had been indicated to him that a pistol had been brought along, he. got into the carriage. His only recollection of what subsequently happened was; that they stopped one or more times for drinks, On the morn- ing of the 22d he woke up to find himself a married man. He went to his place of busi- ness, and returned at night to her house, and in the presence of her children asked Mrs. Sullivan to release him. Instead of do- ing so, he says, SHE COMPELLED HIM BY FORCE to remain in the house that —_ The next two days he went to work as before, and re- turned to his wife each night, and was each time forcibly compelled to remain. On March 25 he did not return. Two days later she came down to the store in the Astor ouse. He says he went with her toa Bar- clay street saloon for a drink, and then she took him by the arm and walked him to a saloon in Third avenue. There she offered to let him go if he would give her $500. When they got on a street car in Third av- enue she let go his arm, andheran. She got off the car and ran after him, shouting “Stop, thief.” A policeman stopped him and delivered him over to her. She tried to shoot him, but he escaped down aside street. Sullivan admitted, on cross-examination, that he had been able to cut three suits of clothes on the day he was married. Max Steinert, who appeared for Mrs. Sulliyan, said that his client would bring the woman who accompanied her ip the ans onthe day of her marriage to swear that Sullivan was not only sober, but was anxious for the ceremony to goon. The preacher who performed the ceremony would testify that SULLIVAN W4S SOBER. So would other witnesses. Mrs. Sullivan says that Sullivan knew she had prepeesy worth $15,000. On the morning of the 25t of March, she says, up to which date all had gone well since their marriage, he asked her tor $2,000. “If he had only had the patience to wait alittle while, I would have given him everything I had, but when he was so fresh, | was suspicious. On the 29th, find- ing her husband had deserted her, she had him arrested. ‘The saine vay he b¥ought suit to have the marriage declared void. Sullivan was requiréd to pay his wife $3 a week ali- mony pending the result of the action in the Supreme Court. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. Eight Boilers Explode— Two , Men Killed and Several Injured.

The wedding was a quiet affair, the ceremony being performed in the presence of only the immediate relatives of the couple and a select number ct their friends, Rev. Aaron Turner of the M. E. Church was the officiat- ' ing clergyman, the bride being a eotimuni- _¢cantin his church. The ceremony was per- “formed at the residence of the bride’s parents, on upper Third street. Promptly at the hour announced the bridal couple de- “ secended to the parlors unattended, where the guests were assembled, and were made man and wife in accordance with the simple, though impressive, rites of the M. E.Chureh. THE BRIDE is a radiant little beauty of the perfect blonde type. She has blue eyes anda wealth of golden hair, finely-chiseled features, nose slightly retrousse, an intellectual expression, ’acharming, well-moulded, petite form, and . all the graces that go to constitute an en- chanting womanhood. a HER BRIDAL COSTUME was a steel-coloreda gros-grain silk, trimmed with satin ribbon rosettes. The ornaments were diamonds. Her hair was worn ina high coiffure. She had cream-colored six- button kid gloves, and crepe de lisse on the neck. The dress was made with bodice and high corsage, giving the best effect to her graceful form, THE GROOM appeared to the best advantage in the con- ventional attire of black broadcloth, white. tie and gloves and a_ bou- tonierre. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Ewing received the congratula- tions of their friends, which were sincere effu- sions of good will, for no more popular young people can be found than those who to-day have plighted their affections and made so auspicious an advent into the blissful realms of matrimony. At 12°o’clock a sumptuous dinner was served, in which hospltality and good cheer shone resplendent. The best caterers -were fairly outdone in the spread of tempting viands, the host and hostess being assisted by their charming and accomplished daughters, Misses Annabel and Alice, sia- ters of the bride, in entertaining the guests. There was a beautiful display of rare flowers in the parior and dining-hall, which greatly added to the effect of the sur- roundings. Among THOSE PRESENT vere Mr. and Mrs, Fred.

Our Mayor, bachelor no longer, was born in St. Louis on March 16, 1843, and is in his fortieth year. His father, the late Wm. L. Ewing, sr., was a wholesale merchant, noted for his public spirit and extended, His mother was a member benevolence. of the old Berthold stock. Our Mayor was educated at the Christian Brothers’ College, and immediately after Jeaving that institu- tion he entered his father’s business house He the capacity. of clerical a member in a became firm, s00n but withdrew from business upon the death of his father, and spent most of his time in attending to his farming interests near Vin- cennes, the old homestead in which his father was born being known as Mont Clar. When elected in 1877 to the House of Delegates, he settled down in St. Louis again. He comes. from rare old stock, his grandfather, Nathaniel Ewing, having been very prominently-identified with the history of the territory of Indiana. The Ewing homestead at Miami and California avenues, where the happy couple will keep housé, is an old-fashioned brick and stone building ‘elegantly furnished and appointed and sur- rounded by beautiful grounds. The Mayor ‘nas always been noted for his hospitality, and now with a fair bride to preside at the _ festivities, the old house will be more than ever a favorite resort of St. Louis’ oldest and best citizens. | : Coming to St. Louls. | By Telegraph to the Post-Dispa Wasuinetos, July 17.—The — ‘lub of Knights Templar, composed of sir “knights from Washington and Baltimore, *Jeave her for San > = Francisco on August t by Road, and will ar- : lowing day in St. Louis, leaving there on the evening of the 10th for Denver.

Lowe of the Architect's Office testified that there were no draughts- men in the office in 1878 able to prepare plans for the heating apparatus for the Chicago buildings. The Architect’s Office did not undertake to make plans for heating appar- atus for large buildings, because they were necessarily complex and required much time ip preparation. Coleman proposed toshow the relations existing between Hill and the American Safe Company. The United States Fireproof Shutter Company and Geo. L. Damon were all one and the Same person, he said. The .five contracts for furnishing iron shutters for the public buildings made with the Fire-proof Shutter company, were put in evidence. Coleman called attention to the fact that they were signed by Damun as superintendent of the company, and asked if the defense would concede that they were all of the contracts made for the supply of fire-proof shutters since August 1, 1876,-. Hill acknowledged that such was the fact. The next in eyi- dence were contracts, made with George L. Damon, for supplying safes and vault» for, ublic buildings. Coleman asked if the de- ense would concede that Damon was the only contractor for safes and vaults since 1876. Hill could not say, but thought it probable. Next in order were a number of contracts for safes and vaults, which Coleman said had been made with Damon upon verbal authority. He also read Damon’s card, wherein he describes himself as a builder. of safes for the Treasury Department. ‘He has had that upon his letter-heads fifteen years,’’ said Totten. “Then itis time he gave some oneelse a chance,” replied Coleman. Hill Will Resign. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch.

Hill, supervising architect of the Treasury, was to-day calied to the statement that he intends to resign when the present investigation is closed. He said tie state- ments were premature.

Moore, 12; Gilman Marston, 22; Mason W. Tappen, 34; James F. Briggs, 48; Wm. E. Chandler, 65; Harry Bingham, 112. Briggs of Manchester rose to a personal explana- tion. He said that an article which appeared in the National Republican of Washington on Saturday, which contained an order, is- sued by direction of Major-General Sum- ner on December 7, 1862, dismissing Briggs, ~then assistant quartermaste? of the Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers from the service for resigning in the face of the enemy,demanded an explana- tion., After the battle of Fredericksburg he applied to Gen, Sumner in person for a leave of absence to attend toimportant business at home, but the request was denied, Gen. Sumner said he would accept his resignation, whereupon it was presented. He came home, looked a‘ter his business, returned to the front and assumed his former position, which had been held open for him. He con- tinued with the regiment until obiiged to resign on account of sickness, and an order which he read, issued August 1, 1863, granted him an honorable discharge from the service. It was the first personal explanation he hadever been cailed upon to make during a long. term of public eservice, which included six years in Congress. At the conclusion of his remarks a resolution, accepting the explanation given as perfectly satisfactory, and exonerating Briggs from any suspicion of cowardice, was unanimously adopted.

Carro, July 17.—The Sanitary Commission is endeavoring to purify Cairo and to isolate the houses where cholera has appeared.

WANTS DAMAGES. The Tower Grove ¢ Church Troubles Ter- minate in a Suit for $20,000. Mr. Abial R. Newcomb by his attorney C. P. Johnson, this afternoon instétuted a suit for slander against James A.

The plaintiff alleges that on April 15th last the defendant spoke of him in the the following false and defamatory words: “He stole the iamps;” ‘the stole the coal- hod ;” “tne stole the lamps belonging to the chureh;” “he is guilty of larceny.” The church to which the defendant referred to is the ‘luwer Grove M. E. Church, situated on Kentucky avenue, between Swan avenue and the New Manchester road.

MINIONS OF THE MOON. How Idle Men and Women Spend the Night Time Rambling About. -— Sleeping by Turns in Lumber Yards and the Public Parks in Summer, and Boat-Hulls and Rolling-Mills During the Cold Winter Nights—Tin-Canners, ‘Run in the ramblers,” was the order left by the various po!ice captains to the ser- geants in churge of the platoons last night. To most people this is an unintelligible man- date, but it was understood by tne police of- ficers without further explanation. “Come along with me,” said Sergeant Bree, of the Central Disirict, ‘“‘and let me introduce you to some of the ramblers.’’ The Sergeant and the reporter left the Four Courts shortly after the night platoons had been stationed about the city. The moon was hidden by ily ing clouds, but now and then shone out clearly, causing the officer to remark: ‘“This is a daisy night to get them.” Washington Park, diagonally across from the Four Courts, was entered from the Twelfth street gate, and was apparently deserted, a fact remarked by the reporter. “QO, they are here,” said the Sergeant, but they are like poisoned rats—sure to be found near water. Let us walk up to the fountainand see if we can’t scare uP a flock or two.”’ ‘The officer covered his shield and sliding his club up into his coat-sieeve, walked directly upon a gang of wale ramblers. Each occupied one half a bench, leaving bis feet to dangle down and pillowing his head ona shoe, cushioned with an old slouch hat or some other article of mearing apparel spread over a brick. “Hard times boys,” remarked Sergeant Bree, in his own and only comical style. “Yes, they are,’ replied one of the crowd, who did not discover’ that his new acquaintance was an. officer. “It’s a hustle now for grub, you bet yer life.” Atthis pointin the con- versation one of his “‘pals” gave him “the office,’’ and he suddenly sublided, and, slid- ing on his shoe, FOUND BUSINESS IN ANOTHER LOCALITY. As he was leaving, two others called to him and made his departure an excuse for their own escape. Within a _ few minutes the benches were clear and the lame forgot to halt or the blind to grope in the hurry to gestout of reach of the blue coats. “These dre all new ones. Let's go over to Missouri Park and see what Officer Bob Jaques has been doing for Judge Jecko. They are _ just athering, Sergeant,” said the officer, making an informal report of the situation to his superior officer. At the suggestion of the officers the re- porter undertook an exploration, having re- ceived information thata crowd of female rainblers were congregated on the St. Charles street side. Passing this place noone could beseen, but alow buzz of conversation was wafted into the street by the midnight breezes. The park watchman was notin sight, and in a few minutes the re- porter was standing in. front of a group of the most dejected-looking ragged wo- men. “Good evening,”’ said the reporter. “Good even’. Gi’ uSadime to get a can 0’ beer,”’ was the prompt respopse to the salutation. The dime was given and the group arose like unto a single woman and started for a large tin can, which lay inthe grass about ten feet off. Instead ofa dispute as to who should go for the beer they were all anxious to start. “You don’t go, Mary Hallisy,” said an old crone, extending a skin- ny hand torestrain another woman. ‘Ye drank the stuff on last Lhursday night, an’ came here alyin’ and sayin’ you lost the dime in the sewer. You'll never go for no beer as longas I’ve got anything to say about it.”’ After much discussion and a consultation as to where the messengers would be likely to get the beer, a woman younger than the rest was started off with the can under her shawl, in company with A HARDENED OLD WOMAN, who swore in the most original manner. ‘‘What are you doin’ out so late, young fel- ler?” asked one of the women. ‘Oh, I couldn’t sleep, solcame out fora walk.’ ‘*?Pon me soul, I could sleep if I had any place to sleep. I’ve got to go to work at four .o’clock, but I’m up here gassing to these old women like as if I never had to work.” ‘“‘What work do you have to do?’ “Oh, I scrub out two saloons every morn- ing. The nigger porter gives me the job and pays me enough to get a meal an’ gives ine a couple o’ drinks in the morning just'about the time I need ’em purty bad,”’ “Do ali these women work?” “No; some of these old hags ‘ud starve afore they’d do a day’s work to keep from it. I used to have a room, but I couldn't get any work fora month so Il had to sell my stove and bed, and I ain’t got enough together since to start housekeeping again, so I’ve got to stay out wish these old crones all night.” The arrival of the officers cut short the dia- logue and the crowd was scattered in short order. “Let’s go down towards the lumber yards and see what kind of acrowd there is there.”’ The yards near the Union Depot were visited and as the officer took up his stand near the curb and rapped his club a_ half a dozen young men sneaked off of the lumber stacked against the fenee and with- out asking any quesvions departed well satis- fied that they were notarrested for taking up quarters without the permission of the owners. “Where do these ter time, sergeant?’ ‘‘Well, mavy of them are wise enough to make sowe provision for that weather. The men wanage to steal into the hulls of the wharves — the river when the private watchman is not looking and build themselves a bed over the bilge water. Others of them hang around the rolling-mills and iron-works and sleep in the warm corners of these places. ‘The pro- prietors of the Helmbacher forge, in the Second district, are continually annoyed,and in making the raids on this place as high as forty or fifty tramps have been taken from the buildings and around the furnaces. people sleep in the win- Fifty Feet 3-4 Inch 3-ply of Garden Hose, All complete, including brass pipe couplings and clamps for $5.00.

TO-MORROW At Noon, New York Time, the Telegraphers Will Strike. The Tickers will Cease All Over the Coun- try Unless the Western Union Accedes to the Demands of the Brotherhood— Both Sides Preparing for the Inevitable. Thereis no reason to believe that the Western Union Telegraph Company will ac- cede in any particular to the demands of the brotherhood of telegraph operators, and the “strike” will occur to-morrow. An active member of the brotherhood said this morn- ing that the conference between General Eckert and the executive committee was not fully reported by the associated press. *The committee was not to be baulked by Eckert’s bluff about the signatures of dis- satisfied employes although they must have been surprised when he took that quibbling stand. General Eckert knows as well as anybody else, of the existence of the brotherhood, and he knew that the com- mittee had full power to act. To Dreparea petition bearing the names of the dissatis- fiel employes would be a work of great la- bor, and there being no necessity for such a document, the committee was not long in making up its mind to refuse to have it made . They then notified Mr. Eckert that forty-eight hours’ time to consider the bill of grievances would be allowed the company, and a failure to accede would precipitate a general strike. THE PROGRAMME AGREED UPON is as follows:. ‘The. operators WUI con- tinue at work until the signal is received.’ At precisely noon in New York City the operators will all leave their keys, put on their coats and quietly leave the building. Simultaneously in every office east of the Rocky Mountains operators will do the same thing. FOR INSTANCE IN ST. LOUIS, the operators will quit work at 11:05, allow- ing for the fifty-five minutes difference in time between here and New York. The men will make no demonstration. Some of them will escort ladies from the building, for they are as enthusiastic as any of the men in the movement. Withiu five ininutes there will not be a _ striking operator in the vicinity of the office. ‘That policy will be pursued throughout the coun- try. Idle assemblages are positively pro- hibited, and particular care will be taken not to gather near the office at any time during the strike. A hall has been selected in each city where a daily business meeting will be held. There will positively be no parading, or mass meetings or other public demonstra- tion, and every effort will be made to. pre- vent the younger and wilder men of the craft from getting drunk or in any manner bringing discredit on the movement. On the occasion of the strike of 1870 we had that element to contend against, and they did much towards bringing the strike into disrepute. This is not an enthusiastic, sud- den matter. OUR MEN HAVE BEEN QUIETLY PREPAR- ING for this action since January 1st. Manager Brown is credited with saying that we will not be able to hold out two weeks; that our necessities will drive us back to work. He is mistaken. We can hold out for ten weeks at least. We are backed by the Knights of Labor, the strongest or- ganization of the kind ever known, and when our own resources fail, its members wili each contribute 10 cents ger week to the support of the cause, which Wul make about $10 per week for each family and $5 for each single man. Many of our men who have been living in houses for which they “eames $25 to $30 per month, have moved into three rooms at $12 to $15 per month, have quietly laid in provisions, and are prepared to wait until the clouds roll by.” “What do you think of Manager Brown’s claim that he will have no trouble in securing a sufficient force of operators?’ ‘‘He knows better. He has oniy to fall back upon a lot of broken-down oid oper- ators who have been working for the com- pany for twenty or twenty-five years, and who are now enjoying sinecures, and a lot of those SO-CALLED TELEGRAPHERS fromthe colleges. One good operator is worth twenty of them. A merchant who would entrust one of them with a message ordering 100 barrels of flour need not be surprised to learn that fifty kegs of nails are on the way, subject to his order.” ‘But will the railroad operators not com to their aid?” “I think not. All the good railroad oper- ators are members of the brotherhood. This morning five of them came to the city and appiied for work at the Western Union. Be- fore ten o’clock we had them initiated in the brotherhood, That is the way we are doing, making recruits right along.” A TELEGRAPH OPERATOR on ’Change, who is ‘prominently connected with the brotherhood; when questioned this morning as to the condition of affairs, said: ‘We hope there will be no trouble between the Western Union and the operators, but should it come to the worst we are fully pre- pared to meet any emergency. This strike has been under consideration since last Jan- uary, when fifty delegates, representing 9,000 operators, met in convention at Chica- go to consider the advisability of presenting this bill of grievances. After a five days’ session, during which all points were thor- oughly discussed, it was decided to present the bill on Juty 16. In the meantime the or- ganization was to be perfected and strength- ened. Ten organizers were appointed at a salary of $100 each and expenses per month for the purpose of canvassing the country and initiatigg all operators who desired to join the association. The organizers have founded A LOCAL ASSEMBLY OF THE BROTHERHOOD in almost every town or city in the country where ten or ..0re operators were employed. They have done their work well and cur rolls now showa membership of over 14,000. I have a telegram here from our representative in New York saying over a thousand oper- ators have Deen initiated inthe past three days. We are entirely in the hands of our executive board, in-whom we have perfect confidence,and we shall obey any instructions they may issue. Should a strike be ordered we will quietly withdraw from the offices, retire to our homes and await developments. We mean to be temperate and gentiemanly and shail do allin our puwer to merit the good will of the public. As to the justness os —_ demands itis only necessary to say a THE AVERAGE PAY OF A TELEGRAPH OP- ERATOR is below that of any other trade or profes- sion. The operators are the only class of workingmen who are compelled to work on and hoiidays without extra Sundays pay.” this o tor went on to tell of some of the grievances.

He had received no news regarding the situation in the East. He is satisfied that the strike is impending, but does not know when it will come. With the assist- ance of Chief Operator Topliff,who returhed from New York this morning, he was en- gaged in recruiting a force to be ready to take the place of the strikers, and he reiter- ated his statements of yesterday, that lhe would be prepared to handle ail market reports and press news, and that the embar- rassment to commercial business would only be temporary. : COL.

MILWAUKEE, July 17.—The press com- ments here relating t> the threatened strike of telegraphic operators, while kindly in tone to the operators, are in opposi- tion to such &® movement, - whieh is regarded as unwise and unwarranted The Times says: “To this aspect of the case the ‘Times desires, in ail friendliness, to invite the attention of the Telegraphers’ Brotherhood. All who are at all familiar. with the history of strikes know that suc- céss in strikes against employers of abund- ant meaus and determination, has rarely, if ever, been achieved. The common course of such efforts has led toa great loss and often to great suffering among the strikers, andto the ultimate resumption of work when permitted to resume at rates affording no recompense for the sacrifice. With none but the kindest feeling for the operators now threatening to _ strike, and without entering at all into the merits of their controversy, with the telegraphic companies, the ‘limes is constrained to believe that, admitting that the worst thatcan be reasonably predicted in the way of inconvenience t» the business community, and of the loss to the cOmpanies the only really irreparable damage that ‘can result from the coining suspension of work will be to the op- erators themselves.’ Thev propose to throw } away earnings amounting.to from $10,000 to $20,000 a day, more or iess, and even if their utmost demands should be conceded to in the end, the increase of pay they ask would hardly in a year make good the amount they will lose in a month ‘The situation and its probable outcome deserve caim and judicial consider- ation, which there is: some reason to fear the mass of the operators have not yet given it. An Answer To-Morrow. New York, July 17.—The Herald edi- torially says of the threatened strike of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers that although their petition is couched in respectful terms, it leaves the impression of asking too much, It requests that a day’s work be made eight instead of nine hours, and a night’s work | seven instead of eight hours, a reduction of one-ninth in one case and one-cighth in the other. At the same time it wants all wages’ increased fifteen per cent, irrespective of age, skill or the position of operator, besides extra compensation for Sunday work. The real effect of these demands will be best illustrated by anexample: A day operator receives, Say $75 per month; or, counting nine hours to a day and six days to a week, about thirty-five cents per hour. Under the roposed rate the monthly wages will be B56 25. Day work will be eight hours during six days in the week, or about forty-five cents per hour, an actual increase of more than twenty-seven per cent. In regard to the wheatstone operators an increase of sixty-five per cent is demanded for them. On the whole it may be doubted whether the operators have presented a strong case. That evils exist cannot be questioned, but ae will not be remedied by the course aken. The Executive Committee of the Western Union Telegraph Company will meet to- morrow, and the petition of the operators will’then be brought to their consideration, One of the officers of the company said to- day that it was impossible to say what action would be taken. ‘The general opinion was fhat the demand wag excessive and un- reasonabie. No action has yet been taken by the Mutual Union, the American, the Rapid or the Baltimore and Ohio companies. They Were Forgeries.

No other city in the world is furnished with better or more complete transportation facilities than is the city of St. Louis. Geo- graphigally occupying the center of the country, it lays superior claims to supremacy as the nucleus of railroad, river and manu- facturing interests, unapproached by ‘any of her sister cities. Particularly may this be said to be true with regard to the facilities furnished for the transportation of the vast commerce that daily goes out and comes into the city by express. A Post-DisPaTou re- porter recently made a detour of several prominent offices of the various companies docated in this city, and, by “standing around,” looking on and occasionally asking a question or two of somebody, gleaned a few facts and figures that may prove of in- terest to the general reader. THE HISTORY OF NORTH AMERICA, and especially that part of it which has the “biggest” waterfalls, rivers, mountains and lakes, known as_ the United Siates, teems with the successful undertaking of vast and original enterprises, many of them having their inception in ex- tremely modest ventures, with more pluck and perseverance than capital to start them, and with more persistence and “‘grit’’ to keep them going than influence and ‘“backing’’— none commencing with less pretension and attaining greater magnitude than the busi- ness known as the Express service. ITS INCEPTIGN. Previous to 1850, the express business was an extremely limited affair, being almost ex- clusively confined to the territory adjacent to the city of New York, and extending only as far as Boston and Philadelphia. Adams & Co. had a monopoly of the business, hav- ing purchased Harnden’s express, which was the first to commence the business. To Harnden belongs the credit of introducing the system into the country. About the year 1854, \ THE ADAMS EXPRESS COMPANY was formed, being virtually a consolidation of Harnden’s Express and Adams & Co. LESS THAN FORTY YEARS AGO the express business of the country was “top seat” of sa stage-coach, a,carpet-bag serving as a receptable for vaMables and small packages. These carpet-bags were filled with notes for collection, jewelry,laces, trinkets, coin and bank-notes, all requiring rapid transportation and quick delivery, the charges realized on the entire contents prob- ably netting a few dollars only. The men who had this busin@ss in charge were level- headed and energetic. The same qualifica- tions were necessary then for the successful transportation of yoods and valuables, on the pari of the messenger as are now requi- site for .the proper transaction of the busi- ness;each man had to be possessed of an iron nerve, astrong and active physique and an intelligent mind. Since the organization of the Adams Express Company the EXPRESS BUSINESS HAS GROWN to be a colossal affair,covering every railroad, stage line, coast and river route throughout the United States and Canada. It is pe- culiarly and essentially an American insti- tutioa, extending its ramifications to every hamlet, and with the telegraph and railway, putting time to defiance and making sport of The character of the express business is diversified in the extreme. Everything is carried,from a bottle of patent medieine toa pig in a box or a Burro, from a jug of whisky toa 1,000 pound chest of fresh beef. ITS SYSTEM, AS A UNIT, is complete for the transaction of its busi- ness, and it is done without jar or friction,: a package of ordinary freight passing through many hands, each employe hand- lng it performing his duty, and passing it on his confrere without collision of any kind. ‘Thousands of age gg are daily brought into the offices y the various wagons, receipted for, scripped, way-billed after being weighed, assorted into their proper “‘runs’’ or routes, and finally loaded on the train in charge of messengers, en route for their destination which may be a thousand miles distant! The office billing the package abstracts the way-bill against the office to which it is billed, and the agent at the point where de- livery is made accounts for the charges on the way-bill in his statement to the general accountant or auditor, to whom he makes a weekly or daily statement, accompanied by The express. business, 5 AS IT EXISTS, is an important and desirable factor in the commerce of the world. _ 1t could not be dis- pensed with. ‘There is nothing’ else With which its place could be filled. It oereated the ©. O. OD. system. What merchant would do without that? Financial failures have wrecked many corporations and mercantile’and banking es- tablishments, causing ruin and disaster, but there is not an instance on record where an express company has had to close its doors to the public on account of failure to declare adividend, unaccountable depression in its stock or embarrassment caused by losses, which frequently have been remarkably heavy and severe. The nature and animus of the business and the EXACTIONS OF THE PUBLIC who support and maintain it, have required that its service be rapid, efficient and exten- sive, and it has simply obeyed the laws of trade, which are arbitrary and inexorable, advaucing its lines and extending its influ- ence, until to-day it stands pre-eminently among the foremost of the GIGANTIC INSTITUTIONS and colossal enterprises of this present re- markably active commercial era. The traffic of the express business has grown very steadily, notably of late years, owing,to low raies. Its business has been a nece\s: but withal a perilous enterprise—durin War being especially dangerous. In consta z Operation from ocean to ogpan, from_ thy lakes to the gulf, moving a vast a ble tounage, the amount of yt te on a singie route at one time, often am@unting to Miliions of dollars. Upon this service devolves the carrying trade of important treasure, the perishable cunmodities of the fruit and vegetable dis- tricts to the large cities, and of that large Class of merchandise that requires rapid transportation, which cannot be entrusted either to the mail-bags or to the freight trains. The express systein is the gigantic artery through which flows the immense Coinmerce of the country that requires safety and expediency in its flight. So far, with ¢ exception of alluding to the Adams press Company as the first organized cor- poration doing an express business, refer- ence has been made to the “express system”’ of the country more particularly with regard it as an entirety than an institution with Many separate and distinct heads and names. n their management and the conduct of their business they are all similar to one another, aithough their operations may be different in some minor respects. Operating as they do over vast systems of rallway With through billing arrangements, and wit &distinct understanding with regard to the Hlerchange of transfers and the _ rata on charges on through way-bilis, their business assumes a magnitude Unrivaled by ahy organization in the world. lata tremendous tonnage is involved can Only be feebly surmised until one goes and Witnesses the heavy train-loads of fruit, Vegetables, merchandise and valuables load- - — this city. Anemploye of one of the com- panies doing business here, recently recount- ed to the reporter a list ofa “run” that was brought up on the Iron Mountain route from the South. ‘There was a fine-formed, sweet- looking girl of seventeen, a “genuine Mexi- can plug,” something over 1,000 boxes of fruit and vegetables, a heterogeneous lot of boxes, packages, empty beer kegs and meat- boxes, anda “big money run.” No city in the country enjoys greater ex- press privileges than the city of St. Louis. ét may be said that there are-but four lead- ing mempenics in the country competing | with each other for the control of the ex- press business. These are the Adams, American, Pacific and United States, all of which have officesin the city, The first named is the oldest organization in the coun- try, the second named, the largest. It is computed that the total mileage of the American Express Company aggregates 44,000 MILES, and that it has established agencies at more than 5,000 offices. Itis probably the most progressive of all its competitors, one of its recent ventures being the establishment of a money-order department, the rates being as low as, if not lower’ than, post-office orders, and with the advantage of a receipt being given, whichis bona fide evidence that reclamation will be allowed in case oferroron the part of the company. Money can also be ordered by telegraph through this company. The Adams Ex- press Company for years has had the exclu- sive privilege of carrying the Government’s money to and from the ‘Treasury Depart- ment at Washington and the United States mints. This valuable Contract yields them a splendid revenue annually, amanager and a large force of clerks being employed in the department for the transaction of this busi- ness, which is enormous, the sums carried in and out of the city running into MILLIONS -EVERY MONTH. There is a gentleman connected at present with the Pacitic Express Company in this city in animportant capacity, who, during the war, either as route agent in charge of a division, or as messenger “holding down” the “run” carried in his car over the Ohio and Mississippi Railway between $10,000,000 and $12,000,000 IN ONE CONSIGNMENT, the greenbacks and gold filling several safes rand packing-chests. Estimating the rate on this shipment at the nominal sum of $1 per $1,000, the net charges on this single ship- ment amounted to $10,000 or $12,000. While this shipmeaot was an unusualiy heavy one, there were many more of a similar kind made during the war. Secrecy, which is half of the safety of the express business, could not be very easily maintained during the war, and trains heavily loaded with gold and bank notes were generally protected by sending trusty men along with the messengers as guards. WHAT A PICNIC the gueriJlas might have had, could they have “held up” the train that contained one of these immense shipments of treasure. But had not begun operations in the field of in- dustry in which he, ultimately, achieved evanescent fame and ready fortune. The robberies committed by this deperado and the nefairous gang, of which he was the con- fessed leader, are too fresh in the memories of our readers to bear repetition at this time. Of the old gang of murderers, thieves and plunderers but afew remain. Many of them have perished, being hunted down and shot like dogs in their tracks, and they deserved their fate. Bud and Tom McDaniels were both shot. Charley Pitts, Bill Chadwell and Clell Miller “‘bit the dust’ at Northfield. In the penitentiary at Stillwater are incarcer- ated JIM, COLE AND BOB YOUNGER, serving out life sentences for com- plicity in the Northfield robbery and murder. Ed Miller was assassinated by Jesse James. Bill Ryan and Hobbs Kerry, are in jail on long sentences. Tucker Basham was killed by a member of the gang. Wood Hite accepted the inevitable when Dick Liddel ‘‘got the drop” on him. Jack Keene ‘‘pines away in a‘prison cell” ona fourteen years’ sentence. Andy McGuire “stretched hemp.” Dick Burns “lies mold- ering in the grave.’”’ Ol Shepherd was forced to the conclusion that ‘“‘time makes things even,” when he was shot by detec- tives at Lee’s Summit. Jones and Chiles argued several little matters about the merits of certain horses in their possession, ‘‘pulled their guns” and expired at the same time. Pinkerton captured Arch. Clements and he was killed trying to getaway. Jim Ander- son was shot down in the_beauty of his young and savage manhood. Bill Anderson and Jim Inman ‘“‘went to grass” and stayed there, each having had more lead pumped into his body than he could hold up under. And now, with one or two only: of the old gang left, we may look for a pretty long rest from the cowardly attacks on ex- ress trains and country banks. The “‘back one’”’ of the outlaws has been broken. Some of the losses of express companies have been very heavy, notably those of Welis, Fargo & Co. in the extrenie west. There are cases on record where the losses by robbery at one time aggregated half amillion, but there are no claims paid more readily than those brought against the express companies. In the city, perhaps the Pacific Express Company does the heaviest business, which is accounted for inthe fact that this compa- ny operates over the two. largest sys- tems of railway in the West, viz.: the Mis- souri Pacific and Wabash. They employ over two hundred men in their service and between thirty-five and forty wagons. Other companies represented in the city are the Southern, Texas, and Ohio and Missis- sippi, the last named being a railroad ex- press. CITY PERSONALS.

The inquiry was light from all classes and the supply meagre, the arrivals for the past twenty-four hours hardly being sufficient to meet the local demand. There was but few desirable grades on sale, and, al- though there wy no material change in values, the small sup id not prevent the weakness which chara zed the trade from the start. Oniy a few ‘buyers. were present and they with- drew atanearly hour. The market {@ butchers cattle was about the same as on yesterday so far as prices were concerned, but owing io the lack of demand andthe small number of good cattle of any description there was rather a depressed and unsettlea feeling. The inquiry for: Texan caitle was not atall brisk and the —_ fully equaled the demand. The same may also be said of natives.

HOGS—Simall supply and only a fairish demand owing to the advance which took place early, all grades and descriptions being affected alike. Buyers were not disposed to do much at the prices prevailing, and heavies were especially neglected, some few sales being made at an early hour at $4 90@5 fOr mixed pack- ing. There was afair inquiry for lights and all of this description were about disposed of ata range from 35 60@5 70, bulk at $560. On the whole the market this morning was in a sort of a ‘“dead-alive’’ condition and as liable to go one way asanother. Quotations were somewhat un- settled, although the tendency, owing to the small run and favorable advices from above, was bullish. We quote: Yorkers $560@570; mixed to really good packing $4 90@5 10; butchers and Philadelphias $5 25@5 40; skips and culls $4@4 75.

Poor old Egypt! Denis KEARNEY, Esq,: You will find the sentiment, ‘Republics are Ungrateful,” in Rollins’ Ancient History. , DoRsEY’s revelations come like dew to the parched earth to the newspapers that were famishing for something to talk about. ia Sag SRR SNRNRAR tnenthatNtae ahaa Our Bachelor Mayor becomes a Benedict, “And Beauty draws us with a single hair.” We congratulate the Mayor and likewise the municipality. 8 re Mayor Ewina will take a broader view of human affairs from this time on. His ad- ministration, now that he has added a wife ‘to his Cabinet, is almost certain to prove a SUCCeSS. be $ MAYOR EwInG thrusts his neck into the matrimonial noose to-day. As he faces this important event how feeble must seem the machinations of the Soiled Seven, and how yapid the vaporings of VAsTIN¥! eaters Soeetiene WATTERSON says that TILDEN is the man, but that wecan’t have him. This is tantaliz- ing. However, gentlemen, if the favorite horse has been “scratched,” let us turn an eye on the field and see what other racer is Se CnieF SEXTON has sayed, the city $2,000 by having the skilled artisans in the Fire Department make the necessary changes in the Seventh street engine-house; the Mayor is being married to-day, and, altogether, the: municipality ought to feel moved to rejoice. _ Tue survivors of Jonny MoreGan’s old command are about to hold a rgunion at Lex- ington, Kentucky. In the olden time it used to be in order to hide horses when MorGANn’s men appeared in the neighborhood, but we presume the eustom will net be observed in Kentucky this year. —_—_—_—_————— THE great WiGGINsS storm was badly broken up in passing through the horns of Aries. It seems to be getting here in sec- tions, about four months behind time. Three cyclones in a week certainly may be de- scribed as crowding each other, even if they do vindicate WIGGINS. YESTERDAY the Exposition stockholders voted almost unanimously in favor of in- creasing the capital stock to $600,000. As the sum of $20,000 in excess of the original stock had already been -subscribed, it will only be necessary to raise $80,000. his can be donein a very short timeif a vigorous effort is made. a Our gallant navy is terribly torn up over the question of a new uniform. As the navy is composed almost exclusively of officers, who draw good pay for doing nothing, it is no more than just that a change of uni- form should be ordered occasionally. Every- thing in the world should be done to prevent the navy trom growing monotonous in appearance. a sanenaenpeenonee enema meane menial Mr. Dorsxry’s yindictiveness is said to be largely due to the fact that his recent trials and tribulations have well nigh impoverished him. When Ricaarp III, inquired of his page for the addvess of a murderer, just as he might ask for the name of a good shoe- maker or tailor, the precocious youth re- plied: “I know a ruined gentleman, sir, whase humble means match not his haughty tastes.” The young man seemed to think that a “ruined gentleman” could be induced to undertake almost. any nefarious enter- prise. If Mr. Dorssy is reduced to the con- dition of a “ruined gentleman” it will be just as well for the managers of the Republic- an party if they do not crowd him. nn StupENT duels in Germany have long been considered farcical, The customary affair of honor at Heidelberg isa fencing match with wire swotds and as soon asa man is scratched he pastes a piece of court plaster on his wound and declares that hig noble spirit is satisfied. But a young Ger- man-American student named Lownia has introduced a new style at Wurzburg. He gotupa duel with real pistols and shot his adversary through the abdomen, Killing him almost instantly.

Among the ‘many factions and civil wars which have disturbed the sister Repubffc the present insurrection seems to have beneath it justice and sound public policy. .When MaximILian was Em- peror a large debt was contracted by the Im- perial Government, the bonds: of -which are nowin British hands chiefly, This legacy of Imperialism the people are now called -upon.to meet, and the key-note of the TULA revolution is opposition to this demand. Certainly itis hard that the British usurers should lose the money spent in the Imperial experiment in America, but it is still harder that Mexico herself should have to pay it. It is putting a premium on European inter- ference to foot its bills, The same principle applies to this debt, or should apply to it, that makes Confederate bonds worthless.. It is to the estate of Louis NAPOLEON, de- } ceased, that the English bondholders should look fer their money. The TULA revolution may bea small affair, easily stamped out, but it has leaven of righteousness in it that will rise again. : THE OLD TICKET JOHN Ke_iy and THomas A. HENDRICKS have both withdrawn their opposition to the renomination of the “‘old ticket.” Asit re- quired their united opposition to prevent its renomination in 1880, their acquiescence’ seems to promise it a “walk oyer” in the next Democratic Convention. But there is no telling what the intervening year may bring forth. There is to be a long session of Congress in the meantime, and this thing of having a recognized ticket set up as a target sixteen months before the election, is some- thing new in the tactics of the “outs.” Mr. TILDEN’s still-hunt within his own party may prove to have been rather prematurely successful. If he is; however, physically and intellectually equal to the occasion, he has a noble opportunity to organize the op- position to the further ascandancy of the Republican party upon a platform against which the power of the patronage in Mr. ARTHUR’s hands cannot prevail. There are some questions that have arisen in the popu- lar mind since Mr. TILDEN was last heard from, and in regard to which he has not yet put himself on record, If our Demoeratie House is to preserve a non-committal atti- tude next winter out ef regard for Mr. Tiz- DEN’S desire to keep mum ang run on the single idea of righting the wrong of 1876, the Republicans will have a splendid opportuni- ty to recover some lost ground by nominat- ing a Western man witha good anti-monopo- ly record and without a “‘bar’!.” TAMMANY MOLLIFIED. The New York Star is the personal organ of Mr. Joun KELLY and Mr. Joun KELLY is the personification of Tammany, The hostile attitude which Mr. KELLy has as- sumed toward Mr. TitpEeN for the last ten years is tolerably well known to the country. A reference to the histery of the St. Louis Convention of 1876 and the Cincinnati Con- vention of 1880 will show how Mr. KELLy has hitherto regarded the Sage of Greystone. Less than amonth ago Mr. KELLy’s or- gan, the Star,was engaged in flaying Mr. T1L- DEN alive. Now a change has come over the spirit of the Tammany organ. Recently the New York Times published an authenticated statement from one of Mr. TILDEN’s friends to the effect that the old gentleman would accept the Democratic nomination for Presi- dent again if handed to him on a blue china dish—Mr. WATTERSON to the contrary not- withstanding. The Star of Saturday last, seizing upon this as a text, actually pledged itself and Tammany to TILDEN in the event that the party in its wisdom nominated the old gentleman again. Atthe conclusion of his lengthy and carefully conceived article the editor of the Star said; If Mr. Hendricks meant all he said in that last interview, Mr. Tilden’s supplementary action in bringing the whole question forcibly before the party must be accepted af its true significance. It means that the old ticket stands waiting for a sign of Demotratic recognition and approval. We are assured through Mr. Tilden’s accredited friend in the Times that there is to be no literary bureau, no eorrespondents’ staff, no persona) ef- forts and few, if any, of the old elements that composed the working machinery of the campaign of 1876, . It is to be a canvass of simple historical justice asfarasthe candidates are concerned. The vitai question of polivical expendiency is left wholly to the discretion of the party itself. It is reasonable to expect that no influence will be left unutilized - by the friends of Mr. Tilden to secure his renomination a year hence,’ And if, after re- viewing the situation, such a renomination be then deemed advisable by the National Conven- tion, as we have said, no Democrat has a right to object. The tone of this indicates that Mr. KELLY has been mollified. It indicates also that the movement in behalf of the “old ticket” is moving. DORSEY’S REVELATIONS, Of the multitude who yesterday read in the Post-Dispatcu Mr. Dorsry’s inside history of the last Republican struggle tor control of national affairs there is not one who would not fee) relieved if he eould re- gard itas the false and malicious statement of an exposed and disgraced man, But Mr. Dorsey is not only a Republican ex-Senator who stood high in the eouscils and faver of several Republican administrations, and held a high official position in the Republi- can National Committee, but, as Bop InezR- BOLL gays, he is “one of the few Republicans who have been tried and found not guilty.” He has been arraigned and prosecuted by a Republican administration where its influ- prociaimed him the peer of any Republican office-holder in innocence. Moreover, the story he tells is new only in its details and particulars. The part he and Brapy took in the contest of 1880 was matter of common notoriety at the time, and was eelebrated by a banquet, at which he and BRADY were publicly complimented by the present Presi- dent 6n their Buccesstul use of “soap.” As a revelation of the established morals and methods of the recognized leaders of the Re- publican party, we are therefore unable to discredit it. What painful and humiliating pictures it presents! GARFIELD going as a delegate and as SHERMAN’S trusted friend to Chica- go, when he had already been conducting an intrigue with politicians of other states to secure the prize for himself; the subsequent conference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where Stalwart support was coolly bargained for and bought with pledges of appointments and patronage, and great eorruption funds were sécured by the promise of funding jobs to a syndicate of bankers; the contribution of $432,000 to buy votes in Indiana, upon the condition thai Lavi P. Morton should be Secretary of the Treasury; the distribution of that huge corruption fund with the knaw!- edge and consent of the high priests of the party and under their personal superyision ; the official recognition of the Star-route gang as part of the party machinery, and the levying of blackmail upon them by demand- ing a share of theif booty fer the use ef the party and as the price of permitting them to rob the people with impunity; the false promises, broken pledges, double-dealing, lying and cheating that accompanied all this villainy, produced the great tragedy of July 2, and out of a foully won victory at the polls wrought the disgrace and death of the party !—all these make a panorama of politi- eal life upon which no American can lovk without a sense ef shame and alarm. But “from this nettle danger we may pluck the flower safety.” It is, after all, but a pict- ure of the moral status to which long tenure of office and power will bring any party. It shows what a vain thing ‘‘reform within the party” is tillthe popular demand for it is emphasized by defeat at the polls. The nomination of HAyrEs was proclaimed a great triumph for reform within the party. Yet his inauguration brought it only deeper disgrace and worse demoralization. It reformed nothing, and the man whom he and SHERMAN dis- charged as an Rn faithful public servant is now President, The hopes of reform that were inaugurated with GARFIELD were doomed to a still sadder eclipse, and we now see on What a rotten foundation they rested. The lesson of itall is one which the people have already taken to heart—we must havea change from the old rings, with their stereo- typed methods of corruption, to new men in office, fresh from the people and who have not become so set in the moulds of machine polities as to have lost all sense of public du- ty and responsibility. EA etn SE CTO SP OnE of the RANDALL organs prints a Washington dispatch in feference to the Speakership of the House, in which the fol- lowing occurs: There is little doubt that the House will organ- ize with Randall fer its Speaker, and that the ablest men of the Democratic party will bé as- signed to the leading positions regardless of their preferences in the Speakership contest. ‘Just tell that to the marines. If Mr. RAan- DALL should be chosen Speaker again he will do precisely as he has done hitherto— vent his spleen against every man who has had the temerity to oppose his claims. No man was ever placed in the Speaker’s chair who showed such malignity toward his op- ponents as RANDALL has. The last time he waselected heignored entirely both Cox and MorRISsON. He gave them poor positions on the committees and the country lost, in a great measure, the eminent services of these experienced gentlemen. We all know Mr, RANDALL. He will “assign ’ the ablest men of the Democratic party to leading posi- tions, regargless of their preferencesin the Speakership contest’? about the time that two Sundays turn up in the same week. i tn 8 Tue “putrid reminiscence” organ at the corner of Third and Chestnut streets repro- duces this morning from a newspaper of feb- rile tendencies, called the Marsha}! (Mo,) Democrat, the statement that the ““Post-D1s- PATCH is trying very hard to create the im- pression that it is a Democratie paper.” Without pausing to argue ‘‘p’ints” with the Marshall heathen, we would simply remark that it was a cold, raw, drizzling, cheerless day in the month of October, 1873, when the able editor of the St. Louis Republican took his pen in hand and thus addressed the voters of the United States: | There is no such thing as sound Democracy of Missouri. The “Republican” has withdrawn from any slight allegiance it may have lield tothe De- mocratic party. We bade the party a gentle adieu when it was in the height of its power. The doc- trines of the Democratic party have ceased to be a living conviction inthe minds of the people. This was written on the 16th day of Oeto- ber, 1873. It*was quite a cold day for De- mocracy. Butit didn’t snow, and we wish to remark that while the temperature ranged luw the KnNapps didn’t get left, They caught the train again just.as it came around the curve. Tue. threatened strike of the telegraph operators has already depreciated the stock of the Western Union something like $3,000,- 000. The decrease since July 6 has been 4% cents. The demands ofthe operators, briefly stated, are; An increase of 15 per cent on all salaries; no compulsory Sunday work without extra compensation; eight hours to constitute a day’s work and seven hours a night’s work; both sexes to receive the same pay for the same work. The propo- sition to place women on an equality with male operators is a move in the right direc- tion, though it may have the effect, if adopted, of injuring temporarily the weaker sex. ence was most powerful, and the result has ‘The companies employ women now because they can obtain a vast amount of service for the minimum of wages. If compelled to pay men and women alike they would probably prefer to have men in their offices. But the women, as 4 rule, are given the small branch offices where the work is light and where the pay is graded aceordingly. Under the new proposition they would still be able to fill the smal) positions. el Re me Ei) ee i BD rene JrpGE OAKEY, the Democratic member of the Ohio Supreme Court, has prepared an opinion dissenting {rom his brethren on the Scotr Law, He holds that thé present sys- tem of taxing the saloonsisin the nature of a license and therefore uneonstitutional, Thijs is all very well, but the Republican court has sustained the Scorr Law, because it was necessary to back up the Republican Legislature. The decisions of the Ohio Supreme Court for the last twenty years haye been based exclusively on politics and have had no reference to law or constitution. 4f a shyster Jawyer should rise before a negro justice of the Peace anywhere within the United States and attempt to quote from the Ohio reports he would be incontinently giggled out of court. —_—_—_—_—_—_—_— M, GIRAULT has introduced a bDillin the French Chamber which will satisfy a long- felt want. He proposes that the State shall issue titles of nobility at a certain fixed tar- iff, probably with a suitable reduction to those taking several titles at once, and with special rates to clubs. To be a Prince will cost £2,000, a Viscount £1,000, a Baron £1,200, while to affix the aristocratic ‘‘de’’ to a name will require £800. If our Congress would do something of this sort, we could pay the national debt in no time, and would soon reach the slogan, ‘‘A nobility for reve- nue only.” Se Mr. G. WASHINGTON CHILDs, A. M,, has a Reeapitulation of the illustrious guests that have honored his house, which shows a record hard to beat in a country so barren of all that makes life worth living as America. He has entertained one emperor, one em- press, three dukes, one duchess, one marquis, five earls, one baron, one baronet, two eeclesi- astical dignitaries, five eminent authors, and probably four or five hundred angels un- awares. ——— — -_—-— — SOME people are talking loudly about Ben: BUTLER as a Democratic candidate for President. Ben is a useful man in his way, but if he should be placed at the head of the Democratic National ticket it would be nec- essary for him to secure affidavits after the election to prove that he had been a candi- date. His column would be counted by townships instead of States. THE harvest has passed, the summer is drawing to a clyse, and still three or four Democratic candidates for Governor have not communicated to Chaplain Brooks the great thoughts which stir within them when they contemplate the doctrine of Prohibition as applied to spirituous liquors.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. Ry Telegraph to the Pust-Dispatch. | New York, Ju 17.—‘No true American can read the story published in the Sun of yesterday,” says the World, commenting on ex-Senator Dorsey's Jatest disclosures, ‘without a feeling of shame for the past and anxiety for the future. It is atale of treachery, cowardice, bribery, corrup- tion and dishonor without precedent in this Re- public.

Post-Dispatch Find a Hearing. Sv. Louts; July 17, 1883, To the§Editor of the Post-Dispaten: In your issue of yesterday, under the heading *Krum Vindicated,” there eecurs some inaccura- cies whieh need correction. Inthe first place, in the preceedings inthe Probate Court yester- day there was no discussion, and I think no aHu- sion to Judge Krum’s general aqministration of the Ford estate. The whole matter had been set-, tledl out of court by the counsel, who had ascer- tained and agreed upon the amount to be paid. There was, therefore, no “yindication” of the management, or any approval or disapproval thereef by the court. One matter only was eonsidered, viz.: The ac- tion of Judge Krum in entering an appearanee to a suit in Chicago, gnd as to this the court ex- pressed the opinion that he had aeted wisely, and all parties agreed that the result must be sdvant- Spoons to the estate rather than- otherwise. his matter was called up at the instance of the Publie Adminisirater, ad for the urpose of drawing out the opinioi® of the court or his guidance. But the article in question contains this state- ment: It will be remembered that during Judge Krum’s recent absence from the city Mr. Jolin G. Chandler, as counsel for the heirs of Mr. Ford, publicly charged that vudge Krum had made false settlements; that he failed to account for funds in his possession belonging to the estate.” Whatl did say was, that on their face Judge Krum’s settlements were false, instaucing a par- ticular item of personality represented dy the settlements to be on hand eight or nine years after the property had been sold. This statement was literally true, and the imatter therefore was not referred to in any manner im -yesterday’s pro- epedings. The fact is Judge Krum had made ex- planations in regard to that,and had included the- amount of the funds derived from this personalty, with interest, in his setslement agreed upon out of court, as I have “Above shown, and the court, in yesterday’s proceedings, had nothing to do there- wilh, but simply accepted the settlement prof- fered and assented to by the parties interested. Ihave no doubt that the inaceuraeies aboye pointed eut were unintentional on the part of the Pos?-DisPATCcH, and that you will be enly teo glad to make this correction. Yours respectiuliy, JOHN G. CHANDLER. A Real Estate Man’s Grievance. Sr. Louis, July 16, 1883, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: As your wide-awake paper is always ready to work in the interest of justice, we would respect- fully ask you to draw the attention of the proper authorities to the following grievances: Why is it that real estate agents, who have a heavy license to pay, ave no protection from the autherities, whose duty it is to protect the property of all citi- zens. We, as real estate agents, put up our boards at considerable expense on vacant lots for the benefit of the public, and frequently these boards are kueeked down for the fun of the thing ov for kindling wood by hoodlum boys. Some agents lose as much as $75 to 3100 eed year in that way. There igs a law fo pos Offenders of this kiud, aud it strikes us, Mr. Editor, that if our uni- formed gents, that parade the streets and never sec anything but a drunken man or woman, would do their auty, some of these offenders at least ought to be ecapiured. We eontend that every policeman ought to see when there has been a sale bourd put up on his beat, and if he does not see it kneeked down, he could, by going to work imme- diately, ferret out who had done it and inform the agent, and he could have Lim arrested and pun- nished. A few arrests in different parts of the city would effectually stop the business. Yours, ete., REAL ESTATE AGENTS, An Earnest Mother, Sr. Louis, May 31, 1883.

I have seen some who an ii- nate or inground love of cieanliness kept within the bounds of respectability in appearance, and a yery few whose dress was serupulousiy neat ani tidy, but the number of the latter to the whois crowd is as the number of lemops to a barre! of yienie lemonade.

Reetor Hutchison preached a sermon on the text David was a Mav After God's own Heart.” Col. Elliott says: ~'! listened to that sermon with much intent, as there are passages in the life of David that had always seemed to me alittle irreguiar, to say the least. The rector touched charmingly on the youth of David and his celebrated duc! with Gofiath and then traced his career as he ruse higher and higi- er; his conduct as a warrior and as a judge in Is rael, giving him the exalted character Ww which he is no denbt justly entitied, and when I was about to conelude that the dark spots were to be passed over without a sweep of the white-wash brush, the rector said in his forcibleand impressive wy: ‘inthe matter of Urf&ah the Hitite, David must stand on the same platform with other sinuers.’ That was all.” _ ad a THERS has been a repetition of the story from Helena, Ark., to the effect thatone W.

For years uncounted this-cluster of gems in their emerald setting have rustled comparatively unknown, certainly unheralded, in the far northwestern portion of lowa;and while such was the case, at- tracted little or no attention, but now, when brought by railway communication within a day’s journey, the “‘use” is becoming daily more apparent, and while the beauty is no reater than of yore, “man’s need’’ has rought it into notice, and hence the value is every day becoming greater, It is summer with you in St. Louis! You are suffering from the heat, the dust, the flies, and what not? Here the breezes blow at all times, either over the lake to the north or the Jake to the south, and come laden with sweet perfumes from oft the Rowering banks, freshened by the moisture gathered in its short trips over the pure and sparkling bodies of water. it pleasant?

The alphabetical arrangement of the lakes comprising the froup are : Spirit Lake, shaped like the letter witha shore line of 13% miles; East Okoboji, like the letter L, and nore resembling a wide riverthan a lake, and West Okoboji, somewhat like the letter T, with some eighteen miles of shore line. There is great pleasure in fishing, hunting orresting at Spirit Lake especially, on ac- count of the variety to be indulged in when desired, the number of lakes to be visited, the lodges, the bright little city, the fish hatchery, the sunken | marveious natural ceuriosity, and the numerous other points. of interest abounding. | The Assistant Fish Commissioner of lowa informs us thathe has planted in Spirit and Okeboji Lakes within the pastitwo years over 240,000 salinon, trout and white fish, all in splendid shave. We caught a nuuiber of striped bass which were putinto these lakes some six years ago. Some eaught weighed four or tive pounds apiece. ‘The hatchery lo- cated here has been so far more than a suc- cess; in fact, is equal to. any in the United States.

We were a little late to enjoy the best fishing, which is to be hadin June, August and Septeiber, but evenin July, two young men sent home nicely packed 175 pounds—pike, pickerel, black and silver bass and perch, the results of a three hours’ catch. How delightfui it is within your tiny .boat—so neatly painted, so handsomely shaped, sy coinfort- ably cushioned—furnished with tackle and live minnows, who giide around within the narrew confines of their pail like truant moonbeams, fearing to be caught and im- paled upon the eruel hooks to become the food tor larger fish. “With dreamy drift we slowly steal, Heediess of passing time; We tear Ue ripples on our keel, Singing their low, sweet rhyme.

Too much canaot be said in praise of the a Ee N. route. The track is thor- oughly good, well ballasted and smooth, ey- ery attention is given to the comfort of pas- sengers, and during the summer a special excursion train will leave Burlington after the arrival of the trains from St. Lonis and the East every Satur- day afternoon, arriying at Hotei Orleans the following morning and returning tha same night.

Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispateh. BLOOMINGTON, ILL., July 16.—While lounging ina Bloomington hotel last even- ing lchanced to meet with an old and inti- mate friend of Abraham Lincoln, and, after discussing politics in general, the conversa- tion turned to the earlier times, when the young politicians were Jaying the founda- tion for their national greatness. These were men who did much for the Republican party. Speaking of Lincoln, the old pioneer remarked: “I remember well the time when I first methim. The Circuit Court was in session and quitea number of lawyers were in attendance from different parts of the State. I was particularly struck with a long, loose-jointed man about forty-eight years of age, dressed in very plain old-fashioned clothes without any pretentions to style or fit. On his head he wore an old-fashioned stove-pipe hat that looked rather the worse for wear. His hair was black and coarse and it looked as though it had mueh attention. His complexion was sallow. He had an in- tense, serivus look out of ‘a/pair of mild gray eyes. Heshambled about the court-room and appeared to be on familiar terms with everybody, ineluding ex-Senator David Da- vis, Who was the judge on the circuit at that time. Lasked one of the by-standers who he was, and he replied it was ‘Honest Abe Lineoin from Springfield.’ He said, although he jgoked rather rough and-uncouth, he’ was one of the ablest iawyers in illinois. He was unknown out of Illinvis at that time. I heard him in one or two unimportant cases during couct, and was struck with his clearness of statement. He had the knack of divesting the law of all technicaiities and making itso plain that the—most i could understand, and there, in my o@Mfion, the real souree of his “pow- er as a statesman. He had his little story to tell, and it was always to the point. Asa storyteller, he was without arival at thatday. His story left no sting, as even those at whose expense they were told of laughed atthe point. In June, 1856, ihe firs: Kepublican State convention was heid in Bicomingten. There was intense ex- citement all over the State in regard to the outrages in Kansas, and the slavery question was red hot. ‘Lhe cali of the convention was to all who were opposed to the extension of slavery, irrespective of party. It brought together a very large crowd, some of the abiest men of the-State being in attendance, but with no particular policy. There were a large number of radical Abaolitionists, headed by Owen Lovejoy and others, who were ree- ognized as men of ability and oratorieal pow- ers. ‘There was ex-Gov. John M. Paimer, who has eut quite a figure in politics since that time. He was elected president of the conyention. He hada lately left the Democratic arty on account of the Douglas Nebraska ill,and he still retained some of his conserva- tive Democratic prejudices against the Ab- olitionists. There was Senator Browning of Quincy, an old and intimate friend of Lin- coin, a high-toned, old-fashioned Henry Clay Whig, with all of a Kentuckian’s prejudices against the Abolitionists. And there was Leng John Wentworth of Chicago, whe had represented ‘that city in Congress, and who was up to all the tricks of a veteran pol- itician; and Norman B. Judd was there, and he worked on the Wentworth pian. ‘There was Dick Yates, in the fiush of his earijy manhvod,who became in after years Lilinois’ celebrated war Governor; and most conspic- uous among them I noticed the tall form of Abraham Lincoln, dressed identically as when I first saw nim. He appeared perfectly at his ease, but 1 noticed that he kept a sharp eye upon the procedings. ‘The fight was on the ‘resolutions. The radicals, led by Lovejoy, gvere for strong dec- larations on the silavéry question, the conservatives, led by Browning, were for conservative resolutions. The convention was nearly equally divided in ability and numbers, and was on the eve of get.ing into a wrangle when Mr, Lincoln arose: Ali of his awkwardness left him as soon as he stood up in the convention and it appeared to me at the time he was seven feet high. He made one of the most effective speeches4 ever lis- tened to. All of their differences were set- tied, aud they formed a platitorm which was acceptable to all parties. I heard hii in his debate at Charleston, Lliineis, with Douglas in 1858, but his eftfert at Blcomington far surpassed that, and it madean impression upon nie which time has not effaced. As I said before, his great ability lay in his clear- ness of statement, and his divesting his sub- ject of all fine spun theories and technicali- ties and coming to the issue at once in what seemed to be the most peewee: and common- sense way. I think in that respect he excelied all our modern statesmen. He did nothing for show, but all for us.” was ELL Bros., Ozark, Mo., say: ‘‘Brown’s itters is giving vente satisfaction than any ndle, Fu Iron | other medicine we h Kitty Mulcahy Discharged. Thename of Kitty Mulcahy appeared on the docket of the Second District Police Court, and the charge opposite to it was drunk on the street.

Owing to the absence of Ser- vant Fox and Officer Farley the cases of Herman Keirgorer aud Thomas Norman, who were also charged with being drunk on the str «t, were continued until to-morrow, They vere in the spring wagon at the time of the accident, and had bp out riding with Kitty frem nine until twelve o'clock last night. a ae — DWARFS. Sketches of the Famous Midgets of the World. I ES ee Diminutive Manikins who have Achieved Notoriety—The Dwarf Hudsen—A Long List of Miniature Prodigies. The unexpected death of the most wonder- ful dwarf of modern times will eause Jen- kins’ kettle to bojl afresh. The apotheca- ries of midget loreare momentarily smitten with biographic sketches of Tom Thumb, Bebe Colobri and Coppernin, and euriously watching the shadows they have cast on the walis of human history. Individuals of the human race, whose height is much less than the average of their race, have always in fact been regarded with more or less of public curiosity. Tne singular profligacy of nature in the production of these masterly eccen- tricities, causes many a half-witted pbilos- opher te seratch his dome of thought, and wonder what joke nature will perpetrate next. One of the fmost singular facts at- tending such a phenomena is the fully developed nervous system which almost always accompanies the gen- eral and uniform arrest of physical growth. The ancients believed not only in dwarfs and midgets of romanti¢ minuteness, but in nations of them, Aristo- tle, the greatest naturalist of aucient times, declared the undoubted existence. of a mi- nute race of men with minute horses, which lived in eaves washed by the waters of the Nile. Arisvotie’s statement would have much weight in determining the controversy if the philosopher at that time had not been in love, It is said that at the time He worte his treatise on dwarfs he was lifting his prayers to the altar of maiden affection, the lady promising to listen tohimif he would grant her request. The terms being accepted, she commanded him to go on ajl fours, and putting a bridle in his mouth, mounted on his ack and rode him around the room. A_ philosopher in such a predicament is scareely nit, philosophically speaking, to write on dwarfs, still Pliny corroborates the dwarf statements of Aristotle by giving an accurate detailed account ef these Niisian liliputians and de- scribing their exact geogruphjcal location. Philetas, a poet, contemporary with Hippo- crates, was so diminutive that he was obliged to bailast himseif with Jead to avoid being blown away by the wind. Probably one of the most remarkable dwarfs of modern times was SIR GEOFFREY HUDSON, with whom our readers of ‘Peverill of the Peak” are already well acquainted. Up to the age of thirty bis height was only eighteen inches, From that age he shot up like a Ke- publican. candidate until he reached the height of three feet nine inches. He was said to have a head of very large phrenologi- eal dimensions and hands of unusual size. He died at the age of sixty-three. COUNT JOSEPH BOROWLASKI, a awarf of such intellectual attainments that he wrote a brilliant histery of his own life, at 20 years of age was aniy 2 feet 4 inches in height. He died at Bank’s cottage, near Durham, at the great age of 98, an age withouta parallel in the history of dwarfs, Nicholas Ferry, nicknamed Bebe, at birth measured 8 inehes and weighed less than a pound.

Judge Lubke rendered a decision to-day in the case of William Glasgow, jr., and others against the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Iron Company, the City of St, Louis and others. This was a suit for an injunction to restrain the Shickle, Harrison & Howard lron Company from taking exclusive posses- sion of Papin street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streeis, pursuant to ordinance No. 12,457. The first’ section of the ordinance provided thatso much of Papin street s lies between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets is vacated as a public sireet and the use thereof for twenty years is given to the owners of property abutting thereon, at the expiration of which time the proptrty embraced thereon sha!l revert to the city as a public theroughfare. The sec- ond section provided that the _ ordi- nance is not to take elfect until a strip of ground triangular in form, having a front of twenty teet on Gratiot street by a depth of one hundred and forty-five feet on Twelfth street, shall have been proper!y dedicated and surrendered tothe city for public use. The third and last section provided that it shall not take effect unless wituhin twenty days from the approval of the ordinance, the Shickle, Harrison & Howard lron Company shail pay into the City Treasury $2, and file a bond in the sum of $20,000, eouditioned that the ironc ompany shall save the city of St. Louis harmless from the payment of any costs by reason of vacating § said Papin Street. The decision reviews the tes- timony and then concludes: “No authority from the eity charter has been shown where- by the streets of the city may be leased out or a monoply of the use, thereof granted to certain selected persons. At thedate of this ordi- nance (March 27, 1885,) and four many years prior thereto, this Papin street existed as one of the estabiished publie streets of the city. It could not bein whole orin part destroyed and plaintiffs deprived thereof, ex- of its power to vacate streets. So long as it is retained asa highway the city has no right toapply it to other purposes, or to granta monopoly of its use. No matter how praise- worthy the particular case may be the duty of the city is the same. In the case at bar the city being without authority to lease out its streets, nevertheless, by this ordinunce, practically proposes to let out one laduck of this street tor twenty years for the consider- ation of $2,000 and to barter it for a triangu- lar strip of ground. Itseems to me that if this action may be upheld on the ground that the Municipal Assembly has plenary power in the premises, then an ordinance vacating for one or more ‘years any One of the most prominent streets of the city and graygting the exelusiye use of that to some selectéd person could be upheld. That the Municipal Assembly doubted its authority todo what this ordi- nauce proposes is indicated by the require- ments of the last section, whereby the iron company are called upon to indemnify the city againsé ail elaims for damages. ‘Chere will be a decree for the plaintitis, making the injunction perpetual. MECHANICS’ EXCHANGE, Regular Quarterly Meeting— Election of a Director, — The regular quarterly meeting of the Me- chanics’ Exchange was calied to order at 13 a.m. sharp by President James Duress. The calling of the roll was dispensed with, and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted. The report of the treas- urer was read and approved. ‘The report in- dicates that the Treasury is in a satisfactory condition. An election ofa director to fill the vacancy occasioned by Mr. Green’s resig- nation was held, and Mr. Henry Bollman, of ‘the Kuapp Stout Lumber Company, was elected to fill the unexpired term, The meet- ing then adjourned. “What was the nature of that remark you made jn reference to the lease of the Me- ehanies’ Exchange?’ asked the reporter of Mr. James Duross, on ieaving the hall. “‘in the first place we were vccupying quar- ters on Fourth, and this room was offered to the Exchange by Mr, Obear, as agent for Mr. Smith, owner of the property, as weil as be- ing agent of the parties who hold the deed of trust. We entered into a lease for five years. The property we understand has been sold under a deed of trust held by the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co., and the agents of the same have notified us tp vacate. We are «f the opinion that the agent was labor- ing under an entire misaprehension as to the accurate facts of thecase, and that when the matter is fully understood by him, the: affair will be amicably arranged, as we have acted in good faith, and wedonot believe when the facts become known that there will be any disposition to take any undue advantage, as it would be a great inconvenience for us to wove at this time, imasmuch as we have been, at great expense, fitting up the ex- change.” STRAIGHT-CuT Cigarettes are best.

Hall, driver of reel No. 10, planned the whole change in the face of the fact that for two years past a number of architects have given their opinions that it was an impossibility to do just what Mr. Hall has succeeded in accomplishing. ‘The beauty of the whole job is that Chief Sexton has had the work performed by members of the department. The watlis of the rear house are.the hard work of the ‘ex-brieckmasons; the carpenter work was performed skillfully by members who tormerly followed that business; the painting, whichis a nice job, stands to the credit of Chariie Tilton, of No. 4 truck, and Perry Heiser, of the 16’s. In fact, the only job done by. outsiders was the plumbing, and that could have been done by members had they been possessed of tools for that work.

BELMONT AND SONS. The Broils Matrimonial and Social Which the Family Have Engaged in. New York Special to the Chieago Herald. “It never rains butit pours,” ‘Troubles never come alone,” say~ the old adages, and if any famiiy in New York can indorse their truthfulness itis that of Belmont. In the Space of three mouths every member of it (that wears trousers, the ladies have yet to be heard from), has been in some sort of broil, so that, take it all around, this isa warin season for the Belmonts. The father and founder of the family,-Mr. August Beimont, is a square, short, pleasant xentieman, with a lameness that forees him lo use acane. ‘There are three sons, and the Quartet have all been society swells the past iew years. The father has just secured the lmprisonment of Devoy, the Irish editor, for libel, Perry, the second son, has just suf- fered rupture of a matrimonial engagement. August Belmont, Jr, has just togged a heighbor. and Oliver Hazard Perry Beimont has beeu deserted by his wife in Paris. Gal- lantry has been the prominent and distinct- ive quality of the imonts, aud when one thinks Of the father’s romautic career they feel the sons can’t help it. August, Sr., came to New York vears and years ago as agenifor the Rothschiid bank- er, Olid folks remember the handsome, am- bitious lad, who had bachelor quarters in the United States hotel down on £uiton street, Lien the nobbiest place for a young man to livein that could be found. Then he be- came a favored admirer of a Mrs. Oscar Coles, a rich and fti.rty lady, whose father was the Delmonico ot Maiden lane forty years agv. Another admirer of .this Mrs. Coies Was a Mr. Heywood of South Carotina. etore the young Hebrew banker Belmont this Heywood spoke lightly of the lady, and Belmont chalienged him and foughta duel in Maryianud, getting a builet in his hip taat mamed him fur life. but the accident made a here of August. He convalesced amid the attentions and'solicitous uursing. of half of New York society, he was sucha dariing of a fellow. Scores of belles were ready to marry the chivalricand wealthy young bank- er, who, being ambitious, made choice of Miss Caroline Perry, whose uncle was Lake Erie Perry, and whose father was Japan Perry. August niade a capital hus- band aud fatner; as the race to which be belongs invariably do, Whatever August sr.’s galiantries have been, he has wasked his batteries and been amodel man. But the blood of the Bel- monts courses mofe swiftly in more unman- ageable currents through the veias of the sons, and-there has been this summer a per- iect ivrruption of it‘all over the worild. r. Belmont, sr., commenceda bitter war on Devoy aud has triumphed over his enemy, wi, in turn, will terribly turn the tables on the irate banker. The family have great political aspirations, and the political career of the Belmonts will be blocked py the Irish vote. This Devoy business wili come up i its strength whenever the head ofa - mont appears on tie surface, in the shape of av Irish fist with a shilielahinit. This po- litical retribution will fail heaviest on Au- gust, j.., Whose aspirations are stronger in that directiun than his brothers Perry or Oliver. . Aagust Belmont, jr.. in June thrashed a Mr. ‘lower at Hempstead. (Long Island) Depot. This fracas was the result of a de- mand made by ‘ower for the payment of a doctor’s bill by Belmont, who had injured a son of Tower's at a polo match. In June Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont so conducted himself with a member of the Eden Daliet in Paris, absenting himself for days together from his young bride, that she packed her pie-box, and. In company with her ma, Mrs. Whiting, flew for America Physicai reasons will Keep the unhapvy wile out of society this summer, but she ts at Newport with her family, and Oliver, who bas followed over, is at Newport with his family. Lawyers are already getting their tingers into the pudding, aud upper tendom is greatly excited over the next develop- nents. lt is a sad sight to see the invalid bride wife of ayear pass without a motion or glance of recognition the young husband who vowed last December never to desert or neglect ier—a sight often seen on Ocean av- enue, Where the Belmont and Whiting car- riages pass each Sther. ‘The third sen, Perry Belmont, is a “daisy.” Even in Harvard he made-a reputation as up homme gallaat, aud emancipated from that university he has hadaroyal time of it. jately his engagement was_ aunounced with Miss Marion Langdon, the great- granddaughter of the original Jacobs— John Jacob Astor—now down. in West Tenth street, next door to John Doff, the theatrical manager. Mr. Matthew Perry Beimont (Matthew suppressed on account of the disugreeable certainty of being called Matt) has located a very lovely and stylish virl, who keeps a turnout and In every way ives in grand style, Perry has been very build about it, and was seen frequently gal- lanting his cher ami about the premises. “Alas, in qpe mad hour,” as Elizabeth Bar- rett Browning says, Miss Marion Langdon, voing home frum a Sixth avenue shoemaker S, drove past the modest mansion ou West Tenth street. There she beheld her af- tianced husband escorting down the steps the lovely but loud jady, She leaned back In her coach and saw jum run back into the house with his night-Key for some forgotten article, and, with all the streagth of mind vo old great-grandpa Astor, she controlled her indignation and curiosity, and calied a de- tective agency into immediateemploy. Lt was the work of one aftempoon for a.sharp tellow to unearth the whole affair, and Miss Langdon gave Perry Belinont a swift and tinal conge, to that gentleman s great Chagrin, tor in every way the young lady isa splendid maten.

Corus, warts, bunions, AN ACCOMPLISHED RED MAN, He Gives the Aborigine Idea of Indian From the San Francisco Chronicle. * For several days pasta tall, well-dressed Indian has been seen on the streets and some conjecture and comment as to who he ig has been expressed. Last evening a Chronicle reporter found him coming og6 of the American Exchange hotel dining-room, and immediately engaged the son of the for- vst ip conversation. His nameis Wynryh and he is one of the Warm Spring tribe of Northern California and Oregon, employed by the Government as a scout and interpreter and is here ou pleasure. He was with Chicf Moses during the Medoe troubles and proved himself to be a faithful servant of the Gov- ernment. Hespeaks Engtsh, French and German very Well, besides six or seven Indi- an dialects. When asked where he acquired French and German, he answered: | “When the Modoc war was over I spent ten years traveling through the United States, England and several couutries of Eu- rope—a thing,” said he, drawing himself up proudly, “that none of my people ever before id. “What do you think of the Apache trouble and Gen, Crook’s campaiga?’ was the next question. “| know nothing about it, as I have not been down there, end up North we hear but little of the affairs in the South, but I sup- pose that the trouble started like all the troubles we have with white men.” “How is that?” “Just the same as it did with the Modocs. The Government always deals fair and sends supplies and gives us reservations, but itis the agen‘s and settlers that make the mfs- chief. When the Government sends us sup- lies the agents steal two-thirds and give us he remaihder, and the settlers get on our land and kili our cattle and do lots of other mean things,” and his black eyes flashed an indignant and dangerous fire. “It is just the same,” he continued, ‘as though some one was to stick yowin the ribs with pins; by and by you would fight, wouldn’t vou?” “Do you think there will ever be any more trouble with the Indians up there?’ was the next interrogation. “No, I don’t think there will be. Chief ee band and my tribe, the Warm Spring ndians, are friendly to your people, and the agents are acting fairly towards us. And as for what Modocs there are ieft, they are scattered all around in Northern California and Oregon and cannot raise force enough to make trouble, They are scattered like the papers in the streets,” continued he, point- ing toa lot of cheap advertisements flying around in the gutters. “There are lots of your folks think that the Warm Spring In- dians and Chief Moses’ band are of the same tribe, but they are not, Each have a lan- guage of their own and live apart. **Here,”’ continued he, producing a scrap of paper, “is something that 1 want you to tell your people I think is afaisehood.’” The scrap Was cut from some hewspaper and stated that Chief Moses had relinquished his claim to the Oregon reservation and had signed papers to that eifect, “Chief Muses told me before I came down here that he would never part with the land, as he hashis people, his family and many head of cattle there and it is his home. No, the paper speaks a lie.”’ . ae the Oregon Indians becoming civil- ized ?” “My tribe and Moses’ are. They farm, raise cattie, work and have homes, but the Modvocs (contemptuvously) don’t do anything but eatand lie around. They can’¢ fignt any wore. Almost all the tribes are increasing in numbers and live like white people. ‘Lhe Indians would not fight the white men if the agents would do what is right.

The signal man at Liandudno sayed the Irish mail passengers from what might have proved a terribie fate. ‘The signal man at the junction received a wessage from the signal man at Conway, the next station to- ward Holyhead, thata Sens engine was com- ing. ‘The junction signal man, kuowing that the Irish wail was due, decided to run the engine into a siding in order to permit the express to pass. He accordingly put up all the signals against the light eagine, but to bis extreme astonishmeng the engine came straight into the junctitOm at full speed, swept round the coruer, dashing past all the danger siguals, and disappeared from view down the line toward Chester. A moment's reflection convinced the signal man that both driver and stoker must be asleep. He accordingiy wired to the Coiwyn Bay station signal nan: “Engine comming driver asleep ; put fog signals on line.” ‘The man at Col- wyn Bay was equally prompt, for, running out of his box, he had hardly time to laya number of signals when the engivue came thundering along and an explosion followed which effectually awoke the men, The en- gine was stopped and run back into a siding, when it was discovered that the fire had one out, that the water had disappeared rom the boiler, and that the men had been asleep some time. Inquiry resulted in their immediate discharge. hey had been tif- teen hours on duty.

From the Loudon World. Viscountess Folkestone gave two concerts for charitable purposes with her chorus of twenty-one ladies, the list comprising a marchioness, four countesses, two viscounte esses, ete, and a band of thirteen first, tweive second violins, six violas, nine vioiin- cellosand four double basses, in all forty- four young ladies, trained and conducted by Lady Folkestene. it is not the first trial of this band, which has appeared before the public in a concert fer the Royal College of Music at Stafford house, that 1 mentioned at the time. They, at least, are amateurs themselves working fera charity, and that is all right.« Itis areal pleasure both to see and hear such a numbey of young girls, skill- fully trained and well Aehearsed, playing to- gether with an accuracy, a purity of suund and a perfect execitition of whatever they play, which of course is not of abnormal ditheulty. ‘The pieces are pleasing, and they have the great seuse to avoid the absurdity of so many artists to attempt whatis beyond their reach.

A Dead Mau’s Picture Impressed Upon ae’s Picture I a Window ann From the Chicago Times. An object weil worthy of scientifie investi- tion may be seen in the window of thé rug-store at No. 485 South Western avenne between the hours of seven and eight every evening. The object in question is no more nor less thay an ordinary pane of plate we and at any time except the hour spect- ed there is nothing abont it tnat would at- tract attention, but as the sun wanes in light and heat each evening it exerts an influence in the glass that is believed hy to be supernatural, and there are hand of peo- ple in the neighborhood who will not, under a Nay ep go near it. ere is the siery of the wonder lass, teld by Dr. A. e Smith in works annie the pane is kept. About three weeks ago @n East India Jew, who was possessed of nany eceentricites of character, boarded ina house a few doors east of the drug-store on Taylor street, and occupied the front room on the second floor, the windows of which faced the west. Tue Jew took sick and died after an iliness of a few days. He was dressed for burial and laid oui in the center of the room - directly in front of the window. _ About balf-past seven o'clock on the even- ing of the second day after the funeral the dead man’s wife was sitting in the same roum weeping over the loss of ber husband, when she chanced to look toward the -center window. As she did so she uttered a arene scream, and rushed toward it and egan to pass her hand gently over the low- er pane, speaking words of tenderness and lovein her own language as she did - sa» Wheu the people in the lower pertion of the louse rushed into the room, in response te the woman’s scream, they saw her kissing the window pane and acting in such a u- liar manner that they at once concluded that she was insane. She turned suddenly, how- ever, in such a manner as to expose the pane, aud the people in the room saw a sight that brought forth a yell and a general rush for the siairs leading to the ground floor, for there inthe glass was as perfect a likeness of the dead man as the best photographer could produce. ‘Lhe eyes were closed, the features were calm, and the beard and hair were just as they were arranged for the burial, The erp showed the head and a pertion of the ust almost to the waist. A linen handker- chief that had veen placed across the breast of the dead man when he was laid out was also wecurately reproduced. The wife of the deceased is of a superstitious turn of mind and firmiy believes that her husbann had re- turned to express some Wish he desired ful- filied, and stayed constantiy by it. The story of the “apparation” spread through the neighborhood like wild-Tite, and hundreds came at ali hours of the day to dee it. Many who caine in the morning: and early aiternoon and failed to see anything pronounced the story acanard, but those who returned and viewed the glass at the. hour specified were astonished to see the picture as it had been represented. Dr. Smith was a doubting Thomas for awhile, and would not even take the pains to go into . the room and examine the glass. He did se at length, however, and was astonished be- yond description at beholding the picgure, or whatever it is, as it was a perfect likeness of the departed Jew, whom he had known quite weil, the face and features being identical in every particular with what supposed to have been original. The giassis placed in the show-window facing west, and during the day itisa very innocent appearimg piece of giass; but when the sun reaches a certain point the linea- meats of a wan’s bearded face gradually be- gin to appear, and in about ten minutes the picture isc.mplete, presenting an appear- ance not unlike the negative of a photograph, only it is somewhat more distinct. The glass has been washed over and over again with strong chemicais, but its wonderful peculiar- ity can not be destroyed, aud ineredulous persons may have their curiosity fully grati- fied by visiting the show-window nua be- tween the hours of sevenand eight in the evening, as at eight o'clock the picture be- gins to grow dim and quickly disappears al- together. Dr. Smith says that during the past week the picture has grown somewhat dim, but not to any great degree. He is auxious for some oue to explain the mystery or scientific freak.

Maggie Mitchell is ‘accustomed, between the acts of her performances, to refresh her- self by a prescription of her physician, which it would be weil for all hard workers tm any profession to take advantage of. This pre. scription simply involves her being submit- ted to a sponge bath of rum. The constitu- ent of the bath is carried with the baggage in a five-gallon demijula, repleuished as OCc- casion demands. ‘This demijohn is sent from the railway to the theater, where it remains in charge of the property man, Toward the end of last season Miss Miteh- ell began to notice that her bath: did not have the recuperative effect upon her that it was wont to. The circumstance alar her very much, as it suggested that the remiedy was losing Its vaiue through some deterioration of her system. Her physician, however, assured her that this was not case. The fauit, he insisted, must rest with the rum. But the liquor was of the very best quali- ty, as the bills of the house which ouppins ii showed. There happened to be a little left in the demijohn just then and the doctor sampled it, Then he smiled, wrotean order, which be sent to the nearest drag-sore, and after certain thanipulations of the demtjohn of fresh liquor, in connection with a package of powder, he said, mysteriously: n re wa will know what 1s the matter with the stuff by to-morrow. Thais evening there was weeping and wall- ing and gnashing of teeth in the property room. Several of the attaches of the theatre were very ill indeed, and Miss Mitcheli’s rum thenceforth resumed its pristine strength. When you ask the doctor for an explanation of the mystery, he replies in rds tw this effect: . weWell, you see, an emetic a spoil tiquor for bathing pur as does ; but it hurts it—barte it pretty badly—for dringing.” i A Murder Trap. = Paris Cor. of the Londea Chronicle. a = atery surrounding a prisoner at ence be arteau, who obstinately re- fused to give any particulars, is now cleared up.

The League and Association Ciubs took a rest yesterday and no schedule games were played by either organization. All the clubs, however, will be at it to-day. ~ The Allegheny Club received a visit from the New York League team yesterday, and beat them easily by a score of 5 to3. base hits: Allegheny 13, New York 7. Errors: Allegheny 2, New York 1. Runs earned: Allegheny 4, New York 1. The Columbus Club’ defeated Dan O’Leary’s nine at Indianapolis, the totals being Columbus 10, In‘lianapolis 3. At. Quincy, LIL, the Toledo Club defeated the home team by a score of 14 to 0, making 21 base hits to their opponents’ 5. The score of the game at Fort Wayne yes- terday was: Fort Wayne 14, Bay City 13. St. Louis, July 16. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I would like the use of your valuable pa- per to make a friendly criticism on Mr. Lew- is’ play in Sunday’s bail game. Inthe ninth inning for St. Louis, when one man was out, Manseil reached first base on “‘balls.’’ Lewis came to the bat and struck the first pall pitchea, knocking it to McPhee, who doubled up both Mansell and Lewis, thus re- tiring the side. Had Lewis waited for a couple of balis Mansell would have stolen second .and reached third, while Lewis was being fielded out at first, thus baving one man on third base and two men out, with achance for a run. The same thing occurred in a prewees inning, but, by mere luck (the ball hit Mansell), both were spared. As Lewis te ghee | drives the ball to second base or right field I should suggest to the manager that Latham bat just before Lewis, as if Latham reaches. first he will go to sec- ond on half acharice, thus destroying all danger of a double play. By inserting this you will greatly oblige AN ADMIRER OF THE BROWNS. RACING, The race at Brighton Beach yesterday re- sulted as follows: Three-quarters of a mile for maiden 2-year-olds: Andrew Smith first, Boulotte second, Stringent third. ‘Time, 1:19%. One mile: Rushaway first, Lillie Dale second, Jesse James third. ‘Time, 1:4434. One mile and an eighth: Hickory Jim tirst, Red Fox second, Little Buttercup third. ‘lime, 1:57%.

Forthe 2:27 class, Catchfly, the ltavorite, won with the greatest ease; Sieepy Joe second. NOTES. Wallace defeated W. T. Leggett in a game of 15-ball pool at Mussey’s last night. The ‘limes Printing House nine defeated the Woodward-Tiernan nine, at Sportsman’s Park, on Sunday morning in a four-inning gaine. The G. N. Trautman nine defeated the Martin Neiser nine on Sunday by a score of 15to7. Perry Werden, of the Irautmans, gave the Neiser nine oni} 3 base hits and struck out 15 men. MEMBER West Sr. Lovis TURNER So- CIETY—Many of the pitchers in the Associa- tion and the League have the knack of making the ball curve in the manner you de- scribe. Both McGinniss and White will give several dozen exhibitions of the feat in to- day’s game. BASE BALL—After last Thursday’s ome the Browns were ahead in percentage, hav- ing lost only 15 games out of 47, while the Athletics had lost 15 out of 46. The Friday’s defeat by Columbus set St. Louis back again. On Friday moruing, the percentages were St. Louis, 680, Athletics, 673. SUBSCRIBER—The percentage is calcu- lated by dividing the number of games won by the number of games played, aud itis on the basis of this percentage that the cham- pionship will be decided. The percentage plan has been adopted to provide for the chance that clubs might drop out before the end of the season Sithout playing all the games. 5 The Browns and the Cincinnati champions meet again for the eighth game of their se- ries at Sportsman’s Park this afternoon, White and Snyder arrived this morning and will be the Cincinnati’s battery. For St. Louis McGinniss and Dolan will do the work. So tar the Cincinnatis have won five games and the St. Louis club two out of the seven played. ; Mrs. E. Wess, Bethany, Mo., says: “Four bot- tles of Brown’s Iron Bitters cured me of a dis- tressing and prolonged attack of dyspepsia.” Denison’s Docket. There were fifty cases on the docket of the Second District Police Court to-day. Allen Dixon, colored, .was fined $50 for nearly stamping the life out of Sis Campbell, a colored woman of thirty, living on Seventh and Wash streets. The negro had her down on the ground and was kicking her to death, which he would probabiy have done had it not been for the arrival of a police officer. | When Judge Denison asked Dixon if he bad ‘want to testify agin him. ire) r cent was . able on and after ie } 24 of July prox. T. e° STODDAKD, anything to say, he replied that the reason he had beaten the woman was because she had cursed him. Mrs. Campbell was so bad- ly beaten that she dbuld hardly walk.

Bad Men, Officer Tom Shivp, who spends twelve hours of each day in the Almond street pre- cinct, one of the very worst localities in town,admitted that ‘Thomas Wayneand Mar- tin Mack, two defendants he had before the First District Police Judge this morning, were as “‘tough”’ gentlemen as it had been his fortune to run across during his connection with the force. ‘They were charged with disturbing the peace. The principal witness against Mack was Wayne, and the witness against Wayne was Mack, and though each was willing to let the other off, the avenging representative of the law. in a biue coat and brass buttons stood between them and any such compromise. Mack was called to tes- tify against his chum, and. swaggering 40 the witness stand, he said: “Ah, I don’t if I have to, all I got to say is, dat dis man biffed me in de ogie.’” “What did he do?” asked Judge Jecko, confusedly. “He tried to crack my eye. He slugged me for nothin.” IL found a coze on de sidewalk, and he wanted me to divy. I told him to go soak his head an’ he banged me in de face.” Judge Jecko had this lingo explained to him and imposed a fine of $10 on each of the defendants.
